WEBVTT 1 00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:15.160 Hello, and welcome to Game Spot After Dark, episode fifty four. I'm 2 00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:18.199 your host, Jake Decker, and joining me this week is Lucy James. 3 00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:23.839 Hello, Michael Hyam, Hello, I'm back y'all, and special guest Paris 4 00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:26.920 Lily. How are you doing. I'm doing great. Thank you for having 5 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:29.199 me. This is gonna be fun. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. 6 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:31.679 I was saying, like, before we started, this is perfect timing 7 00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:35.399 because we scheduled this a couple of weeks ago, and then they announced the 8 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.280 Night City Wire for this week, and I was like, all right, 9 00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.240 this is perfect. This is perfect. We can talk a lot about cyberpunk, 10 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.240 and we have a good reason because otherwise I think we were just talked 11 00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:50.439 a lot about cyberpunk and there'd be no news. Not not that I'd complain, 12 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.240 but you know, but anyway, we normally start this show off with 13 00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:57.840 the Chris from Dayton, Ohio segment, and our listeners are very tired of 14 00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.439 hearing this story. But the story, Paris is that when we first started, 15 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:06.079 we did like our first couple episodes without like properly introducing ourselves. So 16 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:07.959 finally someone wrote in was like, I don't know who the hell any of 17 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.480 you are, so we're like, okay, we got to go back. 18 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.439 We introduced ourselves and basically the question was what kind of games do you play? 19 00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.120 What's the game that you always come back to, what are some genres 20 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.400 that really stand out to you that you'll always pick up and play, and 21 00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.519 just like generally, what kind of games do you like to play? You 22 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.359 can kind of take that question however you like, whatever you think is relevant, 23 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:30.719 but yeah, we just want to hear a little bit about you. 24 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:37.159 Sure, so again, I'm Paris Lily. I'm on a podcast called gamer 25 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.480 Tag Radio. It's been around for a long time, but we talk about 26 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:44.000 gaming. Start off as like an Xbox only podcast, but now we just 27 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:48.959 talk about any and everything gaming wise, but game specific. Something I always 28 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.040 come back to. There's two things I always come back to. It's like 29 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.959 the mob I think a mountain they just pulled me back in Destiny is one 30 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.560 of them. I've just been there since the beginning, and every time I 31 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.000 think all right, I'm done, this is it, it's getting repetitive. 32 00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.760 Bungee broke the game. They do something cool and I'm back, just like 33 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.800 I'm back now playing. And another one is the Witchard three, like you 34 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:14.840 know, obviously Cyberpunk, I'm I'm super into that, but the Witchard three 35 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.520 for this generation of gaming, I just I think it is the best game 36 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:22.400 in this generation. I think it's at the gold standard for open world RPGs, 37 00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:27.479 and there's constantly something that you can always go back into and explore, 38 00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.680 or you do a different dialogue option and it goes a completely different way than 39 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:35.560 it did last time. Something I've been doing during during the pandemic is I've 40 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.280 been playing that game and I've just been doing photo mode. So I'll go 41 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.240 to like skelg and just all all these different places and I just take photos 42 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:46.639 just because, right, So that's a game that I'll always return to. 43 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:51.840 I think when I when I think a genre that I'm always in, it 44 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.159 would be shoot shooters, like first Russian shooters, like taking it even way 45 00:02:54.199 --> 00:03:00.319 back to the original Xbox Halo was just something I just naturally gravitated to, 46 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.599 you know, even Call of Duty when Modern Warfare originally came out. No. 47 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.639 Seven with something I was big in for a while. But lately it's 48 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.919 it's definitely been like the RPGs that I've been into, the open world stuff, 49 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.280 like even like Assassin's Creed Odyssey with something I've really been into the past 50 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:20.879 few years. Skyrim obviously has been huge things like that. I used to 51 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.800 be really big in a Japanese RPGs back in the day, but I've kind 52 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.599 of fallen off of them. I haven't played the Final Fantasy seven remake yet. 53 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.919 I need to, but that's pretty much me. And then I love 54 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.639 platformers. I would say that Mario three is probably the greatest game ever made 55 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.599 because I love the challenge of a difficult platformer. So even something like Cubhead 56 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:43.520 that I will just bang my head against the wall for an hour trying to 57 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.879 get past the level and just say every curse word in the book. But 58 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.439 when I pass it, it's like a I take a victory lepter on the 59 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.240 how that's me. That's me with with gaming, I think, I think. 60 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:59.479 So I do a quick question for you. I know you do gamer 61 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.719 tag Grady, which started out as an Xbox Focus podcast. Do you mostly 62 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:09.000 play on Xbox still or can you jump around believe it or not? I 63 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.759 don't. And it's it's so funny with social media because people think I'm this 64 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.519 Xbox z lot, but I'm not. I'm really big in PC games I 65 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:21.199 mostly play on PC. Like I mentioned Destiny before, so PlayStation is kind 66 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:25.120 of was my home for Destiny for a long time, but now switch over 67 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.560 to PC. But yeah, I would say console wise, ironical enough, 68 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.120 I probably played more on PlayStation than anything because games I got a war obviously, 69 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.560 the last of us Gohsta Tsushima just came out, uncharted, Spider Man, 70 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:41.079 et cetera. But I would say third party wise has mostly been PC 71 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.839 for me. Nice, yeah, because you mentioned like doing the photo mode 72 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:46.600 in the Witcher three, and I was like, I don't know if there 73 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.399 is a photo mode on the on the Xbox, but I know with the 74 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:53.879 PC version you can use the n Video photo mode and it looks really good 75 00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.600 a lot. Yeah, And then I guess just one more question I can 76 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.800 hit you with quickly is are you are you someone who's gonna get the series 77 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.480 x PS five and all that stuff at launch? Or are you kind of 78 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:06.800 picking us? I don't want to say pick a side. I hate the 79 00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:11.000 whole constant war side. I agree, but like, is there one you're 80 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.560 kind of leaning more towards? I would have if you'd have asked me this 81 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.240 question about maybe about twenty eight hours ago. I probably would have said the 82 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:24.040 Series X. Uh, just for the simple fact with Halo Infinite that that 83 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.920 was something that was really attracting me towards the Series X, even though I 84 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.000 could play it on PC PlayStation two five. I don't necessarily know if I 85 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:34.000 need to get that at launch. I don't know if Spider Man Miles Morales 86 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:38.160 is going to be enough for me to want to, you know, run 87 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.279 out and try and get it this holiday versus just wait until later. Like 88 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:45.199 honestly, the game that I saw in PlayStation that the day it comes out, 89 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:46.600 I will have to have a PlayStation five is rational? Klank. I 90 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:51.120 mean to me, that's the only quote unquote next gen game I've seen of 91 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:57.360 all these reveals this summer. But event I'll own them all eventually, like 92 00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.399 I do now ironically enough, I'll probably I'll probably be on this Which one 93 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.639 do you think is holiday? If anything? But yeah, I was leaning 94 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:08.439 Series X to answer your question, but now I don't know. I honestly 95 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:10.759 don't know. I'll have to wait to see that what the rest of the 96 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.160 reveals are going to look like over the next month or so, and then 97 00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:15.439 just make up my mind. By November. Yeah, I feel that I 98 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:19.920 just put a two eighty twenty eighty TI in my PC. Yep, I 99 00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:25.759 mean that's what I'm gonna play Cyberpunk on. That's a lot, and I 100 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.759 guess that's the big thing. It's like, I know, like Cyberpunk just 101 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.279 to stick on that, I'm playing that on PC. What when Nvidia announces 102 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.519 whatever they're announced here on? Was it September first? I think they said 103 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:39.040 they're going to do it. I assume there's gonna be a thirty eighty TI. 104 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.680 I'm getting a thirty eighty TI because I have to play Cyberpunk in four 105 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.319 K high frames RTX the whole thing, because that's just the way I want 106 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.920 to experience that game in that world. So I'll definitely be on PC this 107 00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:54.800 holiday, but console wise, probably lean more towards SWITCH, especially if that 108 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.800 rumored Mario thirty fifth anniversary stuff comes out all one hundred percent be there. 109 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:03.439 Yeah, I fingers reques three, though, give me three. You heard 110 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:09.319 anything about her for so long one day one day that in Metroid Metrod Prime 111 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:14.279 three or four. Don't get me started on Metroid Prime. Man. Well, 112 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.279 anyway, we should talk about what we've been playing this week. I'm 113 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:20.160 going to start this because I don't really have anything to say apart from more 114 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:24.879 Dark Souls two. Like I said last week, I've been more or less 115 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:28.439 just doing a campaign through that game with two friends, which has been very 116 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:30.680 interesting. I don't know if that's the best way to play through a Soul's 117 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.079 game, but a friend of mine was like, Hey, this game's not 118 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:36.360 that good, we should just get through it as quickly as possible. But 119 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:40.399 last week I said that I think I like Dark Souls two more than Dark 120 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:44.240 Souls one, and already I'm like, no, nope, Arsel's one is 121 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.000 definitely better. I don't know why I said it. I think I just 122 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.519 played a little bit of it and I was like kind of in a honeymoon 123 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.639 phase of playing with friends and like, oh this is cool, but yeah, 124 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.759 no, Dark Souls one is so much better. Have you seen? 125 00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:01.519 There was a fantastic video essay that h Baumaguy did about in defense of Doxels 126 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.399 two, and it's something like two hours long, just about how people get 127 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.439 dock Cells two wrong. I think he does admit that obviously original is way 128 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.519 better, but he does make some very good points, but it didn't really 129 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:18.800 change my mind about Doxalls two. He does when you rank them. Yeah, 130 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.680 totally. He did make some good points. I watched most of it, 131 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.279 but I don't know at the end of the day, Like Dark Soils 132 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:31.639 one is just so much more memorable than two. To catch you up pairs, 133 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:33.559 I had never actually played through all of Dark Soul's one. I got 134 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.039 it in twenty eleven when it came out because everyone said it was better than 135 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.519 Skyrim, and I was like, Nah, isn't better than Skyrim. I've 136 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.559 kind of since flipped on that a little bit, but I finally decided to 137 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.240 