Do you have to do anything special in boss fights to unlock things or anything to look out for? Or just fight and win?
Also, I found an Endurance +1 in a chest. Does this mean I actually got an upgrade, or just unlocked the ability to buy it? If its the former, does that mean you can kind of "waste" BP on stuff you'll get from chests anyway?

I should be alright... it is just these stupid ass QTEs. Really fed up with them. I have to be doing something wrong. Sometimes I get out easy other times I can't get out no matter how hard I mash.

Endurance+1 from chest extend your life bar by 10%, it's instantaneous, your life bar gets longer as soon as you pick it up. You can buy health upgrade with BP but you can't achieve maximum health (200%) by purchasing the upgrades alone.
I'll figure it out i'm sure...at least I hope lol. Its not exactly as easy as witch time, but I guess once you get used to it, it'll be sorta second nature.
These QTEs are breaking my spirit. I'll just go Hard then. (It is pretty unfortunate because I can deal with every other enemy but these gorillas so far.)
Mashing to get un-dizzy or get out of grabs just sucks. It is bad in fighting games and it is bad in action games.
Combos are not equal to depth. Stringing skills to match your situation and your enemy type, while parrying and dodging and zandatsu-ing them into oblivion, that's depth.

Just finished chapter 1 on hard with a B grade. The game isn't really difficult due to being able to spam the parry move in the middle of enemy/boss combos. That being said the game is incredibly fair and such.
Mistral went down pretty damn easy, really dug the fight overall.
I beat every enemy I saw, and didn't really bother stealthing any of it. The combat was too fun for me to want to kill people instantly.
My rankings were all B's, one A, and two C's.
My favorite boss was
Monsoon.
That story was fucking ridiculous. In a good way. It was fun.
Overall, my impressions are good. It could've used one or two more chapters, and the story wasn't what I expected. The gameplay was great though, as was the soundtrack. I'm going to replay it on hard now, and I'm also going to try to get rid of those two C's. I'm ashamed of them, but my excuse is that the damn QTEs got me on both of them.

I'd go on record and say Rising has the best action game soundtrack ever, the music motivates and amps you up. Can't say the same about the grunge whispering that's been in every Devil May Cry game.
Bayonetta had a good soundtrack but you can barely call it a soundtrack, felt like there were a total of four songs.
Yes, square plus cross on PS3, A plus X on 360. You gotta buy it, though. I think it's called defensive offensive?
Not that I could see, no.
Nope.
Huh? You can jump backwards.
Nope.
Just press your analog stick and light attack towards an enemy as soon as they flash. It's simple once you get the hang of it. You can even do it during combos.
It is nice to have more combos, I admit, but how much combos Rising have is not, by any measure, a sign that this game doesn't have depth. You can have hundreds of combos, but if the enemies doesn't force you to use those combos, you will just end up with one or two of your favorite combos all the way.
Yes, you have to buy it in the customization menu. That menu is in the codec menu and going to it will reset you back to the nearest checkpoint.
Can u run on walls like in demo?
No
Can you double jump?
Haven't heard or seen that yet. I'd guess no.
Can you back flip?
No.
Can you roll?
No.
I can never parry anything. Any tips?
Don't be afraid to mash the parry command once you spot an enemy swinging or attacking, the red flash is always a good warning but don't parry as you see that. Wait just a tiny bit until you see the enemy start their attack.
at first i loved this game and chopping guys in half and absorbing their spines. but then the long leg monsters started kicking my ass, and i wanted to drive over my playstation with my car. but then i learned how to fight them and i love this game again
I started the game on Hard and I also felt that the prologue was really easy. Chapter 1 is pretty easy too until you get to Mistral, and that's more annoying than hard because of the damn
Dwarf Gekko
. Chapter 2 got hard as hell at the end though, and Chapter 3 throws so much shit at you. I'm only by Chapter 4 so far.
Mistral was easy as hell for me on hard, you just gotta keep ninja running and light slicing so you don't get grabbed. Then when you're close hit her enough with light attacks to trigger a Zandatsu moment to rid her of her weapon.
I also bought all the upgrades available in the first chapter though, so that might be why the fight was really easy.
If I'm not mistaken there is a backflip actually, but I don't remember how I did it (IF I did it), I'll play the demo and see if I can find the exact command for it.
Parrying is essential in this game. Just defending leaves you open to attacks from other enemies, and you just don't look as cool!
