@BigBossWato as do i, i was always under the impression "solid" was added on in the third installment because its the first game that snake was given that codename, but its been awhile since ive played subsistence, so i could be wrong.

@BigBossWato

People are upset about this game because its not really the standard MG game (for those of you new to the Metal Gear games, MG is the most commonly used by those gamers who have played all the games) as MGS is used for the 1996- 2008 Solid Snake arc led series and playstation lead, so naturally if there are multiple Metal Gear Rising games, it will most likely be reduced to MGR, as the diehard Solid fans WILL NOT want to associate this game with MGS, but, thats a side note, personally i think this looks friggen epic, its like metal gear, devil may cry, and ninja gaiden had a baby and this was the proginy (since ninja theory is the dev, the last two comparisons make sense) the fact you can cut virtually anything i think is a phenom of a feature, my only hang up is that MGS4 was hilarious with all the Playstation references, since this is a multiplatform, i doubt that will be added in.