play through it. So I beat one and then I was like, all 138 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.519 right, logically, let's go to two. But a friend of mine was 139 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:52.879 like, yeah, you're probably not gonna like two, so we should do 140 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.000 a co ops That's what we did, and I was really enjoying it at 141 00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.039 first, just because I think the novelty of like laying a like entirely co 142 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.039 op co op focused campaign of that game. It was a lot of fun. 143 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.279 But since then, I'm getting frustrated and I'm very I'm very ready for 144 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:15.799 it to end. But that that's pretty much all I've been doing. Other 145 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:20.360 than that, like I've been moving and trying to figure out where where where 146 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.039 to be living these next couple of months. Uh So, I haven't played 147 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.200 too many games. There's one other game but I can't talk about until next 148 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.960 week. So a little bit of a tease there. But with that, 149 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.000 Lucy, do you wanna do you wanna take it away? Oh? So? 150 00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:37.679 I last time I was on the podcast, I was talked about Ghost 151 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.879 Platinum that Michael, You're gonna You're gonna be proud of me. I see 152 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:48.000 it on the run sheet. I'm playing yaku is a zero. Damn right 153 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:54.399 you are? Oh my god. So uh I felt like until at least 154 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.759 there's nothing really that's caught my eye until the Alan Wake DLC for Control out 155 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.919 at the end of this month, and I was like, what is something 156 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.759 that I've been meaning to play that I just have never got around to for 157 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.519 one reason or another. And I hear the crime boys at work, like 158 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:11.600 Michael Ben and John Luke talk about how great Yeah, because it is all 159 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.480 the time. I've seen Brittany from What's Good tweet about it all the time. 160 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.840 Ray Naveez has been tweeting about it and streaming it recently, and I 161 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.080 was just like, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna play, and I'm 162 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.480 at the stage now where I'm not really gonna say story stuff are spoilers, 163 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.000 but it's fully got a hoos in me because it has such an incredible blend 164 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:37.440 of just being outrageous, like I had my first encounter mister Shakedown, which 165 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.000 he reminds me of that kid from BoJack Horseman, which is just two kids 166 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:48.480 in a trench coat like Vincent adult man, shaking me down from my money 167 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:52.360 in the middle of the street. But also the story, just the beats 168 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:58.320 that I'm hitting, and just like the intricacies of the family and getting betrayed 169 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:03.200 by everyone anduring out my new alliances and stuff, is really really good. 170 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.840 I've quickly been I've been kind of balancing it with Dark as well, which 171 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.639 has been quite good because I think I've talked in the past about how I 172 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.159 have noticed in a really bad habit myself that I checked my phone during load 173 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:20.279 screens or during cutscenes, but obviously foreign language stuff, I can't do that 174 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.679 because I need to pay attention. So it's been a good learning experience for 175 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.559 me. But also the game was just really fun. I struggled so hard 176 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:35.000 with one particular and the run up to the first boss, you kind of 177 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.240 go through a building, go up all these stairs, and you're fighting loads 178 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.360 and loads of guys. I didn't realize that there was a block button. 179 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.840 Oh wow, yeah. I honestly like, I played through that most of 180 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:52.039 that game, not even blocking. It's punches, it's throwing shit. It's 181 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:54.840 like toxing dudes and nothing else. Like, well, it's that room where 182 00:11:54.879 --> 00:12:01.000 you get You get thrown into a room with like fifteen dudes, which was 183 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.799 fine, but then there's one kind of mini boss in there at the same 184 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:05.559 time as you. So I was trying to get him down first, and 185 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.360 then I just kept getting hit or like just doing something stupid and messing it 186 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.399 up. And then I was like, oh my god, hey, it's 187 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:18.919 all he moves out here, pile driving fools on the streets and stabbing them 188 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:20.840 and then picking them back up and being like, hey, good fight. 189 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.559 But you know, don't don't do bad shit anymore, man, because that's 190 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:26.639 the thing. That's the thing about Yakuza is, like I say it, 191 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:31.919 every article I write is like that perfect mix of melodrama but also like life 192 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:37.440 lessons and silly shit. It's no other game does that, and I don't 193 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:39.799 think any other game can. Uh. So I'm really excited for you, 194 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:45.759 Lucy, because it's very unique. I'm very excited to just go on the 195 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.360 journey because obviously Tam as well has said I think Tam is playing it as 196 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:54.039 well. In yeah he was, he was texting me and then Tam was 197 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.799 like, yo, Yakus zero, what a such a beautiful game, such 198 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.519 a beautiful, heartwarming game where you get to beat the ship out of people. 199 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:05.519 So, but also I think just the aging foreigner I don't know how 200 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:11.120 to say his name is ais oh yeah, just the way that his voice 201 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:16.080 lines. God, it's so it's it's really annoying. I hate it. 202 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.440 I wanted to as a ring tone. I want that as my slack ping. 203 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:26.399 No, that's what I've been doing. Yeah. Also, try and 204 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.759 seek out I would say, try and seek out the sub stories. I 205 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.679 know, side quests in most games are kind of you know, sometimes you 206 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:35.879 want to ignore them to mainline a story. But I think the side the 207 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:43.480 sub stories in Yakus zero really helps sell you on how it's tonal inflections between 208 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.080 all the all the dumb ship that it does, and also building out cosmic 209 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:52.240 cure you as this big meme guy with the Heart of Gold, so I 210 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.759 think it does a lot of for building up his character, but also just 211 00:13:54.759 --> 00:14:00.440 how fucking ridiculous Camarocho is. It's it's a it's a fun time. It's 212 00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:05.200 I think Zero is the best singular representation of the Yakuza series as a whole, 213 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.440 which is why I recommend people start with that game, even though it's 214 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.840 not like it wasn't really it wasn't made first in the chronological order of the 215 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.240 games coming out, but very good representation of the rest of that series. 216 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:24.320 Pars, Have you dabbled in Yakuza at all? I haven't, And it's 217 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:26.559 it's so funny what you're just saying about all the people on Twitter that are 218 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:30.799 that are talking about it. I need to because I keep seeing it come 219 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.639 up so much. Everyone that plays it really loves it. Now is is 220 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:37.960 zero the one that's on game Pass? Zero is on game passes? Yeah? 221 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.279 See, yeah, see I need to jump in. I own it 222 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:43.360 already since I have game Pass, I need to go play it. That's 223 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.879 wild too, Like, yeah, I think the remake of one and I 224 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:52.440 think the remake of two are either on game Pass or will be so like 225 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.759 the first three games on game Pass and it's on game Pass, PC and 226 00:14:54.960 --> 00:15:00.440 Xbox. So, yeah, seven seven come into game past too. Yeah 227 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:05.960 seven is Seven's a big Xbox they're pushing seven, which is a completely separate 228 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:09.440 story, and so they're not calling it Yakuza seven because they are trying to 229 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:11.759 make that separation because it's a brand new story. But yeah, that is 230 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:16.600 also going to be a it's they're pushing for the Xbox series X with that 231 00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.320 one. So it's like really cool to see this, this kind of niche 232 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.039 ish PlayStation series from way back when in like the mid two thousands really kind 233 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:30.200 of expand its player base, but also the platforms it's available on. Yeah, 234 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.919 I just look now on the game Pass on PC, it's there, 235 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:39.879 Yakas zero. You know, you know what to do? Parents, Michael, 236 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.120 do you wanna do you wanna continue with what you can play? Yes? 237 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:52.320 My god. So this week Final Fantasy fourteen, the five point three 238 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.879 patch quote un quote patch. I can't believe screens calls these things patches. 239 00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:00.799 They are basically, if you're a subscriber, they are free, full on 240 00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.840 content updates. These are like DLC level of packs that just get added into 241 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:08.600 the game and it's been built up for a long time because it got delayed 242 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:15.440 because of Squannix's shift during COVID related you know, changes in work, workplace 243 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:19.120 dynamics and all that. So they haven't they delayed, but they haven't missed 244 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:26.279 a beat because the story and Final Fantas fourteen five point three is absolutely incredible. 245 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.840 Like I said this on Twitter not too long ago, but it's it 246 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.759 feels so good to be inspired and energized by a game again. And I 247 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:41.200 say that it's I'm trying to keep it short, but so the recent expansion 248 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:47.559 is an mmrbgen. Recent recent expansion, Shadow Bringers told this really grand scale 249 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:52.480 story that kind of tied a lot of the lower internarrative threads that have been 250 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.519 sewed throughout Final Fantasy fourteen's ten year, nine year history up to that point, 251 00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:02.840 and did so in such bold fashion. It Yeah, and it really 252 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.759 focused on its characters, and it's weird to think of an MMO RPG going 253 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:11.240 all in on its characters, but it does it like no other MMO and 254 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:18.000 like not many RPGs period. So, and the way this game works is 255 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:19.880 that they come out with an expansion and then they have point one point two 256 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:26.119 point three updates afterwards to tie up any nerve threads and also bridge into the 257 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.519 next expansion and their point four and point five updates. So five point three 258 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:34.880 concluded the story of the expansion, and I was on this podcast last year 259 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:41.559 talking about how Shadow Bringers like brought real last tears to my eyes. Just 260 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.079 almost cried during the podcast. I almost cried during the podcast because it was 261 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.920 just absolutely stunning what they were able to do in the cinematics and the character 262 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:56.440 building, and because it's they hit you with such strong revelatory moments that make 263 00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:02.079 perfect sense with all the things that they've been building up. So it's incredible 264 00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:04.799 storytelling that pays off. And then it's like, well, how they topped 265 00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:11.880 themselves off there, and five point three does that so incredibly well, It's 266 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:15.200 man, Yeah, I finished it last night and I was like, I'll 267 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:21.839 have been my guild's discord like yo in our spoiler discord chat, and it's 268 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:23.680 so heartwarming to see what they've been able to do at that game. And 269 00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:27.799 like the core of Shadow Bringers actually, the core of this story that just 270 00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:32.279 came out this week goes all the way back to the original base game that 271 00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:36.200 came out in twenty thirteen. There was like an there was an optional dungeon 272 00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:40.880 raid that came out in twenty