Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to side Quest. This is our weekly
video game show here at geek Versus. I'm your host
Deil Musna with me the Ghost of Rutland Drevis Snell.
Speaker 2: Great name. How are you doing tonight?
Speaker 3: I'm doing good. It feels like it's been a minute's
been on side Quest because uh just I can't remember why,
oh wrestling and then other times is in the lineup
and stuff. But excited. We've got some good stuff to
talk about today. So I'm excited to be back on
the SQ.
Speaker 1: So mm hmm, yeah, we kind of got a mixed
match of topics. We'll do a little check in on
the video game draft, talk about our switch to pre
orders how that went, and then a couple of trailers
for some games, Star Wars and Ghost of Yotai, and
then just some games have been playing as well. So
in a little a little bit of everything.
Speaker 2: Uh, you know.
Speaker 1: If you're a fan of Last of Us the video game,
go check out our weekly reviews for that. If you're
kind of Star Wars, tune into this episode, go check
out the and Or Releases Thunderbolts review coming out this week.
For the hot new Marvel.
Speaker 3: Movie Crazy Yeah, it doesn't say that it came.
Speaker 2: Out that at all. Yeah, quickly.
Speaker 1: And then we also have a weekly Geek, you know,
talking about I don't even know what we'll find out
on Wednesday.
Speaker 3: So's talking about a rock trailer this week with Dwayne.
So I got that because a twenty four movie, you know, Well.
Speaker 2: There you go. Now I'm actually excited for that.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, very good connection to what we were just
talking about before recording here.
Speaker 2: With the Curse.
Speaker 3: But yeah, there's somebody that they got to get on,
like Nathan for your rehearsal. I need the Rock one episode.
I need to see Dwyane Johnson and Nathan Fielder interact.
Don't know what it is, let Nathan figure it out.
And I don't even know if I want Rock to
be in on the joke, but I want Nathan to
interact with Dwayne Johnson. At some point. We're that much
closer with Benny because he was in the Curse, right,
so fingers crossed that happened.
Speaker 1: I feel like Dwayne could be a socially awkward person,
yes in real life, but like mixing them together, I'm
curious to see how if it would multiply or just
like go into the negatives of awkwardness.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is I feel like Nathan would be just
like ruling over right, because I feel like more awkward,
the better for that show. I feel like when he knows,
like you know, last episode of that couple, when it's
awkward and it's really awkward, I think he just know that, Oh,
this is great TV because people are going to feel
that home. But you know, that's another time go watch
Hurt Crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure me and you will do.
Speaker 1: I don't on a newscast or maybe we'll do like
a season review or something afterwards. I don't know how
much there's to say about it. We'll figure that out
at a later date. But yeah, that's what's going on
in the fees. You can also hit up our Patreon
get so it's early and ad free joint of Discord
and talk with us all about all sorts of stuff.
We review all that good stuff. Let's get into the
first thing here. So last week, the switch to pre
orders went live in a very staggered series of steps.
I'll say where like some some places like Walmart and
whatever had it like the night before, other places for
the morning after, and they would be careful of like oh,
are you Eastern time Western time? Then I'm sure it
is different all over the world. And then like Nintendo's
store still doesn't even go up until like next week
or something like that. But Travis, give me a a
rundown of how your experience went trying to get your
hands on one of these things.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, I think the last episode I was on
was the switch to Conversation, and I said, I'm not
getting the switch. Well, I have a switch at least
switch to pre ordered, and it's all confirmation email there.
There's like an inch. There's a few things that happened.
There was an inch of fomo as always right. But
then the other thing was I said to the Discord people,
that's why I joined this court. We tok a whole
bunch of stuff. I originally had a plan, tran ran
a plan, a trip planned in October to the States.
That's gonna go see do a lipa. But for just X,
Y and Z maybe a bread and butter topic. Other times,
just don't feel like on the States right now. You
know a lot, I have many people in the States.
I love, many you know, listeners, many friends. I just
don't want to cross that boarder, right now, so for me,
there's a lot of like freed up money, and there's
other things where you know, Emily has been kind of
shouldn't play some mart like she's except about the Mario Kart.
But there's that, as I said last cast, like okay,
we can kind of you know, all their birthdays in
the summer for the three oldest there playing the switch.
It's like, well we can use this as like a
double of the present. And you know, because now there's
we got the Switch one and switch to. And also
I felt it was just fate because so how my
day was, I did not lot. This was what's Here's
to give the example. Maybe their site could have crashed.
So I got mine from best Buy. Best Buy was
supposedly live at six am PST. I went on at
nine PST and still got one. Now, maybe those first
few hours best b I was crashed, so maybe it
didn't actually start till later. But what happened was Taylor said, oh,
I'm in the game, stop line. I'm trying. And because
I had seen somewhere else the same thing as you,
I just seen the six am one, so I thought,
oh it's six am. I think you missed it, and
then I went on like a where are the pre orders,
and there's everywhere where like you said, Walmart and Costco
they had there's Wednesday night and then there's all over
of game Stop London drugs, like just like here's it,
you know, noon eastern, here's at nine eastern. So I
saw a game Stop and Best Buy. When I clicked
on game Stop, I got the same thing Taylor did.
Mine was just more out of curiosity. Okay, I'm sure
I'll be on side Quest soon. I'm gonna click on
it because I when I legitimately woke up the day,
it was not an intention to buy it. I had
know like, oh I'm getting the line, like I had
no idea to tat. It's like, oh, I'm hit the
game spawn. It's crashed. So I clicked on the same
thing with him four hours and when I clicked on
the Best Buy one, it put me in a queue
right away, and it's like, Okay, that seems kind of odd,
like this has been live for three hours, so I'm
sure it's just gonna make a queue that chucks me
into like a story we're sold out. It didn't. There
was one sin right there, so I'm like okay, Like,
I guess I should just put the bunnel on the
cart just to see. Because it's a pre order, right,
I always cancel it. So I get the bundle one.
I put that in there, and then when you go
to pay, there's another queue you gotta go in. So
I'm like, oh, there's really yeah, so there's double cues
que to get it and then queue to pay, and
like once I saw yeah, once I saw the second
cuem like no, Like this is like, there's no way
I'm getting this. And even in the line, I was
in there probably about forty five like probably in general
over two hours before the pay que forty five minutes.
So once I hit like half an hour, there's no
way this is probably happening. And then I get a
notification up it says the Nintendo switch to is sold out,
but the Mario Kart bundle is still available. So it's like, okay,
so again I'm going by the time I get to
the cart, it's gonna be gone. You know. It was
fun just to click on see and I went to
the cart and I purchased it, and I guess I
gotta switch too, Like it was kind of like more
I just wanted to see what the demand was, and
of course Taylor, when he got online, he got the
notification of oh, both bundles were gone. So I was
a little ahead of him because he he wanted to go.
He didn't click on best Buy. This was his rookie mistake.
He didn't click on best Buy until his Game Salt
thing was gone.
Speaker 1: And I said, I don't at the same time refreshed consolet.
Speaker 2: Through best Buy as well.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, so best Buy has been pretty good to me. Yeah, so,
And I think it's because it's like Amazon, where is
one of the bigger suppliers, Like I know stores, They've
got a lot of digital stuff, but best Buy is
still a pretty big chain, especially here in Canned at least, right,
like we have no future shop and that was gone
and then yeah, I got it. And then me and
Emily talked over and we're like, Okay, I think we're
gonna keep this thing for X, Y and Z. She's
excited for cart I'm excited for Donkey. It's gonna be
like a double for us and kids birthday present. And
like I said, a lot of change that was being
safe for the trip. It's like and this costs a
lot less than the trip. So yeah, I kind of
backwards stumbled into it. And when I like, uh, when
I like, I have obviously listened to the podcasts and
one of the podcasts that kind of FUNNYM subscribed to
and listen on and off. But I got the notivocation
like switch pre sale disaster, and I saw many people
say that it was for me. I just I clicked
on the best by links, sat around for a little bit,
and then they just went the card and the same
thing happened me with the PS five. Of these console
launches for me have always been very easy somehow, I
don't know. I don't know how the luck I got
so that to me, I just took it as fate
and I'm like, okay, well Donkey Kong is also there,
so that's where I submitted it. So yes, now I'm
on the switch to band Wagon like here you guys.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I think with the with the PS five,
I didn't have much issue getting it either through best
Buy on the pre order, and I don't I don't
remember doing anything particularly special, just like had like whatever
all the three or four sights open and then best
Buy was the one that worked for me, and I
ended up canceling it before like actually came out because
I decided I'm just gonna wait anyway. But yeah, with
the switch to a very different story for me. So
the morning that the pre orders went live, well actually
the night before even at nine pm. It was like
nine point thirty, and I was like, oh, I totally
forgot about that. I'm gonna go see what's going on.
Speaker 2: Went on?
Speaker 1: Right, It looked around a little bit and like went
all the sights and was like sold out. Everyone's like, oh,
these things are all gone already.
Speaker 2: Look at that.
Speaker 1: Who would have thought. I didn't really click around that much.
I just assumed, Okay, I guess I missed my chance. Whatever,
I'll try again because I signed up for the Nintendo thing,
so I was gonna get that email from them in
like May whatever it is. And then the morning after,
I was in the office that day, so I couldn't,
you know, be on the sites doing all that stuff.
So I was like, oh, I'm just gonna miss this.
That's fine, Hopefully the Nintendo one can back me up.
But then like freaking Gandalf coming from the East Saturday morning,
Taylor messages me and he's like Hey, I got this
email from Amazon because I signed up for their wait list,
so I have seventy two hours to place an order
and there's no issue with that, So I send all
my credit card details over to Taylor feel he made
the purchase for me.
Speaker 3: Uh the first ending event though, just to let every
don't know. If Taylor Field wasn't a trusted friend, that
could have been the end as you know it for
a geek first.
Speaker 1: But yeah, and so Taylor, I mean he shared his
story last week. Uh so he was able to get
one as well, So yeah, the three of us will
have it. So who Hopefully we can get them like
pretty close to June fifth, and then we can get
a side quest episode out there really quick mindsets shipping
till the ninth, so I guess it's gonna be like
four days later. We'll see if that's actually true or
if they update that later on. If I have to
wait a few days, it's not the end of the world.
But uh yeah, I don't know. Did did your say
what day it's shipping yet?
Speaker 3: I don't think, so I can take a look and
see because I got the cause we're.
Speaker 1: All, I guess, but different, we all got it. From
like different suppliers. I guess I'll see you.
Speaker 2: We'll have to have a race, see where it comes
to the quickest.
Speaker 3: Let's see. I don't think it has that yet because
I had to che because it took a while. That's
where I was worried, because I didn't get like a confirmation,
you know, for a couple of hours from I got
the pay because the difference for me is I had
to do well, I'm not sure if you do the
same thing. I did pay for it in full or
some places were like the three hundred depause or whatever.
I had to pay for in full. So my paypals like, hey,
you've been charged, you know, almost eight hundred dollars. But
I didn't got it confirmation from best Buy. And here's
a mini story. And this I worked best by complete
just liars. I go and chat and I and I.
Speaker 1: Was gonna say, maybe that's why you were able to
get it. Maybe you like built up some goodwill. Yeah,
your IP is pumped up in the CU or something.
Speaker 3: Because that's how I did it. When for the PS
four I remember because PS four I worked at best Buy.
I remember that because I worked in home entertainment, home theater,
or whatever they call it back then. But I remember
every day people coming in and that those PS fours
went really quick, And that was another one why PS
five I didn't have much issues, but PS four I
still got it. But I think because I was at
work when it was revealed, I was at work. Yeah,
so us at work kind of cheated and got to
jump the line a little bit. But I remember they
were that same night gone and people kept coming into
pre order like, oh no, sorry, we can't, but I go,
I asked. I'm like, heysh up a best bite. Usually
when I buy something, I get a receipt right away,
a confirmation and this person says, oh you won't get
a confirmation email to shipping out. I'm like, that can't
be real. That's not a true thing. And then I
almost did, but I chose to be a better person. Man.
I got that pop up how is your chat window?
I was so ready to one star thumbs down, but
I'm like, no, no, I gotta ruin this day's job.
But then when I did, is I close out go
to a different chat Guys like oh I could ford
that email to you, and I afford the email. So
that person had no idea what they were doing, but
I was worried for a bit of a good thing.
