1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Ding dong the podcast's on.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:03,680
I'm back.

3
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:04,640
He's back.

4
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,000
Ladies and gentlemen, he's back.

5
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:06,720
I'm back.

6
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:07,600
Oh, my God.

7
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,160
In what will this be?

8
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,760
Episode 98 in fucking two weeks, it will be 100 episodes.

9
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,520
And then a month after that, we would have been doing it for two years.

10
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:19,600
It's gone quick.

11
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:20,640
Two years.

12
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,080
I mean, I think in real terms, because of delays and shit like that,

13
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:28,400
I think we're probably at the two year mark or near it by a couple of weeks.

14
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,520
However, that's very, very exciting.

15
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,040
Do you know the date when we started?

16
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:34,960
Well, just look at the episode.

17
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:40,080
Just scroll back through the fucking 90 odd episodes on on Les Spottes Vey.

18
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:40,640
Here we go.

19
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,640
We released our first episode on the 24th of June, 2022.

20
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:47,520
24th of June.

21
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,520
So 10 days, we would have technically been doing it for a year.

22
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:52,880
Two years.

23
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:58,000
I can still remember what job I was doing as well the day after we did it.

24
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,960
Well, no, not the day after the day.

25
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,760
Yeah, no, because we released it on the Monday, the day that we released it.

26
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,000
Yeah.

27
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,080
I remember where I was sitting and how excited I was.

28
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:06,800
It's ridiculous.

29
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,880
I remember telling everyone going, oh, we're going to do a podcast.

30
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,600
And it's like such a such a fucking curve ball to throw at someone

31
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,440
when you've showed no interest in podcasting whatsoever.

32
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:18,560
Here you go.

33
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:23,200
So I always wanted to do when well, when podcasts become a thing,

34
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,320
I didn't think about it before podcasts existed.

35
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:30,560
Well, I say that I actually did in a weird way because I don't know if I told you,

36
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,040
I've always said my business idea was to create a game in radio station.

37
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:35,680
Radio station.

38
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,160
Yeah.

39
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,880
But this is essentially it, but not essentially.

40
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,600
Yeah, because remember when we did the fucking spider chart or whatever it fucking was,

41
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,040
radio station was one of the things and I was like, we ain't got the money for

42
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,080
fucking radio station podcasting is just way easier, man.

43
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:50,560
Oh, yeah.

44
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,560
But it's such a fucking saturated world.

45
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,920
Oh, yeah, definitely.

46
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:56,480
Definitely.

47
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,080
Plus we're shit.

48
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,320
I don't think we are, man.

49
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,280
I think we're all right.

50
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,600
No, yeah, we hit all the fucking heavy subjects,

51
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,640
all the showcases and shit like that.

52
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaking of, obviously, I haven't fucking spoken to you at all since you had the

53
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,320
summer game fest fucking Ubisoft forward, the Xbox showcase, the state of play.

54
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,840
I know we spoke about the state of play.

55
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,560
We can leave that shit show fucking away.

56
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:23,840
Loads of shit, man.

57
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,600
That Xbox showcase was fucking double decent.

58
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,280
I can't remember it.

59
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,880
It hit me with some big hitters.

60
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,680
I can't remember.

61
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,360
See, that's what I mean.

62
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,080
There was that fucking what was it called?

63
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,400
The one with that the art style was really cool with that person riding the big old

64
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,840
catfish through the swamp and there was a fucking alligator and they had to get away.

65
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,840
I can't remember the name of the game.

66
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:48,640
Not Fable, no?

67
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:50,080
No, no, no, it wasn't Fable.

68
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,320
It was a brand new brand new title.

69
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,480
I mean, obviously you saw Fable and a bit of gameplay.

70
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,040
Gears of War.

71
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,680
Fucking what do you call it with Snake?

72
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:00,880
Metal Gear.

73
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,160
Metal Gear Solid.

74
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,520
That ain't Xbox only though.

75
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,320
I know, but fucking popped up still because there was a lot of shit that was popping up

76
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:13,120
where it weren't just Xbox only, but they were like me and Steph noticed they weren't

77
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,920
putting like PlayStation or.

78
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:16,480
They wouldn't.

79
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,440
It's their showcase.

80
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,160
I thought that.

81
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,160
I was like, yeah, you're not going to fucking bother doing that.

82
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:25,360
I saw a lot of on Call of Duty Black Ops 6, which obviously I haven't spoken to you about.

83
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,400
That's when I turn it off.

84
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,960
As soon as Call of Duty is like now it's time for Call of Duty.

85
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,360
I was like, no, you're not interested in it, no?

86
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,560
Well, it's not that I'll probably buy it because I buy every card in every FIFA, but I don't

87
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,920
care about watching it because what is it going to be?

88
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:40,720
I'll tell you what it's going to be.

89
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:41,840
People shooting each other.

90
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:42,720
That's all I need to know.

91
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,720
Oh, look, there's an M16 this time.

92
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,560
There's an M16 with a grenade launcher on it.

93
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,400
What more can you do?

94
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,120
You know what I mean?

95
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,160
I don't really care.

96
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,680
You don't buy it for the campaign.

97
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,040
I play the campaigns, but you don't buy it for the multiplayer.

98
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,400
So can you shoot people?

99
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:56,720
Yes.

100
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:57,120
All right.

101
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:57,920
I'll probably buy it.

102
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,920
309 gigabytes.

103
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:01,200
Probably won't buy it.

104
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,200
That's how big it's apparently meant to be.

105
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,040
309 gigabytes.

106
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,120
Let's just fucking shoot it.

107
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,840
I spoke to Steph, but I had a long, long whinge about it on the podcast, but you're

108
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,760
going to fucking hear another whinge for five seconds.

109
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,760
One of the comments about it was, it's 2024.

110
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,920
Have people not got external hard drives?

111
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:22,480
No.

112
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,840
I should fucking have to have one.

113
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,720
I shouldn't have to have a fucking external hard drive if I want more than one game on

114
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,080
my PlayStation, please.

115
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,280
I don't understand why that's such a hard thing to fucking ask for.

116
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:34,640
No other game is doing that.

117
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:35,280
So no.

118
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:36,640
Fuck them.

119
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:37,760
309 gigs.

120
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,040
Fuck them.

121
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:40,880
I've got the hump.

122
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,240
So this is not going to be pretty.

123
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,200
I'm going to try and be...

124
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,320
I'm going to try and be...

125
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,200
Be optimistic.

126
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,760
How's things going with the Steam Deck?

127
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,360
You know who has bought a Steam Deck?

128
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:51,840
Who?

129
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:52,320
Connor.

130
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:52,800
Has he?

131
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:53,200
He has.

132
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,000
Good lad.

133
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,160
He's in Peak District at the moment.

134
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,120
I don't know if he brought it with him, but he bought the same one that you have,

135
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,880
the OLED with the fucking, with the bigger screen and the blah, blah, blah, blah, blahs.

136
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:09,440
Because he was like, I've been thinking about maybe buying the Steam Deck.

137
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,080
I said, fucking podcast influenced you, didn't it?

138
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,280
He's like, no, of course not.

139
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:14,960
I said, of course it fucking did.

140
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,280
Last five episodes is all he's spoken about.

141
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:19,840
It's so fucking good, man.

142
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:22,720
I don't want to go off on it again, but it really is so good.

143
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,360
It's good, isn't it?

144
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,120
I haven't played it too, too much.

145
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:25,760
No?

146
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,080
No, I've been drawing, haven't I?

147
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:28,480
Yeah.

148
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,120
Yeah.

149
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,960
So that's mainly what I've been doing.

150
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,800
Oh, I drew your boy yesterday, didn't I?

151
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,360
I mean, it's not very good, but it's the best I could do.

152
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,600
Ah, there he is.

153
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,040
Oh, you drew our little Kratos, did you?

154
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:45,600
Kratos, yeah.

155
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,320
Oh, that's cool.

156
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,840
I mean, it's not great, but it's all right.

157
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:48,880
Fat beards.

158
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:49,200
Yeah.

159
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,040
He's very hard to draw.

160
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,240
I couldn't draw his eyes, man, but obviously that's my magnum opus.

161
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,080
Yeah, very cool.

162
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,040
The samurai.

163
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,240
But you know what it looks like?

164
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:00,720
The samurai?

165
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:01,220
Yeah.

166
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:02,960
If you ever seen...

167
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,760
I don't know what the fucking...

168
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:11,920
You ever seen that black and white face normally on a meme or something like that?

