Yep, all in one run.
Ah cool, thanks. Do you have to start at R-00 or can you start at R-02 (since that's where the first one appears)

The game should definitely do a tutorial or a quick bit of info about blade canceling to be able to parry during your animations. blade mode canceling, almost doubles the amount up time you have on just unleashing attacks. Then r1, parry, back to kicking ass.
The biggest problem between this and bayo was they added a step to the defensive actions, where in bayo you could dodge cancel out of everything with a push of a single button.

Oh, nevermind, misread.
I started at R-00 so I don't really know. Best to check one of those achievement sites.
I've been jumping around and I haven't found a concrete answer, hell even the official guide doesn't really say.
I'll just boot up R-00 on Normal and speed run through it, its not like NG+ on Normal mode takes long now.
I'm pretty sure I started on R-02 just to pick up collectibles and get the humanoid geckos, and it was fine... just as long as you don't go back to the Chapter Select.
Achievement unlocks as soon as you kill the last one.

Yeah, you don't need to complete a chapter like some other achievements.
Also, I don't think blade mode cancel should explained in a tutorial. It's an advanced technique, which is not necessary to complete the game. It's like saying p* should teach you how to correct doing a triple tetsuzanko in bayo through jump cancel and attack buffering.

K, thanks. I can just speedrun through them and get them all. The only one you really need to be careful about is the one in R-05.

God, I'm trying to play other games (GoW, Vanquish) and I just want to come back to this- are there any dates for the Sam/Bladewolf DLC?
So yeah after finally buying MGR an hour ago and playing until the first time you encounter the Geckos, I can safely say that this is GOTY material so far. Absolutely love it! (I even played the demo more than 10 times already)
The only games that can top MGR this year for are probably DD: Dark Arisen, Metro Last Light, Bioshock Infinite and Last of Us.

The best is yet to come.
If you're enjoying the challenge now wait until you reach the final boss.
Show me a good time, Jack!

I cant wait to start my revengeance playthrough. I'm not having these same difficulty problems i see people talking about in the thread.

how long is this game? I am thinking about picking this up. Is the storyline good or is it typical PG cheese?

My first playthrough on normal clocked in at about 6 hours and my hard run was around 5 hours.
The story line great, it's like an action movie on steroids.

I adore this game, and I want kids from that final fight.

I adore this game, and I want kids from that final fight.
The first playthrough, depending on skill, thoroughness, and difficulty level, will take anywhere from 6-8 hours. And that's really without listening to a lot of the codecs. Then there's VR missions, collectibles, unlockables, and additional difficulties with rebalanced enemy placement/movesets.
The story is a good mesh of KojiPro and Platinum. I definitely think that Metal Gear fans will find something they like, but there's still the over the top flash and flair that you'd come to expect with a Platinum title.
My first playthrough was about 8 or so hours long, and I didn't listen to a good deal of the codec conversations. So unless you intentionally try to rush through this game your first time through, you'll get a pretty decent playthrough.
Plus, the game is pretty addicting and there's plenty of unlockables.

Do you have to fight?
Man I need to buy the OST next month.

I felt the same way at first. Better check your expectations just to be safe. But enjoy!

It's an amazing game but it's really short, I listened to most codec conversations and finished the game in about 5 1/2 hours on normal difficulty. I started a new playthrough on hard and it seems like you could finish in like 2-3 hours the second time as the game becomes way too easy with upgraded gear and health (I just beat Mistral in like 15 seconds). It probably has a lot to do with difficulty as well, I'd suggest doing your first playthrough on hard if you want it to last longer.
If you want to 100% the game you'll need a lot more time though. There are quite a few collectibles.
The story is typical MGS cheese without the usual melodrama. ;-)

Started Revengeance last night.....yeah fuck R-00 with vanilla Raiden
I love the shit out of this game too, but it's going to be forgotten come GOTY season later this year. Bioshock, GTA5, & Last of Us are probably going to be heavy hitters in that field.

Either it was a joke because he's a cyborg and wouldn't die, or he honestly thought he'd die it. Maybe calling him right after would sort it out?

RULES OF NATURE!!!
Are you sure you weren't pressing Up+Weak Attack as opposed to Towards+Weak Attack? I only suggest this because the tutorial puts the opponent right in front of you, in the Up direction, and his first attack is coming straight from there, predictable. You have to press the left stick towards an opponent, from Raiden's perspective, which can be from any direction and not just Up.
But then again, maybe your game was glitching out, considering your issue with Sundowner.
I am never going to clear this lobby in R04
Dude. EFF that part. That for me was the single most annoying part of my Revengeance run.

until they update the game? not sure if i want to do the VR, but sam and wolf dlc sounds interesting.
It is seriously the one sour fight in a game full of memorable ones.
How about we make a whole fight a turret sequence (which are useless on revengence) and remove the possibility of the player going down and slicing up the enemy?
I want to slap whoever thought this was a good idea. It is hard enough to pass it let alone S rank it.

that and the bare hands VR mission are what I'm waiting for
Yeah, it's really the only poorly structured fight in the game. Thankfully you can pretty easily bypass it so long as you're not going for S Rank.
Soooooo. I just beat the game (everyone knows it's amazing) but I thought I had prepared myself for the final boss. I had heard, with no spoilers, that it was over the top crazy/insane.
I saw Raiden
That wasn't even the start!
Hehe
I saw Raiden
rip off a giant leg of Armstrong's machine and hit him with it like a sword. I thought, yeah. I guess that is kinda crazy.
That wasn't even the start!
Hehe
I know! That piece of crap GRAD, hahahaha. What a cool fight that was.
Just beat freaking
Sam
Welp, time to force myself to marathon VR Mission 18. After 2.5 hours I was able to get 19 over the weekend and I got 17 pretty quickly the other day so it's my last one. I want to finish that slog before Ascension comes bout tomorrow. After that I just have to no damage Monsoon for the last difficult trophy that I'm going for (not even going to bother with Thunder God/VR God).
VR god is perhaps 'easier' because getting a gold on the two hardest missions is easy. The challenge is actually beating them. I got the VR and VR God achievements at the same time for this very reason.
VR God is definitely the easier of the two to get. Honestly, if you do want to get both I'd say get VR God first anyway. The VR missions are pretty good training for the Revengeance run.
I've been stuck on the last 3 for nearly two weeks now and I can't reliably do them. I also didn't even quality for a medal in 7 or 8 of them. I despise the VR Missions that are on the disk and I'm never playing them again once I'm done. I know I could probably do it, I just don't want to. Same thing with S ranking Revengence. I'll beat it on Revengence but I won't go for the S ranks. I don't want to make myself hate a game I love because of trophy whoring. I'm relatively new to the genre and don't have years worth of skills built up.
