Gaim is my highest at 17:laugh:

I'm pretty glad that you're not forced to level everyone up again to use their forms except for Gaim

Beat the game recently. Honestly, I loved the final mission and the cutscenes were great. The storytelling was better than in the first game. I feel like if they took two years to improve/add things to a sequel instead of one, we would have had a pretty fantastic sequel. As it is now... I had fun, but it felt more like an extension. The Survival mode is way more worth it than Rider Road though, since you can only unlock figures that way.

i also beaten the game yesterday, funny how Final Survival can be unlocked and beaten 3/4 way into the game instead of having to finish Chronicle mode first like in BW1, and it's actually easier to beat it early since you will have less hard stages popping up in the pool

Rider Road offers bigger benefit in the long run since you can max out all of your stats without figure help, but it's a tedious and very slow process as opposed to the BW2 figure system

Surivival are much more fun that Rider Road because it shuffles random stages instead of a predetermined stage like Rider Road

You can get dupe figures?! That sucks...

this is not new, you also get dupes in BW1 too

the odd thing is Figure prices are extremely low in BW2, even with the upgrade system you will still have tons of money left after you buy everything, it was a bit more challenging to buy off figures in BW1, especially that 900.000 Decade figure, i have 1,5 million useless points in BW2 because of this

my lowest is Zangetsu Shin at 12

highest is Faiz and Birth at 99, Final Survival levels gives some really serious EXP's, you can co from 40 to 96 just by finishing 1~2 courses

BW2 is very generous with the EXP's, everyone seems to level up very fast , in BW1 i only managed to get Accel to level 96 before i quit playing whereas the other riders are still around lv 20-30(already platinum'ed it)

i guess this is mostly because almost everyone's forms and moves have been unlocked for you at lv1, allowing you to tackle higher difficulties immediately, hence, faster EXP's, i played the whole BW2 Chronicle mode in Hard from the get go and it's still very manageable.

__________________________________________________________

also, if you want to speak your minds to Eighting/Bamco, here's a poll for BW2

http://enq.bandainamcoid.com/pc/enq.php?id=battride

it's 43 questions long, you need the passcode on the back of the BW2 game manual, a JP Bamco ID(other regions will notbe able to access the poll), and you will get an exclusive BW2 wallpaper as a reward for completing the poll

the questions are usually multiple choices, all of them are easy to understand(at least for me), and you'll get to complain about what need to be fixed/which rider should be added(also, do check "100%" for "how sure are you to buy the next BW game?, so that they will still continue releasing it :castlerock: , also, please hate the DLC, i know it's free, but if we clicked "like" they might make the next BW DLC a paid one! :170

i've already done mine, how about you? :castlerock:

We should all complain about the fact that they keep putting the TV show themesong in the more expensive versions of the game.

The bike controls could definietly use some improvement.

Also how exactly does Burnning Form work? I get the impression that it just automatically activates after awhile.

you can do that by picking "not interested/not good" in the question regarding premium TV edition, the game already had custom soundtrack anyways, oh and also comment that the music is not good(the default music for the game, seriously, it's awful, CH is way better even without custom BGM)

Burning form works just like Faiz Axel, Accel Booster, and Hibiki Kurenai, you need to defeat a lot of enemies before it shows up on the form selection, and just like Faiz Axel, Burning form's charged attacks is 3 times faster than Agito Ground Form, so there's no reason to not charge your punches while in burning form.

man, i wish Burning Form was also an ultimate form, slow motion+charged punches=quick dead bosses, Shining Form kinda sucked against bosses in Final Survival, not enough power IMO

If anyone is going to complain, please state this
- W sucks balls. They should just bring his old form change system from Climax Heroes. It was good enough.
- A lot of characters could use some chain combos.
- Power-Up system sucks balls. It's not bad, that superforms are time-uped, but "transform+finisher" system is a bullshit. Player should decide, if he wants to do finisher or not. In kamen Rider, you usually go to final form, fight and THEN do a finisher.
- They should look at Gundam DynastyWarriors ad finally make everyone playable. Secoтdary Riders and Villains.
- It's about time, they start to make major improvments to old characters, along with adding new stuff.

I'm curious to see how they incorporate Kamen Rider Drive into the next game. But I will say if the secondaries aren't playable in the next game I may just pass. BW2 in my opinion was barely a new game. I find myself loosing interest because at times it feels like im still playing BW1.

