1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
What do you mean you're pissed on your floor?

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,000
I saved that for the patrons.

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,000
What do you mean?

4
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000
I saved it for the patrons.

5
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,000
That's where the good shit comes out.

6
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Anything involved with piss and shit?

7
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000
How have you fucking spilt that on the floor?

8
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Look at that, look at the mess. Look at that.

9
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
It's the first time I picked it up, so it's obviously you.

10
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000
No, it's you, because you're the cunt that put it down.

11
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Look at the mess, no, look at the mess that you've made.

12
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
It's not me, is it?

13
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,000
That's gonna stain.

14
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Oh, fuck off.

15
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000
What it is is coffee.

16
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,000
It's gonna stain.

17
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
You'd be fucked if this was carpet.

18
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Luckily this is tiling.

19
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Give it a rest.

20
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Look, animal.

21
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Piss on the floor and now you're fucking spilling coffee on mine.

22
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
It's mental.

23
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,000
We're here.

24
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Again, for another week.

25
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
You need to liven up.

26
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,000
What are you doing?

27
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Looking at your Tesco socks.

28
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Tesco's value, mate.

29
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Do you like that?

30
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
You know I got the jump of the match.

31
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Of course.

32
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Yeah.

33
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
I had no T-shirts and shorts, otherwise I would have got full gear.

34
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
What can I say?

35
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
It's how it works.

36
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Feel like adding anything today?

37
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
I was waiting for you to do your intro.

38
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
This is it. We're in it. We're in the mix of it.

39
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
The thick of it.

40
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Episode number...

41
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Oh, fuck knows.

42
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
40...

43
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
50...

44
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
50-something.

45
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Okay then.

46
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Before we do that,

47
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000
we have surpassed 5,000 downloads.

48
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
65.

49
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Episode 65.

50
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,000
So we've surpassed 5,000 downloads.

51
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
So thank you.

52
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Do the maths with that, what you will.

53
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,000
What is that?

54
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000
I don't know, it's a lot.

55
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
It's a fair bit.

56
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,000
5,000...

57
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
I don't like the maths.

58
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
50-something.

59
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Fucking small numbers.

60
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
How does that make sense though? Because that's not the average.

61
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
I don't want to talk the numbers.

62
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,000
That's not the average.

63
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
What do you mean?

64
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
That's not our average of listeners.

65
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
We've done a lot better than others.

66
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
This is true.

67
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
So thanks for that.

68
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Anyway,

69
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
you finished Assassin Creed Mirage. Let's go.

70
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
You gave it a...

71
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
I'll let you fucking reveal your score.

72
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Well, Mark's platinumed it.

73
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Last week you said,

74
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
I've only played a couple of hours, it's looking good.

75
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
So let's jump off from that.

76
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Last week I had put two hours into the game.

77
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Was it two hours?

78
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Yeah. Well,

79
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
I've now finished it with 16 hours.

80
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Bang on 16 hours into the game.

81
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
It came out last Thursday.

82
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000
So we're a little over a week.

83
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,000
And Mark

84
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000
platinumed it. He started playing it Friday night.

85
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
And had it platinumed on the Saturday.

86
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Which is quite...

87
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
He platinumed it in 24 hours?

88
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Something like that, yeah.

89
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Or he had it done Sunday.

90
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Either way, he started it on the Friday.

91
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
And it was done before the fucking week

92
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
the next week begun.

93
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
So...

94
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
I thought, right, well...

95
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
I'm not interested in platinum, but I will

96
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
obviously finish it.

97
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
And it's a short campaign.

98
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Alright, Mark.

99
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,000
I'll give you the overall score first, and then

100
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000
I'll explain why I've given it the overall score.

101
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
This review will be spoiler free, by the way, I'm guessing.

102
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
There's not much to spoil?

103
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Well, let's not, because

104
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
I see that Sam said he was going to play it soon.

105
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Okay, alright, it will be spoiler free.

106
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
It will be spoiler free.

107
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
I give it a

108
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,000
5.5 out of 10.

109
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Oh, you gave it a 6?

110
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Yeah, it's gone down. It's quite possibly

111
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
one of the worst Assassin's Creed

112
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000
I've ever played.

113
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
That's crazy.

114
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
And I don't think I'd bother buying another one.

115
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
No, that's your favourite franchise, isn't it?

116
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,000
It's awful. I hate saying it.

117
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,000
I feel sorry for you. You'd be laughing at me

118
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000
if this was the other way around.

119
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000
But we've grown up. We've grown up

120
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000
in our time together.

121
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
I think

122
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Ubisoft need to leave

123
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Assassin's Creed, if I'm honest.

124
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
I think it's done.

125
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,000
It's run its course.

126
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,000
So the game

127
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
itself, it's not a bad game.

128
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000
It's so difficult

129
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
to relay

130
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000
properly, but

131
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
there's three aspects in the game that

132
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
are incredible, like the best

133
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
I've ever experienced. Number one is the assassinations.

134
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,000
For some reason,

135
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
they just feel

136
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
so incredibly

137
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000
good, and they're gory,

138
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000
and they're just fun to do. You spend

139
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
probably 95%

140
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
of your combat is stealth

141
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,000
and assassinations. That is the most

142
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,000
of it.

143
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Admittedly, there's no

144
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
twin

145
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
hidden blades.

146
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000
You only got the one, which is

147
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,000
old school. That's where it used to be.

148
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000
That is canon.

149
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
But

150
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,000
your assassinations,

151
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000
albeit slightly limited, are still

152
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000
very fun to do. The tools

153
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
that you get, so throwing knives,

154
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
smoke bombs, the typical

155
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,000
tools that you've always

156
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,000
had throughout pretty much all the games,

157
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,000
very, very, very fun.

158
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000
They feel very

159
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000
responsive. They feel very useful.

160
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000
You know how

161
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000
I genuinely thought that was the What's the Buttons

162
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
hoodie that you was about to throw on that?

163
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000
I appreciate you using your own hoodie.

164
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Oh, it is the What's the Buttons hoodie.

165
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000
It's the fucking

166
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Genesis. It's the old one. You just threw the

167
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,000
OG.

168
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
It's giving me anxiety at being there.

169
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Yeah, well, I suppose if anyone's

170
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
allowed to put What's the Buttons merch on

171
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000
fucking coffee stains, it's us.

172
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000
I guess.

173
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,000
If we're not allowed to. If anyone can ruin

174
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
their own flag, it must be the owners of said flag.

175
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Okay.

176
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000
So you know how in a lot

177
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000
of games, if they give you

178
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
a wheel of tools that you can unlock,

179
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000
nine times out of ten, you don't really

180
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000
utilise them. Correct. I throw you

181
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000
over to Horizon Zero

182
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Dawn. You have a whole fucking load

183
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,000
of different things, different bombs and arrows and

184
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000
shit like that. You normally find

185
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000
your niche and stick with it.

186
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Is usually what happens.

187
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Well,

188
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000
in this game, in Assassin's Creed Mirage,

189
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000
it feels good to

190
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000
use everything.

191
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Absolutely everything. For example,

192
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
smoke bombs.

193
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000
You throw it down and it blows up. A big

194
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000
old red mist comes. And regardless

195
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
of if you're in combat or not in combat,

196
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,000
you can throw this bomb down around

197
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000
a load of people and you can start assassinating

198
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000
them. And it lasts quite a while

199
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,000
and there's all

200
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000
different talents and stuff like that that

201
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
you can pick which enhance

202
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
certain tools like

203
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
your throwing knives and

204
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,000
your abilities and things like that. So

205
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
the assassinations and the tools feel

206
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000
really good, especially the throwing knives.

207
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Throwing knives feel really, really

208
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
fucking responsive, really, really nice

209
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
to use.

210
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,000
Of which myself and Mark,

211
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000
that was our primary source of fucking killing

212
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,000
people was the throwing knives.

213
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,000
The third thing

214
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,000
that I found really, really great

215
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,000
and was

216
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000
one of the things that everyone speculated when

217
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000
it was first announced and when we first saw that

218
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,000
reveal trailer and the game plan and things like that

219
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,000
is it's called Focus. You know that teleportation

220
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000
ability? Yep.

221
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,000
It's called Focus. So fucking

222
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
fun to use. Unbelievably

223
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,000
fun. You can

224
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000
skill it up

225
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,000
so that you can get... I had five

226
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,000
bars of focus. It's basically like

227
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Dead Eye from Red Dead.

228
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,000
You freeze time

229
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000
and then as long as you're within range and you

230
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
can visibly see people, you can tag them.

231
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000
And then yeah, you teleport behind them.

232
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
So you find yourself, like I said, I had

233
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,000
you start with four bits of focus

234
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,000
so you can kill four enemies at once.

235
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,000
And then I had

236
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,000
five. I can't remember if you can go up to six or not.

237
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000
But

238
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,000
you can take out an entire

239
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
room with it and it just

240
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000
makes life so much more

241
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000
fun and the combat

242
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,000
a lot more engaging

243
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,000
and the stealthy side of it.

244
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,000
And I feel like

245
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000
once you delve

246
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000
into the story, because it's revealed

247
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,000
to you very, very early on as to why you

248
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,000
can do this,

249
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,000
it makes perfect sense.

250
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,000
When you sit... When we all saw that teleportation

251
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
first with no

252
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
reason as to why you're able

253
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
to do this, it was very much like, well, what the fuck's this?

