I think you are talking about online reviews here. The internet is full of negative comments about everything. I don't know why but it seems to be cool to talk bad about anything and seem well informed because you know about so many things. Just ignore the internet (or mass media) and go for those that do it for fun/hobby, not for money. Take a look at small magazines and dig through them and you will find lots of good ones that don't even review games but tell you the positive things about them and why you should check them out yourself. I don't really understand the "repititve" reason anyway. Every game is. Just because environments change or you get items or stats with bigger numbers throughout the game doesn't make it non-repititive. I could play Mario games for hours straight (for weeks, not just one day), also plenty other games that do not offer much variety. I actually can't name any game that is not repititive.

I haven't bought the game yet but I will. I like these games because of the fun and not being serious. There's enough severity in real life, I don't need it in games that are supposed to make me relax and forget about everyday stuff.

All games are repetitive, but most try to hide it with the introduction of new ideas along the way.

Imagine playing 2D Mario with just one background (No swimming sections, no side scrolling levels etc.) only 3 different type of enemies, no powerups, obviously no Yoshi and so on and make it 6 hours long.

That would obviously be the worst 2D Mario ever.

In Lollipop Chainsaw you go into a room and see a counter of how many enemies you need to defeat. Kill them, you then see something explode and you jump into a new area. Another counter and so on.
Thankfully the whole game isn't like that, but it sucks when you need to hit every zombie like 6 times (in the beginning whe you're underpowered) until they're "dead".

I pre-ordered Lollipop Chainsaw, played through the entire game multiple times, unlocked all of the outfits, and I plan to get all of the Achievements at some point. The fact of the matter is, if the game had starred a guy, I wouldn't have even rented the game. The mechanics were pretty bad until I found the one or two combos that I could spam the hell out of. The boss fights were pretty generic. The writing was horrendous and not nearly as clever as they devs thought it was. "Ten hut. Ten butt-fuck.", "Swallow my fist like Tuna, bitch.", and "I hate you more than Carrot-Top!". Please.

It was an enjoyable game but it's plagued with poor graphics, invisible walls, and clunky controls. Style doesn't beat out substance, does it? People like me who buy any game that features a hot chick on the cover got what they wanted, though.

Haha I know what you mean and it was definitely no coincidence that a good looking chick is the protagonist.

From what I've seen though the starting outfit is already the "best" one right ? Therefore I have next to no desire to unlock any of them.

Could you tell me these combos you're talking about ? Maybe I've already discovered them, but it couldn't hurt to hear them from a Lollipop Chainsaw expert.

One is the a,a,x,x, x,, combo (or x,x,square, square, square if you're on PS3) that makes you spin like a buzzsaw through pretty much any enemy.  The other is, if I remember it correctly, the x,x,x,x,y,y,y,y combo.  Once you buy one and comit it to memory, there's no challenge to pulling them off.  In fact, the only challenge I had through the whole game was trying to kill seven enemies at once so I could get the Achievement.

I don't quite get if you like the game or not.

Let's see, perhaps like this: you think it's a mediocre game when trying to look at it objectively, but you still like it and even enjoy re-playing it?

lol. So you saw on XboxLive that he seems to have put away Dead Space recently, or what?

Dead Space is phenomenal, you think that too, right?

I didn't read any professional reviews, but the main gripes I've seen with this game from forums is that it's ridiculously short, not that funny, and it plays like shit. But like many others, I'm fascinated with Juliet's zombie misadventures, so I've been watching a playthrough on youtube.

I am surprised actually to see at least this level of good feedback about the game...the whole marketing/presentation of the game leading up to the release really made me lose interest. Might have to check it out down the road now

It's a game made for males although females can play it too of course.

2000c, I kinda doubt you are female BTW. The internet is full of males pretending to be females. I may be old-fashioned and prejudiced but you sound male in your writing style and way of analyzing games.

I would love if you proved me wrong. You can PM me a picture lol.

Don't say that, I want her to be real

Personally I really liked Dead Space. I'm just not that far into Dead Space 2 (chapter 5 or so) :(
