Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to episode fifty eight of Game Spot
Speaker 1: After Dark. I'm your host, Jake Decker, and this is
Speaker 1: GameSpot's official video game podcast.
Speaker 2: Joining me this week is.
Speaker 1: Lucy James, Hello, Callie Plaguey Hi, and Jean Luke Sypeke.
Speaker 2: Hello. This week, well, there's a lot of news.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about all the xboxes that were announced
Speaker 1: or you know, finally shown off and given a date
Speaker 1: and price and all that good stuff.
Speaker 2: Plus we got some Call of Duty stuff.
Speaker 1: But before we get into that, we're going to talk
Speaker 1: about what we've been playing or doing.
Speaker 2: Kelly, do you want to kick it off? Sure.
Speaker 3: I've been playing a game called World's End Club, which
Speaker 3: is currently on Apple Arcade. It's by the creator of
Speaker 3: Donkan Rampa. So I was really excited to start it,
Speaker 3: and I was pretty surprised at how I mean, I
Speaker 3: guess it's not surprised, but I don't know. I was
Speaker 3: surprised that it was still very dong Ganarampa like, and
Speaker 3: knowing the dong Rappa series, I don't think that's a
Speaker 3: bad thing because even when you think it's predictable, it's
Speaker 3: really not predictable. So basically, like Don and Arappa. The
Speaker 3: premise is like children locked in a place and they
Speaker 3: have to kill each other to get out. But this
Speaker 3: one is it's interesting because like everyone has like a
Speaker 3: wristband that has someone else's task on it, and they
Speaker 3: each have these tasks they have to complete to like
Speaker 3: escape the place they're locked in. But you don't have
Speaker 3: your own, you have somebody else's. So the game is
Speaker 3: like do you trick someone into giving you the information?
Speaker 3: But if they fail to do their task, they die,
Speaker 3: So it's it's interesting. I'm still pretty early. The music
Speaker 3: is very don Gan Rampa. The characters are very dug rapa,
Speaker 3: like very like anime archetypes kind of characters, and literally
Speaker 3: their names are like Kansi and he's the one who
Speaker 3: speaks with the Kansi dialect and Annie Key and he's
Speaker 3: like the big brother. But I'm enjoying it. It's also
Speaker 3: coming to switch later, so it's just an Apple Arcade
Speaker 3: for now. I don't know, I just really needed I
Speaker 3: love Donan Rampa so much, And don A Uppa V.
Speaker 3: Three ends like kind of like that's the end of
Speaker 3: the series. I mean, I guess there's it's possible it
Speaker 3: wouldn't be, but that's that's kind of how it wraps up,
Speaker 3: and so it's nice to get like a different killing game.
Speaker 3: I I'm just very happy.
Speaker 4: How you Yeah, I was gonna say, no, how have
Speaker 4: you been playing Paradise Killer?
Speaker 3: I really want to play Paradise Killer, I.
Speaker 4: Ask the killing game although you're solving crime, Yeah, that
Speaker 4: I want to jump into.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, when I say killing game, I mean it
Speaker 3: in the Dongan Rampa sense, which is that a small
Speaker 3: animal makes you kill your friends, but not the Metaino
Speaker 3: way that I'm meant to. Yeah, but uh yeah, Paradise
Speaker 3: Killer is definitely on my list. I have my PC now,
Speaker 3: I didn't have it for a while, but I don't
Speaker 3: really have a good place to set it up where
Speaker 3: I am. I don't really have like a proper desk,
Speaker 3: so I need to figure out where I can set
Speaker 3: up my PC and how I can make that work.
Speaker 3: I also spilled coffee all over my keyboard this morning,
Speaker 3: so we'll see how that goes. But that's that's really
Speaker 3: high up of my list for sure.
Speaker 2: Nice John Luke, what about you?
Speaker 5: I have been playing tell me why the new Donod
Speaker 5: game that By the time this podcast is up, the
Speaker 5: final third episode will be out. I've only played the
Speaker 5: first episode, so I can't really speak to the whole
Speaker 5: whole game, but I really really like it so far.
Speaker 5: I think it's got a great hook for those who
Speaker 5: aren't aware. The premise of the game is you play
Speaker 5: as a pair of siblings twins.
Speaker 6: One is trans and the other is.
Speaker 5: The out and they are reuniting after ten years of
Speaker 5: being away, and they're they're going back to their old
Speaker 5: their old town to kind of deal with their their
Speaker 5: past and the I don't know, I'm trying to avoid.
Speaker 5: I don't know if I should like really get into it,
Speaker 5: but I guess the game kind of says at the
Speaker 5: beginning basically their their mom gets killed by one of
Speaker 5: them at the beginning of the game, and it's kind
Speaker 5: of like the ramifications of that's it.
Speaker 6: Gets pretty heavy. There's there's a lot to it.
Speaker 5: But I absolutely love the characters, and I think kind
Speaker 5: of like the directions, the you know, plots going are
Speaker 5: really interesting and I'm like super curious, like kind of
Speaker 5: to to.
Speaker 6: See where all that goes.
Speaker 5: Like the relationships with the kids and each other is
Speaker 5: really interesting, the relationship with the mom is really interesting.
Speaker 3: And like the trans characters like him being trans Is
Speaker 3: it actually like really part of the plot at all,
Speaker 3: It's just like that's who he is.
Speaker 5: It's yes and no, yes and no, like the the
Speaker 5: So I would say they do a really I think personally,
Speaker 5: I think they've they so far do a really good job.
Speaker 6: With the character Tyler is their name?
Speaker 3: His name?
Speaker 6: His name? Yes?
Speaker 5: Sorry, he is like a really well conceived character. I
Speaker 5: think they they do a good job like making that
Speaker 5: a part of his identity because it's part of the
Speaker 5: plot without it feeling like that's just their whole identity.
Speaker 5: I guess that you tracked that. I think a lot
Speaker 5: of media falls into Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm going off of our review of it, which is
Speaker 3: a review of the entire three all three episodes. I
Speaker 3: didn't play. I haven't played the game. I just edited
Speaker 3: the review, but Justin Clark was the reviewer, and he
Speaker 3: just talked about how like it's not a game where
Speaker 3: like you have to watch people be transphobic to this
Speaker 3: character kind of thing.
Speaker 2: No is what I meant.
Speaker 5: Like totally, there are elements of that that does pop up,
Speaker 5: and I would say that is something to be wary
Speaker 5: of your level of like sensitivity towards that. I mean,
Speaker 5: the the stuff that happens in the past with the
Speaker 5: mom directly relates to that. There's definitely stuff like that,
Speaker 5: So it's like I would be wary of that, but
Speaker 5: I do think overall, you know, compared to other media,
Speaker 5: I think they handle it so well. Obviously, that's not
Speaker 5: my decision to make in terms of like how well
Speaker 5: they do it as a straight person, straight white person, but.
Speaker 6: Non transperson.
Speaker 3: Well, they do have a big FAQ on their website, right,
Speaker 3: Like the developers have like this huge thing that answers
Speaker 3: questions to help to help you figure out if it's
Speaker 3: within your comfort level, which I think is really cool.
Speaker 5: Yes, I think that's awesome, and they do really smart
Speaker 5: things like, for example, despite the fact that there are
Speaker 5: scenes that take place in the past when Tyler was
Speaker 5: kind of still figuring themselves out, they never dead name
Speaker 5: him and they have a really clever way around it,
Speaker 5: which I thought was really cool, And that was something
Speaker 5: like that's awesome, Like you can tell that they really
Speaker 5: did their research, they consulted a lot of people on it.
Speaker 3: That was something that I saw a lot of criticism
Speaker 3: of the trans character in the last of Us Part two,
Speaker 3: because you do hear that character's dead name so, and
Speaker 3: I think people have differing opinions on it. But that's
Speaker 3: a cool thing I think about. Don't not has that fact?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I always say fact, but I know it's faq. But anyway,
Speaker 3: they have all those questions about the character, and one
Speaker 3: of them is does the character get dead named? And
Speaker 3: they answer that no, no, he doesn't. And I think
Speaker 3: that's the kind of thing I was referring to, like
Speaker 3: that you can really assess your comfort level. But also,
Speaker 3: John Luke, I wanted to ask you, because I know
Speaker 3: you're a really big fan of Life is Strange. How
Speaker 3: does it compare like coming off of those games, Like
Speaker 3: does it meet your expectations so far?
Speaker 6: It does.
Speaker 5: Like I said, I'm only in the first episode, and
Speaker 5: I think there's still a lot to it it without
Speaker 5: getting into it, there is also a supernatural element, which
Speaker 5: I actually wasn't expecting them to do. I kind of
Speaker 5: figured they would it would be a little more grounded,
Speaker 5: But there is a supernatural element, although I think it's
Speaker 5: a more subtle supernatural element that can lead to some
Speaker 5: interesting gameplay. I think they're doing some interesting stuff with it,
Speaker 5: where like you play as both siblings, So you'll go
Speaker 5: back and forth between the siblings and you'll have these
Speaker 5: situations where you can kind of dictate how the siblings
Speaker 5: feel about certain events and certain characters and the relationship
Speaker 5: with each other. There's this interesting mechanic where basically, like
Speaker 5: the siblings are remembering what happened, and they both kind
Speaker 5: of remember it differently, and then you, as the player,
Speaker 5: kind of choose which one you want to be, like
Speaker 5: the path you're going to go forward with, like which
Speaker 5: this is the one that we're going to decide happened,
Speaker 5: and that be the way we ask this person questions
Speaker 5: about it, which I think is super cool, and I'm
Speaker 5: it only happened once in the first episode, so like,
Speaker 5: I'm curious to see how that builds over the rest
Speaker 5: of the game. I'm also interested it's been touched on,
Speaker 5: but not enough. I'm hoping there's more in it later.
