Chris the great Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 im going to hang fire on buying this, wait and see if theres any development on a freeloader or the like to get the bloody version from the us.
flameboy Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Having now watched a bucket load of movies and trailers for this, I have to say I still stand by what I said before that I prefer the lack of blood. The effect that happens when you kill enemies in the EU and JAP versions both looks cool and feels like it fits in much better with the general feel of the game. Blood isn't everything. A game can still be great and even violent to a degree without it....
mr_bogus Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Having now watched a bucket load of movies and trailers for this, I have to say I still stand by what I said before that I prefer the lack of blood. Do you have any links to video/s of the EUR/PAL version? Blood isn't everything. A game can still be great and even violent to a degree without it.... Killer 7 couldn't work without the blood, it was an integral part of the gameplay.
Guest Maase Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 No, but in Halo/Bioshock you have a reason for killing somebody :\ In No More Heroes, it just doesn't make sense at all :S
EchoDesiato Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 No, but in Halo/Bioshock you have a reason for killing somebody :\ In No More Heroes, it just doesn't make sense at all :S He's doing it just so he can have sex with the chick in my sig.
Vicar Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 any news on the "We need blood" revolution or is it just over?
Hellfire Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 He's doing it just so he can have sex with the chick in my sig. I would do it! Also, do you only play games for their story? How old are you Maase? I sense some inexperience my Mafia Padawan. Also, you are not an Underboss! Change your sig!

Yeah 1up.com go to 1up Show and look back a few weeks it was on there. they were reviewing the import... I dont think this is the same as Killer 7 as the non blood killing fits in with all the other retro references through No More Heroes.
mr_bogus Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Ok just watched the import impressions http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/16811 and i see the red "monty python amount" of blood has been replaced by a more subtle amount and it's black. I didn't think my want factor for this game could get much higher, but this video made it happen. Killer 7 was about collecting the blood to use as serum, as well as the odd special move like Kaede's wrist slash to reveal hidden messages.
Domstercool Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Looked awesome on On The Spot last night. I have to say though I do like the blood, gives it that crazy Japanese feel, you know manga stylish, aka Ichi The Killer.
Guest Jordan Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 I have to say, i'll miss that blood. It looked totally nuts and hella fun to play from the looks of things. Ah well, i'll still be buying it.
Guest Maase Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 I would do it! Also, do you only play games for their story? How old are you Maase? I sense some inexperience my Mafia Padawan. Also, you are not an Underboss! Change your sig! Im 13, but it doesn't matter :\ I need a reason for killing guys, even Mario Games have one reason, damnit :\ This is killing, killing, killing, killing, i bet there isn't any cutscene about any story :\ A game without story sucks, period And ok, i didn't know that makes diference what i am in the signature or not, im now a Consiglieri, geez :S

I'm just kidding. But change it. Seriously. Now you don't know where I'm coming from! change it Aaanyway there are sooo many games without story that are awesome. Not to mention that this does have a story even if it's not as deep as Killer 7's. Games are to be played for fun everything else is just accessory.

And the game's story is a guy called Travis buys a lightsabre off eBay and sets off on a mission to become the world's number one assassin by killing the previous best assassin's. In order to have sex with said hot chick in EchoDesiato's sig. Reason enough for you?

In order to have sex with said hot chick in EchoDesiato's sig. Reason enough for you? exactly, surely that should be the motivation behind killing people not the blood?!!!! Everyone should read the NGamer review and watch The 1up Show from a few weeks back that will make any doubters see how the awesome effects fit in with the game....Its just another little touch that lends itself well to Travis' position as cool geek.

Yep, as said in the NGamer review it's effectively the ultimate homage to videogames and geek culture, which is what I love about it.

Vicar Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 DUDES AND DUDES Long story short http://wii.ign.com/articles/843/843635p1.html My water just broke do you know what this might mean? USA rate the game-they see how important the blood is 1+1-2+3= there might be more chance we will get the blood version
Chris the great Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 all violence, and indeed behaviour is linked to sex, according to eveolutionary psychology. to put it simply, fame, power, wealth. all is ment to get us to pass on our dna.

USA rate the game-they see how important the blood is 1+1-2+3= there might be more chance we will get the blood version I very much doubt that will happen. About time people get over the fact that we are getting a censored version...
Owen Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 I think releasing this before Brawl was a very wise decision. Jan 22nd 2008 for USA Now.
RedShell Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 I think releasing this before Brawl was a very wise decision. Jan 22nd 2008 for USA Now. Very wise indeed.And nice to see a release date moving forward for a change, although it would be even nicer if it was the European date. You definitely importing then Owen?
