There's just something funny seeing Hikiko being forced to pay even more money to The Good Life.

In another reality, your $9.99 still exists. Unfortunately, in this reality, your $9.99 was murdered

Swery implying there will be more DLC sounds like a threat

Someone had to tell the people. Thank you for your service.

I understand what you've been through and respect your service... but... ... my dude you've gatta cover every piece of DLC that comes out for this game, I'll pay for it, it's too funny.

Hands down the best coverage I've seen of this game. Especially as a backer, I'm glad you let your grievances known in a way that covers all of this game's issues cleanly.

In an alternate reality, SWERY keeps his ego in check and has some self-awareness. Unfortunately, we don't live in that reality. That's the true meaning of my comment.

Between this game and Deadly Premonition 2 (not to mention his aparently arrogance in some Twitter posts), I don't think Swery can recover the faith his fanbase had in him.

Yeah, there is absolutely no way Hikiko is out of Mr. Swery's wild ride.

10:39 "The The treasure is buried near the..." The quality testing was clearly rigorous

Thanks for taking one for the team.

This reminds me of that time Michael Gross from Tremors said "I was denied, CRITICAL, need to know, information.". Remember that movie? Fred ward wasn't in the third one.

It's such a bummer how Swery went from being one of my favorite developers to this. I used to blindly throw money at his projects and suggest his games to others. Like yourself, I convinced friends to kickstart Good Life (oops). But now, I can't help but roll my eyes whenever I see his name. He's so hostile on social media and tries to turn legitimate criticisms of his games into a meme with his "darkside swery" persona. On the flip side, I am always happy to see your videos! I love watching this channel. Good video as always :)

I've never seen Hikiko so furious in a video before. It's upsetting to see a creator you adore fall from grace after becoming so full of himself. I'm sad to admit that a lot of my favorite game designers went that route.

Honestly your videos on this game are incredible. Really hope you cover all the DLC. The DLC may be bad, but your coverage of it is great. You are the AVGN of this game ;).

Thanks for another upload king. Insane that this DLC was even released.

based hikiko, paying 10 bucks so we don't have to

You can't give up now. No way. We are waiting for you when the next dlc comes out. :)

I hate hate HATE how much SWERY has squandered all that good faith I had in him. Just stomped on it. Maybe that’s me being parasocial, but I used to really like his stuff and himself but I just see he’s a jabroni. Still stings.

In a fucked up way the DLC feels like a behind the scenes of what could’ve been

A few random fetch quests and some retconned story. Seems about right...

Sounds like some Molyneux trickery. Actually, the worst part is not undelivered promises (or crazy levels of grind), but Swery having an attitude to blame people for pointing that out. Sorry for your shattered hopes

The oblivion horse armor was better DLC.

The DLC mostly confirms what I already knew about the game. At some point SWERY had an idea to make a game that was a subversive Twin Peaks, as in "what if I made a Twin Peaks styled town but there were no stakes and everything weird about it only amounted to the main character getting annoyed?". It's an interesting premise for sure, and I know a lot of surrealist comedy that does just that, but the whole point was always to make the protagonist annoyed, not the viewer/player. And even if annoying the player was part of the point, I don't think the trouble of plowing-through the RPG life sim aspects of it were worth it for something that, at best, is straight-to-DVD material. If I bought it like any other game, I would be disappointed but I would move on. But the fact that I backed this because I was promised a very different game truly hurts. The DLC just widens the wound.

I'm starting to think that SWERY was never a good game developer

I need my Hikiko coffee review asap

When you didn't buy the starbucks coffee instead

robot Francis York Morgan is too smart for us

YES! Video breaking down bad content My absolute favorite kinda video Ty hiko Also lol @ $10dlc for $30 game that has no new assets

I bought Good Life at launch but stopped playing because of the incessant white screen flashing like every 10 seconds on the PS4 version. Good to see I didn't miss much.

Your suffering was our enjoyment, Hikiko. Thank you for the video!

I’ve been watching you for years and this video is the one I come back to the most. I love that you stick it to hack auteurs like swery when they do shit like this.

Hoooly crap. Swery’s decent into the gutter is now complete. Wow. Thanks for your service!

Thanks for the video and keep it up! You're my favorite KZfaqr:)

Hikkiko has reached his breaking point

Goddamit I had hopes. When will I learn?

Man i knew something felt off about this game. Thanks for explaining it in a way i couldn't.

It is like he is trying to make the worst game possible.

These AI voices are nuts but the presidential memes are hilarious. I gotta say that AI Francis Scott Morgan doesn't sound that much different to the real thing.

I had this game on my list for the longest time but something just didn't quite feel right about it. Had no idea it was done by the Deadly Premonition Guy (Which I love those games). I am truly thankful for your coverage because it confirmed the fears I had about the game and now I can move on now knowing to avoid it.

The twist is literally the excuse/world setting in the Fate/Tsukihime games word for word, which is ironically not a secret or spoiler. It's the first thing anyone tells you

The G🐾d Life

Since when is there tax on digital purchases? Is that an American thing or am I just out of touch with console gaming? Wow, that DLC looks like a big fuck you for even playing it, let alone buying it. Every day I'm happy that I didn't back the Kickstarter or ever bought the game. In SWERYs defense though, I did pay close to 10 bucks for a coffee at Starbucks a few years ago when I was visiting the capital of Switzerland.

Playing through both Deadly Premonition 2 and The Good Life back-to-back to me revealed that maybe Swery is a one-trick pony (with people like Jim S. Sterling going as far as to say that they regret giving Deadly Preminition a 10/10 back in 2010 just to be a contrarian), and if DP1 and D4 had actual strokes of genius it was probably thanks to Access Games seeing how White Owls seem to be even more technically incompetent than them

Actually, they do introduce 2 new characters... and you are forced to murder them within the questline in which you met them in, and they are never mentioned again. I mean they probably did reuse the models, but I never saw this model before, probably because there is never a point in going into the neighboring town.

