I see gravity rush shilled on here a lot and they’re both 8 $ each on psn so I’m considering buying one.
I don’t really like anime though and fear it’s only talked about because it has a cute girl as your character. Is the actual game worth playing or is it just some weeb trash? Also if I only get one should I get 1 or 2?
It has some great art direction, ideas and music but try looking more into the gameplay and more to see if you want to get into it. It may not be that easy to get into it but the series is more than just anime stuff, since it was even inspired by french comics. 1 is a short game, so 2 feels like it's 1 but with a different plot and more content.
Adrian Sanders
part of the charm was playing the game on a mobile device. playing on the ps4 felt kinda wrong.

>Is the actual game worth playing No, it's really only talked about because it has a cute girl as your character

Bentley Baker
What race is she?
Blake Ross
I don't like anime either and I enjoyed the first one quite a bit, probably one of the more unique and creative PS games. Haven't played the second one.
Eli Gomez
>Is the actual game worth playing or is it just some weeb trash? the gravity powers are really fun to use in the game, especially in GR2 with the new abilities you get >Also if I only get one should I get 1 or 2? you won't get all the answers, if you only played 1
Kevin Peterson
>I don’t really like anime though and fear it’s only talked about because it has a cute girl as your character. Your fears are reality. I was tricked into playing the first game by all the shilling that was done by Katfags, the game is boring as fuck and I dropped it after 2 hours. Never listen to autistic fanbases that relentlessly shill a game to you, especially when most of the discussion of it on Yea Forums ends up being >Kat is cute! CUTE! It's not worth it.
Isaiah Phillips
A fictional one, maybe.
Bentley Cox
Gravity powers are fun, combat is tacked on.
Can get wonky with the camera sometimes but its overall a pretty solid expierence.
I'd say they're both worth about $25, so $8 is definately a bargain
Caleb Anderson
you will either love it or hate it user, some people couldn't git gud and blame the "clunky" controls.
Christian Wood
Someone post her nipples please.
Christopher Evans
There's also the Overture shorts which take place between the first and second games. The manga is a retelling of those shorts and the beginning of the second game but i don't know much about online scans, at least for the last chapters.
Luke Butler
Play the first one. It's a Vita upscale but the second one is by and large just a bigger, more polished version of the first. I liken Gravity Rush to Megaman Legends - it has charm out the ass but the gameplay is hit or miss depending on your sensibilities. I don't think anyone can realy fault its art and music direction but even if you don't get disoriented by the gravity mechanics you may feel disheartened at how unambitious their implementation generally is outside of challenge missions. As far as gameplay goes it mostly is a matter of enjoying yourself because the tools themselves are interesting, level and enemy design definitely could use some fine tuning. Personally I adore the series but I get why someone wouldn't feel it.
Brandon Johnson
FUCKING WHEN?
Ayden Clark
If anything Gr2 feels wrong cuz its not 60 fps like the first on ps4
Jason Cooper
It is good. People who complain about the combat are just doing the same attack over and over while ignoring everything. If you buy it, make sure to add in some slide kicks and projectiles to keep things fresh and make the most of the movement mechanics during fights. Playing the first game first makes sense unless you are planning to ignore the story.
It's not weeb trash but it is very anime you probably won't like it if you are so off put.
Jason Rodriguez
Get it, I only played Gravity Rush but the joy of learning how to move your character around has not been matched with any other game of this console gen.
spamming the same attack over and over is the most effective way to play the game and you are never encouraged to do anything else outside challenge stuff.
David Cox
The gameplay itself is pretty shit but I like the concept and it’s not bad enough to really sour your experience.
Andrew Reed
>I don’t really like anime though So? I hate anime with burning passion and I think both are amazing games. I played and platinued all 3 Gravity Rush games a and Gravity Rush 2 was my GOTY. Charming main character ≠ moeshit
Carter Clark
That's explained in the ending of Gravity Rush 2.
Easton Gutierrez
Better question
Are we gonna get a Gravity Rush 3 for PS5?
I know some people claim it bombed but it sold around 300k-500k, decent for a niche game.
>you are never encouraged to do anything else Doing other things makes the combat fun and that is enough encouragement for me. It isn't a race, so it is ok to take a bit longer if it means enjoying the game.
