WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.919
We are a weekly podcast, soul of a gamer. Hey,

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:07.500
I'm smart this time. I did this time. Let's not

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:12.859
go that far. I will fuck it up again. I love

00:00:12.859 --> 00:00:14.859
pressing that button. That was my favorite part.

00:00:16.379 --> 00:00:21.039
This game gets really fucking weird. Yeah, so

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:22.739
you do acid and then you go into the hamster

00:00:22.739 --> 00:00:27.219
suit. And this week is Night Trap. Night Trap.

00:00:27.579 --> 00:00:31.120
They're right behind you, Night Trap. Ten -year

00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:34.399
-old birthday party. Next scene, kill the kid.

00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:42.219
You got to kill the kid. Sha -la -la -la -la

00:00:42.219 --> 00:00:45.840
-la, car is coming. Throw your body into the

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.420
car and die. All I could do every time I was

00:00:49.420 --> 00:00:52.020
playing Ethan was just start walking around and

00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:57.929
go, Jason! Oh, God. It's just my list. I got

00:00:57.929 --> 00:01:02.009
my list. Okay, he's ready. I'm ready. I'm ready.

00:01:02.369 --> 00:01:05.650
What is the... God, what is the SpongeBob one?

00:01:06.349 --> 00:01:09.670
Are you ready, kids? No, no, no. Doesn't he walk

00:01:09.670 --> 00:01:12.109
down the street going, I'm ready. I'm ready.

00:01:12.549 --> 00:01:15.329
I'm ready. Doesn't he... No idea. I've never

00:01:15.329 --> 00:01:17.290
really watched this show. I've only watched two

00:01:17.290 --> 00:01:20.370
episodes ever. It's so good. Honestly, it's very

00:01:20.370 --> 00:01:23.430
good. Everyone... I was never allowed to watch

00:01:23.430 --> 00:01:27.399
it. And then I just never got around to it. it

00:01:27.399 --> 00:01:29.640
was fun back in the day now i think it's probably

00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:32.780
stupid but it was fun yeah i don't know like

00:01:32.780 --> 00:01:35.000
i i've seen all the clips there's tons of funny

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.359
clips there's tons of funny songs and stuff like

00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.340
i get that there's a lot of appeal for it i also

00:01:40.340 --> 00:01:42.400
i'm like uh i have a lot of other things i want

00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.359
to get to before i'd even go back to that ever

00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:48.200

00:02:08.860 --> 00:02:11.020
our last week's episode, Lost in Random. That

00:02:11.020 --> 00:02:12.560
was a lot of fun for us to play, and we really

00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:14.479
do enjoy that game. We just wish it was more,

00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:18.060
I guess you could say complex, but not complex

00:02:18.060 --> 00:02:21.580
in a way. We just want more cards. Yeah, we want

00:02:21.580 --> 00:02:26.520
more variety. More variety, yeah. So we hope

00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:28.360
you enjoyed that. Today we are doing hot takes.

00:02:28.460 --> 00:02:31.340
We are doing upcoming games, what we are most

00:02:31.340 --> 00:02:34.199
excited about, or least excited about, if you

00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.400
want to go in that direction, and how we feel

00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:42.360
about cutscene. Yes. Before we get into any of

00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.479
those, though, I wanted to bring up a TikTok

00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.500
I saw earlier today that I thought you would

00:02:46.500 --> 00:02:49.199
greatly appreciate. what do you think that i

00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:51.319
would ever appreciate a tick guys i do not watch

00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.460
tiktok i'm just like i know this is why i had

00:02:53.460 --> 00:02:55.979
to tell you here i i know like i do like five

00:02:55.979 --> 00:02:58.360
things and tiktok is not one of them unfortunately

00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.259
yes it's very unfortunate so i have to do all

00:03:01.259 --> 00:03:03.960
of our tiktok handling so if you're talking on

00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.039
tiktok you're talking to me um but one of my

00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.819
favorite comedians his name is ron funches he

00:03:09.819 --> 00:03:12.280
uh came out wearing a tuxedo with the nintendo

00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.699
logo up on the top of the screen came to be the

00:03:14.699 --> 00:03:17.719
new ceo of the american office and then he's

00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.099
like all right i'm here to talk about game pricing

00:03:21.099 --> 00:03:24.500
in today's games yes our standard games are still

00:03:24.500 --> 00:03:27.180
going to cost around 60 but are really good games

00:03:27.180 --> 00:03:29.699
like mario kart world they're gonna cost 80 why

00:03:29.699 --> 00:03:33.699
because fuck you that's why it's so true and

00:03:33.699 --> 00:03:36.219
he's like oh true and if you if you're worried

00:03:36.219 --> 00:03:38.060
about that you ain't heard nothing until the

00:03:38.060 --> 00:03:39.740
new pokemon game comes out that's gonna cost

00:03:39.740 --> 00:03:41.939
you two grand a month and you're gonna have to

00:03:41.939 --> 00:03:46.360
suck my dick i actually just watched the thing

00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:48.800
so eventually in the future we're gonna be doing

00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:53.379
pokemon red for our pokemon red blue or red green

00:03:53.379 --> 00:03:57.840
or whatever it is for our podcast, and I was

00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.620
watching a video on how it was made, and I'm

00:03:59.620 --> 00:04:02.099
actually surprised. Did you know Game Freak is

00:04:02.099 --> 00:04:04.479
not owned by Nintendo? I thought they were separate,

00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.740
yeah. Yeah, they're completely separate. They

00:04:06.740 --> 00:04:10.180
are a second -party verifier, because a third

00:04:10.180 --> 00:04:12.860
party would be able to push to anyone, but the

00:04:12.860 --> 00:04:15.500
second party, they usually only push to a select

00:04:15.500 --> 00:04:19.660
few. Oh, okay. So Game Freak only pushes to Nintendo,

00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:23.399
which is super fucking interesting. Very, okay.

00:04:23.620 --> 00:04:26.639
Yeah. And apparently Nintendo has like a small

00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:28.959
stake in Game Freak, but like so small, it's

00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:32.620
like a minority share. But the two of them together

00:04:32.620 --> 00:04:35.699
own the Pokemon company, which, you know, that

00:04:35.699 --> 00:04:37.879
releases all of the merchandise. And they even

00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:41.000
show like how much money they've made. And most

00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.399
of their money, like 80 % of their revenue, Game

00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.100
Freak comes from fucking merch. I'm so surprised.

00:04:47.150 --> 00:04:50.069
I don't know what you're talking about with Pokemon

00:04:50.069 --> 00:04:53.810
merch. Also, all my Pokemon Funkos. It's not

00:04:53.810 --> 00:04:56.089
just that. It's like Pokemon cards count as the

00:04:56.089 --> 00:04:59.329
merch, too. It's super interesting. The business

00:04:59.329 --> 00:05:01.550
model is crazy with this fucking shit. Dude,

00:05:01.569 --> 00:05:04.209
the amount of Eevee stuff we end up getting because

00:05:04.209 --> 00:05:06.970
how much me and my wife love Eevee is kind of

00:05:06.970 --> 00:05:08.910
funny. Everyone loves Eevee. That's not unique

00:05:08.910 --> 00:05:11.629
to you. Shut up. It's not unique to us, but we

00:05:11.629 --> 00:05:15.029
showcase that love extra. Everyone has their

00:05:15.029 --> 00:05:17.550
own favorite Eeveeloo shit. and everyone hates

00:05:17.550 --> 00:05:20.029
Sylveon, so there you go. Fuck you. Sylveon's

00:05:20.029 --> 00:05:22.610
one of my favorites, bitch. It's one of the stupidest

00:05:22.610 --> 00:05:25.610
ones and it's the latest one to come out. Sylveon

00:05:25.610 --> 00:05:29.730
and Vaporeon are my favorites by far. You literally

00:05:29.730 --> 00:05:32.750
chose the two worst ones. Way to go. No! Hot

00:05:32.750 --> 00:05:36.589
take. Sylveon sucks, guys. Vaporeon's not much

00:05:36.589 --> 00:05:39.389
better. Because, okay, a lot of the people I

00:05:39.389 --> 00:05:41.329
used to battle against, especially our good friend

00:05:41.329 --> 00:05:44.250
Bryant back in the day. He used to play dragons

00:05:44.250 --> 00:05:48.110
all the time. So fairy type was fucking baller

00:05:48.110 --> 00:05:50.970
against him. Okay, well, guess what? Fairy types

00:05:50.970 --> 00:05:52.870
rule so much, they took their fucking energy

00:05:52.870 --> 00:05:55.029
out of the card game. So way to go, fairy types.

00:05:55.029 --> 00:05:56.389
I guess you're so good. Well, you know what?

00:05:56.550 --> 00:05:58.410
I didn't care about the card game to begin with.

00:05:58.610 --> 00:06:03.670
No one cares about fucking fairies. I like fairy

00:06:03.670 --> 00:06:07.360
types. Of course you do. What was that X and

00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:09.759
Y, I think, where that came out? Yeah, I love

00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:11.819
X and Y. I think it might have been before X

00:06:11.819 --> 00:06:13.620
and Y, but X and Y had... No, I think it was

00:06:13.620 --> 00:06:17.439
X and Y, because I remember... Yeah, it's X and

00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.500
Y. I believe it's... I'm almost 100 % sure it's

00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:21.660
X and Y. Okay. You have to double check, but

00:06:21.660 --> 00:06:23.819
I'm almost 100 % sure. Let us know if we're wrong.

00:06:24.180 --> 00:06:27.079
Hot take. Sylveon sucks. Vaporeon sucks. Go Jolteon.

00:06:28.500 --> 00:06:30.600
I don't think you could really go wrong with

00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.180
any of them, to be completely honest. Sylveon

00:06:33.180 --> 00:06:43.660
and Vaporeon. Fuck you. Moving past that mini

00:06:43.660 --> 00:06:45.899
hot take, let's get into our regular ones. How

00:06:45.899 --> 00:06:47.639
about that? Alright, what do you want to get

00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.040
into first? I like to talk about upcoming games,

00:06:51.220 --> 00:06:53.920
actually. This is exciting. There's a lot of

00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.240
fucking cool games coming out this year. I really

00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.480
had to go through a list of like... And there's

00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.279
a lot more than I thought there was. You know,

00:07:00.300 --> 00:07:02.529
we hear these stories about... game companies

00:07:02.529 --> 00:07:04.910
closing down and game companies getting shut

00:07:04.910 --> 00:07:06.810
down by the bigger developers and everything

00:07:06.810 --> 00:07:09.610
like and it's amazing that there's still so many

00:07:09.610 --> 00:07:12.389
games coming out man it's incredible actually

00:07:12.889 --> 00:07:14.990
There's more games coming out now than like ever

00:07:14.990 --> 00:07:17.670
before. And it's crazy. And every time we hear

00:07:17.670 --> 00:07:19.850
any big news, we're like, oh my gosh, 9 ,000

00:07:19.850 --> 00:07:21.250
people got laid off. And it's like, yeah, but

00:07:21.250 --> 00:07:24.269
also 14 ,000 jobs got created somewhere probably.

00:07:24.410 --> 00:07:26.750
Yeah, probably. But I mean, they're not wrong.

00:07:26.850 --> 00:07:29.290
It's probably not that bad. And I know big layoffs

00:07:29.290 --> 00:07:32.129
are always atrocious. And I feel awful to anybody

00:07:32.129 --> 00:07:34.490
who ever is affected by any of that. I'm not

00:07:34.490 --> 00:07:36.470
downgrading that at all. I'm just saying there

00:07:36.470 --> 00:07:38.589
is so much. It's just the game industry is hostile,

00:07:38.930 --> 00:07:42.720
man. It's fucking hostile. It sucks. It's stupid.

