I care but I just got back from wageslaving and I'm tired
i care but like anon said, i just got off work. I'm downloading it atm. Most people aren't talking about it because its actually a good game and the people that care are playing it.
Ganker in a nutshell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUomVzVcNR0
>Most people aren't talking about it because its actually a good game and the people that care are playing it.
Oh yes I am sure that is the case lmao
can i play dmc without playing the emo puppet character yet
Nope
>no
even if you're playing on console vergil has been out for years now
well, Vergil doesn't really allow you to experience the campaign's story though
no
just play FF16 if you want to play the whole game as Nero/Dante
actually I think DMC5 has mods that let you skip V's sections or play them as Nero anyways
maybe I'll do that, nero was cool to play and i was trying to get a hang of him and then they give you a boring character to play in between levels that easily gets S+ and i don't know what i'm doing with him
>just play FF16
lol FF16 is shallow garbage with standard combos and cinematic cutscene attacks.
it's nothing like DMC.
something tells me you've never played a DMC game or FF16
Stop trying to pretend FF16 adds up to DMC just for copying attack animations.
Embarrassing.
the combat director of FF16 is literally a veteran designer that worked on DMC4 and 5, I'm not sure why you insist, in the face of all evidence, that it isn't trying to be DMC
“Trying to be DMC” and “Is as good as DMC” aren’t the same.
I agree it wishes it was DMC. I think you’re moronic for thinking it does it well.
"as good as DMC" is not the same as "nothing like DMC" moron, you're the one that said that
I agree
>Every anon is one person but me
Chucklefrick.
It isn't bad but visual similarities =/= similar complexity or depth. XVI is designed to be gateway drug to action games for an audience that has only played turn-based games or the bullshit in XV; it has all the building blocks but with less granularity.
>slows the side by side to two separate speeds so the timing is in sync for the comparison
i laff'd
wow cool a standard combo with no variety, a helm breaker and a stinger that doesn't even knock enemies back.
then a bunch of long custcene attacks that would have been interactive combos in a real game.
also FF16 is 90% dogshit filler, scripted events and custecens with atrociously embarrassing writing.
it's a bad movie barely any of it is real gameplay.
>custecens
get the frick out of here thirdie
>a helm breaker and a stinger that doesn't even knock enemies back.
But they do, magic burst.
Okay, I think I need this to be explained.
Does this tracker only count people playing the game at the moment? Because if that's the case, it doesn't actually say anything in terms of sales.
Not him, nor do I care about calling Hi-Fi Rush a flop or not. It's only the players playing at the moment on Steam. SteamDB has a separate estimate for owners numbers.
https://steamdb.info/app/1817230/charts/
It's impossible to know for sure so different stat platforms make different estimates so you can take the most generous or the most pessimistic estimate depending on what stance you want to take. This is only an estimate of Steam owners too so it's only a part of the full picture.
Well as far as the devs are concerned, that 300K is what matters, and for something like HFR, that's damn good numbers. I'm hoping it'll set something of a precedent for more companies to take a risk like this to fully develop a game and just put it out there. It may be the shot in the arm the industry needs.
its on gamepass moron. nobody is buying this on steam
so is this game worth buying or is it just a basic dmc style game with brown people
Genuinely forgot the update was today until I saw a thread earlier. It's not as substantial as people speculated from the 10 achievements being added but it seems fun, I'll try it later.
It's quite good. The combat has just enough depth in both the action and rhythm elements to be engaging, though if you have acumen in both genres it can be a little easy, which is probably why the update is focused on extra post-game modes.
DMC has more specials like different launchers, stinger, shuffle, drive.
Hi-Fi rush mainly only has combos. any move with different properties can't be used when ever you want to string together creative stuff like DMC.
everything is part of a combo string which means you'll be starting the same combo a lot and just going down different combo "paths" like a warriors game.
it's good that standard combo strings have a lot of paths but not good that that's 99% of your combat. the game needed directional specials with good instant utility.
another thing that sucks is a lot of your other utility is on shitty assists which suck and feel cheap to use. you just call a character in and they do a string of attacks and then cease to exist again.
they're all on cooldown timers so it feels like playing some shitty mobile RPG and what's worse the game has a lot of shitty artificial mechanics that force you to use them.
the worst thing about the combat has to be the fact that there's a huge obnoxious QTE prompt at the end of every combo. this shit does not need to exist and is an eyesore.
Sounds like twewy, except they have utility pins. If I liked those games, will I like this game?
I loved NEO and had a great time with Hi-Fi Rush. If anything getting good at the rhythm combat made me better at landing combos in NEO.
Cool, I'll give the game a shot then. Thanks, anons!
I'd cosign that. Both have a similar style to them visually and the assist system does let you multi-task in a way that's like a simplified version of NEO's system, while HFR's rhythm mechanics is a more advanced version of how NEO gives you bonuses for dodging on-beat.
Shoka > Peppermint though. 808 > Shoka.
>QTE prompt at the end of every combo. this shit does not need to exist and is an eyesore.
>t'moron who doesn't realize this is rhythm game
t. moron who can't play rhythm games.
it's a rhythm game because there's at beat. you don't need a QTE if the music and animation show where the fricking beat is.
you don't need a fricking prompt because you're not a deaf moron who can't feel the rhythm or simply look at the animations.
plus Nero and Vergil's strictly timed mechanics in DMC are not even rhythm based yet they work. the game doesn't assume you're moron and put a huge fricking QTE on screen for them. these moronic devs would have ruined DMC with stupid invasive shit like that if they made it.
So you're complaint is that there's a prompt then not that there's a QTE?
