    In regards to what you said 2:29:25 about rhythm games being the home of music, I wholeheartedly agree. You put it into words better than I could for why rhythm games made me appreciate music so much in any form of media. When you start to understand why a song sounds good to you on a deeper level, and better yet how it elevates your gameplay experience, you not only have a deeper appreciation for it but you also open your mind to even more genres of music.
    As an Arcaea player, I’m glad to hear that you’ll try it out! With its most recent update, you’re just in time for its most accessible form for new players so far! The story content is a whole other experience that I won’t spoil, but I will say that if you choose to buy the main story packs, you will be in for a ride that won’t be regrettable :)

      btw with xi's music in particular i think FREEDOM DIVE is probably his most overrated track ever and also the worst one in the Parousia album, I think Parousia or Halcyon or Ascension to Heaven would have been significantly better picks and probably more to your taste as well.

    I just wanna point out since the live chat was wrong about it, but the genre of Grievous Lady is "Gothic Hardcore"
    Breakcore doesn't sound anything like that, lol. Breakcore is a subgenre of Drum n' Bass, which uses more chopped beats and usually sits at over 200BPM. It's a very chaotic subgenre, but it's definitely very far away from Grievous Lady
    I also saw Hardstyle mentioned in chat which is also very wrong, those are not Hardstyle kicks (which has a larger tail with a bit less of an accent at the peak), as well as being too fast for a hardstyle song (Hardstyle songs usually sit between 130-150BPM), also hardstyle has more emphasis on the melody over the kicks and is overall more "clean" sounding.
    Funnily enough, those are exactly the two genres of which people usually wrongly attach to electronic songs ❤because they usually think chaotic = breakcore or hard kicks = hardstyle. And that is actually a big problem in the EDM scene because it's harder to search for songs, but at this point I'm just yapping, EDM subgenres are very cool

      thank you SO MUCH. Gothic Hardcore is my favorite genre and it is nothing like breakcore or hardstyle. I can see where people saying artcore are coming from, but at the same time artcore typically is much more upbeat and usually lacks the harpsichord and organ. The thing I find interesting about Gothic Hardcore is that it is almost purely contained with the J-Core scene and the Hardcore Tano*C Sphere, like I've never seen a true Gothic Hardcore song released outside of artists like Team Grimoire, Laur, Camellia (with stuff like Nightmare City), and adjacent artists (like the others working on Arcaea). It's such an interesting genre that hasn't really grown out of its bubblle.

    I am a huge Arcaea fan. There have been some absolutely PHENOMENAL songs released recently that I think are VERY worth listening to.
    Here are some of my absolute favorites:
    - ALTER EGO by Yuta Imai vs Qlarabelle
    - Judement by Tatsunoshin
    - Swan Song by void (Mournfinale)
    - Lament Rain by Ashrount vs D-D-Dice
    -Designant. by Designant / Naganai Nanoru (this is an alias for a currently unknown artist or group of artists)
    - Aegleseeker by Silentroom vs Frums
    - Tempestissimo by t+pazolite
    As you can probably tell, I am a "Boss Track" enthusiast.

    Ghost - Camellia

    Armageddon - LeaF (Or Aleph-0/mopemope)
    M2U - Nightmare
    Larva - Garigari Samushi

    If you're looking for more artcore songs, I'd highly recommend looking into Sakuzyo's or penoreri's works! A track I would recommend from each of them would be Sakuzyo's "I am "End"" and penoreri's "Monochrome and Vivid." These are pretty long tracks (about 8 min each) but they truly bring out the beauty and potential of the artcore genre

    It's worth noting on the complaing about the length-based fatigue, I completely get that, and the actual original version featured in-game is a good deal shorter, maybe around 2:30 or so?

    The «pata pata pata pon!» is the players inputs, that matches to the rhythm of the song to advance your army. The player has 4 drums: pata, pon, don & chaka, that they must combo together in different orders to command the army (pata pata pata pon is advance forward, pon pon pata pon would be attack for instance). That’s why in the song you listened to it sounds like it’s random every 8th beat. And yes you are correct, the player is the «god» in the game commanding the patapons in the world with your drums.

