Why they don't have a sense of the real-world time it took them to play through it is beyond me. Most of the more positive reviews note the actual time it took them (around 7-9 hours).
So far, reviews are saying this game is worse than DmC.

Hence, why I stopped caring about reviews in the first place.

Wow really? Better than DmC? I wonder why, OH BECAUSE THEY WERE PAID OFF!

Don't listen to the "Not better than DmC"

Inaba also commented on the game's length.

http://www.metalgearsolidtv.com/2013...-platinum.html

"For every chapter you play in the game, it ONLY COUNTS YOUR FASTEST TIME It doesn't track your total play time."

"We came up with this clear time counting system as a way to fairly evaluate players. It hasn't changed since Bayonetta."

"However, I will say it is really disappointing that people try to use a single screen in the game to try and create negative buzz."

I think this image will be used a lot

Gamespot's review is pretty decent, additional points for using Monsoon's theme almost throughout the entire video

Heads up, some DmC fanboys are already trying to drag MGR down.

^Not surprised. The Capcom fanbase is comprised of some of the biggest idiots. It's no wonder that Americans are perceived negatively around the world.

I thought that Capcom started losing most of its fans during 2012. Even some DMC players considered Metal Gear Rising more promising than DmC. I mean Capcom used to be my favorite company as most of my games were from that company.

I don't get it man. I guess anything to make you feel big is the mindset these guys have. (Worded poorly, I know ) There are very few ppl or sources that I trust for reviews those being Adam Sessler, sometimes Eurogamer, user (fan) reviews from Metacritic, and ppl that just know what they're talking about. So what if DmC has good reviews? Truth be told we all kinda saw it coming with the hard on the press has for Ninja Theory. That post was blatant baiting.

Final Metal Gear Rising trailer by Hideo Kojima. This reminds me to the Zone of the Enders videos that showed almost all of the game. Carerful the ones who don't want SPOILERS.


Also I wonder if Inaba will respond to the reviews' claims that the game is short just like he did with twitter.

Game Revolution scores:

Aliens: Colonial Marines : 3 out of 5
Metal Gear Rising: Revengence : 2 out of 5

So this game is a bigger letdown than more critically panned Aliens: Colonial Marines....

Only if you take a single review at face value (mistake #1), while ignoring all the positive reviews (mistake #2), especially when you trust a site with no credibility as they rated Aliens at 3/5, when that piece of junk is more like 1/5.

Of all the reviews you choose to make this judgement, you pick them?

Just shit-for-giggles though. I just surprised how can GR rated this game lower than Aliens: Colonial Marines which is an obvious bigger letdown.

A above average game as the ratings and reviews has it and I think reviewers here are not paid.

Really the only review that matters is if you feel it was worth the money you paid for it.

But at the same time you can't blame them. You had people doing the same thing with DmC, in light of the reviews. Many were proclaiming MGR like it's the best thing since slice bread and shoving it down people's throat as a result. This is without playing the whole game entirely.

Now that the game is out and the tables have turned, what do you expect to happen? A game should not be exempt from criticism just because of the studio behind it. Platinum games isn't infallible. I too hate what happened with DmC, but that shouldn't make me gloss over MGR's mistakes.

And while the fanbase might be idiots, they are supportive of the games they do like/have interest in (see fgc).

You can't mention people knowing what they're talking about and then state this oxymoron beforehand. Even though they suck, I'd trust game informer more than that cesspool of emotions known as the metacritic user reviews. They're just as bad, if not worse than metacritic itself.

So what if DmC has good reviews? So what if any game has good reviews? As long as you're happy, that's the only review that counts.

Edge reviews would be more valid in trying to prove your point, even though I disagree with them from time to time.

MGR- 7/10
DmC- 8/10
Bayonetta- 10/10

Well as seen in MGR, there are no bugs, like DmC and pretty much both are compared because it's P* games and we all know who works there now.

The only problem Iam having with this game is the camera shifting.
