This dude gets credited for a lot of things he didn't make. He's not the director of this game apparently, lol.

I don't know why anyone would buy this day 1, Grasshopper games always end up in bomba bins.

yeah Flower Sun and Rain is pretty out there. I enjoyed it, but there are some pretty sadistic elements to the gameplay.

I would like to play Lollipop Chainsaw asap, but I already have a list of games I'm going to buy beforehand once I find some scratch. Being unemployed sucks, the only games I've bought this year are XBLA games

If this game has the same level of nuttiness as Shadows Of The Damned did, I'm all over it. 

Pre-ordered it from Amazon when it was $45. Should be here tomorrow.

Same.  Read that the game is very short (like 4-5 hours, tops), but has good replay value.  I just want a decent beat-em-up; if the game sucks, oh well- Max Anarchy next month.  Some who got it early said that the controls are not as smooth as they should be.

I see your point but at the end of the day this is a videogame, and a Suda51 videogame at that.  So if it ends up being good (very unlikely based on his recent games), I'd still play it at some point and just put up with the presentation.

That costume montage crap is just the GAF OT.

The game has several types of time attack/high score modes.  One GAFfer gave it a 9/10 and said it was a better NMH1.  I'm skeptical- way too much T n' A being used to pimp this.

I'm all for questioning the perpetuation of misogynist/racist/etc. types of stupid stereotypes in any medium. This game seems to at least slightly be taking the piss on the direction the industry has gone in in glorious nippon but it definitely is ultimately celebrating said direction regardless of having an ironic wink to the proceedings.

Quote
As a piece of entertainment, Lollipop Chainsaw is something truly memorable -- shameless, camp, idiotic, and so very enchanting. As a game, it is a celebration of the arcade era, an era when games felt free to be outrageous without worrying about being taken seriously or making even the vaguest lick of sense. As something to review, it is not deserving of the dread I wrote about at the beginning of the article. As it turns out, trying to describe Lollipop Chainsaw is half the fun. Talking about it is a joy. Playing it, even more so. It's one of the straight-up dumbest games you will ever encounter, but at the end of the day, it proves one thing ... 

Just because something is dumb, that doesn't mean it can't be brilliant.

Sounds like it's short, but based on multiple playthroughs for getting high scores. Interesting to see a comparison to Crazy Taxi, too.
Title: Re: Lollipop Chainsaw
Post by: bork on June 12, 2012, 08:15:03 AM
That's a Jim Sterling review- don't trust it.  Someone said that he was trashing the game on Facebook after he posted the review to Destructoid.

Reviews appear to be mixed, so it's definitely a love it or hate it type of game.  Also seeing that this has more Suda 51 weirdness/wackiness than any other game.

It sounds like an arcadey No More Heroes with tits and ass as the main character instead of as a supporting character.  I dunno what there is to hate if you like the other Suda crap.
Title: Re: Lollipop Chainsaw
Post by: magus on June 12, 2012, 05:19:48 PM
well allright i played the first two stages,games works like this. You have weak attacks assigned to the X button that you execute with your pom-pom and heavy attack assigned to the Y button that you execute with your chainsaw,weak attack can't kill zombie's but instead it just stun them,if you want to rack up kills you have to use the chainsaw,B let you dodge and jump around,if you press B near a zombie you do a bunny hop over the zombie and then you can instakill by pressing Y, A is reserved is for low attack for zombie that crawls on the ground

the actual game feels a little clunky,stunned zombie dies in a single chainsaw hit but stunning a zombie takes forever so you most rely on heavy attack,the problem is that heavy attack are slow and unwieldy and have big delays between each strikes and even then it still take 3-4 strikes before you actualy kill anything,so it feels somewhat clunky,it's better than no more heroes but hardly on the level of bayonetta or devil may cry... crowd control is probably the most important aspect of the game,your swings with the chainsaw are huge and usualy hit multiple enemies and if you kill multiple zombie's in a single strike,you get a special (GLITTERY ^_^) bonus,there are also some sequence where you do QTE

as you play,you gain coins which you can spend on more combo's and special attack or otherwise health upgrade,so far i've spent all my money on health upgrades so it's hard for me to say if thing improves when you get some combo undergoing

the main attraction is probably the whole theme of the game which basicaly can be seen as a parody of the american mtv generation,jokes include

