That's exactly the same as mine then (both in regards to the ING being white and the smudges and stuff inside the casing.
It does look awesome though.
FOX Blade fully powered up instant kills anyone.

....now to weigh up whether the temptation to break the game is better than my own pride.
I'll stick to the VR Missions for now. Only six more to 1st Rank.

Why did this have to be a pre-order exclusive... Does is affect achievements? Does it work on bosses?

Doesn't affect achievements, I am sure it works on bosses but not quite instant. The way the bosses are structured is that you can't get too much damage in before they go through their scripted sequences anyway.
Grey Fox and the FOX Sword are available on the Marketplace for me right now though. 240MSP.
Good job! glad you stuck with it after your Aliens review.
It's fucking ridiculous even not fully powered. The grunts just get ran through like butter.
Nope, Hit the [Select] button, and go to [Customization], that allows you to equip any DLC though you have to "purchase" it first using BP.

Well then, awesome.
Would this make Revengeance mode a bit easier? (I'm only on hard right now).
Very fun review to watch! Well done sir!
If you aren't spotted, you can one shot them with a stealth kill from behind.
Otherwise, time your parries well if fighting them on the ground. Personally I try to jump and air combo them when possible, seems to make me less vulnerable to their leg attacks.
LMAO @ the codec conversation between you and Snake.

You can purchase a move that lets you backstep and sidestep. You can also block and parry.

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
You should watch his reaction to the entire last boss battle (starts around 10:40:00). Everything was going smoothly until then. It's like the game ripped his heart out and stomped it into a million pieces. I felt genuinely bad for the guy since he was having so much fun beforehand, but everything about the
Armstrong character
The last fight is definitely going to be very divisive among players, but I absolutely enjoyed the whole shebang. From the
relentless absurdity of the situation

"Estas bien?"
"What did'ju say?"
So fucking good. And I think Bladewolf is officially *personality comparison to a character from a tv show*
. At least with that first bit of dialogue from the backseat.

To be fair, the same thing nearly happened with me. I was like, "This game is amazing. Slightly absurd, but amazing!"
Then the final boss happened, and I was like, "Oh, um, well, this... this... I guess I'll just beat the game now."
Thanks for the tips. will try it later ^_^

Yeah, a lot of people's experience with the game went from "This is pretty damn fun!" to "ok, let's just get done with this, fuck..." with that final boss. Bit of a sour note to go out on, that one

I forgot to mention, but lol at that scene late in the game where

that guy was ogling anime girls in a magazine

You can get a bonus for no kills AND no damage.
But I would think that the points you would normally receive for killing people and Zandatsu would kind of negate the effect.
I did a no kill run of one level and only really got about three or so S ranks out of eight or whatever.
thanks

Yeah, I can say the same thing. I think it was just how abrupt everything in that scene was. I probably would've loved it if there were a few more segments in that chapter to build up to the craziness. It also might've been the fact that I knew at that point the game was ending, which was a little disappointing. I want a sequel.

Heres the Limited Edition Lithograph that comes with the LE strategy guide incase anyone was interested. Mines #5370.

Oh so the LE guide is actually a real thing. Who'd have thought it with the way they're being handled by retailers...

Aw man, you just sold me. I have the MGS4 guide with the lithograph, so now I wanna make it a pair.

Worst last boss in a while. Definitely went out on a sour note

I got mine at Best Buy. They had about two left. My GameStop didnt have any, but they probably sold out at the Midnight that they told me they weren't having lol.
I have that one as well and its sort of why i wanted to buy this one. They look very similar in fact. Shinkawa art with a glowing red eye.
I thought the last boss was one of the best fights in the game. The character and scene before the fight was kind of cheesy though.

Amazon have moved mine to "Shipping Soon" which to me implies they have it and are packaging it
slowly
Was kind of hoping I got it before the weekend, but doubtful now. At least considering how long the game itself is taking to get to me (well, my Lamp, I own my review copy) and it's being sent the same way.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Game must really have clicked for me overnight... I woke up, started a new game on hard, and it just.... it all makes sense to me now. I still think normal is the way to go for the first playthrough, just to come to grips with the mechanics, but I'm really starting to see the allure of the harder settings.
I know it's only been out for a day, but seriously... this might be my favorite action game.

VR Missions will make grown men cry. 40 fucking minutes it took me to get 1st place in the very first VR mission. Why would I want to pay for extra suffering. No, don't hurt me more.
Zandatsu gives you 1000 bonus. You can get BP points by slicing off their legs. And you can Zandatsu machines anyway. It's good strategy to go for no kills in some situations.

There should be a way to fight with your fist whenever you want, seems like a waste to only be able to do it in one part of the game. I love the MGS2 cartwheel dodge with them.
What is this charge move he's trying to do?
They're keeping it for the Casshern DLC.

Something about this game feels like a Japanese PS2 game (in a good way), in how the characters animate and how the environment is designed and interacted with. Might just be the sort of shitty background textures. Might be the 60fps. Made me realize that it's a sort of familiarity I haven't really felt from games this gen.
