00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:29,359
It's the Internet. You're busy,
Let's do this. Welcome to the Game

2
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:33,000
Best Deicides Podcast. This is the
podcast where we decide everything about the world

3
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,600
of games, so you never have
to think for yourself. I'm your host

4
00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:39,560
Jeff Grubb with me is mc benaughty. I'm sorry, Nick, you was

5
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,320
saying I was tall. I got
distracted, of course, yeah you are

6
00:00:42,359 --> 00:00:48,479
tall. In today's episode, we
got our Metacritic results and predictions for the

7
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,079
year. So that game that we
played with last quarter, we do it

8
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,920
quarterly. We have the results for
that and then and Indiana Jones is a

9
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,399
first person and everyone's freaking out.
And that's that's it. That's what's happening

10
00:00:59,479 --> 00:01:02,679
right now. But first, Mike, how are you doing. I'm doing

11
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:07,200
good. Yeah, I'm pretty good. I I'm supposed to go to Games

12
00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:11,760
Done Quick tomorrow with my brother's weather
permitting, so I should get to be

13
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:15,640
there for a good part of the
early half of the day is the hope.

14
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:22,760
So that's what I am looking forward
to. But yeah, I'm pretty

15
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:29,799
good. Had fun, had fun
today, had fun yesterday dressing as quantchie.

16
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:34,040
I suppose the mess up thing is
like I want to get back in

17
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,719
there, you know, I'm like
a boxer had a bad round, just

18
00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:42,319
like I was getting so good,
you were so close. Yeah, yeah,

19
00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:44,840
so I want to, like,
I want to go beat that level

20
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,439
very badly. So I almost can't
wait till Wednesday. And I think Dan

21
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,079
thinks the opposite. I think once
you get past that level, I bet

22
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:53,640
it's going to be mostly clear sailing. I honestly have no idea, no

23
00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:57,640
idea what to expect, and I, like I said I was, I'm

24
00:01:57,719 --> 00:01:59,719
gonna kind of play along with you, but I'm gonna wait till you beat

25
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:01,879
the level before I even try them, just like that. So I don't

26
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,400
want it comes. That's a big
part of it. And then I don't

27
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,360
want to be sitting there like,
well, well this is what I did.

28
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,240
I don't want to do any of
that. So yes, yeah,

29
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,879
so if you actually told me what
you did, I wouldn't mind if you

30
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,639
actually gave me tips, if it
was just you saying well I did this,

31
00:02:16,479 --> 00:02:19,520
yeah, to avoid that too,
yeah, yeah, I don't want

32
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,159
to be a dick about it as
all, especially for that level. You

33
00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:25,039
already know what to do, so
it's not going to be helpful. I

34
00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:29,360
guess my question is, what the
hell do we do about fugion is my

35
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,639
concern right now. But this apartment
just wants to like watch a long play

36
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,840
and just watch what people do a
fusion. But somehow Dan will claim I

37
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:40,319
broke some rule that doesn't exist,
and I don't know it. Probably Yeah,

38
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,159
just paunch you right in the dick. Huh. Just fly over to

39
00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:50,199
Ohio and just absolutely whack me.
Uh Billy Joels? Okay, sure,

40
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,599
yeah, yes, he loves to
whack you. That's what. That's one

41
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:55,520
thing I do know about Dan by
the first person ever use a Billy Joels

42
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,520
as a phrase for testicles. Listen, the way you said it made it

43
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,240
sound like it must have been done
a lot. I just accepted it.

44
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,439
My bray was just racing. What's
a funny thing for balls? By Jewels?

45
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,759
I say, by Jimmy Johnson's is
what I say. So Philly Joels

46
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,240
is pretty good. Yeah, I
like that a lot. Yeah, I

47
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,120
don't know. It was a busy
day for me, A lot of a

48
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:21,520
lot of giant bomb stuff, kind
of NonStop. We talked over that Xbox

49
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,520
Direct four things today, weren't you. Yeah, it was kind of NonStop.

50
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:28,000
Yeah, I should have had you
do the dump truck for me,

51
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,599
but no, it was It was
fine, it was a good time.

52
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,000
But yeah, I mean busy.
I wish I did. I heard I

53
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,520
watched most of it, but apparently
I missed Jan besmirking the Disney version of

54
00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:44,000
robin Hood, all versions of robin
Hood, but including that one, including

55
00:03:44,039 --> 00:03:46,280
that one, and he even called
that one. He called that one out

56
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:49,719
specifically. I think he said that
he doesn't like he thinks robin Hood is

57
00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:52,599
nerdy, and I agreed, but
I like many of the robin Hood is

58
00:03:52,599 --> 00:03:54,639
a nice boy in that one.
The thing is like, Jen is the

59
00:03:54,680 --> 00:04:00,240
most robin Hood coded definitely right.
Yeah, well he's nerdy, doesn't he

60
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,879
likes cyclops Robino is very psychoed.
Jan, bring me Jan, I got

61
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:15,400
questions, bring me this boy right
now, bring me Jan show up and

62
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:17,639
then nothing happens. It's not like
we actually have people that do these things

63
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:21,600
for us. But it's fun to
say. Probably very busy, Yeah,

64
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:27,199
probably, Jeff. I'm knowing that
all my non white friends don't like Indiana

65
00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:33,240
Jones said. I don't get it, like everyone want to see these takes.

66
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,959
Really, I don't really like idiot
Jones And sure as all my non

67
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,279
white friends like him. Guys,
he's trying to your culture for you and

68
00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:46,800
white people's music. I do get
it. Nikky likes Candy, Christian likes

69
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,000
Cindy. Oh that's good. It's
they're fun movies. But I get it,

70
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,800
and I still do. Hope I
don't. I mean, based on

71
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,240
the trailer we saw and I guess
you know, let's yeah, go ahead.

72
00:04:55,439 --> 00:04:58,560
I bet that The Jones and the
Great Circle is going to be good.

73
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,079
So I think it's gonna be good. And I think it's going to

74
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,519
be very though very by the numbers
for Indiana Jones, which is completely far

75
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:09,120
yeah, completely fun. Well,
you know what, let's get into it.

76
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:11,240

get that at Q and A from
last weekend uploaded tonight. I'm done here,

92
00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:02,759
all right. The big topic of
the week, you know, the

93
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,399
one we're going to talk about,
actually is Xbox Developer Direct. We watched

94
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:10,600
that today. I enjoyed it quite
a bit. A lot of good games

95
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,279
in there, and I think they
did a good job of presenting those games.

96
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,199
I'm excited about a Vowed, which
was I think the first thing they

97
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,160
showed right that is correct, and
I think a Vout had a little bit

98
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:27,399
of something to prove because it had
a pretty weak are very like unnoteworthy showing

99
00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:31,560
at their summer show last year,
right completely overshadowed by Starfield, which it

100
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,079
should have been. I suppose,
right, that was definitely the mission last

101
00:06:35,079 --> 00:06:39,879
time we Starfield, But now it
is about guineas excite for a vowed I

102
00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:44,319
thought this looks good. Yeah,
it's I get why some people are still

103
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,879
like unsure about it, But for
me, I'm like, ah, they

104
00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:48,040
showed more of the stuff that I'm
like, I just needed to see from

105
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,639
Obcitian, Like, no, here's
how the characters are going to interact with

106
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:55,600
one ano another when you're not shooting
magic out of a wand. And then

107
00:06:55,759 --> 00:06:59,680
the wand magic looked pretty fucking sick. I don't know, it looked like

108
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,959
there's just something flair to it that
works for me in a way, Like

109
00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:08,040
I watch Immortals of Avium and I'm
like, that looks stupid. This looks

110
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,439
stupid, and you know, I
bet Mortals of Avium is just fine,

111
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:15,839
but just there's something that clicks here
that doesn't and that taste test that immediate

112
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,879
like oh, I like this as
soon as I'm looking at it. No,

113
00:07:18,079 --> 00:07:20,720
and you know, hey, do
wielding once that's fun or having like

114
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,879
a wand in a flint lock pistol
just the world itself looks really cool.

115
00:07:25,959 --> 00:07:30,319
The monster designs look cool. I
am just so ready to have some kind

116
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:35,160
of Skyrim s game. Right.
We've had a few kind of Fallout likes,

117
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,879
it feels like, but it's been
a long time since we had something

118
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,959
really scratch a bit of that older
scroll, which I know this is going

119
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,639
to be doing its own thing,
but those vibes are definitely there and it

120
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,639
looks pretty I'm excited. Yeah,
and we I mean we know that there's

121
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:51,240
a deeper lore. This is based
on the same world as the Pillars of

122
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,560
Eternity games. That's the one that's
the franchise. Yeah, so it's like

123
00:07:56,519 --> 00:07:59,279
they already have a ton to pull
from. That likely means that they'll have

124
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:03,000
a lot to like dive into if
you so care if to do that.

125
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,920
I don't know how much Obsidian is
interested in the you know, just walk

126
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,199
in that direction and bounce into something
and have fun exploring that. You know.

127
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:16,279
There's a little bit of that in
the the outer worlds, right,

128
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,240
It's just not as much as in
a Pathesta game, no, but there's

129
00:08:20,279 --> 00:08:24,560
a good amount of that in Fall
seventy six. Yes, yeah, and

130
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,000
that's me on my question is what
what's the scale here? Is it more

131
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:33,679
Fallout seventy six or is the scale
much more like the Outer Worlds? Sure?

132
00:08:33,759 --> 00:08:37,360
Sure? Why is why use Fallout
seventy six to the point of comparison?

133
00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:39,919
Well, because I meant to say
fall Out New Vegas. Ah,

134
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,799
okay, I just wanted to make
sure I wasn't. I was confused there

135
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,559
for a second, and now I
understand why Okay, Yeah, all right,

136
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:46,919
My bad, my bad? Yeah, no price, Yes, In

137
00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:48,840
my mind, I was like,
it's a lot of numbered ones, so

138
00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:54,960
seventy six. I'm good. Listen, if they approach anything close to New

139
00:08:56,039 --> 00:08:58,279
Vegas, I think people will be
very, very excited. I bet there

140
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,519
is some amount of that, Like
somewhere between Out of Worlds and New Vegas

141
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,200
is probably correct, and I hope
that's where they are able to land up

142
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,000
with this. And then I think
we got Help blay Too. Next.

143
00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:13,639
I believe Help Blay Too got a
confirmed release date of May twenty first.

144
00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:16,600
In the confirm Becker avowed they said
a fall of twenty twenty four, so

145
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,639
that's coming out this year. So
is Help Blade. Help Blade has a

146
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,080
date May twenty first. I think
you and I both this game's not for

147
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,120
us, you know, I'll try
it maybe maybe Help Blaye two actually is,

148
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,159
but we found out some more details. It is going to be about

149
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,440
eight hours. It's going to be
a fifty dollars game if you were to

150
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,919
buy it and not get it on
game pass. So it sounds like it's

151
00:09:35,919 --> 00:09:41,519
still relatively within that scope of what
Help Blade one was in many ways.

152
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:46,720
So I'm a little bit surprised by
that. But I think I'm only surprised

153
00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:48,440
by that because I think we just
all assumed they would try to go up

154
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,759
to that level of like a God
of War, and they never they never

155
00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:56,039
said anything like that, They never
even suggested it. So I think we

156
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,360
just assumed, and now what I
like, have the hindsight of actually seeing

157
00:09:58,399 --> 00:10:01,840
them confirm that it's gonna be a
lot like Helblaid one. Of course it

158
00:10:01,879 --> 00:10:05,399
is, why wouldn't it be.
Yeah, that is good, I mean

159
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,879
yeah, I think I also just
completely assumed, like, oh, well,

160
00:10:07,919 --> 00:10:11,600
this is the one with the Microsoft's
money, It's going to be bigger

161
00:10:11,639 --> 00:10:13,600
and longer and all this stuff.
But eight hours is right. Even the

162
00:10:13,799 --> 00:10:18,159
even those do God of War games
that I like about like three fourths through

163
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,519
it, I am so ready for
them to get wrapping up, right,

164
00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:26,080
so eight hours, Hey, maybe
that I'll have enough I don't say patience,

165
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:31,039
but I'll have enough drive to uh
to get through that. But yeah,

166
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,679
it's you know, it is still
a little difficult for me to get

167
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:39,120
super excited about it. It's good
for Microsoft to have something in the prestige

168
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:45,759
third person action genre. I suppose
they're gonna have some representation there, and

169
00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:50,240
I'm sure that that gets people excited. We know that these are very popular

170
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,679
kinds of games. I'm sure that
this is good for the brand. It's

171
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,879
gonna be good for the console.
I don't know. Part part of me

172
00:10:56,919 --> 00:10:58,399
is like, not, pardon me, the way is not looking forward to

173
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,240
the next few months of me being
like I don't really care about Sanuela and

174
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,480
then getting yelled at for it.
But yeah, yeah, sure, I

175
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,799
suppose we could just shut the funk
off about it, but eh, I

176
00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:09,600
don't care. I'm gonna say it. What else you want from me?

177
00:11:11,759 --> 00:11:15,399
Uh? You know? And you
know, with that trying to be like

178
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,039
God of War whatever, trying to
be more you know, bigger hell Blade,

179
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,240
you can get a lot of that
without having to have the I call

180
00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:26,399
it craft I'm sure. I'm sure
some people just call it like the meat

181
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,759
the stuff that they're actually there for. But you don't need to have all

182
00:11:28,799 --> 00:11:33,360
of this extra stuff and all these
systems and all this bullshit on top to

183
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,519
like get across what a lot I
think a lot of people want from these

184
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:39,080
games, which is a cinematic experience. I think this is one hundred percent

185
00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:41,519
going to have a very cinematic experience. Oh I think I gues it's going

186
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,399
to be razor focused on that.
So for a lot of people, I

187
00:11:45,399 --> 00:11:48,080
think this might be the ideal form
of what this game looks like. I

188
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,080
think as soon as you start talking
about like, oh, well can that

189
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,200
game win game game of the year, for all these other games are doing

190
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:54,759
so much more, were doing it
so well, it's like, well,

191
00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:58,399
I don't get a shit about that, Like jerk off hand motion to all

192
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,600
that conversation. This I'm very happy
that this is the game they want to

193
00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:07,080
make. They're not trying to like
staple on extra things just to justify some

194
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,120
other thing. And maybe this goes
back to like the benefit of game pass,

195
00:12:11,159 --> 00:12:13,039
where I, yeah, it's a
fifty dollars game, whatever, you're

196
00:12:13,039 --> 00:12:18,120
going to probably try and game Pass, and you don't have to necessarily bend

197
00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:22,320
it to what it needs to be
for the market for it to make sense

198
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,200
in the marketplace, which I think
goes a little bit against what like Sven

199
00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:30,200
Viinque from Larry and was saying this
week, although I definitely appreciate I understood

200
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,000
what he was trying to get at. Yeah, but also a story driven

201
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:39,240
game that takes itself super seriously and
talks about a mental illness, and it's

202
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,279
very expensive, it's going to have
a shot at Game of the Year if

203
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,000
it's good. You're right, You're
absolutely right. And then we got the

204
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,840
weird game. Nick on Xbox Era
was saying this, Nick, you're seeing

205
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,279
the chat. I do agree that
this was a little weird, although I

206
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,440
don't think it's quite as weird as
I thought it could have gotten. When

207
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:01,440
I first heard you say that,
visions of Mana showed up, and part

208
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,759
of me it's like, yeah,
Microsoft's been trying to make these like relationships

209
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,919
feel bigger and more important to them
to Xbox. Then one way you do

210
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,480
that is to say, hey,
yeah, you can stand right alongside our

211
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:13,519
games in an Xbox Developer direct and
we'll let you talk about your game,

212
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,759
and I think Visions of Mana showcase
really well. That's a game that looks

213
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,559
very cool to like just be playing
in. It looks very pretty, and

214
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,399
it's kind of funny seeing it like
right after hell Bade right because visually two

215
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,519
very separate games. I am.
I'm pretty excited for this. It is

216
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:35,440
a little surprising in its inclusion here, just because it's not like, oh,

217
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:39,080
Microsoft has some special deal here with
this one. It's not even coming

218
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,320
to game passically thought was maybe happening
if it had to be on this presentation.

219
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,279
It's just, hey, here's a
game from Square Enix that's going to

220
00:13:46,279 --> 00:13:50,240
be on our system. You know, I like Mana. Mana hasn't exactly

221
00:13:50,279 --> 00:13:54,759
been like a top tier Square Enix
franchise. Maybe they're trying to get it

222
00:13:54,759 --> 00:13:58,120
a little bit closer to that.
So yeah, showing it here making it

223
00:13:58,159 --> 00:14:01,399
seem important. I am all for
it. It's definitely something speaks to me.

224
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,600
I can understand maybe some people were
not super pleased to buy it,

225
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,279
but this is good exposure for it. Hopefully it leads to more people checking

226
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,200
it out. Yeah, and again
I think it showcased really well, so

227
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,840
in terms of like judging this developer
direct. It fit in really nicely in

228
00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:20,919
terms of what is Microsoft's strategy here. Well, I think it's just like,

229
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,720
hey, we're hanging out with our
friends and letting them show off their

230
00:14:22,759 --> 00:14:26,559
game. Isn't that cool? Yeah? I guess it is cool, right,

231
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,799
It's something that's very different from everything
else they were showing, so absolutely,

232
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,159
yes, we're right. Also,
it broke up the pacing really nicely.

233
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:35,919
Then Aura History Untold, which is
launching this fall. Visions of Monda

234
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,080
by the way, coming up this
summer are a History Untold, which is

235
00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:45,320
a Grand Strategy for X. So
it's like Civilization plus like Grand strategy elements,

236
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,120
which is like obviously the trend for
strategy games these days be more like

237
00:14:48,159 --> 00:14:56,360
paradox games. I think this looks
really neat, it's got. It seems

238
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:01,480
like they're doing a lot of hardcore
simulations stuff in the in the environment,

239
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:03,840
in the world that will kind of
just be happening, and I think it

240
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,480
can affect like how you play your
game, or like the choices you makee

241
00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:11,320
seem like they're going to affect the
world. But then I think it's like

242
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,159
gonna be a feedback loop and then
the world will inform the kinds of decisions

243
00:15:15,159 --> 00:15:18,600
you can make, and it seems
like it's dynamic. Who knows until actually

244
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,519
get my hands on it whether or
not that one works and two makes a

245
00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:24,039
difference to how I feel about the
game. But I think I am still

246
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,639
kind of keeping my eyes open for
the next one of these that I truly

247
00:15:28,679 --> 00:15:31,799
love and the way that I love
CIV five, And you know, I'll

248
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,240
give a shot. I've given most
of these a shot at this point.

249
00:15:35,399 --> 00:15:37,159
A big part of it's just it
is hard to commit to one of these

250
00:15:37,159 --> 00:15:39,799
at this point, but I'm going
to at least give it a shot.

251
00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:43,799
I don't know, you like some
CIEV games, but I don't know if

252
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,080
you're like necessarily out there looking for
another one. Maybe you know, Steika

253
00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:52,279
had like their attempt at doing a
civilization game. It seemed like that came

254
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,720
and went, well, I forgive
that was called humanity or something like that.

255
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,360
But yeah, so you know,
I'm a little bit like, Okay,

256
00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:03,919
here we go again. It looks
nice what they showed. You kind

257
00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:06,840
of really need to play it to
really grock these kind of games. It's

258
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:11,360
a little it's a difficult genre to
show off, right, Yes, definitely

259
00:16:11,879 --> 00:16:15,720
but you know osegas was called human
Kind. Yeah. Humanity was that game

260
00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:22,120
by the uh whatever, yes,
enhanced, yes, the Hands, Yeah,

261
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,240
which was a game I regret not
being able to play. But yeah,

262
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:27,759
I want to try this out for
sure. I've been playing more strategy

263
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,519
at sim games, not necessarily for
X maybe a little bit of that,

264
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:34,720
but like you know, I was
playing Tropical six recently, right, stuff

265
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:40,559
with that nature. Generally, I
almost prefer stuff more like a tropical or

266
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:48,120
even an Ana where the military stuff
is really unemphasized emphasized even yea, even

267
00:16:48,159 --> 00:16:49,919
SIV has too much of that for
me. Like, I'm really not very

268
00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:55,440
interested in making troops or units or
like defenses and things like that. I

269
00:16:55,519 --> 00:16:57,639
kind of just want to make my
trade routes in my city and do diplomacy

270
00:16:57,639 --> 00:17:02,120
and stuff like that. There is
one maybe worth checking out then, called

271
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:07,599
Before We Leave, which is just
a game about It has no military aspect

272
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,920
at all. It's just about building
up the resources so that you can leave

273
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,400
a planet and go colonize another planet. Basically. It's which in good way

274
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:17,519
is still kind of militaristic. Yeah, even like when I used to play

275
00:17:17,559 --> 00:17:22,079
like Warcraft two and like StarCraft,
I liked base building, and I like

276
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,480
sending out my peons to the gold
mines and all that stuff. And then

277
00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:27,640
like I would always just get attacked
in and lose because I would never build

278
00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:33,720
enough military force. It just wasn't
that interested. Yeah, this game looks

279
00:17:33,759 --> 00:17:37,039
like it will have like a lot
going on for people who aren't just interested

280
00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:40,519
in military. But it seems like
one where you're still gonna have to build

281
00:17:40,599 --> 00:17:42,920
up defenses and all that stuff.
So yeah, not maybe the game for

282
00:17:44,039 --> 00:17:47,400
you. I'm gonna give a shot. I'm gonna give a shot. Yeah,

283
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,119
we'll see for sure. And then
Indiana Jones in the Great Circle.

284
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,799
The name confirmed, it is the
Great Circle. That's weird. We complained

285
00:17:53,799 --> 00:17:56,799
about the name for a little bit. Yeah, sure it's a bad name.

286
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,960
I think the trailer sold me on
it most like I'm not gonna sit

287
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,559
here in blind rich well get over
it. But I also know what the

288
00:18:03,599 --> 00:18:07,599
circle is, I suppose, but
it's just like this ambiguous circle, Like,

289
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,720
what the hell do you mean?
The Great Circle? But you know,

290
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,799
I think it's a little weird to
just like the name of Rayers Lost

291
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,519
Arc, is it India Jones and
the Arc of the Covenant, you know,

292
00:18:17,519 --> 00:18:18,960
you could dress it up a little
bit, right, Yeah, it

293
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,960
could be like, I don't know, the Circle of something of life,

294
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,599
India Jones and the Circle of Life. But the sure whatever, I'm already

295
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,440
used to it. That's not a
big deal and they own that. So

296
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:30,759
they could have just used Circle of
Life. That would have been fine.

297
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:36,200
Sure, absolutely, why not?
Uh yeah, okay, So then the

298
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,160
game is first person. It's from
Machine Games, so kind of no ship

299
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,880
at a certain point. But I
think a lot of people were hoping it

300
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,640
would just be uncharted, and I
was like, yeah, I think that's

301
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,200
the smart move. Make it.
Make it a look uncharted. And now

302
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,279
that I see it, my god, that looks like a lot of fun.

303
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,799
They you know, it's gonna be
a Machine Games first person game,

304
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,400
so you're gonna see Indy a lot, just like you saw bj Blaskowitz a

305
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,039
lot in the Wolfenstein games. The
trailers make that very clear. There's even

306
00:19:00,279 --> 00:19:03,200
it seems to be a gameplay sections
where you've got the third person, like

307
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,720
when you're climbing rope or something,
the camera will pull back at points.

