Speaker 1: It's the Internet. You're busy, Let's do this. Welcome to
the Game Asticides podcast. This is the podcast where we
decide everything about the world of video games so you
never have to think for yourself. I'm your host Jeff
Grubb and with.
Speaker 2: Me is Mike Manati.
Speaker 1: In today's episode, there was that Mario Kart Direct Oblivion
is still happening, what's up with Marathon and Open Critic game.
I've been looking forward to checking in on this, although
I definitely remember a few times a few games coming
out and me going damn it because I think I
did bad on a couple of them for sure, and
I don't remember any wins. But we'll see how that goes.
Looking forward to getting the roost were also.
Speaker 2: It's like we had wild differences. No, we usually like
go like a point or two away from the dress.
Speaker 1: We'll see, Yeah, definitely, And it's you know what, I think,
at least half the games, I think we want to
be on the same number and then we have to
kind of go different just to like create some separation
and stuff. Yeah, so we'll see. I'm looking forward to
getting the results. Are Sean. Are we doing both the
games and the guessing like the results and the guessing
our results and guess.
Speaker 3: The results and the guessing.
Speaker 1: Yep, all right, cool, right, well that's that'll be the
second half of the show, everybody, so stick around for
that in the you know, until then. Mike Manatti, how
are you doing.
Speaker 2: I'm good.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 2: Doing a lot of podcasts. We'd be doing a podcast
every single night of the week. Isn't the healthiest thing
in the world. I still like doing them though. It's
so fun, right like that.
Speaker 1: I mean, if we didn't like doing them, it was
like we would not be in this situation in the
first place. That's a big part of it. But yeah,
you know, anything gets to be a lot at some point,
you know, we people here it next week, we helped
out dance with his show, and then you you have
like it's the middle of the month, so I'm assuming
you have a nineties Disney that you've either.
Speaker 2: Just weren ninety Disney tomorrow jesus.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you really do have one tonight?
Speaker 2: Okay, that's too tonight we did the game mess Game Club.
Speaker 1: What's right? Oh my god. Yeah, So it's been a lot,
but again we do like doing it, so it's like
light complaints really just like being like, yeah, it looks
for some time off when I can get in, and
so I'm looking.
Speaker 2: Forward to Disney World, Jeff, I'm looking real forward to
Disney World, Sean.
Speaker 1: Do do you Nikki? And does anyone know if we
have a three day weekend because it's Easter. Do we
have Monday off? I don't know if that, I don't
know if it works that way.
Speaker 3: Probably you do.
Speaker 2: The calendar, Okay, calendar.
Speaker 4: Is in your country at Christian Country, God, Devin.
Speaker 1: It is definitely now for sure.
Speaker 2: But my calendar, my calendar says nothing about it. So Nikki, yeah,

Speaker 1: We do? Thank you? All right. Well, so someone tells
Jean Chris scheduled that meeting for Mondane. I'm like, yeah,

Speaker 4: Jesus?
Speaker 1: We talked we we did talk about Jesus a lot
on fire Escape. So people I want to they want
to have a good Easter Sunday podcast.
Speaker 2: There you go think I think I think they got
a letter saying that there's too much political talk. So
we talked about religion a bunch instead. It's always a
good it was a good time, was a lot. That
was a lot of fun. So yeah, I assume on
Monday that's coming out when their shows come out. So yeah,

least in the Discord. All right, I think with that
out of the way, let's talk about the big topics
of the week, starting with Mario Kart World Direct. You know,
the details are out there there, they're known. We knew
most of this stuff. I thought it looks really I
think it looks really good. I do think that other like,
I'm not at a point where I'm thinking about, oh,
that game's eighty dollars, because I am going to try
to get the bundle when this becomes And so for me,
this game is not going to be eighty dollars, or
if it is, then that means the switch to is
four hundred and twenty dollars. Whatever I am. So when
I went to that direct, it's like, I'm I know
I'm gonna get this game, so I'm just looking for
all the stuff that's going to make it fun. I
think a lot of people are watching it trying to
be like, why is this game eighty dollars? And I
think from that point of view, a lot of people
came away disappointed, And I kind of don't blame them,
because there is no reason it's eighty dollars. It's eight. Well,
probably know the reason. We know, we know, we know
the reason to do the game. It's not in the
direct exactly.
Speaker 4: Then.
Speaker 1: The reason is how much Mario Kart eight Deluxe sold.
And you know there's when there's that much demand, you
feel comfortable raising the price of something. And that's it.
That's the whole thing. That's the entirety of what happened there,
And at a certain point, I also feel like, well,
what can I do about that? I want this game.
I'm gonna get the game. I'm gonna pay them the
money that they want for it. But I don't know,
do you blame anyone for not being like for like
watching that trying to be like, tell me why it's
eighty dollars.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't blame them. I don't know if
they're ever going to get an answer for that. It's
maybe a fruitless endeavor. I just know how I feel.
And I'm not the biggest Mario Kart fean in the world,
but I'm really excited for this one. I like almost
everything that they're doing. I like some of the new mechanics,
like the super hop and the kind of instead of
the gravity stuff, there's just wall running basically, and I
love wall running. I guess wall driving you'll call it here.
The grinding, the idea that these costumes are collectibles really
and you sort of earn them by doing the races
and then you unlock those forever. I like the open
world stuff. The one weird thing I've been seeing there's
a couple places of people saying, oh, that open world
looks so empty.
Speaker 1: You carry judge based on that. First of all, I
don't think it looks empty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I just I don't know. I don't
think it does. I heard that complain about open world
games when they're period all the time, and I'm always
very if you especially games where you're going fast. I
think it was like a point where Sonic Frontiers and
some people like, oh, the world looks so empty. I'm like, well,
he's got to run, you know, he's got to have
some space to move, and you know you're in the car.
There was also, I don't know, a million things you're doing.
I also like the ocean and wind Wickers. I don't
mind having some stretches there. I think it makes makes
it fun. But I don't know what here.
Speaker 1: I don't know what people want from open worlds. I
think I think I legit. Just don't know what they want.
Because you are you saying you want it to be
completely littered with stuff every three feet. The whole idea,
I don't know if that means. Yeah, the whole idea
is you drive through an open space so that when
you discover something it feels special. That's you know how
it works for me now, I've definitely said stuff like
that in the pasted about a game like Starfield, and
then then you know that missed the mark in some ways.
I don't expect that to be a similar problem here.
I think what's gonna happen is it's gonna be informed
by the people who made friggin Breath of the Wild where,
which is a great game. It's like you go over
the hill because you saw like a glint or something.
You go over there and you find something. Now, is
it a corerox seed? Are you excited about co rox seeds?
Maybe you're not. I am. And if I find a
special little good goodie around every little corner, or maybe
not even every little corner, I'm gonna be pretty excited.
And then you know, we've already heard stories about Jesse
Fatelly being the only one at this event who found
the UFO and he was able to drive it around.
To me, that that tells the story there that there
is more going on in that open world. But I
get people are always going to like side with their
skeptical side, especially when someone's asking them to pay eighty dollars.
I get how this happens. I just don't necessarily you
know the christs are always disconnected. Go ahead, sorry, Mike.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm able to like separate. Yeah, criticize that price,
but like, what would the game be able to do
to justify that or not? Nothing? Really, they're kind of
two separate things at some ultimate point here, right, Like,
you know what, what game gives you the greatest value?
You could argue with something like Fortnite, which is free
to play. You get some content you can pay for,
but yeah, that it's a fruitless devor criticize the price.
I don't know if you had to saw have to
tie like the content of the game into it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now to be fair, And I I wasn't thinking
this until just now, so I was not making this
point either. But that Nintendo takes some of the blame
for that, right, because it was was it Doug Bowser
or was it it was one of the executive maybe
Nate Dildorf or one of the other ones that said, Hey,
the reason that the game is eighty dollars is because
there is so much in there. That's how we decided
the price. It's it's about the content specifically. So Nintendo's fault.
They shouldn't say that that's a dumb thing to say.
Speaker 2: But right, and I get why they want to say that,
because they don't want to say that, well, we can
get away with that, we think, yep, we think that
you know, the sales will lose will be offset by
the gains from the high price. And they don't want
to talk about economics to people because they're Nintendo. And
it's very much like Disney. Sorry that to equate it,
but you know Disney, even when they have to talk
corporate like and they do, they still want everything to
be a magic, happy, fairytale world, which doesn't really work
with the harsh realities of global economics. Right. It's the
same thing with Nintendo here, So it puts them in
these awkward situations, don't they put themselves into these awkward situations.
But hey, look the price is not coming down, right,
We're still a little worried about going up. Probably not
going to happen, at least not for this game. But
it's it's not coming down, yep.
Speaker 1: I think I said it at the end of our talkover,
which is on Giant Bomb. People should go check that out.
There might be a there's a shorter version that will
end up on game Spot. I think think that might
be happening soon. But I think I said at the
end of that that you know, right now, this is
my most anticipated game, like I know, Metroids coming, Grand Theft,
Auto six, a whole bunch of other stuff, Like I
just want to be play in this game, And honestly,
the idea of driving around an open world Mario Kart,
finding costumes for some of my favorite characters and hanging
out with y'all and my family and stuff like that
just sounds fantastic. So really really looking forward to this
one man.
Speaker 2: And there are some really cool looking courses here, DK Spaceport,
Boo Cinema, like yeah, right, a drive in theater, the
thing it seem like the Boo almost stressed, like a
kind of like a Draculact kind of thing almost. The costumes,
I'll go at the stuff are there are returning tracks,
which is happy. I did want to see that it's happening,
so we do have all of that, Like Warrio Stadium,
Mario Shipyard.
Speaker 1: What's the beach level from six four? Isn't that in there? Oh?
Speaker 2: The beach beach from double dashes here in Koopa Beach
Coop beach to the beach. Yeah, so I'm I think
the game looks fantastic. Tons of characters there. I mean, look, honestly,
is a lot of content also. And I don't think
it means that it's worth eighty dollars per se or
whatever that means for you.
Speaker 1: But there is.
Speaker 2: It looks like there's a ton of content here. I
Am going to be pretty happy and I can't wait
for it.
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, I And you know, we've talked to Dan
who's played it. I've seen a lot of other people
who play. Everyone who's playing the game is just like,
this is fun, this is a good time. Here's all
the reasons it's fun. And I'm like, I'm eating it
up like that sounds fantastic to me. So yes, I
came out of that direct feeling very good. Don't blame
anyone who continues to feel burnt by the price for sure.
All right, Oblivion stuff happened. More oblivion stuff happened this week.
A bunch of leaks. We talked a little bit about it,
mentioned it on Less than ten Dogs. I think maybe
we mentioned it somewhere else. I can't keep track anymore,
but either way, that is still going to shadow drop
next week. Kind of got a confirmation that, you know,
despite all of this stuff happening, like the leak's happening,
didn't change anything. Plan is still to drop it next week. Yeah,
I'm really looking forward to it. We saw the screenshots.
I think they look pretty good. People are now starting
to talk about Fall that three, something I've not asked
about or heard about personally, but I think Nathan Hates
said it's still a ways off, but it is in
the works essentially exactly. Why wouldn't you You're doing all
this work for that engine, you probably would want to
just pull the trigger on that as well. I'm excited.
I think this is a good move to like keep
Elder Scrolls, you know, feeling fresh. As you know, I'm
sure Elder Scroll six is still a few years away.
Speaker 2: It's almost a necessary move because yeah, Older Scroll six
is still so far away, and they look they got
a lot of juice out of Skyrim there and that
has finally dried up for real now. I think you
can't get people excited about another port. They even found
a way to make it a meme that we all
laughed along with with them. R hah, you little rascal
trying to sell a Skyrim again.
Speaker 1: They released it on Alexa, right, and that was like
one of their jokes or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's like you you so silly and it's
like no one cares, and yeah, you don't want to
go too long. You know, Dragon Age Veilgar had a
lot of problems. I do think part of it is
that it was so long since Inquisition, Uh, like that game.
