DAT MUSIC during the elevator scene. I need to know the name.
This game is so awesome. I can tell some of these encounters on revengeance are gonna be so hard to take no damage on. That trophy is gonna be hard earned. But I can't wait.

I believe he was a child soldier in Liberia.
8-10 hours on hard difficulty.
In game counter only counts successful runs to each checkpoint. So dying and playing for an hour won't be counted when you cleared that same section in 10 minutes on your latest run.

8-10 hours. The 4 hours is the in-game completion clock which has caused a lot of confusion amongst people who can't do research or tell the passage of time.

Ahh OK so it would be around a few hours if you were godlike and blitzed through it without dying. Like no one will do on the 1st playthrough.

Platinum cycle!
In 2 years everyone will suddenly "get it", just like Vanquish. It's a sign of quality.

C'mon don't start this. If you feel differently then fine, but don't live in the unrealistic world where everyone's opinion is the same.
No, you don't understand.
That guy is literally full of shit and a complete cancer. It's not just his opinion.
Shitty game reviews do not deserve to be defended under the guise of "opinion", with similar circumstances to Brandon Justice's 9/10 Aliens: Colonial Marines review, or even this very same guy's 10/10 Assassin's Creed III review.
It's alright for people to devalue an opinion, especially one that's as haphazard as that reviewer's.
People eventually "got" Vanquish? It always seemed to me those folks who hated it back then continue to hate it now. It's definitely P*'s most divisive game.

The camera in this game IS shit, though. It's been awhile I've played one with a camera THIS bad.
My problem with it in the demo was how you couldn't speed up the camera sensitivity, and in general the camera should be raised up so you can see the area around Raiden better.
The art book Gamestop got isn't really worth it, IMO. They were going to give it to me, I flipped through it after I said "no, I'm missing the Grey Fox/Cyborg Ninja skin code on my print-out" had them go through it and the art while nice... isn't the best pre-order incentive. It's kinda like Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin's "pre-order" art-book, really lacking in art and hyped to be more than it is. It's like 6-12 pages of "art" and renders, not really worth it so if you haven't gotten it, you aren't really missing anything. Yoji or not.
Seriouly, this guy deserves a slap in the face.
It's crazy this website is counted in Gamerankings.
It's even crazier when publishers are basing studio bonuses on the average review score in Gamerankings.
There is a camera sensitivity option in the retail version and it helps quite a bit.
Uh no?
Just look at all the LTTP threads popping up left and right, I don't think I've heard anything negative about Vanquish in the last year.
When it came out it was BLAH BLAH BLAH 6 hours, BLAH BLAH BLAH no multiplayer, BLAH BLAH BLAH just sit in cover like Gears of War. It completely flew over most people's heads.
Dodging and Parrying in this game seems to be sticking point for most people. Those mechanics combined with Zandatsu are what makes the game so cool and unique, just like the sliding and mobility in Vanquish.

Gotta say, as a casual collector of MGS and Shinkawa stuff, I'm pretty impressed with the quality of the art book. For a freebie, it's a nice format size and, although it doesn't have a lot of pages, what is there is great.
I thought it was like 8-9 hours to beat?
It will take that long, but a lot of people will think it's a 4 hour game based on the in game counter they see when they beat the game.
It's close to 8 for your first play through, but people that complain about the 4 are based on other people not knowing better and only looking at the end game screen.
Anyway, for a speedrun, I think I can do it under an hour. I'll try it in a few days.

It is, but most reviewers just read the end clock and don't know about Platinum Time
Fucking people.
I don't think the lack of MGO thing will be a complaint, bad camera will probably be the only legit complaint at the end of the day. Story well, it's Metal Gear, I'm sure it's a fun ride!
Am I the only one that doesn't care if a game isn't super padded out? A short and sweet ZoE2 style length with good replay value sounds great to me.
I gotta say, I love the design of SAM, reminds me of this dude from Neo Contra.
That game was kinda shit but it had one of the most hype intros, been watching it in preparation!
PS3 exclusive (but only in NA) VR Mission DLC is paid DLC that isn't out yet.
It will be forthcoming.
My complaints are the camera and the lack of depth in combat. It's not that MGR is too difficult, but rather the fact that it relies so heavily on the parry there is hardly any variety.
How to win at MGR:
1) Parry incoming attack.
2) Counter attack.
3) Do QTE (if fighting a boss)
These couldn't possibly be the same people who sing its praises now. The arguments are too immature. I was referring to the reviews, anyway; I thought we were talking about critical reception.
Already seen people ask for MGO and complain about there not being one.
For real? :/
IIRC Vanquish also got two 5/10 reviews (one was by Sterling) counted on metacritic.

I can't even figure out how an online component would work with this game. People just constantly parrying each other.
what's the ideal value for the sensivity?
Probably not up on XBLM right now. Give it a day or two.

You forgot, mash heavy attack with the occasional light attack. I'm on Hard, and maybe it changes up on the later areas, but combat is already feeling overly-familiar.
I was talking about how the general perception of the game evolved after it's release.
Which is what matters at the end of the day, how a game stands the test of time.
I was just pointing out that there is a precedent with P* games of reviews not giving the games enough credit.
I would be down for that.

Anyone here pick up the Wal-Mart version with the soundtrack? Is the UPC the same as all the other versions?
I have both vertical and horizontal at max and personally I think it's quite an improvement when compared to the default settings.

I did through Amazon. What's your tracking package say?
Has anyone received their code from Amazon?
