I think 8 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:21,839 I feel like I'm. 9 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 3: In full of veins though I feel undefeated and yet 10 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,920 defeated at the same time. Maybe I'll go into that 11 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,079 once we get there, but now I'm excited to be here. 12 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,760 This has been I feel like I messaged you sometime 13 00:00:30,839 --> 00:00:32,560 last week and I'm just like, man, I can't wait 14 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:33,399 to get on the side Quest. 15 00:00:33,399 --> 00:00:34,759 Speaker 4: I feel like I have so much to talk about. 16 00:00:34,799 --> 00:00:37,119 Speaker 3: And it's kind of funny how that happens, where sometimes 17 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,039 I'll be like leading into you know, we record these 18 00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:42,520 on Mondays. It's just like I'm leaning into that. I'm like, 19 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:43,679 I have so much to talk about. I check the 20 00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:45,880 schedules like, oh, I'm not even on until next week, 21 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,520 of course, and then sometimes it's the opposite where it's like, oh, 22 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,119 I'm on this week, but I haven't been playing anything, 23 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,799 so kind of ebbs and flows that way. 24 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,359 Speaker 4: But now I'm very excited to be here. 25 00:00:53,799 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: Now I'm glad that it works out that way, because, Yeah, 26 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,920 sometimes on side Quest, it's even like a day of 27 00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:00,679 or the day before, I'm like, there's an no news, 28 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,799 I haven't really been playing new things, there's no new 29 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,120 game release, like I just kind of scrambled to come 30 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,560 up with something for the topic. Then there's weeks like 31 00:01:07,599 --> 00:01:09,079 this where it's great that you had a bunch of 32 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,239 things you want to talk about, and my two most 33 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,920 anticipated games of like this whole year came out the 34 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,400 same day, so you're you're getting like best best mood, 35 00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:21,560 Dylan you can possibly have, where I'm just feasting on 36 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,040 games that I have been just craving for for so 37 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,640 long at this point. So it's gonna be a fun episode. 38 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,640 It's really just a games we've been playing episode. We're 39 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,000 talking about the Plucky Squire, we're talking about you have 40 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,519 about fifty, and then Kirkland has some mystery. He always 41 00:01:33,519 --> 00:01:35,719 like likes to leave it like a nice mystery game segment, 42 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,359 So I don't know what he's can talk about, but 43 00:01:37,799 --> 00:01:40,640 we'll have some other stuff in there. So yeah, we're 44 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,319 just gonna get ri into it. We'll do some loose 45 00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:45,319 some plugs later on, but I want to start with 46 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,640 this one. So Ufo fifty is a game that I 47 00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:53,040 swear was announced in like twenty nineteen or something, and 48 00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:55,799 then it has just been waiting in the wings. And 49 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,359 I think part of the reason for that is because 50 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,959 it's a it's a culmination of many different game developers 51 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,439 who were kind of just working on their own little 52 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,480 things and kind of made it to one big collection. 53 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: So I think that's why it took so long. 54 00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:09,599 Speaker 1: It's because for a bit there, you know, one of 55 00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:11,439 the developers on this game is the great Derek you 56 00:02:11,479 --> 00:02:13,759 who I love so much, who is the creative for Splunky, 57 00:02:14,039 --> 00:02:16,240 and obviously he had to go ahead and release Splunky too, 58 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,599 and a billion updates for that game, all these patches 59 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,560 and stuff, so he was obviously busy. 60 00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:21,599 Speaker 2: For a while, which delays the game. 61 00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:23,719 Speaker 1: And you factor them with multiple developers who are all 62 00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:26,400 doing their own thing, that kind of tends to happen. 63 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,120 But for anyone who forgets what UFO fifty, as I've 64 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,039 mentioned it a few times on side Quest, but it 65 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,840 is a game that I feel like has not been 66 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,199 like had I had a trailer at a big showcase, 67 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,400 and so it might be going under some people's radars. 68 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,840 UFO fifty is a collection of fifty games, as I said, 69 00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:43,560 made by kind of like a little dream team of 70 00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:47,360 indie game developers there, and they kind of framing of it. 71 00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:50,400 The narrative overarching element, I guess you could say, is 72 00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:52,960 that they kind of framed as like this is in 73 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000 an alternate timeline. There was this company in the eighties 74 00:02:56,039 --> 00:02:58,840 called Ufosoft who made a bunch of games like kind 75 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,879 of in the nessn Yes era. But obviously in our 76 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,400 timeline those games never existed. So this is like a collection, 77 00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:07,159 and we get in so many these modern day collections, 78 00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:09,240 you know, the Marvel first Capcom collection just came out. 79 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,759 This is like a modern collection, but for a bunch 80 00:03:11,759 --> 00:03:13,759 of games that never actually existed. It's kind of just 81 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,280 this imaginary world. And so yeah, it's fifty games in one. 82 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,319 There's no weird micro transactions. They're all unlocked from the beginning. 83 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,759 You just you buy the game for thirty bucks, you 84 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,159 get fifty games. Fucking have ad or do whatever you 85 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,960 want with this. This is your piece of you know, 86 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,560 this is your game now. You can play it however 87 00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:33,360 you want. And I think that's one of my favorite 88 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,039 things about it is there's just one. 89 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 2: It's like it's so cheap. 90 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: Man, Like, if you enjoyed half of these games, then 91 00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:41,639 what is that You're playing like fifty cents per game, 92 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,639 you know, like whatever, Like you're getting an insane value here. 93 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,840 And yeah, so I've played a bunch of this game 94 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,240 over the weekend, but I also wasn't split between Plucky 95 00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:51,319 Squire and playing a bunch more Elden Rings, So I've 96 00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:53,680 only played so much of it so far. But man, 97 00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:57,479 right off the bat, I fucking love this game. This 98 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,919 is this is a weird one in terms of expectation 99 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,599 because you know, it's fifty games. So I'm like, okay, 100 00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:05,280 these games, you know they're gonna be these and they're 101 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,560 gonna be fun sort of games. But like, these are 102 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,520 not mini games or micro games. Like these are full 103 00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:12,199 length games. They all have their own title card, they 104 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,680 all have their own credit sequence. Some of them take 105 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,560 hours and hours to some of them are a bit shorter, 106 00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:18,720 some of them are like, you know, one of them 107 00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:21,360 is like a two D plaf or two D fighting game, 108 00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:23,480 so obviously you can do a bunch of battles, or 109 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,199 you can just play once and you know, never play 110 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,360 it again kind of thing, And so it's like it's 111 00:04:27,399 --> 00:04:30,120 pretty expansive. And also like, Okay, I knew Derek you 112 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,279 was somewhat involved, but also there's a lot of games 113 00:04:32,319 --> 00:04:33,639 not developed by him, so it's like I didn't I 114 00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:36,279 didn't really know what to expect going in, and that's 115 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,519 why I'm just like blown away so far. And I've 116 00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:40,959 only played like maybe twelve of the games, and I've 117 00:04:40,959 --> 00:04:43,319 only beat one of them at this point in time. 118 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,600 So it just goes to show, like, man, I cannot 119 00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:49,959 wait to keep exploring this collection even more. As I mentioned, 120 00:04:49,959 --> 00:04:53,519 they're kind of set up as neys type games. That's 121 00:04:53,519 --> 00:04:57,199 in like the graphical fidelity of them, but also like 122 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,279 a bit in the design ethos. But obviously forty years 123 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,879 have passed since those days, and developers have learned a 124 00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:04,720 lot of lessons. They're better at game design, and they 125 00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:06,560 can learn from games from the past, and so I 126 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,759 feel like even like the simplest games, which would like 127 00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:10,439 one of these games in here is pretty much just 128 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,920 like if Ice Climbers was actually a fun game to 129 00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:14,639 play in the year twenty twenty four. 130 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 2: And it's just that. 131 00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:17,439 Speaker 1: But I have been addicted to it, and I've you know, 132 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,519 gone back and played some Ice Climbers on Nintendo Switch Online, 133 00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:23,079 Like that game fucking sucks. It's not fun to play. 134 00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:25,680 It's really planned. There's not a lot to it, and 135 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,240 so it's like, yeah, I'd rather play just like a 136 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:28,839 modern version of that. And there's quite a few of 137 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,199 that in here, Like there's one of these games. It's 138 00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:32,720 just like what if Splatoon was like kind of made 139 00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:34,560 on the nes. It feels kind of like that. It's 140 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,879 a different art style and stuff. But I think also 141 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,680 one thing that's and I known going over the place, 142 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,000 but it's hard to talk about this game in like 143 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,279 a linear way because it's just I think one thing 144 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,199 that I'm really happy with about it and I didn't 145 00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:49,439 really expect, is that it is very cohesive, even though 146 00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:51,040 and once again I haven't played all fifty games, so 147 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,120 I'm only just speaking for my experience so far. But 148 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,959 there's a lot of ways that's very cohesive. One is 149 00:05:54,959 --> 00:05:57,000 that it's like, you know, all the developers here are 150 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,319 making multiple games, are working on each other's games, they're 151 00:05:59,319 --> 00:06:02,279 play testing each games. You might have Eric Sirk, who's 152 00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:06,199 a composer did Splunky soundtrack. He's composing multiple games, so 153 00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:08,319 there's a lot of things that tie them together. They 154 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,439 also use like a very specific color palette, so every 155 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,480 game in here uses like the same I forget if 156 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,800 it's sixteen or thirty two colors, like they they went 157 00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:21,160 with that specific palette and all games bound are bound 158 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,040 to that. So it feels very cohesive in that way. 159 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,680 And then there's even like continuity between games in here, 160 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,519 like some of the games are sequels to each other, 161 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,759 but none of them are just like okay, they just 162 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,160 chopped up the games levels and like doled out as sequels. 163 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,480 Like they're all very they're pretty much like the same 164 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,360 general idea, like what's the core concept of the game, 165 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,079 but it plays completely differently. And some of the sequels 166 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,839 are made by different people too, so they're not really 167 00:06:43,879 --> 00:06:45,680 just it's not like they're cheaping out on like the 168 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,560 fifty games, Like you're getting fifty games in here, even 169 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:49,319 though they don't need to. 170 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,759 Speaker 2: You know, they could have cheaped out on five to 171 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,680 ten of them. Again, maybe they have. 172 00:06:52,759 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: I haven't played all the games yet, but but they 173 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,360 haven't so far, so I am just in. 174 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 2: Love with it. You know, you're getting roguelikes in here, platformers, 175 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,360 you're getting puzzle games, you're getting racing games, fighting games, 176 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,759 you're getting games I don't even know what you would 177 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,160 call the genre of, Like there's just some freakish things 178 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:08,519 in there. 179 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: So it's just amazing, Like, everyone, go buy this game. 180 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,920 I'm sure you'll find some stuff in here that you're 181 00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:17,079 into a lot of. It has coach co op stuff 182 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,639 as well, So I'd love to get this set up 183 00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:22,000 on our twenty four hour stream and play some of 184 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,959 these games together. Like them is kind of like Dodgeball, 185 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,199 but like with hacky Sacks instead, so like the physics 186 00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:31,240 are really wonky, and you can like bank hacky sacks 187 00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:33,680 off other hacky sacks and like clip and the enemies 188 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,240 and get special abilities that it feels very like a 189 00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:39,199 Mario Tennis kind of thing and the energy there, so 190 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,839 that's pretty cool as well. I think maybe if I 191 00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:43,839 did have one criticism of this game, it's that there 192 00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:46,839 is an online multiplayer. It's only split screen, you know, 193 00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:49,720 if we're really being specific with it, Like, Okay, the 194 00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:52,759 games at that time in the eighties were obviously limited 195 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,720 to split screen multiplayer, but you know, I think that 196 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,240 that's something they should have maybe spring to have in here. 197 00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:00,000 I understand that it can be very difficult when you're 198 00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:02,680 making fifty games like to make that work with all 199 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,560 these different games can be difficult, but it's something that 200 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,319 would have been nice. Who knows, maybe down the road, 201 00:08:07,519 --> 00:08:09,160 I'm not I'm not holding out for it. 202 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,759 Speaker 2: So yeah, this this game is just unreal. 203 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: I think part of the joy for me is just 204 00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:18,680 exploring the catalog and deciding what's what am I in 205 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,160 a mood for. Do I want to play a puzzle 206 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,480 game right now? Do I just want to turn my 207 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,600 brain off and do some fun platforming? And so I 208 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,439 might jump into a game and be like, this is 209 00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:27,959 not my mood right now. I'll come back to this 210 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,519 one later. And that's why I've only played a handful 211 00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:32,440 of the game so far, is because so far that's 212 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,360 been the case, where I jump into a game, maybe 213 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,000 I'm confused at first. I play for a little bit, 214 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:36,960 then I'm like, you know what, I'm not gonna go 215 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,080 play this other game that I'm really enjoying, and then 216 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,039 I'll like come back to it later and really discover 217 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,840 what's interesting about it. And now these games have like 218 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,159 tutorials either, so you're kind of just thrown in there. 219 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,039 You can pause and see like the buttons, but like 220 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,759 you're kind of just thrown in there. So some of 221 00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:50,720 them are obviously a little more straightforward than others in 222 00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:54,320 that way. But yeah, let's let me just highlight a 223 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,080 few of my I guess favorite games in here are 224 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,120 some ones that I'm really enjoying so far. So the 225 00:08:59,159 --> 00:09:02,919 first one I jump too, unsurprisingly is this game called 226 00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:05,960 Pilot Quest, because the character of pilot Quest is a 227 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,840 guy named Pilot who's a character from Splunkie two. He's 228 00:09:08,879 --> 00:09:10,960 just one of the playoff characters there, and then they've 229 00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:13,639 kind of made him like the mascot like ufosaft, like 230 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,360 he flies around in a UFO and that's like the 231 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,639 branding is largely based off him, and he appears in 232 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,200 multiple games, which is just amazing because that is also 233 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,360 that has been forever my main character in Splunky two. 234 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,320 Is the fact that he's randomly like the protagonist a 235 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,799 bunch of other games is really fun for me, and 236 00:09:30,799 --> 00:09:32,639 I'm kind of breaking down like the lower of like. 237 00:09:32,879 --> 00:09:34,919 Speaker 2: What does this mean? Like do these games take place 238 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,159 in the Spluggy universe? 