254
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Why can we suddenly do that? But that's revealed very

255
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,000
quickly and you understand it.

256
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000
And it's one of those abilities

257
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000
where you use it

258
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,000
consistently all the fucking time.

259
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
And once your focus is done,

260
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,000
you can rebuild it every time you

261
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,000
get an assassination kill, which is

262
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,000
all the fucking time. So

263
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,000
you are using it very

264
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000
consistently. Those free

265
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,000
things were probably the

266
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,000
only good things about this game.

267
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,000
It sounds like

268
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,000
most of the game was good though, with them

269
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000
three things being the best things. No, no,

270
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
no. Keep going. Absolutely

271
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,000
not. The free running is probably

272
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
the worst free running I've ever experienced

273
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000
in any single game in my life.

274
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
It made me want to put the controller

275
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
through the telly and I had Steph

276
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000
play it and she hated it as well.

277
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,000
You said last week the free running felt good.

278
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,000
It did. And then it went to absolute shit.

279
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000
What happened? I've determined that two hours is not

280
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000
enough time to understand

281
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,000
how a game's feeling. It's not enough.

282
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000
The nostalgia was high on then.

283
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000
I've finished it now. I've completed it.

284
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000
The nostalgia is at an all time zero.

285
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000
The free running is

286
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,000
so janky

287
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,000
and you'll experience

288
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,000
it if you ever play it. Your character feels so

289
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
so fucking slow.

290
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000
So slow. What they've done

291
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,000
is they've changed the button layout as well. Where it used

292
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000
to be you hold down X to engage sprint

293
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,000
and that was also your free running

294
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,000
to engage it. They changed

295
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000
it. Now you click in the left stick.

296
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Very fucking annoying.

297
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,000
They've also changed the way you do combat.

298
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,000
So rather than it being the typical like square

299
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
triangles and circles,

300
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,000
no. It's

301
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000
R1 is your main attack

302
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,000
and then your heavy attack is to hold down

303
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,000
R1 and then L1 is your parry.

304
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Right. And then you can dodge with circle.

305
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Obviously if you're on Xbox or whatever is different.

306
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,000
But they

307
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000
that the free running

308
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000
felt stupid.

309
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
It felt dumb. Imagine a set of

310
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,000
stairs with pillars next to it.

311
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,000
And then I don't know a fucking

312
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000
rooftop. If you're

313
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
aiming to climb up those pillars

314
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000
and go to the rooftop.

315
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Your geezer will try and jump up the stairs.

316
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000
You know what I mean? There's so many different

317
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
things where you think why can't you just grab onto that? Why can't

318
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000
you do that? Or because

319
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000
of the running, because you feel so

320
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,000
slow, it completely

321
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,000
ruins the flow of anything.

322
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,000
And it's not like

323
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000
you have to toggle the sprint.

324
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Yeah. And then every time you free run

325
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000
and then you say you climb up a

326
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,000
building and then carry on.

327
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,000
You're no longer sprinting. I've got to toggle sprint

328
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
again. And then I jump off a ledge. I've got

329
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,000
to toggle sprint again. And then when you hang off

330
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000
a ledge and then press circle to go

331
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000
to like progressively go down. Half

332
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,000
the time it doesn't work. Or you just hold down

333
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,000
circle and you drop off a ledge. When you do

334
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,000
any of that, it immediately puts

335
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
you in crouch the minute you touch the ground.

336
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,000
Which means when you then go to sprint, sprint

337
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000
it doesn't take you out of crouch because crouch

338
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,000
you can sprint in crouch but a lot slower than

339
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,000
a normal sprint. So you have to take yourself out of

340
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,000
crouch to then sprint. And then you hit some

341
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,000
free running again and then you're not sprinting again. And then you've got to sprint.

342
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
It's just so... It didn't feel

343
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,000
good at all.

344
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000
It was more annoying than it was.

345
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000
I found myself purposely skipping

346
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
bits of free running. Like running through

347
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,000
running upstairs and

348
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
running in between buildings and

349
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,000
stuff like that on the floor. As opposed

350
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000
to climbing the fucking things. Because it was

351
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,000
just doing my heading with the fucking climbing.

352
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Especially when you find yourself in

353
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000
combat or you're trying to stay hidden.

354
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000
The amount of times you would accidentally go

355
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,000
up a ledge. Or

356
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,000
imagine you have a squared

357
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000
off area with a foot worth of a fucking

358
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
ledge. Your normal mind

359
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000
would think you can either step onto that

360
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,000
ledge and then just simply step off without having to do

361
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,000
anything. The game would know that

362
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000
that's not for fucking free running.

363
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,000
I just want to get over it. But

364
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
you would have to engage a climb

365
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,000
to step up onto the

366
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,000
ledge. And then you can't just walk off the

367
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000
fucking thing. You then got to engage

368
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,000
a disengage off a ledge

369
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000
to get off the fucking thing. Which sounds

370
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,000
doesn't sound that bad. But when you're trying to stay

371
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000
hidden and not get into

372
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,000
combat. It's a fucking nightmare.

373
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000
And I think a lot of people will have the

374
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000
same thoughts and feelings

375
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,000
with that one. Free running just isn't good.

376
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Hand to hand combat shit.

377
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,000
It's the worst hand

378
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000
to hand combat.

379
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,000
The melee is awful.

380
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Absolutely

381
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,000
awful. It is extremely boring.

382
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Every single enemy has the same

383
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
fucking moveset. It's the same patterns.

384
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
It's have an ability

385
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
where they shine red. And that's one you have

386
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,000
to dodge. Otherwise it does a lot of damage.

387
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,000
They have an ability that shines bronze

388
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,000
or orange or something like that. That's

389
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,000
the ability that you can parry. And then

390
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,000
it'll pop up and it'll say that you can kill them. R1

391
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,000
kill them. Rinse and repeat.

392
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000
You got a shitty stamina bar

393
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
that after about three or four hits is depleted.

394
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
So you then got to wait for that to recharge.

395
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000
And it's

396
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,000
just very boring. It's very boring.

397
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,000
You know how

398
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Shadow of War

399
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,000
those types of games where it is very

400
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,000
simple combat but the hordes

401
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,000
of enemies it makes you feel like

402
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,000
everything's linked up. How you can parry one then

403
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,000
boom kill. But it's the same recipe

404
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,000
but it just doesn't feel

405
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,000
anywhere near.

406
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,000
That's good.

407
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000
The animations is the key

408
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000
there isn't it. Every time

409
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,000
you're in the combat and someone tries to hit you from

410
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,000
behind in Batman

411
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,000
or Shadow of War and you

412
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,000
counter it. Your character

413
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,000
will turn and block and frame over your shoulder

414
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,000
and block you'll counter something else

415
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000
and you'll move in another way. That's

416
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
why you might just be pressing the same

417
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,000
two buttons. But you're doing

418
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000
those different things. Yeah the animations are different.

419
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Assassin's Creed you haven't got that. There's an ability

420
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000
right at the end of one of the talent trees

421
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,000
that you can get where basically that red

422
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000
attack that comes up that you need to dodge

423
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,000
you can forward roll into it

424
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,000
and then you'll roll over their back and then you're

425
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000
behind them and you can start attacking.

426
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Again

427
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,000
you're putting that right at the end of a fucking skill tree

428
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,000
that's the final product of one

429
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,000
of those skill trees. So

430
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,000
by the time you've reached the end of that

431
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,000
unless you've piled all of your skills into that

432
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,000
specific tree of which

433
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000
there's only three and there's only about nine

434
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,000
fucking things in each tree. So it's

435
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,000
not massive. But by the time

436
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,000
you've got there you're at the end of the game

437
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000
anyway. Unless you've done

438
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000
all of the side stuff and none of the main story.

439
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,000
So

440
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
it just from a

441
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000
combat point of view they also

442
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,000
the armour and the

443
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,000
weapons are useless.

444
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000
There is absolutely no rhyme

445
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
or reason to them whatsoever.

446
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000
So you don't

447
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
you know how in

448
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,000
old Assassin's Creed you kill someone they drop their

449
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,000
weapon you used to be able to pick up their weapon for a little bit.

450
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Stuff like that. You can't do

451
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,000
any of that shit. Alright.

452
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,000
So let me explain. You have a sword and you have a dagger.

453
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Those are your

454
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,000
two weapons and they're your only weapons. There's no

455
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000
maces, there's no axes, there's no spears

456
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,000
there's no long swords. There's nothing like that.

457
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,000
You have this scimitar

458
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,000
or skimitar. Is it how you say it?

459
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Scimitar?

460
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,000
We'll go

461
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,000
skimitar.

462
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,000
And a

463
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,000
dagger

464
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,000
of which I got a

465
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,000
a cool sword and

466
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,000
a cool dagger for having the collector's edition

467
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000
and every weapon

468
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,000
and every bit of armour

469
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,000
has a unique like ability.

470
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
So for example

471
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,000
my final armour

472
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,000
it had 5%

473
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,000
increase like focus regain

474
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,000
on assassination kills.

475
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,000
And every single bit of armour and every single gear

476
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,000
you can level up three times.

477
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000
So the armour is actually an outfit so it's not like

478
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,000
you got your helmet, your shoulders,

479
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,000
your chest. It's all just one

480
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,000
piece of gear. They're all fucking

481
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000
useless. Right?