This kind of did happen because I had because I've
moved in the past six months, I had my old
address on there, so I would not want the switch
to be going there, So luckily I got that all changed.
So yeah, I don't think I got it. I just
had a confirmation. I looked. I didn't see a date.
So I feel like, if I remember with the PS five,
I think it came out on the Friday, and I
feel like I got it on the Sunday, so I
think I was like a day day and a half
late if I'm correct about the Friday. I could be wrong,
but I think that's what I remember because me, Taylor,
and kirkh were recording a Star as Commentarry Trek came
during that. I have to keep checking my phone because
it's one of those things like, oh, if we know
you're not there, we're not gonna do it. But yeah,
so I think that's why it kind of like that
where maybe that's why some people don't prefer Best Buy
because they want it right away, but I'm like, I
don't need to right away. I just uh it's nice
to have it, so I'll have to see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what do you are you planning on picking
up anything else, like any accessories or like, are you
getting any games?
Speaker 2: Like there's not. I don't think that's any real.
Speaker 3: Game module game, you know.
Speaker 1: The I read what it's called the switch to Welcome
to or I think is what it's called.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, just just just cardon Donkey like obviously
don Coon's of the month after. But I don't think so.
I think we we will still use the old games.
And then also I guess they said at launch the
game keep things not gonna be working, right, that's gonna be.
Speaker 2: It will be, it will be on long.
Speaker 1: Actually I'll probably dabble with only like the three games.
It'll be win Waker, F zero and Soul Caliber. Tho'll
only be the ones like on that day.
Speaker 3: I'll download some F zero I'm playing them. Wow, that'd
be perfect. So I yeah, I'll probably just do that
and cart because we haven't, like the girls haven't played
Kurt ever. They've played a Paw Patrol clone version of it.
But I think we'll do that and uh, yeah no,
I don't think so, because this is even though it's
still money I had, says side for different stuff. It's
still purchases that I wasn't planning on making, and also
for my game library because are we doing what we've
been playings that come up after we do get that
for sure, Okay, okay, then I'll get after. But yeah,
so I think I'm just gonna keep it because I
don't want to buy. I don't want to buy anything
that gets in the way of Donkey Kong because I
need and it's tough because def stranding's out, so I
really it's it's a it's a predicament. But myo Kart's
more family, so it definitely gonna be playing some rounds.
But I'm I want that switch to for July. That's
that's yeah, that's that's my time. July. It's time.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I wonder like I feel like we've gotten
a switch direct in June or July like every year
of the last few years, so I imagine that would be
a nice timing, you know, kind of a big hype
thing for Donkey Kong. I don't think they'd have any
other like surprise first party games this year, though, like
maybe some the third party stuff, but I kind of
feel like they've kind of charted out with the next
because they didn't never drop the release date for Metroid
but that'll probably be their big fall game, along with Pokemon,
even though that's on Switch one, but like that'll still
be there and then I don't know, I think that
kind of takes us through the end of the year,
and then obviously third party stuff will to kind of
support that gets this year, and then just kind of
dropping those GameCube things and whether other random releases. So
I think I'm probably I know who doesn't have one yet, right,
I think there's a chance to get kicked, get kicked,
it gets kicked again, honestly, even though we've seen a
lot of it at this point. But it's weird to
me that they had, you know, a Direct and then
like a few days later the switch to Direct, and
neither of those had the release date ready to go.
It seems kind of strange, But maybe they just want
to see what the switch to sales are like before
they decide on that, and maybe they want to wait
until more people pick it up.
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like they're have any issues with player
base or like install based on the console at this point,
and I.
Speaker 3: Know it was probably designed for the Switch too, but
I think we tell about in the Switch reveal. It
feels weird to get a don't Gone game we didn't
even hear about, and then a full on date. We
know what's coming, We're Metro. I've been in the works
for I don't know. It feels like half a decade, if
not more, and we're still not even it's just like
twenty twenty five window. But I think you're I think
you're right. I was just gonna say if that game
came out early fall, I could see maybe something in December,
but I don't think so. I think you're right. If if,
and even then if it gets pushed, it's not a
big deal like that that we'll have to see because
we're talking about the discord. How the sales are. The
pre sale sales did really well. It's it's so far
like it's hard to do. They won't release Full Daddy yet,
But as far as people that track the stuff, it's
doing better than the Switch. Now again, these are the hardcore.
These are people like us that maybe now have like
I've only bought in one Switch and I'm can do
an update. We'll have to see after the fact, but
at least I think for the you know, Q four
and Q three of twenty twenty five, if you look
at the switch I think that's all gonna be just
aces for now. So it's like, even if Metro were
to get delayed, I don't think that's like a bell
and I don't think that hurts them. Okay, it does
hurt them, but I don't think it kneecaps them, like, man,
we really needed Metro to push this CONTs like, I
don't think so, like Mario I hearn Donkey Kong's I
think almost enough. And then you've got the other stuff
you talk about, right like Pokemon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I honestly, I think it's more of like there
is still so many people on just the Switch one
who won't upgrade this year because of the price or
because of other reasons. Yeah, and so I feel like,
to me, that's like their last big maybe even the
Swan Song game for the console. So even though it's
on switch to, I feel like that's it's they probably
want to get it out the door more for Switch
one people more than any I mean, that's where they're
gonna make their money anyway. Like the switch to is
not where they're gonna make most of their money on
that game anyway. Yeah, because you know you have Pokemon,
but it's like kind of a spin off and it's like, yeah,
it's fine whatever. But I feel like, yeah, Metroids kind
of like the big the big one at least, but
even then it is pretty niche So we'll see what
happens there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's on me. I'm curious with both of them.
I'm curious with not don Kyng as much, but still
don Kng hasn't had a soul title. Wow Metroid Like
I said, I think with that. I've talked about this
with movies like Fantastic for and Superman. I feel like
there's a lot of classic characters that we grew up
with that are having our like a like a comeback party.
And my question is like, who's showing up to that
party now? Because it's it's off topic. But I like
my nephew on Emily's side, like you know, by marriage
or whatnot. Like he saw Minecraft and I asked him like,
did you know Superman movies coming out before? He's like no, Like, oh,
did that look interesting to you? No? And he went
with a couple of friends like did they seem interested?
And he's like not at all. I'm like, okay, I
know that he's the I won't say awkward, but he's
in that stage of like, you know, just like he's
a preteen, so just kind of hanging out by himself.
But that's what It's the same thing with Don Klein Metroid.
I think get the hardcores, you know, but I don't
think it's like Mario and Zelda where it's like, oh,
those are guaranteed like box office hits. Like I think
don kin has a good chance because the movie, and
I think people just like Don Khan in general, but
you never know. Maybe people are like, yeah, I like
him as a supporting you know in Smash and Mario Party,
but I don't know if I need a game. But yeah,
it's gonna be. But then again, that's only if let's
say you're just a switch to person. Yeah that's that's your.
Speaker 2: Yea, so far fine.
Speaker 1: And I think for me and you, as don Kunk
sixty four big fans, like we're super excited for it,
but I think a lot of people seem kind of
like glukewarm on it, even like from impressions from people
who have played it at events, and you know that
is like a limited chunk you play like an hour
of the game in one level or something like that.
They're not don't seem to be super duper excited, but
I don't know. I'm still pretty hype for it. I
still think I'm gonna pick it up. So I think
for me, I'm similar to you. I'm gonna obviously play
a bunch of Mario Kart, then uh don Ky Kong
when that comes out, and then I think the big
one for me actually is gonna be just that upgrade
with Tears of the Kingdom, seeing what that is like,
because that was a big issue I had with that game,
like the frame rate and stuff was horrendous, and the
game doesn't look great because of some of the limitations there.
So and that's the game I never finished, so I'm
excited to kind of redownload that and get back into that.
So since that's through the time to switch online, I'll
get that upgrade. The other ones I saw are like
twenty or more dollars for some of them, like the
Kirby one, which I was maybe interested in, but it's
like kind of expensive for it was like not a
lot there. Yeah, so I don't think I'm gonna be
picking up that that update. We'll see if it's change it.
And I think even like the Mario Party thing is
like twenty twenty five dollars or something for that upgrade,
which seems kind of crazy. So I don't know, maybe
that's just conversion or maybe I read that wrong, but.
Speaker 2: It seems like they are.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna keep it like as a strict ten
dollars upgrade like has kind of been set by PlayStation
mostly in then Xbox seems like they're gonna go variable pricing,
just like they are with their games in terms of
the upgrades as well. So I'm really curious to see
how they justify or what like how they I don't know,
Like I guess in theory means maybe a good thing
of them making like really notable upgrades of these games
to justify a higher price if they're gonna do something,
But if I guess it's like, oh, if you just
want like better graphics and frame rate, that's gonna be
ten bucks and everything else. If there's new content like
twenty bucks ish, you know, we'll see how it goes
from there.
Speaker 3: And you asked that's the only thing is maybe another accessory,
like we're talking about a remote cost arm and a
leg But you know, I live in a household of
five people luckily right now, like Ellie doesn't play and
Mario Kart's something where it's like I would be fine
if we do, like, hey, two people play right now,
two people play, Like eventually we'll get the whole fam
jam all four racing. But we'll see the day of
that's something maybe I would like to hope that even
around Christmas there's like a two two dollars sale on
one day. Okay, I can I can pick this up
on that So again I'm not can you even with
the joy cons they usually always come the double, right,
you don't just buy a joint cony by two?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't know if it's possible to
buy one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So at that point we'll see, might just take
the plunge and get it over with of like what's
the point of like's if it was one that I'd say, okay,
they will win, buy one, But at that point, might
just buy two and then all four of piscott it.
But we can ease like share and come in and
out like that's good thing, Mario card. It's an easy
like trade off a turn. So that'd be the only
other thing I will at some point. I don't know
if it's on day one, but I will definitely beget
in the game. I always said to you whenever I
got I want that game cube like the pro controller.
I just love the look of it. Oh yeah, junkie
for that, and like we talk about like the PS
one era, like that era of games, and if I
have a pro controller, it's like i'd like to I'd
like to use it, even though what it doesn't work
with some thing, right we talked about I thought it
was there was something it doesn't work with.
Speaker 1: I think it just has like less buttons, so maybe
that's like a limitation of it. I know, I remember
that was a thing like around the day the announcement,
I was like, oh, this will only work with the
GameCube app. But then it was like debunked.
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it will be mostly universal, but it just
might be weird with like the janky left bumper and
I mean even like the Z button's not great on
the GameCube controller, right, And then I don't know, if
they added a home button to it, so it might
be like hard to navigate, right, like the I.
Speaker 3: May wait on that one. That's one where I'm not
gonna be buying day one. But that's like if family
is like, hey, what do you want for Christmas? And
people have liked it? Butkay, that's something you can get me,
is you know on that realm? Yeah? So yeah, though
those will be only two. I'm not I'm not getting
the yeah, I mean headset or anything of the camera.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if we're doing like a stream or something, or
if me or Taylor come over, like we just bring
ours and plug and like connect that way to play
bigger Mario Kart matches. But yeah, I think I don't
think I'll get Like I never even got a second
pair of joy Cons from I switched, well sort of
exception because I got like drift and they weren't working anymore,
so then I had to buy a second pair. But like,
I never had like two working pairs at the same time,
and that worked fine for me because I had the
I still have the GameCube controller adapter, which I think
is confirmed to work still on the switch too, so
I can plug four game cube controllers in that way.
The old ones they don't have left bumper, but you know,
works for Smash or Mario card or whatever. And then
I would I probably would like to get a pro controller.
I had one for the switch. I think I had
like a knockoff one and it broke eventually, but I probably.
Speaker 2: Won't want to get that. I don't know.
Speaker 1: We'll see, because you know, I've one issue of having
the switch for a long time is like the joy
cons straight up give me a hand pain. So we'll
see what these bigger controllers, bigger buttons, bigger joystipy, that's
still the case, hopefully, not like I don't want to
have to buy something just to not have hand pain, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what happens.
