1
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to side Quest.

2
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,719
Speaker 2: This is our weekly.

3
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,359
Speaker 1: Video game show here. I give you percent. It's the

4
00:00:23,399 --> 00:00:26,120
game of the year episode. It's the best episode, maybe

5
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,760
not the best episode. It's just the final final ish

6
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,719
episode of the year that we always do here. It's

7
00:00:30,719 --> 00:00:32,679
gonna be a good time. My name is dyl Muss

8
00:00:32,679 --> 00:00:36,079
and I'm joined by the lackluster kirklyn Onknown. I feel

9
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,000
so bad that I just said that I wouldn't have

10
00:00:38,119 --> 00:00:40,320
ron Burg anymore. Was read right off the prompt.

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 3: That I set you up for it. That's fair. Now

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,119
I'm doing very good despite my name being lackluster. I'm

13
00:00:47,119 --> 00:00:50,359
feeling more than lackluster. I'm feeling good. It's the holidays,

14
00:00:50,799 --> 00:00:53,840
you know, time off is currently going heading up to

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,039
the hill tomorrow morning, so it's it's all thumbs up

16
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,119
really despite my name.

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,719
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, I think the name is really more

18
00:01:00,759 --> 00:01:03,479
so that for you, twenty twenty five as a year

19
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,799
of video games was maybe not one that you played

20
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:08,040
a ton of new stuff, and even the old stuff

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,120
you played a lot of maybe the same some of

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,200
the same things. So it maybe just wasn't like a

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,239
you know, monumental year for you. I guess is that

24
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:14,680
what it is.

25
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 3: I feel like I also didn't realize that until we're

26
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,400
like getting ready for this recording for this episode. It

27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,319
was like, yeah, this was great year. You know, looking back,

28
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,560
I feel like I played a lot of things, and

29
00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:25,000
then I had to like pull up like, you know,

30
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,680
games that came out in twenty twenty five, and just scanning,

31
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:33,120
I'm like, oh, yeah, I played this one scroll scroll scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll,

32
00:01:33,239 --> 00:01:35,760
like oh oh man, oh no. And then like even

33
00:01:35,799 --> 00:01:37,400
some games that I thought I played a lot that

34
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:39,159
came out this year, they actually didn't come out this year.

35
00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:41,400
So it's kind of okay, funny, yeah happens. But yeah,

36
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:45,719
a bit of a lackluster year for gaming overall for myself.

37
00:01:45,879 --> 00:01:48,359
But I mean we're kind of talking off cast. I'm

38
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,439
very much looking forward to next year. I feel like,

39
00:01:51,239 --> 00:01:54,120
you know, next year, at the time of this recording,

40
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,719
I think we're gonna be I don't think I'm gonna

41
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,920
be blackluster. I'm gonna be whatever, the opposite of lackluster.

42
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:00,879
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

43
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:01,359
Speaker 3: No.

44
00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:03,799
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're still here with me because Game of

45
00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:06,239
the Year has always been a funny thing here because

46
00:02:06,239 --> 00:02:08,800
I play a lot more games than you. Travis and

47
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,560
Taylor in a given year, and so we can't do

48
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,400
like a Golden Geek. So I would love to of gaming,

49
00:02:13,439 --> 00:02:14,560
but it just doesn't Maybe we can do.

50
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 4: It next year.

51
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,599
Speaker 1: I feel like next year everyone's gonna be playing a

52
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,080
lot of stuff, so maybe we can do something bigger

53
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,639
next year where it's everyone together. And then, so I'd

54
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,319
done like solo episodes a couple of times. I was

55
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:25,840
doing it with Dante for a couple years, which was

56
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,039
fun because he plays a lot of stuff, so we

57
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,199
had like categories and that was a good time as well.

58
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,479
And then last year we had a fun episode where

59
00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:33,680
you hadn't played as many games as me, but you

60
00:02:33,719 --> 00:02:36,000
still had enough for us to do like a nice

61
00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:38,520
back and forth and in a nice format. But I'm

62
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,479
still glad to have you here because I really liked

63
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,280
what we did last year. I thought it was really fun,

64
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:44,280
and even if you haven't played a ton of games

65
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,479
this year, I'm still I'd rather have someone by my side,

66
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,000
and you're you're the best, the best of the best

67
00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:52,479
in that in that particular way. So it's gonna be

68
00:02:52,479 --> 00:02:53,919
a fun episode. Game of the Year, of course, I

69
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,960
have my top ten list. We're also gonna be talking

70
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,879
about honorable mentions games we didn't play that we want to,

71
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,719
like the big hairs from this year that we didn't

72
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:05,319
get to at. Travis has given me his Game of

73
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,280
the Year that's gonna be embedded somewhere in this episode.

74
00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:09,719
I solid eighteen minutes of talking about his Game of

75
00:03:09,719 --> 00:03:11,680
the Year. So that's awesome. You can look forward to that,

76
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:14,560
Taylor TBD. If he doesn't get it to me tonight,

77
00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:17,120
then I'll probably put it in next week's episode, which

78
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,199
I think will just be like a laid back solo

79
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,120
episode from me, almost like a Game of the Year

80
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:23,000
epilogue and like looking forward to next year. I think

81
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,560
that's what it will be because everyone's taking time off

82
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:27,120
and I just want to do something easy and low

83
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:29,439
key for next week, So look forward to that as well.

84
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,039
Just two plugs here shout outs to here at the

85
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,879
very top. One is my game Potion Problem is on

86
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,240
sale right now for the Steam Winter Sale for I

87
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,599
think like two weeks or something like that, and it's

88
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:43,680
fifty percent off, which is the biggest sale that the

89
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:46,719
game has had, and as a developer, I'm gonna say

90
00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:48,080
that it might be the biggest sale of this game

91
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,159
where we'll ever have. You know, it's already pretty cheap,

92
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:52,280
so fifty percent is already like okay, this is like

93
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:54,159
four dollars. Come on, like, what on what.

94
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:54,759
Speaker 3: More do you want from me?

95
00:03:55,599 --> 00:03:57,039
Speaker 1: So yeah, check it out if you haven't picked up

96
00:03:57,039 --> 00:04:01,000
the game out, it's on Steam and uh yeah, even

97
00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:02,439
if you don't want to buy it right now, added

98
00:04:02,479 --> 00:04:04,120
to the wish lists. Maybe next time it's on say

99
00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:06,479
you'll want to pick it up, so you can do that.

100
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,439
And then also I didn't show this out, but I

101
00:04:08,479 --> 00:04:10,599
this was like a week or two now ago, but

102
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:13,560
I released a new YouTube video, another one of my weird,

103
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,960
kind of strange observational YouTube videos. I've been doing a

104
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,519
Skyrim cozy home centered video, which was fun. I liked it.

105
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,800
I think it's maybe not my finest video, but it

106
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,959
was a good one that I'm happy with, and I'm

107
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:29,000
already well into the next video. I'm really really enjoying

108
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,959
making these strange videos right now. It's like a nice

109
00:04:31,319 --> 00:04:33,279
nice thing to do. So you can go check out

110
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,759
those two things, and how about with that we get

111
00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:39,600
right into it. Game of the Year. I was, you know,

112
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:41,600
thinking a lot about for me, like the how to

113
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,839
describe what this year in gaming was for me, and

114
00:04:44,879 --> 00:04:47,199
I think, really it's like it's almost like I had

115
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,040
like a three act structure or something like the first

116
00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:52,079
chunk of the year, the first few months really like

117
00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:54,839
all the way up until like the summer, like tons

118
00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:57,360
of new releases, tons of things coming out. Game Pass

119
00:04:57,439 --> 00:04:59,680
wasn't seven thousand dollars a month, so I was subscribed

120
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,360
to that. I was playing a ton of new games.

121
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,600
There was big things that I was you know, looking

122
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,600
forward to for years, like Civilization seven of course, like

123
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:08,839
Clare Obscure and all these other big games came out

124
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,839
in there, so a lot of big, chunky games. A

125
00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:13,240
lot of cool indie games came out too, So I

126
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,240
was gaming a lot in that early part of the year.

127
00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:17,600
And then when the summer hit, you know, the Switch

128
00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:19,800
two came out, which it merely doesn't have like a

129
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,079
I guess by the end of the year now it

130
00:05:21,079 --> 00:05:23,680
has like a solid amount of new exclusive games for it.

131
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,240
But that's always it's funny. The Switch too was not

132
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,600
an extremely exciting thing, just because it was so iterative

133
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:31,639
on the last Switch, and also as I'm an old

134
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,040
man now, it's like, you know, the the hype nostalgia

135
00:05:34,079 --> 00:05:35,879
of getting a new console is not quite the same

136
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,120
as when I was a child, you know, so just

137
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,439
keeping those things into account, but it was still a

138
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,639
new console and that's always a fun, exciting time picking

139
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,959
up the new games for that. So playing a lot

140
00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:47,879
of that over the summer, and then after all that,

141
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:50,360
I was extremely burnt out. And I don't know if

142
00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:52,160
this happens for you, Kirkland, but every once in a while,

143
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,319
I'm like, do I like video games? Do I even

144
00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:58,279
like doing this? And you know the answer is yes,

145
00:05:58,319 --> 00:05:59,879
I do. And I always bounce back and then play

146
00:05:59,879 --> 00:06:01,959
it million things in a given year. But man, by

147
00:06:01,959 --> 00:06:05,759
the time, like uh October, mid October, November hit, which

148
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,480
is usually the time for me game of the year wise,

149
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:08,639
where I'm like, okay, I got a plow through a

150
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:10,279
bunch of things. Get ready the game of the year's

151
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,120
coming up. I want to play all this stuff. But

152
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,600
this year was like, no, I'm not doing it. I

153
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:15,439
even looked at my back loged account and I didn't

154
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,399
track a single game played in November. I think the

155
00:06:19,399 --> 00:06:23,199
only things I played were like recording footage for those

156
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,240
YouTube videos I was making. But I don't think I

157
00:06:25,319 --> 00:06:27,759
played really anything, and a lot of new stuff came

158
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,879
out October ten of new games come out. I played

159
00:06:29,879 --> 00:06:32,160
a couple of them, but really fizzled out. And then

160
00:06:32,399 --> 00:06:34,720
in December I picked up like Marvel Cosmic Invasion as

161
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,279
a new game, and i've you know, played a good

162
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:38,879
amount of that, but that's pretty short experience, so I

163
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,800
think I was just I was so burnt out of

164
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,879
playing so much stuff. A lot of really long games

165
00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:44,839
I played this year, I think, which is not typically

166
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,519
what I do, So maybe that was part of the

167
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,759
burnout as well, but I just needed a bit of

168
00:06:48,759 --> 00:06:50,439
a break, and so yeah, I didn't play a ton

169
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,959
of stuff in the end, I still have overall, I

170
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,759
have forty eight games new games played this year, seventeen

171
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,079
that I've marked as complete, which you know is always

172
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,439
ambiguous and depends on the game and the genre, but

173
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,480
still a pretty good number. I think that's like about

174
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,160
what I had last year, So I guess it was

175
00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:07,519
just spread out and played a lot of stuff in

176
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,399
the early months. But yeah, it's funny coming into the

177
00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:11,040
Game of the Year with being like a little cool

178
00:07:11,079 --> 00:07:13,079
on hundreds like gaming in general, just like haven't really

179
00:07:13,079 --> 00:07:16,639
played a ton super recently, but I also think that adds, like,

180
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,399
you know something, I think last year, on my Game

181
00:07:18,439 --> 00:07:21,000
of the Year list, I had mouthwashing pretty high, and

182
00:07:21,079 --> 00:07:23,319
I had played like days beforehand, like it was it

183
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,839
was coming in a hot I don't really have any

184
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:26,319
of that. I feel like I've had time to sit

185
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,720
and stew with almost everything on my list, with a

186
00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:32,360
couple exceptions, which I'll talk about. So yeah, and I

187
00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:33,759
think it's probably good that I took a bit of

188
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,079
a break because, as we've already alluded to, next year

189
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:39,360
is gonna be insane. The amount of stuff coming out

190
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,800
in just the first three months is crazy, and there's

191
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,399
still a ton of things that are dated for next

192
00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:45,399
year are going to be supposedly coming out next year

193
00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:49,120
that it's just gonna be ridiculous. So it's probably good

194
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,120
that I chilled out a little bit because these next

195
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,000
few months and next year are probably gonna be pretty insane.

196
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,040
So I think that's a nice in a nutshell, what

197
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:00,519
my year of gaming looked like. I don't know if

198
00:08:00,519 --> 00:08:03,240
you've if you overthink this stuff the way I do,

199
00:08:03,279 --> 00:08:04,279
But I don't know if there's a way that you

200
00:08:04,279 --> 00:08:05,839
would describe your year in gaming.

201
00:08:07,399 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't really know. How I would describe it.

202
00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:15,120
I definitely feel like it ebbed and flowed on like

203
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,360
like maybe new to me games that I was getting

204
00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:20,600
really into. Shane and I were playing quite a few

205
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,319
co op games together, which was really fun. Kind of

206
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,839
more the first half of the year. That's always fun

207
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:28,240
when you can do some some couch co op. I

208
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:31,600
feel like that's just like goes back to the foundation

209
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,919
and roots of just me being a gamer. Is you know,

210
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:36,399
you'd have the two remotes, whether it's the Sega console,

211
00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:39,279
the PS one, pretty much all those early consoles they

212
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,559
had the two remotes that weren't like one hundred dollars

213
00:08:41,639 --> 00:08:44,159
or remote, so everybody had the two remotes and you're

214
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:47,399
able to do some couch co op. But but yeah,

215
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,120
I like I already kind of said at the top

216
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,600
of the show, but just I was surprised at the

217
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,440
few new games that I really jumped onto this year,

218
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,360
and there was definitely ones that I was getting super

219
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,320
super hyped on, like the big one being like Ghosts

220
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,120
of Yotah. I was really excited for that game, and

221
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,519
then as we got close to it's like, oh, yeah,

222
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,279
I don't think this is realistic, but I alter you.

223
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: And Travis just dipped last minute on that for some reason.

224
00:09:12,159 --> 00:09:15,519
Speaker 3: But it's like, you know, it's like like thinking about

225
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,279
the potential time that I could set aside to just

226
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,200
jump into it, and I can't justify one hundred dollars game.

227
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,279
Speaker 1: For that timed out badly with your Japan trip for

228
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,320
sure on the release date.

229
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely so. Yeah. So to describe my year

230
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,960
of gaming, I a bit bit of a all over

231
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,720
the place. I feel like it was definitely in this

232
00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:41,600
last half of the year, I've been jumping into like

233
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,879
old not necessarily old old games, but just games that

234
00:09:44,919 --> 00:09:46,720
didn't come out this year that I got really really

235
00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:51,600
into again, you know. Recently, I also completely upgrade my computer,

236
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:53,600
and now that I have a little bit of time

237
00:09:53,639 --> 00:09:55,519
off over this break, I'm excited to like really jump

238
00:09:55,519 --> 00:09:58,679
into some titles that maybe I haven't been able to. So,

239
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,759
but yeah, it's almost like a like an in between

240
00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:05,799
year of like I feel like the year before, like

241
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,159
twenty twenty four, I was playing a lot more stuff

242
00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:11,519
and just just really into maybe more like recent things

243
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:13,879
that come out, and then looking forward to twenty twenty six,

244
00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:15,480
it's like, oh man, there's already like a handful of

245
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,200
day one that I know I'm going to be getting.

246
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:19,519
So yeah, it's a little bit of a calm before

247
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:21,799
the storm, I think, just just for gaming overall, but

248
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,879
still still still definitely some some good ones to mention.

249
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so let's start with that. Let's start with

250
00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:30,200
the games that we didn't play this year that we

251
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,200
kind of wanted to or just didn't get around to.

252
00:10:32,639 --> 00:10:35,159
And as you mentioned, Ghost of Votai, which, yeah, for me,

253
00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:39,080
the Ghost of Tushima was my number two ranked game

254
00:10:39,159 --> 00:10:41,480
back in twenty twenty. So I have to imagine if

255
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:43,879
I played the sequel, even if it, you know, is

256
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,039
kind of more of the same and doesn't surprise you

257
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,120
as much, I have to imagine that would have been

258
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,600
you know, crushing my top five or like top absolutely six,

259
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,159
seven level tier stuff. I still, like, really want to

260
00:10:56,159 --> 00:10:58,120
get a game four Legends. I hope that they have

261
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,120
just like a cheaper like you can just buy Legends

262
00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:03,559
for like thirty bucks or something, because I do really

263
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,879
want to play that. But I still I don't really

264
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,320
have the itch to play the base game itself. I

265
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,639
don't know what it is like. I will get to

266
00:11:10,639 --> 00:11:13,720
it someday when it's deep on sale or PS plus

267
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,399
catalog or something like that. But yeah, even even with

268
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,039
the with all that said, I still like I was

269
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,279
kind of finally leave that one on the shelf. And

270
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,080
as you mentioned, games so expensive now, I just got

271
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,559
to be a lot more selective with stuff. But yeah,

272
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:25,799
I think that was one for both of us that

273
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,120
would have been way up there had we had we

274
00:11:28,159 --> 00:11:29,080
actually got around to it.

275
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, especially with a lack of other games. It

276
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,120
would have been like when I played Stellar Play was

277
00:11:37,159 --> 00:11:38,919
last year, I think already, so so that would have

278
00:11:38,919 --> 00:11:40,320
been like my game of the year. But it's what

279
00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:42,399
is it competing up against? Like not a whole lot

280
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,799
college football, right, what's right out there too? So yeah,

281
00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:49,120
I definitely probably would have had that in my my

282
00:11:49,519 --> 00:11:52,799
number one looking at just what I have played this year.

283
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then a couple other ones Outer World two

284
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,840
came out, which, yeah, this is like peak me being

285
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:00,559
burnt out where it came out at the very end

286
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,879
of October, so I didn't get around to it. Everything

287
00:12:02,879 --> 00:12:06,080
I've heard is that it's just bigger and better, more

288
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,639
impressive than that first game, And I like that first

289
00:12:08,639 --> 00:12:10,639
game enough. I had it as number four on my

290
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,600
twenty nineteen list. I don't know if that would stand

291
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:16,240
like in hindsight necessarily, and I do really want to

292
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,519
play the game. I am excited for it, and I

293
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,639
think a lot of the stuff that's doing seems great.

294
00:12:19,759 --> 00:12:22,600
I just again burnt out Era did not want to

295
00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:24,600
pick that one up. And then the other one from

296
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,320
Obsidian because they just released a shit ton of games

297
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,919
this year is Grounded two, And this one's a bit

298
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,519
of a asterisk because it's in early access, but that

299
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,440
did come out this year, and that was my tide

300
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,600
for my Game of the Year in twenty twenty two, Grounded,

301
00:12:37,639 --> 00:12:40,639
So obviously I love that, But I just like the

302
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,600
first game came out in early access, and I played

303
00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:44,799
it more when it actually had its final release twenty

304
00:12:44,799 --> 00:12:46,639
twenty two is when it went one point zero, And

305
00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:48,759
so I'll probably have the same story with Grounded two

306
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,080
when that finally comes out. But yeah, a couple of

307
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,879
Obsitian ones that I'm sure I'll really enjoy and probably

308
00:12:53,879 --> 00:12:56,879
would have been in top tier caliber stuff that just yeah,

309
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:02,480
wasn't wasn't quite time for me on those two, Yeah, yeah, uh.

310
00:13:02,519 --> 00:13:04,840
And then I guess say I can be pretty quick

311
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,320
because I don't have a ton here Silent Hill f

312
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,320
is one that I'm I really really want to play

313
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,840
a man the amount of times I hovered over that

314
00:13:10,879 --> 00:13:13,879
by button on PlayStation and just didn't quite pull the trigger.

315
00:13:13,879 --> 00:13:16,120
But that game looks great, especially I'm playing a lot

316
00:13:16,159 --> 00:13:19,399
of horror games these days, multiplayer stuff. I'm sure Peak

317
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:20,799
would have been the top ten for me. It's funny

318
00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:22,960
I played a lot of Peak like games this year,

319
00:13:23,039 --> 00:13:25,519
but not actually Peak itself, even though it's like from

320
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,360
when everyone says, like the best of that kind of frame.

321
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,759
Speaker 3: I do want to try it. We should definitely. Now

322
00:13:29,799 --> 00:13:31,879
that I have a newer computer, I definitely want to

323
00:13:31,919 --> 00:13:32,320
jump in there.

324
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: I don't think you need a new for Peak, but hey,

325
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,240
if that's if that's the excuse, then that's great.

326
00:13:36,279 --> 00:13:38,799
Speaker 3: I can barely have two tabs open on my last computer. Okay,

327
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:40,799
it was maybe.

328
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: We could do that over the over the holidays then.

329
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,679
And the other one is is Arc Raiders, which I

330
00:13:44,759 --> 00:13:46,759
might like. I've been talking to a couple friends and

331
00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:48,120
I might buy it and play it like in the

332
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,480
next couple of weeks here, so just you know, not

333
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,519
early enough for me to include my game the year

334
00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:55,399
I've can I just like last year, I think I

335
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,320
revised my Game of the Year like a few months

336
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,360
in or something like that, so I can definitely do

337
00:13:59,399 --> 00:14:01,639
that with Arc just but those two games I'm sure

338
00:14:01,639 --> 00:14:04,600
I would have loved. And then a couple of smaller

339
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,519
indie ones that just come to mind. One is a

340
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,440
Skate Story, which is a really cool looking skateboarding game.

341
00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:12,440
It was a big year for skateboarding games, between Tony

342
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,720
Hawk coming back with another remake, Skate coming out but

343
00:14:15,919 --> 00:14:18,240
again in early access and being kind of a weird situation.

344
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,559
But yeah, Skate Story looks great and I've heard it's amazing,

345
00:14:20,879 --> 00:14:22,639
and that game just came out like a few days ago,

346
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,240
so it's still a little fresh. I haven't picked it

347
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,080
up yet. And then the other one I wanted to

348
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,200
showed out and I don't know, I don't know why

349
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,559
I'm shouting this out, but I feel the need to.

350
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,799
There's this game called Dead Static Drive Dead Static Drive

351
00:14:32,799 --> 00:14:35,200
that I've had on my wishless for years and like

352
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,679
everyone's in a while, like just no news or updates

353
00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:39,879
and never find anything on it, just a couple of

354
00:14:39,919 --> 00:14:41,759
trailers and the description, like, man, this game looks so

355
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,840
cool and always like everyone's I don't use Twitter, but

356
00:14:44,879 --> 00:14:46,919
everyone in while I just go on Twitter to see

357
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,960
if they've posted anything so I can get an update

358
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,759
on when this freaking game is coming out. And then

359
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,600
randomly I got an email and I was like, this

360
00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:54,360
game is out, and I was like, what these guys,

361
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,799
these guys even try to market this thing. And I

362
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,399
went on Steam. I was like, well, of course I'm

363
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,919
gonna buy this, and then the the reviews were like

364
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,639
really really bad, people like yeah, this game is kind

365
00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:04,240
of buggy and like not really what.

366
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 3: It's chopped up to be.

