A for Ashame of this Armor system (or this clip would be way shorter), Anyway I'll do this Again After getting EX I need. Hope they won't forget the reason why many people like its prequel *next time*.
Scoring is even more unbalanced here than before. Had to do nigh-perfect aerial EX combos, kill every enemy, no checkpoints and no-hit to get X-rank. At first I tried to bank my score with last checkpoint and then do the boss but that only got me S-rank. In Dacite's stage of course Then for some reason in last stage, I killed zero mobs, took as much damage as possible but still got X-rank. And yes I was on Hard Mode in both scenarios.
@@seltekh3045 they mostly can set any standard they want, even the annoying one. I think they never test themselves when setting these standards (imo, if u can't, u shouldn't ask others to achieve that). One thing for sure is they always want players to kill all enemies to get best score/rank, no need to be skillful. This system has been used for years, never change, and it's kinda unnecessary to exist with that rule too. And now you're slower in iX2, u still have to follow that old rule, a backstep for a sequel to me.
@@Tar02X The score attacking is pretty screwed, and I agree with this new system being a complete downgrade. Or I would, except the EX weapons just play too nice with the saw and it reminds me too much of Zero/Zx for it not to be my favorite of Copen’s gameplay styles. For example: Anchor Nexus can let you dash more cleanly through the weaker grounded enemies. Having it on, pressing the saw button for the first hit of the ground combo in range of an enemy, then pressing dash to do the dash slash immediately after usually kills them outright. No kicking off the enemy either, just knocks you up a bit but you’re completely actionable out of. Works on all of the smaller grounded enemies, which there are a lot of in this game. Dacite’s weapon can weaken enemies in advance like the busters of the Zero/Zx games, which means the fast and clean air slashing through enemies like in those games is possible with good aim. If you weaken an enemy enough, you can also do a dash slash that doesn’t get interrupted as well(applies to all other weapons, but this and Ace’s work the best for it). Not to mention the Plasma Charge shot from X4 returning to mostly one shot everything in its way like fully charged busters usually do is great. Having the one upgrade to decrease charge time is a dream and a half. Vespa’s weapon saves the ground combo by itself by letting you cancel the combo into it. Both the second and third parts can be cancelled into it(the two slowest, otherwise uncancellable parts), and it puts you into the air as well. From there, you can do a single air saw that usually kills bulkier enemies(Especially if you’re playing on normal and have the boomerang saw), or go into an air dash and gun them down in the air. The shorter bulkier enemies let you do that kick off that sends you forward too, keeping the pace going. It’s better than sitting there waiting for the saw to kill them, and the weapon itself is amazing for enemies above you. You can really salvage the saw and the general speed of the game using these and the other EX weapons that are just way too good. And as someone who got more of a kick going fast rather than score attacking as Copen, this just hit so right for me. I think if it wasn’t for the single dash before Overdrive, the saw would be an upgrade to how Copen works on the ground. Actually, allowing a similar dash system to GV2 or iX would just be a straight upgrade to those games. Just a shame the scoring is so wack. You’d think the devs would change the system to better work with grounded Copen instead of the same “floor is lava” + last hit with ex weapons thing again.
Funny because the game's level design has some of the same problem X6 had, like how the bottomless pits are too shallow and kill you too quickly, or the rising lava sections
So how do you feel about the new system mechanics set up with Copen's two Styles? Does it feel a bit weird to adjust to after two whole games of Copen playing the same?
since another one feels suck with analog, or I should say analog control in iX2 is the worst to me. So now I only use dpad in iX2, while both control type have 0 difference on it.
Not sure if it's just me but I preferred the smaller stages in LAiX, they are better suited for replaying for score. The stages here largely feel like a slog. (though this might be in part due to the gimped movement)
"Extend play time" is what they do, but usually they don't do well, dmfd for example, it failed to do that and lost enough players before more updates, now this armor system that slows u down before 1000 kudos. Tho this big stage thing already happened in GV2, but only gunvolt's part, stages for Acura is shorter, maybe it's bc Acura can fly, while gv can only "walk and kill".
Maybe it's just my opinion, the problem with this sequel is your usually ranged weapon replaced with melee weapon, but that melee weapon is almost useles in Boss fight, you have to marked them first and it just become the usual ranged attack, that just fell like the devs want to annoy player rather make the game more chalenging just because the pre-quel is to broken (copen can just fly thought entire level with unli bullit dash). I hope they reconsider this playstyle if they gonna make another sequel again, adding new features without Ruining what makes thing unique in the first place
The rank system is boring tbh, and they still use it after so many years. They don't care ur skill, just "kill them all efficiently to get best rank", u may actually get X rank by just doing 3 slashes to all enemies and walking, no need to improve ur skill on air dash, the feature that makes this 2d game so different(will there be ix1 if people don't like his playstyle?) I may only find satisfaction in iX1, since it's much smooth(with flexible dash control). The sequel is slow, so far the slowest of 3 acura games, while Inti calls it "the ApeX of 2D action", I dunno what ApeX mean tho. So why do I have to stand still and do 3 slash just to kill a mob(+30), while he could tag shoot in the air(+10/+20)? Yes, mainly for more kudos to do what he could already do.
Let say, Acura and Kohaku are chilling and then out of nowhere an interdimensional portal isekai both and both attempt to find way back to original world.
that kind of story is an example of “running out of ideas”. Besides, there’re enough animes and light novels about traveling to different world during these years.
@@Tar02X yah i think the same, but good think dev created this game as waiting game for GV3. Saw attack was like helping player have easier time to adapt Kirin playstyle
@@Tar02X I still want this game but I gotta admit that the tools in this game is questionable. I also wish that this game got the stomp mechanic but also give it a damage and combo with the melee attack
@@Tar02X Haven't tried it in Hard Mode but Rolling Ripper looked like this game's spam weapon to me. Also hard agree that Anchor Nexus is awful at score gathering, but for punishing boss openings? I use the hell outta that crap
It has to be easier so this new armor wouldn't be that suck in hard mode, all these mobs could've been replaced with stronger ver. or much annoying ones, like drills in Hail stage, shields in Brigade stage, or just the big mobs.

