But yeah, that's 46 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.639 enough with the promoting here. I guess let's start with 47 00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:59.479 the video games mark after Abot. I'm sure all of 48 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:03.759 you all all know by now, it's been getting ridiculous praise, 49 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:10.840 getting genre defining praise, all time video game type praise. 50 00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:14.680 So y'a Concord. 51 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:20.120 Yeah, I mean it, somebody knew what they had because 52 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.599 they they planned this wonderfully. Well, I mean they good 53 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.520 on them for like having no being really cut out 54 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.599 about this. We're gonna end the game that's been causing 55 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:33.159 us all this greed the same day that we have 56 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:37.560 our tremendous platformer coming out, and everybody's gonna forget about 57 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:39.680 Concord for a while because they're gonna be talk about Astrobaut. 58 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:42.800 And that's exactly what happened. The reviews came out the 59 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.560 day before, like I said, all this kind of glowing praise, 60 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.919 and then on Friday release, I had a pre order 61 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:53.360 ready to go, and uh it is. Ah, it lives 62 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.759 up to all that hype for me. Look, you can. 63 00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:58.680 I know some of people are calling it, oh, they 64 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.439 just copied a bunch of three D mar stuff and 65 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.199 then stuck it in one game. I don't think that 66 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:06.199 that's that's really unfair, and that's absolutely ridiculous to say. 67 00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:10.439 I think you're a Nintendo bot. If that's your whole 68 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:12.840 impression of the game without even probably haven't even played it. 69 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.520 In second, that's all you can really think about, just 70 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.160 how game games always take from each other. That's just 71 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.560 how games have always worked. You take the best thing 72 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.879 of something else, and the way you use it in 73 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:25.079 the new game and way you're able to bill in 74 00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:26.639 that together is how that works. 75 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.160 I'm not I'm not saying after but I took a 76 00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.160 lot from Mario sixty four. I'm thinking I'm saying it 77 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:33.000 took a lot from Crock. 78 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:37.439 Yeah there you go from Croc. Yeah, we'll see. Maybe 79 00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:39.560 that'll be in the Maybe they'll the honor Croc in 80 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.240 the in the dlc uh right with with a bo 81 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:48.399 you know. So essentially, it's uh very much feels like 82 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:53.000 it's a longer version of what you get with Astro's Playroom. Right, 83 00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.199 So if you played that Astro's Playroom, the free packing 84 00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:58.519 with the PS five. You're gonna be right at home 85 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.639 here because you get a lot of that right. It's 86 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.519 it's it's it is essentially a showcase for the controller. 87 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.839 Once again, nobody knows how to use this controller, apparently 88 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.000 better than Team with Sovie and people have been doing 89 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.399 this for what four years now, and Team Masobe still 90 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:18.199 kicks everybody's butt at how to use this controller. 91 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:21.480 People don't know. It's people don't care. There's a difference. 92 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.279 Well there's that too, but I think it's like, it's 93 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.920 just it's something about this this, uh, the way they 94 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.600 obviously they do R and D for Sony, so they 95 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:34.439 they got a lot of time to be with that controller, 96 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.079 figure out the kings, do all that stuff, and obviously 97 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.360 they kind of designed it to be that the first time. 98 00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.480 But it's just it's cool. It's like, you know, you're 99 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:48.279 riding around in your PlayStation five and uh then an 100 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.879 alien comes and attacks our buddy Astro here and then 101 00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:55.279 the whole adventure begins. And after that you're using a 102 00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:59.759 dual sense controller as your you know ship beyond that 103 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.199 so and you can even customize little ship and everything. 104 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.560 But I mean, look, it's a platform or three D platformer. 105 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:10.560 It does amazing things with all the little different suits 106 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.639 that he gets from like a dog that does like 107 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:20.360 jet packs, to like boxing pactice gloves, to an umbrella 108 00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.279 that he can wear that you can hear the rain 109 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:25.920 with the dual center, which is really cool. Yeah, I'm 110 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.279 just I'm loving the game. I think it's if you 111 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.920 love platformers, you definitely need to go buy this. There's 112 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:35.399 no ifans or butts about it. Go check it. It's 113 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:37.879 actually sixty bucks, it's not seventy. They could have charged 114 00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:39.319 seventy for this if they wanted to, but I think 115 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.160 they kind of took in account that you can technically 116 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:44.600 finish the game the first time without if you don't 117 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.920 care about getting all of the little puzzle pieces or 118 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:50.399 the bots, you could technically probably finish this game in 119 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:53.000 about i want to say, eight hours the first time. 120 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.040 But the game wants you to explore it. It wants 121 00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.399 you to find the bots, the hidden bots, and the 122 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.519 VIP which are all based off of very much like 123 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.240 Astor's playroom, all based off. 124 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.519 Of the like PlayStation characters. 