Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance |OT| A Blade Forged In Platinum [LAW OF THE WILD]

The last boss is not that hard.
When he does his "fire attacks", the ground illuminates where the fire is going to strike. Just move, man.When he goes into heal mode, blade mode will interrupt him. Hit the pink square on the back of his head. Also, use dodge more often than parry.
>;(
the problem isn't the fire. It's the first major sequence when he throws the giant debris at you and you have to cut my FC runs out before the second cause I can't line up the BM for shit. It's me -____- I suck at BM
Glad to hear it. But when you hit the final boss you let me know how that goes on Hard ;__; cause on normal ... I can't

I think you can just ninja run under the debris. This will cause the senator to jump down and fight you. The downside would be that you wouldn't get the health kits that fall from the sky after you complete the sequence. I had 0 health kits to start the fight, so I had to get through the whole first sequence without dying. That was fun.
So I unlocked a blue and red body by doing VR missions. Does anyone know the exact stat bonuses on these? It says red increases electrolyte gain at the cost of defense which sounds useless, whereas blue has higher defense and lower fuel consumption. Which sounds like it'd be nice except I already feel like I don't do enough damage.
Oh lol.
You aren't forgetting to move the the right stick AND the left stick, are you? That part really threw me off because I just used the face buttons through the entire game. And suddenly DIAGONAL CUTTING OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE. But yeah, use the left stick to better position yourself when cutting the rocks.

I wish the blade mode UI showed the central axis that your right stick is rotating around, because there's a ton of guesswork and I'm wasting way too much blade mode meter trying to get those arms.

I am not a regular poster in NeoGAF, but I think this matter need to be said.
Why do people (and review site) said that DmC (yes, the new so-called Devil May Cry) is better than Rising? Rising have more depth in the combat area than DmC can ever hope to dream. Yes, the learning curve is very steep and the game doesn't hold our hands along the way like the usual other game, but that's how Platinum, along with Capcom and Clover before them, does it. In the original DMC, I throw my controller after numerous attempt at the shadow cat (Nightmare?) fight. It took me a couple of days to past that one boss. In DMC3 (I know this game wasn't made by all of the original team), I've lost count to how many times the bosses handed me my beaten-up butt in a glorious and shinning silver plate. In Bayonetta, fight with the Jeanne made me literally scream at my TV. Those game also did not hold your hands in any way. I love them.
Now comes Revengeance. Some said it does a terrible job at explaining thing, but in my defense, everything is explained to those that willing to make a freaking effort to press a button or two. The game have a HELP menu, for the love of God.
As for the depth of combat, I am thinking some people just don't understand how to play the game. Yes, with certain patience, you may be able to mash button your way to finish the game, but that's the same with a fighting game like Tekken of Virtua Fighter. Pressing punch all the way can still kill your opponent, but if you can string a couple of combos, it would definitely make the experience a lot better.
Just another two cent of mine. Happy to contribute.

Counter an attack > blade mode > cut off the legs > arm will be in a perfect position for an easy horizontal slice
I used the blue one for one mission and I didn't really notice much difference tbh.

Alright, the gorilla guy who pops up in the first battle of the first real chapter on Very Hard is kicking my ass. He has so much health and he can kill really quick. When he uppercuts me it launches me into the air and then it slow-mos as he hits me over and over. It is basically a one hit kill. What am I missing?
Also what should do the for the left stick QTEs?
Also what should do the for the left stick QTEs?
most players just like bitching. When ninja gaiden came out in 2004 o god...The bitching and that game was a masterpiece.
You can parry the follow-up attack in the air. Just be mindful of his attacks, parry and dodge.
Also, don't forget you have ripper mode if it's too much trouble.
As for the other thing: quickly move the left stick from left to right.
There's just the regular "defend" parry and the counter parry, where after parrying you automatically attack. You get the counter by parrying at the last possible moment yeah. In normal and hard the window is pretty generous for doing this. It tightens up considerably in very hard.

I beat it, it seems like the first part of the battle is way hard. I am so glad he drops rations each round though...

Anyone know this? Or should I just jump into Customize whenever I have points for something
So being a fan of MG I bought this sight unseen and didnt even play the demo. I have to say after finishing the first level I'm pretty blown away. I wasn't really expecting this but I'm loving it. Everything just feels awesome. With a light glaze of that slightly silly military politics world on top to make it feel like Metal Gear. So happy I picked this up.
It'll take you back to the last checkpoint, I think, so you shouldn't just do it on a whim.

Yes, I remember that. I guess this is why games are getting easier and shallower these days.

