It's even worse, because they even cut the explanation from the demo and if you don't know anything about this game yet, buying that weird pudding thing being essential is probably one of the last things you think of.

It's a devilish way to teach players not to be lazy and explore every menu always the first chance you get. It's what I do with every new game I get and I hasn't let me down since. Discovered Unite Guts/Spring immediately.

I do really think the demo should have had the gentler opening of the full game + some combat afterward.
Playing this morning for a while, it really is amazing how the game does go from "How do I shot web?" to "I AM THE SENTAI ARMY OF ONE" after the flow of combat clicks.

Incredible game - playing on normal and my ranking is abysmal. I got a consolation prize trophy at the end of Act 2. Refuse to play on Easy though, having a blast. I don't feel like I'm playing terrible though, just not up to Kamiyas standards.
Has anyone found the Wonder Rocket useful? I opted for the Ball instead, I can see getting a ton more use out of it over a super jump.

It's useful for getting places you can't usually get. Some heroes are hidden on tall places that the double jump won't get you.
I use it in combos sometimes in association with the tombstone, but it gets a little redundant with Rising attacks.
Waiting on line at Nintendo World. About 15 minutes away from buying my copy.
The fact that they're so damn cheap and are recommended gives it away.
Yep, it sounds like he designed it as a tutorial. And like other parts of the game, if you don't stop and look at what they're trying to show you, you get punished.

Probably not the best place to ask, but does anybody have experience with Best Buy's trade ins compared to GameStop? Gonna roll down there in half an hour, curious if it's better/worse/about the same.

Leaving now to pick up my copy.
Yay.
Yay.
Any idea why I just got platinum rank when I got pure platinum on all of 004-A?
It's frustrating, the game froze the first time and the second time I learned the hard way that if you screw the last mission and retry you go back the mission before which is a giant crab fight...

I think that P-Star pointing the name in the habilities and objects in wonder mart means that buying that thing is recommended.
Is there a space between some medals? I think that means you havent played during that time the secret levels.
Even with that, you dont need Pure Platinum to get the last character, only platinums will suffice.
And you can restart a part in normal levels (before the newspaper with the scores appear), but boss level (operation C) you need to beat them from the start to the finish.

I just did my part to support the 101. Also helped Best Buy make two other sales (they had not put the game out yet...)
No, I did everything. Kakhoo and secret mission.
I wanted that pure platinum!!!
And you can restart even after the newspaper if the score doesn't suit you, it's just that if you go ahead the game will save and you will restart after the battle.
Strangely the crab fight and the last gamepad section are the same thing for the game even if they each have their rank.

I used the Pikmin 3 promotion and a £5 off premium card to get this for £23 on the eshop earlier, I really couldn't pass at that price.
I've yet to give the full game a try, but do you get penalised in any way for not mastering the combat system and getting all platinum medals?

Play on normal
Search for a red edge nearby (instead of a green one). Pretty much straight forward from there. you'll be able to figure it out by yourself.
Just came home from Nintendo World from the W101 event. I was 20th or so in line with a friend. Waited 3 hours and they handed fliers to everyone in line and it was pretty long. If the flier had a Nintendo stamp in it, you get a signed copy by Kamiya. There were only 20 autographed copies so 20 stamps. I was the first one to get the stamp. I was like HOLY SHIT! They took my picture and all that. Pretty lucky/crazy. Anyway here is my copy.

Is the guide essential?

Holy cow, the introduction level is soooooo good!
There is Saur on YouTube.
Was actually honestly thinking it'd mostly be useless to get a guide for those interested since Saur has some good videos up there.
Not that I had read the actual guide though.

Both Best Buy and Gamestop still have the game and guide listed as pre-order, anyone managed to snag a copy off the shelves or behind the counter?

So, I bought in from Gamestop, GAF. Didn't really care for God Hand but I'm gonna trust ya'll on this one.

Yes. Picked up my copy today at GS and I live in a small town. Online store is just probably late on updating.

Well, God Hand was Shinji Mikami, who, aside from being a different person from Hideki Kamiya, made that game seven years ago.
It's a lot like saying "I didn't like Resident Evil 4, so I'm wary of Bayonetta."

I'm not sure what they were thinking by releasing this GTA week instead of back in August like other territories. I would have bought it for sure then because of the drought, but now I only have time for 1 =/

Yes. They had to go get it from the back (Best Buy).
When I get my copy I'm going to purposely avoid buying them to see how far I can get without it.
