Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Oh, Gravity Rush. You had all my love, and then you throw a boss at me that I have to defeat in a limited amount of time? I still love you, but I love you less now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I hope you have a high leveled gravity kick. I find that's probably what I use the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I hope you have a high leveled gravity kick. I find that's probably what I use the most. I ended up having to upgrade my gravity kick for this optional boss https://twitter.com/jbu3/status/213663695367192576/photo/1 Which is kicking my ever-loving ass right now. I've died like 20 times so far, yet I keep on trucking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuchikoma Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Wow... that's crazy. I'm just several missions in so far, but I'm still finding it really hard to move gracefully from point to point. I'm always crashing into and through things, doing kicks straight past nevi that simply sidestep, and doing throws that result in the object just shattering in front of me instead of taking flight... I hope it starts to feel a bit smoother soon because I am not having much luck with that game. How many missions did you have to do before controlling it started to feel natural? (edit: grammar may be optional, but I think this post works better with it...) Edited June 17, 2012 by fuchikoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 How many missions did you have to do before controlling it started to feel natural? To be honest, some of it never feels "natural", especially the gravity slide. Gravity slide races feel like you're running with a shopping cart while wearing ice skates. But other than that, 5-6 missions in and I felt like I got the hang of things. It's just like how you start "thinking with portals" after you play a lot of Portal; you quickly map out your destination and what you need to do to get there in your head.

fuchikoma Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Thanks - that's encouraging. I was worried it might take too long to get good at it, or I was just sucking and that it might hold me back... So far, it FEELS really hard, but I'm still not in much risk of actually failing, so maybe it's just awkward but doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Be sure to spend your upgrade points, too. Upgrading things like your shift time and gravity kick makes the game easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 You do get used to it. Gravity Shifting around feels pretty natural, combat can be a little staccato at times. I still feel that sliding is a rubbish it just doesn't feel responsive enough (maybe need to upgrade sliding more). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I still feel that sliding is a rubbish it just doesn't feel responsive enough (maybe need to upgrade sliding more). Haven't played this game yet (waiting for my replacement Vita since I plan to reformat my memory card and so don't want to start now) but from general experience that kind of thing is the hardest to decide. Is it just crap now and I need to upgrade it, or will it always be crap and will upgrading be a waste of points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I don't think experience points are limited. There are replayable areas with monsters that respawn so while time might be wasted, points aren't. Either way, I'd be interested if responsiveness improves. Or at least if speed improves to the point that you can go, stop and spin, rather than actually driving. To be fair, it is only necessary in a few time trials, so not story significant, but mildly vexing nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I'm trying to convince myself to get Gravity Rush. I have a few questions: 1. Does the game have English VA? As I recall, the demo didn't. 2. In terms of mechanics, how does it compare to crisis core? I'm asking because I consider Crisis Core a very good portable game, as it has tons of missions you can do on the go, albeit repetitive, it gives me something to strive for so, so I do feel rewarded as I complete the next harder missions. I've read from you guys posts that there are missions although I don't know how similar they are. 3. Does it have some sort of materia system? Like DNA boards and gun upgrades in The 3rd birthday or Materia in Crisis Core? Something similar? (Yes I like Squeenix portables) 4. Someone mentioned inFamous. Is there an open world? 5. Could I have researched all of this? Maybe. I'll watch a review after I post this. Reading is for losers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 1. I'm not sure if the speech is actually in any language. It sounds like Simlish to me. 2. Battles aren't random like in Crisis Core. It's more like inFamous I guess, except that you don't get enemies just strolling about the place (at least not that I've seen yet). Missions are varying types. Time Attack - Kill monsters within time limit. Three types of races. Sliding, Free Race and Energy Race. Some fetch and carry missions. They are activated by visiting a spot in the world. So they do fit the "I've got two minutes to earn a gold medal" gameplay that the Crisis Core missions had. 3. The "RPG" elements are very light. You have a number of moves and stats that you can upgrade, but it's not like you will go for a certain type of build. You just max everything out over time. 4. It is indeed open world. 5. Yes, you could have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Thanks!!! (I'm playing it now!) Edit: The music and the city kinda reminds me of Basel from Resonance of Fate. Mot to mention there is a tower here too. Edited June 19, 2012 by elev3n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpholt Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I think i've just reached Chapter 15. Am i the only one who thinks the game is suffering from being quite simplistic? You walk around, talk to some random who spouts information, then look for the red marker and begin your next mission. Then you get into a fight with a giant monster. It's all a little boring. Don't get me started on those damn slide races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Sounds like Shadow of the Colossus but with more talking. I think you are oversimplifying the game. There's plenty of variety: 1. Story missions. Navigating from point A to B. Fighting lots of small monsters. Fighting a big monster. Fetch quests. Survival against many many monsters. 2. Challenges. Pretty much the above but with a time limit. 3. Hunting the rare Nevi. 4. Finding the people lost in time. 5. Tooling about, talking to people and collecting gems.

