Metal Gear Rising Revengeance Review | Globe and Mail

Globe and Mail: "Bad writing and voice acting, uninteresting linear environments, camera problems, dumb enemies and nonsensical action that is also insanely difficult to combine into a game that is thoroughly un-fun and a chore to get through. It’s enough to send you scrambling back to older games in the series, to get the sour taste of this one out of your mouth."

That's what.

Ritsujun4073d ago

The mad reviewer got owned hard, that's what.

HammadTheBeast4073d ago

He gave Aliens:Colonial Marines a 6/10, yet didn't criticize the idiotic AI in that game.

Temporary4072d ago

...scrambling back to old games in the series? what a joke, he obviously reviewed this with MGS series as a frame of reference.

If you judge the game on its own merits, it's at LEAST a 7. I would give it an 8 for sure, just becauseit's so damn fun. It's not SUPPOSED to be DEEP and ENGROSSING like a Metal Gear game.

Retard reviewer, people like him are the reason we have such a disconnect with reviewers.

Irishguy954073d ago

I was SHOCKED to find out Revengeance is actually a real word.

StrawberryDiesel4204072d ago

This review is a joke, the boss battles are very interesting and the gameplay is awesome. This is like No More Heroes but with much better gameplay and it runs flawlessly, on PS3 at least. 60 FPS gorgeous smooth slicing gameplay and it fits well in the Metal Gear Universe.

MontyQ4073d ago

probley the game looks like a trud wrapped in MGS package to sell millions to mindless fans of MG series

Allsystemgamer4073d ago (Edited 4073d ago )

Uh....playing as a character how he should be played is a bad thing apparently. Once raiden was revealed in 4 EVERYONE wanted to play as him

And it's beautiful for a console game running at 60 fps

Temporary4072d ago

This game's combat is just so good, I cant see how people wouldnt enjoy it. Every person that bashes the game has to make a comment like "Not worthy of the Metal Gear name!"

That kind of bias is just so silly ... this is a GREAT Spin-off.

WarThunder4073d ago

People actually believe this shitty reviews?....

*facepalm*

Blacktric4073d ago

" to sell millions to mindless fans of MG series"

Are you sure you aren't confusing Metal Gear Solid with Call Of Duty?

admiralvic4073d ago

While I can understand having a different opinion and even disliking a game, this is a desperate attempt to troll for hits. Down voted / disliked.

Saucyknight4073d ago

I did think the parry system was a bit hard to master, i believe they should of had a block button and blocking at the right time would result in a parry but whatever, i understand the camera problems he was having and it was a pain BUT i really liked the game for the story, boss fights, unlockables.

Luke_fon_Fabre4073d ago

I've only played the first part, but I've found that this game is quite good. I really have no clue why any reviewer would give this anything less than a 7/10.

StrawberryDiesel4204072d ago

A reasonable journalist acting professionally should review this game no less than an 8.5/10, it's a quality game that runs great and looks gorgeous.

Metal Gear Solid Can Work Without Hideo Kojima

There are more good non-Kojima Metal Gear games than one would realize. Scientifically, three examples prove a trend, and in this feature are three excellent Metal Gear games that Hideo Kojima did not direct.

I hope so, still cant forget MGS Survive , the first MGS game without Kojima involvement and it was a complete failure, the thing is Kojima way of thinking is outside the box and that's why their games 99% end up unique, original and a almost instant classic. MGS series are full of intricate things that somehows connects to each other, Lalulilelo, the Patriots, Outher heaven, Foxhound, PMCs , heck even Kojima manage to insert DARPA in there lol, a US government Defense Agency. So is really great MGS3 Remake is reviving the series but without Kojima who knows of the end result, I hope Konami have another or more developers insight their studios who can also think outside the box.

senorfartcushion320d ago

It actually can’t. But it won’t matter.

Kojima is Metal Gear the same way that Christopher Nolan is The Dark Knight, or David Lynch is Twin Peaks: The Return episode 8. Artistry is the creation of a thing from your own thoughts and feelings. Take away the original artist’s thoughts and feelings and you have a new thing entirely.

This isn’t going to stop the mega corporation creating a fake version and spending millions TELLING customers that it’s made with the same thoughts and feelings. The masses will buy the idea the same way the corporation will sell the idea.

just_looken319d ago

I guess everyone forgot metal gear solid rising was tossed to platnium games with a story script and that is it.

Z501319d ago

Kojima was involved in Rising tho

just_looken318d ago

kpjima just did the story everything else was platnium games look it up.

Hence i said script

neutralgamer1992319d ago

i think the bigger issue is whether or not Konami is actually interested in fully funding AAA games development. Even this remake is done by a studio not really known in gaming industry. Quality remake/projets vs cheap cash in quick releases. Which way will Konami head. I am a huge MGS fan and i feel like Kojima did long time MGS fans dirty with how made MGS5 and it's story elements

senorfartcushion319d ago

Remakes and remasters provide a gateway through to producing AAA games faster and cheaper.

RaveTears319d ago (Edited 319d ago )

Actually MGS Portable Ops which was technically the first canon MGS game that Kojima wasn’t mainly involved with it. Kojima was only the producer but not the writer and director.

Konami did other MGS spin off that were successful but that because Konami put effort. Just along Konami is not lazy and cash grab, they can a MGS game without Kojima.

i mean sure, but he made it the thing it is today and why people love it so much.

i think its not easy to replicate.

Flawlessmic320d ago

I doubt it could.

Say what you want about the bloke, but his games are uniquely his.

I don't think anyone makes games like kojima does, for better or worse.

Could mgs continue without him, yea maybe, but it would lacking his genius so wouldn't be the same.

Soulsborne320d ago

Well , he already created it. They just have to recreate it? Not like its a new concept or IP. Trash article.

Terry_B320d ago

Yes. It only needs motivated clever people.

Why We Need Metal Gear Rising 2

Demand for a sequel is about to skyrocket, like the good ol' days of 2013!

In case you're living under a suspiciously rock-shaped object, the recent PlayStation Showcase revealed that a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 will be coming, alongside a Master Collection of Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, and 3. While it is a remake of an existing game, there's a great deal of significance to it, considering the last time a game in the series came out was back in 2018 with Metal Gear Survive (and the less said about that, the better). Konami's decision to pull a Konami and feud with series creator Hideo Kojima has long left the fate of Metal Gear uncertain, but this recent announcement has led to all bets being off as to where Metal Gear can go from here.
