00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,920

head perfect.

43
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:04,439
Speaker 1: I hit a couple of nails at least with at

44
00:02:04,519 --> 00:02:07,400
least two or three swings. But uh yeah, we're just

45
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,759
gonna jump right into it. And in classic side quest fashion.

46
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,639
We're gonna be talking about some video games that we've

47
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,919
been playing and Sins of a Tailor Field you got me,

48
00:02:17,159 --> 00:02:19,039
You got me intrigued by your name. It's a good

49
00:02:19,039 --> 00:02:22,360
little clickbait article title you got I would be clicking

50
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,319
on that article. I saw that name. What do you

51
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,400
got for me today?

52
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,439
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, Sins of a Solar Empire. Let me tell you,

53
00:02:29,479 --> 00:02:32,960
I've not been playing the second one. Actually, I went

54
00:02:33,199 --> 00:02:36,360
back and I've been sinking some hours into Sins of

55
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,080
a Solar Empire.

56
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: Rebellion nic that DLC, that's for the first one.

57
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 2: It's it's its own game because the first one has DLC,

58
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,919
but Rebellion is its own game. It's like a game,

59
00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:51,960
it's like an exactly yes. And so for the longest time,

60
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,159
I thought that this was basically just the sequel, and

61
00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:55,960
I thought that this game was pretty much dead, that

62
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,840
we would never get anything after the DLC, the things

63
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,639
that they've implemented into it. But lo and behold, we're

64
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,919
hanging out and just casually slips like, yes, this it's

65
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,560
of a Solar Empire too, And I'm like, what I

66
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,719
had into my Steam wish list, I'm waiting for it

67
00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:10,719
to go on sale. I checked the stats and I

68
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,240
can handle this on my desktop, which is great.

69
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: Nice reviews are looking good as well, so it's excited,

70
00:03:16,439 --> 00:03:18,680
really good. We're saying, it's just like if you like

71
00:03:18,759 --> 00:03:23,520
the first one, this is like a perfect continuation, so exactly.

72
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 2: They took the good things and they kind of threw

73
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,400
out the stuff that was kind of pointless, and I'm

74
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:29,680
just I'm super super excited to get around to that.

75
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,280
But I'm gonna wait for a Steam sale because I'm

76
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:34,280
not I'm not rushing to play that new one, because again,

77
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:37,000
I got I got Rebellion. I have a hard copy

78
00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:39,039
of the first Ins of a Solar Empire Memember. I

79
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,680
bought it from Lenden Drugs a long long time ago.

80
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,439
But Rebelly Drugs was like a weird It's like a

81
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:45,000
weird play.

82
00:03:45,039 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: I feel like I got plenty of video games in

83
00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:49,879
London drugs for some reason, like like maybe comparable to

84
00:03:49,919 --> 00:03:52,280
like TV games for some reason. There's just some some

85
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,319
good fines in the London drugs.

86
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,879
Speaker 2: And they're really charged, like it's so brill You go

87
00:03:57,919 --> 00:04:00,120
in there today and there's still like seventy dollars like

88
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,840
for like sixty bucks right, it's ridiculous. But yeah, so

89
00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:08,319
I've been sinking the hours into Rebellion. It feels good.

90
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:09,680
It took me a little bit of time to kind

91
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,120
of get back into it and figure out just the

92
00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:15,719
basics of like what's going on. So I started off small.

93
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,439
Have you know your your allies? And I forgot that

94
00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:23,920
there's so many interesting things when you're fortifying your planets

95
00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:26,680
and when you're trying to fortify your fleet, and just

96
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,079
how you can tackle different things like trade commerce, black

97
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,519
market and like setting bounties on your opponents and dealing

98
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,759
with pirate fleets coming after you and all of that jazz.

99
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,800
And so I took a quick little video that I'm

100
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,120
going to share with you because I want to show

101
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,639
you just the scale of this game is.

102
00:04:44,959 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: So I've seen some videos and it blows my mind.

103
00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:50,560
I feel like it seems overwhelming, which is how much?

104
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,879
Because it is all real time? Like can you change

105
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,800
like the game speed at all? Like is there options

106
00:04:55,879 --> 00:04:58,199
like pause and like think about what you're doing.

107
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 2: You can pause and you can pause it.

108
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, and they're adding on to that question too,

109
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,439
does the speed feel like like I'm sure there's a

110
00:05:06,519 --> 00:05:08,120
learning curve, but does the speed of the game like

111
00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:10,600
naturally feel like this is manageable, like like it doesn't

112
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,160
feel too fast too slow.

113
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,639
Speaker 2: Or yes it does, and it doesn't feel like you

114
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,959
go into an area and let's say your ships and

115
00:05:16,959 --> 00:05:19,680
your fleet will just get destroyed instantly. The battles are long,

116
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,560
and I like that because there's a situation where I

117
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,560
had a planet I was defending it, and my main

118
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,680
fleet was that it was about two systems away or sorry,

119
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,439
two planets away, and I was being attacked. I thought, Okay,

120
00:05:32,439 --> 00:05:33,560
you know what, I don't want to pull my main

121
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,600
fleet back from this defensive position, but I think I

122
00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:38,800
have to. I pulled my main fleet back back to

123
00:05:38,879 --> 00:05:41,040
my main planet here, and it was great because it

124
00:05:41,079 --> 00:05:43,600
took a while, but this battle was happening at this

125
00:05:43,639 --> 00:05:47,839
planet where my small little fleet was getting reinforced from

126
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,240
the production lines, but it was getting destroyed. And so

127
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:52,480
finally my main fleet arrives and there's a little bit

128
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,879
of battle here, and like the it's just cool because

129
00:05:54,879 --> 00:05:57,439
they're both fronts. The fleet in the middle is being

130
00:05:57,519 --> 00:05:59,319
sandwiched and like trying just to like take them on,

131
00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:02,519
but then they away. It's just it's it's a pace

132
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,399
that you can keep up with. You can advance your technology,

133
00:06:05,519 --> 00:06:08,319
you can grow your fleet, you can you can advance

134
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:13,199
in a comfortable way. Ah. So this just gets me

135
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,279
super juicy. So I play as I can't remember I

136
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,879
should know their name, but I always play as an

137
00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:21,600
alien race. There's like advanced humans, there's regular humans, and

138
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:24,439
then there's the aliens. And I play as the Aliens.

139
00:06:24,519 --> 00:06:28,959
They have like, I just love them. They're great. Yeah,

140
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,759
you can play as like their main loyalist factions, or

141
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,879
you can play as the rebellion versions. Each have similar ships,

142
00:06:34,879 --> 00:06:40,199
but different super units, different abilities, whatnot. So, uh this,

143
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,720
if it'll let me play it, there we go. This

144
00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:46,519
is this is a fucking huge fleet that I built.

145
00:06:47,079 --> 00:06:50,199
And so you got capital ships, you got smaller cruisers.

146
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: So is there are a lot of like micro movements you

147
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,360
have to do in the combat, or you just kind

148
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,839
of get your ships in there and they do their

149
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:56,319
thing and.

150
00:06:56,199 --> 00:06:59,519
Speaker 2: You get your ships there. You can designate them to

151
00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:04,360
audit autotask them to respond certain ways. But I just

152
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,560
this is what I love is going from planet to

153
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,680
planet and just watching your ships doing like hyperspace jumps.

154
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:13,120
And this is like my big boy, my super unit.

155
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,000
This is Purple's enemy, and the Yellow is actually my

156
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,319
ally just fucking them up, and you can see Yellow's

157
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,800
got another super unit over there. And then just when

158
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:27,279
you see the fleet coming in like this, Oh that's tasty.

159
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,839
It's just oh, here's this game.

160
00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:31,839
Speaker 1: By the way, do you know, if it's up your.

161
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:33,319
Speaker 2: Head, I'll pull it up.

162
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: Like this doesn't look that bad. Like, honestly, I feel

163
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,759
like this I was expecting to look more dated.

164
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,319
Speaker 2: I came out twenty twelve.

165
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,839
Speaker 1: Okay, that's very decade ago, still like newer than I thought.

166
00:07:47,879 --> 00:07:50,560
Though for some reason I thought, like specifically Rebellion was that.

167
00:07:50,959 --> 00:07:53,199
I'm just thinking, like since Solar Empire, I feel like

168
00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:55,160
the first time I had heard of it was a

169
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,040
while ago. But I mean you say, yeah, it was

170
00:07:57,079 --> 00:07:58,079
already over a decade.

171
00:07:58,879 --> 00:07:59,879
Speaker 2: It was over a decade.

172
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,439
Speaker 1: It's already a long time ago. But yeah, this just

173
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,079
looks crazy. And like just comparing some of the like

174
00:08:06,439 --> 00:08:09,839
the footage I've seen from the new game, you know,

175
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,639
it just looks that much cleaner. I think, Oh yeah.

176
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,600
Some complaints I have heard is that the game developer

177
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,600
use like some AI to help like just speed up

178
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:24,720
the UI design process. Apparently the UI isn't really it's

179
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:27,040
just not that user for it, not that great, not

180
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,399
that good right now. But that's always something. You know,

181
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,360
enough people complain they can hopefully patch that at some point. Yeah,

182
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,759
of course this epic though. Yeah, I've always been interested

183
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:39,200
in this game. I feel like I talked to you

184
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,600
about this game, honestly, like Target, Like, I feel like

185
00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:45,720
that's around the time when it when it got brought up.

186
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,759
I don't know if I found it and was talking

187
00:08:47,759 --> 00:08:49,039
to me about it, or if you just told me

188
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,679
about it and I was mentioning just my love for

189
00:08:51,919 --> 00:08:55,759
strategy games and arts games and no, but that looks amazing.

190
00:08:55,799 --> 00:08:59,000
And on that topic of just RTS games, if you

191
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,600
or anyone else all there listened to last week's side

192
00:09:01,639 --> 00:09:04,600
Quest episode, I was talking to Dylan about have you

193
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,039
played like Age of Empires Age Mythology those games?

194
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: I'm not. I actually yes, I have played Mythology a

195
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,639
century ago and Age of Empire is three. I really

196
00:09:12,639 --> 00:09:16,159
got into that one nice but specific specific battles. I

197
00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:17,919
like Carrios.

198
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:22,879
Speaker 1: I see so for Age Mythology. You know, quickly little update. People,

199
00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:24,639
if they didn't listen to last week's episode, that's like

200
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,759
by far my favorite arts game of all time. I

201
00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:29,360
always just love like the history and like the Greek

202
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,720
mythology and all that stuff. Like I just loved all

203
00:09:31,759 --> 00:09:34,519
of the aspects of that game, let alone the actual gameplay.

204
00:09:34,519 --> 00:09:38,080
And they recently came out with Age Mythology Retold, which

205
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,879
is doing really good right now. A lot of people

206
00:09:40,919 --> 00:09:43,159
are loving that and having a great time. I purchased

207
00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:44,559
this game and for some reason, it just will not

208
00:09:44,639 --> 00:09:46,639
launch for me on Steam. Man, that's a big bummer

209
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,320
because it was like the first time that I was like, man,

210
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,159
like I okay, I'm really hyped for this game. I

211
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,720
want to get it, download it, you know. I had,

212
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:55,600
like I think Shaye was at like a night shift

213
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,240
that Friday night. I'm like, I'm just gonna stay out

214
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,639
for like fucking seven hours and just play this from

215
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,559
like six in the morning, Like I'm just committing my

216
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,480
whole need of this, And it would just not launch.

217
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,919
And I've tried so many fixes. They've had a couple

218
00:10:06,039 --> 00:10:08,240
patches that came out, and I'm like, hopefully, hopefully the

219
00:10:08,279 --> 00:10:11,360
pat will fix it. No nothing, I've disabled, like certain

220
00:10:11,399 --> 00:10:14,360
programs that people say might be like interviewing. No, just

221
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,320
bit the bullet. I ended up refunding it, which was

222
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,360
really really sad because I do still really want to

223
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,840
play this game. It does look really fantastic. I do

224
00:10:22,919 --> 00:10:25,440
have like the old age mythology that again like if

225
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,240
I want to scratch that, she'll probably just go on there.

226
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,679
But it's just like, I'm also just bitter right now,

227
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:30,879
and I'm like, fuck that I don't eve want to

228
00:10:30,919 --> 00:10:33,039
play Age now now that I can't play this one.

229
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,679
So yeah, that's my update from last week. I still

230
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,720
can't run that game, and I have since refunded it.

231
00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:40,399
But the day that I refunded it, because you know,

232
00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:42,440
I'm looking at this game I just bought, and I'm like, well,

233
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,559
I was using that money for a game, so let's

234
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,039
just look at these other things. And I was look

235
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,440
at the Sins of a Solar Empire and I came close.

