@suracards@Cardsandcafe Worth considering 25th had a huge 25th logo stamped on it & the horrible McDonalds holo pattern. So it depends what these 30th cards are like, if they have no stamp and a normal holofoil, and the only real difference is the copyright at the bottom, it may have more of an impact.
@Hitman_Mittz@nicolas091996@Michael_Jambor I also think MGS4 contributed. Much like Microsoft temporarily locking down Rise of the Tomb Raider to compete with Uncharted.
@StaticModz@CymroMatt Just means it sold well in your area, likely because of how much cheaper it was. And even with delivery cost from here or Very its still cheaper the digital if you have a little patience
@francessonder It doesn't help that they kept making the "missing link where he finally becomes Big Boss" game only to, all 3 times (PO, PW, V), make games where he is sympathetic and heroic.
@KingOfSuper@LostJudgmentRGG Huh, fair enough! Given how many times I've played through the 3DS version and specifically noted the bizarre fact that this ending cutscene is the only pre-rendered one in the whole port, I would've thought I'd noticed this, but I didn't notice at all!
@nygma0451 @kingfrippson @MetalGearTakes Not to mention, reception of Raiden has nothing to do with what I said. I said people liked the gameplay of MGR, which was true, but the story wasn't considered all that amazing, which is also true.
@nygma0451 @kingfrippson @MetalGearTakes MGS4 did that, not Rising. Anyone around at the time would know that. Rising came from players wanting to play the Raiden scenes from MGS4.
@NimaZeighami@EgoSumRomulus@TheGoldenDays@RealGameVault Interestingly, that list has been going around for years but seems to be incomplete! I hope to do a full breakdown at some point, once I finally get that Gear VR video out the door.
@kingfrippson @MetalGearTakes Never forget 🙏 I was SO excited for this game, and everything that happened between MGS2 and 4 still being unexplored is such a shame.
@kingfrippson @MetalGearTakes "Fun gameplay but mid story that ruins Raiden's MGS4 ending" was the general consensus before the memes made MGR super popular a few years back.
