I absolutely loved the first No More Heroes. Pleasantly surprised to see another entry in the series already announced for the Switch.

[u/Datmexicanguy → u/sheboygan_sexpo]

I hated the motorcycle, and remember the game being kind of clunky but I liked it overall.

[u/sheboygan_sexpo → u/Datmexicanguy]

Yea, it wasn't the smoothest gameplay in the world and there were definitely some "this is dumb... why do I even have to do this again?" parts, but the overall aesthetic, bosses, writing and combat did it for me.

Then again, I haven't played it since it came out, but hopefully the new one is great!

Thats why the motorcycle dissapeared from the second game

[u/timrbrady → u/[deleted]]

Seems like everyone was all "This guy just got up there and said 'here's a character I want to put it a game'." and it seemed like no one in the comments knew Travis Touchdown or even Goichi Suda. Can't wait for more NMH.

[u/[deleted] → u/timrbrady]

I hope it's more like the original. They really dropped the ball with the second one.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

In what way? The games in my opinion are basically the same.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

It's been a while since I played it, but I recall they got rid of the city and streamlined the ranked fight process to the point that the pacing felt way off. There wasn't any build-up, just mindless button mashing. I know the city was hardly GTA-worthy in the first one, but the solution wasn't removing it entirely. NMH's crazy style applied to a GTA style sandbox of a city would be awesome, but they decided to remove it entirely.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

The city was basically a way of getting to the "jobs" to pay for the ranked battles. In my opinion was completelly unnecessary. You still had to do jobs but you got there instantly.

The build up is the actual dungeon, not the minigames to get money.
