No More Heroes 2 (YEA!!!!!!),

Glad I'm not the only one super excited for this game.

Easily the title I'm most hyped for coming out in the next half year.

and I'm still thinking about buying that Modern Warfare 2 Xbox bundle. I've been tempted and pressured into buying one for a while now. and with all the games I want for it coming out this winter(MW2, Left 4 Dead 2, Bayonetta), why not get the best value with a game I was interested in otherwise?

[Ichipoo]

Seems that KOEI is making a new Fist of the North Star/Hokuto no Ken video game. Now I'm not into the series like most people, but it looks REALLY good.



GAMEPLAY VIDEOS (there's no sound though )

[PS3/360]Bayonetta 10/10/10/10

Bayonetta gets perfect famitsu score

To kind of actually get an idea of what a PERFECT FAMITSU SCORE even means I googled other games that got 40/40's from them

1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998, Nintendo, for Nintendo 64)
2. Soulcalibur (1999, Namco, for Dreamcast)
3. Vagrant Story (2000, Square Co., Ltd., for PlayStation)
4. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (2003, Nintendo for Nintendo GameCube)
5. Nintendogs (2005, Nintendo, for Nintendo DS)
6. Final Fantasy XII (2006, Square Enix, for PlayStation 2)
7. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008, Nintendo, for Wii)
8. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (2008, Konami, for PlayStation 3)
9. 428: Fūsasareta Shibuya de (2008, Sega, for Wii)
10. Dragon Quest IX (2009, Square Enix, for Nintendo DS)
11. Monster Hunter Tri (2009, Capcom, for Wii)

Welp

[Kajiba]

Bayonetta got a 40/40 for the 360 version and 38/40 for the PS3 version. Lol.

I'm hearing the PS3 Version problems got fix in the final build anyway. So people can get it for whatever system they can now.

[Ulquiorra Uchiha]

Yeah ur right!!!

[Allen_ST]

Bayonetta gets perfect famitsu score

I don't know man,I don't trust reviewing sites based on scores anymore,they been handing out perfect 10's too much lately,like with GTA IV and SSBB,I mean I don't think they are bad games or anything but 10/10?,I personally don't believe they deserve it.

Maybe Is just me but everyone is getting a little bit soft lately.

PS:Hokuto no Ken game looks kinda nice but I hope all generic thugs give a little more of a fight in the actual game,the manga was like that though,Kenshiro killing everyone without a drop of sweat xD.

Sucks that the video doesn't have audio though x x,a Hokuto no Ken game can't be complete without TATATATATATA!

[busterbladex]

The games I look forward to:
X360:
Bayonetta(.......Do I really need to explain...)
Final Fantasy XIII
Left 4 Dead 2
Ninja Gaiden 2
COD: MW2(It's getting good)

Monster Hunter Wii(May actually try this series)
Super Mario Galaxy 2
New Super Mario Bros. Wii

That's it.

Although, I'm hella excited for Bayonetta and Tatsunoku Vs. Capcom the most.

[Mr. Mister]

I'm getting Phantasy Star 0 and Modern Warfare 2 sometime this week.

Then Bayonetta and No More Heroes 2 in January. Both are titles I've been anticipating for a while

and that's about all I'm interested in coming out in the next half year.

oh I'll probably pick up Gundam Vs Gundam Next on PSP in December as well.


On the subject of Bayonetta, the 5 disc Soundtrack surfaced. I downloaded them off rapidshare and uploaded them to mediafire for another friend so figured I'd link the folder here as well. Credit goes to some dude on FFShrine for the rips, and another for conversion to MP3 and English tags

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=b8ee6cf8cfebd66ce5c3dee5769931ecc9ff4e8703d11f31d8c7c6998cb4ca21

January is going to be an amazing game month for me.

No More Heroes 2(Didn't even played the first one)

What?

Go fix this. Seriously

No More Heroes is one of my favorite video games, as flawed as it was. and I think more games should be like No More Heroes(as in approach to creating games. Not necessarily in style or gameplay)

As someone constantly accused of hating everything, it probably means something when I say I like a game so much

it's like 15-20 bucks now go get it.

[Allen_ST]

the 5 disc Soundtrack

5 discs?!,WTF?!,the Dragon Ball recopilation soundtrack with everything from the first DB to the final of DBZ has only 4 discs,5 discs for a single game is just exaggerated.

[Mr. Mister]

Okami Ost was also 5 discs

So it seems par the course for Kamiya's games

and it has alot of decent tracks. I'm enjoying it

[Kaizer Rose]

I recommend playing mana Khemia 2: fall of alchemy and persona 4.Both of these are really good games especially the persona games but mana khemia might take some time getting used to though......

[Kajiba]

Been paying attention to a game called Darksiders. Never really talked about it.



Can't wait for this game. The W.O.W look throws alot of people off from this game for some reason. But man fuck that noise. The game honestly looks interesting. I wish more people were following it than they're now. Its basically getting overshadowed by all the big hit games that are out or coming out. Some people don't even know about it. You should

[Katsu_kid]

the 5 disc Soundtrack

5 discs?!,WTF?!,the Dragon Ball recopilation soundtrack with everything from the first DB to the final of DBZ has only 4 discs,5 discs for a single game is just exaggerated.

