I enjoyed the first game (even did NG+ this year), second was alright (until the second phase of the final boss).
Third game was just plain bad that I'm glad I simply rented the Switch cartridge to try out first, a rare case of videogame that I abandoned midway out of disappointment.

Yeah it is genuinely terrible through and through, I have no idea what Suda was going for with it. It somehow takes all the worst elements of the first three games and mixes it together in an immensely unsatisfying soup.

It ruins most characters and Suda seeing The Boys and deciding to rewrite the whole game was a fucking travesty because everything the original trailer set up isn't even in the game and doesn't make sense.

It makes me think much more fondly of the second game, which has problems, but is at least largely competent.
 
That sucks that the third game is such trash. I mean, I didn't expect it to be a AAA masterpiece but I figured I'd check it out once the next gen Switch came out and I picked one up (this assumes that is going to happen some time in the next 2 years).
 
First game is the only fun one. Second game is a PITA, especially the last fight that never seems to end and Travis apparently having unlearned any character development he had in the first game.

That said, there are some unforgettable awesomeness in all three games:

- Doctor Peace performing The virgin child makes her wish without feeling anything
- Shinobu is an awesome character
- Destroyman is cute until they unnecessarily forced him into the next two games
- Speed Buster is an interesting concept
- Bad Girl is definitely a character
- Giant Gundam fight in the second game
- Margaret Moonlight's Philistine theme

Okay, I lied, I can't think of anything good to say about the third game. Maybe the game of musical chairs? It's... unique, I guess?

The third game is the only one with actually decent combat, so it’s got my vote.

Second one wisely cut the open world out, which was smart.

First one has the Bad Girl song at least.
 
Probably the second one is best. First a little too basic while third is overwhelmingly self indulgent. Suda went extremely brain rotted from Marvel films and decided he deserves a multiverse despite no one giving a shit about his previous works.

The framedrops were a tertiary issue at worst in NMH3 on Switch and essentially present when roaming around in town. It was running fine during fights as far as I did play (up to the 7th rank boss). What baffled me however were the constant meta humor, presenting each chapter of the game like a TV show with the opening & ending rolling out everytime, and especially the much uglier art style & 3D models.

It's really exceptional when a game manages to run out my patience because I find it grating to play. Granted I didn't hear good things about the game in the first place and I wanted to check out by simple curiosity, but still.

And it's kinda annoying when certain dev teams are dropping their old engines that aged pretty well (thanks again to the art direction) for Unreal Engine that can end up being a downgrade visually. Having Sho Takiguchi as the lead character artist and Tarou Kawamura as the lead VFX artist for NMH3, while many main key individuals in the older games are absent, probably didn't help either.

The problem is it has an anime fan protagonist with lots of elements of wish fulfillment which makes it a bad game.

They should make a game where you bully weebs and deny them their dreams instead.

Hey, the whole point is that Travis is a loser weeaboo wasting his life away on empty consumerism who gets his ass dragged into a kill-or-be-killed competition because he bought the wrong thing. His sole motivation is to get a chance to fuck the chick who tells him who and where to kill, and he doesn't tap it ever. In the first game, he is so broke he needs to perform menial jobs like coconut picking and gas pumping to earn enough cash to pay the competition's entry fees. And in the second game, he becomes the number one target of every other person in the world like him, as well as a few vengeful foes.

The whole lesson is that Travis got to live his dream as a badass katana-wielding anime hero, and his life improves absolutely zilch because of it. If anything, it got significantly worse. But hey, cutting and slicing baddies is fun.

No More Heroes is a masterpiece, one of the few times waggle controls was actually well implemented. The story is over the top and fantastic with some great boss characters. Travis Touchdown is probably one of my favorite characters in vidya, he just wants to kick ass and crush puss.

I liked the fight against the alien who was into JRPGs. He sounded so heartbroken when Travis said JRPG heroes looked faggy. It was the only fight that felt like it could have really fit into one of the previous games.
 
No More Heroes made me a Dee Bradley Baker fan.

Otherwise, he'd just be known for being Olmec from Legends Of The Hidden Temple and fucking Klaus from American Dad.

Huh? I played these games and I could swear he actually does. And the chick in question's husband is actually his brother so there's even a cucking element to it.
