Metal Gear Solid - Tactical Megathread Action - Games

Mannn just played MGS Rising demo and oh my God it's SO MUCH FUN Gosh darn I didn't think about getting this, but the demo seriously changed my mind. I just did a playthrough where I just cut people's head cap off :v: was pretty weird.

MGS Revengeance demo was really neat. The graphics is nice and from what I noticed it runs 60 FPS, which is great.

So, apparently the final boss is [sp]Senator Armstrong, Presidential candidate, and he'll probably be piloting Metal Gear: http://filesmelt.com/dl/Untitled-2172.jpg [/sp] [sp]Also his theme song is practically Metal Gear Murrica: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb3lnysEYHI [/sp] Also, i was always planning on buying this game, but the demo makes me want it more. Gonna Pre-Order dat shit and get myself some gray fox.

How do you parry in the MGR demo? When I got to that IF Prototype, I hit a wall. Could not damage the thing no matter what. Maybe if I finished the demo past that, I would have my mind opened back up a little to the game. Not sure if there is much left after that part, but everything before wasn't quite enough of a taste for me personally.

[QUOTE=jackattack;39331486]Yay, demo on 50%, based on how far it's gotten i'd say it may be done by tomorrow night.[/QUOTE] The demo has been downloading from the point nonstop for the last 12 hours, 72%. fml.

It seems to only activate when an enemy is about to hit you.

[QUOTE=Mr. N;39333308]Just finished the MGS series. That ending.[/QUOTE] This is easily the best song in the whole MGS universe. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhRw3nE67aw[/media] Manly tears were shed during the [sp]final battle with Liquid[/sp] And massive adrenaline was induced during the [sp]fight with volgin and shaggohod[/sp] in Snake Eater.

I probably played the revengeance demo like, 10 times. I guess it's kinda needless to say I liked it. I liked it a lot. Most of that was in the tutorial area just cutting things. So hooray for fun mechanics.

Jesus christ, that was... So. Much. FUN. Did anyone else replay it a bunch of times just to cut people up differently? You've done it again Kojima, reinventing a popular franchise yet still making it fun as hell. Hideo's a cool guy, he's the kind of guy i'd ask to help me move furniture.

Didn't they get rid of the storyline where it shows how Raiden rescued Sunny from the Patriots?

[QUOTE=Tall Russian;39340639]Didn't they get rid of the storyline where it shows how Raiden rescued Sunny from the Patriots?[/QUOTE] Yeah, they decided to make it after MGS 4, which is honestly think was a really bad move in just about every way, 4 was pretty much the perfect ending.

Just tried the demo for MGR and it seems cool, though I don't really think it is my kind of game. I had fun, though I was absolutely awful with parrying and couldn't beat that robot. Never was a fan of button mash or hack and slash or whatever those games are called. Might get it some day if the price is low. I am personally more hyped for Ground Zeroes.

MGR would be a million times better if they just added a dodge move.

[QUOTE=Hakita;39341350]MGR would be a million times better if they just added a dodge move.[/QUOTE] Yes, I wish they did that. I can't parry for the life of me

On the boss fight.. died 3 times was about to come post about how the hell does the parry thing work... i'm late.

Bigger enemies glow when they are about to attack you, you need to do the parry command during that.

[QUOTE=Da_Maniac_;39341530]Bigger enemies glow when they are about to attack you, you need to do the parry command during that.[/QUOTE] I think it would be better if parry was something other than square and left stick since you are using those to fight and move

after being so used to the DMC3 moveset, MGR fucks with my head

[QUOTE=elowin;39340673]Hideo isn't making Rising though. [/QUOTE] I thought it was still his idea though?

[QUOTE=Hakita;39341350]MGR would be a million times better if they just added a dodge move.[/QUOTE] There is a dodge, A + X on the Xbox. It comes in handy when BladeWolf does that spin attack with his chainsaw.

There is? I never got that prompt on the PS3. That boss kicked my ass 3 times. I can't parry for shit.

[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;39342562]There is a dodge, A + X on the Xbox. It comes in handy when BladeWolf does that spin attack with his chainsaw.[/QUOTE] Thats like the worst button combination for a dodge ever.

[QUOTE=jackattack;39341814]I thought it was still his idea though?[/QUOTE] Well according to Hideo he's tried to distance himself with it as much as possible and give them completely free reign.

[QUOTE=H4wkeye;39342639]There is? I never got that prompt on the PS3. That boss kicked my ass 3 times. I can't parry for shit.[/QUOTE] It doesnt prompt you, its a little secret. [editline]24th January 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Hakita;39342657]Thats like the worst button combination for a dodge ever.[/QUOTE] You get used to it.

Is there any way to change the damn parry? Using L3 is the worst idea ever, you use that to fucking move, I constantly attack instead of properly parry.

Rising demo is pretty good imo, played demo numerous times. The timing required on parries is good. The only thing I had a gripe with is that his jump seems kinda crappy but with that cutscene about the upgrade stuff I'm hoping there's a jump upgrade of some sorts because I feel like his jump is pretty weak.

Beat Bladewolf. Anyway, it is actually really fun, I just hope Kojima is there to make sure they don't fuck up the story/feel too much.

[QUOTE=Mr. N;39344133]Beat Bladewolf. Anyway, it is actually really fun, I just hope Kojima is there to make sure they don't fuck up the story/feel too much.[/QUOTE] Kojima is pretty detached from MGR. Kojima productions team were involved somewhat but don't expect anything amazing.

Came into thread, listened to MGS4 saga soundtrack for first time in a few weeks......left thread with manly tears being shed!

[QUOTE=Hakita;39341350]MGR would be a million times better if they just added a dodge move.[/QUOTE] There is a dodge move, they just dont tell you how to do it. Press Square + X and move the joystick in a direction. Or X and A if you're on Xbox.