Maybe that franchise could have benefited from a remaster compilation
of some of the older games and you know, just
it's different. But just look how well Resident Evil does
because of all the remakes it does and bundles and packages. Yeah,
I believe it's also just a really good game. So
I'm excited to be able to play it again.
Speaker 1: Yep, exactly. You know, people in chat mentioned and I
wonder if it's going to feel dated things like that.
It's you know, there's word that they're updating some things
like combat, and I think they said something like reactions,
which I'm assuming means reactions that the enemies make when
you attack them, Like it's going going to look more realistic.
That's kind of stuff. That's I mean, I bet there's
tools built in Unreal Engine five that just does that stuff.
For them, so yeah, you.
Speaker 2: Know, you know me, Jeff, I almost like get irritated.
It's like, I don't like, maybe the combat isn't gonna
feel like the Witcher. But Oblivion did some things better
than a lot of games still uh don't do as
well to this day.
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's a common complaint, right I. I
I agree with you. I like the way Oblivion feels,
but it's like I'm filling in the gaps with my
imagination and I'm I'm not just okay with that. I
really enjoy that. Some people are like, no, this looks cheap,
and I hate it, and so there's people are gonna
want are gonna want to hear that. I do think
it's also like an easy sort of back of the
box thing that if you're if you are doing this
what they're calling a remaster, although we can talk about
what that means. I think, you know whatever, but it's
like that's an easy thing.
Speaker 2: People just using that word more and more for things
that look like remakes to me these days, man.
Speaker 1: I think you know, I don't have a clear definition personally,
but I agree to I tend agree with what you
and Sean usually say, which is like, if you're remaking
all the assets, that's a remake. But it does feel
like the industry is leaning towards like calling those remasters
like that's happened.
Speaker 2: It's because like the industry doesn't usually like to short
cell itself, right, right, So it's bizarre.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder if there's just like a common agreement
among developers there, like you know, we're it's remastering the
way like you're remastering an album or something like that.
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, yeah, that's what I was to say. Yeah,
maybe it's like the movie industry kind of like, oh,
we've we found this this tape.
Speaker 1: It's a new scan of the film of the negative.
Speaker 4: It is not like a remake of the movie, because
a remake in Hollywood is we make a new movie.
It's the same movie from before, but it's a new
movie and master is no, this is the old movie
issues upgraded or whatever.
Speaker 2: And it's just like, because you know, we do have
a problem where there there are the Resident Evil found
fancy style remakes, and then there are the remasters like
night Dive does, and now there are these one to
one remakes, and we maybe need to come up with
a better word for that then I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, it's uh, But for now, it's like, yeah,
clearly it's just a word, and whatever they think they mean,
whatever we think we mean when we're saying that word.
All that matters is the game itself, and I think
it looks I'm it looks impressive based on the screenshots
that we've seen. Really excited. I love Oblivion, ready to
get back into it. And then marathon gameplay got revealed
over the weekend on Saturday. You know, it feels like
it's got this really tough uphill climb to convince people
that they're going to like an extraction shooter. I think
the bulk of these people having this reaction have never
played an extraction shooter for likely good reasons. They're not
interested in it. But you know, it's Bungee, right, and
I think Bunge's going to put out a shooter that
feels fun to play, and it is probably going to
be pretty accessible, So I'm ready to give them the
benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 2: Yeah I am too, Jeff. I guess my surprise is
how much I've been seeing people who aren't and I
don't know if it's you know, Concord's getting brought up
all the time, and I think it's it's fair in
some ways it be skeptical, But there was another part
of me, It's like, what does Marathon really have to
do with Concord. I don't I don't know, but yeah,
so many people have been burned by Sony I suppose
life service games, even though again a Bungee thing. It
feels like for me and some people have been burned
by Bungee because they are sort of unceremoniously winding down destiny.
I know that there was a destiny to something something
getting announced, but it's not like as big as the
expansions used to be. I think a lot of people, uh,
you know, as popular as extras shooters got. There's a
lot of people who aren't interested in it actually, and
maybe unlike Battle Royale, it didn't kind of reach an
even bigger audience that maybe they thought it would have
at the point when they were getting ready to release Marathon. Perhaps,
I'm not sure. We'll see if maybe they win people
over with that beta phase that's always so Important's honestly
like it was the beta phase with Concord when we
already knew the game was kind of cooked.
Speaker 1: Yep, exactly. Yeah, we knew right away right there was
that people could pre order and get into beta, and
no one did, so they like made it free and
it's like that's where like, oh, we know what's happening here. Yeah,
I'm I'm I'm ready just like to pick up a controller,
you know, or mouse and keyboard whatever. But it's Bungie,
So pick up a controller and uh, keyboard, baby, it'll
be a mouse and keyboard. But but just like see
how it feels, and I bet it's gonna feel fantastic.
And I'm kind of I'm kind of in the mode
for a bunch of shooter that feels great, So especially
when that's fresh and I can go from the ground up. Christian,
you are your destiny freak? Uh And I put a
hard f on there. You're a destiny freak. How are
you feeling about.
Speaker 4: Marpit I I I'm so I'm sold that stuff as well, right, Yeah,
I'm a charcoal freak. I'm a Hound Showdown freak. I mean,
I was just playing Haunt Showdown and I hope they
capture the time to capture new audiences. And when I
was watching the stream, I didn't realize that pretty much
everyone who they show on the stream, like every a
streamer was a tarcob streamer, and I don't think the
regular people know who they are. I was really excited
to see the Radskin. That guy is really funny targo player,
but I don't think the regular person's gonna be like, oh,
look at that guy from Tarkov. Nobody knows that. So
the messaging is kind of weird, but I'm pretty excited.
It looks cool. I love the art lot, the concepts
they have for the maps. Apparently there's a map in
the marathon itself that is more akin to a Raid
and Destiny where you go through different rooms collecting keys
and at the end you find like a boss, a
giant boss. So that sounds pretty cool to me. That's
not it's not done in Extraction Shooter. So yeah. And
the reaction from the people, I don't know. Some people
are such doomers all the time, and I said it
as a doomer myself. I sn't bunch of people know
how much I hate. And she's doing cheaty stuff like
firing people, like the micro transaction. All that kind of
stuff is bunchie. Is bad at that and I said
it all the time, but come on, it's a new game.
I have faith. I was. I was pretty bummed out,
like the Destiny by the Destiny and bunch of buys
were kind of off. But as soon as I saw
the gameplay, I was like, okay, I'm back in. Yeah, yeah,
I'm pretty exciting.
Speaker 1: And you know, there are a lot of people who
do play Tarkoff. That is a game that has like
a massive audience, and you know, I don't know how
much you can trust it, but there's like sites that
track that stuff, and it has like ninety thousand concurrent
players according to at least one platform right now, and
stuff like that, so there's a huge audience for this
kind of game.
Speaker 4: The most important people who play Tarkov invest a lot
of money in Tarkov. I played over one hundred and
fifty dollars in that video game. And there's people. I
see a lot of people when you when you go
into a raid in Tarco, you can see everybody who's
looking for a group, and like half of the players
on that list have the most expensive two hundred and
fifty dollars version of that game, which is crazy because
that version people hated it. They were like, no, we
hate this fuck off battle say games, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: And that's why they do anyway, That's why, that's why
the developers do it because and that's why you know
a bunch of would go after the space because you know,
we can get a healthy sized audience. But the audience
we're gonna get it is gonna be super engaged in
spending a lot of money. That's why it's so appealing.
So yeah, well see.
Speaker 4: It is this type of games is straight up crack
okaying for the people that they wants to chase that
that adrendomly feeling when you're playing a shooter you don't
get in any other type of shooter. Let's as a reality,
you don't get it. When you put your stuff in
the line to do a quest or a task or
whatever you want to call it, in that game, you
your your heart is pumping. I felt that right. There's
no other game who can get get you going like that.
So yeah, they're definitely chasing that. And I don't know people, Okay,
this is the thing that annoys me the most people
is comparing it with Destiny One when they're like they
have no story truths like Destiny one. You know, that's
not what happened with Destiny one. They did have a
story and then they someone made a decision where they
had to get rid of the story and like come
up with something well cards or whatever, and then yeah,
oh wait, I think I think Manton is a way
better position than Destiny one. Ever it was before lunch,
because they have at least they have a structure for
the narrative, which in Destiny One they did not have.
That's why we had the fucking cards. Otherwise they would
have like a better story. So that's compression. It's weird
to me.
Speaker 2: But what you're saying is, so they didn't have a
good story though.
Speaker 4: Destiny one. No, it don't. It didn't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so I don't know if I care about
the story in Marathon. Yeah, Jeff, what do you think
about the oh, you're fine. What do you think about
the pricing thing?
Speaker 1: Jeff? Yeah, so they've not given a price. It's not
going to be free to play. I think there was
a week while back, so it's gonna be forty dollars. Yeah.
I think at a certain point they're making the game
and they're like building it around I think we should
have a premium price right where Bungee, we should charge
for this, And then it gets to a point where
it's like they see concord appen and maybe they thought
maybe we can blink and go free to play, but
it's probably actually too late. They're probably committed to what
they're doing. So yeah, and like I don't they can
still put it in like PlayStation Plus and all that stuff. Yeah, Christian,
what are you gonna say?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: Yeah, before I interrupted, I don't trust Bungie with free
to play shit. They Destiny too free to play. It's
not a good version of that game. And when they
try to do they have the very store when it
is the whole in game store where you spend real money.
That's not a good thing either. So I hope, I
know there's other treasure shooters that are free to play,
and that they're not. They don't work very well because
of balancing and the stuff that they can sell you.
Maybe they can do a freedom play version when they
sell you skins and not gonna stuff, but it's just
maybe charge forty. The games are going to be one
hundred bucks, so for you, it seems like a pretty
good price to me.
Speaker 1: Right, you know what I mean? Yeah, I think that they.
I don't know if it'll be as much of a
problem for Marathon as long as a bunch you can
really like spin up the marketing and say the new
game from the people made Halo and Destiny, they stand
a better change. I mean, I just think this is
a different situation than Concord. So we'll see. Clearly, we
are in a world with a lot of free to
play shooters and they're not going to go away. They're
still going to be there and be free, so you
have to compete with them. That's going to be a
problem for for Marathon, but it is going to be
different than a lot of those games, and maybe it'll
be so different that people won't be able to ignore it.
But yeah, I definitely like the idea of getting into
a game, going online, getting a bunch of stuff, and
putting that stuff at risk by trying to survive and
extract with that. That that sounds very intense and dramatic.
So yes, I think that is to me, that sounds
very appealing. So I bet it's going to work with
a lot of that audience.
Speaker 4: All right, we'll see when they do the open beta.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly right, and that's later this month, so people
are signing up for that now I think.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, well lady, this month is the close alpha,
which is under NDA, which makes no fucking sense. What
are you doing? This is? This is a see I'm
shooting on enough? Why would you do that? Shoes Let
people stream. We all know it's an alpha, we know
what you're going to change it that people understand that
now it's it's gonna be under any But I hope
they make like multiple open betas and they probably will.
Speaker 1: You know, that's all part of the marketing.
Speaker 2: Now, Hey, can I give you some weird Star Wars?
I guess the Star Wars celebration. Whatever's happening right now?
Speaker 1: James is there?
Speaker 2: Tokyo, Wow, Tokyo. They announced the new movie, which you know,
these movies almost never get made. This is the one
from Sean Levy and with Ryan Gosling called Star Wars Firefighter. Okay.
I was so worried that was Starfighter for us, Like
there's already a Starfighter like Star Wars. Are they making
a Burning Rangers?
Speaker 1: I hope they're making a Burning Rangers in Star Wars.
That actually would awesome. But I bet is that like
fire space Fighter? What the what do you mean?
Speaker 2: Set five years after the Rise of Skywalker? Got to
hope Palpatine returns.
Speaker 1: Man Fortnite will still be going, so there will be
a platform for Palpatine to announce his return. At the
very least.
Speaker 2: It is Starfighter? Is this website wrong? Is the deadline right?
