1
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,759

00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,160
a hot a minute since my last cameo appearance on

side Quest.

9
00:00:24,679 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, cameo appearance. Is it ever a cameo? Where are you?

10
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,519
Speaker 1: Just like cameo would be like you appear in the

11
00:00:30,559 --> 00:00:32,799
background or you're in there for like two minutes?

12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,799
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, wrong word, wrong word.

13
00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:38,399
Speaker 1: But yeah, it has been while because since the Switch

14
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:40,799
Too has been shown off, you have not been here.

15
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,560
So we're gonna talk about that today. We're also gonna

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,320
talk about the Shadow Drop, which was the Eldest Hills

all that good stuff. I think we're just gonna hop

22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,719
right into it. You know, what is a good week

23
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:05,560
for your boy because two of my all time top

24
00:01:05,599 --> 00:01:08,920
ten all time favorite games got re released this week.

25
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,879
The you know, of course Oblivion is the big juicy one,

26
00:01:10,879 --> 00:01:13,040
but I also want to quickly shut out that on

27
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,959
Nintendo Switch Online the game Boy Advance app, they released

28
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,319
fire Emblem the Sacred Stones on there this week, which

29
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:21,519
is my favorite Firemblum game. You know, it's one of

30
00:01:21,519 --> 00:01:23,480
my top ten all time favorite games. The game I've

31
00:01:23,519 --> 00:01:26,040
revisited a million times. So if anyone who has not

32
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,200
played fire Emblem or that game in particular, go check

33
00:01:30,239 --> 00:01:32,560
it out. It's great, it holds up, it's super unique.

34
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,640
It was also like, I think the first tactics game

35
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,040
I ever played back in the day too, So if

36
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,640
you're like not big on the genre, like maybe it's

37
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,319
a good one to jump into there as well. So,

38
00:01:40,879 --> 00:01:42,760
you know, the fact that they released that Antenna Switch

39
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,000
Online and then also Oblivion onto game Pass, like just

40
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:46,439
two things.

41
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 3: Getting two of my favorite games getting.

42
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: Re released and then like just onto subscription services I'm

43
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,560
already part of. Like hell yeah, I'm doing very good

44
00:01:54,599 --> 00:01:57,000
this week. I don't know if I'm gonna play Sacred

45
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,200
Stones right now because it's busy with a million other game,

46
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,280
but next time I'm like on the move with my switch.

47
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,040
I'll definitely be booting up a I don't know, probably

48
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,639
my eighteenth playthrough of Sacred Stones, so go check that out.

49
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,199
But of course, the big, juicy, spicy one is the

50
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:17,159
Elder Scrolls for Oblivion Remastered, which has been heavily rumored

51
00:02:17,199 --> 00:02:19,400
for months and months and months. I feel like the

52
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,120
rumors really really picked up around the time of the

53
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,080
Xbox Developer Direct, which happens every January, because there was

54
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,800
talks like, oh, there's a mystery game, an unannounced game

55
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,800
that's gonna appear in This ended up being n JA

56
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,960
guid In. But yeah, people were saying maybe it was

57
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,400
the Oblivion remaster, Whi's been talked about to that point

58
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,879
it didn't happen, and then I feel like every month

59
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,840
since it's been like this month, it's gonna be the

60
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,800
Oblivion remaster, it's gonna shadow drop, We're gonna get information

61
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:45,039
on this.

62
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 3: It's coming, It's coming, and it.

63
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,599
Speaker 1: Just like, wasn't it to the point where it's like,

64
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,159
I believe that this exists, but I'm also trying to

65
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,319
let my heart get in on this and believe this

66
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,280
and then it not be true and then me be disappointed.

67
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,919
Because I love this game so very much. But finally

68
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,800
this week it got announced and Shadow dropped in the

69
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,000
same kind of announcement they did, like a twenty minute

70
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,919
trailer essentially breaking down what the game is, talking about,

71
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,800
what's what's different, what's new about it, and then they

72
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,879
dropped it same day, one hundred and twenty gigabytes of

73
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,599
juice in there. So it took me like a full

74
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,479
twenty four hours to download it because my internet is garbage.

75
00:03:18,039 --> 00:03:20,919
Then finally I've jumped in and played it, so we're

76
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,800
gonna talk about some of that and you've been you've

77
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,439
did you get a few hours at.

78
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:25,719
Speaker 3: Least with this? With this remo?

79
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,479
Speaker 2: Yes? Oh yes, good stuff.

80
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,199
Speaker 1: So remind me here because obviously you me Kirkland all

81
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,840
big like Skyrim fans as well, and I feel like

82
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:34,800
you and Kirkland talk a lot about Skyrim. I know

83
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,400
you're an Oblivion fan as well, but like, where do

84
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:39,400
you compare that? Like are you a bigger Skyrim fan

85
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,439
than Oblivion? How you have you put like tens of

86
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:44,080
hours in Oblivion a hundred hundreds of hours? Like where's

87
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,879
your Oblivion? Did you play it back in the day?

88
00:03:45,919 --> 00:03:47,560
Did you play it more? Recently, I feel like you

89
00:03:47,639 --> 00:03:50,439
need to remind me on your Oblivion fandom here.

90
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: I would say, like my Oblivion fandom that stems when

91
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,280
I was I was very young, young teenager. I remember

92
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:02,719
going to one of my friend my friend's house and

93
00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:05,560
he always had like the latest and greatest stuff. I

94
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,759
remember going to his house and he's playing Xbox like, oh,

95
00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:09,520
look at this game. This is Assassin's Creed and I

96
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,240
was like, oh my god, this is great. Played with

97
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,840
them all throughout Christmas Eve. That was wonderful. Another day

98
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,319
I went over to his house, He's like, check this out.

99
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,839
This is Oblivion. Other scrolls like, oh my god, this

100
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,399
game is awesome. And so it was not long before

101
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,839
after that I ended up buying it for PC. It

102
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,959
was a Gaming Year edition. I still have it actually

103
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,519
in one of my shelves my totes, but got that

104
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,720
for PC that came with Nights the Nine Shivering Aisles

105
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:41,279
expansion and just yeah, I played the living daylights out

106
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,680
of that game. I remember completing the main storyline. What

107
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:48,879
an ending that game has, and in terms of just

108
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,240
like game intros is probably like top three for me

109
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,519
for just epic because that score kicks in you're spinning

110
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,560
around the Imperial City and you just get it ends

111
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,920
off that narration from like the Emperor, and it's like

112
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,519
holy shit, like I'm in it, i am in tam Reel,

113
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,879
We're going to Syraell, let's let's fucking go. It's it's

114
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,680
so good. And yeah, just that Oblivion just has a

115
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,319
very special place in my heart. Was between the music

116
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,839
and just the storylines and just the Dark Brotherhood, I've

117
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,639
always favored the Dark Brotherhood storyline more and Oblivion than

118
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:27,240
over Skyrim's version of it. That being said, I've sunk

119
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,000
a lot of time in the Skyrim too as I

120
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,160
got older and I played Skyrim. I really really enjoyed

121
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,480
that and put a lot more time into it, but

122
00:05:32,519 --> 00:05:36,839
it just did not feel the same as Oblivion. Oblivion

123
00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:37,639
has just got that.

124
00:05:37,959 --> 00:05:39,639
Speaker 1: Still holds that special place in your house.

125
00:05:40,079 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: It still does still does, yeah.

126
00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 3: Right on.

127
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah for me, you know, I've talked about older scrolls

128
00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:49,279
a lot, and I've probably not talked about Oblivion maybe

129
00:05:49,319 --> 00:05:51,079
as much as I should have, because like this is

130
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,399
still one of my top ten all time favorite games,

131
00:05:53,399 --> 00:05:56,000
but I think it gets overshadowed for me just because like,

132
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,720
well a Marwind is like you know, my favorite single

133
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,800
player game of all time, so it's just like higher

134
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,480
on that ranking. So I end up when I have

135
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,399
the opportunity to geek out by elder scrolls, I go

136
00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:08,480
to Marrowin because that was a game I played as

137
00:06:08,519 --> 00:06:10,000
a kid when I was like too young. I didn't

138
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,920
understand like anything. I didn't, you know, I was missing

139
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,079
so many of the mechanics at the time, and over

140
00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:17,360
the years I've kind of learned more and more about it,

141
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:19,360
and I still do Marrowin play through every like two

142
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,160
or three years at the very latest kind of thing.

143
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,600
And then I remember, you know, I have very similar

144
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,639
situation to you. Was like, yeah, my cousin always had

145
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,079
all the new consoles. I was always a few years behind.

146
00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:31,920
And I remember going to his place one time and

147
00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:33,879
either if he had rented or he had a copy

148
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,879
of Oblivion. And so coming from me playing Marrowin for

149
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,560
years and years and years, I don't even think I

150
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,079
knew Oblivion existed. I just didn't even have that tech

151
00:06:41,399 --> 00:06:44,439
in my you know, little Rutland house. So go over

152
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,959
to his place just seeing Oblivion and being just blown

153
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,240
away by the visuals of it, by just like the

154
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,439
way it evolved of course, the music just gets in there,

155
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,160
like the Dark Brotherhood, which you know, there is a

156
00:06:54,199 --> 00:06:56,800
Dark Brotherhood e Quest in Marwin, but it's not really

157
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,680
the same. You know, there's Fighters, Guild and may just

158
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,800
a lot of the same things. But like the Dark Brotherhood,

159
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,959
which is such an iconic one, is not quite the

160
00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:04,120
same as it was in Oblivion.

161
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:04,759
Speaker 3: And then, like.

162
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: Skyrim, tried to recapture that, as you mentioned, maybe not

163
00:07:07,319 --> 00:07:10,120
super successfully. And then eventually when I got a three

164
00:07:10,279 --> 00:07:13,319
sixty got Oblivion. I think it was probably the Game

165
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:14,600
of the Year edition as well, because I had all

166
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:18,040
the DLCs played that game just you know, hundreds of

167
00:07:18,079 --> 00:07:20,759
hours there, and then later on got it on PC

168
00:07:21,279 --> 00:07:23,079
and then played it for like hundreds of hours there

169
00:07:23,079 --> 00:07:25,319
as well. I did download some mods, but I'm mostly

170
00:07:25,399 --> 00:07:27,279
a vanilla guy when it comes to these kind of games,

171
00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:29,639
even if they are super janky, I kind of love

172
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,759
them for the jank at the same time, and I'm

173
00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:33,600
kind of just used to that at this point in time.

174
00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:36,439
So yeah, Oblivion a game I love very very much,

175
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:40,079
and you know, I went on to love Skyrim as well,

176
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,199
but it doesn't quite have the same uh space in

177
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,680
my heart as Oblivion and Marwin dude, just that duo

178
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:48,639
of like all time favorite RPGs and games for me.

179
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,879
Speaker 3: So yeah, I love this game.

180
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: And I've always said, like for years on on geek first,

181
00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:57,959
whether probably even before side Quest times, like what are

182
00:07:57,959 --> 00:08:00,800
they gonna do? So like they have Elder Scrolls iron release,

183
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,279
and then like okay, they go make Fallout four. Eventually

184
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:06,120
they made follo Out seventy six, and then we know

185
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,959
they're doing Starfield and like we got the announcement for

186
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,079
Elder Scroll six, but it seems like years and years away.

187
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,120
It's like, what are they gonna do in the meantime?

188
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:13,759
Speaker 2: What is Elders?

189
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,079
Speaker 1: Like what are Elder Scrolls fans gonna chew on? Because like,

190
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,199
of course there's the MMO and some people are into

191
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,000
that there hasn't been a spinoff in a.

192
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 3: While, like Blades or like the card.

193
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,319
Speaker 1: Game, Like we haven't had a new one of those,

194
00:08:23,439 --> 00:08:25,279
Like what are they gonna do? And I feel like

195
00:08:25,279 --> 00:08:28,000
a remaster remake is a great path to go, but

196
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,920
it's also something they've never done. But this has never

197
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,560
like done that for their games other than like you know,

198
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,039
Skyrim getting like updated versions for the consoles.

199
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 3: As it came out.

200
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,399
Speaker 1: But we haven't got one like something like that for

201
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,360
an older game, And I've always said that, like I

202
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,000
think Oblivion would be the best one to go for

203
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,639
because it's just a bit more modern, probably easier to

204
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,639
transfer it over. And I feel like in a lot

205
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:48,840
of ways it's kind of aged worse than Marwind in

206
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:51,840
some ways, just because like Marwin's combat is aged horrendously,

207
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,759
it's awful, but like Oblivion's lighting is maybe some of

208
00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:58,200
the worst lighting ever, Like it's horrendous. But I do

209
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:00,840
love the look of that game, but it is very

210
00:09:00,919 --> 00:09:03,000
glowy and weird and things are way too bright and

211
00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:05,399
it looks strange, and you know, you're in a fantasy world,

212
00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:07,159
so it makes sense. But I think that was like

213
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,840
the first thing that struck me about playing this remake

214
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,840
is like, oh, this game, this remaster might have the

215
00:09:12,879 --> 00:09:15,639
best lighting I've ever seen any video game, and Oblivion

216
00:09:15,639 --> 00:09:17,480
has like some of the worst, like three D light

217
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:18,360
in any game ever.

218
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: Is to have that, like just.

219
00:09:19,919 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: That bridge gap now is really really entertaining. But yeah,

220
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,559
tell me, like what did you do because this is

221
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,200
the game you've played many times before, Like when you

222
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:31,399
boot this game up this remaster first time, like what

223
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:32,519
kind of character did you make?

224
00:09:32,879 --> 00:09:33,879
Speaker 2: And like what did you do?

225
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: Like did you go do some main quest stuff? Did

226
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:37,840
you go straight for I want to do Dark Brotherhood again?

227
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,519
Did you go and explore things you've never done before?

228
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:41,879
Like what was the where did your heart take you

229
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:42,639
on this journey?

230
00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:48,279
Speaker 2: So my go to always is dark Elf. I'm always

231
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,759
drucking me too nice that fire resistance and yeah, it's

232
00:09:52,799 --> 00:09:55,320
just it goes a long way. I've always wanted to

233
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,039
be an Argonian and this a few other classes I

234
00:09:57,039 --> 00:09:58,480
always wanted to try, but you know what, I'm just

235
00:09:59,159 --> 00:10:02,279
true and true dark House. So that's that's my go to.

