WEBVTT

00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:09.300
That'll do. We're going to have to get Stephanie,

00:00:09.419 --> 00:00:13.800
aren't we? This is not good. I don't think I

00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:16.640
can look at you. You're a fat bald head. You

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:20.019
ain't got a choice. Yeah, this is a new voice

00:00:20.019 --> 00:00:22.440
on the podcast. Oh, we're starting, aren't we?

00:00:22.579 --> 00:00:27.420
Yeah. My bald head's the intro. Oh, Mark Mannes

00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:30.510
is filling in. It feels weird. I don't know why.

00:00:30.690 --> 00:00:34.149
We've been friends for well over a decade. 15

00:00:34.149 --> 00:00:37.750
years or whatever. This is not going to be a

00:00:37.750 --> 00:00:41.130
good episode. It's long overdue, I think. This

00:00:41.130 --> 00:00:47.030
is not going to be good. Both gamers. Yeah. One

00:00:47.030 --> 00:00:54.590
of us is bald. One of us is bald. Oh, God. This

00:00:54.590 --> 00:00:55.950
is going to be a long one. This is going to be

00:00:55.950 --> 00:01:02.100
a 45 -minute and delete. What are we doing? The

00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:05.060
main or the Patreon? Do the main. Fuck it. Might

00:01:05.060 --> 00:01:07.319
as well give them Summit. Yeah, brilliant. Summit

00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.879
before the good ideas are gone. Fuck. You ain't

00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:13.500
done a lot of gaming. I ain't done a lot of gaming

00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:15.379
in the last however long. What you have been

00:01:15.379 --> 00:01:19.340
playing, which is fucking good, is Ghost of Tsushima.

00:01:22.099 --> 00:01:25.400
Me and Mark are different when it comes to gaming.

00:01:26.859 --> 00:01:29.140
I don't really give a fuck about trophies or

00:01:29.140 --> 00:01:31.879
anything like that, whereas you quite like to

00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:33.819
get a platinum. Yeah. How many platinums you

00:01:33.819 --> 00:01:37.180
got now? 20, 25, something like that. Which is

00:01:37.180 --> 00:01:39.260
just fucking, in my world, that's just ridiculous.

00:01:40.379 --> 00:01:42.000
It's not that impressive, really. Is it not?

00:01:42.180 --> 00:01:44.799
No. Because you're part of a group that posts

00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:46.280
all their platinums and shit like that. Yeah,

00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.379
yeah. There's people that put in hundreds and

00:01:49.379 --> 00:01:52.620
hundreds of platinums. 25 is a very rookie number.

00:01:52.819 --> 00:01:55.310
One of the ones that was... I was finding quite

00:01:55.310 --> 00:01:59.049
impressive until you fucking give up. I know

00:01:59.049 --> 00:02:01.310
what you're going to say. Red Dead Redemption

00:02:01.310 --> 00:02:03.430
2. That drained the life out of me. I had to

00:02:03.430 --> 00:02:07.290
give up. Over 150 hours I think I put into that

00:02:07.290 --> 00:02:10.310
and I'll still have probably another 100 to put

00:02:10.310 --> 00:02:13.289
in. That many? Yeah. Is that because of the online

00:02:13.289 --> 00:02:18.240
trophies? Yeah. I think I've done. all the story

00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:20.680
trophies it was just online that's such a fucking

00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.580
cheeky thing to do because I don't know if the

00:02:23.580 --> 00:02:30.639
GTA 5 platinum includes online yeah it does I've

00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:32.819
never tried it because I think it's only been

00:02:32.819 --> 00:02:35.699
the last probably three four years that I've

00:02:35.699 --> 00:02:38.400
gone for platinums maybe even less I'm not too

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.379
sure see I didn't i'm so out of the loop on that

00:02:41.379 --> 00:02:44.180
i didn't even realize that the the hidden trophies

00:02:44.180 --> 00:02:45.919
on the fucking list that you can press square

00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.180
to reveal yeah i didn't know you could do that