367
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,879
Speaker 1: So I was I was so disappointed that because that

368
00:15:06,879 --> 00:15:09,159
game looked so cool and so I'll probably play it

369
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,279
at some point, but it just seemed like it seemed

370
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,879
like it's maybe a bit too buggy right now at

371
00:15:12,919 --> 00:15:14,639
the very least. So maybe I'll come back and check

372
00:15:14,679 --> 00:15:16,679
that one out at some point in the future. But

373
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,600
I think those were the highlights for me. I'm sure

374
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,759
there's there's tons of other ones that it looked, looked great,

375
00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:23,120
look interesting, but I think ones that probably would have

376
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,960
made a dent on my top ten. That's kind of

377
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,679
what I kept it to here. So yeah, how about you,

378
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,879
what are the what are the kind of top on

379
00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:31,000
your hit list, here your your itinerary to here was

380
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,559
a Taylor Field term.

381
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 3: I'm glad you shout it out Skate Story, because I

382
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,840
just saw it's been added to the PlayStation catalog so

383
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,879
I don't have access to so yeah, I definitely wanted.

384
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,720
I saw somebody streaming it and I'm like, oh, I

385
00:15:44,759 --> 00:15:48,000
remember talking to you about this on this cast, and

386
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,519
just looks really unique and cool for a skateboarding game

387
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,919
like that, like the one year we had like the

388
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,200
Demon Tony Hawk. I I can't remember what that one

389
00:15:57,279 --> 00:16:01,840
was called, but uh, yeah, that's right. But just I

390
00:16:01,919 --> 00:16:04,039
like these little skins or variations that they have on

391
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,840
these these just familiar skateboarding games that we've seen in

392
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,720
the past. So definitely would want to shout out that

393
00:16:09,799 --> 00:16:13,320
one as well. Arc Raiders would definitely be another one.

394
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,919
I feel like this running joke where Taylor's always bringing

395
00:16:16,919 --> 00:16:18,759
this up and I always drop the from me and

396
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,879
girls the stop trying to make fetch happen the Gretchen

397
00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:26,399
Wieners mean. But yeah, the more gameplay I see of it, it

398
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,600
just looks so great. He had a really good little

399
00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:30,679
mini review that he did on Here with Us and

400
00:16:31,639 --> 00:16:34,519
funny enough coming off of Avatar Fire and Ash. There's

401
00:16:34,519 --> 00:16:37,960
many sequences, but there's just like really large scale warfare

402
00:16:38,039 --> 00:16:40,000
going on. I'm like, I just want to be a

403
00:16:40,039 --> 00:16:42,440
soldier shooting some rockets at a giant mech right now,

404
00:16:42,519 --> 00:16:46,399
So I definitely want to jump into there at some point.

405
00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:51,559
It just keeps like coming across my brain where I'm like, match,

406
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,519
I just drop the coin on this right now. But

407
00:16:53,919 --> 00:16:56,000
there's also just a handful of other things I'm kind

408
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,600
of prioritizing right now, but still definitely wanted to shout

409
00:16:58,639 --> 00:17:02,639
that out. I feel like the obvious one is Exhibition

410
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,599
thirty three, the the you know, raining game of the year.

411
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,359
I have not heard a single thing that's not just

412
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,680
this is the best game I've ever played from from

413
00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:13,920
people that that I've heard have played it, or yeah,

414
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,480
it just it looks amazing and I love everything that

415
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,319
I've heard about it. It just looks amazing, And I'm really

416
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,599
trying to like stay away from story stuff because I

417
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:22,240
I'm sure it's one of those you can only really

418
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,960
experience the one time, so trying to stay away from that,

419
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,960
which so far, so good. The other kind of sleeper

420
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,039
one that I definitely just assume I wasn't gonna be

421
00:17:33,079 --> 00:17:36,160
able to get for a very long time, but recently

422
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,799
just upgrade my computer. About Dylan, I really want to

423
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:44,079
give about a shot more gameplay. I see off it

424
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,079
just looks right up my alley. And you gave a

425
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,119
you know, a good little mini review on or a

426
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,559
full review actually on here, and it just seems like

427
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,400
right up my alley. It it feels like something similar,

428
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,160
whether it's in between of like an arcane title or

429
00:17:57,599 --> 00:17:59,400
stuff like that, but just with like the magic element.

430
00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:02,240
Just yeah, it just seems really cool. And I assumed

431
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,680
I never was gonna be able to play because I,

432
00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:06,079
you know, PlayStation owner. But now that I have a

433
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,319
better computer that could run it a lot smoother, definitely

434
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,319
want to give that one a shot. And believe it's

435
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,920
on like fifty percent off sale right now, and so

436
00:18:14,279 --> 00:18:16,160
I might bite that bullet and get in there. And

437
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,759
it's just a single player title, right or is there

438
00:18:18,839 --> 00:18:20,039
multiplayer elements to it? Yeah?

439
00:18:20,039 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: Single player single player?

440
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm totally with that.

441
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm gonna use this opportunity. I'm just

442
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,359
gonna jump right in my my number ten on my

443
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,119
list because that was that was avowed, so I'm doing

444
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,920
number ten before my honorable mentions, but we'll roll back

445
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,359
to that, which just seems like a good time to

446
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,079
throw it in here. I I really debated there's kind

447
00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:39,119
of two it's between about in one other game. I'll

448
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,319
mention a minute that we're like really close for that

449
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,039
number ten spot on my list, So About kind of

450
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,400
is barely squeaking in there, and it's a it's a

451
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,920
weird one where like on the podcast, you can very

452
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,920
much see my reaction to it in real time, because

453
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,359
I think I covered, like I think I talked about

454
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,319
it like four weeks straight, and I kind of progressively

455
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,079
cooled on it a bit as I got deeper into it,

456
00:18:59,519 --> 00:19:01,559
but only because I don't know, I guess the game

457
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,279
just doesn't really didn't feel like I had a ton

458
00:19:03,319 --> 00:19:06,400
of variety in those like light later sections areas of

459
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,519
the game. But the combat is so freaking good, like

460
00:19:10,519 --> 00:19:14,720
one of the best first person like fantasy combat systems

461
00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:17,880
I've ever played, which is so surprising for me because

462
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,799
that's like not really what I go to Obsidian Games for, right,

463
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,640
Like I think more about the world or the stories

464
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:29,079
and the consequences and the RPG elements, but and the

465
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,799
combat is always kind of like the lacking part of it,

466
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,880
Like it's like it's good enough, but it's not really

467
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,759
why you're playing these games. Yeah, but Avow totally changed that.

468
00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:41,319
The spells are so freaking cool. The animations are amazing

469
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,200
the way like they integrated spell books and like dual

470
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,759
wielding and like a very like an evolution of kind

471
00:19:46,759 --> 00:19:50,000
of like Skyrim's combat in that way. And like the

472
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,920
RPG systems and like leveling up your character, the skill

473
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,519
trees are really fun, even like upgrading gear and stuff

474
00:19:56,559 --> 00:19:59,079
like that. I really enjoyed all that kind of minutia

475
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,200
of like all the art systems, and I think for me,

476
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,799
like the story and the characters and a little bit

477
00:20:04,839 --> 00:20:06,880
of the world building were like a little bit underwhelming,

478
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,720
especially when I got to like the endgame or whatever.

479
00:20:09,759 --> 00:20:12,400
But man, that combat is just so fun, and I

480
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:13,839
feel like that is a game I'll just jump back

481
00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:15,799
into every once in a while just to try, and

482
00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:17,400
like every once in a while I respect and just

483
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,559
try like totally new builds and just around, like I

484
00:20:19,599 --> 00:20:22,200
want to try like a big double handed like Warhammer

485
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,799
Strategy now and like always having fun with that stuff

486
00:20:24,839 --> 00:20:27,599
and really good like feedback when you're hitting enemies, which

487
00:20:27,599 --> 00:20:29,880
is another thing of Pathesta games usually lack. So this

488
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
feeling like a Pathesta game, but just having like really

489
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,920
really fun combat is ultimately why I put it in

490
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,519
my number ten spot. So, yeah, crazier forb sitting, Grounded two,

491
00:20:39,039 --> 00:20:42,119
Outer World's two and Avowed Insane. But yeah, I'm pretty

492
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,160
happy with Avowed sitting at my number ten. It feels

493
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:45,880
just right for it.

494
00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, that's awesome. I'm glad we had a clean

495
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,319
segue into there. The one game that I came out

496
00:20:53,319 --> 00:20:55,960
this year might be sacrilegious that I hadn't mention it

497
00:20:56,519 --> 00:20:58,559
des straining too. It's kind of like the big Asterix

498
00:20:58,599 --> 00:21:00,839
on my list. Just because I haven't rolled credits on

499
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,559
Desk Training one. I'm like eighty percent of the way

500
00:21:02,559 --> 00:21:05,880
through that game, and I mean, this break might be

501
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,519
a really good time to just roll credits on that,

502
00:21:07,519 --> 00:21:09,119
because it's it's the type of game that I I

503
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,119
don't want to be limited all my time, Like I

504
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,359
don't want to be like, okay, I have an hour

505
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,039
to play, especially if I'm played in months, It's like God, like,

506
00:21:16,079 --> 00:21:17,759
what what are my orders? What am I doing here,

507
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,640
like like trying to get a la lay of the land,

508
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,920
so which might be a good eye like that idea. Yeah, yeah, absolutely,

509
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,880
And then Desk Training two it's it's not going anywhere.

510
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,759
And same thing with like claireb Skars Expedition thirty three.

511
00:21:31,799 --> 00:21:35,319
I haven't gotten spoilers or anything on that, so yeah,

512
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,119
I'm definitely going to be getting to it at some point,

513
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:37,720
but that is.

514
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: Not my number ryan, so I won't mention it now,

515
00:21:40,039 --> 00:21:41,319
Okay it damn.

516
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,759
Speaker 3: I was trying to hit all your all your in order,

517
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,079
any other ones for games that I haven't gotten to

518
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,519
for twenty twenty five, not so much. That's kind of it.

519
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,599
Of course, there's other titles that I would love to

520
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,839
get my hands on, but just to like actually make

521
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,880
a list of, like these are kind of my priorities.

522
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,799
That's kind of where I'm leaving it at right now.

523
00:22:07,079 --> 00:22:10,519
I mean, twenty twenty six that's multiple bangers, and we

524
00:22:10,559 --> 00:22:12,319
only have so much time, so I want to be

525
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,359
picky and choosy here with like my top top ones

526
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,200
that I do want to get to. But yeah, that's

527
00:22:16,319 --> 00:22:18,519
that's kind of it for now, got it?

528
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess then we can roll, right, into my

529
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,720
honorable mentions and I'll be pretty quick with these, So

530
00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:30,400
two quick hits for a couple like remake remastery things.

531
00:22:30,839 --> 00:22:33,599
The Oblivion remaster is really good. It's, you know, one

532
00:22:33,599 --> 00:22:34,920
of my favorite games of all time, and this is

533
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,319
like a great way to play it. But it's just

534
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,160
too similar to me, Like they did add a couple

535
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,680
of things, but you know, didn't really feel like it

536
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,680
was different enough to warrant put it in here as

537
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,279
like a new game. And also the plans for Zombies

538
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,880
replanned version that's on Switch. I really like that. I

539
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,519
think it runs really well, plays really well, adds new

540
00:22:52,559 --> 00:22:54,119
stuff and things like that, and I've played a bunch

541
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,640
of that, but again, not like there is new content

542
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,359
in there. But for me, it's kind of more the same.

543
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,319
The CEEU Stars deal See was honestly like probably top

544
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,279
ten quality worthy for me. It was so good. It's

545
00:23:05,319 --> 00:23:07,160
not super duper long, I guess you compared to the

546
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,119
main game, but really really fun time. But because it's DLC,

547
00:23:10,279 --> 00:23:13,920
I decided to leave it off the list. Monochrome Heights

548
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,759
is a really cool platformer that a good friend of

549
00:23:16,759 --> 00:23:19,759
mine made and released, and I really loved that game. Again,

550
00:23:19,799 --> 00:23:23,279
maybe top ten quality, but I just biased reasons chose

551
00:23:23,319 --> 00:23:27,240
not to put it on the list. Civilization seven. I

552
00:23:27,279 --> 00:23:30,720
really love what this game is doing. I've had a

553
00:23:30,759 --> 00:23:32,880
really good time with it. I still haven't really gone

554
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,480
back to it because it came out in like February,

555
00:23:34,519 --> 00:23:36,359
I think, and I've just kind of been waiting for

556
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,000
all the patches to come through and for it to

557
00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:40,400
be like complete, because, as I mentioned in our when

558
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,680
I talk to you about it feels like an early

559
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,480
access game, but even then it's like still really really good.

560
00:23:45,759 --> 00:23:48,039
But also that game crash like constantly and stuff. So

561
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,200
I definitely will come back to it, and I'm sure

562
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,160
it's a Civilization game. I'll put many many hours too

563
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,839
in the future, but just haven't come back to it yet.

564
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,880
Marvel Cosmic Invasion a recent one. I just talked about

565
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,039
it a couple weeks ago. Really really fun time. I'm

566
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,119
very excited to do that on next twenty four hour

567
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,160
stream or gvday or whenever we play that, because it's

568
00:24:06,279 --> 00:24:09,359
just like zero point five of an Ultimate Alliance game

569
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,559
in my opinion, Like it's pretty short, but the character,

570
00:24:11,599 --> 00:24:14,640
the move sets are great, the combo attacks are great, looks,

571
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,640
great fun, villains that are in the mix there, and

572
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,839
I'm still going through and getting like one hundred percent completion.

573
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,799
Just getting all the challenges for every mission is really

574
00:24:21,839 --> 00:24:26,759
really fun, So loving that game. Metal Garden is a

575
00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:29,079
weird indie that I talked about. I think with the

576
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,039
episode with Taylor. Maybe it's really small game, the scale

577
00:24:33,039 --> 00:24:35,920
of it, not too much going on there, combat very simple,

578
00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:39,599
but man, it just has such great atmosphere and I

579
00:24:39,599 --> 00:24:42,440
find that it's a game that I just keep thinking about.

580
00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:45,440
The ending in particular as well, like just leaves you

581
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,039
a lot to chew on and almost like I wanted more,

582
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,039
but also in a way it's like, you know, for

583
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,240
a cheap, short game that it was like, I can't

584
00:24:52,279 --> 00:24:54,839
really complain too much, but I really really enjoyed that game,

585
00:24:54,839 --> 00:24:57,680
and I really debated it putting at number ten. And

586
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,240
then the last honorable mention for me Kirkland is game

587
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,839
that came out in November that I just got two

588
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,640
days ago and have been playing, and that is Kirby

589
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:10,119
Air Riders, which is a freaking joy and it's you know,

590
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,839
it's obviously the same team as the Smash team, and

591
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,839
the music is very similar to Smash. The menu is

592
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,440
very similar. Obviously, it's Sackry, so it's very Hymn and

593
00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:20,079
his weird style of how he makes things. So it's

594
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,400
like I feel like a bias to it just because

595
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,160
I love Smash so much, But it is it's a weird,

596
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,079
crazy game, like comparing it to Mario Kart is like

597
00:25:28,079 --> 00:25:31,759
the other Switch like Launch Yer racing game. It's just

598
00:25:31,799 --> 00:25:36,480
such a weird game with such strange mechanics and just

599
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,880
layers on top of it in different modes and stuff.

600
00:25:39,079 --> 00:25:41,440
And I'm having a really good time with it. Based

601
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,640
on what I've played so far, I think it maybe

602
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,720
would crack like number nine or ten or something if

603
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,599
I came out earlier, or it did come older if

604
00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:50,799
I had played it earlier and had more time with it,

605
00:25:51,079 --> 00:25:53,160
But since it's kind of low enough, I'm fine. I

606
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,240
did think should I just slap it at number ten,

607
00:25:55,279 --> 00:25:57,400
but that would feel like a bit too a bit

608
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,680
too crazy, So I think A Vowed definitely deserves it

609
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,640
over over Kirby Air Riders. But I'm having a lot

610
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,160
of fun with that. I'll talk about that more in

611
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,920
depth on a future episode. Don't need to get into

612
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,640
my review of that game right now, just because it

613
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,759
is pretty fresh still, but shout outs to Kirby Air

614
00:26:08,839 --> 00:26:10,440
Rider's another one that I think will be a fun

615
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,960
that's going in the Gauntlet, and I can't wait to

616
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,079
see you guys playing that against each other. I think

617
00:26:15,079 --> 00:26:16,880
that'll be a really fun one. So shout outs to

618
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,440
you all those beautiful games that made my honorable mention list.

619
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's great. I'm excited to get my hands

620
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,480
on Kurby Air air Riders and just see how similar

621
00:26:25,519 --> 00:26:27,160
it is to that one I played way back on

622
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:33,160
the GameCube. Yeah that was just Kirby ad also just

623
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,440
Career there you go there.

624
00:26:37,279 --> 00:26:40,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they have a bunch of classic maps

625
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,720
in the game, like all all the ones from that game.

626
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,319
I don't know if it's all of them, but they

627
00:26:44,319 --> 00:26:45,680
have a bunch of them so that I'm sure that'll

628
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,000
be fun for you too to see, like the judged

629
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:49,599
up versions with all the new characters that you can

630
00:26:49,599 --> 00:26:50,880
because I think in the original game you can only

631
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,400
plays Kirby, right, but this one has like a ton

632
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,559
of playable characters. Yeah, different crazy machines that all behave

633
00:26:55,599 --> 00:26:59,960
super differently, So all that is very cool. Let's see

634
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,759
we are at the twenty seven minute mark. But we

635
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,680

all calm made culminated in my final decision here for

664
00:28:36,319 --> 00:28:38,519
what has achieved that position of Best game of The

665
00:28:38,599 --> 00:28:42,640
year in my. Opinion first on the, List Assassin's Creed.

666
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,640
SHADOWS i need to sink more time into this, game

667
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,640
but it has definitely proven to be a fantastic addition

668
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,759
to the, franchise and they've done a lot of things.

669
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,480
RIGHT i really Love, mirage AND i feel Like shadows

670
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,000
built upon the foundations of What mirage. Was mirage was

671
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,440
definitely a step in that Classic Assassin's creed direction narrative

672
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:07,480
wise and gameplay, wise especially after really going flamboyant and

673
00:29:07,599 --> 00:29:10,680
out there With. Valhalla that's one that just really was

674
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,359
not one of my favorite Particular Assassin's creed, Titles BUT

675
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,359
i Digress shadows is great and one THAT i would

676
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,240
recommend if you were on the fence About it is

677
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,599
awesome and it's a really really, cool cool. Experience so

678
00:29:23,359 --> 00:29:27,400
shout outs To ubisoft There battlefield. Six you, know they've

679
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,559
had some swing and. Misses twenty forty two did not

680
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:37,960
really have the greatest of home runs, there BUT i

681
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,680
think That battlefield six has definitely just swooped right in

682
00:29:41,799 --> 00:29:45,519
and captured That battlefield three. Vibe and back in the

683
00:29:45,599 --> 00:29:48,720
DAY whenmw three was dropping And battlefield three was dropping

684
00:29:48,759 --> 00:29:50,319
and it was, like oh my, God battlefield, three this

685
00:29:50,359 --> 00:29:52,319
is the great is the besnies and everyone just jumped

686
00:29:52,319 --> 00:29:55,599
from cod over to, that and it's the same dilemma.

687
00:29:55,640 --> 00:30:00,720
Here everyone just Dumped Black, ops the latest, addition no

688
00:30:00,839 --> 00:30:02,839
hype for that at, all and just went right over

689
00:30:02,839 --> 00:30:06,119
To battlefield, six And battlefield six, like that game is.

690
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,240
Awesome it's it's really. AWESOME i played just a little,

691
00:30:08,279 --> 00:30:10,920
bit played the beta a lot when that was, out

692
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,480
but it just played a little tiny bit of the base. Game,

693
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,599
yeah it's. Awesome it's freaking. Awesome they've done so much

694
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,799
good with that, game and it's just got so many

695
00:30:21,839 --> 00:30:25,160
fun situations and scenarios that nunfold in, there so it's

696
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,039
it is definitely a very very good. Time the other

697
00:30:28,039 --> 00:30:31,119
THING i want to shut out. Here other game Is Elder,

698
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:37,160
scrolls Not, skyrim not one of those re, releases but Particularly. Oblivion.

699
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,799
NOW i remember hearing at work there was just rumbles

700
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:43,599
about this and the game was going to be, dropped

701
00:30:43,599 --> 00:30:46,160
and then sure, enough next, day there it, is AND

702
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,079
i downloaded that And i'm still playing through. It i've

703
00:30:49,119 --> 00:30:51,440
put in a good few hours into. It and that

704
00:30:51,559 --> 00:30:52,960
was a game back in the day THAT i had

705
00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:56,200
ON pc AND i beat the main Storyline Shivering aisles

706
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,319
and all the other DLCs nights and nine that was

707
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,920
such a dang good. Experience really really Loved. Oblivion it

708
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,599
has a warm place in my. Heart so going through it, now,

709
00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:11,039
Well i've Played skyrim quite a few times over and over.

710
00:31:11,079 --> 00:31:14,519
Again playing This oblivion run has actually been like my

711
00:31:14,559 --> 00:31:19,079
first real, replaythrough and so just, knowing like, okay like

712
00:31:19,599 --> 00:31:21,920
HAVE i restarted a few characters over the, Times, yeah

713
00:31:22,039 --> 00:31:24,920
AND i, know like, okay first five ten, MINUTES i

714
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,799
know exactly Where i'm going When i'm doing just to mess,

715
00:31:26,839 --> 00:31:31,039
around BUT i haven't actually committed to that full immersive

716
00:31:31,079 --> 00:31:33,960
experience LIKE i ever did with my original playthrough WHERE

717
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,119
i went all out and so but you, know there's

718
00:31:36,119 --> 00:31:38,519
those things you got to, get the thin, gleam dark

719
00:31:38,559 --> 00:31:40,319
brother in Quest, lie and those are my go To

720
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,720
that's What i'm working. On and, yeah it doesn't disappoint

721
00:31:43,759 --> 00:31:46,759
that game is so. Good i'm mean shutting Down oblivion, gates, left,

722
00:31:46,839 --> 00:31:51,039
right and. Center but that's one That i'm consistently, playing

723
00:31:51,079 --> 00:31:53,960
and it's just it's so. Good it's so good scratching that.

724
00:31:54,079 --> 00:31:58,000
Edge and my last mention here AND i will shout

725
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,880
it is my car. World this game is a, delight

726
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,920
and there's certain things in here THAT i still can't

727
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,119
wrap my head around trying to do the wall. Driving

728
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,039
that is a that is a young man's. Game that's

729
00:32:10,079 --> 00:32:12,119
not something THAT i can comprehend, yet And i've been

730
00:32:12,119 --> 00:32:13,680
trying to work at, it.

731
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 3: But it is.

