In conclusion, if you live in certain region, you can't play Metal Gear Rising, Metal Gear Solid 5, Yu Gi Oh Legacy of Duelist, and Castlevania Lords of Shadow. Konami put an additional region lock on top of that. Konami released the PC port of Revengeance today, and its Steam listing makes no mention of an online requirement.
