It's so fucking funny to me that the bad guy's mind control plan came about all because he hates advertising, in a game that got absolutely no advertisement other than "yo here's this game peace". 😂😂😂😂😂
I don't think advertising was Kale's problem, but rather his inability to accept differences in opinion. Or rather, people having opinions in the first place.
The entire game is one big videogame industry parody. Rekka: Mistreating employees, harsh working environment and copyright strikes Zanzo: Creative leads with childlike vision and no ground of realistic goals or budget management that overwork their employees while most of the ideas are never finished. Korsica: employees and leads that came to the company that take pride in their work and want to produce a great result, inspired by masterpieces games only to be met with the reality of the crappy videogame industry that all the other bosses represent. Some of them resort to leaving big companies and collaborating on indie titles against big companies. Mimosa: Over glamorous advertising with no substance, just like triple A companies make false promises and always end up under delivering to the consumers. Roquefort: Stingy game companies that underpay their employees or don't give enough budget for features like proper servers making their online games borderline unplayable. Thinking only how to bring the most profit on the table no matter the cost like aggressive monetizations. Kale: Companies that find every aspect of the game too much work and would rather get free money for barely doing anything, releasing half finished videogames for quick profit.
I think what people forget to mention, is that this also prevents the game from needing to be unlisted later down the line. Licenses expired? Just change these to be the regular songs now, no more licensed ones, no more work needed later down the line, game still can be sold normally. It's really just the best of both worlds.
@@mateusineo8755 I'll be honest, while I prefer whirring to surfacing, I really wouldn't care much if they ended up replacing the songs over time with the streamer mode tracks.
The way they manage to make all of these songs original while giving them the exact same vibe and structure as the licensed versions really is impressive. Overall I think I still prefer all of the licensed tracks, but it's crazy how similar they sound while still being distinct.
for once, the final boss gain the place of the favourite boss. it had all a final boss needs. a bastard you want to punch, a game mechanic that asks you to call every one's help, a badass music and an amazing stage, an epic final and the greatest ending with the best last word. Watching this fight, you cannot tell this isn't a final boss.
@@optimaltt6070 There should have been an achievement for Finishing him off with the "808 Gigawatt Cat Attack!" 808 starts the fight and she finishes it.
Perfect Drug is great but a song that outright goes with the characters will always be best; not 100% on the nose like MGR boss music but you clearly see the parallels in the lyrics and between our highly talented slacker bois and really the moral of the story.
@@Colecionador7162 bruh QA-1MIL rekka mimosa and kale all exploded zanzo got a severe concussion and some broken bones And roquefort got crushed And korsica almost died before they gave her robot implants THE ONLY THING LEFT OF REKKA IS HER BELT
interesting decision for them to make the final boss OST so horny, but the sex QTE definitely caught me off guard when Chai and Kale started making out halfway through the fight
So funny thing kale was the boss the probably killed me the most on my first playthrough so by the time I finally beat him I had a D rank which I wasn't so proud of, so I decided to fight Mimosa, rougefort and of course kale with my knowledge of what to do and what to avoid and man I FELT LIKE A GOD PARRYING EVERYTHING HE THREW AT ME and I ended up getting an S rank on all of them. So long story short never limit yourself and remember you can always be better
Exactly, when I did the challenge for the wall to do No DMG on Kale it took probably a few hours taking breaks each day but I did it eventually and accidentally got a 2-for-1 cause there’s also doing ANY stage with no damage
I hope on a future update they add a new difficulty where it adds more and longer combo strings that bosses can do. I adored perfect parrying his verse 1, 6 hit combo
My favorite part was how he took off his jacket for another jacket... Thrice, though cant say i totally liked this boss it got real annoying sitting there for a minute not being able to do anything against the z-shields until he attacked and i got to use macaron once before repeating the cycle, and sometimes he didn't even go for the arms
some of your special attacks can break through it actually, high pitch punch iirc was the one I used that will open him up in that phase and he often tried to counter attack me after using it which let me double punish with the Macron call in
Yeah I think the middle section of the fight where you have to target all his gear with the appropriate allies is REALLY annoying, and not because of the concept. It's just in execution he sometimes spams all his other attacks for minutes on end and, if you're unlucky, it can take FOREVER for him to finally use the attacks you need to counter in order to beat that stage. There's just no way to progress other than waiting for him to use specific attacks that let you hit him back, which is REALLY frustrating sometimes when you're playing on rhythm master and watching your fucking rhythm bar tick down while rng decides Kale is not going to use his key attacks for over a minute straight. You have to perfectly parry everything and smack him constantly just to keep yourself from dying due to rhythm drop until you get an attack you're allowed to interact with, it's a really stressful stall-fest. Feels like he should be programmed to use those attacks on a set timer to ensure that can't happen. But overall I'd call it a minor flaw in a very fun fight. Great character to hate, pretty exciting fight outside of that middle part, and a genuinely fun challenge on high difficulties.
