As usual with these videos, some detail over God Hand's sweet systems didn't make it into the video for the sake of time and/or clarity. If you want to read a little about them, I've got a few extra notes in the description that you might want to check out. Play God Hand.
Turbo Button THIS is why i love resident evil 6. Everything works so fluently from animation to animation, from dodges to shooting to melee, everything just clicks so well together and works wonders with freedom like no other shooter. You can slide and get up or slide and lie down ready to shoot, slide and turn around or place a c4 while sliding saving time. You can roll dodge or dodge an attack ready to kick ass, you can counter, stun by shooting head or legs etc... Different positions lead into different moves and each character has his own moves. You even have have wesker/matrix moves with jake, electric baton with sherry.knives etc...and each character has his own personal weapon with special moves(ada's crossbow flipping around, helena's hydra rolling, leon's double pistols shooting barrage etcc). Its a game so unique and one of its kind just like god hand. I can play for hours mercenaries no mercy just trying to get the best high score with hundreds of zombies on screen at the same time. There are 4 campaigns each as long as re5/re7, survivors mode, predator mode, pvp, invading people as zombies ala dark souls! I LOVE IT! Just like the people that hated god hand i feel you are the same hating on resi6.
FuriousGorge sorry but yiu have shit taste. God hand is not even in the top 50 best games ever and resident evil 6 is not a bad game. For god hand whatever your choice to like whatever you like. But saying re6 is your least fav is like saying its the worst game you have ever played and thats just bullshit. Sounds more like a temper tantrum Choice than anything else. And at least re6 is better than that re7 first person garbage. They could have changed the name and nobody would have thought of resident evil since it has nothing of resident evil outside of some recycled puzzles and names added exactly because the game has nothing of resident evil so they threw them in there so there would something, anything close to re.
God Hand isn't just "one of the best brawlers" I have played. It is a strong contender for the best ever, in all sub-genres (beat n up, hack n slash, action whatever...). Shinji Mikami is a genius.
God Hand is so underrated Some things that weren't mentioned in the video, the duck not only fills up your style meter but often puts you in the perfect position to counter an enemy since you stay in their face. Besides the assigned combos Gene has some set moves that he can use no matter what, like the sweep kick done by pressing square after dodging, the Shoryuken to use on enemies that are launched high enough by pressing Back+Triangle, and the charge kick to use on downed enemies with the same input that can bounce them up to the perfect height for a juggle. These moves are incredibly useful, aren't well-explained within the game itself, and learning when to use them makes a big difference in how you'll be able to handle the enemies. Also, don't just play on easy mode and spam the high side kick. Like, come on man. Play the game.
Critically, maybe, but I've seen nothing but glowing praise from most people who have played it, rightfully so. I don't think it's underrated or else it wouldn't have the cult following it does but it's definitely a very overlooked game as it's one of the best action games of all time and gets very little mention.
I sucked at that game (rarely ever got to level 3 difficulty, never on die) and I'm not even a technical genius who can get down and dirty with analysing start-up times to moves and planning juggles like the way Turbo Button does, but holy shit was this game one of the best I ever played. So fuuuun.
God hand is one of the best games ever made. today's gamers might not like it as they like only graphic focused easy games. they wont be able to understand the deep action gameplay of this game.
Perhaps the best mechanical analysis on God Hand. One other thing about God Hand I think would have done better is the limited power ups for the roulette moves. While I understand they were done to balance the game, I wish there were more of them because I used them very few and far between. Also, excellent analysis on the *right stick ie dodge move* . I believe (personally) it elevates God Hand from good to great. In many action games, the defensive options are usually underdeveloped. One block or one dodge that's all. In God Hand, you have three kinds of dodge, which also contribute in adding more depth to your moves (positioning and attacking).
Great points. The three types of dodges mapped to the stick is great. I found it very hard to up dodge as quickly as I wanted so thus I was into back flipping and then following up with jump kicks or other agressive attacks. One thing that helped was using an actual ps2 controller when playing this again on an emulator. I owned it years back. I was using xbox one elite controller and those analogs just arent close enough to my thumb for fast enough access. Sometimes using an original controller is the best way to go, especially on a hard setting. Alot of roulettes were useless to me. Also I would have liked to trim it down to 3 or 4 moves in the roulette for quick access. I only used a few of them. I would have prefferred left and right rolling to a side step, but I can see how many players would use that for positioning. I did a little. Was mostly into back flipping and did use up dodging in a few very specific scenarios, like getting cornered. Also to cancel the taunt from WBK move.
