I was playing on Survivor and swear that must have taken a good 20 minutes, lol.
That boss battle almost broke my hands, but goddamn it was worth it. Lol.
I finally beat the game. The final chapter was certainly pretty... interesting. I was pretty surprised at how your affinity with your squad mates actually played out in the final battle as well. I'm really starting to wonder what possible variations there are in the various cutscenes throughout the game. At least a few of them seemed like they might play out differently depending on how high your Trust level is with certain people.
Chapter 6 spoilers:
So is it possible for Cain to reappear at all at the end? My Trust with him was pretty damn low, so I wasn't surprised that he never showed up again. In my game, Big Bo betrayed me and got into one of the mechs himself, while Rachael took a hit for Faye from the final boss and died. But I just saw a playthrough on Youtube where Big Bo stayed with the team, and he was the one who took the hit for Faye instead. I wonder if it's possible to get an outcome where Big Bo lives...
Yeah, Cain can come back. The 'best' outcome is Cain takes the hit for Faye and doesn't die, and your trust with Bo is high enough for him not to betray you.
Wow. That's pretty awesome. That should make future replays pretty worthwhile, especially trying out different squad members and trying to build a high level of trust with everyone.
Big Bo not dying means you need Cain to have high enough trust to return, and Bo needs high trust to not betray you. Rachel/charlie don't seem to matter. "High" trust, though, I'm not sure if it needs max or just the fourth bar, I had it maxed.
I noticed at that scene the autosave icon appeared on the side, I'm assuming he'd shoot her otherwise.
Actually I REALLY want to know that know.
If that's true I wonder if the commander tries to attack/kill another member. If that does happen then the 'worst' ending would be shindo dies, cain dies, faye dies, bo betrays and dies, the commander attacks and kills someone(maybe), so it's be dan and rachel or charlie? damn.

Still on Ch.3
OMFG
I'm in love with this! (^____^)
I find myself drawn into every cutscene and I never want the combat to end.
<3<3<3
Definitely my favorite of the year thus far. Almost tempted to make another thread just to more views.
It's depressing this one is not even 20 pages yet =(

Yeah I'm not sure why the interface for the MP modes are kinda bad and lacking options. A bot mode or a split-screen co-op option for Invasion would definitely be nice. I played like 16 rounds of Invasion in a Quick Match earlier, and I had to bail out during a round. It seems it didn't save any of the Challenges I unlocked? Not sure what's going on.

I recommend Hard, or Survivor whatever its called. As you unlock a real Hard Mode after completing that. Its not unfair, robots are just more deadly. Its awesome as they are supposed to be terminators.
never got it to work properly, disabled the whole option.
Survivor is definitely the way to go imo. It never feels too hard, and the challenge feels about right as long as you're familiar with shooters and aren't awful at them. Players who really suck at shooters might want to consider playing on easier settings and turning aim assist on.
oh wow. my ending was different.
Big Bo didn't betray me and he died saving Faye. Wow Big Bo can betray you? that is soo cool.
Is there a way to keep Shindo alive?
I would pay at least 200-300 if Sega made a replica of the Rust crew's watch.
It's not short. I would say it's about as long as most of the top shooters in the market. There are a bunch of varied levels and it'll take about 8-10 hours the first time through the game. Definitely not shorter than Gears of War or Uncharted.

What an amazing experience. Take Blade Runner and mix it with the Yakuza games and you get Binary Domain.
And while there are some problems I have with the game, I quite enjoyed playing it immensely. The dialog system is about as shallow as a BioWare game, but because I don't hate the characters are find the story insipid, I was totally invested in the outcome. Unfortunately I couldn't get the
, so I'll probably have to play it again at some point to see if I can get it.
I want to say that Of The End/Dead Souls will play like this... but I know it won't be. Still, two Yakuza-esque experiences in a month? I'm not going to complain.
I'm curious though - in Japan, does everyone have Japanese voices? I'd like to have played it that way, but unfortunately it doesn't look like there are dialog track options (that I can see).