Strangelove Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I think the developers of Gravity Rush expected some kind of similarities to Shadow of the Colossus or even Red Dead Redemption. A game where half of it is just traversing, going from one place to another because the gamer wants to "soak it all in". At least thats the way I feel about it. Flying around is just a lot of fun that I truly dont expect other parts of the game, like the combat to be more "deeper" than they already are. Everyone seems to dislike the simplistic mashy combat, but I wouldnt want Bayonetta or Ninja Gaiden type combat from a game like this. I think it would be cumbersome and take away from everything else. People would focus more on making combos than on using gravity attacks. Theyd be pointless and the game would cease to be it's own original thing. God knows it wouldnt appeal to all the people Gravity Rush appeals to as it is now. Dont get me wrong, I LOVE Bayonetta and Ninja Gaiden and DMC, but those games arent friendly to people who dont want to learn the game outside and inside out. Mastering the mechanics that are in GR are already something the "hardcore" can focus on. Thats another problem people have with the game - it's not precise enough. Well, its not supposed to be. This isnt a Sonic game. It doesnt have an exact autolock. Its only mildly autolock with some attacks, but you still have to time your attacks right and configure them as you go along. Precision and timing is just something you get better at with time. The game is just wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuchikoma Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hey Gravity Rushers... How many of you fought this guy? I gave it a shot, but this was the first time I've seen the "Game Over" screen. I was actually just starting to think there's not much actual challenge in the game beyond wrestling with the controls but this guy kills me every single time, in two hits, is immune to super attacks and doesn't appear to take damage from anything else either. I went on without fighting him and later saw a slightly different looking one, but he was a wuss... I broke every orb on his body in one kick each and when I took a punch from him it did almost no damage. She's not kidding that this one isn't like the others!

danielpholt Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 What chapter is that? I don't think i've had to fight him. The toughest guy i've faced so far was Alias (his name was something stupid like that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuchikoma Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 He's hidden in the early part of chapter 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpholt Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 They have hidden bosses? I don't think i've been giving this game enough of my time. I'll admit, i did start to just seek out the next mission after chapter 6-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpholt Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Having spent an hour on Gravity Rush this afternoon, i can safely say i'm back on board. Question to those of you who have completed it. I'm on Chapter 15, should i expect to see a marked rise in difficulty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 There's a couple of challenging missions later on. The 3 rare nevi are the biggest challenge combat wise, largely since they are immune to your specials and hit very hard, but they are all doable. I didn't go toe to toe with them. I just did some hit and run attacks and then found a health orb, wash, rinse, repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpholt Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I've done the first two this morning, however after repeatedly dying whilst trying to take down the flying one, i've called it quits for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 If you kill the nevi on the Saturn-ish rock there will be a health orb that keeps reappearing. I just took a trip to the flying one. Hit it a few times and then scurried off to get my health back. Did that a few times till it went down. The hardest bit of that one is knowing when to retreat. A few times I was one node from killing it and pushed my luck too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