    Gotta say, crying right after I woke up was not on my to-do list but C2's II made me do exactly that just because of memories overflowing. 2020, March or maybe April, I'm downloading 3.0 update to C2, not knowing what to expect in a plot but knowing it's gonna be a grand finale
    And what leads to this song... I mean, it left most of us players devastated as far as I know. So this and also the fact that II is basically a mashup of Cytus 2's CHAOS, V, Used to be (ending song) and Cytus 1's Loom (basically title track of the game) makes such a massive combination of feelings that I feel there's only a few Cytus fans who DIDN'T cry at that moment

    33:23 OH THE MAIN CYTUS 2 LEITMOTIF GAVE ME CHILLS. I haven't pkayed the game in literal years, but it's still is one of my top games from a Storytelling and Song Choice standpoint. Like, 36:43 made me cry while playing it.
    Just to give a background, II is actually the final song that you play as some sort of a "boss fight" that mixes a lot of popular Cytus 2 songs, which makes it melancholic from playing that song at that point of the game. Like, a big baddie is in front of you, and all the anime backstories are fueling the character to fight them.
    Also, please so more Rhythm Game Music features please. Especially Cytus 2 with its story-driven song choices from a wide-cast of characters that represent a genre/subgenre of music.

    As a rhythm game music producer myself (aspiring*), I WISH I could have been there to see this live, or recommend some choices of my own. There is SO much variety within the rhythm game world, and I hope that you listen to more of it. From the crazy intense, to the crazy beautiful, to the just crazy in general.
    Personal picks (excluding various BMS songs which I'll probably make a different comment for):
    (Song - artist - game)
    Aegelseeker - Frums VS Silentroom - Arcaea
    Grevious Lady (laur remix) - Laur VS Team Grimoire - Arcaea
    XHRONOXAPSULE - Silentroom - Sound Voltex
    ΩΩParts - Camellia - Osu
    Meta-Mysteria - DJ Noriken - Wacca
    Wings on my Back - TAG - EZ2ON
    Summerblue - Toby Fox and Camellia - BeatMania iiDX
    grode - dandeless - Vivid Stasis
    Valor/Starcross - Lundy VS Wyvren - Vivid stasis
    Don't fight the music, and revive the melody - Chroma - ONGEKI (yes it's 2 in one)

    If you would be interested, do check out artists like feryquitous, sakuzyo and void/mournfinale, and many others, amazing that they can do artcore and pure symphonic tracks as well.
    I would classify most of the rhythm game songs as under the "doujin music" genre as well, since they mostly originated as indie producers, from places like BMS of Fighters. This genre is by far the most diverse genre I have found, and the sound design and effort put into these tracks are amazing. You can find IDM tracks from artists like Frums, and Symphonic tracks from artists like satella, sennzai, morrigan, etc.
    This also makes it hard to find tracks like these unless you follow the artists or play rhythm games, since music like these are niche (or people do not even come across it often).
    While I do want to gatekeep this in some way selfishly, I also want to share this genre which I find amazing to more people like you!

  • @zypherick8866
    @zypherick8866 Місяць тому +13

    Cytus II, Deemo and Arcaea are all mobile rhythm games, there's much other ones to check their songs (specially the boss ones), like: Phigros (my favorite), Rotaeno, Cytus 1, Orzmic, Rizline, Dynamix, etc. So maybe next stream - Listening to Mobile Rhythm Games Music.
    One of my Favorite RG songs are Distorted Fate.
    P.S. would be also funnier if you check the gameplay of the songs from these games i mentioned, your fingers will weaken just by watching. lol

  • @doner1ght27m
    @doner1ght27m Місяць тому +1

    something i really like about the modern rhythm game scene is the ability for games to commission artists to make music specifically for the game (maimai, sound voltex, arcaea, osu, etc) and it allows the game to make songs that fit a certain difficulty or type of map they want (osu's world cup commissions is really interesting for this reason)
    having a connection between artists and mappers/charters is what makes the music relate so much better to the gameplay

  • @Shadyman526
    @Shadyman526 Місяць тому +2

    Hey Marco! I'm not sure if you know this already or not about Metal Hellsinger, but as you play through the level and get more kills/bigger point multiplier, each song will add a new instrument each multiplier tier, until you get the vocals at thw highest tier. It really adds such a dynamic experience to each level and the encounters. I played the demo last year when it came out and the experience is basically like playing Doom but to a rhythm

    Ice- L or Ice- Entrance from Deemo. Great piano/violin piece mix with edm element.

