Let's go ahead and get on 56 00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:03.599 with the the episode here, Mark, let's start with we've 57 00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:07.759 always started with the games. You finally finished You finished 58 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:11.840 it now, ye and you got everybody like level ninety 59 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:13.599 nine before you. 60 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.159 Go, yeah, before it ended. That's real easy. 61 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.560 Why do you uh so, so, is there a trick 62 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.000 to doing this grinding or did it actually feel like 63 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:22.800 a grind to you? 64 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.639 Or I mean, once you hit like level nineties, it's 65 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:27.600 a little grinding just because you know there's only so 66 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.800 many you know, certain enemies are power. You know, you 67 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.120 can only only certain enemies are and that gives you 68 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:36.120 experience at that point, like you can't go back to 69 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:40.360 the lower area and grind it out. But no, that 70 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.160 mayel uber build works really well if you can once 71 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:48.879 out anything or if you can't, like the next time. 72 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.240 The next time she's up, she can for sure because 73 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.199 he knocked everything out, the most of every thing out 74 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:57.720 the first time. So yeah, what do you want to know? 75 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.560 Well, I mean I've been playing the game as well, 76 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.040 so it's not I just haven't been able to move 77 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:07.240 anywhere because I've been having to make sure I could 78 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.360 get through as much a nice day for fishing as 79 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:14.240 possible since them Barbo dropped the day. So I mean 80 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:17.920 I'm still in the same spot. I haven't played the 81 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:23.639 game because I've been playing that. You know, just did 82 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.319 you do any like how much extra stuff do you do? 83 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:32.279 Did you do any more everything. 84 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:35.000 I could find? Yeah, so there's few interesting boss fights. 85 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:39.399 There's a big tower that I think eleven floors and 86 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.959 there are three boss fights and every floor basically ah, 87 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.399 so if you run through that, you'll get a lot 88 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.040 of experience for it and a lot of good materials 89 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:53.600 for upgrading. Weapons. Uh, there's one boss fight where it's 90 00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.560 basically five rooms and you can only use one character 91 00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.800 per room and once they're once they're used, you can't 92 00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.079 use again until the you know, you leave or until 93 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:08.680 the thing's over. So that was interesting because I had 94 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.560 to use characters that like Monaco and cl that I 95 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:12.680 don't really used to often. 96 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.240 H oh okay, that was gonna ask you what do 97 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.600 you do with your party? Because I've been playing like 98 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:22.920 I played h Rebirth, where I switch out the characters 99 00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:23.560 pretty often. 100 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:28.879 The only character the only time I had to switch 101 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.480 out really as is a trophy to get all of 102 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:36.560 Monaco's legs or Monico's legs. Yeah, and you get those 103 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.720 having him in your party when you beat certain enemies. 104 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:45.959 That was the only trophy that glitched on me also unfortunately. 105 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.800 But yeah, I pretty much I always had all my 106 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:57.600 party and I always had the guy. Uh yeah, because 107 00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:00.240 I built him out so he can be like nine 108 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.279 different attacks, but he had like no AP problem at 109 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:07.160 all because he had attack and gained four AP from it, 110 00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.959 four to five. So i'd i'd use him as like 111 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.360 you know, a buffer, a Mark Mark character they have 112 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.279 like you know, if you shoot an enemy they would 113 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:23.680 cave get marked and everything else in between. So yeah, 114 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.560 there there are some like out in the world, there 115 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:28.959 are some world bosses that you can kind of take on. 116 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:33.360 They're like level sixty to seventy, and then there are 117 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:37.160 two like super bosses two to three, I would say, 118 00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:44.560 but in like the Spoak areas that are like actually tough. Yeah, 119 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.120 that are like named and you know. 120 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:50.839 Yeah danger danger, Well no not, I. 121 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:52.439 Mean at a certain point you just go past that, 122 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:56.800 but you know, right, yeah, there's two Simon and then Clea. 123 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.800 Those are like the two like the trophy ones, and 124 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.480 they're not I mean where I was, they weren't that hard, 125 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:06.160 but they you know, if you're playing trying to play 126 