Just wanted to say that your character action (or stylish action or cuhrayzee action or whatever the fuck people call them) videos are some of my favorite videos. I also appreciate that you talk about the mechanical things in games in a way that has a lot of personality and isn't like an hour long emotionless dissertation on the subject. Good stuff.
jug head what no that isn't the plot if I remember correctly your wife gets kidnapped and it is our job to find her or something like that again it's been really really long since I've played this game
@@NicolaSnake98 you fucking fool You absolute simpleton This game is so fucking deep it makes metal gear look like Mario Super Brothers You shit maker It is the deepest shit I have ever played, the pure emotion given from all the VA's is so amazing that it almost makes me feel this is real You absolute clown Gene is my favourite protagonist in all of fiction there is truly no one as written or human as him You complete doo doo maker
Miek Kobe a god hand youtuber is a solid proof that this game isn't bad it's just the player who can't understand it well & can't play it cuz they only button mash through the whole game. that's why most of the game journalist isn't relevant anymore, cuz u r the one who decide if its a good game (your type of game) or not
Awesome to see the God Hand love! This is a much tighter handle on the mechanics than I had after fumbling my way through beating the game on normal, dying hundreds of times. Good job!
This is one of the most entertaining video essays that I've ever watched. Did you spend these last five months just coming up with all of that sweet wordplay?
My pick for the golden God Hand essay even if yours is lacking in memes per second compared to Seth's vid (which is also great). This one is still your most entertaining, accessible and informative essay on an otherwise cult classic of a game so thanks for making this one. I can see why ya went for a long break after this one as the bar's set up quite high though I did enjoy your relatively more recent splinter cell take as well :)
Been meaning to watch this video for like two months-- Hilarious commentary ("I've never personally been waterboarded...") which is so rare to find on these kinds of things. And God Hand is just the best. It's been one of my absolute favorite games for years because of how, beneath the insane aesthetic and great music (and general PS2-era style of unlockables and progression) is truly some of the deepest core gameplay I've ever experienced. Great job elaborating on this!
Yo, this was a dope video. I love your in depth analysis about the mechanics in all these video games. Never got around to playing God Hand, unfortunately. But now I absolutely fucking have to! Keep up the amazing work.
The game is sitting on my shelf for quiet some time. I played it ones put couldn´t figure out the controlls and got my ass kicked... but as a fan of action games and Bayonetta in particular aaaand after watching your video, I will beat this game!
You made the best videos man. I really agreed with your points about cover shooters, uncharted, God Hand, Darksiders 2. Not many youtubers with these views.
Ok so I came from Sammy's video THE MOMENT I HEARD LIKE ONE FUCKING SECOND OF "TIME WON'T WAIT" BY JAMIROQUAI. So yeah, maybe I'm very biased (I love their music) but it was a very good video. I'll be checking some more afterwards, but for now you earned a sub, sir! Edit: saying it was *just* "a very good video" was an understatement, it was an amazing video: the pacing, the commentary, and of course, the music, were absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for the great content, keep up the great work!
Fantastic video as always, man! I actually really appreciate this. It's difficult to properly explain to people why God Hand kicks so much ass, so this video will be incredibly useful.
This is the funniest video essay I've seen in a long time, definitely going to give this game a try now, I'm an irrevocable videogame masochist and my ass isn't going to kick itself
High-level God Hand play is always really thrilling to watch, and your editing, scripting and voicing made this a joy to watch. Its made me want to get better at the game myself. 10/10, keep it up.
I have a friend who does an annual stream going through God Hand (called God Hand-a-thon, I believe). Even does the "kick me" challenge. This was a nice, informative video.
Alright so you just showed up in my recommendations. I was enjoying your video but all of sudden they synced up counter with the music was excellent. I’m going to be going through all your videos now so hope to see more of ya in the future.
