Its ign so people don't care what they say. I agree that the...mindset of mg might change with people. I mean it could for me. Why think of snake or bigboss as the ultimate badass, when raiden can manhandle rays without breaking a sweat? Then again...people now enjoy mega over the top stuff like this; Not that mgs was ever a far cry away from that feel.
And in truth, that guy is even more butthurt than I(honestly) was. The article just reeks of bitterness
How do you overglorified looney tunes characters keep falling for the same old IGN flamebait articles?SteveTabernacleIt's an opinion piece.
[QUOTE="SteveTabernacle"]How do you overglorified looney tunes characters keep falling for the same old IGN flamebait articles?Bread_or_DecideIt's an opinion piece. It's a dumbass flamebait article designed to give the site a cheap heat bump in clicks and therefore ad revenue from all the people still not smart enough to use a browser with adblock. Opinions can be stupid, and this one is.
It's not actually part of MGS, it's just a side thing. I do have to admit though, I am feeling only so so with Revengence. But we'll wait and see...

Yep, ^^this man^^ get's it. IGN does this kind of stuff all the time, it's just to earn money from ad revenue and hits. Don't take it seriously people...
Seriously, they are right.
Revengeance trailer: looks like 7.5/10 game
Rising 2010: looks like a 9.5/10 game
MGS4 : 10/10 game
Metal Gear standard: AAA+ for main entries, AA-AAA for spin offs.
Revengeance is a shame on the series.
Seriously, they are right.Mozelleple112Seriously, they are not. IGN is the Rick Perry of gaming websites, ignorant and proud of it.

Just a month ago Zelda drones were bashing Tom McShea because he didn't agree with IGN's claim of Greatest Zelda of ALL TIME.
[QUOTE="Mozelleple112"]Seriously, they are right.SteveTabernacleSeriously, they are not. IGN is the Rick Perry of gaming websites, ignorant and proud of it. NEW IGN sucks!!! Old IGN (pre early 2010) was absolutely amazing.

IGN is prtty much a site that is fanboycentric in how it has become.
The basic concpts of IGN I have nothing agains, but the overall lack of direction or same standards across the platforms, makes it seem like a place run by fanboys, not to mention thier godaweful reviews (granted, it is more a case of the reviewers themselves and not the site, but they shuould have a review standard, the UC3 review has to have gone down as the worst ever review written by someone who was supposedly a professional).
I find it really amuzing how both X-com and Syndicate got completely Butchered, and all IGn could say was "everything changes" it is not bad to reinvent series.
And then they write this for MG Revengence? Yeah double standard much?
When that is all said and done, not many of us knows alot about revengence, and they atleast had the curtisy of making it a spinoff, and not a replacement for the main series. I will wait and see how the game turns out before I cry bloody murder. If it ends up as a mindless hack&slash then I WILL cry it tho.
Seems nearly all the deep and great classical series are being remade as mindbumbing shallow would be games, for the ADHD crowd. pretty much like Hollywood and thier remake mania. In nearly all cases the originals were better in every way.
But for now? its just the weekl IGn flamebait to attract visits, nothing else.
Just more overreacting over a spinoff. And I don't get the complaints about Raiden being able to pick up that Metal Gear Ray. Did they skip the part in MGS4 where Raiden stops Outer Heaven with one hand? There was also that time where he was swinging those gekkos around.
Seriously, body slamming a MG Ray is no biggy compared to stopping a super air craft carrier, and that was in a main entry game that he did insane stuff. MGS4 Raiden was super OP, this one is no different.Just more overracting over a spinoff. And I don't get the complaints about Raiden being able to pick up that Metal Gear Ray. Did they skip the part in MGS4 where Raiden stops Outer Heaven with one hand? There was also that time where he was swinging those gekkos around.

I think they make a fair enough point, but I laughed when they said the battle's with Metal Gear were highly anticipated and extremely challenging. Aside from MGS1, the battle's with Metal Gear were a joke. In MGS2, Snakeliterally takes out like 20 Metal Gears. And I don't remember any Meal Gear battle from part 3 or 4. So it couldn't have been that epic of exciting.
I really hope this game does really well. People are not even giving this a chance. Plus it's a spin-off.
NO, that's like saying Metal Gear Acid is going to ruin MGS.

The one valid point in there is that this game will innately demote the struggles on Snake. I don't ever remember Snake running on walls on slashing people in tiny pieces. "Gosh, Raiden is just so much more badass than Snake." All real MGS players will know that Raiden is a sissy, though. NAPK1NS
... I can definitely tell you didn't actually read the article. He's not arguing that spin-offs ruin series, brah.NO, that's like saying Metal Gear Acid is going to ruin MGS.
