Guess who's back back again Ashley's back tell some men rub my back rub my back

00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:13,480

00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:19,160
from two it was typical in it I'll shout out Connie done a stand-up job well done

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:25,440
fairly enjoyed listening to it in the rain well done well done well done and

5
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:30,720
the Prince is back ready to fucking in part so what an exciting fucking day

6
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:37,000
today is yep of all the days of days of days and I've been watching all sorts of

7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:44,000
tick tocks and before you buys just to gauge some fucking interest on two very

8
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,960
very very specific games very cool so I have two things I can talk about I can

9
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,360
have a talk about dragons dogma so played it for about three hours this

10
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,960
morning yeah well I can talk about something else it's up to you because I've got

11
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:02,720
another thing let's I'll tell you what let's bang it off of dragons dogma 2

12
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:08,000
only because number one the clickbait purposes because that will be the head

13
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,400
of the title and I want people to listen and then number two full-on review

14
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:18,040
played it for hours number two is obviously two weeks ago when I was

15
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,000
talking to you about the pair of these games dragons dogma and rise of the

16
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,560
Ronin you were firm on dragons dogma 2 and I was quite firm on rise of the

17
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,280
Ronin because of dragon dogs was 30 frames per second lock on on PlayStation

18
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:35,720
after watching some stuff on rise of the Ronin I'm a bit fucking torn now

19
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,640
because I'm not as impressed as I thought I would be so it would be good to

20
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:46,360
hear your in-depth free hour review on this game they helped me okay well gone

21
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,040
I sped the process up a bit because I downloaded the character created last

22
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,920
night so I spent about two and a half hours creating my characters so you

23
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,400
create your main character yeah and you create a pawn right like Baldur's Gate

24
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:12,040
almost kind of if you will so my main character is called Solax Astaria and

25
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:17,240
much to your shock I am a mage and I started as a mage where's the name come

26
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:23,120
from was very it's very Magus where's that gonna come from solus so lacks

27
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:29,280
so lacks Astaria Astaria that's such a mage name it's cool say it again so lacks

28
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:35,920
so lacks like Snorlax Astaria so lacks Astaria mm-hmm watch out for so lacks

29
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:42,560
yeah so essentially how that name come about is obviously by the way while I

30
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,520
was in Ireland I read three and a half books which is mental

31
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:52,600
buried in mind they're like 400 pages each yeah and I'm on the sick from final

32
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,000
one of the series I've read so I've come from series well book one took sick

33
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,120
obviously was it one a month it wanted to do yeah you can rest for three months

34
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:07,040
yeah basically yeah and it's all about the drow which are an elven race in

35
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,720
Baldur's Gate which is like the dark skinned elves essentially live underground

36
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:17,320
so with that in mind I wanted to create a mage because one of the main characters

37
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,560
in the book I read a mage called Faerun Misarin and he's fucking just powerful

38
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,640
so I was like fuck it I'm gonna do a wizard or a mage or sorcerer or whatever you

39
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:32,480
want to call it so that was my inspiration and I was gonna do Faerun I

40
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,080
was gonna do the geezer in the book and I was like no no I'm gonna continue the

41
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:40,040
trend of creating my own character taking them through with me so I was

42
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,160
struggling with names I'm not gonna lie because I've got locker and blood on

43
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:50,960
Final Fantasy right rain dolo obviously we will know about him so what I decided

44
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:56,280
to do I was gonna create rain dolo I thought I got better idea than that okay

45
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:03,520
new character and to get the name I googled a drow name generator yeah

46
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,240
clever and I went on it and I randomized it fucking hundreds of times and it

47
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,000
come up with like 30 names each time and I was going through it and so lacks

48
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,480
didn't come up but something similar come up and I don't like that but if I

49
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,280
take a couple of letters out so like sounds good so I went with that and then

50
00:04:18,280 --> 00:04:24,760
for his surname when you create when you create a character you can put a

51
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,920
moniker which is essentially a nickname I don't know what the reason for that is

52
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:35,720
but I think it's just like a so you can't put naughty swear words or I don't

53
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,080
know the reason exactly but as I was going through the monikers Astario was

54
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,680
one of them so I was like fuck it I'll use that and that'll be a surname so

55
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:51,240
that's where so yeah I made so like star up cool mage made him all up my pawn my

56
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:58,360
companion rain dolo the crossover and the reason I don't expect it a reason

57
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,920
I've done that was because two reasons one I thought if I have him as a

58
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,760
companion hmm I'll care about him yeah yeah whereas if I'm just planning my

59
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,760
planning Jimmy and I've got a generic secondary but if his rain I'm like my

60
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,440
boy no no no don't hurt nobody so I created rain dolo he looks fucking sick

61
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,640
the character on that is the best crazy unit it's the best cat's crowd

62
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,840
absolutely crazy the depth in that he's got like he looks he looks pretty much

63
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:28,160
like rain dolo he's got tattoos you can put tattoos wherever you want move them

64
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,240
all around make them big small he's got the scar he's got the bright blue eyes so

65
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,200
yeah I've just in my head is so lacks he's come from the under dark the men's

66
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,880
of Barone he's fucking come up he's met rain at some point during boulder skate

67
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,920
and now they're in this world and they're cat trappings get up so that's

68
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:49,240
how it works I text Connor last night asking if he was getting a game and he

69
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:54,760
said yes so I asked him if he would take rain with him so rain will now go in

70
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,600
Connor's game and journey with Connor huh so this is what the porn system is

71
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:05,800
right so you could you whatever the porn is that you create you can as far as I

72
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:11,100
can remember from the first one but so rain will still accompany me right you

73
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:15,440
still need me but you can hire rain to be one of your pawns to come in your

74
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:22,160
game yeah and whatever journeys you have with rain he'll be doing if you say just

75
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,160
just to keep it simple you find a chest right up on the top of a mountain the

76
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,880
next time I rest all the data that rain has collected whilst being with you

77
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:36,360
quests chests carry over to you download onto my game when I rested in it in so

78
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:42,160
when the next time I go past this place he'll go oh I think there's a chest up

79
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,200
there and then you can press up on a d-pad to like say go and he will lead

80
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,680
you to the chest that he found in your game that is very clever this was very

81
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,000
but it was like that in dragons dogma 1 and no one's replicated since that's why

82
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,080
dragons dogma is such like a cult favorite and just everyone loves it

83
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:03,360
what's the what's the combat feeling like yeah it's amazing it's the dragon

84
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,520
dogma one combat was great but then you got to remember it's like 10 years old

85
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,620
right so it's like it's great but it's still thing dated that the whole reason

86
00:07:11,620 --> 00:07:16,520
dragons dogma was created you go back to the interviews originally was the

87
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,800
creator said I really like Skyrim but what if Skyrim actually had good combat

88
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,360
yeah so he tried to create a lesser scaled Skyrim but with good combat so

89
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:32,360
the whole game was focused on combat this so far it's just sick just everything

90
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:37,760
it's everything I wanted but amped up by like a hundred I don't know I haven't

91
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,720
done very much and I'm staying away from tick-tock and all that cuz I don't want

92
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,680
to see shit I've seen a few things where people have like felled a troll when it's

93
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:51,200
fell across that's not that's not a scripted moment either yeah it's just

94
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:56,040
the thing that can happen but they had like the physics system in it it's very

95
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:01,280
like physics based and earlier on I was running around killing these goblins and

96
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:06,560
a fucking big old harpy Falcon fucking thing come swoop me down took me on was

97
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:12,080
just flying around with me rain shouting for me yeah cuz I read a thing of

98
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,680
someone saying that like a griffin come down and attacked him and then fucked

99
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,400
up like he started battling it and the griffin fled and fucked off but then

100
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:26,360
come down like two hours later into his gameplay exact same health that it had

101
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,360
when it flew off and started attacking him again and he was like that's so

102
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:34,280
crazy for it to I'm gonna buy it it's honestly it's one of them really really

103
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:40,440
immersive games where the game is the gameplay where it's on the fly I need I

104
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:46,040
need I've been excited for this quickly run over it rise of the Ronin just

105
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,800
isn't looking like something that I really wanted it to be it looks like a

106
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,320
much lesser version of ghosts of Tsushima which I'm not particularly

107
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,600
happy about dragons dogma 2 does look good but the that that 30 frames per

