You’re just upset because I dared to be critical of something you and the bandwagon enjoy.
“my opinion is unpopular, therefore i must be right” will never not be hilarious to me. but hey, go ahead and enjoy the metal gear games. i heard they are a bit underground, but that seems to suit your style
It’s not what we should have gotten in terms of Metal Gear story. In terms of a solid game with good gameplay and a decent story, it’s fantastic. Not every game needs to be open world, require 200 hours, or be live service.

Right. And all of the MGS games that don’t have these are better than rising.
It’s not fantastic. It’s mediocre and lazy. The swordplay is neutered because doing what they had in the tech demo was ‘too hard’ for obsidian. The story is forgettable, along with pretty much everything else about the game.
The MGS games are classics. Rising just rode their coattails and had memers at the helm.
Being critical usually comes with reasons and not “it’s shit and everyone who likes it is dumb.” You’re not actually being critical. You’re just hating.
I tried it but I couldn’t get over the fact that there is no dedicated parry/block button. Also the game looks horribly dated with muddy textures and environments.
It doesn’t have the soul of a Metal Gear game. Its quite literally Bayonetta with a Metal Gear reskin. Metal Gears gameplay is mostly about player freedom. You have to get from point A to B and how you do it is up to you. Rising takes all of that away, just hack and slash to kill everybody. Its still fun, but definitely not a Metal Gear players cup of tea.
I had the same realization about 40K Space Marine (the old one). When it originally cane out I loved it, but I replayed it a few months ago and realized that its kind of bad. Its just corridor, arena, corridor, arena, corridor,… There’s not really anything to it, not even the story. Why is it so highly praised? Because back when we first played it we thought it was cool and nostalgia is a powerful thing.
I only played Rising recently precisely because back when it came out it deviated so much from the first Trailers. I wanted Metal Gear Solid 4 but with Raiden, but what we got was Metal Gear Devil May Cry.
My opinion, is fact, the truth and if you disagree you’re wrong and delusional <=== {You are here}
That’s (very fucking) bad!
How would you feel if I said: Linux is stupid because windows is mainstream and therefore better?" Oh by the way, I’m allowed to be right because you’re automatically wrong.

Nah. Nanomachines, son.
sorry but everything you wrote honestly sounds like “this game is not for me, therefore its bad”
Oh, you should look at their post history.
Not really.
Fact.
Fact.
Opinion, but this is what people are agreeing with me on so…
Fact.

Keep finding ways to justify your enjoyment of a mediocre product.
As long as you’re part of the bandwagon, you’re in company.
Ohh dont worry, ill recite the lords prayer five times to repent for having fun with a trash game

This post is overrated, you Philistine.
I’m the exact opposite of a philistine, which is why I’m not afraid to be critical of garbage like this.
It was overhyped and underdelivered. Unfortunately, the snowball effect has taken hold so those who cannot think for themselves will never realize it.
I think you fall into the latter part in this case.
Not really. You’re just upset because I dared to be critical of something you and the bandwagon like.
I rest my case.
Being critical usually comes with reasons and not “it’s shit and everyone who likes it is dumb.” You’re not actually being critical. You’re just hating.
I have provided reasons, although I also don’t need to.
I’m guessing you wouldn’t be this upset if I said Metal Gear Rising is good without providing reasons?
Nah, that game was fantastic.
I tried it but I couldn’t get over the fact that there is no dedicated parry/block button. Also the game looks horribly dated with muddy textures and environments.