732
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,359
Speaker 2: Tricky it is. Tricky but other than, that it's just

733
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,559
fun to be driving around in the free roam and

734
00:32:18,799 --> 00:32:20,799
it's kind of do my own, pace my own, speed

735
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,920
and get the unlocks to the different skins and. Costumes

736
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,400
it's a lot of. Fun it's it's definitely a blast

737
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:31,400
to play with, friends but, finally The Heavy, Hitter The Headhunt,

738
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,039
Show The Big cheese my number one game of the,

739
00:32:35,119 --> 00:32:38,799
Year Art. Graders this is a complete surprise BECAUSE i

740
00:32:38,799 --> 00:32:41,400
know everyone's going to be, shouting, oh what about Hell divers,

741
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,240
Too and you know, WHAT i Hell divers to. That

742
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,279
that is also another all MENTIONED i just realized here last,

743
00:32:47,359 --> 00:32:50,039
Second BUT i wasn't necessarily thinking of it because it

744
00:32:50,079 --> 00:32:53,319
was a game that already was released before it just

745
00:32:53,359 --> 00:32:57,960
came out On, Xbox so, Yeah i'm NOT i wasn't

746
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,880
sure IF i really wanted to. INCLUDE i digress That

747
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,319
Art graders is my pick. THOUGH i feel like it

748
00:33:05,359 --> 00:33:08,440
takes certain aspects of cauld of de War, zone That

749
00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:11,680
oji War zone THAT i really really liked and addicted,

750
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,000
too and it's combined it with Hell. Divers AND i

751
00:33:15,799 --> 00:33:20,319
wish that there was a lot more a community going

752
00:33:20,319 --> 00:33:23,599
in into this, Game LIKE i hope that everyone gets

753
00:33:23,599 --> 00:33:25,759
to play it because it Is it's so much fun

754
00:33:25,799 --> 00:33:28,720
and it has its own great built up community in,

755
00:33:28,759 --> 00:33:31,839
itself AND i hope that more, people more video gamers out,

756
00:33:31,839 --> 00:33:34,200
there kind of come together and hop on because at

757
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,599
the end of the, day when you're just you're playing

758
00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:37,799
this game and you go up you're thirty minutes top.

759
00:33:37,839 --> 00:33:39,839
Side you got to just, loot get all the gear

760
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,319
that you, can then get out of. There it punishes

761
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,359
you just as hard as it rewards. You and you

762
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,559
know when it rewards, you it rewards you. Good but

763
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,640
when it punishes, you it. Hurts it really. Hurts for some,

764
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,480
context one of my sessions recently THAT i was doing.

765
00:33:57,319 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 3: What do We?

766
00:33:57,799 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 2: DO i picked up this gun called The, Hulk and

767
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,279
this thing's nice BECAUSE i can take down arcs really really.

768
00:34:04,359 --> 00:34:08,360
Quickly it's an expensive gun for, sure but it's nice

769
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,679
to pack as a. Secondary and So i'm out there

770
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,760
with my farroh which is like a one shot bolt

771
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:17,159
action rifle semi, automatic really really nice because you can

772
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,199
keep your own from a. Distance but then when you

773
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,719
get getting up close and, personal you pull out the hull,

774
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,039
cracker and just those bastions or those, leapers they don't

775
00:34:27,079 --> 00:34:29,559
stand a. Chance when you've got that right coverage and

776
00:34:29,599 --> 00:34:31,639
you got this. Rifle it's really really. Good so you're

777
00:34:31,679 --> 00:34:37,239
getting some good. Loot but WHILE i was getting good,

778
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,519
LOOT i went into this one area on the map

779
00:34:39,559 --> 00:34:40,920
AND i was losing these, lockers and all of a,

780
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,960
sudden just get gunned down from. Behind it's, like, oh

781
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,480
that's the way it, rolls and there goes all my

782
00:34:46,519 --> 00:34:48,639
good stuff THAT i collected and you just start from.

783
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 3: Zero oh my.

784
00:34:50,039 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 2: Gosh it's just such a. Pain but it just it

785
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,800
motivates you to just get back on the, horse get

786
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,480
back out there and keep grinding and keep doing what

787
00:34:58,519 --> 00:35:00,559
you can. Do AND i don't know what it. Is

788
00:35:00,599 --> 00:35:03,199
there's just something that's super fun and you start to get,

789
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,119
cocky you got to remember how to play calm and lay.

790
00:35:06,119 --> 00:35:08,519
LOW i JUST i can't recommend the game. Enough it

791
00:35:08,599 --> 00:35:11,159
is so much, fun even more fun with. Friends it's

792
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,559
an absolute, hoot and the devs take such good care

793
00:35:13,599 --> 00:35:16,559
of you as a. Player there's so many good rewards

794
00:35:16,559 --> 00:35:19,679
in this. Game, YEAH i JUST i think that it's

795
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,000
just it's a small. Team you, know they're trying to

796
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,360
do what they can, do just you, know a couple few,

797
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:29,000
hundred AND i think they're making huge drives with every. Update,

798
00:35:29,079 --> 00:35:31,320
well there are of course some bugs. There they're trying

799
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,000

one of your shout outs of the other. Year But

814
00:36:19,039 --> 00:36:21,320
i'm gonna start with Uh so Obviously avout was my number.

815
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,440
Ten jumping into number. Nine this is WHERE i Put

816
00:36:24,639 --> 00:36:29,840
Tony hawk's Pro skater three plus, four WHICH i always

817
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,960
is always tricky with remake remaster e. Stuff you, know

818
00:36:34,159 --> 00:36:36,239
is that? Eligible well the answers, yes because it's my,

819
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,519
LIST i can do WHATEVER i. Want BUT i always

820
00:36:39,639 --> 00:36:42,360
debate with. That and you Know Resident evil four remake

821
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,880
that ended up going on my, list a Game i'd

822
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,679
never played the original love so it feels like a

823
00:36:45,679 --> 00:36:47,719
bit of cheating in a. Way but that game was

824
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,760
so good that it made it really high on my,

825
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,519
list AND i felt like it was worthy of that

826
00:36:51,559 --> 00:36:54,320
spot even if it, was you, know based on a previous.

827
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,360
Game and this one's weird BECAUSE i have not Played

828
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,480
tony yok three or four, before so it's almost like

829
00:36:58,519 --> 00:37:00,679
two new games in. One but for, ME i think

830
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,360
WHERE i felt pretty justified and putting it on the

831
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,480
list is that one it is all new to. Me

832
00:37:05,679 --> 00:37:08,840
but also four was like completely. REWORKED a lot of

833
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,199
people have actually played the original say it's like reworked

834
00:37:11,199 --> 00:37:12,880
for the, worst like they took away like a story

835
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,880
mode and just made it like the classic arcade. Style

836
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,480
BUT i really like the classic artscade. Style so there's

837
00:37:17,559 --> 00:37:20,280
enough that's changed. There the maps have all like changed

838
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,039
pretty drastically in their visual style and like terms of.

839
00:37:23,039 --> 00:37:26,000
Stuff there's three completely brand new maps and some of

840
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,320
them are like my favorite in all The Tony hawk

841
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,559
Games i've ever, Played like really really good new maps in.

842
00:37:30,639 --> 00:37:34,280
There new new racers not racers, NOW i Got Kirby

843
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:38,079
air right on the, mine new, skaters you, know new

844
00:37:38,199 --> 00:37:40,639
new music in, there a bunch of new challenges that

845
00:37:40,679 --> 00:37:42,719
the original game didn't, have which like adds tons of

846
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,880
hour hours of gameplay going for these crazy challenges and

847
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,079
speed runs and things like. That so to me it

848
00:37:47,199 --> 00:37:50,960
was fresh and new enough to justify going on the,

849
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,480
List and, honestly in terms of my level of, enjoyment

850
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,239
it's it probably should be higher on my, list like

851
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,880
maybe maybe up to like six or, something but, again

852
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,599
because it is a remake Re, MASTER i kind of

853
00:37:59,599 --> 00:38:02,039
docked a points for, that and so, yeah it sits

854
00:38:02,039 --> 00:38:04,280
at number, nine which feels. Right but it's funny in

855
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,440
the last few days putting my list, together trying out

856
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,280
different versions of the, list see what looks, right what.

857
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,119
Doesn't any variation WHERE i didn't Have Tony hawka list

858
00:38:11,199 --> 00:38:14,360
felt wrong BECAUSE i played a lot of this. Game and,

859
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,159
yes it is a bit tricky BECAUSE i played this

860
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,000
and then like four Other Tony hawk games in like

861
00:38:18,039 --> 00:38:20,519
a month, span and so it's, like you, know AM

862
00:38:20,559 --> 00:38:22,199
i just thinking about that period of? Time BUT i

863
00:38:22,199 --> 00:38:24,760
THINK i can very easily remember like what maps are

864
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,360
from that, game my time with that game, Specifically and,

865
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,960
yeah so for, me that is number nine on the,

866
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,199
List and, YEAH i guess you've. There you, go there's

867
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:33,719
a twenty twenty five game you played you played a

868
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:34,440

completely forgot about this. One so that was my bad,

894
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,320
there but really really unique. GAME i love the visuals of,

895
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,960
it and just like what the game, was like the

896
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,159
gameplay loop and the like what the mechanics were was

897
00:39:43,199 --> 00:39:44,239
just really really fun to play.

898
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 2: Through.

899
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,639
Speaker 3: UH i played it a, lot obviously we did our,

900
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,519
episode or let me phraise. THAT i was playing it

901
00:39:50,559 --> 00:39:52,280
a lot leading up to our episode that we recorded,

902
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:53,639
together and then just took a little bit of a.

903
00:39:53,679 --> 00:39:55,400
HIATUS i feel LIKE i was just beating my head

904
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,039
against the wall AND i just kept kind of getting

905
00:39:57,079 --> 00:40:00,519
stuck at like the same progression point of my and

906
00:40:00,559 --> 00:40:03,079
then put it down for a little bit, While, yeah

907
00:40:03,079 --> 00:40:05,079
a little, while and then jump back. In and it

908
00:40:05,079 --> 00:40:06,920
took me like a little bit to just kind of

909
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,039
like refresh on like how to do it. Efficiently the

910
00:40:10,039 --> 00:40:12,599
more you play, it you kind of like like get

911
00:40:12,639 --> 00:40:14,800
permanent locks that make it a little bit easier to

912
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,800
take it a little bit further in. Runs but, NO

913
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,400
i was very. HAPPY i felt LIKE i got really

914
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,800
lucky with my like completion. Run that's probably how it

915
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,239
normally goes for many. People but, yeah it was very very.

916
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,679
SATISFYING i don't Think i'm really going to jump back

917
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,679
into it, like now THAT i have role, credits it's just, Like,

918
00:40:31,159 --> 00:40:33,800
OKAY i did, it you, know dust my hands off

919
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,159
and and and play it through it. There but really

920
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,840
really GLAD i did go back and just to say

921
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,320
THAT i was able to get through it BECAUSE i

922
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,800
had spent so much time of like really getting into

923
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,400
it and feeling LIKE i was just getting, LIKE i

924
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,039
don't know certain strategies together on what would allow me

925
00:40:48,039 --> 00:40:49,159
to go a little bit further than the. Run but

926
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,599
super super unique game and definitely one that's worthy of

927
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,920
an honorable. Mention it's not my top game of the.

928
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,320
Year you, know IF i had played maybe more than

929
00:40:56,639 --> 00:40:59,840
three twenty twenty five, GAMES i could have formulated like

930
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,960
a top five list at. Least But i'll just put

931
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,960
it as an honorable mention because it is definitely a

932
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,920
really cool game that's worthy of recognition and a shout. Out.

933
00:41:09,519 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. YEAH i feel like my top tens always have

934
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,880
one like really good puzzle game that usually tends up

935
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,320
being LIKE i don't know If i've ever had like

936
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:18,960
two big puzzle games in my top, ten BUT i

937
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,599
feel like there's always, one AND i can THINK i

938
00:41:21,639 --> 00:41:23,519
think that's one for this, year which is, funny like

939
00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:26,320
puzzle mixed with. ROGUELIKE i think that's one of the

940
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,440
THINGS i really liked about it is that is it

941
00:41:28,519 --> 00:41:30,559
is just a weird amalgam of, Genres like it feels

942
00:41:30,679 --> 00:41:34,119
very fresh and. NEW i really like the style of the,

943
00:41:34,159 --> 00:41:36,800
game like just one like the visual, style but also

944
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,800
just the unfurling of, it looking at the, map conferring

945
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:44,000
all that. Stuff just really fun game Of, man my

946
00:41:44,039 --> 00:41:46,440
notebooks were looking crazy and all the pictures in my,

947
00:41:46,559 --> 00:41:50,039
phone like the huge gallery of stuff and feeling crazy

948
00:41:50,039 --> 00:41:51,719
trying to piece things, together and a lot of that

949
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,639
didn't end up going anywhere or is related to something

950
00:41:54,679 --> 00:41:57,679
THAT i still haven't. Solved but similar to, you back

951
00:41:57,679 --> 00:42:00,679
WHEN i played the game for, me WHEN i rolled,

952
00:42:00,679 --> 00:42:03,599
CREDITS i did a couple more. Runs then THE rng

953
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,960
was kind OF i, guess more frustrated to deal. With

954
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,199
at that, POINT i was, like you know, What I'm

955
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,079
i'm pretty HAPPY i rolled. CREDITS i feel LIKE i

956
00:42:09,119 --> 00:42:11,239
saw maybe not EVERYTHING i did want to. See there's

957
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:12,920
definitely some more SECRETS i would like to find out,

958
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,400
about and some spoiler Things i've listened to, afterwards like,

959
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,920
whoa there's some crazy stuff that happens in this game

960
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,519
THAT i would have liked to, see BUT i just

961
00:42:19,519 --> 00:42:21,519
didn't want to beat my head against the wall WITH

962
00:42:21,679 --> 00:42:23,599
rng and kind of start to hate the. Game So

963
00:42:23,599 --> 00:42:26,280
i'm really happy with like just the perfect amount of

964
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,440
the game THAT i ended up. Playing and, yeah just

965
00:42:28,559 --> 00:42:32,039
really fun piecing things. Together and it starts out in

966
00:42:32,079 --> 00:42:34,400
like a very simple way of just putting those rooms

967
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,920
together see, combinations and then finding out, like, oh there's

968
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,639
all this stuff outside and finding different ways around, there

969
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,280
coming up with like meta shortcuts in a way by

970
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,920
like changing things in the environment was really really. Satisfying

971
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,519
and then some puzzles that LIKE i still, remember like,

972
00:42:47,559 --> 00:42:49,519
man WHEN i finally put those, together those were super.

973
00:42:49,519 --> 00:42:52,239
Fun or even just like the, parlor the little parlor

974
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,719
like riddles like the three box, ones like those are just.

975
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,840
FUN i just like like if that was like a

976
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,559
mini game in any, Game like, yeah would spend like

977
00:42:58,599 --> 00:43:01,400
hours doing, That like it's just a good ass. Time

978
00:43:01,519 --> 00:43:05,800
SO i really like the weird kind of weird roguelike

979
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,280
mixed with like board game kind of, Ethose like it's

980
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,559
just it's a, weird strange, game kind of creepy at times,

981
00:43:11,559 --> 00:43:14,719
Too and, yeah just ONE i really REALLY i had

982
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,960
a good time with and, YEAH i think even THOUGH

983
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,039
i didn't see it, ALL i saw enough to really

984
00:43:20,039 --> 00:43:21,360
love it and want to put it in my in

985
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:22,119
my top ten for the.

986
00:43:22,199 --> 00:43:25,159
Speaker 3: Year there is so much in there, Too LIKE i

987
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:29,199
remember watching like a YouTube like a YouTuber just going

988
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,920
through and like he was just interacting with things THAT

989
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,880
i didn't even know was a thing in that. Game i'm, like,

990
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,159
YEAH i don't THINK i really have the endurance to

991
00:43:37,159 --> 00:43:38,920
to get to this point of the game because there

992
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,760
is just so much to, it which is, sweet you,

993
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,719
know shouts out to them for all that end of the.

994
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,840
Game BUT i feel LIKE i also have a special

995
00:43:46,039 --> 00:43:48,440
place in my heart for games that have, like, okay

996
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,440
you have the base, mechanics the base of what you're.

997
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,719
DOING i got a couple examples That i'll shout, out

998
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,119
but then also just like the little like little like

999
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,440
side quest type mini games that are in there that

1000
00:44:00,599 --> 00:44:02,159
if those are really fun, TOO i feel like that

1001
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,880
just adds so much to a. Game see You. STARS

1002
00:44:05,159 --> 00:44:08,039
i wasn't the biggest fan of what was, it cross

1003
00:44:08,039 --> 00:44:11,239
Wheelsones wheels. THERE i don't know WHERE i got crossbones,

1004
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,320
fum but, uh CLEARLY i mean CLEARLY i didn't play.

1005
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,559
Speaker 1: It that New wheels content in THE dlc this year

1006
00:44:15,599 --> 00:44:17,280

1007
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:18,000
Wheels i'm a big.

1008
00:44:18,039 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 3: ONE i should give it another another. TRY i JUST

1009
00:44:20,559 --> 00:44:22,320
i tried a couple of, times got. Bopped i'm, like,

1010
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,599
No i'm not learning. This but another show would be

1011
00:44:24,599 --> 00:44:26,400
something Like, gwent you know from The, Witcher, LIKE i

1012
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,880
just spent so much time playing, that and it's just

1013
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,920
it's it's so great to have some some really sweet

1014
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,360
mini games within The bass.

1015
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,639
Speaker 1: Game, yeah, okay let me shout out one more and

1016
00:44:35,679 --> 00:44:39,079
then we'll go over your. List a reason being because

1017
00:44:39,079 --> 00:44:41,480
it's another. ROGUELIKE i have Ball pit here or ball

1018
00:44:41,679 --> 00:44:43,800
x pit or ball Cross, pit whatever you want to call. It,

1019
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,360
yeah so this one came out In, october and another

1020
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,679
one THAT i feel, LIKE I i GUESS i beat

1021
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,320
it multiple times technically in terms of beating like the

1022
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,000
final level with like a few different character combinations and,

1023
00:44:56,039 --> 00:44:58,480
stuff but not not a roguelick THAT i want to just.

1024
00:44:58,519 --> 00:45:00,480
Play and let's, SEE i mean they didn't that they're

1025
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,119
gonna make more content for, it so MAYBE i will

1026
00:45:02,159 --> 00:45:04,199
jump back into it at some. Point but another one

1027
00:45:04,199 --> 00:45:06,639
that LIKE i got got, in had a great, time

1028
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,639
and got. OUT i think it's a it's almost like

1029
00:45:09,679 --> 00:45:12,039
a nice it's like a meta commentary on like the

1030
00:45:12,079 --> 00:45:15,400
state of roguelikes and just roguelike as a, genre which

1031
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,519
is even kind of indicative with the title of the,

1032
00:45:17,519 --> 00:45:20,239
game it being like a cross between two, things AND

1033
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,239
i love how the game kind of hints at that

1034
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,320
and then like thematically and then like mechanically doubles down

1035
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,840
on a lot of those. Things THERE'S i don't think

1036
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:29,320
feel the need to spoil some of the things that

1037
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,360
happened in, there but just like the ways you eventually

1038
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:35,559
combined characters or combined different roguelike powers and ways that

1039
00:45:35,599 --> 00:45:40,519
were like extremely surprising and really really funny or just

1040
00:45:39,679 --> 00:45:43,480
uh just crazy over the, top completely. Unexpected and then

1041
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:47,159
there's like kind of a meta base building component THAT

1042
00:45:47,159 --> 00:45:48,920
i actually enjoyed as. WELL i thought that WAS i

1043
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,400
thought that was. Interesting and, YEAH i just it HAS

1044
00:45:52,159 --> 00:45:54,480
i has like the same art artist or whatever as

1045
00:45:54,519 --> 00:45:58,920
As Loop, hero WHICH i really like that. Esthetic so

1046
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,000
the game has like a really cool style to it as.

1047
00:46:01,039 --> 00:46:04,079
Well and, yeah, ONE i just really had a great

1048
00:46:04,079 --> 00:46:08,800
time with such a fun inherently just dopamine inducing kind

1049
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,119
of genre of like a brick breaking type of. Game

1050
00:46:11,519 --> 00:46:13,239
BUT i feel like there's a couple of the games

1051
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:14,639
THAT i have tried things like, this and this one

1052
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,639
was the one that really seemed to like take that

1053
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,800
and evolve it and like what in twenty twenty five

1054
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,480
what makes this? Engaging and this game like just went

1055
00:46:21,559 --> 00:46:23,599
all out in that. Way SO i had a great

1056
00:46:23,599 --> 00:46:27,760
time with this extremely weird Game. Bullpit so, yeah definitely

1057
00:46:28,159 --> 00:46:30,679
making it to my number seven on my, list Which

1058
00:46:30,679 --> 00:46:31,079
i'm happy.

1059
00:46:31,079 --> 00:46:34,679
Speaker 3: About one THAT i feel like the name doesn't do

1060
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:36,800
it to, justice you. KNOW i feel LIKE i hear

1061
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,039
the Name, Ballpit i'm, like, okay, yeah AND i know

1062
00:46:39,079 --> 00:46:40,840
what a ballpit. Is how great can this game really?

1063
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,079
Speaker 1: Be but it's kind of different than a ballpit that

1064
00:46:43,119 --> 00:46:44,519
you would think, of, right because you're thinking of like

1065
00:46:44,519 --> 00:46:45,880
a McDonald's, ballpit, Right.

1066
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Exactly and it's not really that kind of.

1067
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:49,679
Speaker 4: Ballpit no.

1068
00:46:50,639 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: INTERESTING i don't, Know maybe they need to do market

1069
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,320
and market that. Better, kirkland give me one of your

1070
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,440
three games of the other year.

1071
00:46:59,079 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 3: Picks, Yeah so HOW i want to do this IS

1072
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,039
I i got a couple THAT I i feel LIKE

1073
00:47:06,079 --> 00:47:08,719
i just really got into this year that maybe I've

1074
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:10,559
i've JUST i played in the, past Maybe i've even

1075
00:47:10,599 --> 00:47:12,079
talked about them on here in the, past BUT i

1076
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,840
just really got the into them again this. Year BUT

1077
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:16,599
i wanted to start, off which was shouting outs a

1078
00:47:16,599 --> 00:47:20,079
couple of games that came out a year or so

1079
00:47:20,159 --> 00:47:22,440
ago BUT i played for the first time this. Year

1080
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:24,559
the first one THAT i want to shout out Is,

1081
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,639
balatro WHICH i believe that was your game of The

1082
00:47:28,679 --> 00:47:33,119
year when it came, out or was it? Not of,

1083
00:47:33,119 --> 00:47:36,000
course how can you BEAT ufl? Fifty But balatro really

1084
00:47:36,039 --> 00:47:38,880
really amazing. Game that again another one that JUST i

1085
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,639
had only heard positive things from and of course you

1086
00:47:41,639 --> 00:47:42,920
told me all about it on the side quest that

1087
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,840
we did. Together BUT i had another friend that WAS

1088
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,360
i feel like he doesn't really like play a lot

1089
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,519
of like card games or things like, this so when

1090
00:47:49,519 --> 00:47:51,599
he told me about, IT i WAS i was extra put.

