why I HATE Neo - The World Ends with You

Hello, welcome back to a new video game

review. Today I'm playing NEO: World Ends

With You. I think that's what it's called.

So it looks like I'm in Japan again.

Um, why am I wearing these stupid clothes?

I don't know, everyone else looks normal.

Hmm, okay, so I guess we're back in Tokyo

by the looks of it, and I have no idea—

oh, I'm supposed to meet up with Fret.

Outside 104. Looks like I'm in Shibuya.

Oh wow, that's pretty cool actually. So

you can't control the camera, which is a

bit annoying because I'd like to pan the

camera around. Oh look, Japanese girls,

my favorite. So when you move into

different areas, it kind of moves the

camera for you. Oh, that's pretty cool how

the buildings kind of— the perspective

shifts like that. Hmm,

well, let's play a little bit, see what

it's like. Oh, it's that bit outside

Shibuya Station with the dog statue.

Well, I guess since Japan is closed, this

is the best we can get. What does that

say? Oh no,

it's too blurry. I thought it said

something. So yeah, we're in Shibuya.

We'll go to the Scramble Crossing.

Oh, it's pretty cool how they— oh

look, they've even got the Japanese shops,

like the proper brands, like Tsutaya, my

favorite shop. I can't believe Tsutaya is

still in business. Tsutaya is like the

Japanese equivalent of what we had in

England called Blockbuster, where they

sell DVDs and CDs, kind of like HMV.

How are they still in business? That's

crazy. And people keep saying Japan's so

high-tech and advanced. They still use

DVDs and CDs and actual physical discs in

2021. A DVD disc shop can

still stay in business. It's like they're

stuck in the '90s. Oh, look, what's this

shop? Oh, they should have like

convenience stores as well.

Wow, I'm actually getting nostalgic

feelings of when I was in Japan. This is

weird. The power of video games.

Oh look, girls are chatting to me. How do

I talk to them? This is what I'm saying,

they should make a GTA 6 in Tokyo but with

realistic graphics so it looks like this

and but it's like GTA. That'd be so cool.

Why don't they do that?

Reminds me of that other game I reviewed

called, uh,

Report something, Crisis Report, I forgot

now. But this is more like— this kind of

looks like Jet Set Radio with this

cartoony style. Okay, where do I go? I

want to try out the combat system, see if

it's any good. If it's another turn-based

combat system, I'm just gonna Give this

game a 2 out of 10. Not even sorry.

So it's got like a comic book aesthetic.

Hey, Rindragon, hope you're not too tired

for exams. Wow, amazing dialogue.

Press L button outside combat to sift

through his thoughts.

Okay,

don't know what that was.

Who cares? This is a weird camera angle.

Why do these random conversations pop up?

I wonder if I recognize any of this. I

kind of do feel like I recognize it.

Don't know actually. Oh, it's the Shibuya

104 building. I went in there a few times.

Really boring. Nothing in there. It's just

a bunch of clothing. If you like clothing,

you'd probably love it. How do you go in?

Where's this guy called Fret?

The arrows point— oh, here he is.

The voice acting is so cringe. You finally

made it! Oh, I've been waiting

for you.

Listen, I don't know if I can play the

music. Might get in trouble.

You never know with DMCA these days.

Best to be safe. So hard to

make Switch videos. In this room during

the day because it's so bright and the

screen's so reflective. Yeah,

whatever, I don't care about stupid

conversation.

So far I'm not really having much fun,

but I quite enjoyed looking at the sights

of Tokyo. But then, what— why can't I skip

all this stupid dialogue? So he got like

a little badge thing from his friend.

I think this game's like £50. See, this is

the problem with the Switch. The games are

too expensive. I don't want to pay £60 for

Okay, where do we go now? Wait, I need

to pee. Okay, back to the review. So

what's your stomach telling you? It's

telling me hurry up and let me play the

game. I don't want to read all this stupid

stuff. Where am I? Can I get run over by a

car? Oh, you can't even go into the road.

What rubbish.

What's this? The music's

really irritating. You probably can't hear

it, but it basically just goes doo doo doo

doo doo doo doo over and over and over and

over again. This game's pretty boring,

to be honest. I mean, so far I've

just run around a bit and then spammed the

A button trying to skip this stupid

dialogue stuff. Okay, where do we go now?

I do like how it feels like I'm walking

around in Japan. Oh look, Lawson.

That looks like Lawson, but it has 11 on

it. Oh, they've kind of combined Lawson

and 7-Eleven, I guess, so they don't get

sued.

Is there any gameplay? What do I do? This

is like Resident Evil style. Look, camera

keeps switching. I don't know. Where am I

supposed to go? Head to the Scramble

Crossing. Oh,

I gotta go this way. Why am I here then?

Now what? Ah,

this is so boring.

I hate games when it feels like it's

a struggle to actually find any gameplay.

I thought I have to go this way. Oh yeah,

now we're back here.

Why don't they put Jet Set Radio on

Switch? That'd be good. They need some

Dreamcast games on the Switch.

I have no idea what to do.

And these popup dialogues keep making the

minimap go away, then I don't know where

What do I do?

Okay, I've played this for 10 minutes and

I'm really, really bored. So if that

doesn't tell you about what I think of the

game, I don't know what. I give you a— I

give it a 1 out of 10. Load of rubbish.

Didn't even get to any— oh look, is this

Unskippable cutscene, my favorite.

Maybe I can do some fighting. Before I

switch it off.

Oh, what? What just happened?

I don't know what that does. It pauses

it. Why do I want to pause the cutscene?

I want to skip the cutscene, not pause it.

Oh my God.

I think I went in that cafe before.

There's like a Starbucks there.

Come on, just give me some gameplay.

Don't want to watch this.

I feel like I'm watching an anime, not

playing a game. Always let

you— they should always let you skip

cutscenes. I hate when they force you to

watch these.

10 minutes in and still no gameplay.

What a load of rubbish.

Maybe some gameplay.

Gameplay.

Where is the gameplay?

No, this is too long. I can't be bothered.

I give up. Rubbish game. 0 out of 10. Do
