STOP! LOOK AT THIS! If your first thought wasn't that looks dumb continue on down to the main post. Godzilla: The Game is a video game developed and published by Bandai Namco games for the PlayStation 3 and 4. It was released on December 18, 2014 in Japan, and on July 14, 2015 in North America, and will be released on July 17, 2015 in Europe. The Japanese version of the PlayStation 4 Godzilla: The Game is titled Godzilla VS. Godzilla VS is the exact same game as the PlayStation 4 Godzilla: The Game. Reviews for the game have been mixed to negative with Godzilla: The Game averaging a 39% rating on metacritic. Are they right? Yes and No. The game really isn't that great but was made by hardcore Godzilla fan for hardcore Godzilla fans. The game filled to the brim with little touches that causal players would miss completely, like being able to break Mecha Godzilla 2's head exactly like in Return of MechaGodzilla. There are four game modes in Godzilla: The Game; God of Destruction, King of Kaiju, Evolution mode, and Diorama mode. God of Destruction God of Destruction mode consists of the player controlling Godzilla as he attacks certain stages, and is quite similar to Godzilla Generations. In order to clear the stage, the player must destroy all of the G-Energy Generators in the map, while also being attacked by G-Force and occasionally a boss. Some of these stages are timed and the player must destroy all of the Generators before the timer expires. As Godzilla destroys objects such as buildings, G-Energy Generators, and military vehicles, he will increase in size. Godzilla begins the campaign at 50 meters in height, and can reach an almost limitless size. Bosses that Godzilla faces will be leveled at the appropriate height based on Godzilla's current size. In order to complete Destruction Mode and reach the game's true final boss, the player must reach 100% destruction in each of the stages, discover all four special camera angles in every stage, and exceed 100 meters in height by the last stage. If all of these requirements are met, after the credits roll the player will begin the final stage as Burning Godzilla and be attacked by the Super X3 and several DAG-MB96 Maser Cannons. After this, the Legendary Godzilla will appear as the game's true final boss and must be defeated before the timer expires and Godzilla reaches meltdown. You can also defend the cities as friendly kaijus or invade with the villainous kaijus. King of Kaiju King of Kaiju is a game mode where the player plays through six stages, each with a different monster to fight. The monsters increase in strength the further the player progresses. The weaker monsters will appear in the first two waves (such as Mothra and Jet Jaguar), slightly harder monsters in the third and fourth, and the most powerful monsters in the final two stages (such as King Ghidorah, Gigan and Kiryu). The Heisei Godzilla, Burning Godzilla, and the American Godzilla are all playable in this mode Evolution Mode As the player defeats certain enemies and destroys certain structures in Destruction Mode, new abilities will be unlocked and can be applied to Godzilla in this mode. Godzilla can receive new attacks, including the "victory dance" from Invasion of Astro-Monster, as well as atomic breath upgrades, including the ability to use atomic breath to fly as in Godzilla vs. Hedorah, as well as fire Minilla's smoke rings or use a white misty atomic breath based on that used by the original Godzilla in 1954. In the PlayStation 4 version of the game, Evolution mode is used to unlock new monsters after the player has defeated them in Destruction Mode, as well as upgrade their abilities. The upgrades that the player makes to their monster can be used in online multiplayer matches. Diorama Mode Throughout the game, the player will unlock monster models and other objects that can be placed in an environment and viewed from various angles and used to take screenshots, allowing the player to recreate battles from the film or the game, or to create fantasy battles. It is way more fun than it should be: Kaiju Guide The player will also unlock bios for various monsters from the Godzilla series beyond just those featured in the game. These bios include pictures of the monsters from films they appear in, as well as information about the monsters' attributes and film appearances. It has really weird TANK CONTROLS
Versus Mode The highlight of the game versus mode lets you take your favorite monsters and duke it out in 1v1 combat or 1v1v1 combat(this the REALLY fun one). The games netcode is surprisingly good for as low budget of a title as this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9wqVIo3g_I Who Made the Cut Godzilla(1964/1989/1995/2014) Anguirus Battra(Larva/Adult) Biollante Destroyah Gigan(Final Wars) Hedorah Jet Jaguar King Ghidorah Kiryu(MechaGodzilla 3) MechaGodzilla(1&2) Mecha King Ghidorah Mothra(Larva/Adult) Rodan Space Godzilla Super MechaGodzilla Trailers & Videos Announcement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pWcejV8Ieo The Battle Heats Up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrAFaaupO8w Ultimate Mayhem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnyU1RmVvks Game Informer Test Chamber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9e6c5llEp0 Super Best Friends Play Godzilla the Game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jx28qW2amSM Hidden Secrets/Trivia

I assume it's getting the same treatment as every Warriors game or low budget Japanese thing reviewers can't be bothered playing for more than ten minutes: 'It looks low budget and trashy, no-one cares, I'm not getting paid to give it a good score 4/10.'