108
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:06,800
second is a bit of a bit of a hmm for me however from the stuff that I've seen I

109
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:12,920
think I'm just being snobby with it personally I do I hate 30 frames a

110
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:18,280
second we've touched this feel like feels fine it's listen I don't ever play

111
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,760
any games in 30 frames per second it's horrible I hate it but this isn't locked

112
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:27,960
to 30 frames this goes up yeah it's just but it also does come down someone

113
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:34,280
someone made a good point of it's been optimized to run at what it runs at and

114
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:40,320
this person that was on a reddit thread was basically saying he was like these

115
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,160
people are the developers they're the professionals and now what they're doing

116
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:48,960
you don't basically that but also it looks fucking beautiful like you're

117
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,320
looking up at the mountains and the mist going through it looks like a painting

118
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:57,840
but it's got that it's got that listen this dragons dogma one I never finished

119
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:03,920
it dragons dogma one story was meh don't care the game is the gameplay the game

120
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,000
is the story that gets created be like fucking I was running around and then

121
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,520
this boulder fell on me and a goblin person basically put this way right your

122
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:17,260
pawns have got some weird adaptive AI right so basically I read this thing

123
00:10:17,260 --> 00:10:21,400
yesterday that geese has been playing it for a week or whatever reviewing it and

124
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,040
he said I kept constantly picking up goblins and frying them off cliff

125
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,640
you can pick little you kept picking goblins up and find them off a cliff

126
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,720
then all of a sudden that's all his porn does now the porn is registered that

127
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,960
you're that's what he wants to do that's what he wants to do so every time he

128
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,320
sees a goblin he picks him up runs to the cliff somewhere and frozen it's

129
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:43,440
genius like the system in place for that is insane now is is the deluxe edition

130
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,600
worth it or did you get the normal edition also got a deluxe what do you

131
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,640
get with it you get fucking get some camp supplies you get some start music

132
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:59,280
and sound collection harpy smoke beacons fucking a pendant rift incense gold

133
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:04,920
gal key and makeshift gal key yeah that's yeah I got I got all this stuff I

134
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,920
got it early on right away basically the game starts and you're in it says gal

135
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,280
right but that's jail I learned that from Eldermann jail what's art of metamorphosis

136
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:21,480
change your characters customization or you don't get there normally no like if

137
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,000
you want to change it off my food again if you know I mean completely rebuild

138
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,360
your character oh let's buy that one then should we but yeah I see funny

139
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,880
enough I've seen this game review bomb now so come out really good reviews it's

140
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,760
getting review bomb now because they've introduced rift crystals or sat in

141
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,040
microtransactions essentially but they're just crystals right and the first one

142
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:46,520
had them as well so you can spend these crystals to buy fucking fast travel

143
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:52,880
crystals or hire more powerful pawns from the rift and stuff like this and

144
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,480
people are kicking up a stink and it's just like I get it because people are

145
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,480
like oh you want us to pay to fast travel but it's not the case the whole

146
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,840
game is developed to not be a fast travel game yeah it's supposed to be a

147
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,640
journey when you go out in the dark right on Dragon's Dogma one I haven't

148
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,200
been out in the dark on this one yet it is fucking dangerous and if you die

149
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,640
you're in you're in you're in problems yeah it's got a thing where you lose

150
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,000
your health and stuff until you rest it and in so you're constantly battling

151
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,400
against I was at the same as on like Dark Souls 1 yeah so it's an issue

152
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,720
like going out is where the dangerous monsters are in the night the ghosts and

153
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,080
wraiths it's a proper journey if you want to say you look on the map right

154
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,120
and you want to travel from this castle to this fucking cave or the whole fucking

155
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,720
village or something you look at your route and you go right I'm gonna go

156
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,640
this is how the game is right you're gonna go right I'm gonna go through this

157
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,840
forest we'll cut through down we try and jump over that bit you're planning out

158
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,240
your route and you'd be like right have I got enough have I got enough oil for

159
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,040
my lantern so my lantern goes out and fuck because it's black you're seeing

160
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,920
fuck all have I got enough resupply have I got enough items have I got enough

161
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,740
potions have I got enough apples to eat all these little bits so it's got that

162
00:12:59,740 --> 00:13:04,400
constant hunter and gather you see a bush go pick some apples you see some

163
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,360
potatoes go pick them and you can mix the ingredients you can cook it all up

164
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,280
it's so immersive I saw the cooking animation because it's real cooking

165
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:16,720
isn't it it looks real I don't know if it is yeah they was it stupid yeah they

166
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,400
come out and they because it was obviously quite a talking point and it

167
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:28,680
was for like CGI purposes and stuff like that animate animation purposes it would

168
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:33,040
have cost more money and been more effort to do that than it was to just

169
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:39,640
put in a real footage of of a steak cooking it's cooler yeah yeah I like it

170
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,260
I like it but what do you expect from people that make Monster Hunter oh yeah

171
00:13:43,260 --> 00:13:48,960
it's got that about it so you can climb up the monsters do all that got the the

172
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:54,800
game is also immersive in terms of someone gives you a bit of chat and

173
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,720
tell you don't like just kill them but they're dying and they ain't coming back

174
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,640
what happens is they go to this is what I read before the game come out it'll go

175
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,500
to a morgue and they'll stay in the morgue for a couple of days you can

176
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:09,920
spend something or do something to resurrect them but if you don't do it

177
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,160
within the two days of dead forever and that goes for quest givers that goes for

178
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,960
everybody in the game also monsters can come into towns and attack yeah I've

179
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,800
seen that someone the town was being attacked by a troll for no reason exactly

180
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,880
so that that adds to the dynamic gameplay that is exciting because you'd

181
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,960
be like fucking what the fuck's going on this is supposed to be the safe zone in

182
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:34,520
games right it's not safe no more but with that in mind then it just adds to

183
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,320
the dynamic gameplay the things that you can do the experiences you'll have will

184
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,760
be not necessarily planned by the developers but also put in there to be

185
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,740
like a there's a cooking pot in it and it will come to a boil with all these

186
00:14:45,740 --> 00:14:49,560
different little things that will happen it's if it's anything like the first one

187
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:55,280
which so far it is but looks beautiful then I'm gassed there the cutscenes are

188
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,880
amazing there's actual like dialogue this time up proper there's a decent

189
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,880
story so far I've barely touched surface you start off in the jail you come out

190
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:10,080
the jail and that's very Skyrim yeah it does give off that Skyrim vibe but then

191
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:15,120
the quest also it's not like I haven't gone anywhere apart from the first

192
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,520
little town I'm in right so I've gone out done a couple of little quests but

193
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,520
come straight back there's no quest markers there's quest markers when you

194
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:27,400
get I'll go and deliver this letter and do whatever is you need to do so he's

195
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,840
in this general area but to get that quest there was no quest marker this

196
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,400
kid has got quest just bowling around and they'll either come to you but

197
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,960
excuse me sir could you help me I need this done or you talk to someone and be

198
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,320
like I could have this done but there's no quest mark above their head so also

199
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,120
adds to the I'm gonna go very old and ringy yeah I'm gonna go talk to people

200
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,800
see if they've got anything for me to do but some of the quests I don't know if

201
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,920
it tells you this or not but also time gated so the quick the game carries on

202
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,880
without you so if you this is why it comes up on the game in the help screen

203
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,600
when you first start accepting quests it says be careful accepting too many

204
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,140
quests at one time because the game will carry on without you and if you don't do

205
00:16:07,140 --> 00:16:11,280
it it's not gonna happen I'll go save this from the goblins you didn't do it

206
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,440
the goblins have eaten him that sort of stuff so I just find that sort of

207
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,360
gameplay speaks to me much more and always has because I like immersive

208
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:25,000
games like cyberpunk and stuff like that so so far as I predicted this is

209
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,920
definitely my game of year just yeah it's just I'm not cuz I if it carries on

210
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,320
the way is because of Dragon's Dogma 1 if I hadn't played Dragon's Dogma 1 and I

211
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,760
had no idea what this was I'd have no idea still but it's got that it's got

212
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:42,760
that dark dark like Game of Thrones house of dragons feel it's not like

213
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:49,080
colorful or pretty it's dark and gritty powerful the spells are fucking sick I

214
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:54,440
hit anything with a sword but rain as he looks course fuck I do like that porn

