1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,960
23rd of February 2024 and on this day at three minutes past three was when I entered the world

2
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:18,480
and then 27 years later this podcast what's that fucking buzzing what is that can you hear that

3
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:27,440
I can can you hear that what is that can they hear it yeah it's gone I fixed it look I think

4
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:33,440

6
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:47,360
I have it's very cool it is very cool it's very cool I used to have one of these years ago that

7
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:54,080
had a little mount doom cradle that you'd pop plop it in and then it would light up that's cool

8
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,400
and I wonder how much that would be fucking worth it's gone now like disappeared into the

9
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,760
nether but that was like fully metal like this this is very impressive I'm happy with it good

10
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:10,320
and it will cherish it I won't wear it because of a fear of hurting it I might need it what you need

20
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:14,400
on the uh 10th I think it is maybe the 10th it's somewhere near whatever that weekend is

21
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,520
uh because I've got to have blood tests and it's like a very awkward time on a Friday

22
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:25,920
and this because I've got to have um I shouldn't really talk about this on on on the pod I'll talk

23
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:31,120
to you after about it but I've got you're just not gonna be here I've got uh I've got a blood test

24
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,120
for satin in particular and I'm not allowed to eat or drink and I've got to go work in the morning

25
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,280
yeah fair enough fucking raucous day fair enough it'll be a step or so there's absolutely fine

26
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:48,240
um big big old week of gaming lots of shit's happened in it lots of lots of fucking shit

27
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:54,080
has happened let's start with and glaze over it very quickly because I'm not massively interested

28
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,520
in it on how god-awful skull and bones looks oh it's got some terrible reviews as well it's got

29
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:06,880
some absolute dog shit reviews oh my god they're fucked up man that's a live service game excuse

30
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:12,960
the pun dead in the water yeah 100 what was that like 10 years of development some shit like that

31
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:18,720
and it doesn't even stand up to black flag it's mental even the facial animations people have

32
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,240
put comparisons to black flame and black flags pissing on it that's insanity awful and and

33
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:32,960
and all that ubisoft is doing is um is advertising skull and bones and like all these achievements

34
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:39,280
and all the team like stand like they're really trying to fucking put a positive spin on it um

35
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,080
and naturally everyone's just saying no this game is this is dog shit this is fucking awful

36
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,880
put next to what was just another another case of triple a games coming out and then being

37
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:56,560
overshadowed by little games like hell divers too completely overshadowed fucking skull and bones

38
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,040
100 people aren't interested in that they're interested in hell divers how does this happen

39
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,280
though how do you spend 10 years on it and it come out like that it's i think it's had some

40
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,600
difficult development time i think it's had a lot of like stops and starts and restarts yeah but

41
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:18,560
fucking hell like surely the the basics of yeah it's it's cool to be a pirate and it's cool to

42
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:25,280
blow up other people's ships but one of the fundamental parts of being a pirate is hand to

43
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:32,240
hand combat and being able to bury your treasure and fucking dig it up and and have have your own

44
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:41,280
like um hideaways and shit like that and you the own you you can only get off of your ship at very

45
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:48,000
specific locations and even then from a pvp basis you can you can't you can see other players i walk

46
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000
around with them you can't do anything with them you can't attack them you can't do anything they're

47
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,920
just hub areas and they yeah just hub areas and on the on the boats themselves you can't even walk

48
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,160
around your own ship for fuck's sake that's shocking that's ridiculous you can customize your own ship

49
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:09,200
but you can't walk around it that's that's just mental yes it's crap it's dead in the water they've

50
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,920
got some serious work to do if they want to they want to bring that back uh is it worth the

51
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:19,520
investment probably not 100 not so yeah they've they've put the shuttles in a foot that's fucking

52
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,080
ubisoft when was this a year ago they come out and people were playing it like some press event and

53
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:29,920
people were you know cold on it then picking up the things that people are picking up now so

54
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:35,600
they had time to you know delay it work on it do whatever it is that the people that were moaning

55
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:41,920
about it wanted um but then at the same point we're just normal people we don't know what goes into

56
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:47,040
it so maybe they had to get it out by x deadline and they couldn't delay it and blah de blah but

57
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:52,640
yeah but fucking hell i know it's crap it looks really shit uh on the opposite end of the spectrum

58
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,360
final fantasy seven uh the second of the trilogy looks really good it's got some really good

59
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:03,120
reviews yep so yeah that looks that looks cool i believe there's a crossover event happening on

60
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:11,440
final fantasy online you mean the best mmo ever made is that what it is something to do with that

61
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:22,880
it's been two weeks it has yeah we've been playing final fantasy online yep um and yes

62
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:29,440
pretty fucking good uh i didn't mean to i can't even remember why i did it i think it was more

63
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:37,920
because it's natively that's the reason incorporated a controller into it already it's on so final

64
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:44,080
fantasy online is an incredible mmo there's a reason why it stands up against something as

65
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:53,280
mammoth as world of warcraft um but it's also a completely different game it's so similar but

66
00:06:53,280 --> 00:07:01,840
so vastly different but it's also cross play with pc and playstation and very very very recently it

67
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:07,840
released on xbox did it yeah that's so so there's been a massive influx of new players to final

68
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:15,040
fantasy because it's just come out on xbox it's the um the whole the whole game isn't fully unlocked

69
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:20,160
on xbox so there is a cap to what they can reach i don't actually know what it is um that novice

70
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,840
group chat that i'm in in final fantasy they're all talking about it um what what do you mean why

71
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:32,000
is that the case that's weird i think maybe test in the waters possibly um i think maybe it's

72
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,560
something like they can get to like level 44 i'll google it later but there there is a cap that they

73
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:42,800
can they can get to um for now and then obviously the full game will be released but that's obviously

74
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:48,480
created massive massive volumes of players coming to final fantasy i'm seeing a lot of sprouts about

75
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:56,000
a lot of sprouts a lot of sprouts acting like i ain't one it's fantastic man it's i don't i don't

76
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:02,960
understand though so i i've got the game and i'm playing it yeah i couldn't find that free trial

77
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:10,400
bollocks yeah so i just thought fuck it i'll sub whatever and i've subbed but then i go on the store

78
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:16,160
and it's like what's the what is it endwalker endwalker is the latest one endwalker yeah 39.99

