So much is hinted at or offhandedly mentioned, but we really don't get much by the end. Especially about Jack or his true "work" or anything, seems like there is so much story and history here and we get so few windows into it
Welcome to Matsuno. I remember translators for FF XII saying that the bible of the game - ie. his notes - were hundreds of pages long.
Also, @ ..pakbeka.. -> You are awesome for suggesting a NMH / Madworld crossover. I'd kill to play that game. In creative, Jack-like ways even.

just beat it right now. as the past few spoiler tagged posts discussed, there seems to be much more to the plot that they didnt go into. leaving room for a sequel, I'm guessing. The game was tons of fun and I loved it, but way too easy. Not even the bosses posed a threat really. I wish they spent more time with the bosses too, cuz some of them seemed really cool. The game is short and I knew this, but I would have liked to see one more area on the map (with the 3 locations within it). I'll be going through on hard starting tomorrow, I wonder if there's an extra boss or cutscene at the end if you can beat it on hard. Anyone here accomplish that yet?
The guys at Platinum Games said they could easily do a sequel but had to wait on sales of the first game to come in. It would be a damn shame if this did not get a sequel though (just like most people felt NMH deserved a sequel after the twist ending)
I wonder what would be better to do, a prequel or a direct sequel. Seems they could go either way

If someone from platinum games is reading this thread, I want to say that if we ever get a Madworld sequel, or another game with the same black and white plus red color scheme, I'd love to see the main character with a red scarf (the hero kind), it would look awesome IMO
The nice thing about a potential sequel is that it shouldn't take as long to develop since the game engine is already built for it.
As much as I'd love to see a MadWorld sequel, I'd really like to see more original IP from Platinum Games. Either way, let's just pray it sells well.

Just finished it. Loved every blood soaked minute of it. Probably going to do another play through soon.

Random question, has anyone managed to find all the "Evil Crows" (or whatever they're called)? Seems to me like finding and killing all of them might unlock something, ala the birds from GTA4. You can find the only one I know about
if someone wants to try. You can find out how many you killed in the Game Log.
on the back railing of the area where you do the "Money Shot" Bloodbath Challenge in the first level of Asian Town

Quoted again for the PALers browsing this thread.
Can't wait to properly replay the game this week and find the little secrets, I didn't have much time in the weekend after I beat it for the first time.
I see it this way too.Chozo said:
His contract with Jack and subsequent pulling off the sponsoring was all part of the plan to fool both the Bureau, to get their support and resources, and the DeatWatch, in order to make Jack the "controversial star of the show with an agenda" so they would have to follow the rules instead of killing him any way they wanted to avoid the backlash from the viewers. This way it would be easier for Jack to proceed even after they discovered who he really was while Gesser would be able to stay in the shadows supporting him.
I feel it's clear that they knew each other beforehand and that it was staged in the scene they "cancel" the contract where Jack breaks the communicator. They seem pretty confortable with the situation and Gesser even calmly says "welcome back" (to the Game).

I was let down by the final boss:
sounds like hard mode is brutal though, so I'm looking forward to it.
I couldn't take him seriously because he was comic relief previously. Also after fighting giants like Little Eddie and Frankenstein, and even a giant mech (I think his name was Martin?) fighting a man didn't do it for me. The fight itself wasn't difficult either, at no point was I feeling any pressure. BB did do a lot of damage if he hit you, but one of the geisha's tossed me an onion mid fight; appreciated, but I don't think they should've given you that... I mean it's the final boss, it's supposed to be hard.

But it had to be done. Since the game is the spiritual twin of No More Heroes, it had to have
a wrestler/boxer fighting in the Ring/Garden of Madness!
Soul mates, these games.

waitaminute... I didn't pick up on this reference, and I LOVE NMH!! Can you please explain this to me? I can't look it up because gaming websites other than GAF are blocked for me at work.
My best guess based off of what you said:
In NMH the last level was called Garden of Madness, I think Sylvia called it that via cell phone. And the boxer you're referring to is Jeane. Last stage in MW is called Ring of Madness, and the boxer is obviously BB.
Is that it? Possibly a coincidence?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
So, has anyone beaten it on hard yet? I know you unlock a couple of weapons after beating it on normal, but does anyone know if there is a reward for hard?
Nothing at all would be pretty sucky.

Gryphter said:
Yea that's what I meant (also Travis's obsession with wrestlers), but there are a lot more similarities than just that. That to me was the "final" connection and one of the more brazen ones
I made some vague mentions of connections between the two before in this thread. I just thought all those little touches were fun.
But were such good games, though personally I'd give the edge to NMH

Thank you for the first one. That's so awesome, I just got 6 Supers and 2 Extremes on the Courtyard because of that.John Harker said:
I still haven't got an Ultra Violence yet, I can't imagine how many guys you'd have to kill for that.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Ugh, Amazon, my packed is STILL in Maryland just sitting there. This has never happened before and of course the one time it does is when I'm getting Madworld.

Mine says it's hanging out in Elkridge, MD as well. It got there on the 11th, and there hasn't been an update since. Supposed to arrive today...

My Wal-Mart finally got it in. This game is hilarious! :lol
Only thing that sucks is the camera. The only other thing that sucks for "me" is that I usually shake my leg, and my hand that has the nunchuk rests on that leg. So suddenly every once in a while, Jack is doing a bunch of backflips. :lol

Actually come to think of it, I didn't get an Ultra either actually. Just an Extreme.
Which means I didn't get one Ultra all game, ha. Where do people get these?

Yep, this game is brutal on hard. You really have to save the healing items til you really need them, luckily you can run past most enemies a la Resident Evil.
I went into the save file I used to beat the game, and it gave me the option to choose difficulty. It started off like I was restarting, but when it got to the map, I was still ranked #1 and it let me choose any area I wanted. I reset the game and choose a blank save file, but it makes me wonder if I can just go into the first one, go straight to the last fight and beat it, if it would count as me beating it on hard.
Just got to Asian Town though, looking forward to RinRin

so some stages have requirements to meet, and have icon slots on the bottom left of the HUD to fill, for example, the 3 orbs in Asian Town's first area. I never bothered to get all 3, but what happens if you do? Other stages have the requirement slots as well
Gryphter said:
As far as the DW requirements, you gain items I think when you complete them
In the 1st castle stage you have to impale one zombie on every spike in the fountain, once you do all of them the fountain fills with blood...cant remember what you gain as a result
I know there is one in Asia town about collecting 3 bull masks, and one in the 2nd castle level about getting signs in the drillers

same here, I can't figure out how to get someone on it. good to you can skip these requirements if need be, though. sometimes I'm low on health and cant afford any extra battles