239 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: And like, I don't think they really thought about that stuff, 240 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,720 but for me, it's just like a fun bonus. But yeah, 241 00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:42,919 pilot Quest ended up being kind of the perfect game 242 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,639 to play first because Kirkland, have you ever played like 243 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,279 a like an idol game or like a clicker game? 244 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:51,519 Speaker 2: Are you familiar with those games? 245 00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:55,279 Speaker 3: All? Yeah, I mean I think it's funny. I'm pretty 246 00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:58,039 sure there's one called Idle Heroes and one called Clicker Heroes, 247 00:09:58,039 --> 00:10:01,879 and I've played one of or if both, but no, 248 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,240 Clicker Heroes was a big one. I feel like around 249 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,600 high school time, I had my one friend his like 250 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,120 most played game on Steam is Clicker Heroes just because 251 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,840 he like sets it up so he never even has 252 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,320 to interact with it. But yes, I'm aware of those. Yeah. 253 00:10:14,799 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: I remember playing one back in high school called Tiny Tower, 254 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,799 which was like a great phone game where you were 255 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,240 just building this insane tower and adding like residential suites 256 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,720 for people, and then you get different restaurants and like 257 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,039 build an arcade and literally all you do is like 258 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,000 go on the game and like re stock shelves by 259 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000 clicking on things, and then like you know, it takes 260 00:10:33,039 --> 00:10:34,960 eight hours in real train for that. 261 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:35,799 Speaker 2: Thing to regenerate. 262 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: So it's kind of that idea, and pilot Quest is 263 00:10:38,519 --> 00:10:40,240 kind of that a little bit at the start. It's 264 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,320 kind of a clicker where you have your yo yo 265 00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:44,679 and there's a little crystal and you smash the crystal 266 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,080 and crystals come out and you pick them up, and 267 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,480 then eventually you like buy a thing, buy a seed 268 00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:52,440 that generates crystals over time. And I was like, that's 269 00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:55,000 kind of a weird idea, but I'm kind of into it. 270 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,799 And then I think where it kind of clicked for 271 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,919 me is that all that stuff happens while you're outside 272 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,399 pilot Quest. So while you're playing other games in the collection, 273 00:11:02,799 --> 00:11:05,360 you're building up crystals in pilot Quest. So when you 274 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,679 come back to it, okay, shit, I have a ton 275 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:08,320 of resources. 276 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,759 Speaker 2: Now I can go do a few more things. 277 00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: And so that's one that I play pilot Quest for 278 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,159 twenty minutes, I go play other games for like a 279 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,960 couple hours, come back to pilot Quest, play for twenty minutes, 280 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,080 and I keep coming back and forth, and I'm so 281 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,039 curious to see what other kind of meta games there 282 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,679 are in this collection, and that that really just does 283 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,159 happen to be the perfect game to pick up first 284 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,120 in this collection because I can just get start building 285 00:11:29,159 --> 00:11:31,200 up those things right away. So it just worked out 286 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,559 perfectly in that way. But on top of that building 287 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,320 out your whole base, and whennot you're you know, going 288 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,440 take out dungeons and exploring and you're having to repair 289 00:11:38,519 --> 00:11:39,960 your ship and all that. So it's just a fun 290 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,600 game on the side, but like the weird clicker element 291 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,679 to it and the idle game element to it is 292 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,080 is like an interesting twist on it, but that makes 293 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,600 it really interesting. Another one that is just so wild. 294 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,759 I don't even know how to describe the genre of it. 295 00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:57,720 It's called Party House, and the objective of the game 296 00:11:57,759 --> 00:12:00,440 is just like pretty much just throw the perfect party. 297 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,039 There's different scenarios and so you're trying to build up 298 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,440 both your popularity and your cash so that you can 299 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,240 like buy things that make the party better and buy 300 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,080 a bigger house, and then popularity so that you can 301 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,879 you know, get more and better and more interesting people 302 00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:16,320 at your party. And there's I just love the names 303 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,080 of everything in here. Like you have essentially like opening 304 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,600 a door and you're letting one person in and then 305 00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:24,240 you can decide, Okay, do I want to let another 306 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,559 person in because they could be a bad person or 307 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,759 a good person. And then you decide when the party 308 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,519 is over, either you've filled up the house completely and 309 00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:34,679 you're good to go, or you're taking that risk door 310 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,440 by door and so everyone's in a while. Like they're 311 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,279 called wild buddies, and a wild buddy will enter your 312 00:12:40,279 --> 00:12:42,879 house and they're just fucking rowdy. They're just trashing the place. 313 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,919 And if you get too many wild buddies, the cops 314 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,360 show up and then you just you don't get any resources. 315 00:12:47,399 --> 00:12:49,840 So that's like the main thing is you're trying to like, Okay, 316 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,320 I can't if I'm risking if I open this door 317 00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:54,840 and there's a wild buddy there, then there's so many 318 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,759 ways that it expands on that where one of the 319 00:12:56,799 --> 00:12:58,600 guests you can have is just a dog, and the 320 00:12:58,639 --> 00:13:00,600 dog will spot who the next person that the door is, 321 00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:02,360 so you can see, oh, maybe it's a wild buddy, 322 00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:04,320 so I know I'm not gonna let them in. You 323 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,039 can like get police officers in or like security guards 324 00:13:08,039 --> 00:13:09,519 and like kick out wild buddies. 325 00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 2: I love too. 326 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: You can get you can invite hippies to your party, 327 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,000 and hippies will balance out the wild buddy. They kind 328 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,879 of bounce with the flow of the party. You can 329 00:13:17,879 --> 00:13:20,720 get like auctioneers and like DJs and dancers and like 330 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,159 all this crazy stuff and yeah, like this. So there's 331 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,600 different scenarios, different wind conditions, but for the most part, 332 00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:28,440 you're just trying to optimize the money variable of it 333 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,960 with like the popularity and I'm still trying to figure out. 334 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,720 I haven't beat a run of it yet, but it's 335 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,639 just like such a weird, funny idea. The art is hilarious, 336 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,080 and I just love the naming convention of everyone. It's 337 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,480 so it's such a funny, weird little game in there 338 00:13:42,519 --> 00:13:44,679 that I never would have thought of. But it's also 339 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,039 so simple, like not to bragg or anything. I feel 340 00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:50,240 like I could program that game in like a month, 341 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,159 Like it's very. 342 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 2: Simple, but it's super fun. 343 00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: And I feel like that's just everything in here is 344 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,440 so well designed, even if it's just like the most 345 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,480 basic of platform or it's just super fun to play. 346 00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:02,960 And that's why I'm just like addicted to this game totally. 347 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems like a great resource for just like 348 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,600 inspiration even just being a game developer, right because you're 349 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,000 getting so much different games with different mechanics and different 350 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,519 little interactions among themselves in a game you know that 351 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,519 has fifty and as you already stated, like you're what 352 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,600 twelve games into a pack of fifty. 353 00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 4: That's awesome. 354 00:14:21,679 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's just like as I mentioned with 355 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,919 Ice Climbers, and that's the case for so many games 356 00:14:25,919 --> 00:14:27,720 when I go back and play them on any like 357 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,240 Nintendo Switch Online, Like man, these games do. 358 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 2: Not hold up there very fun. 359 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: A lot of them do typically ship with a manual 360 00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:35,360 back in the day, and if you don't have the manual, 361 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,600 it makes the game like impossible to understand. Of course, 362 00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:40,879 that's like one level of disconnect there. But it's like 363 00:14:40,919 --> 00:14:43,559 even the original Mario Bros. I don't really like that game, 364 00:14:43,559 --> 00:14:46,120 the original couple Zelda games, they're not really for me. 365 00:14:46,159 --> 00:14:48,000 I don't really find them that enjoyable. And so I 366 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,360 just think it's cool that, like, okay, what it would 367 00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:52,000 be like to make a modern game that as using 368 00:14:52,519 --> 00:14:55,519 those limitations but with modern sensibilities, and it's like, oh yeah. 369 00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:57,759 The result is that you get really really fun games 370 00:14:57,759 --> 00:14:59,519 that are very simple, because like, if you don't need 371 00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:04,080 much for a game to be a hoot. Another game 372 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,000 that I really want to do show up because. 373 00:15:05,799 --> 00:15:07,039 Speaker 2: I think you will particularly like. 374 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: This is a game called more Toll and the basic 375 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,720 ideas it's weird. It's a two D platformer, kind of 376 00:15:12,759 --> 00:15:14,759 puzzle platform where you're going from left to right trying 377 00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:17,080 to just get to the exit. And when I as 378 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,240 soon as I hopped in, the most striking thing to 379 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,000 me was that I had twenty lives. I'm like, what 380 00:15:21,159 --> 00:15:23,759 kind of platformer gives you twenty lives? Is this game 381 00:15:23,879 --> 00:15:27,279 just incredibly difficult? What's going on here? But it's because 382 00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:30,679 with every time you die, you know another guy respawns down, 383 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,240 and it's kind of contextualizes that it's not you respawning, 384 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,200 it's like different guys. Like you have twenty people overall, 385 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,600 and there's it's pretty simple. You move back and forth, 386 00:15:38,639 --> 00:15:41,080 you jump, and then there's three abilities you have. One 387 00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:43,279 is you can turn into a rock kind of like 388 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,080 Kirby's down Beat and smash. One is you can just 389 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,960 self destruct, so you blow up blocks and other things, 390 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,639 but you die in the process. Yeah, And then the 391 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,480 third one is you just like turn yourself into a 392 00:15:52,519 --> 00:15:56,000 fucking dart and fly horizontally across the stage and you 393 00:15:56,039 --> 00:15:58,519 like stab into walls and then you can like jump 394 00:15:58,559 --> 00:15:59,639 on that guy's body, so. 395 00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 2: They but it's like a pigman like game where you're using. 396 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: Each other's bodies and like you know, blowing up blocks 397 00:16:06,039 --> 00:16:08,080 with one guy so that the next guy can walk through. 398 00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 2: And so it's kind of yeah, it's kind of like 399 00:16:10,039 --> 00:16:11,080 that idea. 400 00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:12,919 Speaker 1: But then the cool thing that ties it all together 401 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,399 is there's like ten levels in the game, so not 402 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,879 too many, but the idea is you're trying to replay 403 00:16:17,919 --> 00:16:19,759 it and almost like golf, like get your score down. 404 00:16:19,799 --> 00:16:22,360 You're trying to get like really optimize your runs. Because 405 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,440 once you go through that first level with twenty guys, 406 00:16:24,879 --> 00:16:27,279 if I burned, let's you can gain guys, you can 407 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,360 lose guys. But let's say overall ended with twelve guys 408 00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:32,080 left it at the end of the level. Now for 409 00:16:32,159 --> 00:16:35,320 level two, I only have twelve guys, and so that's 410 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,000 where the freaking seafood angle of it comes in. As 411 00:16:38,039 --> 00:16:40,080 you get further in, you're going back to earlier levels 412 00:16:40,159 --> 00:16:42,679 optimizing the way you're playing, try and decide, oh, how 413 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,000 can I get all these bonus lives and minimize the 414 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,759 ones I'm losing, and then just execute until you have 415 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,919 so many bonus guys for the later levels, and then 416 00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:50,639 the final boss. 417 00:16:50,679 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 2: You just need fucking bodies everywhere. You gotta just sat. 418 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: You can't gaining their lives. You just got to sacrifice 419 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,120 a ton of people. So that's kind of where the 420 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,919 challenge comes in. So it's just like that's and borrowing 421 00:17:00,919 --> 00:17:03,440 that little piece from Seafoo, it was like, yeah, totally 422 00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:06,480 changed everything about it into just this totally genius game. 423 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,319 And I had just I was just I couldn't stop 424 00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:09,880 playing that game until I paid it. I was like, 425 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,680 I have so many other games in this collection checkout, 426 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,440 but I'm beating the hell out of this game because 427 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,559 I love the idea and there's a sequel to it 428 00:17:15,559 --> 00:17:17,759 in the collection, so I can't even wait to go 429 00:17:17,799 --> 00:17:20,319 see how like it changes up that formula using that 430 00:17:20,799 --> 00:17:24,039 general idea. So yeah, that game is is absolutely sick. 431 00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 2: And on top of that, to it a. 432 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: Lair I really like to it is whenever there's enemies 433 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,240 all throw the level, you know, if they hit you, 434 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,480 you die, so you just lose a guy. 435 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:32,759 Speaker 2: That's that's not ideal. 436 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,599 Speaker 1: But if you if you blow up and kill an enemy, 437 00:17:36,839 --> 00:17:39,400 every time you kill three enemies, you get a bonus life. 438 00:17:39,559 --> 00:17:41,559 So as you're going through this level planning at your 439 00:17:41,599 --> 00:17:44,079 roote trying to optimize it, you're also looking at like, okay, 440 00:17:44,079 --> 00:17:46,119 how can I blow up these blocks and also maybe 441 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,920 take out an enemy or two as well, And so 442 00:17:48,039 --> 00:17:50,720 just the speed run like route planning. 443 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 2: Of it is. 444 00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so satisfying. So once again, super simple game, 445 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,000 Like I think it took me two hours maybe to 446 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,599 get that first complete. But then each game has like 447 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,799 a gold rating when you like roll credits on it essentially, 448 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,599 but then there's also you can get a cherry in 449 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,200 each one, so if you that's like a super difficult goal. 450 00:18:08,279 --> 00:18:10,359 So now I gotta beat the game with like seventy 451 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:11,960 five people remain. I don't even know what the hell 452 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,119 I'm gonna do that. I play perfect on like every level, 453 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,599 So there's additional kind of tiers of challenge if you 454 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,519 really want to get super deep in the weeds, which 455 00:18:19,559 --> 00:18:21,079 maybe I will over time, but right now I'm just 456 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,519 gonna kind of, you know. 457 00:18:22,519 --> 00:18:24,319 Speaker 2: Share the load a little bit and check out about 458 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:25,240 these different games. 459 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,759 Speaker 4: That's awesome. What are you playing it on? 460 00:18:27,319 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 2: I'm playing it. It's only on Steam right now. 461 00:18:29,039 --> 00:18:33,079 Speaker 1: Actually, Okay, so I imagine this game would be hard 462 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,599 to port just because of how many different games are 463 00:18:35,599 --> 00:18:38,759 in here, Like I've found a couple bugs in here, 464 00:18:38,759 --> 00:18:40,480 which it makes sense, you know, how are you gonna 465 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:41,039 play tests? 466 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,559 Speaker 2: Play test? A one game is hard? I can tell 467 00:18:43,559 --> 00:18:46,359 you that from making one simple game of Potion problem, 468 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,680 but making fifty all at once, where. 469 00:18:48,519 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: People could be doing things in different orders, playing games 470 00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:54,240 in different ways. Like, yeah, it's so, I've I've found 471 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,160 a couple bugs. Nothing like too crazy, but yeah, definitely that. 472 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,799 I this game is gonna be an absolute hit on 473 00:19:01,039 --> 00:19:04,000 the Switch though. It's gonna be perfect for that, like 474 00:19:04,079 --> 00:19:06,440 when it comes out, just in terms of like having 475 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,440 it on the go and checking out these different games 476 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,759 for different moments. And the coach co op I think 477 00:19:10,839 --> 00:19:12,839 is gonna be a great angle for the Switch, So 478 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,720 I'm looking forward to that.