236
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:07,159
And then once I get in to oblivion, usually my

237
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,279
first first thing I ever do is I go for

238
00:10:10,279 --> 00:10:14,519
the fin gleam. That's that's just uh, it just it

239
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,720
really helps out in the long run, and I feel

240
00:10:17,759 --> 00:10:21,759
like it's it's justified at this point with the night vision,

241
00:10:21,919 --> 00:10:24,240
the water breathing, all that stuff, Like how how can

242
00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:25,759
you not? It goes a long way and it just

243
00:10:25,759 --> 00:10:28,279
looks super super badass. So I usually get that until

244
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,360
I get more stronger magic than can kind of help

245
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,360
me go along. So it won't be long before I

246
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:37,919
go to like some I think Coral has like a

247
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,039
mage guild or mage store that I can start getting

248
00:10:40,039 --> 00:10:40,840
some spells and whatnot.

249
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I forget what the mastery is for that one,

250
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
because I haven't been there yet in this playthrough, so

251
00:10:45,039 --> 00:10:47,960
I forget what their school is that they teach.

252
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but until then, I went through into some of

253
00:10:51,759 --> 00:10:54,440
the main stories. So I closed the first oblivion gate

254
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,120
at Kavac, help them help liberate that a little bit.

255
00:10:58,279 --> 00:11:01,120
And so once that's kind of like squared away, then

256
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,399
now I feel like, Okay, now I'm more open. I

257
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,960
read I found the descendant of your septum, got him

258
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,320
set up in like the Blade Stronghold, so he's out there.

259
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:15,480
So now I Martin. Yeah, I did not sleep, and

260
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,799
so I had like all my levels were like going

261
00:11:17,919 --> 00:11:19,200
up and up and up, and I thought, okay, I

262
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,960
need to go and find like a bed to rest

263
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,759
and like actually stack up my new attributes and whatnot.

264
00:11:24,759 --> 00:11:27,080
So I went into that, and now now I'm feeling good.

265
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,200
I'm feeling great. My character is at a pretty good spot.

266
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,080
I got some coin, got some armor, got some levels up,

267
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:34,360
and so now my goal is going to be working

268
00:11:34,399 --> 00:11:37,519
towards the Dark Brotherhood quest line getting bad and then

269
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,840
working on my magic one of my favorite things back

270
00:11:39,879 --> 00:11:44,440
in the day. And I wish that Skyrim allowed this.

271
00:11:44,519 --> 00:11:47,879
Skyrim only had scrolls that were really hard to find

272
00:11:47,919 --> 00:11:50,759
that allowed you to have invisibility for a set amount

273
00:11:50,799 --> 00:11:54,440
of time, and in Oblivion you could actually learn a

274
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,080
spell that you could conjure every like sixty seconds or

275
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,200
something like that. Don't quote me on that, but you

276
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,120
could basically reuse it, not once a day, but every

277
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,799
so often in a span of time where you could

278
00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:07,960
just go invisible. It was like a chameleon or something

279
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:08,200
like that.

280
00:12:08,279 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: And so, yeah, chameleon is like invisibility that doesn't end

281
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:15,360
once you attack. Yeah, it's just like but it's like

282
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,200
a more percentage base usually, so it's like you get

283
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,039
like ten percent chameleon. But of course, like you know, Skyrim,

284
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,440
I think is sanded off a lot of the edges

285
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,480
of like crazy broken stuff you could do, and like

286
00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:26,559
Marrow when even going back to like Daggerfile, I feel

287
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,519
like those games were super broken and they've gotten less

288
00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:31,159
broken over time, but Oblivion still had enough brokenness where

289
00:12:31,159 --> 00:12:33,159
I remember, yeah, one of my friends, which just not

290
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,360
something you could do with you'll, had a lot of

291
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:36,279
money or a higher level, but he had like, yeah,

292
00:12:36,279 --> 00:12:38,159
like four or five different armor pieces of whatever the

293
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,360
maximum could wear, all with a percentage of chameleons that

294
00:12:40,399 --> 00:12:43,159
he was at one hundred percent chameleon all the times,

295
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,200
are just always invisible, even when you attack and stuff.

296
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,440
It's like, that's the kind of crazy stuff. I love

297
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:49,679
that you can still do in this And you can

298
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,559
still craft spells in this game, which is something they

299
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,720
removed in Skyrimen, so you can just do wacky crazy

300
00:12:54,759 --> 00:12:58,679
stuff still, which I I just I you know, I

301
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,639
love that jank, and I love the ability like break

302
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:01,639
the game to some extent.

303
00:13:01,759 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 3: So yeah, shouts to chameleon and invisibility.

304
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean that whole concept of going to

305
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,480
visible just helps so much when you're becoming an assassin.

306
00:13:10,519 --> 00:13:13,159
And the Dark Brotherhood really really liked that. And I just

307
00:13:13,159 --> 00:13:15,080
remember the whole hideout that they had. We can go

308
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,320
in there and all the other assassins that were around.

309
00:13:17,399 --> 00:13:19,960
That was cool. And I'll never forget too, just being

310
00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:22,840
randomly bit by a vampire one day and it's like,

311
00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:25,399
what the fuck is this? I can't go outside anymore?

312
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,639
This is absolute bullshit, And now I'm.

313
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: Understats just cracked and you can just fly around like

314
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,440
destroy everything, but then you absolutely not die in the sunlight.

315
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 3: It's so yeah, fun, high risk, high reward, for sure.

316
00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: It is. It is. Eventually, I'd like to get strong

317
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,240
enough so I could go to the Shivering Aisles because

318
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,440
I remember, yeah, weeks later, after going over with my

319
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,960
friend's house, he's like, look at this. I got the

320
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,440
expansion and it was cool because he had it on

321
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,879
Xbox and so he actually bought the expansion when expansions

322
00:13:53,879 --> 00:13:56,559
were actually like discs, So he had the Shiving Aisles

323
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,639
that was like a separate disc for the Xbox. We

324
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,960
said ned to put in. And so I remember when

325
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,639
he had that and he was all like raving about

326
00:14:02,639 --> 00:14:04,480
it and he was showing me like share go Rath

327
00:14:04,519 --> 00:14:07,159
the show. Grath was just like a fucking lunatic, like

328
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,960
Intestines as a total lunatic. So I can't wait to

329
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,679
get there. And like the this game shadow dropping, I

330
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,600
was not expecting that. I remember seeing the trailer tease

331
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,919
on on Monday, and then I went to work on

332
00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:25,039
Tuesday and then my one will work buddy, he's like, oh,

333
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,000
look here's the trailer. They dropped it like what it's out,

334
00:14:29,159 --> 00:14:32,039
so like I want to play more Assassin's Cree Shadows

335
00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:34,200
and I want to play Like the other day I

336
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,879
was like, oh, it would be nice to play Little

337
00:14:35,919 --> 00:14:38,360
Call of Duty, but like no, just Oblivion. It's sitting

338
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,320
there and so putting the hours, and I want to

339
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,120
play more this weekend. It's just it's so good.

340
00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 3: M hmm.

341
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:44,639
Speaker 2: Yeah.

342
00:14:44,639 --> 00:14:47,639
Speaker 1: I mean I think what you've just like highlighted saying

343
00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:51,240
it directly is just like this is so authentic to

344
00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:53,879
what that original game is, Like it is a remaster.

345
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,279
It looks and feels and sounds and like smells like

346
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,639
it's a remake, but it's like, no, this is a remaster.

347
00:14:59,679 --> 00:15:01,320
I don't know how they did it of like taking

348
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,080
that original janky Bethesda engine and but then like overhauling

349
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,799
it through Unreal Engine five. I have no idea how

350
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,799
the tech works on something like that, but like this

351
00:15:08,879 --> 00:15:12,360
game plays and feels, uh, you know, it smells and

352
00:15:12,399 --> 00:15:15,120
tastes and all that good stuff like Oblivion. But then

353
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,159
it's just like obviously looks a whole lot better, and

354
00:15:17,159 --> 00:15:19,320
then they've fixed some things here there. The UI, I

355
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,039
think is something that definitely needs some improvement. That was

356
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,879
like special specific specifically with the console version, but like, well,

357
00:15:26,919 --> 00:15:28,879
I think that was that was issue here, Like for Marwin,

358
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,960
that was because Marwin was on Xbox, the original Xbox,

359
00:15:32,159 --> 00:15:35,080
and they had a different UI for that. Marwin's UI

360
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,399
on PC. I think it's still maybe one of my

361
00:15:37,399 --> 00:15:40,200
favorite UIs in all video games, and I wish they

362
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,159
would do more of that, But it's like since then

363
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,360
they've kind of simplified it, and now like the console

364
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,279
NPC version just has the same UI. It makes sense

365
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:49,039
then you only have to build it once instead of

366
00:15:49,039 --> 00:15:52,240
like two different versions for two different systems. But that

367
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,519
was like an issue with Oblivion is they tried to

368
00:15:54,519 --> 00:15:57,120
find some in between something that was good for PC

369
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,279
players but also worked for console players and controllers, and

370
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,200
instead they just like kind of had a bad menu

371
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,279
that's like really difficult and you're flipping through tabs all

372
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:06,639
the time and it takes forever to do things, and

373
00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:08,159
I feel like that, you know, they've simplified a lot

374
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,720
of that, so they've kind of just improved it, but

375
00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:13,879
like it also is still a very janky game, which

376
00:16:13,919 --> 00:16:15,840
is like one of the reasons why I love Oblivion

377
00:16:15,879 --> 00:16:18,440
so much. And like even in the video the twenty

378
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,919
minute long video, Todd Howard like he kind of does

379
00:16:20,919 --> 00:16:23,200
a little wink and nodge and he's like oblivion has

380
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,200
a certain charm to it.

381
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 3: That's the word he uses.

382
00:16:26,159 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: And then that is a good word, a fitting word,

383
00:16:27,759 --> 00:16:30,399
but like charm, slash also jank. You know, it's kind

384
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,440
of like why we love this game so much, and like,

385
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,919
you know, the physics of it is something I wondered

386
00:16:34,919 --> 00:16:36,960
if like that would still be in here, considering it's

387
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,000
in a new engine, and like that's something I kind

388
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,799
of expect only through Bethesda's engines.

389
00:16:40,879 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 3: Is the ability to like go into any.

390
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: Building, pick up a bowl of apples and throw the

391
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,919
apples on the ground, and like that's just a funny,

392
00:16:46,919 --> 00:16:48,919
goofy thing you can do, which I always used to

393
00:16:48,919 --> 00:16:50,919
do when I would do like a thieves Guild quest.

394
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,960
Now I have to go steal something from someone's house,

395
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,200
I would always like trash the place.

396
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,639
Speaker 3: I would throw all their food on the.

397
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,159
Speaker 1: Ground, knock everything over, and like, you know, it didn't

398
00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:00,720
actually it was not like the game was reading my

399
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,440
action there and like rewarding me with a dialogue option

400
00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:05,279
or something. But it was just something I would do

401
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,480
for fun and it's like this game still has that,

402
00:17:07,559 --> 00:17:10,039
and like it's kind of broken in a different way

403
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,200
that I don't even remember the original believe in having

404
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,079
where like I went in a couple of Majors Guild

405
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,240
charter buildings and man, I was just walking around and

406
00:17:17,279 --> 00:17:19,079
like every time I turn around, I feel like more

407
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,440
books are just flying off shelves and just falling on

408
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,519
the ground, and like clothes are jank, you know, and

409
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,799
like falling on the ground, and you know what, I

410
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:28,599
would not have it any other way, you know, It's

411
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,599
just it's part of the magic of this game.

412
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,319
Speaker 3: Is that jank. It's the last charm.

413
00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:34,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, I feel like it's just it's crazy how

414
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,400
much it fits and like it just looks better. But

415
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,759
they have the same sound effects even something like they

416
00:17:39,799 --> 00:17:40,400
talked about.

417
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 3: How they they added new dialogue. You know.

418
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: Part of the issue with Oblivion and some of the

419
00:17:44,039 --> 00:17:46,480
immersion of it is like they didn't they just only

420
00:17:46,519 --> 00:17:48,160
had a certain amount of I guess voice actors of

421
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,720
voice lines they could have, and so a lot of

422
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,960
the different races end up having the same voice, but

423
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,039
it doesn't really fit with what they look like, and

424
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,200
so they added new It might be the same dialogue,

425
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,720
but just with new voice actors, and like it just

426
00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:02,079
seamlessly fits. Like, I don't know, have you found anything

427
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,039
so far that you've been like, Oh, I don't I

428
00:18:04,039 --> 00:18:06,359
don't like this change, or this doesn't feel like Oblivion,

429
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,000
or it doesn't it doesn't fit in.

430
00:18:08,079 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 3: It's it's too uncanny. Is there anything but anything like.

431
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: That for you so far yet that doesn't doesn't fit

432
00:18:12,799 --> 00:18:14,279
in with that vision of what Oblivion is?

433
00:18:14,319 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 2: Too, No, because I feel like it's evolved into a

434
00:18:16,839 --> 00:18:24,160
very modern esque, uh well style game, Like there's nothing

435
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,079
that's really changed that has caught me off guard. I

436
00:18:26,079 --> 00:18:30,240
mean the layout, not your inventory and tabs and whatnot,

437
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,119
but just the way I think when you load up

438
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,880
into your game, and the way you have your HP,

439
00:18:34,079 --> 00:18:38,079
your man and everything that is more like Skyrim looking

440
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,960
like yeah, the stamina bar it looks yeah, yeah, So

441
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,680
I can appreciate that. And I feel like there may

442
00:18:43,759 --> 00:18:45,920
be like subtle little things from Skyrim that they've kind

443
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,960
of incorporated and sprinkled into hear, but nothing major, no

444
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:54,000
huge overhaul to to change it. It's just they've rebuilt

445
00:18:54,039 --> 00:18:56,359
it up to make it look or sorry, feel like

446
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,839
what it was before. But it looks the same. Yeah,

447
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,839
there's extra voice lines there, there's some extra stuff in there,

448
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,799
but it's just great. When I'll teleport or sorry, I'll

449
00:19:04,839 --> 00:19:07,319
fast travel to a city and because I'm doing one

450
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,400
quest and I pure in the city, this random like

451
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,039
wood Elf just runs up.