1091
00:47:51,599 --> 00:47:53,719
Off he's, like you want to know what is really

1092
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,199
the game of the? Year bellotro this, this And i'm, like,

1093
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,079
OKAY i know all about this, game and then ended

1094
00:47:58,119 --> 00:48:02,280
up picking it. UP i actually got it first on

1095
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,480
the phone because WHEN i got my new, PHONE i

1096
00:48:04,519 --> 00:48:06,920
had like Free Apple arcade for like a couple of

1097
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:08,719
months and it was on there and just such a

1098
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,880
great like phone game to have on. You of course

1099
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,679
it's Like, solitaire so that is naturally like a mobile

1100
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,440
game in and of. Itself but, yeah really really sweet.

1101
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,679
Game just dopamine hit when you get those multipliers going

1102
00:48:19,679 --> 00:48:22,039
off like. Crazy it's really fun just collecting the jokers and,

1103
00:48:22,039 --> 00:48:24,639
whatnot and just a, nice low, key laid back. Game

1104
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,280
so one THAT i finally was able to get into

1105
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,960
this year and had lots of lots of fun with,

1106
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,679
it and one THAT I i Imagine i'm gonna keep

1107
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,199
putting time into because it's just really really addicting and,

1108
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,559
yeah lots of lots of fun. There so shouts out To, BALATRO.

1109
00:48:39,519 --> 00:48:43,199
Speaker 1: I love that you paired that right after my Little roguelikes.

1110
00:48:43,199 --> 00:48:43,840
Spiel that's.

1111
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 3: Beautiful, yeah there you, go completely. Planned and then the

1112
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,840
other one was another one that came. OUT i don't

1113
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,199
know if it's last year or two years, ago but

1114
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,880
this is because online it's this twenty twenty, three BUT

1115
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,559
i believe it just came to a PlayStation last year or.

1116
00:49:00,599 --> 00:49:03,320
Not the The Shooter tactics.

1117
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,320
Speaker 1: GAME i just got AN ad for that On, discord

1118
00:49:05,519 --> 00:49:07,199
like a video. Quest oh, really.

1119
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,199
Speaker 3: SO i THINK i saw that also because sometimes On

1120
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,000
discord they have like little quests that you can unlock things.

1121
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,159
FOR i don't really, know Like i've never really engaged with,

1122
00:49:15,199 --> 00:49:17,440
them BUT i just saw it on, There so there you.

1123
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:21,199
Go the time is. Perfect but, no really sweet game

1124
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,559
that is just right up my. ALLEY i love these

1125
00:49:23,599 --> 00:49:27,039
like super intense tactical. SHOOTERS i said tactics that was

1126
00:49:27,079 --> 00:49:30,079
a was a. Miss. Miss it's not an X com

1127
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,800
Or Fire tactics, game but just very, tactical very like

1128
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,480
unforgiving in the sense of like one bullet kills. Everything

1129
00:49:38,519 --> 00:49:40,679
it's you, know it's it's good for if you're shooting the,

1130
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,400
enemy but also if you get, bopped you you're down

1131
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,519
at one. Shot AND i just had lots of lots

1132
00:49:45,559 --> 00:49:48,199
of fun it. It it definitely takes me back TO

1133
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,559
i was a Big rainbow Six vegas, guy so it

1134
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,639
reminds me of that kind of era of my my

1135
00:49:53,639 --> 00:49:56,440
my tactical shooters and ONE I i want to go

1136
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,599
back and play more. Of AND i think it will

1137
00:49:58,599 --> 00:50:00,199
only be more fun If i'm able, to you, know

1138
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,719
get some get some lads on there and playing online,

1139
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,800
together because like friendly fire is very much a. Thing

1140
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,760
so When i'm playing WITH ai, bots they're they're well,

1141
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,239
trained you, know they're they're not shooting the civilians or

1142
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,519
anything by. Accident But i've just seen so many clips

1143
00:50:13,559 --> 00:50:15,840
of just the chaos that can unfold when you're when

1144
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:17,920
you're actually playing with friends and you're just trying to

1145
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:21,079
clear out these places and you're trying to not kill anyone,

1146
00:50:21,119 --> 00:50:23,800
innocent but of course when you're playing online it's it gets.

1147
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,519
Chaos SO i definitely want to access that part of the.

1148
00:50:27,519 --> 00:50:31,079
Game but really really really sweet game THAT i definitely

1149
00:50:31,119 --> 00:50:33,159
recommend to people that, are LIKE i, said just kind

1150
00:50:33,159 --> 00:50:35,239
of like, me and then they grew up playing Those

1151
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,440
rainbow six the Early rainbow six is that were very

1152
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,519
difficult compared to what they are. Now so, yeah shouts

1153
00:50:41,559 --> 00:50:44,159
out to ready or not love?

1154
00:50:44,199 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: It great? Pick, okay next up for, me number. Six

1155
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,760
this is WHERE i Put Adam, fall which ended up

1156
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,360
BEING i think a lot higher THAN i thought it

1157
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,480
would be AFTER i completed or even just in the

1158
00:50:58,559 --> 00:51:00,400
last couple of months of thinking about the what my

1159
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,280
top ten would look. Like but, ultimately WHEN i compared

1160
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,679
this to About Blueprint's, ballpit LIKE i just feel like

1161
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,119
there's something about this game that really speaks to. Me

1162
00:51:09,159 --> 00:51:11,239
AND i think that part of this is it's a

1163
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,760
it's a Very dylan centric game because to some extent

1164
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:17,079
it feels like a Mini bethesday game and into some

1165
00:51:17,119 --> 00:51:19,920
extent of like exploration and like kind of janky combat

1166
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:21,840
and stuff like. That but then it also has like

1167
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,679
the Outer wilds or like tunic part or blueprints part

1168
00:51:24,679 --> 00:51:27,760
of it of like piecing things, together combining clues and

1169
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,239
information in this, game not so much one that you

1170
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:31,599
need to do the ole on, paper because it kind

1171
00:51:31,599 --> 00:51:33,800
of just does it really well in the game of

1172
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,719
like rather than just like a questlogue of like go

1173
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:37,400
to POINT a and then go to POINT b and

1174
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,440
then kill this, guy grab, item go back to POINT,

1175
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,280
a it just like gives you all these different notes

1176
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,239
or conversations you had just get dumped into like a

1177
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,239
topic and then all this stuff is there and so

1178
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,519
you kind of like decipher this info and put things

1179
00:51:48,559 --> 00:51:51,519
together and figure things, out and it's, like, OH i

1180
00:51:51,519 --> 00:51:53,360
got this safe code and like what is it related?

1181
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:54,840
To and it'll like get tucked in like the right.

1182
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,239
Spot so just REALLY i think that's kind of the

1183
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,800
highlight for. Me of the game is like the quest

1184
00:52:00,079 --> 00:52:02,480
sure was so cool and, unique AND i think part

1185
00:52:02,519 --> 00:52:04,000
of why it works so well is because it is

1186
00:52:04,039 --> 00:52:06,199
a pretty, tight smaller, Experience LIKE i don't think this

1187
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,639
would work with A bethesda style game as. MUCH i,

1188
00:52:08,639 --> 00:52:10,159
Mean marwin was kind of like that back in the

1189
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,400
day a little bit With it's a weird quest, log

1190
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,760
but something THAT i really hope a lot of other

1191
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,159
games copy What Adam fall, did AND i don't know

1192
00:52:17,159 --> 00:52:18,719
if they will because the game wasn't that big or

1193
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:20,559
didn't really seem to move the needle a whole, lot

1194
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,960
BUT i really love the quest structure of. It it's,

1195
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,039
funny like this is From. Rebellion so the makers Of

1196
00:52:26,039 --> 00:52:29,199
Sniper lead And honorable mentioned To Sniper La resistance as,

1197
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:30,960
well which they released two games this, year AND i

1198
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,039
really Enjoyed Sniper Late. Resistance that was a really fun

1199
00:52:33,079 --> 00:52:35,400
time as. Well so again just Like obsidian crushing it

1200
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,880
with multiple releases in one, year and that's like a

1201
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,000
weird thing With Adam fall is like the combat wasn't very.

1202
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,639
Good it feels like very, janky and the stealth doesn't

1203
00:52:43,679 --> 00:52:46,440
really work that, well even like masters of making stealth.

1204
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,559
Games SO i don't know what happened. There maybe it's

1205
00:52:48,599 --> 00:52:51,239
just the transition to first. Person maybe they used a

1206
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:53,480
new engine for this or something like. That so there's

1207
00:52:53,519 --> 00:52:56,960
definitely some you, know they got to get some that rust,

1208
00:52:57,079 --> 00:52:58,800
OFF i, think but before they do another, one if

1209
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:00,480
they do make a sequel with, SOMETHING i know there's

1210
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,320
A dlc for this game already THAT i haven't actually

1211
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:06,239
played yet as, well BUT i, still even With jenk,

1212
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,920
INCLUDED i had just had a really great time going through,

1213
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:12,519
this exploring the different, areas discovering the different ways you

1214
00:53:12,559 --> 00:53:15,000
can connect between the like four to five like open

1215
00:53:15,039 --> 00:53:17,760
worldly kind of, zones and then you can go to

1216
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,880
like neutral areas in towns and talking with people and

1217
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,599
getting more information that. Way and a game that has

1218
00:53:22,679 --> 00:53:25,760
multiple endings USUALLY i never see those multiple, endings but

1219
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:27,760
in this, ONE i was like making saves at different

1220
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:29,960
spots BECAUSE i wanted to, See, Oh i'm really curious

1221
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,039
what happens if you side with this one, Character and

1222
00:53:32,079 --> 00:53:34,400
SO i, did, like, yeah four or five different versions of,

1223
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,119
those just to see the different possibilities of it, all

1224
00:53:37,159 --> 00:53:40,280
and just a really really fun mystery. Overall and, YEAH

1225
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,760
i really Enjoyed Adam. FALL i think a very underrated,

1226
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,599
game AND i think for a lot of people they

1227
00:53:44,599 --> 00:53:46,360
could bounce off of it just because of the kind

1228
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,159
of jankiness to some of the actual combat and stealth.

1229
00:53:49,199 --> 00:53:51,159
Stuff AND i don't, know maybe they've even fixed some

1230
00:53:51,159 --> 00:53:53,239
of that with, updates and like THE dlc that's out,

1231
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,480
NOW i probably should check that. OUT i should probably

1232
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,039
go check out THAT. Dlc but, yeah don't forget About Adam.

1233
00:53:58,039 --> 00:54:00,719
FALL i think a very underrated gem from this year for.

1234
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:05,280
Speaker 3: Me, Nice, yeah would you say that one was like

1235
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:06,880
like run time, wise like under ten?

1236
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,679
Speaker 1: Hours, no it took me twenty hours to do. It,

1237
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:11,480
again that was.

1238
00:54:11,599 --> 00:54:12,760
Speaker 3: Much longer THAN i would have, expected.

1239
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: Honestly, YEAH i think you, probably like if you didn't

1240
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,400
do the multiple ending. Stuff and there's a point WHEN

1241
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:20,760
i was, like, OKAY i could probably could go for

1242
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:22,519
an ending, here BUT i want to discover more. Things

1243
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,880
so definitely not one hundred percent, completion BUT i definitely

1244
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,480
spent more hours with it than you, know most players probably.

1245
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:31,280
WOULD i would imagine THAT i took a bit longer

1246
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,480
with it just BECAUSE i was really enjoying discovering all

1247
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,840
the hidden corners AND i wanted to uncover a lot of.

1248
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:37,960
Things but, yeah it was about about twenty hours when

1249
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,239
it was all said and, done so pretty substantial and

1250
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,360
definitely longer than like Any Sniper league Game i've. PLAYED i,

1251
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:46,320
mean there's a lot of replayability with those, levels WHICH

1252
00:54:46,599 --> 00:54:47,960
i guess if you take advantage of, that you'd get

1253
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:49,480
a lot more play time out of. It but just

1254
00:54:49,519 --> 00:54:50,960
in terms of the base, campaign, yeah it was a

1255
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,639
lot longer than some of the other. Stuff so, yeah very,

1256
00:54:53,639 --> 00:54:55,440
cool AND i, HOPE i hope they do more of

1257
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,119
this stuff like. THIS i would LOVE i don't know

1258
00:54:57,119 --> 00:54:58,920
how you do a sequel story, wise but even like

1259
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,159
a spiritual se cool with something like, that or just

1260
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,599
more weird first person detective games like this from, THEM

1261
00:55:04,639 --> 00:55:07,599
i think would really hit the. Spot so hopefully they

1262
00:55:07,639 --> 00:55:09,639
do more of. THAT i, Mean i'll Take Sniper lead as.

1263
00:55:09,679 --> 00:55:12,440
Well but you, Know Adam fall coming new and fresh

1264
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,400
and different and all, that and the cool, world cool

1265
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:18,000
setting and all. That so, yeah shouts to. That how

1266
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,800
many other than your game the? Year how many shout

1267
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:22,079
outs do you, have just trying to think of spacing of, things.

1268
00:55:25,039 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 3: Three shout outs OR i guess, four but like very,

1269
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,440
fast so it's kind of give, me give me one

1270
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,760
of the shot outs right, now one of the really quick,

1271
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,679
ones culled the. Lamp you, Know, Shane i've played a

1272
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:38,079
lot of that couch co op earlier this. YEAR i

1273
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:41,159
shouted out because we actually like were hitting in game

1274
00:55:41,199 --> 00:55:43,039
stuff and we're like grinding it a lot and just

1275
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,199
falling back in love with that, game and we decided

1276
00:55:46,199 --> 00:55:47,679
to boot it back up not too long. Ago we're

1277
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,320
kind of getting because it's it's a pretty difficult game,

1278
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,159
also like especially with where we're at in the in game,

1279
00:55:53,199 --> 00:55:55,800
content and because THE dlc is DROPPING i believe In

1280
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:59,719
january or for some Generary, yeah we're gonna be jumping

1281
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:01,119
right back in. There so we just kind of wanted

1282
00:56:01,119 --> 00:56:03,559
to get the dust off of the off the fingers

1283
00:56:03,599 --> 00:56:05,360
get getting ready for that one because we we love that,

1284
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:09,119
game so, uh you, know shouts out to my lamb right. Here,

1285
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,639
yeah it rocks with me on these. Casts so just

1286
00:56:12,679 --> 00:56:14,199
wanted to shout that one out because it was taking

1287
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:18,159
up a lot of gaming. Time very very quick shout

1288
00:56:18,159 --> 00:56:20,920
out for also just to pair up just you, know

1289
00:56:21,159 --> 00:56:23,960
these Two Ace combat. SEVEN i jump back into that

1290
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,199
one with with uh uh what was it Called wings

1291
00:56:27,199 --> 00:56:30,880
Of thieve or something like THAT i can't for the new,

1292
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,239
one but Then i'm so fucking hype for, that SO

1293
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,280
i decided to boot it back. Up and it's kind

1294
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,679
of fun playing like the earlier missions when, uh because

1295
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,440
you have like all your unlocks if you just redo.

1296
00:56:41,519 --> 00:56:44,599
Missions So i'm like redoing it with like the fucking

1297
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,920
Black hawk Like Stealth, fighter where like the stats are

1298
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,840
just like basically maxed, Out whereas normally when you're doing

1299
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,639
like the earlier, missions you're plane is like so. Slow

1300
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:57,159
So i'm actually like speed running these these these uh these.

1301
00:56:57,199 --> 00:57:00,519
Missions now it's it's it's pretty, crazy like, honestly especially

1302
00:57:00,519 --> 00:57:02,760
just some of like the advanced weaponry that you have

1303
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,159
like later on is just absolutely nuts compared to what

1304
00:57:05,199 --> 00:57:07,960
you start, with because just for, example there's one where it's, like,

1305
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,480
OKAY i can lock onto like maybe four enemies with

1306
00:57:10,519 --> 00:57:12,760
one of, MINE i can lock on like, Sixteen like

1307
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,800
it's just absolutely. Nuts so definitely speed running. It but,

1308
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,719
man it's such a fun, game And i'm very excited

1309
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,679
for when we Get Ace combat. Eight so there you.

1310
00:57:21,719 --> 00:57:23,480
Go just just a couple of quick shout outs. THERE

1311
00:57:23,599 --> 00:57:24,599
i love it all.

1312
00:57:24,719 --> 00:57:27,519
Speaker 1: RIGHT i, also, YEAH i normally break down my list

1313
00:57:27,639 --> 00:57:29,840
into like a bit of. Tears SO i guess going

1314
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:33,119
back ten about Nine Tony, HAWK i think for me

1315
00:57:33,119 --> 00:57:35,719
those were like almost like in That Honorable mention, tier

1316
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,039
like they're kind of interchangeable with some honorable. Mentions that

1317
00:57:38,119 --> 00:57:40,400
was like my first, tier and then, Yeah blueprints at

1318
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,079
Eight ballpit Seven Adam fall at six were kind of

1319
00:57:43,119 --> 00:57:46,559
like a little triplet tier somewhat. Interchangeable But i'm happy

1320
00:57:46,599 --> 00:57:49,320
with the Order i've picked. Today my next tier is

1321
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,639
kind of a spoiler for both the, games So i'll

1322
00:57:51,639 --> 00:57:53,800
just say them kind of both at. Once. Number the

1323
00:57:54,119 --> 00:57:57,480
tier is called The nintendo To switch to launch title.

1324
00:57:57,519 --> 00:58:01,199
Games So Mario Kart world is my number five And

1325
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,840
Donkey Kong bonanza is my number. Four SO i guess

1326
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:07,880
starting out With Mario, kart have you played WERE i

1327
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:11,840
guess did you Play world on the? Stream? UH i

1328
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:13,800
anything on the, Stream.

1329
00:58:13,239 --> 00:58:15,559
Speaker 3: But at some POINT i THINK i was like filming

1330
00:58:15,599 --> 00:58:17,760
something That travis's and then we played a couple of.

1331
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,239
Matches oh, Nice, okay SO i have played it a little, bit,

1332
00:58:20,679 --> 00:58:23,599
yeah but, yeah not enough to really. Like, yeah, OKAY

1333
00:58:23,599 --> 00:58:26,800
i understand the game, now only like one or two, maps.

1334
00:58:26,639 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 1: Right, YEAH i Think i've seen a lot of people

1335
00:58:29,719 --> 00:58:33,199
sour on this game, already AND i, think you, know comparison,

1336
00:58:33,239 --> 00:58:35,559
wise you compared to the Last Mario, kart that's a

1337
00:58:35,599 --> 00:58:38,079
hard comparison Because Mario kart eight came out on the FREAKING.

1338
00:58:38,159 --> 00:58:40,519
Weu it GOT dlc when it got part of the,

1339
00:58:40,519 --> 00:58:42,880
switch and then it got, like you, know fifty eight

1340
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,719
thousand courses AS, dlc and so we're, like we're comparing

1341
00:58:45,719 --> 00:58:48,119
it against the game that had like ten years to

1342
00:58:48,199 --> 00:58:51,280
cook and become like the Best Mario kart game. Ever

1343
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:53,800
and So Mario Kart world yet naturally is like not

1344
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:57,480
as much content As Mario kart eight. Has so when

1345
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:58,800
you compare it in that, WAY i can see why

1346
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:00,920
some people have maybe soured on it or, like you,

1347
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:02,400
know it's just a game you play for a couple

1348
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:03,599
of weeks and then you don't come back to. IT i,

1349
00:59:03,599 --> 00:59:06,000
mean for me, personally WHEN i have five friends, OVER

1350
00:59:06,079 --> 00:59:07,519
i have jumped in and have played it kind of

1351
00:59:07,519 --> 00:59:10,360
consistently since it's came. Out But i'm sure this game

1352
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:12,719
will be on that tier with, eight you, know few

1353
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:14,239
years down the line when it gets SOME. DLC i

1354
00:59:14,239 --> 00:59:16,679
don't know if they'll do that right away because EIGHT'S

1355
00:59:16,719 --> 00:59:18,519
delC came out years later, too SO i don't know

1356
00:59:18,519 --> 00:59:20,599
if they'll do anything With Mario Kart world right now

1357
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:22,719
or if they'll just kick that down the. Road either,

1358
00:59:22,719 --> 00:59:25,159
Way i'll still be playing this, version probably interchangeably with.

1359
00:59:25,159 --> 00:59:27,519
Eight BUT i really like what this game. IS i

1360
00:59:27,719 --> 00:59:29,880
think it looks, great it sounds, great which you kind

1361
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:32,679
of expect for Any Mario kart. Game the inclusion of,

1362
00:59:32,679 --> 00:59:34,440
costumes for, me is a really fun thing to just

1363
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,719
get some freaky looks for my Favorite nintendo. CHARACTERS i

1364
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:39,960
love that they. ADDED i love my. Freaks they added

1365
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:43,280
all the freak characters in, there Like cow And, Para

1366
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:47,920
bob Up trooper and Like, gumba all the weirdos that

1367
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:49,079
you can now play, as WHICH i.

1368
00:59:49,119 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 3: Love the.

1369
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: COURSES i think that the courses are all, great, like

1370
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,119
they're all super. FUN i like the variety two of

1371
00:59:56,159 --> 00:59:58,159
like since you have the level, transitions WHICH i know

1372
00:59:58,159 --> 01:00:00,840
some people don't, love but you have options right as

1373
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,880
long as you're playing like on your're not playing, online

1374
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:05,519
you have the option to choose whatever you. Want AND

1375
01:00:05,559 --> 01:00:06,840
i really like that you have the option of just

1376
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:09,639
doing regular laps on your favorite courses or the transition,

1377
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:13,239
levels which add like just kind of an exponential amount

1378
01:00:13,239 --> 01:00:15,599
of courses or variations you can have on. Them SO

1379
01:00:15,679 --> 01:00:18,119
i really like. That i've had a lot of fun doing,

1380
01:00:18,159 --> 01:00:20,440
that and even you, know screw around with the open world,

1381
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,280
stuff just like exploring, stuff finding little hidden nooks or

1382
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,880
clicking hidden, coins doing little. Challenges, yeah it's not the

1383
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:27,760
best open world game by any, means and it's not

1384
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:30,599
like Super meaningful doesn't have some big story or, Whatever but,

1385
01:00:30,679 --> 01:00:33,159
MAN i love this. GAME i think it's really. Great

1386
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,199
it's A i think it's the perfect launch title, game

1387
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:39,000
perfect pack in to have with a with a, console

1388
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,199
which of course they have the bundle. There so, Yeah

1389
01:00:41,199 --> 01:00:42,519
i've had a ton of a ton of fun With

1390
01:00:42,559 --> 01:00:45,719
Mario kart And I'M i think another part of this

1391
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:47,639
too is Like i'm gonna be this is probably this

1392
01:00:47,679 --> 01:00:49,079
is the first GAME i played on the Switch, to of,

1393
01:00:49,079 --> 01:00:51,360
course because it you, know day one pack. In this

1394
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,480
is probably the last Switch to Game i'll play in

1395
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,199
like ten years from now or, Whatever like the last

1396
01:00:55,239 --> 01:00:57,119
TIME i boot up my switch to will probably be

1397
01:00:57,199 --> 01:01:00,280
Play Mario Kart. World and so part of that is you,

1398
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:03,079
know really. Meaningful so shout Out Tomorroo, kart and then,

1399
01:01:03,159 --> 01:01:07,000
yeah number Four Donkey Kong, bonanza which is also since

1400
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:08,599
it came out like a month later or, whatever it's

1401
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:10,960
in that kind of launch window, era and another really

1402
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:14,760
great launch game with a, console and, yeah really really.