I just finished the game last weekend and I'm trying to tackle the hard difficulty and boy it really forces you to come up with crazy stuff. This video is fantastic, the attention to detail and choice of footage for your brilliant lines is spot on.
Nice, a new Turbo Button video! Missed your amazing wordplay, which is in full-force here. It's amusing, without being distracting. The Daft Punk joke was seriously smooth.
best godhand review ive ever seen, he even realize the forearm smash and barrel roll kick is a bit "special". it would be perfct if you manage to include the easter eggs, but haha, well its perfectly fun. thumbsup!!!
This is a perfect video to link for exhibiting God Hand battle mechanic. This video explains everything God Hand has to offer. I'm gonna use this video to link others as a reference. Great video! Keep up the good work!
I'm okay with not getting a God Hand sequel, as I feel like all the loose ends in the game were wrapped up neatly. But I would love to see a spiritual successor that takes all the stuff God Hand did, and improves upon it. I love the game, but it has niggles and issues, here and there. Which isn't a bad thing, it's expected when you're trying new things out. But man, could you imagine how good a God Hand-type game with refined and polished mechanics would be? In this stupid period of time when all anyone ever talks about is how "God of War saved gaming?" I mean, it's fine if you like the new God of War, but if the video game equivalent of a plain, untoasted bagel is what "gets you passionate about video games again," then... you need to play more video games than just whatever "cinematic experience" or Lootbox Gambling Simulator is being shoved towards you.
I saw all you videos, I hope to see more content from you, this type of videos make RUclips interesting so keep the good work man, and regards from Bogota - Colombia.
This is a total hidden gem. Such a cool idea and game overall. The replayability was insane for 2006, I remember trying different setups and moves to maximize combos because this thing was hard af. The only thing I hope for is a HD remaster just as they did with Okami.
It’s interesting what you said @9:07. I felt the same way when returning to RE4, where weapons switching is equally clunky. Only I’d say it’s more of a problem in that game than this, as you need to go in and out of menus more. I’m not sure if this is a Shinji Mikami thing, or just a dated feature of the pre 7th gen era. In any case, I’d still say Godhand is the best beat em up I’ve played, despite suffering from the usual issue that’s plagues the whole genre, where some moves are much more useful than others.
It's most likely due to ram limitations. If I remember correctly during the development of DMC1 you couldn't have both sword and guns equipped at the same time or something along those lines.
Great video. Just went through the hard mode recently on the channel and it really made me appreciate the depth of the gameplay. I had to tweak alot of things and change my strategies often on a situation by situation basis. The game really forces you to adapt and has all the tools needed , even when all the enemies attack you at the same time on hard. It really is adaptable. I saw most using up dodging mainly on hard mode. I mainly back flipped and then immediately came back in with aggressive moves like jump kicks to form an evasive/agressive play style. This felt right for me and wouldnt have been possible without such a deep and broad set of gameplay systems. Really made me appreciate the game. The first stage took me 13 hours on hard. Pretty extreme. Thats straight gameplay. I did waste a ton of time farming the elvis boss fight (6 hours) instead of just practicing fighting him, but still. What makes the first level toughest is small life bar and way less tools (moves) and roulette orbs at your disposal. Your crowd control options are much more limited and this is essential on hard. The main difference being enemies dont relent in attacking and they all attack at once. Damage values dont seem hugely changed or changed at all. After that I found I was blazing through levels RELATIVELY fast compared to the first stage. So if you can get through the first stage you can beat the game. There is some very hard parts later on regardless though, but there are techniques I found to make them managable eventually. Two essential things for a new player attempting hard. Beat normal first of course so its fresh in your mind, have to do this to unlock hard anyway. Though I made the mistake of returning to the game 2 years later after beating normal then jumping straight to hard. I had to lure enemies out individually with taunt and throw boxes at them . Super tedious. You have to learn crowd control by the time you get to mr.gold and silver bosses and it only gets worse with crowds later on. So dont try to taunt lure your way through like I did. I ended up quitting back then in 2008. Get Whaam baam kablaam move and chain yanker when available. These are essential for bosses unless you are very good at fighting them straight on. You can use chain yanker to bring bosses to you stunned, then WBK to extract god hand, hit up dodge to cancel the taunt that he does after extraction, WBK one more time and cancel again then go right into the pummel. Rinse and repeat on bosses when possible. Doesnt work well for the power rangers and bosses with multiuple opponents. One of my favorite games of all time.
