gameranx: “Astral Chain - Before you buy”
*_Bold of you to assume I haven’t already bought it_*
Indeed
The moment it released
Picked it up on my lunch break
That's italics.
Bold of you to assume I didn’t pre order it
This game: 2078
Cyberpunk: 2077
Something tells me this century's 70s are gonna be rad as hell
Rad is a good game too
@@servantofthemosthigh2525 if you like Rogue likes.
Oscar Leonardo actually climate collapse and inevitable resource wars
@@Wolffanghurricane Lmao true, I guess they'll be rad(iated) instead?
Too bad imma be old as heck
“After you buy”
Why you guys keep mistaking the title
I think they mean before YOU buy (you always yolo for example). So they give you the chance to know stuff about the game to let you decide if you are really interested, before you buy. At least is what I understood.
@@fabrizioangiolella8754 Really dude...?
Ok we get it you have the game, shut up already.
@@MultiRv90 I reckon dude
Fabrizio Angiolella sorry bro, ya got r/wooshed
Bought this after a night out drinking, im basically here for reassurance at this point.
kriscross 😂😂
was it good
_Lucky. I brought NSMB Deluxe after a night out, worst £50 I spent_
Sounds irresponsible making purchases under the influence and trying to take responsibility after, lol our society 🤔😅
😂 I swear to god I got a pack of games intoxicated thinking it was a good idea at the time... this was one of them 🤦♂️
CD Projekt Red: we’re making a new game, we’re calling it Cyberpunk 2077. It will probably be out in 2019.
Platinum, in 2019: here’s a cyberpunk game set in 2078.
Sunwalker Edaaga lmao
¡BezzyBee! Yeah, so mature and dignified lol.
lol, is it really set in 2078? Shots fired!
Wow really? ...huh
Daniel: 2077

"there are times of intense melodrama, and times of intensively absurd silliness"
well, that's why I love anime games
Agreed
I love how as I started reading this comment it was at the same point in the video. S as he’s saying these words I was reading them XD
@@Cap0verkil me too! XD
That’s why I love anime and anime games though astral chain is my second anime game I haven’t really dip my toes into them too much but I love anime and I have three missions left in astral chain and so far I’m loving it
You guys should try play Sakuna too.
Before you buy.
Me; playing it now
Hahaha original
Haha same I love the speaking vending machines
is it good and worth it?
same here lol

First fire emblem and now this. Good summer for the switch so far.
Dragon Quest XI S, Link's Awakening and Daemon X Machina coming in a couple of weeks. 2019 has been an incredible year for the Switch so far
It's a summer/fall that is going to be hard to keep up with. Only got to the time jump in FE... it's amazing.
@@zuko9085 one of the best games on switch
Marvel Ultimate Allaince 3, Super Mario Maker 2
Switch won 2019 frfr 🏆
This game looks like if Psycho-Pass had a baby with Neon Genesis Evangelion and I okay with that.
Sveta45851 get in the psycho pass shinji!
so you're saying it looks like a generic scifi anime
this game is honestly a hidden gem, idk why people dont talk about it more
Its because most of Platinums hardcore audience dont play this game and therefore dont post amazing gameplay of it like we do all of platinums other games.
We are mostly on the other consoles/PC. Which is why Bayonetta 1, vanquish, nier automata etc still get new gameplay/combo videos every month
I just got done playing it again, I havent played it for about 2 years. I played the whole way through in just a few days, combat is awesome
@@n8doggy733 its amazing!
Same thing happened with Sakuna. Game truly hidden gem but nobody talk about it.
SO many games that I own yet sadly that’s why
He is so excited when he says it's a Japanese game

"Between the size and the Red Matter, I think we can say this isn't a human handprint."
Detective work at its finest. Conan Doyle is crying in his grave.👌
I mean how would they figure out a giant handprint the size of a man outlined in glowing radioactive matter from another dimension wasn't made by a human without proper investigation? **cough**
(not really a spoiler)True but you will see what made that print later on down the line and its not what you think it is.
