I could totally believe people going apeshit about something or someone being called sexist no matter what or who it is. That people are considering Suda a genius still sounds inexplicable to me, but I guess that's the way of things.Praise Ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12854922140984168464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3493946997489326661.post-68264105721926870462013-08-22T11:19:46.559-04:002013-08-22T11:19:46.559-04:00If you don't think Suda51's fanbase is rab...If you don't think Suda51's fanbase is rabid & thinks of him as being a genius, click the link at the very top of this article and look at the number of downvotes when someone says that Suda's new game is a sexist piece of shit.<br /><br />Oh, and the rest of Suda's games are worse.J.

That No...What point are you trying to make exactly? That No More Heroes is a random, just-for-kicks entertainment game with no real artistic statement? I thought everybody knew about this already... Unless I'm more, Suda51 has never pretended anything else about NMH and the reason a sequel exists at all is only because people continuously asked of him to make one. Killer 7 is supposedly very deep (I've only played the first couple of stages myself) but really one game shouldn't be your basis of judgement for everything a developer does thereafter, much like you shouldn't judge a writer or a musician's entire repertoire by comparing it to a single piece of work of theirs. Ah, whatever. I'm probably just being an asshole again.Seraphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16405303958167915390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3493946997489326661.post-65175230486426511042013-08-08T02:06:38.385-04:002013-08-08T02:06:38.385-04:00What exactly is the purpose of this article? Unles...What exactly is the purpose of this article? Unless there's some group out there holding up NMH as high art it seems kind of pointless. None of these observations are particularly tough to come to. You haven't posted about many games I've played, so perhaps I haven't got a good sample but normally you are pretty insightful or at least non-obvious, or given me something to chew on regarding how I think about and consume media. Here, NMH is trashy and dumb? Yeah. I didn't know that was ever under contention. <br /><br />What do you mean about the fanbase part? I played NMH once through when it came out and I liked it, so perhaps I'd call myself a fan, but what part of being a fan entails "buying into it"? I'm sure plenty of people are huge fans of porn where the curiously old pizza boy gets seduced by a lusty housewife, but do people really "buy into it"? <br /><br />re the video: Yeah that sounds stupid. I guess up to the point with the glasses it might have worked as one of those dumb ideas you bring up with your friends as a little joke, that it actually got made as part of a mainstream game is pretty cringe worthy. Wouldn't be the first time someone produced one gem and a heap of crap, not that I've played killer7.<br /><br />Praise Ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12854922140984168464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3493946997489326661.post-18423216374179271592013-07-29T10:32:26.155-04:002013-07-29T10:32:26.155-04:00Taking No More Heroes seriously is aking too takin...Taking No More Heroes seriously is aking too taking Twilight or Percy Jackson with same serious approach to reading Alice's Adventure in Wonderland or The King of Elfland's Daughter.<br /><br />Also I suspect Susanne Clarke being sexist herself because all the women in her first novel is just damsel in distress and no representation of anachronistic perfect strong female lead.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02973164114152765418noreply@blogger.com