00:02:48.180 --> 00:02:50.340
yeah you can also before you click on the game

00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:52.259
if you go and like where all your trophies are

00:02:52.259 --> 00:02:54.939
you can uh press like the select button like

00:02:54.939 --> 00:02:57.759
start button yeah and you can like select reveal

00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.439
all before you go into the list and it shows

00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:02.699
you everything can i see it on my app will it

00:03:02.699 --> 00:03:04.419
does it show up on the playstation yeah it shows

00:03:04.419 --> 00:03:06.800
you on there you see how pathetic my trophy list

00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.590
is whereabouts is all of that I don't really

00:03:09.590 --> 00:03:11.069
understand why you haven't bothered to platinum

00:03:11.069 --> 00:03:12.849
anything, because you've definitely got games

00:03:12.849 --> 00:03:15.250
that you're close to platinum in. I really don't

00:03:15.250 --> 00:03:19.330
know. I really don't know. I just can't... Let

00:03:19.330 --> 00:03:21.710
me see if I can... Yeah, if you click on, say,

00:03:21.770 --> 00:03:24.189
look, Ghost of Tsushima, just press there, and

00:03:24.189 --> 00:03:27.090
at the bottom it says review all. I did not know

00:03:27.090 --> 00:03:31.669
that. How ridiculous is that? You also get hints

00:03:31.669 --> 00:03:35.009
on PlayStation now, don't you? Do I? Yeah, I

00:03:35.009 --> 00:03:36.789
don't know if you can look at it on the app,

00:03:36.969 --> 00:03:39.449
but... When you're on it, if you click on it,

00:03:39.490 --> 00:03:41.050
it will come up with hints. I don't know what

00:03:41.050 --> 00:03:43.090
button it is. And it will show you... Probably

00:03:43.090 --> 00:03:46.789
triangles. Like a video. Maybe like someone that's

00:03:46.789 --> 00:03:47.990
done it. It gives you a fucking video for it.

00:03:48.069 --> 00:03:49.469
Yeah, it'll show you like where something is.

00:03:49.849 --> 00:03:53.710
Wow. Yeah, I'm just so not... I don't know why

00:03:53.710 --> 00:03:55.669
I'm not interested. Because I know a lot of people

00:03:55.669 --> 00:04:00.789
do it as like a nod to the developers. I know

00:04:00.789 --> 00:04:03.629
Ash does that. Where if they think a game's really

00:04:03.629 --> 00:04:06.250
good, they'll platinum it. Yeah, I think so.

00:04:06.349 --> 00:04:08.770
I've done everything. Pretty much the same. There's

00:04:08.770 --> 00:04:10.250
the odd game that I've just platinum because

00:04:10.250 --> 00:04:13.189
it was easy, like Assassin's Creed Mirage. I

00:04:13.189 --> 00:04:14.889
thought it was a pretty shit game, but it was

00:04:14.889 --> 00:04:18.750
a really easy platinum. It was like an extra

00:04:18.750 --> 00:04:20.610
four or five hours or something, so it was just

00:04:20.610 --> 00:04:24.829
worth doing. Yeah. Because you're going for the

00:04:24.829 --> 00:04:27.050
Ghost of Tsushima. Yeah, yeah. I just haven't

00:04:27.050 --> 00:04:29.430
played in the last week or two. Is that a hard

00:04:29.430 --> 00:04:32.889
one? No. No, it's a very easy one. Tsushima Platinum.