215
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:59,160
system yeah you can have so you can have you can have four pawns or three pawns

216
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:04,240
sorry and obviously yourself you go into the rift and you can these these pawns

217
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,240
will just walk up to you and you can inspect their stats like they're

218
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,440
experiencing different monsters what they know what they don't and you can

219
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,240
hire them the more experienced the more powerful the higher level pawns cost

220
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,800
more riff crystals right you get riff I don't know how you get riff crystals you

221
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,360
can buy them yeah you can obviously just earn them because it's not a game that

222
00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:27,120
is supposed to have my transactions they've put them in who cares people

223
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:31,080
moaning whatever I don't give a fuck I'll never I'll never buy only matters

224
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,160
with this if it I suppose it only matters where if they've put them in and

225
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:41,240
then severely tone down your not your passive gaining of those crystals within

226
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,160
game if it used to be like oh yeah you can get a thousand within the first hour

227
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,560
and then they brought in a microtransaction now it's like you can get

228
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,520
a hundred within the first hour that's when it starts to take the piss it was

229
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:56,000
very true but also I read someone's review yesterday over a hundred hours in

230
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,440
it not once as he said he's ever thought about spending the option wasn't even

231
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,720
there yeah you know who cares basically people just moaning for the sake of

232
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,840
moaning I get it don't want microtransaction especially in single

233
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:13,040
player games but at the same point you can pay to fucking transmogrify or change

234
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,760
your characters customization in MMOs it's an online game granted but it's

235
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,880
still just a game yeah but microtransactions in a single player game

236
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:31,080
are whether they're useful or not they're still a bit of a because normally

237
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,680
it's only ever cosmetic which I can understand but when you when you throw in

238
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,680
things like oh you can fast travel this place where you can do you can start

239
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:43,960
doing actual helpful things within game but you've thrown a monetary price on it

240
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,560
on a single player game that's when it starts to feel a bit iffy you got to ask

241
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,760
the question if you don't need to do it why they've done that yeah but I don't

242
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,640
know the thing is some people will want to fast travel everywhere then there's a

243
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,080
cost because the game is not designed to do that if you want to fast travel

244
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,280
everywhere then you're diminishing your own experience because the game is not

245
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:07,600
designed to speed around in menus yeah but if that's not how it's designed then

246
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:13,560
don't implement a a microtransaction that enables that if you've designed a

247
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:19,320
game that's not meant to be fast traveled around instantly then so be it

248
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:24,920
what as a developer what are you gaining from that because it's hard to explain

249
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:30,200
fast travel system is there but it's not a system that is it's unique through its

250
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,400
own experience like they're like called fairy stones right so I think you put a

251
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:39,320
fairy stone down I'll put a very stone down in the town I'm in now for example

252
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,920
and then so I get somewhere I'll put another fairy stone down and then I can

253
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,600
teleport between them two spots right so I thought but I don't know if that's a

254
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,640
one-and-done thing I can't remember but that is that is the fast travel system

255
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,520
there's no like I just want to zip back here and zip back there and zip back

256
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,600
there so if people want to speed up their gameplay for some reason then by

257
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:04,200
the crystal things but it's once again if you don't need it don't use it you

258
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,280
know if it was required then of course I'd be shitting all over it but of course

259
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,080
it's not required it's just something that that people can do if they want but

260
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,680
why would you that's all I'm worried about is you've only put you've only

261
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:20,680
sunk in three hours and it just seems odd where why throw that system in there

262
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,280
if you really don't need it I mean it's terrible for them because it seems like

263
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,880
a throwaway they've got so many good reviews and people singing its praises

264
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,960
and stuff and then they've done that and people all of a sudden going me me me

265
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,000
me what are angry people are you just Google it people are very angry but

266
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,160
then also I say the reviews that I've read have said they've never even

267
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:43,480
contemplated it or needed it so I just think it's a it's a non thing to be

268
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:49,080
honest with you but yeah the porn system so you can get people you can hire

269
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:54,560
people wandering around to become your porn if they are a pawn themselves but

270
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,680
the pawns that you have with you won't level up with you right so you will need

271
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:04,680
to hire higher level pawns as you go yeah but yeah I could have your porn

272
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,440
Conor's porn and someone else's porn what clever party of all my mates pawns

273
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,720
yeah yeah which is like that it's very cool and then you can say whatever I

274
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:18,080
Pokemon you swap and trade fucking portents sick sick did you have to keep

275
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:23,480
paying to hire them out or is it a one fee here's a tenner you're now stuck

276
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,000
with me until I tell you fuck off a thousand riff crystals they go and now

277
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,600
you're mine and yeah I just miss you yeah but say the original game added

278
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,200
and I never had any complaints so I don't know why everyone's kicking up

279
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:41,800
stingy world's changed a bit I guess but yeah so far the game's fucking great I

280
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:47,740
can't wait to play I'm super excited and yes everything I wanted so far which is

281
00:21:47,740 --> 00:21:52,120
more dragons dogma but looks prettier runs better and just yeah it's

282
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:58,160
fantastic yeah decent so yeah that's my dragons dogma review game the year 10

283
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:05,600
out 10 best game ever let's talk about announcement thing that I was gonna say

284
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:11,800
it's not really an announcement it's time for you to eat some humble pie talk

285
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,080
about the actual best game of all time

286
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:23,240
finally finished it yesterday it is done rain dolo's journey has come to an end

287
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:29,360
and what happened are you full squid man spoilers for anybody so if you don't

288
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:33,360
want to hear any boulders gate spoilers step out of room yep okay now that's out

289
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:42,920
the way so rain dolo's journey is a tragic one of course it fucking is yeah

290
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:50,760
I am fully squid yep I are you even any resemblance to what you used to be no

291
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,120
I'm full squid this is full so you can see in his eyes is right do you look

292
00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:57,520
like he is right do you look like the person at the very very beginning that

293
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:02,560
that it'll fit on the ship yeah but it's weird because you do look like that but

294
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,960
I don't know if it's different for every character but I swear his facial

295
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,280
structure has still got rain in there let me yeah let me Google fucking

296
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:14,040
boulders gate for little fit and see see what comes up but carry on but yeah so

297
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:21,960
there comes a time basically when you've got choices to make hmm as you have

298
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:26,320
throughout the whole game essentially hand it over to the hand the stones

299
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:31,440
over to your lifted let him deal with it I didn't like that idea yeah or you can

300
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,960
do a couple of other things or you can become for lifted yourself and go

301
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,160
through it rain has just been a whole journey about sacrifice everything is

302
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,080
done has been very sad to save save the world

303
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:49,240
save boulders gate save the universe killed your entire party and many many

304
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:54,560
people around you for very little reason I didn't kill anybody they saved anyone

305
00:23:54,560 --> 00:24:00,120
the vampire attacked me in my sleep so he got stabbed right that is how that

306
00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:04,440
one went down I didn't expect him to die that star in yeah he died straightaway

307
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,760
within ten minutes of meeting him I didn't know he was gonna die for it's

308
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:12,160
just a normal you know I didn't expect Game of Thrones level of loss here yeah

309
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,200
I thought oh yeah just a I'll attack him back and I've killed him he's dead

310
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,000
yep so that was him another guy got upset with the decision that was made

311
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,920
that I had to choose between this camp or that camp I went with evil goblins

312
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:29,720
because they offered a quicker path to success like that so he attacked me so

313
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:36,720
he got slept on dead another guy another demon woman thing she's fucking I had a

314
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,400
quest to go killer turn up did what I was asked killed her then picked then

315
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,680
her loot there's all her stuff like companion packs and I was like oh she

316
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,280
could have been a companion didn't even know they could have been companion

317
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,040
right that's also not on me and I can't think of any other ones but yeah they

318
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:57,160
died that's not my face is exactly how a villain sounds but it's everyone else's

319
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,320
fault and I was just defending myself so I got attacked twice and killed someone

320
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:06,280
that was told to kill I can't see any blame on me but they are nevertheless

321
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,920
stories a sad one he took he took the illithid form to save the world

322
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:19,040
essentially and he did what he had to do he did it he did it well and this this

323
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,800
also proves my point about too good to use syndrome right so the fight is

324
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,680
fucking hard man you have to do this out in the other you have to get in this

325
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,000
portal within five turns getting there then there's a brain got kill it within