i wonder do game require us to clear all 5 special mission to unlock Original armor just like Dullahan clip from gunvolt
I like the use of this X6 track specifically cause everytime I get to those rising lava sections, I get X6 flashbacks..
It brings back the Donuts' horror tho. :(
@@kissofaries everyone childhood nightmares and ptsd
and don't forget those nightmares mosquitoes. They annoying as heck
Funny because the game's level design has some of the same problem X6 had, like how the bottomless pits are too shallow and kill you too quickly, or the rising lava sections
I was hoping for something like say Magma Dragoon’s stage theme from X4.
Magma Area is a fitting theme for the first Gravekeeper stage on freakin' hard mode
So how do you feel about the new system mechanics set up with Copen's two Styles? Does it feel a bit weird to adjust to after two whole games of Copen playing the same?
Wow Dacite moving fast looks badass af, cool fight.
Oh yeah. This is what I'm waiting for.
It doesn't look that satisfying to me tho :\
I see that you haven't change the flight style in the option menu. They added the option to change flight style between GV2 or LAiX1
since another one feels suck with analog, or I should say analog control in iX2 is the worst to me.
So now I only use dpad in iX2, while both control type have 0 difference on it.
Great video I'm still trying to figure out just how to beat hardmode bosses.
1:48 overdrive theme [ unlock theme ? ]
this boss is an example of why walls in boss arenas are rare in gunvolt games. this kinda looked like fighting chill penguin in mmx.
Not sure if it's just me but I preferred the smaller stages in LAiX, they are better suited for replaying for score. The stages here largely feel like a slog. (though this might be in part due to the gimped movement)

@@Tar02X fair enough… it could be why I slightly didn’t enjoy this as much as the first installment😅
Do bosses on hard mode have different or zero intro dialogue?
Everyone skips then so I can't verify.
I wonder will they update the GV3 With live 2D skill cutscene as well. In the Last trailer the boss seem to still use the normal one.
Maybe it's just my opinion, the problem with this sequel is your usually ranged weapon replaced with melee weapon, but that melee weapon is almost useles in Boss fight, you have to marked them first and it just become the usual ranged attack, that just fell like the devs want to annoy player rather make the game more chalenging just because the pre-quel is to broken (copen can just fly thought entire level with unli bullit dash). I hope they reconsider this playstyle if they gonna make another sequel again, adding new features without Ruining what makes thing unique in the first place
I wonder why sometime you don't get quick break bonus.
oh that, they want u to kill many quickly in a row, so too slow will reset it
not the donut theme!
O's theme!
Hmm, this not enough to satisfy you right? You want the X rank. But this is awesome, great job man

Este nivel es una extraña mezcla entre el Magma Area ( Megaman X6 ) y el Area K ( Megaman ZX )
NICE 👍
The story is confusing like the BMZ2 the blaster rifle for some reason.
and may not be that important either, it's parallel world after all.
Yeah it might just be a reference.

@@Tar02X yah i think the same, but good think dev created this game as waiting game for GV3. Saw attack was like helping player have easier time to adapt Kirin playstyle
I wish that its Orbital Edge instead. Orbital Edge is the reason why I decided to buy iX instead of GV2.
At least GV2 has ice sword, this one has nothing like melee... Oh, his saw, which can only be used while standing :v

Too bad didn't got an S+ to this stage and I know just basic weapon to win but knowing that their defenses increase in hard mode is hard
the game cares score, not skill
