Apparently, blueber Team says they are 20 00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.519 done making shitty games, and they introduced their newest game 21 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.599 at the Xbox Partner preview, which we'll also get into 22 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.560 some it feels like we haven't had it been like 23 00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.239 it hasn't been this much with the layoffs recently, but 24 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:48.200 I feel like this week we're back to the layoffs 25 00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:52.599 are dominating headlines again and some other things going on 26 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:54.400 in the world of gaming. So we'll try to get 27 00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.599 to as much of that as possible and more. Oh right, 28 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.280 so just to get this out of the way really 29 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:07.079 quick here housekeeping, We do appreciate you whether you watch live, 30 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:11.520 listen later, watch later, however you consume the podcast, thank 31 00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:17.439 you for doing so, whether that's on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, Spreaker, 32 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:23.000 all that twitch.

We 71 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:32.399 talked about some of the things we're going to talk 72 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:34.680 about here on here as well, but if you want 73 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.120 to hear me and Jeff talk about it over in 74 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:39.399 the Gaming Mix, getting them a shot to subscribe over there. 75 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:41.920 Jordan does great things with us over there at the 76 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:46.240 Outer Haven, so always happy to help when I can so. 77 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.040 But that being said, here, let's get on to the 78 00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:54.319 games we've been playing. I guess I'll start here with 79 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:58.879 the newest game from No Mada Studios. Of course, these 80 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:02.680 are the people that made Greed Greece. Whatever the nomenclace 81 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.560 you want to use. That game received Game of the 82 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:11.759 Year awards, that and any Game of the Year nominations 83 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:16.360 and and and wins. And honestly, I think I've I'm 84 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:20.360 almost done with it. I'm probably like three fourths the 85 00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.759 way through. It's something like about five hour five to 86 00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:26.040 six hour game. But I feel like it's right up 87 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:31.160 there with Greed deserves all of the critical praise and 88 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:35.600 anyone that it definitely goes into that realm of video 89 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:40.399 games or art kind of thing. What separates this game 90 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:46.120 from Greed, which is mainly because Greed was more of 91 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:52.000 like a solitary experience. You're one character going through something, 92 00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:55.120 whereas and it's a lot of puzzles and platforming and 93 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.519 stuff like that. There's not there's no combat in that game. 94 00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:04.360 Never makes the sort of a too a double feeling 95 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:08.959 experience because you have never the wolf or dog or 96 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.279 whatever it is that most likely it's a wolf, but 97 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.079 I'm just saying, and you don't even have to have animals, 98 00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.279 support having kids, having anybody that you pretty much cared 99 00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:20.399 about in your life. You can relate to this game 100 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:25.920 in the way that the main character and Never have 101 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.279 a relationship, you know, and what you do to protect 102 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.399 that relationship throughout the game and throughout the seasons of 103 00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:37.759 the game, and how you see never grow and all 104 00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:43.480 of that stuff is pretty awesome. And this game does 105 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:47.240 have combat, So it's it's different in Greed in that 106 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:51.639 way because the main character does have a sword, has 107 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:55.720 combat that you have to deal with, so you have 108 00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:01.240 your basic like dodge roll button, you know, the sword stab, 109 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:04.439 and then you can also use Never as a weapon 110 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:08.519 as well. So like at first, you kind of starts 111 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:11.759 with like Never being a small cub and so you 112 00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.439 have to like protect you know, the wolf directly basically 113 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:17.959 the whole time until you get through with that season, 114 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:22.680 and then you see Never grow and then you can 115 00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.839 then use Never as a weapon itself, and then that 116 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.759 kind of continues to like evolve as time goes on 117 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:37.079 how that works, and there's boss battles and different elements 118 00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:42.079 of the of the different environments changed with the seasons. 119 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.480 There's one in the Fall that just looks like super 120 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:51.240 metal and awesome, and I was just like blown away 121 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:55.240 at some of the background imagery and all of that stuff. 