CamelCamelCamel.
Thanks for tip. Will go for preowned click n collect 👌
Nice! I figured they must have been price matching someone.
I have to say that this game has not aged well. It’s borderline unplayable.
Which means it's playable, yeah?
This is a remake and with this game so the graphics is alright, you pretty much fight 16 bosses.
You can either try to figure them out or you can watch youTube for the solution.
XCV//'s hard mode time attack videos are the best, but he doesn't explain how he did certain things (just video). For example, Gaius (#3), he used resist the wrist method, it is the most efficient way, but you need to know how to judge / time the moment for the jump (it is reproducible if you know it). For easy or normal mode, you are better off using the standard break the wrist band method.
Final boss, his shortest path for part 1, plus that leap of faith kind of jump from the shoulder to right arm, really makes it much easier.
Some people won't like this type of games. Maybe just watch the walk-through video part 1 to see if you like this game or not. It is quite different.
Cool now I don't need to buy this- thanks!
It has good reviews from most reviewers (most reviewers either know about this game or played PS2 or PS3 versions already). For user reviews, it is divided so it is not a game for everyone.
No point re-playing it if you already played PS2 or PS3 version. One down side of this game is the cool items/weapons require you to play time attack in hard mode, which can be quite frustrating.
What’s the point of getting the game if you just watch someone else solve all the bosses? Most the bosses aren’t too difficult to quickly figure out by yourself.
For hard mode time attacks, the time is really limited. Easy mode and normal are fine. In time attack, you don't get to accumulate the grip meter bar and you must use default weapons. Also, you cannot get exact same attack going most of the time.
The gold coins are a lot of efforts from various people (for their locations). Honestly, if you don't keep track of your gold coin collection, it will be a pain to hunt down the missing last few ones. Some gold coins can only be obtained with items which you must obtain from doing sufficient hard mode time attacks.
@FireRunner: Time attacks (normal and hard) are the only ways to get the special items. They are great for standard game play. Cloth of desperation (kinda like a mini parachute) is required to collect some of the gold coins. Some of the sword(s) can achieve 1 hit kill on a sigil. Cloth of invisibility means just walk through the first part of the final boss since he cannot see you to shoot you. All those goodies cannot be used in time attacks of course.
Things I didn't realise until I watched youTube videos. There are different jumps (the circle meter - the one goes from inside to outside - the same meter that determines how much damage you can do to a sigil - also determines how much you jump up). Jump stab is something you will find very useful in hard mode time attacks for a number of bosses. Also, there is normally a spot in the sigil area where you can retain grip much easier (with exceptions as some bosses you must aim for the middle).
Normal game play - sure, just enjoy it. Time attacks - might as well know how to do it the fastest possible way. It's not as easy as you think to emulate the fastest method on some of the bosses. Some youTube videos actually show you slower / less optimal ways.
Controls definitely feel aged but far from unplayable. I really enjoyed it
