It's still a more natural control style imo, since your right stick is still the camera and you can use X and Y to spam as well.
How am I supposed to use the lef t and right analogue stick AND X Y at the same time? Seriously, it's just bullshit. They never force the precise slashing controls on you and then they do in the last boss fight within a very short timeframe 4 times after each other. It's a very bad joke.
Huge post, but I really felt like replying to all the things I saw here.
This, so much this. Forget every single boss, freaking blade wolf on revengeance is the hardest thing in the game ever.
I hate parrying him, so taunting is the way to go for me.
LOL!!!
Armstrong was always Raoh. If you notice, the punching QTE vs Raiden is similar to how Kenshiro beats Raoh, except Raiden hits Armstrong's face instead of punching his heart. The heart punching is then pushed to the final QTE.
I wish I could mash buttons to escape from stun instead of wiggling.
Pulling this off in any game is really exhilarating. One of the reasons I loved God Hand so dearly, and I am really glad it is present in every platinum game. Till now GH and MGRR's are the best out there, second comes in Bayonetta vs jean.
Stole the words right out of my mouth. This is the exact reason why MGRR is really fun to play. It never gets old BECAUSE it is a short game, and everything you do feels very rewarding. It has a very strong arcade like experience, in which you are thrown with crazy things at a constant rate, and at the end of each somewhat short stage, a boss awaits you.
God Hard is the one hard mode in a platinum game where it really sucks. It limits the use of the suit, which in turn is the reason makes the game fun. Why limit the player in such a way? Never made sense to me. I only beat the game on Hard mode, and the jump to God Hard in that game was insane.
Qurstion: Any tips on not allowing my blade to wiggle when doing the final QTE vs armstrong? I always wanted to do it, but after lining those four boxes, letting go of the stick only hits two.
If you have the correct amount of fuel cells, and it is glowing blue, that means you can slow down time. The more you collect fuel cells, the more you stay in slo-mo.

You have more then enough time to line up everything. It's not like you have to do everything instantly. I assume you have upgraded your weapon to be more energy efficient? You don't have push X and Y as stated by Dario(not sure if this applies to control type B though).
The following applies to Control B setup:
You can rotate the camera w/ the right stick, line up with the left stick, then press X or Y to cut. They give you plenty of time, you only need to cut 3/4 boxes, and It's really not that bad. And they don't force you to do it prior in the game, but it's emphasized via left arms (glowing area) and cutting Sundowner's shields.
when you release the right analogue stick it cuts.
It blew my mind when I saw a video of it after finishing Very Hard. I was like, "wat".
almost bought the game on steam some days ago.
Friend of mine did, we played the first 30 minutes or so. Stopped playing, gameplay and visuals are not fun - does it get better later? So far I am really glad i did not preorder. Am fan of GoW-style games, so I thought this would be really interesting.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
DLC wrapped up. I enjoy stealthing encounters in Bladewolf, and the end boss fight is pretty good, since they snuck in some easy stealth.
Would have loved if there had been incentive for Platinum to keep making DLC, covering a little bit of every boss. Need mah Mistral DLC.

This isn't baby's first action game like God of War. You would probably enjoy Zelda and Darksiders games more.
Yes. It does get better. The game isn't about visuals. It's about fast, frenetic, responsive, skill-rewarding play, and over-the-top sequences. GoW is more about guided spectacle and easier self-celebration. Action game novices may have a difficult time understanding the basic mechanics, but it becomes much better once you understand how to play.
That's priority 2 behind Monsoon DLC.
TBH he could make an entire game, with magnetic platforming and whatnot. Platform Stealth Sai Action.
I know how it works. But even when I get it aligned and I just release the stick, I sometimes get killed. I just don't understand and I think it's shit gamedesign to force this on you that late in the game. It's just plain bad.
Counter-opinion: The Greatest Final Boss of All-Time. Sorry, Jubelius, you had a good run.