79
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:22,160
or whatever the fuck it is so do i do do i own final fantasy 7 online final fantasy 14 online

80
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:28,960
yeah or do i have to buy that to have it online or what is i don't understand it's the same shit as

81
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,800
as as wow in it so you play up to you own the base game okay but you don't have the final expansion

82
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,880
so it's probably worth i probably ain't gonna reach endwalker by the time the fucking next one

83
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:44,160
comes out so i might wait until that comes out and then i'll have endwalker i think i've i've got

84
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,840
endwalker because the last time i played final fantasy i must have just got greedy and thought

85
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:53,200
fuck it i want that so i've i've got that and i know that from when i load it up on steam the

86
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,160
loading screen thing is endwalker okay because i asked a load of people and said how do i fucking

87
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:03,520
know because through steam i can buy it but through the mog station thing with your actual account

88
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:09,680
i can't buy it it says i've i have there's no um expansions i can purchase so i asked them and

89
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:13,200
they were like just look at your loading screen which one i don't know what it's like on playstation

90
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:18,240
i don't think it's the same thing because it's not run through a launcher but for me it launches up

91
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:24,160
and it says like if it says endwalker on it that's the fucking one you've got um so yeah it's just

92
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:30,640
that so you have you have the base game and i believe i would imagine it runs very similar

93
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:37,440
to wow where with the latest expansion the previous expansions just come with the base game

94
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,920
yeah yeah they're just incorporated into that now because obviously this whole content it's unfair

95
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:48,400
to make you fucking pay for it um so yeah destiny might should think about one day you know

96
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,400
just saying no maybe destiny should think about doing something like that yeah you still have to

97
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,320
pay for all the fucking previous expansions yes bollocks if you want to get into destiny now

98
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,920
and do everything cost you 300 quid yeah that's why that game is fucking shit

99
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:09,840
but yeah it's um it's just a uh it's weird because the last time i played it i i put in

100
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:16,400
it on steam it said like 50 something hours i've checked so i put in a decent a decent crack and i

101
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:22,160
really really liked it um and it was just wow that pulled me back in but for some reason this time

102
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,640
round i'm seeing it in a different kind of light i don't know whether that's because maybe you're

103
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:36,400
playing it um or if it's just i'm i'm i'm less i've gone from a point where with mmos everything

104
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,400
needs to be done straight away i can't miss out fomo i need to do this i need to do that to the

105
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:46,400
point where it becomes a job whereas very much now i'm much more laid back with it but still

106
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,520
intense with it if that makes sense so i'm not so i'm not constantly searching like what's the

107
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,520
fucking best character all this shit i need to what can i do to get that i'm just taking my time

108
00:10:55,520 --> 00:11:02,480
with it and very much enjoying it i am also taking my time with it and doing that mainly

109
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:08,160
because i have no fucking idea what it is even if i'm told so you know i've probably walked past

110
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:14,240
many things i should be doing uh but i have very little knowledge i've done i think i've done six

111
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:23,680
six dungeons now all with mpc party yeah um and smashed them but obviously i feel like because

112
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:30,640
we're in that 100 xp server because it's like a preferred server whatnot obviously you outlevel

113
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:35,840
in a lot of the stuff then you get the level sync so it sinks you down in your dungeons but obviously

114
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:42,080
if you're higher you still it's still a little bit of a thing but i am the thing i love most about

115
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:49,920
this in comparison to wow so far is the the way it teaches you because very good i am a sick tank

116
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:56,800
right i know i know what how to pull enemies i know when i've got their aggro and when i haven't just

117
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,840
buy a symbol next to their name literally i look across at the enemy boards and it's like

118
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:07,280
depending on what color it is and what shape it is i have their aggro or i don't and if i want their

119
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:12,320
aggro i can either throw a shield at them or i can do an aoe and get all of them on me there's an

120
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,400
ability that just pulls them towards you with aggro that you have on pretty much all the time

121
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:23,680
anyway um i i i know how to tank i'm not high level i'm nearly 50 i'm like 47 or something like

122
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:32,160
that but it's taught me everything i need to do and it kind of spoon feeds you in a slow way but

123
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:37,600
that is how i need to learn because when it's bombarded with menus and text and stuff i can't

124
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:43,920
i can't do it i found it does it if you look through your spell book it's much less intense

125
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:50,080
than in world of warcraft so like me for example i'm playing a um a lancer which will then soon be

126
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:56,000
a dragon and sick yeah they're cool they go up in the air don't they come down yeah i'm enjoying

127
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:03,280
it man and um looking through the flicking through the spell book there's like maybe like six spells

128
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:10,560
in a rotation and that's it and it's the same for like most of the fucking classes which i feel like

129
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,520
just makes it that little bit easier to play don't get me wrong there are some classes where they're

130
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:24,320
meant to be quite tough to master but i just feel like it works it works man especially because

131
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,880
you're you're incorporating console onto that you can't have fucking 20 different abilities to

132
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:33,280
incorporate into console it's not it's not viable you'd be surprised do you know how many abilities

133
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:42,240
i have up have you got a lot 38 all right so well because you've got so many so what i do i've got

134
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,960
i don't know how to because i think you get more spells at 50 as well i think when you hit level

135
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:52,640
50 you unlock like this different subset of fucking whatever's there's shit loads i think that it's

136
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:58,080
i don't think it's obviously in wow you you select a tree right and then you go down and you pick

137
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,880
left right middle whatever you want i don't think it has that i think it's more these are all your

138
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:08,480
skills but use what ones you want right so this is what i still don't really understand and i can't

139
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:16,320
i haven't really found out yet even despite looking so i start off as a gladiator which then

140
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:22,640
goes into paladin which i am now paladin but obviously when you hit paladin level

141
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,760
you unlock other skills and abilities and stuff but some of them are quite similar in terms of

142
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:33,920
like uh i think the gladiator one's called rampart right so it's like a defensive buff for 15 seconds

143
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:39,040
15 seconds whatnot then the paladin will have a different one but it's very similar so and then

144
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,520
i don't know whether i'm supposed to have both of them or if i just swap one out for the other

145
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:48,240
and i can't work it out i've got i've looked at a video of how to level it up the gladiator and

