And I realized the 170 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:32.360 ones that went bad were the ones that were individual, 171 00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:33.399 not on. 172 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.639 The thing, off the vine.

And then I thought, Oh, that's 177 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.120 probably vine. That's probably what grapevine is. Because I've heard 178 00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:49.440 the word grape vine.

It just looks 368 00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:27.119 like it's a ton of fun to play because it 369 00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:30.240 kind of has some Odyssey vibes with just the set. 370 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:31.119 Of moves you acts. 371 00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:32.359 You have like the dive. 372 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:35.279 You can even like grab onto walls, you can do 373 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:37.559 wall running, so it's just like a lot of things 374 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:38.039 you can do. 375 00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:39.119 So you kind of have. 376 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:42.759 That three D platforming jazz that I like a lot, 377 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:45.160 where you can kind of just figure out your own 378 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:46.640 ways to get to places. 379 00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:48.640 You got some chameleon twist in there too.

I wanted to enjoy Pennies Big Breakaway more, 393 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:20.640 but nothing was quiet Time papped into that feeling that 394 00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:22.279 that spoon Heaven moment. 395 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:26.759 Just spoony tuned. Uh yeah, I think that that That's 396 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:29.480 exactly right. God, it's so secuting twist, Dan, I was 397 00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:31.119 that was like one of my favorite rental games. 398 00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:33.359 Yeah, that is the rental game. Yeah, no one ever 399 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:34.400 bought that game once. 400 00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:37.240 No, some people were rented it that they made a 401 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:39.319 sequel and we rented that tip. 402 00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:42.279 Yes, yes, games. 403 00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:45.200 Yeah, I think the GBA is one of my favorite 404 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:47.720 consoles or handhelds of all time because there were so 405 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:52.319 many different two D platform platformers that like would just 406 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:53.119 going for it. 407 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:53.440 Y'all. 408 00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:57.640 Remember Blender Brothers. No, no, God, maybe this is because 409 00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:03.240 I'm a youth. I remember snow Brother Hell yeah brother. Yeah, 410 00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:05.240 Blunder Brothers was one of those like, hey, let's just 411 00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:07.240 take an animal with big ears and make them hop 412 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:07.960 and bop around. 413 00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:09.200 Weird. 414 00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:14.759 Yeah, God, GBA great. I just wanted, okay, and never 415 00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:17.079 bring down a console when we go to these trips, 416 00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:19.279 but I might just load up the analog with a 417 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:20.359 bunch of GBA stuff. 418 00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:23.400 That's a good system for that. Yes, it was very good. 419 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:26.839 Uh, let's hop on to the next game. 420 00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:27.680 Mike Manatti. 421 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:29.680 You streamed quite a lot of this last night on 422 00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:33.279 your own. Claire Obscure Expedition thirty three. 423 00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:36.240 Did a lot of that just the last few days, 424 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:40.240 basically kind of the last third of the game, and 425 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:43.839 I beat it last night the video game. Yes, I 426 00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:47.880 finished Claire Obscure. I wanted to make sure I did 427 00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:49.640 that kind of before SGF. 428 00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:50.920 You know. 429 00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:53.359 Also, it was the game I wanted to keep playing anyways, 430 00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:55.960 Like on Sunday alone, I think I played slash streamed 431 00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:57.880 it for eight hours straight. It's just, oh my god, 432 00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:01.960 difficult game for me to once I'm into it because 433 00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:04.079 it's just a ton of fun and there is a 434 00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:06.559 lot of optional stuff you can do right before the 435 00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:08.359 end of the game, and I was having a good 436 00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.519 time doing it. My My biggest complaint with the game 437 00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.920 in general is some kind of weird pacing, pacing or 438 00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:18.720 balance stuff. I suppose balance is the better way putting 439 00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:20.880 it like an act too, So there's three acts in 440 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:23.559 Act two. At one point I went and did a 441 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:26.200 side dungeon halfway through it, and that was fun. It 442 00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:28.720 was kind of this challenging side dungeon, but I got 443 00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:31.640 so powerful from doing that one side dungeon that the 444 00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:34.599 rest of Act two kind of became this breeze. And 445 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:36.960 then like, I don't want to get spoilers, but like 446 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.400 Act three, I won't, I won't, But like Act three, 447 00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:41.000 like it it opens up this way where you can 448 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:44.000 do a lot of optional content, you know, necessarily, like 449 00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:46.119 you know it's optional, but you can like, oh, there's 450 00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:47.839 all these places I can go to now, And I 451 00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:50.440 was having fun doing that, but I kind of did 452 00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:53.440 so much of it that the final boss was practically 453 00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:56.039 a one shot for me, and just like you know, 454 00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:57.640 like that almost son was cool, like wow, I once 455 00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:00.440 shot the boss with like, oh, like the drama. Everything's 456 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:01.920 like I kind of wanted this to feel like a 457 00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:05.440 real fight. And there's so much optional stuff that is 458 00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:08.160 much more challenging that and I'm glad that's there, but 459 00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:12.920 I like having that post game optional extra challenging stuff. 460 00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:15.000 I still feel like the final boss of a video 461 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:17.720 game should be like in the top five. 462 00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:18.559 Of the hardest bosses. 463 00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:21.839 And again, like there's like a big golf between what 464 00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:23.720 I was able to do this final boss is some 465 00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:26.680 of the like optional stuff I was coming across or 466 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:28.799 the same hit that one shot the final boss was 467 00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:30.960 like a tickle to them, So like that just. 468 00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:31.480 Seems a lilocer. 469 00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:34.319 Now you know, all of that aside, And my one 470 00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:36.799 tip is when you get to that part of the 471 00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:38.640 game where you can do a lot of optional stuff, 472 00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:41.160 maybe just go beat the game and then you can 473 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:43.200 do that stuff, because I don't think it was super 474 00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:45.039 fun to be insanely overpowered for that. 475 00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:47.720 Maybe maybe for you you'll enjoy that. Yeah, I'm on 476 00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:49.720 the other side of the fence with that, Mike, because like, 477 00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:53.079 I find myself spending way too much time in jerrpgs 478 00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:56.920 grinding up to be overpowered. That I kind of like 479 00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:59.759 that it was an easier on ramped for that rather 480 00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:03.920 than spending like too many hours exploring the optional stuff 481 00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:08.119 because I generally just won't revisit in rpg specifically after 482 00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:10.519 I finish it, and it kind of helped with the 483 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:16.079 pacing that also, God, Mike, real quick, how many hours 484 00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:19.880 did you clock in after you beat the game? About forty? 485 00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:24.119 Right about forty hours, which is like, no, oh god, no, 486 00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:26.200 that's for one of those that's so nice. 487 00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:29.759 That's yeah, well yeah, we'll unpack my shit in a 488 00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:30.279 minute least. 489 00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:30.880 Yeah. 490 00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:33.480 But I mean, I'm like gesstatic to have one of 491 00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:36.799 these games that was more like forty hours. I don't mind, 492 00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:40.839 like I don't mind eighty one hundred hour long RPGs. 493 00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:41.400 I get it. 494 00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:43.480 I'm shocked that it's become the default. 495 00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:45.200 Oh yeah. 496 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:47.400 Honestly, my thought when you said forty was like, oh, okay, 497 00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:49.720 because I had already been curious to check this game out, 498 00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:52.319 and you're saying forty made me more like, Okay, maybe 499 00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:53.480 I could find time at some point and. 500 00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:55.359 I bet if I bet if you mainline it, which 501 00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:58.559 I almost in some ways recommend it, it's more like thirty. 502 00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:01.079 So okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 503 00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:03.799 So that part of the place the story is game 504 00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:06.640 is very good, and that's not normally the thing that, 505 00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:09.319 like I will spend a lot of time praising. I 506 00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:13.319 think that this story always remained interesting. It has a 507 00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:17.680 twists that feel earned. Even though like the stuff happening 508 00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:20.359 is often maybe like supernatural and weird, there's still a 509 00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:22.240 logic to it and it kind of makes sense. It 510 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:28.920 doesn't over explain itself. It is primarily character and emotion driven. 511 00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:32.400 It doesn't really go for a lot of cheap moments 512 00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:35.160 that I think can often happen with these kind of games, 513 00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:37.000 especially today. You know, it's not like a lot of 514 00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:40.720 shock value kind of like let you to see that, right. 515 00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:46.200 Everything feels very earned. Everything feels very mature and adult 516 00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:48.720 like in a very kind of I don't know, like 517 00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:51.720 I just I feel like I don't want to say, oh, 518 00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:52.119 this is a. 519 00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:54.039 Real story kind of a thing. 520 00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:56.559 But you know, we do see a lot of video 521 00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:59.319 games there where like the story is kind of just, 522 00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:02.160 you know, go rescue this person, or this person killed 523 00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:04.880 your friend. Now go kill this person, and that's sort 524 00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:07.440 of the end of it. There's so much more going 525 00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:10.240 on here. I have so many thoughts as just being 526 00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:12.599 this name. We should we should do a spoiler cast, 527 00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:14.279 we should jan have you beaten? 528 00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:16.680 I mean, I'm act three, so I'm okay. 529 00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:20.599 So I was I was gonna specifically ask you, because yes, 530 00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:23.599 after SGF, I want to put to and once you 531 00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:26.079 finish the game, I want to put together spoiler cast 532 00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:29.480 because I think, uh, there's so much to unpack and 533 00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:32.720 to talk about, you know, like a lot of mechanics 534 00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:34.599 in the game itself and that stuff we've talked about. 535 00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:37.680 It still is so good, the way the battles work, 536 00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:40.400 how it does sort of depend on these dodges and 537 00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:43.519 parrying and kind of building up your party in this 538 00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:46.759 really smart way with the picto's and the arts and 539 00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:49.680 all this other stuff that you get. So gosh, it's 540 00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:51.680 just one of these games that I think I'm going 541 00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:56.400 to be thinking about for an incredibly long time. God, 542 00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.039 the music, the music is so good, and there's so 543 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:02.359 much of it. It's like every fight I feel like 544 00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:04.839 it's a new track somehow, But how are they making 545 00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:05.799 so much music? 546 00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:07.079 There's music? 547 00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:11.200 Oh so I was. I'm just stunned by what they 548 00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:13.440 were able to accomplish here accordions. 549 00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:16.279 Turns out accordians slept on instrument. 550 00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:19.640 Yeah some twelve monkeys. Shit here, Well. 551 00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:23.359 He's a savant Backler. Please unpack your ship. 552 00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:26.920 I know everyone's thinking to themselves. They're driving in their car, 553 00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:30.039 they're commuting to work. They're like, fucking Backlar's playing Exhibition 554 00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:33.599 thirty three. Like this is not a Backlar video game, right, 555 00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:34.720 that's what you're all thinking. 556 00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:37.839 Yeah, I'm not driving, but yes everything else you're never driving. 557 00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:40.079 But certainly we we know, right, Like this is not 558 00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:42.920 my shit, right, Like what business do I have playing 559 00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:44.319 one of these? 560 00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:45.039 Right? Like? 561 00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:48.319 Pretty looking games? Is a pretty looking game. 562 00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:50.680 It's pretty as hell. 563 00:26:50.119 --> 00:26:50.240 Uh. 564 00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:52.799 I'm trying to think of like the last game that 565 00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:58.079 would even be tangentially associated in the same genre, right, 566 00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:03.200 Like what I don't even know, right paper Mario, Yeah, 567 00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:05.359 it kind of right, that is, like with the turn 568 00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:08.160 based sort of stuff and the parrying and timing and 569 00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:11.759 on that. You know, I don't claim to understand this game. 570 00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:14.680 I don't claim to like really also understand what I'm 571 00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:18.599 doing in it where I've I'm kind of just like 572 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:20.960 I'm kind of just doing it and I'm progressing and 573 00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:24.319 I'm playing, and I'm doing stuff. Am I hyper focused 574 00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:28.559 on Like all the pictose and all of the lumina 575 00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:31.759 and the points and the flasks and all that stuff. 