Come on, it’s overdue 😉 I’ll forgive ya if you need to extend it for two months, haha. I’ll play through that and 999 and Virtue’s Last Reward someday… “Beautiful Days” just gave me all these happy feelings. I’ve heard nothing but fantastic things about Danganronpa, and I loved everything you guys played from the OST. I remember some of those from Audio Atrocities. That Michigan: Report from Hell voice acting was so incredible. ’s a Suda51 game and I feel like I just HAVE to play through it. That “NMH” song is the first track that comes to mind for me in the series, and at least it has a great OST. I think what sorta kills No More Heroes for me are the boring side-missions and the awful motorcycle maneuvering. That needs to be in a karaoke bar (the in-game jukebox actually has a karaoke version). I LOVE that cheesy God Hand credits music…thanks for introducing me to that. Like garnsr said, “Gene’s Rock-a-bye” is very similar to Dire Straits’ “Sultans of Swing,” if it was infused with your typical surf rock. My favorite move is this over-the-top arm-flailing that ends in a simple finger-poke that makes the enemy go flying. Played it a bunch, was amazed by how hysterical and absurdly fun it was, and then I got stuck on a boss fight where you were fighting three bosses at the same time, and I got frustrated and stopped playing. I’ve had God Hand for several years now…I think I bought it in 2008. Reenact (perfect way to top off the game): Russian Roulette (I’ll just link to the spoilerific scene that this plays in. You know **** is about to go down when that song starts playing. Great choices in this episode…”Rave On” of course is one of the best.
I suggest everyone to play through it (on the superior GCN version, course), finish it, and read this Plot Analysis FAQ on GameFAQs so that you’re not left scratching your head at that bat**** ending: The writing is impeccable, and the plot twist towards the end was really unexpected. It’s such a wonderful creepy, messed up and yet hugely hilarious ride, that game. I learned to love the on-rails controls and the stationary gun aiming. I loved the unorthodox style of that game.
