the dodge move is pretty much as important as the parry in this game, its super useful
How do you deal with Mastiffs then? Having to stop and Ninja Run away from their grab attack is a waste of time.

So, for those who are interested in either Speed-running or TASing this game, I have a nice little trick that I found that may or may not be TAS-able only.
In any fight where there's an automated sentry firing at you, if another enemy attacks you and you parry, you can actually parry the bullets. Sometimes, this actually results in a counter, and you can counter enemies that you'd usually have a hard time countering against like Geckos.
What's interesting is that when you do this on Revengeance, it's ridiculous because the counter damage is insane.
I found this out by doing the prologue on Revengeance and fighting Ray on his second form on top of the roof. He was going to do that face attack and I was going to parry it. Usually what happens is you parry it and you're able to cut his face doing around 30% damage (?).
What actually happened was that I perfect parried a bullet and countered him and it immediately rushed to the missle phase.
I expect this can also work on sundowner with the helicopter and some fights where there are automated guns (if you're doing an all fights run)
Anyways, thought I'd share this little trick. Hopefully it gets used if it's possible to duplicate

Ninja Running whenever moving helps. Also launching /parrying whenever possible.
The
fight with Sam is utter bullshit. I had no problems with Raiden on Hard, but Sam just doesn't seem to have the right tools. I'm on about my tenth attempt and it's just a stupid dodge-fest, where any mis-timing results in 40% damage. Meanwhile, my attacks do about 0.1% per hit.
Disappointed with the Sam DLC overall. Good thing the main game is so awesome...

Tip: Taunting lets you do ALOT more damage to every enemy. But you take damage from parrying. If you have the dodge down, then taunt and try to get in with some lights + charge attacks if you can manage.
This. A charged attack does at least 10% damage to Armstrong if he's taunted. You can hit him with charged attacks after he does this move where he explodes and during his move where he makes cracks in the ground (if you're quick you can land 3 charged attacks during this attack, which will almost make him go to the next phase of the fight). I wouldn't recommend to use light attacks though, spamming quick draw (Y, Y) does more damage and when Armstrong starts spamming his grab move you have just enough time to do one of those in between each grab. It works really well.
I keep forgetting that Sam has his taunt ability lol
Just finished up the Blade Wolf DLC, wasn't too bad, I enjoyed the boss fight.
Hot Wind Blowing is fucking amazing though, holy shit.
Only thing I'm worried about if they do a sequel is will they be able to match how amazing the soundtrack is in the first one.

Or how amazing Armstrong was as a boss.
Yeah that too.

If there's one developer I trust to go bigger and crazier, it's Platinum. When you're teaming up with a resurrected Sam, and Raiden's body has combined with Blade Wolf's (Constructicon-style) to fight Turbo Solidus on the roof of the White House at the end of Revengeance 2, Armstrong is going to be nothing more than a quaint memory.
Yep. After playing Bayonetta 1 I didn't think they would go any crazier, and TW101 proved me wrong.

Honestly, Platinum could do a lot with Solidus's old design. Duel katanas, missile-shooting-and-gripping tentacles, fire-trail dashes, strength-inducing boosts, on top of an even more interesting movelist they could give him.
Jack the Ripper meeting his maker (again) would be worth it for the cutscenes alone.
This would be crazy hilarious. If that really happens, and Raiden+Blade Wolf go full on power ranger like construction style with crazy ass animations, I would probably be laughing for a solid 5 minutes.
I want this game yesterday.

I can already picture lines like "I am Metal Gear Raiden!"
Also no White House, we need to go bigger, the final fight needs to happen at the Apollo 11 USA flag on the moon.
I'm honestly kind of worried about the canned PR response now, as they have been so candid with information in the past.
I'm not too concerned. There are many reasons why JP might have responded that way. It could be per the advisement of Konami because of JP's previous candor. Or it could be that JP doesn't want people to start posting about a MGR patch incoming when they don't have a timeline prepared.
Are you moving both camera AND cutting angle? You won't get a proper lock if you aren't. Also, you only need to hit three out of for of the boxes for it to count.

It took me a lot of attempts to get the hang of it. Using both sticks is crucial.

Are you flicking the analog? That's one thing I noticed with when my friends played it, they hold the direction and then flick to the opposite side in order to cut, but that will only give you two slashes instead.
The cuts on the rocks are actually really forgiving. You just gotta make sure you hit all 4 squares and you're good. Hold a direction and just let the analog go like a slingshot.
BumperLips

Could just hold it in the right direction and press either light or heavy to cut in that direction as well. Makes it alot easier.
You don't need to be perfectly aligned for it to cut. Since that part is quite hard, the alignment/timing is quite lenient.

