Only being able to play this for 2-3 hours every night after work makes me sad .

My initial impressions of the game were kinda mixed but by now I am enjoying this game a lot.

Also I might be the slowest player around the block. My save says I am at 20h game time and my next story mission is mission 8! To be fair though, I have beaten every sidequest and got gold on every challenge so far. I am also pretty positive I have bout 99% of all existing gems in the first city. Yep, I check every single building extensively!

I'm where you are at 15 hours so glad to know I'm not totally alone.

I'm at episode 20 right now and I'm surprised at some posts saying that they're disappointed with the lack of rift planes. Pretty sure I've went through four so far: they're the levels with the stone tablets and the freaky giant hands (which are flowers in the first game).

 

[civilstrife]

Played through the demo last night. Never played Gravity Rush 1.

This shit is JOYFUL.

Is the whole game as good as the demo?

Haha, it's even better.

If you decide to buy it, here's a recap of the first game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ2kyZSD7CE

I was thinking the same thing, and the most recent one looked awesome.

It has much better performance and it is better than the demo.

Thank you! I'm like, is this not essentially the same thing? Had no idea what people were talking about.

[Relaxed Muscle]

Seriously, people who haven't finished the game, don't click on this.

Spoiler

Did you play the first game? I'm not done with the game yet but I clicked on the spoilers anyway because I'm nearing the end. But there's quite a bit in the first game that point who Alias is.

Spoiler

I think quite some people guessed it, but still it plays out quite surprsingly. Syd being Alias is just one part if it

 

[ClearData]

I've just wrapped episode 4 and I can track down a large Nevi according to the game, but that'd be out of my league at this point, right? Should I come back later for it or do they not let me come back?

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Oh my god the music in the Director's Choice Soundtrack....

Those drums, that sax, the piano... it's such a treat to the ears!

 

[Mifune]

Thank you! I'm like, is this not essentially the same thing? Had no idea what people were talking about.

Are the later ones better than the first one? Because that one went on forever and wasn't all that exciting.

 

[Darkchaser3]

so beat the game and does anyone know how to do mining? is it something random that show up because i cant find misai at all :/

 

[humansarehorses]

They're all kind of long, longer than in the first game. I think the second and fourth ones are pretty good and at least visually interesting. Third one is awful because of the camera.

 

[Baalzebup]

And done with the story! The game has been mostly excellent even up to that point, but after the post chapter 20 action really starts going down, that is some fucking stellar stuff. Just so damn good!

 

[Ferr986]

Lol, those spoilers are so tempting. I'm still only halfway done with the game too, so it'll be awhile before I can join in.

same lol

Btw, Kat REALLY has a problem with birds stealing her food.

 

[maouvin]

Yep, I play for a few hours and I just get sidetracked by treasure hunts lol.

And challenges, don't forget the challenges.

 

[LotusHD]

same lol

Ikr? And what's worse is that she chases after them. I'm like girl, you probably don't want it anymore lol

 

[sora87]

Sooo, how do you get to the 3rd layer of the mining trench?

 

[nbnt]

32 hours in and I just unlocked the Work Clothes costume, lol.

Also, exploring the world in first person is so much fun! Granted, the mode is not practical for everything because you don't see Kat's hands/body, but still I really like it, great great addition.

I've now come to the conclusion that if you want to hunt down gems using the gem detector talisman, you should put on a decent set of headphones.

The beeps the gem detector gives off ARE directional, but it's much easier to track them down their specific direction with headphones on than it is relying on a surround sound set up. All the incoming noise through the different speakers makes it hard to pinpoint, but it's not an issue with headphones.

 

[Big Green Anus]

How many side missons are there in the game? So far, it's around three every main chapter (I'm on mission 7).

It's roughly 50 something.

 

[black070]

The scope of the game honestly leaves my jaw hanging on multiple occasions, this honestly is the Uncharted -> Uncharted 2 equivalent for the series.

 

[Rainy]

Gonna be switching between this and Tales of Berseria the next couple of days. I'm a happy camper.

The bottom of most islands usually hold a lot of 10 and 50 gems especially in Lei Havina.

I'm a bit sad that Bestbuy didn't offer the OST for this in the Pre-Order. It's so freakin' good.

 

[black070]

Speaking of the OST - does anyone know where to find it if you preordered digitally ? I've got the white Kat costume automatically installed but can't find the OST anywhere.

 

[Big Green Anus]

It's roughly 50 something.

Wow, that's way more than I expected. I wish there was less to be honest.

They're totally doable, just abuse stasis field and gravity slide.

 

[Caim]

It's a separate app so it might be towards the bottom of your library.

It's called Soundtrack: Gravity Rush 2 or something like that.

 

[Unknown?]

I just got to the part with Jupiter powers and beat it. I thought I'd like Lunar better hands down but I really like Jupiter. Also switching between all three in a fight makes it so much better than just using only one.

Can you initiate your own online treasure hunt? or can you only take a picture once you've found someone else's.

 

[Baalzebup]

Can you initiate your own online treasure hunt? or can you only take a picture once you've found someone else's.

You can, if you can find one of those treasure chests. I've found a total of 4 outside of the hunts, which still naturally form the vast majority of the ones that I've gotten.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Can you initiate your own online treasure hunt? or can you only take a picture once you've found someone else's.

I found an Apple Chest in the Auldnoir church green without manually starting a treasure hunt but if you're in the right place the online ones might just load in seamlessly?

 

[Kindekuma]

Can you initiate your own online treasure hunt? or can you only take a picture once you've found someone else's.

I found one randomly in Pleajune, so I guess yes? There must be treasure hunts started server side and by players randomly finding it as well.

 

[Pure_Phazon]

Hmm, ok. I don't think I've found any treasure aside from the online stuff. Gonna have to explore more.

 

[cosmicspooks]

finally got to chapter 3, and I absolutely knew

Spoiler

you'd be spending some time in Heksville again (I mean the game spends enough time mentioning it there's no way you wouldn't)

, but I still wasn't prepared for how much more game there is in here.

It hit me when I got the tutorial screen on fusing talismans.

 

[Zaventem]

Desperate to play but my copy is still being shipped all the way from china lmao. I feel like i won't get it until next month ;_;

 

[Milijango]

Does anyone bother with stealth for the Time Limit Grabs? Kat seems impervious to small arms fire and you need those time extensions.

 

[LotusHD]

Nope, I just ignore the enemies and go ham with my stasis field lol

I don't lol, I'm not even sure if there's a penalty or something if you get discovered.

 

[Miggy]

HOLY CRAP EPISODE 19 IS SOME DBZ HYPERBOLIC TIME CHAMBER SHIT.

 

[XaosWolf]

Finally got round to getting this. =D

Quick impressions:
Kat is still great, slow start, Gravity Slide sucks, camera still a menace, Lunar jumping turns the game into Crackdown.

Can't wait to dig further into the story missions as I know stuff is gonna get crazy.
Waiting for the obvious "reveal" that I figured out ages ago:

Spoiler

Syd is Alias

 

[recklesscognition]

Now that I'm finished I thought I'd pick up the remaster and give that a try. $120 on Amazon?!

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Now that I'm finished I thought I'd pick up the remaster and give that a try. $120 on Amazon?!

Yep, Amazon had a limited supply and once they ran out, that was it.

The game has been on sale in PSN sales though. Just keep an eye out.

Did you feel you've kept up with the story despite not playing the first? I am asking because I am on the fence on to which to get.

Totally. Felt totally contained to me.

You want to know if you should get the first or second game? There's a full walkthrough on Youtube, and hell, there's a great 4 min. recap in the OT of this thread.
