Given that most of the staff's other games are all horror titles, the comparisons to powerlessness in that genre are distinctly apt.

@Hunti_3D

If the protagonist is named Kat and accompanied by a cat, it's already a wonderful start^^

It may sound stupid, but the first thing that came to my mind when you started talking about intentional disempowerment were the Athletic Levels from Super Mario Sunshine. You rely on Fludd so much that you feel like a clueless baby the first time you get it taken from you. With each instance of such a level, you get more and more used to the clunky controls and more precise maneuvering you have to deal with until you eventually see Fludd more as an extension of your actual abilities or a safety net than a necessity. Or at least some players do, the majority, me included, probably had a hard time all the way through.
But it's interesting game design nonetheless, especially if it's done with core gamemplay mechanics like in Sunshine or Gravity Rush.

Never heard about the game before btw, but it looks pretty cool! Even from just watching the video footage you can see how "unnatural" the controls probably are. And the world design sometimes reminds me of Lovecraft's Dreamworlds. Should keep this one in mind if I want to buy something new :D

@gesundheit9532

the analysis of the personal immersion with Kat is pretty neat, never thought of such stuff much.

@mattheusaquino2260

Man I had a PS Vita and it was such a good game for that platform! I really liked it.

@jay-the-jaymer

Your channel fucking rules dude. I wish you a thousand algorithmic blessings.

@InventingThings

I love gravity rush so much!
I actually never thought about the feelings of helplessness when those moments occurred of no powers.
You make really valid points
And I'll be sure to keep an eye on if they do anything similar during my first play through of gravity rush 2

@space_raven98

I've only watched 4 of your vids and I'm amazed how you're numbers aren't as high as some other people I watch who do the same type of vids you do. I know numbers are a pretty shallow thing to begin with but you seriously deserve more attention :) 

just from watching this and the Yonder vid has made me want to buy them both! And your vid for FF has made me want to buy some of the better ones just so I can experience them before watching your (eventual) analysis on them.

I know this will only be a YouTube comment but if anything, you're the first person on this platform who's Patreon link I've actually gone and clicked. Props to you man :) look forward to your future work. 

Sincerely, one of your (many more to come) new subs <3

Oh man, I love gravity rush, I'd been looking forward to this. Just like Gravity Rush, this channel is a hidden gem!

@beancheesedip8337

I know this wasn't really the point of the video, but Kat is genuinely one of my favorite characters. No, she's not particularly deep, but she's endearingly upbeat about almost everything and wears her emotions on her sleeve. She, in a way, reminds me a lot of Goku, a character that is almost unflappably cheerful, taking everything in stride. She's so much fun to watch and play as.

@BigMastah79

The more I think about it, Gravity Rush is basically one giant “the indomitable human spirit vs the cruel indifference of the universe” kind of deal.

The entire world of gravity rush is slowly getting eaten away by relentless monsters and a swirling abyss, and the moments of joy and peace we experience are very temporary. The lives of everyone in hekseville are constantly in danger of ending with just one single misstep or trip into the bottomless abyss below, 
However, Kat and the people of the world persevere. The children in boutoume resist impossible odds, Kat defies everything the world throws against her, and she still has enough joy and kindness to share with everyone. 

Ik this isn’t about Gravity Rush 2, but it really exemplifies this with Kat sacrificing herself, and still fucking returning to the city??? Like HELL YEAH I LOVE THE POWER OF LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP

@RoachsFilmReel

Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for making it. Look forward to seeing more of your content.

@thanatoss11

It's very interesting Kat in Playstation all stars battle royale this theme put in his game, when in his history mode his reason to fight with the others characters like Kratos, Nathan Drake, Parappa, etc... His for more power, because she needs him for turning capable for control his Powers and make more useful, but in sometime when she turn face with his rival Emmet Graves (Starhawk), in a dialogue specific he cuestión Kat's reason for get more power from Polygon man (the final BOSS), he says the posible consequences for get more power when she's not get the entire control of his power make him dangerous, in that moment Kat thinks about his reason for continúe cuestión for herself, i know this moment is not cannon in gravity rush universe (or maybe because that dialogue in GOW Ragnarok), but it's interesting that moment with the speak theme of this vídeo, greetings i probé my english in case i write something wrong XD, nice vídeo dude.

@Boiyager

Extremely well done video. Great work!

@stuartz3118

There's a small detail that I love in Gravity Rush, which is Kat's ''superhero landing''. It's TERRIBLE, she basically faceplant the floor I love it.

@aHeroWith1000Names

Great talk, can't wait for more videos! :)

@lewa3910

@SticktheFigure

Oh hell yes, I can always do with more videos on Gravity Rush.

@yuiskyi

Yay! Gravity Rush getting some recognition! I’ve never played the first game, but Gravity Rush 2 is freaking amazing and I’m glad I discovered it.

@lucenildofilho5710