326
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:35,760
five times she's got 300 health I've got it down to a lot I say like 100 or

327
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:41,560
something I've got two turns left and I don't do enough damage and my fucking

328
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,720
geezers are outside fighting so I couldn't get him in the pool couldn't get

329
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:49,760
him in quick enough so I looked through my scrolls I had a scroll that this does

330
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:55,200
50 to 100 damage this scroll did fucking 70 damage I only had one of them right

331
00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:01,640
so I'd there's 30 31 damage left I had to do in one turn yeah bearing in mind

332
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:07,440
one of my sword slashes does seven to twelve damage my spells do my spells do

333
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:13,400
like ten it's just shocking I had one I had one smoke don't you get loads of

334
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:18,080
cool powers for being a push do but that you're not used to fighting things that

335
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,040
have got that much health and you're not time constraint by one turn or oblivion

336
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:27,680
yeah so I looked in my fucking inventory the only thing that had more than 30

337
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:36,680
damage was a smoke powder bomb it done anything from eight 18 to 60 damage or

338
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:43,720
so mmm and needed to do 31 it did 31 bang on 31 I don't know but it killed it

339
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:49,560
killed it so luckily for me the brain went down jobs are good and cue the

340
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,920
praise I'm the greatest and then everyone realizes that it was an illicit

341
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,880
that saved them they're all bit scared rightfully so because I did brain eat

342
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,880
someone it's pretty disgusting but I had to you open what you opened up someone's

343
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:07,000
head like a boiled egg I had to and you ate the yolk being their brain part of

344
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:13,000
the story so I see how villainized you sound no you know I understand this cause

345
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,120
at the end you're eating people's heads no one person who had to you had to die

346
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:24,080
he had to they all had to fucking die today I have saved so many lives in that

347
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,040
game is the joke that's why I had a big squad because you can all the people

348
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,000
that you've saved or a lot allied with come with you at the end and you can

349
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,400
call them in for reinforcements and that's very cool I see how it all

350
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:43,720
culminated yeah so after all that my left and then the story says you know

351
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,960
you're lifted now you stand on the end of the pier looking and it says you're

352
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,480
lifted now you know you're gonna eat people and suck their brains out turn

353
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,040
them in stuff or are you are you a different and if it are you unique are

354
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,240
you this are you that do you feel yourself so then you have the choice of

355
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:06,880
continuing on as an illicit or killing yourself or hoping for the best and not

356
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,720
eating anybody but if you feel like you're gonna eat somebody kill yourself

357
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:16,160
or lock yourself in a prison for the rest of your days and I thought well I'm

358
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,400
not gonna kill myself is that's well out of order yeah just like the world so I

359
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,600
took the noble approach and put myself in jail so there I am I'm in prison and

360
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:29,880
then withers the old skeleton guy he comes down and he says you know you're

361
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:34,600
you're a good man do you feel like you could come out now and I put no I feel

362
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:40,360
myself but I also feel like I could eat people essentially so I kept myself in

363
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,960
the jail and that was it that's where I stay that's where I live and that's the

364
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:50,640
sad tale of rain dolo he sacrificed himself he turned illithid and then he

365
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,920
locked himself away from civilization because he didn't want to hurt anybody

366
00:28:54,920 --> 00:29:00,880
it's a sad sad tale but it's come to his end what's an absolutely pointless

367
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:08,560
fucking existence that rain dolo has has has imposed upon that world I saved the

368
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:14,760
entire haven't saved nothing save the world you get so you've you've killed

369
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:20,920
anyone that you've come into contact with so untrue you're just getting the

370
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,080
party you killed attacked me yeah you've killed all the attacked my shadow heart

371
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,240
in this she's next to me she's my best friend she's my lover is she what she

372
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,160
got in the prison with her no no she's gone on her own way so she's left you as

373
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,160
well well yeah I'm not gonna have a lesson case I eat her she's the main

374
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:41,880
reason I've locked myself away but but hold on but if you were given the option

375
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,320
to are you are you unique are you different do you not want to eat

376
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,280
people's brains like fucking scrambled eggs could you not have just gone with

377
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,540
that yeah but I don't know that the game's gonna go I don't know how he

378
00:29:53,540 --> 00:29:57,240
actually feels do I oh so you're scared I'm scared that's what it is if I'd

379
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,080
chicken shit right at the end no if I did that and I and it turned out that I

380
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:05,200
ate shadow heart in the next scene I'd turn the game off I've been fuming yeah

381
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,200
but that yeah yeah but I also saved them all because none of them are infected

382
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,760
by the parasite anymore yeah but so you allowed your emotion to get the better

383
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,800
of you and to enter so you you chose the easy way out you might as well just

384
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,640
killed yourself locked myself exactly because you were scared of things that

385
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:25,280
might not have happened I did the right thing there's no one's gonna convince

386
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,840
me that I was bad or I did anything wrong I was attacked I killed them I had

387
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:35,040
a job I killed them anyone that needed saving I saved you're a heartless man

388
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:40,000
that I saved an entire I saved an entire fucking castle full of vampire children

389
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:45,920
you what oh ironic the vampire children or children that had been turning to

390
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,920
vampire they get the fucking survive but a star this is the problem it's like the

391
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,840
witcher there's no straight in the neck there's no fucking right or wrong

392
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:58,040
answers just gray and gray there's no it's like yes this is the right answer

393
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:03,080
also comes with huge consequences the tale of rain dolo so I said this woman

394
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,000
right this camp of people were like please save our children have been

395
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:11,360
taken by the vampire king so I went to this fucking castle a really fucking

396
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:17,160
hard fight man it was that's what I was stuck on for so long and then I stopped

397
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,160
playing it and I went back and I fucking did it and I didn't turn the difficulty

398
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:26,920
down and I killed him killed him so and ironically it was a star is master

399
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:31,040
because the star ends up on a fucking steak like that right fucked up you

400
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,720
know and that killed him I was like I didn't even know him easy where he

401
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,680
tell me so it's quite cool that probably would have been his story yeah that

402
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,680
would have been a cool little fucking interview standing next year you were

403
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,080
fucking it's also cool as fuck that killed him and he's still in the game

404
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,680
and he's there and it's still it's still cool and it also gives me more reason to

405
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,280
play again which I definitely what happened to Shadowheart so how did that

406
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:56,040
work at the end you were standing on the cliffside and they were like Lazele left

407
00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:01,200
me Lazele the orc looking on the Giffy Yankee she won she was happy that I

408
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,320
saved everybody but she was like but you ate that geezers face and that was like

409
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:10,280
her master and she's I understand why did it but a bit too much yes didn't

410
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:15,440
like that but she's off the other geezer is you know he's someone from the rift

411
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:20,040
he was a nobody didn't even have a voice on nothing it's quite funny when they're

412
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,600
talking to your companions are shadow she's turned from the I even turn oh

413
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,840
good because she's evil right so she's turned from the dark into the light rara

414
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:32,400
the Giffy Yankee warrior she's done this and that and then just looked at my porn

415
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:37,520
that got summoned is like you just know you're an NPC that should be another

416
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:42,840
character but it's not yeah so Shadowheart I don't know what she did you know she's

417
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:47,240
probably just living a sad life without me but she has now been freed I took her

418
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:51,480
I found her parents with her I've everything that I've done whenever

419
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,040
there's been a moral dilemma I've always tried to help the people and I have

420
00:32:55,040 --> 00:33:01,040
saved more lives than I have I cannot believe that you've gone through this

421
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:06,240
entire thing just to put yourself in prison it's not about me it's about

422
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,880
saving the world it's about saving boulder's gates about saving favor and

423
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:15,040
it's about saving ever saving the world from what from the fucking elder brain

424
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:19,960
you just become part of it though I didn't all the elephants are dead well

425
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:24,580
they're not because one of them is in a fucking little prison cell ones just me

426
00:33:24,580 --> 00:33:30,480
I can't believe you were there was no intrigue to to not go in a prison and

427
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:35,320
see how you'd fared no on the outside well each other and I don't know what

428
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:40,040
his intentions are cuz I'm not him so I presume that if I pick that it might

429
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,840
have dire consequences because that's how the entire game goes you go I wish I

430
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,080
didn't do that I'm not safe scum in so I'm gonna have to live with it well I

