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

You can cancel almost anything into the forward dodge (even the regular block!), and you can cancel the forward dodge into blade mode, so it might be useful to get those invincibility frames for a bit and continue slashing shit.

Oh they still do, thankfully. But to even get to that phase it's still pretty challenging. Final boss defense is MUCH higher on Hard than on what I've seen of Normal mode playthroughs.
And yes, Forward Dodge is the way to go. The i-frames on that thing is STUPID. Niggas stay holding my blade while I dodge into their attacks

I've only got six to go - but I can't properly get a 1st Rank using my current setup. I think the

Dystopia finally gets a use in those VR missions where you need to reach the waypoint quickly, though. Makes me wonder if Platinum had plans to incorporate them into some crazy platforming segments but didn't get the time.

If that happens can you just restart the chapter and get more paste or is that not practical?
Thank you!!
We are editing the concert up now and hope to have it online this week!

So far this game is what I was concerned it would be: incredible when it's an action game, mediocre as a stealth game.

The battle itself gives you paste halfway through.
I mean yeah, it takes a bit to get there but it's honestly not that hard if you know how to parry and dodge effectively.

That is why I did. The final mission is pretty short, and I was able to find three nanopastes around the level before heading off to the final battle
and don't be an idiot like me and use one or pastes where you're SUPPOSE to get your ass kicked, like the prologue. You know you're in the final form when you see it.

lol that was awesome and painful to watch.
"they better not end this on a QTE"
next thing, a big QTE occurs. It just keeps on going on and on.
Hm, I forgot about some upgrades. Are they really affected in VR? Because the FC/HP ones obviously aren't lol.
Ugh, VR 6, Ninja Kill 3 guys, 15 seconds. I'm at 16 lol

So I I love the game, but I can't help but think "im doing it wrong" I had a really tough time beating that mini boss with the chainsaw tail that shows up in the demo. I tried parrying and pretty much got my ass spanked. I don't think I am defending myself properly.
Blocking attacks is L3 + [] ?
And is there a way to dodge? Iv'e been using the ninja run to avoid attacks

No you don't click the analog stick, you push it in the direction of the incoming attack while hitting Sq at the same time.
There is a dodge but you need to purchase it. Parry seems to cover nearly all situations though.

no longer bunkmates >__<You're being weirdly negative in this thread, although maybe, not that weirdly.S ranking the game and getting first place in all the VR missions would take a long ass time.
kidding aside, i agree, Vr missions are almost another game entirely *__*

Amazon still seems to have both in stock.

You got a kick ass wife dude. I have to wait until mine falls asleep so I can revengeance in peace.
Besides blade cancel, anyone find any new tech yet?

wow. I feel like an idiot. Here I am clicking in the L3. Looking at the icon on explaining how to parry it made it seem you needed to press L3 based on the arrow pointing down. Cool.
Buying dat dodge first chance I get.

Don't feel bad, I did the same thing at first in the demo.
You can check approximately how many copies are left by adding 999 to cart, it'll auto correct to how many they have in stock. It however says 999 for example for the PS3 limited edition, so I'm not sure if they actually do have 999, or what.
The dodge skill seems so useless to me. Parrying > Dodge 99% of the time. I honestly don't get why it's available in this game, it just doesn't seem to offer enough evasive maneuverability to warrant its purchase.

what's the best tactic against the cyborg gorillas? Fucker keeps grabbing me while I'm anticipating an attack to parry.
So I only got to play for about 20 min last night, I started on hard but couldn't beat the first giant robot dude. Should I stick with it? If he is easy and I'm struggling on him then I don't want to be frustrated all game. However if his difficulty is similar to the other bosses then I think I can pull through.

I think that's one of those moves you have to dodge (flashing yellow?). Parrying does not work, ask me how I know lol.

Jump the grab and swing your sword to hover. Watch out for the backhand though.
Edit: spoiler because you should consider trying to figure it out for yourself since it's more fun that way
Amazon and Google play store both have it. Amazon is cheaper, $9 for mp3 version.

The i frames on it is what makes it so good. It allows you to maintain good offense while being defensive at the same time. If you use if properly a lot of attacks will whiff right through raiden. I use it on stuff that's hard to properly parry or when I'm looking to stun.

As far as I can tell, the Rev mode and Very Hard encounters are the same. Just that Rev you just die in two hits instead of five now >_>
Oh, and I think they got rid of that red flare before people attack. You really gotta know those moves now

I just have to say. It's not often I find myself wanting to start a game over before even getting halfway through it but DAMN MGR. Platinum did such a damn good job. I was expecting good, but not AMAZING! Then you get that rocking soundtrack (which been a fan of their soundtracks since Mad World.) Man oh man what a surprise for me. I love how the songs gradual introduce the vocals. Such a sweet idea and really dig it.
I'm playing with a friend so I can't play till he comes around and the wait is killing meeeeeeeeee! Bravo Platinum games. Bravo!

Works great against the gorillas' yellow attacks. It puts you behind them for some free hits, then they follow up with a very predictable, and therefore very parry-able backfist attack.

This is one of the best reviews I've seen for ANY game.
If this is the sort of thing you do all the time, you can expect me to watch a lot more of your stuff in the future.
I especially like how you explain the game length thing. Most reviews are saying its about 8 hours, and then some say its short as if it were 4, some even saying that outright. Now I understand why. Not only is the game so awesome you'll plow right through it, sad that it's over, but you have a misleading timer.
You'd think someone would just look at their clock, but oh well.

Everybody has so much more health in Revengeance, even compared to Veyr Hard, it's kinda irritating. Thank God for fully-upgraded Muramasa

My friend just got his copy of the game, kind of unique, PS3 region 3 (Asia) with cyborg ninja DLC code in it. He tried to redeem the code, but PSN always said the code was invalid. Anyone here with the same case made it through?

thanks for the tips! I guess, I need to get used to using dodge more. So since dodging has invincilble frames on start up, you guys usually dodge towards your attacking opponent then?

Dodge what you can't parry, basically. It's also better for crowd control.
Wait for the 21st, when JP copies are out.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Cut and take.
Amazing.
Its amazing for dodging grab attacks.