And because you don't have 483 00:19:23,519 --> 00:19:25,720 to lock the things again, you're good to go right 484 00:19:25,759 --> 00:19:28,079 from scratch. You can just jump right in and play 485 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,720 whatever games you most want to play. 486 00:19:29,559 --> 00:19:30,079 Speaker 2: In that moment. 487 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's awesome. I like that it takes the 488 00:19:32,759 --> 00:19:34,799 best parts of those old retro games. You know, you 489 00:19:34,839 --> 00:19:36,400 buy and you get what you get. You don't have 490 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,319 to fucking beat the game to unlock another level or 491 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:39,839 something like that. 492 00:19:39,839 --> 00:19:41,039 Speaker 4: You can kind of go wherever you want. 493 00:19:41,079 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 3: And yeah, I do like the idea of them keeping 494 00:19:43,279 --> 00:19:45,319 like the same color palette across the whole board to 495 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,759 just unify the whole thing. And like, I imagine the 496 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,319 art style of different games is still very different, but 497 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,079 the palette is still like it makes it kind of 498 00:19:54,319 --> 00:19:56,640 feel it's like it's in the same realm.

So yeah, I think 727 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,000 I just kind of I think I'm at the point 728 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,880 where I'm getting a little like I've done all the exploration, 729 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,079 which is my favorite part about Elden Ring, so I 730 00:29:31,079 --> 00:29:32,799 don't think I'm gonna worry about too much about some 731 00:29:32,839 --> 00:29:35,079 of these optional bosses, and I think I'm just gonna 732 00:29:35,119 --> 00:29:38,000 try and really figure out a strategy for this final 733 00:29:38,039 --> 00:29:39,960 boss and then roll credits on the DLC, and then 734 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,480 when i'm when I have an itch when I hankering 735 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:43,759 for it, and come back and I have a little 736 00:29:43,799 --> 00:29:46,440 more content to do. But yeah, I'm getting down to 737 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,200 the final hours of the DLC. Here and I think 738 00:29:49,279 --> 00:29:54,279 my favorite part about the DLC is that the regular 739 00:29:54,359 --> 00:29:56,799 leveling up system it's still in there, but there's like 740 00:29:56,839 --> 00:29:59,680 a different system specifically for the DLC, and that way 741 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,839 that they I could scale the difficulty of it based 742 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,119 on like someone who's just beat the main game, someone 743 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,680 who's done New Game plus twenty seven, you know, whatever 744 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:07,920 it is. 745 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,559 Speaker 2: They can scale the difficulty that way. 746 00:30:09,799 --> 00:30:12,079 Speaker 1: And so because of that, I when I'm leveling up 747 00:30:12,119 --> 00:30:14,480 like regularly, if your ruins or souls whatever they're called, 748 00:30:14,759 --> 00:30:16,759 I can just put my stats wherever I want now 749 00:30:16,759 --> 00:30:18,960 and it's not really going to make a huge effect 750 00:30:19,319 --> 00:30:21,119 on like my ability to beat the game. Some more, 751 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,279 I'm like, I've put a bunch of stats into Faith 752 00:30:23,359 --> 00:30:25,480 now so I can try different weapons out. I've been 753 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,880 putting some stats into things I normally wouldn't with my 754 00:30:28,039 --> 00:30:30,400 characters build. But I think the DLC is really good 755 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,119 at letting you kind of do whatever you want on 756 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,240 the stat side of things. You know, just to change 757 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,559 your stats so you can use the kind of weapons 758 00:30:36,599 --> 00:30:39,680 you're interested in using, and then you know the actual 759 00:30:39,839 --> 00:30:42,599 difficulty and like percentages of how much damage're doing is 760 00:30:42,599 --> 00:30:44,440 gonna come from the secondary thing that's more based on 761 00:30:44,519 --> 00:30:47,640 exploration than it is leveling up anyway. So that's that's 762 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,039 a nice thing for you to look forward to, you know. 763 00:30:50,119 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 2: Yeah in two years when you get. 764 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 3: To the I have the I have the I have 765 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,680 the DLC IT game with the pack that I got. 766 00:30:55,559 --> 00:30:57,359 Speaker 2: Which, oh, which is a nice right on. 767 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just like the sale price, it was 768 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,599 like pretty it was cheaper than the full price game 769 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,079 regular price for the game and the DLC, and the 770 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,720 DLC at launch was quite expensive, right, it. 771 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 2: Was like like fifty bucks. I think. 772 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, So I'm like this is a steal, you know. 773 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,839 Speaker 3: I I gotta get on this and then hopefully it'll 774 00:31:13,839 --> 00:31:16,200 motivate me to power through that game. But how do 775 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,839 you know how many mandatory bosses there are? Just from 776 00:31:18,839 --> 00:31:20,480 like talking to people or does it actually tell you 777 00:31:20,519 --> 00:31:21,079 like in the game. 778 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: I did google it earlier because I was curious. I 779 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,960 was fighting a couple of these guys. I'm like, oh 780 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,039 my god, how many more of these? Yeah, we're reading 781 00:31:29,039 --> 00:31:31,319 when the DLC came out that there's only I won't 782 00:31:31,319 --> 00:31:34,440 say the number, but a specific number, okay, And yeah, 783 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,200 I was like, okay, I've fought. 784 00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 2: A few of these. 785 00:31:36,519 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: I feel like this guy seems mandatory. He's kind of 786 00:31:38,759 --> 00:31:41,200 an annoying fight with an annoying mechanic. Do I have 787 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,960 to actually beat this guy? And so I looked it 788 00:31:43,039 --> 00:31:44,680 up and I didn't, and that's when I saw that 789 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:45,759 I only had one more. 790 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,319 Speaker 2: To go, and I'm kind of surprised. 791 00:31:47,319 --> 00:31:49,759 Speaker 1: One of them is like, it's this whole section of 792 00:31:49,759 --> 00:31:53,240 the map all on its own, really difficult, really climactic, 793 00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:55,400 really built up to this boss too, So I assumed 794 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,839 that was going to be one of the mandatory ones, 795 00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,680 but it's it's not. I mean, even in the main game, 796 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,640 there's a bosses that are like, it's surprising that that's 797 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,440 not someone you have to beat to roll credits on 798 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,599 the game.

So yeah, I. 920 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 4: Absolutely love Age of Mythology. 921 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,519 Speaker 3: When the when like the remass whatever this is, this 922 00:37:10,639 --> 00:37:13,199 is like I won't want to say a remass. This 923 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,800 is like a remake almost, like like it does look 924 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,320 a lot more than just polished, like an enhanced edition, 925 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,719 like like that was my thoughts going into it. And 926 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,880 I remember getting excited about the Warcraft three remake and 927 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,960 that that I don't know, I don't know. I heard 928 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,280 that one wasn't as great, like uh as to what 929 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,559 they were promising, like there's no custom games and like 930 00:37:31,599 --> 00:37:34,559 the stuff that really people loved about that original game. 931 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,639 They didn't quite make it even though it looked really good. 932 00:37:37,639 --> 00:37:40,000 So I was kind of stand offish.

It will not launch 953 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,960 on my Steam. I I have tried so many fixes 954 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,480 that of course, like the community is suggesting, it seems 955 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,199 like there's quite a lot of people that they have 956 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,639 the exact same issue. Some people like me that have 957 00:38:30,679 --> 00:38:32,199 not even got the chance to play it, and some 958 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,440 people that were playing it and then they did an 959 00:38:34,519 --> 00:38:36,599 update and now with the game just won't launch for them, 960 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,199 really really really bummed about it.

He played like five and a half 968 00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,880 hours that night, and I just could not even launch 969 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:01,519 the game. I've tried so many things. 970 00:39:01,599 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 1: I was like is you know, on its fading breadths? 971 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:06,519 Is that what's going on here? 972 00:39:06,639 --> 00:39:07,559 Speaker 2: Or is it my witch? 973 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 3: I like updated my drivers, like I like I checked 974 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,480 it like the minimum requirements and like I'm all there, 975 00:39:13,519 --> 00:39:14,519 and I don't know. 976 00:39:14,559 --> 00:39:16,599 Speaker 4: I felt like I don't know. 977 00:39:16,639 --> 00:39:18,599 Speaker 3: I was gonna refund the game, like right away, just 978 00:39:18,599 --> 00:39:20,760 because I was so mad, like Saturday morning, like I 979 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,639 didn't I didn't get to play Danzil played all night. 980 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 2: This fucking bullshit is my favorite game. 981 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,760 Speaker 3: And then, uh, I don't know, a lot of people 982 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,639 were kind of reporting the same thing. So a lot 983 00:39:29,679 --> 00:39:31,639 of people are just like I'm I'm waiting for the patches, 984 00:39:31,679 --> 00:39:33,280 hopefully they fix it. So I am gonna wait a 985 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,039 little bit longer to see if they do patch it. There, 986 00:39:36,119 --> 00:39:39,039 I haven't seen anything posted from like them specifically about it. 987 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:41,320 Speaker 4: And then I don't know. 988 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 3: My weekend just got it caught busy with other things, 989 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,039 so I haven't really been able to look into it 990 00:39:45,199 --> 00:39:47,079 too deeply. I might try a couple of other things, 991 00:39:47,079 --> 00:39:49,920 but like I've uninstalled the game, reinstalled the game, like 992 00:39:50,039 --> 00:39:52,679 verified like all the files and as I said, like 993 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,639 readed my old my drivers and stuff. But I was 994 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,800 so bummed about that and uh yeah, I still have 995 00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,880 not played it, says one minute played because I clicked 996 00:40:00,079 --> 00:40:02,639 on Steam and it just it likes it like shows 997 00:40:02,679 --> 00:40:04,599 that it's launching, and then it just goes back to 998 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,039 like like nothing, and really really unfortunately, I was really 999 00:40:08,079 --> 00:40:10,920 looking forward to that. So hopefully I can. I can 1000 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,719 tell you about it, you know, and the picture when we. 1001 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,760 Speaker 2: Do, let me know, because I would love to. 1002 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,679 Speaker 1: I'm gonna definitely down like I don't have when I 1003 00:40:19,679 --> 00:40:22,280 get game Pass again. I would definitely love to play 1004 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,400 that with you. And so when you when you've got 1005 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,000 it figured out, let me know and I'll download it 1006 00:40:27,039 --> 00:40:29,400 and we can hopefully play it together. 1007 00:40:29,519 --> 00:40:31,159 Speaker 2: And I think on my laptop. 1008 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 1: But you know what, it's weird about that, because they've 1009 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,880 been doing a ton of these like they did remaster 1010 00:40:36,159 --> 00:40:39,679 like modern versions, right for all the old Age Empires games, 1011 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,599 they did Age of Empires four. I imagine it's the same 1012 00:40:42,639 --> 00:40:45,039 team that's working on this. Yeah, I would have thought 1013 00:40:45,119 --> 00:40:47,280 like they would have been just crushing these remakes, working 1014 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,599 in this engine and all this stuff.