236
00:10:48,519 --> 00:10:49,960
It was in my card at one point. But I

237
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,879
was like, this is also the type of game I

238
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:53,840
feel like I want to watch like a YouTube tutorial

239
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:55,519
to like learn how to play it. That's that's what

240
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,000
I ended up doing, Like the first time I got

241
00:10:57,039 --> 00:10:59,559
into like a total war game, which now is you know,

242
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,799
one of my favorite strategy games of all time to

243
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,879
war Warhammer, but like, I think there's something about those

244
00:11:04,879 --> 00:11:08,399
strategy games that are really deep and like almost the

245
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,679
level that you have to like watch YouTube tutorials just

246
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,200
because it's like it's such a high skill ceiling and

247
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,840
that's what makes it fun and like you can just

248
00:11:15,919 --> 00:11:18,320
sink thousands upon thousands of hours into it. So I

249
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:20,559
definitely still want to try it. Sense of Solar because

250
00:11:21,279 --> 00:11:25,080
the only sci fi strategy game I think I've played

251
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,200
would have been, not counting on Wars, would have been

252
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,000
uh yeah, StarCraft StarCraft two specifically. I went really hard

253
00:11:32,039 --> 00:11:34,759
on that game, not like competitively or anything, but just

254
00:11:34,799 --> 00:11:36,960
playing a lot of the campaign and then with some

255
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,000
friends doing some land battles. But yeah, that's just because

256
00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:43,720
this game is so different than like a classic art

257
00:11:43,879 --> 00:11:45,720
I don't even think it is considered an arts game.

258
00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:47,759
It's like a four X or something like that, whatever

259
00:11:47,799 --> 00:11:51,919
the specific subgenre of a strategy is. But just just yeah,

260
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,720
the scale of it. When you see all of those

261
00:11:53,759 --> 00:11:55,960
thousands of ships and then you like zoom out you

262
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,039
go like manage your other planets. It's just like, oh

263
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,919
my god, the Solar system, like the trade federation here

264
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,480
or something Yeah, if if.

265
00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 2: You're looking for something a little bit more simple, I

266
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,279
would recommend have you ever heard of Stronghold or Stronghold Crusader?

267
00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:14,639
Speaker 1: I think still, let me look this up.

268
00:12:14,879 --> 00:12:17,879
Speaker 2: It does a little video here. This this is the

269
00:12:17,919 --> 00:12:20,399
first RTS game that I ever got back when I

270
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:21,440
was in elementary school.

271
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:22,799
Speaker 1: My friend, that's beautiful.

272
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,799
Speaker 2: The graphics are super retro but man like, the looks

273
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,240
like a vampires though it's like similar the castle building.

274
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,240
This is Crusader. Then they have a more uh rob

275
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,360
The other one is just regular Stronghold in the medieval setting,

276
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:39,200
but this is Jerusalem.

277
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: Like.

278
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 2: It's fantastic. It is such a fantastic freaking game. I

279
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:47,639
cannot recommend it enough. They've done Stronghol Crusader too. There's

280
00:12:47,639 --> 00:12:50,320
a whole bunch of sequels on Steam. There's bundles that

281
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,360
you can get. H They've really really done a great

282
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,919
job at kind of reviving and like keeping this game

283
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,080
alive and just really delivering out. Like the building your

284
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:04,080
castles is fantastic. You can have so many creative approaches

285
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,799
and dynamics getting your units in there, sitting traps and

286
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,200
just trying to keep your population on your village happy.

287
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,480
Through either religion or food or different jobs and having

288
00:13:12,519 --> 00:13:15,200
your your citizens like create your weaponry, to build your

289
00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:18,080
units and whatnot. There's there's so much and all it

290
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,679
comes down to is really like they're trying to kill

291
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,600
your king before you kill their king. Yeah, it's just

292
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,080
it's such a freaking great game of just building, uh,

293
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,000
dealing with things in the maps, quarry stuff. You'll only

294
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,639
ever hear good things from me on it. It's just

295
00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:38,480
a fantastic nostalgic trip for me. I've sunk so many

296
00:13:38,519 --> 00:13:39,639
hours into that game.

297
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,279
Speaker 1: That's awesome. I know, I definitely have never heard of that,

298
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:48,360
So thanks for sharing. That's interesting. Okay, anything else on

299
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,159
Sins for now or what most even playing?

300
00:13:52,879 --> 00:13:55,759
Speaker 2: We played some Call of Duty this weekend. The Haunting.

301
00:13:56,519 --> 00:13:59,559
The yeah, Haunting is in right now, but it's a

302
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:04,039
bit of a because the Halloween Rebirth Island is only

303
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,360
through there's a specific purgatory Island mode, which is not

304
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,720
what you necessarily think, it's more objective based. And then

305
00:14:11,759 --> 00:14:15,080
there is the hell Spawn, which is dealing with the zombies,

306
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,080
which we've played before, where you spawn in with your

307
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,039
team and then as some player turns to a zombie,

308
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,840
they kill you. You turn to a zombie, you can come

309
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,879
back right killing humans and you want to be the

310
00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:26,720
last human alive, and it's brutal. So that being said,

311
00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:29,320
it's a shame because if they had the regular resurgence

312
00:14:29,639 --> 00:14:32,320
mode available, it would be beautiful because the map is

313
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:38,120
a horror like nightmare. It's so awesomely redesigned for Halloween.

314
00:14:38,159 --> 00:14:40,480
I love it. So we had to do the regular

315
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,679
map rotations playlist because they didn't have regular rebirth available,

316
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,519
So we're playing on Von Dell Fortunes to Keep and

317
00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:51,080
then Rebirth, which is kind of lame. We've got a

318
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,559
few very close second places, but we didn't get any wins.

319
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,519
There's still a couple of days left until the Halloween

320
00:14:58,559 --> 00:15:02,240
event officially starts where you get Sam from Trick or Treat,

321
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,279
and that's what I'm waiting for. They have Michael Myers

322
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,320
in there right now, and that sued Me and Travis

323
00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:08,399
have been playing as Michael Myers.

324
00:15:08,039 --> 00:15:09,039
Speaker 1: So he's pretty nice.

325
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,799
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's pretty much it.

326
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, cool, Well thanks for sharing that, and uh,

327
00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:20,480
you're just getting me excited on a strategy now. I

328
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,480
feel like Sinson's old Empire just got like it was

329
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,159
already on my list, but now it's uh, I mean

330
00:15:25,159 --> 00:15:27,840
it's already been my cart, you know, let alone on my.

331
00:15:27,799 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: List, just like sitting in your cart, not your wish list.

332
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: It wasn't my car, like I told you. When I

333
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,240
was refunny, I was like, am I doing this right now?

334
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,399
It was like, uh no, it's like eleven thirty at night,

335
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,559
right now, let's go to bed. Always a wild time

336
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,639
to start a brand new tragic game late in the

337
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,240
wee hours, because I feel like the first time, the

338
00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:47,480
first session is like hours long because you're just like

339
00:15:47,559 --> 00:15:51,000
learning everything and just getting totally INKLF. But Okay, we're

340
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,320
gonna quickly take our first ad break of the day

341
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,440
and then uh we'll go on to what I'm playing.

342
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:02,320
So back that we're back, you'll what have I been playing?

343
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,000
What have I been playing? What was I talking to?

344
00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: Dell?

345
00:16:04,279 --> 00:16:08,679
Speaker 1: Oh? I'll just quickly shout it out here. Have you

346
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,279
heard of Cult the Lamb at All? I've talked about

347
00:16:10,279 --> 00:16:13,039
this game multiple times on Okay nice Dylan and I

348
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,039
did a review long time ago, and then I think

349
00:16:16,039 --> 00:16:20,080
it was last week's episode I was mentioning that jumped

350
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,600
back into it. But now it's shame because they've included

351
00:16:22,679 --> 00:16:26,200
a co op mode now, which is fantastic and quick update.

352
00:16:26,279 --> 00:16:28,879
We beat the game today, which was really fun, and

353
00:16:30,039 --> 00:16:31,919
I think we'll still put in like a few more

354
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,559
hours into the game just because there's certain things we

355
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,639
want to upgrade in our little cult village. And it's

356
00:16:39,679 --> 00:16:41,679
a definitely like a grind game in the sense of

357
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,200
like you're constantly having to like manage things in your

358
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,159
in your little village and your little cult there. And

359
00:16:47,399 --> 00:16:49,039
because we are like so late in the game, it's

360
00:16:49,159 --> 00:16:52,720
very self sufficient now, which is satisfying, but it's also like, oh,

361
00:16:52,759 --> 00:16:54,759
we're just getting so close to the max upgrade in

362
00:16:54,799 --> 00:16:56,480
this and then max upgrade in this, so I think

363
00:16:56,519 --> 00:16:58,080
we'll once we get to like that point, then we'll

364
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,320
probably call it on the game overall. But uh yeah, no,

365
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,000
just wanted to update that I've beat the game now,

366
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,599
as my first time beating it since since I first

367
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,000
bought it the first time, I think I killed like

368
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,599
the first three bosses and just for whatever reason just

369
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,720
kind of put it down from there. But playing with

370
00:17:13,759 --> 00:17:15,880
another person has made it a lot more enjoyable and

371
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,839
just we were really enjoying the uh yeah, just kind

372
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:21,039
of like the city building aspect of the cults. It's

373
00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:24,079
a lot more fun having two minds, you know, how

374
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:27,799
you're gonna you're gonna sacrifice, you know, and all the

375
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,359
little little aspects into managing a cult. And I just

376
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,920
love the characters and they're really cute. It's it's a funny,

377
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:40,960
like uh, just mixture of like cute animals and just

378
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,359
like really like dark satanic things that are going on.

379
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,079
So yeah, I really really love that game. But beyond

380
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,920
that's what I've been playing. Oh, I was having this,

381
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,279
you know, hinting up my name here the trainer. I

382
00:17:53,319 --> 00:17:57,160
was having a random just itch for some Pokemon in

383
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,400
my life. I was like, man, I I just I

384
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,200
don't know, I just want to have like a little chill.

385
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,839
It's just hunting for some Pokemon here, and we're working

386
00:18:04,839 --> 00:18:08,160
on my Poke Dex, so I have I think thanks

387
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,480
to Patreon Tyler, he just gave me Pokemon sword or

388
00:18:12,559 --> 00:18:16,160
shield whatever one it was on the switch and I

389
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,119
booted that one up. I don't know. I had a

390
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,839
handful of badges on my character, and I just like, man,

391
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,960
I'm just not a fan of like the newer Pokemon

392
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,119
games where it's like a lot more open world and

393
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,599
I don't know it's I'm gonna sound like an old

394
00:18:29,599 --> 00:18:31,839
guy here, but it just sounds like really like easy

395
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,519
as well. Like you know, in the older Pokemon games,

396
00:18:34,519 --> 00:18:36,799
like your rival would choose your counter, and now like

397
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,519
they choose their like the counter to their own Pokemon.

398
00:18:40,599 --> 00:18:43,319
So then like it's just every battle is like super easy,

399
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,079
and it just seems like just a lot of the

400
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,559
extra features they added in I'm just not a fan of.

401
00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:50,200
I don't know if they've like changed that in some

402
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,880
of the later titles, because Shield would have been the

403
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,759
last one that I have played out of the Pokemon series,

404
00:18:55,799 --> 00:19:01,599
Like I never played Archaeus or Sun and Moon. What's

405
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:06,279
the Let's Go? And yeah, so those ones I haven't played,

406
00:19:06,279 --> 00:19:08,279
but yeah, I've bened that up. And I was a

407
00:19:08,279 --> 00:19:10,119
little disappointed because I'm like, well, I want that itch

408
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,599
a Pokemon, but don't want to have to do this

409
00:19:12,039 --> 00:19:14,440
long story short. I went on a random not a

410
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:17,839
random I've been on a targeted hunt for some good

411
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,720
emulators and I managed to find a fantastic game Boy

412
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,240
Advance emulator and a DS emulator on the iPad. So

413
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,960
I've been playing Pokemon Emerald on the iPad. Taylor and

414
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,240
I've never played Emerald before. I've only played Ruby or

415
00:19:32,279 --> 00:19:35,759
Sapphire whatever, which one. I didn't realize that Emerald like

416
00:19:35,839 --> 00:19:38,440
kind of combined because it's like, what is it. Ruby

417
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,000
you get team megm while you're fighting, and then Sapphire

418
00:19:41,079 --> 00:19:43,319
you get Team Aqua and then an Emerald. They're like

419
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,200
they're both in the game, and you get like ray

420
00:19:45,279 --> 00:19:48,960
Quasa is the the cover Pokemon. So I've never played

421
00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:51,920
through like that specific one, you know, I played through

422
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,799
the story of Sapphire Ruby. Can't remember which one it was,

423
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,880
but yeah, just I really hyped on that one there.

