After all these years, I finally completely finished Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
One of the most incredible, kick-ass, and sometimes frustrating games ever made. I kept it installed for many years, occasionally jumping in for a level or two, but last week I decided I really wanted to get all the achievements, just to force myself to play it at a higher level. And so I did!
I loved going through the campaign for the S ranks, only Monsoon was a bit hard to learn, the second fight of Chapter 4 sucks, and the final Armstrong phase was a bitch to pull off without taking damage. But chapter by chapter I bettered myself and for the most part, Revengeance difficulty was not all that hard, especially with the Wigs at my disposal.
The Jetstream Sam DLC on the other hand, which I had to finish on Revengeance within an hour, was all around just hard and frustrating as fuck. Not gonna lie, I did not have much fun, but I wanted to get through it. I really had to grind my way from checkpoint to checkpoint, and get a firmer grip on a wildly different character. I did not realize how useful the taunt really is, until the Armstrong fight, which is insanely hard I might add.
The DL-VR missions were mostly fine, except for two or three that really messed me up for a few hours. Number 27 stands out, where you have to flawlessly Zandatsu about 10 poll troopers, then a Gekko along with 3 Mastiffs (pure chaos), then a bunch of rocket launchers, and finally 4 Fenrirs.
Now I can finally uninstall it, and continue to pray for a sequel.
I’ve got a serious 2D/traditional Zelda itch. Never played any iteration of this game.