1403
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:16,480
FUN i, mean for, me it's almost hard to call

1404
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:19,639
it a platformer because very not a ton of it feels, like,

1405
01:01:19,639 --> 01:01:22,119
oh there's some big platform and, challenge although in like

1406
01:01:22,159 --> 01:01:24,320
the endgame when you're getting to like doing some crazy

1407
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,519
stuff at the, end there are some like really good

1408
01:01:26,599 --> 01:01:30,400
challenges that are actually like pretty tricky timing stuff like.

1409
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:31,840
That BUT i think for the most, part this, game

1410
01:01:32,159 --> 01:01:33,679
kind of Like tears of The kingdom Or broth The,

1411
01:01:33,679 --> 01:01:36,159
wild is trying to just open up the format really

1412
01:01:36,159 --> 01:01:38,280
like let you screw, around let you break these, levels

1413
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:40,239
which you can you can like destroy every block if

1414
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,360
you want in the whole, world and just, like, hey

1415
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:44,960
there's a banana, here and, yeah there's like one intended

1416
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:46,760
way to go. There but then you can get really

1417
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,320
creative and do some wild combination of stuff to get there.

1418
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:51,039
Early AND i definitely did that a couple. Times i'm, like,

1419
01:01:51,079 --> 01:01:53,360
man that felt so good to like break this game

1420
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:55,559
and like cheat get in. Here earlier THAN i normally.

1421
01:01:55,599 --> 01:01:58,960
Should there's a good variety of. LEVELS i would have

1422
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:00,960
liked it maybe a couple, more just to round out

1423
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,280
the playtime and depth of, it which of course they

1424
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,360
kind of piecemealed one AS dlc and sold up for

1425
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,440
thirty five, dollars Which i'm not happy, about but you

1426
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,400
know that's been well dripned on the podcast. Already but

1427
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:13,199
some really great creative. Levels the ending of this game

1428
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,800
is amazing in the last hour or, two just the

1429
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,239
amount of like plot twists and things going on in

1430
01:02:18,239 --> 01:02:20,559
the craziness of the. World the final boss fight is so,

1431
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:23,519
fun like really really well, designed really, creative really. Crazy,

1432
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,599
yeah SO i really really enjoy this. Game it's a

1433
01:02:26,639 --> 01:02:28,760
super fun. Time and, yeah there's a couple of worlds

1434
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:30,800
that are pretty, lackluster but like there's also a ton

1435
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,639
that really blew me, Away and, yeah, overall just had

1436
01:02:33,639 --> 01:02:35,880
a lot of fun with. It didn'tet one hund percent

1437
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:37,880
completion by any, means BUT i did a. Lot definitely

1438
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:39,800
went through and plowed through a ton of this, game

1439
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,400
especially for like the to get those endgame challenge, things

1440
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:44,719
you got to knock out quite a few extra bananas and,

1441
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,039
tokens and, Whatever so definitely did a bunch of that.

1442
01:02:47,079 --> 01:02:49,480
Stuff so, yeah shout outs To don Com bananza and

1443
01:02:49,559 --> 01:02:52,639
just generally the switch to launched LINEUP i thought worked

1444
01:02:52,679 --> 01:02:54,559
really well for. Me and Now i'm playing Air. RIDERS

1445
01:02:54,599 --> 01:02:57,519
i haven't Played metroid, yet but, YEAH i think, overall

1446
01:02:57,559 --> 01:03:00,760
like considering it came out in Like, june that's like pretty.

1447
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,119
Solid and there's other ones, too some smaller games that came,

1448
01:03:03,119 --> 01:03:04,639
OUT i think it's pretty solid for like a little

1449
01:03:04,679 --> 01:03:07,519
launch window for a new. Console And i'm sure next,

1450
01:03:07,599 --> 01:03:09,960
year you, know we Get fire And, bloom there's a

1451
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:11,679
New Mario. Tennis i'm sure there will Be there'll be

1452
01:03:11,679 --> 01:03:13,400
a couple of big like surprise ones that we don't

1453
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:15,960
know about. Yet so, Yeah i'm excited to dive more

1454
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:18,840
to this. Console but even just this last week playing

1455
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,920
more Air riders and just, like, YEAH i really love

1456
01:03:21,079 --> 01:03:23,559
the feel of this new console and it's it's good

1457
01:03:23,599 --> 01:03:26,000
to kind of be, GRATEFUL i guess for that, sometimes, like,

1458
01:03:26,079 --> 01:03:28,519
yeah it's not a huge new, console but it is

1459
01:03:28,519 --> 01:03:30,199
still a fun piece of new hardware That i'm glad

1460
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,679
THAT i. Have and it's mostly because Of mario Caur

1461
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,039
world And. Bonanza that's the main reason Why i'm happy

1462
01:03:35,039 --> 01:03:37,480
about this. Thing, so, yeah there's my Little nintendo corner

1463
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:39,079
from my from my top ten.

1464
01:03:39,119 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 3: List. Nice the usual suspects say The nintendo, Titles, YEAH i,

1465
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:44,920
Don't Donkey.

1466
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:48,719
Speaker 1: KONG i usually have like one or. TWO a lot

1467
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:50,800
of them float like right in that honorable mention tier

1468
01:03:51,199 --> 01:03:53,599
kind of like Where kirby Air riders. Is but usually

1469
01:03:53,639 --> 01:03:55,079
there's one like up there in my top. Five at

1470
01:03:55,159 --> 01:03:57,679
LEAST i think it was The Zelda Zelda echoes Of

1471
01:03:57,679 --> 01:03:59,440
wisdom last. YEAR i really really loved that. Game so

1472
01:03:59,519 --> 01:04:01,320
USUALLY i have won like way up there in my

1473
01:04:02,079 --> 01:04:04,000
in my top, five SO i had to this, year

1474
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:04,760
which is which is really.

1475
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:10,679
Speaker 3: Great. Nice. Cool all, right my last two little shout

1476
01:04:10,679 --> 01:04:13,400
outs here that ARE i, mean these are like the

1477
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:16,280
least surprising picks. Ever if you've ever listened to My

1478
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:18,719
game of the, years they've probably both been on there multiple.

1479
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:22,719
Times i'm gonna start off with a one THAT i

1480
01:04:22,719 --> 01:04:24,920
feel Like i've just come to terms with where usually it's, like,

1481
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:26,920
okay it's my guilty pleasure. Pick i'm never gonna be

1482
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:29,679
fully done with this. Game. Uh you, know usually when

1483
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:31,960
world is going, ON i get pretty hyped and jump

1484
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,280
in there just just for that. Reason but, man not

1485
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:36,480
even for that reason. ANYMORE i got so Into Legal

1486
01:04:36,599 --> 01:04:38,960
legends this, year like, actually LIKE i was like grinding

1487
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,639
it really. HARD a big difference, too, was as you, Know,

1488
01:04:42,719 --> 01:04:45,440
dylan like all mobis they're, five well most MOBAs at

1489
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:48,400
least there it's five y, Five AND i was able

1490
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:51,000
to get like, five like five of us, together so

1491
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,519
we had like a full five man ranked team that

1492
01:04:53,519 --> 01:04:56,000
we we set up In League. Legends every month they

1493
01:04:56,039 --> 01:04:58,079
do these clash, tournaments which is basically just like a

1494
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:01,760
like an amateur little tournament. Thing you, know everybody gets

1495
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:03,159
like a free ticket to go in. There it's kind

1496
01:05:03,199 --> 01:05:05,440
of based on like everyone's general rank on where you'd get.

1497
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,000
Placed and then you go in there and THEN i,

1498
01:05:07,079 --> 01:05:09,880
THINK i think it's like if you win all of,

1499
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,920
them you play like four or five. Games and we

1500
01:05:13,079 --> 01:05:14,639
managed to make it to the. Finals we ended up

1501
01:05:14,679 --> 01:05:16,119
losing in the, finals which is a little bit of a,

1502
01:05:16,159 --> 01:05:18,760
heartbreak but, man it was so fun to like actually

1503
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,679
be playing like what we thought was like this is

1504
01:05:21,719 --> 01:05:24,239
our pro. League turn them. Off of, course it's like

1505
01:05:24,599 --> 01:05:27,679
way LOWER ti your compared to any, anything compared to

1506
01:05:27,679 --> 01:05:30,320
like what the professionals, play but it was so much

1507
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,400
fun and like just discussing strategies and like we actually

1508
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:35,519
had like a whole like pick and band, phase Like,

1509
01:05:35,719 --> 01:05:37,960
okay if they pick this is who we're gonna pick around.

1510
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:39,599
It so we got like really into, it and it

1511
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,719
just made the game so so. Fun like all these,

1512
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:44,559
games like it's so fun to be. Playing it's so

1513
01:05:44,639 --> 01:05:46,519
much better to be playing with friends versus on your.

1514
01:05:46,559 --> 01:05:49,000
Own and because we had a full team like everyone's

1515
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:50,440
on the on the, coms it was just a whole

1516
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:53,079
different experience AND i got so into. IT i was

1517
01:05:53,119 --> 01:05:56,320
like really really like trying to learn certain, strategies kind

1518
01:05:56,320 --> 01:06:00,920
of like re solidifying what my like what my champion

1519
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,880
roster kind of looks, like and just so much. Fun

1520
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:06,559
so this is definitely like probably my favorite ear playing.

1521
01:06:06,639 --> 01:06:08,920
League and like a good amount of, Time LIKE i,

1522
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:12,639
said every world comes, AROUND i get. HYPED i boot

1523
01:06:12,679 --> 01:06:14,400
up the, game play a couple of. Matches usually it's, Like,

1524
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:17,000
okay that's kind of it for, now play it in

1525
01:06:17,039 --> 01:06:19,119
a couple months or. Whatnot But i've been playing like

1526
01:06:19,119 --> 01:06:21,320
pretty consistently SINCE i got back From. Japan of, course

1527
01:06:21,519 --> 01:06:23,480
In japan is when they were doing The, world SO

1528
01:06:23,719 --> 01:06:25,159
i wasn't able to Play. League THEN i was just

1529
01:06:25,199 --> 01:06:26,599
watching the, game and THEN i got. BACK i got

1530
01:06:26,679 --> 01:06:30,599
really really hyped on, it and, yeah it's it's. One

1531
01:06:31,079 --> 01:06:32,960
i'll never be done with it until the game's like

1532
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,199
just not supported. Anymore it's very popular, games SO i

1533
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:39,519
kind of doubt that will. Happen but shouts out To

1534
01:06:39,599 --> 01:06:42,480
league and also Rewatch, arcane so that helps do with

1535
01:06:42,519 --> 01:06:47,239
the hype that, yeah, exactly so big shout out. There

1536
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:50,840
and then my last shout out would Be Total World

1537
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:54,079
warhammer because now THAT i have a new, COMPUTER i

1538
01:06:54,119 --> 01:06:57,480
can actually load into battles so. Fast it is so.

1539
01:06:57,639 --> 01:06:59,679
Crazy WHERE i used to like load into a, Battle

1540
01:07:00,119 --> 01:07:02,840
i'd go get some, coffee fold some, laundry like do

1541
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:04,960
things come, Back i'm, like, oh still not loaded. In

1542
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:07,920
NOW i can like load in less than ten. Seconds

1543
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:09,760
i'm in the. Game like it is just such a different.

1544
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:11,960
EXPERIENCE i love this game so much THAT i was

1545
01:07:12,239 --> 01:07:15,400
just putting up with those like crazy hardware issues THAT

1546
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:16,880
i was having with my old. CONSOLE i would have

1547
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,639
like crafted desktops WHERE i would just like lose progress

1548
01:07:19,639 --> 01:07:20,880
THAT i played for the evening AND i would just

1549
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,400
kind of sit there and like just be so, bitter

1550
01:07:23,559 --> 01:07:25,320
AND i love the game so. MUCH i would be

1551
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:26,760
getting back into, it BUT i would need like a,

1552
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:29,440
week you, Know i'd have to like forget EVERYTHING i. Did,

1553
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:32,079
okay let's try this. Again but now THAT i have

1554
01:07:32,159 --> 01:07:34,480
like a console or a system that can like actually

1555
01:07:34,559 --> 01:07:37,719
run it really really, well it is a whole different experience,

1556
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:39,760
now And i've kind of just fallen back in love

1557
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:43,280
with the. Game they just had a RECENT dlc. DROP

1558
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:46,960

1562

anyone those are my two. SHOUTOUTS i feel LIKE i

1571
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:22,199
probably bring up every Single game of The year, episode

1572
01:08:22,239 --> 01:08:24,239
but maybe not next year because we actually have some

1573
01:08:24,279 --> 01:08:27,239
really hot bangers That i'm going to be. Acquiring i'll

1574
01:08:27,239 --> 01:08:28,920
probably be able to fail up my whole list of

1575
01:08:29,159 --> 01:08:31,079
games that actually came out that. Year but those are My,

1576

Speaker 4: Back hello, ladies, Gentlemen hello. THERE i don't, KNOW i

1583
01:08:57,279 --> 01:08:59,600
feel like it's weird to say, hello lez jone my

1584
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:01,760
opening when this is probably not opening somewhere in the,

1585
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:04,079
middle somewhere in the, end somewhere just spliced in who.

1586
01:09:04,079 --> 01:09:06,439
Knows but it is that time of the. Year we're

1587
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:09,000
coming down to the, end twenty twenty, five AND i

1588
01:09:09,039 --> 01:09:11,479
get that message from Dyl and, saying, hey what's your

1589
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:13,399
game in the, Year and just like every, YEAR i

1590
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:19,279
panic BECAUSE i luckily next year me and him talk about.

1591
01:09:19,279 --> 01:09:21,840
This next, Year i'm gonna be Flowing i'm gonna be

1592
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:24,560
ready to go next. Year maybe because too we got

1593
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:26,880
a lot of stuff like film wise already figure out

1594
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:29,720
because usually might write the, script figure out. Locations now we're, like,

1595
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,399
okay meet up one, day film good to, go. Boom you.

1596
01:09:32,399 --> 01:09:34,439
Know SO i got a lot of that stuff. Planned

1597
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:36,479
SO i got a lot more spare time or a

1598
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:40,119
lot of just resources spread. Around and tons of games

1599
01:09:40,159 --> 01:09:41,800
next Year i'm excited, for and tons of games ARE

1600
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,079
i can't, miss even GAMES i wasn't. Planning i'm. Buying

1601
01:09:44,119 --> 01:09:46,319
i'm buying, now so next year can't. Wait i'll have

1602
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:48,920
a big pluth. Throat BUT i think the last two,

1603
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:51,640
YEARS i have my select GAMES i want to, buy

1604
01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:53,560
AND i get, them and then that's kind of, it,

1605
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:55,600
Right SO i feel bad when it's, like what's your

1606
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:57,039
game in the, year and some of them sitting at

1607
01:09:57,079 --> 01:09:59,840
like four to five new, games it's, like, well you,

1608
01:09:59,880 --> 01:10:03,920
know and some of them are Like madden or W

1609
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:05,680
w where it's, like, uh you, KNOW i kind of

1610
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:08,159
get a general sense of what they. Are BUT i

1611
01:10:08,199 --> 01:10:09,720
GUESS i do have a game. Year But i'm putting.

1612
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:11,840
THIS i got three categories to, say don't say there's no,

1613
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:13,119
Rules SO i thought this was the best way to

1614
01:10:13,279 --> 01:10:15,399
give a shine on everything BECAUSE i don't have that

1615
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:17,720
sort Of, Yes i've played twenty three, games here's WHAT

1616
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:19,520
i think is the definitive. GAME i don't have that

1617
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:22,000
like with the. Movies right next, year pretty CONFIDENT i,

1618
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:23,920
will AND i got a new. Plan next side quest

1619
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:25,760
about How i'm knocking off the, backlog AND i alread

1620
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,399
lock knock off two games on the backlog SINCE i

1621
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:30,720
started this, Method So i'm pretty happy with. It but

1622
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,399
let's go with. THAT i have my most, PLAYED i

1623
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:36,840
have my actual game of the, year and THEN i

1624
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:40,199
have a flashback game of the, year which is something

1625
01:10:40,199 --> 01:10:44,199
where it's like the Most i've enjoyed, playing but it's

1626
01:10:44,239 --> 01:10:46,560
something Far i'm catching up on a. Replaying BUT i

1627
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:49,319
really mentioned the first one most played, game and THEN

1628
01:10:49,359 --> 01:10:51,039
i mentioned this last year is probably giving my game

1629
01:10:51,039 --> 01:10:54,439
of the year until Uh Indian jones came. Out but

1630
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:57,279
to b so the reason is. Period oh of, course

1631
01:10:57,319 --> 01:11:00,000
As i've said, before it's not per se just because

1632
01:11:00,159 --> 01:11:03,920
all wrestling all, That, NO i BARELY i don't know

1633
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:08,199
in my, playtime maybe ten. PERCENT i think that's being

1634
01:11:08,279 --> 01:11:10,239
nice of SAYING i played the wrestling. Stuff everyone. Knows

1635
01:11:10,279 --> 01:11:12,279
i'm talking about did on the stream with tons of.

1636
01:11:12,279 --> 01:11:15,279
Fun we do a monthly stream that's coming back In

1637
01:11:15,359 --> 01:11:18,760
january with The Gimmick, boys Gmod, baby and especially this.

1638
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:20,479
Year the reason why it's not just a big show

1639
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:23,479
because it's been this evolution Of, okay they put it back,

1640
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:25,159
in but it's very basic. Version oh they've done, this

1641
01:11:25,239 --> 01:11:27,319
and you, know add a little bit. Here but it

1642
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:29,760
really felt LIKE i was just playing it Because i've

1643
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:32,119
tried to play the old consoles and it's tough playing you,

1644
01:11:32,159 --> 01:11:35,600
know ON ps two Or, xbox you, know sometimes older,

1645
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:37,880
consoles and there's even some stuff that's. Missing and also

1646
01:11:38,319 --> 01:11:40,560
it's fun to play with the current wrestlers of today

1647
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:42,880
right which you can't in the, past where now you

1648
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:46,399
can download anybody and do. That but the reason is

1649
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:48,439
there's Multiple AS i said, before AND i THINK i

1650
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:51,039
talked about earlier this, Year, dylan there's multiple, things and

1651
01:11:51,079 --> 01:11:53,119
there's still some Things i'm, wanting some things that from

1652
01:11:53,159 --> 01:11:54,960
the old games that they don't. Have there are some new,

1653
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,680
things but still there's some classic, ones right like some

1654
01:11:57,840 --> 01:11:59,600
they don't have That i'm hoping for next, year, right

1655
01:12:00,079 --> 01:12:02,279
a fifty two week. Calendar the old games used to

1656
01:12:02,279 --> 01:12:04,000
be you play a whole. Year now it's, like, oh

1657
01:12:04,039 --> 01:12:05,640
you play half a, Year AND i always hate that

1658
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:07,960
because it feels like at that halfway mark you're just

1659
01:12:08,039 --> 01:12:10,560
going and then it. Stops there's still a limit of

1660
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:12,600
four people per, match which is, LIKE i like a big,

1661
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:14,880
roster so it's, like you, know only have so many

1662
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:17,520
because if people aren't, wrestling nothing. Happens, Right but this,

1663
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:20,840
year above that or even before, That i'm hoping next,

1664
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:22,760
year if they don't make these, changes it won't be

1665
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:24,199
on my list next year Because i'm not gonna buy.

1666
01:12:24,199 --> 01:12:26,359
IT i buy it purely on what they do FOR.

1667
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:29,560
Gmo but this year the things they added to death,

1668
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:32,920
one just being online was a massive first time ever

1669
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:35,399
and a great thing because obviously we do the, stream

1670
01:12:35,399 --> 01:12:37,880
but playing with playing with The Gamming boys And David,

1671
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:40,720
sbubs it's just been tons of. Fun we've had a

1672
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:44,079
really good. Time they've created some good. Moments so online

1673
01:12:44,119 --> 01:12:47,399
was a massive. Thing. Uh the match, car which people

1674
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:49,279
might think is kind, of you, know, silly but you

1675
01:12:49,279 --> 01:12:51,119
could change the amount of matches you. Had before it

1676
01:12:51,199 --> 01:12:53,800
WAS i think three to. FOUR i think that was a,

1677
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:55,479
lot but now you can get to five to, six

1678
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:58,359
and Again i'm, like we've got so many. Wrestlers and

1679
01:12:58,399 --> 01:13:00,640
that's a great thing with THE, uh but is the

1680
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:04,239
download hub that the community creation hub where you can

1681
01:13:04,279 --> 01:13:06,640
download people are making wrestlers from all these. Companies there's

1682
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,800
so many people, NOW i want as much rosters as, possible,

1683
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,000
Right SO i THINK i can't remember all the change

1684
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:14,159
because now it's been a, Year BUT i REMEMBER i

1685
01:13:14,239 --> 01:13:17,760
probably had a list of let's say ten things right

1686
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:20,479
THAT i would like either added from the old games

1687
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:23,239
or kind of fixed upon with the new. Ones AND

1688
01:13:23,279 --> 01:13:25,079
i think they did like four or five this. Year

1689
01:13:25,079 --> 01:13:27,640
and even. ONLINE i thought they announced that they're doing.

1690
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:30,239
ONLINE i, thought, oh, really they're just getting that with

1691
01:13:30,319 --> 01:13:32,079
the base, game there's not going to be too, much

1692
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:34,439
and there, was AND i bought it and it was

1693
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:36,279
just such a good. Time it's for. People if you

1694
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:40,760
like that kind of managing, stars, contracts, injuries, money if

1695
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:42,800
you like being the boss in that sort of, sense

1696
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:45,159
you like the fantasy, booking it's the perfect. Game even

1697
01:13:45,319 --> 01:13:47,720
we had some fun with the guys that don't enjoy, wrestling, Right,

1698
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:50,800
like it's a really good. Time and, YEAH i say

1699
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:52,800
this every year WHERE i don't Think i'm buying next

1700
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:55,039
year BECAUSE i, GO i don't know if they're going

1701
01:13:55,119 --> 01:13:57,800
to make this, change you, know and especially with this,

1702
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:00,000
year because they spent or, not they did so much.

1703
01:14:00,199 --> 01:14:03,720
CHANGES i feel like twenty six might be a, break

1704
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:05,600
which would be kind of, disappointing but you never, know

1705
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:07,880
Maybe i'll be. There but that's my most played game,

1706
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:11,279
easily easily by, far because that's my most LIKE i

1707
01:14:11,319 --> 01:14:13,960
sit down and it's JUST i got some time, kill you,

1708
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:15,560
know four to five minut's, boom get a book of,

1709
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:18,399
show gonna make a match something like that and see what.

