WEBVTT 1 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:08.000 You're listening to episode seventy four of GameSpot After Dark 2 00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:10.759 aka the After Dark Awards Special. 3 00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:11.640 Let's get going. 4 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:34.640 Hello and welcome to episode seventy four of Game Spot 5 00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:39.079 After Dark, the first episode of twenty twenty one. Hopefully 6 00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.119 it's a better year this year, but we'll we'll find out, 7 00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:46.039 I guess, but we're right. It's actually not twenty twenty 8 00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:49.119 one yet for us. We're recording this on December twenty first. 9 00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:51.759 We're trying to close off, tie up all those loose 10 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.960 ends we can before we go on break. But anyway, 11 00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:59.359 joining me this week is Cali Plagy. Hello, shenleigshypeke Hi, 12 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:00.880 and Ben Jenka. 13 00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:03.920 Howdy, Ben, you have a magnificent beard. 14 00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:08.400 It's looking it's gone out of control. I've been doing 15 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.920 a wild test to just not shave it the whole 16 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.519 time we've been locked away. I'm tired of it. But 17 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.879 it's here and I'm living with it, I guess, But yeah, 18 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:21.040 thank you. I appreciate it. 19 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.159 This is the first time I've seen your face in 20 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:24.079 a really long time. 21 00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.040 It has been a while. I'm happy to see all 22 00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.280 of you guys. It's been a bit, it's been a while, 23 00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:32.599 but we're we're here. 24 00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:37.040 Well, if we didn't have a very specific goal, I 25 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.959 guess for today's episode, I would definitely title this episode 26 00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:45.200 Ben's Beard. Unfortunately, we have the Game Spot after Dark 27 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.799 Awards to get through. How this works, I honestly couldn't 28 00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:50.959 tell you. We kind of came up with this last minute. 29 00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.480 But the idea is is that we've picked a bunch 30 00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.439 of categories with the help of our Discord community, and 31 00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:00.879 we were going to go through these and give out 32 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.400 Game Spot after Dark Awards. Now, a couple things to remember, 33 00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.199 this is completely unofficial. We've already done our Game of 34 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:10.479 the Year awards. Half Flight Folex are Game of the Year, 35 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.159 we have our Top Tens, We've done our Best Movies 36 00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.319 and TV Shows and Entertainment awards as well on the 37 00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:16.039 universe side. 38 00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:17.400 This is just for fun. 39 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.319 The other thing to remember is that we're not gonna 40 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:24.080 sit here and deliberate what game wins each segment a lot. 41 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:26.319 We're just this is more just so we can highlight 42 00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.960 a lot of these games that may not fit your 43 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.879 traditional Game of the Year categories or awards necessarily. I mean, 44 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:35.479 it's kind of weird because Game Spot we don't even 45 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.039 really do categories, we just do best games on each 46 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.840 platform rather than like best voice acting and stuff like that. 47 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.000 So this will allow us to get into a little 48 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.680 more nitty gritty, I guess you could say. And then 49 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.800 the last thing is that there's a lot of categories, 50 00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:51.879 so we might have to burn through some of these. 51 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.199 A bit quickly. It's understandable. 52 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.400 But anyway, what do you think should we get started? 53 00:02:57.919 --> 00:02:58.840 Let's do it? 54 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.120 Yeah, yeah, yeah, Callie, do you still want to be 55 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.120 our announcer, lady, Yes, I would love to. 56 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:06.400 All right, well, then take it away. 57 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:11.240 For the award for Best Character Creator, the nominees are 58 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:17.960 Demon Souls, Cyberpunk twenty seventy seven, Saints Roe, the Third 59 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:22.080 Remastered Immortals. I didn't play this one. 60 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:23.879 Complete that and. 61 00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:34.680 Black Ops question Mark, Yeah, we're gonna scrap Immortals because 62 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.240 I don't think we played that one. 63 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:40.479 I played Immortals. It's pretty basic that character creator. There's 64 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:45.280 not much to it. There's nah, all right scrapped. 65 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:46.439 I will say. 66 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.159 I put Cyberpunk twenty seventy seven on here. Cally said 67 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.599 she wasn't super impressed with it, and I don't think 68 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.199 it should be the best Character Creator. But I did 69 00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:58.360 appreciate the fact that I finished Cyberpunk's Character Creator in 70 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.479 like fifteen minutes. If that, I figured I'd be in 71 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.599 there for two hours, and it just got me right 72 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.439 into the game. So I thought that was kind of nice. 73 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.000 And it wasn't like it didn't go super in depth, 74 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.360 like how wide do you want the bridge of your 75 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.400 nose to be and that kind of stuff. I just 76 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:14.680 like slide a bunch and I'm like, okay, yeah, that's 77 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:15.319 good and move on. 78 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.560 That's why I respect it. An hour in it, I think, 79 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:22.319 oh damn, go through it. Well. Like Georgia, my girlfriend's 80 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:24.720 like loves character creators, so it's like every time there's 81 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.240 a character creator, she's like, hand me the controller. We're 82 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:29.040 doing this, And so it was like an hour of 83 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.040 like comparing noses. We took notes like, okay, we like 84 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:35.879 nose seventeen and six, and now let's compare them with 85 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.199 mouths seven and two. 86 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:40.439 Oh my argument falls flat then. 87 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:46.040 But I also don't like Cyberpunk's Character Well and not 88 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:47.839 I don't like it. I found it disappointing. I put 89 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.279 Saints Throw the three Remastered in here because that game 90 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.279 is ten years old and it still has a better 91 00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:56.120 Character Creator than cyberpunkt a good character It is amazing 92 00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.480 because that game lets you pick your body size, you 93 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.759 can you can like it. It has a level of 94 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:09.160 body customization I think Cyberpunk lacks. Also, Cyberpunk's colors are terrible. 95 00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:10.240 There's like the. 96 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.879 Hair is good though, the hair is good. 97 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.319 But then they have color options. They're all gradients. There's 98 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.800 no like solid black. Like the black in that game 99 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.680 is like a black green. There's no pure black. It's 100 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.120 like infuriating. Like I know they're going to add more 101 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.319 to that game, add more color combos. 102 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:28.000 I think they got a long list of things to 103 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:28.519 do first. 104 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.920 I did, like I wanted to talk about Cyberpunk because 105 00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:34.839 I think there's definitely things to shout out about the 106 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:39.439 character creator. Ash Parish at Kotaku did a review of 107 00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:45.639 the Character Creator where she highlighted the hairstyle options, so 108 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.839 I think the actual hairstyles themselves. Ash called it like 109 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:52.279 the best corn rows in any game. So there's like 110 00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.639 definitely some bright spots to that character creator. I think, yeah, 111 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.800 the body stuff. I understand why there's only one body 112 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:01.319 type because I think there's a lot of moving parts 113 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:05.399 in Cyberpunk. But that's a little disappointing. I think, like 114 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:10.360 the flexibility with how you create your characters disappointing, And 115 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:15.839 I I do think like there's some issues with gender 116 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.439 and gender non conforming and being gender not performing because 117 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:23.040 I mean for multiple reasons. But I also think like 118 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:27.120 Cyberpunk twenty seventy seven has gender locked options. Not even 119 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:31.439 Animal Crossing does that. So I just wanted to say that, 120 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.079 but I left Black Ops on here. John neu Grote 121 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:39.240 be non binary for Ronald Reagan, which is funny, but 122 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.759 I also think, like shout out to Black Ops for 123 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.600 letting you be non binary. The only the extent of 124 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.279 that is that characters will call you by the correct pronouns. 125 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.680 Ronald Reagan actually doesn't refer to your character at all, 126 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:54.839 I think, so he doesn't Ronald Reagan doesn't respect the 127 00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:55.720 queers anyway. 128 00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.519 So it's one of those things where it's like it's 129 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.920 compared to other game maybe like there's not actually much 130 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.160 to it, but it's like for a Call of Duty game, 131 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:05.720 it's pretty interesting, but it. 132 00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:08.639 Is interesting because did you pick in that character creator 133 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.959 You can pick like, like, first of all, I think 134 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:13.920 it's really cool just for a first person game that 135 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:16.319 like you can pick your skin tone because you'll see 136 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.279 your hands, which I think is just like not super 137 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:22.639 like maybe quote unquote important, but I think it is 138 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:26.720 a nice gesture. And then I think it's really cool. 139 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.199 You can pick like characteristics for your character at the 140 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:33.480 beginning of that game that affect like how you play. 141 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:37.240 So you get to pick two characteristics like professional or 142 00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:39.920 like I forget the names of them, but it's like 143 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:41.040 unhinged or whatever. 144 00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:43.519 They're basically like Little Survivors. 145 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.360 Yeah, just like Little Perks where it's like, oh, I 146 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.120 I my bullets have FMJ basically, or like I picked 147 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:51.959 the one I always go with Gung Ho and Call 148 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:53.439 of Duty. So I was like, yeah, I want to 149 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:55.839 be able to reload all I'm running because I don't 150 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:58.720 know how to not do that. So shout out to 151 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:00.800 Black Ops for those options. 152 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:03.000 No, I agree. 153 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:04.639 I like that stuff for me, though. 154 00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:07.160 The true winner here is Demon Souls because you can 155 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:09.920 make that Kanye West faith build and it looks really good. 156 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:10.879 Man. 157 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:17.240 Yeah, that game's character creator is real good yep. 158 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.199 Or or you can make PP men as as Griffin 159 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.639 and a Ppe person as Griffin, and Justin did in 160 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:27.920 Monster Factory, which. 161 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:28.319 Was pretty good. 162 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:29.839 That's a very good atmos factory. 163 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:32.799 Then how about you wish one of these stands out? 164 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.200 So I think I've actually been like directly quoted at 165 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:38.360 some point saying, man, I can't believe a Soul's game 166 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:42.080 came up with a better character creator than a Giant rpguh. Yeah, 167 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:46.799 because Demon Souls definitely outdoes Cyberpunk for me. But I'm 168 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:48.639 I'm always gonna go to Saints Troke because I can 169 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:51.799 make literally whatever I want in it and it's really neat, 170 00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.799 and beyond that, you've got all the different closed customization 171 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:57.679 options too that you can see down the road unlockables. 172 00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:00.759 Even I just like making character in Saints Rowe a 173 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.879 lot too. Yeah, so that's where I am. I think. 174 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:08.039 Also, Saints Row does actually acknowledge if your character is trends. 175 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:09.960 Oh, there you go. 176 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.200 It's it's not as maybe overt as you'd want it 177 00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.679 to be, but the game because not to get to 178 00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:16.519 it ended, but in the original game you could only 179 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:19.320 play a guy. There was no female option, and then 180 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:21.840 they added a female option in two. But they canomically 181 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:25.240 make it like, oh, your character had a sex change, 182 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:29.320 like in surgery. So like they they actually the most 183 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:30.200 woke game. 184 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.480 Of well, I wonder, Yeah, I haven't played it myself. 185 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:36.679 I'd be curious to hear people's thoughts on how that works. 186 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:40.240 But yeah, at least like Cyberpunk doesn't acknowledge any of 187 00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:42.879 those things, which feels a little weird for sure. 188 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:46.480 So Demon Souls or Saints Row the third. 189 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:49.799 I put it in Saints Row, but it's like it 190 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:51.399 should be Demon Souls, like. 191 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:52.080 I can give it to. 192 00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:58.840 Like Saints Row. It's like I like the amount of options, 193 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.519 but like, visually that game hasn't aged the best like 194 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:04.960 de minesels look so good as far as like a 195 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:08.919 next gen character creator, It's like, wow, you can make 196 00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:13.399 some really amazing or horrifying characters in this game. 197 00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.039 All right. Next one we have is Best Music. 198 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.240 This one's a little weird because it's not really best 199 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.759 original soundtrack or best licensed music. It's just like I 200 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:25.039 put best music in there, and I just let people 201 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:28.399 throw in whatever that they liked from this year, or 202 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:35.080 just entire full length soundtracks as so, our nominees are CALLI. 203 00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:40.200 The nominees for best Music are Final Fantasy seven remake 204 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:45.240 Cyberpunk twenty seventy seven, Tony Hawk's pro Skater one and two, 205 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.879 Assassin's Creed Valhalla, the Last of Us Part two.

