Poll: Who else here prefers REX to RAY?

[CloggedDonkey]

I like ray more. maybe it's just I'm new to the series(I only have 3 and 2, but wont 1) and that I think the series deserves a proper burial with a flag over the coffin but I like ray. sure Rex has the hole "a god damn rail-gun" thing going on, but the design makes it impractical and slow, where ray is sleek, stylish, and affordable for the house wife of any home. sorry.

Rex, because Ray BLEEDS when you shoot it. Any mech that bleeds loses bad ass points.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

Well, from what I've seen, Rex get's my vote. Looks like he can rip through armys like no tomorrow

 

[Ben Legend]

Rex wins in style and aggression, but I cannot help but think that at the hands of a capable pilot, Ray should easily be able to outmanoeuvre and damage Rex.

I always found RAY more feminine than REX. Kind of like MGS2's protagonist funnily enough.

 

[Baby Eater]

we already saw who would win a fight.REX all the way!

there were thousands of RAYs but only one REX
even after rusting for 9 years it was the only thing that could kill JD
it didn't even need the railgun to kick RAYs symmetrical ass
but no one could beat the diabolical....*drumroll* METAL GEAR MK 2!!

DON'T MAKE ME CHOOOOOOSE!

I prefer MGS 2 Ray to MGS 4 Ray, the tail makes it much more convincing that it could actually stand and swim, plus it look absolutely bad ass with it swinging around.

But I also love the idea of Rex standing on a mountain side firing rail gun shells at at some poor target in the distance.

They're both great designs, imposing, fairly believable and well animated with lots of personality. They both come across as vicious and purposefull, which is great.

Personally I would prefer to see them operate in concert, Rex is the firepower whilst Ray is the escort/interceptor.

No time for Arsenal though, all that and it's just a fecking submarine. What a gip, I wanted a Transformer.

I'm afraid that I've never seen that show...

Rex seems more like a tank, and like something that could actually exist... Ray is cool, but it's just not Rex cool.

Rex hands down

Neon Genesis Evangelion, also called "Mindfuck". I recommend it.

 

[Joshimodo]

REX was a sexy brick with a railgun and a face.

RAY was a pansy, girl-bot with wing-things.



Plus, REX is easily the more powerful of the two.


Neither could beat Jehuty or Anubis though.

 

[Random Argument Man]

Rex is more of a tank while Ray is like a predator.

Rex has more fire power and have more defense. Ray is more agile and goes for a quick kill.

I'd would say both, but Rex can fire non-detectable nuclear missiles.

 

[Zero47]

Rex, Ray doesn't show any weapons and doesn't look that intimidating.
Also, Ray sounds like Gay, yes that must be it.

 

[Enigmers]

Rex looks like a badass walker than can crush you and probably will. Also, Rex is latin for king.

Ray is "A drop of golden sun." Not nearly as deadly. Also, Ray comes from Metal Gear Solid 2.

 

[Erana]

Is it just me, or does RAY seem much more fit as a machine like:

If I could have one DOG-sized, and with friendly AI then sure, I'd take it.

I dunno. Have you ever been touched by a drop of golden sun? It probably burns. All of you.

And MGS2 is a solid game, I replayed it recently with fresh eyes and found myself empathising with Raiden a fair bit. Oh sure, he's got girly hair, but the whole exercise was a massive precursor to MGS4 and the final codec call was full of mindfucks.

I really suggest you go back to it and play it through again. I believe that - like Problem Solving - incubation can make games better for a second playthrough.

They had the Gekkos

Which are about the same size. Not quite as friendly as DOG was though. More trigger happy than friendly.

Rex,Rex,Rex

REX looks better, from a design perspective. And seeing as how MGS was the first one I ever played, I have fonder memories with REX.
