I think he rikes my tweet.
Sweet! All of Platinum should celebrate this game. Cannot wait to see what he tweets about the last boss.
Best way to deal with projectile enemies quickly.

I was having some trouble no-damaging Sam on hard since I always choke up and get tagged by a stray hit here and there, so I went balls out and tried it on Revengeance, first try, 2 perfect parries later Sam was dead, I got the achievement and the whole fight took 40 seconds.
Yup, being polite and a team player.

I think I just might buy a couple of songs from the OST off Google Play. What bitrate and file format is the CD from there?
I bought it off Amazon and it's V0 MP3. No clue about Google Play.

Check to see if any other upgrades for weapons are toggleable first. I know moves are.
I don't think so. The description specifically mentions turning it on which is why I asked. Not sure if that just means buying it or not.

I remember the first chapter and a half feeling rather frustrated and underwhelmed by the game. Then parrying just clicked all of a sudden and made me feel like an incredible badass. At first I was annoyed because it didn't have a "hold whatever button to block"mechanic, but that mindset went away very quickly once I got swept up into the awesomeness of it all. Loved how the bosses MADE you learn to play right instead of being able to cheese them through random sword swipes.
Would be amazing if Grey Fox mask also

Considering MGS4 raiden is just prologue raiden with a helmet, they'd better put some sort of work into the skin
I'm playing through the game a second time and am watching every cutscene.
It would seem like a waste to simply skip them. They're so amazing.

I bet you it's right before he freight elevator in chapter 4. There is a small vent with one hidden in it right before you turn the corner to get on the elevator
Behind the fan? I got that one.
Here you go!
R-00 Guard Duty:
n/a
R-01 Coup d'Etat:
Before exiting the facility to fight Mistral, check the pair of ventilation fans to the right of the exit door. Break the fans to locate a balcony with this Blade Mode Box and the life up.
R-02 Research Facility:
Inside the room where Raiden sneaks through initially as a Dwarf Gekko. Complete the sneaking sequence, then as Raiden head up onto the catwalk to locate a Blade Mode Box containing this life up.
R-03 Mile High:
After leaving the dark subway tunnel and getting back on the streets, Raiden enounters three cyborgs a set of short stairs to the next area (which consists of long stairs). The life up is in a Blade Mode Box next to the base of the short stairs.
R-04 Hostile Takeover:
Before pushing the button to start Raiden's frentic freight elevator ride, check the ventilation duct in the hallway adjacent to the elevator shaft for a Blade Mode Box with the life up.
R-05 Escape From Denver:
Immediately after the first battle, check the grassy area to the "southeast" of the starting area (behind the World Marshal sign). The life up is in the Blade Mode Box. Remember that by disabling the mini-map from turning with your camera in the game's Option menu, you will have a rudimentary compass as the map will not turn with you.
R-06 Badlands Showdown:
n/a
R-07 Assassination Attempt:
At the exit to the hangar, there is a Blade Mode Box atop a tower of containers in the hangar's corner. Raiden needs to Ninja Run to a lower stack of containers, then Ninja Run and jump (normally) to catch the ledge to the life up.

Just did this last night. How did I not notice >.<.
MGS4 Raiden skin, though only slightly different, is still better than the Standard Body. Something about the lack of helmet/jaw just looks really odd to me.
Last boss was infinitely easier after a single play through and the game forcing me to learn to use Defensive Offense. I started on normal and probably should have skipped straight to Very Hard after that. My Hard play through was a breeze with upgrades.
I'm playing this game so much slower than everyone else in this thread though. 12 hour work days don't allow for much time.
I'm playing very hard and I can't get past the second part of the Senator battle. Beat the Metal Gear, got to the check point of him crushing your blade, but for some reason I can't trigger into the official battle again. He just kills me in 2 or 3 shots even when I parry. Didn't have that problem on normal or hard.
Hmm, I think it might be the one in R-05.

Don't parry, dodge instead.
Funnily enough, that was the exact same one I was missing.
It's odd too, considering I always check my surrounding thoroughly before proceeding, yet I missed that chest.
Just avoid him and he'll eventually go into that unblockable hit.
If it's me, then let me know.
You quoted the post I was talking about. I hope I don't sound like a dick. I just want people to experience the insanity for themselves and I'm pretty spoiler sensitive myself.
Can't do anything about the original post, but I tagged the quote.

Question about the last boss.
when he turns green what do I do? He seems to always flick my sword away when I try to use sword mode on him.

Just finished armstrong on very hard. I was trying to beat him with a non upgraded muramasa, no extra health and no extra blade mode/ripper guage. That was hella difficult. Did some BP farming and handed him his ass.
So that is the standard body unlocked.

Nanomachines, son.
I'm kinda disappointed we don't get to know what happens to Raiden (court martial ed?) at the end. But it's good to see that the Doc and Boris made good on helping Raiden save the kids by having the kids work for them when they come of age.

Is there a certain kind of cut you need to use? Usually when I do it,
even when the square lights up to show that I'm on the mark, he parries it anyway. Eventually I just back off and let him recover.

Did you see the post credits cutscene?
Not yet, guess I should head back there after the long ass credits finish and see it.

It really is too bad that they couldn't get a "quick switch" for the unique weapons into the game, but practically every button already had some kind of use already.
I'm thinking it would've been neat if they made it so that you had the option of choosing which combos from which weapons you wanted. Like, you can set it so that Triangle, Triangle ended with the HF blade, but Triangle, Square ended with the polearm. Then make Circle the button for the sai, and just disable it when specific prompts (stealth kills, computer interaction) pop up.

You have to be behind him for the square to appear. He should be stunned if you did it right.
I hope you're not one of those people that say in the same breath that mainline MGS games' cutscenes are unwatchable...

You can't skip the credits nor the after-credit cutscene, so what you just shut off the game the moment you hit the credits or something?
The credits were long to you? Damn. Didn't seem too long... (I'm just used to Ubisoft)
God, I know what you mean. 20 minute credits because everyone and their mothers worked on the game.