00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:44.240
I think video game and movies right now are in

00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.480
some of like the most hostile they've ever been

00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.699
as far as the production and everything. And

00:07:48.699 --> 00:07:51.639
it doesn't even matter if they make money. That's

00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:53.500
the big thing. Like, it doesn't seem like anyone

00:07:53.500 --> 00:07:55.600
cares if they make money. Like, they could make

00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:58.160
twice as much as they spent and that's still

00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.399
a failure to them. Well, and sometimes their

00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.019
big failures can be huge tax write -offs. So

00:08:03.019 --> 00:08:05.060
their big failures aren't even that bad for them,

00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.439
apparently. I'm like, wait, what? How does that

00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.079
work? But still, they'll shut down the company.

00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:12.399
I don't understand how big money works. I don't

00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:14.819
want to. I don't care. I never want to be that

00:08:14.819 --> 00:08:17.639
big. I want to be big enough that I can support

00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:19.360
myself and not have to worry about it, but I

00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:22.160
don't care to have a mansion. Like $150K a year

00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.180
is probably where I want to be. That's about

00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:27.699
where I care to be. I hate rich people. I think

00:08:27.699 --> 00:08:29.740
you're just being selfish. I think if I was making

00:08:29.740 --> 00:08:32.360
millions a year, 90 % of my money would go to

00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:33.940
donations. Because why the fuck would you? Why

00:08:33.940 --> 00:08:36.879
do you need all that fucking money? Honestly,

00:08:37.059 --> 00:08:39.200
I would love to just go to... Every time I go

00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.519
travel, I would make that place better every

00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.639
time I traveled there. Yeah. I would just spread

00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.379
the wealth as much as I could. It's hard, man.

00:08:47.740 --> 00:08:50.360
I know it's extremely hard, but it's a lot of

00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.000
work. And it's the most deviated opinion you

00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:53.700
could have because most people are like, well,

00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:55.340
what about your future family? Well, fuck my

00:08:55.340 --> 00:08:57.159
future family. They can get their own goddamn

00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:02.080
job. What future family? Kidless. But let's say

00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.600
I had a grandkid. Why the fuck am I taking care

00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:07.379
of my grandkid? Let the fucking parents do that.

00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:10.879
Why is it my job? Hot take here. If I take care

00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:12.340
of my kid, my kid's going to be able to take

00:09:12.340 --> 00:09:15.220
care of himself. Exactly. There you go. And if

00:09:15.220 --> 00:09:17.159
they don't, then they're a fuck up and they don't

00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:20.059
deserve to. So there you go. I can't control

00:09:20.059 --> 00:09:22.779
his life once he's 18. I'm in control of taking

00:09:22.779 --> 00:09:23.659
care of him up to a point. I like how you keep

00:09:23.659 --> 00:09:24.980
saying he. You're like, no, I'm not having a

00:09:24.980 --> 00:09:27.899
girl. It's got to be a boy. Honestly, I've always

00:09:27.899 --> 00:09:32.259
envisioned one of each. Actually, my wife and

00:09:32.259 --> 00:09:34.200
I had picked out names a long time ago before

00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:37.570
we said we weren't going to have kids. yeah I

00:09:37.570 --> 00:09:39.529
picked out names too and it was all for dogs

00:09:39.529 --> 00:09:43.269
because I never wanted children the first name

00:09:43.269 --> 00:09:46.570
I ever sold somebody I wanted to name a child

00:09:46.570 --> 00:09:51.509
what was the name Chloe and the next week my

00:09:51.509 --> 00:09:53.669
aunt was like hey I just named I just stole your

00:09:53.669 --> 00:09:56.250
name that was a cool name so I named my new snake

00:09:56.250 --> 00:09:59.210
Chloe I mean that's kind of shitty but also that's

00:09:59.210 --> 00:10:00.909
fine I mean two people know I know it's pretty

00:10:00.909 --> 00:10:03.370
funny I was like whatever yeah all right guys

00:10:03.370 --> 00:10:06.750
well let's jump into the upcoming games yes i'm

00:10:06.750 --> 00:10:08.230
gonna start out this list and actually i have

00:10:08.230 --> 00:10:10.649
two of these games on this list two from the

00:10:10.649 --> 00:10:12.710
same developer because it's developers you know

00:10:12.710 --> 00:10:16.269
as i've said so many fucking times yep i love

00:10:16.269 --> 00:10:18.889
the sequels of two different games of course

00:10:18.889 --> 00:10:22.710
they are but like literally it's one of my favorite

00:10:22.710 --> 00:10:25.750
developers of all time I love them so much I've

00:10:25.750 --> 00:10:27.669
played all of their fucking games every single

00:10:27.669 --> 00:10:30.029
one I am in love with like there's nothing wrong

00:10:30.029 --> 00:10:32.330
with that they are awesome and their owner sounds

00:10:32.330 --> 00:10:35.149
awesome like we talked about this in the Baldur's

00:10:35.149 --> 00:10:37.429
Gate episode he really wanted to make Baldur's

00:10:37.429 --> 00:10:41.490
Gate 3 too and he let the guy from Sweden I cannot

00:10:41.490 --> 00:10:43.799
remember his name what is it uh lorian studios

00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:46.299
but yeah i can't remember the guy they were close

00:10:46.299 --> 00:10:47.919
friends and he's like you know what you take

00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:50.299
the reins on this one i can see that you are

00:10:50.299 --> 00:10:53.080
very passionate and that takes a fucking special

00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.279
kind of person to say i don't want to make millions

00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:58.039
of dollars you know It does. You're right. I

00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.120
mean, you have to kind of definitely be able

00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.159
to make that sacrifice. And also, you have to

00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:03.879
know that you trust the person that you're giving

00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:05.980
it to. Exactly. And that's the big thing. You

00:11:05.980 --> 00:11:09.120
trust them without a doubt. So that's why Obsidian

00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.360
is one of my favorite companies. And I'm going

00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:14.379
to start my thing off here with Grounded 2. Yes.

00:11:14.500 --> 00:11:17.679
One of my big excitements. Yeah. Was that on

00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:21.129
your list too? Oh, 100%. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It

00:11:21.129 --> 00:11:23.889
comes pre -release of the, or the early release

00:11:23.889 --> 00:11:27.230
comes out the 27th. Oh, I thought it was the

00:11:27.230 --> 00:11:30.889
25th. Oh, maybe, maybe. It might be the 25th.

00:11:30.889 --> 00:11:32.730
I think I just looked this up because I was really

00:11:32.730 --> 00:11:34.529
excited and I thought it was already out and

00:11:34.529 --> 00:11:36.370
then it wasn't. I was really pissed off. Yeah,

00:11:36.450 --> 00:11:38.789
so it's coming out very soon. By the time this

00:11:38.789 --> 00:11:42.029
podcast comes out, it will be out. So we'll already

00:11:42.029 --> 00:11:44.409
be playing this, but we're both extremely excited

00:11:44.409 --> 00:11:46.389
for this. We're only getting a portion of the

00:11:46.389 --> 00:11:48.610
map. Yeah, which is fine. I mean, it's a pre

00:11:48.610 --> 00:11:50.090
-release. It makes sense. And you don't have

00:11:50.090 --> 00:11:53.929
to pay for it. It'll be free. Yes. Like, Obsidian

00:11:53.929 --> 00:11:55.590
is one of the coolest companies in the world.

00:11:55.610 --> 00:11:57.190
If they want to take their time making a game,

00:11:57.269 --> 00:11:59.789
they can fucking take their time. Is there any

00:11:59.789 --> 00:12:02.129
upgrades or any new things that you've seen so

00:12:02.129 --> 00:12:04.840
far that you're the most excited for? So with

00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:07.340
this game and with the original game, the original

00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:10.000
game was such an ingenious fucking idea. I don't

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:12.679
think anyone has really done this kind of game

00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:15.200
before. There are games where you go mini. I

00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:17.980
remember playing DK and you play Tiny and she

00:12:17.980 --> 00:12:20.600
can go mini. There's games where you can do this,

00:12:20.620 --> 00:12:22.460
but there's no game that really explores the

00:12:22.460 --> 00:12:26.860
world of a just... such a small microcosm of

00:12:26.860 --> 00:12:29.419
what we just step on every day like and it's

00:12:29.419 --> 00:12:31.679
so beautiful to see that like you know what i

00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:34.240
mean like there was a mosquito game back in the

00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:36.899
ps2 area where you play as a mosquito and you

00:12:36.899 --> 00:12:40.039
have to draw blood from people you know but then

00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:43.460
that takes into the larger than life aspect of

00:12:43.460 --> 00:12:45.860
a smaller creature you want to see how the smaller

00:12:45.860 --> 00:12:47.860
creatures are interacting with their own environment

00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:50.639
not how they interact with us that's also true

00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.980
yeah yeah yeah fair so like there's so many things

00:12:53.980 --> 00:12:56.059
I'm excited for I'm excited for the new builds

00:12:56.059 --> 00:12:58.480
I'm excited for the new equipment I'm excited

00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:00.799
for the fact that you can ride other insects

00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:02.960
now but I believe it's limited to two right now

00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:05.039
but I bet they'll expand on that yeah I think

00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:06.419
it was one or two at the beginning and then they're

00:13:06.419 --> 00:13:08.370
gonna add another one in like three months Yeah,

00:13:08.370 --> 00:13:09.870
and I bet they're going to have more of a stat

00:13:09.870 --> 00:13:11.850
building because Obsidian is like a role -playing,

00:13:12.009 --> 00:13:15.409
loving game. They love role -playing games. So

00:13:15.409 --> 00:13:17.970
I guarantee they will put some more role -playing

00:13:17.970 --> 00:13:20.090
aspects into this game. One of my favorite new

00:13:20.090 --> 00:13:22.389
features is going to be the new Omni tool. There's

00:13:22.389 --> 00:13:25.529
going to be one tool for everything. For your

00:13:25.529 --> 00:13:30.159
shovel, for your pickaxe, and for your... Well,

00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:34.620
it's kind of like Omnitools from Mass Effect

00:13:34.620 --> 00:13:39.120
from Bioshock, or Bioshock, Bioware. Also, the

00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.320
guy from Obsidian is best friends with the original

00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:44.179
guy who made Bioware. Oh, nice. And if Bioware

00:13:44.179 --> 00:13:46.120
is a giant piece of shit, the original guy left,

00:13:46.259 --> 00:13:50.399
so don't worry. It's not his fault. Fair. That's

00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.000
all EA. I'm also stupid excited for this game.

00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:55.559
I think it's going to be absolutely incredible.

00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:00.279
I'm just waiting for that. I've already pre -installed

00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.620
the game, honestly. Yep, me too. I went to install

00:14:03.620 --> 00:14:05.240
it because I thought it was out, and then no,

00:14:05.299 --> 00:14:07.139
it's not. I still have to finish the first one,

00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:08.940
though. We are on the last thing. Oh, you still

00:14:08.940 --> 00:14:10.539
haven't finished it yet? We're just on the last

00:14:10.539 --> 00:14:12.360
thing. We're just building stuff now and just

00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:15.419
having fun. Fair, fair. We defeated Director

00:14:15.419 --> 00:14:18.000
Schmechter. Schmechter, right? Oh, nice. Yeah.

00:14:18.299 --> 00:14:21.840
I think his name was Schmechter. We were working

00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:24.600
on upgrading weapons and such to beat the infected

00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:27.620
brood brother. oh fuck and then after the fight's

00:14:27.620 --> 00:14:29.899
so hard dude yeah after we beat the infected

00:14:29.899 --> 00:14:32.019
broodmother we are probably going to go and do

00:14:32.019 --> 00:14:34.919
uh the last thing the beginning thing we already

00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:38.299
built an entire base around all the cables yes

00:14:38.299 --> 00:14:40.879
you need to dude it's crazy that last battle

00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:45.700
is epic as fuck yeah but we haven't started it

00:14:45.700 --> 00:14:46.980
yet just because we want to beat the infected

00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:50.240
broodmother first I definitely overbuilt for

00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.840
when we fortified our base because that's the

00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:54.740
kind of person I am, but I was glad that I did

00:14:54.740 --> 00:14:59.500
because most of it got destroyed. Yeah, okay.