I played this game for the first time back in December of 2016 and it was one of the best video games I played in years. Been meaning to do another play through to experiment with different moves and play styles.
Top quality stuff. I’ll be certain to check out any new uploads ass soon as I can. One of my favorite channels by far. I’d like to see your take on the new GoW. I didn’t feel it’s combat system was super in depth personally, but it does succeed in many other ways.
I think I respect camera usage like God Hand and RE4 because it treats the camera as a true part of the gameplay. It considers what can typically be a clumsy and over-looked downside to gaming in three dimensions.
God Hand is a masterpiece, so sad many people dont know this game, nice editing with the video, glad to know there's people like you that love this game.
Getting to level DIE in this game was the biggest case of imposter syndrome I've ever experienced in gaming. No way am I this good, chil out game, give me a chance! But the longer you can tough it out, the more rewardiing it becomes - this game has the most rewarding difficulty scaling of any game ever made. It just feels good to be good at it.

Ok but what if God Hand is my favorite game of all time and Resident Evil 6 is my least favorite of the franchise?

You don't just kick someone into outer space. You dragon kick their ass into the milky way
Milky way~
Best credits ever
"On top of getting harder, better, faster and stronger, these Daft Punks..."
Holy shit how do you string together so many bangers in 10 minutes!?
PencilManners Just doing my best.
Was it a coincidence you then said "face to face" a sentence later as in the song from the same album?
Guy Montag Nope.
Man, you've got a knack in script writing
"Preform poorly and pick up petty prizes, or ball with the best and bag bitchin' bounty" probably made my 2018. Wonderful video, man!
God Hand isn't just "one of the best brawlers" I have played. It is a strong contender for the best ever, in all sub-genres (beat n up, hack n slash, action whatever...).
Shinji Mikami is a genius.
It feels like a beat em up with deep fighting game mechanics... mixed with Resident Evil 4
Fully agreed, brilliant game, yet Ign...3 out of 10. I'm still livid about that.
We need a God Hand remaster or spiritual successor.
Helios sequel?
Spiritual successor doesn't mean sequel, it means something similar. Absolver is pretty good, but it just barely misses the mark, unfortunately
It more than barely missed the mark.
Ballejonas Absolver is more PvP than beat'em Up for what i have seen. So it doesn't count.
Absolver is garbo.
I can't Godhandle these puns
_God Hand_ is one of the few games I consider perfect and worthy of a 10/10 score. There's not one thing I'd change.
God Hand is so underrated
Some things that weren't mentioned in the video, the duck not only fills up your style meter but often puts you in the perfect position to counter an enemy since you stay in their face. Besides the assigned combos Gene has some set moves that he can use no matter what, like the sweep kick done by pressing square after dodging, the Shoryuken to use on enemies that are launched high enough by pressing Back+Triangle, and the charge kick to use on downed enemies with the same input that can bounce them up to the perfect height for a juggle. These moves are incredibly useful, aren't well-explained within the game itself, and learning when to use them makes a big difference in how you'll be able to handle the enemies.
Also, don't just play on easy mode and spam the high side kick. Like, come on man. Play the game.
Critically, maybe, but I've seen nothing but glowing praise from most people who have played it, rightfully so. I don't think it's underrated or else it wouldn't have the cult following it does but it's definitely a very overlooked game as it's one of the best action games of all time and gets very little mention.

God hand is one of the best games ever made. today's gamers might not like it as they like only graphic focused easy games. they wont be able to understand the deep action gameplay of this game.
Damn man, I miss this guy still. 2 years and he's still in my mind. I really wish he'd make new stuff, his videos were amazing.
Man it's still 3/10 on IGN? Completely undeserved.
It's also in their top 100 PS2 games of all time. Try to figure that one out!
Cyral Drive the game is hard to play, hard to master, wack af, & probably the niche'-est game out there (even at the time of release).
Croz Raven that's why its loved. I can list a few games with that same description that are better than anything out today by just being difficult.