@@PepperKatLancer Whaaaaaaa
PepperKat right **cough cough**
Well we know it's kind of obvious but you have to state these things because in an investigation every detail is important.
Absolutely loving this game. My first Switch title. After 10 hours in, I'm still gripped by the story and game mechanics just as I was at the beginning, if not more. Definitely a must have.
Damn it Nintendo! Don’t you know I have bills to pay?
Same I say, needs to do overtime get a part time job and a new job lol
They just don’t give a shit man 😩
Switch is the most expensive console to own, most games are full price and never drop. My $3500 pc is cheaper, after buying it I've spent zero :)
@@oasisbeyond got both a Switch and a PC.
I travel a lot by train everyday to go to my university so the Switch is just fantastic for me.
There are regular sales in the eshop and I know where to get cheap games so I couldn't be happier.
+ There are the exclusivities. Zelda, Mario, Xenoblade, etc...
I don't want to emulate because on my pc I prefer playing either mutliplayer or AAA games on ultra since I can't do that on Switch.
Don't worry man. You can still play it in handheld mode if you become homeless
Overwhelmingly beautiful, many games on consoles or PCs with advanced postprocessing and lighting techniques are behind this game, proving that true art and talent transcend them.
AND IT WORKS ON SWITCH
That moment when your character’s dodge turns into a *DODGE* along with a some updated combat did it for me. I really love that your character just sucks complete ass at first.
I made my character black not realizing it would obviously make my sister the same, leading to us having a white dad. I think mom might have some explaining to do, neither of us have his eyes yo!.
The twins were adopted so it doesn't truly break the immersion haha
I mean there’s a black woman crushing on dad harder than those chains.
Pfft omg 😂😂😂
The twins are adopted...
@@nexusgiga she's Hispanic lol
Bro who needs Cyberpunk 2077 when you have Astral Chain 😎
After playing the first Bayonetta when it first came out and neither hearing or seeing anyone talk about it or even care, it is nice to see Platinum games has become a well known niche studio. People know what they are getting with a Platinum game, and when one is released it is exciting.
I loved this game so much I started speedrunning the game after casual playthrough ... at a cool 50 hours in the game so far and have loved every minute of it
I finally got this today. Popped it in my Switch and........ _it didn't require an update patch!_
Wow. That's different.
Me waking up at 5 AM. Seeing this Vid at my notification.
*checks clock what time store's open*
or you could by it digitally ;)
@@adad87821 i prefer physical copies. not a fan of digital since it holds no value for me. Nintendo is known for shutting down stores every console generation
To chain or not to chain that is the question.
Not to chain after over chaining is the answer
Two Chainz or not Two Chainz
@@Tebixo that sounds like a fucking problem
I felt the same way at the beginning of the game. once you go on your first mission with your legion that's when the game starts to open up. Would also recommend checking every area before you move on.
50 bucks at walmart if u can find it.
Homosexuality?
Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully I'll be able to get it next time pay day rolls around. 😁
I rather pay the full amount. Slightly more money to Nintendo so they can make more of these 9/10 games
$40 if you work there and have a discount.
Boo-Ya
Jayman493 not working at Walmart... priceless.
Jokes on you... I already bought it.
Vincent Lloyd yeah but do you like the game?
@@danreyes736 the game is game of the year
@@danreyes736 fucking adore it. I highlyyy Highly recommend any switch user to at least try it.
Vincent Lloyd so did I
@@danreyes736 SMASH! that money at the front desk and take the game! Id say...
I think if the 2 player mode supported actual controllers instead of the mini ones and the legions could attack on command, it'd be one of my favourite games
I love the art style of Astral chain. Too bad I dont have a switch. But those Nintendo executives are top notch
Exclusives*
SpiceYourLife why not both
I was starting to get let down by this game after the first few hours but then things really started to open up and varied in the combat and after you unlock the really cool abilities around mid game, it becomes a really awesome experience that made me enjoy it SO much more. I’ll be going back to this game every now and then for a long time.
