1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,420 Game of the Year awards were fucking last night and in true fashion as as 2 00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:09,040 Possibly one of the best gaming podcasts in the UK 3 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:15,140 We're here primed and ready for information on all of that straight off the bat 4 00:00:17,780 --> 00:00:19,640 Finger on the pulse 5 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:24,860 Finger on the pulse. That's what we've got toast has popped up. We're already there with the fucking butter 6 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,400 We've already got toast before the breads got in. It's right there 7 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:35,920 So we're decent. I won't lie. I didn't watch the stream. I know you didn't watch the stream either. We're adult men 8 00:00:36,460 --> 00:00:41,620 Where we have to get up earlier than most to go to one? Oh, I do you'll be different 9 00:00:42,020 --> 00:00:46,140 But either way, we ain't got the fucking capacity. What time did it start like midnight or some shit? 10 00:00:46,140 --> 00:00:48,140 It was still streaming when I was up 11 00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:53,820 So I knew it weren't fucking I weren't gonna get a recap properly, but there's a 12 00:00:53,820 --> 00:01:01,220 Oh, there's a lot of shit. I think 2024 has been a a rather shit year for gaming 13 00:01:01,740 --> 00:01:05,620 in a sense of not not nearly as much as as 14 00:01:06,220 --> 00:01:11,900 Previous years has come into the fray and I feel like that's because it's all been leading into 2025 15 00:01:12,660 --> 00:01:14,660 Because some of the shit that's coming out 16 00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:20,560 Supposedly next year is quite is quite top tier. So I'm excited for it 17 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,560 Thoughts 18 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,360 Yes 19 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,360 Yes 20 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,360 You're just waiting for me to fill some space. Yeah 21 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,360 Yes, I agree. No, I think this year's been alright 22 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,360 We've had Shadow of the Earth tree. We've had Black Mith Wukong 23 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:43,360 We have Dragon's Dogma I think early on 24 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,360 I need to work. I need to feel like I need to play Astrobots 25 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:53,600 If you're not aware spoilers Astrobot won game of the year, right? I'll openly admit it 26 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,600 I don't think that's right 27 00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,640 Okay, but I haven't played the game now. I voted for 28 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,200 Shadow of the Earth tree 29 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,640 Controversially as a DLC. I was half and half between that and Black Mith Wukong 30 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:14,000 Now I can get over Astrobots winning game of the year fair enough because it is a good game 31 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,400 Otherwise, it wouldn't win game of the year. What I can't understand is how it won best action slash adventure 32 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,120 Yes 33 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:30,600 How does that work you explained to me how that one works which is why I must be missing something so therefore I need to 34 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,600 Play it because I can't understand 35 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,200 Why? 36 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:40,160 Against the games that it was against why it's done so unbelievably well, especially as a PlayStation exclusive 37 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,760 Yeah, I just I just want to work it out 38 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,160 Please is a platformer where you can go around and collect characters 39 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,160 From the PlayStation life, you know, but I don't I don't really see 40 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,760 Yeah, is that where they get the adventure parkers to me just looks like a platformer 41 00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:01,880 I really don't I don't fucking if it's anything like the original Astrobot. It's just literally a platformer 42 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,480 I mean the trouble is I think it's still got that gimmicky tag to it 43 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,440 Which is why it's quite shocked that he's winning game of the year because it was initially like a 44 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,720 Given to you gift with yeah free already downloaded because it's there 45 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:22,000 It's their flagship almost isn't it in that it it replaced little big planet. It was more of like a 46 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,680 What you say like a hardware demo game? Yeah 47 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:26,160 Yeah 48 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:32,080 It was the game to show off the the any new features that were in like like when you first get your ps5 49 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,280 And it you play Astro bots 50 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,800 To for it to show off the controller 51 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:44,520 And then obviously a while ago. They went down the route of turning it into a fully fledged standalone game 52 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:50,760 That obviously does very very well again difficult to really shit on it 53 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,000 Because number one it probably doesn't deserve it and number two neither of us have fucking played it 54 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:02,520 So it's very hard to say why the fuck did it be I would have bought it because the kids love playing Astro bots 55 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:09,240 Right. That's one of the most played games that they play on my station, but I can't justify spending 50 60 quid on it 56 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,800 Because it's not too bad if it was too bad. It'd be fine 57 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,440 But because they can't play together they take it in turns and kids don't like taking turns. Nope 58 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:22,240 So I mean, I can't but when it comes down price, I'll definitely get for the kids 59 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,880 But yeah, that's always been like the the original one. It was good fun 60 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,440 I mean, it's always been like the original one. It was good fun 61 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:34,280 I mean it originally came from the VR didn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah VR game. Everyone went wild for it 62 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,080 And then yes, obviously transitioned into a tech demo and and 63 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,040 Yeah, that was really good as a platformer 64 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:47,480 So it's got all like the the the right platform in fun and the movement and stuff like that 65 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,480 And if they've enhanced that 66 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,840 When it came out, it was being compared to Super Mario 64. Mm-hmm 67 00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:59,560 So if it's reaching them sort of levels, then I can understand it, but I guess it's hard to shake that 68 00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:06,280 That's that tag of hardware. Well, we've got we've got game of the year Astro Bot 69 00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:13,080 Yeah, and that'd be out Bellator black myth Wukong shadow of the Earth tree Final Fantasy rebirth and metaphor 70 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,640 Refantartio, okay, and then you got best game direction 71 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,360 Astro Bot won that which was up against the 72 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:27,760 Astro Bot won that which was up against Bellator black myth shadow the Earth tree rebirth and then metaphor 73 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,760 They're just all gonna be up against each other which I don't know how 74 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,000 best game direction 75 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000 black myth Wukong surely 76 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,560 shadow the earth tree surely 77 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:45,720 You've played fucking metaphor.

