WEBVTT 1 00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:35.399 Welcome everyone to episode one seventy eight, question mark of the Chance Against Guys. 2 00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:40.520 I'm host Robikaz and joining me today my lovely friends, Ryan. How 3 00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.079 are you? What's up? How are we doing? Doing all right? 4 00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:51.039 Can't complaining? Just you know, enjoying another sweet JSP games Cast podcast. 5 00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:59.280 And yeah, I've been playing a lot of different things, so I'm excited 6 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.920 to hear about all those things. Also joining me, Drew, how are 7 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:08.719 you? Um, a love, I've actually been actively playing video gears. 8 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:14.879 Well, that's a wild I got sick, so I had no choice. 9 00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.840 You know, it sucks being sick, but I also appreciate the sickness that 10 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:25.719 came through to fort you to play some video games. So that's yeah, 11 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.760 that's kind of cool. Let's say checks out. Yeah, I know, 12 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:36.640 Um, I myself am doing pretty okay. I'm also playing through a video 13 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:42.840 game that I think I'm kind of obsessed with. Um. But before we 14 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.920 get into all of that stuff, it's just some basic housekeeping stuff to go 15 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:52.159 over. UM. By the time listening to this, we do have the 16 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:56.560 JSP Anime Casts episode that is up. We just recently talked about fully Coolly 17 00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:02.319 Flclum. That is a very crazy and bombastic show, but also has a 18 00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.560 lot of heart and talks about, you know, growing up and stuff like 19 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.520 that. It's a very good coming up age story in between all of its 20 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:13.560 craziness. Is the first time viewing for one of our hosts, and that 21 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:17.080 was very unique experience for them. So if you're interested in that show, 22 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:27.400 it's it's a fascinating show to watch as an adult. Um. I've had 23 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.039 the pleasure of watching that show a lot because it is one of my favorite 24 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:34.240 shows. So I watched it when it originally aired, and I did everything 25 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.520 that it talked about went over my head because of how insane that show is. 26 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:42.479 Right. Um, Periodically, I've rewatched it as I've grown up, 27 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.199 and every time I watch it, I catch something new. And it is 28 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.680 really fun watching that show now as an adult, having not seen it in 29 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.479 probably like ten years at this point, as a full grown adult looking at 30 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.439 it, and it is a vastly different show than how I first watched it. 31 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:04.439 UM high commend checking it out or if you you know, want some 32 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:09.719 direction or something to kind of help you focus in on a rewatch, listen 33 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:13.080 to the episode. This way you can get your mind in the right place 34 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:17.520 and know what to look for when you rewatch it, right, So definitely 35 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:23.759 catch that episode. The next episode is going to be Summertime Rendering, which 36 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:28.120 is an Episodehi is an anime that I picked. Nobody has seen it. 37 00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.159 I haven't seen it, and it's going to be a very interesting one. 38 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:37.120 Having just watched the first episode today, so stay tuned for that stuff. 39 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:44.159 It's good content. Please check that out. With that out of the way, 40 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:51.039 video games and lots of video games. M can I volunteer to go 41 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:55.199 first? Absolutely, go for it. Cool. So before we get into 42 00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:03.199 big discussion, I finished Zeno Blay Chronicles story h kind of kind of kind 43 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.639 of like last week. You know, Drew will kill me, So I 44 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:13.080 won't saying to violently kill me at that. I do just want to say 45 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.680 that having sat with it for a little while at this point because I beat 46 00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:23.879 it last week early last week, I believe it was um it uh. 47 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:28.800 I think that's my favorite Zeno Blay Chronicles. I'm still going back and forth 48 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:33.959 between that and one um but I put it on that same level, in 49 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:38.920 that same tier. Um. This is without right, this is without the 50 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:43.600 DLC. I won't get to the DLC probably until like September. If I'm 51 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:49.120 being generous, um so jes base game. Um it is very very high 52 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:54.399 up there, and I over the over the course of this year, I 53 00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:58.040 would like to go back in and like do some more of the size question, 54 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:02.519 probably like fully complete that game, right, um because I I think 55 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.720 about that game a lot, um and there's a lot of cool stuff in 56 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:14.839 it. Um So it definitely I think has my favorite cast um. I 57 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.800 think it has my favorite combat system as well. It just has a lot 58 00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:26.720 of my favorites in it in it you know this game. I also talk 59 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.079 to Carry about it too, and it's really fun because we both really love 60 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.160 this game. Um So it's been fun kind of like getting the spoiler stuff 61 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:40.759 out of my system through somebody um that was also on a very similar wavelength 62 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:46.560 with it. Um So, definitely, whenever people get a chance to play 63 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.639 it. It is a long game, you guys, know how I will 64 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:55.519 quickly go through a thing like when I'm very motivated to um. I set 65 00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.240 out on a mission to beat this game quickly because I wanted to beat up 66 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.319 before find Offensive sixteen drop. It still took me eighty hours to complete. 67 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:06.399 Shesh. Yeah, let that sink in it. Let rib it took rid 68 00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.879 eighty hours, which means any of you normal fuckers, it's probably gonna take 69 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:14.319 you at least on Drew twenty drew, it'll probably take you two hundred. 70 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:21.399 Uh hey, look I like to really dig in. No, I understand, 71 00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:26.639 and there is Believe you me, there is a lot to dig into 72 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:32.480 that game, a lot. Um. You can argue whether or not most 73 00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:38.120 of it is quality because like side quests can be hit or miss, but 74 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:43.959 I assure you there is eno blade special it is. Um. I will 75 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:48.800 say that it does have a really good character quests, right, and and 76 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:57.160 that's how two was, Like they were a really good character quest for pretty 77 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.439 pretty lame right. Um. Yeah, I think the character quests in this 78 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:08.759 game are much stronger than twos. Cool. Um, So keep that in 79 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.959 mind. And I think there's more of them less grinding than two, because 80 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.279 like that was an issue I had with two, where like trying to flesh 81 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.519 out all the character stories required a lot of grinding because you had to level 82 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:30.920 of their blade levels. So there's no grinding in that sense. Um I 83 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:33.920 I would say there's very little actual grinding to do in this game. Um. 84 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:40.160 There is a there is a mechanic in place that helps prevent that or 85 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:47.040 helps like uh mitigate that. Um, where like normally, if that mechanic 86 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:49.560 was not in place, there would be a lot of grinding involved. But 87 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.639 there's a there's a cool thing to kind of like mitigate that stuff. And 88 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.399 it's like, all right, this isn't nearly as bad as a yes. 89 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.839 And in the way that you in the way that two does it right, 90 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.439 like it is awful. How to handles field skills in three, it's more 91 00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:13.839 like, uh, you gain like a permanent like field skill right where it's 92 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:18.519 like it's awful. So it's like you get past a certain point, it's 93 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.360 like, okay, now you can climb this certain thing. Cool. You 94 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.040 never have to do any menuing though switching. It's just cool. Now you 95 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.600 have access to more areas, go do the thing. Um, there's no 96 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.560 grinding involved. It's just I complete a quest, I get a new skill. 97 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:37.200 Cool, I could do more exploration, simple, easy done. I'll 98 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.919 appreciate. Yeah, it's oh my god, it's great from that standpoint. 99 00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:48.320 Um, so it's it's cool. Man. I really like that game. 100 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.559 I cried at the end. There's very there's one very specific frame in the 101 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.720 ending where I did like the hardest I roll and it's Drew, You're gonna 102 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:07.039 Dell. Immediately my eyes could not roll farther. It's to the back of 103 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.919 my head and I cracked up. But all at all, it is a 104 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.879 fantastic ending, Like it's a great start, and I think if they land 105 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:22.600 the plane very very well. Um yeah, with that out of the way, 106 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.720 I have also been playing a lot of Final Fantasy sixteen, a lot 107 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:31.080 of Final Fantasy sixteen. Um. If I was not busy yesterday, because 108 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.399 I did spend most of the day out of the house, I probably would 109 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:41.840 be done right now. Like I feel like I am at the I'm close 110 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.159 to like the end. It wouldn't surprise me if, like we get off 111 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.120 this call, an hour and a half goes by and I'm at like the 112 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.120 point of no return, if there is a point of quote unquote point of 113 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:54.799 no return, right, Um, so I'm there, I'm at the gates. 114 00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:03.399 I love this game. Um, I don't know. I've been struggling 115 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:07.360 to figure out how I wanted to talk about this game, because it does 116 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:13.080 a lot of things I think really smart and really really well done. Um, 117 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:18.000 but I kind of got, like some earlier pressons out the way last 118 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.360 time, I know Drew you started it. I wanted to see, like 119 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.639 where you are currently feeling, because like I was very high on the demo 120 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:30.039 um in. I was really excited to get into it, and I had 121 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.840 touched it, but I know you hadn't had a chance to touch it at 122 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:33.559 that point, So I would I want to know, like, where do 123 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:39.559 you stand on everything? All? Right? Do we want to do this 124 00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.679 now or do we want to go over the other stuff that I want to 125 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:46.039 talk about? I mean we can, you can lead on, okay, 126 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.440 So before we get into the final things sixteen discussion, like, did you 127 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.840 have any other games you want to talk about? Or was just sixteen? 