Lollipop Chainsaw

I'd feel bad if the game does badly myself, but even then... I don't typically buy games new and freshly released. I always give them a while to be affordable. Especially since I no longer work at the moment.

So, I'm hoping it receives decent enough scores and sales. Not expecting anything spectacular as I'm sure the devs themselves do as well.

I would think the maximum hope would pretty much be hoping it does as good as No More Heroes does.

No More Heroes - 500,000 worldwide
No More Heroes 2 - 300,000 worldwide
Shadows of the Damned - 240,000 worldwide

Pretty sad that SotD, despite being on 2 consoles instead of 1, sold the least. It isn't fair these games don't sell. I hope Suda stays strong and true to his game design despite it all. Tho if Suda ever made a FPS I'd probably play it hard despite my dislike for the genre.

It seems like they have a thing where they make original games, and if they need to get funding again, they make anime-licensed games to get money back.

I'd like to see Suda51's take on a first person shooter, besides the FPS segments in Killer 7.

Speaking of, I feel the need to play that game again.

I need to play it, I own it but haven't. Feels shameful to call myself a Suda fan until I do. Bulletstorm seems like a Suda FPS lol.

I guess the reason is people don't like something new and creative nowadays.

I still not played No More Heroes (can't find the Wii version anymore and I heard the PS3 version is a major downsized version of it) but Shadows of the Damned I waited on, and no matter what I did I just couldn't get into it. Mainly because I hate puzzles where you start dying after a while anyways. And there was just too many things that just didn't feel right with it. It wasn't a bad game it just didn't feel better than most other things out there.

Although to be honest it was that Biggest Boner section that I stopped playing on. Failed about 20 times, got sick of the cutscenes and put the game down. Never went back to it.

And if I felt Shadows of the Damned was average, I'll certainly be waiting until Lollipop is reduced before tackling it. Although it also depends on what state June/July is for other releases. If we don't have many other releases then than I'll probably pick it up anyways

[Buuhan1]

The Big Boner segment is suppose to be frustrating, that's... why it was made. Suda is infamous for often putting such moments in his games as a way to "troll" the player, but he does it out of love so it's okay. Example, there was a side-job in No More Heroes that was dreadful and people complained about it.

He copypasted it into No More Heroes 2 and made it worse. XD

New Japanese trailer, hitting all the Otaku notes.

[Buuhan1]

The official Twitter account stated that the US release date will finally be revealed this week.

[Buuhan1]

Finally. June 12th.

Also, another (maybe last?) zombie rock lord revealed: http://www.siliconera.com/2012/03/05...urope-in-june/

Wonder why Japan's getting it a month earlier. Unfair~

[Zack]

Maybe they feel it'll sell more there? Don't Suda51 games usually sell more in the west? Or am I wrong on that?

[Captain Katsura]

This could be Suda best seeling title just based on the concept appeal.

[Wagomu]

Can I play this game as a punk rock zombie or a viking metal zombie mowing down hordes of ravenous cheerleaders? I would pay for that game.

You suggesting you wouldn't pay for THIS game?

Ah very good. Some month left but it's OK.

Something irks me about a game where I kill all of my favorite characters as my least favorite character.

[Hiroy]

Awww.

That's too bad :(

[Buuhan1]

The villains are suppose to be cooler than the protagonist. Kinda a rule of thumb in most media.