482
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000
None of them make any sort of difference.

483
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000
You know how cyberpunk was with all of their armour

484
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000
at the beginning?

485
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,000
It's basically like that. They've got

486
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,000
little tiny little bits that make

487
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,000
no fucking... 0.1

488
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,000
health regeneration. Literally. Yeah. You're talking

489
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,000
5% which you can upgrade

490
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,000
so it goes up in like 5%

491
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,000
this focus one for example.

492
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,000
But again, it's not

493
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
a necessity. One that I was using for most

494
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,000
of the game just makes you quieter

495
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,000
while you're sneaking around. And I

496
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,000
upgraded it to max

497
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,000
almost instantly.

498
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Basically from what I gathered

499
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000
in my playthrough is

500
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,000
you can't

501
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,000
go and buy gear

502
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,000
and weapons off of

503
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000
vendors or anything. You can

504
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,000
only really upgrade them.

505
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,000
The gear itself you find

506
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000
randomly in chests

507
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,000
which is quite rare.

508
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Instead you find schematics

509
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
which allows you to upgrade

510
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,000
those bits of gear and those weapons.

511
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000
But like I say, they don't actually

512
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,000
make any form of difference

513
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,000
whatsoever. Especially with the weapons.

514
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,000
They've got a damage level and a parry level.

515
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,000
There's very very little differentiation

516
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,000
between any of the weapons.

517
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Which means they're redundant.

518
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,000
You can very very

519
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
comfortably have the exact same

520
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000
gear and the exact same weapons that you start the

521
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000
game with. Don't upgrade them and you'll be absolutely

522
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,000
fine. Which to me

523
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
means it's a pointless system. If I can

524
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000
use the default and not have to do

525
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,000
anything with it, it's pointless.

526
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,000
What's the

527
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,000
fucking point?

528
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000
It makes the combat even more boring

529
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,000
because there's nothing new

530
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000
for you to try out with it.

531
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
There's some weapons

532
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,000
on there that you can buy from the Ubisoft store

533
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,000
that will

534
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,000
set enemies on fire

535
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
or poison them. Which I'm sure you can

536
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,000
find things like that in game. I didn't actually

537
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,000
find any because I

538
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,000
just didn't come across any. There's like loot

539
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,000
chests knocking around where sometimes

540
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,000
you have to solve a little puzzle or you have to try and break down

541
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,000
a door and stuff like that. After doing about 10

542
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
of them they become so fucking tedious

543
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,000
that you just can't be bothered. Especially when

544
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000
the current shit that you're using is

545
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,000
doing its job as it is. There's no

546
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,000
necessity to

547
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
do anything. Like how when you

548
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,000
play Elden Ring for the first time you're getting

549
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000
fucking slaughtered to the point where it's like

550
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000
I invest time in getting better gear

551
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
and leveling up. Get good. Yeah.

552
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
I either get good or

553
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000
put my fist through the wall. I have

554
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000
raw. So it forces

555
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,000
you to go out, explore the world,

556
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,000
get better gear, level yourself up,

557
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
hone your skills and then come back and

558
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,000
try again. Assassin's Creed Mirrors

559
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000
is by no way anything

560
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
fucking Soulsborne. I'm not liking

561
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,000
in the two. But

562
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,000
just having something

563
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,000
to make it

564
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,000
worth my time doing

565
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,000
anything with my gear and

566
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,000
my fucking weapons of which it didn't.

567
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000
It just didn't fucking do anything.

568
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Another thing

569
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
that I didn't like, the story was shit

570
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000
until the very end, which I find

571
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000
that annoying. It was very

572
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
I wasn't attached to anything

573
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,000
at all. The voice acting was shit.

574
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000
The face animations were shit. The

575
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,000
graphics were shit. It just

576
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,000
didn't feel good. And this is coming from

577
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,000
someone who fucking loves Assassin's Creed. It's

578
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,000
tattooed on my arm. I've got three Assassin's Creed

579
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,000
tattoos. I fucking love the series.

580
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000
No Bassim going on. It's everywhere.

581
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
I like Bassim as a character.

582
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,000
That's the annoying thing. The characters themselves

583
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,000
I like them.

584
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,000
There's a lot of potential there. They're really fucking cool.

585
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,000
However,

586
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,000
the execution of it

587
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,000
it just wasn't

588
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000
it didn't feel good. The voice

589
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,000
acting was good, but it wasn't at the same time

590
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000
because it didn't fit with the characters

591
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000
nor the facial animations

592
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000
which made the voice acting bad.

593
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000
It weren't enjoyable.

594
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000
You found yourself reading

595
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,000
the subtitles quicker

596
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,000
than they're saying them and then skipping through

597
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,000
because it just wasn't engaging

598
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000
whatsoever.

599
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,000
And then you have

600
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,000
things like the quest logs

601
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,000
themselves.

602
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Very plain, boring quests.

603
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Very plain and boring.

604
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,000
Again, there's nothing

605
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,000
that's keeping you. Basically

606
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,000
you end up with this

607
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,000
map with your main

608
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,000
target is in the middle and it's

609
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,000
surrounded by other targets

610
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,000
and each target is obviously the people

611
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,000
that you kill in every Assassin's

612
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Creed game.

613
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,000
You have to find clues in order to

614
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,000
find out where these people are.

615
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,000
They're all

616
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,000
just the same shit.

617
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,000
It's the same shit over and over again

618
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,000
and the bosses

619
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
within those levels

620
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,000
we call them don't feel like

621
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,000
bosses at all. Me and Mark were saying this

622
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,000
morning there was one of the ones

623
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,000
he did. He didn't even realise he killed the boss.

624
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,000
It just popped up

625
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,000
saying on his quest log that he had killed

626
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,000
him. There was another time and

627
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,000
me and him both had the same thing. You can hire

628
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,000
rebels to help you attack

629
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000
mercenaries and shit like that.

630
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,000
They're fucking killing the boss.

631
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Well that's not normal.

632
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,000
That's not fun. And you can also

633
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000
I know it's Assassin's Creed

634
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
but you can also assassinate the bosses

635
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,000
with no prior requirements

636
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,000
whatsoever. So all of them

637
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,000
as long as you're in the right position you can

638
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,000
get on a ledge, you can get in a bush whatever and you can

639
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000
just kill them one hit. That's a boss.

640
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,000
That's the main boss. But if you do end up in

641
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,000
combat with them they're no

642
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,000
different to a normal enemy whatsoever.

643
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,000
They're no different. There's no challenge

644
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000
there which

645
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,000
I think in a lot of cases is okay

646
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,000
as long as the story is good.

647
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,000
But when the story's not fucking holding you

648
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,000
and the boss is in that story of shit

649
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000
it makes it even worse.

650
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
So I feel like for me

651
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,000
when you said last week it was originally

652
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,000
meant to be a DLC which was then

653
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000
turned into a game it should have been made a DLC.

654
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,000
It should have stayed as a DLC because

655
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,000
I wouldn't put it

656
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,000
I was saying it's

657
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,000
okay it's so short because it's only a 45

658
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000
quid game. I wouldn't have been happy paying

659
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,000
45 quid for that. I would

660
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,000
have 25, 30 quid.

661
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,000
If the people

662
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,000
listening, if you're wanting to get

663
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Assassin's Creed Mirage get it on discount

664
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,000
because it just isn't worth it. It's not

665
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,000
worth it. And if you haven't played Valhalla

666
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,000
either the ending of

667
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Mirage makes no sense

668
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000
whatsoever.

669
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Makes none. Because you

670
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,000
don't know the lore. You don't know the

671
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,000
lore of Basim. Because obviously

672
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Basim's introduced in Valhalla.

673
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,000
Of which

674
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,000
I had to, the ending's very good

675
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,000
but I had to Google what it

676
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,000
meant because it does not make any sense.

677
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Because you haven't finished Valhalla either. No and I'm not

678
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,000
going to because it's too long. I can't bother.

679
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,000
But when you Google it and you

680
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,000
you find out the history

681
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,000
of Basim and someone's explained

682
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,000
it. That's when you go oh shit yeah

683
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,000
that makes sense and you look, you think back to

684
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,000
what you've just seen and you go yeah that makes sense

685
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,000
that makes sense that's cool that's cool.

686
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,000
But unless you do that it's

687
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,000
like well I ain't got a fucking clue what's

688
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,000
going on here.

689
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Okay so I feel like

690
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,000
after all that, Five

691
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,000
and a half's quite generous.

692
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Building blocks wise

693
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000
it's a good game man.

694
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000
When they said they were going back to their roots it definitely

695
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,000
felt like they had gone back to their roots.

696
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,000
It felt a lot more

697
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Assassin's Creed 2, Black Flag

698
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Brotherhood style. It was

699
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,000
it wasn't anything like the last

700
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,000
three. It was a lot

701
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,000
more toned down. Which I

702
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,000
enjoyed. I much preferred

703
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,000
playing Mirage as I did

704
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Valhalla and

705
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Origins. Obviously I skipped Odyssey.

706
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,000
But they

707
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000
just

708
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000
it was just so boring.

709
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,000
It was so boring. There's

710
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,000
no attachment there whatsoever

711
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,000
and the best part about it was just doing

712
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000
assassination kills. But it didn't

713
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,000
matter who you was killing. It was

714
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,000
pointless.