Virgil's Theme from DMC five. Uh, 209 00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:10.240 what is SP Special Editions? 210 00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:14.679 Why is it sp SP just special? Sorry?

I really like Tony Hawk's pro Skater one 223 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:50.519 and two soundtrack, but I don't like I haven't listened 224 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:52.159 to that since, and I don't know if I will again. 225 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:53.279 Assassin's Creed Vahaala. 226 00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:55.960 There's a couple of songs I really like on that soundtrack, 227 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:56.679 but I don't think. 228 00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:58.440 It is I think Tony Hawk. I agree with you 229 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:00.320 on Tony Hawk. I would say it like does deserves 230 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:02.559 a shout out for like the fact that they did 231 00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.639 get most of those license songs that people have a 232 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:07.759 lot of nostalgia for in there, Like that's the one 233 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:10.960 I was like Superman such a hit or miss thing 234 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:12.960 when it comes to like remakes and like bringing in 235 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:15.879 old tracks like or you know, you always hear stuff 236 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:17.799 about like ah GTA had to patch out this one 237 00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:21.159 song like that kind of thing. Like, so I guess 238 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:24.000 just shout out to them for like able to get 239 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.879 all that stuff, like even though yeah, I agree, I 240 00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:29.000 don't necessarily listened to it all that much. 241 00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:31.600 Yeah, not only that too, but they did add a 242 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.759 bunch of new tracks that that fits surprisingly well. Like 243 00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.279 I remember playing through that and being like, yeah, I 244 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.320 remember this in the original, and then I looked it 245 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:40.840 up and I was like, no, this song came out 246 00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:41.879 in twenty seventeen. 247 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:43.279 There's no way it was in the original. 248 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.879 Yeah. 249 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.639 Yeah, I don't know where to go from there. 250 00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:54.000 Uh you put cyberpunk. Cyberpunk's weird to me because there's 251 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:57.240 like two different soundtracks. There's like the like proper like 252 00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.600 game score, and then there's like the original all like 253 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:04.759 songs that they had people make that like play the radio. Uh. 254 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.960 And I would say for me, the I really like 255 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.840 the original soundtrack, Like I say, like V's theme and 256 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:12.759 like Johnny's theme. The theme is the theme that plays 257 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:14.360 on the main menu. If you let that menu sit 258 00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:21.080 long enough, it's like, Oh, it's banger, absolute banger. The 259 00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:23.639 the radio stuff is like, I love that they made 260 00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:27.559 custom songs to like fit for night City, super hit 261 00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:29.600 or miss. For me, some of them are really good 262 00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:34.559 and some of them I'm like, nah, this is bad. 263 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.360 The one I linked, though, has been in my head 264 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:40.440 for weeks, and I think it's very good and that 265 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:42.879 that song sound's good. There's even a Run the Jewels 266 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:44.600 song in there that I really like. But I still 267 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:48.399 think that song I linked is the best track I've 268 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:50.080 heard on the radio so far. But yeah, I think 269 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.879 you're right. I think the thing that really shines is 270 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:57.120 the original soundtrack or the original score. But even then, 271 00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:59.519 I don't know if I would call that my favorite 272 00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:00.879 sound No. 273 00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.000 It's just got a couple of like really good standout ones. 274 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:06.559 Can I add one more? The Black Ops cold War 275 00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:08.200 menu music, It's dope. 276 00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:09.480 Oh yeah, it's actually pretty cool. 277 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:16.600 Yeah, I think we could probably eliminate Animal Crossing, Like 278 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:19.440 I really like animal Crossing music, but I feel like 279 00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:20.399 it's a known quantity. 280 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:22.320 Five PM theme slaps though. 281 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:23.240 Yeah, but the. 282 00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:25.120 Two PM theme is Garbo. 283 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:28.639 Have you heard Georgia was telling me about it. The 284 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.279 three AM themes, yeah, where it's just like, yeah, it's 285 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.919 like the game knows like you are delirious and decides 286 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:38.799 to just join you. 287 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:41.600 That's that's what all the weird stuff happens with the 288 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.080 aliens and all that on TV though. 289 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:44.120 Oh that's true. 290 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:44.480 Yeah. 291 00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:47.799 I just imagine like a bunch of offbeat and like 292 00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:50.279 like out of tune instruments playing. 293 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:55.360 Like basically that it's it's wild you should go a lot. 294 00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:59.919 Yeah. I put Haites on this list because I think 295 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.440 but like the music that plays when you start a 296 00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:04.960 run is still like it really pumps you up, and 297 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.840 then like the battle music with different against the different 298 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.480 like bosses is really strong. It's just like it's a 299 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:15.480 good like kind of like rock soundtrack that doesn't come 300 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:17.559 across as like too edgy or like we're trying to 301 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:19.840 be too cool and metal like it's just like a 302 00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:21.000 good rock soundtrack. 303 00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:23.240 Yeah, I agree with that. 304 00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:27.039 Yeah, No, Doom Maternal on this list. 305 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:30.720 Do Maternal Soundtrack didn't speak out to me the way 306 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:34.039 twenty sixteens did, like they're like twenty sixteen.

They're very, very good songs. They not only slap, 324 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.480 but they're emotionally charged, and that's what I looked for 325 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:30.320 in my favorite type of music. 326 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:32.960 Well, speaking of fourteen, then we also have Final Fantasy 327 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:35.840 seven remake here, which might be my favorite. 328 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:37.559 Wall the wallbangers for sure. 329 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:39.279 Yeah, the music and that game is really good. 330 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:43.440 Either that or Last of Us Part two I think are. 331 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:43.039 The ones for me. 332 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:46.279 But even Last of His Part two soundtrack doesn't hit 333 00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:47.879 as well as the original. 334 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:49.639 Yeah, I would agree. 335 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:52.480 I will say I really did like the songs they 336 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:54.799 pulled because there's a Pearl Jam song in there, which 337 00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:55.639 of course I'm. 338 00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:56.679 A fan of. 339 00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.240 But also it introduced me to Crooked Still, which is 340 00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.480 an excellent group that I've been listening to quite often, 341 00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:06.759 and I just thought that music choice is really good. 342 00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:09.319 So yeah, I don't know what are we gonna call 343 00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:09.799 this one. 344 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:13.000 It really seems like Final Fantasy seven remake is like 345 00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:14.759 the runaway winner on this one. 346 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:17.279 Well, I want to give a couple quickly, a couple 347 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.720 of shoutouts to one.

