      Codecs update pretty darn often, and are also available during boss fights. Feel free to check more often, if that's something you're really interesting in getting the most out of.

    • @SonicMegaKing
      @SonicMegaKing 21 день назад +1

      Having watched half, I see you not only check codecs, but engage with the tutorials and VR missions. My God, where have you been all my life? Keep it up. I think codecs usually update after every cutscene, even those ones where it's just Raiden walking around and talking on communicator. Not that every one gets a new one when that happens though. I think they stack, up to certain boss types and encounters, then refresh with new sets.
      Though you don't understand some aspects of gameplay, you're pretty adept at picking it up over time. The biggest thing is just knowing when to engage blade mode. Y'know those times when the screen flashed blue, during those special stealth kills? Whenever the screen has a blue flash, that means you should use blade mode(press and hold L1) to start cutting your enemies until you Zandatsu, or aim for a glowing left hand. Haven't finished the video, maybe you realized it, but I just thought to mention it now.
      Very great start. Looking forward to more.

    So glad you are playing this classic! I imagine you've already finished but for posterity, whenever the screen flashes blue like when doing stealth kills or performing the last hit on an enemy, you can enter freeblade mode to cut them open for health.
    Also when bigger enemies have their limbs turn blue it means you can use freeblade to cut them off. There a bunch of cool anims of enemies using bodies with less limbs to attack you!

    Thanks for translating Mistral's last words. I got the general idea of it from context, but still nice to know for sure. I think she was talking to either her family or, more likely to me, all those she killed who died for a cause.
    BTW, she called herself Mistral: the cold wind of France, but I only just now realized the irony/poetry of her dying from being frozen (which, BTW, to freeze an object her size all the way through in that amount of time would have required that liquid to be a temperature several times colder than absolute zero, which is physically impossible. I'm a bit of a science nerd)

    An advice (that helped me as well the first time): you can parry everything.. really EVERYTHING in this game, regardless how big your enemy is..
    ...except for some enemy attacks that glow yellow, these attacks can only be dodged with the dodge ability (you can press help in the pause menu to see how to use all your moves including your unlocked moves)
    Also try to practice how to cut in blade mode precisely with the right analog Stick, it will come in handy later

    Don't apologise for listening to all the Codec calls, Whimsy. They're great for world-building for those who haven't played the game or for those who haven't bothered listening in their own playthrough. Personally, I love it.

    I love this game. It's excellent, I remember playing it when it came out and people hating it because it's not really a metal gear game, but I loved it. Its only recently that people started paying attention to it. They're realizing the story is actually good too not just the combat (of course not as good as MGS but still has good themes). This is one of the games where I found out that the general public's opinion can be very wrong lol.

    some things that might help with blade mode, think of it as a finisher only.
    it's not very useful unless the FC meter is blue, where it will do extra damage and slow down time.
    so it's all about gaining fuel until the meter is blue, and then it will slow down time and allow you to cut enemies apart, but some enemies you will have to damage normally until they glow blue before you can cut them.
    You can also often activate blade mode as a finisher when the screen goes into slow motion during normal combos, or when doing stealth attack, or if the big Kanji appears.

    I love that they implemented a proper Codec system in this despite it being a fast paced action game. In the MGS games, Codec goes downhill after 3, unfortunately. I especially love Doktor's segments, they really go into nerdy tech detail about how cyborgs work, transhumanism etc.

    Whimsy sword training from the rat grip with bottom 2 fingers pinky and one above tight, rest for balance with both hands. Right foot one half in front of left aim blade between oppenets eyes. When strike take a half step forwards then one full one back. Let blade do the work don't swing like a baseball bat. Try with TV remote full body workout.

    You can parry geckos when they charge at you in fact it activates a qte to deal some damage and also with normal enemies if you do a slide attack you can slowdown time and do a quick zendatsu just make sure you do them often even with ninjakills as you get free BP as a reward. Also you get a score bonus for completing a battle encounter without taking damage.