- one survivor declaring that "he's totaly going to put this on youtube"
- the main character declaring that the villain knew it was her birthday because of facebook
- at least one carrot top joke
- the main character acting as the dumbest most stereotypical blonde ever (phrases include "OMG THAT'S SO LAME")
- one survivor declaring that "he's going to masturbate to her later" (therefore relating to a good chunk of bore)

it's actualy quite fun to follow,i also like how the menu and loading screen are doing in a comic book style (i have to wonder why it takes a japanese game to have a game with nods to american comics) did i mention that the icon for easy mode is a chicken? :lol

the plot is quite weird too,a goth kid summons 4 evil zombie into the city and it's up to the main character to slay them all,she gets aided by what basicaly amount to a caricature of master miyaghi who's also a master of sushi and zombology,the first zombie you fight is a punk rocker that attack's you by screaming COCKSUCKER and other giant meanie word at you

- one thing i forgot to add,some of the zombie's you fight are a little stronger and feature names,when you defeat them you get them on a special list and they come with special description such as "likes to go to furry conventions" or "pleasure herself with a vibrator"

this game will spawn many many many distinguished mentally-challenged internet article :-\

Hasn't "cocksucker" been said in other games?  No other console game I can think of says "JIZZ!" though.   :lol

Just finished the prologue and the first level.  Took me about an hour and a half and I died a few times, mainly on the two sections I detailed below.

Fun game- Whoever said that the game plays like a "deeper" No More Heroes was right on the money- it starts off a bit clunky, but then you get used to the controls and start unlocking more moves, and things really take off. 

At its core, Lollipop Chainsaw is a straight-forward beat-em-up with some QTE sequences here and there.  There's also points where you have to stop and clear out or defend an area before proceeding.  On the first stage you have to stop exploding zombies from reaching a giant birthday cake filled with explosives and get 100 points in basketball by cutting off zombie heads and sending them flying into the basket in less than three minutes-- and you've got a full-on zombie team, complete with dudes jumping to block your shots and cartwheeling cheerleaders in the way!

The soundtrack is ace and there's lots of stupid dialogue that you'll find funny based on your own maturity level.  I think part of it is the soundtrack, but for some weird reason I get a bit of a Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio vibe from this title.  Not sure why that is since LC is nothing like those games.

- good effect: you kill any zombie in 1 hit

- bad effect: this starts playing

What you mean is that killing multiple zombies at the same time gives you "star power," which is usually done the easiest way by dizzying multiple zombies at once, then lopping their heads off.

you sure? i'm pretty sure any kill give you star power

anyway i've reached stage 5 (out of 6 :lol) and yeah... the actual combat system is kind of dull,always punching the same enemies with always the same moves,i think the developer realized this because they keep throwing stuff at you that has nothing to do with actual zombie killing,for example in stage 2 you get a dashing move,so a good chunk of stage 2 consist of dashing trough a track,in stage 3 you get a gun so stage 3 is full of stuff to shoot at and so on,sometimes they even straight throw at you a minigame without trying to mask it,the boss are always amusing altough they get easier and dumber as you progress

spoiler (click to show/hide)
the second boss is a zombie viking you fight in his viking ships,he tries to attack you with thunders... i had no idea that viking metal was an actual music genre
the third boss is a hippie zombie chick that floats around and splits herself into multiple copies that you have to shoot down with your gun
the fourth boss is an auto-tuned zombie pimp thus bringing the number of auto-tuned pimp into videogames to two,he floats around in a saucer and throws bomb at you,since the level is set in an arcade the bomb are all pixelated and such :lol

Yup, viking metal is a subgenre... as well as genres like "New Wave of British Heavy Metal", "Funeral Doom", "Swedish Death Metal", and "Groove Metal". Metal is the only type of music that splits hairs so much it makes us EDM fans go "wtf?".

you sure? i'm pretty sure any kill give you star power

Yeah, I'm sure...I take it you haven't killed three or more zombies at the same time yet?  You'd know exactly what  I was talking about.   :P  The game refers to it as "sparkle hunting."

