Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Oh my god Monsoon.

QUESTION! I haven't beat the game yet -- just past Sam -- but if I wanted to showcase an earlier chapter to someone tonight, I could do so through Chapter Select without losing any progress in my main game, right? I'd still be able to pick up where I left off later?
Also, just downloaded the soundtrack off Amazon. Godly.

...fucking seriously?
Though now that I think about it, I guess that's why the lock glows blue in Augment View. Christ, now I gotta go back and get them all...
You lose your current checkpoint. But if you just got past
Sam
It was actually one of the first things platinum showed if my memory serves me right.
Yeah. Think so.

I've tried searching for any mention of this releasing digitally on PSN, but can't seem to find anything. Anyone know if there are plans to soon?

Just bought the hard copy of the vocal soundtrack. I felt like I needed to.
Think I might finish this game later tonight. And that'll be my third game for 4 in Feb.

Nice, this should be useful for the double grad fight.
Is this basically like KW-canceling your evasion for infinite dodging in Anarchy Reigns? Looks like it, briefly activating Blade Mode.

This is a kick ass-ass game.
Also, play Hirose Kohmi's "Promise" during the boss fight
It fits so well

Indeed. This game does have a lot of small flaws that come from the result of a super short dev cycle but hot DAMN what a ride it is. Platinum Games ALWAYS delivers an amazing experience despite any flaws their games have.
Amen to that!
I concur!
Better be playing on hard!
Kidding, as long as people get to enjoy this game one way or another, the difficulty doesn't matter.
The song in question -- freaking catchy!
Get out of here, seriously?
I must suck horribly then. I died three times against the metal gear in the prologue -_- and there's no way I can no damage monsoon.
Hahah, it wasn't my first playthrough. It took me a couple hours, man. There are achievements for beating each humanoid boss on Hard or higher with no damage.
parry EVERYTHING

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
lol I only found that out too near the end of the game when I was just screwing around irritated with the fact I couldnt seem to open the boxes

Word. I haven't had a dumb smile on my face for so long since Bayonetta. I'm loving this. When everything comes together it feels SO GOOD.
But dat camera against enemies that tend to hop around....and when there's multiple of them....in a small space *blargh*

I'll tell you one thing.
It's been a fucking while since I played a game where I fought bosses with a smile on my face the entire time. I hope this continues through to the end.
This too. Darn camera.

I wonder if the camera would be fixable in a patch.

I think part of the problem too is how the targeting system works along side camera function.
Really wish that the slide wasnt magnetic too. Since it screws up sometimes when trying to use it as a form of evasion when there are enemies near by. Granted I know its an attack and attacks in this game are magnetic in general.

DAT FINAL BOSS
The whole time this was all I was thinking

In a good way though since I wasn't expecting something so crazy.
At the same time though after beating it while I had a lot of fun with it, part of me wishes it was more serious in tone like it was originally planned. But at the same time when it's this fun and over the top I can kind of forgive that.

Now, that I've gotten over my final boss rage (partially)
Who the hell was Armstrong anyway? Maybe I just wasn't paying attention.

It's my only huge problem with the game, really. Bullets/RPGs from off screen with little to no warning would be the other, but it's not even on the same scale of annoyance.
BUT THEN THE MUSIC SYNCHRONIZES WITH A BOSS GOING SUPER TURBO EDITION, AND I NO LONGER CARE ABOUT THE CAMERA ISSUES.
THIS GAME.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Okay, I'm sorry... I know it's been answered many times before; but now that I actually have time to play, I can't find that breakdown. Please help, and sorry for the repetition:
On PS3:
If bad guy is flashing orange, press SQUARE + DIRECTION OF ENEMEY to parry. The closer to impact you wait, the better.
If bad guy is flashing... yellow... you can dodge, correct? How? I'm on the Gekkos early in chapter 1, and they keep kicking me. How do I avoid that?
And if they're blue, it's Blade Mode time, right? Slash the square and drain their fluids, yes?

Getting stuck on walls seems to be one of the biggest issues with the camera. R-02 is one of the biggest offenders here. Fixing that alone would go a long way.
And FUCK YEAH to your second point. Hell, it's a fucking incentive. Sure I could kill Sundowner without destroying his shields but then the FUCK AWESOME vocals wouldn't kick in.
Also, does anyone have any tips for getting no damage on R-02 optional encounter (4 water skimmers and some Dwarves) on Revengeance? The skimmers generally pincer me and I can't deal with them fast enough.
Lol, that was so me my first playthrough, too. And trying the Revengeance difficulty for the first time. Ughhh, love this game.
You either get out of the way or carefully time a Defensive Offense (square+X/X+A) to abuse invincibility frames.

Armstrong is trying to recruit/test Raiden. This also explains the hug
Hikari-chan, so kawaii.

It wasn't as bad as you guys said it would be, you bunch of babies. And I'm on Hard.
Okay cutting the blocks he tosses at you was nearly impossible but I only needed to get it right once. And that was the attempt I won. Man that felt so good.
It honestly reminded me of the Black Baron fight from Madworld including what appeared to be a direct reference to it. That fight was really badass except for the game not reading one specific wiimote input, so I guess they have a lot in common.
But yeah I don't think it'd be that bad on Revengeance if you were actually good at cutting those things he throws.

Did anyone else play on normal and breeze through it except for the Monsoon fight? It's the only point in the game where I needed to use a health pack and I had to use 4.

I ran into a brick wall against Sam and the Final Boss.