It's not even a prompt, it's just a visual metronome for people who have no rhythm.
It would get annoying and completely fry casuals' brains to stay on rhythm and remember more complex combos
Yeah the game definitely needs a lock-on and directionals for some more moves. Also changing the fire debuff to tapping the shoulder buttons instead of wiggling the joystick.
>saying that after Nico
>saying that after Golria
>saying that after Lucia
you've never played DMC, Black person.
Nico is israeli Italian. Lucia is probably Okinawan. The only black person is them race swapping Morrison.
it's fun, literally dmc + a rhythm game
and it's not woke
feels like a cartoon you'd watch in the 90s or early 2000s
>and it's not woke
And yet the fricking westoid dev couldn't contain himself and for some reason gave hints that Peppermint is gay which is a huge stain on otherwise fun narrative
Peppermint and Chai tagteam Korsica. It’s canon trust me.
>Peppermint is gay
So she's straight?
I played it with goypass like everyone else but had a hankering for it 5 months later, grabbed it when it was 20 bucks instead of giving 5 more dollars to microsoft. it's the kind of game that you just suddenly want to play out of nowhere.
the game has like two brown people and one of them is mocha brown
>Cant stop thinking about the browns
Jesus christ you americans
looks gay
>huge free content update
What did they add to it?
Free challenge towers. This is probably the update meant to test if its still drawing enough interest for more meaty DLC.
Mikami’s retirement probably has the Devs going real slow and real careful. Their success was a surprise and the game was an experiment. They’re gonna be cautious.
Was the game actually a success from the devs mouth, or is that your speculation? I've heard both but I don't know from who or who to trust. Are rhe devs at least happy?
Microsoft paid them so they don't care, but based on Microsoft's internal tracking of people playing the game its a flop
Why lie anon?
https://www.gameshub.com/news/news/hi-fi-rush-xbox-sales-performance-2614068/
I’ll be more specific anon.
Hi Fi Rush is a success. Compared to a large number of modern games, it was made for peanuts. Very cheap.
It made all that and better back, surprising everyone. You, me, Xbox, the devs. Nobody actually thought the game was gonna get as positive feedback as it got, since it was a small game.
Could you sound any more like a marketer? Honestly you sound like a false flagging tendie or something lmao.
The truth is twice as ridiculous.
I guess I can believe that.
The game did make its investment back and nobody did think it would. Well, no, untrue. Make like most of it back or break even. It wasn’t exactly a swimming week for launches.
I’ve wonder frequently how much of Forspoken flopping on PS5 didn’t just supercharge the impact of HifiRush in the eyes of random fricks. Like, any game could’ve released besides that shitshow and looked AAA.
How many games actually get 10k+ reviews on steam?
Not on Switch or Playstation.
Oh my fricking god.
This was the reason? Jesus frick I just instinctively expected it to be on most platforms.
Damn it makes sense, this board is comprised 90% of plebs.
>game comes out on Switch or PS4
>I can buy and play it easily
>game comes out on PC/Xbox only
>I have to buy it on Steam, jump through hoops to get a controller working because it NEVER works properly out of the box with any game, likely put up with the nonsense Xbox controller button prompts (and you know the keyboard controls will be nonexistent or garbage), get my computer hooked up to my television, and deal with all the assorted bullshit that comes with modern operating systems
>no guarantee performance won't be all over the place like most modern PC games
I'm sorry, I put up with a lot of this kind of shit for decades because I was PC-only until I got more money as an adult, and I'm just sick of it. I'm tired and old and the barriers to enjoyment for PC gaming keep getting worse and I need someone to pre-chew my games for me.
I'll get around to playing this game at some point but it's hard to prioritize when I know it's going to be such a pain in the ass to even get started.
If you have problems with using controllers on steam games I'm sorry but it's because you're a moron.
It's as easy as right clicking the game, controller settings, and force steam controller settings.
found the moron refusing to just get an xbox controller that always works flawlessly on PC
Steam handles your controller for you. You have to be an actual moron to not be able to figure it out. Please buy a console and don't ever come back.
How technically inept are you that you're struggling with a controller on PC
It's also on GP. Which is excellent for subscribers but good luck convincing Steamgays to pay full price for a GP game and good luck convincing them to play a game not on Steam. Timmy has been trying for years and all the free games in the world can't help him there.
It's like how Hades and Outer Wilds were Epic exclusives while in Early Access and barely got much attention, then they hit steam and consoles and suddenly they were huge and people couldn't stop talking about them. GP/Xbox is the same as EGS sadly. I think Starfield might end up the same way unless people can pirate it early.
Don’t forget it had the distinction of releasing in between other launches elsewhere that went so insanely poorly that it killed the studios making the other gamea.
Being mediocre in a sea of bullshit is all success requires anymore.
Personally I think Hi-Fi Rush is great but it's just that Xbox+PC+GP day 1 is kind of a death sentence. You don't really hear about many day 1 GP success stories, Wo Long is already forgotten despite just having new DLC release too while the Nioh 2 gays still jerk off the game constantly and Jack's game gets brought up more. I think there's a good chance that P3R is going to end up the same way because it's very hard for people to justify paying $70 for a game that others are getting for $15.
GP kills a game’s momentum like poison kills rats if the Dev can’t keep up at least bimonthly talk worthy content.
If a game is on GP but isn’t frequently the host to some new content or event it gets buried by the gamepass games that do have those.
Wo Long is just generally worse than Nioh 1&2 and SoP to be honest, plus it has a bad PC port despite Nioh 2 running great on PC and SoP getting some patches to run better after it launched. I feel worse for Wild Hearts which didn't have that sort of launch and isn't truly on GP (just a trial via EA's launcher) but was forgotten nearly instantly despite legitimately being the best not-MH hunting action game because of the truly bad PC port. I enjoyed my time with it but it ran like ass on my 3050 on upper-mid settings and crashed for no reason outside of combat.