1710
01:14:18,399 --> 01:14:20,399
Happens you never, know you're gonna get that next email

1711
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:22,159
and you're gonna keep. Going so that's my most. Played

1712
01:14:22,399 --> 01:14:23,960
so that's why i'd be kind of almost like game

1713
01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:26,119
of the, year, right and then i'd say for my

1714
01:14:26,159 --> 01:14:28,560
actual the game of the. Year but it's tough BECAUSE

1715
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:31,680
i feel like AGAIN Ww Donkey, kong which is not

1716
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:34,239
my game of the. Year not many two new Games i've.

1717
01:14:34,279 --> 01:14:37,039
Played but the REASON i get something fine With Putting

1718
01:14:37,279 --> 01:14:39,840
Desk randing two, here which is my game in the,

1719
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:44,479
year is because it's still i'd say over. Delivered now

1720
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:46,199
as you can go back in the review we did two.

1721
01:14:46,239 --> 01:14:48,840
REVIEWS i still think there's some story aspects and a

1722
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:51,239
couple of meticular that really hurt that. Story and the

1723
01:14:51,279 --> 01:14:52,880
first ONE i was not a fan of. THEM i

1724
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:57,720
thought it was quite a, letdown, Actually but at the

1725
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:00,199
same TIME i kind of thought this is treading two

1726
01:15:00,279 --> 01:15:02,640
would be a bigger. LETDOWN i know It's, kajima but

1727
01:15:03,039 --> 01:15:05,720
at the same, POINT i remember, Being, okay you can

1728
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:07,439
do something in this, world but with these characters when

1729
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:10,159
they announced. It but that's that's a really tricky. Spot

1730
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:12,840
AND i think they did some great stuff there and

1731
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:14,960
almost like me And dylan talked, about it's not as

1732
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:16,800
hard as the first, one but being in that, world

1733
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:20,039
the world building they, do delivering more, packages the. Locations

1734
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:22,720
the number one to me is a top LIKE I

1735
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,199
i'll say it ranked high in Our Patroon top ten

1736
01:15:26,239 --> 01:15:28,760
games for. Me right two doesn't do, that but it's

1737
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:30,800
still a feat in. Itself AND i still love that.

1738
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:34,439
World love a lot of new. Characters Love, fragilest go Around,

1739
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:38,439
tons Love Detroit baker's. GOD i can't remember his villain's,

1740
01:15:38,479 --> 01:15:40,439
name but that was my villain the year for video,

1741
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:42,600
games even for. MOVIES i put him up there he was.

1742
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,279
Phenomenal so there's a lot of highs in that, game

1743
01:15:45,319 --> 01:15:47,199
and that's WHAT i think annoys me the. Most dudes

1744
01:15:47,239 --> 01:15:51,159
in the, story those things that, happened you could probably

1745
01:15:51,239 --> 01:15:53,600
just remove, them and the story pretty much stays the.

1746
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:56,359
Same it's a lot of like reveals or. Twists SOMETIMES

1747
01:15:56,359 --> 01:15:58,840
i feel for the sake of twist's, sake you, know

1748
01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:02,880
it's JUST i always like a good, twist but sometimes

1749
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:04,960
you can twist too much and it. Breaks and, uh

1750
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:08,520
destrain didn't, break but it definitely got to your. Point but,

1751
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:12,239
again that playloop is still. Great the characters themselves are still.

1752
01:16:12,239 --> 01:16:15,960
Great the world's great new, characters even those side characters

1753
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:17,560
like the pizza. Chef you, know like if you played the,

1754
01:16:17,560 --> 01:16:20,000
game you know about the pizza. Chef so, yeah there's

1755
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:22,479
lots of great stuff. There and, yeah so that would

1756
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:23,760
be my number, one and that would be the GAME

1757
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:27,000
i probably put the most time in AFTER. Wwe not

1758
01:16:27,119 --> 01:16:29,079
even the multiplayer games like A Hell divers are Called

1759
01:16:29,119 --> 01:16:32,600
dutey would shut Out Call Duty. RIP i think we've

1760
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:34,800
retired it and one time we got to draw it back.

1761
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:36,119
In but we used to play that a, Lot me

1762
01:16:36,199 --> 01:16:38,479
and the, boys and you, KNOW i have no shame of.

1763
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:40,720
Minting we do it on A we used. To at

1764
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:43,239
one point we did War zone and we one time

1765
01:16:43,319 --> 01:16:47,119
got to did we get double? DIGITS i can't. Remember

1766
01:16:47,119 --> 01:16:49,079
it was nine or ten games in a row on War.

1767
01:16:49,159 --> 01:16:51,239
Zone but even though we usually quote of three, wins

1768
01:16:51,319 --> 01:16:52,840
it would be a bad night if we got three.

1769
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:56,800
Wins this year we had a ten weekend streak of

1770
01:16:56,920 --> 01:16:59,600
not a single. Win it was, brutal AND i think

1771
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:01,680
we put down and Then Hell divers not a game

1772
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:03,239
in the, year but tons of fun with the, boys

1773
01:17:03,239 --> 01:17:05,800
so shut. That and then finally my last category of

1774
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:08,079
the you, know blast from the, past it's Too so

1775
01:17:08,199 --> 01:17:10,479
it's BECAUSE i said to. It i'm, like, well, really

1776
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:12,399
IF i was of some up my game the, year

1777
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,039
this would be. It But austin didn't come out this.

1778
01:17:15,159 --> 01:17:18,000
Year but there's two of these and it's on my.

1779
01:17:18,079 --> 01:17:20,159
Backlog AS i, SAID i made this more of a backlog.

1780
01:17:20,239 --> 01:17:22,920
Year next, Year i'm still trying as. Well there's lots

1781
01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:25,199
of new, games BUT i think next YEAR i only

1782
01:17:25,239 --> 01:17:28,479
Have i'm working on The Resident, evils BUT i really

1783
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:30,680
have a sequel to the. Game we're going to talk

1784
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:35,960
to you about another game and maybe maybe Like claire thirty. Three,

1785
01:17:36,079 --> 01:17:38,760
maybe But i'm keeping the backlog was pretty late next

1786
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:40,840
year because obviously there's so many big games next. YEAR

1787
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:43,159
i want to focus on that and for the. Reviews

1788
01:17:43,239 --> 01:17:46,359
but so it's a two for where the first Game

1789
01:17:46,359 --> 01:17:49,079
i've talked about BEFORE i reviewed. IT i this is

1790
01:17:49,199 --> 01:17:52,600
only one of the only THINGS i did WHEN i

1791
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:54,960
was off with the babies From december To february last,

1792
01:17:55,039 --> 01:17:57,600
year BECAUSE i tried to, write but writing was LIKE

1793
01:17:57,880 --> 01:17:59,399
i need to be in a certain headspace AND i

1794
01:17:59,399 --> 01:18:01,119
don't like to stop and start too much Unless i'm

1795
01:18:01,119 --> 01:18:02,640
just finishing a scene or touching up or If i'm

1796
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:04,640
editing a script right that's, fine but When i'm in,

1797
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:06,640
IT i like a fully case sit. DOWN i get

1798
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:08,840
locked in work. GAME i can pause right away for

1799
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:11,319
the most, part elm. Ring that's another THING i couldn't

1800
01:18:11,319 --> 01:18:13,159
play with the. Babies that's WHY i never got back into.

1801
01:18:13,199 --> 01:18:17,279
It maybe when they're older and. Stuff so, anyway so the,

1802
01:18:17,279 --> 01:18:19,960
backlog this is the game THAT i was. PLAYING I

1803
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:22,600
i've always wanted. To don't know WHY i had a

1804
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:25,239
three sixty didn't get around to, it and that's alan.

1805
01:18:25,319 --> 01:18:27,439
Wake but it's been on the list for, years LIKE

1806
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:30,239
i think they raided some sort of, remaster not. REMIX

1807
01:18:30,319 --> 01:18:31,840
i think it was just a remaster in THE ps

1808
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,720
Four xbox one, era never gone on, There And i'd

1809
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:38,000
always heard, that hey it's a it's a anyone that

1810
01:18:38,039 --> 01:18:41,000
played it and knowed, ME i guess or r ip

1811
01:18:41,119 --> 01:18:43,319
if you knowed me or knew. Me but anyone that

1812
01:18:43,399 --> 01:18:45,960
knew me or knows me was, Like, oh this is

1813
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:48,000
a this is A traves. Game this is something that

1814
01:18:48,039 --> 01:18:51,560
you really would. Enjoy this is something that is just

1815
01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:53,800
right up your alley BECAUSE i like weird. Stuff austin

1816
01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:56,560
people compare this game to like A Twin peaks and

1817
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,199
those type of. GENRE i like the trippy. Stuff, OBVIOUSLY

1818
01:19:00,039 --> 01:19:02,239
uf can get a little question questionable if you kind

1819
01:19:02,239 --> 01:19:04,560
of almost like the twist go too trippy or you're

1820
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:07,800
just you're throwing in a bunch of stuff that eventually you, Go,

1821
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:09,279
okay it doesn't make sense or it's too much of

1822
01:19:09,319 --> 01:19:11,439
a mess to. Enjoy BUT I i like a little,

1823
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:13,560
messiness AND i still like that BECAUSE i know there's

1824
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:15,560
some people that don't like the idea of things left

1825
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:17,960
open or you're trying to figure stuff out for yourself

1826
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:20,239
and go, OH i want the story told to. Me,

1827
01:19:20,319 --> 01:19:27,000

God i'm Missing it's, like, uh what's the other? WORD

1830
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:36,640
luck with that in Metit. UH i like things that

1831
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:41,399
are left up in air and things that you can

1832
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:44,119
look at from multiple, angles And alwick has some moments of.

1833
01:19:44,159 --> 01:19:46,920
That but, NO i love the. WORLD i love the,

1834
01:19:47,039 --> 01:19:49,720

CHARACTER i like the twist and turns to do. There

1836
01:19:52,279 --> 01:19:54,760
the soundtrack is actually really good, too like some of

1837
01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:56,880
those songs that would end at that. CHAPTER i like

1838
01:19:56,960 --> 01:19:59,039
the chapter format a. LOT i like when games just

1839
01:19:59,319 --> 01:20:01,640
have like All the chapter format is a lot. Bigger

1840
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:03,279
NOW i feel like that's. Happening i'm gonna talk about

1841
01:20:03,319 --> 01:20:06,760
my next game here. Too But, NO i really enjoyed

1842
01:20:07,399 --> 01:20:11,239
everything about, it the, setup the, moments the twists and.

1843
01:20:11,279 --> 01:20:13,800
TURNS i love The asylum part a. Lot So i'm

1844
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:15,640
really excited For two Two, days one of the games

1845
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:19,079
that's on my list for a, backlog So i'm excited

1846
01:20:19,079 --> 01:20:21,079
to get. There but, yeah two was or, Sorry alan

1847
01:20:21,119 --> 01:20:24,119
weink one was kind of EVERYTHING i was hoping for and. More,

1848
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:27,000
yeah like the enemy types pretty, basic But i'm not

1849
01:20:27,119 --> 01:20:31,479
somebody that, Like i'm, fine like most the enemy types

1850
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:33,399
are shining a light on the villain and shoot them

1851
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:35,319
right Like i'm if you can get the. Movie As

1852
01:20:35,359 --> 01:20:38,439
i've said, BEFORE i feel between first person shooters and

1853
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:41,039
some online games and other, Stuff i've really opened up

1854
01:20:41,039 --> 01:20:43,920
my gaming side as far as what we've done the

1855
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:46,079
past ten, years WHERE i was just primary just single

1856
01:20:46,119 --> 01:20:48,359
player story. Guy, right if a game was first PERSON

1857
01:20:48,399 --> 01:20:50,520
i would completely write that. Off Where Anya jones was

1858
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:53,479
my game the year last. YEAR i still enjoy, them

1859
01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:56,079
but that's just my. Preference but NOW i just feel, Like,

1860
01:20:56,199 --> 01:21:00,000
Okay i've opened up some some different spots of traps

1861
01:21:00,079 --> 01:21:01,800
mind and, gaming which is. Great but at the same,

1862
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:05,279
TIME i still my go to genres just single, player

1863
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:08,399
third person adventure and especially. Horror i'd have to, think

1864
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:11,239
is like before the superhero genres, start and even then

1865
01:21:11,279 --> 01:21:13,800
Now i'd feel like it's above. It horror genre is

1866
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:16,880
my favor and FILM i feel like it might be

1867
01:21:17,119 --> 01:21:20,079
in video, GAMES i don't. KNOW i do like a

1868
01:21:20,079 --> 01:21:23,000
good action adventure Like Indiana jones On. CHARGE i want

1869
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,359
to do a backlog, eventually those type of games where

1870
01:21:25,399 --> 01:21:28,319
you're solving, puzzles doing. Things so the next game has

1871
01:21:28,399 --> 01:21:30,439
that as. Well BUT i think horror because you kind

1872
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:32,520
of get, everything get the, scares you get the, twists

1873
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:34,279
you get the, weirdness you can get the action if you,

1874
01:21:34,319 --> 01:21:37,359
want so down't. Wake that's HOW i started the year

1875
01:21:37,399 --> 01:21:39,720
off my first, game and HOW i ended the. YEAR

1876
01:21:40,279 --> 01:21:43,119
i did because we told this in The Game. AWARDS

1877
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:46,600
i am now playing. Through at least my game plan

1878
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,800
is to play a bunch Of Resident evils Before Resident evil,

1879
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:52,159
nine because that trait sold. Me you go back to

1880
01:21:52,199 --> 01:21:55,359
that cast Seeing Leon kennedy from behind doing a spin,

1881
01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:58,359
KICK i was, like you know, WHAT i got transported right.

1882
01:21:58,399 --> 01:22:00,880
Back And i've not beat four. Yet i'm very close

1883
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:02,600
to beating for. SOMETHING i can tell about, that but

1884
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:04,159
the other one and STILL i would have it, There

1885
01:22:04,159 --> 01:22:05,720
And i'm not gonna do a deep dive BECAUSE i

1886
01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:07,960
will be on a side quest talking With dylan soon about.

1887
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:09,479
IT i think we're gonna try and do a rain,

1888
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:12,800
cast But Resident evil two would be not any like, That,

1889
01:22:13,399 --> 01:22:15,319
LIKE i think it'd be on par with that way

1890
01:22:15,319 --> 01:22:18,279
because that was something. New Resident evil two was the

1891
01:22:18,399 --> 01:22:20,880
perfect nostallager because we all had that with, shows movies

1892
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:22,720
or video games where you go but you have something

1893
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:24,279
in your, mind. RIGHT i can't. Remember there's a movie

1894
01:22:24,279 --> 01:22:26,439
this year THAT i watched that was one THAT i

1895
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:28,399
Finally it's one of those WHERE i didn't know what it,

1896
01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:30,640
was figured it, out found out, like oh it's this

1897
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:33,439
to ME a, watch but, huh this was much scarier

1898
01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:38,119
or better quality left in my. Mind, Right but WHEN

1899
01:22:38,159 --> 01:22:40,760
i returned to, this, awesome this is completely, different right

1900
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:42,600
because they remake the. GAME i even showed the girls

1901
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:43,760
because they saw a little bit of, it AND i

1902
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:48,119
remembered Even Resident evil one it. WAS i think they

1903
01:22:48,159 --> 01:22:50,880
did like AN hd, remaster but that was. TOUGH i was, like,

1904
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:53,720
man kids did have it a lot harder back than

1905
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:55,279
like they got it so much easier now for the

1906
01:22:55,319 --> 01:22:57,880
video games they, get, Right but seeing that top down,

1907
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:00,960
view how block you, move the way you get into each,

1908
01:23:01,039 --> 01:23:03,600
room where you walk over in the, transitions the camera

1909
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:05,800
from a bird's eye, view where this plays like a

1910
01:23:07,079 --> 01:23:10,039
just regular third person, game there is a you, KNOW

1911
01:23:11,079 --> 01:23:14,039
i don't, know something fun and a niche about the old.

1912
01:23:14,039 --> 01:23:16,840
ONES i get why people might love, that BUT I

1913
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:18,840
i love them back in the, day but playing them,

1914
01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:20,319
NOW i was not a fan of, it SO i

1915
01:23:20,359 --> 01:23:22,399
NEVER i was always scited for these, remakes AND i

1916
01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:23,880
own a bunch of them and always give them from,

1917
01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:26,000
deals but it was always like a backlog, thing, Right

1918
01:23:26,039 --> 01:23:27,840
And i'm happy that nine kind of kicked me in

1919
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:30,840
the butt Because residue will. Two that's that perfect nostalgias

1920
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:32,359
talking about that you can only do with a, remake

1921
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:34,279
or maybe if you're, lucky if you go back and,

1922
01:23:34,319 --> 01:23:36,119
play that holds. Up BUT i feel most of the

1923
01:23:36,119 --> 01:23:40,159
time a ten times that does not, happen, right because the,

1924
01:23:40,199 --> 01:23:42,680
REMAKE i got to go in and experience all the.

1925
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:45,880
Nostalgia you're seeing, characters store, Beats oh go find, them.

1926
01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:49,359
Medallions i'm literally being transported to WHEN i was a

1927
01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:51,560
kid PLAYING ps two or playing Game cube with A

1928
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:55,479
revenue Four LIKE i was. RIGHT i could remember me

1929
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:58,920
in my, bedroom the window, there like the POSTERS i.

1930
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:00,600
HAD i was, like there's just certain things of the

1931
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:02,399
character ask me to be, like oh my. God and

1932
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:04,479
these are games that it's like a lot of movies

1933
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:07,199
WHEN i, played WHEN i played or watched them in that,

1934
01:24:07,279 --> 01:24:09,760
ERA i have memories AND i guess remember, being, OH

1935
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:11,560
i love, them like even though in MYSELF i remember

1936
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:14,560
being a Massive Resident evil. FAN i suck with the

1937
01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:17,560
franchise from about one to five and, Six but five

1938
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:19,239
and six because they got way more on the action,

1939
01:24:19,319 --> 01:24:21,119
SIDE i kind of. Bounced and THEN i never consider

1940
01:24:21,199 --> 01:24:24,159
myself a big. Fan LIKE i didn't love those movies,

1941
01:24:24,199 --> 01:24:26,239
really SO i started watching those which you, know, know

1942
01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:29,600
we'll talk about them. Next but LIKE I i it

1943
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:31,560
was nice because it was like a piece of my

1944
01:24:32,039 --> 01:24:37,279
fandom and video games that was recaptured and brought, back you,

1945
01:24:37,319 --> 01:24:39,720
know thanks to the team and those remix because, like

1946
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:41,319
it's so great to get them from the top. DOWN

1947
01:24:41,359 --> 01:24:43,640
i hope they do That Resident evil. One but and

1948
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:45,680
not only, that it's a fun. Game it's a little

1949
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:48,239
light on. Stories there's a couple of things That i'm

1950
01:24:48,239 --> 01:24:50,600
gonna wait till we get into a side quest to talk.

1951
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:54,399
About there's some things WHERE i, wish, uh it's not

1952
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:57,119
a Like Allan wake technically to me is like a

1953
01:24:57,159 --> 01:25:00,760
ten and at ten For travis rating, right wouldn't be it'd

1954
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:02,239
be like in the. Nine there's a couple of things

1955
01:25:02,279 --> 01:25:05,000
that'd still even change with the. Remake but, man was

1956
01:25:05,039 --> 01:25:07,119
it tons of fun AND i just made me remember

1957
01:25:07,159 --> 01:25:08,880
even though thinking about the old, ONE i was, like all,

1958
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:10,880
RIGHT i remember WHY i loved these, games especially as

1959
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:14,800
a young and, right but this that that, GAME i absolutely.

1960
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:17,079

01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:22,239
Speaker 1: HAVEN'T i don't. Know let's trying to break the fourth.

1985
01:26:22,319 --> 01:26:25,039
WALL i have an, idea BUT i don't. KNOW i

1986
01:26:25,079 --> 01:26:26,640
don't know what he's picked, Yet So i'll have to

1987
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:28,800
listen to that BEFORE i post this. Episode just make

1988
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:30,760
sure he doesn't say anything crazy about me and make

1989
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:33,239
up some rumor THAT i just you, know publicly. Post you.

1990
01:26:33,279 --> 01:26:35,760
Speaker 3: Know, yeah that's a good point, actually.

1991
01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:39,079
Speaker 1: Which's been known to. Do but, yeah let's uh, ALL

1992
01:26:39,239 --> 01:26:40,960
i guess the Way i'll do this is all showed

1993
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:43,319
out my three and two and then we'll go into

1994
01:26:43,359 --> 01:26:45,279
your game there and then we'll do we'll close it

1995
01:26:45,319 --> 01:26:46,880
out with. Mine that's probably nice way to do. This

1996
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:50,439
so this this is actually similar to last, year where

1997
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:52,399
again with my, tiers the WAY i break this stuff.

1998
01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:55,159
Down last, YEAR i had like a very solid top

1999
01:26:55,279 --> 01:26:57,199
three tier AND i WAS u f, fifty it Was

2000
01:26:57,239 --> 01:26:59,880
blatro and it Was, astrobot AND i was, like, oh

2001
01:27:00,079 --> 01:27:02,039
these are the god tier. Games he's like all timers

2002
01:27:02,119 --> 01:27:04,079
going on my top one hundred list and then the

2003
01:27:04,119 --> 01:27:06,239
stuff below that still like these, games but you, know

2004
01:27:06,319 --> 01:27:08,960
it was, like clearly there's a, difference and that's definitely

2005
01:27:09,039 --> 01:27:11,000
the case this year as. Well it's just funny it's

2006
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:13,640
the same number top. Three my top three is like

2007
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:17,039
solidify way higher than the rest of this stuff on

2008
01:27:17,079 --> 01:27:19,720
This Sorry Donkey Kong, bonanza but there's a steep drop

2009
01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:22,600
off between you and my number three, pick which Is

2010
01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:26,560
Hollow Night Silk, song Which I'm i'm so happy that

2011
01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:29,279
this is on my list BECAUSE i played the first,

2012
01:27:29,319 --> 01:27:31,119
game never beat. It it was, like, yeah it was all.

2013
01:27:31,199 --> 01:27:33,560
RIGHT i don't really like Metroid vane as, usually it's

2014
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:35,680
not really my, genre and so that's Why i'm just

2015
01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:39,479
so thrilled THAT i can now SAY i love A

2016
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:41,239
Hollow night game like everyone else says they love A

2017
01:27:41,239 --> 01:27:44,239
Hollow night. GAME i feel like, similarly WHEN i finally

2018
01:27:44,319 --> 01:27:46,600
went back years later and Played god Of war twenty

2019
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:48,840
eighteen AND i was, LIKE i don't really like this.

2020
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:50,439
Game that kind of. SUCKS i WISH i could be

2021
01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:51,760
there with everyone else who loves this. Game and THEN

2022
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:53,760
i Played ragnarrock AND i Loved. Ragnrock i'm, like, yes,

2023
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:56,159
OKAY i could feel what everyone else is. Feeling NOW

2024
01:27:56,159 --> 01:27:59,359
i can understand, that and so that's definitely a similar.

2025
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:02,159
VIBE i how here With Silk, song and this game is,

2026
01:28:02,159 --> 01:28:04,199
amazing AND i did not similar To blueprints in a.

