Correct me if I’m wrong but IIRC in the finale the only reason why he was able to beat Rau was because he actually felt bad about every single person he killed, and that empathy made him able to memorize and understand everyone’s fighting styles

That sounds like Kenshiro to me, he's a big softie deep down. And let's no forget he fought somebody voiced by Gackt in sequel OVAs. And Gackt is a real life vampire. Some Halloween trivia.

By the way, Gackt was in an MGS2 commercial with a baby.

Close enough

Feeling sad about his friends dying let Kenshiro unlock the final Hokuto Shinken skill but Raoh also managed it because he thought he killed Yuria and was genuinely in love with her so it ended up with Ken just being better at punching people.

I’ve managed to not watch much of the stuff beyond the Guillermo del toro trailer other than knowing you have ladders and maybe some delivery stuff. I’m getting this game either way. Should I watch the launch trailer or is it really spoilery?

Also in that early trailer it had a lot of WW1 imagery that I don’t think has popped back up since (well I haven’t seen it in the few screens here and there I’ve seen, maybe there is heaps of it!) is this aesthetic still in the game?

I'd recommend watching one of the gameplay stuff so you have an idea of what the actual game is, since it may not be something you're into.

And the answer to your second question is yes.

are there any videos/pictures of unboxing or something, of the steel book version of the game? for some reason, this version is 66 quid when usually these steal books are like 46, and the base game is 41 and im trying to decide if its worth the extra 20 quid or not. because if its just the game normally and then they throw in a steal book like sekiro or spider-man did instead of how yakuzas and resident evil 2 did it, then im out.

This close to release I'd honestly say skip the launch trailer if you're already sold on it. I'm sure it's not going to ruin anything but it's got a real MGS5 trailer vibe of "here's a bunch of the important story beats and later game things" more than the previous trailers have.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

The Verge review was well written. Good game, epic story with more questions left unanswered than Lost. But boring. Clunky. And I get the impression they weren’t the happiest about all the crazy unanswered plot points. There is a ton of just...walking. Very detailed walking game. The takeaway seem like you’re only going to enjoy it and even finish it if you’re really obsessed enough to get past the boredom and all it asks of you.

I was actually going to buy a PS4 if this was really good, and I’m not a cynic I love story driven epic games like this, but it is a very hard wait and see for me now.

I'm in the same camp. What's kinda funny is that with all that we saw of the game ahead of time, it sounds like exactly what was advertised, I just kept having this hope that there would be a little more to the game and that the gameplay itself would be engaging (which is impossible to get from just marketing videos).

I'll be curious if Kojima takes the post-launch feedback from players and critics and makes use of patches to alter aspects of the gameplay, like the way fast travel is implemented, or being able to toggle aspects of the multiplayer help/construction system (as both are detailed in the IGN review)... or if he sticks to his "vision", irregardless of what the responses turn out to be in the next month.

I might get this as a podcast game or something, I'm a spaz and I can't enjoy just sitting down and delivering packages. I wish there was a demo where you could try the core gameplay for like 1 hour.

I find this very unlikely and besides, the game is what it is, he will not and can not patch the gameplay loop to be different.
