Funny thing the metacritic part was included about travis strikes again, when in that exact same game there is a dialog where travis asks Jeane if she is afraid of the metacritic score or angry gamer reviews for making a game that is so different than it would be expected from the series

The heart and soul of the game is the combat, and in that the game is 👌 With that said I get the "need" of the "open world" and minigames, to break the "monotony". And to be honest it's successful, it's not great for sure, but it does just that and you also don't really spend much time in it. So over all 👍 from me.

its an amazing game. And im glad it's only for the fans. People complaining about not liking it just makes me like it even more, and reminds me why im a big Suda51 fan in the first place

I've been playing it since launch, it's definately a game for fans that have played the other games in the series. I love the call backs, references, and I've been having a complete blast playing it honestly. I'm glad to be a fan, and it does feel cool to be a part of something like this. Only other series I've ever payed attention to so much is elder scrolls and fallout. 💯

Well, I'm having a blast so far. The fighting is great in this one. Though the world might be a little unpolished and empty, I like driving around, collecting stuff, doing sidequests etc. Just going from bossfight to bossfight would be a little lame. I also like that they cut down on money grinding for the next battle significantly

Travis Strikes Again is a good game, and I’ll die on that hill. The physical copy is pretty collectible as well, because it is a cult hit

For some reason I love exploring that overworld that most reviewers seem to hate. Its a bit spooky and all these odd areas that you can get to. Plus there is a lot of stuff sprinkled all over it to collect like trading cards, scorpions, and Jeane's kittens. It's almost the break the mind needs before the absurdity of each fight...the lull before the Garden of Madness!

>Says he loves Suda51 >Calls him Sudo

Tbh NMH's open world has been lacking. Part 2 didn't even have one. But I've learned to enjoy 3's world, especially after I got the chip that makes your controller vibrate when collectibles and secrets are around. Mostly I've been hunting kitties, Trading Cards and Scorpions, trying to clean up before I take on the final boss. But I'm biased NMH is one of my favorite series and has been since 1, I've played and beaten every game released in the US multiple times. So 3 was exactly what I wanted it to be.

open world actually has a lot of stuff to do, and yes there actually are fights in the world, not every single fight is in the ship.

I'm glad this is geared more towards fans of the series, it's part 3....so I mean....yeah...I hate when a part 3 or even 5 of something tries to pander to newcomers rather than fleshing out more what already existed. Anyway game looks fun! Can't wait to play er

An amazing send off to Travis Touchdown, still playing it. I disagree with the side mission battle locations, there are some points where you fight at gas stations and parking lots. You just have to do enough defense battles to see the difference. The open world is expanded from NMH1 and that's really all I needed.

I definitely wish there was a shop to get more accessories for Travis. I collected everything besides all the death chips, which seems it would take a great deal of time. There’s a certain collectible that was luck based, but definitely my favorite.

i would also recommend travis strikes again personally. i'd call it heavily underrated as far as suda51 games go and is also heavy on the NMH lore. even more than the 1st and 2nd games.

Well i’m still hyped for this game...

I'd probably say NMH is my favorite game series of all time.

the wrestling bit was great Wood, you ready for All Out? CM PUNK vs Darby Allin!!!

I've been finding this is either someones favorite NMH or least favorite NMH. At first it was my least favorite but now that I've beat it twice its my favorite

These intros are soo good the skill share lesson been treating you well

I'm just waiting for Suda51 to release a Killer 7 remaster for the switch. My favorite game that he has done 😍

NMH 1, 2, and 3 are on my list of games to play this year. Missed LRG physical so want the 1 and 2 combo pack i saw is releasing later

If you weren't able to play Travis strikes again you truly will not understand what this games development aesthetic is trying to imply thankfully the combat and story is intact and beyond satisfying to look at and enjoy I honestly only wished we had more customization options and beam katanas with how fluid the gameplay is it would've been satisfying to unlock the Tsubaki MK 3 but when it comes to open world I love it for its unique architecture it feels like suda had some inspiration from paradise killers chaotic setting of buildings and structures being all over the place regardless this game isn't perfect but is more than good compared to alot of stuff right now

Lol i loved the cameo from Brock Lesnar when he broke his neck and left wrestling (for awhile)

All you have to say is "Hack n slash" 😁 ive never played this b4 but it looks fun. looks like Yakuza and DMC

Hmm 🤔, this is a very interesting situation. Wood's review & RGT85's review are at odds with each other with regards to game performance. Interesting & facinating.