452
00:19:12,039 --> 00:19:15,319
Speaker 3: Help me, help me, Okay.

453
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 2: We're gonna do this now. It's just there's so many fun,

454
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,920
little zany things. And that's just one of the reasons

455
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,200
I love Oblivion so much.

456
00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 3: Man, it was so great.

457
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,559
Speaker 1: I went so my playthrough, I was like, yeah, should

458
00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:28,720
I do something different, like a bill that haven't done before,

459
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,640
because that's just how expansive these games are. Like maybe

460
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,160
I haven't played every I don't know if I've ever

461
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,720
played a Breton in this game, you know, But I

462
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:34,960
was like, you know what, I'm just gonna go with

463
00:19:35,039 --> 00:19:37,400
my tried and true here, same as you dark Elf.

464
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,960
I'm kind of playing like a rogue sorcerer combination. I

465
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,160
wanted to use some magic. I was wondering if that

466
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,519
was something they were gonna change, And I think one

467
00:19:43,519 --> 00:19:46,319
of the best, probably the single best change in my opinion,

468
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,640
that Skyrim did from Oblivion Marrow.

469
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:49,799
Speaker 3: And all that.

470
00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:52,759
Speaker 1: It was just like adding like the two handed system

471
00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:54,519
to it, where you can choose like what's equipped in

472
00:19:54,519 --> 00:19:56,640
what hand, and like magic now takes one of your

473
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,559
hands and you can like shoot out magic in a

474
00:19:58,559 --> 00:20:00,200
way that feels a lot better than in this game

475
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,680
where you just like click a button to activate a spell, right,

476
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,880
and that's just not quite as fun as like the

477
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,440
Skyrim version of it. But like, no, they like they

478
00:20:07,519 --> 00:20:09,599
kept it the same as it was, which I'm totally

479
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,400
fine with too. So yeah, I want to use a

480
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,480
little bit of magic of course, Like you can't not

481
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,880
be a stealth archer if you're gonna play, obliving, it's

482
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,799
just too fun. Also using weapons, like I'm kind of

483
00:20:18,799 --> 00:20:20,880
just using a little bit of everything, a jack of

484
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,440
all trades, which I kind of feel like is what

485
00:20:22,519 --> 00:20:25,079
the Dark Elf is sort of like it's not like

486
00:20:25,079 --> 00:20:28,200
they have a super duper big weakness. And the first

487
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,480
thing I did was I looked at the world map again.

488
00:20:31,559 --> 00:20:33,920
I was like, Okay, what's the closest city, and like, oh, yeah,

489
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,839
well of course Imperial cities right behind you, but like

490
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,279
Chad and Hall is just up the hill, and that's

491
00:20:38,279 --> 00:20:41,599
always been my favorite city just visually, and so like, yeah,

492
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,400
I'm just gonna I'm not even gonna fast travel there.

493
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,000
I'm just gonna walk up to chad And Hall. Maybe

494
00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:47,759
I'll get sidetracked going a couple caves or something, go

495
00:20:47,839 --> 00:20:49,160
up to Chading Hall, which I don't even know if

496
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,920
that's how C's pronounced. This is how I pronounce it

497
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,599
as a kid, and so I'm still gonna pronounce it

498
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,759
that way. But anyway, walking around that and it's gorgeous.

499
00:20:56,839 --> 00:20:58,920
It's beautiful, Like like there's a river that goes to

500
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,640
that town, and now that river just looks a whole

501
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,920
lot better and there's like more foliage and stuff, and

502
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,839
like the buildings have always kind of been like the

503
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,839
Victorian style with the big wooden beams, and it's always

504
00:21:08,839 --> 00:21:10,200
been like a little bit purple. But I feel like

505
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,960
they really highlighted that purple extra but like the games,

506
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,960
you know, not quite as bright and overexposed whatever saturated

507
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,440
I guess is the word I'm looking for as the

508
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,359
original one. But man, it looks gorgeous. So just walking

509
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,519
around that town, eventually ended up joining the Major's Guild

510
00:21:26,559 --> 00:21:28,240
there and the Fighter's Guild, and so I've just been

511
00:21:28,279 --> 00:21:30,720
doing like kind of entry level quests for Majors and

512
00:21:30,759 --> 00:21:32,720
Fighters Guild, and then I just kind of went down

513
00:21:32,759 --> 00:21:34,960
the map. I just walked all the way south, went

514
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,480
through some found some things I've never seen before. That's

515
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,359
just how expansive these games are. And like I've spent

516
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,480
hundreds of hours with these games, but not thousands, so

517
00:21:41,519 --> 00:21:44,680
there's still things I haven't seen yet. And then went

518
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,000
all the way down to Braville. Did you know a

519
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:48,599
couple of quests there, And then I went all the

520
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,920
way south down to Lao Win And that's kind of

521
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,880
where I got to in my first like five or

522
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,519
six hours with the game, So just kind of checking

523
00:21:54,519 --> 00:21:57,440
out the different towns, talking to these different characters, picking

524
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,920
up some basic quests, just kind of messing around so

525
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,880
far and having having a great time with that. It's

526
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,960
it's it's great, Like it's it's not different, you know,

527
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,200
like it it is, but it isn't at the same time.

528
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,920
I think that's what I'm so happy about this is

529
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,119
like they just made it so faithful, and I think

530
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,359
that's something that really was highlighted in the video. Because

531
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,960
of course this is not made by Bethesda. Bethes does involved,

532
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,960
and I'm sure they asked them for advice and stuff,

533
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,519
but it's made by Virtuous Virtuous Studios, I think Virtuos

534
00:22:24,519 --> 00:22:26,039
something like that is the name of the studio here

535
00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:28,480
that made this. And in the video you get people

536
00:22:28,519 --> 00:22:30,720
from that studio who are talking about, like should we

537
00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:31,640
add sprinting?

538
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 3: That was like an internal.

539
00:22:32,599 --> 00:22:34,599
Speaker 1: Debate they had and eventually they did, and like that's

540
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,920
not something the original Oblivion had and I like it.

541
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:37,799
Speaker 3: I think it's a good change.

542
00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:40,319
Speaker 1: You know, I was something inspiriment fits in here just

543
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,599
as well, and it fits well with like the the

544
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,000
mana or the not the man of the stamina system

545
00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:48,079
and the fatigue system, like it doesn't. It doesn't clash

546
00:22:48,079 --> 00:22:49,519
with those systems at all. So I think that's like

547
00:22:49,559 --> 00:22:51,640
a good little change to make the game have a

548
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,759
little bit more localmotion for someone who hasn't like just

549
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,559
cracked out their speedstat at the character creation side of things.

550
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,559
So like there's little tasteful changes route, but nothing that's

551
00:23:01,599 --> 00:23:05,440
like mind blowingly making it a different experience, which is

552
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:10,240
not what you would want for something like this. Yeah, yeah,

553
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,079
I I where do I want to go?

554
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 3: I think? Yeah?

555
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,039
Speaker 1: So the biggest thing that I think they change and

556
00:23:17,039 --> 00:23:18,480
I'm still you know, I need to spend a lot

557
00:23:18,519 --> 00:23:20,480
more hours with the game to see how this works out.

558
00:23:20,759 --> 00:23:23,720
Is like before, if I was telling someone to play obliviing,

559
00:23:23,799 --> 00:23:25,680
or someone was a Skyrim fan, They're asking me, Hey,

560
00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:27,759
what do I need to know about Obliving for jumping in?

561
00:23:28,079 --> 00:23:29,480
I feel like, you don't need to know much. But

562
00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:31,160
the main thing I would tell them tell them about

563
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,200
is like, yeah, the the leveling system is completely busted

564
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,480
in this game, and I would recommend like just don't

565
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,759
ever sleep and don't level up because literally, you know,

566
00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:42,160
I would do that when I first played the game,

567
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,519
but eventually got to a point where I would just

568
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,559
That's how I would play Abliving. I would never level

569
00:23:45,599 --> 00:23:48,359
up my character. I'd play, I'd have fifty hours on

570
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,039
a character and they'd still be level one because the

571
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,720
whole game is based around level scaling, where the higher

572
00:23:54,799 --> 00:23:57,480
level you are, the higher level the enemies you're gonna

573
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,599
fight are, and the you know what would be a

574
00:23:59,599 --> 00:24:02,279
basic and didn't now have like crazy glass armor and

575
00:24:02,319 --> 00:24:05,519
stuff like this, and they do way more damage, and

576
00:24:05,759 --> 00:24:08,359
you know it's good to engage with that stuff too,

577
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,240
because I feel like, also what comes to the level

578
00:24:10,279 --> 00:24:13,200
scaling is you're encountering like different enemy types, and so

579
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,559
it's funny when the trailer was popping off, I'm like,

580
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,599
I have never seen a couple of these enemies just

581
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,559
because of how I never leveled up, and so I

582
00:24:19,599 --> 00:24:21,720
would just never see these enemies that would only appear

583
00:24:21,759 --> 00:24:23,400
when you're a higher level in the game.

584
00:24:23,839 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 3: And so there's like just.

585
00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: New content unlocked. So it seems like they talked about

586
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,440
they've rebalanced that. So far, it seems a lot better.

587
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,359
You don't have to worry as much about like grinding

588
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,279
out your minor skills and doing annoying stuff of like

589
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,880
having a notepad next to you to keep track of, Oh,

590
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,920
my athletics went up, I gotta put like two sets

591
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,960
into alchemy. I gotta do this so I get my

592
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,680
perfect leveling. You don't have to worry about any of

593
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,720
that now, it's just a lot simpler, and so yeah,

594
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,839
it remains to me seeing how the balance is. I

595
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,960
will say I picked like just the regular difficulty, and

596
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,799
that's been like too easy, and then I went up

597
00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:55,720
to expert and it was like insanely difficult. So that

598
00:24:55,759 --> 00:24:58,039
balance seems kind of off there, and that was something

599
00:24:58,079 --> 00:24:59,720
I would always do in the original Vivian too, is

600
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,839
like constantly tweaking the difficulty level throughout to like make

601
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,680
it a fun experience, and so maybe it seems like

602
00:25:05,759 --> 00:25:07,039
it still has a bit of that. So I don't

603
00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:09,039
know how perfect that is. But then I read on

604
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,079
Reddit apparently when you get like to level ten, it

605
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,440
balances out and like adept becomes like a really solid difficulty.

606
00:25:16,519 --> 00:25:18,079
So that's one of the things I've I've read about.

607
00:25:18,079 --> 00:25:19,920
So we'll see what happens there. But I think that

608
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,440
was to me, that's always been the biggest caveat for oblivion,

609
00:25:22,519 --> 00:25:25,000
is like the Levely system kind of sucks. Here's how

610
00:25:25,039 --> 00:25:26,680
you should engage with it. And now I don't have

611
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,920
to have that caveat. It seems like you can kind

612
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,880
of just play the game. And if yeah, if you're

613
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,200
listening to this now and you're only played Skyrim, I

614
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,200
don't think you need to know anything, just like, don't

615
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,519
worry about doing the main quest, don't worry about doing this,

616
00:25:39,599 --> 00:25:42,160
and about just you know, get lost, go in the

617
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,960
random direction, find something cool, or if you want a

618
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,960
little more guidance, just go to a town, do a

619
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,640
certain guild quest. Every guild quest line in this game

620
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,240
is fun. Dark Brotherhood is the highlight. I'd say Thieves

621
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,839
Gild is probably number two. But like Major's guild Fighters,

622
00:25:54,839 --> 00:25:57,559
guild are really fun. Main Quest is solid, like you

623
00:25:57,599 --> 00:25:59,440
can't go wrong. I can't think of a point that's

624
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,279
like a dull moment in this game. Then obviously when

625
00:26:01,319 --> 00:26:03,599
you deal with the DLC stuff as well, you're getting

626
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,799
like some great content there too, but you probably want

627
00:26:05,799 --> 00:26:07,680
to be a bit higher level before you go to

628
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,640
the Shivering Aisles. I would say, mm hmm, yeah, it's

629
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,039
it's a bit of a rude awakening, I will say

630
00:26:15,079 --> 00:26:16,440
when you get over encumbered.

631
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: Skyrim I think was a little bit more generous. But man,

632
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,000
I have my armor on. I was like, oh, this

633
00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:22,640
is a new plate body I found, pick it up.

634
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,119
I put picked it up. So I have two plate

635
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,039
bodies of my my inventory and I can no longer

636
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,000
run and it's very very unfortunate. And I know you

637
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,880
can get spells that obviously.

638
00:26:31,599 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 3: Boost sweet feathers carry.

639
00:26:33,319 --> 00:26:36,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's kind of nice, but it sucks at

640
00:26:36,319 --> 00:26:37,839
the start, it really really does.

641
00:26:38,799 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 3: It was funny, how like I was Bret suck.

642
00:26:41,559 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: I've played this tutorial and after I played it for

643
00:26:43,519 --> 00:26:44,839
a couple of minutes, I'm like, oh, yeah, this is

644
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,240
the same game, so I don't need to take in

645
00:26:47,279 --> 00:26:47,799
every detail.

646
00:26:47,839 --> 00:26:49,599
Speaker 3: I can blast this tutorial because I've played this one

647
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:50,400
hundred times before.

648
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,279
Speaker 1: I think that would be my one point of advice

649
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,759
for anyone playing this game. When you're right before you're

650
00:26:54,759 --> 00:26:57,240
about to leave the Sewers for the first time, you

651
00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:00,200
get a prompt to like you can change your characters. Look,

652
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,079
you can change your class. Like it gives you one

653
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,519
last prompt like, hey, do you want to make any

654
00:27:03,559 --> 00:27:05,119
changes before you go out into the open world and

655
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,519
you can't change anything, make a save rate there so

656
00:27:07,519 --> 00:27:09,559
that when you replay the game and you boo up

657
00:27:09,559 --> 00:27:10,920
a new character, you can kind of just skip that

658
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,839
tutorial stuff. So yeah, pick the save rate before you

659
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,839
exit the Sewers and then you just modify all your

660
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,160
character and then you just go out into the open world.

661
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,119
So that's always something I do. So I've now set

662
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,000
that up so my subsequent pletely through as I can

663
00:27:22,039 --> 00:27:25,720
blast through that. But yeah, I think that's like, uh,

664
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,319
I don't know, that's like maybe the one point of

665
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:29,960
advice i'd give.

