Ace. Thanks, man. It's a ray of sunshine on an otherwise cloudy day.
Wish I got that shit. I'm having to deal with best buy support to get my damn code.
I haven't had any really pleasant pre order experiences in a while. It's a hassle just to get the shit I preordered. This may be my last time doing so. I'd rather wait a month, have the game drop to 40 and get it that way. A skin isn't worth this hassle.

All we need is God of War and Bayonetta 2 to have hamfisted political statements to really seal the deal this year

Maybe I should've asked this in this thread: When does the gamestop code for the cyborg Fox costume go live? Called GameStop and they haven't a clue....as usual.

I think you mean unfortunately, haha. That's part of why I love their games.
Not really if anything this is the first time I have ever seen someone not praise them as usual. Breath of fresh air tbh. Camera is shit
Okay.gif
Codec calls and cutscenes are making the game for me. Platinum turned Raiden into a mix of Ryu Hayabusa and Dante (not Donte), it's charming.
People complained about Bayonetta's over the topness.
Not sure why...thats the main draw of Platinum's games. They took over where Capcom stopped after DMC 4.
Edit: And those wondering about how to parry, just press forward and attack when you see an enemy's eye or whatever light flash red.

Really enjoying the game, can't wait to finish it up on hard tomorrow and then move on to very hard or Revengeance.
I remember seeing that and just going "what? did this just happen?".

The sequence from the Jack the Ripper trailer has different dialogue in the game, and makes a lot more sense lol
Laugh. It was an amazing moment in the history of videogames.

Broken lamp...crap. Fission Mailed. Sending back to Amazon for a replacement, which means I don't get to Zan-Datsu.
Sorry to hear that.
Is it broken BROKEN like mine [glass = shattered], or does it just refuse to work?
At the very least, you have a replacement option. I don't, considering EBGames is "Sold Out". -_-

I still don't understand this left hand thing, what am I supposed to look out for? Do they show up if I press up on the D-pad? And I just have to carefully sever the arm off of said enemy?
Also, are there actual "stages" in the game, or does it just keep continuing? So far I've just
then jumped down and now am continuing on with the stage. Does it just continue on like this or are there definitive stage endings?

The boss battles are pretty epic.
Raiden couldn't be more charmless in this game.

I got Sam's sword now but I have no more paste to heal myself ugh anyone have tips? I can't perfect party any of his attacks

This may well be a long shot... but I have a code for the Amazon pre-order armor if anyone would rather have that instead of their Gamestop pre-order armor. Not really interested in the inferno armor or whatever. PM me if you would like to swap.
They are for me.
@Jett: Raiden's quips > Donte's quips. That's all that matters to me, Raiden is less "offensive" to my sensibilities (trying to be edgy for the sake of edgy) than Donte.

Shattered
Sad times all around.Pretty much what they were going for, in fact he seems to think of himself precisely as a tool of war. I never expected him to have much charm but I do wish he sounded more calm/cool like he was in the MGS4 codec calls. His voice is more gruff than necessary.
Shattered
Ugh, it really is depressing huh?
Well I hope your replacement does not take long to reach you!

This is the part that's killing me. It is so forced and the voice actor can't even keep it up or keep it consistent. It takes me out of the game whenever Raiden talks. Not that the game isn't outstanding otherwise so far...

Just finished on hard. Total Play time = 6:15:32. Does the final screen playtime still only include successful runs? The game felt a LOT longer than that (in a good way).

Change the difficulty to whatever you were playing on while in the chapter select menu.
Parry, always parry (and dodge when you get dodge later).
"Bullseye!" It makes me smile every time.
I would take that over every single line that DmC Dante says.
Man, so obvious. Thanks! Had to switch it to Hard.

How do I beat the last boss. Holy shit. Dumb.
I'm going to break my control rn. This is so frustrating
We all know you have an AGENDA towards that game. It's hard to take this seriously with your bias
OMFG you dying too? I'm still dying I'm going to cry and its on NORMAL.

Hey, I'm not trying to hide it. I abhor DmC Dante, but I did listen to every one of his shitty lines...
except maybe "this really is hell"

After I got the hang of the last boss, I realized that it is actually pretty great. Does what a last boss should do - tests to make sure you can do everything the game has taught you for the last 6 hours.
The last boss is not that hard.
When he does his "fire attacks", the ground illuminates where the fire is going to strike. Just move, man. When he goes into heal mode, blade mode will interrupt him. Hit the pink square on the back of his head. Also, use dodge more often than parry.

So um how far are you on this?
Just chapter 3 on Hard so far! I really really like the parry system. They made timing really generous and you can even parry out of the normal grunt's combo strings. It's so simple, but it maintains the momentum of the fight in a way that I find really unique and interesting.
So far, the game's a rollercoaster ride. I'm hoping that it maintains that strength of pacing.
Hamfisted political statements? I haven't gotten the game yet so do you mind if you expand on that?

Is there any reason not to Customize in the middle of a mission? Is there any penalty or something?