I must be the only person alive that enjoyed the open world parts and getting to ride the awesome motorcycle in the first game and was SO excited when they brought it back for this one. Absolutely hated not being able to run around in the second game. And screw those 8-but mini games. Let me mow lawns!

Didn’t know you were a wrestling fan 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿….. This game is definitely for the fans and I love every second of it

Always happy to get a new Wood video 😊😻

Are you saying Sudo is one of your favourites? Or Suda?

The only problem is the open world is barren? Dude, this is No More Heroes, a barren open world is EXACTLY what I want. And the motorcycle feels great.

Yeah this game don't always look so hot, but I still love it.

In Suda's defense he did say his team was a little rushed. Sobs.

your really overly nitpicking the over-world of a wacky abstract comedy-action game with cartoony graphics....

Pretty much agree with everything. But I can't figure out why the visuals took such a hit. The old games look way better by comparison which is crazy since it's running on older hardware. Even Travis Strikes Back looked pretty good, but maybe that's because it was a top down game.

Open worlds can be good but a lot fall on rather having nothing to do or busy work

Ive played Flower, Sun and Rain so the open world didnt bother me at all lol. The only thing that bugged me was some of the texture loading on shirts, but 3 was fantastic.

In terms of story its kinda disappointing, it feels like a over exaggerated version of no more heroes 1, its like they a rick and Morty in terms of being so self aware to where there is no real tense cause they know its a game

You didn’t demolish cyberpunk you just said truth and mostly objective things

Am I Travis Touchdown? I practice kata with light sabers, I own anime figures and even have a white cat that has the exact coat color as Jeanne. I know what I'm dressing up as for Halloween

Im definetly buying them all!!! loved the games and the 3rd.... but ya buying the first and second again!

The graphical glitches etc, almost feels charming, like playing an old PS1/PS2 game. And I'm just gonna pretend, that it was done so on purpose, to spoof modern glitchy and buggy games ;)

Don't even bother trying to beat this game on the hardest difficulty. It's just not worth your time. I done it and I got literally NOTHING for beating it on the hardest difficulty. No new t-shirts, outfits, NOTHING.

Some battles take place in the open world

Quick tell me you never understood No More Heroes without telling me you never understood No More Heroes. Also you absolutely do fight in the open world many times but they still give you the same loading screens without the beaming up this happens during a few defense missions and is done because the Switch just doesn't work well with normal open world games its simple as that. Also that awful filter is because its a island modeled after Call of Duty's browns and greys which is why its called Call of Battle Island or something along those lines.

Claiming that the first game had more detail in its open world is kinda false even in the comparison shot

4:28 perfect time for the ad to cut in

Hate to be that guy but 1:38, while I see your point, Little King's Story, Tatsunoku v Capcom and Rayman Origins are all third party games (albeit very good ones) That's all, have a nice day :)

Honestly I love all 4 games I have TSA and No More heroes 3 enjoyed it. I have to get NMH 1-2 for the switch soon

Watching the stream with him playing the first game was so fun! BAH!!! YES!!! 😂😂😭😭🤣🤣 loved that BBAAHH there at the end !

Fan of the series or not, making a game in 2021 that performs worse than in 2007 can't be swallowed for a full triple A price tag. 30-35 bucks after waiting for a sh*t loads of patches. Maybe. Great review man!

This game is an underrated masterpiece. I'm having a blast playing it.

It's a great game but needs some patches

Honestly the only thing I hate is how they did Henry (you all know what I am talking about). Other than that I love the game.

