**robvandam111** · 01-15-2013

First Day buy for me.

**Cyklops** · 01-15-2013

So I guess we'll be playing as a dual-personality Raiden in this game. 'Jack the Ripper' and Raiden.

Yup I certainly plan on picking this one up. Been looking forward to it since it was first announced. Can't wait for the demo to be available.

looks good, but just like a few others

I will try the demo before actually buying this game..It's far away from the game we all love, try first maybe buy later

My god, that was some horrible voice acting.

I'm still interested though, platinum know how to make action games. I just hope it wasn't rushed.

**Nitey** · 01-15-2013

Combat looks amazing as expected, since it's Platinum at work here.

I agree though, the voice acting was cringe-worthy lol

**KungMartin90** · 01-15-2013

I like how cars are driving past him in the driving scene. Who woulda known Raiden is a slow granny driver, lol.

**darksora** · 01-16-2013

just saw this on GT

This one trailer has just spoiled the potential that I saw in it from past trailers.

The voice acting is bad, the cut scenes are bad, not a fan of the ripper personality to be honest. The trailers showcasing normal raiden was better, this just ruined any anticipation I had

**podsaurus** · 01-16-2013

I was expecting a smoother voice nut I'll try the demo and see how it is.

**Bio** · 01-17-2013

Not sure why they bothered with a split personality thing. I was liking the footage up until now.

Quite annoying, but no big deal in the larger scheme of things. I'm still interested.

**Forcedme** · 01-17-2013

The more I see of this game, the less I'm interested in it. I don't know why.

Looks kind of flat, graphically.

Also, can't quite get my head around sword doesn't cut through things until a certain mode is activated. Then, it cuts through everything. I get it's a game mechanic, just kinda silly.

Still, at the right price; I'll probably take the plunge (sub £15) further down the road.

Wow everything looks great about this game.

I feel the same. In MGS4 his blade kills all, in Rising he can cut something a dozen times and it doesn't die...till he activates a mode...

**Blacksite** · 01-17-2013

I think the game would be too easy if you were to cut through anything with ease.

This is a general problem in game design though.

Agreed. He could just cut the planet in half, or into tiny pieces, including his sheath. Where does end? Pets heads falling off?

**$Greatness$** · 01-19-2013

I'm trying so hard to take this game seriously. Feels to me like a Capcom style "fresh up" with DMC. And Kojima makes me feel the same way since he isn't putting his full backing behind the game. I'd wind up grabbing, though, because it has MGS on the label. I support Kojima's work directly and in this case indirectly. I'll probably wait till its bargain bin price though.

"Threatening a peace officer; deadly force is authorized." *everyone replaces guns with electric batons*

Because fuck logic! Anyways, I really hate how silly and absurd the game has quickly become when the original videos of it made it seem much more mature and serious. Plus the fact that you can't just willy-nilly cut things like it originally seemed like it. The whole thing looks like a joke now, and I spit on it.

**Blacksite** · 01-22-2013

The demo is supposed to come out today. I'll give it a try.

**robvandam111** · 01-22-2013

Just went on the market and it is still going under maintaince.

**Blacksite** · 01-23-2013

So, I tried the demo out on Normal difficulty. It looks great and the framerate is pretty smooth but I'm just not feeling the combat. They make the parrying look easy but half the time I had trouble getting it to work. I couldn't make it past Bladewolf (LQ-84i). I'm sure you guys did better. =/

You're suppose to block his attacks and you can run around to avoid him. I'm currently having a hard time...can't find the block button.