So I'm I was honestly 1116 00:45:12,199 --> 00:45:13,719 thinking about this other day. I'm like, I don't know 1117 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,000 if I'm able to do it this year. I feel 1118 00:45:15,039 --> 00:45:16,599 like the last two or three years I've been like 1119 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,159 popping off hard. Like I will stay up. I don't 1120 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,239 get a wink asleep. I'll take the shifts that no 1121 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,519 one wants to do. I'm in it, but I do. 1122 00:45:24,679 --> 00:45:26,119 Speaker 2: For some reason, I'm feeling. 1123 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,239 Speaker 1: This year that my my sustainability is gonna be weaker. 1124 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,320 Speaker 2: So I will see how that goes. But it should 1125 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:31,960 be a good time. 1126 00:45:32,559 --> 00:45:34,400 Speaker 1: But we're gonna throw it to a quick ad break here, 1127 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,960 Kirkland's gonna try and boot up agent mythology once more. 1128 00:45:37,519 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 2: We'll be right back.

Where 1136 00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,519 do you want to go? I'm gonna actually, yeah, I'll 1137 00:46:02,519 --> 00:46:06,079 talk about a little updaten matching clink. While I almost 1138 00:46:06,079 --> 00:46:10,320 said wild while rift apart. You know, I think last 1139 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,039 time I was on here, I told you I was 1140 00:46:12,079 --> 00:46:14,519 about like halfway through the game, and I felt like 1141 00:46:14,559 --> 00:46:16,000 I was halfway through the game, and I was I 1142 00:46:16,039 --> 00:46:18,039 was worried just because I was enjoying it so much. 1143 00:46:18,079 --> 00:46:20,519 And I've since beat it, I've rolled credits on it, 1144 00:46:20,559 --> 00:46:22,800 and not only that, I got the Platinum on this game. 1145 00:46:23,079 --> 00:46:26,159 I went, I feel like I beat this game in 1146 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,639 like no more than three sessions. I could not put 1147 00:46:29,679 --> 00:46:32,159 the controller down, like I was actually so hooked. My 1148 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,800 total playtime after getting the platinum was fifteen hours. So 1149 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:37,599 I think if you didn't do like any of the 1150 00:46:37,639 --> 00:46:41,079 extra stuff, like probably eleven hours is like the total story, which. 1151 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,280 Speaker 1: That's a pretty quick platinum, even for like Insomniac Games. 1152 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:45,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's cool. 1153 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,639 Speaker 3: I was like, I was kind of conscious of what 1154 00:46:48,679 --> 00:46:50,880 I needed to do though, Like en Route, I feel 1155 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:52,400 like if I didn't do that, there'd be a lot 1156 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,000 of backtracking I had to do, so I kinda I 1157 00:46:55,079 --> 00:46:57,000 kind of did myself a service there. There was there 1158 00:46:57,039 --> 00:46:58,719 was two trophies at the end that I actually had 1159 00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,360 to like grind for and I was so paid about 1160 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,280 because they're just really stupid. They have to like I 1161 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,519 had to look up guides for. I was just so mad. 1162 00:47:04,559 --> 00:47:06,679 I didn't want to do it, and especially when you're like, Okay, 1163 00:47:06,679 --> 00:47:08,280 I'm almost done the game. I was want to get 1164 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:09,920 the platinum and you're like, what I have to do that? 1165 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:10,519 Speaker 2: Are you kidding? 1166 00:47:11,159 --> 00:47:14,639 Speaker 3: So uh but no, absolutely ten out of ten game. 1167 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,960 It it is so good. It's definitely one of my 1168 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,199 favorite action ventures that I've that I've played through in 1169 00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,800 the in the in the last handful of years. And 1170 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,360 it's just it's so it It just it just felt 1171 00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:30,400 so like like well polished, like like like it was 1172 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,320 such a beautiful game, really fun to play through, really 1173 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,840 loved all the characters. They had some really good Yeah, 1174 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,159 just really good personalities amongst the characters. I like the 1175 00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,400 I like the boss at the end, Like I just 1176 00:47:41,519 --> 00:47:44,119 really loved it across the hole, yeah, the whole board. 1177 00:47:44,159 --> 00:47:45,880 So I'm definitely gonna be keep my eyes on this 1178 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,519 franchise going forward, because yeah, they they knocked us out 1179 00:47:48,519 --> 00:47:51,239 the part I even saw in the PlayStation catalog. They 1180 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,480 have like pretty much all of the ratcheting client games 1181 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,199 on there, so I might be tempted to boot up 1182 00:47:55,199 --> 00:47:58,079 one of those old classics. And I think when I 1183 00:47:58,079 --> 00:47:59,360 was on there, like I was telling you, like I 1184 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:03,719 played like I think it was the third game or 1185 00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,719 the second game, and like they have that one on there, 1186 00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,760 and it's like, oh man, just that nostalgia trip is 1187 00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,840 gonna be great. But yeah, really really fun game that 1188 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,840 I highly recommend to anyone that has I think it's 1189 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,079 only on PS five.

I actually had to push 1199 00:48:44,199 --> 00:48:46,920 this podcast back fifteen minutes because I was just we 1200 00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,519 could not stop playing this. Cult to the Lamb Dylan 1201 00:48:49,599 --> 00:48:52,599 Musk we jump back in there. Hadn't played it in 1202 00:48:52,599 --> 00:48:55,880 a while because I, I don't know, I just for 1203 00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,159 a reason, like the first time I played it went 1204 00:48:58,199 --> 00:48:59,719 really hard, and then I put it down. I played 1205 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,320 a little bit after that, but like not so much more, 1206 00:49:02,519 --> 00:49:04,880 and then Shaye played like a little bit here and there, 1207 00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:06,880 and then I really like remember that they had the 1208 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,320 two player version of it. 1209 00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,880 Speaker 4: Now, I don't know if it's like a different title, 1210 00:49:12,119 --> 00:49:12,840 just I don't know. 1211 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,920 Speaker 2: The free like separate d name. 1212 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:20,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so this is another PlayStation collection game that 1213 00:49:20,559 --> 00:49:22,440 they had on there. So fortunately I didn't have to 1214 00:49:22,559 --> 00:49:24,639 pay any extra for it on that system because I 1215 00:49:24,639 --> 00:49:27,079 originally had it on on the Switch and then playing 1216 00:49:27,079 --> 00:49:30,559 it on PlayStation now and yeah, it seems like it 1217 00:49:30,599 --> 00:49:33,679 has the whole DLC in there with Goat that's the 1218 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:37,239 other character which I absolutely love. Shaye plays the Lamb 1219 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,760 and I Geta plays the Goat character. He's just so fantastic, 1220 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,000 and this game like it's it's I mean, you played it. 1221 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,079 We did a whole episode on it. It's definitely like 1222 00:49:45,119 --> 00:49:47,559 you got to keep on your task and always doing stuff. 1223 00:49:48,119 --> 00:49:50,360 It feels like a perfect two player couch go op 1224 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,400 game though, because I feel like there is so much 1225 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,880 to be managing on like the cult aspect and Shaye's 1226 00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,239 doing farming, I'm I'm bringing dissenters into the prison and 1227 00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,920 like just sacrifice, like you're just always doing stuff, and 1228 00:50:02,119 --> 00:50:05,719 the crusades feel a lot more manageable, like with two 1229 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,000 people on it. They do scale the difficulty, so like 1230 00:50:08,039 --> 00:50:10,599 depending on how many people are playing that, I don't 1231 00:50:10,599 --> 00:50:12,280 know if there's more enemies or if they hit harder, 1232 00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:16,119 there is a difficulty scaling on that regard. But yeah, 1233 00:50:16,159 --> 00:50:19,920 we've been absolutely hooked with this game. We are obsessed 1234 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:21,599 with it. I'm enjoying it so much more than I 1235 00:50:21,599 --> 00:50:23,199 did the first time, just because we are playing it 1236 00:50:23,199 --> 00:50:26,199 together and the combat gets really intense and it's like 1237 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,679 nitty and gritty. There was one where she was down, 1238 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:30,199 I had like half a heart left and I ended 1239 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,800 up clutching it out, so definitely channels that you know, 1240 00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,119 elden Ring vibe. It's a lot easier than that, but 1241 00:50:35,199 --> 00:50:39,199 still it scratches that itch. And yeah, I feel like 1242 00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:40,639 the first time I played called the Lamb as well, 1243 00:50:40,679 --> 00:50:43,000 because it was on switch, I mostly played handheld, so 1244 00:50:43,039 --> 00:50:45,360 it just feels a lot better with like a larger 1245 00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,599 controller and of course on the big screen, and. 1246 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:49,880 Speaker 4: It's just yeah, it's so fantastic. 1247 00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:54,039 Speaker 3: So I am getting this second breath of enjoyment with it, 1248 00:50:54,119 --> 00:50:55,920 and it's it's fantastic. 1249 00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it. 1250 00:50:57,519 --> 00:50:59,960 Speaker 3: We're thinking, like, I don't know how much more will 1251 00:51:00,039 --> 00:51:02,800 play after we beat all like the main bosses in it, 1252 00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:04,800 because there is like endgame content where you kind of 1253 00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:09,440 do like endless crusade runs, but like and like, I 1254 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,599 guess you could keep just upgrading your your your cult, 1255 00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,760 your farm, whatever you want to call it. But unfortunately, 1256 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:22,000 we do have experience with some bugs. There's one reoccurring 1257 00:51:22,039 --> 00:51:24,840 one which is so annoying every once in a while, 1258 00:51:25,119 --> 00:51:26,719 and by every once in a while, it seems like 1259 00:51:27,199 --> 00:51:29,719 recently almost every run at the end of a crusade, 1260 00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,320 it just like will endless load back to our cults, 1261 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,239 so we can't go from like the like, as soon 1262 00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:38,039 as you finish the Crusade, you get all your stuff 1263 00:51:38,039 --> 00:51:41,440 that you collected and whatnot, it'll just like it'll just 1264 00:51:41,559 --> 00:51:44,920 endless load screen. Fortunately it does save everything that you 1265 00:51:45,039 --> 00:51:47,639 got on the Crusade, but it's just like, Okay, close 1266 00:51:47,679 --> 00:51:49,639 the game, load it back up, go back in. Then 1267 00:51:49,679 --> 00:51:51,440 I have to add her and then and then we 1268 00:51:51,519 --> 00:51:54,320 you know, like like just the whole process is super annoying, 1269 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,239 and it seems like it's happening more often than not 1270 00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,880 on the Crusades as of late, which is really unfortunate 1271 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,199 because you just do like a really long crusade, finally 1272 00:52:02,199 --> 00:52:04,039 got it out, and it's like, oh yeah, right, endless 1273 00:52:04,039 --> 00:52:07,119 loads screen, gotta close this. And there's been many times 1274 00:52:07,119 --> 00:52:08,360 where it's like, hey, we're done for the night. 1275 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:09,360 Speaker 4: I don't wanna I don't want. 1276 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,119 Speaker 3: To deal with this again. So like annoying in that sense. 1277 00:52:12,519 --> 00:52:16,320 There's some uh like like I guess you would call 1278 00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,159 it a bug, like sometimes when you like interact with something, 1279 00:52:18,199 --> 00:52:20,199 it'll just like freeze and me like wait a second, 1280 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:21,000 then it comes back on. 1281 00:52:21,159 --> 00:52:23,400 Speaker 1: So I remember just feel like that happened when I 1282 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,079 was even late in the game. I remember the yeah, 1283 00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:27,679 dropping quite a bit once, like my camp was pretty 1284 00:52:27,679 --> 00:52:28,440 big as well. 1285 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, so that that's definitely happened uh here and there, 1286 00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:34,239 which which is unfortunate, but uh like yeah, across the 1287 00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:37,800 board everything else, we've been really really enjoying. And I 1288 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,079 don't know, like it felt like I was like drowning 1289 00:52:40,199 --> 00:52:41,880 the first time I was playing the game because I 1290 00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:43,840 was just always trying to keep up with what I 1291 00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:44,960 had to do in the camp. 1292 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:46,880 Speaker 4: And now that there's two of us, we can kind 1293 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:48,360 of deviate. 1294 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,880 Speaker 2: Someone to shovel poop and someone. 1295 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,920 Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, but it like it is really satisfying once 1296 00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:56,840 you kind of get everything managed and then you start 1297 00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,079 getting like a self sufficient. 1298 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,239 Speaker 4: Cult, know all that stuff. 1299 00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,159 Speaker 3: So yeah, we've been we've been grinding that NonStop really 1300 00:53:04,199 --> 00:53:07,079 like since like that's probably took up a lot of 1301 00:53:07,119 --> 00:53:10,000 my Plucky Squire time. Honestly, she was off all weekend 1302 00:53:10,039 --> 00:53:12,039 so that we were just going super hard on that 1303 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,559 co op. Yeah, so it's been really really fun. 1304 00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of forgot that they did add the 1305 00:53:18,199 --> 00:53:19,840 co op and some point, and I do remember that 1306 00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,239 my least favorite part of the game was the crusades 1307 00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,280 in general, So that sounds like a nice way around 1308 00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,000 that where they just sound a little more engaging. Yeah, 1309 00:53:27,039 --> 00:53:28,480 in the two player modes, that's a good thing, but 1310 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,079 it's a weird like a game like that, and then 1311 00:53:30,559 --> 00:53:32,599 see if stars as well getting like that co op 1312 00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,239 updates Like that's it's just a string. It seems like 1313 00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,480 a strange choice to put co op in again like that, 1314 00:53:37,519 --> 00:53:38,519 but like why not? 1315 00:53:38,679 --> 00:53:39,239 Speaker 2: Why not just. 1316 00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,320 Speaker 1: Give players who are going to be into that another 1317 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,800 opportunity to play and for someone like you maybe yeah, 1318 00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:45,280 I got like halfway through a game, it's a good 1319 00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:48,280 way to like incentivize that second win.

