Whats is supposed to be then? lol.
I just presumed it was supposed to be the moon and was a graphically glitch as it was placed over the castle in the background (rather than behind it on the horizon) and looked completely out of place
Killzone Mercenary, I feel, has something like OG Xbox-level assets with modern lighting and shaders doing a lot to make the game look great.

Thanks for the difficulty mode confirmation, guys!
Good breakdown. I inquired before, but if I'm starting the PS4 version tonight, fresh disc install and all, will I be good to play the game installing the currently-available patches too? Or should I just choose to install the base game without patches?

Yeea. The enemies in that area are some bs. Getting to him unscathed is a pita.
Exactly what I was thinking, the only solstice I can think of, plus, I got to Play around with Shang Tsung more right away, so all was not bad!
They're easy for me because I just spam Teps Oceus. This shit is fuckin' broken when you upgrade it even a little. I've used RT more than the Square button for the last half of this game, and I ain't kidding.
Doesn't work well on bosses because the multiple attacks barely fire in the same place though.
If you are starting patched up to 1.02 you should be fine, as far as we know.
The title screen or main menu has the ver number in the bottom corner so you can double check before starting.
Zangetsu was the worst to get his medal (getting no hit from him). His attacks are always easy to telegraph when you know what's coming... except it's not. Sometimes, he does an uppercut and drops down. Other times, he does an uppercut and immediately attacks with a downslash.
Sometimes, he do his dash and a quick attack. Sometimes he dont. Sometimes he uses his parry after the dash.
It's never fucking consistent.
The moon seems to be where it's supposed to be...
If you didn't watch the cutscene before the first boss fight, you'll see Gremory leave an image of a red moon behind after they teleport away with Gebel.
I don't agree with that. It's a lot harder than Symphony of the Night from Normal.
Fantastic. Thanks for confirmation!
Oh, for sure! I mean, maybe that second boss is an outlier but he was at least up there with that damnable crab from OoE.
IDK game felt like a snooze fest like SotN on normal to me.
60fps for the most part. I can't speak for what happens after the patch, but I've been playing pre-patch and have come across some framerate stutters here and there. Nothing game breaking though but they are inconsistent. Nothing that would make you think twice on picking it up. This is on Xbox, btw.
10-12 hours seems like the general agreement for beating the game.
I think it's all personal preference. During my playthrough I just stuck with whatever gave me the highest attack but end game, I started to mess with other weapons. I think you can really get OP to the point where you can equip a weapon that had lower attack and still kill easily.
In terms of Shards, I really like one where lightning rains down. Upgraded that to max and it's beautiful. I'll post the name when I get home.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but can't you use one of those names, get the item, save then rename your file to get the others?
Yea, it's in. I believe you press Left Trigger when you highlight your save file.

There's plenty of replay value. I've beaten it and have been grinding. This is still on Normal. I have Hard and Nightmare to look forward to. I can do NG+ or start fresh with a higher difficulty. Not to mention all the DLC coming. Beating the game is just the beginning!
Don't you have to craft the ingredients in order to make the Spaghetti? I don't think it's an actual drop. I can check when I get home if you're still stuck.
Yeah, found it a bit earlier, weird they don't tell you at all. Thanks though.
Grabbing things I missed before NG+ and breaking my character.
Wait, does anyone else have sound test on their main menu screen? I just saw someone else playing the steam version and they dont have it. It has all the music and voices for me.
It's weird someone streaming it started up on steam last night and there was no option there.
I'm looking forward to playing this eventually, but I think I'm going to hold off for now. I did receive my physical copy, but with the glitches and bugs I am still hearing about, I am hoping more patches will be put out to fix them.
And I'm not even talking about the chest bug, I know if you start it post-patch you should be ok. But it would just drive me nuts having periodic problems of the game crashing/freezing on me, as well as the other issues people have complained about. Hopefully they will get those ironed out.

Ugh, I started yesterday on PS4, v 1.01. Not that far, but far enough that I'm loathe to restart. I'd hate to fool myself into thinking I wasn't bitten by the bug, then progress up to the point where I was.
As much as it sucks, think I'll just rip the bandaid off and restart now. I'm irritated that I have to do this, though.

I was getting all sorts of weird loading hitches, performance issues, and such with the update, so I just uninstalled everything, reinstalled off of disc, updated to 1.02, started a new game, and now everything is smooth again so far. Patches/updates... what a double-edged sword it can be!
Bit the bullet and nuked my old save to start again on 1.02.
First book I opened crashed game (PS4 Pro)
Think I'll come back to this in a few months, what a waste of hype.

First book opening seems to do that for some reason. Had same thing on steam. Restarted and didnt happen again. I thought at the time it had to do with looking through the settings menus.
Was getting slightly bored with the weapons I had found so far, and then I just found the Flying Edge. I think I'm set until the end now, unless something more absurd comes along.
Seems like it so far, especially when you consider SoTN was $50 or $60 at release. Also, some people think the music isn't that good, but I think it's OK. Reminds me a bit of Xenoblade Chronicles, which was highly lauded for its music. I guess Castlevania fans just have higher expecations?

Little lost here, wondering if someone can give me some late game help.
I have the Invert ability now but I've been everywhere and can't find out where to go next, sitting at 75% map completion. On another note, where do I find curry sauce for the beef curry recipe?
I used my old save from patch 1.01 and overwritten it in a different save area on patch 1.02. There's still performance issues especially after dying. It seems like I'm waiting a minute+ just to get back to my last save each time.
Also notice some frame rate drops on water areas. I'm on a base PS4.
I'm 10 hours in and at 57% map discovered. A certain vampire stopped me for the longest time. I kept dying over and over.
This game is harder than SoTN on normal difficulty.

I can't even begin to stress how important it is to rank up shards / collect extras / and eat food on Nightmare. This shit is literally your only real way of having power growth.
That said Int is omega strong on nightmare for this very reason.
For context on second boss.
fireball was hitting for 26 x 4
vs 1 whip attack for 10

You need to stun lock the jelly fish with weak hits to hide behind the water spray * this attack is in hard right? *
It's the fight on nightmare but should still apply in general.
Didn't get the first book crash mentioned a few posts above.
As an aside, one small time-saving tip is that anywhere where the game pauses (like to introduce a new area, or when you get a HP/MP pickup, etc.), you can press the start button to immediate regain control of your character so that you don't have to wait for the animation to finish.
My favorite weapon is the one you get from the scissor dudes. It's a rare drop, but basically allows you to do rapid attacks without stopping Miriam in her tracks.

I really like the game, but the crashing is starting to get the better of me. During my last two hours of intense farming and crafting, the game has crashed 4 times. I think the game has crashed 20 times in total or something like that. The game is too good to put on hold because of the crashes, but I am a bit jealous of people who wait for some patches and can avoid this shit.
Same crash every time btw, the picture freezes and the music continues playing. Has mostly happened to me during frequent screen transitions and fast actions in the crafting menus.

Question: can I play the game with my 8bitdo M30 controller? The dpad can be remapped to any stick and there's enough buttons to cover all normal buttons except L3/R3. I'm waiting for my Switch digital copy. :(

10-12 is disappointing
So the soundtrack doesn't maintain the greatness of the first few parts of the game? I'm not too far yet but the tracks are killer. The Curse of the Moon soundtrack is so godlike, and since it was chiptune renditions of this game's soundtrack, I assumed this would be even better.