2027
01:28:04,239 --> 01:28:06,039
WAY i didn't do everything in, here because after you

2028
01:28:06,159 --> 01:28:08,520
like beat the, game there's the stuff you can do

2029
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:11,520
to go into this whole like new, act and there's

2030
01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:14,319
like it's way, harder way more, bought like a couple more,

2031
01:28:14,359 --> 01:28:16,640
bosses new, areas AND i did really want to see that,

2032
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:19,319
stuff just to see what that those new areas look.

2033
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:21,680
Like but the challenge was just a bit too. MUCH

2034
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:23,000
i was, LIKE i think this IS i Think i'm

2035
01:28:23,039 --> 01:28:24,880
gonna hate this game IF i keep playing. It so,

2036
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:26,960
AGAIN i was happy to put it. Down BUT i

2037
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:29,560
think that was like forty fifty hours or, Something so

2038
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:31,359
it's not LIKE i just you, know cut out a

2039
01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:32,960
huge chunk of the game or. ANYTHING i still played

2040
01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:35,720
a fuck ton of this, thing and, YEAH i think you.

2041
01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:37,439
Know my goal with it was LIKE i gotta play

2042
01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:39,000
through this, thing AND i gotta not put it down

2043
01:28:39,039 --> 01:28:41,680
because metroidvanias the moment you put it down and you

2044
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:43,399
forget where you were going or what you were. Doing

2045
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:46,159
that's when you're. Screwed and also with difficult games like,

2046
01:28:46,239 --> 01:28:48,600
this which you know has very, dark soulsy, combat you

2047
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:50,640
just gotta you gotta plug through, it you gotta fight

2048
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:53,920
through the difficult. Stuff and, MAN i love this game

2049
01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:56,560
from start to. Finish there are a couple zones that

2050
01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:59,319
kind of bothered, me the classic Poison swamp very souls

2051
01:28:59,399 --> 01:29:01,800
like again in that, way and like an icy zone

2052
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:04,039
THAT i wasn't too thrilled. With but this game has

2053
01:29:04,159 --> 01:29:07,119
like plot twists in terms of story stuff that's, happening

2054
01:29:07,199 --> 01:29:09,399
but more so just like you get teleported to a

2055
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:11,720
new area and something crazy is happening and that always

2056
01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:13,520
blew my. Mind and the way it connects with the previous,

2057
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:16,640
map the way the inter just the way this world

2058
01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:19,640
is pieced, together and all the different hidden pathways that

2059
01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:22,760
connect and shortcuts you, find or like falling into an

2060
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:24,760
area you've been to, before or just in the dark

2061
01:29:24,760 --> 01:29:27,079
souls the way like accidentally happening upon an area that

2062
01:29:27,119 --> 01:29:29,000
you've been to, before and like opening the gating being like,

2063
01:29:29,039 --> 01:29:31,720
whoa these two worlds are connected now NOW i can

2064
01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:35,079
just like save so much time getting. Around Side quests

2065
01:29:35,079 --> 01:29:36,720
are really great in this, game really. FUN i spent

2066
01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:38,640
a lot of time doing some of that crazy side

2067
01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:41,399
quest challenges that you can do in. Here the music

2068
01:29:42,279 --> 01:29:46,640
unbelievable soundtrack Like lord of The rings inspired like crazy

2069
01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:51,520
mega epic fantasy tales going on. Here combat is super.

2070
01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:55,279
Good you. KNOW i don't typically love these TWO d

2071
01:29:55,479 --> 01:29:58,560
souls like combat, games but this one really really worked for.

2072
01:29:58,640 --> 01:30:00,279
Me AND i think part of it is like the

2073
01:30:00,319 --> 01:30:03,199
customization you have with your. Character you, know early on

2074
01:30:03,279 --> 01:30:05,479
in the, game when you do like a down attack

2075
01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:07,159
in the, air it's one of those things that like

2076
01:30:07,520 --> 01:30:09,880
like dashes you like into the, ground AND i hate

2077
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:12,800
them in ciner and, Cinema, MAN i hate that. STUFF

2078
01:30:13,039 --> 01:30:14,760
i hate those kind of. MOVES i don't want to

2079
01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:16,680
be thrown to the. Ground and when any character that

2080
01:30:16,720 --> 01:30:19,359
has in, SMASH i instantly just like those characters a lot.

2081
01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:22,159
More but eventually you unlock like a different crest is

2082
01:30:22,199 --> 01:30:23,840
what it's, called and it removes, that and then you

2083
01:30:23,880 --> 01:30:25,520
get like a regular down attack that you can like

2084
01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:27,520
bounce with that kind of like from the Original Holi,

2085
01:30:27,640 --> 01:30:29,399
night AND i was, like, man this is my. THING

2086
01:30:29,479 --> 01:30:31,399
i love this but even with, THAT i would still

2087
01:30:31,439 --> 01:30:34,039
switch it up sometimes just to try different, builds using

2088
01:30:34,079 --> 01:30:36,640
different things like. THAT i even had to grind sometimes

2089
01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:38,439
in this game to level, up AND i actually didn't mind.

2090
01:30:38,479 --> 01:30:41,920
THAT i found some, fun interesting grind, paths really cool,

2091
01:30:42,159 --> 01:30:44,520
bosses like really well designed in terms of the, style

2092
01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:47,319
in terms of the theming behind, them but then also

2093
01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:50,359
the gameplay mechanics of, it and a couple that really

2094
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:52,039
REALLY i was beating my head against the wall to

2095
01:30:52,079 --> 01:30:54,960
finally beat, them but they felt really good WHEN i did.

2096
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:56,800
So only a couple WAS i actually pissed off, of

2097
01:30:56,880 --> 01:30:59,359
like these hip boxes are stupid AND i was like giguinely.

2098
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:01,439
Salty but for the most part that was not the.

2099
01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:05,520
Case and, yeah it's just such a, weird, dour strange,

2100
01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:09,119
world BUT I i just loved. It i'm so glad

2101
01:31:09,119 --> 01:31:11,000
THAT i can be A hollow nighte fan. Now and

2102
01:31:11,079 --> 01:31:12,600
this doesn't actually make me want to go back and

2103
01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:14,199
like finally beat holl Of night. One i'm just, like,

2104
01:31:14,279 --> 01:31:15,800
YEAH i like silk. Song i'm a more of a

2105
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:17,439
silk song, guy AND i can just live with. That

2106
01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:20,159
so shout out to The Hollow Nite Silk Song yeah

2107
01:31:20,239 --> 01:31:22,920
number three on my list. SOLIDLY i really really loved it.

2108
01:31:24,239 --> 01:31:26,960
Speaker 3: Nice, Yeah i'm glad that just because there was so

2109
01:31:27,079 --> 01:31:29,000
much anticipation for that game and it just being the

2110
01:31:29,039 --> 01:31:32,840
sequel of a very well known. TITLE i just remember

2111
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:34,920
seeing some of the reviews. There it just seems like

2112
01:31:35,039 --> 01:31:38,199
the general reception is that in the fact they did,

2113
01:31:38,239 --> 01:31:40,159
it you, know it's just that. Good i've seen some

2114
01:31:40,279 --> 01:31:43,439
gameplay and it does look really. Fun Just i'm not

2115
01:31:43,479 --> 01:31:45,640
really attached to the, series SO i haven't really raced

2116
01:31:45,680 --> 01:31:48,239
to get there, clearly yeah the lack there of my

2117
01:31:48,279 --> 01:31:50,560
twenty twenty five, games but definitely want to try and

2118
01:31:50,560 --> 01:31:51,600
give it a, try and.

2119
01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:56,399
Speaker 1: Nonetheless, yeah, Absolutely and then my number two is a

2120
01:31:56,560 --> 01:31:59,039
number two in a series and that is going to

2121
01:31:59,079 --> 01:32:05,640
be stranding. Too on the, beach WHICH i REALLY i

2122
01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:07,760
really tossed this one around man like it was at

2123
01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:10,640
three at. TIMES i debated is this my game of

2124
01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:13,159
the year at, Times and it's a weird one BECAUSE

2125
01:32:13,199 --> 01:32:15,199
i feel LIKE i could almost say more THINGS i

2126
01:32:15,319 --> 01:32:17,560
dislike about this game THAN i like about, them because

2127
01:32:17,760 --> 01:32:19,680
in many ways it did let me down and is,

2128
01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:22,680
disappointing to be, honest as a sequel and as such

2129
01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:25,239
a big fan Like Death stranding ONE i think was

2130
01:32:25,319 --> 01:32:28,239
MY i don't think it was my game of. YEAR

2131
01:32:28,239 --> 01:32:29,479
i think it was my number two in like twenty.

2132
01:32:29,560 --> 01:32:32,239
Nineteen SO i love love that first, one so, WEIRDLY

2133
01:32:32,279 --> 01:32:34,600
i guess this is my number two, again just like

2134
01:32:34,680 --> 01:32:35,239
it was back.

2135
01:32:35,119 --> 01:32:35,920
Speaker 3: With always the Silver.

2136
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:39,560
Speaker 1: Medal, yeah, always never the, pride always the, bridesmaid. Whatever

2137
01:32:41,399 --> 01:32:42,920
SO i think just to get the negative by the,

2138
01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:46,000
WAY i, mean the story for me pretty. Disappointing some

2139
01:32:46,159 --> 01:32:48,640
of the plot twists and character STUFF i just don't

2140
01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:51,600
think is like super duper well. DONE i, MEAN i

2141
01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:55,239
really like the characters and the performances for the most,

2142
01:32:55,279 --> 01:32:57,880
part with a couple, exceptions BUT i think just generally

2143
01:32:58,119 --> 01:33:00,439
the story and what it's doing just doesn't really worked for,

2144
01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:02,279
me especially like compared to how much a lot of

2145
01:33:02,359 --> 01:33:04,239
stuff worked for me in the first. Game of, course

2146
01:33:04,279 --> 01:33:05,800
a lot of this stuff in This stranding world is

2147
01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:10,000
just like weird and obscure and, strange AND i like strange.

2148
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:12,159
Stuff BUT i think that this one didn't really make

2149
01:33:12,239 --> 01:33:14,079
sense for me in a lot of, ways in like

2150
01:33:14,239 --> 01:33:16,359
just terms of like character motivations and that kind of

2151
01:33:16,479 --> 01:33:19,600
level of. It AND i also feel like the game

2152
01:33:19,720 --> 01:33:21,640
is a bit too easy and that's even after me

2153
01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:23,760
bumping it up like the hardest difficulty and really wanting

2154
01:33:23,800 --> 01:33:25,600
to engage with a lot of the cool mechanics that.

2155
01:33:25,720 --> 01:33:28,600
Exist BUT i just feel like the game wasn't pushing

2156
01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:31,159
me to really get creative like the first one, did

2157
01:33:31,439 --> 01:33:33,119
even though there's like a ton of new options in

2158
01:33:33,159 --> 01:33:35,640
this game just because of the way it was. Designed

2159
01:33:35,680 --> 01:33:37,159
so those are a couple of the downsides for. Me

2160
01:33:37,239 --> 01:33:40,159
but like the reality, IS i spent a ridiculous amount

2161
01:33:40,159 --> 01:33:41,880
of time in this. GAME i think like one hundred

2162
01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:45,199
hours or. SOMETHING i got The platinum, trophy and you,

2163
01:33:45,279 --> 01:33:48,119
know getting that platinum trophy sucked like that last twenty

2164
01:33:48,159 --> 01:33:51,479
hours of that is, awful just like monotonous doing deliveries

2165
01:33:51,520 --> 01:33:53,600
the same things over and over, again not really seeing new.

2166
01:33:53,680 --> 01:33:55,920
Stuff you get a couple like late game quests on

2167
01:33:56,000 --> 01:33:58,439
lack if you do, that which weren't like the most exciting,

2168
01:33:58,560 --> 01:34:01,600
quests BUT I i still like did it, anyway which

2169
01:34:01,760 --> 01:34:04,039
like made me sour on it a. Bit but even

2170
01:34:04,079 --> 01:34:05,720
with all this stuff, said, like it still is my

2171
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:08,720
number two BECAUSE i JUST i love how weird this game.

2172
01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:11,920
IS i LOVE i love the, WORLD i love being

2173
01:34:12,079 --> 01:34:14,119
in this, world and so even IF i wasn't enjoying

2174
01:34:14,319 --> 01:34:17,039
like some of the ending grind of getting that trophy

2175
01:34:17,880 --> 01:34:19,920
to get like all the you, know level five tier

2176
01:34:20,079 --> 01:34:23,840
for all the different, PREPPERS i still just wanted to

2177
01:34:23,880 --> 01:34:27,279
be in that, world driving, around hiking, up popping on my,

2178
01:34:27,359 --> 01:34:30,399
bike planning out, routes getting, efficiency building up my, highways

2179
01:34:31,640 --> 01:34:33,560
all that. STUFF i still JUST i just love the

2180
01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:35,199
VIBES i like being in this. World SO i think

2181
01:34:35,239 --> 01:34:38,279
that's ultimately why it climbs up to that number two.

2182
01:34:38,359 --> 01:34:41,039
Spot and, YEAH i really like the social. Mechanics many

2183
01:34:41,079 --> 01:34:44,479
TIMES i bumped Into travis's bridges or other uh you,

2184
01:34:44,520 --> 01:34:46,880
know bat battery towers and things like, that or just

2185
01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:48,840
other other players of, course but it always tickled me

2186
01:34:48,880 --> 01:34:52,119
WHEN i would See travis's stuff specifically in. There and,

2187
01:34:52,199 --> 01:34:54,600
yeah just some very memorable, moments some really great cut,

2188
01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:56,520
same some silly, stuff a lot of funny stuff in,

2189
01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:59,279
here which uh which is always always a plus as.

2190
01:34:59,319 --> 01:35:01,520
Well so, yeah even though it let me down in some,

2191
01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:04,079
WAYS i still had a grand time with that stranding.

2192
01:35:04,119 --> 01:35:06,039
Two definitely not as good as the original for, me

2193
01:35:06,079 --> 01:35:08,000
even if it's in a similar spot on my top ten.

2194
01:35:08,079 --> 01:35:11,560
List but, YEAH i had a great time with That

2195
01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:14,199
stranding two on The. BEACH i was definitely on that

2196
01:35:14,279 --> 01:35:17,319
beach big. Time and, yeah SO i think you will

2197
01:35:17,399 --> 01:35:19,359
enjoy this game as well when you finally finally get

2198
01:35:19,399 --> 01:35:19,680
around to.

2199
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:24,199
Speaker 3: It hell, yeah good roster of the actors in there, Too, like,

2200
01:35:24,319 --> 01:35:25,399
yeah what's the big?

2201
01:35:25,439 --> 01:35:25,720
Speaker 4: One L?

2202
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:29,000
Speaker 3: Fanning, right she's in there. Now cool new faces THAT

2203
01:35:29,039 --> 01:35:31,399
i would have. RECOGNIZED i feel like they also just

2204
01:35:31,479 --> 01:35:33,720
get some actors That i've never, heard like seen, before

2205
01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:35,760
but they just seem familiar and they just kill. It,

2206
01:35:36,479 --> 01:35:37,880
yeah a lot Of Die.

2207
01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:40,600
Speaker 1: HARTMAN i think that's one of, them IF i remember,

2208
01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:43,359
correctly those tips of. Guys, yeah definitely a few of

2209
01:35:43,399 --> 01:35:47,960
those for. Sure, yeah shout outs To Death stranding and, Yeah,

2210
01:35:48,039 --> 01:35:52,359
kirklam what is your twenty twenty five game of the.

2211
01:35:52,560 --> 01:35:55,680
Speaker 3: Year, Yeah, so sticking to the theme of kind of

2212
01:35:55,720 --> 01:35:57,920
WHAT i had at the start of the, year couch

2213
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:01,439
Co OP i. There it's also kind of similar to

2214
01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:03,960
Your Hollow night, example where you just had like a

2215
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:06,319
lot of anticipation for it and it was, like, man

2216
01:36:06,359 --> 01:36:08,279
if this doesn't, hit this is gonna be very. Disappointing

2217
01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:13,600
or fortunately it wasn't the case With Split fiction From

2218
01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:17,039
Haze Lights, Studios shane AND i were very much looking

2219
01:36:17,039 --> 01:36:20,079
forward to this game and did not disappoint by any.

2220
01:36:20,159 --> 01:36:23,359
Means really really loved the. STORY i love the characters in.

2221
01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:26,199
It the gameplay was. Phenomenal if you played any other

2222
01:36:26,279 --> 01:36:27,560
of The Hayes, lights like you kind of know what

2223
01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:30,760
you're getting. TO i guess specifically it takes two where

2224
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:33,520
like there's just so many kind of was talking about,

2225
01:36:33,520 --> 01:36:35,880
earlier how like you have your main game, mechanics but

2226
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:38,039
like within, it they just have like really unique like

2227
01:36:38,079 --> 01:36:40,359
little mini games in, there and this one definitely has. That.

2228
01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:44,119
ALSO i just also love like the worlds that we go,

2229
01:36:44,239 --> 01:36:46,760
to whether it's the sci fi or the. FANTASY i

2230
01:36:46,920 --> 01:36:48,640
was a lot more excited for the fantasy, elements BUT

2231
01:36:48,640 --> 01:36:50,119
i was kind of surprised how MUCH i ended up

2232
01:36:50,159 --> 01:36:51,960
liking of the sci fi. Stuff you kind of go

2233
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:54,640
to like a Neo tokyo level that's a that's a

2234
01:36:54,720 --> 01:36:58,039
big it's a big level in the. Game and, yeah

2235
01:36:58,119 --> 01:37:00,279
it was just really really. PHENOMENAL i think by the,

2236
01:37:00,399 --> 01:37:02,560
end like when you when you do the last, boss

2237
01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:05,439
it was, like, okay, yeah not my favorite like big

2238
01:37:05,600 --> 01:37:09,680
bad finale type villain take, takeout but just the journey

2239
01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:11,880
in and of itself was just amazing that, like, yeah,

2240
01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:14,319
okay that was that was a great. Time and there's

2241
01:37:14,319 --> 01:37:16,960
even some side missions that we haven't even gone back and,

2242
01:37:17,079 --> 01:37:19,000
finished so there is still more content for us to

2243
01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:21,960
get in. There and we should know that we we

2244
01:37:22,039 --> 01:37:23,640
both have a bunch of days off here over the,

2245
01:37:23,680 --> 01:37:25,479
holidays it'd be a good time to jump in, there

2246
01:37:26,239 --> 01:37:28,119
especially if you Know january we're gonna be playing a

2247
01:37:28,119 --> 01:37:30,800
lot of cultual. Lamb we won't have time for something like.

2248
01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:34,720
This but, no it's amazing and Definitely Hayes Light studios

2249
01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:37,239
man like they. Are they're they're on my radar, now

2250
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:40,560
like anytime they have another game that that, releases even

2251
01:37:40,600 --> 01:37:44,279
if it's not like they had a way, out was that? Them?

2252
01:37:44,560 --> 01:37:48,239
Right that was another co op game that not really

2253
01:37:48,279 --> 01:37:51,600
one THAT i was too interested in compared to Like

2254
01:37:51,720 --> 01:37:55,079
It takes two or Or Split fiction. Here shay really

2255
01:37:55,119 --> 01:37:57,319
didn't like the animation Of It Takes, too WHICH i

2256
01:37:57,359 --> 01:37:59,239
was really disappointed about BECAUSE i was just really excited

2257
01:37:59,279 --> 01:38:02,560
to play that with. Her uh maybe maybe she'll come

2258
01:38:02,600 --> 01:38:04,600
around and, uh well we'll be able to get through.

2259
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:07,079
It this is really cool story and really cool just

2260
01:38:07,159 --> 01:38:10,800
way to tell, yeah to tell their story and just

2261
01:38:11,079 --> 01:38:13,760
JUST i feel like there's a lot of layers to each.

2262
01:38:13,920 --> 01:38:16,800
Character it's not like one is just like you have

2263
01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:19,159
Your mario who's just like the main. Character the whole

2264
01:38:19,199 --> 01:38:21,119
story revolves around, them and then you Got luigi's the

2265
01:38:21,159 --> 01:38:23,199
side side. CHARACTER i feel like they both have a

2266
01:38:23,279 --> 01:38:26,520
lot of good juice in. There and, yeah, no it

2267
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:28,520
was a phenomenal. Game we had so much fun playing,

2268
01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:31,640
it AND i WAS i was really impressed, too, because

2269
01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:33,640
like you, know she likes to play, games but like

2270
01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:35,920
her mains are Like Hello kitty On adventure that was

2271
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:37,399
a big one that she played a lot this, Year

2272
01:38:37,520 --> 01:38:41,359
Animal crossing like more laid Back Minomi. LANE i think

2273
01:38:41,399 --> 01:38:44,399
that's What that's what that one's called unpacking good little

2274
01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:47,359
just Like Vibe, games and some of the mechanics in

2275
01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:49,439
this game is like not, easy so for like someone

2276
01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:52,359
that isn't normally playing like platformers and specifically THREE d

2277
01:38:52,399 --> 01:38:54,199
platformers where you have to be like really good at

2278
01:38:54,640 --> 01:38:57,319
both joysticks the camera, around like she was getting really

2279
01:38:57,359 --> 01:39:00,920
good at. IT i was definitely nice impressed with her progress,

2280
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:03,199
there and, uh, yeah we had so much fun with,

2281
01:39:03,279 --> 01:39:05,960
this and LIKE i already, said Like I'm i'm ready

2282
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:10,079
for that Next Haze light. Announcement this just came, out

2283
01:39:10,119 --> 01:39:11,560
So i'm not in a rush for, it you, know

2284
01:39:11,640 --> 01:39:15,439
they can cook a little bit. Longer but, big big

2285
01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:18,600
fan of just couch co op games in, general and

2286
01:39:18,720 --> 01:39:20,920
it's cool that we still have studios putting out like

2287
01:39:21,560 --> 01:39:24,479
focused on couch co op. Play it's not like it's just, oh,

2288
01:39:24,600 --> 01:39:26,520
yeah we have our, game but then there's also couch

2289
01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:29,119
co op in, there like it's it's the main mechanics of.

2290
01:39:29,159 --> 01:39:31,159
It so m, Hm and you played a little bit

2291
01:39:31,199 --> 01:39:32,119
of it this, year didn't. You.

2292
01:39:32,399 --> 01:39:34,199
Speaker 1: YEAH i Think i've probably played about half of. It

2293
01:39:34,319 --> 01:39:37,199
AND i did try like about a month ago TO

2294
01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:39,840
i really wanted to finish it by the Time game

2295
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:42,199
of The year stuff was, happening and me And jessica

2296
01:39:42,239 --> 01:39:43,920
did boot it up and tried to get it. Working

2297
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:47,800
but just like the switch to friend, pass it was

2298
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:50,399
it was it was kind of, ridiculous like it's just it's.