169
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,440
I think the fucking Discord normally has a couple of them.

170
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,160
Let me see if I can fucking have a look.

171
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,440
This is terrible for podcast sake.

172
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:23,920
Where is it?

173
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:26,400
I filled a void.

174
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,480
I've been doing a 30-day drawing challenge.

175
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,680
I'm trying to get better at drawing because I used to love drawing when I was little.

176
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:37,360
So I'm trying to improve so I can look back on day one, on day 30, and see the improvement.

177
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,680
I mean, I'm not really seeing much improvement.

178
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,920
It looks all right, but it's a hard, hard thing to grasp.

179
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,680
But I very much respect artists.

180
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,720
I can't find it, but I'll find it eventually, and then I'll show you, and it'll be funny.

181
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,440
Yeah, I'm a terrible, terrible drawer.

182
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,400
Absolutely awful.

183
00:06:54,400 --> 00:07:02,000
I went to Hobbycraft and I bought a couple of pencils, a rubber, pencil sharpener, a couple of pens.

184
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,400
You're very quiet, by the way.

185
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:05,520
50 quid it cost me.

186
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:07,120
50 quid.

187
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:08,560
For some pens?

188
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:14,240
Some pens, some pencils, and a rubber, and a pencil sharpener, and a little fucking book to draw in.

189
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,760
Well, what kind of pencils did you buy?

190
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:16,480
The decent ones?

191
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:17,680
I don't fucking know, bro.

192
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:18,880
I don't look at prices.

193
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,240
I just whack them on and go, yeah, I'll have it.

194
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,360
And if it's too much, I'm too embarrassed to say anything, so I'll just pay it anyway.

195
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:25,920
Just pay it.

196
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:26,400
There you go.

197
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:26,880
Thank you.

198
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,920
Yeah, but yeah, I'm very impressed by other artists.

199
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:38,480
So I would do, does that, because where I went through that long stint of reading graphic novels,

200
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,760
one of the main selling points of a graphic novel is the graphic.

201
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,600
The illustrations are very, very nice to look at.

202
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:53,840
Do you feel like that would give you, with your drawing, a sense of almost understanding?

203
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,440
You go, yeah, this stuff is sick because I know drawing's hard.

204
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:58,880
Yeah, maybe.

205
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,800
I mean, I like art, mainly gaming art.

206
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:09,280
I love going on Twitter and seeing people drawing pictures of Radar and Blad, Blade,

207
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,720
whatever you call the wolf guy.

208
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,040
I mean, there's so many cool artists for Elden Ring.

209
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,240
I was actually inspired by, funnily enough, there's a guy,

210
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:24,720
that had chronicled his first ever Elden Ring playthrough in art form.

211
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,640
And every time he'd done something cool, he drew in this book and painted it.

212
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,880
It was the most magnificent thing I've ever seen.

213
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,640
I've never seen art like it.

214
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,720
And he's so shy and embarrassed by it.

215
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,120
I'm like, this is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

216
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,880
I would buy this if you sold it.

217
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,440
You know what I mean?

218
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:42,400
It's incredible.

219
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,280
And I was like, that art that he's done in that,

220
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,560
if I could be a percent as good as him, I'd be happy.

221
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:53,360
There's something about Elden Ring art and cyberpunk art.

222
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,360
It's just that those were the two main things that we saw at Comic Con,

223
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:03,440
was a lot of Elden Ring prints and paintings and things like that.

224
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,280
And a few cyberpunk things.

225
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:10,640
And there was something about seeing the, like the bold fucking yellows and shit from

226
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,160
cyberpunk that like just instantly draws you to that shit.

227
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,360
Cause like this is so vibrant.

228
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:15,920
I love it.

229
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,840
And then Elden Ring just, it just looks sick all the time, doesn't it?

230
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:20,240
Yeah.

231
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,120
It's very cool.

232
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:26,160
I need to go back to other craft and get some fucking some utensils.

233
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:31,120
I've been using my boy's Lego as a ruler, which isn't ideal.

234
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,360
I need to get one in compasses.

235
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,640
You remember the old compasses?

236
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:34,880
Yeah.

237
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:35,760
Draw a circle.

238
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,200
Cause the circle I drew around my samurai is not a circle.

239
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,120
And I just couldn't be bothered to rub it out.

240
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,520
So yeah, but I'm loving it.

241
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,440
I'm trying to, there's been so many days.

242
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:50,160
I think maybe the samurai one was the day, which is probably my best bit yet.

243
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,760
It's probably the day that I least wanted to draw as well.

244
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,600
I was just like, I've got the amp.

245
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,680
I'm tired and I can't be bothered.

246
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:01,040
And I still did it and I was very happy with the results.

247
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,160
So I'm just trying to hit days.

248
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,640
It's nice for a bit of fucking progression, man.

249
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,760
Cause I feel like that kind of shit, even for your own mental state,

250
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:12,800
that, that innate discipline to even if you're feeling shit,

251
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,600
to do it like, like with me fucking running at the moment,

252
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,200
I'm going to have to run after this podcast.

253
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:17,920
I don't want to.

254
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:22,080
However, I've lost over a stone and I like it.

255
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,880
So I'm going to carry on doing it.

256
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:25,280
It's good.

257
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,360
It's good to, it's good to make yourself or commit to say and see it through.

258
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:29,600
Yeah.

259
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:34,560
Cause too many times myself, I say I'm going to do X, Y and Z and I don't follow through with it.

260
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:38,720
So when you actually say you're going to do say and do it is a great mentality.

261
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,120
Feel like that with fucking games as well, man.

262
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:46,480
Like with playing play tail Requiem at the moment,

263
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,160
like I'm having a lot of fun, but at the same time, I'm like,

264
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,680
I'm probably not even halfway through.

265
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:58,080
However, it's like, I'm like pushing myself to finish it because I know the story is going to be good.

266
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:58,720
That makes sense.

267
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,480
You know, even games where they're, you know, you've got a long not slog,

268
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,120
but you've got a long time playing through trying to hype yourself up to keep pushing on that,

269
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,760
on that game because it's, it's, it's going to be fucking good.

270
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,920
Much like, um, days gone.

271
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,920
How many times are that all God of war multiple times trying to play that red dead?

272
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,120
I know is going to be the next one because I haven't done red dead too.

273
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,760
Don't look at me like that.

274
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:24,720
What have you not?

275
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:25,680
I haven't completed it.

276
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:32,320
No, no, but I've maybe put in maybe something like six hours into red dead too.

277
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:34,880
But I can't even tell you.

278
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,240
And then obviously, especially off the back of Mark currently trying to platinum it.

279
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:44,800
And he's saying it's, it's the best game he's ever played to the point where he's like GTA

280
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,520
six, they need to do something seriously special because this is, this is crazy.

281
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,880
I mean, mechanically, it probably is one of the best, most impressive games ever made.

282
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:53,200
Yeah.

283
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,440
The sheer level of detail in it.

284
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:56,560
Don't get me wrong.

285
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:59,360
A lot of the detail you need to look for to see the detail.

286
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,000
But it is there.

287
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,000
If you think, oh, X, Y, Z and look for it, it will be there.

288
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:04,640
And you know what?

289
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:10,320
One of the one of the most ridiculous things that is the reason that's put me off of playing

290
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:17,040
it and playing it through to the end is the same shit that I ran into with No Man's Sky.

291
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,480
It's the same shit I ran into with Valheim in shrouded.

292
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,440
Any survival type of game is the survival aspect of it.

293
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:32,640
And even something as simple as in Red Dead 2, the keeping your body warm and all that bollocks.

294
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,240
I fucking hate it.

295
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,960
But I know for a fact that after a couple of hours, that shit becomes mundane like in

296
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,640
No Man's Sky where it's not, where it's not even an afterthought because you don't have

297
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:43,520
to worry about it.

298
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,960
I never once in Red Dead 2 done anything like that in the whole time I played it.

299
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,160
I never once, I put on an outfit that I liked and I kept it on the entire game.

300
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,560
I never once thought I'm too hot, too cold.

301
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:57,920
I didn't even, I'll be honest with you, I didn't even know that was a thing.

302
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,320
So that's how little that matters.

303
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,560
Which is ridiculous because that's the main thing that stopped me from fucking playing

304
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:13,520
what is notoriously one of the best games ever made across and that opinion is held

305
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,040
over like 90% of people that fucking game.

306
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,360
Matt, you know Matt, he doesn't play computer games.

307
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,960
He played that till completion.

308
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,480
He doesn't play computer games, ever.

