Metal gear rising ost bpm1/2/2023 ![]() The final boss Senator Armstrong has good stuff surrounding him but the fight itself is not fun. I can understand there being thematic reasoning for it but its still a shame. Sam's boss fight was an incredible letdown and anticlimax, its the easiest fight in the game and its over in 2 seconds. Speaking of bosses, they range from ok (Blade Wolf) to godawful annoyances (Monsoon). The zandatsu is just a flashy slash thing that has nothing to it except requiring you to slash a little more precisely during some boss fights, enemy spines are easy enough to get that they aren't actually a factor. You just mash and parry or mash and dodge. Ultimately every enemy in the game is boring and not different enough from eachother to make how you deal with them any different. In a 1v1 with them its far too easy to react to and poses a threat only while you dont understand exactly how the dodge attack works. The problem is, there are like 2 whole basic enemies in the game that do the yellow grab and theyre never placed well with other enemies to actually force that attack on you when youre focusing on parrying fodder. The only thing that changes this is when you need to do the zandatsu or when the enemy does a yellow grab. You hit light and heavy in the random order that feels good to you in that second and just mash the analog stick in the direction of the enemy whenever you do a light so you can parry them. The combat is boring and has zero depth to it. But the best I can say about this game is that its got good music, there are some funny memes, and the combat is ok if you completely turn your brain off. For those who do manage to immerse themselves in the game however you'll find nothing short of a masterpiece that rewards your determination in spades.I really wasn't expecting to dislike this game as much as I do, I thought I'd really like it in fact. ![]() If you have the time and are interested in the story, definitely pick it up, if you think you'd get frustrated by the having to manually balance your cargo, you probably will and should just look up the story on YouTube instead. I understand it's not for everyone, but it is also far from the "trash" many people will try to convince you it is. Easily one of my favorite games of the decade, and one I don't think I'll stop thinking about and playing for a long time. It's unfortunate how divisive this game turned out to be, but I think it's good that people can now either avoid the game by knowing it's not for them, or dive in and really get the purest experience possible if they're interested in what Kojima and his team are trying to do, hence why the in game community is as incredible as it is. The music, environment, attention to detail, and stellar performances from the entire cast also deserve to be mentioned, as all of them were incredibly impressive. I think overall the whole experience would've been tainted by going for the traditional route of having a ton of fights and standard gunplay, but the trade off was making a pretty divisive and potentially alienating system and game world that not everyone's gonna like. So I liked how they go for engaging moment to moment gameplay of watching your surroundings and managing inventory instead, makes the themes and story punch way harder. Also, engaging in potentially lethal scenarios runs the risk of triggering a void out that (in universe) could obliterate cities. The toll combat takes on you in this game is massive, both in the cargo you have to carry to be "good" in a gunfight and in the damage you can take whether physically or to your precious deliveries. There's flaws sure, it could've used a bit more polish, but the point of the game was to avoid combat not for stealth purposes like MGS, but for human purposes tied to the message Kojima's sending about bringing people together rather than tearing them apart. ![]() The human combat I thought was really engaging, if not basic on the whole notwithstanding a handful of dramatic and dynamic boss fights, and the stealth around BTs was heart pounding from start to finish. I found it incredibly entertaining and couldn't put it down for really any of my 40 hours.
