Speaker 1: Hello there. You know. Oh, I did terrible in the
Speaker 1: music queue down. That's my bad. You know, we're rocking
Speaker 1: without the captain here. I feel like and I feel
Speaker 1: like I've been on many side quests. I know I
Speaker 1: have been with Dylan. I think I don't know like
Speaker 1: the I know. I think I feel like you said
Speaker 1: like hello and welcome all. Sometimes I can't remember, you know,
Speaker 1: That's what happens. The brain goes the most sometimes. But
Speaker 1: I am the number one Kylern fanboy today and today
Speaker 1: I'm joined by uh mister or sixty six to feel
Speaker 1: how you doing today?
Speaker 2: I'm pretty good, do pretty good?
Speaker 1: That's very good. Rocky Rocky after hapending.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we kind of hijacked the side quest this week,
Speaker 2: so so it's pretty good. Is zill on vacation? Is
Speaker 2: he fired? Or what happened?
Speaker 1: You guys will find two weeks but no, he is
Speaker 1: on vacation. Is joined the nice two weeks off? So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's why we're holding down the fort this week and
Speaker 1: then me and Kirkler holding down the fort next week.
Speaker 1: So yeah, look out for that. That's gonna be a
Speaker 1: good time. A couple of weeks ago, you and Kirkland
Speaker 1: hosted a side Quest, so it's been a month like
Speaker 1: filled of no Dylan, so Sidequest will be ready for
Speaker 1: him when he gets back, because he's got Lego Batman
Speaker 1: coming out, ain't got James Bond coming out, Tay, I'm
Speaker 1: getting very I know you're not picking up Bond, but
Speaker 1: I'm getting very excited for both these games. They announced
Speaker 1: that Lego Batman the City supposedly is bigger than Arkham
Speaker 1: Knights Gotham, which to me is massive, and then Bond.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to stay away. I still even haven't heard
Speaker 1: the opening theme song for Bond yet because I want
Speaker 1: to hear it the first time when I boot the game.
Speaker 1: But he's previews and everything, and I've heard just even
Speaker 1: some of the score tailor. It's sounding really good. I think.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you ever get to play. I'm
Speaker 1: sure you'll play at some point, but the score so
Speaker 1: far of this game has been sound of phenomenal. So
Speaker 1: lot's of good stuff upcoming. We don't mean, but we
Speaker 1: don't have much to talk about as far as what
Speaker 1: we've been watching. So I'm gonna disappoint you there. We're
Speaker 1: gonna disappoint you there. Listeners and Dylan. I don't know Kirkland.
Speaker 1: I know he's playing something juicy, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: He might share it next week. Maybe we'll see what
Speaker 1: we come up with. If not, I might wait for Dylan.
Speaker 1: If not, Dylan's gonna enjoy listening to that because, uh,
Speaker 1: I know what he's been playing, and there's some there's
Speaker 1: some good stuff there. I'm very excited for him to
Speaker 1: share those thoughts. But yeah, the mostly plays like little
Speaker 1: GM mode here and there, but I'm kind of waiting
Speaker 1: for Leo Batman and Bond. I want to try and
Speaker 1: play something in between. But just been busy and obviously
Speaker 1: daybor tumbless today. It's been a getting really hot out
Speaker 1: so we've been doing lots of hikes and outdoors and
Speaker 1: we had the little pool set up, so lots of
Speaker 1: outside time. So the game's kind of fall away. But yeah,
Speaker 1: is there anything you've dabb feed in at all or
Speaker 1: just been a game free a little bit waiting for
Speaker 1: Lego Batman, because you're you're still on board for Lego Batman, right,
Speaker 1: You're still picking that up, so.
Speaker 2: On board for it. But as of late, the only
Speaker 2: thing I've really was just been diving into heavy just
Speaker 2: been the Pokemon Champions A. Yeah, the season's coming to
Speaker 2: an end, so I've been trying to just get my
Speaker 2: my ranking a little bit higher in the tournament of that.
Speaker 2: Uh that aside. This morning, it was just a low
Speaker 2: key morning. So I boot it up and Seteene was
Speaker 2: with me, and so I in the mornings like, if
Speaker 2: I'm not feeling like I want to do the Pokemon,
Speaker 2: I'll just kind of do like a cycle of different games.
Speaker 2: So I played some Hogwarts Legacies war Like Hogwarts Legacy
Speaker 2: that much.
Speaker 1: Why not scary?
Speaker 2: I think the goblins kind of freagure out. So we
Speaker 2: put on what was the other thing? I put on
Speaker 2: a No because it was so on the Xbox. No,
Speaker 2: I was gonna do Lego, but I didn't up doing
Speaker 2: like a Star Wars Battlefront. She enjoyed seeing the heroes
Speaker 2: villains match. And then I put on Star Wars Racers
Speaker 2: because they had the the old sixty four one that's
Speaker 2: like graphically like spooched up and everything like that on
Speaker 2: Xbox on games Pass, so I put that on. I
Speaker 2: was doing the a bunch of races on the That
Speaker 2: was a lot of fun. She enjoyed watching that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: just kind of getting excited for Galactic Racers, least.
Speaker 1: Say that's gonna be a fun It's gonna be great
Speaker 1: to see that in all its glory. As far as yeah, see,
Speaker 1: we were not committing to anything because we do have
Speaker 1: extra life coming up before. But because Taylor and I
Speaker 1: in the future, we've been playing. Taylor and I are
Speaker 1: both in Halloween. I'll beg in Glack Racers, but I
Speaker 1: really won't play it. So if we can set up
Speaker 1: Halloween's easier because Halloween we can do late night whatnot
Speaker 1: Glack streamers. I'd obviously have to go over to Taylor's
Speaker 1: house or something, but I would very much like to
Speaker 1: try to stream those two games because I think we
Speaker 1: have some good times with those. So I'm excited for
Speaker 1: all those updates for Galactic Racer. And that's why if
Speaker 1: you haven't noticed, obviously you clicked on this episode, you
Speaker 1: know what we're talking about. But when this releases, we're
Speaker 1: releasing it a little earlier because there's a lot of
Speaker 1: contents we want psychuest to get. It's h it's time
Speaker 1: and also it is when you're listening to this in
Speaker 1: the recording, it is May the fourth, So happy made
Speaker 1: a fourth to you all Star Wars he all day.
Speaker 1: Let's see what else we got going on. Me and
Speaker 1: Taylor reviewing mall the next day, so if you're into that,
Speaker 1: you can check that. And if there's some other Star
Speaker 1: Wars stuff, we might be covering that episode as well.
Speaker 1: But in honor of that, there's not any Star Wars
Speaker 1: game news per se when we're recording this. Maybe there
Speaker 1: could be something that pops up, and again we can
Speaker 1: cover that at a later time. But we're gonna be
Speaker 1: talking about two things today. We're going to go over
Speaker 1: go a little get some blurbs and maybe do a
Speaker 1: ranking if they were hauled them out what we'd be
Speaker 1: most excited for. We're gonna talk about all the act
Speaker 1: of Star Wars games that have been announced, and then
Speaker 1: we're gonna give you a nice little just top five
Speaker 1: of our our favor our favorite games of all time.
Speaker 1: We didn't do like a combined list because me and Taylor,
Speaker 1: just like if you've tuned in any Canteen of Conversations
Speaker 1: in the past, which is our Star Wars spin our show,
Speaker 1: you can check out things in the backlog. Maybe it
Speaker 1: might be coming back in the future. If you guys
Speaker 1: do some good stuff on GVD now, so to be
Speaker 1: put out there, we have very different tastes in Star
Speaker 1: Wars and we joined Star Wars and much like with games,
Speaker 1: So today I'm gonna I'm gonna lean to you. What
Speaker 1: would you like to start with? First? Do you want
Speaker 1: to go with our top five favorite Star Wars games?
Speaker 1: Or do you want to talk about the upcoming games
Speaker 1: that have been announced that may or may not come out.
Speaker 1: We never know, but I.
Speaker 2: Feel like we should save the top five for for
Speaker 2: the end. I feel like that'll be a juicy little
Speaker 2: tidbit there. I feel like we will be pretty quick
Speaker 2: rolling through the games.
Speaker 1: I'll be I'll be and I'll be excited to see
Speaker 1: if we do have any crossover we might.
Speaker 2: Have there might be one. I think at least one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I don't know, maybe two. There could
Speaker 1: be another one, but there's one that I don't know.
Speaker 1: Because and that's the thing too, when we get to
Speaker 1: it Star Wars, those they put out so many games
Speaker 1: when we were kids, like.
Speaker 2: Because arts was just going fucking ham.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like when I was looking at some of the
Speaker 1: games on these let's cause I was doing refresher make
Speaker 1: sure I didn't miss any There's tons that I didn't play.
Speaker 1: Like there's even like I forgot there's like an obi
Speaker 1: one game. I've never played that if you came in
Speaker 1: like the PlayStation era.
Speaker 2: That was like, yeah, Star Wars episode one, obi Wan
Speaker 2: or whatever it was, right, So, because there's.
Speaker 1: A Phantom Metace game, but then there's an obi Wan game.
Speaker 2: Is that it's like a green cover with obi Wan
Speaker 2: on the front?
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you play? Is that like before Phantom Menace
Speaker 1: or is that pretty sure?
Speaker 2: It's it's I never played it, but I thought it
Speaker 2: was like during the event a little bit.
Speaker 1: Well, but that'd be weird because the Phantom Menace game
Speaker 1: is during the events of Fantasy.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But when that movie came out, like they fucking
Speaker 2: made a ton of games, like the pod racing game, right, like,
Speaker 2: and they just said so much.
Speaker 1: Well, especially because Star Wars was such a merch juggernaut, right,
Speaker 1: so obviously in the prequel, like they still did well there,
Speaker 1: and I feel like they're just making games but not
Speaker 1: so maybe when we get into that, we'll try and
Speaker 1: look and see what the difference is. But there were
Speaker 1: so many games. That's why I had to look up. There's
Speaker 1: tons of games that I've never even played. That's why
Speaker 1: I even think there's one on my list that I
Speaker 1: feel like I've never heard you mentioned. So you might
Speaker 1: not even go when you grew up, because again, our
Speaker 1: parents probably weren't rolling it, so it's like, Okay, here's
Speaker 1: your game and whatnot. But yeah, there's a couple of
Speaker 1: shouts I have. So all right, let's go for the
Speaker 1: upcoming Star Wars games. We're gonna hope these all come out.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with one that we know what's coming out.