Depends on whether or not the PS5 is good enough for it and Toyama's interest.
Liam Scott
It's like a Japanese take on the inFamous/Crackdown/Prototype formula. If you like open-world superhero games you'll enjoy it.
Toyama said he wasn't really interested in a GR3 anytime soon before GR2 hit. He was working on a new action-adventure IP, but recently made it sound like it got cancelled and he was hinting at a return to Siren.
Aiden Gutierrez
>spamming the same attack over and over is the most effective way to play the game
Not really, sometimes is more effective to launch objects or changing to jupiter/lunar style for certain enemies
That's like saying that you can defeat any enemy on Zelda with the same attack but not using your bow or bombs
Jonathan Baker
What do you want in GR3?
Noah Nguyen
Played through the original Gravity Rush for the first time last year, It was fairly good overall, but combat leaves something to be desired.
Lincoln Torres
Get 1, if you like it buy 2 as well.
It's not really weeb trash but the reason you see threads are because of autistic weebs who like the game. It's very N64/PS2 in it's soul and gameplay.
Isaiah Hernandez
They can be worth it, but if you go in expecting incredible gameplay or something you'll likely be disappointed.
The gravity manipulation can be a blast, and just moving around the city and using your abilities was something I found fun, but for how much combat you end up doing, it leaves a lot to be desired; especially in the first game. Personally, really enjoy the music and atmosphere as well. Of course, your mileage may vary.
At $8 each, I'd say they're absolutely worth it, but if you're worried about dropping $16, I'd say grab the original, since the games have a narrative, and if you end up enjoying that after a couple hours, you'll almost certainly also enjoy the second, since it improves upon most things.
I disagree. While it was certainly cool to have a fully open world game like that on a handheld, the game itself wasn't really designed in such a way that there was anything different about it relative to other similar games on home consoles. The game lost nothing on the move to home consoles and gained a fuckton.
I certainly appreciated the portability mind you, much like I did with Breath of the Wild. But that's purely because I enjoy playing things portable.
Joshua Jones
The IP to be transferred to Nintendo so it isn't shit
Cooper Miller
They didn't even revived F-Zero.
Eli Price
why do people shill these games as good, they are fucking horrible. it's just like people shilling Ico, Shadow of Collosus, etc terrible games that only reddit likes and tricked retards who are not man enough to admit they got scammed
Jason Bailey
This criticism applies to literally every single open world game ever made.
GTA, Watch Dogs, Spiderman, Just Cause all have very simplistic combat relative to their equivalents in non-open world game where just doing the most retarded thing will get you through most missions. The idea is that you're meant to experiment with the mechanics given to you however you want within the requirements of a mission. That's THE FUCKING POINT.
Oliver Gray
If this shit release on a Nintendo platform it would get way more attention and sales

>World so open it gets scary >Great designs for female characters - even more amazingly not even sexualized >Awesome mechanics to play around >30 hours content minimum >Art direction is beautiful
It's really a hidden gem. Is it the greatest game in the world? No, but it's definitely left itself a top 10 for me.
Christopher Turner
>What race is she? Delicious brown.
Colton Miller
You can do that in pretty much every game made but people still call FF such a great fucking series despite it only being heal>weakness auto shit for an hour with every goddamn iteration.
Anyways, play the game in a more interesting way and you'll get something more interesting out of it.
Adrian Howard

Carter Mitchell
Californian surfer race.
>blonde >tan >eyes red from smoking the weed bro 420 blaze it
That's exactly it. Fictional human race. We see this a lot in fantasy where you get offshoots of humans who don't exactly line up with real world equivalents like dark skinned, white haired, blue eyed people etc.
I remember in Beyond Good and Evil Yoa is blue skinned but listed as a race of human.
Levi Davis
You shouldn't get either until you grow out of your edgy teenage years. It's also beyond retarded to not get both at that price, considering GR2 has some substantial gameplay/visual improvements but the story won't make sense without playing the first, neither will the remade city awe you. And you shouldn't play this series if you don't have a care in the world about its story/characters and only want gameplay.
