So I've Been Playing: KILLER 7 [ Review PS2 ]

[@WinstonHofler]

This game is probably the closest we’ll get to a David Lynch meets Takashi Miike film. It clearly takes inspiration from both directors and their style but does it in its own way. Suda51 is easily one of the best video game auteurs of this generation

[@SimnaibnSind]

Its so nice that you really like one of my favorite games. You'll be happy to know that all loadscreen and framerate issues in this game are solved by simply playing the Gamecube version.

[@lemonov3031]

For anyone wondering what's the best way to play: avoid the PS2 version. PC version is the best, but GC is also good

[@angrytacos5497]

This video was made 4 years before a pc version existed...

[@lemonov3031]

@@angrytacos5497 So? I just added an update for anyone watching now and wanting to play the game.

[@frozec8568]

The PC version being the best one? thats rare lol. Ill check it out

the pc version has some graphical issues on my machine what werent in the gc version and the gc version has more visual coherence, but nowdays is the pc version the easiest way to play definitely. its a pity that it wasnt ported to other platforms. it would look good beside no more heroes 1-2-3, tsa and the silver case 2425... also i hope that the upcoming flower sun rain remaster/remake will come to more platforms than k7...

[@toceeno874]

what about the wii version

[@BreakDowning]

Truly the definition of a cult classic, loved this game so much and played it over and over again because there's almost nothing else quite like it. Thanks for the great review! "The name's Andrei Ulmeyda, I am the man with the plan!"

[@CommissionerC]

The closest comparison out of film would be Takashi Miike, who has been mentioned by Suda (as a whole cameo even, if I remember correctly) in No more heroes 2.

[@BB0ysGames]

Miike is a shitty director tho, SUDA51 is much better in terms of storytelling.

[@Nekucloud]

Killer 7 is beautifully bizarre and ripe with artistic creativity, it's definitely my favorite Suda 51 game out of all his games!😁👍

[@hasi706]

this story is Very Good, however I feel like it is a bit unfourtnate that some of the smiths like kaede, coyote, con, and kevin aren't given as much screentime as dan, garcian, and harman

[@VZed]

For rlz, Killer 7 is on my top ten games of all time. Last time i did a count it was number 3. Not sure it it's still that high, but still, this game is amazing.

[@thorhighheels]

VZedshows I can totally see that! I mean, I only just played it for the first time, and I already hold the game in pretty high regard. It'll kinda depend on what I think of the game a few years from now, but I can totally see this appearing on my top ten favorite games list. And if not, then it'll definitely be on my top ten PS2 games.

Susie (the head) is my waifu.

[@paulharris1109]

love susie

[@michaelangst6078]

Most underrated game of all time.. The Russian roulette scene with him saying i will let you on a secret on how to hit on women with 100% success, and saying women are all the same and blasting himself was too fucking ahead of it's time... the storyline and characters are fucking brilliant. no more heroes and the killer is dead are not even close to this games quality.... it's a shame relly.

[@eandjproductions2]

Play Flower Sun and Rain immediately. It's very similar to Killer7, tone and story wise.

[@thorhighheels]

+eandjproductions2 I have not too long ago, and I reviewed it as well! :)

[@Tentacle]

Suda is my fav game developer and director, so don't disappoint me son.

[@teneesh3376]

First time playing the game, I find it terrifying. It's so unsettling and strange. It's not supposed scary, but the way the charcters talk and thr sound design freaks me out.

[@stephensmith7327]

Just so you know, Lolipop Chainsaw is not a Suda game. He stopped directing after No More Heroes 1 and only began again in Travis strikes again.

[@JoeyintheAM]

Elegant Petal is my favorite track from that game and I loved that you chose that as the backing track for most of this vid. Also, Travis is a right lad. XD

[@unitedunitedunited_]

the issues with the frame rate and loading times are completely solved on the PC version of the game.

[@gfhrtshergheghegewgewgew1730]

wow i never knew how bad the framestuttering on the ps2 version is, the framerate doesn't shit itself like that in the gamecube original

[@Justin-Theobald]

I first played the ported ps2 version. The GameCube version is the best as the frame rate is better for shooting and improved visual graphics which where missing in the ps2 port.

[@wdcain1]

I put so many hours into this game back in the day. I loved it though I admit the hotel and school levels are way too difficult. I had to cheese the game by exploiting Kevin's invisibility skill and spam Mask's explosion attacks. Despite this, I still had a blast with the game.

[@shizuwolf]

Check out Let It Die. You could probably play a drinking game with the references to his earlier games.

[@daniellemullen5035]

Thor High Heels sounds hilarious when singing about sounding more American.

[@greenhowie]

This game really blew my mind back in high school. Nothing Suda51 has made since has come close... BONUS FACT : I was listening to the radio while playing this originally. I had just got to the Ayane Blackburn boss (literally on the cutscene beforehand) when the DJ goes "and here's the new single from Kasabian!!" It was called Shoot The Runner. I'm the King and she's my Queen, Bitch.

[@thorhighheels]

yo that's a good ass song

[@demounit]

I bought this game the day it came out on the gamecube. amazing.

[@crunchberries]

I'm glad you're reviewing these thought provoking types of games, they are my favourite reviews of yours. I've got only the fondest memories with this game and I love hearing your thoughts on this one. Looking forward to your lollipop chainsaw review!

[@sambeckettcat]

Just gonna say, I loved P.N.03 when it came out.

[@IOUAK9]

Master! We're in a tight spot...

