Whether people like Rising or not it is quite certainly part of the Metal Gear universe

Just started GOW:A and holy shit love the new combat system..challenging but fun :D

I know I was just quoting Snake

Oh lol my bad compley missed that one

I've only played the God of War III and Revengeance demos. I would have to say I preferred Revengeance, it seems more precise for a hack'n'slash.

Is this even a debate GoW is being panned for being GoW same combat system with a little tweaks and epic battles.
GoW:A hands down even with some bad reviews it's not even a comparison.

OTACON WHAT THE EFF!

Technology appeals to me more than myths and demons. I don't like Kratos as a character so I haven't played a GOW game sine the PS2. I never liked the Devil May Cry games and I didn't care for the demo of the new one either. I'm a fan of the Metal Gear games and I loved the demo of Rising. I havn't picked it up yet because I don't want to pay full price for such a short game. But I will get it when it's cheaper.

So MGR:R for me.

Seems hard to choose between MG Rising and GoW:A. GoW has better gameplay but MG Rising actually has a story and great cutscenes.

I haven't played DMC, but I may get a copy in the near future.

You say DMC but it sound like you're talking about DmC

I've played the demo of GoW:A and it seemed like more of the same and it kinda ran slow (most probably because I played it right after Rising which is faster and runs at higher FPS). I felt like the demo dragged on forever and I was happy when it ended... I don't know why because I liked the previous God of War games but that's what I felt like with this one.

I've played and finished DmC on PC only on Nephilim mode. I tried to play it in a way that I would make the most use of the different moves and stuff available and without resorting to the extremelly easy ways to get SSS in fights or using the glitches present in almost all levels to "fly" around the levels to finish missions extremelly fast but still... it was far from being as good or as exciting as the previous games for me and I thought the boss fights were kinda bad... almost as bad as DMC 2 boss fights with the exception of the final boss (as long as he doesn't glitch and stays frozen in the air or something like that). Never replayed the game on any other mode because... I didn't really like it :S

I've actually replayed MGR:Rising multiple times already (over 29 hours played and that clock doesn't count a lot of things so it's probably a lot more), finished Revengeance mode, cleared all VR missions getting first place, etc... and I'll keep playing it until I get all trophies...
I liked Rising, I liked the enemy desing, the boss fights were epic and pretty well designed (though I wish some of them lasted longer), the soundtrack is really cool, there are tons of stuff to unlock, lots of easter eggs, really funny (and a lot of) codec conversations, combat system is good (though it could be a bit better by adding some stuff like a better lock-on, realtime weapon switching mid combo, more combos for secondary weapons, etc.)
I think the cammera needs some work though, it can be crappy at times... specially when you consider that the parry mechanic depends on direction... and if the cammera is screwing around then it's harder to parry :S... the auto adjust of the camera is really bad... sometimes I have to keep moving it just so it doesn't auto adjust.

Well, whatever... none of them is perfect and at the end of the day, the game that makes the biggest profit is the most successful business wise, lol.