Speaker 1: It's dated for Uh, well, I guess we talk I
Speaker 1: guess we would talk about is there anything actually on
Speaker 1: Galactic Racer you want to say that we haven't said
Speaker 1: here because we were just talking about that I screwed up.
Speaker 1: That was a perfect transition into it. That's go about
Speaker 1: October sixth, they released all the packages for it, all
Speaker 1: the type of statues things like that. So one as
Speaker 1: you just said you were buying it out of ten,
Speaker 1: what's your anticipation for this game? And what copy here? Again?
Speaker 1: Because yeah, they put out a lot of things. And
Speaker 1: I heard you might even uh with Goo the Digital
Speaker 1: maybe I think you had a.
Speaker 2: Bad time, a bad time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I three to you and then you were You're.
Speaker 2: Oh no, it was just my my attention was caught
Speaker 2: for a brief second. I yes, I I'm excited for
Speaker 2: this game. I really really am. I'm very particular about
Speaker 2: my racing games. I know, you got your Forces and
Speaker 2: you got your uh what's the other one?
Speaker 1: Not for Speed back in the day, but they're kind
Speaker 1: of dead now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nothing even comes remotely close to the original and
Speaker 2: you for Speed most wanted.
Speaker 1: Guy, that one that was a prime one, but the.
Speaker 2: Other one you got four Za and then what is
Speaker 2: the other one? The other main racing game that's out
Speaker 2: right now on PlayStation has it? Crismo? That's the other
Speaker 2: one a movie for Yeah, so there's like the two
Speaker 2: head honchos and like I'm I know there's a market
Speaker 2: for it, people like it. But the games like that,
Speaker 2: the Crew, all those kind of other racing games. It
Speaker 2: is never is really my cup of tea, but once
Speaker 2: in a while there's a racing game that kind of
Speaker 2: pulls me in, and usually Rocket League kind of satisfies
Speaker 2: my Mi car driving craves cravings. But this this game
Speaker 2: looks really, really awesome, and it would have been a
Speaker 2: bit more problematic if it was just race like speeders
Speaker 2: and not pod racing. But seeing the pod racers in
Speaker 2: there and whatnot, I'm like, okay, that's that's actually what
Speaker 2: I really want was the pod racing. And again I'm
Speaker 2: a sucker for that Easter Egg mumbo jumbo. You see
Speaker 2: Subulba going around there and you see Oh, what was
Speaker 2: the other guy's name?
Speaker 1: I know what you talked about?
Speaker 2: Yeah you know, yeah, he was the Boonta Eve guy.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I got a fund because I just
Speaker 2: I saw him earlier in playing that Ben Quadronaro. Yeah,
Speaker 2: what a legend. I can't believe they threw this guy
Speaker 2: in there. That was amazing. So I'm totally down for
Speaker 2: this is gonna be great.
Speaker 1: And I love the.
Speaker 2: Idea that it's like post episode six, that's just go to.
Speaker 1: Some of the new locations are spruced up a little bit,
Speaker 1: and that makes me happy that pop racing is still
Speaker 1: going on. You know.
Speaker 2: So I just wanted to be fully customizable.
Speaker 1: Yeah is that happening?
Speaker 2: I haven't I haven't actually looked, but I'm assuming like
Speaker 2: if you're doing a racing game, just like any other
Speaker 2: racing game, you can edit your your ride and you
Speaker 2: have to be able to do that in here.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I really hope that's one that also pops
Speaker 1: in the Gauntlet in Extra Life, and that maybe it's
Speaker 1: not even us playing it just to see two people play,
Speaker 1: because we did have it popped. But once, that's all Dylan.
Speaker 1: One was second championship against Jessica, but it was not
Speaker 1: a fair It didn't go well for Jessica. Let's just
Speaker 1: say it wasn't the most exciting pod racing and obviously
Speaker 1: back then those controls not the greatest, right, But yeah,
Speaker 1: what type of version are you have? You decided? What
Speaker 1: you again? Because you talked about maybe getting physical. Where
Speaker 1: are you on that right now? Well?
Speaker 2: I can't even get on the EB Games's website.
Speaker 1: It just says that trying to buy Uh what is it?
Speaker 2: God, I've screwed up the joke by eBay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I screwed up the joke. Damn it, Like, what.
Speaker 2: Is this bullshit?
Speaker 1: My god?
Speaker 2: Games do c A just like nothing?
Speaker 1: Well? No, isn't isn't it just game stop?
Speaker 2: Now? No game stop changed, right? Game stop became because
Speaker 2: the eb games became game Stop, and then game Stop
Speaker 2: was bought and turned back into e B Games. It
Speaker 2: was a whole new rebranding that they did. I've been
Speaker 2: I know because I've been following them. See, look is
Speaker 2: this block because it's games. Oh what the he I
Speaker 2: put in? I put in game Stop and it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: you're Canada is like proudly Canadian, built by fans EB Games.
Speaker 2: It's this whole new thing that they've been pushing to rebrand.
Speaker 1: Themselves that you can't go to the EB game site.
Speaker 1: So is there anything on Bad Spy for this?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh it's a good idea. Let me take a gander.
Speaker 1: Actually yeah, but no, I'm excited. I don't I have
Speaker 1: to see pricing of this. This could be a game
Speaker 1: that if I play it at Taylor's and the stream
Speaker 1: that I really like it. I could see myself when
Speaker 1: we're gonna whole screen scare of Taylor looking for the game.
Speaker 1: But I could see myself buying it because I think
Speaker 1: I could have tons of fun with the kids. They
Speaker 1: love Mano Kart. But I want to get buying hands
Speaker 1: on this. But I think this is really exciting to
Speaker 1: get the kind of modern day graphics look and feel
Speaker 1: on this type of game. So I yeah, I'm very curious,
Speaker 1: and I mean I'm be curious what the price point
Speaker 1: is as well too, because that could be a big
Speaker 1: point of me buying it or not buying it. But
Speaker 1: I think this was very smart. I think they did
Speaker 1: realize that, and even myself, I've gone back and said
Speaker 1: with Star Wars, they probably did go too hard against
Speaker 1: the prequels when they first started. They should just when
Speaker 1: they accept all policy, because there is tons of people
Speaker 1: that love those prequels and cherish them, and you know, honestly,
Speaker 1: we'll spend money on it, right, So Taylor's one of
Speaker 1: those guys. So but yeah, I think this is a
Speaker 1: very fun game. It could be a very fun game,
Speaker 1: and I think it's a good idea. Just gotta see
Speaker 1: pricing it. Obviously, hopefully reviews well, you know, hopefully it's
Speaker 1: not comes out and it's a big sixty, you know,
Speaker 1: Orange stinker, you know, so we'll see. So remember that
Speaker 1: when we rank them. The other one which I was
Speaker 1: going to before I realized I did a terrible transition,
Speaker 1: Toyo star Wars Zero Company, a single player, turn based
Speaker 1: tactic game set during the Clone Wars developed by bit Reactor. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the reason it's twenty twenty six so it's not dated
Speaker 1: yet I don't know when this is gonna come out,
Speaker 1: because I feel like this could get pushed because I
Speaker 1: feel I know they're completely different, but do they really
Speaker 1: want to have two Star Wars games coming on the
Speaker 1: same year, But which we'll talk about in a second,
Speaker 1: there might be a different game coming out next year,
Speaker 1: so I don't know, but I'm very excited. I absolutely
Speaker 1: loved what I had my time with Midnight Suns. Austin,
Speaker 1: me and Dilm are massive fans of that. We did
Speaker 1: multiple casts about that if this could tackle anything similar
Speaker 1: in the vein of Okay, yeah, I said set during
Speaker 1: the Clone Wars. If this tackler tackle anything in the vein,
Speaker 1: even if it's like feventy percent of what Marvel Knights
Speaker 1: got me or Marvel Midnights, I'm sorry. I'm so in
Speaker 1: because I just think that it's not exactly aesthetic, but
Speaker 1: that idea of the tactics, the characters. I think they
Speaker 1: also said too, there's some characters that I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's through a playthrough or whatnot. I think it's
Speaker 1: how fine it while you're talking, I think they talked
Speaker 1: about having some sort of permit death or something, which
Speaker 1: to me is kind of nuts because I feel like
Speaker 1: that just gives it so much more. Let's see. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Zero Company features a core perman deth mechanic where squad
Speaker 1: members broke both handcrafted and procedure generated, can die permanently
Speaker 1: if down in tactical X com style combat, which I've
Speaker 1: never played. While the main protagonist Hawks cannot die permanently,
Speaker 1: other companions are vulnerable, making decisions and team management critical
Speaker 1: to the narrative experience. So I think that adds something
Speaker 1: because like Tarry when I'm playing Marvel Knights, or I
Speaker 1: don't know why to keep saying that Midnight Suns, I
Speaker 1: got Spidey, even have liking Spidy and jacking up if
Speaker 1: he dies. I know, Hey, I just got making a
Speaker 1: next game, spidicing me back right. Can you imagine it
Speaker 1: feels like back in the nay too, like going Reddad.
Speaker 1: That was the big thing I think everyone agreed on
Speaker 1: it is you'd get your horse. You're with it there
Speaker 1: all these ventures journeys. You're buying stuff for it, and
Speaker 1: if it gets shot or falls off a cliff, that
Speaker 1: hurt you. So imagine like you're playing Star Wars, You've
Speaker 1: created this character or gone this character and it's like
Speaker 1: your guy, your gal super badss cool, You're just like
Speaker 1: your go to and you lose them and they're just gone.
Speaker 1: That Like, I know some people might not like it,
Speaker 1: but at the same time, I think that adds to
Speaker 1: the journey because you're always gonna remember that tea if
Speaker 1: you get some cool you know. Let's say the let's
Speaker 1: see the sidewalker master's side, No, that's he's Skywalker. I
Speaker 1: I there's a Beatles picture on my box here and
Speaker 1: as a sidewalk. Let's say it's a Boonta Grass, right,
Speaker 1: best bounty hinder in the galaxy, right, Boonta Grass, he's
Speaker 1: on your team. I think what will make this game
Speaker 1: more memorable is when he dies and you can never
Speaker 1: get him back. You'll never forget that, right, if it's
Speaker 1: someone you really like, where if they just like I said,
Speaker 1: Spider Man and mar a minute suns, he'd had hundreds
Speaker 1: of time with me and other characters, right, But if
Speaker 1: I were to lose Spider Man so we can't play
Speaker 1: the Speriamen ever again. Or I think it's even fun
Speaker 1: if you like just get someone on your team and
Speaker 1: they were to die right away and they're just kind
Speaker 1: of like this loser character and in your mind, Lord,
Speaker 1: it's like, oh I did a cut. You know, I
Speaker 1: had jar j R. Binks the second but he died
Speaker 1: like first mission. That guy sucked. So I think I
Speaker 1: don't actually know if anyone's getting this game with me.
