Okay thanks! I'll try to get them then. Hopefully I manage to get them done before tomorrow mid-day.
The final playtime for my platinum was 28:02 if that helps.

Yeah, it does. Felt kinda awkward for the first half of the first chapter, but then it clicked. Loving it now.
Have you heard any of Andrew W.K.'s renditions of Gundam songs?

Nope. My only exposure to Andrew WK is through ATHF.
And here I thought I was the only one (I certainly haven't missed them all these years).
It never felt like it slowed the pace down for me. The feedback you get from the game, satisfyingly slicing them to bits, and ending it with a Zandatsu to only then parry or start attacking another guy keeps the pace high and intense.
The demo is only a small sampling of encounters and truthfully doesn't represent how fast paced the game can get when you have all your skills, custom weapons, and blade upgraded later on in the game when there's way more enemies and action flying around everywhere.
The pace never slowed down for me because of Blade Mode or anything. It only slowed down when I got hit repeatedly for screwing up.

Thanks for the advice. How is no kills possible? I think I even saw a trophy that said something about no kills. Yeah, I still don't know and I am on my third playthrough.

Hmm, I thought that the laser was only for the rocket guys. Thanks.
I'll check later, but I still think that they weren't well designed
Or maybe I'm just playing this like Bayonetta.
Enemies will disappear after a while if you chop up their legs. There's also the wooden sword that also makes them disappear.

WHO CARES
pretty sure it's not even the same guy, try not to read too much about Andrew W.K. and the conspiracy surrounding his real identity or you'll go insane

So he's like some kind of awesome cocktail of Jesus, Paul McCartney and Grizzly Adams?

Sure! He also does some children's TV show hosting and is openly brony.

I thought PSN got exclusive VR missions? all I see is the MGS4 raiden
Not immediately you don't. You still have to wait for them to come out.
Not out yet.

They expect you to do that shit in 1:30:00.
Is that a... jpg... gif???
Also, If you're Australian but not in Australia, can you access Australian PSN to download the Gray Fox DLC? Does your account being Australian make a difference?

Exclusive DLC for PS3 in NA, other regions also get it for both PS3 and 360.
Edit: quintuple teamed

Seems like an all-around nice guy. I'd like to hang out with him

Exactly how prevalent is the effin' stick-waggle QTE throughout the game? Why is Platinum wanting to punish me for looking after my electronic equipment and manipulating my hands in a civilised manner?
The wiggling is exclusively for escaping grabs, I think there's only one mandatory sequence of it.
It depends on the region of your PSN account.

Also of note, EU, JP and AU DLC are mostly counted as one region, NA is another.

Keep ninja running and jumping. Dodging also helps when you know a rocket is coming.
Quick, spam EM grenades!

Oh, OK, thanks. My friend looked on PSN for the DLC and didn't see it, even though when she chose "Australian" when making her account.
Is it true that it gets more difficult for each consecutive grab for each enemy? Mastiffs are terrifying on Very Hard, don't even want to think about Revengeance. And then their drop-attack that can phase through walls...

You can throw a smoke or electric grenade and try to take them out. If they're patrolling, use the box for cover and try to sneak up on them.
When you get stunned (by getting hit a lot), when a Mastiff (the gorilla-like enemies) grabs you, and when a Gekko grabs you. Otherwise, it's kind of not forced, it just happens.
It's the part where you can't sneak up on anyone. You can't sneak in to the area. The guys with rockets are on the roofs of buildings and don't come down for like a minute of firing. And if you get hit with one, 3 more are coming right after it with no time to recover.

Thanks, guys. Are all of these instances reasonably avoidable?
This whole time, I've thought you guys were talking about how hard the Sam fight was. I got to there, beat it on first try and said, "Is that it?". Little did I know the shitstorm that awaited me afterwards, WTF. Trying to do this battle with no nano paste is terrible, the damn mech took all of them. I can tell I might be stuck here for a while.

Smoke grenades with quick throw are actually quite helpful and awesome. I still think selecting/using sub-weapons should be more fluid though. Their effectiveness is fine as none of them overpower the main weapons, but that coupled with their (lack of) ease-of-use makes them barely useful overall.
The ones listed, yes.
If you dodge/parry a lot, yes.
Once you reach the checkpoint, just start->restart. Free health pack.

Both enemies glow yellow when attempting the grab, which means you can't parry it. I would ninja run and dodge these attacks.

100 pages complete... Any other OTs stil on gaming side this long, or has this thread left them all behind?

Fire Emblem is at 274 pages.
It's PG and Metal Gear all in one game, what did you expect? Heh.
Trying to S-rank the final boss is a nightmare. Anyone have any tips for this shit? The grab attack is the only thing that hits me at this point. It's so fucking unpredictable. Sometimes it's instant, sometimes it's delayed, and sometimes it continues to follow me after I dodge it. It's fucking ridiculous. I usually dodge it by Ninja Running away to make some space between us and dodging it. But when it's instant that shit doesn't work and there's no way to see it coming. What the fuck do I do? Pray?
You be using that 50 posts per page, the 100 posts per page option is where it's at.
With 100 posts per page Rising is 37 pages behind of Awakening/Fire Emblem.

Doing my New Game Revengeance Mode run.
Tough stuff, but not as hard as I thought. Just like NG2, the first chapter is rough but it gets easier after that.
Even having no upgrades I still managed to S-Rank R-01.
I'm still fairly skeptical the entire game can be S-Ranked on Revengeance without Wigs or previous upgrades. We will see.

Has anybody else been noticing slowdown and cutscene freezing in the ps3 version?
The cutscene just completely froze before the last boss but I could still pause and skip it.
