Sure the story was dumb and over the top but that's the kind of stuff I enjoy, the crazier the better. A lot of people complained 'hurr durr it's not metul geer salad' but who cares, it doesn't even have Solid in the title and its still fun. Sure the game was a wee bit short and the level design could be a bit bland, but the gameplay and soundtrack were really good imo.

So ya. What did you think of MGR? Personally can't wait for a sequel.

I heavily enjoyed it myself, sure it's not Metal Gear, but damn it was some spicey hack and slash

It's an okay game I guess. It's not a good MG game though.

The story was better than whatever MGS V tried to pass. The combat and music were amazing though, who thinks it's a bad game?

The combat, which is the main focus of it all, is really good.

I don't think Eli liked it that much


I loved it, it took the MGS silliness and became Metal Gear Anime: The Videogame

I don't mean this in a rude way, but I'm bad at phrasing things so it might seem that way
Spoiler
, but this thread seems hypocritical if you compare it to your guy's opinion on mgsv

imo I believe the main focus of V is the gameplay, which it does very well, and it lacks in the story- the one thing I believe it really isn't trying to accomplish.

And ITT your all saying it's okay mgr had a bad story because it was more focused on the fighting.
just a thought

also sorry for any typos or anything like that, I'm on my phone and multitasking.

Because MGR wasn't trying to be a Solid game, it was it's own action focused spinoff, set in the MGS universe years after 4. If it was set in between 2 and 4 like it was originally supposed to be then we'd care a lot more about the story, and see how it fits in but since it's set in the future it doesn't really matter.

No I'm saying the story to Revengeance is good. I enjoyed it. MGS was over the top anyway, this just went to another level. The soundtrack was amazing as well. MGS V was supposed to tell a story, but it failed. MGR didn't.

This as well. It allowed more creative freedom, and it wasn't trying to be a Solid game, yeah.

It was pretty fun, but the story was pretty short. The Boss fights were pretty great too.

I consider it to be my first Metal Gear game, and I loved it. Everything was great imo.

Neither the gameplay nor the story are very good, but I'm not going to lie and say I didn't enjoy the game. It has an irresistible charm to it. The music is pretty "crawling in my skin" so obviously I enjoyed it.

Greater emphasis on stealth mechanics would've been greatly appreciated considering the game, for some reason, absolutely MUST include those sections in it. Controls didn't feel very responsive and probably could've used some work, too. The game is also unbelievably easy.

If it wasn't such a dumb action game I'd probably go analyse it a bit more thematically speaking but I know there's nothing underneath the surface. This game came from the same fucks who created Bayonetta, so. . .

And of course, the memes, Jack.

It was a fun game that had an awesome soundtrack, especially with A Stranger I Remain.  Also, I did find the game a little bit short, like you said.  It could have done better in a lot of ways, but the combat was fun.

I'd say it's worth getting for like 15 dollars because of the gameplay.

News for you. It's not a Solid game. They said that from the get go. The game isn't bad because of what you personally wished was in it. The objectives they set out to do were done by leaps and bounds. They rescued what was otherwise a dead project.

The controls were fine, what? The only thing I disliked was the block/parry mechanic, but the game can be challenging on the hardest of difficulties.

The butthurt is real. And for no reason, considering I said I actually liked the game.

If the game is going to include stealth sections, and it executes them poorly, what do you expect me to say? The stealth sections are shoehorned in. Either take them out or improve them. Personally, I think improving them would provide enough gameplay variation to make it far more interesting.

The controls aren't that great. They're pretty dumb (in the sense that they're easy to use) and the aiming of weapons does not feel responsive in the slightest. And don't get me started on the camera.

I played and beat the game on the hardest difficulty in a day, so I don't really think it was all that difficult...

Did I come off as hostile or the ever popular "butt hurt"? I wasn't, so relax.

You can completely skip the stealth mechanics last I checked, like in the sewers. It was probably shoehorned in at the wish of Kojima who wanted some semblance of MGS in it. Hence why if they go a MGR2, it will be completely gone I hope.

As for the controls, I felt they were fine minus the parrying. Yeah camera was bad at times.

I mean, yeah you did (otherwise I wouldn't have said anything), but if you didn't mean to come off that way then I apologise.

The point is I shouldn't have to skip it. If I play it, and it isn't good, I'm going to say it isn't good.

Just 'cuz you can skip the bad parts of a game doesn't mean they don't exist or aren't relevant, y'know?

I guess my problem with the controls was that the game didn't adequately explain the parrying system (I didn't really understand all that much until I got to the final boss.) But I mean, the fact that I can get that far on the hardest difficulty without understanding the basics...

But yeah at least we agree the camera was bad.

We seem to be hung up on the stealth issues. The only one I can think of again was the box mechanics in the sewers and I'm more than certain Kojima wanted that in so they shoehorned it in (meaning it took away from the entire point of the game).

And no Verb I didn't say that >:I

It's just a stupidly fun game with amazing quotes. I got more enjoyment out of it than I did MGS V I think. Both during the game and the lasting effects. MGS V left me with a "phantom pain" heueue...

Yeah I got way more out of MGR than MGSV. I still listen to the MGR soundtrack on my phone heh.