Speaker 1: To be honest, I know, Dylan, I think it's thought about.
Speaker 1: I think with Star Wars it's always if he would
Speaker 1: Dylan like, I think he has to be really sold,
Speaker 1: you know, he really like Outlaws. But I'm hoping whether
Speaker 1: it's you, Dalan, or Crookland, somebody gets me gets that
Speaker 1: game because I think it'd be fun to talk about
Speaker 1: our journeys paralleling each other. So obviously too, I'm very
Speaker 1: excited for this game. I won't say it's a Day
Speaker 1: one lock for me. I have to see the reception,
Speaker 1: but I feel like with the team behind it, their
Speaker 1: history of making these games, I feel like it's pretty
Speaker 1: safe to be well made. So I feel like I've
Speaker 1: kind of not seen you go in Waves. I feel
Speaker 1: like they've seen you times talk about this a lot,
Speaker 1: and then go Nolan's where are you in zero Company?
Speaker 1: In your likelihood of acquiring.
Speaker 2: This, I'm not like running to get this day. One
Speaker 2: I need to see. I need to see some gameplay first.
Speaker 2: That's the big hangoup. I want to see what I'm
Speaker 2: dealing with, because I don't think it's got multiplayer or
Speaker 2: anything like that. I think it's just a single player experience.
Speaker 1: I think so, yeah, I think because it's the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's some tactics games that I really do like.
Speaker 2: I mean, Gears Tactics is great.
Speaker 1: And also if you really don't like that, I didn't know.
Speaker 1: They also made the option to turn off perma depth.
Speaker 1: So there you go, which is perfect beauf you don't
Speaker 1: like that, which I will because I just think that's fun.
Speaker 1: But that's cool if it's like, hey, if you you
Speaker 1: want to keep boonta jar jar or whatever boom, you
Speaker 1: can keep them there.
Speaker 2: So mm hmm okay, yeah, I mean it's gonna be uh,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be something that just requires me to look
Speaker 2: at a trailer of gameplay. That's all I want to see.
Speaker 1: Really, Okay, So you could be sold this was all
Speaker 1: about like the roll out, right, because it could take
Speaker 1: one good cinematic and a good gameplay thing and you
Speaker 1: could be locked in because you you've dabbled in Tactics
Speaker 1: before games.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, Gears Tactics Tactics arena that goes back
Speaker 2: in age.
Speaker 1: And yeah, this is set. You're in the Clone Wars.
Speaker 1: So I just feel like if it show as well,
Speaker 1: this isn't there galactic racer set. You're in the Clone Wars.
Speaker 1: These first two games we're talking about, they're pushing to
Speaker 1: you like they're looking at Taylor Field being like, hey,
Speaker 1: you want to get this game?
Speaker 2: You know, yes? And I mean anything in the Clone
Speaker 2: Wars just pulls me in. I would have loved something
Speaker 2: a little bit different than me a tactics game, but again,
Speaker 2: more stuff and more context than the Clone Wars I'm
Speaker 2: down for. And I think this has taking place in
Speaker 2: the tail end of the Clone Wars, the twilight so
Speaker 2: of it. So yeah, I just got to wait and see.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then I'll go the next I think it's
Speaker 1: the most likely. There's been rumors we might get it,
Speaker 1: some reveal on May fourth. There's been some rumors about
Speaker 1: it coming out next year or year's end. This year.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be this year. But Star
Speaker 1: Wars Jedi three. Also, we don't have a we don't
Speaker 1: have a title.
Speaker 2: Right now.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's what this isn't telling me. So
Speaker 1: obviously that's following the journey of Calcestis, And yeah, Taylor,
Speaker 1: where are you on this one? This is I think
Speaker 1: it's I don't know if it's officially confirmed. I think
Speaker 1: they pretty much said this will be the end of
Speaker 1: the trilogy, which kind of makes sense of the Star
Speaker 1: Wars round. But obviously we've had Jedi survived and phoned.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's like the Homecoming titles. Man, I
Speaker 1: hate I hate these titles that jet. I wish it
Speaker 1: was just Star Wars Jedi one, two, and three like
Speaker 1: that is pretty much easier. But yeah, where uh, I
Speaker 1: think we're getting this probably within the next uh, I'll
Speaker 1: say sixteen to eighteen months. I think we're gonna get
Speaker 1: a reveal soon, whether it's on May the fourth or
Speaker 1: even Summer Games best because that's got tear right around
Speaker 1: the corner in June, which we get lots of big stuff.
Speaker 1: So where are you for, uh, Jedi t because or
Speaker 1: Jedi three? Sorry because also we reviewed the first one
Speaker 1: in the second one, so I imagine you're, uh, you're
Speaker 1: seeing Cow's journey.
Speaker 2: Through Yeah, at this point, I have to. I I
Speaker 2: gotta know what's going on because his if I remember correctly,
Speaker 2: has Dathan Marian girl got chopped or did she just bounce?
Speaker 2: Maybe she just bounced she because they they they had
Speaker 2: some romance. They they got down and dirty, and then
Speaker 2: something happened.
Speaker 1: I definitely before I don't think they got down in dirty.
Speaker 1: I think there was ful.
Speaker 2: Oh they did. I know they slept together for sure.
Speaker 2: Oh god, yeah they did in the game where it
Speaker 2: was excessively implied in the in the second one that
Speaker 2: they did.
Speaker 1: But in the past or during during really I don't
Speaker 1: remember that.
Speaker 2: I mean, was her name Marin? Yes, and Star Wars say, well,
Speaker 2: this is the this is the AI thing. The game
Speaker 2: does not explicitly show them having sex, leaving the physical
Speaker 2: nature relationships to interpretation. But I mean you can tell
Speaker 2: they were laying it on.
Speaker 1: No showing directly confirmed. Ok, but then I can't remember
Speaker 1: what happened to her. Did she just leave or maybe
Speaker 1: they were just together. Maybe we're just forgetting that was
Speaker 1: she she was in the first game though, too right
Speaker 1: she was. Yeah, I think that's what we're thinking. I
Speaker 1: think you meet up with her and then she leaves.
Speaker 1: I think the second game, you're reunited with her and
Speaker 1: there as a camp together. Clearly, me and Tate will
Speaker 1: have to watch some YouTube videos that catch us up
Speaker 1: because I won't be replaying these games. We'll have to
Speaker 1: do some recaps so we know what's going on into it.
Speaker 1: But where's your exciting love for this?
Speaker 2: This is this thread talking about if Cal had sex
Speaker 2: with Maren. I'm just talking about like, oh, you know,
Speaker 2: for like Jedi, it's just forbidden, YadA, YadA, YadA. This
Speaker 2: guy says only a Sith deals in absent lubes. Oh boy, sorry.
Speaker 1: That headphone me where he's taking them off. I've never
Speaker 1: taking vacation again. Always your excitement for.
Speaker 2: Jedi three, it's it's up there, It really really is.
Speaker 2: That's in my adult older gaming era. It's been a
Speaker 2: franchise that has really just pissed me off with the
Speaker 2: boss battles that that first game. I remember facing the
Speaker 2: guy with the dual red sabers on Datham here. Oh
Speaker 2: I was. I remember being so vulgar and so mad
Speaker 2: at my TV just I couldn't fucking do it. And
Speaker 2: I know it's all about finding the pattern, and I
Speaker 2: like that the game was pushing me, but I would.
Speaker 2: I'll never go back and do that again. That was
Speaker 2: just absolute hell. And then I remember again in that
Speaker 2: first one, you beat the the inquisitor and that took
Speaker 2: me a long fucking time, man, a long fucking time.
Speaker 2: But I did it. And then Darth Vader comes out
Speaker 2: and I just put the controller down. I thought, all right,
Speaker 2: fucking do me in I I like, let's just let's
Speaker 2: let's try. Let's try, let's see what happens. But fun,
Speaker 2: I thought I was toast. Uh. But the second one
Speaker 2: was a little bit more a groovy. I feel like
Speaker 2: it was not as difficult as that. The first one.
Speaker 1: They definitely pulled it back, they did. I go back
Speaker 1: and forth on my big fight with the first one
Speaker 1: was that guy. He was like the had the long
Speaker 1: hair and he could send lightsabers at shoem. Yeah, that guy.
Speaker 1: He was like a retired Jedi or like in a
Speaker 1: cave or something. So everyone has their one. But the
Speaker 1: second one, they definitely pulled it back some.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm again, I'm excited for this this third one.
Speaker 2: I want to know more about the planet that'shidden away
Speaker 2: from everything. Uh. We got a little bit of the
Speaker 2: nigh Hill that was in there, too, and and the
Speaker 2: the guy I can't remember his name, Dagan something or whatever,
Speaker 2: the Jedi that kind of went rogue. But uh, yeah,
Speaker 2: there's a there's a story there that I really really
Speaker 2: want to see finished. So I'm excited to get there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I guess that's the thing where I can't
Speaker 1: say I'm excited to see it finished because I've liked
Speaker 1: both games. I think if both also everyone knows. You
Speaker 1: can go back to our first review the I had
Speaker 1: terrible experience with the first game graphically wise, Yeah, well
Speaker 1: that was that where I fought that boss where I
Speaker 1: was on the Dragon, I couldn't see myself or something
Speaker 1: like that. I had multiple crashes, multile problems, and yeah,
Speaker 1: I did a full You can go and listen the
Speaker 1: whole episode and it's in there somewhere. I talk about
Speaker 1: for ten minutes about me fighting this boss and on Dragon.
Speaker 1: You're supposed to like time when the things are coming
Speaker 1: and I'm just gone, My character's gone. I have to
Speaker 1: just like I have to go full Matt Murdock mode
Speaker 1: and just feel it. It was awful, but game wise,
Speaker 1: it was fun. And I think this story was in
Speaker 1: two leveling of a bit and I don't know if
Speaker 1: you remember some of my spoilers, but to remember those
Speaker 1: last milments with cal I feel like he was like,
Speaker 1: maybe take it with some dark side stuff. I think
Speaker 1: that I think that I would prefer cause I know
Speaker 1: a lot of people want Calum the Disney plus stuff
Speaker 1: and everything. I actually wouldn't mind if like col gets
Speaker 1: a really set and and you see someone turn the
Speaker 1: dark side, like mid you know, during the dark times,
Speaker 1: because that'd be crazy if someone kind of turned without
Speaker 1: like a Palpatina or a Vader right just on their own.