00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:03.460
We put up a shit ton of mushroom barriers, so

00:15:03.460 --> 00:15:05.379
we're ready for this. Oh, that's what I did too.

00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:07.820
I did mushroom and ash walls over everything,

00:15:07.940 --> 00:15:09.899
and I had turrets and stuff. I had everything.

00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:12.940
Dude, that was so crazy, but I was like... But

00:15:12.940 --> 00:15:16.159
also, once I got... So the wands all the way

00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:18.240
leveled up and all my build towards my wands.

00:15:18.379 --> 00:15:20.360
Wands were the most damaging thing I could do

00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:23.120
in the game. Yeah. Actually, I'm running a dagger

00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:25.220
build right now, which is a lot of fun. Yeah,

00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.919
I'm able to like... I essentially can kill every

00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:32.399
boss with just my dagger. By myself. Getting

00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:35.519
up in front of a lot of the things. I'm usually

00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:38.360
the distance person, so I'm supporting her. Okay.

00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:40.620
Yeah, I'm doing all the... I can block really

00:15:40.620 --> 00:15:43.080
well, so... i was talking to wife about the game

00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.059
last time we were all together and uh i was saying

00:15:46.059 --> 00:15:48.200
saying that me and her were actually really similar

00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.600
you and jen were more similar because i i'm more

00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:53.500
of the uh building while she goes and kills everything

00:15:53.500 --> 00:15:55.220
and grab this all the supplies and then i build

00:15:55.220 --> 00:15:58.399
everything i was like god damn it that's so funny

00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:01.299
so it is all right what's your what's your game

00:16:01.299 --> 00:16:02.799
what you got for me what's your upcoming one

00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:05.720
uh yeah i guess i'll uh wait to talk about the

00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:09.240
other One from Obsidian. And I will go with one

00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:12.720
that I just found out about is fully actually

00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:15.360
real and coming out. I think it's coming out

00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:19.279
next year, not this year. But it is TMNT, The

00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.929
Last Ronin. Oh, nice. So they're going to go

00:16:22.929 --> 00:16:25.250
through the last Ronin storyline? Yes, they are.

00:16:25.250 --> 00:16:27.830
Dude, that's fucking sweet. That storyline is

00:16:27.830 --> 00:16:30.830
so cool. Guys, if you have not read the comics,

00:16:30.990 --> 00:16:34.330
they are a world of different from the TV shows.

00:16:34.509 --> 00:16:38.009
They are so much fucking darker. Yes, it is extremely

00:16:38.009 --> 00:16:41.250
dark. You can tell already from the trailer of

00:16:41.250 --> 00:16:44.250
the game. I saw IGN released it or whatever.

00:16:45.190 --> 00:16:48.389
It is super dark. And I think they're having

00:16:48.389 --> 00:16:51.639
Leo possibly be the last Ronin. um no that's

00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:56.419
lame i it seemed like it was leo but i know like

00:16:56.419 --> 00:17:00.279
i it better be mikey it's mikey michelangelo

00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:02.659
i better be michelangelo man because that was

00:17:02.659 --> 00:17:05.140
the thing that really sold that comic for me

00:17:05.140 --> 00:17:07.880
it's like this fun loving turtle who normally

00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.480
is the like life of the party is completely fucking

00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:12.380
darkened by everything that's out you know what

00:17:12.380 --> 00:17:15.529
i mean like yeah that's what made it even more

00:17:15.529 --> 00:17:17.630
like heartbreaking because you know what mike

00:17:17.630 --> 00:17:21.309
used to be like the trailer starts with him like

00:17:21.309 --> 00:17:26.670
uh basically like wounded crying uh having all

00:17:26.670 --> 00:17:28.430
of his brother's weapons laid out in front of

00:17:28.430 --> 00:17:31.250
him and are like all the turtles weapons laid

00:17:31.250 --> 00:17:34.190
out in front of him and then he grabs uh leo's

00:17:34.190 --> 00:17:37.130
broken sword and almost starts to commit seppuku

00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:40.859
but then like sees a rat and starts hearing shredder's

00:17:40.859 --> 00:17:43.500
voice and then stops himself from committing

00:17:43.500 --> 00:17:47.680
svuku and i'm like oh my god dude like this is

00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:49.960
all right you're getting the tone right yeah

00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:53.000
uh i think if i remember right i heard the rumor

00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:55.420
that i think the people who did god of war are

00:17:55.420 --> 00:17:58.319
doing it oh nice so i think they're gonna i mean

00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:00.579
it'll be a good game right yeah i was like you'll

00:18:00.579 --> 00:18:02.720
get those upgrades and everything from like yeah

00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:06.000
i was like please God of War Valhalla? Was that

00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:10.519
the other? Ragnarok. Ragnarok. Yeah. Yeah, so

00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:12.279
I'm really excited for that one. That one sounds

00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:15.500
really sweet. I'm hoping that one actually looks

00:18:15.500 --> 00:18:18.680
as good as it does so far. All right, well, I'll

00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:20.779
jump right in with the other Obsidian game then.

00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:23.960
Yes. Did you put this one on your list too? Outer

00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:26.799
Worlds 2. Hell yeah. Oh, you did? You never played

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:29.019
the first one, did you? I did. I didn't beat

00:18:29.019 --> 00:18:32.900
it, but I played probably about 50, 60 % of the

00:18:32.900 --> 00:18:36.359
game. Okay, yeah. One of my favorite games to

00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:38.700
come out in the last 10 years was Outer Worlds.

00:18:39.099 --> 00:18:41.759
Such a fun game. You did play it because we talked

00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:45.180
about how cool it was that you didn't have to

00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:47.200
romance people in the game, but you could hook

00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:49.599
people up with other people. And my favorite

00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:51.519
was hooking up that lesbian character in your

00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:55.059
crew. That was such a cute date. Her name starts

00:18:55.059 --> 00:19:00.339
with a P. What was it? I can't remember. I think

00:19:00.339 --> 00:19:03.880
it starts with a P, but she's so cool. The mechanic

00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:10.200
character. I don't know. It was such a cool game.

00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:13.039
Honestly, Obsidian did a great job making a spacefaring

00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:15.420
game. I will say I played through it twice. The

00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:17.599
first time I was really upset because I fucked

00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:20.119
up and I had to kill everyone in the city that

00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:22.750
I was in. which means i couldn't complete certain

00:19:22.750 --> 00:19:25.470
quests which means like like you know i failed

00:19:25.470 --> 00:19:27.250
a bunch of quests and then i was all pissed off

00:19:27.250 --> 00:19:28.730
and i'm like i'm not playing this fucking game

00:19:28.730 --> 00:19:31.730
ever again and then i restarted from the beginning

00:19:31.730 --> 00:19:34.849
and i understood like okay well now i i get what

00:19:34.849 --> 00:19:36.609
i have to do and i need to start doing it this

00:19:36.609 --> 00:19:38.569
way because i'm such a dummy i wasn't doing it

00:19:38.569 --> 00:19:42.220
this way that's fair And, you know, I bought

00:19:42.220 --> 00:19:44.299
all the DLCs and everything, too. I love that

00:19:44.299 --> 00:19:46.720
game. So it was so fucking cool. And the DLCs

00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:49.319
were sweet, too. Like everything about the game

00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:51.240
was awesome. You should and you should play the

00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:52.900
DLCs because they are actually a lot of fun.

00:19:53.380 --> 00:19:56.000
Nice. All right. I will. I'm definitely excited

00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:58.680
the most for this new system they're coming out

00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:00.660
with in the game, though, this new faults and

00:20:00.660 --> 00:20:02.680
quirk system or whatever that they have. Yeah.

00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:05.700
Oh, they had that before. But this one is way,

00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:10.009
way. hypersensitive now yeah yeah like last you

00:20:10.009 --> 00:20:12.210
could like drink two alcohol things and then

00:20:12.210 --> 00:20:14.650
suddenly your fault is you're an alcoholic you

00:20:14.650 --> 00:20:17.710
know so yeah but i love like this one adapts

00:20:17.710 --> 00:20:20.230
to your gameplay so if you're a stealthy person

00:20:20.230 --> 00:20:22.390
you're always crouching then it's gonna have

00:20:22.390 --> 00:20:25.930
a defect that goes on you that uh is like uh

00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:28.640
It's called, I can't remember what it's called,

00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:31.160
but it's like you make a loud sound when you

00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:33.819
uncrouch afterwards. That's funny. Because you

00:20:33.819 --> 00:20:36.359
crouch for so much that it ends up doing that.

00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:39.039
Or there's an effect. Like your knees crack or

00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:41.500
something. Yes, exactly. And it makes a loud

00:20:41.500 --> 00:20:43.579
noise alerting more people. So that's a defect

00:20:43.579 --> 00:20:45.779
that goes on you because of your play style.

00:20:46.380 --> 00:20:47.920
So that's one of the things that I really love

00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:50.460
is it's a game that's going to adapt to the way

00:20:50.460 --> 00:20:53.640
you play the game and add defects and stuff to

00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:56.559
what you do based on how you play. That's such

00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:59.339
a unique and inventive system. Yeah, honestly.

00:20:59.460 --> 00:21:01.839
Yes. And like the entire first game was so good.

00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:03.519
I can't imagine they're going to fuck this one

00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.599
up. Oh, no, it looks incredible so far. I'm super

00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:09.700
stoked for it. Even not completing the first

00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:12.019
one. I'm like. Just with this new system, I'm

00:21:12.019 --> 00:21:14.099
like, I want to play everything. You know what's

00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:16.740
crazy, too? I believe it's a AA game. I don't

00:21:16.740 --> 00:21:19.000
think it's a AAA game. I think so. Yeah. Again.

00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:22.299
It's AA Studios. They do so much better than

00:21:22.299 --> 00:21:25.119
the AAAs, guys. They don't have as much writing

00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:29.079
on it, so they can swing bigger. Yeah. The character's

00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:33.640
name is Parvati. Parvati. Parvati. Yes. Parvati.

00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:38.000
Parvati. I think. I don't know how to say it.

00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:44.059
Yes. All right. All right. Yeah. I'm also really

00:21:44.059 --> 00:21:46.519
excited for that one. I guess I will go to my

00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:51.180
next favorite. This one's a more quirky game

00:21:51.180 --> 00:21:53.559
because, you know, I like my weird, stupid games

00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:55.779
that make no sense kind of game. Yeah. Yeah.