309
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:25,680
So yeah, it's an incredible game.

310
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,160
But yeah, that sort of shit.

311
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:33,360
If you're worried about that, I genuinely didn't even know that existed.

312
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,680
Maybe I should fucking jump onto it, man.

313
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:37,600
And the food and that, that's just literal health.

314
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,280
Like you don't have to keep, I know there's like health meters, but that is just your

315
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,040
health, like how hard your health bar is or something.

316
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:45,840
I don't fucking know.

317
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:51,920
I never once thought of any survival mechanic in it, but I liked, there's something really

318
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:58,480
satisfying about Red Dead and it's hard because I think it divided a lot of players on it

319
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,120
because you either love it or you hate it.

320
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,800
And that's the realism part.

321
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:09,200
And that's what I hope GTA goes with because in Red Dead, my most favorite thing of doing

322
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:14,000
was just like just trotting about and then just setting up a camp because you can camp

323
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:14,640
anywhere.

324
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,440
Set up your little camp and then you can sit by the fire.

325
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:18,960
You can pour yourself a coffee.

326
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,200
You can do a bit of fishing.

327
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,280
But it's the ambiance, the sounds, all the, you've got your headphones when you turn it

328
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,040
up, you can hear all the birds and the rain.

329
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:27,920
It's nice, yeah.

330
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,080
Oh, it's just the, it's the most immersive game I think I've ever played.

331
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,240
I think they should go down that route with GTA 6.

332
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:42,640
We don't, I don't want it to be fuck around-y, but too far to the point where you almost

333
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,440
like Saints Row type stupidness.

334
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,040
I want, I told you, I want them to put fuel in cars, but I think their fear of that

335
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,800
is because it'll piss people off.

336
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,560
But I think you have to.

337
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,600
Well, we come up with a fantastic idea of the fucking real estate thing.

338
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:58,720
We can't rule the great ideas.

339
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,640
I know where you can fucking buy and sell housing, including online and shit like that

340
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,200
and create a market which many, many games have done.

341
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,760
Final Fantasy does that.

342
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,920
We've been able to buy a house and fucking sell it on and shit like that.

343
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,240
Has a whole ecosystem based on it.

344
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,200
I just feel it'd be nice to have some.

345
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,640
I'll tell you what would be nice.

346
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,280
It should just get some fucking information on it, please.

347
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,120
That would be quite handy.

348
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:25,920
Trailer 2.

349
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:32,560
If we had more than one trailer and some fucking information as to what happens in this game

350
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:33,040
at all.

351
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:33,840
Fuck the trailer.

352
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,440
Just show some gameplay, man.

353
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,560
Just give me some ink.

354
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,840
Just give me something.

355
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:43,840
I need to, I need to say as well, all these fucking summer game fest and all these showcases

356
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:49,680
and that, can we please just destroy all trailers and just show gameplay?

357
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,880
I don't care what the cinematics look like, man.

358
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,320
I'm so sick of it.

359
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,640
You're still burnt from fucking Concord.

360
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,360
That was shit for starters.

361
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:00,480
That was rubbish.

362
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,800
But then you're looking at Dragon Age and that and the trailer was fucking...

363
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:05,600
Looks incredible, don't it?

364
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:06,720
People went mental over it.

365
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,000
No, angry.

366
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,640
Angry because the art was like, this ain't Dragon Age.

367
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,520
Then they showed gameplay and it was like, oh yeah, this is Dragon Age.

368
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,640
But the trailer was like, oh, cartoony shit.

369
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:17,760
I liked the trailer.

370
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,280
No, but yeah, you would.

371
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,560
But are you a Dragon Age fan?

372
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:21,680
No.

373
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:22,160
Exactly.

374
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,280
So Dragon Age fan.

375
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,240
I like Dragon Age.

376
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,640
I'm not a hardcore fan boy, but I was like, I ain't fucking Dragon Age.

377
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:29,760
Just show gameplay.

378
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,200
I suppose it'd be like showing a wow trailer in anime style.

379
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,160
That's exactly what it was.

380
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:35,680
I'm going with the same fucking wow as it.

381
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:36,160
Stop it.

382
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:41,120
This is so off the tone of Dragon Age that it was like, it's laughable.

383
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,880
It was like a comedy sketch.

384
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,240
What is this shit?

385
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:45,120
Just show gameplay.

386
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,120
No one gives a fuck about cinematics.

387
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,160
You know what I mean?

388
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,000
Trailers are, you see the Diablo trailer.

389
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:52,560
Yeah, it's mad.

390
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,720
That trailer is fucking...

391
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,200
It's mad.

392
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,840
When me and Steph were watching it, it popped up like Diablo at the beginning.

393
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,640
And I was like, oh fuck it, I'm not interested.

394
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:03,680
Skipped through it.

395
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,680
And I skipped through to the exact point where she's looking full face at the camera,

396
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:08,560
just screaming.

397
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,000
So I was like, skip back, skip back.

398
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:10,480
What's going on?

399
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,480
So all the way back.

400
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,320
But their cinematics are incredible.

401
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:17,920
They are fucking mental.

402
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,880
When her arm splits apart and the fucking tendons and shit.

403
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,480
I think it's different though.

404
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,920
I think when the game's already out and you're doing DLCs and that's different.

405
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:28,640
Everyone knows what's happening.

406
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:29,840
You already know what's happening.

407
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,880
When the game's not out, show us what the fuck we're doing, man.

408
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:38,240
Like you spoke about the other day, the Assassin's Creed gameplay trailer was mad.

409
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,280
I don't need some beefed up cinematic.

410
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,000
Just show me that.

411
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
That trailer was so fucking well.

412
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,200
That gameplay showcase was done so fucking well.

413
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,240
They...

414
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,360
Oh, that looks good.

415
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:52,160
I nearly bought that.

416
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,880
I don't know how many times that collector's edition, man.

417
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,760
I've had to pull myself away from it just solely because I don't know where I'll put it.

418
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:04,080
But I'm obviously, as you know, in the middle of fucking moving house and shit like that.

419
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,680
And the thought run past my mind.

420
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,720
I was like, well, the Elden Ring collector's edition has already been paid for.

421
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,360
No worries.

422
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:16,240
Essentially, I paid for that so long ago that it's now free.

423
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,120
All right.

424
00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:21,600
Whereas the Assassin's Creed shadows is coming from game.

425
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:26,080
So they don't charge you until like seven days before, which is November.

426
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,800
So I was like, I might need that money.

427
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,960
But at the same time, when I saw that fucking gameplay, I was like, hmm.

428
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,320
Like this has put me in some turmoil here.

429
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,480
The only way that I thought about doing it was just to buy it on PayPal

430
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,880
and then just put the money in PayPal.

431
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,880
So when they take the money, it's really in there.

432
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,000
Yeah. So you don't go worry about it.

433
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,320
He's not paying it off, but it's just sitting in there, you know?

434
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,240
But yeah, I'll stop myself just because I haven't got the room for it.

435
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:52,960
Really.

436
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,880
We've all look after it for you.

437
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,200
Old Mesmer turning up or whatever his name is.

438
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,400
Yeah, Mesmer.

439
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:03,440
Yeah, I just don't know where he's going, let alone fucking that other statue.

440
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,720
But I can't I can't wait to delve into Elden Ring again.

441
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:12,320
You know, I really can't just I just wanted to make sure that it was updated and everything.

442
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,560
And literally it was half nine in the evening or something like that.

443
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,960
And because of the time I have to go for work, I'm normally in bed asleep.

444
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,640
I sort of like quarter past half ten.

445
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:23,120
So it's coming up in my bedtime.

446
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:25,520
I was getting ready and the thought just popped in my head.

447
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,440
I was like, what if you haven't killed Moog?

448
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,280
I was like, what if you haven't done it?

449
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,360
Because obviously I know that I've done multiple playthroughs.

450
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:34,080
I was like, what if you're in a playthrough where you just didn't bother doing it?

451
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,800
So I had no had to turn on the PlayStation, fucking have a look,

452
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,560
log in, figure out the fucking buttons again, do some Googling.

453
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,080
Yeah, no, sure enough, I've killed the cunt and the fucking site of grace is there with

454
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,960
the fucking hand dripping out the egg sack thingy.

455
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:47,840
So I'm ready.

456
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,720
I'm ready to delve into that.

457
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:51,760
I can't wait.

458
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,000
Yeah, it's going to be guess I I've been doing a lot of invasions on there

459
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,720
when I have been playing it and I'm getting warped.