576 00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:34.920 I'm just I'm trying to make sense of all that 577 00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:39.400 and it's slowly but surely happening. I'm also like a 578 00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:41.559 lot of that is overshadowed just by like the sheer 579 00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:45.359 wonder that is that that comes out of me when 580 00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:51.240 I see these these creatures, these insane freaks that I 581 00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:54.279 meant to battle, and I am won over by the 582 00:27:54.319 --> 00:27:58.640 creativity and the design of these beasts that I just 583 00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:02.440 kind of don't care. I'm just like I'm fighting. I'm 584 00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:05.440 fighting a wagon. Find a wagon that's all four on 585 00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:07.960 its two things. I'm just trying to like do that 586 00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:10.599 and find and I guess this wagon's got weak shoulders, 587 00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:13.400 It's got weak's shoulder points and I'm gonna shoot that, 588 00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:16.119 you know. I understand, like obviously, like the action points 589 00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:18.519 right like or whatever, those are the ap things I understand, 590 00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:21.279 Like the basic sort of machinations of like of like, 591 00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:23.920 oh you you spend this, you know, I think the 592 00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:27.160 rock paper scissoring of like the ground, ice and fire 593 00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:30.200 stuff is just not It's I'm just you know, again, 594 00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:33.160 as someone who is not hyper fluent in this kind 595 00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:36.599 of style of games, it's it's not I haven't connected 596 00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:38.920 all those dots yet. I also have, you know, I've connected. 597 00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:41.480 There's just like a lot of you know, I understand, 598 00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:43.720 like with the pictos, and then there's like another level 599 00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:47.000 below those pictose of like and I understand everything as 600 00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:49.720 a level. I get all that. I've played a video 601 00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:51.960 game before. This isn't my first one, but it is 602 00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:53.680 the first one in a while where I'm like j 603 00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:59.119 rpging in a way that is just not my thing, 604 00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.160 but I love it. It's the thing I want to 605 00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:08.359 play constantly. I've just started to really scrape the surface 606 00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:10.839 of like the map and the overworld stuff. I think 607 00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:13.400 that's really interesting. I've never seen that before, where like 608 00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:17.079 you kind of have this like intermediary layer where like 609 00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:19.119 you're not on the ground, you're not in the map, 610 00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:23.240 but you're sort of like traversing land in the overworld thing. 611 00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:25.839 I think that is really interesting. I really dig that 612 00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:31.160 the story stuff. For me, where I'm at at about 613 00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:34.400 six seven hours now is like, you know, I find 614 00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:39.160 that interesting. I like the table setting that has been done. 615 00:29:39.640 --> 00:29:42.519 I think that's very unique. It is something very different, 616 00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:45.119 I'll say, right, and I think that goes a long way. 617 00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:48.079 But yeah, you know, I guess a part of me 618 00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:49.759 used to be like, oh fuck, am I playing this 619 00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:51.720 game wrong? You know, and I would have like harped 620 00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:53.799 on that for a while. But I don't think that's 621 00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:56.400 possible in thirty three here. I think you just kind 622 00:29:56.440 --> 00:29:58.240 of have to do it, especially if you're like me 623 00:29:58.759 --> 00:30:02.279 and you're like, well, I'm only going to really digest 624 00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:05.160 around sixty five to seventy percent of what I'm being 625 00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:07.720 told here, and I'm just gonna kind of keep going. 626 00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:09.799 I'm assuming I'm going to hit a wall at some point, 627 00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:11.759 maybe where I've like not specked out my team the 628 00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:15.079 right way or or an effective way, and maybe I'll 629 00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:17.480 need to like lower difficulty at some point. But right 630 00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:19.640 now I'm loving what I'm doing there. It is a 631 00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:21.400 pretty ass game. 632 00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:23.920 It's pretty I think what's great is, you know, I 633 00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:25.720 don't know if you will hit a wall because part 634 00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:27.799 of the reason why the game's overpowered is the game 635 00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:31.119 can be pretty generous with the amount of experience points 636 00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:34.279 you get, and there's multiple things you can be good 637 00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:36.400 at to help you at least beat the game. So 638 00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:38.720 maybe you're really good at kind of making a build 639 00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:41.319 with the pictos things like that. Maybe you're just very 640 00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:43.200 good at parrying and dodging. 641 00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:45.680 I mean, you've never I'm a good gamer. 642 00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:49.960 No one's pointing the finger at me, being like, oh, 643 00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:53.039 look at this guy. But yeah, no, I think you're right. 644 00:30:53.079 --> 00:30:56.160 I think I'm like I think just by doing the 645 00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:58.960 thing and awarding points and just making sure that I'm 646 00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:01.799 spinning all those plays, right, I do think like you 647 00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:05.480 can get to a place where like you've ignored a 648 00:31:05.599 --> 00:31:08.480 major component, like I was kind of ignoring the loomia 649 00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:11.640 stuff for a while, or lumina stuff where I was like, oh, 650 00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:14.400 I didn't realize these blue numbers need to be thrown 651 00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:18.160 into the pictose stuff, right, Like that's a whole other, 652 00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:21.559 a second or third layer below the surface where I 653 00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:23.480 was like, you know, a part of me is also 654 00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:25.599 like why do I need to curve about this? But 655 00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:29.680 you know it's it's I think I think for me, 656 00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:34.200 like seeing the net positive of all those under the 657 00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:36.880 hood machinations. I you know, I don't know if I've 658 00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:39.880 like really understood the gravity of those decisions and those 659 00:31:39.920 --> 00:31:42.599 point awardings and whatnot, but I'll get there, and I 660 00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:44.480 think I'm learning a lot as I play it, too, 661 00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:50.359 which has been uh uh definitely, you know, satisfying, you know, 662 00:31:50.519 --> 00:31:52.039 satisfying to kind of see happen. 663 00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:53.960 So, yeah, you mentioned like just the way the characters 664 00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:56.240 look and everything, and you know, this isn't typically my genre, 665 00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:57.599 but I can't tell you how many times I've like 666 00:31:57.680 --> 00:31:59.920 walked through the living room and seen Bianca playing it 667 00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:01.400 and just be like, what's going on with that? 668 00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:01.759 Dude? 669 00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:02.559 What's this? 670 00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:04.240 Like a weird little mini game? What's goes? This? A 671 00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:06.240 platforming mini games? It's like a weird little. 672 00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:08.079 Yeah, there's like a one rebouncing back and forth, like 673 00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:09.880 look like a like you're on a raft and stuff 674 00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:11.559 like that. This is a this seems like a weird 675 00:32:11.599 --> 00:32:16.160 game in a way that I appreciated. Yeah, everything I 676 00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:18.400 hear about the combat and everything, it's like, okay, that is. 677 00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:20.440 The times I've been able to get into RPGs have 678 00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:24.079 been paper Mario Mario Luigi. That action based stuff during 679 00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:25.920 the fights, and it's like I've been intrigued every time 680 00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:27.240 I've walked through the living room. 681 00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:29.920 So it's got to think of my dress style. 682 00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:34.880 Man, is just it's got the g Yeah, it's pretty swaggy. 683 00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:37.079 It's like it's dripping in swag goo. 684 00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:39.119 Yeah. 685 00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:44.279 I think this game further proves my personal feeling of 686 00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:47.720 I think I am. I think I'm done with high 687 00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:50.400 schoolers and a JRPG. I think I just want grown 688 00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:51.079 ass adults. 689 00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:53.000 And I know maybe that's part of why I wasn't 690 00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:54.599 immediately turned off too. It's like these just seem like 691 00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:55.559 adults on a quest. 692 00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:59.240 Yeah, and like you know, there's the rumors of the 693 00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:01.759 PERSONA four you make and I'm totally gonna play that. 694 00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:04.599 PERSONA six is gonna come out and I'm totally gonna 695 00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:09.079 play that. But like, I think I have been able 696 00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:12.039 to kind of like attach myself to these characters more, 697 00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:14.960 maybe because they are adults and there's like one party 698 00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:20.920 member that's like almost an adult and in a different 699 00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:24.000 way than like I don't metaphor the ages of everyone 700 00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:26.960 was like up and down, but like, dang, with like 701 00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:29.519 these people, I feel their pain and maybe it's also 702 00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:31.680 because I am thirty three right now that I'm. 703 00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:34.279 Like, I could die right now. I mean I could. 704 00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:36.759 I think that all the time, but like specifically with 705 00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:41.960 this game. Also, my one gripe is that I just 706 00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:45.480 wish the main dude didn't look like Robert Pattinson Maybes. 707 00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:50.119 Yeah, oh, Gustave, Yeah, yeah, he's got He's got that 708 00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:54.799 generic ass like flowy hair guy look going on. 709 00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:57.279 Like I wish I could do that hair, but my 710 00:33:57.359 --> 00:33:58.720 head is the wrong shape for it. 711 00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:00.960 Yeah, yeah, I wish I could do it. 712 00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:07.200 Air brother, I'm preaching in the choir here, friend, I 713 00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:10.480 think you know with the story. You know, obviously this 714 00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:12.719 game starts out a certain way, and then about an 715 00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:16.000 hour later you're like, well, okay, we are off the reservation, folks. 716 00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:21.159 We are in you know, bizarro world. The beach scene, right, 717 00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:24.400 I'm not going to get further into it, like is 718 00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:27.960 so intense and crazy. And the fact that that, like 719 00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:31.400 when you start playing everything is like way calmer. I 720 00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:36.199 found a bit jarring, Like I don't understand why that 721 00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:42.159 front loaded scene. Obviously I I absorbed the impact of 722 00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:45.519 what that was, but that also made me believe that 723 00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:47.639 like this whole thing was going to be like that, 724 00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:50.280 where like we are constantly on the edge of death 725 00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:52.320 at any given moment, and then things kind of get 726 00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:54.880 like real pretty and I'm like, oh, all right, well 727 00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:58.039 this is a pretty ass games. So I don't know, 728 00:34:58.119 --> 00:35:00.639 I found that to be a bit jarring, but you know, 729 00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:01.599 still like it. 730 00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:02.760 Of course, he. 731 00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:03.599 Has a little bit of that. 732 00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:06.519 A lot of games I seem to struggle with that juxtaposition, 733 00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:08.320 and you know, like there are those silly elements in 734 00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:10.119 the game, and I like that breaking it up. Yeah 735 00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:12.360 it's not there's say it's like everything is horrible and bad, 736 00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:16.559 We're all gonna die. Now, look at this goober. Yeah, 737 00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:18.840 let's laugh a little bit, yea, and by tennis with him. 738 00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:22.079 Yeah weird. That stuff was weird. Hey. 739 00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:24.199 I also wish this game ran better on a Steam deck. 740 00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:28.679 If it did, I think I would have completed it 741 00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:33.800 like weeks ago. All right, you know, mister Backlar, I 742 00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:36.360 think I got another game that may be up your alley. 743 00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:42.320 I've been checking out Lush Foil Photography. Sim I'm not 744 00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:45.079 one for a lot of these sims. I'm sorry for 745 00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:48.760 our truck and train enthusiasts out there. This is one 746 00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:51.079 of those games where you just walk. It's like a 747 00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:53.840 Pokemon Snap if you took out all the Pokemon and 748 00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:57.800 the rails, so it's just a photography game. Finally, you 749 00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:00.519 go to different locality, explore around for a bit, and 750 00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:03.840 it's just just real nice, nice to zen out, snap 751 00:36:03.920 --> 00:36:07.280 some picks. You know, you can get all the manual 752 00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:10.800 controls that you would want, adjust your ISO, your exposure, 753 00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:16.639 depth of field, you're boke and all that jazz. You 754 00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:19.280 also get a little drone so if you are you 755 00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:23.000 want to get a specific angle and snap a specific pick, 756 00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:25.760 that way, you can go ahead and do that. There's 757 00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:29.480 a small couple discoverable things to get to other places 758 00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:33.760 in the map, but it's really calm, gentle game to 759 00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:36.159 just zone out in and just take some picks. Also, 760 00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:41.079 like I don't think this is hyperbole, but I was 761 00:36:41.079 --> 00:36:43.719 gonna say, I don't think I'll ever see those those 762 00:36:43.719 --> 00:36:45.039 shrine gates in Japan. 763 00:36:46.239 --> 00:36:49.199 You don't think so? Well, I probably would, but because 764 00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:52.280 of tourism, they're going to be super packed. 765 00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:57.000 So it's kind of nice to just experience it in 766 00:36:57.079 --> 00:36:59.320 a in an empty way where I can take my time, 767 00:36:59.639 --> 00:37:02.320 I could take the photos. There was a game that 768 00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:05.280 came out a couple of years ago. It was made 769 00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:08.280 by like a DP. There was also a sim like 770 00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:14.960 this where you could simulate it kind of like a 771 00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:17.679 plan out like a shoot, where you could put in 772 00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:21.679 specific lights, like I need an astro one by one 773 00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:23.400 and I'm gonna put it here, and then I'm gonna 774 00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:25.599 see where like the spread is, and then you can 775 00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:27.840 kind of plan out where your camera shots would be. 776 00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:30.639 I forget the name of the game. Of anyone remembers it, 777 00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:34.320 please drop it in chat. But like, I wouldn't mind 778 00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:37.800 more games like this, you know, kinda it doesn't have 779 00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:40.719 to be full like Steam Maker type of things, but 780 00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:42.440 just like, oh, I kind of want to recreate a 781 00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:46.159 shot or maybe plan out a visit somewhere, Like I 782 00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:49.800 do enjoy the aspects of the modern Assassin's Creed games 783 00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:53.320 where you kind of can play tourists somewhere and that 784 00:37:53.519 --> 00:38:00.800 is nice to do in lush foil photography sim Dan Ryker, Yes, 785 00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:04.679 you wrote some things on a game called Hell is Us. 786 00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:09.400 Yeah, I went to Montreal and played three hours of 787 00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:11.880 this game. Uh, and it was long enough ago to 788 00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:15.440 where it was before we were independent, So really stretching 789 00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:18.320 my memory here because I wrote my article for the 790 00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:21.039 last place and then my notes were gone.

