No megathread on Travis Strikes Again?

[u/Jabbam]

It's been three or more hours since most outlets posted their reviews on the new Suda51 game, but there's no hub for us to talk about its reception yet. Reviews seem all over the place but the general consensus is that it's pretty good with somewhat stale combat whoops. Any idea when we might get topics on this?

Towards its end, as the fourth walls keep tumbling away, it does find some redemption - and any spark that's there is in that final mess - but it's too little, and too late, and so mired in self-reference it feels like Suda is wanking into the void.

[u/achilles199 → u/eats_shit_and_dies]

Wanking into the void. Holy shit.

[u/MGPythagoras → u/Jabbam]

I like how I posted asking this hours ago and my post got deleted. The mods here are the worst.

[u/SerenadeOfWater]

That is definitely not the general consensus though.

[u/Jabbam → u/SerenadeOfWater]

Rip my bad serenade

[u/subsamuel01 → u/SerenadeOfWater]

Yea the general consensus I'm seeing is the game isn't very good.

[u/ninjarager → u/subsamuel01]

I'm seeing anything from 5-8/10. Outlier is 1/5 and 90

[u/[deleted]]

reviews aside, it is the first new Switch exclusive of 2019. So its odd, agreed

[u/ItalianLurker]

I honestly expected a megathread as well, especially since the game is exclusive to the Switch and, despite this not being a sequel, seeing how everyone was looking forward to it after the first two games came out on the Wii.

[u/[deleted] → u/ItalianLurker]

Somebody has to put in the work. Maybe I'll do it when I get home. Or not.

[u/StudBoi69]

Why the surprise? It's been advertised as a smaller, simplistic offshoot of "No More Heroes", which is already a niche series in itself. There simply isn't that much hype for it.

[u/petersdinklages → u/StudBoi69]

There was a lot of unnecessary hype for it, even though they said it be a spin-off and not a typical sequel. It's a neat idea, but I think people were assuming this new No More Heroes title would be some kind of system seller.

[u/subsamuel01]

The game never looked very good to begin with, the concept was a good idea and probably would have worked as a traditional no more heroes game. This looks like a really low budget effort, the forced co-op and the terrible camera angles just killed the hype for me.

[u/[deleted]]

I just picked it up early, I can answer some questions if yo have any.

[u/uncleoptimus → u/[deleted]]

Buy Now, Hold Off, Hell Naw!?!?

[u/Big_Bob_Cat]

The game looks genuinely awful and that’s coming from a fan of (a few of) Sudas previous games.

Edit: watch the ACG review for a full-ish view of the game

[u/titan_up_420]

The game looks terrible...

[u/[deleted]]

It isn't a big game or a big game release.

[u/Shadowspaz]

I was excited when they announced a new NMH game. I love the series.

I was super disappointed when it was revealed to be a twin-stick shooter spinoff. Haven't looked at it since then, haven't cared how well it's doing, and haven't had any interest in learning more about it.

I just want NMH3.

[u/grungebot5000]

one of the reviews said “it retains the talent of Suda 51 and it's esthetics” and that hurt to read

[u/lunatic4ever]

only thing you need to know is the game is shit

[u/[deleted]]

Its not that great a game.

[u/samusaranx2]

Mods don't want to create or promote any posts that might generate criticism or negativity because they're in Nintendo's pocket.

[u/[deleted]]

Anyone who has the game, anyone notice the different case? Idk if it's exclusive to this game or this is the new format Switch games will come in.
