        Because unfortunately we reached a point where we need to point out when a videogame is just that - videogame. Hi-Fi Rush doesn't try to be a movie, doesn't try to tell some "deep" story, give some sort of message, pull any crazy twists or change your life - it's just a videogame. It doesn't take itself seriously at all and fun gameplay takes first place

    it's authentic, it's just coming from people who have been starved of half-decent games for a long time. It's been happening a lot this past year, for example when absolutely mediocre shit like Sonic Frontiers was getting high praise. The same thing happened in 2020 with animal crossing. When no other games are coming out, all the attention is drawn into whatever mediocre game got announced with hype recently.

    I own an Xbox and honestly regret it, I got it as a secondary console cause Game Pass sounded like a great deal, but this console has nothing but the same fricking games. At least with PS4 I would've had Bloodborne and SF 5 and... nothing else really. Meanwhile Nintendo was hyping up a children's movie, a worse version of Wii Sports and anime shit. It's been a dreadful year for gaming. Future looks bright though

      But that's not this game at all though. It's in fact very gameplay focused and with an elaborate scoring system.
      It gives you the tools to engage with the mechanics and the mechanics ties to the score.

      You might as well call the Megaman Zero games cinematic experiences with a focus on style over substance, and you'd be just as foolish for doing so.

        Assists, Scripted QTE attacks, invasive button prompts, that shit sucks and has no real gameplay or design value. It's good when it's optional like Neros buster and KH2 reaction commands (mostly). but not when it's artificially over emphasised and forced on players like it is in this game. they needed to scale it way the frick back so it's just subtle extra flavour instead of 'YOU NEED TO USE THIS AND PLAY THE GAME THIS WAY INSTEAD OF HAVING FUN WITH THE PARTS THAT ACTUALLY HAVE MECHANICAL DEPTH'

        Answer me this: why do cutscenes exist in a character action game? Why is the game so boring that you need the vidya equivalent of a carrot on a stick just to keep playing? And then people actually cite these cutscenes as if they were the highlight of the game. Yeesh.

        >What honestly is the difference that makes one good and one bad?
        They can both be bad, all while the distinction still matters. Just because there is a distinction, it doesn't mean one is good and one is bad. You can justifiably hate both, but they still aren't the same thing.

        Then yes, there is a distinction if we're arguing technicalities. Like I said before, it just doesn't matter enough if the result is the same: IE I sit in one place and have exposition thrown at me.

        Without any baggage, aka I have no idea what this game is or why anyone would/wouldn't be bothered by seeing threads about it, it's unbelievably naive to think that Ganker is irrelevant or that companies consider it irrelevant. Compared to the early 2010s Ganker is infinitely more important culturally, the entire internet has been homogenized so that if one thing happens here it echoes everywhere else.

        And that's ignoring the evidence, you can leaf through the archives and see identical threads - same OP, same image, even the same first 40 replies with identical images and everything. It's not human behavior. What do you think hiroshimoot meant by making the website advertiser friendly, when everyone browsing this shithole is using an adblocker? The threads ARE the advertisements. And even when they're made by people, people's stream of consciousness is being entirely decided by search algorithms designed to push things (products, narratives), so even when a person IS making the thread, it's still stemming from artificial buzz. There are more people connected to the internet today than ever before, millions more every day - every single social media site had to talk about squidgame for a full month? People are meat proxies for advertising algorithms, they shill without even realizing it. Call me a schizoposter if you want, this is the truth.

          You're confusing autists looking to piss you off with actual shills. We've got one specific poster who has been pissing and shitting his pants about Ace Combat since 7 released in February 2019. Like literally the archive has tracked posts from him since that release date all the way to now, every month, without fail. The same file names, same posting style.

          Ganker is rife with the mentally ill. It's far more likely that any "shill" is in fact a socially crippled autist doing the digital equivalent of chronically licking his hand.

          The literal only thing that matters to advertisers is if they make more money than they spent, do you seriously think advertisers will only pay for adverts on the biggest website at any given time and no others? Then consider how much of Ganker culture immediately bleeds into every other website, and how much cheaper it is to shill on a website where you don't have to make believable fake accounts with names and profile pics and etc etc. Dirt cheap advertising. Want to get to the front page of twitter? How much bribery does that take? Want to get to the front page of Ganker for a few hours? Make a thread and bump it a few times.

              Why do I have ads then when I turn off my adblocker? Oh right, because companies advertise on Ganker. A few posts are even cheaper than paying for consistent banner space. All you can do is brainlessly sputter "b-but twitter am bigger site so NO am adbertising!!!!N1111!" though so I'm going to stop replying now.

