I don't know. I saw a post earlier that some checkpoints were annoyingly placed (i.e., not immediately where the fight starts).
Basically I just want to know if when you screw up a certain fight by failing to meet whatever goal you have in mind, can you just restart checkpoint and do the fight again? If so, that will make collecting shit or S-ranking everything a lot more fun for me.

is the game more robust than vanquish
I liked vanquish and all but I was pretty much one and done with it

im really having a hard time distilling how i feel about this game, i like it, but im falling short of loving it. Some aspects feel a bit sloppy like the constant stunlocking and the parry system, which becomes very unreliable with multiple enemies and can really break up the flow of combat. Those things prevent MGR from really hitting the same heights as a Bayonetta or Devil May Cry.
the Zandatsu triggers though, are a fantastic way to add cinematic moments to combat and shit all over QTEs. They have been a joy to experience.

you can cancel almost everything into a parry.

can some one post that Raiden vs Metal Gear Ray gif? I want to show my cousin.
You just can't do much if you're being attacked by someone else while you do a perfect/just parry. I guess they could've fixed that by making you invulnerable while you're doing the counter attack.
best thing to do when surrounded, is a perfect timed evasive move. If you get the right timig, out of that thing, you don't need to rely so much on the parry.
Ps :sorry for my english, but it's not my language XD
Actually speaking of that, there's perfect evasion? I thought it was just a normal evade lol.
:lol oops, I jumped the gun there.I died a few times on the final boss, but it was pretty fun regardless.
Even if it was single-handedly the silliest thing in the metal gear universe lololol
I'll post more detailed impressions later, but overall assessment: awesome.
The silliest thing in the MGS universe is still Liquids arm
no there isn't, but if you time it right you can abuse the invincibility frames.

I have one issue and thats the camera being way too close.
LOL this is awesome!
Here you can hear some samples of the vocal track at good quality

Hot wind blowing seems awesome..
Well.
This is close.
p.s.
However MGR's timer works, it's dumb. I've easily spent over 10 hours with the game so far. And missing one or two encounters really brings down your mission score ;(

Bayonetta system is the best. Total time played in the save screen and Platinum time in the results screen.

I thought me getting a C meant that i sucked but almost everyone is getting it their first time
Makes me feel better knowing that it is the average for most people.

I'm right at the end and I needed to take a break and walk away. What the fuck am I playing? What the hell is going on???
Beating the end boss without continues makes much more sense now.

hitting square/X + a direction with have you block in a direction. If you time it right when an enemy is about to hit you it will cause a parry where then you can counter.
Overall, it's great. The demo is a really good indicative of what to expect, I'll post longer impressions later.
Normal is cakewalk, easier than DmC even. You have items that restore your health automatically, and they abound. Hell, bosses routinely drop health items! It's really hard to die.
8-10 of those continues were due to a shitty set-piece in the prologue and the actual final boss. I think I legit died once during the game. I'm playing hard right now and I don't see any difference. In fact I just perfected the bladewolf with the pole-arm. Unfortunately, no other difficulties were unlocked by beating the game on normal. I guess I could use the konami code but I'll stick around for a while longer.Overall, it's great. The demo is a really good indicative of what to expect, I'll post longer impressions later.

Wow...
DmC is one of the easiest games I've played in quite some time in this genre.

I guess they had to make normal mode into easy mode for any Metal Gear fan who isn't familiar with hack 'n slash.
Have you beaten games like DMC, Bayonetta or Ninja Gaiden? Play on hard, otherwise play on normal.

I think people were recommending that you do not use the konami code to start on Very Hard or Revengeance from the start, but action game veterans should absolutely start on Hard.
A ton of enemies can one-shot you on Revengeance, from what I heard.
Final boss does 300% damage on any single hit on that difficulty
Yeah I'm well versed in the genre. I just heard varying opinions on which of the two to start with. I'll start with Hard mode though.
I'm looking forward to seeing the crazy videos later where some gamers play through Revengeance mode fresh. :lol
For me is the game just seems highly inconsistent in some of the mechanics. it could just be me though.

Anyone make a dent in the trophies yet?
Like the no damage bosses on hard I figured someone on here would have done by now
or unlocking all the VR missions.(unless someone was mistaken in thinking that there were only 30)

I thought DmC was easy on normal but I couldn't beat the dog in the demo on normal =/
yeah I am not good at this genre, but I love metal gear, so I am conflicted :s