Firefighter by Mike? I'm so sorry, buddy. It is Star
Wars Starfighter. It's right, Firefighters. They had Star Wars Starfighter
starring Ryan Gosling.
Speaker 1: Nikki, you don't have to a apologized and why are
you so precious about Star Wars Starfighter?
Speaker 2: Just protect that Star Wars Starfighter doesn't even at the cannon.
Speaker 1: They could do whatever they want that that's maybe that
didn't name a new movie Shadows of the Empire.
Speaker 2: That's insane, I know.
Speaker 1: But they have definitely taken stuff from the old cannon
and re canonized it. Maybe that's what they're doing here.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's what you're doing because that was set during
the prequel era. This is set five years after Rise
of Skywalker with Ryan fucking Gosling in it. They're not
gonna have that lot.
Speaker 1: They're just mad.
Speaker 2: They're gonna definitely have a lot of desiccated corpse in
this flip.
Speaker 1: Darth va.
Speaker 2: Okay, everyone saw the this. I saw Starfighter that I
was like, looked it up on a Deadline road Firefighter.
How did they get the name?
Speaker 1: That has to be just an auto correct?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: They start, Yeah, maybe that's really funny, fucking yeah, because
the tweet they even linked to here says Starfighter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the super star Wars. Yes, all right, let me
click on this Deadline article.
Speaker 2: But I know that Starfighter wasn't your most popular game,
but I remember it. You know, terrible's going to be
for the Starfighter se O. Now for the game.
Speaker 1: Hey, Deadline just wrote Firefighter. That's weird. I'm looking at
it on their website right now.
Speaker 2: They did just right the wrong thing. Uh, well, you
think this movie actually gets made? It has a date
and everything, Jeff.
Speaker 1: I don't know. No, I don't think so. It is
a good game.
Speaker 2: Also, let's underrated Jedi Starfighters even better.
Speaker 1: But come on, five days away till and or. That's
all matters to me. I don't give it. None of
this stuff is real or will happen. Yeah, so can't
hurt me?
Speaker 2: Who Sean Levy, what has he done?
Speaker 1: Why a people excited about him. He's like the hot
director of the moment, right he did some ship? What
edgy new age crap did he do?
Speaker 2: He's the guy who did Free Okay, he did Wolverine
and Deadpool, so he's that guy.
Speaker 1: That's right. Oh yeah, okay, never mind, I'm excited. Real
Still is a modern classic. That's one of the best
movies made in the last I hope it's just ten
years old. And Free Guy, Jeff and Free Guys. Listen,
they're trying to bring me down. You know, I'm the
biggest Star Wars Starfighter the movie fan that you know.
Speaker 2: So stand back you specifically, I'm not going to be
here you place. No, I'm gonna be Disney.
Speaker 4: World, okay, on which sees heaven?
Speaker 2: Oh you do it on giant bomb dot com or
you do it on your stream. I'd better see you
playing Star Wars Starfighter on that day.
Speaker 1: I deal. I will make this happen, right, No, no,
proutod what Look.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you have to greet them as your
own grievances or air them as your own grievances, but
you have to make sure that people know.
Speaker 1: I will make it known. I will I will give
your voice a platform, even though your voice will be
busy being afraid of a roller coaster at Disney.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna retweet the six four things. This is
video game erasure a thing there and say at John Drake, Yeah,
there you go. Something I think about it.
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe people like google that name and then find
the game, and then the game becomes like more popular
because of that.
Speaker 2: Game becomes more popular.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: I think that's one that never actually even got a
h A Aspire remaster treatment somehow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know why, but it's probably like what
that was just on Xbox so.
Speaker 2: P S two and.
Speaker 1: Case I might have one. All right, he's gonna go look.
In the meantime, we're about to take a break and
go read some super chats and all that, and then
after that, we got a game where we're gonna catch
up on our Open Critic guesses from the first quarter
of the year, and we're gonna make our guesses for
the next quarter. Uh. Look, he's got both Xbox Star
Wars Starfighter Special Edition Special Edition and look, say what
you will about the prequels.
Speaker 2: The Naboos Starfighter is shit hot. Oh that's a good
looking ship.
Speaker 1: Doug Chang, who was the main production designer on the
prequel movies, absolutely killed it. He was He's the best
part of the second best part. Number one is John Williams.
Number two. Doug Chang, absolutely and.
Speaker 2: Then Jedi Starfighter. You got that Jedi Starfighter. I think
it's what's actually called. It's the ship will be one
had an episode two also a prequels was the one
that had the weird ring thing he flew into only
for hyper space. I love that.
Speaker 1: That's no God, I had that. And then he was
fighting with Django Fed who had the depth charges.
Speaker 2: Django fet with the depth chargers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's some good. These games are cool. Ben
Bert number three. Best thing about the prequels his sound
design still fucking kicked ass. Yeah yeah. He was actually
edited those movies. They're not the worst edited things in
the way. He did his best to save those movies. Tried,
he tried, tried. I'll say what I'm gonna say. All Right,
we're gonna take a break. When we come back, we're
gonna do super chats and we'll get the rest of
the show right after this. All right, we're back, Mike,
super chats, please all right, first up from Slay mc awesome.
After the success of Blueprints, what kind of games do
you want the devs to make next? Personally, I'm hoping
for a detective game called Fingerprints. Uh yeah, I mean
I'm I think I just skeedd this a few months ago,
maybe a few weeks ago, where it's like, when any
depth makes a game and it's really good, they should
just make that game again. They should not feel like
they have to go do something a whole new genre
or anything. Now to that point, I think what you're
describing here is along those lines. I think you could
take the bones of Blueprints and make a like what
is explicitly a detective game, and it could work very well.
So yeah, I think something along those lines would be fantastic.
Speaker 2: Jeff, I have an update about the Star Wars Starfighter situation.
Speaker 1: All right. It is it has the name changed it
for a second time.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: I reached out to one John Drake of the Disney
Corporation and I said, you know, do something right. John
Drake has responded and I said, what a great name.
Never heard it before. I hate to say this, but
I don't think. I don't think mister Drake cares about
video game history.
Speaker 1: Now he is part of the problem for sure. Now
you think, do you think he's fucking with you?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Drake? All right, well you know we'll have a.
Speaker 1: Chance to yell at him in about a month and
a half. Jesus Christ. So there we go.
Speaker 2: Is he a fake fan or is he a Drake fan?
Speaker 1: Okay? Oh, I like it.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be a Drake. You don't want
to be a Drake anymore? U. S Assop also says,
you see that title sounds like fingerprints and analyzing fingerprints
would be a big kick in the game. Smart move right. Hmmm,
I get it? Yeah, Oh I get it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I would uh tell you what I was like. I
thought I was cooling off, and then I had a
couple of runs today playing Blueprints where I'm just like, yeah,
this is still what I'm going to be doing.
Speaker 2: We aboo we we a boo. Fish says if you
feel a void after Blueprints, you should try Void Stranger,
Soco Bond game that goes way deeper than you think
and looks like Link's Awakening.
Speaker 1: I heard people I heard this name before, and I
did not know it was a Soca Bond Okay, interesting
my friends.
Speaker 4: Now, y'all know from the new game plus guy he loves.
Speaker 1: I've heard people be really in love with it.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: I've liked some sokba on in my time. I don't
know if I'm in the mood right now, but I
guess I should go to try. I like things that
look like links Awakening.
Speaker 2: Simon from the sketchwant says Mike. Would it be better
to give Dan another Sonic game for bike Club or
if Jeff got it, jess gimmicks would be an extra
distraction if you use knuckles. Oh, I definitely want to
give another one to Dany.
Speaker 1: Be honest.
Speaker 2: There's so many possibilities there. There's those the weird wi ones,
there's I remember at one point we're just talking about
Rise of Lyric on we You, and He's like, I
just don't think it'd be a good Blake Club game,
and I'm like, oh, I disagree. I think it'll be
great to watch Dan play freaking Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric. Yeah.
I bet at some point sooner rather than later, Dan,
we'll get back on the Sonic train for sure.
Speaker 1: I am mostly just excited about your game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys keep telling me how cool I'm gonna look,
and I don't believe you.
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's your fault for not having your friends
cool dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never been more prepared to look uncool in
my life.
Speaker 3: Oh to be fairween, say why you'll look cool? But
you look cool?
Speaker 2: You look cool, dude, it's so fucking crazy. Hell cool,
You're gonna look It's nuts how cool you're about to look?
Speaker 1: Dude?
Speaker 2: Am I gonna be dressing and penguin or something?
Speaker 3: Look at the Game Awards.
Speaker 1: You're gonna look better than that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, holy should that that?
Speaker 1: That's that's definitely the vibe right there is better than nicky.
Speaker 2: Look at gonna You're gonna look so good. Just get
the World game and I'm gonna be a fucking penguin.
Speaker 1: He thinks for being literal with the word cool, Well,
I'm just trying to.
Speaker 2: Figure it out, all right, All right? Next up, So
I have a Sketchwan, do you think EA will port
Jedi games to switch to Uh? Yes, In fact, Star
Wars celebration is happening where they are committing crimes as
we speak. But I bet they could even announce that there.
I mean they they ported those games to PlayStation four
and Xbox one well after the fact. They're super primed
to do uh, and the first game was already on
those systems. There's no reason not too. I'm surprised they
announced Outlaws first.
Speaker 1: Did you not have the same energy when they announced
the Star Wars Rogue Squadron movie.
Speaker 2: See that one. I was like, oh, maybe that's gonna
because like rogue Squadrons. Rogue squad Yeah, Rogue Squadron, Okay, yeah,
And I'm like, yeah, that's gonna be based around the
same stuff as the Starfighters is.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a Jedi star Fighter in the movies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't think like this guy's gonna be
in the Starfighter, the Naboo Starfighter.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm jumping the gun here. I just look, Hey,
if it comes out and it is respectful, it takes
inspiration from the p S two Xbox game Star Wars
Starfighter that I'll eat some crow here.
Speaker 1: I think tasteful is the word I most associate with
Starfighter for PlayStation two and Xbox Yeah.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so you know, again, these these movies almost
never get made. We'll see if that actually happens. But
you think those Jedi games are coming to switch To, right, Yeah,
I think.
Speaker 1: That stuff will just keep happening. Yeah, I think it's
they're going to expand it. I think I bet John
dreg is making deals to have stuff like even maybe
like Shadows of the Empire and Rogue Squadron appear. So yeah,
I think a bunch of more Star Wars stuff will
happen on switch to.
Speaker 2: Uh to be clear by Jedi, gave me Jedi Falling Order.
Speaker 1: Oh oh oh sorry, I just saw yeah ea, okay
for Jedi. Yes, because they ported it to Xbox one
and PS four, so yes, yeah, at least you know
in Fallen Order was already on there.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think these are Those are exactly the
things I said two minutes ago.
Speaker 1: I wasn't listening to you. I was busy thinking about
how Rogue Squadron. I was like, I'm gonna get in
with this Rogue Squadron. Shit, I'm just waiting for my
trying to speak.
Speaker 2: You're formulating that argument, yes, exactly, Okay, how about this
Starfighter versus Rogue Squadron.
Speaker 1: All right, now you're talking there and actually the millennium,
but just get making a game it's still no movie,
all right, Simon's back for one, more so since Mike's
never going to play it.
Speaker 2: How about GB Kids Monday, Misship with miss Records, Riveting Revival,
Riven best gaming alliterative title. I feel like a literative titles. Hey, look,
I want to play Missed at some point, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Ye, Boom Blocks is alliterative, alliterative. That's hard for me
to say, but yes.
Speaker 2: Ruby, it's one of the Tingle games alliterative or making
that up, not.
Speaker 1: Tingles Rosie Rupee Land, there's Rosie Rupee a little Yeah,
it counts.
Speaker 2: I think there's some big alliterative titles out there there
most what is.
Speaker 1: The is there's like a nine nine nine or what was?
Some games?
Speaker 4: No nutty games?
Speaker 1: Yeah, aren't there one? Aren't there? One of those have
an alliterative title. Maybe I don't think.