146
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:54,400
paladin and i've got all my defensive abilities which i really like on this because it's in the

147
00:14:54,400 --> 00:15:00,640
shape of say uh a playstation control so i've got triangle circle x square they're in that shape so

148
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:06,800
i just go right for my rotation for my defensive when they're off of cooldown i'll just go triangle

149
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:11,200
one first then i go so i'll just go clockwise round so it's easy for me to remember rather than

150
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:17,760
the boxes that are just next to each other but yeah so i've got i've got uh so how it works is

151
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:23,920
if you want to attack you've got you hold r2 or whatever you bind them to and then you have four

152
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:29,280
abilities in triangle circle square and x um and then you have four abilities when you're holding

153
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:36,320
r2 on up down left right on the d-pad you have exactly the same when you hold l2 right so i

154
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:42,320
hold l2 and i have my defensive on triangle circles x square and whatever else i have on

155
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:48,080
l2 and the d-pad if i want to bring up another one of all them with r2 and l2 and all the

156
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:54,720
different combinations i can hold i hold l2 and then press r2 and it brings up a whole what is

157
00:15:54,720 --> 00:16:02,640
that four eight twelve sixteen more um and then if i want another different one i hold r2 and then

158
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:08,320
press l2 it brings up a whole different taskbar thing again so i've got what is that so that's

159
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:16,640
four eight twelve sixteen sixteen that's sixteen right on one thing yeah sixteen thirty two

160
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:24,240
so yeah no i've got more than that i've got fucking sixty four but i haven't filled them all out

161
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:29,760
yeah i filled out two of them yeah and it's working it's so easy i'm like one it takes a while to be

162
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:35,440
like what's where but now i've got it it's second nature it's just what i just press l2 and r2 and

163
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:41,520
it brings up my mount my teleportation my return skill all them other skills that you don't need

164
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:47,280
all the time but sprint just bang bang done and then all my attacks are just straight away there

165
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:54,880
i've customized all my hud so it's completely uh translucent and then when i hold r2 they all

166
00:16:54,880 --> 00:17:01,840
pop out again so i can see i love the fact that uh when i press r2 not only does it show the

167
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:07,040
symbols clearly it also has the name of the ability so it makes it easy for me to remember

168
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:13,280
what the what what ability it is um i've moved all the hud i've turned mini map off because i just

169
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:18,960
have my map up when i want i just press square and move it about auto run i've turned i've turned so

170
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:24,400
much stuff i've customized the hud how i want it i watched a video just because i wasn't sure what

171
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:30,880
was important to be out i've extracted material from what items i'm i'm just learning at my own

172
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:37,040
pace and fuck me is it good and let me send you which is i've been sitting on this since last night

173
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:44,240
i was really wanting to send it to you but this is this this character sorry listeners this is i

174
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:51,200
might post on the patreon this is my end game this is the geezer i want to be look at that i'm hoping

175
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:59,440
that samurai oh god he's just sick oh yeah that looks fucking cool doesn't it how fucking cool

176
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:05,760
isn't it how fucking sick is that do you know what i mean that is that's the goat yeah they give samurai

177
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:12,880
vibe the the samurai that i've got that i logged into um they just look cool man they just they

178
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:19,840
look like a proper samurai there the the whole vibe around them is is really interesting quick

179
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:25,040
side note i didn't realize that you can fucking breed your your mounts quick side note didn't know

180
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,840
yeah because i've joined the facebook community and yeah someone put a post up saying they got

181
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:35,520
like because it's got different like traits like speed and fucking stamina and like all the standard

182
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:40,480
shit and then a couple of like quirky ones and there was all like five stars and they're like

183
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,880
finally breed it after blah blah blah and it's all like rng base and shit so i'm sure we'll figure

184
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,680
that one out and breed later on we'll find out how many times i've seen that wolf mount knocking

185
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,560
about pissing me off bro every every single person that's got it's got the little sprout next to the

186
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:59,440
name as well i think they got you didn't they're probably gonna get me when i get a fucking mount

187
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:04,480
as well you know you got it so that your chocobo fucking helps you fight yeah yeah just feed them

188
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:09,360
grass yeah got that bro yeah nailed it down yeah because i obviously haven't reached that point

189
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:15,040
here because i've now made like my 10th character um but which you still haven't added me by the way

190
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,600
yeah that's the that's the bit that i feel like we're doing wrong because if it if we aren't doing

191
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,960
it wrong it seems rather stupid that every single time i make a new character or you make a new

192
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,320
character we've got to add each other as a friend again probably not adding accounts or adding

193
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:33,280
characters i must be able to add an account surely surely i can do that um but yeah it's just

194
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:41,440
it's just a fun it's just fun man and i like the art style the graphics are decent i can't wait to

195
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:46,400
progress to another expansion because obviously the graphics will improve there if you look at

196
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:51,600
dragon flight and then the burning crusade and wow they took two completely different fucking

197
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:57,920
games completely different even down to like the mechanics of the game are different the the

198
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:05,360
visuals of it the artwork like it's it's all it's all far more improved in later expansions which

199
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:08,000
is what i've heard is the exact same with final fantasy

200
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,720
and i just want to get out of the base game because a lot of people have said it's very bland

201
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:19,840
very bland fetch this kill that and basically fucking beeline the main story and your

202
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:25,280
class missions until you get out of that and then get into your first expansion which i don't know

203
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,280
how that happens i don't know what i don't know how you know if you're in an expansion or what i

204
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,600
don't i don't get it well i've worked out that i'm definitely not because i went through the quests

205
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:39,120
well i've worked out that i'm definitely not because i went through the quests i went back to

206
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:45,200
i forgot about that actually i went back to my in house yesterday yeah so i went to sleep in the

207
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,840
bed so when i play tonight i'll get even more xp because you get the rest of the bonus oh can you do that

208
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:56,480
yeah and when on your xp bar your bar goes blue showing how much like you'll get extra xp and

209
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,240
yeah wow did that if it goes off the screen then it's just going to keep going and keep going

210
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:06,240
because because i know because you unlocked the ins fairly early didn't you in the main story i

211
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:11,360
haven't actually utilized one yet oh i should do that so yeah i don't know i don't know if it does

212
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:15,360
give you a buff because obviously we're getting 100 well i think if you are ready as well if you

