for the past two years I was very wary and sceptical of the game since I thought the direction they were taking it in was rather bizarre but after playing the demo all that worry went away and it turned into anticipation.
I'm grabbing it this week while my roomie gets dibs on the skin deals that come with it (doesn't bother me at all since I only want the Grey Fox skin).
That and the demo to me plays a lot better than DmC and will probably make up for the shit that was Aliens Colonial Marines.

The whole MGS art direction and the codec talk puts me off a bit. I like the gameplay but the theme is not my case. Playing a badass cyborg in high heels is something you don`t see everday for sure. Maybe later.
Platinum Games is great but i wish this would be in a medieval japanese setting with samurais and ninjas.

I'm not gonna be able to get Revengence for a while with my budget, so a playthrough on youtube had to do it for me. Awesome soundtrack with crazy over the top violence and some funny one off characters. It's better than I thought it would be. I'll definitely try to get it when I can to play it myself.
I played the demo and hated it. The parrying felt awful and I didn't like how enemies could interrupt you so easily. And that boss fight with the robot dog took ages to finish for some reason even though he didn't hit me at all. Bearing in mind that I had just come off of a 2 week Bayonetta binge so it's slightly unfair to hate on this game.
It was pretty fun chopping up absolutely everything though.

I could flip that very same thing around and tell you that I shouldn't accept your word as gospel, after all you have just as much knowledge about the game as I do.GAunderrated said:
furthermore: What constitutes as 'fun' changes from person to person IE: Someone in the world might LIKE A:CM. We don't know who that is and it's now considered a terrible game among common population, but someone might like it.
That's part of the entire silly over-hang. Like Lollipop Chainsaw or Warm Bodies: it knows how stupid and far out its premise, plot line and characters are/is and it doesn't take itself too seriously in comparison.OldDirtyCrusty said:
Plus, when the heck else are you going to play a male muscular cyborg ninja samurai in high heels?
This basically. Platinum Games seem to be the only Japanese developer that isn't trying to ape the style of western games these days, and is making some damn fun, over the top, Japanese style action games. Hell, even Vanquish, a third person shooter with a cover system, was absolutely nothing like any western third person cover based shooter. They're doing their own thing and it is awesome.ShinyCharizard said:
I'l probably get it but I'm in no hurry. I've never played a Metal Gear game but I love me some hack n slash.
I like playing with Raiden the most in PS Allstars.

I had seen a shorter advert while browsing youtube the other night and it was one of the few adverts which has actually managed to get me excited about a game in some time (I'm going to excuse WoW expansions; I'll admit that they set the mood for upcoming expansions but I can't tar this new MGS title with the same brush since I was in no way invested in the Metal gear revengance before coming across it's advert.
To be honest I didn't even know there was going to be another metal gear title. I spent alot of time playing mgs2 and 3 and 4 has been on my to do list for some time (along with 'buy a ps3 to play it on') so I was inititally very pleased to see that a new title was going to be released and was genuinely interested to see that the title is going to take it's series in a new direction in terms of gameplay.
It looks like the combat is going to be exciting and fast paced which is certainly a selling point but im sorry to say that the advert as a whole left a bad taste in my mouth. Perhaps I missed some of something in MGS4 which explains Raiden's seemingly quite drastic change in character. Perhaps MGS2 simply wasn't able to fully explore just how bloodthirsty the games lead actually was. Whatever it was which caused him to snap, or even to simply stop pretending to be what passes for a functioning human being in the MGS series, taking up the mantle of cyborg-ninja has dehumanised Raiden and I can't help but feel sorry for him.
Don't get me wrong when I get a current gen console (and since I now have a full time, paid job I certainly will be getting one) Im going to play the game and sincerely hope that the game will have a story which goes a little bit beyond look at the monster, he enjoys killing people. I just don't really like what ive seen of the character so far. Then again, who knows, perhaps all of this hype is just another big joke on the gaming community?

Right, because there hasn't been a ninja in three out of the last four mainline mgs games. There hasn't been the theme of the thrill of battle....jwonno said:
Raiden has mental issues because of his time as a child soldier. What this game seems to be dealing with is why Raiden had the codename "Jack the Ripper" back when he worked under Solidus. I just hope they handle this particular backstory angle well.johnnyLupine said:
I think it looks incredible. Finally, I get to explore the Metal Gear world without worrying about being spotted. That, and ever since that MGS4 trailer[footnote]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k535AOzuNRQ[/footnote] I've been wanting to play as a Cyborg Ninja. Even playing the demo, I stop and think "Holy shit. I am that guy we were all in awe of for the rest of the series."
Plus I'm a sucker for awesome katanas.

...How is it a shark jump? If anything, this Raiden is actually much, MUCH weaker than MGS4's Raiden.piinyouri said:
This Raiden had a bit of difficulty when he tried to throw a Metal Gear RAY into the air. MGS4's Raiden stopped Outer Fucking Haven while badly damaged and missing an arm. Outer Haven is a country-sized submersible battleship with a facsimile of Mt. Rushmore build into it.
As for the Cyborg Ninja, those were build off the technology utilized by the FROGs in MGS4. Pretty much everything in Revengeance was stuff present in MGS4.