308
00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:12,400
Yeah, and cool, cool,
whatever. But those first person combat segments

309
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,200
and the puzzle solving segments, like
having the whip, using the whip to

310
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,559
like trip someone up and pull them
to the ground, and then bringing your

311
00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:22,440
gun out and shooting another Nazi.
It looks really dynamic and fun, and

312
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,079
I'm very very excited about this game
now, Mike, how about you?

313
00:19:26,839 --> 00:19:30,720
Oh yeah, I mean I wanted
to be hopeful anyways, but I thought

314
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,000
that this trailer looks great. I
mean, it's basically everything that you want

315
00:19:33,279 --> 00:19:37,720
and almost expected. It looks very
expensive, looks very faithful, It is

316
00:19:37,799 --> 00:19:42,079
absolutely you know it's doing with the
movies. Can't really anymore. Even though

317
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:48,359
the new one did trifle flashback sequence
right to take us back to prime Indiana

318
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,599
Jones in this way that feels pretty
authentic, right, Like the story is

319
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:56,119
slotted right in between the plots of
Raiso loast Ark in the les Cercede,

320
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,279
and it really does feel like it
just kind of slots right in there.

321
00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:03,799
There's that part of the trailer you
had the punching to the beat that that

322
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:08,519
was running up these big set pieces. Just say, I edited a Indiana

323
00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:12,279
Jones video in high school once,
and it's like impossible not to edit to

324
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,119
that music. It's like so it's
so like, oh my god, this

325
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,240
is so good and obviously punching the
beat was a really good moment, But

326
00:20:18,279 --> 00:20:25,559
I mean, how are you feeling
like beyond like the uh the initial reaction.

327
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:26,799
Is this something where it's like,
yeah, this makes a lot of

328
00:20:26,839 --> 00:20:30,319
sense and I bet I'm going to
really enjoy this or is there any part

329
00:20:30,319 --> 00:20:33,319
of you that's still like, oh, I kind of wish this was a

330
00:20:33,319 --> 00:20:36,559
different kind of game. Nope,
this is this looks great. I mean

331
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,480
Machine Games is great making first person
games. Why wouldn't they make a first

332
00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:42,119
person Yeah? You know, I
know that. You know, there's where

333
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:47,960
there was talk at their Red Fall
and then like Redfull being negative example of

334
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,559
a developer try something new in it
not working, and then High Fight Rush

335
00:20:51,599 --> 00:20:53,440
being an example of a developer to
try something new and it really working.

336
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,200
But hey, if you're you have
two choices and the one is something you're

337
00:20:57,279 --> 00:21:00,359
really good and familiar with, and
then the other one like, oh,

338
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,319
let's try a third person game,
Well it's what end why we know it

339
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,200
could do the other one really well, just go for it. I think

340
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:11,119
it's gonna be fantastic. I mean, even certain things like first person punching

341
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,119
is just kind of different than third
person punching it sometimes better. I really

342
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,559
like punching people in first person,
or there's even a moment where they kind

343
00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:19,640
of grab the guy or some of
the whiff stuff. I mean, remember

344
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,440
how good throwing dudes around as RoboCop
felt, And that's right, exactly.

345
00:21:23,559 --> 00:21:29,400
Yeah, there's something to first person
absolutely. I mean, and I really

346
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,400
love first person. You know,
I don't really think I have a preference.

347
00:21:33,519 --> 00:21:34,759
It's not like I think it's a
weird thing to have a preference on.

348
00:21:34,839 --> 00:21:37,519
No, I don't have a preference
at all. It's like, yeah,

349
00:21:37,559 --> 00:21:44,160
absolutely, not like having a preference
for shirts or pants, like I

350
00:21:45,079 --> 00:21:48,319
like both. Yeah, exactly,
I'm glad and I'm glad we have a

351
00:21:48,319 --> 00:21:52,480
space for both. That said,
some people do have a preference that you

352
00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:56,799
know. That's fine at a certain
point, though, Man, makeup make

353
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,880
room for your heart, and you
make room in your heart for first person

354
00:22:00,039 --> 00:22:03,400
games if you haven't so far.
Now, if you're someone gets motion sick,

355
00:22:03,599 --> 00:22:06,799
I know a lot of people do
with first person games. Hey,

356
00:22:06,839 --> 00:22:10,559
I'm sorry. But if it's just
like about like, hey, I like

357
00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:14,759
seeing my character, I guarantee you
this game is going to serve up what

358
00:22:14,799 --> 00:22:18,799
you want in terms of that and
you're missing out on some stuff, like

359
00:22:18,839 --> 00:22:22,119
if you haven't played their Wolfenstein games, go play those. You'll see that

360
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,680
this studio really knows what they're doing
when it comes to building a strong relationship

361
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,319
between the player and the character,
of the action and the character and having

362
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,319
all that be very meaningful. They
nailed that stuff in the Wolfenstein games.

363
00:22:33,319 --> 00:22:40,960
So I'm I'm pretty excited about it
here. The reaction has been you know,

364
00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:42,559
a lot of people are excited,
but you go look at the comments.

365
00:22:44,079 --> 00:22:45,920
A lot of people are just like, why isn't this third person?

366
00:22:47,279 --> 00:22:51,119
Do you think that's going to have
any effect on how the game does?

367
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,039
No? I think that's mostly noise. I think you're probably right. I

368
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,960
You're probably right. Yes, Especially
if the game is high quality, comes

369
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,559
out and it's like you know,
getting reviews, people will show up for

370
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,200
it and honestly like, like,
maybe it turns like a huge hit on

371
00:23:04,279 --> 00:23:07,720
PC, where first person games are
right at home. You could sell a

372
00:23:07,759 --> 00:23:11,160
ton of copies on PC, and
then console gamers should be like, well,

373
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,079
I don't want to be left out, and then they show up and

374
00:23:12,079 --> 00:23:17,200
actually start playing it. They had
that games coming out twenty twenty four.

375
00:23:17,279 --> 00:23:22,200
Do you believe that, Mike.
Yeah, though obviously most likely to be

376
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,960
delayed. If anything's going to be
right, it's always a little concerning with

377
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,640
when in the same presentation there's a
game marked for fall right and then another

378
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,759
one that just is way more vague
than that. But if it does come

379
00:23:33,799 --> 00:23:37,720
out this year, so capstone to
what looks like a pretty good lineup,

380
00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:41,960
especially these days when it's hard for
a Microsoft or Sony to get too many

381
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:48,119
first party games out. A couple
other things about any of Jones, I'm

382
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,680
a little sad my buddy aj Locasio's
not the voice of any of Jones in

383
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,880
this Well. You know, people
are worried about AI taking over all the

384
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,680
voice acting jobs, and it turns
out we're just going to give them all

385
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,519
the Tray Baker. Yeah, And
like I want to be snarky and mad

386
00:24:03,559 --> 00:24:04,599
about it, but he's doing a
good job. In the trailer. He

387
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,880
does a really good job. I
am not some kind of like, oh

388
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,680
my god, Troy Baker fan.
I just don't have that experience. But

389
00:24:12,279 --> 00:24:17,079
the man knows what he's doing clearly, and he did a very good job

390
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:21,440
in that in that trailer. I
bet that carries over to the game How

391
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,480
do you feel about them getting the
Harrison Ford model. Yeah, I think

392
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:26,680
that's good. Yeah, it looks
just like him down to the scar.

393
00:24:27,279 --> 00:24:32,519
It's pretty cool. I think that, along with like a pretty good sounded

394
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,440
like makes it very convincing. I'm
just like, yep, that's Indiana Jones.

395
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,319
Good to go, Yep, same
here, and well I love Indiana

396
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,920
Jones. I really really do.
I love those movies a ton. Yeah,

397
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,920
yeah, it's fun. I was
kidding. I saw some comments with

398
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,799
people like, man, you know
we had we had a chartered all that

399
00:24:48,839 --> 00:24:52,480
long, not that long ago,
and and you know, Tumer, do

400
00:24:52,519 --> 00:24:55,039
we even really need these games right
now? I'm like, man, we

401
00:24:55,119 --> 00:25:00,920
have fifteen million Nordic mythology games.
Ye, zombie things. We got like

402
00:25:00,319 --> 00:25:06,920
our third action adventure like franchising,
it's Indiana, So we're like do we

403
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,720
need this? We have a tomb
Raider. Do we need this? It's

404
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,559
like, what the fuck are you
talking about? Like the last two Raider

405
00:25:11,599 --> 00:25:15,000
wasn't very good? It was a
long time ago now yeah. Oh yeah.

406
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,640
Also the last two Raiders and a
chart it's quite a while ago now

407
00:25:18,799 --> 00:25:21,480
yeah, both are a while ago. Yeah, Oh yeah, I don't

408
00:25:21,519 --> 00:25:23,319
Yeah, I saw some of those
things. I was a little blown away

409
00:25:23,319 --> 00:25:26,440
by that, but oh, well, yeah, do you think that this

410
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:33,359
by the end of this year,
a let's say twenty two year old looks

411
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,480
at Indiana Jones, their first thought
is a, Oh, that's that character

412
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,599
from the Indiana Jones game, or
b that's the character skin from Fortnite.

413
00:25:41,799 --> 00:25:45,039
I don't think it'll be that.
Look. I think this is going to

414
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,519
do more to potentially create new Indiana
Jones fans in the last movie did,

415
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,359
of course, the last movie is
an eighty year old Indiana Jones kind of

416
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,440
just just there as a nostalgic send
off one lesson dip into the well,

417
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,559
and for that it was mostly fine. Some weird things with that movie.

418
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,559
Is this me being a baby.
I don't like seeing civilians die in an

419
00:26:06,599 --> 00:26:11,039
Indiana Jones movie. That bummed me
out. In Dial of Destiny, it's

420
00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:12,640
like, no, yeah, no, this is Indiana Jones. No,

421
00:26:14,079 --> 00:26:17,440
if you're a good person, you
get to live, unless you're getting sacrificed

422
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,440
to colle ma or whatever. Yeah. I think you know, the whole

423
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,839
point of having Nazis in your franchise
is so you have fodder to kill and

424
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,160
not feel bad about right, like
that's the whole purpose of it being there.

425
00:26:26,519 --> 00:26:29,880
I'm with you. I don't think
that makes your baby. I think

426
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,599
that the popcorniness of those films should
be first, front and foremost. And

427
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,599
yeah that they sosgious as that Harry
Potter movie that killed two babies. But

428
00:26:37,839 --> 00:26:42,640
whoa listen, you gotta do that
because Hitler, you know how it coming

429
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,240
weird fucking thing. Yeah, but
I'm excited for this, Jeff Gosh,

430
00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:52,839
this and that first person Jurassic Park
game. We're getting some good and we

431
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,240
had Avatar. We have some good
first person franchise games. Yep. Yeah,

432
00:26:56,279 --> 00:27:00,359
that's uh. And for me,
like, that's that's fantastic. I'm

433
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,839
glad we're getting all kinds. There
is not just one way to do this

434
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,880
stuff. And I know I said
first person, just not because it's a

435
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,920
coincidence. I don't ever actually think
of it like that, except for this

436
00:27:10,079 --> 00:27:12,279
noise. I look at that and
I go video game. Yeah, right,

437
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:17,519
so here's the first person once and
here's the third person one whatever.

438
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,240
I did reinstall Phantom Abyss though,
because of this, which is a first

439
00:27:22,279 --> 00:27:26,240
person whip one. It's the whip
one. That's it's kind of a it's

440
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:32,079
a rogue light Indiana Jones sim sort
of thing, and you you have a

441
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,079
whip and use that to break things
open and attack things, but you can

442
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,039
also use it to like swing on
everything, and it just feels so good,

443
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,000
and it's like that's the one where
like, Okay, if Indiana Jones

444
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,240
comes out and it is a first
person game, I bet it's going to

445
00:27:42,319 --> 00:27:47,559
own because this really works. I
didn't get you on the Indiana Jones ride

446
00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:51,240
in Disneyland. Hopefully I will be
able to next if we go again,

447
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,039
which hopefully you will. I've got
to get you on that. That ride

448
00:27:53,079 --> 00:27:57,720
absolutely rules. Yeah, yeah,
I've never never done that. I've seen

449
00:27:57,759 --> 00:28:03,319
the Indiana Jones stunt spectacular at Universal
and that was I really love that.

450
00:28:03,559 --> 00:28:07,119
Universal. God, you're making me
die, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney Hollywood

451
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:11,480
Studios, whatever, you know,
it's all the same today. Yeah.

452
00:28:11,519 --> 00:28:14,240
They got rid of the audience participation
in that one, though, which is

453
00:28:14,319 --> 00:28:18,079
sad since I really COVID. Yeah. I used to, like used to

454
00:28:18,079 --> 00:28:19,279
pick people from the crowd. You
would sign waivers and you would get to

455
00:28:19,319 --> 00:28:23,119
be like in the background during the
scenes. Me and my brothers figured out

456
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,680
how to get picked every time we
wanted to. It was a lot of

457
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,200
fun. But they know, man, no more. That's a shame.

458
00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:33,319
Yeah, like love Adiana Jones.
I really liked what I saw from that

459
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,279
trailer, and I think I agree
with you that this is a pretty decent

460
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,240
sort of showing in terms of,
like, hey, let's set up Microsoft's

461
00:28:40,799 --> 00:28:42,920
Xbox twenty twenty four. If these
are the games, I think that's pretty

462
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,519
decent. I hope they have a
couple of surprises, but I hope everyone

463
00:28:45,559 --> 00:28:48,640
has a couple of surprises. Well, I mean, you say you agree

464
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:49,599
with me it's pretty decent. I
think it's more than decent. I think

465
00:28:49,599 --> 00:28:52,720
this is very good. That's right. Yeah, you're very happy with it.

466
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000
I'm very happy, are you not? Are you more on the like

467
00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:57,200
it's decent kind of? I just
okay, So I don't care about Hill

468
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,920
By two. And then to that
point, it's just that no big release

469
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,039
at least as far as we know, in the first half of this year

470
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,039
to be dry, right, so
that I think that's where most of it's

471
00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:11,599
coming from. And then you know
avowed in our ara kind of both are

472
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,680
like I need to play those to
know for sure whether or not I'm pretty

473
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,160
good avout I put I'll put money
on a vout right now. I like

474
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,960
that showing a lot. Granted,
I was like all in after the Starfield

475
00:29:23,039 --> 00:29:26,119
chilling at that once summer event,
right, So but you hope they learned

476
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,279
from that, right yeah? Yeah, of course we're unreally a year removed

477
00:29:30,279 --> 00:29:33,240
from that, or we're not even
removed from that, but you hope that,

478
00:29:33,359 --> 00:29:37,240
Like, well, it can never
be like that again, not like

479
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,599
Starfield is some complete piece of shit, but I think people get what I'm

480
00:29:41,599 --> 00:29:47,519
getting at there. How much worse
would starfieldould have had to perform critically before

481
00:29:47,559 --> 00:29:51,359
Todd Howard would have been embarrassed to
have his big producer credit in the opening

482
00:29:51,359 --> 00:29:55,799
credits for the Indiana Jones trailer.
I don't know if there is, because

483
00:29:55,799 --> 00:29:59,759
I think he seems very excited to
be right there, right next to ste

484
00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:03,400
Yeah. Of course, of course, if I became like a super well

485
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,920
known like Vidian developer celebrity, I
would become involved in the franchises I liked

486
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,640
as a kid too. And to
be clear clear, I mean that is

487
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,640
the exact job. It seems like
he's done here. He has produced this

488
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:17,440
game into existence. Seems like he
was like one of the main facilitators of

489
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,519
this entire thing. So good for
you, Todd Howard. Thanks for seeing

490
00:30:21,519 --> 00:30:22,960
Happy birthday to me. Yeah,
you were one of the best singers I've

491
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,359
ever heard. All Right, that
does it for our big topic of the

492
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,039
week again, if you have anything
you want to bring up, super chats

493
00:30:30,039 --> 00:30:32,039
are open. Get those sin in. We're going to get to those right

494
00:30:32,079 --> 00:30:33,519
after a quick break, and then
we're going to hit a couple of our

495
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,839
big decisions of the week, including
our Metacritic results and the best games of

496
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:45,960
twenty twelve. We'll do all that
right after this, and we're back and

497
00:30:47,119 --> 00:30:49,200
we are going to do the super
chats. Mike, if you're ready for

498
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,839
those, go ahead and hand them
off. I am ready, sir.

499
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,039
I guess it just starts. I
don't know why I thought you would say

500
00:30:56,039 --> 00:31:00,960
something, adamgcs. It's so hard
to name an Indian at Jones nowadays.

501
00:31:02,039 --> 00:31:07,359
Yeah, dial Destiny wasn't exactly a
super exciting name. It's fine. The

502
00:31:07,359 --> 00:31:11,079
Crystal Skull is an okay, names, it's kind of long. Yeah,

503
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,640
I think you know, I think
George Lucas has a certain kind of magic

504
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,799
with that stuff. Where he did
he just grew up steeped in pulp fiction

505
00:31:19,039 --> 00:31:23,759
like he was. That was his
entire life as a kid. And so

506
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,799
I think he knows a good like
what a good one of those sounds like

507
00:31:27,839 --> 00:31:33,279
when he hears it. And that's
not necessarily a skill other people have developed.

508
00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:36,759
Much. We know what we know
some good Star Wars stuff when we

509
00:31:36,759 --> 00:31:38,920
hear it, but we also don't
know when we're hearing bad Star Wars sounding

510
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,599
stuff. I think that obviously applies
to like Indiana Jones and some of these

511
00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:45,480
other things as well. And who
knows, maybe we get on the other

512
00:31:45,559 --> 00:31:49,000
side of this and this starts sounding
normal. I'm doubting it with the Great

513
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,880
Circle, but who knows, maybe
we'll get it. It's already almost there

514
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,119
for me, it's fine, right. Some of the games did have good

515
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,920
names, though, Fate of Atlantis
I think it's i'd link Lucas is involved

516
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:06,920
in those at that point. Indiana
Jones in the Infernal Machine, that's rue.

517
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,240
That's real good. I like that
one a lot. That's it.

518
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:13,519
It's like you could you could get
Great Circle somewhere closer to Infernal Machine,

519
00:32:13,599 --> 00:32:16,559
right, you can, like you
know, the the Gods Shape or something

520
00:32:16,599 --> 00:32:19,640
like that. No, that's terrible, don't do that, but like something

521
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,359
along those lines, Yeah, this
is better or worse than India Jones and

522
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,519
the Emperor's Tomb. Like that was
a little generic. I don't like it.

523
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,920
Burst toom no, but not the
name of the name. Next one

524
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:34,480
here is from Carlos Lopus, who
says, homies, Happy New Year.

525
00:32:34,519 --> 00:32:37,720
Happy you do you do you think
Nintendo will leverage all of Nvidia's tech to

526
00:32:37,759 --> 00:32:42,319
make the switch to a good place
for Placeation five and series ports. I

527
00:32:42,359 --> 00:32:47,440
don't know. It's tough to say. Uh. I think it's relatively safe

528
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:52,759
to assume that that could happen and
probably will happen, But there's no guarantee

529
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:59,200
and no Nintida will be choosing between
kind of going the direction that Nvidia says,

530
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,279
hey, maybe do this and do
that and maybe saving some money.

531
00:33:01,319 --> 00:33:06,319
And Nintendo so they very easily could
choose saving some money. I think that

532
00:33:06,359 --> 00:33:10,119
they will at least have some magic
tricks built in to get them a little

533
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:14,839
bit closer. Yeah, we'll see. Preny dude says, I truly believe

534
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,880
Sony has ruined the perception of games
that come out of big publishers about and

535
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,400
some of Indie got slandered because they
don't look like a big budget game in

536
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,880
one way or the other. And
I can maybe see why, like wrong

537
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,960
people would say that, But about
how could you even think that about Indiana

538
00:33:29,079 --> 00:33:32,359
Jones looking like a very expensive game? Is it just because Sony doesn't have

539
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:37,960
a big first person franchise anymore?
Is that all it is? Yeah?

540
00:33:37,359 --> 00:33:42,000
I mean, why don't they have
a big first person franchise anymore? Because

541
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,079
the ones they had weren't that good
with kill Zone and Resistance, so yo

542
00:33:45,119 --> 00:33:47,119
at mean, I know some of
you like them, right, and but

543
00:33:47,519 --> 00:33:52,079
I mean some of them were like
decent or decent to good and some people

544
00:33:52,119 --> 00:33:55,000
think they're great. Uh, And
I just think that people didn't buy those

545
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,559
ones as much as they buy the
third person games. I think kill Zone

546
00:33:58,559 --> 00:34:01,000
and Resistance were both good enough to
get four or five entries in their franchises.

547
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,720
That, Yeah, I'm fair enough. That makes sense. I play

548
00:34:04,759 --> 00:34:07,360
it like that. Then just nothing
else ever kind of came up to the

549
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:13,559
plate there. Jason Fulton says,
I just felt like I should say something

550
00:34:13,639 --> 00:34:15,639
after watching that Blake Club episode.
I know it's like we all saw something

551
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:19,920
important, right, Yeah, we
were all there if you were there,

552
00:34:20,559 --> 00:34:24,920
Definitely tell your grandchildren don't forget that
memory. I want to get back in

553
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,360
there, man, I want to
beat that freaking level. Freaking fujin god,

554
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,599
that is a wait. When you
played it, were you like stunned

555
00:34:32,599 --> 00:34:37,400
by the way the game feels.
It feels pretty So I went from the

556
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,800
N sixty four version to the PlayStation
version, and that was actually quite a

557
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:45,039
big upgrade. The INN sixty four
versions kind of fucked in some ways.

558
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:49,880
It doesn't feel right at all.
It's still like as soon as you get

559
00:34:50,159 --> 00:34:52,599
for me, as soon as I
start getting into the shit, it's like,

560
00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:53,480
oh wait, how do I turn
around? Oh my god, I'm

561
00:34:53,519 --> 00:34:57,360
jumping over them. Oh god,
look at this. This is like this

562
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,719
is so stupid. I'm completely discombobulated
here. It happen th real fast.

563
00:35:00,559 --> 00:35:06,639
So yeah, it feels very strange
the platform, and it's also just it's

564
00:35:06,639 --> 00:35:08,920
broken. You should be able to
run and jump and jump off a platform

565
00:35:09,119 --> 00:35:13,119
in a way that makes sense.
It's not even like a cinematic platform or

566
00:35:13,199 --> 00:35:16,320
like Prince of Persia where it's like
easy to gauge when the jump should happen,

567
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:21,159
and just like encode, that is
part of your run up to the

568
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:22,559
ledge. It's like, no,
it's just good. You're just gonna fall

569
00:35:22,559 --> 00:35:25,480
off the ledge if you try to
run toward it. So yeah, it's

570
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:30,559
a fucked up game. Jacob bench
here be. Travis says, Wow,

571
00:35:30,639 --> 00:35:35,639
that Blake Club was something. Please
tell Mike that my culture is not costume

572
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:40,440
with Scandinavian right. Oh gosh,
man, I told you, Jeff,

573
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,079
I didn't. I don't like face
paint, but I went through with it.

574
00:35:44,119 --> 00:35:46,760
At least it was easier to apply
than I thought. Yeah, it

575
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,199
looked like I mean, it looks
like you did a good job and everything,

576
00:35:50,199 --> 00:35:52,519
so I must have been not too
bad. But I was in the

577
00:35:52,519 --> 00:35:54,199
shower. I was getting concerned about
it coming off, but with a good

578
00:35:54,239 --> 00:36:00,639
amount of scrubbing, it got there
eventually. So if, like, if

579
00:36:00,679 --> 00:36:01,760
we get to a point where it's
like the last episode, could we get

580
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:07,320
you back in the face paint,
we'll see, Okay, see again.

