Игры
Chais obsession with becoming a rockstar becomes super endearing when you realize his disabled arm would have made it impossible to play guitar in the first place. Or I guess far more difficult. Can you imagine how many people would have talked him down from his dream repeatedly up until the start of the game?
I know this comment is at least a month old, but was Chai's arm even disabled? He seems to be able to use it just fine in the opening cutscene after he starts the process of getting his arm. I honestly got the impression that he was faking it to up his chances of getting in.
@@thewrathofrevan5999that was confirmed to be an animation error by the devs, chai legit can't use his arm much, if at all
@@abdellnunez1403 honestly it makes sense that he might be able to use it a _little_ bit, or in short bursts. Lots of disabilities work that way.
Or in the case of ‘im about to get my arm removed in like five minutes’ you may as well use it one last time for something if you can.
It also explains why he's so eager to replace his arm, robot arm is probably better than a bad arm.
"Bro, the new kid just came to school and _took Bayo's lunch._ "
Probably the best praise for this game I've ever heard
1:32:10
I feel an overwhelming need to point out that the pose Chai is doing here is the classic Sasquach pose from all those terribly grainy faked photos, and nobody seems to have noticed, and honestly, that's a tragedy. Truly the deepest of cuts.
I noticed and I chortled at that scene
I definitely noticed. You're not alone!
It hadn't clicked for me until now
if there was a Hi-Fi iceberg, this would be in the deepest of depths lmao
I noticed
Rare case of Woolie playing the hot new game within the decade it releases, and I'm so glad he did, because this is a GOTY contender for me already.
its a literal Woolie game too. happy he got to experience it at the time of release 😂
Too bad they didn't reach desired numbers
@@JTF374 yeah they did lol
@@sea-fr Fuck, I hope they did. Because this here is almost a *The Wonderful 101* type of situation, where a game is INSANELY good and is based on a clear-cut vision for a original concept.
I find it hilarious that, in addition to giving Korsica a unique boss battle, the parry battle also makes it impossible for her to be summoned against herself in any replays of the fight. Now there is no doubt they would have unique dialogue for such a scenario, they probably didn't want to break reality as bad as having Macaron in the first Z-Shield fight.
Surprisingly, the secret inside CNMN was that they could forcibly fix time paradoxes. Who could have known?
There's SO MUCH CONTENT you never see.
That random "Return to Hideout" triggering hidden dialogue is PERFECT.
"Quality over quantity. I want THIS... BIGGER!"
He actually does the dance from Golden Wind.
Vocal Percussion on a whole nother level~🎶
"Girls in suits"
Never before have I been so happy to be on the same wavelength as Woolie oh my goddess
Has he played helltaker yet?
@@Norrabal He has! There's a playlist for it on his channel.
Every time I see the phrase "Boy! I do love being a Phantom Thief!" Pat has forever cemented himself in my mind as being the voice as he screams that from across the room.
I get that way anytime any character says something loud when people are around.
@@Kango234 BOY DO I LOVE DOING ILLEGAL ACITIVTIES
Funnily enough, the VAs for Chai and Peppermint (Robbie Daymond and Erica Lindenbeck) played Goro Akechi and Futaba Sakura in Persona 5
@@jordanhunter3375 Oh yeah. I recognized them from the jump. Glad they brought their voices to this game.
@@jordanhunter3375 I maintain this was an extended bit of Goro taking the piss out of Ryuji "That's how you look and sound like".
I find it funny how despite how Kale is the evil villain businessman. The fact that he is honest still gets me.
Hey guys! Siv here.
Hi-FI Rush marks Best Of#30 on this channel. This one has some extra bits in it. You may notice it has some transitions, and certain stuff is synced to the beat (my personal favorite is the beat-synced guitar scrape at 0:37, I'm proud of that one :D ) and the intro song fading into Chai's earbuds, as if he's listening to it.
Also a big thanks to the other editors to chipping in their feedback. Couldn't have done it myself!
It was fun to work on this one, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
those where all awesome transitions, good job Siv
Clean af as always 🔥
@@GiantEnemyCrabtree Thanks 🦀🌳
I literally came to the comments to mention how well edited this is. Great job!
Thanks for putting this together; it's awesome having a way to revisit the highlights of this playthrough (with convenient timestamps, to boot)! Woolie and Reggie's enjoyment of Hi-Fi is infectious. Such a great game.
Something that I learned after the let's play but STILL baffles me is that Track 1's level design is mostly unchanged from the prototype made by John Johanas and the lead programmer(in fact, 1,000,000 was the first song they were sure to pick since it was put in the prototype for what would become QA-1MIL). The director knew perfect pacing from moment one AND IT STAYED
This game is the music video that you made up in your head as a video game.
