Yeah, Giolon, the models were always good-- they were just in blurovision with that shitty filter. They look great on PS3.

[xandaca]

Really glad this has arrived on HD consoles, the Wii version is my favourite game of this console generation so it's great that it has the chance to reach a wider audience.

For those who are enjoying it and interested in some of the themes Suda plays with in the game, here's an analysis of the NMH series (including Desperate Struggle, so beware spoilers) I put up on my blog.

One of the reasons I love Suda's games is unpacking all the inspirations and themes, so it would be cool to hear GAF's own thoughts.

 

[Roto13]

I played the demo and I can't imagine buying this game unless I get a Move. It's really not fun with a standard controller. Love the Wii version, though.

 

[kiryogi]

Well it's even more of a step up on HD consoles as they've added shaders and whatnot. Seeing that pic of Bad Girl up there really makes you appreciate it.

 

[Gravijah]

does this have any rearranged music?

 

[Lostconfused]

Man this game is messed up. And I think I hated right until the last second until something snapped and I just accepted how awesome and trippy the whole insane thing is.

 

[Urban Scholar]

Same soundtrack like the Wii version with some of NMH2 in there for extra boss fights,

Thus you are no longer lost and confused

 

[Xevren]

I always wanted to play No More Heroes but I never had access to a Wii. My copy showed up yesterday and I'm in love with it. Game plays just fine for me on a dualshock so I'm a happy camper.

 

[DeVeAn]

What really upsets me is this is the third release and there are bugs in the game that should not be. I start the mine sweeping job and the game freezes when I try to smash the mine. Twice.

For me since I was there day 1 on the Wii, I feel let down with this port. At least the HD part looks decent.

 

[Xamdou]

The big question is: Does the game still have the Heavenly Star song?

 

[WickedLaharl]

This game has insane screen-tearing.

 

[DeVeAn]

Anyone else having issues with the mine sweeping job? It won't stop freezing on me.

 

[CatPee]

Ugh, anyone else having problems activating Dark Side? I've only gotten it to kick in twice, and one of those times was unintentional. Move button + T almost always gets me either a beat or a slash.

Are you using DLC weapons? I'm hearing on Gamefaqs that's whats causing the issues.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Why does the front of the box say something like "music downloads not rated by the ESRB"?

The big question is: Does the game still have the Heavenly Star song?

According to the OP, no. It's really not a major loss. It only played while in the clothes shop and Naomi's place, and most probably don't spend a lot of time in either location. Plus, the US Wii version didn't have the music video, so it doesn't seem like a major loss. It is a bit disappointing because I did like that song.

It was also played in the background during the limo rides with Sylvia, but yeah, it's not too major of a loss.

 

[graywolf323]

how is the game with a controller? don't really have the money to get a Move just yet

 

[jooey]

but yeah, it's not too major of a loss.

Likely because it's ALL OVER THE INTERNET

Perfectly playable, I platinumed it with a DS3.

What track plays at Naomi's shop if Heavenly Star isn't there?

Just an arrangement of the main theme.

sweet, good to hear

 

[DeVeAn]

Well that's it then because yes I am. Ugh.

Popped the Wii version in holy shit, looks worse but the "feel" was way better. Maybe the better framerate or controls.

 

[Urban Scholar]

Make sure you aren't doing anything else and press move and t button together when you have a stock. Always works for me

 

[CatPee]

Man, the battle with

Spoiler

Shinobu

was so incredibly tedious.Attacking her head-on is no good, and the dodge snaps you out of lock-on for a bit. Not to mention that if she or you were standing behind a pillar, you couldn't lock-on to her. Took me 3 tries to finally defeat her.

By the way, I found a bug with the Lawn Mowing job. Tapping L1 a couple times while holding down L2/just after pressing L2 and Travis is still in the turning animation will allow you to freely move around as you would normally. Got all 100 acres of grass in 40 seconds. I played with a Move, so I dunno if this would work with DS3.

 

[Mockingbird]

I vaguely remember that too - but it doesn't open up until you've killed 8 bosses :-/

And dear god this game looks so hot in HD

Somebody pinch me!

Best chara in the series right there.

have you PS3 players, playing for the first time, discovered the shadow dodge yet


Shaves 20 minutes off boss fights

Darkstep? Yeah. I've been meaning to write details on it. However I think original Wii players like myself spread the word on it enough for others.

Guys if you want to write this up I can in between my studies. It's one of many hidden mechanics in the game

 

[Roto13]

Wiggle the control stick left and right to dodge an attack and activate Witch Time. There, written.

That's how you do it? I thought the sidestep and Witch Time were always random.

Yeah I kind of figured it out in like the last 30 seconds of the last boss fight. Can't believe the game doesn't tell you about that at all, probably the reason why I hated it so much for most of the playthrough.

Pretty sure you just have to hit the movement stick in any direction when Travis blocks an attack.

Edit: Or wiggle it when blocking I guess. Well whatever works.

 

[MjFrancis]

That's pretty funny, I'll have to use that next time I fire this game up. I only played the first boss fight and I thought that it was taking entirely too long. It was just a bonafide grind.

To clarify further guys: While locked on to an enemy and blocking. Rapidly move left and right on the controls and Travis will get into darkstep, every time. Like mentioned before it's like witchtime, everything slows down and you can unleash enough slashes to constantly get foes into dizzy. You can follow up with lucha libre action or continue with more combos.

 

[PARANO1A]

Ordered this for a pretty reasonable price online, looking forward to trying it.

I was looking to pick up a Move controller + navigation controller to play this but I can't believe how much they cost. I already have a PS Eye so I expected to walk out with simply a controller + nunchuck for ~$50 or so. What the hell? No wonder it's not taking off :/

 

[daviyoung]

That's it. Dodge, slay the bejesus out of them. It's a cake walk.

I loved this game on the Wii, can't imagine it without waggle though. Isn't it incredibly easy and boring with DS3?

 

[Rahxephon91]

What a shitty port. For some reason I have an encountered a bug where a can not buy the last beam saber and thus not see the real ending.

Fuck this game.

 

[Alien Manobo]

Fuck me! Just purchased this game and the installation process is stuck at 0%.

Been sitting here for 30 minutes and still no progress. I still have 7GB free space.

 

[Yoshichan]

Sorry if this has been answered... but how do I unlock the "dressing room" or whatever it's called? The Red Zone?

If you mean the character viewer, it's DLC.

Oh! How much money ? Does it exist in EU PSN store?

 

[TGMIII]

Oh! How much money ? Does it exist in EU PSN store?

It came out a week after the game released in EU. I think it's £0.99

 

[Napalm_Frank]

So the american version has more extras than PAL version that released before?

 

[Yoshichan]

Perfect! Thank you sir!