213
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:21,680
join like a guild or whatever they call it on on that you get an xp buff as well so many requests

214
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:27,040
so i just ignored every unless it's a cool name i'm not joining i'm not joining you know philips

215
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:35,920
pirate band piss off it has to be something cool like i don't know vaders 12 or something yeah yeah

216
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:41,600
um yeah so i've rested at the end and i looked there's a thing in the in your little house

217
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:47,760
uh that you can look at like uh i think it's called like a journal or some shit adventure journal

218
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,360
or something you can look at all the cutscenes but at the top it's got a tab and it says like

219
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:55,200
the expansions at the top and when i've gone across they're all empty is that through the

220
00:21:55,200 --> 00:22:01,680
in it's in my house in the inn but you'll you will have the same house and the same adventure log

221
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,280
yeah because i think that adventure log might actually be in your act on your problem thing

222
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,520
anyway like where your hunter log is i don't know if it's called adventure log it's called

223
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:15,440
saying like that be something along those lines um but yeah i'm i'm fairly far in the story i

224
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:20,560
think essentially as far as i can tell i'm just collecting these crystals and and thing but yeah

225
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:26,720
i've i've i've i've slain ifrit so i don't really know what's going on with the fucking well you

226
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,720
know ifrit yeah yeah i don't really know what's going on with the story so far from what i've

227
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:36,080
i've a lot of it because there's no voice acting in the first bit it's it's kind of like there is

228
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:42,000
some little things yeah it's kind of mind numbing so i've just been fucking click through that well

229
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,640
i've been trying my best to read it but unless it's like oh my brother's gone to get some lilies and

230
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:52,560
he has been gone for three days like yeah well what i what i did read was that apparently with

231
00:22:52,560 --> 00:23:00,240
final fantasy it's a lot easier to pick up the story and what you're doing um you don't necessarily

232
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:06,400
have to read everything to kind of understand what's happening um which yeah i'm kind of i'm

233
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:11,600
kind of getting that vibe i don't get me wrong i do try and read most of the dialogue but it's more

234
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:16,560
scanning it yeah i don't want to spend my whole evening fucking reading when i just want to be

235
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:21,920
killing shit and leveling up and and doing bits and bobs i started doing like um carpentry

236
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,240
you see i haven't done any as well and started leveling up some of that where that starts

237
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,760
it's fun man will you go and pick one you know when you can pick a different class when you go

238
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:36,000
on your map and you've got a red quest like a key holder thing just look in your city and it's like

239
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,480
so you want to be a carpenter or something like that and you just go and you start that um

240
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:46,640
um vastly different to how you do it in wow um one of them little geezers a tiny little fella

241
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:51,600
yesterday with a little sprout of his name he's just chopping down trees they call them potatoes

242
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,440
you know that that's their that's their nickname for that race whatever they're called lulu pells

243
00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:00,400
or some shit like that and yeah they apparently in the in the community they call them potatoes

244
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,760
very they walk very strange they're weird and they they're just dwarfs little midgets yeah i

245
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,360
don't know what i am i'm that weird i'm the geezer with the bunny ears whatever they're

246
00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:14,640
fucking called the bunny is one of the bunny years yeah down the bottom yeah can't remember

247
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:20,160
what the fucking what they're gonna be steph was helped me make a character and i switched over to

248
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:25,520
the female version of that bunny and i was like we both agreed i guarantee most of the community

249
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:31,520
is playing that because she was fit as fuck like they they'd made her character model as as as

250
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:37,760
nerdy as they possibly could um we yeah and i was like i guarantee you most people are fucking

251
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,680
playing like that and yeah there's been a lot of people that have come across where they're

252
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:46,560
playing like that i was like fair enough fair play to you i'm just playing a big fucking human

253
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:52,320
geezer although but then like i say you can i know that you can change everything you can change your

254
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,720
race and character and everything so when i get to the point where i look cool and i've got the

255
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:01,600
gear that i want i'll switch to that elf looking thing because that's what i wanted to make but i

256
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,240
couldn't work out how to do it and they look stupid the ones i was seeing and it's weird

257
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,160
because you can't have a beard on everything and i don't know it's a weird one you can't all have

258
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,320
the same beards they've all got different beards styles and shit the geezer that i made for a little

259
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:20,240
bit when i made that marauder fucking shit beard like you can have like basically like the chin

260
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,080
strap and then when it comes to the tash but it doesn't fucking connect and everything i was

261
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:31,680
fucking stupid as well it's so stupid uh so yeah i don't really know i don't know how the loot works

262
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:38,720
um because i don't i kind of don't mind it but i also don't like the fact that when i kill satin

263
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:44,560
the loot just either is picked up or it isn't like there's no like auto loot where i pick something

264
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,640
up off him because there's nothing to pick up it'll just sat in the corner with a lever

265
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:54,640
oh great i don't know what that is for crafting i'm guessing um but yeah when it comes to like

266
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:59,600
dungeons and stuff there's just you kill the mobs and then there might be like a little treasure

267
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:06,320
chest and you'll go over and you'll go oh yeah the you know the warden's trousers i've got oh sweet

268
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,080
but then you go to another chest and it's like you've already got the warden's trousers you

269
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:15,280
didn't get the warden's trousers so i don't know if there's what i imagine it's just a pool of items

270
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:20,480
you can get from each dungeon fuck knows or i genuinely have no idea um but yeah i've got

271
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,720
i've got some fucking cool looking shit but i also don't know what to do with it all i don't know

272
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:29,760
whether i'm supposed to sell it because it's i've sold a lot of the crap but then there's some

273
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:36,240
called like that are like uh unique um and they're like yeah do you want to sell are you sure you

274
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,560
want to sell this i'm like i don't know do i so i haven't because i don't know if you know it's

275
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:46,000
like wow in terms of once i've unlocked the appearance of one item i have no fucking clue

276
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:52,400
well yeah exactly i haven't sold a single thing yet i've got about fucking 10 different lances

277
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:57,840
like weapons that i need to fucking get rid of i like i do really like that it's so easy to flick

278
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:04,240
between between everything i just looked up that account thing and it is the character to character

279
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,400
because the game was built to do everything you want on one character because you can change