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:12.120 the game straight, than they are. Yeah. Yeah, the U 127 00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:15.000 I had true trophies I was worried about. One was 128 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:19.079 the Monaco one. And what happened with that is I 129 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:23.920 got all the legs and the trophy didn't pop. Oh no, 130 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.839 am I missing something or what the hell just happened? Yeah, 131 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.720 And I like had some saves and I reverted it 132 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:33.360 back to an earlier save. I had to get like 133 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.159 three of them, got to three again and didn't happen again, 134 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.200 and I tried it a third time and I was like, 135 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:40.840 all right, what the hell is going on here? 136 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:42.320 Yeah? 137 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.000 And I noticed because I'm still playing like the disc 138 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:47.759 version I didn't update it, and like there are like 139 00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:50.480 these weird colored icons next to next to like the 140 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.519 leg like the skill menu, and I was like, is 141 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:57.200 there something with this? I asked, like Reddit, and they're 142 00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:59.759 like no, it's just like a visual glitch from version one. 143 00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.519 I was like, all right, So I just quickly like 144 00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:06.480 upgraded to the latest version, got got the less like 145 00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:09.799 I needed, and then I popped popped at once and 146 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.360 I was like, all right, cool. Then I deleted the 147 00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:15.039 update and deleted the save and reverted back to my 148 00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:15.440 old one. 149 00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:16.840 Nice. 150 00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:19.080 And the other one that I was worried about was 151 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.120 there's a trophy to collect all the all the journals. 152 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:25.720 I was able to do that, no problem. Uh, they're 153 00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:27.639 actually all where they said they would be, which is good. 154 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.840 And there's one they collect all the records. That one 155 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:38.679 thankfully didn't glitch, but it was it was different from 156 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:41.159 like what you're playing, because there's like at least one 157 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.799 merchant that's also a record that when I went to him, 158 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:48.399 he didn't okay, okay, and there are like there's some 159 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.399 other version differences, like merchants selling things that they're not 160 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:55.320 supposed to, or they are and they just aren't, or 161 00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:58.639 the merchant isn't fucking there. And I was like, all right, 162 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.519 that's cool. But when I beat the game, that that 163 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.519 record one top because you get one right at like 164 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.559 at the end of the game, and I was like, 165 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:07.480 Thank Christ, I don't have to do this again. 166 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.879 You're to keep doing this right? 167 00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:15.679 Yeah? Really good game. Uh you know, the story really 168 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:20.279 like racked up in a really good way. Ah. You 169 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:23.919 go back to the starting town and it's really awesome. 170 00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:27.000 Oh okay, that's great. 171 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:29.720 Yeah, and you get like all the performances are good. 172 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:35.360 Uh yeah. I think it's a really solid game overall. 173 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:37.320 I think what we were talking about last week, I 174 00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.759 think he's I think you do you need even if 175 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.919 you just said bumping down too easy? I think having 176 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:48.519 the dodge and perry mechanic makes that game more unique 177 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.039 than just you know, turn based you know, j RPG 178 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:55.879 based combat, because like, to my mind, there are only 179 00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:57.679 three or four other games that really do this crap, 180 00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:04.919 and that's like Mario RPG. Uh, Legend of Dragoon, shadow 181 00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:10.440 Heart's Covenant and like Lost Odyssey, that's about it. So 182 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:16.039 I think having any more like action but still turn 183 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:24.480 based system works better than this turn based Yeah, yeah, 184 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:25.600 you should get back to it. 185 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.279 I definitely will. I'm probably gonna write the review either 186 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.320 start writing the review either tonight or when we finished 187 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:39.159 recording or tomorrow, since I have to work in the 188 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.840 morning and then there's no overtime either, so I'll just 189 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:48.840 I'll have that time to just write. But yeah, so 190 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:49.960 that's the only game in plan. 191 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:54.360 Yeah. I caught back up a little on like Diablo 192 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:57.240 and all the other craft that I, you know, basically 193 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:00.120 my network off for, but I'm not that into it, 194 00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:05.279 especially Diabolo, just because they keep like, I think the 195 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.960 game is like partially