431
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,560
want to do that shadow heart will live I put myself in jail everyone's a winner

432
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:55,280
she can come visit me I mean I can't get my tentacles through the cell so it's

433
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,320
all good it's I'm very happy with the choice I made I feel like it's a very

434
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:04,440
noble and honorable way I'm upset I'm upset with this choice I don't feel

435
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:09,680
like rain dolo deserve I feel it is a better you turn him into a squid that's

436
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,640
what I find irritable I turn him into a squid for the sake of humanity because

437
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,120
without the squid powers I would have had no chance I would literally have had

438
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:23,920
no chance honestly Wayne rain dolo is fucking shocking I built him so shit he

439
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,160
was so shit at everything but literally the only character that could do any

440
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:32,360
damage was lazy was lazyl she's the only one that carried me for the entire game

441
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:37,240
everyone else was wank shadow heart just went like untouchable she'd use sanctuary

442
00:34:37,240 --> 00:34:40,600
and then she couldn't get hit and then she just healed everyone all the time the

443
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,800
fucking jaseline or whatever his name is the major summoned he is fucking

444
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:49,000
shocking glass cannon mate he's so powerful but a fucking breeze blew him

445
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,440
over and he was down so he was like he was good when he was up he was down more

446
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,260
than he was up that's what fucking majors are though and yeah I know but he was

447
00:34:56,260 --> 00:35:00,640
really really weak and then it's proper glass he is proper glass and then and

448
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:06,320
then rain was just like I think I built him like jack of all trades master of

449
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,680
something he's really like he's done a lot but didn't do anything good never

450
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:14,360
good you always want you always want to fucking yeah I've learned that with that

451
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,200
kind of stuff you want to be a master of something you don't want to be a jack of

452
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,800
all you what you want to show your strengths at some point I get too

453
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,560
excited I'm not that sounds like a call of Billy I'll get that even though it's

454
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,200
got nothing to do with what I currently do but it sounded good so did you did

455
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:32,720
you um no yeah cuz you you were on that podcast when we decided the date to go

456
00:35:32,720 --> 00:35:36,400
and see Connor and play D&D you don't need to speak to Jim I don't know if she's

457
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,240
working or not she's got to wait for her shifts to come they come monthly already

458
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:45,000
come monthly is nothing I can do I asked him I said are you all good with that date and his

459
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,360
response was how many weeks exactly is it because she's working maybe she's

460
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,440
working next weekend and she does every other weekend we figured that out

461
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,040
yeah but then you changed the date you said because we gave you the original

462
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,600
date which was the sixth and you said can't do that because she's working then

463
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:06,600
we changed the weekend after right the 13th for it so how many weeks from 13th

464
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:11,840
of April next weekend she's working right so so so not this weekend so next

465
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,840
weekend which is a 30th she's working so then you've got the weekend after that

466
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:21,920
is the sixth yeah is she working the sixth no she's on off on so the 13th

467
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,840
she's on she's working well clearly so when I was when we picked the six and

468
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:31,880
you this is what I presume but you said I have to figure it out so I was sick

469
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:36,040
for the 13th we'll figure it out you said on the podcast the other day Connor

470
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,120
said he couldn't do the sick that's why it got changed that's what you saw is

471
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:43,080
that why I got changed that's what I said on the podcast I listened to it with my

472
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:48,360
own ears maybe I'm in the wrong doesn't matter we'll figure it out but I'm

473
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,400
definitely doing it all I was trying to make a point of is it whenever we do it

474
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,280
we're gonna have to make our characters again because I feel like I've made one

475
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,960
that's a jack-of-all-trades as well and I don't like character so I will need to

476
00:36:59,960 --> 00:37:02,440
make another one and I'm gonna specialize in something very very

477
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:08,440
specific like cooking that's fine something I'm gonna poison it yeah cool

478
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,400
it's not gonna be good but yeah rain rain dialers journey has come to an end

479
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:17,640
and I'm very very happy about it's ended and more importantly I'm very happy

480
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,760
that I finished the game because you said I would never do it I'm happy for

481
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:25,440
you said I would never go back to it I also believed I wouldn't but I lied

482
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,080
pressure and I've done it you had a bold statement and said it's your all-time

483
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,840
favorite game but you had never finished it but you can't have that statement

484
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,600
you said that you send that but then Steph's all-time favorite game is

485
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,440
breath of the wild she never finished that she's finished breath of the world

486
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,320
yeah now she has finished though but she never had and said it's all time

487
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,680
fine but that's okay yeah but she was right at the end so was I you weren't

488
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,280
no yeah right at the end all I do is kill one enemy and then go to the boss

489
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:55,520
are you doing another playthrough yes I need to start a proper playthrough what

490
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:59,920
you mean one with actual story involved not fucking two-thirds of it cut out

491
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:03,720
with other characters yeah I'm gonna do dark urge next I'm gonna go full villain

492
00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:08,520
yeah oh sorry I forget how fucking yeah fucking priestly you were this time around

493
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,520
you fucking play the game and tell me how many people don't die exactly exactly

494
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,000
I haven't got the patience for it so I'm gonna choose a drow I'm gonna do

495
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,120
because they're like the because you can choose like the pre-made characters

496
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,960
right so if you want to play as a star and you can play as a star you can play

497
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,040
as any of these which is cool because they're fully voiced it's probably more

498
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:30,040
interactive the darker just got its own character it's like a dragon born he's

499
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:35,360
like an actual dragon but I feel like I want to create a drow because they are

500
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,560
like the oppressed race they hate everybody everybody hates them but they

501
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:44,480
are cunts they are like they have no feeling no remorse they'll kill traitor

502
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:50,680
scum I feel like it suits the drow race as a as a dark urge because I don't know

503
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,080
exactly what dark urges but I know the whole game is pretty much different and

504
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:59,560
I'm pretty sure is very evil so I'm looking forward to that but I was gonna

505
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,500
start last night I thought am I mental am I fucking mental I've just finished a

506
00:39:03,500 --> 00:39:07,620
hundred-hour journey on boulders gate don't start a new one let it fester for

507
00:39:07,620 --> 00:39:11,680
a while let it simmer then we'll go back but at the moment it's all dragons dogma

508
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:16,520
or all guns are going and I'm looking forward to getting home and playing it

509
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,280
really really excited to be honest I didn't want to come here today because I

510
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:25,040

515
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:50,280
in the morning in the morning fresh head fresh brain fresh coffee and we went

523
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:29,080
so yeah that's that for me I need a piss so we can carry on I can hold it or

524
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:36,680
no I got my posit I love a little nap there we are back where was he what was

525
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:40,840
he doing just finished up my segment although I will say gone I also have

526
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,240
more to add because I forgot how long his pins have been here two weeks go on I

527
00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:55,360
also finished Final Fantasy 7 remake they some yep did that it's tough one

528
00:40:55,360 --> 00:41:03,120
I didn't like it I didn't like where I got up to it was too much picking

529
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,480
flowers it was too much ball sound parks gonna be all over this it was it was

530
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:11,620
really it was really mind-numbingly boring yeah so I stopped playing it you

531
00:41:11,620 --> 00:41:15,620
alright and I was playing Final Fantasy online mm-hmm obviously which is the

532
00:41:15,620 --> 00:41:21,360
same shit that's different don't pick this up go get your share the way and

533
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:26,040
then we'll then I'll quickly touch on that so yeah and then I saw Final Fantasy

534
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:31,800
7 rebirth come out and everyone's going wild for it games amazing it's a lot of

535
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,800
good things open world it's completely different ways this one's very linear

536
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:40,080
very boring locales it was a bit shit well you know what fuck it I'm gonna do

537
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,960
it so what I did I put it on the easiest setting I just ran through everything

538
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,280
I didn't try and sidetracked to pick anything up just ran through it

539
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:52,320
absolutely blitz the game and when the story's going it's good it's really good

540
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,880
the stories really cool characters are cool I like all the twists and turns and

541
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,880
all that very good but all the all the mundane side quests I was just like no

542
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:04,020
but there's no way of like skipping certain things that are boring they just

543
00:42:04,020 --> 00:42:09,360
have to do it you have to do it so it's like I have to fucking move this crate

544
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,360
over here with this mechanical arm and it's the world's burning in the

545
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,640
background but you go and pick ten cloves of garlic for the garlic farmer

