I haven't been keeping up with this thread, but is it possible to make the game run at 120fps? I prefer a higher frame rate over a higher resolution personally.

Thx for all this, will give it a shot. Is it possible that I'm underpowered? As in, started on hard so I don't have all the BP if I had run on normal and then new game plus'd on hard to keep building stats?
Nah the game is perfectly beatable on hard in NG, lots of people have done that. Having a +5 murasame blade makes the fight a complete joke on hard difficulty anyway, so I don't think platinum intended people to play normal first.
Cheesing the game. Pick up some collectibles, save, reload your last checkpoint, pick up the same collectibles again, etc...

Sam > Raiden.. I love his moves and how he carries his sword like a samurai.. I want more of him! I can't wait to play through the VR missions!

oh jesus. VR2 for sam is fucking killing me, they keep tossing me off the platform.
As long as you put in some points in Strength for your main sword you should be fine. Stats aren't a problem, even if you had a lot of health you would still get 2-3 shotted by him. You just gotta learn those attack patterns.
And something bad just happened to me. I beat the game yesterday but today I loaded it up and it started me at File 5. I don't know if people have checked how saving works in different computers but my save file didn't carry over. I wonder if this is a known issue.
Edit: Yup I confirmed it. I have the achievement for beating File 06 but my save file puts me at the start of File 05. This is lame as fuck.. I don't want to fight fucking Excelsior again!

Got it, thx. I have just never hit a curve like this in a game. The rest of hard wasn't bad at all but I ran for prolly 2.5 hrs today and didn't feel like I was learning more or getting closer, which rarely happens in most games. Idk how this fight goes on Revengeance but I'm assuming he farts, you die.
I like talking to Courtney, honestly. Played by my favorite female VA.
For the first part of the fight, use the run + Y attack to push the soldiers off the platform. For the second part, taunt the sliders, after that you can kill them in one hit which makes the fight a lot easier.
The final boss is Platinum's best final boss imo. It beautifully straddles the line between spectacular overpowered foe and tense duel battle. By which I mean, there's a good mix of arena filling spectacle and close-quarters block-hit-dodge gameplay. Love the pace of the preceding cutscene as well, it's satisfyingly drawn out.
You just can't get hit. You gotta learn those attack patterns like it's a life or death situation. When you start playing like every hit could be your last, then you will improve.
And don't be fooled by his life bar... it shows that he has 200% health but the main fight is just the first 30-40% of his health bar. If you can make it to the part where he starts throwing debris... you are like 90% on your way to crushing him.

It's a shame Jeanne isn't the final boss in Bayonetta... That'd have easily clinched the title if it was so.

Ok what the fuck. Got to the boss fight with Sam, and the parry system seems to have completely fucked up. I move towards him and press square, and Raiden won't fucking parry more than half the time. When I disarm him, he keeps running towards me and slamming me into the ground. Sometimes Raiden will block, other times, he'll just slide towards him like a fucking idiot, and get his head pounded again. I'm guessing it might have something to do with the piece of shit camera system. Try using the dodge move, get my head pounded. Try ninja running. Head pounded. Try jumping. Head pounded. Fucking pain in the ass.
Your timing is off. Especially with the grabs. That's all it can be, since Raiden will only slide towards him if you got the direction right, so your timing isn't right.

Metal Gear has been using the term since Metal Gear Solid 2. For what it's worth, they mean the original interpretation of "meme", and not shit like doge and trollface.
EDIT: Oh, finished the Sam DLC. Only finished it once on PS3. Camera at its worth. God good, it's awful at times.
Yeah, I'm familiar with Dawkins. I just think the speeches about it by
Monsoon and Armstrong
It really does, I spent over 2 hours on it then took a break and returned to it at a later time where it only then took me like three more tries. (This was on Hard on my first playthrough on PS3 and I didn't have any nanopastes + I was awful at cutting the rocks so I tended to run past them).
I felt so satisfied when I beat him, probably the only final boss I've felt so accomplished from beating in years. MGR doesn't get enough credit for being what all games should strive for at the end of a game, IMO, a satisfying ending -- like you actually went through something so hard and feel amazing after getting through it.

Haven't had this problem anywhere else in the game. I'm pressing the buttons after the red light flashes, and he's not fucking doing anything. Before that, I was either blocking or getting perfect parries.