You can’t spell IGNorance without IGN.
Im pretty sure that at this point they are just trying to preserve the review as part of gaming history or something.
Your scripts are hands down the best when it comes to 'dorks talking about video games'. Brilliant video
Perhaps the best mechanical analysis on God Hand.
One other thing about God Hand I think would have done better is the limited power ups for the roulette moves. While I understand they were done to balance the game, I wish there were more of them because I used them very few and far between.

Gameplay and all was great...but can we talk about the amazing and hilarious story
Gaming Kick Amazing? Nah its simple and just works, mainly as an excuse for letting you kick a lot of ass
The plot is pretty straightforward. What is hilarious are the characters.
story is basically haha look at this guy ok now beat him up
kinda like no more heroes
jug head what no that isn't the plot if I remember correctly your wife gets kidnapped and it is our job to find her or something like that again it's been really really long since I've played this game
@@NicolaSnake98 you fucking fool
You absolute simpleton
This game is so fucking deep it makes metal gear look like Mario Super Brothers
You shit maker
It is the deepest shit I have ever played, the pure emotion given from all the VA's is so amazing that it almost makes me feel this is real
You absolute clown
Gene is my favourite protagonist in all of fiction there is truly no one as written or human as him
You complete doo doo maker
Miek Kobe a god hand youtuber is a solid proof that this game isn't bad
it's just the player who can't understand it well & can't play it cuz they only button mash through the whole game.
that's why most of the game journalist isn't relevant anymore, cuz u r the one who decide if its a good game (your type of game) or not
I don't care what you say, I'll never give up on God Hand 2
im up-ing for this hahahaha
And once it comes out
Its never gonna let you down
Same here
Where are you man, you gotta upload more.
Awesome to see the God Hand love! This is a much tighter handle on the mechanics than I had after fumbling my way through beating the game on normal, dying hundreds of times. Good job!
This is one of the most entertaining video essays that I've ever watched. Did you spend these last five months just coming up with all of that sweet wordplay?

It’s almost a year since I watched this for the first time, damn. Such a good video and an amazing channel. Please come back dude, I really miss ya!
Awesome video. God Hand is a top 10 all timer for me. Your work here did it justice.
He back! So many lines this episode made me laugh out loud, please keep it up!
I've just now realised that Absolver, the "Kung-fu Souls" as some call it, is a lot like Godhand...
Now I really wanna play Godhand!
Yo, this was a dope video. I love your in depth analysis about the mechanics in all these video games. Never got around to playing God Hand, unfortunately. But now I absolutely fucking have to! Keep up the amazing work.

Watched it twice
You made the best videos man. I really agreed with your points about cover shooters, uncharted, God Hand, Darksiders 2. Not many youtubers with these views.
Oh thank god someone talked about this game seriously.
Man I keep coming back to this video. It's so well made.
I'm back again...

Noah Black Spread the word.
This is so well edited
If you don't have business cards that say "Master Wordsmith" on them, I'll be almost as disappointed as I am with your release schedule
This is the funniest video essay I've seen in a long time, definitely going to give this game a try now, I'm an irrevocable videogame masochist and my ass isn't going to kick itself
6:21 godly transition
We miss you, mate!
7:33 That was some impressive alliteration. Damn
Your review made my entire day, thank you. I’m buying the game right now.
High-level God Hand play is always really thrilling to watch, and your editing, scripting and voicing made this a joy to watch. Its made me want to get better at the game myself. 10/10, keep it up.
Your wordplay is impeccable. You're the Morrissey of video game analysis. The Douglas Adams of Playstation commentary.
His style is impetuous!!!
Just got through watching every video on your channel and I have to say this one was expertly edited. Glad I subscribed to you.
God Hand and Jamiroquai are two of my latest crazes, this video was amazing before I noticed you put them together, thank you so much!
I just discovered this channel and all of his videos are amazing. This channel deserves much more recognition!
Quality vid, nice to have you back
Also A+ music choices
I have a friend who does an annual stream going through God Hand (called God Hand-a-thon, I believe). Even does the "kick me" challenge.
This was a nice, informative video.