00:04:33.029 --> 00:04:36.199
Oh, it has a difficulty rating. yeah yeah it

00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.620
tells you rarity and all that roadmap and all

00:04:38.620 --> 00:04:41.300
that shit wow yeah it's an easy one like because

00:04:41.300 --> 00:04:43.579
obviously collectibles in game are a very big

00:04:43.579 --> 00:04:45.839
thing for Platinums and Ghost of Tsushima you've

00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.160
only got to get say 20 artifacts instead of the

00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.660
full 100 and stuff like that what was it Assassin's

00:04:51.660 --> 00:04:54.420
Creed 2 wasn't it with the feathers yeah I've

00:04:54.420 --> 00:04:56.860
got the Assassin's Creed 2 Platinum have you

00:04:56.860 --> 00:04:59.579
yeah fucking hell I think that and Mirage are

00:04:59.579 --> 00:05:01.500
the only two that I've actually got what's the

00:05:01.500 --> 00:05:06.790
most difficult Platinum trophies. I think Fortnite's

00:05:06.790 --> 00:05:10.170
the... Fortnite? Yeah, you have to put like a

00:05:10.170 --> 00:05:12.410
thousand hours into it. Let's have a look at

00:05:12.410 --> 00:05:16.750
what this list has. The Stanley Parable. Red

00:05:16.750 --> 00:05:20.350
Dead's definitely up there. It's a 0 .1 % of

00:05:20.350 --> 00:05:22.370
people that have platinumed it. Call of Duty

00:05:22.370 --> 00:05:27.990
Black Ops 3. Monster Hunter World. Ghosts and

00:05:27.990 --> 00:05:32.310
Goblins. I don't think this is a very in -depth...

00:05:32.310 --> 00:05:34.480
I don't think this is a good list. Rank your

00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:36.220
hardest Platinums. Here we go. Reddit's always

00:05:36.220 --> 00:05:39.579
a decent one. I have 17. So I'll rank them all

00:05:39.579 --> 00:05:44.160
here. No, I'm not going with you. Had enough

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.899
already. See, none of these... Wolfenstein 2,

00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:50.139
Hollow Knight, The Evil Within. Yeah, Wolfenstein's

00:05:50.139 --> 00:05:51.899
meant to be a hard one. I have heard that, to

00:05:51.899 --> 00:05:55.939
be fair. Aliens, Fireteam, Elite. I can't rank

00:05:55.939 --> 00:05:58.959
all 420 I have currently. See, I told you. But

00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.439
I will choose top five. Hollow Knight is number

00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.980
one. Plague, Dead Nation, Puppeteer, and then

00:06:05.980 --> 00:06:07.579
Blasphemous. I don't know what... I've never

00:06:07.579 --> 00:06:10.439
heard of any of them. Fall Guys. When I got this,

00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:11.899
I didn't know that there was a glitch for the

00:06:11.899 --> 00:06:14.139
five wins, so I got it legit, and it's by far

00:06:14.139 --> 00:06:16.019
the most difficult thing I've ever done in gaming.

00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.540
Very proud of this one. From Fall Guys. What

00:06:18.540 --> 00:06:20.959
was that? Oh, that was the... When you were like

00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:23.339
the fucking jelly bean. Yeah, everyone got extremely

00:06:23.339 --> 00:06:24.939
good at it, didn't they? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We

00:06:24.939 --> 00:06:27.579
played it quite a lot. Yeah, I think I had one

00:06:27.579 --> 00:06:30.100
or two wins when we played it. It was a good

00:06:30.100 --> 00:06:31.680
game, though. That was one of them COVID games,

00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:33.970
wasn't it? Yeah, bang it out for a month and

00:06:33.970 --> 00:06:37.009
then disappeared. Just Calls 3 and Uncharted

00:06:37.009 --> 00:06:40.350
4. Yeah, the Uncharted ones. The online trophies.

00:06:40.350 --> 00:06:41.970
It even says, yeah, mainly put here because of

00:06:41.970 --> 00:06:45.790
the online trophies. That's so... SpongeBob SquarePants,

00:06:45.850 --> 00:06:49.569
Battle for Bikini Bottom. Really? Surely not.

00:06:49.790 --> 00:06:52.089
I don't know why. Kids game, yeah. Spider -Man

00:06:52.089 --> 00:06:56.860
2. Miles Morales, Ghost of Tsushima. So, really

00:06:56.860 --> 00:06:59.980
easy play, but just took me a while to complete.

