I'm falling to pieces over this mess - Neverdead (Xbox 360)

[@KennyFrierson]

This guy is the most Xbox360 main character I've ever seen

[@NeapolitanApe]

A lot of ugly or uncool looking characters from that era lmao. Frank West, Niko Bellic, Marcus Phoenix. I love all of those characters, don't get me wrong.

[@some_polishguy5289]

this is the funniest fucking way ive ever heard someone describe a character

[@TheBadSpecialistOnTheRocks]

I kinda like him

[@AdamTheD]

I pre-ordered and spent $60 on this game. When I went to pick it up the guy behind the counter was like "Neverdead...? What's that?" I was the only one to pre-order the game at that store.

[@Mogrim27]

I really like the idea of being an immortal that can be dismembered. If only it was in a better game.

[@venomstar6789]

i think it was done in a better game stubs the zombie if am right

[@misterbadguy7325]

I think it was more the idea of making it a DMC-style hack-and-slash was what killed it. That's a style of gameplay that calls for mastery and style, and "you can fall apart into a pile of limbs at any moment" doesn't synergize with that. If anything, it creates this weird unstable equilibrium where you take one hit and that leads to you taking more damage. A good game would pull back on the combat and focus more on maximizing the potential of the dismemberment mechanic.

[@MattMcMuscles]

I can't believe I didn't recognize the woman character's voice. Michelle Ruff! YOKO FROM GURREN LAGANN!

Also Kawakami from Persona 5

[@lew1719]

She was Jill Valentine in Revelaitons, too!

Arcadia is voiced by Michelle Ruff, does alot of anime dubs and games, mainly known for Bleach's Rukia, Yokko Littner, Persona's Yukari, Crimson Viper, Sinon in SAo, currently Cream in Sonic, was Jill Valentine in the 2012 era of games, and Katherine in Catherine. (Speaking of Catherine, Laura Bailey is also in this as Nikki Summerfeild, because it's the early 2010's, she's in everything at this point)

[@ElvenSonic]

Munishin Amazon, last i checked (when i bought myself a copy a few months ago lol) had several listings for $1 (plus like four or five bucks shipping, depending) I still have the receipt because of how shocking that was. And as for the speedruns, yeah as of right now there still aren’t any. a friend and I were planning on recording a “Blind Speedrun” just to get the world record first before anyone remembered this game existed, but then Matt started mentioning it in videos so it’s in public consciousness again. ...also neither of us wanted to break the seals on our $1 game...

Sad thing is it could have been a great action game with just a bit more time in the oven (and overhauling some of the mechanics). It has an almost Suda51 vibe with how weird it all is.
