      @@regalroyn1011 it's easier to do so. Video game storylines are far more profound than modern cinema, with objectively less stereotypes and clichés(no Mexican filter, for example). People want to watch films but they suck so much people prefer video games.
      Unfortunately that's what AAA execs expect, so they put all their focus on branding "lore" rather than a fulfilling gaming experience. No wonder I still stick to playing Mirror's Edge.

But this is such a great execution, and I would not have expected it to come from the crew who made Ghostwire Tokyo and The Evil Within.

    I've never seen Shen play a Devil May Cry game, but given their penchant for parrying, I bet they'd be a Royal Guard savant

    Funny coincidence with Rekka's name. Officially its based on spicy Rekka noodles (food naming :D), it's also a finnish word for a truck. And she certainly hits like one, if even harder.

    The fact this was shadow-dropped, too!?
    Some game devs and companies need to take notes cause to think developers who made horror games would make something so beautiful and creative that they are beyond amazing.

    After watching Max playing it I immediatly got it, thanks to game pass. Its a straight 10/10 off the bat and defiantly the best game of the year so far; Not counting the RE4MAKE or Dead Space Remake as their just old games with fresh coats of paint. Its got everything I love; Rock/Metal, great characters, funny jokes, amazing style and presentation, and fluid gameplay. The best XBox "Exclusive" since Sunset Overdrive (which this game actually surpassed.) I also totally ship Chai and Peppermint, cause i think they go great together and vibe more as the story goes on.

    Anyone else think with that signature double fist clash of Rekka's they were angling to get Thuder Struck as her fight theme? The timing of the hits works really well with that early crowd call of "Thun-der!". I could have sworn it was kicking in as she took the gloves off, and I already played that fight. Edit: Oh, also the entire electricity element of her fight, thanks brain.

    You're having an incredible amount of fun with this game, and communicating that fun to us with humor and a big, exuberant personality. I am a middle aged man in rough personal and financial shape. If I had a device that could play this, if I had the energy, and the focus, and more disposable income for other hobbies, I would want to try this game. This video is a huge part of that, watching and listening to you play this was a Blast!