Speaker 5: It takes place in Alaska, and there's also a Native
Speaker 5: American element to it, so I believe the main characters
Speaker 5: are also Native American. I know there's a couple that are.
Speaker 5: They they kind of talk a little bit about sort
Speaker 5: of like the culture and aspects of that, but it's
Speaker 5: they've kind of kept it to a minimum in the
Speaker 5: first episode, so I'm curious how that comes into play later.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're indigenous Alaskan, right.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, but I really I really like it.
Speaker 6: So if I love the characters as as.
Speaker 1: Someone who's not really interested in the doptknot games like
Speaker 1: Life Is Strange didn't really grab me. I do like
Speaker 1: that this is like an episodic game that's released on
Speaker 1: it seems like it's being released on a weekly basis,
Speaker 1: or maybe it's a bi weekly basis or something like that,
Speaker 1: because that just seems like the way to go. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know there's a business and development reason why you'd
Speaker 1: space them out for longer periods of time, but I
Speaker 1: do kind of like that it seems more like a
Speaker 1: TV show where you can check in every week rather
Speaker 1: than waiting three four months for the next episode.
Speaker 5: I one hundred percent agree because I think in the
Speaker 5: case of like tell Tale, they would literally like they'd
Speaker 5: have like a skeleton, but like they would be like
Speaker 5: finishing those episodes as they were coming out, and this
Speaker 5: is much more like, Okay, the whole.
Speaker 4: Thing Strange Season one was the exact same. Yeah, like,
Speaker 4: and I think some of that game, like it slipped
Speaker 4: as well, and so some episodes didn't even come out
Speaker 4: in time. I think originally it was meant to be
Speaker 4: like every month, every two months, but yeah, they work
Speaker 4: on those right down to the water.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and because of that, like sometimes stuff changes in them,
Speaker 5: which it doesn't necessarily need to be a bad thing
Speaker 5: that sometimes that could be a good or interesting thing.
Speaker 5: But yeah, you can tell like, Okay, this is clearly
Speaker 5: like a finished thing that they just intentionally split into
Speaker 5: three parts to kind of like break up the pacing,
Speaker 5: because it's like you can play it on one go,
Speaker 5: but then like once you're done, you're like, oh, that
Speaker 5: was a lot. I need to like process that and
Speaker 5: then you can go back next week and pick up
Speaker 5: the next part. So I'm very excited to play the
Speaker 5: other two parts because I I'm really enjoying it, and
Speaker 5: I hope it picks up because I honestly haven't seen
Speaker 5: many people talk about it. I don't know if it's
Speaker 5: just kind of like the timing in which it's coming out.
Speaker 5: It's on game Pass, so it's like if you have
Speaker 5: that both PC and Xbox, I highly recommend it.
Speaker 2: How long was episode one?
Speaker 5: I want to say maybe like three hours. We like
Speaker 5: poke around everywhere, you know, and like, yeah, listen to
Speaker 5: every piece of dialogue. So probably somewhere between two and
Speaker 5: three hours, depending on how you play it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it definitely seems like don't not too it's kind
Speaker 1: of figured out that formula. Like, I mean, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of reasons why Telltale kind of went under, but
Speaker 1: I feel like dough Nut has like really figured out
Speaker 1: that cadence and how to release those kind of games.
Speaker 1: It kind of seemed like tell Tale was kind of
Speaker 1: like flying by the seat of their pants, which you know,
Speaker 1: this is just speculation, but I've seen the documentaries, I've
Speaker 1: read a lot of reports about it, and it just
Speaker 1: kind of seemed like they were like, all right, let's
Speaker 1: try to We've got that episode done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's just let's just keep running.
Speaker 1: And I feel like it's also much better on the workers,
Speaker 1: you know, to be like all right, we're done, we
Speaker 1: can take a break. We don't need to jump right
Speaker 1: into the next episode. But anyway, Lucy, how is Batu?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 6: Wait? Is it?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 5: Is it the is bo to an actual planet in
Speaker 5: Star Wars? Or is it the like the thing you
Speaker 5: go do in the Disneyland Park in Disneyland, Like, I
Speaker 5: don't what is they don't know.
Speaker 3: How canonical it is.
Speaker 4: Actually, so I like Star Wars a reasonable amount. That
Speaker 4: sounds like weird, but like I watched the movies as
Speaker 4: a kid. I've seen them a bunch, obviously seeing the
Speaker 4: new trilogy, but they're not like the be all and
Speaker 4: end all for me. I you know, I was watching
Speaker 4: The Princess Bride more than I was watching Star Wars
Speaker 4: when I was growing up. I never watched them over
Speaker 4: and over again. So I have a decent knowledge of
Speaker 4: Star Wars. And actually I'm sure I've talked about in
Speaker 4: the podcast before, but like, one of the coolest things
Speaker 4: I've ever done is go to an interactive Star Wars
Speaker 4: experience called Secret Cinema in the UK, where you're basically
Speaker 4: given a role and you go around like they recreate
Speaker 4: the set, like they recreated the interior of the Death Star,
Speaker 4: they recreated Tatooine, and you basically play out the whole
Speaker 4: of a New Hope but you do quests and stuff
Speaker 4: and like it's super super cool and they perfectly don't
Speaker 4: let you take pictures of it because they want to
Speaker 4: keep the secret. But you have like quest lines as
Speaker 4: you go through it. So it's basically like working your
Speaker 4: way through Star Wars in New Hope. That's my experience.
Speaker 4: I allowed to talk about it now because it was
Speaker 4: like four years ago, but it was super super cool.
Speaker 4: Like I did the Blade Runner on as well. I
Speaker 4: got arrested during the Blade Runner one because they thought
Speaker 4: I was a replicant, and then you meet random characters
Speaker 4: from the movies and they give you a quests. So
Speaker 4: like for Star Wars one, I had to go to
Speaker 4: Uncle Owen and trade droid parts with him, and then
Speaker 4: I had to go and find like Han, Solo and Chewy,
Speaker 4: but they were in prison. They were doing something. Then
Speaker 4: I finally made my way to the Death Star and
Speaker 4: I saw Lea. It's really really cool. So that's my
Speaker 4: Star Wars experience. So Journey to Batu is more like
Speaker 4: what I assume Galaxy's Edge is, Like, it's taken a
Speaker 4: lot of inspiration of Galaxy's Edge. Again, a little insight
Speaker 4: into me is that I could have gone to Galaxy's
Speaker 4: Edge like the second week it opened, because my friends
Speaker 4: got like tickets on the lottery and we always go
Speaker 4: to Disneyland. But I didn't go because it was in
Speaker 4: eight a m. And I just didn't care that much.
Speaker 4: So I'm worry with Star Wars. I didn't want to
Speaker 4: have to get up at six am to go to
Speaker 4: the drive to Anaheim uh and do it. So Jenny
Speaker 4: to Battoo is a very weird one for Sim's expansion
Speaker 4: pack because they've done these like tie ins with other
Speaker 4: stuff before, Like everyone remembers the Katy Perry fucking.
Speaker 2: Kerry.
Speaker 4: Yeah, sweet treats, like there's Ikea, there's h and M,
Speaker 4: there's uh, there's been knitting. Is a weird pack, but
Speaker 4: it's very it's like wholesome, but like the Star Wars stuff,
Speaker 4: it just doesn't it sticks out so much. And Battou
Speaker 4: is an area is very very empty, like, uh so
Speaker 4: it's playing yesterday and I made a house and like
Speaker 4: the new having some of the Star Wars stuff is
Speaker 4: really cool and you can bring like little stuffed porks
Speaker 4: back as souvenirs from because it's basically like a vacation place.
Speaker 4: You can bring the porgs back and you can build
Speaker 4: your own lightsaber and stuff. But when you actually go
Speaker 4: to back too, it's very very empty and there's a
Speaker 4: very few of the buildings you can actually go inside.
Speaker 4: Like you get these little missions and like the first
Speaker 4: mission you get to it says okay, go to the
Speaker 4: CANTEENA or get some food from this place. You don't
Speaker 4: actually go inside. You stand outside and a pop up
Speaker 4: comes up and says, what do you want to pick?
Speaker 4: And there's all these Star Wars related food and you
Speaker 4: just pick it and then you you don't even like
Speaker 4: eat it, it's just there. And so they have little
Speaker 4: quest lines. You can be in the First Order, you
Speaker 4: can be in like you can be a scoundrel, or
Speaker 4: you can be in the Resistance, and to do those
Speaker 4: like those little missions are kind of like go talk
Speaker 4: to this person's bread. First Order propaganda's.
Speaker 3: Great, you will do real.
