I'm at the LQ-84i and parrying being really wonky is kinda annoying. It works sometimes if I mash it, but it doesn't come out at all 95% of the time and I get a light attack even though I'm locked on and pulling the left stick towards them. I've spent most battles up to now practicing parrying and the timing, and it seems really random. Parrying doesn't really feel like it works 
I thought you could parry all attacks? Boris said you can parry when being hit, but it never comes out at all there either? What about in the middle of a combo? I can't do anything when I'm slicing him up and he gets ready to attack, it takes too long to get out of the recovery frames for the attacks to parry.
e: I beat him earlier, parrying feels so much smoother against the normal enemies.

I was about to come into the thread and ask if we heard anything.
I messaged Tora about it last week and he said that he sent a bug list to Kojima Productions.

I think KojiPro looks over the changes first before everything goes out and that makes things take a lot longer. It was the same after the ZOE2 HD patch was announced.
The camera in this game is crushing me. Spazzes out in the blade mode portion every time.
I was just thinking that, whenever I'm wearing a box (as well as other times) I'll turn it one direction and the camera will force itself back facing forward, so annoying.
Yeah, it's rough. Finally beat this game though, def satistfied.

A new patch out? Apparently they fixed the armstrong fight or something. I hope it fixed the resolution hdmi problem as well.
Awesome, been waiting for this, really don't like raiden's face. I hope it works with the inferno armor as well.

Looking at complaints here: http://steamcommunity.com/games/235460/announcements/detail/1387412155878494752
The patch didn't address the resolution/fullscreen output issue, it actually made them worse by now affecting more people. Ouch.
So, by not addressing the biggest issues reported with this port, they made it more prominent. Welp

Ouch. I wonder how long its going to take to fix, because that is pretty much the only thing keeping me from playing at this point. Just seems odd for something that was supposed to be at 1080p, to only have issues when playing at that resolution. Broken record sounding at this point though.
It's a shame, yeah. I love this game, so I hope they fix it for good

Bah, just tried to play the game and after running it at 1080/60p, full screen no problems since release the game now switches to 1080/24p with my TV. I remember reading about this issue around launch but never had any problems.
I guess the patch has messed this up somehow. I can play windowed mode until it's fixed, but a slight annoyance.

I didn't even realize about the new patch. The Armstrong fight finally works for me now. Didn't know about the new problems that came with the patch though; not affecting me right now, but I hope that gets fixed for you guys asap.

How do you use SweetFX with this game?
Can't get it to work.
Can't get it to work.
I think im just going to have to force myself to play with the borderless windows or the black bars without it. Its been far too long since the game released and I havent really touched it.
Sucks that the screenshots arent effected but videos are.
EDIT: Well now I feel dumb. Fixed the issue, but I did it by changing to all available refresh rates, and making sure overscan was set to 0 on each refresh rate available for 1080p. Actually worked...so I guess its just the game uses some strange refresh rate?

Anyone happen to have the last version of the exe available? Want to get this to 60 on my laptop but the update broke the custom res tool.
Nope, I wasn't even aware of the new patch nor that this thread was bumped. It's expected that it doesn't work since it patches the exe on certain addresses, and even the slightest update would break it. I was hoping a new update would have rendered this tool redundant... but somehow they even made the display detection worse. If this is needed again, just shoot me a PM. It only took a few minutes to re-find the values.
I'll quote my old post with the updated patcher, and with some new notes.
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.
- 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.
EDIT: Oh, the thread was moved to Community. No wonder I didn't see anything.

Thank you so much! <3 I can it perfectly on my laptop now.

I've got a work around.
Launch the game in 1080p - window'd mode
Change to full screen
When I'm going to turn the game off, switch back to window'd mode.
Stupid auto detect.
So, after a few months, I remembered I was trying to beat this game on Revengeance difficulty. So, I jumped back in to play on. From chapter 2 onwards.
And I reached the boss. I already knew it had a dirty trick from Very Hard, but I didn't know just how much its damage output had been increased. That's like, a completely different fight on Revengeance because of that. Mess up once at range and Raiden is down three nanopastes, if you're lucky. Get into a corner and you're dead.
But I prevailed.
Next up, chapter 3. I'm sure nothing in chapter 3 will be stupidly difficult. Yup. Nothing dangerous coming up here.

Good old Armor Breaker to take care of the minion GRAD in two hits, then switch to Murasama + Sai to fish for a perfect parry on the main GRAD. Many, many retires later and I finally got that parry. -70% HP on the GRAD. then I just had to mop up down to 10% and finish it.

I dread Revengeance Monsoon. Those combos..."

I'm stuck on that Chapter 2 boss. It is brutal and may be the end of my Revengeance playthrough unless I find the time and determination to torture myself. Still love this game.
It's one hell of a fight. No way I'd have won without both a fully upgraded Armor Breaker AND Murasama. The Armor Breaker is just that good on Revengeance.
You just gotta realize that the game, more or less, only has three kinds of enemies. Enemies you can cut in Blade Mode any time, enemies with armor, and bosses.
The first you can take out easily. The second you have to Armor Break, and the bosses are immune to total Armor Break. So, Armor Breaker for the first two, Murasama for the latter.
And yes, the Armor Breaker works on the
second GRAD
Well deserved edit: I DID IT! I've joined the Revengeance Club!

Completed the game! GREAT stuff. A bit torned about the last three chapters being extremely short. Especially Chapter five (just a couple of small levels) and six (basically just a boss fight). Seven was also short, but the Armstrong fight made up for it!
Started over on Hard, and was surprised to see S ranks clocking in R00 and R01. I guess I learned a bit playing the main game on normal

Just started this and logged about 4 hours. Pretty stupidly fun at the moment even though the variety is lacking. Boss battles are batshit insane so far
. Also holy shit at Raiden's batman voice. So bad that it's good. I keep expecting to hear him say "you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
just beat monsoon

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
Parrying is your main form of defense. Flick the Left Stick in the enemy's direction while hitting Light Attack at the same time. Mastering this technique will let you block and/or counter almost any physical attack.
The game's "backdash" is called "Defensive Offence". You have to purchase it from the Customize Menu first. The actual input is Light Attack + Jump. Use it with Left Stick to dash forward or to the side. Defensive Offence also has invincibility frames that let you phase straight through attacks if you time it correctly.

Ugh finally beat Monsoon on hard with no damage. Spent like 2 hours on it but feels good. Dodging his sai attack was probably the hardest part for me.
I would kill for native resolution of 1600x900

Decided to pop this back up again on steam and finally got that one achievement I've been hunting for.
It's not the last one by any stretch but I always wanted to get it done but never really did

Got this on Steam sale and wow this game is fantastic. How does this compare to Bayonetta 1/2? I kind of want to pick up the game and am curious if it is as good as thi?
The difference between MG Rising and Bayonetta is like the difference between Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry. They are similar.. but not really.
(Bayonetta is better)
