METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE (Zero Punctuation)

Revengeance is actually a real word that means exactly what it sounds like, it's just not commonly used. It was added to the Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary in 1913. True story.

The final boss is a lot more threatening when he steps out of the tank, then even more threatening when he takes his shirt off. Are we sure this isn't actually a Yakuza game?

[@BFedie518]

The parry mechanic is simple yet challenging. The only difficult part is figuring out which attacks hit you because they're unparryable and which ones hit you because you suck at parrying. Also, the end of the boss fight against the lady with multiple robot arms is surreal. I sliced her into about 18 million pieces, then that pile of pieces somehow talked sadly on the radio for five minutes to her partner. Her conversation would have been touching if i could have stopped laughing.

[@gokushivum]

You can parry red, you run from yellow, simple as that

[@Leffrey]

Now, this isn't official, but my theory is that almost all cybernetics have a funtion that if the person is mortally wounded, it does everything in it's power to protect the brain In the opening cutscene we see a soldier get cut down in first person and a quick thing shows some brain related mechanism being activated, so presumably either their conciousness is uploaded to a server or their brain lives for a few minutes until it's rescued or something. This also why Sam doesn't get that final radio message, because he has no cybernetics and therefore actually just dies when killed (I know what I said), so despite being decapitated, they can live on for a bit. Furthermore how else would Monsoon work, since he can detach his head at will, at least for some time. That might also be the reason for the rematch against the "AI" Mistral and Monsoon, who's damaged brains or recovered conciousness is stuck into a new fully robotic body to stop Raiden

[@Fucisko]

@@Leffrey It actually is mentioned in the game, as long as the brain is supplied with oxygen, cyborg can pretty much survive anything, including decapitations. It's basically a brain in a shell with emergency oxygen supply, so they can live even for up to hours as just brains. The twins at the start (called Gemini twins, because of course) of the game survive like this. Now this doesn't make as much sense when you can chop even their head into several pieces, but eh, gameplay vs lore.

[@CommanderConvoy]

That's why I love Yahtzee: no matter how critically-acclaimed a game is, he'll find a way to rip it a new one. I love Revengeance, and this was hilarious/honestly true.

[@Alucard94able]

[@crazyj10agains]

+Alucard94able Probably because MGR's gameplay was so perfectly in the middle there wasn't a lot to mention. He touched on the Parry, cutting fools, and the shit stealth so there's not a lot to talk about beyond that.

[@masterxlr]

+Commander Convoy Yahtzee is odd: sometimes he rips 100 new asses on half decent games while other times he only rips half an ass from horrible games (see his Walking dead survival instincts).

[@Bat0541]

***** lol I already left my rant about this game, anyone with a brain can see this games faults, I have played worse, but I have come to expect more from a title with Metal Gear in it, and if you stopped fan boy teen bonering over it for a second I think you could see some pretty shitty things in this game as well.

[@Bat0541]

***** I haven't bothered with the last Saints Row, however, Assassins Creed 4 was more fun then this game, They could have dropped the assassin aspect of it if they wanted to, but I'm sorry, being a pirate was fun as shit, I was not sure about black flag, but I was actually pleasantly surprised. Bioshock infinite was better than this crap by a long shot, a little repetitive maybe (Rising could get an award for repetition), but the pacing and the awesome environment and setting makes up for it. besides the fact that at least 2 out of 3 of the games you chose are better then this crap, all 3 were completely different genres lol, thats like if I were to start talking about crappy Super Mario world is because I can't shoot stuff like in Doom.

[@Bat0541]

***** Ahh but neither are yours friend, and I'm sorry but it is a FACT that what we got in rising was a leftover concept that was pushed off to Platinum, that considered, it could have been WAY Worse, but overall it is a disappointment, and all I can see when I play it is wasted potential with a bunch of pointless flair pasted all over the place, fun for a minute but I had to push myself through the majority of the game to even give it a decent chance.

" so i turned off the boss music"- got it, Yahtzee has no taste. Im sorry but, while the lyrics ARE kinda cringy, the beats themselves are actually amazing

[@thegirthquake8574]

Fun fact: The lyrics actually tell the story of each character you fight, or elaborates on them! Mistral felt like an outcast in a foreign land but believes only the battlefield is her home, Monsoon was a deeply broken nihilistic man who's theme describes a gentle rain trying to wash a man's suffering away, only to turn into a violent storm when the gentle rainfall doesn't work. Sundowner's theme shows that he is somewhat of an environmentalist who believes returning to warfare is the best way for humanity to return to their inner nature. He also laments the overuse of the earth's resources. Sam's theme describes that he's lost his reason for fighting, and only fights because that's how he feels he NEEDS to live, and the fight with Armstrong is actually sung from Raiden's perspective, and explains that it's two men who are fighting for the same ideals, but disagree on the means to get there. Only one of them can survive to carry out their plan. Very interesting stuff!

Armstrong is the one who believes that all this bloodshed will give birth to a stronger society and he's the one who acknowledges Raiden as a kindred spirit because his disregard of the law and the lives of everyone in his way in order to do what he thought was right is exactly what Armstrong was hoping to build.