Yeah, where it's like you go and 823 00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:44.440 you're just trying to you're basically going into your home 824 00:39:44.440 --> 00:39:46.000 country and trying to find out what happened to your 825 00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:48.079 hometown and your your family and things. 826 00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:51.039 Like that, and just through talking to people. 827 00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:53.159 There's like tons of NPCs you can talk to, and 828 00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:55.400 it's really smart the way they set of that board. 829 00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:57.440 It's like on the left side are questions you can 830 00:39:57.480 --> 00:40:01.800 ask about, like quest specific about your family, about the hometown, 831 00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:03.960 stuff like that. But then pretty much everyone you talk 832 00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:07.239 to on the right also has just like general lore 833 00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:09.800 stuff about the world, the civil war that's going on, 834 00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:14.239 these different factions and stuff. So it very much behooves 835 00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:16.000 you to talk to everyone you meet. You'll find like 836 00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:18.079 a little girl in an addict that's hiding. You'll find 837 00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:20.360 a priest that's about to be hung, you know, and 838 00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:22.239 it's just you ask them all these questions and it 839 00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:24.159 does kind of flesh out what's going on in this 840 00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:27.880 world and influence where you want to go next. And 841 00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:29.800 there's just a bunch of cool mysteries and stuff. There's 842 00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:32.039 just like in the middle of this field there's this big 843 00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:34.639 amorphous blob event horizon looking thing. 844 00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:36.639 It's like that looks fucked up. Don't know what that is. 845 00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:38.840 And like, just through talking to people and getting some 846 00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:41.079 context clues and stuff, you'll kind of learn some things. 847 00:40:41.119 --> 00:40:45.760 And I was just really intrigued by the confidence in like, no, 848 00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:47.840 this is how you're gonna play this game. We're not 849 00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:50.880 going to hold your hand like I like that. That 850 00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:52.159 does seem to be the big hook of this and 851 00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:54.239 I haven't played anything that goes that hard into it. 852 00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:56.360 You know, it wasn't what I was expecting. 853 00:40:56.639 --> 00:40:58.800 Dan is more like a Soul's or like an action 854 00:40:58.920 --> 00:41:00.960 adventure type of game. 855 00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:03.519 Like Cry. 856 00:41:03.920 --> 00:41:06.079 Yeah, it's definitely a soul it's neither. 857 00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:08.320 I would say, it's definitely not on the difficulty level 858 00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:11.760 of a of a Soul's game. I wouldn't say there's 859 00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:15.239 you know, Perry's and things like that. But it's also 860 00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:17.800 not super flashy stylish action stuff like a Devil May 861 00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:20.119 Cry or Bayonetta or anything. It's kind of its own thing, 862 00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:24.480 it is. It's more deliberate than a in terms of deliberateness. 863 00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:26.639 It's between I guess the two things we're talking about here, 864 00:41:26.639 --> 00:41:30.199 a Devil maycryer from game, you know, but yeah, tonally 865 00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:33.800 just yeah, the music, the design, the enemy design. It's 866 00:41:33.840 --> 00:41:37.199 just this like oppressive weirdness around you at all times, 867 00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:40.119 and like you just kind of feel intentionally lost when 868 00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:42.079 you play this game. And I thought that was really cool, 869 00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:44.079 Like all the hints and stuff. You'll get some like 870 00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:46.679 diegetic stuff where it's like wind chimes and trees that 871 00:41:46.719 --> 00:41:49.360 you're following or markings that you're looking for on on 872 00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:51.719 the environment, and uh, you know, there are there are 873 00:41:51.719 --> 00:41:53.679 games where you could do this type of stuff where 874 00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:55.079 it's like, you know, Red Dead Redemption too. You could 875 00:41:55.079 --> 00:41:56.599 turn off the HUD and stuff and just go off 876 00:41:56.599 --> 00:41:59.360 of like what NPCs are barking out and road signs 877 00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:01.719 and things. But this one is like, no, this is 878 00:42:01.800 --> 00:42:03.039 this is what the game is. 879 00:42:03.360 --> 00:42:04.719 So that's awesome. 880 00:42:05.800 --> 00:42:08.960 It just feels like just different enough, right, Like it's 881 00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:13.159 just strange enough, just different enough. I want you know, 882 00:42:13.159 --> 00:42:15.519 obviously it's tough to really understand what the no map 883 00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:19.280 and waypoint what the real kind of implications of that are. 884 00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:22.960 But and I can't tell the if like the open 885 00:42:23.079 --> 00:42:26.400 worldness of it all I had, like it does feel 886 00:42:26.440 --> 00:42:30.400 open world in a way, but but maybe that's more 887 00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:33.800 of an illusion than actual like what you're meant to do. 888 00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:35.760 It could be kind of more that open zone type 889 00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:37.599 thing where it's, yeah, we know where we want to. 890 00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:40.320 But on the map that I saw on the yeah, right, 891 00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:41.920 I was like, I saw a map, but what am 892 00:42:41.960 --> 00:42:45.079 I talking about? It's you will get handwritten stuff, so 893 00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:47.039 you will get like, oh, the character gave me this 894 00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:49.519 piece of paper with an arrow drawn on it. 895 00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:51.480 You know. It's like, yeah, because I did remember seeing 896 00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:51.840 a map. 897 00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:54.599 You have a compass, right, Like that's kind of like 898 00:42:54.760 --> 00:42:55.760 because people do say like. 899 00:42:57.159 --> 00:42:58.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 900 00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:01.039 I think it's like it's got a little bit of 901 00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:02.519 like annihilation in there too. 902 00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:04.320 A little bit. I asked them about that while I 903 00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:04.639 was there. 904 00:43:04.679 --> 00:43:06.719 I was like, I'm getting like a real annihilation vibe 905 00:43:06.719 --> 00:43:07.800 out of this, and they're like, that was one of 906 00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:08.400 our main. 907 00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:12.480 Yeah, there's some shimmer shit and what is it. It's like 908 00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:16.280 late nineties. It takes place in right, like alternate history. 909 00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:17.039 Very alternately. 910 00:43:17.079 --> 00:43:19.280 It takes place in like a fictional country that had 911 00:43:19.320 --> 00:43:20.599 this like civil war going on. 912 00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:23.280 But yeah, it's weird, you know, I just think it's 913 00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:25.159 rat I think it's just different enough. 914 00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:27.400 Like to me, I didn't really know what to expect. 915 00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:29.360 I was going in on vibes only right, because that's 916 00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:31.400 why I thought it was a very much a me game, 917 00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:33.920 because it was like I thought it was more survival 918 00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:36.079 horror kind of thing, but it's it's kind of not 919 00:43:36.519 --> 00:43:39.880 I wouldn't call it that, and yeah, I'm into it. 920 00:43:39.920 --> 00:43:42.559 I was actually pleasantly surprised that it was not the 921 00:43:42.599 --> 00:43:45.119 thing I assumed it was, but the thing it actually 922 00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:49.119 is I find kind of intriguing and uh, definitely worth 923 00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:50.760 digging more into for sure. 924 00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:51.119 Yeah. 925 00:43:51.159 --> 00:43:52.920 I went in pretty blind, having just seen like the 926 00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:55.159 trailers and stuff, and then like once you know, they 927 00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:57.199 gave us a presentation before about all this, like you know, 928 00:43:57.239 --> 00:44:00.400 no handholding. Was intrigued, and then as I played it, 929 00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:02.719 I was like, oh, Okay, this has suddenly become something 930 00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:04.119 I'm looking forward to this year. 931 00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:09.280 Mike Manatti, if this will entice you, the whole enemies 932 00:44:09.559 --> 00:44:11.440 or the enemies with the holes in their heads. They 933 00:44:11.480 --> 00:44:13.599 look like nobody's from Kingdom Hearts. 934 00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:15.800 Wow. Yeah, yeah, more of a. 935 00:44:16.199 --> 00:44:21.440 Fourth kind of guy actually, or unversed even but okay, okay, yeah, 936 00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:24.000 thanks Dan, this is on my radar. Now this looks 937 00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:29.840 sick al right, Gang, a little bit light on the 938 00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:33.199 games because of things going on, Dan, can you say, oh, 939 00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:33.800 I can't. 940 00:44:33.599 --> 00:44:34.639 Say that's I checked today. 941 00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:36.880 Yes, So I'm going to be pretty light on new 942 00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:39.239 stuff for a while because I got des Stranding two 943 00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:42.639 and I played like five hours of it last night, 944 00:44:42.719 --> 00:44:43.559 and I'm going to keep going. 945 00:44:43.599 --> 00:44:44.960 That's a big game. I already know that. 946 00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:47.239 So I just got to get through that thirty hours 947 00:44:47.239 --> 00:44:48.679 I played in Japan, then I can get to the 948 00:44:48.719 --> 00:44:51.079 new stuff and then I can talk about it on 949 00:44:51.239 --> 00:44:55.079 June twenty third. So yeah, between SGF switch and des 950 00:44:55.119 --> 00:44:57.440 Stranding two, that's probably going to take up like most 951 00:44:57.480 --> 00:44:58.320 of my time this month. 952 00:44:59.320 --> 00:45:01.119 All right, Well, game we can talk about. 953 00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:04.119 We played on the second half of VPF against kind 954 00:45:04.159 --> 00:45:08.519 of Funny is Elden Ring Night Rain, Mike Manatti, You 955 00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:10.320 and I teamed up for Jeff Grubb to take on 956 00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:15.960 the Fools of the World and Elden Ring and also 957 00:45:16.360 --> 00:45:20.480 the clowns over there kind of funny. They felt so 958 00:45:20.679 --> 00:45:23.320 threatened by us, Mike that they needed to bring on 959 00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:27.119 a ringer to take on us. True that being said, 960 00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:30.360 the score is now one to one Monaco, two to us, 961 00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:33.039 Elden Ring to them. We'll settle this in maybe like 962 00:45:33.079 --> 00:45:35.920 a dodgeball game. So I want to smash then I 963 00:45:35.960 --> 00:45:40.280 can win, Okay, Mike. I wound up digging this game 964 00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:42.480 a lot. I actually played more over the weekend. 965 00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:45.480 Oh, how did you? Because I played a bit more too. 966 00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:47.800 I played with my brothers for a bit, which is nice. 967 00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:50.559 So there's three of us minnaughtis so that works out 968 00:45:51.000 --> 00:45:51.719 pretty well. 969 00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:52.199 Scene. 970 00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:54.159 I had fun playing with you and Jeff. I have 971 00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:57.440 fun playing with them. There's still things about this game 972 00:45:57.480 --> 00:46:02.840 I find kind of weird. Yeah, but and I also 973 00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:05.199 have no desire to play it with Randos. I know 974 00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:07.840 there was a patch that came out I think maybe 975 00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:10.760 even yesterday, that tried to make the solo experience a 976 00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:15.960 bit better, a bit more balanced. There's still nothing for duos, 977 00:46:16.039 --> 00:46:18.440 but there's things here I like, I don't know, Jan like, like, 978 00:46:19.039 --> 00:46:21.960 who were you playing with Randos this weekend or other friends? 979 00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:22.360 Yep? 980 00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:24.960 I was playing with complete randos because all of my 981 00:46:25.039 --> 00:46:26.920 friends that did pick up Night Rain are on the 982 00:46:26.960 --> 00:46:31.000 PS five and no cross play. This is a game 983 00:46:31.039 --> 00:46:32.159 that really needs cross play. 984 00:46:32.239 --> 00:46:32.920 Yeah, that's rough. 985 00:46:33.760 --> 00:46:36.800 Uh, Mike, we should talk about how this isn't quite 986 00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:40.639 an Elden Ring. It's kind of like a fortniteification. 987 00:46:41.320 --> 00:46:44.639 It's like it it's so many things that's Fortnite's Monster 988 00:46:44.760 --> 00:46:47.800 hunter ish. Yeah, it's kind of a roguelike because it 989 00:46:47.880 --> 00:46:50.599 is run base and you're kind of getting random stuff, 990 00:46:50.639 --> 00:46:53.719 but you're also playing as these kind of character classes. 