FUCK YOU SHINOBU, I KNOW I'LL NEVER BEAT YOU.

:lol :lol :lol

Finished it today as well.

The Henry epilogue fight was fun but kind of easy. The Jeane fight though reminded me so much of Devil Hand and the Vergil boss fights from their respective games.

Lyrics for Dr. Peace's song (Track #12 on Disc 3 of the OST. Placed there because

Spoiler

it also plays during the credits of the "fake" ending

).

The Virgin Child Makes Her Wish Without Feeling Anything

Despair, The End of the World
I Hear The Rising Phoenix In My Dream.
And The Virgin Child Made A Wish Upon a Star,
That Night Her Mother Talks no More.

Keep A Hold The End of the Dream
A Shining Fish Splashes in a Stream
And The Virgin Child Loses Her Heart and Soul
That Night Her Mother's Eyes See no More.

When the Wind Blows, a Virgin Child Comes Sing A Song.
Such a Pretty Melody Never Heard Before.

No More Lullabies.
The Virgin just as the Night.

second favorite song in the whole game, right behind "Pleather for Breakfast." i need to get this soundtrack NAO.

anyway, anyone else notice that Travis's phone is an iPhone? :lol

So far, I like the arrows thing for combat. You don't have to be super precise at all, and it sort of adds to the fun in a strange way.

Killed the first boss, so I'm number 10. Will continue later on.

 

[Scrubking]

Got the game today, played an hour, and all I can say is it's awesome. The combat controls are amazing and I can't imagine liking any Wii Star Wars game that doesn't do something like this.

The humor is good and the bike controls are fine. It's just that you can't expect an impracticaly huge bike like that to turn on a dime. It's big, it's clunky and it drives like it's supposed to - like a tank.

Oh yeah, and the arrows for finishing moves and throws is absolutely genius. This game has raised the bar for Wii controls.

I actually can't stand the imprecision. There are times when it tells me to slash left and I would slash right, but it still worked just fine. I'm beginning to wonder if the directions we're just put in to give you a way to slash.

I think the reason they went that route was because if it were to precise, people would be complaining a lot. I'm not sure if it matters to much as to which way you slice, but it is pretty fun.

I do think I slashed the wrong way a few times and it didn't register, though. But at very least it gives you a lot of wiggle room.

well, you don't want unresponsive controls, but if there is that illusion that you have to slash in that direction, it'll feel more necessary and therefore more engaging. it was a good idea, even if it doesn't really matter in the end.

 

[Narag]

Does it require any more precision on bitter than the earlier modes?

 

[Alts]

No, it's likely because of the threshold set for detection from the accelerometer. and you jerking it right will result in some recoil to the left.

Give me a minute and I'll whip one up.

 

[goldenticket]

yeah thats it. if it says left and you go up or down it wont do anything. same with wrestling moves but if it says right and you swing right and then bring it back it will catch that and do it.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

Has anyone beaten bitter yet? Is there some really cool special ending even though the true ending is quite bad ass? I played through it once and I think I am going to go through and finally beat Zack and Wiki or something like that now.

[Touchdown]

Shinobu's fan attack( when she's almost dead) is almost an instant kill! It pisses me off, should I be far away from her to completely dodge it?

 

[Jamesfrom818]

Crap I had a chance to get this game when I went shopping with my gf, but I didn't want to get any guff from her about buying more games. Now I can't find a copy nearby.

 

[Eteric Rice]

Is there a certain way to make wrestling moves happen more frequently?

Also, this game needs a sequel. :O Supposedly hard to find from what I'm seeing and hearing.

 

[goldenticket]

@ Jamesfrom818 i saw online somewhere that amazon will get another shipment on the 6th so i bet other retailers are the same. it seemed to sell out of its first shipment fast but you should be able to get one in a few days.

@ Eteric Rice just use the b button to stun them first and then again to do the wrestling moves. some people its hard to stun but a lot you can. like do a slash or two first then hit b and then b again to do the move. also the moves you do gets better. and yes we need a sequel, i hope it happens

By meleeing enemies with the B button you can daze them, which will then prompt you to hit the B button again to perform a wrestling move on them.

