Fucking VR mission 17. I finally managed to blow up the last raptor and then notice a dwarf gekko hopping around. Had to run pick up a grenade and quick throw it just to beat the mission with one second to spare.
Still haven't defeated The last boss (playing on Hard), good thing my play time is late at night and the wife & kids are asleep other wise i would scream and i don`t think my PS3 was in one piece by now.
I restarted the chapter and got to him with two health packs, hope tonight i will bring him down.

Finished it yesterday evening, was dreading the last boss after all the comments here but did it first time. Plenty of time to line up the cuts and they drop nanopaste if you're stuck.
Going for all collectibles now, amazing game.

I know about 18 and 19. At the very least, those don't relegate you to using the the sub-sub-weapons with their terrible controls.

The soundtrack makes the game. I found myself smiling even more when the lyrics started kicking into the boss fights. Cheesy as shit? Sure. Do I care? Hell no! This shit is awesome. It works so incredibly well in-game that it's hard to ignore how much of an impact it can possibly have on someone's playstyle or how they feel about a particular boss fight in the end.
I genuinely think the soundtrack and the game go together extremely well. Really good song selection here. I'm impressed with it.

Are the motion inputs relative to Raiden's position or just universal? Like, the back forward +P is done considering Raiden's point of view?
is this a remix
Position.

Back-forward + attack is kind of wonky in general. sometimes it'll register for me and sometimes it doesn't. I'll even do in the opposite direction I was intending sometimes.
I wish lock-on could be used to lock the direction Raiden's facing to make that easier.

Bruh, you gotta go to the sound options and put the sound effects slider on like 6 or 7 and the music one to 10.
Let that music control your blade.

bought the hardcover strategy guide from Amazon sale, if only for the pretty pictures!
My blade prefers silence as it shares its gift with others.

VR missions 18 and 19 aren't so bad because they involve regular combat. There are some very good strategies for both on YouTube. I cleared them in maybe 3 hours total.
Mission 17 is the worst overall because you're forced to use subweapons, but it's totally manageable if you use grenades on all the troops in room 1 and the rocket dudes in room 2 (it helps to jump up onto their platform), and tracking missiles on everything else. The only time you want to zoom with the missiles is when you're aiming at the small Gekkos, BTW. Otherwise just tap LB/L1 to quickfire.
It's kind of sad the the huge damage you do after upgrading your weapons means the earlier bosses don't last as long or pose as much of a challenge as they did the first go 'round.

If MGR2 happens, I hope they keep the unique weapons and just introduce more.

i really hope so, this series has a lot of potential. But i have doubts if Platinum will want to make it, they haven't really been making sequels

They've already said that they want to make MGR2

Kojima said multiple times that he wants it to happen, and that Platinum would be the studio to handle it since he doesn't think anyone else could do it.

There's a bit of tribute to Kojima as well in Mistral and Courtney's cutscenes. Too bad they're not realtime; I really missed the R1 for First person view option during those moments.
I really can't emphasise how much I love playing this game, it cut its outs niche in the genre and there really isn't anything quite like it. Blade mode just never gets old and I adore the parry and dodge mechanic. This is the 3rd time Ive fallen in love with the genre all over again; first being Devil May Cry1 and the next Ninja Gaiden.
It's good to know KOjima and Platinum want another one because I sure would love to see how they flash it out next gen with a proper dev time.

Btw. try to cut the civilians via blade mode, when they're running away. Also in VR mission 5, the last wave of tripods. Don't attack them for about 20 sec.
Yep, hilarious how everyone is disgusted and Courtney wouldn't even let you save the game anymore!
Christ, shit gets real on Very Hard and above. And by real I mean bullshit. Having five gorillas constantly attacking you with a crazy mix of normals with different parry timing and unblockable grabs from every direction is INSANE. Even the samurai cyborgs become annoying as shit with their parries of your parries and being able to lock you down from six directions at once. ALSO, INSTANTANEOUS ROCKET LAUNCHER DUDES. Good thing most of them are squishy so you can just slidekick + blade mode, but jesus they're annoying.

Currently having trouble with

I didn't have nearly as much trouble on Very Hard, got past it rather quickly.

you're at the bit right after he breaks your sword? Couldn't get him under 98.8 yesterday which I guess wasn't enough

These are very good news! I'm very happy that this collaboration turned out great for both KojiPro and Platinum. ^_^
BTW my favorite theme in the game is by far Mistral's, so fuckin' awesome.

Monsoon's theme was the most hype to me, the theme began and I was like ''Oh shit, I heard he was one of the hardest, shit shit shit! OK GO!''
Yes. Most hype moment of the game is when that song kicks in.

He came at it from this weird angle I don't think any other review came at it from ==;;
I think it's really weird how you can't work subweapons into a combo smoothly, it's got this awkward-ass motion even if you're just tapping L2. Can't even fling a 'nade mid-combo.

Been playing this and i must say that fighting against those "hulk bots" are almost impossible.
I assume you're talking about the Mastiffs, the gorilla like ones that like to grab you?
They're there to teach you a new gameplay rule: Red flash means parry, yellow flash means dodge.
Use the Defensive Offense skill just before they grab you and they'll only grab air. Punish them for their clumsiness, then cut off their arms so all they have left is their dropkick move which isn't that hard to parry.

I'd say the mastiffs were definitely the toughest enemy on my first playthrough.
Yeah, same here. That's why I tried to stealth kill them as much as I could in my first playthrough (though sometimes that isn't possible).
To stealth kill them you have to approach them without ninja running.

You can also save combos through the dodge offset mechanic first seen in bayo. This makes the pincer blades very safe to use.
Yeah, I didn't figure this out until subsequent playthroughs. >_>;

For the Naked and Unloved title do you have to erase all your progress and start a new game or can you just unequip everything in the character menu before starting a game?

Yep
The title is for completing the game on hard or higher with no fuel or health upgrades, which to my knowledge can't be unequipped
and if I'm mistaken and they can be, the guide says it requires a new playthrough if you don't want to take my word for it
That's why I did it sooner rather than later, before I had more of a commitment to upgrades and higher difficulty level rankings.
