First off, welcome to METAL GEAR RISING: Revengeance. MGR: Revengeance is an action hack/slash game developed by Platinum Games (Vanquish, Anarchy Reigns, Bayonetta) and produced by Kojima Productions (Metal Gear, Zone of the Enders). If you enjoy this game, you're highly recommended to check out the games mentioned.
The story is set four years after the Patriots incidence (Metal Gear Solid 4), where you take control as Raiden, a cybernetic ninja who is working for a company, Maverick, that is set to provide protection for the African Prime Minister. During his job, he encounters a private military corporation, Desperado, that is bent on global terrorism. You're then sent out to hack and slash your way to justice as you prevent Desperado from unleashing conflict and chaos upon the world.
Single playthrough method:
Right off the bat you can unlock Hard and Revengeance difficulty modes by using the very famous Konami Code (). So, what would this playthrough entail, exactly? Earning an S-Rank on every mission, defeating the primary bosses (Mistral, Monsoon, Sundowner, Samuel and Armstrong) without taking any damage, picking up all of the collectibles, and completing all the level specific achievements.
This is method is more advisable. I would recommend starting on the normal difficulty and learning the mechanics of the game while collecting all the collectibles and earning the all the miscellaneous and level specific achievements. Upon completion of your first playthrough, you should grind out whatever enemy specific achievements and clean up whatever else you may have missed. After that, I would then start a second playthrough (NOT USING THE NEW GAME SELECTION) on Revengeance difficulty earning all the difficulty achievements. If you select the new game option, it erases and voids all previous progress. To start a new playthrough on your current game file, go to mission select and select the mission and change the difficulty.
Missable achievements:
- There's some speculation amongst the community that the "Tearing Away the Disguise" is glitched. Missing the achievement would require a more or less a full playthrough (R02 - R07).
- The "Amateur Radio Operator" achievement can be missed. It's advised that you follow the guide for that listed in the achievement below. If you happen to miss a conversation and you're unsure of which one you missed, it may result in another playthrough.
- It's probably worth mentioning that if you die and resume your game while trying to go for S-ranks, it voids your chance of getting an S-rank for that mission. Current workaround for this is that you need to create a copy of your save on a thumb drive or seperate hard drive and if you happen to die or restart, dashboard and copy your file from your back-up to your main. Once you've done that, start over again.
