THAT PLATINUM TOUCH BABY
In all seriousness, it is an excellent high-speed action ride that I personally love.
Great Game, Even Better Soundtrack.

Is it Konami who did that? When I was working out this soundtrack was my SHIT and then one day they were just gone.
I gave up on MGR a few hours in. It just plays so differently from other Platinum character action games that I'm entirely lost. There's all this stealth bullshit and fruit ninja cutting that just doesn't click for me.
Someday I'll go back to it.

You don't have to use stealth at all if you don't want to. You can finish the whole game swords blazing.
See I love everything about this game... except the gameplay? It just felt so frustrating and punishing in all the wrong ways when you were trying to play with style but weren't quite there yet. The learning process never became fun for me and every time I go back to replay it I just give up after a stage or two.
I'll dream and dream, but I know it's never happening. At the very least I hope Platinum takes it's spirit and makes a whole new ride. I wanna see a President spar with a TV Host and all of a sudden an Astronaut comes down filled with alien slime screaming "IT WAS ALL IN THE PYRAMIDS!!!"
Definitely gonna buy on steam one of these days for a replay.
This game is so infinitely better than it had any right to be. As a huge Platinum fan this is among their best games for me.
I remember everyone thought a sequel was confirmed when a blue 2 showed in a Montage at a Sony conference.
Seriously, this game is one-of-a-kind. I'm really sad we'll likely never see a true sequel to it.
It's incredible when you consider just how compressed Platinum's dev cycle was on this game. Mind-boggling to consider they didn't even have a full two years to work on it, and yet managed to produce something this stellar!

When this happened I was already in love with the game, but it instantly went in to one of the most memorable special games I've ever played and it only got better and better from there. The game is so expertly crafted that it'll always be on my list of games that I highly recommend to people. It's so damn fantastic!
Played the demo for 30 minutes before accept how boring and uninspiring the gameplay was... never touched again.
MGRising is a great experience that captures the goofy nature of Metal Gear, but the hypest game stars this fella:
Despite some flaws it's definitely one of my favorite games of all time. The length is just perfect for replaying it in an evening or two and is always fun going back to it.
I actually played the game last year for a company Extra Life stream and even though it's not the sort of thing many of them would play they loved watching the spectacle of it all.

Hell yea! Played this gem when it was part of PS+ line up on Ps3, flawless gameplay, addictive combat with the parry system and damn soundtrack was perfect!!
excellent boss fights, especially the last one with the ridiculous long cutscenes haha!!
recently watched GB's Dan and Drew play it. its very entertaining.

Had a good time with it even though I'm not great in this kind of games. We can all agree though that the last boss is a joke and drags down the overall experience.
I like Revengeance and I'll gladly put it up as one of the most hype games ever made, but... Aren't you all forgetting someone?
Such a hype game. The final stages are just pure hype from start to finish. You can probably stop playing halfway through them to take break, but let's be honest... no. You cannot. When you start Operation 009, you're in until the end.
This game so very much needs a Switch update or a sequel. So much fun, so much hype. Even if the controls takes some getting used to.
Their faces are forever masked.
Their tombs are forever unknown.
They are...
The Wonderful 101!

While I agree that W101 is [ [ [ MAXIMUM HYPE ] ] ] I think said hype really comes from all the cutscenes/QTEs. Nothing about the actual gameplay in the final chapters actually contributed to the hype - certainly not /another/ of Kamiya's Space Harrier-esque shooting sections. Compare that to Rising, where the Armstrong fight is not only hype as helll due to the incredibly long and OTT cutscene preceding it, but the fight itself asks you to show off your mastery of every single skill you've learned from fighting previous bosses. It's the Revengeance experience culminated in a single encounter without any extraneous bullshit.
I can agree with that, though I will say most of the W101 boss fights are more hype than the MGR ones on sheer "This is a thing we're doing now!" factor alone. But the weird and sudden gameplay changes do feel a little like the game not being confident enough in its core gameplay.
Armstrong, on the other hand just flat out asks you "Do you know how to play?" Fighting him on Revengeance difficulty is like a final exam of everything in the game. One hit and you lose so much health that it rolls over and spends two repair pastes automatically. You either dodge perfectly, or you die. As a consolation prize, your QTE attacks do a lot of damage, too.
But I still thing that from sheer spectacle, W101's final chapter is just plain crazy. And it has the best QTE in video games.
The best game Platinum has made. Simple yet deep combat system, addictive gameplay loop that never dulls and instant restarts via constant checkpoints.
OST is fantastic also.

I played this for the first time recently and loved every minute of it. The beginning was a bit confusing for me but once it clicked it was amazing. Plus, it's highly replayable!
This thread is only reminding me on how much I love Platinum. Both Revengeance and W101 contain maximum hype-based escalation, though all of their games have the ability to melt my face with sheer spectacle, even on repeat plays. I still need to pick up a few of their more recent releases.
What are they up to nowadays?

We want, nay, need a sequel! So much better than MGS4 and MGSV it isn't even funny. Best MG game of last gen.
I remember being so mad at the announcement but then loving the game. Bosses and music were GOAT, but levels felt pretty aseptic and empty
