No, he's just a fucking troll. lol
Put on Nanopaste and throw RP grenades at it and then get on the gun. Cut missiles for more nanopaste. You'll get an S rank even if you take damage.
I'm contemplating buying the white armor on ebay for 12 bucks.
Don't you get the white armor by beating Hard?
Nope that's the normal armor from the game intro. The white armor was a best buy pre-order DLC for the game.
Just to save you the headache, you can take damage on the R04 Lobby fight and
the Mistral/Monsoon fight
That is the R00 or the MGS4 outfit I think
First confirmation of it working:

I was all set to buy this earlier today, but upon impressions it sounds like it's not worth it?
BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!

Anything harder to S-Rank on Revengeance than completing VR 18 & 19? I'm not sure if I want to go through with this anymore :S
Just beat the game tonight. My PS3 went red blinking light last week on the Execelsus boss, but I got it back today and didn't lose my game saves so I beat it. One of the better gaming experiences this generation. I'm a bit disappointed, you can tell some of the stuff between beating Sundowner to fighting Sam was rushed. Nonetheless, great experience. Got stuck on VR7 and some of the later ones here and there. Might go back to it eventually but I'm on to the next game at this point.
Prologue standard body = unlock for finishing hard mode
MGS4 body (the difference being the head + visor) = DLC

I didn't want to say anything because it seemed like alot of people were excited for it
but the mechanics and moveset from the armstrong phase 2 fight were ass. So anything using that as a base was bound to be disappointing.
Fucking boring shit. And it's not offensive defense as you don't attack with the dodge. I'm not even sure dodge offset works, in any case your combos are simple crap. It's way too simple to have fun with that.
Of course dodge offset works, dodging doesn't attack but you can still go through attacks which makes it pretty useful for mounting an offense.
It's simple and pure, becomes exclusively about timing. These VR missions are the shit!
There's cool little wrinkles and ideas in nearly everyone of them, Platinum really gets it.

Final round
Two GRADs and three Fenrirs
Nope. I think it's Normal difficulty. You can take a lot of hits, but your perfect parries are really ineffective when things get crazy and you need that quick zandatsu.
Yep. Fox blade is great for quick slicing large groups in a few seconds, but Sam's blade has better reach. I used the fox blade because I suck at action games, and even with that and the infinite wig, Revengeance was still pretty difficult.
The worst part about the lobby fight aside from the GRAD are those RPG assholes who do serious damage and can easily destroy those mounted guns. However, I think you get a 'S' rank just for completing that fight which is good. It took me a while to finish that and I went through all my health packs, but still got that rank.
It didn't work for me. I tried dodging and running away from him, but he would always sucker-punch me with that incredibly fast charge attack. Eventually, after 20+ retries I just decided to dodge like crazy and kick him when I could. It worked, finally, and then I used a cheap tactic on him in the third phase and took his health down to 1% by hitting him over three-hundred times in blade mode. Also, that perfect-parry QTE on Revengeance takes out almost a full health bar. I had him around 170-180% and after punching him, he was around 95% or so. Felt so good.
Hero of the metaverse - All gold done on DLC VR missions!
27 was the hardest for me, the Mastiff AI is different in these VR missions, they block your perfect parries and it's harder to Zandatsu them.
There's some tricky stuff here but it's definitely doable, really fun stuff!

How did you handle the GRADs and fenrirs in VR-30? I took out two fenrirs, then got destroyed by the GRADs.
Hmm, I think I did the breakdancing move with the polearm on the pack of them when they spawned and then just kinda winged it.
There's a couple harder missions than that one imo.

I was doing pretty well on that mission until that round. I was expecting at least a GRAD, but two with several fenrirs? wow thanks
Oh great.
I also don't like how the next wave spawns even if you're still finishing off the previous one. For example, having those three-legged sewer dwellers spawn when you're distracted by those stupid gliders.

I beat the game, it was really really good. 7/10
If they put more effort in giving moves to Dystopia/Pincer weapons: 8/10
If the game had the above and Real time weapon switching: 9/10
If the game kept the wall running mechanic and designed the stages to accommodate it: 9.5/10
If they allocated a part of the controls to use for Wolf the same way Dead to Rights used Shadow: 10/10
But this game definitely needs to be played for any fan of the genre. It's finally something that tries something new. But unfortunately because it lacked some basic necessities other games managed. I still enjoyed Bayonetta/DMC4/NGS2 a bit more than MGR. Ah well, let's hope the DLC uses new movelists and doesn't just recycle Raiden's animations.

