Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Review | That Other Metal Gear Raiden Game

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is the second metal gear game to feature Raiden as a playable character but it represents many firsts for the series. It’s the first game not to be developed by Kojima Productions or directed by Hideo. It’s the first to truly focus on action and it’s the first spinoff, having nothing to do with Snake and little to do with the series storyline.
It was a huge gamble that almost didn’t pay off and it was even cancelled at one point. So, bearing all this in mind, what’s Metal Gear Rising Revengeance like to play in 2021 and what are your best options for doing so? In this review/retrospective, I’ll cover its troubled development, its design, the DLC and if it’s still worth your time.

Out of all the crap that got remasters and remakes, this game deserves it more than most

[@goukigod]

I think we would probably have got one had Konami not abandoned AAA game development and not fallen out with Kojima.

[@supersaiyanbro]

@@goukigod very true

[@mrunknown138]

Welll good news it is, Q2 of 2022 it will come

Love this game...really lets you live the ninja fantasy

[@goukigod]

Maybe they should have called it Ninja Gaiden Solid

[@perseastheodoropoulos7367]

yes this game is incredible 9/10 imo

[@goukigod]

I don't really do numbered reviews but in this case I feel like it's a solid 8/10 for me.

The difference in Cut scene quality between the 360 and PS3 versions, that was down to the DVD vs BluRay...

[@goukigod]

Correct. Xbox was simply limited to space

[@jimmy-rm3cl]

yeah but unlike playstation you can still play 360 version on current gen

[@loco_logic]

Really excellent review. You even summed up the game's troubled development in a thoroughly informative yet succinct manner. Will definitely check out your other videos!

[@goukigod]

Much appreciated. I can't take all the credit though, you couldn't make up a better origins story.

[@JackKahunaLagunaFGC]

Really well done man! New to the franchise and wanted a general overview of the game, and was pleasantly happy with this video. Respectful, well written/spoken, and to the point, I can't really ask for more as a viewer watching an informative video. This has convinced me to give Revengeance a try!

[@goukigod]

It's a pretty good starting point to a reasonably inaccessible series. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@lamtrinh8480]

Really well done and in depth review I hope your channel will grow bigger

[@goukigod]

Thanks. You and me both!

[@goukigod]

Thanks to @shirrako for the PC gameplay which was actually captured at 4K. I should also mention that the PS3 gameplay in this video was captured via component cables at 1080p. This is why it looks a little softer compared to the 360 comparison footage which was captured via HDMI.

[@marbl3d45]

This is a well done video fam

[@goukigod]

Gracias

[@thegreatgonzales6813]

Excellent video! Earned yourself a new subscriber!

[@goukigod]

Awesome, thank you!

[@LeonIsLate]

this was a very entertaining video to watch

[@goukigod]

Well, thank you. It was a very interesting game to research!

[@justadude199]

I remember getting gifted this game quite a while ago when I still had my 360.

[@Clarke73lol]

I’m probably no going to download and try this game but this wee an excellent review that I watched all the way to the end, would love to see more videos like this. subscribed😊

Hey I was wondering I have not played any other metal gear game can I understand the story without playing the others?

[@goukigod]

You don't need to have played any of the others

[@Rossbrian1]

This was on games for gold on xbox one years ago it was free i got it and just played it today its amazing!!!

[@shadowmomochiuchiha6839]

I wish there was a DLC where you could play as Armstrong, he is my favorite character lol.

[@goukigod]

That would be insane!

[@shadowmomochiuchiha6839]

@@goukigod It would be. He is the reason I played the game lol.

[@yadimbi4]

Idk about you but u prefer keyboard instead of controller (idk why but when I use controller animations fps become 25 fps)

[@montgomeryfitzpatrick473]

It's $7.99 for the next 40 hours on steam

[@cl11stry88]

Is there a way to play MGR in ps4?

[@goukigod]

yes. It's available via playstation now

[@monkeyheist]

@@goukigod As Reggie Fils Aime himself once said, “Not anymore!” They took it off PS Now for some reason.

[@nbhage2178]

A sequel, remaster or remake

[@goukigod]

I'll take any of those!

[@vicentegeonix]

There is something i don't understand... you have over 10,000 subs but you get less than 300 views? how is that even possible?

[@goukigod]

Mate, if I understood why I’d sleep so much better at night.

[@crystalalumina]

I know someone with 300 followers that only gets around 100 views, there's people that subscribe for one video but don't bother watching the new ones, it's weird.

[@miguelquirino8166]

I will like and watch them all

[@Dzaen2]

If you hate the cutscenes and codec conversations then perhaps you are burned out.

[@goukigod]

True.

[@thesoldiertf2774]

I’ve had this game for like 3 months on my current steam account and have about 500 hours

[@552jacki3]

No no no it's not revenge or vengeance. It's revenge with a vengeance.

[@goukigod]

exactly, revengeance... 😂

[@tigrankhachaturian8983]

Best way to play it is on the steam deck imho

[@miguelquirino8166]

Fuck I thought I had enough but I had 4 dollars 27 cents

7/10 for gameplay 12/10 for Ost and 20/10 for memes

[@goukigod]

That's pretty accurate

[@joaquinmuniz3055]

I'd really give it 9/10 gameplay I'm only gripe is stealth is almost non existent

[@SarcasticJedi42]

I feel like the bosses are ruined by having extra enemies spawn while fighting. Makes it less of dual and more of a annoyance.

[@goukigod]

I'm not a huge fan of that approach either. I feel like it's a bandaid solution for bosses that aren't interesting or challenging enough.

[@BrandonAB]

It had some clunky design throughout the levels. Gameplay was great, however.

[@L-RIG_V]

Too bad for pc its region locked for asian countries and most of europe. Till this day it’s still locked even though konami say that they were “looking into it” back at 2014 Btw ur video is awesome dude, keep it up

[@goukigod]

Damn, I didn't know that. Very strange because it's available here in Australia and normally what we get is very similar to asia/europe. Thanks, I appreciate that!

[@L-RIG_V]

@@goukigod yeah, and looking at the state of konami now I’ll doubt they are going to remove the lock anytime soon.

[@Leon_S._Kennedy]

I bought it for 20$

[@recruit7416]

for pc? if you did,did you have problems launching the game? my game opens up a window then closes it,i dont know what to do
