Cat ears vs S+

[Udr]

Hello everyone.
I was wondering something for a while. Can you get S+ while equipping the cat ears in a new game?

[Jod]

yea you can

[BaLuX]

Yes. You can use any equipment you want. As long as you do less than 5h30m, and up to 15 saves you are guaranteed an S+ rank.

What would be the point though? You have to have already done that to unlock the cat ears in the first place.

Probably to tackle speedrun community S+ run no restriction

The point is not to play the game for fun or any unlockable

Ty all for response. But i meant in any New Game not just pro. Judging by the responses i think its fine.

You have to start from a new game. Any equipment you can access trough extras menu or typewriter storage are fine.

Rewarding playing the game perfectly on the hardest setting by making the game a lot easier.

I just did this run a couple days ago actually... put on the cat ears and ran through pro and got an S+, it made it exponentially easier, as you could sell off all your excess ammo and get upgrades faster.

I noticed I took like 15 minutes longer on my run than my original because I was killing more enemies instead of running from them... which is basically what you do on your first S+ Pro run... but bosses were much easier and so was the villa horde part.

I really fail to see the point of the cat-ears at all. At that point you've done, beat all. I mean maybe do some speed runs or just blasting guys with infinite ammo but you can do that all the time with Hunk in Mercenaries. Use power and go ham. Very satisfying. I feel like the earlier remakes and Village tackled this MUCH better and let you use your hard earned goodies to get the BEST of the BEST. I felt very satisfied in the earlier titles getting infinite ammo on a few of my favorites and going after challenges and things but in this the only way to get infinite is to do the most grueling, frustrating horse crap and you cant use any goodies to do it. WTAF?? Makes no sense to me.

Getting infinite ammo always felt like an anti-climax to me and removed the survival aspect of the game. Also reduced my accuracy rating.

Alll unlocked cosmetic perks can be used to obtained S+ ranks in new games.

It seems odd that so many games do this. Give you something for completing hardest difficulty. Never understood why, when you have already done it, so why do it again.

To me, it's better to reward things earlier so they can be used on harder difficulties. otherwise most people will never use them.