                Sorry, do you ever actually see a big, known company advertise on Ganker, or is it just some shitty company that advertises anime figurines?

                If companies wanted to shill on Ganker they'd just shove borderlands 3 into the bannerspace or something.

              oh christ it's you

              Watching a cutscene, during a part of the game that's touted as gameplay, is objectively bad. No, it doesn't matter if it's optional. IT doesn't matter if it's skippable. It doesn't even matter if you can avoid it. It should not exist.

              This is an objective criticism against scummy companies like snoy and microsoft who think games should be "artsy" pretentious visual novels, and I dare you to offer even one rebuttal to this, without sounding like you came from resetera. Flopspoken does this same thing where every animation is a cutscene and you just sit there and watch Shaniqua talk about fighting the patriarchy in a cinematic, with no input from the player. Why the hell would anyone want that in a game?

                That's correct. Here, let me try and meet you on common ground: isn't the reason most modern snoy games are bad, is due to them trying too hard to be cinematic? How many times have you seen Kratos or Nathan Drake walk down a hallway in a boring and stilted manner, just to spew exposition? How many times do we need to see osme generic anime waifu in Persona talk about her feelings in a 5 hour non-interactive cutscene? Why would anyone like this? Why would they want this? Why ruin the medium by removing the interaction?

                It's pretty short still. But unironically, it gives you a breather and time to reflect on your mistake, as you get time to let your failure sink in.
                And considering how close the game plays to the beat at all other times, such breathers can be appreciated. As much as a focus on gameplay is valued, a game that never let's the player let go of the face of the controller for but even a moment, has its own issues tied to all that.

                Because the fandom sees it as a reward, and devs consider it a reward. Otherwise they would've never included it in the game. It's just bloat ruining yet another game because hollywood directors want to desperately try their hands at making vidya.

                Yeah but only the cutscenes are cutscenes. And the pace of the regular dialogue scenes are controlled by the player. They aren't cutscenes.

                >And the pace of the regular dialogue scenes are controlled by the player.

                Anon, whether you call it a book game or a cutscene or a movie segment, it doesn't matter. You've compromised the entire point of the medium, for something you can get on youtube for free. If I can experience a large portion of yyour game without actually playing it, then you have indeed made a movie game. Don't mince words or argue semantics, a book game and a movie game are no different. You're still just sitting there while the game plays itself, and occasionally gives you a pity segment where you press a button to make something flashy happen. That's all it boils down to.

                If you stopped being such a moron over stuff like this, you'd actually see a significantly larger amount of people agree with you when you critique stuff.

If we're arguing semantics, yes there's technically a difference, but it's just like when someone compares a movie game, and a movie game in japan.

        I haven't actually gotten tired of dashing around, it's helpful for someone like me with no musical talent. But with how the game clearly puts you into combat mode when you hit enemies, I would appreciate a little more distinction between combat and non-combat aside from just the partners having different effects. Having an infinite dash outside of combat would be nice.

          I know what he means. It makes a lot of sense if you play it, because you can see grappling points pretty often, and they get highlighted for you, but the game wants you to stand in a specific spot to use them, even if you have a clear shot to the point.

    It had zero marketing, so yes the people talking about it came out of nowhere but its the opposite of inauthentic. The reason its gotten any 'forced' mention is in comparison to Forspoken, as a tool to mock it.

    If they couldnt afford marketing before the launch, they arent hiring shills now on Ganker specifically

    I can’t beat the tutorial. I’m stuck on the part where you have to continue the combo by picking up the beat after the break in the middle.

      Wait really? I thought it was weird that you couldn't install the game. Yeah I have this problem too, cloud gaming isn't friends with rhythm games they shouldn't have bothered to even release the game in any shape or form in this console.

        They should have released it for download. The Xbox one x is equally strong as the series s and I know this game isn’t pushing the limits of either console while looking like a modern Dreamcast game. They do this to frick with you and get you to buy a series s or series x.

      Gameplay wise I wouldn't put it over DMC5, however the presentation is great and while DMC5 had banger character tracks the level music wasn't anything amazing while this game has a great song for every level.

      Also small things like how the game alt-tabs very nicely and the options being very modular.

                It was always a punk haircut. If you're genuinely curious, it was unironically something of a "frick my shit up" kind of deal, and was never even intended to look that good.
                It was more of a "yeah I fricked my shit up, what are you going to do about it?" kind of deal.

