Metal Gear Rising: Revengence Thread

The latest addition to the famed Metal Gear series, developed by Platinum Games, is set for release February 19th. What do you think of this title? Are you excited, or worried that this game may taint the Metal Gear name?

The title released on the Feb. 19th, and it rocks. Gamespot gave this game a 8.5/10.

So how is this game (demo) compared to the rest of the MGS series gameplay wise.Kman5507

The demo was fun. I didn't like the robots too much though.Kman5507

Robots have been in MGS for as long as the series has been around. Call me nostalgic, but I would hate if they removed them.

Super excited for Rising, but will not be able to play it for a while.

^Raiden got a bad reputation at first. Personally, I loved his character in MGS2, and it was cool to be able to see Snake from a different point of view.

How so?

I think sometimes its funner to have unrelatable characters and sometimes its funner to have relatable characters.

Look at Master Chief for instance. Can anyone get inside the mind of a genetically augmented supersoldier who was kidnapped as a child and trained to be nothing more than a machine of war? They tried to do it in Halo 4, which made it very akward. It was much funner when you were saving humanity from the universe's greatest threat rather than having an internal struggle.

Then there is Lee from the walking dead game, who you have to relate to because he does whatever you want to. That ending will leave you touched... (not the dirty way)

Metal Gear games get in your head, alright. My mind was perfectly in snic with Old Snake's during that one boss fight, no other game has ever done that to me.

As awesome as Snake is, he is very unrelateable in MGS1. If I were him, I certainly wouldn't be keeping my cool. Raiden felt more realistic, more human, and you sympathized with him more because of it.ShadowofSonic

I find all the MGS characters relateable in some way.

Probably not since the ps4 comes out soon. Maybe a ps4 eventually.Kman5507

I am actually in the same boat as Bugbag.

It's a nice boat.... who's the captain?

Really?

How?

Costume?

^I never knew that.

Predictions for the ratings everyone? I'm expecting a 8.5 from gamespot, 9.0 from IGN.

I say Gamespot gives it a 9.0 or higher.

Gamespot, like myself, has a weakness for Metal Gear games.

Especially if Kevin VanOrd reviews it.

Me too. The story is so powerful it's hard to even judge a single aspect of the games negatively.

All the websites that gave Metal Gear Solid 4 a perfect score.

Thunderbolt 100 Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will surely set the bar for this generations in terms of quality, and should be the benchmark for a truly great game.

For proof that everyone loves Metal Gear. :|