128 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:58.080 It was Sam Blade and sixteen was was my goal, Okay, So I 129 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.679 was using that as like a sort of transition since we both played both of 130 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.440 them. But if you want to go into a different thing, sure, 131 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.960 well now, well, well we'll go in a sixteen here. Um. 132 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:16.039 So I have been playing All Phantasy sixteen a little later than other folks because 133 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:24.240 the game just isn't grabbing me um in the same way I would expect, 134 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:30.360 you know what. I had a lot of uh, what's the word I'm 135 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:35.679 looking for? I had a lot of preconceived notions about this game, and 136 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:41.399 I'm seeing those preconceived notions like really not come to fruition and like it's not 137 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:46.639 grabbing me in the way I was expecting to. Uh, and like the 138 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.399 game does things that I think, I'm like, Okay, that was really 139 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.720 cool, but then the game like immediately flips and then something that kind of 140 00:11:54.759 --> 00:12:03.480 annoys me. And like I don't have the background of you know, being 141 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.879 uh being a fan of a yoship game before. I didn't play Final Fantasy 142 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.159 or fourteen. Really I played like maybe ten hours of it. Uh. 143 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.639 It also didn't really grab me, but I figured that was like more of 144 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.720 the MMO style thing. Uh, and my moos just aren't really my thing. 145 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:26.360 Um. Now, one'll a very long time to get it hooks in 146 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:31.799 anyway by like by default to be to be quite honest, fare um. 147 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:39.320 But but for me, for sixteen, like among like almost in every aspect, 148 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.440 I'm just like, this is good. But I was expecting so much 149 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:50.360 more. I think, um, like a basic like really high expectations that 150 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.879 I think said basically I think so um, I mean, for one, 151 00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.720 uh, so I feel like the game started off pretty strong in terms of 152 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.600 its story. But like, as I've played more, every story beat I 153 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:11.919 have encountered has been pretty like by the numbers and like I saw coming from 154 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:18.399 a mile away, um, and I was just like, man for a 155 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:24.639 game that's supposed to be like very Game of Thrones inspired, this feels very 156 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:30.840 like cut and dry and by the numbers and like, I don't know, 157 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:35.399 it's just it's not it's not doing the things I wanted to do. I 158 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.879 guess. I mean, so far, it's it's pretty standard in terms of 159 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:45.240 storytelling. Like there's some moments that like, there are definitely some moments where 160 00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:48.600 I feel like I'm supposed to feel something here and I'm not, which is 161 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:54.320 wild because I wear my fucking emotions on my sleep. I probably pixel on 162 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.480 the other game that I've played, so like, like these are supposed to 163 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:03.799 be actually like people and and just it's it's it's missing the mark for me 164 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:09.240 a bit in terms of the story and telling. Um, the music, 165 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:16.320 I think the music is really good. I do think that I am not 166 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:22.960 the biggest fan of Silken style. Solkin has a very particular style where like 167 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:26.720 the music is very good in the moment, it's it's very good don't get 168 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.399 me wrong, Like I think, like on fucking paper, like you spell 169 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:35.360 this out, the songs are very good, but like they're so active and 170 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.320 like there's a lot of things going on in these songs that like, I 171 00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:43.840 find it really hard to lose the melody and therefore the songs end up not 172 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:52.039 being memorable to me, if that makes sense. Uh. The part that 173 00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:56.120 that that kind of made me go huh was more like a very particular style, 174 00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:05.080 um because I think Oken has the most range out of just about anybody, 175 00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:09.799 but I think about like his entire like discography, right um where in 176 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.559 this game, uh, Yoship approached him and specifically said, hey, I 177 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.840 want you to do a classical style for this ost um Like Yeah, he 178 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:22.279 had very like concrete instructions on like what he wanted for this game. Um 179 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.279 so, which led to a very funny discussion uh where It's okin was like, 180 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:31.240 yeah, I fall pretty much what yosh wanted except for a few instances, 181 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.879 and then the entire fun offense could be community exploded because we know what 182 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:41.240 that meant. Um uh So, It's funny because like there is a very 183 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:48.799 like um like, like the music that is in this game is very like 184 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:56.919 consistent right like it and and H no, I was gonna say for me, 185 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:02.559 I love everything that's there, Like I really dig this ost um, 186 00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:07.759 but it is I think in a lot of ways, outside of some very 187 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:12.480 key moments, it's almost like a very like subtle soundtrack, um in a 188 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:18.600 in a way, UM, And I don't know, like like I feel 189 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.159 like the ost that's playing for all the moments are like very appropriate for what's 190 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.240 going on screen, and I feel like the music guides me through those scenes 191 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:30.159 incredibly well in a way that like a lot of other games don't. UM, 192 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:36.480 Like, like the scenes are like tailored to the music, which is 193 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:40.039 something that like Soaking goes out of his way to do. So it's funny 194 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:42.720 that that it's kind of missing the mark for you in that way, um, 195 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:48.600 because that is like his whole philosophy on making It's not necessarily missing the 196 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.039 mark per se. Because again, I think the songs are very good and 197 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:55.159 I think that they do fit the scenes that they are there. It's just 198 00:16:55.440 --> 00:17:00.480 the style that these songs are done, a very classical, very bombastical style. 199 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:06.359 Yes, yeah, melodies do not stick with me in a way like 200 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:10.640 for for for a track to really stick with me. It's like I'll hear 201 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.440 it and then like I'll be out like grocery shopping or something, and I'll 202 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.200 just like start humming it. And like, these these songs are like so 203 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.440 complex and mombastic that it feels impossible for me to remember what those songs even 204 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:27.000 are. If that makes any sense. I think it does. I think 205 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:33.279 it does because I think the songs aren't meant to be that way, right, 206 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.559 So I don't I don't think like I don't think of it in the 207 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:41.480 way of like I'm going to remember these songs in the way that you're specifically 208 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.240 referencing, like being out and about and like all this track comes to my 209 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:52.279 mind, right, But I'm what I appreciate is like how well do these 210 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.279 songs fit in the moment for which I am playing this game? And I 211 00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.200 feel like, and I think, where they do it right, right, 212 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:06.680 And I find that that is something that I value a lot, maybe more 213 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:12.039 so than me like humming it later on. And I think that's like what 214 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:18.160 I really appreciate it. I say that in a regard to it's they don't 215 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.079 stand out in that like they fit the moments that they are trying to fit 216 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:26.720 and in the moment, they are very good, but at the end of 217 00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:30.480 the day they don't stand out to me. Is the problem that I ultimately 218 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:33.799 reach the me humming it later is just an example of that. Like the 219 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.480 songs don't stay with me, right, they are good for what they are, 220 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:42.839 but they just don't stay with me, And you know that may change. 221 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:47.960 Like I think it's either the boss theme or like one of the boss 222 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.559 themes is relatively sticking with me, and Ron and I have like I talked 223 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:56.519 with my buddy our own and we both have had agreed that it's probably one 224 00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:02.359 of her favorite songs in the ost so far. Um and like things like 225 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:06.200 the Acon battle Like the Acon Battle song is pretty tight, and I've noticed 226 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.000 that they're using the same theme for every Acon Battle fight, or at least 227 00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:12.039 the ones that I've done so far. And I'm like, Okay, that's 228 00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:18.400 cool. I'm about that, Like those songs are good, and I don't 229 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:23.759 know, it's just I think the soundtrack is good. I just wish the 230 00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:33.079 track stood out to me a bit more understandable understandable. And then finally, 231 00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:37.079 I think the the the biggest offender to me in this game is the combat. 232 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.759 Um. I don't know if I really care for the combat in this 233 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:49.559 game. Um, you know, I play a wide range of action orpgs 234 00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:59.519 from Ease to fucking Trials and Mona to I don't know, you name it 235 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:07.359 a problem, blayed it like Zeno Blades. I've played various action battle systems, 236 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:11.119 and like, something about this system just feels very basic, especially coming 237 00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:18.079 from the Devil May Cry battle director. Well, and I mean this respectfully, 238 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:22.160 when you said that this game is Deviloman Cry, I'm going to respectfully 239 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:25.160 disagree with you. I do not get that feeling. When I'm playing this 240 00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:30.200 battle system. It feels very cut and dry. When you're fighting smaller enemies. 