[@slavedemorto]

I still remember how my first ever play-through was on the hardest available to me difficulty (which was probably HARD or smth). And only a year after I've beaten the game I found out that there was a dodge button (or a parry or smth). So basically each boss fight when a player needs to dodge something I would run away from boss and spam jump praying that this time the skill that takes away 60% of my hp won't land.

Karakuioshi Shisuke he doesnt hate the metal gear series, he is just overly critical for this reviews, since as he put it in other videos, people dont like when he praise too much something, this game for instance, was in his top 5 best games of the year(that year i meant). there are alot of other reviews that, he make it seems like he hated the game, but in actuality, he really enjoys it, for example, he has bashed every single uncharted game, and every time it shows up he bashed is, but, he has said, in other reviews that, the gameplay is really good...

[@EasilyBoredGamer]

Karakuioshi Shisuke the sound track was boring and forgettable for me, and Kojima's is absolute shit, never played witcher 1 so i have no opinion on that

[@MULTIgamingBROSuk]

kojima didnt direct the game. he had nothing to do with it.

To be fair It could be worse... It could be a DmC reebot so yea... I kind if actually Ironic that Raiden has become a bigger bad ass this year then freaking Dante What a twist...

[@RobertAniFreak]

Wily Bat Yes he recommended this to everybody, so those who did not buy this game would fell smarter then the poor bastards Just like people that did not buy Diablo 3 waiting in line for hours and sleeping on the street to get first in line, so they can laugh their ass off because they were waiting for hours, sleeping outside in a bag, pushing allover the place so they can be the first to witness Error37 and be unable to play for next week

The dmc reboot is better than 4 and 2. I dont get people, sure the new dante is hollywood but the old one is childish anime garbage.

[@RobertAniFreak]

***** Heres the thing... Alright, its a "Decent" game, won't say its bad OR that its perfect People have the right to like the game and think its good, If they never played a DMC game in their life and quite Franky even Capcom gives a shit for its fanbase and said themselves "There getting older and were modernizing it" Only fans that supported Capcom for years also have the right to fell betrayed, making a reboot when it wasnt even needed, gave it to a shitty company, and keeps making micro transactions for no god damn fucking business You want to know why Capcom is dying and loosing money, People don't want to deal with their stupid bullshit anymore, Resident Evil games, 3 canceled Megaman games, "Street Fighter Whore super, mega, extre delux gama edition" People pay millions of dollars on a game that does not exist yet on Kickstarter because they see potential, because the developers actually are gamers themselves and have a vision Capcom? Its simply a corporation just like politics, just like religion... they... just.. want... MONEY, and people just wont stand for this shit anymore

[@TheTruePenguinJesus]

I fucking loved it, honestly. The bosses are some of the best I've ever seen, and it's really nicely challenging. It was fun as hell, completely over the top, and had a great soundtrack.

[@ashe8653]

/asexpectedfromtheworsttroll I kid of course. I found the bosses pompous at best, the difficulty was something I piddled on, not challenging at all ( but I'm the guy who grinds through They Bleed Pixels and most rogue-likes so hey, higher standards ), the soundtrack was mediocre on a good day and I feel like being over the top just doesn't hold enough water to sustain the game itself. #opinions

[@slippinjenny7410]

Ironic how Yahtzee spends so much of the review talking about Hideo Kojima and auteur driven when he didn't write or direct it or anything, it was a spinoff done by something else

[@23madberty]

I genuinely have to believe Kojima never speaks to anyone except when he has to go out and rent action movies and anime because that is an amazing and accurate description

Also, I was under the assumption the dog was a reference to Casshern and his dog sidekick. Just like Megaman and his dog are a reference to that same thing. You know, ''human cyborg and his dog'' deal. It doesn't make it any less worse (if it is bad, that is) but it does give it context.

[@sonofbelz]

Hey, hey Yahtzee. Come closer, closer, a little closer, just a bit closer. IT'S A SPIN-OFF!

[@TLB95Switchblade]

The goof thing about these style games is that you can never go into them expecting a classic. You have low expectations from the teaser trailer and eventually pick it up because your bored and went to brainlessly slaughter cool looking baddies whilst listening to cool music and looking even cooler. You take the game seriously and you get disappointment, however you laugh at the game's story and character development and general premise and you realise: "Holy fuck... the gameplay is really fun!"

I feel like if Yahtzee made this review nowadays, he'd have very different feelings on it, especially given his new love of Yakuza having opened his eyes to that sort of Japanese way of thinking that's hard to digest unless you've had experience with it.

[@chazhinkley6602]

i think konami had an idea for a metal gear solid game with raiden as a stealth ninja and would play as a classic metal gear solid game. they then pitched this idea to hideo kojima who was on 50 types of drugs and said " MORE DISMEMBERMENT AND ROBO DOGS AND MARIACHI OUTFITS AND BARRELS AND BOOOOBS" and then ripped of his dick and wiped shit on anyone who thought other wise

[@unowhoim100]
