Considering that it's like one of the best action games in forever, I'm not surprised.

Yeah, pretty much. You could have him fighting Metal Gear Gs and other prototype stuff. Dudes in powered suits, maybe, or other cyborg ninjas. Maybe there could be some twist on Zandatsu too.
My idea was to have the DLC start with the fist fight against Snake at the end of Metal Gear 2 (like R-00 your HUD would be different, like MG2's HUD, and of course you'd lose). It would then cut to you being revived by Dr. Clark, escaping your room, utterly destroying whatever is in your way until you get contacted by someone
(the player would later find out it's EVA)
Holy hell, you guys weren't kidding about the Fox Blade being broken. I just upgraded it all the way and dudes are in 6 pieces after just 2 light attacks from this thing. How does it fare in Revengeance mode? I assume the speed with which it kills would make it easier to get the No Damage bonus in most fights.
Nope, I just thought of that when I read your post. I had a vision in my head, of what I thought would work. The tagline, I was especially proud over. I'm glad you thought so as well.
Here's hoping it [eventually] becomes a reality.
Maybe...one day...
It is the best weapon against cannon fodder. Bosses are best handled with the Muramusa though since it is faster.
not bad

Ooooh. Gray Fox being "resurrected" could be a part of some initiative to recreate the greatest soldiers in cyborg form like what was done with
Mistral and Monsoon
Equip wig B + max out FOX blade + enter Ripper-mode = ?
I finally got past that fight...

I had to resort to using health items, and spam l'étranger in ripper mode. Man I'll need to get a lot better at this game if I ever want to get those S rankings...

Apparently, in the original draft of the story,
a resurrected, nanomachine-infused Volgin was going to be the final boss. That would have been interesting: Lightning vs Lightning.

Played up to Mistral
My eyes. My beautiful eyes. This game is madness!!!
Camera against the dog was awful

Oh wow, that would be gnarly. I feel like everything would fall in one swing.

So, can you skip through codec sequences for the cheevo? I've heard it both ways.

Fix'd.
You can skip them. I got the achievement 5 minutes ago and I maybe listened to 1 codec out of 10.

I just saw this conversation a few minutes ago. Bladewolf needs his own spinoff game now
Did you use the camera lock-on? In the demo, it auto-locks for you, but it doesn't do that in the full version for some reason.
TBH, I only have camera problems in this game when I'm near walls. Getting hit by stuff I can't see is my fault, but my parries getting fucked up because of a spastic camera near a wall isn't. =\
He's getting his own DLC in a month or so.
Also, fuck(last boss spoiler)
Armstrong. When he throws the debris at you I have no problem hitting the first one but for some reason I can never get the slash right on the second piece of debris. Anybody have any tips?
Use both sticks. You have to completely re-align yourself for those, not just slash with the right analog. Make sure you see the little crosses pop up in your reticule boxes.

Alternatively, you can just run straight when that happens to avoid it completely. But if you can successfully pull off the cuts, you can pick up some nano paste. And people have been saying they did the cut with 2 or 3 reticule boxes targeted.

Nope. I was pretty sure the camera in the demo was fine compared to final game but I didn't ask because it didn't occur to me.
How do I do it?
R2 on PS3, Right Bumper on 360 (IIRC).
You can cycle through targets with the right analog, too.
Thankfully the camera has always been relatively okay for me on that one, but I have had auto-attack lock on problems during the fight, seemingly more often than in any other area of the game thus far (though that may change with more playtime, surely). Aiming for its foot, Raiden? OKAY! TIME TO SLASH AT THE EMPTY SPACE BETWEEN ITS LEGS FOR NO REASON AT ALL
edit: This is probably just its tail and face messing things up, actually.
Best advice ever, managed to finally beat him before I go to bed. You are truly one of the great ones.

Armstrong fight is fine. the problem is those fucking boulders man. that's what got me killed so many times. i only did it once to get the health drops from it and after that I ran in front of them because i didn't want to deal with that shit anymore lol
He's getting his own playable DLC.

Congrats on beating one of the finest boss fights ever! Glad I was able to be helpful.

Does the machete parry differently than the other swords? I seem to much more consistently achieve parries with it.
And one of the best feelings is parrying the swordsmen's attacks four times in a row and launching them into the air for a zandatsu. Even better when you manage to parry attacks from them on both sides, then do it, though that's rare.
Is this a "A Bronx Tale" reference?

The only thing changed is faster and a shorter range.

I didn't realize that VR 18 was pretty much OHKO on you, I almost beat it on my first try but the revelation is mindfucking me on the attempts afterwards. Still, it doesn't seem so bad.

If this game were a person, I'd marry it.
Hell, can I marry it now anyway?

I pronounce you man and cyborg ninja game.
Doubt it, but it might be easier for them to get deals to make the games that will.
YO FUCK THAT FIRST GRAD FIGHT ON VERY HARD
Seriously the camera.
THE CAMERA
WONT SOMEONE THINK OF THE CAMERA
Somehow still got an A but still. Jesus. I couldn't stop laughing. Two of them are skating around firing rockets and their machine guns non-stop. Camera can't keep track.

Jamming grenades can actually effect normal enemies very well, using one allows you to get right in their face before they can go into alert mode.
It buys you time to get a jump on enemies before they enter alert mode basically.
Right off the bat use a electronic grenade on the boss version, enter ripper mode and kill the non boss grad before the boss one is unstunned. Makes the fight a lot easier.

That fight made me realize that ripper mode + pincer blades must be just a bit too powerful considering you can destroy the none-boss GRAD in one hit.
If Ninja Theory can do it, clearly Platinum Games should... right?

Ninja Theory I can only assume has incriminating evidence and continues to get contracts through blackmail or something.
Yeah I'll definitely do that instead when doing my S rank run before using the Sai to cheese the boss version.

That gamestop preorder artbook is actually pretty nice considering it's just a bonus item. I'm almost tempted to remove some of the pages and frame them.
Come on now. That last game wasn't that bad. I like both for separate reasons, and I'm sure this topic has been covered a dozen times.
Plus Metal Gear characters are much cooler looking than DMC ones. remake or normal.
Regardless of what you think of their games (I think DmC was good), they keep selling like shit. At least Grasshopper games are dirt cheap to make, NT always have AAA budgets yet never meet sales objectives.
