Dont forget just plain throwing motherfuckers at other motherfuckers. I dont think it can really be "knocking them out" when you crush several soldiers into a single ball and throw it at a giant robot, or envelop them all in a singularity.

At least those guys ostensibly deserve it. Gravity shift too near a small child or old woman and you send the poor bastards sailing into the abyss, no consequences or comment.

I had a hard time with that during the beginning of the first game but as we saw in WW2 and will probably see again real soon, the true horror of humanity is how easily we can emotionally adapt to horrific things. Now I'm like "welp, gotta watch out in this dangerous world of gravity princesses".

edit: wow that was really dark so here's Kat trying to figure out what the hell bathroom to use

THE AWESOME GHOST
Oct 21, 2005

I liked the first game a lot at the time but felt like, by the time it was over I was begging for it to end. The combat especially got REALLY repetitive and just turned into a lot of Air kicks. I thought they'd fix that specifically but a lot of the gameplay still looks pretty air-kick centric. I do wanna float around in a PS4 level open world though..

I barely do any gravity kicks anymore because stasis is incredible now. I just got lunar phase and I hope I can go back to that amazing level again.

Does anyone have a handle on how photo sharing works? Can you only be sharing one picture at a time, or do you just send them out individually? Does anything affect where your ghost shows up? I've played for 13 hours and encountered exactly one player ghost, and that was among the stalls in the port.

Just send them out individually. I think they're geotagged in some fashion to appear where the photo was taken, because I've seen the odd ghost on the side of a building or just floating in midair.

As for what makes them appear... hosed if anyone knows at this point :v:.

I was wondering if the online part of the game was updated on some schedule every 24 hours or something, but I think at this time yesterday there were still no new photos or anything so I really don't know.

Also the Jupiter form makes Kat an avatar of destruction like never before. However, I still dunno what I would use the Lunar form for...

Lunar's for non-shifting platforming, and yes it is often outshined by just Shifting gravity and falling to where you want to go. You can rest against the side of vertical faces and leap up by kicking off on them by holding X, and angle back into the same wall to keep on climbing indefinitely.

Jupiter Style might seem the best way to get around (and it makes falling very quick), but don't try getting smart and using it for the Dreams of the Sky races or anything like that; You can't fine-tune your fall for poo poo and you'll fly right past the targets. It will absolutely clown some of the Sliding races though.

The one ghost I found was in front of a juggler, and the picture was of him doing his thing, but I wasn't sure if that was just a coincidence or not. It does sound like shot location matters now, so taking pictures in out of the way places probably won't get you those sweet Dusty Tokens.

The one where you have to dump stuff on the air-truck? It's actually easy, you just have to wait for the object to float over the truck bed before you release it (which it'll do automatically, just wait a second).

Plus you have three whole minutes to do it in, there's no way you shouldn't have a full minute left at the very least.

They keep floating AROUND the truck and keeping just enough momentum to swing off. Or they just explode for no reason, that happens a bunch too.

I don't mean boom explosion, for what it's worth, just something in there will suddenly shatter, even if I'm over near the shed grabbing that chest and chair.

Well, I got the final ending. gently caress, man. Neddy Seagoon was right, they really did..cover just about everything. Though, I don't know if I quite get the Nevi. Or the white Nevi. Or how Syd was controlling them at the end there. Buggered if I know what the "Angel Egg" Brahman jammed into Kali and Durga was either.

Yeah it's absurd. I've been doing things occasionally as they pop up on my way and I have 93. I will probably make it to 100 for the second prize Salute gesture, but I'm not gonna even make it to 300 for the first costume

That is a ludicrous amount of coins. I doubt I'll manage to hit 100, let alone 6000.

I think I had 600 by the time I finished. The reward list is definitely a bit on the expensive side.

I still have no clue the system to when and how often you get presented an online event to do. Like I have said before, it reminds me of frustrations with Dark Souls' online system. I want to do a shitload of those things both for the coins and because they're fun as hell.

Sending challenges and treasure hunt photos seems to provide a steady supply of Dusty Tokens. Regular photos seem to be quite rare. I've yet to have one of music etc rated and I've had a few from other people bug out and vanish when I try to interact with them.

On an unrelated note, Lunar Style is distilled joy. Less so for fighting, but mobility wise its a dream.

I think I just glitched out this game. After going to Hekseville and getting acces to the sewer pipe house, I replayed the mission where you first fight Raven and then team up on some soldiers, because the Raven fight has awesome music. After defeating the boss and just mashing through the dialog, Raven followed me to Hekseville, even though she's supposed to have gone missing in the story. Startled me to when she just slammed into the ground next to me. She's in constant gravity shift and just follows me around.

What is with the online system in this game? For a few days in a row I got no information that anyone had used my photo to find treasure, and then I start playing after work today and there literally ten notifications all at once that people did.

Edit: and another seven ratings of my pictures, mostly from days ago.