fourteen after its release. There was a character 273 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.799 core character in that side content and it kind of ended, and then they 274 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:49.079 brought him all the way back for this new expansion, tying story threads all 275 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:53.640 the way back to the base game, and just the interconnectedness and the way 276 00:18:53.640 --> 00:19:00.359 it loops back around it makes perfect sense, and it's it's an absolute achievement 277 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:06.400 of what Scraps is able to do at Final Fantasy fourteen. So we'll get 278 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:11.440 into specifics because one there's mad spoilers and two I'm probably gonna cry. I'm 279 00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:15.839 really excited to get because I've heard you talk about Final Fantasy fourteen for the 280 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.000 last couple of years, and I've always just felt because I tried it a 281 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:23.559 few years ago and they just didn't click with me at the time, But 282 00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:27.519 honestly, seeing how much it's grown and seeing how much you and other people 283 00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:33.880 just enthuse about it, I'm genuinely really excited. I have to wait until 284 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.480 my boyfriend gets back and then we're going to try grouping up with a bunch 285 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:40.559 of you, because actually have we have a slid channel a peak behind the 286 00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:42.400 scenes of games. So we have a Slack channel where people just ask questions 287 00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:47.359 about something that they're not sure about, called explain, Like I'm five and 288 00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:49.759 right now, all of the questions are just about Final Fantasy fourteen, like 289 00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:53.400 which service should I go on? What do I do here? What should 290 00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:57.119 I do? And it's basically just been really nice because I love seeing you 291 00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:02.119 guys get so excited that everyone else's in yeah, and it's just like sharing 292 00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:04.440 that love. So there's Yeah, there's been a lot of people on Twitter 293 00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:10.279 too, like just on the timeline and hitting me up about like, ay, 294 00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:14.000 gotten any tips? What should I do? What are some things that 295 00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:17.160 I need to know before I jump in? There are kind of a lot 296 00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:19.799 of things. I'm having a like a big feature on how to get into 297 00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:26.720 Final Fantasy fourteen going up on the site tomorrow or well, if you're here 298 00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:29.079 that if you hear this, because it's coming on Friday, it's already on 299 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:33.079 the site. But there are I think the one thing that I will stress 300 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:36.839 to those I'm sure there are some people listening who are thinking about getting into 301 00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:41.000 the game. It's kind of set your expectations, or I would like I 302 00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:44.480 want to set your expectations to be like, you know, the base game 303 00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:48.240 is. I think it's very good. It's not the most exciting thing though, 304 00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:53.720 so there's gonna be like the story quests aren't this big, grand scale. 305 00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:57.200 It takes a lot of time to build up its world, so don't 306 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:00.799 go into it expecting to get all the juicy stuff right off the bat. 307 00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:03.640 It does take a lot of time to get there. That's not saying that 308 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.880 the base game isn't worth your time or it's not fun, because there's a 309 00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:10.680 lot of fun to be had in the in the base game. It's just 310 00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:12.680 like, you know, enjoy it for what it is. I tell people, 311 00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:17.559 you know, you know, it's it's a really good learning experience because 312 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:19.759 the game takes its time to kind of easy you into its mechanics and its 313 00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:23.039 intricacies, Like you don't have to know everything straight off the bat. Just 314 00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:26.640 do the main story quests, get a feel for the game, start to 315 00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.680 understand the mechanics, and also enjoy the world. I think it's it's a 316 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:34.519 really beautiful world and the music is absolutely incredible. So some folks be like, 317 00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:37.720 oh, is it a podcast game? Like, nah, don't, 318 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.839 don't don't be listening to podcasts while you play it, because the soundtrack is 319 00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.279 beautiful and I think it really helps you kind of bring you into that world 320 00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:48.759 and make you care about it anyways. And then eventually once you get to 321 00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:52.440 the expansion, which is also part of the free trial, that's when shit 322 00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:57.079 gets real. So I'll leave it at that. I made it about halfway 323 00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:00.880 through the main story at the beginning of this lock down, but then I 324 00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:03.839 made the mistake of googling how many quests there were in around Reborn, and 325 00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.200 I was like, oh my god, I got so many I have to 326 00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.759 get through. So I'm excited to give it another shot with this update, 327 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:14.400 right, because didn't they say they's a got like fifteen percent of the quests 328 00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:15.759 or something like that. Yeah, they cut they cut. There was a 329 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:18.559 lot of like go here, talk to this person. Okay, now go 330 00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:22.119 here, talk to this person, find three carrots or something. Go out 331 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:25.160 on this field, find three carrots, bring it back, and then you 332 00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:26.880 get an item, and then talk to this person. So they cut out. 333 00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:32.640 They said like thirteen to fifteen percent of those nonsense quests and hopefully that 334 00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:37.079 helps a lot of people kind of get passed or not get bogged down. 335 00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:41.680 And the unexciting stuff, because there is a lot of unexciting stuff in there 336 00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:45.279 to get to the good shit. So yeah, Paris, how about you, 337 00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:48.119 what have you been up to this last week? So I won't bore 338 00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:52.480 anyone with my adventures and destiny because give it to us, go for it, 339 00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.359 go for it. Well, I'll just keep it short and sweet. 340 00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:59.759 I'd actually taken an extended break at the beginning of the year, which was 341 00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:02.640 like the first time, you know, since twenty fourteen, I'd really not 342 00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:07.200 been dedicated to playing it. And then I came back and started up again 343 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:11.319 in late June early July, so I've been catching up back to it, 344 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.559 so I'm like finally back up to a full power level with my characters and 345 00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:22.599 all the content. So it was an anticipation of it Beyond Light coming out 346 00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:26.119 in September, but now that's obviously been delayed a couple more months, so 347 00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:29.519 I'm in this weird state now. I know there's a Socials to Heroes event 348 00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:33.599 that started where I'm kind of going to take a break again, I think 349 00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:36.920 for a little bit and play some other things, which then leads me right 350 00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:40.279 into what I've really been playing mostly this week, and that's fall guys. 351 00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:45.720 I mean, I have been slamming my head against a wall and just rage 352 00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:48.839 quitting with that game all week. That's literally all I do. I have 353 00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:53.400 yet to win anything. I got close once and I think I almost threw 354 00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:56.720 my computer out of the house almost. I was like, I'm done. 355 00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:00.079 I'm never playing this again. I hate this game. But then the music 356 00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:03.400 plays and you see them falling and go, Okay, I'll do it again, 357 00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:04.599 or you squat up with some people, Okay, I'll do it again. 358 00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:10.160 I think the beauty of it is it's simplicity. Anyone can pick it 359 00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:14.599 up and play it. Anyone can win except me, clearly. But I 360 00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:18.960 can't win. But but that that's why it's that's why it's so frustratingly fun, 361 00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:25.960 because it's always just something really really dumb, something super dumb. And 362 00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:29.640 I die every time, and and and I get mad, and then I 363 00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:32.440 run out of the room and I laugh, and my wife is like, 364 00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:34.599 why are you in there yelling? I go because I'm playing this stupid game 365 00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:38.599 again and I can't stop playing it. I love it and hit it at 366 00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:41.400 the same time. They clearly have a hit on their hands. I think, 367 00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:47.079 when this, when this finally goes to the switch and and the Xbox 368 00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:52.160 and they enable cross play game over game over at that point. Yeah, 369 00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:55.400 yeah, I think as well, Like you can see all the companies making 370 00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:02.039 you know, costume ideas for DLC and stuff. They will just rake in 371 00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:04.440 so much money from that, because I would, you know, if there's 372 00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:07.599 gonna be that metal gear pack that you know I found out was going around 373 00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:11.720 one hundred percent by that, I just like it's the little big planet kind 374 00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.519 of feeling. I just want, yeah, completely agree. I mean, 375 00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:19.319 I'm not gonna dare say this is going to reach Fortnite levels, but I 376 00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:26.759 think this has that crossover appeal that Fortnite had, and it's something again everybody 377 00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:30.200 can play. Anybody can pick this up and play it. So the more 378 00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.440 platforms they get this game on and just make it more accessible and like you 379 00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:37.279 said, all the marketing tie ins they'll be able to do with this thing. 380 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:41.519 I see great potential with it. Like I said, trust me, 381 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:45.640 everybody will know the day that I win. Everybody will know because I'm I'm 382 00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:49.960 going to post it on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Carrier Pigeon, Pony 383 00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:53.759 Express smokes some whatever I have to do, everyone's gonna know because that will 384 00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:56.559 be the best day of my life when I finally went to this gig. 385 00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:00.440 You know. That's the thing too, is that fog guys. Guys is 386 00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:03.559 so shareable. You know. It's like, yeah, I'm going to post 387 00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:07.240 the clip. Everyone's posting clips, and everyone's talking about how they got screwed 388 00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:11.960 over on winning or how they did some like real shady shit to somebody else, 389 00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:15.079 and it's it's yeah, it's it's that thing where it can go viral 390 00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:18.759 at almost any time because it's that like relatable and also understandable and also just 391 00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:25.160 a lot of fun. Was Takeshi's Castle a big thing here in America that 392 00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:29.000 kind of so I wouldn't say it was a big thing, but definitely people 393 00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:33.400 watched it, Like I remember saying it see couples here and there. It's 394 00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:36.319 basically yeah, I mean like that's what the game is. It's just's castle. 