Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Konami's giving away free MGS4 Raiden skins for people who sign up for their Konami Core program. I think PS4 skins are out, but broboxers might still be in luck. I'd already bought my skin with extra points scrounging around, but maybe you guys can make use of it.

[Kiarax]

I got to Monsoon and couldn't beat him for about an hour(hard/first playthrough). I took a quick break to get something to drink then beat him without getting hit. I'm not sure what the fuck that was about. Loving the game so far. It's like DMC/Bayonetta's perfect baby.

For people that platinum'd it, would you say that it's harder than Vanquish's platinum? Vanquish wasn't that bad till that last challenge. Holy fuck was that crazy.

[SilentGrief]

Challenge 6 in Vanquish is harder than anything in Rising, but that was the only difficult part about it. The only thing that comes close to it here is VR 17-19.

VR mission DLC is out.

Missions seem easy enough, the last one (30) features every enemy type and ends with a wave that has:

2 GRADs and 3 Fenrirs.

I wish I knew sooner that Defensive Offensive has i-frames. Makes shit so much easier. I think I prefer it over parrying especially when I'm certain I won't get the perfect counter because it allows you to combo off of it instead of being locked down for a sec from parry. I'm sure there are some enemies that parrying is better against, though.

You can option select parry with it too. Its actually pretty broken in general.

(This may or may not have already been posted here but just to be sure

When faced with an attack with a lingering hitbox, the GRAD's melee attacks for example, it can be difficult to judge the exact moment to dodge when things get really busy. It turns out that the Block or Parry can be executed during an Evade animation.

This nuance allows you to enter both commands in rapid succession to almost guarantee safety in situations where your timing may not be accurate. What I'm doing here is Evading with the timing (I think) is correct, but backing it up with a Block command just in case it isn't. If the Evade is too early I Block, if it's absolutely spot-on I Parry it's pretty much a win-win.

Another thing to consider is that the opening frames of an Evade are invincible, if you get the timing right you can land a Parry within the invincible frames to guarantee it. This is the equivalent to the Roll-Parry in Devil May Cry 3.

[KuroTsuki]

Yeah, that looks pretty broken. I also love that it allows you to get out of long animations quicker.

Also, I'm assuming he's constantly going in and out of Blade Mode to cancel out of animations? Didn't think of that. Definitely looks faster than Defensive Offensive cancels.

[Elcura]

I thought something weird was going on with dodge, nice to know I wasn't going crazy when I did this by accident. This looks like it deserves another revengeance playthrough.

Konami today announced that the DLC Virtual Reality Missions is available now on the Playstation 3 Entertainment System. Free for a limited time, the DLC adds 30 all-new missions to the game, featuring the classic VR look inspired by the original Metal Gear Solid VR Missions. The pack is pure, uncut gameplay that introduces a host of unique new challenges that will push Raiden's skills to its limits.

Along with the VR Missions, Konami will release two additional Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance downloadable content packs starting this April. The first DLC pack, Jetstream, will be a side story featuring Sam as a playable character. The second pack, Blade Wolf, will allow players to control the enigmatic Blade Wolf and will showcase his side story. Both DLC packs will feature multiple hours of gameplay including unique abilities and characteristics for each character, while also expanding on each of their storylines and origins.

The VR Missions DLC is available now for free on the PlayStation Playstation 3 Entertainment System.

The Jetstream and Blade Wolf DLC will be available in April for $6.99 for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.

Nice. I'm actually a bit surprised by the price for the 2 DLC's. I was expecting the usual 10-15 pricing.