460
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,000
No, I used to be able to take on two on one quite regularly.

461
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,520
But now I'm getting and they're all fucking spamming me, you know,

462
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,160
and they come over and they're like doing that with their weapons.

463
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:08,640
Fuck off.

464
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:09,440
You just ganked me.

465
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,040
I couldn't get away.

466
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,120
Um, I got a toilet.

467
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:14,960
Oh, no worries, mate.

468
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,680
Okay, he's been in the toilet and he's back.

469
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:21,440
Oh, fucking hell.

470
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:26,080
Completely lost track again of what we were talking about.

471
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,240
Cinematic trailers now.

472
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,240
Cinematic trailers, how they look visually fucking amazing most of the time,

473
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:39,360
but they they it's like when mobile games like Clash of Clans or some shit

474
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,680
throw out a trailer and it looks absolutely mental.

475
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,920
And then it's just like a two button fucking side scroll a mobile game.

476
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:49,520
Yep.

477
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,800
Like Clash of Clans and then fucking.

478
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:55,840
Is it just Clash of Clans?

479
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:56,480
What's what's the?

480
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,280
Oh, I can't remember what it's called,

481
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,480
but there's one where the trailers and everything look really fucking cool,

482
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,160
but it's just like the most basic cookie cutter game that you could think of.

483
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:08,400
Yeah.

484
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:15,040
Um, I was just looking through Twitter to see what games are talking about

485
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,400
because that will remind me of stuff.

486
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,360
Uh, I don't know if you know Darf Microtransaction is.

487
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:20,640
Who?

488
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,320
Darf Microtransaction.

489
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:22,880
No.

490
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,640
He's a ginger geezer with long hair.

491
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:25,840
You might have seen him on YouTube.

492
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,360
That guy, he's fucking.

493
00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:29,760
I've never seen him in my life.

494
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:30,960
He's from Alaska.

495
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,840
He's big, big Diablo guy.

496
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:34,080
Yeah.

497
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:34,560
Here he is.

498
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:37,600
Big Diablo guy.

499
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:37,840
Yeah.

500
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,080
Anyway, he's, he's currently been playing.

501
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,600
There's a bit of a picture of him.

502
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,040
He's been playing, um, Elden Ring.

503
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:45,360
Yeah.

504
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:46,720
On stream.

505
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:48,880
How's he getting on?

506
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:49,440
I don't know.

507
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,280
But my point is he, he announced he was doing it and he said, uh,

508
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,080
for every, every time he dies,

509
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,360
he gives a $5 sub.

510
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:06,160
He died 109 times on his first day, $545 down the shitter.

511
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,360
But it's genius, genius, genius, genius marketing because he's

512
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:12,560
gifting subs to himself.

513
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:14,160
Do you know what I mean?

514
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,720
So whilst he's gifting subs, but they're subbed to him.

515
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,360
Yeah.

516
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:18,640
It kind of gets the money back.

517
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:19,360
You know what I mean?

518
00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:20,160
So it's very cool.

519
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,280
Plus he's pulling in fucking loads of people to try and get some fucking subs.

520
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,080
Exactly.

521
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,480
Exactly. But my reason for saying that he's just tweeted Elden Ring might

522
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,000
be the best game I've ever played.

523
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,600
And I do not say that lightly.

524
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:32,320
Of course it is.

525
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:34,960
Elden Ring's fucking fantastic.

526
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:35,760
Yeah.

527
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,920
It's, it's, uh, it's very good.

528
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:45,280
And I am very excited to, to go into unknown territory in the, in the DLC

529
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:50,160
and just have that initial thing where you just, because I haven't really explored.

530
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,440
There's a lot of places in Elden Ring.

531
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:52,880
So I've only done one playthrough.

532
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,280
There's a lot of places that I never really looked through.

533
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,040
Mainly I'd say that tree where Milena was, I ran through that.

534
00:22:59,040 --> 00:22:59,280
Uh huh.

535
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:00,400
I didn't want none of that smoke.

536
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,760
I didn't really explore, you know, the place with the dragons when it was whirling around.

537
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,200
I didn't really explore that because that got fucking well hard.

538
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,600
Then that Godskin duo pissed me off so much.

539
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,200
I just had enough of that place.

540
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,080
I was fucking proper worried about the Godskin duo.

541
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,480
And then when I come across them, fucking one tapped them.

542
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,080
I can't wait till you see the Mimic tier not being as powerful as it once was.

543
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,120
You ain't finishing this DLC, but I'm telling you now.

544
00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:25,760
I am.

545
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:26,240
I am.

546
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,640
And, um, who else didn't?

547
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,240
The, the snowy area.

548
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,760
Didn't really explore that too, too much.

549
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:32,960
Yeah. I didn't really fuck around.

550
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,800
Only because when the blizzards kicked in, you couldn't see shit.

551
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,080
Didn't know where the fuck, and then you had those invisible fucking, um,

552
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,040
things that would fuck you up.

553
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,160
I remember, I remember going across some ice and then a dragon just up here.

554
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,160
I was like, no, no, not interested.

555
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:53,120
Um, and there was, uh, and the, and the mountains of that were all the giants.

556
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:54,800
Well, I didn't explore that much either.

557
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,120
There's a lot of places I never really explored.

558
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:02,240
Uh, and then where I am at the moment, uh, bowling around that, yeah,

559
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,040
Nockron city, you know, where all the minotaurs were.

560
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:05,280
Yeah.

561
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,240
And then it was like the Elks, the dead fucking deers.

562
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,440
Underground bit, wasn't it?

563
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:09,600
Yeah.

564
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,640
There's like dead deers and you can like fight the spirits of them.

565
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:17,440
So it's all very weird and I don't know what's going on, but I just like exploring places.

566
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:23,360
And, um, yeah, so I'm looking forward to a completely fresh place, uh, where there's

567
00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:27,200
new weapons and new stuff to find and yeah, it's going to be great.

568
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,320
Plus we've already paid for it.

569
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,240
So we have already paid for it.

570
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,520
It's free at this point.

571
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:37,760
It's just, it's just so, it's so scary and lonely when you're in the thick of it.

572
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,440
A lot of people have played it.

573
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:46,400
Um, so I've seen a lot of YouTube videos of the popular, uh, Elden Ring and Dark Souls,

574
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:51,680
uh, players that I've watched over the years say what their thoughts are, but I, I, I'm

575
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,560
too scared to like watch it because I don't want any spoilers.

576
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:55,120
Yeah.

577
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:58,880
So I've, I've clicked on them multiple times and then just turn them off really quickly.

578
00:24:58,880 --> 00:24:59,120
Yeah.

579
00:24:59,120 --> 00:24:59,680
Because I'm scared.

580
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:07,200
Uh, there was a World of Warcraft announcement on one of these showcases and, uh, I really

581
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,760
got excited because I thought they were going to announce PlayStation.

582
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:16,320
I've re on the Xbox showcase when it popped up because I, I got very, very

583
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:16,880
hyped.

584
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:24,880
I like, I had, I had fucking goosebumps, um, because they showed the vanilla trailer at

585
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,960
the beginning and I looked at Steph.

586
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,160
I said, what the fuck is this?

587
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:28,960
I was like, what is this?

588
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,640
I said, I said, there's no way they're about to announce that's coming to Xbox.

589
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:33,760
There's no fucking way.

590
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,280
And then the Burning Crusade trailer rolled in and then the fucking role for the Lich King,

591
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,760
Mr. Pandaria and so on and so on and so on.

592
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:45,120
Um, and then, yeah, it was just, as it kept going, once it hit like the sort of Shadow

593
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:48,320
Lands, it like trailers with Sylvanas and stuff like that.

594
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:52,320
I was like, no, this is the fucking Dragon Soul saga guaranteed.

595
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,800
And then, yeah, sure enough, it was just fucking hyping up for the war within and then the

596
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,800
Dragon Soul saga after it and shit like that, which was still cool.

597
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,960
But I was, I was like a bit annoyed after it because I was like, fuck, I thought that

598
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,000
was going to be something.

599
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000
I was like, why are you showing that?

600
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:08,960
Why?

601
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,160
We don't need to see that everyone.

602
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,960
Everyone who's playing World of Warcraft knows there's an expansion coming out.

603
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:13,840
Don't worry about that.

604
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:14,800
We didn't need to see that.

605
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,400
I, I do think it will come eventually though.

606
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,200
It will.

607
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:19,840
Of course it will.

608
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:20,480
Of course it will.

609
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:30,080
They are, they are working very, very hard at the moment to make the game far more accessible

610
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,760
for brand new players.