Speaker 3: I had one for the Weiu, but I never got
one for the switch because I got the switch halfway
through its life cycle and I just and I should have,
but I guess I was just kind of like like
maybe it's pass you buy or this and that, because
this is a day one. It's okay. If the GameCube
one doesn't work, then it's like within the first three
to four months, I will be getting a pro control
because that's just the way I prefer to play even
if like I do one day with Donkey Kong and
I'm like, oh, I'm not feeling this. I might be
looking at those GameCube reviewers like a lot quicker and
just say, oh, hey, you know yeah, just say this
is my Christmas present, because yeah, I I prefer that.
Plus there's just other ones that if I do the
GameCube library, because I've been this is a deep cut,
but how do you do you think there's any games
on the GameCube library that are not like how many
percentage do you think they're gonna be? What we're trying
to get to is do you think Starfaks Adventures is
gonna make it on there? Because I've been really so
I've really want to replay it. But I was like,
I really would prefer not to bust out the GameCube
because I don't have, like you, like a good setup
right there where I got like the old TV or
anything like that, Like I I don't I think I'd
even have to buy like one of those like adapters.
So I was like, is that the worst to do?
Star Fox play through? Or wait till it's on the
GameCube Service, which obviously it's not gonna be like remastered,
But I'll still look a little like a tad better too,
right than the GameCube.
Speaker 1: So I get it would be wide screen and maybe
slightly better looking one or do you have moons potentially.
Speaker 3: Loved that game? Man?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure every other Star Fucks game is on
Nintendo Switch Online, like even the one that was like
only ever released in Japan, they just dropped it on,
like even the North America's thing like that N sixty
four one, I think, or I forget what console generation
is on. So I mean, I feel like they don't
seem to want to do anything else with Star Fox,
and I don't know if that's going to change, Like
that's one of the few ips that is just continuing
to be dead, even like F zero is still getting
these gin his own games. It got F zero ninety nine,
so it got like a new entry in the Switch generation,
whereas Star Fox. I feel like after the crash and
burn of Zero, like, I don't I don't know if
the Switch Too is even going to be the time
that that re emerges, but I think a good way
to keep it somewhat active is just like dump the
games on the service. And yeah, you got like some
weird different Star Fox games on the game keep, which
is which is nice.
Speaker 3: Well, even with that, you can track if like let's
say Adventures goes up there and you have their charts
of what gets downloaded mostly okay, something like this is
because I'm always kind of surprised. I don't even know
they just said GameCube sales, right, like I have to
look and see what star Fox ventres even did and something.
Maybe they'll pull that up in a second, because I
just feel like that was I was always surprised we
didn't get a follow up very easy to you know,
they had some ship battles, but then it was Starfox
Out of the Ship, like remind.
Speaker 2: Was a launch launch window thing, right, I think?
Speaker 3: So? Yeah, it just reminded me of it felt similar
to Luigi's manch of Hey we're taking IP, but we're
doing something a little bit different with it this time.
And that's my fear of those. That's why even if
Donkey Kong is like not like a ten to ten
game of the Year, as long as it's good and sells,
then that makes me happy that we can get more
down the line or whatnot. Where Starfax that game I
think was their idea to bring that back, and like
you said, we crash and burn. That's my fear about
Donkey Kong and even Metroid right of like if Metroid
comes out and people don't care, like, Okay, this franchise,
we tried it, this is back on ice, and we'll
just like bring out the old games again. So I
hope those don't have that faith. And I agree with
you that if Starfox anything in the Switch to era,
it would be similar to Metroid where they've done a
bunch of ips and it's near the very end of
the life cycle, like it's not like a console seller.
I'm a star fucks fan. I played that sixty four
game was burnt to the ground. How much I played
that on Loop like it was it was a good,
great time. The same thing with the Star Fox Adventure.
So but yeah, I think it's a it just he's
not on the limelight right now. You know. The puppet's
kind of hurt him.
Speaker 1: Too, So hmm, I'm trying to find how much.
Speaker 3: I can it's a move maybe or something like that.
Speaker 1: Specifically, I'm actually just looking a Donkey Kong tropical freeze
to see. I'm like, okay, that sold on the Switch.
I don't know if I can find a number for that.
By December twenty eighteen, two hundred.
Speaker 2: Copies, two hundred copies.
Speaker 1: Sorry to two million. I'm reading like I'm reading like
multiple numbers of the two.
Speaker 3: Wonder what's the first week numbers? Like two hundred people
bought Donkey Kong.
Speaker 2: That's like I've seen something here with four millions.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, like those are those are good numbers,
but not like I feel like ten millions, that like
magical number on the Switch.
Speaker 2: You know, it was like a huge thing.
Speaker 1: And I know like with Metroid, like Dreid was the
biggest selling Metroid game ever, right, so like that has
some precedent and Tropical Freeze I think was like an
early port to the Switch. Even that's like pretty old
and rusty at this point and that game never really
goes on sale.
Speaker 3: Okay, so what do you what do you think you
might know this? What was the top selling game of
the game Cube On the GameCube, Yeah, number one sold
seven point four to one million units.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I guess the game people only sold like
forty million like consoles or something, right, I would say
marisnsh or Melee would be the My guess.
Speaker 3: Is it's Melee Sunshines three and then Mario Kart Double
Dashes two, so Melee has the record at some point four.
So I was looking, oh cool too.
Speaker 2: I didn't actually know that that's cool.
Speaker 3: I couldn't. I didn't know either, but now it's like
makes the most sense. It's weird though, So like I look,
Star Fucks Adventures thirteen, which is pretty good in its
whole life cycle, but the big difference of like, uh,
Super Smash seven point four and then starfagx Ventures at
one point eight, So it's like there's a big difference
between just even one and thirteen. But even then, like
when I was making that Luigi's Mansion comparison, Luigian Mansion
only to three point three million, and then Starfug's one
point that one.
Speaker 1: Was a launch title two, which can always be you know,
it's one of its two.
Speaker 2: It's two things. It's one.
Speaker 1: It's mean it means that games there for the entire
life cycle, it can sell copies for years and years.
But also it means like at launch, when the hype
is around it, you know, there's gonna be the smallest
amount of people that are ever gonna have that console
and able to buy it, so and do they can
always a.
Speaker 3: Double because I feel like my GameCube was a Luigi
Mansion bundle.
Speaker 2: Really they did a bundle for Luigi's managion.
Speaker 3: I could be wrong, maybe it just came together.
Speaker 1: It's a wild bundle game means something they usually go for,
just like really wide appeal games that are usually like
multiplayer for Nintendo.
Speaker 2: That's kind of crazy. If that is true.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to try and find it. It might be
a Mendela effect of me getting it as.
Speaker 1: A I know mine came bundled with Melee and Animal Crossing.
That's because it came from the pawn shop, so it
was a bit of a different into a different story.
Speaker 3: No I found I I don't know if.
Speaker 2: It was a cool box alry. I want to see this.
Speaker 3: It does not have cool box. I don't know if
this is true or not. I'm gonna pull up right
now on the screen, but there is this the Nintendo
gameqan Jet Black Luigi Bundle. But look it's like that
in that hell. I think I had something like this.
I swear, I swear it was a bundle that came
with Luigi's and a lot.
Speaker 2: Of these pictures are showing the Black game.
Speaker 3: The Blue or the Indigo. Yeah, so I don't know,
Like I said, could be a Mendel efect. Anybody out
there that's listening in the Discord comments wherever, let us
know if you also got a Luigi Mansion bundle or
if I'm just making that up, but I swear it
was there. But but you know, to my point, if
I was to go on the Nintendo stands and defend it,
Paper Mario Got made one point nine at twelve, and
that thirteen is one point eight Star Fucks, I feel
like if Paper Mario got, I know it's Mario, but
still they got other sequels later on. I'd say, Star
far Boks of Interest deserves one more.
Speaker 1: And they remade that game on switch the Paper Mario hand.
Speaker 3: And that would be my pitch, A bay, Nintendo, you
did a Star Fucks ship game didn't work out. Here's
a way to like revitalize it for some people to
be old, but for other people like, oh, that's cool,
he's out of a ship. Like that's my pitch. Two
Star Fucks of entest To or a subtitle that's a.
Speaker 2: White Whale game for me?
Speaker 1: For sure, so I'm excited to hopefully they I've never
played it, never played.
Speaker 3: I bet I'm not gonna I'm gonna have to be
on that side quest with you and you tear it
upon it when it comes to GameCube. But I'll retro
that with you when it comes to that'll make me
play it, So let's do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so I guess just quickly recap the three
games on day one. Yeah, Zelda Win Waker, which I've
not ever played that game, so that's I really have
day one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's another white whale one for me.
Speaker 1: Even though it was a huge GameCube kid. I guess
I didn't have a lot of games back then. You know,
it's like I had to really choose, Like I got
one game of Year? Am I getting Simpsons?
Speaker 2: Hitting Run? Am I getting win Waker? I guess I
went Simpsons in.
Speaker 3: A surprise, But that that win Waker to me was
a game that, like, to me, it's like if you
beat people in the GameCube, they played Mansion, Part Melee
and win Waker, like those were the about rushmore and
I'm surprised, Okay.
Speaker 1: I know, so I've been missing one there. Yeah, F
zero g X And then Soul Caliber two, and then
the ones they confirm are coming Mario Sunshine Finland, Path
of Radiance, Pokemon XD, Gale of Darkness, Mario Strikers of Course,
which will be really nice to have that easily accessible,
Luigi's Mansion, which is cool because then I'll have the
whole trilogy will.
Speaker 2: Be on Switch and Switch to, which is great.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess not on Switch one, only on Switch too, Yeah,
Clarify Pokemon Colisseum and.
Speaker 2: Then she be Rerobo.
Speaker 1: I'm really excited for that one because that's like a
rare game, like really expensive at like secondhand stores, and
that seems like a weird, weird, one of those weird
games that I've always wanted to check out. So I'm
excited for that one as well. So hopefully those come
like fairly quickly. I mean, if they announce them, they
probably will put them out in the next like three months,
I would say.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Which that's another thing too, I like you can
trickle a lot of Like obviously that's not gonna be
a console seller, but if it's like to keep the audience,
that's like, hey Christmas, there's no let's say Betrore gets
pushed right and there's no big single party one. It's like, Okay,
we're gonna make sure by November, these six GameCube games
are ready to go. And I think Nintendo, the people
that are the early adopters switches, will be happy with
that because those are the people that would go, oh,
I'm getting it for X, Y and Z and play
the GameCube. You know, the Christmas crowd. I feel that's
more the like, whether it's like our kids with it's
for a birthday or Christmas, that's more the okay, general
audience family. They're starting to get it now, and you
don't really have to worry about till like March April,
because they'll still be getting Mario Karran Donkey Kong, right like,
those will still be the two that they'll get.
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, let's take our first break and
we'll be right back for our next set of topics. Okay,
we are back. I think it's time for checking of
the video game draft. Of course, back in I guess
I think we did it February this year. Yes, every year,
the four, the GV quads, the GV four all pick
a bunch of games. Video games are gonna come out,
and then we when they finally do come out, we
look at their Metacritics score gets added on to your
Italian by the inde who has the highest rating of games.
Last year, we added games midyear and then kind of
replaced some things that got delayed. So we'll probably do
that again in the summer, maybe after the Switch two
comes out at some point. We did it around Games Calm,
I think last year, so maybe we'll plan yeah.
Speaker 3: Because then by that point we've had games Fest, right,
so if there's anything else that's like a surprise.
Speaker 1: A bunch of new things, yeah, and if any delays,
most of them will get announced by that point. Then
you can always get a vowed like me last year,
and you never know, last minute, they'll bullet from under
your feet.
Speaker 3: That could be my rock star this year. That could
I'm sticking with GTA to the bitter end, you know
that coming up this year, I'm like, yeah, I hope
it does.
Speaker 1: I hope Also, I mean it might get you like
one hundred and twenty points on Metacritic. It might break
the scale for the first time ever.
Speaker 3: You know that legitimately could be a gain, like that's
that's that's the white world. That could win me the
video game draft if I need a big one. But again,
that's just like a winner lose scenario.
Speaker 1: So mm hmm, Well, let's look at a current lose scenario,
which is Taylor Field and fourth place. Two of his
games have released now, like A Dragon Pirity Huza in
Hawaii seventy nine points and Wonder Stop at eighty points,
so honestly a solid average, like pretty much eighty you know,
you take those, so one hundred and fifty nine points overall.