Alright so you just showed up in my recommendations. I was enjoying your video but all of sudden they synced up counter with the music was excellent. I’m going to be going through all your videos now so hope to see more of ya in the future.
a truly underrated game,glad its gaining some popularity.
Haha, were you throwing shade at Mark Brown's GMT at 4:15? That cracked me up so much. Love both your channels.
I haven’t played god hand but this video got me interested in it. Probably gonna pick it next week
"God Hand" a fantasy side story of "Devil May Cry". I love God hand even tho they didn't reboot or remake the series. It's a Hidden Gem of Ps2.
6 years later and this is still the gold standard for god hand analysis
objectively the best beat em up that was ever, and ever will be, made
I just finished the game last weekend and I'm trying to tackle the hard difficulty and boy it really forces you to come up with crazy stuff.
This video is fantastic, the attention to detail and choice of footage for your brilliant lines is spot on.
man what a classic i brought a ps2 and this game a few months back to completer it again loved it.
Nice, a new Turbo Button video! Missed your amazing wordplay, which is in full-force here. It's amusing, without being distracting. The Daft Punk joke was seriously smooth.
Wait, what daft punk joke? Damn, having english as second language can be frustrating.
best godhand review ive ever seen, he even realize the forearm smash and barrel roll kick is a bit "special".
it would be perfct if you manage to include the easter eggs, but haha, well its perfectly fun.
thumbsup!!!
This is a perfect video to link for exhibiting God Hand battle mechanic. This video explains everything God Hand has to offer.
I'm gonna use this video to link others as a reference. Great video! Keep up the good work!
may be your best yet
worth the wait big boy take your time and keep putting out this good content !!
I'm okay with not getting a God Hand sequel, as I feel like all the loose ends in the game were wrapped up neatly. But I would love to see a spiritual successor that takes all the stuff God Hand did, and improves upon it. I love the game, but it has niggles and issues, here and there. Which isn't a bad thing, it's expected when you're trying new things out. But man, could you imagine how good a God Hand-type game with refined and polished mechanics would be? In this stupid period of time when all anyone ever talks about is how "God of War saved gaming?" I mean, it's fine if you like the new God of War, but if the video game equivalent of a plain, untoasted bagel is what "gets you passionate about video games again," then... you need to play more video games than just whatever "cinematic experience" or Lootbox Gambling Simulator is being shoved towards you.
I promise you that i will be the one making this spiritual successor.
The Devil’s Advocate I hope that come fast.
Still nailing it with the punchline set ups in the scripts Turbs, keep up the good work!
I had no idea this game existed. I must play it now.
Same here I just found this. Have you played it yet?
you have no idea how hard final boss is
Hari Gunawan U have no idea what Double Shaolin Hand could do twice?!
@@jessibaet5828 final boss i mean is devil hand not angra lol
Great video, hopefully it introduced people who've never heard of it to this awesome game!
God hand , urban reign , yakuza series
These are top tier in the beat em up genre
Guess I'm gonna have to subscribe. This is just too good. I love how much thought goes into explaining the mechanics.
I saw all you videos, I hope to see more content from you, this type of videos make RUclips interesting so keep the good work man, and regards from Bogota - Colombia.
Still remains as one of my favorite PS2 games ever along with Snake Eater, Resident Evil 4 and Persona 3: FES. Good shit.
Come on come back I'm getting old here
nice video description. i appreciate the extra effort.
you already know this shit is good, so
glad you're back
This is a total hidden gem. Such a cool idea and game overall. The replayability was insane for 2006, I remember trying different setups and moves to maximize combos because this thing was hard af. The only thing I hope for is a HD remaster just as they did with Okami.
2018. and we still talking about God Hand.
cool !
one of the best game ever. i still waiting the second part. nice vid
me too bro
Not gonna lie, this is the most fun video I've seen on youtube. Absolutely top notch writing.
It’s interesting what you said @9:07. I felt the same way when returning to RE4, where weapons switching is equally clunky. Only I’d say it’s more of a problem in that game than this, as you need to go in and out of menus more. I’m not sure if this is a Shinji Mikami thing, or just a dated feature of the pre 7th gen era. In any case, I’d still say Godhand is the best beat em up I’ve played, despite suffering from the usual issue that’s plagues the whole genre, where some moves are much more useful than others.
