Killer is Dead arrived a decade ago, and despite not receiving a sequel stands-up as a unique work from SUDA 51.
Goichi Suda (Aka Suda 51) is a peerless developer, renowned for the making of some of the most unique games. Here are the best ones to date.
Peerless?
I’ve always heard his games have repetitive portions. I appreciate unique and creative games, but repetition dilutes even the greatest games (ie Arkham Asylum).
Shadows of the damned was pretty wild. That and lollipop chainsaw are the only ones ive played but I’d give it to SoTD.
During a panel at Momocon, Grasshopper Manufacture founder Goichi "Suda51" Suda talked about possible Switch ports of his games.
He should. Although I'd like to see something new from him. Or how about Shadows of the Damned 2?
While western games like DNF and GTA get outraged by political groups, JPN games get outraged by journalists. I'm noticing a pattern here...
The thing is though. For all the T&A Japanese games are remarkably un-sexy, I like women and I like gaming but Suda 51's depiction of women does nothing for me. It's like the Miley Cyrus "controversy", I thought her act was clever and pretty funny but it wasn't alluring, it was burlesque comedy. none of this "raunch culture" is meant to be taken seriously, it's silly and ironic, the people who are offended by it need to get out more, go to a cabaret or a strip club and have a laugh for god's sake.
It sickens me how the Miley Cyrus thing and this seem to matter more to people than real matters like the war in Syria, etc.
People need to focus their discontent on more pressing issues.