395 00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:41.640 And it was such a huge thing in the UK. And obviously Takeshi's 396 00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.960 Castle problematic in retrospect, not not the best when it comes to like the 397 00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:48.920 voiceover and stuff, and just very weird, like poking fun at the Japanese 398 00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:53.799 kind of sensibility, but like the core of it of you know, just 399 00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:57.640 like these wacky things that people will do to try and win, and like 400 00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:03.000 distilling it and making it a jellybean creature who can only jump, hug and 401 00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:07.839 dive is just really smart and it's so much fun. But also, Simon 402 00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:14.200 Cardy, I know you're listening. I will end you. He won. 403 00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:18.279 He won a game, and then we all hopped on to play together and 404 00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:22.000 it was only me and him left. I think Tam and Bless had been 405 00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:26.119 knocked out. Only me and him left in the final round, which was 406 00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:29.720 the tail one and I had the tail and it was three seconds to go. 407 00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:33.799 Who takes it from me? Who takes it from me? But young 408 00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:37.440 Simon someone took it from him too. So it's fine. I can survive, 409 00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:41.559 but I will get my revenge. I will get my win. This 410 00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:45.079 is how I know this is a great game. I had a dream about 411 00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:48.559 it the other night and I woke up mad. That's how I know. 412 00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:53.720 That's the same thing with me or not not with fall guys. But it's 413 00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:56.720 funny like last night when I went to sleep, when I played Final Fantasy 414 00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:00.559 four Team, it was a complete opposite in which I went to sleep and 415 00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.640 I woke up like super happy and energized. Yeah, we dreaming about video 416 00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:07.680 games out here after we're playing whether we whether we hate it or not, 417 00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:12.559 man, whether we pissed about Fall Guys are are inspired by a final Fantasy 418 00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:18.359 Man these video games, Dawn, I have to say the minigame and Fall 419 00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:21.960 Guys, that is probably my favorite, but also the most frustrating. Has 420 00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:25.839 to be the one with all the fake doors. Oh, I love them. 421 00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:30.200 I love it, but like when there's only one door open and everyone 422 00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:34.039 just rushes it and it's just like this this mass bottleneck right at the door, 423 00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:37.680 and everyone's falling on top of each other and I'm getting mad because I 424 00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:40.920 can't move because there's you know, forty jelly beans on top of me. 425 00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:45.680 It's so good games Calm for you. There was one. Oh, it's 426 00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:49.079 the one where the hole in the walls and you have to like jump and 427 00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:53.079 dodge and try and get through the gaps. Everyone else had gotten through, 428 00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:57.599 but I kept getting caught and I kept tripping up. But obviously the great 429 00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:00.519 thing is that if you've qualified, you can look back and see what other 430 00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:03.640 people are doing. So all of my friends are on the voice track going 431 00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:08.880 oh lucy, oh Lucy, No no, and it's just me falling over 432 00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:12.440 again and again, just getting stuck and it's really good fun. I love 433 00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:22.599 the game. Someone Oh, all right, and we are back with topics. 434 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.640 The first thing, the big thing we want to talk about is the 435 00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.599 Cyberpunk night City Wire. So this happened what Monday, and they covered three 436 00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:33.119 things. They covered the life paths a little bit more. We got a 437 00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:37.680 new trailer for that. They did like a sort of mini documentary about Samurai 438 00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:42.279 and refused the band's transformation into Samurai. And then they had a trailer with 439 00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:45.519 a bunch of new weapons and they kind of broke down the weapons a little 440 00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:51.160 bit before we get into that though, Paris, I know you actually had 441 00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:53.359 a chance to play Cyberpunk back in June. I imagine, cause I think 442 00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:56.880 that's when I was able to play it as well. I was just curious, 443 00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:00.359 since we're talking about life paths, what did you pick during that event 444 00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:03.119 and what life path are you most leaning towards right now? Oh, it's 445 00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:07.240 Corporal, without a doubt that that's what I picked. I played during the 446 00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:12.680 preview and that just literally solidified. Yep. I'm playing Corporal for when the 447 00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:17.720 final game comes out. I like the fact that you start off in Arisaka 448 00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:21.559 Tower and you obviously well maybe I don't know what life path did you play. 449 00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:23.440 I did no Mad. Okay, I think I'm going to do no 450 00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.799 Mad when the game comes okay too. But yeah, for Corporo, you 451 00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:30.960 start an Arisaka Tower and then you're sent on a mission and you go to 452 00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:36.720 Lizzie's Bar and just everything that sets that up that then brings you to that 453 00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:40.119 point where I'm sure when you played where it's you and Jackie in the car 454 00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:45.640 and then you repeat that that mission from the original demo in twenty eighteen. 455 00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:48.440 But yeah, I because I love the dialogue options that happened, because the 456 00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:52.000 one that stood out to me, and I can talk about this for hours, 457 00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:56.319 so please cut me off at any time. But I love the corporal 458 00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.359 options that would show up because like when you meet Meredith, militate agent and 459 00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:04.799 she tries to give you that the chip with the virus on it, I 460 00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:10.000 had a dialogue option as corporal where I knew she put a virus on the 461 00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:11.039 chip. I called her out on it, and she was surprised that I 462 00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:14.680 call her out on it. She tries to make another deal with me, 463 00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:18.160 and I basically tell her no, screw you, so she says fu and 464 00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:22.039 they leave, so I never get anything from her. So I had to 465 00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:26.960 go to the Malstroam gang without any assistance from Militech and had to negotiate on 466 00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:30.119 my own to get the flathead bot, where I wound up shooting the gang 467 00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:33.240 leader in the head right then in air, so we have a shootout like 468 00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:37.119 immediately, so he never gets to the point where he gets in that mech 469 00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:41.799 suit that you see from the twenty eighteen demo played out completely different than the 470 00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:47.759 way you've seen it in the demo. So that's what excited me that, 471 00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:52.279 Wow, look at all these different options, and even the person from CD 472 00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:56.279 project read that was kind of my guide while I was playing. He kept 473 00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:00.799 commenting I was doing things that he hadn't even himself, and he's played the 474 00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:05.480 game, you know, dozens, if not hundreds of times at this point, 475 00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:08.359 and that excited me even more because it just goes to show you that 476 00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:14.279 there's so many different possibilities in Night City when you're playing. Yeah, totally. 477 00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:17.839 I mean, like I did the nomad path because like we had three 478 00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:21.720 people at games Spot checking it out, and someone else picked corpos. Someone 479 00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:22.799 else picks street Kid and I was the one left. It was like, 480 00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:25.200 all right, well, A'll do Nomad just so we can compare and contrast. 481 00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:30.559 But one thing that a coworker had mentioned was like, well, I've 482 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:35.880 never been to Night City before, and the whole basis of the Nomad is 483 00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:37.759 that the Nomad is kind of a foreigner. Tune has never been to Night 484 00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:40.640 City. So my thinking was that the Nomad would make a lot of sense 485 00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:45.200 to start with, just because we're both seeing a night city with fresh eyes 486 00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:49.000 and I guess not entirely fresh, because I did, you know, play 487 00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:53.319 four hours of the game a couple months ago. But yeah, I'm just 488 00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:58.359 like, I'm very excited to start off with Nomad and then go back and 489 00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:00.559 I think I think Corpo is going to be this like on for me, 490 00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:04.400 Yeah, and then and then finally and on on street Kid. But before 491 00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:07.039 I get too far ahead of myself, Lucy Michael, you guys also watched 492 00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:10.400 the Night City Wire, I imagine, Yeah, what do you guys think 493 00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:14.240 of the life path? Is there a particular one that stood out to you 494 00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:17.200 guys? Or you kind of wait to see what people say this. This 495 00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:22.200 is always the most difficult decisions with these games when they straight up make you 496 00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:27.000 not just the not even character creator, but like oh which pathing injuries, 497 00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:30.119 even like mass Effect where you just it's just the menu option, like you 498 00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:35.000 from Earth or older background or whatever. Yeah, yeah, I'm like, 499 00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:37.359 damn, I got to look up the consequences to feature these things. But 500 00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:43.200 I kind of looking at how ambitious and just how many directions Cyberpunk goes. 501 00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:45.960 This is definitely the game that's going to break you out of that habit of, 502 00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:49.799 you know, trying to look up what the most optimal path is or 503 00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:52.319 what you want to do. Just choose something, go with it, deal 504 00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:55.519 with it, live with it. It's gonna be It's probably gonna like the 505 00:33:55.559 --> 00:34:00.880 game will take care of itself in terms of giving you something worth playing through. 506 00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:05.440 But it's it's funny because when Corporo was was an option, I was 507 00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:07.440 like, fuck that shit, Fuck capitalism. I ain't going to be part 508 00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:12.079 of this. No corporation that's like doing a ton of bat shit because you 509 00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:15.480 know they're doing bad shit. But the thing about Corporo is like, Okay, 510 00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:20.039 how are they going to tell that story? What are the story beats 511 00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:22.880 going to be? In terms of your involvement with this corporation because in cyberpunk 512 00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:30.440 genre and literature and fiction is that you know, corporations are essentially replacing the 513 00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:31.639 government, so they have a lot of power, a lot of control. 514 00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:35.119 But how's that going to be portrayed? And what's my role going to be 515 00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:38.599 in it? So that's what fascinates me about the Corporal life path. And 516 00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:45.880 also just like seeing the footage of going through those buildings with these with many 517 00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:50.920 suits and executives in there, It's like it feels dangerous. It feels like, 518 00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:52.679 I one, I don't belong here because I know I'm going to do 519 00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:58.199 some like some shit's going to go down. It's just it's very overwhelming, 520 00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:01.960 like it's larger than life. And that's the thing about like these corporations insiderpunk 521 00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:07.280 fiction, is like they are larger than life and I want to fuck the 522 00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:08.719 shit up? But how am I going to do that? How am I 523 00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:13.280 going to do that? So that's that's the fascinating thing. I'm Michael Corporal, 524 00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:16.800 But I also leaned towards the street kid because you know, from the 525 00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:20.800 streets, you know it's it's going to be. It's kind of like more 526 00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:23.320 of like a self role play kind of thing that I would find fascinating, 527 00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:29.679 but you know, it's tough to choose. I was, so I honestly 528 00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:34.880 wasn't sure. And then this week today and yesterday, actually I have done 529 00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:39.679 the voiceover to cyberpunk pieces. Thank you, You're welcome, But no, 530 00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:45.039 honestly, it was like the Night City Wire for me is like I watch 531 00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:49.400 it, but I know I'm gonna play this game, like I'm I'm already 532 00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:52.039 like I'm just waiting for the game. Now. I think I like getting 533 00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:57.960 these little teasers, but my mind is still undecided on a bunch of stuff. 