If we get a Battride 3, there is a few things i'd love to see as well (Besides multiplayer and Secondary Rider).

1. The final battle in Battride 2 was way too anticlimactic (Besides the ending). It was nice jumping the platforms and fighting final form riders and Bujin Gaim, but i wanted more. Not only did i wish we fought more riders and the film guy, they should have thrown in King Dark as well to make it more challenging. I mean really, one battle ?! And you don't even fight him as a giant ?! I'm sorry, but all the commercials and the trailers overhyped King Dark's appearance as a big deal. Long story short, more challenges for story mode.

2. I loved the way they had the figures in the previous game (Where you can buy them while in story mode). I can see where they were going with this, especially since having a figure during story mode does make it easier, but they could have a sort of extra challenge like added damage or an extra boss to fight for it. Also, love the leveling up figure feature in this game; however once i beat story mode, kinda have no incentive to to play the game just to get all the figures (Unless they have unlimited special meter as the "final unlock". Which brings me to number 3 .).

3. Bring back the unlimited special figure. I mean seriously, can't stand having a time limit on final forms. Yes it may have been a cheesy figure, but they made you work for it. Not only did you have to get a crap load of point to purchase it, you also had to be an S ranked figure. It made you want to play the game more so you can have more fun playing as the final forms. I'm telling you, when i got that figure, I made sure I leveled all my characters to at least 40 in order to use it.

4. The engine needs to be cleaned up for not only load times, but gameplay as well. If this game is suppose to be Eighting's answer to Dynasty Warriors, it needs to run smoothly. It's annoying when you are attacking/being attack and all of a sudden there is a 1-2 second pause. It shouldn't happen for these kinda games (Especially if it is installing data and has a long of a loading time.). I know i'm not a programer and it's probably easier said than done because of hardware limitations, but there needs to be some kind of work around. Honestly, if this continues, there will be no hope for multiplayer (Especially since this game has a problem running single player as it is.).

Well, there's my 2 cents.

The final battle in Battride 2 was way too anticlimactic (Besides the ending). It was nice jumping the platforms and fighting final form riders and Bujin Gaim, but i wanted more.

story wise it's better than BW1's, in BW1 you don't even have an ending, Wizard kicks the cage and then boom!, end credits without a scene or much dialogue

though BW'2 final battle is much, much easier since you only fight 2 riders at a time and you are in permanent super mega giga ultimate form+a felow ultimate rider as ally, whereas in BW1 you have to fight against 4~5 riders by yourselves at once, the honest way(unless you cheat using the figure) and they can't die normally since you must destroy the cage instead of them

as for Cinema, i too am surprised that you don't really get to fight as him, Bujin Gaim is just the stupidest thing ever to be the Final Boss, at least BW1 had Boss-cade/Violent Decade, which you can't fight against anywhere else, including in BW2, they even had him prominently shown in the BW1 Op movie(if you don't skip it when it "ends")

the film guys already have their own final stage, the "last stand" of sorts where you have to fight them in Sorcerer's castle, IIRC you fight all of the new dark riders, Sorcerer, Ryuga, Caucasus, G4, Gaoh, and against Arc in the end

I know i'm not a programer and it's probably easier said than done because of hardware limitations, but there needs to be some kind of work around. Honestly, if this continues, there will be no hope for multiplayer (Especially since this game has a problem running single player as it is.).

it took Sengoku Basara series 5 games before Capcom finally fully apply a 2P mode to their game, BW is not ready for multiplayer yet, Eighting only just started to make these kind of thing, unlike the fighting games, which they had a lot of experience in

also, Bamco's budget for this, i'll bet it's very tiny, with enough budget and freedom to develop, Eighting had made big titles like Bloody Roar and Tatsunoko vs Capcom, so it's not that they can't make a good game, but more of what they can make with a budget so small

so, who already went and fill up the official BW2 poll?

If anyone is going to complain, please state this

why don't you do that yourselves?, if you buy it, you're entitled to comment on it, of course if you pirate it, that's a different thing altogether

 

[Dark Kabuto]

I honestly don't get what the big deal for multiplayer is at all.

It's a feature that I don't really use in games, I especially don't really see a need for it in a game such as this.