666
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:30,839
Speaker 3: Sorry, what were you just saying?

667
00:27:30,839 --> 00:27:32,559
Speaker 1: Because I had a train of thought and then I

668
00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:34,319
just totally drifted off into my other thought.

669
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 2: I was talking about the encumbrance and yeah that when

670
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,960
I was blasting through the tutorial, and then I like

671
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:41,680
got over and covered.

672
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, yeah, that's a thing that you have

673
00:27:43,279 --> 00:27:46,839
to deal with here. I think the silver lining here

674
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,160
is like now that the leveling system is less janky

675
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,880
than it was before, and I'm leveling up my character

676
00:27:53,519 --> 00:27:55,720
and you always it seems like you always get twelve

677
00:27:55,799 --> 00:27:58,640
points that you can allot into three of the different

678
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,880
stat stats, right Like, I'm almost always like, at least

679
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,079
on the first few levels. I think I'm level five

680
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,160
or six now, so like the first three levels, I

681
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,680
think I just dumped at least five points into strength,

682
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,920
and so I've got like my carry capacity up a

683
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,400
whole lot more. And it seems like just because you

684
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,799
don't have to like worry about micromanaging that now you're

685
00:28:15,799 --> 00:28:18,440
just gonna get those twelve points. It's pretty easy to

686
00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:22,119
just dump five points into strength right away. Which is

687
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,519
another thing too that like you kind of always were

688
00:28:24,519 --> 00:28:27,880
best off to level endurance early on, because like it

689
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:29,880
would scale how much health you'd get at every time

690
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,480
you leveled up. So it's like something you want to

691
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,599
do early on. But I read now that you don't

692
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,359
need to worry about that, like it'll retroactively give you

693
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,039
all the health you should have got if you put

694
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,559
like put points in an endurance later on. So that's

695
00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:43,599
a cool little change that they made as well. Yeah,

696
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,200
so have you been doing that? Have you been dumping

697
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,160
some extra strength points and to get your carry capacity

698
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,160
up when you're leveling?

699
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,359
Speaker 2: I did, but I probably have to put a little

700
00:28:51,359 --> 00:28:54,079
bit more in there to really start bumping up some more.

701
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: It's pretty notable.

702
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: It's not like, oh, you get like two extra pounds,

703
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,839
like you you'll notice the extra weight you can carry,

704
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:00,920
oh pretty quickly.

705
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,559
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, then I gotta just put some more points.

706
00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:06,440
And I was putting some whatever points I could towards

707
00:29:07,359 --> 00:29:11,000
your health and magic or usually my my primaries as

708
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,279
are what I focus on.

709
00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely.

710
00:29:14,319 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think this game like has a bit

711
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,160
of a simpler.

712
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:20,119
Speaker 3: Yeah.

713
00:29:20,119 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: It's like a I guess it doesn't have like the

714
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,480
perk system right of Skyrim, so you don't think as

715
00:29:24,559 --> 00:29:26,160
much like just when you do your level up, you

716
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,319
pick your your points and you go on your marry way.

717
00:29:28,319 --> 00:29:31,119
But there's not like huge skill trees. It's pretty it's

718
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,160
a lot more basic. And then when you hit the

719
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,480
threshold of like level twenty five, fifty, seventy five and

720
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,559
one hundred of a different skill, that's when you get

721
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,079
some ability. So like I think it's like shield bash

722
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,920
or something you get when you're like level fifty of

723
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:43,920
like the shield stats.

724
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,119
Speaker 2: So you do get.

725
00:29:45,079 --> 00:29:46,839
Speaker 1: Perks and things like that, they're just kind of more

726
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,960
gated behind what level you are, rather than like having

727
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,880
a perk point and selecting where you want to put

728
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,920
that thing. But yeah, I feel like you don't really

729
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,880
need to worry about like as much like playing a

730
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,640
specific character class, which is something I have critiqued about Skyrim.

731
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,559
How it's like less about like making a very specific

732
00:30:02,559 --> 00:30:04,480
class that has strengths and weaknesses, And now this seems

733
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,240
like it's a bit more in that kind of realm

734
00:30:06,279 --> 00:30:09,519
of things. But I don't know, It's fine. I'm not

735
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,359
too uh too heard about that kind of thing as

736
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,640
as we've mentioned here, Like, yeah, the DLC is included.

737
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,759
There is a Deluxe version though that has additional things,

738
00:30:20,799 --> 00:30:23,240
like including some weapons. Apparently there's some quests. I don't

739
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,640
know if those are new quests or whatnot. I got

740
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,200
to look into that, and then like the funniest thing too,

741
00:30:29,279 --> 00:30:31,000
is that one of the bonus things is that there's

742
00:30:31,079 --> 00:30:34,079
horse Armor as one of the deluxe things, which was like,

743
00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:36,160
this game got so much shit back in the day

744
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,519
for like selling horse armor for like five dollars or

745
00:30:38,559 --> 00:30:40,960
something as like a micro transaction on the Xbox and

746
00:30:41,079 --> 00:30:44,240
PlayStation store, and that's like a lot of people like credit,

747
00:30:44,359 --> 00:30:46,519
like a lot of micro transaction hell that we're in

748
00:30:46,559 --> 00:30:50,279
today back to like beaes the charging for fucking horse.

749
00:30:50,119 --> 00:30:51,039
Speaker 3: Armor back in the day.

750
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: So I feel like it's a very on the nose

751
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,519
thing for them to charge for horse armor again. But

752
00:30:55,599 --> 00:30:57,079
I think they're kind of going with the meme. At

753
00:30:57,079 --> 00:30:59,640
the same time, they're being like kind of greedy with

754
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,359
that too, but I feel like they're kind of playing

755
00:31:01,359 --> 00:31:04,279
at like they're they're being in on the joke. I

756
00:31:04,279 --> 00:31:06,680
think when they did that there this time around, I

757
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,839
didn't I didn't actually see how much the delexe version is.

758
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,240
Did you get that or are you just playing with

759
00:31:10,279 --> 00:31:12,519
the game pass version here, because of course this is

760
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,960
Xbox Game Studio, so it's a game pass titles on

761
00:31:16,039 --> 00:31:16,880
PS five as well.

762
00:31:16,799 --> 00:31:20,119
Speaker 2: Though I'm just doing games Pass. I didn't, I didn't

763
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:20,960
buy it, but.

764
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,039
Speaker 3: I mean how much it is If it's like ten bucks,

765
00:31:23,039 --> 00:31:23,400
I might.

766
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: I think that the main game and stuff, I think

767
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,319
it's around forty five to fifty dollars, yeah, which I mean,

768
00:31:30,079 --> 00:31:32,720
I wouldn't be surprised. I'm pretty sure games Pass if

769
00:31:32,759 --> 00:31:35,359
you buy games that are on games Pass and you

770
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,119
have games Pass, I think they give you a bit

771
00:31:37,119 --> 00:31:38,680
of a discount when you buy it.

772
00:31:38,759 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: Or maybe I'm mistaken on Okay, No, they do that

773
00:31:41,519 --> 00:31:44,640
pretty often, so I wouldn't be surprised about Well, usually

774
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,240
it's for the base game, though, I feel like necessarily

775
00:31:47,279 --> 00:31:51,519
the DLC, DLC add on stuff because that's like, that's

776
00:31:51,559 --> 00:31:53,160
why they do that for all their games now, right

777
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,839
because they know just been playing through the game Pass,

778
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,000
they want to nickel and dime those people.

779
00:31:58,119 --> 00:31:59,119
Speaker 3: To pay a little bit more.

780
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,039
Speaker 1: So I'll look into that and see how much that is.

781
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 3: I think.

782
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,799
Speaker 1: You know, the biggest thing about this for me is

783
00:32:05,839 --> 00:32:10,440
like what I mentioned, like the lighting is fucking gorgeous

784
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,319
in this game. You know, you get a lot of

785
00:32:12,319 --> 00:32:17,000
different variety of like what you know, maybe it's like

786
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,559
a little overcasty sort of day or a little foggy

787
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,319
or something like that, and then sometimes the sun will

788
00:32:21,359 --> 00:32:23,480
just shine through in beautiful ways. But I think for me,

789
00:32:23,599 --> 00:32:25,759
like the greatest part about it is like if you're

790
00:32:25,799 --> 00:32:28,079
inside a building and it's like morning, and like those

791
00:32:28,079 --> 00:32:30,119
morning rays are coming through, you can like see them

792
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,319
coming through the window, and like in a way that's

793
00:32:33,359 --> 00:32:35,359
so realistic that I just feel like I haven't really

794
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:36,920
seen in a game before. But I love that when

795
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,480
you're inside a building, you're still feeling like what time

796
00:32:40,519 --> 00:32:43,119
of day it is in a more like realistic way.

797
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,200
I think, like the lighting is just stood out to

798
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,880
me in like a really huge way. That's maybe my

799
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,680
one complaint about this so far, as I think maybe

800
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,039
one of the things I was hoping for is that

801
00:32:54,119 --> 00:32:57,079
like they would be able to remove some of the

802
00:32:57,119 --> 00:32:59,599
loading zone stuff, not that they would make the whole

803
00:32:59,599 --> 00:33:02,000
game just one loading zone, but like for me, when

804
00:33:02,039 --> 00:33:05,519
I went into any of the major's guilds or Fighter's gilds,

805
00:33:05,559 --> 00:33:07,799
there's like two or three stories in most of them,

806
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,920
and like each one of those is a different loading zone.

807
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,319
But I feel like with the tech we're at now,

808
00:33:11,359 --> 00:33:13,119
like you probably could have made that one loading zone.

809
00:33:13,119 --> 00:33:14,960
But I think once again, since this isn't a remake

810
00:33:15,359 --> 00:33:17,839
and then then build all this stuff from scratch, it

811
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,000
probably just isn't that easy. You know, they'd have to

812
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,000
do a lot of work to like make these all

813
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,960
one loading zone even just fitting them in the world

814
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:24,799
in a realistic way.

815
00:33:24,839 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 3: So that's fine, but.

816
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: Also the load times a little bit, like they're definitely

817
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,720
not as bad as like playing on a three sixty,

818
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:33,920
of course, but like a little bit longer than I'd expect.

819
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,000
Like maybe they're better on PS five. I think it's

820
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,759
got a better SSD than the series X, but I'm

821
00:33:38,759 --> 00:33:41,039
sure on PC it's it's you know, just depending on

822
00:33:41,039 --> 00:33:42,920
how good your PC is and all that. But maybe

823
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,759
that's like my only kind of minor complaint but not

824
00:33:44,839 --> 00:33:49,799
a big deal. But man, that fucking lighting is insane. Uh,

825
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,519
combat does not really it seemed like minor more like

826
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,960
visual stuff, like there's more sound effects and like sparks

827
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,160
if you like smash them on shield. There's a seems

828
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,640
like there's a couple of new both things that I

829
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,400
don't really recognize, So a couple of minor changes there.

830
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 3: That's good.

831
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: One find funny thing that I wondered if they would

832
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,400
leave in here or if they would fix it, is that.

833
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,800
One of my favorite bugs glitches in the original Oblivion

834
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,119
is like the paintbrush glitch. Did you ever use the

835
00:34:16,119 --> 00:34:17,000
paintbrush glitch?

836
00:34:17,679 --> 00:34:19,119
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

837
00:34:19,119 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: So the paintbrush is just a random object in the

838
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,679
world that you see like forks and knives and plates

839
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:26,039
and you know, baskets stuff all over the random world.

840
00:34:26,079 --> 00:34:29,239
You can pick up this stuff. But paintbrushes, for whatever reason,

841
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,280
did not have physics attached to them. It's just like

842
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,239
a bug. So when you drop a paintbrush, it just

843
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,880
like is floating there in mid air a little paintbrush,

844
00:34:38,559 --> 00:34:43,199
but it's big enough that you can jump on top

845
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,039
of the paintbrush. And so if you had collected like

846
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:50,599
ten paintbrushes, Taylor, you could make a floating staircase of

847
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:52,960
paint brushes. That's like, you know, it's you gotta parkre

848
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,639
this stuff. It's like a small hip box of what

849
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,840
like you could stand on. But one of my favorite

850
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,760
things to do was if you could go in Imperial

851
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,119
City and minor spoilers for the end of Oblivion here,

852
00:35:02,159 --> 00:35:03,519
which I know this game just came out, but it's

853
00:35:03,519 --> 00:35:05,800
a twenty year old game. You know, like the the

854
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,199
in Imperial City when you get into like the huge

855
00:35:08,599 --> 00:35:10,920
like Kaiju fight, like when you get to that point

856
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,840
in the game, Like if you you could do this

857
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,599
paintbrush glutch and I did this a couple of times.

858
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,320
You stack up a bunch of paintbrushes, you climb up

859
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,599
top to one of the building that like activates that

860
00:35:20,599 --> 00:35:22,360
cut scene in the main game. If you go to

861
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,679
like the top of that building, you could like activate

862
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,880
the loading you could activate a loading zone from the

863
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,519
top of that that would trigger.

864
00:35:29,199 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 3: The ending cut scene of the game.

865
00:35:31,039 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: And so you could just like essentially beat the game

866
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,000
or like roll the main quest ending by like using

867
00:35:37,039 --> 00:35:39,559
this paintbrush glitch to like glitch yourself up to the

868
00:35:39,559 --> 00:35:41,840
top of this building and like activate it from behind,

869
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,119
which is something yeah, definitely did a couple of times.

870
00:35:44,119 --> 00:35:46,320
So you can't do that anymore, the paint paint Maybe

871
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,239
you can't do it. Maybe you do it another way,

872
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,400
but you cannot do it through paintbrushes because now those

873
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,360
are a physics object and they fall on the ground

874
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,960
when you drop them, uh, which is which is fine,

875
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,559
But a funny thing that I noticed that they changed

876
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,079
no official mod support on this, although you know, they're

877
00:36:02,119 --> 00:36:04,039
already mods for it if you're on PC. But I

878
00:36:04,039 --> 00:36:06,679
guess just like for the last couple of Bethesda games

879
00:36:06,679 --> 00:36:09,159
they've had mods you can download on consoles, that's not

880
00:36:09,199 --> 00:36:10,880
the case here and it probably won't be the case.

881
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 3: So it's like, technically they.