611
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,680
And they're throwing in a lot of new stuff.

612
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:42,560
And not only are they trying to make it a lot better for new players, they're also aware

613
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,960
of how shit it is for new players at the moment, which I feel like is like the first step in

614
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,760
recognizing your problems is accepting them and fucking speaking on them.

615
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:57,840
And it's, it's exciting to see what they're going, going to do.

616
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,440
The war within looks fucking incredible and all the shit that they're doing and the hero

617
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,280
talents and blah, blah, blah, blah.

618
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,440
Everyone's got fucking better access except for me.

619
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:11,040
But yeah, it's, it's shaping up to be something, something really good at the moment.

620
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:16,960
We're in a bit of a low state because you've got coming out in August 28th, I think or

621
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,040
28th or 26th of August, something like that.

622
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:25,280
And so the between now and then nothing's really important.

623
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,400
That makes sense because you know that in a couple of months time, every, all your hard

624
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,240
work and everything that you're currently doing, you're going to be able to do it.

625
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,920
And everything you're currently doing is going to be made redundant.

626
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:42,240
So now seems to be the time to sort of just like level up different characters and fuck

627
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,480
around, which is pretty much what I'm doing.

628
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:50,240
Because I was saying to myself, I was like, not even going to bother playing it that much

629
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,440
and just play other games.

630
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,360
But the addiction kicks in and I'm like, no, I need to just need to log in just to see

631
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:56,400
some stuff.

632
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:02,720
Have you seen all the stuff about Destiny, Destiny 2?

633
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:09,440
Yeah, I've seen bits and bits and bits and bits because it's the end of the fucking.

634
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:14,080
I saw the cinematic for the ending.

635
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:15,920
Very, very cool.

636
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:22,400
But haven't they like announced another expansion basically?

637
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:24,720
Yeah, well, kind of.

638
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,000
I didn't see that, but they announced like the future.

639
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,800
Yeah, like a new a new foe or some shit like that.

640
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,520
It's made me sad because everyone's saying it's like the best thing Destiny's ever done.

641
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:40,560
Destiny 1, Destiny 2.

642
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,120
And what they did was really cool, actually.

643
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:50,160
So obviously they had the raid and the raids in Destiny are like nothing like any other

644
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,120
raids in any other game.

645
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:58,000
But I find them far too complex for my trivia because the community is far too toxic to

646
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,160
new players trying to learn to facilitate.

647
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,800
And also people use such fucking technical jargon that people don't understand.

648
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,000
It was like, have you got this on?

649
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:06,880
Have you got that weapon?

650
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:07,760
Have you got this?

651
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,000
You know, I have to go back to the vault and you have to.

652
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,760
It's just too much fucking about.

653
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:17,680
I'd rather it be like the raids in World of Warcraft and fucking any other MMO.

654
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,200
Just fairly straightforward.

655
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:19,700
Yeah.

656
00:29:19,700 --> 00:29:20,980
But we've like.

657
00:29:20,980 --> 00:29:23,060
Move here and don't stand in this shit and attack.

658
00:29:23,060 --> 00:29:23,700
Yeah, yeah.

659
00:29:23,700 --> 00:29:26,580
Hard enough, but I don't need all these fucking jumping puzzles and crap.

660
00:29:27,140 --> 00:29:29,860
Nevertheless, a raid was done.

661
00:29:30,500 --> 00:29:36,260
It took the longest time any raids ever took in Destiny 1 or Destiny 2 in terms of like

662
00:29:36,260 --> 00:29:37,380
first clears.

663
00:29:37,380 --> 00:29:39,300
So they have the world first race.

664
00:29:39,300 --> 00:29:41,220
So everyone, all the streamers were racing.

665
00:29:41,220 --> 00:29:48,980
And then people were in uproar because people were like figuring out the mechanics of each

666
00:29:50,020 --> 00:29:50,980
encounter.

667
00:29:50,980 --> 00:29:56,740
And then they was turning their screen off of the game and just letting themselves be seen.

668
00:29:56,740 --> 00:30:01,540
Also turning the audio off of their voices so they can't hear.

669
00:30:01,540 --> 00:30:03,940
So other streamers can't find out what they're doing.

670
00:30:03,940 --> 00:30:04,440
Yeah.

671
00:30:04,740 --> 00:30:06,180
So that was happening.

672
00:30:06,180 --> 00:30:09,860
And then at the end, like, I don't know how long it took 15, 16 hours.

673
00:30:09,860 --> 00:30:13,620
People were fucked by their eyes were like, oh, it's crazy.

674
00:30:13,620 --> 00:30:19,700
But at the end of it, when the first clear happened and Destiny announced the world's

675
00:30:19,700 --> 00:30:21,060
first clear has been done.

676
00:30:21,060 --> 00:30:27,460
As soon as that happened, it unlocked a final stand mission for all players in the world

677
00:30:27,460 --> 00:30:28,340
for Destiny.

678
00:30:28,340 --> 00:30:29,540
You could queue for it.

679
00:30:29,540 --> 00:30:33,460
And it was essentially the witnesses, the big bad, the witness.

680
00:30:33,460 --> 00:30:38,180
However, I haven't seen it, but the witness at the end of the raid escapes.

681
00:30:38,180 --> 00:30:43,220
And then the final stand is available for all players because the first clear happened.

682
00:30:43,220 --> 00:30:46,500
The witnesses ran away and then everyone got the opportunity.

683
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:48,740
But they had to wait for that for it to be unlocked.

684
00:30:48,740 --> 00:30:49,860
Very fucking cool.

685
00:30:49,860 --> 00:30:53,860
And it was a big community base and I was watching it all on Twitter unfold and people

686
00:30:53,860 --> 00:30:54,900
were so gassed and that.

687
00:30:54,900 --> 00:30:57,780
And I feel devastated that I was not part of that.

688
00:30:57,780 --> 00:30:58,980
I've missed it entirely.

689
00:30:58,980 --> 00:30:59,480
Yeah.

690
00:30:59,540 --> 00:31:03,380
You know where Elden Ring was like a cultural thing at one point.

691
00:31:03,380 --> 00:31:07,620
There, if you weren't in that fucking loop or what loop you fucking missed out on.

692
00:31:07,620 --> 00:31:08,260
Exactly.

693
00:31:08,260 --> 00:31:12,820
So where I've missed out on that myself, I don't feel like it will have the same impact

694
00:31:12,820 --> 00:31:15,380
because I say these things are being unlocked as people were doing it.

695
00:31:15,380 --> 00:31:15,940
Yeah.

696
00:31:15,940 --> 00:31:17,380
And people were getting all gassed and that.

697
00:31:17,380 --> 00:31:22,420
And I feel like of all the years I've put into Destiny to have missed that solely really

698
00:31:22,420 --> 00:31:27,220
down to their own fault, really the way they've been is a bit devastating.

699
00:31:27,220 --> 00:31:29,700
And I feel that's the only bit of Destiny I don't own.

700
00:31:29,700 --> 00:31:31,060
And I don't think I ever will now.

701
00:31:31,060 --> 00:31:35,700
Because everyone said that it's like the best expansion that they've ever done.

702
00:31:35,700 --> 00:31:43,460
The storytelling and everything in this expansion is meant to be top tier, which you would expect

703
00:31:43,460 --> 00:31:44,580
because it's the penultimate.

704
00:31:45,620 --> 00:31:48,820
This is the magnum opus of everything.

705
00:31:48,820 --> 00:31:50,980
This is the finisher.

706
00:31:51,620 --> 00:31:54,980
So you would need to fucking hit it right.

707
00:31:54,980 --> 00:32:05,060
I know a fair amount of what goes down in like the final moments because my TikTok was

708
00:32:05,060 --> 00:32:05,940
just fucking flooded with it.

709
00:32:08,260 --> 00:32:10,740
But I can understand you on that one.

710
00:32:10,740 --> 00:32:15,700
That's an experience that you're not going to get the same anywhere else.

711
00:32:16,900 --> 00:32:20,900
Especially after all the money and time and hours I've spent on that fucking game

712
00:32:21,540 --> 00:32:26,340
and investment into each expansion to then miss essentially the best one.

713
00:32:26,340 --> 00:32:30,820
I also think it's weird though where you build it up saying like this is it, this is the end.

714
00:32:30,820 --> 00:32:35,140
This is with 10 years have led to this and we're finishing it.

715
00:32:35,140 --> 00:32:38,340
And then when it finishes straight away, you announce that here's the next bit.