00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.120
Well, that doesn't really rank it as a hard thing

00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:03.620
if it's just taken you a while to complete it.

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:06.100
Yeah, Spider -Mans are the easiest ones. I'm

00:07:06.100 --> 00:07:09.079
pretty sure they're the highest percentage out

00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:14.199
there for like a AAA game. Do you get points

00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.800
for getting trophies and shit? Because it's not

00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:22.379
like how Xbox used to be when they counted as

00:07:22.379 --> 00:07:24.899
currency, didn't they? I don't know. It's been

00:07:24.899 --> 00:07:26.620
a long time since I've had an Xbox. I swear,

00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.000
I swear. Years and years and years and years

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:32.899
ago. I don't know, because I used to get Gamerscore,

00:07:32.939 --> 00:07:35.079
didn't you, on Xbox? Yeah, and I thought you

00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:37.819
could use Gamerscore and that would let you buy

00:07:37.819 --> 00:07:40.420
shit from the... I don't know, I don't remember.

00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:42.180
I'm not saying you ain't right, I just don't

00:07:42.180 --> 00:07:45.060
remember. Because I know that... Because obviously

00:07:45.060 --> 00:07:47.879
you got the PlayStation Stars, didn't you? Yeah,

00:07:47.899 --> 00:07:50.259
you do get points, but a lot of them I think

00:07:50.259 --> 00:07:52.800
are from... buying games from the store and I'm

00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:55.680
not I don't know if it's actually earning platinums

00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.660
which it should be but obviously yeah I've always

00:07:58.660 --> 00:08:00.699
thought that that should be a like you should

00:08:00.699 --> 00:08:03.300
just get something for yeah rather than just

00:08:03.300 --> 00:08:05.160
a platinum trophy there should be something thrown

00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.319
in there like I don't know yeah you don't get

00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.920
fuck all it's just at the end of your year like

00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.160
playstation wrapped it just tells you how many

00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:14.920
trophies you've got and all that it's just for

00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:17.939
stats pointless shit I'd just do it because it's

00:08:17.939 --> 00:08:21.759
same as that's really games deserve it why not

00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:25.899
finish it off so you've finished the main story

00:08:25.899 --> 00:08:28.680
for ghost tsushima yeah i'm currently doing the

00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:32.500
um dlc um icky island at the minute and then

00:08:32.500 --> 00:08:34.919
once i've finished that i'll go back and clean

00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:36.740
up with all the trophies i never finished icky

00:08:36.740 --> 00:08:39.559
island man i don't know why i don't know why

00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:42.440
i didn't yeah i'm only about two hours into it

00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:45.559
but yes it's definitely a good little dlc yeah

00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.019
because i don't think it's i don't think it's

00:08:48.019 --> 00:08:52.559
a crazy long But it is meant to be really good.

00:08:52.659 --> 00:08:55.779
And for whatever reason, it's the same with that

00:08:55.779 --> 00:08:59.340
free God of War DLC that they gave us. Oh, see,

00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:02.379
I had it on disc and I sold the game before that

00:09:02.379 --> 00:09:05.240
come out. So I platinumed it and got rid of it,

00:09:05.259 --> 00:09:07.419
didn't I? I did the usual, platinumed it really

00:09:07.419 --> 00:09:10.399
quick. And then get rid of that. Yeah. That seems

00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:12.259
like a little cheat that I did that a couple

00:09:12.259 --> 00:09:13.820
of times, buy a game off of Amazon, complete

00:09:13.820 --> 00:09:17.379
it, send it back. Yeah, I did. Mirage, the Spider

00:09:17.379 --> 00:09:19.100
-Man. Yeah, yeah. I hit them in the weekend and

00:09:19.100 --> 00:09:21.080
then just sell them for pretty much what I paid

00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:23.019
for it. I was just returning them on Amazon.