534 00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:04.360 And so I hadn't really given Paths much of a second thought until I 535 00:36:04.440 --> 00:36:07.039 was voicing the features today. I think that John Luke did, which was 536 00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:12.760 the history of Arisaka the company, like the law of the corporation, And 537 00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:15.760 because I don't know that much about cybepug Law, I genuinely get most of 538 00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:20.000 it from Jake and John Luke because they're doing like features on it. And 539 00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:22.480 so I was going through this Arisaka piece today and I was like, oh, 540 00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:25.159 that's really cool, and I was going and you know, I voiced 541 00:36:25.480 --> 00:36:30.599 the life Path piece yesterday, which was these are how the three play out 542 00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:34.719 and it's like the same as Michael, where it's like that I really want 543 00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:37.599 to see this shit burn from inside, Like I just want to see where 544 00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:40.159 this goes, how it is, and I just really like the look of 545 00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:43.760 it, and I think as well, no spoilers, but I think the 546 00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:49.159 way that that prologue ends is just a really cool setup for the story. 547 00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:52.760 And so that's probably what I'm going to pick two. But I hope it's 548 00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:57.119 and I have faith in CD project that will do this. I hope it's 549 00:36:57.159 --> 00:37:00.280 not going to be just like I think back to the way that Dragon Age 550 00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:07.760 two, for example, didn't really have that many meaningful choices beyond that prologue. 551 00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:10.880 You just kind of pick your hawk and you kind of get on with 552 00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:15.920 it, or even like mass effect picking your background. It was just a 553 00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:21.639 couple of dialogue options. Really like it didn't it didn't seem to do much 554 00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:22.840 for the rest of the story. But as this is a playable prolog, 555 00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:25.920 it seems to be quite a decent chunk of the game. I really hope 556 00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:31.000 it has big implications for how your story plays out. There was if I 557 00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:35.599 get real quick, there was even one thing being the corpo. So like 558 00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:37.920 I said, you fly in from Arisaka Tower and you land on the roof 559 00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:42.559 at Lizzie's Bar, so you come in through the roof right. So later 560 00:37:42.599 --> 00:37:44.639 in the game and the prologue, you know, when I'm v and I'm 561 00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:47.000 coming back for another reason, I go through the normal door and there's the 562 00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:51.880 two bodyguards there and they say a comment to me, and my comment back 563 00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:54.280 to them. Yeah, last time I was here, it wasn't through the 564 00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:58.679 front door, So there was like a callback to what you did in the 565 00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:02.199 prologue as a corpo. So it's little things like that that to me just 566 00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:07.079 screen. You're gonna want to play all three live paths at some point, 567 00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:10.280 so it doesn't matter which one you start, because you're gonna see all these 568 00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:14.199 little things like huh, I wonder how that would have played out if I 569 00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:15.519 was a street kid, or I wonder how that had played everyone was a 570 00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:19.400 nomad, et cetera. So that's my plan. I'm going to start as 571 00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:22.119 a corpo, but for sure I'm going to go through it on all three, 572 00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:25.559 just to see the differences. Yeah, I mean one thing too to 573 00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:29.960 point out. So I guess I can only really speak on the nomad path 574 00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:32.599 because I actually played through that from start to finish, well the prologue that 575 00:38:32.719 --> 00:38:37.679 is. But in that trailer they showed a lot of characters and set pieces 576 00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:42.440 that I didn't see, So that does give me a lot of hope that 577 00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:45.880 you know, there's more to these life paths apart from just your prologue and 578 00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:50.920 just a few comments, like it seems like they're going to be entirely different 579 00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:53.960 characters who will interact with you differently or maybe take you on different quests, 580 00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:58.039 Like in the Nomad section there is that one girl who seems to be a 581 00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:01.760 very good friend of the Nomad maybe you know was part of the Nomad crew 582 00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:07.960 before I guess the band split up. So so I'm willing to bet that 583 00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:14.639 there will be plenty of life path specific content. What I'm curious to see 584 00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:17.440 is how that is going to tie into the story. Like the Corporo one 585 00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:21.119 seems kind of obvious, right in a very cool way, right, because 586 00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:25.000 yeah, Arisaka is the bad guy more or less of this game, at 587 00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:28.360 least from what we know so far, and based on the lore, like, 588 00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:31.199 Arisaka is bad and you start out by working there, So I'm super 589 00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:36.920 curious to see kind of how you and Arisaka will butt heads like, are 590 00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:39.800 you going to like actually exact revenge on your old boss, Like that'd be 591 00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:45.360 kind of fun. Well, I won't spoil what happened in the prolog, 592 00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:47.360 because again, it was kind of surreal to be in Arisaka type you know 593 00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:51.840 the lore at all, and I'm walking around and you're hearing all these different 594 00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:55.360 conversations going on. There is definitely a story beat that happens in the prologue 595 00:39:55.360 --> 00:40:00.760 from the corporal point of view that has to pay off at some point in 596 00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:04.320 the game, So it'll be interesting to see how that'll play out from the 597 00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:07.440 no Man the street kid point of view. But for sure with Corpore, 598 00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:09.760 there's going to be a direct tie in with our soccer for sure. I 599 00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:14.000 also want to see how that how like Jackie plays into it too, because 600 00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:17.559 he also he's a different character. I don't know how much, but it 601 00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:21.599 seems like he's a different character based on what you choose as well. So 602 00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:27.559 that's like it to me. That speaks to how the length at which they're 603 00:40:27.599 --> 00:40:31.039 going to accommodate for your choices, because again this is CD project. Read 604 00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:35.840 and Percy talked about how the Witcher is like there's always something new to see 605 00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:38.199 there's something different to do based on the things that you choose to do. 606 00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:45.440 So it's just this is reading reviews is going to be wild, I'll say, 607 00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:50.039 because I don't think anyone's going to have I mean, obviously there's gonna 608 00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:52.480 be broader contact stuff like how well does it handle its themes, how well 609 00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:58.280 does it actually nail the cyberpunk the cores iyberpunk theme. But in terms of 610 00:40:58.320 --> 00:41:01.239 like the moment to moment of the gameplay possibilities, boy, I'm looking I'm 611 00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:06.199 look forward to what reading what everyone has to say. It's funny you say 612 00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:08.840 that, because that's something I did after the hands on previews. I read 613 00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:12.639 everybody's everyone that got a hands on thing, I when to watch your video, 614 00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:17.079 read everything because I was just curious and it seems that no one's had 615 00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:21.280 the same experience with this game out of all the hands on previews, even 616 00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:23.679 if they choose the same life path too exactly, so so that that was 617 00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:28.239 like example, Blessing, when when I saw what kind of funny did theirs? 618 00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:30.320 He did corpo, Oh, we did two completely different things. So 619 00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:34.519 I'm like, well, where the hell was that? That wasn't in mind? 620 00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:37.960 So yeah, it's I'm excited for it because I really feel like they're 621 00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:42.679 taking the lessons learned not only from the things they've done with the Witchard three, 622 00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:45.480 but they're looking at a mass effect. They're looking at Adis X, 623 00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:50.079 you know, Skyrim, et cetera. They're looking at how to actually have 624 00:41:50.320 --> 00:41:53.039 the story beats matter. And I know you wanted to move on to another 625 00:41:53.079 --> 00:41:57.320 part, so maybe this can segue into it. One thing that I liked 626 00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:00.320 about with the weapons that they were talking about, as far as when you're 627 00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:05.280 getting legendary weapons, they're not tying things to specific quests, like all right, 628 00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:08.119 I'm gonna go do Quest X because I know I'm gonna get this gun 629 00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:14.639 if I complete this quest. Instead, it's about your relationships with the characters. 630 00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:17.920 How you build a relationship with a certain character may lead you to getting 631 00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:22.199 a certain type of weapon, or if you piss off the wrong person, 632 00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:25.119 you may never get access to it at all during your playthrough. So it's 633 00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:30.400 more character based, it's more relationship based. So again, your dialogue choices 634 00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:32.559 are really going to matter as you progress through the game. So if anything 635 00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:37.519 that excites me the most, because that really tells me all of us are 636 00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:42.480 going to have these completely skewed experiences when we go through the game. Yeah, 637 00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:45.239 didn't they even say that, like there might even be some opportunities where 638 00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:50.239 a character you like has a really good weapon, like a legendary weapon, 639 00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:52.400 right, and it's like, well, I mean, you could kill them 640 00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:57.000 and take it, but then you could be killing consequence. Yeah, So 641 00:42:57.039 --> 00:43:00.199 I'm curious to see how that plays out, because just that right there, 642 00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:02.480 I think is a lot more of an interesting approach then, you know. 643 00:43:02.559 --> 00:43:07.000 I feel like when there's legendary weapons in most games, it's either you grind 644 00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:08.280 for it a lot, or, in the case of the Witcher three, 645 00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:15.400 you follow these this this sort of wild goose chase with these notes that take 646 00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:17.440 you from point to point and you craft them, which is cool and I 647 00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:22.719 like that, but I'm really curious to see how they tie these characters into 648 00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:28.159 these important weapons and whatever. Yeah. But then I guess we can just 649 00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:30.639 move right onto the weapons trailer that they showed off. We kind of already 650 00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:34.079 talked a little bit about it, but they just kind of went more in 651 00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:37.599 depth and the different kind of weapons you can get. I think one thing 652 00:43:37.639 --> 00:43:42.519 that we saw a bit more of which was nice, was the customization options 653 00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:46.039 you have Like when I played the demo, I did some. I did 654 00:43:46.039 --> 00:43:52.199 some of the what did they call them, like passive customization abilities where I 655 00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:54.760 like, yeah, we're like software upgrades, and I did that, but 656 00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:58.679 I didn't really like go to a store or anything and swap out scope. 657 00:43:58.679 --> 00:44:01.320 So I'm curious to see how all that's going to be. See that's funny 658 00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:06.519 again because I did go to a gun store when I played, and I 659 00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:09.639 actually purchased an SMNG and it did have two mod slots on it, but 660 00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:13.800 I was too low level to be able to do anything. But again, 661 00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:19.280 the CD CDPR rep that was with me was explaining how that will like I 662 00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:22.519 can keep that SMNG with me through the entire game because I can start to 663 00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:27.000 add mods to it, and obviously the proficiency the more I use it, 664 00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:30.480 the better I'm gonna get with it the RPG aspects of it. But that's 665 00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:35.239 the other the other balance that they're still I guess working on, but that's 666 00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:37.559 going to be in the final game is they want you to be able to 667 00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:42.199 use any weapon you want, but you may not necessarily be great at it, 668 00:44:42.199 --> 00:44:44.920 so you have to keep using it to get more proficient. But as 669 00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:46.599 you're leveling up, there's the RPG elements, so you're going to be finding 670 00:44:46.599 --> 00:44:51.400 all these different mods and things you're adding to it, which depending on the 671 00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:54.159 mod that you get, could completely change the way that the gun actually works 672 00:44:54.519 --> 00:44:58.880 in the game. There. So again there's there's just a spider web of 673 00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:01.679 possibilities that that's going to happen as we play. Yeah, I think for 674 00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:06.800 me, the main thing is like they're going to great. It seems like 675 00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:09.280 they're going the great lengths to kind of make these weapons a lot more intricate 676 00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:13.559 as you use them. But that's definitely not my play style. Like I 677 00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:15.239 just replayed the original dais X and I played it the same way. I 678 00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:17.920 always do low tech sneaking around. If I have to use weapon, it's 679 00:45:17.920 --> 00:45:22.440 going to be melee or like a silence pistol or some kind of like non 680 00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:25.960 lethal tranquilizer dart like low tech. I like to keep a low profile. 