Oh wow, is it? I haven't heard anything about that but the demo was wicked and so an early release is like the best Xmas present ever

kuro_neko, I got to the third nightmare last night, but had to quit when I got there. I might not get to play it tonight either This game isn't really what I was expecting so far. It's so overly sexual. I like it. Before the high school I got a gentleman's club named Cathouse.
Now that I think about it more, I did one other thing differently on my way to the Diner. I went through the dress shop this time instead of the other store.

DAMN!
Now I'm very impatient to get my hands on Bayonetta. Several people bought it today in a verity of different shops, and some onlineshops (hopefully mine) will send it out tomorrow. I'll try to get it tomorrow anyway Playing it on the weekend would be more than great.

the game is honestly addictive. I sit down and say I'm going to play a tiny bit and then I play for like 3 hours and end up much further away than I thought I would be. I think I'm almost done, I've cleared the mall just entered another awesome nightmare (which would be my sixth). Harry has gotten sexier, which is odd. I think its a reference to his porn star/overly sexualized image in my psyche profile, but he now lacks glasses, has a strangely better looking face, and has a sweet black leather jacket with an open chested shirt underneath. It happened gradually so eventually I was like HOLY SHIT HARRY GOT SEXY. this game is definitely the most sexually disturbing game in the series. There are so many voice mails/pictures/ghosts/text messages about rape/molestation/pedophila, its kind of crazy. |

Ha, I sucked so bad at the picture nightmare that the game just let me pass. I literally got a text that said something like "I'm bored. Just move on." No idea how you did it because Raw Shocks were always on my ass even with the flashlight off as soon as I stepped out of the safe room. Now my Harry is rocking a pink sweater vest, no glasses, and Leon Kennedy-esque jacket.
My club had those pictures, but it seemed pretty tame. There was definitely a sign on it that said Cathouse. Maybe I'm just on a slightly less sexual path than you. I haven't read about how the different characters change appearance, but here's what I have: Dahlia - brown highlighted hair, with a punk outfit. Lisa - she's a redhead who wears jeans and a green jacket. Cybil - brunette with her hair down. Michelle - does she change? Pink dress, light brown hair. I made it to the Pawn Shop last night, but got black screen glitched on the way to the Lighthouse. I'm assuming I'm almost finished with my first playthrough since the game is supposed to be so short and that was such a significant location in the original game.

um, I salvaged my ending. basically the rest I'll type in white for spoilers. I had the Honey Pot but a lot of people said they got Cathouse, I think it depends on preferences or sexual profile. My characters looked like this: harry: first he changed into black leather jacket with open blue shirt and bared chest, then after the boat he slept with dahlia and put on an aloha shirt and pants dahlia: blonde with crazy amounts of makeup, pink bared midrift top and shot pants cyble: nice personality but blonde hair pulled back, heavy makeup and large breasts lisa: red scrubs, crashed an ambulance into the hospital was bleeding from the head. I arrived back to the apartment in time to watch her die (some people find her already dead depending on events) michelle: hair up with nice face/attitude and a formal dress, kind of a cream color? as for my ending... I am positive it was going for the sleavebag sexual ending but I saved it last minute but focusing on clearing tasks and my last game was almost entirely sex based, he made me seperate images into sexual/non-sexual, so I put them all in non-sexual. The test before that I had to pair couples and I did it based on where they were standing/background. The fact that he changed into the aloha shirt (which is what he is wearing at one point when fooling around on vacation) I think shows that I got the good ending, or the Love Lost ending. On a first playthrough there are 4, with that being the good ending, or the one pertaining to the main aspect of the story, and with her forgiving him and moving on, and the other 3 are basically drunken dad ending, sleazeball ending, and loser dad ending I think. oh yeah, my Raw Shocks were basically sex dolls, they had big breasts with marks on their arms and legs, almost like mannequins, and their heads had no faces with large lips, some of which had deformed faces/heds coming out of them. fuuuuucccckkkeeeeed. it definitely makes me want to play again, knowing the ending and certain details, I think I would have understood a lot more throughout the game. I started to pick it up towards the middle/end, but know it would be easier to understand why the characters act the way they do in the game, between dahlia/cybil and such. still a bit lost as to michelle's character and lisa's specific role, but I think the game developer's had a very specific reason for everything, so it would be nice to go back and understand the reasoning and try and get another ending. Maybe UFO? (it opens on second playthrough) Last edited by kuro_neko : 2009.12.13 at 02:27 PM. |

I got the good ending as well. After beating this game (spoilers for SH, SH3, and SH:SM):
I was a bit surprised by the twist at the end. I was thinking it would be something simple like Harry was just a guy who couldn't let go of the past and was looking for a little girl who didn't exist. I figured right from the opening scene that little girl Cheryl didn't currently exist since she wasn't in the car during the crash. I was trying to figure out where Alessa would fit in. Being the entire catalyst to fucking up the entire town in the original I thought she would at least be mentioned, but I guess Climax thought she would over-complicate their story. It was pretty cool to find out this game wasn't actually a re-imagining of the original game, but an alternate version of SH3 that continues after the bad ending of the original game instead of the good ending. Honestly, while I did like it, I think it would have worked better as it's own game instead of playing off of the first game. This game should have been the big budget HD sequel instead of Homecoming. It's a shame Konami seems to be burying this game.

haha, so the official release date of Bayonetta is still January 8th. Just that everybody in Germany owns it already. SEGA denies an early release.

out of all the SH games SM definitely has the most reply value. I feel like there was so much more I would have pieced together had I known the ending. That is the hallmark of a good game/book/movie, one that makes me want to go back and follow through with it to piece it together. You could say that the game is designed for multiple playthroughs as depending on which ending you get the events at the end change, but the videotape they show changes but all work together to coexist, it just depends on which aspect Cheryl lingers on. but the flow of events would go like this: harry and dahlia have abusive/bad relationship (weak and wicked ending), which leads to his drinking (drunk dad ending) and cheating (sleaze and sirens) and eventually his leaving (love lost) and then his accident. the major difference is that as the good ending love lost shows cheryl accept her dad and forgive him, and in the other three he reaches to touch but she blocks his hand and says it wasn't her fault and doesn't forgive him. Also, depending on your relationship with dahlia, you can see a segment of her meeting her mother outside therapy, putting her arm around her, and leaving together (I didn't get this because I was a beyotch to Dahlia I think). In Wicked and Weak it is said that Harry doesn't even turn to Ice, Cheryl just gets up and leave (it is the only ending not on youtube and I don't believe it has videotape footage, like the others do). Also, the credit song changes based on your ending, Love Lost is Acceptance, Sleaze and Sirens is Hell Frozen Rain, and I'm not sure about the other ones...
