Afro going from exited to having his self-esteem destroyed by basic rhythm mechanics in .5 seconds is the kind of quality content I expect form this channel.
The best description for this game is the one most people give: "it made me feel like I was a kid again for a bit" and I think that's what games should be. Sure some are anazing stories that make you reflect, but most should just be fun and alleviate the stress you carry all day
Still boggles my mind that this game came out of nowhere with the quality that it did. Wish more games these days could meet this level release quality.
best advice for staying on beat. just dont focus on the beat, the rhythm of the music will come naturally, and soon enough you will fall into the rhythm, but if you still need that help, every level has a tempo, at the start of every level, just listen to the music, bob your head or tap your foot, usually thats enough to get you back into sync
Another tip that the game gives is to time your inputs on attack hits. As soon as an attack lands, press the input again and it’ll be on beat. Between encounters, you can also dash to find and stay in rhythm.
Yea, I think you can good a grasp of the combat in about 2hrs. I also hop into the training room everytime I jump back into the game every few days before continuing the campaign. It's really satisfying when you can string together combos, your guitar adding to the beat, the crowd chanting your name, and the music getting more vocal 😎 This whole game is a vibe
It’s made by Tango Gameworks of Ghostwire Tokyo and Evil Within fame, also happens to be founded by the guy who created Resident Evil, If I remember correctly. Completely different direction and it’s honestly amazing. Glad to see you on this one, man 💯💯
If you do keep going with this game, Afro, I have a bit of info that may help you: Chai always attacks on beat, you don't have to worry about timing your basic attacks. All you need to worry about is timing your Beat Hits and a few other mechanics you run into later.
Also regarding the gameplay, don't stress out about being on Beat to the music. The game automatically syncs you up when you attack. You just get bonus Rewards for attacking on beat yourself. And regarding the beat hit at the end of a Combo, you'll know you've done it when you See some type of shock wave Or a special effect. Just play it normally like you would a DMC game. The beat will come naturally. For your light and heavy attacks, the easiest way to stay on the beat is every time you land an attack, that's when you press the attack button (light or heavy) again.
Too add to this, I also highly recommend giving the tutorial popups actual consideration. There are many tips and instructions that won't naturally occur to you. It seems as though you may have missed the instructions on the triple dash, and you also skipped the info on how enemies' stun gauges work.
Just a little tip my guy, chai ALWAYS hits on beat. So even if you mess up the timing on one attack you can catch yourself by attacking again as soon as your attack connects. Once you get the hang of the timing this game makes you feel amazing
At around 12:02 when he talks about what the indicator for hitting on beat is, its the music note that pops up over you. It happens when you actually hit on beat. One little trick when youre using your heavy(y) is to time based off the snap/clap he does after the first hit on beat. Its basically " 1 AND 2 AND 3..and so on. You hit one 1, wait on the AND, then hit again on the 2. Or think of it like, 1,2,3,4, and hit on the 1, then 3 when counting. For standard attack (x), its simply hitting every beat, 1234. Also with doing combos where you mix in hitting on the "off "beat. Its just so cool to see this implemented in a game like this. Ive been into music for years and actually play a couple instruments. Never thought a game would nail the timing aspect of music so well and honestly excites me to see others gradually learn and grasp that ability while playing. Itll help in real world experience aswell since youll have a better understanding of how music is played on timing, and how one could play with others who learn to play on beat with you on the fly.
I absolutely loved this game. It felt refreshing. I just finished it and dear God it was fun. I'm so happy to see more people discovering it and liking it.
Just played through this game yesterday and I was having a blast. It's very important to CHECK YOUR AUDIO LATENCY (you can do so in the starting menu of the game!). At the beginning it was very hard for me to hit the beat on the spot, but it turned out it was just the fault of my bluetooth soundbar all along... 🙉
almost finished with this game. make sure to look at the challenges on the wall art of your base. theres a TON of currency you can earn. literally 100k+ for some game is a 10/10 the combat surprisingly has a ton of depth
I just beat this tonight and Afro! You’re gunna LOVE this game! EDIT: Also you can change the songs in the options menu for it to not be copyrighted, it’s under streamer mode I believe.
Never heard about it before, i was sceptic about it and I wasn't really interested. BUT WOW, how wrong was I!!!!! it is absolutely amazing! Love the Music, pls continue the series !
The best part about this game is that it doesn't punish you for being off-beat, but rather reward you for when you're on-beat. Like, your attacks will always land on-beat no matter when you press them, but they'll always land on-beat automatically. It feels more rewarding IMO, without alienating those who aren't so good with rhythm-mechanics.
*Afro please see this game through you literally in for a treat and honestly you should bring the difficulty down to Normal with your history lol. I don’t recall you seeing DMC5 through so just put it on Normal and have a good time*
I feel like Afro gonna drop this if it don’t do crazy views, but I don’t know how he can NOT play a rhythm anime? 2nd to last Boss is a monster. Worth the ride.
So happy to see you playing this, it is a really fun game and it just makes you feel amazing when you get rated well and hit that BEAT Also the English VA for the main charcter voices Yosuke from persona 4, as well as Marth, Super man, Spider man PS4 and Sasuke Uchiha
The last rhythm game I played was Patapon 1-3 from the PSP era. While playing this, I usually bob my head and body to the rhythm while playing to make it easier to time the beat. I know it sounds stupid, but I became more immersed to the game while doing it. I never had this much casual fun with a game before.
because the game released the very day they announced it, and it only got to the mainstream sphere (outside those who follow xbox or are on twitter where it blew up) last week

