Metal Gear Franchise Coming to 360

[Nifty]

Don't indulge the fan boy. You'll only make him stronger...

Also, is anyone actually surprised about this news? I always knew this would happen right about the time 'they' said it wouldn't.

Having never actually played more than twenty minutes in an MGS game, could someone tell mewhy I should hate/not hate Raiden?

They didn't really. Most of the fanboys I've seen on the XB360 wanted a port of MGS4, not this.

As long as Xbox doesn't get to have Solid Snake I'll be happy, I never liked Raiden in MGS2 anyway.

Sony and MS should join up and make a mega console. Sony has the hardware, MS has the software.

Raiden sucks cause he spends the entire of MGS2 in emo mode.

Also its cause that the cover of MGS2 shows of Solid Snake and the main character of the game is Raiden. Many fans hated that they did not get to play the entire game as Solid Snake.

This is just typical of Hideo Kojima. Shake things up a bit. I think it's great that 360 users are finally getting the Metal Gear franchise. I have a PS3 and will admit I'm curious as to whether it's coming to this platform aswell. If not, fuck it, guess I'll get an XBOX, about time anyway, just need to save a few weeks wages. Remember the franchise changed platforms for Metal Gear Solid back in the day.

There is only one qualm though. If indeed it is a 360 exclusive bear in mind that there is a HELL of a story to catch up on, for ALL of the characters.

Now why can't the other SONY fanboys/girls be like you? The part I put in bold that is. You don't care if it's an exclusive. Though you might be getting an Xbox 360 for that game, you still didn't complain about it.

Eh... I feel compelled to respond as I'm not afraid to admit Raiden is one of my favourite video game characters.

As I said in another thread recently, Raiden was introduced as the whiny innocent character who asks all the questions that Snake wouldn't, for newcomers to the series. Also his hesitant demeanour emphasised how much of a badass Snake is (and Snake emphasised how much of a badass Big Boss is, etc.). Raiden was subsequently mutilated and warped for MGS4 to satiate the fans and I gotta say they did a great job.

Go on admit it... his entrance in that game was pretty epic, no?

Okay, but was he as emo in MGS4? Or did he get more normal?

 

[GonzoGamer]

I'm going to leave the internet for a few weeks while the PS3 fanboys stop whining, and the X360 fans stop gloating, bye all.

I haven't seen too many ps3 fanboys whining but there are a ton of xbots gloating.
I'm I wrong for reading into that?

He was a badass ************ in MGS4...still...didn't change the fact that I got ripped off when I bought MGS2.

*snip*

But I didn't want to play Raiden!

 

[LadyZephyr]

Anyone who's been following Kojima's flash site should have the inkling that it's not starring Raiden at all.

Welcome to the MGS2 Trolling v.2.0.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Hmm I think with Mass Effect 2 out this year I'll have plenty of cutscenes to watch, which negates any need I have for a game with 60 to 70% of its playtime spent watching it...

Thanks. Complaining isn't really my thing. If fanboys/girls could pull their heads out of [insert respective company here]'s asses they'd realised there's a whole world of gaming out there that in the end they're just cutting themselves off from.

Wow, burn...

Not even in the ninja suit? Imagine the possibilities...

Not even that.

MGS has been been on the Xbox for a while now. Only MGS4 was exclusive. No big deal.

And this is a spinoff starring the worst character in the entire series.

It's starring Emma?

Raiden was fine.

So is it some weird homophobia that causes people to dislike raiden (because of his feminine looks) or what?

I never got the whole "RAGE ON THE RAIDEN" phenomenon.