715
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Well it's sitting at a 77

716
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,000
on PS5, 78 on Xbox,

717
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,000
77 on PC on MetaCreek.

718
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,000
It's mediocre. They're a lot more generous

719
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,000
than yourself. It's average.

720
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,000
It's not fantastic.

721
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,000
You know what I mean?

722
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000
It's not

723
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
awful, but in my opinion

724
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,000
out of all the Assassin's Creed games that I have

725
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,000
played,

726
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,000
that's either the worst

727
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000
or Valhalla.

728
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,000
You know what I mean? The last

729
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,000
three Assassin's Creed games that I've played

730
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,000
have been the worst Assassin's Creed

731
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000
games that I have played. And I would probably

732
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,000
say that Mirage is more or less the worst

733
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,000
one because

734
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000
that was supposed to be taking it back to its

735
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,000
roots and giving you that nostalgic how it

736
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000
used to be feel when it just wasn't

737
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,000
it didn't deliver.

738
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,000
This reviewer gave it a 4.

739
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,000
And this is what

740
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:25,000
he said.

741
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Yeah.

742
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Obviously, I'm happy that I got

743
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,000
the collector's edition because I think everything I got

744
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
in that, the steelbook, the statue of Basim,

745
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000
the map of Baghdad, the broach, all of

746
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000
that stuff, the art book. I'm very

747
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,000
happy with that. I don't feel bad

748
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,000
that I bought the game. I don't regret anything

749
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,000
and I'm happy that I've played it and completed it.

750
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,000
But

751
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000
it's just not

752
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,000
it's just not good, man.

753
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000
It's just not a good game.

754
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Simple as, I agree with everything

755
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
that that reviewer just said. It's so

756
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,000
bland, so bland. I

757
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,000
have never

758
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,000
looked through my phone more whilst

759
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,000
playing a game. And this

760
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,000
is a series that I love.

761
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,000
I cherish this. This is my favourite. This is

762
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000
hands down my favourite. Next to the last of us,

763
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,000
this is my

764
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,000
penultimate gaming franchise.

765
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000
And it was just

766
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,000
fucking awful.

767
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Absolutely awful. The only thing that I'm

768
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,000
interested in is that weird remaster

769
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,000
remake thing they're supposedly

770
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,000
doing a black flag. But in terms

771
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,000
of new

772
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,000
iterations of Assassin's

773
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Creed, I don't think I'll bother

774
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,000
if it's going to be anything like that because

775
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,000
it just wasn't

776
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,000
this isn't a small time developer

777
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,000
either. I mean, they know

778
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,000
what they're fucking doing. And it was

779
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000
just waft. It feels very much like

780
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,000
well, you

781
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,000
want us to make a cheap game, you'll

782
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,000
get cheap quality. Simple.

783
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,000
So that, that, it's

784
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,000
yeah, it's a let down.

785
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,000
I'll sympathise with you.

786
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,000
It's just boring, man.

787
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,000
Very boring. Sam,

788
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,000
get it. But you've

789
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,000
been warned, man. Don't expect to have a real

790
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,000
fucking fantastic time.

791
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,000
What I can imagine it's like is, you know, when we

792
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,000
were playing Final Fantasy and we eventually settled on the fact

793
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
that it's shit. And Sam

794
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
and Sam was like, yes, a bit

795
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,000
waft, but I've got that nostalgic

796
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,000
attachment to it. So it's decent for me.

797
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,000
That's how I feel. If I

798
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,000
didn't love Assassin's Creed, I would have been

799
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,000
sitting there going, what the fuck is this? Mark

800
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,000
sold this game and the steelbook. He made

801
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,000
80 quid back.

802
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,000
Sold them for like 40 quid each.

803
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,000
So he's, he's, he's all right.

804
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,000
I won't sell anything because I like

805
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,000
to keep the addition together.

806
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
But yeah, it's just

807
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,000
disappointing to say the least.

808
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Um,

809
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,000
yeah, I'm disappointed for you.

810
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,000
Yeah, the Final Fantasy thing, I think

811
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,000
I don't,

812
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,000
I don't really think it was a bad

813
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,000
game. I think I just put too much in too quick

814
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,000
and it just, it was just a bit

815
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,000
dull after a while. But I do

816
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,000
see why people love it because people do

817
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,000
fucking love that shit.

818
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Um,

819
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,000
you'll be surprised to know

820
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,000
I haven't played Baldur's Gate.

821
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
I'm not surprised whatsoever.

822
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,000
It's not over. I might be at the reason

823
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,000
why. It's not over. It's just

824
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,000
I feel like I needed

825
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000
a break. I'd put like

826
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,000
over 60 hours in probably

827
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,000
65 hours worth of life.

828
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Yep. So, I

829
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,000
just needed a break and I

830
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000
hit a bit of a brick wall where I was

831
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
just banging my head against this geezer or

832
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,000
this boss fight.

833
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,000
This is a couple of levels

834
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,000
higher than me and

835
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,000
in Baldur's Gate a couple of levels higher is dangerous.

836
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,000
So,

837
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,000
I feel like I need to back out of that and

838
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,000
come back to that.

839
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,000
And it was just eating away at me that

840
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Cyberpunk was just sitting there.

841
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,000
So, yeah, I jumped into

842
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Cyberpunk and I've been playing

843
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,000
that all week. Um,

844
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,000
I finally made it

845
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,000
to DLC.

846
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,000
I just bum rushed the story

847
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,000
really. Uh, I was just

848
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,000
skipping dialogue of all sorts.

849
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,000
I don't know, I couldn't,

850
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,000
I didn't know when the DLC was going to

851
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,000
kick in because you have to get to a certain point.

852
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Um, so you have to get to

853
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,000
Pacifica and do a mission there. And then

854
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Mr. Hands bells you up. He's like

855
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,000
what you saying, geez? And I was like what you

856
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,000
saying? And then we said what you saying to each other

857
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000
for 10 minutes. And then

858
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,000
I headed off to Dogtown.

859
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,000
It's fucking very interesting.

860
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,000
I'm enjoying it.

861
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,000
Um, I love it.

862
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000
I think it's great.

863
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,000
It's not Baldur's Gate.

864
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,000
And Baldur, this is what I said

865
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,000
would happen. Fucking shocker.

866
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,000
This is what's happening already.

867
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,000
First game I've played. Since

868
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Baldur's Gate and I'm just seeing that it's not

869
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Baldur's Gate. Oh yeah, they're two completely

870
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,000
different fucking games. I am aware of

871
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,000
this. Massively different. Um,

872
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Baldur's Gate doesn't have Idrisil sitting in

873
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,000
the middle of Dogtown though.

874
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,000
What? Who's got Idrisil

875
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,000
in the middle of Dogtown?

876
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Dogtown? Who's got Idrisil? You don't see the

877
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,000
massive fucking tree that's in the middle of Dogtown?

878
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,000
No, I haven't.

879
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,000
How? Cause I haven't seen it.

880
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000
Have you been in Dogtown? Of course I have.

881
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,000
You would have seen it? I haven't. Definitely have.

882
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000
I haven't seen it. I've seen a big pyramid.

883
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Um. Haven't seen that.

884
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,000
What?

885
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Well exactly. So we're at a crossroads here.

886
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,000
It's impossible not to cause you see it as soon as you come out of the

887
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,000
garbage chute the pyramid's there. And it's impossible to

888
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,000
not see the tree because you literally, one of the first

889
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000
missions you do in Dogtown, is

890
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000
next to the fucking tree. Well how do you know

891
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,000
I've done the missions in Dogtown? Because you

892
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,000
just told me that you've been in Dogtown. I've been in Dogtown.

893
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,000
So you would have seen the tree. Because it's

894
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
in the centre of it. It's literally there. No I haven't seen it.

895
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Nevertheless. No, you're talking shit.

896
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,000
It's not Baldur's Gate. It doesn't

897
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,000
feel like Baldur's Gate and

898
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,000
it's not Baldur's Gate. So that's

899
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,000
the only thing letting it down. Did you see what Sam said

900
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,000
about Baldur's Gate? Yeah I read all that

901
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,000
and I just dismissed it and thought what I'd

902
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,000
tried. Of course you did. I stand with Sam.

903
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,000
I know you would. 100%.

904
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000
You're just a fucking

905
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,000
wimp. But uh.

906
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,000
No it's just.

907
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,000
It's what? It's not everyone's

908
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,000
cup of tea is it? I know it's not everyone's cup of tea.

909
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,000
I don't want it to be. Is it?

910
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000
People like you scum need to stay out.

911
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,000
You only drag it down anyway.

912
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000
I bought it before you did.

913
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,000
Yeah because you had a PC.

914
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,000
Yeah and I played it before you did.

915
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,000
And I've never said a bad thing about it.

916
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000
You just did. I stand with Sam. Yeah let's not

917
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,000
say a bad thing about it. Just shut up.

918
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Even he said he couldn't. It's just not our cup of tea.

919
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Sam doesn't like it. That's fine.

920
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,000
Um. I get his reasons.

921
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,000
I would rather not have a turn based combat

922
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,000
style game. But there we are.

923
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,000
It's still my favourite game of all time. I don't even really like

924
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,000
turn based combat games.

925
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Um. Yeah so the problem

926
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,000
with Phantom Liberty and Slugpoint is it's not

927
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Baldur's Gate and that's the only bad thing I can say

928
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,000
about it. Other than that it's been

929
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,000
pretty good. How far into it are you?

