I still cannot comprehend how the Euro scores are alll good, but the U.S. scores are poor!

First GameStop I went to insisted that it wasn't out yet. Called another cross town, they had it and I just went there. Weird launch.
Great color manual. Really appreciate the extra effort.

Yeah, I went everywhere to get the game, BestBuy, Target, Wallmart, KMart and none of the stores had the game in stock. I called a few GameStops and finally found two copies that weren't reserved.
Just couldn't leave without one of them
Picked up my pre-order today (guy was surprised I had a $50 off coupon from Power Up Rewards). Though for some reason, when I try to redeem the code for the DLC content on Xbox.com, it says "There is a problem with the offer associated with this code."

When No More Heroes came out, I had to go walking in the snow to find a store that carried it IN JAPAN.
Suda is not loved.
The japanese voiceover seems to be out of sync. So I suppose the english one is your better choice.
Unfortunate. Was looking forward to some nippon yelling.

When GAMEINFORMER says you're bad, you're pretty fucking bad. Suda just can't make a good game if his life depends on it.

Managed to pick up the fan edition for £40 figured I would treat myself.
This game definitely seems to be marmite.

None of my other local outlets even carried it, hence why I ended up going to GameStop. But yeah, today was about Miku and KiD. Good day.
Terrific video. Thank you for sharing it.

I still will get this at 20 bucks. I've like all of Suda's stuff, but reviewers are probably much harsher on the jank at the tail end of the generation.
Yo, check it, here's my review. Game's pretty James-quall-in'. Picked up my PS3 version and it screen tears like a motherfucker. Worst I've seen in awhile. I was barely following this game so I had no idea what I was getting into when I picked it up. I really bought it out of my undying support for XSEED and the fact that I still love quirky Japanese action game. Combat's way more interesting than I expected, digging the feel of the battles WAY more than Loli-poop Chainsaw. Game's got perfect doges/guards, all that hip, cool, boring stuff that action game fans should like so I'm all good on that front. Play the game on hard, perfect dodge/guard the first boss fight, and don't use Mika tickets to revive during the battle if you die. Feels pretty gnar-bone if ya' play it like that dawg-noses!

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
uh 6.0 usually means decent, so yeah.
They originally told me they were not getting it in today but I got a call around 4PM and they did get it in. The box is smashed though, unfortunately but nothing is damaged.

Damn, I'm having a good ole time with this game. The cinemtic camera work is A class. I really love Mondo's attack animations and let's not forget that sexy dash animation. Actually, the game's overall athstetic just seems, I don't know, cool. But yeah, the tearing gets bad, the floaty camera is a pest and the framerate is having a love affair with the sub 20s.
Anyway, back to slicing up assholes!
Edit:
Thought about mentioning it in my post but ultimately decided to go ahead and omit it. Awesome, awesome design.

Wanna check the artbook out, but the contents page mentions spoilers, so I'll probably wait until I beat the game before looking at it.
At the very least, the first few missions have been better paced, similar to MNH, where as Lollipop Chainsaw just made me wonder how much longer a mission would last & probably could have had some stages split up into two separate levels.
Also HOLY CRAP, THAT FIRST BOSS.

I still don't think the director has been announced.

On PS3, the tearing went WILD while this static animation was playing on a TV.

He was 'executive director', whatever that means.

These reviews do not surprise me. I'm also glad that several review point out how stupid and poorly written the game is.
I will, however, suggest that the Polygon writer who devoted a whole paragraph to detailing why the game is offensive avoid using "spastic" as a way to describe the game.

Huge fan of Suda and Grasshopper. Will definitely be picking this up. The game looks great.

Whoa, weird glitch! Right after a cutscene, Mondo just kept repeating his punch animation over and over with no input. You could move him around while punching but it didn't stop until I pressed triangle. I recorded it with my phone, maybe I'll upload it to YouTube or something.
Edit:
HA! You can even see the TV screen I mentioned earlier. Dat tearing.

Going by Lollipop Chainsaw I can't say I'm surprised by the reviews, that game was absolute shit...
It doesn't seem like GM are a very technically competent team.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Shadows of the Damned was awesome.
