RANDOMLY DECIDED TO LOOK UP A HOW-TO GUIDE ON HOW TO KILL ASHINA ELITE (I DO IT AFTER BEATING A BOSS) AND EASILY DESTROYED HIM ON MY FIRST SHOT- BUT FOR THIS REASON ON NG+ THIS WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST IN THE EFFING PLAYTHROUGH!br AS FOR GENCHIRO - FIRST SHOT! LIKE THE LAST TIME I BEAT HIM THOUGH I DID RATHER POORLY ON THE FIRST PHASE SO I DIDN'T EXPECT TO PULL OFF A WIN!br RELUCTANTLY DECIDED TO DO NG+ AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT MOST GAMES WITH A NG+ ENHANCES OVERALL FUN-FACTOR BUT FOR THIS I THINK IT MAY HAVE BACKFIRED-br ANYWAYS, THERE WERE UNCHECKED BOXES I WANTED TO COMPLETE BUT I COULD ONLY DO HALF OF THEM (THE OTHER HALF WOULD REQUIRE PLAYTHROUGH #3 WHICH THIS GAME SUCKS WAYYY TOO HARD FOR ME TO EVEN WANT TO DO)br BREEZED THROUGH THE GAME COMPARED TO THE FIRST PLAYTHROUGH AND I FELT THAT THE DIFFICULTY ACCELERATED TO EVEN-OUT MIDWAY SO THE ADDED STATS TAPERED OFF RATHER QUICKLY!br 7.
