Oh yeah, I forgot. To start the DLC story modes, do you just pick new game (whichever DLC you want to start)? And that doesn't delete all your progress with Raiden?that shit is confusing in rising especially with the dlcs

I feel you, brother.
How about "not so fuckin invincible after all"We should change the title of this thread to Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance |OT| Run under the debris.
Or something along those lines

The camera isn't so bad if you crack up the sensitivity to 8, 9 or 10. At that point it's so easy to spin the camera with the mouse that if it screws up just jerk your mouse to re position it. The benefit of that is unlike the console version where you basically have to stop attacking to re position the camera, with M+KB you can fix it while continuing like normal!
Also I might consider recording a small clip about how to tackle the boulders as easily as possible tonight. They're really not so bad once you get how they really work. It's not very strict, also there are a few things you can do like if it's vertical instead of adjusting the mouse just move the blade mode position up and down with W and S.

Time for Sam's campaign
i was told to use chapter selection, but I haven't really gone back to anything related to raiden :X

Yep, picking a New Game for the DLCs won't affect your progress with Raiden. It's safe, customizations and all. I just tested it out, having finished the game on Normal, used New Game twice for Sam and Blade Wolf and then going back to Raiden again for a Hard playthrough via the Chapters method from the Prologue.
fucking raptors and their electrical balls, fuck their balls.
If it's what I think it is, just get used to the window where the stun thing hits you and use offensive defense to completely avoid it.
they appeared at some later part of a VR D: I should've got familiar with them before.
Except for the part where he still thinks the game doesn't have a dodge button.
It is a "quicklook"

Naw, Rising actually acknowledges 2 quite a bit and feels more in line with his character than 4 did. 4 was...I don't know what 4 was.
edit: Unless you're saying to forget 4 and acknowledge 2 in which case I agree >_>
20, not 12!
RAY gets much much harder on Very Hard, but Blade Wolf, Mistral, and the Mexican sewer level were all pretty similar to plain old Hard except for a couple added Grads. Gonna start Denver tonight!

Finally got time to play the game and I played a little so far (the fight with Ray) and I already love this game. It's so cheesy and over the top it's impossible not to grin at it
holy shit I was really skeptical after the terrible MGS spin offs we've had, but this game is the tits !! the cutscenes are really high quality and bring me back to what made the MGS so special. The gameplay is also very tight and super fun, I enjoy it much more than Bayonetta's which felt way too simple. Not that the gameplay is very deep, but it's way more gratifying. Loving this game !!
the only complaint is the camera which feels restricted and made for consoles

It's La Li Lu Le Lo actually and all it is is a codename for the Patriots.
MGS factions and history is easy to grasp. A lot of it is pretty shallow. It's just that there's a lot of it since every game compounds upon another upon another upon another. More wide than deep.
Rising's combat is very fun and very cool but the overall mechanics and depth didn't impress me tbh
Finished. Incredible game, definitely one of my favourite games from platinum...as a side note I've completely lost interest in the games I stopped playing in order to play this instead, namely assassin's creed 4, the intensity of the two games are worlds apart. Playing anything else, just seems so dull right now. Going to play the dlc and then replay on a harder difficulty setting.
Lol I really don't understand all the talk about the final boss being super hard, I kept hearing a lot about how hard it was back when the game released on consoles last year and in this thread too, so I expected the worst. Honestly I found that fight super easy, I mean avoiding his attacks is not hard at all and there are plenty of windows to just lash out at him. Speaking of which, I loved everything about that fight as a whole (all of the parts together) and the cutscenes, it was all so crazy.

How do you enter the Konami code on M+KB? Want to try the super parries.

I'm pretty sure it is, I was doing really badly at first with Sam then I got used to him. I died like 10x to the 2 Gekkos in the first VR mission on hard and gave up, but by the time it came to the fourth one it was easy for me lol.
Yep. His dodge is also tighter, but way more reliable and he doesn't have as much vulnerability frames after it.

