A pretty good week for new releases this week with something for everyone on almost all platforms. As always this is not an exhaustive list and release dates may change at short notice.
Raiden was introduced in Metal Gear Solid 2 to the ire of some fans. In this opinion article, we argue that the character didn't deserve the backlash that was received upon release.
He just wasn't interesting sadly and to have Snake in the game, even playing him for a bit then give us the old switcharoo was just bad.
Put it this way, he was so bland they had to make him a cool cyborg ninja in the 4th game.
Maybe. But his dialogue and voice acting didn't do him any good. No offense to the voice actor, he was much better in mgs4, so it's not his fault. Raiden was extremely whiny and just not interesting.
I didn't mind Raiden, in part 2. I never cared for rising but it was way more action heavy and at the time its not what I was looking for in a mgs game. I would retry it though these days
I enjoyed doing cartwheels while holding my balls on a giant warship, haha! Definitely a great character. I also enjoyed his spinoff game, it was short and simple but they did a good job putting it together.
With E3 starting next week, 2K Games revealed the biggest E3 line up they have for the year
Only game iam waiting for is for mafia 2 nothing else intrest me well only Metal gear solid peace walkers but ill get that soon
nice. waiting to see what mafia 2 and spec ops the line has too offer. not into rts games, so civ 5 not for me, and not too familiar with x-com series.
Though similar in name, the protagonist of Metal Gear Solid Delta, Naked Snake, is different from the more iconic character of the series Solid Snake.
They looked the same, acted the same, and we're both voiced by David Hayter. During the classic period of MGS, there was no difference (someone correct me but I don't recall if in Snake Eater NS was already determined to create his private militia?)
Side note - still a fantastic series of games with a plot so bonkers but still somehow works.
They are different people for one. Naked snake becomes big boss of the original metal gear games. Solid and liquid are his clones.
so where is Shin Megami Tensei IV?
Shin Megami Tensei IV releases on July 16th. This list is for July 8th - July 15th.
Metal Gear Solid legacy collection for me!
