YES IT WILL! This game looks WAY better than the first one!



Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix!

Ah the copious amount of blood, gratuitous violence, and the overtly sexual themes will see to that!

Btw, I watched the IGN video from the OP's other thread. It. Looks. .... AMAZING!

Most real "Hardcore" gamers who have all current Gen systems need to go out and purchase this game, especially if you played and enjoyed the first one.  Street dates been broken. Check you local twits or Face Books to find out where and go buy this game.  Enjoy slicing!!  Mini games are a BLAST!!

I can't see how this game would score worse than NMH 1. It's a much better game, from what I've seen and heard.

So now I hear (from IGN) that this is only 10 hours.
How is that possible?

1. The overworld might have actually padded the time in the last game and this game has the same pace otherwise.

2. They rushed through it just because it's a Wii game.

3. They are lying.

Those are three possibilities that occured to me, although I'm not claiming those are all of them. And I'll wait until reader impressions anyway.

The overworld thing may hold credence. SPOILERSSS In the last mission of NMH, you have to walk to the final fight.

But still, I rushed as much as I could through the game to beat it within a Blockbuster rental, and it took 11 hours. Even with the boss fights, you have to raise money (which is still in this right?) and train.

 

This game has the training, jobs, more clothes, and twice the amount of boss fights, but is still the same length as NMH1? I doubt it....

Something i've seen a lot from IGN (and this is from multiple authors over there, not just one or two) is that their estimates on how long games take always seem to be low compared to my experience.

 

But we shall see.

How did Edge magazine ever come to give the original No More Heroes a 9?!

Not that the game doesn't deserve it, but EDGE MAGAZINE? I thought they were supposed to have a reputation for being overly harsh and low-scoring. Seems to me they couldn't be more inconsistent if they decided the score for a game based on throwing dice.

I find Edge just puts more emphasis on being new and different than most other sites do.  When I look at their scores with this in mind they usually make sense.

^^ yeah, NMH1 was SO unique, fresh, and different. I loved everything about it, even the poorly constructed hub-world.

It really has a nice theme to it, a geek dude as the main 'hero' who kills people, loves otaku and wrestling. the bosses were great, but that "moe" anime line Travis says just sealed the deal, i've loved NMH ever since :)

when you like something a lot, it's easy to fogive it's flaws ;)

So even if a sequel is more polished and better overall, it's older so it sucks.

Still a dumb standard.

Now some could argue that the casual crowd turns down sequels, but they just see the name. Edge actually plays the games, so they don't have that excuse.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Indeed, I don't agree with their excessive weighting of being original, and sometimes they seem to base their scores on something different, but most of their scores seem to follow this theory.