00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:25.039
Yeah, all that. Just give them back. There you

00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:28.419
go. Don't want it anymore. Fucking stupid. So

00:09:28.419 --> 00:09:33.539
you're going to platinum that. When... Have you

00:09:33.539 --> 00:09:36.720
seen much on Ghost of Yotai? I have seen nothing.

00:09:37.220 --> 00:09:38.679
You've seen nothing? You know what I'm like.

00:09:39.139 --> 00:09:40.639
You don't want to bother looking at any of it?

00:09:40.700 --> 00:09:43.340
No. I'm just going to go off the basis that...

00:09:43.580 --> 00:09:46.299
Ghost of Tsushima was really good, so... 2nd

00:09:46.299 --> 00:09:48.539
of October is when that comes out. Because I

00:09:48.539 --> 00:09:51.159
was looking at the... I sent you the collector's

00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:54.639
edition for that. Yeah, I weren't a massive fan

00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:59.000
of it, to be honest. I'm more into statues. Yeah,

00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.340
because you get... I like it because you do and

00:10:02.340 --> 00:10:03.940
you don't get a statue, don't you? You get that...

00:10:03.940 --> 00:10:07.139
Yeah, like the face mask, isn't it? Yeah, yeah,

00:10:07.139 --> 00:10:09.379
yeah. It's the same with Ghost of Tsushima. It

00:10:09.379 --> 00:10:11.580
was pretty much the same. Is it the same shit,

00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.580
is it? Yeah, it's just, obviously, it's Jin Sakai's,

00:10:14.580 --> 00:10:16.899
it's black, and with the new one, it's... This

00:10:16.899 --> 00:10:18.700
one's white. Yeah, white. White with, like, some

00:10:18.700 --> 00:10:21.539
gold specs on it. Yeah. Because, do you remember...

00:10:21.539 --> 00:10:25.340
Because you never ended up getting it, that high

00:10:25.340 --> 00:10:29.259
-on -life collector's edition. Do you remember

00:10:29.259 --> 00:10:31.059
that? Oh, yeah, yeah, I was going to buy it,

00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:32.419
wasn't I? And I never... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because

00:10:32.419 --> 00:10:34.340
it was quite cheap. It was cheap, yeah. A hundred

00:10:34.340 --> 00:10:36.159
quid or something. I was talking to Steph about

00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:38.480
it last week, or, well, last week of Tuesday.

00:10:39.820 --> 00:10:42.120
about decent collector's editions that are actually

00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.860
not too expensive i said that the mirage one

00:10:44.860 --> 00:10:47.860
was probably one of the better ones i know the

00:10:47.860 --> 00:10:52.080
game was waft yeah but that was what 130 140

00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:55.000
yeah i was clearing stuff out the other day and

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.440
i literally found the receipt for 130 credit

00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:59.500
costs yeah which is decent for a collector's

00:10:59.500 --> 00:11:04.440
edition man shit game Yeah, it was shit. It just

00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:06.639
did not live up to the hype at all. Which is

00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.299
annoying, because I would have thought that,

00:11:09.340 --> 00:11:14.120
like, Assassin's Creed Shadows would have been,

00:11:14.139 --> 00:11:18.919
I would have been all over that. But I'm so uninterested.

00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:21.120
I'm definitely going to play it. In getting that.

00:11:21.220 --> 00:11:22.879
Now I've played Ghost of Tsushima, I've got to

00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:24.539
see. What, you want to compare? Yeah, I want

00:11:24.539 --> 00:11:27.000
to see what it's like. But I'm just not paying

00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:29.559
70 quid or whatever it is at the minute. I wonder

00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:33.080
what. I wonder what... Because I was also looking

00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:34.419
at the collector's edition of that the other

00:11:34.419 --> 00:11:36.279
day because I do like the look of the statue.

00:11:36.539 --> 00:11:38.360
Yeah, obviously I had the collector's edition

00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.200
on pre -order and then just cancelled it because

00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:45.159
I was like, I'm not too keen on the game itself.