Speaker 1: Maybe he gets brought back. I don't know, so I
Speaker 1: think all like, it is definitely a game where if
Speaker 1: I want to be a Jedi, I boot it up
Speaker 1: and I have a good time. I boot it every
Speaker 1: once in a while. If I'm on a Star Wars hype,
Speaker 1: I will it is. It is a very fun game.
Speaker 1: I think they're all solid, like eight out of ten's
Speaker 1: that's where I am, and I kind of expect this
Speaker 1: from this one. Sure I would like the finale to
Speaker 1: be maybe a nine. And same thing with the stories.
Speaker 1: I think the stories have their high points and they
Speaker 1: also have their like okay, this is fine, like nothing
Speaker 1: incredibly crazy so I'm my excitement will be depending on
Speaker 1: how hard they go on the dark side stuff. If
Speaker 1: it's just like an attraction to it, then we've been
Speaker 1: there before. If if you could go full Calcast's Dark Side,
Speaker 1: even if he comes back for it, that could be
Speaker 1: some fun stuff. But we'll wait and see. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: throw these two in together, Taylor, because I'm not sure
Speaker 1: how to feel about them. But obviously we've been waiting
Speaker 1: for a while. The Nights of the Old Republic a
Speaker 1: remake of the classic rpg A developed by Saber Interact,
Speaker 1: which was announced years ago, but then they I don't
Speaker 1: think they now think they just said, oh, like we're
Speaker 1: gonna have details soon or something in the near future.
Speaker 1: But it did come out last year that they It
Speaker 1: sounds like it could have been a game that got canceled,
Speaker 1: but sounds like instead of that, they just did a
Speaker 1: big revamp. I think the hopefulness for that is they
Speaker 1: just know they got potential money sitting there right so
Speaker 1: instead of throwing away. So it sounds like that's why
Speaker 1: it's taking longer. Tailors. Maybe this game went we heard
Speaker 1: about different develop like we're whatever team's working on it,
Speaker 1: taking away from others. There's a whole bunch of stuff
Speaker 1: you can look on. There's a bunch of articles about
Speaker 1: the controversies with this game. But at least it's still
Speaker 1: being made. We don't know exactly by who, but's still
Speaker 1: being made. And the hope is that maybe they went, hey,
Speaker 1: this isn't working, let's pull back, let's refocus and tackle it,
Speaker 1: because I think this could be a home run for
Speaker 1: anybody that gets us right. And then also just last
Speaker 1: year Taylor at the Game Awards, we got the Fate
Speaker 1: of the Old Republic so kind of similar. I know
Speaker 1: they're different, but still it is a remake versus the
Speaker 1: new one. Where's it excitment for both these? And? Uh,
Speaker 1: what is your do you think we see these?
Speaker 2: Ever? I I'm not I was optimistic at one point,
Speaker 2: but I'm not feeling like it's a priority to get
Speaker 2: you know, get the old public out there at this stage.
Speaker 2: I feel like there's other things that are just a
Speaker 2: focal point. But when we see the ads or not
Speaker 2: the ads, the articles that pop up, and the rumblings
Speaker 2: like oh, you know they're still working on it and
Speaker 2: this and that, But like when you drop a trailer
Speaker 2: like that, that's cinematic. It wasn't anything like crazy like
Speaker 2: massive of a reveal. It was just you know, the
Speaker 2: lightsaber igniting on and you see, uh the remake. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: for the remake, And I mean I'm excited because I
Speaker 2: want to obviously get back in there. And I think
Speaker 2: when you're redoing this game from the ground up, that's
Speaker 2: that's massive because you're gonna tap into the old school
Speaker 2: fan fan base and the new that has no idea
Speaker 2: who these characters are, the story or anything. So yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's tricky. I wish there was some more incentive
Speaker 2: that was pushing it out the door, like an Old
Speaker 2: Republic live action project of some kind, you know, help
Speaker 2: push it a little bit. But I just feel like
Speaker 2: that era is just kind of out of touch.
Speaker 1: So in that sense though, because you're talking about the
Speaker 1: remake and being all that's why you feel against it.
Speaker 1: How come we got a SEQL announced or like a
Speaker 1: new VERSI just the faith the Old Republic a new version
Speaker 1: announced last year and then where are your thoughts on
Speaker 1: that one?
Speaker 2: Well that's where I feel like, Okay, there they're putting
Speaker 2: that remake in a separate little place, and who knows
Speaker 2: why there's issues with it. Who knows why they can't
Speaker 2: get it off the ground whatever, but it seems like, okay,
Speaker 2: well there's someone out there that was like, you know what,
Speaker 2: fuck it, let's just get this story, well not that story,
Speaker 2: but get the era, something in that era exactly out
Speaker 2: the door and out there for people to enjoy. And
Speaker 2: with the announcement of that fate, of the fate of
Speaker 2: the Republic, I feel like, Okay, this is definitely a
Speaker 2: passion project at this point, and I like that. I
Speaker 2: feel like, Okay, there's gonna be a lot of care
Speaker 2: that's been taken with this game, or we're gonna get
Speaker 2: some really really good stuff here. And I mean, this
Speaker 2: is going to be a canon game, Like it's not
Speaker 2: something that we are going in knowing the story and
Speaker 2: we know all the characters are going to be associated here.
Speaker 2: But I think it's going to be introducing a lot
Speaker 2: of things that we're very familiar with, pulled from the
Speaker 2: Old Republic and it's the Little Public Sorry, And I
Speaker 2: think that, Okay, this is going to be a great
Speaker 2: incorporation of that world into the Star Wars canon if
Speaker 2: you believe in the canon these days, but left that
Speaker 2: long ago.
Speaker 1: I haven't heard that word and in a long time
Speaker 1: or whatever everyone says in many years. Let's take our
Speaker 1: first AD break and then I'm gonna tell you why
Speaker 1: I agree with Taylor a lot. So we'll be ridpeck
Speaker 1: and we're back. If you didn't want that AD break,
Speaker 1: if you want this episode and any others all AD free,
Speaker 1: if you want it early, head over to the links
Speaker 1: down below for everything you need to know. That's where
Speaker 1: you can find our patren where you get, like I said,
Speaker 1: every single episode we do AD free, you can get
Speaker 1: are almost our entire backlog up there. We've been doing
Speaker 1: this for eleven years. Ad Free get a bevy of
Speaker 1: exclusive episodes. All the phases from two to four have
Speaker 1: their own certain set of episodes. You go your producer tier,
Speaker 1: you get every single episode on that exclusive tier. We're
Speaker 1: doing over fifty episodes. If you are hyped on resid
Speaker 1: Evil and game stuff. We also did a lot for
Speaker 1: the game this year. We're doing the movies right now.
Speaker 1: We're gonna start that up soon. Pirates care being retros
Speaker 1: starting soon. We're doing the Punisher one we got if
Speaker 1: you like Star Wars stuff for the Phase three and up,
Speaker 1: we got the Star Wars, Rise of Skywalker commentary track
Speaker 1: dropping as well today on Patreon, So lots of good stuff.
Speaker 1: We very much would appreciate the support there because that's
Speaker 1: how we create sidequests and TRST told you and Weekly
Speaker 1: Geek in the bonus reviews, that's how we can do
Speaker 1: more than one to two episodes, and we appreciate all
Speaker 1: of you. So, and we think you get a pretty
Speaker 1: good bang for your buck. We understand your spending your
Speaker 1: own money, you know, skip a coffee, skip a McDonald's
Speaker 1: for a month, you're getting one hundred No, no, no, I'll
Speaker 1: just scrap that. You're in thousands of hours of contents
Speaker 1: now like you're getting like there's tons of stuffup there.
Speaker 1: There's exclusive stuff from like seven years ago, so check
Speaker 1: all that out. And then yeah, we do if not
Speaker 1: just describe on the video feeds or audio feeds all
Speaker 1: that stuff. So we would appreciate the support. So, Taya,
Speaker 1: I agree that if anything takes precedent, if they had
Speaker 1: to choose, it's the sequel, because I do think kind
Speaker 1: of what you alluded on is because they're damned if
Speaker 1: they're due damned with their don't with the favor of
Speaker 1: the old Republic. They could make that their own image,
Speaker 1: right of like, well, this is our Old Republic, the
Speaker 1: same way it's like this is our thron Right. There's
Speaker 1: similarities to thron Right, but it's not the exact same
Speaker 1: story as the Air the Empire and all that stuff. Right.
Speaker 1: Where with Knights Old Republic, either there's two doors. Either
Speaker 1: you completely make it, well I guess there's two, there
Speaker 1: is three doors. You completely make it a Knights of
Speaker 1: Old Republic game that is a full and remake like
Speaker 1: the old game whole story, and you say, hey, this
Speaker 1: is canon, even though we for heard rumblings from about
Speaker 1: Kathleen Canyon following the other people. Oh, I don't know
Speaker 1: how I feel with that Night's Republic cannon, right, Or
Speaker 1: you make a Nights Over Republic remake and you make
Speaker 1: it cannon and change a bunch of stuff, and then
Speaker 1: people won't be happy, right because like well you're you
Speaker 1: know bass Let does and act like this or this
Speaker 1: didn't happen here, or oh, this can't happen because like,
Speaker 1: like I guarantee you a Night of w Ren pops
Speaker 1: up in the Old Republic. People are gonna have a
Speaker 1: BF you know, they're not gonna be happy about it.
Speaker 1: So to me, the third option, which I would be
Speaker 1: completely fine with, I think you would be too. I'd
Speaker 1: love it they came and said, hey, we're gonna remake
Speaker 1: the game, uh, the exact same way, not you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, but story wise, the exact same way.
Speaker 1: Maybe some changes here, but because of the way Star
Speaker 1: Wars is doing can now, this is gonna be a
Speaker 1: Legends game. I'd be completely fine with that. If they
Speaker 1: just said, yeah, this is something that we don't know.
Speaker 1: We don't want to hurt any Old Republic or any
Speaker 1: future stuff that could happen, so in order to make
Speaker 1: this the best remake possible, we just do it legends.