991 00:46:53.760 --> 00:46:55.400 So that's part of the thing is that it's so 992 00:46:55.679 --> 00:46:59.239 many things kind of jam it's one and some of 993 00:46:59.280 --> 00:47:02.599 it just doesn't ness necessarily jive with the ways I want. 994 00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:03.760 To be playing. 995 00:47:03.960 --> 00:47:05.280 Maybe a Soul is like like the. 996 00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:08.400 Eleanor Ring stuff with the circle and you're always moving. 997 00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:11.199 It's kind of a go go, go go go thing. Yeah, 998 00:47:11.199 --> 00:47:13.199 where it's usually a Soul's like, it's kind of like 999 00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:16.880 methodical before you fight a boss, really take your time 1000 00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:20.519 and think about your build and things like that. And oh, 1001 00:47:20.559 --> 00:47:22.599 the inventory is kind of numbersome, but it's okay. You 1002 00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:24.719 can take your time right now when you're in a fight. 1003 00:47:24.760 --> 00:47:27.159 Maybe a tectic and here it's just like we got 1004 00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:29.960 to run the circle is coming, which is just a 1005 00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:32.679 wild thing to say, and a sole is like. 1006 00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:35.119 And as far as I remember, we talked about this 1007 00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:37.360 while we were playing it. But when I just jumped 1008 00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:40.920 in for the first time after the tutorial boss, you 1009 00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:45.400 don't really explain the circle mechanic, I believe, and I 1010 00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:47.519 was just caught in the circle and I kept dying. 1011 00:47:47.920 --> 00:47:52.679 I was so confused. Also, when you match into I 1012 00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:57.719 guess a run with Raindos or with whoever, you keep 1013 00:47:58.519 --> 00:48:01.599 getting reds until you die. All three of you die 1014 00:48:01.679 --> 00:48:05.280 at like the boss at the end of the night 1015 00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:08.440 or the end of the day, and so until you 1016 00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:11.639 get to the where the circle is closing, you can 1017 00:48:11.760 --> 00:48:13.719 go on throughout the map to take on a bunch 1018 00:48:13.719 --> 00:48:16.800 of mini bosses, go out for loot and stuff. I 1019 00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:18.800 think we settled into a pretty good rhythm when we 1020 00:48:18.800 --> 00:48:22.440 were playing at Mike, did you how is how is 1021 00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:23.599 playing with your brothers? 1022 00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:26.679 It is funny because you kind of like you kind 1023 00:48:26.679 --> 00:48:29.480 of learned the ideal way to go about things, and 1024 00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:31.159 people are already talking about that. 1025 00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:33.639 Like one thing I've sort of heard is like on. 1026 00:48:33.719 --> 00:48:38.159 Night one really uh, focus on getting extra charges for 1027 00:48:38.199 --> 00:48:41.679 your flask and do things, you know, and that kind 1028 00:48:41.719 --> 00:48:44.239 of thing. And hey, there go to the mines because 1029 00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:46.639 that's where you can get the somber smithingstones. The smithing 1030 00:48:46.639 --> 00:48:49.320 stones you can make your weapons stronger. Maybe Night two 1031 00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:52.880 is when you're really worried about fighting as many of 1032 00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:55.760 the kind of mini bosses as you can so that 1033 00:48:56.039 --> 00:48:58.000 you know then for day three you're you're ready for 1034 00:48:58.440 --> 00:49:03.039 that big boss. So it's funny because you have all 1035 00:49:03.039 --> 00:49:05.159 these choices with the character classes, and I like that, 1036 00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:07.800 even unlocked some more of them, but it almost feels 1037 00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:11.440 like maybe it's surprisingly rigid and the best way to 1038 00:49:11.519 --> 00:49:15.920 go about things. Maybe that's an illusion right now, there 1039 00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:18.559 doesn't seem to be as much of that kind of 1040 00:49:18.639 --> 00:49:23.039 classic from soft souls like Jazz in there to me. 1041 00:49:24.920 --> 00:49:28.679 Yeah, my experience from playing with Rando's is a little 1042 00:49:28.679 --> 00:49:32.320 bit up and down. Generally, at least one party member 1043 00:49:32.360 --> 00:49:35.360 will know the flow of the game, and then the 1044 00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:37.960 other third person will kind of be weighing us down 1045 00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:39.719 a bit because they just keep going off in their 1046 00:49:39.719 --> 00:49:40.920 own direction because they think. 1047 00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:43.159 It's like super duper open. Right. 1048 00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:46.480 Communication in the game is a little light. I kind 1049 00:49:46.480 --> 00:49:49.880 of wish there was more modern quality of life stuff 1050 00:49:49.960 --> 00:49:53.719 like pinging being easier than just like having to open 1051 00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:55.559 up your map and then circle around your map. 1052 00:49:57.639 --> 00:50:02.519 Yeah. I have oddly been really enjoying. 1053 00:50:02.159 --> 00:50:05.119 It, and I could. I finished Elder Ring, but I 1054 00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:06.880 bounced off of it in major way where I just 1055 00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:09.760 didn't want to revisit it. I think here because you're 1056 00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:12.360 locked into classes and it's kind of like a. 1057 00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:16.760 No one, no one get mad at me here. This 1058 00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:21.599 kind of reminds me of Turbo Mode and Doda. Oh 1059 00:50:21.559 --> 00:50:22.360 my god. 1060 00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:24.760 Now I'm not saying that I've been playing Doda, all right, 1061 00:50:24.800 --> 00:50:26.199 I'm clean, everyone, all right. 1062 00:50:26.760 --> 00:50:29.239 I'd rather you spoke more cigarettes than played the same 1063 00:50:29.320 --> 00:50:35.599 same I don't cigarettes than dodat it into. 1064 00:50:35.360 --> 00:50:40.039 The okay, go to ruin my life and destroyed my marriage. 1065 00:50:40.280 --> 00:50:42.480 Where I do like that the only thing I have 1066 00:50:42.519 --> 00:50:45.199 to worry about is just having enough souls and ruins 1067 00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:47.719 and stuff stuff to level up and just visit the 1068 00:50:47.719 --> 00:50:51.000 bonfire and get going. I also enjoy that you just 1069 00:50:51.039 --> 00:50:53.199 got to walk by the bonfire and then you just 1070 00:50:53.199 --> 00:50:56.159 get boosted up in your glasks refill and everything. 1071 00:50:56.880 --> 00:50:58.000 I just don't know how. 1072 00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:04.320 How much legs this game has after the initial boom. 1073 00:51:05.039 --> 00:51:07.559 Yeah, and like even you know, just just from what 1074 00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:09.800 I'm presented with, there's kind of like what eight of 1075 00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:12.119 these bosses that you kind of have to go through, 1076 00:51:12.159 --> 00:51:14.480 and even then, like the bosses are different, but what 1077 00:51:14.519 --> 00:51:18.280 you're doing is maybe kind of similar. So I do wonder, 1078 00:51:18.320 --> 00:51:20.920 like once I, once you know, finish shit, how much 1079 00:51:20.920 --> 00:51:22.920 more is there? Maybe you know they can keep adding more. 1080 00:51:23.079 --> 00:51:26.079 I guess this is a live service game, so we'll see. 1081 00:51:26.280 --> 00:51:29.960 One thing that's neat. There's this kind of codex in 1082 00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:33.679 your main hall or whatever, and you sort of unlock 1083 00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:37.599 these like more traditional one on one fights for each 1084 00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:40.639 of the classes where you just actually go and fight 1085 00:51:40.719 --> 00:51:44.639 bosses as as those dudes, and suddenly is much more 1086 00:51:44.639 --> 00:51:46.920 like a traditional Soul is Like there. I think that's 1087 00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:50.000 a neat addition. I'd be happy to check out more 1088 00:51:50.079 --> 00:51:50.519 of those. 1089 00:51:51.159 --> 00:51:54.320 Yeah, I'm curious to see if from is going to 1090 00:51:54.400 --> 00:51:57.440 expand this world or maybe what they could do with 1091 00:51:57.480 --> 00:52:00.840 a night rate and two down the line. That being said, 1092 00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:06.119 I would enjoy playing this game more with you and grub. Yeah, 1093 00:52:06.239 --> 00:52:09.079 I definitely want to check out some more of it. 1094 00:52:09.239 --> 00:52:10.800 I don't I doubt it's going to be something I 1095 00:52:10.880 --> 00:52:16.000 get super into I think it's a neat experiment. I 1096 00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:18.480 think even you know, I think there's a rush of 1097 00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:21.719 concerning maybe negativity around it at the immediate launch. I 1098 00:52:21.719 --> 00:52:24.960 think more people are coming around to it and then 1099 00:52:24.960 --> 00:52:26.760 are finding the fun with it and kind of accepting 1100 00:52:26.800 --> 00:52:29.480 it for what it is. And it seems like from 1101 00:52:29.519 --> 00:52:31.880 Software is addressing some of those complaints quickly. I do 1102 00:52:31.960 --> 00:52:34.360 want to try it solo now and see if that 1103 00:52:34.360 --> 00:52:36.639 feels viable, because part of it is, especially with run 1104 00:52:36.679 --> 00:52:38.920 based games, a run based game, I'm like, I want 1105 00:52:38.920 --> 00:52:40.079 to go and do a run right now. 1106 00:52:40.400 --> 00:52:41.159 Well, the only way I. 1107 00:52:41.159 --> 00:52:43.360 Enjoy playing this game is with my brothers, who have 1108 00:52:43.480 --> 00:52:46.480 families and whatnot, our friends who also have jobs and 1109 00:52:46.519 --> 00:52:48.880 are busy. It's kind of hard to like be like, hey, 1110 00:52:48.920 --> 00:52:51.320 let's go do a run right now. I want that 1111 00:52:51.360 --> 00:52:53.880 to be spontaneous. It's something I can just do, but 1112 00:52:53.960 --> 00:52:56.960 not to do with randos in a game where deciding 1113 00:52:56.960 --> 00:52:59.559 where we go is a very important thing. So we're 1114 00:52:59.559 --> 00:53:02.800 all just around nervous to make the first move, like 1115 00:53:02.920 --> 00:53:06.679 a bunch of middle school dance kids, right It's it's awkward. 1116 00:53:06.719 --> 00:53:12.000 Sadie Hawkins dance, you know, the dance scene and heavyweights, 1117 00:53:12.360 --> 00:53:14.880 and then you got counselor to make a move. 1118 00:53:15.199 --> 00:53:19.639 Smoothie always comes back the editing technique. 1119 00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:24.360 Your queen would be proud, Mike, is there a way 1120 00:53:24.400 --> 00:53:29.519 to end end to run without wiping at the very No? 1121 00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:34.320 So I hate that because like like when you die 1122 00:53:34.599 --> 00:53:37.440 to a mini boss, you lose a level, and that's 1123 00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:38.719 often enough to cook you. 1124 00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:42.440 It's like, well, that's losing a whole level. We're done. 1125 00:53:42.719 --> 00:53:44.880 We're cooked here, and you want to just end the 1126 00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:47.920 run and get whatever rewards you should. But as far 1127 00:53:47.920 --> 00:53:50.519 as I can tell, maybe I'm missing something that you 1128 00:53:50.519 --> 00:53:54.159 could just leave, but you don't get like the rewards 1129 00:53:54.159 --> 00:53:56.480 if you you know, and you get some runes or whatever, 1130 00:53:56.559 --> 00:53:58.280 and you want those, so you have to wait to 1131 00:53:58.360 --> 00:54:01.519 at least you fight one of the night big bosses, 1132 00:54:01.960 --> 00:54:04.719 and when people die to that, then you actually die 1133 00:54:04.719 --> 00:54:07.119 and feel because otherwise you just keep responding and losing 1134 00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:08.239 levels and everything. 1135 00:54:09.079 --> 00:54:12.159 Yeah, it's an interesting loop. I feel like the Monster 1136 00:54:12.280 --> 00:54:15.079 Hunter crowd would get into it, and sometimes they don't 1137 00:54:15.079 --> 00:54:18.519 see the Monster Hunter crowd necessarily crossing over to the 1138 00:54:18.760 --> 00:54:20.719 Soul's like gang. 1139 00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:23.400 Okay, so chat, let's clarify it. And I was wondering 1140 00:54:23.440 --> 00:54:26.079 about this because you drop when you die, you drop 1141 00:54:26.159 --> 00:54:27.960 your runs, and I just assume those were the ruins 1142 00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:30.920 you're carry with you. Apparently that has the level you lost. Also, 1143 00:54:31.079 --> 00:54:32.639 Oh so I guess you can just get back in. 1144 00:54:32.719 --> 00:54:35.519 This may be done. See, man, this is kind of 1145 00:54:35.519 --> 00:54:38.000 the classic. I like that from software doesn't have to 1146 00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:40.800 explain everything to me and these games, but sometimes I'm like, oh, 1147 00:54:40.800 --> 00:54:42.519 I didn't know that, and I wish I did. 1148 00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:43.639 So there you go. 1149 00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:48.400 Yeah, I never saw the ruins that I lost when 1150 00:54:48.440 --> 00:54:49.800 I whenever I would die. 1151 00:54:50.280 --> 00:54:52.519 Yeah, they're on the map, just like in normal elder rings. 1152 00:54:52.519 --> 00:54:55.719 So they are there, they are they are doing it's like. 1153 00:54:55.719 --> 00:54:58.159 And I also get why you would make it difficult 1154 00:54:58.159 --> 00:55:00.480 for people to leave if you people are playing with 1155 00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:01.079 Rando's right. 1156 00:55:01.079 --> 00:55:02.920 You don't want people just rage quitting and then everybody 1157 00:55:02.960 --> 00:55:05.719 else is screw it. So I do get it. Yes, Aja, 1158 00:55:05.800 --> 00:55:08.519 you were right about this. I was wrong. He was 1159 00:55:08.719 --> 00:55:11.360 screaming was he said this was how it worked. When 1160 00:55:11.400 --> 00:55:12.079 I was playing, my. 1161 00:55:12.039 --> 00:55:14.119 Brothers and me and my other brother ganked up on 1162 00:55:14.239 --> 00:55:16.239 him and told him he was a stupid idiot. 1163 00:55:16.360 --> 00:55:18.639 And of course it doesn't work that way. It turns 1164 00:55:18.639 --> 00:55:22.000 out it works that way, So my bad on that one. Ah, 1165 00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:25.079 so they can get absorbed by enemies like in Blood Born, 1166 00:55:25.239 --> 00:55:25.960 I see, Okay. 1167 00:55:26.000 --> 00:55:27.760 I also got mad at him because we died on 1168 00:55:27.800 --> 00:55:29.880 the Final Boss and I was like, oh, that's my 1169 00:55:29.920 --> 00:55:31.440 fault everybody I died to eight times. 1170 00:55:31.639 --> 00:55:33.320 He's like, yeah, it was your fault. I was like, 1171 00:55:33.360 --> 00:55:35.840 you're supposed to say how it's your fault too. You're 1172 00:55:35.840 --> 00:55:39.320 not supposed to agree, supposed to take equal blame. It's 1173 00:55:39.360 --> 00:55:42.159 bad de corum. Well with that, we're gonna let Mikey 1174 00:55:42.199 --> 00:55:44.960 cool off. That does it for games Talk.