00:11:45.779 --> 00:11:48.159
Yeah, which is mental because when it first got

00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.179
announced... I was so up for it. Yeah, you were

00:11:50.179 --> 00:11:51.740
trying to get me to buy it as well. I was so

00:11:51.740 --> 00:11:53.659
up for it. I was like, yeah, this looks fucking

00:11:53.659 --> 00:11:55.279
sick. And I was just saying to you, I was like,

00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:56.860
I don't know if it... does look all that and

00:11:56.860 --> 00:11:59.460
he's like no no no this is the one this is the

00:11:59.460 --> 00:12:02.960
one it's the same shit with um the uh the new

00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:06.019
battlefield that's meant to be coming out that

00:12:06.019 --> 00:12:09.440
they're so burnt from 2042 it's like i can't

00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.720
really trust it you struggled to get back into

00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:15.320
them didn't you yeah because i i'm the same i

00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.259
put everything into mirage yeah hoping it was

00:12:18.259 --> 00:12:20.100
going to be something amazing and it just weren't

00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:22.860
It wasn't a bad game, but the story was dog shit.

00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:25.039
If you go back through the podcast, you'll be

00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:28.139
able to fucking hear the downward spiral of that

00:12:28.139 --> 00:12:30.379
because I think when it first got announced and

00:12:30.379 --> 00:12:34.919
then when you saw a couple of trailers and then

00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:38.279
gameplay, there's definitely an episode of me

00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:40.019
saying, oh no, it looks really good. They're

00:12:40.019 --> 00:12:41.600
doing this shit where it looks quite promising

00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:43.120
and they're trying to fucking meld old school

00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:45.220
with new school, blah, blah, blah. And then I

00:12:45.220 --> 00:12:47.960
think there's the episode where I first played

00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:50.879
it and I was like, yeah, it's decent. I'm liking

00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:52.779
it. And then the next episode is me just going,

00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.559
it's shit. Yeah, I remember because I was ahead

00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:59.139
of you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I sunk, I think, like

00:12:59.139 --> 00:13:02.100
20 hours in a weekend. And I said to you, I said,

00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:04.159
it's just not that good. It's not. And you was

00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.279
like, no, no, it is. I was like, I promise you.

00:13:06.379 --> 00:13:08.659
Just give it time. Didn't have any depth. No.

00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:13.759
It was just an Assassin's Creed game with not

00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:15.919
really much going for it. And it was like it

00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:19.240
had the potential to... be really cool and do

00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.000
some decent shit but i was like you you would

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:26.100
have been pissed off if that was a full price

00:13:26.100 --> 00:13:29.700
game because that was 45 quid brand new oh is

00:13:29.700 --> 00:13:31.440
that all it was yeah yeah obviously we got the

00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:34.799
collectors yeah it's 45 quid brand new which

00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:36.399
makes sense because it's like a 20 hour campaign

00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:38.220
i think you can even i think you can complete

00:13:38.220 --> 00:13:41.059
it in like 14 hours something like that yeah

00:13:41.059 --> 00:13:44.159
so i think i did the platinum in 24 hours yeah

00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:47.700
which is fucking crazy yeah it's just yeah Big

00:13:47.700 --> 00:13:52.860
flop. I've looked up Ghost of Tsushima or Assassin's

00:13:52.860 --> 00:13:56.580
Creed Shadows. And I want to see. Ghost of Tsushima

00:13:56.580 --> 00:14:00.700
is pretty art direction wise. Is a better samurai

00:14:00.700 --> 00:14:02.820
sim and has a better story. Assassin's Creed

00:14:02.820 --> 00:14:05.960
Shadows has far more content. Graphically more

00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.259
impressive. Graphically more impressive. And

00:14:09.259 --> 00:14:12.139
a far better stealth slash shinobi experience.

00:14:12.139 --> 00:14:14.320
With a slightly watered down samurai experience.