It's a sum-of-its-parts kind of deal. No individual element stands out, you either like the whole package or you don't, the mix of comfyness, weird world, mediocre mission design, lovely OST, awkward combat/navigation, charming interactions, etc. Although it's beyond obvious you won't like it since you unironically use the word Weeb, think DarkSouls is a Western RPG and probably also say "anime fighters" while putting SF and Tekken in a different pot.
Don’t fucking bother with the second one. I loved the first gravity rush but the second ones plot felt like some anime bullshit.
John Walker
To be fair, there is a functional difference between "anime fighters" and SF and Tekken, though I agree the term itself is retarded. I prefer the term "Airdashers" since it signifies a common and characterizing mechanic in those games not present in games like SF and Tekken.
I don't understand why sales numbers are the first factor anyone thinks of when talking about the possibility of GR3 being a thing.
Profit is like the 5th priority for this franchise, its studio and Director. PS5 having a new gimmick would be 10x more relevant to his interests, for example, between many other things like not developing the same thing again over a relatively short period of time. Both games sold very well for their size, not that would matter much in a project like this - it's more of a passion project over anything else and it's not like his other games sold any better on average.
Yeah I'm aware of its main purpose, although some people are SO stupid they actually use the term literally depending on artstyle (such as on the new Granblue game - despite not being an airdasher). Just as some other retards would say Persona5 is "way more weeb" than Yakuza because it has a certain artstyle. I could also have used the other bait example of jap VS western mech design, I guess.
The only thing I don't really like so much is that the setting is like this psychedelic, Victorian, Mars-atmosphere-like place where the weather is green and kinda depressing.
I've seen pics of the main character and I thought she was cute, but never really delved into what the game actually was. Then I saw the Japanese trailer for it and liked what I saw youtube.com/watch?v=0INIMjvtCL4
I was hoping it'd be more like sunny Japanese cities that you were flying around in. More blue skies and all that. Not greens and grays and oranges and yellows.
What % of time is spent in blue sky-like areas like that? Almost everything I see oh the game it's green or some other color that's not blue.
Christian Sullivan
did you actually looked at the game?
David Gray
The second game is more like that, the city of Jirga Para Lhao is in a different universe to the first game, it's a lot more sunny and colorful there.
The director definitely wanted more of a horror atmosphere for the first one given his background. The world of GR1 is pretty unforgiving and bleak compared with 2, which feels more wondrous and hopeful. Maybe that was a conscious decision by Toriyama because they wanted it to have a broader appeal for PS4 users, so they made it cuter and brighter.
Most of the game is spent there, it's only in 3rd act that you return to Hekseville but they made it noticeably warmer looking and comfier than in the first game imo.
youtube.com/watch?v=ebEUA9Cz7-o GR2 has a brand new city that you start in: Jirga Para Lhao and the biggest region is Lei Colmosna which has blue skies and a upbeat theme. But it also has a poor, depressing lower region. You also return to Heckseville in the second act of the game.
but like user said: the games have a Moebius influence so they have a mix of bright and happy elements with some darker and surreal elements as well
I haven't played the game myself. I'm interested in the style of the characters and the whole no-gravity gameplay. But again, what really caught my attention was the GR2 Jap trailer with japanese girls falling through the sky in a clear, blue, sunny day weather city, and I liked that theoretical aspect.
Last gen's obsession with grimdark brown really turned me the fuck off.
Joshua Phillips
Excellent AA game if you’re willing to put up with occasional jank. Presentation is great overall and flying around is super fun. Girl is cute but I’md love this game if you played as a featureless box.
Kevin Mitchell
It's very N64/PS2 in it's soul and gameplay.
This is extremely accurate
Zachary Davis
>The director definitely wanted more of a horror atmosphere for the first one given his background. I think if I were to know that going into it, I'd be more forgiving of it. But the commercial for GR2 made [the second game] seem like it was a kawaii slice-of-life animu girls flying around having a blast.
Christopher Parker
The general art-direction and aesthetic of the game is like a combination of Moebius and Studio Ghibli.
Kevin Allen
Which one is the futa?
Jeremiah Taylor
Gravity Rush games have a great color pallette, 2 especially. The city of Jirga is very vibrant and detailed, the mining sites you visit in missions are all different colors, Hekseville is more vibrant too compared to how brown it is in 1, colors are much richer.
