Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance [PS3/Xbox 360] review

[rmoxon]

It was the fact that they were forced that made them worth listening too. The MGS games are the equivalent of a so good it's bad b movie.

[teddymeow]

Neither do I, and I've got English language.

I wouldn't worry about it. You can easily piece it together with the cut scenes.

Then I shall enjoy it for the combat and spectacle.

Cheers Dave (and EDD).

I hope there are no game designers reading this thread. Forced cutscenes are NOT a good thing.

[dataDave]

There are none here.

The only thing you can't skip are the credits.

I didn't realise you meant forced as in unskipable, I thought we were talking about how metal gear solid usually shoe horns hilarious random nonessnse into its conversations..... As far as I can remember all the cut scenes in MGS games are skippable.

Snake. Have you ever seen the movie Creature form the Black Lagoon?

I meant forced as in main story cut scene. Wolfy comes out with a couple of wtf moments but the main off topic rambling can be found throughout the ton of optional codec calls.

Most games are deeper than this.

This has no real depth whatsoever, it's a shallow game with pretensions of depth that are so obviously false, plus it plays like garbage. The game is an embarrassment.

Is dataDave Saurian?

[dataDave]

no, I'm Fallows. Just posting his vids because I got none.

[Zaki]

no, I'm Fallows. Just posting his vids because I got none.

I meant that as a compliment (looking at your rank screens)

[Golgo]

I'M Saurian!

Couple of censorship "issues" in the JPN version;

White blood instead of red - I actually think this is cooler!

No spine ripping anymore - Raiden just does some rubbish somersault over the enemy who then falls down and explodes.

EDIT; Found the spine ripping. Gorey!!

[dataDave]

That's a shame, but anyhow, the white blood is cooler.

I have the asian 360 version (although it does say NTSC-J) on the cover... Gutted it wasn't white blood.

Have you tried changing the language options? I think you can get English.

NTSC-J version (true JPN with CERO rating) is only in Japanese. No option for English but it's perfectly playable. The cut-scenes are cool enough to watch without worrying about plot intricacies.

I've figured out how to spine rip now.

I still think some moves are cut. It just feels like there's some animation missing at the end of the slow-mo "jump over" move that requires you to press Tri/Circle or Y/B to do.

Also, when you take down a Gekko with the swing through their legs move it just feels unfinished - like it should end up in 2 pieces rather than just falling over.

The white blood is cool, though. It's almost silver at times.