00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:59.599
We know we've heard. Yeah. One that's been catching

00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:02.339
my eye that I can't keep think I stop thinking

00:22:02.339 --> 00:22:05.180
about is this new game called Baby Step. Oh,

00:22:05.259 --> 00:22:07.460
nice. I don't know what that is, but are you

00:22:07.460 --> 00:22:11.819
a baby? no so it sounds like it is you're actually

00:22:11.819 --> 00:22:15.000
like a 24 year old like man with like a full

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.140
beard and like a beer guy um but like i don't

00:22:19.140 --> 00:22:20.880
know what the story is or anything but it seems

00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:24.279
like you don't know why you're you're there and

00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:26.279
you kind of just have to like walk and figure

00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:28.420
out the story and it's like a walking simulator

00:22:28.420 --> 00:22:31.240
because you have to like you control your legs

00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:34.640
in a unique way so it's one of those like weird

00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:36.759
games where you have to like fumble with how

00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:38.900
to walk and you have to like walk up mountains

00:22:38.900 --> 00:22:41.720
and shit so it's one of those like stupid or

00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:43.400
super challenging games that are really like

00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:45.579
clickbaity games for youtubers and stuff a lot

00:22:45.579 --> 00:22:50.160
but it just looks really ridiculous and the graphics

00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:52.660
for it are actually like pretty darn good and

00:22:52.660 --> 00:22:55.619
it looks like it's gonna be kind of pseudo realistic

00:22:55.619 --> 00:22:59.890
in a weird way and it just seems Weirdly like

00:22:59.890 --> 00:23:01.750
something I want to play. I don't know why, but

00:23:01.750 --> 00:23:06.890
I do. Okay. Well, I wondered if you had heard

00:23:06.890 --> 00:23:09.049
of this game before. You definitely know what

00:23:09.049 --> 00:23:11.289
game they made, but I don't know if you've heard

00:23:11.289 --> 00:23:16.650
of the game. Guardians of the Wild Sky. No, I

00:23:16.650 --> 00:23:19.089
don't know this game. This game looks fucking

00:23:19.089 --> 00:23:22.690
sweet. It's like an exploratory building game

00:23:22.690 --> 00:23:25.529
where you're exploring like a continent that

00:23:25.529 --> 00:23:29.279
has all of these like floating islands. And you

00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:31.339
have a ship that you're building on that you're

00:23:31.339 --> 00:23:34.279
using as your transportation to the islands that

00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:36.680
you're doing. It's a survival game, kind of like

00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:38.400
Minecraft where you're looking for resources

00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:40.720
and everything too. It just looks like a cool

00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:44.380
game. And you'll never guess who the fucking

00:23:44.380 --> 00:23:51.140
publisher of this game is. No. No, not even close,

00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:56.420
I don't think. I don't know. So they made a game

00:23:56.420 --> 00:23:59.059
that we played on the previous podcast as a hint,

00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:02.539
and it was a Halloween game. Halloween game.

00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:07.450
One of the games we played for, yep. The same

00:24:07.450 --> 00:24:11.390
company. It's Blue Isle Studios. They're making

00:24:11.390 --> 00:24:15.430
this game. People gave them a lot of shit for

00:24:15.430 --> 00:24:17.089
Slender the Arrival, and I didn't love Slender

00:24:17.089 --> 00:24:19.009
the Arrival, but I didn't hate it. It was still

00:24:19.009 --> 00:24:21.589
jump scary. It's one of those dumb fun games.

00:24:21.829 --> 00:24:24.130
I honestly still like that more than Five Nights

00:24:24.130 --> 00:24:26.390
at Freddy's. You know what's funny is that people

00:24:26.390 --> 00:24:30.589
gave it so much shit because it cost $20. Now

00:24:30.589 --> 00:24:34.380
look where we're at. I know. This $80 game is

00:24:34.380 --> 00:24:38.480
fucking ridiculous. Yeah, yeah. So that was,

00:24:38.539 --> 00:24:41.809
and it was such an interesting thing. with that

00:24:41.809 --> 00:24:43.569
game but then they came out with another game

00:24:43.569 --> 00:24:45.509
and i don't remember what it was but they like

00:24:45.509 --> 00:24:48.049
kind of save face on the second game and now

00:24:48.049 --> 00:24:49.730
they're coming out with this and it looks fucking

00:24:49.730 --> 00:24:51.990
sweet i would recommend you guys look it up it's

00:24:51.990 --> 00:24:54.609
on steam i think and it it's like a building

00:24:54.609 --> 00:24:56.890
game you get a ship you get like cannons and

00:24:56.890 --> 00:24:59.390
shit you get to explore i have floating islands

00:24:59.390 --> 00:25:02.309
it's really fucking cool i'm really excited for

00:25:02.309 --> 00:25:04.390
this it kind of reminds me a lot of scars are

00:25:04.390 --> 00:25:10.079
skies of arcadia okay yeah You might have pets

00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:12.380
or something you fight with, too. I'm not 100

00:25:12.380 --> 00:25:14.859
% sure. The trailer looked kind of weird when

00:25:14.859 --> 00:25:17.559
I was watching it, but it looks fucking sweet.

00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:19.400
I'm actually super excited for this game to come

00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:24.440
out. Nice. What you got for me next? Right. Next

00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:29.259
for me, I've got a game that I'm really excited

00:25:29.259 --> 00:25:33.480
for. Humble Games game. I definitely know what

00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:37.259
the name of the game is. It is a game. I am on

00:25:37.259 --> 00:25:43.039
it. I am definitely super into it. It is a game

00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:48.740
of coolness and excitement game. Yes, exactly.

00:25:48.779 --> 00:25:56.380
It is a movie. Okay, so Billy Bust Up. Billy

00:25:56.380 --> 00:25:59.619
Bust Up is the name of the game. Billy Bust Up?

00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.039
billy bust up it kind of sounds like that uh

00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:07.440
game we played that the the fighter the like

00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:11.279
the 2d fighting game yeah yeah kind of like just

00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:13.119
the name kind of sounds like it has that kind

00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:17.339
of attitude uh fair it's uh not necessarily along

00:26:17.339 --> 00:26:20.500
that same lines um it is a 3d platforming musical

00:26:20.500 --> 00:26:24.119
okay i'm looking at a picture of the characters

00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:27.559
right now and i am not impressed If you watch

00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:30.839
the video of one of the, quote, boss battles,

00:26:31.099 --> 00:26:35.740
it is so much fun. It's like platforming while

00:26:35.740 --> 00:26:39.480
dodging to a song, kind of like, remember in

00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:43.380
Rayman Legends, those music levels? Yeah. Where

00:26:43.380 --> 00:26:45.519
you had to go across the map? Yes. It kind of

00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:47.940
feels like that. Where they only had one good

00:26:47.940 --> 00:26:51.269
song, and it was the first one. But it feels

00:26:51.269 --> 00:26:52.930
like an entire game of that, but it seems like

00:26:52.930 --> 00:26:55.549
all the characters are really cartoony and fun,

00:26:55.769 --> 00:26:58.730
and their songs seem really cool and inventive.

00:26:58.890 --> 00:27:01.190
It just seems like one of those really weird

00:27:01.190 --> 00:27:04.089
games, kind of like Lost in Random, that just

00:27:04.089 --> 00:27:06.690
has such a unique funk and style to it that I

00:27:06.690 --> 00:27:11.390
really think I'm going to vibe with. Okay. I

00:27:11.390 --> 00:27:14.369
like it. You know what's a game I have to get

00:27:14.369 --> 00:27:16.069
back into that's reminding me of the funk and

00:27:16.069 --> 00:27:20.460
style? What's that? Pacific Drive. Ooh, yeah.

00:27:20.940 --> 00:27:23.259
That game was so much fun. Yeah, I want to actually

00:27:23.259 --> 00:27:25.539
go in and beat it, but I stopped playing it because

00:27:25.539 --> 00:27:28.900
I was playing other games. Fair. Now I'm on a

00:27:28.900 --> 00:27:30.960
Baldur's Gate kick because I wanted to try a

00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:35.099
ranger build, and holy shit is it OP. I've been

00:27:35.099 --> 00:27:39.240
playing a couple of games. I just started, actually,

00:27:39.380 --> 00:27:44.420
the new fucking RoboCop Unfinished Business standalone

00:27:44.420 --> 00:27:48.480
DLC just came out. Oh, nice. So I bought that

00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:50.599
and started playing it today. Sounds like that's

00:27:50.599 --> 00:27:51.900
the next thing I want to play because I loved

00:27:51.900 --> 00:27:54.920
Robocop. Dude, I've started it. It's pretty great

00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:57.480
so far. It does kind of reset you back. You have

00:27:57.480 --> 00:27:59.619
the same kind of level up system as you did,

00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:01.400
and it kind of resets back to the beginning.

00:28:01.539 --> 00:28:04.339
That's fine. It's been so long since I played,

00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:06.240
it's probably good that I get reacquainted with

00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:08.960
the game. Yeah, honestly, it's pretty good. And

00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:10.680
it seems like it's set up like the movie Dread.

00:28:10.779 --> 00:28:13.279
I don't know if you've ever seen that. Yes. Well,

00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:15.819
I mean, Judge Dread, I know. I'm assuming it's

00:28:15.819 --> 00:28:18.970
just a playoff Judge Dread. Yes, exactly. Dread

00:28:18.970 --> 00:28:21.069
and Just Dread are the same. I've watched both

00:28:21.069 --> 00:28:23.569
of them. They're both good. The only one that's

00:28:23.569 --> 00:28:25.990
good is the Sylvester Stallone one, okay? I like

00:28:25.990 --> 00:28:27.849
the new one, the Carl River one. It's fun. Of

00:28:27.849 --> 00:28:32.690
course you do. But the way this story starts

00:28:32.690 --> 00:28:37.329
out is the precinct just gets attacked and Robocop

00:28:37.329 --> 00:28:40.390
comes in and the Sarge is just barely alive and

00:28:40.390 --> 00:28:43.829
he says that Omni Tower has a bunch of mercenaries

00:28:43.829 --> 00:28:45.970
that came and shot up the precinct and killed

00:28:45.970 --> 00:28:48.480
all these cops. You go there, the tower is locked

00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:50.900
down. All these civilians come out with guns.

00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:53.099
You have to make your way to the top to kill

00:28:53.099 --> 00:28:55.279
all the mercenaries. I'm like, oh my God, it's

00:28:55.279 --> 00:29:00.059
Judge Dredd. It sounds more like Die Hard. Same

00:29:00.059 --> 00:29:03.839
difference. It's every 80s action movie. Tower

00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:08.640
climbing. One man army. Now I know what a TV

00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:12.940
dinner feels like. Exactly. I've been having

00:29:12.940 --> 00:29:14.720
fun with it so far. It's hitting all the same

00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:17.319
spikes. I've had a couple of performance things

00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:20.640
where the frame rate crashes a little bit. You

00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:22.799
had that in the regular game though if I remember

00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:27.750
right. Just wanted to bring that up. Yeah. You

00:29:27.750 --> 00:29:30.390
have any other upcoming games? Yep. This is my

00:29:30.390 --> 00:29:32.289
last one. And this one's actually kind of exciting,

00:29:32.450 --> 00:29:35.150
but also kind of sad. I don't know how I'm going

00:29:35.150 --> 00:29:37.789
to feel. I love the DLC for it for the first

00:29:37.789 --> 00:29:40.789
game. It was so fucking good. And they didn't

00:29:40.789 --> 00:29:44.069
have the guy in that one. So I'm really hoping

00:29:44.069 --> 00:29:47.450
that somehow this is going to work even without

00:29:47.450 --> 00:29:52.859
Justin Roiland. But High on Life 2. oh yes that's

00:29:52.859 --> 00:29:55.900
coming out in quarter four i believe and i like

00:29:55.900 --> 00:29:58.000
i'm super excited because i loved high on life

00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:01.099
one i did fucking absolutely love that game agree

00:30:01.099 --> 00:30:03.759
yes but i'm nervous that they're gonna like the

00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:06.119
humor in that game is all written by roiland

00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:08.480
and without him they might lose a lot of their

00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:12.640
funniness that's true and it's hard to say because

00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:15.009
i haven't even watched rick and morty anymore

00:30:15.009 --> 00:30:16.609
like I haven't watched the newer seasons just

00:30:16.609 --> 00:30:18.210
because I stopped watching the show in general

00:30:18.210 --> 00:30:20.150
not because of Roiland or anything yeah yeah

00:30:20.150 --> 00:30:22.650
I mean the newer seasons there's no Justin Roiland

00:30:22.650 --> 00:30:24.349
it's two guys playing Rick and Morty no I know

00:30:24.349 --> 00:30:26.390
I know I know that's what I'm saying like it

00:30:26.390 --> 00:30:29.589
feels the same Dan Harmon was doing all the writing

00:30:29.589 --> 00:30:34.769
anyway so okay yeah but like honestly the DLC

00:30:34.769 --> 00:30:38.190
did really fucking good it's really tiny is the

00:30:38.190 --> 00:30:40.910
problem like if it wasn't so tiny if it was bigger

00:30:40.910 --> 00:30:42.690
than I'd say yeah they're gonna do a great job

00:30:43.369 --> 00:30:45.890
They can do a really good job in tiny doses without

00:30:45.890 --> 00:30:47.710
Roiland. I wonder how they're going to do in

00:30:47.710 --> 00:30:51.150
a full game. I hope they have more shitty movies.