The cosplay was fricken amazing 👏

You didn't mention the other chips that help to enhance abilities of the the deathglove, the defense missions (which do take place in the area you found them).

Hope they fix the open world with a patch since most of the game takes place in the open world and i will buy it

I too own a Master Sword and have been eyeing this Samurai Jacket for a while now. You're a pretty cool guy

3 is amazing, don’t get me wrong it has a few flaws but it’s amazing

At 10:49 This looks like Generator Rex roaming the city without Sky Scrapers . In reality it is not.

I wish they’d port Lollipop Chainsaw

Must say in terms of hack and slash’s on the switch I would say the best is Ultra Age… by far! The combat is so fluid and feels strong and satisfying. It has some challenging, heart pumping bosses and does not get boring. I have played it 6 times in a row.

I bring news super animal royale is on switch no body else talking about that no just me OK

Teleporting to a fighting arena dimension is a tokusatsu trope.

I watch you as part of my mental health support regimen as you never fail to uplift me and make me laugh. Thank you❣️

I'm still a relative newcomer (only finished both games like a week before the third one released) and I literally knew nothing about these games just 2-3 weeks ago, but this is legit my personal GOTY atm. My least favorite is NMH2 tbh (probably gonna get a lot of hate from this), and whilst for a lot of people the humor in the third game is a bit stale, I absolutely loved it ! I can't even count how many times I've laughed out loud ! The open world whilst stale and empty, I enjoy it a lot more than the first one, probably because there's more variety? There is a lot of issues with the performance, but honestly it never bothered me. Even if you're a newcomer just try it out ! I had no idea 3 weeks ago that I would become such a huge fan, and maybe NMH3 will be the same for you too !

9:42 Just grind midori midorikawa on carolina reaper mode(since you can re-fight boss battles at a difficulty of your choosing even if you're on a bitter save) like 10 times and you're good. you >CAN< easilly max things out on one playthrough lol. 10:36 I'd be concerned if an NMH game had a GOOD open world. This is why 2 was missing it lol.

I think Call of Battle is meant pretty explicitly to be a parody of modern war shooters. So it has that ugly brown grey graphical filter.

Lol was the ending scream planned to sound like that? It sounds like the goons dying in no more heroes 😂😂

I know this video was uploaded 4 months, but I gotta say something. The only thing that was disappointing about the game (in my opinion) was that they didn't make different kitana's for you to use. I don't about you, but I remember you being able to use 4 different kitana's in nmh2 and being able to change them mid battle.

Tbf, the world being barren kind of makes sense since Fu and his gang were seen obliterating Santa Destroy at the beginning of the game. And luckily, the graphics and detailing in the world map were fixed when the Playstation version came out. So that is definitely just a switch problem.

Hey beatemups how’s it going love the intro

No More Heroes 3 has one big problem it used the Unreal Engine 4 the engine runs on the Switch yes but unoptimized every game looks ugly thats run on it

I Honestly Have This Game And I Love The Driving And Automobile M3chanics on Th3 GTA Definitive Versions Bugs And All

I’m interested in this game, but I’ll wait for a sale.

These videos and channel gets better and better all the time! Me and my wife have been huge fans, she also really enjoys Kim's channel. I have been wondering about No more heroes 3 and this provided me a lot of information. I now plan on replaying the first and second games first to re-ignite that spark before I try #3. Thank you so much!

I don't mind the open world of NMH3. But after NMH2 and TSA it sucks not having proper levels to tie all the fights together. I would consider all three games to be of exactly level quality. Which is pretty insane to me.

Personnally, I never really understand why many game compagnie seem to believe they need a open world into their game. If you can't make it good and fun just don't waste your time on this and make good level design with fun narrative.

15:40 do not say the FOG is used to hide how empty the level is, I break games for a living I managed to remove the fog from call of battle as well as from many other levels, just telling you the game runs at 4fps... the fog is clearly a hardware limitation they actually can't render that whole map in one go...

