Hi-Fi Rush's Platinum Was An Unexpected Challenge!

[@macromadstyle5664]

Matt you did an amazing job, this video is such an instant classic man. I can feel the love and effort you put into this and I truly wish this takes off eventually. I want you to know even if this video didn't perform as well as you expected you're a million views in my heart. My personal favorite parts were: 6:18 "Animu Matt" 8:45 "Inner voice" 12:15 "RIP S rank" 17:51 "Guides not guiding very well" 33:25 "Chai would be proud" 35:20 "The onetap of 30 minutes gone" 37:51 "Zanzo impersonation" 38:16 "LEGENDARY MATT RAGE MOMENT (MY FAVORITE)" 51:33 "So was it worth it?"

[@GawdlikeMatt]

Thanks man, a comment this nice makes me feel better about the amount of effort that went into this video. Means a lot dood

[@Wolfqueen007]

Great video. Finally got around to watching, and you didn't disappoint. This game doesn't look like one that I would personally enjoy, but I can tell you did, and the love for it shines through anytime you talk about it. I can definitely appreciate the game for what it does. It definitely looks unique and one of a kind

1:42 Personal opinion here! I actually really like when games want you to S Rank every difficulty (as long as ofc the hardest difficulty feels achievable). The way I see it, the devs want to see how well you can style whether the enemies die slow or die fast, and also want you to start S Ranking at a lower difficulty so you can practice there first and rise up as you get better. As someone who loves playing games, this also extends the replay period of the game which lets me familiarize myself with the system. This is how I've felt ever since I first decided to sit down and 100% DMC5. DMC5 is one of my favorite games, but the majority of my enjoyment honestly came from me learning to master it from top to bottom, from Human to DMD. And ditto, Hi Fi Rush. I'm not in a, heh, rush to stop playing. I want to take my sweet time with the games I love. Edit: I also feel like new players might be disheartened if they're only rewarded for S Ranking the hardest difficulty. If you reward them for an Easy S Rank with an achievement, that's good! That encourages them to try Normal... and then Hard... and before you know it... they're a Rhythm Master. I'm gonna be honest. A lot of games I 100%'d, *including* Hi Fi Rush, I didn't think I would at first. It was getting other S Rank achievements that encouraged me to keep going up. I can already tell a counterargument of "your S Rank achievement on the hardest can retroactively be handed out to the ones below"... but... no. That would feel so unearned in my opinion. I want the S Rank achievements to be obtained because I played at that level and proved it directly. It feels more real that way. If I did not do an Easy S Rank run... I just didn't. I skipped it. And it remains skipped until I do it for real.

[@GawdlikeMatt]

Despite feeling the way I do on the subject you did a good job making me think about it in a different way. See for me if it's a trophy I don't need the encouragement to build confidence and attempt the higher difficulty. If it's a trophy then I'm attempting it either way so there is no "building confidence" phase for me, it's just an inevitability. It's easy for me to forget that some people really value that confidence boost to eventually attempt these kinds of things especially if they're intimidated. I'll try to remember this in the future, well done vocalizing your thoughts in a civilized way 👏

[@romxilda]

Matt these livestreams were the BEST and I’m so excited to watch the full video, keep being awesome!

[@SlegiarDryke]

Fun fact with rhythm master, you gain a little style from timing your dashes around, so it's a way to keep bolstering your meter when there's not as many enemies. Also never underestimate peppermint for her gun doing an easy lot of combos. There's all sorts of little tricks to help ^^

[@DarthSanguis]

I’m so glad that you decided to check out Hi-Fi Rush, it was amazing to watch your livestream going for the platinum. Big congratulations with the platinum Matt!!!

[@rnelson1415]

This is actually a big help in my ongoing achievement hunt. I'm not going to get every achievement but I adore this game so I want to go for some extras 🙌🏾

[@Thwal]

This video made me go back to hi fi rush after not liking it when it first came out. Now it's my favorite game of all time and im working towards 100% competition. Thank you for reintroducing me to one the greatest games ive ever played ❤

[@GawdlikeMatt]

@@Thwal very happy you gave it another chance

[@AlisterSigma94]

Man This game looks amazing cant wait to play it, thanks you for another amazing vid keep up the good work, also Congrats on the high Fi rush platy

[@lynx4082]

Heads up for anyone trying this, turning streamer mode on is faster to reset than going back to the main menu, tho as someone who prefers the proper sound track I always have to toggle it twice

[@BobbyBoozerPSN]

Loved following the journey live with you. Great vid, Matt!

