That moment during the "Starring" phase where he hits you with all the anime tropes and you suddenly get nostalgic and remember the 12 of each type of character you've seen in literally anything.
The "Painfully Awkward Shy Girl with Bangs" hit especially hard because to be honest... that's one of my favorite character tropes. I can't get enough of those shy girls with bangs.
@Michael Lochlann correction: Character writing for sub-par anime and video games. There are good shows and games where the writers know what subtlety and 3dimensional character writing is, and that you can write deep characters even if they fit one of those niches.
@Michael Lochlann I mean, you can say that about a lot of other works too outside of anime. Not saying anime isn't repetitive, I like it enough to know it repeats a lot of times, but it isn't the only guilty medium.
I finished yuitos campaign so far. I was plesently surprised by it, it kept my interest the whole way through. The story can get somewhat fuzzy sometimes, but always felt fresh and new. I never knew what was going to happen next. I am going to play the other campaign as well sometime.
I do like that the incentive to bond with your teammates in your downtime is that it adds more skills and options to combat ala Persona. My favourite part of the combat is when you get access to EIGHT different powers at the same time and have a lot of the extra skills unlocked. You can build some crazy long combos and it's fun experimenting with them all.
These are some gritty and super-detailed levels and enemies for a game where its main characters are designed with a really simplistic modern anime art style
Agreed. If you hate Origins, explain why. If you can't do that, then give it a fair shot. You might find that you enjoy it. I consider it to be up there with City.
Yeah, even if some people claim it's the worst in the Arkham series, it's still a great game in its own right. And it's probably the best Christmas game ever made.
@@darthknightwingphoenix2081 I don't hate it by any means, but it was my least favourite by virtue of the fact that I encountered soooooo many glitches 😩 It ruined my experience.
@@chronicallychic same here. I actually enjoyed it all the way through (the critical strike skill combined with the shock gloves were pretty OP tho) but while I was doing a NG+ run it glitched and I kept falling through the floor. I had no other save slots and every time I tried to load up the game, I’d fall straight through the floor again. I literally couldn’t play it anymore
@@omnipotiscience7251 DAO has the best pacing, story themes, and impactful decisions, but its gameplay is horribly sluggish. Meanwhile, DAI has better gameplay mechanics with actual role defining skills, along with an arguably best crafting system in any western RPG (if only they can change the atrocious console style UI). Also, I like how nobody ever mention DA2 in any conversation about Dragon Age.
Felt more like a statement. Nexus plays just like .Hack. and proves that the game style still works. Also, made by bandai. Which thinking about it. That's probably why the re-did G.U. to refresh themselves and expand on it with Nexus
The "Starring" part made way too much sense because as he was going through it I started to remember several anime with those character types. I both love and hate that it can be decoded that much.
The problem is what to do for a setting. At the end of G.U pt.4 they basically turned off The World servers. Would it be a new different game/ area all together like SAO? So many questions
@@eliteforce5 They could just do what they did with G.U and create a new version of The World. They'd need a good story and another real world threat to keep it interesting.
I really did like Scarlet Nexus. I don't think it did anything REVOLUTIONARY in terms of story or characters, but the action was fun for what it was and I really like the production values and design the game had. It seemed to elevate itself from the typical JRPG style you find in games like Caligula or Monark. It and Code Vein are probably some of my favorite recent Anime-esque games.
To be fair, no game really has to be revolutionary. Stories and character archetypes have been done for almost as long as humans have been on earth. We're bound to run out of ideas eventually. But if you take existing ideas and do them well (like I think Scarlet Nexus does), you've done a damn good job
Yes, Absolutely. I've been waiting for another .HACK game for so damn long I've almost forgotten the feel when your pet evolve in a french pig that screams "MON AMIIIIIII"
Thank goodness. I have had this on my desktop just sitting there, installed, menacingly looking at me as I wondered if I would regret my purchase. Now I can play with confidence! Thank you Honest Game Trailers!
4:43 He's speaking the truth you know can we have another game plz. Because only Relevance they have now is in crossover Which is Just kind of sad like Capcom old Ip sad. Looks At rivel school's, viewtiful Joe and powerstones also Dino Crisis and many others.
The VN style cutscenes brought me- surprisingly, back to the days I was playing Valkyria Chronicles on PS3. While the 2 games certainly don't compare, (VC is way better imo.), it was a nice nostalgia trip I honestly wasn't expecting from a game I only got for the gameplay and cool graphics. So I kept on playing, combat was fun, story was predictably anime (which isn't to say bad), and I enjoyed the experience. SN would be much better served at a lower price point though.
Dude I would KILL for another Dot Hack Game I still have all the ps2 copies from the Trilogy of Hack G.U and the 4 Dot Hack games the 3 OG in English but the 4th one was only ever released in Japan so I got it imported years ago
Awesome video's man laughing my ass off xD but i noticed we missed one of the most important games of all times! CARMAGEDDON!!!! its a must for this awesome Archive :) Keep it up man!
When you finally do an Honest Trailer for the Dragon Age series next week, can you say, "Blessed are those who stand before the corrupt and the wicked and do not falter"?
Great I'm still confused as to whether this is worth getting or not. I mean I did enjoy Code Vein but if you played God Eater it feels practically the same
Funny enough, there's a theory floating around that this game is an alternate dimension prequel to God Eater, in the same vein (heh) as Code Vein is. Not fully confirmed, but if true then that's three anime ass games all inhabiting the same world.
The original series consisted of 4 games, compared to todays standards it really outdated with a lot of gameplay problems but a great story and awesome worldbuilding. The sequel, .Hack GU consisted of 3 games and fixed a lot of these problems, there is a remaster of GU with a small 4th part added to conclude the story, it still has some outdated elements but it mostly has aged a lot better than the original series and the story and worldbuilding are just as good.
I have been saying they need to make another .hack game for years now. They really should...but...ACTUALLY make it an MMORPG and not an RPG pretending to be an MMORPG with all of the character types and models of the previous games and anime and some new ones. I would throw my money at that, or even another single-player experience like the previous 7!
*"Monsters that look like Silent Hill creatures banged Ikea furnitures"*
Totally accurate description.

