I've played demos that had more content and were longer. Also ONE boss LOL

There were more bosses though

Platinum Games has fallen far from the times when their games were an instabuy, but they still have some gems. Honestly, even though Vanquish is short as hell and it would make MGS go "okay bud, you're being a bit too campy there", I respect the hell out of it for mixing genres and introducing stylish action to the staling cover-based TPS. Wish Platinum would do more genre explorations like this, actually.

Also the weapon transformation animations were orgasmic.

Platinum just knows how to make games. I was really looking forward to scale bound too just to see what they'd pull off. What other genres would you like to see from them?

This game

I've been playing it like an autist for the past few months so I can beat god hard and challenge 6, and I've noticed that there's so many animations on that suit. Watching it expel steam is just sexy

Bump

I had trouble with 6 at the bogeys until i turned the audio back on and dodged with the audio cues for their attacks
The game is really well designed in terms of telegraphing everything
Fuck those drillbots though

i recently finished vanquish in like 6 to 7 hours and to be honest it kind of was a little disappointing.

as an outsider of platinum games and hearing that there games are good i finally tried one and vanquish was pretty fun, but by the end i felt confused by that ending.

because it came out of nowhere for me and i thought there was gonna be more story to keep playing.

I prefer Metal Gear Rising

Bayonetta is my favorite. Dodge offset is an amazing mechanic.

The funny thing is that I can beat the double bogeys no problem on hard, so I'm confident with my skills with the game, but challenge 6 is something else. I just need to optimise my weapon choices each wave. I can get to wave 3 pretty reliably, but that's where I die usually. drill bots are big bois always gunning for my ass.

Can anyone explain me why PG kept making those shitty licensed games? I mean they made MGR and it was well recieved. What happened to them then?

>confused by that ending
>more story
arcade action gameplay is what Vanquish does well user
nothing wrong with this opinion

Platinum games are all about the mechanics. You can play them for a long time getting better and better because the mechanics let you do badass stuff. If you're still interested in the game, check out some style mads

Elena is cute and should return.

smart dogposter

DARPA a cute! CUTE!

so, they planned a sequel didn't they? it ended on a pretty big cliffhanger.

There best game, then it went downhill

Vanquish still holds up to this day. The game may be short, but the gameplay is top notch which is something you can't attribute to many AAA games these days.

If I recall correctly, I think it had to do with them losing SEGA as their publisher after anarchy reigns didn't do well, so they had to do some licensed work just to keep afloat. They were close to bankruptcy and shutting down during this period too.

Sadly, its something studios some times have to do if they want to survive. I'm willing to bet that Platinum games would rather do something original, but the gaming market has become quite brutal. Long gone are the days when games cost a small scale budget, now some studios are dependent on continuous success to survive.