716
00:32:39,700 --> 00:32:43,300
They always said that this was the end of the light and dark saga.

717
00:32:43,300 --> 00:32:44,820
So there was always going to be more.

718
00:32:45,380 --> 00:32:48,660
But in what shape that's going to take, I don't know.

719
00:32:48,660 --> 00:32:52,740
Because it's going to be a tough sell now and it to be like, right, that's X amount

720
00:32:52,740 --> 00:32:53,780
of years done.

721
00:32:53,780 --> 00:32:56,260
Let's start a new storyline right at the beginning.

722
00:32:56,260 --> 00:33:00,740
And you know it's going to be fucking God knows how many years till that's it's conclusion.

723
00:33:00,740 --> 00:33:06,580
I'm so out of the loop with Destiny Lore and the DLCs and the timeline.

724
00:33:06,580 --> 00:33:10,580
Like last time I played was with you for like five minutes and the fucking,

725
00:33:11,940 --> 00:33:12,980
is it not the Cabal?

726
00:33:12,980 --> 00:33:17,300
Who's the other people that are now your friends, but were originally your fucking enemies?

727
00:33:18,100 --> 00:33:19,380
Yeah, yeah, it is the Cabal.

728
00:33:19,380 --> 00:33:20,100
Is it the Cabal?

729
00:33:20,100 --> 00:33:23,940
Yeah, they're your fucking allies that are like, some of them are,

730
00:33:23,940 --> 00:33:24,740
you can interact with.

731
00:33:24,740 --> 00:33:26,660
And I'm like, what the fuck is this?

732
00:33:26,660 --> 00:33:28,260
Like, I don't understand any of this.

733
00:33:28,820 --> 00:33:33,780
Wherever that was, everything that's happened in between then and now, I've got no idea.

734
00:33:33,780 --> 00:33:36,820
The initial Destiny 2 base game was fighting the Cabal.

735
00:33:36,820 --> 00:33:39,620
It was the main villain was a Cabal leader.

736
00:33:40,260 --> 00:33:42,260
This makes me want to play it so bad.

737
00:33:42,260 --> 00:33:45,620
But yeah, like I say, I'm sad, man, because I missed the boat and I feel like,

738
00:33:46,420 --> 00:33:51,540
and the raids, man, I've only ever completed like two, three raids because they're so,

739
00:33:51,540 --> 00:33:55,940
they're hard to commit to, like that period of time for me to have to commit to something.

740
00:33:55,940 --> 00:33:57,060
I've got to learn it.

741
00:33:57,060 --> 00:34:02,660
I've got to learn it with, I have to get lucky and five like-minded,

742
00:34:02,660 --> 00:34:04,500
cool individuals that ain't twats.

743
00:34:04,500 --> 00:34:06,500
Because there's always one in there going, I'm fucking out.

744
00:34:06,500 --> 00:34:07,700
I'll just do it on my own.

745
00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:13,140
And it's just like, it's all like, it always comes down to two people need to do this.

746
00:34:13,140 --> 00:34:14,740
One person needs to do that.

747
00:34:14,740 --> 00:34:19,700
And whatever group you're put in, if you fuck it up, everyone knows it was you that fucked it up.

748
00:34:19,700 --> 00:34:22,900
It's such a small group to work with where something like, wow,

749
00:34:22,900 --> 00:34:25,380
where you can go up to like 20 odd people.

750
00:34:25,380 --> 00:34:27,940
What it takes is for you to shoot the wrong symbol or something.

751
00:34:27,940 --> 00:34:28,740
And then you fucked it.

752
00:34:28,740 --> 00:34:29,380
And you fucked it.

753
00:34:29,380 --> 00:34:34,180
And everyone's like, oh, you fucking, you shot the moon instead of the star.

754
00:34:34,180 --> 00:34:35,140
I'm like, I'm sorry.

755
00:34:35,140 --> 00:34:37,140
And then you have to start the whole encounter again.

756
00:34:37,140 --> 00:34:38,900
And it's stressful.

757
00:34:38,900 --> 00:34:41,060
I don't need stress while playing my games, man.

758
00:34:41,060 --> 00:34:47,380
I feel like how you feel with Destiny 2 and where you don't play it at all.

759
00:34:47,380 --> 00:34:50,180
And then you fucking, you start looking into it again and seeing things.

760
00:34:50,180 --> 00:34:53,540
You start getting hyped up and go, oh, fucking maybe I'll jump back into it.

761
00:34:53,540 --> 00:34:54,820
And then you do jump back into it.

762
00:34:54,820 --> 00:34:56,500
And then you realize why you jumped out of it.

763
00:34:57,220 --> 00:35:00,420
I feel like my version of that is something like The Division 2,

764
00:35:01,380 --> 00:35:03,860
where I love that game so much.

765
00:35:03,860 --> 00:35:06,900
But at the same time, there's a reason why you stop playing it.

766
00:35:06,900 --> 00:35:13,060
And then you leave such a large gap of not playing where you almost forget those reasons.

767
00:35:13,060 --> 00:35:17,300
And then they almost immediately fucking come flooding back the minute you jump back in.

768
00:35:17,300 --> 00:35:19,300
Because you go one bit of bullshit.

769
00:35:19,300 --> 00:35:21,380
And then you go, yep, this is fucking why I stopped playing it.

770
00:35:21,380 --> 00:35:21,860
See you later.

771
00:35:21,860 --> 00:35:22,580
I've had enough.

772
00:35:22,580 --> 00:35:25,380
Because The Division fucking loved it.

773
00:35:25,380 --> 00:35:26,820
The Division 2, I really liked it.

774
00:35:26,820 --> 00:35:29,780
I'm glad that The Division 3 is in development.

775
00:35:29,780 --> 00:35:36,420
But God, I wish Division 2 was still relevant to the point where you're going on Reddit,

776
00:35:36,420 --> 00:35:37,540
searching that.

777
00:35:37,540 --> 00:35:39,940
Is Division 2 worth playing in 2024?

778
00:35:39,940 --> 00:35:44,340
It's like just in the hopes that loads of people are like, yeah, it's fucking sick.

779
00:35:44,340 --> 00:35:45,860
And then you don't see that.

780
00:35:47,140 --> 00:35:48,020
You don't see any of that.

781
00:35:48,020 --> 00:35:49,380
And you go, oh, come on.

782
00:35:50,580 --> 00:35:52,500
Yeah, it makes me sad, man.

783
00:35:52,500 --> 00:35:53,540
It does make me sad.

784
00:35:53,540 --> 00:35:56,980
I also see, this is another thing I don't understand.

785
00:35:56,980 --> 00:36:01,860
Like we watched AC Shadows, the gameplay trailer.

786
00:36:01,860 --> 00:36:03,140
And we're both texting each other.

787
00:36:03,140 --> 00:36:05,700
Just so I'm like, fucking hell, this is what we wanted.

788
00:36:05,700 --> 00:36:06,340
This is gas.

789
00:36:06,340 --> 00:36:07,220
Well, all right.

790
00:36:07,220 --> 00:36:12,260
So then tell me why I then go on Twitter and everyone's like, that looks fucking shit.

791
00:36:12,260 --> 00:36:13,940
Classic Ubisoft slop.

792
00:36:14,580 --> 00:36:17,780
I'm just like, have we just watched the same shit?

793
00:36:17,780 --> 00:36:18,340
That seems-

794
00:36:18,340 --> 00:36:20,660
Remember, don't pre-order anything.

795
00:36:20,660 --> 00:36:21,460
Which is fine.

796
00:36:21,460 --> 00:36:25,380
But you cannot say that seems like same Ubisoft slop.

797
00:36:25,380 --> 00:36:29,140
That couldn't be further apart from anything Ubisoft I've seen in years.

798
00:36:29,140 --> 00:36:34,100
That was possibly the best thing I've ever seen Ubisoft come out with.

799
00:36:34,100 --> 00:36:34,900
It was mad.

800
00:36:34,900 --> 00:36:35,860
It was mental.

801
00:36:35,860 --> 00:36:37,220
It was absolutely mental.

802
00:36:37,220 --> 00:36:42,260
People were saying the combat looked like AC Origins and I was like, are you fucking divvy?

803
00:36:42,260 --> 00:36:45,140
It looks nothing like any Assassin's Creed combat I've ever seen.

804
00:36:45,140 --> 00:36:51,620
Like I said to Steph, I see the health bar and immediately thought this is going to be shit.

805
00:36:51,620 --> 00:36:57,060
Because for some reason, me, health bars and Assassin's Creed, the three of us don't mix.

