No more grinding

The assassination missions that open up after beating Destroyman make No More Heroes' grinding laughably. Purely and simply laughable. In particular, Assassination Gig 07 makes grinding no problem whatsoever. Finishing it yields about £100,000 and so far the missions have required £300,000 or less.

So now there's not much to complain about after sessions. Except for the fact that my Zelda combat training has made me far too used to taking enemies on one by one while they more or less queue up. This is problematic only in the Free Fight missions, but they're a sizeable part of the sections of the game between title fights. So it seems like skipping them cuts out major parts of the game. Though, really, it's not a game with a lot of content - most of it's repeated over and over and that's that.

Actually, watching the original trailer for the game makes me wonder if maybe there was more game planned at first. At the very least, a major style change took place between that trailer and the actual game. Most noticeably, everyone's much more gaunt. It looks like there's a healthy flush in everyone's cheeks in the trailer.

See for yourself. Below are the original trailer, and a video preview of the game:
