So I chose the hard paths in God of destruction mode and at the end of round 7, I got a "to be continued" screen and the game ended. How do I unlock those last few levels?

Than why is it a pre order bonus lame lol

I think there are prerequisites for path unlocks D:? Like certain percentages or encounters and stuff. Those who have played the PS3 version should be able to elaborate.

Perhaps. I died once and didn't destroy the generators on another level. I hope I'm wrong, cause I suck lol.
I think it might be related to the intel gathering. It says after 50% a new weapon against Godzilla is made.

yeah.
And the characters mostly looked like shit
The character models in this are totally on point. The buildings do look super plain and boxy but in a way it works. It seems like they were trying to match the visuals of the movies, in which case they succeeded.

I think you have to reach a certain height in order to make it past that. Keep your combo meeter going to grow quicker.

Just a heads up for everyone: I added the first two reviews to the OT. It seems that IGN and Destructoid
.
did not enjoy it

Huge Godzilla fan, played some earlier...... I liked it. Did not have any problems picking up the controls, thought it was pretty easy.

Something tells me he probably sucked at it :x
Still waiting on Amazon (Canada) to ship my copy. Hyped to play it though. I prepped by watching Godzilla Against Mecha Godzilla and Godzilla Vs Space Godzilla yesterday. I'll probably pick up more of the Blu-rays in the meantime.
Shame Orga's not in this game. Always loved playing as it in the Xbox Godzilla game.

Stage 3 boss is wrecking me. He does this deadly combo. Any way to interrupt it?
I wrote and produced that review. I didn't intend to make it sound bad. I love that game.
Collecting data in the Godzilla playthroughs. That's what opens those locked stages on the far right. Once I had all the Easy and all the Normal stage data collected, it sent me through to the "real" ending.

I think you mean Space Godzilla has an Xenomorph egg on his chest.
That pretty much sounds like what I anticipated from the gaming press. Initial word-of-mouth appears to suggest that you'd probably enjoy the game if you're a diehard G-fan with a willingness to embrace the rough edges. It's primarily a daikaiju simulator first-and-foremost with its emphasis on decimating concrete jungles and combating other foes through sluggish maneuvers meant to convey a sense of weight. If you're waltzing into this title with expectations toward Destroy All Monsters Melee and its successors, I think you'll probably find yourself a little disappointed with the gameplay speed.Slackerchan said:
Yeah, Orga is cool and I wish it was in the game. I can;t complain about the roster though since I can play as most of my favorites (Biollante, Ghidorah, Destroyah, and so on). I imagine there will be more monsters in a hypothetical sequel.

A sort of quick look(not by GB guys) for anyone that's still on the fence. The people doing it know their Godzilla(Matt is a fanatic).

tbh, it'd have been more surprising for the reviews to be even a bit positive.

These reviews...

This is a game by Godzilla fans, for Godzilla fans. It would have been nice to see it reach a wider audience but I'm just grateful it was made to begin with. The devs were very clearly passionate about making an accurate Godzilla experience, for better or worse.

I believe you can utilize the Nuclear Pulse to disrupt enemy combos. It saved my skin a couple of times already, especially when fighting Larval Battra.

Good lord, how do people like that get jobs reviewing games? Reviews of games are damn near useless to me these days.

Exactly. It's so obviously geared to Godzilla fans from the word go I don't understand why a site wouldn't put their #1 Godzilla fans on it.

Thanks, just finished it. Game Is rad. Not even a huge Godzilla fan and this game brings the little kid out of me, playing monsters. So fun destroying stuff.
Yeah, the roster is great.

I think it was pretty easy to call the game getting poor reviews - though something as low as a 4/10 is a bit of a surprise. I'm not of the opinion that reviewers don't know what they're talking about, but this is definitely a game that was targeting a specific audience. It's not going to jive with everyone, but at least we get to have some fun.
I read a review where someone complained that Godzilla was a little too indestructible.
I understand that he was talking about game difficulty but my first thought was "isn't that one of the points to Godzilla"?

It's kind of the problem with reviews as a whole. People want to assign one score from one perspective. If they were clearly aimed at fans, people would be willing to look past issues for this type of experience. However, someone else on the outside may share that "this isn't good" opinion. This is why I hate scores personally.
Haha fair enough. Like I said, I do think the scores are pretty low, so there's most likely some dissonance there.

I always have this issue with reviews. Like, if a game doesn't do what it sets out to do, I get that. Rate it low. Tell us why.
But sometimes, a game is aimed a particular niche. Godzilla fans, in this case, are the prime target. And there's nothing wrong with a game not fumbling over itself trying to be something it's not.
Unfortunately, some dudes feel like a game needs to be catered to them, or all. Thank god it's not like that, or Gundam VS would be a straight 2D fighter with a copied system from SF. Judge a game on what it's trying to do, not what you want it to be.
Anyway, I don't have it yet, but that seems like the consensus.
On topic, it seems like you can level up your characters? Like boosting health, strength, etc?

Mainly gauge size and charge speed. Godzilla can learn some new moves, but all the other kaiju, as far as I've seen, only get gauge boosts.

So G-man 2014 is fucking radical, so is Ghidorah, so is Gigan, so is Kiryu, so is.... You know what? This game fucking rocks!

you worked on the old X-play? That's awesome, was a big fan in the early to mid 2000sI wrote and produced that review. I didn't intend to make it sound bad. I love that game.
this definitely has a 3D King of the Monsters feel
LMAO, I hear ya. Thankfully Im starting to remember where they're at

Unless you're super OP 2014 Godzilla.

No it wasnt the review that made it sound bad, its just I was turned off by the way you controlled things, and it was the first time I was made aware of the game in general.

I love how you picked quotes for the reviews that make the reviewers sound like they are clueless.
I can't seem to find where I can change the voice over language?

Is he good? I've only tried him in King of Kaiju and he felt a but off. Trying to level up default Godzilla now. Takes forever.

With the IGN review I just took the summation paragraph at the end. I took the intro from Destructoid since that one didn't really have anything that summed up the writer's thoughts.
Totally. Now don't get me wrong. I love massive excellently produced serious movies. But I also like schlocky dumb action movies. I don't think the latter should be held under the same scrutiny as the former. Because they set out to do different things.
Arkham Knight got a lot wrong. But a lot of reviewers didn't see that as an issue and looked past them to give it a perfect score. Whereas this under the same metric is a niche title aimed at a niche demographic yet is being thrown under the bus because it doesn't meet criteria it isn't even aiming for.
I just want to smash cities as Godzilla. That's all it needs to be for me to enjoy it.
From Extended Play on TechTV through to the end of G4. I demanded we review RAD just so I could show the "A robot killed grandma" thing.
I have no idea how I always miss those two damn pedestrian bridges, even during major kaiju showdowns.