581
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,559
The thing that I really don't like, don't like the way mouths and teeth

582
00:36:09,639 --> 00:36:13,840
look with all like that. Sure, the face paint stuff, I don't

583
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,000
know what it is. Fine though, I think it was more of a

584
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,920
self reflection sort of. Oh it's
it's a me thing. For sure.

585
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,159
Now let's see here. Now,
Jacob Bench says, I haven't seen the

586
00:36:24,159 --> 00:36:28,199
indie movies. Should I be excited
for the game of good Weekend? You

587
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,880
know you should go watch Indiana Jones
and Raiders of the Lost Arc. It's

588
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:36,440
like, what hours long. It's
a fun, breezy movie, and then

589
00:36:36,519 --> 00:36:39,119
you'll know if you like Indiana Jones
or not. Yep, agreed. I

590
00:36:39,119 --> 00:36:45,599
think you just go watch the movie. You'll know it's and then maybe even

591
00:36:45,599 --> 00:36:47,079
if you don't like the movie,
I bet the game might actually still be

592
00:36:47,119 --> 00:36:51,679
a good time. We'll see,
Hello, Davis says, fuck Mary,

593
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:57,360
kill Steve from Minecraft. Part the
next and audist these are very random characters.

594
00:36:57,519 --> 00:37:00,559
Is part the next? The dragon
that marls a voice in Skyrim?

595
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:07,199
Is that something else? Uh?
Part the next is the dragon that I

596
00:37:07,199 --> 00:37:12,039
think Charles Martine voiced in Skyrim?
Yes, pretty sure that's what? All?

597
00:37:12,119 --> 00:37:15,280
Right? Then that's part the nex. Okay, I guess I'll kill

598
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:24,800
Steve from Minecraft. Fuck Parthanax and
very oddish. Uh I am going to

599
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:31,800
kill Steve from Minecraft. I'm going
to uh uh fuck oddish and I'll marry

600
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:37,679
Parthenax. Okay, we're all killing
Steve from Minecraft. Man yes, Adam

601
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,039
Stein says, started playing Kobalt Corps. It's a wonderful game. You're still

602
00:37:40,039 --> 00:37:45,480
playing Cobalt Cord Jeff, This is
that the game is a little it's a

603
00:37:45,559 --> 00:37:49,639
roguelike with some strategy omens. Right. Yeah, it's gets similar to ftl

604
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,400
uh and a little bit into the
breach and it's about more about ship battles

605
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,840
than into the breaches, and a
little bit different than how FTL works.

606
00:37:58,119 --> 00:38:00,239
But it's it's it's really good.
I have not had much more time for

607
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:06,000
it, mostly because of all the
review stuff that's been happening at or ep

608
00:38:06,079 --> 00:38:08,800
idiot boxes. Mike saying, I
suppose makes me think of the fan club

609
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:13,719
mini game from a rhythm Heaven.
Hmm is a rhythm heaven the opposite of

610
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:20,280
a bullet hell? Grammatically yes,
it maybe even wise Actually it's interesting.

611
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:22,960
Big Fresh says, it's been a
few hours. Has Mike been canceled for

612
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:28,400
staying the help Blake Dev's know nothing
about our psychosis yet, that's not I

613
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,400
probably shouldn't have said that, but
I don't really mean it, But I

614
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:36,079
still I don't know. I guess
I'm gonna have to take the word for

615
00:38:36,119 --> 00:38:37,199
it. What the hell do I
know. But I guess I'm a little

616
00:38:37,199 --> 00:38:45,639
surprised that just like having like voices
and headphones is like a good replication of

617
00:38:45,679 --> 00:38:49,519
a mental illness. But I am
an idiot, and I think it is

618
00:38:49,639 --> 00:38:52,320
because people who actually have it has
said that, So I apologize for my

619
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:57,119
right. They've imagination and empathy,
right, they've like worked with people.

620
00:38:57,159 --> 00:39:00,199
It's like, yeah, I still
don't I don't know if it's like replicating

621
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,159
the way it feels for me,
but I get if they're trying to represent

622
00:39:02,159 --> 00:39:05,880
it, it's still how they're expressing
themselves. So yeah, I'm fine with

623
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,960
that. It's fine. That's not
my issue with help late Next up here

624
00:39:09,079 --> 00:39:14,079
is from Reservoir Dougs. It says
Hi Beef and Cheddar boys curious to know

625
00:39:14,159 --> 00:39:19,480
what is going on with the Metro
franchise. It's been a while. Thanks,

626
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,559
Yeah, I don't really know.
I wonder how well that last Metro

627
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,599
did that. It seemed like a
really kind of a chance for it to

628
00:39:24,599 --> 00:39:29,000
be a breakout series, and I
don't know if it necessarily like took off

629
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,239
in a major way, But I
don't know. It feels like if they

630
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,280
did another one of those now ish
and it was kind of very similar to

631
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,480
that last one, maybe spruced up
just a little bit, maybe had a

632
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,400
little bit more refinement to the gameplay. It could actually take off at this

633
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:45,280
at this moment when it didn't account
When was that back in like twenty fourteen,

634
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,880
twenty fifteen, I don't know,
never played a bunch of Maybe they're

635
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,559
like twenty seventeen actually my bed.
Yeah, I selt like I should.

636
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,440
Aren't They kind of a bit half
Life esque? Right? Yeah? Yeah,

637
00:39:55,519 --> 00:39:59,320
they're you know, I think they
try to be a little bit stalker

638
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,440
asque little bit immersive Sam, but
yeah, it's it's mostly a shooter,

639
00:40:02,599 --> 00:40:07,480
mostly an action shooter some time.
Yeah, before I get to next year,

640
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,559
we're I had along the same path
here about dormant franchises. I don't

641
00:40:09,559 --> 00:40:14,400
know if you've ever heard anything about
what might be going on with the Ridge

642
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:20,119
Racer series. What's that sources?
I've heard a game franchise from Bandy Namco.

643
00:40:20,519 --> 00:40:22,199
Okay, so I'll put the birdies
on it, all right, thank

644
00:40:22,199 --> 00:40:27,679
you appreciate the problem. Oh,
Greg says, what is a Greg Miller?

645
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,840
But Greg was having fun today.
I don't know if you were to

646
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,039
following him on Twitter, a little
bit. Yep, since like this weekend

647
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,239
he had that one where he's like, hey, what if we all like

648
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:42,840
recorded ourselves saying Andy thirty times it
posted as a reply to this, It's

649
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,000
like, okay, but yeah,
yeah, he's having What is the one

650
00:40:46,039 --> 00:40:50,599
he was harassing people about today.
I was, uh, it's going on

651
00:40:50,639 --> 00:40:53,079
about Starfield being game of the Year
and it was better than games where you

652
00:40:53,119 --> 00:40:58,679
lose sticks together or roll dice.
And then he was going, he's saying

653
00:40:58,679 --> 00:41:02,760
that Last of Us is Roguelike mode
is better than God of Wars, right,

654
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:07,440
so say it out loud, like
whoa, he's really out of good

655
00:41:07,559 --> 00:41:13,840
throw somebody does something. It's totally
just the way like he plays it up

656
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,199
like in your face about it,
just clears it and like he knows what

657
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:22,079
he's doing, of course, yeah
yeah and so and then he like stopped

658
00:41:22,119 --> 00:41:25,440
replies. So the people are quote
tweeting and he's like, stop quote tweeting,

659
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:30,000
and that gets more people to quote
tweet of course. He's having a

660
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,920
great time. Good for great Big
Fresh thirty seven says Tower Born and Flight

661
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:37,400
Slim for Xbox this year. Also, what is Tower is me? Tower

662
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:44,679
Born again? Tower Born is that
side scrolly beat him up the action RPG

663
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:49,559
ish kind of thing. Yeah,
from the people that did Banner saga.

664
00:41:50,599 --> 00:41:52,559
Yeah, and it looks really good, looks really really pretty. I'm gonna

665
00:41:52,559 --> 00:41:54,559
do this one now. And at
ten, Derek says, what's the controversy

666
00:41:54,599 --> 00:41:59,440
about what Greg Millers said? He's
just correct, well as as I believe,

667
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,320
Blessing point it out. He only
experienced Valhalla by watching it on YouTube

668
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:10,480
for one day. But you know
whatever. Next one here is from the

669
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:15,679
Inchire wolf Is says this help a
two skipping physical a sign of Xbox's future

670
00:42:15,079 --> 00:42:21,320
regarding physical or releases. So High
Eye Rush also did not have a physical

671
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,599
version, right, I guess I
just never thought that this game was closer

672
00:42:23,639 --> 00:42:29,239
to that tire than a game that
you could buy at a Walmart. Yeah,

673
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,079
I mean I think it's a sign
of like where everyone's going, because

674
00:42:31,079 --> 00:42:36,199
this is I mean, I will
wake two right, So yeah, this

675
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,480
is clearly a sign of the future. Like that's what this, that's what's

676
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:43,960
happening here, You're right, Uh, Mike E O'Leary says, Anya Jones

677
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:49,920
and the Muppets take Manhattan. Now
that's a proper pretty good. That is

678
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,159
probably my all the ways you can
like name a franchisees. I do like

679
00:42:52,199 --> 00:42:57,760
the so and so and the yeah
convention. I don't know why. I

680
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,679
think that's fun. Maybe that's why
I liked Harry Potter in the first place,

681
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:08,039
because they also did that or things
should Mike Benatti and the Fight against

682
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:15,079
Grub Yeah, Mike Manatti and the
Fight of the Fucos. Yeah, Mike

683
00:43:15,119 --> 00:43:19,719
Manatti and the Healthy Jimmy Olsen's I
forgot what I called him the first time.

684
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:28,920
Billy Joels, Billy Joels, Billy
Joels, Jimmy Olsen's piano Man's Burrito

685
00:43:29,079 --> 00:43:30,840
says, Hey, Mike, you
did really want more to combat, but

686
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,760
look up, it's at the end. Also, here's some cold hard cash

687
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,519
that raised the friends. You should
get a safe state checkpoint. Keep plunk

688
00:43:37,599 --> 00:43:40,639
keeping on. Thank you, Burto. It's all right. Well, first

689
00:43:40,639 --> 00:43:45,400
off, I can't because I'm playing
it on original hardware, so we can't

690
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:49,679
do It's not an option. I
want to beat it for real. Z's

691
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,280
yeah, yeah, I think you're
gonna it's and I think you're gonna do

692
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:53,840
it. I think you're gonna do
it very early on the next episode.

693
00:43:54,119 --> 00:43:59,000
I promise I wasn't as depressed as
I looked. Just looking like Uncle Fester

694
00:43:59,159 --> 00:44:00,960
while your concerts. Eating makes you
seem like you have some kind of a

695
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:07,719
poor metal state, but it never
really amplifies the distressed look there. It's

696
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,960
like putting up an American flag upside
down if you look like Uncle Fester.

697
00:44:10,159 --> 00:44:14,000
If I do that again, I
either need to like not get my eyebrows

698
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,519
in the white or put the black
on them too. I think that will

699
00:44:15,559 --> 00:44:20,280
make me look a little bit less
Uncle Fester. Yeah, okay, I'm

700
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,480
glad we have new strats, new
new face paintstrats. Connor Woods has heard

701
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:30,800
about Embracer closing Piranha Bytes, which
was Pana Bites' job. I couldn't remember.

702
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,280
I was. I saw this earlier
today and I was kind of running

703
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,679
around. I'm like, I'll look
that up later. Let me see hear

704
00:44:35,679 --> 00:44:39,400
Piranha Bytes. The German video game
develop Yeah, let's see gothic. Oh

705
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:46,039
this is the goth the old but
not that man. So they released the

706
00:44:46,039 --> 00:44:52,199
game in twenty twenty two called Elex
two. Oh yeah, the Elex series.

707
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,320
Okay, yeah, I think that's
the one that. Let me see

708
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:58,360
here. It's an action role playing
video game. Okay, yeah, I

709
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,920
remember this, but I never played
them. Well, I'm shot that Embracer

710
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,559
is just closing down on our studio. What a disaster, What a just

711
00:45:04,639 --> 00:45:07,440
absolute mess that that is. And
uh, this is the one you gonna

712
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:12,159
get worse over there. Yeah,
they suck. Embracer's terrible. Uh lurking

713
00:45:12,199 --> 00:45:15,280
with my girt g and says,
how about Indian Jones and the Great Circle

714
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,719
Jerk? Please pass the cracker?
How about Indian Jones and the lurking with

715
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:24,000
my girt getting man, that's that's
a mystery. I got to get to

716
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:28,760
the bottom of the bottom of They
made those Indian Jones like novels that they

717
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,400
would sell a lot of places,
and my younger brothers into him. One

718
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:39,000
of them was just Indiana Jones and
the dinosaur ex What happens? There's a

719
00:45:39,039 --> 00:45:45,760
dinosaur hatch? What's going on?
That's very good? Yeah, uh,

720
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:50,760
Todd Howard, it says, just
a reminding chat of a couple of undeniable

721
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:55,320
facts. Space is objectively exciting,
spaces, empty space could be tedious,

722
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,400
and astronauts work board. Yeah.
You know what's more exciting, Todd Howard

723
00:45:59,519 --> 00:46:06,480
is wielding once. Yeah. Also, shooting Nazis is pretty cool. Or

724
00:46:06,599 --> 00:46:10,400
punching them maybe even better. Yeah, god, Ali miracle, says Atari

725
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,599
Hotel. Huh sure, why not. There's weed lounges here, so nothing

726
00:46:14,679 --> 00:46:17,519
surprising me anymore. What the fuck
are they gonna put that thing? Uh?

727
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:21,880
Where the fuck? Thank you boys
who are the best. It's still

728
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,199
going in La Vega, yeah,
parent, it's gonna be Las Vegas and

729
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:30,599
they I think I'm in Phoenix too. I guess we'll see I still like,

730
00:46:30,679 --> 00:46:32,400
of course they say they're doing it
again. I'll believe it when I

731
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:36,960
see it. Same, same,
same. That's it for the Supertestment.

732
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:38,159
Now, thank you so much everybody. Oh hey, one just came in

733
00:46:38,199 --> 00:46:42,639
from aerod Gan, says Indie.
Holy fuck, I'm hyped. I'm pretty

734
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,599
hyped too, I too. That
looks cool. I'm yeah, that's yes.

735
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,320
You know, it's a big budget
in the Jones scheme. We haven't

736
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,000
had one of those, uh and
like forever, even like the last few

737
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:58,559
ones when they tried like Emperor's Tomb
or Infernal Machine, they weren't that big

738
00:46:58,599 --> 00:47:01,199
budgety. They're kind of after thought. Ee. So yeah, this is

739
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:06,559
really cool. I'm glad we're getting
this. I think you could tell like

740
00:47:06,639 --> 00:47:08,480
there's there's hype out there for it, because as soon as that was over,

741
00:47:08,599 --> 00:47:12,239
we all went and tried to put
a bid on it in a fantasy

742
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,960
critics. Yeah. Yeah, I'll
be interested to see how much it goes

743
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,119
for. I think it's going to
go for a pretty pace. It's everyone's

744
00:47:19,159 --> 00:47:22,199
trying to fight over it. Yep, absolutely, I'm excited. All right,

745
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,360
that's going to do for the super
chats, We're going to take another

746
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:28,719
quick break. Won't be long.
Everybody will be right back to play our

747
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,960
little game where we're going to see
how we did on Metacritic and maybe make

748
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:37,599
some new predictions back after this and
we're back, Sean, what are we

749
00:47:37,679 --> 00:47:40,719
doing now? Well, first of
all, I'm going to tell you about

750
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:45,840
something wild that just popped up on
my timeline. I think Listeners Show would

751
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:51,960
be very interested in. Apparently,
if you crash a game Boy Advance after

752
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:57,559
an hour and a half, it'll
start leaking cartridge data through the speakers,

753
00:47:58,039 --> 00:48:01,679
and that's just data if you record
it so you can reverse engineer ROMs using

754
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:07,360
no way that rules. This is
wild. I saw it at Katie may

755
00:48:07,519 --> 00:48:10,920
K a T y underscore m A
Y Y. I don't know if she

756
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:15,840
also did the YouTube video that accompanies
this, but I just like watched it

757
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:21,679
while you guys are talking on mute
and it is why and it works.

758
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,400
That is so cool. That rules. I love that. First of all.

759
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:30,119
I love anytime data is audio.
Anytime data is recorded as audio,

760
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:35,719
that is my favorite, like Commodore
cassette voading games or cassette tapes on Commodore.

761
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,239
Yes. Yeah, so I just
thought that was your fun fact of

762
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:43,400
the day or like when like people
like the like with like broadcast like games

763
00:48:43,519 --> 00:48:46,480
and and and programs and you could
record them and stuff. Yeah that ruled.

764
00:48:46,639 --> 00:48:52,440
Okay, wild science anyways, Yeah, we have a I guess results

765
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:57,119
and then we're going to play another
game here. So this is the uncharreed

766
00:48:57,159 --> 00:49:04,239
Wolf's shouts to him in the community
game Mess metacrec predictions Q four results and

767
00:49:04,599 --> 00:49:09,079
twenty twenty four Q one predictions.
So game Mess cleaning the boys here was

768
00:49:09,079 --> 00:49:13,280
given a list of fifteen different games
coming out in the last quarter twenty twenty

769
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,400
three, and they want they need
to predict the metric score. I thought

770
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:19,840
you switched to opencric. Maybe not. I don't know. The score was

771
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,440
determined by the platform with most reviews, so on and so forth. You

772
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:27,079
get the idea there, whoever was
the closest to the final score gets one

773
00:49:27,159 --> 00:49:30,639
point, and if you predicted the
score exactly right, you had two points.

774
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:31,679
And if you didn't think a game
would come up at the end of

775
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:36,280
the second quarter or I think that's
how they did there by the end of

776
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,599
the fourth quarter, you would say, we'll not release and get double points.

777
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,239
So I'll further ado. You guys
want to see how you did.

778
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,440
But yeah, I've been doing rough
in this I feel like lately, so

779
00:49:45,599 --> 00:49:47,679
I hope I had a good showing. I'm not sure. Okay, okay,

780
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:53,840
Well, Game number one was Assassin's
Creed Mirage. Uh. Grub predicted

781
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:58,599
a two, Mike predicted eighty four
very close there. It ended up with

782
00:49:58,639 --> 00:50:01,159
a seventy six. So we got
pretty high on that one. Huh.

783
00:50:01,199 --> 00:50:04,800
I was too optimistic on that one. Yeah, way too optimistic both.

784
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:09,360
I think I thought other people wanted
a smaller skill they did. It sold

785
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:13,599
very well, and I think the
fans actually mostly are pretty happy with this

786
00:50:13,639 --> 00:50:19,000
game, but critics are different and
shouts too disposable content for getting it with

787
00:50:19,159 --> 00:50:22,800
seventy six in the community, So
right on, nice A bad start.

788
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:28,400
Game number two was Detective Pikachu Returns. Mike predicted seventy three and Jeff predicted

789
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:32,159
seventy one. It was a sixty
six, so Jeff gets the point there.

790
00:50:32,519 --> 00:50:36,360
I was so down on this game. Why did I go that high?

791
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:37,719
What's wrong with me? I had
no idea because the first one wasn't

792
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:43,559
particularly good either. I don't know
what I was thinking. Community winners were

793
00:50:43,599 --> 00:50:47,559
Villain Mack and Jackie g which both
predicted sixty six. Game number three was

794
00:50:47,599 --> 00:50:53,079
Forts and Motorsport. Jeff said ninety
Mike said eighty nine. It ended up

795
00:50:53,119 --> 00:50:57,760
at eighty four, So Mike gets
the point there, is it? Uh,

796
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,519
what do you do you consider for
some Forts Motorsport a kind of disappointing

797
00:51:00,559 --> 00:51:04,960
game? Jeff, Yes, a
little bit. It's in a better place,

798
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,639
Yes, it's in a better place
now, but yes, it's definitely

799
00:51:07,679 --> 00:51:13,679
disappointing. And shouts to Disposable Content
and Moon, who both predicted eighty four.

800
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,239
A lot of people somehow gag exactly
right. I know we had a

801
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:21,599
lot of people participating this, but
that's still impressive. Game four was Lords

802
00:51:21,599 --> 00:51:27,000
of the Fallen sequel to the video
game Lords of the Fallen Mike predicted seventy

803
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,239
five. Jeff predicted seventy six.
It was seventy five, so Mike gets

804
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:36,800
two points there. I didn't even
know what this game was. Oh yeah,

805
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:40,199
this is horseshit. That's Hell and
red O, Ski, Epic Open

806
00:51:40,199 --> 00:51:44,840
World, Ben seven, and beef
Hammer all predicted seventy five. Also gag

807
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:49,639
exactly right, heh yeah. Game
number five was Sonic Superstars, which,

808
00:51:49,679 --> 00:51:55,119
for some reason Jeff said eighty three
because he's a moron. He went first.

809
00:51:55,159 --> 00:51:59,440
He went first, and Mike went
with seventy seven. Much more reasonable.

810
00:51:59,599 --> 00:52:02,760
It was seventy three, so Mike
was clearly much closer there. Sorry,

811
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,960
I'm sorry. I thought you guys
said silent games were good, all

812
00:52:06,039 --> 00:52:08,760
right, I don't pay attention to
this yet. We knew this one was

813
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:13,159
gonna be okay, you know what's
seventy three? That is? That is

814
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:17,760
good on most scores, most scores
probably deserves maybe even a little generous,

815
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:23,960
maybe even a little generous. I
would say, user score, that's ridiculous

816
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:29,079
Sonic Film, Sonic fans, right, yeah, no, yeah, Hailstate,

817
00:52:29,159 --> 00:52:34,719
Ben seven, Sleeve, and Barspeckel
all predicted seventy three. So congrets

818
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:38,960
there. Game number six was Spider
Man two. Mike predicted ninety one,

819
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:45,840
Jeff predicted eighty nine. It came
down right in the middle and a ninety

820
00:52:45,599 --> 00:52:51,599
you both get point. We're friends, look at that, and crept people

821
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,679
predicted ninety as well in the community, So shouts to everyone listed on the

822
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:59,119
screen right now on the video version. Game number seven was Super Mario Brothers.

823
00:52:59,159 --> 00:53:02,920
Wonder predicted ninety Mike predicted ninety two
and it was ninety two, so

824
00:53:04,039 --> 00:53:13,599
Mike wats again gets two points seventy
Mikey Boy, Otto, Warren disposable content,

825
00:53:13,639 --> 00:53:17,760
a lot of disposal content INUFE and
barsback all predicted nine two. Game

826
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:23,280
Uber eight was Ciity Skylines two.
Mike predicted eighty three, Jeff predicted eighty

827
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:29,360
one. I don't know if performance
waight into this, but it definitely did.

828
00:53:29,639 --> 00:53:31,480
Got a seventy four. I mean
see for the user score as a

829
00:53:31,639 --> 00:53:37,639
three point seven, but Jeff was
closer there, so Jeff gets the point.

830
00:53:37,079 --> 00:53:43,320
Whoo and then again several people getting
it right on that one. Game

831
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,039
number nine, nobody got it right. Looked like there's a couple of people

832
00:53:45,039 --> 00:53:47,480
flat oh gain sorry, gain the
point. Game the point. Yeh yeah,

833
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:51,639
we had several people on seventy three
and seven people on seventy five,

834
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,400
So yeah, on either side of
and no onman got seventy four. Game

835
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:59,239
number nine was all on white two. Jeff predicted an eighty eight and Mike

836
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:04,239
predicted an eighty seven. Came out
on top with eighty nine, so Jeff

837
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:09,719
gets the point there, shouts Kaki
blues Viez villain. I'd come back and

838
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,320
seven five predicted it had been worse
for me, could have been worse.