The second game does that kind of thing more, they even made the art style slightly softer and more anime looking, the first game felt closer to a franco-belgian comic. I played 2 first though, then went back to 1. I enjoyed both and like the world and characters but I'd say the 2nd game has more to offer in terms of content and kawaii slice of life antics.
Despite being a Japanese game, I get more of a European comic vibe from it than anime. Wouldn't seem out of place as a French comic.
And it's just fun to fly around and do races while sliding around like a madman. It's just a shame they took the servers down on the second game so you can't challenge friends to time trials anymore.
im still mad because i had everything unlocked and then my ps4 hard drive failed and i had to reformat it and for whatever reason it wasnt saving everything to the cloud so all the work from those treasure hunts is gone
Don't bother. I remember when the threads always lapped up GR as the best game on the Vita and I'm like well, I guess it's gotta be good. THen the ps4 port came out and I bought it and man was it terrible. It's a pretty shitty action game and using gravity gets old after like 30 minutes. Not to mention the threads about GR rarely ever talk about the game or how it plays and are only filled with waifufags talking about how they would fuck that hobo.
Reminder that Kat is literally a smelly hobo who eats greasy low-quality street vendor food
Connor Myers
Why buy when you can download it for free and copy it to the PS4?
Michael Thomas
I want to buy it, but I'm hesitant to use credit card on PSN. It seemed like it was pretty much hacked for the entirety of the PS3 so I never felt safe buying anything directly from the store. And I don't want to spend $20 to buy a card for a game that's only $12 on sale. wat do? Is credit card info still an issue, or has Sony fort knox'd their online security at this point?
Aaron Ross
Street food can be amazing if you know the right places, user.
There's a Vietnamese couple down the road from my work who run a food van that do these amazing barbecued pork kebabs.
>2B outfit in GR >nothing GR related in Automata would have been cute if Dusty was somewhere on the map and did something similar to the cats from MGR if you tried to attack it
I played the first one years ago and enjoyed it then forgot about this series completely. Is it worth getting the second one if I liked the first? Also I don’t remember much from the story would I have to replay the first one?
Liam Price
please don't remind me of that, I hate what MH has become. GR threads are a happy place
The second game is improved in nearly every way gameplay wise. Main thing that rubs nearly everyone the wrong way are the stealth sections, but they're uncooked to a point where once you understand how detection works, you can cheese them pretty easily
Damn I’ve been missing out then. Judging from this thread seems like a universal agreement if you liked the first you will like the second one and Yea Forums never agrees on anything.
Syd is massively underrated. He's the one who made Kat strong enough to save the world in the end. You could tell her really loved her, Kat and Raven are like super close but I feel like Syd gets shafted because people don't realise how much shit he was doing behind the scenes to help Kat.
Kat has a unique figure desu, she's not super thicc but she's got nice legs and a shapely butt. The blonde+tan thing works really well too with the black and gold outfit, just a great design imo. She really stands out.
>Excellent AA game if you’re willing to put up with occasional jank >It's like a Japanese take on the inFamous/Crackdown/Prototype formula. If you like open-world superhero games you'll enjoy it. >It's very N64/PS2 in it's soul and gameplay. this is actually convincing me a bit think I'll go for the 1st one
Aiden Smith
The fighting and the monsters are fucking TRASH in gr1. I didn't play the second one.
Charles Johnson
It visuals and content are pretty fucking good for something that isn't AAA, it was definitely a passion project.
Sadly this, the stupid fools defending the repetitive fights and telling you that you need to use more varied attacks to make things less boring are the worst.
With or without spamming in the end you're still fighting harmless blob and you can kill anything by pressing the same button. No, it's not a good game design.
Brody Gonzalez
The combat always was the weak point of the series, the traversal mechanics and exploration make up for it imo. But if they ever make a GR3 I hope they give the combat system an overhaul, give it some kind of combo system or make it flashy like Bayo or DMC.
What was even funnier, that she was hesitating for a couple of seconds before refusing
Jason Perry
The combat can be shit but at least make interesting opponents to fight. It's laughably bad from what I remember, they were all black slime mass with red orbes to shot at.