930
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,000
Barely anything. I have

931
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,000
met Idris.

932
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Took him to

933
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,000
the place where he needed to go to see

934
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,000
the person that he needed to see. Okay so you've definitely

935
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000
been near the tree. He took her off

936
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,000
and I left Dogtown and went back to Night City.

937
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,000
I think we're, what and you haven't gone any further

938
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,000
than that. We're at the same point

939
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,000
then because I haven't picked up

940
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Squirrel. It's cool.

941
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000
Because I haven't picked up Phantom

942
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Liberty since then.

943
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Not because I don't want to play it. Just because I've

944
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000
been doing other things.

945
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Yeah he uh, because it says

946
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,000
uh he fucks off and then it says give him

947
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000
two days and then he'll bail you.

948
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,000
Yeah I just skipped those two days.

949
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,000
Yeah I didn't so I just went out.

950
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,000
I like to let things play as if it was actually

951
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,000
real life playing. Yep.

952
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,000
So I went out and uh I done a gig.

953
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,000
I went and saved someone from

954
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,000
some fucking clinic or something.

955
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,000
And then I found

956
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,000
a car. And I

957
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,000
stole that. And then someone said

958
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,000
bring it here. So I drove out

959
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,000
of Dogtown being chased.

960
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,000
Shooting out of the car.

961
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,000
And then I

962
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,000
locked dropped that off. And then I carried on the main

963
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,000
story in Phantom Liberty.

964
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,000
Because, excuse me, they kind of coincide

965
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,000
really well. Where it starts you off

966
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,000
in Dogtown

967
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,000
plays into like the overall

968
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,000
narrative as it's like the whole package

969
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,000
now. Um

970
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,000
it plays into the overall narrative.

971
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,000
So it doesn't feel like JAR and jumping from

972
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,000
Phantom Liberty back to

973
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,000
Night City to go and carry on with the main

974
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,000
missions with like uh Takamura.

975
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,000
If that is his name. I think it is.

976
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Um about to do the mission where

977
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,000
you have to do the big, you know the big parade

978
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,000
in Japantown with the float. Yep.

979
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,000
About to do that. Um

980
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,000
and then obviously you've got

981
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000
matey Bob ringing you up.

982
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,000
It's quite amusing. I was out having dinner with

983
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Takamura. Nice.

984
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,000
It was like a cut scene as

985
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,000
well. And then it just popped up that fucking

986
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Reid was ringing me.

987
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000
And I was like that's weird. And then he answered

988
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,000
and uh Reid just went

989
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000
I'm a bit busy right now.

990
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000
That's cool that the interaction

991
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,000
has played out. Yeah that's a nice little

992
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,000
ringing during a cut scene because they're kind

993
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,000
of still connected. It's cool. Um

994
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,000
so yeah I've had a great time.

995
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,000
I found uh

996
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,000
Terminator Easter egg which was pretty cool.

997
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,000
It was uh, decent. Have you seen

998
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,000
Terminator 2?

999
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000
I think so. I think I have.

1000
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,000
Probably. Yeah Terminator 2

1001
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Easter egg and that was in Night City.

1002
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Um but

1003
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,000
overall yeah it's just more cyberpunk

1004
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,000
at the moment. And I'm all

1005
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,000
for more cyberpunk.

1006
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Uh go and play still feels great.

1007
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,000
The

1008
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,000
I was confused. I

1009
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,000
installed a

1010
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,000
Sand Vest

1011
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,000
Dine or whatever it's called.

1012
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000
Sand Devaston. Yeah that's the one. Slow down

1013
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,000
time. Uh but by

1014
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,000
doing that it takes away your ability to hack people.

1015
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Because it takes up your hacking slot.

1016
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Takes away your cyberware slot.

1017
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,000
So I don't know

1018
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,000
I don't think that was the way it used to be. So that's

1019
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000
an interesting change. So you can't have

1020
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,000
both of them. So I went back to hacking

1021
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,000
because I like hacking people. It's fun.

1022
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Um. See I never hack anyone.

1023
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,000
What? So I probably need to go for that.

1024
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Oh no always. I'm fucking

1025
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,000
guns blazing. I mean

1026
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,000
You can guns blaze and hack

1027
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,000
when you. Yeah I know I know.

1028
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,000
I'd start set one on fire

1029
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,000
and then shoot the other one or reboot his

1030
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,000
optics and he's like I can't fucking see man.

1031
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,000
I know I just don't. I'm just going with the

1032
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
shotguns. Nah yeah. I mean. Blowing eggs off.

1033
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,000
That's fine. Play it how you like.

1034
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,000
It's the beauty of the game. But yeah at the moment

1035
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Sand Devaston though. I think it's uh

1036
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,000
I mean it's fucking really good.

1037
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,000
I like all the changes.

1038
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,000
I like cars. I like guns.

1039
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,000
One thing that's always bothered me

1040
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,000
about cyberpunk and it still bothers me.

1041
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,000
And I can't believe it's not in it.

1042
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Right on earth you can't do wheelies on motorbikes.

1043
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,000
Yeah it's stupid isn't it. It pisses me off

1044
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,000
more than it should.

1045
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,000
I don't know why it annoys me. And I don't understand

1046
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,000
why there isn't a hand brake button.

1047
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,000
There isn't.

1048
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,000
I use it every time. What is it?

1049
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,000
X. No? Yes.

1050
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,000
I promise you.

1051
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,000
I even wheel spin.

1052
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,000
I hold down accelerate.

1053
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000
I hold down X and it goes

1054
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,000
and then I let off X and it goes

1055
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,000
I promise you.

1056
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,000
It doesn't come up on the side of the screen.

1057
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,000
No that's why I won't fucking

1058
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,000
You can press square to beep your horn as well.

1059
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,000
Did you know that? No I knew about square

1060
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,000
But that doesn't come up on the side of the screen.

1061
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,000
No but all the times I pressed X it's never done anything for me.

1062
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,000
I promise you. Hand brake turn. Oh my god.

1063
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,000
I was about to say I was like I thought

1064
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,000
it was one of those where L2 is obviously

1065
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,000
brake and I thought that was the hand brake that they're

1066
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,000
thrown in as well. Like the same button.

1067
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,000
I was like I hate it when people do that.

1068
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,000
Oh shit no wonder the fucking

1069
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,000
I do UIs all the time. I just

1070
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,000
hold press X and then just do a Ui

1071
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000
in the road. Yeah I need

1072
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,000
to fucking. Oh right fair play.

1073
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,000
Fair play. But yeah wheelies on

1074
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,000
bikes man. Don't understand it.

1075
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,000
It pisses me off a lot more than it should. I don't

1076
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,000
know why it annoys me. I like the jumping off the

1077
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,000
bike so. Yeah I didn't get that tree.

1078
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,000
That's fun now.

1079
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,000
I've mainly gone for the swords.

1080
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000
I pretty much maxed that out. Got all the finishers

1081
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,000
and shit. Still

1082
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,000
pretty low level

1083
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,000
in comparison to what I was.

1084
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,000
But yeah I'm having a lot of fun

1085
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,000
with it but I'm still still

1086
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,000
itching and thinking about

1087
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Bouldersgate. It's just

1088
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,000
constantly in my mind and now I'm having

1089
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,000
the same feeling I had when I

1090
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,000
was playing Bouldersgate about Cyberpunk.

1091
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,000
I'm having the same feeling about Bouldersgate while

1092
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
I'm playing Cyberpunk. I want to go

1093
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,000
and play Bouldersgate now. I feel like I'm missing out.

1094
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,000
So yeah.

1095
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,000
How near are you to the end?

1096
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Of Bouldersgate?

1097
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,000
Well I'm in the final act.

1098
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,000
I'm in act 3.

1099
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,000
And I think

1100
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,000
the level cap is level 12

1101
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,000
and I'm like 9 or 10. So you're near there?

1102
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,000
I'm 9, I'm level 10. So yeah I'm near.

1103
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,000
But this act 3

1104
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,000
is huge. Like the amount of

1105
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,000
stuff you can do in act 3 and

1106
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,000
the places and it's mad.

1107
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,000
So yeah

1108
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,000
I'm having a great time

1109
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,000
but I will get

1110
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,000
back to Bouldersgate 3.

1111
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Excuse me I'm tired

1112
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,000
of today very soon

1113
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,000
and I'm looking forward to it.

1114
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Don't be telling me how long is act 3

1115
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000
if that's what you're fucking Googling.

1116
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,000
I wasn't going to. I wasn't going to.

1117
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,000
I was going to simply say I was going to talk about the beef.

1118
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,000
Talk about the beef then.

1119
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,000
The beef. Um

1120
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,000
Sorry.

1121
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
So I put a comment

1122
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000
on TikTok.

1123
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,000
No that beef.

1124
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,000
I put a comment on TikTok and it got

1125
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,000
small fry, a little 423

1126
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,000
likes now.

1127
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,000
Rather quickly.

1128
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
And 73 comments

1129
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,000
underneath it of people

1130
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,000
having a full blown argument

1131
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
kicking off in the

1132
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
comment section which I've very much

1133
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,000
enjoyed reading.

1134
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,000
And it's basically I commented on

1135
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,000
the new PS5 slip

1136
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
and I said nobody asked for this

1137
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,000
why do we want a removable

1138
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,000
disk drive? Which I think

1139
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,000
was valid.

