Yeah really made me appreciate games that don't have knockdown states as a design decision
Some of these knockdowns are ridiculous. Don't even get a chance to get up.
It is a "quicklook"
He already played most of the game on console though.
Wut. Dark Souls is way more obtuse about it's systems. (by design, but still)
Yea some knockdowns are unfair because they may result in you getting more guaranteed damage. In that regard getting hit/damaged in MGR snowballs out of control very fast... you get hit once, get your orientation messed up and misdirect the Parry leading into another hit leading into a dizzy, more hits leading into a knockdown and then some enemy decides to stomp you or blast you with a rocket at that exact time. Guaranteed death in higher difficulties off of that first hit.
Yeah you really get fucked over in certain situations if you get hit just once. pretty maddening.

Yeah, the knockdowns are probably most annoying part of the game, along with the camera, and those luchador gears in the sewers.
I wish somebody would make a mod that leaves Raiden's visor on all the time, looks so much more badass that way.

So regarding blade mode, I figured out that if you use control scheme B, then you need to use the face buttons to slash, letting go of the right stick won't work. This doesn't happen with the default scheme. Glitch?
Also, fuck Sam's fourth VR mission. Did them all except that one. Utter bullshit, constant knockdowns and spastic camera.

In B, you can use the Left Stick to slash
I hate that in either, it's the opposite stick that makes you walk forward when clicked in.

Huh, got an S rank on Monsoon while he kicked the crap out of me. Was expecting a B or something.
Also, holy fuck, you can parry his Lorenz force wheel of death. This game just keeps on giving.

the golden gray fox model is really ugly imo

Got that mixed up, with B, the left stick is used to aim the cut, but letting go of it, at least for me, won't result in a slash. But with scheme A, using the right stick works fine.
What!?

Parry it twice, and you get to blade mode it to death.
Other than times when enemies glow yellow attempt to parry everything unless you're otherwise told it's not possible.
Once you line up a cut press light or heavy and it will cut how you've lined up. Only works for the first attack though.
Holy shit, Sam VR mission 4. On one hand, three mastiffs. On the other hand, the rest of it is pretty manageable.
I died on the GRAD (final wave) with it half dead because my brain was fried and I parried towards its attacks instead of towards the GRAD itself, even though I know better.
Also, when you access Sam's VR missions, is it available for replay via VR missions, or do you have to go back and play it through Jetstream?

The camera really ruins this game sometimes.
The combat is sooooo good

What the hell, two GRADs? Is it even possible to do that boss with no damage?
Also, right trigger still should cut in blade mode. No chance of losing your spot like you can when you move your thumb to press X or Y.

Let go of the stick.

Yeah, but it's hard. It's very manageable if you cheat with the armor breaker sword + sai, though.
It's possible to no-damage it without gimmicks, but the exploding barrels are more dangerous than the actual grads because they're unpredictable.
You don't even need the armor breaker. Start the fight, perfect party the first grad, throw an EM/RP grenade to stun it, kill the other grad using reaper mode and then stun lock the boss grad using the Sai.
Probably old news, but I found this infinite juggle on Sam for a hilariously easy S-rank:

One of the pains of S-ranking Sam is that you either have to get a high combo or collect the nanopaste in the arena for score BP.
EDIT: Works on Revengeance, too.

I'm surprised you stuck with it! Good on you.
I am not good at these games either, I finished on Hard and I don't think I've had enough experience with character action games to cut it on Very Hard.

What combo is that launcher?

Been thinking of getting the PC version, how is it compared to the consoles considering this is Platinum's first PC game? Does it play better with a controller or keyboard/mouse?
Forward forward light, It's a purchased move called sky high.
I'm trying this on Revengeance and he keeps recovering after launching him the second time. He seems to recover from the first juggle pretty quickly so even launching him a second time can be tough.
you can even parry stuff that he throws at you.
Are you doing it during the second phase? He recovers in the first phase, but for some reason he doesn't in the second (when you don't knock away his sword). I just did it on Very Hard and it works. I haven't unlocked Revengeance on PC, but I might boot up my 360 just to test.
WHAT
also today I am fairly sure I parried a sentry gun bullet but maybe not. I definitely mid-air parried some rockets.
Port is actually fairly good, there are some issues that are getting ironed out but it is perfectly playable.
Should probably play with a controller but K/M controls work fine.
No I wasn't. Just tried it on the second phase and it works.

This game is just so much fun. I don't think I've had this strong a reaction to a character action game since God Hand, the combat pace, the move sets, the real ultimate power manine tongue in cheek spectacle, the music, the whole package really.
Getting together a list of issues to submit up the chain of command. (There's a lot going on right now on my side not related to release of titles that is keeping me super busy right now, so expect some delay.)

Thanks, I'll be sure to bu it once I get a new pc.
Just no-damaged Sundowner, the only two main story bosses left to do that on are Monsoon (UGH) and Armstrong (UGH UGH UGH). Both ugh. Both
He was pretty easy to win against as long as you didn't miss the heli. He's easy peasy when he doesn't have his shield. Though I'm glad there is a checkpoint before you fly up on the slider, I suck at that bit D:

Is there any enemy guide? The chunky sword guys on Very Hard block constantly including parries, do 100+ damage with every hit, and it seems completely random whether you can dismember them. This game doesn't even bother to explain its mechanics, because this is my third playthrough and I still have absolutely no idea how to know when an enemy's armor is broken or how to do it. It just happens.

Bought the game because of you fucks, downloading now.
I know there's weapon and character skins in the game, but is there other Metal Gear-isms in it, like bonus items for multiple playthroughs and such?