I like how both this and The Perfect Drug can kind of work as theme songs for SPECTRA; "I'll give you what you want", Kale is going to brainwash all the Armstrong subjects into buying Vandelay constantly.

"Nodded once and that was all it took" referring to Chai consenting without really reading the consent form for the surgery. Perhaps "spellbound and mesmerized" refers to Chai being mind controlled by Kale. "I'll give you what you want" likely referring to Chai proving his Vandely robot arm kicks ass (Kale should be proud his product is this successful), or that Kale wants a fight and Chai is willing to oblige. "What I need is not what I want" is likely Chai needing his arm fixed, but he doesn't want the baggage of being a Vandelay lackey or experiment. "Give it to me and i'll give it to you" could mean Chai getting revenge against Vandelay (Kale) for giving him something he did not want in the form of Spectra mind control and being hunted down as a defect. Give me suffering and I give you suffering. These are just what I think the lyrics are, and what they might mean. I stand by my statement that the song is about vampirism. It is too obvious. I posted this same comment on the other lyrics comment as well. Hope it helps you out too.
@@Tetragramix Oh duh, that IS the word Spellbound XD Absolutely vampiric, though I was thinking more on a general scale, where capitalism drains enough of its host (the people) to maintain itself as it is. Kale is looking to upset the whole individual consumerism thing in favor of absolute control, from what I understand of his plot. Under that, "What I need is now what I want" could refer to agreement of what someone else believes is what they need, like saying 'you need a band-aid' to someone with hiccups and them agreeing. Regardless of any message, I've had the song stuck in my head for too long, it just goes so hard. xd
@@albhis I'm pretty sure this song is about Kale, like the other boss's songs fit them, but I tried to interpret it for Chai. In the case of "Capitalism", I think it makes more sense that it would mean technological society as a whole, not Capitalism specifically.
I really like how Kale is revealed to not simply be a generic villainous businessman, with his dialogue and motivation painting him as a corrupted mirror to Chai: an immature slacker at heart who tries very hard to look cool and slick, but almost always fails in some way.
This slaps so hard *Like 808* The fact this man got boxed by a cat and LOST makes me giggle when I think about. And the fact every comment I see about it is some variation of "808 gave him the four piece no biscuit" makes it so much better

Now I get the jokes on tumblr that Kale is a homosexual homophobe, holy shit (still, I really like how either version's lyrics fit the theme of SPECTRA but each with their own take)
All the Streamer Mode songs that replaced the regular, licensed songs are meant to capture the feel of the songs they replace. Too Big To Fail captures the instrumental feel of 1,000,000, also made by NIN, for example.
Yeah, this song just works waaaay better then Perfect Drug for the fight. Like, I think the entire streamer mode soundtrack is better than the licensed music, but this song is just so much better than it’s licensed counterpart that it’s kinda hard to believe.
It's not actually in the game itself, and it's a reference to how the base song, "The Perfect Drug," Also ends. Personally, I think the licensed song did the ending better, but this is still great.
Not gonna lie, not since Handsome Jack have i seen quite an interesting and funny Villain that i both loved seeing and wanted to punch in the face so hard. Well done to the devs and writers.
Damn, im new in the game and i just finished the game with almost every level an S rank on hard difficulty. And i never knew this version existed. Now im going to pass the whole game again😅
Personally I like listening to the unlicensed versions of the songs. They fit with the bosses and villains better or fit better with Chai's experience and his adventure. The copyrighted licensed song, Perfect Drug doesn't feel as good in the game's story. This song is much better at expressing Kale's personality and his evil plan. The lyrics tell much more about the fight and the song as a whole also feels more intense for a final boss battle. (Edit rearrange of sentences and more elaboration on how I feel about the song. The comment itself remains pretty much the same)
Wellp. I was absolutely psyched to hear Perfect Drug during Kale boss battle (one of my favourite NIN Songs. And it fit so well!). But Streamer version is indeed cool! It doesn't mimic PD, but simply reminds of it, yet it is quite different. Guess I have to replay the whole Masterpiece of a Game for the altered experience.