😂 the “Starring” descriptions are hilariously accurate
I swear, several anime characters from other anime started popping in my head as he went through them.
I felt very duty to understand all the reference 😂
Except for Kodama

"The power of God's and anime...."
Know that's what i call op
"Starring...
Literally every anime trope."
I both love and hate that that basically sums things up.
I love the game, but yeah that sums up all the characters accurately. TV Tropes would have a field day with this game.
Why anime is highly overrated
@Michael Lochlann I mean, you can say that about a lot of other works too outside of anime. Not saying anime isn't repetitive, I like it enough to know it repeats a lot of times, but it isn't the only guilty medium.
@Michael Lochlann Still has more variety than most cartoons Now a days.

Please do an Honest Game Trailer for Batman: Arkham Origins and say “You Want Teeth! I Want Answers!”
Agreed. If you hate Origins, explain why. If you can't do that, then give it a fair shot. You might find that you enjoy it. I consider it to be up there with City.

Origins was the only good one.

there was only one good one which was origins then a half decent one that was da2 and then puke
Fun fact, there actually is an anime adaptation for Scarlet Nexus.
Thanks captain Obvious
It's not a good substitute for the game so would recommend watching it after you beat the game.
@@anomalocaris2593 Actually, I didn't know that, so yes, I *do* thank them, thanks.
@@ShadowMKII Then you do not know enough about anime

Indeed.
I'm not laughing. I'd love to see .hack make a comeback!
I am but am crying while I do. Cause I don't see it ever happening

