That's pretty damn funny.

Thank god, I've been dying for them to talk about him. I'll watch it a bit later.

OK. I was about 90% sure that I'll get this on day 1 but that sold me for sure! Never noticed the head before (yeah shame on me)! Great stuff!
Fucking sold.
Yeah, that trailer did more for me than any of the previous ones combined!
I welcome you guys to the greatness that is a Suda51 game.
Watches video
Yep. Definitely better than the other trailers.
"Do you think we could have babies some day?"
Slayed me.
Yep. This game is a day-one buy for sure.
So what's the extra stuff in the Premium edition for this? Play-Asia says its got all of the battle options and extra costumes. So…..the regular edition is missing parts of the game or something?
2 new costumes, grenade launcher, and another Zombie Rock Lord revealed (wonder if another musician will voice him) along with a bunch of new screenshots.

EVEN MORE COSTUMES! Plus weapon details, new characters and screenshots, plus Juilet running zombies over with a harvester. What more can you ask for?
Glad to see it won't just be Juilet, Nick, Swan, Pervy Teacher, and zombies. Was worried it'd follow Shadows of the Damned by having a super small cast, it worked for that game cause you were, well… in hell, but I feel this one needs a cast like No More Heroes (tho the cast in that were all bosses, still).
Who's the chick with the rifle?
Correct me if I am wrong, but this game is targetted for May in Japan right?
Yes. It's speculated to hit the US in April. The official twitter page says they'll be announcing the releaste date very soon.
German Amazon offers since today (or at least I think it's since today but I checked a lot) pre-ordering the game. Release date is supposed to be June 15th
Shopto are advertising it for 20th. I think I'll wait anyways. The game screams that it'll be in the bargain area after a month and there isn't much from what I've seen to get me to buy it first day.
Well, if you buy it on the first day, you raise the chance of it getting a sequel from a certain number of people buying it…..and of course, to support the developer.
Yeah, Suda51 games don't sell. Which fucking sucks because they're some of the best. I'm poor as fuck, but I'm scrapping change together to pay $60 even tho I know it'll be under $20 very quickly.
Its such a damn shame Suda51's games don't sell at all especially now that he's got Akira Yamaoka with him.
Don't forget Shinji fuckin' Mikami.
I'd feel bad if the game does badly myself, but even then… I don't typically buy games new and freshly released. I always give them a while to be affordable. Especially since I no longer work at the moment.
So, I'm hoping it receives decent enough scores and sales. Not expecting anything spectacular as I'm sure the devs themselves do as well.
I would think the maximum hope would pretty much be hoping it does as good as No More Heroes does.
No More Heroes - 500,000 worldwide
No More Heroes 2 - 300,000 worldwide
Shadows of the Damned - 240,000 worldwide
Pretty sad that SotD, despite being on 2 consoles instead of 1, sold the least. It isn't fair these games don't sell. I hope Suda stays strong and true to his game design despite it all. Tho if Suda ever made a FPS I'd probably play it hard despite my dislike for the genre.
I used "despite" three times in this post.
It seems like they have a thing where they make original games, and if they need to get funding again, they make anime-licensed games to get money back.

I'd like to see Suda51's take on a first person shooter, besides the FPS segments in Killer 7.
Speaking of, I feel the need to play that game again.
I need to play it, I own it but haven't. Feels shameful to call myself a Suda fan until I do. Bulletstorm seems like a Suda FPS lol.

I guess the reason is people don't like something new and creative nowadays.
I still not played No More Heroes (can't find the Wii version anymore and I heard the PS3 version is a major downsized version of it) but Shadows of the Damned I waited on, and no matter what I did I just couldn't get into it. Mainly because I hate puzzles where you start dying after a while anyways. And there was just too many things that just didn't feel right with it. It wasn't a bad game it just didn't feel better than most other things out there.
Although to be honest it was that Biggest Boner section that I stopped playing on. Failed about 20 times, got sick of the cutscenes and put the game down. Never went back to it.
And if I felt Shadows of the Damned was average, I'll certainly be waiting until Lollipop is reduced before tackling it. Although it also depends on what state June/July is for other releases. If we don't have many other releases then than I'll probably pick it up anyways
The Big Boner segment is suppose to be frustrating, that's… why it was made. Suda is infamous for often putting such moments in his games as a way to "troll" the player, but he does it out of love so it's okay. Example, there was a side-job in No More Heroes that was dreadful and people complained about it.
He copypasted it into No More Heroes 2 and made it worse. XD
New Japanese trailer, hitting all the Otaku notes.
The official Twitter account stated that the US release date will finally be revealed this week.
Finally. June 12th.
Also, another (maybe last?) zombie rock lord revealed: http://www.siliconera.com/2012/03/05/lollipop-chainsaw-cuts-through-north-america-and-europe-in-june/
Wonder why Japan's getting it a month earlier. Unfair~
Maybe they feel it'll sell more there? Don't Suda51 games usually sell more in the west? Or am I wrong on that?
This could be Suda best seeling title just based on the concept appeal.
Can I play this game as a punk rock zombie or a viking metal zombie mowing down hordes of ravenous cheerleaders? I would pay for that game.

You suggesting you wouldn't pay for THIS game?

Something irks me about a game where I kill all of my favorite characters as my least favorite character.
Awww.
That's too bad :(
The villains are suppose to be cooler than the protagonist. Kinda a rule of thumb in most media.
Yeah, but the main character is the one I'm stuck with for the entire game, so they should at least not be hatable. I don't think my soul could stand putting up with a cheerleader for the majority of what otherwise might be a pleasant gorefest.
It's a minor complaint in the scheme of things, but big enough to push me away.

As you choose. I'll be enjoying every minute.

Hey, I have plenty of things to push me away from this forum. But you know what, I can easily put up with you.
BAZING!
Watch the US not get them due to different right holders here.
Want. HOTD. Costumes. PLEASE!
Can't wait for this to drop and be the most mediocre and un-noteworthy game in ages.

Surely, they will look upon this game centuries later and say:
"Wow, that game was… okay, I guess. Want to play Half Life 3? I just got it!"

WTF, man. I thought you were cool. ;_;
Besides all Suda51 games have been awesome.
