No More Heroes vs No More Heroes 2

.....Yeah, I'm not good at starting off topics, so...... yeah. Which do you choose?

Both are good.

But I didn't like the story in the second one, the ending was pretty bad Imo.

And the Shinobou(spell?) part annoyed the hell out me. xD

Oh I like the mini games in the first one more, they were more fun. D:

NMH2 was a downgrade, aside from combat. They just took NMH and stripped if of exploration and collecting and all sorts of other things (less workouts, less combat-based missions, less variety in missions). also it felt shorter, despite being the same length. there was no need for money ultimately, other than 2 swords (which you wont even use) and clothes (that count for jack squat) NMH is better in my opiniongarrett_duffman

I never beat the first, but second's gameplay was better.

The story/ending was pretty bad.

No More Heroes

-Excellent characters and funny

-Combat was pretty entertaining

-Ranked missions got worse each consecutive time (I still want to erase that aweful final ranked mission from my mind)

-overworld was completely pointless and hurt me physically and mentally

-the mortercycle controls also hurt me physically and mentally

-side jobs mortally wounded me physically and mentally

OVERALL: 5.5/10 This game may have excellent style all over, but as an actuall video game it is quite awful

No More Heroes 2

-Bosses weren't as interesting, but I got into the story a bit more this time

-combat has improved quite nicely. I especially enjoy the ability to switch weapons on the fly

-Ranked missions were quite consistantly good, but got a little too repetative with the amount of enemies showing up

-Getting rid of the overworld has streamlined the experience greatly

-Side jobs are probably the best part of this game. I have spent hours on each one (with the exception of the scorpion collecting job) Go 8 bit!!!

Overall: 8.0/10 This is a vast improvement over the original. It has excellent style and it manages to be a good game as well.

Theyre about the same.

i missed the open world from 1
and i hate the gym in 2
so it's about even, with a little edge going to 2

Easily NMH2 is the better game; better pacing, better story(even if it was a nonsensical joke), better combat, better variety among the stages and bosses, multiple weapons with different properties, better side missions, getting rid of the buy in was a great move, ditching the open world was another good move, playing as Shinobu was enjoyable, even if they needed to tighten the platforming controls. NMH2 is easily the better game. Sepewrath

Uh its an action game, hack n slash games are generally known for being linear, you know like the first one. Also the first one where all the missions had the same pacing and basic enemy types, the real standouts were I think the ranked 3 fight(cant remember the exact order), you know where Ru dies, which wasn't the best ranked fight. There were 4 weapons in NMH2 and they were clearly each unique, like the Peony being the heavy weapon, which does big damage but is slow vs the Rose Nasty which was dual blades, were fast and light and had their own unique animations. Like I said the platforming controls needed work, but combat with Shinobu was great, the games not a platformer after all.

Also there was no promise of multiple ranked fights against multiple opponents a bunch of times. They said it was possible that rank fights wouldn't be one on one, that could mean anything between 1 and a zillion. It just happened to be once. The revenge missions were an extension of those assassination missions that were in the first always in a parking lot, but were less frustrating and had more unique enemies. Your really grasping at straws complaining about the rank, the rank doesn't matter, would it really matter if he started at rank 13 vs rank 50? Its not like this thing has an amazingly engrossing story and that was a plot hole. The last thing a dedicated action game really needs is an open world, action games are linear with set stages. a hub world is pointless. The game does have its problems, but alot less than the first one. The first one is a game where people ignored the many issues because it was just alot of silly fun. The second was a much stronger, better put together game.

lol you brought up how they said not al boss fights would be 1 on 1 but you missed the part in that same interview where it said there wouldn't be 50 bossses? Yeah this is all opinion which game is better, but you seem to have taken issue with NMH2 not having the same shortcomings as NMH1. You seem to have been a fan of the missteps in NMH1, nothing wrong with that, its the same with Mass Effect 1 over on the 360 boards, people miss those flaws in ME2. You may have enjoyed rolling around the open world, the same as people enjoyed struggling with the Mako up 90 degree angles, but that doesn't change the fact that from a design standpoint, the sequel is a better package.

Can't really say. Didn't get the chance to complete part 2, and won't for a few more weeks (see sig).

I like the first one best.

OT: How much muscle would you guys recommend to beat No More Heroes 2?

Both are great, but i think i have to go with NMH2, everything was just improved. i also liked the stroy, (dont get why people dont like it)

my only little complaint is that some of the bosses didnt have as much personality and arnt memorable (only afew, most were great)

I like the first one best.
