Any chance you can convince them to take back the copy of the game you received opened (so you can extricate the soundtrack) in exchange for a new PS3 game? I mean, it should be the least they can do, and they can still easily sell a used copy on day 1 for a sizable amount.

the camera is also unruly in that it focuses on the Ray's head when it seemingly wants you to attack its ankles.(unless I'm missing something)
that and the fact that the key to S-Ranking it is to do as little as possible for the sake of time, since none of the other aspects have been introduced yet.
Same thing with the unwinnable Sam fight I think

That robs me of the steelbook I payed for and the DLC I should have gotten for pre-ordering, though.
I'm literally twitching with anger right now.

So is it safe to leave this lamp on for extended periods? It looks so cool I never want to turn it off...
You'll get to keep the steelbook. The game isn't packed inside it, luckily, it comes in a standard plastic case. The case isn't identical to the regular edition since it has a soundtrack CD inside, but other than that it's the same, I think. Also, the DLC is going to be emailed to you, so presumably you'll still get a PS3 code!

It just kept shooting the laser at me from a distance and I got bored so I just went ham on its ankles
Yeah I don't think there's a pattern to it either, he just does whatever lol. I never saw the tail attack either until my 4th or 5th go around just to get the achievement. I think the first time it took me like 10-15 mins on hard just to be form 1 because I only worked on the ankles and it was just a pain chasing him around.
Second form, same thing, perfect parry his face. I don't know if it's possible to dodge his laser though.
Just make sure to input the BA equivalent fast at the Push Start screen. If you do it too slow you end up at the menu.

Just got through the first chapter.
...DAMN!
This game is amazing already. Is this what a real Platinum Games game is like? I love it.

Go play Bayonetta and Vanquish after this.

So is normal actually too easy? And do I have to complete normal anyway to unlock anything?
And any quick advice on stuff not to miss or simple tips that will help out someone just starting the game?

Hey, don't forget about the codec! Pleasantly surprised with the variety of conversations you can have.

Nnnnnnnnnope! They said I can't open it to take the soundtrack out, and the DLC is on a card taped to the back of the game. So I'm screwed out of both of them.

Parry the head and arms when they attack you. Can actually kill the boss with hardly ever touching the legs.
I never touched the demo, so I spent like an hour on Blade Wolf trying the get parry down and finally win. I'd always get to the UA part of the fight and have no health and screw it up. Mistral fight was cake, but I got a worse rank.
It's a lot of fun though, but still not fond of cutting for health and FC recharge.
It's crazy how Raiden basically never lets up. It feels like one long combo sometimes without even trying which is nice.
I didn't want to cut her, so I just went into Blade Mode and did nothing and Raiden fucking cut her in half (bastard). I'm going to see if doing nothing keeps her encased in ice at the end of the fight.

Anyone having trouble redeeming the gamestop preorder bonus?
My GS clerk told me to wait a bit, because there was a problem on Konami's end.

Not a combo game :/ but you could do some cool moves
Nope, but needing 200000BP for the Fox Blade sucks. lol
That thing is a win button.

For some reason, you gotta jump at the end. They don't really indicate you're suppose to either
Yeah, it's dumb

Not yet. I read about some ill shit that you can do in the game though. I'm just waiting on the video, to see it myself.
I didn't jump at the end, just kept holding Ninja Run and moving forward and it did the jump automatically.
The amount of times you die or retry don't matter in this game.
The only thing I haven't seen mentioned much is that dodge offset is in the game.

Now see, I tried that 3 separate times. Run to the left, die somehow, run the right die somehow, run straight down the middle, die somehow. "Fuck it, bunny hop time" kept mashing jump and that's how I got through it
Whatever works, I guess.

I will once the video is up. Might not be for a while though... >.>

Just got the 360 version with the steelbook case on my way home! Can't wait for the second home console metal gear game this gen. I don't feel that story-telling has ever been Platinum's strength, but it certainly is Kojima's. I'm going into this a little more skeptical than I should considering how I feel about Platinum and Kojima, but now I just need some time to play it. I'm pretty excited.
Really?

I didn't even realize we had essentially Health/Magic potions, over there on the left side of the select screen.
That has made this Monsoon fight MUCH more managable
