From what I've played of both demos neither are anything special.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance |OT| A Blade Forged In Platinum [LAW OF THE WILD]
- Thread starter ScraftyDevil
- Start date
From what I played of the Rising demo it seems quite special. So much so that even in an essentially empty yellow room the game is still good fun.
Hmm, a game with a big name franchise behind it, on consoles with a combined 150m userbase, vs a new IP on a machine with a tiny userbase. I hope both succeed, but MGR obviously has a higher chance.
You seriously telling me cutting everything freely is NOT SPECIAL? haha man you so funny.
That's all it has going for it though. One of the fe...only thing I really liked.

The concept isn't entirely new: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoto4_7JVnQ
But certainly it is very special

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Because this needs to be in the OT clearly since he's moved in:
I don't know what Revengeance did to Akainu, whether some gruesome tragedy occurred to him and his face was held down to a screen displaying the re-reveal trailer over and over again during it until his mind just snapped, but you would have thought he'd have indulged in a little psychotherapy by now really. I mean for something he clearly dislikes so much he finds himself in every. single. thread.

Originally with anger (He threw a Ray?!; No stealth!?), but have calmed down once MGS5 got "announced", the Rising demo came out, and "it's a spinoff" got drilled into their heads.

Can't wait for the first good action game of the year to come out in 5 days,

Definitely grating.
I'm pretty accepting of it. I like the minds behind the game. So I won't turn away from them specifically because it doesn't play like a standard MGS title.
I'm also at ease with the level of ridiculousness in it. I mean in MGS4 he does
stop an entire floating fortress with his arms
DmC came out last month didn't it
DmC was good, but MGR shall be great.

Your life was really, really effected by DmC, wasn't it?

If you're not aware, MTMB is a well-known troll in the DmC thread.

He and Akianu should get together sometime and nitpick things to death

HOLY SHIT! How did I miss this?
Those Stinger missiles are to take down a Hind-d.
How boss that Raiden fired it with one-handed.

That's what I figured/hoped. The fact that this is clearly labeled as a spin-off really drives home that they can enjoy it for what it is. It's loose cannon that's tangentially related to the mainline story, so they've taken liberties.
I kind of enjoy akainu trolling in this thread. He seems to be walking a fine line above outright trolling by asking obnoxious questions and pointing out inane details, all while ignoring or belittling the main features of the game.
So for example he pointed out that Raiden doesn't have claws on his feet (he does) so there shouldn't be sparks, all the while ignoring the fact that Raiden is pulling off some crazy matrix inspired move.
Bravo Akainu! Your line of critique is solid. I look forward to read more of you posts!

That matrix move is so FUCKING AWESOME!
Oh my god!!! I've largely been on a blackout for this game. Upon seeing this .gif I shat a brick.
NEXT TUESDAY!!!! YESSSSSS!
Yes, I'm sure a new IP coming out on a console on life support will sell more than a Metal Gear title on the PS3 and 360.
edit: I think W101 looks fucking awesome and I hope it's a huge hit, but it is what it is.
Ouch.
So this has turned into the Donte must Cry vs Metal Gear Raiden thread now, huh?
Spoiler: Neither of them match the King and Prince of the genre: Ninja Gaiden: Black and Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, respectively.
But MGRaiden is more fun than Donte and Raiden's cocky-ness matches Dante more than Donte's.
actually he stops it with his feet and back...he had only one arm at that point..
How do you people do it? How can it arrive before its launch? I'm outraged and jealous!

I'm very eager to play this - so much so that I think I'll break out Bayonetta and Vanquish this weekend - both of which I have never fully finished. I'm really not sure why - I adore both games!

...Get on that. Right now!
Review copy.
Oh, you lucky, you!
Actually, could anyone with a review copy answer me this one question - is there an option to change difficulty during a playthrough, or is it one saveslot = one difficulty? I think answering that would ok, embargo can't be that strict.

There are still people who haven't played bayo and vanquish after this many lttp threads?
Is that just staged for the trailer or we be able to have that many enemies on screen
please let it be enemies on screen

Only thing that bothers me.
I can't see current gen consoles handling that many enemies on screen especially if you can slice everyone into bits.

The jizzing will commence very soon. Until then I'll be playing some Peace Walker this weekend.
Because it was cool when I saw it in the matrix. Should I go crazy from everything that does a similar move?
After the nightmare/epic slowdown staircase from Ninja gaiden 2 I don't mind, it a shame but 4 enemies and a gekko is fine at moment
Can you imagine all the grenades constantly being thrown?
