PSX Extreme:
You know, video game titles have to be finite. They have to have an end. They can't run on forever because if you have to sit there reading, you'll never get to the actual game. The title of this game reads- "Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do to Deserve This?" They couldn't just cut it off after the first sentence? Really? Well, if the name is this crazy and quirky, we expect nothing less from the entertainment inside the box and based on what we've seen and heard so far, we'll definitely get something entirely original. You may be confused when you view the screenshots above so perhaps it's best to describe the experience as what might happen if a developer – a developer like Acquire, for instance – decided to blend the age-old concepts of Dig-Dug and a standard old-school role-playing format. In this way, we really have no idea how to classify this but just because the title is so ridiculously long, we're gonna be all spiteful and go with the shortest categorization possible: RPG. It might be inaccurate but hey, get over it. We like the contrast between title and genre.
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?
This is the game that could lead me to buying a PSP :-)