I have 1445 01:09:23.399 --> 01:09:25.600 to see if if I can make that happen. 1446 01:09:26.119 --> 01:09:29.960 What those won't break? The boxes? The problem that the box, 1447 01:09:31.399 --> 01:09:31.640 I mean. 1448 01:09:31.960 --> 01:09:34.239 The skulls you attack with it will break. But yeah, 1449 01:09:34.279 --> 01:09:36.439 the mug will be fine self defense. 1450 01:09:37.439 --> 01:09:40.000 It's a self defense mug. That's how we promoted it. 1451 01:09:40.680 --> 01:09:43.840 The Switch To is coming up very similar, just a 1452 01:09:43.880 --> 01:09:46.279 couple of days away from the release of it, so 1453 01:09:46.319 --> 01:09:50.560 those reviews should be dropping any moment now right. Well, no, 1454 01:09:51.000 --> 01:09:55.720 actually there are no switch To reviews from Andy Robinson VGC. 1455 01:09:56.279 --> 01:09:58.560 It's official. For the first time more than twenty years, 1456 01:09:58.600 --> 01:10:01.520 there will be no pre release previews for new Nintendo console. 1457 01:10:02.079 --> 01:10:05.800 According to a company spokesperson, Nintendo cided not the sense 1458 01:10:05.840 --> 01:10:08.520 switch to review units to press ahead of launch because 1459 01:10:08.920 --> 01:10:12.319 important features and updates will only be available via a 1460 01:10:12.359 --> 01:10:14.760 system update on the day of the console's official release 1461 01:10:15.119 --> 01:10:18.520 on June fifth. It did not say what these updates 1462 01:10:18.640 --> 01:10:21.479 entail or explain why the media wasn't offered the opportunity 1463 01:10:21.520 --> 01:10:24.399 to review its launch games like Mario Kart World and 1464 01:10:24.439 --> 01:10:28.520 Switch To Welcome Tour at in person events instead, like 1465 01:10:28.560 --> 01:10:31.520 if they with previous console launches such as the we 1466 01:10:32.359 --> 01:10:34.640 neither did. Explain by critics can't be trusted to cover 1467 01:10:34.720 --> 01:10:37.600 products with knowledge that additional functional would be patched later, 1468 01:10:38.079 --> 01:10:44.039 as they've frequently used to. This is weird, in some 1469 01:10:44.079 --> 01:10:47.119 ways not super surprising. I think Nintendo has been looking 1470 01:10:47.479 --> 01:10:51.680 for opportunities to kind of cut out traditional media in 1471 01:10:51.800 --> 01:10:55.720 terms of getting messages out there with its products. That's 1472 01:10:55.800 --> 01:10:58.239 a big part of that Nintendo today app right, It's 1473 01:10:58.239 --> 01:11:00.560 like we're gonna tell people about us to you don't 1474 01:11:00.560 --> 01:11:03.800 have to have weird journalists middle men. I don't know 1475 01:11:03.800 --> 01:11:05.720 how at like those sell. 1476 01:11:05.760 --> 01:11:07.720 And Nintendo jail is a little cramped right now with 1477 01:11:07.760 --> 01:11:10.359 all these other guys, Like. 1478 01:11:12.000 --> 01:11:14.880 You can use your mug to rattle on the bars and. 1479 01:11:15.600 --> 01:11:19.359 C and that ship won't break. Listen. As long as 1480 01:11:19.359 --> 01:11:22.279 I've been in this business, you know, when I was 1481 01:11:22.279 --> 01:11:25.920 at Senate, we had very as cushy as a relationship 1482 01:11:25.960 --> 01:11:27.680 with Nintendo as you could possibly ask for. I mean, 1483 01:11:27.720 --> 01:11:29.840 they they were very accommodating. 1484 01:11:30.680 --> 01:11:33.920 However, I'd be lying if I said that this entire time, 1485 01:11:33.960 --> 01:11:36.039 it was always like it always felt like. 1486 01:11:36.560 --> 01:11:38.880 They were just always like do we have to like 1487 01:11:38.960 --> 01:11:39.920 do we do we have. 1488 01:11:39.840 --> 01:11:40.520 To play with them? 1489 01:11:41.319 --> 01:11:43.159 And then when I say them, I don't mean seen it. 1490 01:11:43.199 --> 01:11:46.680 I mean like media press in general, And I always 1491 01:11:46.680 --> 01:11:49.680 felt like they kind of like were sort of forced 1492 01:11:49.720 --> 01:11:51.960 to kind of play ball in a way that they 1493 01:11:52.000 --> 01:11:53.119 never really wanted to. 1494 01:11:53.319 --> 01:11:56.359 I always them great, Like I was at Lawrence dot Com, 1495 01:11:56.399 --> 01:11:58.479 and I remember they sent me the Wei and every 1496 01:11:58.520 --> 01:12:00.560 single launch game like three weeks early. 1497 01:12:01.159 --> 01:12:02.920 Of course, that's like I said, I've seen it. It 1498 01:12:03.000 --> 01:12:06.039 was gross how over the top they would accommodate it. 1499 01:12:06.079 --> 01:12:08.359 But I still think there was this sort of air 1500 01:12:08.479 --> 01:12:11.119 of like, we don't need to be doing this, We're 1501 01:12:11.199 --> 01:12:12.159 kind of just doing this. 1502 01:12:12.600 --> 01:12:15.399 I know what you mean, beck Lar, And I think 1503 01:12:15.439 --> 01:12:19.199 that Nintendo, if they can, they would do everything on 1504 01:12:19.239 --> 01:12:22.000 their own. Yes, they've been much more open to working 1505 01:12:22.000 --> 01:12:23.880 with other people, but I think it kind of kills 1506 01:12:23.880 --> 01:12:27.239 them that they have to partner with Universal on theme 1507 01:12:27.319 --> 01:12:29.399 parks and movies and that they just can't do all 1508 01:12:29.439 --> 01:12:31.920 of that stuff in house. And like, yeah, I think 1509 01:12:31.960 --> 01:12:34.680 they hate that they have to trust journalists or the 1510 01:12:34.720 --> 01:12:38.479 people with the messaging behind these things. They're very sensitive 1511 01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:42.000 about it. Eyewitnessed it firsthand when I accidentally said how 1512 01:12:42.000 --> 01:12:45.960 many catch shines were in Super Mario three D World 1513 01:12:46.039 --> 01:12:48.640 Bowser's Fury, and have been kind of like on a 1514 01:12:48.680 --> 01:12:51.600 shit list ever since then, even then, Like I still 1515 01:12:51.640 --> 01:12:56.439 get opportunities to get codes once they launch, blah blah blah. 1516 01:12:56.479 --> 01:12:59.479 But yeah, I think it's strange, like, you know, there 1517 01:12:59.520 --> 01:13:01.840 aren't going to be any reviews. However, Mario Kart World, 1518 01:13:02.000 --> 01:13:03.840 when that game watches, we're just gonna have to wait 1519 01:13:03.880 --> 01:13:06.520 for everybody to play it and then figure it out. 1520 01:13:07.600 --> 01:13:08.119 It's weird. 1521 01:13:08.279 --> 01:13:10.560 Yeah, it's I mean, I guess one hand, it's like, 1522 01:13:11.119 --> 01:13:13.680 I'm glad that there's not like a Breath of the 1523 01:13:13.720 --> 01:13:15.960 Wild type situation, because that would be such a more 1524 01:13:16.000 --> 01:13:18.680 pressing Like Mario Kart, I think everyone's gonna get what 1525 01:13:18.720 --> 01:13:21.079 that game is right away. Yeah, it's a really good 1526 01:13:21.079 --> 01:13:23.640 Mario Kart, Whereas like with Breath the Wild, it was 1527 01:13:23.760 --> 01:13:25.880 huge to have a few weeks to play it before 1528 01:13:25.880 --> 01:13:28.359 it came out, versus we got in a Nintendo jail 1529 01:13:28.399 --> 01:13:30.279 and then Tears of the Kingdom I got on release day 1530 01:13:30.279 --> 01:13:32.000 and it's like, man, how the fuck are you gonna, 1531 01:13:32.119 --> 01:13:34.000 you know, review a game that's like one hundred plus 1532 01:13:34.000 --> 01:13:36.159 hours long and you've got it when everyone else did, Like, 1533 01:13:36.239 --> 01:13:37.199 what's the point at that point? 1534 01:13:37.279 --> 01:13:37.479 You know? 1535 01:13:37.640 --> 01:13:41.039 See, I'm not surprised about the switch to I what 1536 01:13:41.159 --> 01:13:42.319 I'm thinking about now is. 1537 01:13:42.279 --> 01:13:44.880 Like, we're not gonna get a fucking Donkey Kong ahead 1538 01:13:44.880 --> 01:13:45.119 of time? 1539 01:13:45.199 --> 01:13:45.239 No? 1540 01:13:45.359 --> 01:13:46.279 Is that what that means too? 1541 01:13:47.520 --> 01:13:47.840 I don't. 1542 01:13:47.920 --> 01:13:49.720 I think they're doing this for the hard work. I 1543 01:13:49.840 --> 01:13:54.199 Nintendo always gave code pre release. You know, I'm saying, 1544 01:13:54.239 --> 01:13:56.960 I bet media will get Donkey Kong early. We won't 1545 01:13:57.000 --> 01:13:57.880 as long as we're Nintendo. 1546 01:13:58.079 --> 01:14:00.760 Well well yeah no, yeah, but yeah, that's what I'm asking. 1547 01:14:01.039 --> 01:14:01.560 Am I asking? 1548 01:14:01.640 --> 01:14:03.520 Is this just because it's attached to the hardware. 1549 01:14:03.600 --> 01:14:07.000 I think that was acial case because of the hardware, 1550 01:14:07.000 --> 01:14:09.479 And I bet they like are still very electrially. We 1551 01:14:09.520 --> 01:14:11.800 don't want this this stuff out there. They're gonna leak 1552 01:14:11.840 --> 01:14:14.159 it or people blah blah blah. I bet they won't 1553 01:14:14.199 --> 01:14:16.079 be quite as precious when it comes to just sending 1554 01:14:16.079 --> 01:14:18.119 out codes for Donkey kongin. 1555 01:14:18.399 --> 01:14:20.319 Yeah, which we we understand that. 1556 01:14:20.600 --> 01:14:23.800 Yeah, yep, alright. 1557 01:14:24.079 --> 01:14:28.319 Next up here is uh hey, State to Play is happening, 1558 01:14:28.319 --> 01:14:30.319 so you confirmed State of Play places sho case four 1559 01:14:30.319 --> 01:14:35.079 tomorrow will last forty plus minutes. This from Wesley yan 1560 01:14:35.319 --> 01:14:38.279 Pool at IGN and a Placetation blog post. Sunny Interactive 1561 01:14:38.399 --> 01:14:41.680 Entertainment Content Communications manager Tim Turry said fans will get 1562 01:14:41.960 --> 01:14:44.760 news and updates on must play games coming to PS 1563 01:14:44.840 --> 01:14:48.000 five to It continued. The show highlights a selection of 1564 01:14:48.000 --> 01:14:49.840 great games from creators across the globe. 1565 01:14:49.960 --> 01:14:52.680 Classic is there a trusted source of album. 1566 01:14:53.800 --> 01:14:55.760 The forty plus a bit of show begins on June 1567 01:14:55.760 --> 01:14:59.039 fourth at two pm Pacific, five pm Eastern. 1568 01:14:59.239 --> 01:14:59.960 Everybody, who's one? 1569 01:15:00.239 --> 01:15:01.720 When we were going to get one of these, it's 1570 01:15:01.760 --> 01:15:06.479 a little surprising that it's happening right now, right before 1571 01:15:06.560 --> 01:15:09.000 SGF they get nothing going on. You could have given 1572 01:15:09.079 --> 01:15:11.039 us a bit more of a heads up about this, 1573 01:15:11.560 --> 01:15:14.439 but uh, there you go. It's always worth mentioning. State 1574 01:15:14.479 --> 01:15:18.840 of plays are not PlayStation showcases. They're often smaller events, 1575 01:15:18.880 --> 01:15:21.680 but they can have some exciting things. And we haven't 1576 01:15:21.720 --> 01:15:23.680 heard from PlayStation in a while, so I think there 1577 01:15:23.720 --> 01:15:25.520 are some expectations here. 1578 01:15:27.159 --> 01:15:30.079 State of play PlayStation showcase is usually the smaller. Well 1579 01:15:30.079 --> 01:15:31.119 what is the big one called? 1580 01:15:31.239 --> 01:15:33.960 Wait second show? State of play places?

