After seeing people compare the armor in the Vanquish trailer to the one in P.N.03, I became intrigued. I had heard of the game prior to that but knew very little about it outside of Mikami being involved. Seeing as I don't like first person shooters at all and I can't get into any non-horror third person shooters, I thought checking out Mikami's last semi-shooter related game would make me less worried about Vanquish.
I just beat mission 3. So far, I'm enjoying the game but can definitely see why it was panned by critics. The control scheme takes some getting used to and the dodge mechanics could be much better. I've died several times by accidentally dodging into enemy fire. I guess coming from Bayonetta where you're invincible while you dodge, it was impossible to enjoy the dodging in this game.
Speaking of Bayonetta, Vanessa's movement really makes me think of her as a toned down version. Yeah, there's more emphasis on dance moves than sexiness, but I wouldn't be surprised if Kamiya took some inspiration from Vanessa.
Anyway, I beat the boss of the mission in 2 hits with the energy drive using the suit with better attack. Didn't think the thing was that powerful. I definitely like the shop and the ability to switch/upgrade suits, but I wish you couldn't get this broken so early in the game. Well, the missions themselves are still challenging, so I guess that's something.
I'll probably continue playing later tonight or tomorrow, but I already think of it as a very underrated game.