It's so cool. 555 00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:08.440 I think the stuff like Bluepoint added like visually just 556 00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:10.839 like because it's mechanically the same fight, but like the 557 00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:13.720 storms and like the visual effects happening in the background, 558 00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:18.200 the crdential rain like enhance that that fight and really 559 00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:19.839 make it something special in a way that it was 560 00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:22.359 like it was. It was special when it first came out, 561 00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:24.119 but it feels like even better. 562 00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:28.559 I didn't put this one, but I think Jake did. 563 00:28:28.599 --> 00:28:30.599 But this is probably my favorite is the museum trip 564 00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.640 in the Last of Us Part two. That sequence is 565 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:37.960 so special, like it's one of the more like positive 566 00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:41.839 scenes in the game. And even then, like there's some 567 00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:46.680 there's darkness to it. But I had way too much 568 00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:49.960 fun going through the museum and looking at all the. 569 00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:52.599 Dinosaurs, putting hats on dinosaurs. 570 00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:54.039 And putting hats on dinosaurs. 571 00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:56.839 I missed the hat I had. I feel bad I 572 00:28:56.880 --> 00:28:59.279 didn't get the full hat experience when I when I 573 00:28:59.279 --> 00:28:59.880 did that level. 574 00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.640 Yeah, it it does. It just It really spoke to 575 00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:06.480 me because like it's the kinds of interactions I would 576 00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:10.079 probably have with my own dad at a museum, because 577 00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:12.160 my dad was always trying to foster like a love 578 00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:15.559 of science in me and like space and stuff. So 579 00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:20.160 there's just a lot of good I thought this category 580 00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:25.039 was going to be cut, so I didn't add any. 581 00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:25.720 But we can come back around you if there's one 582 00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:26.799 that comes to you that you want to add. 583 00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.160 Yeah, I well I did. There's like some stuff in Hades. 584 00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:32.400 I actually I just want to shout it out. 585 00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:32.960 I don't. 586 00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:35.079 I'm not going to do it justice. It's not even 587 00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:36.799 it's not really a spoiler. I don't think it's a 588 00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:40.799 spoiler at all. But there's one exchange in Hades that 589 00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:47.680 blew me away with how horny it was. Uh there's 590 00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:53.839 a point where you can interact with Meg's sister and 591 00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:59.440 she says something about like making Zagaria scream, and he's like, oh, 592 00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:01.799 I'm sure I would have thought Meg would have told 593 00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:04.480 you all about what that was like by now, And 594 00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:11.200 I was like, wow, I use the switch's thirty second 595 00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:17.359 recording function to record it for myself because it's just like, 596 00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:19.000 oh my god. 597 00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:28.400 So that one also, yeah, I didn't put anything ben 598 00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:30.359 you put karaoke from Yacha and seven. There is so 599 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:32.279 many kids in seven. 600 00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:36.960 I think. I think karaoke specifically for me because one 601 00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:39.119 of the weird things when you first see Yakaza and 602 00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:41.039 hear about it is that there's a karaoke minigame and 603 00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:43.359 you think that's silly, and then you go and do it, 604 00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:44.559 and then you mess around with it more and you 605 00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:48.839 get to the songs where you can't sing because kirie 606 00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:52.559 are the protagonists only can do backup for it. So 607 00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:54.799 it'll just take you to this picture of a lone 608 00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:58.720 man sitting in a karaoke room by himself, like banging 609 00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:04.920 a tambourine and yelling just random things. And to have 610 00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:08.279 that experience be flipped because now you have party members 611 00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:11.480 and not only are you actually cheering on people who 612 00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:15.200 are singing themselves, but to have other people finally cheer 613 00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:18.160 you on when you sing it was really nice. 614 00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:23.359 The English, the English in particular, when you do passionate karaoke, 615 00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:27.960 when you do backa me tie for Nanba, like, he'll 616 00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:29.440 be just like singing and then all of a sudden, 617 00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:31.279 eachi band in the background will just be like. 618 00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:32.079 You're killing it. 619 00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:32.400 Man. 620 00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:36.799 It'll just like yell that and it's the funniest fucking 621 00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:41.319 thing to me. It's so good. I uh, I love it. 622 00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:43.400 I love it. I love his passion. I want eachiban 623 00:31:43.519 --> 00:31:45.799 to do karaoke with me because I would maybe actually 624 00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:47.920 want to sing because he's just like, hey man, you 625 00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:49.680 got this uh okay. 626 00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:54.480 One here that I added that I thought was I 627 00:31:55.759 --> 00:31:58.039 put first death in fasmophobia, But I don't know if 628 00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:01.319 it's actually the death that I thought was so exciting. 629 00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:04.240 But I think it was just the experience of pasmophobia 630 00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:08.279 once it clicks and when you do lose someone or 631 00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:11.000 like you and your team are like, okay, we gotta leave, 632 00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:13.359 and then the door slams shut and the light starts flickering, 633 00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:15.119 and you just know you're like, all. 634 00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:17.720 Right, someone's fucked. Who's it gonna be? 635 00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:21.640 And people like like push people out of the way 636 00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:23.000 to get in the closet and hide in the. 637 00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:23.759 Closet and stuff. 638 00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:27.599 Yeah, just that whole every Man from Shell motion that 639 00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:30.039 happens right when the door slams and the lights go 640 00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:33.000 out and it's like, oh uh good. 641 00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:36.960 When we first played, I think like Timoor died and 642 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:39.279 we all like opened up the door and Timor's body 643 00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:42.160 was just stuck in the wall, and it was like 644 00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:46.559 the funniest Oh my god, learning. 