Wild Hearts got dumpstered because EA is a c**t about GP.
Went from a game I was interested in to a never buy just because EA are homosexuals.
>and SoP
You relly just tried to sneak that pile of garbage in there lmao. No, Wo Long is miles better, its not even in the same conversation. I'm very done with morons trying to save anything with FF in the title regardless of low quality
SoP is the only Final Fantasy game I've given more than 2 hours in my life, I easily put it above Wo Long & Nioh 1. Can't say I blame you for assuming some sort of fanboyism though.
I think the difference is partially there not being any sunk cost in Wo Long's case. People already bought SoP so they were more willing to shell out for the DLC so we actually had quite a few discussion threads about each DLC pack for SoP on here. But buying DLC for a game that you don't actually own is a much harder sell so people aren't interested in buying Wo Long's DLC and we don't even see people discussing it on here as a result.
Honestly I prefer buying GamePass games on Steam over using GamePass since the Xbox PC client is absolute dogshit. And FWIW, HFR actually did do pretty well on Steam
>HFR actually did do pretty well on Steam
Oh yes
16K reviews is around a million sales, which is pretty frickin good for a new IP in a relatively niche genre with zero pre-release advertising that is available on Game Pass day 1
DMC 5 certainly did not sell 6 million copies on PC, stop coping. HFR was a flop
why do you think Capcom is shifting their priorities to PC :^)
PisStation keep losing
no physical edition either.
>deathloop and GhostWire Tokyo on PlayStation
>this game trapped on Xbox
Really wish Microsoft would frick off.
Can’t even play it on one x because ?
>the two most insufferable communities are barred from participating in discussion
Thank you Jesus
Frick me this explains SO much about these threads.
The artstyle, character design and overall aesthetic looks awful, sorry. Yes, I am that shallow.
Okay but now look at korsicas ass
because the scummy c**ts sullied it with denuvo.
the same company vandalised one of their other games by adding denuvo a year later frankly they should have their legs broken for that.
I'm playing other stuff right now
this game is blatantly shilled. it's so sad that there's no organic demand.
Then why haven't I been paid for my Korsica fapfic yet?
I heard they added turbo mode now? Guess I could give the story mode a replay. Challenge towers never really interest me.
Flavor of the week.
The gameplay just isnt fun. Either make a rhythm game or an 3d beat em up but both is too much to keep track of.
I beat the game and enjoyed it but I had no desire to do the post game content and even less to reinstall the game because of an update
>and no one seems to care about it.
do you really want your favorite game to go mainstream? are you sure this is what you want? I thought you frickheads were pro gate keeping?
>game gets little to no recognition
>"Wahhh why does no one care about this game"
>game attracts millions of players
>"Wahhh the game is now infested with normies"
pick a fricking side you morons
Stay humble hifisisters, no one cares about your children's game
this isnt a 10/10 game though
snoy cope
A lot of OPs about the game lately talk it WAY up to bait people for some reason, usually mentioning DMC5 & Bayo 3. It's in contention for my GOTY but I would be outright lying if I said I thought it was a 10.
It is a 10.
It's a 9 and a GOTYC, not a 10. Maybe if this update is really good it could be a 9.5 since it'll add more difficult content but I haven't tried it yet.
I honestly dont see any 2023 game being better than Hi Fi
TOTK and XVI are definitely better games
>implying
Gamepass?
miyazaki has DONE IT AGAIN
looks very slow and clunky. like a fromsoft game.
yeah frickin right, i take back your digits due to shitty post
I didn't either but I'm 130 hours deep into Street Fighter 6, it has a pull on me that's made it my #2 for now. Usually not interested in the big-budget games even from Japan, plus no PS5 so XVI isn't on my radar, so most of HFR's competition will be AA or indie titles; Bayo Origins, RE4make, Pizza Tower, & the Kirby remake are in my 8-8.5 range at the moment and I think a handful of games that aren't out yet could get close.
System Shock Remake so far for me. Both definitely aren't 10/10s though. More like 8/10s with 10/10 moments.
I'll say it's an 8.5/10 and highly underrated.
I only got Korsica and stopped playing, my feeling was its an 8/10. Might update my rating later once I finish the game.
yeah I'd give it a 6/10 and I usually love games that mix rhythm with other genres
I lost interest after getting Korsica. I might revisit it later this year but I have other games I'm checking out now. I think FF XVI filled my action quota for the year lol
Did they advertise it in a meaningful way? No? Then no shit nobody is going to notice it.
The trailer for the update not being in the big Xbox showcase but like two days later on its own is fricked. They made a big deal out of the shadow drop in January but half a year later and they don't even advertise it in their big ad presentation.
goty until starfield comes out
koriscas new outfits suck and not lewd enough for me to care
they never lewd dyke characters
i already beat the game, im not gonna go back and replay it so soon
my backlog is infinite and my time on earth limited. should have done a story dlc or started working on a sequel already
it pisses me off there is no physical copy.
I care
thank you marketer-kun for the fifth thread on this today
Chai is for ____
deflowering and impregnating peppermint and korsica
chai is asexual, nonsexual even and a sterile FTM
Peppermint can watch.
>Yuri cuckqueening AND milf fetish
I need to get back to writing man.
Korsica is SO FRICKING HOT
that motherfricker looks like christopher robin
Gay men.
