Ask me about my fanboy energy!
When a guy's test in gaming is so much dictated by a coroporation he wants to shill that he compared a rhythm game with poor man's Jet Set Radio.

So I finally found some free time and sat down to play this, if only for an hour. I'm not a huge fan of games like DMC, because I have difficulty remembering all the infinite amount of combos, but I think my problem was that I could never really give a shit about characters and the stories themselves and thus not immersing myself in the game itself. I gave up on Scarlet Nexus pretty early and DMC5 attempts at humour made my teeth ache. But this one works like a charm - it is instantly likeable, has a lot of music that I listened 15-20 years ago and actually made me chuckle more than one occasion. And, ha, I actually remember the combos instead of just spamming all the buttons.
Still have to work on my timing. Usually get around 60-70%, but I think it is because I played on wireless headphones.

Due to having the most quoted post in this thread I had to reward myself. Go check it out again.

10/10
There you go.
Also all the sunset overdrive comparisons are strange. It plays nothing like it but it's everything I wanted sunset overdrive to be when I was playing it.

Like Bayonetta/Devil May Cry ? Are you an enjoyer of music ? Appreciate cartoony / anime / cel shaded art styles? Dabbled with rhythm games before and found some mild enjoyment?
Then this game might be a 10/10 for you. Find out for only 29.99€. From the makers of The Evil Within and blessed by Shinji Mikami, try Hi Fi Rush. Out now

I saw a couple of people posting that notifications were bugged but i was playing high on life yesterday and the achievements also didnt pop on my xbox. However they did pop on my phone so it is or was probably an xbox live issue and not the game itself

Man is your latency off? That isn't true. Light attacks hit when the dudes yell for on the beat hit. They aren't delayed. The heavy attacks are delayed a beat but heavy attacks are always slower

The first attack kind of feels like it has a delay, but once it connects and you start a combo, it is perfectly on beat. Overall, it feels great to control.

I’m already a sucker for Hi-Fi Rush though I’m interested in reception by media

I am really enjoying the game.
Main character reminds me of Aladdin from Disney 1992.

That's kind of the point, he's supposed to be a loser at this point in the game.
Trust me, it works when you're playing it. Game is a masterpiece.

I felt that too, but the game pushes/delays that first attack to always match the beat. You won't get the hurrah sound you would if you nail it, but it sets you up to still get combos beyond the first hit.
I am five levels in and almost always miss the first beat, but I've gotten quite good at the combos and I'm loving being airborne during the majority of most fights. Game rules!

Does the game open up? i got to the big city and figured it would go open world from there but its still just a bunch of linear corridor levels.
Not feeling the combat so far but my son seems to love it.

Your putting way to much thought energy into this, word of mouth will carry this game for months. There is no hard deadline on how much this can sell in a certain amount of time.
The games released, word of mouth will carry it.
If you haven’t witnessed what a real sleeper hit is. This is it in motion.
The fact that you haven’t played it (guessing you haven’t) and have this many complaints? Why would anyone take you seriously?

Either I suck or the Achievments are borked on mine. Come to think of it I've not seen an achievment popup in any game for a long time. I might have it turned off or something.
Wife came home last night and I turned the sound down all the way and just played for a few min using the bouncy cat head as a que. Not as fun but worked.

While I like realistic graphics too, I've always loved this animation style. I don't know what capabilities this particular engine has, but there really isn't any kind of game that you couldn't make with animations this smooth (shooters -3rd and 1st, adventure, rpg, etc.). Somehow the more hand drawn look allows for really imaginative environments and characters.

Boom, thank you! Me and my son were playing last night and we kept saying the dude feels so familiar, reminds us of someone we’ve seen before.
The Aladdin attitude comparison is right on.

Pay attention to the baseline of the music for the most part. Practice the timing a bit when an area uses a new song and you'll get the timing down okay, I don't have much of an ear for it myself and that is working for me. Using my headset vs. earbuds seemed to help me out as well. LOL

Yes, the gameplay syncs with the music. Try tapping your toe if you can't get it at first.
You could also change the sound balance so there's more music - just turn everything else down a little.

Yes, just tap to the kick drum. You can mash it up like X X X Y Y X X Y Y. You can also do subdivision too. Just like playing guitar lol.

This is funny because it's actually more expensive than Sunset Overdrive on stores lolPoor man's Sunset Overdrive 2.

Just count the down beats. 1, 2, 3, 4. Tap your foot. Look at the character snapping his fingers when idling and double that speed, tap. He also does a foot tap in between combos to show the beat. Also everything in the environment dances to the same tempo. He even runs at that tempo with his footsteps I believe.

I hope so! We'll see as the months go on, I guess.
I've been playing it and I love the shit out of it. Absolutely a 9/10. I'm not complaining about the game, I'm worried it won't get the notice it deserves.

Feels good to be supported.
I wonder if it's an issue with your TV? Light attacks here have no delay. Matches entirely on beat the second I press.

No he's correct. Hits land on the beat, but it's the next beat. That's just how the game works. But you still get the sound on the first beat (if you've hit your timing), so it all feels right.