Speaker 1: Would you be fine with that? I'll see Marvels dabbled
Speaker 1: in multiverse stuff. I'd be fine they created a Legends
Speaker 1: like they said, Hey, all those books, com books that
Speaker 1: happened before we bought them, they're legends. Now they still exist,
Speaker 1: you can buy them. They're re releasing them all the time,
Speaker 1: but they're not in our canon. Would you be fine
Speaker 1: if they said, the Old Republic remake is legend, there's
Speaker 1: nothing to do with current can That's what their Old
Speaker 1: Republic's gonna do. But this is we just want to
Speaker 1: give people the game that they grew up with it
Speaker 1: with a new code of paint.
Speaker 2: I mean, I never really they say legends. But when
Speaker 2: you look at all the Star Wars books, and there
Speaker 2: was a there is a lot of Star Wars books.
Speaker 2: You got like the Jedi Apprentice series, and you got
Speaker 2: so many different novels that are post episode six and
Speaker 2: what like Trusa Bricura, which is right after episode six,
Speaker 2: and Luke dealing with like being electrocuted by Palpatine the
Speaker 2: followu of that, and like all these different stories that
Speaker 2: they dive into. I don't like, I always just kind
Speaker 2: of consider them to exist, but I didn't ever see
Speaker 2: them as being direct stories like this is exactly what
Speaker 2: happened in the canon of the movies. They were just there,
Speaker 2: Like I never looked at it as Hanack and Chewie
Speaker 2: actually fighting zombies on a start a story, which Spider
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm I'm kind of that way now, even
Speaker 1: after Disney, where I just kind of go, as much
Speaker 1: as I don't love everything anything that it's not Luca's
Speaker 1: kind of legends, you know, it's all kind of fan fic,
Speaker 1: Like it didn't come from him, right, So it's like
Speaker 1: it's people just making stuff up. So you that's where
Speaker 1: I wouldn't really insult you if they said, hey, this
Speaker 1: isn't like Disney can and this is gonna be something
Speaker 1: off to the side.
Speaker 2: No. I mean, if if you're telling me that this
Speaker 2: is this is a game and then it has a
Speaker 2: direct impact on the main story and they're just kind
Speaker 2: of connecting it in that way, and then sure, I'll
Speaker 2: kind of look at a little bit more as I can.
Speaker 2: But if it's just like, okay, like it's going to
Speaker 2: be this is a story that exists outside of the movies,
Speaker 2: then it just kind of automatically has that legends esthetic
Speaker 2: all emanating off of it, right, which.
Speaker 1: I think is kind of cool. It's like we talked
Speaker 1: about with like, you know, the what if thing didn't
Speaker 1: exactly it worked to extent, but I think people have
Speaker 1: been wanting that for a while. Look at God, what
Speaker 1: is visions? Just do that even if it's like people
Speaker 1: love visions, you know, like and I'm a terrible person,
Speaker 1: I still have your watch season three? No right now, no, no,
Speaker 1: I have to go, And I loved Visions. I know
Speaker 1: there's no reason why I did not watch visions because
Speaker 1: of quality, just so much amount of time. So I
Speaker 1: will get there because there is season four, so I
Speaker 1: think we'll get caught and again then but I think
Speaker 1: people are fine and then fail Oll Republic. I'm just
Speaker 1: a tad less excited because I need more. It's tough
Speaker 1: because I could easily see that being the top of
Speaker 1: my list. It would never be the bottom. But I
Speaker 1: just I'm like you with zero company, I need a
Speaker 1: little bit more. What's the stories, what's the characters. It'd
Speaker 1: be different if they didn't announce the remake. Right, Let's
Speaker 1: say there's an announcement of Knights over Pulk remake. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're going to fail over Republic. Then I'd be completely excited.
Speaker 1: But it's it's tough because now Republic's like the old love,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like the old flame, and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: sure fail. That's it's the devil you know, versus devil
Speaker 1: you don't know. Maybe fail Old Republic all round story
Speaker 1: character gameplay could be better, But I know what I
Speaker 1: had when Night's Old Republic back in the day, right,
Speaker 1: So it's tough for me not to pick that. So
Speaker 1: my scenario tip because I know You said all about
Speaker 1: being iffy about Knight's O Republic and whatnot, and I
Speaker 1: agree with you, there's not much stock there. But what
Speaker 1: I'm hoping is because the game industry, because they've had
Speaker 1: such a big boom. You look at Resident Evil, what
Speaker 1: do they do the past years? Remake new game, remake
Speaker 1: new game. And I hope that someone around at Disney, anybody,
Speaker 1: someone at Mark just said like, hey, look what they're
Speaker 1: doing over there, and that because at first that, oh,
Speaker 1: is that gonna hurt it having a sequel announced? There
Speaker 1: is a chance that they announced a sequel, and that's
Speaker 1: just because Old the Republic's gonna die at some point, right,
Speaker 1: and maybe we're not gonna get lucky, But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: try and be faithful and tell myself that, oh, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a hopefully perfect one two punch where we
Speaker 1: get Nights or Republic the remake. Everyone falls in love
Speaker 1: with that, just like they did with Resident Evil four.
Speaker 1: And then look a couple of years later, Leon Kennedy
Speaker 1: start in Resident Evil's biggest game in Resident Evil nine,
Speaker 1: the fastest selling game on top selling games a year.
Speaker 1: So that's my hope is that Knight's or Republic, get
Speaker 1: those people back love and then FATA Old Republic, even
Speaker 1: if it's not even a direct sequel, just in that era,
Speaker 1: right of continuing on that lineage, So we'll see. And
Speaker 1: then one the last one we have here, Taylor is
Speaker 1: Star Wars Eclipse. Well, that's been announced for a while,
Speaker 1: an ambitious narrative driven action game set in the High
Speaker 1: Republic era by Quantum Dream that's made by the people
Speaker 1: that did Heavy Rain and Detroit Become Human. So it's
Speaker 1: a very character based choice game. Again you think you
Speaker 1: like permadapf, this is the thing where you're gonna begin
Speaker 1: of a situation, you make a choice, and that's gonna
Speaker 1: go to a bunch of different webs and everything. I've
Speaker 1: never actually finished Heavy Rain. I have to them in
Speaker 1: the middle playing play flu. I enjoyed the concept and
Speaker 1: enjoyed a lot of things about Detroit Become Human. I
Speaker 1: think me and Dylan on the review both for a
Speaker 1: little not mixed, but like I think it's one of
Speaker 1: those cases what my excitement didn't match the level of
Speaker 1: call of the game. But I do think that those
Speaker 1: two games could show man again. I would love a
Speaker 1: Star Wars game that where choices matter and this one
Speaker 1: that's very heavy on cinematics. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: I feel like this one's almost worse because with Old
Speaker 1: Republic in general, at least I know there's a built
Speaker 1: in fan base, right, so I could always see some
Speaker 1: exect being like get that game out, Like, even if
Speaker 1: it's problem, we want that money, get that game out.
Speaker 1: With Eclipse, I think there is I think it's similar
Speaker 1: to the Tactics game, where it is there's a certain
Speaker 1: smaller category you have with that, right, not everybody wants
Speaker 1: that type of game where it's very little game play
Speaker 1: and you're just picking a B or C. Right they
Speaker 1: want and because I think the most appealing for the
Speaker 1: GA is like the Jedi games, right, because he makes
Speaker 1: some choice here there really, but it's about the RPG
Speaker 1: and customing your lightsaber and a story. This is nothing
Speaker 1: butt story and I love that, and I love choosing
Speaker 1: your own adventure scenarios. So I'm still very hopeful this
Speaker 1: comes out. But I feel if you on it, because
Speaker 1: again it's been a while next to you had some problems,
Speaker 1: but how are you feeling about Eclipse? Here, Before we
Speaker 1: rank up what we'd want the most, we've gone over
Speaker 1: all the games that are announced for I didn't throw
Speaker 1: in any app games, So sorry, Dylan if you're hope
Speaker 1: for me to talk about Star Wars Tycoon.
Speaker 2: So I think that Eclipse is going to be, whenever
Speaker 2: it comes out, a fantastic game. I watched that cinematic
Speaker 2: and I just get goosebumps. I think it's just it's
Speaker 2: it's so juicy, it's so awesome. I love it, and
Speaker 2: there's just so much going on that just feels so
Speaker 2: new to Star Wars. Feels like a little bit of
Speaker 2: Star Wars Fall in Order actually when they pulled in
Speaker 2: some of the other kind of forced sensitive beings in there.
Speaker 2: But just seeing this like other military factions in the
Speaker 2: Star Wars universe, Like when you watch these movies, think, okay,
Speaker 2: you got the Trade Federation, which is the Droids, and
Speaker 2: then you've got the Republic Forces and whatnot, like two
Speaker 2: large factions, but you don't get to see that. Other
Speaker 2: planets obviously have their own armies. And that's one of
Speaker 2: the things I loved about the Clone Wars is you
Speaker 2: get to see it. You get to the Barn Arc
Speaker 2: where you get to see the Unbarns and they got
Speaker 2: their own military, their own tech and whatnot. They're fighting
Speaker 2: the Clones and they're separatist supporters. It's like, Okay, there's
Speaker 2: a lot of cool shit out there. So now when
Speaker 2: you're dealing with something like Eclipse and you've got these
Speaker 2: crazy other looking fleets and soldiers like a is one
Speaker 2: moment looks like hell divers ask with like the mechs
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, and it's like, damn, this is sweet.
Speaker 2: And they're fighting up against Trade Federation cruisers like this
Speaker 2: is so cool. And I think Star Wars needs a
Speaker 2: lot more of that because Star Wars has like it's
Speaker 2: bold and it's risky, but Star Wars has a very
Speaker 2: straight standard identity. Everyone knows the startus story and a
Speaker 2: death Star that's those are signature Star Wars ship. Even
Speaker 2: some of the prequel stuff is very much becoming familiarized too.