424
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,599
And I also this was this was the biggest mind blow.

425
00:20:01,839 --> 00:20:04,799
They actually have a Pokemon Black and White and Black

426
00:20:04,839 --> 00:20:07,039
and White two, which I'm so fucking hyped on because

427
00:20:07,079 --> 00:20:09,200
I never owned those games. Have you played those ones?

428
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? I beat them.

429
00:20:10,519 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: Nice, Yeah, you're a Pokemon legend here. But Pokemon Black

430
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,160
two or White too, I'm pretty sure is the one

431
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,000
that I played at like a friend's house, and I

432
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,200
like it was such a crime that I even got

433
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,319
a glimpse of it, because like I just feel like

434
00:20:23,519 --> 00:20:26,440
and since then, I've been like it's like just chasing

435
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,359
that game and like it just seems like one of

436
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:33,000
the most hard Pokemon titles to acquire, Like it seems

437
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,319
like nobody has this game or access to it. So

438
00:20:35,759 --> 00:20:38,319
I was really hyped to see that on my emulator

439
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,119
list there. So yeah, I've been I've been playing some

440
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,319
some emeralds just kind of booted that up yesterday, and man,

441
00:20:45,519 --> 00:20:47,920
it is so fucking good, especially like on the iPad.

442
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,079
It's great because it's like a larger screen. Yeah, no,

443
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,240
it's it's been. It's been just awesome. The nostalgic music,

444
00:20:55,279 --> 00:20:59,160
with the characters and everything, and it's just they're just

445
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,920
like and again like nostalgias as a factor, but like

446
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,039
they're just so much better than the newer games, like

447
00:21:04,079 --> 00:21:06,519
I you know, I know there's like customizing you can

448
00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:08,079
do to like your character the new ones, but it's

449
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,519
just like something just really just I don't know, special

450
00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:14,559
about the old formula of the older Pokemon games. I

451
00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:17,720
was gonna start on leaf green, like the like the

452
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,200
older ones. And because I was like just looking at

453
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,880
these lists, they like made me do some research in

454
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,559
the Pokemon titles and I never realized like there was

455
00:21:24,599 --> 00:21:27,839
Pokemon what was it, green, blue, and red? Like those

456
00:21:27,839 --> 00:21:30,000
were like the originals and then they like kind of

457
00:21:30,039 --> 00:21:33,839
redid them into fire red and then leaf green, and

458
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,240
then same thing with gold and silvers, and then it

459
00:21:37,279 --> 00:21:40,079
went like shining gold or something like that, radiant silver.

460
00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:42,279
I can't remember which ones they were, but yeah, I

461
00:21:42,279 --> 00:21:45,119
didn't know that they had like those alternate versions. I

462
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,599
imagine like the original ones was the uh because fire

463
00:21:50,319 --> 00:21:52,799
fire red and leaf green those ones were colored, right,

464
00:21:52,839 --> 00:21:56,920
they weren't black and white. Oh, I feel like they

465
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,359
were colored, and then like the regular ones were black

466
00:21:59,359 --> 00:21:59,759
and white.

467
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 2: I thought yellow was the colored one.

468
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: And okay, I can't quite remember, but for whatever reason, yeah,

469
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,079
so I feel like fire red or leaf green would

470
00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:12,279
have been the one that I probably played the most,

471
00:22:12,319 --> 00:22:14,039
like as a kid. So I don't know, I just

472
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,599
kind of wanted to start it on Emerald because I

473
00:22:15,599 --> 00:22:18,279
never played that one specifically. And yeah, it's been lots

474
00:22:18,319 --> 00:22:20,880
of fun, man, I'm I've just been really enjoying it

475
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,079
and enjoying the challenge, like it definitely feels like I

476
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,079
have to strate, like especially like I took Treco as

477
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,640
my starting Pokemon because I never did that one before.

478
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,720
I think I did Torchic like the first time around,

479
00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:33,720
and my my rival now when they meet me and

480
00:22:33,759 --> 00:22:35,680
they have like Torchick and it's like, oh my god,

481
00:22:35,759 --> 00:22:39,039
I I have Treaco and then like a couple bug pokemons,

482
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,119
so like one ember use just fucking one shot. It's

483
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,400
my Pokemon here, So I kind of had to shift

484
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,039
my strategy a little bit. Obviously, you want to have

485
00:22:46,079 --> 00:22:48,960
a nice, well rounded roster, but that's kind of where

486
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,279
I was at in the early stage of the game,

487
00:22:50,319 --> 00:22:53,200
and uh yeah, it's just it's just so good. I'm

488
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,119
I'm gonna probably keep updating, you know, every every so often.

489
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,400
I'm on the side quest here on my Pokemon Journey

490
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:00,839
because I don't think it's gonna be one that I'm

491
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,279
like grinding, like you know, I'm playing like ten hours

492
00:23:03,319 --> 00:23:05,000
every day until like like complete the Poke X or

493
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,319
something like that. But it's just like a nice little

494
00:23:06,319 --> 00:23:08,799
casual background game. Like if I don't know, Shane are

495
00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:11,480
also watching like Shit's Creek right now, which is just fantastic,

496
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,119
So like have that on in the background, playing some

497
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,319
Pokemon on the couch, like it's just yeah, it's fun.

498
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,519
I don't know, I'm not like the biggest Pokemon fan,

499
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,759
but it's definitely, especially the people around our age range.

500
00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:24,680
You know, I feel like it's just like it's probably

501
00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:27,119
rare if you play video games back then and didn't

502
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,359
get like exposed to at least a Pokemon game. Uh,

503
00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:32,680
definitely a big part of just my growing up, even

504
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,759
just like the cards and everything. So yeah, and another

505
00:23:36,799 --> 00:23:39,079
thing too, when I was like playing Pokemon Sword and Shield,

506
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,480
I'm like, I don't fucking know any of these Pokemon

507
00:23:41,559 --> 00:23:43,960
man like, like like like some of these designs now

508
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,319
are just like so goofy in my mind, Like it's

509
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:47,920
just so like on the nose or it's like back

510
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,519
in the day they just have like like just some

511
00:23:49,759 --> 00:23:51,960
like I don't know, nose pass. That was one that

512
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,839
I was fighting today out of like what a fucking

513
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,759
stupid Pokemon. But like I don't know, just compared to

514
00:23:55,799 --> 00:23:58,279
some of the more modern ones, I definitely prefer that.

515
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,079
And yeah, I just just really liking it. So that's

516
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,559
kind of been my quick little summary of what I

517
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:10,000
have been playing. Yeah, I think that's kind of college

518
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,480
football here and there, you know, getting in the football vibe,

519
00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:15,240
which has been fun and officially challenged Travis, we're gonna

520
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,079
be playing that on stream now for the charity stream,

521
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,279
and he did because you know, if anyone out there

522
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,519
is a deep follower of the old Gauntlet reigns, I've

523
00:24:23,559 --> 00:24:26,279
never beaten Travis in a Madden game before, so his

524
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,039
little asterix was like, well, if I beat him in

525
00:24:28,039 --> 00:24:30,599
college football, it's not Madden. So you know, he's already

526
00:24:30,599 --> 00:24:33,559
making his excuses like prepping for the loss, which you know,

527
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,799
hopefully I can deliver for him. But yeah, that's kind

528
00:24:36,799 --> 00:24:38,359
of been my gaming news. I mean, I was on

529
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,960
last week, so not so much has happened since.

530
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 2: But I was gonna say, like, if you didn't have

531
00:24:44,039 --> 00:24:47,519
the emulator for playing like Epical and Emerald, a good

532
00:24:47,519 --> 00:24:52,920
one for the SWITCH would be Diamond and Pearl because

533
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,799
then he made those ones for Switch, so they're higher quality.

534
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: Which one is that?

535
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,519
Speaker 2: Sorry you said, Shining Pearl, Brilliant Diamond? I think it is.

536
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,759
Speaker 1: What was the original version? Like what was the older game?

537
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 2: Just Diamond and Pearl?

538
00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: Oh okay, it was Diamond and then they.

539
00:25:09,519 --> 00:25:13,039
Speaker 2: Had Platinum, which that's the version I still have that one.

540
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:14,759
That's the one that I like. That's kind of like

541
00:25:14,799 --> 00:25:16,799
the Emerald equivalent for that.

542
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: Okay, like the Triple Game or the Third Game.

543
00:25:19,519 --> 00:25:21,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, which I wish they did still it would

544
00:25:21,799 --> 00:25:23,160
be really nice they kept at it.

545
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, hopefully I crossed it off my list

546
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,440
on my Pokemon Adventures. But uh yeah, so.

547
00:25:30,559 --> 00:25:31,519
Speaker 2: Glad you're doing Emerald.

548
00:25:32,319 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: Yeah me too, ray Quas on the on the cover,

549
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,160
I was just like, oh, man, what's this game? And

550
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,039
then yeah, I did the little google there and then

551
00:25:38,079 --> 00:25:40,920
I saw that you you fight both foes there, which

552
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,119
is great. But all right, let's move on to our

553
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,240
you know, first official topic of the evening, which is

554
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,960
which is fun that I have you here? Uh? Actually,

555
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,440
I'm gonna add on to quick little games. Have been

556
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,759
playing Taylor Field? Have you played?

557
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,039
Speaker 2: You must have played.

558
00:25:56,799 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: Wildlins back in the day. Hey, I say back in

559
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,240
the day. It's not that old of my game, but

560
00:26:01,319 --> 00:26:02,799
it feels like an old game now.

561
00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 2: I played.

562
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,759
Speaker 1: Man, such a fucking great game. I I think I

563
00:26:09,839 --> 00:26:12,160
put like I don't know, I got it on Steam

564
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,279
years ago, and I think I have like eighty ninety

565
00:26:14,279 --> 00:26:16,039
hours on it. Like I totally got hooked. I never

566
00:26:16,079 --> 00:26:19,359
finished the story, but I just loved like taking down

567
00:26:20,759 --> 00:26:23,559
like you know, like the the little outposts and whatnot,

568
00:26:23,599 --> 00:26:26,079
and just like the strategy element to I absolutely loved.

569
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,599
And yeah, I really really loved that game. I never

570
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,200
really had like anyone that had it like on another

571
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,519
system to play with, which which would have been much better.

572
00:26:34,599 --> 00:26:37,079
But uh, it was still really fun. I still had

573
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,039
a blast with it. And then yeah, I was on

574
00:26:39,079 --> 00:26:43,519
PlayStation Catalog and I saw Ghosty Gun Breakpoint, which is

575
00:26:43,519 --> 00:26:45,240
like the next game in the series. That's one that

576
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,240
they had John burnhal In, did you ever play that one?

577
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 2: No? I heard bad things, so I never bothered.

578
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,079
Speaker 1: Man, it's so funny because like I was definitely just

579
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,480
wanting like an itch scratch of like getting into the

580
00:26:55,559 --> 00:26:59,920
I like because it is the second out of the Wildlands. Uh, saga,

581
00:27:00,079 --> 00:27:02,240
don't I guess they're kind of connected. That's like some

582
00:27:02,319 --> 00:27:05,000
of the characters are the same, but like the villain's not.

583
00:27:05,039 --> 00:27:07,599
It's kind of weird because this game is a lot

584
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,759
more It's a lot more of a story, I would say,

585
00:27:10,839 --> 00:27:12,839
like like like your characters are a lot more like

586
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,160
a personality to them, like in the in the cut

587
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,519
scenes and stuff, they're like talking and there's just it

588
00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:20,640
just seems like there's a lot more like cut scenes

589
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,680
and dialogue amongst characters, Like they're trying to make it

590
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,799
more of a cinematic experience, and man, what a mistake

591
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,079
in my mind, Like like, like the gameplay of this

592
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,519
game is much better than Wildlands, and like that's not

593
00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:34,720
even saying like Wildlands gameplay was bad. It's just like

594
00:27:34,759 --> 00:27:37,359
I really like what they've added gameplay wise into this game.

595
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,839
Like I really do like a lot of the features

596
00:27:39,839 --> 00:27:43,680
they've added in this game. And yeah, just like I

597
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,359
do really like what they've done with it. But man,

598
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,799
I just find myself cringing and like any time my

599
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,680
character talks, and like I I I I had to

600
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,880
change my character to a female character just because I

601
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,400
hated the male voice actor that was doing like the

602
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,240
main and just some of the lines that they haven't doing.

