Since you beat it, pick Story at the main menu. Should be the bottom two options after that selection.
Ah, thanks for that
If you're going based on the save game timer, it only counts your gameplay time and your "best" gameplay time despite any retries. Not saying it's a long game... it's fairly short because Platinum didn't have a ton of time to make it, but it might have taken you more than 5:20.
Well, my Steam counter says 8 hours, which still isn't terribly long. I've been sitting longer at The Wonderful 101 and I don't think I'm even halfway through the game.
Platinum had very little time to make this game. First it was in development hell over at KojiPro then it got switched to Platinum while they were working on their own projects.
Ah, that explains that at least.
I'm still blown away by the outcome of this game. The combat is so good and the music is fantastic.
Yeah seriously, the soundtrack really is fun-fucking-tastic.
It's not a crazy long game or anything, but the in-game timer doesn't really show your total game time since it doesn't count things like cutscenes or multiple attempts on levels (as far as I know). Steam would probably be more accurate.
Yeah, as written above: 8 hours. I didn't die that often (less than 10 times, maybe even less than 5) but I did leave the game on idle once for an hour or so.
There should be a MGR2. Seriously.
EDIT: People have problems getting parrying to work?
I use my 360 gamepad and basically just spammed X and pushed the stick towards the attacking enemy and was able to block pretty much everything as long as I reacted fast enough.
I guess parrying may be a bit more difficult with M/KB controls, because of WASD? Never even touched keyboard controls, ugh.
