Yeah, I think I just gotta get better at parrying. I'm able to parry some of the attacks, but then, but you have to be pointing in the right direction with the joy stick, which is catching me off guard because the camera can't keep up with the battle.

You're aware there's a lock on you can use? Check the controls, R2 on PS3. I'm asking because I for one didn't realise until exactly that fight where he's jumping all over the place.

Any swag videos of the full game yet?

Unlikely this game is going to have indepth swag video. It's all about skill videos. Stuff like parrying all enemies in an area on Revengeance of clearing areas with that wooden sword without getting hit.

The vocal soundtrack is out tomorrow right? That'll tide me over I guess until Friday, unless GAME wanna be generous and appreciative of the fact that I ordered from them this one time that they deliver a day or two early? :(

edit: found it online, delayed until the 26th
not delayed in NZ though woo!!!
Click to expand...

Yeah, I assumed it would be delayed here too. I just checked on Mighty Ape it says "Shipping Tomorrow" so they must have copies. Strange

I'm going to pick it up on Friday at JB Hi-Fi.

Red sun, red sun over paradise
Red sun, red sun over paradise
Golden rays of the glorious sunshine
Sending down such a blood-red light
While the animals slowly retreat to the shadows
Out of sight
Airy winds blow across the mountains
Giving flight to the birds of prey
In the distance, machines come to transform me
Day by day
Only love is with us now
Something warm and pure
Find the peace within ourselves
No need for a cure
When the wind is slow, and the fire's hot
The vulture waits to see what rots
Oh, how pretty; all the scenery
This is nature's sacrifice
When the air blows through with a brisk attack
The reptile's tail ripped from its back
When the sun sets, we will not forget
The red sun over paradise

The difference between the versions sales will be pretty polarizing. A local store has 57 PS3 preorders and 11 360 preorders. Looking at other locations within the district, PS3 numbers are 3:1.

I see the PS3 version outselling the 360 version. I mean Metal Gear has always been more of a PS franchise. Even for DmC, the PS3 version did better than the 360 version despite being the slightly inferior version.

Can anyone confirm whether or not unlocks are stacked? If they're not then what order difficulty do you recommend playing through if you're going for 100% completion.

Even disregarding its Metal Gear roots, this is the kind of eccentric Japanese action game you would expect to have a greater audience on PS3.

The exclusive DLC doesn't help.

Here's the unlocks

Weapons
HF Muramasa Blade - Complete the game on any difficulty
Stun Blade - Collect all Data Storage items (20 I believe)
Armor Breaker - Collect all ID Chips (Left hands, 30 pieces)
HF Long Sword - Finish all VR Missions with 1st rank
HF Wooden Sword - Find the 5 men in boxes
HF Machete - Collect 10 Data Storage Items
Pole Arm - Complete R01
Sai - Complete R03
Pincer - Complete R04

I still don't know why I haven't unlocked both the
stun blade and machete.

Suits
Mariachi - Complete R02
Custom Desperado - Complete R04
Suit - Complete R00 on Very Hard
Standard (your R00 suit) - Finish game on Very Hard/Rev
Custom Red - Complete 30% of VR Missions
Custom Blue - Complete 50% of VR
Custom Yellow - Complete all VR
Original & Gray Fox - DLC/Preorder

Wigs
Wig A - Infinite sub weapon ammo - Finish on normal or higher + 10 ID Chips
Wig B - Infinite FC - Normal or higher + 20 ID chips
Blade Mode - Hard or higher + 30 ID chips
<- I'm missing this unlock as well

So I'm going to try beating the last chapter on Revengeance to see if it unlocks the stuff...unless the guide is wrong.

edit - I haven't got the achievements for them either, but the guide mentions that you do not get them immediately, but only when you finish a file. Which I assume means the game.

So is there a proper order to play through the difficulties if you're going for 100%?

If you know where everything is, you could just do all the collection stuff on easy. Then do the difficulty specific achievements (no damage, S-Rank, etc).

If you really want to do it one time, you could just start on Revengeance but I don't think it's possible without going through the game and having the upgrades.

edit - oh shit sorry, some achievements require you to kill xx amount of enemies. You don't really have to play through the game again, but certain chapters that have these specific enemies. If you kill 90 soldiers in your first play through, just replay a chapter and get the rest, etc.

Shouldn't be too bad. Codec one is time consuming.

If you use the New Game option (instead of continue or story -> chapter) it'll erase all your progress, BP and unlocks. You only keep your VR progress and stuff you've already collected (titles, hands, data storage).

So they do stack after all? Good to know.

While I didn't mind it in Bayonetta, at least this means I can start on Hard and never have to go back and play Easy/Normal for unlocks.

Before I go out and get my copy, should I start on hard or normal? Never played the demo so this will be the first time I touch the game.

I've beaten stuff like DmC and Vanquish on normal difficulty for background.

I guess it depends on how difficult you thought those games were on Normal.

Did you not do release day shipping?
Click to expand...

I chose two-day shipping to save a bit of cash at first, but then decided I wanted release day delivery, but then I guess I forgot to actually change it and then it went into shipping soon status. No big deal, it's just another day.

Any advice for the sundowner fight?

Guy is fucking invincible.
Click to expand...

Wait for him to make the first move, parry, and then counterattack. Rushing straight in will get you diced faster than an artichoke.

Use the dodge move to avoid his scissor and column swing attacks, as well. Those two are particularly devestating if they hit.
