Can't stay in this topic too long. Anger...slowly...building...I can only read so much BS about the game lacking soul and other arbitrary garbage and NMH1 being placed on a god tier pedestal before I flip out and break something

 

[Celsior]

Maybe I shouldn't buy it again the game just lacks the soul of NMH1, and the soul is the most important part of any game.

The ONLY thing NMH2 lacks is an awesome final battle.

Although I don't think I said it explicitly in this topic, I was one of the people who thought NMH1 was a better game than the second.

I recently went back and played through NMH1 and realized I was wrong. Though, there are some things it does better than the first like combat moves, character exposition, and a few other small things here and there.

 

[vareon]

The ONLY thing NMH2 lacks is an awesome final battle.

Agreed. Both games are great (obviously with flaws) but NMH2 lacks the buildup to an awesome final battle, and the final battle itself wasn't that satisfying.

 

[G.O.O.]

I fucking hate you, Japan. I hate you so damn much, and you don't even deserve these presents because you probably won't even BUY them.

character exposition

One of the reasons I prefer NMH2 is that the characters often don't even need exposition. You "get" what they are rather quickly, they don't have to talk that much.

 

[farnham]

so NMH2 will get a release in japan soon and it will have a limited "hoppers edition" with a DVD called No More Heroes 1.5

this DVD contains an Anime Movie which tells the story between NMH 1 and 2

oh and also the boxart of the regular version

 

[Dascu]

I'm really annoyed we didn't get a deal like that.

Basically... says forget about Paradise because it was crap.

It's Ubisoft, dude. We're never getting anything like this in the US even if Marvelous wanted to. Ubi's so cheap they don't even include manuals with their games anymore.

 

[Poyunch]

No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise is being localized still, right?

Not as far as we know, nope.

Oh it must have been a rumor. Or I'm spending too much time on GAF and I dreamed it was posted here. :lol

[Wizpig]

That collector's edition... damn... I can't believe i have the shitty version published by Ubisoft with the 2-pages, black & white instructions book... damn... :'(

It is really a tragedy
They could have at least packed it with the Darkside Remix.

You mean they don't include color manuals that have more than 4-5 pages. I'm pretty sure the games still have manuals. Isn't it like required or something?

[RoboPlato]

I just picked this up over the weekend and I'm loving it so far. I'm rank 5 and am really digging it. Quick question, there are still more challenges in Ryan's Gym even though it shows all of my stars for both Stamina and Strength as full. Do I need to do these ones to max Travis out? I did the stamina one but the strength one (it costs 14k a try) is some serious bullshit.

That's pretty cool.

More than an hour later, I see what you did there
















and boy was it clever.

I try my best

 

[Femmeworth]

That Japanese limited edition is awesome. Why must Suda 51 forsake us, whom actually bought the first one?

Acceptable, though I think something like Homerun would have been more fitting.

 

[Tenbatsu]

Wow

 

[Jangaroo]

Why couldn't we get a cover like that?!

 

[Zoramon089]

The japanese cover is incredible

 

[Boney]

Tebatsu, ship me a copy ASAP!

 

[Femmeworth]

:O Seriously Suda 51, what the fuck?

 

[Scythesurge]

Why couldn't we get a cover like that?!

[SaintZ]

Gosh, that cover is amazing and the art of Alice and Margaret is pretty cool too. I'm still waiting for an artbook of the first game :/ I want all of those drawings!

HOLY SHIT HOLY GOSHDAMN SHIT

HOLY SHIT

[timetokill]

Wow

Verrrry nice

 

[riceandbeans]

Wow

I'm baffled how this game didn't get rated Cero Z in Japan.

 

[-PXG-]

It's just coming out in Japan? Really. Plus, what the fuck? That CE is hawt!

 

[Boney]

very nice shirts as well.

Heavy Censorship

And I' sick of Ubisoft being so damned cheap. no game manuals?? really!?

 

[Dascu]

That boxart is fantastic.

 

[Host Samurai]

The ONLY thing NMH2 lacks is an awesome final battle.

Hey I liked that battle. Yes more than the final battle in the first game. It was different than a typical sword fight

 

[Ramenman]

Heavy Censorship

So the game really did get censored/toned down once again for Japan ?

If not, I'd totally wait for this version to import it, given that I've yet to play NMH2.

 

[bigosc2k]

FUCK YOU JAPAN FUCK YOU, seriously they don't deserve this especially how the first game didn't sell well in Japan

 

[Shadow Red]

I just love the yellow and black color palette.

What did they change?
Is this like EUR/JPN No More Heroes 1?

 

[AniHawk]

Rank 23 and I'm enjoying this a lot more than the first one so far.

 

[Ridley327]

What did they change?
Is this like EUR/JPN No More Heroes 1?

It ought to be, which means more death scenes will be completely ruined!

Poor Alice.

 

[TheOGB]

haha, previous page

I ought to pick this game up some time.

 

[Livin_Lovin]

I wish I could read Japanese because some of those T-shirts are hot. And I want that collector's edition.

 

[boiled goose]

definitely enjoying this game so far. rank 3 or 4.

despite liking to ride the bike in the first one, streamlined map is much better. maybe they could have done something a bit in between and make it a mario like world map with some secret missions or something.

combat is still great.

bosses diverse and fun.

minigames are great.

switching swords in game = good.

Cons:

variety of extra missions seems less than first one.
loading times still terrible. seem worse because of reduced transit time.

all in all seems like a solid sequel. would have maybe liked a bit more added depth to combat, but overall still lots of fun.