00:30:51.390 --> 00:30:54.069
I want another hidden theater with another movie

00:30:54.069 --> 00:30:56.829
in it. Honestly, that was one of the reasons

00:30:56.829 --> 00:30:59.650
I got into shitty movies. What was the T -Rex

00:30:59.650 --> 00:31:04.190
movie? Tammy and the T -Rex. Tammy and the T

00:31:04.190 --> 00:31:07.430
-Rex. It's actually got Paul Walker and Denise

00:31:07.430 --> 00:31:09.869
Richards. Yeah, Paul Walker's in it. That's right.

00:31:10.349 --> 00:31:12.089
Yes, it's one of Paul Walker and Denise Richards'

00:31:12.289 --> 00:31:15.210
first movies. It's fucking hilarious. It's so

00:31:15.210 --> 00:31:17.369
bad. It's so terrible. I wonder if Paul Walker

00:31:17.369 --> 00:31:19.190
was alive, I wonder if he'd look back and say,

00:31:19.210 --> 00:31:21.309
I regret doing that, or that was probably a good

00:31:21.309 --> 00:31:24.230
idea. He'd probably be happy with it because

00:31:24.230 --> 00:31:26.609
it got him to where he was. Yeah, seriously.

00:31:26.690 --> 00:31:28.329
I mean, I think he should be. I think we should

00:31:28.329 --> 00:31:31.029
all be happy about where we start. Well, and

00:31:31.029 --> 00:31:33.779
honestly, sometimes some of those like... for

00:31:33.779 --> 00:31:36.319
like a friend are honestly sometimes more fun.

00:31:36.500 --> 00:31:38.599
Like even though the movies fit, they were more

00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:41.299
fun to do or more fun to film. Yeah, fair. So

00:31:41.299 --> 00:31:42.839
it could have been one of those kind of situations.

00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:46.619
I agree with you. I really hope they go on that

00:31:46.619 --> 00:31:48.900
like Mystery Science Theater 3000 trip again.

00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:51.140
Because they did that. They had the hidden theater

00:31:51.140 --> 00:31:53.200
where they actually played a Mystery Science

00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:55.099
Theater with the movie Demon Wind. You actually

00:31:55.099 --> 00:31:57.240
could watch the entirety of the movie. And if

00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:00.539
you did, you got an achievement even for we paid.

00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:04.180
to have the licensing to have this movie in here

00:32:04.180 --> 00:32:06.500
or something like that. It was ridiculous. I

00:32:06.500 --> 00:32:10.339
mean, they paid like $4. Come on. Licensing cannot

00:32:10.339 --> 00:32:11.920
be that expensive for that fucking movie. And

00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:14.680
it's a movie that both... Mystery Science Theater

00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:17.079
and Riff Tracks have both ripped apart too. And

00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:20.319
I own the actual copy of it and the Mystery Science

00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:23.680
Theater version of it. I love Mystery Science

00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:26.319
Theater 3000. That was the cool shit. Now it's

00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:28.660
garbage. They try to put Felicia Day in it. They

00:32:28.660 --> 00:32:30.839
try to put Patton Oswalt and they put that other

00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:33.000
guy in it. No, those are pretty decent. No, they're

00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:36.200
not as good. They weren't as good as the originals.

00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:38.859
The original guy is just so fucking funny it's

00:32:38.859 --> 00:32:41.460
hard to compete. The greatest thing is if you

00:32:41.460 --> 00:32:44.579
go to Riff Trax, a lot of the original or the

00:32:44.579 --> 00:32:47.440
best of the Crow mics and all that from Mystery

00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:50.180
Science Theater, three of those main guys have

00:32:50.180 --> 00:32:53.380
all actually gone on and done their spinoff thing,

00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:56.039
Riff Trax. Yeah. For the last, it's actually,

00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:57.839
they just hit their 19 year anniversary. I just

00:32:57.839 --> 00:32:59.400
bought a bunch of stuff from them. They're funny

00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:02.319
fucking dudes, so why not? well dude they actually

00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:03.880
have this uh they have their own like streaming

00:33:03.880 --> 00:33:06.019
service on their website it's seven dollars a

00:33:06.019 --> 00:33:09.019
month for a like access to half of their library

00:33:09.019 --> 00:33:11.140
of all the riffs so i've been watching a new

00:33:11.140 --> 00:33:13.480
one almost every fucking night it's that's nice

00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:16.539
that's cool uh but yeah high on life too super

00:33:16.539 --> 00:33:19.400
excited i'm really hoping it comes out and does

00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:22.400
a good job same all right i have one last one

00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:26.160
as well This one is one that I've heard of a

00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:27.720
couple times. I thought it was actually canceled,

00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:29.559
but I heard it actually is still coming out,

00:33:29.660 --> 00:33:34.359
so I'm really excited for it. Marvel 1943, Rise

00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:39.099
of Hydra. Okay. Is it a Captain America game,

00:33:39.140 --> 00:33:40.720
or are they going to include some of the other

00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:42.779
heroes around that time? It's Captain America

00:33:42.779 --> 00:33:45.740
and Black Panther, but I think it's Black Panther's

00:33:45.740 --> 00:33:51.140
dad, T 'Chaka. Okay, but no Wolverine, no...

00:33:52.059 --> 00:33:53.839
Not from what they've shown. They've only shown

00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:56.519
Cap in Black Panther so far. Interesting, because

00:33:56.519 --> 00:33:58.960
Wolverine was definitely there. He's got whole

00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:01.460
storylines in World War II. Yeah, he's got whole

00:34:01.460 --> 00:34:03.420
storylines fighting in the war, but I don't know

00:34:03.420 --> 00:34:05.539
necessarily if they crossed paths necessarily.

00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:09.900
Yeah, they did. Remember, there was a whole thing,

00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:12.400
and I'm trying to remember why it happened. Originally,

00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:15.340
when Cap got frozen, it was intentionally, not

00:34:15.340 --> 00:34:19.349
by accident like the movies sell it as. And it

00:34:19.349 --> 00:34:21.929
was because his body was degrading and Wolverine

00:34:21.929 --> 00:34:24.309
was the one who actually convinced him to freeze

00:34:24.309 --> 00:34:29.670
so he wouldn't die. But I mean, they haven't

00:34:29.670 --> 00:34:31.050
showed anything with that and Wolverine's getting

00:34:31.050 --> 00:34:33.710
his own game coming out. All right. Insomniac's

00:34:33.710 --> 00:34:35.710
doing a Wolverine game. I'm kind of tired of

00:34:35.710 --> 00:34:38.119
the Wolverine games, but it's fine. We haven't

00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:40.599
had a Wolverine game in a while. The last Wolverine

00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:45.280
game was Liza P. Overture DLC. Well, I mean,

00:34:45.300 --> 00:34:47.639
they had a cool... Dude, I still... We've talked

00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:49.519
about this before. What was that game? Marvel

00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:52.760
Ultimate Alliance? Dude, that game. Fucking the

00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:57.139
best when it came to creating these X -Men and...

00:34:57.139 --> 00:35:00.139
Well, there's the X -Men Legends, too. Those

00:35:00.139 --> 00:35:01.400
are pretty decent games. X -Men Legends is really

00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:03.260
good, too, because I think that followed the

00:35:03.260 --> 00:35:06.780
story of Apocalypse, right? Yes. Yes. I think

00:35:06.780 --> 00:35:08.760
the second one was like all of those games were

00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:11.239
so fucking good. Like they did a great job. And

00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:13.559
now we get these shit single like action games.

00:35:13.699 --> 00:35:16.139
I really hope they do justice with Rise of Hydra.

00:35:16.500 --> 00:35:18.860
I have my doubts because they keep fucking them

00:35:18.860 --> 00:35:21.699
up. Yeah. I mean, there's been an occasional

00:35:21.699 --> 00:35:23.980
game here and there that does some things right.

00:35:24.139 --> 00:35:26.980
But yeah, there's not been like an X -Men game.

00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:29.159
It's been a lot of times like Marvel games that

00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:31.300
have X -Men characters in them. Yeah. Marvel

00:35:31.300 --> 00:35:33.639
Rivals does the X -Men characters really well.

00:35:34.170 --> 00:35:37.449
uh i think marvel uh the turn -based marvel game

00:35:37.449 --> 00:35:39.989
i can't remember what that was called um that

00:35:39.989 --> 00:35:42.230
one was really good and did some x -men characters

00:35:42.230 --> 00:35:44.530
really well as well but yeah they haven't had

00:35:44.530 --> 00:35:48.570
a good x -men game since what 2001 probably no

00:35:48.570 --> 00:35:52.050
2005 i think but yeah i mean i think you're right

00:35:52.050 --> 00:35:53.730
and i'm hoping this works out and i kind of wish

00:35:53.730 --> 00:35:55.809
it was a double a game i'm sure it's a triple

00:35:55.809 --> 00:35:58.210
a but i wish it was a double a I can't remember

00:35:58.210 --> 00:36:01.130
who's doing it, but it looks really great from

00:36:01.130 --> 00:36:02.889
everything I've seen so far. The cutscenes and

00:36:02.889 --> 00:36:05.530
everything look great in it, so I'm excited to

00:36:05.530 --> 00:36:09.070
see what's coming from it. I also just heard

00:36:09.070 --> 00:36:11.690
that Spider -Man 3 was announced and Venom's

00:36:11.690 --> 00:36:14.309
getting his own game, so I haven't heard anything

00:36:14.309 --> 00:36:16.190
about those, but I'm stupid excited for both

00:36:16.190 --> 00:36:19.150
of those. Nice. All right, well, why don't we

00:36:19.150 --> 00:36:21.929
jump right into our next little hot take? We're

00:36:21.929 --> 00:36:23.750
going to be talking about cutscenes and how we

00:36:23.750 --> 00:36:30.500
feel about them. Yes. For the most part, I don't

00:36:30.500 --> 00:36:32.460
really play games for cutscenes. I'm going to

00:36:32.460 --> 00:36:35.780
be honest. Are you a cutscene skipper? Yeah,

00:36:35.820 --> 00:36:37.980
not a skipper. I will watch it the first time

00:36:37.980 --> 00:36:39.940
I play a game, and then after that, I do not

00:36:39.940 --> 00:36:42.760
give a shit. That's fair. I am that way with

00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:44.840
most games, especially speedrunning a second

00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:47.380
playthrough or something, unless I really love

00:36:47.380 --> 00:36:49.940
that certain cutscene for a certain reason. Yeah.

00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:52.900
yeah and i mean like i can think of a select

00:36:52.900 --> 00:36:55.099
few cut scenes where i'm actually like this is

00:36:55.099 --> 00:36:56.880
fucking sweet and the only one that really comes

00:36:56.880 --> 00:36:58.820
to mind ever when i think of cool cut scenes

00:36:58.820 --> 00:37:01.559
is the mass effect one when the first mass effect

00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:03.840
when all the ships are battling because i just

00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:06.440
love those giant open fields like if you show

00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:08.820
me a giant battle that's happening i will likely

00:37:08.820 --> 00:37:10.639
watch the cut scene because i think it's sweet

00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:13.829
to watch it like it's pretty fucking cool The

00:37:13.829 --> 00:37:15.429
only other ones I can think of, like Project

00:37:15.429 --> 00:37:17.250
Sylphid, I love the cutscenes in that one because

00:37:17.250 --> 00:37:19.389
they would show an entire planet getting decimated

00:37:19.389 --> 00:37:22.090
by just a giant fucking weapon from space. And

00:37:22.090 --> 00:37:26.130
those are really sweet cutscenes. And the other

00:37:26.130 --> 00:37:29.030
one I can think of, remember, what was that game

00:37:29.030 --> 00:37:31.429
we played, the Sega game? The one we really liked.

