I paid good money for this Dynex!
Hmm... I didn't use the codec at all... now I'm kinda curious.
Feel like I might need to go through the game for a third game, on very hard this time...

Brandon, did you beat the final boss yet? It feels good man.

So I'm guessing the Fox Blade is the strongest sword? I almost feel cheap when using it.
Credits rolling. Quite an easy game on normal indeed. Dying once at the final boss is the only time I remember. And while I was arguing for the length of the game, it was still shorter than I expected... the only thing I didn't do was listen to random codecs.
Edit: oh, I forgot about VR missions. I didn't do any of those either.
4:39 final clock time.

The codec in this game is insane, there's more stuff here than in any other Metal Gear game.
It's why I'm so surprised to hear everyone saying MGR is a bit on the short side. I'm still only on chapter 3, since there's a good 15 minutes of new codec calls after every checkpoint.
Whoa, what is that food?? Looks amazing!I'm back!
YOLO!

Kill him
Use a shock grenade after he throws cars and helicopters at you. He'll get stunned and you can damage his head with blade mode

The only character I called at all during my first playthrough was
His conversations were pretty fun
Bladewolf.
I'm a bit late responding to this, but yes, I was thinking the same thing.
The poutine is a meal that started here in Quebec.
It's quite simple, fries, chunks of cheese and gravy. (Looks less like shit without all that spaghetti sauce heh?)
Since it started there's now a LOT of variations, like my italian one up there, you can have sausages in it, meat, etc.
Call Doktor more his stuff is amazing and some stuff Raiden says is great it like MGS3 with Snake and Para Medic when she rambles on
I want Japanese audio just so I don't have to listen to him.

I'm back!
YOLO!
did you take a shit on some fries
Oh, poutine! I'm in the U.S., not far from the Canadian border, and a friend hooked me up with the necessary ingredients (curds, etc). GOOD STUFF.Poutine is a meal that started here in Quebec.

Btw, guys, Taco Bell has a Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco coming out.
Erm, wait, this is the Metal Gear Rising thread. BACK ON TOPIC.

I'm probably gonna play the whole Metal Gear series again soon because it's been a long time. I feel like I probably wouldn't get a lot of the references anyway. I'll do a slower run focused on listening to all the codec calls after that, probably

I just realized that Dystopia makes an absolute mockery of the Mastiffs.

Having to go back to previous chapters to farm health items is the dumbest thing I've ever seen in an action game. I loved the demo of this game but my God, this game is shit. I have never been more disappointed in a game as I have this one, the highs are like 8/10 at best, and the lows are the lowest of the low. As soon as this is completed it's going straight back for store credit.
I never, ever, did this. On normal, hard or very hard.

You are literally doing....everything wrong
You can farm because you're bad at the game, yes.

Just finished up.
Pretty fun. It really stepped up the crazy, making the other MG games look calm and restrained by comparison, which is a real feat.
Quick question: After finishing the game and starting a new playthrough on the file, do you get all of the skills you unlocked from the last time? I started the first mission and was back to bear bones, but figured it might happen in the next level when you unlock customization.

I love the conversation with Kev before the Mistral fight. That sly dog.
I don't understand how people can be this bad at videogames.
So...is there any reason not to use a custom weapon along side your main blade, or any situations where you are restricted only to blade use? The only thing I dont like about custom weapons is that they seem to restrict your main weapon use by taking away the different strong attacks.

As long as you don't pick New Game. Just use Chapter Select to start another mission, or Continue starts you at the prologue again. New Game will reset all your stuff I think
But yeah you don't get access to all your stuff until after the prologue
The prologue is always going to be bare bones, so dont worry about ...just dont click on new game, just continue and choose a different difficulty

It's only in the first mission.
Just don't select a new game (this will delete your progress)

I wish that Best Buy gave you the Fox Blade. I feel left out and like the game will be way more difficult for me when I play on hard.
What the fuck game are you playing? I had a rough go of things to start, but once you learn how to parry and Zandatsu its gravy. I think I've used a health item once?

Not really. Its solely your choice. I either use a main blade alone or with the pole arm. I haven't experimented much with the sais or the pincer blades.
If you Zandatsu an enemy, you get damn near full health restore. I dont think i've ever had to use paste manually (have it auto set like MGS rations), and even when auto used, its during a boss battle.
I guess I could just switch it up if a new move looks cool/sounds useful, or tailor make for specific playthroughs.
Heh I always get like this when I have too many choices that are equally good.

I had gotten a title for beating the game only with a blade if people are hunting for those.
