you can.
S-Ranked R-06 and R-07 on Revengeance last night. Now I gotta go back and S Rank the other missions I missed (which I think are just 03 and 04)
This is really the only game I've played in the last 2 weeks, I'm stunned that I'm still getting so much fun out of it. This is really one of the most fun games I've played in a long time.

Why are grenades so small? Is this some kind of sick joke?

As much time as you spend in the game looking directly at his ass, I appreciate this courtesy.

The gameplay doesn't feel nearly as tight as DmC. People whined about the lack of lock-on but it honestly caused minimal problems for me. In Rising the camera makes it hard to have the whole picture of the action sometimes. I wish they tried something else with the camera, having it further away from Raiden would be a good start.
The gameplay is tighter than DmC's. The camera on the other hand...
Something that helped me was using the lock on and increasing the sensitivity of moving the camera in the options.
MGR's gameplay is a lot tighter than DmC's but the camera is a bit of a hassle.
I still prefer MGR's option of having a hard lock on or no lock on at all instead of DmC's unreliable soft-lock system though.

I use lock on 90% of the time. Could try the sensitivity.
Other thing that I proly can only blame myself is that I really liked the combo system or whatever in DmC over this. The always visible style rank encouraged for combos and they were very easy to memorize for a fairly casual fan like me. That said Rising combos certainly ain't hard or anything but I dunno how to say this, it felt like in DmC they were very consistent and you already felt like you were in control. I think I just need more time with Rising tho.
Things that I like tho: while I had no problems with DmC framerate it certainly is very smooth in MGR and still looks good. I'm pretty impressed with the cutting engine too and it is pretty fun.

Yeah. But where as in DmC I used like all the possible combos and moves in MGR I just button smash when I am not evading, parrying or in blade mode.
Isn't that your fault? You don't need to use different combos to do well in DmC since it's so easy, and you don't need to do the same here either. But you're rewarded for doing so in both.
Play on Hard instead (assuming you haven't upgraded Raiden much) and come back to me. Rising's default difficulty doesn't display the game's mechanics very well or at their fullest potential.

Well I am playing on Hard with no upgrades tho I am just at the endish of level 3 :lol. I am saving BP for the fox blade :lol.
Look at my post before, I know it is my fault. But DmC had a natural feel to the combos and encouraged using them.
but then they tweeted that they were joking
He tried to get people to do impressions of Piggy from MadWorld for free DLC codes or something but nobody was willing to degrade themselves like that.
There's nothing inherently more natural about how DmC does combos. MGR arguably uses much of the same base pause system.
I'm gonna warn you ahead of time if you do buy it: Fox Blade is OP if you upgrade it (except on bosses I guess) so if you really want to judge the game for what it is, you may want to use the HF Blade for the remainder of the game >_>

Sure but there are combos that use two different buttons for example while DmC always uses only one till you change to a different move. But as I said it certainly doesn't look hard or anything so I just need more time with it.
If I purchase the Grey Fox outfit does it appear on cutscenes? I'd love to play with it but I'll save it for replays if it switches between gameplay and cutscene.

I forget I have Ripper Mode most of the time until I get wrecked by 3 mastiffs or something.
Skins do not affect the cutscenes; they're pre-rendered.
Same here. Been stuck in my head for days.
Again? The walkthrough on GameFAQs goes through every Ranked Battle in order, so you can't miss any. Each one has its own heading. The strategies are worthless, but at least it tells you where they are.
What do you guys think of this idea for Rising 2:
+ Free up for the D-pad so that Up cycles between Unique Weapons, and Left, Right and Down can assign Unique Weapons to quick select. Tapping them again de-selects them. Example: Tap right on the D-pad for the Sai; left for the Pole-arm; and down for the Pincer Blades. You can map the weapons as you see fit. If there are more than three Unique Weapons, you can cycle through the rest by tapping up on the D-pad.
+ To free up the D-pad, consolidate the Item menu with the Codec menu so both are accessed from the same screen via Select.
+ Also, remove the "use health pack now" feature from down on the D-pad. It's not really necessary since your nanopaste kicks in automatically anyways, and if you want to restore health early, you could also do it by hitting Select and accessing the relocated Item menu.
As for Unique Weapons, I think it'd be cool if Rising 2, being a direct sequel, gives us access to the Sai, Pole-arm and Pincer Blades from the start. Give us an even larger squad of weapon-wielding bosses to take down, and we can expand our arsenal further.

Its not necessary for nanopastes, but using it for electrolyte packs can be really useful
All of that sounds fine. I don't know if it's the most elegant solution (personally, I'd prefer a way to swap weapons that didn't require the D-pad if possible), but it would be better than the current implementation.
That would be cool, but personally I'd rather they just flesh out whatever weapons they have as full weapons, rather than just having a couple of attacks like the Sai and Pincer blades. I'd much rather have 3 weapons in addition to the HF Blade, each with tons of depth, rather than 6-8 highly situational weapons with only one real use.
Yeah. It's the $1.99 skin, which is the same body as the R-00 skin, just with a different head.
You only need to beat that level on Hard to unlock it, btw.

You get the suit for R-00 on very hard, but yes it's the MGS4 Raiden that's on PSN/XBLM

You know the drill on these types. They make you play with the extra weapons and take it away from you on the cutscene, back to zero THEN you acquire the weapons of the new bosses.
I do hope they make more bosses next time - at least five squad members (ala MGS) + mini-mecha bosses and of course a large MG.

I'm okay with the same number of bosses in MGR2. I just hope they give each of them more screen time to flesh them out. If the prologue featured all of the Winds of Destruction instead of just Sundowner and Sam, then the build up to each boss fight wouldn't be so...limited.
Wow, that's amazing. I really wasn't expecting that.

I'm bricking it with the GRAD encounter on R-02 on Revengeance. I want to S rank it to finish that chapter altogether but the checkpoint system is fucked. You fuck up the part before the main fight and you can't return to it as a checkpoint kicks in.
Best way to approach this? If I can knock him back without getting hit, victory but otherwise I need to play this on point cos I don't wanna go through the chapter again seeing as I've already S ranked every battle bar this one.
