Metal Gear Rising opinions??
Hey all I was wondering what people thought of the new Metal Gear game?
I recently played the "demo" version of it and let's just say I am slightly baffled at the concept. I was expecting it to be going through similar storylines to Snake but the way its been done makes think I am playing either "street fighter" or the way Sonic the hedgehog is nowadays! :eek:

Metal Gear SOLID is a stealth action game with snake
Once you get past that, its really down to whether you like hack n slash games, if you like games like god of war, devil may cry etc then you'll like the new metal gear
What was awful about if you don't mind me asking?
Most people seem to struggle with the parrying which once mastered is better than any normal button
Fair enough i guess if you dislike those things you won't like the game
Aside from the camera which maybe messed up less than ten times i'm pretty much disagree
I mean in terms of story at least i knew what the hell was going on for once
Disappointed after playing the demo. Seems very generic and the stealth aspect is nearly useless when the enemies are fairly simple to beat.
Not overly impressed.
Blade mode is generic
Its not a stealth game it doesn't matter if the stealth isn't perfect
The blade mode was nicely implemented and the control it gave you over the blade was really good.
I liked the designs of the boss fights, but the Metal Gear series has always had interesting and unique boss battles.
The game was just too short, my first runthrough clocked in at 4.5 hours, I know it has replay value if you want to tackle the higher difficultes and get the better rankings, but just over 4 hours for a story is bad.
The camera was atrocious. It was always flitting about all over the place and getting stuck behind things, during the final boss it was especially bad, getting stuck behind the rubble and leaving me unable to see what was actually happening.
The stealth mechanic shouldn't have been implemented unless they can do it properly, which they didn't. Yes, obviously isn't a stealth game, but the sections were so half assed and poor.
One of my biggest irks was the point where
I know the production team had a lot to do on a short space of time once the game was outsourced to Platinum, but that section just smacked of trying to stretch out an already short game. It was silly and redundant.
On the plus side, it had a great soundtrack that really fit with the fighting mechanics.
Action was fun, story wasnt up to par and much too short.
This is the simplest story to follow in the entire Metal Gear world. I got a nice surprise when one if the characters from MGS4 appeared. I knew someone from Raiden's past had to be in it but I didn't who it was going to be.
They are... on Easy/Normal difficulty which are your only options in the demo.
Play the game on Hard difficulty and you will be grateful for the stealth options in some areas.
Complete Hard difficulty to unlock Very Hard and the game gets serious. Not only are enemies tougher, there are more of them in every encounter.
Complete Very Hard to unlock Revengeance difficulty.
Complete Revengeance difficulty without taking any damage and tell us how easy it is.
In the demo version I was expecting more of a "story" to follow, but to me it looked like I landed on an island trying to be "stealth" get spotted and "blade" the enemies which took quite alot and then go on to the "boss". The only thing I find annoying and a turn off with me whilst on demo was the "hits" to the enemy
if you like hack and slash games with a bit of originality and superb soundtrack then mgr is for.
i never had this much fun playing a game for a while.
zandentsu. slash and grab. love this mechanic
