I didn’t like it, myself. I played through to the end and found it incredibly tedious for what you got out of the story, which was basically just a tale about a macguffin in the ocean with sea monsters. The biggest complaint was how painful they made navigating the memory scenes. Every time you want to do anything, you first gotta backtrack all over the ship and you gotta wait through these intro and outro cutscenes and music, and it got old very fast for me. I also got tired of the entire gimmick about 25% in, as there is no variation to the puzzles in the game, they are all set up the same—try to identify people based on surroundings and descriptions, 60+ times. The art direction was really impressive at first, but quickly became dull to me around the time the gimmick started the wear thin.

Tl;dr: it’s admittedly a very creative take on a mystery game, but unfortunately playing through to the end is tedious and lacks needed QoL features.

Isn’t he Jesus in that movie? Is jesus immortal? Tbh i dunno i don’t believe in magic

Okay, you got me! Hi-fi Rush is a masterpiece of perfection, the others that upvoted my OP are definitely wrong too, and any criticism ever considered by a player is just incorrect, because a lot of people loved it, and things a lot of people love are always perfect.

So sorry for the confusion! Have a good weekend!

Just because things are highly beloved does not mean they aren’t flawed and couldn’t use improvements. Starfield has an 83 on metacritic. Life is Strange an 85. As of right now, only 190 people are playing Hi Fi Rush on Steam. 204 are currently playing Bayonetta, for comparison. I never said the game was a trainwreck or totally unenjoyable, i said i believed it could have been even better if they paid attention to criticisms that put off the people who didn’t enjoy it.

Edit: also just looking at the percentages on the global steam achievements and most people do not even see the ending for a 9 hour game. The achievement for beating it on normal difficulty is …16%.

I’m glad you liked it, but the two camps are definitely “this game is a masterpiece” and “this game combat is overbloated and feels sloppy”. Just check the negative steam reviews, they eco similar sentiments to each other

Ya!!! The prequel to nier ❤️

This game was only good for 4-5 hours, imo. Hi-fi rush was a refreshing concept that attracted attention because it stood out in a sea of similar looking titles that the mainstream has become. But they didn’t follow through on the player feedback for such a creative leap in gameplay. It really shows when they start piling on new gameplay mechanics, and combat stops being fun and becomes a mess of awkward controls and spazzy cameras and frustrating vertically-aligned jumping.

No idea why you got downvoted for being so right, the guy makes schlock

Drakengard comes to mind

Are you pretty consumercentric, or do you have some niche interests as well? Google is great at basic tasks and delivering product results and promoted content, and if that’s what you’re usually looking for it probably works great for you. People have trouble these days trying to find the specific stuff. Google used to really excel at this in the past, but now it’s buried under pages of promoted content or pages SEO gamed to the top but not being very helpful

He died in hs. I was in college. It was years later. Thanks for saying I’m basically retarded or a straight up terrible human because of a short post on the internet about Facebook.

You are the reason i left Facebook. I’ll just block you here on lemmy.

Deleted my Facebook in my freshman year of college in 2006 because a terrible person from my hs died from a drug overdose. I posted something like “death is sad but he was not a good person and i won’t miss him” and got jumped on by a bunch of people i already thought were annoying, so i said “fuck this whole website”. It was still when you needed to be in a school to join.

It’s been a crazy ride all these years watching all the terrible things that Facebook does, and people just keep using it. Helped elect trump. Steals and launders art. Takes advantage of all your data. Fosters terrorism and crimes. Just a huge shit hole. “but it has its own built in craigslist!” 🙄😒

My 300$ earbuds can play two sources at once. But an uncompressed signal? Fuck yourself.

They are laundering the creative works of humans. That’s it. The end. They are laundering machines for art. They should be treated and legislated as such.

I stupid. Is there somewhere that says everything this does?

The paramount+ app doesn’t even know how to properly hide the pause icon after you hit resume ffs. It’s been months.

Sounds like the photographic equivalent of doping

Iunno, man. If you ask me, they’re just laundering emotions. Not producing any new or interesting feelings. There is no empathy, it’s only a mirror. But I hope you and your AI live a long happy life together.

Well said. “Art launderers” is the best ai descriptor I’ve come across so far.

I absolutely can. Parody is an art form, which is something that can exclusively only be created by human beings. AI is an art laundering service. Not an artist.

The law should reflect that these companies need to be first granted permission to use datasets by the rights holders, and creative commons licenses need to be given an opportunity to opt out of being crawled for these datasets. Anything else is wrong. Machines are not humans. Creative common copyright law was not written with the concept of machines being “consumers”. These companies took advantage of the sudden emergence of these models and the delay of law in holding their hunger for data in check. They need to be held accountable for their theft.
