No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Was hoping that an RPG would take down a gecko in a single hit, apparently I was wrong lol

Which button would you bind it to? The only one I can think is unused is down d-pad.
Personally, I'd move the camera lock to the R3 and make the R2 button weapon switch.
Actually what about merging Ninja Run and lock-on to R1? Tap to lock-on, hold to Ninja Run. Then you can move weapon switch to R2 without needing to click in the sticks. I hate clicking in sticks.

Beat the game on Hard and loved the shit out of it. Wish there was an easy way to re-fight bosses though. Having to go through the whole mission again really sucks.

Parry, parry, parry! Back em into a corner, parry, then Y+B or whatever the combo is on PS3. Bam, done.
Boss rush would be the best thing for this game, seriously.

1. It becomes available after the cutscene featuring it, or maybe after the chapter is over. Either way it's available.
2. Yes.
Boss rush should be mandatory in every character action game. Duels against humanoid bosses is like poetry in motion and shaming towering bosses is fun too I guess.

Boss rush isn't in many games these days because people complain of backtracking and reusing content.
Madness.
Madness.
I don't know, camera lock and ninja run are too different feature to be on the same button. It could potentially pose some problems when in a pinch. Pressure sensitive buffer or not. To me, anyway. I'd much prefer the stick.
To precisely answer this: Character Action are more story driven and have more varied objectives and playstyles, while Beat'them'up stay pretty bare-bones in their campaign design, along with simpler controls.
Thanks... since amazon is delaying on shipping the guides. Took a quick peek. Grunts health from normal to hard is quite a big jump: 55-65 110-130. No wonder starting on hard with no upgrades attacks feel weak.
It's fine, but I much prefer it as a separate mode.

I dont think Ive ever really cared much for a Metal Gear soundtrack aside from the main themes and credits but this game...man, feel so pumped playing and listening to it. The boss themes are awesome.

Yeah, this. Having it scored like the VR missions would make it even better.

Personally I think Ninja gaiden still does this the best. some of the combinations are gotdamn insane but soooooooooo satisfying when you finally beat them.
That said Marcus/Alma/Doku on such a small platform in NGB is Still the stuff of Nightmares. That and triple fiend genshin
I can only imagine a
bladewolf/monson/haggar battle.
yum
It can only be a boss rush if it's a different mode. Nero's dice climb thing in DMC4 was more like a gauntlet but Dante wasn't in it and you couldn't play as Dante either (you could if you modded a PC version though). It seems like MGR would benefit greatly from a boss rush mode since most of the boss fights are duels.
The cutscenes before it are god tier in awesomeness. About to fight Monsoon myself.
Honestly, the story hasn't disappointed me at all, I'd rank Rising's story way above Bayonetta's, Rising has better characters too.
It's a shame Ninja Gaiden Black is the only god tier action game I've yet to play (and have no way of playing it). A HD remixed version would be something. Though I wouldn't want Team Ninja anywhere near a HD version.
Well I started earlier tonight [just completed R-01] and....MY GOD...this game...
I have no words.
I started on Normal since I can easily see myself going through this one multiple times. I'm designating my first run to gather as many of the collectibles as I can, and upgrading Raiden. I'll then carry him over into Hard and, hopefully, from there Very Hard. I'm not sure I have the patience for Revengeance...
The music, though. These are some of the best boss tracks I've ever heard. They fit each fight so perfectly and really enhances the mood/tension. It's just really...really good.
I'll absolutely be purchasing the vocal tracks CD.

Sigma? Isn't that the first HD remaster of this generation (and arguably one of the best)?
you only lose a really horrible swimming section, and gain Rachel levels and missions.
Outside making the water run easier and increased loading times its the same game
It's sigma 2 which butchers it's source game.
Does that really count though? When people refer to Black, they refer to Black itself, unless Sigma really is a modern version of Black with all the same awesome sauce? I haven't played much of Sigma to know much about if it is the exact same. I always figured it was just Ninja Gaiden 1 redux as opposed to Black redux.
Im such a scrub lol. Took me 2 hours to finish R-01 on Hard.
To be fair a lot of that was dying and restarting at Blade Wolf due to trying and failing to parry properly. Pretty sure I finally got it down.
I know it's been said, but man, the music is crazy good. Mistral song = omg

Hmm, at the final boss. The game starts like typical Metal Gear, and descends into a madness that I'm not quite sure if I like yet.

See above. it's basically the same game. Rachel sections are a bit shit but it doesn't take away from how amazeballs the game is.
Just did the Monsoon boss battle.
Personal opinion, this is better than Bayonetta. Bayonetta definitely has deeper combat and probably more replayability, but Rising is the type of game I've wanted forever.
I love to think of grand and dumbly awesome ideas, and this game stumps my mind in how fucking wicked shit can get. Parrying 20 attacks in a row and then slicing through thrown helicopters and tanks within dozens of seconds is awe inspiring.

Trying to remember all of the combos was a huge headache in Bayonetta, still awesome game too though and really need to get back to it one of these days.
On Hard it did kinda feel like that.
Like the game was saying "LEARN HOW TO DO IT RIGHT OR FUCK OFF AND DIE"
I started a new game again in Bayonetta and I'm trying to learn a lot more combos, I beat it on normal and got through half of the game on hard but I didn't explore the combat system enough.
But that Monsoon battle man, parrying both in the fog and during his extensive combos was so rad I don't know how to explain it. I remember a huge parrying streak and I was shocked I didn't get a scratch on me.
That's exactly how it felt to me in the demo. And that's just great boss design.
"You didn't bother parrying during the stage? PARRY EXAM NAO!"
I can genuinely see Kamiya actually saying that (even though he only consulted on this game).

Having only played three missions...all of that is true. This game delivers.
Well I just ordered the Vocal Tracks CD. I did so via CDJapan [since Amazon was out of stock] and secured the First Press Edition. Supposedly the cover is shiny or something, should be interesting to see. It cost me around $29 shipped [to Canada], which isn't too bad.
I'm glad to support this game in any way I can.

I remember that to beat some of those challenge things and esp where I got stuck if you didnt know all the combos and what not you just could not clear the challenge mission D: thats where I gave up for a while and never went back since. Need to finish it since even with a tiny head bayonetta is damned sexy~
Nope. It's really self contained and the main story is very simple.
Ah I see, thanks. Definitely will pick it up then.

This. There are a ton of references to the events of metal gear solid 4, but it is stuff that you will be able to grasp very quickly.

I seriously evny you. It's still the second most sublime action game experience this generation. Bayonetta only barely beats it.
It's here!
How the fuck have you got yours already from GAME? I want to cry.

UGH I hate the world. My local Famicom House refused to sell me the game a day early. They showed me an email they got from Konami saying "Don't break street date!" The same thing happens with SE games at this place, but I've never had this problem with Konami stuff. Maybe it's cause it's an MG game. Sigh.