241 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.359 It's fine. It does feel a little bit like Devilman Cry because like 242 00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:37.920 you can juggle enemies and like they go flying all over the place, and 243 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:44.839 like that part's cool. I mean, yes you do. But the problem 244 00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:48.400 is it's like those fights are few and far between, and your fights you 245 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:52.160 encounter more or enemies with like will gauges which are like mini bosses, or 246 00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:56.119 just like bigger enemies that you encounter more and more and more as the game 247 00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:02.440 goes on, and these fights feel like a slog essentially. What it is 248 00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:04.359 is. It reminds me very much of like boss fights and Tales of a 249 00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:08.599 Rise, where like you have like this very fluid battle system where like you're 250 00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:12.039 going through and you're doing all like these crazy attacks and these juggles, and 251 00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:17.200 then you go into a fight against a tougher enemy, whether it be a 252 00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:21.279 boss fight or even a mid boss or just an enemy with heavy armor, 253 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:25.640 and like all these wild actions that you want to do you can't do because 254 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.200 the enemy that you are fighting just doesn't care and we'll swing on through all 255 00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:37.839 of your attacks. And Demigra has those like that. That's what boss fights 256 00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:41.599 are. The woman cry. But my issue with this is like the and 257 00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.880 this is just so far anyway, I haven't gotten to the actual boss fights 258 00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:52.079 yet, the mini boss fights. The enemies have way too much help. 259 00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.000 It takes forever to break down their will to stagger them so you can just 260 00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:00.359 like unload like all of your attacks and do as much of damage. They're 261 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.880 just sitting there on the ground staggered, and like, I don't know, 262 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:08.240 it just it gets very repetitive and not very fun after a while, because 263 00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.680 like you have to sit here, you have to dodge these attacks, and 264 00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:17.559 like they're so telegraphed. They're like, Okay, here comes speak swing, 265 00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:21.119 we dodge, we do some damage, we do some will damage. Okay, 266 00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:23.559 they're half stunned. Now we can do like a little bit of damage. 267 00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:26.440 And then we get back to doing it and bring down the other half 268 00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.440 the wiel gage and now they're staggered, and now like you unload on them 269 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.599 and that did maybe like a third of their life bar, and now we 270 00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:37.640 have to go through it again and knock them down and then eventually like they 271 00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:44.960 die, and that gets like I feel like those fights are five minutes longer 272 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.480 than they need to be, and like it gets to a point where I 273 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.720 just get annoyed at those fights because I just want them over and done with 274 00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:55.200 and I want to them like keep moving them on, because I don't find 275 00:22:55.240 --> 00:23:02.319 those fights fun or engaging. They've kind of juxtapositions with the boss fights because 276 00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:06.319 the boss fights are so grand use I do enjoy them, or at least 277 00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:10.799 the real boss fights that I've done thus far, like the Garuda boss fight 278 00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.559 or the Free boss fight, like those were really fun and really cool and 279 00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:19.200 like very cinematic, but at the same time, those also do things that 280 00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:26.720 I don't really care about. Like there's a greater emphasis on QTEs, which 281 00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:33.480 personally I'm not a big fan of. I find them really like off putting, 282 00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:36.079 like they pulled me out of the game, and like there's all these 283 00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:40.440 powerficle effects everywhere, and just like I understand it's supposed to be for a 284 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:42.680 cinematic effect. I mean, hell, they're even called like cinematic attacks, 285 00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:48.519 cinematic dodges, and cinematic clashes or whatever, but like I don't feel like 286 00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:55.680 those need to be there to like level up the epicness of this boss fight. 287 00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:00.079 For example, Bob Bhasy seven remake had very cinematic boss fights. In 288 00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:03.599 fact, if you go back to whatever episode I was talking about that game, 289 00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:07.200 I was saying, like that was my favorite part of Final Fantasy seven 290 00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.200 remake is the boss fights were so cool and they felt so cinematic without actually 291 00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:15.640 like having to pull me out of the fight. It felt like I was 292 00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.480 playing a cut scene, whereas in Final Fantasy sixteen it doesn't. It feels 293 00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:23.240 like I'm interacting with a cut scene, and like the game wants me to 294 00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:26.480 feel like I'm a part of the cut scene by doing these qts, but 295 00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.680 in actuality, like I'm just like, Okay, I pressed the button at 296 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:33.680 the right time, and like I can't get integrated in that way, and 297 00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:36.680 maybe some people can't. Like Rob, I know you said like you're about 298 00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:38.920 it. You just you like leaned all the way into it, and that's 299 00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:42.039 cool, but that is a turn off for me, and that's something that 300 00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:47.440 I don't really care for, and I wish the game didn't do that. 301 00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:51.519 Being said, like, the boss fights are definitely more enjoyable than the rule 302 00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:55.960 based enemies, even though like the fights are the same. The boss fights 303 00:24:55.960 --> 00:25:00.759 are at least a bit more varied than like the mini boss fights, um 304 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:10.599 and like so that I keep getting more tools as the game, like it 305 00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:15.680 evolves, and like they they play kate me for like a little bit and 306 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.559 then like I just realized we're back in the same loop, and I'm like, 307 00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:26.000 all right, the combat is not awful enough to where I wouldn't do 308 00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:30.319 I mean, I played fucking near Repelkin. Like combat is very basic. 309 00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:36.359 I've foreseen myself getting to the end of Final Fantasy sixteen. But again, 310 00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:40.680 like I had a preconceived notion that it was something very different, and that's 311 00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.240 it's not what it It's not what it's paving out to be. Um. 312 00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:49.599 And then I think the other aspect that really took me by surprise is how 313 00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:57.400 linear the gameplay has been so far. Um So Final Fantasy sixteen takes a 314 00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:03.720 sort of like chapter based sort of progression really, like it's not saying chapter 315 00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:07.880 this chapters, although it does throw up chapter names every time a new chapter 316 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:11.279 starts, and like the mets that you go on, it is very a 317 00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:18.640 page base. So they did include like an option for like the Devil mccrist 318 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:21.559 stickos that like to do like stylish action about stuff to where like you can 319 00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:26.359 replay stages, so they do like paste this out in stages. Um. 320 00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:30.160 So I look at it more like that, right, which was something that 321 00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:33.480 they they've been very upfront about, right, whether this is going to be 322 00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:37.279 a very more like focused game, right. And you do have open areas 323 00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:41.400 that you get to uh, and there is like exploration elements in those bigger 324 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:45.799 areas. Um. But for the most part, it is a much more 325 00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:52.279 like focused linear game than other like RPGs today, which, to be honest, 326 00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:59.039 trying to go in blind, I might have missed that upfrontedness about it 327 00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:00.240 like that. That was the other thing I try to go into the game 328 00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:07.559 blind because I don't want to know anything, and so that that's on me 329 00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:11.079 in terms of like not realizing that this game was more stage base. Um, 330 00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.359 And like I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing. There are a 331 00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:18.240 lot of good things that come from linear based gameplay, especially like when you're 332 00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:22.440 trying to tell like a really strong cohesive story. So I get that. 333 00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:34.400 Um, I'm just surprised, and it's a bit off coming from a RPG. 334 00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:37.839 I don't I don't know, it's weird. It's not bad per se, 335 00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:41.759 It's just weird to me. And you know, I was talking wrong 336 00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:45.599 about this, and I'm like, that's how people said Fantasy thirteen was playing, 337 00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:48.720 and he's like the first one, yes, thirteen two and thirteen three 338 00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.160 now, but that is how it was explained to me. It is very 339 00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:59.319 reminiscent of f thirteen, and again that that is just tearsing to me. 340 00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:03.920 But I mean I'm still playing because like I still have questions about where the 341 00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:10.799 game is going. A lot of the games like hey, big reveal that 342 00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:12.400 is done for me so far. I'm just like, yeah, I know, 343 00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:21.799 so I'm curious to see where we go. From here true, I 344 00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:30.200 think so I want trying to figure out like where to start because I didn't 345 00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:36.799 have too many too many gaps to have the back and forth and there a 346 00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:40.559 right. So as far as like the story goes, um, I am 347 00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:47.240 with you in that like it is so this story, um is not groundbreaking, 348 00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:51.759 I will I will say that it's not a groundbreaking story. But what 349 00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:56.079 I do like about it, what I actually love about it quite honestly, 350 00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:03.720 Um, One is how focused it is. I've yeah, one, how 351 00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:07.559 focused it is. And two I don't need a story to be necessarily groundbreaking, 352 00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:15.079 but I appreciate how it's told um. And it's like I also like 353 00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:21.480 see what's coming right um, But I also don't particularly care because I enjoy 354 00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:26.039 how it's done right, like I don't find it to be like done poorly. 