00:37:31.429 --> 00:37:33.030
Are you talking about the planet -destroying

00:37:33.030 --> 00:37:38.289
one kind of one? No, the one where you're a soldier

00:37:38.289 --> 00:37:43.000
with the experimental armor. Vanquish. vanquish

00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:45.599
yes and the beginning part of that like it's

00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:47.980
not that interesting but the fact that they show

00:37:47.980 --> 00:37:50.340
an entire fucking city san francisco i think

00:37:50.340 --> 00:37:52.539
it was getting just completely annihilated yeah

00:37:52.539 --> 00:37:55.480
that was god that was it was so fucking cool

00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:58.239
like that shit is cool and it doesn't last too

00:37:58.239 --> 00:37:59.940
long but then you get these like final fantasy

00:37:59.940 --> 00:38:01.579
cut scenes they're like we have to tell a whole

00:38:01.579 --> 00:38:04.519
story in 30 minutes to do a cut scene here because

00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:06.360
you need a lot of backstory to understand what's

00:38:06.360 --> 00:38:08.769
happening Yeah, and I mean, don't get me wrong.

00:38:08.829 --> 00:38:10.630
There's times and places for some of those, and

00:38:10.630 --> 00:38:13.250
some of those are fantastic. And if you are all

00:38:13.250 --> 00:38:15.530
in on those games, then I know that those are

00:38:15.530 --> 00:38:17.869
something you absolutely love. They're beautiful

00:38:17.869 --> 00:38:20.210
production values and everything. There's something

00:38:20.210 --> 00:38:23.070
that I can always be like, I can appreciate everything

00:38:23.070 --> 00:38:25.670
that went into it. Might not always be for me,

00:38:25.710 --> 00:38:28.329
especially because of the way I play games sometimes.

00:38:28.530 --> 00:38:30.030
And a lot of times I'm like, I want to play just

00:38:30.030 --> 00:38:31.849
for a little, like an hour. And then I'm like,

00:38:31.889 --> 00:38:34.250
oh, okay, well, I didn't know I was going to

00:38:34.250 --> 00:38:36.710
spend 15 minutes walking and then a 30 minute.

00:38:37.150 --> 00:38:40.110
cut scene and now i'm not really playing at all

00:38:40.110 --> 00:38:42.630
like that's kind of a bummer when you think about

00:38:42.630 --> 00:38:45.130
other games like balder's gate right like i said

00:38:45.130 --> 00:38:47.809
i'm on a big balder's gate kick and they don't

00:38:47.809 --> 00:38:50.289
have cut scenes really in that game they do and

00:38:50.289 --> 00:38:52.750
they don't they always lead up to conversations

00:38:52.750 --> 00:38:55.630
and you have choices in the conversation so it's

00:38:55.630 --> 00:38:59.309
not so like boring to watch like you are actually

00:38:59.309 --> 00:39:01.349
interested because you are making choices as

00:39:01.349 --> 00:39:04.510
you are essentially part of the cut scene True.

00:39:04.650 --> 00:39:07.710
Which is a much better way to do it, in my opinion.

00:39:08.289 --> 00:39:10.710
True. I do have one Baldur's Creed 3 cutscene

00:39:10.710 --> 00:39:12.650
that I wrote down as one that was a standout

00:39:12.650 --> 00:39:16.489
for me, though. Go for it. It was Asterion's

00:39:16.489 --> 00:39:19.329
ending the cycle cutscene. Like, if you take

00:39:19.329 --> 00:39:21.929
him to the vampire tomes or whatever, and you

00:39:21.929 --> 00:39:25.050
have him actually end the cycle and not ascend,

00:39:25.349 --> 00:39:28.550
that cutscene is pretty wild, and the emotion

00:39:28.550 --> 00:39:31.210
and stuff that he gets into, and the depth, like

00:39:31.210 --> 00:39:33.400
that. character goes through when he actually

00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:35.539
like kills him and then is like crying that he

00:39:35.539 --> 00:39:37.840
didn't take the power but also like crying because

00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:40.280
he's finally free and i'm like dude it's it's

00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:43.099
pretty powerful it's crazy and that's so true

00:39:43.099 --> 00:39:44.780
like there's some cut scenes that are really

00:39:44.780 --> 00:39:46.980
good but for the most part and like that again

00:39:46.980 --> 00:39:49.179
that's a cut scene where you spend maybe what

00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:52.340
45 seconds, two minutes watching the cutscene

00:39:52.340 --> 00:39:54.780
and you are a part of the cutscene again. Like,

00:39:54.780 --> 00:39:57.460
yeah, I really enjoy that aspect of cutscenes.

00:39:57.500 --> 00:39:59.539
I just fucking hate it when I have to sit there,

00:39:59.619 --> 00:40:01.860
stop everything I'm doing, all the momentum I

00:40:01.860 --> 00:40:04.039
gain playing the game just to watch someone do

00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:06.860
something. Yeah, there's some games that also

00:40:06.860 --> 00:40:09.800
really build up really well to them. I think

00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:12.099
one of like the best like intro cutscene buildups

00:40:12.099 --> 00:40:15.320
ever. It's actually in Bioshock. like when you

00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:18.059
first like you crash land you uh swim out to

00:40:18.059 --> 00:40:20.219
the island and then you you get into the elevator

00:40:20.219 --> 00:40:23.079
and that first like intro cut scene as you see

00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:25.809
rapture that welcome to rapture. And then you

00:40:25.809 --> 00:40:27.570
like start going through and you're seeing how

00:40:27.570 --> 00:40:29.449
beautiful this place is, but then it quickly

00:40:29.449 --> 00:40:32.070
goes from beautiful to horrifying. But remember,

00:40:32.289 --> 00:40:34.769
that's also an interactive cut scene. You can

00:40:34.769 --> 00:40:37.750
move around during that. That is the thing. Like

00:40:37.750 --> 00:40:40.369
that seems to be the magic trick, making an interactive

00:40:40.369 --> 00:40:42.869
cut scene, make it so people can do things while

00:40:42.869 --> 00:40:46.309
they're admiring the beauty. And a lot of people

00:40:46.309 --> 00:40:48.570
bring up, it's not necessarily a cut scene, but

00:40:48.570 --> 00:40:50.510
even like the giraffe scenes and stuff like that

00:40:50.510 --> 00:40:52.849
in Last of Us. When you're able to pet the giraffe

00:40:52.849 --> 00:40:54.710
and you go into like a mini cut scene of petting

00:40:54.710 --> 00:40:56.630
the giraffe. And I was like, you want that. You

00:40:56.630 --> 00:40:58.530
want to watch that. You want to see that. You

00:40:58.530 --> 00:41:00.550
went up for it for that reason. Yeah, you're

00:41:00.550 --> 00:41:03.349
making that choice. And games like for the new

00:41:03.349 --> 00:41:07.710
Final Fantasy and games like Persona 5. You are

00:41:07.710 --> 00:41:11.510
just... forced into fucking insane storylines

00:41:11.510 --> 00:41:14.329
you know even in um we played another game what

00:41:14.329 --> 00:41:17.929
was the jumping game jumping a cat catherine

00:41:17.929 --> 00:41:20.110
i think it was called oh yeah yeah the one where

00:41:20.110 --> 00:41:24.070
you're climbing yeah yeah so that 95 of that

00:41:24.070 --> 00:41:27.070
game is cut scenes and that game is really good

00:41:27.070 --> 00:41:29.550
when you're actually doing things like it's actually

00:41:29.550 --> 00:41:32.449
a lot of fun but so many passive is crazy yeah

00:41:32.829 --> 00:41:34.769
Yeah, but even just being in the bar and like

00:41:34.769 --> 00:41:36.409
hanging out with people and talking with them

00:41:36.409 --> 00:41:39.210
and like shit, that's a lot of cool things, too.

00:41:39.329 --> 00:41:42.130
But then you get fucking stuck on doing goddamn

00:41:42.130 --> 00:41:44.110
cut scenes for half an hour and you're like,

00:41:44.190 --> 00:41:47.070
God damn, can we stop? I want the story, but

00:41:47.070 --> 00:41:49.269
can you make it like intuitive enough so I'm

00:41:49.269 --> 00:41:51.210
getting the story while I'm playing? Like, is

00:41:51.210 --> 00:41:57.429
that possible? Yeah. One of the cut scenes that

00:41:57.429 --> 00:42:00.289
I think recently did kind of interactive, but

00:42:00.289 --> 00:42:03.519
also. kept it short in a way, but like they kind

00:42:03.519 --> 00:42:05.280
of broke up the cut scenes throughout the game

00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:09.659
was Alan Wake 2. Alan Wake 2 did this really

00:42:09.659 --> 00:42:12.280
amazing thing where they actually have this four

00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:16.840
part musical explaining the entire story of both

00:42:16.840 --> 00:42:21.219
Alan Wake games. Okay. It's nine and a half minutes

00:42:21.219 --> 00:42:23.420
in total, but you watch it in four parts throughout

00:42:23.420 --> 00:42:25.500
the game and you actually like interact with

00:42:25.500 --> 00:42:27.409
the beginning and the end of the scenes. and

00:42:27.409 --> 00:42:29.889
you walk into these sets and stuff, and then

00:42:29.889 --> 00:42:34.750
it's live action with the band, with the band

00:42:34.750 --> 00:42:38.070
Old Gods of Asgard, and they're back for the

00:42:38.070 --> 00:42:40.710
game. Nice. And they do this song called Herald

00:42:40.710 --> 00:42:43.329
of Darkness, and this song was so good and won

00:42:43.329 --> 00:42:44.909
so many awards, and this cutscene actually won

00:42:44.909 --> 00:42:47.429
a bunch of awards, I think, and they even performed

00:42:47.429 --> 00:42:52.690
the cutscene live at the music awards. Like,

00:42:52.690 --> 00:42:56.929
this is... peak of cutscene cinema and it's such

00:42:56.929 --> 00:42:59.869
an epic song and it's so cool and if you're interested

00:42:59.869 --> 00:43:01.989
in the story like it really does go over like

00:43:01.989 --> 00:43:04.889
everything in these nine and a half minutes it's

00:43:04.889 --> 00:43:07.750
crazy how well they do this in a kick -ass song

00:43:07.750 --> 00:43:11.670
with a weird vibed musical but it's so awesome

00:43:11.670 --> 00:43:14.210
like the main character comes out and he's like

00:43:14.210 --> 00:43:17.139
um It's like a talk show, and he's like, I'm

00:43:17.139 --> 00:43:19.539
here to introduce Alan Wake and the Old Gods

00:43:19.539 --> 00:43:22.599
of Asgard performing Herald of Darkness, or as

00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:26.000
I like to call it, the story of Alan Wake, the

00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:31.840
musical. So stupid. It's so good, though. It

00:43:31.840 --> 00:43:34.239
really is. The second game, I haven't finished

00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:36.800
it yet, but I've been really enjoying all the

00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:39.340
depth and craziness it goes into that builds

