God Hand

Daltheb · 10-20-2006, 05:44 PM

Anyone gotten this game? I bought it and I'm loving it. It can get very difficult, and especially when you unlock hard mode...I doubt many will even able to advance past the first stage (lol). This is because the game's difficulty scales as you play, the better you do it advances up a scale (from Lvl 1, 2, 3, to DIE). At DIE you can literally die in like two hits. So as you play, you'll either level up or down depending on if you're kicking ass or getting your ass kicked, and on Hard mode it's locked at Lvl DIE.

That aside, it's hilarious at times and the fighting system is great. There's over a hundred different techniques you can buy/find, along with a couple dozen different God Reel special moves that have to be activated with special animations.

For those that DO have it, what combos do you like to use and did you find any especially good ways to make money? If there's one major gripe, its that there's little chance of the player ever making enough money for buying his moves from just playing the game, so he pretty much HAS to play either the casino or chihuahua races (though nowhere near as sweet as Chocobo racing was =P).

What's this game about? Does it have any reference to the berserk manga?

They need to make a diablo style game for Berserk =\ If they haven't already!

Hahah, actually now that you mention it, even one of my friends noticed the correlation, but this game has nothing to do with Berserk. Short story is God Hand simply refers to his arm being imbued with the power of a God, though the last reason you wanna play this game is for its story. This game is rated Mature and for good reason, at one point you see his normal arm get whacked off (though it really wasn't that graphic), and you can imagine what replaced it.

On the topic of a Berserk video game, there was one made for the PS2, though all I know about it is limited to this trailer. I'm assuming it was never made for the US, which is a damn shame. You could always import and play it on a modded PS2, though not being able to speak Japanese would prove a major handicap. -_-

Damnit that looks great.

Holy god, why hasn't this been released over here? Pure awesome.

I think that Berzerk video game is not too hot... it's one of these average but pleasant productions, like Blood Will Tell. Blood Will Tell works mainly because of its brilliant story though, can it be the same with Berzerk? Let's say it has potential.

Berserk for the PS2 was decent. It was better than the Dreamcast abomination but it wasn't great or anything. It was just another extremely repetetive action game with nothing that made it stand out. The excessive blood and kill animations were quite entertaining though.

heh that looked sweet.

Guts is the ultimate example of what a warrior should be in a video game.