125 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.519 It's a good and not even PlayStation right, just like 126 00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.600 kind of formative things of PlayStation and even just third 127 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:17.040 party players that are third party like studios that have 128 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.040 important games that have been on all the way from 129 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:24.839 you know, the early days of PlayStation like you know 130 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.959 for Rapp of the Rapper all that, even earlier than 131 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.639 that probably to the latest stuff, the stuff that we know, 132 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:36.680 you know, God of War, Last of Us even you know, 133 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:41.120 shout outs to persona that very surprised there's no like 134 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.399 Square Ears representation in here at all. You'd think that 135 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:45.839 Pop Fantasy would have got. 136 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:50.480 Some well even squirrely about having you know, being in 137 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:54.639 third party or you know games like that. Yeah, like 138 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.759 how much involved they were in getting like you know, 139 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.720 Cloud and Suffer Off into like brothers. 140 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:06.360 Yeah, but they had they had the Buster sword in playroom, right, 141 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:09.399 But you're right, you know they are kind of like 142 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.800 very protective of their their IP, especially you know with 143 00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:17.720 seven Rebirth and all that kind of being a game 144 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:19.600 that came out to see. I mean, there's a't they 145 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:24.240 could easily they just released a bot in playroom that 146 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:27.600 you could take into this game like last week or whatever, 147 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.079 so they could they could put these in. Uh, if 148 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.600 the game continues to sell well and they keep making content, 149 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:37.279 they're gonna make speed run levels and other challenge levels 150 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:38.840 in the game, and they're gonna put it in later, 151 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.919 so there's gonna be more content for this. There's also 152 00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:48.440 it's so it's not just uh yes, Playroom was very accessible. 153 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:50.919 Anybody could have played that kind of and and gotten 154 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:52.600 through it. And there are a lot of those levels 155 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.399 that are like that where it's not that difficult, but 156 00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:59.840 there are others that, okay, you might you might lose, 157 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:02.519 and then there's some that are special that are like 158 00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:07.759 coated with the different logos of the face place the 159 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:10.279 face buttons of the controller, so you have the triangle 160 00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:13.120 to circle the square the well they officially call it 161 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:17.120 cross here. But the X levels, yeah, and those are 162 00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:19.399 a lot harder. Those are like your you know, the 163 00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:22.440 the Mario levels that you get at the end of 164 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.159 the Mario game. Usually they get really hard or the 165 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:29.080 extra ones those are like very precise, Like I had 166 00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:33.440 to redo one like thirty times because you're on this 167 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.919 like armadillo that you jump on and it makes you 168 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:40.039 going like you're on a unicycle, and so he's going 169 00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:42.799 extra fast and you can only jump one time because 170 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:45.559 the game basically you have a double jump, and the 171 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.200 double jump allows you to do the thing where he 172 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:49.480 shoots the lasers out of his feet, and you can 173 00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:52.159 kill enemies with it too, so it's like you have 174 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.320 to untrain yourself to always double jump to then single 175 00:09:55.399 --> 00:10:00.120 jumps so you don't lose the the little h armadilla ball, 176 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.440 and then you also have things that are there trying 177 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.960 to kill you. So yeah, it's it was. It's really challenging. 