00:43:39.340 --> 00:43:42.829
on the first one. okay all right i like it i

00:43:42.829 --> 00:43:45.269
mean for the most part like there are some fun

00:43:45.269 --> 00:43:47.909
like things and cut scenes that you can watch

00:43:47.909 --> 00:43:50.969
when you think about like donkey kong 64 and

00:43:50.969 --> 00:43:53.630
the opening scene where they're just doing the

00:43:53.630 --> 00:43:55.650
rap you know it's kind of fun just to sit and

00:43:55.650 --> 00:43:58.090
watch it for a couple minutes like and you have

00:43:58.090 --> 00:44:00.210
that choice too you don't have to but it's fun

00:44:00.210 --> 00:44:02.929
to do and i think they did that one right oh

00:44:02.929 --> 00:44:04.989
yeah i love a lot of games that have like idle

00:44:04.989 --> 00:44:06.510
cut scenes and stuff like when you're on menus

00:44:06.510 --> 00:44:08.889
and go into those kind of thing i like to think

00:44:08.889 --> 00:44:11.050
those are even underrated a lot of times i think

00:44:11.050 --> 00:44:12.789
even like banjo kazooie had that where like the

00:44:12.789 --> 00:44:14.449
band would start playing and stuff like that

00:44:14.449 --> 00:44:17.190
in the house and they see all this like adventure

00:44:17.190 --> 00:44:18.849
and then like just walk around their everyday

00:44:18.849 --> 00:44:21.650
life you're like what in the world it'd be funny

00:44:21.650 --> 00:44:24.070
if you pause the game and like suddenly banjo

00:44:24.070 --> 00:44:26.429
or someone whoever your character is goes back

00:44:26.429 --> 00:44:28.989
to their house and opens their fridge realizes

00:44:28.989 --> 00:44:30.670
they don't have any milk they're like fuck and

00:44:30.670 --> 00:44:33.239
they go to the grocery store and they Like do

00:44:33.239 --> 00:44:35.139
all the normal shit. And then when you unpause,

00:44:35.260 --> 00:44:36.940
they have to rush back to where they were and

00:44:36.940 --> 00:44:38.219
they're out of breath or something. That would

00:44:38.219 --> 00:44:41.619
be fun. That would be funny. Uh, other things

00:44:41.619 --> 00:44:43.059
though, like we were talking about like short

00:44:43.059 --> 00:44:45.099
cut scenes being really impactful. Like you think

00:44:45.099 --> 00:44:48.639
about a far cry three with Voss, his definition

00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:51.039
of an insanity speeches. Those are all pretty

00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:53.320
short. There are a couple minutes each time.

00:44:53.739 --> 00:44:55.539
like less than five minutes every time he captures

00:44:55.539 --> 00:44:57.159
you and it's annoying every time he captures

00:44:57.159 --> 00:44:59.420
you and it kind of does take you out a little

00:44:59.420 --> 00:45:01.500
bit because that game's so action -packed most

00:45:01.500 --> 00:45:03.139
of the time that take you out for even five minutes

00:45:03.139 --> 00:45:06.699
feels like a lot but those precious like five

00:45:06.699 --> 00:45:09.760
minutes those few times really encapsulated the

00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:11.159
character like he's almost like the hannibal

00:45:11.159 --> 00:45:13.239
lecter of the video game world like he got so

00:45:13.239 --> 00:45:15.219
little screen time and everyone's like foss is

00:45:15.219 --> 00:45:19.219
the best fucking he's number one which i mean

00:45:19.219 --> 00:45:21.119
i'm not even the main bad guy in the fucking

00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:24.119
game no i know that's the funniest thing hoyt

00:45:24.119 --> 00:45:26.780
is which who who the fuck even remembers hoyt

00:45:26.780 --> 00:45:29.659
i i remember hoyt because you had to go and kill

00:45:29.659 --> 00:45:31.860
him all you gambling i think if i remember right

00:45:32.269 --> 00:45:35.710
i think so yeah but i mean like some really get

00:45:35.710 --> 00:45:37.670
those cut scenes down right in those short amount

00:45:37.670 --> 00:45:42.489
of times yeah and you know you'll see that and

00:45:42.489 --> 00:45:46.329
that's great but honestly i just i like cut scenes

00:45:46.329 --> 00:45:49.150
i really do and some of them are really fun you

00:45:49.150 --> 00:45:51.650
know when i play as guys of arcadia they do have

00:45:51.650 --> 00:45:53.949
long cut scenes in that but it's exposition it's

00:45:53.949 --> 00:45:56.130
explaining story motifs and everything like that

00:45:56.130 --> 00:46:00.039
and they're not You spend a good amount of time

00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:02.559
in the open world before you get a five or 10

00:46:02.559 --> 00:46:05.199
minute cut scene. Yeah. Which I think that's

00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:07.639
the balance too. You have to like really balance.

00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:09.519
When are you putting these cut scenes in the

00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:12.639
game and what's the attitude around them? Are

00:46:12.639 --> 00:46:15.340
you giving players time to like explore before

00:46:15.340 --> 00:46:17.280
they have to do a cut scene? Cause if you're

00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:20.199
not, you're doing it wrong. I feel like. I think

00:46:20.199 --> 00:46:23.179
the one game that balances that the best and

00:46:23.179 --> 00:46:25.699
honestly probably has arguably the best cut scenes

00:46:25.699 --> 00:46:29.530
of any video game ever. Diablo 3 and Diablo 4

00:46:29.530 --> 00:46:33.030
say what you want about those games I think they

00:46:33.030 --> 00:46:38.050
balance fuck you they're awesome at least 3 is

00:46:38.050 --> 00:46:41.409
incredible I still really enjoyed 4 too I mean

00:46:41.409 --> 00:46:43.809
I enjoyed it it just wasn't my thing it's not

00:46:43.809 --> 00:46:45.730
my favorite no no it's fair it's not a lot of

00:46:45.730 --> 00:46:48.469
people saying it I get why it's a grindy fuck

00:46:48.469 --> 00:46:51.909
it's such a mess it's so difficult it's got a

00:46:51.909 --> 00:46:54.090
lot of things but like that's the thing though

00:46:54.090 --> 00:46:57.260
you'll play like six hours of the game. And then

00:46:57.260 --> 00:47:01.019
you'll watch the most beautiful 15 to 20 minute

00:47:01.019 --> 00:47:04.059
cut scene ever. That gives the most great story.

00:47:04.340 --> 00:47:06.260
And like, like one of my favorite cut scenes,

00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:08.900
especially in four. And it's even got over 13

00:47:08.900 --> 00:47:11.000
million views on YouTube alone. Just this one

00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:14.460
scene of it is the Anarius army versus Lilith

00:47:14.460 --> 00:47:18.719
army. Yeah. and arias thinks he'll go back into

00:47:18.719 --> 00:47:21.440
heaven if he starts to get things right and take

00:47:21.440 --> 00:47:23.639
out lilith and her army and leaves this like

00:47:23.639 --> 00:47:26.219
religious army and it's just this epic battle

00:47:26.219 --> 00:47:29.019
of humans and demons and then he's like flies

00:47:29.019 --> 00:47:31.219
out there with these giant wings and goes up

00:47:31.219 --> 00:47:34.539
to lilith and she ends up like basically like

00:47:34.539 --> 00:47:37.059
letting him stab her and then be like you think

00:47:37.059 --> 00:47:39.920
god's gonna listen to you you think the heavens

00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:42.599
are gonna let you in no and then takes out the

00:47:42.599 --> 00:47:44.539
blade and stabs him back with the one that she

00:47:44.539 --> 00:47:47.650
just had in her and it's like Jesus Christ. But

00:47:47.650 --> 00:47:49.130
it's like, it's seriously, it's some of the most

00:47:49.130 --> 00:47:50.809
beautiful animation. I would watch an entire

00:47:50.809 --> 00:47:54.489
movie or TV series filmed in this style. I don't

00:47:54.489 --> 00:47:55.969
know how they do the cut scenes the way they

00:47:55.969 --> 00:47:58.769
do because it's unmatched in my opinion to most.

00:47:58.909 --> 00:48:02.070
It's ridiculous how beautiful they are. But I

00:48:02.070 --> 00:48:04.869
think that is just incredible. Yeah. And like

00:48:04.869 --> 00:48:06.909
I said, you get a lot of gameplay before that

00:48:06.909 --> 00:48:09.110
cut scene happens. And I think that's the important

00:48:09.110 --> 00:48:11.110
thing too. You have to feel accomplished before

00:48:11.110 --> 00:48:13.809
you get a 30 minute cut scene. If you don't,

00:48:13.809 --> 00:48:16.489
then you're just bored. Yeah, I mean, there's

00:48:16.489 --> 00:48:19.269
games like that Quantum Break game that came

00:48:19.269 --> 00:48:22.949
out that after every mission, there's a half

00:48:22.949 --> 00:48:26.909
-hour TV show. Oh, my God. It's both a TV show

00:48:26.909 --> 00:48:30.489
and a video game, and it's actually a full -length

00:48:30.489 --> 00:48:33.230
TV show, too. But how long are the missions?

00:48:34.110 --> 00:48:37.369
The missions, if I remember right, like an hour,

00:48:37.550 --> 00:48:40.469
two hours, maybe. Okay, well, maybe that's okay,

00:48:40.610 --> 00:48:44.070
but... It means if you spend two hours, one -fourth

00:48:44.070 --> 00:48:45.809
of that mission is going to be just the next

00:48:45.809 --> 00:48:47.769
30 minutes of your life watching a fucking TV

00:48:47.769 --> 00:48:51.269
show. Yes. Too much. I think there's a full six

00:48:51.269 --> 00:48:55.269
or eight episodes in this game through the story.

00:48:55.550 --> 00:48:57.690
It's an interesting story, but there was times

00:48:57.690 --> 00:49:00.309
where I'm like, I want to play the game. I don't

00:49:00.309 --> 00:49:03.070
want to spend much of the episode right now.

00:49:03.369 --> 00:49:04.690
Don't get me wrong. Some of the episodes are

00:49:04.690 --> 00:49:06.489
great, but other episodes I was like, I'd rather

00:49:06.489 --> 00:49:09.369
be playing. Why am I here? I don't want to be

00:49:09.369 --> 00:49:12.829
here. And it's funny, like Mass Effect will do

00:49:12.829 --> 00:49:14.969
and a lot of Bioware games do this, to be honest.

00:49:15.010 --> 00:49:18.369
They do the like sex scenes for their romances,

00:49:18.389 --> 00:49:22.849
you know, like Mass Effect. Andromeda? Yeah,

00:49:23.250 --> 00:49:24.909
Andromeda is the one where you get to see tits.

00:49:24.909 --> 00:49:26.869
But 1, 2, 3, you do not get to see anything.

00:49:27.010 --> 00:49:30.130
You just see the bra, right? I mean, not like

00:49:30.130 --> 00:49:32.710
you need to see tits. I think Dragon Age is similar.

