Gravity Rush |OT| Cest la Vita
- Thread starter Takao
- Start date
i preordered the game on amazon, based on the promise of getting bonus content. is the content already included? i opened the box and only found the game cart inside, no extra sheet with a code or anything. i just dove straight into the game and story mode and didn't really go looking for it. and each time i fire it up i just continue on.
it's an interesting game, but i'm not crazy about it. it's a b-game, and i'm totally fine with that. biggest thing i want is to be able to wrap around things. kinda like in mario galaxy, where walking over the edge changes the new gravity to the surface on the other side.

You should get an e-mail with the code.
Gravity works differently in this game and it really makes sense you can't walk around edges. But I had problems adjusting, too. After playing so much of Mario Galaxy, I was used to walking around everything.

For the races, master the slide or the gravity kick and use those to travel long distances.
For the combat challenges... make sure your gravity kick is at max level and pray. lol
Bought the DLC. Gonna check it out later.
But more side stuff involving that. Most of the trials are all about racing and combat and a lot of the later story missions again all boil down to combat. There could have been more interesting ways to do stuff with the city. I mean, Kat seems to be the city caretaker anyways so why not have more stuff with that?

You actually have the option of dropping the dude at the end of the DLC into the abyss

Damn you. I feel like this race is going to drive me insane.
The lack of a restart/long loading times makes a 3:30 minute race unbearable if you screw up in the middle.
Entered. I guess you'll have a lot of followers now. lol

With regards to restarting challenge missions, here's a tip: Just get yourself killed if you fail. Get a Game Over and choose continue.
Beats canceling the mission and restarting it with more load times

Yeah, falling into the lava seems to be the easiest way to restart.
Also, I have no idea how to do this Health race. Of course all the trophies are set up so that you want to do them all. lol
Holy crap, and as I say that, I got the gold. Damn, that's a rough race. Tip: use the gravity kick to get to as many way points as possible, master the slide race at the end. In fact, if you know you are going to fail, you should just turn around and practice it a few times.
Also, 4 bucks is really pricey for the DLC which is maybe half an hour to an hour of content for most players. The costume would be nice if you could replay story missions or had some other incentive to go around the world.
And strangely enough, I still haven't levelled up my reputation to be able to buy more skills. I have no idea what they're saving it for.

I think it's only worth it if you love the racing and want a cute side story akin to the comics that Takao has been posting.
By the time I get it all, it's basically the same as getting a full XBLA/PSN game and you'll probably get more 'value' out of that if you want to make it a zero sum game.
I bought the Spy Pack because I wanted to support the game and will take literally any reason to keep playing.
It's cute, but really not worth 4 dollars. A NG+ where you keep unlocked costumes would be great, but as it stands having access at the end of the game is pointless. It would be really nice of them to allow you to use the costumes in Gravity Rush 2, or something.
Also this health race is RAGE inducing.

It does. After completing the first mission I was able to max out the Gauge Usage to 12/12 anyway.

Do you have the military DLC as well? I went up a reputation level but still haven't been able to level up anything.
Good luck man. lol

As far as I know, all DLC increases the maximum obtainable reputation by 2.
Huh? I was able to level Gravity Kick to maximum after finishing the military DLC. It only cost 2,500 gems!
I wish I had looked at Kat's title every time her reputation went up. Would be nice to have a complete list.

I only have the Spy DLC, since that's all that's available for sale at the moment. The max levels are still locked, and given that I have all the trophies available so far, there's nothing left for me to do.

Only have five more things left to max out. I don't know if the Maid Pack will help

I guess that means different DLC increases the max levels for different things. Unless you mean you can't afford the max levels?
After having finished the sidestories from both the spy and military DLC packs, I'm at reputation "Hekseville Guardian". I have not attempted the vast majority of challenges in the game. Here are the available levels:
Core Powers
Health: 11
Recovery Time: 11
Shifting Speed: 12 (MAX)
Guage Usage: 12 (MAX)
Combat Powers
Kick: 6 (MAX)
Gravity Kick: 6 (MAX)
Evade: 6 (MAX)
Sliding Kick: 6 (MAX)
Gravity Powers
Statis Field: 6 (MAX)
Gravity Slide: 6 (MAX)
Special Attacks
Spiraling Claw: 5
Gravity Typhoon: 5
Micro Black Hole: 5
Expecting the Maid pack to uncap the remaining five skills.

Seriously, what anime has music at all comparable to the style used in this game? I'm genuinely curious. Perhaps the music is "Japanese" in the sense that it resembles the music in Dragon Quest VIII? That's the closest comparison I can think of.
Nice.
Might consider getting them just to silence that little completionist inside my head.

On my game, the Core and Special powers are still locked at one below the max level.

If that's really the example, the similarity would be more a function of Gunbuster and Gravity Rush's music both being composed by the same person. It'd be just as silly to say all anime music sounds like Babylon 5 because B5's composer did the music for one of the Tenchi Muyo movies.
Exactly.

holy crap at health race challenge. although once you got used to it, it give pretty high margin of error to get gold, but I can't even finish the race a couple first time.

Tiny plot question, definite spoiler.
But yeah, absolutely loved the game, Japanese development not dead etc. Needs some more variety in combat and side quests for me and it would've been perfect, there's definite room for improvement. I loved the rift areas with it's mini challenges you could go back to later, I think Inferno was my favorite - great visuals, music etc.
Couple of favourite moments:
Time speeds up the further you go up the pillar, and when Raven left the rest of the kids and went up, she aged right? So why when Kat returns to Hekesville after saving the kids has Cynaea not aged? Matter of fact, following Raven's example wouldn't all the kids be older?
Also, I don't have a clue what all the Dream stuff was about. Anyone care to give me a nice lil summary? I swear by the time we get to the third game this series will be the new Kingdom Hearts.

Free fallng down the centre of the pillar was freaking immense. Also loved the boss battle with Sea Wasp; just a huge anime clash, almost like an open-world Dissidia battle.

They don't age just because they traveled up the tower. Raven aged because she spent years in Hekseville trying to find a way to rescue the other kids. She also knew about the time dilation aspect somehow and thus never returned to visit the kids until Kat descended (as she perceived Kat to be a threat), as so much time in Hekseville would pass in her absence that her deals would probably fall through.
I think that analysis post on GameFAQs posted a few pages back is a good read on this stuff, though of course the games keep things ambiguous enough that any other theory is just as valid.