603
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,359
It's so cringey. It's so cringey. And something that I

604
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,759
absolutely love that they added into this game is you

605
00:28:06,799 --> 00:28:10,119
know how in oh my gosh, what was that called?

606
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,480
What was the online game that they did Division? So

607
00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:16,559
you know in that how it's like your weapon like

608
00:28:16,599 --> 00:28:18,880
you level it up or or yeah, you just level

609
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,240
you get different like ge you're kind of like Diablo. Yeah,

610
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,240
and then when you're shooting headshots, you're just doing criticals,

611
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,960
but you're not like killing the guy or anything like that.

612
00:28:25,319 --> 00:28:28,920
This game likes like out of the box of Vanilla.

613
00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:31,000
That is the game system, like you level up your

614
00:28:31,039 --> 00:28:33,480
guns and whatnot to do that. But they also have

615
00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:36,759
an immersive mode which it just completely disregards all weapon

616
00:28:36,839 --> 00:28:39,240
levels anything like that and makes it a more immersive experience.

617
00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:41,640
So how it would be like in a classic single

618
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,880
player you know, like like Ghost Recon game where you

619
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,079
snipe someone in the head and you like actually kill them,

620
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,200
you know, barrin They don't have like a big helmet

621
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,400
on or something. But like, I love that that is

622
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,720
just a feature because someone like me that doesn't really

623
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,480
care about like grinding and like rating to get like

624
00:28:56,519 --> 00:28:58,680
a purple gun or something like that, can just go

625
00:28:58,799 --> 00:29:02,200
in and play it like a more like the mercive

626
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,960
experience you can. The accessibility options in this game are

627
00:29:05,079 --> 00:29:08,039
also just really fantastic, So the actual gameplay and the

628
00:29:08,079 --> 00:29:12,000
accessibility of what this game is massive fan of. But man,

629
00:29:12,039 --> 00:29:13,920
I wish there's an option to just skip every single

630
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,200
cut scene and dialogue. I like, it is just so

631
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,240
cringey to me. And it's just like, man, I really

632
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,880
like a lot of what the gameplay loops that US

633
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,359
has in their games whether it's like the far Cry

634
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,920
games even like a sad like like just I really

635
00:29:29,039 --> 00:29:32,359
like Ubisoft games for the games, but like I don't know,

636
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,440
just just like witnessing the story in this, it's just like, what,

637
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,440
like this is not even necessary too, Like it's not

638
00:29:38,519 --> 00:29:40,759
like it's not like I'm playing this for the story, right,

639
00:29:40,799 --> 00:29:42,920
I'm not in this to like follow John Burnhal and

640
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,400
find out why he like betrayed the US military and

641
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,920
like this big, like hoorah type story that we're trying

642
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,480
to have and like just having like my protagonist is

643
00:29:53,519 --> 00:29:55,480
like a really unlikable character. Like I don't know, it's

644
00:29:55,519 --> 00:29:57,559
just I'm really not liking that aspect to it. But

645
00:29:58,359 --> 00:30:00,519
gameplay wise it's fantastic, So I'm kind of caught in

646
00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:03,279
the middle. I would definitely recommend it though, you know,

647
00:30:03,319 --> 00:30:07,880
if you're a fan of wild Lands, because it's pretty

648
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,000
much very similar gameplay, But yeah, story's really not that

649
00:30:11,079 --> 00:30:14,200
good and I kind of like I had only really

650
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,480
heard bad things going into it as well, so I

651
00:30:16,559 --> 00:30:18,720
was kind of cautious you know when I when I

652
00:30:18,759 --> 00:30:22,039
downloaded it. If they had Breakpoint and Wildlands on the catalog,

653
00:30:22,039 --> 00:30:24,160
I probably would have downloaded wild Lands again. Honestly just

654
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,359
because of what I heard. But I am glad I

655
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,599
jumped in there just for, like I said, like the

656
00:30:28,839 --> 00:30:32,519
new gameplay features they included, and just some little quality

657
00:30:32,519 --> 00:30:34,839
of life updates that they've had or sorry that they

658
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:39,079
brought into this one versus the first game. So yeah,

659
00:30:39,119 --> 00:30:40,599
I've been liking it so far. I'm only like a

660
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,680
couple hours in, but uh yeah, it's definitely scratching that

661
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,200
itch of just being the grassy knoll up in the

662
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,640
the wilderness and sniping and taking down You can actually

663
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,599
like melee in this game too, which you couldn't really

664
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,920
in wild Lands, which is a big deal. So that's nice.

665
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,400
And my last game I've been playing.

666
00:30:59,359 --> 00:31:01,359
Speaker 2: In Wildlife did you ever do the Predator?

667
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,319
Speaker 1: I did? I did, and I did it by accident.

668
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,039
I think I don't know what was I think I had.

669
00:31:08,039 --> 00:31:10,319
Like I used to play that game with like music on,

670
00:31:10,359 --> 00:31:12,200
which was weird because it's like it's also a game

671
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,680
you kind of want to like hear things, you know,

672
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,599
whether you hear like bad guys or something. But like

673
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,799
I would just have music on in the background. I

674
00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:24,680
just remember like seeing like the little like chat like

675
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,319
what do they call their active camouflage, like the little

676
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,000
ripple thing, I'm like, that's weird. That's a weird bug.

677
00:31:30,119 --> 00:31:32,599
And then like up in like the objective thing, it

678
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,160
says like tracking there or something along those lines, I'm like,

679
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,519
how the fuck did I start this Predator mission? And

680
00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:41,160
like they also had a like a splinter Cell like

681
00:31:41,519 --> 00:31:44,079
mission on there too, So I like I had gotten

682
00:31:44,119 --> 00:31:46,119
the game like years after it had come out, So

683
00:31:46,279 --> 00:31:48,759
whatever version I had acquired, it was like the Deluxe

684
00:31:48,759 --> 00:31:50,680
with like everything in it, So I had all those

685
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,640
things already added, and uh, classy Ubisoft too, you could

686
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,599
like update, like you could change your clothes to have

687
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,119
like an Ultai year outfit or something like the sad Yeah,

688
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,000
so like all that's of like Ubisoft usually does. But yeah,

689
00:32:02,039 --> 00:32:05,000
I know, I totally a good shout out that Predator.

690
00:32:05,319 --> 00:32:07,960
That Predator mission. It's very fitting too, because it's like

691
00:32:08,799 --> 00:32:11,960
you kind of feel like like Butcher's Crew, you know,

692
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,599
like not in the eighties, but just like that elite

693
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,920
force of like a military groove going in there to

694
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,000
like hunt something in the woods. Like it just or

695
00:32:19,039 --> 00:32:21,440
the jungles rather, it just like it totally fits the

696
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,440
overall aesthetic and obviously the same thing with the splinters

697
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,160
as well. That's more realistic maybe than having a big

698
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,720
alien hunting you. But yeah, that was a hard mission too.

699
00:32:30,559 --> 00:32:33,559
In that game, he was really tanky. I remember I

700
00:32:33,599 --> 00:32:36,720
had to kind of cheese the the kill in order

701
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,319
to get him with my my soldiers or whatnot. But

702
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:44,079
uh yeah, Breakpoint, man, that's one that, like, you know,

703
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,279
if it's just like it's the same thing with Wild Lance.

704
00:32:47,319 --> 00:32:48,720
If we just had like the same console when that

705
00:32:48,759 --> 00:32:50,880
game came out, I could just totally see us sinking

706
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,519
hours into that game. I feel like we would have

707
00:32:52,519 --> 00:32:55,240
a similar play style because I like, I just I

708
00:32:55,319 --> 00:32:59,119
just had so much fun like dissecting like an outpost

709
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,119
and just like what's the best and like get your

710
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,640
drone in there, get like the whole aerial view and

711
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,599
like you kind of know everything and just like really

712
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,480
like strategically take it out and like, yeah, when I

713
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,920
play those games, I play like max difficulty and like

714
00:33:11,039 --> 00:33:14,000
all like minimal hud and like everything like that. And

715
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,680
in Breakpoint, they they added just so much more features

716
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,960
for that like realism aspect to it, which is which

717
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,000
I just I love.

718
00:33:21,119 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 2: So, yeah, did you do the terminator event in Breakpoint?

719
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:25,519
Because that's pretty cool.

720
00:33:25,519 --> 00:33:27,119
Speaker 1: They added that, No, I didn't even know that was

721
00:33:27,119 --> 00:33:30,480
in the game, So that's cool. That's cool to see. Yeah,

722
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:35,240
neat neat. So yeah, that's my little DLC for my games.

723
00:33:35,279 --> 00:33:38,079
Have been playing section, but no getting over to Ubisoft.

724
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,839
That's what drew my attention to it. Apparently we got

725
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,119
some upie soft stuff going on, we got some delays,

726
00:33:45,279 --> 00:33:47,680
acy shadows or are you looking forward to that game?

727
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 2: Just overall?

728
00:33:48,359 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: Like like that was your hype level on it?

729
00:33:50,279 --> 00:33:53,119
Speaker 2: My high level is pretty high, pretty pretty high. I've

730
00:33:53,119 --> 00:33:56,680
been chatting with Ruben about it. We're looking at, you know,

731
00:33:56,799 --> 00:34:01,359
possibly doing some discussions about it, maybe reviving something.

732
00:34:01,519 --> 00:34:02,559
Speaker 1: We'll see.

733
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, drops, We're we're pretty stoked on it and pretty

734
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:14,199
hype for it. It's it's unfortunate because currently I think

735
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,880
that I am with you now and losing the video

736
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,079
game draft with what we're going to talk about.

737
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: Welcome, Welcome to the show.

738
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the game itself, they have so many little

739
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,679
quality of life additions to the mechanics of the game

740
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:34,199
that really got me excited, and I was looking forward

741
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:37,599
to seeing a little bit more gameplay reveals, but they've

742
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,599
canned a lot of the kind of presentations and stuff

743
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,280
right now in lieu of just dropping their notice for

744
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,840
what we're going to talk about with Assassin's Creed Shadows.

745
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,119
But I think a little bit of coming off of

746
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,679
my goodness, my gosh, why can't I remember the name

747
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,599
of the show Showgun.

748
00:34:58,519 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, for Disney, Yes, Jesuise.

749
00:35:02,159 --> 00:35:04,559
Speaker 2: That just put me right into that world, and thinking, oh,

750
00:35:04,599 --> 00:35:07,440
my gosh, I'm so stoked to get into sasas Crete Shadow.

751
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:11,280
It's going to be frickin' awesome. But I'm not worried

752
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,679
about the condition of the game right now. I think

753
00:35:14,679 --> 00:35:17,559
that whatever needed to happen right now, they got to

754
00:35:17,639 --> 00:35:20,960
just kind of polish it off and let it take form.

755
00:35:21,519 --> 00:35:24,880
Ruben was telling me that there are two kind of

756
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,559
communities right now. I think people that are just I'm

757
00:35:27,639 --> 00:35:31,199
hopefully not saying this incorrectly, but there are some fans

758
00:35:31,199 --> 00:35:33,239
that are just a little bit upset in the representation

759
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,519
of certain things in the game, and other people that

760
00:35:35,559 --> 00:35:36,960
are just like, hey, well, it's just a game. I

761
00:35:37,039 --> 00:35:38,239
just want to play it. So there's kind of like

762
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:39,880
a little bit of a divide in the community that's

763
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,079
just kind of being dealt with, And so I don't

764
00:35:43,079 --> 00:35:45,840
think that that's necessarily a reason for why they would

765
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,400
delay the game. I think that there is probably something

766
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,199
that is more heavily involved, maybe something back end that

767
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,760
would cause such a thing. To me, I don't think

768
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,639
you'd be soft really delays their games often. I mean

769
00:35:57,679 --> 00:36:00,000
I have unless you're like a Division two or something

770
00:36:00,079 --> 00:36:04,079
them like that. But Avatar was that yeah, you know

771
00:36:04,119 --> 00:36:08,920
what I mean my words A ten years it felt

772
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,000
like fuck four.

773
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,119
Speaker 1: Weeks, ten days helped me to refect.

774
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 2: I would act when I said, yeah, I was delaying

775
00:36:17,519 --> 00:36:21,679
all their games right now? Not good? But I mean,

776
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,000
I what's the last one that you played? Because Mirage

777
00:36:25,119 --> 00:36:25,840
was the last one.