I want to impregnate him.
i would frick his bussy
Impregnation by large and powerful men
the new BPM mode is neat but I suck at these games so I just play through the story mode once then move on
It's no masterpiece.
>scooby doo looking ass
>calarts slop
please stop abusing asian devs with your vile westoid "director"
moron.
>scooby doo
>calarts
are you just spamming random words that sound like insults?
Buzzwords is all they know how to bait with after a certain point. Most of the fricks who post salt about games this small lack the creativity to shitpost in interesting ways.
You're right, it's not as quirky and randum as the MC...
I care about Korsica.
Ganker doesn't play games. They need streamers or e-celebs to tell them what to play and even then, they just watch a youtube video of it.
As someone who beat this game into the dust sans actually getting the gold guitar cus I didn't wanna grind, are the challenge towers worth coming back for? I can't imagine there's anything more significant than what the rhythm tower can offer
Has anybody even bought the DLC costume packs? The boss outfits and Japan-themed one. They're neat but for $5 frick no. Only thing in either I'd legitimately use is the shamisen.
If it was 10/10 people would play it. Nobody plays shitbox
yeah nobody cares about your shit game with lesbos except for cat frickers cry me a river
Love coming to a hifi thread to see people arguing about ff16. Classy
there's nothing to really talk about for Hi-Fi tbh, no one has even played the update yet
Both happen to be games with combat directors pulled from companies with a history of great action games (Masaaki Yamada, Ryota Suzuki) trying to combine that style of action with a different genre (Rhythm & RPG) and an understanding that a lot of people who pick the game up will be new to DMC-esque combat.
I'm not playing any more of the updates until they add Playstation button prompts, or at least the ability to swap to that "Four buttons in a diamond shape" thing Switch games have. I hate Xbox controllers.
Game's fantastic, but I can't get in the rhythm if I have to constantly keep remembering which button is which, and their insistence on keeping Denuvo shit in the game means I can't just mod different prompts in without some shitty .exe patcher that breaks every time they update the game.
I just got my ass whooped by bpm rush
creampie sex with korsica
I am not good at action games
But this game is severely lacking in aerial strings and options right?
You don't have to be a master at juggling shit to do well. If you're not good at action games and also not great at keeping tempo it might be rough though because some of the midgame shit is pretty punishing and a few of the bossfights are straight-up nonsense if you're bad at both genres.
hi-fi rush has more air combo strings than Dante and Nero.
what it lacks is more attacks utility attacks like Calibur.
I think their idea is the all the assists are Air OK and provide utility but yeah, as Chai alone you're limited to your hop-over after the magnet pull in terms of midair utility, it's why the SPECTRA Door where you can't touch the ground is so tricky even fully upgraded.
>it's why the SPECTRA Door where you can't touch the ground is so tricky even fully upgraded.
I still have no fricking clue how to beat that one.
No. You have a grapple, multiple launchers, utility characters that can launch or continue aerial strings, and specials.
Oh and everything cancels into each other since you can dash or parry to interrupt a combo and start a new one, or summon a utility character during a combo.
The combat gets very complicated very quick, but it's not like dante in dmc5 constant weapon and style swapping complicated.
but I always just do square triangle square triangle and square triangle triangle triangle or just square square square square and then I'm on the ground and I don't know what to do but repeat and mash assist
I always try to mix up my combos. I usually do stuff like
>dash -> light, light light, heavy -> dash or parry -> heavy -> heavy -> heavy -> beat combo before the last heavy attack -> summon an assist or do a super
Or
>light light -> dash -> heavy heavy -> light -> character assist -> beat combo -> grapple reset -> light light light -> heavy -> dash -> heavy -> heavy heavy light -> super
The game gives you plenty of options. Mashing frick you over when you try rhythm tower or play on hard.
I mash on beat
The combat is super easy if you have any rhythm because of parries and jam attacks. Also Mac's charge attack is absurd crowd control.
I want to play it but I'm traveling so I cant which fricking sucks.
have they modded in custom music with the same meter? does it work well?
https://www.nexusmods.com/hifirush/mods/latest/Not yet. Music system is too complex for a quick slapdash mod, and modding is slow because every time they patch the game mods break thanks to Denuvo.
post that fat ass scottish chick
I don't care about it because everyone who talks about it is an obnoxious butthole. Not something I want anything to do with.
GOYSLOP ON GOYPASS, it doesn't matter if Forspoken sucked "too", it wasn't a first party game like this garbage. They OWN the parent company which own the studio that made this troon game, xcucks
I drew another korsica
cool 'sica
Pity bump.
I hate cel shading.
I hate english dubs.
I hate rhythm anything.
I hate that main character design like you wouldn't believe.
Everything in this game made me actively not wanna touch it.
this
the shitty ironic weeb pandering and fujo westoid Anime™ inspired cartoon had an inbred baby" art style is nauseating and absolutely disgusting which puts it in the "never touching this dogshit" category for me. Doesn't help that 99% of the threads are marketers shilling it 24/7 and playing themselves off as genuine anons(lusting over the mascot character and making posts that are basically what an A.I would think organic discussion here constitutes), the whole thing is just vile and dishonest
ok then what would an organic post look like if people want to discus the game?
He doesn't know because he's a huge lala prancing homosexual homosexual.
I saw people talking about this game here and never would've heard of it if it weren't for Ganker. Something that was a FRICKING COMMON SIGHT ON THIS GOD DAMN BOARD WHEN YOU Black folk ACTUALLY PLAYED FRICKING VIDEO GAMES.
The chicks are hot and not overtly girlboss. Chai is a great funny MC that actually fricking develops into a good hero archtype towards the end. The artstyle is fresh and reminiscent of a good Saturday morning cartoon. All the members of the team are cool and learn to become bros and help kick literal megacorp israelite ass.