280
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:14,160
everything there's not really need for alts unless you're mental when you start three different

281
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,160
characters before you hit level 20 i've seen people where they have one character that's like

282
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:24,320
fully maxed out on every single class and like every subclass and then every like profession

283
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:30,080
and it's like fucking hell like that's mental but at the same time i really like that because

284
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:38,560
yeah it allows you to especially if you're like quite big into role playing it allows you to

285
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,400
stick with one character and build a really decent story which obviously i know you're

286
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:48,800
you're more into something of a role playing-esque type than myself so it's kind of annoying if you

287
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:54,560
put like 100 plus hours into a character and then decide oh actually i don't really not really

288
00:27:54,560 --> 00:28:02,400
enjoy being a samurai anymore i want to go be a a dark mage instead yeah it's nice to be able to go

289
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:07,120
i can go and i can go and do that that's not a problem i just find it very friendly for

290
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:12,800
players like me because i haven't got that time to put in hundreds of hours to i have but not for

291
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:18,640
each fucking character i couldn't you know i might want to be like you say mage but i'm not i me

292
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,880
personally would be like i'm not doing all that shit again i'll just stick with this crappy

293
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,360
character that i've got ninja seems quite cool there's loads bro have you looked up fucking

294
00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:32,960
everything yeah rogue rogues turn into ninjas and i read that rogues basically when you get given

295
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,360
the quest to turn into a ninja it's highly advisable that you do because rogues are basically

296
00:28:37,360 --> 00:28:43,200
useless past like level 30 or some shit like that there's fucking gun breakers there's all

297
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:50,160
sorts of shit man there's there's so much stuff i'm just invested in fully to be a samurai so i'm a

298
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:55,360
couple levels off i hope to hear it when i remember playing samurai they're cool man they're they're

299
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,200
they're very cool it was just when i logged into mine the other day it was just so overwhelming

300
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:04,960
i was like i don't know where i am that i've got like 20 abilities here i don't i don't want this

301
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,880
i don't want to just want to start again i just don't like characters with shields i've just got

302
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,720
no the shield i've got looks sick but i just don't like sword and shield i can't believe i put that

303
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,720
time in the fucking marauder and didn't realize it was a tanking class yeah because i because

304
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:24,320
what made me realize it was when i did a did a try to do a guild lev a lev mate levy mate whatever

305
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:30,320
they're called they're like daily kind of things um and it was making me go into a dungeon and when

306
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:35,040
i queued for it it queued me as a tank i was like no no i don't want to be a tank i'm a dps but it

307
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,160
didn't give you the option to cure as a dps because i'm not i'm a fucking tank i was like

308
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,640
fuck no fucking way i'll text you i was like there's no fucking way that this this is a

309
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,360
fucking tank class i don't i don't want that i don't want to do that um and then yeah i made a

310
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,920
made a lancer which i actually made the first time around i played final fantasy and really

311
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:59,440
fucking liked it and got it to my ninja my samurai sorry was and is a dragon um but it's been so long

312
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:04,160
since i actually played it that is still very refreshing and i can't remember any of it um

313
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:12,080
but it just feels so much so much nicer to play a lot a lot more um my style and i like the

314
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:17,840
teleporting as well oh it's beautiful on it it's very eso my eye beam around that yeah and that

315
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,400
as long as you've unlocked it you can fucking teleport there for a fee and you can you can do

316
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:27,680
it as much as you want there's no call around the town for free yeah yeah and it just makes life so

317
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,400
much easier world of warcraft you haven't got that unless you're a mage who can make fucking portals

318
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:40,320
um you have one half stone and that's on a 30 minute cooldown or 15 minute cooldown and that's

319
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:46,400
that's it you can't there is no other form of fast traveling unless you find a portal

320
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:52,320
which isn't always there right the fact that they could make well on console if they can do that for

321
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:57,920
final fantasy they can make well i think with the with the the add-ons and the controller support

322
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:03,840
and everything and and obviously you were doing it natively 100 they can incorporate that and i

323
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:09,520
wouldn't be surprised now with the microsoft takeover that they there's a potential of them

324
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:16,800
looking into something like that you think where they've put final fantasy on xbox now you can't

325
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:21,120
help but think that if that goes very successful which it is so far that they wouldn't look at

326
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:26,880
something like world of warcraft and go maybe maybe we do an exclusive here where it releases

327
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:33,840
exclusively on xbox for for for a time and so like i i could see i could see that happening

328
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:41,360
happening um and blizzard themselves have got like a brand new team they're they're they've got i mean

329
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,760
they just sacked a load of people but they've they've got a brand new team under their belt so

330
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:52,080
fresh blood new faces see what happens i'd like to see it on console people have been calling for

331
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,880
that for over a decade now so it would be nice to see it i think you're on the cusp of it being

332
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:04,240
there you got eso you got fucking final fantasy you got um i can't fucking name any but there's

333
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:10,000
there's plenty of their mmos styled games that are on console but they just miss out on the

334
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,000
biggest portion of the market i think i think the biggest portion of the market in game in

335
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:20,560
his console because you the casual joe will have a playstation you know that then there's you know

336
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:25,600
a lot of my mates they might play gta might play cod they might do this but they wouldn't they

337
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:30,640
wouldn't have a p they wouldn't buy a pc to play wow no yeah or or final fantasy but if it was out

338
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:36,160
on playstation i'll check this out yeah this free trial yeah and then they might like it and then

339
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:42,320
just play it for fucking years so you miss out on such a huge market i think um but yeah i'm

340
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:47,040
looking forward to unlocking this samurai and then seeing what what sub did you go for because

341
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,480
there's two different brackets in there there's one that lets you have like eight characters and

342
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,920
then there's one that lets you have like an unlimited amount i don't know if there was a

343
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:59,360
difference in price though uh i just think i just went for the normal one i've gone for like the

344
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,440
basic one it was like seven quid or something like that i think yeah even then it's fucking cheaper

345
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,120
per month it's like seven pounds sixty a month something like that i'm happy to pay that i can

346
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:12,880
pay that yeah um i am also paying that and i've already got a month's worth out of it easily and

347
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:19,040
when i hit level 30 it went oh here's 15 more days for you yeah i was like oh thanks pause very

348
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:25,520
quickly i apologize yeah sorry about that we're back ever since we found the pause button and