He's got Death Stranding coming out very soon, METROI Prime,
which hopefully, you know, to our point, does not get
delayed as we were thinking it might, and then Annot
one one seven, which apparently is still coming out. I
looked totally forgot he drafted that. Totally forgot that was
a game until I was looking at this again today.
That's still supposed to come out this year, So we'll
see what happens with his and Kirkland has two games
released as well. He has Split Fiction, which released for
ninety one, really really solid, and then Adam Fall, which
I'm surprised to see out of seventy four. I thought
that game would have after playing through it, really enjoying it,
I thought it would have been in the eighties or
low eighties, closer to the eighties at least, but either way,
because of the high ninety one of split fiction, he's
above Taylor Field, so he's at one sixty five. He
has doomed the Dark Age is coming out in just
a couple of weeks, and then well for him, I
think so, and then Mafia the Old Country in the summer,
and then MGS Delta. I forget when that's supposed to
come out, but I think it did. I mean, we've
seen a lot of trailers for it, so I think.
Speaker 3: It's like I think it's like, no, it's the end
of the year. I think because I was just recently
talking about this with Chris about if we were because
he's a fan of that series two, and we're both like, yeah,
I think we'll wait. But I think it's more near
the end of the year where I was like, still
could get pushed.
Speaker 1: Still, I thought that was going to come out holiday
last year, so we'll do what.
Speaker 3: You can't trust Konamie. You know who knows what's going
on over there.
Speaker 1: So don't trust Kanomi. But so far, Kirkland has the
highest rated individual game that is Split Fiction at ninety one,
so really good pick for him. That was his second
second round pick. And then for you and me, Travis,
because we have three games released, we are in the
number one and two spots. You are at number two
right now with a very clean average. You have a
VOW at eighty, Sassas Creen Shadows at eighty one, and
WW two K twenty five at eighty.
Speaker 2: As well, So eight eighty across the board.
Speaker 3: I'll take that. I don't have a big winner yet,
but I don't have a big loser yet either, So
that's a good average for me going into like the
back hat like the second half of the year for me.
So I'm nothing but eighties. You tell me that I'm
happy with that so far?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you do.
Speaker 1: I will say I have a couple question marks though,
because Judas and then as you mentioned GTA six to
close it out, So those are a risky two to
count on, just because Judas is another one of those
games that I don't know could come out seven years
from now. I would not be shocked. You never know
what that.
Speaker 3: Good not good, But it could also be like, oh
they didn't meet the magic of it, Like that's GTA
and Judas are big Hill Mary's but who knows. We'll
see if the play is off.
Speaker 1: But I'm kind of surprised you have. You know, of
your three games released, Assassin's Creed is the highest rating.
Look at that series. Go but still plugging along all
these days later.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've heard good things, so you know, cos been
playing a lot.
Speaker 2: He told me, yeah, I have to bring one side quest.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm happy to have Assassin's Creed there and
take it from Taylor. He didn't believe in it. Taylor
was like, oh, you're gonna have it, but like eighty.
Speaker 2: One, that's yeah.
Speaker 1: There was a third round pick, so he picked Anno
one one seven over Assassin's Creed or I don't know
how that were.
Speaker 2: I forget the order of.
Speaker 1: Picking, but either way he could first yeah, he could
have said he went deaths ranting too on the beach,
which all of us were like, whoa that my game
might not come out. It is coming out. It's a
good job to Taylor for that.
Speaker 2: So we'll see.
Speaker 1: What is the metacritic of deast Raining one. I feel
like it's in the eighties.
Speaker 3: I think it's high eight. I'm gonna say it's like
eighty seven because I feel like the people that really
liked the game rated it very high. So that's what
SAYD where I think there was a lot of two.
Oh really, okay, it's high right now. I thought it
was higher.
Speaker 2: So any two and six on PC? You know, so
you got checking platform.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm wondering. Yeah, I'm wondering what this could be.
You could you could tell me that the sequels of
ninety I could believe it. You could tell me the
sequels of seveny. I could believe it because I know
be GM is gonna take some big swings. Just a
question of which which direction to do those swings go?
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, my my guess would be that
like the audience, like gamers as a whole, are going
to enjoy the game more. I think mostly just because
like pe, like the first one weeded out a lot
of people. Probably like people who played it and didn't
like it, probably not gonna come back for the second
one unless they just like the people that like to
complain about stuff, and they'll pick it up anyway and
still complain about it. But you don't need to buy
the game to complain. Just go complain about it.
Speaker 2: For free on Twitter dot com.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, I mean that doesn't really mean anything
for the critics and the metacritics score. Well, there's the
audience score, of course, but the one we're looking at
is the critic one. And then that leaves me currently
in first place with A Monster a hundred, whiles at
ninety SOFAS Midnight seventy seven and MLB the show twenty
five eighty three, which apparently came out. I totally I
don't think I heard a single, you know, whimper about that.
Not that I was expecting to, but I'm surprised South
of Midnight is each in the seventies, especially after so yeah,
people praise it, and I played the first couple hours
and honestly, it wasn't really my CuPy. I might go
back to it, but like didn't really enough to say
and bring it up on the show. But after like
the first couple hours I played, I'm pretty surprised by
that rating of it. It's not the worst, I guess,
but it's I think it's officially yellow on Metacritic, which
you never like.
Speaker 2: To see that muster yellow.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the Monster Hunter, which was my number one,
number one round pick, gave me a ninety, so that's
kind of that's that's good to see. And I got
Eldon Ring and Ghost of Yotai coming out, so those
should be pretty good ones. So I'm feeling pretty good
about my us right now.
Speaker 3: I think you're probably locked with another ninety or at
least high eighty of the l Ring because think people
just love that Ghost of the Yota. What did the
first ghosts to is that, like, try and find out,
I'm probably gonna have wrong. I thought that was more
like an eighty one eighty two, so I probably have
destraining that completely confused and switched around eighty three, okay,
So I feel like it's gonna be about that. I
could see a dip. Yeah, I think an eighty, but
not non to the yellow at least that's where my
prediction is there. But I think Alan Ring you gotta,
you gotta, you got a good winner there.
Speaker 1: So and yeah, I don't know if I said it,
but you were at two hundred and forty one overall
IM at two fifty, so we're nine points different, okay
between us, So it's not not the hugest you know,
g six what comes out and it's a ninety plus
like you know right in there, right in.
Speaker 3: The one hundred that we could get a hundred now,
you know.
Speaker 1: Has it any game ever got one hundred? Galaxy is
at like one hundred?
Speaker 3: Oh is it? And Breatha while I think was really close, right,
wasn't that Breatha while I think had one hundred for
quite a while.
Speaker 1: And Mark Galax is at ninety seven, which is insane.
Speaker 3: I breath the wild. I feel like that's ninety eight?
Did it eclipse back thing? Because I remember it was
rocking one hundred for at least as well. Okay, it
was rock on hundred for a couple of days. That's
what pushed me over to buy that game, because I
was like, I gotta play this thing and see what
it's like.
Speaker 2: Must be a way I can just go look at
the rankings.
Speaker 3: Yeah, ranking, I think those are the two highest ones. Okay,
it's gonna be one hundred, but I could see GT six.
It could ucause like even though.
Speaker 1: Okay, let me let me pop cuzy right now, try
and guess like the top ten of metacritics.
Speaker 2: This I'm already surprised. The number one.
Speaker 1: Number one is not surprising, but there are multiple other
surprises in this list.
Speaker 3: Okay, but number one, can you at least give me
a decade so I know what I'm working with because
there's a lot of games out.
Speaker 1: There, and as yes, then as we mentioned, so Mar
Galaxy that's at four overall.
Speaker 3: Okay, and I don't know how.
Speaker 1: This, so there's multiple things at ninety seven, but mar
Galaxy is at four on here breatha, well that's at six,
even though they're both at ninety seven. So let's let's
see one that is a nineties game. In fact, the
top two are nineties games.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, late nineties. I'll of you even give you that.
Speaker 3: Late nineties top two. Okay, I'm gonna.
Speaker 1: See Okay, here's another hint, both series. Actually even I'll
expand this to the top three. The top three are
series we have already mentioned on this episode of side
Quest today in this hour.
Speaker 3: So I feel like one of them's got to be
a smash game? Right? Is one of those top three
a smash game?
Speaker 2: There's no Smash in the top ten.
Speaker 3: Okay, so we talked about that. I know it's not
Star Fox.
Speaker 1: Starbocks Adventures. I'm saying the series. Sorry, I'm saying the
series not necessarily individual game.
Speaker 3: No, I know, I know you said serious we talked
about because I know we were talking about Smatch.
Speaker 1: I just mean you're meming on Starfucks but like, I
don't know Starfucks sixty four. I feel like that's a
you know, critically acclaimed game, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's on the top ten though, right, No,
I don't think nothing. I don't think so. Yeah, it
should be sixty that's a maybe not maybe not.
Speaker 1: Boily number eleven here Metroid Prime at number eleven, Way
to go the original Prime?
Speaker 3: Okay, nineties late game? Okay, I'm I'm doing still call friend?
Is it a Nintendo game for number one?
Speaker 2: Yes? Nintendo game number one?
Speaker 3: Late nineties? Is it?
Speaker 2: Mario sixty four is not Mario sixty four.
Speaker 3: Is Mario sixty four on that top ten list?
Speaker 2: Mario sixty four is not in the top twenty five?
Speaker 3: Wow? Surprising after that was a transcendent game back then.
Speaker 2: But very you're close, you're red hot with that.
Speaker 3: Guess yeah, because you say nineties, So it's it's not
GameCube eram is it one of the carts?
Speaker 2: No carts? No carts?
Speaker 3: Is Amri RPG?
Speaker 2: No more?
Speaker 3: At least that I was closed. I officially thrown the
towel I thrown the Time.
Speaker 1: Okay, number one Legendzelda Ocrene of Time ninety nine.
Speaker 3: That was ninety nine. I thought that was earlier. Okay,
that's why I thought it was more like ninety six,
ninety seven. But no, I guess that tracks ninety yeah.
Speaker 2: Because I think this N sixty four came out in
ninety six.
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, And that's why I was in my
mind I had have like a launch game. But that
that's just young Travis, just like I think I when
I got the N sixty four, I got that Donkey
Kong and the Orcrean of Times.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, number two the original Soul Caliber really isn't
that insane? At ninety eight on Metacritic.
Speaker 2: Came in ninety American back then.
Speaker 1: Jeez, god, they gotta put that one on intend with
online nothing. I want to go play the second eyes
rated game of all the time. Do you want toss
guess the rest of these drow me to reveal?
Speaker 3: You tell me, you tell me how terrible.
Speaker 2: Number three is?
Speaker 1: GT four, Number four, Tomorrow, Galaxy five, Sumarow Galaxy two
right next to each other, which is I think we've.
Speaker 3: Talked about that before. That sounds familiar.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, legend of Zelda Breath the while at number six,
another big surprise number seven is Perfect Dark, the original.
Speaker 3: Perfect Dark, right, okay?
Speaker 1: Another surprise number eight is Tony Hawk's pro s Kter three.
Speaker 3: Yeah that makes sense. I just feel like, yeah, just yeah,
a buzz game.
Speaker 1: So and then Rockstar closing out with Red Dead two
and GTA five for number nine and ten, and then
GK three is number twelve, So yeah, rock Star is
all over this list for sure.
Speaker 3: Perfect Dark and what was the other one there? Soul
Caliber definitely ones. I would have never I could have
sat it for hours and never.
Speaker 2: In a million years, I'd never would have guessed soul Caliber.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Wow, there you go. There's your history.
Speaker 1: Lesson to know that I should blow this down into
a full quiz. I feel this would be fun to
quiz you guys on some of these things from I
feel like Metacritics got some good, good, good stats here from.
Speaker 2: Over the years.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Anyway, there is our draft, so yeah, I think we're
gonna get an update here is pretty soon. With Kirkland's
Dark Doom, Dark Ages, he could pop into number one
places with that we'll see he would need.
Speaker 2: I'm not good at quick math.
Speaker 1: He would need an eighty six. I think so. I
think he's probably gonna he's probably gonna cruise into number
one here pretty quick.
Speaker 2: I think so, yeah, yeah, yeah, who knows. Only only
time will tell. Uh let's talk with some of the guys.