778
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: But if I create this, yes, Odyssey would have been

779
00:36:28,519 --> 00:36:34,320
the last one I played. I Assassin's Create. You know,

780
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,000
I have like an interesting relationship with where like the

781
00:36:37,039 --> 00:36:43,280
first four games, like definitely the et CEO, like like

782
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,599
that era of the game. I feel like that was

783
00:36:45,679 --> 00:36:49,360
just like my peak on Assassin's Creed assess Creed two

784
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,599
has always been my favorite of of the bunch, just

785
00:36:52,599 --> 00:36:54,840
because I had so much hype for that game. It

786
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,920
was like my most anticipate Like I remember just watching

787
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,199
like the E three demo like multiple times. I was

788
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,519
just couldn't leave what they had added, you know, a

789
00:37:01,639 --> 00:37:05,360
jump up from the first game to that one too,

790
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,760
I did. I got all the feathers. That was like,

791
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,039
that was like one of my biggest platinum achievements of

792
00:37:11,039 --> 00:37:13,440
all time. That and Modern Warfare two. I remember grinding

793
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,119
for those those stars, those sixty nine stars and in

794
00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:19,480
the Specops mode. But uh, yeah, I know back for

795
00:37:19,519 --> 00:37:22,800
as Creed, Yeah, Odyssey, I think it would have been

796
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,159
my last one. And another thing for the PlayStation catalog

797
00:37:26,159 --> 00:37:28,480
if anyone out there doesn't know, they have like a

798
00:37:28,559 --> 00:37:32,440
Ubisoft collection, so I think like pretty much all the

799
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,800
Assassiness Cred games are on there. And uh I kept

800
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,599
looking at that list and just thinking of like, man,

801
00:37:37,639 --> 00:37:39,760
I kind of want to jump back into that, but

802
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,480
like which one would I jump into. Black Flag was

803
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,960
always one that I I remember just really really loving,

804
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,639
like it was just so much fun to play because

805
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,119
you're just kind of a pirate, like you know, it's

806
00:37:49,159 --> 00:37:52,199
it's just a really fun game to play. More so

807
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,079
than in my AM I invested in this like really

808
00:37:54,119 --> 00:37:56,840
good assassin story kind of maybe how I felt the

809
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,159
the etso ones kind of were. But I also was

810
00:38:00,199 --> 00:38:05,760
really interested in what's it called? What's the egypt one? Origins?

811
00:38:06,079 --> 00:38:06,559
Speaker 2: Origins?

812
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,079
Speaker 1: Origins? I was really interested in that one too. Was

813
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,400
how that one too? Like not necessarily numbers wise, but

814
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:13,559
just like, what do you think of it? Was that

815
00:38:13,599 --> 00:38:14,119
a good one?

816
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 2: I could not tell you based on my memory how

817
00:38:17,519 --> 00:38:21,559
well it was received. I feel like personally for me

818
00:38:21,639 --> 00:38:24,880
it was great. That was the first Assassin'squed. They decided

819
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,480
to take a year off and kind of like Skippy

820
00:38:27,519 --> 00:38:30,639
year right two years before we got that title and released,

821
00:38:30,679 --> 00:38:33,920
and they did a whole new combat system. They really

822
00:38:34,039 --> 00:38:35,920
changed a lot of different dynamics and the way your

823
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,480
character's moving around and whatnot, and it really really worked

824
00:38:39,519 --> 00:38:41,920
for me. I liked it. They had it so that

825
00:38:43,119 --> 00:38:45,840
in the original Assassin's Creeds there wasn't really a level.

826
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:52,320
There was basically you get different weapons and the combat

827
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,920
was very baseline. It felt very story driven for a game,

828
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,400
and you could just go in and do different cool

829
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,360
assassinations and whatnot. But they've changed the dynamic and the

830
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,760
mechanic a little bit more, where you have a level

831
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,800
to your character and you have different bosses you're fighting

832
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,039
that are higher levels that you have to engage with,

833
00:39:09,079 --> 00:39:12,159
and you get better gear, but you can choose certain

834
00:39:12,199 --> 00:39:14,840
weapons that do more damage, you can choose better armor,

835
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,960
you can upgrade your armor. Yeaha yeah, yeadha, you can

836
00:39:17,039 --> 00:39:20,199
unlock abilities. So they've really really been fine tuning that.

837
00:39:20,639 --> 00:39:24,480
And so that was something Origins had introduced with the

838
00:39:24,559 --> 00:39:27,760
movements and everything, and that's something that they've been carrying forward.

839
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,719
And I feel like with every single, every single addition

840
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,880
to the franchise, they have been just tweaking it more

841
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,320
and more and more. Now Odyssey or sorry, our Origins

842
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,920
was nice because you could just go wherever you wanted,

843
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:42,840
Like a previous Assassin' screen you could do, but you

844
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:44,920
can go anywhere. Here. You go to a base that

845
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,679
you're severely outranked, out leveled, and you could still try

846
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,079
and fight it, but the game try to coaxes you

847
00:39:52,199 --> 00:39:55,159
into doing like, hey, do this area first before going off,

848
00:39:55,199 --> 00:39:57,079
and make sure you level up before you go to

849
00:39:57,159 --> 00:39:58,760
like the super difficult area.

850
00:39:59,079 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, no, I I definitely want to cross that

851
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,000
one off my list. It's just because, like I also

852
00:40:05,039 --> 00:40:07,239
really like the era that it's in, like the Ancient

853
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,239
Egypt factor is really interesting, and but like I also

854
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:15,159
still have Odyssey that like I also love that that

855
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,119
era and everything, and I feel like I did quite

856
00:40:18,199 --> 00:40:21,159
enjoy the story of what was going on. How there's

857
00:40:21,199 --> 00:40:23,159
kind of like a fact like you you can kind

858
00:40:23,199 --> 00:40:25,280
of choose like where you want to side with on it,

859
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:26,960
Like I did like all of that aspect to it.

860
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,960
I like it all the naval battles that was introduced

861
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,559
in My Goodness would that have been the third game now?

862
00:40:32,599 --> 00:40:36,440
And the naval was introduced nice and I love that

863
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:37,960
game too, So it's like do I want to jump back?

864
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,880
And itsas the Grade three that that was one that

865
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:44,039
was just fantastic, so that there's there's some great juice

866
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,679
in those catalogs. But they're also like with most Ubisoft games,

867
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,599
they're kind of time sinky, you know, like for and

868
00:40:50,639 --> 00:40:52,159
not in the sense that you're like grinding the same

869
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,519
dungeon or something. But there's just so much to explore

870
00:40:54,599 --> 00:40:58,079
and do. And I don't my play style for those games,

871
00:40:58,079 --> 00:41:00,199
like I don't like just like be lining it for

872
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,480
like the next story like line or something like. I

873
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,559
do kind of want to explore the the overall world,

874
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,719
and there's a lot to explore in those games. So yeah,

875
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,039
I don't know, it's I'm gonna be jumping back into

876
00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:12,519
them at some point for me, with you know, tying

877
00:41:12,559 --> 00:41:15,920
back into Saskreen Shadows here, unfortunately, I just feel like

878
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,360
it's a it's a matter of I already kind of

879
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:22,440
got that that it scratched with Ghost of Tsushima, like

880
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,119
when that came out, Like that was my big Samurai

881
00:41:26,199 --> 00:41:27,960
release that I've been wanting since like I was a

882
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,760
little kid. It's like, when is the Sasara gonna do

883
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,519
the feudal Japan era? And here we are, you know,

884
00:41:32,639 --> 00:41:35,800
after the release of like multiple Samurai and like Ninja

885
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,480
type games throughout the years. And that's not to say

886
00:41:38,519 --> 00:41:41,519
that you know, there wasn't any before ghosts Shima. It's

887
00:41:41,559 --> 00:41:44,159
just like for that build up, that kind of scratched

888
00:41:44,159 --> 00:41:46,960
that it's there, and I really love that game. You know,

889
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,719
we're gonna be talking about the next game in that

890
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:53,840
series here shortly. But for Saskreen Shadows, I feel like

891
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,920
it's also just because I've kind of been tapped out

892
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,960
of the series as a whole. I don't feel like

893
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,800
as invested jump in there. But I don't know, like

894
00:42:02,519 --> 00:42:05,519
I think of I think maybe eventually I'll jump in there,

895
00:42:05,519 --> 00:42:07,599
but it's also I don't know Like, even if this

896
00:42:07,639 --> 00:42:09,519
game was out right now and I had the whole

897
00:42:09,599 --> 00:42:12,960
catalog of sasas Creen Assassin's Creed games to jump into,

898
00:42:13,119 --> 00:42:15,400
and I had time to just jump into whichever one

899
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,199
I want, I probably wouldn't choose Shadows. Honestly. I would

900
00:42:18,199 --> 00:42:22,800
probably choose Origins or jump into Odyssey again because I

901
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,360
do want to see that story completed. But yeah, no,

902
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:32,039
I think it's it's not just because I don't know.

903
00:42:32,079 --> 00:42:34,840
I don't want to say it's just because of the

904
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,159
ghost of Shima like like scratching my age, like like

905
00:42:37,199 --> 00:42:40,039
there was also other factors on why I wouldn't want

906
00:42:40,039 --> 00:42:40,840
to jump into it right now.

907
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,599
Speaker 2: But I don't know is Shadow is going to be

908
00:42:44,639 --> 00:42:47,039
played before or after Since of a Solar Empire too,

909
00:42:48,079 --> 00:42:51,320
Oh well after, come on, that's okay to my car

910
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:51,519
right now.

911
00:42:51,519 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it right here on this Yeah, I'm

912
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,199
just like my mouth is just hovering. I'm like shaking

913
00:42:56,199 --> 00:43:00,719
this whole episode. Definitely Sense of Solar Empire to the

914
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,840
I'm definitely going to check the performance though of hopefully

915
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,360
my computer can run it, because you know, my computer

916
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,760
is still kicking, but it's it's definitely in its later

917
00:43:10,039 --> 00:43:13,320
later life cycle. It's it's gonna have to get replaced

918
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,280
here pretty soon. But yeah, looking for it, Sins. But

919
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,119
what else we got for your Assassin's Creed Shadows we have?

920
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:24,679
Oh yeah, so it's now been delayed to February fourteenth.

921
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,519
The original release date I imagine would have been November.

922
00:43:27,599 --> 00:43:32,039
That's kind of their slott a. Yeah, and I don't know.

923
00:43:32,079 --> 00:43:33,960
I don't really have much to say about the delay

924
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,719
because I'm not, like, you know, itching to get onto

925
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,599
this title. But also I would always rather a game

926
00:43:40,599 --> 00:43:43,440
get delayed than release half finished and just kind of

927
00:43:43,679 --> 00:43:45,559
collect people's money and call it a day and leave

928
00:43:45,599 --> 00:43:48,320
it at that. I definitely would rather the product be

929
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:52,000
more finished. But in talks of like what could be

930
00:43:52,039 --> 00:43:54,000
the cause, it's just I don't know. I would imagine

931
00:43:54,039 --> 00:43:57,679
just performance for performance issues, and hopefully the game launches

932
00:43:57,679 --> 00:43:59,719
and it's it's really it's really great. Hopefully they hit

933
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:04,000
the grand running there, Dylan. Out of this and the

934
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,000
little notes here, I'm gonna ask you, Taylor Field, do

935
00:44:07,039 --> 00:44:09,719
you think Saskreen Shadows releasing the same year as Ghosts

936
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,679
of Yo Tai, which is the new Ghost of Skushima game.

937
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,400
I hope I'm pronouncing that right, Do you think it's

938
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,000
a bad idea to be releasing them in the same year.

939
00:44:19,559 --> 00:44:23,559
Speaker 2: I think the same year is fine, but I think, like,

940
00:44:23,599 --> 00:44:26,119
when is that Ghost game releasing? I don't actually know

941
00:44:26,199 --> 00:44:26,840
when it's released.

942
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: Twenty would be my guest. That's based on that note date.

943
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:36,159
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll pull it up by time. I think that

944
00:44:36,559 --> 00:44:38,159
releasing the same year is fine. Like I said, I

945
00:44:38,159 --> 00:44:40,320
think if it's releasing the same month or within the

946
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,599
same like three month span between is a little risky.

947
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,679
Speaker 1: I says twenty twenty five for now, so I imagine

948
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,679
it would be summer earliest summer.

949
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, then I think that that's totally fine. There's enough

950
00:44:53,559 --> 00:44:56,599
time in between there, and especially if this releases before Ghosts,

951
00:44:56,639 --> 00:44:59,079
then there's that. Of course, people could choose to save

952
00:44:59,079 --> 00:45:06,400
their dollar, but Assassin's Creed has that longstanding, it has

953
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,639
the position that it's been on for a long long time.

