Metal Gear Rising Revengeance demo

I thought it was alright, but its still a demo so a lot of stuff we've yet to see, might get it, but i'm gonna enjoy DmC (Ironically) For the time being.

For those who can't get ahold of the demo.

 
Played this today quite enjoyed it. If the previous Platinum Games stuff is anything to go by then this will be initially a button masher then something else altogether. Bayonetta and Vanquish were similar in this respect and Bayonetta especially turned out to be pretty special. Looking forward to the full game. Looks great too.

I played the demo last night and thought it looked amazing but didn't play well.

I will give it another go tonight but from my first play I didn't like the combat, the Blade Mode I found really annoying, maybe it's me but the camera angle just didn't help, it just made it awkward to view the target.. also the combat didn't seem very deep, pretty dull actually.

Like I said I will try this again as I have it pre-ordered and need to decide if I should cancel it or not.

Have to agree with you. I found the camera stupidly annoying in combat, and just the overall experience very average. Maybe it's just one of those demos where's they just picked a bad level to show it off, but I've no interest in it now.
 
I really enjoyed the demo, more so than any other demo I have played in recent times.

The game feels fresh and I love the character of Raiden. The lip sync was well out on the codec (was this meant to be intentional?) but other than that the game felt fluid and fun.

If it's got a decent story it will turn out to be a great game. I loved the fighting mechanics so much I played through the demo twice, and undoubtably will play through again.

Pre-ordered for a great price!
 
I played the Demo again today and just can't get on with the Parry system as I find it very hard to judge what direction the attack is coming from, especially when fighting multi enemy where the camera doesn't help at all. Other than that the basic 2 button hack/slash is going to get boring quick.

It may be that the full game is better with more leaning curve and more depth but I just have to cancel my pre-order based on this demo :( real shame as this was a game I was looking forward to.

There's a couple of parrys in this video at about 9 minute mark. Although I'm still yet to pull one off.

There's a few moves used in that video that I haven't done for sure!

The mechs are easy enough, quite easy to judge the parry on them, the boss was a pain though. I've cancelled my pre-order as I think it may be too frustrating especially if this is what they consider to be a good example for the game.
 
LOL, it just clicked...

Thought I'd give the demo one more go and this time it all fell into place.. I cleared the street up to the boss with a couple of minutes, using aerial drops on the Mechs etc I didn't even get hit.. got to the boss and did it first go ending with almost full health..

I've no idea why it just all fell into place but I actually enjoyed it that time, maybe because I wasn't over thinking everything, not sure.

May have to re-preorder now though :)

Tesco with an online code., bought on 360 for £29.99 (after £5.00 was taken off, thanks to HUK Deals).

Wasn't sure of the rules with regards to advertising other companies. I guess it's allowable providing OC don't directly sell the item themselves?
 
Just played it to, might pre order, need more games for my PS3.

Its one of them games that will p me off but will feel rewarding when you get past the part your stuck.

Took me a while to get used to parry, locking onto the target helps a ton although it is still a bit awkward.

Tempted just cause Metal Gear and Raiden are badass & Gfx are pretty sick considering the aging hardware.

Oh I agree about the blade mode too, camera is way to close
 
Played over the weekend. This is going to be one of those games that'll be very hard to master.

I mean how on earth do you block?

Why is it so difficult to parry?

Overall it seems good. Sold!
 
I've pre ordered now, and to block, lock on to target, make sure your facing them and press up [if facing them] plus square [on ps3].

When you see orange lens flare or flash its warning the mobs about to attack so you have time to prepare a block/parry

Like other people here, it seems really hard to parry the first few plays but then eventually it just clicks and it's pretty simple.
 
I just played and completed the Demo, enjoyed it a lot!

It's easy to parry, just spam the X/Square button constantly and push the stick towards enemies.
 
Just read the review in the Xbox Magazine, seems it's a very short game ie under 6 hours and the mix of game styles don't work very well

Overall they gave it 7/10