645 00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:48.119 That if you look up in the air, your character's 646 00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:50.720 back bends and then they can walk around with like 647 00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:53.240 a broken back. That's a pretty good moment too. That 648 00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:55.960 might be up there for me. Yeah. 649 00:32:55.960 --> 00:32:58.880 I wrote about fasmophobia for my Editor's Choices year because 650 00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:02.519 like my favorite moment is very similar to what Jake 651 00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:05.519 was describing, where like we were like, okay, let's go 652 00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:08.400 back to the truck, and then everybody was out of 653 00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:10.880 the house but me, and then the door locked and 654 00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:13.680 then I saw a little baby ghost walking at me. 655 00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:18.160 And I'm pretty sure we were playing with like in 656 00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:20.039 game chat rather than discord chat. 657 00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:21.680 That's the best way because it cuts out. 658 00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:25.839 Because when you die, people can't hear you, and but 659 00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:27.559 you couldn't hear me through like I didn't want to 660 00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:30.000 make any noise, like because the ghost was right outside. 661 00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:31.880 I was in a closet hiding, like and I could 662 00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:35.400 hear all the boys pounding on the door, like Cally. 663 00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:38.839 Are you alive.

Five season and sometimes twos. 1121 00:57:54.039 --> 00:57:57.320 I will tell you. It made it an interesting review 1122 00:57:57.360 --> 00:57:59.440 to edit because I had to edit that review, and 1123 00:57:59.480 --> 00:58:01.360 I like, really he liked the game, and I'm like cutting, 1124 00:58:01.400 --> 00:58:02.679 Like Autumn, I'm like. 1125 00:58:02.840 --> 00:58:05.199 This point is good. I don't know why you're trying 1126 00:58:05.239 --> 00:58:09.119 to read a good point, but counterpoint, I have fun. 1127 00:58:09.920 --> 00:58:10.599 I had fun. 1128 00:58:11.480 --> 00:58:13.039 That's the thing is, like I feel that way about 1129 00:58:13.039 --> 00:58:16.960 some movies too. Like I I don't revere Roger Ebert 1130 00:58:17.039 --> 00:58:18.400 the way a lot of people do. But he had 1131 00:58:18.440 --> 00:58:21.199 a review of The Mummy nineteen ninety nine in which 1132 00:58:21.559 --> 00:58:24.719 he talked about how like he can't really say anything 1133 00:58:24.719 --> 00:58:29.159 for the script or like anything about the movie, but 1134 00:58:29.199 --> 00:58:33.079 that it was just a fantastic time. And I would disagree. 1135 00:58:33.119 --> 00:58:34.840 I think everything about that movie is perfect. 1136 00:58:35.239 --> 00:58:36.119 But it's true. 1137 00:58:36.679 --> 00:58:37.960 I think there's a lot of movies that are just 1138 00:58:37.960 --> 00:58:40.119 a fun time, and I think that can be true 1139 00:58:40.119 --> 00:58:44.480 for games that are not maybe the highest caliber of game. Yeah, 1140 00:58:44.519 --> 00:58:46.199 And so for those reasons, I think we should give 1141 00:58:46.199 --> 00:58:49.519 it a Bungebob score pants butt for rehydrid That. 1142 00:58:49.480 --> 00:58:50.039 Works for me. 1143 00:58:50.239 --> 00:58:52.679 Man Eaters seems too good to be guilty pleasure. 1144 00:58:52.800 --> 00:58:54.800 Like, I get why it's there, but after hearing you 1145 00:58:54.800 --> 00:58:58.280 guys talk about it, I'm like, that seems like slightly. 1146 00:58:58.000 --> 00:59:00.239 Above where you'd put a guilty pleasure game. 1147 00:59:01.320 --> 00:59:04.480 And Mafia Definitive Edition just just kind of existed. 1148 00:59:04.639 --> 00:59:08.480 I guess, like I enjoyed that game, but like, I 1149 00:59:08.840 --> 00:59:09.400 don't know. 1150 00:59:09.519 --> 00:59:11.639 I put it on there because I think again, like 1151 00:59:11.679 --> 00:59:13.679 the review, I think we gave it a six. I 1152 00:59:13.679 --> 00:59:14.519 forget who reviewed it. 1153 00:59:15.719 --> 00:59:17.639 I don't remember the score for that one, actually. 1154 00:59:18.119 --> 00:59:21.000 But I thought that the review was on point where 1155 00:59:21.039 --> 00:59:23.480 it's like, yeah, like the mechanics of that game are 1156 00:59:24.079 --> 00:59:27.000 not really aged gracefully or brought up in a way 1157 00:59:27.039 --> 00:59:29.880 that you would feel satisfying. But as somebody who had 1158 00:59:29.880 --> 00:59:32.760 never played the original Mafia and like played it for 1159 00:59:32.760 --> 00:59:35.880 the first time, I really liked that game story and 1160 00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:38.440 characters a lot. I was like compelled to play that 1161 00:59:38.519 --> 00:59:44.679 game the whole way through for that reason alone, even 1162 00:59:44.719 --> 00:59:48.000 if mechanically it was it was kind of yeah, like 1163 00:59:48.159 --> 00:59:49.360 not not that great. 1164 00:59:50.400 --> 00:59:53.159 Yeah, I enjoyed it. It made me really want to 1165 00:59:53.159 --> 00:59:58.800 play Mafia too again. But I'm good with SpongeBob Let 1166 00:59:58.800 --> 01:00:03.360 Me Go, Yeah, SpongeBob all right, Guilty Pleasures, SpongeBob SquarePants, 1167 01:00:03.400 --> 01:00:06.280 Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated. 1168 01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:08.400 I love to see it all right. 1169 01:00:08.480 --> 01:00:11.760 The next category is most Underrated Game of the Year. 1170 01:00:11.960 --> 01:00:19.000 The nominees are Star Wars, Squadrons, Doom Eternal, Lol Bug Snacks, 1171 01:00:19.800 --> 01:00:26.559 Deep Rock Galactic, Spolunky two, Ghost Runner, Man Eater, and 1172 01:00:26.880 --> 01:00:27.519 Fall Guys. 1173 01:00:28.679 --> 01:00:31.360 So I put Doom Maternal here because no one talks 1174 01:00:31.360 --> 01:00:33.639 about that game despite it being really good. 1175 01:00:34.159 --> 01:00:36.679 I like that game. I didn't even bring it up, 1176 01:00:36.760 --> 01:00:39.880 like get to in the weeds, like it there is 1177 01:00:39.960 --> 01:00:42.000 like a I didn't even bring it up in the 1178 01:00:42.039 --> 01:00:43.639 Game of the Year discussion because I just was like, 1179 01:00:43.840 --> 01:00:48.239 I know, this isn't gonna go anywhere. I like totally 1180 01:00:48.320 --> 01:00:53.079 understand why that game is like so divisive, I guess 1181 01:00:53.199 --> 01:00:55.679 or like mixed feelings on it, Like I do think 1182 01:00:55.719 --> 01:00:59.719 that game demands something very specific of you, and if 1183 01:00:59.760 --> 01:01:01.719 like that's not your thing, like you're not gonna you're 1184 01:01:01.719 --> 01:01:04.280 gonna bounce off her enjoy it. But like I totally 1185 01:01:04.280 --> 01:01:07.400 get it. But personally it's like for me, like it 1186 01:01:07.519 --> 01:01:10.880 was exactly what I wanted and like I I gave 1187 01:01:10.920 --> 01:01:13.480 myself over to the Doom and I had a very 1188 01:01:13.519 --> 01:01:15.519 good time with it. So I like that game quite 1189 01:01:15.519 --> 01:01:18.239 a bit, but I totally get it. I know, I know, 1190 01:01:18.320 --> 01:01:20.639 Ben maybe a throw to you. I know you, Uh 1191 01:01:20.760 --> 01:01:21.639 it didn't work for you? 1192 01:01:22.079 --> 01:01:24.519 Yeah it I mean, I'm glad I played it. It's 1193 01:01:24.599 --> 01:01:27.159 it's just I still feel like twenty sixteen was just 1194 01:01:27.199 --> 01:01:28.079 a bit better. 1195 01:01:29.320 --> 01:01:29.599 For me. 1196 01:01:29.840 --> 01:01:32.639 But I like a lot of what it tried to 1197 01:01:32.639 --> 01:01:34.960 set out to do. Like apparently they were like, we 1198 01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:36.960 need to we need to tell a story. There needs 1199 01:01:37.000 --> 01:01:40.280 to be plot, and we need to know what is 1200 01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:41.760 going on with the Doom guy. 1201 01:01:42.599 --> 01:01:43.800 And yeah, that was a bit weird. 1202 01:01:44.280 --> 01:01:46.639 They they really did it. They really went way out 1203 01:01:46.639 --> 01:01:48.119 of their way and the story. 