IDK, the previous trailer was way more polished. The engine that the previous team used looked almost like the in-house engine. Rising seems like a hack 'n slash counterpart of Time Crisis.

edit: I meant in-house engine.lol

Might as well name it Dynasty Warriors: Metal Gear Rising.

Have you guys even played a Platinum game? Bayonetta is widely regarded as the best action game since DMC3, maybe even this decade, full-stop.

The Special One · 12-10-2011, 08:23 PM

I know of Bayonetta, though from Rising's previous articles, I kinda expected a little tactical espionage spin on the hack 'n slash route; probably the only reason I wanted to at least give Rising a try.

Started Skyrim as a Nord, using 2 handed weapons 'cause I love the kills with them. Suck with a bow though.

Despite the glitch, this still looked awesome to me:

Alduin looks really mad.

Having one dead eye will do that to you. Depth perception and all that.

Time to get Skyrim I think...

**Mal** · 12-11-2011, 02:17 PM

Definitely time to do it.

Jaxon · 12-11-2011, 05:05 PM

Should be getting it tomorrow, hopefully.

OG · 12-11-2011, 06:33 PM

15 hours in, im only lv 10 lol

Quickest way to level up is crafting a shit ton of iron daggers, but if you do it too soon you'll end up with leveled enemies that slaughter you in a single blow. As I discovered when I started making shit at level 4 and stopped when Smithing was at 100, I was level 13ish and everything was killing me.

Then I made and drastically improved some Orcish armour, got the Fists of Steel perk (which I nearly just called a "feat" after talking about DnD in the other thread) and started punching shit to death.

Darth-Nero · 12-11-2011, 06:53 PM

yeah i spammed the dagger thing to level up crafting too, and now i haz an Ebony armor. but i reached that around level 30 so no enemies can stand my might.

Rising: I have no problems with the new direction, but I can kind of see why some MGS fans are upset. The original tech demo showed gameplay that was quite revolutionary in terms of control and function. What we got was essentially Bayonetta 2 with a Metal Gear skin (which is probably as awesome as it sounds).

Platinum: They are gods. Born from the ashes of Clover (Okami, Godhand) rises the makers of Vanquish and Bayonetta. Just look at that pedigree. Everything awesome in action and games are represented in Platinum's work. Rising is in good hands.

Skyrim meme: was good, now bad. Now only semi-funny when unexpectedly applied to current events.

Skyrim: Only when I get my hands on a machine that can suspend time, and the entirety of the Bethesda QA and coding team, will I tackle this game. Otherwise, it'll be a pretty damn long while, bordering on never.

In other events, I played the demo of Bastion. Exactly the kind of game that can be enjoyed in short bursts. I like how it's not inundated with meaningless gameplay mechanics and overbearing setpieces: just solid fun of a Diablo/Torchlight kind of way. Also, I like the "real time" narrating. Nice touch. Think I may get it instead of lunch one day.

Building a PC. Am excited.
