See here is the thing, Kojima did have much to do with what the intial vision for Metal Gear Rising project was to be.You don't understand. And even though I like Gray Fox more that doesn't change the way I would feel about it if I got the same exact game. I said it was just ok. I don't hate MGR but, it isn't something I'd shell out full price for and want to buy. Borrowing it and playing it for a little bit was good enough for me.
Kojima had hardly anything to do with the game and the MGR you're playing is even the third incarnation of this game and not what Kojima really wanted to make. P* and Konami were the ones who pushed for the changes. Kojima doesn't even like working on games with protagonist younger than him. That's just his thing. He said he doesn't relate well with it.
Raiden's story shouldn't have continued because he had his resolution and was done with MGS 4. And you obviously don't get what Raiden is suppose to be in the Metal Gear series. You don't play Metal Gear. That's why you totally don't get my last part about MGS 2's purpose for the character in the first place.
I still don't care much for Raiden but replaying MGS 2 again has shed some light on the purpose of him. I got a better perspective. Yet you only percieve my comment as "hating on Raiden" again. Please. I don't think I should even bother to explain it to you because no offense but I think it would just zoom over your head.
After Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots was released, Hideo Kojima started coming up with ideas for another game, Metal Gear Solid 5. The game was meant to feature The Boss and her comrades, the Cobra Unit, as main characters. However, the lack of experience from the younger staff in charge and the lack of involvement from Kojima resulted in this project being scrapped. Afterwards, a member suggested turning it into a sidestory focused on Raiden since said character was featured in Guns of the Patriots and the staff agreed to develop Metal Gear Solid: Rising.It was originally conceived as an interquel that would chronicle the series of events that resulted in the transformation of Raiden into his cyborg ninja persona in Metal Gear Solid 4. Rising would have taken place during a point in the series' chronology at which Raiden had already begun his transformation into cyborg form, albeit with a different and somewhat more crude appearance from the one seen in Metal Gear Solid 4.
And it's very funny how you think that Raiden should turn his back on whats happening in MGR, because in MGS 4 at ending he told Rose he would rest.
What was happening in Rising plot?Solidus Snake: The eighties... the civil war. You were one of the best among the child soldiers that fought in that conflict. When you were barely ten years old, you became the leader of the small boys unit. [...] I was your godfather, I named you.
Kids were abused and cyborg company's were taking their brains to put them into a cyborg shell.
A child soldier.
Just like Raiden.
Manipulation by the Patriots causes him to believe he does not have free will. Raiden is encouraged by Solid Snake not to be concerned with what people tell him, but to rely on himself to face his problems.
Your not critiquing MGR in a constructive way Chancey.
That is why i say your buthurt, because i bet if Gray Fox was the character - you would conveniently like MGR more.
But you hide behind things like "MGR isnt MGS" and so on.
