You know one thing I loved about Kale? He was straight up bad. No redemption arc, no nothing. Just stupid ass cartoon villain. I miss those sometimes. Also cool that he explodes. Love how bosses just EXPLODE and no one says anything about it.
It's amusing how it wasn't even a take over the world plot. Kale never considered building a mind controlled army, he just wanted them to have no choice in buying from his company.
@@SwiftpawWolffox YEAH, I was thinking about that when I said "stupid cartoon villain", but forgot to actually mention it, it is just SO GOOD, together with his last line before exploding being "it's just too much work".
The best part? He talked about AMBITION lol. Mans didn't even have ambition he was just petty. Petty in a way that honestly is working quite well in our world nowadays
This is why, after beating the game myself, I still watched videos. There's a lot of cool details you miss when you're focusing on the actual game play. It doesn't sink in (sync in? Hah!) that EVERY-FREAKING-THING is with the beat until you can just sit and watch it.
One thing I just noticed was the only real character design change (excluding Korsica) was Chai getting a pin on his jacket in the credits to show he works for Vandelay now. I know obviously they aren't going to make huge changes but I see a lot of shows, movies and games having a different design to show a character change. But this really hits the nail of "You can be a better person without completely changing" right on the head. While all the characters developed throughout the game I feel like a big theme of the game is staying true to oneself and not changing just to fit the bill. But that's enough rambling, I just love this game and it's characters.
He does also get a robot arm right at the start, that's a pretty big character design change. (Although admittedly without the later character development he's just kind of still a disaster.)
Not to say that any boss fight in Hi Fi Rush was bad in particular, but I was worried still that Kale was going to be in some giant robot or something, and it would be one of those big, lumbering, slow kind of bosses, so imagine my delight when he pulls out the sword and I realize "oh this is going to be a REAL duel!" We going full-DMC5 Vergil here!
This game is my one excuse to finally listen to NIN and I can now say that.. yeah, I don't like their music. At least not for listening on my own time. Having The Perfect Drug as a final boss theme though was stellar. The verses had me stressed and focused on staying alive, but hearing the chorus on loop was epic and invigorating. That paired with the stormy environment, Kale's design and his slow walking animations... like holy shit dude.
As a long time NIN fan I can honestly say that's understandable. Trent experiments a LOT with his sound to the point where he has a distinctive sound while no two songs sound alike. His music is not for everyone, but I respect you took the time to try it out.
@@rocksteady2263 Yeah I've always heard that about them. I respect experimental stuff a lot though, so I think if I listened to more of their stuff in the future, I'll come around to it. Plus, just learned my sister is a fan, so I might ask her what her favorites are and check those out too :>
@@Spicygoats probably the closest NIN have to a conventional rock hit would be hand that feeds, which would be my recommendation. I like the live version, which you can find here if you have an interest. th-cam.com/video/RDk5NB3pgJo/w-d-xo.html
non-streamer mode is more dangerous for TH-cam with Content ID and stuff, especially during a livestream where you can't test the waters before potentially getting nuked. But with the licensing and stuff, LEGALLY you should be in the clear probably? It really is just the practical concern because YT sucks
Thank you for your amateur gameplay! Unlike with S rank gameplays, this actually helped me understand where and how The Perfect Drug loops in game, so I can edit multitrack somewhat accurately without playing the game (can't afford good enough PC :( )
8:53 how in the world do you do this team attack thing? I’ve never gotten it to work throughout my entire playthrough. What’s the button you have to hit here?
@@frawbo oooooh ok, i assumed it must’ve been the assist button, but I didn’t know the reverb gauge part. That must be why I haven’t been able to do it lol. Thanks!

I love how lame he is, he's not smart, intimidating or hardworking, he's just a idiot who got too much power

I missed the joke of korsica (the head of security) having her password literally being password during my playthrough, that's hilarious XD
Makes you wonder how the hell she got the job if she does stuff like that.
@@HunterStiles651Makes you wonder even more why Roxanne hired her AGAIN
Sometimes the most secure password is the most obvious one lol
A good use of reverse psychology

Chai also gets a new guitar and Korsica gets a clean version of her outfit without the ripped jacket and tights
Hi Fi Rush to me, radiated early 2000’s gaming, friends, and one kickass playlist
Finally, me as a Nine Inch Nails fan, can rest after seeing this boss fight without streamer mode
God they could not have picked a BETTER tune for this final boss what a STUNNER.
1:31 808: Fight me, bro. I may be a cat, but I will take you out!
We all saw it! He couldn't keep up with them paws!

I thought roqfort is gonna be lame.
*AND THEN HE TURNS INTO A ROBOT WEREWOLF*
1:51 the spinning got me lol
You can tell that they were just so ecstatic at the realization that you can scratch Kale up as 808 lol

I feel the same way honestly, but The Perfect Drug and 1000000 are fantastic songs for their respective boss fights.
You know what? I ought to give NIN a chance, myself.
Finally, streamer mode off
What does the streamer mode do?
@@kralicidoupe385 non-copyright music
Uses ost instead.

18:27-18:29, They knew what they were hinting at. I know what that wink means. They knew what they were hinting at.
100% they knew what they were hinting at. There is no chance they didn't know what they were hinting at. It's clear as day what they were hinting at.

Nothings impossible through music
Gary Regular show
You can PARRY the shockwaves?!
Things I keep forgetting;
There's almost literally NOTHING in this game that can't be parried.
@@steeledminer616 there’s even an achievement for parrying a volcano rock in stages 3 or 4
@@tk_rocketman1904 Yup. One of the mural challenges is specifically to parry them in stage 4
Which is just... hilarious imo
@@steeledminer616 you also get a steam/Xbox achievement too
@@tk_rocketman1904 oh i know, it's just the 2 will overlap. it's required for 100% regardless
The perfet drug make this combat goes from perfect to fucking epic
The way this game uses real songs as their boss themes reminds of Dead Rising 1 and 2

I love this game and kale final boss theme is really awesome
Why tf does Kale built like a Sundowner
8:53 how in the world do you do this team attack thing? I’ve never gotten it to work throughout my entire playthrough. What’s the button you have to hit here?
you have to hit the assist button instead of the attack button when green circle is on the red one. The catch is that you need 1 reverb gauge.
@@frawbo oooooh ok, i assumed it must’ve been the assist button, but I didn’t know the reverb gauge part. That must be why I haven’t been able to do it lol. Thanks!
can you do the same with the rekka fight ? to know how the other song are?
th-cam.com/video/iB9yYSzGYx8/w-d-xo.html Just Uploaded !
korsikas password... was password, of course
this game is all about murder and death, prove me wrong
Can your content get taken down or can your channel get struck for uploading the copyrighted songs playing with streamer mode off?
Not always. Sometimes the videos just get claimed and all the revenue from ads goes to the artist and not to the uploader. Depends on the music
Well... thats not what i expected, in streamer mode its cooler
They legit had some nice ass original songs. I preferred a few in streamer mode. Others felt too derivative of the actual songs.
Not rlly tbh
that's just crazy talk