Speaker 4: You actually get an interaction that as you inspect the
Speaker 4: ID badges of suspicious individual. But like, so I did
Speaker 4: the First Order stuff, and like the one thing I'll
Speaker 4: say that it has going for is like there's music
Speaker 4: in there. When you talk to stormtroopers they speak in
Speaker 4: simlish but through the little stormtrooper mask. It's very cute.
Speaker 4: There are some characters in there that you can meet,
Speaker 4: Like I met Ray because I was just watching her
Speaker 4: do a bunch of lightsaber training. That was cool, and like,
Speaker 4: I guess that's the kind of thing that you get
Speaker 4: from the parks, right, is that you like you get
Speaker 4: to see the characters, get picture taken with them, whatever.
Speaker 4: But the park itself, and I'm referring to it as
Speaker 4: the park because it's not Star Wars. It's a Galaxy's
Speaker 4: Edge pack. It's sadly really empty and like the Millennium
Speaker 4: files there, you can't go inside it. You go and
Speaker 4: scan it, scan the Millennium falcon and it's.
Speaker 3: Like that, but that's like that's like Galaxy's Edge though.
Speaker 3: You look at the Millennium Falcon and you're like, there
Speaker 3: it is. Yeah, I saw it.
Speaker 4: For me, It's like it's confusing as to who this
Speaker 4: pack is for, because if you are a big, big
Speaker 4: Star Wars fan, you would want more from it, but
Speaker 4: like if you're a casual fan like me, where it's like, oh,
Speaker 4: it is cool to have like the esthetics of this. Hey,
Speaker 4: I do think it's cool when you like the menu
Speaker 4: music is replaced by Star Wars music. I think that's cool.
Speaker 4: And like I did genuinely smile when I saw Ray,
Speaker 4: like because I was like, oh, I didn't even realize,
Speaker 4: like you know the characters were in it and she's
Speaker 4: there doing her thing. Oh, you can get a droid.
Speaker 4: That was cool. I have a little droid that just
Speaker 4: follows me around. Instead of BBA, I call him bb
Speaker 4: oh my little baby h and then bbbb I sounded
Speaker 4: I stunded more like Dexter from Dexter's It's just a
Speaker 4: very strange choice for a pack. But you can play.
Speaker 4: You can have Sims. What are those aliens called with
Speaker 4: the big we're making emotion. Yeah, you can have like
Speaker 4: you can be one of those, and you have like
Speaker 4: different costumes and stuff that are locked after whatever rank
Speaker 4: you are within the faction. Overall, it's a weird one.
Speaker 4: I think I want to play it again and see,
Speaker 4: but like take a family because I just took like
Speaker 4: a solo female sim there, But I would I would
Speaker 4: be interested to see if like I took a family
Speaker 4: of Sims and the kids were like.
Speaker 6: Oh, like it's like a for the park.
Speaker 4: Really does and it's really unfortunate the park is getting
Speaker 4: closed for a substantial amount of time, right, yeah, because
Speaker 4: like there's no like in making magic in SIMS.
Speaker 3: One.
Speaker 4: For example, when you would go to magic Town, there
Speaker 4: would little roller coasters and you could just like they
Speaker 4: with stupid like tiny little roller coasters, but you could
Speaker 4: be sims In and like there's nothing like that in
Speaker 4: this unless the reason I've missed it. But then even
Speaker 4: getting around the park is kind of difficult because nothing's.
Speaker 3: That It's like, I mean, that's kind of reflective of
Speaker 3: the actual Galaxy's Edge, which I've been to, and like
Speaker 3: basically everything you mentioned in that expansion is is what
Speaker 3: you do at Galaxy Sege. You go get blue milk
Speaker 3: at a stand, the canteena is there.
Speaker 4: You can they do the cantina too. They have a
Speaker 4: cant you.
Speaker 3: Can build a droid, you can build a lightsaber. You
Speaker 3: look at the Millennium Falcon, and then you go to
Speaker 3: the one main ride, which I couldn't Like I did it,
Speaker 3: but I closed my eyes the whole time because it
Speaker 3: maybe really motion sick, but I could. It's it's a
Speaker 3: stationary like ship that you go in and and it
Speaker 3: doesn't like it moves, but it's not like a coaster.
Speaker 3: It moves like in place kind of So that's but
Speaker 3: but I mean, maybe like that is who this pack
Speaker 3: is for, is like Disney Girls, like just like.
Speaker 4: Calmt buy ears, though I don't think so much.
Speaker 3: The ears are.
Speaker 4: I think it's like I an't. I was very kind
Speaker 4: of given a code. Uh Sam's change. I want to say,
Speaker 4: it's like thirty.
Speaker 3: Bucks a standard expansion pack.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it's twenty so it's foul. That's pretty good.
Speaker 4: But like, yeah, it's it's you know, it's cute. It's
Speaker 4: just it feels. It feels very weird.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't see how the Star War stuff would really
Speaker 4: ingratiate into like a regular SIMS play, you know, like
Speaker 4: unless you you go to Batuo. It's cool you go
Speaker 4: to the canteena seal that stuff. But like if I'm
Speaker 4: just like on the home lot, I don't know how
Speaker 4: much of it's going to really.
Speaker 3: Are there any skills you can learn, like like you
Speaker 3: can't like learn anything special from going there.
Speaker 4: I think you can learn, Yeah, you can learn, you
Speaker 4: get a lightsaber and you can challenge people to jewels.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you can increase proficiency in that.
Speaker 2: I didn't do it enough well anyway. I've been playing.
Speaker 1: Playing Kingdoms of Vamula re Reckoning, which is interesting because
Speaker 1: I didn't like that game that much when it first
Speaker 1: came out and everyone said it was really good.
Speaker 2: At least a lot of people did.
Speaker 1: The only reason I played it was because there was
Speaker 1: an ad for it in Mass Effect two or three.
Speaker 2: One of them. Yeah, it was like, yeah, I think
Speaker 2: it was three, but it was like, make sure you
Speaker 2: check out where this game is from.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they are like a bunch of boys in Rhode
Speaker 5: Island shipped out disarmor to you Shepherd.
Speaker 6: I remember the email.
Speaker 1: And I was like, Okay, well, maybe this remaster is
Speaker 1: the chance to give it another shot. Nah, I don't
Speaker 1: like it. I still don't like it, and I even
Speaker 1: played the original. I went back to the original just
Speaker 1: to see, like part of this is is my bias,
Speaker 1: I guess, and the fact that I just don't like
Speaker 1: this game. But I did go back to the original
Speaker 1: because I had it on Steam and I want to
Speaker 1: take a look at it. And I almost like how
Speaker 1: the Steam version looks more or not the Steam version,
Speaker 1: but the original version, like the like like I mean,
Speaker 1: having you know, four K and stuff like that is
Speaker 1: nice with this new version. But like, for some reason,
Speaker 1: I like the lighting in the original more.
Speaker 2: I like the way the colors are.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean like I played them both
Speaker 1: on max settings, and I was like, yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I kind of like the original more.
Speaker 5: But Man's that's how I felt about Saints Bro the
Speaker 5: Third as well. I was kind of like, I kind
Speaker 5: of like the look at the original better, even though
Speaker 5: it's likely better.
Speaker 1: At least, like the Saints Row remaster looks like a
Speaker 1: lot of work was put into it to make it
Speaker 1: look like it was. This doesn't seem like it, at
Speaker 1: least from what I can tell.
Speaker 2: Like, all the UI is pretty much the same.
Speaker 1: They've just made it bigger, which is nice, but like
Speaker 1: all the button prompts are the same, Like they look
Speaker 1: like an old three sixty controller button prompts, which is strange.
Speaker 1: They don't have Like, from what I could tell, the
Speaker 1: start buttons weren't what they should be on an Xbox
Speaker 1: one controller.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: Small stuff, but it was just like something that you'd
Speaker 1: think you'd do in a remaster, especially when it wasn't
Speaker 1: just like you know, it was re reckoning.
Speaker 2: They like made kind of a big deal out of
Speaker 2: this remaster to an extent.
Speaker 1: I think the thing that most people will like is
Speaker 1: that you don't need to connect to EA servers in
Speaker 1: order to start up the game. I don't think you
Speaker 1: need to be connected to play the original game, but
Speaker 1: when you started, it's going to be like connecting the
Speaker 1: EA servers with this one. It's this THHQ Nordic. You
Speaker 1: just started up and go right into it. So that's
Speaker 1: kind of nice.
Speaker 2: But I don't know. Forty bucks.
Speaker 1: I think if you, if you really like this game,
Speaker 1: maybe just replay the original or wait for the price
Speaker 1: to go down, because I.
Speaker 2: I didn't notice much, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe if maybe fans of the series will tell
Speaker 1: me I'm wrong and they're.
Speaker 5: Adding like an expansion for it, but it's coming out
Speaker 5: later like next year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so, like.
Speaker 6: Maybe wait for that. Yes, you're like a huge fan,
Speaker 6: I guess. I don't know.
Speaker 2: It was like the Way to Go.
Speaker 5: I also I never finished the original game, Like I
Speaker 5: liked it enough, but I because like I remember like
Speaker 5: it reminded me of Fable and the way like you
Speaker 5: ran around and like the combat. But then like I
Speaker 5: remember a lot of the side quests and like the
Speaker 5: question in general feeling very like basic and like I
Speaker 5: kind of got bored of it after a while.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did some of them and a lot of
Speaker 1: the side quests just like ended almost exactly as I expected,
Speaker 1: and if there was a twist, it was just kind
Speaker 1: of like, oh, yeah, of course, this guy who's been
Speaker 1: gone for months is actually bad.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, I wasn't super impressed.
