[QUOTE="Admin, post: 55864, member: 1"] Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was released almost 10 years ago, but it has recently been seeing an uptick of new players due to a related meme involving one of its characters, Jetstream Sam, stroking his chin and thinking. Samuel Rodrigues, or Jetstream Sam, is a character from PlatinumGames' 2013 spinoff Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. He's recently been seeing an uptick in popularity as a meme online. According to Playtracker, the Jetstream Sam meme went viral early this year, and this coincided with Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance seeing an increase in popularity. The game's concurrent player numbers went from an average of between 300 and 800 players in 2021 to about 2000 players on average in January 2022. Additionally, across all platforms the game was released on, achievement unlocking activity has been spiking and is at its highest since 2018, indicating that more people are indeed playing through the game.