355 00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:29.319 Um. And that's kind of what I'm here for, Like as long 356 00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:33.000 as you tell me like a good, solid story that doesn't feel like I'm 357 00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:37.720 missing anything, like, I'm here for that, especially with like more recent 358 00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:42.160 Final Fantasy entries that have been very fragmented or just feeling incomplete, right, 359 00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:47.400 it is nice to have a story that knows what it wants to tell. 360 00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:53.039 Goes for that doesn't need to like break ground, It just needs to like 361 00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:56.960 tell me a very solid cocies of story. And that's what I'm getting out 362 00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:59.440 of this. And I appreciate the story that it's telling me, Like I 363 00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:02.359 like this up for the story. I like the characters that are here. 364 00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:07.319 Um. I think the performances have been stellar. Um from the from the 365 00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:17.599 English cast. Um and oh really, what's been a mess? The whole 366 00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:22.400 flashback portion was really Yeah, No, I didn't really hit with me. 367 00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:27.559 I didn't care for young Clive, for young Joshua Dang, I love both 368 00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:33.240 of them. Um. So for me, like all that stuff is hitting 369 00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:37.440 where I needed to hit. Um. And and there are there are moments 370 00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:41.079 that for me are like legitimately emotional that I get caught up in. Again, 371 00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:45.240 it's not something that like, it's not that I don't see it coming, 372 00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:48.880 uh, but with how it's presented, with how it's told and with 373 00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:52.000 how it's performed, I'm still able to be with it in that moment and 374 00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:57.039 feel what I need to feel for it. Um. It's I'm not like 375 00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:02.240 looking for anything more than what they game is sort of presenting itself to me, 376 00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:10.480 if that makes sense, UM. As far as like the combat goes 377 00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:18.079 UM, this is a very interesting one, UM because we're on a completely 378 00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:22.039 opposite ends of the spectrum where I I adore this combat system. I love 379 00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:26.119 it to death, and the more the more that I unlocked, I really 380 00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:29.839 liked it in the beginning, Like I love I love the tools that I 381 00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:33.559 had, even when I just had the Phoenix power. When I just had 382 00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:37.200 that, I was having fun like learning about all the things that I can 383 00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:42.240 do with it. And I'm not like a big, huge like combo head, 384 00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:48.279 right, Like I don't typically dig super fucking deep into UM action games 385 00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:52.480 that hard, UM, but it was very cool learning that, Like, 386 00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.440 oh air burning Blade is a launcher, all right? Cool. I like 387 00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:00.200 the I like how active that I can be with the combat in terms of 388 00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:02.599 like I like how they implement it magic bursts, right, So, like 389 00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:07.319 the BPM in the game can be particularly high if you want it to be. 390 00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:09.400 And I think that's the key is like if you want it to be 391 00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:15.519 UM. And where I think the game, or rather the design of the 392 00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:22.039 game is is really well done because you get out of this game kind of 393 00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:30.440 what you want to put in UM. It's like it's like for for Devil 394 00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:35.960 Make Let me back up for a second. So the producer, the battle 395 00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:38.480 director for the game, Rioti Suzuki, worked on Devil may Cry five, 396 00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:42.640 worked on Dragons Bagma, in a lot of other action games out of dot 397 00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:46.640 com um. He had an interview recently where he said he thinks from the 398 00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:51.599 fans, to sixteen is his personal masterpiece, right, which caused like a 399 00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:54.039 big sort of controversy, Uh well, not really controversy, but like a 400 00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:58.559 very big discussion, right, because there are people that are on the side 401 00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:01.200 of like, hey, sixteen isn't hitting in the way that I was expecting 402 00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:07.960 out of like the Devil may Cry director basically, right. But when I 403 00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:10.400 when I take a step back and think about what he possibly meant by that, 404 00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:14.559 I think I really understand it, and I think I agree with him, 405 00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:19.799 and that one of the cool things about Devil may Cry is like sort 406 00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:22.839 of the the combo and combat expression that you can get out of that game, 407 00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:25.839 right, particularly out of like the smaller enemies, right, because you 408 00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:30.559 do find yourself fighting smaller enemies, and then when you do have like the 409 00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:34.640 big bosses, they are very different, right, But all the tools that 410 00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:39.519 that game sort of gives you is very very cool when it clicks for the 411 00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:42.880 player. Right. They give you a ton of tools in those games, 412 00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:47.880 right, but that can also be very hard for more average players to do 413 00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:53.720 the cool things in those games, right because those games are very complex, 414 00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:59.079 right, especially when you think about Devil may Cry five Dante and like his 415 00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:00.920 move list, or when you think about playing as v which is a very 416 00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:04.480 different character for those types of games, so like a puppet style character. 417 00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:08.119 UM and Nero has always been kind of the more friendlier to get into. 418 00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:13.719 UM, but it's very very hard to do like the super fucking really cool 419 00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:17.039 shit that you see like on Twitter. Right. But I think what Found 420 00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:22.079 Defense sixteen really accomplishes, and it does the more abilities you don't lock, 421 00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:29.000 the more I get it. UM is that from all skill levels, you 422 00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:32.360 can do a cool thing on the screen. Right, Um, it is 423 00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:37.519 not hard to do a juggle. Uh. It is not hard to do 424 00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:47.239 like uh uh if it's ignition into um into like uh torigal launch like into 425 00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:52.800 Garuda air move that looks cool. Like all these things are very cool looking 426 00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:58.360 to do. Right. But at a very like higher level of this game, 427 00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:01.480 you have the things like Enemy Step, you have the things where like 428 00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:05.440 you can take on an enemy that has like the will gage for example, 429 00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:09.239 and never touch the fucking ground, right, that requires like way higher execution. 430 00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:14.840 So for like those heads that want something very deep or way deeper, 431 00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:21.199 the mechanics are there to do that, right because you have, like your 432 00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:25.760 character Clive, you have all those tools. You you have like your standard 433 00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:31.280 combos, you have a puppet as well, with with with Torgol, you 434 00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:37.239 have, you have buster shot, you have a hook shot, you have 435 00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:39.800 all the things that you would normally do, and you can do all those 436 00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:45.159 cool things at all different levels of play. And I find that brilliant. 437 00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:52.119 Um So I get it from that perspective of like he kind of made the 438 00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:55.159 game where anybody can pick this game up and do something really fucking cool. 439 00:35:55.800 --> 00:36:01.239 Uh, And it feels, in my opinion, feels good to do for 440 00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:07.360 those smaller enemies. And again, the more abilities you unlock, I think 441 00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:12.280 further emphasizes that like every mechanic that you can think of is in this game. 442 00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:17.880 Every single one of them Virgil swords is in this game without being actual 443 00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:24.960 swords, And I find that very cool. When it comes to the will 444 00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:30.920 gauge, when it comes to Mini Boss fights or boss fights that aren't particularly 445 00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:37.599 icon fights or anything where the combat sort of slows down and it's less focus. 446 00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:40.800 We'll not necessarily a less focus, because you can be hyper aggressive in 447 00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:46.199 those fights if you want to, because again things like enemy airstep. Having 448 00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:52.039 vol allows you to stay in that ass if you want to and not really 449 00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:53.639 give a care for like what the enemy is doing if you want to keep 450 00:36:53.719 --> 00:36:59.639 up the aggression. I've seen some really fun clips and that stuff that I'm 451 00:36:59.639 --> 00:37:01.559 like, well, I will never be able to do that. I play 452 00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:07.960 a much more passive style. Um, but I think that the game also 453 00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:15.000 rewards like defensive play in a way that I really appreciate as well. UM. 454 00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:19.199 So I think having like both a just dodge and an and an un 455 00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:24.960 perry weapon perry is really fucking cool. Um and like feels good to do. 456 00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:34.119 And what I mean by feels good is like the dodge has like a 457 00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:37.519 decent amount of invo on it, and like it has a decent amount of 458 00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:42.639 like a lenient frame window to hit, like the perfect dodge. Right. 