839
00:54:14,599 --> 00:54:19,920
Shit g Marten was warriorware moved Jeff
spoiling it for the audio listeners. Mike

840
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:24,599
predicted eighty one, took the over
with eighty two. It came out as

841
00:54:24,679 --> 00:54:29,079
seventy five, So Mike gets the
point. I could have been a victory.

842
00:54:29,159 --> 00:54:31,039
Shit running out of time, Jeff're
running out of time. It came

843
00:54:31,519 --> 00:54:35,840
ye, not looking great. I
try to remember what we both thought for

844
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,280
Avatar. We probably both overshot that
one. Oh I think we overshot that

845
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:43,119
one. Yeah, Razzle Jazzle then
Ben seven both got exactly right with seventy

846
00:54:43,159 --> 00:54:47,599
five. Game number eleven was like
a dragon Guy done. Jeff predicted at

847
00:54:47,639 --> 00:54:52,239
eighty four, Mike predicted eighty five. It was actually a little bit lower

848
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:57,199
at seventy eight, so Jeff gets
the points. I assume the community predicted

849
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:00,400
it would do rather well, So
Alex was the only one who got it

850
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:04,760
with the exact seventy eight. That's
what just mostly got deep for being pretty

851
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:08,559
short right the very game. I
think so, and I think I think

852
00:55:08,639 --> 00:55:12,840
for like like you definitely had to
play the last games, and I think

853
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,360
they're like, this is only going
to be for these people. Yeah,

854
00:55:16,679 --> 00:55:22,639
uh, there we go. Gamar
twelve was Call of Duty Modern Warfare three.

855
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:30,079
Here we go. Mike predicted an
eighty three, Jeff predicted an eighty

856
00:55:30,079 --> 00:55:34,920
four. Uh, well, what
you are historically a Call of Day fan?

857
00:55:36,079 --> 00:55:40,960
It got a fifty six. Yi, man, listen as someone who

858
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,400
has played that game a lot and
likes it for what it is. Yeah,

859
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:50,599
it sounds all right. The complete
passage there is fucking awful. I

860
00:55:50,639 --> 00:55:55,039
think neither should get a point there, but whatever, But actually kiss the

861
00:55:55,119 --> 00:56:02,679
points bench was the closest. The
community was seventy so geez geez. Game

862
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:08,480
number thirteen, Persona five Tactica.
Jeff went with the eighty two, Mike

863
00:56:08,519 --> 00:56:13,880
went with eighty one, and it
went considerably lower than that at seventy four,

864
00:56:14,159 --> 00:56:17,719
so Mike gets lower than I was
expecting. Yeah, and people seem

865
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:22,119
to be mostly pretty cool on it. I think it seems more spinoff fee

866
00:56:22,159 --> 00:56:24,800
than you would even want from a
spin Yeah. I didn't put much time

867
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:29,079
into it, but it was like, this is pretty basics. That sounds

868
00:56:29,079 --> 00:56:32,960
about right. What's the score so
far? I'm not Let's see. Let's

869
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:36,840
see. So Mike has ten points
on the board, Jeff has six.

870
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:42,239
Great yes in the community, I
rate Observer and Cranes both got right with

871
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:49,840
seventy four Super Mario RPG. Mike
went with eighty six, Jeff went with

872
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,119
eighty five, and it went under
at eighty four, So I guess there,

873
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:59,480
we're both close. Damn crew got
up in eighty four. Game.

874
00:56:59,559 --> 00:57:05,280
Our fifth teen is Avatar Frontiers of
Pandora. Jeff predicted seventy eight. My

875
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,239
predicted seventy nine. I know this. It went under at seventy two.

876
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:14,320
Interesting, huh. So Jeff gets
the point and Disposable Content got it in

877
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,760
the community with their seventy two.
That was all the games. So Mike

878
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:23,159
wins ten to oh man, that's
exciting. Done. You're about the pretty

879
00:57:23,159 --> 00:57:28,480
good there. I think there's somehow, and I think honestly like that kind

880
00:57:28,519 --> 00:57:30,960
off. We go by quarterby quarter
and we count the quarters up. I

881
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:37,239
think we tied well, okay,
never mine first and foremost. The full

882
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,639
community results are on the screen in
the video version. Now if you want

883
00:57:40,679 --> 00:57:45,039
to see how you did, I'm
not naming off all these freaking people,

884
00:57:45,239 --> 00:57:52,039
please check out the via version disposable
content and Ben seven well done. Good

885
00:57:52,079 --> 00:57:55,079
congratulations to both of you. Yeah
you get you get Miamoto thumbs up gifts.

886
00:57:55,079 --> 00:58:00,119
So there it is. It is
now I would like to play this

887
00:58:00,199 --> 00:58:02,400
year that's been included here. Come
on, I don't hear Jeff. I

888
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:08,840
need you to tell me what you
think Assassin's Treed. Okay, yah,

889
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:12,760
yeah, you need it? Get
started over. Okay, you have the

890
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,559
stream audio pulled up. Yeah,
I can hear it. Yep, go

891
00:58:15,599 --> 00:58:19,920
ahead, Jeff, I need you
to tell me what you think assassins Treed.

892
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:28,239
Morage will get Okay, I am
going to google Assassin's Creed. No

893
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,519
you know what, Actually you won't. No more of that, No more

894
00:58:30,519 --> 00:58:36,400
of that. Ok you can't look
at pat scores that we did that last

895
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:42,199
time. That was the whole thing. Bullshit. You're a gammy journalist.

896
00:58:42,199 --> 00:58:45,280
You're one of the biggest gimmy persons
in the lone more. You have enough

897
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:52,119
knowledge inside you game Assassin's Creep.
Now guess it's fucking meta critics for whatever

898
00:58:52,159 --> 00:59:00,360
it is. I'm just saying,
somebody ain't happy. Ain't nobody happy?

899
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:06,480
Yes, sir? A few moments
later, Okay, game number four,

900
00:59:07,119 --> 00:59:10,840
Lords of the Fallen, not the
Lords of the Phone Lords of the Fallen.

901
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:23,559
Wait at the Google that was though, right on all accounts, all

902
00:59:23,639 --> 00:59:28,159
right, So that means that the
final scores in twenty twenty three, quarter

903
00:59:28,199 --> 00:59:30,880
one Mike got it, Quarter two, Jeff got Quarter one Mike got it

904
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:35,440
in the community, Alex and super
Harmon got it. Quarter two Jeff got

905
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,639
it in the community screaming Madden got
it. Quarter three Jeff got it in

906
00:59:38,679 --> 00:59:43,800
the community, Snuffking got it.
And in quarter four Mike Manatti got it

907
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:49,239
and the community disposable content and Ben
seven got it. So, as you

908
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:53,440
can see, there was a tie
between Jeff and Mike. So as Weill

909
00:59:53,519 --> 00:59:57,639
said he would do to break the
tie, he added up all the points

910
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:12,159
Jeff and Mike gained across every core
and the winner is Jeff Club win the

911
01:00:12,199 --> 01:00:15,920
war. Everybody he cheated. He
googled that one quarter, he said,

912
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:19,440
cheating. Oh boy, that one
quarter. He gave it to me early,

913
01:00:19,519 --> 01:00:22,519
and I looked at all the stuff
before and then cool. It was

914
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:28,400
in the rules. It was in
the rules, explicit the rules. He

915
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,880
literally said that, you literally told
you guys that that would happen. We're

916
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:35,400
not doing that no more. That's
clearly because you lost one time when we

917
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,280
did it, so we can't do
that again. One might changes the rules

918
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:43,679
to someone else's. It's like a
little like a little kid kicks the ball

919
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:51,000
to the puts the soccer net where
he kicked it accidentally. Yeah, talking

920
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:57,960
about changing the rules to me.
Congratulations, Congratulations Jeff. Yeah, and

921
01:00:58,039 --> 01:01:00,360
congratulations on that last win too.
Okay, so we'll, by the way,

922
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,679
remind me of chat. He did
use met Craig for the entirety of

923
01:01:02,719 --> 01:01:07,559
twenty twenty three. To remain consistent
in twenty twenty four, we will be

924
01:01:07,639 --> 01:01:13,639
using open critic insteads Why the switch
A because the met Creik hurts him now.

925
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,000
B makes it easier to average scores
from all systems rather than just one.

926
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:22,079
And see three. I forget which
one I'm doing here. Same rule

927
01:01:22,079 --> 01:01:24,760
says it before but now we will
be predicting the open crik for twelve games

928
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:29,159
in quarter one twenty twenty four.
And you know this brings in line with

929
01:01:29,199 --> 01:01:34,679
the all benj you Bob stuff as
well being said gentlemen, I need you

930
01:01:34,679 --> 01:01:37,199
to tell me what you think.
Like a Dragon infinite wealth, we'll get

931
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:44,920
who goes first? Uh you know
what? Yeah, Mike, no,

932
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:47,000
no, no, no, so
yeah, if we if we follow,

933
01:01:47,239 --> 01:01:51,639
goes first, if we follow consistency, yeah, Jeff should go first as

934
01:01:51,679 --> 01:01:55,000
the winner. That seems right,
so over under all right, I'm gonna

935
01:01:55,039 --> 01:02:01,440
go with let's see if I remember
what Guiding Guy was like mid seventies,

936
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,800
this is definitely gonna do better than
that. You want to google it?

937
01:02:05,679 --> 01:02:07,519
Yeah, of course I want to
google it, but it's not out yet.

938
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:09,119
Well, I mean, like the
even if I did the last games,

939
01:02:09,119 --> 01:02:10,599
I don't know. I think this
game is going to do a little

940
01:02:10,599 --> 01:02:20,519
bit better. I'm gonna go with
an eighty five. Hey five, okay,

941
01:02:20,679 --> 01:02:22,840
Mike, I think people are going
to be more happy with this one

942
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:28,320
than that. I'm going to go
like how high can it go? Though?

943
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,360
I wish I could google like a
Dragon of the seventh one, but

944
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:37,239
I'm not a cheater, so I
won't. So I'll say I'll be a

945
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:38,519
little save, say eighty six.
I think better if I don't know how

946
01:02:38,599 --> 01:02:45,199
much. Okay, got it Game
R two Teken eight, So we'll swap

947
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:50,760
here, Mike, you go first. Yeah, this is interesting. It

948
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,199
did. Unrelatedly, actually look at
Tech and seven's review score not that long

949
01:02:53,239 --> 01:02:58,000
ago because I was just curious and
it wasn't amazing. And I'll tell Jeff

950
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,960
it was like low eighties have historically
an off all of the Teken series super

951
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:06,480
well. I was at a preview
event for this one. I think fighting

952
01:03:06,519 --> 01:03:09,199
games in general at a very good
place right now. For what I played

953
01:03:09,239 --> 01:03:14,719
on this, it seems really good. It's gonna be compared to Street Fighter

954
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:19,079
six a lot. Maybe some of
that might be unfavorable in certain ways.

955
01:03:19,599 --> 01:03:29,559
I'll say eighty for for Tech You
me, okay, Jeff. Yeah,

956
01:03:29,719 --> 01:03:34,199
that's tough because it's like probably like
the lowest I would have gone, And

957
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:37,239
I'm like, but I'm also hesitant
about going much higher than that because I

958
01:03:37,239 --> 01:03:45,079
think every point above eighty four is
like tougher and tougher to get. I

959
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:46,519
think I'll just have to I think
I'll just have to go with eighty three.

960
01:03:46,639 --> 01:03:52,320
I'll go with eighty three, okay, Game Narder three, Persona three

961
01:03:52,679 --> 01:04:01,480
reload, Jeff, Yeah, I'll
go with God. People could just be

962
01:04:01,559 --> 01:04:05,920
bananas for this shit. I wonder
if there will be enough, like sort

963
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:11,599
of enough Persona fans out there to
maybe split the feeling a little bit and

964
01:04:11,599 --> 01:04:14,000
they're like, yeah, yeah,
this this, this is great, but

965
01:04:14,119 --> 01:04:16,840
I still like the original better or
I wish it had this thing that I

966
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:21,159
like from some certain version. I'm
gonna go with a ninety, I do,

967
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:26,719
okay, it's also what I was
thinking. Yeah, I think I

968
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:28,639
don't want to say a lot of
that is noise. I bet a lot

969
01:04:28,719 --> 01:04:31,920
of the people who wish Fez or
the female protagonists were there. I don't

970
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:39,320
think that's really going to factor into
review scores. That much higher than a

971
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:45,440
ninety is a lot, though maybe
I'll be a little bit less. I

972
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:46,440
don't know. I thought Jeff was
gonna go lower than ninety. I thought

973
01:04:46,519 --> 01:04:50,320
nineties were album going, So I'm
feeling a little weird going under him.

974
01:04:50,519 --> 01:04:58,360
But I think that's what I'm gonna
to do here. Higher, thank you,

975
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:02,519
fantastic. Oh God, this game
could be. But that's right,

976
01:05:02,559 --> 01:05:06,199
though, people could go absolutely bananas
for this, But I have to remind

977
01:05:06,199 --> 01:05:10,159
myself, like people did go bananas
for Allen Way two, and it's like

978
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:15,199
ever scores at eighty nine, So
I'm this eighty nine. Okay. Gimner

979
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:20,679
four Suicide Squad Kills the Justice League, Oh boy. I don't think it's

980
01:05:20,679 --> 01:05:24,800
gonna be an absolute disaster. I
think there's gonna be to some people who

981
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:28,639
do like it and have some nice
things that's to say about it. But

982
01:05:28,719 --> 01:05:31,679
I think a lot of people are
going to have problems. I will I

983
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:40,000
will predict the sex number. Sixty
nine. Nice, that's tough. I

984
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:43,000
wish you went like low seventies because
that would have been really easy to go

985
01:05:43,079 --> 01:05:49,039
lower. But I think I still
have to go lower. Yeah, I'm

986
01:05:49,039 --> 01:05:53,679
gonna go sixty eight. I'll go
sixty eight. That's tough. That's real

987
01:05:53,800 --> 01:06:00,320
tough. Givener five Hell Divers two. Yeah. Yeah. People love these

988
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:03,079
games, well love the first one, and this one's like seems to be

989
01:06:03,199 --> 01:06:08,599
kind of blowing up in a big
way. I think it's going to hit

990
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:12,800
pretty hard. I think it's going
to do a round. I'll say eighty

991
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:17,760
two. Okay, Yeah, this
is kind of hard. I do wonder

992
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:20,280
a little bit. How well is
going to transition into something a bit more

993
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:29,599
expensive, right, I still want
to believe. I will say eighty Okay,

994
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:33,760
get in our Sex Mario versus Donkey
Kong, the remake coming out for

995
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:41,039
a switch. Yeah, there's a
there's lack of excitement on this one.

996
01:06:41,079 --> 01:06:44,079
I think it's going to play well. I think it's going to be aesthetically

997
01:06:44,199 --> 01:06:49,599
not super interesting. I'll go like
seventy two on this one. Okay,

998
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:54,840
Yeah, I think it's going to
be higher than that, but not much

999
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,639
higher than that. I think seventy
twos are kind of a I get anywhere

1000
01:06:57,639 --> 01:07:00,159
in the seventies is pretty safe.
So I'll go with seventy three, just

1001
01:07:00,239 --> 01:07:04,880
kind of hope, hope that it
like surprises people, all right. Game

1002
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:14,480
number seven Skull and Bones allegedly for
real this time, Jesus Christ, I

1003
01:07:14,599 --> 01:07:18,920
will go I'll go with the sex
number sixty nine. Nice, I will

1004
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:24,440
go lower with a sixty five.
Ooh, nobly lower? Okay? Okay.

1005
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:29,960
Game number eight Final Fantasy seven Rebirth, the game that allegedly came out

1006
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:33,320
in December of last year. Mike, Oh my god, he doesn't let

1007
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:40,840
go of a grudge. It's hard
because I mean if obviously, if a

1008
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:45,360
remake was incredible, it's it was
reviewed well, but it's not like it

1009
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:48,119
was reviewed and I'm trying to remember. I think it was more mid eighties

1010
01:07:48,159 --> 01:07:54,800
it's reviews than like super high eighties
or definitely wasn't in the nineties. This

1011
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:58,559
game's going to have something's going forward
with maybe a bit more the big open

1012
01:07:58,599 --> 01:08:00,480
world and more characters. I don't
know what that necessarily makes is going to

1013
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:04,440
make it better inherently than remake,
except that people are more invested in this

1014
01:08:04,559 --> 01:08:10,360
vision. It's also probably going to
have more plot deviations that might really get

1015
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:15,399
certain people upset or make people feel
differently. So that's a concern. I

1016
01:08:15,479 --> 01:08:19,279
will I want to go eighties,
and since this is Final Fantasy seven,

1017
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:26,600
maybe I will just say in eighty
seven, okay, okay, I'm happy

1018
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:29,359
because I was thinking like eighty six
that entire time, and that means I

1019
01:08:29,359 --> 01:08:32,960
could do eighty six. But let
me think here. I wonder if there's

1020
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:38,920
more selection bias because there's fewer people
or like the people that like Final Fantasy

1021
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:42,720
seven remake will really want to review
this one. Sure, but I don't

1022
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:45,399
know. I don't know if that's
enough that it would take a lot of

1023
01:08:45,399 --> 01:08:48,279
that to like push it into the
higher eighties. I think so. Yeah,

1024
01:08:48,359 --> 01:08:53,800
I think I'm comfortable sticking at eighty
six. Please eighty six. I

1025
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,439
can tell you're right, Mike has
gained the point because I'm going to slip

1026
01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:59,399
a twenty to everyone to give it
a ten out of ten. Oh,

1027
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:08,359
well, that's in your metacritical league
choice choice. What all right? Game

1028
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:15,560
number nine is Alone in the Dark
Jeff, Yeah, I am gonna go

1029
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:23,960
with a flat seventy. Interesting no
faith in this one or not a law

1030
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:27,439
of faith? Right? Yeah?
I think it's gonna be a game that

1031
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,840
some people like and most people dismiss. They haven't have they showed much of

1032
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:34,119
this yet? I don't remember.
There's a part of we wants to be

1033
01:09:34,159 --> 01:09:40,039
like, is this really coming out? But uh, I don't know.

1034
01:09:40,159 --> 01:09:45,319
This one's real hard. I mean
it's been has been doing so good.

1035
01:09:45,399 --> 01:09:48,600
Who's even making this? I don't
know. They try they try to bring

1036
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:53,079
back Alone in the Dark like every
fifteen years or so, like God demands

1037
01:09:53,119 --> 01:10:02,319
it. I think it's THQ who's
making it. Wasn't it them? HQ?

1038
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:09,239
Yeah? Yeah, I mean the
one? What the hell? Great?

1039
01:10:09,399 --> 01:10:14,359
Uh? I will say, sixty
eight. I don't feel it.

1040
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:16,239
I don't feel I feeling the sex
number of this time not feeling. No,

1041
01:10:16,319 --> 01:10:18,600
I can't go to that. Well
again, No, it hasn't earned

1042
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:26,000
it. Okay, fair enough,
getting over time Dragon's dogma too. This

1043
01:10:26,119 --> 01:10:33,399
is Mikey Yeah, sorry, Okay, that's interesting. Interesting. Capcom has

1044
01:10:33,399 --> 01:10:38,359
been on a roll. I've gotten
over excited about that before and gave like

1045
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:44,319
exo primal prediction in the eighties at
one point. So I think this is

1046
01:10:44,359 --> 01:10:47,600
going to do very well. I
think it's still it's not going to feel

1047
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:49,600
like the most expensive thing in the
world, which I think is going to

1048
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:55,039
bump some people out or bother some
people. It's going to be cheesy and

1049
01:10:55,079 --> 01:10:58,399
hokey. Some you're gonna enjoy that. I think it's gonna be very fun.

1050
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:01,039
I think it's gonna be very big. I will go with in eighty

1051
01:11:01,039 --> 01:11:08,119
five Okay, and Hollywood, Jeff, what do you think? Uh?

1052
01:11:08,119 --> 01:11:11,600
He called me next. I have
sunglasses now on audio listeners. My glasses

1053
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:18,479
are for the week. Yeah,
while wearing sunglasses, regular glasses for a

1054
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:21,640
vision, I don't need I never
wear sunglasses. I don't need them.

1055
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:28,680
Well yeah, yeah, but you're
saying that your vision's week eighty five?

1056
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:30,520
Is that what he did? He
said eighty five, Yes, And that

1057
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:34,680
sucks. It's like a good that's
a good guess, Mike. I think

1058
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:40,920
that's a really good guess for tracking
stalk. But yeah, this sucks because

1059
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:43,720
I don't want it, Like eighty
four doesn't feel right, but eighty six

1060
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:46,000
feels too high. And every it
felt like, you know, we just

1061
01:11:46,079 --> 01:11:48,880
had that results, and it felt
like every time we had one of these

1062
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:51,920
where we're like back to back,
the person that went lower I won every

1063
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:59,640
time except for once maybe twice.
But you know, I'll just go with

1064
01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:04,600
my gut and I'll say eighty six, Okay, Game Nuarer eleven, Princess

1065
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:10,760
Pete Showtime. This is tough.
That's tough. I want it to be

1066
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,720
good, and I don't have no
idea what to really expect. Yeah,

1067
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:17,840
it's good. I mean it's very
easily could be them farting out a game

1068
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:23,880
at the end of the generation that
they don't really care about. But maybe

1069
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:30,159
it's good. I think it's gonna
get a seventy nine. Okay. I

1070
01:12:30,199 --> 01:12:31,560
hope it does better than that,
though. Yeah, I guess I gotta

1071
01:12:32,319 --> 01:12:35,920
make the optimistic play here, even
though I think that's very that's a very

1072
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:44,960
good guess. I'll go eighty one, eighty one. Alrighty game Narber twelve,

1073
01:12:45,159 --> 01:12:51,680
Rise of the Ronan, Mike,
Uh yeah, sorry about at that.

1074
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:57,159
Ugh, the snake is confusing me. Rise of the Ronan literally thinking,

1075
01:12:57,159 --> 01:13:01,199
I'm glad just doing this one.
Guess what, I'm glad Mike's doing

1076
01:13:01,239 --> 01:13:08,239
this one. It's just like this
is like, you know, Soul's like

1077
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:12,239
number five hundred two. This was
the one that I think a lot of

1078
01:13:12,279 --> 01:13:15,920
people have thought looked good and I
was more dismissive of So I think it'll

1079
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:18,720
be okay. I think it's gonna
be like a seventy six. Okay.

1080
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:25,399
If there's one thing I've learned from
doing this one thing, it's that when

1081
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:30,600
Mike underrest or has low opinion of
a game before it comes out, always

1082
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:35,680
go lower. Seventy five you're right, really right, Always go lower because

1083
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:41,279
mikel usually Mike's actually usually right about
these, and then he's not right enough.

1084
01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:45,800
Like that's what happens. I don't
see that happening. I don't see

1085
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:51,720
if going seventy five it's probably gonna
be better than that. I don't know

1086
01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:55,520
how much better, but yeah,
I don't see it. I'm gonna believe

1087
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:59,319
in this strategy because it has worked
before. Okay, sorry, I screwed

1088
01:13:59,399 --> 01:14:00,960
up the frame. Mike's always like
there are a lot of games. Mike's

1089
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:02,880
like, I don't feel this at
all. And then and then we could

1090
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:05,760
we get through the results and it's
like, how did Mike put have a

1091
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:09,279
higher score than Jeff? And Jeff
got the point. I'm like, yeah,

1092
01:14:09,279 --> 01:14:14,760
I don't know either. People are
wondering. Yeah, everyone's wondering.

