Amazon: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance hits PC in January

[Grievous]

It's Metal Gear only in name. That being said, it's one of the best hack and slash titles on the market though. The PC port was pretty lazy, but it's still a very good game.

What hack and slash titles would you compare it to?

One of the popular ones, Prototype

Definitely Not a traditional Metal Gear more like Devil May Cry with gaiden in it.

And if a controller is used?

Much better to play to play these hack/slash games with a controller. I still believe they only belong on the console

I didn't know anyone would ever consider to play it without a controller.

It's a lazy port in the sense that it's still using the super low resolution 720p textures of the console versions. 1080p resolution limit, etc. Compared to the PC release of DmC, nothing "special" has been done for Rising. It's a simple copy paste job.

Look I love Rising, it's batshit insane and the boss battles are cool. The soundtrack rocks, but overall it's just not as good as DmC.

One of the popular ones, Prototype

Prototype isn't really a hack 'n slash title though, not in the traditional sense.

The game plays a lot like Bayonetta (which is obvious, considering it's the same developers). I found DmC to be a lot more technical (and fun to play) than Rising though.

Why only on the console? Surely its just goes down to the controller and it really doesn't matter whether its pc or console when you play? I use my controller on the pc for half my games.

So if DmC was one of the select few hack & slash games I enjoyed, would I enjoy this (having despised the original DMC games)? I asked about game length earlier - can anyone confirm the main campaign is really short? 5-6 hours?

It's a fun game. I enjoyed it and I love DmC and think that DmC is the best entry in the DMC series.

Hmm pretty short if average playtime is 6.5 hours. Guess I will give it a go then as I also loved DmC. Maybe I'll try and rent it first if I can find it anywhere. Game rental places are dwindling fast.
