Skip and Mission restart

[Skayla Gunallen]

Game really drags down your end score when you use a continue yet it does not allow you to start a mission over when you get a game over, additionally it does not allow you to skip already seen cut scenes, which can get a bit tedious when your getting your sh1t rocked in a hard mission.

also would be nice to have a retry button for battles, maybe allowing us to unlock this after we first beat the game? Would make getting the achievements easier due to time.

Yea, levels are too big to retry. I wish i could just reset to a checkpoint without losing grade.
And remove continues penalty everywhere except using checkpoints mid boss battles.

Yeah, I really wanna rerun things over and over but the dialog slows it down. First run on a new save, I get it. Not subsequent ones. Skip should be available as at least a pause menu option.

Wow. This topic finally arose from its coma, huh?

In either case, I'm with you folks in the sense that I am very prone to retrying or replaying game sections when I'm not happy with the outcome, and I was pretty annoyed as well that the game didn't present these options during the first playthrough.

That having been said, the game opens up a TOOON after the credits roll. You'll have the option to revisit any stage, and find missed collectibles, and retry some scores. I've said this before: Hi Fi Rush is one of those rare games that treats the first playthrough as a tutorial. It's also literally not possible to max out Chai until after you beat the game. And personally speaking, the game didn't really click with me fully until I was half-way through my Hard Difficulty playthrough.

And in hindsight, I support this design decision. I think it's okay to play through, take your licks (hi, Roquefort), and just enjoy the game as a start-to-end experience. And from there, you can go back and agonize over B rankings and missed power-ups.

Though, it is also worth noting that it's possible to save scam in this game. Hi Fi Rush is very generous with the auto saves, and it will save right before each scored engagement, and after each boss segment. If you don't like how the battle is going, you can hit the Start menu and return to hideout, and then continue the stage, knowing that you can pick up right at the section that was giving you trouble. Save scamming like this is pretty much essential if you're chasing down some of the tougher achievements, like no-damage runs.

Yeah there are some quality of life things that really seem to be missing. If you're trying to get a specific achievement from a boss and you mess it up you basically need to just let it kill you, and even then since there is no way to turn off the boss fight check points you still might not have a chance... There are other problems as well, like how finishing the game on harder difficulty levels doesn't unlock the achievements for the lower difficulties. So you just have to slog through easy mode for no reason...Very inconsiderate design considering the overall quality of the game.

Wasn't responding to you, just the original post.

That's a dumb way to just say "No"

Still, a way to only play specific Choruses would be a nice option. Doing the whole game twice was fine, 3-4 times still fun cause game fun. But 5th time I was getting kinda exhausted, especially with retrying a fight to get S (yes with "return to hideout" thingy)

There is a way to retry from checkpoint its the same way you do it in bayonetta. Also you're supposed to do it in a single run thats the point of it being a mission rather than each fight being a mission.

Literally git gud.
