Not quite the run he was trying to make in the failed attempt. He was trying to do it on Very Hard and that video does it on Revengeance. Very Hard is actually harder to do than Revengeance if you're doing no damage because the extra damage you take on Revengeance mode is a moot point because you're not getting hit anyway, but you don't get to deal extra damage for successful counters or QTEs yourself, so the fight itself takes longer.

Edit: Holy loving poo poo the gut punch counter does a ridiculous amount of damage on Revengeance mode! Armstrong went from 73.1% to 1.3% just from that alone!

Edit 2: VVV I'm torn between whether or not I like the cross counter more or the other counter where Raiden does a leaping kick upwards to intercept Armstrong's elbow drop because they're both rad as gently caress. Still, dropping 70% of a boss's life is insane.

To be fair that counter also ends in the cross-counter which is probably the most rad thing.

His attempted run on Very Hard was him trying to do it all over again.

The double kick to the flank is the best just because of that absolutely perfect crunching sound effect they found.

The crosscounter also has a pretty sweet crunch to it.

One thing I've never been able to figure out in the Armstrong fight is what determines the qte where he bumrushes you that you all have been discussing. Sometimes you'll lose your sword and sometimes you won't and I can't figure out what determines it. It's been a while but I think I've seen Raiden block it/keep his sword when I've pressed no buttons at all and sometimes I'll lose it even if I block him. Is it just plain randomness? % of hp left on Raiden/Senator? :confused:

The tell for the football tackle is different from the other ones you can QTE counter. The QTE counters start from the same rush, but what you do influences what QTE you get. You get the cross counter if you slash at him when he rushes at you and you get the double kick if you don't.

It depends on whether you counter-parry or not. It's really hard to time due to the time dilation effect they put in.

Probably not since Hideo had very little to do with MGR. It's all Platinums fault.

Wait, is there something else I missed? The wording here makes me wonder if there is something I missed about MGR2 not happening.

Yeah, I figured Kojima wouldn't effect MGR2 to much, but a man can still have anxiety.

If Konami does decide to treat Metal Gear as a cash cow then it's likely we'll still see MGR2, although I'm no longer certain it'll be a Platinum project.

I'd say Konami might drop Platinum for the second one. They don't make the best choices.

I was joking. What I meant is that it's Platinum's fault we have this awesome game.

They'll find a way. I mean they did put this scene into DmC. I trust they can do something fantastic for MGR.

So it's either MGR2 or the anime of MGR, if we go by what's happened with Bayonetta. How was that anime, by the way? Never watched it, don't know if I should.

It's a pretty by the numbers retelling of the first game's story. They explain everything so the story sort of makes sense but it's nothing special. The action sequences don't hold a candle to anything you see in the game.

Nifty. I wonder what kind of tweaks they'll have to make to get Sam to work in every level.

Also I didn't realize someone covered the entire soundtrack with kazoo arangements.

I saw that on Korn Kob's feed too, I hope it's up and running soon. Should be fun for another couple of playthroughs, especially now that odds are we'll never get a real mgr2.
