Nope, not at all. Beat it first time, have continued to beat it or reset after getting hit.
Sorry, I wish I could help you. I played through a bit of Metal Gear Solid 1, but that's basically been the extent of my MGS knowledge.
On the subject, though, that reminds me:
Yama in Japanese means "mountain". Does that help?
Blade Wolf is amazing.

It is a reference to MGS2.
I think it's a reference to the ending of MGS2. Where the AI Colonel just goes crazy. But I'm not entirely sure.
To be honest, I agree. That means a lot considering how high I rank all of the characters for MGR [that includes bosses].
Blade Wolf, though, is on another tier entirely. While I am extremely excited for his DLC, I would play an entire game based around him.

Scissors 61 is Sundowner, surely
OH SHIT KOJIMA IS A GENIUS
So I've decided to start a run through on Hard, and I'm really not noticing any real difference in difficulty between Normal and Hard. Hell, I'm actually get way more S ranks this time around than I did in my two playthroughs on Normal
I also managed to S rank Monsoon, which kind of confused me because I thought the No Damage bonus was basically required to get S ranks?

I can't check right now, but are all of the preorder costumes available for purchase individually, I.E. Inferno Raiden, etc? I got mine at Gamestop so I got the Gray Fox outfit, but I'd like to pick up all of the other ones, if possible.
Desperado Raiden is probably my favorite. It effectively makes you look like one of the Winds of Destruction.

Mind-dump:
I'm liking the game a lot, but I can't skip the awful cut-scenes fast enough. I wish there was more environmental variety. (Bland city, sewer, bland city. Grey, brown, blue-grey, black.)
The combat on normal seems to be flail around with counters, tap dodge at the right time when enemy turns yellow, Zandatsu when enemy turns blue. Wildly fun to start with, but none of the enemy types are really forcing me to reconsider my play-style and improvise. The last boss I fought had a shield that required super-precise cutting, which is a skill nothing in the game-- up to that point -- had promoted.
Cutscenes and dialogue are fucking dreadful.

I quite like Denver in this game. Glittering skyscrapers with a strong sense of vertigo (pan up at World Marshal), set against a gathering storm... Warm interior design, with polished wood and glass walls... Cobblestone streets slick with rain, terraced with stairs, featuring cute outdoor cafes and the like. Having a cyborg police force come after you in a freshly evacuated city block is all sorts of badass.
Can't get enough of the cutscenes, either. I'd love a whole movie like this. It's the first time I've liked the cutscenes in an MGS game, rather than simply tolerating them. The look of Raiden's body, how the thin but sturdy armor shifts on his musculature, or the weary emotion you see in his dark-circled eyes, conveys a lot of character. Reminds me of a well-done Del Toro character, actually. Sort of that "the man is a monster but the monster is a man" deal, being inherently inhuman but wearing your heart on your sleeve all the same.
Also, rewatching the cutscenes introducing Monsoon, I just love his voice. "Kill or be killed, Jack. Phnom Penh taught me that." "You've lost your mind." "No, Sam -- he's mine." All of the characters have tremendous voice acting, actually. The schizophrenic touches in Raiden's voice, varying by context, is another nice touch; so is the amount of empathy they manage to convey through Wolf, even as his tone of voice never changes.

This reminded me that I need to test out a theory regarding that part. Basically, your fate is tied to the barbwire barricade at the beginning of the bridge. If you destroy, you'll die. Jump over it and you'll live.
I have another theory: It's possible that if you do too well you'll die because you're past a trigger point. I was all up in to the non-collapsing area, I was standing on solid ground and then the death cutscene triggered as if Raiden had matter-phasing nanomachines and phased through the bridge.

I've had some weird deaths on that bridge too.

Perfect Parry, zandatsu 5 bladefodder, ripping all spines at once. Feels good, son.
Btw. Remixed enemies start at very hard. So you won't notice a big difference coming from normal to hard. On hard they just deal more damage. But on VH and upwards they're more aggressive etc.

Oh, hey, I was wrong. I forget who I told this but:
Amateur Radio Operator DOES NOT NEED TO BE DONE IN A SINGLE-PLAYTHROUGH
I just got it in R-01 Very Hard by spamming the Codec to try to find the ones I was missing. So long as you have 400 of the 500 Codec calls in your save file, you should be good to go. You can fast-forward these calls (but they're really interesting so I suggest not doing that, but...) if you want to.

Definitely the worst achievement in the game. Spending time skipping all the useless dribble after every encounter from every character in every chapter got old really quickly.
MGS4 Raiden is at least on the PS Store. Not sure about the others.
I do agree that Desperado Raiden is the best. It looks so awesome, especially when paired with the Murasama.
i think people can learn a thing or two from this guy...

Personally I dig prologue Raiden, the full face and the hair being down just makes him look a lot better than his customized body.
I like that one as well. I'm actually really glad that there's so many costumes. I miss those in a lot of games.
Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Finally beat the final boss after several attempts and it felt very rewarding to figure him out.

This guy is such a fucking idiot. :lol Disabled commentaries too.
Oh god I hate that bit so much. Sliders, man.
Yeah goddamn randomness. I ditched the no damage bonus and just did it straight, there was no other way. FUCKING BULLETS OUT OF GODDAMN NOWHERE. I'll choke a bitch the next up some little stupid shitstain says off-screen attacks are not an issue in this game.
Jesus fuckin' Christ at this guy.

I've played it for a couple hours and finished the first chapter (I think). I've got to the point where I first fought Gekkos, but I find the game repetitive and the story ridiculous.
Does it get better or is the entire game like that? I'm disappointed so far.

Isn't DSP just a "character" he plays anyway? I don't know if it should be taken seriously or not.

Holy shit at the amount of views that guy has. Only remember him from some early SF4 footage and he has the same annoying habits here. Every time he makes a mistake it's the game's fault. Is this a dumb persona thing or do people just watch to laugh at him?
Gameplay gets better once it clicks. Game has a bit of a learning curve but later enemies and bosses force you to learn it, which winds up makig the game way more fun.
As for ridiculousness, it goes off the charts as the game goes on. It's an insane game, you just have to embrace it.
haha...i wish.

OH MY GOD THIS GUY
his dark souls videos were hilarious, i think he made a "dark souls review" video too after beating like 5% of the game (but playing for like 20 hours or something). truly awful at video games.

I hope so. That was pathetic. "I can't see anything" Yeah except for the guy flying out of the smoke with a glowing red attack cue.

Oh yeah, he got this far in Dark Souls (lol) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2EZCSX0tvY&list=PLC6360A0CB2A3076E&index=65

There's no way that he's legitimately that bad. He parried an attack by accident and didn't even comment on it. I'm convinced that the video is just representative of the raging DSP character.
