Is it, or will it be, possible to purchase versions of the songs having the same progression as in the boss fights -- i.e. with vocals kicking in towards the end? Also, is there no official release of 'A Stranger I Remain' longer than the 2:25 version on the Vocal Tracks CD?
One of Maverick's cyborg mercs. They're in a really early FMV cutscene. Not too important.
That was before Sundowner shows up.
I'm not sure if I have the patience for this. It sounds like a massive undertaking.
anyone got the sound track for the game ? can you upload it for me

My kingdom for an instant restart. Yeah, yeah, this virtual reality opening is nice Platinum, but I'm playing these things dozens of times in a row, the effect has worn off!

This happens in the beginning, just a generic cyborg. No one special.
The two bodyguards that get killed in the beginning of the game. Actually, they don't get killed, they survive, somehow, according to codec.
fix this shit platinum!

You basically said my exact thoughts on the game. Fantastic review.
You're point on how Rising makes you feel like a kid again seeing something grand and new in videogames really resonates with me.
overall for all missions
for some unknown reason , i defeat the last boss and he didn't touch me ( i think ) but didn't get the achievement
but i got A in that fight , and S for overall for all the levels

So I was having fun on the final boss, until
he started throwing pieces of metal gear at me. I can slice it the first time, but not the second time. I swear I'm putting the stick dead on, and I'm getting nothing. This went from being fun to being fucking stupid.
its not complete yet, i need to kill the last boss without taking any hit on very hard mode
and i need to find all the geko and kill 100 armored man

Confirmed.
The lamp is fucking awesome.
This is how you do a collector's edition.
I haven't even played the game yet and I'm giddy.

It's been a long time since a game got me to fist pump. I've never played any of the Metal Gear series so I'm going to go ahead and assume that the level of camp is just par-for-the-course but the action is so fucking great it makes everything else about the game better. I've always felt that if you're going to do QTEs then do them right; Rising manages to pull them off with a degree of flair that actually makes them fun. Fluid combat, bullet time with a sword, cheesy vocals that kick up whenever you're about to tap a keg of whoop-ass on an enemy... got damn.
This game gives me feels.

The lamp is pretty awesome yeah, I never had one of these before. They seem pretty safe, how do other electronics affect it and do they drain a lot of energy/power (my house's circuits overload easily, sux).

Wow,
Upon further reflection, it was an interesting contrast to how overpowered you feel throughout most of the game, and how much you outclassed whatever/whoever you were fighting. There's still a bit of "rushed out the door" feel about that sequence, though.
the final boss is a completely different experience if you choose to dodge as much stuff as possible, even the parryable hits. I think that's how it was designed to be, with Raiden fighting with finesse against a charging bull, basically.

So, I'm OCD in that I try to play a game as the creators intended, at least at first. So... they haven't said anything yet about "here's how to upgrade your moves and buy stuff" but I feel like I should've been doing that a long time ago. Should I bother waiting? Will they ever make me go upgrade? I really want to dodge stuff...

Started up Very Hard and S ranked Blade Wolf on my first try! I feel good right now.
Alright, so since the fighting system wasn't quite clicking with me, I just did the first VR mission over and over again until I learned a bunch of new stuff. Now I feel like I have a much better grasp on when I should use blade mode, what you can and can't parry, etc.
My only gripe is that I feel like the camera can really get in the way of trying to play this game. When the gekkos charge, I was trying to run away from them and then the camera would screw me over and I'd get hit. After playing the VR, I realize now I can just parry that charge and get a quick kill on them, so in the end that camera problem doesn't matter, but I am sure it will come up again.
I'd like to use targeting, but it seems to pick the wrong target for me all the time and I haven't figured out if you can just easily switch from target to target or no. Anyone know?

At the end of chapters it'll ask you if you want to customize Raiden (though you can do this at any point by pressing select/back and choosing it), do it and you can change your weapon, appearance, and buy upgrades including moves.

That ain't no shittin'. The intro mission was easily one of the best beginnings of any game in recent memory. Payoff right from the start.

Modesty becomes a woman
I tired to demo to see if I should get this and couldn't beat the boss. The only hint I had was "PARRY LS+X" and all I did was slice at the boss when he did his ultra-damage move. Once or twice I managed to counter-attack, but I had no idea how I did it.
So I guess demos really do hurt sales.

you people
you did it with LS + X
I can't beat the 3 raptors at the start of chapter 2.
I dont understand, sometimes I injure them enough for a Triangle/circle prompt to pop up leading to a kill, but the rest of the time I can only cut off their legs and I still get killed by the others.
Is there something Im missing? How do you activate the Triangle/Circle Zandatsu prompt?

I had this preordered after I heard about the Cyborg Ninja DLC but didn't think I'd be able to get it. Made a last minute decision today to trade in a few games and I was actually able to get this and Ni No Kuni. Now I'm pumped! Just got to the end of the demo part. So far, so awesome.

Just finished chapter 1.
My God. Game is so fun. Combat feels amazing. Literally my only issue right now is the camera which you have to babysit way too often or risk getting slammed from off camera. It just spazzes for no reason and is too close when fighting Gekkos. Aside from that though, I love the combat, love the cheese, love the references, love everything. I'm also impressed with how much codec dialogue they bothered doing for this kind of game. 95% of players won't even bother with it.
Only reason I'm stopping is for the Playstation megaton conference.

You point towards the enemy when they're attacking and press X/[], which you did a few times. It doesn't work if you're pointing in the wrong direction or if you're already in an animation. You can't really mash attack over and over and then all of a sudden parry, at least in my very tiny experience. I know if I was in the middle of that Triangle - Pause - Square - Triangle combo, for example, and tried to parry and it never worked.
Same here. Really annoying during that boss though. Sometimes the camera would freak out and point at the wall, then he'd do one of his big charging attacks and I couldn't see him at all.
Even when using lock-on?

Finished hard difficulty, currently starting Revengeance difficulty, shit's insane, but more or less manageable, I can get past most of the levels without healing items. Ironically the prologue was by far the hardest part, since prologue Raiden doesn't get any of the upgrades you've obtained before, and I'm pretty sure they forgot to take that into account when they raised the damage so high. Literally everything a Gecko does will one-shot prologue Raiden, and there's a Gecko on the very first screen...
But Revengeance mode forces you to utilize all of your tools, I've almost never used ripper mode on my hard play-through, but for Revengeance I always make sure to use ripper mode to eliminate or disarm tougher enemies first, or use sub-weapons to gain the advantage.
Favorite boss fight is
by far, the music, the set piece, the boss design, it was so good they had to devote an entire chapter to it because they know players will want to replay that fight all the time. I never use healing items, sub-weapons or unique weapons against Sam, it's true a samurai duel.

So, after yesterday's Best Buy fiasco, I bought a copy of the game at my local Wal-Mart while grocery shopping and lo and behold, it contained a copy of the soundtrack. If this is the right soundtrack (the one that comes with the LE) then I can keep the lamp and steelbook and take the unopened Xbox copy back to Best Buy for a full refund. Can someone confirm this for me?
Parry like a mofo and
click both analog sticks in when your meter is red to activate Ripper Mode for more damage
No fucking wonder. lol I had got the parrying down for before he got a purple aura.
