don't lie, you did it as well. This mode feels like it's powerful but as in a classical hack-n-slash game, the true power lies in the combos, so you just have to spam mouse buttons to perform as much different attacks as possible to do the most damage. For most players it's pretty obvious after they try it a few times, but he's a bit slow due to age and the fact that he never played such games before, and of course because the game allows you to do that for a pretty long time, so it'll take him more time to learn I guess...

[@trashmix2184]

Hey, i beat the game on revengance mode, and here are some tips 1: ONLY go into blade mode after parrying or after the screen turns blue 2: parrying is the absolute most important thing in the entire game, always try to parry for a free kill 3: Try to incorporate heavy attacks into your moveset, there are combos in this game and they're really good. 4: At the end of each mission you go into a sort of buy menu, where you can upgrade your sword, health, and blade mode timer 5: The ninja run is primarily used to block bullets by running toward said shooter. The game will automatically block the bullets. 6: Just have fun with the game, explore if you want. There are secrets.

[@ElemXCR]

Those are game mechanics for sure. But can be easily incorporated if the player knows how to play action games like this. I don't know what asmon is thinking of when he starts on hard and just mashes buttons lol Then he complains about tiring out. Like cmon man. We all like you to enjoy the game, there's no reason to play on hard if you're gonna struggle so stupidly. If anything we'd like him to react to the story and the content rather than direct gameplay alone. I don't know if he realized this, unless its a competitive game like a battle royale or vampire survivors or some shit.

This game is quite easy once you get the way. There are 2 things try and improve. 1. Parry: the parring never stops. You must push the directional towards your enemy and press light atack. Look for the red flash. When you see it, do the parry. The window is quite generous. Also, there is an ingame training tutorial for that. 2. Blade mode: don't spam it. Use it when you knock the enemy. The game will show this moment with some hints: screen freezes, slow down, sometimes get blue, and may even get a Kanji written on screen. When this happens, get calm and aim on the red spots and slice. I guess there is also a tutorial on that.

Hell, compare it to something like God of War III, which came out 3 years earlier, yet looks miles better on a technical level, while also being more stylized.

​@@1InVader1So, no fighting games ever from him? 😢

[@1InVader1]

@@alessandrobaggi6129 eh. SF6 is way more accessible than DMC5. He probably played some FGs in arcades in the 90s. The bad part of DMC5 is that you need to reach Dante Must Die mode and a certain skill level in order to really unlock the most fun in that game. That game's difficulty system and curve is really bad, the lower difficulties don't demand enough skill for you to fully utilize the combat system, so it just ends up being a lukewarm experience.

[@kero2422]

The best parts of these videos are always when Asmon learns to play defensively and uses blocks, parry or dodge

[@rhyswong8976]

Good old times when video games are FUN.

[@captain_sly-d5186]

This game was so underrated. I remeber joirnalist saying it is a dumb game where you cut everything but it is the point of this game. They even created a feature specially to slash everything.

[@foundcrab4742]

This is like Connor's stream where he didn't learn the game and kept playing really bad without using the games mechanics. Seems to be the same case here, MGRR is like one of the more simpler hack n slash games. Imagine if Asmon played DMC5, sheesh he would not get very far let me tell you that. In MGRR, you HAVE to parry, it's your defense for the most part except for unparryable attacks. If he doesn't learn, he will get his ass beat. I think baldy just can't comprehend fast-paced games, his brain is too old for quick stuff as he said

[@shauryasuri3653]

Even in this game, idk how you beat armstrong without learning how to parry

[@00110000]

@shauryasuri3653 Monsoon is like the first boss where you HAVE to parry, he beats your shit if you didn't play with parrying beforehand

[@SyamDaRos-EndoManno]

​@@foundcrab4742So true, I can still remember my first playthrough. I've avoided most hits by running and sliding, until HIM. Then I've learned how to do multiple parries

First game where u can’t blindly get through mashing one button, and he struggles with 2nd boss, god he’s bad af

[@AbraCaStabra]

I'm quite a bit older than Zack. I've never understood how a gaming streamer could possibly be so bad at games. I've never seen him start a game and look like someone that's spent thousands of hours playing video games. Misses basic tutorial information that is described through dialogue and on-screen text. It's painful to watch.

Playing this game without Parrying is like playing souls game without rolling. its literally the core of the gameplay

[@x-raishun]

Respect for acknowledging a personal skill issue at the end instead of blaming the game itself

[@mathers000]

from what I can tell he took an hour off stream to just learn the game and switched to mouse and keyboard for followup

[@Spillow-C]

to be fair the game is extremely junk to play, both the character movement and the combat, especially the automatic/manual lock on and camera, it may look cool by looking a gameplay but playing it is another experience for the worst. thats probably the only time when its not (compeltely) his fault, blaming the game would have made just a bit of sense.

Yes, he realized he has to quit a relatively non-complicated game before he understands the combat.

21:40 the excitement I get from this QTE never gets old. Holy I love MGRR

[@postalpancho]

This game, like all the metal gear franchise, has so much detail and depth that people completely miss. One of my favorite examples is the music played in the game. All the Boss battles have distinct music and lyrics describing the boss. They first boss fight against the dog opponent is about him fight against his will and fate and not wanting to be a slave. Later boss music are about fighting for the way of war, or feeling that fighting is the only thing they know in life, some feel that there is no changing the status quo so they might as well be on top, while other fight because they think it is only natural for humans. Many of the “villain” didn’t necessarily want to be apart of this but see it as the way things need to be.

[@Sparda11222]

You will fucking adore this game. It is everything you ever wanted in WoW or any other game. Pure madness, testosterone and fun. One of the best games ever made. The music, the gameplay, the over the top characters. Art. Memes. Ohhh the memes, Asmon, it's all about the memes.

Learned fairly quickly on how to deal with him I remember on my first playthrough I completely forgot how to do parries so instead i was doing the move that dodges and deals a bit of damage. The skill check that got me to learn parries was Monsoon though. Man, I have to replay this game again, it's so fun

Thank you asmon for both trying this game and giving us the content. Thanks editors too for pumping videos too.

[@denkerbosu3551]

Two things: To parry, move the directionalstick TOWARDS said attack, and then press the light attack button. The better timing (the closer the attack is to connect when youu parry it) the more you can tun them and then CUT THEM with Free blade. Speaking of which; Second: you should use the Free Blacde mode to end opponents more quick. The rule of thumb: if you see a blue flash across the screen, you can AND SHOULD use free blade mdode while using the Left Button (keep it pressed) and then use the CAMERA STICK to cut them precisely.

[@seanferguson9267]

He’s so bad at learning new games it makes me angry yet hopeful. I’m like “dude we’ve been over this 100 times parry” but also get super excited when he pulls it off

Redoing the tutorial really helped. There also a few tutorial mission that were not forced in the beginning but are important basic. One mission they didn't included was auto lock, which could help a lot a lot lmao. You don't have to do all of them

watching asmon just mash X and do zero combos at all is just so fuckin painful to watch lol.

Keep at it! Drop the difficulty or wwhatever it takes, the story is worth experiencing, and you'll absolutely love it

He just needs to learn how to spam parry and the games becomes incredibly easy, the only real challenge is bosses on Revengeance mode.
