Blanket answer: yes (I don't really know if you will or not).
I've seen some people say this game is closer to Ninja Gaiden than Devil May Cry so take that for what you will. But I've never played the NG games before so I can't say for sure.
Yeah, it feels more like NG, with a sprinkle of Bayonetta (parrying and dodge offset). But it's really its own unique game.
Before playing it, I thought the same, but after playing it I wouldn't say it's too NG-like. It's pretty unique. It has a blend a lot of things.
I couldn't agree more. I've got all of the "no damage" boss trophies except Monsoon's. For the life of me, I can't seem to time the parries well enough. It's especially frustrating when you're too close to his RP grenades when they go off and it damages you a little.
After that, I've still got four more of the VR missions to complete. They're the ones I'm really stressing over.

I'd say so. You'll like it much better than any version of Ninja Gaiden 3, at least.

Did some of you play samurai shodown or last blade? Actually MGR is pretty close to them.
Start practicing manual cuts. It'll help in the long run.
Can always do that.
About RP grenades: I found out a strategy that makes him not even throw them in the first place; give him a few hits with your sword, don't be greedy, and NINJA RUN AWAY like a coward :lol He will try to follow you and you can slide into him, attack and repeat until he changes his attack patterns again - I never had to play his fucking RP grenade game again this way
Didn't beat him.. will probably try again on "Hard" difficulty since "Very Hard" seems way harder
And I love maxed out Fox Blade + Grey Fox Suit, FUCK YEAH S Ranks all over the place
With the camera, that can leave you pretty open to getting hit by stuff.
That's what I heard as well, but it generally stays between 40-60 fps on the PS3 version anyway at pretty much all times.
The cutscenes are also much sharper because of blu-ray.

What's the song playing during Jack The Ripper pre-launch trailer?
Could you provide the trailer link? I don't know if it's the one with Depeche Mode's "Wrong".
It's all in-game music. Not sure on the title. Here's the OST:

Yup I was looking for it but nothing, I'm pretty sure it's not a boss theme but still...
It kind of sounds like A Soul Can't Be Cut: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwIx6g0pJBw -- hard to hear through the game sounds though.
From that trailer, I can hear:
"Chase" and "A Soul Can't Be Cut".
"Chase" is when he's driving in the car and "A Soul Can't Be Cut" is when he's fighting.
I'm not sure which one you're inquiring about, so I figured I'd list them both.
On the subject, both soundtracks are incredible. I cannot stop listening to them!
which song do you mean? there are two tracks, the one when he is driving and the other when he's fighting.
edit lol beaten

I mean the one at the beggining. It also sounds when BladeWolf
plays Sam's recorded speech
That would be "Chase", then.
Er, are you talking about the song when Raiden is thinking/talking to himself/Boris? If so, that's not "Chase". "Chase" is when the police begin their pursuit.
It's really hard to hear the earlier song with all of the sound effects/speech going on, and it doesn't help that they don't play a whole lot of it. >_<
The section with Blade Wolf, though, is the ending of "I'm My Own Master Now". That much I do know.

Sorry, that song isn't on either the Limited Edition soundtrack, or the Vocal Tracks CD [from what I can see/hear, anyway].
I have no idea which one that is.

Thanks for the help anyway, the game has some really cool tracks. DAT MONSOON THEME

Not present on the soundtracks as far as I know. I've heard it on some rips, but they have SFX from the cutscenes, which kinda defeats the purpose.

Just got to the
fight, YEAH!
Been loving the boss fights so far. All of them have been awesome. Excellent boss music too.
Apparently 360 does have slightly better framerate, but I can reassure that it hasn't been a problem at all with the PS3 version (even though you notice a little bit of slowdown when it's too hectic - it hasn't impacted gameplay for me). PS3 has better quality cutscenes, and you get VR Missions DLC that will be free to download in the month of March if you live in North America. So, from the sound of it, either version should be fine, just depends what you prefer.

Oh, just you wait. The best is yet to come.
You need to buy the Defensive Offense move. It's X+[] on PS3. You can aim the direction Raiden jumps with the control stick.
Square + X if you're on PS3 and X + A if you're on 360. You need to buy a move called defensive offense.
1. Buy the Defensive Offense skill
2. Press X+Square or A+X you use it. That's a backdodge. Use the left analog to dodge in a different direction.
If you do it right, you'll see Raiden do a hop and a cheeky sword slash at the same time. For the hop part of it, Raiden is pretty much invincible. You can cancel most things into the dodge, and thanks to the game having dodge offset, you can continue any combo you were in the middle of after the dodge if you want to.

Guys guess what. My 60gb ps3 has died. Playing rising. My ps3 simply could'nt handle all the awesomeness. Lost all my saves everything. I am pretty bummed now.
fuckin sony. 5th 60 gb ps3 refurb. Hire sony hiring clowns instead of hardware engineers in their depots? God damn it. I cant believe it. The only good thing was i managed to power the ps3 one last time and take the game out before it finally given up the ghost

Not your fault, the devs should've made that a core skill instead of an upgrade, it's pretty crucial to the combat and combat variety.
DLC, if that ever happens.
Welp, I guess my dreams for playing as MGS4 Raiden are gone.
Didn't that DLC come out already? Or is it just for PS3 DLC?
It was a pre-order bonus costume, it's not out yet as far as I'm aware.
It was a pre-order costume in Japan.
The MGS4 Raiden costume has been available in NA since launch as DLC.
Sweet! Didn't know that, thanks!
edit: I see it now. 160msp, not bad.
Thanks! I just signed up.

Konami Core had a beta sign up that offered the skin as a free DLC if you made it in. They seem to be done with beta sign ups, but you can still leave your email address. Maybe it's worth a shot?

If you decide to fix it, use endless electronics. Google them. They offer lifetime Warranties and repair much cheaper than what Sony charges, along with upgrades and special cleaning services. They fixed my failed blu ray drive and gave me a cleaning/thermal paste upgrade plus lifetime ylod warranty for almost the same price as a single song repair.
Anyway, I can't wait to beat this game tonight. Gosh it is so amazing.