1140
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,000
I feel like

1141
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,000
that was a valid statement.

1142
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,000
I felt that was a valid statement

1143
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,000
to make. Of which a lot of people

1144
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,000
agreed with me and a lot of

1145
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,000
people didn't agree with me.

1146
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,000
So I want to talk about the

1147
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,000
PS5 slip please.

1148
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,000
If you'll have me.

1149
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,000
Right.

1150
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,000
Ok.

1151
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Let me block that. Um

1152
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,000
I've got a little article here

1153
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,000
that tells you the differences

1154
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,000
in the PS5 slip

1155
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,000
and the normal

1156
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,000
PS5 slip.

1157
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,000
So

1158
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,000
basically as far as I am

1159
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,000
aware the

1160
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,000
PS5 slip

1161
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,000
the original PS5 has 825

1162
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,000
gigabytes of storage.

1163
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,000
Yeah that's the

1164
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,000
that's the standard edition.

1165
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Right. And then you can

1166
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,000
expand that storage.

1167
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,000
The PS5 slip has

1168
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
1 terabyte

1169
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,000
of storage. So that's 825

1170
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,000
before the system software goes on.

1171
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,000
So I think you're left with like 600

1172
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,000
something. So I'm going to imagine

1173
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,000
1 terabyte is probably

1174
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,000
around 800 odd.

1175
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,000
Maybe. After the system

1176
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,000
takes a fucking portion of it.

1177
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Alright. And it says

1178
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,000
just like at the PS5's launch in

1179
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,000
late 2020 there are two PS5

1180
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,000
slim models. One of them has a built in

1181
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,000
disk drive and the other one is digital

1182
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,000
only.

1183
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Those are the only

1184
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,000
differences and obviously the size.

1185
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,000
The price itself

1186
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,000
the slim with a disk drive is

1187
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,000
$500 and the slim

1188
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000
without a disk drive is $450.

1189
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,000
And then you can buy

1190
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,000
the disk drive

1191
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,000
for $80.

1192
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000
So translate into pounds however

1193
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000
you will.

1194
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,000
I don't understand it.

1195
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,000
I don't get it.

1196
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,000
So it's a PlayStation 5

1197
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,000
that's digital but you can pop on

1198
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,000
a disk drive if

1199
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,000
you want to and you can take it

1200
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,000
off at the same time.

1201
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,000
For

1202
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,000
for what?

1203
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,000
Is it better?

1204
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,000
Is it a PS4 Pro?

1205
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,000
No, no, no. It's not a hardware change.

1206
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,000
Literally storage. Storage, size.

1207
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,000
It's got 4 panels now as opposed to

1208
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,000
2 which is supposed to help with cooling

1209
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,000
a bit better.

1210
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,000
And the price.

1211
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,000
That's all that's different.

1212
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,000
I think it looks way uglier than

1213
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,000
the PS5. The PS5 is not a very

1214
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,000
pretty looking machine as it is.

1215
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,000
But I think the slim does

1216
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,000
look worse. I can't work

1217
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,000
out what this detachable

1218
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,000
disk drive is.

1219
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,000
I don't understand

1220
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,000
how

1221
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,000
or why

1222
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,000
what's the

1223
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,000
I don't get it. I don't

1224
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,000
understand it.

1225
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,000
I mean

1226
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,000
it's a weird one isn't it? If you want

1227
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,000
a digital, get a digital. If you want a disc, get the disc

1228
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,000
version. I don't know why you would want to buy the

1229
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,000
digital one and then buy a disc.

1230
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,000
So I was reading that apparently what it is

1231
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,000
is

1232
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,000
from a manufacturing

1233
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,000
point of view it makes it easier

1234
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,000
to manufacture

1235
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,000
said PlayStation

1236
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,000
because you're not having to do 2 different iterations.

1237
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,000
So whereas now you've got the disc

1238
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,000
version and the digital version

1239
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000
obviously the digital version now you've got

1240
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,000
no way of ever running a disc ever.

1241
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,000
As far as I'm aware the new PS5

1242
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,000
slim, they're both digital

1243
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,000
but one of them you can fucking pop on a

1244
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,000
detachable disk drive if you want to and the other one

1245
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,000
you can't. That makes it

1246
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,000
a lot more easier to manufacture

1247
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,000
because there's no difference in

1248
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,000
the two or if there is it's very very little.

1249
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,000
I did read

1250
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,000
that what Sony's

1251
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,000
doing is the PS5

1252
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,000
slim is coming

1253
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,000
to America first and then

1254
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,000
to the rest of the world later on

1255
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,000
and they won't

1256
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,000
begin to sell it to

1257
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,000
the rest of the world until the

1258
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,000
current stock of PS5s

1259
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,000
has gone or is near to the end.

1260
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,000
But if there's people waiting, if everyone's waiting for the PS5

1261
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,000
slim because it's a little bit cheaper

1262
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,000
and smaller no one's going to be

1263
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,000
buying the current

1264
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,000
PS5. So that stock's going to take

1265
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,000
fucking forever to go down.

1266
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,000
Surely.

1267
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,000
You see what I mean?

1268
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,000
Well I don't know, there'll be a lot of people

1269
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,000
at Christmas getting it won't there?

1270
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,000
I don't really

1271
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,000
get it to be honest with you. I think

1272
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,000
I just

1273
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,000
don't understand why would you want a

1274
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,000
disk drive just by the normal

1275
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,000
old one? It's not

1276
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,000
it should make more sense to just buy storage

1277
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,000
than a whole new PlayStation.

1278
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,000
Sony officially announced a new PS5 model

1279
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,000
with a detachable disk drive and 1TB

1280
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,000
of internal storage. Often

1281
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,000
referred to as the PS5 Slim. This new

1282
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,000
model is slightly slimmer and shorter than the existing one

1283
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,000
but will crucially replace both the PS5 and

1284
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,000
PS5 Digital Edition. In the US

1285
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,000
the new model will cost $500

1286
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,000
with the drive

1287
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,000
while the PS5 Digital Edition is $450.

1288
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,000
The new PS5 has

1289
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,000
a significant overall reduction in volume

1290
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,000
by more than 30%.

1291
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,000
My PS5 is not loud.

1292
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,000
I've never heard my PlayStation.

1293
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,000
And up to 24%

1294
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,000
reduction in weight.

1295
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,000
Well I'm not carrying the fucking thing around everywhere

1296
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,000
so I've never understood why that's a problem.

1297
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,000
Sony has

1298
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,000
now has a bulge

1299
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,000
at the side of the PS5 for the

1300
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,000
disk drive which can be removed and replaced

1301
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,000
with a side panel thus making it

1302
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,000
fully digital. It looks

1303
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,000
horrible by the way that. Have you

1304
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,000
seen the pictures of it? It doesn't look nice.

1305
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,000
There are

1306
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,000
four separate cover panels with the top

1307
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,000
portion in a glossy look while the bottom

1308
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,000
remains in matte.

1309
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,000
If you purchase the base

1310
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,000
PS5 Digital Edition you can add

1311
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,000
the Blu-ray disk drive at a later

1312
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,000
date as Sony is selling it separately

1313
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,000
for $80.

1314
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,000
Which, selling it separately

1315
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,000
for $80 or 120

1316
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Euros or 100 quid.

1317
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,000
100 quid!

1318
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,000
If you want that. Right?

1319
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,000
That $80

1320
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,000
doesn't make £100.

1321
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,000
$80 is about

1322
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,000
65-70 quid. I know. So how are we getting

1323
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,000
a one-oh out of that? Fuck knows. It's cheaper in America

1324
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,000
than it is everywhere else. It's bollocks.

1325
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,000
There are now two slits on each side

1326
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,000
and dual

1327
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,000
USB-C ports at the front instead

1328
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,000
of the single USB-C and USB-A

1329
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,000
ports that are available on the current

1330
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,000
PS5. Look at this.

1331
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,000
A horizontal stand will be included

1332
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,000
with the PS5 model.

1333
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,000
And a new vertical one that works on all PS5

1334
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,000
models will be sold separately.

1335
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,000
For £25.

1336
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,000
Hahahaha

1337
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,000
Hahahaha

1338
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,000
25 quid. The current

1339
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,000
fucking stand on your PS5

1340
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,000
lets you do both.

1341
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,000
This is mental. So for

1342
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,000
25 quid you can have your fucking

1343
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,000
PlayStation standing

1344
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,000
vertical. So

1345
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,000
so the cheaper

1346
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,000
digital PS5

1347
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,000
slim

1348
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,000
is now almost as

1349
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,000
expensive as the normal PS5 because

1350
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,000
if you want it to stand vertically

1351
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,000
you're going to have to spend an extra 25

1352
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,000
quid in order for that to happen.

1353
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,000
So why

1354
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,000
are we, are they getting rid

1355
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,000
of all the old PS5? Yes it's not, it won't

1356
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,000
be made anymore. So they'll just disappear it?

1357
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,000
Yes, replacing it. So we're going to

1358
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,000
have relics of the past? Yes,

1359
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,000
as far as I'm aware

1360
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,000
the

1361
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,000
new PS5 model will be released in November in the US

1362
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,000
at select retails, blah blah blah.

1363
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,000
It will continue to

1364
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,000
roll out globally in the following months.