122 00:07:55.439 --> 00:08:00.199 There's another one that like you're you're basically doing funeral 123 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:04.920 for the various animals that get overtaken by these like 124 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:08.600 this infestation or whatever, which this game was made largely 125 00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:12.639 during COVID, so some of that, like the plague kind 126 00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:15.319 of thing is in here because of that and how 127 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:19.120 those the developers had to deal with that time while 128 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:24.120 making the game right as well, but it's it's just 129 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:25.879 such a beautiful game. It's a game that, like I 130 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:31.839 was constantly wanted to take pictures playing it, been posting 131 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.919 about it because of how pretty it looks. It's on 132 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.919 everything also, so it's not it's not just PlayStation. It's 133 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.120 on Switch, it's on Xbox on PC, so you know, 134 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:45.600 buy it anywhere, and it's only twenty bucks. So if 135 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:49.600 you liked Greed at all, which is on PlayStation Plus 136 00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:51.679 right now, I'm not sure if it's on I don't 137 00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:54.440 think it's on Game Best anymore. But if you have 138 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.679 PSCR Plus, you can go try out Greed to kind 139 00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.720 of get the vibe if you want. It's a similar 140 00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:02.240 vibe there. But again, this one has combat and it 141 00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:05.840 has the kind of duo nature of the story, So 142 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:07.639 this might be a better fit for those that had 143 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:10.840 to complain about Gree kind of just being a glorified 144 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:15.240 walking simulator or whatever. This one is not that some 145 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.600 of the platform being it never really gets hard, I 146 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.360 would say, but there are like chase level chase sections 147 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.039 where you do have to kind of make sure you're 148 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.919 paying attention to what you're doing with the platforming because 149 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:28.559 it has like a triple jump you have to be 150 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:32.159 able to do at certain times, and then being able 151 00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:35.320 to like use Neva to get through a certain parts 152 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:39.279 of it too. So yeah, it's a game that I've 153 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:42.960 really really been enjoying. I'm excited to kind of in 154 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.720 all this other stuff that's like longer, right that I've 155 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:49.240 been playing or had to play, it's not to have 156 00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:52.519 like a shorter experience that does challenge you. Like some 157 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:54.799 of these bosses. It does get difficult like where to 158 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:59.080 dodge and things like that, but yeah, it's still a 159 00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:01.759 really good short experience that it's going to get you 160 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:04.559 in the fields if you like those kind of games. 161 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:06.759 So I'm expecting it's probably going to be up there, 162 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:10.639 for uh, in my top ten for sure, and I'm 163 00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:13.000 sure it's going to be in you know, game award 164 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.759 considerations for various things too. I don't know if you 165 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:17.639 have any interest in this at all. 166 00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:20.639 It sounds like, you know, like one of those types 167 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:26.080 of like imagine in the Forestation Kingdom or what was 168 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:29.120 that one that took forever to come out last? 169 00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.039 Guardian m hm, sure, all right, you. 170 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:37.200 Know, yeah, thankfully you don't have to like physically move 171 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:41.440 the move the dog creature like you do in Last Guardian, right, 172 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.559 but you know there are times where you have to 173 00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:47.360 like go pet the dog or give it a hug 174 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:51.600 to get its emotions back in check or whatever, and 175 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.240 it gives you that like kind of feeling of like, oh, okay, 176 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:59.080 you know that dog, that that that creature is feeling something, 177 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:00.919 and so it kind of makes you feel something too, 178 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:04.399 And it's it's cool in that that aspect, but just 179 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:08.399 just awesome. Been enjoyed that. And also I finally got 180 00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:13.080 to uh play The Silent Hill to remake. I'm not 181 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.320 that far into it. I'm basically like through the like 182 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:23.759 first section pretty much. You know, it's not it's so 183 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:27.360 it's like you know you were telling me previously, you know, like, hey, 184 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:29.360 this is this is kind of usually like not your 185 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:32.200 kind of game, right, And so it's something that I 186 00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:35.200 had to kind of get adjusted to of, Okay, this 187 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:39.240 is this is not like Resident Evil for survival horror horror, 188 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.080 this is not this is more cans of Resident Evil too, 189 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.559 I guess. But even then it's still trying to more 190 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.799 like freak you out with everything. It does, like once 191 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:51.480 you get the radio and the radio waves start popping 192 00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:53.399 up to kind of tell you that there's enemies around, 193 00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:55.960 but it doesn't like exactly pinpoint where they are, and 194 00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:57.960 then all of a sudden, the one will just appear. 