546
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:21,720
basically that so yeah that shit that I had to do was horrible but the actual

547
00:42:21,720 --> 00:42:25,520
story is really good so much so that I've bought Final Fantasy 7 rebirth

548
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,560
straight away jumped into that like a mad man is that the one where it's like

549
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:33,160
they've made it into split into three bits it's a split into three games the

550
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:37,280
original Final Fantasy 7 has been split into three games being so I'm saying

551
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:42,160
fucking the gaps huge and now Final Fantasy 7 rebirth which is obviously a

552
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:46,240
middle portion or however they've split the game so never played the original

553
00:42:46,240 --> 00:42:53,800
to its completion but so far it's very fucking cool very beautiful very just so

554
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:59,120
much better in every conceivable way from the other one like every possible

555
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,920
way this is how a sequel should be or a second part of the game whatever you

556
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:07,920
want to look so much better on every level it's amazing but obviously it

557
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,240
doesn't matter anymore because Dragon's Dogma so what will happen is I'll go back and play

558
00:43:11,240 --> 00:43:14,920
Final Fantasy 7 rebirth before they release the third one yeah because I

559
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:19,120
bought Final Fantasy 7 remake played it for 10 minutes for I don't like this

560
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,640
never played it again when rebirth was close to coming out I was like that looks

561
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,440
cool I want to smash through that so that's what's happened

562
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,080
Final Fantasy 7 rebirth has come out I'm enjoying it a lot

563
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:33,400
Dragon's Dogma has come out it's gonna get binned and then I'll play it before the third one

564
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:43,880
I am I'm so sick and tired of fucking fetch quests I I I can't Ash is in

565
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:51,080
jeopardy it's in jeopardy my mind's thinking of other things and I don't

566
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:56,960
know what to do to fucking help it because this this fucking this fucking

567
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:02,840
slog on Final Fantasy online between a realm reborn and and Heaven's Ward is

568
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:08,680
something that I've never I've never experienced anything like it in my life

569
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:15,360
it has got to be one of the most boring stories I think I've ever had the

570
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:20,960
displeasure of taking part in when it's good it's good when it's ramping up but

571
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:29,640
you get 200 quests of fuck all of baking cakes and speaking to this person and

572
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:33,120
then go over and speak to that person that's 10 foot away and then you've got

573
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,280
to travel to this place speak to that person for two words of dialogue

574
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:40,120
straight back to exactly where you just was to speak to the person who's then

575
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,640
gonna send you five feet away to fucking stroke a cat and then speak to that

576
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,800
person about how the cat was feeling and then go and speak to that person and

577
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:51,960
then eventually you might be able to attack something once and then you go

578
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:56,400
and speak to another hundred people big battle for five minutes wait in a queue

579
00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:00,560
for a raid that's fucking ten years old for half an hour ten more minutes of

580
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:08,880
dialogue I'm sick of it join it yeah it's fucking um ah and I and I made the

581
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:14,200
fatal error of looking at like the Final Fantasy wiki because there's a whole

582
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:19,000
drop-down list of all the main scenario quest for every single expansion just to

583
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:27,920
see how many I had left and oh my god ah I'm I'm in the latter end but when I

584
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,760
first looked it I was like surely because obviously got the you got the

585
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:36,320
around reborn main story like main scenario requests and then after that

586
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,640
you got the little interlude between that and fucking Heaven's Ward and I was

587
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,680
like surely this can't be that big and then someone in a novice chat was like

588
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,040
no it's just as big as as around we brought and I was like there's there's

589
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,600
no fucking way and then obviously when you were doing it and you were telling

590
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:54,040
me about how much it fucking cuts down your experience gain fuck me I've been

591
00:45:54,040 --> 00:46:00,720
level what my 57 or something like that for about 30 hours I just want to get to

592
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:04,200
70 so I can play a fucking Reaper but I can't because I've got slog through this

593
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:09,480
shit and every person I speak to it's like yeah the game was all about the

594
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,440
story it's immersive you need to you need to start paying attention I can't

595
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:19,080
with ten paragraphs of dialogue that's not voice acted that I've got no fucking

596
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,960
but I don't know what's going on the minute a cutscene goes on I hit escape

597
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,760
and get out of it straight away because I'm not paying attention I can't be

598
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:32,880
bothered I don't want to play this game anymore it's making me feel that way

599
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:40,280
no one's forcing you I know I know but I feel I feel so conflicted because all I

600
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:47,320
keep hearing from everyone is the game gets so good at the end and it's just

601
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,120
trying to get there I don't even think it's at the end it's just out of this shit

602
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:56,960
because I echo your sentiment and agree so boring it got there must have been

603
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:03,560
about I want to say at least three hours of one evening of me just going back and

604
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:09,320
forth without hitting anybody yeah and it was just talk talk talk talk and I

605
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:14,040
was like this is getting silly now and I even googled myself and I screenshot and

606
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:18,880
send it to you like I'm like I don't know eight missions away from finishing

607
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:23,400
it but they make missions or so 50 missions inside it inside it about the

608
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:29,320
same I'm gonna be wrong I'm all for a story driven game and obviously Square

609
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:33,040
Enix that that that's their bread and butter especially when it comes to

610
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:38,600
Final Fantasy it's all story driven I understand that but fucking hell like

611
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,680
this is this something else and at the same time it's so difficult because if

612
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:47,360
it was a hard no this is just how the game is full stop I'd fuck it off

613
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:51,440
straight away yes but the fact that everyone's saying literally the minute

614
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:55,680
you get into Heaven's Ward it starts fucking ramping up and then that's it

615
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:59,800
off you go it's fantastic there's voice acting all over the place fucking this

616
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:04,400
that they really you really learned from from their first release and fucking

617
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:08,200
listen to feedback and blah blah blah but it's not just trying to get there is

618
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:12,400
it's very hard I always maintained this even before I played it because I'd

619
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:16,160
always heard that the game was good you have to pull a hundred hours in before

620
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:20,840
it gets good as a no game should have a hundred hour time to play that is a

621
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:25,320
fucking tough one man but yeah no I'm in the same bar I won't be playing it for a

622
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,400
while because the Dragon's Dogma now I'm gonna be taking my sweet time with this

623
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:33,040
and enjoying it don't get me wrong it is fun it's a fun game I like the combat I

624
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:38,360
like the abilities I like it all I love the community very very fun I haven't

625
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:42,240
played it for a couple of days I'm planning on playing it today just to try

626
00:48:42,240 --> 00:48:48,680
and fucking slowly because my plan now is to completely ignore any kind of lore

627
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:52,560
that's going on until I'm in Heavensward and then watch a fucking YouTube

628
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:56,760
gloss over of exactly what the diff what happens between around we born and

629
00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:00,600
fucking Heavensward so I can catch up with the law because I can't I just need

630
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:05,160
like a little 15 minute video of some some American geezer telling me what the

631
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:11,200
fuck's going on and then I can crack on because I'm not I'm not interested it's

632
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:16,000
so bought even the voice acted scenes half of them I've just been skipping

633
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:26,240
them I get it it does get very mundane because I know the ends in sight and

634
00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:29,960
because I've put so much time into it I have to at least get to Heavensward now

635
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:37,480
by Heavensward yeah I have to see what yeah if we agree if we get there and

636
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:41,920
it's not everything it's been hyped up to be we just leave it but what I don't

637
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:47,120
understand is what could change that much for it to because I don't understand

638
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,320
the way people go on about it's like a fucking night and day but don't

639
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:54,960
understand what could possibly change in that expansion that makes it that much

640
00:49:54,960 --> 00:50:00,000
better like the game itself when you're playing it good fun but the the the

641
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,320
you'll still have to go and deliver berries the postman's and stuff like I

642
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,920
don't I don't get what will change I mean I definitely know that I'll finally

643
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:13,080
get the other half of my abilities please the fucking spell book with all

644
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,760
the abilities that are grayed out because I haven't hit fucking Heavensward

645
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:20,920
yet because it's been gated behind a thousand hours all that I can't wait

646
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,520
for that to then suddenly have to do a million quests to get my abilities and

647
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,600
then not know how the fuck to use them it's a difficult one right because you

648
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:32,680
could say the same about wow because in terms of the way because wow

649
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:36,080
structured differently right so you can just go on someone ago yeah except Bob