2299
01:39:50,479 --> 01:39:53,800
Broken like you literally just can't do an online lobby

2300
01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:55,479
with the switch to, VERSION i guess because Like i've

2301
01:39:55,560 --> 01:39:58,920
only ever played it like on like on THE tv

2302
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:00,960
with a, friend like on the, couch but, like, yeah

2303
01:40:01,039 --> 01:40:03,239
you just straight up can't do like online with, it

2304
01:40:03,399 --> 01:40:07,600
like it's just, brokes SO i couldn't finish it, Unfortunately but,

2305
01:40:08,279 --> 01:40:11,199
yeah it was an honorable honorable mention for me as

2306
01:40:11,239 --> 01:40:13,119
well THAT i knew you were gonna bring up at some,

2307
01:40:13,159 --> 01:40:15,159
point so that's WHY i didn't mention it. Earlier but, uh,

2308
01:40:15,560 --> 01:40:18,319
YEAH i think based on WHAT i played of, IT

2309
01:40:18,439 --> 01:40:20,199
i enjoyed. IT i don't think it would have been

2310
01:40:20,239 --> 01:40:23,439
like a top fiver for, me so it probably could

2311
01:40:23,479 --> 01:40:25,720
have snuck into that like eight nine ten slot IF

2312
01:40:25,760 --> 01:40:27,319
i had finished. It BUT i MEAN i did HEAR

2313
01:40:28,479 --> 01:40:31,479
i accidentally heard a spoiler for like the main mechanic

2314
01:40:31,560 --> 01:40:34,159
of that final area or final level or, whatever and

2315
01:40:34,239 --> 01:40:37,439
it sounds fucking cool as, hell So i'm sure that

2316
01:40:37,600 --> 01:40:39,680
that would, like you, know bumping up the rating a

2317
01:40:39,680 --> 01:40:43,079
big time as. Well and how much creativity and like

2318
01:40:43,159 --> 01:40:45,520
work went into those the quote unquote side quests like

2319
01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:48,279
just completely new art style and like gameplay system and

2320
01:40:48,359 --> 01:40:51,399
like character that you're controlling. Sometimes, yeah so, yeah really

2321
01:40:51,479 --> 01:40:54,199
really cool, game really fun and, yeah really freaking hard

2322
01:40:54,279 --> 01:40:56,920
for me, too games all day. Long so, yeah show

2323
01:40:56,920 --> 01:40:59,239
it's To shae for making it through. There so, yeah

2324
01:40:59,279 --> 01:41:01,560
definitely WHEN i will try and finish WHEN i have

2325
01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:03,119
someone who can sit on the couch with me and

2326
01:41:03,199 --> 01:41:06,600
finish it that. Way but, yeah a cool, game cool,

2327
01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:12,279
game Totally, Yeah, okay my game of the year is

2328
01:41:12,520 --> 01:41:15,680
uh maybe no surprise to. Anyone it's kind of the

2329
01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:17,800
unanimous game of the year at least The Game wars

2330
01:41:17,800 --> 01:41:19,760
and everywhere else in the world it Is Claire Obscure

2331
01:41:20,359 --> 01:41:25,039
expedition thirty, three which is, yeah which is funny BECAUSE

2332
01:41:26,159 --> 01:41:28,479
i can't think of another time where my game of

2333
01:41:28,520 --> 01:41:30,920
the year is like the unanimous game of the, year

2334
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:33,640
because LIKE i Guess astrobought was maybe that last year

2335
01:41:33,640 --> 01:41:35,560
and that was like top three for. Me but then before,

2336
01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:37,520
THAT i was like Balders gate Are tiers of The,

2337
01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:40,079
kingdom which you know GAMES i, WELL i really Got

2338
01:41:40,159 --> 01:41:41,800
Balder's gate and not quite my game of the, year

2339
01:41:42,359 --> 01:41:44,199
and LIKE i don't, Know Eldon ring was, not you,

2340
01:41:44,279 --> 01:41:45,880
know my number one in that given. Year LIKE i

2341
01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:48,199
feel Like i'm always at least from like top two

2342
01:41:48,279 --> 01:41:49,840
or three or, five maybe even up to the. Five

2343
01:41:49,880 --> 01:41:52,520
it's Like i'm never in that same unanimous spot with everyone.

2344
01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:54,880
Else but that just goes to show how freaking Good

2345
01:41:54,920 --> 01:41:57,640
Clear obscure. Is is that like this was not even a.

2346
01:41:57,720 --> 01:41:59,800
Question you, know so much of my. LIST i even

2347
01:41:59,840 --> 01:42:02,119
just Like Death stranding, two, like, OH i don't know

2348
01:42:02,239 --> 01:42:03,840
is it is it number? Three is it number? Two

2349
01:42:04,399 --> 01:42:07,720
Mario kart Don kong maybe interchangeable Like Adam fall could

2350
01:42:07,720 --> 01:42:09,560
have been not on my, list but it's like a number.

2351
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:11,720
Six you, know a lot of things, Change but like clarep,

2352
01:42:11,760 --> 01:42:13,399
screit it's, like ONCE i beat that, game it's, like, oh,

2353
01:42:13,479 --> 01:42:16,560
yeah this is number, one and it's almost it's pretty

2354
01:42:16,640 --> 01:42:18,279
much number, zero, Right LIKE i just don't even have

2355
01:42:18,359 --> 01:42:20,640
to think about. It it's just in that. Slot nothing's

2356
01:42:20,680 --> 01:42:23,000
gonna move. It and like it came out early enough

2357
01:42:23,039 --> 01:42:24,319
THAT i was playing a lot of things throughout this.

2358
01:42:24,439 --> 01:42:26,920
Year but, yeah at times Maybe Death straining it felt,

2359
01:42:26,960 --> 01:42:28,560
like oh this could be my game of the. Year but,

2360
01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:30,920
no not, really not like in a realistic, sense like

2361
01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:36,039
is just that freaking? Good and, yeah it just fires

2362
01:42:36,079 --> 01:42:38,920
on all cylinders as you, Mentioned LIKE I i also

2363
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:42,520
this genre for, me like turn BASED rpg things like.

2364
01:42:42,640 --> 01:42:44,479
THIS i got like tactics, games but this kind OF

2365
01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:48,479
rpg not usually my specific cup of. Tea but, damn

2366
01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:51,279
this game just works in every. WAY i love the combat,

2367
01:42:51,359 --> 01:42:54,760
system it's so unique with just like so many quality

2368
01:42:54,800 --> 01:42:58,479
of life systems in. There, uh just the THE rpg

2369
01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:01,239
mechanics of building out your care characters and the way

2370
01:43:01,319 --> 01:43:03,840
it evolves and the variety you get like as the

2371
01:43:03,920 --> 01:43:07,520
game progresses is extremely. Impressive you, know the game doesn't

2372
01:43:07,520 --> 01:43:09,840
have a huge roster of, characters but there's enough in,

2373
01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:12,520
there and all of them are like extremely uniquely designed

2374
01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:13,880
THAT i wanted to play with all of them and

2375
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:16,239
like figure out how they all tick and use them

2376
01:43:16,239 --> 01:43:19,600
in different. Scenarios so that's, Great AND i of course

2377
01:43:19,680 --> 01:43:21,640
had my, favorites BUT i was constantly switching them, out

2378
01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:24,199
to switch them, out try the different, styles try the

2379
01:43:24,239 --> 01:43:27,520
different equipment THAT i was. UNLOCKING i, mean the music

2380
01:43:27,760 --> 01:43:31,520
music's outstanding best soundtrack of the. Year game looks, great

2381
01:43:31,760 --> 01:43:34,399
WHICH i almost felt weird. About i'm happy because like

2382
01:43:34,479 --> 01:43:36,560
a week, ago there was some controversy if people are

2383
01:43:36,600 --> 01:43:39,000
like clear obscurity HAS aiar, Didn't AND i was, like oh,

2384
01:43:39,119 --> 01:43:40,640
FUCK i was just ready to praise this game and

2385
01:43:40,680 --> 01:43:43,479
how gorgeous it. Is and then like just today they

2386
01:43:43,520 --> 01:43:46,279
were finally like explaining how they USED aar and that

2387
01:43:46,319 --> 01:43:48,479
they used it and like prototyping and stuff and then

2388
01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:51,039
like the one texture like snuck through past the game's,

2389
01:43:51,079 --> 01:43:53,079
launched but they passed it like five days later or

2390
01:43:53,119 --> 01:43:55,560
something like. That So i'm okay now to praise the

2391
01:43:55,680 --> 01:43:58,239
art because like it actually is all real men made.

2392
01:43:58,319 --> 01:44:00,840
Art there are some areas that are kind of sloppy,

2393
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:03,479
looking but for, me it's like the the design of

2394
01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:06,279
the characters is, Outstanding like they just look so. Cool

2395
01:44:06,520 --> 01:44:08,600
the design of the world and like the Weird france

2396
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:10,600
they have the monolith which we have is like the

2397
01:44:10,640 --> 01:44:13,199
background right now on our on our video, version and the.

2398
01:44:13,239 --> 01:44:16,359
Thumbnail like just the design of all the creatures and

2399
01:44:16,439 --> 01:44:20,079
the weird folks in the world is all. OUTSTANDING i

2400
01:44:20,159 --> 01:44:23,279
think for, me the thing that bumps it up to

2401
01:44:23,319 --> 01:44:27,439
the very very top, though is the. STORY I i

2402
01:44:27,600 --> 01:44:29,800
Think i'm confident in saying that this is my favorite

2403
01:44:29,880 --> 01:44:33,119
video game story. Ever, Kirkland, WOW i think.

2404
01:44:33,159 --> 01:44:36,000
Speaker 3: CRAZY i think that is the games that you've. Played

2405
01:44:36,039 --> 01:44:36,479
that's pretty.

2406
01:44:36,479 --> 01:44:40,239
Speaker 1: Insane, yeah pointed backlogged over nine hundred. Games i'm nearing a.

2407
01:44:40,279 --> 01:44:42,399
Thousand i'm gonna get a thousand next year games, played

2408
01:44:42,399 --> 01:44:45,039
which IS i Wonder i'll have to plan out what

2409
01:44:45,199 --> 01:44:47,640
my one thousandth game is and make, sure it's a good. One,

2410
01:44:49,039 --> 01:44:51,560
yeah maybe, six maybe that can be my one. Thousand

2411
01:44:51,640 --> 01:44:54,640
that would be. Crazy, Yeah i'll aim for. That but,

2412
01:44:54,760 --> 01:44:57,279
YEAH i think that's. TRUE i think this is my

2413
01:44:57,359 --> 01:45:01,439
favorite video game story, Ever like the The THE i,

2414
01:45:01,520 --> 01:45:03,680
guess just like straight up with the. Characters all of

2415
01:45:03,760 --> 01:45:06,520
them have their own individual. Story some of them are Like,

2416
01:45:06,640 --> 01:45:08,880
lunae who's kind of LIKE i, guess she has like

2417
01:45:08,920 --> 01:45:11,039
a it's an ensemble cast, thing but she has their

2418
01:45:11,079 --> 01:45:13,119
own like kind of side story situation going on with

2419
01:45:13,199 --> 01:45:15,520
their parents and stuff that's really. Touching cl has like

2420
01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:18,800
a heartbreaking. Story every individual character has their own. Thing,

2421
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:21,079
obviously the protagonists get like a lot more of that

2422
01:45:21,199 --> 01:45:24,760
story given on there crazy plot twists that happen of

2423
01:45:24,800 --> 01:45:30,159
course all these characters too like amazing just performances and

2424
01:45:30,239 --> 01:45:32,960
the way the scenes are shot. Too it's extremely cinematic

2425
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:35,399
and all that is. Amazing and, YEAH i just there's

2426
01:45:35,439 --> 01:45:37,479
there's layers of this and some people there's like certain

2427
01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:40,439
plot twists that happen Like act two or later in

2428
01:45:40,520 --> 01:45:43,520
the game that people don't jive, with BUT i think

2429
01:45:43,560 --> 01:45:46,199
are really great and really interesting and just read made

2430
01:45:46,239 --> 01:45:49,039
me rethink. Things and this game has this game has two,

2431
01:45:49,119 --> 01:45:50,960
endings not quite Like Adam, fallho it has a bunch

2432
01:45:50,960 --> 01:45:53,560
of different. Ones, AGAIN i wanted to see both of

2433
01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:55,399
them just to see the different, variations AND i think

2434
01:45:55,439 --> 01:45:58,039
both of the variations on the ending are extremely cool and.

2435
01:45:58,159 --> 01:46:01,720
Interesting this game just like a new free LITTLE dlc

2436
01:46:02,039 --> 01:46:04,359
stuff with some extra things in. THERE i didn't jump

2437
01:46:04,399 --> 01:46:06,479
into That i've heard it's mostly just like extremely hard boss.

2438
01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:08,159
Fights this is not a game WHERE i want to

2439
01:46:08,159 --> 01:46:09,880
do everything in, it even THOUGH i love it so,

2440
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:12,439
much because some of those late game boss fights are

2441
01:46:12,520 --> 01:46:14,520
just cracked And i'm, like this is not enjoyable to

2442
01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:16,479
me to LIKE i need to learn this pery timing

2443
01:46:16,600 --> 01:46:18,520
Or i'm not gonna beat this AND i just have

2444
01:46:18,600 --> 01:46:21,680
to have insane you, know reaction, time and like Now i'm,

2445
01:46:21,720 --> 01:46:25,399
Good LIKE i beat some really hard, bosses BUT i

2446
01:46:25,479 --> 01:46:27,000
did like just enough for, Me and it sounds like

2447
01:46:27,039 --> 01:46:29,720
THE dlc is mostly just really really hard hard. BOSSES

2448
01:46:30,399 --> 01:46:31,840
i love this game also as like a sense of.

2449
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:34,720
Humor there's like some janky like platform challenges you get

2450
01:46:34,760 --> 01:46:37,600
to do the NPCs and like there are weird dialogue

2451
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:39,880
and weird look to, them have like a silliness to.

2452
01:46:39,960 --> 01:46:42,039
Them there's like mimes you're fighting and you can get.

2453
01:46:42,119 --> 01:46:44,479
Costumes that's like the characters of the bag gets on

2454
01:46:44,520 --> 01:46:46,560
their back and Like french little hats and stuff like.

2455
01:46:46,600 --> 01:46:48,000
That so the game has a sense of humor to

2456
01:46:48,119 --> 01:46:50,800
it as. WELL i mean even just like the first

2457
01:46:50,840 --> 01:46:52,479
fifteen minutes of this game is one of the best

2458
01:46:52,560 --> 01:46:55,000
video game stories. Ever like it's it's so it makes

2459
01:46:55,039 --> 01:46:57,359
you cry in the first like fifteen minutes of this,

2460
01:46:57,520 --> 01:47:00,800
Game like it starts out extremely. Strong uh it doesn't

2461
01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:03,199
really let up at any point in. Time and, yeah

2462
01:47:03,279 --> 01:47:05,359
the game just opens multiple times in terms of like

2463
01:47:05,600 --> 01:47:08,000
starts out fairly, linear then gets a little bit less,

2464
01:47:08,039 --> 01:47:10,479
linear and then gets you just like whoa crazy the

2465
01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:13,119
way it's open and just lets you go do all

2466
01:47:13,159 --> 01:47:15,319
sorts of different. Stuff but at the same, time it

2467
01:47:15,439 --> 01:47:18,640
feels like there isn't just a ton of actual crap in,

2468
01:47:18,680 --> 01:47:21,720
There like it feels like toned down and scaled. Perfectly

2469
01:47:22,319 --> 01:47:25,359
so uh, YEAH i JUST i don't have anything negative

2470
01:47:25,359 --> 01:47:27,560

is just so. Beautiful it's so, beautiful and, yeah it's

2484
01:48:04,279 --> 01:48:06,159
great like background. TUNES i had it a couple of,

2485
01:48:06,159 --> 01:48:07,439
times like it would just be on like one of

2486
01:48:07,479 --> 01:48:09,399
My spotify. Radios it would just come on WHEN i

2487
01:48:09,439 --> 01:48:11,199
was listening to like a gaming, playlist AND i was just,

2488
01:48:11,279 --> 01:48:13,239
like what the fuck is? This and THEN i saw

2489
01:48:13,279 --> 01:48:15,520
it was Like Claire's. Girl i'm, like, ah, MAN i

2490
01:48:15,600 --> 01:48:17,399
gotta get in this game at some. Point But i'm

2491
01:48:17,399 --> 01:48:20,520
almost like waiting for, that like oh, yeah like like

2492
01:48:20,600 --> 01:48:23,279
whether it's THE ai thing or like something that brings it.

2493
01:48:23,359 --> 01:48:25,199
Down but WHEN i hear THE ai, THING i don't

2494
01:48:25,239 --> 01:48:28,439
Really i'm not really too bothered by, that you, know,

2495
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:32,840
personally but when just just like hearing how phenomenal the music,

2496
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:36,279
is the, visuals the voice, actors and it just who's in,

2497
01:48:36,359 --> 01:48:39,479
there the, story and like it's not even a full price.

2498
01:48:39,560 --> 01:48:41,319
Game i'm, like what is going on with this? Game

2499
01:48:41,479 --> 01:48:43,960
like like like this is just so. BIZARRE i don't

2500
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:45,720
understand why it's not a full price game WHEN i

2501
01:48:46,079 --> 01:48:49,359
look at like a ninety DOLLARS i don't, KNOW, EA

2502
01:48:49,960 --> 01:48:51,760
fifa or something that it's like the same game it

2503
01:48:51,840 --> 01:48:53,319
put out every single, year and they just it's like

2504
01:48:53,359 --> 01:48:56,000
a ninety dollars. Game it's just like they haven't even

2505
01:48:56,079 --> 01:48:57,399
changed anything about. It but THEN i look at this

2506
01:48:57,560 --> 01:48:59,680
and it's just like such a unicorn and.

2507
01:48:59,720 --> 01:49:01,760
Speaker 1: This se thing they just put out free as.

2508
01:49:01,800 --> 01:49:04,039
Speaker 3: Well yeah yeah for? Free yeah why? Not we just

2509
01:49:04,079 --> 01:49:05,760
Won game of The. Year, yeah let's do, that so

2510
01:49:06,279 --> 01:49:08,520
shouts out to shouts out To Claire. Obscure who even

2511
01:49:08,560 --> 01:49:10,600
Is Claire? OBSCURE i probably asked you this. Before is

2512
01:49:10,680 --> 01:49:15,760
this like A Tom clancy type? Thing there is, no, no,

2513
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:18,399
no it's not based on a book or. Anything there's

2514
01:49:18,439 --> 01:49:19,560
no character Named Claire.

2515
01:49:19,680 --> 01:49:23,079
Speaker 1: Obscure, OKAY i THINK i think The french To english

2516
01:49:23,119 --> 01:49:28,039
translation is light dark Of Claire. Obscure, okay, yeah MOSTLY

2517
01:49:28,119 --> 01:49:30,079
i think IF i WHEN i, TRUNCATED i THINK i

2518
01:49:30,159 --> 01:49:33,520
usually call It expedition thirty three because that's more of

2519
01:49:33,640 --> 01:49:36,600
like what the game's. About it is about you on

2520
01:49:36,960 --> 01:49:40,079
the thirty three, EXPEDITION i, guess or The expedition thirty three.

2521
01:49:40,079 --> 01:49:43,279
Specifically so, YEAH i don't, know interesting. TITLE i think

2522
01:49:43,359 --> 01:49:44,880
like they could have maybe left that, out BUT i

2523
01:49:45,159 --> 01:49:47,960
wonder how that works for like a series. Thing but

2524
01:49:48,039 --> 01:49:50,479
also it just sounds Good claire. Obscure so either, way

2525
01:49:50,640 --> 01:49:53,199
you call It exposition thirty three Or Claire, obscure both good.

2526
01:49:53,279 --> 01:49:55,399
Names so there it has two good games and one.

2527
01:49:56,760 --> 01:49:58,199
Speaker 3: It just keeps winning better than.

2528
01:49:58,239 --> 01:50:00,760
Speaker 1: Ball X pit in terms of we can say that

2529
01:50:00,880 --> 01:50:01,640
for sure if you ask.

2530
01:50:01,680 --> 01:50:04,520
Speaker 3: Me, yes it's just a beautiful name. Too that's WHY

2531
01:50:04,520 --> 01:50:05,680
i thought it was A i thought it was a

2532
01:50:05,720 --> 01:50:07,760
person this whole. TIME i thought it was, like this

2533
01:50:07,920 --> 01:50:10,279
is like the, director you, know Like hideo kijim is

2534
01:50:10,720 --> 01:50:13,439
death stranding like. That that's the type of THING i

2535
01:50:13,520 --> 01:50:13,920
get from.

2536
01:50:13,960 --> 01:50:16,880
Speaker 1: It but, yeah, yeah it's cool. Title, Nonetheless, yeah, yeah,

2537
01:50:17,279 --> 01:50:19,720
yeah SO i, guess you, know Claib. SCARE i did

2538
01:50:19,760 --> 01:50:23,159
A i think roughly hour long solo deep dive thought

2539
01:50:23,239 --> 01:50:25,079
on like spoiler, stuff so people can go back check

2540
01:50:25,159 --> 01:50:26,800
that out and FOR i think every game on on

2541
01:50:26,960 --> 01:50:29,560
my list and and all your mentions like of course

2542
01:50:29,600 --> 01:50:31,239
we do side quest every. Week we talk about these

2543
01:50:31,279 --> 01:50:33,439
things as we're playing. Them So Death straining too has

2544
01:50:33,439 --> 01:50:36,640
a big spoiler, cast you, know Don Kong, Bonanza me

2545
01:50:36,680 --> 01:50:38,479
And travis did that recently actually talking about some of the.

2546
01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:40,720
Spoilers Silk SONG i did another solo one talking of

2547
01:50:40,880 --> 01:50:43,000
just through all my different favorite moments of that. Game

2548
01:50:43,039 --> 01:50:44,600
so if you want to hear more about any of

2549
01:50:44,640 --> 01:50:47,199
the games, mentioned just go onto the side quest feed

2550
01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:50,239
control f search. It if you can't find, it let me.

2551
01:50:50,279 --> 01:50:51,680
KNOW i can help you track down a lot of these,

2552
01:50:51,720 --> 01:50:54,640
games like Like adam fall or avowed or talked about

2553
01:50:54,680 --> 01:50:57,079
in multiple, Episodes so this might be harder to. Find

2554
01:50:57,159 --> 01:50:59,359
for the big spoilery, ones those are kind of easier

2555
01:50:59,399 --> 01:51:02,800
to find on the, feed you know, YouTube there's a playlist.

2556
01:51:02,840 --> 01:51:05,319
There go on the side quest feed if you're if

2557
01:51:05,359 --> 01:51:07,039
you didn't know about this geek. First of, course we

2558
01:51:07,119 --> 01:51:08,760
have Geek first where all these episodes, go but we

2559
01:51:08,800 --> 01:51:10,880
also have this specific side quest, Feed so if you

2560
01:51:10,920 --> 01:51:12,640
want to find things. Easier that's a good place to

2561
01:51:12,680 --> 01:51:14,720
go because if it just filters out all the other

2562
01:51:14,760 --> 01:51:16,720
geek first, steps so you can help help you find

2563
01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:20,600
some of those. Episodes so, yeah that's there's a lot