Now excuse me as I go replay through the amazing ending sequence of the story mode after shaking the rust off in the new challenge modes. Power Tower kicked my ass.
I feel like threads about games like this are one of the few islands in this piss ocean that demonstrate that some people here still play games. Certainly I wouldn't have heard about it if it wasn't for these threads. It's really sad though that it's impossible to talk about mainstream games here. That being said, the people in the Final Fantasy threads that can actually write something also show signs that they care, even if they no longer play the games.
At this point, it's rather fair to be tired of gaming. If you're over 30 you've seen at least a decade of nearly all properties you cared about die.
>If you're over 30 you've seen at least a decade of nearly all properties you cared about die.
Might be a correlation to how shitty discussions have gotten in recent years. Zoomers grew up with the shitty versions of the games boomers loved growing up while also having to watch everyone shit on said new versions.
I think the combative nature between people who like the new shitty thing against the people who like the old good thing is for the most part healthy. Because how else does a young person learn what came before and how things are better.
I think the problem that makes discussions shit here is that the people who are new to the Internet, regardless of their age, basically past around 2010 when basically the entire population got online showed up with the impression that the default behaviour of the Internet is to be shit and so they act out their worst impulses to be shit and it has a compounding effect that everyone's shit to each other. Whereas the people who were around before 2010 learned to some degree that you don't feed the troll and you ignored people who were just bad actors or disingenuous. And now because the majority cannot ignore anybody being disingenuous, it creates this feedback loop that reinforces the notion that people are supposed to be shit, when before, discussion was good because there was this notion that the person who hated something hated it for good reasons or wanted to love it, there was this thing in common between people who disagreed. And without that common sense of care, when you just by default hate the person you're talking to, you can't talk about anything.
It also doesn't help that the moderation cannot (or will not) do anything about the repugnant shitty people who spend their entire lives being shit here. It's a clear downside to being anonymous. It was fine being anonymous when everyone wanted to belong to a community; it's bad being anonymous when people are here strictly to be shit.
fully agreed, the bad faith shitposting is getting too tiresome, but at the same time I'd rather have made-up negative opinions (like we see with every big release like FF16 recently) than squeaky-clean corpo wiener-sucking like on gaming subreddits
Yup, the High Guardian Spice of video games.
these but then I actually played it and realized I was wrong
>I hate english dubs.
This isn't a dub. EN voice acting is the original, in this case, because the director recorded the scratch audio for the entire game himself during development. That's why all the cutscenes are animated to the English voices. Some of it was left in because the devs liked it.
I really likewd it but I don't feel the need to go back and play it again any time soon.
Post the new costumes though, please.
how in the frick are you supposed to get S on in bpm tower
need korsica mommy
Microsoft is not gonna start another shill campaign just for a minor update.
is chai a virgin? are any of the crew virgins? I know /ourguy/ CNMN gets some though.
Chai strikes me as the sort of dude whose dorky natural charm in high school was enough for a girl to throw herself at him and suck his dick while essentially asking for her to frick him before he chickened out and got zero more action for another five years. Not that I'm speaking from personal experience.
Literally me
Chai is FtM.
I want to love the game but it has serious crashing issues that I dont have the patience to sus out.
>Update your video drivers
no
can we have a hi-fi rush thread without you homosexuals coming out of the woodworks talking about how you want to frick the cat
Come on now it wasn't that great.
It was decent for a free game but that's it.
If there's nobody willing to say it in six months, then I will: "Hi-Fi Rush" is an awful title. Loved the game, but I have no clue what the point of the title is and it doesn't really get across what the game is either. To me it reads like a pre-production title Johannes put together to get across the game's overall vibe that they never got around to changing, like Octopath Traveler and Triangle Strategy.
True, the game lacked a dramatic 100% serious title drop somewhere near the end
Hi-Fi is an obvious reference to the music aspect itself. Rush is the thrill you get when you start getting S ranks for On Beat.
sensible chuckle
This in the new challenge towers? Also please tell me you can do turbo mode in the story.
Upgrades in the tower can have a bonus that lowers your multiplier of a "bug" that increases it, one of the "bugs" is that filter, the impossible to parse 480p mode.
I really do hope they get together in the sequel.
it looks like anime man. If you are gonna play a cartoon game at least play south park. Shitty fricking anime shit. God damn man. Grow some pubes. Shit.
videogames are cartoons.
Why did a budget Gamepass rhythm game cause so much Sony seethe?
some moronic shitposter got it in his head that HFR was a serious threat to the forespoken game or something
Seriously?
yea, he kind of shitted up a more than few HFR thread with completely nonsensical insane posts and would go at it for hours, it was so obvious which threads he was in and which ones he weren't
it's not a Barry thing, it's a sony thing. if you looked around they all hate hi-fi rush. Xbox's console exclusive doing better than PS5 hurts the ego of all of them, not just the FF15 dickrider
He sounds like a bit of an butthole.
>Seriously?
welcome to the autism that is Barry
It is what helps the shills sleep at night. They can’t fathom that it is possible to hate both woke pieces of shit.
>10/10
woah there cowboy, it's a step below DMC 4 and a step above DmC. That's where I could put it in terms of gameplay, but in terms of story and looks it's alright.
7/10 compared to other games in the genre released within a decade, an 8/10 compared to AAA shit pumped out since 2015.
oh god 2015 is nearing a decade old

>Super stylized

>Great soundtrack
>But its a rhythm game
There goes any interest I have, DMC styled action combat and rhythmic timing sounds like it goes together as well as water and oil.
