God Hand.
Kinda, I guess. No harm done in playing it.

Just bought this. I am beyond hyped. This is the first time I've bought a game on release day for full price in over a year, I'm normally very frugal. But I love Metal Gear and Platinum Games so wanted to show some love and support. The demo was incredible, the use of music at the end mind-blowing. I hope for many moments like that in the game. Should have pre-ordered, but eh! Bring it on! (Of course now I have to wait for it to download a 65mb update on the painfully slow PSN)
BENEATH THE BLOOD STAINED SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAaaAaAaAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDD
I agree it's so fucking awesome.
You are in for a treat, sir.

dat cam quality. The camera does act up at time during that. It's a nice video. Hoping to see more, hopefully be quality as well XD, in the future.
Same here, I have this line stuck in my head.
"STANDING HEREEEE" always seemed to come up
when I was waiting for the boulder to be thrown at me
If God Hand is in... why not include Anarchy Reigns?
WHAT THE FUCK?!??
Might actually buy the re-release then.

Anyone notice Sam has an attack from the DMC games. I think its vergils from DMC3.
Sheaths muramasa then a arc cloud of slashes appear in front of him.

I don't know what is called but the move is not particularly exclusive to DMC - its in most movie/game japanese sword fights.

At at the leg not the gecko. Once the parry/block mechanic clicks you will find yourself having much more fun.
Easiest way to score higher is just to remember two things.
Take Less Damage
More Zandatsu

You can unlock that move too, though it's not quite as powerful

I always use it when LQ84-i and Mistral are jumping down from their perches.
It was also the last attack I used on Sam before the final QTE started.
Otherwise, I haven't touched it much.
I know right, after playing through the demo on a daily basis I paid 70€ for the European steelbook without comparing prices because I wanted to be sure that it got delivered early - I buy full price games maybe once a year. It was more than worth it.

God of War series for similar aggression only -tactics
Castlevania Lords of Shadow too, just play on Hard to get a challenge.
Well, I figured taking no damage would help, but what about avoiding enemies? I just passed the first part with a gekco, but I simply killed every RPG guy in the second bit and then I could avoid the geckos. Will this give less score or better?
Another example is three guys in the beginning of the island when Raiden arrives there. I kill them without any problem, but my rating is still B. Should I just focus on holding L1 -> Zandatsu while not taking damage? It's not that easy since enemies tend to attack my back then and that will reduce the score as well
And that's only on normal difficulty.And I'm still not sure how to parry a gecko. The thing starts to run at me and I guess I have to press the joystick in his direction and square right when he's about to bash me? Them geckos also have a leg attack though, which I can't seem to parry.
God I hate Amazon's MP3 services. Just about every album is locked to US or UK. I really want to buy this but I have no way of doing such. Guess I'll just have to listen to the soundtrack on YouTube for now and buy the physical release from Play-Asia later unless it pops up on iTunes.
Yeah, it's pretty circumstantial. I've only really used it in very specific situations.
Yesterday I screwed myself out of a No Damage bonus due to a mid-battle checkpoint (collectible left-arm auto-save), but I was determined to get a perfect sheet S-Rank in that battle because it was so far into an already flawless chapter. The checkpoint saved the time I already took, too, so I had to do the fight extra fast while also somehow getting the full Zandatsu bonus, but the energy absorption animation for every required enemy literally took longer than the time I had left to work with.
The only way I managed to succeed was to utilize Quick Draw like the Pincer Blades, holed up in a corner with four guys running at me in order to get a quadruple Zandatsu during a single blade mode. The Pincer Blades wouldn't have been able to do this. I also needed to use Mistral's staff for the combo bonus ASAP, so it all worked out after a million tries.
I imagine Quick Draw might be useful for some specialized HF blade stuff like stun or armor breaking assuming it takes on the properties of the blade. I've never tried using it during Ripper Mode, either, but I haven't really used Ripper Mode much at all.

Was trying to save some cash this week but I finally cracked and bought this, should be here tomorrow...
The last couple days I haven't been able to stop playing the demo so I thought I should just buy it. I remember first playing it at Eurogamer Expo and absolutely hating it, mostly due to the parry system. Thinking back now, a 15 minute time limit demo with no tutorial is no way to learn the intricacies of the parry system, and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I've since been able to get some practice down with the demo and it's so satisfying when you pull off a perfect parry. So yeah, hope I'm going to enjoy it. Heard it's super short though...

Man I loved this track. Turned of any other sound effects at my second try. Awesome kick in at the battle

We in there, baby!
I do that for almost every game that has a kickass soundtrack and I think it's practically mandatory for MGR. My audio settings are 5/5/10.
Hold x, then let go. It's the attack that Sam used for cutting off Raiden's arm. I was listening to a codec conversation earlier which explained that Sam's sword uses an explosive device so it practically shoots out of the sheath.
Fox it one shots anything at max level

Wow @ the final boss. In both hilarity and getting my ass stomped.

I do. I didn't even know that you could mash X or Y for horizontal and vertical slashes. I usually do adjustments with both the left and right analog.

fox blade on non-boss characters, it one shots everything, it's like a lightsaber cutting through butter
Muramasa for bosses. It's faster than the Fox Blade, so it does more damage-per-second
That is exactly how I feel right now. Definitely the hardest part of the game so far for me, which is appropriate
I always used the stick no idea could use face buttons until late in game. could be why I had little issue with end boss and the cutting rocks

I've always used manual cutting since the demo since the buttons seemed mostly pointless to me with it's lack of angles.

I tried him 10X already and just can't beat him...not even close. Im getting SNK final boss kinda ass whooping right now.
doesn't help that I only have 2 health cell left after the Metal Gear battle
For general combat there is no real benefit to using manual cutting, it's a lot slower for a start, you can't rack up the combos like you can with the face buttons.
As soon as I realised this I gave up manual slicing except for going for left arms and when as a last ditch attempt when face buttons have missed the spine-squares.
thats better then me first time i had no health paste
the boss gives you a chance he will start a throwing contest at 150% do it successfully you get 4 nano paste to heal with.
Mike Hagger becomes way more easier after
hey_it's_that_dog
benevolent sexism
Thanks for this!
150-160%
I've repeated it to try and no damage him so many times now that I've memorised it.
Someone help me.
