GAME SINS | Everything Wrong With Astral Chain 

"This is the sort of uniform I expect to see in the Brazzers Police Department" 💯😂😂

He did the anime villain glasses touch ofc he is going to be a villain

2:09 as a twin sibling myself, I can confirm that synced-up choreography just comes with being twins.

compared to other youtube creators, i feel like dart is one of the most diligent ones. just thinking about playing a game, review the whole gameplay, write a script, cut the content, record a voice over and edit the material, two, three times a month... thats much effort to appreciate.

"what's the point of living without this thing I've only known about for a day" apparently this game is made of memes because that's just literally the Brooklyn 99 meme.

Astrail chain aka Every anime cliche ever: The videogame!

This game is proof that gameplay is more important than story. I predicted who the villain was the moment he was on screen but the gameplay kicked so much ass that I ended up enjoying it anyway

I agree, there is no reason why playable Akira shouldn't be able to speak, it kinda breaks the immersion instead of adding to it

How do people not realize that Akira could stab Yoseph because he was also part of the Astral Plane?!

I'm fine with silent protagonists, but this was one game that just made everything seem tone deaf.

No sin for the twin you pick suddenly being able to talk during the ending?

I know Astral Chain is just anime refrences: the game, but the game is really fun. Also the biggest sin is that the unlockable Lappy Suit costume is only available in the post games.

While you’re sinning Switch games, would you consider sinning Fire Emblem: Three Houses?

6:30 _BONUS SIN!_ Marie's Lappy "costume" has only one zipper that starts at the base of the the tail and stops far to short of the crotch to be practical for getting in and out of. The only fursuits with that design are LITERAL fetish gear.

The fact that Akira dies but then is brought back via one of his own clones is not as creepy as it is depressing. It would also feel odd because it would feel like you are not talking to the same person except you are, if you talked to the clone that took his place.

"Why didn't Akira Fuse with her legion when Jena Stabbed her" You mean why they didn't fuse with legion they didn't have? "Why was Jena trying to kill the Twins if that would cause the fusion" She knew about Yosephs plan to WINRAR everyone, not the method for Regular Legion fusion. If she knew that, then Yoseph would have already known it and completed his plan ages ago. "Yoseph then dies because reasons" Yeah it's not like Akira because intangible because of the fusion in the same way as Yoseph did. Its just Image Layering Akira and Yoseph were on the Same Layer. "Jena has no reason to trap Police officers in the mall" I'm sure Killing all the remaining members of neuron that had experience with legions enough to see Chimeras Permanently would never be beneficial to her Plans after getting rid of the Leigion production. "They immediately forget that Chimeras aren't Visible to people without legions" It's pretty clear that Neuron has methods to get around Chimera cloaking, as they clearly see it when making the sword Legion. Plus IRIS is also a thing that only the Neuron has which can see redmatter that regular people can't fully see. IRIS or special lenses are also why HAL can see Chimeras "They don't even call out the ethics of enslaving them" They ain't people, and they're killing everyone- Fuck em. "Why didn't Yoseph make clones of the Stronger twin" Despite all the touting of Eva comparison, is didn't occur to you that the clones began production after Akira was stabbed and put in the very obviously Rei clone tube, giving Yoseph the excuse to test on one of the twins while having the other collect legions. "Jenas plan was to stop Yoseph by killing him but also involved Unleashing monsters on innocent civilians which served no purpose other than making her look worse" No, The Homonculi were made to increase the Redshift and corruption of the astral plane so that it would "Archive" the rest of humanity as human beings instead of the Collective conciseness Legion that Yoseph was going to make. Killing everyone was just par for the course of Jena's plan. Jena gave up on the current humanity, Yoseph wanted to evolve and the twins want to slowly improve the status quo. Also yes I know Satire and all that jazz, doesn't make my point less valid. I'm surprised you didn't mention how, as soon as Jena transformed and became able to fly, instead of taking the 2 seconds it would have been to kill the MC and go after Yoseph, she left you alive for actually no reason. There's also how Yoseph introduces the ARK as though he didn't build the thing himself "to this island we call the Ark" No you you called it that when you were told to build an ark.

When Akira was Mortally wounded in the Mall by Jena, he didn't have the Arrow Legion with him, hence why he didn't fuse with it.

Mascot costumes are commonplace in Japan. And yes. Even in police stations among adults. So yeah. Sin on you for not doing your research.

Am I the only one that thinks that, despite the ass shots, the characterization of Akira (as in, not the character you control) seems like it fits a female better? Talking in the context of anime-stereotypes

17:50 because akira didn't have a legion at that time

17:52 Well, maybe because he did not have his Legionis at that time? I don't know, you tell me

Also, Yoseph is so conceited that he even bases the power of the Legions on his name (C-scale) Yoseph *C*alvert scale.

