I agree with others that reviews can be a load of crap. Do you remember Mind Jack? That got awful reviews fro Pretty much everyone because it was 't some stupid Call of Duty crap. The game at first glance and play did seem shallow but once you got in to it you'd find a wonderful game. Not the best game of the year but one well worth playing. Ever since then reveiws where not for me. Witcher 2 so caught me out but for another reason. Everyone said it was fantastic. It is bollocks! I got stuck and found out there was no way back without an earlier game save which I never had. Ob, and the game really drags on. Yakumo
The moment I really stopped believing in reviews without a large dose of salt was when they praised Sonic Rush. Of course I had to get it, only to discover it's a massive load of shit.
Lets not give this thread a trademark Assembler derailment. But you're in a minority there. Anyways back to to Lollipop Chainsaw, Amazon Finally shipped it after I complained. So I should get it soon.
If this is what you call a "fact", then you obviously don't know the meaning of the word. Keep in mind, I have no opinion of this game. I just find your absolutist viewpoint troubling.
I've never had an issue with Amazon. they have ALWAYS shipped my shit prior to launch date so I'd GET it on launch date. There must have been some kind of SNAFU. Anyway...
Excuse me, but I'm starting to think you always stop reading after the first half of a sentence, ADD much? Again, for you, the important parts numbered and in bold, I know it's a lot to ask but try to read the ENTIRE sentences this time as to avoid more stupid comments: "fact #1: 1) not the greatest thing since sliced bread, 2) you might very well like it but it's 3) not a game you can not possibly allow yourself to miss out on." 1) so it IS FACTUALLY the greatest thing since sliced bread, and that viewpoint may not be challenged? And you know this how, if you haven't played it? 2) you might very well like it... what exactly is wrong with this part of the statement? Do I have to say "everyone likes it except for me because lailulewhatever says I'm stupid."? 3) to say it simpler: you can allow yourself to miss out on this without having to jump off a bridge, though you might enjoy it if you did try it - because OPINIONS are OPINIONS. What exactly is NOT factual about this statement? Are you saying that you MAY NOT miss out on this monumental grand game? How is that not "absolutist"? And what are you basing that on if you haven't played it? Kindly go ahead then and tell me how to say "not everyone will like it" in any more "open to your own opinion" way than the way I used above - I only said it's not the best game that has ever been made, some like it, some don't, that's all. I don't think anyone disagrees. If anyone does, alright, then my statement is wrong. I very much doubt that though. Lol... if it weren't so sad how you demand every one to be "open minded" about this game, yet when someone has an opinion and says that *not everyone* will like it, that's bad because that's apparently "absolutist". Pure bullcrap, read post again, think for a second, then post. EDITed to add: If you're saying that my "this game is crap" viewpoint (aka my PERSONAL OPINION) is too absolutist, then well, screw you. Personal opinions are personal opinions, I'm entitled to mine like you are to yours, an opinion is by definition "absolutist". That's what you're demanding me to respect, how about you try it yourself some time? However what I wrote in the post you're criticizing (the "fact" part) was not just my personal opinion but a summary of this thread and the different opinions of the different people in it. Both sides, without saying which one is "right", unlike what you seem to think you read, just like what you're preaching (yet not doing, you don't seem to have any respect for other people's opinions). Really, just read it again, you're bound to understand it sooner or later. To the other people in this thread: sorry for OT posts but I don't like being called stupid (or my knowledge of words like "fact" being questioned which is basically the same thing as being called stupid) when that person is obviously not even able to read entire senteces properly, or is just trolling.
Honestly are you people just trolling me?! fact #2: some people like it. (you do, and another poster does too) fact #3: some people don't like it. (they find it sucks hard, I played it, I find it sucks hard; another poster does too, except he liked the boss battles). You say fact #3 is subjective. No, it's not, I have PROOF that some people do not like this game (I never said it was a fact that it sucks, I said it was a fact that SOME PEOPLE THINK it sucks, lrn2fuckingreadgoddammit), read the reviews on game sites or in this thread to find it yourself. It's just funny how you're not questioning fact #2, strangely that fits your opinion... what an amazing coincidence! You people are nuts, you're preaching people should respect other opinions, but if their opinions are NOT yours then they're suddenly not valid anymore. I'm out.
I never disregarded your opinion. Your 3rd statement, the game is Not one that you should NOT miss out on - is subjective. Example? Ask Goichi Suda. What would he tell you? you would NOT want to miss out on this game. I'm in the middle, it's a game you should play but won't miss much if you don't. You're on the opposite end. You think it's not worth playing. There, you see how it's subjective? All art is subjective. I think Eraser head is one of the greatest films ever made that everyone should experience. My wife thinks it's a horrible film. ANY game can be viewed that way. Any creative work can be viewed that way. Which is why your 3rd statement is subjective. You state that you have proof that people do NOT like this game - that has NOTHING to do with your third statement. You will find in ALL art that NOTHING will have 100% agreement on it being AMAZING or TERRIBLE.
Ok, ok. It's only a game. If some people want to think it's great and hype it up then let them. There are many games that are hyped to death that I think are shit but so what? If some people think lollypop chainsaw is just a load of sexist crap then that's fine too. Let's just leave it at that. Each to their own. Yakumo
There is no special edition in the US, or anywhere other than Japan. Even then, the Japanese special edition doesn't come with a chainsaw. There are inflatable chainsaws that were used to promote this game. I do not know their size, only that they exist.
All the ones I've seen pictures of do, in fact, seem to have been mailed in the box like that. What a shame.
Well, my copy arrived today so I'm now off to give it a play and I'll let you guys know what I thought of it. Yakumo
Something else I had preorderdc they also took their sweet ass time with. it's in WV now heading up north, Also nice
Oh you managed to get a premium edition +3 costumes... Really wish they made an awesome collector's edition though