681 00:45:28.079 --> 00:45:30.400 So I think that's that's what I want to see next. When they talk 682 00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:36.320 about like combat encounters, is that, Yeah, it is like cool and 683 00:45:36.360 --> 00:45:40.400 as flashy as like the weapon stuff looks and sounds. I feel like a 684 00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:45.360 lot of the like a lot of them pre release materials have leaned into the 685 00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:49.719 action aspects, and I understand why, like that's probably the most exciting thing 686 00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:52.719 to show off. Like I don't think it would be exciting to show someone 687 00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:59.480 crawling slowly on the rooftops going through Avent hacking a keypad, like oh wait, 688 00:45:59.719 --> 00:46:01.320 huh oh wait, and I got a back up someone saw me, 689 00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:05.440 because that's how I play, and that is I don't think that's fun to 690 00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:07.800 watch it necessarily, So I get why we haven't seen much of that aspect, 691 00:46:08.119 --> 00:46:10.920 but that's totally something I want to see, is like how it's going 692 00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:15.280 to accommodate that type of play style when it comes to like Melee low tech 693 00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:21.039 keeping a low profile while going through combat counters because I understand, like there 694 00:46:21.039 --> 00:46:23.039 are some moments where you do have to fight, or that's what it seems 695 00:46:23.079 --> 00:46:30.119 like. But again, but the the E three demo though, did because 696 00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:31.519 that was a live demo that was a thirty minute I think it was like 697 00:46:31.559 --> 00:46:35.119 thirty minute demo where they like actually played the game in front of you. 698 00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:37.280 I think all y'all went to that as well. I know Paris and Jake, 699 00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:40.679 all y'all went to that at least, And I think that was a 700 00:46:40.760 --> 00:46:45.440 very good showcase because it's a live demo being played in front of you, 701 00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:49.840 so it has room to show off that style of play, and it wouldn't 702 00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:52.760 really play well on a live stream. But no, give it to me, 703 00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:54.400 I want to see it. Well, it's interesting you say that because 704 00:46:54.519 --> 00:46:59.800 the E three twenty nineteen demo they had, which they then chopped up and 705 00:46:59.840 --> 00:47:02.400 had like a small segment of it they released to the public, did actually 706 00:47:02.440 --> 00:47:07.360 highlight exactly what you're talking about PACIFICA because they played as a net runner and 707 00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:12.239 they did its stealth, so they were sneaking up on enemies and doing things 708 00:47:12.280 --> 00:47:15.400 from a distance, hacking certain you know, equipment and things, and never 709 00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:20.639 like directly engaging with people. But like you said, that's not going to 710 00:47:20.719 --> 00:47:23.360 play well in a night City wire, you know, twenty minute you know, 711 00:47:24.039 --> 00:47:29.039 you know, presentation episode, because people it's just it's it's not going 712 00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:31.199 to look realistic for the way that someone's going to actually play. You want 713 00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:35.000 to see the action stuff to get people excited. Now, one thing, 714 00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:38.400 because I'm a nerd, you're talking about weapons, I have notes in front 715 00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:44.639 of me because I'm not heard. They actually some of the other melee weapons 716 00:47:44.679 --> 00:47:47.440 that if you paid attention to the menu that they were talking about, there 717 00:47:47.559 --> 00:47:52.639 is an electric baton, there's a spike bat and then they also talked about 718 00:47:52.639 --> 00:47:58.960 that sledgehammer which was in the E three twenty nineteen demo with the animals as 719 00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:01.760 well. I mean, and also they were talking about the different weapon types 720 00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:07.119 you have, like your tech weapons, your power weapons, smart weapons again, 721 00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:09.920 the melee and put then the cyberware as well, because like they were 722 00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:14.079 showing off the Mantis blades. The one thing that I picked up from Night 723 00:48:14.119 --> 00:48:19.079 City Wire is the fact that those blades are replaceable, so you can't upgrade 724 00:48:19.119 --> 00:48:22.320 those blades as you go through the game, And they kind of talked about 725 00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:25.679 you'll start to delve into more of the military grade stuff that you have to 726 00:48:25.679 --> 00:48:30.480 find on the black market for those type of things with cyberware, so again, 727 00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:34.000 here's another way of stuff that you're going to be able to explore and 728 00:48:34.039 --> 00:48:37.480 do in the game from the weaponside. Yeah, one thing to talk about 729 00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:40.199 low tech. I spent a lot of my demo with just the lead pipe, 730 00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:45.800 like hitting people with a lead pipe, which is like I don't know, 731 00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:49.519 like definitely not how I'm going to play when the game comes out. 732 00:48:49.840 --> 00:48:52.159 But just like I don't know. I was playing with the guy, the 733 00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:54.559 guy from CDPR was there and he was helping me out, and I picked 734 00:48:54.559 --> 00:48:58.159 it up and I was like, well, I might as well just see 735 00:48:58.159 --> 00:49:02.519 what this is like to play through this. But I fly through BioShock with 736 00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:08.519 just electra bolt and a wrench. Yeah. Game, I mean that's kind 737 00:49:08.519 --> 00:49:13.440 of what I was doing because I was just hacking and hitting people with lead 738 00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:19.000 pipe if things got harry, That's my play style. But beyond the weapons, 739 00:49:19.079 --> 00:49:22.599 the last thing that they really showed off was the transformation from Reviews or 740 00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:29.000 the Samurai to Refuse. I got a backwards you know what I'm trying to 741 00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:32.239 say, how Refuse kind of became Samurai for this for this game, And 742 00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:36.920 I thought the presentation was kind of interesting. It was like kind of documentary 743 00:49:36.960 --> 00:49:38.480 style, but it kind of reminded me of like spinal Tap a little. 744 00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:42.320 It was like it kind of seemed like a joke in a weird way, 745 00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:45.599 but it was still pretty good. But I think the big takeaway for me 746 00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:51.039 was that they showed a shot where it looked like you were playing as Keanu 747 00:49:51.079 --> 00:49:55.320 Reeves. Now it's probably brain danced like Johnny Silverhand but just still the thought 748 00:49:55.320 --> 00:50:00.239 of that was really cool now and music playing mini game, Yeah it could 749 00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:04.639 be. But did you pick up on the one thing from from that that 750 00:50:04.679 --> 00:50:09.480 they showed the graphical upgrade that they've done to that Johnny Silverhan model since they 751 00:50:09.840 --> 00:50:13.360 since we first saw it, you know, like a year, year and 752 00:50:13.360 --> 00:50:15.800 a half ago. Every long that was. I mean there, they've clearly 753 00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:20.760 still been working on this game as far as just j Wolves, because it 754 00:50:20.760 --> 00:50:23.320 looks miles better now, like even you know when we played the preview at 755 00:50:23.360 --> 00:50:27.199 the very end where Johnny Silverhan's like fuck right, and it was like, 756 00:50:27.599 --> 00:50:30.400 wait, wow, that looks a lot better than I remember before. So 757 00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:35.199 that's something else to be excited about, because I mean this not that it's 758 00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:38.199 going to be the greatest graphical game ever, but they're definitely going for a 759 00:50:38.239 --> 00:50:42.239 high end approach with this, and on PC it's going to have retracing and 760 00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:46.000 everything too, So really looking forward to that. Have you guys listened to 761 00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:50.880 Samurai's music much at all, because a couple of the songs have been on 762 00:50:50.880 --> 00:50:53.920 Spotify for a while now. I mean, I'm a refused fan, but 763 00:50:54.320 --> 00:50:58.039 I haven't. I haven't checked out in Samurai yet. The Shape of Punk 764 00:50:58.079 --> 00:51:00.719 to Come is one of the best records of time, by the way, 765 00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:05.480 refused classic right there. But yeah, that's that's wild though, that they're 766 00:51:05.480 --> 00:51:07.840 transitioning to that. I'm definitely gonna check that out because they are they are 767 00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:13.760 like pretty well known in like punk circles and all that. So one crazy 768 00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:16.159 thing that we were talking about is one of the bands mentioned on there is 769 00:51:16.280 --> 00:51:22.400 Run the Jewels, So I'm super curious to see what they do because they 770 00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:25.320 wouldn't be Run the Jewels in this, but it would still be you know, 771 00:51:25.400 --> 00:51:31.159 Killer Mike and LP. So I started thinking about like like like I 772 00:51:31.480 --> 00:51:37.079 wonder if there would be like Quest Tide Quest Givers, like that would be 773 00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:42.119 so wild. But it is wild because like Killer Mike is about that life, 774 00:51:42.400 --> 00:51:45.320 Like he is radical when it comes to politics. So if they they 775 00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:47.280 pitched him on it and he's like, I'm all in, let's go. 776 00:51:47.920 --> 00:51:53.599 It's also all about money, so I respect what Killer Mike's grind and if 777 00:51:53.599 --> 00:51:57.679 that, if that is the case he's been. I think him and LP 778 00:51:57.800 --> 00:52:01.440 were both in Gears of War as like playable character models for horror mode or 779 00:52:01.440 --> 00:52:07.159 something, so this isn't like unknown Territory for them, So give us some 780 00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:14.440 RTJ quest Look ID buy that DLC. Yeah, yeah, hopefully it's just 781 00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:16.079 in the game, if it is in the game at all. But yeah, 782 00:52:16.119 --> 00:52:20.760 there's a there's a long list of artists who are going to be and 783 00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:23.920 I'm just I'm super curious to see I don't know a lot of these kind 784 00:52:23.920 --> 00:52:28.400 of well known artists portrayed different artists in this universe, because I feel like 785 00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:30.960 that's something that hasn't really been done before, at least in video games. 786 00:52:31.199 --> 00:52:37.079 Anyway, we've been talking about how awesome cyberpunk looks. The last I don't 787 00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:39.480 know, twenty thirty minutes is so we do have to move on to some 788 00:52:39.599 --> 00:52:45.840 sad news. Halo Infinite has been delayed. It is not going to be 789 00:52:45.960 --> 00:52:50.440 a Xbox Series X launch title. Looks like it'll be early twenty twenty one. 790 00:52:50.400 --> 00:52:53.719 You hate to see it. You could kind of see it coming, 791 00:52:53.880 --> 00:52:58.119 Yeah, I mean, I mean like it would be more It would be 792 00:52:58.239 --> 00:53:02.519 way more damaging for Halo if it launched and it wasn't in the place that 793 00:53:02.599 --> 00:53:06.440 it needed to be, or that three four three wanted it to be, 794 00:53:06.440 --> 00:53:12.199 because first Halo game on a brand new console. You wanted to come out 795 00:53:12.199 --> 00:53:19.119 with a bang. I mean Halo. I feel like there are a lot 796 00:53:19.159 --> 00:53:23.000 of people who just want to hate Halo New Halo. They'll like, you'll 797 00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:28.159 always have these people who are like, it's never been the same since Bungee 798 00:53:28.280 --> 00:53:31.239 left it, And also like, you've got to feel for three four three 799 00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:37.320 because they have to make a game that simultaneously appeals to the fan base who 800 00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:39.280 wanted to be the game they remember from when they were growing up, but 801 00:53:39.400 --> 00:53:44.760 who also wanted to be a new game in line with how modern shooters play, 802 00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:51.440 and balancing it like you want it to be old school Halo, but 803 00:53:51.559 --> 00:53:55.719 also take risks and do new things. But you can't please everyone, like 804 00:53:55.840 --> 00:53:59.360 and I feel for three four three I do, and like, it can't 805 00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:04.960 have been easy to delay it at the last minute, especially because like just 806 00:54:05.079 --> 00:54:07.039 two weeks ago they were showing off the game play for the first time and 807 00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:09.679 it was this is going to be a launch title on yeah, and so 808 00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:15.079 yeah, it sucks, but I think it's the best move in the long 809 00:54:15.159 --> 00:54:16.320 term. Yeah, you know, you know. It's what's weird is like 810 00:54:16.400 --> 00:54:22.079 I did I went to that that behind the scenes presentation for Halo Infinite shortly 811 00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:28.079 after it was revealed and like mad respect to them for trying something new with 812 00:54:28.119 --> 00:54:30.599 Halo, like it has to try something new. It's I can see it 813 00:54:30.639 --> 00:54:34.800 definitely trying to go for that. So I'm I am really excited to see 814 00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:37.840 what how the single player stuff works out, man, Like I want Halo 815 00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:40.440 to succeed. I remember when I love playing that shit, and like if 816 00:54:40.480 --> 00:54:45.159 it can usher itself into a new era in a big way, like anyone 817 00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:52.239 should be happy about that. But I did feel like they were very vague 818 00:54:52.280 --> 00:54:57.079 about everything we asked, uh And to me that came off as like we 819 00:54:57.079 --> 00:55:01.079 were still trying to figure out how to communicate this to the folks who want 820 00:55:01.079 --> 00:55:05.000 to know more about know more about the game. So it feels like they 821 00:55:05.000 --> 00:55:09.320 weren't necessarily ready to put this out in full force. Uh It's August and 822 00:55:09.400 --> 00:55:14.880 the consoles coming out in three ish months. Uh So to see them that 823 00:55:15.079 --> 00:55:20.360 reserved about it, uh at this stage, uh kind of told me a 824 00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:25.199 lot about where the game was or it is. Uh So for them to 825 00:55:25.199 --> 00:55:29.840 delay it's one not surprising too. I'm kind of glad, uh so whatever 826 00:55:30.280 --> 00:55:32.360 hesitancies they had about certain aspects of it, and like trying to figure out 827 00:55:32.360 --> 00:55:36.000 how to communicate that to people. If they can figure that stuff out a 828 00:55:36.239 --> 00:55:38.679 like, go ahead and do that like. And I also like the Xbox 829 00:55:38.679 --> 00:55:44.519 brand has had bad luck with first impressions, like games can evolve over time 830 00:55:45.239 --> 00:55:47.159 and become great things even if they launch in a bad state. I mean, 831 00:55:47.159 --> 00:55:51.280 look at it, look at fourteen, look at Destiny, see games 832 00:55:52.480 --> 00:55:55.519 incredible games now. But it's just that Xbox has had bad luck with launches 833 00:55:55.719 --> 00:56:00.920 going back to Xbox One. So I think that it's really important that they 834 00:56:00.920 --> 00:56:05.400 come out the gate strong with a brand like Halo. No. I completely 835 00:56:05.400 --> 00:56:07.719 agree with you, and I had one of those similar sessions as well, 836 00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:12.360 and like you said, it was very reserved where we almost had to pull 837 00:56:12.599 --> 00:56:15.199 the information out of them to find out more about the game, versus them 838 00:56:15.480 --> 00:56:21.360 being open and excited to tell us. And I've been saying for the longest, 839 00:56:21.679 --> 00:56:24.880 they cannot screw up Halo. They cannot screw this up because it is 840 00:56:24.920 --> 00:56:30.920 the flagship IP. There is no Xbox Series X right now if it wasn't 841 00:56:30.920 --> 00:56:34.480 for Halo Combat Evolved, because that's what started everything for them, right And 842 00:56:34.760 --> 00:56:37.320 Yeah, like you said earlier, we've seen the transition from Bungee to three 843 00:56:37.360 --> 00:56:40.880 four three and it's not been the greatest. So this was the redemption. 