>M-Metal Gear Rising is not Canon!!
it exists in its own canon that takes elements from MGS and integrates them into a new MGR canon
I miss human Raiden ;_;
Best Raiden coming through.

>So, is MGR canon?
>[...] Yes, it is connected to the MGS universe, in the same storyline and takes place after MGS4, explains what happened to the world..
>>321284385
THAT DOESN'T COUNT
>>321284526
>MY OPINION ON WHAT IS CANON AND WHAT ISN'T HAS MORE PRIORITY THAT OFFICIAL SOURCES!!
MGR sequel where Doc came and saved Sam and gave him the same body as Raiden while Raiden became the next senator and final boss when?
>>321283978
Well, both GZ and TPP have costumes directly ripped from MGR.
You can raise the point that "it's not a canonical future of MGS" but there's no canonical future to speak of yet to contradict it.
Are people so afraid to say "well, MGR is non-canon now that MGS 6 is done" to the point they drop MGR preemptively?
Also, Zelda timelines is an option too.
>>321283978
I always see this statement made by MGS2 fans who are pissed that Raiden actually got development
>>321284895
Fuck no.
Sam and Raiden should fight together.
Imagine this unstoppable train of justice.
>>321285194
Seeing as Raiden is a parallel to the player with the whole simulations and being Snake, it's an understandable sentiment from the complainers.Raiden getting personal growth would mean they should drop whining part too.
MGR is better as a finale of series than MGS4
>>321285423
>Raiden is a parallel to the player
where's the source on this bullshit claim? MGS2 fans spout this when defending that piece of shit but post no direct proof.
>MGR has a ton of allusions to MGS2 and has some important context in that
>nobody fucking cares because MGR is seen as le epic action game and nothing else
Sucks.
>>321285430
This to be honest.
I know it's not what was intended but I'll always play em in chronological order.
>Platinum game
>done by Platinum
How hard would you platinum, bros?
>>321285423
isn't Raiden a fuckboy to lure the fangirls in ?
>>321285514
I thought the "veteran of sneaking simulations" with no real experience and the dog tags with your name were a direct giveaway.
Willing to hear your opinion though.
>>321285514
Raiden was trained on videogames (specifically the previous MGS title, Integral), and his dog tag is the player's name.
>>321285562
and to be fair those who liked MGR are not big fans of MGS2
>>321285812
so no direct proof then? Figures.
>>321285848
>if Kojima doesn't directly spit it in my face then it didn't happen
I was incredibly disappointed that Solidus was hardly relevant in Rising.
>>321285848
MGS4 is missing.
>>321285848
MGR really follows through on MGS2, though, so it's a shame.
>>321285848
>so no direct proof then? Figures.
>spell it out for me, or it's bullshit
That's even less of an answer from you. If you have any other interpretation of the dogtags (besides Raiden representing the player), feel free to post it.
Why is he so perfect? I want him to gently cradle me in his mighty carbon fibre arms.
>>321286219
He really is super-cute.
>>321285960
how did Hiedo spit in your face?
>>321285983
>MGS4 is missing.
watched an LP of it.
>>321286184
I'm not the one who claimed that Raiden is a parallel of the player. That was >>321285423
burden of proof is on him and so far he has provided none
>>321286501
>watched a LP
Do you parents know you're using the computer?
>>321286501
But two people have already provided their evidence, why doesn't that count?
>>321286628
that;s not evidence. I want something from an official interview with Hideo.
>>321286627
>Do you parents know you're using the computer?
It was my own computer and it was back when getting a PS3 was not in the foreseeable future.
>>321286735
That's stupid, because it means any inference or plot point not directly mentioned in an interview never happened.
Don't be retarded.
>>321285098
>Well, both GZ and TPP have costumes directly ripped from MGR.
And MGS3 had Santa.
Snake confirmed canon Santa.
>>321285764
Yes, this is straight up shown in the collections edition DVD straight from Kojima. The drones in denial are the ones who dreamed up the player agency avatar shit.
>>321287245
there was nothing directly in game that mentioned that Raiden was a parallel to the player.
So it's up to official interviews to settle this mess once and for all
>>321287313
you misinterpreted the logic wrong. Snake is not Santa, but Santa is in fact canon. And he indeed is.

>>321287313
Yes, and NORAD is tracking him.
That's how Skull Face found him in Cyprus.
>>321287414
Raiden's dog-tag is the player's name. He is you.
>>321287559
except you can enter ANYTHING
>>321284385
That picture is cute.
>>321287608
Yes, you can enter anything as YOUR NAME.