It is a rhythm game that rewards you for being on beat, rather than punishes you for being off beat. The characters and plotline are fairly basic, but it never feels cliche. It knows what it is, what it's trying to do, and just goes all the way with the fun. And the sound design is naturally phenomenal, it makes it really easy to keep the beat and keep you pumped at all times.
The fact that it was shadowdropped and hit the ground running and become a masterpiece just by word of mouth is a testament to how good this game is. There's so much to this game that is fantastic and I'm so glad that Woolie and Reggie got to enjoy it too.
"A perfect 10 until proven otherwise" indeed.
I love that it does EVERYTHING to keep you on beat, but it's still willing to say "if you just CAN'T, no worries, you can still play with us 😉"
I like how they talk about Chai stealing Viola’s lunch when you know they’d be the tightest homies with each other and Nero
I wanna see this fanart
And then Woolie ended up dressing Chai as Viola basically post game.
Nero teaches them the art of creating music with air guitar
1:57:02 Korsica’s password for Spectra may have been “Password.” But it also required 5 other physical keys, so it’s still pretty secure.
Technically it requires 5 other keys to be able to shut down Spectra, but she still has access with just her password… just limited compare to the others.
To be fair, she also had to change her password every 48 minutes. Maybe even for six months.
@@bubbles46853-ep9if
It’s a wonder that the password “Password” was unused for that long
Korsica's password being password is one of the subtlety layered jokes in the game, it goes in hand with one of the rotating signs in her area says "If you can remember your password it's probably not secure enough", coupled alongside with Korsica memorizing her passwords
@@matehiqu9905 I love the scrolling signs so much. If only more videos gave them time.
Get youself a man that looks at you the way Woolie looks literally any second Recca is on screen
My favorite moment of this whole play through is still Woolie bouncing in joy as he fights a parry battle. Second favorite is when Reggie sings along to the QA boss song. 19:41 the fact they don’t pick up on the fact Chai’s hand didn’t work at the start just shows how fun the game is; and also I’m pretty sure Chai has a formal musical education, not just an informal music education.
We see him handle some things with it though, and the way he runs down the hall, so it could also be implied he was faking his injury because he thought it would get him into the program.
@@In-The-Zone faking seems unlikely given how the upgraded thing only focused on the sling arm and his reaction to kale insulting about it was to get genuinely down
@@In-The-Zone I think,I'll have to find it, the creator did say that the arm doesn't work.
@@In-The-Zone Supporting what Amirifiz said, he hands the music player with both hands cupped, and the first thing Chai does with the robot arm is spin his wrist and individually move the fingers. Though what exactly happened to it was cut during the writing process, the implication is that he doesn't have fine motor movement.
Oh my god I never realized that, he couldn't even play guitar because of his bum-arm he wasn't just lazy
:((((
"See you at the game awards"
Nominated for:
Best art direction
Best sound design
Best score
Best action game
Innovation in accessibility
It really should win most of these.
At 52:53 i just realized zanzo is posed like kakyoin in the water tower, thats funny. Even his death is a jojo reference
EVERYTHING IS A JOJO REFERENCE!
The extra fun thing about the arrow moment. It not only mentions that weird Sega thing, but also lampshades the nature of games to have arrows everywhere directing you where to go. It’s a fun little addition, I think
Is no one piecing together the fact they did the Joestar Special run away scene... With the voice of Smokey as Chai Right there! Smokey inherited the Joestar special!
I really wish I knew whether or not Shinji Mikami and the other developers of this game watched reviews and streams and etc of Hi-Fi Rush, because I’d like to know the look on their face if they heard, “That was it! I was done! Game of the Year, in *FUCKING* January!”
When Woolie said "Poyo". I felt that
25:08 This is made so much funnier by the fact that Roger Craig Smith voices Kale
1:11:50 is so nice, because you can see how much fun Woolie is having. Warms your heart
The amount of coordination that had to happen to make the animation, gameplay, backgrounds and music all sync up SO PERFECTLY is INSANE.
This is my favorite surprise of 2023, and it was a treat to watch Woolz and Reg enjoy the ride.
No Bills have been removed.
Hi-Fi Rush is some of the most fun I've had playing a video game. My face was just stuck into a wide smile for a majority of my first run.
Fun Fact! 808 the cat is also based on the 808 drum kit!
"CHAI TEA? CHAI MEANS TEA, BRO! YOU'RE SAYING TEA TEA! Would I ask you for a cup of coffee coffee with room for cream cream?"
