Used this for a few minutes and I think I like it better. Dodge with ZR, attack with Y, dismiss legion with B. Seems more natural.I remapped my control scheme to Layout C which felt way more natural. Dodge is mapped to ZR like in Bayonetta.

Still early on (file 3) but man, this game just isn't clicking so far. The stuff at base and then the investigation parts of chapters are just boring and kill the pacing. Then the combat just feels messy so far, so many buttons to remember. It feels so unnatural to me to have three of the shoulder buttons to control the legion and then the fourth is the attack button, and then I'm always pressing A to dodge instead of B. Obviously a learning curve but it doesn't feel 'right' to me. I'm trying to learn how to pull of this L button slash attack and it's so clunky, I'm just having to use it now to sever the link between two enemies and it's so finicky trying to line it up mid-action, and there's a weird delay between pressing the button and the actual UI appearing.
I'll keep going and hope it clicks, W101 is like in my top 10 games ever and I was hoping to like this just as much.
They said they have plans to make a trilogy if the game is successful and sells well.I've read that the game starts a trilogy, was that confirmed by Platinum games?
Seems we see a second game then, as Platinum already deemed this game succesful.They said they have plans to make a trilogy if the game is successful and sells well.
Yup, makes me happy. Astral Chain is an amazing game despite some of its flaws.Seems we see a second game then, as Platinum already deemed this game succesful.
Looking forward to that.
I agree, this game is full hype anime cyberpunk action.Yup, makes me happy. Astral Chain is an amazing game despite some of its flaws.
I thinks the first translation was a bit wrong. Taura himself corrected the translation.They said they have plans to make a trilogy if the game is successful and sells well.
I fell out of the world when it didn't load properly. I don't want to advertise my own twitter feed too much but there's a bunch of other tweets there showing off the weird proclivities of this (like, for example, riding/wearing the two Legions you can allows you protection from the void boundary and that leads to some weird shit)
How do you rescue the Ninja kitty in File 04? Says to use an empty can, but I have one and can't figure out how to use it on the cat.
That file 09 was Bayonetta 2's fight against the Masked Lumen level of over the topness holy fuck.
are ya really telling me this wasn't even the final boss
If anything I don't want them to remove the plattforming, I want them to improve it.The platforming in this game really is dreadful, yeah. If there's a sequel I don't want to see any of it, I really, really don't. Along with any annoying manouevering around disappearing platforms, moving obstacles. Hate it. The number of times I've rolled my eyes because of the fiddly chain jumping is very high. Especially when you have to do it around some fucking crystals and the character just brushes them and falls to their death.
Think I'm almost done now, found it quite funny that I've got the Order completed for beating the game with an A rank even though I'm still on chapter 11. Wonder if I'll get over the line for an S rank before the credits roll...

It's a strange game, and I stand behind most of the criticisms I made of it when I was partway through. The pacing is strange, and the density of secrets in the levels had me slowing down and scouring everything (and still missing lots of cats, toilets, and cases), even when the game wants to create a sense of urgency. Minigames and side activities vary wildly in quality. The scoring system is absolutely busted, with battles being incredibly difficult to do well in early on, and then trivial to S+ once all your legions are available. Legion maintenance is a bad mechanic that makes the game worse. The story is incredibly predictable pulp, with few characters that really stand out, stakes that didn't feel as monumental to me as they should have (even at the game's climax), and lots of weirdly dropped plot threads surrounding critical aspect of the setting which I assume are being saved for the planned trilogy...
Riding the Beast is terrible. There's no slow movement, it just shoots in whatever direction and jumps off platforms without a second thought. That combined with the disappearing platforms in case 5... Why does Platinum keep insisting in these types of platforms?
Also I loath that enemies attack off screen, is Bayonetta really the only game from them that did this right? There's no clear cue I find and I just get slaughtered by something I can't see or hear coming.
Famous last words.
It does. Files 9-10-11 are better, to me 8 felt like the weakest chapter of the game.
You can also just nudge a can on a floor towards it with a collision.Equip a can to your item wheel and use it like a grenade, then just walk up to the cat while it's distracted.
Hahaha I agree, the game should have a difficulty option a the start of the chapter or a selector in some menu, I wonder why they decided to ask every time you finish a chapter.Do you want to save?
Yes.
This will overwrite your data. Are you sure?
Yes.
And you wish to continue playing?
YES...
At this difficulty?
YES! YES! YES HOLY SHIT JUST SHUT UUUUUUUUUUP
If I replay a chapter within a file... do I have to finish the whole file in order to continue to my latest played file/point in the game?
Does it affect progress, upgrades, ranks, rewards?
Also, any tips for camera configuration? I'm having trouble with the camera during battles.
I'd like to know this as well. I'd like to go back and play certain parts of certain files, but not if I'm going to be forced to finish the entire file each time.
You don't have to. Everything you do is save you lose points for not do the whole chapter at the results screen but all items and ranks are saved.