  • @HittingBandy
    @HittingBandy Місяць тому +19

    MARCO FINALLY REACTES TO FREEDOM DIVE!!!!!! Ngl it's really refreshing to see non-osu or rhythm players react to this, which is basically like the anthem of rhythm games.
    There's a follow up/sequel to this called Glorious Crown, but I also recommend reacting to L by Ice, there are like five versions, the 4 minute, 7 minute, 14 minute, and the hour long version. Each version is basically just each act, so the 4 minute one contains act 1, the 7 minute version contains acts 1 and 2, the 14 minute contains acts 1 to 3, and the hour long version contains all the acts.
    I honestly hope Marco reacts to the full version in a separate video, it's literally like listening an opera or play. There's also a narrative story behind the music, which I find really cool.

    Look man. You should really really really look into Arcaea lore. And the music. Their story is so unique and the music is very very different. I will vouch for this game since ive played it for YEARS. I could even get a few recommendations. I really think you'd enjoy it if you took a bit of time on it. This game is CRAZY AS HECK DUDE. Remember genshin and its ties to story? Arcaea ties into gods quite a lot and whatnot. I will die on this gravestone and support that game till I die lmao. Now that's not to say thats the only good one but man.... that was the only game I can play for years. Literally I have man. (Editing note: if you do decide to listen to Arcaea music, id suggest their alternate versions. E.g, Aegleseeker is cool and all but Aegleseeker after world version is better and more complete feeling. So basically their CD extended variants)

Also you didn't go into the Shop keeper versions of the songs XD. When you get a chance, find the overworld version w/ the shopkeeper, or the crypt with they shopkeeper version. it's so freaking good haha. Also, you know this guy, FamilyJules was one of the guys who created the music of this game!!

    Its originally from ONGEKI and has chart in a lot of other games like project sekai, arcaea, etc. Speaking of Project Sekai, it is a mobile rhythm game but unlike other rhythm games music, their music style is more like j-pop and vocaloids so if you are interested you can check it out as well!

    where you are the drill sergeant, and the patapons the recruits.
    but when fever kicks in, (the half point of the song) where you are in the zone. the call out almost sounds reverse with how fired up they are. like they are one step ahead of you. which is very fitting with the game play as you have to be always one step ahead to make correct actions as there reflects plays no rolls in this beat.

    It is indeed the same person doing the clean and harsh vocals in Stygia, Alissa White-Gluz's band; Arch Enemy, leans more towards the harsh but you do get some of her clean vocals in there too.
    There's a lot of really really good music in Metal Hellsinger, from the vocalists of many different bands spanning a bunch of different metal sub genres; from Trivium to Jinjer to Lacuna Coil. I can't recommend the game enough, the music just sucks you in, and I'd say even if you aren't much of a metal fan you'll be headbanging along in no time

  • @kogane_qn
    @kogane_qn Місяць тому +1

    While I am glad Grievous Lady got through the stream. I suggest listening to Laur and Team Grimoire's solo works (yes, Team Grimoire is ONLY one person). I suggest the following:
    Laur: The Viyella series, PRAGMATISM RESURRECTION, Arghena (in collaboration with Feryquitous), and overall just go listen to his albums lol, Laur is just very versatile
    Team Grimoire: CHAOS MAGNVM, ouroVoros, the Project Grimoire songs (Project Grimoire is composed of multiple people with Team Grimoire), Rrhar'il
    Now I also wanna point out that Grievous Lady is NOT artcore, the genre for the said song is Gothic Hardcore. Artcore is breakcore (sampled breakbeats arranged in an extreme manner) or drum n bass with piano and strings. For this genre, I really suggest listening to Feryquitous, onoken and Sakuzyo. Those three make the peak Artcore songs in rhythm games. (edit: NOT saying these three only compose artcore music! They make songs in different genres too!)
    Bonus: I also recommend listening to BlackY, void (Mournfinale), Nhato and Taishi too.