This is the one boss theme I think is better than its licensed counterpart by a large margin for the fight. All the others I edge towards the licensed theme but this one fits way too well.
I don't know why, but the official lyrics, "Surely you would've known what's at stake." sounds too much like "Surely no bullet, no wood stake." and to be honest I feel like it fits the overall vampire theme of the song more than what the original lyrics say. Plus, it sounds more cohesive with the following lyrics "Could ever end this spark that refuses to break." But that's just me.
It was made specifically so that content creators wouldn't get DMCA accusations, so if you exclude the licensed music, and put credits on the screen or in the description, you probably should be good
It's so fucking funny to me that the bad guy's mind control plan came about all because he hates advertising, in a game that got absolutely no advertisement other than "yo here's this game peace".

Steep pitched roof on a cold gray night,
A shadow 'cross the moon under my flight
Somehow I felt the pain of your hunger
My will to resist was pulled out from under
It stood tall and I began to shake
my blood coursed strong as you readied your take
I nodded once and that was all it took
in a blink you were over me and my world shook
And when I said it was understood
You had control once you lowered your hood
My pulse quickened to impossible speed
Your fangs sunk deep and you began to feed
And now I just can't hide
Spellbound and mesmerized
You got me hypnotized
Spellbound and mesmerized
So I'll give you what you want
(What I need is now what I want)
In a blink I am yours
(Give it to me and I'll give it to you)
With a flash and a squeeze it's my turn to feed
Unspoken promises with mutual need
She whispered to me as our blood mixed:
"You're the seventh son of the seventh son, your fate is fixed"
Now I'm a phantom; a ghost unabsolved
I'm bound to move shadows when the day dissolves
Surely no bullet; no wooden stake
could never end this fog that refuses to break
And now I just can't hide
still bound and mesmerized
you got me hypnotized
still bound and mesmerized
I'll give you what you want
(what I need is now what I want)
In a blink I am yours
(give it to me and I'll give it to you)

@@dedosdeceniza That makes tons more sense than a whole bunch of stars orbiting eachother
@@Tetragramix Oh duh, that IS the word Spellbound XD
Absolutely vampiric, though I was thinking more on a general scale, where capitalism drains enough of its host (the people) to maintain itself as it is. Kale is looking to upset the whole individual consumerism thing in favor of absolute control, from what I understand of his plot. Under that, "What I need is now what I want" could refer to agreement of what someone else believes is what they need, like saying 'you need a band-aid' to someone with hiccups and them agreeing.
Regardless of any message, I've had the song stuck in my head for too long, it just goes so hard. xd
@@albhis I'm pretty sure this song is about Kale, like the other boss's songs fit them, but I tried to interpret it for Chai. In the case of "Capitalism", I think it makes more sense that it would mean technological society as a whole, not Capitalism specifically.
That hypnotise bit makes me feel emotional and nostalgic... And I've never heard anything like it
I really like how Kale is revealed to not simply be a generic villainous businessman, with his dialogue and motivation painting him as a corrupted mirror to Chai: an immature slacker at heart who tries very hard to look cool and slick, but almost always fails in some way.
This slaps so hard
*Like 808*
The fact this man got boxed by a cat and LOST makes me giggle when I think about.
And the fact every comment I see about it is some variation of "808 gave him the four piece no biscuit" makes it so much better
OFFICIAL LYRICS
There's truth on a concrete night
I shot across the moonlight under my flight
Somehow, I felt the pain of your hunger
My will to resist was pulled out from under
Hair stood tall and I began to shake
My blood coarse strong as you readied your take
I nodded once, and that was all it took
In a blink, you were over me, and my world shook
And when I said it was understood
You had control once you know what you heard
My pulse quickened to impossible speeds
Your fangs sunk deep and you began to feed
And now I just can't hide
Spellbound and mesmerized
You got me hypnotized
Spellbound and mesmerized!
I'LL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT
(WHAT I NEED IS NOT WHAT I WANT)
IN A BLINK I AM YOURS
(GIVE IT TO ME AND I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU)
With a flash and a scream, it's my turn to flee.
Unspoken promises the future will lead.
