I like the Dante/Vergil version better
-------------------------
On a more relevant note, early take-with-grain-of-salt numbers for MGR are that it sold about 800k in week 1, which means it mostly did already catch/pass DmC globally.

You always could do that, Jett. But I think they still do that attack anyway, they did on Hard.
I'd rather have an option to stuff the
, would make it less random to no damage that fight.

It's still mashable though. To block Monsoon I would just parry as fast as possible.
yea, he's easy to parry.

I think if you dodge the smoke bombs you shouldn't have to go through the 9 parry sequence
part of the reason I dislike the Monsoon fight so much in general are all the TIME OUT moves and phases he has during the encounter.(moves that make it so you can't hit him and have to deal with whatever obstacle course he throws at you)

This. Is. AMAZING.
800k worldwide week 1? Damn son.
Who are the two guys supposed to be? I'm assuming guy #2 is Tameem?
Oh my God
Sure hope you didn't get those numbers from a certain site...

Should be Raiden sending the letter.

Alternatively this one is how to exploit AI and game mechanics. You can "hit" the red shield with dodge attacks. Won't damage him, but you don't take any damage and can safely navigate to his back to hit him hassle free.
Yup. Rinse and repeat for flawless victory. Too easy to exploit.
Wolf has quickly grown to be perhaps my favorite character in my game. The killing machine who does not want to kill and is considered largely useless because of it, forced to attack Raiden or face destruction, who is later saved by Raiden, and now free to act for itself, proving to be, as Wolf puts it, "kinder to my fellow man than an actual fellow man." It's such a great concept, and the fact he looks SO COOL (both LQ84i and Wolf forms) is like the icing on a delicious character cake.
They are, thus why I said take them with a huge grain of salt. But the only numbers there that are suspect are the US ones. And La Li Lu Le Lo has the US week 1 numbers actually a bit lower than Japans numbers, so for all we know the real number could end up being higher.
If you're not fussing over no damage, I think the Sundowner battle is more fun if you focus on hacking away his shield. It opens up the second half of the fight, where he brings out the pincer blades, calls backup, and swings pillars, not to mention, "RED SUN O-VER PARADISEEEEEEEE!"

The helicopter annoys the crap out of me the times I opt for the legit route.
I did that on my subsequent playthroughs but... unfortunately on Easy/Normal I was too overbuffed so I didn't get to see him throw pillars or call for backup. All I got was the cool music and him becoming more aggro.
Maybe I'll get to see it on Very Hard lol.
I've never gotten him to the second phase of the fight. :lol Maybe I should try that one time. I've gone through the game so many times as well, killing the fucker quick.
Yep, Guy that receives the message is Tameem. The one that sends it is Kamiya.
If you have homing missiles handy, just aim and lock on and take the hammerheads down with one hit. Then focus on chopping Sundowner's shield.
i didn't even bother chopping his shield down. i just hit him from behind. i did it wrong.
That's what I skipped, the "throwing sais" stuff. I guess I wasn't clear enough? The whole lorentz crap and the sais part. You can also skip the smoke bombs by damaging him enough at the beginning of the fight. Must use pincer blades.

Wow, I thought the invisible wall made it effectively invincible.

Aw yiss. Red Sun is my favourite track in the game.
WHEN THE WIND IS SLOOOOW AND THE FIRE'S HOT
THE VULTURE WAAAAAITS TO SEE WHAT ROTS
OH, HOW PRETTY; ALL THE SCENERY
THIS IS NATURE'S SAAAAAAACRIFIIIIIIIICE
Yep. "Must you really fight?" was by far the most heart-warming moment in the game.

So I started listening to the codecs on my revengeance run... my god there are so many.
I love the music. It pisses me off when some reviewers say the music is bad.

I really hope this is true. It would be great and make Rising 2 that much more possible.
Even if the numbers are off by 100k or so, I think Rising 2 is a forgone conclusion at this point. The game's selling well, got reviewed well, has positive buzz all around it, and Kojima apparently liked working with Platinum alot.

I've listened to the vocal songs of the OST so many times by now. The music is great and perfectly matches the action.

Eh, I got excited, but really that site's numbers aren't even worth mentioning.
Honestly, I don't think the game is selling as well in the U.S. as in Japan. I reaaallly hope I'm wrong, and I'm only anecdotally basing this on popularity charts on Amazon.com and the like.

I'm a bit disappointed by the lack of variety in ennemies; the ones we have are fines, but I expecting stuff like more people in mecha-ish suits, more variety. I'm still not done with the game but
and I was kinda meh at
. Considering how wild the designs could get, its surprising that there isnt a lot of variety so far.
i just reached the lag where you fight Mystrial and Monsoon's replacement bodies
how generic and easy to predict.
And he loves DmC. Not surprised in the least.