@@eliteforce5 They could just do what they did with G.U and create a new version of The World. They'd need a good story and another real world threat to keep it interesting.
Didnt they make a remake together extra chapter n extra last form?
wasnt there a secret ending G.U. part4 saying that theyre working on a another dot hack?
I love that right after the dot hack bit, i started laughing and only laughed harder when he told me to stop
Say: "I've come to the sullen realization that the icy grip of death will envelop me before an Honest Trailer for Dragon Age is made"
Make an Honest Trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD
Just do Dragon Age so I can start asking for Oblivion again.
Yay Oblivion
I'd love if they did a honest trailer for a tes game and it was one of the travel or adventure games just for the shear disappointment
@@vonfaustien3957 Lmao yes
God I love this. Arashi was easily my favorite character
Agreed, I relate to her on a spiritual level.
They should really come out with another dot hack game and make it live to.
yes i love dot hack
Man yes. I have desperately wanted more dot hack since //GU ended
I only got the play the 1st and 2nd of GU and it hurts to never know what happens
:(
good news because GU collection is now on modern consoles for the price of one with an extra episode
Make it both an online game but also a drastic remake of the storyline of the IMOQ games (like how FF7 had a drastic remake).
Do an honest trailer for streets of rage 4! The dlc just came out!
Sor4 is far better than it has any right to be. It's the definitive side scrolling beat em up, taking the crown from Sor2
The game is pretty good tbh, hooked me for like 60 hours
This game makes about as much sense as it's title and I love every second of it.
Now do a Honest Trailer for Hyperdimension Neptunia
Now that you've said it, please do a (dot)hack honest trailer? Original games or GU?
"... finally discover the government conspiracy to blah, blah, blah, anime, anime." 🤣🤣

I saw the title of this game and immediately thought of an MCU title: Scarlet the Nexus Being! Beware the TVA! I don't know, it's Strange.
“Weaboo matrix” and “Big mommy energy” will always had me dying 😂 I can’t 😹😭🤣
Honestly, this game is a gem that is underappreciated.
Naruto learning kaioken to find the treasure of the grandline is something that i didn't knew i wanted.
So nobody noticed that the video description here is the same video description of their last video?
Now I need to hear you say, " Where is Tri-Edge".
That "Starring" really cracked me up. Also, I was playing as another chainsaw welding Loli few minutes ago (Nanami - Punishing Gray Raven)
Man, I wonder what it is about chainsaws that loli's like so much?
I'd like to see an updated version of Kites story.
"Naruto learning Kaio-ken and searching for the treasure in the Grand Line" cut so deep.
Yes, Absolutely. I've been waiting for another .HACK game for so damn long I've almost forgotten the feel when your pet evolve in a french pig that screams "MON AMIIIIIII"
Omg I completely forgot about that!! Oh the memories 😭
Thank goodness. I have had this on my desktop just sitting there, installed, menacingly looking at me as I wondered if I would regret my purchase. Now I can play with confidence!
Thank you Honest Game Trailers!
Was just playing Dot Hack! They should definitely make another one!
I wouldn't mind another .hack game...
that aside, the subtitle for your naming is spot on
It's 2021 and he's just NOW saying Leeeroy Jenkiiiins?! I think I got time warped by watching this. Take me back to 16 years in the future!!
My god, the names after "starring" near the end are so on point for these tropes.
Hilarious video. I really loved this game! I hope it gets more love
I am glad you mentioned Astral Chain, as up until that point I thought it was just footage from that game.
Make one for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD next pls!
YEAH BOI, our old trailer guy is back
You have no idea how much did hurt my soul the final part of the dot hack game... i want that ;-;
Just beat this game today and it was really great and now I get to watch this without spoilers.
Every time he gets to the phrase requests, there's always one where I'm like 'Huh. Surprised no one asked him to say that yet.'
Ooo that "Jenkins" got me right in the wossname
4:43 He's speaking the truth you know can we have another game plz. Because only Relevance they have now is in crossover Which is Just kind of sad like Capcom old Ip sad. Looks At rivel school's, viewtiful Joe and powerstones also Dino Crisis and many others.
Yes. We need another .hack game
"Brainpunk 2077 2 Chan"
I am glad that I was not drinking anything or my laptop would have been compromised badly.
Yeah I would love another .hack game it's been too damn long!
Joker from Persona 5: *sees the social interaction sim* Dafuq?! No romance route?! Not even a harem?
Yuito and Kasane: What's a harem?
Brainpunk 2077 2Chan. That's the best parody title for a game this channel has made till date.
The mere fact that this is a giant hallway makes me never want to touch it.
It's an oversimplification. Some of the locations are extremely linear but a few are more complex and twist and turn in on themselves.
Please do an Honest Trailer for the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons franchise.
Astral Chain was amazing, I just can't get behind Scarlet Nexus VN style cutscenes
Astral Chain is probably the most anime ass anime game I've seen in a long time and I can't help but love it.
The VN style cutscenes brought me- surprisingly, back to the days I was playing Valkyria Chronicles on PS3. While the 2 games certainly don't compare, (VC is way better imo.), it was a nice nostalgia trip I honestly wasn't expecting from a game I only got for the gameplay and cool graphics.

