Opinion is divided on this one for sure! Is motion blur good for gaming? Why do developers include it?
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.
GTA Vice City was never meant to be a standalone game, instead it was originally planned to be a mission pack for GTA 3
I've lost count at how many times I've played VC over the years it's a masterpiece that is still within most people's top 5 GTA games.
I wouldn't be shocked if it was actually intended as a expansion pack given the tight timeline 12 months from the launch of GTA 3 and the fact that VC clearly recycled many assets and the second half of the game was rather unstructured
buy businesses do 3 missions accumulate money but more until you have all of them some assets didn't even have missions like pole position.
however I'm glad it became its own thing it became bigger than 3 every would have been and lead to a 80s revitalisation that occurred around the early 200s

I hate any game that has motion blur and the first thing I do is switch off the motion blur in games. It just makes me nauseous.
motion blur makes me sick... so its off.
I agree with Alex here, many implementations are terrible but when it is done right it improves the experience.
I always turn it off. Along with depth of field.
