- Hi-Fi RUSH features Chai, a complete loser who wants to be a Rockstar but doesn't even know how to play guitar. Hi-Fi RUSH is one of the best games I've played in recent memory and the definition of a "gem."
- เกม
The protagonist is the definition of “fake it till you make it” 😂
and he made it
So basically its Shark Tale?
@@sammytheboi5989 no he is left shark
@@hello.9958 LMAO Nice one!
You play as an idiot.
You can play like an idiot.
You can make an idiot look like a cool rockstar.
Win-win for everyone.
You can play as someone with somehow a lower IQ than yourself.
I love that nearly everybody glossed over the fact that Chai's 25
Ikr bruh I thought he was 19 or something
@@datinator1200 YES, i thought the EXACT same thing, 'til i saw the unlockabe models and it said he is 25
& the fact that he dropout from college
It's kinda refreshing. You think a game with this presentation, style and sense of humor would be starred by a bunch of teenager characters, but the main cast is surprisingly "old". Korsica herself is 32 if I'm not mistaken.
@@moisesfreire6408 and i think Macaron's about the same age as her.
Also dem, Chai is one year older than me. I already knew his age when I saw his application(?) form at the beginning.
I heard someone call it "Scott Pilgrim vs capitalism" and I haven't been able to think of anything better.
This and 'Fry as a (wannabe) action hero' are the best descriptions of this game I've heard.
Though the reason why he couldn't play the guitar is that his left arm is implied to be paralyzed (probably since at birth or in an accident and the damage is probably permament) thus the reason why he needed a cybernetic arm. He is learning how to play a guitar at the end tho and thought of having a second job trying to support his passion.
Man, what's sad about him that at the beginning, despite having an injury/being disabled, he is being mistreated. He was kicked, shoved and thrown during the surgery. Armstrong Project is advertised as to help people but on the inside they care about influence, power and perfection, and regarded Chai as 'loser' as he was already assigned as the 'garbage collector'. Despite all that happened to him, Chai still take the pain and insults like a chad. He may be an idiot, but he's a likeable idiot.
I maybe overanalyzing this, but I like pointing out how the game is an allegory to the corporate world we live today, the reality of big tech companies, and the working class.
Speaking of the social commentary, really like how it paints Kale as an utter irredeemable bastard who would enslave humanity just so he doesn't have to worry about delivering a quality product. That was my big issue with The Mitchells vs The Machines. How it paints the billionaire tech CEO as a well-meaning douche who is genuinely ignorant of the damage his company is doing. Yeah no these Mark Zuckerberg tech CEO types are rotten to the core and should be put on trial for treason.
i am cry
Half of everyone in this world seems to have suffered some disability of some kind. Peppermint got a prosthetic leg when she was probably young.
The world is pretty and bright and it seems like a lot more brighter version of Cyberpunk.
Right arm*
It is left to our view but when referring to his arm it has to be correct.
Feel free to nerd emoji me
As slight tangent, it always pisses me off that being a garbage collector is regarded as a unskilled profession. Without them, we would be figuratively drowning in our own shit. XD I feel that kind of language is the thing mega company's want the world to believe in order to pay labourers as little as possible.
But, as much as Chai is a idiot who just doesn't know when to give up, it's often shown because he can literally read the matrix (through music. Somehow.) that things turn out well, along with being able to turn something as basic as a magnetic stick held within a mechanical arm into a seriously big deal. Not bad for someone who they literally decided that he was better off dead then "defective."
Finally a game that represents me.
ikr? a rhythm based action game is the most perfect thing i would ask for
Him being a college dropout reminds me of my life
It's full of ouch
I have a theory that maybe Chai really knew how to play guitar, but he had accident and his arm became useless that he had to forget about his dream, but then he knew about ARMSTRONG project and how good the cyborg prostetics are that he could dream again on being a rockstar, the problem is that wiht a new arm he have to learn to play guitar again.
I love this theory!
It could also be one of those cases where the trauma from his injury made him forget to play. Food for thought.
i am cry
They could probably flesh the thought of how Chai lost his arm in the first place in the second game. I like the idea of Chai losing his passion of rock at some point and lost his guitar skills, but got it back again.
A crazy thought occured: remember when Peppermint asked Chai if he ever played a guitar. When Chai didn't respond, we all assumed he was just all big game talking about wanting to be a rockstar. But what if the developers want us to assume that and in reality is what op has explained.
