Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Memories broken, the truth goes unspoken I've even forgotten my name I don't know the season or what is the reason I'm standing here holding my blade A desolate place (place) Without any trace (trace) It's only the cold wind I feel It's me that I spite as I stand up and fight The only thing I know for real There will be blood (blood) shed (shed) The man in the mirror nods his head The only one (one) left (left) Will ride upon the dragon's back Because the mountains don't give back what they take Oh no, there will be blood (blood) shed (shed) It's the only thing I've ever known Losing my identity Wondering, "Have I gone insane?" To find the truth in front of me I must climb this mountain range Looking downward from this deadly height and never realizing why I fight.

Im surprised this was written off as a spinoff because man this game is great. It has such a great flow in terms of combat and gameplay direction that it really is intoxicating to play. Sure this game reeks from the very early 2010's writing and acting but I can't lie I really had a blast with it most of the time. I think some of the cons for this game mainly derived from the mere fact that the game sucks at giving a good tutorial and dosent really show you how to play properly. I wish there were video visuals or specific tutorials that can highlight specific game mechanics because oh boy did some things feel nearly impossible to pull after a countless attempt against a later boss in the game. Seriously the parrying in this game is really bad and it's a shame cause it's a hack and slash game. Besides that I still stand with what I said earlier. It's really fun when you get the hang of it and just turn your brain off. This game genuinely makes me feel like an insane cyborg ninja who chops up bad guys for justice. 8/10.

Standing here, I realize you were Just like me trying to make history.

But who's to judge the right from wrong.

When our guard is down I think we'll both agree.

That violence breeds violence.

But in the end it has to be this way.

LIKE A FLOOD OF PAIN POURING DOWN ON ME AND IT WILL NOT LET UP UNTIL THE END IS HERE AND IT WILL COME THROUGH THE DARKEST DAY IN MY FINAL HOUR AND IT WILL NEVER REST UNTIL THE CLOUDS ARE CLEAR UNTIL IT FINDS MY DREAMS HAVE DISAPPEARED MY DREAMS DISAPPEAR WASH AWAY THE ANGER HERE I STAND BENEATH THE WARM AND SOOTHING RAIN THE DROPLETS FALLING GENTLY DOWN ON THE TERRAIN WASH AWAY THE SORROW ALL THE STAINS OF TIME BUT THERE'S NO MEMORY IT'S ONLY DRY INSIDE IN THE MUD AND SINKING DEEPER INTO A PEACEFUL LIFE AND IT WILL COME LIKE A FLOOD OF PAIN POURING DOWN ON ME AND IT WILL NOT LET UP UNTIL THE END IS HERE AND IT WILL COME THROUGH THE DARKEST DAY IN MY FINAL HOUR AND IT WILL NEVER REST UNTIL THE CLOUDS ARE CLEAR UNTIL IT FINDS MY DREAMS HAVE DISAPPEARED MY DREAMS DISAPPEAR.

"This game is an outlandishly Japanese interpretation of an American interpretation of imperialism adapted from an outlandish Japanese interpretation of American imperialism."

This game is written like if someone put Dragonforce, a political analyst, a copy of The Industrial Revolution and Its Future, and a kilogram of cocaine in the same room and told them to write a story.

It's so dumb and I love it.
