Time to BODY THE PLANET | MAX PLAYS: Asura's Wrath - Part 2

[@2la84me]

Yasha and the rest of the goon squad: -Betrays him and frames him for the highest treason possible and inscribes his name in history as a monster -MURDERS HIS WIFE -Kidnaps Asura's daughter -MURDERS ASURA Also Yasha: "Asura does not listen to reason" Yeah.....I wonder why.

[@thestroke1756]

i mean technically there wasn't really any other way aside from "the cause" btw yasha wasn't involved in durga's death he just wasn't able to avenge her because of sergie's involvement in the cause

[@NeutralGuyDoubleZero]

Its implied quite heavily Yasha was roped into this against his actual wishes and is very reluctantly going along because they managed to convince him of the cause against vlitras revival, also due to falling even deeper into his melancholy and being passive/inactive as a result. Yasha also didn't murder asuras wife, as she was his sister. He was quite salty he wasn't able to kill sergei for it due to them on the same side.

Symphony No. 9 reminds me of both this fight, and the fight in One Piece where Luffy punched Crocodile upwards into the ceiling of an underground temple until he's punched through the bedrock, and splits the ground in the city, pushing and knocking over buildings as the ground ruptures and Crocodile is sent flying so high into the sky that everyone fighting in the city could see him as he lost consciousness.

Augus throws away his scabbard before the fight, meaning he was well aware that fight was going to be his last

[@mysticmind4563]

Augus is my favorite boss to fight and my favorite in this game next to Yasha. He doesn't care about ethics of his peers nor placed any resentment for his pupil. If anything, he resented those whose rely on the mortals' mantra like Wyzer, Kalrow, or Deus. Both of them battle with their own raw power and instinct giving it their all. At the climax, he dies doing his passion, and to the man that he has taught and fought alongside with. A great battle of the student surpassing the mentor.

Yeah, another character he voices really well is Yasuo from League of Legends. Yasuo is a guy who ends up accidently killing his big brother after his brother hunted him down for killing their master (Yasuo wasn't the one who killed him), so usually when Yasuo talks you can hear he is very depressed because he'll be always seen as the traitor who killed his master and his brother.

[@sinteleon]

Then again, you do realize Yasha already knew that the whole time, to the point that I believe Deus planned the whole event with him, with him actually practically his second in command, moreso than even Olga (note that he seems to have audience priority, and he takes Yasha's observations as fact without even bothering to listen to Olga). I'm almost fairly certain he was actually given the most important job during the whole emperor assassination attempt: the actual assassination of the emperor. The only reason why Yasha is hesitant during the story, is because Asura is clearly showing that Deus' plan isn't the only way, a fact he wouldn't have known 12,000 years ago (and may not even have been true 12,000 years ago, since Asura was directly influenced by Chakravartin, possibly even rescued and prepped by the spider for his intended role).

Actually fun fact, one of the artists behind this game, Tokitsu Yusuke, is the art designer for Fuga: Melodies of Steel, a turn-based JRPG self-published by Cyberconnect2 (The developers of Asura's Wrath), set in a France-inspired world of dog/cat-people (Said world had the two games Tail Concerto and Solatorobo released for it way back). It follows the story of twelve children who are forced to take the lives of enemy soldiers in a giant tank to save their families held hostage, learning the cruelties of war along the way. If you're interested in Cyberconnect2 games, go check that one out, as it's one of their most recent releases, and sequels for Fuga are planned. Easily one of my favorite series story-wise and in terms of worldbuilding, you might be surprised!

[@ShadowkingSonic]

I just want to go on record saying I've heard a lot of conflicting stories about the nature of the DLC fiasco with this game. What I'm more or less certain of is that there was supposed to be a sequel, and the base game ending for this game was meant to be the sequel hook. The sequel was never greenlit, so the best case scenario is that CC2 took the sequel ideas, trimmed the SHIT out of it, and made it DLC (which is cool because it's genuinely the best part of the game) so that we'd see the end of Asura's story. On the other hand, I've heard that all this happened before the game even came out, meaning that they could have just included the true ending in the base game, but Capcom had them chop the ending off for DLC. On a THIRD HAND, I've heard that they deadass ran out of disk space for the true ending. I'm not sure if this could have been solved with a dual layer disk or whatever either, I don't know, I've never seen an Asura's Wrath game disk, and I don't know enough about the Xbox 360 or PS3 to comment on the disks they took, etc. On a FOURTH HAND... I got nothing, but Asura has 3 extra hands. Good thing he has six hands or else this'd be weird.

[@diegoalbertocastillo6320]

I played this game relatively recently, in the PS3 version all the DLC are at the original launch price. And the package of all the DLC I don't remember if it costs 10/15 dollars. I loved the game, but it's really unfair that you have to pay for the ending regardless of whether it's a preview of future games. I remember they did the exact same thing to Dead Space 3.

[@Yunglex313]

The 360 has had games that were split between discs if I'm not mistake so they could have had a 2 disc game for the 360 version if that were the case, while the PS3 disc, being able to just hold more data, would only need one. I'd go with Capcom just splitting the game to get more money.

Some of the comments say that there was a sequel planned, but it never got greenlit. Partly due to poor sales of the game at the time of its release. So, CC2 cut the shit out of their sequel plans and made it DLC.

New world symphony hits so hard during the moon fight, perfect choice of a song

Being forced to buy the end of the game was scummy AF but it was worth it. The ending and final battle are both very cool and surprising.

*1:32:10* As a One Piece fan, Symphony No. 9 From the New World is hype when used for an action set piece.

From watching Max's gameplay in part 1 and 2 of this playthrough so far... the ranged attack that not look worth using in any situation outside of the run and gun segments. It barely puts a dent in the burst meter and it seems like Max is constantly fighting the game whether he tries to shoot at things (where the firing mode is overriding the lock on even though you can shoot while locked on... leading to Max randomly stopping all movement and shooting in the nothingness).

Ranged attacks ALWAYS suck in Japanese action games.

[@Shindenize]

The ranged attack is actually to build the Rage meter, not the Burst meter. Releasing the Rage meter makes Asura's attacks stronger for a limited time and he can use strong attacks without cooldowns.

[@SirGrimly]

@@Shindenize Still doesn't change the fact that the fire mode is constantly fighting with the lock on feature despite the two systems being designed to work in tandem. I counted dozens of times in just this video alone where Max got hit or failed a QTE because he shifted into firing mode while trying to shoot while moving around.

​@@frenchfriedbagel7035 True, though I'd argue Nero's blue rose and Vergil's summon swords are pretty good.
