Metal Gear Rising thread. Releasing in Early 2013 for PS3 & 360

Clearly Raiden has a couple harnesses for his skull. A Civi body and a military one. The harness from 4 looks to be outdated so he upgrades to the better one in Rising.

Ah, ok that makes sense

There is too much awesome in this game prepare for full body erection!

So i finally put my preorder after playing the demo :rock:
Now, i need to parry consistently, i am not sure what i am doing wrong yet, but only the 50% of the time i get the parry that i want :frowning:

Just tap the direction and X.

Welp, i switched the control and my parries are better now (damn Pro Evolution control, you are no good for playing action games :/)

This game is soooo sick! I don’t even have any words to express my thoughts… I’m just impatiently waiting for the release. I only wish I had been following this game instead of arguing over DmC for months.

A few things I like:

  • the animations are flashy and smooth
  • the parry system is satisfying and not too brain dead, it actually looks and feels like there was impact
  • Raiden’s character
  • the difficulty… There’s a high risk of dying if you fuck up that makes it all the more rewarding to clear an area
  • Don’t wanna continue the trend of comparing this to DmC but, it feels more like a DMC game than it’s reboot does. The normal difficulty is harder and carries more of a risk than DmC’s difficulties above normal.
  • the music
  • the combat takes some getting used to but, it’s beyond fun and rewarding

Dislikes:

  • … It’s not out yet…?

damn blade mode cancels made my dick wet and hard

To me the actual parrying tutorial was the freakin’ fight against LQ-84 lol.

Seriously, he will destroy you if you don’t at least learn the “basic” parry.

Wtf is up with that ninja-cat?

It’s Raiden’s master, and the true final boss that will only be unlockable to fight after beating the game on The Ripper Extreme with S ranks for every part with no lethal kills.

Off topic

JP posted on twitter him and Inaba are heading to LA.

THQ is in LA.

JP also reached out to Vigil employees seeing if anyone is interested working with/at PG.

For those who don’t know, Inaba was the CEO of Clover, President and Founder of SEEDS Inc. (which became PG after merging with ODD Inc.) and is Executive Director of PG as well as a Producer.

I’m not saying anything, it could be just coincidence.

This could be quite delicious if they got a hold of the Darksiders IP and Vigil. Crotchpuncha had actually showed me a link about it earlier that you had already posted.

Platinum getting a hold of the Darksiders IP would be beyond awesome. Please do this

Do i need to play mgs4 before playing this?

A thousand times yes.

I just finished the demo and my god, this is my replacement DMC5 for now.

Probably not but we don’t know for sure at the moment. I highly doubt it tho.

You’re not missing much if you just watch MGS4 on youtube

It’s honestly the equivalent to playing it. It’s basically one long cutscene.

But to hit the key bullet points…

  • Patriots Gone

  • Snake gone (well, should be dead by the time MGR starts, but you never know with that determination.

  • Raiden obviously a cyborg and the only human parts of him are his head and spine.

  • Raiden made up with Rosemary and he has a child.

I can’t think of anything else you’d need to know.

I just played the demo a few hours ago and holy shit this game is sick as fuck and now will try to get or convince my friends/family to get it for me for my birthday next month. I am now a MGR believer now and thank you Platinum games for making me remember how sick your games are ever since and Kojima productions with the sick ideas. I’ll be in this thread more often now waiting for the juiciness of this game to be released to the public soon.