195 00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:01.039 There, and enemies. 196 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:04.080 Yeah, it's like well and the fog is there to 197 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:07.720 kind of shroud them as well, right, so like the 198 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:10.759 lying enemies that are like the ones that just have 199 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:14.000 like no face and they kind of crawled around or whatever. 200 00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:18.559 I can see how that works, right. The dodge button, 201 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.919 I think probably I can see some people's thing with 202 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:26.279 the dodge button where that people that are big fans 203 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:28.960 of the original game maybe were like kind of not 204 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:32.080 happy about it because it does change the combat, right. 205 00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:35.279 It makes it to where you have a better It 206 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.960 makes it easier to adjust to the combat because then 207 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.759 you can just kind of keep dodging away from moves 208 00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:43.399 and then kind of find that opening a lot easier 209 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.720 than the first game where the original game where you're 210 00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:50.120 you don't have that, so you're having to just kind 211 00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:54.679 of move around and do that. But yeah, the game 212 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:58.639 looks great. The voice acting is is good from the 213 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.799 parts that I've been able to see. I like exploring 214 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:04.799 and just going through the town, but that game will 215 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:08.440 have you on high alarth that whole time you're playing, 216 00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:12.080 because you'll go into a section and even though you 217 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:14.080 know it's dark and there's probably something that's going to 218 00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:17.840 pop out, you don't know exactly where, and it just 219 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:19.799 kind of keeps you on your toes at that point. 220 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:24.240 But I do get your point of it is slow, Yeah, 221 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.960 And even if you're trying to like bline it and 222 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.960 just do the main like critical path kind of thing, 223 00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:38.679 there's so much blocking that it does where Okay, I 224 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.679 opened this store, Oh but I'm not going anywhere, go 225 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:44.840 opening this door and I still didn't go anywhere. Okay, 226 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.440 it has to be this store. Then how many doors 227 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:51.080 am I going to open before I finally get to 228 00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:55.679 the part where I'm going through this area or I 229 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.639 haven't really gotten to do any of the puzzles yet. 230 00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:00.639 But I imagine the puzzles a kind of in the 231 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:04.799 same vein. So yeah, and I imagine like making this 232 00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:07.200 longer probably doesn't help in that respect of making it 233 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:10.960 feel slower. So right, I can understand where you're coming 234 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.440 from there on that I kind of want to play 235 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:17.320 it more just to keep going. But I do like 236 00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:20.559 that feeling of just taking the board and smashing one 237 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:22.480 of those things and then like stomping on them or 238 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:24.120 whatever till the blood comes out, and you know it's 239 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:31.039 then that feels good. You got to feel his rage there, 240 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.000 and you know, I never played the game, so the 241 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:36.320 story is intriguing to me, but obviously you don't have 242 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:38.840 to necessarily play the game to get that. But it 243 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:42.679 is kind of like the whole experience of just feeling scared, 244 00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:44.080 knowing that's coming, and. 245 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:46.720 You kind of need the story. What else you're really 246 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:48.000 there for? Right? 