178 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:10.360 So I definitely think that, like people are going on, man, 179 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.039 I'm gonna play this with my kids, and definitely you 180 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.600 can't do that. But it's not a kid's game, I 181 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.080 don't think either. It's definitely something that it wants you 182 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.200 to be have fun with it, and it makes a 183 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.440 fun thing of collecting the bots too, because it has 184 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.519 a base world where you can then take those bots 185 00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:31.519 and then unlock other bots with it, and you make 186 00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.159 like different little things with them, so you can go 187 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.120 up higher in those little areas and and get secret 188 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:41.360 things and uh they the gotcha machines back to so 189 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:43.440 you get little different things with the bots too. It's 190 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.480 like each one of them has their the little representative 191 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.480 thing that you can unlock with it, so that they 192 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:51.440 kind of move around and you see them do things, 193 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.840 so it's it's neat All that stuff is fun if 194 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.000 you love video games. It's also one of those things 195 00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.120 where it's like there's so many of these little bots 196 00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:01.080 in here that I go, what game is? Just I 197 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.879 have no idea, you know, and you go back and 198 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:06.120 look at it, and I bet there are so many 199 00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:09.120 people that are buying games based off of seeing the 200 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.759 bot and going, oh, man, I remember I saw somebody 201 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:14.720 bought Sly Cooper yesterday because. 202 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.000 Is gone. So that was fun. Yeah. 203 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:21.080 They yeah, that the the creative that John Gavin was 204 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:24.200 complaining about Days Gone not being represented being represented in 205 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.399 this game. Dude, they'll see what probably like, oh, where's 206 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:30.480 this guy from, and may have went and looked up 207 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:31.480 Days Gone. 208 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.879 You know where it's this extremely bland now. You know. 209 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.679 It's like I'm just saying, like, there's so many games 210 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:42.039 represented in here that I think you're gonna get a 211 00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:46.080 boost themselves and people seeing those characters in here and 212 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.720 it might help you know. So I just think that 213 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.200 being negative towards it is not helpful, not helping you. 214 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.480 They they put your character in the game, I mean 215 00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:57.639 that means something. There's a twist of metal show out there, 216 00:11:57.759 --> 00:11:59.679 and they don't even have metal character. 217 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:01.720 In here where they'll patch that character out soon enough. 218 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:05.159 Yeah, when he keeps when he keeps complaining, they'll keep. 219 00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:09.720 The anarchy guy like there's drags Jella for some reason. 220 00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:14.720 All right, yeah, but I mean listen, if you're you're 221 00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:20.000 not sold, go watch some gameplay and it will probably 222 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.480 sell you by the end. It's just Asterbot. Just like, 223 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:23.799 I don't know how you can hate him. He's just 224 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:27.600 a lovable little It feels like a baby that can 225 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.279 move kindness what you know, because he doesn't talk, but 226 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:32.879 it kind of has some of those characters as like 227 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:35.159 a little child playing and it really does take It 228 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.559 made me have this like feel of like, oh I'm 229 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:40.279 playing Super Mario World again, I'm super Nintendo Like. It 230 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.720 just it gave me. It pushed you back to that 231 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:47.960 time and maybe just have this like all those feels again. Yeah, 232 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.440 Marra does that every time as well. But it's just 233 00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:53.639 like I guess, because it has all that position nostalgia 234 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:55.919 in it too. It just it pushes you back to 235 00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:57.080 that time for sure. 236 00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:57.600 Sure. 237 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:00.440 And I think even if you don't have the station 238 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.080 nostalgia to like when to go look for all those bots, 239 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:06.840 it's still a fantastic game in its own right regardless 240 00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.240 of that, but obviously it does help care about that 241 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.159 considering the average age of GAMERSUS, you know, our age 242 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:17.840 or basically millennials at the point. So right, well, I 243 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:21.559 know you've been playing more Star Wars Outlaws yep. 244 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:25.200 And it's funny because it isn't either. I mean, he 245 00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:27.000 I think he dislikes it more than I do. I'm 246 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.240 like way further than I I'm way further than him 247 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:31.639 because I actually play it. 248 00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:33.559 Yeah, that makes it helps. 249 00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:38.039 Yeah, I mean the game is extremely bad about telling 250 00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:40.840 you where stuff is or how to do stuff. It 251 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.000 would be helpful if you're exploring a cave and it's like, oh, 252 00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:45.879 this upgrade is in this cave, Like okay, how do 253 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:48.639 I do that? And the game doesn't tell you anything. 