She whispered to me "if our blood mixed, you're the seventh son of the seventh son
Your fate is Fixed"
Now I'm a phantom but coast on the song
I'm bout to move shadows when the day desolves
Surely you would've known whats at stake
Could never end this spark that refuses to break
And now I just can't hide
Spellbound and mesmerized
You got me hypnotized
Spellbound and mesmerized
I'LL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT
(WHAT I NEED IS NOT WHAT I WANT)
IN A BLINK I AM YOURS
(GIVE IT TO ME AND I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU)
So I'll give you what you want
And what I need is not what I want
In a blink I am yours
Give it to me and I'll give it to you
So I'll give you what you want
And what I need is not what I want
So I'll give you what you want
And what I need is not what I want
In a blink I am yours
Give it to me and I'll give it to you
So I'll give you what you want
And what I need is not what I want
In a blink I am yours
Give it to me and I'll give it to you
SO I'LL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT
(GIVE IT TO ME AND I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU)
IN A BLINK I AM YOURS
(GIVE IT TO ME AND I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU)

Now I get the jokes on tumblr that Kale is a homosexual homophobe, holy shit
(still, I really like how either version's lyrics fit the theme of SPECTRA but each with their own take)
I thank you. So much.
@@thehatmaster1390 ofc ofc
Pretty close. Definitely not 100%, but close enough.
@@FaelumbreProject Says a lot more about where the mind of the average tumblr user is than it does about Kale, honestly.
You know the ironic thing is Kale is the one who made Chai defective in the first place.
Waiting for the lyrics of this banger to drop out out of nowhere
I instantly knew this was NIN inspired.
All the Streamer Mode songs that replaced the regular, licensed songs are meant to capture the feel of the songs they replace. Too Big To Fail captures the instrumental feel of 1,000,000, also made by NIN, for example.
@@xenodweeb6425 and Surfacing feels 1:1 with Whirring
Ah yes
Ten Inch Talons
I’ll always remember the lesson this game taught, blatant murder is okay as long as it’s to a sick jammy beat/song
Tfw the unlicensed music doesn't disappoint
The clanging metal pipe boss theme
just beat the game yesterday and wow this game is so amazing you xbox players were so lucky to experience this first 😅
Yeah, look how Xbox is just happy to show their gratitude :(
Am I the only one who thinks this is a better theme than the liscenced version?
*I WILL die on this hill*
Every other song id say yes, perfect drug > in a blink tho for me
This is probably the best track in the entire game, including licensed songs.
That and too big to fail
Yeah, this song just works waaaay better then Perfect Drug for the fight. Like, I think the entire streamer mode soundtrack is better than the licensed music, but this song is just so much better than it’s licensed counterpart that it’s kinda hard to believe.
There’s no way anyone with this take has ever listened to music before
Everything past 4:20 is a different vibe my god. Just need a second song of just that ending segment.
It's not actually in the game itself, and it's a reference to how the base song, "The Perfect Drug," Also ends. Personally, I think the licensed song did the ending better, but this is still great.
@@bracken8782 honestly it should be at the start of the fight, I love that part.
Kale: You're just a bunch of losers.
Chai: Maybe so, but together, we're unstoppable.
*YES* YES *YES* YES *YES* YES, *808!*
I honestly prefer this one over the copyrighted one
I like the licensed version but this… It just sounds better I think.
1:11 *Assembles guitar* Don’t call it a comeback
What a pain in the ass. *Quickly clears throat.* You know what? Let's take this outside. *Snaps fingers*
"this just way to much work"
I find this song funny yet awesome considering how much it mirrors The Perfect Drug.
It's like The Perfect Drug but in a parallel universe lol.
So true
Vampires.
The lyrics are literally describing a vampire making a human its thrall
ok but the vocalists voice is so hot
RIGHT!?!??
Wait no you’re right
Not gonna lie, not since Handsome Jack have i seen quite an interesting and funny Villain that i both loved seeing and wanted to punch in the face so hard. Well done to the devs and writers.
I hope this game wins best soundtrack
808 THE MVP
i kinda prefer this over the licenced song
My favourite thing bout kale is that he does not really get angry more just annoyed
They did an amazing job with the alternative soundtrack. :D
Nine Inch Nails Royalty Free edition
This whole fight screamed DMC3 Vergil
the ultimate successor to sunset overdrive. time to get fucking overcharged!
I MUST know the lyrics to this masterpiece.
Chai chai chai chai chai chai
Damn, im new in the game and i just finished the game with almost every level an S rank on hard difficulty. And i never knew this version existed. Now im going to pass the whole game again😅
0:58 Here we go!
