Damn you both.
Now I feel compelled to replay that chapter.
Again.
For the 300th time.
Well, I'm not there yet. I'm still on Very Hard so I'm not worrying about S-ranks but I still keep getting touched no matter how well I do in getting out of dodge or blocking. Oy.
Hope it's not 80. I saw a video of someone do short of that on the
Sundowner

For Sundowner you can get some extra kills and zandatsus to compensate.
This game is awesome and you owe it to yourself to play it. It definitely belongs in the family of games that you've listed.

I can't even remember the last time I've played something so quotable. Sleeping Dogs, maybe, but this is in another league.

I'M FUCKIN' INVINCIBLE!
He won't be hard if I can juggle him to 10% again. lol
I like you, Jack. So I'm going to give you a second chance.
WELL, I DON'T LIKE YOU!
That was my favorite part of that whole thing. And then the
flipping him over by knee-locking his head.

"Like I said before; kids are cruel, Jack.
And I'm very in-touch with my inner child."
That quote + the awesome music = best way to open a fight ever.

The game stops amazing you when you turn the game off. And even then, that's YOU disappointing the game.

The beginning with Sundowner's shields expanding and retracting into position looked so fucking badass with the choppers flying around behind him. Going back and forth between that and Monsoon for the best fight intro.
Would you believe me if I said it gets way better?
"Must you really fight." Sealed the best fight in the game for me. The whole art-direction for that fight was AMAZING.
Is that from Max's videos?

I mean, I understand buying the Game of the Generation and not playing it for a year, but LEAVING IT SEALED?

Yup. I totally cheesed him easy.
I found it much easier to hit and run and the sheild cutting was kinda pointless. Put me at more risk for less payoff
Yeah my friend always bust my balls because I haven't opened it yet.

That sounds like a good friend. You really don't have to play an amazing, insane, ridiculous game like Bayonetta, but at least take off the plastic, y'know?

You know you started walking rather than just rush straight at him the first time. You know.
I love how emotional the story manages to be and how despite being mostly artificial, the main combatants throughout are far from mechanical. There's more to them beyond their augmentations.
Nah, the Two Guys. Vid 3 I think.
It's from the Two Best Friends Let's Play. Highly recommended.
LEFT HAND RULE!
I fucking did.
And it was amazing. Because at first he doesn't rush at you either, he just walks.
The whole first 10 seconds of the fight was just both of us walking at each other with the music blasting off.
THIS GAME.

I'm never going to play this game.
Does it have anything salient as it relates to Raiden pre/post MGS2?
Hit me up with a PM.

Holy shit you guys were not kidding when you said VR missions 18, 19, and 20 are the most unfun, frustratingly bullshit difficult missions. I must have tried 18 for a whole hour just now; trying to use the Pincer Blades on wave 2 is brutally difficult. And then VR Mission 19 is atrocious. VR Mission 20 at least looks doable (I almost did it the first time but unfortunately I got caught right as the guy at the end turned around when I thought he was going to stand there long enough for me to take out the security camera).
The tries after that first one were not as successful so I said, "Fuck it, it's late, I'll try this shit tomorrow."
What's the best way to use the Pincer Blades on wave 2 without getting grabbed during the cooldown? It blew my mind when I found out the Mastiffs do damage to you even just from grabbing you even when you escape properly! DAFUQ. Is that exclusive to the mission because of the upped damage from the enemies?

Try to kill the Mastiffs by parrying their dropkicks. And you can dodge cancel the pincer blades.
This game is handing me my ass on normal. I'm still having a blast though. I might replay Monsoon's level a few times so I can get parrying down (it's my major weakness). This game also makes me want to get into Solid. Twin Snakes or the Original? HD Collection or PCSX2 emulation?
Original. HD Collection.
Now why did I not try this... urgh. Thanks!

I have the game saved at the final boss at the final check point. I like just playing this part over and over.
Wife caught me playing earlier. "What the fuck is with that music?"

Had to look that one up on wikipedia. lol
Yep. I backed up slowly waiting for him to rush or for me to have a chance to rush. So awesome. You know that moment with Lucy Lu and Uma Thurman in the snow of Kill Bill Vol. 1? Just like that.
But another good art-style set was the Japanese garden. So out of place but the art-style was amazing. I loved how they rendered the cherry blossoms without being oversaturated like "Sky City Tokyo"/Ninja Gaiden 2's Cherry Blossom scene.
I really wish that one was longer and didn't have RPG's. Would've been an awesome full level to go through.

the garden was great. i stealthed it smoothly, felt very rewarding.
Outside of a few VR missions, you never have to be stealthy. So, you know. Whatever.

Well then good news! Stealth is only really required for the one Trophy/Cheesemint. The game heavily encourages killing as many people as possible.