1093
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:18,239
Well, that is it. That
is all the games we have. Nice

1094
01:14:18,279 --> 01:14:21,880
thank you here from Wolf for letting
him dude. Thanks you will be games.

1095
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:25,760
Thank you so much, He says, thank you to Jeff, Mike,

1096
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:30,399
Sean and Bop for all of our
participation in good luck to the dogs

1097
01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:32,800
and the community in twenty twenty four. Now, a quick reminder, let

1098
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:36,359
me see if I got this framed
up right so it shows up on stream.

1099
01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:41,479
It's a little small, but uh, I might go fix that.

1100
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:43,800
Hang on, nope, no,
no, no, oh there it is.

1101
01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:47,720
You don't know about control the whole
ConTroll? Oh yeah, it doesn't

1102
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:51,119
really work on Google docs. Mike. Anyways, A quick summary here is

1103
01:14:51,199 --> 01:14:56,359
that for like a Dragon Infinite Well, Jeff got eighty five on the board.

1104
01:14:56,560 --> 01:15:00,640
Mike is predicting an eighty six Tech
and eight. Jeff goes eighty three,

1105
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:03,960
Mike goes eighty four. Persona three
Reload. Jeff says ninety. Mike

1106
01:15:04,039 --> 01:15:10,279
says eighty nine. Suicide Squad.
Jeff is going sixty eight, Mike is

1107
01:15:10,319 --> 01:15:14,520
going sixty nine. Nice Hell Divers
two. Jeff says eighty two. Mike

1108
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:18,439
says eighty Mario versus Donkey Kong.
Jeff says seventy three. Mike says seventy

1109
01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:21,960
two. Skull and Bones. Nobody
has much faith in that. Jeff says

1110
01:15:23,039 --> 01:15:28,600
sixty nine. Nice. Mike says
sixty five. File Fantasy seven Rebirth.

1111
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:32,399
Jeff says eighty six. Mike says
eighty seven. Alone in the Dark.

1112
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:36,319
Not much faith here either. Jeff
says seventy, Mike says sixty eight.

1113
01:15:38,119 --> 01:15:41,520
Dragon's Dogma two. Jeff is going
with an eighty six, while Mike goes

1114
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:45,960
with eighty five. Princess Peach Showtime. Jeff is predicting seventy nine. Mike

1115
01:15:45,039 --> 01:15:48,560
is predicting eighty one and closing out
Rise of the Ronin. Jeff will go

1116
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:51,560
with a seventy five, while Mike
will go with a seventy six. So

1117
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:57,159
at the end of the quarter we
will see how everything shakes out and where

1118
01:15:57,560 --> 01:16:00,319
all the scores land on open critic. All right, thank you for doing

1119
01:16:00,359 --> 01:16:02,920
that, Sean Wolf again, thank
you so much. This is a lot

1120
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:05,159
of fun. The worst part about
this game. So now we got to

1121
01:16:05,159 --> 01:16:08,319
wait three months before we get the
results, and I hate that. I

1122
01:16:08,319 --> 01:16:12,319
wish we could do it right away, but obviously we are bound by linear

1123
01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:14,960
time. It's a good way to
remind me of what the big games coming

1124
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,520
out the next few months are.
Yes, it's very useful for that.

1125
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:21,640
All right, let's go ahead and
get back into here. There we go.

1126
01:16:23,359 --> 01:16:26,119
All right, what we're gonna do
now is we're going to take one

1127
01:16:26,159 --> 01:16:29,840
more quick break, at least one
more quick break, and then get back

1128
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,319
into the rest of the show doing
the best games of twenty twelve. Back

1129
01:16:32,359 --> 01:16:40,520
after this, and we're back and
it's time to decide the best games of

1130
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:43,800
twenty twelve. My voice cracked older
today, Mike. I should have told

1131
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:45,159
you guys that my voice cracked.
It was weird. That hasn't happened to

1132
01:16:45,199 --> 01:16:47,720
me in a very long time,
even when you do it though, it's

1133
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:50,640
not that bad. Your voice is
pretty deep. When I by voice cracks,

1134
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:54,439
it's rough. It's a rough time
for everybody. Yeah, it makes

1135
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:57,319
everyone uncomfortable. And it was even
quite a great It was more like my

1136
01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:00,119
voice just kind of gave out for
a second. It was like, oh

1137
01:17:00,199 --> 01:17:02,000
no, please just stop. So
yeah, it wasn't quite as bad as

1138
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:04,159
it has been like when I was
a kid or a teenager. I should

1139
01:17:04,199 --> 01:17:08,520
say, all right, well,
here's what we do. Me and Mike

1140
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:11,159
come up with the list of games
from the year twenty twelve that came out

1141
01:17:11,159 --> 01:17:14,600
in the United States. We decided
the top five. We order them from

1142
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:17,239
one to five, one being the
best. Mike, where do you want

1143
01:17:17,239 --> 01:17:19,960
to start? Yeah, this is
a bit of a weird year. It's

1144
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:24,000
not one of the guests. But
there's plenty of good games, definitely good

1145
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:26,640
games. There's a lot of like
sequels that are like, well, that's

1146
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:29,439
not as good as the one the
right before. Right. I think we're

1147
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:32,239
we're kind of at a period where
a lot of the like Xbox three sixty

1148
01:17:32,279 --> 01:17:35,760
era franchises that had started then were
getting kind of long in the tooth.

1149
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:40,840
But there's still some exciting things happening. My actual game of the year this

1150
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:45,760
year, I remember was Fire Emblem
Awakening on the kind of three DS,

1151
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:49,239
A giant turning point for that series. I was, you know, I

1152
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:53,920
liked Firebom. Okay, but this
one really guy took some to meet man.

1153
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:56,600
This had a ninety two medic critic
I don't know if Firebom was ever

1154
01:17:56,640 --> 01:18:01,760
getting a ninety Metacritic again, what
t in the US? Oh my goodness,

1155
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:05,960
we just had this conversation right before
you you know, Okay, well,

1156
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:09,640
good oh, Sean. This is
why I'm glad that You're always having

1157
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:13,640
like good conversations while I'm away to
help I do what I can't Mike,

1158
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:15,680
just for you, I guess,
well, Firemake You must have been my

1159
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:17,479
game the year twenty thirteen. Then
well, then shiit twenty twelve sucks.

1160
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:23,079
Yeah, twenty twelve is rough.
It is fire Mom Awake, and it

1161
01:18:23,159 --> 01:18:26,920
hadn't been on this list might have
been like the biggest game on the tarlest

1162
01:18:27,079 --> 01:18:30,119
number one. It would have been
number one for sure, without a doubt.

1163
01:18:30,199 --> 01:18:31,359
Okay, well, you know what
was my game of the year this

1164
01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:35,199
year? Actually it's still a portable
game. It's Gravity Rush. Actually,

1165
01:18:35,359 --> 01:18:40,239
yeah, I figured Gravity Rush would
come up into this. I have never

1166
01:18:40,279 --> 01:18:44,399
played Gravity Rush. There's a remastered
version of it that is good. Gravity

1167
01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:48,920
Rush was a Vita Launch window game, perhaps maybe if not launch. It

1168
01:18:49,199 --> 01:18:54,880
is an open world kind of in
the superhero side. But the gimmick here

1169
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:58,560
is that you can reorient the gravity
whenever you want to make it so you

1170
01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:02,479
basically can fly or run up walls. It's a really pretty art style.

1171
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:08,319
It's a little Miyazaki esque that's also
doing kind of its own thing. It's

1172
01:19:08,359 --> 01:19:13,680
like a sort of a floating steampunk
city. Just a very unique aesthetic with

1173
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:18,399
likable characters and just that simple gameplay
loop and the mechanic of messing around with

1174
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:23,359
the gravity and then the combat that's
there also works really well and you can

1175
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:27,520
fling box and stuff. I loved
Gravity Rush. This was again an early

1176
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:30,840
Vita game, so having this kind
of experience as an exclusive on the Vita,

1177
01:19:31,119 --> 01:19:34,880
and like you know, we were
used to having some open world games

1178
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:39,680
on portals before, but this was
a different level for that. I absolutely

1179
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:45,199
adore Gravity Rush. Yeah, I
there's a lot of games that I do

1180
01:19:45,359 --> 01:19:48,479
think will probably make this list that
I like. There's no one that like

1181
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:53,199
just stands out as the obvious one, and they are like all games that

1182
01:19:53,319 --> 01:19:56,359
I like, you know, using
that fire moment Awakening again not on the

1183
01:19:56,439 --> 01:20:00,239
list. All these games are smaller
and just about every way than that game.

1184
01:20:00,399 --> 01:20:04,359
So to keep that in mind,
I think I'll probably start here with

1185
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:11,239
FTL. Faster than Light. I
adore FTL. It is a really good

1186
01:20:11,359 --> 01:20:15,359
idea of like ways to express the
Rogue Light genre of like of making runs

1187
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:18,880
and trying to get better each time
and trying to make some improvements and figuring

1188
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:23,720
out the way it works. It
also has incredible music, and I just

1189
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:29,199
really like the core gameplay of managing
the ship and having a certain number of

1190
01:20:29,279 --> 01:20:31,880
people and the feeling of getting attacked
in parts of the ship but coming under

1191
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:38,159
attack and having to like you know, put out fires figuratively speaking and literally

1192
01:20:38,239 --> 01:20:41,840
sometimes Faster than Light is a very
good game. Something I haven't played in

1193
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:45,680
quite some time, but boy,
during those years when I was playing it,

1194
01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:48,880
it was like all consuming. Yeah
I played a bit of it.

1195
01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:53,600
I didn't get super deep too it, but it was definitely good. I

1196
01:20:54,199 --> 01:20:59,840
don't dispute that at all. So
Person of Wore Golden came out this year,

1197
01:21:00,159 --> 01:21:00,880
not even in the US. I
had to look, but we gave

1198
01:21:01,199 --> 01:21:04,800
normal person of four kind of the
level already. I don't know if we

1199
01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:08,560
really need to give the updated version. I'm gonna write it down here,

1200
01:21:09,399 --> 01:21:13,000
but we'll see again. I think
it'll be hard to even in a lighter

1201
01:21:13,079 --> 01:21:15,840
year, but we'll see Persona four
golden still. I know a lot of

1202
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:19,199
people love that an actual twenty twelve
game Journey. Journey was super fun,

1203
01:21:19,319 --> 01:21:25,920
definitely, I think the best of
that game company's output, because like stuff

1204
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:29,279
like Flower was cool or even though
it would flow, this one felt not

1205
01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:31,760
that those aren't games, but this
one was more of a game in a

1206
01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:36,159
lot of ways, and there was
something pretty incredible to just be partnered up

1207
01:21:36,199 --> 01:21:41,079
with some random other player in going
on this actual journey with them, and

1208
01:21:41,199 --> 01:21:45,039
you find kind of unique ways to
communicate with them, right, you don't

1209
01:21:45,119 --> 01:21:46,840
just have an open mic. You
kind of have to figure it out.

1210
01:21:48,079 --> 01:21:54,319
The aesthetic is incredible, it still
looks gorgeous. Journey is a pretty hard

1211
01:21:54,359 --> 01:22:00,560
game to forget. I this is
my I think my favorite of this series

1212
01:22:00,359 --> 01:22:03,960
as a franchise. I love it's
up there. I think it probably is

1213
01:22:04,039 --> 01:22:10,439
on most days number one for me
of this series a Trials evolution in Yeah,

1214
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:14,520
this is when they really kind of
figured out how to expand on Trials

1215
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:16,840
HD in a major way, with
like a ton of tracks. And the

1216
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:21,479
tracks were so inventive and really really
hard, but in a way that felt

1217
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:25,720
like it made a lot of sense. And the ways that they got difficult

1218
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:30,279
over time obviously just a nice difficulty
curve, and then you would like just

1219
01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:33,920
would just keep going the difficulty curve
would just keep going to the point where

1220
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:38,720
it's like, Okay, I can
no longer actually do any of these tracks

1221
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:41,840
in one run. Now I'm just
trying to see if I could even get

1222
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:45,520
to the end and hitting these checkpoints. The way I normally play Trials is

1223
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:49,319
try to actually set a time with
no faults, and that's that's cool up

1224
01:22:49,359 --> 01:22:53,319
to a point, and then you
get to some of these expert stages and

1225
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:56,079
you have to just be like,
Okay, this is a challenge to see

1226
01:22:56,079 --> 01:22:59,119
if I can even figure out how
to do this one jump and then get

1227
01:22:59,159 --> 01:23:01,760
to the next checkpoint with is right
there, but like getting my bike to

1228
01:23:02,279 --> 01:23:05,439
do the bunny hop over to this
sheer cliff and not bounce off it,

1229
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:10,359
being able to actually grip under the
wall and climb up. When it actually

1230
01:23:10,399 --> 01:23:14,680
works, it's a huge, huge
accomplishment feeling that you get, and Trial's

1231
01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:17,600
evolution sort of nailed that right away, and those those tracks really are very

1232
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:21,880
very good. Oh, Sticker Star
came out this year, No wonder,

1233
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:26,199
it's such a curse in I was
gonna at my joke when I was going

1234
01:23:26,279 --> 01:23:28,760
to make a joke like paper Mario
Sticker Star just to see your action.

1235
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:30,039
But I know I knew you wouldn't
buy it, So I don't know why,

1236
01:23:30,119 --> 01:23:32,760
Like that's the game that gets under
my skin. They're definitely worth Why

1237
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:36,720
is like that's the game that pisses
me off. I had to review it,

1238
01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:40,119
so I think that's a big part
of it for me. I hate

1239
01:23:40,199 --> 01:23:43,399
that game, despise it. I
get mad. I give it a six

1240
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:45,800
point five, and I get mad
at myself because it should have been way

1241
01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:53,199
lower. Okay, Borderlands Too was
actually pretty pretty great. Yes, Like

1242
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:55,880
they took what was a good game
at the first Borders Lands, and the

1243
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:59,920
sequel expanded on it in all the
right ways. You had a very memorable

1244
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:04,520
antagonist with handsome Jack. All four
of those classes felt good. It was

1245
01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:11,560
a fun campaign solo or multiplayer I
think this is still the in terms of

1246
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:14,520
games that are just trying to be
Diablo, but as a first person shooter,

1247
01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:18,399
nothing has done that better than this. Yeah. I like Borderlands two

1248
01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:21,840
a bunch. I played way more
Borderlands one, but Borderlines two was still

1249
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:27,520
very good. I God, I'm
like sticking with the indies for now.

1250
01:24:28,159 --> 01:24:30,800
I do want to get out of
the indies eventually. But Mark of the

1251
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:34,680
Ninja is a game that I love. I love Mark of the Ninja,

1252
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:42,119
a two D stealth action game that
has really, really really smart stealth features

1253
01:24:42,159 --> 01:24:45,920
in terms of giving you all the
data you need about what the enemies can

1254
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:48,960
see and where the shadows are so
you could be safe and so you could

1255
01:24:49,079 --> 01:24:55,319
just do, like just feel like
super hardcore ninja shit, and then when

1256
01:24:55,319 --> 01:24:59,520
you do pop out of the shadows
to kill somebody, it's super satisfying.

1257
01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:04,199
It's from It's from Clay kl k
l e I, and their artwork and

1258
01:25:04,279 --> 01:25:08,439
animation is top notch, and it
always was and it definitely was in Market

1259
01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:14,239
the Ninja a game that looks really
nice. It just plays fantastic. How

1260
01:25:14,279 --> 01:25:17,640
do you feel about Farcai three in
the year twenty twenty four. I'm not

1261
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:23,760
someone who thinks too fondly on Far
Cry three personally Mike. But I don't

1262
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:26,880
hold anything against it either. Yeah, I liked it at the time.

1263
01:25:27,119 --> 01:25:30,840
It's kind of not its fault that
like a ton of other games borrowed from

1264
01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:34,560
it. Probably maybe the most influential
game of this year in a lot of

1265
01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:40,520
ways. Yeah, almost certainly became
a bit farc Cry three. I liked

1266
01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:45,239
it. It's not something I think
about too fondly these days. Yeah,

1267
01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:46,960
and also just feels like I don't
want to be a far Cry on the

1268
01:25:47,039 --> 01:25:50,880
list. I know. Well,
but Dragon Mike actually have a shot,

1269
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:56,359
so yeah, it might for sure. For sure. It's weird seeing this,

1270
01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:59,119
like because yeah, like that game
was reviewed super well. Mass Effect

1271
01:25:59,199 --> 01:26:03,520
three is critic was a ninety three, which is pretty wild for outside of

1272
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:08,479
Andrameda, a game most people will
say is the worse in that series.

1273
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:11,800
It's that trilogy. It's still very
good, I guess, but there is

1274
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:15,000
something about it that I'm just nonplussed
about in terms of like giving a word.

1275
01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:19,760
This series never did anything for me. Jeff, I'm curious because this

1276
01:26:20,039 --> 01:26:24,439
was the game most people gave Game
of the Year two. I remember said

1277
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:27,479
a telltale Oh oh, yeah,
we did give a Game of the Year

1278
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:32,359
games Beat Mike. I like this
still at the time, I loved it.

1279
01:26:33,239 --> 01:26:35,399
I don't know if I'm like in
a mood to like argue with you

1280
01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:40,439
to get it onto the list and
I's going to be room on this list.

1281
01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:43,079
Yeah, I means, let's put
it up here. We'll see.

1282
01:26:43,239 --> 01:26:45,119
I don't know if there's actually going
to be a room at the end of

1283
01:26:45,159 --> 01:26:48,520
the day, now that I'm like
looking at things. This was a moment

1284
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:51,439
where everyone went like, hey,
wait a second, games can do this

1285
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:54,720
stuff. And of course there's a
huge audience. It's like, listen,

1286
01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:59,399
we've been playing visual novels for a
very long time. But the writing in

1287
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:02,760
The Walking Dead season one actually legitimately
is very very good. A lot of

1288
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:08,359
great writers worked on that stuff,
and and yeah, I I really did

1289
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:12,439
enjoy that game. Let's let's keep
it here. Let's keep it on the

1290
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:15,880
list, the shorter list, and
see where it goes from here. Do

1291
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:18,399
you want you want to pick another
one that you actually care about? I

1292
01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:21,560
guess I picked that one. You
go ahead, h X comm out of

1293
01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:24,560
me unknown. I was wondering,
Yeah, I was kind of hoping you

1294
01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:26,960
bring that one up. Uh,
yeah, go ahead. Yeah, I

1295
01:27:27,319 --> 01:27:34,159
love X comm Enemy Unknown. It's
fantastic for Axis Strategy combat. Uh,

1296
01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:38,680
you know, get in the cover. It's all very easy to understand.

1297
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:43,039
You feel like you have a good
grasp of the battlefield, but everyone is

1298
01:27:43,079 --> 01:27:46,199
always in danger. You have that
like tough for Axis math where they're not

1299
01:27:46,239 --> 01:27:49,600
going to fuck around and pretend like
ninety percent doesn't mean one out of ten

1300
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:54,680
times you're gonna get got uh And
I like that. And then like the

1301
01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:58,159
main managing of the base, and
then the managing of your your your your

1302
01:27:58,399 --> 01:28:00,199
crew, and then like you know, being able to name your crew after

1303
01:28:00,239 --> 01:28:02,880
your friends and stuff, and then
one of them dies and then you got

1304
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:06,479
to like bring in a different friend
or whatever. It's a good game that

1305
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:11,680
has a good combination of, you
know, a decent narrative and then a

1306
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:15,399
lot of cool emergent storytelling that happens
kind of similar to what we were doing

1307
01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:18,039
Tail of the Sun earlier today.
Yeah, X commented me. Unknown does

1308
01:28:18,079 --> 01:28:21,319
a really stand out one for me? Yeah, I think that's pretty much

1309
01:28:21,319 --> 01:28:24,880
a lot, to be honest.
Yeah, I think I always want to

1310
01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:28,399
play even more of this game.
I never did complete a run, and

1311
01:28:28,439 --> 01:28:31,159
I kind of feel bad about that, but it was clearly very good and

1312
01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:34,680
it felt refreshing, you know.
I think this was doing a thing that

1313
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:39,199
which was smart at the time,
like really giving you interesting things to do

1314
01:28:39,479 --> 01:28:43,359
between the battles, and I did
like exactly the stuff they really nailed that.

1315
01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:45,640
They nailed that stuff right out of
the gate with that. I mean,

1316
01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:48,199
it's what worse with firemon Awakening also, which is kind of this year.

1317
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:50,760
We'll thought about it more. But
yeah, I think everyone was really

1318
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:55,880
figuring that stuff out, thanking some
lessons from perhaps the Persona games which hit

1319
01:28:55,960 --> 01:28:59,680
a few years before, a couple
of years before this. Mike, do

1320
01:28:59,720 --> 01:29:00,960
you do you want me to go
to the to the podcast producers or do

1321
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:03,479
you have a mores go? Because
like there's few I bet I know some

1322
01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:08,119
that people are gonna suggest. Let
me say one that I don't know anyone

1323
01:29:08,159 --> 01:29:13,359
else cares about. I think PlayStation
All Stars Battle Royal is actually really good.

1324
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:16,079
I think I think a lot of
people are wrong about that game.

1325
01:29:16,279 --> 01:29:18,920
I thought that was a lot of
fun. I wish I could play it

1326
01:29:19,039 --> 01:29:23,479
right now still, Thank you,
Sean. I thought I had a really

1327
01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:26,880
fun roster. They even added Captain
gravity Rush to it. And DALC which

1328
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:30,000
was fun. God, I wish
we could get another one of those.

1329
01:29:30,319 --> 01:29:32,800
It bums me out. What percentage
number do you put on us ever getting

1330
01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:40,560
another one of those? One of
those a zero like maybe some other PlayStation

1331
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:44,359
like crossover fighting game. Okay,
maybe more. But it's so it's so

1332
01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:47,560
weird, like like what ownership does
place? You should really have to things

1333
01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:51,439
like eight Escape or some of these
other franchises that were represented there anymore.

1334
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:57,439
Like last even kind of heard about
them was all the cute cameos in uh

1335
01:29:58,039 --> 01:30:02,359
in ash in the in Astros rest
Mission not Rescue Mission play Road, Yeah,

1336
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:05,319
and like that game was like,
man, yeah, places you shouldn't

1337
01:30:05,319 --> 01:30:09,119
have used to have a lot of
great friends that they would do anything with.

1338
01:30:09,319 --> 01:30:15,279
Now, all right, let's start
with these podcast producers recommendations Hospital drops,

1339
01:30:15,319 --> 01:30:19,279
Hotline Miami on us. Mister Buller
said, Dishonored. Let's do with

1340
01:30:19,399 --> 01:30:26,079
those two real quick. I've played
hot Hotline Miami. It honestly just never

1341
01:30:26,199 --> 01:30:29,159
did much for me. I don't
know what it was. Yeah, I

1342
01:30:29,680 --> 01:30:33,159
never felt much drive to try that. I do. Like the first Dishonored

1343
01:30:33,159 --> 01:30:35,840
Man twenty twelve is so weird because
when you first say I'm like, that's

1344
01:30:35,880 --> 01:30:40,039
not that long ago, and then
I do math it's twelve years ago.

