No More Heroes takes place in the same world as Silver Case and Killer 7 officially now, as in for real real.
So what did they retcon to make the two settings fit together? Silver Case & Killer7 don't even fully align to begin with coz K7 is meant to be a completely different alternate reality that acheived world peace. Silver Case is more in line with our timeline. (Pre 2008)
I would argue the TSA connection is stronger considering Travis actually flies on a plane to tokyo, walks around the 25th ward and interacts with characters living there (that's the only TSA connection that makes any kind of sense too)
It really annoys me that Travis is like some god now, in this setting. I liked Killer7 coz I just thought of it as a political thriller, but apparently it was always meant to be Cape-shit superheroes, lol.
Sure there was that chapter with the Handsome Men, but I honestly thought that wasn't meant to be taken literally. I always thought it was propaganda.
A sad shame when you think about it. Killer7 actually talks about the whole government sanctioned (female) child body harvesting operation, which is actually real. (China!) K7 was talking about such real shit, and it depicted just how gruesome and gangster all world governments are when it showed that Mexican dude getting executed after being presented with the severed head of his daughter.
That shit is real ass violence that goes on daily in China, Mexico and the entirety of the Middle East. Nope let's ignore that. Let's just suck off Travis, the Super Nerd who references ancient ass wrestling from the 80s when he most likely wasn't even born yet.
I'm not hating on the games. More power to the people who love the changes. All it does for me though is make me say, I'm glad I found Xenoblade. Even when you retroactively go back to Xenogears & Saga, the plots aren't in the same setting but they're all talking about real shit that could help you grow as a person since they have such a strong grasp on what binds society both as a prison, and as a civilization that's moving forward.
They're not even necessarily moving upward or progressing towards a utopia. They merely move forward because it's better than being complacent. I immediately notice this once you get to the World tree and see how advanced their previous civilization used to be. (Xenogears had similar scenes.)
What KTP had going in its favor is that they talked about the criminal underworld and how closely connected they are to the governments which rule us.
Then you get to NMH, "Anime is real if you believe it's real" or some other consumerist nonsense.
I'm not judging. I just don't like it, and don't understand why the settings had to be merged. It doesn't make sense to me coz MS, FSR, SC, & K7 were structured around bureaucrats, election-meddling, secret societies and all sorts of 5th column power structures where groups of people consolidate their powers to gain the upper hand on one another, through the information & knowledge they had.
Those games were placed in our world, coz in our world, we can't do anything about those existing power-structures and it's the same case for the people within those games. When Garcian found out that he's the Killer7. You didn't see him gun down the USA government or Japanese government for making him.
He simply cried. The only he could do was influence blocs of power to politically maneuver USA to nuke Japan or Japan into attacking the USA.
What I found most clever about K7 was how it implies that China was the mastermind behind the entire conflict of K7 coz war between those two actually would benefit China, since China only needs one of them, preferably USA. K7 was a game that I thought was so genius that I went ahead and made a site out of it, coz I never saw a game before that went that in-depth with its politics.
Although Hybrid Front is another one that's pretty deep, but I didn't even know about that game until last year through Mega Drive Mini.
TLDR: How do these power structures in K7/SC/FSR/MS maintain their hold on societies when Nerd God Travis can simply walk up to all of them and cut them all into pieces? LOL!
MS is only part of the power structure coz it's a case within the Silver Case that got covered up. Yayoi herself is like a physical manifestation of the Power structure within the KTP games. You know she did, but you can't prove it. Anyone who may have known, are all dead. That's the type of dread that KTP games had. Even FSR ends on a bittersweet note when you realize you were a sleeper agent all along.
LOL the Wiki tries to claim that Mondo & the SC Sumio aren't the same person when even the fucking ending of FSR directly tells you they're they same person. OHHHH, but I supposedly made everything up. Says who? Some fat fuck?
See this is exactly what I'm talking about. How the fuck am I supposed to know where to look, to find that page?
My first thought was to click Other ghm.
I think it'd be better if the front page directly linked to featured pages within the site which could represented as image hotlinks, with that rgb crap being one of the featured pages. I understand why you waste so much space on the frontpage with them big fucking letters coz you're forced to directly tell & instruct the modern internet audience, due to autistic retards who are so lacking in critical thinking skills that you honestly need to spell everything out to these useless chumps.
:lol: :twisted: :lol:
When the hell did everyone on internet become so autistic anyway? Anyone else ever notice how you're forced to speak literally now, because the internet suddenly became populated with "No fun Allowed!" autists who take everything you say literally? I'm just referring to this site's front page, which is funny as hell but for some reason most people who view it take it 100% literally as though it weren't an obvious joke? WTF is up with that?
Are they just pretending to be retarded?
I really miss the days when everyone (by everyone, I mean mostly the people who used this site but didn't actually post here.) would jam to the United Jazzy tune and then say "I came here from PH51" cept they would say the entire site name, not the abrevation.