                The only real problem is in the last decade when people started applying the haircut to a bunch of non-punk women. In reference to their rebellious attitudes, but without actually sharing their attitudes.
                And it was just slapped onto just about any lady intended to be strong, no matter how superficial. And then it just spiralled out of control from there.

                But there isn't really anything wrong with actual punks donning the haircut. You shouldn't really let morons and poser women steal it.

          At the very least, I think we can agree that this game did not go with the usual type of marketing campaign, advertising a game before its release. And I assume this kind of unique approach's success must be very alarming to people whose job it is to do typical marketing campaigns.

            It's not a new thing. Game companies have done this kind of shit before with games like Apex Legends. Also, looking at the character designs reminded me of Omega Strikers, which did a similar thing in that they entirely relied on ecelebs to promote the game.

              That's a good point, though it does bring us back to the point I assume we disagree on. Those games all still had very dedicated marketing campaigns (ecelebs ain't cheap), none of which seems evident in HFR. I personally am not convinced that there's a huge shill campaign, but then I'm biased because I played it and enjoyed it a lot. The most I've seen is their Twitter promoting the game. Still, I hope this helps usher in a new era of smaller marketing campaigns in general.

                They make a lot of money. Apex in particular has a large team of streamers and Vtubers who are all paid to play it, from what I recall. Also Google just now shows (less than I expected, actually): https://www.digitalmarketing.org/blog/how-much-does-influencer-marketing-cost
                I've got a friend who's obsessed with Vtubers, and from what I understand they've been having the streamers play the game almost constantly for months now. It might still be cheaper than normal marketing, but I'm sure it adds up.

Not a single one I will defend as perfect,. but I'm not gonna call someone a screeching troony just because they point out FPS issues in Armored Core, or weapon balance issues in TF2, or a lackluster endgame and progression in Minecraft.

                Because you can't even admit that it has a single flaw. You can't even entertain, for a fraction of a second, that watching a cutscene is not a good thing. It should not be treated as a reward. Having it be a punishment is already a bit shady, since it seems like a good idea to associate cutscenes with punishment, but then you try and make it epic and flashy like a marvel movie, which defeats the point. Then you go and make cutscenes to reward players for doing things, so you've shot your argument in the food.

                It's a sickness as old as time, going back as far as the playstation 1, maybe even the SNES and NES. Look at this, look how little interaction I have with this scene. Tell me how this is any different than a modern snoy walking sim.

                >w-well you can skip it
                So if you could skip the walking segments in GOW, it magically becomes a 10/10 GOTY masterpiece? Interesting, I'm not sure how that would fix the abhorrent gameplay or the stinker of a plot. Please, explain.

                That's what movie-lovers try to argue, that the ONLY issue with God of War is that you can't skip the walk-and-talk segments. I'm saying it doesn't matter. The game is worse off objectively, whether you can skip them or not. The game should never dedicate even a single resource to this blatant padding.

                gow would be improved by having skippable cutscenes, objectively , improvement isn't absolute though is it, it isn't a binary, it would still be shit but slightly better for having skippable cutscenes because aside from those it's just not a very good video game

                >aren't movie lovers supposed to defend the non skippable cutscene shit?
                Yes, they are hypocrites. That's what is frustrating about them. I've long since given up trying to understand how they function. If one was to wager a guess, they probably can't defend their POS anymore, so they try and argue "w-well if the cutscenes were skippable, it would be much better". I'm simply here to debunk that notion, that a bad segment magically becomes good if you can skip it.

                >gow would be improved by having skippable cutscenes, objectively
                Not really. That's fallacious thinking. Time and money are still spent on those cutscenes, and you as a customer have to still pay for those cutscenes to be made. All you're doing is flushing your money down the toilet when you skip a cutscene. That's why I don't take "you can skip it" seriously as an argument. I can opt to not buy crap in Genshin Impact, but that doesn't make the game better. If anything it highlights how they wanted the game to be as expensive as possible, and it gets grindy beyond belief if you pinch your pennies.

                look i just don't agree, cutscenes add to an experience so long as they're just there to prop up the gameplay, they should never be more than 10% of playtime but games with at least some good cutscenes tend to be more enjoyable than those without and that doesn't make me a moviegay because there's a ludicrous difference to what cutgscenes were like on the PS2 and the games that exist now where more than half the game it a cutscene because people unironically hate videogames

                I don't consider it propping up the gameplay when it sits me down and demands me to listen to exposition and story, or it makes me watch as the players contorl themselves. Like mentioned in previous threads, it doesn't help that the characters have the audacity to talk and have emotions and feelings, like a visual novel. They exist as playthings for me and nothing more. If they are not selling me stuff, they are a goomba to be stomped on. Any game that doesn't understand this concept needs to go back to the drawing board.