This game has that Saturday morning cartoon feel to it and it’s phenomenal
Yesss!!!
More like visual diarrhea from bethesda as always.
same thing i’m saying
Like Sonic X or Spectacular Spider-man
@@ItsKeysama i was thinking more like teenage mutant ninja turtles 2003 but sonic x and spectacular work as well

yea, i remember when games where fun
@@David_Duckylove225 They still are
So glad he’s playing this game now
I didn't know I needed this. PLEASE continue this series my guy I love your energy in this.
Need more
I NEED afro to make a full playthrough of this. This game is so good and his commentary would make a channel banger for sure
There's no one better than Afro when it comes to these episodic cliffhanger moments. That shit had me dying 🤣🤣
"THAT AIN'T REKKA N-"
Famous last words
For fans of Persona; Chai is voiced by the same VA as Akechi, and Peppermint has the same VA as Futaba.
WHAT
I thought Chai's VA was Ben 10 ngl
@@williamrichter1113 No, but he did voice Spider-Man in the 2017 cartoon.
Kales VA is the same as yusuke as well
@@jakej2930 Matt Mercer's in the game? He wasn't listed in imdb.
I just finished this today. Xbox needs to make this a flagship series, it's a masterpiece
Just finished it,too. The last level was pure bliss
Hope the success helps game studios realize that gameplay > marketing
I really hope this makes devs, and publishers realize there is a HUGE market for these types of games.
True we need more Good games like this, we got Hogwarts Legacy and others too.
Nah, xbox is still nothing but trash just like bethesda.
The fact the main villain is voiced after Sonic’s VA is kinda fire. Never seen Roger do a villain role but it ain’t bad
That’s because u barley know if if his roles. He’s n brio from crash and deidara from naruto
The ending got me weak 🤣 I'm so glad you played this game
No cause same that had me giggling like a little kid
@@MexCzar fire pfp
THAT AINT REKKA NI-
the attack on titan to be continued caught me off guard fr
Anyone else just happy when afro finds a game he likes
This game is so good. Definitely early goty contender
Glad seeing you play this, it’s a banger through and through
God I hope he continues this soon alongside H.L., cause this game is GRRRREAT!
first time ive heard of this game and i want afro to finish this with this kind of energy PLEASE
YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE IT AS THE STORY PROGRESSES!!!!
This is an early game of the year contender for me, glad to see Afro enjoying it! I’m glad a lot of people are getting to see how good this game is

808 is ONE of the best things in game too, the good energy she gives just for naturaly being whith you is good

This whole game is a vibe
As a musician, i can say that this game has a perfect tempo
I love how Afro also immediately knew Vandelay was a villain. Mfker exudes that vibe like no other😂😂
Ps please play and upload the full game🥺

"Wait, so everything's on beat?"
Game genre: *Rhythm* *Game*
"Why is this so hard bruh??"
Difficulty chosen: *Very* *Hard*
7:56 fav moment by afro so far. with the beat and that dodge??? that was gas
10:30 “idk who the hell I thought I was. Literally me every time I turn the difficulty down😅😂
This game is an absolute surprise and treat! You are going to love the shit out of this.
I LOVE SEEING YOU TO CONTINUE AND COMPLETE THIS SERIES
I dont wanna say it but
“THAT AINT REKKA NI-” made me ball my eyes out bro funniest thing i have heard ever
Definitely make more videos of this game. I wanna see a full play through of Hi Fi Rush!