Speaker 1: I've only played about four hours of it, so you know,
Speaker 1: maybe it gets better.
Speaker 3: But not for me.
Speaker 1: But anyway, that's what we've been playing. And we're gonna
Speaker 1: move on to the topics for this week. All right,
Speaker 1: So it was a really big week this week, but
Speaker 1: we're gonna start with the big news. The Xbox Series
Speaker 1: S was leaked. The price, the box, and the release date.
Speaker 2: We're all leaked. Turns out everything that was leaked was true.
Speaker 2: Microsoft followed it.
Speaker 1: Up with the price and release date for the Series
Speaker 1: X coming out day and date. The Series S is
Speaker 1: three hundred dollars US and the Series X is five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars US. The big difference here, now, if you
Speaker 1: want like an in depth breakdown, it's probably not the place.
Speaker 2: To go to.
Speaker 1: But the big difference is that the S should run
Speaker 1: most games at fourteen forty p while the X should
Speaker 1: be able to do four K native and one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty frames.
Speaker 2: A second.
Speaker 1: Actually both can do one hundred and twenty frames a
Speaker 1: second depending on the game, but not every game will be.
Speaker 2: Optimized to run at one hundred and twenty frames a second.
Speaker 1: And the other big thing that I see a lot
Speaker 1: of people talking about that will probably talk about for
Speaker 1: sure is the hard drive space. The Series S has
Speaker 1: a five hundred and twelve gigabyte custom NVMe SSD while
Speaker 1: the x has a one terabyte. But I think we
Speaker 1: already knew that it is just the S that people
Speaker 1: were wondering about. I took some questions from the chat
Speaker 1: that we can kind of go over to guide this,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. The big thing that I really
Speaker 1: want to talk about is the fact that the Series
Speaker 1: S has a five hundred and twelve gigabyte SSD because
Speaker 1: I remember when the Xbox One launched, it had a
Speaker 1: five hundred gig hard.
Speaker 2: Drive and I thought that was absurd.
Speaker 1: I was like the size of games people are gonna
Speaker 1: be able to fit, like ten games on there max,
Speaker 1: And now games are even bigger, like you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Modern Warfare is like one hundred gigs, Red
Speaker 1: Dead Redemption is over one hundred gigs. Destiny is close
Speaker 1: to one hundred gigs, right, you can fit like four
Speaker 1: maybe five of those games and that's it. So I'm
Speaker 1: just baffled. I know they're trying to keep the costs down.
Speaker 1: I know that an en V ME SSDs are more expensive,
Speaker 1: especially these custom ones, but I just don't I don't know.
Speaker 1: I can't rat my head around that, Like, I don't
Speaker 1: know why they thought that was.
Speaker 2: A good idea.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 5: The even worse is that's the one that doesn't come
Speaker 5: with a disk drive. Yes, so like you have to
Speaker 5: get everything digitally to use that. I mean, I think
Speaker 5: they've said that, like there is a way to like
Speaker 5: connect an external drive, so I imagine.
Speaker 4: You can both of them. You can extend up to
Speaker 4: one terrorbyte, but only one terabytes. Those are the official series.
Speaker 4: Those are the official series ones that they have with Skames.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, so this series S and X. I
Speaker 1: guess the game's optimized for those consoles. You have to
Speaker 1: run it on in nv M E SSD. You can't
Speaker 1: do it off just an external drive. So it just
Speaker 1: seems so strange to me that, like the big thing
Speaker 1: they're pushing is how quick load times are.
Speaker 2: But you know you're gonna run out.
Speaker 1: Of space, and you're gonna start putting games on a
Speaker 1: regular hard drive that you plug in there, and your
Speaker 1: load times are just I mean, I'm sure they'll be faster,
Speaker 1: but they're still going to be loading off a maybe like.
Speaker 5: The idea would be, I guess if I was to
Speaker 5: like figure out a way to do it, is I
Speaker 5: would I would put previous generation.
Speaker 6: Games on like the external.
Speaker 5: So if I'm like backwards Compatible or Xbox One, I
Speaker 5: put them on there because then they don't need it.
Speaker 5: And I guess I would hope the system would have
Speaker 5: like a way you could transfer so you're like, oh,
Speaker 5: you know, I'm playing Call of Duty every day, so
Speaker 5: I'm going to put it on the main hard drive,
Speaker 5: the fast one, and then like when you're not using it,
Speaker 5: But maybe you don't want to like delete it because
Speaker 5: you don't want to like have to re download it
Speaker 5: and waste all your Internet. You could like transfer it
Speaker 5: over to like the external and then like transfer it back.
Speaker 6: I don't know. That's kind of a pain, but like.
Speaker 4: But the external is an SST too.
Speaker 2: The official one is, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the official one is going to be the but
Speaker 4: like so we just shot Generation Next and like Tim
Speaker 4: was saying that part of the reason file sizes is
Speaker 4: so bad on this gen is just because they're not
Speaker 4: they haven't been shoot what was already.
Speaker 2: Used compressed optimized.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like optimized properly. But apparently going forward for next gen,
Speaker 4: that is a concern that Xbox have. At least we
Speaker 4: obviously today's episodes all about Xbox, but like it is
Speaker 4: something that is being worked on. So I hope that's
Speaker 4: not just lip service and the game sizes are going
Speaker 4: to come down. Like Modern Warfare is that I had
Speaker 4: to delete everything that wasn't a war zone because I'm like,
Speaker 4: you would just taking up so much space on my
Speaker 4: hard drive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had to do the same thing because it's
Speaker 3: like I have to move on to other games. I
Speaker 3: have to play their games. I can't just like devote
Speaker 3: this space to this. I mean maybe xCloud is a like,
Speaker 3: is potential streaming a factor in.
Speaker 2: That in that size? Like that's a good point.
Speaker 4: Well, let's think because if you get like they also
Speaker 4: revealed the price, but they revealed the all access stuff.
Speaker 4: So twenty five bucks a month will get you a
Speaker 4: Series S game Pass Ultimate, which comes with EA Play
Speaker 4: game Pass, xCloud, and game Pass on PC. So maybe
Speaker 4: they just think like you're gonna be either churning through
Speaker 4: these games at a rate of knots and just like
Speaker 4: down on them, playing them and getting rid of them,
Speaker 4: maybe keeping a couple of games like a Destiny or whatever,
Speaker 4: like as your service game, or you're gonna just use
Speaker 4: xCloud and play more.
Speaker 5: I didn't even think about xCloud. That's probably what they're
Speaker 5: trying to push people to do then.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I think, I mean, that's my instinct is
Speaker 3: like keep the the hard drive size low and then
Speaker 3: you know, hope that people stream games more as a
Speaker 3: solution or just because that's the more convenient thing to do,
Speaker 3: or whatever the reasoning is. I don't know if they're
Speaker 3: necessarily trying to force your hand or anything, because they
Speaker 3: do have the external hard drive, but yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: I guess it's a factor.
Speaker 1: If you're going to get a discless, a disc driveless Xbox,
Speaker 1: you probably have pretty good internet speeds because you're going
Speaker 1: to be downloading games like Crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, ripped to Australia.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, this is not one for them.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's a good point that you bring up
Speaker 1: for sure. Overall, though, what did you guys think of
Speaker 1: a the whole the whole thing that you know happened
Speaker 1: on Monday night, and be like the Series X and
Speaker 1: S in general because overall, like I do really like
Speaker 1: the design of both of them. I know people had
Speaker 1: a bunch of memes making fun of the Series S design,
Speaker 1: but everyone's gonna make fun of console designs.
Speaker 2: That's just how it is.
Speaker 1: But I actually really like the Series S. I think
Speaker 1: it looks I think it looks great. The thing I
Speaker 1: like the most is the small size.
Speaker 4: Though yeah it's tiny. It's sixty percent smaller than the
Speaker 4: Series X, which is fifteen by fifteen, and then that
Speaker 4: he sends to me as high, so it's a beefy
Speaker 4: boy I like. I like the look of the Series
Speaker 4: X more purely because I've never owned a white console.
Speaker 4: All of my stuff is black, like my TV, my consoles,
Speaker 4: my camera, like everything is black in my room. And
Speaker 4: it just it wouldn't go. It wouldn't go, and so
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna buy one. Esthetics are important, but also
Speaker 4: I want to I want to be future proofed a
Speaker 4: little bit, because no doubt they will have some revision
Speaker 4: of both models at some point, Like I don't think
Speaker 4: this will be the last Xbox I buy. I'd like
Speaker 4: to be feature proved. I'm like another Inside Baseball one,
Speaker 4: but like I assume all codes will be digital, But
Speaker 4: like what if you do get a disc?
Speaker 6: I still like discs.
Speaker 5: I still like it's bums me out about the the
Speaker 5: s because it's like it's so affordable, Like I think
Speaker 5: that's like it's insanely affordable. But I go and I
Speaker 5: think that would make it so appealing to a lot
Speaker 5: of people. But I still think there's there's still a
Speaker 5: lot of people that like just don't have the internet
Speaker 5: to like download and play games regularly, and what could
Speaker 5: have been like a super affordable option for them is
Speaker 5: like just not possible because it doesn't have a disk drive.