1204 01:01:48.159 --> 01:01:51.239 They went like deep into the lore in a way 1205 01:01:51.239 --> 01:01:55.039 that I was like, it was weird. It was weird 1206 01:01:55.039 --> 01:01:57.360 how deep into the lore they went in that game. 1207 01:01:57.440 --> 01:02:00.639 I feel like they watched like all those people who 1208 01:02:00.719 --> 01:02:02.760 make like Dark Soul's Lord videos and they're like, what 1209 01:02:02.760 --> 01:02:06.119 if we do that for Doom. It was like really weird, 1210 01:02:06.480 --> 01:02:07.880 but like I was kind of into it. 1211 01:02:07.920 --> 01:02:10.519 I don't know, it was weird though, because I feel 1212 01:02:10.559 --> 01:02:14.000 like one of the big compliments Doom twenty sixteen got 1213 01:02:14.079 --> 01:02:17.440 was how it just took its story, Like, I mean, 1214 01:02:17.480 --> 01:02:20.519 it's was so ridiculous with his story and like that 1215 01:02:20.559 --> 01:02:22.719 famous scene at the beginning where he just like breaks 1216 01:02:22.760 --> 01:02:24.960 the machine you're supposed to like turn on, and in 1217 01:02:25.000 --> 01:02:27.960 this they kind of straight away from that, which I 1218 01:02:28.119 --> 01:02:33.000 definitely get what you're saying. My standout here though, is 1219 01:02:33.039 --> 01:02:35.280 Pelunky two because that game came out at the same 1220 01:02:35.320 --> 01:02:39.199 time as Hades and no one, no one talked about 1221 01:02:39.239 --> 01:02:40.360 it really at all. 1222 01:02:41.000 --> 01:02:44.440 Yeah, yeah, I think that's a really fair point because 1223 01:02:44.480 --> 01:02:48.440 I started Haites super late because I had got Splunky two, 1224 01:02:48.480 --> 01:02:51.360 had gotten its hooks in me, but all anyone could 1225 01:02:51.360 --> 01:02:53.800 talk about was Hades on Twitter, and so I was 1226 01:02:53.840 --> 01:02:56.280 really late to the Hades conversation. But I really enjoyed 1227 01:02:56.639 --> 01:02:58.719 my time was Plunky two. It was just like it 1228 01:02:58.760 --> 01:03:03.760 was so hard, very hard, and I but I like 1229 01:03:03.880 --> 01:03:06.280 there were there were a good couple of weeks where 1230 01:03:06.280 --> 01:03:08.400 like that's all I could think about doing. 1231 01:03:09.119 --> 01:03:11.880 Then you added a You added one pretty late here. 1232 01:03:11.960 --> 01:03:15.280 I did, I've read that the name of the category again, 1233 01:03:15.320 --> 01:03:19.119 I was like underrated. Yes, Soccer Wars is a game 1234 01:03:19.159 --> 01:03:21.920 that I played this year that I feel like a 1235 01:03:21.960 --> 01:03:24.719 lot of people should probably look at a bit more. 1236 01:03:24.840 --> 01:03:27.039 It's it's a visual novel, which makes it kind of 1237 01:03:27.280 --> 01:03:30.159 difficult to recommend to a lot of people, but it's 1238 01:03:30.199 --> 01:03:34.840 really really well done, and it also has its main 1239 01:03:35.119 --> 01:03:40.079 like gameplay. Outside of that is Muso stuff, which is 1240 01:03:40.239 --> 01:03:43.280 just the perfect combination for me, if you want to 1241 01:03:43.320 --> 01:03:46.840 get my attention a visual novel Muso. But it has 1242 01:03:46.880 --> 01:03:50.000 such good characters and it's like the first I think 1243 01:03:50.079 --> 01:03:52.679 it's the first time that series actually got like localized 1244 01:03:52.679 --> 01:03:57.000 and brought over here, and it's really neat and colorful, 1245 01:03:57.400 --> 01:03:58.400 and I like it a lot. 1246 01:03:59.079 --> 01:04:01.000 Did you play Thirteen Sentinels been? 1247 01:04:01.320 --> 01:04:02.559 I did? I was. 1248 01:04:03.039 --> 01:04:04.679 That's a game that people have been talking about a 1249 01:04:04.719 --> 01:04:05.360 lot recently. 1250 01:04:05.440 --> 01:04:09.920 Hold on, I got you, Jake, let me just eighteen cents, 1251 01:04:10.039 --> 01:04:10.519 let's go. 1252 01:04:10.760 --> 01:04:13.440 When you put in soccer awars, I the first thing 1253 01:04:13.480 --> 01:04:15.960 I thought of was, oh my god, thirteen Sentinels, because 1254 01:04:15.960 --> 01:04:18.800 I feel like that game got overlooked a lot, but 1255 01:04:19.039 --> 01:04:22.480 is like everybody I'm seeing talking about it now is like, Wow, 1256 01:04:22.519 --> 01:04:26.840 this game is amazing, and like, I think people really 1257 01:04:26.880 --> 01:04:29.239 slept on it. I personally haven't played it. It's it's 1258 01:04:29.280 --> 01:04:30.559 on my list of things that I really want to 1259 01:04:30.559 --> 01:04:33.840 play because I also slept on it. 1260 01:04:33.840 --> 01:04:36.679 It's ye, it's a difficult game, I think to talk 1261 01:04:36.719 --> 01:04:39.239 about other than just being like play thirteen Sentinels. It's 1262 01:04:39.280 --> 01:04:41.400 really wacky and weird and wild and crazy, and it 1263 01:04:41.519 --> 01:04:44.840 does something you'll never expect literally every like hour and 1264 01:04:44.920 --> 01:04:48.440 a half you're playing it. It also is not too long. 1265 01:04:48.519 --> 01:04:52.159 One hundred percent of it in thirty hours. Oh wow, OK, 1266 01:04:52.320 --> 01:04:55.320 it doesn't It doesn't take too much time. The fighting 1267 01:04:55.480 --> 01:04:56.119 is kind of fun. 1268 01:04:56.199 --> 01:04:58.320 But what kind of game is like an hours? 1269 01:04:58.400 --> 01:05:00.360 Yeah, that's what I thought, and then I sart like 1270 01:05:00.400 --> 01:05:01.880 getting through it, and as I realized, I'm like, oh, 1271 01:05:01.880 --> 01:05:04.119 I've only got three trophies left in this. This is whatever. 1272 01:05:04.119 --> 01:05:07.159 I'll just keep going and finish everything off. But it's 1273 01:05:08.400 --> 01:05:11.440 it's wild what they managed to pull off in that game. 1274 01:05:11.559 --> 01:05:16.519 Story wise, You think you know what's happening in it 1275 01:05:16.519 --> 01:05:19.280 at any given moment, and they'll disprove you and then 1276 01:05:19.320 --> 01:05:23.199 throw like fourteen other things in that make you think 1277 01:05:23.239 --> 01:05:27.920 of other things and then tell you that all that's wrong. 1278 01:05:26.119 --> 01:05:31.039 And a real dog and Rapa situation is what we're. 1279 01:05:30.880 --> 01:05:33.719 Talking about, because I talked over Jake's question what kind 1280 01:05:33.760 --> 01:05:35.960 of game is it? 1281 01:05:35.960 --> 01:05:40.719 It's another kind of visual novel, but it's got like 1282 01:05:40.760 --> 01:05:43.880 a really kind of if you took what Fireblam did 1283 01:05:43.920 --> 01:05:46.400 like gameplay wise with its strategy stuff and kind of 1284 01:05:47.079 --> 01:05:50.440 watered it down a lot. It's kind of what the 1285 01:05:50.880 --> 01:05:55.519 combat's like. Okay, yeah, it's it's very good. Highly recommend it, 1286 01:05:56.079 --> 01:05:57.039 Definitely check it out. 1287 01:05:57.320 --> 01:05:57.440 Man. 1288 01:05:57.599 --> 01:06:00.039 I feel like, I mean, we have like some some 1289 01:06:00.360 --> 01:06:02.480 good shout outs on this list, but I feel like 1290 01:06:02.639 --> 01:06:07.119 it kind of seems like it's between like Spelunky thirteen Sentinels. 1291 01:06:07.639 --> 01:06:10.719 I can definitely see a case for Doom Maternal. 1292 01:06:11.920 --> 01:06:15.840 I would probably can't do Maternal, Okay. From that, we 1293 01:06:15.880 --> 01:06:17.800 could cut Doom Eternal. 1294 01:06:19.800 --> 01:06:20.320 Yeah. I don't know. 1295 01:06:20.400 --> 01:06:21.320 This is a tough one. 1296 01:06:21.639 --> 01:06:22.760 I just feel like I want to give it to 1297 01:06:22.800 --> 01:06:23.719 thirteen Sentinels now. 1298 01:06:24.400 --> 01:06:26.000 Thirty Sentinels is where I'm at. 1299 01:06:26.159 --> 01:06:27.960 When I looked at the list and when you put 1300 01:06:27.960 --> 01:06:31.159 in for some reason, Soccer Wars, I was like anime, 1301 01:06:31.320 --> 01:06:31.760 and then. 1302 01:06:31.639 --> 01:06:35.280 I weird game has been likes, ah, yes, this is it. 1303 01:06:35.800 --> 01:06:39.119 And then I was like, oh shiit thirteen Sentinels so underrated. 1304 01:06:39.119 --> 01:06:40.840 We forgot to put it on the underrated list. 1305 01:06:41.199 --> 01:06:43.599 Oh yeah, I would agree. That makes sense to me. 1306 01:06:43.719 --> 01:06:46.559 Thirteen Sentinels it is, yeah, all right. 1307 01:06:47.199 --> 01:06:54.039 The next category is best Localization. The nominees are Animal Crossing, 1308 01:06:54.119 --> 01:07:00.119 New Horizons, Persona five, Royal Yakaza like a Dragon and 1309 01:07:00.159 --> 01:07:03.719 Final Fantasy seven remake. The clear winner is Yaxil like 1310 01:07:03.800 --> 01:07:04.920 a track and we don't have. 1311 01:07:04.920 --> 01:07:07.039 To do it is let's just saying you gotta look 1312 01:07:07.079 --> 01:07:10.880 forward to the next category to kind of rule one out. 1313 01:07:10.880 --> 01:07:15.079 I think, right, yeah, I added Final Fantasy Remake to 1314 01:07:15.079 --> 01:07:18.280 that just because well, it is good, and I feel 1315 01:07:18.280 --> 01:07:19.800 like it's kind of expected to be good, because like 1316 01:07:19.840 --> 01:07:21.960 I think a Square kind of has their their stuff 1317 01:07:21.960 --> 01:07:24.320 together with localization. But I put it on there because 1318 01:07:24.320 --> 01:07:27.519 I after I played the remake, I went back and 1319 01:07:27.519 --> 01:07:32.719 played the original. That game's localization is terrible. It's so 1320 01:07:32.960 --> 01:07:35.599 bad to the to the point where I was like, 1321 01:07:36.199 --> 01:07:39.159 this is like hurting my enjoyment of some of these 1322 01:07:39.199 --> 01:07:44.719 scenes and characters. Everyone calls it the enra in that game, 1323 01:07:45.239 --> 01:07:48.719 and it's like they there's just some really weird, bad 1324 01:07:48.800 --> 01:07:52.280 localization in that game. So like, even though at this 1325 01:07:52.360 --> 01:07:55.119 point is like it's expected that remake would be good, 1326 01:07:55.159 --> 01:07:58.400 it's like, yeah, no, it like a good localization really 1327 01:07:58.519 --> 01:08:01.000 enhances that game story and characters. 1328 01:08:01.360 --> 01:08:03.840 The original also had some stuff that definitely wouldn't fly 1329 01:08:03.920 --> 01:08:05.599 today and is kind of effensive. 1330 01:08:06.199 --> 01:08:08.079 Yeah, not too yeah for sure. 1331 01:08:08.440 --> 01:08:10.960 So I think, yeah, I think the easy ones for 1332 01:08:11.000 --> 01:08:12.559 me to cut it would be Persona five Royal and 1333 01:08:12.599 --> 01:08:15.519 Final Fantasy seven, just because I feel like there were 1334 01:08:15.559 --> 01:08:18.720 conversations in both of those games many times where I 1335 01:08:18.760 --> 01:08:22.680 was like, huh, that doesn't that no one would say that, Like, 1336 01:08:22.720 --> 01:08:25.319 no one would respond that way, and like it was 1337 01:08:25.319 --> 01:08:27.560 definitely less so in Final Fantasy seven remake, but I 1338 01:08:27.600 --> 01:08:29.920 definitely remember that happening Persona. 