Ninja Run to prevent the stray bullets, I'd wager is going to be abused for that mode.

I think that's only after you do the heavy air combo. Raiden slams his foot to the ground with his sword, then he backflips to recover from it.

That's right, that was just me being silly thinking it was my back input that made a difference

Parry, always parry. The answer is always parry!

Maybe it's in the collections menu at the title screen?
I keep dying on the 2nd section of the exploding bridge.
Funny. My first run through the game, i aced that section. But now anytime i played chapter one, I almost always die on that section too.

Blame Konami
Yeah, it's not available on the 360 yet either. Wtf is Konami thinking?
Oh, I see. I was hoping it was another sword.
Do we have a list of requirements needed for the extra gear?

The game is quite forgiving on Hard, or it can be a real asshole if you're looking to S-rank. You shouldn't get stuck but you might be frustrated if you're a perfectionist. There's health items up the wazoo, just don't forget to equip them (that's why I died so much in
the sewers
Yes. You can also equip rations that automatically raise your health back up like in past MGS games, making it difficult to die easily.
Customize menu, but because Konami knows how you and I (rightfully) think, they've made it 20,000,000 BP to unlock it and the sword. ENJOY! *Kojimatrollface.jpg*
Go to customize, and change your body. You gotta buy the unlock though.
Seriously? Maybe I need to try that with every game post SNES lol.

I just had the soul-crushing realization that I'm going to buy every bit of DLC this game offers me. As someone who's generally against DLC unless it's done GTA IV style, that makes me feel pretty bad.

I bought the MGS4 Raiden skin even though I don't technically have the game yet. It's by far the best looking skin after the suit, by the way.
Konami has a habit of doing it every Konami game. Shit, even DDR on X-box has a Konami code thing in it.

So, is their any specifics on what changes in the harder difficulties aside from damage and life increase? I know some of the enemy placements gets changed up, but I heard people saying that enemies/bosses get new attacks, too?
Yeah, V Hard is harder than I expected. I decided to play Hard and I'm pretty sure the enemy type pacing is the same as Normal. It's way easier than Very Hard but not mindless and noticeably harder than the demo. Maybe not unlike playing NGB on Normal for the first time?

Codec is really cool in this.
Doing it after anything happens on my first run to get it out of the way. You can skip lines with triangle since you can read faster than they talk.
explains alot. Like the reason everyone's blood is red now, why a modern missile lancher was thrown off by flares in the opening chapter why enemies drop health packs and if Raiden can harvest civilian cyborgs for energy. basically an answer to ever question possible that you'd never ask
What I like the most is that Raiden isn't written like an idiot for them. He actively participates in the information dump for the player and as a result doesn't come off as a simpleton like the snakes tend to in previous games.(correct me if im wrong though as I stopped using codec as much after 2 )
I'll probably stop as soon as I hear that trophy chime, but I'm not hating this as much as I expected I would when I first saw the pack.

Beat it again on hard. My total playtime on my save file is around 15 hours. Now I have to finish up very hard and revengeance. I have to say, I think the final boss will go down as one of the most entertaining characters in the series. It's so ridiculous you can help but laugh. If only the rest of the plot was as unabashedly retarded as the endgame I think I could've enjoyed it more. Platinum Games knows exactly what they were doing, no fucks were given. :lol

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Finished the game. Fucking loved it. I haven't played a game this good in a long, long time.
Gotta say, I found the game really tough for a while. I felt like having played a lot of Ninja Gaiden prior to this kinda worked against me, because ninja run is not the same as blocking... you try and play this game like NG, and you will get stomped. But I liked that -- this didn't feel like Bayonetta with a Metal Gear skin or something like that -- it's genuinely unique. Oh, and the final boss is an amazing character.
And it's still kinda crazy this game even exists when you think about it... even crazier is that kids who go out and buy this game might not even be aware of MGS2's Raiden. I feel old.
Anyway, my eyes fucking hurt. Played waaaaaaaaaaaay too much of the game for one day.

Does anybody have the solution to VR Mission 006? I completed it in 21 seconds, can't do it in 15 sec for gold rank, I feel like this is more of a puzzle than a test of your infiltration skill, can't even use any item to distract the guard.

Started my second playthrough on hard now. Seems that the infantry isn't much harder. You just take more damage. The first boss wasn't hard either. Helps to have all my upgrades.
I'm dreading the final boss on hard though...

Unless you can't block or parry, and fail at Zan-Datsu every time, there's not much point playing on normal. Zan-Datsu recharge is a comfort blanket that is far less cheap feeling on hard, and even then still provides a nice buffer against challenge. I think you'd be doing the mechanics a disservice to play on normal. It's far too easy.

Is there an easy mode for people like me? Keep in mind that I liked DMC2.
