Rolling guaranteed commercial failure Grasshopper Manufacture/suda 51 thread

So this just came out on xbox and ps3, demo should be up, it's batshit, I bought it. who's with me?

to explain that post, because I changed the thread title, I'm talking there about "Black Knight Sword" the new downloadable ps3/360 game.

I also just rebought "Shadows of the Damned" because for 7 bucks, why not get infuriated at some moments of game design all over again!

just downloaded Black Knight Sword, will report back!

"this is how cat grass head works"

*learns*

haha that is the best summary of the suda 51 experience in one sentence, isnt it

ok is there ANY point in seeking out these cat grass heads (other than the "gotta collect them all" Contest of Self-Loathing), because every time i go after one of these i end up half my health.

i dont think so? but this is suda, so who knows

holy crap, so apparently there are 25 levels?! this shit is going to get hard i bet

i've already lost all my lives twice. i kinda suuuuck

beautiful art though, particularly the background elements, i love it

yeah its pretty stunning. little all face dudes are such a great spin on the koopa troopa. digging the sound design as well.

none of this stuff ever comes out for pc, does it

1st trailer for Killer Is Dead. main character is called Mondo Zappa - oh Sudapaws

this is exactly what i expect/hope for from a Suda 51 trailer. looks like he stepped in for Kojima now

you guys

lollipop chainsaw

its so mediocre as a game, and suffers from the usual "wait is this going to ever get fun" beginning vibe and is as always stocked with pointless collectibles, but its also gonzo batshit fun with a slightly more polished craziness to the dialogue story than usual (prob james gunns doing tbh) but still with plenty of creepazoid filthy nonsense, would have voted for it in C&P if i had gotten it soon enough. also further proof that suda should just never ever ever feature any sort of shooting mechanic in a game (which has only happened once so far thank god) because it is always the most terrible part of every game he makes.

hahaha

"it's so mediocre, I love it"

oh hey now, i said the gameplay was mediocre, the game itself is fairly awesome

didn't Shadow of the Damned have shooting mechanics?

yeah, and they were responsible for the worst level in the whole goddamn game

i mean, that makes it two games. Killer7 was a gallery shooter! and not particularly great at that either

i seem to remember some bad shooter stuff in no more heroes, but anything terrible in that game was eclipsed by the ultraterrible driving, so i might be wrong.

and yeah the killer 7 shooting was no great shakes either

Killer7's gameplay is pretty atrocious across the board, but man I love it.

how cheap is Lollipop Chainsaw now? was tempted to pick it up used, but ended up getting Vanquish instead

$18 used or soi think

LC is pretty much $20 standard new now

hahaha this is such a dirtbag game i love it so. hilariously 2 gen ago corridor hack and slash that suddenly explodes into huge weirdo levels and wipeout hd shit and man its just awesome and terrible at the same time

Halfway through now, totally stuck at a (guess what) terrible shooting timed defense section with an inconvenient save point placement. Never change suda!

Black Knight Sword on sale for $5 on XBL this week. Conflicted, because I know it will be super terrible, but...

Oops, next week

No mention of Sine Mora? The best Hungarian-language game about a double-amputee water buffalo war criminal ever made, if you ask me.

I had no idea that was a Grasshopper game! I'll pick it up sometime.

whoa, me neither!

I found the demo really boring tbh.

It's a collaboration with some Hungarian developer- iirc they handled all the programming and Grasshopper were responsible for the design, art, music, etc.

Ranko Tsukigime’s Longest Day is getting localized in the West apparently
a collaboration between Suda 51 and Crispy’s (makers of Tokyo Jungle)
Some sort of weirdo endless runner?