459 00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:45.320 Um, there is recovery at the end of it, so you can miss 460 00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:47.239 it, you can hit, you can't slip up. But it's it's open 461 00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:51.880 enough to where like again I think just about anybody picking up the game can 462 00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:57.159 do it at least pretty consistently. Um, But when you hit it, 463 00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:02.199 like the way that it's sort of takes like a cinematic angle to it, 464 00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:06.400 like you get a little bit of like the hit stop like to kind of 465 00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:09.639 sink in like what you just did, Like that whole sequence gives me a 466 00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:15.199 dopamine hit Like it feels good to do and it looks good to do. 467 00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:17.880 And out of that you have two different options where you can go for a 468 00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:22.400 melee strike, where you can go for a magic strike depending on what the 469 00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:24.599 enemy is doing. So like there are some enemies that will like charge at 470 00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:28.360 you where you will do a perfect dodge out of it, melee strike is 471 00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:30.960 gonna miss. So the ideas like in this moment, let me do the 472 00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:32.679 magic strike instead. So that's why I can take off a little bit of 473 00:38:32.719 --> 00:38:37.079 the willful gage. Cool. Later you get a ring, which is pretty 474 00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:44.280 cool, the berserker ring that like changes that up in a way that like 475 00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:47.280 if you do a perfect dodge, it puts you in limit break status for 476 00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:53.039 a brief period and that looks really sick. Like I get a dopamine hit 477 00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:57.239 every time I do it, because I'm like, yo, the dodge you 478 00:38:57.280 --> 00:39:00.559 get like the cinematic thing, and then he's like flame fuck and on and 479 00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:06.239 I'm like health, yeah, let's fucking go. And when you hit like 480 00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:08.960 the melee perry just right, that also feels really good. Like when you 481 00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:15.559 intentionally do it, it's like again, dopamine hit and it triggers bandettas which 482 00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:21.239 time, which I think is also a very cool thing. And as you 483 00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:27.239 unlock more abilities in the game, there are also other abilities that like can 484 00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:30.360 cater to that style as well that have enhanced effects if you do X y 485 00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:36.960 Z thingum. So there are other abilities that act as a perry that will 486 00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:39.159 have like a bigger effect if you use it as a perry. And now 487 00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:44.079 I have a whole kit where like my whole stick is just I am parrying 488 00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:46.920 and dodging all day, and that's that feels fucking good to do. You 489 00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:50.280 don't have to play it that way. You can be very aggressive. There 490 00:39:50.280 --> 00:39:53.000 are plenty abilities to do that. But that is a way for this game 491 00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:59.480 to cater to my particular playstyle. That is that is like both viable to 492 00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:06.320 do and also feels good to do. Um Garuda has one which which the 493 00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:09.760 skill tree you unlocked. UM has one where like they do the backstep and 494 00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:16.079 then it does like a yeah Brooks gambit, right yeah, that has a 495 00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:20.000 perfect dodge effect to it that gives you an enhanced follow up on it. 496 00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:24.039 So I'm using that because that feels like it adds an extra layer to the 497 00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:30.159 will boss fights. But it's it does it, it does. It gives 498 00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:32.920 you just more options for it, right uh. And and I like that 499 00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:38.360 so like those boss fights now kind of turn into for me, is more 500 00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:43.360 of just this game of like can I hit all my perfect dodges? Can 501 00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:50.400 I hit my Peri's like I'm playing around. Uh, I'm playing around the 502 00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:53.719 bosses attacks, right uh? And I haven't And I have enough ability to 503 00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:58.760 like that wilfo gage goes down pretty quickly, like I I will concede to 504 00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:01.079 the to the point that, like the beginning of that game, it does 505 00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:04.119 take a little bit to knock that stuff down. You don't have a lot 506 00:41:04.159 --> 00:41:07.920 of tools at your disposal. That gets better over time, Like with each 507 00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:13.159 additional skill tree you unlock, you get more and those fights get quicker. 508 00:41:13.639 --> 00:41:22.760 Believe me, they do. UM and I I wish that it wasn't such 509 00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:27.119 a slong at the beginning here, consuming it does get better, because that 510 00:41:27.159 --> 00:41:30.239 can be a bit of a turn off, it can, and I realize, 511 00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:34.280 you know, maybe I'm in the minority here. I didn't. I 512 00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:38.400 don't find those fights to last that long at the end of the day. 513 00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:44.239 Um, Like, I've played plenty of games where fights have lasted longer. 514 00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:47.960 The employed chronicles on all of them have had fights that have lasted longer than 515 00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:52.920 I have played in this game, aside from like one very specific fight I've 516 00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:55.719 had in this game the other day that I think was a true slog in 517 00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:00.440 a sense, but also I was like, well, what's happening on screen 518 00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:02.039 is actually really fucking sick. So I'm going to let it slide because I'm 519 00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:07.559 again my brain is in here. Um. But I had fun with the 520 00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:14.679 tools that I started off with, like I have fun doing like the act 521 00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:17.639 of playing and doing like Combo Magic first, Combo Matchic first, Combo Matic 522 00:42:17.679 --> 00:42:22.719 first, and then hitting like the precision strike with UH with Torgo, Like 523 00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:27.559 that feels good to me, And that's kind of what I'm what I'm just 524 00:42:27.639 --> 00:42:30.039 here for, Like does that feel good to me? And all of that 525 00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:32.599 stuff sort of does. Um, and then as you give me more abilities, 526 00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:36.199 I'm like, oh cool, let me play with these, and that 527 00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:38.320 adds to more fun. So like for me, I had fun from the 528 00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:44.480 beginning. But I get it. I understand that maybe that, like for 529 00:42:44.519 --> 00:42:47.079 others, that that can be a turn off for me personally, it just 530 00:42:47.239 --> 00:42:52.119 wasn't. I'd never felt like it was a slog almost at any point. 531 00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:58.199 Um, I don't know, I feel and and and it's particular with the 532 00:42:58.360 --> 00:43:01.480 boss fights like these, and of course this is in a very post Souls 533 00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:09.440 world. I hate to incur those words in this conversation, but like boss 534 00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:17.599 fights and action games have like they've I have a like a somewhat check list 535 00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:22.760 of things that I need a boss fight to do for to truly be engaging, 536 00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:29.159 and especially in these action games that are very like BPM like high action 537 00:43:29.440 --> 00:43:32.840 like combo oriented boss fights, like I need them to give me something that 538 00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:38.480 sort of matches that. And like sometimes I feel like games sort of missed 539 00:43:38.480 --> 00:43:43.920 the mark. On Matt Tailsy arises a good example of where boss fights felt 540 00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:47.519 like a true slog and felt like I was playing two different games in terms 541 00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:54.239 of like the normal battles versus the boss fights, and like I get that 542 00:43:54.360 --> 00:43:59.760 same sort of feeling when I play sixteen, not to that same degree because 543 00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:04.039 again and I can understand, like the boss fights in this game are a 544 00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:07.239 bit more souls and and where like there's more emphasis on like being able to 545 00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:14.239 dodge consistently and like get your hits in and like that's fine. There's just 546 00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:20.239 an aspect of it where like sixteen doesn't feel as good as a souls game 547 00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:23.760 to me personally. That could just be a mean thing. And I think 548 00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:28.119 that's where I'm coming from now. Again, like the major boss fights have 549 00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:32.840 had a combination of like the attack waves are like varied enough, and like 550 00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:37.880 the experience is cinematic enough to where like I'm like, okay, and this 551 00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:43.480 boss fight is cool. Like the whole Garuda experience was really really tight, 552 00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:52.119 but like at the same time, fights versus like their dragoon made me want 553 00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:59.239 to kill myself again, Like that fight didn't last that long though, that 554 00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:05.679 fight didn't it Like when I look back at it, like it I never 555 00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:08.719 felt like that fight last. I agree though that like it it took longer 556 00:45:08.760 --> 00:45:13.519 than it should because you don't really have anything like it does. But also 557 00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:16.960 it wasn't like a sticking point, Like it just did not stick with me 558 00:45:17.039 --> 00:45:20.199 at all. I was just like, all right, cool, we're done, 559 00:45:20.239 --> 00:45:22.400 like three four minutes, three minutes, three four minutes, We're done, 560 00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:29.760 all right, moving on, you know. Um, So it's it 561 00:45:29.880 --> 00:45:35.039 just stuck out to me then just like this feels awful. It just did. 562 00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:40.000 M hmm, it'd be in LA, that's all, you know. 563 00:45:40.679 --> 00:45:45.400 Um, I don't know. I'm curious if if if the game turns the 564 00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:47.599 corner at some point, and in those regards, I kind of feel like 565 00:45:47.639 --> 00:45:53.280 maybe not I don't know, um by by this point, um, but 566 00:45:53.320 --> 00:45:59.199 maybe I don't know. I mean, I'm I am committed to see it 567 00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:02.400 through to the end. I might not dig as much as I would in 568 00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:07.679 another game that I would play, but um, I'm at least going to 569 00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:15.599 see the main scenario to the end. True. Yeah, well, I 570 00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:19.280 would say I was gonna say, like maybe if the game gave me the 571 00:46:19.360 --> 00:46:23.119 ability to play as other characters, where like I would have even more tools 572 00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:25.800 and I could like because like I really wish I could have played a sid 573 00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:30.039 or, Like I really wish I could play his Jill right now, and 574 00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:36.880 because like that was another thing that like, again I hate it doesn't feel 575 00:46:36.920 --> 00:46:38.639 fair to compare to this game Game f seven remake. And again now I 576 00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:43.320 feel like those guys that compared every Final Fantasy the Final Fantasy seven. Of 577 00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:45.320 course, that's how it goes, right, you have the one that is 578 00:46:45.360 --> 00:46:47.519 in mine, and it's like, all right, here's what I'm going to 579 00:46:47.559 --> 00:46:54.000 compare it to because this is what I want. I mean, so yeah, 580 00:46:54.079 --> 00:46:59.320 yeah, And that's not like a wrong feeling, right, And that 581 00:46:59.440 --> 00:47:05.440 that's kind of why I say, like, meet the game on its terms 582 00:47:05.719 --> 00:47:10.400 kind of deal, right, um, where it's like for me, I 583 00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:14.400 don't need it to be that, and I'm not looking for it to be 584 00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:17.960 that, and I'm okay with that. Well, I don't need it to 585 00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:22.440 be that. That's the thing. I am okay with meeting the game on 586 00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:27.360 its terms. But there is I have to like the game. Yeah, 587 00:47:27.400 --> 00:47:30.159 that's also true. And if it doesn't work out for you, it doesn't 588 00:47:30.199 --> 00:47:34.840 you know. Well, like I'm trying to think of an example of like, 589 00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:38.440 okay, so let's let's break it down. For example, you know 590 00:47:38.480 --> 00:47:43.519 how much you like memories of Seal Setta. I do like memories of Seal 591 00:47:43.599 --> 00:47:52.079 Setta but you really don't like E seven Yeah, and like the terms are 592 00:47:52.159 --> 00:47:58.639 just slightly ever so different between those games. I think it's something very similar 593 00:47:58.679 --> 00:48:04.440 for me with that. We're just like there's just this one thing that's cuing 594 00:48:04.519 --> 00:48:08.000 me from being like yeah, okay, I'm about it. Yeah yeah, 595 00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:15.599 true, true. That's not trying to be a contrarian for contrarian sing I 596 00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:20.079 don't think I don't. I don't think you are, because like I've like 597 00:48:20.159 --> 00:48:23.559 I've read people that also feel similar, you know, like for for a 598 00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:31.800 section of people, like it doesn't hit you know, it's just kind of 599 00:48:31.800 --> 00:48:37.079 like how it is, and you know it's it's cool it'd be that way. 600 