I'm a drummer and I'm having more trouble with this than other rhythm games. I think I'd prefer it if attacks failed when you missed the beat rather than adjusting the animation. It creates a disconnect between your inputs and what you see on the screen which just doesn't feel right to me in this kind of game. Everything else about it is great but that's a significant hangup.
That's weird. Not sure why you are experiencing that.
My goodness. Some of you have absolutely no shame at all.
You get the crowd sounds when you're landing on the beat, and the little musical note appears over his head. That's the feedback you need to cue into.
^absolutely this. You don't want any delay/lag in this game if you want to take advantage of the boosts. If you are a button masher and don't care or know the difference, then your TV lag (if you have it) won't be a concern.
No no, I wouldn’t worry about it not getting noticed. When a game that’s this good that comes out of left field and surprises everyone, the game will get noticed.
RGB'D
heavy attacks are not delayed, they last 2 beats.
I know right? Imagine liking a game tsk tsk.
Or they like it a bunch. Either or.
They had talked last year about how they planned to release something very "off-brand" for them, the complete opposite of Evil Within, but that was about it. The name "Hi-Fi Rush" also leaked a few days before the announcement so people kind of knew something was coming, but not what it was, exactly.
Not directed at you but since you mentioned it let me take a moment and just say..
Similar in length to Devil May Cry 5, I'd say, like 10 hours or so. More if you want to fuck around and do side content.
I'm playing on a 1ms response time monitor at 180fps.. with nvidia reflex on. definitely not a display issue. everything feels great until combat where something is just off for me. I'm sure I'd get used to it.
If that was the only feedback, then yeah, but they were smart about it. When you're hitting your beats right, you get a little "Hey" or similar chant, and a little musical note over your head, so you get that immediate feedback, and then the hit syncs to the following beat.
Excellent, that's the way to play. You'll get it, it takes a little bit to click.
Same. I really think it comes down to delivery. Robbie Daymond just has a timing and inflection with Chai that makes his aloof brand of stupidity often charming and witty as opposed to just pure annoyance (like I got far too often with Forspoken). Everyone has different tastes, but I think this game is far funnier than what it's peers do such as Borderlands and the like.
The game has made me legit laugh a couple of times, and I only just now beat the third stage.
He also starts the attack on the beat and it works really well with the guitar notes/hits coming on the accents of the beats. I was wrong after going back in but it works so well in the music of it all. I am not a rhythm only gamer but I am a musician and do lots of studio drum works. The groove felt so easy to lock in that I guess I missed that it is delayed with regard to his guitar contacting the enemies.
In case you are not doing it already, try to tap your foot on the beat and focus on that instead of music. It really helped me with Metal Hellsinger and it helps here too.
Agreed. Some of those lengthy QTEs are infuriating!! Glad they are not often and seem to only be outside of combat - at least so far for me up to Chapter 5.
Later enemies will have longer parry combo windows. Eventually it'll click for you and you'll parry to the beat of their very telegraphed attacks. Small enemies won't offer parrying windows per se, but you'll be able to parry their one-off snipe attacks etc at your leisure.
I was thinking more along the lines of the character work in Warner Bros' Iron Giant. Some of Chai's facial expressions are very "Hogarth Hughes".
I would like this too, especially a game like Darksiders 2.
