or just use the Konami code and unlock all difficulties right off the bat.
On the second section (just before the first Ray fight), the enemy mixup is a rocket grunt and two blade wolves over the fence/barricade.
Try pulling the grunt and his replacement far from the fence. If you're having difficulty with normal, you don't want to tackle all three.

Thanks for the advice, everyone.
I sure wish I could use my Fox Blade during the prologue, but then again, that's practically cheating.

I didn't think of that one. I kind of just jumped up in the air and attack him after I parried his charges and after awhile he went and got his sword back. Fun fight. This very last final boss fight on the other hand...not so much. This is one stupid big difficulty spike and one mistake can cost me all my health. Wouldn't be so much of a problem if he didn't have so much health...
Kind of wish I had the fox blade right now. He freaking heals himself too! Lame.
Where u order?

Yeah, tell me about it. Not sure what relevance this has to this game, since it took me 10 hours to beat the game and I don't have nearly even half the unlockables. Welcome to NeoGAF, don't forget to read the thread
Oh my gaaaawd. Game is not long, but definitely not 4.5 hours, and if you only play it once through, you're probably not doing it right and might as well rent it.

Yeah this is amazing.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
OP needs Inaba's tweets about game length in BIGTIME. Then people can start getting donged for not reading the OP/knowing their shit.

Yep.
Once you move behind him and go into blade mode, that little square will pop up and show you where to attack. Enjoy!

Monsoon. FUCK him and fuck that battle. RIP my analog stick. I did get the 10-parries in 10-seconds trophy though.

Yeah they are really good. I don't know what it is. I am a huge metal fan (progressive and power metal, bands like Dream Theater, Nightwish, Symphony X), and I love Fly me to the Moon from Bayonetta.

Does anyone bust out laughing when they think about
the pre monsoon fight cutscene where they were talking about "memes" but as a cultural phenomenon and not internet in jokes. Not to mention during the final cut scene when Raiden exclaims "THE MEMES!?" I seriously think im gonna make a video clip of that bit when I get home from work

None can resist the pure fabulous emanating from that song. It's like JoJo.

Played the first chapter. Pretty good so far. Raiden is getting only slightly upset anymore when his body gets mutilated.

Did anyone notice the cat just before
fight? There's a short scene where you can move the camera. If you look to the right, you'll see a
the monsoon
soldier who is trying to stroke the white cat from the demo level lol
Ive put in 8 hours on hard and still not done.
Still trying to get a handle on the parrying, the mechs, flying cyborgs, gorillas and giant hammer swinging guys have been whopping my ass. Sometimes I'll be fighting one guy and another will come up behind me, I try to parry them and fail every time. And the missles from those flying bastards are annoying in large groups.
Hnnnng. Mine got delivered at home today, but I wont be back till Monday or Tuesday. It's killin' me!

That fight was such a PITA. I definitely need to better my parrying skills before ever attempting that one again. :/

You have to buy the Dodge once it becomes unlocked (in the Skills section of the Customization menu).
After that, Square+X (plus a direction if you don't just want to go backwards).
Other than that, parrying is what you will mainly be doing.
Buy "Defensive Offense" as a skill. It's only 3000BP.
Tonight, I became a man. (Yep, it means I faced the frustration that comes with the endboss).

This is a fun game. Not Bayonetta-levels of fun, but crazy fun anyway.
The fight is easy, by the way. Just have to be near-perfect.The only stuff that kept me dying over and over and over again was the BLADE MODE parts. Seriously? Oh, and the fact that after every restart, I had exactly 0 rations and one single health line.Bah.

I've been trying to put my finger on it but yes, that's exactly it.
Oh btw in case anyone was wondering, George(the little kid)'s accent is one of the worse Guyanese accents I've ever heard, while it does have some elements to it, it veers off completely at times into gibberish that sounds like a mix of other accents.
But I guess that adds to the hilarity of the game.

ha ha Amen!
Hm, about the boss for R-04: did anyone else
.
not trigger the vocals when fighting Sundowner? I remember that he also swung pillars around at some point, with additional goons on the helipad joining the battle when watching the boss trailer. None of that happened for me...I don't think it was because of playing on normal, so maybe it was due to not cutting off his shield panels after opening him up? I just kept step slashing, using the dodge to avoid the blasts instead of spending much time being precise
Thanks man! Cause of that tip I now I finished the game.
Final boss aside, I like this game, a lot. And this is the first game ever I finished on Hard first too. I really digged the story and the enemies too. Kojima and Platinum really needs to follow this up. I really like seeing this post MGS4-world of MGS.

Yep, just about jumped out of my sheet when I discovered that for myself.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I just recall I got the dress suit and then lost it because I started a new difficulty. Anyway for me to do the prologue on Very Hard without losing my progress on my Hard playthrough?

This game needed better water graphics. That's the only jarring graphical issue I've had so far.

I think you can go to Chapter select, go to the prologue and set it to Very Hard. Although you will lose whatever checkpoint you're on