I've been intrigued by this game for a while, because of the qts. But the last time I bought a game with my dick it ended badly. I'm so torn. And no on really talks about the gameplay in GR threads they usually just post kat, not that I can really complain about that.
I don't buy games solely for waifus so I can tell you the world and characters are great, especially in 2, everyone feels super fleshed out and isn't just some black and white caricature like a lot of games. Side quests have fun interactions too and the photo mode/challenges are fun to do. Honestly there's more to the game than just Kat, though she is a big draw for being such a likeable and well written protagonist, but then so is everybody else in the games.
GR 1 is good, 2 is okay but the first hour really holds it back
Cameron Lopez
A significant focus of the game is dressing her up in suggestive outfits and taking pictures of herself in them for old men. I'm actually not joking. She's probably naive more than she is lewd, but still.
Oliver Reed
>impale scene in GR2 first credits with blood and stuff >Kali boss fight >city council threatened to rape Cecie >dozens dead/lost in storm orphans in OVA >crystallized twins who was brainwashed into assassins. Probably they died before/during experiment and it's just their programmed/corrupted bodies >mind controlled Raven, who probably was molested during it >she probably worked as strip dancer or something like that in Pleajeune before meeting Kat. You can found posters with her in GR2 >whole last boss >girl was crushed by street TV
Gravity Rush always had dark/depressing undertones. Kat lives in a shitty world, everyone in Hekseville treated her like shit when she arrived, they only finally appreciate her fully at the end of GR2. Despite all of that, it's still a pretty uplifting story, but there's some dark shit there for sure, you can tell it was made by the director of Silent Hill.
Part of why I enjoy Akira so much. I don't like a lot of body horror. The real shit tends to fuck me up, but masterfully animated like that, and i can't help but adore it. Also got to see it in a theater at a convention a few years ago. Was really happy about that, even if i couldn't stay for the entire thing
I have the second one physical and played it a bit I plan to play it more once I clear some of my back log of games. Growing up sucks I can't play games nearly as much as I used to
If IF GR3 happen, be ready for sunbeams and black screens
Anthony Lewis
She supposed to survive in early script and later be redeemed, but they scrapped that idea
Benjamin Brooks
Yeah Kali got a rough deal, but I'm glad at least Cecie got a happy ending since I'd grown attached to her across the story. Kali was too far gone at that point sadly.
No, they suck. Do not fall for the sale trap. The gravity shifting mechanic is wasted on shitloads of side fetch-quests and wandering around doing stupid bullshit.
Just fap to Kat porn and then play a good game.
Tyler Cox
>that fanfic where Kat was the one who's been mind controlled and Raven fought with her and later accidentally hit Kat too hard and killed her
The variety of the sidequest, even in the mundane, is part of the charm. Shes like a super hero. Of course shes gonna go and help a dog find its toy. Or take pictures for a journalist trying to get the next big scoop. Or figure out "who dun it." They may not all be mechanically interesting, but the side quest add a nice bit of variety and give nice little side stories to flesh out the world.
>Also if council was willing to rape kid, w-when did this happen I can't recall it
Christopher Brown

>Kat will never be a Nintendo All Star Why even live?
Carson Wood
First game was really good game, but it's more of a niche game like what sce usually produces. My favorite game on vita probably. Second one had some really shitty intro/tutorial levels: yeah, having no power in the beginning, mining crystals, finding those dumb ducks, passing through those retarded easy trials, it's just the worst. It's certainly is for fans of the first game, because the lisa part feels like some kind of anime filler or sidequests, not something important
Anthony Butler
well they do have Joker as DLC for Ultimate maybe Kat has a chance...
Me neither, I'm just saying that Sony would rather they kill Kat than to let Nintendo use her. They didn't, but they'd rather do it.
Alexander Smith
Gr is sce's franchise, i really doubt it's gonna get into nintendo's hands and i really doubt that it's gonna get 3rd, i mean servers for the second game were closed after a year.
We'll see what happens next gen. The director stated he didn't want to return to GR until there was new hardware to work with, but if its new years interview was to go by anything, we're more than likely going to see a Siren as a PS5 title first