It's like when you're on a run, 1329 00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,039 you'd meet the guy and then you would pick between 1330 00:54:13,039 --> 00:54:15,119 two tarot cards and then it'll basically give you like 1331 00:54:15,159 --> 00:54:17,480 an upgrade for that run, right, I believe they added 1332 00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:20,280 more of those as well as like new NPC characters 1333 00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:21,840 that you run across that kind of like give you 1334 00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:23,159 different upgrades and. 1335 00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,280 Speaker 2: Just like some nice improvements to Crusades in generally. 1336 00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly, and then more followers. 1337 00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,719 Speaker 3: I can't because do you remember like Knucklebones, like those 1338 00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:33,920 little mini games that they had, like like instead of 1339 00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,559 going on Crusades, you'd go to like different areas and 1340 00:54:36,599 --> 00:54:39,360 then like one of them is you play Knucklebones or 1341 00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,760 just like a fishing area, Like there's just different things 1342 00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:42,400 you can go do. 1343 00:54:43,199 --> 00:54:46,000 Speaker 2: Fishing area.

But yeah, I remember it's I 1346 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,320 totally forgot about that kind of world stuff. Yeah right, 1347 00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:54,920 there was a few areas you can explore. 1348 00:54:55,159 --> 00:54:57,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think they might have added like a 1349 00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,800 new area like that to go to. We've complete disregard 1350 00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:02,519 of those, like we like we just don't go do 1351 00:55:02,679 --> 00:55:04,320 any of those little other areas. We're just kind of 1352 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,519 focused on doing the crusades and then just kind of 1353 00:55:06,559 --> 00:55:10,119 upgrading the camp. But yeah, so I can't really speak 1354 00:55:10,159 --> 00:55:11,920 too much of like the difference there. Plus like it 1355 00:55:12,119 --> 00:55:14,079 had been a while since I played the main game, 1356 00:55:14,159 --> 00:55:16,920 so I couldn't really remember everything that was vanilla to 1357 00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:21,079 what was added.

So we're just kind of 1372 00:55:54,679 --> 00:55:56,719 looking through the category there, and man, you brought up 1373 00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,719 See You Stars. That was one that got taken off 1374 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:01,960 the cat along with unpacking. 1375 00:56:02,039 --> 00:56:03,320 Speaker 4: So I'm so sad. I was. 1376 00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:04,960 Speaker 3: I was looking at it all my homepage and then 1377 00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,719 now it's just like locked. It's like, oh man, I 1378 00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,719 do still want to get in there. At some point 1379 00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,079 but yeah, I think it'll be a little bit longer now. 1380 00:56:13,119 --> 00:56:14,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, there's not one you'd want to start on, 1381 00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,960 like another platform. You'd definitely want to continue from your save, 1382 00:56:18,039 --> 00:56:20,280 I imagine, because I, yeah, the Switch version, but like 1383 00:56:20,599 --> 00:56:23,440 you'd probably want to continue that place save. 1384 00:56:23,519 --> 00:56:24,159 Speaker 2: I imagine. 1385 00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's I feel like it's a type of 1386 00:56:26,039 --> 00:56:27,840 game that it's like I've lost all my progress. It 1387 00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:30,000 would like, man, I need some time before I jump 1388 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,119 back in there just to like retread the same path. 1389 00:56:32,199 --> 00:56:35,079 I don't know, I was invested in pretty linear game. 1390 00:56:35,159 --> 00:56:38,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, so redoing that stuff would not be uh super enjoyable. 1391 00:56:38,679 --> 00:56:39,719 So that that's too bad. 1392 00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,199 Speaker 1: And that one's also like it's fairly expensive as far 1393 00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:45,480 as indie games go, so like repurchasing that even you know, 1394 00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:48,000 knowing that you didn't beat it in the first place. 1395 00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:49,719 Speaker 2: Is kind of a tough pill to swallow. So that's 1396 00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:50,159 too bad. 1397 00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:51,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, hundred percent. 1398 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:56,519 Speaker 3: And then my last game, I will mention here probably 1399 00:56:56,679 --> 00:56:59,199 knew if you listen to you know, other podcasts or 1400 00:56:59,199 --> 00:57:01,400 whennot I'm talking to Travis with I've been getting into 1401 00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:05,880 football lately, and I I haven't played like a Madden 1402 00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:08,239 game in like a very long time or anything like that. 1403 00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:09,159 Speaker 4: But this game. 1404 00:57:09,199 --> 00:57:12,199 Speaker 3: I picked up College Football twenty five. It's it's by 1405 00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,519 like the creators of like Madden, but it is so 1406 00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,599 fun to play because it's a lot more arcadie than 1407 00:57:18,639 --> 00:57:21,639 like a regular Madden game is. And I've been a 1408 00:57:21,679 --> 00:57:22,920 little addicted as. 1409 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:23,320 Speaker 4: Of like this is. 1410 00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,559 Speaker 3: This has kind of been another addiction of mine. I 1411 00:57:25,559 --> 00:57:28,880 think I've logged since I've got it, which was I 1412 00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,239 don't know before the football season. I'm like at one 1413 00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,920 hundred hours now on this game. Like, I have been 1414 00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,960 going so hard in the dynasty mode and it's been 1415 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,920 it's been great, especially just because like football season started, 1416 00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:41,639 this is my first season. 1417 00:57:41,639 --> 00:57:42,159 Speaker 4: I'm really fun. 1418 00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,199 Speaker 2: Later, Warhammer three got a new favorite. 1419 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,239 Speaker 3: We got a new favorite. This is a PS five 1420 00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,639 picks and of course my system can actually run it 1421 00:57:51,119 --> 00:57:54,960 like Age of Mythology apparently, but no, yeah, I like 1422 00:57:55,239 --> 00:57:57,440 especially just because football started. We have like a fantasy 1423 00:57:57,519 --> 00:57:59,519 draft going on the on the you know, go join 1424 00:57:59,559 --> 00:58:02,199 the gv scored. We got a good little NFL channel 1425 00:58:02,199 --> 00:58:04,119 that we follow there, and I've just been like totally 1426 00:58:04,559 --> 00:58:08,280 taken in that head headspace. So pairing it with playing 1427 00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:10,840 some college football, it's just it's just been. It's been 1428 00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,000 lots of fun and very frustrating. So of course when 1429 00:58:14,039 --> 00:58:16,239 your team loses and went up, but I do I'll 1430 00:58:16,239 --> 00:58:17,960 probably bring it up on the twenty four hour stream 1431 00:58:18,119 --> 00:58:18,880 just to at least. 1432 00:58:19,199 --> 00:58:21,239 Speaker 1: I would love to watch you guys. I don't want 1433 00:58:21,239 --> 00:58:22,960 to play, but I want to watch you guys and 1434 00:58:23,039 --> 00:58:25,079 maybe throw some commentary in there with Taylor. Watch you 1435 00:58:25,119 --> 00:58:25,679 guys play. 1436 00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,480 Speaker 3: I've never beaten Travis in a Madden game before, and 1437 00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,440 I still don't really like my challenges. But like one 1438 00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:34,280 hundred hours on college football, Like it's different than Madden games, 1439 00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,039 right because Madden's like the pros where this is college. 1440 00:58:37,039 --> 00:58:39,840 So it's a little bit different. And as I said, like, is. 1441 00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,199 Speaker 1: There a third football game, because could we do where 1442 00:58:42,239 --> 00:58:43,000 you guys do college? 1443 00:58:43,239 --> 00:58:45,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's Blitz NFL and then like. 1444 00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:48,679 Speaker 3: There's NFL Breaker without NFL Blitz would be the game. 1445 00:58:49,039 --> 00:58:51,840 Speaker 2: Like breaking each other's Yeah, you know that kind of thing, right. 1446 00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:56,480 Speaker 3: There's probably like NFL's Street. You know they've like FIFA Street. 1447 00:58:57,599 --> 00:58:59,239 Speaker 2: Pretty it's like one of the ones they haven't. 1448 00:58:59,519 --> 00:59:03,119 Speaker 3: Yeah they should add that, but yeah, like they've I 1449 00:59:03,119 --> 00:59:05,079 don't know what system it's on, whether it's like three 1450 00:59:05,199 --> 00:59:07,800 sixty that era, or maybe even earlier. But they definitely 1451 00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:11,679 have like a Madden Street game, which would be lots 1452 00:59:11,679 --> 00:59:13,000 of fun. So yeah, maybe I'll have do a little 1453 00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,880 gauntlet there and hopefully I don't just get aced, because 1454 00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,519 like I said, I've never beaten Travis, so we'll see what. 1455 00:59:18,679 --> 00:59:21,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, dude, now you're you've been doing your stretches, 1456 00:59:21,239 --> 00:59:23,239 you're tying your shoes like your this is your your 1457 00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:24,440 chance to beat them. 1458 00:59:24,519 --> 00:59:27,559 Speaker 4: I'm going for it exactly. I'll give them a really bad. 1459 00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:31,480 Speaker 3: School that I have to play him against. But yeah, no, 1460 00:59:31,559 --> 00:59:34,840 it's been fun and great game. I highly recommend the 1461 00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:36,800 word on the street that apparently Madden has not been 1462 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:38,920 a good game for a very long time, and this 1463 00:59:39,159 --> 00:59:41,400 was like a nice little breath. 1464 00:59:41,239 --> 00:59:44,480 Speaker 4: Of fresh air for the football arcade enjoyers. 1465 00:59:44,559 --> 00:59:47,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, it probably lets them experiment a bit more, whereas 1466 00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:50,119 with Madden. Yeah, there's probably like a need to just 1467 00:59:50,239 --> 00:59:52,559 like do the basics of getting all the new players 1468 00:59:52,599 --> 00:59:54,760 and you, yeah, I don't know, just that basic stuff 1469 00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,639 focused on like really good graphical fidelity and whatnot, So 1470 00:59:57,679 --> 00:59:59,840 they probably take a lot's time to actually be creative 1471 00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:02,320 with when they probably also don't need to because even 1472 01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:03,800 if it hasn't been good in a while, I still 1473 01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:05,360 think it's selling super well every time. 1474 01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,360 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, No, it's it's a it's like all those 1475 01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,239 sports games that people just get it no matter what, 1476 01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,039 every single year. Like there's I'm sure there's a lot 1477 01:00:12,039 --> 01:00:14,320 of people that only have bought FIFA on whatever the 1478 01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:14,920 system they have. 1479 01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:16,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, they just buy it every single year. 1480 01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:19,840 Speaker 3: And yeah, no, but I think there is something special 1481 01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,440 about this game that it's like it can reel in, 1482 01:00:22,559 --> 01:00:24,679 you know, not just those same fans that are buying 1483 01:00:24,719 --> 01:00:28,159 them every year, and especially because they had been of 1484 01:00:28,239 --> 01:00:29,880 like I don't know, like I feel like the Last 1485 01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:32,760 Man game I play was like on PS three maybe four, 1486 01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,719 but like, man, this just looks so good in comparison, 1487 01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:37,599 like of course on like the PS five with all 1488 01:00:37,639 --> 01:00:40,159 the nice like on my nice TV that I got. 1489 01:00:40,199 --> 01:00:43,800 So yeah, it's been it's been good, but my time 1490 01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,679 has mostly been cultal amb like the last little bit 1491 01:00:46,719 --> 01:00:49,159 here with some plucky Square, but definitely like the last 1492 01:00:49,159 --> 01:00:51,760 couple of weeks, I feel like every week, like there 1493 01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:53,199 hasn't been a week where I haven't just like booted 1494 01:00:53,199 --> 01:00:55,440 it up at least one game and gone in there 1495 01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:57,079 and I feel like some of those hours might be 1496 01:00:57,119 --> 01:00:59,000 skewed because maybe I'm in like the dining steam mode 1497 01:00:59,039 --> 01:01:01,599 and that go way make make lunch or something kind 1498 01:01:01,599 --> 01:01:02,280 of forget about it. 1499 01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:04,880 Speaker 2: But yeah, that's still awesome. 1500 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:08,679 Speaker 1: Okay, cool, let's take our last break here, quick break, 1501 01:01:08,719 --> 01:01:14,800 and we'll be back to talk about The Plucky Squire. Okay, 1502 01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:18,039 we are back. The Plucky Squire, I think, is a 1503 01:01:18,079 --> 01:01:20,400 game that was one of the most anticipated indie games 1504 01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:23,480 for the last couple of years. Here it's a new team, 1505 01:01:23,599 --> 01:01:26,199 I believe, but one of the main guys on it 1506 01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,880 was like the art director on Pokemon for like years 1507 01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,679 and years and years, which really makes sense why this 1508 01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:35,199 game has like a very definitive art style, and that's 1509 01:01:35,199 --> 01:01:36,840 why something that stands out about it if you forget 1510 01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:39,079 what this is. This is kind of the starts as 1511 01:01:39,079 --> 01:01:42,000 like a top down Zelda like experience. You're playing a 1512 01:01:42,079 --> 01:01:44,679 character in a storybook, and then at some point you 1513 01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:46,920 pop out of the book into a three D realm 1514 01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:50,559 on this child's desk in his bedroom, and then you're 1515 01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:53,679 exploring in a three D world, going back into the book, 1516 01:01:53,719 --> 01:01:55,559 back into three D kind of back and forth. That's 1517 01:01:55,639 --> 01:01:58,880 kind of general idea with it. Kirklyn, you mentioned you've 1518 01:01:59,119 --> 01:02:01,159 been stretched in between these other games. Do you know 1519 01:02:01,159 --> 01:02:03,599 what chapter you're on or an hour count? Roughly how 1520 01:02:03,639 --> 01:02:04,599 much you've played so far? 1521 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,239 Speaker 3: I'm a couple hours in. I don't like not much 1522 01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:12,000 more than that. I I don't remember what chapter, but uh, 1523 01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:15,840 I don't know minor spoiler, I guess I'm out of 1524 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:19,360 the book. So I experienced like that area and like 1525 01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,320 got some of those new mechanics that are kind of 1526 01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:27,000 introduced through there. So yeah, unfortunately I missed the chapter count, 1527 01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,360 but I don't know, maybe like how far are you? 1528 01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:32,559 I just want to see in comparison, like the. 1529 01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,800 Speaker 1: Game, Oh there you go half an hour before we 1530 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:40,000 started recording, So I just I went ham and tried 1531 01:02:40,039 --> 01:02:41,400 to get through the round. 