How was MGR? It looks like a really fun hack-and-slash, but I've never played the MGS series.I will soon I promise
Was the PC port any good?

It ran on my toaster well.
It's fun, you don't need to have played any MGS games to play it. PC port is great.

So the plot maybe minus a few things should be fine to understand? That was my main concern, I don't want to go in and have no goddamned clue what's going on.
I have a basic idea of most of the stuff in MGS, but I've just never played the series because I keep forgetting to.

It's decent. The plot is ridiculously silly.
>>321111835
amazing. I never like those kind of games but this was spot on. give it a chance and you'll be craving for sequel

Actually just tried it the other day.
Gameplay, graphics, and atmosphere are top notch, unfortunately the game is so short by the time you get used to playing it, it's over.
Voiceovers and writing are cringeworthy even for a Metal Gear game, only redeeming points are that Raiden isn't as much of a bitchboy in rising (still edgy as fuck though) and that Sam is pretty cool and his sword is actually badass
I played on360so I can't speak for the quality of the PC port, but a friend of mine who played on PC said it was generally acceptable but some people might have trouble with optimization.
tl;dr Pretty good if you can get it for cheap, but definitely has shortcomings

it's set in the same universe as MGS but it's completely different. port is good if you have a decent CPU (aka made after ~2011)
>>321111835
Yeah, but like a lot of Platinum's games it's really short and basic, you can basically master it in a few playthroughs
You'll miss a few references but you'll still enjoy the game.
It sort of spoils Raiden in MGS4 for you, but the damage is probably already done.

despite what people would say it's good with mouse, it's not designed around it but it's definitely playable. if fact I'm so shit with controlled I beat final boss only after I used mouse to cut which sounds like a blasphemy to anyone who played it
It's fun. The combat, particularly with regards to blocking and doing anything but mashing buttons, can be wonky. That said, the bosses and cutscenes are entertaining and often hilarious. A good distraction for a discounted price.

You're only missing references
But you're in for a ride OP
It's really fun but it's super shallow and has next to zero replay value

About all you need to know is that private military companies have essentially replaced national armies, the blueprints for Metal Gear Ray leaked and everyone is getting their own mechs, and nanomachines explain everything. Also that Raiden was a child soldier, distrusts AI after getting screwed over by one, and became a cyborg ninja along the way. It's really disconnected from the main franchise. As an action game it's fairly simple, but not to the point of ever getting boring. It's just a ton of fun.

Cutting mechanic will never get old

and seeing how they fixed Raiden from MGS2 and MGS4
