I got into the Metal Gear franchise with the announcement of Rising and I'm super eager for it, but I'm no DmC fan, I hate the new DmC and bought the HD collection over DmC but I'm pumped for Rising, I even went back and played all the past MGS games to get more into the story, ended up hating myself for not getting into Metal Gear back in the 90s lol. I've played the MGR demo over and over again trying to get good at it, but it really tests me lol. Also the stealth elements are still there which I like, just not as much as the Solid series.
I haven't been this excited for a game since I learned Duke Nukem Forever was finally coming out lol.