00:49:32.789 --> 00:49:34.989
I think the first two. Well, actually, in the

00:49:34.989 --> 00:49:37.630
first one, you technically see like boobs, but

00:49:37.630 --> 00:49:41.940
it's... part of an horrifying it's slowly becoming

00:49:41.940 --> 00:49:44.480
a more and more normal thing in a lot of yeah

00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:46.400
and it's like it does nothing for me it's not

00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:48.840
like yeah i want to see those two like it's a

00:49:48.840 --> 00:49:50.719
fucking fake character i don't i don't give a

00:49:50.719 --> 00:49:53.280
shit either way yeah i'm not going to my computer

00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:55.800
screen wanting to see that necessarily yeah but

00:49:55.800 --> 00:49:59.039
you'll get like cut scenes like that where like

00:49:59.039 --> 00:50:02.000
they're supposed to invoke almost a horny response

00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:04.440
from the guys and i think like that's maybe to

00:50:04.440 --> 00:50:06.480
get their youtube channel up or maybe to get

00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:08.840
their their game up to that point because they

00:50:08.840 --> 00:50:10.659
usually put that near the end of the game too

00:50:10.659 --> 00:50:12.639
which is an interesting thing so if you were

00:50:12.639 --> 00:50:15.559
really into seeing one of the characters boobs

00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:17.219
you have to wait all the way till the end of

00:50:17.219 --> 00:50:19.039
the game to do it right you have to get to the

00:50:19.039 --> 00:50:21.699
last part of the romance options you have to

00:50:21.699 --> 00:50:24.480
fill up the romance bar all the way yeah yeah

00:50:24.480 --> 00:50:26.440
so like and i wonder if that's a strategy of

00:50:26.440 --> 00:50:28.610
theirs these horny guys are gonna want to see

00:50:28.610 --> 00:50:30.750
tits so let's just throw them at the end of the

00:50:30.750 --> 00:50:32.570
game and then they'll play our game all the way

00:50:32.570 --> 00:50:34.750
through and then larian's like you want to fuck

00:50:34.750 --> 00:50:37.590
a bear you can fuck a bear you will fuck in the

00:50:37.590 --> 00:50:39.349
first four minutes you can fuck in the first

00:50:39.349 --> 00:50:42.230
four minutes you can lazel i think offers like

00:50:42.230 --> 00:50:46.139
five minutes the game it's it's i'm like whoa

00:50:46.139 --> 00:50:49.400
jesus all right i get the attitude of these cut

00:50:49.400 --> 00:50:52.079
scenes too like i understand it's a cut scene

00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:56.099
to show a naked person to invoke a more emotional

00:50:56.099 --> 00:50:58.699
response from people because like when are we

00:50:58.699 --> 00:51:00.780
at our most vulnerable with our partners probably

00:51:00.780 --> 00:51:03.519
during sex right like that's just it's what it

00:51:03.519 --> 00:51:06.219
is we're naked we're we're in a state of passion

00:51:06.219 --> 00:51:08.639
like and i get what they're doing with those

00:51:08.639 --> 00:51:11.320
cut scenes and i understand it They're not always

00:51:11.320 --> 00:51:13.340
super necessary is what I'm saying. They're not

00:51:13.340 --> 00:51:15.219
all super necessary, but some of them are really

00:51:15.219 --> 00:51:17.679
great. Like, I got to say the Gale sex scenes

00:51:17.679 --> 00:51:21.099
alone, dude. Like, I don't think I had sex with

00:51:21.099 --> 00:51:25.000
Gale until my third playthrough. But he goes,

00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:26.860
he does this thing with magic where he makes

00:51:26.860 --> 00:51:29.820
it all illusionary where you're like these godly

00:51:29.820 --> 00:51:32.639
beings in space that are the size of planet.

00:51:33.610 --> 00:51:35.590
having sex. And then all of a sudden he makes

00:51:35.590 --> 00:51:38.070
it. So like eight of him are around you, like

00:51:38.070 --> 00:51:40.349
all touching you and fucking you in different

00:51:40.349 --> 00:51:44.250
ways. And it's like, what kind of wizardry bullshit?

00:51:44.250 --> 00:51:46.630
Like, he's like, I'm going to give you ever pleasure.

00:51:46.730 --> 00:51:49.630
You've never, ever thought you'd even have. And

00:51:49.630 --> 00:51:53.880
it's like, I mean, All right. I think there is

00:51:53.880 --> 00:51:57.059
a sort of satisfaction because you did build

00:51:57.059 --> 00:51:58.739
these characters up in a certain way. And you're

00:51:58.739 --> 00:52:00.519
like, well, then we can talk about how they have

00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:02.280
sex, too, because these characters are going

00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:05.480
to, you know, their emotions outside of the sex

00:52:05.480 --> 00:52:09.119
probably will bleed into sex. Right. Oh, yeah.

00:52:09.179 --> 00:52:10.900
I mean, like one of the funniest things I find

00:52:10.900 --> 00:52:12.699
about the game is you can actually have a threesome

00:52:12.699 --> 00:52:17.280
in the game with Will. No, it was Will with Gail

00:52:17.280 --> 00:52:25.039
and Halston. But you have to tell them both about

00:52:25.039 --> 00:52:29.440
it and get them both to agree to it. Okay. And

00:52:29.440 --> 00:52:32.800
if you open about it, then they will. If Gale

00:52:32.800 --> 00:52:35.500
is willing to make eight of him, I'm sure he's

00:52:35.500 --> 00:52:37.679
willing to have three. So you know what I mean,

00:52:37.679 --> 00:52:41.119
right? But if he's not, he's a fucking hypocrite.

00:52:41.199 --> 00:52:43.699
He even said he would only do it for like...

00:52:44.400 --> 00:52:46.579
with someone he absolutely loved and something

00:52:46.579 --> 00:52:49.820
like that oh that's weird like it was it was

00:52:49.820 --> 00:52:52.139
such a weird thing but it was kind of funny or

00:52:52.139 --> 00:52:54.699
I can't remember exactly what it was but I remember

00:52:54.699 --> 00:52:59.340
like Halston being like well if he knows about

00:52:59.340 --> 00:53:02.320
it and he's okay with it then I'm down okay I

00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:04.880
mean Halston's about nature and nature they do

00:53:04.880 --> 00:53:09.659
that so yeah yeah I think other times like I

00:53:09.659 --> 00:53:12.300
wanted to bring up one other thing with it. Like

00:53:12.300 --> 00:53:16.460
sometimes boss entrances have cut scenes. And

00:53:16.460 --> 00:53:18.579
like some of them, especially in like Souls likes,

00:53:18.719 --> 00:53:20.300
they're really beautiful. They're great ways

00:53:20.300 --> 00:53:22.880
to introduce the characters. But also some of

00:53:22.880 --> 00:53:24.820
them are unskippable or have unskippable parts

00:53:24.820 --> 00:53:26.880
of them that are like 30 seconds, 40 seconds

00:53:26.880 --> 00:53:29.880
long. In a game where you have to, sometimes

00:53:29.880 --> 00:53:33.300
you're going to stall a player at that boss fight

00:53:33.300 --> 00:53:36.730
for 50 tries. Yeah. It's really annoying to have

00:53:36.730 --> 00:53:39.710
really scenes. I can't remember. I just played

00:53:39.710 --> 00:53:41.789
a game where they did that, where I just kept

00:53:41.789 --> 00:53:43.590
dying at this boss. And I'm like, and of course

00:53:43.590 --> 00:53:45.250
I have to watch this fucking cut scene again.

00:53:45.289 --> 00:53:47.730
And I watched it 40 fucking times and I'm, I'm

00:53:47.730 --> 00:53:49.769
super getting pissed off and I'm about to put

00:53:49.769 --> 00:53:51.309
the game down and never fucking touch it again.

00:53:51.369 --> 00:53:53.610
Like, and it was a matter of the cut scene is

00:53:53.610 --> 00:53:57.010
10 seconds or a minute. Like you were equally

00:53:57.010 --> 00:54:00.480
as pissed off for having to wait that. over and

00:54:00.480 --> 00:54:03.260
over and over and over. I mean, if you do have

00:54:03.260 --> 00:54:06.739
to fight it 50 times, it's 50 minutes if it's

00:54:06.739 --> 00:54:09.400
a minute long. If it's 10 seconds long, I don't

00:54:09.400 --> 00:54:11.340
know. I'm not going to do my 500 seconds. If

00:54:11.340 --> 00:54:12.679
it's a Souls -like game, it could be a 10 minute

00:54:12.679 --> 00:54:14.860
long fight that you do 50 times and you don't

00:54:14.860 --> 00:54:17.000
want to pause for a minute in between each time.

00:54:17.539 --> 00:54:19.199
Yeah, exactly. You just want to get right back

00:54:19.199 --> 00:54:21.880
into the fight. Exactly. God, I do not remember

00:54:21.880 --> 00:54:24.099
which game that was, but there was a game where

00:54:24.099 --> 00:54:26.019
that happened to me recently and I was just like

00:54:26.019 --> 00:54:29.619
so fucking livid about it. I wish I could remember,

00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:32.460
but it's fine. Yeah, I agree. I think they need

00:54:32.460 --> 00:54:35.599
to make all cutscenes skippable. All cutscenes

00:54:35.599 --> 00:54:37.780
should be skippable, but I think all of them

00:54:37.780 --> 00:54:40.840
need to have like a... Not an easily skippable.

00:54:40.960 --> 00:54:42.820
I don't want to accidentally skip it by just

00:54:42.820 --> 00:54:46.920
pressing A. Usually it's hold. If you want a

00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:48.920
hold down button, this is where you have a hold

00:54:48.920 --> 00:54:50.820
down button. Don't make me hold down to pick

00:54:50.820 --> 00:54:53.039
up ammo. Make me hold down to skip a cutscene,

00:54:53.139 --> 00:54:55.239
but make every cutscene skippable. One of the

00:54:55.239 --> 00:54:57.539
things that you should know, though, with games,

00:54:57.780 --> 00:54:59.860
especially after the Lost in Random research...

00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:03.239
We know that they do things to buffer rendering

00:55:03.239 --> 00:55:05.960
times. I know. And I bet some of the cutscenes

00:55:05.960 --> 00:55:08.019
are for buffering rendering times of a giant

00:55:08.019 --> 00:55:10.760
boss like that. Oh, and I'm sure, and I know

00:55:10.760 --> 00:55:12.659
there's reasons for it, and I'm not downplaying

00:55:12.659 --> 00:55:14.760
them, and I know some of them are super necessary,

00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:17.079
and a lot of them, like every one of them has

00:55:17.079 --> 00:55:18.679
a ton of work going into them. I don't want to

00:55:18.679 --> 00:55:21.480
downplay anyone's love of any cutscenes. For

00:55:21.480 --> 00:55:22.920
sure. There's just times where it really takes

00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:24.619
you out of the game, and other times where I'm

00:55:24.619 --> 00:55:26.559
like, this is the most brilliant, amazing thing

00:55:26.559 --> 00:55:28.659
ever. Yeah, this should definitely be in here

00:55:28.659 --> 00:55:32.960
no matter what. The boss introductions of every

00:55:32.960 --> 00:55:36.800
Shadow of the Colossus creature. I love every

00:55:36.800 --> 00:55:38.940
one of those. Those need to be in there. Those

00:55:38.940 --> 00:55:41.139
are amazing. They're epic. They show the scale

00:55:41.139 --> 00:55:44.559
like no other. It's incredible. But some of these

00:55:44.559 --> 00:55:46.139
other ones, like we were saying in boss fights,

00:55:46.199 --> 00:55:48.559
like in Dark Souls where I'm like, I don't want

00:55:48.559 --> 00:55:52.719
to watch. I was playing Sun Wukong, Black Myth

00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:56.190
Wukong, the new Sun Wukong game. There's a boss

00:55:56.190 --> 00:55:58.070
fight that's a mandatory boss fight to progress.

00:55:58.349 --> 00:56:01.369
And I'm stuck at that right now. And it's got

00:56:01.369 --> 00:56:04.389
two different animation sequences that you can't

00:56:04.389 --> 00:56:06.690
skip. You can skip other parts of the cut scene,

00:56:06.849 --> 00:56:08.789
but it's got like three things or two things

00:56:08.789 --> 00:56:12.170
you can skip and two things you can't. And I've

00:56:12.170 --> 00:56:14.769
fought this like 60 times and I'm so tired of

00:56:14.769 --> 00:56:16.309
watching that animation. And I stopped playing

00:56:16.309 --> 00:56:18.880
the game for a while. honestly i'll do that in

00:56:18.880 --> 00:56:21.019
like two months i will absolutely i just need

00:56:21.019 --> 00:56:22.380
to take a break because i'm way too frustrated

00:56:22.380 --> 00:56:24.000
like i can't keep watching this i can't keep

00:56:24.000 --> 00:56:25.760
doing this like sounds like you're about to cry

00:56:25.760 --> 00:56:31.480
all right guys well i believe that's all i have

00:56:31.480 --> 00:56:34.440
on cut scenes yeah that's all me okay that's

00:56:34.440 --> 00:56:36.539

was, but it was something. Oh, yeah. Does do

00:57:05.730 --> 00:57:09.309
Sylveon and Vaporeon suck or are they great?

00:57:09.369 --> 00:57:11.489
