Just beat NMH... FINALLY! Amazing game. Anywho, the ending is more than a little... confusing, no?

First you have the final boss telling Travis he is his father, only to have Travis remember a flashback to when his parents were killed... huh? Then how is this dude his father? *scratches head* Then to top things off, this fake "father" is killed by the woman that killed his real parents only for you to find out she is Travis's sister?!

Okay, I know the point was to probably just make a joke out of all of the loose tie storylines and outrageous claims the characters were making, but come on. It was unbelieveably confusing. But my main questions are below, tell me what each of you got out of these happenings...

- Sir Henry claims to be married to Sylvia in the real ending after you get through battling him. He said they got married in college, 10 years ago. Problem is... Sylvia is 24 in the game. She must've been a fast learner, huh? Just another joke and outrageous claim put in the game for **** and giggles by Suda?

- He also claims to be Travis' twin brother? How with that heavy British accent could they be AT ALL related?

- After the credits, Sylvia is standing in an art museum with a child who stands staring at a poster of Travis and Henry about to slit each others' throats. She calls the young girl Jean. The same name of the girl who was supposedly Travis' sister that killed his parents. Is this Sylvia's daughter? Why is she named after Travis' sister?

- Sylvia says "Too bad there won't be a sequel.." at the very end only to have "TO BE CONTINUED!" pop up on the screen? WTF?

If any of you kind folks could shed some light on this... well... quite frankly **** up ending I'd appreciate it greatly. :P Awesome game nonetheless, though. If there IS a sequel, you can bet your ass I'll be buying it.

I was confused too, but o well. That game didnt make much sense, so i really dont care. It is an awesome game, that i started replaying the second i beat Henry. I'm have completed it 3 times, 2 times on the hardest mode, and after i beat STU, i am going to replay it. Now that i have more money then i will ever need, i just have to replay the actual missions, no side quests. I will do the free fights if i drive past one.

This is an awesome game. It is too bad it didnt sell as well as hoped. I really want to see a sequel, or alteast another gaming using this contol scheme. it worked really well. Suda is working with the dev of RE-4 (i think) on a new game, but i dont know much more right now.

all the crazy things you put out, i never took too seriously. I just took them as they came, and saw it as a big parody of a lot of plot twist that often happen. as for them being brothers, it has to be true, as Travis did speak with a heavy accent when he first ran into Henry

Was Sylvia's age ever really mentioned? EVen if she did tell Travis what it is, I doubt that she was even being truthful, considering she was a con-artist. Or maybe she's just very promiscuous, would that really surprise you?

- He also claims to be Travis' twin brother? How with that heavy British accent could they be AT ALL related?

Isn't it an Irish accent? :P It was more of a strange twist for the sake of having a twist, even Henry said "You and the player must have been expecting a plot twist." Besides, an accent is based on how the child grew up, Henry could have easily been adopted by Irish parents and just grew up with a different accent.

- After the credits, Sylvia is standing in an art museum with a child who stands staring at a poster of Travis and Henry about to slit each others' throats. She calls the young girl Jean. The same name of the girl who was supposedly Travis' sister that killed his parents. Is this Sylvia's daughter? Why is she named after Travis' sister?

I'm sure there's a reason why Sylvia's daughter is named Jeane, but I'm guessing only Suda knows that.

- Sylvia says "Too bad there won't be a sequel.." at the very end only to have "TO BE CONTINUED!" pop up on the screen? WTF?

Open endings ftw. According to Wikipedia it's also a reference to Back to the Future.

Just to throw in more of a headache to this thread and video game... If you pay close attention to the black guy busting in on travis, he looks a lot like Garcian Smith from killer 7 and also when you start the Killer 7 game. I think the second person you talk too is a guy named Travis touchdown.. I think somehow both of these games are related in some weird way...

Did any one else catch that when they beat No more heroes the black guy

From what I understand, the man who busted in on Travis was supposed to look like Garcian Smith.

IMO the entire game is just what the little girl saw from looking at the portrait of the two of them

This is a Suda game. Sense is usual gone for his games after the first few minutes. The games he makes are good but be ready to be confused after you beat it. When no more heroes 2 comes out be ready to be confused from the start.

The ending? Like it matters, the game was great, and lets just leave it at that. Plus, I'm sure that NMH2 will answer all these questions.

I thought the kid's name was shean.

If you want more confusion, try finding a video of jean's FF part...

Very confusing. And the game's rating would be jacked up if that bit was put in.

I personally didnt like NMH.

Absolutely no replay value whatsoever and the tedious side jobs are the main reasons why.

The only thing this game had going for it was the crazy humor and style. The problem is that the game part was terrible. The game WAS rushed out and suffered horribly for it. That's why I think Suda 51 is making a sequel. The sequel will be everything the first wasn't. There was too much potential wasted. I loved the ending a lot and the fact that Sylvia is a con artist ringing you in to kill a bunch of people is sweet. The writing and the story get top marks from me, but the important part of the game was missing (the actual game part of it).