We've been getting those at a pretty 1606 01:16:39.840 --> 01:16:41.680 steady clip for a while now. 1607 01:16:42.840 --> 01:16:45.640 So yeah, it's not even here maybe at s yet, 1608 01:16:45.640 --> 01:16:49.720 but honestly, probably at Sony's thing, we do see Resident Evil, 1609 01:16:49.760 --> 01:16:52.279 and I'm very interested to see what that looks like. 1610 01:16:53.159 --> 01:16:54.560 Rumors have been saying that it's going to be a 1611 01:16:54.560 --> 01:16:57.239 bit more open world, like Capcom kind of had an 1612 01:16:57.279 --> 01:17:01.560 unofficial trilogy of open world games, and it's Ari Engine with. 1613 01:17:03.039 --> 01:17:04.039 Not deaf stranding too. 1614 01:17:04.319 --> 01:17:09.279 The Dragon's Dogma two, then we had Mustard Hunter Wilde 1615 01:17:09.319 --> 01:17:12.760 and then this Resident Evil.

Wait, so can 1672 01:19:35.960 --> 01:19:37.880 we wait, Let's bring it back for a second here, 1673 01:19:38.159 --> 01:19:40.319 h R E R E e. 1674 01:19:41.199 --> 01:19:43.960 Because that was village, right, yes, that was village people. 1675 01:19:44.079 --> 01:19:48.199 That was like a half step towards open world right more. 1676 01:19:48.000 --> 01:19:52.399 Opens on a wheel center hub and then it's like, okay, 1677 01:19:52.439 --> 01:19:53.560 the four like kind of maze. 1678 01:19:55.439 --> 01:19:57.880 Oh, exactly like Disney. 1679 01:19:58.760 --> 01:20:03.840 When when the relevant analogy is made, you will get points. 1680 01:20:03.920 --> 01:20:08.800 And that was kind of perfect. Resident Evil Village Eighth 1681 01:20:08.880 --> 01:20:13.239 Village is basically Disneyland disney World in Florida, where like, 1682 01:20:13.760 --> 01:20:15.640 what's in the center is it Epco? No? 1683 01:20:15.760 --> 01:20:17.600 No, So it's more like even Disneyland is in the 1684 01:20:17.640 --> 01:20:20.239 center is the castle, and then from it the supposed 1685 01:20:20.239 --> 01:20:20.439 to go. 1686 01:20:20.399 --> 01:20:21.359 To fantasy Land. 1687 01:20:21.479 --> 01:20:25.439 He's right, I'm you're right, you're right, you're right, it 1688 01:20:25.520 --> 01:20:27.399 makes sense, you're right, Yes. 1689 01:20:27.560 --> 01:20:31.800 Yeah, kild it. Friend of the show Jason Schreier skeating 1690 01:20:31.880 --> 01:20:36.840 out something very vague about Jason Tryer liking Final Fantasy 1691 01:20:36.840 --> 01:20:39.640 Tactics and saying that's one of the greatest games ever made. 1692 01:20:40.439 --> 01:20:44.680 Okay, wait a second, things about this, so Fapacity Tactics 1693 01:20:45.079 --> 01:20:48.399 we've been hearing maybe a leak if that is coming forever, 1694 01:20:48.680 --> 01:20:52.199 but also Final Fantasy nine is something troy fifth anniversary, 1695 01:20:52.239 --> 01:20:54.479 and they keep updating that website. They added a bunch 1696 01:20:54.479 --> 01:20:58.359 of new character art recently. So there are two potential 1697 01:20:58.560 --> 01:21:02.439 Final Fantasy remakes we could hear about here, and I 1698 01:21:02.479 --> 01:21:04.640 think we I think like I'd go vertical for both 1699 01:21:04.680 --> 01:21:06.239 of them. Nine, I'd go super vertical. 1700 01:21:06.279 --> 01:21:06.439 Four. 1701 01:21:06.479 --> 01:21:08.439 I think a lot of you would go super vertical 1702 01:21:08.840 --> 01:21:11.000 for Tactics. I hope you get both of them because 1703 01:21:11.079 --> 01:21:13.199 I really want to play it. And they don't really 1704 01:21:13.279 --> 01:21:16.800 have anything Found Fantasy on the docket at the moment, 1705 01:21:16.880 --> 01:21:18.560 so it is kind of time to announce some stuff 1706 01:21:18.560 --> 01:21:21.760 here while we're waiting for remake part three of some. 1707 01:21:21.880 --> 01:21:25.520 Miikey mike Final Fantasy nine Tactics. 1708 01:21:26.720 --> 01:21:28.680 How's I'll go with it? I'm sure? Why not? 1709 01:21:29.319 --> 01:21:29.439 Right? 1710 01:21:29.720 --> 01:21:32.159 And there be a little vv on a tile give me, 1711 01:21:32.239 --> 01:21:34.880 give me tile vv And hey, haven't heard from Kingdom 1712 01:21:34.880 --> 01:21:36.920 Heart's four In a little bit they showed those screenshots 1713 01:21:36.960 --> 01:21:39.840 because they canceled that mobile game as kind of a gimbie. 1714 01:21:39.920 --> 01:21:41.920 But maybe that pops up here too. 1715 01:21:42.199 --> 01:21:45.720 I don't know, all right, so we'll be we'll be 1716 01:21:45.760 --> 01:21:47.720 a reacting to that, those of us who aren't in 1717 01:21:48.119 --> 01:21:51.439 LA anyways.

The first IOI showcase will air online 1729 01:22:17.920 --> 01:22:21.079 and in person on June sixth at six pm Pacific, 1730 01:22:21.439 --> 01:22:26.439 provide new details for iois franchises, including Hitman, Minds I 1731 01:22:26.479 --> 01:22:29.640 can't forget about Minds I, and Double seven First Like 1732 01:22:29.880 --> 01:22:32.920 that is that James Bond game that has a name now, 1733 01:22:33.000 --> 01:22:35.319 So that's that's nice. The event will be live stream 1734 01:22:35.319 --> 01:22:38.840 from Los Angeles on Iois, Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok channels 1735 01:22:39.159 --> 01:22:42.760 feature exclusive trailers, announcements, gameplay demos, and the live Q 1736 01:22:42.880 --> 01:22:46.039 and A with key figures from io Interactive, Build a 1737 01:22:46.079 --> 01:22:48.800 Rocket Boy, and more. The studio has also confirmed that 1738 01:22:48.840 --> 01:22:52.920 it will showcase it's proprietory game engine, Glacier, alongside announcements 1739 01:22:52.920 --> 01:22:57.800 regarding upcoming content for Hitman Broad Assassination and collaborations within 1740 01:22:57.840 --> 01:23:01.159 the Hitman franchise. I think it's exciting that it seems 1741 01:23:01.159 --> 01:23:03.239 like we're going to be getting new content for Hitman 1742 01:23:03.279 --> 01:23:08.399 World Assassination. That could just mean, you know, like more targets. 1743 01:23:08.600 --> 01:23:11.079 We know that the switch to version has that Mario 1744 01:23:11.079 --> 01:23:13.520 and Luigi stuff in it. Pardon me, is like, oh, 1745 01:23:13.520 --> 01:23:15.279 are we gonna get a new map because that would 1746 01:23:15.319 --> 01:23:16.119 freaking rule? 1747 01:23:17.039 --> 01:23:22.199 Yeah, I'm want more Hitman stuff. It's not good. This 1748 01:23:22.319 --> 01:23:23.039 is Alheimer. 1749 01:23:23.199 --> 01:23:26.119 The Hitman World of Assassination thing. Is that launch for 1750 01:23:26.119 --> 01:23:26.680 for switch To? 1751 01:23:27.359 --> 01:23:28.720 Yes? I think it is. So that's a long. 1752 01:23:31.079 --> 01:23:33.039 Yeah, it's like the one third party game I want 1753 01:23:33.079 --> 01:23:34.800 the most, I think, because I mean I played that 1754 01:23:34.880 --> 01:23:37.560 game a ton and still just having that on a 1755 01:23:37.640 --> 01:23:41.680 on a switch To running pretty well would be fantastic. 1756 01:23:41.920 --> 01:23:43.640 So you know, maybe they're just talking about the stuffcoming 1757 01:23:43.640 --> 01:23:46.159 that version, but I'm hoping that we, uh we do 1758 01:23:46.319 --> 01:23:49.119 get a new map here. They added that one Pirate 1759 01:23:49.159 --> 01:23:51.359 theme map maybe a couple of years ago, a little 1760 01:23:51.359 --> 01:23:53.840 bit after the fact, and that was pretty cool. So 1761 01:23:54.119 --> 01:23:55.600 I don't think they're going to be doing a new 1762 01:23:55.680 --> 01:23:59.159 Hitman soon. And honestly, I almost if they've updated that 1763 01:23:59.199 --> 01:24:01.720 game a lot with new maps, that would almost be enough, 1764 01:24:01.720 --> 01:24:03.520 because I think the formula that they have there. 1765 01:24:03.479 --> 01:24:08.680 Is pretty much perfect. I think IOI doing this presentation 1766 01:24:08.800 --> 01:24:11.960 during SGF is the perfect time to launch a map 1767 01:24:12.439 --> 01:24:13.520 at a video game. 1768 01:24:13.600 --> 01:24:14.920 Oh my god, convince. 1769 01:24:17.439 --> 01:24:20.560 So good. I would love it. I would love it. 1770 01:24:20.560 --> 01:24:22.439 Who would the target be? Be careful? 1771 01:24:25.159 --> 01:24:28.199 Probably shouldn't say, but it would be hilarious. 1772 01:24:28.239 --> 01:24:29.920 Where if one of the things you got to blend 1773 01:24:29.920 --> 01:24:32.199 in with is Agent forty seven is now giving a 1774 01:24:32.279 --> 01:24:35.000 keynote speech during like a presentation. 1775 01:24:35.359 --> 01:24:40.359 I remember remember that picture of the PlayStation booth worker 1776 01:24:40.479 --> 01:24:43.039 and the Xbox boothworker and they kind of look like 1777 01:24:43.079 --> 01:24:44.119 star Cross lovers. 1778 01:24:44.359 --> 01:24:47.720 I want not to figure into it prominentally, like. 1779 01:24:47.680 --> 01:24:49.880 They're they're like gossiping, and like that's how you pick 1780 01:24:49.920 --> 01:24:55.039 up key info about your Target. If you overear then yeah, yeah, yeah, 1781 01:24:55.079 --> 01:24:57.239 but yeah also first Light, that's the name of that 1782 01:24:57.359 --> 01:25:00.199 Bond game we've this has been announced the There was 1783 01:25:00.199 --> 01:25:03.079 a bit more of an extratise on the Nintendo Direct 1784 01:25:03.079 --> 01:25:06.239 about the Switch too, because it's coming to that so 1785 01:25:06.279 --> 01:25:09.159 we'll finally get a look at this game. We still 1786 01:25:09.199 --> 01:25:11.560 really don't know much about it. If it's going to 1787 01:25:11.640 --> 01:25:13.960 be a lot like Hitman, if it's gonna be a 1788 01:25:13.960 --> 01:25:16.960 bit more shootery, I'm not super sure. I don't even 1789 01:25:17.000 --> 01:25:19.000 know what perspective it's going to be in. But I'm 1790 01:25:19.039 --> 01:25:21.960 excited to get a look. There's a big legacy of 1791 01:25:22.079 --> 01:25:28.000 James Bond video games out there. Oh right, then. Pokemon 1792 01:25:28.159 --> 01:25:31.760 Scarlet and Violet Switch two patches out now, as Nintendo reveals. 1793 01:25:31.760 --> 01:25:35.239 The first footage of the upgrade is from George Middler 1794 01:25:35.279 --> 01:25:38.479 at VGC ptenders released new footage of Pokemon Scarlet and 1795 01:25:38.760 --> 01:25:41.399 running on Nintendo Switch to The patch for the game, 1796 01:25:41.600 --> 01:25:44.439 which upgrades the game's visuals and performance, is available to 1797 01:25:44.479 --> 01:25:47.600 download now.