349
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:30,880
worked out how to use it effectively it's it's i was literally thinking of that when we was walking

350
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:36,000
over here i was like you remember back in the day when one of us would go for a piss and the

351
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,240
other person would just talk absolute bollocks for five minutes trying to fill the void of silence

352
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:46,400
that was fun we could have just paused the pause the fucking thing do you think that we've done

353
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:53,120
more episodes in here now than we did in the other place yeah 100 that's crazy 100 what is this this

354
00:33:53,120 --> 00:34:01,440
is episode 82 that's crazy that's a lot of episodes there is a lot of episodes that is a lot um

355
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,720
can't remember what we were talking about something final fantasy samurai you said did i pick an

356
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:14,080
alternate sub class or something no i know sub yeah no no that's just a subscription yeah samurais

357
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:19,360
come in gonna look cool i want the samurai attire because i don't like the clothes that i get i've

358
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:29,360
had a few cool oh i can feel the warm floor yeah oh um i've had a few few a few cool clothing items

359
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:35,920
but then within minutes something drops that's a lot better and i'm like now i look like a dick

360
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:40,560
again i don't want to look like a dick there's a very cool setting which is probably in wow

361
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:45,920
probably in everything the auto equips you can press it and it if you've got something that's

362
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,520
better it will auto equip it for you and tell you what it is that is auto equipped

363
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:56,000
um so i just click that quite regularly and check that i've got the best gear on um but yeah once i

364
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:01,120
hit 50 then i'm going to slow down because i've been beeline in main quest to get a xp yeah

365
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:07,760
11 000 xp no try 22 000 because i'll have that please thank you i've also done uh

366
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:13,520
uh all the training so there's like a tank training yeah they're cool in there yeah so

367
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:18,720
that's where i learned a lot of my tanking shit but at the end of doing all of them i got a ring

368
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:27,600
gives you 30 xp yeah bonus uh up until level 30 and you can do that it's one of the best rings

369
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:32,000
because you can equip it when you're doing other classes so when you get another class and you

370
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:37,040
have to level that from zero guess what pop the ring back on yep how long does the xp last on

371
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:43,280
this server or is it just infinite i have no idea because my knowledge is so fucking lax with this

372
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:48,400
i really don't know i'm really enjoying it but i don't want it to last forever i i doubt it will

373
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:54,080
last forever but i don't know how long um yeah it will last for i also don't want to waste if

374
00:35:54,080 --> 00:36:00,080
it's like oh yeah you get 20 days of that i need that xp now i can ask on the novice chat yeah do

375
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:07,760
the askings um shall we move on to the next subject i think i know because i know some people will be

376
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:14,480
getting bored of final fantasy especially mark i understand you won't like that um elden ring

377
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:27,920
elden ring two years we waited maidenless maidenless maidenless we've waited two years

378
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:37,360
and finally the dlc has a come out with a trailer and has given us a release date 7.7 million views

379
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:44,560
that trailer's got what's a good trailer i fucking love it it's gonna be incredible do you know our

380
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:52,640
irony of it all i've completed all and ring obviously and it looks like in the and in the way

381
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:59,200
uh previous from software games access their dlc's and expansions you go to a specific place

382
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:04,560
i know the specific place that you go to it looks like morgues fucking yeah that's one of the only

383
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:10,560
bosses i haven't killed have fun i know we went there you came with me i know and you gave up on

384
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:16,320
me and then i went on my own and fucking brutalized him yeah because you can use the shackle can't

385
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:21,760
you i don't know he just kept making me bleed i really can't remember the fucking i need hard

386
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,920
i need to log back into the game because i can't remember fuck all but there's a there's a shackle

387
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,840
that you can get where you know my margot or whatever his fucking name was like one of the

388
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:34,080
first bosses that you can use and it basically changed him to the ground for a couple of seconds

389
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:42,160
you can use it on fucking the blood geezer as well um but yeah he's a tough boss but he's he dies and

390
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:49,120
yeah that the because do you have you seen the sort of like cut scene that happens after you kill him

391
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:55,600
nah so i won't spoil it but i kind of know that that that will be the entrance for the the dlc

392
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:02,960
really intrigued to see how it actually works like i said to you 99 percent of people that played

393
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:08,240
elden ring have now boosted their characters to like max everything mine is i can't remember

394
00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:16,960
the level of it but mine is maxed out on everything um so i don't know how it really works with the

395
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:21,840
dlc because i don't want to have to make a new character and go through the whole game again

396
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,680
because that's not what i want to play it for it will never level gate you you'll be able to do it

397
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:30,880
for every any level character you want i just don't know how that's going to entwine in the

398
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:36,240
yeah but i also don't want to go to that area as a brand new character because it's nigh on impossible

399
00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:41,600
yeah but that's what i'm saying so you if you go there level 999 or whatever you are you i don't

400
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:46,320
know how that's gonna scale up you i don't you don't want to go in there one shot and everything

401
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:52,720
yeah um but you also don't want to go in there as a scrub but i will be doing a new one um i'll be

402
00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:56,400
trying to do an optimal route so i'm probably going to try and get in there for like level

403
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:03,040
i don't know 60 or something but i don't know i don't know yeah because i got eight new weapon

404
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:12,640
classes 10 over 10 weapons yeah but eight eight new um 10 bosses yeah over 10 bosses um eight new

405
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:17,520
eight new like weapon categories and then i can't remember how many new weapons they've they've

406
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:26,320
brought in but a few um and yeah it's oh it's shaping up to be good it's the size of limb grave

407
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:32,160
he said but apparently that's bollocks which is mental because i remember seeing limb grave and

408
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:38,000
thinking like this map's not bad but i thought that was the whole game size i bet that red area

409
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,880
is the last area that's scary it's called a red shit and ponds and yeah i don't want to go there

410
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:49,280
caled yeah that's a scary place uh and then yeah but then like i say the like bloodborne the old

411
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:53,840
hunter's dlc i think that was like 20 quid or whatever it was massive like the dlc's are just

412
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:59,600
huge and they're charging like a lot more for this and from software are the last company i'd expect

413
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:04,000
to money grab i don't think this i think they're gonna be like yeah it might be the side of limb

