Oh guys prepare to change your pants at this idea. So you know how some companies are putting out their PS2 HD 3D compilations? Imagine the Clover collection, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, God Hand, in HD 3D!
Are you hinting at something, boyo?
Cause that's really unlikely to happen, but you DID just say you met up with industry insiders...
I'm not saying it is going to happen, I drink with these guys every Wednesday. I'm not giving any inside news, I was just wish hoping.
The funny thing is that I'm telling a story about a guy that was saying how much God Hand sucked, and somebody read it and the post after it as, "OMG possible HD re-release?!"

Oh hey. We have a God Hand thread. So I'm going to be playing God Hand here in the near future, on account of this, which I can't quote because apparently that thread got locked.
Also because Morninglord will do unspeakable things to me if I don't.

It'll make you more of a man than losing your virginity.
Just remember to save those special attack wheels and not waste them on chumps. They do TERRIBLE TERRIBLE damages to mini-bosses and bosses.
My favorite thing about godhand is the difficulty slider. It's one of the few games, if any, where I always felt right in the groove of being challenged, but still having a great time.

That and punching people.
The problem with God Hand is that it's just a game about punching people.

The genius of God Hand is that it's just a game about punching people.
Well, I've given up on ever playing this game. I exchanged the disc I had for another one and it still spins up and the laser clicks, and the farthest it gets is to the Playstation 2 splash. Most of the time it doesn't get there. Every other game I own works just fine, but God Hand won't work for some reason.
I tried adjusting the laser positioning, and even went so far as to buy white lithium grease to apply to the rails and snake screw of the laser. No dice.

That's right. Get to it.
@joshofalltrades: Oh man. I reckon the game is scared of you. It knows you took on I want to be the guy. It knows how good you are at ridiculously hard games. It's trying to hide.

Well, I found a way to play it. It isn't optimal but I found a way. Don't think I can talk about the specifics, but I have a fully-functioning PS2 and game disc. I shouldn't have had to resort to this.
Anyway, the game is great. Even the first level. The IGN dude is crazy.
My PS2 actually has the same problem with DMC3:SE. One day it decided I could never play it again. The disc is in perfect condition and every other game plays fine, including scratched up blue-back discs.
It just keeps getting better, too. Remember that this is you with the bare minimum of moves. Eventually you'll be punching people into the atmosphere on a regular basis and working drunken boxing moves into your combos.

Even at the beginning it still feels amazing when you manage to time a dropkick just right and then flow on to the next dude. Even the non-obnoxious stuff is pretty satisfying.

I was hooked from the moment I roundhoused a guy into the saloon porch.
and have since packed away my PS2. It's all neatly arranged in a box for next time I get the urge to get punished by video games for not being good enough.
I died 11 times so far. I didn't read the manual or any faqs and have just been kinda going with it. I learn by doing I guess.
Straight back dodge is your friend.
Edit: Yes, I meant UP dodge. It's been a long time since I've played the game.

Just remember, if a move can't be dodged by going straight back because it travels forward far enough that you get hit by it, you can probably updodge it instead.
Oh and you can chain the updodge continuously until you feel like attacking. Moves that cannot be updodged tend to be the exception rather than the rule.

boss around stage 7?
I've put two or three solid hours playing that fight. No boss in this game has given me anywhere near as much trouble.
I got bored with it about a year ago, but seeing this thread made me think of it.

He's probably the shittiest boss in the game. I recommend either spamming overhead blow-up dodge-repeat, drunken twist-dodge-repeat, or breaking his guard and then side kicking him into the wall over and over again (side kick-up dodge-repeat).

Most of his attacks can be updodged.
The key to this boss is not letting him get away from you. If he gets away from you he WILL do his clone technique. You can't updodge their attacks.
The best thing to do if he gets this off is that spinning kick thing godreel, it'll eat the clones.
But for the most part you have to stay in his face and dodge everything. If he starts a combo, updodge->sweep him out of it. Press up and triangle while he is on the ground then start punching before he comes up.
You'll be able to get in a couple of hits.
If he breaks your attack, immediately updodge sweep.
If you try to guard break him and he ducks, immediately updodge. Don't back dodge. That's giving him space. Giving him space is suicide.
There's only one of his attacks that you need to backdodge I think. It's the giant jumping attack he sometimes does.

Morninglord is 100% correct (as if there were any doubt). I thought that boss sucked too until I realized it's essentially a big "you really should learn how to up-dodge to stay in the thick of the fighting by now" tutorial.
Ha, I popped God Hand back in my PS2 this morning, just hitting the eject button twice anytime it had a disc read error, and it finally read! So I actually got to play a little of it how it's meant to be played, at a decent framerate. I kicked ass all the way until the QA hombres, with the kick me sign still attached and then I had to leave for work. At least I know it'll work sometimes.
Updodging is the new downdodging. The only problem is that now I consistently make it up to level DIE. I haven't even had any practice on 3, much less DIE. I skipped right from 1 to 2, and right from 2 to DIE. That's how fucked up my own difficulty curve is.
The game is going "Oh, what, think you're all fancy because you can updodge? You think you can be a master just because updodging works on a lot of the grunts? Well then I guess you won't mind if we make them a little smarter then would you? Oh, oh, what's that? Is that too hard for you? But I thought you were really good and these guys were no problem. Well it's fine, level DIE will always be here. You know, just in case you invite your friend over that's actually good."

All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.

So much fun. I don't know why I'm attracted to difficult games. Maybe it's like spicy foods; they hurt, but in a good way?

I'm the fuckin' fist of the north star.
The game will now punish you for your hubris.
I'm just going to have to let myself get smacked a few times on Level 3 for a while then
Which is why I never got very far in it.
Maybe I should hook up my PS2 and give it another whirl.