Speaker 3: That counts because it's just the same word over and over.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but bumble is a good One's gotta be a three.
Speaker 1: Word of literates, I know.
Speaker 3: Remind me what qualifies as alliteration?
Speaker 1: Word zero? You know what zenless zone zero? I bet
that's what zero counts? Yes, because I'm like, there's a
three one is a Jefpanese game. That's a good one.
That's a good one.
Speaker 3: Close enough.
Speaker 2: I believe dream drop distance, dream drop distance. There you go,
thank you, Keenum hearts again a big frushtraty Sam says,
why do they keep putting the baby characters?
Speaker 1: Mario Kart?
Speaker 2: Who is using the little bessards? They got so many
more better options. No, it's not something that I've said,
we Jeff, but I am a little I get it.
I kind of agree. I gues cares about these baby
versions of the characters. But you've got baby Park out
of it, so that was worth it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, at this point it does not feel
like we're getting them instead of someone else. It feels
like we're getting just all kinds of crazy stuff. But yeah,
I'm never like, I'm so glad baby Marios here.
Speaker 2: Oh, grug says three weeks ago, Samelo, Joe's on the
voicemail dump truck and now he's a E W Trios Champ.
Is Mike also a Trios champ via the freebird rule? Hennay,
it's a good question. We might have to get Joe
back in here so we can answer that one.
Speaker 1: Mike has been a trios Champ for a long time though.
Speaker 2: Uh, because I've been in death trying.
Speaker 1: Because you've been in death trying, exactly right.
Speaker 2: I got a message Dan. The next one here is
from that boy Jerry. I have pride twice in my life.
Once when I was seven it was hit by a bus,
and again when I heard that Peopo had passed. His
memory will live on forever. Yeah, but I popped pretty
freaking hard, Jip at the end when people saved us.
Speaker 1: Yep, people returned. I have great news for you. Pepo's back.
He lives in a computer that exploded. So actually he's
dead again, but he's in that's right, right, Yeah, the
hard driving there's going to be just fine. Uh yeah,
when people died, it was like getting hit by a
bus as a seven year old, for sure.
Speaker 2: Chuck Towsky says, I'm a recovered Destiny player. Love PvE.
It thought the PvP was always slowed. That's what that
they want to do it exclusively in this title. It
is weird, how you know. When they were making Destiny,
I think a lot of us assumed that the PvP
would be the biggest slam dunk from the Halo people.
It was always kind of controversial and it never seemed
to really catch on. There some people who liked it,
and I thought it was fun sometimes, but I didn't
spend a ton of time with it.
Speaker 4: It's almost impossible to balance that ship with a PPE
where you had like the strongest weapons in the universe
all the.
Speaker 1: Time, right, you know, Christian is like PvP? Is that
still a fair way to describe an extraction shooter? I mean,
I know there's a lot of PvP in there, so
yeah that.
Speaker 4: Pp Yeah, Tarco haves a only PV version, but not
representative of the genre. You need that PvP spice on it.
Speaker 1: All right, what's up next, Mike?
Speaker 2: Next up is from Ricky B. I watched the extended
Giant Bomb switch to hands on the other day. Is
Daisy a thought? Pen Is? How dare you? How dare
you stands for that hoe over there? Did did you
see like the key art for peach are? I think?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: But they actually marketing to Gooner's Jeff.
Speaker 4: It's time the Google squad is here.
Speaker 2: I remember it was not that long ago. We're like, oh,
they didn't put Daisy in, uh, Mario Strikers because like
they like don't want like they they didn't like how
much attention she got when she looks kind of sexy
and athletic gear, and now it's like, wow, that camera's
pointed at her ass.
Speaker 1: I think that it works a little bit backwards, where
it's like I think the gooners just end up working
at Nintendo and now they're they're inside the they're taking
over the asylum.
Speaker 4: They infiltrated the building.
Speaker 2: Yes, Hookey ages his Happy Birthday or Happy Eastern Xbox
Kelly Bishop says, look up the point and click Western
game rose Water, and I did look this up. Looks
like we have a very new point and click adventure
game with a wild West setting. It came out on
March twenty seventh, very positive reviews on Steam.
Speaker 1: Is like a Rosewater modern take or are they trying
to be like a scumbm game.
Speaker 2: It definitely looks kind of like a scum I will say,
like it's not. It looks like when you take a
pixel game and smooth it out. Like I don't it
looks okay, But I like the idea of a wild
West point click adventure game in that style. I might
have to check this out for sure. Next up is
from Matt's Suza says, got six stitches in my finger
to day after the handle of my garage door broke.
Appreciate you guys for providing an escape from the ali
I suffered. Penny, Sorry about your Matt, I hope you
feel better.
Speaker 1: That's that's a bummer, one of them.
Speaker 2: I almost saw a dog get hung to death on
one of those garage door handles. My grandmother had a
little little Yorky, little Yorky guy right, and she tied
her up to the handle on the garage door right
just to make sure she went run away. And I
was like on the other side of like the property.
It was a pretty pretty big property. But my grandma
went inside at one point and I think forgot about
that dog. So she's just like, h I gotta get
get something in the garage. So she pressed the button
open the garage door. So the garage door starts going
up right, and I kind of see what's happened. He
gets the garage or goes up and there's like less
and less flat on the leash, and this dog looks
at me, and I know, I don't I don't really
think that you know, dogs can communicate or have souls
or things like that necessarily, But at that moment, that
doll looked at me and I could just see and
feel it. Oh, so I had to go running. The
dog got about two feet off the ground, but I
got there and grabbed it and like lit it up.
So the strange just wasn't on this poor dog's neck.
It's a good thing that dog weighed nothing. It was
probably mostly fine. But yeah, very quickly, it was like
God to undo the leash on the handle there and
be like, Grandma, you almost hung your dog to death.
And she was like oh and then like went back
to getting ice cream or whatever what she was doing
in there.
Speaker 4: I think he killed that dog and dogs fine.
Speaker 2: Dog looked to be very old.
Speaker 3: Mike, What is with your grandparents' track record with dogs?
Speaker 2: God, you're right, this was This was the grandpa's wife
that was that same branch, says Chris Brown.
Speaker 1: Okay, pickled draft. It's like, yeah, it's all laid out
for you. He's driving through Windy's drive through and it
just you had the crickets. You got it.
Speaker 2: My dog's name was Jasmine.
Speaker 1: Because you know, emphasis on was.
Speaker 2: Next up here is from oh yeah, assuming mex I
want to give a shout out to this year's Lonely
Mountain snow Riders for getting me into an amazing flow
state riding along beautiful snow mountains.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So that's a pretty good game. I wish I
would have spent more time with it. And I say that,
I'm like, I could just do that. So maybe I'll
pop that back out and play some more. Pup.
Speaker 2: We hear from Karma about Judas versus Jeff any word
on Judas, then says I love BioShock. When I heard
about Judas, I became vexed about the game. It was
supposed to release in March but never did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't heard anything about it. It's not something
I'm like necessarily track in either, So I don't know. Uh,
Judas is the Bioshachman's game, right, that's.
Speaker 2: Game, right, BioShock like with the lego narrative puzzle pieces.
Speaker 1: Right right, Yeah, it's that stuff actually still in the game.
I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, last time we talked about it, he was
talking about what saying, okay, cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. People always talk about like, hey,
that could show up at this next event, and then
it never does except for that one time it did,
we'll see feels like the kind of game that needed
some more time. And now maybe it's afraid of Grand
Theft Auto six like everything else.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean there are stories how like Ken Levine
basically had to get pushed to finally finish BioShock Infinite right, yeah,
in this one, this time, he doesn't have that oversight.
I want to be shocked that we don't see this
game still for a very very long time, if ever again,
who knows that's up? Is mister what was up?
Speaker 3: Sorry?
Speaker 4: Can you check the message I posted stuff? That's the
AI thing says on the Chad.
Speaker 2: Viewers are reacting to the streamer's story about his grandfather
and his dog, with some finding it funny and others
finding it disturbing.
Speaker 1: That's for the clip. That's like the preview thing like
you put at the beginning, that's actually at the end. Okay,
I got it.
Speaker 2: Thanks, Yeah, yeah, yeah. People are split. People have split
opinions about whether it was always shit. I lost track
of the super tetsu to crash. You won't be shocked.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you finished Karma Go ninety one, so you're on
mister miracles miracles, says PlayStation Showcase in May June, surely
stuffed to show. Yeah, I've not been updated on this
since the last time I talked about it. Last time
I talked about it, I said that I was told
they'll have something for this summer, but whether it's a
state of play or a showcase, it was still being
decided at that time. This was weeks ago. Now I'm
betting they've decided by now, But again I've not heard
anything new. But yeah, that does mean that they can
have stuff to show. I think probably deciding between a
showcase or a state of play comes down to whether
or not they can get those assets ready in time
from those games that are ready to show.
Speaker 2: Gar Walk says, how different would the Oblivion remake it
if it were to land in a world where a
Vow didn't exist and was still so fresh?
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if it would, Like I
don't think it hurts it that a Vowed was out
fresh and it's very good. They are very different games still,
Like obviously they're the same genre, but the way that
they expressed that genre is very different. Where it's like
Oblivion does focus on letting you poke at the world
and get reactions from the world and there's a crime
you know, and punishment system and things like that, and
Avowed is like, I know, go find the gear, go
level up, go do the quests, like go do some combat.
All feels really good, and so there's clearly a room
for both, and I think Oblivion will be a very
will feel very different to even people just coming off
of Avowed.
Speaker 2: Oblivion's much more of an RPG. Avows, much more of
an action RPG.
Speaker 1: Really.
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, pretty dude, says guys. Metathon was right there
for the title, shaking my head, Oh, Marathon may question
mark question mark, yep, apologies, you're right, we need we
need a CEO though, Yeah, you.
Speaker 1: Quit Metathon in the thumbnail, right, Oh you're right.
Speaker 2: Well does that's Mike Foldon no more think about it,
especially just reading it. I don't know if that pun
would play. Oh yeah, I think I did the right thing,
all right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, we never should a question to you.
Speaker 3: You always know hunters that conclusion. It's kind of weird,
but yeah, we all like to throw around the word hero.
Speaker 2: But yeah, when the hunter says replaying Oblivion, I hope
the remaster is just that's funny. I just killed a
goblin and it doubled over and twisted violently, and Goblin
its own pebis like a plate of spaghetti, Jeff.
Speaker 1: Like a plate of spaghetti. That's right, Goblin's how Goblins
would do it. The oblivion is a good like emergent game,
where it's like things can just happen. So, yeah, I
hope it maintains that for sure. That's part of the magic.
Speaker 2: M Chris Pratt says MEA moto Son showed me that
picture of Latex Pauline, and all I have to say
is much from Kingdom here we come.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Chris Son.
Speaker 2: Jesus like I play a spaghetti or something. Uh, Birds
says now I say it out loud. It sounds like
that one memory of the gin you for us Australian red.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's the name of what's the name of the
squat little one?
Speaker 2: Wait a second, excuse me, Jase is the red Australian one?
Birder was a different one, the squat one?
Speaker 4: Who is that?
Speaker 2: Who's Burder?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, you know.
Speaker 2: There's Burder's.
Speaker 3: There?
Speaker 2: Names of cheese?
Speaker 4: Is you means milk?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Okay, Jace, Uh, there's gold, there's goldough? Uh? Who's the
big ugly guy, the big stupid looking one. There's always
one of those, right. Gordo is the fat short one. Okay,
Bird is the blue one. Rikom, that's it, Kom Burder
gold O Man. Gordo is the one. I don't really remember.
Jace and then Jase was the last second and last
one to die after Captain gin you fraud.
Speaker 1: Gold is the one I think about all the time.
I played like dragon ball Z Boudakai or whatever it was.
I think no I was.
Speaker 4: I was a Jase guy. Yeah, ground boll fighters. He
was pretty cold, entire team anyways.
Speaker 2: Burder says, can't on here tooting bass clarinet playing silent
I excuse me and blueprints, part of one of the
common ambient songs of Blue Penne. Yeah. I do love
when the music like does kick in a little bit.