God I hope this is true, and he mentions it at some point. Peppermint would have hell to pay after all that shit she gave him xD
There is no malice behind what he does. I love it.
I love when you cut to playing/commentating on the game during your session😂 some of your reactions are priceless.
Bro you didnt tell me your yt was popping off! CONGRATS MAN!
@@seandubsgaming Thanks Sean! I just have to get better at posting more consistently!
It's more implied he does know ( a certain boss fight shows it). It's just he can't because of his limp right arm.
This could def be a cartoon network show
Safe!
Don't ruin it
Or Disney XD
Starting to play guitar and piano at the age of 19, this guy brings me some inspiration even he is 25. I thought he was some ordinary 17 year old teenage boy.
Same here, especially since he had NO idea what a Screensaver is 😅
WTF, do you mean 25
@@javierhenriquez7927
Chai is 25 years old.
@@javierhenriquez7927 you should complete the full game and then you can be able to find out more info about5e characters using things called tickets because Chai is 25 I did think he was like 18 but he is 25
I seriously need to get back into this game. I really enjoyed the hour or so I played, but man - I suck at rhythm games, haha.
fun fact, you can play this without sounds, since the backgrounds are sorta like visual cues
@@xyzen9673 while it's true, unfortunately it still has the rhythmic system going on, so you'll still feel and see the beat, and the game still needs the player to have good timing.
Changing the settings to single button or auto action would help out in combat, but as for the platforming and world maneuvering, rhythm isn't so much essential until you find moving platforms and objects
I sucked at first but really getting it down towards the end was incredibly rewarding
A thing I've started doing is bobbing my head very lightly to the beat, if you can get that down it's easier to just decide to press a button at the same time
Man, give it another shot, even if it is on easy, it is one of the best indies i've ever played
It’s refreshing too have an idiot character that’s likable these days, especially when they grow during the journey they’re in
I've seen a dozen of reviews on this game but your take is original and has me more interested in the game than before. Keep up the great work and we'll be waiting for more!
thank you so much Donald!
This game takes time to get use to unless you’re an actual guitarist like me in which case it just becomes incredibly satisfying
Out of all the dumb things chai has done I think him thinking being an artist is a backup job is the dumbest of them
To be fair Chai said being a brand Ambassador does not give him wage
Korsica can all me an idiot all she wants 😳
ahahaaa my friend took my phone and typed that
@@kel_ski hmmmm yeah 👹
@@kel_ski yeah, we trust you)))
This game inspired me in lots of ways. The music is perfect and always catchy, and the fact that he had an injuried arm and used a prosthetic got me even more interested. I'm currently researching prosthetics and robotic arms at my uni, so this hyped me even more
Robbie Daymond plays Chai, and if you watch Critical Role, the way he plays Chai is pretty much par for the course
I'M SO GLAD SOMEBODY MENTIONS THIS LMAO
chai is definitely someone who would say "why is you so mean to me? :("
To be honest, I am still a little bit said, that they removed a beautiful pun from the englisch version (I first played/watched the German one) and there is one Szene after the korsica battle, when peppermint says: "It's Chai-speech for ..." .. In the German version it says: "It's Chai-nese (Chinese) for..."
I think the translators probably didn't want to risk it
This game actually seems kinda fun. Getting some Jet Set Radio vibes as well.
tbh its 100x more fun that it looked in the trailer/reveal they showed, at least for me
I downloaded this game the day after I came out after first seeing the trailer and though. “Oh this seems cool.”
It’s so good, funny, fun, fresh, and shockingly cheap but polished.
I enjoyed every second of it.
Forget everything you know about strategies and fighting smart, this game wants you to listen to the music and fight according to it
That Cliff at the ending is literally the same cliff from Teen Titans
Chai is such a dummy. I would give my life for him in a heartbeat.
Chai is basically Phillip J. Fry as a beat 'em up protagonist
This editing style gives me "deadpan dunkey" vibes and Im here for it
Looking forward to checking this game out! Once I’m able
bro you gotta and its not too many gigs
I'll definitely buy it, but I'm gonna wait till it's on sale
This review style felt like the ending of a good movie. 👍🏾
What a fun game. We need more fun games
I really liked it, but wish combat difficulty and rhythm game difficulty were separate. I turned it down to get by one of those music orbs like you got caught up on, but then the combat was way too easy.
quick tip to get used to the rhythm, practice perfect dodging... no joke do it, since the rhythm is the same throughout the game, so just practice dodging the get used to it
the first 4 words after "you play as" is entirely true
clicked on this video randomly and was enjoying it and then i realized it was Sean W lol. Love to see you making more non-halo content too, great vid
Best review of Hi-Fi Rush i seen yet, couldnt have put it better myself. Basically. Im with you on the 3:15. Even tho i consider myself average atleast at rhytm games i found myself struggle here, probably here even the most :D.