I know right. I think they finally got Raiden's look down for this game, especially the prologue costume (which is basically the MGS4 suit minus all the head gear/jaw line mnonsense).
Most people will prefer Fox, but I thought Olga's Mr. X suit waa the best. Not even trying to be hipster, the transparency effect of the mask was baller.

Seeing people post vids again brings me back to the original thread, and makes me start thinking again about how "easy" it would be to fix 2 of the camera issues: Just letting it phase through the environment + some geometry transparency, and removing the auto correct would help a ton. Seeing the camera get caught up in some corner or swing wildly during Zandatsus before resetting to a bad angle as someone gets jumped by the more aggressive enemies is hard to watch. Harder to play through, but still hard to watch.
Just pull a God Hand for the sequel, Platinum.

The music makes it. It's just that good. Combined with the insane lava shit going on.
The part where the VIOLENCE BREEDS VIOLENCE vocals kick in is easily in my top 5 favorite gaming moments of my entire 28 years of life.

Shitgrin levels of great.
BTW, what's the difference between the You're Hired and The Politics of Silencing Foes achievements?
They both say:
Defeat
Sen. Armstrong
The You're Hired one is for the Jetstream Sam DLC, the other is for normal story

Ahh ok, thanks!
It peaked at 12,000 concurrent players on launch. Hopefully it sold much more than that :[

Guys, this game. This game, you guys.
I didn't think I would like it at all but it's amazing. Absolutely fantastic.

Eh, I'm not taking that as confirmation of anything. One dude's rudimentary analysis of Steam charts doesn't mean much to me.
The dream is over.
This game is listed as a top seller at Steam, and Konami is bringing Lords of Shadow 2 to Steam. I'm not sure which metric some people are going by, but I'd reckon future Konami products could very well appear on Steam.
I really want to see Sega port their Platinum titles to PC. A "Platinum Triple Pack" with Bayonetta, Vanquish and Anarchy Reigns would be amazing!

What makes MGR so damn good to play is that while after you put down the controller and think about it you may find many flaws and reasons why it's nowhere near your GOTY or favorite in the genre or whatever, while you're actually playing the game totally convinces you that it's the best game ever.
I was exploding with hype fighting Monsoon in the PC version, actually getting up and screaming, and then I rememberd "wait a minute, I don't even like this boss fight"

The ones you can dodge just by going into crow form on every difficulty?
Steam titles have legs thanks to the sales, the community's word of mouth, etc.

I love Pokken!
Think it may have taken me a while to figure that out. The boss also shoots gigantic ice boulders that stun you and cause you to wiggle the stick back and forth. I think MGR boss's charge attack is easier to dodge than they were. Not to mention being turned into a little girl.
Still love that boss fight, though.
Sorry guys, you shouldn't take the quoted post seriously. The guy is obviously pulling numbers out of his arse. I posted it in hopes that you would get a good laugh out of it.
There is no way that is all it sold

Those are annoying, but not so bad when you realize you can wear Ice Skates to avoid the non-path terain from freezing you in place for them
Ice Skates also let you run around on the lava IIRC
armstrong's moveset is kind of a joke... it just happens to hurt quite a lot if you do get hit

I mean shit, even if that is all it sold at the special $20 steam sale price, that's still $240,000. That's still a good "minimum".
Yeah, it's really just the spectacle of the whole thing that make the fight the best, for me. The soundtrack, the badass cutscenes between stages, the vocals kicking in at just the right time, so good.
No of course not, that is just the concurrent number of players at that specific time.
Armstrong can also crowd the battlefield. All of his eruption attacks, flame pillars, flame walls, area-of-effect attacks, etc.
I like how they didn't even try to explain those moves. Sci-fi has its limits, lol.
yea the attacks are totally badass. I've always been fond of ground-shockwave-explosion--producing punches and shit. his lava rupture shit would make Terry Bogard proud