Please say, “Hello, I’m Johnny Knoxville, welcome to Jackass!”
You did it you did the meme “how many times do we have to watch naruto learn the kaioken so he can discover the treasure of the grand line”
Actually a new .hack game sounds pretty awesome
Another .hack// sounds cool, but I would honestly want a remake of Chaos Legion, Power Stone or Rival Schools
0:46 power that revolve around friendship for some reason lol.
0:48 Unnecessary, over the top action sequences hahahahah in the "hallway too".
Dot hack does need a reboot 🤷🏾♂️
one of my friends literally yelled "WEEB DEVIL MAY CRY" when he first saw the ad
"Naruto learn the Kayoken so he can discover the treasure of the Grand Line" Dealt Psychic Damage to me.
Not gonna lie I never played .hack until the collection came out for PS4 and I really enjoyed it.
The four first. Hack were so good. Fight me.
For Bobby Roundtree, say "Come on, let's do it!"
Two Scarlet honest trailers in the same week!
" It's about all the friends we made along the way..........man, all friends are 2D" XD

Say: "Do you see ME going to the Owl Shack and bugging YOU while you... fry up owls?"

When you finally do an Honest Trailer for the Dragon Age series next week, can you say, "Blessed are those who stand before the corrupt and the wicked and do not falter"?
wow that dot hack insert.... I really loved the dot Hack GU trilogy...
You know when you find yourself somehow RESONATING with a specific genre combination? For some reason, for me, that combo is Anime and Psychic powers.
I've been wanting a new .hack for years. Was only ever able to play the first, hella hard to find the whole franchise, at a reasonable price
Yeah weird that they remastered GU in Steam but not the original trilogy...
Great I'm still confused as to whether this is worth getting or not. I mean I did enjoy Code Vein but if you played God Eater it feels practically the same
Funny enough, there's a theory floating around that this game is an alternate dimension prequel to God Eater, in the same vein (heh) as Code Vein is. Not fully confirmed, but if true then that's three anime ass games all inhabiting the same world.
You guys nailed it as always. Thanks for using my comment for this video again.
Thank god .Hack//GU is still loved to this day.
I never really played the .hack games, they look pretty cool tbf.
The original series consisted of 4 games, compared to todays standards it really outdated with a lot of gameplay problems but a great story and awesome worldbuilding.

Could you please say "Sweat on the training field saves blood on the battlefield"
I don't know, super powers and friendship do share a lot in common, neither exists in most of our lives these days XD
Now this seems like an advertisement more than a roast
Please say: "Let's go to Candy Mountain Charlie"
Technically the dot hack remaster has a new game with the 4th chapter.
I have been saying they need to make another .hack game for years now.

That last comment about ,hack...Me too man Honest Trailer Guy...Me too...
Now you have to do the "dot hacks"
now that ninja gaiden master collection is out we need an honest trailer to remind gamers what challenge looked like
How there is no Dragon Age HT yet?
Oh, how much I would love for them to make another .hack game
