Wow, that last boss was pretty great. Can't wait to start playing this on the higher difficulties. On the final boss (on hard)...
I was really surprised at how much raw damage his moves do to you, I really wished the game didn't drop fucking FOUR health items for you several times during it - maybe this changes on harder difficulties? I really liked that if you manage to be extremely aggressive with him that he will go into stagger states a ton which will also stop him in the middle of his moves. With skilled use of the dodge attack you can ace him pretty fast.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Yeah, that's how I had to beat him: aggression. My first big mistake was trying to play conservatively, dodging all his massive attacks and then quickly closing the distance for brief combos. You really need to get all up in his shit to take him down properly.

There's a goofiness throughout the story that isn't getting enough credit, period. People keep complaining about how bad the narrative is, but I'm loving the cheese. It's a different kind of humor than standard MGS stuff, but it's hilarious.
The instrumentals are on the vocal CD. You could always make your own edit... The boss fight progression stuff is dynamically triggered, so there'd be no way to "make a version like the game."
Weird. Can you tell me where this is happening?
I just received the game and tried to activate the Gray Fox and received an error message saying "There is a problem with the offer associated with this code.". Is anyone else having the same issue?
Edit: Nevermind, I used the search function and got my answer haha. Gotta wait 24/48 hours

Wolf has more personality than most of the supporting cast. At least of the mandatory conversations, I haven't delved into codecs for the sake of it yet.
Codec conversations are one of my favourite features in MGS games. I hope they don't skimp on them this game just because it's not of the Solid franchise.
Hey guys,

I haven't tried my code yet. What should I do if I get that message?
Welp, I finished the game on hard, then chose to start a new game on very hard instead of continuing from r-00, and now everything is gone. All my unlocks, BP, upgrades, even my rankings and completed chapter select for hard mode is gone.
If the game weren't so awesome and I didn't mind playing through it again I would be pretty livid right now.

Just think of playing through Very Hard without upgrades as a true challenge.

That part I forgot you could actually slice cars lol.

Only one save? That's a shame.

No, there are 3 save files. If you hit "New Game" after loading the save file, it will reset everything on that save file and start on the difficulty you selected. To do "New Game+" your just hit Continue after beating the game (which will ask you to select the difficulty for your next playthrough).

You get three save profiles, but they're separate. Seems selecting New Game on a profile wipes its progress, which is lame.

I dunno, Kev and the others can be kinda funny at times. The Doktor focusing on
Mist's breasts
hehehehe
Which store and how much?

Mistral's theme is great, I've had it stuck in my head since I heard it.
Doktor was also good, but I got nothing out of Kevin, Courtney or Boris outside of Boris liking when I cut the tape on swimsuit posters and Courtney not. Though like I said I haven't really jumped into optional codecs so I'll refrain from saying anything more.

Playing aggressively is how I beat the game. I didn't let any boss get a chance to breathe, that's probably why the final boss was so easy to me.

I live in New Zealand. The game wasn't delayed here. Which is weird because our games are just the same copies you guys get with our rating sticker slapped on the case.
It cost $108 NZD.
man i wish. you can't beat that gorilla guy at the start of chapter 1 on VH without the dodge upgrade. fuck it, you just can't. aaaargkhgjlk

Oh you tease
Got my hopes up!
Yeah, I have no idea why the game got delayed for you guys. You'd think it would be the other way around.
hehehehe
; _ ;
Are you talking about the very beginning of the game? I played on hard and just held ninja run and did it on the first try. Didn't think anyone else would have a problem with it.

Just finished my first playthrough (PS3). Here is my (long) list of impressions.
- The first thing most people will notice is the 60fps, it is absolutely gorgeous
- Character/enemy models and special effects look very impressive
- Once you go crazy with the free cutting and Zandatsu, things start looking kinda janky
- Ninja run looks a bit janky at times as well
- The normal combat is very solid and easy to play
- MGR's combat system is nowhere as deep as Bayonetta or Devil May Cry, but extremely fun and exciting
- The two defining mechanics in this game are blade mode and parrying
- The set pieces are no less over-the-top than previous games developed by PlatinumGames
- Some scenes made me laugh and some made my jaw drop
- There is A LOT of replay value. Upgrades, collectibles, unlockable weapons and costumes, VR missions, etc!
- The game does in fact feel a bit short, but not too short
- It is clear that PlatinumGames had a limited time to re-develop this game, even then, it is still a fantastic game overall

Just finished my first play through, I'm really enjoying this gonna keep blowing through this till I finish revengeance then I think I'll hit up the VR missions after finding them all.
Any of you guys drop the 2 bucks on the MGS4 raiden skin? The animation on raidens facemask when activating AR mode loooks fantastic with this skin, I way prefer this than the grey fox skin.
Any of you guys have a preferred skin so far?
Also is the baseline muramasa straight up better than the HF blade? Or does anyone know at which point the Muramasa begins to outclass the HFB, if it ever does.

Thought I would be a man and jump right into Hard.
Shit, this game is hard. Or I suck. Possibly both. I can't seem to parry for the life of me, Gekkos are eating me alive, Blade Wolf was only defeated by running like crazy and then spamming heavy attack when a moment presented itself... Jesus,,,