1339 01:08:29.560 --> 01:08:30.640 Five Royal though a lot. 1340 01:08:30.680 --> 01:08:32.760 There's like a lot of conversations that end and I'm 1341 01:08:32.760 --> 01:08:34.640 just like, wait, what, Well. 1342 01:08:34.520 --> 01:08:37.399 Yeah, Personifi Royal I put on here just because they 1343 01:08:37.640 --> 01:08:40.199 rectified a lot of the issues with base Persona five 1344 01:08:40.359 --> 01:08:44.119 with like tests and like quizzes in the class because 1345 01:08:44.119 --> 01:08:46.640 there were like kanji related ones that weren't translated well, 1346 01:08:48.000 --> 01:08:50.960 and so there's there's stuff that they improved. But yes, 1347 01:08:51.039 --> 01:08:54.079 I will say, like at the very beginning when I 1348 01:08:54.119 --> 01:08:55.960 think I should talked about this on the podcast before, 1349 01:08:56.039 --> 01:09:00.800 when you say please take care of me to Socra, 1350 01:09:01.119 --> 01:09:05.560 is like, that's just I don't that's not how It's 1351 01:09:05.640 --> 01:09:07.640 just a really hard thing to translate, but like no 1352 01:09:07.680 --> 01:09:12.239 one would say that. Yeah, and the constant for real. 1353 01:09:13.000 --> 01:09:15.159 We'll get that, not just the point where I. 1354 01:09:15.119 --> 01:09:17.560 Love that I know I know I love for real now, 1355 01:09:17.680 --> 01:09:18.560 but like Royal. 1356 01:09:18.439 --> 01:09:21.119 Kind of ended up in a weird situation where I 1357 01:09:21.159 --> 01:09:24.079 think that team knows that that original localization wasn't what 1358 01:09:24.079 --> 01:09:27.760 it could have been, but they probably they didn't have 1359 01:09:27.760 --> 01:09:30.600 the budget to like redo Royal, like like they know 1360 01:09:30.720 --> 01:09:33.479 better now or like maybe have the ability to improve it, 1361 01:09:33.520 --> 01:09:36.560 but uh, I couldn't with the budget. 1362 01:09:36.960 --> 01:09:39.760 Yeah, and like to the credit of the team, the 1363 01:09:39.760 --> 01:09:43.000 localization team, Like, you don't want to overlocalize something either, 1364 01:09:43.159 --> 01:09:46.000 because you don't want to turn And I've talked about 1365 01:09:46.039 --> 01:09:47.560 this before, so I won't go on about it too much, 1366 01:09:47.600 --> 01:09:49.119 but like you don't want to turn something that is 1367 01:09:49.159 --> 01:09:52.840 inherently Japanese like too americanized, because then you're losing a 1368 01:09:52.840 --> 01:09:56.680 lot of the meaning. So like it's a tough uh, 1369 01:09:56.840 --> 01:09:58.159 it's a tightrope for sure. 1370 01:09:58.600 --> 01:10:01.479 I think to to Yakuza is like like something that 1371 01:10:01.520 --> 01:10:03.680 helps youkus is like a dragon is. 1372 01:10:04.279 --> 01:10:07.359 I'm kind of expecting the writing to be stranger and 1373 01:10:07.439 --> 01:10:08.079 off the wall. 1374 01:10:08.359 --> 01:10:11.399 I'm not like like when something doesn't quite add up, 1375 01:10:11.479 --> 01:10:12.600 I just think it's funny. 1376 01:10:13.239 --> 01:10:14.119 Maybe it's just me. 1377 01:10:14.479 --> 01:10:20.600 But yeah, because it has that soap opera kind of quality. Yeah, 1378 01:10:20.600 --> 01:10:23.640 but I mean Animal Crossing I think has always had 1379 01:10:23.880 --> 01:10:28.279 really strong localization. I love, like there's a lot that 1380 01:10:28.279 --> 01:10:31.680 sounds so natural in Animal Crossing, a lot of great jokes, 1381 01:10:31.680 --> 01:10:33.920 like great puns, which of course you have to write 1382 01:10:33.960 --> 01:10:36.920 the puns yourself when you're localizing because those don't translate. 1383 01:10:38.199 --> 01:10:40.479 So shout out to new horizons. But as we talked 1384 01:10:40.479 --> 01:10:44.199 about before on the podcast, like a Dragon's dual localization 1385 01:10:44.640 --> 01:10:49.199 is like incredible, absolutely blew me away when I read 1386 01:10:49.279 --> 01:10:51.079 that that was in the game, that you would get 1387 01:10:51.079 --> 01:10:54.399 a different version of the localization. Localization based on the 1388 01:10:54.520 --> 01:11:00.479 voice track you pick is that's just like that's above 1389 01:11:00.479 --> 01:11:00.960 and beyond. 1390 01:11:01.119 --> 01:11:03.199 Yeah, and and they went the extra mile to to 1391 01:11:03.479 --> 01:11:07.960 properly the Elsh and it's really good, Like it feels 1392 01:11:08.039 --> 01:11:08.920 like natural. 1393 01:11:09.359 --> 01:11:12.000 Yes, so correct me if I'm wrong. But like the 1394 01:11:12.199 --> 01:11:19.039 understanding I got is that like you get more westernized 1395 01:11:19.159 --> 01:11:22.880 version if you use the English voiceover, and then if 1396 01:11:22.880 --> 01:11:30.079 you're using the Japanese voiceover, it's like less localized because. 1397 01:11:29.880 --> 01:11:32.720 That's how it was pitched to me kind of. I mean, 1398 01:11:32.720 --> 01:11:34.840 I would have to like really compare, but I would say, 1399 01:11:35.000 --> 01:11:42.159 to me, it's more like the localization in the for 1400 01:11:42.359 --> 01:11:46.000 like the Japanese vo is like more faithful to the 1401 01:11:46.039 --> 01:11:49.920 perform the Japanese performances, and then it's like with the 1402 01:11:49.920 --> 01:11:52.960 English performances, they like take more liberties to kind of 1403 01:11:52.960 --> 01:11:57.600 make the characters their own and then like yeah, so 1404 01:11:57.640 --> 01:11:59.600 it's like it feels like they were able to have 1405 01:11:59.600 --> 01:12:01.239 the best of both roles because I feel like normally 1406 01:12:01.279 --> 01:12:03.239 you're kind of like weirdly restricted where it's like, wow, 1407 01:12:03.279 --> 01:12:05.159 we can't really adapt this character because we have to 1408 01:12:05.159 --> 01:12:08.239 be very faithful to how they are in the Japanese performance, 1409 01:12:08.239 --> 01:12:10.079 and maybe that limits you as a voice actor. So 1410 01:12:11.399 --> 01:12:14.079 that's at least my interpretation of how they did it. 1411 01:12:14.439 --> 01:12:17.359 All right, so we got to move on because we're 1412 01:12:17.479 --> 01:12:19.479 well pasted an hour now and we still got quite 1413 01:12:19.479 --> 01:12:20.319 a few categories. 1414 01:12:20.359 --> 01:12:22.039 So I got to call this one yeah because of 1415 01:12:22.159 --> 01:12:25.319 like a dragon. Everyone's cool, easy, yeah, all right, next one. 1416 01:12:25.399 --> 01:12:27.239 We can do this one very quickly, I'm sure. 1417 01:12:27.760 --> 01:12:32.000 Yes. This is the Cali Award Worst pronunciation of a 1418 01:12:32.079 --> 01:12:37.239 Japanese name in persona five royal. The nominees are Makoto. 1419 01:12:37.279 --> 01:12:39.359 Wait do the correct pronunciation too. 1420 01:12:40.439 --> 01:12:47.359 Which I would pronounces Makoto so comado, which I think 1421 01:12:47.520 --> 01:12:51.640 most English speakers would just say Sakamoto easy, That one 1422 01:12:51.760 --> 01:12:56.159 is easy, and then to comedy, which I think an 1423 01:12:56.159 --> 01:13:01.359 English speaker would probably say Takamaki. I included this because 1424 01:13:01.399 --> 01:13:03.359 it's not that I want them to over pronounce the 1425 01:13:03.439 --> 01:13:07.680 Japanese names in English. But Sikameda, we already have an 1426 01:13:07.680 --> 01:13:10.720 americanized version of that. Everybody says Soka Poto. 1427 01:13:11.039 --> 01:13:13.199 Yeah, that one has to win, because it's just like, 1428 01:13:13.560 --> 01:13:15.920 why did you change and everyone already has a way 1429 01:13:15.960 --> 01:13:18.079 to Yeah, exactly. It's like you said, so. 1430 01:13:18.319 --> 01:13:23.640 I'm giving it to Sicamado because why all right? 1431 01:13:23.800 --> 01:13:28.319 And that's it fair category. This next category is all 1432 01:13:28.359 --> 01:13:30.640 you too, Cali. You'll have to You'll have to make 1433 01:13:30.640 --> 01:13:31.439 the decision here. 1434 01:13:32.479 --> 01:13:35.520 This is also a Cali category best game my dad 1435 01:13:35.560 --> 01:13:40.760 played this year. The dominees are Battlefield five, Call of Duty, 1436 01:13:40.800 --> 01:13:45.039 Black Ops, Cold War, Metro Last Light, and Spec ups 1437 01:13:45.119 --> 01:13:48.119 the Line. I'm gonna eliminate speck ups the Line because 1438 01:13:48.119 --> 01:13:51.119 my dad has played that game like twelve times. He 1439 01:13:51.840 --> 01:13:54.319 plays it on the hardest difficulties upsesing. 1440 01:13:54.319 --> 01:13:57.560 I mean, that might be the best game though. 1441 01:13:57.439 --> 01:14:00.840 But he played it last year as well. He's just 1442 01:14:00.920 --> 01:14:03.479 going to be playing it. The game that I want 1443 01:14:03.520 --> 01:14:05.600 to give this to is Metro Last Light because now 1444 01:14:05.600 --> 01:14:10.600 my dad is really into the Metro series. Yeah, because 1445 01:14:10.640 --> 01:14:12.159 on a whim he got it because it was on 1446 01:14:12.239 --> 01:14:16.000 sale or something, and now he's really into it, even 1447 01:14:16.039 --> 01:14:23.680 though he didn't understand how the gas masks worked. 1448 01:14:21.399 --> 01:14:24.199 For his new Xbox, his Christmas Xbox. 1449 01:14:24.319 --> 01:14:26.560 Yeah, so I need to give him Exodus because because 1450 01:14:26.560 --> 01:14:28.079 he told me, he was like, yeah, this game is 1451 01:14:28.079 --> 01:14:30.479 really hard, but I'm really into this series. Now I'm 1452 01:14:30.479 --> 01:14:35.119 definitely gonna play the newer one. And I was like, heck, yeah, dad, so. 1453 01:14:35.680 --> 01:14:37.880 Metric the books does he read? 1454 01:14:39.319 --> 01:14:42.039 My dad can't read, I know. 1455 01:14:43.560 --> 01:14:43.760 Read. 1456 01:14:45.840 --> 01:14:46.199 No, he. 1457 01:14:47.840 --> 01:14:50.439 Probably would be like, I can't shoot anything in this book. 1458 01:14:51.680 --> 01:14:52.159 That's fair. 1459 01:14:53.760 --> 01:14:58.960 The next category is best Early Access Game. The nominees 1460 01:14:59.000 --> 01:15:04.319 are Fasmapho, be a Baller's Gate three, and Oubletz. 