More of this please bro
I couldn't stop bopping the whole video. I was under a spell
15:25 "feels like Im a kid again'" you sure are.. brought back to the good ol days
Afro pls play this game is not that long and is absolute gas!
They made a robot with human personality to work as a receptionist.
This game is sick and I love style, ready to see Afro play this more
almost finished with this game. make sure to look at the challenges on the wall art of your base. theres a TON of currency you can earn. literally 100k+ for some
game is a 10/10
the combat surprisingly has a ton of depth
It's actually canon that Chai can't use his right arm for some reason. Regardless, he had a legitimately good reason for joining project Armstrong.
By the end of the game the combos and partner attacks become second nature, shit was so fun ngl
The beat mechanic also reminds me of Metal Hellsinger. You gotta do EVERYTHING on beat. Reloading, jumping, shooting, melee, dash, ult, Etc
Great video 💪💯 should definitely do b a play through or keep the game play coming 💯
Alot of times I forget he does these playthroughs on the hardest difficulty
BRO PLEASE I DONT ASK FOR NOTHING BUT I AM ASKING YOU TO MAKE THIS A PROPER SERIES
"Let me just avoid the red laser" proceeds to stand in red laser path
I don't think the AOT "To be continued" screen ever made more sense LLMAOO
I just beat this tonight and Afro! You’re gunna LOVE this game!
EDIT: Also you can change the songs in the options menu for it to not be copyrighted, it’s under streamer mode I believe.
He's already done it, or the music playing during the boss fight would be different.
Hard difficulty is real hard when a brother can’t even do it 😂
Never heard about it before, i was sceptic about it and I wasn't really interested. BUT WOW, how wrong was I!!!!! it is absolutely amazing! Love the Music, pls continue the series !
Afro just casually not using his series x is crazy while mine is being used everyday non stop 😭
I mean, he does have a PS5 soo I don’t blame him.
some people just prioritize different consoles more but this game is a banger
Please make it a series 🙏🙏

Me if the cops pull me over got me in tears 😂
You had to do us with that cliffhanger
13:10 No idea why, but the timing of that particular censor cracks me up way more than it should.
*Afro please see this game through you literally in for a treat and honestly you should bring the difficulty down to Normal with your history lol. I don’t recall you seeing DMC5 through so just put it on Normal and have a good time*
'Recca ain't pick the verbs' my friend and i have added this to our regularly used quotes since we played a few weeks back. it makes us giggle
I feel like Afro gonna drop this if it don’t do crazy views, but I don’t know how he can NOT play a rhythm anime? 2nd to last Boss is a monster. Worth the ride.
One of my favourite bosses of the last couple of years by far
Beating this game on very hard was a 0.3% achievement I will take it.
this game was top 4 selling game on steam on release
He’s back in full now
I can’t express how much I enjoy watching this kid lol so good
I had similar reactions playing this game. Its a great game so glad you played it.
22:59 this got me weak 😂
So happy to see you playing this, it is a really fun game and it just makes you feel amazing when you get rated well and hit that BEAT
Also the English VA for the main charcter voices Yosuke from persona 4, as well as Marth, Super man, Spider man PS4 and Sasuke Uchiha
“THAT AINT REKK-“
Ngl if invincible can look like this it would be so fire!!!
Also I hope you make this a series cuz this looks 🔥
no fucking way afro lowkey abandoning this series, get back on the beat bruh 😭
As much as I agree with this, there may be other games hes trying out besides this one.
Bro this game is PEAK, pls pls do a series!! It fr gets better as you progress

Pun intended. Just feel the rhythm, and you'll be gtg.
