I really enjoyed Metal Gear Rising for the most part. Of course it's not your typical Metal Gear game but Platinum games did a pretty decent job on this game imo.
Only played the demo, but they did a great job I think. Sort of took MGS4 humor and just ran with that instead of making it all serious and they nailed it.
I still want to play an MGS game as Kojima... it's his universe so he'd be like... God in it.
I completely agree. I'm not even a huge fan of action games outside of gow but I had a great time playing rising.. Really makes you feel like a bad ass and it does a great job fleshing out raidens charicter.
They need a spin-off with Akiba that takes place after MGS4 and make it a stealth game. Have it us the MGS4 engine or something close to that and keep the stress meter as well as the enemy AI being able to smell you. Have the stress play a bigger part in this game and while in stealth if you're stress gets too high (which it will randomly and you'll have things you can do or use to calm yourself down a bit) then you'll crap yourself which could alert the guards. Then they could add a few hacking bits where you have to hack a door or trap.