Personally I like listening to the unlicensed versions of the songs. They fit with the bosses and villains better or fit better with Chai's experience and his adventure.
The copyrighted licensed song, Perfect Drug doesn't feel as good in the game's story.
This song is much better at expressing Kale's personality and his evil plan. The lyrics tell much more about the fight and the song as a whole also feels more intense for a final boss battle.
(Edit rearrange of sentences and more elaboration on how I feel about the song. The comment itself remains pretty much the same)
Wellp. I was absolutely psyched to hear Perfect Drug during Kale boss battle (one of my favourite NIN Songs. And it fit so well!). But Streamer version is indeed cool! It doesn't mimic PD, but simply reminds of it, yet it is quite different. Guess I have to replay the whole Masterpiece of a Game for the altered experience.
I like this more than perfect drug
This goes hard
It’s a little sad that using streamer mode gets rid of the cool detail of starting with Nine Inch Nails and ending with Nine Inch Nails
This is such an awesome song. My only complaint is that I wish the choruses were longer.
Look up the extended mix
th-cam.com/video/pa5YJRcfCfM/w-d-xo.html
The licensed version on the playlist is no longer working, so here's a link to another version of that song.
🐈⬛: Team, was i a good cat.
This may JUST be me but.. At 1:40 I swear I hear '' Your feet is.. thick. ''
Augh, now I hear it too...
1:43 - Metal Pipe falling intensifies
The adequate medicine
Of course, my favorite song is "The Perfect Drug Side-B by Nine Inch Nails feat. Glass Pyramids"
This is the one boss theme I think is better than its licensed counterpart by a large margin for the fight. All the others I edge towards the licensed theme but this one fits way too well.
Nope, thats Mimosa, My heart feels no pain fits way better than Fast as you can and makes you feel the fight against her
Kales bossfight gives me senator armstrong vibes
Giant robot fight before the actual battle
Is it or me but does this song sound like the Gorillaz would make?
sounds like queens of the stone age
is it just me or does the begining song sound a lot like the Cerberus theme from dmc?
gotta play the game again but in streamer mode
I don't know why, but the official lyrics, "Surely you would've known what's at stake." sounds too much like "Surely no bullet, no wood stake." and to be honest I feel like it fits the overall vampire theme of the song more than what the original lyrics say. Plus, it sounds more cohesive with the following lyrics "Could ever end this spark that refuses to break."
But that's just me.
I swear streamer mode songs are better than the original songs.
Amazing
Me vs my worst enemy
What's the name and is it available on Spotify?
I checked today and it is on spotify. just look for hi-fi rush official soundtrack
For some reason when I got to this boss the difficulty spiked dramatically (yes I know how final bosses work)
Don't call it a comeback.
I dont get it...
Why this is kales theme? Cus i dont get the lyrics at all...
The song is about control and hypnotism since Kale wants to control the consumers with Spectra.
Can you use HIFI Rush music in yt and twitch?
It was made specifically so that content creators wouldn't get DMCA accusations, so if you exclude the licensed music, and put credits on the screen or in the description, you probably should be good
1:41 "your feet is... big"?
wait what
Fate is fixed
@@GrandSleuth huh that makes more sense actually, I been hearing it wrong this whole time lmao thank you
how the hell did you hear that lmao
discount capitalistic VERGIL
This feels like off-brand Devils Never Cry with Never Surrender splashed in
It's absolutely off-brand Devils Never Cry which is PERFECT, since that boss is a big DMC homage
I was looking for this comment. The whole song and fight feel very Devil May Cry 3 esque, which is a real treat
it's just funny to realise that DIO himself was beaten by 808
You forgot to add Kale's licenced boss music to your playlist:
The Perfect Drug - Nine Inch Nails
No I didn’t.
@@casetech2793 yes you did I just checked
Nevermind. It shows me that "Unavailable videos are hidden"
@@JakobHunterek Freaking obviously. The *Licensed Soundtrack* was gonna get cut out, but not the Unlicensed one.
@@casetech2793 if that's the case then give me a link to this music video that you "supposedly added" to your playlist.
2:21
This sounds a bit too much like NIN, is it secretly them helping Tango bypass licensing BS?
Reverse that. They have Perfect Drug licensed for this game, they just made this so streamers don’t have to worry about DMCA.
@@punketsu6222 Sorry, that's what I meant to say.
Ok
The other kale song is better for this fight
