Fucking hell. Made it further than ever on a wave-based VR mission, then the camera gets locked on a Dwarf Gekko and refuses to change to the larger Gekko charging me to death.

The pattern is always the same and from what I remember, you only need to get 3 of the 4 points to break the debris
Using cardinal directions for what you should do with the RS, it's something like:
1 = SW ~ SSW
2 = Use the LS to shift up and WNW
3 = Horizontal so just use square on PS3 or X for 360 (might require a bit of shifting also)
then you have to slash Armstrong as he jumps at you
Heh. Last nite, was dicking around with the electrolyte packs - found the use of the down in the d-pad.

Without any upgrades (I spent everything on the HF blade and unlocking skills) the window for slicing those things is ridiculously short. Took me like 20 deaths before I could figure out how to do it in time.

thanks. will try to apply this. i only have like 2-3 seconds to line this up, but...
if this trick works, then it'll be much be easier.
Oh my God, I beat the final boss on Revengeance... no damage... A rank. Fuck. 9900 points... literally 100 points away.
Part of it was my time. He took way too long on the second form to initiate the special attack and so it's eating into the time I have for the next form.

After breaking his healing orb thing, go into blade mode and rack up like an 80 hit combo while he's falling down.
edit- if it was time, nvm.
Actually, that's good advice. That would have helped me too because my combo wasn't maxed out. Do I just stay in blade mode after and keep slashing or should I run forward and reinitiate blade mode?

Probably either would work. If he ever gets too far away, click the left stick to walk forward while in blade mode and keep slashing.

So what the fuck is the High Frequency long sword good for anyway? It feels slower than everything else, I can't tell if it is stronger and if it is stronger that gets negated by the fact that it could be slower and the reach doesn't even feel significant. It looks kinda cool I guess, like an extra long handle on the regular HF sword and a really cool swing effect.
But it's so underwhelming considering all the bullshit i had to do to get it.
Edit: Well this is interesting, because the HF long sword animations are slower it seems to (might be a placebo effect) let me perfect parry ridiculously easy because the active frames for it might last longer. My timing is awful but I still seem to be perfect parrying almost everything now into the counter for the 1 hit ko move.

That did it, man. Thanks a lot!
Revengeance has been S-ranked. Now for the VR Missions....
I haven't S ranked revengeance mode yet (I only through it once though), but the VR missions weren't that bad at all. There are only 2 really hard VR missions, but they're not even that bad. They are definitely nowhere near the difficulty of Vanquish's challenge 6 for example.

Hey, does anyone know whether the Grey Fox DLC consists of multiple codes on PS3? Is the skin and blade all one code?
one code
One code for both skin and weapon.
Yeah, I'll save them for another day. I Golded 5 of the easy ones, so I've got a ways to go.
Also, I have to admit something heinous. I never finished Vanquish.

Ah... thank you.
If you got dat PS+ then it's free to download
ALSO
I have a $10 American U.S.A. PSN code. I'm looking for a U.S. American Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Gray Fox DLC code.
The $10 code will expire by the 5th of March.
I am aware that the Gray Fox DLC will probably be made available to everyone very soon and that it won't cost $10, but I was going to just five this away anyway otherwise.
Ah, I actually own it, I just never finished it. It's on my list to complete, though.
the final boss battle was great. finish it.

About to begin my first Revengeance run. Wish me luck!
Looking forward to it!
Good luck!
On a side note, the soundtrack that came with the LE, is that the full vocals? It does say "official soundtrack".

If it's the same that's for sale at Amazon MP3 and Google Play Music, then yes.

Someone asked how to cut the tail of ray:
You need to be far away enough so he can't stomp you and close enough so he can't shoot his laser. He rarely swings his tail, you need to parry it and cut the tail.

the true vanquish starts at tactical challenge 6
Just now played the Rising Demo, on normal. On the one hand I loved it. On the other hand I died three times at the boss and twice at the section with the two mechs.
Parrying is giving me problems, which is a bit surprising as the mechanic seems to be pretty similar to the moon of mahlaa kahlaa (sp?!) from Bayonetta. I did not have too many issues there. I think I have seen three parry outcomes?
1. too late --> dmg
2. too early --> throws enemy back
3. just right --> allows for a QTE
Any hints on how to time it just right? Is there some good combat tutorial video online somewhere?
Another question: Occasionally when killing a bigger enemy time would slow down, almost as if giving me the chance to perform some finisher or to slash the enemy in a thousand pieces, but none of the buttons did anyting. Are those scenes just for exposition?
Very interested in the game, but not sure if it would be too frustrating. When I beat the boss it felt very bosslike.

too late - get hit
too early - you parry (block)
just right - you parry and counterattack for damage and it has different effects on different enemies (some enemies it will automatically let you do the finisher on them, some it just does lots of damage, etc).

Actually, the soundtrack with the Limited Edition is an instrumental one, only containing one or two instrumental versions of the vocal tracks, with the rest being the actual instrumental pieces (title menu, non-boss battle music, etc.).
It's completely different than the vocal soundtrack.
an important thing to remember here is that even though the tail swings around and hits you on your left you still have to press in the direction of the ray itself to parry, like any other enemy, not the tail itself. mg excelsus is the only enemy whose limbs are considered entities that can be parried independently of the main body.
No. It isn't. Vocal tracks are for sale online. Non-vocal soundtrack is exclusive to the LEs.

I had gotten it after clearing the prologue in my Very Hard run through.

Too bad there is no Kunoichi costume to troll. Or a Geisha. Mariachi is great, though.
The prologue outfit is my favourite too. I find it to be more suitable and fitting than his Black Raiden look. He actually still looks like Raiden.
I am testing out the Cyborg Ninja outfit atm though. Looks awesome.

There are 540 unique codec conversations in the game
gotta listen to 400 for the trophy
so if anyone wants to count.... lol
I started another run yesterday purely for the Codecs. I tried counting in my head each time but got irritated doing so just winging it now.
Such a shit achievement.
Wow, this game is on another level. I didn,t have much time to play recently because of works. Got the game last week and only got to play a few times. Just defeated Monsoon and wow what a blast. I think I will brake my 6 year old Sixaxis controller by the time I finish the game ^_^. Ok, Sundowner, your next!!
