| S.T.A.G.E. said: Actually, ODST is a main series game, but rather a sidequest that is apart of the overall story, much like Reach. Kojima admitted that MGR is cannon and happens after MGS4. |
Well, yes, but this is getting way too technical and definitive. I agree with you.
| Rafux said: He probably means that is a spin-off without consequence to the MGS saga even if it is canon (and I accept is it) it doesn't replace or chance MGS in any form. Its like the Metal Gear Acid games, different genre spin-off. Some people are judging MGR as if it were MGS5, we have Ground Zeroes and MGS5 to continue the main stealth franchise. |
Yup, exactly. So people aren't buying Metal Gear Rising thinking it's another main series game like Metal Gear Solid. People are buying it because:
A) It looks bad ass
B) Platnium Games previous works have been excellent titles (Vanquish and Bayonetta)
C) It's still Metal Gear, so it's probably good.
There are always going to die hard fans of a series who buy a game just because it has a brands name. Not to criticize Mario, but I bet you a lot of people pick up various Mario Spinoff games because they are Mario (e.g. Mario Golf). They are good games, but had they not been Mario Characters, the games would have sold much much more poorly.
