    Where is the article that kind of reviews and attempts to explain what Suda/Grasshopper were hoping to "say" with this game? I don't think I have read it and would very much like to.

    I think you're talking about this

    But these are also good:

    EDGE review
    My review
    Write-up at GameSetWatch
    Another good blog post about it
    Article at Destructoid

    Just finished the game and I have to ask. Was I the only one who felt vaguely uncomfortable about #4?

    I mean...
    After the fight's over, #4 ends up blinded and terrified. And instead of giving him a quick mercy kill, Travis instead decides to gruesomely cut him in half with the cartoonishly large sawblade, grinning like a psycho the whole time. Really, where did the vaguely human Travis of the previous kills go to be replaced by this sadistic monstrosity?

    The show must go on...

    Even a normal guy will do crazy things given the pressure from the audience/peer, now guess what happens when that guy craves attention like Travis.

    Alright, so i got this off gamefly and I've done the first mission. I'm rather uncomfortable with the game however because i have to play it in my living room in front of my family.

    I don't know if I'm going to continue...

    You should continue as long as there's no small children in the house. Just explain to family members that the blood, gore, and language is satire.

    And play naked. That will clear them right out.

    I don't think this is really a "social" type of game. Meaning, it's not the type of game you can play casually in front of people (especially those who don't play games normally) and expect them to have a good time watching you play. It's definitely a solo type of experience. At least, it is for me - I'm sure others may disagree with me.

    Either way, in the very least, please don't play it around children.

    I've had friends watch me play that enjoyed it, but yeah, I don't think my family would at all

    After the disappointments that were Rank 5 (total bullshit) and Rank 4 (what a pussy), Rank 3 was so fucking sweet.

    You didn't like match 5? So it's safe to say you have no soul then I think.

    The 5th ranked guy was...
    The guy you didn't even get to fight.

    I think you're probably thinking of Holy, who was fucking awesome.

    Finally bought this, god only knows why it took me so long. I got it on an amazing summer deal. Just hit Rank 9, and loving it so far.

    The lack of gore is annoying, but i think I'll live. It just seems ironic there's no blood, but they kept in the mature language.

    Are you outside the US? The American version has ridiculous arterial fountains of blood.

    EDIT - Just found a comparison video.

    Well, someone bumped the thread. That means it's time for a bitter playthrough. I was going to keep a bitter save file right in front of all the boses and then upload them for a psuedo-boss rush, but come to find out there aren't that many fucking save slots.

    Oh well. I think I drilled Dr. Peace the last time I played, which means I get to take on Shinobu on bitter now. Honestly, having mastered the darkside dodge now I kinda think it'll be EASIER than it was last time.

    Yeah it is a shame.

    He says he wants to do another game with Travis, but he hasn't said anything about it.
