Hellfire Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Is it just me, or is Heavenly Star reeeeally addictive? I played the video on the tv in Travis's living room, and I was just like...this is pretty awesome. Can't wait to play more of this tonight. Long live Genki Rockets! Can't wait for them to release a new CD or single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramar Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I got this yesterday and I managed to squeeze an hour or two of play today. It's a very interesting game, very unique. Oddly I really like the art style, music and the voices. The style just seems to work really well. The fighting gameplay is fun, but pretty basic (this could be because I have it on easy setting and because I'm not very far). The HUD has some nice old school 8bit touches that I like, though the minimap kind of suffers. So far I have two gripes, firstly I find the shadows a bit too much at times, sometimes it's pretty dark to see stuff. This could be down to the awful tv I was using. Second is the bike is a bit crap to control, I really don't like the turning and the button use. It just doesn't work for me. Hopefully I can find the time to complete the game, I definitely think its one of the better Wii games available. But so is Galaxy and I never got round to finishing that.

Boomstick Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Don't know if theres much interest in the game anymore but here's a new NMH music video I made Natural One http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aotcmsHVCS8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I haven't played as much of this as I would like, but my placement is finishing soon, so there will be time! But, I'd like to say that the lack of blood really isn't THAT huge an issue as I originally thought it was going to be. In Killer7, it probably suited it more. In this game, it's fine the way it is. Actually, looks awesome the way it is. I just hope it doesn't get repetitive. So far, there hasn't been as huge an emphasis on the story as there was in Killer7, and that helped stop the game becoming a chore. So far, the action is fun, and I just hope it stays that way.

EchoDesiato Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Don't worry, the story will show up eventually. And it'll be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I played this for about 3 hours earlier. I dunno where the time went, it just flew by. Really fucking loving it. I thought the combat would feel repetitive by now, but it's really awesome. I've been exploring a little, like collecting those balls to give to that drunk guy. Completed some jobs, and was told I had enough money to give in the ATM machine. On the way, I stopped at Area51 and got too many new clothes. Which meant I spent another half hour running more jobs to get some money into my pockets. Also, much love for Holly Summers and...DESTROOOOOOOYMan. DEEEESTROOOOY BEAM!

nekunando Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I.. don't My version is blood free.. but it was still fantastic to play through I will definitely go back to play through it again, perhaps even this year.. I feel I went through the game far too quickly first time around It was out a week or two before Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 came out so I kinda wanted to get through it before I would dedicate my evenings to late night Pro Evo online.. For that price in Currys, it's unmissable : peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolness Bears Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I neeeeed to get back into this game. I only ever got up to Holly Summers! Damn her rockets and my lack at any skills. Thing is I normally play on the easiest setting as I fail but I accidently selected the middle difficulty and so it is more challenging to me! I may give a whirl this weekend!

Nolan Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 No, the perks of importing The perks of...Both? I followed a recent Lets Play of this on Something Awful. Some watchers were convinced to go buy it, others were sad that they sold or never had a Wii. Plus the ending got a lot of "WTF" from people. They also seem to think everything needs a logical explanation. So there are page long discussions of theories on wheter Travis is crazy or, soandso imagined it.

Dante Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 No More Cel-Shading Heroes! From GameFaqs: So a friend and I are working to port the models from No More Heroes into GarrysMod (a modification of HL2 that allows you to import source compatible models and pose them to your liking - or create things with the various props and tools that are available) and we ran across a stunning discovery: The models actually look really REALLY nice without the cell shading. Now, don't get me wrong - the cell shading is part of the experience that makes NMH look so awesome and I wouldn't have it any other way, but I was outright amazed when he sent me the beta of BadGirl for initial testing. It really makes me wonder what the game would've looked like if the cell shading had been skipped completely (as all this is, is a model port without applying the cell shading filter as a specular or normal map). So, I figured that I'd just drop off this promo image here of the beta port as an example of what we're working with, and if any other characters make it to the beta stage of the porting process, I'll be sure to leave more screenshots (we're currently planning on BadGirl, Sylvia (not sure which version we're porting though) and Travis for sure - as it all depends on how long it takes to get these ports working). NOTE: for those wondering, yes this image was edited in Photoshop - but the textures on the model were NOT modified whatsoever. This is only a "lighting and color tone" rework, nothing more (read: I don't have the time NOR skill to create a realistic looking fake for something like this, so please don't even go there).
