Just started playing it.
It's... mindblowingly cheesyawesome...
Just beat the game.
Fridge Logic: Oh, yay, we don't have to worry about weapons of mass destruction now that I saved the... Wait. Didn't that entire colony get blown up in orbit?! Doesn't that kind of make space travel hard?! I mean, that scrap metal isn't going to just clean itself up! Now there's an entire colony's worth of debris floating orbiting the planet!

^Space junk is an actual problem, admittedly.

It is. And having a colony blow up, sending debris everywhere, most likely damaging other things orbiting the planet and creating more debris is nothing short of a catastrophe.
This is Vanquish, though. Not Planetes.

^^That actually made me think: The Philadelphia got blown up. What happened to all the debris from that?

^^True. And I'm perfectly willing to write it off because the entire game was a million kinds of ridiculawesome, but it still seems like a really stupid move on, well, everyone's part.

Maybe it's because we're used to stuff dropping from orbit and exploding, rather than it exploding in orbit.

Okay, I'm stuck. On the stealth section what am I supposed to do when the airship shows up? I can't kill it in one shot so it flies above me where I can't hit it and activates a constant stream of missiles.
Also is there any point at all to using the melee attack?

1)Shoot the pilot before it gets too close.
2)Boost kicking off of walls/cover or using the Heavy Machine Gun/Sniper Rifle Flash Kick without hitting an enemy will put you a short distance into the air, allowing you to more effectively target enemies behind cover. The Disk Launcher's melee attack doesn't use up the AR meter and will always remove one of a Romanov's limbs on the first hit.

Gotta replay this game. My life is in need of awesome.

Well that was one of the most radical final bosses I have ever faced.
6:45. 52 deaths.

...What difficulty?

Normal. I like how it unlocks God Hard for you without making you go through Hard. By the way, I heard there were actually six challenges. How do you unlock number 6?
From the press release:
SEGA Europe Ltd. is thrilled to announce that Platinum Games' revolutionary sci-fi action shooter VANQUISH™ will launch for PC, on Steam, on Thursday May 25th, 2017.
After the PC version of Bayonetta came around, it seems it was only a matter of time before Vanquish followed suit. I'm definitely excited to pick it up at some point.
Speaking of Bayonetta, anyone who owns that game on Steam is automatically entitled to a 25% off discount for a pre-order of Vanquish, bringing it down to $15. A decent price, all things considered.

Odd. Could've sworn that it was released for the PC years ago.
I'll see what the user reviews say in terms of PC performance and glitches; if it's good, I might grab it.

NO BUY IT AND WE MIGHT GET A SEQUEL
DO IT
DO IT FUCKING NOOOOOOOW!
That all you got?
The gameplay is Platinum, so of course it'll be good.
Can't say the same for the story but the gameplay is fun at least.
I remember playing the demo for that, could never get past its boss XD
That is the face of a man who just ate a kitten. Raw.
...Meeeeeeeeh. I'll think I'll wait a bit... you know, Steam Summer sales and all that.
The announcement of a remaster for Vanquish on Xbox One and probably PS4 got leaked.
(Do not open until The Game Awards next year.)
You know, I feel like this game becomes a lot Harsher in Hindsight with the fact that it has a Hillary Clinton expy as the US president who's colluding with the Russians in light of... literally everything that's happened in 2016.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.
Are they going to patch that annoying framerate issue on the PC version that makes God Hard difficulty essentially impossible? Or at least re-balance the melee combat for said higher difficulties, make it a bit more practical (since you die in a single melee hit, whereas you need to hit even the most basic enemy mook TWICE to achieve a kill?)
