When the icon pops up open the menu and go to Juliet's Stash. Switch to the last tab to see the list of phone calls.
It's a pretty awkward implementation.

He (Jim Sterling) absolutely did not say that. What he said was:
"Review will happen on Tuesday and I am embargoed until then. I'll let slip that I absolutely did not not like it."
Read it carefully.

niiiiice.
Finished stage 1 and I'm already loving it way more than SOTD and NMH2. Playing on Hard to begin with and I'm like the combat now that I've unlocked some more moves. First boss fight was great and I can't wait to see the rest.

Lol 2014 makes so much more sense. WB probably only owns licensing right till then probably. Sorry for the heart attacks guys.
Ah I see, thanks that was bugging the hell out of me.
Dazing definitely takes a while too. Hard is designed more around when you have most of the upgrades. I'm doing normal for act 1 and it's much more tolerable.

I also ordered it today. How's Hard difficulty everyone?
Anyone also wanna give me a costume code?

Like I stated earlier, hard is very rough and not particularly fun. It definitely seems more oriented for the second time around. Normal is fine, it's a little on the easier side but it's not overly so.
You want to upgrade your attacks before doing hard difficulty. Unless you're crazy.

I died a few times during the first stage since I was getting used to the controls and such, did much better in the school but still a good moderate challenge throughout with a few tricky parts. However, the fucking Birthday Cake scene was a bitch on hard but I did eventually beat it. Some extra enemies are added to hard mode as well, which are these really powerful and not found in the lesser difficulties.

Will be going with Normal for my first playthrough then. Looking forward to playing this crazy game.

Is it one of those games where you can play harder difficulties with a carried over file/stronger character which makes it a bit easier? Lords of Shadow's Paladin mode was pretty pointless when you had the strongest light and shadow attacks which were super overpowered.
Seems like it, as you can do stage select and choose different difficulties per stage.

Just finished the first boss...
This game is fantastic. It's not nearly as responsive as I keep wanting to play it as, but I think a lot of that will be remedied with picking up more abilities.
The humor and presentation are EXACTLY what I hoped it would be and then some. I'm honestly surprised at how solid everything feels so far. Also, coming off of NeverDead into this had carried my lust for demolishing the environment to the point of madness. MUST DESTROY DESKS!
Like, this is a totally great game.

;_; If I got the PS3 version I would do this in an instant, but unfortunately my code is for the 360 version and you have one for the PSN. But I had to skip out on the Evil Dead costume which saddens me greatly... I don't care much about the Rockbilly costume so wouldn't mind the opposite exchange... If only we had it on the same console.

Once again, if someone has a 360 costume code (any costume) please PM me since my Amazon order won't have a code as I ordered it a day late.
SADFACE! Gah, we're Lollipop Chainsaw brethren on different consoles! We'd trade in a heartbeat!

Oh man that's awesome. I bought the game a few hours ago but haven't played it yet. What I mentioned about Lords of Shadow is one reason I loved the game, as it let me just keep beasting through the game with all the shit I've bought and learned. I hate getting all these awesome powers like right before the last boss in videogames. RPG's are notorious for that shit and I hate them all.

Exactly. Since it's already short enough, I think I'll play through Normal and then move up so I still have surprises instead of just playing it on hard and whatever so if I went back to normal and be like "oh, there isn't that enemy here. not as awesome a surprise as having a new enemy popping up but okay" lol
I hope it's still $44.99 tomorrow. Waiting for tomorrow to get a $5 amazon code cuz I only need 9 more points on bing.

Took my time in Stage 1, shame I got penalized for it. Anyone know where to view "Dad's High Score?" It says you get shop stuff unlocked in the shop for beating it, but not sure what score I'm shooting for.
Sparkle Hunting is awesome - makes you play a little bit differently. Really pays off, I've been able to buy everything in the shop so far. Make sure you smash everything in the environment for extra coins! Stage 1 has coins hidden in lockers, garbage bins, soda machines, etc.
Agreed. I was a bit worried this game was going to turn out to be garbage (too much emphasis on the sex appeal lately), but it's been an absolute blast. Whoever said that this game feels like a "deeper" version of No More Heroes was right on the money. The control takes just a bit of getting used to, then things click and the game feels smoother and smoother with each new combat ability that gets unlocked. I think this is going to turn out to be the number two beat-em-up behind Max Anarchy this year.

No, not yet. I honestly think you'll be fine with either. No problems/slowdown/fps issues with the 360 at least.

Anyone willing to trade the GameStop preorder code (Ash) in exchange for the Amazon preorder code (Rockabilly)? I believe the Rockabilly outfit looks like this:
NA 360 version. PM me if interested.
NA 360 version. PM me if interested.
Not sure if posted, but "songs from the soundtrack" page is up, and it's available at Amazon:

Jus picked it up right now, and... Is it normal to be stuck on the bicycle loading screen for several minutes when you first start a game? I can't tell if the game glitched or if it's installing :l

I've got a solution for anybody who didn't get their Best Buy pre-order costumes.
THE PROBLEM: When the game was picked up, the cashiers should have added a SKU for the costumes to the transaction. There is a very slim chance they knew to do this, however.
THE SOLUTION: If you already bought the game from them and want those costumes, return the game and have customer service re-ring the transaction with one of the following additional SKUs:
SKU 5012424 (Xbox 360)
SKU 5012433 (PS3)
The costume pack will show up as costing $9.99, but when on the same receipt as the game they become FREE when the cashier hits total. This also means you can just outright buy these costumes for $10 if you really wanted to. The code for the costumes will now be printed on your receipt and also emailed to you.

I never had loading taking minutes
But my game froze up on stage 1 before a minigame. I think it had something to do with the update it did before since after restarting the system it didnt gave any problems (The opening cutscene had a lot of screen tearing)
(Ps3 version BTW guys)

There must be a huge difference in difficulty here. I'm playing on hard my first time through, been playing almost the last 3-4 hours straight and I'm only at the
in world 2. The only thing I got stuck at really was the birthday cake scene, and I took one 20 minute break to eat, but then I think the zombies have a lot more health and are a lot more punishing on this difficulty and there's more of them.
I'm thinking people who claimed it was four hours must of been on easy or something since I haven't even been dwindling in areas much beside to destroy scenery for medals.

Mine took like over a minute and I thought something was wrong but then it worked so I dunno.

I just tried again. Weird thing was, when I selected "quit game" from the XMB, the PS3 actually turned of and restarted. She's still spinning and the music is playing while the lollis shake. It's been 3 minutes and Target has closed so I can't exhange this :/

At the birthday cake scene on hard, can you still dropkick zombies to take them out easier? It draws them away and makes them one hit kills.
Mine took several minutes also. I don't know what's up, 60gb original.

Yeah, that's what I did, don't really see how else you can keep up otherwise.
