Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Okay! Can't wait for your first post in the OT!
I just don't need your wind justification. It's silly. If you want to do that why not make a vacuum effect and draw in the enemies.
The hitbox on that pole weapon is clearly fubar, that's all there is to it.
Show me a video of you constantly getting 6000 points on every encounter or fuck off.
Actually, just fuck off.

I've noticed that tag-quoting Jett is pretty much always bullshit.
He's neither uniformly negative, nor is he the only poster who expresses negative opinions. Even if people are just joking when they do it, it reinforces an inaccurate schema about him which is probably irritating to him and adds nothing for anyone else.
Most tags are done to annoy the poster.
Dude, simmer the hell down, there's no need to be getting so riled up. What your doing is a great path to getting into trouble.
Hitboxes should be in service of gameplay, even if it means that some stuff ends up looking wonky.
I know in Anarchy Reigns that grab ranges have way longer reach than they give away and it looks really, really weird. Almost like a teleport. Took me a while to figure out that was just how the game operated rather than any actual lag.

I'm ok with this.Hey, so you guys remember Vanquish pre-launch, right? Game Informer! 4 hours to beat! Sure you do.
WELP:
This is flaoting around. It seems like that's the entire game. Granted, the 59 deaths thing is, uh...weird as fuck, but otherwise, it seems to check out. The achievements for Rising have 8 "acts" or "chapters" or whatever you want to call them and this is showing 8 grades with an overall grade at the end.
The extra hour and a half is probably the cutscenes.
I don't mind a 5 hour game. This could be a good way to cut filler, dev costs and time. It won't overstay it's welcome. A game that short would entice me to start over and play through it again, which I never do.
Maybe Raiden needs a hip check.

I've already spent at least that much time in the demo alone, so I don't mind. Also those rankings. It seems like they tried to rush through it pretty quickly anyways.

Love how people are mad being shoot by foot soldiers, when they try to kill the gecko first.

That's fine, I'm sure many of them are earned.
Tag-quoting is just shit posting, though. Same as calling out someone for being a junior, as if that has any actual correlation to posting quality. Once in a great while, someone with a brand new account doesn't understand they aren't on Gametrailers forum (or wherever) anymore and posts something stupid and suddenly all juniors are dumb. Tag-quoting and calling people junior is just a way to try to invalidate someone without actually saying anything of merit.

Well the geckos can do it to.
That's why I think damage is an optional bonus and not a base requirement for rank like in bayo.
Sometimes you just get hit by shit you can't do anything about.
Well calling someone a junior is mostly just to degrade the poster which I wholly disagree with. Tag-quoting though can be done in a joking manner. It's the intent more-so than anything.
Welp, finally got 6000 on the BladeWolf. I'm done with the demo at last. I'm definitely never attempting a "perfect run" of this sort on the actual game, I believe it would take me forever.
Protip: The Gekko also has a machine gun. Protip #2: soldiers will shoot you whether or not there's a Gekko around. Protip #3 A group of soliders are a general pain in the fucking ass when you're attempting to not get hit ever while zandatsuing all of them AND getting perfect limb cutting on them, which is what I was trying to do to get BP points. Protip #4: You can't do that with the pussy-ass slide->blademode move, which I know is the easiest way to kill the walking medkits. Protip #5: Try to understand what I was saying next time.
Yep. I'll content myself with S ranking the game. PG are even nice enough to only make 4000 points be the requirement for S rank in boss battles.

Dodging machine gun fire from one gecko is far easier, than 4-5 foot soldiers. But seriously, never really had a problem not getting hit. Sliding is very helpful. To stunlock certain enemies, it's all about crowd control.

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
Supposed quotes from the mag article are that it's around 6-8 hours long, and it's almost certainly the best Metal Gear game released this generation. lol, not an MGS4 fan, I guess.
Wish we had more substantial info...

Yeah, that's fair. Jokes are fine. I just notice it happens to Jett pretty frequently and it's unclear whether it's always a joke. I usually read it as a genuine dismissal but I could be wrong; I have no way to know for sure. Given how people react to disagreement on the internet (and GAF is no exception) it's not a stretch to assume it's often meant to trivialize a negative opinion.
Cool. I'll probably end up agreeing seeing as I hate MGS 4.

It is interesting that people keep saying this, but I believe that the cutscenes should be separated from the gameplay.
Assuming that this Rising time does NOT include cutscenes, it is very comparable. In fact, the Big Boss emblem (and many others) in MGS4 requires a completion time of under 5 hours.

Honestly, a 5-hour game seems a bit on the short side, and would usually be something that would give me pause. But this is Metal Gear, so I'm buying it regardless. Especially after that spectacular demo.
I played the demo on 360, though, and am most likely going to buy the game itself on PS3. So how does the PS3 version handle?
PS3 version looks sharper.

yeah that pic was originally posted on my website by a friend and its real. According to him the game is short but not in a bad way at all. He is an RPG game lover and not an action game fan but still loved the game. we discussed it on our podcast this week if your interested. Hope that helps.

Did he play any VR mission?
We know that's there a few hidden items and VR missions in the main campaign.

Yep. I loved something like Alice Madness Returns, but it was so repetitive and too long for what it was that I gave up on it and never finished. Everything doesn't have to be a stretched experience to justify a purchase.

Right, there we go. So if you don't die at all and watch no cutscenes, you get five and a half hours of speed running. Sounds like 7-8 is gonna be the actual count if not more with all the VR and secret stuff.
cool
I win I never pre-ordered in the first place.

That's some good tweeting right there.
Pre-release trolls are not a good reason to change a really good way to track playtime.
That was expected. I don't see why anyone that has played past P* games could think otherwise. I think what they should do with their next game is include 2 counters: a "total time spent on the game" that's linked to your save (like DMC4's timer for example), and another counter that works like the one they have now, that is linked to the current playthrough. That way they wouldn't have to deal with bullshit like this pre-release.
Also, it sounds like the game will have a length that's on par with the average for action games actually.

They could have put both times on there. I'm fine with the 5-7 hours of great action which what I hear this game happens to be.