954
00:45:09,679 --> 00:45:12,320
So I think people that will go with Ghosts instead

955
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,199
and drop their money that way are going to be

956
00:45:14,199 --> 00:45:17,159
people that feel like they know what Assassin's Creed and

957
00:45:17,199 --> 00:45:18,920
you be Soft is going to be delivering with this game,

958
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:23,239
and they're just going to have that expectation set. Totally fine.

959
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,039
I mean, you're you're gonna be winning with both of

960
00:45:25,039 --> 00:45:28,920
these games. I don't see one being like the wrong choice.

961
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:30,280
I think both of them are going to be unique

962
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,000
in their own way, and I think if you know

963
00:45:32,039 --> 00:45:33,760
which one you want to experience, you're going to go

964
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,039
that way. I think both will be successful, though, because

965
00:45:36,519 --> 00:45:38,760
there's a lot of people that are like Assassin's Creed

966
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,280
still is a huge following and there's a lot of

967
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,519
people that are just waiting for this game. Downside being

968
00:45:42,519 --> 00:45:45,000
February fourteenth is that is Valentine's Day and I am

969
00:45:45,039 --> 00:45:47,440
one of those people that does celebrate it with my

970
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:51,360
significant others. So I will probably not be playing it

971
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,920
the day of for whatever reason you'd be soft chose

972
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:59,039
to do that day. It'll probably be played on the weekend.

973
00:45:59,639 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 1: So yes, fantastic. Sorry, I was I was looking up

974
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,599
how to say the title of Ghost of Yo Yo Ta.

975
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,639
I think that's how you say it, Yo Die. I

976
00:46:13,599 --> 00:46:15,480
imagine I'm gonna be saying it a lot tonight, so

977
00:46:15,639 --> 00:46:18,079
I hope. I I was trying to trying to find

978
00:46:18,079 --> 00:46:22,119
a way to say it, probably, But yeah, for sharing

979
00:46:22,159 --> 00:46:24,480
the year date, I I don't really see too much

980
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,840
of that. I feel like, especially just you know, since

981
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:32,599
Ghosts Kushima came out, like we've had what was that?

982
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,159
What was that from software game that came out before

983
00:46:35,199 --> 00:46:39,280
Ghosts Toshima Sakaro. You know, it's a Soul's type game,

984
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:40,880
so it's a little bit different than what Ghosts, but

985
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,400
it's still the same esthetic. We've now had Rise of

986
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:50,360
the Ronan come out, We've had Black Black Wu Kong

987
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,079
whatever that one's called. I feel like it's not really

988
00:46:53,119 --> 00:46:57,119
the same, but it's also kind of in that ancient Chinese,

989
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,960
you know, type of vibe. But for specific like sam

990
00:47:00,159 --> 00:47:03,400
Right titles, I feel like there's just been quite a

991
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,519
few more out now that I'm kind of used to it.

992
00:47:06,599 --> 00:47:09,559
So like seeing let's say, like the release for the

993
00:47:09,599 --> 00:47:12,280
new Ghosts trailer and then I see like an Assass

994
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,239
Cree Shadows trailer. It's not just like this is just

995
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,159
a rip off of those same games, Like I feel

996
00:47:16,159 --> 00:47:18,280
like I'm just more accustomed to seeing more of the

997
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:23,920
a similar type of just time era and aesthetic as

998
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,280
some others now, so it's not as jarring maybe as

999
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,159
it might have been in the past. Like if if

1000
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,119
I had the first ghost trailer like announcement and then

1001
00:47:32,159 --> 00:47:33,719
this it would have been like, oh my gosh, like

1002
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:35,559
this is kind of funny that we're getting both these

1003
00:47:35,599 --> 00:47:38,000
back to back now. But yeah, I know, I don't

1004
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,920
really think too much of that, especially that Ghosts. You know,

1005
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,159
it doesn't have a concrete date. I can kind of change,

1006
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:48,039
but wherever good, Yeah, who knows, all have the same announcement,

1007
00:47:48,079 --> 00:47:50,159
Well we'll be talking about this and you know, the

1008
00:47:50,199 --> 00:47:56,639
exact same situation. But yeah, no, I don't really think

1009
00:47:56,679 --> 00:47:58,519
too much of it there. And I think kind of,

1010
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:03,960
as you mentioned, Assassin's Creed has like they're key following

1011
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,480
audiences that will be getting the game no matter what

1012
00:48:06,519 --> 00:48:09,719
the era or anything is. As long as the Assassin game,

1013
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,039
they're going to be there and jumping on day one,

1014
00:48:12,119 --> 00:48:15,119
and no matter no matter what they're they're going to

1015
00:48:15,159 --> 00:48:20,320
be there. So I don't really see too much of

1016
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,119
it in that sense, Like I don't really see the

1017
00:48:23,199 --> 00:48:27,239
February release slot making like a big difference numbers wise

1018
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,079
than if they would have just released it in November.

1019
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,599
Maybe November is like a harder time to get the

1020
00:48:32,639 --> 00:48:34,679
games because you're heading into the holidays and most people

1021
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,760
are raither off school or like off off of work

1022
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,360
for like a week around that time, so they have

1023
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,159
a lot of time to kind of grind the game.

1024
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,000
So maybe like fans that were really itching to get

1025
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,800
on it, like obviously that's any delay kind of sucks

1026
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,559
in that sense, but yeah, I'm sure they you know,

1027
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,000
I would have been happy to get a finished product

1028
00:48:52,039 --> 00:48:54,719
as opposed to a very buggy mess and just really

1029
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,360
hate the game and get some some some critical errors.

1030
00:48:59,639 --> 00:49:04,559
So yeah, that's kind of my take on that. And uh,

1031
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,920
the other thing that we got to talk about is

1032
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,239
Ubisoft is coming back to Steam with Saskut Shadows after

1033
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:16,559
the uh, I'll say it nicely, the lack that's not

1034
00:49:16,559 --> 00:49:20,440
even really that nice, lackluster performance wise of Star Wars

1035
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:24,360
Outlaws and X Defiant. I'm sorry, I don't even know

1036
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:28,159
what this game is. I've heard and I never apologize

1037
00:49:28,199 --> 00:49:30,519
everyone that's out there, all the big X Defying listeners.

1038
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,519
Speaker 2: It's a free to play first person shoot.

1039
00:49:32,639 --> 00:49:35,519
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I don't feel bad then for about this.

1040
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,679
Ubisoft admits X Defiant flop adding to companies. We was like,

1041
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,119
just like the first thing I read. Uh, so yeah,

1042
00:49:45,559 --> 00:49:48,599
coming off of the lackluster performance of those previous two titles,

1043
00:49:48,599 --> 00:49:51,360
are gonna be returning to Steam, which I believe they're

1044
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:56,920
loyal to Epic Game Store before that, I should really

1045
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,000
confirm this. I'm normally I just throw it to Dylan.

1046
00:49:59,039 --> 00:50:00,920
He just is such a savan with this stuff. He

1047
00:50:01,039 --> 00:50:03,159
just you know, he just knows all the facts top

1048
00:50:03,159 --> 00:50:05,280
of his head. But uh, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm

1049
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,039
gonna fact check that, so I'm not just fitting stuff

1050
00:50:07,039 --> 00:50:10,320
out of my yin yang here. But uh, I also like,

1051
00:50:11,119 --> 00:50:13,119
what was was it you Play? Was that the Ubi

1052
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:17,519
Soft client? What a fucking piece of ship that was?

1053
00:50:17,599 --> 00:50:21,599
Hey man, I hated You Play, like I feel like

1054
00:50:21,639 --> 00:50:23,639
every time I loaded it up. I'm talking about like,

1055
00:50:23,679 --> 00:50:25,639
you know, now, my computer's kind of at the end

1056
00:50:25,679 --> 00:50:27,760
of its life when it was brand new You Play,

1057
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,960
I swear with like, crash my whole fucking shame. That's

1058
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,400
why I can't run anything now because you play usage

1059
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,079
and it's it's young lifestyle. You know. It's like saying

1060
00:50:38,119 --> 00:50:39,760
to a smoker, like, oh, you're gonna be feeling that

1061
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,320
when you're when you're later on in life. That's when

1062
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,480
my computer fields right now booting up some you Play.

1063
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:45,280
It was going too hard on the you Play, But

1064
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,000
fuck you play. I hated that thing so much. I'm

1065
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,360
glad it's gone. But uh yeah, I I don't know.

1066
00:50:52,119 --> 00:50:54,199
Whenever I play these assassurin games, I'm always more of

1067
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,320
a console guy, so this doesn't really affect me by

1068
00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:00,519
any means. But to me it makes sense, like unless

1069
00:51:00,559 --> 00:51:02,960
epic game stores paying them a buttload of money to

1070
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,960
be exclusive, Like why wouldn't you just be on Steam?

1071
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:09,280
I feel like that is the go to PC. What

1072
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:12,760
would you even call that? Just platform like video game

1073
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,599
shop interface, download or whatever the hell you'd call that.

1074
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, because that opens it up for what people

1075
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,239
can play on their Steam deck, right, So I mean

1076
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:23,480
that's a that's a big factor there.

1077
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, no handhelds now which have you seen one of

1078
00:51:28,119 --> 00:51:30,000
those in the wild? They're actually pretty fucking sweet.

1079
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:31,519
Speaker 2: Oh maybe I have.

1080
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: I have one buddy that has one, And uh, I

1081
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,079
feel like I feel like it took me a while

1082
00:51:37,079 --> 00:51:39,880
to realize that, like you can just play like the

1083
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,320
same like basically Steam games like on there. Like I

1084
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,400
thought it was like kind of how you have like

1085
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,639
a like a PlayStation exclusive game and then you get

1086
00:51:46,639 --> 00:51:51,320
like the PSP version which is like very different, or

1087
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,079
like you know, you'd have like a like a movie

1088
00:51:53,119 --> 00:51:54,880
tie in game, and then you get it on like

1089
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:57,360
the DS and it's like clearly extremely different than if

1090
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:00,280
you would have got on like Xbox V sixty or something. Yeah,

1091
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:04,039
but yeah, it says, you know, you'd be saw for

1092
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,840
June twenty twenty four. They're gonna be on the epic

1093
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,079
game sore. So it's I don't know how that works,

1094
00:52:10,159 --> 00:52:12,880
like if there was a contract, They're just like, this

1095
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:14,840
isn't this isn't working. We're gonna go to Steam. I

1096
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,360
don't know what causes those decisions to happen, but it's

1097
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,679
interesting nonetheless that they they're making the shift, and you know,

1098
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,280
it's just a business decision. It completely makes sense why

1099
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:25,079
they would be doing that.

1100
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to attribute it to probably exclusivity rights

1101
00:52:29,039 --> 00:52:31,000
just for like, hey, we'll give you I can't remember

1102
00:52:31,079 --> 00:52:33,000
how laws came out. We'll give you like three months

1103
00:52:34,159 --> 00:52:37,880
with on this platform or this yeah, this platform, and

1104
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,280
then we'll put it out everywhere else.

1105
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, hell yes, I clicked on a link and

1106
00:52:47,559 --> 00:52:50,000
it just froze my whole system. I apologize.

1107
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:52,079
Speaker 2: You got you play?

1108
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, the computers still troll oed up. You play? You know,

1109
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:02,079
Oh that was the last thing I was gonna mention

1110
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,000
was They also said that it's gonna launch on Steam

1111
00:53:05,119 --> 00:53:07,159
day one. There won't be like a time release like

1112
00:53:07,199 --> 00:53:11,000
if you you know, if they're exclusive to Epic Games,

1113
00:53:11,039 --> 00:53:13,000
it'll come out first on you Play and then Epic

1114
00:53:13,039 --> 00:53:16,840
Games Store and then and then Steam now, But I

1115
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,880
don't know makes it makes sense to me? Like, I

1116
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,559
guess I somewhat get it for like a Sony game

1117
00:53:22,639 --> 00:53:25,760
to be like time delayed on on Steam, But I

1118
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:27,719
don't know. It's not like Ebisoft has their own console

1119
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,000
that they're putting games on, like it's it's fought like

1120
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,280
to me, you would want it to be accessible for

1121
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,519
everyone day one to just like really pad those numbers.

1122
00:53:35,519 --> 00:53:38,000
But what do I know. I've never played a video game,

1123
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,079
never played video game, never made a video game. That

1124
00:53:41,119 --> 00:53:48,280
makes more sense anything else on Sasscreed. No, that's all

1125
00:53:48,599 --> 00:53:50,719
all I got, February.

1126
00:53:52,119 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 2: All I got.