Still no 120+Hz fix from the glorious PC modders? Sad...
I'll get my roommate to look into this soon. He say's a 3D and FOV modification shouldn't be too hard to implement either. Couple weeks max for a high quality 3D mod, FOV shouldn't take a day or two. And 120+Hz should have been solved already...
Anyway, when he gets around to this probably later tonight or tomorrow I'll post the mods publicly here instead of where he usually post them which are scene private sites.

I kind of dislike hinting people to run under the debris vs Armstrong
MAN UP AND CUT DAT SHIT YO! Line 3/4 of the boxes, and you are good to go. You also have a lot of time, so don't fret about it.
Blade Wolf in sam's DLC is bar none the strongest boss in the entire game. He is a nightmare to fight vs. Armstrong on the other hand, is actually easier than Raiden's battle. He goes down with 5 charge attacks after taunting him, and he gives you all the time in the world to do it.

Awesome! Can't wait to see that. FOV mod would be really nice.
It almost feels like I've selected very hard. I'll use dodge a bit more to close the distance.

I find DLC Armstrong way harder than DLC blade wolf (never had a problem with him... Don't taunt him, just parry his attacks). On harder difficulties Armstrong's really relentless so finding openings for charge attacks is pretty tricky (you can hit him with one after only 2 or 3 of his moves, which he doesn't use often.).

I struggled on it a lot until Sam 'clicked' and the rest of the DLC wasn't a problem. Dodging worked better for me because the perfect parry window is so small and even if you pull it off most of the time Bladewolf avoids your counter any ways.

Got past Sam's DLC. Fun, but tough.
The next one is going a bit slow, but that will be remedied forthwith.

Amazing game but require time learn for parry/counter

You never taunted enemies? :O
It makes a lot of enemies a lot easier.

Using perfect parry is how I beat bladewolf. Sam's kicks did about 10% damage each.

I know, I know.
Just was that focused on smashing and all that. By the by, the in-air chargeup made BladeWolf a bit easier, if that helps anyone.

Sam's moveset really fucked my rhythm up even on Normal. By the time I finished his mission I got it down but Raiden is a lot easier to handle. I'm in love with this game.
It's also hilarious (to me, anyway... Unabashed Sam fan).
I hate the
. I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it.
I can barely hit a single parry, and never even get a perfect counter when I do. It's maddening. Got him down to 50% and then he wrecked me. That in of itself took around 10 minutes. Not sure I have the patience to do this again and again.
Was enjoying the game when it was just you vs a few fodder enemies with the occasional brute thrown in to mix things up but I'm not digging the boss fights.
Sundowner was a massive bore, took no damage and just dodged him to death, Monsoon was irritating if cool but lasted way too long and the current one is just... I can't stand it.
Also, I thought I might be able to hone my skills by trying some VR missions (much like I perfected Batman's combat by doing their challenge mode) but FUCK that shit is ridiculous. Can't do the second kill all enemies room (mission 7). Just get insta-gibbed in the second encounter. Hell, the first one is rough enough with the rocket enemies. I'm really starting to sour on the game. Found it fun at first but I just don't think it does a good job of naturally teaching you the mechanics ala something like Dark Souls. It's just pure repetition and luck before you get a lot of it down. No decent feedback.

Just want to say Platinum did a great job with optimizing this game for PCs. It's so refreshing after playing the disaster (though still really fun) that is AC4. I'm playing at a smooth 60 FPS with no drops on max settings 1080P. Feels awesome.
If you just want to get through that fight you can use the pincer blades for massive damage. What you can also do is run awar from him, dodge his charge attack, do a stinger (forward forward y), and start running away again until he dies.
Otherwise, if you want to do it legit you need to learn the parry timing of his 4 combos.

Sam is simply just parry, parry, parry. Not much more.
If yer having trouble with him, spike up some stats on your weapon, parry his long-range attacks and you should be fine.

That would make the game so much easier. I truly wish it was in there.
Best thing you can hope for is getting up quick when wiggling the l-stick, and that happens infrequently.
Pretty sure pressing Jump right before some knockdowns makes you get up faster. It's either that or another button, don't know for sure but pressing some of the buttons makes you tech but it's only for some knockdowns.