This is how I feel seeing "Panera Bread" or "Carne Asada Steak". LOL
What a strong start to 2023. A beautifully polished, stylish and fully realized rhythm action game. Its one of the few games I've ever played that felt flawless front to back. Also, big ups to Sivsarcast for the timestamps and clipped comments/chat messages. Herculean effort.
I love how everyone's reaction to Chai talking shit to the bosses, is literally the same thing; Ryuji being a fucking doofus, BOY ITS GREAT BEING ONE OF THE PHANTOM THIEVES, MY FELLOW PHANTOM THIEVES!
"Punched into 2D! He punched a whole dimension outta him!"
So if there's a Hi-Fi Rush 2, what if Chai dual wields his guitars, the junk guitar and the actual guitar.
FRIENDLY REMINDER TO ALWAYS BE SAD ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN :)
It really is a shame that this game came out so early in a year full of bangers where it's gonna get overshadowed to hell and back at award shows. This is still seriously GOTY material, with the only thing holding it back being the fact that this year also had BG3, Alan Wake 2, and Zelda come out
At least it did win a game award for it's music.
Dude gets a thumbs up for remembering Third Rock From the Sun, and I genuinely like the logic: err on the side of happiness.
Do Scots say oi?
Yeah, but it usually has a C-bomb after it.
I think I might be on my 4th rewatch of this compilation, when I realized 1 and a half hours into, that my face is hurting from all the smiling...
the game, the energy you guys bring into...
I love every second of it
I absolutely love how they include the stream and youtube comments.
GOATS
If your security is good enough, you won't need complicated passwords!
I've made that connection of "808=BOB" but never that to bobcat. that's pretty funny.
This game's whole....deal is basically what Borderlands has been trying DESPERATELY to do
It's like if they got their shit together and threw away all that Siren and Vault crap and focused entirely on the Big Evil Corpo & robot stuff
I'm telling you right now I haven't seen a game like this ever since Patapon
That 1:21:00 life gauge piece. I was totally prepared to look in every nook and cranny for that in Mimosa's stage tomorrow because it is literally the very last collectible I am missing. Guess I don't need to anymore.
46:45 GASP! SO IT WAS GONZO WHO FORCED THE COFFEE MACHINE TO REQUIRE A FIRMWARE UPDATE!
This video and pat's are my confort place in 2023.
🫂
The unbridled joy of video games.
The most joyous WoolieVS.
Man, this goes with the DMC5 compilations as the best thing to touch this channel!
Wow, they finally nailed the magic musical foot steps! Now the Astral Chain devs have no excuse.
Oh, did the protag of Astral Chain tap their foot to the music's beat or something and it was off-beat?
@@lolrus5555 yeah, Astral Chain protag’s footsteps is in sync w/ the HQ’s theme
1:50:26 I have come to the realization that it's not 808 fighting Kale here; it's *Chai* controlling them through their sync. It's literally Chai's subconscious breaking through the mind control to fight back.
The Korsica battle is essentially Space Channel 5, and I love that!
1:11:53 THAT line?! You put that there on THAT LINE?!
4:14 Cops 101
I can't believe that Super Eyepatch Wolf's hatred for Hi-Fi Rush extended to him somehow convincing XBox to disband Tango completely. How does he do it?
This is legitimately GOTY for me. Like, fuck anything else. This rules.
I love how the comments are added to the video
The best part of this game was a saga centered entirely around decaf and a vengeful robot.
god this playthrough was amazing. Like it was a great game and woolie especially was all over it, but even considering all that it came out fantastic. Gonna come back to this one for sure
also woolie unable to comprehend a less than cartoonish scottish accent and bullying a disabled guy for not beign able to play guitar with one arm will never not be funny
Let's hope for a sequel at some point
At some point, Woolie has to introduce Reggie to Revengence.
Woolie really nailed it when he said it was just pure joy distilled into a game. I haven't felt anything like it in ages
1:40:39
I had literally no idea that you could do this! I just parried everything!
Well, I do hope that Chai practiced that guitar for his backup plan... RIP Tango Gameworks, thanks for the memories
CHAI! CHAI! CHAI! CHAI!
We're five months into the year and nothings come close to this level. GOTY in JANUARY
Oh man clips of all the best bits. Love it!
This game came out in fucking JANUARY. J A N U A R Y
Good shit tango. Good shit.
You know, in a way, Korsica's password loops back around to being genius.
Because let's be honest; NO ONE would expect a head of security to just use PASSWORD.
Awesome Best of compilation! Loved these moments!
But first you gotta start in QA
OOF
Im so disappointed that theres no possibility of a sequel now, this game was so incredibly unique and fun
YESSSS, thank you for adding the Elden Ring episode part where the floor crumbled during the call back! I’m so happy XD
Glad you liked it!