Been playing. What have you been playing? Travis?
Speaker 3: Uh So, not too much because I just had been
busy recently. But obviously we talked about this on After
nine quickly and I'll just quickly talk about it play
call duty. This week we went Taylor because we're dancing
being back. That's been fun. But we're going on our
ninth session now. Zero wins. Don't know what's happening. It's
soul crushing, Dylan, I and I said, this team like
that night where it's like it's not even the wins.
It's like getting into the final circle and be like, oh,
we're so close to that, Like that's like rarely happen anymore.
Don't know if it's the Homnie movements, don't know if
it's I lost something when having the twins and there's just.
Speaker 2: Like play movement. Man, that's my excuse.
Speaker 3: That's the excuse. I have to go to because and
we've still gone wins in the past, but yeah, there's
never been this long a drive and you can hear
after nine it's like, oh, well for dance, it's different
than this, Like yeah, sure, but it's like to me,
it's like to not have a win after that many
sessions is quite brutal. So it's get to a point
where I will play it, of course, but before it
was like almost on every weekend thing. Now it's gonna
probably be like a bi weekly thing, which will probably
get me worse, right, it'll make me worse. But it's
just like it's just it's like when you play a lot.
It's it's like I said, if you were to get
the final circle and not win back, oh, at some
point we'll get it. But it's always the same thing.
If you land somewhere, you get a bunch of this stuff,
you start, you're going really good, and then the team
just comes and wipes you on and it's it's over
and you go back to loading screen. You know, it's
like you just get settled and it's it's over, and
it's just like a I feel like old man, where
it's like I used to we used to be like
the A Hat trick was like the bare minimum. It
was like, Okay, we got three wins and then let's
see what more we can do. There was one night
where me tarr Emily did nine wins in a row
on resurgence like nine weeks. Yeah, no, nine weeks. So
hopefully it happens. I'm sure Taylor's now new justifications. Well,
we can't. We can't do it without four of us,
so and I agree, I'm not dropping again until there's
a full squad. Maybe that's it, but I still don't
think that's it. I don't as much as I want
to believe that. And then the other thing is, so
as I talked about, when I came back, I had
this whole like list of what I want to do.
Originally my list was Alan Wake Doom and then going
to Deaf Stranding Austin. Nintendo's gonna throw some stuff in there,
but really it's just gonna be Donkey Kong because like,
I'm not even like I can leave it to the girls.
I'm not obsessed with like finishing all the tracks and
doing stuff like Mario Kart I enjoy, but I feel like.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's a game you're gonna play consistently for
eight years, you know, you don't need to play a
ton of a month.
Speaker 3: And I think it's like unlike Donkey Kong, where I
been thirsty for it, Like Mario Kurr is a game
that I've played so much in my life. It's okay,
I know how Mario Karr, like I know what to
do here, and I'm never I'm not like the way
Emily's Jones are for like, I'm not Jones and for
Mario Crar. If you're to tell me, hey, you're not
gonna play and Mario Kurr switch to him, oh man,
I'd be okay. Cool. I've played it since I was five,
like I'm good. But now I've gone back to Star
Wars Outlaws. Actually I resa subscribed to Ubisa Plus because
it's just a combo of a reviewing and or and
this weekend with the girls because they were re released
Revenge of Sith. We saw that. So I'm just kind
of in a Star Wars mood that was on my list.
But that was on my list like more like fall
to Finish. So I did Bump Alan Wake, but I
just went, Okay, I want to complete this game, and
my whole thing is I got it for the month.
I'm going to power through it and completely beat it
because I think i'm like for the main quest, I'm
like a seventy percent there, so I don't have that
much to do. But there's still some more side stuff
I'd like to play.
Speaker 1: Have you been to all the planets at this point?
Like all the different not.
Speaker 3: Talloween, but I left Halloween last because I've been to
Talloweine again my whole life, you know, So I have
no excitement to go there, but I will go there.
But no, it's been fun. I went to the Green
Planet now I can't remember the name of it. That's
not for one of the movies or it is, But
that's been a good time. So no, it's just been
an enjoyable fun time. It's all my lists. Like I said,
I wanted to beat games that I have picked up
before and either got closer or not everything the Indiana Jones.
I beat the game, but there's still tons of side
quest stuff. I want to go back because I absolutely
love the game. I just took a break because I
went really hard on Indiana Jones where it's like, okay,
I need to take a break. But yeah, so this
one was just the list. I try to keep the
list in order, but this was just like a viz
where I'm like, you know what, I want to be,
shooting Stormtroopers. I want to be and it kind of not.
And Or is like a smuggler, but it's that type
of vein right where you're not a Jedi, you're someone
boots on the ground. You're doing little stealthy missions. I
was like, and that's what Andor is. He's boots on
the ground, He's sneaking around, Like, Okay, this is what
I want. So I'm gonna beat that and then and
then I'll be getting ready for Doo. Maybe I might
play some something else in between, but my goal is
just to beat out Laws before Doom Dark Ages and
then we'll see, because I'm not gonna play the Doom
in between. Uh what was the I can't remember. There's
the one in twenty fifteen, and then there was a sequel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was Doom twenty sixteen, then Eternal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Eternal I'm just not gonna play because I
just don't want to get doomed out.
Speaker 2: You play twenty sixteen though, I did, and I love
that game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I just don't want to get doomed out
at my and especially because this is a prequel right,
like it's before like way way back right. Not that
it's big on story, dude, but my idea is, Okay,
if I play Dark Ages, I'm just loving it. Then
I know, Okay, I got a turnal right there where
I don't want to play a turnalm, like, Okay, I
gotta do Dark Ages now, maybe even though I love
the aesthetic come out into it. So yeah, Dark Ages
I'm very excited for because I just think everything looks
very cool about that. But yeah, so outlaws and having
a good time. Nothing too much to repeat. I did
see that there is the DLC though when I redownloaded that.
Speaker 1: So I was gonna ask you about that, like does
that pop right in or do you have to pay
extra for that?
Speaker 3: It looks like when I downloaded on ub Plus it
was the game and then it was Wildcard DLC. It
didn't say like do you want to pay in additional money.
It looked like the DLC was just free with it.
So that was another thing where I was like, okay,
maybe another side.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a new map or anything. And
it's just like a couple of quests or.
Speaker 3: Yeah something with Lando too. He's on there like smiling
and like doing something that's probably working with him. So yeah,
maybe on one side quest when I come back, if
I get to play that, like if I'm still wanting to,
I can talk about that, because I don't think we
ever did the DLC talk. But yeah, so this was
just a vibes thing. But I still I still have
my game plan list. And then I also, I don't
know how long the games are. But after Smash I did,
I guess I didn't say about that. I bought the
Minecraft for the girls, like Steve and whoever. I got Banjo,
who I'm actually actually having a really good time with.
I did not know. I think I knew this, but forgot.
I did not know. Both Banjo games are on games Pass,
so I downloaded those and those might get shuffled somewhere
because that's that's kind of a cheat. That's not a
completion list. But I feel like those games can't be
too long, right, Like I feel like I could power
through those ones like a Band of Zoo game. Like
I don't know, I just I just don't remember them.
I feel like they didn't even take that long when I.
Speaker 1: Was I guess if you're just like, you know, getting
through the levels, but if you're doing like one hundred
like getting all the collectibles and whatnot, then I would probably, oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like, let listen, this still main game eleven a
half hours to one hundred percent completion fourteen and a half. Yeah,
And I feel like that says a kid as an adult.
I haven't played these games as adult, and I was
a big Banjo fans, so not sure those might get
reworked somewhere into the.
Speaker 1: If you are planning on doing that, let me know,
because I think that'd be a fun main topic episode
because I've played like two or three hours of Banjo Kazoo.
But like, that was definitely a blind call for me
back in the sixty four days, And anytime I'm like,
oh I love don Kyok sixty four, people are like, oh, yeah,
that's just the worst version of Banjo Kazoo. I'm like, Okay,
settle down. I get it, you like your game, but
let me like my game. But I definitely would love
to like dedicate an episode to really breaking down what
makes that game special. But yeah, also, such a fun
move set. I love his move set and smash.
Speaker 2: He's so fucky.
Speaker 3: I will not. I will press play until I talk
to you then, because maybe maybe it'll be you.
Speaker 2: Can, but just then let me know and then I'll
then I'll press play as well.
Speaker 3: I don't want to be like I'm in the middle
of this game and there's this like I can I
played bad?
Speaker 2: I can that's an easy one you play.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that, like I said, that's just my goal
this year as the list. I think now that Alan
Wake was the Wake two was the plan. I think
I've probably booted that to be my my fall game
because obviously you got Donkey Kong, we got Deaf Stranding Ghost.
We'll talk about later. I'm still deciding upon I think
I'm gonna save Alan Wake for the September October Spooky season,
and that's kind of my I could have got my
game plan for now until fall, so.
Speaker 1: Until summer game best hits you with a hits you
with a wrench of like some new Star.
Speaker 3: Events to drop in August sixth. It's like they did
have another game, My.
Speaker 1: God, that would be crazy, the eighty hour version of Yeah,
and then it's like on the WIU for some reason,
like they just released.
Speaker 3: I didn't sell it. I still got my WIU somewhere,
you know, because I've always say traces in IM want
to once the kids move out and I retire, I
want what when I see people they just have that
pluth through of all the consoles. I want that where
it's a wall of just all my different consoles. So
that's why even though we you you know, I played
Disney and Finny on there, a Smash game stills a
place in my heart.
Speaker 1: And you're keeping your Switch one for like because you
have just tons of kids and so it'll get played, right.
Speaker 3: That's super easy to be like, oh one once, because
I think I'm soon going to put Minecraft on the
switch because Logan's been starting to diper toes into it now.
So I think that's a good way of like, hey
there's switch to Switch one now you can break off
and play everything, or even like if I got some
for a review where it's okay, I need to play
the switch too for X, Y and Z, while the
Switch one stills a bunch of games. So yeah, that's
why it's just like it's just it's like another console
right there. So yeah, it's the switch one is uh
staying home, so mm.
Speaker 1: Hmm, yeah I will. I'll probably sell my switch one.
I have less need for a second one then I can.
I don't know how much I can get for how
much you think I can get for a switch one?
Speaker 2: One hundred and fifty? Is that too much? Ask two hundred?
Speaker 3: How old is it one hundred and fifty?
Speaker 1: I mean it's not the base model one. It is
the one that has like the better battery. But it's
just like it is just the standard version. It's not
like the O letter or anything.
Speaker 3: I think one hundred and fifty is like the is
the max. I think one hundred is justified. But yeah,
I think the peak is one hundred and fifty. Yeah,
could you make sure you do it early on because
I feel like, you know, longer switch to is out,
the more that that call, like the price goes down
for you.
Speaker 1: So yeah, but the thing is like to transfer your
save file, is you need your switch one?
Speaker 3: Oh? I know? So you have the transfer and then
do it do it right after Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah sounds good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad to you're playing more Outlaws. We'll talk
about some more Star Wars stuff in a minute.
Speaker 2: I really just have one quick shout out here.
Speaker 1: So I've been playing some more of the Oblivion remaster
because you know that's just my pride and joy right
there at any point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I put them after I heard one hundred hour
game on your list.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, I I haven't listened to flips so, but
after I heard you and Taylor talk a little bit
about it. I think when I'm trying to before because
whoever knows when the next Outher Scrolls game come out,
I'd like to dip my toast because I've never played
that or I've never played uh Skyrim. Either. Those are
white whales for me if like, I just never never
got around to that. So I did put on the
list so because easy down.
Speaker 2: Forget Marwin Travis. I know it's old and smelly.
Speaker 3: But but is that even on games Pass.
Speaker 2: I think it is. Yeah, I think.
Speaker 3: Okay, So maybe I did see a lot of people
when this was announced. A lot of people remind me
of you, saying like, oh, this is nice and all,
but when's we again tomorrow?
Speaker 2: And I know we're annoying, annoying.
Speaker 3: Okay, So I feel like that's a white whale, but
I want that to happen. I want you a remaster
remakes and that it's like fine tune for.
Speaker 1: Me, but it could use it could use on for sure,
go with it. Yeah, it's great. I'm I'm you know,
just doing more of the same. Uh, It's it's just
a gorgeous game. I'm kind of just going city to
city and like seeing the glow up that each place
has gotten because this game is so iconic for me
in so many locations. So I'm just kind of breathing
in and taking.