1345
01:30:40,439 --> 01:30:44,439
Yeah, this one was really one
is weird. It's one of the best

1346
01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:49,039
games that I don't think about ever. Yeah, I I I legitimately have

1347
01:30:49,119 --> 01:30:51,840
never really gotten into Dishonored. I
played a lot of them, and I

1348
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:55,119
just have never gotten into them.
I don't know what it is. I

1349
01:30:55,279 --> 01:30:59,439
like blinking, that's cool. Yeah, the bilities were fun. Yeah,

1350
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:01,880
it's busy as are cool. But
like even like when Disorder two came out,

1351
01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:03,960
I was kind of like, no, I don't need to do that

1352
01:31:04,039 --> 01:31:08,000
anymore. Being part of it for
me is like the whale oil setting,

1353
01:31:08,039 --> 01:31:12,600
where it's like it's so overbearing it's
hard for me to lack processive. It's

1354
01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:15,399
oppressive. Yep. It is a
bit much like it's like Gatherre's rats everywhere

1355
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:19,800
because there is diseased and gross and
I'm like, now why I'm coming to

1356
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:21,880
games. Actually, I don't want
to see rats here. You're right,

1357
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:27,960
this is pretty unpleasant. I agree. I would consider it, but you

1358
01:31:28,039 --> 01:31:30,880
see more down it than me,
So listen, if you want it on

1359
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:33,159
the top five, I'm not going
to stand in your way all that much.

1360
01:31:33,199 --> 01:31:36,000
On it because I know people love
Dishonored. It's just it's one of

1361
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:39,680
those ones that's not for me.
I don't think it's bad in any way.

1362
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:42,119
Put it on the list the case
we look at him, we're really

1363
01:31:42,239 --> 01:31:45,199
like, oh, maybe actually dishonored. But I don't know. Okay,

1364
01:31:45,159 --> 01:31:49,800
we'll see that sounds right, okay. Craws MC basketball says far Cry three.

1365
01:31:50,319 --> 01:31:54,279
Bench JC says mass Effect three a
game. I like, I don't

1366
01:31:54,319 --> 01:31:57,359
want to put it in a top
five. Yeah, me neither. It's

1367
01:31:57,399 --> 01:32:00,479
not even just the ending, which
was a whole thing, but no,

1368
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:02,359
no, you know it's the thing
that's No, it's not as good as

1369
01:32:02,399 --> 01:32:06,439
Mass Effect two. It's just not
it's just this just not plays better sometimes

1370
01:32:06,640 --> 01:32:10,760
sure, but whatever, it's just
not like it's not what I came to

1371
01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:13,279
Mass Effect for. And I don't
think they did a very good job with

1372
01:32:13,359 --> 01:32:15,800
it overall. It's kind of the
poser chot of like escalation isn't always better.

1373
01:32:16,039 --> 01:32:17,880
Like they they felt like, well, this is the third one,

1374
01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:21,800
and trilogies are a thing, so
this is like the big finale and it's

1375
01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:27,279
gonna be the biggest, highest stakes
ever and it's kind of exhausting in a

1376
01:32:27,359 --> 01:32:30,600
lot of ways. Yeah. Yeah, it's like that funnel of like you

1377
01:32:30,680 --> 01:32:32,159
start with mass Effect one and they
set up the world and then they're like

1378
01:32:32,359 --> 01:32:36,119
mass Effect two so much more as
possible now, and then mass BAC three.

1379
01:32:36,279 --> 01:32:39,159
By its nature, it's got to
be like, well, we got

1380
01:32:39,279 --> 01:32:42,840
to conclude you get you to a
conclusion, so we're gonna like sort of

1381
01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:45,520
squeeze you back into this like possibility
space that's a little bit smaller. Gonna

1382
01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:49,760
just I don't like it. Uh. Nick Turbo says Persona four Golden.

1383
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:55,520
I'll tell you what, it might
be the best game release this year.

1384
01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:58,880
It's just we are I think we
already had Persona four like as number one,

1385
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:02,119
maybe even or at least pretty high
before. So just making a better

1386
01:33:02,199 --> 01:33:05,279
releasing, the better version of that. I don't know if we need to

1387
01:33:05,319 --> 01:33:09,800
give it a spot for that.
I love Persona for Golden. It is

1388
01:33:10,119 --> 01:33:15,600
fantastic, but it is the director's
cut basically of a game we already gave

1389
01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:18,880
a lot of love to. Hammond
of Texas said Counterstrike Global Offensive. God,

1390
01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:20,720
I remember when that came out and
it was like, oh, the

1391
01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:27,000
new counter Strike is counter Strike more
of an og counter Strike guy and now

1392
01:33:27,079 --> 01:33:30,560
more of a counter Strike two guy. The vanklish Wolf of five says Kiddikerus

1393
01:33:30,640 --> 01:33:34,640
uprising. I really want to play
this game. I hope oday happens.

1394
01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:38,840
I hear good things about it.
I just couldn't. I think initially I

1395
01:33:38,920 --> 01:33:42,159
was just too weirded out by the
control setup. Yeah, I think,

1396
01:33:43,199 --> 01:33:45,880
you know, if it doesn't get
a remaster, I will just find a

1397
01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:49,039
way to play that game on like
a Steam deck or something. We'll see.

1398
01:33:50,079 --> 01:33:55,359
Adam GC says the Simpsons tapped out. I guess that mobile game that

1399
01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:59,479
was very popular, right, Yeah, that game was fun until it was

1400
01:33:59,520 --> 01:34:01,319
one of like big mobile games where
it was literally just like you can't play

1401
01:34:01,359 --> 01:34:06,319
anymore for now, and it was
infuriating. I was thinking about this game

1402
01:34:06,399 --> 01:34:10,960
recently. I actually watched some old
Simpsons episodes not too long ago, and

1403
01:34:11,239 --> 01:34:14,760
uh, we watched You You Only
Move Twice, which I hadn't seen it

1404
01:34:14,840 --> 01:34:18,119
forever, which is the one where
Homer works for like that James Bond villain.

1405
01:34:18,199 --> 01:34:23,640
But he's the nicest guy actually,
Yeah, And I'm like, man,

1406
01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:27,399
Hank's Scorpio is the best Simpsons character. This is actually maybe the best

1407
01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:30,960
episode of the Simpsons and there's a
whole bit there where Holper's asking where you

1408
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:33,199
can get like ham mixed, and
they talk it out and it's like,

1409
01:34:33,239 --> 01:34:36,880
oh, the Hammick district and apparently
you can build a Hammick district in this

1410
01:34:38,039 --> 01:34:44,279
game. And right, have you
told like parts of that story before on

1411
01:34:44,399 --> 01:34:48,119
other podcasts recently? Because I had
the weirdest a javous there. Maybe I'm

1412
01:34:48,159 --> 01:34:56,199
wondering if I did now. I
told my friends recently Nay Sistney, already

1413
01:34:56,279 --> 01:34:58,840
go out, I talk about it
on that. I don't know, Okay,

1414
01:34:59,119 --> 01:35:01,000
it's fine. It was just like
weird, all right, always be

1415
01:35:01,119 --> 01:35:08,000
clothing Corgie. I think here's dropping
Azura's Wrath's Wrath. I've heard things about

1416
01:35:08,039 --> 01:35:10,439
this game. I haven't actually played
it myself, but I've heard things.

1417
01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:13,680
I've I've played a little bit of
it back when I was like trying to

1418
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:15,880
dip it in a bunch of games, and I always meant to go back.

1419
01:35:15,239 --> 01:35:17,680
This would be fun for a stream. I would like to play this.

1420
01:35:18,119 --> 01:35:21,079
Yeah, get to find a way
to get the DLC and just play

1421
01:35:21,119 --> 01:35:26,359
through the whole thing. Wardencliffe says
faster than light or FTL faster than light,

1422
01:35:26,479 --> 01:35:30,199
and I'm right there with you.
Michael Riley says, hit Mike,

1423
01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:34,359
Absolution. I never played this one. I'm very excited that I think it's

1424
01:35:34,399 --> 01:35:38,079
blood Money is coming out to the
Switch this month. Honestly, it might

1425
01:35:38,119 --> 01:35:40,079
have just came I think it might
have just came out, actually, and

1426
01:35:40,159 --> 01:35:43,000
I might play that. Which one
was the one that was like much more,

1427
01:35:43,119 --> 01:35:45,239
just like a cinematic third person shooter. Is that Absolution or Blood Money?

1428
01:35:45,399 --> 01:35:50,960
I don't know. Absoluttion might be
it. Yeah, Razzle Jazzle drops

1429
01:35:51,079 --> 01:35:58,720
Journey on Us. Super Harman also
says Azua's Wrath. Eden Lamenter of Women

1430
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:02,520
says Gravity Rush, Snuffkins says Mark
of the Ninja, Alex says Borderlands to

1431
01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:06,760
Fusion says Call of Duty Black Ops
two. Uh God, that was a

1432
01:36:08,119 --> 01:36:10,720
that's a really good game. I
was checked out at this point, so

1433
01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:13,880
I had to leave that up to
you. I'm going to put it on

1434
01:36:13,960 --> 01:36:16,199
the list at the very least,
because I did have a lot one of

1435
01:36:16,239 --> 01:36:21,840
the first because this one was like
slightly more modern, even slightly futuristic,

1436
01:36:21,960 --> 01:36:26,399
right, it wasn't Cold War anymore. I just remember the trailer. At

1437
01:36:26,399 --> 01:36:29,239
one point the guy from the first
game finds the villain from the first game.

1438
01:36:29,279 --> 01:36:30,800
It says something dramatic to him.
I don't know why. That is

1439
01:36:30,880 --> 01:36:34,600
a weird, vivid memory for me. This one is the one with the

1440
01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:42,000
different endings and different timelines, isn't
it You had to take make decisions in

1441
01:36:42,079 --> 01:36:45,000
your future? Is this is this? Is this the decision one it might

1442
01:36:45,079 --> 01:36:49,079
have been? It was it is
where you like you can't shoot a guy

1443
01:36:49,199 --> 01:36:53,880
on the like on the leg or
like it will change like the next and

1444
01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:58,079
then Black Ops three, Black Ops
three is more like far future, and

1445
01:36:58,119 --> 01:37:00,800
then Black Ops four is the one. There just wasn't a campaign and that's

1446
01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:04,479
what it was. Yeah, there
was like that miss stuff and they had

1447
01:37:04,560 --> 01:37:13,199
like had that weird zombies mill with
those four ocs with like really expensive Yeah,

1448
01:37:13,279 --> 01:37:17,159
that's where I definitely started to release
DLCs full games. Yes, yeah,

1449
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:23,359
it was weird. Jeff, Yeah, I'm back. I'm back.

1450
01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:26,960
All right. Let's see here,
Yeah call Duty Black Ops two. I

1451
01:37:27,319 --> 01:37:31,119
did remember really liking that one.
Input name here says Fez, Mike,

1452
01:37:31,159 --> 01:37:33,680
do what you love for Fez.
I know people who swear by fes and

1453
01:37:33,760 --> 01:37:38,159
I started a couple of times.
It never got into it. It's okay,

1454
01:37:38,399 --> 01:37:41,760
I don't have any great love for
fez. Okay, let's see here,

1455
01:37:42,399 --> 01:37:48,000
swsp says ft l U, Boshi's
cookie says Kiddick or as Uprising Moonlight

1456
01:37:48,079 --> 01:37:55,119
one fifty drops Kingdom Hearts three D
dream drop distance on you. Yeah,

1457
01:37:55,199 --> 01:37:58,239
it's okay, uh. I like
that it has launched back and oh Dom

1458
01:37:58,359 --> 01:38:02,479
level it is surprisingly a full Kingdom
Hearts game, like that's that is always

1459
01:38:02,479 --> 01:38:08,439
something interesting about Kingdom Hearts is when
you expect something to be real spinoffee.

1460
01:38:09,079 --> 01:38:12,119
It's like, oh, this is
a game that is just actually continuing the

1461
01:38:12,199 --> 01:38:15,960
story from Keenum Hearts two and is
leading up to Kingdom Hearts three, which

1462
01:38:15,039 --> 01:38:20,119
was surprising at the time. Matt
Rare Monkey gives us thirty flights of Loving

1463
01:38:20,399 --> 01:38:24,680
another one. I've always heard great
things about Never Tried and Sleeping Dogs,

1464
01:38:24,680 --> 01:38:27,520
a game I played a lot of
enjoyed. Yeah, I always meant to

1465
01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:30,720
go to Sleeping Dogs because it would
always come up for a long time as

1466
01:38:30,720 --> 01:38:34,359
an underrated and underappreciated game. Right, Yes, definitely still want to go

1467
01:38:34,439 --> 01:38:38,439
play Sleeping Dogs at some point.
Do you really like it? Do you

1468
01:38:38,479 --> 01:38:41,159
think it's worth considering? I really
like it. I don't know if it's

1469
01:38:41,199 --> 01:38:44,560
worth considering because I never fell in
love with it or anything like that,

1470
01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:47,039
but it was like, oh,
yeah, this is definitely a really good

1471
01:38:47,159 --> 01:38:51,760
GTA clone in an era when we
were well beyond getting GTA clones, so

1472
01:38:51,880 --> 01:38:58,119
it was always kind of impressive.
Tommy Pencil says Dragon's Dogma the first one.

1473
01:38:58,279 --> 01:39:00,279
Man, that's a twelve years and
we're getting the sequel just now.

1474
01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:04,800
Famously not famously. I would it
be famous, and I haven't played Dragon's

1475
01:39:04,840 --> 01:39:11,720
Dogma, but I haven't. World's
famous is not Dragons Dogma player. Yeah,

1476
01:39:11,760 --> 01:39:15,640
that's almost like Alan Wake levels of
gap between the first and the second

1477
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:17,640
there. That's that's cool. I
feel I feel more bad about not playing

1478
01:39:17,640 --> 01:39:20,600
as sure as a raft to be
honest. Yeah, sure, twenty twelve

1479
01:39:20,680 --> 01:39:26,680
games. Uh, Jet Jetpink says
Lego, Batman, two DC Superheroes.

1480
01:39:27,199 --> 01:39:29,199
I know this was supposed to be
one of the good ones. I was

1481
01:39:29,359 --> 01:39:32,800
pretty over Lego games at this point. I have to admit I might start

1482
01:39:33,079 --> 01:39:38,600
hopping through these pretty quick. Slide
says xcom Atomy Unknown. Adam Asleep says

1483
01:39:38,640 --> 01:39:42,960
the Walking Dead test. She says
Pokemon Conquest. That was the like strata

1484
01:39:42,960 --> 01:39:50,600
like tactics game. Yeah, I
have no memory ambition. Yes, I

1485
01:39:50,720 --> 01:39:57,600
feel like I feel like Gandolf looking
at those three doors in what the FDA's

1486
01:39:57,640 --> 01:40:00,399
ambition. But Pokemon, well,
I don't know what the fuck nobun his

1487
01:40:00,399 --> 01:40:08,119
ambition is. It's a strategy gamee
what the hell is Pokemon conquests? Low

1488
01:40:08,239 --> 01:40:12,600
rule says Zeno Blake Chronicles, and
Okay, Tiers of the Boomer says Teers

1489
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:15,960
the Boomer robs Bank. Excuse me, says spec ops the line they don't

1490
01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:18,399
want to talk about Zeno Blake Chronicles. Huh, I mean listen, I

1491
01:40:18,439 --> 01:40:20,800
figured it was gonna cut up.
It came up. I mean yeah,

1492
01:40:20,920 --> 01:40:25,119
look, I'm like, I think
Zeno Blake Chronicles is fine. I don't

1493
01:40:25,119 --> 01:40:30,319
think it's some some masterpiece. It
wouldn't make my list. No spec ups

1494
01:40:30,359 --> 01:40:35,199
the line is impressive. It didn't
have the intended effect on me. I

1495
01:40:35,239 --> 01:40:36,840
don't think, not really. I'm
like, yeah, I get it.

1496
01:40:38,560 --> 01:40:40,760
I walked out of it thinking that, not like, oh my god,

1497
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:43,840
that blew me away. That they
have something to say about the effects of

1498
01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:47,039
war. What I was doing this
year, I feel like, more years

1499
01:40:47,600 --> 01:40:49,840
more than any other year. I'm
like, I didn't play that. I

1500
01:40:49,880 --> 01:40:54,760
didn't play that. I didn't play
that. What was were you playing,

1501
01:40:55,800 --> 01:41:00,920
miss of Pandaria? No, I
actually didn't play that expansion. Were you

1502
01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:03,319
to doing that? Well? That
was I doing? In twenty twelve?

1503
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:06,000
You were doing? You were doing
Exploding Barrel. We go back and listen

1504
01:41:06,039 --> 01:41:09,439
to the episode to find out what
the fuck you were doing. I wasn't

1505
01:41:09,479 --> 01:41:13,439
in college anymore. I was definitely
just a bum who barely had a job.

1506
01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:16,119
I was in the industry already,
But like, yeah, what the

1507
01:41:16,199 --> 01:41:20,239
fuck was I doing in twenty twelve? Yeah, because I this is one

1508
01:41:20,279 --> 01:41:24,039
where I'm like, feels like I
played significantly, significantly more than you did.

1509
01:41:24,079 --> 01:41:26,560
This game is than me, and
it's like the years before that were

1510
01:41:26,600 --> 01:41:29,399
the ones where I was like,
like in a tough spot and wasn't playing

1511
01:41:29,479 --> 01:41:32,880
much. Uh yeah, I don't
know was it because if it was an

1512
01:41:32,960 --> 01:41:38,720
expansion after mister Pandaria, I was
definitely playing World a Warcraft and probably too

1513
01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:41,840
much of it. Uh No,
but it is mister Pandaria, so wasn't

1514
01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:45,520
it's mister Paria. I didn't get
back into World Warcraft until twenty fourteen,

1515
01:41:45,560 --> 01:41:48,199
so I don't know what the hell
was doing in twenty twelve. I think,

1516
01:41:48,520 --> 01:41:50,640
is this a sleepy Dogs. Yeah, it looks like a sleepy dog.

1517
01:41:50,920 --> 01:41:56,279
Yeah, sleepy dogs again. Yeah. Uh, Doctor Ryan says ZOMBIEU

1518
01:41:56,760 --> 01:41:59,840
got that this is the Wei you
launch here, right, because the New

1519
01:42:00,159 --> 01:42:03,319
Mario Brothers to you, Nick,
Nick keeps bringing up New Super Mario Brothers

1520
01:42:03,319 --> 01:42:06,279
for you. How do you feel
about that? Listen? I love New

1521
01:42:06,319 --> 01:42:10,600
Super Mario Brothers we way more than
I love New Super Mario Brothers. You.

1522
01:42:10,960 --> 01:42:16,279
I might like you more just because
We's uh, visual fidelity is pretty

1523
01:42:16,399 --> 01:42:19,800
terrible, so at least sure,
I guess the WEU one is an HD.

1524
01:42:20,039 --> 01:42:24,039
But I was just very over the
New Super Mario Brothers games that Yeah,

1525
01:42:24,119 --> 01:42:28,079
first first HD Mario and it's fucking
I'm a new Super Mario brother.

1526
01:42:28,159 --> 01:42:30,520
I played through it twice now because
it got re released on Switch. And

1527
01:42:30,880 --> 01:42:33,000
I remember there's a van Go inspired
level and that's about if you like,

1528
01:42:33,439 --> 01:42:36,079
if you asked me, like,
what's the bowser fight like in that one?

1529
01:42:36,359 --> 01:42:40,960
Oh no, I don't remember and
don't remember anything. Yeah, it's

1530
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:44,079
those about the flying Squirrel power ups. That was fun. That's yeah,

1531
01:42:44,119 --> 01:42:47,560
that's cute. And Addie had her
Luigi Squirrel around here earlier today, so

1532
01:42:47,680 --> 01:42:51,520
yeah, I like that part Jamie
h Christmas e us is binary domain.

1533
01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:55,359
This is one I kind of always
meant to check out because people seem to

1534
01:42:55,399 --> 01:42:59,239
have a a little bit of a
sarcastic tongue in cheek love for this.

1535
01:43:00,159 --> 01:43:03,279
I saw this at one of my
first E threes in a clay closed door

1536
01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:08,039
session. I remember Jim Sterling was
there back when he was at Destructoid,

1537
01:43:08,600 --> 01:43:12,119
and so I was very excited about
just like I was like, oh,

1538
01:43:12,199 --> 01:43:16,119
I know who that person is.
I've made it right. Yeah, absolutely,

1539
01:43:17,680 --> 01:43:23,399
Gerbert says spelunky. I like splunky, but I just like other rogue

1540
01:43:23,479 --> 01:43:27,359
lights that are similar to this way
way more splunky. It just never felt

1541
01:43:27,399 --> 01:43:30,199
great to me. Guys. I'm
sorry I for yeah, Stephanie Sterling now,

1542
01:43:30,239 --> 01:43:32,880
and I didn't mean to do that, my bat yep, yep,

1543
01:43:34,239 --> 01:43:40,199
let's see. JD. Camp says
Candy Crush annual revenue from twenty twelve to

1544
01:43:40,319 --> 01:43:44,560
twenty twenty one, where most ears
it's made more than a billion dollars and

1545
01:43:44,680 --> 01:43:46,680
some years significantly more than that.
Yeah, buoy, that was this year,

1546
01:43:46,760 --> 01:43:49,399
jeez man, twenty twelve it only
made seventy seven million. I bet

1547
01:43:49,399 --> 01:43:53,720
they were like, holy shit.
And then two years later and made one

1548
01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:58,640
point one three billion dollars. Screaming, Madden says, x Calm Enemy unknown.

1549
01:44:00,680 --> 01:44:03,239
We said images only. This is
it. This is all you get,

1550
01:44:03,279 --> 01:44:05,560
everybody. If anyone else does this, you're gonna get in trouble.

1551
01:44:05,600 --> 01:44:10,279
But he includes here on the picture. Madden thirteen was the first time in

1552
01:44:10,319 --> 01:44:15,119
the series to have Phil Simms and
Jim Nantz at commentary. I'll give you

1553
01:44:15,119 --> 01:44:18,840
a laugh there. Thank you for
that little tidbt. Weezman says Mario Party

1554
01:44:18,920 --> 01:44:21,840
nine. That was what That was
the first one where you're all in a

1555
01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:27,680
car together. Oh that's rough.
I hate that. Rember defended that.

1556
01:44:28,880 --> 01:44:35,399
Adam Juice is saying Resident Evil revelations, which I really really liked. I

1557
01:44:35,439 --> 01:44:39,159
remember every one like this at this
time. I feel like now people seem

1558
01:44:39,199 --> 01:44:42,800
slightly not as impressed by it.
Perhaps I think parv it was. It

1559
01:44:42,840 --> 01:44:45,800
was just cool having this on the
three DS. I would have brought back

1560
01:44:45,880 --> 01:44:47,359
Joe Valentine. It was on a
boat, right, that's a good setting

1561
01:44:47,439 --> 01:44:50,600
for a resident Evil partially right,
I think, yeah, that's right.

1562
01:44:50,680 --> 01:44:55,119
You're like going through like a big
ship. Yes, yeah, so I

1563
01:44:55,199 --> 01:44:58,399
think it was pretty neat. It
may be worth considering. I'm in my

1564
01:44:58,520 --> 01:45:00,760
Resident Evil era, but Athlet actually
played. I haven't played this one either.