414
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,480
grave but then you go under and you go above and there's they're gonna be a lot more they don't

415
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:13,280
tell you shit bro of course they don't i like that i think this is gonna be um it's gonna be very

416
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:18,320
very good i a lot of people say i've been too long but this isn't a live service game elder

417
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:25,520
elden ring's not like it's a single player game predominantly um so you can kind of excuse the

418
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:31,120
the the two years it's taken them to make a dlc because you know that they would have made a

419
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:36,880
fantastic dlc no they they're from software have never done a bad dlc and i've had pretty much

420
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:43,360
everyone from all the souls games and i also think this is more like an elden ring 1.5 because

421
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:50,320
i can't think in my head and i've tried of a single player game that's had a collector's

422
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:55,200
edition for an expansion well that well it's funny we talk about that because

423
00:40:55,200 --> 00:41:02,320
because from software has received a check from the pair of us for the lovely sum of

424
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:12,800
460 pounds yes collectively not for each 230 each we both we both bought the collector's edition

425
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:17,200
my first collector's edition for anything is that your first one is that your first one

426
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:21,520
because starfield was gonna be and i backed out oh and you couldn't get fucking

427
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:28,640
in ragnarok could you no uh oh my god yeah i really wanted boulder's gate one and i'm looking

428
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:34,480
at that imagine that your first fucking collector's edition is a dlc but it looks great i mean let's

429
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:39,680
face it it's probably not the best collector's edition that you can buy as your first one

430
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:45,360
purely because you're basically just getting the statue but that's all i'd ever want from

431
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:50,560
collector's editions anyway myself yeah i think it's a very fucking good statue it holds its value

432
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:56,320
we don't give a fuck because we wouldn't be selling them anyway but it's it's um yeah ash bought it

433
00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:02,560
and then um i followed so it took about five minutes of convincing i convinced myself basically

434
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:07,680
i meant to tell you it sold out on bandai namco already it sold out the next morning when i checked

435
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,960
yeah but it said on the i don't think game collection i don't know i haven't checked it

436
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:18,640
again since but on uh yeah bandai namco website it was gonzo's um but yeah it's cool it's melana's

437
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:25,840
brother mesmer is yeah that guy he's got fucking vipers swinging around from him he's got vipers

438
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:33,920
on his crown he's just he's got red hair yeah he looks sick uh funny thing is i've even thought

439
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:41,200
about not not a um opening it at all leaving it in the box and buying the dlc separate and just

440
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,480
keeping the whole thing in the record yeah i know what i'm like the only way i'm gonna see this

441
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:51,520
statue is looking at yours you can stand the fucking box so you you can still get it on the

442
00:42:51,520 --> 00:43:01,120
game collection um i believe that's all of the yeah playstation 5 and um xbox series x still

443
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:07,280
available and pc is still available on there um grab it as far as the collector's edition goes

444
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:14,320
like i say you're in it for the statue that's basically it because all else you get is a art

445
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:23,120
cover book um obviously the digital code for the um the dlc itself and then i think

446
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:32,000
uh very yeah official soundtrack which i was about to say is a bit pointless but we did an entire

447
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:38,880
fucking segment on the patreon yesterday uh last week talking about the importance of music within

448
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:43,280
gaming which i thought was a very good subject to talk about it is because a little side note

449
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:51,040
you don't know yet that in final fantasy uh 14 online every time you get on your chocobo he

450
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:58,800
does this and that was cool man i liked it for the first three times and i turned that off yeah i

451
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:04,080
gotta say you can there's an add-on that you can have which lets you pick whichever music you want

452
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:08,960
throughout the entire game i'm happy for all the music but not not to just have that every

453
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:15,760
because it'd be like in a in a fucking scary you know sanctuary and then you get in chocobo it's

454
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:21,680
like what's going on here turn that off now it's just silly i'll get there eventually when i fucking

455
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:27,360
unlock it but yeah i found out just by playing i didn't look at it but every now and again it

456
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:36,240
just pops up mount speed increase so your mount speed is uh increased by doing x mission in a zone

457
00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:40,800
but it's just the main story i haven't done any of anything else so once you've done a few main

458
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:46,400
story quests or all of them i don't know it'll say north something mount speed increase and then you

459
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:53,600
run like a fucking whip it's mad um but yeah i don't know i don't know does every mount fly i

460
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:59,840
don't know this yet either no no no because i have a snowman and i can't see how that's gonna fly

461
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:07,920
can you well you just guessing or i'm guessing but i'm pretty positive well i know that wolf can

462
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:13,600
fly uh um because he stands on his i could be wrong how have we ended up back on final fantasy

463
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:19,760
it's great uh i need i need to do more mounts i want more mounts i like the chocobo but i'm done

464
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:26,640
with him buy one goro by that wolf yeah no no no i want to earn them i want to go and earn mounts

465
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:35,280
and titles uh yeah fuck that off anyway elden ring uh yeah this statue is sick i want the statue i

466
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:41,360
can't wait for the statue and yeah it's just the 21st of june yeah it feels fitting obviously i've

467
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:46,080
got dragon's dogma next month which i want annoyed that i can't play hell divers because i've just

468
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:51,280
got too much on normally i'm not that guy i'm like i'll buy it and then go i haven't got any time

469
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:55,760
same with fucking spider-man still haven't bought that i've changed i haven't played a lot of hell

470
00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:01,200
divers recently because of final fantasy but yeah hell divers is is good man really fucking good it's

471
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:08,000
so much better when you're playing with people oh for sure i imagine 100 um but yeah very very fun

472
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:12,160
game one that you can just pick up and fucking put down another one like sky's the limit with

473
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:17,440
hell divers though they can go as big as they want i see a lot of the people that i follow for destiny

474
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:21,520
switching held i was going do you know what this has got potential to yeah of course it does the

475
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:26,560
new the new big one um there's a game that's coming out i can't remember what it's called

476
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:33,040
which is terrible but it's basically taking the same mechanic of the as the flight in anthem um and

477
00:46:34,720 --> 00:46:42,640
has incorporated into whatever game they're making like a shooter type looks kind of kind of i think

478
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:47,680
the premise was like you're on this world which has been overtaken by rope like a humanoid robotic

479
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:52,720
force or something and you've got like typical eradicate them and save the world blah blah blah

