Yeah, but that's part of the fun, too. There's sort of a sport in finding the most random and inappropriate times to call someone and see if they have a comment on it. In true Metal Gear fashion, they very often do.
Like, to take an early example, if you call Boris when you're fighting the first Gekko, he'll comment on what a fantastic advertisement this will be for Maverick and Raiden should make this look good. Raiden is not amused. And of course call everyone during boss fights. Especially Doktor.

It's worth mentioning that the soundtrack manages to flesh out the boss characters even more, so even if you think the music is "buttrock" (it isn't) you gotta admit that it's pretty damn clever to give characters depth and motivation through music vocals, each song is from the perspective of the boss you're fighting and that's pretty damn rad.

Absolute nonsense. Probably one of the greatest soundtracks ever for the way it works in perfect tandem with the action, intensifying through different stages of a battle, for the lyrics that are all about the characters' backstories and motivations and the game's themes, and for how fucking awesome it all sounds if you're into catchy high energy hard rocking music.
Hell yeah.
Seriously. It's like listening to people go on about how lame the Lord of the Rings movies are. It's genuinely sad that everyone can't connect with these wonderful things.
Yes the codecs are fantastic. Super interesting and often really funny. One of my favorites is the conversation you get after the helicopter bridge chase in the first mission, where, if you listened to enough prior codecs, Courtney will tease Raiden for going on about his incredible new cyborg body.

RUUUUULLLLEEEESSS OF NATUUUUREEEE!!!
One of the best games on PS3 that I've played and GOAT Soundtrack. It's so good to listen to while working out. Red Sun always gets the blood pumping.
As if we can go through a MGR thread without this version of Rules of Nature.

I think it was a mistake in W101, but in MGR if they had the dodge unlocked from the beginning you would just have people spam that instead of ever learn to parry. This way they are forced to learn parry as their only defensive move, instead of just treating it like a god of war style game.

Holy shit.
I love this game and usually lurk in the revengeance threads when they pop up. Never saw this. Absolutely hilarious.
You are entirely wrong. Not a single word you are using to describe the OST is accurate.
I disagree. It's definitely not the kind of music I listen to regularly but it's used perfectly in the game.
I think this game has a sort of earnestness about it that's pretty rare. It doesn't put on any airs.
This is just wrong.
The soundtrack was great even if simply because of the way it worked.

Okay, I'm considering playing this on my laptop.
Can I play this in 60 fps? I'm not sure if my laptop can handle it. It's got a 960m.

Worst first post 2016 tbh
960m should be plenty. It's not a very demanding game, and it's mostly CPU-bound (particularly when chopping stuff into lots of bits).
It is a last generation game, so you should be fine. There's also options to turn down how many cuts will be rendered and how long they last for, so if your CPU is on the lower end, just turn that down, or be less extreme in how much you cut. While you can turn an enemy cyborg into 200 pieces of former cyborg, you don't have to do it every time, after all.

I love Pokken!
You sir, have a bad taste.
It makes me sad whenever I'm reminded that not everyone on GAF shares my enjoyment of cheese
I said my sword was a tool of justice. Not used in anger. Not used for vengeance. But now... Now I'm not so sure. And besides, this isn't my sword.

best costume in the game!
Glad to see the thread pop up as I just started play this on the PC. I'm at Monsoon and am really have to to learn to parry for this battle. Up until this point it hasnt been much of an issue.
Time to git gud.
BTW, so far I love the Platinum spin on Metal Gear. It works really well.

Glad I'm not only one who thought Sundowner's shit-eating grin was goofy as hell. Dude looks cross-eyed when he does it.
.... You're weird. Each and every boss song has pretty much perfectly fitting vocals.
Sundowner is well in touch with his inner child. He says so himself.

When it first came out, as a huge MGS fan, I thought it would be the worst thing to happen to the series... Then the PC version comes out, goes on sale. I give it a shot... Pretty sick!
Meanwhile, MGSV comes out and is actually less entertaining than Rising as an MGS game.
It's a little wacky, but it's fun anyway.

How can that be? I don't like (more accurately, praise) a pretty bland soundtrack.
But heavy guitars, guys! It's so metal and edgy!

Nah fuck all that. It's perfectly paired music with the frenetic action that's taking place on screen and puts you in the experience.
Same with any number of great movie soundtracks from 500 days of summer to the social network. Music that appropriately suits what's happening on screen is a moving experience. Even more so because games are interactive.
Has nothing to do with being edgy metal
Soundtrack is fucking perfectly suited for the game. Everyone's entitled to their opinion but Gaf has already spoken on this one.
I don't think you know what the word "bland" means.

Codec calls were there to hide load times on consoles. You can skip through, holding B I think?
You're right on the defensive upgrade. Should be a backstep slash type of move that gives you some I frames.

What's going on with all the blasphemy in this thread? I'm going to download a 2000 cuts mod to WASH AWAY THE ANGER.
keep your finger on the foward button and just slash the shit out of everything. You will autoparry almost everything, even on higher difficulties.

No it doesn't work that way, the left stick must be centered back after every parry attempt, every time you want to parry, you need to do the "push left stick+attack" once.