Most accurate and relatable commentary yet. Keep it up Dar!!

A theory that I had for the ending is that maybe the akira clone at the end that’s the original and every Akira in the raven outfit was a clone including the one we kill

1:15 Are you sure about that? Some people have different tastes, after all)

17:52 Small nicpick here tgat kinda bugs me. The reason why Akira didn't was because at that time he didn't have a legion.

At the beginning you mentioned a buch of inspiration from other things I’m surprised no mention of the game Shin Megami Tensei IV as your Akira (a samurai who used a special power to save Tokyo from nukes) reborn and you enslave monsters to fight the same monsters from a device on your wrist

Dead Space 2 mostly cause I hope to see someone call out why no one realizes how the markers are zombie making machines not endless energy and a good religion to fellow

Was literally at work a couple hours ago thinking "damn I wish Dart would drop a new video." Come home and he did. I love you man.

When I first booted up the game. I made a joke with my friend about Yoseph turning out to be evil. Then to our shock and amusement we learned my joke was on point. XD

Great vid my guy, you are awesome

Holy shit, this is the first time ever that youtube notifications worked for me, Imma remember it was on one of your videos Dart :D

17:53 PRET-ty sure Akira didn't have a Legion back at Ark Mall...

Astral Chain : really good gameplay Mediocre story

I piggybacked this game straight off of Three Houses. I saw Max and read him as "less badass Geralt."

Its likely Max was told he needs spare Legatus for the new recruits. Just not told who they were and seemingly for good reason. He's an over protective 'martyrDAD'. The Beast Legion CAN track specific scents but they are still police officers. It's called covering your bases. There's absolutely no reason for them all to be huddled up together even if they had a "sure fire" method of track chimeras with Murphy's law and all that. The worst thing about that situation is they sent two rookies with limited experience in Neuron together instead of partnering up with a senior officer. The Astral plane does have enough oxygen in it. All of the matter there is just broken down material from Earth. It'd make sense that over time there'd be enough breathable air. Hal never confirms he can see chimeras. He knows of their existence. Also Chimeras have that weird hollywood version of invisibility (cloaking aura). You can probably see traces or an outline. Even in your investigations people are able to describe 'something' that they can't quite see but know is around. Akira can't fuse with a Legion he doesn't have : / (at the time he was stabbed by Jena) Jena doesn't want you just learn to truth. She wanted you to seek it out. How would she know - trusting you - that you would give it to the right people instead of just handing it over to Yoseph. Yoseph likely was just really really interested in what you could do on your own. Though it was obvious he could just clone you as the stronger twin he had never seen or conceived that a Legionis could control multiple Legions. Additionally he saw from the get go you were able to achieve a sync rate that high. If any Akira just presented an opportunity to put the experiments in action. In other words he was the control. You were the test.

Great video as always.

Akira didn't merge during the first fatal stabbing because they didn't have a legion at the time

It's been too long since a Resident Evil sins video

No sins removed for Kyle or Marie/Lappy? Boo. BOOOOO. Also, I find it a bit odd that you didn't sin the fact that Yoseph's call with the three prophets/seekers never gets mentioned again, along with the trio themselves. That's either bad storytelling or bad sequel baiting. Also, to make one more correction, the reason Akira can stab Yoseph near the end is that he's in the Astral Plane at the moment as well. Everything else, though? Still an awesome video. And I know we have a LOT of people who finally want Dead Space 2...but dammit, I can't resist Code Veronica, so my vote goes towards it.

The intros is what I look forward to...don’t ask why.

IM A LURKER IN YOUR STREAMS DART BUT YOUR CHAT IS TOO NICE. NEED SOMR TOXICITY IN MY LIFE. ( thanks dart love your content)

Sins or not, Astral Chain is still one of the best games on Switch, and for me a Goty contender 👍🏻

Regarding radio being jammed and the drone still working; jamming only works by sending excessive signals on certain frequencies. You'd have to jam every single long range frequency to affect the drone (though the idea that the drone was operating on a non-standard frequency is... unlikely at best).

the jojo voice clip right at the end got me

You know, I agree with basically everything he says, and I know the story is kinda cheesy and cliche, but I still love the game, ngl

Love the content you put out! Dead space 2 next but don’t forget about ffx!

I had such high hopes for this game, I wasn't exactly disappointed but I wasn't thrilled either.

Gotta go get some food before I sit down and watch this

It REALLY annoys me how both characters have voiced lines but whoever you choice is mute...

All this Anime stuff yet still no one Shouting out their attacks(as the name of it) like "Long Quick-Time-Event that's really easy as you just press two buttons & have a energy drink with the free hand and think which game mods could make the game sexier........Hamy-Hamy-HAHAAAAAAAAAA!"

This is my fav game sins.

These kinds of videos are perfect for when someone doesn't want to buy a game. Have a good one.

