So I pop in No More Heroes and even the Wii splash screen for the disc has a weird feeling. As the game loads I’m presented with two options for my difficulty. Sweet and Mild. Perhaps sweet is easier, but I’ll take that for now. If this is anything like Killer 7, I’m sure I’ll [...]
The usage of the Wii-mote in NMH is solid. But right now I just got a phone call in game, and when Travis, the main character, answers the phone, the voice comes out of the Wii-mote’s speaker. So, obviously, to hear it proper, you have to hold it like a phone.
Inconceivable!
Enforcing a personal media blackout on games makes for interesting results. I had no idea NMH had a GTA like feel to it. There are missions to accomplish besides the main story ones, and to access the story ones you have to get enough funds.
The missions are… odd. They range from ‘assassination’ missions, where you [...]
Fuck yes! Garbage collecting! You can talk smack if you so desire but hell, it brings in the monies. Right now I’m starting to enjoy riding around Santa Destroy as the amount of things I can do is slowly increasing. More missions, more shit to collect and buy. Good ‘tings. Problem is sometimes Travis’s bike [...]
I’ve been quickly climbing the ranks in NMH. Before I challenge the rank 5 assassin, I’m taking some time to clear out some of the sub missions for loads of cash. Well, actually I’ve been doing that because I’m not sure how to get to the fifth assassin. The map marker is off in the [...]
So I’m playing NMH, get to a loading point, and the game gives me a screen similar to the “Wiimote connection lost” one except it’s asking me to remove the nunchuck. Eh?
So I do, and then I’m washed away to a vertical shooter. Unlimited continues, thankfully, as I suck at shooters. But that was pretty [...]
“I hated how she kept saying ‘Dondake~ dondake~’ like a stupid bimbo.”
[Note: Dondake is a current 'fad word' in Japanese. It kinda means "what the hell?" Apparently it started in the gay community and found its popularity when a crossdresser named IKKO used it...somewhere? I don't know. All I know is my kids say it [...]
So, I finished off No More Heroes. In one big sitting. I just plowed through the missions and battles. It was a blast. This is probably my top game of the year. It’s just that fucking good.
Its story has its confusing points, but they’re supposed to be there. The genius is how meta it is. [...]
