How is it a cowards way? A cowards way is using glitches or exploits to increase your score, not legitimate farming methods. There are no time limits in the game which is the probelm in the first place. If they put the time limits back in for NG2S, that should help a lot but only if they can fix the exploits people are using now.
You said your score with the Claws is 56 million but on the leaderboard it's 46.
Hi Bigalski, can I ask you a question about your score? Now by no means do I doubt that your score is legit but I do wonder what has consumed so much time? You are better than me and I fought every enemy and did all the ToV's aswell but it took you something like 7 hours longer. That is quite a lot, so I wonder where that time went?
I would say at least 3 to 4 hours of that time was me putting the game on pause during some long farming sessions. Since there's no chapter time limit bonus to speak of, time doesn't matter. The main point is that I fought every fight and all the TOVs.
It's not about the ET's, it's about getting single hit UT's which is what can take so long. A lot of what I did on my first run may sound excessive but I did it to show a point which is basically the lack of time limits, a little bit of know how, and a lot of patience can give good karma results. Here are a few examples.
CH4 TOV which has the zombies and beetles. Each beetle can take 3 to 4 single hit Gleaming Blade UT's. The trick is to know how far to get in front of them and only hit 1 beetle with a 1 hit UT which means there's a lot of jumping around to get where you need. I took a few breaks in that fight.
CH9 beetles. Imagine doing single hit GB's on beetles before and after you drop down until the Worm boss. More breaks.
TOVs that have the big worms can take a lot of single hit KG UT's. I used the Scythe for the most part and missed out on tons of points.
Some of the TOVs that I have on video take around 30 minutes due to farming.
Did you know that if you shoot off a leg of the cannon zombies that you can get 12 to 15 single hit KG UT's? It may sound simple but remember it keeps shooting at you as well as any others that around so timing is important.
If I knew now what I didn't know then on my first playthrough, 70 million is easily possible and over 80 on a second playthrough if somebody really wanted to put in the time. Some people say it's cheap but which sounds easier and to be honest, more cheap. Going through TOV4 in 5 minutes with the Scythe and blasting your way through it without being touched or trying to single hit UT every enemy in the challange in 3 hours?
If anybody wants to know anything about karma, just ask. I have no secrets and I've made a lot of videos on how to get karma. If I did a second playthrough karma run, all I would use is the level 3-4 DS, level 3 Lunar, level 1 Scythe, level 1 KG, and the WS. People can play the game however they want but IMHO, a legit karma run is far from cheap and far from easy. I just hope they add time limits in NG2S.