To be honest, I want to play Astral Chain, because it looks fun, but I really wish there is more to the story. There are both too many holes and too many predictable outcomes. Someone pls remake this soon!

I know this game is for the switch but I'm really interested in wanting to play it

Dead Space 2 please. Also great vid. I love Platinum Games.

This game was great. I picked it up and expected to enjoy it based off of the trailers and I liked the studio. After the first mission, I was liking it but not particularly impressed and was afraid of being let down. But after a few more missions, I was in. The ball was really rolling at this point and I was having a blast with this game. It only got better from there. Once I was able to merge with my legion, I hit another high with this game. That high was only slightly dampened when I reached what I expected to be the final boss which was the “heart” of the giant Ark Chimera. I still had fun but was let down by this lackluster final boss. But then when Prime showed up and proceeded to kick my ass all across the battlefield, that was the moment I fell in love with this game and totally forgot my original plan of giving it one play through and trading it in for something better. This game is awesome. I’ll be going to this and kicking ass for a long time.

damn, i play and really love the game, i see some problem you see too, but, I LAUGHT SO HARD with all the problem you seen , thanks x'D

Prepare for trouble, and make it double

good vid as always, what's up with final fantasy X tho

19:23 They decided on Evangelion when Yoseph talked with the knock off SEELE monitors about becoming gods Chief

Ooh... Sin Code Veronica. Sin it HARD!!

The Jena taking a shower was 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭

2:10 I blame an Ark sponsored Sentai series! XD

Never watched evergalion *or how your write it* and i could tell he was a bad guy xD still enjoyed the heck out of the game xD

One thing I will never understand is why when ever a game comes out and it gives people the choice of being male or female 90 to 99% of the time youtubers or let's players pick female characters it took me weeks to find a let's play of this game were someone was using the male character and I still can't find a video for all the costumes for the male character anywhere on RU-vid only the female one shows up even when I spesificly type the male character and I can't play the game myself because I am to poor to be able to buy a Nintendo switch or the game

Seeker of Wealth: "YOSEPH! We just got a bill for a several hundred metres high monitor. Don´t tell me you´re using this to talk to us! Ever heard of Discord you asshole?" *Reverse Ding-Sound*

HOW did you come to the conclusion that Hal was the previous Hermit leader?

This is indeed one of the most anime games ever made. And I didn't cringe as much, which is a surprise

I mean, some of the earlier sins DO get explained away. But the reality being that to sin all these games means that Dart has to PLAY them. And committing hours to playing a game, recording it, and posting it leaves me feeling sympathetic. I realize that this isn't an hour or so movie and the time commitment is a thing soo... is ok! Thank you Dart!

The game lets normal people see chimera because they are being redshifted when that happens and you become corrupt, you can at some point see the chimeraa

Pokemon Sw/Sh sinned is something I never thought I wanted.

FRRRR there should be def be voice acting for both twins

Thought the game was an anime adaptation but nope. Still looks pretty cool.

@dartigan As much as I love Resident Evil, I love Dead Space just slightly more. But I know you. You won't play Dead Space 2. So, I'll quietly look forward to RE:CV then.

Nice jojo references

They went from games with mostly over-the-top to games with more dark philosophical tone since Nier: Automata

Wait, Hal was the leader of the Hermits? How did I miss this? Hal is my favorite character in the whole game and I didn’t know about that

I don't believe Nietzsche said we would become a god.

You can't fool me Bulma and Popola

Dead Space 2 sounds like a fun idea.

Those things on the arm look like duel disks

Me @ 00:36 " Wooh he brought up Jojo's" video automatically gets a like idk how uninspired that joke was 😁

This game is my guilty pleasure XD. I vote for Code Veronica

Awesome vid as always but the captions are fucking with my OCD and I can't find any way to turn them off. 😕

This reminds me of Code Geass and Warframe

The crunchyroll reference at around the minute mark made me laugh af

RE: Code Veronica

Yes!!!! Metal Gear reference ✌️

It always repeat as reality at games words everything can repeat

The amount of fetishes in this game this video points out is just minimal. Even status effects in the gameplay are a "Japan" fetish. This is a Platinum game after all. What kind of kinky hell we will endure if Vanillaware and PG engage in a collab effort.

the number of sins is here the telephone number to call the police coincidence ?I THINK NOT!

Took me a year to get the courage to finish this game, man talk about Evangelion the Video Game the Movie the Anime the Netflix adaptation

Jojo Meme #1: *NANI??*

Resident Evil: Code Veronica

I knew the villain was the second I saw his hair.

Daddy uploaded ;)

The length of this video is 20:19, niiiiiiiiice.

Code veronica, pls I love the game. Code Veronica.

Wow and I was looking forward to this game it reminded me of xenoblade chronicles 2