I can kind of understand it coming from the standpoint of it being $59.99 vs. the lack of polish, but a lot of the reviews are just like "durrr the controls" or whatever.Game owns but if you're not a Godzilla super fan wait til it's way cheaper.

Yeah, I guess Bamco decided that with it being a niche game and the price inevitably dropping quickly anyway they might as well fleece full price out of the Godzilla mega fans who'd buy it day one. Like me.

This game is good but probably only if you really like Godzilla, it's probably actually bad but I can't tell because my love for all things Godzilla is blinding me I get to play as gigantic monsters and blow things up this is amazing.

The gameplay in this looks pretty bad. It looks like the older Godzilla games are much more fun to play. I really don't think it is some kind of reviewer conspiracy.

I thought Destroy All Monsters Melee was a passable game. But im just going to drop it.

Yeah I initially was gonna give this game a pass since it didn't seem to be just a better, updated Destroy All Monsters Melee, but after seeing some game footage I went for it and I'm liking it a lot. I've heard the complaint is that it's not challenging enough and repetitive, and that's true. That said, I bought this game to play as a variety of cool monsters and blow things up, and that's what I get. I probably won't play this for a lengthy amount of time, but I'll definitely keep coming back to it. This game scratches an itch.

I am kind of attracted to this game just on the basis of it being something that 100% goes for simulating a very specific feel. I get the sense that everything about the gameplay design is fully intentional because it fundamentally has very different intentions than most other games on a philosophical level. It's sacrificing conventional playability in favour of accurately putting you in the role of an incredibly slow, lumbering dinosaur. That said gently caress this being $60, that's just stupid.

I had heard somewhere that the PS3 version had fewer monsters, which is kinda a dealbreaker for me. VVV Yeah thats dogshit. I have no intention of getting a PS4 for at least another year. Just Offscreen fucked around with this message at 14:33 on Jul 16, 2015 |

Oh yeah, the PS3 version only let's you play as Godzilla and has half the poo poo of the PS4 one, that's definitely not worth anyone's money.

A couple tips for those starting to do the harder paths, on the timed levels you just have to destroy the generators on time, you can take you time afterwards as long as the enemy kaiju is still alive. I don't know how they expect you to get all the data captures without abusing that. I believe the fury multiplier is based on number of objects destroyed, because wrecking a set of train tracks makes your multiplier shoot up quickly.

Broseph Brostar posted:both of these statements are true I have to say, if the game really does end with the penultimate arc wherein Godzilla is dying from a nuclear heart and has one last fight with Destroyah, that's sick as hell. Kind of wish they put in Orga and Megalon though. I always liked Orga as a "new" monster and Megalon would have at least made the old Jet Jaguar fight possible. Why they limit you to 3-monster fights instead of 4 player along with tag teams is beyond me.

Nah, Destroyah only shows up as a random encounter, and he's a huge bastard. The final boss is Legendary

I like giant monsters and there's not a ton of games that let you smash poo poo, but I'm not really that into Godzilla. I want to like this but I'm pretty sure it'd just be a short diversion for me, so I guess I'll wait until I can get it on sale. Is there a local 1v1 or 1v1v1 multiplayer or is it all online or bots?

Jet Jaguar appears at 50-60%, might want to update that. This game reminds me a lot of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle in that it's not a very good game, but it is a fantastic love letter to the series and its fans. I can't stop playing. I always get my rear end kicked by the 100m kaiju that show up on the hard path while I'm still under 60m. No idea what to do other than charge away and spam R2 when they get too close.

# ? Jul 16, 2015 23:16 |

Early 100m kaijus are caused by RNG, if you fail to beat them you'll probably get the regular version when you try again and they definitely appear on the easy path too. I wonder if you get bonus energy for beating the 100m version.

when you are matched up against 30-40m taller monsters than you, you have to back off, learn the tells, and abuse r2 gidorah hops right into a tail whip or laser. if you strafe right at the first sign of his laser you can thread the needle of most of the blasts. super mecha godzilla's beams can be dodged by charging forward just past him and then you spam tail whip / r2 etc. takes forever though. better off restarting.
