"I think I'm gay, wanna prove me wrong?" - Travis Touchdown
No More Heroes is shit. Let me rephase that. No More Heroes is shit full of passion. Clearly, Suda is just trying to work with what he had. He had the challenge of making an engaging action game on the wii. For the most part, he did *a* job. If you're reading this, you know how it works, you probably know how it feels even. The combat in No More Heroes is good- in bursts, and Suda knows that.
"I know a lot of gamers don't have a lot of patience."
This is what I respect about No More Heroes. It knows it's pacing way more than the player. The player thinks they just want to get to the next mission and do nothing but the hack & slash but as the game goes on, it grows repetitive and dull. Killer 7 has two good bosses. (I'm being nice here). No More Heroes has no good bosses. It's almost like a Pathologic affect here where you realize the combat in Pathologic is clunky and risky because fighting is clunky and risky. While killing as a career is tedious and draining of empathy and ectascy. The side jobs here are your escape, it's your exit from all of this. Leave while you still can, manchild.
"That cannibal capital makes everything sensory"
If you've read my Killer 7 review, then you got a clear picture with where I stand with Suda's nerd culture and indulgent love for video games. Funnily enough. I think it works better here than Killer 7. You see, we're playing in the role/perspective of a manchild. This is this dude's fantasty and it fucking blows. Suda is making fun of himself and people that think he's so cool and god damn, I got to respect that. I can only wonder if its coming from a position of critical self reflection or just boring self deprication.
Last thought on No More Heroes: Like this and many other works of Suda, I find myself finding enjoyment thinking about the concepts of his games, rather than playing it. I think a way to make a concept like this more effective is have the game mostly be a bus/farm simulator instead of reptitive
side job minigames. With little to no assassinations. It should be like Desert Bus with an out of nowhere, shocking hit and run at the end.
