| curl-6 said: The eclectic mix of styles of one of the appealing things about the No More Heroes series for me; it feels whacky, imaginative, and often hilarious, which to me is more interesting than a lot of more "cohesive" games. |
And that's fine. I wasn't trying to insult the game or anything, I'm sure (based on what I've read) it's fantastic for the niche it is filling. But the OP's question was asking why there is no hype for the game, and I assume OP was presuming that sales won't be great either, and I was more just identifying why this game probably isn't on many gamer's radars and why it probably won't sell a lot.
I know too well the frustration of loving a game or type of game that just isn't that popular, but it happens. I've been a total war fanatic since I was a kid playing Medieval 1. I have, for years, heard people talk endlessly about Age of Empires and Civilization, amongst other RTS's or similiar kind of games. I played Civilization, AoE, and a ton of other RTS's. None of those games, not one, came close to even the mediocre total war games in terms of quality experiences for me, and yet until recently the total war series wasn't very popular in the gaming community. Now that they've embraced more fantastical elements (warhammer, troy myths, chinese myths), sales are exploding and more people are becoming aware of it, but for a long time I was advocating for a series which felt like 99% of gamers didn't care about.