Speaker 5: And it's like I understand like the reality of like
Speaker 5: that's kind of how they got the price to be
Speaker 5: where it is and like what they're trying to push,
Speaker 5: but it I don't know, that kind of bums me out.
Speaker 3: I I like small. I think I like the aesthetics
Speaker 3: of a smaller console. I like white technology, but my desk,
Speaker 3: like I'm also I have a lot of no my
Speaker 3: computer chassis is white. I don't know, I could probably
Speaker 3: pull it off I do a black and white sort
Speaker 3: of deal with my stuff. But yeah, the disc thing.
Speaker 3: I mean, there are definitely cases, even very recently, where
Speaker 3: digital codes were delayed and we were only able to
Speaker 3: start reviewing a game because we got a physical addition.
Speaker 3: That is entirely possible. I think, you know, I just
Speaker 3: think for my job it would be irresponsible of me
Speaker 3: to get one. That's discliss But what I prefer it.
Speaker 3: I mean probably I'm spread out across a lot of
Speaker 3: different platforms usually by necessity of whatever code I get,
Speaker 3: so like the size. While annoying, I could probably work
Speaker 3: around it because I'd be split between PlayStation and Xbox
Speaker 3: and IPC, So that's fine. I think it. It just
Speaker 3: comes down at a disc, even though I prefer disc
Speaker 3: was well, I.
Speaker 1: Guess speaking on that, we got a question from just
Speaker 1: a box here that says, now that we've seen all
Speaker 1: the next gen consoles, which designed you like the most,
Speaker 1: which designed you like the least?
Speaker 2: Ugly?
Speaker 6: So I love how ugly it is.
Speaker 4: I she got curves.
Speaker 1: I don't like the one the PS five of the
Speaker 1: disk drive. I'm fine with the other one, but for
Speaker 1: some reason, the disk drive one just I don't like it.
Speaker 1: That's probably my least favorite. My favorite is the series
Speaker 1: that's I think.
Speaker 4: I really hope the PS five comes in black. I
Speaker 4: know it shouldn't matter that much, but if I'm going
Speaker 4: to drop that much money on a machine like also,
Speaker 4: can we talk about the fact that i'mike if you,
Speaker 4: if you direct competitor drops an obscenely cheap version of
Speaker 4: their next gen console, it's probably not the time to
Speaker 4: drop that seven thousand dollars gold like place before you've
Speaker 4: actually announced to your own price point. That was wild
Speaker 4: to me. But no, I mean, which one I like?
Speaker 4: At least? I think. I don't dislike how the PS
Speaker 4: five looks, but I just prefer the Series X in
Speaker 4: terms of pure esthetic.
Speaker 2: It looks like something on Jesse Phayden's desk.
Speaker 4: Or something I was when we shot Generation Next earlier.
Speaker 4: I almost called it the.
Speaker 6: Nail because.
Speaker 2: Kelly, what about you?
Speaker 3: Oh? I think my favorite one is the Series S.
Speaker 3: I don't like the I like the all black, like
Speaker 3: the black look of the Series X, but I don't
Speaker 3: like the shape. I find it to be potentially cumbersome.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it would fit my shelf. Like
Speaker 3: there's a lot I think it's a hard shape to
Speaker 3: work around, just being kind of a.
Speaker 2: Tower, like taking the s from work to home. Not
Speaker 2: that anyone's going to work right now, but that would
Speaker 2: be so much easier than this black tower.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's probably my favorite. But I also like
Speaker 3: cute things, and I want my apartment to look cute
Speaker 3: and nice and like, so I'm just kind of a
Speaker 3: baby about that stuff. But I love blood. See that's
Speaker 3: the thing I have.
Speaker 6: I have.
Speaker 3: I have a war warring factions where I'm like, I
Speaker 3: love tiny, but I also love Goth. So which one
Speaker 3: is it?
Speaker 4: Tiny Goth?
Speaker 3: So I didn't mean to say that the black aesthetic
Speaker 3: is not cute. Well, I mean, I think it looks good,
Speaker 3: but cute is not the you know, if we're talking
Speaker 3: about like animal crossing, like that's that's cool in animal
Speaker 3: crossing language, it's not cute. That's kind of what I mean.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I have two warring aesthetics inside me, so
Speaker 3: I really struggle. But the PS five is hidious.
Speaker 1: Uh well then I guess kind of on that. Lucy
Speaker 1: kind of already answered this boat which version of which
Speaker 1: version of the GS staff more leaning towards And this
Speaker 1: is from Gray Fox even though I like the series more,
Speaker 1: I'm definitely getting the X Yeah, just yeah, because of
Speaker 1: what Kelly has said, what Lucy has said, like future
Speaker 1: proofing and us needing a disk drive just it.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I might reconsider it.
Speaker 1: If I wasn't working at GameSpot, maybe I would get
Speaker 1: the S instead, But honestly I probably wouldn't get either,
Speaker 1: just because all these games I can play on PC.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the X for sure for me. Everyone in agreeance,
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, agreeance agreement a.
Speaker 4: Gentleman's accord.
Speaker 1: Last question we have on the boxes is from Jacob McCourt.
Speaker 1: With the Xbox moving to a leasing model, do you
Speaker 1: think Sony tries the same in twenty twenty one or beyond?
Speaker 4: I hope so, I yeah, I hope so.
Speaker 1: Especially if Sony's gonna come out to the gate with
Speaker 1: a more expensive box, then they should probably do the
Speaker 1: leasing because.
Speaker 2: I have no idea what to expect for a price.
Speaker 2: I personally think it's gonna be six hundred dollars. But yeah,
Speaker 2: they'd be crazy to do that.
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 4: The thing with the like the Xbox leasing model is
Speaker 4: like there is an unbelievable amount of value there. You
Speaker 4: must assume that they are making a loss on every
Speaker 4: console sold and they're getting it back through subscription, like
Speaker 4: you've seen the numbers. There have been figures coming out
Speaker 4: like when xboxes their quarterly stuff, where like their subscriptions
Speaker 4: just up and up and up.
Speaker 2: But like.
Speaker 4: I wonder if Sony has the ability to do that,
Speaker 4: Like I don't know, Like Microsoft has spent an entire
Speaker 4: console generation building up to this, and Sony hasn't. Really
Speaker 4: I don't, I don't know. I don't know if there's
Speaker 4: would be the same, like and I don't know how
Speaker 4: much the like the PlayStation is going to cost, and
Speaker 4: if it is going to be more expensive and people
Speaker 4: are going to be paying more per month just for
Speaker 4: the console itself, if there was like leasing thing, Like
Speaker 4: they're already on the back foot, like they must be
Speaker 4: scrambling this week, Like I don't think. I mean, like
Speaker 4: Phil Spencer tweeted that this was all supposed to happen
Speaker 4: next week. I can't even imagine what's going on in
Speaker 4: Sony right now. Like this has been such a weird
Speaker 4: yeah next to Jen and don't haven't even so ideayet,
Speaker 4: Like it's been the longest gabe of chicken between the
Speaker 4: two of them, and I think Xbox handled it super
Speaker 4: super well, and I just really worry what Sony's Like.
Speaker 4: I mean, Sony gonna be fine. I can't worry about Corporation,
Speaker 4: but I just really wonder what they're going to come
Speaker 4: out with because for me, like the games that I'm
Speaker 4: more interested in are Sony, but like Xbox have got
Speaker 4: me with these price points and with everything and like
Speaker 4: EA play.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean that that is like the one
Speaker 1: thing like from a I don't know, a consumer perspective,
Speaker 1: if I had to pick one, I would definitely pick
Speaker 1: the PlayStation five just because the games that are coming
Speaker 1: out with that. Like that's the other thing with this
Speaker 1: series X, Like there are not really any launch games
Speaker 1: from what I know of, that are only for the
Speaker 1: Series X. So it's like, well, if these games run
Speaker 1: better on a Series X, they probably run just as
Speaker 1: good on my PC. And I know I keep coming
Speaker 1: back to that, but it for me personally, there's just
Speaker 1: not a lot of value in either of these boxes,
Speaker 1: So I'm more interested in a PS five. That being said,
Speaker 1: like I don't know the value is so good that
Speaker 1: it still makes me want to buy one anyway. The
Speaker 1: other big news This week was the Black Ops multiplayer reveal.
Speaker 1: They'll reveal to five maps and vehicles. They're not doing
Speaker 1: the Pick ten class system. War Zone progression should carry over,
Speaker 1: will carry over. It seems like most of your war
Speaker 1: zone progression will carry.
Speaker 2: Over CrossGen play.
Speaker 1: They mentioned lanes in their maps, which is something I
Speaker 1: didn't see in the gameplay because it looked like a
Speaker 1: lot of big open maps. And they said boots on
Speaker 1: the ground three times, but I know they did. They
Speaker 1: said it three times, but I missed the first ten minutes,
Speaker 1: so maybe they said it another time, but I heard
Speaker 1: three for sure, and I was like dying, like.
Speaker 4: They must be aware of that now though they must
Speaker 4: be aware of like I don't know, joke, like people
Speaker 4: laugh at that.
