Someone mentioned they saw/heard the slowed down text at the end. Can someone be so kind as to post/link to where I can see/hear it?
goldenticket said:hey im looking for general tips for bitter mode. like i died getting to the rank 7 fight. that one room that starts with 2 guys with guns messed me up. i didnt have enough power when i got to the room towards the end of it with 3 guys with light sabers. so some helpful hints/strategies for bitter mode would be nice

John Harker said:Did you listen to all the voice mails from"the assoication?" that was what sounded like Henry's voice.... and even more so in the final message, which dropped the hiding of the irish accent when he said 'have a nice journey' or something along those lines, very much with the full accent revealed. Who else could it have been? The assoication was a con. The narrative went out of the way to have one of Sylvia's "other men" speak at one point, and it was certainly not the same guy.
robot said:So this game motivated me to get my wii off of my 42" LCD (Rear Projection) and onto my 32" CRT TV. I've noticed while my LCD does an amazing job with 1080i and 720p, it just looks like ass in 480p. So anyways, the game looks like 100x better in 480p on my CRT set. A little on the jaggy side, but great nonetheless.
Great game so far - the map is a little too big for it's own good and somewhat pointless, but the combat is just too damn awesome. I love the whole style of the game too. Oh and tshirt #81 kicks ass.
I just got up to Destroyman, and for some reason - his crotch beam made my game freeze.
You're the second person I've seen to mention something like that. I never had such problems, though.AceBandage said:Yeah, the awesomeness of that move will do that sometimes.
Also, I have a question:
Is it normal, for during the Rank 1 match, for the "The Wii Remote's battery is low. Please replace it." to pop up?
I ask this, because my battery indicator was full, so I thought maybe it was a psych out thing (similar to the FISSION MAILED scene in MGS2).

Nicktals said:I had an issue like that too. Are you using a battery pack? (as opposed to batteries or rechargeable batteries). I thought it might have something to do with that, as I use one.
AceBandage said:Nope, normal AAs.
Sallokin said:I loved the twist at the fifth ranked fight. I was stumped as to how I was going to fight that guy and his huge machine but then the game just went ahead and got MORE awesome.

AceBandage said:Actually, I'm hoping the sequel has nothing to do with this game besides starring Travis.
Just to screw with us even more.

Yup,sonicspear64 said:For the cards, what's the exact number?150ish?
I did. It's reaching, but I just wanted to mention it because it was the only "connection" that came to my mind.Alts said:As of yet, it is unsolved. Someone made a lengthy post about a Beethoven song with the word Jupiter in the title that plays in a scene in Killer 7, but that is reaching a bit much.
Alts said:We've been doing well so far for spoilers, even the most obscure of things. Can we keep it that way, please?
Anyway, this is more for John Harker than anyone else, but...
assassins that explicitly mention:assassins and ranking
Rank 8
Rank 7
Rank 6
baphometbones said:After trying to resist, I broke down and bought this last night. I previously held off since funds are low, I have a huge backlog, and it seems to be a love/hate game but after playing it for two hours I'm pretty happy with that decision. This game is pure insanity on a level I haven't experienced since Katamari Damacy. After debating on which difficulty level to start on, I went with Mild and played to the point where I unlocked the 9th ranked mission. So far, it's been pretty manageable but after glancing through this thread and seeing people apparently struggling with some of the bosses was this a mistake? I was worried Sweet would just be too easy, and I don't really want to start over at this point (I've already been kicking the hell out of some dumpsters and collecting lots of Lolikov Balls) but to any of you that have already beat it, what would you recommend for a first time playthrough?
Mild is definitely ok. Most people have problems with the #8 rank fight because it's the first boss that heavily requires that you dodge and don't simply button mash during the fight. Master the slow-mo circle strafe with the analog stick and you'll be alright.baphometbones said:After trying to resist, I broke down and bought this last night.

supercake said:Depends on good you are on action games, and what you want out of NMH. Once I got the counterattacking move down, the game became very manageable. (Hold left or right while you block, and when time slows down, thats a counterattack, attack then. There's better explanations out there, but make sure you have this down.)
Certain bosses were difficult for me on mild, but I didn't have the counterattack down yet. It really depends on how good you are. If you suck at action, just play it on sweet, there's no reason to punish yourself.

I played first on Mild, then I unlocked everything on Bitter. I'm playing on Sweet now just to see the differences and it's really, really easy.
Have fun! This game rocks in many different ways.
By dodgind I meant the circle strafe. Should have phrased it differently.John Harker said:Disagree.
If by 'dodging' you mean using the roll dodge, then this is what actually makes the fight harder. Hell, I listened to GAF on that and it took me FOREVER to beat her!
It's much easier if you avoid the pillars entirely and circle strafe. Now thaaaat is the key to taking down the hardest bitch in videogames.
The directional dodge roll is also useful on occasion, though. I did use it to escape from some of Shinobu's sonic swords.Alaluef said:Master the slow-mo circle strafe with the analog stick and you'll be alright.

For the love of god, someone please help with advice for this stupid thing.
goldenticket said:i had a problem with it because i got the message about jumping in a different spot then where i should have been doing it. jump over thelittle gate thing, its like a post that raises and lowers to stop cars. dont try to jump over the fence (like i tried to for a while). after you jump it you just ride around to stadium to the spot
On bitter, the bitch doesn't take circle strafing dodges up the ass like she does on Sweet and Mild.John Harker said:Disagree.

sonicspear64 said:On bitter, the bitch doesn't take circle strafing dodges up the ass like she does on Sweet and Mild.During the beginning, you could probably get a couple hits if you circle strafe, but she starts dodging as soon as you get the strafe later in the fight. Then she only lets you get one hit at a time if you hit her while in a combo. Lost 2 times against her so I resorted to using the low charge combo for Tsubaki Mk-III when she was at 25% or so.
John Harker said:Well them mentioning beingassassins doesn't particularly matter too much because it makes sense SOME of these killers would be. I recall Shinobu mentioning a rankings fight, but she's young and shows up at the end, and as I said, it makes sense she could also have been duped in Sylvia. Can you refresh my memory the context of 7th and 6th mention rankings/numbers? I've only played through once so far, so I don't explicitly recall. Thanks for looking back though
Did you save over your original save file?Dartastic said:ACK! I think I just botchedthe real ending. I sat on the toilet, watched the "ending", then let the credits go. I started a new game on a slightly harder difficulty, and I've gone back to the bathroom after becoming rank 10, but I can't select the real ending! Help!
ninj4junpei said:Did you save over your original save file?
Pull up the menu and there is a load option under Data.Dartastic said:No, I didn't, for that exact reason. I however, don't know HOW to load my original file. Gah!
ninj4junpei said:Pull up the menu and there is a load option under Data.
You're welcome. I had the same exact situation as you did, actually.Dartastic said:Oh, thank you SO MUCH. :lol
Yeah, that sucked quite a bit. I gotta say though, the final bit was WAY more satisfying. The ending was... awesome. Bring on NMH2, with a better city and better bike handling!ninj4junpei said:You're welcome. I had the same exact situation as you did, actually.