254 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:50.720 It's like, oh, you need this one upgrade. You need 255 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.360 another upgrade to unlock this upgrade. It's like, Okay, that'd 256 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:57.200 be cool. Why don't you fucking tell me? It's me 257 00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:00.320 having to google it or like yeah, it's gonna spent 258 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:01.919 an hour trying to figure out how to get this 259 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:02.600 goddamn base. 260 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:04.679 Well I think wasn't that The point was that they 261 00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:06.879 wanted because you have to stealth around and stuff. They 262 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:09.000 didn't want to just be telling you where things are. 263 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.480 They kind of wanted to do the anti Ubusoft thing 264 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:14.519 of saying, Okay, it's in this area, go find it. 265 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.960 Okay, stealthing around or figuring how to out where it is, 266 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:22.480 that's one thing. But the game not telling you, hey, 267 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:24.759 you need this one blaster module to get to you know, 268 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:26.360 through the door, that's another. 269 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:27.759 Yeah, exactly. 270 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.080 It just leads to frustration on ENS's part, or we 271 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:34.720 just like quickly googling it and going, Okay, I guess 272 00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:36.840 you can't just do this now, I'm going to do 273 00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:41.320 something else, you know. Ah yah, Metlando, he is bad. 274 00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:45.960 Uh yeah, it's still a mess. I'm still plowing through it. 275 00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:50.960 But yeah, I mean, what do you think about Uh 276 00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:56.679 did this game's low reception? I mean, not great reception 277 00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.000 critic wise, and then sales haven't been great apparently of 278 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.799 that much of the game either. So it's been leading 279 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.080 to you'd be soft. 280 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:11.080 Just absolutely, Yeah, that's entirely valid, and it's on them, 281 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:15.399 you know, well, I guess it's more on them. I mean, 282 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.600 who knows what Star Wars mandated or you know, Disney mandated. 283 00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:21.559 But for a game called like Star Wars Outlaws, you're 284 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.919 not an outlaw at all. You know, you're just it's 285 00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:27.039 kind of well meaning underdog character. And it'd be like, 286 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.519 this would be great. It's like you could be attacking 287 00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.600 civilians or actually being like a rogue roguage character, but 288 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:38.039 you can't. So it's entirely flat footed, Like it'd be 289 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:40.240 great if you could actually you like partner up with 290 00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:43.679 the imperials, like just as an idea, but they're always 291 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:45.559 just like the bad guy. And it's like okay, so 292 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:47.200 it's like every other goddamn Star Wars. 293 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:49.559 Well, yeah, it's still a rebel story. 294 00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:53.960 No it's not, it's a rogue story. Well, i mean 295 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.639 she actually kind of dislikes the rebels in a way, 296 00:15:57.480 --> 00:16:00.759 but I mean that's that's the whole point is, like 297 00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:04.360 you know, and Yen just complained about earlier like earlier 298 00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:07.679 Star Wars games actually like had you be part of 299 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:10.960 the empire or had like more you know, they had 300 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:14.240 more black and white lines, and this game just makes 301 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:16.360 you want to be like it's all this gray character 302 00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:19.480 and so it's like, okay, this character has no bite 303 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:22.639 because you wanted to be this like nice character, but 304 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:26.240 it doesn't fit a story because that's so boring, you know. 305 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.240 Well, it's also like they're they're trying, they're sneaking around 306 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:31.879 and being a smuggler, Like why do they have to 307 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:33.960 be a nice character? You know, you think that they 308 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:35.679 would have added more choice for you to if you 309 00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:37.120 just want to be a total asshole. 310 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:40.360 Yeah. A good example is all the stealth stealth quote 311 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:42.639 unquote stealth kills, Like you don't really kill anyone, you 312 00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:44.919 just like knock them out right. And it's like, wouldn't 313 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:47.879 this be great if like this, you know, stormtroopers on 314 00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:50.039 this like ledge, why can't you just like push them off? 315 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:53.360 So just knocking them out because pushing them off, you know, 316 00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:57.120 that would be a darker thing. But also, hey, you 317 00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:00.639 know the other stormtroopers wouldn't find his body then you, yeah, 318 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:04.799 pick up bodies and move around. The assassin's creed just 319 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:06.559 makes the entire things feel like really ruthless. 320 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:08.759 They don't want it to be a hit Man Star 321 00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:11.920 Wars either. I think you know, there's still Disney involved 322 00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.599 in here. You know, they still want kids or these 323 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:17.880 teenagers to be playing this game. 324 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:23.039 So yeah, but it just makes us feel like incredibly, 325 00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:25.720 Like I said, just laying, it's just like that Borderlines movie. 