    Hi-Fi Rush is a shitpost game. As, a game everyone uses to attack something, from other games to companies to awards, but no one has actually played it, let alone enjoyed it as a game.

      absolutely fricking untrue. There was a complete drought in games released around that time, and a shadowdropped game with no expectations, and the lowest pricetag being $1 dollar for a gamepass subscription, millions played the game.

          This is as much as HFR thread as everything else, you brought up the discussion of people using it to attack something. I was just mentioning how it won the most acclaimed gaming critic in Ganker history's GoTY.

          Everbody talked about it, and praised how amazing it was to get a game of it's caliber, stealthily shadow dropped in MONTH ONE, of 2023. We talked about it for fricking months afterwards, and shit was just that. A GREAT game.

          People compare it to the rest of the gaming industry because we want more games like it. Just fun, not monetized experiences. Nobody sold us on HFR, but everybody who played it loved it.

            No you didn't; the only regular threads it got were when it released were just using Hi-Fi Rush to shit on Forspoken, the most notorious flop of 2022 and that year version of Starfield. After the first month passed Hi-Fi Rush was mentioned again months later... to shit on the Xbox awards. The only threads it got between both events were porn imagedumps of the robot cat.

      >Also someone posted a .webm of one boss battle being a long QTE sequence.
      It isnt a QTE sequeunce, it has it up there for people who are moronic, the button order but the reality is you have to have rhythm with the sound to do them. It isn't "Do this one after another" it's "wait for specific sound beat to match rhythm with specific button" something a tonedeaf person will struggle with. Actual QTEs they wont.

      Objectivity has to play key though, and if you for whatever reason dislike all rhythm games as a genre, you can't really objectively rate them. Mind you, this is the only rhythm game I played in like 10 years and I enjoyed it.

It's so weird, especially the look compared to ANY other game in Nexon's history. It's like they captured the perfect western pixel artist to make safe-looking character designs to appeal to dorks.

        Normally I'd agree with you but the game is already easy enough. If you didn't have to manage your assists and go for parry follow-ups to delete shields/armor fast there would be no variety in the combat, no reason to alter your strategy.

    It was pretty great, easily one of the most fun and polished action games ever made.

    I love DMC and I love rhythm games so it was a perfect combination for me. My only real complaint is that if you have good rhythm and understand the game it gets very very easy. The BPM tower is a fun challenge but I would love a turbo mode for the main game.

    I'd also love if there were other weapons with different rhythms/polyrhythms but that's probably too hard for non-musicians to manage while also trying to fight.

      Doesn't the game also slow down your attacks if you mistime them to make sure they hit on-beat?

      • 5 months ago
        Anonymous

        All attacks hit on beat, that means your attacks and enemy attacks. That's kind of the point of the game. If you have no rhythm you can just mash and the game will still work, you'll just get shit scores and the game will rightly laugh at you.

        You also have to dodge on-beat if you want to chain 3 dodges (there's some neat tech where proper timing lets you cancel the end of the last dash into an attack and then back into dash 1)

        • 5 months ago
          Anonymous

          I understand that the game wants you to attack on-beat but altering your attack speed on a whim seems like a terrible thing for an action game. Imagine playing Dark Souls and a swing of your sword could take anywhere between 15 and 60 frames at nigh-random. It's overly forceful in trying to get you to play the way it wants. Lowering your damage or just giving the lower scores would incentivize the player to time their attacks properly without fricking with the game feel.

            that's...that's not how beats work. Rhythms are by definition regular.
            I understand that you haven't played the game but the whole fricking point is that everything happens in time with the music.

              Yeah I know all that, i've seen the game. I'm saying it doesn't work.
              Let me put it this way. If you miss a beat in a rhythm game, it doesn't "hold" your input until the beat occurs. You just miss the input and are graded according to how close you were to the beat. But HFR doesn't want you to "feel bad" for missing an input, so it drags out your attacks, creating variable attack timings, which is an action game cardinal sin.

              the actual idiom is "buttholes" instead of "morons" but it's an extremely old American idiom. This site is for 18+ Americans only. Leave.

          Maybe you should learn to write. Please go back to school and learn what a paragraph represents.

            I haven't written anything that would necessarily constitute a full paragraph. Maybe you should figure out how to read first before coming after people for shit you don't understand you chapped ass mud Black person.

              Oh no no no. It's time to go back to school.

              Go ahead and tell us how your "monopoly" comment applies to this thread at all? It makes no sense in any context. You're embarrassingly transparent.

                If you go into a Microsoft shill thread and call Microsoft's business policies monopolistic you will get drowned out by morons, like you, trying to shift the topic into pedantic hair splitting about the exact definition of things.

                As you can see, because I made one comment and now have at least two morons going off about pedantic nonsense that is in no way related to the game I was right.

                So I was right, you did show your ass with your comment, and you are transparently seething about Microsoft having a good game to the point where you are crying about MUH MONOPOLY despite it having zero relevance to good or bad the game is.

                You homosexuals are so fricking boring and predictable. Please stop the seethe and buy some hardware that isn't a Playstation.

            I literally made one remark in the whole thread about how this thread doesn't even seem to necessarily care about the game it just seems like a place people go when they want to shill Game Pass and yell Snoy. And I have not gotten anything resembling a good faith take out of it.

            hahaha holy shit

            Ok. So why should I care if you changed the words of an idiom and poorly conveyed it, by using it wrong. I didn't say I'm running into morons all day. I'm just saying there's a lot of morons in this thread. Namely you.

      How does that apply to the game at all. I think you're exposing your ass with this comment.

      >russian girl
      homie what
      no one in the game is even remotely russian
      Do you mean Korsica? She's fricking Scottish.
      >she's a dyke!
      No one's sexuality is ever mentioned in any capacity, the closest anyone comes to being gay is Peppermint blushing for a few frames in the ending AMV by a separate studio.
      Honestly every new post proves

      This game is the ultimate pseud test.
      It's a fantastic action game with a great gimmick, great soundtrack, amazing animation, and immaculate polish made by Shinji Mikami's protege.
      Anyone that doesn't like it because the main girl has a sidecut or because "it's cartoon-y" is a poser or a twat and anyone that says the gameplay isn't great is a shitter or a rhythmlet.

      Can you post the scene where it's revealed the "russian girl" is actually homosexual?

    definitely more fun and enjoyable than cutscene simulators as the entire game is based around gameplay and not watching d tier actors overact

    It was goty for me too
    Good gameplay, good characters, good visuals, good soundtrack
    It was polished well with no bugs. It didn’t last too long. The pacing was perfect, the last 2 missions and bosses were the best and the story came to a great climax.
    30 bucks, 15 hours, will live in my head longer than any other game in the last decade
    Honestly I think it set the bar too high for my expectations of new games. Hopefully it gets a good sequel.

    As a huge Space Channel 5 fan, Korsica's fight made me really nostalgic and happy but also really mad at Sega for continuing to sit on the IP

      Screw Korsica, Mimosa's fight is where it's really at.

    meh
    i was done with these dull character action games during the 360 days
    anarchy reigns, lollipop chainsaw, afro samurai, dime a dozen back in the day and hi fi rush was nothing special, outside the annoying qtes
    desu, the qtes reminded me of how annoying ninja blade was with its qtes