What about Exceed/Max-Act, Judgement Cut/JC Loops, Royal Guard, or Dive Kick Loops?
*and audio cues.
Ironic because all of those are way harder than a set rhythm which any bumble frick with 4/4 sense can do.
And HFR is easy even on Hard, only things that suck is fire trails on the ground not going away completely or the Samurai dudes. Final phase Kale is a Black person too but that's par for final bosses.
First BPM Rush run, 170BPM is cancerous and the hardest stage IMO; you have a big blue tank, a green sword & shield guy, and a flame boxer on the field at all times. 200BPM was oddly easy, possibly because I built a ton of batteries in it very quickly for some reason and was able to High Pitch Punch into Peppermint air combo into magnet backstab ender over and over. I think I can do better, I'm just rusty after months away.
Samurai & Kale are based for actually making you parry on the off-beat.
same boat, forgot how to play and all and by the time I got to 170bpm I started mashing and go on autopilot
got an A though
Why did you post this?
Because the idea that rhythm and action games don't go together when the fun is learning fricking boss patterns, AUDIO cues and maximizing combos that utilize timing aren't very antithetical at all. In fact they usually go hand in hand.
her face do a funny
I am high, anon. What on Earth did you post as well? I do not understand how they pertain to rhythym.
You are right, though. It can be hard for gameplay and rhythym to come together for someone whose not in the right mindset, but that doesn't mean the entire subgenre should be written off.
audio cues, timing and execution are very much the same. call it reductive, but the only difference between playing/executing well in a hard action game and a rhythm game is APM, which the latter has a higher demand for most of the time. Where as action games have a character you pilot and maneuver that has recovery and startup frame to accoutn for and hitboxes etc.
If anything an action game is an easier version of a rhythm game, this is why people call Sekiro a rhythm game all the fricking time, they're basically right except you don't fight to a set beat.
>You don't fight to a set beat.
You fight to the beat of the swords.
Games are different to everybody. I struggle with Rhythym games and have no care for Sport Games, but give me an Aircraft Simulator or something like Foxhole and I'm off. I wish to try this game, but I need to track down a physical copy.
>learn combos with a certain timing
>have to change the timing in the next fight
>combat never becomes instinctual
start feeling good and then it's back to flubbing combos like a scrub. not fun
>DMC styled action combat and rhythmic timing sounds like it goes together as well as water and oil.
What makes you think that they mix that badly? It sounds like a perfect mix.
anon, the whole basis of the DMC-like "genre" is timing your attacks in a rhythm.
it wasnt made or published by nintendo so it is neither a 10/10 nor a good game
that is the Gankerirgin logic btw
Nig side haircut womxn
What's in the update?
For me it was like a 8, I can't say much negative things about the game but the gameplay got quite repetitive a couple levels after getting Korisca
Maybe if I played less games I'd like it way more, it lacked a form of novelty or something for me idk why
really?I think that's where the game picks back up honestly, where it drags is post-Rekka to after Korsica's shitty QTE fight. The lead-up to Korsica is mind-numbingly long and then you're hit with a non-traditional boss fight after being cucked out of a real fight with the Jojo dude. After Korisca you get a relatively short level and a half for Mimosa and then it's a basically a straight shot to the end of the game.
Korsica fight is excellent though. One of the best original tracks in the game, perfect pacing, great way to introduce dodges to the parry sequences, top banter. One of my favorite bosses in years, though Roquefort & Kale were really great as far as traditional bosses go, barring the slow pace of Kale's second phase.
The Korsica fight is fun for sure and one of the coolest momenta in the game. But its placement in the story is awfully paced. There is way too long of an stretch without any proper traditional boss fights, and it makes the game drag a bit
Its onily on Xbox and the PC version does not support Playstation controller at all. I would play the frick out of that game and would be a GOTY contender if I could just play it on PS5 but frick that
How do you not have you PS4+ controller hooked up to your PC, I even have a DS2 adapter and steam read it right away.

good games with no advertising always bomb
I hate Nickelodeon and things that remind me of Nickelodeon.
Terrible writing and weird animation choices for cutscenes.
>terrible writing
how?
>Zanzo: Mister Chai, was it?
>Chai: That's MISTER Chai to you!
>Zanzo: (genuinely confused) That's... What I just called you.
>Chai: Okay then!
That was funny, though.
The game continually makes fun of Chai's idiocy
>the writing is supposed to be bad
>The exchange perfectly establishes Chai as an idiot who doesn't fully listen to Zanzo so he can blurt out a comeback for the sake of looking cool
>it's bad dialogue
You must've been fun in English class
>Millennial writing
I’ll write this in a way you will understand by being overly verbose (like right now, rofl) and say off yourself my duder.
verbose big word me good writer
Right? Bam! (That’s an onomatopoeia btw, in case you were wondering what a sound word is called. You can tell that to your friends and their brain will be all ppppchow!) And I find using more words to overly state things shows how smart my characters are and by proxy how smart I am. I’m a pretty important guy according to my single mother, glad I’m not useless like our dads were, am I correct? Oh yeah I’m on fricking fire right now.
For me was when Chai is controlled by Kale and says that he's glad to be part of the company then Cinamon says that he'll never say that and then Kale tries to explain it.
Then Kale proceeds to prove he’s as big a moron as Chai and proceeds to literally lose a fight to 808.
Peppermint basically just scouts a less shitty brother for herself.
Betcha they’d share Korsica. She’s a people pleasure.
But that's the best part anon. Chai thinking of Peppermint as a sister while he pounds away at haggis pussy.
Kale did nothing wrong. He just grew bitter by being surrounded by corporate idiots.