    The secret to parry almost every attack is to NOT continually pressing in the direction of the enemies when attacking.
    Instead repeat this sequence very quickly during combat:
    1 - Push the move stick in the direction of an enemy and release it.
    2 - Press the attack button.
    What this will do is, if that enemy attcks you it will parry his attack, otherwise it will just attack the enemy normally.
    This game is fun when you get the hang od the combat system, but I don't think the story is canon to the MGS series.

    The advantage of the "Free Blade Mode" is that you get to aim the cutting-angle for more precision by moving the stick around, you do NOT have to use the stick to perform the cut once you find the angle you want though, i.e. you can line it up then press X or Y to make the cut, and getting used to these mechanics is important. I remember when the game came out people thought you had to flick the stick to cut and they *hated* that.

  • @Houldey
    @Houldey 22 дня назад +1

    I bought the soundtrack to this on cd like a decade+ ago, it's still in regular rotation in my car rofl - if that tells you anything about the whole ost :P Looking forward to watching this, I suspect the absolute ridiculous levels it goes to will bemuse you, given what already seemed like insanity in points during the prior MGS games lol.
    *edit* Yeah - Bladewolf is basically the 'Learn to parry, or else' boss fight lol. Good job getting the hang of it quickly, any experience with the likes of bayonetta / dmc etc basically puts you in the right mindset. Also, not sure if you've seen it yet - but regarding chopping the hands, you do indeed need to do it manually - the hands will be marked, you'll spot them :).
    Well - i guess you will spot them more when you're not still getting the hang of mechanics, you hopefully saw the one blinking you got. They're just collectibles anyway - for score, as you saw - if you miss them, the game presents an alternative objective - ie making you use blade mode to cut the gate locks. Finally, if i remember correctly - those three different colour armors were pre-order bonuses originally, from whatever store you bought the game from. In the later PC release, they just included everything. Also the fox-blade is crazy OP, I wouldn't recommend it for your first time playthrough, but it can be fun for a bit - it just cuts everything, all the time lol.

    00:10 Well, actually you're early. You said you wanted to take a break and play the Arkham series. You're playing now before even starting Origins!
    Love Raiden's movement, and the parry feels so good! Platinum just got it down.
    27:00 Setting the tone right away, with the music and everything.
    44:05 He's also German. Must be a villain!
    47:45 If you are on steam there should be a button to make a screenshot as well. You could map it to the same button as the share button on your PS5 controller or well, just use the keyboard real fast if you don't have enough buttons.
    I really liked the codec calls in this game!
    01:09:20 I don't think I could ever afford one of those. Used all my points for other stuff.
    01:10:50 Everyone was so amazed by the physics when they showed off the Blade Mode in trailers.
    01:20:10 I only did a few of those VR missions.
    01:57:30 But if you call that "playing god", is prosthetics also already considered "playing god"? Transplanting organs? Even just drugs that numb feelings? Where should the line be drawn?
    I remember that fight against the doggy being super tough. It's such a difficulty spike against everything else so far.
    02:16:00 I also had trouble with this helicopter.
    01:23:10 Pretty sure you need to do a Zandatsu on the targeted dude to get the ID from him. I couldn't do it either and had to slice the door. 😂
    I seldomly managed to cut of the arm. Maybe that's why I couldn't afford more stuff.
    You got the good boy in your team now!
    Super fun episode! Glad you like it so far! Have a wonderful day, Whimsy!

    So, the canon is kind of unimportant. It happens past the Kojima games so it doesn't interfere with anything. HOWEVER there are multiple MGS team members who helped write and make the game. It was also written by Etsu Tamari, who helped write Peace Walker and MGSV. So ultimately, whether or not it's "canon" doesn't matter much. If you think it's canon, it is.

    Hi Whimsy, welcome back to the Metal Gear Universe!! 🤗 To answer your question at 1:44:35 about (David) Solid Snake, he's been dead for four years. 😵😱 Throughout MGS4 he's slowly dying, due to his accelerated aging. But he lived out his remaining days, with no war & no more suffering. Just living with both Otacon & Sunny, to see it through & stuck with him until the very end. 🙏