00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:45.559 Um, but I know like for me, it checks all the boxes 601 00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:51.199 that I need, you know. Um. And I feel like I'm already 602 00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:53.559 that going, Like even before we went into the gate, I kind of 603 00:48:53.559 --> 00:48:57.599 had a feeling. Yeah yeah, it's just that's what I said, Like 604 00:48:57.599 --> 00:48:59.679 I know where this conversation is going to go, right, We're going to 605 00:48:59.719 --> 00:49:02.519 stand completely different sides of it. Um, Like, I will walk away 606 00:49:02.559 --> 00:49:06.480 from this game going I think this is one of my favorite games this year. 607 00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:09.760 Um, and I have a very hot It's sitting at a very very 608 00:49:09.840 --> 00:49:15.159 high place for me. Um, I love the tone that this game goes 609 00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:21.239 for. It doesn't always hit, but I appreciate how explicit it is at 610 00:49:21.239 --> 00:49:27.079 times. Um, I don't think it's a bit all over the place at 611 00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:31.360 times. Really Like sometimes it just throws cut scenes at me where I'm just 612 00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:36.480 like, Okay, who are you? And like what's going on? Like 613 00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:43.199 the cut scene between like Odin and Mahammet, and I'm just like, what 614 00:49:43.400 --> 00:49:46.440 is going on? Wise is relevant to me? Oh? Like I had 615 00:49:47.519 --> 00:49:51.400 like, well, I'm sure I will. I would hope that the game 616 00:49:51.400 --> 00:49:54.159 can tell me what the is going on, but like at that time, 617 00:49:54.199 --> 00:49:57.960 I'm just like, what is this going on? This? Nothing knew what 618 00:49:58.119 --> 00:50:01.039 was going on in the story. I have zero context to this. I 619 00:50:01.199 --> 00:50:06.000 have like I can kind of guess who Odin is, Like I kind of 620 00:50:06.039 --> 00:50:09.199 get that, but like I have no idea who this dude he's fighting is. 621 00:50:12.199 --> 00:50:14.960 So I feel like a lot of games do that. They just switch 622 00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:16.039 to something and you're like, well, I don't know, I don't know 623 00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:19.679 what's take from this yet, but I'm going to think about it later. 624 00:50:20.199 --> 00:50:23.079 Um. To that note, one thing I really do like about this game 625 00:50:23.159 --> 00:50:28.199 is I do like its active lore system. Um. I think that is 626 00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:31.719 like a real cool thing. Um. It is. It is a lot 627 00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:37.639 of reading. Um, but I appreciate what's up. That text is very 628 00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:42.440 small. It is very small text. I told you guys, this game 629 00:50:42.480 --> 00:50:45.320 has small text. Um. But I appreciate at any point in the game 630 00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:47.840 to be able to pull it up and kind of like be like, okay, 631 00:50:47.880 --> 00:50:52.320 can I get a profile of who are the major actors that are being 632 00:50:52.360 --> 00:50:54.400 talked about are in this scene right now? Right because there is like a 633 00:50:54.400 --> 00:50:59.360 lot of characters and a lot of things that are at play. And later 634 00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:05.079 there is a there's a even bigger active time lore system that is in play. 635 00:51:05.400 --> 00:51:13.280 Um. That's think it's cooling. Yes. Uh. So anytime you're 636 00:51:13.320 --> 00:51:19.880 in a cut scene, um, you just hold the touch pad button uh, 637 00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:22.840 and it brings up a window. Um. And it's basically like a 638 00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:27.360 bunch of bubbles uh. And basically it could be like the name of the 639 00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:30.400 characters that are on screen, the name of the nations or whatever. You 640 00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:32.519 click it and it gives you like a breakdown of like who they are, 641 00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:37.760 what their situation is, and it gives you more lore that that not necessarily 642 00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:42.280 you need to understand the story, but it helps like fill out the rest 643 00:51:42.280 --> 00:51:46.480 of this world in your mind. I didn't understand what that was. It's 644 00:51:46.480 --> 00:51:50.760 a really fucking cool system that I wish a lot of other games will like 645 00:51:50.800 --> 00:51:59.159 implement. And later there's like an enhanced version of it, um that is 646 00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:07.639 super fucking detailed. Um in a way that is like y'all thought through everything 647 00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:14.360 about this world in a way that like again is not needed to understand what 648 00:52:14.519 --> 00:52:17.880 is going on, because I think the main plot of this this game is 649 00:52:17.880 --> 00:52:24.679 is very not very it is easy to follow, right, um, but 650 00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:29.320 it is very cool to help fill out the rest of this world. Should 651 00:52:29.320 --> 00:52:32.800 you have questions of like what has this nation been doing all of this time? 652 00:52:32.880 --> 00:52:37.159 Well we have an answer for you. Um, here you go. 653 00:52:37.880 --> 00:52:40.119 Uh. And it's broken down in a way that I think is really fucking 654 00:52:40.119 --> 00:52:47.440 cool. Um. So that is something that that I also think. It's 655 00:52:47.480 --> 00:52:54.360 like this game does really well. UM Yeah, I don't know, man, 656 00:52:57.719 --> 00:53:00.440 this game is special to me in a lot of ways. Uh. 657 00:53:00.920 --> 00:53:05.000 And I look forward to to rolling credits and after we record this concast. 658 00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:08.039 For for what it's worth, I think it's very healthy. Can have two 659 00:53:08.039 --> 00:53:13.679 polar opposites because I think it breeds a discussion for you know, our viewer 660 00:53:13.719 --> 00:53:16.519 base who might like be on the fence of like whether they should play this 661 00:53:16.559 --> 00:53:21.719 game or on. So like you have these two viewpoints that could address their 662 00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:27.159 concerns or other people. Yeah. Yeah, it's like the perfect example. 663 00:53:29.559 --> 00:53:34.280 And like again, I don't think the game is a bad game. I 664 00:53:34.400 --> 00:53:39.599 just I don't think the game by the end of it is going to meet 665 00:53:39.719 --> 00:53:45.159 what I wanted it to do. Um, but I'm still going to see 666 00:53:45.159 --> 00:53:49.760 it through to the end. He's gonna see it, y'all at the very 667 00:53:49.840 --> 00:53:52.599 least, because I know it's like a thirty hour campaign, so I don't 668 00:53:52.920 --> 00:54:00.760 be able to Hey, that's what your boy said. So is it thirty 669 00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:07.400 hours? The game doesn't have an hour account on it. Our accounter the 670 00:54:07.559 --> 00:54:12.960 PlayStation goes, does it? We're at on the home screen? Oh really 671 00:54:13.719 --> 00:54:15.880 Yeah, when you highlight the game, that's how I know I have one 672 00:54:15.920 --> 00:54:17.920 hundred and fifty hours in Street five. Oh hang on, I want to 673 00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:24.119 see how many hours have we're gonna do this live? Let me see real 674 00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:31.360 time hearing of Rob turning off P five. This is the active time lord 675 00:54:31.440 --> 00:54:37.320 for this podcast. How many hours does Rob have on FF sixteen, Like 676 00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:42.760 I have fifteen hours currently fifteen. So you go on the home screen, 677 00:54:43.679 --> 00:54:46.679 yeah, like on the home screen where the media bar is up top. 678 00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:51.320 Yeah, and then like it says like where it would say continue where you 679 00:54:51.440 --> 00:54:53.119 left off, returning game play game, et cetera. And then on the 680 00:54:53.239 --> 00:54:59.559 very right hand side you'll see like a little castle thing with flag and that 681 00:54:59.719 --> 00:55:07.159 a percentage. I've only played twenty five hours in this game. He damn, 682 00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:15.280 yes, yes, oh yeah, I feel like I've dumped like eighty 683 00:55:15.280 --> 00:55:19.519 hours into this game. Like my brain is fucking on another level. I 684 00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:22.679 am absorbed so hard that I'm like, damn, how'd I put in like 685 00:55:22.719 --> 00:55:25.239 eighty hours into this game? Tomorrow of the story? Uh, time flies 686 00:55:25.239 --> 00:55:30.440 are having fun? I guess it does, dude, it really does. 687 00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:35.320 That's so fun. It's really funny. Or in this case for Drew, 688 00:55:35.760 --> 00:55:40.800 he felt like he's put eighty hours in because it's a slog. I actually 689 00:55:40.840 --> 00:55:45.039 hadn't thought I'd put in fifteen hours yet, so that was a bit surprising. 690 00:55:49.320 --> 00:55:52.920 Now that pales in comparison to my fifteen hundred forty two hours in Blazon 691 00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:57.679 Cross Tag Battle Jesus Christ. That's a lot of time in that game. 692 00:55:58.440 --> 00:56:02.360 That is Nope, a lot of time. So yeah, that that's the 693 00:56:02.639 --> 00:56:07.960 that's the FF sixteen discussion. Cool beans, cool beans. What else have 694 00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:13.599 you been up to? Uh? Well, I'm still playing three Fighter six. 695 00:56:13.679 --> 00:56:17.599 I actually made it to master rank uh this past week. Good job, 696 00:56:17.960 --> 00:56:22.559 Yeah, thank you. It was you want to talk about a slog. 697 00:56:22.679 --> 00:56:29.559 That was a fucking slog. Getting to master rank took a while and 698 00:56:29.639 --> 00:56:37.880 took playing a lot of people. Um, and I'm happy that I managed 699 00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:42.559 to do it. That was like one of the first goals I said to 700 00:56:42.599 --> 00:56:45.800 myself when I started playing three Fighter six. Um, and I'm glad that 701 00:56:45.920 --> 00:56:49.519 you know, I met that goal. I think the next goal is to 702 00:56:49.599 --> 00:56:54.840 try and make it to top one hundred DJs on ranked. Okay, I 703 00:56:54.840 --> 00:56:59.679 would like to see that come to fruition. As you all know, I 704 00:56:59.719 --> 00:57:06.760 went to CEO last weekend. My record was two two, so we managed 705 00:57:06.760 --> 00:57:10.360 to not go two, which was my main wish was to not go too 706 00:57:10.840 --> 00:57:13.840 Still, at the end of the day, you know, you wish you 707 00:57:13.880 --> 00:57:16.960 could have always done better. Um, But for someone who hasn't played Street 708 00:57:16.960 --> 00:57:22.719 Fighter seriously for almost ten years, I'm okay with that. Uh. And 709 00:57:22.840 --> 00:57:29.039 when I was on stream, I put on a good show, so that's 710 00:57:29.239 --> 00:57:30.920 that's that's all I can ask for. And you know, now we just 711 00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:35.320 take it back to lab. We can have EGO in about a month, 712 00:57:35.760 --> 00:57:42.920 actually exactly a month, so I really am wow, yeah week, I 713 00:57:42.960 --> 00:57:47.320 think right right next week, so I will start grinding away for that. 714 00:57:50.360 --> 00:57:52.719 Is that as the EVO breaking off of the records, right, Trent? 715 00:57:52.679 --> 00:57:57.639 Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, I thought guilty. Gear broke there broke 716 00:57:57.679 --> 00:58:00.719 their record earlier today as well, So like it. It's gonna be huge 717 00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:05.400 all around. Yeah. Three Fighter six is over five thousand people. Yea. 718 00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:08.800 I think Marvel Verse Capcom Three's on trying to break their record. They're 719 00:58:08.840 --> 00:58:15.480 not far either. Hell yeah, very good for them. Um so that's 720 00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:20.159 gonna be excited. It's gonna be a good time. So that that is 721 00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:22.880 my current using Zone Street Fighter six game. Still a lot of fun. 722 00:58:23.599 --> 00:58:30.000 I've noticed for some players the honeymoon period has ended, uh so now we 723 00:58:30.119 --> 00:58:37.239 have to deal with that aspect. There is also Capcom needs to deal with 724 00:58:37.440 --> 00:58:43.639 the throw tech options left right. We mentioned in that earlier. They're already 725 00:58:43.639 --> 00:58:46.119 aware of it. I imatually will have a patch forward within the next week 726 00:58:46.239 --> 00:58:51.880 or two, probably sooner rather than later. I believe it was banned for 727 00:58:51.960 --> 00:58:57.679 Red Bull Cumente to be been with um and like, I'll be honest in 728 00:58:57.880 --> 00:59:02.239 master rank, I haven't run into it, uh every so or like when 729 00:59:02.280 --> 00:59:06.159 I'm playing, like, I haven't run into it yet. Even there are 730 00:59:06.239 --> 00:59:08.280 times where I suspect it. I'll go and I'll rewatch the replane and be 731 00:59:08.360 --> 00:59:14.320 like, nah, that guy was just legit. So um yeah, No, 732 00:59:14.559 --> 00:59:19.119 my enjoymentistry Fighter six is still like I'm still at a high so far, 733 00:59:19.440 --> 00:59:23.000 I still really love this game. It's a cool game. We're just 734 00:59:23.199 --> 00:59:29.039 at the part where like leveling up now gets really hard because now I have 735 00:59:29.119 --> 00:59:31.880 to be able to like with punish on command and like I have to really 736 00:59:31.960 --> 00:59:39.199 start like I have to start working on reveling up my mental stack. Yeah 737 00:59:40.719 --> 00:59:45.480 yeah, um, and that game has a lot of that. It does 738 00:59:45.920 --> 00:59:49.920 between throws, jump ins, Dragon or do you want to call it Dragon? 