Here's an easy way to get the achievement:

anyway i've reached stage 5 (out of 6 :lol) and yeah... the actual combat system is kind of dull,always punching the same enemies with always the same moves,

The game is very much a beat-em-up that is more about using technique/being stylish so that you can earn more coins/medals (or get better scores or time in the ranked mode) to level up Juliet.  If you're just doing the same one or two moves over and over, you must be getting complete shit scores and are missing the whole point of the game.

Are you playing this on easy and just smashing buttons?  Guess the ranked stuff is lost on you anyway, with your modded system.

i think the developer realized this because they keep throwing stuff at you that has nothing to do with actual zombie killing,for example in stage 2 you get a dashing move,so a good chunk of stage 2 consist of dashing trough a track,in stage 3 you get a gun so stage 3 is full of stuff to shoot at and so on,sometimes they even straight throw at you a minigame without trying to mask it,the boss are always amusing altough they get easier and dumber as you progress

They introduce new abilities and then give you game play segments built around it...those chainsaw running-charge areas are an easy way to get a shitload of coins and multi-kills if you steer yourself right.  The gun you get works great as soon as you turn off the auto-targeting option in the options menu, and stage three is good mix of fighting/shooting/psychedlic-trippy shit.

I LOVE the arcade mini-games on the fourth level.  Lost it when they started playing "Pac-Man Fever" on one part of that stage!   :lol

The game is meant to be replayed and is great for people who like beat-em-ups (particularly musou games)-- you won't get all the abilities and level up on one play though.  You just do story mode once to get the levels unlocked for ranked mode. 

Don't like beat-em-ups?  You're gonna be bored.  This is easily Grasshopper's best game, from a game play perspective.  YMMV on the cheesiness and cheesecake.

Forgot where I read this, but no doubt that Saint's Row 2/3 had have been an influence on the developers...especially after playing the arcade level.

yeah i have done that but don't you just get extra medals and score for your effort? i'm still 100% sure that when you kill any zombie they still drop normal stars that give you star power

to clarify i'm refering to star power as those stars that let you go into super mode after a while

nah,i'm playing on normal,the problem is even if i wanted to mix it up how am i supposed to do so? everything in the shop is so friggin expensive

besides i tought scoring was pretty much dictated by how much sparkle hunting you can triggers? seems pretty pointless to me to go for scoring until you have gotten some of the more powerfull/wide ranged move's

personaly i'd be happier if the stage were smallers and there was more of them,30 minutes stage are annoying to replay tough i guess that you can get quicker time when you start skipping cutscene's and killing enemies more quickly

So it seems that Suda 51 had very little to do with this game, according to GAF.

I'm referring to sparkle hunting.  And you get medals and more coins for doing it.

LOL, what?  I guess you just don't get enough coins from not doing combos...you should be able to buy at least 1-2 new moves per stage playthrough.

Quote

Right...you need to play through the story mode once and start getting leveled up.  You're missing something if you're not getting the cash to buy new abilities.

yeah we are talking about two different things :lol,i was referring about the super mode you trigger by pressing LT,that mode triggers everytime you fill a bar and that bar fills with killing any enemies in any way
when you trigger it every zombie dies in 1 hit so it's really easy to trigger sparkle hunting right after you activate super mode :P

i have bought some of the cheapest 100 medal moves (like the stab) but there is like one that is 700 medals,the rest are all in the 300 range,i usualy end a stage with around 150 medals so and when i gather enough medals there is always some health/strenght power up sucks up all my medals that i feel is more important to buy than a move i know nothing about

oh by the way

Just got two I think- you shouldn't be focusing on health and strength the first go-round and should be getting combos and new attacks instead.

