Grrr... is anyone as tired of that stupid Slim Jim ad as i am? Thankfully, Yahtzee's review more than made up for having to watch it yet one more (expletive deleted) time. I can't say I was interested in this game, and am less so now, but I still got tons of amusement watching Yahtzee eviscerate it.

Can we stop the Slimjim ads please? Slimjims are nasty. Watching the same stupid ad before every video I want to watch does not make me want to eat that crap.

At least make the annoying ads relevant to the site, which is to say anything related to gaming would at least be tolerable.

Plus I was all like "He mentioned Rebecca!1!! OMG!1, I need to write a Blog about this!!" In my head I mean. I don't blog , but my brain went a little bit mental.
Oh very nice back peddle there though I must agree the mentioning of her name woke me out of my morning stupor. I never really got into No More Heroes. Not the fault of the game really, just the fact that my Wii never registered any movement. Oh, see what I did there?

Besides, I thought there was a port of No More Heroes coming to the 360?
Only the first one, and so far only in Japan (it's actually been out since April). It hasn't been picked up by any developer for release in the rest of the world and, honestly, at this point I don't see it happening.

Like a lot of people, I thought getting rid of the sandbox was a positive thing. In the first game, it became completely redundant after you'd finished going around collecting all the stuff from dumpsters and those ball things. I haven't got very far into it (for the same reason it's taken this long for Yahtzee to review, fucking PAL localisation times) but I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far.

Ah, that'd explain why I didn't know what they were talking about. Sort of forgot that The Escapist ever had ads, to be honest.

No More Heroes is to games as I am to being God. Unlikable assholes are what pass for a cast, bad controls (both on the Wii-mote/Nunchuck and Classic Controller), horrible camera, horrendous graphics and mini-games so blurry, I almost went blind looking at them.

I raise this question, again [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/6.208256-Question-of-the-Day-July-6-2010#7058176]; why do so many people rate this game with high scores?

If Rebecca didn't have a problem with your immaturity beforehand Yahtzee, It's best not to compromise your integrity
It was definitely worth the joke, though.

Still going to play this, though I do appreciate Yahtzee's ability to counterbalance my blind adoring fanboyism with hardline, unsatisfiable snark. So thanky you, Yahtzee, for never ceasing to find flaws with the Wii. Without you, I'd be a much less tolerant (and less tolerable) fanboy.

Great review, didn't really think much of the look of the first game so I'll miss the sequel. Also not having a Wii is a factor too.

Loved the jab at Rebecca Mayes! :D

The Escapist must really want revenue hits since there is absolutely nothing but complaints (as usual). You will hear less contract-obligated moaning in a maternity ward.

On the other hand...No More Heroes 2 does very little to expand the concept of the original so I suppose any praise one might have given before would simply be covering old ground.

It blows my mind that Suda 51 keeps forcing you to do menial tasks in between the power/laser sword fights. I mean, if I were a Jedi-knockoff and just offed one of my longtime personal rivals in an epic duel with laser swords, obviously the next thing that comes to my mind is helping my neighbor mow his fucking lawn...right?

The Rebecca Mayes joke was just perfect.

Great review :)
Lulz, ya, I loved it. Now I can't watch a review without a cheap laugh at Rebecca's expense as she will forever be known in my head as a woman who gets stabby with those who aggravate her.

Like a laughable version of Jason Vorhees. Good times.

This took me back.

The No More Heroes review was my very first ZP.

*Thinks of previous, fun days*

I guess I'll play No More Heroes 2 at about the time I get around to finishing No More Heroes 1.

There's quite a few titties in my containment tube, but they're all two-dimensional, and therefore compatible with No More Heroes 2.

Another snipe at the Wii, and its relevance as a gaming platform, eh? Ho Hum.
Anyway, just as amusing as ever. I certainly laughed.
If it makes you feel better,Yahtzee, those black Wii-ess-three controllers that came with Monster Hunter Tri are much better for big tough man hands...
Of course, it only came with MH. Not entirely sure why that is. Unless they've released it seperately, while I wasn't looking?

Yes, I heard about containment tube zero-zero-five-one.
The only one with a entertainment-feed malfunction, tragic.

Also, yes, I found it kind of odd how Travis is surrounded by girls who he either has to murder or flirt with, I don't find girls very sexy with giant holes though their heads, but that's (video game) life, I suppose.

Yahtzee's gotta make his mind up- does he want the anti-Red Dead Redemption-toy-box that forces you to keep track of your hunger, confort, strength etc in a real test of prolonged survival,

OR does he want games to realise people have real lives and don't have all the time in the world to do a grind? He's said both but I've no idea which one he actually means... if any.