1565
01:45:00,800 --> 01:45:03,560
What the hell was I doing this
year? I don't know? Lots

1566
01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:09,159
of border Lands too. Apparently I
did play borders Lands two. Villain Mack

1567
01:45:09,479 --> 01:45:14,000
dropped that one. Joy Z has
what's her name's but and their boyfriend's head

1568
01:45:14,079 --> 01:45:17,079
from God? What is called chain
saw? Yeah? I like lollipop chainsaw,

1569
01:45:17,159 --> 01:45:20,600
thank you? Yeah that was God. That was like, it's like

1570
01:45:20,680 --> 01:45:24,640
a twenty twelve somebody made a two
thousand and seven game, right, Yeah,

1571
01:45:25,079 --> 01:45:28,119
yep, absolutely that makes any makes
sense. Days in Man two says

1572
01:45:28,199 --> 01:45:31,239
Pokemon Black version two. But you
know, as much as I love Black

1573
01:45:31,279 --> 01:45:33,560
and White, for some reason,
Black Too and White Too didn't do it

1574
01:45:33,720 --> 01:45:39,319
for me. I would have rather
had Pokemon Gray ed says called Duty Black

1575
01:45:39,319 --> 01:45:43,920
Ops to Isaac Clark drops Skull Girls. Yeah, Skallgirls was twenty twelve because

1576
01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:48,399
I just played this game like last
year. Finally it was supported for forever,

1577
01:45:48,600 --> 01:45:50,800
right it was. Yeah, they
like they like, you know,

1578
01:45:51,680 --> 01:45:55,920
like fighting game sequels, right,
like we're fighting game sequels or sometimes just

1579
01:45:56,319 --> 01:46:01,119
more content like what Grahand Blue recently
had. Right, Lenny Cool Dick dem

1580
01:46:01,199 --> 01:46:04,960
versus Max Pain three I've still never
played any Max Pill. Well, I've

1581
01:46:05,079 --> 01:46:08,840
like messed around in the first Max
Pain when it came out. I like

1582
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:11,439
Max Pain three. I feel like
it's in a weird place. Now it

1583
01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:15,439
doesn't seem to be remembered super fondly
by right. People seem to like prefer

1584
01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:18,399
Max Pain one and two. Yeah, but at the time it was neat.

1585
01:46:18,439 --> 01:46:24,600
I remember it was very impressive technically
and graphically. Uh Klink says Tokyo

1586
01:46:24,720 --> 01:46:28,119
Jungle. This is what I've always
intended to check out, never played,

1587
01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:31,600
never played. Fuck me that Pomeranian. Yeah, loosen Tokyo. You plays

1588
01:46:31,600 --> 01:46:35,000
a bunch of different animals in this
game. I'm gonna play that. Uh

1589
01:46:35,199 --> 01:46:39,520
teach. QC says Forts a Horizon, the one that takes place in Colorado.

1590
01:46:39,760 --> 01:46:43,399
Well, the first Sports a Horizon. Do you feel like any drive

1591
01:46:43,479 --> 01:46:45,600
there? Well, maybe you do
because of the Colorado, but do you

1592
01:46:45,720 --> 01:46:48,520
really feel like a drive to go
back to the first Forts of Horizon When

1593
01:46:48,600 --> 01:46:53,359
it got Xbox backward compatibility and it
got like, you know, all the

1594
01:46:53,479 --> 01:46:56,960
fidelity improvements because of that, that
was pretty cool. It was nice to

1595
01:46:57,000 --> 01:46:59,680
go back to that game and be
like this still mostly holds up. It's

1596
01:46:59,720 --> 01:47:04,920
not as good as like three and
four on five, but it's still it's

1597
01:47:04,920 --> 01:47:08,720
one that like holds up if you
have it. I don't think you can

1598
01:47:08,760 --> 01:47:12,199
buy this anymore. I can't remember
the Forts of Horizon games get delisted,

1599
01:47:12,560 --> 01:47:16,359
like the Forts and Motorsport games.
Do I think they do? Diogo says

1600
01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:20,479
a Clash of Clans, Jesus Christ. Ye, the other twenty twelve mobile

1601
01:47:20,560 --> 01:47:24,279
games. Yeah, all the mobile
games we still play apparently came out of

1602
01:47:24,319 --> 01:47:26,359
twenty twelve. Yeah, yeah,
that's right. I mean I say that

1603
01:47:26,399 --> 01:47:28,239
all the time. It's like,
twenty twelve is when these games came out,

1604
01:47:28,239 --> 01:47:31,920
and it's been the same games ever
since. Willow Davis says Halo four

1605
01:47:33,039 --> 01:47:36,199
on a picture of Mike mccwon.
Gee, I don't remember the bucks.

1606
01:47:36,239 --> 01:47:40,239
I like that. Oh my god, this is christ you know what.

1607
01:47:40,399 --> 01:47:44,960
I remember being really impressed by how
good Halo four looked, Like it looked

1608
01:47:45,119 --> 01:47:47,560
noticeably better than Halo three, even
though it was on the same system.

1609
01:47:48,039 --> 01:47:51,920
God, I wonder if it would
have helped them out a lot if they

1610
01:47:53,039 --> 01:47:56,520
just kept that in their pocket for
another year and had Halo four as a

1611
01:47:56,600 --> 01:48:00,520
big Xbox One launch game and maybe
spent a little You know that you're a

1612
01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:03,680
polish on it. Right, what
is I can't remember what Halo fans say.

1613
01:48:03,760 --> 01:48:09,359
Halo four multiplayer was good and the
campaign was bad, and Halo five

1614
01:48:09,439 --> 01:48:12,960
the campaign was good and the multiplayer
is bad or people don't like the campaign.

1615
01:48:13,079 --> 01:48:15,279
Five. I think people like,
ok yeah, it cane. People

1616
01:48:15,359 --> 01:48:18,800
like the campaign in this one.
Actually, oh got sure, it's the

1617
01:48:18,880 --> 01:48:21,439
reverse okay, Right, there's a
lot of excitement because it was the start

1618
01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:27,079
of the new thing here and like
those some of that new alien gun stuff

1619
01:48:27,119 --> 01:48:30,399
looked okay. But yeah, people
don't talk about the multilayer. Right.

1620
01:48:30,880 --> 01:48:32,399
This is the one where the multiplayer
was chasing cod Right, this is the

1621
01:48:32,439 --> 01:48:35,039
one where they went hard after Call
of Duty. Yeah, that's right,

1622
01:48:35,119 --> 01:48:39,800
load outs and all that jazz.
Yeah, that's the It was it this

1623
01:48:39,960 --> 01:48:42,640
one or maybe Halo five. I
think it might have been Halo four.

1624
01:48:43,279 --> 01:48:45,960
Dan said he was at that preview
event and they talked. They used the

1625
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:48,079
word clamber like one hundred and fifty
times, and that's when he started using

1626
01:48:48,079 --> 01:48:51,520
the word clamber a lot because he
liked it. Oh yeah. Vision forty

1627
01:48:51,600 --> 01:48:56,800
nine also says binary domain oh Man, Fluffy Cloud Gamers is Rhythm Heaven Fever

1628
01:48:56,960 --> 01:49:00,199
for the Wii, which is an
incredible game. Big Tony, the Final

1629
01:49:00,279 --> 01:49:04,600
Fantasy Guy says persona for Golden You
see this image, Mic, Yeah,

1630
01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:09,800
used looking a bit sexier than I
remember him. Yeah, used, look

1631
01:49:09,840 --> 01:49:14,560
at a little kwan chiafied Uh.
I know his cannon name? Okay,

1632
01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:21,000
Buggy Dillis says Arrowporter. B Traven
says Oryan. What's Aeroporter? I don't

1633
01:49:21,079 --> 01:49:24,960
know. It looks like simulator.
It's probably one of those games where it's

1634
01:49:24,960 --> 01:49:28,159
like you have to like draw the
lines for their airplanes to like land,

1635
01:49:28,600 --> 01:49:31,439
like your air traffic controller or something. I have a better question for be

1636
01:49:31,600 --> 01:49:36,720
Travan, what's Oriyan Diano beat down? Who knows? Nobody knows, So

1637
01:49:36,880 --> 01:49:41,319
you guys are just making ship up
now. P Chance says The Last Story

1638
01:49:41,479 --> 01:49:45,239
for the Wii. This is another
Project ray Fall game, And once again

1639
01:49:45,279 --> 01:49:48,039
I didn't play, and I wish
I would because this was Saka Gucci in

1640
01:49:48,119 --> 01:49:51,600
his studio and like the boom Anster
doing the score. I definitely want to

1641
01:49:51,600 --> 01:49:56,000
play less story at some point,
like this is long before Hearthstone. What

1642
01:49:56,039 --> 01:49:58,479
were you doing this year, Mike, I'm trying to figure it out.

1643
01:49:58,560 --> 01:50:01,520
Jeff, I was like playing video
games. This is what I discovered alcohol.

1644
01:50:02,279 --> 01:50:09,600
Oh, that's it. Persona four
arena. This might have been my

1645
01:50:09,920 --> 01:50:15,199
party. I think this was when
I was going out like four times a

1646
01:50:15,359 --> 01:50:23,439
week. I think this was me
socializing at that party. I think it

1647
01:50:24,279 --> 01:50:26,239
took you want to be like,
what did I do that year? Oh?

1648
01:50:26,359 --> 01:50:29,640
I talked to people. I was
like staying out to like three or

1649
01:50:29,680 --> 01:50:35,439
four am every night. Good time? Uh sasquatching? Uh sat what excuse

1650
01:50:35,439 --> 01:50:41,319
me? Sasquatch crossing says Happy Action
Theater. I never touched this. Yeah,

1651
01:50:41,319 --> 01:50:45,000
I don't know this one. I
think that's I should have said about

1652
01:50:45,039 --> 01:50:48,680
Persona four Arena. That is I
like that fighting game a lot. The

1653
01:50:48,720 --> 01:50:54,399
story most kind of interesting, although
it's a really long and ultimately maybe isn't

1654
01:50:54,520 --> 01:50:58,439
important to quote unquote. Even though
it kind of connects Persona three and four

1655
01:50:58,479 --> 01:51:00,760
in some ways, I don't think
it actually really goes anywhere. It's not

1656
01:51:00,840 --> 01:51:04,720
like it's not like percent of five
continued the threads of that one or anything.

1657
01:51:05,399 --> 01:51:08,800
But I did like Persona four,
you know, and then and then

1658
01:51:08,880 --> 01:51:12,199
yeah, Happy Action Theater is the
Double Fine connect game. That's right.

1659
01:51:13,960 --> 01:51:16,640
That's the first time I think we've
had a connect game recommended for our top

1660
01:51:16,720 --> 01:51:25,159
five list. Adam says ps Vita
Vita's Virtues Last Reward. Yeah rules,

1661
01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:30,319
this is Sparta. Yeah yeah,
it's part of the games and all of

1662
01:51:30,359 --> 01:51:36,119
those Wait we Hitter says Indiana Jones
in the Fate of Atlanta's thinking might be

1663
01:51:36,159 --> 01:51:40,560
a little late to that one,
man, I mean, I know it's

1664
01:51:40,560 --> 01:51:42,720
probably too much always going, but
it'd be fun to get somebody to do

1665
01:51:42,800 --> 01:51:45,800
a play through of this. That's
a that's a neat video game. I'm

1666
01:51:45,039 --> 01:51:48,439
listen. I've never played most LucasArts
games, so this would be like the

1667
01:51:48,479 --> 01:51:53,439
one I wouldn't like. Maybe make
you play honestly because you like Indiana Jones.

1668
01:51:53,800 --> 01:51:56,920
It's fine. I mean, you
know, it can't be like a

1669
01:51:57,000 --> 01:52:00,520
wacky like Giant on stream because there's
a lot of dialogue and it's got it

1670
01:52:00,840 --> 01:52:04,239
must be read. Listen, we're
gonna do some of that here soon.

1671
01:52:04,319 --> 01:52:09,239
Like that's going to be one of
the shift in some of that stuff where

1672
01:52:09,279 --> 01:52:11,880
we pay attention. Like if I
played Meddle Gear Solid, I would want

1673
01:52:11,920 --> 01:52:15,439
to watch all of the cut scenes
for real. So yeah, for Shoot

1674
01:52:15,159 --> 01:52:19,159
for Shoot, excuse me, Papa
Quest three with Great Taste says Trials Evolution

1675
01:52:19,880 --> 01:52:26,479
absolutely pretty good shot. Yes,
yes, definitely, Crirosis says Dragon's Dogma.

1676
01:52:27,279 --> 01:52:32,279
Christian says gravity gravity Days. Excuse
me, somebody more impartial? What

1677
01:52:32,520 --> 01:52:36,520
name do you like more, Gravity
Days or gravity Rush? I'm used to

1678
01:52:36,600 --> 01:52:41,199
the gravity Rush name. I think
I prefer gravity Rush sounds better than gravity

1679
01:52:41,319 --> 01:52:44,399
Days. Well, I think they
made it change because gravity Days. What's

1680
01:52:44,479 --> 01:52:46,800
the original name? And then they
made it change because like the change it

1681
01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:51,640
for some reason because their thing is, like you get daisy with this game.

1682
01:52:51,760 --> 01:52:55,079
Like this game, they kind of
confuse you at the beginning, and

1683
01:52:55,159 --> 01:52:58,159
then you get used to it.
If you if you get sick playing a

1684
01:52:58,199 --> 01:53:01,439
first person game, maybe look out
for gravity Rush. Uh. And then

1685
01:53:01,840 --> 01:53:06,720
he also says Persona for Golden and
then Turboshan says Pokemon Black version two.

1686
01:53:08,520 --> 01:53:11,239
Look, I already give you guys
that Pokemon bone. You're all very excited,

1687
01:53:11,319 --> 01:53:14,079
but yeah, I'm not gonna do
it for Pokemon Black and White too.

1688
01:53:14,159 --> 01:53:17,199
And now, why did you just
put in low Bunny just because Pokemon

1689
01:53:18,119 --> 01:53:21,640
because and and just to help out
our friends in the community that are reacting

1690
01:53:21,880 --> 01:53:26,680
very okay, never mind, we
got to take it down because are it's

1691
01:53:26,800 --> 01:53:30,439
mostly sean. I know, it's
a lot of people mostly always always be

1692
01:53:30,640 --> 01:53:35,760
clothing. Oh my, oh incredible. All right, let's see here,

1693
01:53:35,880 --> 01:53:40,800
are we adding anything else to the
list, Like we're getting blackout drunk?

1694
01:53:40,840 --> 01:53:44,359
Actually, I never got I couldn't
get blackout drunk. Other people would.

1695
01:53:44,399 --> 01:53:46,159
I would just get drunk. You're
just you're like Superman. You're too strong

1696
01:53:46,199 --> 01:53:48,640
to get drunk. Yeah, I'm
too powerful. I don't need sunglasses.

1697
01:53:48,800 --> 01:53:53,239
I don't, right, I mean, I get got drunk. I'm blackout

1698
01:53:53,279 --> 01:53:57,399
drunk. I never understood that.
I never got I never woke up from

1699
01:53:57,520 --> 01:53:59,439
day. Drek is like, oh, I don't even know what I did

1700
01:53:59,520 --> 01:54:01,960
yesterday. That never happened. I
don't. Yeah, I mean that's happened

1701
01:54:01,960 --> 01:54:05,239
to me like two or three times. But you're a yeah, yeah,

1702
01:54:05,239 --> 01:54:09,199
and that's definitely like, well,
the one time is because I think Michigan

1703
01:54:09,239 --> 01:54:12,520
Beatlehouse State and I won a bottle
of tequila and then we just drank it

1704
01:54:12,560 --> 01:54:15,119
all way, drink it all night, and I did like every shot with

1705
01:54:15,199 --> 01:54:17,840
every other person. So basically half
a bottle of tequila and that's enough to

1706
01:54:17,880 --> 01:54:20,960
make me apparently jump into a dumpster
and then wake up in my room.

1707
01:54:21,000 --> 01:54:26,399
Without remembering anything. All right,
here's what we have Gravity Rush, FTL

1708
01:54:26,520 --> 01:54:30,359
Persona for Golden Journey, Trials,
Evolution, Borderlands Too, Mark of the

1709
01:54:30,479 --> 01:54:34,239
Ninja, The Walking Dead Season one
x Colm, Enemy Unknown, Dishonored,

1710
01:54:34,319 --> 01:54:38,920
and Call of Duty Black Ops two. I feel pretty good about that list.

1711
01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:42,079
I don't feel the any dad anything
else. Really. I thought it

1712
01:54:42,119 --> 01:54:45,239
was interesting how little love Walking Dead
got from the community. A game about

1713
01:54:45,319 --> 01:54:49,159
that year seemed to be the one
that got the most awards and got the

1714
01:54:49,279 --> 01:54:54,000
most recognition, at least from what
I remember. You're yeah, it was,

1715
01:54:54,279 --> 01:54:58,119
but it was a game of its
moment, and then that moment kind

1716
01:54:58,159 --> 01:55:01,840
of faded pretty quickly because Formula got
ran into the ground and that's what people

1717
01:55:01,960 --> 01:55:05,720
remember about those games. Yeah,
yeah, you're right. I mean the

1718
01:55:05,800 --> 01:55:09,479
Far Christ three kinda has the same
problem. Right again, that game,

1719
01:55:09,560 --> 01:55:12,319
like we looked as a silk anthemtic
critic was like in the nineties at the

1720
01:55:12,399 --> 01:55:15,640
time, and now nobody really wants
to talk about it. Nick, you

1721
01:55:15,680 --> 01:55:17,760
were trying not to be live anymore. We're trying to finish that time.

1722
01:55:18,319 --> 01:55:21,800
Just try to warn us. And
they both were like, Okay, you

1723
01:55:21,840 --> 01:55:25,920
guys got to like be fast with
the stuff here we are though, Okay,

1724
01:55:26,319 --> 01:55:30,760
I'm listen, let's move up.
Uh yeah, Trial's evolution is the

1725
01:55:30,800 --> 01:55:34,000
one I really want up there,
and I really want gravity Rush up there.

1726
01:55:34,039 --> 01:55:39,840
I really want Gravity Rush up there. There is I think x Kom

1727
01:55:39,960 --> 01:55:42,840
Enemy Unown feels like it should definitely
be up there. Lock, Yeah,

1728
01:55:43,159 --> 01:55:46,640
definitely, So then we have two
more spots. As it stands right now,

1729
01:55:48,039 --> 01:55:51,560
I think Borderlance two would go up
there. Personally for me, I

1730
01:55:51,680 --> 01:55:57,279
am, I think that's probably right. Borderlands two is definitely a standout one.

1731
01:55:57,399 --> 01:56:01,079
I would probably God, this is
tough between like Mark the Ninja and

1732
01:56:01,199 --> 01:56:05,680
FTL, and then that's not even
like like all of these games are pretty

1733
01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:12,239
good. Journey and Dishonored called douty
Black Ops two even I don't know what

1734
01:56:12,319 --> 01:56:15,399
are you thinking? Journey would be
my next one, but I've already had

1735
01:56:15,439 --> 01:56:20,800
a good amount of stay here.
Yeah, I feel very very strongly about

1736
01:56:20,920 --> 01:56:24,680
FTL and Market the Ninja, So
I probably would want to move one of

1737
01:56:24,720 --> 01:56:28,199
those up. I'm gonna go with
FTL. FTL is actually the one that

1738
01:56:28,239 --> 01:56:30,640
looks right up there, all right, So then what we have in the

1739
01:56:30,680 --> 01:56:34,600
top five right now this could still
change FTL, Gravity Rush Trials, Evolution,

1740
01:56:34,840 --> 01:56:39,520
X com Atam Unknown and Borderlands too. Uh, And then that means

1741
01:56:39,560 --> 01:56:43,439
we are not including Persona for Golden
Journey, Mark of the Ninja, The

1742
01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:46,920
Walking Dead, Dishonored, and Call
of Duty Black Ops two. Any any

1743
01:56:47,119 --> 01:56:56,119
swaps you feel very strongly about.
No, uh, like there's a part

1744
01:56:56,159 --> 01:56:57,680
of me it's a little bump,
b like a Journey on there, but

1745
01:56:57,760 --> 01:57:02,279
not that. Not that. Yeah, I mean Journey seems to be the

1746
01:57:02,319 --> 01:57:05,439
one I'm chat seems the most upset
about for. Yeah, I know people

1747
01:57:05,479 --> 01:57:13,239
really love Journey, but I mean
I'm not I'm not getting rid of any

1748
01:57:13,279 --> 01:57:15,720
of my kind of babies and I'm
not getting rid of Gradurush for it.

1749
01:57:15,319 --> 01:57:20,359
And yeah, I would do it. It's funny because I was about to

1750
01:57:20,359 --> 01:57:23,199
say maybe it's number one, and
now I'm like, the only one I

1751
01:57:23,199 --> 01:57:25,720
would change for is x COMB.
But I don't think that's right. I

1752
01:57:25,760 --> 01:57:28,600
don't know if I don't think yeah, I don't think that's right. I

1753
01:57:28,640 --> 01:57:30,760
don't know. Do we bully Borderlands
two out of there to get Journey instead?

1754
01:57:32,439 --> 01:57:36,199
I'm definitely okay with that, Mike. Honestly, both those games are

1755
01:57:36,279 --> 01:57:39,600
kind of occupy a pretty similar space
for me. Where it's like, yeah,

1756
01:57:39,640 --> 01:57:43,760
those are yeah, good guys.
I feel a little bad about it,

1757
01:57:45,159 --> 01:57:47,199
but let's do that. Let's get
Journey In and Borderlands two out there.

1758
01:57:47,359 --> 01:57:54,119
Okay, that sounds right. Uh's
that's okay? All right? So

1759
01:57:54,319 --> 01:57:58,640
then, hey, look at this, Jeff, you know you noticed something

1760
01:57:58,640 --> 01:58:04,880
about this list? No, notice
what's missing on this list? Nintendo games.

1761
01:58:05,119 --> 01:58:10,680
There is not a single Nintendo came
in this list. Everybody is that

1762
01:58:10,800 --> 01:58:15,359
the first time that's happened. All
it took was for them to watch louiiuse

1763
01:58:15,399 --> 01:58:20,119
we got here, Oh ship Nintendo
l let's get it on there. Look

1764
01:58:20,159 --> 01:58:26,399
at that. We almost had Fire
from Awakening didn't quite happen. Wow,

1765
01:58:26,479 --> 01:58:30,760
Okay, incredible. God Like,
I'm okay with this list as it is.

1766
01:58:30,880 --> 01:58:34,520
Kind of no, not number one. I would like number one one,

1767
01:58:34,880 --> 01:58:39,479
but okays, number one, it's
not. That's why I think x

1768
01:58:39,560 --> 01:58:42,520
com is going to probably be a
compromise choice at number one. Yeah,

1769
01:58:42,520 --> 01:58:47,840
that that works for me. Okay, let's do that. Then. Do

1770
01:58:47,920 --> 01:58:53,279
you like FTL more than Trials?
I think I think FTL is the one

1771
01:58:53,319 --> 01:58:58,239
that like stands the test of time
more. I love I love Trials Evolution,

1772
01:58:58,560 --> 01:59:02,319
but I'm also really like Trials.
All the Trials games after that I've

1773
01:59:02,399 --> 01:59:05,000
loved. So it's like, hey, yeah, of course, but this

1774
01:59:05,079 --> 01:59:08,720
is the one that started it for
me. Really. I like Trial's HD

1775
01:59:08,800 --> 01:59:11,479
a ton. The Trials evolution is
the one where it became a very good

1776
01:59:11,560 --> 01:59:15,399
game. I'm okay with Gravity Rush
being number two, as long as FTL

1777
01:59:15,439 --> 01:59:18,079
is number three and Trials is number
four, and then Journey at five.

