Playing on hard, about 75% through I guess and this game has the worst checkpoints, worst camera and the most annoying enemies of any game I've played in a long time. I think the awful shitty camera plays a part in the enemies being more annoying than they should be though. What a disappointment this is.

Just beat it. Final boss was completely insane.
Going to start over on VH now, but I still really don't understand how you're meant to get a no damage bonus on some of these encounters where there are enemies shooting guns and rockets or flamethrowers at you with the camera constantly moving around to point towards Raiden
the part where you have to zandatsu him with the giant metal gear leg or whatever

The camera can be weird as fuck at times

Should be fun

Thought this was appropriate to share..

sites banned -__- but( suposedly) these are some some snippets of note, i guess google for the full scoop:
"Honestly, Ive been making games for over 25 years and the state that this game was in when it went to Platinum... was really a mess! The fact that they were able to pull it off is very impressive," said Kojima on the troubled development process for Metal Gear Rising. He added that his one worry about Platinum taking on the job was its reputation for taking its time with projects.
"Platinum makes excellent games, theres no arguing about that - but theyre not very good at honouring schedules," he laughed. "I made it clear that in order to succeed on a worldwide scale, you not only have to make a good product, but you also have to keep a tight schedule. This time, they came through and delivered the product on time. I think even [Hideki] Kamiya-san was surprised!"
"Really, Platinums team is great at creating action games. They do it better than anyone else. I love them personally, as individuals... and now theyre able to do things to schedule as well! Thats very important.
You can feel the love..
i really really want a sequel to happen.
just thinking about how insane it can get..
props to the original blade on foot assassin.

There should be some emphasis on the lock-on in the OT, along with basic camera control. You have to proactively work with the camera, especially in harder difficulties once off-screen projectiles become an issue, but as long as you stay away from the edges of the stage where you run into the problem of the camera not being able to phase through walls and try to actively manipulate the camera, it's manageable overall.
Enemy aggression is increased on Very Hard and Revengeance, right? Fighting multiple Mastiffs wasn't a problem on Hard but it's a total nightmare on Very Hard. I'm loving the smoke grenades against packs of tough mobs, though, makes you feel very ninja-like, and actually much safer than EM grenades.

You're thinking of another attack.
His charge-up yellow grab is unblockable and you'll just get punished for trying to parry it. He does, however, have a charge up fire punch he does with his left arm instead of his right (which is the one he uses for all the fire pillar attacks). If he does THAT move and you don't interrupt it, it triggers the QTE that's basically free damage.
I spent a LONG time trying to figure out how I triggered it once and getting hit by the grab until I realized they were two different attacks.

Anyone else pick up one of those 2gig usb's shaped like the HF sword?
I managed to snag one off ebay for 10 bucks with free shipping because no one else bid ha. It looks like a neat little collectible. It comes with a song on it, I think the MG excelus theme. Not the best deal for a usb but it still seems like a cool thing to have.

I need help. Anyone have tips for beating Monsoon on Hard without taking damage? I want the trophy but I'm about to put my controller through a wall since this fight has no checkpointing. I can reliably get past the part where he throws that huge chunk of rubble at you, but I can't figure out how to get close enough when he starts using his long range sai attack.

the emp grenades will snap him out of that, you gotta get him before he starts tossing sai

I know about using the grenades, it's just that I can't get close enough for them to hit him. Parrying EVERYTHING is hella hard.
When he said Job Creators I lost it.

Arghh. Final boss is fucking me off SO FUCKING MUCH. I haven't got any nanopaste and everytime he throws something I can get the first slice off then the camera is in the completely wrong fucking place for the second slice. I then die EVERY FUCKING TIME. Fuck this shit. Haven't even got this cunt below 150% health.

Nuh uh, Onimusha first!
I love Platinum more than most and they do make the best action games, but I think they have a particular style and that the constant desire for every game to be made by them isn't the best idea.
It would be nice to see how they handle other genres, though. Platinum Gantz and then some sort of fast mech game, please.
Also apparently Amazon shipped me the guide today that I don't even remember buying? The hardcover one. Here's hoping it's...good!

So, 've had several people tell me to buy the roll move, but how do I do that. I'm almost at the end of chapter 4 and I still don't see it listed in my moves or skills or anywhere in the customization screen.

I was doing this in the demo but only when my parry failed and I was just blocking. Never bothered trying it when a successful parry came out :0

I wouldn't mind seeing a new Onimusha. But, I'm not sure if I'd want it to be an over the top action game. I liked the original style.
It's called Defense Offense, and it's not so much a roll as it's Raiden jumping out of harm's way with a cheeky little sneak attack. It's pretty useful.
Yep. As long as you tap the dodge during the block flash, you'll cancel into the dodge.
I haven't really posted in here that much despite Revengeance being my most anticipated game of 2013, but I just wanted to stop by now that I've gone through normal, some of hard, and the first two chapters of Revengeance.
I'm in love.
I can see why some people wouldn't like certain things, but I feel incredibly blessed to fall exactly into MGR's target audience. Any of its shortcomings mean little to me, and its strengths conversely mean so much. The demo didn't assuage any of my fears about the final product (it actually made me even more worried), yet the full game has addressed nearly everything I wanted it to.
Combat never feels monotonous. Cutting never gets old. Bosses are amazing. The pacing is great, with fights being broken up well by stealth sections and mild exploration. VR missions are lovely. There's so much to unlock, with some things requiring actual effort. Each weapon is distinct and fun to use. There are plenty of ways to vary your approach to the same scenario with different strategies or items/equipment. You can spam triangle to skip through intrusive codec conversations once the game's been loaded. I adore the music. I love all the settings (really). The story is okay and doesn't make me feel gross like MGS4's did after it was over. The difficulty modes are done so, so right (remixed enemies who are more aggressive and inflict more damage--Revengeance is nuts; stuff is actually dangerous, and I wouldn't have it any other way).
Everything just feels fabulous and satisfying--the game creates its own itch that can't be scratched by anything else. I know that sounds weird, but it's very important for games to do this, to create a craving.
There are some less than bright spots, though. The camera can sometimes conspire with the occasionally finicky auto-targeting and make some situations a little annoying every now and then, but I just got done playing through Ninja Gaiden Black and Sigma Plus (and some of NG2 and half of Razor's Edge) in prep for this game, so I don't really care. It doesn't bother me that much. Also, the chapter structuring is kind of wonky near the end of the game, but the content is fine. The campaign is short but sweet. Clear time has been a hot topic for a lot of people, but things like Mega Man X/Zero, Portal, SMB3/SMW, fighting games, and Cave shmups are some of my all-time favorites, so I'm not the kind of person to be disappointed by MGR's length. I would've been upset if the game felt artificially padded out (though
); nothing seems repetitive or like a retread of previously introduced ideas, regardless if anything is actually repeated.
I played both versions of the same 20-minute demo for around 50-60 hours, no joke, so I'm going to get a lot of mileage out of this sucker.
The LE lamp is nice, btw, but there are two bits of plastic in the base I can't get out that are driving me nuts, lol.
I'm in love.

the Mistral/Monsoon re-fight does seem like padding, I'd like to point to Mega Man again

Imma be honest. I feel like we got Revengeance one hardware generation too soon.
Someone here has the tag "erotic butter maelstrom." I don't understand the context, but it's a good analogy for this game.
The "erotic" is how sexy and stylish everything is.
The "butter" is the smoothness -- the silky framerate, the fluid slicing and dicing.
The "maelstrom" is all the crazy action.
Oh yes.