One of the most endearing parts of the game is that the characters are at times are shitty anime/cartoon stereotypes and everyone around them have a totally sane response to such stupidity.
>the writing is bad cause I'm too autistic to get the jokes
Well, ok then
I like it but
>10/10
Lmao. The combat is broken with ally spam. There is no difference in combos. You could just end up spamming 2 combos with the same result. Game also has alot of unskipable dialogues and cutscenes which make the replayvalue alot worse.
It's a 7,5/10. I still had a good time with it.
you probably played with at least a decent sense of rhythm or the ally spam stuff wouldn’t have been working out for you as well. If you’re not hitting beats the game isn’t afraid to leave you thirsty for meter in order to spam those attacks.
Watch someone with NPC rhythm try. It’s fricking astounding how this game can really show you a surprising amount of people can’t hold a rhythm for more than short bursts.
it was fantastic but no advertising
That’s a good thing.
If only they gave us the goddamn fricking option to retry a fight without having to go back to the hideout and reload, I'd be playing the shit out of it.
I can't even complete the normal tower, do I have some chance in the new modes?
Yes I'm bad and I was always bad and this won't change.
Peppermint is a great girl.
Is it too weeby to play this with JP voices?
Korsica’s accent.
I played it with jp voices and the casting is overall great, you'll have a good time.
I would care, but the game still has Denuvo DRM.
When Denuvo DRM gets removed, I will double dip and buy this game for PC after I already played it on my Xbox.
Do I need a good peecee to run this game? My PeeCee is like a 2014-tier 'gamer' laptop. It can run DMC4 perfectly and most other ps3-xbo360 gen games well.
Considering it was not released on xbone then I'd say yea
I wanted to play this game, but the GamePass price increased so I'm not paying for it.
It is possible to pirate it for pc?
>dmc for "people" who are utter dogshit at dmc
DMC is easy as frick as well so I don't understand this statement
>doesnt understand dmc
of course
You're going to say it's about being stylish? It's about spamming the right combos and has never been more than that
Playing the game on human with easy automatic isn’t actually playing the game mr. journalist.
here we go again
guess all those "pro dmc" videos showing people spamming combos on dante must die are also playing on automatic
What same combos? Let me see you match them.
>playing it at the lowest common denominator is what these games truly about!
Not saying you can't play it like HiFi Rush but theres much more to DMC when it comes to combo potential.
You are the perfect drug
The perfect drug
The perfect drug
How get good at rhythm? Can clear fights fast, but my timing for hits is shit. Around 50-60% accuracy.
>game is combat arenas separated by platforming instead of combining the two
>combining rhythm and kuhrayzee doesn't work for me because it fricks with muscle memory
>extremely irritating MC
beat the diesel dyke boss and uninstalled, would play a rhythm game where you slowly torture the MC at a CIA blacksite and then release him onto the streets of NYC broken and suffering and watch him get kicked to death by a group of "youths" tho
I like Chai but I would also play that game
also why is every woman a dyke in this game
I think the bigger elephant in the room is why did the devs go out of their way to leave hints to imply Chai is ftm trans
expert bait, but he doesn't have top surgery scars and you're also just making shit up.
>Giant Ipod in chest
>No scars
Obviously the reason he went to the robotics center was to try and help with lingering dysphoria. The ipod likely regulates the testosterone better as well so he stays in gender euphoria now.
he was flat which is why he transitioned in the first place
>game is combat arenas separated by platforming instead of combining the two
There aren't any games that succeed at that though. The closest would be I guess Ninja Gaiden and Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.
lolwut? plenty of games combine environment traversal + combat just fine, though typically at the expense of simplifying combat
Any good porn of this twink yet? The fact that 99% of it is for the robo cat made me lose interest in this game.
you honestly want porn of a transman?
not that anon and I don't find chai that attractive, but yes, ftm/c**tboys are insanely hot
no they're not
because you have shit taste or aren't looking at the right ones
>legit 10/10 game
holy fricking delusion
Not even the best action game of the year.
An important thing is that both of them are vastly superior to shitspoken
Agreed.

My brother has been creaming over this game the last week and I'm so fricking jealous since I don't have a PS5. Really looks like a gud gaem and I'm excited for the PC release.

I LOVE Hi-Fi Rush and NONE of you will EVER change my mind, SEETHE and COPE that I am enjoying thihng you DONT like.
Good morning Sir! Did you do the needful?

The new gamemodes were fun and the secret area was full of soul. Can't wait to see what tango does next.
Secret area?
Give me a hint anon? I still haven't done all the Spectra doors. Is it after that?
You can access it after completing all the new arcade challenges.
Completing by just completing or S rank? and does that include EX mode for BPM tower? Damn these guys are adding more than I thought they did. Really hope they're gearing up for a story DLC.

I'm still getting kudos on my Korsica fic.
Korsica is wearing spats in one of her new costumes.
>DRM Denuvo
Because it was aggressively shilled when it came out and now you are surprised that there's no organic audience for the game? lol
chai is not lewd
Imagine lifting Chai up and carrying him while he's dressed exactly like that
He's mine so I will impregnate him once we are at home.
>underwear from a brand called hibiki
was chai a jap all this time and the pozzed devs were supporting amwf through him and korisca/peppermint?
hibiki is his favourite band or something I think
chai is a fan of progressive rock
The game was going to be called hibiki but they had to change it because licensing issues.
idk
bethesda published and costs as much as 6 indie games
Idk OP from the outside it looks like a legit 6/10 game
I unfortunately got filtered by it. The writing is simply really obnoxious
No one cares about your dead fotm goypass fodder
Wait, they made a game with a while male lead in current year?