Thank you for that image, one of my favorite parts of the game.

That totally came out of left field. I figured something would happen before the countdown ended, but still holy shit!. :O

I just rented this game earlier tonight and it's amazing. I wasn't even drunk when I
was playing it. (I'm drunk now, but that doesn't matter.) Everyone should buy it, its awesomeness knows no bounds.

No drunk person can type "its awesomeness knows no bounds" without error.

 

[Kevtones]

Fuck free fights 2 and 4.

I've beaten 1,3,5,6, and 7.

BUT FUCK THOSE OTHER TWO!!!

Copy editing is my thing, if I can do ANYTHING while drunk, it's write accurately.

BTW, rent or buy No More Heroes, it's fun and you get to masturbate your sword often.

 

[Error]

Shinobu is easy.

my strategy is to keep her in the center of the stage/arena, once her health gets down to 1/4 wait for that attack dont go crazy just wait for it. you can dodge it by emergency evading it but you gotta keep EE the attack you cant stop EE it till the attack is over , otherwise she'll nail you with it. once you get over that (she only uses this move once in the whole fight) just do the usual while keeping your distance and being careful. wrestling moves and dark sidestep dont work on her because she is too fast for Travis to keep up. it's a fight that you gotta approach with patience.

 

[Companion Cube]

I'm horrible at free fights. Any tips? Should I try and round them up and pick on one, getting alot hopefully in a giant swipe? I usually end up having a guy interrupt my combo

Should I try to lure them into 1v1 fights?

 

[Nemesis_]

I'm stuck on how to get into the Rank 2 battle.

Also, did anyone notice that in the Japanese version during saving, you see Travis' ass whereas in the US version you don't? =P:lol

What AceBandage said. It shouldn't be that hard since

Spoiler

they tell you how to jump over gates before you go to the back of Destroy Stadium. Also, be ready for that boss fight because you have to slowmo dodge like hell in this battle and use lots of wrestling moves.

If it's in the parking lot, round all of the guys up and take them out 4 or five at a time with 1 death blow. In wide areas, try to take them on 1 or 2 at a time and don't go crazy with the A button or you be in a combo you can't stop, leaving yourself open.

 

[vareon]

Bought it at launch, finished it last night. Wow, it's incredibly fun :lol

I beat the game on Sweet, though, and I thought it was a little too easy. I might try again on Mild

with Tsubaki Mk-III and infinite battery of course

I just realized that the true ending

For the final slashes you can waggle in any direction and it will register.

For the wrestling moves you have to waggle as the game tells you.

Yay, got all the cards! Very good

There's even bits of info on the bosses like their ages, where they were born, etc

Are wrestling moves random?

 

[sonicspear64]

Are wrestling moves random?

Yes and no, they're different when you use them certain times. If you remember a move during a rank mission, you will always use that move on that particular boss if they're dizzied. On regular enemies, you can either grab them from the front or the back and the actual front or back throw will be random if you learned new moves. There are a couple front throws and back throws that you can learn by watching videos (purchased at the Beef Head vid store).

I know this is a little confusing to understand. Explaining the shit in this game is kind of hard and confusing too :lol !

 

[ElFly]

Started a new game on bitter...

Man, the 9# rank boss never fucking dies. He has looooots of health.

I think I will start a new game in Mild. This is too much.

 

[Great Rumbler]

It took me about 8:30 hours to finish the game and was a very satisfying experience. On the whole, the first 1/3 of the game was really awesome and the last 1/3 of the game was really awesome, but the middle 1/3 kind of dragged a bit and was too repetitive. Still, well worth the money.

Also, I really liked the reference to

Spoiler

Duke Nukem Forever

at the end.

Such an excellent review. Almost make up for the fact that I'm getting more and more frustrated of reading every reviews of this game while waiting for it to come out...
Come on, RSG, pull out an Ubisoft and get this game out early...

Traded in the awful Nights game for this and I couldn't be happier. I was sort of put off by some of the reviews but damn this game is fantastic!