882
00:36:13,159 --> 00:36:15,199
Speaker 1: Say no mod support, but of course you can still

883
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,320
download mods for it. It's just not like as supported

884
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,000
in a way that they normally would for some of

885
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,320
their games. So that's fine. What else I think, you know,

886
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,039
one funny thing, like almost I don't know if this

887
00:36:26,119 --> 00:36:29,880
was like a hint that this was coming, but in Starfield,

888
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,760
the Adoring Fan is a character in that game that

889
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,519
you can pick as a perk and you'll like have

890
00:36:34,559 --> 00:36:36,599
the adorin fan follow you around us. Of course, not

891
00:36:36,639 --> 00:36:38,239
the same guy from Syria Dill. It's just like he

892
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,159
looks similar. It's the same voice actor, though, and so

893
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:42,559
I feel like I wonder if that was a little

894
00:36:42,559 --> 00:36:45,480
bit of a hint that, like, we haven't forgot about Oblivion.

895
00:36:45,519 --> 00:36:47,800
Oblivion is still around. The adoring Fan, one of the

896
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,480
most iconic characters in the game, still a thing. So

897
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:58,639
there you go. That's a thing, And let's see. I

898
00:36:58,679 --> 00:37:00,800
think you know, this is just I think it's it's

899
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,400
just great. There's so many people that have not played

900
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:03,840
this game. You know, Skyrim is one of the best

901
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,400
selling games of all time, and that means that there's

902
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,320
a lot of people that just played Skyrim. I've never

903
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,440
played the other Elder Scrolls games, and now people can

904
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,599
play like the best looking Other Scrolls game ever and

905
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,039
a game that's still super fun. And yes it's yanky,

906
00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:18,840
but it like, I don't know, I think it still

907
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,159
holds up. And it's not as good of an RPG

908
00:37:23,079 --> 00:37:24,800
as like a Balder's Gate three, but it's just in

909
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:31,400
terms of exploration, open world design, variety, quest design, it's

910
00:37:31,639 --> 00:37:35,440
just a fucking stellar game. So yeah, maybe you know,

911
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,360
before all this Scroll six comes out, I definitely want

912
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,039
to do like a bit more of a retro of

913
00:37:39,079 --> 00:37:41,039
these games and like dive deep into some of the

914
00:37:41,079 --> 00:37:42,760
details and do a full playthrough. And of course you

915
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,679
and I've only had a couple of days to play

916
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,880
this this remaster here, but I'm just so happy to

917
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,360
have Oblivion back in my life in a easily accessible

918
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,559
way that looks fantastic and play is just like I

919
00:37:53,599 --> 00:37:56,280
remember it and still has the yank voice lines. And

920
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,679
I think one of the funniest things that happened for

921
00:37:57,679 --> 00:37:59,760
me when I was walking around Shaden Hall. There's this

922
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,039
one guy who I got somewhat near I'm not even

923
00:38:02,039 --> 00:38:05,440
that close, and he's like, don't waste my time. I

924
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,880
don't want to talk to you. And then I walked

925
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,239
for five steps, don't waste my time, and he was

926
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,800
going around every NPC just yell you know, the same

927
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:16,159
line five or six times, same delivery every time.

928
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,039
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I'm home. There's a perfect moment. So

929
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,400
I love this game. I'm so glad to have it.

930
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: I will be playing a lot of it, and I'll

931
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
probably share some more fun adventures with it. But I'm

932
00:38:27,039 --> 00:38:29,519
so excited to hear people's first time playing this game,

933
00:38:30,599 --> 00:38:32,719
whether you're a Skyrim fan or not, I'm just excited

934
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,599
to hear how those people feel about this game and

935
00:38:34,679 --> 00:38:39,239
a modern twenty twenty five lens, but such a delight.

936
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,320
I don't know if we'll get this for other Pothesta games.

937
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,000
Well I could say it was getting it for Fallout three,

938
00:38:44,079 --> 00:38:45,440
but I don't know if we'll get it for Likemorrow

939
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:46,920
Wind or other Elder Scrolls games.

940
00:38:47,079 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 3: So I'm just gonna take it in. I'm happy with this.

941
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,159
Speaker 1: This will hold me over until this trolls six hopefully

942
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:53,639
unless that game is like ten years away.

943
00:38:53,679 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 3: But very happy to have it. Do you have any

944
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,679
other any thoughts on oblivion here?

945
00:38:59,119 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 2: Oh? I don't think so. I think I hit everything

946
00:39:02,559 --> 00:39:03,199
I needed to.

947
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 3: Sounds good. Do you have a horse? Did you get

948
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:06,639
the horse from winning priory?

949
00:39:07,119 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 2: I haven't. No, I haven't gotten a horse yet. I

950
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,000
think the Brotherhood quest line in here gives you a horse, right,

951
00:39:13,079 --> 00:39:14,039
maybe I'm thinking of school.

952
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,760
Speaker 1: It's not shadow facts, So that's the name Gandalf's horse, right, it's.

953
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,599
Speaker 2: Something shadow though, I believe it's Yeah, it is shadows

954
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,599
conjuring dark Horse or something like that.

955
00:39:25,199 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, something like that.

956
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 2: I gotta look.

957
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I should know that.

958
00:39:29,119 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: That's That's just goes to show how it's been a

959
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:32,159
few years since I've.

960
00:39:32,079 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 2: Played Shadow Mirror. That's right, Shadow Mirror.

961
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 3: That's the one. Yeah, it had a shadow in there.

962
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:38,400
Do you have a favorite house?

963
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 1: When you get enough money to buy a house, where

964
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:41,960
are you going to buy your first property? I know

965
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,760
the Imperial City is like the cheapest one, but where

966
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:44,559
are you going first?

967
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 2: I usually go Imperial City right, it's easy to chattoo

968
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,639
right on the outside for the shack. Yeah, you got

969
00:39:49,639 --> 00:39:52,719
that chest right when you walk in. So yeah, that'll

970
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,800
probably be be what I go to.

971
00:39:56,119 --> 00:39:58,119
Speaker 1: And well, I guess now since it has all the DLC,

972
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:02,840
you also have the the castle battle Horn Castle I

973
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,960
think is the name of that. Did you ever use

974
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:11,119
that DLC back in the day. I don't recall that, Okay, cool, No, No,

975
00:40:11,159 --> 00:40:13,159
it was just one of the random like you know

976
00:40:13,199 --> 00:40:15,440
how they had like the spire and they had like

977
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,719
the Dunbarrow Cave or whatever, like they just had random

978
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,400
little one off DLCs that was like one.

979
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,599
Speaker 2: Location exactly what we're talking about. My cousin.

980
00:40:21,599 --> 00:40:23,599
Speaker 1: Battle Horn Castle a huge castle. You gotta like clear

981
00:40:23,599 --> 00:40:25,719
o some enemies when there's like secret passages. It's a

982
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,079
huge castle that it's like all yours. So I might

983
00:40:29,119 --> 00:40:31,360
wait on a bit higher level canonically, so it feels

984
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,760
like I can fit in with that place. But yeah,

985
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,119
I'm excited to get that again and go see that

986
00:40:36,159 --> 00:40:38,800
in true HD fashion and all that.

987
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 3: All right, cool, let's let's take our first break. We

988
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,440
will be right back.

989
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: Okay, we are back taylor Field Big day here. The

990
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,360
day we're recording is April twenty fourth, which means that

991
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:59,079
is the day that the switch to pre orders the

992
00:40:59,119 --> 00:41:02,760
first wave of the Bad Boys went live. Tell me

993
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,760
how your morning went trying to, you know, get your

994
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,239
hands on one of these bad Boys.

995
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:14,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was chaotic, to say the least.

996
00:41:14,519 --> 00:41:16,599
I got up this morning and I thought, okay, well

997
00:41:16,639 --> 00:41:18,480
I'm gonna I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try and get

998
00:41:18,519 --> 00:41:22,639
a switch to. And Travis had messaged me, he said,

999
00:41:22,639 --> 00:41:24,559
are you gonna go and get one? I was like, yeah,

1000
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,440
I'm gonna get one. So I set up a contingency plan. Now,

1001
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:31,079
where the local game stop is, it's it's really close

1002
00:41:31,119 --> 00:41:33,159
to where my wife works, and so I thought, okay, well,

1003
00:41:34,159 --> 00:41:37,400
my wife is gonna go to work and then she'll

1004
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,000
be in her by she can scope it out. I

1005
00:41:39,039 --> 00:41:41,239
didn't think that there was gonna be a lineup, but

1006
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,760
when she got there, there was a lineup. Now, Pruiter's

1007
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,440
online start at nine am, and that specific center time

1008
00:41:47,519 --> 00:41:51,119
and the place the game stoblems up at ten, so

1009
00:41:51,159 --> 00:41:53,920
people were lined up well in advance waiting to get in.

1010
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,079
My wife had to go to work, so she couldn't

1011
00:41:56,079 --> 00:41:58,519
wait in line. Obviously, so I thought, okay, that's okay.

1012
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,320
But the reason and I set her up to go

1013
00:42:01,639 --> 00:42:04,079
in person was because when I got my Xbox Series X,

1014
00:42:04,119 --> 00:42:06,880
I couldn't get an online order, and for the life

1015
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,280
of me, it just wasn't happening. So I took a

1016
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,920
lunch at my job and I went to the game

1017
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,639
stop and they had separate a separate amount of pre

1018
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,920
orders available in store as opposed to what was online.

1019
00:42:19,039 --> 00:42:21,559
So it was thought, oh my gosh, this is this

1020
00:42:21,639 --> 00:42:23,400
is the way to do it. There wasn't a lineup

1021
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,320
at the time because it was the Xbox Series X,

1022
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,599
but I digress. This being Nintendo, it had a lineup.

1023
00:42:28,639 --> 00:42:30,760
So I thought, okay, when my wife, I'm not going

1024
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,639
to make her wait in line. She's got to go

1025
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,639
to work. So she went to work, and then I thought, okay,

1026
00:42:34,639 --> 00:42:36,360
I'm going to fight on the front lines here. I'm

1027
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,039
gonna open up a tab on my phone, open up

1028
00:42:39,039 --> 00:42:40,559
a tab on my computer, and see if I can

1029
00:42:40,599 --> 00:42:42,960
get into the queue. And the queue the whole time

1030
00:42:43,079 --> 00:42:46,000
was like, oh four hours, five hours. It was taken forever.

1031
00:42:47,039 --> 00:42:49,320
I thought, great, this is not what I want. And

1032
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,199
then Travis just messages me says like, oh, yeah, I

1033
00:42:52,199 --> 00:42:54,559
got one. I'm best Buy. I'm like, oh my god.

1034
00:42:54,599 --> 00:42:56,760
So I switched over to best Buy and by the

1035
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:00,199
time that Q loaded it was too late. It did

1036
00:43:00,199 --> 00:43:01,880
say while I was in the queue, like we've sold

1037
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,679
out of the regular switch to packs, but the switch

1038
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,880
to Mario car bundles are still available. So that's the

1039
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,000
one I wanted. That's the one what I ultimately got.

1040
00:43:12,599 --> 00:43:17,000
So Madison she after all my everything was saying sold out,

1041
00:43:17,039 --> 00:43:18,320
sold out, sold out, so I was running out of

1042
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,719
lock and then Madison's she texted me and she's like, oh,

1043
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,280
it's still available. I'm like, oh, what does this mean?

1044
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:24,880
Like are you gonna go get it? And she doesn't

1045
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:29,840
respond something, oh my god. So I'm thinking, like I

1046
00:43:30,679 --> 00:43:32,639
call the game stop something and I need to just

1047
00:43:32,679 --> 00:43:35,800
get confirmation like is it available, Like I'm gonna go

1048
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,119
on my lunch, I'm gonna drive there. I'm gonna put

1049
00:43:38,159 --> 00:43:43,159
a proder down and get it. She I sent her

1050
00:43:43,199 --> 00:43:46,320
a bunch of texts saying like okay, well like call

1051
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:47,960
me when you get in the line, like if you're

1052
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,800
gonna go and get it, like I want to make

1053
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,599
sure you get the right one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We

1054
00:43:51,639 --> 00:43:54,159
got to talk about this, and so she text me

1055
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,760
back a receipt with my ex I gave her my

1056
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,119
edge card. So she texted me back the receipt a

1057
00:43:59,119 --> 00:44:01,400
photo of it with the edge card, and I'm like,

1058
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,039
oh my god. Like she's like, I got it, and

1059
00:44:03,079 --> 00:44:04,679
I'm like, oh my god, this is great. I was

1060
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,280
so stoked and I'm looking at Hi'm like which one

1061
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,920
did you get? Which which version? And she doesn't respond.

1062
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,920
I'm thinking, oh my god, this is stressful because the

1063
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,960
main receipt, which labels what you got was was down

1064
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:22,039
but ebe game or GameStop staples like your debit transaction receipt,

1065
00:44:22,079 --> 00:44:24,119
so that that was right on top and the photo

1066
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:28,599
it completely blocked out what she which bundle. She got something,

1067
00:44:28,639 --> 00:44:31,239
and fuck, this is stressing me out. So I had

1068
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,079
to wait like half an hour before she responded and

1069
00:44:34,079 --> 00:44:36,320
she's like, I got the Mario Kart one. I was like,

1070
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:41,760
oh nice, thank god. So that's that was. That was

1071
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,639
around like twelve thirty when that finally unfolded. So it

1072
00:44:44,639 --> 00:44:47,480
was a very long warning, just trying to fight this

1073
00:44:48,039 --> 00:44:51,599
uphill battle. But yes, she she got the pre order,

1074
00:44:51,599 --> 00:44:56,760
in got the receipt, so I'm good for June.

1075
00:44:56,519 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 1: Hell, yeah, Yeah, I had a no journey whatsoever. I

1076
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,119
just I was in the office this morning, couldn't couldn't

1077
00:45:04,119 --> 00:45:06,840
spend the time to go around to places or do

1078
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,800
it online, so I did not get a pre order.

1079
00:45:09,119 --> 00:45:11,760
Still don't have one. I'm on the Nintendo waitless thing,

1080
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,760
which they set up and intentionally to like prevent scalpers,

1081
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,159
so we'll see if they were successful at that. I'll

1082
00:45:18,199 --> 00:45:20,239
let you know on May eighth, I think is the

1083
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,039
day that that goes live, so we'll see if I'm

1084
00:45:22,039 --> 00:45:24,079
able to get one that way. I don't know, heartbroken

1085
00:45:24,079 --> 00:45:25,039
if I can't get one day one.