844 00:56:42.039 --> 00:56:45.639 This was Hey, we've taken almost five years to make this game, this 845 00:56:45.719 --> 00:56:49.840 was the coming out party. Everyone should be super excited about Halo. Instead 846 00:56:49.840 --> 00:56:52.400 we got Craig Mets. So that was a misstep. I mean, I 847 00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:55.119 think it was Gary Witta that said it, but I agree with them that 848 00:56:55.480 --> 00:57:00.159 they just shouldn't have shown it at all. They should have had foresight even 849 00:57:00.519 --> 00:57:05.239 at that game showcase revealed to say, hey, Halo's not ready yet. 850 00:57:05.280 --> 00:57:07.920 Blame it on COVID, whatever you need to do, but it's not ready 851 00:57:07.960 --> 00:57:12.239 yet. It needs more time because they've I don't want to say they've done 852 00:57:12.280 --> 00:57:15.599 permanent damage to it, but they've damaged. Like you said, you only 853 00:57:15.639 --> 00:57:19.599 get one chance out of first impression, and this first impression for Halo Infinite 854 00:57:19.719 --> 00:57:22.000 was not good. So I kind of at this point I didn't think they 855 00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:24.199 were gonna delay it. I really didn't, because I thought it was so 856 00:57:24.280 --> 00:57:29.800 important to launch a series X and to get people on Game Pass and things 857 00:57:29.840 --> 00:57:32.400 like that, that they were just gonna put it out hot and we'll figure 858 00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:36.000 it out along the way, right, because even ray tracing wasn't gonna be 859 00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:39.639 available right away. But I'm glad that the leadership at Xbox realized, let's 860 00:57:39.679 --> 00:57:43.960 not screw this up. Let's take our time, let's get this right. 861 00:57:44.440 --> 00:57:47.519 We'll go to Plan B as far as launching the series X and then the 862 00:57:47.559 --> 00:57:51.239 next time, because I think it's gonna be a while before we see Halo. 863 00:57:51.400 --> 00:57:54.800 But the next time we see Halo, it'll be what three four three 864 00:57:55.119 --> 00:57:59.280 envisioned it to be, so everyone can see it and be excited. I 865 00:57:59.280 --> 00:58:01.760 mean, I don't know what you guys think. I think this might be 866 00:58:01.760 --> 00:58:07.840 a holiday twenty twenty one title at this point. They might delay because because 867 00:58:07.840 --> 00:58:12.480 if it really needs time spring, I don't think spring's enough. And if 868 00:58:12.480 --> 00:58:16.559 Spring isn't enough, you're not gonna launch it during the summer. So September. 869 00:58:16.760 --> 00:58:20.840 Yeah, what's the other window to right? Right? Right? I 870 00:58:20.840 --> 00:58:25.639 mean, what's the killer app for? Yeah, for Xbox in the meantime, 871 00:58:25.679 --> 00:58:30.719 Like, I mean, it's what's a console seller? But that's not 872 00:58:30.760 --> 00:58:35.639 even coming out anytime soon? Yeah, I mean early next year. I 873 00:58:35.639 --> 00:58:40.960 mean definitely not Fable. It's Halo. I mean, that's that's just it. 874 00:58:40.960 --> 00:58:45.480 It's Halo. But if Halo isn't ready, don't force it because I'm 875 00:58:45.480 --> 00:58:50.519 telling you now, if they repeat what they did with Halo five, it 876 00:58:50.559 --> 00:58:52.960 will no longer be a relevant triple AIP. People will just look at it 877 00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:57.360 as an afterthought. They're going to move on to I don't know, Fortnite 878 00:58:57.400 --> 00:59:00.480 or Fall Guys or whatever. Right, they're gonna start playing up stuff and 879 00:59:00.519 --> 00:59:02.960 they're just gonna see Halo as a yeah, like I'm an old guy. 880 00:59:04.079 --> 00:59:07.280 So it's like when I remember I found pictures me at this at E three 881 00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:13.840 to one, and I'm I tell you, and I'm at the booth right 882 00:59:13.880 --> 00:59:15.320 and I'm like, my god, that was nineteen years ago. And then 883 00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:22.239 I see people responding going I wasn't even alive. Oh my god. But 884 00:59:22.039 --> 00:59:24.880 that's kind of the thing. People are almost seeing that, Oh that's my 885 00:59:24.960 --> 00:59:29.440 parents game. That's not my game. Like my son, he's fourteen, 886 00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:32.760 could care less about Halo, and I'm running around all excited, Oh they're 887 00:59:32.760 --> 00:59:37.199 gonna show Infinite and he's like, yeah, Halo. He doesn't It doesn't 888 00:59:37.239 --> 00:59:39.840 register with him. So they got to get this right. They have to 889 00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:44.920 get it right. So I honestly hope we don't see it until late next 890 00:59:44.960 --> 00:59:49.559 year. So take all the time you need. Fixedographical issues do the multiplayer, 891 00:59:49.639 --> 00:59:52.400 the flights, the public flights that they wanted to do to make sure 892 00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:54.960 you got the multiplayer right, and just make this the best Halo it can 893 00:59:55.000 --> 01:00:04.360 possibly be. All Right, and now we are onto listener questions. If 894 01:00:04.400 --> 01:00:07.599 you've got any questions for us, you can email us at after Dark Podcast 895 01:00:07.679 --> 01:00:10.119 at GameSpot dot com, or you can just join our discord and there's a 896 01:00:10.159 --> 01:00:14.920 whole channel for all your questions right there. But first question we have is 897 01:00:14.960 --> 01:00:17.480 from Chase MM eighteen on discord. Lucy, do you want to read this 898 01:00:17.519 --> 01:00:22.840 one? Sure? How do you guys feel about cinematic trailers that don't match 899 01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:25.400 the art style of the game itself? I e. Any of the eldest 900 01:00:25.440 --> 01:00:30.039 grolls online online trailers that show elves that look nothing like the elves you are 901 01:00:30.079 --> 01:00:35.079 able to make in the game and armor slash weapons that literally look like they 902 01:00:35.079 --> 01:00:37.480 are from another franchise? Is there a good reason behind this? Thanks for 903 01:00:37.519 --> 01:00:43.320 any insight you can provide, PS Tam and Lucy Sandman so good it is, 904 01:00:43.440 --> 01:00:49.679 It's phenomenal. I would say that there is a studio who I believe 905 01:00:49.679 --> 01:00:55.239 are in Scotland, Blur, who specifically make these trailers like any Ubisoft trailer. 906 01:00:55.280 --> 01:01:01.320 Any Assassin's Creed trailer is usually made by Blur Studios, and it's one 907 01:01:01.360 --> 01:01:06.360 of those things where you kind of realize that it's not really for us. 908 01:01:06.559 --> 01:01:10.719 It's not indicative of gameplay because it's four a way more mass market audience who 909 01:01:10.760 --> 01:01:14.840 will take one look at that and go WHOA games look like that now, 910 01:01:14.840 --> 01:01:20.079 And it's to peak their interest. It's to maybe show the game like the 911 01:01:20.280 --> 01:01:24.119 ideal version of the game. Like I don't mean any disrespect on Elder s 912 01:01:24.119 --> 01:01:30.000 Girls Online here, but it's not the most visually like the Elder Scrolls five, 913 01:01:30.159 --> 01:01:34.159 like those famous trailers that they did for Elder Schools five. Even for 914 01:01:34.400 --> 01:01:37.880 I remember Mass Effect three had a really good CGI trailer, but like if 915 01:01:38.079 --> 01:01:43.880 as soon as Ashley showed up, I was like, she doesn't look anything 916 01:01:44.000 --> 01:01:45.639 like that, Please, what are you doing? And it's like it's this 917 01:01:45.880 --> 01:01:51.880 idealized version of a game. It's it's kind of like what I said about 918 01:01:52.039 --> 01:01:55.519 let's go peek to you where it's like when I was a kid, that's 919 01:01:55.519 --> 01:01:59.760 how I saw Pokemon yellow. That's what it looked like to me. And 920 01:02:00.000 --> 01:02:04.280 sometimes when you play games, yeah, maybe it's a bit JANKI or maybe 921 01:02:04.280 --> 01:02:07.800 it doesn't look perfect, but in your head, if you're fully immersed in 922 01:02:07.880 --> 01:02:13.400 that world, it can. So that's that's my Also shout out to Bless 923 01:02:13.360 --> 01:02:15.760 Studios. They do mad work, but apparently they're incredibly expensive to use, 924 01:02:15.960 --> 01:02:22.800 So that's that's my idea. Damn, I don't know. I feel like 925 01:02:23.880 --> 01:02:28.840 if a trailer doesn't match what the game looks like at least or at least 926 01:02:28.880 --> 01:02:30.920 a parallel of what the game looks like, then it does absolutely nothing for 927 01:02:31.000 --> 01:02:35.679 me. But again, like we said, it's probably for a different audience, 928 01:02:35.719 --> 01:02:38.760 but I think it can make a bigger impact if it is like the 929 01:02:38.840 --> 01:02:43.480 same art style. But in CGI, of course, you know, I'm 930 01:02:43.960 --> 01:02:47.199 I'm dropping Final Fantasy fourteen again because the thing about it thinking about its cinematics 931 01:02:47.280 --> 01:02:51.840 is that, yeah, it's CGI trailer that looks like mad realistic, but 932 01:02:52.039 --> 01:02:55.199 all the character models look just like they do in the game, so it 933 01:02:55.480 --> 01:02:59.840 doesn't feel like there's a disconnect in a way, and they can communicate a 934 01:02:59.840 --> 01:03:04.519 lot lot about what happens in the game if like the cinematic trailer and what 935 01:03:04.559 --> 01:03:07.360 the game actually looks like is in line with each other. So I don't 936 01:03:07.360 --> 01:03:14.159 know. I don't put too much stock in like preview trailers, but a 937 01:03:14.199 --> 01:03:17.760 good trailer is also extremely memorable. Everyone remembers what is Dead Island, So 938 01:03:17.800 --> 01:03:21.760 I was gonna say, no, it's Dead Island one that I want. 939 01:03:22.760 --> 01:03:27.960 Even the key is trailer. Yeah, they can leave a lasting impact, 940 01:03:28.000 --> 01:03:30.000 even like way beyond the game. It's just like here's a story of like 941 01:03:30.119 --> 01:03:35.440 what a trailers was like back then. So you can make a big impact. 942 01:03:35.440 --> 01:03:38.599 But I mean, don't try. Don't try and try and pull a 943 01:03:38.639 --> 01:03:44.800 fast one on us with that. I think that's the main thing. Is 944 01:03:45.079 --> 01:03:47.159 the worry now is they're pulling a fast one on us? What a lot 945 01:03:47.239 --> 01:03:53.760 a lot of the cinematic trailers, because yeah, it's just not indicative of 946 01:03:53.800 --> 01:03:57.800 the final game. And I know this isn't the cinematic trailer, but the 947 01:03:57.840 --> 01:04:00.000 first thing that popped in my head when I read this was anthem. I 948 01:04:00.039 --> 01:04:03.440 mean, remember that original that original demo they showed. You're like, oh 949 01:04:03.440 --> 01:04:08.360 my god, this is going to be amazing. That is nowhere near what 950 01:04:08.400 --> 01:04:13.800 the final game was. So I'm a firm believer in I'd rather just see 951 01:04:14.239 --> 01:04:17.519 someone playing the game. Just show me the game. I just want to 952 01:04:17.519 --> 01:04:21.320 see. Okay, this is representative of what I can expect when I'm playing 953 01:04:21.360 --> 01:04:26.199 the game, but I know that's not the reality of how the industry works. 954 01:04:26.239 --> 01:04:29.719 I know there's always going to be these cinematic trailers, So I guess 955 01:04:30.320 --> 01:04:34.039 as long as it at least looks very similar to what I can expect, 956 01:04:34.159 --> 01:04:39.239 I guess I'm okay with it. But I'm always skeptical when I see those, 957 01:04:39.320 --> 01:04:42.360 Like one that sticks off the top of my head just from the Xbox 958 01:04:42.400 --> 01:04:47.000 Game showcase is Fable. That didn't excite me about Fable because I know that's 959 01:04:47.039 --> 01:04:50.360 not how Fable's going to look. That that might as well have been Shrek. 960 01:04:50.679 --> 01:04:57.599 It's no different. I'm serious when I told them, you're not wrong. 961 01:04:57.800 --> 01:05:00.760 You are wrong. No lies, Detective. Oh my god, I'm 962 01:05:00.800 --> 01:05:03.119 excited for Fable. And I was like, cool, we got a trailer, 963 01:05:03.159 --> 01:05:05.920 but there's something off about it. But now that you put it like 964 01:05:05.960 --> 01:05:11.000 that, I know exactly what was off about it. Figured it out for 965 01:05:11.119 --> 01:05:15.000 me. Wow, I think as well. Those it's you know, when 966 01:05:15.000 --> 01:05:17.000 a game isn't very far along in development, but you need a sort of 967 01:05:17.239 --> 01:05:20.800 tone piece, right, And that's what I feel like a lot of cinematic 968 01:05:20.840 --> 01:05:25.519 trailers are used well, especially that Fable comparison, where it's like it's lush, 969 01:05:25.639 --> 01:05:29.199 it's green, it has a bit of comedy, and Stephen Fry is 970 01:05:29.239 --> 01:05:32.639 there too, like that you know it's Fable, but you're not you're not 971 01:05:32.880 --> 01:05:36.840 getting what it is like in terms of what it will be like to play. 972 01:05:38.000 --> 01:05:40.639 So I think tone pieces. Yeah, yeah, And that's kind of 973 01:05:40.639 --> 01:05:43.079 what I was going to say too, is that like when a game is 974 01:05:43.119 --> 01:05:45.199 like Super far Out and we get a cinematic trailer, I usually don't mind, 975 01:05:45.440 --> 01:05:48.320 Like, like if it's an announcement trailer, I think that's one thing 976 01:05:48.320 --> 01:05:50.679 because it's like, Okay, they're working on this game. There's something I 977 01:05:50.679 --> 01:05:55.000 can look forward to in the future. When they like announce a game a 978 01:05:55.039 --> 01:05:58.480 couple months before it comes out, sorry Assassin's Creed, and they do it 979 01:05:58.480 --> 01:06:00.639 with a cinematic trailer, it's it's just kind of like, okay, Like 980 01:06:00.719 --> 01:06:04.480 I like, we all know Assassin's Creed, Like we get this, like, 981 01:06:04.559 --> 01:06:09.559 but we want to see what makes this different than all the other Assassin's 982 01:06:09.559 --> 01:06:13.199 Creed games, And especially since you know, like with the last trailer, 983 01:06:13.199 --> 01:06:15.400 they're yeah, we're gonna have gameplay in a couple of days, and it's 984 01:06:15.400 --> 01:06:18.199 like, well, why don't you just skip the skip this cinematic trailer thing 985 01:06:18.199 --> 01:06:20.920 and go right to the gameplay. I mean, you know, the trailer 986 01:06:20.960 --> 01:06:24.239 was cool than all, but yeah, kind of like what everyone's been saying. 987 01:06:24.239 --> 01:06:28.360 It's like, it's it's not really what I want to see, And 988 01:06:28.519 --> 01:06:30.360 I just say, you know how I said, Blur make a lot of 989 01:06:30.360 --> 01:06:31.159 these. They're not in Scotland. I don't know why I thought they were 990 01:06:31.159 --> 01:06:35.559 in Scotland. They made the Fable trailer, they made State of Decay, 991 01:06:35.679 --> 01:06:39.920 they made Skyrim, and they make All the Eldest Girls Online. They make 992 01:06:39.960 --> 01:06:48.239 the Ubisoft key Press Conferences club. Guh, they made money everything they're doing 993 01:06:48.400 --> 01:06:56.199 Valorant. They've done stuff for Warner Brothers. They've done Boots on the Ground. 