Gekko as in “gekkou” meaning moonlight in Japanese, it seems like Gekko is a blanket term for the mechs, since the Gekkos you’re thinking of are called Irvings. Note also that gecko the lizard is spelled with a “c”.</div>

You forgot Raiden has superhuman strength.   He could ripped anything apart.  I could roll with Raiden using the ability to electrify his fists and with his strength and speed, cut through whatever.<br>

<font face=“Arial, Verdana” size=“2”><span style=“line-height: normal;”>He can’t reach though lol. That’s the problem.

As awesome as it is I ran into a nightarme fighting the first big robot tank in chapter 2 in very hard. I made short work of it’s partner with the fox blade but the “boss” proved to be a pain. Thank god for the Sai. Kept his ass in check.

<font face=“Arial, Verdana” size=“2”><span style=“line-height: normal;”>Never played an MGS game before huh? These game will always allow you to stop to call your homies on the codec. In this game is not as necessary but in most other MGS titles calling during boss battles is how you can get tips on beating the boss. Truly, in the world of MGS you really do have a support team. They aren’t just there for cinematics and mission briefings.</span></font>

I’m in tears laughing at his reactions<br>

Stun Blade and Armor Breaker are the best looking swords in this game.

You sir are a beast congrats, HOPEFULLY I plat it by the end of the week. Right now I’m doing the Revengeance run and it seems the entire thing boils down to parrying. There are both positives and negatives about it but the game is still fun though. <br><br><br><br>

MGR has spoiled me. From now on if any game wants to achieve lightning bolt action status, there needs to be dynamic changing music with vocals. Not accepting any bullshit less than that.<br><br>Keep it up Platinum.<br><br><img src=“http://i.imgur.com/S7p7j6z.gif”><br><br>

Having intense theme songs playing during boss fights is so goddamn super robot.

Armstrong boss fight get better every time I play it.<br>

Looks like someone should play DmC instead.

<br>“Rising also has a very intricate parry system that’s probably easy for
action game fans to catch onto. Due to my inexperience with the genre, <b>I
just couldn’t get the hang of it and played through the game on easy
with parry assist enabled.</b>”<br><br><b>Make no mistake though, even on the easiest difficulty, Metal Gear
Rising: Revengeance is a very hard video game,</b> a rarity when it comes to
titles these days. Playing with parry assist enabled certainly makes
Rising’s difficulty level more bearable, but it’s still one of the most
difficult titles I’ve played in the last few months.<br><br>:)) :)) =)) :(( :)) :))<br><br>Fucking clown.<br>

One thing I hate about parrying is that if you do it too early you can get caught in an attack animation easily. I think I’d rather have a dedicated parry button in a sequel. Shit B/Circle isn’t doing anything when I’m not sneaking up on people or opening doors. Might as well be it.