Speaker 2: My time, not trying to rush through everything.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's like I'm still discovering new things I
never did before. That's just how much there is these
games that like there's certain quests or areas or like
a town I'd never been to before, Like, how was
there just a town I've never heard of in this game.
I know they didn't add this, It's always been in
the game. I just never stumbled upon it. So that's
been a good time. But you know, this is a
very quick shout out. But last week Claire Obscure Exhibition
thirty three came out, which is like the oddest latest
game on game Pass and everything, and I've heard a
lot of buzz about this game. I was looking forward
to it, but I was also like, I don't know,
this is like this team's first effort. It looks like
a huge game and it's like a twenty man team
or something like. I don't know, Like I feel like
this game could be not end up like being as
good as it looks. But then the reviews came out
and it's like this the number one or number two,
like best reviewed game of the year, I think before
blue Prints or after blueprint Prints.
Speaker 2: Something like that.
Speaker 1: So doing really good in that way. So I booted up,
played through the first couple hours, and then my game,
well what happened was I died to a like mini
boss and you know, in a very dark it's like
you died or expedition failed or something like that. My
characters' bodies are lying on the ground. Thirty seconds passes by.
My body's lying on the ground, the camera is still
just kind of quickly going back and forth. A minute passes,
two minutes past, and I'm like, this game does not
have permittith, right, this is like a fifty hour ARPG.
There's no way this game has permitith. I didn't like
die like for fin old times, right, And then you know,
I look it up. No, that's not what happened. I
was like, hey, I just want to confirm it up. Crazy,
I'm cool, I'll close the game, it crashed whatever. I
boot up the game again, and it's just like erased
my save, Like it kept my save to the first
like ten to fifteen minutes, but then like it raised
everything after that. So and you know, the weirdest thing
about this game, this game's really cool, really great. You know,
it seems like it has a lot of quality of
life stuff. It does not have a manual save. It
only has auto saves, and so like I couldn't even
have made a save, it just had auto saves. And
then it deleted all of my ones from like this
recent time. You know, really weird, really weird decision. And so,
you know, for a few days, I was like, well,
that seems like a really big thing to take a
risk on a game like this, Like I might just
wait for it to get a patch, you know, get
fixed up, and then I'll come back to it. Then
I kind of caved today because I was like, I
really I really want to get this thing a shot.
And you know what, mostly what made that decision was
I googled like crazy the last few days, like you know,
Xbox Save issue, try to google every permutation of it,
and I can't find a single other person who had
this issue. So to me, I was like, Okay, this
seems like whatever this bug was was incredibly rare, and
like you know, other games recently like Stalker two or
what was it, Metal Metal Slug Tactics, when I was
playing those games and they were super buggy, and I
was googling the issues I was having, and everyone was
having those issues. I was like, Okay, yeah, these are
non issues. This game is super buggy. This seemed like
a bit of a one off, so I I'm taking
the risk. If it happens again, I'm out. You know,
you've lost. You've lost by that point. But I, you know,
I could kind of blast through that first area again
because I had done it already once. So I skipp
in the cut scenes and like, get I know how
to do the combat now. So now I'm past where
I was before and it's going well. So I think
I'm gonna save that for next week when I've played
a lot more, because I just, you know, spent a
few days not even touching it because I was scared
that it was.
Speaker 2: Gonna break on me again. But yeah, I'll share more
about that next week.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm backing it and hopefully he doesn't glutch
out for me again because it's it's pretty cool so far.
Speaker 2: I will say.
Speaker 1: The one thing I wanted to bring up with you,
Travis is the main character looks like Robert Pattison. To me,
He's got like the bone facial structure, his beard, mustache
a little bit different. And I didn't really see it
until I was like in game that I was like,
this looks like Robert Pattison. But you know what's even
crazier voiced by Charlie Cox. Oh match made in Heaven
right there.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's funny, I swear. I think I already saw
someone do like a fan cast on one of my
Twitter timelines for like that character of like looking similar.
So yeah, that's funny. Yeah, No, that's okay, that's.
Speaker 2: Good to know it.
Speaker 1: I didn't catch it at first because he's he's using
like I don't know, fee is he British or is
he French? Like okay, he's using his British accent or
like this game is like French theme, so maybe he's
doing a bit of French flair and I don't really know,
but like, I didn't recognize his voice instantly, and then
I saw it as like oh that I was like,
why is this voice sounds familiar? Oh, it's because it's
my boy. I just I've only ever heard him doing
an American accent. So that was a fun, fun connection there.
And yeah, all the other voice actings great as well.
I don't know if I know any other people, but
to get him for like the main characters is a
pretty cool. It's a good get for them, for this
small team with their first game, really really cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, next week I will report back on that one.
And how about we take our last break and we'll
get into a couple a couple of new games coming out.
All right, we are back, so let's get right back
to Star Wars here. So Star Wars Zero Company, which
I think I talked to Taylor, but I think I
talked to you about it as well at some point
on side Quest got a new trailer to day. It's
got like a Steam page and stuff, so there's a
little more info out there, not a lot, but a
little bit. It's coming out twenty twenty six. Then, yeah,
so this trailer kind of had, you know, ninety percent
of it was like CGI cutsing setting up the story
and the premise and the setting, and I guess the timeline,
which is important for Star Wars stuff. And then there
was like fifteen seconds of like little gameplay bits and
bops in there, So I don't know what was your
just general take of I guess like the.
Speaker 2: Little glimpses gameplay we got.
Speaker 1: But then also I think I'm more curious, like how
are you come up with the story, because I found
the voiceover and the setup like very cheesy and like
it didn't seem like intentionally cheesy. So I didn't know
if I was just reading that off. But how'd you
feel about it?
Speaker 3: I thought it was fine. I think I kind of
gave it some like obviously every teaser first looks should
be like oh oh wow. At the same point, once
you get the end of Trance in twenty twenty six,
I was like, okay, unless it's very early in twenty
twenty six, I'm like, okay, they got lots of time
to sell this, and come.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did say pre alpha gameplay in there too,
to be clear, So it.
Speaker 3: Just feels like, Okay, stars celebrations around the corner. They
don't do celebration every year. That's an every two year event.
So it just felt like, hey, what do we have
we can show off? And even the Star Wars Eclipse
was like, oh, we got stuff to show soon, but
like they gave no time. So it's like, I don't
think any of Star Wars games are really ready to
show anything. So I thought it was I thought it
was a fine trail. I could see what you're just
saying about with the cheesiness. It didn't hit me too much,
but also like it didn't I wasn't like Reven to go. Yeah,
I I was disappointed by the lack of gameplay. Again,
it's more just an announcement. I'm not expecting a full thing,
but a little bit more would have been nice. But
I kind of like the setup as far as you know,
it's not exactly, but it sounds like it. It's Midnight
Suns were your main character and you're doing a creative character.
It's like, Okay, that's fine. And then I like that
because we were talking about this before, like do you
play as this? Do you play as heroes from the past?
And we definitely know. We don't know how it works,
but there's definitely characters from I can't I think they
were leaked images, right, those images, like were they leaked
or released? Remember they had actual Star Wars characters. They
were like IP characters were like, Oh that's so and so,
that's so and so.
Speaker 2: My brain I don't even remember that.
Speaker 3: To be honest, I think it's a leaked at so
I'll try and look.
Speaker 1: But I guess the Clone Wars era, so I guess
that gives us like a ton of potential of no characters, right.
Speaker 3: Well, the tough thing was it showed some characters. I
guess it could be it showed some characters that were
alive in the Clone Wars but also live in the
Dark time, so you never know where that could go.
But I loved the idea of the squad being all
different peeple, like you got a Jedi there, you got
a sniper there, tactical person I can't remember the other two.
And then off your characters is gonna be what.
Speaker 4: These guys are professionals? That was one of the quotes
that said yes, and then I agree. It was like okay,
but I kind of get there going for I think
they're going for like a reservoir dog sort of, it's
your squad.
Speaker 2: There's a show of a suicide squad situation, like, yeah,
there's a.
Speaker 3: Star show called Bad Badge that I'm not a fan,
but I kind of get what they were going for.
But so far, like the setup and the small snippets
of the gameplay, I was like, Okay, this looks intriguing me,
Like it looks kind of what I'm hoping for. I
need a lot more to see about this, but yeah,
so it's one of these things that just it mildly
scratched the itch. But I'm still very excited for it,
and I'm hoping it's a game that looks good as
we see more, and I hope it were view as well.
I think it's one that I'm pretty much just a
day one but I still wait until, like hopefully the
reviews come out. After the reviews are just brutal, That's
where I'll go. Okay, I'll if it's like a two
side squad situation, now that would be right, But usually
comic games, those are day one for me. When that
took that turn of the time, Okay, no, I'm not
spending eight dollars, and I'm glad I didn't because I
got two side Squad for free like a couple of
months ago on like whatever PS plus or whatever. So
that's where it's this is a day one if it's
like I think, like even in the set in the
Green seventies for me, because I think a Star Wars
game in this genre could be lots of fun. So
but yeah, teasers out the greatest. But I like the
setup of you and the squad and even the custom
character kind of makes sense.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I think in terms of you know,
the quick gameplay snippets, it seems really really close to
x Calm in terms of the inspiration for it. I'm
curious what that means for like Melee comics, I feel
like those kinds of games are more about like really
positioning your guys between like different blocks and things like that,
and it's more about like positioning you guys on Overwatch
who are up high above. But I feel like such
a big part of Star Wars as like the mainly
combat when you're talking about like lightsabers and other things
like that, and as you're talking about like if we
get like Jeda like characters like I don't know, is
there gonna be force powers or things like that incorporated.
And the move set which feels like kind of like
a Midnight Sunsy sort of thing of like pushing units around.
So I'm curious to see if there is like a
hook to this game other than it's like this is
a tactics game that is based on Star Wars, because
I mean that is a hook enough for a lot
of people, But for me, who's played like a ton
of games in the genre, I'm looking for something different,
and I feel like Midnight Suns. You know, even if
I wasn't a big Marvel fan, I think I probably
still would have bought that game because it just had
a really weird, interesting new mechanic with it, whether it
was like introducing the card stuff or the really movement
based stuff, the combos attacks things like this, and then
like you know, the stuff outside of just the combat itself,
with the abbey and building up your characters and upgrading
and whatnot. And so I'm sure this game will have
all sorts of things like that too, but I wonder
if it does have like a special something to it,
because if it does, I could see myself picking it up.
I do love this genre, and I think as much
as I kind of I'm not a big Star Wars
fan right now, I obviously loved Outlaws, and I think
it's it's such a great there's so much potential in
that world, and it's such a fun imagery, and there's
such how many iconic weapons and characters and freaks.
Speaker 2: You know, I love those.
Speaker 1: Freaks, So I feel like it could have a lot
of potential for that. I one thing I was gonna
ask you the there's a little red droid who's like
in the ship with them, goes out onto the field,
Like I can't really tell if that's a play. Do
you think you can play as like this R two
D two droid or is that more like a support
sort of thing just on the side that you don't control,
because I would love to have weird little droids and
stuff like that be like part of the team.
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think if you if it's
on the team at all, it's like an attack for
one of the characters, like it's like, okay, you know,
literally just try attack.
Speaker 1: It looked like it was taking up like a spot
on the map, but I don't know if that was
just visual.
Speaker 3: I guess it's just weird because they were talking about
the squad, right, it was like the four people and
then your custom characters. So I feel like, does that
mean then they would be, well, the robot. That's what
I don't know, because I look at the poster. The
robot is on the poster, but then it is, yeah,
the creative character in the middle, and then you have
like the four people behind you. So I don't know
if that would be something they're hiding. I'm just gonna
say no, just because I feel like they said it's
the four squad on you, but maybe the robot is not,
like he's on the squad but not.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm conflicted. So if a gun to my head,
we're gonna say you don't control the joid separately, I'll.
Speaker 2: Say gun in my head. I hope they do.
Speaker 3: Yeah me too, Yeah, I hope.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'd love to see that because I think that's.