1532 01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:42,400 Speaker 2: I didn't know if I would. 1533 01:02:42,599 --> 01:02:45,800 Speaker 1: I looked up like how many chapters there were, and 1534 01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,159 thankfully the last chapter is like pretty much like an epilogue, 1535 01:02:48,199 --> 01:02:51,119 Like it takes like five seconds. So it's like so 1536 01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:53,599 I was able to just barely clutch it out and 1537 01:02:53,599 --> 01:02:56,400 that took me eight hours to beat the Okay, yeah, 1538 01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:56,800 so I'm. 1539 01:02:56,679 --> 01:02:58,920 Speaker 3: Probably like a quarter the way I would imagine through 1540 01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,320 it with my because like I said, like I would 1541 01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:03,199 imagine I'm no more than yeah, like two or so 1542 01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:07,199 hours in, but yeah, no, it's been This was definitely 1543 01:03:07,239 --> 01:03:10,159 I think my most anticipated from whatever it was that 1544 01:03:10,159 --> 01:03:11,599 we were covering that we saw it on there. It's 1545 01:03:11,639 --> 01:03:15,360 just very very unique art style, but mostly the gameplay 1546 01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,360 element I thought was like the biggest surprising aspect to it. 1547 01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,679 And to actually get my hands on the controller and 1548 01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:23,920 like in this world it is like so much better 1549 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:25,679 than I actually thought it was going to be, especially 1550 01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:29,159 just with how the world and your character get like 1551 01:03:29,239 --> 01:03:31,880 interacts with the world around them. Like I think just 1552 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:33,679 the idea of what the mechanics were was enough to 1553 01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:35,480 rope me in, But once I actually got in there, 1554 01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:39,039 this game and the story really like especially the characters. 1555 01:03:39,039 --> 01:03:40,760 They totally remind me of Adventure Time. I don't know 1556 01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:43,239 if you've ever seen that show, but just like Finn 1557 01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,480 the Human, it just totally reminds me of Jot and 1558 01:03:45,519 --> 01:03:48,920 like some of his little like compatriots or like Evil 1559 01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:51,199 Wizard totally reminds me of the Ice King. 1560 01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:52,800 Speaker 4: So there's just so many parallels. 1561 01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:56,719 Speaker 3: Like Princess Bubblegum is very similar to like the Princess 1562 01:03:56,719 --> 01:03:59,840 in this that it's like it I think, so yeah, 1563 01:03:59,880 --> 01:04:02,760 I just love I love that show.

I am super duper 1587 01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:11,360 mixed on this game, Kirkland, where I at first, you know, 1588 01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,320 of course, the aesthetic of this game fucking top notch, 1589 01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:17,039 the artwork in the book, and the way that the 1590 01:05:17,039 --> 01:05:19,000 book actually looks like a book, Like there's a crease 1591 01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,840 in the middle of the page the textbox that pop up, 1592 01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:23,599 and like maybe we'll be cut on that crease in 1593 01:05:23,639 --> 01:05:27,199 the page. Like that art is amazing, like that top 1594 01:05:27,239 --> 01:05:29,559 Day on zeld Art. When you get into three D world, 1595 01:05:29,599 --> 01:05:31,880 it does it's not like the highest fidelity thing whatever, 1596 01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:33,840 but it looks really cute, looks really good. It looks 1597 01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:36,880 a lot like links Awakening type art style. And then 1598 01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:38,800 I think what surprised me so much is like how 1599 01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:40,880 many other art styles are also mixed in there, where 1600 01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:42,960 you all have a certain two D section with like 1601 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,599 this totally different art style from any other stuff. You 1602 01:05:45,639 --> 01:05:47,519 mentioned that one with a certain card battle the top 1603 01:05:47,519 --> 01:05:49,960 of a tower, which was amazing, And then there's other 1604 01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,079 things like in the trailer, there's a scene where you're 1605 01:05:52,079 --> 01:05:54,119 like shooting a gun on like a mug and you're 1606 01:05:54,119 --> 01:05:56,519 doing like a three D kind of going around this mug, 1607 01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,159 and like that moment in the game is really cool. 1608 01:05:59,159 --> 01:06:01,320 And like has a totally distinct art style to it, 1609 01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:03,519 and there's multiple moments like that where the art style 1610 01:06:03,599 --> 01:06:05,920 is like just they're just crafting something completely new for 1611 01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,119 this and they're obviously like hearkening tow stuff. Like I 1612 01:06:08,159 --> 01:06:11,559 think the Adventure time reference is like really on point, 1613 01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:13,119 and I feel like there's a lot of that where 1614 01:06:13,159 --> 01:06:14,679 it's like, Okay, I can see what they're kind of 1615 01:06:14,679 --> 01:06:17,719 referencing here, and like they totally pull it off while 1616 01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:20,400 it's still unique and like the character designs are unique 1617 01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,719 and all that. So esthetically, and even the music is 1618 01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:25,320 really great too, some sequences where there's like there's a 1619 01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:28,039 still sequisy're doing with like this amazing like kind of 1620 01:06:28,199 --> 01:06:32,800 jazz like almost like improvisational thing that's really really cool. 1621 01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:37,000 So the music esthetically, I'm coughing because. 1622 01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:37,679 Speaker 4: It's takes your breath way. 1623 01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:39,360 Speaker 2: It takes your breathway. 1624 01:06:39,199 --> 01:06:41,880 Speaker 1: Aesthetically ten out of ten, like one of the most 1625 01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:46,360 cohesive i'd say, like visual and like auditory like cohesive 1626 01:06:46,519 --> 01:06:49,159 games like they ever played, honestly super top notch. 1627 01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:49,480 Speaker 2: In that way. 1628 01:06:50,079 --> 01:06:52,719 Speaker 1: And then I think where the mixed part of it 1629 01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:55,840 comes is that like for the first few hours, like 1630 01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,320 I feel like the trailers kind of spoiled some of 1631 01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,079 the better moments of the game, and so I pop 1632 01:07:01,079 --> 01:07:03,000 out of the book for the first time. It was cool, 1633 01:07:03,039 --> 01:07:05,000 but I was also like, Okay, I knew that was common, 1634 01:07:06,239 --> 01:07:08,800 and so like, how are we gonna mix up that formula? 1635 01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,159 And I feel like that's maybe where the disconnect comes 1636 01:07:11,159 --> 01:07:12,599 from me where like the best parts in this game 1637 01:07:12,639 --> 01:07:16,039 are almost all two D sections where you're in that 1638 01:07:16,159 --> 01:07:18,840 Zelda sequence, and then there's like some interesting mix up 1639 01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:19,440 on the gameplay. 1640 01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:21,239 Speaker 2: There's a lot of cool mini games in here. There's 1641 01:07:21,239 --> 01:07:22,119 like a rhythm game one. 1642 01:07:22,159 --> 01:07:24,440 Speaker 1: There's one that's like not like Tetris, but it's kind 1643 01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:25,719 of like the I forget the name of the game 1644 01:07:25,719 --> 01:07:26,960 that it's like, but it's kind of like a weird 1645 01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:28,960 little Tetris block breaking thing. 1646 01:07:29,199 --> 01:07:29,760 Speaker 2: That's cool. 1647 01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,519 Speaker 1: That stealth section I mentioned is interesting. There's a lot 1648 01:07:32,559 --> 01:07:34,360 of fun little mini games there. But I think the 1649 01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:37,280 biggest disappointment for me is the three D sections are 1650 01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:40,920 really disappointing. Like the exploration of it, it's not very fun. 1651 01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:43,400 You never really have any ways that it mixes it up, 1652 01:07:43,719 --> 01:07:45,639 so it's like pretty much the same and like the 1653 01:07:45,679 --> 01:07:48,360 sequences you're doing, the more interesting stuff is all from 1654 01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:50,599 that two D section, and I never felt like. 1655 01:07:50,599 --> 01:07:52,360 Speaker 2: That got any better or more interesting. 1656 01:07:52,719 --> 01:07:54,840 Speaker 1: This might be a minus sport, I guess, but yes 1657 01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:57,039 and no, it's like you never leave like the desk 1658 01:07:57,199 --> 01:07:59,039 in the three D world, like I was hoping you'd 1659 01:07:59,079 --> 01:08:03,519 explore the kids room or house or more interesting areas 1660 01:08:03,519 --> 01:08:05,719 like a lot of other Like I love the esthetic 1661 01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,280 of being a little dude in a regular sized world, 1662 01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:09,239 like I love Grounded. 1663 01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:12,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, I loved tiny. 1664 01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:16,600 Speaker 1: Can is great pickman of course, these games, right, I 1665 01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,239 love that aesthetic. And I think all those ones that 1666 01:08:18,279 --> 01:08:20,399 I just mentioned in recent times have like such diverse 1667 01:08:20,399 --> 01:08:23,319 areas and it's really fun. I never really that happened 1668 01:08:23,319 --> 01:08:26,119 in the three D elements of this game. And then 1669 01:08:26,159 --> 01:08:29,359 I also like the game is very linear. There's these puzzles. 1670 01:08:29,359 --> 01:08:30,560 You get a lot of these puzzles in the game 1671 01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:32,640 that are like word puzzles, where there's a sentence written 1672 01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:34,079 in the book and a story book sort of way. 1673 01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:36,479 You chop out one of the words, and then you 1674 01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:38,920 find another sentence, you chop out another word, like the 1675 01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,560 strong wall is in your way, and then you go 1676 01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:43,439 find the word broken and you put it, and then 1677 01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:44,880 the broken wall is in your way, and you can 1678 01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:47,119 break the wall, you go through it, and that happens. 1679 01:08:47,199 --> 01:08:50,119 But then like that kind of exact same puzzle happens 1680 01:08:50,119 --> 01:08:52,319 so many times, and it's like, it's kind of cool 1681 01:08:52,319 --> 01:08:54,439 a couple of times when it feels a lot of 1682 01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:56,760 the same, and I just feel like, in general, with 1683 01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:58,439 how like something like that, I think there's a lot 1684 01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:00,680 of potential of like, ooh, what kind of weird combos 1685 01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:02,479 can I make if I mix these words and like 1686 01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:04,960 all these crazy ways. But I found there was even 1687 01:09:05,239 --> 01:09:07,359 certain sentences where I'm like, oh, this should work. This 1688 01:09:07,399 --> 01:09:10,000 is a logical sentence, but since it wasn't like the 1689 01:09:10,039 --> 01:09:12,880 one linear way to solve this puzzle, it didn't actually work. 1690 01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:14,359 Speaker 2: It didn't change the world in the way I. 1691 01:09:14,319 --> 01:09:17,439 Speaker 1: Was expecting it to, and that was disappointing when it happened. 1692 01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:21,199 And so I honestly just like through the first five 1693 01:09:21,239 --> 01:09:23,399 six hours of the game, that's how I was feeling. 