No More FREAKING Heroes!

Post by **CronoTriggerfan** » Sun Jan 27, 2008 1:51 am

How is there not a thread about this game yet? It's supposedly the best action you can get on the Wii, and perhaps any console of this generation. Personally, it's one I've been looking forward to for quite some time. That being said, I'll be picking up a copy tomorrow along with the Orange Box. Please don't tell me I'm the only one! 3rd parties for Wii deserve our money!

My friend bought it. It's extremely over the top - lots of blood, decapitating, and 8-bit graphics thrown in to mix things up

An interesting game, my friend has it. The weird mash up of 8 and 32 bit graphics looks odd, but it looks to be a fun and funny game.

I will rent it, and I will think about buying it.

Its not out yet in Canada. Got delayed because of french manuals not being thought of until the last second. GG -_-

Just got it, can't wait to play it!

Alas, homework comes first. I'll give my reactions later. And HDC, if you think about it, you're technically getting it on time, since originally it was coming out in February, but for some reason, they just sort of arbitrarily bumped up the release date. When did they do that, anyways? I never even heard anything until last night!

I plan on getting it too, depending on how good you say it is

I think you guys are forgetting Brawl. Just because it's delayed a month (It's not unlike Nintendo but threw me off guard, Smashbros.com made it seem like it was nearly done!) doesn't mean it isn't the best anymore!

What, there can't be more than one good Wii game in existence?

He said best, not good. Yay reading.

And Kurt the game is done, it comes out in Japan next week. The supposed reason for the US delay is mostly for online play(beefing up servers, making sure it runs smoother), since US gamers care a great deal more about online. Also I think some VO stuff needed to be done.

There has also been RUMORS going around saying there may be a shortage.

Wouldn't doubt it. With all these delays, production is surely lacking. Good thing I've got mine reserved!

Oh, and NMH kicks ass. I only played about an hour, but everything is over the top; the combat, violence, dialogue, story, neat music, and crazy graphics just skyrocket this game to sweetness. I heartily recommend buying it if you own a Wii. This is an absolute perfect reason to hate those asstards over at IGN. First they give KH2 a terrible review, and now No More Heroes. I wonder how they even managed to budget time to write these reviews with an already full schedule of playing Halo DS and eating babies?

You made me laugh, CTFan

The only problem I encountered was a kind of clunky camera system when walking through hallways, but that's my only "con" for the game. It didn't hinder gameplay much.

It's what I do.

But yeah, I noticed the camera problem, too. I found myself tapping the Z-button every now and then to center things. It's a bit annoying when you're just paroozling around, but during combat, the auto-lock pretty much fixes all the camera issues, in my opinion.

I've been trying to peg this game for a while, and I think I've got an accurate representation: Imagine a Quinten Tarrantino movie, only replace the dark humor with slapstick and sexual inuendos. Bam! You've got NMH. Now I'm just wondering how to budget my time between playing this and starting The Orange Box; don't shoot me, but I've never actually played a Half-Life game past 1!

Wow, IGN were being dicks when they reviewed this game, a 7? Well like everybody says, you can't spell ingnorance without IGN.

Every other reviewer except for one who gave it a 6/10 (A magazine) Hell even Xplay gave it a perfect 5/5, they don't hand out to many of those, especially for 3rd party Wii titles.

I will be sure to pick this up somtime, but can't now as my money is going toward SSBB, then I will worry about NMH, then Mario Kart.

I think the 3rd party games are gonna start catching on and get better if NHM sells well.
