Haha cool, where is this from?

"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
the tunnel where you can't use AR. I avoided the red lights from the enemies as much as possible. When the trophy popped, I turned on AR and saw that I'd skipped two big guys and two dwarfs.

Another trailer? Good lord.
This is my new favorite thing.

Does anyone have a concrete list of stuff changed in Hard/Revengeance.
If it's anything like the one he did for Lords of Shadow, thanks, but no thanks. He spoiled most locations and general visual surprises in that one. The guy doesn't know restraint.
The opening 5 seconds of the launch trailer will be the last 5 seconds of the game.

Oh, that actually sounds alright. I'd still prefer being able to switch sets ala Bayonetta, but this is a decent substitute. Thanks for clearing that up, dude.

There is a dodge move though.

Also, I haven't seen this question answered so I'll throw it out there again: Is chapter select limited to starting at the beginning of a chapter, or can you start right at a boss fight if you want?
Let's see how many people think this is an actual IGN review instead of some random user blog.
To be fair, it's not a dedicated button. I can imagine why that would throw some people off. Remember, not everyone is into pure action games and this is the first Metal Gear to venture into the genre.

The physical form of blasphemy
Yep. It was in the demo as well. I'm pretty sure I saw a move list on someone's stream... >.>
Yeah, I mean who would think highly of a game that's been criticized for flaws like needless swearing, lots of interruptions during boss battles, complete bastardization of a long-established franchise protagonist, some awkward decisions that make combat more tedious than it could be, cutscenes full of flash trying to make up for a plot lacking in substance, and a really easy standard difficulty?

But Dodge isnt a dedicated button in MSG4 either?
all of which wasn't brought up.
Instead a lack of a dodge was and a praise of a game who superiority is dubious at best and a game with the EXACT same flaws although I know you was trying to be ironic.
so yeah....

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
They said the voice acting is good in the review.
Hahahaha. Was watching a YouTube walkthrough earlier and the VA is terrible.
The X button, no? That doubled as crouch and dodge, iirc (when aiming).
Also, a very different game altogether.

How anyone can take points off for things like these blows my mind. This is a goddamn character action video game.
I daresay you missed the point. Or, alternatively, got it completely.
I haven't completed the game yet, so perhaps it becomes more open. But currently, when i pick a chapter to replay, the only option is to play it from the start.

Even though it wasn't on purpose, it was a bit misleading. I couldn't believe that IGN would give it such a low score, after all the hype they've been giving it.

Eh. It reads just like some of the Vanquish reviews.

Just beat it. It took a little over 5 hours. Do they count time in cutscenes? Pretty short I thought. I died 50 times. 48 of which were all during the final battle.
The last hour of the game goes from crazy to bat-shit insane...in more ways than one. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.
The combat is incredible. The enemies are sweet (except for one) The rest I found kind of disappointing. Even for a Metal Gear game, the story and voice overs are pretty damn bad.

Timer doesn't count cutscenes or deaths.

It doesn't count cutscenes, times that end in deaths, or retries. It only counts the fastest successful runs between checkpoints.
This is not an excuse. What happened to learning how to play a game?
You brought up an interesting point about having no way to know how to execute the purchasable moves.
If that's true, that's slightly disappointing.
That is really bad. Not having a movelist was one of my biggest peeves in the demo. I just assumed that the full game would have one.
It's not true. Hitting pause and clicking help shows every move you have with clear button prompts how to perform them and text descriptions. They also put tags on any newly purchased moves, so you can scroll to them quickly.
I'll repeat. This game does have a move list.

I swear to god gamers are getting dumber and whinier by the day, no wonder the industry is going to shit.
In that case, most of the criticisms in that review are pretty unfounded.
So fuckin true. Jesus Christ...
Thought i'd provide a little proof. I didn't scroll down to more advance stuff, just in case people consider later moves a spoiler. So i kept to showing just moves from the demo. Also, i was wrong about text descriptions, but so far i haven't required any. The move list will update, with whatever moves you have unlocked.