"Before you buy" Acting like anything Platinum releases wont be bought instantly by me
u have the tmnt game that was shit and the transformers game was a watered down bayonetta...so yes, not all that platinum games make is pure gold..some are silver....
Legend of korra says hi too lol
@@legendaryoutcast4440 Bold of you to assume that it had potential, the game was bas as the show.
@@EpicLebaneseNerd what do you expect that's Movies / TV to games adaptation there always crap.
@@EpicLebaneseNerd true, i loved metal gear rising the most. It has its flawes and very short, still my favortie platnium game. Too much hype
0:56 Ooooooh that explains why the shop menus look so familiar
Top tip:
I don't think the game makes this clear enough. Doing the maintainance thing on your legions where you shoot off the pink crystals to clean it is ACTUALLY helpful in combat. The more you clean it, the better it performs in battle and if it gets too corrupted it can suffer actual stat decreases like decreased power and decreased attack speed.
So definitely clean up your legions regularly
Been playing this game the past few days, it's awesome. Would recommend.
this doesnt need to be a video, just buy it.
@@CrolyGiart Glad im not the only one who was iffy on Nier. The game isn't terrible but it is not what everyone was raving about. The combat and enemies can get confusing at times and the UI was absolute garbage. Having to open a the menu everytime I wanted to use an item? I could barely find my objective on the map. There's some other stuff that really bugged me but I can't remember any of it. The game at least has a good story and nice characters so that'll probably drive me to finishing the story.
@@poptarttss actually you can use item without open the "menu"
true
They make games for everyone but not every game is for everyone.
@@CrolyGiart same with me and hades apeverybidy. Said it was the best game ever but I hated it. I really likes this game to
I am quite pleased to hear Falcon gushing, and enjoying a game like so. It's why I like Gameranx, in general, because its people are true gamers and convey information in a way that alligns to their thoughts, whilst welcoming dissent and open discourse of all gaming matters. Keep it coming peeps!
1. I fell in love 5 minutes in.
2. Platinum Games is my number one favorite developer. I will buy every game they release blindly until they disappoint me.
3. We chose the same hair style! Mine's on the lady though.
**Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well** ;)
Same here
Platinum Games are my 2nd favoruite developer
1st is Nintendo
Glad Both developer works together many times
So you made a Karen
Did you buy babylon's fall?
2:30
So, i can have a stand?
SIGN ME IN
Several stands.
Literally what I'm thinking and trying to restrain myself from just coping it instantly....
A JOJO SWITCH GAME
The arm legion actually does the ora ora ora
I’m in file 7 currently and have been loving this game. Hoping to finish it in the next week or so.
how did you play this game with a controller or the joy-cons?
I dont own a switch ...but I love the support for my bois PG .....they always gave us GREATNESS since VanQuish and Bayonetta
I’ve never been more excited to play this game
Never noticed Falcon was the JRPG guy until I finally got into them at the age of 35 and started watching all the JRPG videos.
Plan on finally getting a switch this year picking this game up too.
I prefer Falcon, tho I did not know he did all the Japanese games....was a fun take on it.
I just bought the game and I’ve been loving it a lot
Once more I ask is there a point where I the PLAYER control my stands every attack ?
Facebook kept showing me this ad and gave me interest and hype for it, I'm getting it soon.
I already brought the game before watching.. it freaking good.
The bombs In fallout fell in 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is set in 2077
And this is set in 2078
LIKE WTF IS GOING ON?!
future projections
Okay but the bombs would have to fall before Fallout 76. So it doesn’t take place in 2076.
LukeJS we have a crazy future ahead of us
@@cassianpicaro jeesus let's hope not as MENTAL as any of these games
@@2yoyoyo1Unplugged what do you mean?