806
00:36:57,060 --> 00:36:58,900
I don't like seeing them in Assassin's Creed.

807
00:36:58,900 --> 00:37:01,060
I thought this is going to be- and that was my thought.

808
00:37:01,060 --> 00:37:03,780
I was like, this is going to be some Origins Odyssey Valhalla bullshit.

809
00:37:03,780 --> 00:37:05,700
Because you're expecting bullet sponges.

810
00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:06,580
Exactly.

811
00:37:06,580 --> 00:37:10,900
But once the combat fucking ensues, oh my god.

812
00:37:11,700 --> 00:37:13,540
Fucking incredible.

813
00:37:13,540 --> 00:37:16,580
And you know what one of the things that popped into my head was,

814
00:37:17,380 --> 00:37:22,180
I remember you with Valhalla saying that you found the combat ridiculous

815
00:37:22,180 --> 00:37:24,580
because you're going against some of these hulking huge people

816
00:37:24,580 --> 00:37:26,260
and you're able to just fling them around or whatever.

817
00:37:26,260 --> 00:37:30,100
Or you're hitting people and they're fucking bouncing off the ground and shit like that.

818
00:37:30,100 --> 00:37:35,700
When Yasuki started hitting people with his cudgel and things like that,

819
00:37:35,700 --> 00:37:37,700
and there's blood splatter and everything and all that shit,

820
00:37:38,180 --> 00:37:43,140
my thought was, is it going to be too much bouncing around and shit?

821
00:37:43,140 --> 00:37:48,660
And I felt like from what I saw, it was that almost perfect middle ground of,

822
00:37:48,660 --> 00:37:52,580
yes, I'm hitting someone with a fucking massive mace.

823
00:37:53,140 --> 00:37:56,340
There should be a bit of bounce to their head hitting the fucking floor.

824
00:37:56,340 --> 00:37:57,700
But there weren't too much.

825
00:37:57,700 --> 00:37:59,060
There's a perfect amount.

826
00:37:59,060 --> 00:38:04,340
It was visceral, one on one brutal combat, which is what this is my favourite kind of combat.

827
00:38:04,340 --> 00:38:07,940
I know it's not for everyone, people just swaling on people and that.

828
00:38:07,940 --> 00:38:13,140
But I like more waiting for them to attack and parrying and all that sort of stuff and blocking.

829
00:38:13,140 --> 00:38:16,100
Like, it goes to Tsushima, it's very intimate one on one.

830
00:38:16,100 --> 00:38:20,340
I mean, if you get caught with three, four people around you, you might be in trouble.

831
00:38:20,340 --> 00:38:22,340
And that's how I like it because it's more realistic.

832
00:38:22,340 --> 00:38:25,700
In Valhalla, you just, I'll hit you and then I'll hit you and then I'll hit you.

833
00:38:25,700 --> 00:38:28,980
Then you're fucking, no way, fucking spinny thing.

834
00:38:28,980 --> 00:38:31,300
And then she's cutting the bamboo because the fucking,

835
00:38:32,740 --> 00:38:36,660
there's a bit of realism in the fucking environment that you're in and shit like that.

836
00:38:36,660 --> 00:38:41,620
She's, when she fucking, when she went prone and then is prone in through the water,

837
00:38:41,620 --> 00:38:44,900
the first thing I said to Stefan, it was almost comical, was I went,

838
00:38:44,900 --> 00:38:46,340
well, that's not fucking realistic.

839
00:38:46,340 --> 00:38:49,460
And literally as the sentence left my mouth, there comes the fucking straw.

840
00:38:49,460 --> 00:38:52,100
There goes the bamboo straw so she can fucking breathe.

841
00:38:52,100 --> 00:38:54,260
I was like, oh my God, perfect.

842
00:38:54,260 --> 00:38:56,740
I was like, that makes perfect fucking sense.

843
00:38:56,740 --> 00:38:59,540
And then, and then she's, she's knocking out the lantern.

844
00:38:59,540 --> 00:39:02,980
So there's fucking an obscured vision because now it's a little bit darker.

845
00:39:02,980 --> 00:39:06,580
So she's able to get closer to the enemy and then fucking assassinate him.

846
00:39:06,580 --> 00:39:07,300
Oh my God.

847
00:39:07,860 --> 00:39:14,500
It just, it, it looks so clean and fluid.

848
00:39:14,500 --> 00:39:20,260
And that is exactly, that is exactly what I wanted from Assassin's Creed Shadows.

849
00:39:20,260 --> 00:39:25,060
It, for me, it's shaping up to be possibly a game of the year for me,

850
00:39:25,060 --> 00:39:27,780
which I joked around with Steph, because it was like, every time we see something like this,

851
00:39:27,780 --> 00:39:29,780
we always sit there and go, it's good we go over the year.

852
00:39:29,780 --> 00:39:38,500
But genuinely that if what I saw is maintained throughout the game, mental, absolutely mental.

853
00:39:38,500 --> 00:39:42,180
If it, if it's, yeah, if it stays like that and it is,

854
00:39:42,180 --> 00:39:47,380
that's a realistic representation of a mission, then it's perfect.

855
00:39:47,380 --> 00:39:53,140
It's perfect because what they need that they need to define balance of the open world, ra ra.

856
00:39:53,140 --> 00:39:56,100
But they also need them, them crafted missions.

857
00:39:56,100 --> 00:40:00,500
So like where obviously you can choose which way you want to go in with who that's fine.

858
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:04,500
But then it's still, it seems like it's like a linear environment, right?

859
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:10,500
As opposed to here's this target in this compound in the open world, go and attack it,

860
00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:12,020
which is cool in its own right.

861
00:40:12,020 --> 00:40:16,340
When you craft it the way it seems to have been where it's a streamlined,

862
00:40:16,340 --> 00:40:19,060
it's a streamlined mission in the open world.

863
00:40:19,060 --> 00:40:19,540
Yeah.

864
00:40:19,540 --> 00:40:20,740
I'm presuming this open world.

865
00:40:21,940 --> 00:40:27,460
Then that is more finely tuned and crafted for each character in which way you want to approach it.

866
00:40:27,460 --> 00:40:30,100
So then it has more room for opportunity.

867
00:40:30,100 --> 00:40:33,940
Like Steph said, when that geezer is about to walk in and she jumps up there.

868
00:40:33,940 --> 00:40:37,700
I mean, yeah, it's this cinema is unrealistic, but it's cool as fuck.

869
00:40:37,700 --> 00:40:38,660
It's cool as fuck.

870
00:40:38,660 --> 00:40:42,740
And it is like, it's how you would expect them to react in a film.

871
00:40:42,740 --> 00:40:48,020
Well, it's unrealistic in a point of how quickly she was able to get up there,

872
00:40:48,020 --> 00:40:52,820
but it's not unrealistic in the actual action of hiding up there.

873
00:40:52,820 --> 00:40:54,020
I don't know if that makes sense.

874
00:40:54,020 --> 00:40:58,340
Yeah. That kind of shit probably could happen, but the actual act of fucking

875
00:40:58,340 --> 00:41:01,380
quickly zipping up there is, but you're playing a game at the end of the day.

876
00:41:01,380 --> 00:41:01,940
Yeah, exactly.

877
00:41:01,940 --> 00:41:09,940
Um, but it, it, it just didn't, I don't know where all the hatred is being aimed towards.

878
00:41:09,940 --> 00:41:11,300
I don't really understand it.

879
00:41:11,300 --> 00:41:14,660
Like you say, I don't know if we was all watching the same fucking gameplay.

880
00:41:14,660 --> 00:41:19,380
We definitely wasn't because as I say, people were saying it looked like the same old shit.

881
00:41:19,380 --> 00:41:24,340
And I, not one part of that made me think this looks like this even looks like Ubisoft.

882
00:41:24,340 --> 00:41:27,860
This looks like fucking Ghost of Shima, which isn't a bad thing.

883
00:41:27,860 --> 00:41:28,260
No.

884
00:41:28,260 --> 00:41:30,820
It's setting, it's setting a Japanese environment.

885
00:41:30,820 --> 00:41:32,900
Of course it's going to look similar to Ghost of Shima.

886
00:41:32,900 --> 00:41:33,700
There's going to be a comparison.

887
00:41:33,700 --> 00:41:36,260
People are pulling them up on the most stupidest shit.

888
00:41:36,260 --> 00:41:41,460
People getting so angry about, well, well, it's not accurate because they've got fucking,

889
00:41:41,460 --> 00:41:43,700
they've got these cherry blossoms growing in the winter.