It's very moody, it's very kind of eerie but beautiful,
such good stuff.
Speaker 1: Like certain things set it off, like if you get
the music room that plays a certain tune, if you
go down, you get different music. If you get to
like later in the world or late the higher ranks,
eventually it plays a song and it's all different and eerie,
and then you know, if you do something that is culminating,
it really plays music, it's like, oh my god, they're
like I'm hearing different horns I haven't heard before. It's
really well done.
Speaker 4: You say, I see, I see people in Blue Sky
is saying that they got jump scaring that game. Did
they have that kind of stuff?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: No, They're like it's just very moody. And some people
are like, oh, the lights turned off and that's getting
them that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: Dubious Food says, is Boshi and Mario Kart or did
we mass hallucinate? I mean, it's a blue Yoshi that
I had the sunglasses on and like it. It's I
think it's clearly a big nod to Boshie, but it's
not like, so let your character boche, right, they gets
a costume Prettyoshi exactly.
Speaker 1: I think I think that's right, which is.
Speaker 2: Neat and I applaud that. I think it'd be even
coore if it was like, hey, Boh's here and like
maybe that's part of my thing, Jeff, where it's like, oh,
play as a goomba or play as a dolphins, like
give me Geno and mallow, right, Like, yeah, I agree,
that would give me Vivian.
Speaker 1: But I posted a picture of Boshie. I mean it's
wearing sunglasses and everything looks like I might even have
a spike collar. So it's very Bochey.
Speaker 2: It's very boshy. I think Boschi had like a bit
more of a distinctive like spikey thing on her back
that's the same color. So I think it's a very
deliberate they know what's costume, right.
Speaker 1: That, Like they had the thing like Jason Finelli wrote
on game Spot about like they drove they drove the
penguin off of a cliff right, like they're making a
lot of references in this direct today. Good.
Speaker 2: I'm super excited. Uh try Wolf says, guys, please tell
me there's a chance my beloved Toys or Bob show
up the Xbox Show. Please, guys, I need my Spiro
or Crash or Banjo Gosh. I think there's a chance,
and I think Spiro's the most likely of those right now. Honestly,
what are you thinking, Jeff.
Speaker 1: Yes, Spiro's kind of where I lean as well, and
that's I think that's based on the rumors. But even
beyond that, it's like that feels right.
Speaker 2: Willow David says, I bought thirteen different apples and ranked
them on a tier list. Guess which apple won first place? Hint.
One of the winner's parents is Honey Crisp.
Speaker 3: This is the worst super chat.
Speaker 1: We've ever got. I agree, because Honey Crisp actually is
the best apple, even though the ones that have been
hybridized from Honey Crisp pale in comparison to the original.
Are you talking about Cosmic Crisp? Is that what you're
going for, Willow Davis. Cosmic cris is very good, but
it's not as good as Honey Crisps. I think that
you need to recognize that and come back and apologize
to me. You have brands for apples, Yeah, and we
have brands for apples because the patent system in America
is broken. For corporations create new life, it only lasts
for twenty years, and by the time you get done
growing an apple tree, well, you can't reap the rewards
of all the hard work you did to patent a
thing that is alive.
Speaker 3: This man loves Mike's apple phobia just because he gets
to tell that story every single time.
Speaker 1: I'd love it so much. It's one of my favorite factors.
Speaker 2: Edgar Marino says, I want someone to play The Grudge
on Wii on Giant Bomb dressed up and all grudge
on wee. I don't know too much about that one, Jeff.
Speaker 4: Is that about the Is that related to the movie
The Grudge? Because this movie I think so the Ring
and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think called jew On.
Speaker 2: The Grudge is the full name of this game. It's
a horror game. Looks very spooky. It got a it's
a Metacritic about thirty nine, so definitely bad enough. It
looks very dark. Oh god, just another flashlight game. You
can't give me in another flashlight game for the we
damn it, says who.
Speaker 1: The Ring girl?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Connor Wood says the gooning is coming from inside the building.
And then okay, fins Is, Mike, are you a digging
through the ditches? B burning through the witches? Jeff, I
already know you are the third option.
Speaker 1: Sam and the Beckham Dragula.
Speaker 2: And that's it for the Supertest for now, everybody. If
you still want to send in a super chat, we
will read it before the end of the show. We
appreciate all of that support so much, except for that
horrible one. About the apples. Don't you ever do that again?
Thank you, Jeff, back to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, cool, Let's let's take another break and
we'll come right back very quickly with our open critic
results and our open critic guessing game for the second quarter,
which is already well under its way. Right back after this,
all right, we're back. We get the super chats, so
that means we're getting on with our game for this week,
which is our game for the quarter. It is the
Massive a Guest Q one Results slash Q two Predictions.
That's where I stopped talking about it because I handed
off to Sean. Sean, what's happening here, Mike?
Speaker 3: You think dogs don't have souls? Look, I don't know
if I think people have souls. Ogain the fair? All right,
that's right. It is time once again to play this
game that friend of ours from the community, the untar Wolf,
puts together. This is a mess of a guess. It's
where I can scroll down to our rules game mess
both the boys in here and then in the community.
I'll address that later. Everyone's given a list of eleven
different games coming out in the first quarter or twenty
twenty five, and the job is to predict their is
there open critics scores for each game scores a turn
by its top critic average on open critic whoever gets
the closest to the final score gets one point. If
you get exactly right, you get two points. And if
you didn't think a game would come out by the
end of the first quarter, you'd say we'll not release
and get double the points. So let's get into the
results here. Game number one was Kingdom Come Deliverance to
Mike went first here, Mike said eighty five and Jeff
said eighty four. Mike was right because it actually gotten
eighty nine. Did pretty well there, So nicely done, mikey,
and shout out to doctor Lynch in the community for
getting it by correctly predicting Anie none.
Speaker 1: Nice. Yeah, I might want to try again.
Speaker 2: I need to try it at all still now they
have a new computer, finally set up something I didn't
meaning to do, all right.
Speaker 3: Game number two was Civilization seven, Jeff going first. There
we go back and forth. Jeff went with an eighty six,
Mike won with eighty seven MLT lower presumably because of
all the issues that game had. Still an eighty, though,
is what came in at so Jeff gets the point there,
and in the community doctor Lynch aga with eighty three.
Speaker 1: All done. Yeah, that's one where I think I remember
feeling relieved that Mike went above me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this game is really good, So I
guess I get people's complaints, but the way they act,
you think this game was a disaster, and I still
think it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I should have.
Speaker 3: Game number three avowed, Mike went with eighty two. Jeff
won with eighty three, a little optimistic there, and came
in just a little bit lower at an eighty. So
Mike gets the point and Tariokey blues Zuel and Steve
Ah got exactly right in the community with eighty ohok, Jeff, you.
Speaker 2: Should have won this one, I think, right, But I
think in eighty three might be a better score for
this game than in eighty. But the them's the breaks, yep,
that's how goes sometimes.
Speaker 3: Look in the score breakdown, you know, a couples like
sevens and six is somewhere in that neighborhood. So yeah. Also,
some of the way the scores are calculating, you know,
like a three off five equating to a sex and stuff.
Speaker 1: You're blaming game spot, I see what's happening here.
Speaker 3: Oh well, you know Game number four, like a dragon
pirate Yakaza in Hawaii. Jeff went with eighty Mike went
with eighty two. You both win because it's eighty one.
Speaker 2: Pokemoners happen before I think must It's definitely happened.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like, ironically, it's like almost any time that
you guys like leave a gap.
Speaker 2: Sure are a lot of like eighty and eighty one's
happening this month or this quarter.
Speaker 1: I mean yeah.
Speaker 3: Also shouts to Zuela Villa Macdown President low Rule for
also or directly predicting eighty one.
Speaker 1: People always yell at us like you're always do eighties. Well,
it looks like we were onto something.
Speaker 2: We did specifically get caught off for that this time
all lollly chit.
Speaker 3: Game number five, Monster Hunter Wild Mike, when first he
said ninety deaf, went a little lower with eighty nine,
and it paid off because he got exactly right. It
did come in at eighty nine. Nicely done yet and
nicely done to a bunch of people in the community. Sorry,
I'm not gonna name everyone on some of these, but
a bunch of people said eighty nine and got those
double points there.
Speaker 1: That felt like a coin flip, right, That one's like, oh,
I really could have one of those numbers.
Speaker 2: I think you were right, especially I think the game
is more of an eighty nine than ninety. Me thinks
at eighty nine might be a little g I don't
think it's a bad game at all. I think it's
a good game.
Speaker 1: But right, I mean it's the kind of game that
reviews well, that's what kind of game that is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I maintain it's a very good video game. It's
just not necessarily what I want Monster Hunter. IM a
lot of people as well.
Speaker 1: Like really like struggling eighty nine or ninety one. I'm
glad I went with eighty nine. I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm upset you did that.
Speaker 3: Game Number six two point Museum just went first was
seventy nine. Mike went with eighty I think paid off.
Mike really likes that game. A lot of people are.
Other people did too eighty five on Open Critics. So
nicely done there, Mikey and shouts to Breadfish for nailing
it with eighty five in the community.
Speaker 1: This is one that, like I should we had like
a research, right, I should have researched because the two
point games always reviewed better than I realized. So, yeah,
really blew it there. Yeah, it was this.
Speaker 3: I think Mike might have done the research actually, likest
ones or something. I forget exactly Jeff.
Speaker 2: After Jeff went maybe, so I.
Speaker 3: Was right, I went on he used his already something
like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a very good deal and it deserves that
eighty five for sure, it's fantastic.
Speaker 3: Game number seven split fiction, Mike said ninety. Jeff took
the under again with eighty nine. This time it pays
off for mikey because he nailed it. It was exactly
ninety and once again, a whole bunch of other people
in community said ninety two. So shouts to y'all on
the video virgion. You can see your name.
Speaker 2: Oh man, that that feels good. This is a this
is a close once a far Jeff, I have six
points two of four. It's intense.
Speaker 1: It's gone back and forth too, So let's let's see.
Speaker 3: All right. Game number eight, Assassin's Creed Shadows. Jeff went
with eighty five, Mike went with eighty four. Game in
a little bit lower at eighty one, and Mike gets
the point there as do once again, a bunch of
people in the community.
Speaker 2: Look, definitely should have guess closer to eighty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's one where it's like, man, had I
picked for a second, I'm like, I definitely would have
just picked lower than whatever you did. So it's like, God,
that's frustrating.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think this one feels right because
that is such like an eight out of ten game
where yeah, let's not do anything like super special, but
it's it really solids what d out of ten?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I liked it two point museum, but yeah.
Speaker 3: Of course, what is you know, Zeno Blade Chronicles ex.
Mike said eighty four, Jeff said eighty three. It was
even higher than that, probably because a little be selection
biased eighty seven and Sands name of the community also
said eighty seven, So congress to them. Corogressive Mike for
the point.
Speaker 2: There, these games always get reviewed maybe a little generously,
I would say, it's how it always kind of comes
off to be so wow, okay, yeah, that's really high.
Speaker 3: Yeah, game number ten, Adam fall, I believe this is
a game where you guys were like, what the hell
is this.
Speaker 4: Shit?
Speaker 1: Ever since then? Yeah, it also did we even know.
I think we you barely knew what Adam Fall was
when you pick this number. Neither of you knew what
this game was. As I recall, Jeff said it would
be eighty. Mike was like, whatever seventy five I guess
I got exactly right? Was seventy five? That is also
seventy five is the most like, I don't know what
this game is. It's probably a seventy five. Like before
we knew what Blue Prince was. I think we both
did in like seventy five.
Speaker 2: I don't know right exactly.
Speaker 3: Well, that was it for the quarter. I think I
think we all have another one. Actress Wolf points out
I should point out that Mike had no idea what
Adam Fall was before predicting the score perfectly. Yes, okay,
we do have more, We do have more. Okay, okay,
Game number eleven. I wish we didn't er because on
Ben Starr's own Jeff almost seventy six, not very optimistic,
and I was Mike has seventy seven. But the reviews
came in prey solidly yea and eighty one.