I was expecting this since the revelation of the dlc

Thank you for enduring the suffering and saving my money. I'm ordering a starbucks in your name.

Not even kidding - I played this through on gamepass and then, a year later, bought the game and DLC (on sale because even I wouldn't pay full price for this) and as someone born and raised in the British countryside...I find this game so funny, despite its frustrating gameplay loop. But having seen what was actually PROMISED to backers? Yeah, I'd be pissed as hell too. That game looked really good. I'd have loved to see it released.

Assuming this is on the E-shop. I have seen a " lootbox " simulator on there.

Woah. The 50 cans you get is just a big middle finger. It takes 50 just to make one!!. Why not just fix the game to not make it a chore to do running around an empty way too big map

Great video like always bro keep it up

Hope Hotel Barcelona be better...

You petty much made me not want to try this game.

It's basically an English countryside prank after 1 and half year wait, but done digitally by a Japanese game Dev at the expense of your 10 USD (minus tax) It's even worse than Peter Molyneux's overbloated premises on Fable 3, but at least Fable 3 does produced and resulted in a product brought by actual English (and British) game developer studio

I can genuinely hear the pain in your narration 😭

Holy dissapointment. Hilarious review

I enjoyed The Good Life (probably because I didn't hear about the kickstarter until it was closed and basically approached the game like SWERY's take on a sort of Animal Crossing/Harvest Moon kinda thing), but the DLC definitely struck me as odd, so I didn't buy it. Good to know my instincts were right.

Turns out Swery is 50 today. Happy Birthday Swery

Now i would LOVE to play this DLC. Unfortunately i cant. I am stuck with the game breaking bug after Route C of the main game. Which they didnt bother to fix even with update 3.1. Lots of people stuck there on reddit. So yeah this game unfortunately is unplayable kusoge.

i did not even played or bought the good life and i still feel ripped

A made a comment defending it, but decided to delete after watching the whole video. Making the promise that a secret will be revealed if someone grind hours of his life in a paid dlc, just for then to not deliver on that feels like a kick in the balls.

Swery used to be the man

My favorite program returns!

The Good Life sounds insanely complicated lol😅

Wow and I just watched the first video last week

So much grind in this game - like f2p game with microtransactions.

Unfortunately it seems that most of what he had released after he went indie (except the Missing) is broken, unfinished and unsatisfying. Let's hope that the partnership with Suda 51 won't go up in flames and that he will be in the control of Hotel Barcelona

I'm awake, I wish I where dead, soooo uhh F U for keeping me alive, I love your vids bb!!

LETS GOOOOOOO

I think Elizabeth just wants to date Naomi so she leads her on a wild goose chase just get with her

You sound a little like the Ice King from Adventure time 👍

More like The Not So Good DLC *dabs*

I remember seeing that tweet when he first posted it. Instantly made me lose loads of respect for him. What a horrible thing to say to people who crowdfunded almost 600k for your game.

Swery really is a one-and-a-half hit wonder. Awful lad.

I like your cat

hmm, hopefully the KZfaq views generate $11... I just had an idea after hearing York Mogan's voice intro... what if someone used a program to train AI using audio samples from Deadly Premonition of York Morgan's voice to create an AI voice that says whatever you want?

yo Hikiko, I've tried playing Deadly Premonition like 3 times now and each time I get a few hours in before putting the game down. is the game meant to be explored a shitload or should I just be focusing on the main story for the beginning?

"Think four-dimensionally and you can truly appreciate The Good Life experience." Lol nah I'm good gonna go play a good game instead bye. This game completely flew under my radar so I had to go back and watch the first video. What a *wild* ride. Condolences for going through all of this, but you undoubtably made a more interesting and fun piece of content than whatever this "game" is and that is coming from someone who chases achievements/trophies and can put up with a lot of bullshit in games.

Kinda glad swery never completed D4, it might've ended up like this?

I would have told Swery, that he should update his games for free because he has a conscience and takes pride in his work. Or does he? People like ConceredApe still update their games way after they were released free of charge. Stuff like that improves both your reputation as well as keeping the game in people's head, which increases sales. I would have understood if they had to remove features and content to just finish the project on budget. He could also admit that he screwed up or ran out of ideas - something of the like. Could have fixed the bad word of mouth. Transparency goes a long way, but seeing him take the dishonest approach so many times only goes to show he just gave in to arrogance and cynicism.

Fuck yeah hyped for more dlc,🖤 just finished the dlc and...yeah i kindaa like this game played it on switch,🔥

Swery has become Japanese Rian Johnson.

Amazing honestly never expected anyone to cover this game and its dogshit qualities beyond Zero Punctuation. Still love it though.

Ok.

mmm my good man I enjoy your videos , you are hilarious abd informative. Your special attention to this man Sweary is fascinating. But I wonder if your "love" for him is ironic I mean....I seen you enjoying the theater burn around him...and that's is no appreciation( not a loving one at least). Do you really want him to succeed ? or just enjoy the literal shitfest around him (we all live a good scandal no shame there plus he kinda put himself in this....hilarious situations).

whatever happened to when you talked about things you like?

Sounds more like.... "The Bad Life"! .....yep, yep it sure does..

Got chills from that intro

A SWERY FILE!!!!!

I'm not sure which is more galling, the increasing cases of companies selling incomplete games and expecting you to buy DLC later for closure, or this game suggesting it's doing that and completely failing at it.

Anyone that uses Only Fans wastes $10 for far less.

Did she say 'hellhole' a lot in the DLC too? I demand the DLC be as obnoxious and unfunny as the core game.