Scarlet and Violent and 1801 01:25:59.159 --> 01:26:01.199 this alsohich will rent sixty phrase per second at a 1802 01:26:01.239 --> 01:26:05.319 high resolution. The consoles launch is Thursday, June fifth. The 1803 01:26:05.359 --> 01:26:07.920 next game in the series, Pokemon legendszy A. We're released 1804 01:26:07.920 --> 01:26:11.359 on Nintendo Switch and switched to on October sixteenth. I 1805 01:26:11.479 --> 01:26:13.760 have been a big fan of Pokemon in the past. 1806 01:26:14.000 --> 01:26:17.239 Scarlet and Violet looked so bad that it was something 1807 01:26:17.279 --> 01:26:19.760 of a breaking point for me. It was the first 1808 01:26:19.800 --> 01:26:22.479 mainline Pokemon game I just could not finish. I was 1809 01:26:22.800 --> 01:26:26.199 so distraught by how terrible it looks. Look at this, 1810 01:26:26.720 --> 01:26:29.600 you know, like the detail isn't great, but sixty phrase 1811 01:26:29.640 --> 01:26:31.600 per second goes such a long way with me. I 1812 01:26:31.640 --> 01:26:32.920 can play this game now. 1813 01:26:33.159 --> 01:26:35.840 It Yeah, I think this was my one of my 1814 01:26:35.840 --> 01:26:40.239 breaking points as well. I think I remember for Scarlet 1815 01:26:40.239 --> 01:26:42.359 and Violet, I loaded it up at like when it 1816 01:26:42.479 --> 01:26:45.119 launched at midnight and did a quick look live solo dolo, 1817 01:26:45.800 --> 01:26:50.000 and then I remember backlaar Uh and Dibb Beckel are 1818 01:26:50.039 --> 01:26:51.960 telling me that him and did watch it afterwards, and 1819 01:26:52.000 --> 01:26:54.159 I think during that quick look, I said, guys, i 1820 01:26:54.159 --> 01:26:57.199 think I'm done with Pokemon, And I remember dib telling 1821 01:26:57.319 --> 01:27:01.760 his father, you know I'm sad for Jan, but I don't. 1822 01:27:01.600 --> 01:27:05.159 Think he's done yet. So thanks to Dip for holding 1823 01:27:05.199 --> 01:27:08.039 on to that hope for me. Why ears I keep 1824 01:27:08.039 --> 01:27:10.000 telling him that, yeah, we're back. 1825 01:27:10.079 --> 01:27:12.520 It's worth knowing that this isn't one of those upgrades 1826 01:27:12.560 --> 01:27:15.279 you have to buy. This is just a patch, so 1827 01:27:15.680 --> 01:27:17.680 you know you just played this on your switch to 1828 01:27:18.279 --> 01:27:21.000 and it will be running better. I mean, this game, 1829 01:27:21.279 --> 01:27:25.479 like that frame rate was maybe in the teens sometimes single. 1830 01:27:26.399 --> 01:27:29.119 It ran like hot garbage on the switch one. It 1831 01:27:29.199 --> 01:27:30.239 was shocking, So. 1832 01:27:31.279 --> 01:27:33.000 It was kind of weird seeing Breath of the Wild 1833 01:27:33.079 --> 01:27:35.119 running at sixty frames per second those videos. Seeing this 1834 01:27:35.199 --> 01:27:38.720 game running at sixty frames per second is it's almost 1835 01:27:39.039 --> 01:27:43.800 uplifting in a way, So I'm excited about that. I 1836 01:27:43.840 --> 01:27:45.760 definitely think I am going to go back and at 1837 01:27:45.800 --> 01:27:48.239 least try to play through that main story. It'll be 1838 01:27:48.239 --> 01:27:50.279 a little weird because I don't want to restart because 1839 01:27:50.279 --> 01:27:53.199 I remember the beginning being pretty long and boring, So 1840 01:27:53.479 --> 01:27:56.039 I guess I'll just jump back in and figure out, Okay. 1841 01:27:55.800 --> 01:27:56.880 Who was in my party? 1842 01:27:57.039 --> 01:27:58.960 Oh, it's that guy who looks like a motorcycle who 1843 01:27:59.000 --> 01:28:01.119 doesn't actually move his wheels like a motorcycle. 1844 01:28:01.199 --> 01:28:05.520 Right. I hate him, but that's okay. We'll have fun. 1845 01:28:05.600 --> 01:28:08.479 People can Fly shuts down two games and prepares for layoffs. 1846 01:28:08.520 --> 01:28:14.840 So from Dean Takashi games Beat. Sebastian well Walgowski, Sorry 1847 01:28:14.880 --> 01:28:17.239 about that, CEO of Polish game studio People can Fly, 1848 01:28:17.680 --> 01:28:20.359 announced that the company is suspended development of two games, 1849 01:28:20.600 --> 01:28:24.800 Project Gemini and Project by Frost. As a result, he 1850 01:28:24.880 --> 01:28:27.079 said the company has had to significantly regroup as a 1851 01:28:27.079 --> 01:28:29.680 studio and scale downs teams. People can Fly has been 1852 01:28:29.720 --> 01:28:31.960 plagued by cancelation of layoffs recently, though it is still 1853 01:28:31.960 --> 01:28:34.279 working on Gears of War E Day for Microsoft with 1854 01:28:34.520 --> 01:28:38.079 the Coalition. The company said the Gemini suspension is due 1855 01:28:38.119 --> 01:28:42.239 to the publisher, which is Square Enix Agreement, are failing 1856 01:28:42.319 --> 01:28:45.079 to present the company with a draft of the subsequent 1857 01:28:45.159 --> 01:28:47.760 content writer to the publishing agreement covering the terms of 1858 01:28:47.760 --> 01:28:50.800 conditions of further milestones of Gemini, and the lack of 1859 01:28:50.840 --> 01:28:54.039 communication from the publisher as to its willingness to continue 1860 01:28:54.319 --> 01:28:57.600 or terminate Gemini. It sounds like Square Enix ghosted them. 1861 01:28:57.800 --> 01:28:59.479 Yeah, yeah, which. 1862 01:28:59.439 --> 01:29:04.199 Is strange, strange thing for them to do. Then By 1863 01:29:04.319 --> 01:29:06.960 Frost was kind of a suspended, sort of due to 1864 01:29:07.000 --> 01:29:11.079 the suspension of Gemini and analysis of the company's cash flow. 1865 01:29:11.760 --> 01:29:14.600 Boy, this is rough. People Can Fly has done some 1866 01:29:14.640 --> 01:29:17.119 good stuff before Bulletstorm. I think we all look back 1867 01:29:17.199 --> 01:29:19.880 fondly too. And they have worked on Gears of War 1868 01:29:20.479 --> 01:29:22.199 a lot, and like I said, they are working on 1869 01:29:22.279 --> 01:29:22.880 E Daisy. 1870 01:29:22.960 --> 01:29:25.159 Think that would be a good thing for them. But boy, 1871 01:29:25.199 --> 01:29:28.800 it is rough out there. I don't understand Square Enix 1872 01:29:29.000 --> 01:29:31.600 at all. Over the last couple of years. It feels 1873 01:29:31.680 --> 01:29:35.720 like they're the type of person to ghost you but 1874 01:29:35.840 --> 01:29:41.119 still talk shit about you behind your back. Based off 1875 01:29:41.159 --> 01:29:44.640 of communications and how they've been treating other partners. 1876 01:29:44.960 --> 01:29:47.439 It is kind of going at their strategy though, because 1877 01:29:47.439 --> 01:29:50.039 they used to work with a lot more partners, right, 1878 01:29:50.600 --> 01:29:55.640 especially Western studios, and they've really retreated from that. I mean, 1879 01:29:55.640 --> 01:29:57.640 you know, they used to you know, own like Idaus 1880 01:29:57.720 --> 01:30:00.199 Montreal and stuff like that, right, and they sold that 1881 01:30:00.319 --> 01:30:03.520 off forever ago. So subset is not shocking, but it 1882 01:30:03.560 --> 01:30:06.039 really is leaving People can Fly out to dry. And 1883 01:30:06.079 --> 01:30:09.520 unfortunately for People can Fly, it's not that era We're 1884 01:30:09.560 --> 01:30:11.800 saying Xbox is going out there and buying up a 1885 01:30:11.840 --> 01:30:14.239 lot of studios or things like that. This is a 1886 01:30:14.239 --> 01:30:17.880 pretty tough situation and a tough time for them to 1887 01:30:18.000 --> 01:30:20.119 be in it. I hope they can whether the storm. 1888 01:30:20.199 --> 01:30:23.159 I hope that maybe Microsoft will have more work for 1889 01:30:23.199 --> 01:30:26.039 them to do. Hopefully there's a ton of other Gears 1890 01:30:26.039 --> 01:30:28.439 of Where projects or something else that they can work on. 1891 01:30:30.199 --> 01:30:32.600 Speaking of bad news things again, canceled, EA cancels the 1892 01:30:32.600 --> 01:30:36.279 Black Panther game, closes Cliffhanger Games. It's from Rebecca Valentine 1893 01:30:36.319 --> 01:30:40.000 at IGN Electronic Arts is canceling it's playing Black Panther 1894 01:30:40.079 --> 01:30:42.920 game and shutting down developer Cliffhanger Games. Igen has learned 1895 01:30:43.239 --> 01:30:46.359 an email sent the staff from EA Entertainment President Laura Meil. 1896 01:30:46.640 --> 01:30:51.039 Meil says that these changes, alongside other recent cancelation layoffs, 1897 01:30:51.159 --> 01:30:53.560 are being done to sharpen our focus and put our 1898 01:30:53.560 --> 01:30:58.880 creative energy behind the most significant growth opportunities. Little was 1899 01:30:58.920 --> 01:31:01.560 shown of Black Panthers, so Fartin's announcement twy twenty three 1900 01:31:01.840 --> 01:31:03.479 tho we know from a joblessying it was to be 1901 01:31:03.479 --> 01:31:06.600 a single player action adventure upworld game. Black Panther has 1902 01:31:06.600 --> 01:31:09.479 being developed by the newly formed now close Cliffinger Games, 1903 01:31:09.640 --> 01:31:12.000 which was former toy towy three, with some former developers 1904 01:31:12.039 --> 01:31:18.239 of Middle Earth Shadow of mor Door. This is pretty shocking. 1905 01:31:18.359 --> 01:31:18.680 EA. 1906 01:31:19.359 --> 01:31:21.479 It seems like they're canceling more games than they announced 1907 01:31:21.840 --> 01:31:25.720 these days. It seems like an IP that's right for 1908 01:31:25.760 --> 01:31:28.079 this sort of thing, and yet we've been seeing kind 1909 01:31:28.079 --> 01:31:32.439 of a retreat from making these IP type games. Ubisoft 1910 01:31:32.800 --> 01:31:36.319 recently did an Avatar game and a Star Wars game, 1911 01:31:36.439 --> 01:31:39.039 and neither of those seemed like they did super well. 1912 01:31:39.119 --> 01:31:42.239 EA does have its Jedi series, and they are making 1913 01:31:42.239 --> 01:31:46.159 a new Tactics video game based on Star Wars over there. 1914 01:31:46.279 --> 01:31:48.199 At respond they still have an Iron Man game and 1915 01:31:48.800 --> 01:31:53.079 supposedly another superhero game that we don't know about in developments. 1916 01:31:53.159 --> 01:31:54.039 We'll see how those do. 1917 01:31:54.640 --> 01:31:58.079 Yeah, Either, knowing nothing about Black Panther, reading the description 1918 01:31:58.359 --> 01:32:00.880 of the game sounded like, Man, I want to play that. That 1919 01:32:00.920 --> 01:32:03.159 sounds great, Like I've loved superhero games in the past, 1920 01:32:03.159 --> 01:32:05.039 even though I'm not like a superhero movie guy. And 1921 01:32:05.079 --> 01:32:07.000 the fact that they're gonna use like the Nemesis system 1922 01:32:07.039 --> 01:32:09.800 stuff and everything like it sounded really cool and like yeah, 1923 01:32:09.800 --> 01:32:11.199 and probably would have told the shit done. 1924 01:32:11.119 --> 01:32:15.079 Right, you would think Black Panther is still very popular, 1925 01:32:15.199 --> 01:32:18.399 and there is there's another Black Panther game. One that's 1926 01:32:18.479 --> 01:32:22.239 set during World War Two with Captain America, and that's 1927 01:32:22.279 --> 01:32:25.279 the one that Amy Henning's making over at sky Dance or. 1928 01:32:25.920 --> 01:32:26.439 I can't remember. 1929 01:32:26.479 --> 01:32:29.279 They even a Rise of Hydra or something like that, 1930 01:32:29.319 --> 01:32:31.640 but it's just like, you know, more akin to what 1931 01:32:31.680 --> 01:32:34.680 people are used to from the movies, that kind of 1932 01:32:34.800 --> 01:32:39.039 Black Panther, and I think that would have resonated quite 1933 01:32:39.079 --> 01:32:41.800 a bit people and its supposedly what they were working 1934 01:32:41.800 --> 01:32:46.279 on looked cool, but EA was somewhat upset about the 1935 01:32:46.359 --> 01:32:48.000 kind of lack of progress or the fact that they 1936 01:32:48.039 --> 01:32:50.760 were still in a beta phase after years of development 1937 01:32:50.800 --> 01:32:53.079 and work on it. I don't know, it seems like 1938 01:32:53.079 --> 01:32:54.000 they lost patience. 1939 01:32:54.439 --> 01:32:55.800 Was was Black Panther? 1940 01:32:55.880 --> 01:33:00.560 Ryan Coogler yep, Okay, I'm finally saying Centers tonight. So exciting, 1941 01:33:00.720 --> 01:33:02.239 very excited for that. I've heard good times. 1942 01:33:02.760 --> 01:33:03.840 Yeah, I don't know. 1943 01:33:03.880 --> 01:33:07.720 I feel like the Black Panther ips is still very valuable, 1944 01:33:07.760 --> 01:33:10.279 even though we've had a like kind of decline an 1945 01:33:10.319 --> 01:33:14.119 interest with the MCU and then Marvel Video Games kind 1946 01:33:14.119 --> 01:33:18.239 of being up and down. But people absolutely adore the 1947 01:33:18.279 --> 01:33:22.079 Spider Man games. If this Black Panther game could have 1948 01:33:22.119 --> 01:33:25.399 been fun to run around in, this could have occupied 1949 01:33:25.399 --> 01:33:29.279 that same spot. A lot of folks like how Wakanda 1950 01:33:29.279 --> 01:33:32.960 looks in the movies, and you could do a lot 1951 01:33:33.159 --> 01:33:39.720 with afro Futurism as like a very underrepresented setting in 1952 01:33:39.800 --> 01:33:41.960 video games in general. So it could have been really 1953 01:33:41.960 --> 01:33:44.439 neat to look at. It's a bummer that EA just 1954 01:33:44.439 --> 01:33:45.920 doesn't want to make games anymore. 1955 01:33:46.399 --> 01:33:50.079 Yeah, and the parallels here are kind of are kind 1956 01:33:50.079 --> 01:33:55.119 of strange because Warner Brothers canceled Wonder Woman in February 1957 01:33:55.119 --> 01:33:57.760 this year and then shut down Model It Productions. This 1958 01:33:58.119 --> 01:34:00.239 studio was kind of, you know, built off of some 1959 01:34:00.319 --> 01:34:03.279 monolist staff. It's like we just have had that entire 1960 01:34:03.399 --> 01:34:06.720 kind of legacy and trajectory for games wiped out this year. 1961 01:34:07.439 --> 01:34:08.520 It's a bummer for sure. 1962 01:34:08.760 --> 01:34:09.600 Yeah. 1963 01:34:09.880 --> 01:34:12.159 All right, though, that's it for the news, Jen, I'm 1964 01:34:12.239 --> 01:34:13.760 handing the show back over to you. 1965 01:34:14.920 --> 01:34:17.600 All right.