650
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:41,640
if you was forced to like late that dialogue role and just press X press X

651
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:45,680
press it or press click whatever then you would feel the same about well but

652
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,800
because you can just accept and go well it used to be like that with wow and

653
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,640
then they changed it and then it because it used to be the the the quest log

654
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:58,120
would scroll in that little parchment that comes up very slowly and then they

655
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,720
brought in a setting where you could then speed that up and then they brought

656
00:51:01,720 --> 00:51:05,320
in a setting where it was just instant and now it's just fucking instant yeah

657
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:09,920
just click out of it but it's because it's funny enough it was it was yesterday

658
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:18,160
I was watching her a like a wow versus Final Fantasy online and having

659
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:23,200
obviously played a fair chunk of both now they are two completely different

660
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:28,120
beasts the the the end game goal is different World of Warcraft is very much

661
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:33,640
you're on a constant uphill climb for gear you're doing mythic plus you're

662
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:38,480
doing raiding that it is a race to get right to the very end and get the best

663
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,840
gear and keep going and every six months a new patch comes out and it's fucking

664
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:45,160
rinse and repeat something comes out and everything gets scaled up and blah blah

665
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:52,400
blah whereas Final Fantasy is the kind of like elder scrolls where the gear

666
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:58,200
once you get your gear gear set that's it it doesn't it like plateaus you don't

667
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:02,560
have to worry about I need to fucking do this latest raid to get this there's no

668
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:06,760
that that best in slot that that's in Wow doesn't necessarily exist to the

669
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:12,560
extent that it does in Wow so you're you're much more free to live your own

670
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,160
world if I want to fucking get to the end game and become a fisherman for the

671
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:19,280
rest of my life then so be it I'll go deep-sea fishing if I want to just

672
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:23,440
spend all my money in the casino then then so be it like you've got that kind

673
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:28,920
of freedom and I'm just trying to work out which beast I want to fucking be a

674
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:35,000
part of you know I mean I feel like you need to get I need to get to the end of

675
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:39,360
the fucking of the second beast to work out which one I hate the least don't

676
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:43,000
feel like you're playing the game that everyone else is yet or we aren't

677
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:47,280
playing the game everyone else is yet it's had moments well footage is really

678
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:50,920
good there's also been a lot of moments where I thought I've done it and then I

679
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:56,800
haven't the raids that you have to jump into or the trials they're fun as fuck

680
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:04,640
yeah the the animations and the the graphics and the abilities that you have

681
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:09,560
really fucking cool like the combat wires I really like it it's really cool

682
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:14,160
and that one of the final missions where halfway through that machine comes down

683
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:18,440
that mountain you get and you just start blasting through I was like this is

684
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:22,720
this is not single player game yeah very cool it's very fun but it's just more

685
00:53:22,720 --> 00:53:28,120
of that one yeah the fucking slog to get there is incredible it must it must just

686
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:32,400
be amazing once you get through because there's no way that percentage that

687
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,980
many people would preach that I wasn't true I asked in the notice some

688
00:53:35,980 --> 00:53:39,640
substance I was in a novice chat the other day I said how do you see your

689
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:43,920
time played because obviously I'm why you just put forward slash played and it's

690
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:51,120
forward slash I think it was like P time and then it and then it comes up

691
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:56,480
saving well and tell you and mine was like what was it it was like a couple of

692
00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:01,720
days or some shit like that and there was a geezer in the novice chat who had

693
00:54:01,720 --> 00:54:08,040
like a crown emblem on his name so he's obviously fucking big week 338 days on

694
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:15,520
that character he had played 338 days I did the fucking I did the maths this

695
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:26,360
morning because I wanted to really work that out so that was 338 days 8,112

696
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:34,040
hours minimum that person's put into one character 8,000 hours now crazy days

697
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,640
that's impressive it's very impressive so the game must be fucking good for you

698
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:45,240
to do that for sure it has to be and that's my fucking that's my run over

699
00:54:45,240 --> 00:54:50,760
basically I don't see I can see on you how long I've played it for but it's

700
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:58,000
been quite a fucking while hmm but no I'll be honest I really like it and I

701
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:03,200
will definitely go back to it will be the MMO I stick with just because it

702
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:07,800
just suits me right it can pick it up and put it down yeah for sure very easy

703
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:12,920
World of Warcraft you can't it to be fair if if wow was on console I'd

704
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:20,880
probably stay well because I like the aesthetic but I just I much enjoy playing

705
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:26,520
console too much to play well one of one of the the main comparisons between the

706
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:33,640
two is is graphics and like most people say that Final Fantasy has far superior

707
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:40,400
graphics but I sit on the side of I prefer well I prefer that artistic style

708
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:47,000
to it and I think what I've also got which is conflict in my brain is

709
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:52,480
obviously I'm reading a lot of the books so you've got an affinity with me as 15

710
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:56,160
years worth of fucking gameplay for me so I already love the game and the

711
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,560
characters in it I'm now reading the book so I'm getting fucking sinking my

712
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:03,360
teeth right into the fucking law and because I know the game inside out I

713
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:09,040
know what I'm reading and it's like just giving me that little bit of extra

714
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:14,360
fucking love you know I mean yeah I completely understand that tasty not

715
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,840
it's not the graphics are the graphics I take or leave with either game I think

716
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:24,240
they're both fine but aesthetically I'm more dungeons dragons monsters you know

717
00:56:24,240 --> 00:56:29,520
fucking demons whereas Final Fantasy's bunnies yeah bunnies and people driving

718
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:33,760
around and flying cars and stuff well I'm like no I like dragons and and

719
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:39,120
fucking like big demons coming out of volcanoes and stuff that's my jam where

720
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:43,080
I feel like Final Fantasy is more just it's not that if you know I mean I

721
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:47,200
think it does get there and there's been times in the game where it has got to

722
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:51,920
that level as well but yeah at the moment World War X got that darker tone

723
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:58,520
and I like the darker tone well I'm just trying to see exactly where I am and

724
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:08,840
yeah I'm in the I'm pretty sure I'm in the latter half of oh no I'm not yeah

725
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:17,440
I've done the the Ank the Akaka fa and amphitheater you know that trial you've

726
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:21,720
got to do that one on hard is one of the last one of the latter ones and then

727
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:30,880
I've got yeah there's maybe fucking millions was that like maybe another 30

728
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:36,400
fucking quests to do until I'm in Heaven's Ward so I'll be 30 with about

729
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:42,520
fucking 30 in between of each fucking quest I'm trying to see I'm sure I sent

730
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:47,360
you the quest logs or where I was at but I can't seem to find they they cut out

731
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:52,080
over a hundred quests as well from that and you know what's even more griping

732
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:56,680
what's even more worse is I can't remember the date but with the next

733
00:57:56,680 --> 00:58:02,240
update that's coming out like the next big one they're introducing a skip for

734
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:09,360
all of this a skip to fucking like towards the end of of the expansions so

735
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:14,240
but so so I'm now like I'm now do I want to wait for that skip and not have to

736
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:17,000
endure this or do I want to be able to say no no I did this and I didn't miss

737
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:22,960
out on anything I cracked on so I think I'm at like I think I'm I'm between 201

738
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:28,360
and 205 but I'm not sure which one and that's the rest of them but I don't know

739
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:32,720
how many are you further than that or before that what's 201 205 what's that

740
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:40,560
on your obviously I know there's a question and uninvited Asian and then

741
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:50,360
because my one here doesn't have numbers an uninvited Asian I've got an

742
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:57,720
inspected I'm trying to I want uninvited Asian yes you're you're a little bit

743
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:05,560
further than me so I'm I'm currently was that like one two three four five six

744
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:13,880
seven eight nine I'm nine behind you and then after that you've got another one

745
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:22,200
two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen

746
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:29,360
fifteen sixteen seventeen more chapter thingies you've got you've got two more

747
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:34,080
until you're in the the the part two like the final part of this yeah I knew

748
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,920
that because I went into the you can go into your in and you can look at the

749
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:42,640
yeah storybook thing and it tells you whereabouts you are in the thing but it

750
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:45,000
doesn't tell you how many are in there because I suppose that's another thing

751
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,400
as well is that you can go into your in and look at that law if you wanted a

752
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:50,560
quick recap of everything I'd imagine you can go on that and then just press