Woolie and Reggie NEEEEEED to play No Straight roads. I desperately wanna see how much they fucking love DK West when they meet him, and watch them jam the fuck out to Sayu's boss music. NSR Being the game that inspired Hi-Fi Rush makes it an easy pick for Woolie to play tbh
Roquefort, Suspiciously Wealthy Furry, short king
I’m enjoying every moment of this,seriously Woolie and his Friend are really happy and smiling and having a Helluva good time.🙌🏼🔥😁
Rip tango you were too good for this industry
55:09 the funny part about saying that right there? Guess who Robbie voiced in Jojo's.
Did you know that the royalty free original of rekka’s fight theme, captive normals, is a polar opposite wordplay to the non-streamer song, free radicals.
Or that almost every character’s name, either directly or vaguely, is a reverence to a food or drink, eith some being references to certain brands.
Also, all the characters are all different ethnicities. That’s a bit more obvious, but it’s an imteresting thing they did, being inclusive without it feeling forced.
One last thing, from what i heard, chai’s condition in the beginning, with his arm in a sling, is actually because he had a medical condition where he can’t fully control his arm, and not any sort of injury. You could tell by how he had no cast when being prepped for his robotic limb surgery.
yeah its crazy, Free Radicals is Rekka shit-talking Chai for being a half-assed "hero" who can't do anything without help and picking on him for drinking the big-brand koolaid for so long without caring, Captive Normals is Chai's response to that basically saying that he's done being a desperate loser and that there's 0 chance he's gonna let them enslave him or anyone else with Spectra.
Woolie is the absolute WIZARD of finding shit. I never found HALF the secrets this man managed like fml
⭐ *VIDEO GAMES* ⭐
Dude, the whole point at 19:32 is that *Chai could only use one arm, and thus could not play guitar.*
Is it though? Chai definitely made it LOOK that way, but he still had a good range of motion during the opening cutscene, especially when getting into the hospital gown. Tbh Chai just wanted to take a shortcut and got more than what he bargained for
@@thewrathofrevan5999 Didn't the creator say his arm wasn't fully functional?
I got a similar reply to this on a different comment, and while I accept that as potentially being the case, the game didn't really give me that implication. Especially when Chai's profile talks about him taking a shortcut and getting more than he bargained for. I wouldn't word it that way if his arm was literally disabled.
@@thewrathofrevan5999 I mean, it makes more sense for him though because a ton of people in the lines in the opening cutscene werent disabled at all but were still getting armstrong parts.
6:35
...isn't it supposed to be a reference to an 808 drum?
yes, in the video the clip is taken from Woolie mentions that first, 808 is a double pun
"COME OOOOON, DUDE"
i hope you, reggie, and pat do an LP one of these days
1:09 What did you just say…? CHAI TEA?! CHAI MEANS TEA BRO, YOURE SAYING TEA TEA! WOULD I ASK YOU FOR COFFEE COFFEE WITH A ROOM OF CREAM CREAM?
Love seeing someone else enjoy this game as much as I did lol
can't play this game but holy cow! does this reach the top 3 best game of the year easily! also woolie is just naming references that makes me mind blown realizing! pretty sure that's some cool perk an adhd would have, nonetheless, watching this nonstop give me laughs and realizations of more references that were added that I didn't know.
Wished that guardians of the galaxy game did what this with its music it could have played its in game music when you used the huddle mechanic then it wouldn't have died because no streamer touched it.
the best playthrough of the best game; what more is there to say?
this game is so fun
somehow I always get reminded of Reggie Fils-Aimé whenever someone says “Reggie”
The 'Cataba' comment made me realize Peppermint is voiced by Futaba's VA. This is not an alternate version of Akechi and Futaba's adventures to fuck up corrupt corpos if no murder had occurred between them. XD
Perfect until proven otherwise
1:00:44
If you remember your password, it is too simple.
1:57:05
God damn it, XD
Just one minor gripe I have with the playthrough...
Did Woolie not realize Chai couldn't play guitar cause of his disabled arm? Contrary to popular belief, Chai's left arm really was partially disabled. (word of god confirmed as much)
Yeah, but it doesn't really change that fact that he's a massive poser.
@@dancinginfernal * was
@@SonnyFRST true, my mistake
Spoiler alert he added more to the tip 😂
1:46:52 I wish games acknowledged my lack of acknowledgent more like that
Im sure you've heard this from someone else by now, but the reason why he hasn't learned guitar by the time of the game, is that his right arm, the one he replaced, wasn't fully functional, which is probably why he volunteered for the arm replacement.
I basically stopped the video and went to buy the game the moment I found in 2min it was rhythm action like I always wanted and played it so I won’t get spoiled