That gif makes me sad. Outside of the obvious exclusion of the wall-running, the environment there looks way more open, busy and easier on the eye.
Hopefully wall-running and bigger/more diverse environments will make it in to Rising 2.
Wishful thinking, I'm afraid.
Game seems to be selling well, and Kojima seemed really interested in it. I'd bet the odds are heavily in favor of a sequel.

I watched the Metal Gear Solid: Rising trailer from 2010 and noticed the enemies looked a lot like the Praying Mantis PMC soldiers. Was Raiden also fighting non-cyborg humans in the originally planned game?
Edit: I forgot the original story took place before MGS4.

I'll believe it when Platinum says it. Kojima burned me once with ZoE.
Wishful thinking, I'm afraid.
Why? It sold amazingly good and is praised by most reviewers
I want it to be revealed that the giant space ship satellite thingy from Vanquish is really a Metal Gear and Raiden has to combine with Blade Wolf for Optimus Prime/Jetfire jetpack mode in a battle to the death set above Earth in space.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
I'm trying to lower my 'hype' levels, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
What's the latest figure btw? Last I heard was 300k.

The ending of this game set up Metal Gear Rising 2 perfectly.
It did 370k+ in Japan alone - world wide sales are probably even higher; don't have the exact numbers, but it's by far PG's most successful game and deservedly so. Also, Kojima stated that he enjoyed working with them and that he thinks about creating a sequel with PG on board - everything is looking good for MGR2 so far I think

Not sure what that means? There is a trophy for the DLC VR missions I believe.
Loving the new VR missions, lots of variety and interesting concepts. Kind of strange that Very Hard is considered harder than Revengeance due to parry damage.
Would love an MGR2 where Platinum is allowed more dev time to flesh out secondary weapons and later stages. Everything past R-04 felt pretty rushed.
I can't help but think we'll be playing a antagonist Raiden in the sequel.
Wishful thinking, I'm afraid.
Still waiting for my Vanquish 2.
Don't be like this.
it works better if you disable lock on. At least for me did.
I never use lock on and the camera still screws me over plenty by moving or jerking around the place at random times - it's my biggest gripe about the game by far, especially since I like to play precise and not just mash my way out of a situation.
Lock-on or not, it's a horrible mess.

The thing that was screwing me around with no damaging Monsoon is when he'd skip the cheese wheel phase and attack instead or come out of smoke immediately with berserker barrage.
Tips: Run into the middle and hold on. Because the camera won't freak out if you stay in the middle.
I suggest having Marasama level 5, P blades level 5, and Sai level 5 for the sake of quickly damaging him.
Once you reach 70%, cut the first two waves. Run from the rest.
When you hit 40%, parry parry. Blade mode.
Then parry (after equipping Sai before these parries) to quickly hit him after you parry the FIRST attack from blade mode. You don't need to parry that attack three times and continue to parry the rest of the attack. If you're quick and parry the first and then throw you should stun him before the rest of the first attack's "attack" comes out. Then rush in to own him.
Once you got past that it's a matter of parry parry blade mode at 20% and you're home free.
As for smoke, P. blade Y, X+A (dodge) EVERY. TIME. If he's going for the barrage, X+A, X+A, X+A, X+A... Y (dodge the attack 3-4 times, then hit him with the P. blades), X+A (to cancel the P. Blades/dodge out of the way)
Problem is dodging is based on RAIDEN's position, not the camera. If Raiden is NOT facing the enemy at all times you'll do a forward lunge attack instead of a dodge with the X+A command which will fuck you over 9/10 of the time he attacks. So that's another tip: Always face him if you can.
Once you got these, he's owned hard. It took me 1000 attempts to bring it all together but when it clicked... oh boy did it ever click.
Also for the discombobulated attack: CHARGE P. BLADES LEVEL 1 ATTACK. DO NOT DO THE TWO OR THREE ONE.
You should nail him with that and prevent him from attacking you.

Well, off to SEN webstore. A least it feels good to give Platinum money.
2,49€ for 30 VR missions isn't that bad. Especially considering I got the game for 39,99 one week after release.
