@surfwalrus So you just admitted to never watching Dragon Ball Z, you would know that Shenron doesn't have the power to kill people. He's never had that power ever.
@VenkmanPHD I felt the same way with Order of Ecclessia. It was a good game, but I was really expecting some sort of advancement in the story, but what I got was a side story, that IIRC they tell you in the en that no one will remember the events that happened. It really pissed me off and I loved the series so much. I realized that if IGA was just going to keep making side stories then why the hell am I playing the games? The gameplay barely changes, OoE did something different, but it wasn't something that was going to last. The game's were basically over by the time Aria of Sorrow came out, there wasn't really much to do in the series except make a game about the Battle of 1999 which I personally just rather not see.
Lords of Shadow was a breath of fresh air, it had a good art, good music (not as good as the original tracks, but it was decent), and it had a nice story which was something I had not seen in a CV game for a long time. I'm interested in MoE and LoS2 from a story standpoint and the way David Cox is talking he is making it sound really good.
@Zeronz112 They explain in the game. You could have at least researched why he went back to fighting. Raiden needed money to provide for his family, his existence isn't on record so he took a job with a Private Security Group who help war torn countries on the road to peace. He is friends with the leader, Boris, and has known him since Area 51. Boris was a member of the Paradise Lost Army from MGS4. Raiden took it as an easy job and would come back to his family once he had the money for his family; he was only involved in security and military training.
Raiden comes back to fighting after his friend and client N'Mani, an African Prime Minister, is murdered by another PMC Group called Desperado. They not only murder N'Mani, but also cut off Raiden's arm and eye. He learns that Desperado has been terrorizing multiple countries and are involved with other terrorist. They are also involved with human trafficking, and Raiden learns that Desperado plans may go deeper than what it seems. So Raiden takes the job to find Desperado and stop them while also on a mission to avenge N'Mani and his personal loss.
The game is spin-off that is trying something different for a different audience. This game is for fans who've wanted to play a Cyborg Ninja for a long time and the way Raiden was shown in MGS4 cutscenes he would not work in an all out stealth game. So before he we start saying Metal Gear is dead or whatever why don't we at least try the game then judge if it was good or not. Kojima himself seems to love it.
@dalua360 @RichterB17 The only fanboys are the ones who refuse to believe that MGS: Rising was going nowhere in the development. 2 years... 2 goddamn years and all they had to show was a tech demo. Platinum Games have so far not made a bad action game and I doubt they would screw up on a huge series like Metal Gear.
@dalua360 @solidsnake50 This is getting really stupid. What part of this game looks bad? Because it's a Hackn'Slash? Since when were Hackn'Slash Games (especially from Platinum Games) bad? Seriously people get your head out of your asses and realize that MGS Rising was a goddamn dud and Kojima cancelled it. The game was ass and Kojima gave it to Platinum cause he knew they could revive it and make it better.
You people who've who are still clinging on to a tech demo really need to get your heads examined.
@Jawehawk-DK What do you mean his purpose in the game makes no sense? He's a Cyborg, there are other Cyborgs terrorizing different nations and Raiden is the only one to stop them.
