Just beat the game. So many great moments. Platinum delivered once more.
Not a clue, sir. Sorry!
Play-Asia is listing a PC version of Rising for preorder... is this just an assumption by them, or is there really a PC version in the works?

Nah, it's nowhere near as super crazy as the English version seems to be, but it certainly has its own wacky charm. It's still pretty funny IMO.
I'm not gonna get my hopes up, and am entirely unsure if I would double dip if true.
Not sure how I've just realized that, but pretty much everything up to chapter 6 is a closed whole, maintaining generally the same balance of epic to serious to funny - and then there's the Chapter 7, which is there pretty much just to provide everything with a more conclusive story ending and the wackiness levels go through the roof. But from now on, I'll just consider Chapter 6 as the proper ending.

Not going to lie. While the last boss was pretty epic and yet goofy, part of me did wish that the game had ended at Chapter 6.

Yep. Free is awesome! I met her a few years back at a KidneyThieves show (awesome band btw, check them out if you like her voice or industrial stuff) through one of my best friends that ended up collaborating with her.

Thank you 8-4. Can't stand your podcast, but you do good work.
Well, in hindsight, that's all fine and dandy.
From my perspective, all I am seeing is a boss that does 2HKOs and doing attacks while I can't even see what the fuck he's doing with all this fire everywhere.
Would prefer pc release of MGS4. Don't care how big the digital download is.
Yeah I'd double dip too though.
Also, just made the transition from finishing Hard (my second playthrough) to Very Hard (my third). Jesus H the prologue. Its......very hard. I'm not the best at counter anyway. Not to mention, Ray can take you down in two hits. I had him down to 9.8% and he got in a lucky jab I couldn't avoid. Turned off. Bed. Try again tomorrow.

I think everything about this boss is pretty fair, since you will learn the patterns and when to dodge/run/counter.
But the fire is bullshit because it temporarily restricts the area you can move inand you can get juggled off it if you get hit when near it.

Here's the thing I don't dislike it but I feel the vocals were unnecessary. Before I played the game I envisioned it sounding like 80s cheesy action movie mixed with the crazy high intensity of old school action games like mega man and contra and shit.

You gotta be Luke Sky with the blast shield down.
He may destroy your body and mind in that section, but remember: a soul can't be cut.
Then you do not get hit.
yup he was basically perfect
Welp. Thanks anyway. I'm sure Konami will put the shit up eventually for purchase. I just hope I don't have to wait too long when the actual DLC packs come out later on.
Oh man fuck the final boss.
Guide says to "jump over him" when he's doing his grapple. I jump, I still get grabbed somehow?
Doesn't help that whenever I'm starting to make some progress, he starts pulling out some bullshit (fire columns to restrict movement in the stage, then more fire columns or point blank AOE).

Defensive offense instead. Eff jumping.

^that. do it twice in a row during the area attack.
Be aggressive and try to stagger him if you don't want to deal with his FIREWORKS SHOW OF AMERICA.

fuck these fucking vr missions
why in the blue fuck is the camera so close to raiden's ass
am i fucking proctologist or something

Fuck that guide. Just shout 'Meep meep!', fire up ninja run, and let him hug the air. Once you figure out how the grapple start-up looks like, it's really easy to avoid it with ninja run.

Putting distance between the two of you, then waiting and dodging left or right at the last moment worked well for me.
Edit: beaten like a Gekko
I want to second that Free is awesome. Best dinner date you could ever hope to have.

I know that the dodge has a a parry built into it, can the dodge be used consecutively for multiple hit attacks?
BTW - To shill for a friend - Free's solo album is going to be awesome. She was playing some stuff for me and it sounds amazing. Pre-order it and support great, independently financed and produced music. http://freedominguez.com/

proctologist. lmao he's so right there too. i'm in love with this game but oh god imagine what it could have been without the super-close camera. sequel better happen...with some improvements too.
Nanomachines.
I keep zig-zagging between blade mode being awesome and blade mode being crap
if only it was psychic and knew the ways i wanted to cut instead of me just waggling right stick like craaaaaaaazy
works most of the time but every once in a while a line goes through the box but you don't get to e zendatsu

I really want to know how the Japanese version compares to some of that wacky shit now. I'm surprised nobody has compiled documentation of the differences yet.

So I wanted the No Damage achievement for
... does dying during a QTE affect this or does it not? I accidentally died before the hand to hand fighting.
Also, how do I know when it's safe to be hit during the hand to hand combat? I didn't get the achievement but these are the only two things that I can think of that prevented the pop up.

Man, I've tried all of you guys' advice for dodging the grab. Sometimes Raiden will just dodge right into a grab, sometimes it will miss, but he will turn faster than I can react in mid-dodge and grab anyway.
Ugh, I do not see how I can keep this up for 200% of a health bar with no health items while he can pretty much kill me in a few hits.

You'll manage.
If you were accustomed to the dodge already it would make more sense. It's all about timing, you can dodge directly at the boss and still have him miss due to the i-frames. Try doing it later than you think you need to or do it twice. It also responds to directional input, so you can hold back and do it to have raiden hop backwards away from the grab. I usually did it sideways though.
Final boss? I didn't know about the directional dodge version of offensively defensive whatever until after I finished the game. Just jump away, 100% success rate.
I think you need to no damage every single part of the fight. I no damaged the last part on hard and got royally pissed that it didn't pop up.
(I would also like an answer to this question though)

Yes. You cannot take damage during any of the three stages of the fight. What really sucks is that it's super easy to get hit during the second phase, which will automatically start a checkpoint and initiate the third phase. You can finish the second phase without taking damage. The boss will do an unavoidable area attack that will knock you into the third phase... no damage will be reflected on your health bar.
I take it the key to doing that is dodging continuously? Seeing as parries during the first part literally just sponge damage.
Crimsonclaw111

I thought this was the case but I didn't take any damage except for the single "mandatory" hit. When am I suppose to know when I can be hit? Because I did part 1 (sword to hand) with no damage, part 2 (hand to hand) with the single hit, which began part 3 (final fight), which I also no damaged.
EDIT: never mind, answered above. That blows really hard.
