So thanks to Hurricane Sandy I had no school today and that meant I could finally get back to my long neglected console games! So I spent the last hour and a half finishing up No More Heroes. I wanted to play this game ever since I saw it on Sadie's Gaming Infection (god only know's what happened to that girl) wayyyy back when I was in seventh grade. Now since the game is rated M my mother of course wouldn't let me buy it because she already thinks I'm a weirdo that I play video games (thats what you get for not getting cable tv for our house for the past 17 years). So now over the summer I was really bored and ended up watching a bunch of lets play videos and this game caught my eye once again. So on my seventeenth birthday I finally got my hands on this game and I absolutely loved it! Whenever I was in a bad mood I'd start up No More Heroes and kill a bunch of assassins! Hoorayyyy!
There were only two things that annoyed me in this game. First of all was how long it took you to make enough money to enter these ranking battles. I absolutely hated the stupid side job missions because they took so long and you got shit pay from them. I usually ended up doing all the free fight missions (which I absolutely sucked at) and finding the highest paying assassination mission and just doing it over and over until I made enough money for the next ranking match. This is why it took me sooooo long to finally beat this game because I'd get so bored of side missions that I'd forget about the game for a few weeks. The second thing I hated was the controls on that damn bike! I'd be in such a rush to get to these side missions that I'd crash it into walls on multiple occasions and when I'd get back on it I'd be facing the wrong way. Being the impatient person I am I would try to turn around too fast and would end up crashing again into the opposite wall.
I enjoyed this game overall because there were a lot of different elements to it. Sometimes I'd get bored and would end up walking around every little area on the map to find extra cash and tshirts in various dumpsters and also finding those lolikov balls. I remember how excited I was when I unlocked the ability to run faster! After that I said "Fuck You!" to the bike for a little bit but then I realized that whenever your energy would run out you'd have to stop for a little to catch your breath and I was just too impatient for that shit. I'm pretty sure that I also got every single one of the weapon upgrades, and all those tshirts. I beat the game with the "real ending" and surprisingly I only had to face each boss one time except for Bad Girl. For some reason she gave me a really hard time and it took me like 20 tries to beat her.
So that pretty much sums up my experience with No More Heroes. Now I just have to somehow acquire enough money to buy the sequel.
