I got 23/30 my first time through. Not sure which ones I missed.

Me too. Rising's bosses are some of the best I've ever seen in my 20 years of gaming. Really wish they were easy to rematch. I'd come back to the game every now and then to play them.
I mean, HOLY FUCK MONSOON WHEN YOU'RE PARRYING THE SHIT OUT OF HIM. FUCKING BRILLIANT. AND DAT MUSIC.
I kind of love how the game is so short. I've beaten it on Easy, Normal, and Hard. Did Hard first, went through Easy/Medium to unlock the chapters in chapter select and to get BP. Going to try Revengeance S ranks next now that my Fox Blade is in good shape. The brisk length makes replays really enjoyable. I know that I can beat it in 2-3 hours. Game never drags either.
Same, I missed some optional battles, and one of the guys you knock out with the Dwarf Gecko has one as well that I completely missed on my first playthrough.

The music is lovable. My favorite is Mistral's. The Boss fights are great too...
My only complaint is the messy camera... And maybe a little more deep combat system, altough I even have grasped the basics in my first walkthrough....
I so fucking need Gifs of the final boss battle if this game...

I've got this arriving tomorrow almost solely based off the demo and how insane and intense it felt.
I'm not a huge fan of hack and slash games, and I'm really not a MGS fan either but something about this really pulled me in - I even replayed the demo numerous times in an attempt to get 'S' rank on certain sections. It does seem pretty tough though, as I take a lot of damage from the mechs/end of demo despite setting it on 'Easy' although that might just be my inexperience with the genre. I've read that people have found it frustrating even on normal, so I might play through on easy to begin with, and then i'll have an incentive to replay on a harder difficulty while going for better combat scores.
Hopefully the plot is fun without being too overbearing. Should I expect hours of cutscenes? Not that I'm overly fussed as long as they're entertaining, because the core gameplay feels so damn satisfying.

Kojima stories were always comic stories and I'm not saying that as criticism, but they were always crazy action shit happening and supervillians. This game just goes all the way in the craziness and even acknowledges it.

There's two modes to the lamp: lightning and LED's; just LED's.
I thought mine was busted the 2nd time I turned it on and there was no lightning, but I flipped the switch down, instead of up, and just turned on the LED's.
If it really is broken, contact Konami/where you bought it, for a replacement.

I'm in deep shit (File R-04 Spoilers)
Sundowner boss battle and I have no nano-paste, help!
Did you go toe-to-toe with him or use that exploit of just forcing him to dash at you over and over? That's how I won, but I took damage because of the camera close to invisible walls.
Should have gone all in on Revengeance!

stay behind him so you don't have to deal with the shield attack. Block his orange back shield attack and dodge his red blow. Rinse and repeat. He's REALLY easy with this tactic

The custom weapons replace your kick/heavy attacks
Okay thanks, I thought I was still seeing my heavy attacks sometimes, so that's why I was confused I guess.
Which is kinda stupid. I dunno why they didn't make them a "main weapon" like Ninja Gaiden's weapon selection.
Again another thing they could copy from the king of the Action genre but didn't for the sake of "being different" but just being clunky as hell with it.
So weird to be hacking with light attacks and then doing a huge sweeping attack with strong attack for having that Dwarf Gekko weapon equipped.

In the Rex fight early on I remember not taking any perceivable damage but not getting the bonus. I think what actually happened was I got hit by a stray bullet during its sprays and unknowingly healed myself when it dropped some health items.
I'm looking at my health during the fight and restart if I get hit, so it can't be that.

Are you one of those peoples who believe that Resident Evil 4 should have "move while shooting" and Bionic Commando should have a jump button?

Final boss surprisingly satisfying, definitely needs some adjustment before you can beat him.
Overall the game is awesome, no real complaints, except maybe chapters 5/6 should have been lumped into one.
Platinum should keep this up, seriously. I might even go back and re-playe bayonetta and vanquish now. These guys are damn good at making really fun, engaging games with rewarding learning curves.
Can't wait to see what they put out on next gen platforms.

Not an excuse. Bayonetta has pretty much a perfect camera.
And it's not like MGR's camera is totally broken. If it's pulled back a few feet, raised up just a bit, and phases THROUGH the environment instead of bumping up against walls it would be great. It's a bit squirrely right now.
that part remind me of the theater mode in MGS3 , joke ending when big boss didn't hand shake the president and the president kicked his ass

The voice acting is atrocious.
just played through REVENGEANCE.
Easily the GOTY for me.
Played it through in one go, because i was hyped for it since the VGA11.
So, i have to admit, the graphics werent that good, 60fps was not always granted(especially in the last few sections of the game the framerate went completly down to around the infamous 18fps)
And my biggest issue: the camera.
Oh gawd, how much i hated it when i got spotted by the stupid soldiers. most of the time it was the fault of the camera or the strange controlling mechanism.
But still, i enjoyed it to the fullest. how much i was hyped for nearly 2 years.... wow
such a good feeling, after beating it in one row.
and here is a screenshot of the last screen: i love these kind of statistics, how good or how bad you were.
and the time: it took me 13 hours to finish this game, but it only shows you nearly 6 hours... kind of strange....
wow, will fight through this game once more with my DLC shit.
oh yeah, and the doc in the game, his german is quite good and the accent is hilarious!
and some of the dialogues.... wow, i loved this kind of trash-talk... hahaha

But that's pretty much the most polished and refined action game to date.
I honestly didn't have much of a problem with MGR's camera, its not that difficult to deal with. It can be frustrating when it gets too close and is hard to locate enemies, but it doesn't happen that often.
IMO Rising's only problem is that PlatinumGames' didn't have enough time to perfect it.
The only cutscenes I didn't bother to skip my second time around. Seriously, that character is up there as one of the more ridiculously entertaining in the series.
When he helps Raiden up and dusts him off and then embraces him like a prodigal son I lost my shit. Senator Hulk must come back in a sequel, somehow.

The camera can be dealt with, certainly. It doesn't break the game, you just have to control it, a lot, or risk being beat down. It's still the first thing they should address on a hypothetical sequel.

That entire part was entertaining as hell. Even the start
when he activates Hulk mode with a sumo stomp, are you kidding me.
what is this blade, and where do i get it?
i just got
muramasa
well the camera is not broken, but i felt, that it was less good than in bayonetta.
also the lock-on button didnt work out well.
The FOX Blade is the gamestop preorder bonus DLC that was included with the Grey Fox skin.
