Some of the best villians in a game. Honestly, that was the MGS part I loved.

>go into the game expecting nice combat and throwaway plot
>these dialogues
>these characters
>that music
>that F U N
I fucking love it so much, and especially the fact that it had a very different tone from mainline games. MGR2 never.

>Sam is the goat character in the game
>His bossfight is the least intense and difficult of them all
Why must I suffer so?

I had more difficulty with him than most because you couldn't just brute force him and had to time shit which actually carried over to Armstrong well, except they didn't make that clear in any fucking way possible.


Naw Sam was one of the more interesting fight, but compared to the other bosses it was the most lackluster.

It would have been nice to been fighting somewhere more interesting then side of a road with a rock. Still kind of iconic with the powerlines....

but ya...

a third fight with him would have made more sense after Armstrong. I would have enjoyed that more....


if my name wasn't Armstrong.

>least intense
He's programmed with long periods of idleness, so if you match his rhythmic patterns by taking a moment between every clash, it suddenly gets a lot more fun.

>more interesting then side of a road with a rock
You kidding? It's a wild west style stand-off, Sam even has a gun-like sheath. He even acts like in cowboy movies, slowly walking and doing nothing before SUDDENLY drawing his sword for a swift attack

...

>His bossfight is the least intense and difficult of them all
That'd be Mistral though, with Sundowner right behind.

>retards yelling "RULES OF NAYCHAY" at the wrong time
>three times in a row
i fucking swear

>mistral has SO MANY FUCKING ARMS
>doesn't use them for combat at all
>at all

I'm still baffled.

so, who is best boss again?

>that RULES OF NATURE drop

Every one of them.

I loved all of them, even the ones that were easy for me.

Armstrong, but only because of the context of every other boss.

MAGNETIC FORCE JACK

Sam, even if the hand to hand section is shit
best theme too, tied with Armstrong

...

Also don't forget all the codec conversations as well they are on par with main line MGS games.

The codec pacing isn't really like in the main games, and there's a very small window for some of the conversation, but I guess you could do worse with an action game.

no

YOU CAN'T FIGHT NATURE JACK

Not to mention the song has a heavy western theme to it

>mfw mgr is the only metal gear game since mgs1 to have likeable and memorable bosses
>mfw it had more and better world building than any other metal gear game since mgs1 excluding mgs3
>mfw even at his worst, Raiden is a better character than venom
>mfw I'm actually glad that fucking hack kojima got fired before he could retcon MGR

screencapping for future use

Guys i want another MGR, even if not metal gear related, i just want another over the top action game with silly and charismatic characters, fun as fuck gameplay and a godlike sound design and music

W A S H A W A Y T H E A N G E R

Most world building since 1, oh except for the game after 1
I mean, I agree, but you are a retard for wording it like that

It really is fun, non stop fun. Glad I finally got round to playing it .

Platinum says they're about to develop an in-house IP. Let's hope for the best, user.

It's was left open and I'm hoping Konami gets desperate enough to give it a go. Maybe if people spam the social media outlets they'd listen.

>Establish the rule
>Establish the exception
Nothing wrong with the wording you mongoloid.

>Konami listening to fans

IM FUCKING INVISIBLE

No he (you) was just trying to be a smarmy ass and say the series has been shit since 1 but then contradicted himself (yourself)

I remember hating on the very idea of this game before it came out.
What a fucking fool I was.

at this point there is never gonna be a s sequel right guys?

>le ebin kazu maymay
Sorry, user.

Who here /stormbringer/?

I wanna marry the Sunny

Armstrong, simply because of how incredibly dumb it is.

Predictabo

look at the op timestamp

sorry for talking about video games

>the whole thread is spouting shitty memes from game
You all sure talking about games here

I'm at armstrong and it's the only boss which is causing me trouble. I feel like replaying the last chapter on a lower difficulty.

>from a game
>talking about games
is this real actual literal autism

Or you could git gud.
Protip: during blade mode, you can angle your cut the way you want and then press the attack button (x or square) to cut, without accidentally skewing the line. Useful against the debris he throws at you.

That's not the problem, I usually get hit by the shockwave or the lava which stays for a while and it onehits me. The part where you have to cut the debris he throws is really easy.

Well I dunno man, maneuver around it. You can try dodge through it. I don't recall having this kind of problem.

>is this real actual literal autism
Thank you, user, now I can see why many people call Sup Forums a second Sup Forums

I'm playing on revengeance difficulty because a friend told me I shouldn't bother with any other difficulty. It was really bothersome at the start to die from everything, but after learning parrying it got really fun. I'm also out of repair items, so I can't survive any hit. You are right, maybe I should play less aggressive and instead of trying to dodge through the wave I should just run away. The timing is really hard.