1461 01:15:06.680 --> 01:15:07.239 Have to give it to. 1462 01:15:07.159 --> 01:15:09.319 That's that's where it's this. 1463 01:15:10.079 --> 01:15:12.279 I feel like Bouldersgate doesn't get it for the reason 1464 01:15:12.520 --> 01:15:16.119 we talked about earlier, which is that like it's really 1465 01:15:16.119 --> 01:15:18.239 good what's in there, but like just that's not the 1466 01:15:18.319 --> 01:15:19.920 kind of game that I want to like play in 1467 01:15:20.039 --> 01:15:22.800 early access. Like like I checked out a little bit 1468 01:15:22.800 --> 01:15:24.359 and I'm like, yep, this seems like it's gonna be 1469 01:15:24.399 --> 01:15:28.279 amazing when it's done. I will play it then, So 1470 01:15:28.319 --> 01:15:30.600 at least for me, it's like, I think it's cool 1471 01:15:30.600 --> 01:15:32.800 that it's an early access and that you know, they 1472 01:15:32.800 --> 01:15:34.840 get to play it and they get all the fan feedback, 1473 01:15:34.880 --> 01:15:36.800 and I think it makes the game better. But at 1474 01:15:36.840 --> 01:15:39.000 least for me personally, it's not the kind of game 1475 01:15:39.039 --> 01:15:40.399 I want to play. 1476 01:15:40.840 --> 01:15:46.560 Early totally, all right, Ubletzite. I didn't play ableets, so 1477 01:15:46.720 --> 01:15:48.560 didn't play I just put it on there because we 1478 01:15:48.600 --> 01:15:51.399 reviewed it in early access, so fast a phobia. 1479 01:15:51.399 --> 01:15:51.840 It is. 1480 01:15:53.439 --> 01:15:59.159 All right. Next category, Character of the Year, non protagonist. 1481 01:16:00.039 --> 01:16:05.359 The nominees are Tifa, Jesse, and Title Fantasy seven remake. 1482 01:16:07.199 --> 01:16:10.520 So I wrote Jesse and then Jake like added a 1483 01:16:10.640 --> 01:16:13.079 suggestion that crossed it out and replaced it with Tifa, 1484 01:16:14.079 --> 01:16:15.159 but I think that got deleted. 1485 01:16:15.239 --> 01:16:17.840 So that's yeah, Esse. 1486 01:16:18.199 --> 01:16:23.520 A Glitchen the Matrix, Tifa and or Jesse. No, just Jesse, 1487 01:16:23.600 --> 01:16:24.319 who just leave it at that. 1488 01:16:25.880 --> 01:16:31.119 Eris from Final Fantasy seven remake, Meg from Hades, Isabelle 1489 01:16:31.199 --> 01:16:37.199 from Animal Crossing, Doctor Maruki from Persona five Royal, Consume 1490 01:16:37.199 --> 01:16:41.199 Me from Persona five Royal, Judy Alvarez from Cyberpunk twenty 1491 01:16:41.239 --> 01:16:46.479 seventy seven, Namba and Yakaza like a Dragon, and Stanley 1492 01:16:46.800 --> 01:16:47.560 in Spirit Fair. 1493 01:16:48.319 --> 01:16:52.239 So I haven't even gotten to like the main stuff 1494 01:16:52.239 --> 01:16:54.960 with Judy, but just hearing everyone talk about Judy, I 1495 01:16:54.960 --> 01:16:56.279 feel like it has to go to Judy. 1496 01:16:56.359 --> 01:16:59.680 It has to be Judy. She's amazing, very good. 1497 01:17:00.279 --> 01:17:03.520 I I do really like Judy. But also I'm a 1498 01:17:03.520 --> 01:17:07.560 tee for Guy in Final Fantasy like two, but specifically 1499 01:17:07.560 --> 01:17:11.720 in remake, Erith's is a really big deal and that, 1500 01:17:13.640 --> 01:17:19.760 without spoiling anything, she's different in a big way, and 1501 01:17:20.399 --> 01:17:23.039 I think, especially in remake, it's it's worth calling her 1502 01:17:23.039 --> 01:17:23.640 out for that. 1503 01:17:24.279 --> 01:17:29.880 I would agree, yeah, yeah. Also I didn't play Spiritfair, 1504 01:17:29.960 --> 01:17:33.800 but I added Stanley because my girlfriend wanted me to 1505 01:17:33.880 --> 01:17:36.279 put Stanley because she says that's the best character in 1506 01:17:36.319 --> 01:17:38.439 Spiritfair in that game is all about the characters, so 1507 01:17:38.680 --> 01:17:44.000 I take her word that Stanley's probably pretty good. I like, 1508 01:17:44.000 --> 01:17:48.600 like a mushroom child that's like really adorable and cute, 1509 01:17:49.520 --> 01:17:52.880 and they give the best hug. So if we were 1510 01:17:52.880 --> 01:17:55.239 to go back to animation, best hug goes to Stanley, 1511 01:17:56.000 --> 01:17:57.439 the Georgia Award goes to. 1512 01:17:59.319 --> 01:17:59.720 Isabelle. 1513 01:18:00.960 --> 01:18:01.920 I put Isabelle there. 1514 01:18:01.920 --> 01:18:03.800 I don't know if you actually think isabel is one 1515 01:18:03.840 --> 01:18:05.760 of your favorite characters of the year. 1516 01:18:06.119 --> 01:18:07.159 But I like Isabelle. 1517 01:18:07.800 --> 01:18:10.760 I like her. I really want her winter sweater. It's 1518 01:18:10.760 --> 01:18:12.960 like a brown card again with flowers on it. I 1519 01:18:13.000 --> 01:18:14.720 don't know why that I can't buy that. 1520 01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:17.560 I'm bummed. She is just stuck behind that desk all 1521 01:18:17.560 --> 01:18:20.680 the time. There's like, like when you do like Turkey Day, 1522 01:18:20.880 --> 01:18:23.079 I'm like, where's Isabelle. She's like sitting in there, and 1523 01:18:23.079 --> 01:18:28.720 I'm like, girl, come out, have some pumpkin Pieve. 1524 01:18:27.479 --> 01:18:29.760 For fourth for the Fireworks Festival. 1525 01:18:30.000 --> 01:18:31.159 Yeah, the Fireworks Festival. 1526 01:18:33.359 --> 01:18:35.399 I mean I didn't play fan of Fantasy seven remakes, 1527 01:18:35.439 --> 01:18:37.239 so like I would have to give it Judy, but. 1528 01:18:39.720 --> 01:18:42.359 I did. I would give it to Judy, I think. 1529 01:18:42.680 --> 01:18:45.760 But I did just finish Judy's like main story yesterday 1530 01:18:45.760 --> 01:18:47.399 and I'm still thinking about it a lot, so I 1531 01:18:47.399 --> 01:18:49.880 could definitely probably go that way. 1532 01:18:50.920 --> 01:18:53.119 I think if Timoor was here, he'd be fighting very 1533 01:18:53.159 --> 01:18:53.840 hard for Earth. 1534 01:18:54.319 --> 01:18:55.119 I think you would too. 1535 01:18:55.640 --> 01:18:59.600 Earth is very good, but he's not here, So it's Judy. 1536 01:19:00.800 --> 01:19:01.560 I'm more than happy with. 1537 01:19:02.079 --> 01:19:04.079 Yeah, all right. 1538 01:19:04.119 --> 01:19:09.159 The next category is Best Protagonist. Nominees are Zagrias from Hades, 1539 01:19:09.880 --> 01:19:13.199 Alex from Half Life, Alex, Abby from the Last of 1540 01:19:13.279 --> 01:19:17.800 Us Part two, Ichi Bond from Like a Dragon, Miles 1541 01:19:17.840 --> 01:19:21.760 Morales from Spider Man Miles Morales, and Tyler and Allison 1542 01:19:21.840 --> 01:19:22.439 from Tell Me. 1543 01:19:22.520 --> 01:19:30.800 Why Well, we all know who number one is, baby. 1544 01:19:30.279 --> 01:19:33.319 Like, I can't argue he's number one number one name. 1545 01:19:33.479 --> 01:19:36.439 I feel like he wins on a technicality. I think 1546 01:19:36.439 --> 01:19:37.319 we just have to give it to each. 1547 01:19:37.399 --> 01:19:40.640 Bond Yeah, yeah, I would agree. 1548 01:19:41.359 --> 01:19:46.279 Probably be Abby, but I mean it's in the name, in. 1549 01:19:46.319 --> 01:19:52.319 His name, all right, ITCHI Bond Best Protagonist and the 1550 01:19:52.399 --> 01:19:52.960 last one. 1551 01:19:54.920 --> 01:20:00.119 The last category is the best game you played that 1552 01:20:00.279 --> 01:20:05.079 didn't come out this year. The nominees are Star Wars, 1553 01:20:05.199 --> 01:20:09.840 Jedi Fallen Order that was Man twenty eighteen that was 1554 01:20:09.880 --> 01:20:13.000 also me, Final Fantasy seven. 1555 01:20:13.079 --> 01:20:14.840 That was me, then two. 1556 01:20:16.239 --> 01:20:21.279 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Me. I played it, Stardoo Valley 1557 01:20:21.640 --> 01:20:27.680 that was me. Among us, I played it Persona three. 1558 01:20:27.920 --> 01:20:28.479 I played it. 1559 01:20:29.199 --> 01:20:29.880 You beat it? Yeah? 1560 01:20:29.920 --> 01:20:32.520 I beat it? 1561 01:20:32.560 --> 01:20:32.880 Is it? 1562 01:20:33.159 --> 01:20:35.960 I the Somnium files or AI the Somnium file. 1563 01:20:36.039 --> 01:20:38.479 You read it either way, it's it's not wrong. 1564 01:20:38.760 --> 01:20:43.720 Whatever the Somnium file. I did it near Automata. 1565 01:20:43.920 --> 01:20:44.640 I did it again. 1566 01:20:45.239 --> 01:20:49.560 Automatia, Automata, I Thinkdasa. 1567 01:20:50.560 --> 01:20:52.439 I think it's near Takamoto there. 1568 01:20:52.439 --> 01:21:03.399 It is. 1569 01:20:59.600 --> 01:21:04.640 Black and Dark Souls, so. 1570 01:21:04.680 --> 01:21:07.520 I put Black Mesa there kind of because it's the 1571 01:21:07.520 --> 01:21:10.119 first time I played Half Life one, but I played 1572 01:21:10.119 --> 01:21:11.880 Black Mesa, which did come out this year, so I 1573 01:21:11.880 --> 01:21:13.760 don't really know if that one counts, but I think that's. 1574 01:21:13.600 --> 01:21:15.840 A weird one. Play the game. It came out, but 1575 01:21:15.880 --> 01:21:19.960 it's been in early access for like five years, and yeah, 1576 01:21:20.039 --> 01:21:22.479 that's weird. It's very good though, if you haven't played it, 1577 01:21:22.640 --> 01:21:25.239 you should play Black Mesa. Yeah, really good. 1578 01:21:25.600 --> 01:21:28.279 This one's also a little weird because, like, not all 1579 01:21:28.319 --> 01:21:30.560 of us played these games this year, so it'd be 1580 01:21:30.600 --> 01:21:32.680 hard to come up with one in particular. So I 1581 01:21:32.720 --> 01:21:34.479 think we all can just yeah, we all can just 1582 01:21:34.520 --> 01:21:36.439 say the one that we added that we think is 1583 01:21:36.479 --> 01:21:41.680 the winner. Yeah, okay, I'm going with Dark Souls for sure. 1584 01:21:41.800 --> 01:21:43.479 I've been trying to get through that game for a 1585 01:21:43.680 --> 01:21:47.079 very long time. I started on three sixty, got the 1586 01:21:47.079 --> 01:21:50.039 blight Town stopped, and like, I've had so many tries 1587 01:21:50.079 --> 01:21:51.479 to get through that game, and I finally did it 1588 01:21:51.520 --> 01:21:53.159 this year and it was great. 