Let's talk Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Great game, right? But there's this one thing... locking on.
Locking On: A Necessary Evil?
Some people love the lock-on. They say it's essential. I say, is it, though?
The Default Way
Okay, okay, the standard way. Click that right stick. Cycle through enemies like a cyborg ninja on speed.
Feels good, right? All that focused aggression. But what if there's... more?
My Unpopular Opinion
Here's the thing: I kinda... hate it. Gasp! I know, blasphemy!
It just feels restrictive. Like Raiden's suddenly wearing concrete boots.
He's supposed to be a whirlwind of steel. Not a turret stuck in place.
Dancing With Danger: The Lock-Off Approach
I prefer to dance. Let the camera be my partner. Engage the environment.
No lock-on needed. Just pure, unadulterated chaos. Aim with the directional stick, press that attack button.
It's harder, sure. Requires more finesse. But infinitely more stylish, in my humble opinion.
Camera Control: The Real MVP
The camera is your friend. Learn to love it. Master its quirks.
Constant adjustments, baby. Keep those enemies in sight. Become one with the battlefield.
You'll be dodging missiles and slicing cyborgs like a pro in no time.
The Benefits of Freedom
Without lock-on, Raiden feels truly free. Able to respond to threats from any direction.
Think of it like jazz. Improvisation. No rigid structures holding you back.
Just pure, unadulterated, cyborg ninja... jazz?
Crowd Control, Ninja Style
Facing a horde of Gekkos? No problem. Spin attacks and well-timed jumps become your best friends.
Locking on in that scenario is a death sentence. You are vulnerable in the back, my friend.
Embrace the chaos. Become the eye of the storm.
Give It a Try!
I'm not saying the lock-on is bad. Just... overrated. Give the lock-off approach a shot.
You might surprise yourself. Discover a new way to play. Find even more enjoyment in this already amazing game.
And who knows? You might even agree with me (secretly, of course). Remember the code to get the blade. Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start!
The Truth Revealed
So next time you're playing, consider letting go. Unchain Raiden from his target.
Let him dance. Let him be free. Let him slice and dice without restrictions.
And if you still prefer the lock-on? That's cool too. But you're missing out on some serious fun. Believe it!