I'm pretty sure Suikoden V had like, 6 discs for all three chapters (Dawn, Twilight, Sun)

[Mr. Mister]

Yeah I don't think that's alot

Dragonball just kind of

used the same songs throughout the whole series


and my friend was talking about Darksiders at work the other day but I had no idea what it was

It looks pretty cool.

but that's the same day as Bayonetta. and with No More Heroes 2 at the end of the month I'll probably put it off for a while

I hope a demo is released. I'd like to try it out.

Kajiba with the eye for quality as usual

this sounds like it'll be pretty cool

PS3/360 port of the first No More Heroes with updated graphics and a mode where the girls wear slutty outfits

: s

Oh well maybe people in Japan will actually play it now

hell maybe people in general

[decoy logan]

Actually thats great to hear. (Gave my Wii to my sister).

[Mr. Mister]

The game came out 2 years ago

That's a NMH1 remake/port


Desperate Struggle is still wii only at the moment.

[decoy logan]

True enough, but what's exactly different from the first to the second (besides story)?

[Mr. Mister]

Length. first game is 10 ranked fights(bosses). The sequel has supposedly 50(but also stated that you'll fight some bosses at the same time and some as the other characters.Also there will be cases where you'll have to defend your rank from lower level challengers. So it doesn't sound like it'll be as formulaic as the first)

2 new sword types(double and long sword) They say there will be 4 types in all but I think the other 3 are just the 3 swords from the first game + long sword with double katana being a side arm.

2 additional playable characters(only at certain segments in the game)

They addressed the major complaints with the first game. The huge lifeless city was addressed by condensing the city and adding more to do in it. Job minigames people didn't like are now replaced by 8-bit job minigames that look alot more entertaining, and the side quests are now linked to the story and more compelling than the run around the huge dead city and collect shit like the first one. Also the bike controls have been revamped to be less gay.

Also they claim the enemy AI will be more advanced so the game will be more challenging but that's a claim.

Basically it sounds like it addresses all the main flaws of the first game while being a much larger package at the same time. Exactly what a sequel should be.

Can't wait

[Serenade]

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle

Platform: Wii

Rating: Mature

Content descriptors: Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Partial Nudity, Sexual Themes, Strong Language

Rating summary:

Players assume the role of Travis, an anime-watching assassin who
fights his way through the ranks to become the number-one assassin.
Being an assassin means using a retractable katana blade (i.e., a laser
sword); it means slicing, chopping, and dismembering human enemies to
death in this highly-stylized (somewhat "cartoony"), cell-shaded action
game. The depictions of violence in the game are intense, yet somewhat
exaggerated: men in black suits are sliced in-half as blood and money
flow from their bodies; an assassin with a boombox does not recover
after his lower torso has been chopped off—after blood shoots from his
empty waist like a geyser; and two women (clad in bikinis) get
suspended in mid-air, get caught between the flashing lights, lasers,
and frenetic sword swipes of an assassins' duel—the women's heads slide
across the floor once the men stop fighting. Cutscenes depict more
dismemberment: assassins slicing each other into several pieces in
slow-motion, enemies pulling their own heads off, characters displaying
trophy-heads on silver platters. These over-the-top depictions of
violence account for the Mature rating; they also account for the
Intense Violence and Blood and Gore descriptors. The language is
strong, too, as characters sometimes use the phrases "f**king a*shole,"
"f**khead," and "You gotta be sh**tin' me!"

The game contains sexual overtones and partial nudity. Players can
watch portions of an anime show called Bizarre Jelly; the opening
credits depict a female character whose clothes suddenly disappear,
revealing her bare buttocks (one-to-two seconds). Game dialogue
contains sexual references, including the phrases "dirty nympho," "the
one that's throbbing," and "I feel like that pervy teacher in a porn."
Female assassins are depicted in low-cut tops, thongs, short schoolgirl
uniforms, and fishnet bondage-style outfits; breasts and buttocks
jiggle, and the camera often lingers (there is no equivalent physics
applied to male body parts). A couple of cutscenes contain strong
sexual innuendo: when characters enter a store, a surprised clerk
struggles with his belt buckle and zips up his pants (e.g., "I was
just. Uh, doing inventory."); a woman moves a katana blade in front of
a man's groin, kneels down, and kisses it (the blade), causing the
retractable laser to extend. The battery meter for Travis's sword is
always represented by a cartoon-like penis icon in the upper-right
corner of the screen: as battery power runs out, the icon starts to
shrink—a sad face appears.

No More Heroes 2 ESRB submission

I find the way it's written in contrast with its content pretty funny

[decoy logan]

Two games I really have to suggest that everyone gets; Bioshock and Dead Space. Two of the most scariest and amazingly well done horror games I have ever played. If you're a fan of Resident Evil you definitely have to go and buy those games. Not to mention you can get both for $20 or under.

[Vahnyamato]

The guys who did Guild Wars and Aion are doing another MMORPG named Blade and Soul. This game looks really really really really fucking pretty but I'm not really a fan of MMORPG's. This game is so pretty I'd be willing to give it a shot and it's coming to the PS3, so I can buy it w/o having to worry about how I'ma play it on my bad PCs.

[Kaz]

Damn...

Game looks amazing. And characters' designs are pretty great.

Will look forward to it.
