the cat at the beginning of the level keeps dodging all my shit!
All the enemies have to do is train cats to kill people and they shall have an invincible army no amount of cyborg ninja can stop!

Once you get used to parrying this game is fucking amazing. At first I thought not having dodge or block to a dedicated button was balls, but this shit works better than I imagined. Blade Mode gives me a weird kind of boner.

Parrying was the most fun I had in the demo, especially with the dog ripping 4-hit combos.

Pretty much, my entire experience changed once I actually understood parrying.
Like, they put the little prompt up on screen but somehow I just didn't get it til I fought the boss. The game became badass at that exact point.

Maybe I am just a grumpy old man that loves the old way of Kojima and his attention to detail, but the environment in this game makes no sense. Right off the bat you walk into a building and have to climb up. Why? Because the building has no doors other then the one you use for the entrance.

This. When I got the demo awhile back, the lack of a dodge mechanic of some kind seemed weird as hell to me until I discovered how to parry. Made the game ridiculously fun once I got the hang of it.

so being a cyborg that fights shit with a great katana is ok but no doors is what breaks you immersion...?

I know its a game built around its action aspect but I dunno, walking into a doorless room and walkways that can only be gotten to buy jumping boxes because there are no stairs made me laugh. Wouldn't even expect you to be able to walk through the doors but who designs a room without drawing a door.

Just played the demo and got rocked by the dog, I just jumped and ran around until he died. I think my timing is too terrible to pull off parrying, either that or I really don't know how it works.

**Elcura** · 2013-01-23 17:24

The parry window is larger and more forgiving than you might realise. I think (THINK) the better you parry the closer you wind up to the enemy? Could just be attack specific though.

Raiden has met his match...

I need this game in my life. The pole arm weapon looks ridiculously bad ass every time I catch a glimpse of it.

**brozy** · 2013-01-24 21:13

Holy hell i must totally suck, just spent like the past hour trying to work out how the hell parrying actually works....i still have no fucking clue.
I here by hand in my gamers card and banish myself to Outside™