You didn’t mention the Djenty soundtrack, love it
I like the shop at the beginning,it reminds me of purchasing food in 'River City Ransom for the original 'Nintendo I love that game. But here it's so updated ofc. I would definitely buy this game if I had a 'Switch.
I'm on File 07 already and damn this game is FAN TAS TIC.
I just picked up this game and star Wars Jedi and I'm having a blast with both of them!
Still good after a month?
I don’t know this genre really well but the graphics and the plot makes me want to play
Getting this along with my Lite Switch on Sep 20th. Can’t wait!
The first game I didn't buy while watching this,I'm going to wait a bit I took advantage of the Mario/Rabbids gold edition game for $26 yesterday
Hmm. Well it came like almost 2 years ago so makes sense plus the game isnt as popular as the other forst party titles. I can see that game bundled to other games for $75 in some areas.
@@vivid8979 Yeah I brought it before when I got my switch early 2018 & didn't like it I decided to give it a 2nd chance & it's a good game
Skywalker Lion rabbids is great. Very underrated game for switch imo. One of my favorites. Astral chain is incredible too though.
Kinda looks like a cyberpunk scalebound. Im down with this.
Picked up the last copy at my local game store. Super stoked to jump in!!
This game is soooooooo good! Just finished file 09 and that fight felt ripped out of Bayonetta. It was more intense than most final boss fights, including Platinum Final bosses
The One video that will seal the deal between my credit card and this game.
Nah dude, it’s platinum. They already had my money.
what I love about your reviews compared to some mainstream outlets is that you have clearly played the game. Really good detail.
I've just watched the IGN review and I was barely any more informed about the game.
Thanks for the info! Was definitely walking the mine on whether or not I should buy this now, and I think Falcon convinced me to give it a go!!
Glad your audio issues have been fixed!!!
This game is AMAZING purchased a switch just for this game
This game is like chaos legion in the future nice 👍
In a world of basketball themed casino games, I welcome this breath of fresh air.
I played through the game 3 times. I played other hack and slash games before my 3rd play through. When I got to, it felt slow ( Probably because the character is always walking and you have to press something to run which is not connected to the dodge button) and I felt like there was some kind of delay with the commands every time I switch to a legion or attack (or I'm doing it to fast)
The game is a blast, but the saves and files (chapters) managing could be less annoying.
My greatest endorsement is that I am playing the game twice now I'm up to file 8 (again)
@@haruhisuzumiya6650 I'll take a few weeks to catch up to you. College sure is tough.
@@henriquemarques4903 likely be playing daemon x machina by then,

I hope you all have a nice day
the best part about this game is your third legion when you equip him like literly you can wear him you can combo into an ora or aora move if that isn't a jojo reference idk what is
Interesting. Reminds me a bit of Chaos Legion from PS2 days. This game looks great.. the Switch may win me over yet!
Astral Chain need a Xenoblade DLC summon or skin for the legion
Hey Falcon! Finally, I've been watching my favourite CZcams channels for the past couple days to see if they posted a review of Astral Chain yet. I bought the game upon release and fell in love with it in the first 20 minutes as well and I was wondering "Come on, guys, where are you? Why aren't you prasing the game to high heavens like it deserves?" And there you are :) Thank you, beautiful video, and it's really an amazing game, everyone! ;)
You guys have the best gaming channel I love the content even if I don’t like all the games you show I enjoy the content 🔥
I still want this game. Both my friend and I. And we have Switches. So yea, I'm angry I dont have this yet. But thanks for the video. Hopefully I get this soon.
Game of the year and favourite game on switch to date.
Really???
@@OtakuJok3r17 What would beat it?
@@lawthirtyfour2953 Luigis mansion 3. Just my opinion
People said botw was the best game ever but I found it short and underwhelming I wonder how it got goty
So I am kinda sceptical about this game
The only games that people praised and it actually deserved it were hollow knight and Witcher 3
@@shadbud9198 if I may ask, how did botw feel short?