Speaker 1: I think there, what was it? Didn't they say that
Speaker 1: a lot in Black Ops. For they were like, boots
Speaker 1: on the ground, boots on the ground, yeah.
Speaker 3: No, World War two? Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think they did it in both.
Speaker 4: Because it came after Advanced Warfare, I want to say.
Speaker 4: And then they were like infinite warfare, yeah INFF. And
Speaker 4: then they were like, well now it's boots on the
Speaker 4: ground and it's the one thing that and levelation from
Speaker 4: whatever evolution, evolution. Those were the two like buzzwords.
Speaker 5: That's like a loves. They always had like their weird
Speaker 5: marketing terms. It was like strategic dismemberment in dead Space.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, revolution is one for the ages.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The interesting thing about them saying boots on the ground
Speaker 1: is that this seems like the most vehicle heavy call
Speaker 1: of duty I've seen.
Speaker 4: Boots on the pedal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that seems more like all the footage I've seen
Speaker 1: people are on like ATVs or they're on like they're
Speaker 1: on jet skis, And I'm just like, all right, I
Speaker 1: mean it's.
Speaker 2: Not really boots on the ground.
Speaker 1: But you know, at least you didn't say it a
Speaker 1: dozen times like in smoke plactations.
Speaker 3: I feel like when they say that, they just mean
Speaker 3: you can't double jump, Like yeah, like Black Ops three,
Speaker 3: you got so much ship for that, for the wall
Speaker 3: running and stuff, and.
Speaker 5: But that's like four years at this point, like they
Speaker 5: got to be so divorced from that now, like.
Speaker 6: About it.
Speaker 1: Another thing I noticed too watching the multiplayer is that
Speaker 1: enemies have health bars. I think they did that in
Speaker 1: a Black Ops game too, right, or like other players
Speaker 1: have health bars and you should get.
Speaker 2: Them four, which is something I do not like.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I'm excited for black Ops, but I
Speaker 1: saw that in multiplayer and I was just like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I don't like all they shit in
Speaker 1: my face when I'm playing a game like this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And they also talked about the time to kill
Speaker 3: being like really tight, so like your gun plays is good.
Speaker 3: Why do I need that health bar? Then, Like, if
Speaker 3: I'm going for like a hardcore mode or like a
Speaker 3: realism mode like really snappy time to kill, I don't
Speaker 3: need the health bar. You're down in one or two bullets,
Speaker 3: So what's the point.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they get rid of it in those modes,
Speaker 2: but I.
Speaker 3: Would hope so, well, yeah, reduced UI modes like I
Speaker 3: would only want to play on those though, because the
Speaker 3: health Like I don't Yeah, I don't think I need
Speaker 3: the illusion of spongy enemies in Call of Duty.
Speaker 1: Especially since like this is a this takes place in
Speaker 1: what the eighties, right, Like it's supposed to be a little
Speaker 1: more retro like if they had like you know, like
Speaker 1: a stylized UI health bar and.
Speaker 6: Numbers coming out and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like and like Infinite Warfare, it'd be like okay,
Speaker 1: because they got future tech that tells them that. But
Speaker 1: this is just like it's a cold war man, no
Speaker 1: one had health bars back then or ever.
Speaker 2: Anyway, it's been a day.
Speaker 4: It's been a really weird like for clarity, I say
Speaker 4: for clarity because we have none because California is orange today.
Speaker 4: We're recording on Wednesday, which is like the worst day
Speaker 4: so far. I woke up this morning at eight and
Speaker 4: I thought it was about three am because it was
Speaker 4: so dark, and I have an east facing window, so
Speaker 4: I get sunlight first thing in the morning. And I
Speaker 4: was like, oh, okay, this is weird. And it's just
Speaker 4: been orange all day and very miserable and stuffy. It's
Speaker 4: been such a weird day, and all this news is
Speaker 4: dropped and everyone's like, yes.
Speaker 3: We're all just like tired, we want breaks. We're like
Speaker 3: and the air is not breathable. It's just been a
Speaker 3: time I.
Speaker 4: Never wanted to go outside more than I have today
Speaker 4: during quarantine. Yeah, it's like, ooh, the spicy air.
Speaker 1: Any thing we want to say about what we saw
Speaker 1: in the Black Ops multiplayer reveal or should we move
Speaker 1: on uh really quickly.
Speaker 3: I think one mode that intrigued me was Fire Team.
Speaker 3: The one where it's like squads of four and there's
Speaker 3: I forget how many squads of four there are, but
Speaker 3: it's like you're up against multiple other squads of four.
Speaker 3: But it's not like battle Royalites like objective based modes,
Speaker 3: which I thought was really different for Call of Duty,
Speaker 3: and I was kind of intrigued by that. I just
Speaker 3: still can't, like I can't wrap my head around how
Speaker 3: the firefights and stuff are going to work in the setting.
Speaker 3: I know there's I know there were like it's called
Speaker 3: the Cold War because there weren't a lot of battles,
Speaker 3: but I mean there's still like stuff happening in clandestine
Speaker 3: operations and stuff. But I'm just having trouble getting past that.
Speaker 3: So it's one of those I think I might just
Speaker 3: have to like get my hands on it and see
Speaker 3: how it works and like if it gels together. But
Speaker 3: that mode did seem really interesting to me.
Speaker 2: Boots on the ground, hands on the sticks.
Speaker 3: You've been working on that one. This whole segment.
Speaker 2: I have not.
Speaker 1: If I had, I would have been disappointed.
Speaker 2: I probably just would to stop the podcast. Anyway.
Speaker 1: Let's move on to listener questions. All right, on to
Speaker 1: listener questions If you have a question for us, you
Speaker 1: can email us at after dark Podcast at GameSpot dot com,
Speaker 1: or you can join our discord server and there's a
Speaker 1: channel right there for all your question asking needs.
Speaker 2: Kelly, do you want to take the first one?
Speaker 3: Sure? This is from Rachel Acker. Rachel says, Hey, after
Speaker 3: Darker's My two main consoles are the PC and the switch.
Speaker 3: I recently resubscribed to game Pass on my Xbox and
Speaker 3: I am watching Yazy zero install in real time heal
Speaker 3: the issue.
Speaker 4: It took me so.
Speaker 3: Long to navigate the menus because I'm so used to
Speaker 3: the switch button scheme. When I was trying to click accept,
Speaker 3: I kept backing out and vice versa. Oh, that's a
Speaker 3: mood do you have? Do you all have this problem? Yes?
Speaker 3: Should I just cave and switch my button input? Also
Speaker 3: just wanted to add and if this gets read on
Speaker 3: the show, don't feel pressure to leave it in. Oh
Speaker 3: I haven't read this question yet, so we'll see.
Speaker 2: Howka that I read that.
Speaker 3: Air weekly podcast is such a ray of sunshine in
Speaker 3: my week. I work weird long hours in medical manufacturing
Speaker 3: and have been working a lot since Everyone Quarantine. Also,
Speaker 3: I love Callie's competitive poem on Breeding Guide. I have
Speaker 3: no interest in that line of gameplay, but I find
Speaker 3: it super fascinating fun to watch. I hope you and
Speaker 3: yours are safe and healthy. Again, it's from Rachel Agger.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Rachel. I genuinely didn't read this before. I'm so excited.
Speaker 4: A thank you, Rachel.
Speaker 3: Jake and I worked really hard on those videos that
Speaker 3: I want them to get more views on you please,
Speaker 3: so good tell your friend. But uh yes, I absolutely
Speaker 3: have that problem because, like I said, I play Animal
Speaker 3: Crossing every day and I have been for many, many months,
Speaker 3: and when I try, oh, the biggest thing, I started
Speaker 3: playing Bloodborne. I think I talked about this a couple
Speaker 3: of episodes ago. I started playing Bloodborne and I was
Speaker 3: like still using the Last of Us controls, like they
Speaker 3: were like the last PlayStation four game I played was
Speaker 3: the Last of Us Part two, And I'm playing blood
Speaker 3: Borne and I could not get anything right. I kept
Speaker 3: throwing them all the tops when I meant to do
Speaker 3: other things, and I was getting really frustrated and it
Speaker 3: didn't help. But it was also difficult. And then on
Speaker 3: top of that, you have like I don't know which
Speaker 3: button is confirmed and which button isn't and I'm pretty
Speaker 3: sure in Japan the Circle is confirmed and X is
Speaker 3: an excess. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, like we did an interview with the Resident
Speaker 1: Evil two developers, or we did like a let's play
Speaker 1: with them, and they were playing the US version and
Speaker 1: kept backing out of menus and stuff like that because circle.
Speaker 3: So it's not just you, Rachel, it is. It is
Speaker 3: that that torments me. Even Nintendo can't get it right.
Speaker 3: All their controllers are different. It crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I was gonna say, like Dark Sotols on
Speaker 1: switches particularly frustrating because like it switches A and B,
Speaker 1: so like you hold oh no, now it's confused in
Speaker 1: my head.
Speaker 2: So normally in Dark Souls you hold.
Speaker 1: B to run if you're playing on like an Xbox controller,
Speaker 1: But on a Nintendo Switch you hold A to run
Speaker 1: because it's in the same position of B on an
Speaker 1: Xbox controller. So in my head, I'm like, okay, I
Speaker 1: got to hit A to confirm, but it's actually no, no, no,
Speaker 1: see I can't do it. But it's really it's really frustrating.