1086
00:45:25,079 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 3: I'm glad that you got one.

1087
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: I'm glad that Travis has got one too, so we'll

1088
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,960
definitely have some coverage of the system here on side Quest,

1089
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,639
even if it takes me a little bit to get one.

1090
00:45:34,639 --> 00:45:36,679
I'm just hoping to get one before Bonanza. That's my

1091
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,679
goal at this point. But yeah, I'm I'm excited that

1092
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,199
we're talking about this now because you know, I didn't

1093
00:45:43,199 --> 00:45:45,280
even know because I was waiting to talk to you

1094
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,239
on side Quests, Like I didn't even know where your

1095
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,119
hype level was on this console. In general, if you're

1096
00:45:50,119 --> 00:45:51,440
going to get one. There's obviously been in a lot

1097
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,760
of conversation about how it's very pricey. I know you've

1098
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,719
been very much looking forward to Mario Kart and I,

1099
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,199
which is now Mario Kart World of course, So yeah,

1100
00:45:59,199 --> 00:46:00,960
what was it about would the concert for you that

1101
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:02,519
I was like, Oh, there's one hundred percent of day one.

1102
00:46:02,559 --> 00:46:04,639
I got to pick this up, like like, why were

1103
00:46:04,679 --> 00:46:09,360
you so giddy to grab this bad boy?

1104
00:46:09,639 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 2: For me, it comes down to the backwards compatibility and

1105
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,880
what's going to be available, and with Nintendo games, I

1106
00:46:17,039 --> 00:46:21,920
like to be more so in the now because Nintendo

1107
00:46:22,039 --> 00:46:24,599
is just to me, is very different from Xbox and PlayStation,

1108
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,400
which is weird. It's just a personal thing, but it's

1109
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:32,480
just it's it's a weird philosophy I have because just Nintendo,

1110
00:46:32,519 --> 00:46:34,480
I feel like, is they're very finicky with how they

1111
00:46:34,559 --> 00:46:36,760
do things, and I feel like it's something you want

1112
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,559
to stay up to date with and current. With that

1113
00:46:39,639 --> 00:46:42,119
being said, I mean, you're not you're not in hot water.

1114
00:46:42,119 --> 00:46:44,400
If you still have like the original switch and the

1115
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,760
switch to comes out like you're still you're still covered

1116
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,760
for for a few years. You're still okay. But for

1117
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,679
me personally, I just thought, you know, with with how

1118
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,360
things are going on with with tariffs, whatnot, whatever you

1119
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,159
want to call it, and just that this is probably

1120
00:46:58,159 --> 00:47:00,880
not going to go on sale for a while. I

1121
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,280
just figured I might as well just jump on board

1122
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,159
while I can, because I remember when I got my switch.

1123
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,079
It was a couple of years after its release, but

1124
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:13,360
up until that point, I remember just seeing that, Okay,

1125
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,480
the switch is still like it's hard to get it.

1126
00:47:15,679 --> 00:47:18,199
It's proven to be difficult to acquire. So I thought, oh,

1127
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,000
I don't want to run into that issue with this.

1128
00:47:20,039 --> 00:47:21,760
I want to be able to get it and know that, okay,

1129
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:23,920
I can still play my games. The fact that it

1130
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:29,119
comes with the GameCube Online thing, that's huge. I really

1131
00:47:29,199 --> 00:47:31,360
like that component. So there's a few things that I

1132
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,000
really do like. And again, Mayo Kart was a big

1133
00:47:34,079 --> 00:47:36,000
kicker for me, really really like that. I don't have

1134
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,159
a huge attachment to Docy Kong like you, Travis do,

1135
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:43,199
but I'm not opposed to it. But at the end

1136
00:47:43,199 --> 00:47:44,920
of the day, I'm just thinking that we're going to

1137
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,920
get some probably gonna get some really really cool new

1138
00:47:48,079 --> 00:47:50,320
new games on here, and I want to be able

1139
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,599
to enjoy it as much as I love my Switch.

1140
00:47:52,679 --> 00:47:56,519
I just I like how they've made little quality of

1141
00:47:56,559 --> 00:47:58,800
life improvements on the switch too, like the way the

1142
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:02,000
joy cons now clip it and magnets you know, to

1143
00:48:02,079 --> 00:48:04,320
the to the console. That's really nice, and a few

1144
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,880
other little work little improvements. Yeah, so I'm I'm all

1145
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:08,679
excited for it.

1146
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, other than Mario Kart, which, of course you got

1147
00:48:12,119 --> 00:48:15,760
the bundles, you've already purchased that in theory, Like what

1148
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,239
anything else from that initial direct that you're like immediate

1149
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,280
day one purchase on, Like, are you picking up Metroid?

1150
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,599
It sounds like Bonanza. You're more on the fence and

1151
00:48:24,599 --> 00:48:26,480
giving the price of some of these games, you're probably

1152
00:48:26,519 --> 00:48:28,960
not just gonna be buying stuff left right and center.

1153
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,199
But yeah, like Prime anything else, even like the non

1154
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,400
Nintendo stuff, just like a third party things that that

1155
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:34,239
we're drawing you in.

1156
00:48:34,639 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 2: I'm not really like, I've never been super huge on

1157
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,400
the Metroid just and not that I'm not a fan.

1158
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,760
I'm just I've never really gotten in and played them.

1159
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:47,599
Uh yeah, Kirby, that seems kind of fun. So maybe

1160
00:48:50,199 --> 00:48:52,920
maybe I'll buy that Nintendo Welcome Tour just kidding, I'm

1161
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:53,800
not gonna pay money for.

1162
00:48:57,920 --> 00:48:58,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, Herby.

1163
00:48:58,639 --> 00:49:02,079
Speaker 1: Sorry, do you mean Kirby the expansion for fragot Land

1164
00:49:02,159 --> 00:49:03,039
or do you mean air.

1165
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 2: Rider the era the air Riders?

1166
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 3: Did you play the game back in the day on

1167
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:06,880
game people?

1168
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 2: No? I did not, so I have no idea what

1169
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,159
I'm really in store. It's just like a racing game,

1170
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:13,719
is that right? Yeah?

1171
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,519
Speaker 1: Racing combat collectible game. I mean it's made by the

1172
00:49:17,559 --> 00:49:21,800
Smash Bros. Team, which is interesting. Yeah, I think it'd

1173
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:22,239
be too.

1174
00:49:22,559 --> 00:49:26,559
Speaker 2: It's multiplayer, right, I'm assuming Yeah, okay, yeah, I think

1175
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:28,599
it'd be a fun one to play with with Mattison.

1176
00:49:28,639 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 1: I think they dropped twenty twenty five on that bad Boy,

1177
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,000
so that's coming out later this year.

1178
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:33,639
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, they're just exciting.

1179
00:49:34,119 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: I think I just gonna see what the price is

1180
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:37,840
on that game, Like, I want to check it out

1181
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:39,920
because it's sack Rai'm a big fan of Smash Bros.

1182
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 3: I want to see what's going on there.

1183
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:44,679
Speaker 1: I've never played the original though, but like, am I gonna,

1184
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,360
you know, drop one hundred and fifteen books on like

1185
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,360
a gamble? Probably not, so we'll see what happens. I

1186
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,880
hope they put the original one on the GameCube online.

1187
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:54,639
They didn't have it in their little scissor real thing,

1188
00:49:54,639 --> 00:49:56,239
and they might not if they're trying to sell a

1189
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,159
new one, but I definitely want to go back and

1190
00:49:58,199 --> 00:50:01,599
play that game because it looks weird and cool.

1191
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 3: M m yeah cool. H yeah.

1192
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 1: Let's so let's kind of segue that into a little

1193
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,239
bit of Mario Kart World, which, yeah, you've been very

1194
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,920
much looking forward to Mario Kart nine. Uh now World.

1195
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,719
Of course you were wondering if, like, okay, is it

1196
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:19,760
like double Dash is coming back that sort of mechanic.

1197
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:21,239
What are they gonna do for like new stuff?

1198
00:50:21,519 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 3: How do you feel.

1199
00:50:22,079 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: About this kind of being like the fores the horizon

1200
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,960
of Mario Kart, like open world exploration element of it,

1201
00:50:28,039 --> 00:50:32,199
finding secrets, collectibles like little mini mini quests, many side quests,

1202
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:36,079
i'll call them, like just that generally being the direction.

1203
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:40,239
Are you happy with that given that's that's the direction

1204
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:41,440
they're going here for Mario Kart.

1205
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's a component, right, so it's not

1206
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,800
like the only thing. It's not solely free rom am

1207
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:48,079
I correct in that like you can.

1208
00:50:48,199 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean regular regular grand prixs and you know,

1209
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,320
new items, new characters, all that regular stuff. But in

1210
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,199
terms of like what makes this game unique. It's the

1211
00:50:57,559 --> 00:50:58,960
it's the world element.

1212
00:50:58,679 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I think that's fantastic. I think it's really

1213
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,519
really a lot of fun that you can just rip

1214
00:51:03,679 --> 00:51:05,800
around out there in the open world. I think that's

1215
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:10,119
really cool, and that's something very new for a Mario game,

1216
00:51:10,159 --> 00:51:12,239
at least in a Mario Kart. So I think it's

1217
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,119
gonna be a lot of fun. I like it's between

1218
00:51:15,159 --> 00:51:17,960
that and Mario Party. I think we me and Madison

1219
00:51:18,039 --> 00:51:22,559
play play a lot of Mario Kart and two. Just

1220
00:51:23,119 --> 00:51:26,840
obviously my kid is still i'd say two years away

1221
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:30,280
from from getting into this. Like she's aware of video games.

1222
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,599
And I put the controller. I was playing Lego Star

1223
00:51:32,639 --> 00:51:35,159
Wars and I put the controller in her hand, one

1224
00:51:35,199 --> 00:51:36,840
without batteries and I had the other one, and she

1225
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,760
was like engaging with it. So starting to ease her

1226
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,360
into that. And I think by the time you know,

1227
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,519
she gets of age, like maybe we'll see what Mario

1228
00:51:45,599 --> 00:51:47,639
Kart World has in terms of like DLC. But this

1229
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:49,400
is gonna be a game for sure that I know

1230
00:51:49,519 --> 00:51:51,840
she's gonna want to play. And it's just with the

1231
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,039
amount of characters in here and the amount of things

1232
00:51:54,079 --> 00:51:56,239
that you can do. I think a game like this

1233
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,559
to have a free roam is great for kids. Kids

1234
00:51:58,559 --> 00:52:01,440
are gonna be able to zoom around. They're not gonna

1235
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,639
have to feel like, oh, I'm coming twentieth place in

1236
00:52:03,639 --> 00:52:05,920
this Grand Prix, I'm sucking or whatever like that. They

1237
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,320
could just rip around, have fun in a fun environment

1238
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,280
that they're familiar with being Mario. So this is a

1239
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:13,719
win win yeah.

1240
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,199
Speaker 1: I mean I the more I've thought about that, because

1241
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:17,719
I was like, I don't know, am I really gonna

1242
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,639
use that feature much? Is it just gonna be something

1243
00:52:19,639 --> 00:52:22,199
that like when the game comes out, I'm gonna play

1244
00:52:22,199 --> 00:52:24,039
it for like two hours and then like never touch

1245
00:52:24,079 --> 00:52:24,480
it again.

1246
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,079
Speaker 3: But I do think that it being the context.

1247
00:52:26,639 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 1: Of it being a Day one title and it being

1248
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,440
a bundle pack in that like, probably most people are

1249
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,840
gonna try and go for the pack in over not

1250
00:52:34,039 --> 00:52:35,239
having the pack in, So a lot of people are

1251
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:36,639
gonna have this game. I feel like it's a great

1252
00:52:36,639 --> 00:52:38,639
thing to have Day one where yeah, you're gonna have

1253
00:52:38,639 --> 00:52:40,760
the situation where you get it, bring home your family,

1254
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:42,760
or you know you're the one person your friend group

1255
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,199
has a switch, everyone comes over to play play Mario

1256
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,280
Kart and you play that together, but then you're gonna

1257
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:48,679
have the moments where like I want to explore this

1258
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,119
cons I want to play more of it, but you know,

1259
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:51,840
I'm solo.

1260
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,320
Speaker 3: What am I gonna do? What am I gonna play?

1261
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:54,079
Single player wise?

1262
00:52:54,119 --> 00:52:55,840
Speaker 1: And it's like, oh yeah, here's just like a very

1263
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,400
in depth single player mode for Mario like Mario Kart.

1264
00:52:58,440 --> 00:52:59,920
I can't think of the last time I played Mario Kart.

1265
00:53:00,119 --> 00:53:02,639
My own was maybe back in like probably when I

1266
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:04,800
played on the DS, because like you know, it was

1267
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,679
a DS, so I was only playing that on my own.

1268
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,280
But otherwise, like I'm only ever playing this game with friends,

1269
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,440
But this is a good incentive to want to go

1270
00:53:11,519 --> 00:53:13,840
in and it yeah, seeing more of it here. There's

1271
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:17,320
like a little quest you're doing little like challenges, talking

1272
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:21,280
to characters, You're unlocking costumes, you know, even like finding

1273
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,000
shortcuts and other things for the maps.

1274
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 3: I don't know how much it'll be like that's how you.

1275
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:29,079
Speaker 1: Unlock characters or like carts and things, or if it's

1276
00:53:29,119 --> 00:53:31,679
really just more for like unlocking costumes. It seems like

1277
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,519
you go these Yoshi restaurants fast food restaurants, and that's

1278
00:53:34,519 --> 00:53:35,719
how you get new costumes.

1279
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:36,199
Speaker 3: And whatnot.