    Can anyone explain this schizo logic to me? How can someone think a 98% overwhelmingly positive steam score can possibly be manufactured and the result of a shill campaign? I mean, if that actually was possible, why wouldn't literally every gaming publisher and studio use that same tactic themselves to get similar scores? Especially Microsoft of all companies, whose game releases are usually marred by mediocre reviews and audience reception. Do schizos believe that Microsoft finally after all these years cracked the marketing code and the game they decided to use this outrageously effective shill tactic on is some obscure rhythm game?

    You'd know if it's authentic or not if you played the game. It's a surprisingly competent and soulful character action game with a unique gimmick that sets it apart from mainstays like Bayo or DMC. Well, to be honest mixing rhythm mechanics with action isn't a new concept, but so far no game managed to nail the blending of those to things as well as HFR. I can honestly see this game kicking off a franchise

    then they started dunking on playstation because of forspoken??? which is unrelated to hi-fi rush in the first place and both games are on PC anyway.

            The only reason Barry compared the two is because the "dialogue is the same so why do you hate one but not the other"
            There's no rivalry or comparison point between pizza tower and hi fi since they're just both fun games for different genres. Also one is indie, one is AA. No point comparing the two in a negative way since they're both good games.

      Even as early as when the game only had two threads, right after reveal. People were already yelling about and crying over supposed shills and shilling.
      Didn't even have time to let the threads from the initial reveal die before instantly dismissing it as shilling. By their standard I swear it was absolutely impossible to discuss this game under any light or circumstance without it being deemed shilling by these people. They turned on the game instantly.

Essentially they're just women. I blame the failures of ToR and more recently Cyberpunk. Also console warring but everybody ought to have a working PC at this point.

    Consider how many threads compared this game with Forspoken, a game that represents everything shitty about the industry right now. It basically became a Ganker's equivalent of David and Goliath overnight.

                I thought you said before that FFXV was "made from scratch under 3 years" before and that it borrowed NOTHING from versus XIII.
                I guess that proves it really was a 10 year dev cycle then...

                That's fair, different strokes.
                I remember being quite impressed at how many attack animations Noct had with all his weapons, especially factoring in directional inputs. It's just a shame the actual combat itself doesn't live up to it. The animation team went ham only for their efforts to be wasted since many people would just take the path of least resistance and stick to the ol' hold lock on and circle for every fight and heal when needed.

                Noctis unironically had too much animation that it made him feel sluggish, if you switched to any of the other party members they all felt way more snappier to control in combat all the while when you switched back to Noctis at the end of battle you're immediately hit with his awful movement.

                Takatsugu Nakazawa who was a combat planner on FF7, FF8, FF10 and Combat Director on 10-2 is Gameplay system lead on Forspoken, he made the Dress Sphere system and programmed the Materia system too

                I guess you can't read because Combat animator works with combat planners, you think the animator isnt going to pick up on how to plan things since their job is to make animation based on what is planned? If anything it gives the animator turned combat director even more prestige

                Also considering the fact Kanbayashi has a gap in his resume between 2008 and before XV and he was then on XV alongside the KH2 combat director who was on versus then XV, it stands to reason that Kanbayashi was also on versus xiii too, do you have any proof to dispute this assertion that isnt "but it wasn't stated"?

                No I said KH2 devs are, combat animators are combat devs because they're literally making the action motions and working alongside planners can therefore give knowhow on future projects where they can do combat planning based on their experience on previous games, such is the case with forspoken the combat director coming from kh2 battle team

    Anybody else find what appears to be an American Psycho reference? Of all things it's about a hoodie but it's described as "white nimbus" in color and the font used is "Tangolian Rail". I wouldn't have caught it if I didn't remember the business card scene's lines very clearly.

    Between the 24th and 31st, Hi-Fi Rush was the 9th best selling game by revenue.

        Nice cope. Dead Space and Forspoken were neck and neck last week (around 30th place)
        So why Is Dead Space 2nd place now, and Forspoken can't break top 20?

          Deadspace already has pc audience

          Forspoken had practically no pc advertising

          Also look at actual sales charts on Steamspy, Forspoken outsold HFR by like 2x

      There's some cringe-worthy dialogue but it's all genuine instead of ironic so it's mainly just good fun instead of anything mean-spirited. Quite a few moments made me laugh out loud. Chai is a fricking goofball chad, doesn't give a frick about anything besides wanting to rock out. Has the perfect mix of comedy slapstick humor from something like Ed Edd & Eddy while not being a total pushover.
