I am ok with this. I will tone down the comparisons and hints about the game until after release date.

MGS stories never went stupid at the end.

Mentioning specific parts of what happens during the final battle and comparing it to another game before it is even out would count as a spoiler to a lot of people, me included.
I never mentioned specific parts in the boss fight. So as far as I am concerned you are agreeing with me that I didn't spoil shit.
Here's a mental precedent for you.
Game is balls to the walls over the top action. Oh sorry now I have set up a mental precedent for players and they are spoiled because they will go into the game expexcting such action so their experience is ruined.
Or something.

Can you
You monster
at least finish combos between cutscenes? That shit was annoying as fuck in DmC
You monster
Thanks. I already saw someone asking a question about an enemy and comparing it to another MGS enemy, which gave a bit away. I just kind of want to nip that sort of thing in the bud before it gets out of control.
This is not where the similarities end:
FUCK everywhere (actually a whole lot more than DmC), Poison Boss fight (but a lot better) is the one before the Senator boss fight and the twitter shit in the end lol
^Please stop these comparisons. I already think I have a pretty good idea of how the final fight will play out now. It's what I expected but still, giving it a direct comparison to a game I just played recently makes it pretty obvious, even if there are no details given.

C'mon, it's not that ridiculous
Anyways,
when Raiden fights with the giant severed MG arm, I thought "it would be amazing if he could zandatsu with it", and lo and behold....

I was actually talking about the game, not the final boss fight.
Ah, OK cool. Sorry, I guess I'm just getting a bit too defensive. I should probably just clear out for a few days. I just had several things spoiled for me about DmC right before launch in the same way and I wanted to keep that from happening here.
DLC is 30. Not sure about on disk.

They used to, back when I worked there. I honestly don't know if they still do, but I wouldn't doubt it.
Yes, they do.

I'm just walking around the house randomly yelling "NANOMACHINES, SON!" now. It's way too addictive
I'm glad the guy who wrote MGS4 also probably wrote that bit as well, it probably retroactively makes that game better.

Im not going to give rising a pass just because its made by P*
Developers please note:
CUTSCENES DURING BOSS FIGHTS ARE FUCKING ANNOYING!!!

Jeanne 3 is still the best way to do it, if you must do it

Well the whole game takes place inside Kojima's head, so...
I need to see that
This. So much this.
Also, Platinum needs to have more confidence in their gameplay, they don't need QTEs, the gameplay is satisfying enough, you don't need scripted "epic moments", you create your own epic shit through gameplay.
Please throw the QTEs and mid-boss fight cutscene away. It seems to be a lot better in MGR than Bayo (the QTEs) at least, it's already something.

God Hand had the best use of "QTEs" of any action game I've seen. Especially in the last boss fight where the instances of QTE's felt epic..
This party's getting crazy!

Between, this, Bayo, Asuras wrath, NG3 and a bunch of other action games that have come out of japan this gen, I honestly think the japanese don't mind QTE's half as much as we do. I mean who keeps asking for this shit?

I tried the demo for the Vita one and it does have some touch based ones.

Until they start letting me throw giant Metal Gears in actual combat, QTE's will suffice.

Has there been any details on the higher difficulties yet? That is really the only thing I want to know about.

I dunno I think if they gave Raiden the ability to run up larger enemies or more acrobatic manuevers, those QTE's with the robots could have been unnecessary.... one can dream though..
edit: Even though Vanquish was a shooter, I loved how they barely had QTEs with big bosses which allowed them to come back as normal enemies in later levels..

Is there anyone that isn't going to do that? Hard for life yo~!
After fumbling about with the demo today, I'm not so sure I'm ready.
Unless the final game will be a bit more graceful about easing you into the mechanics.

Why.
Honest question. I was going to run through Normal, then Hard. Is normal really that bad?

Sounds like they didn't want to scare off people not used to H&S's....My biggest fear from the demo that the game would end up being way too easy between the automatic rations and the enemies being walking health dispensers. Looks like it was true.
I plan to do that for my first time through.
How many difficulties are after Hard? Is it just Revengeance mode after that?
There are only four modes yes?

I always do a Normal run first
Don't need to be "challenged" initially. There will be plenty of that in obtaining the trophy pack.(hopefully) I like to experiment on the base difficulty when learning a new game
I got nothing to prove

Well this game doesn't have any trophies requirements for normal, unlike PG's other games
So go for it I guess
first playthrough is always about learning for me, so it doesn't matter how hard it is.

I found the demo looked good, but I didn't get enough time with it to get really accustomed to the style/controls, and sucked pretty bad. Definitely looking forward to getting some more playtime with it... Speaking of which, do we know if this is Day 1 Digital on PSN or retail only?