1127
00:53:53,679 --> 00:53:56,760
Speaker 1: That's all you got. Okay, maybe we'll throw in another

1128
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,320
ad break here and then we'll be right back to

1129
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:04,079
carry on and we're back to their field. We had

1130
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:08,760
a couple game shows going on in the past couple

1131
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,599
of weeks. Good Old Sony One, Glad I got you

1132
00:54:12,639 --> 00:54:15,920
here for that fellow, maybe a future Sony boy. We'll see,

1133
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:19,239
we'll make a Sony man out of you yet, but yeah,

1134
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:22,559
stay of play. I don't know, I didn't follow the

1135
00:54:22,559 --> 00:54:25,639
whole thing. I felt like the overall announcements of what

1136
00:54:25,679 --> 00:54:28,679
was going on was a little bit black luster. Like

1137
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,199
I I feel like I didn't really have high expectations,

1138
00:54:31,199 --> 00:54:34,519
but I was still expecting for maybe I or maybe

1139
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:37,320
maybe I'll admit maybe I had higher expectations that I

1140
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,519
would like to admit, But then they came out. It

1141
00:54:39,599 --> 00:54:42,199
was just like, oh, okay, I know. It's it's nice

1142
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,480
that they had the Ghosts image and the little teaser

1143
00:54:44,519 --> 00:54:46,320
there because that's definitely would be like the talk of

1144
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:48,719
the town. And then maybe just a little bit more

1145
00:54:49,159 --> 00:54:51,840
astrobot stuff I think they were talking about on there,

1146
00:54:52,039 --> 00:54:54,880
and uh, just a lot of like you know, remasters

1147
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:59,039
and talking about the new PlayStation five Pro and I

1148
00:54:59,199 --> 00:55:00,960
just saw a lot of memes about that and a

1149
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:02,960
lot of side by side screenshots a lot of people

1150
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,079
are sharing, which which are great. And they also showed

1151
00:55:06,119 --> 00:55:08,280
up some PS five chromas which I'm never gonna get

1152
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,880
or anything like that, but fuck, they look sweet. I

1153
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,119
like the look of them, just like the kind of

1154
00:55:14,119 --> 00:55:16,639
purlescent metallic look of it. It looks, it looks pretty

1155
00:55:16,679 --> 00:55:20,719
damn awesome. But I'm still sticking with my white PS

1156
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:25,880
five that I'm still rocking here. But yeah, I don't know,

1157
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,159
I don't really have much to talk about for like

1158
00:55:28,199 --> 00:55:32,079
specific games other than just ghosts. And even with that,

1159
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,920
like I there's not that much to dissect other than

1160
00:55:35,119 --> 00:55:38,639
we got confirmed that we're not continuing on with Jin's story,

1161
00:55:40,559 --> 00:55:43,199
which I don't even I mean, there might be some

1162
00:55:44,039 --> 00:55:47,239
division amongst that topics, amongst the fans and whatnot, because

1163
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:50,360
Gin was just such a fantastic protagonist. I really like

1164
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,480
the voice actors that played him, whether it was the

1165
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:57,840
the Japanese version or the English version. I actually me

1166
00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:59,480
saying that, I'm pretty sure it was the same actor

1167
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,880
that did both, So I thought he was fantastic. I

1168
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:03,639
really liked a lot of our side characters that were

1169
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,480
in that story, and it was just a fantastic game.

1170
00:56:06,519 --> 00:56:09,360
And I am totally fine jumping to the next one

1171
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,880
with a brand new character. It also just feels like

1172
00:56:12,039 --> 00:56:14,840
you're following his progression of like becoming the ghosts of

1173
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,480
Shashima and then he's like the Ghosts of Shashima, and like,

1174
00:56:18,199 --> 00:56:19,880
what is he just gonna get like stripped of all

1175
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,039
his weapons and going to the next game, Like he's

1176
00:56:22,079 --> 00:56:23,920
just like a level one character get with like like

1177
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,559
like no weapons or anything. Like, I just find it

1178
00:56:26,559 --> 00:56:31,039
would be kind of it would kind of be jarring.

1179
00:56:31,039 --> 00:56:33,360
Seems a little too extreme a word, but it would

1180
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,559
be somewhere along those lines of it. It just feels

1181
00:56:35,599 --> 00:56:38,360
like lazy of just Okay, how do we get Gin

1182
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:40,519
in the next story and like make it believe that

1183
00:56:40,559 --> 00:56:42,599
he's gonna be at the start of his tail to

1184
00:56:42,679 --> 00:56:43,920
the But you know, by the time you're like ten

1185
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,079
hours in, you're gonna feel a lot more souped up

1186
00:56:46,119 --> 00:56:48,480
and ready to kick ass. Just just making a new

1187
00:56:48,599 --> 00:56:51,400
new story, a new character. And I totally trust the

1188
00:56:51,519 --> 00:56:54,639
team like writing that story for just what they're able

1189
00:56:54,639 --> 00:56:56,320
to do with the first game going into second one.

1190
00:56:56,679 --> 00:56:59,199
I totally have faith in them. And I really just

1191
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,480
loved the look of the trailer. Looks like it's Fuji

1192
00:57:02,599 --> 00:57:04,639
like in the background with just all the yellow and

1193
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,159
man ghostu Shima is clearly like to me, it's one

1194
00:57:09,159 --> 00:57:12,320
of the most beautiful looking games I've ever seen in

1195
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,519
my entire life. Just like the vibrant colors that they're

1196
00:57:14,559 --> 00:57:16,880
able to have in that game just really make them

1197
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,480
pop out. And just this little image here of just

1198
00:57:19,519 --> 00:57:23,519
like the really the really like popping yellows that they

1199
00:57:23,599 --> 00:57:24,960
had in here. I don't know, it just it looks

1200
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,880
so pretty to me. So yeah, I'm definitely gonna be

1201
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,920
getting this game. I'm not going to say day one

1202
00:57:31,039 --> 00:57:33,159
right now, but because all it says is twenty twenty five,

1203
00:57:33,199 --> 00:57:34,480
we don't know what's going to be going on in

1204
00:57:34,519 --> 00:57:37,119
that whole year. But yeah, I'm very much looking forward

1205
00:57:37,159 --> 00:57:41,920
to that story. And yeah, no I'm I don't really

1206
00:57:42,119 --> 00:57:45,440
have too much more to add on that one.

1207
00:57:46,239 --> 00:57:49,159
Speaker 2: It looks beautiful. I've not played Ghosts of Kyushima, and

1208
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,360
that being said, it's not something that I just don't

1209
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,199
want to play. I just don't have a PlayStation now.

1210
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:56,679
I can't remember if it's available on PC yet. Through

1211
00:57:56,679 --> 00:57:59,960
your sittym it is. Okay, then that's actually pretty entice.

1212
00:58:00,079 --> 00:58:01,440
Maybe I'll keep my eyes out out it to my

1213
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:04,119
wish list. There's a few Sony exclusives.

1214
00:58:03,599 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: Before or after Sins of a Solar Empire two.

1215
00:58:08,199 --> 00:58:13,079
Speaker 2: Same question, that's a good question.

1216
00:58:14,519 --> 00:58:19,119
Speaker 1: Maybe before oh, Wow, that's surprising. I would have said sins.

1217
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 2: First, I'll seeah, I'll say I'll say sixty forty before

1218
00:58:22,519 --> 00:58:27,639
like that. But I think though that the game definitely

1219
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:32,719
it looks gorgeous and I look forward to seeing what

1220
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,039
they include. Because the trailer had this I don't know

1221
00:58:35,079 --> 00:58:36,480
if this was a feature in the first one, but

1222
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:38,679
the trailer had this, like this scene set up with

1223
00:58:38,679 --> 00:58:40,559
the wolf of the dog, and then it looked like

1224
00:58:40,599 --> 00:58:43,039
the dog kind of stopped the aggressiveness and then kind

1225
00:58:43,079 --> 00:58:45,039
of like just ventured off him. Thinking Okay, do you

1226
00:58:45,039 --> 00:58:46,679
have like a pet that you can kind of use

1227
00:58:46,719 --> 00:58:48,559
and like combat like a companion.

1228
00:58:49,119 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: I could see that actually that that wasn't a game

1229
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,280
mechanic in the first game, but you interact with a

1230
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,679
lot of foxes in the game and they're just really

1231
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:57,239
cute and the most you can do is pet them.

1232
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,760
But I could see building off of just that idea

1233
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:04,960
of like, you know, a neutral pet or animal or

1234
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:06,880
something like that kind of siding with you. They had

1235
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,960
the wind, like the wind was one of you know,

1236
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,480
it's a fantastic game mechanic that they introduced that was

1237
00:59:12,519 --> 00:59:14,320
kind of your compass. You would like swipe up on

1238
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:15,880
the touchpad, and then the wind would blow in the

1239
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:19,119
direction of like your next objective. Just a really sweet,

1240
00:59:19,199 --> 00:59:21,679
minimalistic way of having like a big arrow over your head,

1241
00:59:21,719 --> 00:59:24,400
like pointing a wish direction. So I would imagine we're

1242
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,440
sticking with that system, which it's very minor, but like, man,

1243
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:29,280
I just feel like that little detail goes such a

1244
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,960
long way of because you're you're able to almost have

1245
00:59:32,079 --> 00:59:34,159
like no hud, and because this game is so beautiful,

1246
00:59:34,199 --> 00:59:36,360
you don't really want a hud blocking anything. You want

1247
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:39,199
to see everything, So I am happy. I kind of

1248
00:59:39,199 --> 00:59:41,320
took that as just like, yeah, that that same thing

1249
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,800
as in this game, and I'm loving it. She also

1250
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:47,719
had like a banjo or something on her back in

1251
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,320
the clip, and I'm like, fuck, please let me play

1252
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:57,559
some some sweet Samurai twangs, some twangs. Sorry, I can

1253
00:59:57,599 --> 00:59:59,039
I cut you off? Oh no, no no.

1254
00:59:59,079 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 2: I was just saying to.

1255
01:00:02,079 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, the wolf, and then just adding on to like

1256
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:10,079
any potential new game mechanics. I'm sure there'll be a

1257
01:00:10,119 --> 01:00:13,079
bunch of little quality of life improvements here, but the

1258
01:00:13,079 --> 01:00:16,159
game is just really solid a release that it's kind

1259
01:00:16,159 --> 01:00:18,559
of like to me with how I felt about Spider

1260
01:00:18,599 --> 01:00:22,039
Man two. That I think the overall story was like

1261
01:00:22,199 --> 01:00:24,960
slightly better, and everything was pretty much the first game,

1262
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:26,840
but just like better. It's funny we're kind of talking

1263
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,360
about like Sins of Soilar Empire two reviews are kind

1264
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,440
of that as well, Like if you like the first game,

1265
01:00:31,519 --> 01:00:34,760
it's basically that with some added features, so ten o

1266
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:36,559
ten because the first one was just that great, and

1267
01:00:36,559 --> 01:00:39,199
I would expect the same thing going into this one,

1268
01:00:39,199 --> 01:00:41,159
because that's how I felt for Spider Man two. It

1269
01:00:41,239 --> 01:00:42,400
was just like, yeah, no, it just felt like I

1270
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:44,159
was playing Spider Man one with just more stuff to do.

1271
01:00:44,199 --> 01:00:46,280
And that's not a negative by any means, Like you

1272
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,400
don't want to stray too far from the formula that

1273
01:00:49,119 --> 01:00:53,559
obviously worked. Gushima was a fantastic game, so that one,

1274
01:00:53,679 --> 01:00:56,400
like I will have high expectations for. I think I'll

1275
01:00:56,400 --> 01:01:00,079
be tempered with my expectations story wise, just because I

1276
01:01:00,119 --> 01:01:02,719
really like the the twist and turns it happened with

1277
01:01:03,239 --> 01:01:05,639
just some of the characters that are like close to

1278
01:01:05,679 --> 01:01:08,800
your character in that first game. It's it's just a

1279
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,760
really well told story, I think in the for the

1280
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:15,000
first game, so I don't want to expect the same

1281
01:01:15,079 --> 01:01:17,559
level of it, but it's also like, wow, they hit

1282
01:01:17,599 --> 01:01:19,599
it once, you know, they there's no reason why they

1283
01:01:19,639 --> 01:01:23,199
can't get to that bar again. But I think, I

1284
01:01:23,239 --> 01:01:26,239
think though, something that could be improved on the first

1285
01:01:26,239 --> 01:01:29,360
game is just gameplay, just just for little things that

1286
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,119
they'll add on to smooth it out and make it

1287
01:01:32,119 --> 01:01:35,679
that much better. And I'm excited for some more just

1288
01:01:36,159 --> 01:01:39,599
PvP or not PPVE content because I really like the

1289
01:01:40,559 --> 01:01:42,880
just the overall how that story went, like the little

1290
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:44,199
online mode that they brought into it.