1589 01:21:53.600 --> 01:21:53.920 Love it. 1590 01:21:54.600 --> 01:21:58.079 I'm gonna have to give it to Stardy Valley because 1591 01:21:58.119 --> 01:22:00.399 that's the only one I added to the list. But 1592 01:22:01.039 --> 01:22:04.640 Stardi Valley is just excellent. I regret not giving it 1593 01:22:04.640 --> 01:22:06.880 a higher score when I reviewed it way back when 1594 01:22:08.680 --> 01:22:11.560 it just got a massive update with like new options 1595 01:22:11.600 --> 01:22:15.760 on PC. So it just continues to live a wonderful 1596 01:22:15.920 --> 01:22:20.880 pastoral life. I love it so much, John Luke. 1597 01:22:22.760 --> 01:22:24.279 Even though I didn't play it and I didn't put 1598 01:22:24.319 --> 01:22:25.359 it on this list, I'm going to give it to 1599 01:22:25.359 --> 01:22:27.640 Persona three there go. I liked that came a lot. 1600 01:22:27.880 --> 01:22:31.079 It's a really good game. I've actually been thinking about 1601 01:22:31.720 --> 01:22:35.039 replaying it because I really really liked that. 1602 01:22:35.039 --> 01:22:35.279 Again. 1603 01:22:36.640 --> 01:22:38.760 Put it on Switch Yeah for real. 1604 01:22:38.680 --> 01:22:41.199 Yeah for real, Yeah for real. 1605 01:22:44.199 --> 01:22:46.079 I put a lot of games on here, but I 1606 01:22:46.119 --> 01:22:50.920 think for me the Finals Fantasy seven because I played 1607 01:22:50.960 --> 01:22:53.680 not just Final Fantasy seven but also everything around it, 1608 01:22:53.840 --> 01:22:56.399 and it was just a big like. It took a 1609 01:22:56.439 --> 01:22:58.439 lot of convincing to get me to actually go for 1610 01:22:58.520 --> 01:23:00.960 it and start it up, but once I did, I 1611 01:23:00.960 --> 01:23:04.319 played through the original, then I played through Crisis Core, 1612 01:23:04.359 --> 01:23:07.560 which is fantastic, and I played through Dirgias Servers, which 1613 01:23:07.600 --> 01:23:10.359 is not Other people like it, but I liked it. 1614 01:23:10.439 --> 01:23:12.359 And then I actually I even watched Advent Children and 1615 01:23:12.439 --> 01:23:14.840 actually enjoyed it, like I fell into. 1616 01:23:14.640 --> 01:23:15.600 It really bad. 1617 01:23:16.560 --> 01:23:19.720 So damn, I have a question for you, Ben Oh No, 1618 01:23:19.800 --> 01:23:22.880 I knew this is gonna come at some point. How 1619 01:23:22.920 --> 01:23:30.720 do you feel about Cloud in Super Smash Bros. Because 1620 01:23:31.399 --> 01:23:33.800 this was a sticking point for a very long time. 1621 01:23:34.119 --> 01:23:36.039 You said he did not deserve to be in Super 1622 01:23:36.039 --> 01:23:39.560 Smash Bros. Because he wasn't on an Nintendo console. How 1623 01:23:39.600 --> 01:23:41.800 do you feel about this now? I'm not trying to 1624 01:23:41.840 --> 01:23:44.640 like prove you wrong. I just I just want the 1625 01:23:44.680 --> 01:23:45.600 evolution here. 1626 01:23:45.439 --> 01:23:47.039 The whole the whole year. I was prepared for this 1627 01:23:47.199 --> 01:23:49.479 very moment. I was like as soon as I finished 1628 01:23:49.479 --> 01:23:50.960 fint A Fantasy seven and I'm like, this is a 1629 01:23:50.960 --> 01:23:54.600 great game. My life has changed. My flippant eyes have 1630 01:23:54.640 --> 01:23:55.760 been opened for the first time. 1631 01:23:55.840 --> 01:23:58.000 You can't run off the edge with him anymore, right, Yeah, I. 1632 01:23:57.960 --> 01:23:59.560 Can't run off the edge with him anymore because I 1633 01:23:59.600 --> 01:24:02.239 understand him well. I still think Cloud himself is not 1634 01:24:02.319 --> 01:24:04.640 as good as like half of the other Final Fantasy 1635 01:24:04.680 --> 01:24:08.560 characters that I've I've run into and met. But uh, 1636 01:24:09.359 --> 01:24:11.840 I played it specifically on Switch just to kind of 1637 01:24:11.920 --> 01:24:17.560 like together and and and do that but uh he 1638 01:24:17.760 --> 01:24:20.119 was still the first character in Smash that broke down 1639 01:24:20.159 --> 01:24:21.840 that barrier of like there are no rules now you 1640 01:24:21.840 --> 01:24:25.279 can have anyone from anything, like he was in Theorism. 1641 01:24:25.319 --> 01:24:30.840 But that's not even like. 1642 01:24:28.640 --> 01:24:29.800 He paved the way for Joker. 1643 01:24:29.920 --> 01:24:32.960 He did. He really did. Joker is still only in 1644 01:24:33.199 --> 01:24:40.000 also one weird spinoff game too, But uh yeah, I 1645 01:24:40.000 --> 01:24:42.800 I've played with him a bunch in this year and Smash, 1646 01:24:42.840 --> 01:24:45.600 and I was actually I got really excited about Sepharroth 1647 01:24:45.680 --> 01:24:48.000 being put in, which was dumb and stupid. 1648 01:24:48.239 --> 01:24:50.119 Wow that's the character. 1649 01:24:52.279 --> 01:24:53.399 Did you do the cannon fight? 1650 01:24:53.680 --> 01:24:55.479 Did you beat SEP's cloud? 1651 01:24:55.560 --> 01:24:55.720 Oh? 1652 01:24:55.800 --> 01:24:57.800 I went in with a snake because I hadn't played 1653 01:24:57.760 --> 01:25:01.039 them while, so I was really rusty. But like eat 1654 01:25:01.079 --> 01:25:05.119 my grenades, separate U C four over here, grenades over here, 1655 01:25:05.159 --> 01:25:09.239 cardboard boxes everywhere. But uh yeah, no, it definitely was 1656 01:25:09.439 --> 01:25:14.479 a wacky character arc and I still think about it 1657 01:25:14.560 --> 01:25:17.600 every day and I feel I feel silly for what 1658 01:25:17.640 --> 01:25:20.479 I did in the past, and I like to throw 1659 01:25:20.600 --> 01:25:25.119 me all now. I'll still run him off the control 1660 01:25:25.199 --> 01:25:29.439 times sake, though, just because he deserves it every now 1661 01:25:29.479 --> 01:25:34.199 and now he does. He's a jerk, you know, Zach's 1662 01:25:34.199 --> 01:25:39.079 a better protagonist than Cloud anyway, So that's where I am. 1663 01:25:39.119 --> 01:25:39.399 Well. 1664 01:25:39.840 --> 01:25:43.199 On that note, we should probably wrap up episode seventy 1665 01:25:43.239 --> 01:25:46.000 four of Games But after Dark, the first episode of 1666 01:25:46.039 --> 01:25:49.439 twenty twenty one. Anyway, thank you all for listening the 1667 01:25:49.479 --> 01:25:51.960 past year and a half or so. We're very excited 1668 01:25:52.000 --> 01:25:54.119 to keep this train going and we haven't missed a 1669 01:25:54.119 --> 01:25:56.800 week yet. Don't plan on missing week for the rest 1670 01:25:56.800 --> 01:25:57.239 of time. 1671 01:25:58.359 --> 01:26:02.119 That's a long time. It is a long time, it is, 1672 01:26:02.279 --> 01:26:04.399 but you know, gotta do it. 1673 01:26:05.000 --> 01:26:06.000 Yeah. 1674 01:26:06.039 --> 01:26:09.880 Anyway, Jean Luke, where can people find you? And what 1675 01:26:09.960 --> 01:26:12.279 do you plan on playing over break? 1676 01:26:13.000 --> 01:26:13.159 Uh? 1677 01:26:13.880 --> 01:26:17.640 I'm gonna play. Oh, I don't know. I've been going 1678 01:26:17.680 --> 01:26:21.239 back and forth. I want to finish Cyberpunk. I also 1679 01:26:21.560 --> 01:26:25.399 want to finally do a Witcher run with Georgia. Been 1680 01:26:25.439 --> 01:26:27.399 meaning to play that, so I think that would be 1681 01:26:27.439 --> 01:26:31.079 a fun one to do over the break. But yeah, 1682 01:26:31.079 --> 01:26:33.960 you can find me on Twitter. It should definitely be 1683 01:26:34.000 --> 01:26:35.840 up at this point. But please go check out our 1684 01:26:36.560 --> 01:26:39.920 top ten Games of twenty twenty video over on our 1685 01:26:39.960 --> 01:26:44.239 YouTube channel. It's a video that I put it together, 1686 01:26:44.319 --> 01:26:48.600 but like it's a collaborative video that everyone worked on, so, like, 1687 01:26:49.039 --> 01:26:51.800 you know, everyone from editorial in video each got to 1688 01:26:51.840 --> 01:26:54.159 talk about a game they really loves, Like how I 1689 01:26:54.159 --> 01:26:56.279 gotta talk about Animal Crossing ja I got to talk 1690 01:26:56.279 --> 01:26:59.520 about demon souls and so on, And on top of that, 1691 01:26:59.640 --> 01:27:03.399 every one on the video team both edits that section 1692 01:27:03.640 --> 01:27:05.720 and then does their own montage for it. So it's 1693 01:27:05.760 --> 01:27:08.159 like this really cool video that's kind of like the 1694 01:27:08.159 --> 01:27:12.880 culmination of the hard work of everyone at game Spot. 1695 01:27:13.119 --> 01:27:15.079 So I love working on that video.

And I want to finish Half 1720 01:28:35.039 --> 01:28:38.479 Life Alex at some point because I also kind of 1721 01:28:38.560 --> 01:28:42.359 got sidetracked on that as well. But yeah, maybe maybe 1722 01:28:42.399 --> 01:28:44.479 the last bit of dragon Quest too, because that game's 1723 01:28:44.479 --> 01:28:45.800 got like a forty hour posting.

I'm very close to finishing 1727 01:28:59.359 --> 01:29:01.439 that game and have yet to do that. I'm playing 1728 01:29:01.479 --> 01:29:03.439 it on Switch and part of me is like, I 1729 01:29:03.520 --> 01:29:05.640 don't want to play it on Series X though, because 1730 01:29:05.640 --> 01:29:07.479 it just came and it's free with game past.

Well it's not too hard, 1740 01:29:36.640 --> 01:29:39.199 but it's too hard for me because I'm just a 1741 01:29:39.239 --> 01:29:41.399 game journalist and I'm not good at video games, so 1742 01:29:42.119 --> 01:29:47.920 you know how it goes.
