Ben Posted February 2, 2008 Second session tonight and I'm definitely improving: Managed to survive about 5 waves of the final final boss in area 5 -- that being the female avatar which slowly rebuilds itself with each subsequent wave you destroy. Actually the female avatar is not the boss; she is Eden, the AI entity that you are attempting to re-boot / rescue. The actual boss is the large device that's "holding" her, which looks like two connecting pincers - kind of like the second Death Star's main reactor - and each time you hit it with a series of shots and bring down its energy to a certain level a part of Eden is freed and re-formed... which is what those little cutscenes show. Which means I managed to get the 'bad' ending: "She is still trapped inside..." (or similar) Yeah kinda, it's saying that: Eden is still trapped inside because you didn't get 100%, which if you achieve unlocks the special butterfly end sequence.

Wrestlevania Posted February 2, 2008 I'm amazed that this game can have so many spoilers. What, does the flying silver guy turn out to be a butler? Join the HD revolution, or remain forever ignorant. ...at least until you go looking on Wikipedia, anyway. Or hit Ctrl+A. It's a great game -- everyone with a 360 should buy I think.

miffy495 Posted February 2, 2008 Wrestle, the reason the bosses are getting harder is that you're getting better. Bosses have three forms. For example, on the first stage, depending on your percentage on the level up to that point, you will fight Earth[Mega], Earth[Giga], or Earth[Tera]. I'm at a level of play where I will usually fight the [Tera] versions of the first two bosses and the [Giga] versions of the second two. First time I fought Mars[Tera] was on my first play through HD, and it was a major jump in difficulty from what I was used to. I adapted though, and so will you. It's the game's way of active difficulty adjustment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted February 4, 2008 Ah-ha! This game continues to grow ever-more interesting. NB: I saw Fat Rab playing last night, so I'd expect a videoGaiden review imminently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted February 4, 2008 There already is a review in the newest episode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted February 4, 2008 Apologies - didn't realise the next episode was already out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted February 4, 2008 I don't think that really calls for an apology Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted February 4, 2008 And seeing as it wasn't actually what you could call 'a review' either, I concur. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted February 4, 2008 No? Most of the stuff in videoGaiden is only barely something I'd call a review. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted February 4, 2008 Granted but there wasn't even any real discussion. Just bickering. I understand why, but still... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted February 6, 2008 I fought a 'Tera' and won! But I'm confused... During the same play-through, I bet the end of game boss - or so I thought - so that Eden could reform. But I didn't get the 'butterfly' ending mentioned previously -- just that "She is still trapped inside the machine..." message again. What did I do wrong? I'm listening to the Rez soundtrack as I write this; I was concerned it might not work outside the context of the game, what with not having all the little snaps and hits from the player shooting things. But it works really well. In fact, I've picked up a lot more of the subtlety in the way each track is layered. Very good stuff indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I didn't get the 'butterfly' ending mentioned previously -- just that "She is still trapped inside the machine..." message again. What did I do wrong? It depends what your avatar form was and what your shoot down rate was. Basically there are two butterfly endings - white and pink. To get the white butterfly ending you have to be in final form, but you have to be under 100% shot down. Having a final form and 100% shot down will give you the pink butterfly ending.

n0wak Posted February 7, 2008 I was wondering about this too. Thanks. I beat level 1 with a Tera-form boss yesterday, but like an idiot I accidentally wasn't in "Time Attack" mode. Would have been #1 on my friends' list. But still, it's nice to see an improvement in play. Still a long way to go to 100% stage 5 though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted February 7, 2008 Level one Tera isn't so bad. The one that murdered me about 20 times before I could finally take it was the level two Tera. That one is a bugger of a fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderPeel2001 Posted February 11, 2008 Yeah kinda, it's saying that: Eden is still trapped inside because you didn't get 100%, which if you achieve unlocks the special butterfly end sequence. Huh? I DID get 100% Analyzation on all five levels, and I restored her, but I got the same message Edit: Nevermind. It's the shot down rate ... yikes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted February 11, 2008 yeah, I doubt I'll ever get the good ending myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenty Posted February 27, 2008 Ok I've been so addicted to Rez HD recently, to the extent where I've hardly touched Lost Odyssey (which is a game I'm really loving... but I just can't stop playing Rez!) I loved Rez loads on Dreamcast, but i never played beyond the normal mode. On 360, the 1080p beauty combined with the fact I now have a decent sound system elevates this game to an entirely new level of immersion for me. Also, the achievements have actually caused me to explore the game more fully than I did on Dreamcast. I've now enjoyed Lost Area, beating time attacks (with their different 'hardest' patterns so a whole new experience), playing Boss Rush etc. and realised a whole depth to the game that I wasn't even conscious of back on DC, all thanks to acheivements prompting me to try them out. And then you realise you can download the replays of everybody on the leaderboards! And then you find the graphical filters, and all the things you unlock in beyond mode, and the way the unlocking of each thing is so perfectly placed, it's brilliant. So far i've got 8 out of 12 acheivements and this is the first 360 game ever where I'm dead set on getting ALL of them. Finally, when i first completed it i got the normal 'but she's still trapped inside' ending. After some more runs through.. when i got the butterfly proper ending, I almost cried I was so happy. One of the best fucking games ever. Period. It's a masterpiece. I AM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