890
00:41:43,700 --> 00:41:45,380
And I'm just like, Oh my Christ.

891
00:41:45,380 --> 00:41:45,860
Yeah.

892
00:41:45,860 --> 00:41:47,300
You know, one, this a work in progress.

893
00:41:47,300 --> 00:41:47,940
Get over it.

894
00:41:47,940 --> 00:41:48,180
Yeah.

895
00:41:48,180 --> 00:41:50,020
Two, calm yourself down.

896
00:41:50,020 --> 00:41:50,980
Do you know what I mean?

897
00:41:50,980 --> 00:41:52,580
Calm yourself down.

898
00:41:52,580 --> 00:41:55,460
I was equally upset about Star Wars Outlaws.

899
00:41:56,740 --> 00:42:00,900
Uh, because whilst I loved every second of the training, it looked fantastic.

900
00:42:00,900 --> 00:42:04,020
All the YouTube videos started coming out after it saying.

901
00:42:04,020 --> 00:42:07,300
They've played it and don't get too gassed.

902
00:42:07,300 --> 00:42:07,700
Oh really?

903
00:42:07,700 --> 00:42:08,580
I don't like it.

904
00:42:08,580 --> 00:42:12,900
They're saying like, like all the little stealth sequences and that they're very like,

905
00:42:14,340 --> 00:42:17,140
don't get spotted or it's game over kind of thing.

906
00:42:17,140 --> 00:42:23,700
It's not like an option and it was all very, it doesn't, it's more linear than it's proclaiming

907
00:42:23,700 --> 00:42:24,980
to be and all this shit.

908
00:42:24,980 --> 00:42:29,380
But once again, take it with a pinch of salt, but when a lot of people are saying the same

909
00:42:29,380 --> 00:42:32,340
shit, it's a bit, it's a bit worrisome, especially when, you know,

910
00:42:32,340 --> 00:42:35,700
me and Star Wars, come on, give me a break, man.

911
00:42:36,180 --> 00:42:36,820
Give me a break.

912
00:42:36,820 --> 00:42:38,100
Give me a good Star Wars game.

913
00:42:38,100 --> 00:42:42,180
They're, they're, they're toying with a very, a very sensitive fan base.

914
00:42:42,180 --> 00:42:43,220
And that I am.

915
00:42:43,220 --> 00:42:52,180
I feel like, I feel like Star Wars fans are very, um, nerdy.

916
00:42:52,180 --> 00:42:52,980
Oh, massive.

917
00:42:52,980 --> 00:42:54,980
We're starved as well.

918
00:42:54,980 --> 00:42:57,700
Much like yourself and Lord of the Rings, we're starved, man.

919
00:42:57,700 --> 00:42:58,340
Yeah.

920
00:42:58,340 --> 00:43:03,060
I saw a little fucking, um, steal from riders of the riders of Rohirrim.

921
00:43:03,060 --> 00:43:06,580
Um, and that looks very fucking cool.

922
00:43:06,580 --> 00:43:12,580
And Peter Jackson is now, um, helping to direct that as well.

923
00:43:12,580 --> 00:43:13,380
Very cool.

924
00:43:13,380 --> 00:43:14,900
He's now involved with that.

925
00:43:14,900 --> 00:43:19,780
Um, so that looks, that looks more increasingly entertaining.

926
00:43:19,780 --> 00:43:25,300
Um, so we're, we're, we're eating good by the looks of it, man.

927
00:43:25,300 --> 00:43:28,500
We're doing decent, got Elden Ring fucking this month.

928
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:30,340
Next month, it doesn't fucking matter.

929
00:43:30,340 --> 00:43:33,220
And the month after that, it doesn't matter because we've got Elden Ring this month.

930
00:43:33,220 --> 00:43:33,860
Yeah.

931
00:43:33,860 --> 00:43:35,380
That's as simple as that.

932
00:43:35,380 --> 00:43:40,580
It will do the exact same bullshit that it did when it come out and it will just flood

933
00:43:40,580 --> 00:43:41,860
the rest of the year.

934
00:43:41,860 --> 00:43:42,980
That's fine with me.

935
00:43:42,980 --> 00:43:44,420
Simple as that.

936
00:43:44,420 --> 00:43:46,580
Here comes the fucking TikTok edits.

937
00:43:46,580 --> 00:43:47,940
Here comes all the clips.

938
00:43:47,940 --> 00:43:49,620
Here comes all the broken tellies.

939
00:43:49,620 --> 00:43:51,540
This is exactly what will happen.

940
00:43:51,540 --> 00:43:53,220
Everyone will be fucking gassed.

941
00:43:53,220 --> 00:43:56,900
And the DLC will release flawlessly.

942
00:43:56,900 --> 00:43:58,740
It will be incredible.

943
00:43:58,740 --> 00:44:03,380
And then you'll get an absolute fucking burst of people going, this is how DLC is supposed

944
00:44:03,380 --> 00:44:04,420
to be done.

945
00:44:04,420 --> 00:44:05,620
Which will be true.

946
00:44:05,620 --> 00:44:06,340
Yeah.

947
00:44:06,340 --> 00:44:07,460
100%.

948
00:44:07,460 --> 00:44:10,020
And it will be my first ever FromSoftware DLC.

949
00:44:10,020 --> 00:44:11,700
I'm jealous for you.

950
00:44:11,700 --> 00:44:13,140
I get to experience that.

951
00:44:13,140 --> 00:44:13,860
I can't wait.

952
00:44:13,860 --> 00:44:17,060
And it's in a collector's edition, a collector's edition for a DLC.

953
00:44:17,060 --> 00:44:18,580
It's going to be gas.

954
00:44:18,580 --> 00:44:19,540
It's going to be sick.

955
00:44:19,540 --> 00:44:23,140
I just want to know what the, what the, what the, what the fuck is going on.

956
00:44:23,140 --> 00:44:24,740
The main bosses.

957
00:44:24,740 --> 00:44:25,540
Who that is?

958
00:44:25,540 --> 00:44:26,340
It's not going to be Mesmer.

959
00:44:26,340 --> 00:44:27,140
Because it's not Mesmer.

960
00:44:27,140 --> 00:44:31,940
They never, they never make the fucking statue or the people person they show the most the

961
00:44:31,940 --> 00:44:33,620
main fucking boss.

962
00:44:33,620 --> 00:44:34,900
It's something else.

963
00:44:34,900 --> 00:44:36,340
And I can't wait to see what it is.

964
00:44:36,340 --> 00:44:37,700
It's going to be Melania, isn't it?

965
00:44:37,700 --> 00:44:39,860
It's going to be the whole, the main bitch.

966
00:44:39,860 --> 00:44:41,460
Well, Melania's dead.

967
00:44:41,460 --> 00:44:44,260
Yeah, but that doesn't mean shit in video games, does it?

968
00:44:44,900 --> 00:44:47,140
She's going to come back in some fucking form.

969
00:44:47,140 --> 00:44:48,500
There's a flower, isn't she?

970
00:44:48,500 --> 00:44:52,020
Fucking burst out and then we're going to, ah, ah, ah.

971
00:44:52,020 --> 00:44:53,540
Fucking big old battle.

972
00:44:53,540 --> 00:44:54,040
Yeah.

973
00:44:55,060 --> 00:44:55,940
Sadly like that.

974
00:44:57,380 --> 00:44:59,140
I'm pretty sure that was like Star Wars, you know?

975
00:44:59,140 --> 00:45:00,020
It was Star Wars.

976
00:45:04,100 --> 00:45:04,820
Oh yeah.

977
00:45:04,820 --> 00:45:05,700
So that's fucking.

978
00:45:06,820 --> 00:45:07,220
That's it.

979
00:45:07,220 --> 00:45:08,020
Really?

980
00:45:08,020 --> 00:45:09,380
Patreon time, baby.

981
00:45:09,380 --> 00:45:11,060
Yeah, I think it is Patreon time.

982
00:45:11,060 --> 00:45:13,380
Pa, pa, Patreon time.

983
00:45:13,380 --> 00:45:13,780
That's good.

984
00:45:13,780 --> 00:45:15,140
Cause I need to make a phone call.

985
00:45:15,140 --> 00:45:16,020
Okay. No worries.

986
00:45:16,020 --> 00:45:17,220
Well, see you later everyone.

987
00:45:17,220 --> 00:45:17,780
Uro.

988
00:45:17,780 --> 00:45:24,740
Alright.
