Go back a page, I got a few tips from others about how to beat him, although I don't know if they'll work for me yet.

I wrecked that boss with the longsword, I don't even think I got hit. It knocks him around so easily.
Wow, I'm really surprised at those of you who are saying NMH1 is better. Sure I'm only 3 hours in, but literally everything I can think of so far has been an improvement.
I guess if you love running around bland desolate cities looking for unmarked locations that contain shirts and orbs you are out of luck for this one
Also I'm personally glad the phone is out. Sure, it was one of the best uses of the Wiimote speaker, but it was still a gimmick. Travis walks so painfully slow, and you only get a bit of flavor dialogue. Then you are stuck hearing "Trust your force and enter the garden of madness!" ten times in the game. Not sure why so many people think that line is cool. Plus the sound quality of the speaker is fucking awful
Anyway, I guess its time to grind some money so I can afford better beam swordz

You know, there is something I noticed that I liked a lot more in the first game. I'm only 4 bosses in, but I've had very little reason to care about any of their characters. I don't know about anyone else, but I actually felt bad killing some of the bosses in the first game. Like
Or
. I'm sure this will change though.
Dr. Peace that sang one of my favorite tracks in the first game and talked about his daughter.
Holly Summers who blew herself up.
I finally beat that boss having troubles with, it was so intense.
It came down to us both being down to our final chunk of health, and of course my sword energy runs out!
So I run away for a bit to try and charge any amount I could get, and do it JUST in time to dodge his attack and yield the killinng blow.

The biggest problem with the game for me is actually the 2D minigames. In the first game, you could grind for cash with assassination missions. But in NMH2, you have to do the 2D games. The 2D games are kind of fun to do for short periods as a sort of nostalgia scratch, but ultimately they're not well developed and can be kind of frustrating. Just like with the first game, I'm a bit OCD with the collectibles, so I end up cooking a lot of steaks...
Also, people having trouble with #24? :lol I just spammed A and then dodged whenever I saw his attack coming. #50 was the hardest boss I've fought so far...

mechanically, this is what the first game should've been.
8bit "jobs", overworld traversed via menus, just really awesome production values.
too bad the bosses stink this time around.

I think the worst part about traveling through the city was the shitty pixel map. Though the whole thing was horrible.EzLink said:
Thank god I hated the phone too.
Are the special power moves like the Ripple Fudge Brownie Pie more...I don't know...make more sense how to get them or is it still horribly random? I remember I kept getting power ups after I just killed everything in the area, so now I'm glowing and crap and walking slow as hell waiting for it to run out.

I'm on the first level with Shinobu and I'm finding that part of what makes this game "shorter" besides the removal of grinding for the entry fees is that most of the pre boss fighting is in a single large area rather than corridor after corridor. I usually expected a couple different areas of random thugs before the boss but now it's like there's 1 and then the boss shows up
Oh and :lol at Shinobu's save. I don't know if I can play this in the room with other people anymore. I haven't even watched the BJ video because of this and people were just coming to grips with the masturbating recharge motion and the random cleavage and panty shots of Silvia during those random cutscenes

Yeah, Shinobu's save is awesome. I made sure my parents and my siblings were out of the room before I proceeded to do a save with her.
I recently beat boss
and did a revenge mission against boss
I'm about about 7 hours in. I hope I didn't miss any other revenge missions but I get the feeling that I may have given that I waited so long to do my first one.
I'm quite surprised by how well received Desperate Struggle has been with reviewers. It's currently at an impressive 90 score over at Metacritic (even surpassing Tatsunoko vs. Capcom).
I didn't really like fighting boss
with Henry. Her attacks were kind of annoying. Also, Shinobu is way cooler to play as than Henry.
As for the first game, I don't miss the cell phone calls through the Wii remote speaker.
I thought the idea was pretty clever but Silvia's voice just got annoying after a while so I would usually just turn off the volume.

I actually liked that music a lot!

I went to load my game, and saw a Deathmatch option! Where you can choose any boss...It has a 'best time' option...And I could choose Kimmy the flute girl, eventhough I never fought her while playing through the game!
girlfriend lend me the ntsc console and now im 4 hours in (mild)
sooo good, nothing negative to say about it really, its a little faster (the bosses show up, you kill them, not as deep in terms of personality as the first) and im finding the boss fights a bit easier (23rd rank right now), but no biggie, game just keeps getting better.
im sticking with the first katana as well, not liking the others, im sure ill change it when i get the dual beam one

After putting some time into the game, I'm starting to get the impression that Suda went for a quantity over quality in regards to bosses.
While they've all been pretty zany (maybe wackier than they were in the first), none of them have anything even remotely resembling a personality thatgives any kind of gravity to the fights.
It's like a bunch of disposable henchman with really fancy outfits and exaggeratingly complex weaponry.
*shrugs
The game is still fun, but it's definitely lacking that something that made the first game special enough that it's flaws were overlooked by so many of it's fans.
edit: I will say, the game has me laughing more than I did in the first one.

despite not knowing what the hell is going on I already think Matt Helms is one of the best boss fights in the series
1. Not many of the bosses go by aliases, thus you forget their name quickly
2. Unless Sylvia tells you, you wouldn't know their name until it flashes on the kill screen
3. The pre-fight cutscenes (if they even exist) tend to focus more on Travis than the bosses themselves in this game. Not worse, but different.

Just finished it. While decent, it is no match for the first one. The first one seems to have more character than the second. This one, especially the boss battles, just go through the motions. It's disappointing. I still love the first one.
Edit: I would also add that the bosses (Assassins) in the first game were quite memoriable. In this game I didn't even know who I fighting until their name was flashed on the screen at the end. And I forgotten half of them already.

So, I don't have this game yet...do you actually fight all 50 bosses in order to get ranked #1?
