So what was it like translating a Metal Gear game? Rising probably has one of the more meaty Codecs in the series. And that final boss speech is legendary. Any info nuggets about whats in a Metal Gear ‘style guide’? There’s definitely something about the English in these metal gear games that... feels distinct.

It's still a 3DS, but Nintendo insisted that this will be the best 3DS yet, performance-wise. The new 3DS has 3.5-6 hours of battery life, compared to the original's 3-5. The XL has 3.5-7, up from 3.6-6. Nintendo also said that the newer models will have a faster CPU and better 3D effects to avoid some of that pesky…

actually 3 screens. one on the left!

huh. If I known I was gonna be the cover image, I'd have put on some makeup!

Not many games do this. And it's not like there is chibi feet in the official art.

Any info on the vita version? This years was a good first attempt, but I'd love to see sooome of the presentation stuff from the console versions, better framerate, loading, all that jazz.

been enjoying this as well. Am terrible at the slidy notes though :S

And there are bigger idiots that don't. You can't just magically attach dlc to an existing game without the proper 'hooks' in place unless you want everyone complaining that shit is buggy or broke.

'you' =\= 'nobody'. :)

lmao, wataching the game struggle to load in the ultimate moves is pretty hilarious. Show been out for a decade, so why do these games still feel rushed?

well, when some dude just kicked the shit out of a dozen of your homies... you probably wouldn't be at the top of your game either ;P

luckily all this 'f2p' style dlc is probably done as an after thought after the game is finished (You seriously need none of this shit to max stuff out... well triad score is a bit tough). But the day when that isn't true...

A few quickies. From the videos I've seen of the preview build, the city doesn't seem to be too big, is there a lot of retreading old places, or is the city dense? Does the game not have any sort of inventory system for weapons in which the weapons are just 1 off use for that gameplay segment?

So it was just a 1 game thing eh?

also, if you have a vita, it isn't hard to get a psn points card from say, [bestbuy.com] (email you the code), and buy all the games digitally. And with 3ds retail games going digital soon, it should be a bit better ;)

Steam is your friend. It might be excruciatingly slow through VPN (don't remember if china blocks it), but you can make due.

but... apple!

Digital foundry noticed some stuff that wii U version had that the 2 console versions didn't. But yeah, not enough to sell me on a game that I beat last year on a PC.

"I'm gonna find you..."

you usually can in america if you yell loud enough.