I'm a big fan of Let It Die despite the fact that I haven't played it in years so I REALLY wanna get into this series

...did I play the same game? There were a ton of battles in different locations

They probably didn’t have fighting in the world because the frame rate would’ve tanked more. The open world already struggles to keep 30fps. Fighting would’ve made it worse. To keep the frame rate higher in combat, changing it to a much smaller area makes sense.

Still early on(I just got all the Death Glove powers) but I am loving it. Definitely made for series fans though. Lucky for me I have been there since the original on Wii.

My only complaint is there is absolutely nothing to do post credits..

Yoo saw you on dr.direspect stream! ....great video

Also let's hope with how the game story went and how the game truly feels it's just begging for big updates or dlc expansions of some kind hopefully

Hey I got all the games, but only played 3 lol I love it. Although I did my research before getting into 3 turns out there is this one or 2 videos that explain them so in depth. But omg 😲 it quickly became my favorite hack and slash cant wait for 4

Would have preferred not to have the whole opening spoiled. Jeez

That sponsor transition tho

Wood love your videos Son!!!!!!! Keep up the great work homie 💪😎

Michael Does Life destroyed Cyberpunk before you did Beat em ups. I really enjoyed your review of NMH3. Pretty much sums up my experience. Thank you!

The open world part looks PS1 levels...otherwise looks pretty solid.

I Love No More Heroes, but I don't know... 3 have quite a few flaws for me... One of the biggest problems for me are the Graphics, I would'Ve prefered it if they would've gone with the NMH1 or 2 Graphics. The Characters look extremly playstic-y because of all the shine they have on the model and it looks all really rough around the edges. When NMH1 and 2 look still pretty good today, yeah... not the best looking Games ever, even 13 years ago, but it just fits. Also all the Character models look like Downgrades from 1 or 2. I thinl Shinobu looked so much better in 1 and 2 same with Travis. The Open World is really "meh", they brought it back because Fans wanted the Open World back, me included. But It's just so big and empty and just adds more Loading Screens. NMH1 Open World was empty too and there was much to do, but it wasn't so big and it was kinda like neigherhood, 3 is just big and empty. Combat is pretty good, but it's really repetitive. NMH1 High Stance, Low Stance and I think different Wrestling moves. NMH3 had different Beam Katana's that played different, 1 Quick Beam katana, 1 Slow long range beam katana, 1 Dual Beam Katana, and also I think different wrestling moves. 3 has just 1 Beam Katana Fast or Slow moves, 1 Wrestling Move, but 4 Skills which are the same the whole Game.... The Enemie design were pretty unique... but I don't really liked the Alien theme, but thats just me. I really liked the Boss Designs in 1 and 2, the only good Boss Design I really liked in 3 was Midori Midorikawa. Destroyman and Henry we knew and the rest is just the Aliens. And Another BIG problem for me, which might be the biggest one... the Dialogue... of before and after Boss Fights and in between. NMH1 and 2 had so many good moments, with the Asssassins, Sylvia, Shonobu etc in 3 there are some that are good, but overall it's less and not as good as NMH1 and 2, I think. For Example Dr Peace, Holly Summer, all the moments with Sylvia. There are pretty much no good moments with Sylvia in 3 and like I said only a few good ones with Bosses... but some of those don't even have direct interactions with the Boss intended Boss. So yeah I personally prefere NMH 1 or 2 over 3.

You make me die L.O.L every-time. I watch everyone of your videos even from the past it's good too see you back after a short time. Hopefully see alot more of your content thank you Wood.

Have you seen Miike’s review on this game?!

I know the reviews are bad but i still love the game.

I’m playing on my ps5 and I would highly recommend it against the switch version, I saw the graphics on the switch and it was ok for the fights but open world was choppy.

No more Hero’s was the reason I bought the switch same with bayonetta.

This game is perfect, big up for SUDA51

I've beat the game, and it's awesome, I don't care about how many "problems" people say it has.