Speaker 1: Why do we go away from the eighty?
Speaker 3: More for going over? Why didn't you away from eighties. Dude.
Speaker 2: You know what I love is that for the insistence
of Jeff is that it's not a cumulative score for
the whole year too, So it's not just one point
I get for winning this quarter.
Speaker 4: I call that.
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like me.
Speaker 2: Insistent on that.
Speaker 1: Anything could happen.
Speaker 3: Special shouts. Chucktowski and Shojikodo both nailed it at eighty one,
so good job there. That was it quarter. And the
winner is of course nobody, because we're not doing that anymore.
It's cumulative, like Mike just mentioned.
Speaker 1: Well, you know he won the quarter, right, so but
it's like, you know, the numbers keep going o.
Speaker 3: Nobody won the quarter. You know, we just don't keep
tragging at in any way shape or for what.
Speaker 2: Where's the score at right now? Between me and Jeffican
was at eleven?
Speaker 3: Who can say.
Speaker 2: Eleven to four? Oh wow?
Speaker 3: Uh? And as I always do, I will slowly scroll
through the community results if you like to see where.
Speaker 2: The community even did as well as me.
Speaker 1: Each ship community now they only get points if they
get it exactly right, oh.
Speaker 3: If it's closer than anybody else, if it's closer than
the rest of the community, or they get exactly right. Yeah, yeah,
but in the end, shouts Zuel thirty four, who let
me scroll up here? I believe is eight points total. Yeah,
eight points, which is hard to do when you can
be against the rest of the community.
Speaker 1: Better than me. So yeah, it's a big number. What's
that feel like?
Speaker 3: All right, onto the predictions for a quarter two. So
you guys are predicting this, this is my time. You're
a Q two guy. We always say this about you.
You need to predict the open crick score for each
of these games. A deadline for the community to get
their predictions in. I'll open up a thread where you
all can put your predictions. Uh, like they said top
of the show. Hey, if you want game to the community,
obviously join the Patreon going membership here on YouTube or
sub Danny of the Twitch channels deaf micro Christian that
I'll get you in there and you can play the
game with us all and as long as you can
before the deadline here, which is when the first game
gets reviews, you can play along with us and see
how you do. Since there's no quarterly winners anymore, you know,
for no reason in particular, Jeff gets to go first
and then we'll sneak from there. The Jeff Grub research clause,
of course, dictates that you can choose to do research
for one game of your choosing. So whatever you would
choose to do research for, you got to call it
out ahead of time, and you can go do some
googling or whatever you would fucking Gemini or whatever pulls up.
If you don't think a game releases in the quarter,
you can say we'll not release and get double points. Boys.
Are you ready?
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do it all right.
Speaker 3: Game number one, Claire Obscure Expedition thirty three. I guess
we'll be Jeff first.
Speaker 1: I go first.
Speaker 3: I'm sure I didn't read that wrong. Yes, ephips first.
Speaker 1: This is gonna I think it's gonna do well, but
it's like it's really tough to think, like can it
do that well? So I'm gonna go with a pretty
high score. I'm gonna go with an eighty eight.
Speaker 2: Okay, mikey, I would have liked to have picked eighty eight. Honestly,
that feels pretty good. It's that feels good because it's
like US is gonna review better than Metaphory Fantasio and
I think that was like in eighty nine. Maybe in
ninety I can't I don't remember. Oh boy, it's like
I feel like eighty seven. But I feel good about
this game. I think there's some people who've been winning
a game like this for so long. I think that
as we see the the JRPG freaks are gonna play
this game too. I think they're gonna be really excited
about They're the ones who are gonna be revealing it.
I'll go eighty nine.
Speaker 1: Screw it, all right. I wish you would have gone lower. Personally,
that's that's I would like. I'd feel good right now
if you had gone lower.
Speaker 3: So damn RPGs have been a bit of a terror.
Mike might be on something.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah for sure.
Speaker 3: All right, next game, Fatal Fury, City of the Wolves. Mikey,
you're more into with fighting games, maybe you'll know where
to start us off here.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Interesting, because I think the kick game is mechanically
going to be very sound. I wonder how good the
online suff's going to be. I don't think it's gonna
be like a Street Fighter six. It was being received
very well by reviewers. I think that there is some
of the stuff with these guest characters that's leaving a
bad taste in people's mouths. I will do the chat
special and say in eighty for Fatal Fury, City of the.
Speaker 3: World, Everyone's favorite.
Speaker 2: All right, everybody's favorite. Uh, Jeff, why did you go
and grab there? Definitely out there.
Speaker 1: I just grabbed my Fatal Fury bag here. Let me
just get it out real quick.
Speaker 2: What the heck is? Oh my god, you're getting sauty swag,
getting sauty swag? Thanks?
Speaker 1: I mean Jan Bargo here? I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's usually why they send her so that people
show it off. Yeah, I think I was gonna say.
Speaker 1: That about it, but all was in here. Let's see here.
There's a gun. Oh no, that's not a gun, a
soccer ball.
Speaker 2: Just scroll?
Speaker 1: What is this?
Speaker 2: Probably scroll mouse?
Speaker 1: Look at that. That's neat. There you go the characters.
Speaker 4: Are you invited to the kin Fighter?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm gonna toss this. Hey, stop
sending us bags, you all send us backs. I have
too many bags? All right. Let's see here, So Mike, Mike,
what you do?
Speaker 2: Hady?
Speaker 1: That's tough ship. I do feel like I probably have
to go lower. I think it's gonna I think it
skims go a little bit of an uphill battle. I think, Yeah,
I'm gonna go seventy nine, get the bag A.
Speaker 3: Game number three Metal Eden Jeff.
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know?
Speaker 1: Seventy five?
Speaker 3: Final answer? I know?
Speaker 1: Hang on, all right, let me think what the fuck's
a metal eating.
Speaker 3: Do?
Speaker 1: I want to researgles right there?
Speaker 3: Google's right there, I know.
Speaker 1: Let me think. I don't find I'm trying to think, like,
what else is even coming out in this month that, like,
you know what, I know nothing about this. I might
I'm going first though, that's the problem. If I research you,
they think Mike gets it. I'm just you know what,
seventy five?
Speaker 3: That's my final answer, all right, Mike seventy oh, like
is saying no no confidence here? All right?
Speaker 1: Can I google it now that we've locked our things
in so I can find out what the hardest thing
is it?
Speaker 3: A marijuana? Not?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't eat.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty I'm pretty topic in the shooters and stuff.
I don't know what this is.
Speaker 2: I assume it's like a Korean made FPS shooter thing.
I know the name.
Speaker 3: I cannot like put any screen video to it.
Speaker 4: And it's doom eternally ish.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like he just has it also just
has a release date of Q three still, so we
don't know.
Speaker 3: Man may won't come out all right. Well, speaking of Doom,
Doom the Dark Ages is game number four, Mike going first,
our Doom expert, having just done a discussion for the
Games Game Club.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I probably would like to know what score
Doom Eternal got. I know it's probably in the high
eighties though, so I don't really know if I need
to look it up. Jeff Chat's saying that that Metal
Eating game got delayed this morning basically both gave it
us if we had paid attention. I think that Doom
the Dark Ages will do very well. Gosh how it
could do very well as the thing.
Speaker 1: I just don't know. I want.
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be at least Maley devices, because
I think some people are going to maybe resent it
not being as much like Doom Maternal, and other people
are gonna be really happy it's not as much like
Doom Maternal. So I'm gonna say in eighty eight.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's that's good. That definitely is like where you
would put the over under, right, So what do I
want to do? Do I want to go over or under.
It's very hard to get.
Speaker 2: Those maternals, or it wasn't not as I'm curious.
Speaker 1: It's very hard to go over, like every point over.
Eighty eight is so much harder than the last. But
I think this one's gonna hit. I think that, you know,
June twenty sixteen was so good and then Eternal had
the smell backlash, and I think they're gonna like learn
from that and come back with something even better. I'm
gonna go with an eighty nine.
Speaker 2: Yes, I guess what the Maternal is. Open critic was,
huh eighty nine? Oh shit, Okay, man, that's creepy on
I not have guessed.
Speaker 3: Look y'all, I hope he does even better the next
I have that fantasy Cris sure you could.
Speaker 2: Let's go well, I mean again with Maternal and again.
When you hear people talk about doing today, you do
hear a backlash. That game got an eighty nine, So
I almost don't feel good about eighty eight anymore.
Speaker 3: Honestly, all right, game number five, Jeff is going first
on road crass picture sounds like a Jeff rub game.
Speaker 1: It's tough. I honestly don't care how these games review,
so I don't even know how they've reviewed in the past.
I'm gonna say big problem is big problem is that
these games get a lot of support long term, and
so the game that they become that people remember it
as is not always the game that is the one
that has been reviewed. So I'm gonna go with an
eighty two.
Speaker 2: Okay, I think that Jeff has bad taste in his
games are stupid, So I'm gonna saying eighty one.
Speaker 1: That's fair. That's eighty one, that's definitely fair. It's Roadcraft,
who gives a shit?
Speaker 3: Okay? Not both of you have locked in. I think
I can say that's the way you guys know when
to use the research clause. There are twelve games or
I don't know if I mentioned at the top.
Speaker 1: That's good to know total, or there's twelve games left total?
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, Game number six might going first on elden
Ring Night Rain.
Speaker 2: Yeah huh. That's interesting because I do think this is
gonna throw some people for a bit of a loop.
I think some people aren't going to like what this
game is, which is a weird co op Fortnite elden
Ring thing. I think some people are gonna be into
it a lot. I think a lot of people are
gonna say, this baby doesn't have a lot of legs,
so it's gonna do well, but it's not gonna do
from software. Well, I think an eighty one is maybe
fine for Night Rain.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm very I'm taking eighty two on that. I
think anything, I think, I think it's probably gonna like
not do as well as a from Soft game and
be like eighty five. So but I'm gonna go probably
right freaking from.
Speaker 3: All right, game number seven lost stole aside, Jeff going first.
Speaker 1: All right, going to the Google.
Speaker 3: So I'm glad you're doing you sack of shit. Okay,
you know, I'll let's see, I'll go off after you.
Speaker 1: After you do you absolutely yeah, oh weird. Okay, huh,
let me see what else save?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 2: What else did the studio do?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a very interesting question.
Speaker 3: Nothing, let's see.
Speaker 1: Take a look. Okay, all right, hang on.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, you're in research mode. I'll give this to
you as a research This is the game that I
was like, I'm looking forward to it got a now
slight twenties.
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it. I don't get though,
I mean, look, all right, hang on, let me just
do something real quick and it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna do one more, one lesson. Whatever he's
looking at.
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: Sorry, look up one thing real quick as the way
you're making a spreadsheet over there.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to like find a comparison point real quick.
I got one. I seed to look up at score.
Speaker 3: Ah interesting, Okay, let's see. So I think Wolf is right,
Wolf saying in cheat, you guys forget games ten minutes
after you see him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I forget games. Well, I'm looking at them all.
Speaker 2: A lot of them are forgettable.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with eighty two.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll go with an eighty one again.
Speaker 3: Hey guys, Yeah, you've done eighty two and eighty one
three games in a row here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, so many eighties and eighty one and one.
I regret not doing it more.
Speaker 3: Sean, No, I think that sounds right for this I
thing some people are going to really love, and I
think it'll average exactly. I think it's gonna be a
stlar Blade type of situation. It's something that stillar Blade had. Yeah,
it'll help with the viewers have to be like I
don't like the blood swear. Look look, I some people
have played this, and some people say, hmmm, you know,
the combat though, is really really good.
Speaker 1: So PlayStation's publishing it, so I bet it's good. That's true.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the game one dude made. It playsas
like one dude made this and they picked it up
and I got transformed into this finally coming out in
like a month. Anyways, Game number eight Delta Rune Chapters
three and four.
