Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Review

[Titan ;x]

 

Usually when you hear Metal Gear, chicken equate this series consoles. PC And generally lacks this kind of games, crazy action, fantastic combinations and oversized bosses, remaining the preserve of titles like God of War.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance attack but PC without any trace of fear, although at least one problem: those who have never been interested in the series have no clue about the story, cyborgs, robots giants and all political plot Figures complemented by typical Japanese manga sites.

The Internet is, however, far and wide, so that it is no big deal to go over a few lines to you then throw in his [CENSORED]ure Raiden, cyborg the samurai armed with a katana that cuts metal as if a sheet of paper .

revengeancess05Angajat a private security firm, Raiden is tasked with protecting an African prime minister, but the convoy is intercepted by two other cyborgs sent another organization, Desperado Enforcement. A few fights later, Raiden is temporarily defeated and must draw on the latest wonders of technology to continue his crusade against those who kidnapped the minister and threatens world peace.

True story begins well, but regresses rapidly in confusion, moving from kidnapping Prime Minister kidnapping children, then a political plot against America from itself internally, everything pointed dialogues without much sense unless you're a fan series.

Construction of the character Raiden, from hero to anti-hero, his moral problems seem sometimes forced, perhaps because the actor who gives life. For further characters like Sam or Blade Wolf Jetstream are made and played much better and I would have appreciated more hours in their company than the two DLC dedicated. Tangled is nothing unusual for Metal Gear, but the more I was drawn to artificial intelligence hidden line in Blade's metal housing of the Wolf. What can happen when you started to think a single ...

The essence of this type of fighting games, however. Raiden Revengeance puts in front of hundreds of enemies, from ordinary soldiers to imenşii mechanized bosses which we must discover weaknesses to put down. Okay, I found it's kind of saying, because the game shows you where you must hit to trigger certain sequences, but it's not always easy to reach those areas. In principle, you do not want to be trampled hit with missiles and para-tight metal armor or nailed to a gun shooting came from a helicopter.

On the easiest difficulty level, the game parează for you automatically, this being one of the essential elements that ensures survival. From here and to Revengeance Normal (level unlocked after you pass the first time through the game) you have to deal only with blocking enemy blows.

revengeancess04Din Unfortunately, the gameplay squeaky least in this respect, particularly because of the camera, the usual problem of games ported from the console. Raiden is extremely fast, you have many combinations, but often could to fight alone, because speed works against you when you're staring at the walls textures instead of enemies. Camera distraught corners spins, crashes or moves too slowly, and if you expect to use mouse and keyboard, the difficulty increases.

True, Revengeance is impossible to play with normal PC peripherals and I was so stubborn to finish it. The controller remains the ideal recommendation, as keys trigger s lack finesse when it comes to combos or rapidly pressing the correct symbol to trigger the semi-interactive sequences in battles with the bosses.

Success against the many enemies but is the judicious use of Mode's Blade, a moment of slow motion based on a dedicated bar. Raiden's activation allows him to stew opponent, and the scenes are quite bloody and satisfying in a way that only the Japanese know how to achieve it. Arms, legs, heads, torso links severed in the middle, even robots go cut the middle to highlight them crammed backbone of much needed fuel for Raiden.

The arms (left, specifically) are actually part of the objects that can be collected, along with chips of data (which unlocks Stun Blade's), four hostages, missions VR (virtual reality), Endurance Plus (increased life 10 all, of which 4 can be purchased, the rest are hidden in the game) and MIBs (Men in Boxes - five soldiers hidden in cartons, whose disposal unlocks Wooden Sword). For connoisseurs Revengeance Easter Egg contains some sites, such as posters, ninja cats or references to Solid Snaker and Ninja Turtles.

Besides Blade Mode, Raiden has an attack "light" and one "heavy", sometime combined in various ways to achieve spectacular assassinations. True, the game speed rarely leaves you time to think that you want to achieve a particular combo; most often it comes down to pressing mouse buttons insane.

revengeancess02Oricum you play but battles are full of adrenalin and give a certain dependence, especially since you can return to resume various missions or acquiring VR experience (and not only winning BP for various improvements).

A menu dedicated to missions end enables you to improve your weapons and skills Raiden, plus costume change, possibly with the addition of a wig with skills that make you not despise this accessory.

Some skills depend on the weapon used, but most likely will not appeal to change sword during a battle. Action is possible but fluency breaks because you must access the related menu (still a heavy legacy of porting); The same is true if you want to fix or change grenade rocket launcher and vice versa.

The costumes are simple visual adjustments (such as Mariachi or Suit). Most of them offer a specialization - Inferno let you have more grenades, rockets Commando more and more packages White life. Here again missing references, is available armor or armor of Grey Fox Raiden from Metal Gear Solid 4.

At a very low level, stealth is also present, although you will not have too many opportunities to use it. But through channels or areas where you can walk on the roof, you can head to foot in a careless enemy and to finish a move zingură.

A very healthy activity, especially if the opponent recommended large (and gorillas) very resistant to normal attacks and corresponding damage.

revengeancess01Grafica potential benefit of PCs, but the framerate is locked at 60, an issue that might bother some players. I have noted problems in this regard, however, but on the other levels are not much of a visual spectacle (perhaps with the exception of Japanese gardens).

It's not like you have time to admire the scenery too, but you need to look through all the corners if you're a collector or find objects relevant boxes (indicated in most advanced visual mode).

The appearance is typical Japanese characters and where would be the name, you may sometimes doubt in terms of gender; Well voices largely presented and dialogues "suffering" of excess geopolitical allusions (annoying or not depends on everyone's patience); I personally thought they were funny even in obvious exaggerations, but they lack some depth if you feel like you analyze the philosophical and moral.

revengeancess03Dintre all versions Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance PC seems to be the best deal: financial (comes with all the DLC), visual (whatever they say, the processing power matters at chart) and in terms of Gameplay (goes well and the mouse and keyboard, but you can still use the controller for that extra smoothness of movement).

So until spring comes and there are other titurated, Revengeance is an interlude worthy of attention.
