Heh, the Killer 7 side-discussion is very interesting. Anyone who makes games in RPGMaker or any other game maker that has potential to hinder the gameplay aspect should take notes (especially if you aren't adept at making good graphics either).

Never really had much hope for this anyway. That Suda 51 guy is great at making stylish arty stuff but shit at games. Killer 7 was bloody shite.

It's not that the game is being censored in Australia, they actually added in the blood for the US release... probably to get more sales.  This game was a flop in Japan so they got some manga artist to make a new US box art (which looks 10x better than the JP boxart which is rare) and they added in blood and extra stuff to get people to buy it.  Kind of like how Square added in SUPER SAIYAN mode and voice acting for Dragon Quest 8.

Killer7 was absolutely terrible, so I'll give this one a gigantic miss.

Suda-51's Contact for the DS was also a poorly done game, so I'm really worried about how this will turn out.

Part of me wants this to be like Company of Heroes from THQ: a fun game from a shitty company.

Company of Heroes was made by Relic, and Relic make great games.

p.s. this game just came out. I got it and it's pretty fun. I'm playing it on the mild difficulty setting (i think theres just two or just two to start with) and it's pretty challenging, but a fun challenging. The game seems like it could get repetitive since you kill a boss, get money, fight next boss but the boss battles are just ridiculous amounts of fun and the bosses vary greatly and you need to use mostly different tactics against them. plus, suplexing people into the floor has never been more fun. pretty good game imo but im only like 3 bosses deep.

Got the game this past week and have been playing off and on as time allows.  I just earned my 7th rank and I'm liking the game; it's mainly the requirements to go from one mission to the next that is annoying as the tasks required to earn what you need to get to the next rank leave much to be desired.  If it could be helped, I would have preferred the whole game to be hub based, where the city has other things to do, but weren't exactly tied directly to earning your way to new ranking missions as that there is the meat and potatoes of the game to me.

No More Heroes is not very refined as far as gameplay goes, but I'm still having some good fun with it. I mean yeah it's repetitive but there are certain charms to it that keep me playing.

lol I love putting the Wiimote to my ear and hearing Sylvia talk about some "Garden of Madness" shit.

Moe..... :gwa:

I got this over the weekend, let me just say I have not been bored a single second in it.  Technically the gameplay is repetitive in that you are mostly hitting the A button the swooping to a certain direction then hitting the A button some more, but it doesn't feel like "ARRRGGHH HITTING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER".  The cutscenes, characters, voices, and every other thing about the story are fantastic.  I agree with the thing about the phone calls too, I guess it's just MORE FUN to feel like you're really getting calls.  I love everything about this game.

It looks awesome for me and probably it's the only worthy Wii game coming out in a while, that is third party of course. I'll get it ASAP.

totally reccomended that ppl get this game, it is probably the most innovative and violent game you could get on a wii, even though santa destroy is fuggin boaring once you get into combat, it is oh so satisfying to see blood spurt EVERYWHERE

It makes me feel like it's harder to explain why this game is good with posts like that  :fogetunsure:

I only just beat DESTROYMAN, but the game is the exact opposite of what I expected in terms of actual gameplay. The story's not really as compelling as killer7's, but the cutscenes are still really nice. Probably my favorite Wii game.

Also what fuck Sylvia talks through the Wiimote to you? I thought my Wiimote sounds were turned on and it was supposed to be silent but I guess not!
Anyway... I played a bit of this... And I'm not so fond of the setting. I hate that whole ghetto "gangsta fo life" thing, and I've never been much of a baseball player.

i've never played killer7 (although i really want to, and i will) but no more heroes is pretty awesome.

the constant job system has gotten a little annoying, and the traveling system (i.e. the buggy bike) isn't so great, but i still love the game. it just irks me when i'm driving the bike, somehow tap into something, sit there for a second, THEN my guy flies off the bike. then i have to run back and pick it up. it's pretty annoying. and the jobs every other boss suck, but the bosses are original and fun enough to warrant the repetitiveness.

I had a hard time finding it, the Gamestop I found it at only had two or three copies.

Just completed the game a few hours ago.  Both the #1 ranked mission and the "Real" ending were just buttercreme icing on an already rather delicious cake.  Gotta start the second playthrough though as I missed one card ONE FREAKIN CARD in the whole game, had only a few more of those Lovikov balls to get, I'm sure there were at least a few more hidden T-Shirts to find and I pretty much didn't buy anything outside of upgrading the Tsubaki, training at Thunder Ryu's and those wrestling tapes.

From the way it all ended, here is hoping circumstances are favorable enough to warrant a sequel.
