Lollipop Chainsaw: Day one purchase anyone?

I am really excited for this one, but I am thinking the $60 tag may be a bit much. I can see this one dropping pretty fast to the bargain bin. I hope it scores 7's + form major critics, but I am doubtful. Anyone dropping the full price on it? Anyone even excited for it? Only reason I may drop the $60 bucks is because I don't see myself getting anything until Sleeping Dogs in August. I'm even on the fence with that one, although it looks real good. Next for sure purchase is Far Cry 3, Sep. 4th. To the backlog I go......

I'm waiting for reviews and what not. Don't have the money. But I did see it for Pre-Order on Amazon for $40 so it's not going to be $60 outta your pocket if you shop it correctly.

i definitely want to play it, but i don't wanna pay $65 for it, maybe if it goes lower in price

Meh

Pre-ordered with release date delivery :D

Initially I was keen for it but as more gameplay footage was released, not so much. Bargain bin purchase for sure.

Day one for me in a way. My brothers birthday is next week and he wants this game so there's his birthday present.

I really want it, but I'm saving up to buy a new PS3 since my phat ylod (thank u sony for the lack of a price cut at E3 /sarcasm). I'll get it down the line though. Love Suda51 style

Well, problem solved. My girlfriend just watched some gameplay of it and she is gonna pick it up if I pick up the Dead Island GOTY edition on June 26th. She loves hack an slash like GOW and Dantes Inferno. And she loves zombies and chainsaws (Texas Chainsaw Massacre to be specific) lol. Idk why I didnt mention this one to her before. I saw Amazon had it for $44.99 but now its back up to $60. Any other leads?

Take a guess.

Day one purchase for me. I have it pre-ordered and paid off in full. I just want to pick up the game, go home and play. :-) Too bad I'm scheduled to work on June 12th though. At least I have June 13th off. LOL.

I met James Gunn through a friend, who grew up with him. Gunn is a horror writing phenomenon... He also wrote a great book called "The Toy Collector" which I urge everyone to find (very cheap on Amazon as I recall).

I may not get it on launch day, but it is a DEFINITE early-run purchase.

(Observe the quote at the bottom of my sig).

BIG fan.

:D

i'm definitely considering buying it

Over-the-top, mindless gory fun perhaps for a rental, but otherwise I'm not interested in the game. Not really my style.

I have it preordered on Amazon for $45 with the DLC.

If they made "Assassin's Creed 4: Girlpower" where a giggling lightly dressed girl was knifing people down would you go get that? What's with people's interest in this game? I don't get it.

Looks like bargain bin fodder to me...

I was considering it but from what I've seen so far think I'll pass and wait till I can pick it up cheap in a few months

Joss Whedon had similar detractors when he made "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". That went from cult movie to seven critically acclaimed TV seasons, and is still a hot commodity a decade after it stopped being produced with fans all over the world. A cheerleader slaughtering the Undead is absurdist humor, and it either works for you or it doesn't...

But the big draw for some gamers is Suda51 (Goichi Suda), who has developed some of the last two decade's strangest and most distinguished games, and writer James Gunn, who has managed to save the horror movie genre from PG-13 extinction. Between the two of them, there's a lot of twisted ideas and fans are hoping to get them through the game. And for what it's worth, I don't think the game can be compared to "Assassin's Creed" as that game has lofty ambition for what it wants to be... This game is going to be more like "Dead Rising" with a ton of vajayjay jokes. And that's fine.

Must every bit of art or expression be compared to The Mona Lisa, or "Citizen Kane"? It looks like it's gonna be a few laughs. No one says you have to play it, or even bother discussing it. I don't bother with Final Fantasy games because I'm not into she-males with giant swords endlessly pondering their place as reluctant heroes of their world, but it's certainly alright for others. But I don't post in FF threads very often because, why should I bother? If it's not your trip, move along...

:)

Ah, maybe ?

Guess I'm out of the loop because I don't see what the big hype for this game is.

My interest in the game is at about the $15-$20 level, at most, and that's where I'll wait for the price to drop down to before thinking about picking it up.

im getting this day one, i dont care what any of you say.

My fellow ps3 owners "TAAAKE TO THE SKYYYY, TEN MILES HIIIIIIGGGHH!!"

... The game is about zombies and we're now at the end-cycle of zombie games (I hope) so it's been done way too much already. It says something about the low-risk, tried and true-mentality of the gamingindustry when games like CoD, Red Dead Redemption and Yakuza throws in zombies like it's coca cola that goes with any meal.

I agree that zombies are getting shoe-horned into everything, and I haven't played games like "Dead Island", "Dead Nation", "Dead Rising", etc etc, because I'm zombied to death, and I don't want to reward the dog for peeing the carpet over and over, so to speak, because then the industry will never learn their lesson and stop making zombie games and zombie add-ons to franchises they clearly have no business being in ... I also agree that it's not a Day-One purchase.

But it's definitely a purchase.

S'all-I'm-Sayin'.

;)

I appreciate the two creative forces behind the game, and I want to vote with my dollar (for Gunn & Suda51 to have a next project, whatever it turns out to be). And, it looks like some low-brow humor, violence, and yes, a potty-mouthed cheerleader all about the fan-service...

:lol:

So, for those who have purchased it, any thoughts/impressions? The reviews on Metacritic are kind of all over the place, but the one consistent complaint seems to be the length.
