Hearing these stories how people got through the game with only 5 continues, but like 30+ from the final boss alone is a worry. That doesn't sound like a balanced game. I want to start this on hard but I want the difficulty to ramp up gradually. It sounds like it's mostly easy'ish, but then you face a cliff right at the end.
You're supposed to blade mode his back, there should be a pink square you have to hit, I think. I figured that by accident. I kept hitting him with blade mode to interrupt his auto-healing(and eating the damage), eventually the pink square on the back of his head was revealed to me. 
Well it depends on why the player is dying.

Just get the ps3 one now.
If most are having trouble with it (to the point of breaking controllers) there has to be some sort of annoyance. It sounds like the game could have been better balanced, we'll see soon enough.

Apparently I forgot I preordered through newegg. I've just been charged.
I really wasn't planning on getting the game so soon, but whatever.

I don't want to spoil too much, but I believe it's mostly due to the fact that people are inept at properly doing the dodge.
The final boss is a major step up in difficulty. The key is to not use any health kits until the final battle. One trick is that every time it saves a checkpoint, you can then restart to the latest checkpoint and get full health/energy. Also, once you figure out the beginning part of the battle/phase, it is easy to get past it without taking any/very little damage. It is the final phase that is a bitch.
Also, the part where a portion of a building/mech is thrown at you, you take massive damage if you don't cut it just right. I gave up cutting it and ran straight toward the boss to nearly directly under him and then it wont hit. However, if you manage to cut it just right, health kits supposedly drop which would make the battle pretty easy if you can cut precisely each time. Oh yeah, another hint for those people who are spoiling it for themselves - the Metal Gear portion of the battle is the easy/early phase where you should take almost no damage via parry ;p.

For context. I'm quoting an end boss spoiler and my spoiler below is an end boss spoiler.
Don't view these spoilers, unless you've completed the game.
I actually downed the boss, without knowing that. I thought you just had to let him heal. He always recovers to a lower amount, so you eventually wear him down even if you leave his heals uninterrupted. It just takes a long time. Extra fun when you mess up that slash event at the end and have to start over again. Oh well, i'll know next time i fight him.

I haven't bothered with Normal, now the final boss is whooping my ass on Hard mode. I just suck at cutting things properly.
It's not just a river in Egypt.

My big problem with the boss fight was that I started it with zero health recovery items. In which I had
to wait till the third stage of the fight to pick up any
Is it awkward... I mean, is there a specific animation to grab both or he just grabs one and then does the same animation over again?

He's right though... the story is not a piece of artillery that uses gunpowder or other usually explosive-based propellants to launch a projectile.
Meh, would have been cooler if he grabbed all of them in one swoop. Ninja style.
Not too bad.

I'm a fan of Black Raiden's design but yeah, White Raiden looks more 'normal' so to speak given the world.
I still hope they give us MGS4 trenchcoat Raiden though. I know we get MGS4 Raiden as DLC but it's gotta have the trenchcoat damn it!
The part I hate of being in Europe...

Bah, I hadn't even though about a midnight launch, so I called and my GameStop isn't doing one either
Oh well, tomorrow it is!
What exactly does collecting left hands do? I believe all 30? will give a wig, but is there something for say 10 or 20? I got a message that something could be made, but nothing seemed to happen when I got a specific number (10 or 15ish).
It seems rather useless to me, could have used those points towards improving something else ;p. Only the first 2ndary weapon seems good so far, the third 2ndary weapon also seems to suck, at least without maxing out its stats/maneuvers. Unless there is some way to switch 2ndary weapons on the fly without pausing the game, you are better off with the default or 1st one you get.
Sombrero Raiden is best Raiden.
Target lock an enemy if you have to, it'll latch on and drag you towards them. I can't remember if it's an upgrade or a charge move, but it can shock them too.
wigs --
Wig A - Infinite sub weapon ammo - 10 left hands
Wig B - Infinite Fuel Cell - 20 hands
Blade Mode Wig - Armored enemies can be cut without the need to be weakened - 30 hands + finish game on hard or higher

But it's a Metal Gear game. Select stores are doing a midnight launch.
