Enemies are damage sponges and Raiden is easily the weakest fighter in the game.Getting hit once basically sets you up for death if you are fighting around 5 guys at once. If they land multiple blows, you will be stunned which requires way too much stick waggle to get out of before another attack lands. Especially because once they get one hit in, if you are fighting multiple dudes, you cannot do anything at all until they are done attacking you. I forget what they are called, but robot looking dudes with thick arms jump off the screen and rain down on top of you and although Ninja Running until they are back again works sometimes, it also doesn't work a good deal of the time and they still hit you with high damage.

Some enemies have invisible, unblockable blows.It's actively promotes button mashing X until the enemy attacks. No new attack, no moving, no dodging and no parrying. Combo's often end with a respectively long flare animation (most notably YYXY) that cannot be interrupted to do anything. I'm doing a lot better button mashing light attack than I am actually doing combo's. I'll either have to not use combo's or not parry, which seems crazy in a game like this, which brings me to my next point. I cannot flow into a parry during a combo, which is insane. Getting hit with invisible blows and die). Instead of not being able to keep up, it actually tries hard to make sure the action is not to be seen on screen (example: I'm knocked down, all enemies are onscreen, I get up, camera flips away to showcase Raiden and the wall behind him. So I'm guessing I'm doing something really wrong. I have to say this is by far the hardest game I've ever played.
#METAL GEAR RISING REVENGEANCE BLOCKING HOW TO#
But can someone explain to me how to play this game then? I love games like Ninja Gaiden and DMC and am fairly good at them, so I started Revengeance on Hard. I'm willing to give the game the benefit of the doubt and assume I'm just sucking at it. I've checked some more and people appreciate the combat system. Now, I've checked and this game is supposedly super easy. I have a number of issues with the game that prevent me from having a good time and they all seem like design flaws to me. Combat system seemed pretty cool and the over-the-top-ness a la DMC3 really appealed to me.īut I hit a point, can't say when exactly, where I thought the game was very poorly designed. My first thought when playing the game was that it was pretty awesome.
