There's literally a VR tutorial that explains parrying before that, sure you can choose to skip it but why would you. Other people have also complained about it, but honestly as long as your halfway paying attention it's not hard to learn at all.

Obligatory mention of the drum can secretly being Rising's most powerful weapon. (no spoilers)

The blade wolf fight is also a tutorial in a way, your gonna have a hard time if you don't learn how to parry against him. I had no problems with the parry mechanic, it's actually one of the easiest in gaming, I think this guys getting mgr mixed up with dark souls or something.

A mediocre game that people propel to GODLIKE status because it was touched by the gods of game design at Platinum, the greatest development studio to ever exist.
Play it
It's a short game I've heard.I'm playing it with my 5.1 headset. The music is great.

Exactly, you are invincible if you just hold the stick up and press attack.
Sure, that's why GAF loved the new TMNT game. GTFO with this nonsense please.
Well you can still get hit by certain attacks like grabs, and on higher difficulties the parry window becomes smaller, but yeah, on normal you can just spam it.

Man I need to replay this game soon. I'll definitely have to use my headset when I do for the music.

I played through it myself for the first time about a month ago. Loved it. It's a bit on the short side, but I liked that about it; it didn't outstay it's welcome.
It does a shit job of explaining the mechanics. The game tells you to "push the stick towards an enemy" and press attack to parry. But that suggests you can just hold towards the enemy without needing to time it. But once you get the hang of it, it's a joy to play.

Yeah, I meant it in a very general sense. Most basic enemies will never hit you is what I meant.
This game reminds me a lot of God Hand
a game by clover that barely had any budget or development time
but turned out to be one of the best action games ever made
With Revengeance you could clearly see that they had to cut some corners
but overall they've delivered a solid game with one of the most satisfying combat systems

Probably my favorite game of that year. Surprised the hell out of me since I'm not into Metal Gear otherwise. Still holding out hope for a sequel, but it probably isn't happening.
It's one of my favourite games ever. My favourite PlatinumGames game for starters.
You're still very likely to get hit by stray bullets, though, so if you're going for those S-ranks it's not a good technique.
The parry window is massive on lower difficulties (on Easy and Normal it's super easy to pull one off), but on higher difficulties it gets smaller and smaller (which is a good thing).

Great game
It can look very pretty on PC with some mods like sweetfx, 4k downsampling, hd face, removing that grain filter etc...

I don't know where I'd put it as far as Platinum's portfolio goes, but it probably has my favorite boss fights out of any of their games. You're in for a treat.

Kojima stated directly multiple times after Rising released that he does not consider it part of the story. In the last official interview he gave while at Konami, he stated that the Metal Gear saga consists of Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, MGS1/2/3/4/PW/5. Portable Ops and Rising are outside of the canon as decided by the man himself.
And the whole "it's canon but not part of the SOLID series" that I hear so much is completely ignorant of the first 2 games. Metal Gear 1 and 2 are integral to the story. The "Solid" in the title was only added to reference the series' jump to 3D platforms. "Solid" or "Rising" has nothing to do with anything; the talking point is tired.
Bayonetta 1 and 2 are better.

RIP MGR2, sounded like it was going to happen but when Kojima was canned it got cancelled...

Bayonetta 2 is Platinum's worst game.
I feel I need to remind everyone of the greatness that is the Rules of Nature Goes With Everything compilation: https://youtu.be/ysHp2D8-72E
Lol wut
Great game.
I miss these memes.

In Korra's defense it was a low budget game that cost $15.
God, I wish there was a developer that could say something like that was their "worst" game.
This isn't /v/ you don't have to be an ass for the japes friend
That doesn't excuse it from being an awful ass game. Like I've played better action games for $15. There's a certain amount of quality to be expected and if it isn't met then that game deserves to be called ass.

Kojima's statement was more like "Metal Gear Rising isn't part of 'my Metal Gear Saga' because I didn't direct it, and it's not how I would have done things had I made a game that took place after Metal Gear Solid 4, but it still is a continuation." So he didn't say it was non-canon, just that he didn't direct the game and that he doesn't hold it or Portable Ops in the same regard as he does the games that he did direct (which is not the same as saying "this game didn't happen in the Metal Gear storyline".
you dont deserve platinum, go play CS/wow/lol.
platinum has made tons of good games, iam a tad sad that turtles and korra didnt turn out good.
except those two games, every game made by them is a stellar product.
i enjoyed revengeance and bayonetta(1+2) a lot.
i also loved mad world and vanquish.
i really hope there will be revengeance 2 somewhere in the distant future.
where is this awesome gif with all the nice counterattacking and cool moves like throwing grenades n shit?
Recently played through it myself. I thought it was ok. What it did really good was make you feel like a badass, and it had some fun mechanics and good controls. The dialogue was soooo bad though, with the usual generic japanese overexplanations and talking about a thing that could be said in one sentence for two minutes. I also thought the levels were a bit long and repetitive. Raiden
trying to sound cool when he became the ripper was also laughable, at least with the english VA, don't know if it's better in japanese.
I thought it was an alright game and think the hate for it is overblown. Yeah it may be one of Platinum's worse games, but that's still decent by that metric.
Also lol at you calling out someone for shitposting after your last post in this thread.
pretty sure that's like 80% of the point about jack lmao

I mean, if anyone gets to decide what is and isn't canon, it's him. And he does say in very clear terms in the final IGN interview which games make up the complete saga.

Mediocre compared to what? Character action games are a very small club so that's quite a bold statement . And I'm not exactly a Platinum Stan but I respect the sentiment they're a stellar development house, I'm curious to hear your critique.

A Platinum Stan. Please don't edit.
Ah, you've reached Monsoon. He's pretty much the final exam in parrying. If you can keep up with him, you're good for all your parrying needs for the rest of the game.
By the way, have you noticed that you can control both camera angle and cutting angle while in Blade Mode yet? You may want to aim the apex of the cut somewhere else than straight ahead for hitting difficult targets. And click the left stick while in Blade Mode. You can walk, like Raiden does in the gif in the OP, as long as you hold that down.