Speaker 2: Mike, how are theyse getting reviewed?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Interesting, I guess that's kind of one thing.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 2: I mean episodic, right, yeah, but like episode three and
four again are coming out at the same time. Sure,
it's all weird, and there's like still a five and six.
Oh god, this is weird.
Speaker 1: Pardon me, like.
Speaker 2: Wants to look up what Adult Room chapter two did,
for instance. I know people like him, they don't like
him as much as Undertail, So.
Speaker 3: Al, I just saying that one and two got reviewed together,
so we're assuming that three and four get reviewed together.
Speaker 2: That's that's fine.
Speaker 1: People do like these.
Speaker 2: I'll say, in eighty seems high, but eighty six eighty six.
Speaker 1: Oh shit, Okay, I was hoping you go lower because
it'd be very easy to go high if you will
link to eighty one or eighty two. Again, eighty six
is rough. I think I have to go eighty five.
Speaker 3: Eighty five, gotcha.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you went lower, honestly, because I don't know.
You know, people are freezing, and I know I know.
Speaker 3: For sure, Guys, I love the curve ball here all
three With the next one, yeah, I need you tell
me what you think. Nintendo Switch too, Welcome to her.
We'll get that's a goad ass game.
Speaker 1: Ah God. Here's the thing is, like, this could secretly
be like a really like there's a ton of secrets
and so much cool shit in there, and it could
really bite me in the ass. But uh, judging a
book by its cover, which is what we do here
on this game, I have to say seventy eight.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: I think that people are going to actually think about
the price of this one too, and there's gonna be
like some indignation about that. It's gonna actually be reflected
in the scores. I think seventy five. I'll play seventy five.
Speaker 3: Okay. I was gonna say that's the easiest seventy seven ever,
I thought, But I ain't sign five, Gosh Ketchu.
Speaker 2: I'll go even lower.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, maybe you'll get exactly right. Who knows game
number ten on the our hands, Mario kartt World with
Mike going first.
Speaker 2: Ooof it's gonna be high. It's gonna probably be in
the nineties. It's like, I could see this game getting
so many tens honestly that it could be really high
in the nineties. Even so, it's like wild to be
considering things like ninety seven. But people like Mario Karte
a lot. I think that this game looks like a
ton of fun. I think it's going to be surprising.
Speaker 3: This game in Fantasy I was just gonna bring up
can you believe that Nicky got this going fourth and
Fantasy Creek We are idiots, Mike website really quick.
Speaker 2: I'm so mad I should have picked Mario.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a game that even coming out this year, at
least I picked Boom.
Speaker 2: Was so well Fantasy so well.
Speaker 3: Anyway, congratuation.
Speaker 2: Does Artemy does win almost get what Maryo Cardiac Deluxe
got like? Because it does the review? Do the reviews
reflect it? I think it does. I bet that game
reviewed well, and I think this is going to review
even better.
Speaker 3: There are only two games after this, just as a reminder,
and you still have to your research. Okay, that's shot.
Speaker 1: Ninety four. Yeah, I think this one could easily end
up being like a ninety one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's being safe. I maybe went too high, but
I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just think it's got I don't think you went
insanely high, like had you go in ninety six ninety seven,
that would have been really easy. Yeah, this could also
very easily be in ninety five, but I think it's
I think the thing you said about the price, some
people will want to put that into the reviews. Eighty dollars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, I should thought about that, all right.
Speaker 3: Game number eleven, Mind's Eye.
Speaker 1: Jeff, Yeah, yeah, just give me that. Give me that eighty.
I mean that's solid. Round eighty.
Speaker 2: Did you know what this game is?
Speaker 1: I do know what this game is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am going to google Mind's.
Speaker 1: Eye build a rocket Boy. Former rock Star employee Leslie
Benzeze has got his own team the making game for
a long time open starring Jo So well, not.
Speaker 2: Really, Okay, if you get it eighty you went with
eighty's you could so easily see this be a mess.
Speaker 1: I know, I do. I think it could easily be
a mess, but like.
Speaker 2: Maybe I need to be slightly more optimistic and say
eighty one.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't have great faith in that, but I honestly
have no idea it could go either way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, last one here, Mike goes first on desk
stranding two on the beach.
Speaker 2: Oh shit, I wish I saved it. Now, I'm like,
what did death stranding do? I think it did, like
it did pretty well, maybe like a six or save
a seven of my guests destrending one gosh. Other I'm
tired of Kojima's bullshit a bit, and other people just aren't.
That's the thing I got to keep in mind here.
They just aren't tired of it in the way I am.
Some of them will be, but not enough for this
game to get in. Eighty seven. Eighty seven.
Speaker 1: M that's a good that's a good guess. I'm I'm
gonna go eighty eight. I think that you know, SEQL
building on it chance to do a lot of new
stuff while building on all the old stuff. You know,
they've been working this engine for a while. Now I'm
gonna go eighty eight. I think this game is gonna
be very good.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, that brings us to the end of the
prediction segment. Let me pull my little spreadsheet up here
so everyone can see what the boys uh predicted for
each game, and I'll read it off for the audio listeners.
So going down the line, Claire Obscure Expedition thirty three,
Jeff said eighty eight, Mike said eighty nine, Atal Fury,
City of the Wolves, Jeff seventy nine, Mike eighty Metal
Eden Jeff seventy five, Mike seventy Doom the Dark Ages
Jeff said eighty nine, Mike said eighty eight. We have
a theme here, Roadcraft, Elden Ring, Night Ring, and lossul
Aside all had Jeff saying eighty two and Mike saying
eighty one. Delta Rune, Chadars three and four Jeff one
with eighty five, Mike one with eighty six. Nintendo switched
to Welcome Tour, God Stupid. This is a good okay,
Jeff one with seventy eight, Mike one with seventy five.
Mario Kart World Jeff went with ninety four, Mike ninety five.
Mine's Eye Jeff one with eighty Mike one with eighty
one and last Death Stranding two on the Beast. Jeff
one with eighty eight, Mike won with eighty seven. Mike
Wolf says, hope you guys have have fun and just
accept that this stranding is good gaming nerds. Look. Jeff
like said, I do like it.
Speaker 2: I just said the sequel is going to get an
eighty seven.
Speaker 1: Hey, come on, Mike, how I remember when we went
over the scores last time and I was looking at
my mim like I I didn't feel great at the time.
I remember feeling that way. I feel better this time
looking at those scores. How are you feeling?
Speaker 2: I don't feel great. Actually, there's some things, yeah, I
mean not terrible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not, but I get it.
Speaker 2: There are multiple ones here why I wish I had
your score instead. I think I wish I had your
Mario Kart World score. I think I wish I had
your Outer in Ring Night Rain score. So there's there's
a few of those. We'll see how it all shakes out.
There's a lot of stuff here. I'm just not really
sure about. It could go either way. You know, we're
a lot of these. We are off by like one
or two from each other. So we'll see it just
a pen.
Speaker 1: All right? Shown anything else from this so anything else
we got to have mentioned or should we move on?
Speaker 3: Nope, yep. Just a reminder that once again, if you
would like to play along with the community, I will
be putting up a thread sometime after the show tonight
and then and as long as you get your guess
is in before the first review drops for any of
these games, can play along once again. Patreon dot com,
slash game mess member here on YouTube or sub to
Jeff Grubb, Tolkoto or Christian Underscore A R A RG.
We'll get you in there and you play along with
everybody and also hang out because we have a fun
discord community. Exactly, all right, fantastic, Thanks so Wolf for
playing this together.
Speaker 1: Thank you, we really appreciate it. Yeah, thank you, and
thank you Sean for hosting. I appreciate that as well. Yeah,
and thank you Mike for going easy on me this quarter.
Speaker 2: Hopefully, maybe maybe we might be able to regain some.
Speaker 1: Keep it interesting. I hope it's good. I mean, honestly,
it's still a lot of times just gonna be a
coin flip. I really like I feel more confident. I
think that just means like it's gonna be closer to
fifty to fifty. It's kind of how I'm feeling there.
All right, excellent, let's take one more break. We'll come back,
talk about what we've been playing, we'll wrap up some
super chats, and then we'll get out of here. We're back,
Mike Minatti. Have you been playing anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I did finish Tales of Grace's f remastered on Switch.
It was okay, It was fine. There's definitely a point
where I just sort of saw it through because I
got far enoughing in and I liked being able to
say that I beat the game. I don't think it was.
It's not nearly as good as Vesperio. It's not as
good as Symphonia, the other two games in the series
that I've beaten. If you're curious about the Tales of games,
this is not the one you should lead with. But
if you like those games, here is another one that
is easily accessible thanks to the remass. I think you
know they did a good job with the remaster. Again,
not a bad game, but it's not one that's gonna
stick with me. Like it has a playable epilogue. It's
one of those that they think they added when they
made the PS three version of it, because it was
a wee game of first and I was like, I
don't need to play that.
Speaker 1: That's enough of that.
Speaker 2: But then after that, Jeff, I I did a real
sicko thing and I've done a real sicco thing.
Speaker 1: Here, what have you done?
Speaker 2: Well? It's like I have won a play another. I
like playing the NSOL games a lot. I really do,
like I played. I did also play What Treats of
Rage one and East Watt. I talked about that on
in Ten Dogs. I was like, I want to be
something else, Like, well, what haven't I played most of
these games? They had all that Koe stuff not too
long ago for Super Nintendo like I no Banaga no,
but not though they did that Romas Your Kingdoms, but
also Untreded Waters, New Horizon.
Speaker 1: Right, this is the one I'm most interested in. What's
what's should I play this?
Speaker 2: I think you would like this game, Jeff, because it
is just a straight up uh like kind of start
with very little with just some money and one ship,
start buying loan, sewing high, build.
Speaker 1: Up your fleet. It's a compound interest game with arbitrage.
Speaker 2: It's a compound interest game, and it's just like one
of those on the S an E. S. It's sort
of the best ways because it just looks like an
S A E S game. It's got great SNES music.
Even you know, you would you worry about menus and stuff.
Not as bad as I would expect, honestly, like this game,
like in a Romance to the Three Kingdoms, I'm not
sure how that all works here. It's not that complicated.
You know, you're buying supplies, you're buying stuff from one city,
you're reallocating sources. It all works fine with these deep
pad menus. The flavor of it's fun, Like there's like
the slightest bit of stories. There's like eight character campaigns.
So I picked some young young guy from Istanbul. So
right now, really all I'm doing in the game as
getting started is I'm buying. I'm buying tapestries or something
an Instanbul. Then I'm taking those over to Athens and
selling them there, and then buying art from Athens and
taking it back and just making sure I have enough supplies.
And I'm like, okay, I'm building up money. So then
I bought a second ship so i'd have more room
in my hold. And also like all the people invested
in me, like I got to pay them back. Sometimes
I'm a bit of a stupid idiot. I promise them
a ten times return, so it's like a lot that
I owe them. But there's all there's all sorts of
other things, Like they're telling me like, oh, you have
to pay twenty percent tax unless you get exempted from
the taxes. I try to go into the palace and
they're like, oh, we don't let losers in here yet,
So I got to figure that out. There's like a
big house, Like this big house is empty, maybe someone
will own it someday. You can even accept missions that
are like because there is some kind of naval combat.
I haven't encountered that yet. And even told me my
ships are good for the sea but not for open water.
So at some point I can maybe have like a
bigger trade route than I'm following. I could go exploring
and fine bigger places. Right now, small ships small small cargo,
so I gotta you know, you have to have supplies
for each day they are out on sea. So I
have to make sure that I have enough supplies, but
not so much that I can't carry the cargo that
I need to sell things, and it's just actually a
pretty satisfying loop. I thought I would try this for
a little bit and be like, yeah, this is way
too much for me. Instead, I am actually enjoying uncharted
waters and new horizons quite a bit. I think I'm
going to keep playing it.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm on the BombCast a few weeks ago
when I was describing the combat and Expedition thirty three,
and you are making those noises that you make when
you're very excited about something. That's how I feel about everything.