1291
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:49,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely stuff something to look forward to. And

1292
01:01:49,159 --> 01:01:52,320
yet the hopefully they stick to the date of twenty

1293
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:54,960
twenty five and then we can see, uh see some

1294
01:01:55,119 --> 01:01:59,639
like gameplay, gameplay would always be be nice hundred percent.

1295
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 1: Other than that's like I said, it's just like a

1296
01:02:03,519 --> 01:02:06,559
couple of remastered things like Forrends zero Don remastered the

1297
01:02:06,639 --> 01:02:11,440
Lego one, right, yeah, Lego Horizon, that's right, Yeah, I

1298
01:02:11,519 --> 01:02:13,679
think it was. It was just called like, oh, Lego

1299
01:02:13,719 --> 01:02:17,599
Horizon Adventures. I'm sure that'll be a blast. I have

1300
01:02:17,679 --> 01:02:19,519
not played Forrends zero Don, so I don't really have

1301
01:02:19,519 --> 01:02:21,639
any attachment to like the ip of these characters. But

1302
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,519
another thing that's on the PlayStation catalog that you know,

1303
01:02:26,519 --> 01:02:29,960
I finally bought a PlayStation, a second PlayStation remote. So

1304
01:02:30,039 --> 01:02:32,000
now that's how Shane I were playing Cult to the Lamb.

1305
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:35,079
And uh, they have a bunch of the Lego games

1306
01:02:35,119 --> 01:02:38,480
on the PlayStation catalog, so like I never played like

1307
01:02:38,519 --> 01:02:41,199
the Jurassic World one or Park whatever, which one is?

1308
01:02:41,239 --> 01:02:44,039
I really want to play that. I never watched the Hobbit,

1309
01:02:44,079 --> 01:02:45,840
but I heard the Hobbit game was actually pretty fun,

1310
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:49,400
so maybe boot that up. And like, just like everything

1311
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,760
from the Lego Marvel, like there's just many titles, is

1312
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:56,679
like top Yeah, okay, that's good to know. Maybe I'll

1313
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:58,719
add that to the top of the list. But uh,

1314
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:04,719
there's one more in there. Came Indiana Jones on that one.

1315
01:03:04,719 --> 01:03:06,519
I don't know if it's good or bad. I feel

1316
01:03:06,559 --> 01:03:09,440
like one person had a heated rant about it. Maybe

1317
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:12,960
it was Dylan. I can't remember now, but yeah, someone

1318
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:13,719
had a history of that.

1319
01:03:14,039 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 2: It might have been Dylan, because maybe I'm making Dylan.

1320
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:19,480
But he got an Xbox and it came out of

1321
01:03:19,519 --> 01:03:22,199
the dual pack of like Kung Fu Panda Lego Jones

1322
01:03:22,199 --> 01:03:24,239
when you get like the original Xbox or six and.

1323
01:03:24,239 --> 01:03:25,719
Speaker 1: It might be a different Lego game, but I'm pretty

1324
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:27,079
sure it was a Lego game.

1325
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 2: He'll confirm on the next time.

1326
01:03:30,719 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, no, I just I love those Lego games,

1327
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:36,559
So I don't know if forget that one just because

1328
01:03:36,599 --> 01:03:39,079
I'm not really attached to IP, but I'm just excited

1329
01:03:39,119 --> 01:03:42,760
to jump into, you know, more more Lego games. Great,

1330
01:03:43,039 --> 01:03:48,920
just couch go Op times and yeah, anything else. It's

1331
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:54,840
Hitman and VR. That's kind of it's cool, but yeah, no, overall,

1332
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:56,800
I think it was kind of a lack cluster state

1333
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:58,239
of play. It was just like, Okay, this is going

1334
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:01,159
to be the ghost announcement. That's going to be that.

1335
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 2: So if you're a Ninja Turtles fan, that's pretty cool.

1336
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:07,159
They got some Shutters Revenge DLC.

1337
01:04:08,199 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 1: I saw that. I thought those were supposed to be like,

1338
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,960
like like our Turtles. I'm like, what the fuck was

1339
01:04:14,039 --> 01:04:15,800
like the art design on them, they look so weird.

1340
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,840
But then I realized it was not. It was not

1341
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,719
our Turtles. It was different characters, so that was it

1342
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:24,519
was nice to see, but you know, shows a revenge.

1343
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,000
I still do not play that game, but I remember

1344
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,039
playing the one Arcade game they had it scanned ya

1345
01:04:31,599 --> 01:04:35,480
it was it was I'm pretty sure it was similar, Yeah,

1346
01:04:35,519 --> 01:04:38,679
exactly the Arcade Ninja Turtles game.

1347
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:42,719
Speaker 2: But I think it's like games pass right now for

1348
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:46,400
anyone that's interested. You reminded me too when I was

1349
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,360
looking through this list Paul World. I mean, me and

1350
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,000
Dylan did a discussion like a first impressions on Paul

1351
01:04:52,079 --> 01:04:54,360
World on side Quest, and that was just a review

1352
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:58,760
the Pokemon one, that's the Pokemon knockoff. And I'm pretty

1353
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,599
sure I just be I haven't clicked any rite any articles.

1354
01:05:01,639 --> 01:05:03,800
I've just been seeing headlines that I'm pretty sure that

1355
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:06,840
they are under like ensued.

1356
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 1: But that's which is like, it's weird that it's happening now.

1357
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:14,440
I feel like it would have happened like right when

1358
01:05:14,519 --> 01:05:15,199
that came out.

1359
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that they're just kind of like trying

1360
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:19,639
to build a case.

1361
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 1: I just feel like Nintendo is so aggressive with like

1362
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:24,119
copyright stuff. I feel like it would have been shut

1363
01:05:24,159 --> 01:05:27,000
down like instantly, But I don't know, We'll see what

1364
01:05:27,079 --> 01:05:32,199
happens there. It's I mean, there's very stark comparisons of like, yeah,

1365
01:05:32,239 --> 01:05:36,719
this is very clearly Pokemon. But yeah, I'm curious, like

1366
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,599
how I don't know. I'm not I'm not like a

1367
01:05:39,599 --> 01:05:42,480
big law guy, but just like what their case is

1368
01:05:42,519 --> 01:05:44,400
going to be of just like I'm sure it's just

1369
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:46,480
a lot of gray areas on like why it's not

1370
01:05:46,519 --> 01:05:50,920
specifically copyright infringement. But we'll see what happens.

1371
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:52,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see.

1372
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:58,719
Speaker 1: Okay, what's the time we got we got an our?

1373
01:05:59,199 --> 01:06:02,599
Well quickly see here, Taylor. They have a new game announcement,

1374
01:06:02,639 --> 01:06:09,199
new Xbox game Moon Mystery. This is uh yeah, it's

1375
01:06:09,239 --> 01:06:12,199
a yeah. It's funny because when I this one's listed

1376
01:06:12,239 --> 01:06:15,119
as Interstellar first person shooter adventure game. Moon Mystery will

1377
01:06:15,199 --> 01:06:17,960
launch for PC via seam so it's not an Xbox game,

1378
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:21,159
so it completely ignore what I just said. When I

1379
01:06:21,159 --> 01:06:23,119
first read this, though, I thought it was like it

1380
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,719
is Interstellar first person shooter game. I thought it was like, man,

1381
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:30,719
they're making an Interstellar game based on the move And

1382
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:33,639
I'm like, what a fucking choice that that that is

1383
01:06:33,719 --> 01:06:36,159
wild to me. Uh you know, just they have like

1384
01:06:36,159 --> 01:06:39,039
the big gargantuan black hole that they're kind of showcasing there.

1385
01:06:39,079 --> 01:06:41,199
But I don't know. I'm always open to a new

1386
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:45,519
new Star adventure game. The last one have been star Field,

1387
01:06:45,559 --> 01:06:47,000
and I was very much looking forward to that until

1388
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,639
they announced that Xbox exclusive, So I have not played

1389
01:06:49,639 --> 01:06:52,119
that game, and maybe one day I'll jump in there.

1390
01:06:52,119 --> 01:06:54,480
But uh, you know, I'm open to if this one's

1391
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:58,239
releasing on PC. Maybe one day it'll allow the upgame

1392
01:06:58,239 --> 01:07:02,679
a PC or be able to get it on PlayStation.

1393
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:04,079
But I don't know. Just some of the things that

1394
01:07:04,079 --> 01:07:06,000
their mission here, it kind of looked interested me. I

1395
01:07:06,039 --> 01:07:09,639
kind of glossed over the article of just like adventure

1396
01:07:09,679 --> 01:07:12,000
game but with like unique puzzles, and I'm curious just

1397
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,079
how much they would be focusing on the actual puzzle

1398
01:07:14,159 --> 01:07:18,119
aspect versus just it being like a BioShock for example,

1399
01:07:18,239 --> 01:07:20,559
You're just kind of going through shooting things, and any

1400
01:07:20,599 --> 01:07:22,599
puzzle that you do have it is very minor so

1401
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:25,199
and who knows, maybe maybe the gameplay will come out.

1402
01:07:25,239 --> 01:07:27,760
It looks like fucking garbage and I'm not really much

1403
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:31,760
interested in it. There there was just a release date trailer,

1404
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:33,440
so I would need like a little bit something, a

1405
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:36,239
little bit juicier before I really commit to that. But

1406
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:38,400
I don't know. I just want to shout those space

1407
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:40,599
game because we're talking the Sins of a Solar and

1408
01:07:41,559 --> 01:07:45,079
this one launches October twenty eighth, so pretty damn so soon.

1409
01:07:45,639 --> 01:07:50,159
Speaker 2: It looks pretty fun, but I just I would not

1410
01:07:50,199 --> 01:07:52,079
be able to commit to something like this unless before

1411
01:07:52,119 --> 01:07:58,440
or after Sins, Oh my god, for sure after Ghosts

1412
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:01,719
as well. Yeah, I mean it looks it reminds me

1413
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,159
a lot of Starfield when I'm looking at different different

1414
01:08:04,159 --> 01:08:06,719
parts of it. But yeah, it's just something that I

1415
01:08:06,719 --> 01:08:08,239
gotta put on the back burner. But I would love

1416
01:08:08,239 --> 01:08:09,719
to do it like it looks like it's a lot

1417
01:08:09,719 --> 01:08:12,239
of fun, and this is definitely up my alley for

1418
01:08:12,239 --> 01:08:14,679
for a game, But I just seem to wait.

1419
01:08:17,359 --> 01:08:21,199
Speaker 1: Right And speaking of waiting, you can wait till next

1420
01:08:21,239 --> 01:08:23,880
week for the next week's side Quest episode, Taylor Field,

1421
01:08:24,079 --> 01:08:27,720
I think we're all but done for this week's discussion.

1422
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:30,680
That was lots of fun, funny, a lot of Ubisoft talk,

1423
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:32,399
a lot of space talk was fun. It felt it

1424
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:34,560
felt like centered just for us this episode, So it

1425
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:36,840
kind of, I don't know, just kind of everything fell

1426
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:38,960
into place for it to just be you and me

1427
01:08:39,279 --> 01:08:41,680
hosting it this week. The Fates, it's the fates.

1428
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,399
Speaker 2: We got Dylan, now we didn't get Ylan sick. We

1429
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:45,319
need to talk about.

1430
01:08:45,079 --> 01:08:48,520
Speaker 1: These I snuck into Vancouver. I drove hours last week

1431
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,279
to sneak in and no, I did not do that.

1432
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:54,359
Speaker 2: Hopefully he's on the men. He'll be back and give

1433
01:08:54,359 --> 01:08:56,880
you all that fresh, juicy goodness next week. Are you?

1434
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,000
Are you with him next week? Who? Who's I have

1435
01:08:59,039 --> 01:09:00,560
no trass in, Travis.

1436
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:02,359
Speaker 1: I take a one day at a time here on

1437
01:09:02,079 --> 01:09:06,399
the side of the the lake. But I'm not too sure.

1438
01:09:07,039 --> 01:09:09,399
I'll have to take a look. And uh, hopefully Dylan

1439
01:09:09,399 --> 01:09:12,920
will be there nonetheless, and if not, you know, I'm

1440
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:18,359
sure some tryvis interviewing himself. He likes to talk, so yeah.

1441
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:20,039
But ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for joining.

1442
01:09:20,239 --> 01:09:23,119
And that's all I have to say. So until next time,

1443
01:09:23,319 --> 01:09:23,720
Bye bye,