Repost: Is your character persistant? Like If I go back to chapter 1 on a different difficulty will I retain my weapons and upgrades?
Yes, I believe so. Except for the Prologue.

Final boss bitching. Hard mode. Answers appreciated.
Also are there any checkpoints in the battle? I've beaten this cunt once already but for some reason I'm having shitloads of trouble my second time around :/
Sometimes he glows green and heals, I go into Blade Mode and hit the red square but he grabs my sword and deals damage to me. Is there any way to stop the healing process without taking damage myself?

you have to go behind him I guess.
I actually did it O__O somehow I did BM without the fave buttons and got the health paste yay! I beat the game!
Oh lol.You aren't forgetting to move the the right stick AND the left stick, are you?
That was PRECISELY what my problem was. But somehow after the 20th time I did two sequences and now I beat him! Thanks!

That's what I've been doing. Or am I doing it at the wrong angle?
Hmm I might just end up doing defend, though I think I was pretty good at actual parrying in the demo. Counter attacked all the time. Playing through on Hard for the first run, we'll see how it goes. Just got to the first actual stage (demo stage), totally forgot you'd be able to buy enhancements and so on like other action games.

My final boss strategy on Hard: (by no means a Pro player, just offering my advice)Ok on last boss and WTF I keep dying this guy is INVINCIBLE -___-
I got Sam's sword now but I have no more paste to heal myself ugh anyone have tips? I can't perfect party any of his attacks
I was in a similar situation to yours, left with no repair nanopaste after the giant robot spider fight. I had to quit back to the menu and chapter select the final level, replay it twice to stock up on repair nanopastes (only 3 med packs in the level). Try not to waste any nanopaste on the robot spider, as soon as you see the autosave icon at the bottom of the screen, restart checkpoint, you won't lose any progress and it will refill your health and electrolytes. Don't try to fight the final boss head on, I saw you said earlier that you can deal with the fire, the next thing you need to do is don't go for a long combo, just slash him a few times then get ready to use Defensive Offensive to sidestep his red attack, don't worry about parrying him, just sidestep and you can put in a few slashes before you have to sidestep again, or get ready to run away when he's glowing orange. If the debris is your main problem, just keep practicing and you'll get it eventually (or apparently you can just run under the debris and avoid the cutting section entirely? Somebody said this on the previous page, I haven't tested it myself). There's one or two variation of QTEs where he slapped off your sword, don't mess up the QTE cos you can do quite a bit of damage to him. Don't panic when you're running low on nanopaste because halfway into the battle, there will be more nanopaste dropped on the ground. Take it slow, observe his moves and you'll be fine.
There isn't lol. You have like 3 real combos for every weapon and the special attacks :/ I wish there was DLC with more combos
Omg thank you so much!

Is there some sort of "100% perfect parry" window or something or parrying specific moves crumple enemies instantly? I swear that there have been several instances where I have parried an enemy once and they immediately go blue and prompt for finisher. During the Monsoon fight I parried him and he fell to pieces into a weakened state instantly but I did not get it to happen again

You're missing the green thing. If you hit it you take no damage. That's all the help I got since I just finished it on normal and had one hell of a time.

Did you miss the move list or something? bye

Parrying is essential in this game. Just defending leaves you open to attacks from other enemies, and you just don't look as cool!

I don't have that mode. This is basically the first fight lol.
My problem is that these QTEs are annoying as hell to escape from. It is silly that I'm dying to that more than anything else.
Can I parry it without air parry unlocked?
No i didn't. You get about 3 ground and 3 air basic combos
WTF WHAT

So to play again after I beat it I just pick a chapter right? Going to New Game erases everything?

Yes, they are collectibles.
So I think the parrying problem might be related to the camera problem. Pointing in the direction of the enemy wouldn't be a problem if the camera was better than it is. I'll try messing with the sensitivity more and see if I can find a sweet spot. (It's currently at 9)
Just beat Monsoon and finished Chapter 3
. Kinda stumbled through that and nearly all of the stealth sections. It's... pretty damn hard to be sneaky in this game. (Part of it was my fault, but not as much as it usually is ) Also strange to me how much button mashing I'm getting away with. At the same time, this game is so insane, and I love that Platinum insanity.

Raiden's transformation into the Ripper seemed abrupt/not fully "earned", like... every other Platinum game when someone goes insane, though more in this than in, say, Anarchy Reigns

Combos are not equal to depth. Stringing skills to match your situation and your enemy type, while parrying and dodging and zandatsu-ing them into oblivion, that's depth.