I remember I remember when apex legends come out and I remember complaining 160 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,840 Because I was like fucking out really another battle royale. This isn't what we wanted 161 00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:02,100 We wanted fucking Titanfall and little did we know that that game would consume you for the next two three years 162 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,460 That shit just took over. It was fucking decent 163 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:11,680 Back to the game awards. I mean, I know you ain't fucking that bothered by it, but out of worlds, too 164 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,920 I'm excited for it. I think that looks fucking that looks good 165 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:23,000 and I like I like the fact that they they took the piss out of themselves in the trailer by saying that it's taken free times as 166 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,320 Long as it should have and they've in in outer worlds, too 167 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:32,040 They've implemented the things that should have been in the first game, but weren't and shit like that 168 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:38,560 I find that that sort of stuff where it's like you're you're taking the piss out of yourself because you know that this 169 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:45,080 This is the case. That's general gaming jargon. Yeah, and they were like from from the people that brought you 170 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,080 I think it was 171 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,080 Was it fallout free? 172 00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:56,440 Yeah, fallout free, I think they called it like fallout free to New Vegas or some shit like that 173 00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:03,800 Just funny man.

Yeah, i've finished it multiple times 339 00:25:58,780 --> 00:26:03,820 But it's like one of them games you just play over and over again. Yeah, yeah different characters different decks blah blah blah 340 00:26:04,220 --> 00:26:10,860 But I just said something really feels dirty about buying a game on your phone screaming. It felt horrible. I agree 341 00:26:11,180 --> 00:26:14,220 It's just not a natural feeling you feel like you're being conned 342 00:26:14,380 --> 00:26:21,500 Yeah, because I paid a tenner on the play store the game downloaded in about five seconds while you're playing it on your phone 343 00:26:21,740 --> 00:26:25,660 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, see I was gonna buy it on the playstation, but then I thought well I got this bad boy 344 00:26:25,660 --> 00:26:29,980 That's exactly why I was talking to you about it because uh, because this is what I didn't want to do. I thought 345 00:26:30,620 --> 00:26:32,220 This game's been spoken about a lot 346 00:26:32,220 --> 00:26:35,260 We don't we don't we're not in the same circle as it but a lot of people love it 347 00:26:35,740 --> 00:26:41,500 Almost like dave the diver sort of vibes and vampire survivors another one man band indie 348 00:26:42,220 --> 00:26:44,220 That is doing the rounds. Um 349 00:26:44,780 --> 00:26:49,580 And I thought I don't want to get that on pc and I don't want to get it on playstation because I know 350 00:26:49,980 --> 00:26:53,660 That I will not enjoy sitting there playing a fucking card game, but I thought 351 00:26:53,660 --> 00:27:01,340 Where is a place where you can enjoy playing playing a simple little game that you can just pick up and put down your fucking phone man 352 00:27:01,980 --> 00:27:03,980 Always in your hand always there 353 00:27:04,220 --> 00:27:05,580 It's winter 354 00:27:05,580 --> 00:27:09,660 The fields that we're in there's going to be a lot of sitting around doing fuck all in the next couple of months 355 00:27:09,980 --> 00:27:11,660 It's just how it is 356 00:27:11,660 --> 00:27:13,900 Maybe more so for me than you definitely not me 357 00:27:14,460 --> 00:27:16,460 I got more on than I ever have 358 00:27:17,260 --> 00:27:19,100 but um 359 00:27:19,100 --> 00:27:22,460 Yeah, so I was like i'll buy it on my phone and yeah, that is that is the 360 00:27:22,460 --> 00:27:23,260 the 361 00:27:23,260 --> 00:27:25,260 Possibly the first game that i've bought 362 00:27:25,900 --> 00:27:32,700 Through the play store and it felt fucking horrible for for whatever reason. I don't know why felt really weird foreign, isn't it? 363 00:27:32,700 --> 00:27:37,660 I just feel like you buy stuff on your phone because you're so used to games on your phone being shit and free 364 00:27:37,900 --> 00:27:43,580 Yeah, you feel like you're just being conned. Yeah, yeah shouldn't be paying for this because I was like what I think it's also 365 00:27:43,580 --> 00:27:45,580 The fact that you can get it on every other platform 366 00:27:45,980 --> 00:27:47,740 I was like wow 367 00:27:47,740 --> 00:27:51,260 It's no different to anywhere else, but this just feels dirty, but it's good 368 00:27:51,260 --> 00:27:54,060 I'd like to get it on playstation because I like the trophies 369 00:27:54,060 --> 00:27:57,740 I'd like to get it on steam deck because I like the portability of it.