Yea, he was good. Frustrating, but good. I still liked fighting Sam though. He is really Raiden's arch-rival.
I wonder if Dawkins is familiar with metal gear
I liked the appropriate sentimentality after the conclusion. Bladewolf is also an awesome companion, I'm glad they put him into the story like that after the beginning.
He has four or five different variations of his slash combos, so if you're trying to time them the same way, it won't work. Try not to press the button immediately after the red light flashes, either. With the grab, you need to parry as he's rushing towards you.
Camera brings the game down a bit for me, despite how good the combat otherwise is. It might be the worst camera I've experienced since Bully, and in a fast-paced action game like this that's pretty damaging.

Just finished my second playthrough. This time on Hard. Sam was so much easier, as was the final boss. And I finished it about 90 minutes faster than my original playthrough.
I never used the drum can in MGS4 other than for trolling CQC lobbies in Metal Gear Online, but I use it quite a bit in this game.
Felt pretty amazing just barely getting to absorb an enemy at 0.4% health. Yeah I had medkits, but its the style that counts.

You know what, I would have to say that I've had less frustration fighting this camera than in, say... Devil May Cry 1. There was nothing worse in that game than having the fixed camera angle automatically switch and have the directional controls change instantly. Didn't affect combat, but made traversing in that game an absolute chore.
Is there an actual difference between the drum can and the cardboard box?
I didn't have a huge problem with the camera. At a point I got good at listening to audio/shadow clues.

The camera seems way too energetic than it should be. Especially with how enemies try to encircle Raiden pretty often, it goes nuts trying to pick one to give you a good view of when instead it'd be more intuitive for it to just pull out a little bit.
It's probably one of the action games I actually hate the camera, I didn't with most of the games I've played before even when people do complain about them, there are just so many corridor sections and debris in this game and there are many directional attacks that would move the enemies off screen, plus the game is heavily dependent on parrying that requires you to press a direction+attack towards an enemy, and I think the camera is a lot more zoomed in too than other action games.

The biggest problem with the camera is that it constantly feels too close to Raiden, he blocks a large part of the screen and your field of view is limited. Having the camera centered instead of over the shoulder might have helped as well.
Anyone else had problems getting the game to work fullscreen at 1920x1080? The highest res I can force it to run in FS mode is 1650xsomething, and it ends up over scanning like 1/3 of the screen when I do it 
.
I ended up running my desktop in 1440p and running the game in a window at 1080p in order to get things running decently, but still it's weird I'm having this issue.
Running a 780+i7 960 if that helps.

Not yet. I had a crack at figuring it out today but no dice. Dario ff and FtsH are getting somewhere with the resolution at least.

It's a retread of Sons of Liberty's main theme but...not done in a good way.
One is for fans, one is for "fans". Only using it because this isn't MGS, this is MGR.
I quite honestly couldn't care one way or another because Monsoon is my favorite boss fight in the game.
Oh, yeah, as I stated before, the cutscene before that fight is one of my all-time favorite gaming cinematics, despite the heavy-handed meme speech.
Really, I think
Armstrong's mention of it was really lame, though. Like, I get that memes could be Monsoon's thing, but when Armstrong just starts rambling about it, I was like "Ugh".

Still remembering Mariachi Raiden and how he thought it was the best fucking disguise ever LOL
as for the meme stuff i was surprised to see it mentioned though to be fair there was a decent amount of stuff referenced from MGS 2

Sorry if this has been asked before but is there an enemy list with weaknesses and execution move requirements available anywhere?
Enjoying the game a lot more than I anticipated, battle system is god tier. Listened to the soundtrack before trying the game and thought it was puke, turns out it goes absolutely perfect with the gameplay and find myself with tingles at the back of my neck during intense moments - mostly due to the soundtrack! Love it

I've spent the last 12 years of my life trying to forget Metal Gear Solid 2. I'm not what you would call a fan of that franchise.

It's real super bad terrible awfulness because a fundamental part of the combat itself is tied to the perspective. In something like Bayo, unless you're using certain items, you can still get away with all your combos and dodges no matter how fudged up the camera is. Here you need a reliable perspective so you can properly time the correct parry directions.
I think everybody who's played the game will have been locked in a stun and deal significant damage simply because the camera spun around unpredictably and fucked up their parry.
Final boss took me way too long. 1 hour and 30 minutes. I think there's a lot of mechanics that I didn't fully understand in time for the fight. Enjoyed every moment of it though.
Mine hasn't ever? Maybe it's because I extensively use lock-on.
The only complaints I have is that it's occasionally too hard to track stuff offscreen or behind you, but that's a gaming skill I needed to learn.