Speaker 2: When you see that sleek, shiny silver ship, you know, okay,
Speaker 2: that's in the boot ship or whatever. So there's different
Speaker 2: things that you're very familiar with, and so he Clips
Speaker 2: we just kind of breaking that mold and just kind
Speaker 2: of introducing new things, and I think Star Wars needs
Speaker 2: to do a little bit more of that. Either way, though,
Speaker 2: I think it's that's a that's a game that's got
Speaker 2: me super excited.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully we can get excited by a release date
Speaker 1: in the next year. So nice any more updates. But
Speaker 1: because you just want to, I'll give you my So
Speaker 1: we're gonna say, I don't want any of real life
Speaker 1: thoughts in your head. I just want fully if all
Speaker 1: these games, let's say come out one hundred percent, right,
Speaker 1: let's say all come out, I want your ranking of
Speaker 1: what you're most excited for. So I'm gonna go as
Speaker 1: much as I I am very excited for the game,
Speaker 1: it's still on a smaller scale scale. So last won
Speaker 1: Old Galactic Racer. I'm gonna go Jedi three, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go Eclipse, I'm gonna go Zero Company, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: Fat Old Republic, and Night's Old Republic. I'm a Old
Speaker 1: Republic guy. Other than the Ogi trilogy, I love that era.
Speaker 1: And again I'm hoping, and this is I'm hoping these
Speaker 1: games could be great again. Maybe a favor Old Republic
Speaker 1: comes out and it's the biggest disappointment all time. It's
Speaker 1: MASSI effect and drama and whatnot. But that's where I am.
Speaker 1: Galactic Racer Jedi three, zero Company or sorry, Eclipse zero Company,
Speaker 1: and then the Fate and Old Republic up there or
Speaker 1: sorry the Fate and then of the Night. So where
Speaker 1: are you for the ranking of these games?
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna go Zero Company is the bottom, Jedi
Speaker 2: three is above that, a Galactic Racer is above that,
Speaker 2: and then I'm gonna go, well, nice Old Republic. Uh,
Speaker 2: this is is close Eclipse and then Fate of the
Speaker 2: Old Republic. I think at number one. Wow.
Speaker 1: So if even if these games are think come out,
Speaker 1: you were putting Fade above Night.
Speaker 2: Eh, yeah, I mean I already know. I already know Night.
Speaker 2: I already know what I'm what I'm getting.
Speaker 1: Into there, But you don't know faith though, right, I
Speaker 1: don't know Fate.
Speaker 2: But it's the juicy concept of this is a this
Speaker 2: is a canonized, like true, well canonized part of the
Speaker 2: main kind of thing, introducing both the new Disney Star
Speaker 2: Wars and the classic stuff that we know.
Speaker 1: And if it blows up, you could get a whole
Speaker 1: new era there, right, that's right, yeah, okay, respectable, all right, Taylor,
Speaker 1: in the honor of Star Wars, we're gonna end it
Speaker 1: off here, give me your talk and if you have
Speaker 1: any honorable mentions, but give me your top five favorite
Speaker 1: Star Wars games of all time, whether it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if they're best, or you can tell me why they're there,
Speaker 1: but yeah, give me your top five, or you want
Speaker 1: me to go first. You're still plugging away.
Speaker 2: No no, no, you just remind me of one more
Speaker 2: honorable mention. So I'm gonna go. This is really tough,
Speaker 2: and I feel like my fifth slot. It could it
Speaker 2: could switch out, because both of them are great. They're
Speaker 2: both great. Lego Star Wars the game two this is
Speaker 2: the old school one. I remember, like chapters four to
Speaker 2: six you had on GameCube or Xbox. That was the beasnies.
Speaker 2: I remember when I was with my aunt and my
Speaker 2: mom with the mall, and my mom didn't want to
Speaker 2: buy me anything at TV games and I really want
Speaker 2: a video game, and so my aunt was just she
Speaker 2: showed my mom up. She goes in there, she buys
Speaker 2: me both Part one and two of Lego Star Wars.
Speaker 2: I was like, holy shit, this is great because the
Speaker 2: first one was I wanted to nudge that m because
Speaker 2: playing those three prequel movies in Lego and getting that
Speaker 2: roster of characters was a blast doing all everything and
Speaker 2: there was great and then but Part two, like it
Speaker 2: was even better because you could if you had progress
Speaker 2: in the first game, you could actually sink it, and
Speaker 2: all the characters you have in the first game you
Speaker 2: could bring into the second game, so you could play
Speaker 2: as prequel characters in Part two with episodes four to six,
Speaker 2: which is wonderful. And I had the character customization where
Speaker 2: you could make your own Jedi and Sith characters or
Speaker 2: like Lego figurines and just bring them into the That
Speaker 2: was just the Bee's knees. You leave out of the
Speaker 2: cantina and you're going around the cantina just like doing
Speaker 2: things like uh yeah, that was That was absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 2: So many good memories with that game. But number two
Speaker 2: I put that as my number five, my number four
Speaker 2: Star Wars Rogue Squadron three D. Specifically, this was a
Speaker 2: PC game. I remember my dad was talking about a
Speaker 2: Star Wars ship flying game, and so I remember when
Speaker 2: I was back at the source by Circuit City, I
Speaker 2: think it was. I remember seeing they had racks of
Speaker 2: PC games on there, and this is one that I
Speaker 2: to convinced my mom like, oh, let's get it, let's
Speaker 2: get it. So my dad said, you wanted to know
Speaker 2: he's da da da da. I was just bullshitting, but
Speaker 2: we've got it. And the computer couldn't run It was
Speaker 2: like an early Windows computer that couldn't run it. So
Speaker 2: eventually my dad got a bit of a better computer,
Speaker 2: like Windows two thousand or something like that. Then we
Speaker 2: could play it, and we could. We had a blast
Speaker 2: with it. It was all these different mission where you're
Speaker 2: playing with X wings, A wings, there were no B wings.
Speaker 2: There was Y wing missions and snow speeders and I
Speaker 2: remember just like you had to trip the walkers and
Speaker 2: it was just so like pixelated, and I think it's
Speaker 2: aged very well. I really liked the game, but it's
Speaker 2: flying wise, it was fantastic. You got like a whole map,
Speaker 2: You're flying over Karelia, you got best spin everything. You
Speaker 2: trying to get gold on all the missions. That was
Speaker 2: my jam, and I'm pretty sure you could fly the
Speaker 2: Millennium Falcon in it. And then they had something called
Speaker 2: a Vwing, which was like a new fighter. I've never
Speaker 2: seen anything else before. But then I remember unlocking a
Speaker 2: tie fighter which was tucked behind the Millennium Falcon as
Speaker 2: you moved through the hangar of the ship. It was
Speaker 2: like this was this was fucking exciting and like exhilarating.
Speaker 2: And then they had like Beggers Canyon. They had the
Speaker 2: Death Star Trench run, and then another mission as well
Speaker 2: that was like post episode six, which is a really
Speaker 2: cool thing to play. And then they had you could
Speaker 2: enter these cheat codes, and they had one where you
Speaker 2: put in called like Chicken and you could do the
Speaker 2: you could do the mission but in an atst, which
Speaker 2: was super fucking difficult, but it was just this is
Speaker 2: so crazy. This is you know, it's just so many
Speaker 2: good memories with that. My number three Star Wars Republic Commando.
Speaker 2: This game was fucking awesome. I remember playing it on
Speaker 2: Xbox with my friends and then my dad got it
Speaker 2: for PC and I remember playing it and beating it
Speaker 2: and just loving the being able to control your teammates.
Speaker 2: Oh it's so good.
Speaker 1: Just to win over zero Company when you come to
Speaker 1: this game.
Speaker 2: You know, because Republic Commando like the first person like
Speaker 2: a shooter, like squad based tackle where you're moving in
Speaker 2: like you're controlling your squad telling them like breach doors
Speaker 2: or whatever. And I remember going like geonosis was terrifying
Speaker 2: as the Commandos and then when you got that first
Speaker 2: Super Battle Droid that steps out and it's like, this
Speaker 2: fucker is hard to kill you. Yet now I'm switching.
Speaker 2: I know I'll get I'll eventually, I will do it
Speaker 2: because the game is, the game holds up. If people
Speaker 2: haven't played it, you need to play it, especially the
Speaker 2: four Element too. When you get out to I won't
Speaker 2: say anything then because there's some good ship. And this
Speaker 2: is the game that never got.
Speaker 1: A sequel, and it's on Switch right now, Taylor.
Speaker 2: I can't recommend it enough though, but like a game
Speaker 2: like the biggest cliffhanger in any Star Wars game, and
Speaker 2: the fact that we did not get a sequel is
Speaker 2: it kills me. But it's super cool. They threw these
Speaker 2: guys in the Clone Wars animated show, so you get
Speaker 2: to see them pop in there too, which is which
Speaker 2: is pretty sweet.
Speaker 1: But the sale just started. It's sixty five percent on
Speaker 1: Switch until May tenth.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll take seven or I'll take again. That's actually
Speaker 2: really good, but I think for you you should definitely
Speaker 2: just get an added into your rotation because it's it's
Speaker 2: so good. This story is fantastic.
Speaker 1: I've seen the cover for years and never dip my
Speaker 1: toes into it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's a good one. And then above that
Speaker 2: number two Stars Battlefront one, the original one back on Xbox.
Speaker 2: This game I went the extra mile with it when
Speaker 2: I eventually got it on piece and I remember my
Speaker 2: cousin would come over and my dad would be there
Speaker 2: and he had like three computers set up, and so
Speaker 2: we would just have land party and this was just
Speaker 2: a big go off game.
Speaker 1: I never owned these games, and I don't know what
Speaker 1: probably could. Again, I was never been clone trooper guy
Speaker 1: for you. I could see why, and I was always
Speaker 1: wanted to do the hero battles. But I remember just
Speaker 1: going to multiple friends over the years and playing that
Speaker 1: game for hours.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was great. And I remember like they
Speaker 2: had like some of the levels had like a Jedi
Speaker 2: and a Sith that would run around fighting each other
Speaker 2: like whatever, and you couldn't kill them and they would
Speaker 2: kill you instantly if they slashed at you. But for
Speaker 2: the most part, just it was the the experience is
Speaker 2: playing with your friends and whatnot, but just some of
Speaker 2: those levels, like you're doing, I think it was bestmin
Speaker 2: And it was just like the tunnel in the center
Speaker 2: of the map and it was just like a gridlock.
Speaker 2: There was like the command post that you're trying to get,
Speaker 2: or like the renv Ice caves too. That was another
Speaker 2: iconic thing. And the fact that this game, no, I
Speaker 2: guess it was the second one that got DLC, but
Speaker 2: I remember the first one on PC they had it.
Speaker 2: You could actually go to LucasArts website download a patch
Speaker 2: and for the game, and that patch included Jabba's Palace,
Speaker 2: which is super cool, so you could go in there.