This has Saturday morning cartoon vibes and I love it
This is one of those games that deserves all the hype and advertisement from us gamers.
its one of the games made for fun not the money
This game is a BOOM. It totally cures my gaming ED.
Hi fi rush was such a treat
this game was such a great surprise
Amazing video! I absolutely adored this game, honestly might be the best game I've played in a LONG time. I'd be surprised if this wasn't among the GOTY this year :)
Tough year for goty i mean even botw 2 is coming out but i think this might end up being my personal goty
I haven’t played the game yet but my god these jokes are funny that I really want to play now.
Chai radiates serious Zagreus energy and I'm all down for it.
Love this style of video!
The sense of humor in this game is like if Borderlands was less dark, and Borderlands 3 never happened
Fun fact Chai’s voice actor is the same as Fret from Halo Infinite
Chai's voice actor is the same as Fret from Infinite. Fret is now the Chai AI to me, ChAI if you will.
He may be my favorite dumbass fictional video game character ever
This game is a love letter between music and scott pilgirm
I wanna see Hi-Fi RUSH 2
Chai has himbo energy
It’s been 5 days since I finished this game and I already I want to play it again all over again. Really addicting 😊
As a person who used to play an instrument the rythym bit in the game made me feel like a genius
Jet set radio certainly got a makeover
Chai is a likeable idi out because he is like the first few seasons of SpongeBob/family guy.
Both have characters who weren’t mean but just didn’t think things through but still genuine.
You ain't slick kid, but you get it done.
Guitar hero, but the pain is on OTHER people.
Seems like it would make a great cartoon show tbh
chai is just a me ass character, i love it.
Good to have actual games for once
HiFi rush have those feeling of Saturday cartoons, I myself is like a Chai I love music but I don't know how to play instrument unless using MiDi or virtual instrument that's why I really love this game so much.
This material screams for a TV series
"It's like Guitar Hero" No, you ARE the Guitar Hero -_-
It’s unapologetic and I fucking love that
Chai is perfect. I love him
They way the game is produced to coincide with the band gets me thinking back to daft punk with interstella 5555 and the pillows with FLCL.
Mans is all luck and no brain and I love it
Im not an idiot im mental
0:35 *Emotional Damage*
Feels like sly cooper
Wow! Seeing you suffer at those parts made me feel better 'cause I had the very same experience. ;)
So one day, Jet Set Radio, Guitar Hero, Cyberpunk 2077 and Devil May Cry had a kid....
Anyone else getting Videogamedunkey vibes from Sean?
Keep going, don’t let this channel die
Dude this game looks fun!
So he is basically Fry from Futurama? Which makes sense, this entire game looks like a love letter to Futurama.
I could see a show about this in the future
Finally, I can play the game where character is literally me!
Chai’s got a “cringe but free” attitude.
Reminds me a bit of Sunset Overdrive
I wrote it in other people videos, I write it here: Korsica is the best girl, she is a true waifu, so there is no way I just give up because you, Peppermint, notice that too.
At first I thought I was bad but seeing you play gives me more confidence in my gameplay (no offense)
Edit: after seeing the pinned comment I now feel like an a**hole so yeah sorry
Wish i could be that big of an idiot, just going on with only massive confidence
My training from mush dash and harmoknight have prepared me for this day
Ah man I love muse dash never heard of harmoknight before what's it like?
@CRAgamer it's like a side scroll mush dash for 3ds back in the day th-cam.com/video/6_iCPBCP8vI/w-d-xo.html
I keep seeing this everywhere but I wasn't aware it was a video game, I just thought gen: lock got a spin off.
damn good video essay!
Chai almost looks like Casey jones from the tmnt 2012
I know a lot of people say it's Game of the Year quality. Though I'm curious if that's just hype
There was no hype. The game was shadow dropped with no marketing.
imo its a contender, this year is just very competitive!
I've played elite beat agents and ouendan before, guess that helped a lot with this game xD
(Oh I didn't know about your backstory tho)
3:20 don't remind me IT took me 10 MINUTES
I'm glad to know i ain't the only one laughing with the game's goofy jokes xD
Love buddy, keep it up!