[@Dogma846]

Hi matt just wanted to thank you for being a awesome guy I love 100% games and I get demotivated but you always raise my spirit and even helped me get the 100% for dmc5 so thank you for being THE god gamer

[@GawdlikeMatt]

It was and always is my pleasure. Congrats on DMC5 and here's to many more!

[@sxechaos]

Matt I just want to say you you suck and you are 100% not awesome. Now that my satire has been planted congrats on another banger of a platinum homie keep up the grind bud! :)

[@yourstruly1060]

Found your channel recently and really like the way you are narrating your trophy hunting! Haven't played Hi-Fi Rush myself, but definitely plan on doing so as soon as I can. What made me interested in the game personally is exactly that Rhythm Master difficulty, because it reminds me of an extremely difficult PS4 game called "Crypt of the Necrodancer" where rhythm and moving to the beat of the game is everything. Game is a bit old, but if you ever feel up for the challenge check it out!

[@jeffreycastro5838]

I respect and love your dedication to getting this game, which I bet it took a while. I would continue watching your videos and streams.

[@sauceyvirg1n910]

Picked this game in early December 2023 cause I needed to treat myself after going through a mentally exhausting period in my life and this was a breath of fresh air. I never intended to go for 100% but ended up doing it because I loved it so much I wanted to keep playing it. Funnily it got easier for me the closer I got to 100% like it was inevitable lol

[@GawdlikeMatt]

I can very much relate, glad this game was good enough to push you to 100%

[@superdaltonricke7tts534]

I was glad to join one of the live streams of this game glad to join Matt in his live streams and seeing everyone else glad to be talking to you on your live stream Matt

[@gamerd8709]

glad to chill with you in the streams my dude, well done 🎉🎉

[@Aronami_Jeirou]

Masterpiece of a video game. Masterpiece of a video. Congrats on the plat matt.

[@Duality2222-2]

RIP Tango studio. You were unjustly shut down because of Microsofts incompetency.

[@thebiggestgarlic1194]

All the top studio heads left, and none of the games in their entire catalog ever sold well. Their shutdown was completely justified.

I'll be going back to catch up with the livestreams after watching this! Great video Matt!

The Artful Escape made me feel that same way at the end of the game Matt

I really enjoyed playing this game (played on PC). Loved every single detail. Was just one run to complete the story...

[@gabbyj16]

[@andreortegabernal537]

He’s finally back! Being on the livestreams during the whole journey was amazing, I’m gonna miss this game a lot.

[@noahcennerilli7975]

Holy shit you conquered this game! Amazing video as always, i also hope this gets a sequel some day, i'll never forgive microsoft for killing the studio

[@unboundmaze5690]

honestly I have always hated using guides because a lot of them nowadays are vague as hell

[@GawdlikeMatt]

Sad but true

[@danielferrieri7434]

Hi Fi Rush was a Masterpiece to me in every way. Minus the fact that I needed to use Cloud Gaming to play it.

[@prodigymuj]

You know what's not a challenge? Watching Matt's videos

[@Starqueen721]

Hell yeah, great vid Matt this game was awesome and being in the livestreams was great, especially since you needed better guide than the ones you were using 😂. Anyways can’t wait for the next vid or stream and the mvp of the streams is proud of you

[@401DMGG]

After a few vids actually i really want to see ur plat journey in "Curse of The Dead Gods". That will be amazing ! 🎉

[@Lambwarrior]

Rip tango :(. I’m not a fan of rhythm games but glad you liked it Matt! Good video

[@PRVRockeyRoad]

such a fun vid for such an awesome game! 808 would be proud! 🏆🏆

[@mikeyb.0121]

Is there any way we can view your trophy list? I understand not wanting your PSN to be public, so would you ever make a video going over your rarest/ hardest/ favourite platinums?

[@GawdlikeMatt]

I would like to make a video about that someday I just havent been willing to set aside the time for it yet. If you're interested in checking it out on your own time my tag is Zanmato-1k

[@frankthetank1741]

Do you want to go and replay the game now?

[@SecretPaints]

It’s literally a 7/10 difficulty not that hard

[@suzuyajuuzou4389]

Okay ?

[@SecretPaints]

My point was aimed at the title, for someone who can do the games Matt can this is hardly a challenge lol.

[@GawdlikeMatt]

@@SecretPaints it's still an above average level challenge and because the game is so good I wanted to cover it. Yes I've done much harder than this but can't I make content on a game I'm passionate about?
