Of course this had to be my first GC mastery - this game is simply masterful.
Never had played the GC version before, quite jarring how it plays and looks leagues better than the PS2 version.
I still haven't found a single game that doesn't go as hard as this one in pretty much any sense of the word, I really don't understand how this can be such a niche game, it's so good!
Couple tips: always upgrade Dan to the max ASAP, that critical lock-on (specially on Killer8) makes the game way easier, and maxed out Dan has the ability to kill some specific smiles with his Collateral Shot, further making your experience easier.
Killer8 is a lot more about patience and abusing the hell out of Harman (until you fully upgrade Dan) than anything else.
Both Ayame Blackburn cheevos are way easier to do if you upgrade all of Mask's skills at least to level 3.
You can upgrade Kaede instead of Dan if you want to get critical lock-on faster, since she gets it at all skills level 4 instead of 5, but you'll lose the extra power Dan gets as I mentioned above, since you can't replay missions for more blood once you hit the blood limit on each mission.
All in, all out, it's still a very, very amazing game that I feel like everyone should give at least one chance, definitely part of my top 3 of all time.
Both times I've tried I get overwhelmed before I can figure out the gameplay loop
I gotta admit, the game isn't really very intuitive and can take a while until you get used to it. I remember my first playthrough back in 2014 taking over 30 hours to finish, even with a guide, because I simply couldn't get a grasp of the gameplay loop, but once you get it, it's like riding a bike. Oh, one thing I forgot to mention, early on the best thing you can do is level Dan to level 2 on everything, so you can get the counter-attack upgrade - which basically makes you invincible, all you have to do is let them attack you, once they do, there will be a lightning-style flash on your screen - just hit Y during the effect and you'll instantly kill whatever was trying to attack you with a cool cutscenes on top - but beware, not every enemy can be countered, but when those start showing up, you'll probably be comfortable and powerful enough to deal with them without much trouble.
"Skip EFB Access from CPU" need to be UNCHECKED for this game.
I will say I wasn't expecting a political thriller as the core story for a GameCube title in 2005. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride and I was blown away by the twists with the major reveals along the way. I enjoy that the supporting cast is just as crazy as the main cast which I guess makes sense in a post-apocalyptical setting where shooting missiles at other countries is a sign of world peace in that game. I do love the interpretations I came out with alongside what others have stated in the past as I was post-game binging consumption analysis videos when I beat the game for the first time.
This is my first suda51 game I've played so I'm actually excited to see what his other titles have in store. Consider me a fan so I definitely will love to check out his other works, especially the No More Heroes series!