bugged at this point because you're 196 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:12.080 supposed to get these like uh basically these like dungeon elixirs, 197 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.120 and one used to drop and now it doesn't at all, 198 00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:18.279 and I was like, what happened? I liked that one? Yeah, 199 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:21.320 and no one has said anything, so I'm like, what's 200 00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:25.480 going on here? And and Finny and Nikki continues to 201 00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:27.399 be a dumpster fire at the moment, so. 202 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:29.320 That's always nice. 203 00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:34.480 Yeah, Okay, I gave ut like a big apology of 204 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.039 saying like, oh, we we know the last update didn't 205 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:39.000 go well, it's like, yeah. 206 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:46.519 They didn't, all right, Well, yeah, so this game called 207 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:51.120 Nice Stay for Fishing. I had a trailer I think 208 00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:56.639 in the Galaxy showcase that I talked about several weeks ago, 209 00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.519 and then when I saw it, I was like, are 210 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:04.879 you kidding me? They've now made it a whether that's 211 00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:12.200 like eight bit or sixteen bit fishing RPG, right, I 212 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:18.240 so need to play this. So I actually got the code. 213 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:21.679 It's funny because I got the code originally like a 214 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:26.320 couple of weeks ago, and then last weekend, like when 215 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:28.440 I tried to put it, the code in that Friday, 216 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:37.320 so not this Friday, but last Friday, the the code 217 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:40.000 didn't work. It was an error. It kept saying that 218 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.639 I was I had a game that had not been 219 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:49.039 released yet, so they had to go bug Nintendo to 220 00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:53.679 make the code work right so that you know, I 221 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.759 could actually play it. So the first weekend I couldn't 222 00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:01.879 actually play it at all. It's aways fun So then 223 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.200 I officially got to start playing, I think like on Wednesday, 224 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:09.559 and then yeah, so I'm really not sure how long 225 00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:12.039 the game is but I'm about like halfway through because 226 00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:15.279 it one of the things in the game is you 227 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:19.240 get to it basically has a character. They rewards you 228 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:22.240 for catching all the fish in an area before you 229 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:25.000 you know, so it's shown me that there's like at 230 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:34.639 least a couple more areas, and so I think I'm 231 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.879 about halfway, if not a little bit more than that. 232 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:43.440 The game is essentially a it makes fun of RPG tropes, 233 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:47.559 but also it's very much almost like an MMO ish 234 00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:51.759 RPG where it's like, here's this quest, go do it. 235 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:55.759 Here NPC gives you another quest, go do it, and 236 00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:59.360 it's like just keeps doing that over and over and over. 237 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:02.120 It like it's almost like it's it's like doing it 238 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:05.720 almost like a joke, but then you know, it's also 239 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:10.639 just that's the game. So it's from the a dev 240 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:16.440 called Viva a Dirt Team. Seventeen's the publisher. I think 241 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.200 it's like twenty bucks, so it's not you know, uber 242 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:25.559 expensive either. It's on PlayStation PC and Switch, so not 243 00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:31.159 on Xbox at the moment. And yeah, I've been having 244 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:32.399 a lot of fun with it. Like I'm not a 245 00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:37.159 fishing person. Actually I do live with or you know, 246 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:43.840 there's a guy that stays that comes over quite often 247 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:47.759 that is does love the fish, so I showed him 248 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:51.919 the game and he's like, okay. They actually try to 249 00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:54.559 make it like you know sometimes you know, fishing when 250 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.360 you're actually getting the fish is a fight or whatever, 251 00:15:57.399 --> 00:15:59.720 and that's how they replicate the battles. It's pretty much 252 00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:05.360 like you're essentially button mashing to the rhythm of like, oh, 253 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:07.519 you're actually trying to get the fish out of the 254 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:12.120 water with the hook or whatever, so or the fishing lines, 255 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:15.519 so you're constantly your you're button mashing, and then it's 256 00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:17.879 the fish is turned to fight against you and you 257 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:20.240 have to try to block and you can parry also, 258 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:23.360 so it has a block and very mechanic as well. 259 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:31.759 You know, obviously not anywhere near the as it difficult 260 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:35.240 as Expedition thirty three or whatever, but it has one. 261 00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:38.720 Some of the fish can actually be a little bit 262 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:41.679 difficult to parry because they're they try to go like 263 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.159 the quick hits instead of like really long. So each 264 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:49.000 