MODERATORS
It's not what we should have gotten in terms of Metal Gear story. In terms of a solid game with good gameplay and a decent story, it's fantastic. Not every game needs to be open world, require 200 hours, or be live service.
Right. And all of the MGS games that don't have these are better than rising.
It's not fantastic. It's mediocre and lazy. The swordplay is neutered because doing what they had in the tech demo was 'too hard' for obsidian. The story is forgettable, along with pretty much everything else about the game.
The MGS games are classics. Rising just rode their coattails and had memers at the helm.
