waaaaaaoooooow how was i supposed to know???

MGR is great, but DMCV is better.

>>714922008 (OP)
True lowk

>>714922150
You know, looking back, MGR has more of Metal Gear's conceptual soul in it than a majority of things Kojima made for the franchise.
It's more Metal Gear than Metal Gear.

Juggling sandbags is not hype

Who?

>>714922721
Yeah, like fucking Raiden in the ass.

>>714922721
The writers did their homework. Its wonderful.

>>714922008 (OP)
Metal Gear Rising is one of those games that while I enjoyed I came to legit hate it due to its extremely obnoxious fanbase.
I'm not touching Ninja Gaiden 4 because it will be the return of such obnoxiousness.

>There will never be another antagonist that shows up out of nowhere at the last minute to steal the show like Armstrong.

>>714922008 (OP)

Armstrong is easily the worst boss in the game

>Armor up his ass

>You can only proceed after the scripted moment

I remember Armstrong just didn't want to QTE punch and I spent 30 minutes dodging and hitting him. It just breaks the immersion

>>714922150
You know that MGR is a retelling of MGS2, right? And that includes the Wacky conspiracies

>>714925912
i wish this game was actually fun to play

>>714925404
I dunno what you're referring to.
>>714925479
Honestly if the game was longer, it'd probably unironically be my favorite game in the franchise. It's just too short though. Gameplay's kinda shallow too.

>Are you still talking about Metal Gear Rising? This games been talked about for years. Are people still talking about this game? This meme game? That is unbelievable. I can't believe you're posting a thread on Metal Gear Rising at a time like this, when we're having some of the greatest gaming, and also tragedy with Death Stranding 2. It just seems like a desecration.

Ninja Gaiden 4 is basically going to be a spiritual sequel, at least gameplay wise

>>714922008 (OP)
Music. Make a bitchin' soundtrack and sculpt a game around it. That's not exactly what happened here, but all of the memes are built around song lyrics from the game. (Also, worked for Undertale, arguably for Final Fantasy too.)

According to /v/, games are only good if they're talked about. In that case, MGR must be the greatest game of all time to have multiple resurgences over a decade later.

>>714926069
Sometimes the difficulty of a final boss is a formality and the narrative catharsis is the point.

>>somehow succeeds in its messaging to gamers more than any other "political" game
>Unprecedented amounts of "The final boss had some valid points", ignoring most non-mustache-twirling-capitalist written antags generally have some valid points before espousing the virtues of genocide
Surely not. I think MGS2 still wins out given the number of video essays that still get produced going "XYZ years later, MGS2 was right about community bubbles and content slop"

>>714932126
MGR is the center of the gaming universe.

>>714922446
It's not about gameplay. It's about the feeling. A game can play shitty but still be a captivating narrative experience. DMC never reached those MGS highs. The comparison to MGR is just accidental to the gameplay, which is entirely irrelevant to the plot.
MGSV is a really fun game, but fails in that regard, while MGS4 somehow succeeds while being a pain in the ass and a lot of NANOMACHINES since it still is about ideas. MGSV has some ideas too but you can notice that the ideas are all jumbled and confused since Konami was messing with Kojima. Say about DS1 what you want but it still has that vibe. Is it his best game? No. Did he make the best games by himself? No, he is not the sole creator of the initial "Kojima" feeling. But he expanded on it decently.
MGR just did it better when it comes to a cool video game relevant to its time (the 2010s). MGS4 happened at the tail end and MGSV wasn't really part of any conversation. MGS2 set that tone perfectly and is probably the game of the 2000s for that. MGS3 was narratively a direct sequel to MGS2 as a prequel and continues its plot even though it's setting SEEMS less relevant and somehow independent from MGS2.

It is

>I dunno what you're referring to.
referring to Raiden getting JUSTED in every single game he's in irrevocably, he never gets a good ending. He exists to get shat on.

surpassed by zeroranger but you actually have to be decent because the hype moments are done via the gameplay not QTEs
