Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance |OT| A Blade Forged In Platinum [LAW OF THE WILD]

Yeah, I don't get how so many MGS fans aren't stoked to play a game based around a cyborg fucking ninja. Especially after the years seeing how so many have had a hard-on for Grey-Fox. Hell, Konami and co were smart enough to throw in a god damn Grey-Fox skin for Christ sakes!

Boggles my mind that some MGS fans are reluctant or straight up not giving this game a chance.

TIME TO LEAVE THEM ALL BEHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND!!!
 
I'm a huge fan of both Metal Gear and Platinum Games so this was a very easy choice to make, game is scheduled to arrive on the 25th and I can't wait to start cutting.

I think some of you are a little too hyped. I think some of you are going to be disappointed in comparison. I think most of you don't care.
 
Wheres the cheapest place to get this in the UK for PSTriple? Was gonna hold off but read that Gray Fox detail.... I hate GAF somedays!

Christ, the soundtrack is phenomenal judging from the few tracks available. I wish it was offered in the European Limited Edition. I need it in my veins.

Easily one of the best action soundtracks in recent history.

4 years after MGS4 everyone and their grandma is a cborg? The story sounds whackier than the Acid games. And I totally want a new Acid game, but not as canon. After the latest games in the franchise the canon is pretty stupid already, but they seem to want to beat the horse to pulp with every new game released. I don't even want to know what Phantom Pain/Ground Zeroes will bring.

I'll get Rising, but at a modest low price, sorry, PG. I'm not into action games where a lot of the meat is in getting a better rank, so I'll probably only play it once.

Raiden fights again after vowing to never fight again. Raiden fights to ensure that Sunny never sees combat like he did as a child, then has her helping him out.

The whole MGS story arc was already damaged by MGS4, but Revengeance pushes it towards the depths of complete and utter idiocy... At least from what we know so far. Doubt it'll change, though.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
MAH RIPPAS~

Pity I couldnt christen this topic before MGR's very own clinically obsessed tsundere vomited words forth, but oh well.

I didn't remember him saying that he was done fighting, so I went and checked the wiki, and he said that he was "done running", which I took to mean that he's going to take responsibility for his life now, not that he wasn't going to fight anymore. If anything, it seems that doing the right moral actions is going to be a heavy theme in Revengeance.

As for sunny, did Raiden even know her? All I remember is that he was on the ship for a while when he was fucked up, but I don't recall them having any kind of interaction.

Edit: Okay, it seems Raiden rescued her, but she was mostly raised by Snake and Otacon as I understand it.

Am I a bad person because of the fact, that I just want to order Limited Edition, so that I get this motherfucking white box?

Inaba: Metal Gear Rising is longer than 5,5 hours.

A few days ago an ending screen of Metal Gear Rising Revengeance appeared on the internet, displaying a finish time of around 5,5 hours. Since then, people have been worried about the game’s length, assuming this was an accurate representation. But accroding to the game’s producer Atsushi Inaba, the game is much longer than that timer indicates. He explained:

It seems someone posted their MGR results screen and that people (mainly in the West) are shocked it says the clear time is 5.5hr.

Here’s the truth: First of all, cutscenes ARE NOT INCLUDED in that counter.

Next: For every chapter you play in the game, it ONLY COUNTS YOUR FASTEST TIME. It doesn’t track your total play time.

What that means is if you replay a chapter for 10 hours, but you finally clear it in a time of 10 mins. Only 10 mins will be counted.

So please don’t get fixated on that end screen Clear Time being total game time because it is not.

As I said, it is not how long you’ve had the power on playing MGR, it is a record of your best efforts playing the game.

We came up with this clear time counting system as a way to fairly evaluate players. It hasn’t changed since Bayonetta.

However, I will say it is really disappointing that people try to use a single screen in the game to try and create negative buzz.

So in other words, don’t let this judge whether to get the game or not. It will obviously last you longer.
 
first thing i noticed on the X360 demo was the tearing/frame drops as soon as you land on the beach.

might as well put "60fps some of the time".

I wonder if/when the US UNIQLO stores will be selling the shirts?

Gamepro Germany gave MGR 85%.

Conclusion: "swift and especially demanding Cyborg Schnetzler with a great story and a lot of temp"

For the record they gave DmC 86% :p

What? the game is perfectly smooth and tearing free on the beach, drops and tearing are noticeable in the mini boss fight mostly.

I had terrible screen tearing on the beach also. Hurts eyes that shit does :(

That's weird, I played the demo more than 20 times and didn't notice any tearing on the beach, playing at 1080p via HDMI btw.

BTW I'm getting a Rising t-shirt as a bonus with my pre-order but it's nowhere near good looking as the t-shirts posted above.

im a fucker

edit: game length literally doesn't matter if whats there is good, dorkos. Vanquish was like 2 hours long but one of the most replayable things this gen.
 
DmC will review better than rising. Anyone thinking different are fooling themselves.

However, the reviews will be more up and down the board. I full expect to see a few 9 and 10 reviews as well a few 5/6 ones as well.

In the end I predict that rising will sit at 81% on MC to DmCs 85%

No matter how many people on this board believe rising to be the better game, it still falls into some of the quirks of this genre that reviewers and casuals fucking hate.

Add that to metal gears overbloated cutscene focus and their will be Plently of people in this thread complaining about the game soon enough.

Really liked the demo. The graphics on PS3 were pretty awesome. That's hard to say for most games on PS3. I'm just wondering how long the game will be. I will probably wait to get it at a reduced price.

Is there any particular reason as to why? Besides maybe those that reason that the story has been hurt by Plat's zaniness.
 
I swear to god; if a story in which (DmC spoilers)
killing an unborn child
is lauded as a heroic act is commemorated more than Rising's crazy tale, I will eat Metacritic.

Also, re: Xbox control scheme; the controls are almost identical for both. If you really really want one I guess I can get deim0s to whip one together, but is it really necessary?