1365
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,000
Once inventory of the current PS5 model

1366
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,000
has sold out the new PS5 will

1367
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,000
become the only model available.

1368
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,000
In Europe

1369
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,000
it will be priced at

1370
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,000
here we go

1371
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,000
in the UK it's £480

1372
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,000
with the drive

1373
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,000
or £390

1374
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,000
for the, without the drive.

1375
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,000
It's more expensive than it is now.

1376
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,000
The, I've got

1377
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,000
Well they hiked the prices up didn't they?

1378
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,000
They had a £30

1379
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,000
price increase since we got out.

1380
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,000
£450

1381
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,000
The official announcement of this

1382
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,000
PS5 model comes months after the device

1383
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,000
leaked and after reports

1384
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,000
last year suggested Sony was working on a

1385
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,000
PS5 with a detachable drive. Remember

1386
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,000
ages ago I was talking about it on one

1387
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,000
of our episodes. I said that there was

1388
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,000
rumours of a PlayStation

1389
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,000
having a detachable disc drive.

1390
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,000
You're talking maybe like

1391
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,000
40 something episodes, something around there.

1392
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,000
Sony also

1393
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,000
It's almost like we're a gaming podcast

1394
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,000
that knows what we're on about isn't it?

1395
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,000
Sony also just wrapped up

1396
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,000
its first PS5 sale with steep price drops

1397
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,000
in the UK, Germany, India

1398
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,000
and elsewhere.

1399
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,000
So what I don't know

1400
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,000
is the detachable disc drive

1401
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,000
where it mentions the

1402
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,000
Blu-ray disc drive.

1403
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,000
I don't know if that is

1404
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,000
the same disc drive as

1405
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,000
what you can buy with it or if

1406
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,000
that's another one that enables you to

1407
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,000
play Blu-ray discs.

1408
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,000
Because obviously our PS5s you can't play

1409
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,000
Blu-ray on them.

1410
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,000
I didn't know that. They're not Blu-ray compatible.

1411
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,000
Who watches DVDs now?

1412
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,000
The fuck knows.

1413
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,000
£100

1414
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,000
These aren't the same shape then?

1415
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,000
They're not the same size or nothing are they?

1416
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,000
They are

1417
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,000
The point being that

1418
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,000
they look similar

1419
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,000
They're similar

1420
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,000
shape but slightly different.

1421
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,000
I'd imagine

1422
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,000
they're different dimensions surely.

1423
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,000
Yeah they are.

1424
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,000
All these fucking faceplates

1425
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,000
they've sold for PS5 are just going to be pointless.

1426
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,000
The faceplates that they've got

1427
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,000
for PS5 now won't work because

1428
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,000
the faceplates on the new one are split into four.

1429
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,000
It's pointless then.

1430
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,000
All these people that are fucking

1431
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,000
like they might have loads of them.

1432
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,000
But then when their PS5 dies they can't get a PS5 that fits them.

1433
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,000
So we

1434
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,000
obviously we spoke about it before

1435
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,000
when the other week when I said

1436
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,000
I'd clean my PlayStation.

1437
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,000
One of the main issues with the PS5 is the cooling.

1438
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,000
In terms of not that they're fucking

1439
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,000
overheat all the time but

1440
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,000
the fans

1441
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,000
are on the sides which are covered

1442
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,000
by the faceplates and you'll notice that when

1443
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,000
you buy second hand or third party

1444
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,000
faceplates they

1445
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,000
have holes where the fans are.

1446
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,000
Because someone at some point

1447
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,000
has obviously gone well that's fucking stupid

1448
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,000
we'll just put some holes there to give it some more

1449
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,000
breathing room. So 90%

1450
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,000
of the third party

1451
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,000
faceplates that you can buy on Amazon and shit

1452
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,000
have those cutouts in them.

1453
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,000
Well they've done that

1454
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,000
because it helps with the cooling.

1455
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,000
Rather than just put holes in the cunt

1456
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,000
and say here you go

1457
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,000
it's very

1458
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,000
I think it's a bold one

1459
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,000
to completely discontinue

1460
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,000
the current PS5

1461
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,000
and then have a digital only.

1462
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,000
But again that feeds into what I've been saying

1463
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,000
for such a long time

1464
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,000
gaming wants to go digital.

1465
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,000
It wants to do that.

1466
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,000
So the new PS5 will be digital only

1467
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,000
unless you buy the disc drive

1468
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,000
which you can still detach

1469
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,000
and make it digital only.

1470
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,000
So number one I want to

1471
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,000
know how iffy is that going to be?

1472
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,000
If that breaks that's going

1473
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,000
to be fun. What's the connections like

1474
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,000
on that? How easy is that to replace?

1475
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,000
How easy is it to put on and take off?

1476
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,000
I feel like this is

1477
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,000
a slight look

1478
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,000
into what it will be

1479
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,000
like to just not have

1480
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,000
discs.

1481
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,000
While I was talking to Mark about it

1482
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,000
what scares me the most about it

1483
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,000
is that

1484
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,000
currently if you're

1485
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,000
on PC or

1486
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,000
you're on Xbox and you want

1487
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,000
to buy a game you can load up a nice little

1488
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,000
website called CD Keys

1489
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,000
where you can get stuff considerably cheaper

1490
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,000
most of the time than

1491
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,000
anywhere else and what they do is you buy

1492
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,000
a little game they send you a little code and boom

1493
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,000
you can go in whatever store you want

1494
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,000
and download the game with that

1495
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,000
code. Sony obviously don't allow

1496
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,000
that. If you want to buy a digital game

1497
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,000
you can only do it through the PlayStation

1498
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,000
store which is notorious

1499
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,000
and so notorious to the fact that they're actually

1500
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,000
in the middle of being sued

1501
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,000
over how extortionate their digital prices

1502
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,000
are. To me

1503
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,000
them making their

1504
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,000
next consoles digital

1505
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,000
only is terrifying

1506
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,000
because that puts the entire

1507
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,000
monopoly of whatever they want to

1508
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,000
fucking charge for their digital games

1509
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,000
in their hands and not

1510
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,000
anyone else's.

1511
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,000
So you've got a PlayStation store that can only

1512
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,000
you can only access PlayStation games

1513
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,000
through. You can never

1514
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,000
buy the codes and redeem them through the store

1515
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,000
unless you bought them through say like

1516
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,000
Amazon which is never

1517
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,000
going to be something like CD

1518
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,000
Keys. It's never going to be considerably

1519
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,000
cheaper and

1520
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,000
they're

1521
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,000
at free reign to do

1522
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,000
whatever they want and if

1523
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,000
that's a peek into the future

1524
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,000
and then eventually I reckon you'll end up

1525
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,000
with no disc drive because it's cheaper

1526
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,000
to manufacture games with no fucking

1527
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,000
physical presence.

1528
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,000
You know what I mean? You see what

1529
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,000
I'm saying? Oh yeah. You end up

1530
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,000
with games that are just extortionate and it's like

1531
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,000
I can't do anything about this.

1532
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,000
They've already

1533
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,000
hyped up the fucking price of PlayStation Plus.

1534
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,000
The other day they announced that

1535
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,000
they're bringing out a new streaming

1536
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,000
service for games for their

1537
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,000
mate like their big

1538
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,000
PlayStation Plus

1539
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,000
like the premium one the

1540
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,000
top tier. They announced that there's

1541
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,000
a streaming service coming out for games

1542
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,000
almost like PlayStation Now was.

1543
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,000
So

1544
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,000
they are

1545
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,000
eager to go digital only

1546
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,000
and streaming.

1547
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,000
So I feel like the necessity

1548
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,000
for a disc is slowly being

1549
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,000
filtered out at which point I feel

1550
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,000
you'd have to think are

1551
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,000
you with the right console?

1552
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,000
If that is

1553
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,000
the future.

1554
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,000
I mean Microsoft have got their

1555
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,000
digital only console. Of course they do.

1556
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,000
But Microsoft also allow you

1557
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,000
to buy cheaper games elsewhere and use them.

1558
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,000
Not on Xbox I wouldn't imagine.

1559
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,000
Yeah.

1560
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,000
You can buy, yeah. You can get

1561
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,000
codes for Microsoft Store

1562
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,000
off of that CD case. Yeah, yeah.

1563
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,000
Okay. I didn't know that. Yeah. Right.

1564
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,000
But then like I say this has been on

1565
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,000
the horizon for fucking a millennium.

1566
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,000
People wanting digital only.

1567
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,000
And then, cause originally

1568
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,000
the Xbox, was it

1569
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,000
Xbox? I think it was just Next Gen in general.

1570
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,000
PS5, Xbox.

1571
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,000
Before they came out they got major pushback

1572
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,000
because they come out saying one of them

1573
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,000
if not both of them said that

1574
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,000
you couldn't buy pre-owned games anymore.

1575
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,000
Once you put

1576
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,000
that disc in your console, it was registered

1577
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,000
to that console, you couldn't lend it

1578
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,000
to your power. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah.

1579
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,000
And they got major pushback for that.

1580
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,000
And then they reverted that decision.

1581
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,000
Be that Sony, be that Microsoft. I can't remember.

1582
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,000
And

1583
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,000
you know, there's a lot of people

1584
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,000
my age that

1585
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,000
prefer disc. Now, I

1586
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,000
have transitioned to digital only

1587
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,000
in the last couple of years.