1694 01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:25,079 I was just feeling like pretty luke warm in the game. 1695 01:09:25,119 --> 01:09:26,760 There's a couple cool moments, but for the most part, 1696 01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:29,279 I just wasn't that engaged by the combats. You know, 1697 01:09:29,399 --> 01:09:33,159 totally fine, but nothing that crazy. And so that's just 1698 01:09:33,239 --> 01:09:34,720 kind of how it was. I'd play for an hour 1699 01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:36,119 and I was like, I'm kind of bored. I'm gonna 1700 01:09:36,119 --> 01:09:37,680 go play Eldon Ring for a bit, I'll play UFO 1701 01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:40,439 fifty for a bit. And that was kind of what 1702 01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:44,279 was happening. But then Kirkland, the last like twenty percent 1703 01:09:44,279 --> 01:09:47,920 of the game is fucking amazing. It's the best part 1704 01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:50,720 of the game by far. There's some crazy stuff that 1705 01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:54,520 happens narratively, visually, the game takes a whole like another turn, 1706 01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:56,720 and then like it actually gets a lot harder. The 1707 01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:58,119 game is very easy for the most part, but the 1708 01:09:58,159 --> 01:10:01,600 ending section actually has some tricky stuff combat wise, puzzle wise, 1709 01:10:02,119 --> 01:10:06,479 really cool level design, really awesome, like just totally totally 1710 01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:08,880 nailed stuck the landing in that sense, Like the whole 1711 01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:13,000 ending sequence is just unreal. So that's where I'm really mixed, because, 1712 01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:14,880 like coming to this review a couple hours ago before 1713 01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:16,439 I'd finished the game, and I hadn't gone through that 1714 01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:18,279 section yet, I was like, man, I hate that. I'm 1715 01:10:18,279 --> 01:10:19,479 gonna have to say that, Like, I just don't like 1716 01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:21,119 this game. It's not for me. I don't even know 1717 01:10:21,119 --> 01:10:23,319 if I'm gonna finish it, but I'm so glad. I 1718 01:10:23,399 --> 01:10:25,079 spent that actually a couple hours with it and got 1719 01:10:25,119 --> 01:10:27,760 through that ending sequence because it really made it worth it. It 1720 01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,840 was so freaking good. So yeah, that's where that's where 1721 01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:32,560 the mix comes from. There's a lot of really high 1722 01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:34,920 highs in this, but also a lot of like mostly 1723 01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:36,600 just mid like not a ton of low lows, but 1724 01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:39,119 just some mid sequences. I also had quite a few 1725 01:10:39,159 --> 01:10:41,760 bugs in here. Also, the frame rate is dog shit 1726 01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,239 in the three D environments, like most of the time 1727 01:10:44,279 --> 01:10:47,279 it drops to like at least thirty or less. So 1728 01:10:47,319 --> 01:10:48,800 you had that experience too on PlayStation. 1729 01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:52,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, three D, Yeah, I agree with you. 1730 01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:55,479 Speaker 3: I feel like the novelty of the three D world, 1731 01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:59,239 like it definitely like even for me being like that 1732 01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:03,479 early in the game, if I feel like it's like 1733 01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:06,119 like it still looks nice for like the limited use 1734 01:11:06,159 --> 01:11:08,079 of it, but like because it is so limited, it's 1735 01:11:08,239 --> 01:11:12,279 it's just like it it feels like a path to 1736 01:11:12,319 --> 01:11:14,600 get through more so than like something that you're really 1737 01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:15,720 experiencing in because. 1738 01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:17,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's like not much you can interact with, and 1739 01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:19,239 that's what's maybe a bit disappointing. 1740 01:11:19,279 --> 01:11:20,960 Speaker 2: There's a lot of like invisible walls and stuff. 1741 01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:22,880 Speaker 1: Too, so it just doesn't feel like you can explore 1742 01:11:23,159 --> 01:11:26,119 and like the book is so small and like specific 1743 01:11:26,159 --> 01:11:27,800 that you can kind of explore arange of it and 1744 01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,319 there's maybe things defined. I never really found that in 1745 01:11:30,399 --> 01:11:31,520 the three D sections. 1746 01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:32,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you. 1747 01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:34,720 Speaker 3: I also agree with you in the sense of I 1748 01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,199 was expecting to be able to explore more of the 1749 01:11:37,199 --> 01:11:40,079 three D world, but it is it does feel very contained, 1750 01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:42,479 more so than kind of what I was expecting there. 1751 01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:45,520 And like my favorite part about the three D world 1752 01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:47,840 I like, other than like the first time it happens, 1753 01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:50,000 just because I love that, like the way that the 1754 01:11:50,039 --> 01:11:52,119 Wizard just sends you, It just casts you out into 1755 01:11:52,159 --> 01:11:54,239 the like away from the book, Like I just love 1756 01:11:54,239 --> 01:11:57,039 that element of it. But just kind of like the 1757 01:11:57,039 --> 01:11:59,359 little drawings that you that you find, then you kind 1758 01:11:59,399 --> 01:12:02,960 of just are able to like enter like just them 1759 01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:04,880 and then bounce kind of in and out like but 1760 01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:05,960 again mostly. 1761 01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:07,560 Speaker 1: A sticky note and then they'll like get you like 1762 01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:09,119 jump up a couple ledges that. 1763 01:12:09,119 --> 01:12:09,520 Speaker 2: Kind of thing. 1764 01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:12,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, So like stuff like that, and like to your point, 1765 01:12:12,199 --> 01:12:13,680 like the best parts about the three D world is 1766 01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:15,720 when you're interacting with the two D elements or like 1767 01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:21,119 jumping back into them. So yeah, it definitely, like, especially 1768 01:12:21,319 --> 01:12:24,439 thinking about how excited I was for that aspect of 1769 01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:29,159 the game, definitely disappointed. But I mean, I mean, just 1770 01:12:29,239 --> 01:12:32,640 knowing that the ending is that peak, I am, I'm 1771 01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:34,840 a lot more motivated to get through some of the 1772 01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:39,279 sections now because although like I was, I feel like, 1773 01:12:39,279 --> 01:12:40,880 because I am so early in the game, like it 1774 01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:44,720 still does feel really fresh. Difficulty, Yeah, like it feels 1775 01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:47,399 almost non existent. There's like two difficulty levels that you choose. 1776 01:12:47,399 --> 01:12:50,600 There's like Adventure Mode, which is easy, and then whatever 1777 01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:54,359 I chose, and then I still feel like it's gonna 1778 01:12:54,359 --> 01:12:56,399 be pretty hard to lose, Like it's pretty. 1779 01:12:56,159 --> 01:13:00,000 Speaker 2: Much easy or easier difficulty. 1780 01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:03,359 Speaker 3: And so I and like because like I do like 1781 01:13:03,399 --> 01:13:07,319 the puzzles, but it still feels like there's not really 1782 01:13:07,319 --> 01:13:09,199 anything in here that makes me like, oh man, like 1783 01:13:09,239 --> 01:13:11,960 I am excited to experience this game again. Like it 1784 01:13:12,039 --> 01:13:13,880 just feels like once I'm done with it, I probably 1785 01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:16,399 won't ever go back to it, even though as a 1786 01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:19,880 one time go through, like I am enjoying it. But yeah, 1787 01:13:20,159 --> 01:13:22,720 just just finding like that one word to swap out 1788 01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:25,000 in the sentence. It's cute and fun, like when it 1789 01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,399 first happens, but just keep going through that it gets 1790 01:13:28,399 --> 01:13:31,520 a little bit monotonous. So definitely see that even already 1791 01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:32,760 with how early I am. 1792 01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:36,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think for me, like the strongest puzzle games, 1793 01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:39,399 or some of the strongest puzzle games are ones where 1794 01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,520 it's just really fun to try out different ideas to 1795 01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:43,039 try and. 1796 01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:44,000 Speaker 2: Solve the puzzle. 1797 01:13:44,319 --> 01:13:46,600 Speaker 1: And obviously like Portal is like the greatest example of that, 1798 01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:49,279 but that's a very different kind of game than this is, naturally, 1799 01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:52,119 but just in general, like puzzle games where it's like, oh, 1800 01:13:52,319 --> 01:13:54,239 what could the solution be. Maybe it's like this thing 1801 01:13:54,359 --> 01:13:56,600 or that thing, and like being able to test out 1802 01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:59,000 those things quickly and find out what it is and 1803 01:13:59,159 --> 01:14:02,039 try out weird different and culminations is part of the fun, 1804 01:14:02,119 --> 01:14:04,520 whereas in this, as I mentioned, since like it is 1805 01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:06,960 a linear thing and you can't really get creative with it. 1806 01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:08,399 It's just like you just have to find out what 1807 01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:11,560 the game wants from you. It like, yeah, they're not 1808 01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:15,239 really all that engaging, which is which is too bad, 1809 01:14:15,279 --> 01:14:17,359 And that's kind of that kind of happens like through 1810 01:14:17,359 --> 01:14:19,079 the whole game. I think at the very end, there's 1811 01:14:19,079 --> 01:14:20,520 a couple of sequences that work a bit better, but 1812 01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:23,079 I also feel like some of the controls sometimes are 1813 01:14:23,119 --> 01:14:26,000 just a little sluggish or just a little janky to 1814 01:14:26,039 --> 01:14:29,439 even do what you're trying to do. Like at one point, 1815 01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:30,720 you like get the be able to like tilt the 1816 01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:32,479 book and that will like you know, things will like 1817 01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:35,439 drop down in the book, and like it's it's it's 1818 01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:37,079 just a little finicky. 1819 01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:39,319 Speaker 2: And a little janky, like no matter what. 1820 01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:41,079 Speaker 1: I even had a couple bugs where it like froze 1821 01:14:41,119 --> 01:14:42,640 my game when I was doing that and I had 1822 01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:44,680 to like reload a save, which it auto saves like 1823 01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:47,439 almost all the time, so I never really lost any 1824 01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:49,600 progress in that way, but I also just felt like 1825 01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:52,640 getting in general, like there's a sluggishness to it. You know, 1826 01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:54,600 it's gonna sound like minor problems, but it adds up 1827 01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:56,239 over the course of the game where it's like even 1828 01:14:56,319 --> 01:14:57,880 just like how long it takes for the page to 1829 01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:01,039 flip to the next page, Like the it was twice 1830 01:15:01,079 --> 01:15:03,680 as quick, like whenever you unlocked, whenever you like defeat 1831 01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:05,279 the enemies in a room, and like the door on 1832 01:15:05,399 --> 01:15:07,840 locks that goes down, I wish that was twice as quickly. 1833 01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:09,199 Speaker 2: There's just a lot of ways that it's a little 1834 01:15:09,239 --> 01:15:09,920 bit sluggish. 1835 01:15:10,199 --> 01:15:12,439 Speaker 1: And then whenever you're jumping from the two D to 1836 01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:14,520 three D world, those are like set points on the 1837 01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:16,520 map right, Like somewhere in the book there's a little 1838 01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:18,119 squiggle and that's where you can jump in and out. 1839 01:15:18,319 --> 01:15:19,760 But a lot of the sections in the game, it's 1840 01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:22,159 like there's really no real like it's just feels like 1841 01:15:22,239 --> 01:15:23,800 it makes the game take longer that I have to 1842 01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,640 walk over to this specific spot to jump out, even 1843 01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:28,680 though like in the three D world, there's no obstacles 1844 01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:30,079 stopping you to get around the book. 1845 01:15:30,159 --> 01:15:30,880 Speaker 2: So I don't know. 1846 01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:33,800 Speaker 1: I wish maybe there's a section maybe second half of 1847 01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:35,680 the game where you could just kind of freely jump 1848 01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:38,039 out of the book. And I know that would maybe 1849 01:15:38,079 --> 01:15:40,039 be make it a little bit harder to solve some 1850 01:15:40,079 --> 01:15:41,560 of these puzzles, but I think that could have just 1851 01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:43,439 if that was a quicker thing and it was a 1852 01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:44,800 bit more free, I think it could have made the 1853 01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:47,079 game have a lot more of like fast paced movement 1854 01:15:47,159 --> 01:15:49,359 and would have been cooler. I understand that it's not 1855 01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:51,119 really what they were going for here, but I just 1856 01:15:51,159 --> 01:15:52,800 found like this game's eight hours. 1857 01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:54,640 Speaker 2: That's pretty short as far as games go. I think 1858 01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:55,840 it would have been just way better. 1859 01:15:56,119 --> 01:15:58,399 Speaker 1: They shaved two hours off of it, like taking out 1860 01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:00,199 making things a little bit quicker, and then cutting you know, 1861 01:16:00,239 --> 01:16:02,399 like the more boring sequences of the sequences where you're 1862 01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:04,439 just kind of doing the same thing over again. I 1863 01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:06,039 think would have just made it like a way more 1864 01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:10,319 well rounded experience for me personally. But yeah, it's pretty 1865 01:16:10,319 --> 01:16:11,560 short game, and a lot of people can play in 1866 01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:13,760 the games are too short if they are, so, I know, 1867 01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:15,880 that's like a hard thing for developers to want to 1868 01:16:16,399 --> 01:16:19,159 make their games super duper short, especially like what's the 1869 01:16:19,159 --> 01:16:21,199 price tag on this, like fifty bucks or something like that. 1870 01:16:21,279 --> 01:16:22,880 I think, so as far as an indie game goes, 1871 01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:24,520 it's like, you know, kind of up there. 1872 01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:25,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. 