It takes about as long to finish as it took to read your post.

True it's a short game, but i dont care

Haven't played it, but i am curious why Raiden is active after Guns of the patriots, when he was done, he had his family. Raiden's story arc was over. Of course that stems from that revengance was originally be set before MGS4, but still.

That said, even if it is a extreme off set from the mood, theme and story of the MG world, suddenly Raiden can now throw a Metal Gear as if it was a maple leaf in the wind, and block an attack from an metal gear without breaking any sweat.

But that said, beside the asinine story, retconning and over the top anime-esque action. It do look like a fun little game to keep people a little occupied 'til MGS5 comes out

Nailed it. I've played this game through once and thanked my stars it was just a rental and not a purchase.

Premise is diluted and adds no substantial lore to the Metal Gear story, Raiden is ridiculous in this game and the A.I. is sub par at best. They should have stuck with the Stealth Action gameplay and begged Kojima to create a better story. Could've been great.

I was thinking about picking it up, but I don't know. Is the game even canon? I don't like dumb side-stories about a character barely anyone cared about, either.

Raiden is a cool character with a lot of growth potential. Yet they stunt it with games like these.

I'd like to say its not cannon. Raiden is throwing Mini-Rays around like tin cans and most of the boss fights left me saying "Well that was dumb..."

Don't buy it. Rent it first and see if its the type of hack 'n' Slash you'd play more than once.

I disagree that Raiden have growth potential, his arc was over in MGS2 which I was glad for, and it was (apparently not) truly closed in MGS4.

Even if he was the Cyber Ninja in MGS4 I still heard Raiden's whining in the back of my head from MGS2. His final fight with Vamp was insanely awesome, but he is no Frank Jeager, not even Schneider.

All of you seriously play games for the wrong reasons, holy sh*t.

I play games for the reasons I make myself, BRO.

What did you think of it, Cure? Did you play it?

*Candy Kappa* · 04-01-2013, 05:26 PM

consistency and keeping canon is wrong?

It's a video-game meant to be fun and crazy. Who cares?

That's what I'm hearing. I'm okay with playing it for the gameplay as long as I have fun with it. I just couldn't stand Raiden in MGS2 so that is keeping me back a bit. I'll consider it.
