Fed all of my fangirl needs. THE BUTT SHOTS, THE CHEESY LINES, ONO RIPPER, AWESOME MUSIC, COOL BOSSES, WTF PLOTLINE....yeaaaah. I beat the game yesterday~

I bought the Limited Edition version of it with a friend of mine, so I ended up getting the plasma sword lamp, soundtrack, and concept art book with it (though I wish it was longer.)

I want to gush all of my thoughts and a very derpy summary about it now with the help of animated gifs, so if you don't want to be spoiled, this is you're warning.

IN THREE.................
TWO................
ONE.........

Chapter 0. Wow, was I surprised to see Raiden with a human looking jaw on.

Of course, he was pulled straight into action, due to the man he's protecting is abducted by a group of cyborgs known as the Desperado. And that's when he takes off the suit and reveals his MGS4 cyborg self. Except, they must've figured out a way to make his cyborg muscles less in need of high-oxygenated blood, so his blood color is back to a humanly red. And..I'm saying that because his arm is cut off from a cyborg named Jestream Sam, to which Raiden says "Not again..." Oh and his left eye gets sliced.

Chapter 1. And then you get introduced to his MGR cyborg body. It was like he was a graceful dolphin rising from the water....and that's when you reallllly start getting into the game. Zandatsu's everywhere....which is, ripping out the spine from other cyborgs and absorbing their health and energy by crushing it. YEaaah. Also I just love how fast Raiden can run when you press down the Ninja Run button and ddhsgajdgsh COMES IN HANDY AGAINST LQ-84i. (Which turns into the most adorable cyber-dog.) Not to mention one of the coolest female bosses I've seen in a while.

I mean of course she's a bit....nnh....showy? But her story and her acting of NOT FLAILING AROUND DUMBLY LIKE MOST FANSERVICE GIRLS was great. I just....kinda hoped that she'd survive like Wolf, instead of Raiden pouring liquid nitrogen on her and slicing her in half.............cough.....

Chapter 2. Ughghghhg.....the creepy plot sets in that the US government is creating thousands of PMC cyborgs by harvesting child brains in the black market. Raiden finds the underground laboratory and.....y-yeah....

Chapter 3. Raiden can't continue tracking down the Desperado unit anymore due to his connection with Maverick, so he goes solo and tracks them down on his own. Bad choice! Sam contacts Raiden via screens everywhere in the city and decides to nip a few emotional strings in his head about all the cyborgs he's killed. Monsoon, another Desperado member, decides to play along with Sam by bashing down Raiden until.......until.....

Ahhhh....takes me straight back to 7th grade I MEAN
I don't find Jack the Ripper an alternate personality, but rather it's the still Jack, just....with screws let loose, y'know? He says a whole bunch of cheesy lines too while in Ripper that make me want to face palm, but it still makes me want to beat the crap outta Monsoon. I MEAN HIS BOSS FIGHT...


Chapter 4. Chasing down Sundowner (another member). Sundowner was also a killer fight because it was just so gruelingly long due to that man's armor he has. Not to mention I got sick and tired of hearing "I'M FUCKING INVINCIBLE!" oooover and over again. No, you're not. Expose me your back and I'll cut your butt up so bad you'll have none left.

Chapter 5. Actually had to read up on this because I missed it, but Raiden and his, play on words, Doktor, are transporting the child brains out via helicopter. They're ambushed by these weird-ass plane things, which Raiden falls from the sky.....oh u Raiden....

Chapter 6. Raiden finds himself a badass bike to get to his next location, when Sam is all like O HELLO and confronts Raiden. Yadda yadda, Raiden wins, and wolf take's Sam's awesome fire katana as a token of respect.

Chapter 7. Raiden meets with Sunny WHO AGED SO CUTE and finds that he has to...get on this rocket that travels at mach-23 to get to a place in Pakistan that's supposedly the place where all the crap that's been going down takes place there. There he meets the dick of dicks, Steven Armstrong. BOOOOOOY did I hate that guy. A politician running for the US President? AHA...AHAHAHA.......hfgdsfdsMUUURDEEERRR HIMMMMMM. I died, what, more than 50 times on the final boss fight of him? It was way to precise for my likes....Raiden can sum up my feelings here

Nanomachines my ass. He literally punted Raiden around like a soccer ball in one cutscene. It's okay though, because in the end, Raiden rips his heart out and crushes it which made me extremely happy.


The ending was...short and sweet, I just wish I saw a bit more of where Raiden was. They ended with a possibility of him doing something the equivalent of a bounty hunter since he left Maverick. I just hope that means....there'll be a sequel....ohohoho....