1588
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,000
I have a disc

1589
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,000
PS5, but I think

1590
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,000
I only own like one,

1591
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,000
maximum two PS5 games.

1592
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,000
Everything else is digital. Just for the ease

1593
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,000
of it. Because I don't need

1594
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,000
to go and buy the physical

1595
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,000
copy, I don't need to go out my way.

1596
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,000
I live a fairly busy life nowadays.

1597
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,000
So just to download the game,

1598
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,000
it'll download before it's even release

1599
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,000
date and then I can come home that evening and

1600
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,000
it was ready to go.

1601
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,000
And you haven't got to put the disc in, let it install,

1602
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,000
update, all that bollocks.

1603
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,000
So I have transitioned, but

1604
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,000
there's always a

1605
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,000
part of me that's been

1606
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,000
fearful of the digital age

1607
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,000
completely swallowing

1608
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,000
up physical. Because

1609
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,000
once it's digital only,

1610
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,000
you won't own nothing.

1611
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,000
You've bought the right to play the game.

1612
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,000
But God forbid

1613
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,000
one day Sony just goes, you know what?

1614
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,000
We're going to go and make cars instead.

1615
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,000
Fuck this shit.

1616
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,000
Eventually they'll shut the stores down

1617
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,000
and you won't be able to access anything

1618
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,000
with the thousands of pounds you would have spent

1619
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,000
on games over the years. Gone.

1620
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,000
You can't access them.

1621
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,000
And that's always been my fear with things like Steam and stuff

1622
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,000
like that. You've got a massive catalog

1623
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,000
of games that one day might just cease

1624
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,000
to exist. And

1625
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,000
there's not really a great deal you can do

1626
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,000
about it. I mean, look at the debacle with

1627
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,000
Nintendo shutting down certain

1628
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,000
stores in the past. And people are like,

1629
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,000
but I've bought loads of games.

1630
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,000
And Nintendo are notorious for

1631
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,000
letting you or wanting you to just keep

1632
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,000
buying rehashes of the same

1633
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,000
game over and over again with

1634
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,000
no enhancements. They'll just be, this

1635
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,000
is the port of this game on this

1636
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,000
console because

1637
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,000
Nintendo now

1638
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,000
are the only

1639
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,000
company that won't allow you to play older

1640
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,000
games on your new system. So you can

1641
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,000
play old PS4 games on PS5.

1642
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,000
You can play old Xbox games

1643
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,000
on your Xbox but you can't play old

1644
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,000
Nintendo games on your Switch.

1645
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,000
Unless you've re-bought them.

1646
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,000
So, you know what I mean?

1647
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,000
It's a scary way of doing shit.

1648
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,000
But I do think we're destined for that.

1649
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,000
And I don't think there's any way to avoid it.

1650
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,000
But yeah, you're right. I think once

1651
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,000
let's have it

1652
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,000
right.

1653
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,000
Given the choice,

1654
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,000
two PS5s come out,

1655
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,000
they're new, they're both slim. My PS5

1656
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,000
breaks. There's a digital and there's a physical.

1657
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,000
I'm buying the physical. Now,

1658
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,000
my PS5

1659
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,000
breaks, two PS5s,

1660
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,000
one digital,

1661
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,000
or both digital, one comes with a

1662
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,000
disk drive. I'm going to buy a cheaper one.

1663
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,000
Because I don't want a little poxy disk drive. I want

1664
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,000
it embedded. I want it to just be, do you know

1665
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,000
what I mean?

1666
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,000
I would just naturally transition

1667
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,000
for the price range,

1668
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,000
for the price of it. And because

1669
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,000
it doesn't feel natural to just have a

1670
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,000
disk drive sitting about.

1671
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,000
There has been a little bit of misinformation.

1672
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,000
So I am wrong with the CD keys

1673
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,000
thing. You can use CD keys for

1674
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,000
PlayStation.

1675
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,000
I think

1676
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,000
there was a thing where they were, I think

1677
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,000
I've got it wrong here, where I believe

1678
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,000
they were trying to ban

1679
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:13,000
that from you being able to do

1680
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,000
that. I don't think they actually went through

1681
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,000
and was, I don't think they was allowed to do it.

1682
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,000
But I think that's where I've, where I

1683
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,000
fucked up. I think it was Sony wanted

1684
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,000
to stop things

1685
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,000
like CD keys being able to be used

1686
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,000
on the PlayStation

1687
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,000
platform. Which ironically probably

1688
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,000
made the spotlight turn to them

1689
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,000
and go, well why do you want that to be banned?

1690
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,000
Oh, look at the prices. So if you've

1691
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,000
been listening, if you listen to that and were screaming, going, no

1692
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,000
you're fucking wrong. I apologise. I was wrong.

1693
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,000
I've now rectified it. You can go

1694
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,000
on CD keys to buy stuff. I'm just flicking

1695
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,000
through it now. Admittedly,

1696
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,000
most of the games on here, they don't have

1697
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,000
them in stock. And I'm not

1698
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,000
seeing any like new games

1699
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,000
that are on here. It all seems to be

1700
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,000
old, old stuff like fucking

1701
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,000
Star Wars, Squadrons or Ghost of Tsushima.

1702
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,000
How much are they just for

1703
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,000
I've never even known this was

1704
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,000
a thing. What, CD keys?

1705
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,000
Well you didn't know what CD keys was?

1706
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,000
No, never heard of it. Really? Well I've heard of it

1707
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,000
but I've never done it. But you've never done it? I've never known what it was.

1708
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,000
It's just, it's just that they send you a code

1709
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,000
it's for cheap games. What would you want me to look up?

1710
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,000
Anything. Throw a game. Right,

1711
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,000
okay. So let's go back onto

1712
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,000
page three.

1713
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,000
You know.

1714
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,000
See something. Something

1715
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,000
that resembles any game that we fucking

1716
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,000
played. Horizon Forbidden

1717
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,000
West.

1718
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,000
37 quid.

1719
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,000
Not bad. Assassin's Creed

1720
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,000
Valhalla, Dawn of Ragnarok.

1721
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,000
8 quid.

1722
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,000
Is on here.

1723
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,000
And then they've also got things like

1724
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,000
FIFA points and Fortnite

1725
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,000
shit and

1726
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,000
PlayStation credit

1727
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,000
PlayStation gift

1728
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,000
card. So there's a 20

1729
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,000
pound gift card here for 18 quid.

1730
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,000
I don't really know how that

1731
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,000
works but there you go.

1732
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,000
Spider-Man

1733
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,000
Remastered is

1734
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,000
34 quid on here.

1735
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,000
Yeah, it's just

1736
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,000
the cheap.

1737
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,000
I used to remember how they

1738
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,000
do it but I can't now.

1739
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,000
But yeah, I agree.

1740
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,000
That digital age

1741
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,000
is being frosted upon

1742
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,000
you. Very much so.

1743
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,000
And I can't help but feel that

1744
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,000
the new streaming service that

1745
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,000
they've announced for their games ties in very fucking

1746
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,000
well with the PlayStation portal.

1747
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Very fucking well.

1748
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,000
Because they advertise that it's

1749
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,000
seamless. Like

1750
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,000
60 frames, 4K,

1751
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,000
blah blah blah blah blah. It all fucking

1752
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,000
relies on your internet connection and

1753
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,000
how many people you're utilizing that internet

1754
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,000
at the same time. You can't

1755
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,000
bullshit like that on a streaming service.

1756
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,000
Especially with games when you're fucking

1757
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,000
streaming them because it entirely relies

1758
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,000
on the user.

1759
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,000
Not the company that's allowing

1760
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,000
you to stream. That's another problem

1761
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,000
with digital only is

1762
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,000
whilst

1763
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,000
there's a small market, there will be

1764
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,000
a market of people that don't have internet.

1765
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,000
So they'll buy a game out of the box and they won't

1766
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,000
get no updates. They'll just be like, this is the game

1767
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,000
I've bought and that's that.

1768
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:11,000
Of course they will.

1769
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,000
I don't know.

1770
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,000
It's just an odd one.

1771
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,000
It's really really strange.

1772
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,000
I would love to know exactly how the digital

1773
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,000
shit works.

1774
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,000
I fucking can't understand how you can run

1775
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,000
out of stock of digital games.

1776
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,000
How does that happen?

1777
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,000
How does that happen?

1778
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,000
Just make another fucking code.

1779
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,000
I don't get it. I do not understand

1780
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,000
it. But like you say, you're not buying

1781
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,000
you don't own the game. You're just buying the right

1782
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,000
to fucking use the game.

1783
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,000
And that's it. Which is no

1784
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,000
different to your social media.

1785
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,000
You don't own it.

1786
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,000
You own the pictures that you put on

1787
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,000
it but the platform itself, you don't

1788
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,000
own any of that shit. You've just

1789
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,000
been given permission to

1790
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,000
access it and use it.

1791
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,000
And yeah, I don't want my fucking

1792
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,000
PlayStation to not be mine.

1793
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,000
Plus Sony are greedy

1794
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,000
cunts. They're fucking greedy.

1795
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:05,000
That PlayStation store is grim.

1796
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,000
This is where we are. I need a piss

1797
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:09,000
in a shit. And that

1798
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,000
was the conclusion of this

1799
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,000
episode.

1800
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,000
I hope you got Boggboll in there. I do.

1801
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:27,000
See you later. Uro. Uro.