This was the first game I got for my Nintendo switch, and I have not regretted the purchase. I sincerely hope there is a part two to this game. I haven't beaten it yet but it's just been amazing overall.
Glad to hear newcomers enjoying the game. You HAVE to do yourself a favor at read through forums and videos of the crazy combo potential that Astral Chain has. It’s insane and on top of an already great combat gameplay, the soundtrack is just icing on the cake.
@@maroXUprising I'll have to do that I'm just trying to enjoy the story for now. It has not disappointed
@@darkscorpionomega I see, enjoy it to the full extent, story is overall not bad, others criticize it too much, but it does the job well.
What’s the case file you are currently at? If you don’t mind me asking.
@@maroXUprising I'm currently on File 05 Accord
@@darkscorpionomega ahh, pretty good lead into the game. well wouldn’t want to spoil anything in particular but if your interested in the whole lore.
You should be given some exposition in around case file 6 or so. You’ll need to input 4* digit code, to unlock special files. (The key to get the code is using IRIS on your twin.) pretty sure at that point you should have a specific upgrade with your IRIS that’ll allow you to see more information of people. If you don’t have that specific upgrade after getting a “rank up” to your officer title, you’ll be given a second chance to read through the lore files later on.
Glad to see Falcon found a game he can really sink his talons into.
This legion that you are talking about is reminding me to a certain manga with the same concept
Never played Nier but this games looks like a mix of bayoneta and xenoblade 2
Can't wait to buy it
I kind of tuned out your voice and was blindingly staring at the screen. My brain thought this was a mobile game ad and was waiting for the skip button 🤣
DeathLotus lmao. His voice is very easy to tune out so makes sense.
To be honest, I did in fact tune out his voice twice now. My brain just refuses to acknowledge him.
MasterKcoop lol yeah man its partly cause of the way he talks. He doesnt much energy or fluctuations in his rythym or volume. Borderline monotone.
Honestly falcon, you are the best! Keep going 👍 I really like your videos
This game is phenomenal!!!! It's soooo let's say jumpy, exciting, and pure gold!!!!
My only complaint about this game : Mother freaking file 8 mini games make me wanna smash my TV. Worst chapter that actually turned me off quite a bit, then the final boss happened and I have forgiven all the flaws !
I couldn’t do the picture quest cause it glitched out :(
Man I neeeed to pick up a switch I hope they have a decent price cut for black friday
Just get the lite it’s 200
Same
Yeah I have this game and was surprised how good in turned out to be.
This game is phenomenal, I just picked it up and it has been a sleeper hit for me!
I’m definitely going to pick this game up at some point very soon, this review has just confirmed that for me. The story looks very interesting and the mechanics of the game intrigues me.
Have fun!
I hoped you picked it, was hooked and time flies when your playing it ;)

I've been gaming a long time. And the min I saw that I turned 16 again
Police with stands on chains. My favorite RPG
I bought this game and i already finished all the files, and mannnn it’s a great game, some websites were giving bad reviews about the game not being challenging enough or being too short but i said to myself “its a police officer with a stand” and it took me 20 hours to finish but godamn the best 20 hours i’ve had in a while for sure.
The bad reviews at the time were salty Sony Ponies review bombing it bcuz it wasn't released on the normiestation. The countless and pointless negative reviews were removed lol
Do a before you buy for daemon x machina and borderlands 3 next.
make no mistake the controls are a bit confusing cause one button summons another button un summons one controls your legion one activat's its Trait and the other makes your character fight its all on the shoulder buttons mostly during heated battled I have accidentally preformed moves I did not want to cause I forgot what buttons did what .
and when you get the beast Legion summon it and press activate button wile close to it for something I was not expecting . Your welcome!
I already have the game on my Switch and I just need to boot it up at this point.
And I don't think I can't get any more hyped than I already am.
Sounds like this game is off the chain.
What does that mean though?