1280
00:53:37,079 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think it seems like a decent mode,

1281
00:53:39,199 --> 00:53:40,480
And yeah, I don't know if it's one. I'm gonna

1282
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,800
spend a ton of time with like maybe three or

1283
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,920
four hours or something in that single player mode and

1284
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,679
then it's just back to multiplayer. But it's a cool

1285
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:52,039
thing to have have in the mix. Yeah, I guess

1286
00:53:52,119 --> 00:53:53,760
what are some other things that we have. Like one

1287
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:55,079
thing that kind of stood out to me is like

1288
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,840
we sort of saw this in the an initial trailer

1289
00:53:58,599 --> 00:54:00,639
but kind of got it fully con here that like

1290
00:54:00,679 --> 00:54:04,000
around this huge world, the one huge continuous open world

1291
00:54:04,119 --> 00:54:06,119
is like, yeah, you can just like go into the

1292
00:54:06,119 --> 00:54:08,199
water and you just like have a boat like Diddy

1293
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,039
Kong style, and like some of the flying you can

1294
00:54:10,079 --> 00:54:13,079
do is like a lot more. It's not true like plane,

1295
00:54:13,119 --> 00:54:14,760
it's it is still the glide, but you can go

1296
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,840
a lot further. It seems like, so I think that

1297
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:18,920
the boat is like a really cool hybrid element. I'm

1298
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,199
curious to see how many of the maps feature that. Like,

1299
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:22,760
even what we saw here, it seems like quite a

1300
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:24,599
few of them do have a lot of boat action

1301
00:54:24,679 --> 00:54:26,599
in them, and it's kind of not not so much

1302
00:54:26,639 --> 00:54:28,480
like the boat that we had in Mario Karta where

1303
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,960
it's like your tires flip and you're just kind of hovering,

1304
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,559
But it seems like you're a full on boat transition now,

1305
00:54:33,599 --> 00:54:35,400
So I'm pretty excited for that. I think that looks

1306
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,320
pretty cool. But other than the world part, what really

1307
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:40,639
stood out to you as like interesting mechanics that you're

1308
00:54:40,679 --> 00:54:42,280
excited to play with.

1309
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:47,039
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, because it's been a while since I

1310
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:52,719
watched what they had unveiled with It's interesting mechanics.

1311
00:54:52,079 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 3: Though, m you need to throw some things at you.

1312
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, throw some things at me, because I'm sure I

1313
00:55:02,079 --> 00:55:03,760
don't remember a lot of the specifics from when they

1314
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:04,239
did the director.

1315
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think maybe the biggest one, like gameplay wise,

1316
00:55:06,599 --> 00:55:09,719
that I'm most excited for personally is just like almost

1317
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,639
like more like parkour stuff, Like there's wall riding, there's

1318
00:55:12,679 --> 00:55:14,679
like grinding, and then they talk about how there's like

1319
00:55:15,559 --> 00:55:17,199
one of the new items is like the feather, which

1320
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,679
just gives you like a little vertical boost, which it

1321
00:55:19,679 --> 00:55:22,800
seems like some shortcuts will only be accessible from that,

1322
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,039
where it's like, Okay, you feather up to like grind

1323
00:55:25,079 --> 00:55:26,880
on this one thing, and then you jump over here

1324
00:55:27,079 --> 00:55:29,239
do a wall ride to transition to another grind, and

1325
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,679
that's how you do this like whole shortcut situation. Like

1326
00:55:32,199 --> 00:55:34,440
that level of mastery I think will be really fun,

1327
00:55:34,519 --> 00:55:37,920
especially when you're playing the game. Let's say, like oftentimes

1328
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,599
I'm maybe playing with my girlfriend or something like that.

1329
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:42,519
You know, there's don't play a lout with Mario Kart,

1330
00:55:42,599 --> 00:55:44,039
so I'm like kind of wiping the floor with it.

1331
00:55:44,039 --> 00:55:45,920
It's like one of my maybe it's a little too boring.

1332
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:47,559
I need a little challenge here, and I feel like

1333
00:55:47,599 --> 00:55:49,920
that that'll be the fun element where it's like, Okay, I

1334
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:51,920
can like work on something like mastering some of these

1335
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,320
courses where someone else can just like go through the

1336
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,599
like linear kind of expected way.

1337
00:55:56,679 --> 00:55:57,559
Speaker 3: But it just feels these.

1338
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,320
Speaker 1: Maps are gonna have a lot of lot more to them,

1339
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,639
and that's where you and also through the single player

1340
00:56:01,679 --> 00:56:05,360
feature like explore some of these crazy out of bounds

1341
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:06,679
shortcuts and things like that too.

1342
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm. That probably is a rewindability too, Is that correct?

1343
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is true, So it doesn't it just rewinds

1344
00:56:13,639 --> 00:56:16,920
you and only you, not everyone else. And I think

1345
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,639
I'm pretty sure I read in the fine print there

1346
00:56:19,679 --> 00:56:21,559
that you can only use that in free rome and

1347
00:56:21,639 --> 00:56:24,559
single player, so don't think that's the thing in multiplayer.

1348
00:56:24,559 --> 00:56:26,360
Like if you could do a Grand Prix race with

1349
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,679
bots and do it, but I don't think you can

1350
00:56:28,679 --> 00:56:30,079
do it with other people. I could be wrong, but

1351
00:56:30,119 --> 00:56:32,719
I think I saw that little asterix line at the

1352
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,519
bottom of the screen when they showed that feature off, okay,

1353
00:56:35,519 --> 00:56:38,320
which I think is great for the single player more so,

1354
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,599
where it's like maybe you're doing some crazy series of

1355
00:56:41,079 --> 00:56:43,639
intense jumps and you mess up at some point and

1356
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:45,920
like just resetting your position to like something that would

1357
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:47,480
otherwise you have to do a full lap to get

1358
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,719
back to. I think that's like a nice smart smart

1359
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:55,159
solution there. Yeah, yeah, I'm excited for costumes. That was

1360
00:56:55,199 --> 00:56:56,639
something we've seen a little bit of before, but it

1361
00:56:56,639 --> 00:56:58,639
seems like a lot of the characters have multiple costumes.

1362
00:56:58,679 --> 00:57:01,840
Like we got like a mad Max looking wall Ouigi, Like,

1363
00:57:02,079 --> 00:57:05,920
hell yeah, that looks fantastic. It seems like the character's

1364
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:07,280
leg screen is going to be a bit of a mess,

1365
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,440
especially when like the like you have to flip through

1366
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,559
multiple pages now, but then like all the costumes are

1367
00:57:11,559 --> 00:57:14,920
like separate character icons, so that's gonna be a total mess.

1368
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,360
But like whatever, I'm down just to have access to

1369
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:21,320
more characters and more costumes and all that. Can I

1370
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,800
give you my theory here, Taylor, because I think one

1371
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:27,719
of the biggest things with like Mario Kart eight was

1372
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:31,519
the first time we've had crossover characters, with the exception

1373
00:57:31,559 --> 00:57:34,039
of I have a distinct memory of it, Mario Kart DS.

1374
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,360
You could play as Rob, like Rob from Smash, like

1375
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:40,199
the Robot. Oh yeah, no idea why he was in

1376
00:57:40,239 --> 00:57:42,320
there as a playable character. Super weird, but he was.

1377
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:44,440
And other than that, it's like, okay, you know if

1378
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,719
you count Diddy Kong and like Funky Kong as crossover characters,

1379
00:57:47,719 --> 00:57:50,280
but like you know, Donkey Kong stuff always integrated into Mario.

1380
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 3: But like Mario Kart.

1381
00:57:51,639 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: Eight, that was a big deal with that game is that,

1382
00:57:53,519 --> 00:57:56,280
Oh you got like your inklanes, you got your villagers,

1383
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,000
you got Link. You don't have Captain Falcolm, but you

1384
00:57:59,039 --> 00:58:01,920
have his ship and you have like some F zero maps.

1385
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,440
We haven't seen any of that so far. It's only

1386
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:07,559
Mario stuff. And like they're bringing out the free show characters.

1387
00:58:07,599 --> 00:58:09,960
You know, you can play as Spiny and Shy Guy

1388
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,159
and Penguin and Cow and all these things like they're

1389
00:58:12,199 --> 00:58:14,760
going deep cut on Mario characters, but we haven't seen

1390
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,920
a single map or character that is not a Mario

1391
00:58:18,159 --> 00:58:22,679
distinct thing. So that's what my theory for DLC for

1392
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,559
this game is gonna be. I think we're gonna get

1393
00:58:24,639 --> 00:58:28,199
separate worlds. You're gonna get like High Rule World, or

1394
00:58:28,239 --> 00:58:31,039
you'll get Animal Crossing World, and those will be like

1395
00:58:31,119 --> 00:58:34,480
little continents or islands or something that either stick onto

1396
00:58:34,519 --> 00:58:36,840
the outside of the map or they yeah, are just

1397
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:39,280
like an island distinct on their own, and they have

1398
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:43,519
like a Grand Prix worth of like there's four Zelda courses,

1399
00:58:43,559 --> 00:58:45,079
you know. You get one at like the top of

1400
00:58:45,119 --> 00:58:48,280
Gruda Mountain, you get one in like Longland Ranch or

1401
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,440
whatever it is. So you kind of get four maps,

1402
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:52,880
you get like maybe two or three or four characters

1403
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,599
from Zelda stuff, and then you get your Animal Crossing one,

1404
00:58:55,639 --> 00:58:57,760
you get your whatever, you get your whatever. Because like

1405
00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:59,440
the way it's set up right now, Yeah, of course

1406
00:58:59,559 --> 00:59:01,719
they could have DLC maps, but like, I don't know

1407
00:59:01,719 --> 00:59:03,960
which Mario character is not in this seems like every

1408
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,800
Mario character under the sun is already playable, So what

1409
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:08,960
would you do for DLC and so that's what I

1410
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:10,159
think we'll get, and I would.

1411
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 3: Love to get like an F zero world.

1412
00:59:12,159 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: I'm just picking on Zelda and Animal Crossing because we

1413
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:16,639
got those worlds in Mario Kart eight. But I think

1414
00:59:16,679 --> 00:59:18,280
that would be a really really fun way, and I

1415
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:21,960
think people would buy that that big time. People would

1416
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,119
spend for that, or they could put it on the

1417
00:59:24,239 --> 00:59:27,440
Nintendo Switch Online as a bonus there as well. I

1418
00:59:27,679 --> 00:59:29,079
would love to see that. What do you think about

1419
00:59:29,119 --> 00:59:29,639
that theory?

1420
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 2: I would love to see that too. I think that

1421
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:33,280
would be awesome yet, because you got, yeah, your whole

1422
00:59:33,719 --> 00:59:36,159
your world here with Mario, and then oh a new

1423
00:59:36,199 --> 00:59:38,440
continent disappeared and you go off to that way and

1424
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:40,880
it's like, oh, here's High Rule, Like, oh this is cool.

1425
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:42,840
It's got a whole bunch of like Legend of Zelda

1426
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:46,239
centric races and grand prize that you can do, and

1427
00:59:46,239 --> 00:59:48,480
then yeah, you get those characters like Gan in Door.

1428
00:59:48,599 --> 00:59:51,599
Speaker 1: Would be your top series, top series that you'd love

1429
00:59:51,639 --> 00:59:52,079
to see.

1430
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:53,239
Speaker 3: Get a.

1431
00:59:57,559 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 2: Hot to Molly Fire emblem one would be pretty cool.

1432
01:00:05,079 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 3: Travis would be pissed. I feel like that happened. That

1433
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:09,400
would be.

1434
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:13,519
Speaker 1: Okay, interesting pick, That's not what I thought you were

1435
01:00:13,559 --> 01:00:16,239
gonna say, what do you think that's that's your top

1436
01:00:16,239 --> 01:00:17,280
pick or are you just trying.

1437
01:00:17,079 --> 01:00:21,519
Speaker 2: To it's top two top two. My number one would

1438
01:00:21,519 --> 01:00:23,320
probably be Legend of Zelda, but I feel like that's

1439
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,960
just would be great. I'd want to spice it up,

1440
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:27,880
and I feel like a fire emblem or a Kirby.

1441
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:29,440
I think you could have some fun with those.

1442
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,679
Speaker 1: Kirby, especially with air Riders coming out. That would be

1443
01:00:31,679 --> 01:00:34,400
a good little unison, Like you could get like a

1444
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:36,480
Little Star as one of the carts, get some Kirby

1445
01:00:36,559 --> 01:00:37,159
characters in there.

1446
01:00:37,159 --> 01:00:39,239
Speaker 3: That could be really cool. I think. I think that's

1447
01:00:39,239 --> 01:00:39,840
a great pick.

1448
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 1: I think forgotten Line or not Forgotten line, but Kirby

1449
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,519
could have a Forgotten Line course in there. I think,

1450
01:00:45,559 --> 01:00:47,880
I mean more have zero stuff. I love those courses

1451
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:50,360
in Mayo eight. I think they're super fun. And it's

1452
01:00:50,639 --> 01:00:54,639
to me absolutely criminal that cap'n Falcon was not officially

1453
01:00:54,679 --> 01:00:56,519
added as a character in that game, even though he

1454
01:00:56,519 --> 01:00:59,119
had courses, Like what is going on? I know he's

1455
01:00:59,119 --> 01:01:03,440
a smaller deal and like villagers and link and stuff,

1456
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:05,960
but come on, put put my boy in there. So

1457
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,480
I'd love to see that. I think a Metroid world

1458
01:01:08,519 --> 01:01:11,159
would be super cool, just like a weird alien world

1459
01:01:11,159 --> 01:01:11,760
where you're going.

1460
01:01:11,679 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 3: Through like the belly.

1461
01:01:13,639 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 1: Of the Beast and there's crazy stuff going on and

1462
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:19,639
metroids are trying to attack you. You get Samus playable,

1463
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:21,920
get Ridley in a car to like hell, yeah, I

1464
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:23,440
think that would be super fun.

1465
01:01:24,639 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 3: So maybe, and I think.

1466
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:29,159
Speaker 1: Oh my pick beyond that though, I think Pickman would

1467
01:01:29,199 --> 01:01:32,079
be cool. Just get like get like a mini you know,

1468
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:34,320
your mini characters in like a huge world where you're

1469
01:01:34,679 --> 01:01:36,199
because we kind of got that Mark Cat I remember

1470
01:01:36,199 --> 01:01:37,239
we got that bathroom level.

1471
01:01:37,639 --> 01:01:39,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can get like a bunch of things like.

1472
01:01:39,639 --> 01:01:42,199
Speaker 3: That, which I think would be really really cool.

1473
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 2: Could you see a Sonic like Green Hill Zone world

1474
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:47,079
or something like that.