480
00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:58,640
but yeah the the flying mechanics were were anthem pretty much it's in a different skin which was

481
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,800
very weird because it was the other day that i was told i can't remember who i was talking to

482
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:09,760
and saying how much i loved the flying mechanics in anthem it was my favorite aspect of the entire

483
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:15,200
game and i was so annoyed that no one's picked it up since um because it was just so unique

484
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:20,160
and yeah this this game that i can't remember um seems to be picking up but i was really interested

485
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:25,440
and i started seeing some of the the gum play and i was like yeah no it's not this might not be for

486
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:32,800
me um but good luck whatever game that is good luck that game uh power world is still fantastic

487
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:38,560
and doing numbers um but obviously we've moved on i'll definitely go back to that because that

488
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:45,520
is a sick game diablo 4 isn't doing very well is it not just dead dead dead poor diablo i think

489
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:59,280
they get like it's like 300 streamers now like it's low very low really sadness on to the next um

490
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:05,440
i believe that i want to go home and play file fantasy the games that were announced

491
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:13,280
for the crossover from from the exclusives from microsoft being released on um playstation were

492
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:20,000
as we predicted and as everyone predicted a high-fi rush sea of thieves uh a game that i don't

493
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:25,280
i had no idea what it was and i can't remember the fucking name was it pentium or something

494
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:29,600
something like that some strange game that i yeah and then there was another game which again i

495
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:34,960
can't remember but sea of thieves looks quite cool see if he's a good game i've played it a lot

496
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:40,560
on the xbox that will fucking overshadow skull and bones 100 yes yeah cheers ubisoft will be

497
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:45,600
buzzing with that one thanks very much thank you this is how extra have been yeah that's a cool

498
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:51,200
game that is uh not very solo friendly i found that i like my online games to be solo friendly

499
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:56,640
because i i like to interact with only myself i think it's an interesting time as well um

500
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:04,480
to see because naturally all you all you've had now is everyone's got an xbox now calling out

501
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,520
saying right well we've given you sea of thieves now you give us hell divers too

502
00:49:08,240 --> 00:49:14,800
they're they're desperate for it anything that's online should be well i get i get having single

503
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:20,320
player games you know i can get it i don't like it but i can get it but anything that involves

504
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:27,520
players playing online especially if it's online only i have service yeah hell divers and service

505
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:33,680
why not you are you are you are sewing shut your own pockets but i don't want any more money if i

506
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:39,840
can get it across there because you know how many how many how much more money right i could be

507
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:45,200
wrong here but i'm shooting from the hip all right so you've got sea of thieves say for argument's

508
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:52,160
sake on the xbox so people are i really want to place this thieves so i'm going to go and buy an

509
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:58,960
xbox or you've got people playing sea of thieves on xbox and playstation massively increasing your

510
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:04,640
player pool buying stuff from the item shop now surely the people that are playing sea of thieves

511
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:11,680
on the playstation buying stuff from the item shop equates to more money than the the minority

512
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:17,360
that would go i really want sea of thieves i'm going to buy an x an expensive xbox just for that

513
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:24,640
game surely you get more money from opening it up to the masses if it's a live service game it will

514
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:30,160
have micro transactions that is natural as the way it goes so i feel like they they just shoot

515
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:35,280
themselves in a foot i said before with live service it makes sense with single with single

516
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:40,960
players point you made the last time we spoke about it in that that that competition that market

517
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:47,920
if you release everything to every console you then don't have that that um uh back and forth

518
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:53,520
um contest but with live service yeah i agree i think i think it should just be on fucking every

519
00:50:53,520 --> 00:51:00,560
major platform and cross play and cross play yeah cross play and think the the capability with

520
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:08,800
something like hell divers too if you allowed xbox to have access to the game and you could have like

521
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:13,760
well you're all fighting for one cause but the the people that are playing on xbox are actually part

522
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:17,600
of a different army and they've got they've got different skins and stuff like that and the same

523
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:22,880
with the playstation players and the pc is just fucking mingling in between um and they're

524
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:27,120
station got blue suits yeah man but they can work together and there can be like different

525
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:31,760
achievements for like do a certain amount of fucking missions with with an xbox player and

526
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:38,640
vice versa and there could be like different like minute but different cosmetics that are only like

527
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:43,600
specific to xbox and playstation and stuff like that like you could you could do quite a lot of

528
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:49,600
wholesome stuff um and i feel like with a game like hell divers too people are taking it seriously

529
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:54,080
like they're in the fucking wars in real life with that game if you then start throwing different

530
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:59,920
armies in from different consoles like different regiments within the army looking upon each other

531
00:51:59,920 --> 00:52:04,480
i just feel like that would be really really interesting because the role play within hell

532
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:10,000
divers too at the moment is incredible so if you throw something like that in it would just i i

533
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,560
just think it'd be really cool i see a tiktok yesterday it was like this guy he was like so

534
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:19,280
what bought you to the war boy and he was like i just want to get home to my mama and something

535
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:26,480
fucking just blows his head off he's like no this is great yeah i love it the the the amount of um

536
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:32,560
voice acting that happened the professional voice actors that are birthed from gaming clips is

537
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:39,040
incredible and i love the i love the i think it's such a cool feature is don't get me wrong i haven't

538
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:44,800
played this is just what i've read and seen is the people like sending out sos's so like one of their

539
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:50,960
players goes down or quit so i don't know what the the parameters are for it but you'd be like yeah i

540
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:55,680
can drop in and help them and you drop in in your pod when you come in save the day so yeah geese

541
00:52:55,680 --> 00:53:00,000
are called fucking i read a little reddit post and he told you know them cool reddit posts where they

542
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:05,600
tell stories and fluff it up but yeah he went on for his oh yeah well army was down and this guy

543
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:13,200
went down and we was up against it at a sliver elf then sergeant slaughter came down on his drop pod

544
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:20,160
he was like thank fuck the sergeants arrived instantly dead that's just like the way he the

545
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:25,520
way he read it was fucking hilarious and didn't half make me laugh but then then they're the

546
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:29,840
stories because every game's different because you're building your own narrative within the

547
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:34,400
game if you know i mean yeah it's so beautiful them games i love them i'm desperate to play it

548
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:40,960
