But Metal Gear Rising isn't a part of the Metal Gear Solid Series. It's a spinoff, a side game. Similar to how Halo Wars isn't a part of the main Halo series. Stuff happens in the game which is a part of the story, but it's not a main series game.

If MGR doesn't sell well, that doesn't hurt the Metal Gear Solid franchise one bit. If DmC sells badly, that could kill the franchise.

Metal Gear Solid is part of the Metal Gear saga. Metal Gear Rising is also part of the Metal Gear saga. Is canon. How many times do I have to say this? It is no spin-off,

Yea, but Metal Gear Rising isn't part of Metal Gear Solid. It's part of the Metal Gear Umbrella, but not a part of the main series.

Is Halo Wars a main series Halo game? No, but the story does take place during the main Halo story.

Even Halo 3 ODST, it's not a main series game, doesn't even have Master Cheif, but it's still Halo

Is Resident Evil Code Veronica a main Resident Evil game? No it's never referenced in any game afterwards, and the story doesn't affect future games, but it does star Claire Redfield.

This is the same situation. MGR is still Metal Gear, but it's not a main series entry. It's a side story, talking about Raiden.

Anyway, I plan to get MGR because of my love for Platnium Studios. I don't like Metal Gear Solid games, and I don't consider this to be a main series MGS game.