994 01:06:56.199 --> 01:07:00.000 They've done Call of Duty. They've done that terminated trailer that Termine, 995 01:07:00.159 --> 01:07:04.840 a game that came out last year, Titanfull two. They've done so really, 996 01:07:04.920 --> 01:07:09.599 the real answer to this is take it up with Blur. Take it 997 01:07:09.639 --> 01:07:15.119 up with Blur. A problem, yeah, quick. Last question here is 998 01:07:15.159 --> 01:07:19.480 from Edwin. Do you guys have any games you feel are essentially required material 999 01:07:19.559 --> 01:07:23.639 but that you just haven't been able to complete yourselves. Mine is the Witcher 1000 01:07:23.679 --> 01:07:26.800 series. Playing through the whole series has been one of my main goals for 1001 01:07:26.920 --> 01:07:30.079 years, but I am struggling mightily to get through the Witcher one. It 1002 01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:33.159 has not aged well. I've restarted at least five times over the past ten 1003 01:07:33.239 --> 01:07:36.559 years, but I just can't make it past the third act. My OCD 1004 01:07:36.719 --> 01:07:41.079 brain won't let me play two and three before finishing one. How do you 1005 01:07:41.079 --> 01:07:45.920 handle situations like these? Oh? Man, that's I don't know. Does 1006 01:07:45.920 --> 01:07:48.039 anyone want to go? I kind of got to sit on this one for 1007 01:07:48.079 --> 01:07:55.360 a minute. I can tell you my game. I I don't know why 1008 01:07:55.440 --> 01:08:00.480 my lizard brain will not allow me to finish the original Red Dead. Redemption 1009 01:08:00.000 --> 01:08:03.079 just can't. I just can't. I've never been able to get through it. 1010 01:08:03.159 --> 01:08:06.840 But the irony is oh to no problem, but the first one I 1011 01:08:06.880 --> 01:08:12.559 could to this day. I even got the Xbox three sixty disc off of 1012 01:08:12.639 --> 01:08:14.840 eBay for like five bucks. I'm like, oh, I'm gonna I'm going 1013 01:08:14.880 --> 01:08:16.359 to go back and play it. After an hour, I'm like, I 1014 01:08:16.600 --> 01:08:20.000 can't do this, and I just I don't play it and everyone says it's 1015 01:08:20.039 --> 01:08:24.479 amazing and I can't play it for some reason. I mean, at this 1016 01:08:24.600 --> 01:08:29.439 point, just go on YouTube and watch like right now, watch watch a 1017 01:08:29.439 --> 01:08:34.520 commentary free. Well, I think for me, I guess it's a little 1018 01:08:34.520 --> 01:08:39.319 bit of a different direction, but I think it boils down the time for 1019 01:08:39.359 --> 01:08:42.920 me, Like because the the games that I want to play are all like 1020 01:08:43.640 --> 01:08:46.840 fifty to one hundred hour RPGs, and I want to play all of them. 1021 01:08:47.000 --> 01:08:51.159 I am like, I'm so hungry to replay all of Final Fantasy. 1022 01:08:51.359 --> 01:08:55.720 Be Like, Okay, I'm older now, I can understand the context to 1023 01:08:55.800 --> 01:08:59.359 these games a lot better because they are heavy stories, not just like some 1024 01:08:59.560 --> 01:09:03.359 all fantastical willy nilly bullshit. There's actually some deep storytelling in those games, 1025 01:09:03.399 --> 01:09:06.199 and I want to replay all them, but it's a time investment. I'm 1026 01:09:06.199 --> 01:09:10.119 trying to play through all like the Trails in the Sky and Trails of Cold 1027 01:09:10.119 --> 01:09:13.600 Steel games, and I absolutely love them so much and I want to do 1028 01:09:13.640 --> 01:09:18.560 it. It is required material for myself to live with myself, but I 1029 01:09:18.600 --> 01:09:23.279 need time. So this really boils down to just having time, and like, 1030 01:09:23.319 --> 01:09:27.439 how do I deal with it? Well, Actually, for me, 1031 01:09:27.640 --> 01:09:30.680 this whole thing is what kind of keeps me excited about playing games, Like 1032 01:09:31.159 --> 01:09:35.079 I feel like there's always something waiting for me. There's always a game to 1033 01:09:35.079 --> 01:09:39.800 play, There's always something to look forward to. So I'm like consistently excited 1034 01:09:39.800 --> 01:09:43.359 about having time to play games. I'm never like sitting down, like, 1035 01:09:43.760 --> 01:09:45.920 damn video games, what do I play? I don't know what to play? 1036 01:09:45.960 --> 01:09:49.159 Like, I always have something I want. I'm very eager to jump 1037 01:09:49.159 --> 01:09:54.199 into. It's just a matter of time, so I think as well though, 1038 01:09:54.399 --> 01:10:01.439 speaking of time, it's the being essentially locked indoors much has definitely made 1039 01:10:01.520 --> 01:10:06.199 me think about the way that, like pre COVID life, I guess where 1040 01:10:06.199 --> 01:10:10.680 it's like, did I miss an opportunity because I did this? Did I 1041 01:10:10.760 --> 01:10:13.880 waste time doing this? And I feel like now just to have all this 1042 01:10:13.920 --> 01:10:16.039 time to relect on it. And so if you're playing a game and you 1043 01:10:16.079 --> 01:10:20.279 don't enjoy it, don't spend more time on it just because you feel like 1044 01:10:20.319 --> 01:10:25.560 you have to, because there are other games that you could play that you 1045 01:10:25.640 --> 01:10:28.319 might enjoy way more and you want to spend that time with it, and 1046 01:10:28.319 --> 01:10:30.680 as well, like you're not going to enjoy it, so you're essentially putting 1047 01:10:30.680 --> 01:10:35.960 yourself through this agonizing thing just because you've put that pressure on yourself. If 1048 01:10:36.000 --> 01:10:39.760 you feel like you really need to play the Witches series and you can't get 1049 01:10:39.800 --> 01:10:42.199 into it. Like I said, like they do a thing on YouTube. 1050 01:10:42.199 --> 01:10:45.600 There's an entire subreddit called video game Movies where they just take all the cut 1051 01:10:45.640 --> 01:10:48.720 scenes together, but they put all the like important conversation pieces through and there 1052 01:10:48.800 --> 01:10:51.720 will one hundred percent be a Witcher version of that. And then maybe you 1053 01:10:51.720 --> 01:10:56.079 can try Assassin of Kings and you maybe you'll enjoy that way more like, 1054 01:10:56.880 --> 01:11:00.600 don't feel like you have to play a game just for the sake of playing 1055 01:11:00.640 --> 01:11:04.039 it if you don't enjoy it. Yeah. I do get the sentiment though, 1056 01:11:04.079 --> 01:11:06.800 where it's like I really want to play, you know, for example, 1057 01:11:06.880 --> 01:11:10.560 the Witch I three, but I don't want to play or I don't 1058 01:11:10.560 --> 01:11:13.880 want to play it without having played one and two beforehand, which is something 1059 01:11:13.920 --> 01:11:16.720 I think I probably used to struggle with a lot. But Yeah, in 1060 01:11:16.760 --> 01:11:21.199 recent times, it's just come down to time and like it's really just a 1061 01:11:21.199 --> 01:11:25.840 matter of like do I actually want to sit through and play these Like for 1062 01:11:25.920 --> 01:11:30.159 example, I was going to stream through all the Residueval games because I'd only 1063 01:11:30.199 --> 01:11:33.039 played like four and six or four and five and seven, and I was 1064 01:11:33.039 --> 01:11:35.600 gonna play through all of them. And I played through most of one. 1065 01:11:35.640 --> 01:11:40.000 By the time I finished one, I was like, Nah, like, 1066 01:11:40.079 --> 01:11:42.319 I don't really want to I don't really want to go through with this. 1067 01:11:42.359 --> 01:11:44.920 As much as I enjoyed one, and as much as I've enjoyed the other 1068 01:11:44.960 --> 01:11:47.399 ones, like it just it just doesn't seem like a good use of my 1069 01:11:47.479 --> 01:11:51.920 time. So yeah, I don't know that that's a tricky question, but 1070 01:11:53.119 --> 01:11:57.239 I'd say that the game for me that that's happened to is Final Fantasy seven. 1071 01:11:57.279 --> 01:12:00.039 It's a game that I definitely feel like I know to play, especially 1072 01:12:00.079 --> 01:12:03.880 since I did enjoy the remake and I want to see the differences, especially 1073 01:12:03.960 --> 01:12:08.680 since there's what two more Final Fantasy seven remakes maybe three more Final Fantasy seven 1074 01:12:08.680 --> 01:12:12.920 remakes on the way. I definitely want to see where all of that came 1075 01:12:12.960 --> 01:12:15.800 from. But like, I don't know. I played the first couple hours 1076 01:12:15.800 --> 01:12:17.479 of seven, and I was like, yeah, I don't know if I'm 1077 01:12:17.479 --> 01:12:20.680 gonna able to make it through this whole game. Damn, I hate to 1078 01:12:20.680 --> 01:12:27.640 see it my Inspreath of the Wild. I wasn't gonna say that because I 1079 01:12:27.760 --> 01:12:32.399 was worried about the feedback. You're in a safe space, in space like 1080 01:12:32.479 --> 01:12:38.039 I can appreciate how good it is, and I really enjoy playing it. 1081 01:12:38.520 --> 01:12:43.159 For me. If I don't have a path like it's awful, if I 1082 01:12:43.159 --> 01:12:45.640 don't have that dotted line to follow, I will just get distracted and I 1083 01:12:45.680 --> 01:12:51.800 won't I won't do it like I just get distracted, and that's It's It's 1084 01:12:51.840 --> 01:12:56.840 weird that there's been this real big conversation about people with ADHD recently, and 1085 01:12:56.880 --> 01:12:59.680 I just feel like maybe it's me as an anxious person. I don't think 1086 01:12:59.720 --> 01:13:03.279 I have ADHD, but like I noticed that, I just my attention just 1087 01:13:03.319 --> 01:13:09.680 goes and I it's terrible, and like Breath of the Wild is a game 1088 01:13:09.720 --> 01:13:14.760 that I absolutely keep meaning to get back to because I respect it alone, 1089 01:13:14.800 --> 01:13:16.439 I know how much other people love it. Michael, you're pulling a face. 1090 01:13:16.640 --> 01:13:20.680 I'm so sorry. I don't have that much attachment to it. But 1091 01:13:20.880 --> 01:13:24.720 I'm just thinking back to twenty seventeen when we had our Game of the Year 1092 01:13:24.760 --> 01:13:30.960 discussions and just like how everyone absolutely loved it. It was unanimously like voted 1093 01:13:30.039 --> 01:13:33.840 as our game of the year. No conversations would touch that game. Even 1094 01:13:34.039 --> 01:13:38.600 my ass who was just like Persona five is the greatest game of all time. 1095 01:13:38.880 --> 01:13:41.680 Hey, look we got Persona into two, don't worry about it. 1096 01:13:41.760 --> 01:13:44.680 Yeah, yeah, so I was out of the way. So yeah, 1097 01:13:44.720 --> 01:13:47.079 and that's how happy I was. I was like, okay, two's great. 1098 01:13:47.119 --> 01:13:49.880 No one's touching Breath of the Wild. There's like mad respect about it. 1099 01:13:49.920 --> 01:13:55.119 So like I haven't or I played the game. I've finished it. 1100 01:13:55.119 --> 01:13:58.720 But like when I hear people who haven't played it or haven't completed it, 1101 01:13:58.800 --> 01:14:05.199 I'm just like someone's gonna considering. So my boyfriend is such a huge Breath 1102 01:14:05.239 --> 01:14:12.159 of the Wild fan. He has Zelda tattoos, he has the whole This 1103 01:14:12.239 --> 01:14:16.920 dude has video game tattoos. What a loser. Kind of sad that we're 1104 01:14:16.960 --> 01:14:24.399 not We're not a video anymore. But that was a great goog though. 1105 01:14:24.720 --> 01:14:27.640 No, but like it's this thing that I think I want to do with 1106 01:14:27.840 --> 01:14:30.920 him, or at least have my switch and go. Look, I'm doing 1107 01:14:30.960 --> 01:14:33.600 it just because I know he loves it so much. We all we all 1108 01:14:33.640 --> 01:14:36.960 got our gaming like gaps, and it's fine, it's okay, it's okay 1109 01:14:38.000 --> 01:14:41.880 if you haven't played the most popular game. Uh, it's it's all right. 1110 01:14:42.680 --> 01:14:45.920 I don't have to play everything. Well, anyway, I think that's 1111 01:14:45.000 --> 01:14:48.479 as good a place as I need to end episode fifty four Game Spot after 1112 01:14:48.600 --> 01:14:51.800 Dark.

Coll 1129 01:15:59.560 --> 01:16:04.640 Generation Next all about PS four, PS five and Xbox Series X se you 1130 01:16:04.760 --> 01:16:08.560 messed up on the one that you shouldn't have messed up on, Like the 1131 01:16:08.640 --> 01:16:11.840 Series X is the one that I feel like everyone messes up on. We 1132 01:16:11.920 --> 01:16:15.560 recorded today and we were literally just joking about how difficult it's going to be, 1133 01:16:15.720 --> 01:16:21.960 especially because the the Xbox Series S seems to have leaked through that controller 1134 01:16:23.840 --> 01:16:26.439 packaging, and so people are like, Oh, wouldn't it be funny if 1135 01:16:26.439 --> 01:16:28.680 we messed it up? And then Tam immediately messed it up, and I've 1136 01:16:28.720 --> 01:16:32.520 just messed up PS four PS five. So great start, but it's very 1137 01:16:32.520 --> 01:16:36.159 fun. It's me, Tam and Jordan. We're talking about like the big 1138 01:16:36.199 --> 01:16:40.840 news of the week as well as getting into some fun features. This week, 1139 01:16:40.880 --> 01:16:44.279 we're talking about games from this current gen that you know, you've got 1140 01:16:44.319 --> 01:16:48.000 a few weeks of like quiet time. You need to hit these games before 1141 01:16:48.079 --> 01:16:53.279 next Gen, So please watch, come leave us comments, come chat with 1142 01:16:53.359 --> 01:16:57.079 us about it on the discord. It's YouTube dot Com, slash Game Spot 1143 01:16:58.279 --> 01:17:02.239 and Michael h A couple of things to plug I think this week, as 1144 01:17:02.279 --> 01:17:08.000 I talked about Final Fantasy fourteen is huge. By the time this goes up, 1145 01:17:08.000 --> 01:17:11.600 I have a lot of coverage on it, a lot of spoiler stuff 1146 01:17:11.680 --> 01:17:14.880 if you want to check that out for the very few who actually have made 1147 01:17:14.920 --> 01:17:16.840 it to the end of that, but also like some beginner stuff. I'm 1148 01:17:16.840 --> 01:17:19.479 going to collab Jean Luke on a video version of some of those things. 1149 01:17:19.800 --> 01:17:25.439 But yeah, it's that. Also, by the time the weekend wells around, 1150 01:17:25.800 --> 01:17:29.399 I'll have a big feature on She Dreams Elsewhere, gained by my good 1151 01:17:29.439 --> 01:17:34.439 friend Davion Gooden. I'm very excited for that game. He is He's a 1152 01:17:34.479 --> 01:17:40.520 great dude. Had a wonderful interview with him. We talked about some real 1153 01:17:40.560 --> 01:17:44.359 shit in that interview, so it's gonna be very fascinating. I want people 1154 01:17:44.399 --> 01:17:46.760 to read that really get some insight on what it's like to be a solo 1155 01:17:46.800 --> 01:17:51.239 dev, what it's like to put your own voice in it, especially as 1156 01:17:51.279 --> 01:17:57.680 a BPOC. So that's going to be a very fascinating thing to put together 1157 01:17:58.000 --> 01:18:00.760 and finally put out there. Also, I want to give shout out to 1158 01:18:00.840 --> 01:18:03.600 GTR Game Attag Radio. You know it's funny. We talked about it before 1159 01:18:03.680 --> 01:18:09.479 we started recording, but I've only been on it recently, but I've been 1160 01:18:09.479 --> 01:18:15.279 following Parish and Danny, Penya and Pete Toledo and y'all have a very good 1161 01:18:15.359 --> 01:18:17.199 dynamic that I think a lot of people should should at least, you know, 1162 01:18:17.359 --> 01:18:21.199 check out, especially you, Paris. You'd be beefing with Danny all 1163 01:18:21.239 --> 01:18:25.439 the time. It is the funniest shit, though, because I missed my 1164 01:18:25.479 --> 01:18:29.600 homies back home so much, and y'all dynamic reminds me exactly of that. 1165 01:18:29.880 --> 01:18:33.039 Even you and Ka going back and forth about Ribs the funniest shit to me. 1166 01:18:33.399 --> 01:18:36.880 It's the funniest shit to me. Oh yeah, I love them both 1167 01:18:36.920 --> 01:18:42.640 and Danny. Danny is the reason I'm even into gaming at all because gamer 1168 01:18:42.720 --> 01:18:45.319 tag Radio Back in two thousand and five when he started it, I used 1169 01:18:45.359 --> 01:18:49.079 to listen to it and we became friends. God, we've been been friends 1170 01:18:49.119 --> 01:18:53.640 for fourteen years, so it's really like a brotherhood thing at this point. 1171 01:18:53.720 --> 01:18:58.520 Even even with Kad and the whole Ribs you were on Twitter, oh man, 1172 01:18:58.520 --> 01:19:00.640 But yeah, shouts out to y'all. Y'all doing really good work and 1173 01:19:00.720 --> 01:19:04.600 I just enjoy all the bullshit that you'll post on the timeline. Thank you 1174 01:19:04.680 --> 01:19:12.319 appreciate that. Yeah, Oh you can find me at Jacob dec I don't. 1175 01:19:12.720 --> 01:19:19.840 I don't tweet too much anymore because I'm tired of Twitter discourse. But 1176 01:19:20.640 --> 01:19:26.279 we do have On hopefully Saturday, we're gonna have a cyberpunk Lore video all 1177 01:19:26.319 --> 01:19:30.039 about Arisaka. We already have two up right now, one about the early 1178 01:19:30.119 --> 01:19:33.479 history of night City and one about Johnny Silverhand. The third one will be 1179 01:19:33.600 --> 01:19:38.239 Arisaka. Lucy just recorded view for that today so makes it up in time. 1180 01:19:38.560 --> 01:19:42.680 And then we also have a video breaking down game spots experience of the 1181 01:19:42.680 --> 01:19:45.239 three different life paths. So if you're curious you're still trying to forgere ou 1182 01:19:45.239 --> 01:19:47.720 which life path you want to pick when the game comes out, take a 1183 01:19:47.760 --> 01:19:50.640 look at that video might help you out. But anyway, we'll see y'all 1184 01:19:50.640 --> 01:20:08.039 next week soon to return to