You just said, Holy shit, that sounds awesome. I'm playing
this immediately. It's like I saw the trailer and I'm like, well,
you know, I'm looking at I hope it's like this
and this and this, and then you just said it's
all those things and more. I'm like, oh my god,
I can't believe I never knew about this thing.
Speaker 2: It's just one of those things out and I'm like,
it's surprisingly fun, and I love how Super Nintendo is
right right, Like even like when you're in the town
is almost like you're playing one of those old school
jeripy GE's, Like you're walking around you have to go
into the tavern to recruit people for your ship. You
have to go into the store, you have to go
into the dock master to buy ships and whatnot. It's
just it's not like it's entirely menu based like some
of these games can be. Even when you're when you're
moving the ship, you are controlling it with the dpad,
and like sometimes it's like a little slower because you're
waiting for the wind, and sometimes the wind's really picking up.
So it just, I don't know, it feels era accurate
in a weird way. So if you saw those Koe
Techno games get added to NSL and you just immediately
assume none of them are for you, I don't know
about the other three, but uh, unchaired Water is surprisingly
accessible and surprisingly fun.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I uh so a lot of people
in chats that you just sold it and sold them
on this game, and yeah, music to my ears. I
love that kind of stuff. I wish that that was
more common, Like I wish there was a Star Wars
game that was basically just this that would be so
much fun to me. But hey, whatever, I don't need that.
I got uncharged Waters and my switch right now. I
could just go play this, So I'm gonna do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. That's like I knew as soon
as it was like buying low and selling hot and
even like so like after I did a few trips,
I was like, oh, you're you like leveled up. I
was like, what does that mean? And then when I
tried to buy something you can't back out and try
to haggle. I was like, I don't want to pay
two hundred and twenty for UR. I want to pay
to ten. And the guy's like, I'm not going to
do that. But then my guy just piped in, like
I know that you'll still make a profit at two fifteen.
He's like, you got me, I'll sew.
Speaker 1: It to you at that.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, so it's worth always trying to haggle
at least a little bit here. Okay, okay, okay. You
know I have not had to look up a guide
or anything like that. I've just been playing the game, right.
Speaker 1: That's that is one of those things I like about
those games where it's like it's not about a set path,
it is about like finding your like finding your own
way through all these systems and these obstacles they put
in your way, and the joy is just coming up
with your own ideas and trying them. That's that's cool. Okay, Yeah,
I'm really looking forward to this. Thanks for thanks for
trying it. Let me know it's my game. I cannot wait. Yeah,
there you go.
Speaker 2: So how about you, though, Jeff, anything you've been playing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's still been blueprints and talked about it
in a million times in a million places. But you know,
I won't, you know, go into it a ton here
just to say and yeah, I keep discovering new stuff still.
I know I've said that like every time I've talked
about it, but it's always been true, even as I'm
like getting to point where I'm like, oh, I think
I'm lining this down, and it's like, oh, this room,
another room, yet another room. I thought I saw everything
there was to see in here, and there's another puzzle.
There's more clues, and those clues a lot of times
those clues will lead to things like here is a
small little lore, dumb, and a lot of times they
will lead to something that is like this whole new
gameplay concept. So still just enthralled by it. It's uh
and and you know, having a game that I want
to be playing all the time. Has felt really nice
after a lot of stuff just wasn't hitting for me,
Like I really liked a Vowed, But after I got
through the first area, I dificitly was like, I get it.
I'm good, you know, I don't feel the need to
finish this thing. I'm like, I got a lot of
enjoyment out of that, and it's there. I could go
back to it. And I have been like eyeing Kingdom
Come Deliverance too and maybe going back to that, but
nothing's like just grabbing me the way this has. So
I've been very happy to just keep playing it. And yeah,
it's favorite game of the year for a reason so far.
But yeah, beyond that, it's been just like poking around
with my old like retro tink and my handhelds. I'm
still playing some other three here and there. I haven't
had a ton of time for that, but I have
been keeping it charge and keeping I got it in
my pocket right now and been playing it a little
bit kind of into I think I just got to
the end of chapter two, so there's like a prologue,
chapter one, chapter two, and I can't remember how many
chapters are in the game, but I'm at the end
of chapter two and it's cool to like just kind
of interact with all these characters as like one character
and then get to a point where you're playing as
different characters and how they all kind of join the team,
like having characters that join your team for a little
bit as just like a a side character that like
just chimes in on the text field when you're in battle.
And then there's other characters that join you that actually
you can fight as and they have their own combat stuff.
Speaker 2: Right, that's neat. Yeah, Irkon does that sort of in
the beginning of the game, especially that fly who joins it.
You probably got at least that far in it's like
the first thing. Yeah, eventually it's just more permanent party
members kind of a thing. So yeah, I would like that, yep.
Speaker 1: But that's it. Definitely kind of in the next couple
of weeks or some stuff coming out. Expedition thirty three
is definitely what I'm looking at, and I want to
play Oblivion, so kind of keeping the schedule clear for
stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I actually I have been playing more about because
I do kind of want to finish it before this
Oblivion thing. Right, does happen? I am having fun just
kind of walking around. I like my favorite part of
the game is when you get to the new area,
you go to the town the first time, you kind
of do the story stuff, and then it's like, all right,
now go do all of the quests kind of at once,
and it's a very sort of uninterrupted walking around shooting things,
getting up grade materials, upgrading things. I think that's a
that's one of the game's feeling the best for me.
Speaker 1: Mike, have you heard of this game? Aaron Shore aaronshore
e r eron e r e n s h o
r one word.
Speaker 2: You are Ian? I see it coming up now. Well,
is this like supposed to look like a freaking ever
quest or something or it's a unescape.
Speaker 1: It is a single player a faux MMO that supposed
to yes, evoke the feelings of very early MMOs, and
it like fakes all the online interaction stuff. And I've
I've downloaded it and I think I'm gonna try it.
But it's got very positive on Steam. People are very
like are saying very cool things about it, and I'm
kind of just like wondering, Like when you look at
it like, what's your take on it? Like, how do
you feel about them?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Man, it's playing music on my speakers, Like do you
think that? Just like looking at it, like it does
a good job of capturing that era.
Speaker 2: Oh I think it looks cool as hell.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Immediately it's making me think of EverQuest one, Like it's less,
it has like less shading on the textures than that
even but it does remind me like EverQuest one in
Astron's Call, and you know I was there. I was,
I was there gandal right, So yeah, this is this
is activating me. I might even be going slightly vertical
looking at this.
Speaker 1: I saw this in my I wonder what Mike would
think if it's like uh, because it's clearly it's nostalgia bay,
but I think it's done with like a ton of
love and uh and like you have to like it
had to have been made by someone who really knows
those games to be able to capture so many of
the elements just by like at a glance being like,
oh my god, look at all that stuff that's in there.
So I'm gonna try this out because I've never really
played those games, and I think it'd be fun to
do one offline single player that's faking it.
Speaker 2: This is how you're going to get into MMOs exactly
A CROWA crowfile that come out.
Speaker 1: I don't thing what's crowfile? I don't, I don't just
all that.
Speaker 2: Was one of the big like Kickstarter MMOs, and it
was gonna be have a real big PvP focus came
out of twenty twenty one. The Silka's crowfile still going on.
Everybody was taken off line in November twenty second, twenty
twenty two. Never by Jeff. That game's been offline for
two and a half years.
Speaker 1: Jesus. All right, well fair enough, but yeah, that's that's
all I got. Anything else, Mike, No.
Speaker 2: They haven't canceled Star Wars Starfighter out of respect yet.
But maybe's working on.
Speaker 1: I think he's he's gonna make things happen for you.
Don't worry, buddy. Let's get through the rest of the
super chats and then we'll wrap up this show.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, we still have some more of those. Let's see,
Uh where was the last one that that? I think
it's from super Harmon here. I've been browsing the EGM archive. Boy,
the stake sure seems like a great resource for Blake Club.
The e GM archive is just fun in general. That's
the digital archive of all the EGM issues that's now
available for people who have back to the e GM
compendium on Kickstarter, which as a reminder, Jeff and I
have contributed to that table top book once that releases.
If you go here right now you can you can
find my one and only contribution to print magazines with
my review of what the hell is that game called
Soul of Arcana something like that, Something of Arcana, a
PSG Monster Hunter clone.
Speaker 1: I should have.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, Lord of Arcana. Okay, there it is, so
you can look that up if you want to. Yeah,
Lords of Arcanda. It's plural.
Speaker 1: I have been doing exactly this, not necessarily with e GM,
although when I do see bad reviews in the GM,
I do write it down as well. But it's been
going through a lot of old ultra game players and
game players magazines, and I have a note in my
note app that it's just every time I see a
game with a terrible review, I write it down. I'm like,
I'm saving this.
Speaker 2: It's important work.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: Let's see here now. Next one is from Willow Davis.
He says Mike, dogs have souls. You might not, though. Wowy,
somebody sent me a clip of Tam from I Think
Today playing something and saying that they should ban petting
dogs and video games. So now TAM's just trying to
steal my gimmick. And I thought we were best friends.
Speaker 1: Hey, ye listen, Well, if you guys are best friends,
you would loan it to him.
Speaker 2: He's gotta ask. Look, I'm not saying I won't forgive
him if he comes does the right thing.
Speaker 4: That's a horrible take. We don't like that take. That's
a horrible take. Agree we should pet more cuts and
dogs and video games can.
Speaker 2: Pet more real dogs and cats. It says, could wow,
could GB video game Jeopardy come back some times?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah it could. It's just, uh, it's very busy.
Shawn's very busy. Also, we're very busy, and like, I
don't know, maybe people get this about you and me, Mike,
but we're not. We're just bad at getting guests like
that is actually kind of a stressful thing about it
as well. So it's not like dead and if you're
subscribed to the Patreon because of that, I get it.
But Shawn's been very busy we've been very busy. We
want to do more. We'll probably try to find a
way to do this that is less work for Sean
and come back with something eventually, but maybe on the
other side of summer. Game fust at this.
Speaker 3: Point, Yeah, we've been we've been talking about It's not
all talk. I have been trying to figure it out,
but we are like reworking the format. It's not going
to be Jeopardy anymore, but it's going to be We
are going to, you know, bring it back in some
variety as a trivia show that is just easier for
me to put together, easier to produce at all that
good stuff. So, like Jeff said, it's not dead, but
we might. I still need a little bit more time
here as things get even busier for us for the
next two months, but maybe in summer, you know, and
that's when it comes back.
Speaker 1: Dan and Chet says, Oh, so I retire undefeated, jesus,
I mean nobody ever being on me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we should have never started that show. Grugg says,
why is Mike really good the games where the impartial
Discord community doesn't get to vote on the winner? Is
he cheating? I demand a drug man I've got an
excellent point, Jeff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Something weird there. You must be
rigging it some other way.
Speaker 2: All right, that's it. That is like podcast number eleven
or whatever for the week done for me. You still
have seven more left, so well, at least we neither
of us had to do dump Truck today, so that
was no.
Speaker 1: No, yeah I had to.
Speaker 2: It's always fun, but it's like, yeah, I did need.
Speaker 1: The day off. I had some other stuff going on,
and it's kind of it was it was fun to
watch it. I did watch it, and that was it
was a good episode. They crushed it as always, so yes,
didn't have to do dumb truck. We all have some
fun stuff on Giant Bomb tomorrow. But people should check
out nine East Disney. Right, you'll have a new episode
this weekend.
Speaker 2: We're ordering it tomorrow, so it'll probably go up. Yeah,

open when they said it would.
Speaker 2: I mean that there's some people complain they go there,
lost stuff is down, it's a lot of complicated rides,
and it still doesn't quite open yet. They're probably being careful.
So it's so so supposed to open when it opens though,
which is later in May. I forget what exactly. But
after we get there, there might be previews. We might
see if we can sneak in, but we might not
be going in distrip.

about the prequels, just not watching the movies or the

like he's got he's a really good idea guy, and
the ideas in a lot of those movies they're terribly executed,
but they're good.

a prequel guy. But because I wasn't cy when those
movies came out and it was hot shit.
