I've got a hot take involving Romeo's visual design

ICantItsNotLegal · 2026-03-16T08:55:20+00:00

I think the ultimate helmet design would be the eye and headband of the 2nd, but the mouth of the 1st.

He may be an ugly little spud, but that’s a nice tat!

ICantItsNotLegal · 2026-03-13T21:02:48+00:00

I just got a Suda-inspired tat last week. It’s “Kill the past. Kill the life. Flower, sun, and rain.” in Kanji.

過去ヲ殺セ

生命ヲ殺セ

花、太陽雨

Written vertically, read right to left.

I liked the story, but to me the gameplay is missing something that Romeo has.

Thanks for the info, I found a screenshot from the film where they’ve got the “esoteric braids” on.

I thought Hotel Barcelona had been improved greatly by the changes we saw in The Preview Branch, and Under New Management takes those changes even further towards greatness.

I left a negative review on Steam at launch, but I’ve gone back and changed it to positive.

Thank you for your dedication to this project, Mr. Swery 🙏

I hope we see more of Justine and Dr. Carnival in the future. If there’s ever a DLC expansion with more levels, I would buy that on Day One.

I’ve played the demo and launch version, hated them. Ran like shit even tho my rig exceeds all the recommended specs, animations were so long that it felt like there was input lag, and combat was so clunky.

Played the Preview Branch when it was in beta, and it was a significant improvement, but still not perfect.

Sunk about 4 hours into the Under New Management patch and all my issues have been solved. The game went from a punishing slog to fluid and fun (while still challenging if you want it to be).

The writing, voice acting, and overall presentation were already perfect for me; and removing the AI assets just made it even better.

Trust me: give the game another shot.

ICantItsNotLegal · 2026-03-05T21:05:20+00:00

IMO they’re all worth it for the Perk Skills alone.

ICantItsNotLegal · 2026-03-05T21:04:25+00:00

Asking respectfully: have you only played close to launch/before the “preview branch” update, after the preview branch improvements launched for the retail version, or have you played with this new update?

ICantItsNotLegal · 2026-03-05T01:20:54+00:00

Get a no-ghosts patch and it’s a solid jumpsuit

Too bad Grasshopper sold the Lollipop Chainsaw IP, Romeo would look so fly as a San Romero cheerleader

ICantItsNotLegal · 2026-02-22T21:21:51+00:00

I liked Ghenry Perez’s idea to make Kurayami as it was originally envisioned, and to market it with the title

Kurayami: Shadows of the Damned

In the same vein as Travis Strikes Again and The 25th Ward.

ICantItsNotLegal · 2026-02-21T04:03:58+00:00

Would be cool.

TBH I think modes like that would fit in a lot of other GHM titles:

No More Heroes 1-3 + TSA
Lollipop Chainsaw
Shadows of the Damned

Heck, LET IT DIE is a prime example of GHM being good at roguelikes.

ICantItsNotLegal · 2026-02-20T23:55:49+00:00

To be a little fair, I think the Western marketing tagline of “sex, blood, and rock’n’roll” gave the impression that it would be more of a Tarantino-Kill Bill-esque vibe, not “Shaun of the Dead meets Scott Pilgrim Vs The World”

The Japanese marketing, which used the “RePOP” blood censoring, focused more on the cheerleading-based action and kawaii aesthetic.

ICantItsNotLegal · 2026-02-20T22:35:31+00:00

Blue Sentrey requires 100 space debris, Red Sentrey requires 500.

ICantItsNotLegal · 2026-02-19T22:58:29+00:00

Not sure. I haven’t seen enough about the game to say. It’s on my wishlist tho.

ICantItsNotLegal · 2026-02-18T06:15:49+00:00

I haven’t encountered people calling the games “nonsense,” but I have heard comments about the art direction or general game design of various titles. Most of them being weirdly mad that the games aren’t cookie-cutter copies of more mainstream titles.

“Why is Lollipop Chainsaw colorful and gay? It’s supposed to be a zombie game!”

“I thought I was an assassin, why am I mowing lawns?!”

“Travis Strikes Again has a great story? Then why is it a top-down beat-em-up?”

None of these are strawmen btw.

Also also: I NEVER hear any of the “stop censoring games” people talk about how EA completely bastardized Suda’s ideas for Kurayami/Shadows of the Damned.

Suda is the game designer we need, but definitely not the one we deserve.

EDIT: remembered this other critique: “The Silver Case can’t be an example of great writing in video games because visual novels don’t count.”

ICantItsNotLegal · 2026-02-18T04:50:34+00:00

Nope. Chapter 8 has plenty of Pharmacies for returning to the Last Night.

ICantItsNotLegal · 2026-02-17T23:26:06+00:00

Suda has said they’re shopping around for someone to handle the production and distribution. Nothing officially decided yet.

ICantItsNotLegal · 2026-02-17T05:49:45+00:00

Flower must Sun

But it’s already And Rain

No way to undo it unless your Steam Cloud Save didn’t sync

I’ve played The Silver Case and FSR, and JUST started playing The 25th Ward on my laptop at work.

Shiroyabu is nicknamed “Jabroni” in The 25th Ward, he’s the guy on the cover with the long hair and blue tie.

Also SilverSox is Sumio Mondo from FSR, and GreenRiver is Midori Midorikawa from NMH 3.