326 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:29.480 You know, you always got to take a shot at 327 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:30.960 the well. 328 00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:33.279 I mean it was fussy rted R. And then they 329 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:35.480 scaled back and screwed it up. 330 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:37.519 Right, Yeah, because they found out they needed more people 331 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:38.200 to watch it. 332 00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:40.000 Yeah that worked out well. 333 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:44.200 Yeah exactly. Nobody's still nobody watched it. So it's fun. 334 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:48.279 Yeah, so you know, I'll keep hacking away at it. 335 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:51.599 But yeah, it's just so many like missed opportunities. You 336 00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:54.039 know that sucks. Yeah. 337 00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:57.400 You've also been playing a new game, A Star Tucker. 338 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:01.559 Yeah, I got a code. Uh's pretty all right. I 339 00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:03.480 mean I like the demo quite a bit. The only 340 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:06.440 problem with the game really is like it doesn't tell 341 00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:09.480 you anything. You know, it has a very briefeutorial and 342 00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:11.720 it's like, hey, if you want to actually learn about 343 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:14.319 the game, read the basically actually literally said the Greed 344 00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.960 Instruction manual. It's like that's not helpful, Like how about 345 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:21.880 you you introduced like why you know whether these systems 346 00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:24.599 or why are they important, or have like a full, 347 00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:28.799 fuller tutorial to help help people along, you know, not 348 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:31.640 just hey you have a you have a driving guide 349 00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:34.880 in the glove boxcovery that you know, you. 350 00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:37.200 Think it's a way for them to save money. 351 00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:40.359 Possibly, I mean maybe, but it's not. I don't mean 352 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:42.759 they already built the game, like I can't imagine like 353 00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:45.640 a series of videos or even like in game. It 354 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.119 wouldn't be cinematics, but just feel like in game missions 355 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:50.279 or just someone talking to you, like you know, get 356 00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:52.920 a voice hector back for two hours and have him 357 00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:55.920 or heard explain like why what the gravity system is 358 00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:59.119 and why it's important, or you know, how to what 359 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:02.160 the shutters do, why they you know, just like basic 360 00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:05.359 stuff like that would be helpful. But I still like 361 00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:09.480 it cool and cool environment or cool you know persona 362 00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:11.319 or you know, just a cool game to play in 363 00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:12.359 four around And. 364 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:16.440 So is it essentially like a truck driving thing in 365 00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:17.279 space or. 366 00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:21.119 That is exactly it? Yeah, you know you actually have 367 00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:25.599 like full three D movement and there's also like momentum. Okay, 368 00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:27.559 but the funniest thing is like this, the truck looks 369 00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:29.240 like a truck even in space. 370 00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:31.440 Yeah, I see the picture. 371 00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:35.680 Yeah that's that's always that's great. Uh. But yeah, it's 372 00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:39.759 like managed damage and you know, oxygen supply and power 373 00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:42.519 systems and gravity and you know everything, and it's like, okay, 374 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:45.680 there's a lot going on here. Read the damn guide 375 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.480 does not does not explain a lot of this, right, 376 00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:51.519 but yeah, keep playing away, keep plugging away at it. 377 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:55.440 All right, that's cool. Yep, glad you're enjoying that. I'm 378 00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:59.839 also continuing to plug away business the manna. So yeah, 379 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:02.559 that don't really have much more to say about it 380 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:05.119 other than you know what I said last week. 381 00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:09.440 So right, it's still Man in it, right, still. 382 00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:12.200 Has Man and got a little further but still with 383 00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:16.000 the same three characters. So don't yeah, much else to 384 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:20.039 say there. But all right, let's move on to the 385 00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:25.279 news here, and I guess you know it'll be it'll 386 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:27.240 be probably by the most people at the time they 387 00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:30.279 hear this or watch this, you know, they'll have already 388 00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:35.839 seen this that presentation. I guess the things to discuss 389 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.880 out of it would be do you think it is 390 00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:40.640 really going to be about the PS five pro? 391 00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:45.160 Do you think? But it shouldn't be. It'd be great 392 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:46.079 if you just went up there and I was like, 393 00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:48.079 all your people want is a PS five pro, But 394 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:50.319 screw that, we're not done. Pay Station five. 395 00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:53.799 Here's more stuff about it that made you go to 396 00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:55.960 seek the first time. So we're gonna you. 397 00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:58.240 Know, yeah, here's here's even more rate tracing. 398 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:03.720 Right, and then the the other things obviously, are you 399 00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:07.039 think it will cost the rumored price of seven hundred 400 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:10.119 dollars and will it come with a disk drive or not? 401 00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:13.519