They had the right idea, but the execution was so poor. Surely they knew it was broken/poorly implemented before shipping it? It would have definitely increased the immersion factor if it worked well.
In a generation where 5 - 6 hour shooter campaigns have become the norm, Binary Domain's 8 - 10 hour length is praiseworthy.

Set your PS3/360 system language to Japanese, and the entire game should be in Japanese. It worked for RoF and should work by BD too. But it also means all the text is in Japanese. I haven't test this with BD yet though.

as I mentioned previously, I got this scenario with having max trust for everyone except for Charlie and Rachel who were a couple of points shy from that. Though I'm sure it didn't matter with Shindo and Kurosawa. I also saved Bo from the Cerberus, though I'm not sure if that was needed to get the best outcome but it did help maxing out my trust with Bo.
yea, this was my first ending, I was surprised.
Though whole Bo not betraying is an achievement/trophy so that explains the possibilities. I wonder why there isn't a reward/achievement for getting the best scenario though.
I really wish they would have included a cut scene viewer.
I have a question for who have completed this on Survivor:
how much more difficult are the Shinobi enemies?

Subete no aware
Survivor is easy. Those enemies go down with the shock wave attack pretty quickly.
Doesn't seem to work - I set both language and local to Japanese. If anyone has any ideas?
It definitely works on the PS3. I hope it doesn't mean Sega got cheap with the 360 one...

The best way I sum it up is, for every section thats a little clunky theres one action scene
Around the corner that puts a large grin on my face.
Anyone knows where I can download the hi res Japanese box art for the
360??
Oh and the 360 version runs perfectly smooth except for a few boss fights.

I never bothered clicking on this till looking at the Yakuza of the Dead thread. My only question is there a chance the story will turn out to be borderline parody (like an unintentional Bulletstorm or perhaps a Metal Wolf Chaos), because after looking at the IGN review, that seems possible...and I am totally fine with that. It would actually encourage me to get the game more. I love good story telling, but I also love a insane/crazy story kind of like The Third Birthday (which tries to be realistic in settings, groups, timeline, but is so batshit crazy at the same time).

Just finished it. I agree with the person who said it's there SotD for 2012 because it certainly feels like it.
Loved all of it. I guess it helps i've been thirsty for GeoW game for the past 3 years but I think BD can stand proud with the best of the genre. The whole trust with team mates and it influencing the game significantly is something i'd like to see more in squad shooters.
Regarding the ending
So i'll play some multiplayer later tonight and i'll return it tommorow. I'll definately buy this sometime in the future, just like SotD. Great game. Team Yakuza are magic. And now we have Dead Souls, soon. 'Appy days.
EDIT: Fucked up. Sorry guys =(

Cain and Shindo didn't return for me. Bo took the hit for Faye and died =(. With the scene after the credits, I was thinking this would be a perfect set up for BD2. You play as Faye and have the whole world coming after you. But i'm glad Dan and her ended together.

If you like Yakuza and you like Gears of War and you like Japanese action games with giant multi-part bosses, you won't be disappointed.

Could have been a space issue on the 360.
I can also confirm that it definitely works on the PS3. I bought the US version expecting to play it with a mix of English and Japanese voices, but after the install, everything was in Japanese.

This game also has to have the most satisfying enemy to kill. With most games I usually get bored at some point but the robots in this were fun to kill from start to finish.

Much obliged--let's hope it stays that low because I want to wait a bit longer until I buy it.

Yes! That's the name of that fucker!(fucker being used in the most endearing way possible)
No problem, I think it's been at that price for a few days at least, so I don't really know if it'll stay at $45 much longer.

Just got to chapter six...
Hello there, Battlestar Galactica plot twist.
I had figured Faye was a Hollow Child for a while now, but didn't think that she was a human child of one.
Also, Cain rocks. Crazy French Canadian-accented robot. I hope I get him back or at least save him.

Story spoilers:
I actually thought Dan was a Hollow Child, especially when there were flashbacks of him smashing that robot with a baseball bat or something as a kid. So Faye turning out to be a Hollow Child was actually shocking to me. I guess her rigid facial expressions were a give away, but I never really thought about that lol.