It's most likely due to ram limitations. If I remember correctly during the development of DMC1 you couldn't have both sword and guns equipped at the same time or something along those lines.
It's unfortunate that now that we have more powerful hardware, all it gets used for it seems like is to advance the graphics.
Great video. Just went through the hard mode recently on the channel and it really made me appreciate the depth of the gameplay. I had to tweak alot of things and change my strategies often on a situation by situation basis. The game really forces you to adapt and has all the tools needed , even when all the enemies attack you at the same time on hard. It really is adaptable. I saw most using up dodging mainly on hard mode. I mainly back flipped and then immediately came back in with aggressive moves like jump kicks to form an evasive/agressive play style. This felt right for me and wouldnt have been possible without such a deep and broad set of gameplay systems. Really made me appreciate the game.
The first stage took me 13 hours on hard. Pretty extreme. Thats straight gameplay. I did waste a ton of time farming the elvis boss fight (6 hours) instead of just practicing fighting him, but still. What makes the first level toughest is small life bar and way less tools (moves) and roulette orbs at your disposal. Your crowd control options are much more limited and this is essential on hard. The main difference being enemies dont relent in attacking and they all attack at once. Damage values dont seem hugely changed or changed at all.
After that I found I was blazing through levels RELATIVELY fast compared to the first stage. So if you can get through the first stage you can beat the game. There is some very hard parts later on regardless though, but there are techniques I found to make them managable eventually.
Two essential things for a new player attempting hard. Beat normal first of course so its fresh in your mind, have to do this to unlock hard anyway. Though I made the mistake of returning to the game 2 years later after beating normal then jumping straight to hard. I had to lure enemies out individually with taunt and throw boxes at them . Super tedious. You have to learn crowd control by the time you get to mr.gold and silver bosses and it only gets worse with crowds later on. So dont try to taunt lure your way through like I did. I ended up quitting back then in 2008.
Get Whaam baam kablaam move and chain yanker when available. These are essential for bosses unless you are very good at fighting them straight on. You can use chain yanker to bring bosses to you stunned, then WBK to extract god hand, hit up dodge to cancel the taunt that he does after extraction, WBK one more time and cancel again then go right into the pummel. Rinse and repeat on bosses when possible. Doesnt work well for the power rangers and bosses with multiuple opponents.
One of my favorite games of all time.
You really should upload more instead of just 2 times a year
I played this game for the first time back in December of 2016 and it was one of the best video games I played in years. Been meaning to do another play through to experiment with different moves and play styles.
Good to see this game isn't forgotten completely
One of the best games I have ever played! So much fun this game! Especialyl with all the combos you can make!
Top quality stuff. I’ll be certain to check out any new uploads ass soon as I can. One of my favorite channels by far. I’d like to see your take on the new GoW. I didn’t feel it’s combat system was super in depth personally, but it does succeed in many other ways.
Yoooo new turbo button video! Good stuff my dude
Best intro to a video God Hands down
finally another video about this (G)old game
I would love to see new content from this channel in the future, you provided some excellent technical insights.
7:32 is the mark of some amazing script writing.
I think I respect camera usage like God Hand and RE4 because it treats the camera as a true part of the gameplay. It considers what can typically be a clumsy and over-looked downside to gaming in three dimensions.
It was a while.
Top fucking stuff mate in any case, see you soon I hope.
Great game, i completed it back in the PS2 days and still one of my favorite games from the PS2.
Nicely done. I'm convinced :) I may try this game.
Super well written video, the transitions were also great!
"back when I made videos"
god damn
God Hand is a masterpiece, so sad many people dont know this game, nice editing with the video, glad to know there's people like you that love this game.
Happy Anniversary to the best God Hand video out there
This video’s been out what like 2 months now and I think I’ve watched it at least 100 times now. Seriously great video Turbo!
Getting to level DIE in this game was the biggest case of imposter syndrome I've ever experienced in gaming. No way am I this good, chil out game, give me a chance! But the longer you can tough it out, the more rewardiing it becomes - this game has the most rewarding difficulty scaling of any game ever made. It just feels good to be good at it.
me when I saw turbo button post: "clicks harder than an arthritic dolphin masseuse".