Speaker 1: It's why I could not play that game on switch
Speaker 1: because my brain was just breaking.
Speaker 5: I think my brain like I've gotten to the point
Speaker 5: where if like I can tell the feel of the controller,
Speaker 5: like I kind of know. But because of that, I
Speaker 5: can't use the switch Pro controller on the PC. Like
Speaker 5: a couple times I'll like, oh, plug it in and
Speaker 5: use it because it is a good controller. The second
Speaker 5: I do that, it's like, I my brain gets horrible.
Speaker 2: Can flyers get crossed?
Speaker 6: Wires crossed?
Speaker 5: Actually a weird one. The Google Stadia controller, which I
Speaker 5: don't own Google Stadium, but when we got it at
Speaker 5: the office like last year, I was like testing it
Speaker 5: or something, and it actually feels a lot like the
Speaker 5: switch Pro controller and shape. So I kept hitting the
Speaker 5: wrong button because I kept thinking I had a switch
Speaker 5: controller in my hand.
Speaker 6: And I asked Michael.
Speaker 5: Who who was like doing stuff with that too, and
Speaker 5: he's like, dude, same, So like that's a thing. I
Speaker 5: guess you're just like you think it's you know, one thing.
Speaker 3: But no, I I want to know if there's anyone
Speaker 3: that out there who doesn't have this problem, who has
Speaker 3: a perfect brain, their brain can just process everything perfectly.
Speaker 3: If that's you, I want to hear from you, because
Speaker 3: you have a talent that nobody has.
Speaker 6: Teach us.
Speaker 1: Well, we got to answer the second part of this question,
Speaker 1: should I cave and switch my button input? I would
Speaker 1: say no, because the second you do that, you'll you'll
Speaker 1: be doing the other thing. At least the butts will win.
Speaker 6: That's exactly what I do.
Speaker 3: Do you change her button? No? No?
Speaker 6: No, no no.
Speaker 5: Like I'm with Jake, like all confuse myself. Like I'll
Speaker 5: do that with flight games, where like I'll start it
Speaker 5: and it'll be like inverted or something, and I'll be like, ah,
Speaker 5: this is annoying.
Speaker 6: I'll switch it.
Speaker 5: And then the second I switch it, it starts confusing
Speaker 5: me the other way, and I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, I gotta go back, and then you just uninstall it.
Speaker 6: And then you just install it.
Speaker 2: So I did it with Flight Simulator.
Speaker 3: Inverted controls really mess with me. I really can't handle that.
Speaker 1: What messes with me is vertical no horizontal when the
Speaker 1: game is horizontally inverted, because for some reason, it just
Speaker 1: doesn't register to me that it's inverted, even though I
Speaker 1: know it's like I don't know, my brain just cannot
Speaker 1: parse that information.
Speaker 2: Like I'm so confusing.
Speaker 6: I know what you mean.
Speaker 4: I played some Tony Hawk last weekend and it automatically
Speaker 4: had inverted the camera for me, and I was like, no,
Speaker 4: excuse me. I was like, I suck at Tony Hawk.
Speaker 4: But I was like, I'm uppolling at this, like oh
Speaker 4: my god. And then and I went into the menu
Speaker 4: and I was like, oh, that's why.
Speaker 2: That happened to me too.
Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking of when I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: when it does, I think that game had a horizontal
Speaker 1: inversion right, it's default.
Speaker 4: And I was like, what the hell?
Speaker 2: It just like it just threw me in a loop.
Speaker 2: I was like, no, this is right, right, No, this
Speaker 2: is wrong. I had no idea.
Speaker 4: It's like the Homo Simpsons. Something was said, not good,
Speaker 4: something is different.
Speaker 6: So is it inverted?
Speaker 5: I can't I'm trying to think now because I'm like
Speaker 5: playing it and I don't remember feeling.
Speaker 2: We couldn't tell you. But I turned it to non
Speaker 2: inverted and it made a lot more sense.
Speaker 3: YEA, I would, yes, I would always recommend changing it
Speaker 3: to the inversion you're comfortable with. If you want it
Speaker 3: inverted or if you don't want it inverted, that's the
Speaker 3: control scheme you should definitely change. But if you want
Speaker 3: to switch like A and B, I feel like that's
Speaker 3: just going to lead to problems down the line as
Speaker 3: you get adjusted to the controller.
Speaker 5: I just have like I have dyslexia, like specifically with directions.
Speaker 5: So it's just like I will actually like get confused
Speaker 5: where I will turn in it one way and then
Speaker 5: be like that's wrong, and then I'll like change it,
Speaker 5: and then I'll turn it again and be like no, wait,
Speaker 5: I was wrong the first time.
Speaker 6: Now I need to go back. So like I just
Speaker 6: I just give up. I have I don't know anyway.
Speaker 1: Next question here is from Kevin and West Hartford Half
Speaker 1: Dark Crew. Do you think Nintendo will add the Nintendo
Speaker 1: sixty four to the Switch online service this year?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: No, because they can make they can make you pay
Speaker 4: for it. Yeah, yeah, Unfortunately, I think that's the Nintendo model.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: The thing is, there are a lot of sixty Nintendo
Speaker 3: sixty four games that I would just buy on Switch,
Speaker 3: Like like if they were like we put Wave Race
Speaker 3: on Switch, I would buy it. I would totally buy
Speaker 3: Wave Race, like I just had a great time. I
Speaker 3: already bought all of those games on n sixty four
Speaker 3: and on we virtual console, but I'll buy them again
Speaker 3: because I'm a sucker, and that's how Nintendo gets you,
Speaker 3: and they're already doing it with Mario three D All Stars,
Speaker 3: like here Mario sixty four but in a new package.
Speaker 4: So would also like, it's the anniversary of Zelden next year,
Speaker 4: isn't it? So get ready.
Speaker 3: They don't, Oh, if they don't put Ocarina in the
Speaker 3: three DS port of Majora's Mask, which was actually so good,
Speaker 3: they like, take like the changes they made in that
Speaker 3: three DS port and then make it appropriate for switch. Oh,
Speaker 3: I would buy the shit out of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, wager.
Speaker 1: I think just in general though, like I feel like
Speaker 1: I don't know, it'll be a long time before Nintendo
Speaker 1: repackages does Nintendo sixty four games and does like a
Speaker 1: Nintendo sixty four Classic or starts adding them to the
Speaker 1: online services because a I think they're a little bit
Speaker 1: tougher to port and like get set up. Mostly because well,
Speaker 1: I don't know, once again speculation. I don't know how
Speaker 1: to make games, but I imagine like mapping that controller
Speaker 1: to modern devices would be kind of a pain, like
Speaker 1: extra prong, Like I'm curious how Mario sixty four is
Speaker 1: gonna play because god, that camera was so bad, and like,
Speaker 1: I hope it's just controlled with the other control stick.
Speaker 2: But and the thing is.
Speaker 3: That era of games has not visually aged very well,
Speaker 3: whereas like really it hasn't aged very well. I still
Speaker 3: love Major's mask.
Speaker 2: I think there's standouts for sure.
Speaker 3: There are some definite, definite standouts on n sixty four.
Speaker 3: But I think it's kind of hard to sell some
Speaker 3: of those games to an audience that didn't didn't play
Speaker 3: them originally because they kind of look assy and they
Speaker 3: don't they do. Listen, that era of three D was
Speaker 3: just an experimental mess and like they're really they don't
Speaker 3: age well versus something like wind Waker, where that game
Speaker 3: is highly stylized. The style holds up if there's you
Speaker 3: can do to bring it Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: Even like and very point in like weird ways. Yeah,
Speaker 6: L three D.
Speaker 3: I don't know, Yes, I think like from Nintendo's perspective,
Speaker 3: maybe they're weighing like the nostalgia factor versus the like
Speaker 3: does this bring in a new audience factor.
Speaker 5: I just really want them to sell that and sixty
Speaker 5: four controller again, Like I want that as like a
Speaker 5: like an attachment for like either for either like you know,
Speaker 5: if they were to sell like a six four Classic,
Speaker 5: or if they were to what they did with the
Speaker 5: online where they sold like the limited versions of like
Speaker 5: the NASA Snass controllers. I want them to sell a
Speaker 5: sixty four controller and I want a whole new generation
Speaker 5: of of Switch owners.
Speaker 6: To be baffled by it and just be like, what
Speaker 6: is this thing? Or it's like.
Speaker 2: Two on the side and then one on the bottom, and.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you have to you, yes, that you should do it.
Speaker 3: I God, there are some games that I would totally
Speaker 3: play again, even though they're no good anymore. Like GoldenEye. Man,
Speaker 3: that game did not hold up.
Speaker 5: Fortunately, you'll probably never get that one because of the
Speaker 5: weird licensing I know.
Speaker 3: And that's the thing is like Banjo KAZUOI I hate
Speaker 3: the Xbox version because it's easier. I mastered that game
Speaker 3: when I was five. I don't need it to be easier.
Speaker 6: You might be that one I could see.
Speaker 5: They're actually like I feel like rare in Microsoft are
Speaker 5: actually pretty pretty good about Yeah.