Speaker 2: The rank Orp was in there to pick you up
Speaker 2: and it would eat you if you got too close
Speaker 2: to it, and the in the chamber there. It was, Yeah,
Speaker 2: so much good stuff in this game. Really really enjoyed it,
Speaker 2: and the multiplayer was just you know, it was so good,
Speaker 2: so good. And it was a really fun campaign too.
Speaker 2: I remember you get to I think you could play
Speaker 2: as the Gungans in there too. I think you could
Speaker 2: play as the Ewalks, so they had like different like
Speaker 2: experiences too that you got to indulge with. This campaign
Speaker 2: was was wonderful. And then my number one obviously, no
Speaker 2: question Star Wars Empire at War. I'm gonna say Forces
Speaker 2: of Corruption. Even though it was it was a standalone
Speaker 2: built off of that first game, but it was it's
Speaker 2: itss own thing.
Speaker 1: That is the remastered waiting.
Speaker 2: They haven't, but if you want to get it, like upscaled,
Speaker 2: there are a lot of dedicated what do you call it?
Speaker 1: On Steam? So if I can get that Steam machine,
Speaker 1: you know, well there you go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I've sunk so many hours back when I
Speaker 2: had the hard copy of it, and then even more
Speaker 2: on Steam. But there's a lot of people that create.
Speaker 2: It's not a plug in. What the fuck is it called?
Speaker 2: They create? Oh, but I know you're talking mods. That's it.
Speaker 2: That's exactly it. So they mod it. They add brand
Speaker 2: new ships, brand new stories, brand new everything. They've totally
Speaker 2: rebuilt the game with different mods. I have a throng
Speaker 2: one that I like, Thron's Revenge mod for it, which
Speaker 2: is like a whole throng thing going on. But there's
Speaker 2: so many different things they added, like Clone Wars ones
Speaker 2: in there and whatnot. So the game is fantastic. I
Speaker 2: was getting so hard in there. I remember back in
Speaker 2: the day I was in the clans, I was doing
Speaker 2: the multiplayer stuff with this and everything, like it was
Speaker 2: such a good damn experience in that game. It's just
Speaker 2: it's fantastic. The ground battles is one thing, but the
Speaker 2: space battles is where I was just just soaking it out.
Speaker 2: I was a sponge just thrown in the ocean and
Speaker 2: I just was I couldn't suck up enough. It was
Speaker 2: just so fantastic, And it's the one that I will
Speaker 2: always go back to. I will always play, and I
Speaker 2: will stand by that till the uh the end of
Speaker 2: my days that this game was just fan freaking tastic,
Speaker 2: especially because when you get that force of corruption one
Speaker 2: and you have the faction that are the Pirates and
Speaker 2: they can come in. They can just set up piracy
Speaker 2: on planets, not conquering plants. When you do like a
Speaker 2: galacta conquest and you got different you can set up
Speaker 2: your galaxy to have different amounts and quantities of planets,
Speaker 2: but I always did the big one fifty five planets.
Speaker 2: You got coarse on the middle all the planets in the
Speaker 2: other rim, and you got like sectors that are all
Speaker 2: owned by different factions rebels, your pirates, and your empire,
Speaker 2: and so the Empire, you get the Superstar store that
Speaker 2: you can actually control and have it like move around.
Speaker 2: When you go into a skirmish in a space battle
Speaker 2: and you see the planet below. You have the desk
Speaker 2: star that you can like target ships and blow up
Speaker 2: or just nuke the planet and destroy all their ground forces.
Speaker 2: You can take over different planets to get certain benefits
Speaker 2: and whatnot. And then the pirates, I mean, you get
Speaker 2: ran cores, you get all these different you get you
Speaker 2: get this guy a unit. He looks like the guy
Speaker 2: who was crying and returned to the Jedi when the
Speaker 2: rank word died, Like big, big, chubby guy with that.
Speaker 2: So you get him as a unit. And what he
Speaker 2: does is he's got a big sack that he holds
Speaker 2: around with ewoks and he pulls the e walks out
Speaker 2: and they have bombs on them, and he sends them
Speaker 2: to run at the enemy like it's fucking crazy. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna pull up a quick little love video of it
Speaker 2: if I can find it. But that's that's my number one.
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, No, that's been one because I obviously talk
Speaker 1: about before I grew up as a battle from Mile
Speaker 1: Earth kid, right, So I've always wanted to I was
Speaker 1: so mad I loved because what was the other one
Speaker 1: on PC? Was it Red versus Blue? Back in the
Speaker 1: day or Tank versus one.
Speaker 2: Of the Red versus Blue.
Speaker 1: That was the Halo, and then it's it's the Colors
Speaker 1: that Red. But we talked about it before where it's
Speaker 1: like they don't make them on console at all or
Speaker 1: anything anymore.
Speaker 2: But so here's the Ewok candler. Yeah, so he's he's
Speaker 2: pulling it out, kicks the walk out. There goes that
Speaker 2: you walk and then it's crazy, Oh no, my kids game.
Speaker 1: That's sad, poor you walk. But uh no, that's another one,
Speaker 1: and that one I all want to do more than
Speaker 1: Command as I've been waiting for it, and like I said,
Speaker 1: maybe if I get the Sea Machine one day it's there,
Speaker 1: then I definitely want to because I love uh those
Speaker 1: god not what are they arts games? Like I love
Speaker 1: that again, I want to. I want to actually crack
Speaker 1: open Lowder of the Rings this year and give it
Speaker 1: a good play. We picked it a bad time and
Speaker 1: think we were all just super tired. That's a slower
Speaker 1: pace game, sothing. We didn't know what to do when
Speaker 1: we were just tired. But no, that's definitely on the
Speaker 1: hit list again. I'm just games we grew up with differently,
Speaker 1: So okay, it was a good list sir, Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I only have two. I think, well mentions me one
Speaker 1: will come to me if I forgot. I try to think,
Speaker 1: but we talk about already. But yeah, just the Phantom
Speaker 1: Menace game. Uh, that was as a kid playing that
Speaker 1: and these are not good games. These are just pure
Speaker 1: They're okay, ye, there's some games of my lists are
Speaker 1: gonna be good games. But with these honorable mentions here
Speaker 1: and even one of my top five, it's come off
Speaker 1: more of a fun factor seeing Phantom Menace before it
Speaker 1: was a jaded fan as a kid, just you know,
Speaker 1: being in love Star Wars back and having them on
Speaker 1: the PlayStation one. That game was played multiple times over
Speaker 1: and over and over, just again and again again, and
Speaker 1: the Dark mallfight is actually kind of annoying at the end.
Speaker 1: It's actually kind of tough, but it's so good to
Speaker 1: at the point. If they remastered that game, I don't
Speaker 1: know if they have. I don't think they have, but
Speaker 1: I would maybe spend some huckles, some checkles and I'll
Speaker 1: play it. And then the other one. I've talked about
Speaker 1: this before, but a Star Wars Dark Forces is pretty
Speaker 1: much just like a Doom rip off. It was the
Speaker 1: first person like you're going around fast shooting people. I'd
Speaker 1: have Dooming. I played doing a little bit, but I
Speaker 1: didn't do my as kid. I had Star Wars Dark Forces,
Speaker 1: and I just see and I'm looking at it right
Speaker 1: now because they're on sale two right now for that
Speaker 1: one's bigger for twenty bucks, So I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 1: I'll dip my toes into some of these Star Wars
Speaker 1: ones even just to buy them on sale right now now,
Speaker 1: and because the original sale original price is fifty. So
Speaker 1: we'll see. But I remember tons of good memories with
Speaker 1: those who play as Oh god, what's his name? You
Speaker 1: play as a Kyle Qatar Kyle Yeah, yeah, And that's
Speaker 1: where it's just like learning all this stuff. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I I loved it. I had no idea as a
Speaker 1: kid that was just like a Doom ripoff. Just played
Speaker 1: it and stuff.
Speaker 2: So he's an Empire war he's one of the units.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, there you go. All right, So number five
Speaker 1: this is I think lots of these are just there
Speaker 1: for the sake of because they're fun. But number five,
Speaker 1: you didn't mention it. I was on your list, so
Speaker 1: I wonder if you've even played it. Uh Jangle fet
Speaker 1: Man did you Did you play that game.
Speaker 2: All in your No, I never played it, but I
Speaker 2: watched all the cut scenes. I exactly that what the
Speaker 2: game is.
Speaker 1: That's what's crazy again, the games that you played and
Speaker 1: I played. That's how many Star Wars games there were
Speaker 1: that we couldn't cover the base of them all. Djangle
Speaker 1: Vet and I was a big bounty hunter Boba Fett guy.
Speaker 1: Even Jangle you know he had an untimely end in
Speaker 1: the second one, and yeah, bothfet kind of sucks. Well,
Speaker 1: he sucked in the original triogy now he sucks even
Speaker 1: more so nowadays, but plays a bounty hunter. Any games
Speaker 1: that I could use a jet pack ass I loved man.
Speaker 1: You had a little bursts so you'd run out of time,
Speaker 1: but you got the jet pack, you get the guns.
Speaker 1: It's just this fun little side story before he goes
Speaker 1: and links up with Obi Wan and again meets his
Speaker 1: demise in episode two. It's just a cool and we
Speaker 1: told about us all the time. Sure, you give a story,
Speaker 1: but he's just a bad guy. He's not like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's the good story of Django fan him doing that.
Speaker 1: He's like, no, you're playing him as assassin and his
Speaker 1: goal is to you know, get these targets and there's
Speaker 1: a little mini story and played so long. I have
Speaker 1: bought this one on the PS four or five, so
Speaker 1: I do have it. I think when I booted it up,
Speaker 1: it was kind of that old games old It didn't
Speaker 1: like it wasn't it didn't feel like natural, wasn't a
Speaker 1: good it wasn't a good vibes. That's why a lot of
Speaker 1: us a couple of years ago, with that fake Mandalorian
Speaker 1: game trailer came out, were like really hyped. And that's
Speaker 1: where it's like, I know, Stars Outlaws kind of has
Speaker 1: a bit of that, but I need the full Mandalorian
Speaker 1: type of feel, right, So maybe one day they'll do that.
Speaker 1: I think we've kind of missed the boat, and I
Speaker 1: don't think the movie's gonna help with that. But Django
Speaker 1: Fed is just like a heart pick on there. I
Speaker 1: that's a game that I've spent many many hours playing
Speaker 1: again and again. Number four another game I'm surprised was
Speaker 1: not on your list or even mentioned, Force Unleashed. How
Speaker 1: did you not have.
