Content descriptors: Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Partial Nudity, Sexual Themes, Strong Language
Rating summary:Players assume the role of Travis, an anime-watching assassin who fights his way through the ranks to become the number-one assassin. Being an assassin means using a retractable katana blade (i.e., a laser sword); it means slicing, chopping, and dismembering human enemies to death in this highly-stylized (somewhat "cartoony"), cell-shaded action game. The depictions of violence in the game are intense, yet somewhat exaggerated: men in black suits are sliced in-half as blood and money flow from their bodies; an assassin with a boombox does not recover after his lower torso has been chopped off—after blood shoots from his empty waist like a geyser; and two women (clad in bikinis) get suspended in mid-air, get caught between the flashing lights, lasers, and frenetic sword swipes of an assassins' duel—the women's heads slide across the floor once the men stop fighting. Cutscenes depict more dismemberment: assassins slicing each other into several pieces in slow-motion, enemies pulling their own heads off, characters displaying trophy-heads on silver platters. These over-the-top depictions of violence account for the Mature rating; they also account for the Intense Violence and Blood and Gore descriptors. The language is strong, too, as characters sometimes use the phrases "f**king a*shole," "f**khead," and "You gotta be sh**tin' me!"
The game contains sexual overtones and partial nudity. Players can watch portions of an anime show called Bizarre Jelly; the opening credits depict a female character whose clothes suddenly disappear, revealing her bare buttocks (one-to-two seconds). Game dialogue contains sexual references, including the phrases "dirty nympho," "the one that's throbbing," and "I feel like that pervy teacher in a porn." Female assassins are depicted in low-cut tops, thongs, short schoolgirl uniforms, and fishnet bondage-style outfits; breasts and buttocks jiggle, and the camera often lingers (there is no equivalent physics applied to male body parts). A couple of cutscenes contain strong sexual innuendo: when characters enter a store, a surprised clerk struggles with his belt buckle and zips up his pants (e.g., "I was just. Uh, doing inventory."); a woman moves a katana blade in front of a man's groin, kneels down, and kisses it (the blade), causing the retractable laser to extend. The battery meter for Travis's sword is always represented by a cartoon-like penis icon in the upper-right corner of the screen: as battery power runs out, the icon starts to shrink—a sad face appears.
Alex, you should have really of spoiler tagged that comment above, there's some that have yet to play the game and will soon. It's a huge revelation to anyone who has never played the game.
Short but sweet.

Well, at least they're consistant.
I don't think I have yet complained enough about the lack of MotionPlus support, so I will do that now.
SCREW YOU, SUDA, FOR NOT UTILIZING MOTIONPLUS.
This annoys me enough to say that I will definatly not give them any money for this.

Is than an admission they you will be downloading this game?, because that's the impression you give, often. If that is the case, your extremely feeble excuse disgusts me given the fact Grasshopper are a small company which has just over 70 employees.
I'm not gonna bother with spoiler tags for a 2 year old game regardless of ports it gets... People who haven't played it and intend to play it this long after its release shouldn't visit threads about the sequel really... And this thread is from before the port was announced anyway. As for M+, eh, this is not the right game for it. Not that I'd say no to such a game, but not everything has to be like that now. I'd rather have both good old No More Heroes and a different game devoted to sword fighting like that. I didn't play such games for lack of better things, I played them cos I found them great fun.
That's a lame excuse. It makes no difference at all how old the game is, your revealing the momentous ending of game they've yet to play. Those looking forward to the 360 and PS3 versions will naturally be curious about this sequel and visit these threads, especially when they innocently think it's simply a trailer."

Have it your way. if you choose to show skank regard for other members that's up to you, I will leave others to make complaints about it if they see fit, all I know is that if I were them, I would be mightily pissed off by you revealing such a huge thing, We have been given spoiler tags on this site for a good reason.
While I do agree that older games don't need spoiler protection when it comes to stuff like an ESRB rating description it doesn't hurt to use the spoiler tags feature for newer stuff. It's there to be used and helps prevent disagreements and potential harm via people stumbling upon some spoiler they may not have anticipated. If people are genuinely curious they will reveal the spoiler by clicking the tag, if not they'll hold off on doing so.
He was talking about the other post where I responded to AgentJ's question a month ago, about the 2007 game. I suppose the ESRB rating did need the tags, I just noticed it tells you how the first (maybe? the boombox dude) boss is killed. Some of the other stuff are so crazy... I can't wait.

The game was a cult hit played by few gamers, it wasn't a CoD or the likes where spoilers are easily stumbled upon The spoiler that's posted above is a huge one, anyone visiting this thread seeing it will have their experience of the game totally ruined. He knew that...
Right, call me when there's a sales and time limit threshold for spoiler tags in the forum rules. Again, the thread is from a full month before the port was announced, implying I did it to screw over PS360 gamers is absurd as I can't see the future. It's also absurd to read sequel threads if you don't want spoilers. Someone asked a question, I answered it, it's as simple as that and there was no deliberate ruining of the experience for anyone.

Why is it such a problem for you to apply basic respect to other users?. I asked you kindly to spoiler tag it today, and you know full well why. What do you achieve in keeping it as it is and having those such gamers I talk of inadvertently viewing your spoiler?. You know full well that any PS3 or 360 users seeing your comment will have their experience of the game significantly diminished, That in my eyes is low. I asked you kindly, but your reply only gave the impression you don't give a fuck about ruining the experience for others.
Even if I had changed that one post there's still AgentJ's quote so it would have made no difference until you contacted him also. Giving reasons to bump this like you're doing does more harm than the supposed good you wish to do by accusing me of fortune telling. Also:

Not to mention nobody has posted that his experience was ruined or anything yet, only you, who have already played the game. Perhaps the posters you're trying to protect do have common sense and avoid threads about the sequels of old ass games they intend to play and don't want spoiled."I do agree that older games don't need spoiler protection"

No, you keeping the comment up does the harm. You should notice that Dalai had removed his comment, Agent J will likely do the same, they do so because they apply basic respect to others users on this site. It takes very little effort to spoiler tag a comment, something I asked you to do kindly through respect to other gamers here, gamers who I naturally want to experience this game as intended.
It was your reply that I was angered by, not the spoiler comment which was innocently made.
EDIT:
And as if by magic, the comment is now gone. Respect sure is magical stuff.
Your comment still remains in open view...One can only wonder why, now that it's not necessary to remain there.
....
I didn't say Dalai didn't remove his comment or that AgentJ won't remove his. I merely said that me not removing my comment is of no consequence at the time of writing. Maybe your bitching and whining affects other people more. I couldn't care less personally. Your anger issues are not my problem, my post was sensible while your accusations aren't. I'm done here, maybe if you bitch and whine enough about it a moderator will eventually change it, even though Hamz said it's okay for old ass games like this, it's not against rules, and nobody else thinks it's a big deal.