Speaker 3: Because like I'm just looking again, because yeah, you got
the Jedi, then you got this like bounty Hunter, a
sque character that's like long hair, and then you got
whoever your custom characters, and then you're you got like
a clone looking person. Uh, but it's like you have
I don't know, I'm just curious the type. So I'm
actually wrong. You have your custom character, you have a Jedi,
you have a Clone Trooper type of person, you have
like a Mandalorian bounty hunter, and then you have some
lady that has like a tank on her head. But
that just to me would be like another bounty hunter.
So to me like like that was like the sniper.
But I'd have to see. But if you had asked me,
I would obviously kick out the I would never because
Taylor loves his Clone Trooper, so of course not. But
I would want to have the droid on team more
than maybe just another gun character, you know, because again, if.
Speaker 1: You're maybe like hacks into things or like controls like
equipment or something.
Speaker 3: And I'm assuming with your custom character, you can probably
make them a Jedi, right you think or do you
think it's just gonna they don't want it to be
op and they're gonna like just have the one Jedi
on your team, Cause that might make sense. As much
as I'm thinking like, oh I'm gonna make a Jedi,
they might not.
Speaker 2: Want yeah too on that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So for me, like a fun part of the
genre has always been like ooh, going into each map,
it's exciting, like who am I gonna put on my
team this time, whether it is something small like minute sounds,
we only get three, and it's like, Okay, am I
gonna do like people who have good synergy, or am
I just gonna do like a fun low matchup, or
am I gonna make like the weirdest matchup just like
have fun with it? And then something like Fireman's we
get like ten to twelve people on the map, but
it's still fun to like pick and choose, like, Okay.
Speaker 2: I kind of need these three guys.
Speaker 1: I need like at least want support, at least a
couple of tanky people, and that kind of like that
strategy outside of like the actual when you're you know,
turn to turn in the game, that kind of thing.
And so hopefully there's like some of that as well,
even if you have your main crew, like I hope
you are still recruiting people because that's what keeps these
games fresh and new for like a you know, thirty
forty hour playtime, unless it's just a shorter, little twelve
hour romp with your crew, and that's fine too, but Also,
I don't know if I spend eighty bucks for that.
Speaker 3: Rice accordingly, then if it's a twelve.
Speaker 2: Opinion, give me a thirty dollars twelve hour even if
it's well made.
Speaker 3: Okay, I can see that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, and I mean maybe that's like maybe there's
different campaigns or something like that. We're talking about how
you were talking about these leaked characters, Like maybe you know,
like I feel like in the first Open Alliance, couldn't
couldn't you go into like those bonus worlds or something
like that where it's like you would just go into
like a side mission or something like that. So maybe
there's something like that as as well, where you can
just like here's a mission with like known characters and
that's kind of like a fun offshoot, but like they
don't have a full RPG system like built around them,
and it's a little more simple.
Speaker 2: That could be fine too, but I don't know how
you mesh that. Well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's just again, maybe they were leaked. I
swear I've I saw there thought there was a because
even then, well, I don't know. I'm gonna bring up
this image here because this is what's confusing to me
when you're talking about the droids here. If you bring
this up, if you look and your wins, there there.
Speaker 2: Is in the Yeah, I remember this image. I remember this.
Speaker 3: Can I even make this cake away ad?
Speaker 2: I get it, I do see. The droid is definitely
one of the player cards there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Boca Tan that is a person that's in
the Clone Wars. She's a Mandalorian. So maybe they just
mean it's always your squad of four, but you're the
custom character. But because the post and you.
Speaker 2: Have to care.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of like in fire Blom, like you
always have to bring your lord in the mission that
you can like pick your nine or ten characters whatever.
Speaker 3: Like even when you're playing I think almost all story
missions at midnight suns Hunters always there. Right. It's when
you play the free sign it can be like, oh
I don't need Hunter. But when you're playing main story,
so I think, you know what, I think you might
have some luck. I think the Droid's back in play,
and that to me is way more fun than I
like the idea of the squad, Like I was completely
fine that, but if it is gets always you and
then four others and there's a selection of legends and
new characters and droids. That is a lot more tempting
and exciting. So okay, droid cool, back on the menu.
Speaker 2: Back on the menu.
Speaker 1: Wait yeah, I mean I guess I'm trying to cop
hit the math on that. I don't know if it's
like always that four characters on the map or if
it changes at different points too. I feel like for balance,
it's easier to make a game where you have like
a set amount of characters on the board. But we'll
have to wait and see what's going on there. By
the way, when when that when Firemland Path of Radians
comes to GameCube, you should check that out. That should
be your first time checking out a GameCube game. All right, sorry,
not a gamecubing fire on them game.
Speaker 3: Oh, i'd be done. I've never I've never.
Speaker 2: Dipped my That's a really great entry in the series.
Speaker 3: Remind me when it comes to GameCube, and I will
because they'll just sit download away. So I'm looking for
a way in and that could be it.
Speaker 2: So it could be your way in.
Speaker 1: Let's see if this will be your way out. Ghost
of Yotai finally coming out October second. We got a
new trailer mostly story trailer, but there's a little bit
of gameplaying there, and then you know on PlayStation Blog
they had a little bit more info in there as well.
Pretty much the story setup of this game is that
you are playing Atsu, who's this character who you know,
fifteen years sixteen more years prior to the present time.
Her village was killed in like all of her family
and friends, and she was They tried to kill her too,
but then she survived, and so it turns into a
rent story where you are playing as at two and
you're gonna go take out these I think it's like
five or six, maybe even seven people who did this,
and they all kind of have like, oh, this.
Speaker 2: Is the dragon, this is the most killed, is what
it's killed.
Speaker 1: Very similar setup there, and I think that's that's kind
of one of the things they're highlighting here is that
this game is going to be a little bit more
nonlinear than the first Ghost game was in that those
six or seven guys or maybe it'll like slowly unfold,
maybe it'll be like three at first, but you know,
these guys are out on the map somewhere and you
can go tackle them when whatever you order you want,
and I don't know if that's gonna be like a
bit of a Mega Man way where it's like, oh,
when you kill the drag and you get this certain
ability and that's really good at killing the you know,
the lizard or whatever, and like, you know, kind of
strategize out that way. We'll have to wait and see,
but yeah, it seems like it's opening up a bit more,
which is funny to me because obviously this game, you know,
not influenced by Assassine Crete Shadows because of the release
dates of these games. But that's like exactly how Shadows works.
It's like you get set up same situation revenge story here,
like the eight or nine people are part of the
ring that like are responsible for this, and you can
go take them out in whatever order. But then you know,
obviously there's like two or three of them that makes
sense to do first, and then it kind of unfrols
from there. So you know, I'm curious to see, like
I don't you know, obviously there's a million other things
about this game that are interesting, but in terms of
that main premise and the more open style, it's like, well,
you know, maybe Shadows even though the first Ghost eight
Shadows Lunch like maybe their lunch is gonna get eaten
right back.
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I'm curious to see if that
has any effect. But that was the first thing that
to me.
Speaker 1: But yeah, anything else about this or I don't know,
did this there's not a ton of gameplay here, but
did this get you more or less? Are you kind
of same level hype?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 3: I'm a little more from both of those because i'd
heard and now I understood because at first I saw
reports of like, oh, ghosts given me nonlinear and I'm like, oh,
that's interesting, But now I kind of see what it means.
Like the headline I saw was almost like it was
like a pulp fiction wave, like you're gonna play this
story at different points. But then as more came out,
and what you're saying is like, okay, makes sense. But
I don't think that's a bad thing. I think with
Jinn's story, for the most part, it felt like it
was pretty from point A to point B. You could
do a few things differently, but it felt like it
was there. Yeah, I'm I don't know where I am
with this game. I feel like I'm gonna say, oh,
like I I will still I'll likely get it. I
think if it's something or it comes out in October
and I'm very busy, it might be a skip. But
I guess it's just I don't know why. And obviously
it's a weird thing to reference because you had the
feeling after the fact. But I feel like I just
worry this is gonna be like how Miles to Spider
Man was for you, where I just I don't know
if I'm in the mindset of like needing ghost I
thought I was, but it's just like I haven't been like, Oh,
I really need to play Ghosts. I still love that game,
and I don't know if that has something to do
with it. I would love to live in the multiverse
where this game's out, but it is more of Gin's store.
I know they want to do in a different era,
but for me, it's like I don't want PlayStation to
do their Assassin's Creed where hey, every five years, you're
gonna ghost game and it's a new It's like, No,
I really liked Gin and I would like to. I
think there's some stuff that was i'd like fleshed out
even more, and there's nothing but this character I'm disliking,
and I actually This got me more excited for the
a plot because, like I said, it's kill Bill, it's
many revenge de tales, but I like that of character
gets wrong and they go all a list and I
like the idea what you're telling me of it, you know,
being nonlinear. So I think I'll wait till closer to
see how life is. I think I'll still likely say
this because a couple of weeks ago I said, hey,
I don't know, I'm playing Tong King Kong, and I
got that. So that was all mirror. That was a
whole pretty much thousand dollars purchase. This nowhere near that camp.
So if I just hear it's good and you guys
are getting and I'm like, yeah, okay, I'll throw it down,
but I'm still not like like with Death Streating two,
like I'm ready to go. I could play that game
today and be like I can't wait. All it's a
bit different because that's a top ten game for me.
But Ghosts I love, and I just I haven't got
there yet. Maybe I'm hoping there's gonna be a great
PlayStation showcase with just showing new attacks, new this, new that, anything,
even if they confirm like I'd love it if Legends
was confirmed day one. That's something too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if that's to me, that was the selling point
as well, Like that would for right now, I'm still
I'm kind of on the fence like you are. But
if Legends was a day weren't even I guess when
Legends come out comes out, that would be a thing.
And I feel like, to me, that seems like a
perfect place to throw Gin as a playable character and
you get back in there and then people can kind
of relive that hype of like playing him, and you
can even bring back the iconic characters in the first game,
and you know, just say it's like a it's just
a legend, right, kind of like how it was kind
of set up in the first game. Right, it's a
little bit more fantastical, a little bit more crazy, less realistic.
Speaker 3: It's people telling stories and like, oh, there's this guy
named Jin and they throw him in the store like
it just that's how what we when we did our
review way back day of Psycles, Like that's what I
love it. Like, that's why it's called Legends. It's just
made up store. So we don't need to worry about Ken.
Oh does Jin fit this time era, it doesn't matter.
That's one thing I will say too, because a lot
of the masks, like obviously there's masks all over the
Masses trailer remind me of all the very cool masks
and Legends, because yeah, in the Bass game there's cool masks,
but see it fell like in Legends they can save
like the coolest masks. So that's the thing where, no
matter what, at some point, I'm owning this game. So
that's something where if they were to say Legends was
day one, my hype would be through the roof. But
I think I'll still likely get this because I unless
there's a general just kind of feeling about it, it
still looks absolutely gorgeous. It's one of these things that
you just see stuff and I'm hoping that it will
kind of, like I said, win me over once we
get to some more gameplay. Because even then, like going
back in the day, I remember all of us when
that the first game got revealed, we were all like, oh,
this looks beautiful, but how's it gonna play? How is this?
So even with the first Ghost game, I was like,
if you're on it, And as we got closer, I
got excited, so I'm hoping the same is gonna be here,
So I'll say it did help a little bit because
I like that good story, group of bad guys, gotta
take them down, and now you can go whichever, because
I think that'll be fun when we review it or
whoever reviews. But I'm assuming're gonna be on the review
because we'll talk about the past we took to get
to X, Y and Z right, because I don't think
you me and Kirkle. I'm sure there might be some crossover,
but with there being six to seven different bad guys
to take down, I think we'll have different paths we
want to go to. So I think that's very fun,
and I hope, like you were saying, they actually utilize
that and it's not just Kay, you killed, let me
move on, kill me on. It's like, oh, even if
some bosses some area should be harder because oh you
you can still complete this, but it would have been
easier if you beat Boss too before you got to
Boss six, you know, or vice versa, or maybe there's
one area that's just like you completely just destroy because
you go you have almost everything. And we kind of
thought this was gonna be a lower tier level and
you're just going through. So yeah, I'm that's again more
curious on stuff maybe shown up down one because I
know we're gonna get Yeah, whether it's a showcase or
State of play, there's gonna be a whole thing dedicated
to that, and I'll be watching that with a keen interest.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, like I've you know, kind of been
in my bit of a PlayStation sequel itis recently, where
like Horizon sequel, like I didn't really do it for me.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I forgot that for us. That's another one
where I was like I've been through this before of
loving at first game then.
