When I saw the ninja sword I instantly thought of a Kill Bill total conversion.

When I first played I trying using that NES hoping there would be some kind of minigame or something.
Later stages are a little longer but I have a feeling that you won't like this game.
I happen to like stuff like Super Meat Boy and Trackmania with the short stages and instant restarts so It's a good time for me. There is room in my heart for the more unforgiving stuff too!
What is this about a 360 pad patch? When is it due out?

Game was actually much longer than I expected. I thought it was going to be a short 1.5-2 hour affair.
Game became a little weaker once you started playing levels that emphasized guns.
edit: I don't see how using a controller won't make you insanely frustrated when your thumbstick was just a littttttle off and you missed that one guy and he gibs you.

Yeah, Trackmania's also something I've sort of fallen out of love with, lol. It's not an instant dealbreaker or anything, though. Just part of the gap between what I want this game to be and what it is. I'll probably still end up giving this a shot.

After playing it mostly with keyboard and mouse, switching to a controller felt off at first but as I progressed it grew on me. Only issue I had was sometimes I click down on the right thumb stick and target someone while not meaning to. Other than that it felt pretty good.

Just a heads up about something you mentioned in the ending
There was no girlfriend before the one that got killed, remember he was in his coma when she was mentioned, by redhead friend.

Meh, not impressive at all. Almost no combos, scary of fighting several dudes at one, slow pacing.

Beat it and did the password thingy, still missing 2 masks or something.
Really enjoyed it while it lasted, looking forward to some sort of post game extension. Only a little bit of jankyness when it came to gameplay, such as going inside of enemy hitboxes.
Also would have been nice if there was a different sound when someone is downed and not killed, sometimes couldn't tell from just the visual alone and then have then get up and fist you.

That doesn't necessarily
mean she doesn't exist.
nothing that happened before he woke up actually happened.

Everything after Crackdown is not real. It's directly said so. Trauma onwards are just fever dreams. It can be argued that the unreal nature starts earlier, for there are some talking corpses around before that, not entirely sure if that is after or before the protagonist "kills" the biker.

I guess I should watch Drive soon.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
This game needs Steam Workshop support. How cool would a (well made, with appropriate changes etc) No More Heroes demake be? And other such level/story packs. But I wonder if it's even possible since I hear it was made with Game Maker. I don't think you could easily make a level editor within that. Maybe he'll eventually release an editable version of the game but that won't be easy enough for most to play around with (plus, probably require a Game Maker purchase) and I don't see it happening soon...

I feel this is like saying Scribblenauts is easy. You get from the game, what creativity you put into it. If you want to use a machine gun, fire a few shots and have the entire mob run into your funnel then you can breeze through the game easily. But if you are using the levels in inventive ways you can create a much more hard boiled chain of events that feels amazing.

Really? That's awesome. This game is addicting as hell, "one more chapter, then I'll go to bed. One more"...
Edit - o god I think it's broken. I get errors everytime I boot up the game. And when it does start up, there is no audio. NO AUDIO. What the fuck is going on?

We're, in all our amateurish glory, trying to push video content harder, so I tried my hand at a video review. You can watch it here.
It's pretty rough, that I know. Recorded it at ~4am with a sore throat, and I've never cut anything together in my life, so I was learning as I was going. Audio needs better mixing, I need to speak clearer and tighten up the review as a whole, but for a first effort I'm pretty happy with it.
Welcoming feedback!

I agree, I think they just try and make it some sort of construct. Though wasn't one of the
janitors
It was short enough, I don't see what the big deal is. If anything the boss battles were the one faux pas. If they wanted the character to end up in hospital is it really appropriate that he shoots/slashes his way out through innocent people?
I'm not really big into the whole
coma or not
Someone might have been sent after to finish the job. The answer phone references "other" cleaners who had failed. The whole thing is a bit messy, there could be
more than one biker?
I think they were trying to elude to something there.
she slept on the couch most of the time but the beds were moved together at one stage.
Agreed. The way each acted was just too schizophrenic. And it fits with the way that we use different masks to represent ourselves.
I think they do matter. I see two possible interpretations,
literally the mafia took over those businesses or that he was undergoing some sort of paranoid psychosis and didn't trust his friends anymore.
Did not come across as a first time vid review to me. English not being my mother tongue, even though I control it quite well, I had no trouble understanding you whatsoever. Better articulation might do some good, but as it is, except for sounding decidedly australian, that was great.
I agree with your review 100% and you supported your negative arguments with video "proof". A thing most video reviews don't even bother doing.
I'd add what website you write/work for at the beginning of the review as well as an introduction to who you are.
Hope that helped.
Back to the game. I had to replay the end of chapter 11 like a million times last night. That is some difficult stuff. Love it.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
When it wants to work. It's hand though.
Once locked it's great, but don't try to lock on during a fight, it's a pain to lock on when doing nothing.

You are a natural at this kiddo. The review sounded just as good as any I've ever heard.

I was really touched by the fact that girl really took care of his house. It was dirty, covered in pizza boxes, and had nothing that could remind sane person of the word comfort. Then she came in, and started to change things one by one. Beds were nice little touch that almost squeezed a tear. I was really hoping for the guy to have adequate life in the end, happy ending. And I believe that all these changed with his house were appearing while he was in coma, aren't they? Looks like it's the guy who dreamed about simple but happy life, they weren't real.
Silent execution with Space bar doesn't require to pick up weapon of the executed.

Cobra mask is cool too, makes every throw lethal. I am now using the unicorn mask but I'm not too sure how solid its effects are. Also - story is taking a turn for the surreal at the moment, everything is so messed up. Love the flow of the game too, some massive shootouts which are totally badass. Especially how he holds the SMG sideways, so cool.
By the way, how do you take someone hostage?
Done. This game owns. Aside from some annoying rough edges like the collision detection and the occasional poorly designed section, it was a great experience. The combat is brutal and intense and it just might be the coolest game I've ever played. So fucking stylish and twisted.
Hopefully we get new levels and/or a map editor soon, because I want more. I guess I'll mess around with the puzzle stuff for now.
