Zero Punctuation: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

[Hyakunin Isshu]

Is it me, or is Ben Croshaw just going crazy? is he losing touch with reality?

funny as always but yahtzee just doesn`t get action games nor the action genre as a concept... The moment kojima announced that the game was going to be developed by Platinum we all "got it"... I`m a long time fan of MG but I`m a long time fan of action games too... expecting stealth on this is also very... retarded, even though the game manages to implement stealth on a very fashionable way ... This game is insane, great character design, cool soundtrack (even though I would have preferred no vocals) and the gameplay is sublime...expecting a good script on an action game/movie is retarded...is like going to mcdonalds for a veggie soup...
Voice acting, I don`t know, I`ve played the jap version and it`s miles better than it`s english counterpart...also, white blood... on an aesthetic point of view is way better than red...and it`s also more "credible" since they are cyborgs (MGS 4 raiden blood) sam has red blood though... anyway, yahtzee should stop making reviews of genres he can`t play... it`s easy to point bad aspects of a game when you don`t know what you are talking about.
cheers

I agree with part of Yahtzee's last statement. The Metal Gear series can't start laughing at itself now.

It can't start laughing at itself now, because it's been laughing at itself for years.

Case in point: MGS3. Not that I'm suggesting that it only started pointing at itself around that time, but it's just the easiest one for me to find examples in. To stay on the subject of Raiden, how about the many, many jokes at his expense involving the the easter-egg opening with the Raikov mask, Raikov himself, and the Snake Eraser video? Outside of that, we have SigInt seriously questioning Snake's fetishistic fascination with the cardboard box, a man whose super-power is being covered in bees, the theme music blaring over a particularly long ladder-climbing sequence...

AMEN to that