Speaker 2: Force honorable mention? I forgot to do the honorable mention.
Speaker 1: Oh it's too late, brother, You know, like a Force
Speaker 1: Unleashed Again, that was because when you talk about Lego
Speaker 1: Star Wars, even Kotar, you never like Kotar had the
Speaker 1: turn based right, and Lego Star Wars was kiddy. I
Speaker 1: don't think there's any game up until Force and Leash
Speaker 1: that really nailed the feeling like a Jedi right everybody
Speaker 1: when the Jedi games like Survivor and Fall and Jedi whatever,
Speaker 1: when those were coming out, Force on Leash was the benchmark. Technically,
Speaker 1: I think the Jedi games are probably better than Force Unleashed,
Speaker 1: but that was to me the inspiration and that still
Speaker 1: was the idea. And again a game that you did
Speaker 1: turn good at the end, sure, but at times you
Speaker 1: felt like a big time Sith and having Sith powers.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: God, Scar Star Killer was such a fun character, very
Speaker 1: fun story of Darfa. You're having a secret event apprentice
Speaker 1: to take over and kill and per Palpatine like and
Speaker 1: it fit too. It was like a perfect like you
Speaker 1: never have to break Cannon could have been this little
Speaker 1: thing that happened. It was such a fun time in
Speaker 1: the series. Everyone remembers the iconic You've taking a spaceship
Speaker 1: cruiser down again, a game that when you unlocked the
Speaker 1: whole Uh, that Jedi, Sith assassin robe or whatever when
Speaker 1: he had the helmet, like, that's a game, just like
Speaker 1: the Phantom Man. As I played again and again and
Speaker 1: again as a kid, that's the game. Every time, I
Speaker 1: was like, man, if they could make a movie of this,
Speaker 1: so Force and least that to me was and Jedi
Speaker 1: is technically better. Yes that that that does nail, So
Speaker 1: I'll give that the crown now. But at that time
Speaker 1: it felt like moving like a Jedi. You got the
Speaker 1: Force powers. Yeah. Number three a little lower because I
Speaker 1: don't love as much and it is a little samesy,
Speaker 1: I get it. But still Knight's Old Republic two. Uh,
Speaker 1: it is a step down from the first one. But
Speaker 1: I just love that world. I love the system. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's still even if it's lacking from the first one,
Speaker 1: I still have good memories. Fucking Kira, fucking where is
Speaker 1: he got nihilis up here? My boy got him popping
Speaker 1: off what I explain? And you know what this guy too,
Speaker 1: I always hate I love this guy, but I always
Speaker 1: forget his damn name. What the hell's this guy again? Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I always was sidious, but yeah, I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: this man has burnt to a crisp and he's still alive.
Speaker 1: If Dark Nights of Republic two is such just like
Speaker 1: a Vibes type of game, and it's really especially with Kira,
Speaker 1: like it's it's a weird dark game. It's a weird
Speaker 1: game like there's a lot of stuff. So I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: I again, I didn't play as much as the first one,
Speaker 1: but I did do multiple playthroughs, and I always pretend
Speaker 1: my character was the same, and I guess for number two,
Speaker 1: we have the same as far as a game in
Speaker 1: our list, but it's not the same because you picked
Speaker 1: Lego Stars two specifically. I'm just doing the whole the saga,
Speaker 1: the one that had all six together. I played them
Speaker 1: both at different times, but having that replaying that, playing
Speaker 1: that again and again and out playing it in a
Speaker 1: similar fashion with kids, I know we gotta get the
Speaker 1: Skywalker saga to at some point play those newer ones.
Speaker 1: We did buy it, but no that Star Wars Lego man,
Speaker 1: I feel like if anybody, unless for some reason you
Speaker 1: didn't play it as a kid, I think anybody that
Speaker 1: played a Star Wars Lego game and was making a
Speaker 1: Star Wars top five game list, it's gonna be some
Speaker 1: game is gonna be in there, right, even for Lego, right,
Speaker 1: I think most people have if you make a Lego
Speaker 1: top fives, I feel like for a majority of people,
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. I'm gonna say, like seventy percent
Speaker 1: or higher, it's gonna be Star Wars. Legos going to
Speaker 1: be in there, right, because I think Dane said that
Speaker 1: before too, Like I think I think it's somewhere even
Speaker 1: in the top I don't even know if it's in
Speaker 1: the top ten. It might be, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: feel like I just know he talks highly of that
Speaker 1: game because I think we all have those moments of
Speaker 1: playing those a kid, and then it's just those were
Speaker 1: pure magic. Those are games that when I think back
Speaker 1: about to the magic of being a child and gaming
Speaker 1: it stars like I was definitely one of those. And
Speaker 1: I just want to complete Saga so and then number one,
Speaker 1: No Twisters, Surprise at All, Knights of Old Republic. I've
Speaker 1: spoken about the Spenny Time So my top ten game list. Again,
Speaker 1: that's again that made me fell in love with RPGs.
Speaker 1: That's a you know, not trying to be mean, but
Speaker 1: like an actual RPG of Again, that's why I like
Speaker 1: the para death having the choices matter. I hate at
Speaker 1: that point when games go over an RPG and then
Speaker 1: you make a couple of choices and really they don't matter,
Speaker 1: or really you just get to the same place with
Speaker 1: a few differences. That goes lower at that points. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just make a story game at that point telling what
Speaker 1: you want, right with all the different iterations of playing
Speaker 1: through a game, And I remember, I can't do you
Speaker 1: remember who the blue alien is with, like she's the
Speaker 1: ginger hair and kind of like a long ponytail.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: You can either you can kill her or she can
Speaker 1: join her squad. She can join the squad. But I
Speaker 1: remember at this point, if you don't know, it's a republic.
Speaker 1: When you start the game and you go to the
Speaker 1: menu screen, it shows you all the characters that could
Speaker 1: be on your team, but they're blanked out. So it's
Speaker 1: like a cool thing, like, oh, who's gonna be there?
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be And I know what's so cool is
Speaker 1: the first mission you get to remember the guy who
Speaker 1: wakes you up, like come on, you gotta go, and
Speaker 1: then he dies and the whole game his slaught is
Speaker 1: X like it's just it's blacked out. Again. So you're thinking, Oh,
Speaker 1: he's gonna come back. He never does, and even all
Speaker 1: these playthroughs like he's gonna come back now, So this
Speaker 1: whole menu screen of the character is always messed with you.
Speaker 1: So this girl is gonna hope they find her name.
Speaker 2: He's popping up chess throns. People like, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: that's not what I'm looking for.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nights over play, maybe just put play, just put
Speaker 1: team just put like team members, because she's gonna be
Speaker 1: on there because you can recruit. But that's the thing
Speaker 1: with the menu, they're all blanked out right. So I
Speaker 1: bring up and talk you know this woman, and you
Speaker 1: fight her, you kill her, you move on, collect her
Speaker 1: loote and go the second play through when I play
Speaker 1: this game again, and I can't. The first game is
Speaker 1: full good guy. This one is bad guy.
Speaker 2: But still you thinking Johanni, so you're thinking of.
Speaker 1: Do a screen share. I need to see her. I'll
Speaker 1: know there's second I see her because she's somebody that
Speaker 1: it was a Jedi. She turned the dark side and
Speaker 1: then she's light again because you can't or she can
Speaker 1: be light again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's Jahanni.
Speaker 1: And as let's see. Yeah, that's maybe full screen myself here, Yeah, Johanni, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the one. She that's a character that I killed
Speaker 1: in the first play through and the second play through,
Speaker 1: because you what happens is you're on a mission, a
Speaker 1: couple of light straight saber strikes, and then you get
Speaker 1: you walk back and then you talk right. And I
Speaker 1: killed the first round, the second round, second play through,
Speaker 1: she was with me and I did not. This is
Speaker 1: a game. This is an era where I'm not looking
Speaker 1: at guides, I'm not looking at it long and I
Speaker 1: have no idea right, we have no like, oh, talking
Speaker 1: to somebody, what did you do? So when I could
Speaker 1: talk to her and pick the right certain trees and
Speaker 1: everything like that, the right skills, the right diplomat answers,
Speaker 1: say the right thing to her, and she turned. Not
Speaker 1: only does she turn to the good side, she joins
Speaker 1: her team. Blew my mind as a kid. And that's
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. That's so crazy that a whole
Speaker 1: character that has story that you can talk to on
Speaker 1: a ship, that you can bring on missions, you can
Speaker 1: just kill her and she's done. She's not even on
Speaker 1: your mission at all. And that's where for me, and
Speaker 1: I know there's many games that do this. But that
Speaker 1: was my first and it stuck with me. And then
Speaker 1: I was glad that I grew up that people were like,
Speaker 1: oh that is great, and it was like a trend there.
Speaker 1: It wasn't just like a okay as a kid, I
Speaker 1: misremember this right because it felt like it was something special.
Speaker 1: I remember playing on the original Xbox I love that
Speaker 1: damn console. It came with it, and I don't know
Speaker 1: how many played through as I did, but Knight's Ould
Speaker 1: Republic is a very special game to me, and that's
Speaker 1: always going to be number one. It'd be very hard
Speaker 1: to replace it. I've been dying to replay it, but
Speaker 1: I've been waiting to see if a remake is gonna happen,
Speaker 1: So I'm hopefully gonna happen. If not, I want to
Speaker 1: replay it soon. But uh yeah no, that's uh, that's
Speaker 1: my list right there. So did you.
Speaker 2: Know with the Force and Leash that it had the
Speaker 2: multiplayer on the switch? Oh? Sorry, the we If you
Speaker 2: played the Wii version, it actually had like co op multiplayer.

Speaker 2: you killed Obi Wan. Remember you blast Obi Wan into
Speaker 2: the engines of the Millennium Falcon and then you have
Speaker 2: to face his ghost. And then you also got to
Speaker 2: fight lou Can. You turn Luke into your apprentice, and
Speaker 2: then you kill you kill Han Solo and Chewy on

Speaker 2: Uh wow, so yeah, again like.
Speaker 1: A deep roster.
Speaker 2: Though it's a deep roster.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that. I'm sure the mode didn't play too smooth,
Speaker 1: but that's actually tons of cool characters to pick from.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it wasn't smooth, but yeah, like the character
Speaker 2: roster is crazy, just like seeing Qui gone and and
