Sam was weird for me. His fight was easier than Monsoon's to NoDam-S, but his two or three combos sure as hell weren't. I could only perfect parry one intentionally.

This? Or Gray Fox?

I think this game would be much better for a select few that don't get parries if it was better explained. I play a lot of fighting games, so I picked up on how it works fairly quickly, but I can see how it can frustrating. If they had said that smashing the stick in the direction of the attack and hitting weak attack parried, It would maybe make more sense. Having to go back to neutral to start a parry can be a little confusing to people when not properly explained.
Couple a proper parry tutorial with blade wolf being a trial by fire would be a perfect lesson to drill it into people's heads.
That said, once you "get" it, the game on Normal becomes insanely easy, as you can start parrying attacks from all sides and Zandatsu multiple people at a time. Not that I mind. It's fucking badass.
On normal, I probably took only one or two hits from Sam, and just parried the shit out of him the rest of the time. I can't wait to finish the game and try again on a harder difficulty.

One reviewer (Angry Joe) thought Parry was an exploit. lol

Oooof course he did.
For some reason his videos kept being recommended to me on Youtube. Manually removed each one from my feed, hope it caught on.
I had a good laugh when he listed the exploit as a con and game breaking. Bad as the guys who couldn't look in Help or didn't know there was a dodge move.
I'm loving this game, just beat Sundowner but Monsoon's battle was the highlight for me, I still need to go through Sam and whoever the final boss is so there's still a chance to top Monsoon's battle but that's gonna be hard.
Also: - Raiden, you need to take a DOOMP.
-I- wait what!?

I'm starting to see why everyone thinks that the camera is flawed.
It kind of is a lot of moments of the game, but the rest of the time its pretty manageable.
If you're fighting more than one big UG in a cramped location, you're fucked.

I want Move controller support, make it happen Konami so I can buy the PS3 version too!
Camera problems become more apparent on Very Hard+ when fighting multiple large, fast enemies on the regular.

Yeah, once you move up to Very Hard and the harder VR missions, the camera really starts to become annoying.
Mastiffs that jump through the floor are the worst.

Mastiffs that straight up teleport on you from off-screen and one-hit kill your ass
fuck you, Platinum
Real talk, I was trying to S-rank the elevator staircase fight. And I heard the Mastiffs coming, so I backed up to the elevator, thinking it'd be easier to fight them if I get them in that bottleneck. Mastiff FLEW vertically up the stairs and then HORIZONTALLY across the hallway in less than a second, I shit you not. I just laughed so hard and the ridiculousness of it all.

I lost total interest in what the man had to say since his DmC review. It wasn't the fact he liked it, it was what he liked it for. It was clear dude is a scrub when it comes to these types of games.

Just finish the game on Hard and save yourself the 160 points. You get the MGS4 costume without the helmet.

When Doktor opens that elevator in the lobby while doing that R-04 fight, the game glitched on me once in Revengeance mode and the elevator didn't move, even though I was all the way inside.
Why you ask?
Because I ran in there to get away from the two Mastiffs and those assholes instant transmissioned in there and I guess the game just broke.
Funnily enough I actually won the fight (i.e. just swung Bloodlust around with no regard for absolutely anything), but I had to restart anyway because---you know---the elevator wouldn't fucking move.
But boy, if you ever want to see Revengeance's horrid camera go Super Saiyan 3 with its terribleness, get caught in an elevator with two Mastiffs.

Did they remove the wall running as seen in old videos?

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
OH GOD I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN
I'll admit, I jumped outta my seat when that happened :lol
Yup. Raiden does it in an early cutscene, but it isn't something you can do ingame.
But the helmet is the BEST PART.
I almost never buy DLC for games, especially costumes, but getting the MGS4 Raiden skin made this game that much more enjoyable for me.

To justify the inclusion of Ripper Mode, of course!

Mastiffs also have the best design of regular enemies, then raptors.
One must dodge like a silly bitch or they'll hug you forever.

Let me ask you something: Those robots weren't kids, but they were sentient AI. You ever think about them when you're chopping them into hamburger?
Mastiffs are definitely iconic. They have mad swagger when they're on patrol, red eye glaring, wrist-gun aiming.

In the total dark tunnel the red eye only visible, so badass.

Sure, they're robots. Sure, they signed up for this. Right on the dotted line of their PMC contract.
Usually they're no strangers to war. In fact, many times they've already lost a part or two. Many times were out of oil and starving on the street. So yes...they sign up for combat to fight god-knows-where for God-knows-who. How else would you provide for your robot family when your country's embroiled in civil war?
Pain receptors shut down, pumped full of fear-inhibiting nanomachines and sent right into the blender...YOUR blender...
...but they've made their choice, right?
Started playing it on Friday on PS3, after a few hours I love it. The game doesn't really do a good job of teaching you new things so far, it just throws you in and says "Go for it." I can appreciate that to an extent but oh well. I find myself just standing still trying to parry everyone/everything and I can't help but feel I'm doing it wrong. Can you shift to a parry mid-combo?

You can cancel almost anything into a parry. Rising is about constant offense, never stop attacking, parry when enemies attack, then resume your offense.

Yeah, I can't think of an exception. Well, the only one is, when enemies glow yellow instead of red.
They have less capacity to give a shit than a dog does.
Thanks. Do you find yourself just locking a target and pressing the attack without the movement thumbstick? I ask because I tend to push towards my intended target subconsciously and end up doing that incredibly long block animation when they start to attack.
When I was running through VR-18 I got up to the two mastiff wave. In this particular VR mission, enemies have Revengeance levels of damage and you have no upgrades which means one-hit kill. I got trapped by the two mastiffs in a wall, one of them was continually slamming me, the other was continually trying to grab me and the while my camera was going fucking crazy. This is why I hate mastiffs.
