Yes it really is quite sad that a brain dead high school cheerleader could be considered progessive as far as women in video games are concerned.
Yeah, that "quiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirkyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" moment pretty much sums up my feelings for this game perfectly. Still, might be cool. It definetly looks fun and "quiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirkyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy", but I still want to try Shadows of the Damned first.
Fuck you #1: It is a ninja gaiden style control scheme played with those annoying arrow keys that No More Heroes regulated to camera control duty. That simply cannot be considered good by any kind of objective judgmental scape.GamemasterAnthony said:
Fuck you #2: Pointing the wiimote at the screen to use missiles. Do I even need to say anything else?
Fuck you #3: It did not play like a Metroid game. It played like God of War/Ninja Gaiden/Bayonetta/Devil May Cry. Metroid is about exploration and oppressive crushing atmosphere, similar to Silent Hill in design terms really, whereas Other M was a linear and hamstringed. A Metroid game without MetroidVania is not a Metroid game (PS: if you're such a Bob fantard you even try to bring up Metroid Prime,you automatically lose all credibility)
Fuck you #4: Even if you could argue that the gameplay wasn't shit balls on a stick, which some stupid people seem to think they can, the story was such a horrible abortion of basic story telling and utter rape of a pre-established character the gameplay could have revolutionized the fucking industry (spoiler: it didn't, it was actually a huge step backwards in that regard) and it would still be a horrible fucking game.
That "bad rap" is totally deserved, cuz fucking your girlfriend can be the most amazing experience ever, but everyone else is gonna say she's a shit lay because she likes to hide razor blades in her vagina. Yes I think that is a totally fair comparison and is only intentionally offense for shock value to prove a point by using extremes!
It has Zombies... Damn I hate the fact that people have been wearing the undead thin! I wish I didn't feel the need to sigh every time one of them pops out at me in a sewer grate or something because I like the scary appeal they once held. Now the end of the world by zombies is just as boring as morning coffee.
Pff, haters gonna hate on Lollipop Chainsaw. Personally, it's the most fun I've had with my Xbox 360 yet.
It almost takes up the full length of my bedroom door!

Huh. I'm gonna agree with Yahtzee on this one. Juliet is definitely a better female protagonist in terms of outfit and personality than most others, but there's room for improvement. Besides, are you guys faulting Suda51 for being different? I welcome different to break the monotony of the other AAA titles!
Haha, yes, it's Robbaz. He's one of the best, if not, the best commentator on Youtube. And yeah, slicing heads off zombies in here looks like it eould get boring after not even a half hour.Mr.Pandah said:
Eh, I like it. Controls are a little clunky and Juliet's a fucking lunatic, but it's a fun little game after a hard days' work.
To Croshaw: you are such a hypocrite!
I'm sick of the fact that you act like some Catholic Priest, telling us the wrongs of how women were treated horribly, and sucking the fun out of everything. You even manage to complain that women were being treated badly in Ico and Shadow of the Colossus! A simple story about a "boy protecting a girl" and you made it into something offensive.
But then you become a hypocrite, and treat women like crap or like some-kind of sex objects. Which is weird, because I'm sure your more into men (see Dragon Age 2.... for a start).
No, I didn't like Other M, the gameplay looked boring, and I'm not sure how to feel about Samus Aran's characterization, but when you wave your finger about some great evil that was done (like you always do), I just want to defend Other M from the giant bully that is you. Maybe Other M was meant as a prequel. Maybe they thought the idea was good on paper.
