Raiden is not most people though. He's the rain transformed. As the one controlling him, you should think like the rain transformed.

You just have to run around chopping the arms off everyone with a bazooka. Then you go back to fighting whoever it was before you got interrupted.

They are not. You can also parry rockets mounted on UGs such as Gekkos. If anything, RPGs carried by cyborgs are an exception, since they can't be parried.

As silly as it is, you can also parry bullets.
Doing so is the easiest way of getting a no damage clear on Revengeance on one of the DLC chapters.

Parrying bullets is also a totally valid way of landing ripostes on enemies that dodge/deflect them otherwise, like Gekkos :v:

Man I'm horrible with parrying in this game, I was bad with it when I first got it when it came out and only marginally better now. I'm fine with the grunts and elite grunts but the later enemies I have no idea. I'm just waiting for Chip to get further into the game to see what I'm doing wrong right now.

Parries are really really easy to do because even if you have no idea you can just press towards them and light attack in reaction to everything. Counter parries are the real bitch and I can't reliably do them on anything besides bosses and other big things where they're (usually) useless. It's still enough to get me through Very Hard so far with mostly A and a few S ranks.

I started the game on Revengeance mode and accidentally counter parried a bullet at the beginning of Ray's second stage, which did so much damage it immediately triggered the end of the battle. It took me a moment to understand why Boris was telling me to finish it off because only like 15 seconds had passed...what I'm trying to say is parrying bullets is useful. Also this game is fantastic and really good at making you feel like a badass.

Well, uh, I'm glad I got to share in this special moment of avatar history, I guess.

So I went through some of the Peace Walker LP videos again for background noise and it's kind of funny how stark a difference this and that LP are in feel. Peace Walker was ridiculous but it was way more laid back in comparison. It's interesting to go from a silliness that eases you into a chair and paces itself in its presentation to a silliness that just grabs you and never stops shaking and screaming within technically the same universe.

I'll accept the new av, because it is pretty striking, but I'll miss the cavalry guy. Mostly because it was there for so long that's just how I picture Chip, and now I'll be disappointed if he doesn't look like that.

Personally I appreciate Revengeance's more in your face style. I feel like if an underage anime girl in a bikini would appear (personally I haven't seen any on my play through, but I wasn't looking for any) in this game I would have accepted it more readily, because it just straight up tells you everything is crazy, hell it's called "Revengeance". While on the other hand I felt kind of betrayed by peace walker, it felt like the developers snuck (unintentional pun) in a bunch of weird poo poo after the third act, especially after starting with a more serious tone in at least the first hand full of missions.

Excuse me, to stay true the the source material the film should be shot at 1 frame per 10 seconds.