739 00:59:49.960 --> 00:59:59.480 Install drive Impact drive carry Yeah, install the time around d be looking 740 00:59:59.519 --> 01:00:04.159 like he's gonna I can install when when he's fucking skippity whooping in process screen, 741 01:00:04.599 --> 01:00:10.280 Well that's it's a raging demon, let's be honest. Oh yeah, 742 01:00:12.280 --> 01:00:15.599 I have been using Perry a lot more lately, which has led to some 743 01:00:15.880 --> 01:00:22.280 really clutch matches where I'm definitely like supposed to lose and i just get like 744 01:00:22.360 --> 01:00:25.159 that really good perry and I'm like, no, yeah, motherfucker, and 745 01:00:25.280 --> 01:00:30.320 that feels really good, like landing a perfect parry in that game, and 746 01:00:30.519 --> 01:00:37.920 like stealing around feels so good because like the perry can't be options elected, 747 01:00:37.000 --> 01:00:42.400 like you just have to be legit with the parry or your opponent has to 748 01:00:42.480 --> 01:00:46.840 be like really really like flow charity, which is also the king. Uh. 749 01:00:47.000 --> 01:00:52.480 Perry has been very helpful versus like Marissa players because they love to do 750 01:00:52.760 --> 01:00:55.760 the medium heavy into the arrow and I'm just like, well, that's a 751 01:00:55.840 --> 01:01:01.079 free Perry and now we'll take you to the corner. Um. But no, 752 01:01:01.440 --> 01:01:05.880 I'm still like having a blast Street Other six and I look forward to 753 01:01:05.960 --> 01:01:13.480 playing it a lot more. Um. Let's see. I also finally finished 754 01:01:13.920 --> 01:01:22.199 and completed AFO that Traveler too. He's finally done, y'all st six hours 755 01:01:22.320 --> 01:01:27.639 later, Jesus Christ finally did. How does anybody play a video game for 756 01:01:27.760 --> 01:01:34.639 that long? My brain would melt that game has potentially be gaming the year 757 01:01:34.719 --> 01:01:37.400 for me. That game is incredible. Um, I will say probably the 758 01:01:37.480 --> 01:01:42.960 last fifteen hours or so, We're me dealing with trying to get the Platinum 759 01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:47.800 Trophy, which was really simple except for the super secret like hidden boss that 760 01:01:49.280 --> 01:01:55.199 was just ridiculous and asked me to come up with like a broken strategy as 761 01:01:55.199 --> 01:01:59.559 fast as I could. But we managed to do it. We managed to 762 01:01:59.599 --> 01:02:04.000 do it. Um And but like, I don't know, did I talk 763 01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:07.760 about the Final Boss last time rerecording? I don't think we did. I 764 01:02:07.800 --> 01:02:10.960 don't think so. No you didn't, Okay, okay, cool. This 765 01:02:12.320 --> 01:02:19.199 has probably one of my favorite Final Boss sequences ad for it was so cool. 766 01:02:19.639 --> 01:02:22.679 I was screaming at Rob as I was going through this. It was 767 01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:32.119 so sick screaming like the whole final chapter of this game where like everything comes 768 01:02:32.159 --> 01:02:38.440 together and like you're at the end and all these stories, like everything starts 769 01:02:38.480 --> 01:02:43.760 to make sense and like the reveals that happen, you're just like, holy 770 01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:47.039 shit, no way like this. It blew my mind. It really did. 771 01:02:47.280 --> 01:02:52.880 Like I cannot praise this game enough, Like where the first game just 772 01:02:52.039 --> 01:02:57.239 through like the sort of exposition dump on you, where like the second game 773 01:02:57.360 --> 01:03:00.079 kind of does, but it doesn't in a bit more natural, like it 774 01:03:00.320 --> 01:03:05.639 definitely will just throw some exposition on you. But again it's nowhere near as 775 01:03:06.039 --> 01:03:10.880 hey fight these random eight mosses and then here's like ten pages of exposition. 776 01:03:12.559 --> 01:03:17.880 Like the game doesn't do that. Um, but like the whole the whole 777 01:03:17.960 --> 01:03:21.559 final time, I can't talk about it because I know Rob really wants to 778 01:03:21.599 --> 01:03:27.280 play it. Oh it is, he will kill me, I say again 779 01:03:27.400 --> 01:03:30.960 vice versa. You talk about this game more murder you, I mean I 780 01:03:30.000 --> 01:03:34.880 won't. I won't kill him. I'm just gonna burn his figures. That's 781 01:03:35.000 --> 01:03:42.519 that's that's that might be worse than death. But like the whole final section 782 01:03:42.599 --> 01:03:47.159 of the game was just wow, so good. Ah, it's so good. 783 01:03:49.599 --> 01:03:53.800 I love patients going into this game. I love him again. I 784 01:03:54.199 --> 01:04:00.239 hope it lives up to this exploitation because I have been the one who have 785 01:04:00.320 --> 01:04:02.480 just like championed this game. You have really like I have heard that this 786 01:04:02.639 --> 01:04:08.119 game is great, that that is fantastic, even um no one has yelled 787 01:04:08.119 --> 01:04:13.920 about it as hard as you. It's just really really really hit for me. 788 01:04:14.480 --> 01:04:18.880 Very curious to see where this game goes and what it does. I'm 789 01:04:19.000 --> 01:04:24.000 very curious to see what characters you end up liking the most, because like 790 01:04:24.360 --> 01:04:27.119 to be honest, I'm not sure who you'll win. I know who you 791 01:04:27.199 --> 01:04:30.480 won't win. There's probably like two characters where I'm just like, yeah, 792 01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:33.400 these aren't Rob core characters, so he'll probably like put them to the wayside 793 01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:36.800 because one of the characters I really like, so I know Rob's not gonna 794 01:04:36.800 --> 01:04:43.159 like them. And two, um, I just I can tell now. 795 01:04:43.239 --> 01:04:45.719 Granted, I think there are characters that I really like that I also think 796 01:04:45.760 --> 01:04:50.360 you will like, so we'll get there. Um. But God, Autopath 797 01:04:50.519 --> 01:04:56.119 forel Or two is just so good, perfect for when I play this game 798 01:04:56.159 --> 01:05:00.639 in August, we'll have our answers. Perfect length. Soundtrack was phenomenal, 799 01:05:00.840 --> 01:05:08.639 Like just everything was so good. M it was so good. Oh yeah, 800 01:05:10.840 --> 01:05:17.519 it's all right. Uh that's Bryan. He said, you have been 801 01:05:17.559 --> 01:05:21.800 playing many a video game. Yeah, by many, I mean too Oh 802 01:05:21.920 --> 01:05:29.079 yeah, um no, I mean nothing really knew per seing anything still one 803 01:05:29.079 --> 01:05:31.519 place, Sue Fighter six. I did get to Diamond, but then I 804 01:05:31.639 --> 01:05:40.199 ran into a slew of people that were playing and using that tacols saying everything, 805 01:05:40.239 --> 01:05:42.800 and it's kind of just kind of killed it for me at the moment. 806 01:05:43.559 --> 01:05:46.679 So that's why I kind of stopped playing. Sup FIRER six for her 807 01:05:46.800 --> 01:05:54.079 right now until the patch had out, because yeah, um, like I 808 01:05:54.119 --> 01:05:58.639 said, I probably went up against like five straight opponents where I could not 809 01:05:58.880 --> 01:06:00.519 throw them at all, and I'm like, what is going on? Like 810 01:06:00.880 --> 01:06:04.119 why is this a thing? And then when I heard about the bug and 811 01:06:04.320 --> 01:06:09.840 saw it and saw how easy it was to use an application, I'm like, 812 01:06:11.199 --> 01:06:14.800 Okay, it's a good time for me to go back into doing other 813 01:06:14.880 --> 01:06:18.639 things I need to do, so for sure. Yeah, so I'm kind 814 01:06:18.679 --> 01:06:24.559 of taking a break from that until until you know, it does get patrick 815 01:06:24.679 --> 01:06:28.199 thing. Um, but yeah, I mean I'm still kind of like enjoying 816 01:06:29.039 --> 01:06:33.760 street Fighter six with the exception of that. Um, like it's been fun. 817 01:06:34.239 --> 01:06:43.159 Uh. Jury is a monster in that game. And yeah it's not 818 01:06:43.679 --> 01:06:48.280 three according to Haitani, which is kind of weird. Yeah, but Haitani 819 01:06:48.440 --> 01:06:53.400 is the only tier list that matters. Yeah right, he's the only person. 820 01:06:54.880 --> 01:06:59.159 I mean listen, CEO says otherwise, when there was what six juries 821 01:06:59.239 --> 01:07:02.039 in top eight or stuff like that, or I think four, but then 822 01:07:02.199 --> 01:07:08.840 Idom busted out a jury against against Sky, which, by the way, 823 01:07:09.079 --> 01:07:15.519 shouts are boy sticky fingers. Top four at CEO with including beating Idom on 824 01:07:15.719 --> 01:07:21.079 his way to that top four performance. So character, Yeah, with a 825 01:07:21.119 --> 01:07:26.559 little tier character. So shouts to a boys guy. He's put in a 826 01:07:26.639 --> 01:07:29.239 lot of work for street Fighter. We've always known how good of a player 827 01:07:29.320 --> 01:07:32.599 he was and everything. So for him to finally get a top eight at 828 01:07:32.639 --> 01:07:36.920 a major like that and uh, you know fight amongst the likes of men 829 01:07:38.119 --> 01:07:42.960 Ardi, Punk, Nephew and Idom and everything, it's cool to see that 830 01:07:43.079 --> 01:07:45.760 he was able to, you know, get that spot and everything. So 831 01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:48.719 shout out to him. Good stuff, good stuff Sky, really proud for 832 01:07:49.119 --> 01:07:54.800 of you for from the JSP crew. So um so yeah, I've been 833 01:07:54.800 --> 01:08:00.000 playing that um and then I've been putting in a lot of time into Knee 834 01:08:00.119 --> 01:08:06.159 Gay on Say on PC. The God they did, they did, they 835 01:08:06.239 --> 01:08:14.000 did get me. It's like it feels us so much easier to navigate on 836 01:08:14.199 --> 01:08:16.600 PC than compared to mobile phone, especially like with the fact that like I 837 01:08:16.680 --> 01:08:19.960 get the full screen, so I get to see like more of what's happening 838 01:08:20.319 --> 01:08:24.520 instead of like looking at my phone and it being just the only way you 839 01:08:24.520 --> 01:08:29.920 can play that game is like vertical. Yeah, So like there's quite a 840 01:08:30.000 --> 01:08:34.399 few differences in quite a few like good things with the PC version. Of 841 01:08:35.000 --> 01:08:39.199 Nick, So like I've been putting in a lot of time to that. 842 01:08:39.920 --> 01:08:43.520 I am at a little bit of a wall when it comes to leveling up 843 01:08:43.600 --> 01:08:46.199 right now, because like the way the way you can do it, and 844 01:08:46.199 --> 01:08:49.880 it's kind of similar like implemental more when you first start up anything, like 845 01:08:50.640 --> 01:08:55.560 if you level up like your lesser characters, because it doesn't take too many 846 01:08:55.640 --> 01:09:00.640 resources, you can kind of syncrow your like better characters to match levels and 847 01:09:00.760 --> 01:09:03.439 everything, and then once you are able to limit break them, and then 848 01:09:03.520 --> 01:09:09.279 you could reset the characters and then put all your resources into your better characters 849 01:09:09.319 --> 01:09:12.159 because they have the higher level ranks and stuff I got and everything, so 850 01:09:12.840 --> 01:09:16.840 you can so so like Nick kind of works similar in that regard, But 851 01:09:17.000 --> 01:09:20.840 I am kind of like, yeah, it's actually really cool because like especially 852 01:09:20.920 --> 01:09:25.880 like when you're like you get yourself like one of the top tier characters, 853 01:09:25.920 --> 01:09:29.000 like a really good character, but you know they're an SSR, so so 854 01:09:29.239 --> 01:09:33.359 take forever or take longer to get like duplicates of them, to be able 855 01:09:33.399 --> 01:09:36.119 to like limit brank them and stuff I kind anything. It's a good way 856 01:09:36.199 --> 01:09:39.800 to still be able to play those characters and be able to you know, 857 01:09:39.960 --> 01:09:44.920 level through um, like other aspects of the game, like especially if there's 858 01:09:44.960 --> 01:09:47.319 like a raid or like, uh, you know, a special event thing 859 01:09:47.439 --> 01:09:49.960 that you can do to kind of like level things up and stuff like that. 860 01:09:51.960 --> 01:09:57.119 So like I'm I'm enjoying that aspect and anything, but I have kind 861 01:09:57.159 --> 01:10:00.279 of hit the wall where like there's a certain resource se how to get in 862 01:10:00.479 --> 01:10:05.319 order to keep leveling up the other characters that I have, but this particular 863 01:10:05.439 --> 01:10:16.319 resource takes forever to get, and so like it's the time consumption of constantly 864 01:10:16.439 --> 01:10:23.000 having to farm for that particular like resource to be able to do what you 865 01:10:23.119 --> 01:10:28.279 need to do. It's a little bit rough now, It's not like super 866 01:10:28.399 --> 01:10:31.279 tedious, but it definitely you have that feeling of like, Okay, this 867 01:10:31.479 --> 01:10:35.119 is gonna this is gonna take me a while, very similar to like win, 868 01:10:35.359 --> 01:10:40.239 I was playing a mental Mori and you know, I was running into 869 01:10:40.319 --> 01:10:44.000 issue where like there was a resource I couldn't get and stuff like that at 870 01:10:44.039 --> 01:10:48.439 the time, and because like just trying to continue to battle through that and 871 01:10:48.520 --> 01:10:53.800 everything. So I'm kind of in that spot right now with Nik, but 872 01:10:53.880 --> 01:10:59.520 I'm still enjoying it. The events and the you know, banners are pretty 873 01:10:59.560 --> 01:11:04.760 cool um and haven't really gotten like bored of anything quite yet with the with 874 01:11:04.920 --> 01:11:09.880 the game, like I'm not suffering like any like fatigue from it yet where 875 01:11:10.159 --> 01:11:12.720 I know, like when we're talking about Memental More last time we played, 876 01:11:12.760 --> 01:11:15.159 I know you said you're you weren't necessarily getting a little fatigue, but you 877 01:11:15.239 --> 01:11:18.960 weren't like logging in as much as stuff I had to get things and anything 878 01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:25.119 like I'm like slowly like waning off of it. Yeah, and then then 879 01:11:25.239 --> 01:11:29.239 like I haven't gotten I haven't gotten to that point yet. Um, but 880 01:11:29.960 --> 01:11:35.159 you know, I definitely couldn't like notice and understand like why it could get 881 01:11:35.199 --> 01:11:39.439 to that point and stuff I gotten anything. So yeah, um so, 882 01:11:39.960 --> 01:11:43.840 but it's it's been pretty fun. Um And like I said, there's nothing 883 01:11:43.960 --> 01:11:46.600 really thrilling about the gameplay. It's this point and click and shoot things and 884 01:11:46.880 --> 01:11:49.319 there you go. That's it's it's a light gun shooter. Yeah, it's 885 01:11:49.319 --> 01:11:54.479 a light gun shooter IPG. Yeah. But but with that said, it's 886 01:11:54.560 --> 01:11:57.439 a lot easier for me personally in a way. It's a lot easier to 887 01:11:57.600 --> 01:12:00.199 navigate on PC and everything stuff like that. So that's where I've been putting 888 01:12:00.199 --> 01:12:06.039 a lot of my time into that. Um uh let's see as far as 889 01:12:06.079 --> 01:12:11.920 like anything else I played lately, nothing really. I did Boots mus Dash 890 01:12:12.000 --> 01:12:17.000 back up because they just released new stuff for their six year celebration, so 891 01:12:17.159 --> 01:12:20.600 they released like another character skin and some new songs and stuff. I gotten 892 01:12:20.640 --> 01:12:26.680 everything. Um that Rhythm game is probably my favorite rhythm be able to play, 893 01:12:26.720 --> 01:12:30.199 to be honest, like another