fish has their own mechanic of how they how you 265 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:51.679 do the block and the ferry. It's the same button 266 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:55.080 it's still be but you have to like guess, Oh, 267 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.120 are they gonna be the ones that take forever to 268 00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:00.440 pay to show the block or they to be the 269 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:02.519 ones that like try to do it really fast, So 270 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:06.920 you got to figure that out. There's also they also 271 00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:08.759 try to make it easy for you. There's an item 272 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:11.880 that you can get that essentially shows you when they're 273 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:13.880 going to attack you, so you can block and pair 274 00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:15.759 if you want. You can also remove it if you 275 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:17.680 don't want to use it to kind of make you 276 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:21.200 guess more so you know, you can make the challenge 277 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:22.440 as difficult as you want. 278 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:23.240 On that. 279 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:25.519 I don't know if it I didn't see any kind 280 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:30.079 of difficulty option, so I don't know if though I 281 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:34.039 went in eventually or whatever, this could easily get DLC 282 00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:39.680 if it does decently for them. But yeah, I've been 283 00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:43.720 enjoying it. Like it it some of the gags that 284 00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:47.920 they do, Like there's a gag where the guy your 285 00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:49.920 blacksmith keeps using his hammer and you have to go 286 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:53.200 like fish it out of a well or whatever, and 287 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:55.440 they do it over and over and over, and it's like, Okay, 288 00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.079 after the third or fourth one, it's like, Okay, this 289 00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:59.480 is really funny anymore. It's just kind of like right, 290 00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:02.599 it literally takes like ten seconds, but it's still like 291 00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:07.240 kind of like, Okay, this is kind of silly, but 292 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.400 you know, some of the humors funny, and you know, 293 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:15.559 I appreciate that that, you know, they put that in there. 294 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:21.279 I just enjoy like kind of going and fishing and 295 00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:26.079 getting the different fish and essentially like there's I don't 296 00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:28.559 know if there's another area, but there's like two main areas, 297 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:31.240 and you just get to keep going deeper and deeper 298 00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:33.759 and deeper and that's how you find the fish. And 299 00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:36.400 then there's another area that like you actually like platform 300 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:40.000 and do whatever through. My only issue that I've had 301 00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:41.519 with the game, which I think part of it, is 302 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:44.920 it's supposed to give you the experience of fishing, right, 303 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:47.680 Like they're not going to have fast travel in a 304 00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:50.200 game where the the point is for you to go 305 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:53.920 through and experience what it would be as a fisherman 306 00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:57.160 where you're going on the boat and you're getting the 307 00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:59.359 fish and then you're having to go back and take 308 00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:02.599 the boat back and then going back to your land 309 00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:05.119 or whatever. So I kind of get that point, but 310 00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:07.680 sometimes I wish there was like a fast travel of 311 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:10.960 how do I get to the other area, because it 312 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:13.039 gets kind of annoying to go on one boat go 313 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:14.880 all the way to the end of the area, get 314 00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:16.599 on another boat to go to the area where you 315 00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:19.400 want to be in. It's like, yeah, you know, I. 316 00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:20.759 Should be represented by drinking. 317 00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:24.960 Yeah, they could do like a loading screaming drink with 318 00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:29.079 the guy drinking. They could do yeah, but no. I 319 00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:32.000 definitely think if you like rpugs and you you're one 320 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.240 of those people with the likes just you like playing 321 00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:38.519 RPGs uh in different settings, I think this is kind 322 00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:43.000 of a it's a neat little indie game UH that 323 00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:46.599 lets you do fishing RPG right, you're not really okay, 324 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:49.839 so the mechanics don't really change much, which I think 325 00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:53.559 that kind of is an issue for people that that 326 00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:56.559 play RPGs Like it's a lot of the same over 327 00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.519 and over, but there is a strategy to it, and 328 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:02.599 you can make get harder and easier if you want. 329 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:09.359 I think the style of it is matches that as well. 330 00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:12.200 Some of the characters are funny. You eventually get to 331 00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:15.000 the point where you get to upgrade the shops or whatever. 332 00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:18.519 So you have a woodsman that if you bring all 333 00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:21.480 these items to them, you can build the shops or whatnot. 