Let the heathens rage. Let them spit and froth at the mouth. They are wanton things, and vile things, and do not deserve our rage in answer.
Funny, I always viewed it as more of a homage myself. Especially since Snake used the name "Iroquois Pliskin" in "MGS 2". I'd say making direct references to something is hardly ripping it off.Not to mention Hideo Kojima ripped off John Carpenter's "Escape from New York".
Anyway, yeah, I might have to pass on this new game. I certainly don't want to play as Raiden. They should have left it alone after "MGS 4". It was a good ending for the series.
Perhaps "ripping off" is too harsh a word, but Kojima definitely sold out. I'm quite disappointed, actually.
Raiden was introduced solely to get females into the game. And it worked. He's one of those dark and edgy emo characters that BAAAAAAAWs all the time. Comments on YouTube from MGS fanboys say he's a badass, but with heels, ghost white hair, and a bishie look, he's still a fruitcake.

I do agree that he sold out. I never thought about Raiden being there to appeal to females, but it does make sense. On a side note, I really hate that out of ALL the Sony characters, he's the only one from the "MGS" series that made it into "PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale". Though considering how that game was basically one big advertisement for upcoming games anyway, maybe that was supposed to be a hint. Outside of the nigger characters, he's easily my least favorite of the whole series.

Yep, it's just about how much money they can make off of gamers. They put out these half complete games which you then have to download patches for, usually only fixing a few of the bugs, and then they nickel and dime you to death with dlc (almost always on-disc dlc at that!).
Now you've got Sony and (supposedly) Microsoft rushing out new consoles since Nintendo did, I'm sure all lacking even more backwards compatibility so they can sell you the games again on their stores. It just makes me glad I've become more and more of a PC gamer in recent years.
Yeah. They're pitching out consoles like mad to save their stocks. They sell games to make money, not for entertainment. Quality games should give you a bang with your buck; something you'll remember. From the looks of it, PC gaming looks to be the future because gaming consoles rely on materials that are out of date or cheap plastic.