1475
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:49,079
Speaker 3: I think that would be a great idea.

1476
01:01:49,159 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, I think that would be like for the

1477
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,320
first time for it to go outside Nintendo properties, the

1478
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:57,840
first time it goes third party. I think that'd be

1479
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:00,239
honestly a great pick. And that's fitting because Smash was

1480
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:02,800
the first time that had third party characters was with

1481
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:06,400
Brawl where they had Sonic and Snake, so obviously two

1482
01:02:06,599 --> 01:02:08,920
separate ips in there. But yeah, like Sonic was of

1483
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,199
course one of the first two third parties to make

1484
01:02:11,199 --> 01:02:12,599
it into smash, So I think that I think that'd

1485
01:02:12,599 --> 01:02:16,280
be fitting. I think that'd be really cool. And isn't

1486
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,159
that a really a thing though? Isn't like Sonic cart

1487
01:02:18,239 --> 01:02:19,159
Racing a game?

1488
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 2: Mm? It is? I remember playing it at a party.

1489
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 3: Is it a new game or an old game? Where

1490
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:29,119
is there?

1491
01:02:29,159 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 2: I want to say it's older. I remember there might

1492
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:31,880
be multiple.

1493
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 1: I feel like a new one came out somewhat recently,

1494
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:38,840
not to say that that would be disqualified from being here.

1495
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:40,400
I was just thinking it'd be weird for Sonic to

1496
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:42,760
be a fast character, but like, why would he be

1497
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:43,159
in a car?

1498
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 3: Can't he just like run faster than a car.

1499
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 2: But then it's like, you know, Sonic team racing. So

1500
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:48,760
this came out on the.

1501
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 1: Switch to actually it looks yeah, And I mean there

1502
01:02:51,519 --> 01:02:53,400
was also like Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games.

1503
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:55,400
They've crossed over many times before, So I think that

1504
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:57,840
would be I think that'd be a really good pick. Yeah,

1505
01:02:58,239 --> 01:03:01,239
and you'd get like the whole crew, get like Sonic Shadow,

1506
01:03:02,159 --> 01:03:04,480
tails and Knuckles or something like that, get like full

1507
01:03:04,559 --> 01:03:05,280
characters in there.

1508
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:06,599
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1509
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,039
Speaker 1: I think that'd be cool, and I think people would

1510
01:03:09,519 --> 01:03:12,280
pony up even more dollars on this expensive game to

1511
01:03:12,719 --> 01:03:16,599
get access to something like that. From the maps that

1512
01:03:16,639 --> 01:03:19,679
we did see in game, were there any highlights to you,

1513
01:03:19,679 --> 01:03:22,400
any maps that sound know that you're excited to race?

1514
01:03:23,519 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 2: Just give me something that's like Movemu Meadows all over again,

1515
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,440
because that's what Metal is back. It looks like, yeah,

1516
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:30,199
that's back for sure. I knew the cow is back

1517
01:03:30,199 --> 01:03:30,719
as a character.

1518
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, they talked about how the maps, like some of

1519
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:35,000
those OGI ones are back, but of course they have

1520
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,679
to contextualize them within like the realm of the greater world,

1521
01:03:38,159 --> 01:03:40,000
so they're in there, and yeah, they're like, you definitely

1522
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,199
see Moon move Metas in there. Maybe not in this direct,

1523
01:03:42,199 --> 01:03:44,840
but in like the previous trailer we saw that, so

1524
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,320
I think that's definitely in there, which is yeah, a

1525
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:51,199
classic from sixty four Boo Cinema I think looks really fun.

1526
01:03:51,239 --> 01:03:55,159
It's like a creepy Boo haunted level mixed with a cinema.

1527
01:03:55,199 --> 01:03:57,760
So you're like going through, you're like driving into a

1528
01:03:57,880 --> 01:03:58,760
huge movie screen.

1529
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,440
Speaker 3: But then it just like fades away. That looked really fun.

1530
01:04:01,599 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 1: Warrio's Shipyard, like it feels like there may just be

1531
01:04:04,559 --> 01:04:06,000
like a creepy area of the map where there's a.

1532
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:08,639
Speaker 3: Bunch of creepy ass horror levels.

1533
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:10,519
Speaker 1: And like, I feel like that's gonna be my jam

1534
01:04:10,559 --> 01:04:13,199
because I always love the we Just mansion level, the

1535
01:04:13,239 --> 01:04:17,880
Bowser levels, So very excited for those. Yeah, I mentioned

1536
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,559
the old maps kind of can getting contextualized. I mean

1537
01:04:20,599 --> 01:04:22,400
because of this world element, Like there's a whole day

1538
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:25,239
night cycle in this game, so every map will have

1539
01:04:25,239 --> 01:04:27,519
a little bit more variety in that way because of that,

1540
01:04:27,599 --> 01:04:30,519
Like you'll just have I don't know how that's gonna

1541
01:04:30,519 --> 01:04:32,039
work for Grand Prix if it's always the same, it's

1542
01:04:32,039 --> 01:04:34,559
probably just random, But I think that'll be cool to

1543
01:04:34,599 --> 01:04:36,559
get a little day night mixture.

1544
01:04:36,199 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 3: For each of these.

1545
01:04:37,159 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 1: Absolutely, it seems like you no longer picked the wheels

1546
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:42,880
for your car. You just pick your and you don't

1547
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,800
I don't think you picked the parasol or the umbrella thing.

1548
01:04:46,719 --> 01:04:48,400
I think you just pick your car now. So I

1549
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:49,760
think they've simplified that a bit.

1550
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:53,559
Speaker 2: Okay, so it's not as heavily like customizable then with

1551
01:04:53,639 --> 01:04:54,639
different stats.

1552
01:04:55,039 --> 01:04:57,039
Speaker 1: I think maybe it's just more customizable because you have

1553
01:04:57,079 --> 01:04:59,440
more characters and like I don't know if like Mario

1554
01:04:59,519 --> 01:05:03,039
has stat but then like Cowboy Mario has different stats

1555
01:05:03,039 --> 01:05:05,159
and then Sushi Chef Mario has different stats. I don't

1556
01:05:05,159 --> 01:05:06,519
know if that's how they would do it, Like maybe

1557
01:05:06,519 --> 01:05:08,679
you get a little customization there of like certain ones

1558
01:05:08,679 --> 01:05:12,400
are quicker or slower or something. So yeah, I'm not

1559
01:05:12,559 --> 01:05:16,159
too sure how that works. New items. There's actually a

1560
01:05:16,199 --> 01:05:18,920
lot of them. There's a coin shell which.

1561
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 3: You throw out.

1562
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 1: It looks like a bit of a red shell follows

1563
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,000
the path, but it drops coins behind it. I'm guessing

1564
01:05:23,039 --> 01:05:25,559
coins increase your Mac speed and maybe I used to

1565
01:05:25,559 --> 01:05:29,199
buy unlocks or something. Not too sure. Ice flour that's

1566
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:32,719
a great addition. Hammer like the hammer Bro Hammers. I

1567
01:05:32,719 --> 01:05:36,280
think that's gonna be really fun. That's the one I'm

1568
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:38,719
really excited for as well. The Mega Mushroom, which you

1569
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:40,800
turn into a giant for a bit. I'm pretty sure

1570
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:43,960
that was in the Mario Kart Wii, so I think

1571
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:46,679
that's a callback one, but I could be wrong about that.

1572
01:05:47,599 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 3: It looks cool.

1573
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:50,079
Speaker 1: The feather, as I mentioned earlier, which is like just

1574
01:05:50,079 --> 01:05:52,159
gives you a vertical boost, which seems like it's mostly

1575
01:05:52,239 --> 01:05:54,719
used to either dodge things on the ground like a

1576
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:58,840
shell coming for you, or used to access shortcuts, and

1577
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:01,800
then the other one is cam in. Camic will like

1578
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:03,920
come in here and use magic Spell, which seems like

1579
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:05,679
it has like a bit of a random effect. So

1580
01:06:05,719 --> 01:06:07,880
I'm guessing that means that Camic's not a racer anymore,

1581
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:09,719
which he wasn't Deluxe.

1582
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 3: Right, So that's sad.

1583
01:06:11,039 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: If you're a comic diehard fan, Yeah, you have every

1584
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:15,760
other character under the sun, so I'm sure that's fine.

1585
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:17,639
So that's like a lot of new items. I feel

1586
01:06:17,639 --> 01:06:19,480
like every Mariocard has like one or two new items,

1587
01:06:19,519 --> 01:06:21,880
but this one has like six or seven, so I

1588
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:23,599
feel like they went above and beyond with the with

1589
01:06:23,639 --> 01:06:24,760
the new items.

1590
01:06:25,039 --> 01:06:26,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, love it.

1591
01:06:28,159 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 1: What else we talked about the free room a bit.

1592
01:06:30,039 --> 01:06:33,679
There's the Knockout Tour mode, which nothing really new in

1593
01:06:33,719 --> 01:06:35,599
the direct about that, but that looks like a cool.

1594
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 3: Mode, a little Battle Royale element.

1595
01:06:37,719 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 1: You know, up to twenty four racers, that's huge, and

1596
01:06:40,719 --> 01:06:43,079
because that you can have it like four teams if

1597
01:06:43,079 --> 01:06:44,840
you're doing like team races, which is cool. Not that

1598
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,480
I know twenty three people who are going to have

1599
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:49,599
this game and I can never take advantage of that, really,

1600
01:06:49,639 --> 01:06:53,119
but it's cool. Nonetheless, I think that's pretty much it.

1601
01:06:53,159 --> 01:06:55,000
You know, a lot of people were pretty disappointed with

1602
01:06:55,039 --> 01:06:57,199
the direct, which I'm kind of confused by it, Like,

1603
01:06:57,199 --> 01:06:58,599
I feel like it showed off a lot of cool things,

1604
01:06:58,639 --> 01:07:00,880
a lot of great footage, me even more hype for

1605
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:04,320
the game. Confirm that I, you know, definitely getting the

1606
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:06,920
Mario Kart Bundle for the Switch. I definitely want this game,

1607
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:10,519
and so yeah, easy day one purchase for a lot

1608
01:07:10,519 --> 01:07:13,159
of people. And I think I think a lot of

1609
01:07:13,159 --> 01:07:16,000
people will go for that bundle. Why wouldn't you, Oh yeah,

1610
01:07:16,079 --> 01:07:17,360
very much looking forward to this game.

1611
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:24,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think the bundle. I think there's

1612
01:07:24,159 --> 01:07:25,719
a lot of parents to think, Okay, we just want

1613
01:07:25,719 --> 01:07:27,440
the console, that's it, and they're not going to be

1614
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:29,679
quickly doing the math and like, oh, I should have

1615
01:07:29,679 --> 01:07:32,480
got the bundle because you're saving money technically instead of

1616
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:35,519
paying like ninety or one hundred dollars or whatever it

1617
01:07:35,559 --> 01:07:35,840
is for.

1618
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 1: So you saved like thirty forty bucks by getting the

1619
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:38,800
bundle essentially.

1620
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:43,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean this is just this is Mario

1621
01:07:43,199 --> 01:07:46,599
Kart is such a staple and any Nintendo console, I

1622
01:07:46,679 --> 01:07:48,360
have got to have Mario Kart and gotta have a

1623
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:51,840
Mario party. So I'm very much looking forward to this thing.

1624
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:52,800
It's gonna be a lot of fun.

1625
01:07:53,239 --> 01:07:57,239
Speaker 3: Are you gonna get the Jamboree Update Jamboree TV?

1626
01:07:59,119 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 2: Oh that was like a whole bunch of new mini

1627
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:03,719
games in the Mario Party games.

1628
01:08:03,719 --> 01:08:08,239
Speaker 1: It's like a lot of it or yeah, I don't Yeah,

1629
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:09,719
I guess I think that, Yeah, a lot of them

1630
01:08:09,719 --> 01:08:13,639
with like the mouse control adding that, but it's also

1631
01:08:13,719 --> 01:08:16,520
like incorporating like the camera, which I'm guessing you're not

1632
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:19,119
getting the webcam camera thing.

1633
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:21,039
Speaker 2: I don't have any need for it now.

1634
01:08:21,159 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, So yeah, it seems like you're kind of paying

1635
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:25,840
for mostly that camera stuff and then like a couple of.

1636
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:26,560
Speaker 3: New mini games.

1637
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:29,319
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know if you need to shell

1638
01:08:29,359 --> 01:08:30,359
out twenty bucks for that.

1639
01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 2: No, No, I can't justify that, you know, if it

1640
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,279
was like four ninety nine, sure, but it's around twenty

1641
01:08:35,319 --> 01:08:35,960
bucks or more.

1642
01:08:36,279 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 1: It's yeah, which that finally came out, and I think

1643
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:42,119
they were they because you know, I think when you

1644
01:08:42,119 --> 01:08:44,039
look at like PlayStation and stuff, like for most of

1645
01:08:44,039 --> 01:08:46,079
their games that they've had the upgrade, like PS five

1646
01:08:46,159 --> 01:08:48,279
upgrade for it's pretty much always like ten bucks across

1647
01:08:48,279 --> 01:08:51,079
the board, I think. But it seems like Nintendo's taking

1648
01:08:51,119 --> 01:08:53,640
more of a variable approach where they're basing it on

1649
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:55,560
how much work I guess they put into it, where

1650
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:57,319
it seems like some of them, like I read that

1651
01:08:57,399 --> 01:08:59,359
Kirby is like twenty bucks. I think that's us too,

1652
01:08:59,399 --> 01:09:02,600
so it maybe twenty five Canadian like I wanted to

1653
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:04,359
play that and I love that game, but I'm not

1654
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:07,079
shouting out twenty five bucks for like one new level

1655
01:09:07,199 --> 01:09:09,600
or something, So I don't know. We'll see what they

1656
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:11,840
do there, but yeah, it seems like they're going to

1657
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:19,039
be keeping the prices variable and all that. Any other

1658
01:09:19,159 --> 01:09:22,600
thoughts about Mario Kart or any switch to stuff that

1659
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:25,199
was hot on your mind here.

1660
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:27,560
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think that's it.

1661
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:30,359
Speaker 3: Okay, sounds good. Thank you for joining me.

1662
01:09:30,359 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 1: This is a fun little dual Mario Kart Oblivion episode,

1663
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:36,039