That's no that's like when you let someone else play your game 560 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,160 your game from their own home 561 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,600 I didn't let anyone do that. So yeah, that's why it's weird that you've got i've been hacked 562 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,360 You scored how you score 13 campaigns 563 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,000 You uh, give a fuck about that 564 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,800 And then uh, what a year 565 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:50,800 There we go 566 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:58,960 What a year fantastic year. I definitely need to broaden the horizons on it. It's very it's very difficult because like after this podcast 567 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:05,120 I'll probably go on. Wow. Yeah, it's just what annoys me though. I just I talk we've had this discussion a thousand times 568 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,240 I want that I want to just be like, yeah, these are all great. I'm going back there 569 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,800 I just haven't got that and it pisses me off because 570 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,600 Guess what I did. I spent a hundred pound to buy a fucking path of exile two 571 00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:20,880 To get the fucking beta and i've been banging that all week and guess who's had enough of it me 572 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:26,880 Is that what you did? Yeah, you fucking melt for a game. What did you do that for? 573 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:32,720 Because I wanted all the shiny shit. They've got you hook line and sinker. I wanted all the shiny shit. Fucking hell 574 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,680 How much have you paid on that? You kept that quiet? 575 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,760 Why have you kept that so quiet? 576 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:42,800 I haven't kept it quiet. You fucking have because you ain't told me anything of that. Normally you try and wrangle me in on that shit 577 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:48,560 Because I know what you're like you just moan about everything. Because it's exactly the same as fucking diablo 578 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:54,800 No, it's very good. All right, the game is very good high quality. It is early access like the game's fantastic 579 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:59,680 There's nothing wrong with it at all apart from it being early access. So you just go okay, well that's gonna be fixed 580 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:05,760 Um, but then i just whilst i'm doing it and i'm having a great time. I'm thinking why am I doing this? 581 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,320 What do you mean? Well, what is the point? 582 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:14,240 Much like diablo. What is the fucking point? I got a fucking I got sick drop fantastic. Yeah 583 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:20,240 Oh, i've got these gems. I can put these in a brilliant. I've got a fucking best in slot for my character. Great 584 00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:25,680 What's the use of it because no because when the seasons come out, yeah 585 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,400 It's useless. Oh does it play the same format? 586 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,760 Yeah, which is bollocks stupid. So so what is the point? 587 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,680 And then you get all these stash tabs because parfaxon makes a lot of money from its stash tabs 588 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,200 You buy like a currency stash tab you buy this what's very cool is 589 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:46,080 You spend I don't think it was 100 quid it was like 80 quid 660 70. I don't know whatever it was 590 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:50,160 Because but they give you the equivalent of that money 591 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,480 That you've spent on it in currency for in game 592 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,160 So if you spend 70 quid on the game, they give you 70 pounds worth of 593 00:42:58,540 --> 00:43:01,840 Currency so you can spend 70 quid worth of stuff, you know blah blah blah 594 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:06,400 And then they inflate the prices of everything else in the fucking shops and blah blah blah. They go on sale 595 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,440 Oh, they're actually very consumer friendly. Um 596 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,400 They actually oh that's what they're known for anyway 597 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:16,800 Well, you just paid 70 quid for an early access because I don't know how consumer friendly they really are 598 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:21,840 No one forced me. No one did force you but the option was there and it was 30 quid if you want to go early access 599 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:26,160 That's not a full fledged game for 30 quid. I think that's a good deal. In other words the demo 600 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:31,920 I was so into it. I even gifted someone two subs on twitch just to get a fucking pet 601 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:37,760 That's a new thing that they're doing. They're doing that with wow as well gift subs to strata. How about fuck off? 602 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:42,480 Just give me the fucking pet. That's what I thought about doing but then I got it anyway and then guess what? 603 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,360 I turned pets off because they're confusing me and I kept thinking they're enemies. So 604 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,880 Useless how does the talent system thing work? 605 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:54,240 Because that's the main thing I see from path of exile 2 is when you open up the talents and there's just that fucking big 606 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:59,440 Sprawl of shit easy. It