Without seeing any video or gameplay and only seeing the images in this thread (haven't even read it), let me make some guesses:
> Lead character is clumsy and/or a moron (unless it's not that white dude)
> There's a main female heroine that is smarter and/or more clever than him (maybe that red hair girl, but I'm thinking it's the brown girl). And she has to be a Mary Sue which is awesome at anything she does
I'm somewhat impressed they didn't put in a completely black girl/guy that was the super genius 'scientist' or someshit, unless that's what they made that girl be.
>while
should be 'white'
almost right, except the heroine gets dabbed on by the stupid male lead multiple times and eventually warms up to him
It's all of that but the MC is the literal personification of the chad with 4 IQ meme. All the characters have their own dumb moments. There's a little bit of yuri fanservice on the brown girl being into the red head mommy. MC is shit on because he IS an idiot but also equally praised for getting the job done.
>There's a little bit of yuri fanservice
will never not tilt me, the game was almost perfect I had somehow deluded myself into thinking chai/mint was a thing, so the piece of shit ending credits shit had me in a sour mood for days
Chai deserves better
probably, I just liked their banter
>so the piece of shit ending credits shit had me in a sour mood for days
if it helps, those credits were outsourced and clearly not actually checked by the devs. Every single fricking character's heights are wrong in it.
nah dude it's almost certainly intentionally written by.the director/writer, they had those weird out of place voice lines in korsica's debut mission and stuff too
someone in previous stated that the devs talked about yuri and shipping stuff via twitter posts that are now deleted. I wish someone could recall what they said. Wayback machine doesn't help.
huh
>Lead character is clumsy and/or a moron (unless it's not that white dude)
He's both, but he hits that sweet spot of "dork who's still good at what he does.
> There's a main female heroine that is smarter and/or more clever than him (maybe that red hair girl, but I'm thinking it's the brown girl).
Close, but
>And she has to be a Mary Sue which is awesome at anything she does
Peppermint has a pretty good dynamic with him where while she gets frustrated with Chai's bullshit, she can't deny that what he's doing IS working better than what she does.
The red haired girl is far more competent unless you look at what her password was as chief of security but she's a lot nicer towards Chai since she's in her early 30s and is generally pretty grateful for all Chai does.
REEEE STOP SHILLING etc. etc.
It's a good update, wasn't expecting it but nice to have a reason to play again if only to get more outfits for Korsica
I refuse to play yurishit, sorry

samegay is reallly made about this game.
all of these lines are burned into my brain because you had to complete the game 500 times to finish the mural
Ngl, I lost all motivation to 100% this when I seen my first clear in hard mode didn't count towards the lower difficulties.
I didn't mind cause I loved the game enough to replay it a bunch
Unfortunately that's standard for these kind of games
It may be a 10/10 game, but it appeals to a minuscule part of the population because rhythm games are a minuscule niche.
Not subbing to goypass, raj

>INVADERS MUST DIE
Generic white cis male lead. Nobody cares
Read the thread, chud. Chai is trans.
>The era of profitable games is ending
Finally, the videogame market crash I've been waiting for more than a decade.
Read it and weep motherfrickers
Frick, I really want the Sketch outfit though
Hard felt pretty well balanced, I am not very good at rhythm games, however the final boss, eh, I died 88 times to him.
I HEAR THE SIRENS CALLING ME BABY
>start the game
>play the dlc modes
>can't even get to 20% of the way to complete the new modes
>remember I'm so bad in the game it made me so depressed I couldn't enjoy it
>close the game
Yes I'm whining here because I don't have friends
If you really want to get gud you have to practice. Clear what you can and just play daily. Instead of launching once, getting dunked on and leaving forever.
Thanks but I played the game a lot when it came out, I have no rhythm. I couldn't S rank a single battle after numerous playthroughs, my friend S ranked almost the entire the first chapter for his first try.
I struggled at first with an xbox controller, then I switched to KB/M controls and started tapping the mouse buttons to the beat.
Idk if it's the sound of the mouse clicking or it being easier to tap with pointer/middle finger, but it allowed me to move from mostly A/B to A/S.
Oh I'm not trying to be good, I just try to pass but it is too hard for me. I could only do the hard difficulty and the extra rooms by abusing the assists after days of trying. I could never beat the tower, not even floor 9. In fact the first time I played the game on easy I died several times on the first flying bot section from almost max life (where you can't progress until you can repeat the pattern). So not being able to even finish the arcade on easy is no surprise. I'm almost always D for rhythm, sometimes barely C.
I was never good in anything but not being able to do the fundamentals of the game at all depresses the hell out of me.
I'll care once Empress cracks it. I don't have a credit card to pay for Goypass.
Beat Rush is a blast and makes me wish the whole game was like that
the only thing stopping me from buying it is Denuvo
if they remove it I won't even try for a sale, I'll just buy it
>DENUVO
Not even once.
Now its not 10/10 but it was a solid release
I'm confused about something, the only human part Rochefort and Kale have is their heads? The rest is robotic? Like Robocop?
Correct. Roquefort is even more robotic than Kale though, even his "human" skull seems pretty decked out with machinery.
Solid 8.5/10. I just hope we get a sequel. Maybe experiment with different companies representing different genres of music or something.

game is fricking cringe and I don't know who the frick it was made for if not the reddit/tumblr crowd. I will not be playing your game.
Played through it twice, once normally and a second time on Rhythm Master for S ranks and the challenge doors. Loved the game, but I got all I wanted out of it.
game is fricking based and I know who the frick it was made for; the Ganker crowd. I will be playing your game.
