how would that work on a 360 pad?

With this, I guess you could just rotate the analogue sticks...

[The perfect Dark]

would you recommend hard difficulty for the 1st playthrough or did normal prove sufficient?

normal was no problem for me and I hate hard games :D
and you'll buy combos throughout the game so it does get easier until the end

Does it have any annoying mechanics like the "jack off motion to recharge your sword constantly" like no more heroes?

hmm...Quick time events maybe. They are not frustrating though.

btw: Boss battles are amazing!

This is a double with Gravity Rush for me as well.


I hope my local EB has one of their staff dressed as Juliet again when I pick it up, but even if not, getting Beetlejuice as a pre-order bonus is pretty damn awesome.

[unconnected]

I'm so confused with this..

[dokish]

ONE OF THE FINEST OT I'VE EVER SEEN!

But isn't the boss section super spoilerish? I mean, I don't wanna know how the bosses look like.

I need thissss

[Amir0x]

If you don't like Suda51 games you will not like Lollipop chainsaw.

Ah. I was wondering if it would stand apart somehow, but good to know. Thanks.

[Tizoc]

Just noticed that 2 of the alt outfits are from Highschool of the dead.

The ninja outfit is from Manyuu Hikencho-

Wait, WHAT?

[Tensketch]

I'm only just recently getting into the Suda51 games, having picked up Killer7 (£5! not played it yet), NMH1 (EU version, the censoring is terrible), NMH2 (brilliant!) and Shadows of the Damned (short, but enjoyed it). So I'm naturally hyped for LPC.

Also, am I wrong in thinking the preorder costumes can be unlocked in game also? as the UK doesnt appear to have any.

[Inorigo]

Just noticed that 2 of the alt outfits are from Highschool of the dead. The ninja outfit is from Manyuu Hikencho-

Yeah, that's because this is also a Kodikawa property. The HOTD artist did a piece with Julia and Rei and Saeko.

[ponpo]

Getting for anime outfit DLC. Must support such sadlifery whenever possible.

[Inorigo]

Getting for anime outfit Unlockables. Must support such sadlifery whenever possible.

Fixed :) They're all Unlockables, guys. The pre-order bonuses will probably DLC, though.

Don't forget Flower, Sun and Rain too while you're at it.

[Square Triangle]

I love all of their previous games but I feel like this is going to price drop fast.

why? its the only one to get any marketing

[disappeared]

why? its the only one to get any marketing

Yeah, the amount of marketing for LC kind of came out of left field. Way more advertising than their previous stuff.

[SpacePirate Ridley]

So is the Saeko outfit unlockable, paid DLC or not at all in the western versions?

EDIT: And that happens to me for not reading the whole OP. lol

[Gorki247]

Not according to the official twitter feed; the pre-order ones won't be made available as DLC (we'll see though, as I would love to get the Ash and Jimmy Urine outfits).

Really...? That's surprising. Turning down easy money.

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Are the bosses as good (interesting) as the bosses in NMH, like do they have their awesome dialog before fighting that makes the memorable?
Is it longer or shorter than NMH1? and what about 2?

[thetrin]

I did have the prime trial, but I can't justify the annual cost when I do so little shopping on Amazon. I'm guessing the preorder just comes with a code? Wonder if it's reusable...

Fair enough. I get all my games from Amazon, so Prime pretty much pays for itself.

[The perfect Dark]

Are the bosses as good (interesting) as the bosses in NMH, like do they have their awesome dialog before fighting that makes the memorable? Is it longer or shorter than NMH1? and what about 2?

YES (dialogue: not all)!

It's shorter than both but has way more replay value than NMH 1+2

[THACHITS]

Awesome OP. Can't wait to play this badboy this week. Nice to hear the boss battles are good

[SpacePirate Ridley]

YES (dialogue: not all)! It's shorter than both but has way more replay value than NMH 1+2

Well, that means that even without a PS3 or 360 I already know what I going to gift to a friend so i can play it also lol

[Xevren]

YES (dialogue: not all)! It's shorter than both but has way more replay value than NMH 1+2

Sweet action, can't wait.

[Carnby]

I cancelled my amazon pre order today. I'm just not convinced that this won't be the same failure that Shadows of the Damned was.

["God's Beard!"]

Is that... keyframed?

[ZealousD]

No More Herpes?

I have no idea why I just said that, but I did.

[goMaki]

Day 1 for me. I have been looking forward to this game ever since it was announced. I'll be getting it along with Gravity Rush, another game I am so looking forward to. Now to just figure out how to juggle playing those two games along side of my current addiction to Dragon's Dogma...

[Metalic]

God, I'll feel embarrassed buying this game.

[The perfect Dark]

God, I'll feel embarrassed buying this game.

why? this game is tons of fun

[LiK]

Fantastic OP

[GrayFoxPL]

I finished it after 5 hours My score: 9/10 Gameplay: 7/10 Graphics: 6.5 /10 Sound: 9/10 (dat OST) Replay value: 9/10 Unlockables: Combos Costumes Soundtrack Concept art Difficulties Level-Up your Character + many Collectables + Extra modes This game is like no more heroes...just better. If you don't like Suda51 games you will not like Lollipop chainsaw.

Was it PS3 version?
Please.
Does it have motion sensor gimmicks, like shaking to do something?
This is buy or no buy for me.

[Himself]

Forgot it's a Yamoaka soundtrack. Interested to see what he does for this.

Word on the streets is that it's short, but has good replay value. Not a problem for me, but my question is where does the replay value come from? The combat? Branching scenarios? Just plain awesome fun?

Also, did the rumored rhythm style gameplay ever show up?

[The perfect Dark]

Was it PS3 version? Please. Does it have motion sensor gimmicks, like shaking to do something? This is buy or no buy for me.

Sorry 360 version ;)

btw: no technical problems at all. no screen tearing, no slowdowns (okay medicore graphics), nothing to complain about

I can't remember the last third party PS3 game I played that actually used the Sixaxis. I wouldn't worry too much about motion controls. Just because NMH used them shouldn't make you think LC uses them.

[clockpunk]

Not according to the official twitter feed; the pre-order ones won't be made available as DLC (we'll see though, as I would love to get the Ash and Jimmy Urine outfits).

Oh damn, I don't suppose you have a reference link for that, do you? I've been asking them that for months now, to no official response.

If so, it will be extremely annoying, as over here in the UK only Amazon are offering bonus costumes (Goth and Rockabilly)... no-one has the Evil Dead piece!! :-/

[MetalGuardian]

Looks like a ton of fun but I can in no way shape or form justify purchasing a five hour game. I will probably just beat it twice on a rental or something

[Chacranajxy]

Retailer-specific DLC is so, so stupid.

[Volcynika]

I will purchase this video game.

[TheHakku]

Retailer-specific DLC is so, so stupid.

Yes it is. I love that Ashley Williams outfit, but I'm not going to bother preordering for it.

[GrayFoxPL]

That's exactly why I'm afraid. Couldn't buy NMH because of this. :(.

[D15GR4C3D]

This game could very well be awesome, but I don't think it's a must buy for me...

[Dimmuxx]

It seems like all the five pre-order costumes will be included in the nordic edition.

[Bumhead]

This looks like way, way too much fun to pass on, but I'm going to wait for a price drop. This type of game combined with bomba UK market suggests I should wait the two weeks it'll take for this to hit £20.

[Infernodash]

one of the costumes looks like Shiro's from deadman wonderland. My interest has been peaked.