like I know, like Project Diva is 894 01:12:30.760 --> 01:12:32.319 like the most popular one, most likely out of all of them, and 895 01:12:32.359 --> 01:12:35.319 I still enjoy it. But yeah, I don't know, it's all about 896 01:12:35.399 --> 01:12:39.319 mus Dash, Like I really liked their ost and the tracks that shows stuff 897 01:12:39.319 --> 01:12:42.800 like that, and it probably because, like you know, there's a lot 898 01:12:42.840 --> 01:12:45.359 of different like variety with it that I'm kind of like, yeah, I 899 01:12:45.439 --> 01:12:49.000 can get behind this, especially like all the different collabs they've done, from 900 01:12:49.399 --> 01:12:54.039 you know, DJ Max being included in there to like the ark Night collab 901 01:12:54.119 --> 01:12:58.279 that they did a while back and stuff, and so like they have like 902 01:12:58.359 --> 01:13:02.880 a lot of neat, neat little cloud of variety in there. Yeah, 903 01:13:03.000 --> 01:13:09.479 so I think that's kind of where I'm where I'm at with that. But 904 01:13:09.680 --> 01:13:13.800 I mean, yeah, I mean outside of that, that's been pretty much 905 01:13:13.840 --> 01:13:19.800 it nothing really too new or like you know, nothing I can really provide 906 01:13:19.840 --> 01:13:25.840 a super in depth discussion with because like, you know, did you see 907 01:13:25.960 --> 01:13:29.840 the updates happening to kind of return? I? Oh you know what, 908 01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:38.560 yes I did. Um uh yeah, it's taken away my one reason why 909 01:13:38.560 --> 01:13:43.680 I played the game to begin with. I think, yeah, and that 910 01:13:43.920 --> 01:13:48.840 makes me super sad. It's unfortunate, dude. Yeah, you know what 911 01:13:49.119 --> 01:13:51.800 I was. I was on a happy note and then I got brought up 912 01:13:51.840 --> 01:13:57.239 and I'm like, oh yeah, bad feelings. Yeah, I want I 913 01:13:57.359 --> 01:14:00.920 wanted to talk to you about it or want to see if you had saw 914 01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:03.560 it, you know, because like so for anybody, for anybody that doesn't 915 01:14:03.600 --> 01:14:06.760 know, like the Try to Return. They're finally going into that one point 916 01:14:06.840 --> 01:14:11.880 zero very very soon, um, which is very cool, right, Like 917 01:14:11.960 --> 01:14:15.039 that game was in like early access band a period for the past like year 918 01:14:15.079 --> 01:14:17.039 and a half or however long we've been talking about that game. UM, 919 01:14:17.119 --> 01:14:19.600 so it's cool that they finally got to a point where they're doing one point 920 01:14:19.640 --> 01:14:24.880 oh. And they did an animation like teaser trailer thing that actually is really 921 01:14:24.920 --> 01:14:31.399 sick looking. Yeah yeah, yeah, Nikias in it. Um. And 922 01:14:31.479 --> 01:14:34.119 they announced like a bunch of new characters that are coming, which they all 923 01:14:34.199 --> 01:14:39.399 look really fucking cool. Yes they did, Yes, they do. Here's 924 01:14:39.439 --> 01:14:45.520 the problem, so they, due to like server a population, especially within 925 01:14:45.680 --> 01:14:51.000 the West, and how it's like been pretty low, they are disabling the 926 01:14:51.199 --> 01:14:59.000 solo play and focusing on squad play, and it's me super super sad. 927 01:14:59.560 --> 01:15:02.560 It is really unfortunate because one of the highlights of this game was the fact 928 01:15:02.600 --> 01:15:06.199 that you can pick it up by yourself and just play it. You know. 929 01:15:08.079 --> 01:15:11.760 Yeah, that is how I've played most of my time with the Turn 930 01:15:11.800 --> 01:15:15.239 of Return, with some duos here and there Withdrew, but it was always 931 01:15:15.239 --> 01:15:18.079 a case of, like I wanted to play it, I could just split 932 01:15:18.159 --> 01:15:24.760 it up and play myself, and I am good and I don't think I 933 01:15:24.800 --> 01:15:27.479 don't play well with others. So that's why I like, you know, 934 01:15:27.680 --> 01:15:32.640 I yeah, I enjoyed the solo mode aspect because I was just like neat, 935 01:15:32.840 --> 01:15:35.880 I can play this game and just you know, do my own thing, 936 01:15:35.960 --> 01:15:41.000 and hey, if something bad happens or like I mess up something or 937 01:15:41.039 --> 01:15:45.439 whatever, well that's the reason why I fucked up. Yeah, exactly, 938 01:15:45.960 --> 01:15:48.920 you know, and that that sucks. And I mean they didn't say it 939 01:15:49.039 --> 01:15:53.399 was like permanent, permanent, right, it could always come back later, 940 01:15:54.319 --> 01:15:58.000 and I understand the reasoning because like you do kind of have to funnel the 941 01:15:58.039 --> 01:16:01.279 population into like a mode, right because it a few times and everything. 942 01:16:01.319 --> 01:16:05.039 I've been getting like worse for that game over time. Yeah, particularly within 943 01:16:05.159 --> 01:16:09.119 the West, right, like in other areas, it's good. Um, 944 01:16:09.479 --> 01:16:12.640 so you focus in on the mode that is the most popular for them, 945 01:16:12.760 --> 01:16:15.760 which is squad. So like, I get it. It just sucks for 946 01:16:16.000 --> 01:16:20.399 us, you know. I wish them the best of luck and I hope 947 01:16:20.439 --> 01:16:25.880 they get to a point where they can reopen it. Um. But man, 948 01:16:26.520 --> 01:16:31.520 I was very sad about that. Yeah. Yeah, I was very 949 01:16:31.640 --> 01:16:35.199 hype when I saw the animated video and I'm like, oh yeah, yeah, 950 01:16:35.359 --> 01:16:39.840 this looks great. This is you know, and then the other stuff 951 01:16:39.920 --> 01:16:45.000 came about and I'm like happy feeling gone, happy feeling gone. Rio got 952 01:16:45.079 --> 01:16:51.239 a new costume and that shit looks so it looks really cool. Yeah yeah, 953 01:16:51.800 --> 01:16:58.520 yeah, yeah I was. I was a little saddened by that to 954 01:16:58.840 --> 01:17:02.680 the least. I was just like, man, the one you know, 955 01:17:03.079 --> 01:17:05.920 this is why I can't have nice things. This is this is why we 956 01:17:05.960 --> 01:17:10.960 can't have nice things. Shall Yeah, that's why because it just sucks, 957 01:17:11.079 --> 01:17:15.239 gets just gets taken away. Rest in peace. The JSP Turnal return segment 958 01:17:17.960 --> 01:17:24.840 leasure at least for the time being, it is being sunsetted. It has 959 01:17:24.880 --> 01:17:31.359 been a pleasure exploring Lumeni Island with you folks and escaping and escaping, right 960 01:17:31.479 --> 01:17:35.520 we we we've survived, we have escaped, we have died many of times. 961 01:17:35.760 --> 01:17:41.840 Yes, Um, I hope there's a future where we can we can 962 01:17:42.319 --> 01:17:48.199 go back to our home. M Yeah, yeah, that was Yeah, 963 01:17:48.239 --> 01:17:54.039 that was indeed a sad, sad moment when I saw that, Like, 964 01:17:54.800 --> 01:17:59.920 yeah, that sucks. Rest in peace. Um, but as you said, 965 01:18:00.159 --> 01:18:02.039 they didn't say it was permanent. It's just for the time being. 966 01:18:02.640 --> 01:18:06.680 Yeah, just focus focus in on on what's succeeding and go from there. 967 01:18:08.880 --> 01:18:13.680 Wash from the best luck. Yeah, if they have definitely come a long 968 01:18:13.800 --> 01:18:17.279 way from really where they were to what it is now. So, like 969 01:18:17.319 --> 01:18:20.479 I said, I'm so happy for him. I still hope nothing but the 970 01:18:20.560 --> 01:18:26.000 best. But yeah, it's just like just you know, bring it back 971 01:18:26.039 --> 01:18:29.439 at some point, just just just bring us when it's back, you know, 972 01:18:30.159 --> 01:18:32.880 just let so so we're not going away, just let us just just 973 01:18:33.079 --> 01:18:40.119 just let's know we'll be back, we swear. Yeah. With that out 974 01:18:40.159 --> 01:18:43.399 of the way, any any last minute thoughts on anything before we wrap us 975 01:18:43.479 --> 01:18:51.159 up. Preably go pet my Super Mario RPG remmates pretty high. Did we 976 01:18:51.239 --> 01:18:57.000 talk about that last time? I don't. I don't think. I don't 977 01:18:57.079 --> 01:19:00.159 think so. I don't think we did. I thought which was last week? 978 01:19:01.000 --> 01:19:04.560 Oh I kind of swore we talked about it on something and anyway, 979 01:19:04.920 --> 01:19:09.920 uh yeah, yeah yeah, SUMAROPG getting getting the remake, which looks very 980 01:19:09.960 --> 01:19:15.119 cool. Um, I am excited for it. Um. It was one 981 01:19:15.119 --> 01:19:20.920 of those things where like for me, I think I got I pretty much 982 01:19:20.920 --> 01:19:26.479 got like spoiled on that announcement in a way which kind of like took the 983 01:19:26.520 --> 01:19:29.000 wind out of my sales. So I am very very excited for it. 984 01:19:29.520 --> 01:19:31.079 I am very very excited for it because that is one of my favorite games 985 01:19:31.159 --> 01:19:35.079 as well. I didn't know how I felt about the art style at first, 986 01:19:35.119 --> 01:19:38.760 and now I love it. It was kind of a weird thing when 987 01:19:38.840 --> 01:19:42.560 when I watched that trailer initially, um, it is not in my brain, 988 01:19:42.640 --> 01:19:45.279 it is not what I thought a remake of that game would be. 989 01:19:45.359 --> 01:19:47.600 And then I watched it several more times and I was like, no, 990 01:19:47.680 --> 01:19:50.319 this is great, this is this is very very good what they're doing. 991 01:19:51.279 --> 01:19:56.760 Um, and that's very very cool. The new Mario game, the two 992 01:19:56.800 --> 01:20:00.640 D Mario game, was also really good. What were they calling it, 993 01:20:01.279 --> 01:20:08.560 super Mario Wonder Wonder. Yeah, that game is just eternal touch, fuzzy, 994 01:20:08.600 --> 01:20:13.439 get dizzy, um and I'm about it, which which is also really 995 01:20:13.479 --> 01:20:16.800 cool because like the art style for that game looks really good. Um. 996 01:20:17.239 --> 01:20:23.239 And one of the things, yeah, um and one of the things that 997 01:20:23.319 --> 01:20:27.800 really turned me off of like New Super Mario Brothers was the art style. 998 01:20:28.560 --> 01:20:34.399 UM And I particularly like don't really care for those games, um because of 999 01:20:34.600 --> 01:20:39.439 like the visualist esthetic and it just like feels off to me whenever I play 1000 01:20:39.479 --> 01:20:43.680 it. UM. But seeing this one, I'm very excited for two D 1001 01:20:43.800 --> 01:20:46.920 Mario, like just seeing how it's animated, in how it looks, and 1002 01:20:47.000 --> 01:20:49.640 then like the the wacky mechanics that are at play as well, and like 1003 01:20:49.760 --> 01:20:53.960 this is this is gonna be good. I think this is gonna be really 1004 01:20:54.039 --> 01:21:00.399 good. UM. So I'm excited about that. Um. House is in 1005 01:21:00.479 --> 01:21:08.640 the direct worth pointing out it was a really good one star watching two remake 1006 01:21:08.840 --> 01:21:12.800 that that looks fantastic. Um. So that that is like an evolution of 1007 01:21:12.960 --> 01:21:16.199 like that HT two D style that like I look forward to like that that 1008 01:21:16.399 --> 01:21:19.800 is a different take on that stuff, and I'm like, that looks great. 1009 01:21:20.840 --> 01:21:25.920 Um, I'm very excited to play that. It's been a very long 1010 01:21:25.960 --> 01:21:31.760 time since I played that game. Um. I feel like there was some 1011 01:21:31.840 --> 01:21:43.319 other stuff in there too that I am blanking on. What was the three 1012 01:21:43.399 --> 01:21:48.560 D platformer from the Sonic Mania guys. That looks really cool to me. 1013 01:21:49.159 --> 01:21:54.520 I am very very excited for that game, um, because I love three 1014 01:21:54.600 --> 01:22:05.840 D platformers. Nintendo, remind us what you had. I just want the 1015 01:22:05.920 --> 01:22:11.439 name of that game, um, because I think when I think about that 1016 01:22:11.560 --> 01:22:14.479 direct I think that's like, really what pops up a lot of the times 1017 01:22:15.399 --> 01:22:19.359 in my brain, and I'm always forgetting what Penny's big breakaway, that's what 1018 01:22:19.479 --> 01:22:26.760 it is. Oh, definitely look into that stuff. I found it weird 1019 01:22:26.800 --> 01:22:29.119 that they bring in the Batman Arkham trilogy and the Switch. I'm like, 1020 01:22:29.279 --> 01:22:38.680 that's a very odd decision. Bold one of those games. Watching good I 1021 01:22:38.760 --> 01:22:43.560 would argue, you don't need the other ones? Um, which one? 1022 01:22:44.920 --> 01:22:49.520 Arkham Asylum? I think Arkham Asylum is my favorite, one of my favorite 1023 01:22:49.560 --> 01:22:56.079 games. Yeah, one of one of the worst final boss fights, but 1024 01:22:56.399 --> 01:23:00.279 the game itself. Yeah, you're fucking good. I mean that combat in 1025 01:23:00.319 --> 01:23:04.680 that game is super linear and stuff I have to begin with. So if 1026 01:23:04.800 --> 01:23:10.880 it felt good and I think it uh over the course of several games and 1027 01:23:10.960 --> 01:23:15.279 other games also doing it, but like kind of wore out, it's welcome. 1028 01:23:16.199 --> 01:23:21.279 Um Yeah, I believe that. Yeah. News Detective Pikachu two, 1029 01:23:21.479 --> 01:23:26.319 which is very cool, um which they announced that previously, but we gotta 1030 01:23:26.399 --> 01:23:30.319 we gotta first look of it. Um. And I don't know if any 1031 01:23:30.880 --> 01:23:34.760 I played the first one, the original, No, it's it's a sequel. 1032 01:23:35.199 --> 01:23:40.439 The Pikaci two. Yeah. Um, that first game is really good. 1033 01:23:40.600 --> 01:23:44.720 I enjoyed that game a lot. Um, so that's something that I'm 1034 01:23:44.720 --> 01:23:49.039 also looking forward to out of that direct. I think I'm very disappointed by 1035 01:23:49.039 --> 01:23:55.159 the Warrior Wear game. I don't know if anybody Warriorwear fans. I'm not 1036 01:23:55.399 --> 01:24:01.840 big in a warrior where. I love those I love those games. I'm 1037 01:24:01.960 --> 01:24:06.560 less thrilled about the motion ones and this is all motion base, um, 1038 01:24:08.159 --> 01:24:13.920 So I feel like those games aren't as like, aren't as interesting to me 1039 01:24:14.680 --> 01:24:17.479 um or also can be like very fickle because motion controls are very fickle, 1040 01:24:17.720 --> 01:24:21.520 you know. Um. I hope it's good, but I don't have a 1041 01:24:21.560 --> 01:24:26.439 lot of faith in it. I would like a new traditional like warrior wear 1042 01:24:26.439 --> 01:24:31.000 a game. Um, there's some other cool stuff in there. But you 1043 01:24:31.079 --> 01:24:34.079 know I won't I won't like drag this out any longer than it needs to 1044 01:24:34.159 --> 01:24:38.479 be. Uh. You know, that would just be me talking about every 1045 01:24:38.520 --> 01:24:43.399 game that they announced and my feelings on them. Um. So with that, 1046 01:24:43.640 --> 01:24:45.199 let's uh, let's wrap this up. Let's let's get out of here. 1047 01:24:45.239 --> 01:24:47.720 I got I got a dog, the pet. Turkle's a good boy. 1048 01:24:47.920 --> 01:24:55.720 Everybody picture Turkles, uh Ryan right, where can people find you? 1049 01:24:56.960 --> 01:25:01.520 Let's see uh Twitter for now until explodes for the nine hundred of time. 1050 01:25:04.600 --> 01:25:09.199 That's been that way forever.
