Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes |OT| Directed by Suda51
- Thread starter NotLiquid
- Start date
Finished the game, had the day off and well... Not sure what happened with the time hah.
I enjoyed the game but think that it would have been much better if it was shorter because all levels feels way longer than they need to be. I could see myself play the levels more than once for a higher score if they were shorter with only the good parts. Because the gameplay, as someone put it, actually allows for you to improve and do different builds. So if the game was more about high scores and an online leaderboard I think it could have been a super cool experience going for the top.
Music and presentation was awesome as expected. I got the digital season pass bundle and really looking forward to the DLC, hopefully they can improve the lesser good parts with those.

Great, thanks.
Yeah the boss killed me and I had to use one life to continue ^^
Went to Target during lunch to pick up a copy, but they didn't have it. Ordered off Amazon, will get tomorrow.
How's the HD rumble, if any?

Just picked this game up today and phew it feels so damn good to have Travis back! Still in the opening level though. Just beat the mid boss so I'm hoping it wraps up soon and I can try out the other games!
some spoiler stuff
There's rumble. It's fine but a bit too powerful.Q
Did he just casually say that he has a wife and kid ? I'm losing my mind over here

Yeah, it's easy to miss this because for whatever reason Electro Thunder Tiger II doesn't show its opening cinematic unless you idle on the title screen (and most players likely won't think to exit the game and check the archive entry for the game which also lists details about the protagonist). Nonetheless, several of the bosses end up having some surprising pathos or some kind of plot relevancy.
EDIT: unless you were talking about Travis in which case yeah hot damn that's a revelation

this game is not fun to play, at least for me. level design has always being the weakest part of no more heroes but at the least in those games I remember the levels being short. in this one not only they are overly long, they also added terrible gimmicks that makes them a pain to play.
it should've been a collection of mini-games for real, lmao.

If you know about the Sudaverse (Kill the Past), then Travis Strikes Again is shaping up to be the ultimate fanboy's wet dream. I'm shitting myself over here
Is the entire game playable in co-op?
(I know the adventure parts are probably not, but I mean the "campaign".)

Yeah it sure seems that way except for the "hub" of the game, it's very fun in coop because you can screw with your teammate too

If you played 25th Ward, I have a spoiler question
Are Red Ribbon and Bruno the same as Aoyama and Akama from the blackout chapter ?
There are dozens and dozens of indie shirts in the game. It's really cool.
I'm still on the fence about this. I love No More Heroes but I'm not sure if I'm sold yet with the mixed reviews. On the plus side, I can get a physical from Best Buy with GCU for $30.99. But i'm not sure if i'll play this or not.
Dang looks like it's sold-out online at most major Canadian outlets (EB, BB, Amazon). My pre-order copy is waiting for me and I was on the fence to be honest, but impressions in this thread make me reconsider it. I'll probably go pick it up tomorrow.

Holy shit. Fourth boss is the real deal.
Level 4 in general is probably where the difficulty ramps up big time. First time I got a C rank.
He managed to stunlock me into his poison mist and shave off about 50% of my health while I was downed. Smoking King doesn't fuck around.

you should pick it up, if you love NMH theres no reason you won't love this
I love how nonsencial this game is. Beat the first stage and saw Travis quip about how the boss was a childhood heros of his. And how sad and empty it makes Travis feel having killed him. Then if you read the archives you find out the game Travis is talking about a game out 3 years ago lol.
Can you always go back to the trailer and return to the last save or do you have to quit the whole game?
edit: I love the "TV"-effect. The same effect is in Killer7 (save rooms/ character switching).
edit2: You can return to the last save, awesome!

Hmm. The first game came out long before in the arcade, the sequel is for the Death Drive II as well as the other unreleased games, and all have commonalities and unstated purpose. Hint: Travis.

Holy shit. I just figured out what makes Shining Chip so good.
I was under the impression that it's supposed to be treated as a shotgun, but if you hold it while using it, it's basically a gravity gun. You can then use it to fling enemies into other enemies for more damage.
This thing is AWESOME.

The game is fun (though occasionally repetitive), and Suda's isms are on overdrive. At worst it's serviceable. It's also only $30 ($40 if you go physical), so you don't have much to lose.
Gameplay is repetitive but not easy (except when you play on easy, lol)...just like in (almost) every Suda game. Everything else is SUDA51.
Uhh say what?! Did I just see
motherfucking Garcia hotspur
I don't mind repetition (musou games are one of my favourite genre after all) so it sounds good to me. I'll pick it up tomorrow then, thanks for the help!

Uhhhh did they just throw shade at John Riccitiello? LMAO
Yeah, only bathrooms save.
Also, the story stands well enough on its own. Think of it as how you don't really "need" to watch every MCU movie to watch an Avengers movie, it just makes you feel more rewarded for having done so. I'm sure you'll be familiar with some stuff if you have any knowledge about the games.
did you play NMH 1+2? Or Killer7? I'm pretty sure you can have fun with this game without playing his older games but there are so many references...
I acutally don't understand Jim Sterling btw. He said he loves NMH 1+2 but he hates this game....I can#t understand this. Opinions...I know but a Suda game is a Suda game. NMH 1+2 are just as repetitive as TSA. And this is definitely a NMH game.
I've played everything from Suda except Lollipop Chainsaw and that baseball game on Kinect.
What the hell is this, lol.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're going to enjoy this game. Combat is simple but not easy, the presentation is amazing (just like every other Suda game) and the soundtrack is great. Oh and I hope you like to read because there is a lot of reading in this game ;)
So I was right......what the hell is this game, I might have to get this earlier instead of waiting now haha
Diabolical Pitch, a game where you gotta throw baseballs using motion controls to defeat zombies.
....I completely forgot this existed.
So maybe it's because I'm using the pro controller, but having to click the analog stick then move the right analog stick left & right feels kinda weird. Shaking the controller is a bit better, but having to do so while still holding down the analog stick still feels a bit off.