There may be problem with the game running at lower FPS. You might want to check it out on forums.

i think its amazing how hard it gets as you increase the difficulty .. especially on the sam storyline.. there was a time where i had to turn off the music just to get my timing right. what an awesome fucking game

youtube.com/watch?v=Ihg43AGynBc

>people have trouble finishing the game

excuse me you have so many rations and shit even at very hard it's trivial

revengeance is a meme because it fundamentally changes the way you play the game into something boring as fuck

the real challenge is finishing the game with a good score

People who have trouble finishing the game are typically the ones who also get stone awards on every single chapter even on easy difficulty in Bayonetta so it's really no surprise at all

I got mostly stone awards in bayonetta before I learned the big boy dodge offset strats and I still think mgr is probably the easiest hack and slash game ever

What the hell? Your friend is a faggot. You should try revengeance after at least one playthrough when you have your upgrades and shit

isnt revengeance only available when you beat the game on hard? i havent played in forever

You could unlock it with Konami code.

oh. i also dont suggest that then. my first playthrough was on hard and at that point even hard was hard as fuck I couldnt imagine playing revengeance on the first playthrough holy fuck your crazy

>unequip your weapons/go barehanded too, for special dialogue and QTEs
holy fucking shit
doing it now, brb

what the fuck, am I just a superior gamer who is shackled by inferior consolet """gear"""?

>unequip your weapons/go barehanded too, for special dialogue and QTEs

Holy fuck. WHAT.

becouse real fight starts only when he has 1% health left.

It certainly is among the easiest, but even it can wreck your ass if the only thing you're used to is button mashing in whatever game that works in
I've legitimately seen people brute-force their way through the entire game with repair nanopastes, not bothering with parries or dodge offset and then claiming the game had no dodge/block moves

so fucking edgy, I love it

It's pretty easy if you're a platinum fan, but I saw people, even my friends who are supposed to be pretty good at vidya, having problems as soon as the bladewolf fight.

>unequip your weapons/go barehanded too, for special dialogue and QTEs
>wolf comments on how you're a show-off and you get special bonus points for the section

Fake

>raiden talks with everyone normally on codec
>switches to his raspy ripper voice and starts saying edgy shit while talking with courtney
Pretty hilarious

Without using items on any, I have beat Devil May Cry 3 SE on Very Hard, Bayonetta on all modes (but only got overall platinum on normal), and got up to Scar in level 1 critical run on KH2 FM. For MGR I beat the arms lady in Revengeance mode and that's as far as I can get.

>tell friend about blade cancelling
>"why would I do this"

are you fucking kidding me

Best dog

This game is fucking impossible I die at every single encounter 90% of the time its the camera zooming into a wall and turning my guy around for a prime combo wombo and the other 10% is just getting spammed by a million attacks at once plus the parry makes absolutely no sense whatsoever

MGR2 never ever

You have more control over the dodge thanks to infinite directions
Blade mode is just aim with the stick then press X (light attack) to cut, don't start waggling the stick all over the place like a madman
Controller is objectively superior even just for the sole fact you can actually precisely aim your parries

as in blade mode canceling?
what fun things CAN you do with it, actually?

Spent way too much time on this game
Can't be arsed to do the VR missions, they suck

They've dropped the ball with the doge, but thankfully unlike tekken or something, the two button input is pretty generous, so you shouldn't have misinputs with it anyway. Apart from the lack of a dedicated dodge, though, controller is superior in every other way because of analog movement.

some attacks have long as fuck recovery frames, tap the blade mode thing to snap out of it and do whatever

It's hard to explain why exactly it's important but once you start doing it everything will make much more sense

VR missions are fun and a sweet throwback, but I hate how long the startup animation is every time.

More games should have VR missions, they're so comfy. Especially the wackier ones, like the one with a huge cardboard cutout of Ray.

>doge
Dodge, obviously.

>They've dropped the ball with the doge
>with
For, obviously.

I don't get this game at all

Its near keyboard breaking frustrating levels of difficult and I can tell its the kind of game that is easy for some if you "get" the game but is completely impossible for others and I fall into this category unfortunately

I gave up after about 3 missions in, I just don't get the game at all the parry and combat is awkward and makes no sense

You cant unequip your sword

come at me faggots

gj

>Keyboard
There's your problem

fucking shoot me in the head
For some reason I only got 4 hours of sleep today and couldn't fall back asleep, and now I'm in that weird groggy state
/blog

>completely impossible for others and I fall into this category unfortunately
I can't even foresee how you can have problems with it if you're even remotely decent at action games.

1) buy dodge
2) parry whenever you see a red flash
3) dodge whenver you see a yellow flash
Shouldn't be hard, right? The only hard thing is timing and direction for parries, but that's pretty generous on lower difficulties.

Woah... Youre cool