Caffeine doesn't actually dehydrate you. 2154 01:42:35.439 --> 01:42:38.239 If someone was dying of thirst and all you had 2155 01:42:38.319 --> 01:42:42.800 was coffee, it would dehydrate them more. Caffeine is a diuretic, though. 2156 01:42:43.039 --> 01:42:45.319 A diuretic is something that makes you need to pee more. 2157 01:42:45.600 --> 01:42:48.079 Some people are more affected by it, though, and you 2158 01:42:48.159 --> 01:42:51.319 need to take and to take more pee breaks, you'd 2159 01:42:51.359 --> 01:42:53.560 have to drink an immense amount of coffee for to 2160 01:42:53.640 --> 01:42:58.640 dehydrate you, like way more than even Jaan drinks. Watermelon 2161 01:42:58.720 --> 01:43:01.600 is a stronger diuretic then coffee.

Yes, my 2347 01:51:44.760 --> 01:51:46.800 Catholic upbringing, I don't know if I can handle this. 2348 01:51:46.920 --> 01:51:49.720 Guys, you just keep a cup of holy water to 2349 01:51:49.800 --> 01:51:50.239 your side. 2350 01:51:50.279 --> 01:51:50.880 You'll be fine. 2351 01:51:51.520 --> 01:51:54.359 That's why I got in that uh container right there, 2352 01:51:54.479 --> 01:51:58.079 just holy water. I still want the Koetur plays through 2353 01:51:58.119 --> 01:51:59.640 from jan the most. I'm gonna be honest. 2354 01:51:59.680 --> 01:52:01.039 Let's do both at the same time. 2355 01:52:01.279 --> 01:52:03.319 Oh wow, that's crazyol, Give. 2356 01:52:03.319 --> 01:52:04.199 What you wish for, folks. 2357 01:52:04.239 --> 01:52:08.439 Got played a little game called Eternal Darkness, and you're weak. 2358 01:52:09.199 --> 01:52:11.920 I played that game right around the same time as you. 2359 01:52:11.960 --> 01:52:12.640 I had a great time. 2360 01:52:13.960 --> 01:52:16.000 Uh wait, you did. 2361 01:52:16.079 --> 01:52:17.119 That's a that's weird. 2362 01:52:17.199 --> 01:52:18.600 You just did it. You did? 2363 01:52:18.960 --> 01:52:20.560 Yeah. I think I was just playing it because I 2364 01:52:20.600 --> 01:52:20.960 was I was. 2365 01:52:21.039 --> 01:52:24.239 I had gotten a new HDMI converter for my GameCube 2366 01:52:24.319 --> 01:52:25.760 or something, so I was just playing a lot of 2367 01:52:25.800 --> 01:52:28.279 GameCubes right when I started streaming too, So I think 2368 01:52:28.319 --> 01:52:31.119 I just streamed through Eternal Darkness. I was like, I 2369 01:52:31.119 --> 01:52:32.680 think this game is a little clunky, but I think 2370 01:52:32.720 --> 01:52:34.600 it's so fun. And then you did your play through, 2371 01:52:34.960 --> 01:52:38.399 and now you also had Dan and Jeff being fucos 2372 01:52:38.439 --> 01:52:40.720 with you the entire time, which I think was maybe 2373 01:52:40.800 --> 01:52:42.800 impacting your enjoyment a little bit. 2374 01:52:42.840 --> 01:52:45.479 Maybe maybe that's why I like can't even look at 2375 01:52:45.520 --> 01:52:49.640 the game logo anymore, or like even like like I bet, 2376 01:52:49.920 --> 01:52:51.319 but I do think if I played it with a 2377 01:52:51.359 --> 01:52:54.800 GameCube controller on the game Cube, it would it would 2378 01:52:54.840 --> 01:52:56.000 probably be a better experience. 2379 01:52:56.000 --> 01:52:58.560 Shoot hardware. Yeah, that was I mean, it's it's a 2380 01:52:58.600 --> 01:53:02.039 weird game. The spell system and there is just pretty wild. 2381 01:53:02.479 --> 01:53:03.920 But there's still a lot about that game that I 2382 01:53:03.960 --> 01:53:07.239 find the whole jumping between different time periods and. 2383 01:53:07.199 --> 01:53:10.840 The Yeah, of course I don't think it makes me weak, 2384 01:53:10.880 --> 01:53:12.600 but we can we can unpack that now. 2385 01:53:13.479 --> 01:53:15.560 I say, you're right, and I apologize. 2386 01:53:16.760 --> 01:53:18.720 Let's let's just bottle up inside. 2387 01:53:18.960 --> 01:53:22.000 Deep history of me being mean to you, right and 2388 01:53:24.600 --> 01:53:30.199 totally justifiable. I Uh, there were a couple of parts 2389 01:53:30.239 --> 01:53:31.920 where we're playing that game where I was just like, 2390 01:53:32.439 --> 01:53:33.840 I can't believe I did this. 2391 01:53:33.920 --> 01:53:36.439 I can't believe I like went through this at one point. 2392 01:53:36.560 --> 01:53:39.039 I also don't like dive into retro stuff as much 2393 01:53:39.039 --> 01:53:41.079 as maybe some of us do, and like, I guess 2394 01:53:41.079 --> 01:53:44.239 it's less surprising when like Mike or I go back 2395 01:53:44.239 --> 01:53:46.199 to a PS two era game or game. 2396 01:53:46.920 --> 01:53:48.000 We do that stuff all the time. 2397 01:53:48.199 --> 01:53:50.680 Yeah, right, there was there was one scene. There were 2398 01:53:50.680 --> 01:53:52.239 a couple of maybe one or two scenes where like 2399 01:53:52.359 --> 01:53:55.439 the next object or like the next task in which 2400 01:53:55.479 --> 01:53:59.720 you are meant to do is so just nonsense, like 2401 01:53:59.840 --> 01:54:02.399 just nonsense, and you're like, what, like when did I 2402 01:54:02.520 --> 01:54:03.439 how did I do this? 2403 01:54:03.600 --> 01:54:05.720 I think we I think back then we also probably 2404 01:54:05.760 --> 01:54:07.760 just looked it up. I mean, game facts was still. 2405 01:54:07.560 --> 01:54:10.199 A thing, they were still strategy guides. 2406 01:54:11.680 --> 01:54:14.039 Mike, I feel like we're especially insulated now from that 2407 01:54:14.079 --> 01:54:16.000 feeling of thinking old games are bad, because now we're 2408 01:54:16.000 --> 01:54:18.479 playing old games that are notoriously bad. 2409 01:54:19.079 --> 01:54:22.479 So alone in the dark compared with you. 2410 01:54:22.439 --> 01:54:27.159 Know, eternal Darkness would be Eternal darkness would be exactly tolerance. 2411 01:54:27.920 --> 01:54:31.159 There was somebody on the reddit was like, ah, I'm 2412 01:54:31.159 --> 01:54:33.560 playing Rascal and like, you know, it's not good game. 2413 01:54:33.600 --> 01:54:35.680 I don't think it's I don't think the controls are 2414 01:54:35.680 --> 01:54:38.039 as bad as they said, I was like, I'm just 2415 01:54:38.039 --> 01:54:38.880 gonna let this one go. 2416 01:54:39.760 --> 01:54:45.199 Yeah, the Grub got that the worst. 2417 01:54:43.159 --> 01:54:44.960 O Grub hasn't the worst because there are still all 2418 01:54:45.000 --> 01:54:46.680 these people like that Kitan is not that bad and 2419 01:54:46.720 --> 01:54:47.680 they're probably playing it. 2420 01:54:47.840 --> 01:54:50.880 They have to be playing a patch version, because there's 2421 01:54:50.920 --> 01:54:54.319 no way anybody could play what I saw Jeff play 2422 01:54:54.359 --> 01:54:55.520 and be like this is pretty good. 2423 01:54:56.000 --> 01:54:56.520 Yeah. 2424 01:54:57.039 --> 01:55:00.279 I feel Grub since he's in the same state as 2425 01:55:00.279 --> 01:55:04.720 me right now. I just feel him brimming with anger presence. Yeah, 2426 01:55:04.840 --> 01:55:07.960 just just hearing that thought that Daikatana may be okay 2427 01:55:08.199 --> 01:55:10.600 and Pete better not be angry. He's in fucking Disneyland 2428 01:55:10.680 --> 01:55:14.520 right now.

Anyway, 2435 01:55:34.239 --> 01:55:37.239 listening to last week's episode and the discussion about uncle names, 2436 01:55:37.279 --> 01:55:39.039 and I had to chime in with a cute story 2437 01:55:39.039 --> 01:55:40.680 that will follow me for the rest of my life. 2438 01:55:40.760 --> 01:55:43.920 I assume my baby niece just turned one, and she 2439 01:55:44.039 --> 01:55:47.479 got a favorite toy. She's got a favorite toy doll. 2440 01:55:47.800 --> 01:55:49.520 It's one of those old kind of dolls that have 2441 01:55:49.560 --> 01:55:52.399 a stuffed body, but the hands, feet, big bald head 2442 01:55:52.560 --> 01:55:56.119 are all made of hard plastic.