334 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:24.880 And you also don't run out of bait, like the 335 00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:28.240 bait will just essentially just keep refreshing itself. If you 336 00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:32.240 stand there for like twenty thirty seconds, you can go 337 00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:36.559 get the worms or the the garlic or the berries 338 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:39.119 or whatever, because there's different fish like different things. So 339 00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:43.400 I like that part too. It's not like you're having 340 00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:45.519 to go farm all this stuff every time it does 341 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:48.960 it for you. You do have to go farm the supplies 342 00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:54.160 for the different upgrades for the buildings and stuff, so 343 00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:57.119 that can kind of get a bit cumbersome if you're 344 00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:00.680 not too into that part and you just want to 345 00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.559 get the upgrades. But you know, sometimes you got to 346 00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:06.960 work for stuff you want. But overall, like I said, 347 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:09.839 I think it's it's I haven't really decided on a 348 00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:13.480 final rating for it yet, but it's definitely in that 349 00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:16.319 seven to eight range. I think I'm gonna see if 350 00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:19.640 I play more, maybe get to the end what I'll think. 351 00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:25.680 Really a story game, Yeah sounds like that. 352 00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:30.000 Yeah, they do live up to the fishing gimmick like 353 00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:32.480 they don't. There's a part where you platform, but it's 354 00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:34.039 not like he all of a sudden gets a sword 355 00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:37.119 and starts killing people. He is fishing the entire time. 356 00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:43.359 So I like the fact that they stayed on point. 357 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:44.839 Use the fishing fishing pull like a hook shot. 358 00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:47.759 Yeah no, but I mean it's not like it's not 359 00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:49.319 like they all of a sudden have you fight on 360 00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:51.920 land with the fishing hook or whatever. It's right, you 361 00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:56.759 everything you do has to do with either getting items 362 00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:59.599 that are replenishing, like the bait, or you have to 363 00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:03.920 go and fish for it, So they stay on it 364 00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:07.920 all the time. It's just how they mix that up. 365 00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:11.319 You know, it can kind of get it can't get 366 00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:14.640 a little bit repetitive, so like that, I mean also 367 00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:22.079 fishing is repetitive, but you know, right, so like that's 368 00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.680 part of it too. So your your variance with that 369 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:29.880 may vary. Some people may not ever get bored and 370 00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:33.079 it's a nine out of ten game for you, and 371 00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:36.240 some people may kind of. Again, this is why sometimes 372 00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:39.000 it's hard as a reviewer when you're having to like 373 00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:43.240 play the game faster than you normally would, because this 374 00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:45.079 is really a game that feels like it's meant to 375 00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:48.359 be played in spurts. It's not meant for you to 376 00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:51.200 play it for ten hours it feels like it's really 377 00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:53.880 meant for you to play to like two to three 378 00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:58.799 hours whatever, stop, come and play again or whatever. It 379 00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:02.480 doesn't lend itself that well, So playing overly long because 380 00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:06.440 again you're going to feel that repetition. But overall, I mean, 381 00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:09.000 I enjoyed my time with it, and I'm again always 382 00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:10.880 a good thing when you're reviewing a game, that it 383 00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:13.759 winds up being an enjoyable experience and not something that 384 00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:16.920 like you're like, oh my god, why you know? So 385 00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:21.079 always good for that and that I've been playing on Switch, 386 00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:25.359 so this might be my last new Switch game before 387 00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:26.920 I get to the Switch to. 388 00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:31.880 Just make it your first Switch two game. 389 00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:36.200 That's gonna be uh some of a Chronicles X. I 390 00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:37.960 feel like, I think I'm just not going to touch 391 00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.759 that until Switch to which I don't know why they're 392 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:47.400 not giving it that that sixty frames per second patch 393 00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:48.799 that we know is there. 394 00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:50.279 And I need it. 395 00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:53.680 Maybe maybe not. I I just they have not said 396 00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:57.640 anything about that the system will update your games by itself, 397 00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:00.000 like that it's going to make the games run better 398 00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:02.920 by themselves, so we'll see. I'm wondering if we're going 399 00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:04.920 to get that surprise. So we'll talk about that later 400 00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:08.319 when we probably more so next week when we talk 401 00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:12.200