I got an A on Monsoon and nearly had a heart attack, but reloading from checkpoint let me do the blade mode QTE again which gave me enough hits to get an S. I also missed a really easy fight in the Bladewolf DLC on Revengeance, every other chapter was an SMOTHERFUCKER.
Edit: Just ran the chapter again, managed to get everything, and I beat Monsoon first time! Thank god for that, think he must have felt sorry for me.
.If I recall correctly, you technically don't need to hit ANY of the boxes on this segment, as long as you're in the general parallel direction/area, you don't take too long, and you don't slash twice. This requirement may change on the higher difficulties, but I'm not sure.

So is there a mod that lets you go windowed 1600x900?

Just a quick question about the PC port. Did they fix the camera problem? You know the camera being in a random angle and you can't see the enemies etc.
TC McQueen

Nope, I was just playing through the Dwarf Gekko section again and every time I went through the tunnel where one of the secrets is, the camera would lock to perspective I had while going through it. I kept having to restart the checkpoint to deal with it.
Also, for some reason, I can't get past the room with the control panel to switch from the Dwarf Gekko to Raiden. I see the "Attract Attention" logo fine, but there's no button prompt and button mashing doesn't help.

I hate how I can't see where the enemies are and I get hit. This is very annoying especially when I am going for S ranking and no damage bonus. It is not my fault and I have to restart the battle.
Is there a mod or an unofficial patch for this?

Holy fucking shit, I finally did. Thanks for the advice on using both analogue sticks and flicking them when I want to cut. Fuck that fight though and it's zandatsu bullshit. It completely ruined for me what was otherwise a pretty challenging encounter. It took me around 20 tries to figure Armstrong's moves out and another 50 to properly do the 3 cut sequence. Overall a really fun game though. I'd definitely be down for another one.
Well I said that after 2-3 weeks if this game didn't get a patch I'd just release my patcher (been done for weeks already), so here you go. In case you don't want to use a program, you can always just apply the manual patching for the latest version with these addresses. Keep in mind this will only work for the latest version of the game (The first patched version), so if they do any further updates this tool will be useless until re-done (I'm hoping they add proper resolution support with the next patch anyway).
Download here. (Updated as of 04/17/14) This should make a backup of your exe before patching on the same folder if it doesn't exist yet, but feel free to make one of your own just in case.
Few things to note.
Don't forget to check out my other mod as well if you want for removing the grain filter.

- Weird behaviour with shadowmaps at very high resolutions. It's probably related to VRAM usage?
- You have to re-select the resolution each time you boot up the game. It's annoying, but it's due to the way the game tries to autodetect the resolution on the display list it should use. (i.e., if you use 1600x900 and boot up in that resolution, the game will try to cap it to the next lowest resolution, 1366x768)
- Might not work in fullscreen if you don't have the display mode available due to this game requesting the refresh rate of it.
If you have 1440p available on your display modes yet you have a 1080p monitor over HDMI, using this hack will actually fix the 24/50hz bug as a side-effect because 60 HZ will be the only mode for 1440p by default.The new patch has rendered this trick useless, as it now detects the first refresh rate based on the desktop resolution with any mode selected.- Should work fine in Windowed mode.

I asked this in the Steam thread, but was overlooked about Grief being banned. I have the game installed, but on Steam appears like I don't. It tells me to install, but I can access the game normally through the steamapps folder.
It is on a external HDD, but almost every game I have installed are on that and they don't have this problem...
Steam glitch maybe?

Something I've always neglected to ask with this game; has anyone found a (close-to) surefire way of getting out of blade mode quickly once activated?
I seem to really need it for some VR missions of the Steam version.

It should stop immediately if you let go of the button, unless you've got it set up as a toggle. In that case, tap the button again.
Just quickly hit the blade mode trigger again.
OOOOOOOH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
CAN THEY PLAY DVORAK AS WELL???? PLEASE
HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE
I'm with you man. I just finished that fight, and that whole thing was bullshit. The camera was awful, the hitboxes for the fire are bigger than the actual fire, they give you almost no time to set up those zandatsus, his grab has absurd range, and no hint of what you're supposed to do when he heals (I had to use a faq). It's the only fight in the entire game where I felt it was just a matter of luck.

MGROverride looks great, thanks Dario. If Maldo releases his HD textures pack (if he's still doing it), I would love to play with those at 1440p.

After watching Two Best Friends Play MGR, I figured out why I couldn't get past that section: the game locked the dwarf gekko into the rolling position as soon as I passed the checkpoint.
Going in through the title menu fixed it, but man, that was the first potentially game ending glitch I've seen in a long time.

Yep, was the most challenging part of the entire game for me.