1873 01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:29,359 Speaker 3: One thing that like I was hoping when the game 1874 01:16:29,399 --> 01:16:31,600 was when I first saw it, and especially now that 1875 01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:34,000 we're going through all these couch co op adventures, Shane, 1876 01:16:34,079 --> 01:16:37,159 I do wish this game was couch co op compatible, 1877 01:16:37,199 --> 01:16:39,680 and I don't see why it really can't be. Like 1878 01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:42,600 I get it, Jot is your protagonist, but you have 1879 01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:47,039 other compatriots with you, like even limit like what they 1880 01:16:47,039 --> 01:16:48,640 can do in the three year world, but allow them 1881 01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:51,319 to do something like I don't know, it just seems 1882 01:16:51,359 --> 01:16:53,600 with how much they're kind of with you, you know, 1883 01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:56,720 let someone else kind of control them. Yeah, like your 1884 01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:59,159 your ice troll guy, like he's got a weapon like like, 1885 01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:02,239 like it just seems like it could work in that sense. So, 1886 01:17:04,239 --> 01:17:06,720 like they are really cute and unique little characters to 1887 01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:10,840 just their own little personalities, his friend, the little the 1888 01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,920 little Witch in training. Like I I just do really 1889 01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:16,079 like the characters. And as I mentioned, like it already 1890 01:17:16,119 --> 01:17:17,760 reminded me of a lot of the characters that I 1891 01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:18,880 love from Adventure Times. 1892 01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:21,359 Speaker 4: So it's a cute game. 1893 01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:23,960 Speaker 3: So I wish I could, you know, enjoy it with 1894 01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:28,840 my my cute little lady, But unfortunately not if she's listening, 1895 01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:29,560 that's for sure. 1896 01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think about the combat in this game? 1897 01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:35,199 You know, it's pretty basic, like yeah Zelda stuff. It's 1898 01:17:35,199 --> 01:17:39,720 actually similar to like Tunic. It's it's kind of all 1899 01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:41,079 that ilk to it. But what do you what do 1900 01:17:41,079 --> 01:17:41,800 you think of it. 1901 01:17:42,359 --> 01:17:44,600 Speaker 3: Called the Lamb. I will defend that combat system. I 1902 01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:45,880 feel like I like it a lot more now that 1903 01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:46,920 we've been going hard. 1904 01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:51,199 Speaker 2: Especially similar I'm saying it's similar to that. I guess 1905 01:17:51,199 --> 01:17:53,199 it's better. I don't know, it's definitely. 1906 01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:54,319 Speaker 4: Good comparison alleged Zelda. 1907 01:17:54,359 --> 01:17:56,439 Speaker 3: I remember playing I don't know, the first or second 1908 01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:58,359 Zelda game a handful of years ago. 1909 01:17:58,399 --> 01:18:00,640 Speaker 4: I had it on the three DS, and. 1910 01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:04,560 Speaker 3: Man, what a dog ship game that I apologize to any 1911 01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:08,319 Zelda hardcores out there, but like, man, the new Zelda's like, 1912 01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:11,560 I mean, it's so terrible. 1913 01:18:12,039 --> 01:18:14,880 Speaker 2: Let's not a lie. Okay, let's be honest. 1914 01:18:15,399 --> 01:18:17,640 Speaker 3: I am not a fan of that combat. And that's 1915 01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:20,239 kind of what this one is. Like, it's very very basic. 1916 01:18:20,239 --> 01:18:22,039 Speaker 4: At least you have a roll and uh like a 1917 01:18:22,079 --> 01:18:23,680 jump summersault thing that you get. 1918 01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:26,960 Speaker 2: The role feels good. That's very yeah, yeah. 1919 01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:29,560 Speaker 3: For sure, Like you have a little I frame in there, 1920 01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:31,880 which is always appreciated and in a game like that. 1921 01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:33,439 But I do like how you can kind of get 1922 01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:36,159 upgrades to like you get like a sword throw ability 1923 01:18:36,159 --> 01:18:37,560 that you can kind of throat. 1924 01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:40,560 Speaker 1: That's that's my favorite part because it's it's just the 1925 01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:42,479 god of war thing where like your sword will stick 1926 01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:44,960 into walls and then you recall it like mule there 1927 01:18:45,039 --> 01:18:47,479 so and then when you upgrade it like will do 1928 01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,079 damage like each like as it's spinning to enemies. 1929 01:18:50,319 --> 01:18:51,239 Speaker 2: Ship so you can just. 1930 01:18:51,199 --> 01:18:53,560 Speaker 1: Like grind them up and feels really good. So that 1931 01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:56,399 was my definitely my favorite upgrade, the meat Grinder. I 1932 01:18:56,479 --> 01:19:00,399 like it, So yeah, I like I. I I definitely 1933 01:19:00,399 --> 01:19:01,880 wouldn't put it as my favorite part of the game 1934 01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:04,279 by any means, Like I still think the presentation is 1935 01:19:04,359 --> 01:19:08,960 my favorite and like the actual characters themselves, just again 1936 01:19:09,119 --> 01:19:12,680 Adventure Time comparison there. But yeah, combat it's it's nothing 1937 01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:15,359 nothing to really, It's like you know games that we 1938 01:19:15,359 --> 01:19:18,760 were just talking about, like combats as in depth as 1939 01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:20,800 like elden Ring for example, Like like you play that 1940 01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:22,720 and then you go to this, it's feels like you 1941 01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:25,000 throw it in like a you know, little cousin's. 1942 01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:25,359 Speaker 4: Hands or something. 1943 01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:28,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, and they'd be fine even on the the action 1944 01:19:29,079 --> 01:19:30,399 difficulty whatever the hell it is. 1945 01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:31,640 Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Yeah. 1946 01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:35,680 Speaker 1: No, I I historically on side quest, like I don't 1947 01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:37,039 like these kind of combat systems. 1948 01:19:37,039 --> 01:19:37,560 Speaker 2: I don't like this. 1949 01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:39,800 Speaker 1: I don't think it's particularly engaging. I do like the 1950 01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:42,239 sword throw, but that's kind of where it ends. I 1951 01:19:42,239 --> 01:19:44,680 think for me though, like it's at least passable here 1952 01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:48,239 because none of the combat sequences are that hard. 1953 01:19:48,399 --> 01:19:49,600 Speaker 2: Like I don't think I ever. 1954 01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:54,800 Speaker 1: Died in actual combat in this game, I really only 1955 01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:56,840 died if I like fell off a ledge or like 1956 01:19:57,239 --> 01:19:59,319 ran into a laser beam that like insta kills you, 1957 01:19:59,359 --> 01:20:00,920 like those kind of things which are meant to be 1958 01:20:01,319 --> 01:20:04,520 kind of quick death that revive you right away. But like, yeah, 1959 01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:06,239 the combat and even like all the boss fights in 1960 01:20:06,279 --> 01:20:08,880 the game are like different mini games. None of them 1961 01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:11,560 are like using this actual combat system. And a couple exceptions, 1962 01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:14,439 there's a couple like maybe harder sequences, but even those 1963 01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:16,199 aren't too bad. But for the most part, like most 1964 01:20:16,279 --> 01:20:19,560 enemies in this game, even without the like sword upgrade, 1965 01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:22,359 we'll go down in like three hits, which is perfect. 1966 01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:23,319 Speaker 2: It's super quick. 1967 01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:25,920 Speaker 1: There's no like lock on, like it's pretty basic. It's 1968 01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:28,760 pretty simple, and so I think that's for me. It 1969 01:20:29,079 --> 01:20:31,680 works enough. Like I you know, if I replayed the game, 1970 01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:34,600 I I would probably just go on story difficulty just 1971 01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:38,119 to get through it even quicker. But that's something I 1972 01:20:38,119 --> 01:20:39,920 even like in Tunic, as much as I love Tunic. 1973 01:20:40,079 --> 01:20:41,479 At some point I just turned on the God mode 1974 01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:43,520 because I didn't want to mess around with the combat anymore. 1975 01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:45,600 I just wanted to like do the fun exploring stuff. 1976 01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:48,880 I didn't really care for the you know, combat that's 1977 01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:51,720 not really that interesting, so kind of the same case here. 1978 01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:54,399 But yeah, it was, it was fine, it was it 1979 01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:55,079 was good enough. 1980 01:20:56,199 --> 01:20:56,640 Speaker 2: Kirkland. 1981 01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:58,479 Speaker 1: There is a I won't spoil it, but there is 1982 01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:02,720 a Lord of the Rings reference featuring a paper towel. 1983 01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:03,520 Speaker 2: That's all I'll say. 1984 01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:06,359 Speaker 1: It is my like, you know, spoiler free that what 1985 01:21:06,399 --> 01:21:08,920 it could be that I really enjoyed. I thought it 1986 01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:12,520 was like a very fun, a fun tasteful reference that 1987 01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:15,800 was h yeah, it fit for the world as well. 1988 01:21:16,319 --> 01:21:17,239 Speaker 4: Nice, I'm excited. 1989 01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:17,640 Speaker 2: Good. 1990 01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:19,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't know what else there is to say. 1991 01:21:20,039 --> 01:21:22,840 Like the story, it's it's weird. It's kind of cut 1992 01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:25,279 in two halves where like the setup of the game 1993 01:21:25,399 --> 01:21:27,840 is that, like the Plucky Squire is a children's book, 1994 01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:30,439 and you're playing through the children's book, and then at 1995 01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:33,680 some point the villain realizes he's in a book and 1996 01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:36,159 wants to change it. So then you know, he goes 1997 01:21:36,159 --> 01:21:38,600 about going into the three D world changing things that 1998 01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:41,119 sort of stuff. And like the story book that they 1999 01:21:41,199 --> 01:21:45,079 start with, like that's intentionally very generic, right, it's supposed 2000 01:21:45,079 --> 01:21:46,760 to be like that's kind of what the story's telling 2001 01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:48,279 with it, and then it's supposed to get a little 2002 01:21:48,279 --> 01:21:50,720 bit more interesting when like the guy is changing things. 2003 01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:52,199 Speaker 2: I don't. 2004 01:21:52,399 --> 01:21:54,720 Speaker 1: I don't think it's great. It's not it's not great, 2005 01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:58,079 it's not terrible. It's just like a totally fine story. 2006 01:21:58,159 --> 01:21:59,760 Even like when we get to that section that I 2007 01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:01,600 really like at the end of the game, there's some cool, 2008 01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:03,960 like kind of meta narrative stuff going on, I guess, 2009 01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:06,079 I would say, but like even like the actual plot 2010 01:22:06,119 --> 01:22:06,600 line and. 2011 01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:08,279 Speaker 2: Stories like very basic. 2012 01:22:08,319 --> 01:22:10,039 Speaker 1: It's evil guy trying to take over for the world 2013 01:22:10,319 --> 01:22:12,079 and you have to stop him, and it never really 2014 01:22:12,079 --> 01:22:15,319 gets anything beyond that, with a couple like small sort 2015 01:22:15,319 --> 01:22:17,920 of exceptions to it. So yeah, I don't know, it 2016 01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:20,439 was it was totally fine. I think the dialogue sometimes 2017 01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:22,479 it was really funny. But I think maybe another big 2018 01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:23,840 complaint I have with this game is like it's way 2019 01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:26,960 too talky, and it's like not super quick to skip text. 2020 01:22:27,079 --> 01:22:29,399 You can't just like skip cut scene, like you have 2021 01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:31,600 to mash through it all. And it got to a 2022 01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:33,000 point in the second half of the game where I 2023 01:22:33,159 --> 01:22:35,720 was just mashing through and then sometimes I would mash 2024 01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:38,000 through so quickly that like I didn't see my hint 2025 01:22:38,039 --> 01:22:39,960 to the puzzle. So then I was like, no idea 2026 01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:41,199 what to do here. So obviously that's a bit of 2027 01:22:41,239 --> 01:22:43,399 a me problem. But I think in general what I 2028 01:22:43,399 --> 01:22:46,520 said there, like the page flipping takes too long, doors 2029 01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:48,960 unlocking takes too long. I also just like, I feel 2030 01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:51,319 like ninety percent of the rooms you enter before you 2031 01:22:51,399 --> 01:22:54,760 can even walk, your character slowly walks over to an area, 2032 01:22:55,119 --> 01:22:57,439 talks to someone in a cutscene format, and then it 2033 01:22:57,439 --> 01:22:58,760 takes a couple of seconds to get out of that 2034 01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:01,039 cut scene and then you're playing again. And so in general, 2035 01:23:01,079 --> 01:23:03,319 like it just, oh my god, it's a little slow. 2036 01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:05,479 So for a game that's telling like what is very 2037 01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:07,960 what is a very generic story, it's like, oh, okay, 2038 01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:09,920 I feel like I wish we could have slimmed out 2039 01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:11,800 some of that a little bit. That's where I think 2040 01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:13,640 maybe a little bit more interesting stuff in the three 2041 01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:15,600 D world and a little bit less of like the 2042 01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:18,399 two D storybook, like rip out twenty thirty pages out 2043 01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:20,479 of the story book. I would have been much happier 2044 01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:22,680 with that as a as a balance of it. But 2045 01:23:23,279 --> 01:23:25,600 I don't know, maybe that's just me, but I don't know, 2046 01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:28,119 what are you thinking of the story or I guess 2047 01:23:28,159 --> 01:23:30,920 just world in general from your quarter the way through 2048 01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:32,199 the game experience. 2049 01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:35,960 Speaker 3: I feel like I feel like the magic of everything 2050 01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:39,119 together like is like up, like it's bringing the story 2051 01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:44,159 higher up.