Not right on the money-- that's from the laughable IGN review that is on par with Godhand and Samurai Warriors 3 for "most IGNorant review ever written."

The game is total grindhouse-satire/parody.  Dude even says that in his review, then flip-flops on it.   :lol  The NPCs you rescue say all kinds of weird, fucked-up shit.  The review also reads like the guy didn't even upgrade Juliette's moves and just used the default move set- just like Magus! 

This is just another fun little Grasshopper game that's not gonna sell.

finished this,got the bad ending (did it on purpouse for the achievement :P) and uh... i don't really have much to add than what i said previously,stage 5 is like all the other stage and the last stage is just the final boss,the last 2 bosses are

spoiler (click to show/hide)
a zombie rockstar that attacks on you a motorbike,after a while the motorbike breaks and it transforms into a robo mech elephant inspired because elephant rocks...? is there really a music genre called elephant rocks? cause this is the only thing i can find about elephant rocking

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vh8byB5wN4

the final boss is sort of hilarious,it's a giant fat zombie elvis presley :lol,in it's profile pages inspiration include genocide,rape,torture,michael buble (:lol),roadkills,satan and m.night shamylan (:rofl),the whole scene is kinda reminiscing of the ending of ghostbusters

after you finish the game you unlock very hard difficulty,a bunch of costumes (some inspired by other zombie media's like there is a highschool of the dead costume) and a special move that cost 999 coins to unlock,wonder if that helps with scoring :P

the jokes are funny but the actual game is a somewhat dullish,1 vs mindless horde affair which makes for an okay game...

The 999 coin move is unlocked before you beat the game.  I replayed the prologue and parts of the arcade level and got 1000+ coins pretty quickly.  Have most of the moves purchased now and the game feels SOOO much smoother.

I equipped one of the bikinis and the game called me a pervert on the loading screen.   :lol

If there's one thing that this game is not, it's dull.  Don't agree with you there.

I'm gonna keep fucking around in story mode until everything is bought, then check out ranked.

one of the achievements require you to look up on her skirt but everytime i tried she covers her butt,so i have no idea what's the trick... HARDEST ACHIEVEMENT EVER

the 999 combo is super broken,huge range and damage,you end up getting sparkle hunting you weren't even going for,i even got a perfect rank on the final boss stage just by spamming the shit out of it :rofl

uh anyway i rescued everyone and got the good ending,i guess either i'm going for some of the misc achievements next (like that stupid gondola minigame one) or i'm playing on hard (very hard?) for those collection achievements

It's a Suda game and it would make me feel uncomfortable buying it and uncomfortable playing it.  That's three strikes against this game.  Pass.

Post by: magus on June 18, 2012, 07:32:44 AM
the achievements in this game are sort of grindy and annoying,it took me 2 runs just to buy and therefore get all the shop related achievements but there is one achievements that ask you to kill 3000 zombies and it still hasn't popped out,what's with zombie games and achievements that requires you to kill impossible numbers of enemies?

a lot of the achievements are related to do stuff in boss fight but the thing you need to do are always stuff you wouldn't normaly do like "counter this boss 10 times" when the fight is so short,that's never going to happen naturaly so if you miss them you have to replay the whole stage,but since the stage are so long it feels like it takes forever

another achievements ask you to use 100 special attacks,but each special attack cost 30 medals,so that's another 3000 medals down the drain for another achievement on top of all the money you have to spend for all the power ups and skills (oh by the way it come almost close to 10.000) and then each special attack takes like a good half minute to execute so you have to wait patentiely for it to be done so you can use another one and go on and on and on....