[@KaysAnimus]

I'm sure the comments here are already awash with this same sentiment (haven't scrolled not going to)... but uh... Thor... My Guy... The gamecube Ver. It might be redundant - well no, fuck that, it WOULD be redundant - to see a video on that version, stacked up to the PS2 port - and even then, maybe stacked-up-stacked-up against the now existing Steam port - to culminate in one grand ever-loving stack-fuck. Even so, it'd be pretty cool to see. The Cube version is a good bit leaner; Those ugly load times, stutters, and even the kinda washed out color depth of the PS2 version, pales noticeably in compare to the OG, and having a Steam edition out there so more people can experience this great, for cheap, without having to hook up the old consoles to the old glowy box, is also nice. So yeah. Like this comment for comprehensive Killer 7 version comparison a la' Thor?

[@KrayonGames]

The dude at 5:05 in the red outfit looks like Scorpio from Farscape.....that is if Scorpio wore a red outfit. Awesome video man, I just heard of this game an hour ago and thought I'd see what it was about, then I see that you'd done a video on it, so I thought I'd give it a watch. It almost seems ahead of it's time, in it's style and gameplay. If I ever have time I may play this one :-)

[@ultimate_oikawa]

Thank God there is a very good steam port of this otherwise I wouldn't play one of the best games in my life, btw there is killer sale right now as of Sept 12.

[@yissmaster]

favorite youtube personality lol

[@Justin-Theobald]

"In the name of Harmen."

[@HeadsetHistorian]

This game always made me shockingly moist.

[@Joyless]

Goddamn you! every time I watch one of your videos I have to buy the game >_< I literately have no money left.

[@ukeyaoitrash2618]

If it's a ps2 game, I just go to emuparadise/coolrom/doperom/loveroms etc every time! I still have money left ^_^

[@adevilscupoftea]

@@ukeyaoitrash2618 Emuparadise is dead now btw though there's a workaround

[@MrMallard19]

I was trying to place your accent. I guess it's Dutch. Nothing else to say, really. I like your reviews.

[@thorhighheels]

Yeah it is. Glad you enjoy my videos!

[@jktwice8235]

If you want to play this game today: Pay $40-$80 for a discs-only to complete copy of killer7 on the GameCube Or Pay $20 for a PC Steam Key The PS2 version is complete ass. It looks like a PS1 game, as you can see in the footage here. It may be cheaper but it’s definitely not the best solution, especially considering the PC port is a thing.

[@finalninju6021]

I love killer7 but I'm shit at it. So I've just been making baby steps of progress XD

[@Aringtorulethemall]

AWWW, this is so cute compared to your new videos on the channel

[@LucyGooseyLicious]

Looks cool! I think see videos about it from time to time but always forget about it coz it's so different from other video games that my memory doesn't have anything familiar to anchor my understanding of it. Thanks for the video! Looks like the gamecube version is 3 times the price, so I wonder if it is worth that much to get that superior version (pc gaming isn't for me)...

[@Sonyboj]

Game is out on Steam now! store.steampowered.com/app/868520/killer7/

[@drcatjailofficial3735]

The best line in anything ever is "Tricks are for kids, Kun" i laughed so fucking hard

[@BadWisdom523]

I like the way the gimp who babbles hints to you has had his Ring Modulated.

[@Nov-5062]

NP.03 is my favorite PACPOM game

[@MemeLordCthulhu]

This guy really played the worst possible port of killer7 and still enjoyed it

[@psxcsomething6114]

Welp now I gotta buy this game since its on steam instead of emulating it

[@lilybergamo]

wow the ps2 version really fucked up the framerate

[@mamba5445]

you should definitivly try out Killer Is Dead and Lollipop Chainsaw as they are IMO the best Suda games. Shadow of The Damned is ok but gets a bit boring cuz of repetitive gameplay. It has a cool style though and has great humor. (Dick jokes for everybody!)

[@thorhighheels]

mamba5445 I will! I'll be reviewing Lollipop Chainsaw next week, and I've already bought Killer Is Dead and No More Heroes. So I'll probably play and review those soon as well.

[@kalaherty]

Odd question on an old video and I dunno if you'll read this, but have you looked into game design since the video?

[@thorhighheels]

A little bit. In between doing KZbin and making music it's hard to find the time. But I do still mean to get into it properly one day.

[@QuantumTelephone]

Were in a tight spot

[@yermm]

I think the frame rates dropped like twice when I played it on GameCube, the game cube has a way better port

[@StarLord66X]

cant believe Nintendo actually allowed this on their console, I guess at one time they were wanting mature titles for their console.

[@BadWisdom523]

That’s one seriously modulated-ring there on the tips voice...

[@jblazerndrowzy]

Uploaded 7 years ago…

[@SGVB22]

if garcian is the reviver isnt harmon alive during that? who's corpse is he reviving?

[@yrin865]

Great game but replaying in bloodbath difficulty and in ps2 was a downside

[@doctorcragmire7299]

You mind reviewing Rise of the Kasai as well?

[@kirbyc9042]

2 girls one cup

[@CommunistJugular]

PC version WOOT!

[@benrod-1321]

First off you played it wrong get it on GameCube second hope it was fun

[@Alan_Smithee_Productions]

Hustle

[@nightlysalvation5692]

GameCube has better graphics

[@brianboniuk1072]

For those of you out there wanting to play this great piece of history, get either the Gamecube or PC versions, ps2 is by far the worst version of the 3 available.

[@PerrydactylShow]

I missed this game when it came out, and it feels like something that I'll perpetually skip. Something about the gameplay turns me off. Super hard. I highly recommend No More Heroes if you want some more Suda51!

[@PerrydactylShow]

ALSO LOLLIPOP CHAINSAW IS HYPE AS FUCK.

[@thorhighheels]

***** I know what you mean man. I felt the same way about the gameplay for the longest time. It only really made sense to me when I actually started playing it. But even then I can totally it not resonating with everyone. Shit's weird

[@nunyabusiness9056]

Wow this game looked like absolute ass on ps2
