FYI to all the Modern Warfare 2 folks: you can preorder on Amazon and get a $10 video game credit once it ships. They actually have that credit going on a lot of games.

I got $10 from GH5 which I used to buy Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days which gives another $10 credit. I'm going to use that credit to preorder Brutal Legend and Uncharted 2 which will give me another $15 credit. I'll use that on preordering Assassin's Creed 2 and New SMB Wii which will give me yet another $20 credit. On top of my 10% Amazon video game discount I get, that amounts to lots of savings, hehe.

Jboy can't , he's trying to keep Hanna Montana as his hardest plat !

I'll have a crack a NGS2 as well, when it eventually comes out in Japan. Funny, it's a Jap game and gets released in the west first.

@Arcturus

Lovin' the trophy charts mate. Keep up the amazing job.

Wait, huh?

I'm about to buy KZ2. That will probably be my hardest if I get it. Then I'll probably rent NGS2 to see if I like it. Is it a hack/slash game?

your trophy card is screwy lol it says you have 14 platinums and only 8 bronze lol

I thought you played KZ2 a bunch a few months ago, didn't you get the top 1% trophy already ?

It's a hack/slash game but pressing random buttons will get you nowhere except dead on harder difficulties( you can get buy not doing combos in normal mode though (path of the warrior). You have to block/counter a lot in the game too ( in that regard it's closer to a fighting game).

Enemies don't get buffed up in harder difficulties either, you just face new more powerfull enemies.

So far the game is still a lot easier on normal mode than NGS1 though. You have a lot more save points and each save point heals you to full...

I'd try for the NGS2 one, but I lack the cash to buy it. In fact, I lack the cash for a lot of games that happen to be coming out in October. If I did have the money, I'd get Uncharted 2, Brutal Legend, Borderlands, Ratchet & Clank, Demon's Souls and Way of the Samurai 3, plus the recently released titles like Katamari Forever, NGS2 and possibly Tornado Outbreak.

Why are u so mean to Jboy.

Btw: How is the game so far?

Path of the warrior is a lot easier than normal in NGS1.

You get a lot more save point and each save point heals you to full. You get back some health after every encounter too....

I have yet to use healing items except on a couple bosses.

The bosses are still a pain and I can see some giving major headache in harder modes.

There's many enemies that will grab you through block, you can't stand still bloquing and hope not to take damage, have to reverse wind non stop almost...

You have to obliterate the enemies missing limbs fast because if they get to you they will grab you through block and do MAJOR damage as they die.

Starting chapter 4 there are standards enemies that won't be killed by lvl 1 UT ( but lvl 2 will), I thought it only happened much later in the game in NGS1.

Generally I find I am doing reverse wind a lot, and that aside from a couple mistakes only the bosses kill me until I learn their pattern ( but 5-7 deaths/boss until I do). End of Chapter 6 boss was a huge pain in particular, he does 2 different attacks and I have yet to find a reliable way to dodge one of them so I had to heal to beat him............I coudn't find a way to do major damage to him too so the fight took forever

The ghost fish from NGS1 are back and they are a MAJOR PAIN. You fight them in the water instead of on the ground and it's annoying as hell...

There is no score for the regular play-through , only for team mission of when you do chapter select(which I believe you unlock when you clear the game). Scoring is going to be quite different from NGS1 with less emphasis on UT I believe...