1778
01:59:18,279 --> 01:59:21,079
Can we do that? I know
people want Journey higher. Yeah, I

1779
01:59:21,239 --> 01:59:26,000
was gonna say that seems low.
I would put Journey above Trials, but

1780
01:59:26,680 --> 01:59:29,079
okay, I could do the Trials
as five. Well, you can't have

1781
01:59:29,199 --> 01:59:31,479
FTL at two grab Rush at three, but put put Journey at four.

1782
01:59:31,840 --> 01:59:34,760
That works for me. That looks
right, okay, all right, okay,

1783
01:59:34,840 --> 01:59:39,119
So all right, so then what
we have then is number five,

1784
01:59:39,479 --> 01:59:43,399
Trials Evolution, number four, Journey
number three, Gravity Rush number two,

1785
01:59:43,600 --> 01:59:46,560
FTL Faster than Light, and number
one x com Enemy Unknown. Mike.

1786
01:59:46,640 --> 01:59:50,800
Does that sound right? That sounds
right to me? Fantastic. All right,

1787
01:59:50,800 --> 01:59:54,520
we're gonna take one more quick break. Everybody, let us know how

1788
01:59:54,600 --> 01:59:57,479
much you're mad about this list.
Can't wait to see it, can't wait

1789
01:59:57,520 --> 02:00:03,000
to hear it. We'll be right
back after this and we're back, all

1790
02:00:03,079 --> 02:00:05,760
right. I tweeted out the list. We'll see how people react to it.

1791
02:00:06,159 --> 02:00:10,399
But in the meantime, Mike,
what have you been playing? Yeah,

1792
02:00:11,159 --> 02:00:15,680
some things that I cannot talk about, but I did start Golden Sun.

1793
02:00:15,840 --> 02:00:19,079
Actually, oh yeah, how you
finding it? Yeah? It's you

1794
02:00:19,159 --> 02:00:23,039
know, like like all these games, the start can be a little like

1795
02:00:23,359 --> 02:00:26,439
yes, because you know, you
know, we gotta get the lord dumps

1796
02:00:26,520 --> 02:00:29,199
out of the way, and like
also at first, there's not much to

1797
02:00:29,279 --> 02:00:33,239
the combat except you know, attack. But I do like this This game

1798
02:00:33,319 --> 02:00:36,880
encourages you to use magic quite a
bit. You do have some passive manner

1799
02:00:36,960 --> 02:00:42,680
region and pretty much everybody is magic. It's not, it's not. You

1800
02:00:42,880 --> 02:00:45,439
definitely have some people who maybe more
suited to it. But at least what

1801
02:00:45,520 --> 02:00:47,279
I see, there's not a magic
stat, like a magic strength stat.

1802
02:00:47,560 --> 02:00:51,880
It's just MP. So that's the
difference between people who are maybe more suited

1803
02:00:53,199 --> 02:00:57,279
towards magic. And everybody will have
like a good amount of spells, even

1804
02:00:57,319 --> 02:01:00,920
good amount of AoE spells. And
then there's like this gene system where genie

1805
02:01:01,399 --> 02:01:05,600
is kind of like summon. It's
a little bit like Guardian Forces and Fantasy.

1806
02:01:05,600 --> 02:01:10,520
Sure, that they make your stats
stronger. Also, there's this kind

1807
02:01:10,520 --> 02:01:14,880
of dance between like just having it
give you the act of stats, or

1808
02:01:14,960 --> 02:01:16,319
you use it to attack and you
lose the stats, but now you can

1809
02:01:16,640 --> 02:01:20,920
then use an even more powerful attack. You're kind of juggling those stances a

1810
02:01:21,000 --> 02:01:25,920
bit. So I'm getting my grasp
on all of that. I think the

1811
02:01:26,000 --> 02:01:30,800
comm system is pretty fun. I'm
excited to delve deeper into it. I

1812
02:01:30,880 --> 02:01:33,279
still love the way just the battles
look with that sweeping camera and the sprite

1813
02:01:33,279 --> 02:01:38,840
scaling. That's fantastic. There is
a little bit of a h you know,

1814
02:01:39,600 --> 02:01:42,439
we're playing an RPG that, like
once again, is written in a

1815
02:01:42,560 --> 02:01:46,319
kind of that first grade level.
Yeah, definitely definitely my first video game

1816
02:01:46,399 --> 02:01:48,640
sort of thing. Yeah, yeah, you know, it has a little

1817
02:01:48,640 --> 02:01:53,079
bit that Camelot thing right where like
the yeah, Camo makes very good games.

1818
02:01:53,079 --> 02:01:58,319
But sometimes it's it feels like the
audience is always younger than you actually

1819
02:01:58,399 --> 02:02:01,800
are the attended audience anyways, It's
like people are talking a lot about things

1820
02:02:01,840 --> 02:02:09,079
that they already had gotten the point
across already. But I am digging it

1821
02:02:09,279 --> 02:02:13,239
quite a bit. I want to
see it through. Yeah, I'm enjoying

1822
02:02:13,239 --> 02:02:15,640
it. Yeah, I played just
a little bit of it. Yeah,

1823
02:02:15,720 --> 02:02:18,239
also playing stuff we can't talk about. Yeah, looking forward to doing that

1824
02:02:18,359 --> 02:02:23,199
very soon everybody. But it was
most just like, oh, yeah,

1825
02:02:23,319 --> 02:02:27,520
the battle, the combat actually does
look as good as I remember, these

1826
02:02:27,600 --> 02:02:31,159
really awesome sprites kind of big and
rotating and having different angles and the camera

1827
02:02:31,279 --> 02:02:34,640
moving around on the game Boy Advance. It was always like, oh wow,

1828
02:02:34,760 --> 02:02:39,680
this looks really unique, and that
still it still looks pretty unique for

1829
02:02:39,960 --> 02:02:44,119
one of these games. I definitely
did notice. Also it's like this game

1830
02:02:44,159 --> 02:02:46,720
looks a little bit muddier when it's
blown up like this. So it's like

1831
02:02:46,760 --> 02:02:50,359
I was having trouble like seeing the
stairs in that very very beginning part and

1832
02:02:50,439 --> 02:02:54,960
like why where am I supposed to
go? That was I mean, I'm

1833
02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:58,159
usually pretty okay with the way these
games are blown up, but even I

1834
02:02:58,239 --> 02:03:00,680
was having trouble with those stairs.
The thing. Yeah, I think it

1835
02:03:00,760 --> 02:03:04,920
was just like that stuff just like
probably looked better on that LCD screen and

1836
02:03:05,239 --> 02:03:09,960
then stuck out more and it just
did not hear it all. But yeah,

1837
02:03:10,319 --> 02:03:14,359
then the rest of my time is
just uh into things that we'll be

1838
02:03:14,359 --> 02:03:15,880
able to talk about next week,
other than continue to set up that I

1839
02:03:16,000 --> 02:03:19,880
in Neo Retro MINIPC and uh,
I think I got most of the emulators

1840
02:03:19,960 --> 02:03:24,159
running at this point. It's just
like occasionally run into something that doesn't work

1841
02:03:24,159 --> 02:03:27,079
and it bothers me. I just
wish everything would just work right away.

1842
02:03:27,399 --> 02:03:30,520
I guess that's why most people play
on consoles. I get it, but

1843
02:03:30,640 --> 02:03:32,439
yeah, I don't know. Mike, you got you want to get these

1844
02:03:32,439 --> 02:03:34,840
super chats and get out of here. Yeah, we've got a couple more.

1845
02:03:34,960 --> 02:03:40,159
Let's do that. We got,
uh, Fox McCloud server said Ben

1846
02:03:40,199 --> 02:03:43,720
around since damn near the beginning,
but first time super Chet love you guys

1847
02:03:43,760 --> 02:03:45,880
to keep up the good work.
PS Mortal Kombat Michtology's ruled and I laughed,

1848
02:03:45,920 --> 02:03:49,560
so damn Harden, thank you so
much. Fox McCloud definitely remember your

1849
02:03:49,640 --> 02:03:54,680
name for going way back, so
really appreciate the super chat and the support.

1850
02:03:55,199 --> 02:03:57,199
And then El Grugg says, what
do we have to do to have

1851
02:03:57,279 --> 02:04:00,000
Turbo Stwan b on screen but have
him do his best AJ impression and never

1852
02:04:00,159 --> 02:04:08,439
actually incredible? All right, I'm
at the button. Let's get out of

1853
02:04:08,479 --> 02:04:10,840
here. Mike. Where can people
find you on the internet? Yeah,

1854
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:15,279
Tokodo everywhere, Twitch and Twitter,
and all that stuff. Hopefully weather premitting

1855
02:04:15,399 --> 02:04:20,239
going up to Games Done Quick tomorrow
Friday, first half of the day,

1856
02:04:20,800 --> 02:04:26,680
so I'm looking forward to that.
But yeah, that's it. There's a

1857
02:04:26,760 --> 02:04:30,880
lot of trouble like us are figuring
out for upcoming months. It sounds like

1858
02:04:30,920 --> 02:04:34,399
you guys have figured out some idea
of pa Seas. I have to talk

1859
02:04:34,479 --> 02:04:38,159
to you and see what's going on
with that. Yeah. Yeah, things

1860
02:04:38,199 --> 02:04:42,319
are starting to take shape there.
It's exciting. So we'll be a pack

1861
02:04:42,399 --> 02:04:45,960
seast. Giant bumb will be there
for sure. We're gonna try to get

1862
02:04:45,960 --> 02:04:47,119
Mike out there as well. We'll
figure that stuff out. We'll figure it

1863
02:04:47,199 --> 02:04:55,039
out. We will figure it out. Let's see go watch Mortal Kombat Migetologies,

1864
02:04:55,640 --> 02:04:58,880
the latest Blake Club episode. It's
a ton of fun that's up on

1865
02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:01,760
Giant Bomb right, Tale of Grub
Watch Tail of the Grub. That was

1866
02:05:02,079 --> 02:05:09,720
an an experience. You could see
the exploits of Lucy James and then two

1867
02:05:09,840 --> 02:05:15,359
sy caves and two more who cave
and uh and next episode we'll start start

1868
02:05:15,439 --> 02:05:19,199
with Mike mc McK what is it, Mike mcch well, that's that's the

1869
02:05:19,319 --> 02:05:24,600
Blake Club character. I can't remember
what we came, Mike, Mitch,

1870
02:05:25,800 --> 02:05:28,520
oh yeah, mitche to cave to
Yeah, Midge to cave too. That's

1871
02:05:28,560 --> 02:05:30,720
what it was. It's there's a
lot of fun. We're keeping track of

1872
02:05:30,760 --> 02:05:33,600
all these different cavemen and how they
perform in the game. It's all this

1873
02:05:33,720 --> 02:05:36,960
is nonsense to you. Uh.
It still will be once you're watching the

1874
02:05:38,000 --> 02:05:40,600
game, because it is kind of
a nonsense game. But it's also a

1875
02:05:40,640 --> 02:05:44,000
pretty cool experience. I've been enjoying
it so far. Dan, Dan's played

1876
02:05:44,039 --> 02:05:45,840
it before, and he's having me
play through it, and that's a good

1877
02:05:45,880 --> 02:05:47,840
time. Nicky or Shawner, which
one of you were responsible for this tweet

1878
02:05:47,880 --> 02:05:57,399
with the Great Circle and Halo?
There there you are, Niki, good

1879
02:05:57,479 --> 02:06:01,760
job, that's good stuff. Stop
sorry, hey you the big bucks,

1880
02:06:01,920 --> 02:06:06,079
Nikki. That's right, Oh yeah, Great Circle. I'm gonna retweet this.

1881
02:06:06,319 --> 02:06:10,079
There we go. You should,
uh, Mike, I would love

1882
02:06:10,119 --> 02:06:13,479
to go to uh uh a fucking
much of well call it a g d

1883
02:06:13,560 --> 02:06:15,800
Q myself. We'll see if I
can. I'll let you know, like

1884
02:06:16,199 --> 02:06:19,640
first thing on Friday night or whatever. We'll see and I'll drive out there

1885
02:06:19,640 --> 02:06:23,119
Saturday and we'll go out there together. That'd be cool, all right,

1886
02:06:23,159 --> 02:06:25,319
everybody until next time. I have
a good one. Take care of yourself.

1887
02:06:25,560 --> 02:06:33,439
Goodbye. All right, Jess,
Well let's do each other here.

1888
02:06:33,640 --> 02:06:55,640
Okay, I have to poop.
That's fucked up that he eats so many

1889
02:06:55,680 --> 02:07:04,680
sunflower seeds that his butthole stopped working. My penis works, sadly. We're

1890
02:07:04,720 --> 02:07:08,439
back to stick with us. If
you're watching live, we are going to

1891
02:07:08,439 --> 02:07:10,560
be getting right back into it.
I think, do you need a little

1892
02:07:10,600 --> 02:07:13,359
breaky break or anything? Mike,
No, I'm good. Let's go.

1893
02:07:13,560 --> 02:07:16,079
All right, the game we got, we got chat arguing about star phone.

1894
02:07:16,079 --> 02:07:19,000
Now look what we did. No, I'm just I'm ignoring you all

1895
02:07:19,039 --> 02:07:28,720
there you go, all right,
here we go, let's go. What

1896
02:07:28,880 --> 02:07:35,000
is that? What is our our? Is that something that every every everybody

1897
02:07:35,039 --> 02:07:43,319
says, uh Mike, Camilla from
Fire Album would say. She will say

1898
02:07:44,760 --> 02:07:47,960
like the oh my oh my is
like oh my, oh my. Yeah,

1899
02:07:48,000 --> 02:07:53,880
this is something like people who's you
know how like some of the anime

1900
02:07:54,000 --> 02:07:59,800
girls last specifically like they put like
that, that's it. That's what.

1901
02:08:00,520 --> 02:08:05,800
Do Different aur auras have different cup
sizes? All right, listen to Camela.

1902
02:08:05,920 --> 02:08:13,159
I know their cup size. Yes, okay, because Camilla's cup size

1903
02:08:13,199 --> 02:08:18,439
is backbreaking, gravity disturbing. All
right, let's get back into this.

1904
02:08:18,479 --> 02:08:24,520
We're good. Just how much?
Man? How much should I bid on?

1905
02:08:24,640 --> 02:08:26,359
All right? Uh freak? Then
I'm gonna tweaks. I never did

1906
02:08:26,399 --> 02:08:31,760
that. I didn't tweet either.
Actually, I forgot to ship. You

1907
02:08:31,800 --> 02:08:35,079
know, there's like five hundred people. There were like five hundred people.

1908
02:08:35,199 --> 02:08:39,880
Yeah, we're good, yo podcast, All right, I am what are

1909
02:08:39,920 --> 02:08:43,720
we going to do next? We're
gonna do the metacritic thing. Basically,

1910
02:08:43,760 --> 02:08:46,880
we're gonna just hand it over to
Sean. Yeah, if we get to

1911
02:08:48,800 --> 02:08:54,399
two hundred likes, Mike will do
I think I have no chance of getting

1912
02:08:54,439 --> 02:08:56,520
in again. Joe's because other people
in this league who haven't done before are

1913
02:08:56,560 --> 02:09:01,239
gonna make my mistake and bet,
like, bid one hundred dollars on it.

1914
02:09:01,399 --> 02:09:03,920
Somebody's going to really overbid for it. Oh absolutely, Dan totally put

1915
02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:09,520
down like eighty bucks on that thing. All right, let's let's get back

1916
02:09:09,520 --> 02:09:16,279
into it. Let's go okay,
all right, yet the problem? All

1917
02:09:16,319 --> 02:09:18,399
right, Mike's gona take any out, and I'm gonna look at what came

1918
02:09:18,439 --> 02:09:26,760
out in twenty twelve, twelve games. I didn't submit one. Let's see.

1919
02:09:28,840 --> 02:09:31,560
The one is to do in London, Sark, I believe there you

1920
02:09:31,600 --> 02:09:35,479
go. No, I didn't believe
myself. I was like it, thank

1921
02:09:35,520 --> 02:09:39,840
you, all right. This is
the one where I was like, there's

1922
02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:43,399
some good stuff in here. And
that's why I wanted you guys about P

1923
02:09:43,560 --> 02:09:46,560
four Golden. I know how well
it would fly as if we make with

1924
02:09:46,640 --> 02:09:50,560
you guys, and Mike's not gonna
let me get the Walking Dead season one

1925
02:09:50,600 --> 02:09:52,279
on there, and I don't know
if I'm really in the mood for that

1926
02:09:52,399 --> 02:09:58,640
fight. That would be weird.
It won our Game of the Year at

1927
02:09:58,680 --> 02:10:01,439
Game Speed back then. So entirety
of it released in twenty twelve, I

1928
02:10:01,520 --> 02:10:03,439
think so. Yeah, it won
a lot of game of the year.

1929
02:10:03,600 --> 02:10:07,479
It won a Game of the Year
awards, Okay, because I see the

1930
02:10:07,479 --> 02:10:11,319
episode. The entirety of it was
within twenty twelve. Okay, yes,

1931
02:10:11,279 --> 02:10:15,680
yeah, I was. I liked
I like that. I like me through

1932
02:10:16,000 --> 02:10:20,680
the episodic release stuff. I don't
know, man, tent twelve. It's

1933
02:10:20,680 --> 02:10:28,039
one twelve. Kind of a weird
year and was a great year. As

1934
02:10:28,159 --> 02:10:33,520
much as I love Pokemon Black Too
and White two, Fire on Bloom Awakening

1935
02:10:33,720 --> 02:10:35,479
was this year? Oh was it? Shit? Okay? All right?

1936
02:10:35,680 --> 02:10:39,000
That helps oh no, no,
no, no, no to band only.

1937
02:10:39,279 --> 02:10:48,079
Okay, there we go, all
right, man, I and I

1938
02:10:48,640 --> 02:10:52,520
should play Fez. I've never really
played Faz. I should I bet up

1939
02:10:52,520 --> 02:10:58,079
a dig? And if I started
getting into it, I don't know if

1940
02:10:58,119 --> 02:11:01,239
that's true. You know, I'd
like, you know, the Witness so

1941
02:11:01,359 --> 02:11:07,319
much in all these games with like
abstract puzzles, but I haven't been to

1942
02:11:07,960 --> 02:11:13,319
I have tried it before, so
maybe not. Do you think we could

1943
02:11:13,399 --> 02:11:16,000
fight for Black Ops too? Do
you think they would fly? I think

1944
02:11:16,079 --> 02:11:18,119
this year, I don't know.
There's so many games that are like,

1945
02:11:18,199 --> 02:11:22,439
well, yeah it's good, but
it's like it's not like the best of

1946
02:11:22,479 --> 02:11:26,039
that that series, even at that
time. So maybe Black Ops two could

1947
02:11:26,039 --> 02:11:30,560
maybe happen. We'll see once we
get started. I don't know. Well,

1948
02:11:30,600 --> 02:11:33,880
but right now a weird year with
a lot of good stuff, a

1949
02:11:33,960 --> 02:11:37,439
lot of just odd stuff. It's
yeah, I'm ready, all right.

1950
02:11:39,199 --> 02:11:46,079
Actually I should have done this stuff. The link by the way, right,

1951
02:11:46,119 --> 02:11:48,720
I just need to get the document
up. I forgot to do that,

1952
02:11:48,840 --> 02:11:52,600
and I was forgetting something. Wow, John, were you distracting him

1953
02:11:52,640 --> 02:12:09,039
again? What you did? He's
a father, he can't forget stuff,

1954
02:12:09,399 --> 02:12:15,039
you know, this man? Has
been on camera for like nine hours a

1955
02:12:15,119 --> 02:12:18,760
day or something. Shot, it's
all gone good. Missed on that one,

1956
02:12:18,800 --> 02:12:22,720
and I guess all that. Yeah, we're proud of you. I'm

1957
02:12:22,720 --> 02:12:28,000
sure you keep on camera. That's
impressive. Nobody can do though, Yeah,

1958
02:12:28,000 --> 02:12:33,960
I agree. Cool. Remember that
whole thing where like he was like,

1959
02:12:35,079 --> 02:12:37,560
this is like an impressive thing.
Nobody does. I still think that.

1960
02:12:37,800 --> 02:12:43,039
Yeah, the poker chips, the
open in the opening in the canon

1961
02:12:43,119 --> 02:12:50,760
holding the poker chips thing, I'll
have you know, I what okay,

1962
02:12:50,640 --> 02:12:56,159
the shuffling the chips, what is
it? What is the you take two

1963
02:12:56,239 --> 02:12:58,680
stacks and you make them one with
one hand? Shot, Like, shut

1964
02:12:58,720 --> 02:13:03,199
the fuck up. You know interlaced
televisions, It's like that with chips.

1965
02:13:03,239 --> 02:13:05,880
He's interlacing each chip into one another. Now, Jeff, do you know

1966
02:13:07,000 --> 02:13:09,319
how interlacing is bad? And we
tried to not think about it anymore,

1967
02:13:09,319 --> 02:13:13,399
and we try to move it as
far away as as a society, of

1968
02:13:13,520 --> 02:13:16,960
course. But yeah, that's what
I'm trying to do with Mike's stupid poker.

1969
02:13:22,760 --> 02:13:24,720
You came in here. I was
like, what the fuck did Sean

1970
02:13:24,840 --> 02:13:30,399
do? Now? You know what
Sean? I know. I came in

1971
02:13:30,439 --> 02:13:33,279
here and Sean was yap and yap
and yep, and like, oops,

1972
02:13:33,319 --> 02:13:37,720
I forgot to do something. Shot
Crops fault. Yeah, because Jeff grub

1973
02:13:37,960 --> 02:13:41,239
existed, as I like it when
I'm not in trouble, Rainys fucked up

1974
02:13:41,319 --> 02:13:48,039
and somehow he's got a ship Briting. Oh wait, we're talking about me?

1975
02:13:48,359 --> 02:13:52,920
Raid is fine? No, it
is today, It's pretty yeah,

1976
02:13:52,000 --> 02:13:56,960
Shot, it was too many video
game podcast you know. I will say,

1977
02:13:56,960 --> 02:13:58,439
if you can get really fast at
that, like that always looks cool.

1978
02:13:58,680 --> 02:14:01,560
Yeah that I'm working on it.
I'm much much faster than when I

1979
02:14:01,640 --> 02:14:09,399
started the Johnny Depp Right now,
let's just do this. Let's let's let's

1980
02:14:09,399 --> 02:14:16,640
get going. All right, I'm
bringing us in, Okay. Are we

1981
02:14:16,680 --> 02:14:18,960
ready to go back him? Yeah? I think so. Mike, you

1982
02:14:20,079 --> 02:14:22,039
good. We have one super chat
if you guys have any more super chats,

1983
02:14:22,039 --> 02:14:26,000
get him in now super quick.
I was just curious, was Diaplow

1984
02:14:26,039 --> 02:14:31,840
three mentioned like at all? No, but if you nought but whatever,

1985
02:14:31,079 --> 02:14:33,720
I I just thought that might have
been the thing you were doing. Definitely

1986
02:14:33,760 --> 02:14:37,760
wasn't good yet. It wasn't definitely
good yet. In twenty twelve, anyways,

1987
02:14:41,159 --> 02:14:43,039
the community brought it up either that's
that's a little surprise. I totally

1988
02:14:43,119 --> 02:14:50,520
forgot attention. I didn't sell it
on the community thing. Okay, okay,

1989
02:14:50,119 --> 02:14:56,159
yeah, okay, they account for
some reason. Let's go back.

1990
02:14:56,960 --> 02:15:01,119
Okay, I should pay you,
alright, let's get back into him.