Speaker 1: And not having miles, but then I think most damningly
like that happened to me with the Ghost of the
Shima DLC, Like like, uh right, the Legends was great,
but Ikey Island, Oh this just didn't have the sauce.
I don't I don't even know if I needed to
play this. I don't have a single memory from that
DLC at this point. It just like didn't move the
needle at all for me.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think the Legends part of it, but I think
I what I'm excited for is this marketing campaign to
like put it into second gear here, because so far
we've had like that first trailer which pretty much just
confirmed that like we weren't playing this gin and like
it showed off like a gun, which wasn't even really
shown in this trailer anymore, which I felt like I
felt like they maybe pulled back on that, yeah.
Speaker 3: Because I feel like there was a lot of people
that's like, eh, no, my Ghost is Tsushima and that
I think they're like, Okay, a.
Speaker 1: Pretty major change because I feel like that would be
pretty implemented mechanics, but I don't know, maybe from a weapon, but.
Speaker 3: No, I think it's the game. I think the showing
it off is what I mean as far as like, hey,
people didn't like that even if it isn't the game,
A lot just don't put it too much in the
previous and what they could do is wait till the
showcase to actually.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look good, make it look amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think a lot of people were because that's
not what I played Ghost of Sushima for. I don't
want any guns like Kirk and is like, I just
that's not that's not a fulfillment I have. There's so
many games with guns. It's like, I don't that's not
something that guess what these n just gonna do now?
Games of swords, Yeah, yeah, no, there is, there is
a lot, but I said the games I played, maybe
it's called too but like even that, yeah, I'm playing
Call Duty. The last game play was Alan Wake Indiana Jones,
which was whipping gun outlaws, like all these are gun
gun guys uses unh yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, I'm curious to see what because as
you mentioned, like I remember that happened for Ghosts, we're
all still on the edge even until like yeah, a
month or two before it came out, and then they
did like that fifteen minute deep dive and we were
like hell yeah, I bought that game, picked it up
and and loved it. So I'm sure that that'll be
the case. Here at show off some of the new
stuff in terms of the new mechanics. They showed off
here like at one point as he was using like
a spear, also had like this kind of almost like
krados like chain combo act sing, which seems really fun.
So those because I think you only ever used swords
and bows in the first game, right, and your darts
and your darts like there, I don't know, there's never
like a spear, right, even in like legends, I don't
think that I can't remember.
Speaker 3: What that that has a technical name, that chain ball thing,
and like I can't, yeah, but what it is. But
that's so when I saw I was like, Okay, that's cool.
Speaker 1: On top of guns, like other things as well, they
show up another thing which I don't know if I
care too much about, but like they showed like, oh
you can uh, you know, you can visit what your
mind was like fifteen years ago when these events happened.
You're like a click a button and then you like
turn into kid version of it. And then like I guess,
I don't know if the environment looks the same or
maybe a little bit different, And then like I guess
that I'm presuming it's only for like certain areas where
you have a memory of this place, like oh, I
you know, I used to come here with my grandfather, Yeah,
and we come hang out in the hot springs and
he tell me tales you know, would be that kind
of thing to be.
Speaker 2: Exactly.
Speaker 1: So you know, I don't care about that, Like I
don't I don't need that in the game. But I'm
sure it'll be good for story reasons, but like as
a mechanic, it doesn't excite me that much. The one
that they'd mentioned, I don't think it's in the trailer.
I think it's just on the blog post. Is they
mentioned you can like build a camp at some point,
So I don't know if that's like any point in
the open world you can like set up a camp
and like I because a lot of games have been
doing this lately, like boulders Gate are avowed, but it's like,
rather than it being a thing that you just owe
anywhere I want, I can set up like a little
camp and get going there. It's like, okay, if you're
in this area of the map, it'll set up the
camp in this one specific place and it always kind
of looks the same, and you like talk to your
people there, to your upgrades and stuff. So I don't
know if it's something that's a little more integrated into
the beautiful world and that could be fun of like
finding a cool place to like set up camp. I
don't know if that means you're gonna have people like
with you, because at one point they.
Speaker 2: Do show like you and like four or five people
like sieging into a camp.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if there's a bit like obviously
there were points like that in the first game where
you had like you know, people were multiple people seizing
a certain base, but it was never like a co op,
single player kind of experience like that, right, So I
don't know if that's the thing where you're building out
a team and you have people there.
Speaker 3: With a way to illegally rip off the the what
is that system from Shadow Mortar?
Speaker 2: What is that when we always talk about the Nemesis.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe there's a way they legally found a way
to rip it off and change just X, Y and Z,
and you can maybe people I doubt it, but you know,
we can hope. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, well that was the thing with the Wonder Woman, right,
it was you were and recruit allies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like, well this is this is the friendly system,
you know, and friendly. I just hope that there's camp building.
That's not a big thing because we talked about, you know,
back to Bethesda, like in Fallout or something like in Starfield.
Never mind Cup of Tea. I like, I like specific
games for that. I don't want to in my game,
so as all, if it's.
Speaker 1: I literally just want to climb to the top of
a beautiful hill and put a tent down in a campfire.
Speaker 2: Like that's what I want.
Speaker 1: I don't want to build a huge base on a
grid or anything. I literally just want like to like
have a backpack and I can like unfold it and
like at the end of a cool day, I put
it down there and like chill for a bit, just
because again it's so beautiful.
Speaker 2: I just want to breathe in the vibes sometimes and.
Speaker 3: That's exactly what I know what I love. But that
like that's what happens. Red Dead. You just have your horse,
you throw down those fire, your tent, that's where there
you go.
Speaker 2: I just want that copy Red Dead.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe like one of those wheel that's sharpened nives,
Like sure, give me that. Like I don't know what
those things are called either, but I'll take a weapon sharpener.
But nice, simple, simple, stupid or same thing. Like even
if you want to do like a mechanic like breath
of the while with some cooking, sure, but like I
don't I don't need to be like there's the bathroom
over there and there's like no, no, no, just it's
too much, too much.
Speaker 1: So Yeah, and you know, funny enough, once again, Assassae
cry Shadows had like a full base building thing in
it where you can actually get get you gather resources
are at the game. You're putting down buildings and ranging
them in certain ways in like a roller coaster tycoon
sort of way. So once again a couple of things
there that, like, you know, it makes sense Shadows could
look at what ghostu Shima did and take some of
those lessons and like add new things on top of it.
And obviously Yotai's not getting the opportunity because of the
release dates of these things. I mean maybe in small
ways or something like that. So I'm curious to see
how that goes.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It sounds like we're both still on the fence, but
I don't know. I feel like I could very easily
be I'm ready to fall off that fence like humpty
dumping on the wall, like I'm ready to go.
Speaker 2: I'm ready to break that egg. So just needs a
couple a couple of pushes.
Speaker 3: Because right now, I don't think there's anything really else
in October. I know there will be, of course, right I'm.
Speaker 2: Just yeah, I think there's just a lot of things.
Speaker 1: We just like GTA Metric Prime, like, we just don't
know a lot of release dates at this point. I
feel like the fall is really when I was looking
at like a calendar recently, there's just there isn't those
release dates yet.
Speaker 2: I think the summer game FESH will give us those things.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, well, because like that's I can't remember who
came from, but it came from a repidial source that
legimlely companies are holding back because the GTA they legitimate.
They don't want to be near the window. And that's
where I ask you in the discord, you're the one
that has it. Do you feel good about that day?
Because October, you know, still early enough that good spot,
but still close enough where like one delay and that
possibly that's a twenty twenty six game. I just feel
like I wonder if insiders they get wind of, like, hey,
GTA is coming out soon, if Sony goes, you know what,
let's let's not even whisk and let's just put this
in the spring of next year, polished off, like I
think it's gonna come out, but I still think.
Speaker 2: It's no you want to come out before GTA though, yes,
but you.
Speaker 3: Could also appeal being like, I'm gonna save my money
for probably one hundred dollars game right Everyone's like most
insiders are predicting that GT is gonna be legitim one
hundred dollars, which means like one hundred, twenty hundred and
thirty for us. So I could see a lot of
people that if they're like us, that are humpty dumpty
and they know, hey, in a month November, I gotta
spend one hundred dollars plus on Grand Theft Auto. I'm
not gonna buy this game right now.
Speaker 2: Because of X, Y and Z.
Speaker 1: That's the like, if if Legends is incorporated, I could
see them being like, okay, would GTA online and whatever
that update looks like for GJ six, I feel like
maybe they want to get you know, get people playing
that before GJ six. If you try and release that after,
maybe just tanks. So yeah, it's it's tricky no matter what,
but I I think it may. I think they ex
I think Sony rather kind of needs to because like
they don't we to what we know right now, they
don't have anything else.
Speaker 3: Remember though, it's like the consoles still just sell. Like
remember I had two years of no games really that
are exclusive, like no Spider Man.
Speaker 2: I don't know that's true though.
Speaker 1: I think when you look back, like there was there
was still Like even last year was like, oh nothing
came up, but like still had Final Fantasy seven to
it had Astro Bought, which went one Game of the Year,
had like you know, smaller things like Stellar Blade, Rise
of the Ronan and the other things I'm forgetting, but
like you know, I had the Game of the Year
winner just ran like still there.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: It's all like a really great release calendar games. It
just didn't have like a Naughty Dog game or like
a Sony Santa Monica game. But I feel like they
still do need to to be putting things out there.
Speaker 3: I think they do, but I yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think for me it's there people maybe who don't
have A five yet who would like get it for Ghosts.
I feel like there are those fans for this series.
Speaker 3: Then there's definitely some yeah, for sure. I just I
just feel like for me, my brain broke when it
was the first two years of nothing but like PS
four PS five crossover games and that things still sold
like hell hotcakes. I think it will help, but I
don't think it. I here's the thing. I don't think
they will risk putting the game out if they feel
like uneasy about it. I think they'll go, you know,
we'll eat the summer because they might even have that
idea of like gta's out, and also because they're gonna
making money off GTA two. Don't get us wrong, right,
Like they're gonna like make like just money that way,
and they might just feel that a SWITCH is gonna
have the fall season right now winter, so we'll see.
I'm a sixty five for a staying on that date.
I think if a GTA happens, I do think they
will move just for the fact of just to have
a wider window of success because gt is gonna be
a big black but she take it also not good.
Speaker 1: You know, if GJ comes out November, like I'll say,
anytime after October, I think they'll keep keep the date.
So I'll stay more than ninety because I do think
GJ would be a November eleventh ish release, like that
early November slot. Yeah, uh yeah, so all yeah, I'll
be a little more confident that it's gonna in fact
come out, so uh yeah, any other thoughts on this
on this ghosts here for.
Speaker 3: The day, No, just waiting. Obviously we probably won't get
that stay to play for a while because I'm sure
def Stranding two is next and that this is if
it stakes the day October, so maybe there's even Summer
Games Fest. So I'll be interested to see once we
get more. And like I said, my wish prediction is
probably won't happen, but I would love them to have
Legends day one. That would be fantastic. If I'm ready
to jump back in, I'm ready to go on some
missions to see what new they could do. I will
be actively I don't think they would not do it,
but I would be actively disappointed if that is not
a thing in this game. I know it's a lot
to ask because they never said it was again thing
in the first one. They just kind of I won't
say shadow dropped it, but in a way of like, hey,
we're working on this thing. Yeah, So to me, if
they that's what I want someone to ask, and if
it comes out of oppressor like oh yeah, we just
didn't feel like doing it this time or for whatever reason,
I will be you know, that's something I could be
like Okay, maybe I won't bite it now if I'm
uneasy on the game and there's no Legends, because Legends,
for me, is a game even even if I didn't
even touch the ghost story, which I will, but Legends alone,
you didn't me have said this. They could sell that
as a separate game, and I would buy that because
that was tons of fun. So uh, I hope that
we just got confirmation on that before the next you know,
a few months.
Speaker 2: That's what i'd like, So yeah, me as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you for joining me. This is a super
fun episode. Next week, I think I'll be back with
Kirkland Patzer to catch up with him on all sorts
of video game stuff.
Speaker 2: So thank you.