247 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:51.200 Yeah, But I like the little notes in the nods 248 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:53.559 to like the original game, where I don't really get 249 00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:55.519 what it's trying to do with that. I guess if 250 00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:57.960 I played the original game, I would understand it more 251 00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.440 the whole. Like we're you get to a certain section 252 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:04.120 and it just kind of like pauses and does like 253 00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:08.120 a where the screen like moves or something for a second, 254 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:10.519 and it's supposed to be like that, it's taking you 255 00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:13.639 back to some kind of memory from the original game, 256 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.000 and I'm just like, Okay, I have no idea why 257 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:19.759 this is significant at all. Maybe I'll do like a 258 00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:23.000 deep dive into that if I, you know, beat the 259 00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:27.240 game or something eventually, But maybe that resonates to people 260 00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:31.080 more or whatnot if you played the game. But still 261 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:34.240 I think that from what I can see, like you said, 262 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.559 it's well made, I will have to keep playing it 263 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:39.840 and see how much better. It's just there's so many 264 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.960 games right now, and I really really really want to 265 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:47.000 play the game you're playing metaphor Refantasio, and I'm just like, 266 00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:50.799 I kind of feel like it's that whole sun Can 267 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:55.360 Cost fallacy thing of I didn't get a code. I 268 00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:58.480 didn't you know, somebody didn't buy this for me. I 269 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:00.639 paid the seventy dollars for it, and I feel like 270 00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:03.840 I don't want to do with what happened with Residy before, 271 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:07.159 where oh I bought it at the end of like 272 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:12.519 November or something to play it before the before the 273 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:14.639 what we're gonna do, the the game of the year stuff, 274 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:16.360 and I barely play it, and then I'm just like, 275 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.679 oh man, I bought that and then I never played it. 276 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:23.159 So I try not to not to have that happen 277 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.440 with this game too. But so so I'm trying to 278 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:30.039 like make more progress, right, and still I'm still playing 279 00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:31.679 this other game that I can't talk about. 280 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:34.480 Yeah, you don't want to rush metaphor that much. 281 00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:39.000 Yeah, so how is uh where are you now with 282 00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:39.720 with metaphor? 283 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:43.039 I hit the second big city. It's like just like 284 00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:43.679 Port Town. 285 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:48.279 Uh, it's okay, I screwed up this trophy system or 286 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:51.360 the trophies are already screwed up because there's like one trophy. 287 00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:54.559 We have to like debate the other royal candidates and 288 00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:56.240 like you can only do it like one specific day 289 00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:59.879 and the game doesn't actually tell you this. So the 290 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:02.720 I'm a debated one candidate, I googled, like what's the 291 00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:04.960 right answer for this thing? And it's like, oh, pick this, 292 00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:08.119 pick this answer. And then it's like, oh, uh, you're 293 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:10.359 on your third candidate. And I was like where were 294 00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:13.160 the other two? And it's like, oh, you should have 295 00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:15.039 debated one at the beginning of July. And then when 296 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:16.839 it's you know, the middle of July, I'm like, I 297 00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:21.039 didn't know that that would have been helpful. Uh, it's 298 00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.759 still good, you know. I have the gameplay quite a 299 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:27.400 bit and unlocking more of the archetypes. Uh, because I've ground, 300 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:29.119 I've grinded a lot, Like I have a lot of 301 00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:32.240 mag which is kind of funny. Yeah, and I have 302 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:34.559 a ton of cash also because there's a really fun 303 00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:38.720 Uh there's one archetype called the merchant that completely breaks 304 00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:42.160 the game economy because you know that quick attack thing 305 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:43.119 you can do like in. 306 00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:45.440 The yeah Dudgeons. 307 00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:47.960 Yeah, if you do that. 308 00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:50.880 And against the lower level enemy, you'll instantly kill them 309 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:54.440 and you get like their money and experience. The merchant 310 00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:58.160 archetype lets you get two hundred gold more for doing that. Right, 311 00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:00.559 So if you're in like the low hull of Air, yeah, 312 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:04.079 with a lot of enemies, you can kill them all, 313 00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:06.480 run out, run back in and kill them all again. 314 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:09.680 What's your like do you have like a main part 315 00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:11.519 of your using?
