The blood in the trailers made me feel sick. Even if they aren't ridiculous rivers or fountains of blood, I still couldn't handle what was already there. And I heard he does worse to his enemies to replenish his HP. I just want to know if I can turn the blood off or if I will have to stomach it if I want to play it someday... |

This isn't a deconstruction of violence the way Spec Ops: The Line was (a game I could only bring myself to finish once, but should be played by people at least once). This is refuge in how audacious it all looks. And that's OK.
Still gonna wait on it, given the short play time.

This game isnt anywhere NEAR as violent as games like Gears of War.
Plus, almost every Metal Gear game can be beaten in a matter of hours if you fly through it. I played, just today from 3 to 11 and Im only on chapter 3. Why? Because I listen to all the codec conversations that you can have that, you know, flesh out the story and the characters. I feel like this review really only touched the surface of the game and it's gameplay, without taking much of anything else into consideration. 6-7 hours to beat? If you do nothing else but fight and upgrade. |

"This is one in a scant handful of videogames with the gall to use the names of actual countries instead of ginning up some vaguely Arabic sounding name, planting it somewhere in the Middle East, and calling it a day. That ought to count for something, at least."
Didn't MGS4 do just that? |

"Oh this one has more 5% more blood when you shoot someone" They are both pretty violent and while MGR you can argue is so over the top that it can't be taken serious, I'm not sure how that wouldn't apply to the macho cheesefest that is Gears. |

Maybe tedious is the wrong word. Basically, I don't like how, whenever I go into blade mode, my character must remain stationary, and I have to use the analog stick to slice the enemy, which is never a straight cut anyway, so I'm just randomly moving the right stick around in several directions until there's a whole mess of limbs. And since I'm rewarded for precision cutting, eg. health, this feels rendered mute. Plus, the storyline doesn't grab me, and I just don't feel right bringing a sword to an urban gunfight, cyborg or not. But, hey, that's just my opinion. |

Well I guess the students here will be happy. We just got our copy in yesterday. Let's see how long it lasts. So do folks like Raiden now? I think that was answered back in MGS4.

I wouldn't know. They never released a copy for the 360. |

Oh, FFS. 
Might get it on 360 then, getting really bored with forced installs. Hey, my 360 will get used for the first time this year then! YAY. |

Left-click allows you to move Raiden around while in blade mode. |

The big reason I think this game gets noticed for its violence is because Kojima does a whole lot to make the gamer feel guilty for the violence that is being done or to at least recognize that it isn't "good." Metal Gear Solid goes out of its way to make you feel guilty for what you do to the bosses (Way out of its way in my book. That game was an experiment in how far back my eyes can roll). The third had an area that punished you by having the length tethered to how many people you killed. In the fourth, I have a feeling Kojima just lost his patience and decided to go straight for the libido by forcing the gamer to kill hot chicks.
The point is, to have a franchise run by Kojima hand the reins over to people whose specialty is wanton, over-the-top, extreme violence is rather unusual. |