Speaker 3: You know what I want really bad to come back
Speaker 3: from that era of video gaming is color coordinated cartridges.
Speaker 3: Why are the switch cartridges boring? They should have different colors.
Speaker 3: Sword and shield should have been colored. We should have
Speaker 3: like a really cool like golden one for like Zelda games,
Speaker 3: I like, bring that back? Where did that go?
Speaker 4: Tavy? This episode has been.
Speaker 3: I just think like, like, you know, we had that
Speaker 3: licking cartridge?
Speaker 2: Is fat?
Speaker 3: Everyone like it's on there everybody's radar. I'm just saying, like,
Speaker 3: if you made a colored cartridge, everybody'll be like, well,
Speaker 3: does this one taste any less bad? And then maybe
Speaker 3: you know they'd be popular.
Speaker 6: I actually make them like flavored. They could do that.
Speaker 4: So kids will eat them.
Speaker 2: All right, Last question, Lucy, do you want to read
Speaker 2: this one? Yeah?
Speaker 4: This is from Trilins on discord. If you could grab
Speaker 4: any three games put them all on one cartridge with switch,
Speaker 4: what would they be? The Mass Effect trilogy.
Speaker 3: That's a good as long as it's like it's supers
Speaker 3: like good.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I assume we're like ignoring the size limitation of the
Speaker 5: actually switch cartridge.
Speaker 3: I mean, like, if there's there's no stipulation in this question,
Speaker 3: if works that.
Speaker 4: Did Ellen know what ever come out on a cartridge?
Speaker 6: It did, but you also had to download an extra
Speaker 6: amount of it.
Speaker 4: So in that case, I think it's fine, go nuts size.
Speaker 5: Okay, do they all have to be part of the
Speaker 5: same trilogy? Or could I just have like three completely
Speaker 5: three games.
Speaker 4: I think it's Luke Collection.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, wow, yeah, what is the Joe Okay? If
Speaker 3: I had to guess, oh yeah, my answer is Don
Speaker 3: and Rampa's one, two, and three Persona three four.
Speaker 5: Mm Persona would be pretty good, but five yes, But
Speaker 5: like I'm also like I've played the others portably. I'm
Speaker 5: trying to think of like a game that like I
Speaker 5: haven't been able to play portably.
Speaker 3: I'm just like if I'm thinking about if I'm thinking
Speaker 3: about John Luke, I'm like, okay, system shops on there,
Speaker 3: you know, like I'm trying to think of, like what
Speaker 3: I would say as your friend, is the John Luke Collection?
Speaker 6: You know what?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 5: You put Yaku's zero on switch because that means I
Speaker 5: can play that Cabaret Club mini.
Speaker 6: Game on the.
Speaker 3: Yes, Oh you're a genius.
Speaker 6: Yeah, just put that three times.
Speaker 2: Oh Gwent quin.
Speaker 1: Well, you've got a Throne Breaker Thrown Breakers on there already,
Speaker 1: and that's better Gwent because you don't have to play
Speaker 1: against people online.
Speaker 3: Fair.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I don't know my three Honestly, I was
Speaker 1: gonna say like like dead Space Mass Effect, like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm really not sure.
Speaker 1: There's probably some GameCube games i'd want to put on
Speaker 1: there that I would like to revisit, maybe like like
Speaker 1: put Tails of Symfonia on the Switch.
Speaker 2: That'd be kind of cool.
Speaker 1: But once again, like last time I tried to play
Speaker 1: that game, like, yeah, this game has an age super well.
Speaker 1: I kind of just like it being in the past
Speaker 1: as a game.
Speaker 2: I really like that. I don't really want to play it.
Speaker 1: These days, Like mass Effect on Switch is something I
Speaker 1: would one hundred play. I've been getting the itch to
Speaker 1: play mass Effect the last month and I'm just like
Speaker 1: fighting it. I'm like, no, we don't have time for this,
Speaker 1: we don't have time.
Speaker 4: I like to think there's like five different jakes in
Speaker 4: your head, and no, we don't have time for this.
Speaker 2: Start a mass Effect, start an aspect, and.
Speaker 3: Then the other ones like no that Witcher three like.
Speaker 4: A twelve Angry Men had one one loan Jake.
Speaker 1: Or maybe you're one in two yeah Switch, that kind
Speaker 1: of cool, that's not three.
Speaker 2: Maybe what you're one in two? And then mass Effect
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could start collecting those lady cards on your switch.
Speaker 2: I wonder if they'd get rid of that. They'd probably
Speaker 2: get rid of that as an aged one.
Speaker 3: Say, I'm trying to think if there's anything else. I mean,
Speaker 3: like I did like I would love like Ockery enough time, but.
Speaker 4: That's that's a.
Speaker 3: Little too obvious. Like something that's probably not gonna happen
Speaker 3: is the Dongan Rampa trilogy. So that's where I really went.
Speaker 5: But I really want that because I've been like, I
Speaker 5: am gonna eventually get to don Rampa.
Speaker 6: I promise would love it.
Speaker 4: You're gonna love it.
Speaker 6: But there's always that part of me that's like if
Speaker 6: they put it out on switch that would be better.
Speaker 5: Maybe I'll just wait a little bit longer, but maybe
Speaker 5: I should just finally commit and get it when I
Speaker 5: have time.
Speaker 3: Well the Cabaret Club though, that's a great cabaret club.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we're all game for that.
Speaker 1: Well anyway, that's been episode fifty eight of Game Spot
Speaker 1: after Dark. Thank you all so much for listening, and
Speaker 1: thank you guys for joining me.
Speaker 2: Lucy, what do you have cooking? And uh, where can
Speaker 2: people find you?
Speaker 4: So this week on Generation Next it is Xbox Series
Speaker 4: S versus Xbook Series X, which is right for you,
Speaker 4: So they'll be up by the time this podcast goes
Speaker 4: Love YouTube of complash game Spot and I'm on Twitter
Speaker 4: at Lucy.
Speaker 3: James games Kelly, I am, you know, just continuing to
Speaker 3: edit and publish many re use from many different writers,
Speaker 3: so please keep up with GameSpot reviews. This week we
Speaker 3: had Phil's finalized Avengers review. He had kind of impressions
Speaker 3: that he'd updated, but this is the scored version, so
Speaker 3: check that out if you haven't seen it yet. We
Speaker 3: also reviewed Moon, which is the nineteen ninety seven PS
Speaker 3: one anti RPG that is finally getting an English rule
Speaker 3: or finally did get an English release this year on Switch.
Speaker 3: So that's a cult classic. It was one of the
Speaker 3: main inspirations besides earth Bound for Undertail, so that was
Speaker 3: a big one. Very excited to kind of be able
Speaker 3: to revisit a cult classic like that.
Speaker 2: Did you know that was localized and translated by Tim Rodgers?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: I saw him like as someone was tweeting at him
Speaker 1: about how he did a good job on that, and
Speaker 1: I was like, than, dang.
Speaker 6: Wow, well that's rad. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So so kind of like an interesting eclectic week for
Speaker 3: Gameshart reviews. Let's say also start Renegades. I don't want
Speaker 3: to leave that one out, I'm sure, I mean there's
Speaker 3: plenty that I that we do a lot of reviews.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of work.
Speaker 3: But anyway, I'm also continuing to do Animal Crossing updates.
Speaker 3: I have a full guide to all of the new
Speaker 3: DIY recipes that you get this month and how you
Speaker 3: can firm them. I already have them all and I
Speaker 3: plan on making a Mushroom Wanderland when I can get
Speaker 3: the mushroom recipes. Wait my Twitter account.
Speaker 2: Oh go ahead, I gotta do my song.
Speaker 3: Uh No, I don't want to. It's fine, yank you do.
Speaker 5: Mostly this week, I have been continuing to fill in
Speaker 5: for Eric Kay on the live stream front.
Speaker 6: Pretty busy week.
Speaker 5: So if if if any of our live streams failed horribly,
Speaker 5: you could you could blame me over on Twitter at
Speaker 5: johny Sipekes blaming you.
Speaker 4: You've been doing great otherwise.
Speaker 5: I'm I'm just working on some some PC centric stuff
Speaker 5: with Michael Hyam and Dave do It over in the UK,
Speaker 5: and that stuff should be coming out sometime next week.
Speaker 1: Nice and then you can find me at Jacob Deck
Speaker 1: on Twitter. And we don't have a Cyberpunk.
Speaker 2: Lore video this week.
Speaker 1: Instead, I know we took a break. There are a
Speaker 1: lot of work, and usually it feels like a sprint
Speaker 1: when we do them. So we took a break and
Speaker 1: we are doing especially because it was a shorter week.
Speaker 2: We're doing books, movies, games.
Speaker 1: Stuff you should watch, do see before Cyberpunk comes out.
Speaker 2: Just put that together. I'm editing it right now, sopefully
Speaker 2: that's up in time.
Speaker 1: A lot of good recommendations in there, some obvious ones
Speaker 1: and some not so obvious ones. So if you're excited
Speaker 1: for Cyberpunk, might want to check that out. You might,
Speaker 1: I don't know, find a good book or two to read,
Speaker 1: or maybe a new movie to watch. But that's about
Speaker 1: it for me because we'll see all next week.
Speaker 6: Bye bye, s