is easy. Yeah, because they're not talents. They're just passives 607 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:04,160 Yeah, yeah passives, but you don't need to worry about it. Just go up five percent more damages 608 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:09,680 Well, yeah that one what happens if you pick the wrong one you can refund for cheap. See this would be my problem 609 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:16,800 I'd look at that and I'd go there is a there is a meta within here somewhere. So I need to follow that 610 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:22,080 Yeah, I know I know I can't like you could you have as much fun as you want play the whole game through from 611 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,640 From whatever to max level 612 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:29,680 Figuring out everything you want to do and then you'll hit a point where you'll go my character is shit compared to everyone else's 613 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,600 And then you'll realize all your talents are fucked and you go right now. I've got a change them 614 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,880 I'm doing really well. I'm like midway through act two 615 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:42,880 I've seen a lot of people even poe one fucking vet saying they're really struggling. It's really hard because it's slow 616 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:48,880 It's like it's not like Diablo and that is like slow combat like Elden Ring Dark Souls 617 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:54,160 Less enemies on the screen. So why do you why do you not see the point in what you're doing? 618 00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:58,080 Because like I've just said when it when the seasons come out, what is the fucking point? 619 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:02,080 So you get all these stash tabs you put all your stuff in there. What's the fucking point? 620 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:08,480 This is this is the thing where I spoke to I speak to Steph about it. I did speak to Steph about it where 621 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:15,520 When Diablo 4 come out or when it was due to come out remember we spent a very long time multiple episodes 622 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:20,720 Trying to work out what the fuck the seasons meant because we couldn't comprehend it 623 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:26,400 And then I went to the discord and then fucking fucking connor was trying to explain it to me 624 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,680 Matt was trying to explain it all these fucking people astin 625 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:34,880 They were all trying to explain to me what the fuck the seasons mean and we deduced 626 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:41,360 From that it was that you make a character play the entire season and then that character gets thrown away 627 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:45,280 Into a server where it doesn't matter because you won't be playing on that server 628 00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,700 And I turned around and said what a fucking stupid idea that sounds horrendous 629 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:53,760 And everyone that I spoke to was like no, it's the best fucking idea ever 630 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:58,240 It means that you get to play blah blah is refreshing and then what happened season come out 631 00:45:58,240 --> 00:46:00,240 Every single one of those people hated it 632 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,480 Everyone hated it because that it just seems like such a weird 633 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:10,640 No, you go through you go through reddit or you go through anything like that and look at Diablo or 634 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:16,800 Parflexo and they all say the same thing. There's someone saying exactly what we're saying and they just get shit on them. Yeah, no 635 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,720 No, this is what keeps it fresh. This is this is the only way it keeps it fresh 636 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:25,920 But so but then what makes me because I this is what I'm trying to comprehend 637 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,960 What makes me now get all this cool shit drop? 638 00:46:29,580 --> 00:46:34,320 Invest in it because you can trade and all that stuff on the website and trade for orbs and blah blah 639 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,160 What's the point in trading for something? That's going to be useless 640 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:44,560 In a month or two because i'm getting all this shit i'm buzzing and then oh well 641 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:50,160 That's the end of that. So now I have to create a new character and do the same campaign 642 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:55,440 Over again with just a few new maybe modifiers in it or whatever new system I have 643 00:46:55,440 --> 00:47:02,720 But the campaign's exactly the same. What is that's just and and you you are someone who quite likes the role play aspect of it 644 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:08,720 how are you supposed to build a connection with the character that you're making and formulate some form of of 645 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:16,640 Storytelling through that character when after a month or two you've got a fucking bench it and then go again 646 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:22,080 Exactly. What the fuck's that? Why why I got I got swept up in the hype for it and uh, 647 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:26,480 I just forgot my my mentality and i've just fucking yeah, that's the end of that 648 00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:30,160 It's absolutely fine because you'll make the same mistake again as will I at some point 649 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:36,320 It's gonna get uninstalled and i'm gonna reinstall bouldersgate again or cyberpunked. I don't know which one yet. Probably bouldersgate 650 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:42,320 Because I want to uh, I want to carry on.