753
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:54,360
play and then away you go and you can fucking watch it all over again I'd

754
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:58,840
quite I'd be quite interested to see how they how that pairs together because

755
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:04,320
obviously it's all the cutscenes but the couple of the cutscenes won't make sense

756
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:09,040
if it's missing out all the ones that don't have dialogue that makes sense yeah

757
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:12,560
I don't know I wanna see I think you're right I think just going on YouTube and

758
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:16,720
doing the fucking realm reborn recap is just enough and it'll just be basically

759
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:22,440
what you did with Final Fantasy that one we bought the love we love for five

760
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:26,440
minutes and then realized it was shit oh yeah five minutes that's the one I

761
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,440
don't think I watched the end of the cutscenes that's what I plan to do but I

762
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:33,520
never did I did it with Guardians of the Galaxy yeah yeah because I just had

763
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,880
enough of the combat I liked all the story in that is the combat I just hated

764
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:40,560
it so yeah I watched all the cutscenes and I just watched the end of the game I

765
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:46,160
loved that game man the game was very good just combat grew old for me quickly

766
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:51,920
before we wrap up did you see the World of Warcraft Battle Royale? What? You've seen

767
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:57,240
that? No. World of Warcraft Battle Royale? Like an actual game? Extremely fun. What do you mean?

768
01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:02,840
Extremely fun perfect for a controller I might add absolutely perfect for it

769
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:09,920
what is it? They announced a limited time event so they they had a patch coming

770
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:15,080
out on their roadmap and it was just a like a pirate symbol you know almost

771
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:18,880
what can this be what can this be and basically what it is is it it's an

772
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:22,960
interim patch between now and the war within or when the next patch comes

773
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:28,040
over like Fated Raiden or like Bollocks to keep people sweet and it's it's a

774
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:33,040
battle royale and it's called plunder storm and it's all like pirate themed

775
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:39,080
and it's your typical like drop in on a fucking rather than a ship you're on

776
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:46,360
like a parrot that drops you into a place called a rafi basin and it's

777
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:50,640
completely separate from World of Warcraft it's in a completely separate

778
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:54,120
mode so when you log in and you got your character screen at the top left it says

779
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:59,640
like a war within so the current whatever and then next to it is plunder

780
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:04,080
storm you click on that swaps you over into a different fucking login screen

781
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:11,960
and there's a character and typical fucking battle royale fashion it's up

782
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:16,680
to 60 player games you drop in however there's no guns or anything like that

783
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:21,320
completely overhauled the spells there's all completely different spells and

784
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:26,560
abilities and stuff but you can only pick up four of them at any given time

785
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:31,960
that's good and they can upgrade right and it's obviously you got the typical

786
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:36,880
zone that's closing in but there's NPCs and monsters and stuff like that and you

787
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:40,840
can kill them and level up and as you level up your health goes up when your

788
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:44,640
damage goes up and then sometimes they might drop spells you pick up a spell

789
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:49,080
there's one called like firestorm well if you kill an enemy and it drops

790
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:54,880
firestorm again it then upgrades from fucking like stat like good to like

791
01:02:54,880 --> 01:03:02,360
uncommon and then to rare and then epic like the gear does in WoW and it's yeah

792
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:05,680
it's fucking fun man because the combat is completely different it's not

793
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:14,200
clicking on someone and then attacking it's more Elder Scrolls type combat

794
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:20,720
kind of similar to that it's very very very unique and I've been having a lot

795
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:25,320
of fun with it it's very cool very strange we never expected that yeah no

796
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:29,120
I don't think anyone fucking expected it but yeah for from a controller point of

797
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:36,120
view so you have your bog standard weapon so like like your sword which is

798
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:40,120
like which you can just normal like hack and slash with and then the button next

799
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:46,000
to that is your health potion which is just on like a 30 second cooldown that I

800
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:50,920
think will heal you like two-thirds of your health while you're channeling it

801
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:55,720
you basically like chug from like this big blood casket thing and then yeah

802
01:03:55,720 --> 01:04:00,040
you've got your four abilities at the end that you have to obviously find and

803
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:03,440
loot and there's all chests and stuff which are like dotted around the map

804
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:08,720
that are like plunder and all this bollocks there's a it's a battle pass

805
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:12,760
but obviously for WoW it's like a renowned scale you remember them so it's

806
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,760
one of them where there's all cosmetics and mounts that you can get from that

807
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:19,560
that that translate over to in-game because the characters on this battle

808
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:24,960
royale have absolutely they're nothing to do with your characters in World of

809
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:28,360
Warcraft absolutely nothing you can create like you can change your

810
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:34,200
character for every single game and you get to pick all the every single race

811
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:37,840
and you can make her so you can make a war going one game and then you can

812
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:40,640
fucking change it to a gnome the next and then you can make an orc whatever

813
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:46,520
and yeah there's like 40 tears on this renowned thing with cool cosmetics and

814
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:50,080
shit like that and they all go into the main game into the main game that's cool

815
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,440
yeah it's decent man real decent I'm having a lot of fun with it it's just

816
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:58,240
one of them very easy fucking pick up and put it down type quite quick games

817
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:01,400
when you when you jump in there gives you a couple of little quests it might

818
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:09,840
be like going kill two elite mobs within the within the area and yeah it's just

819
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:14,960
fun man they've got solos and duos so far I don't like limited time modes

820
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:18,720
though cuz that's the problem with it and it well I feel like they're really

821
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,400
good then you want them to stay I think that's what they're doing they're

822
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:26,000
testing the waters to see if this is a new pathway because basically from what

823
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:32,200
I was reading one of the guys that's come on to the development team was the

824
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:39,400
head of or was in charge of making a game it was called like like spells ward

825
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:44,520
or some shit like that which is a very very very similar makeup to this battle

826
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:47,840
royale so everyone's like it makes perfect sense that now this person's

827
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:51,800
come over to the development team on Wow suddenly about a royal comes out which

828
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:56,000
is very very similar to that kind of makeup of whatever that game was called

829
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,600
it's just about a way out that's quite unique because obviously every other

830
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:02,400
battle Royale is going to pick up the guns and fucking shoot people whereas

831
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:07,760
this one is pick up these different spells and already they've been patch

832
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:11,480
notes and earth this and fucking buff that and bloody bloody blah a lot of

833
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:15,720
people are shitting on it but I'm with the crew that says we don't like it

834
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:20,080
don't fucking play it it's free yeah I agree but I think you have to have an

835
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:24,200
active an active sub to be able to play it that's fair enough though but it's

836
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:27,960
very fun it's very very fun reason I say I'll be daisies for controllers because

837
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:34,600
there's only seven no six buttons yeah that's that's why like that's why like

838
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:38,480
early gaming RPGs because I'm not overwhelmed yeah I Dragon's Dog more

839
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:44,000
I've got I start off with fucking I've got a healing fucking globe thing that

840
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:48,840
put my staff up and I can heal anyone that's in the globe so I call rain over

841
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:55,640
my get my boy or I've got a little arcane blast thing that swing about or

842
01:06:55,640 --> 01:07:00,440
I've got a fire spell that comes out like a flame thrower but to do like more

843
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,600
powerful suppose you have to channel it so you hold your staff up yeah you get

844
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:06,800
this like glowing thing and then when it's finished then you can say with

845
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:09,960
some of the abilities on this you know but the the channeling thing and all

846
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:13,720
that but that's cool because I'll master these three know what they are and then

847
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:17,440
I can move on to other abilities and also then you can switch classes right so

848
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:24,560
you can dual class like a sorcerer that also can use a spear mm-hmm so yeah

849
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:28,020
there's the staff with four classes but they also dive old into multi classes

850
01:07:28,020 --> 01:07:32,120
like the I don't know if it's coming be exactly called but I think there was

851
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:36,060
something called a night strider or sat in in Dragon's Dog more one so you can

852
01:07:36,060 --> 01:07:43,360
start off as a fighter mage archer or thief or rogue or whatever but you say

853
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:47,840
you start as the archer you can later down the line turn that into like a like

854
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:53,240
a night strider the air bow and arrow and daggers yeah so yeah you can split

855
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:55,800
them up yeah very cool I just want to go and play Jason

856
01:07:55,800 --> 01:08:02,360
but I won't be able to anyway because I've got kids fuck me I guess what a
