Lolipop Chainsaw anticipation
 

I was at Gamestop, looking for a certain game, listen to the trailor for this on accident. It sounded so stupid, and quirky. I figured it was just some shitty xbox360 game that a bunch of middle schools will buy. When I turned around, I saw with my own eyes something I never thought I'd see again. The art style, the style of the game itself, a mix of American culture with a hint of anime.
"It looks like No More Heroes." When I said this outloud to myself, the man acorss the counter smiled.
"You know why?"
"Same company, I assume."
"Same guy." he said.
My eyes shot open. I looked up, watched the rest of it. I actually begun to understand the uniqueness when I looked passed the "lol zombies" part of it. I mean, really. A cheerleader killing zombie rockstars with a chainsaw. That's... fucked up. No prep or cheerleader would buy it. No goth kids or nerds are gonna buy it, due tot he preppy skin this game is wearing. It's literally marketed to nobody. I looked on the dispaly case. "Order now and gets skins for your character such as Jimmy Urine". This sounded so familiar... When I got home, I looked up Jimmy Urine. It's the lead singer from MSI! All over youtube, interviews with Jimmy on subject of the game. So I figured "might as well look up the ost..."









A few of these songs make me assume this game takes place in the 70s or 80s. But those are just a few of them. It also has a song by Skrillex, MSTRKRFT, and others like Dragon Force and Arch Enemy. It happens to be my favorite Arch Enemy song.

Over all, with a wide variety of weird and badass music, zombies and cheerleaders, two things that should never mix, and the art style and most likely the gameplay of No More Heroes, I'm stoked for this game. I've preordered and fully paid for it. No I just have to wait. Once I beat it, I'll be doing a fullscale review on Zelaron.

Why does this exist?

Because Japan willed it.

You know you want it.

Japan does have a powerful will. Though luckily it's created things like pokemon. Sadly, then there are things like this.... It makes me wonder how desperate they are for new ideas over there.

That game looks terrible.

"That game looks terrible." - Blizzard fans

Yeah okay.

Not true! I'd buy it if I had a console.

I'll just have to wait for them to port it to PC.

Really? They've taken a crappy game and dressed it up with tits. They aren't trying to make a good game, they're trying to make a shitload of money on the fact that basement dwelling gamer nerds are going to buy the game for the tits, and they're throwing zombies in for extra effect.

Did any of you play this game? It was basically the same sort of marketing ploy, though a little less blatant about it. It was also a terrible game. If you really expect that this game will be anything but terrible you're the very sort they are looking to cash in on.

This would seem to support that theory:

I'm not really interested in he least about the tits. It's mostly the hope that it will have the same influence NMH had on me.

I don't think this is really news to anyone, Skurai. I'm glad you're being open about your homosexuality now, it's good to be the best you you can be.

But, K_A, this forum only has room for one gay.. which means......

I'm not gay. WHat does thta even ?

Skurai, it's okay to be gay. We won't hate you anymore if you are.

I have an girlfrend.

I know a gay man that has a wife and 3 kids.

Well there, that settles it. Skurai is gay.

Thus, all men with wives are gay.

The voice of Juliet (the main character) was the same voice as Bubbles from The Power Puff Girls and Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Considering she's going to be yelling "Fuck head" "Eat shit" and a tone of sexual remarks, this is going to be odd.

Nobody cares if you're gay.

Then why do they care that I'm straight?

I was just on Youtube and saw an ad for this......

How did it make you feel?

Dead inside.

/v/ doesn't like Lolipop Chainsaw.
Instantly confirmed for good game.

You... go there? You're even worse then I thought.

Of course not. A friend told me. :x

Somehow I don't believe you.

Compared to everyone else, you barely fucking know me. I've had personal, hands on encounters with everyone else other than you. They all have a good reason to not believe me. You don't.
And for your information, I don't go to /v/. A friend of mine named Noah told me. Gamestop called today, the game should be in by Wednesday.

O.o chill dude ... this isnt a free for all match ... i did see it in game informer and said the only reason i would play it is if i was way extremely bored .... and thats hard for me to get to.

lolwut

U mad bro?

What happened here?

And now to K_A for the summary run-down of this thread's events.

Pic broken, please try again.

Let me interject. Summary of thread: Tits, gays, tits, 12 year olds.

And in the end, the game is great. :o

It is? I honestly would have never expected that.

Yeah, it's nice. I got the Jimmy Urine and Ash skins right off the bat, since I preordered, and I'm playing on hard mode. I'm worried it might be a bit short, though. Game play is very fun, graphics are average, if not above average, and the music is FANTASTIC~ the story, well, it's interesting. It feels like there's room for more, but since you've basically been thrown into absolute chaos, the story probably only starts to thicken as the game continues, from what I can tell. Voice acting is above average, too. The bosses are fucking excellent (what else should I expect from Suga51, considering all he ever thinks about are the bosses?) and I'm always a little sad when they're over. Oddly, boobs are actually MINIMAL, and you can't look up her skirt (she'll put her hand in the way and stare at the camera, angrily, then you get a trophy), so it's basically the opposite of what (you) people expected it to be. Also - that fucking God it's not the "omg virus" zombies. It's voodoo zombies (the way it fucking should be).

gameplay: 9/10
graphics: 7/10
soundtrack: 9/10
story: 6.5/10
voice acting: 8/10
Overall: 8/10

Story will probably go up a bit, as time goes on.
