GV writes: "Everyone has explored a dungeon. Whether it was in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, The Legend of Zelda, or Dragon Quest, most gamers would be lying if they said they've never delved into a cave. There are usually some traps, a gaggle of enemies, and a few rooms full of difficult foes in desperate need of slaying. In Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do To Deserve This?, players assume the role of the God of Destruction, tasked with creating said dungeons. With an obnoxiously long name and a pocket full of sarcasm, Nippon Ichi Software's latest PSP title might be one of the most unique games to come out this year."
Allison Walter – Product and Development Manager for Europe, NIS America: Hi everyone! I have a few bits of important news to announce!
The first is, Badman has decided to change his bad image, or at least his name. Let it be known: The Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman series will immediately be referred to as What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!? The original title had a conflict of interest with an existing IP and it was not NIS America's intention to create any conflict. This new title is intended to better represent the game's whacky retro dungeon world and connect the player's awareness with the overall theme of the game.
Due to the name change the game, Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman!: What did I do to deserve this? will be temporarily unavailable from the PlayStation Store. The game will return as soon as the new name process has been completed. Also What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!? 2 will be delayed until May 4th, 2010 to provide ample time to complete the change to the new name.
stupid long-ass name for no reason except just to be long and obnoxious to say.
Plasticman?
Thought this whole thing was about badman being too close to Batman. The "holy" being a direct rip on the 60's TV show.
Like in the last game, you take on the role of God of Destruction who for whatever reason serves our old pal the simpering craven Badman and manages the ecosystem in his dungeon. The story mode is longer and broken up into eight chapters, though only the first area is accessible in the demo. This time around, the ultimate goal is to raise Badman's palace above the ocean's surface. There's also a whole new mode, Badman's Chamber, which is a free-for-all sandbox for you to tinker with an ecosystem at your leisure without worrying about heroes coming in to stomp all over it. Unfortunately, this mode is locked in the demo, so I couldn't test it out. Hiding the porn stash, Badman?
