METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE

Thanks for the x+a tip!

evading is necessary for those yellow flash attacks. nothing like a stupid-ass unblocked attack to ruin your perfect combat score. talk about obnoxious.

Is KhaosMedic using PS controller with Xbox promt on screen? This would make it jump, I assume. Suqare for PS controller, not X.

All I do is either jump over him or jump into the air and attack. Am I missing something?!

Definitely missing something. Parry = Light Attack + Moving in the direction attack is coming from. You shouldn’t be jumping at all when trying to parry.

The only thing I could think of would be you’re also accidently hitting ‘A’ after the parry attempt which is ruining it by making you jump, or you’re using a Playstation controller.
Other than those two things, it sounds like you’re doing everything right. (You should see Raiden raise his sword into a defensive stance if you do it right)

PS controls don’t properly show up in this game, and it still displays the controls for an Xbox style controller. So if that applies to you, use Square instead.

Yeah, I was trying to parry the yellow attacks thinking it should be possible as the game didn’t say anything about dodging. Just played a bit and combat feels a lot more fluid now! I’m getting hit far far less!

As much as I love the game, I am honest about this: The parrying system sucks.

I figured out how the parrying works. Use joystic at the attacker and press light attack. And if you do it on the very last moment, you can counter the attack.

And that’s the point: This parrying system isn’t made for a hack and slash game like MGR. The enemies move way to fast, the target locketing is counter-productive because the camera moves around like 180° everytime an enemy jumps, and if you are cornered by enemies at walls the camera moves automatically to your position, ruining your moments to parry.

Devil May Cry 3/4, Witcher 2, and other hack and slash games had a simple solution: Have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ button for blocking instead using camera depended parrying. If you still want the parrying system in MGR to work, have fixed cameras instead of free-movement. I am not sure how big the differences are between console and PC, but that is the biggest flaw the game has imo which ruins any attempts to get the game 100% S done.

tl;tr the parrying system is a disappointment for someone who is relying on strategies. It’s completely useless if the camera moves by itself either with or without lock-on. And don’t come me with «this is more challenging», poor design choices or flawed cameras shouldn’t be excused for suggesting challenge.
I’ll drop the game for now and wait for some 100% saves to show up, so all features are unlocked and I can play without trying to stay as S as possible.