00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:16.580
Historically speaking Assassin's Creed Shadows.

00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:21.440
wins in that regard ghost of tsushima um is a

00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.759
more more dramatic samurai film and like others

00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:27.679
said ghosts of tsushima landscape is pretty but

00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.360
very bland you spent your time running from point

00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:32.639
a to b with very little exploration it's like

00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:35.299
assassin's creed shadows offers more in terms

00:14:35.299 --> 00:14:39.639
of exploration yeah i've seen a lot of people

00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.059
because obviously i'll see it like people platinum

00:14:42.059 --> 00:14:44.360
it yeah some serious hours into it because i

00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:47.379
say they're just exploring yeah yeah i don't

00:14:47.379 --> 00:14:48.940
know how many acts there is in it but you say

00:14:48.940 --> 00:14:50.980
like people will say like i'm i'm only on act

00:14:50.980 --> 00:14:53.580
two and i've put 50 hours in so there's obviously

00:14:53.580 --> 00:14:55.860
a lot going on in the game yeah yeah i wonder

00:14:55.860 --> 00:14:59.460
but i just hope it ain't like valhalla where

00:14:59.460 --> 00:15:01.639
the map's just it's just massive it's just too

00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.480
much yeah i don't i don't think that they went

00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.840
down that route uh it says I won't tell you the

00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:11.799
time it takes to actually complete the game itself,

00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:13.960
but it says if you were... I'm not bothered.

00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:17.639
It says about 30 to 40 hours to complete, which

00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:19.820
is a decent chunk. And it says with the game

00:15:19.820 --> 00:15:22.320
potentially lasting upwards of 80 hours if you

00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:26.019
engage with all the side content. For 100 % completion,

00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:29.340
players can expect to spend around 91 hours.

00:15:29.700 --> 00:15:33.600
Yeah. That's not bad. It says, yeah, 100 % completion,

00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.759
60 plus hours. it all depends what the trophies

00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.039
are to be honest because on some games you can

00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:44.759
put 50 hours in to the main story and then you've

00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:47.059
only got to do 4 hours to platinum it and then

00:15:47.059 --> 00:15:48.279
you've got other games like that that could put

00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:51.440
30 hours in to the story and then the next 60

00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:53.960
hours are just boring shit just getting collectibles

00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:56.019
yeah because I was telling Steph wasn't one of

00:15:56.019 --> 00:15:59.820
the Red Dead ones was the pelts yeah and freestyle

00:15:59.820 --> 00:16:02.039
pelts and was it fucking squirrels or something

00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:05.460
yeah that's what killed me I nearly put the controller

00:16:05.460 --> 00:16:07.879
through the fucking TV. I was on the edge for

00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.220
that game. Because it's annoying because it's

00:16:10.220 --> 00:16:12.059
definitely in my top five games of all time.

00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:14.879
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, when I started doing

00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:17.059
the online stuff, I thought this is bollocks.

00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:21.299
Because obviously GTA, the online is amazing.

00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:24.200
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was back in the day now.

00:16:24.259 --> 00:16:26.940
It's fucking boring. But yeah, and I went on

00:16:26.940 --> 00:16:28.879
Red Dead Online and I was just like, this just

00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:31.340
don't cut it. The story is a million times better.

00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:35.720
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, because there wasn't

00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:40.580
that much story on GTA Online's side of it. I

00:16:40.580 --> 00:16:42.139
know you had the heist and all of that, so that

00:16:42.139 --> 00:16:45.980
hyped up a lot. But I feel like Red Dead 2 Online

00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:49.460
is more like role -playing. I don't really know

00:16:49.460 --> 00:16:51.799
what the fuck you're supposed to do on that.

00:16:51.860 --> 00:16:54.620
No, see, that's what I played a lot. of online,

00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:57.120
but I didn't do anything story -based. Yeah,

00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:59.480
yeah, yeah. I just kind of was exploring, like

00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:01.120
I said, trying to get the pelts. Yeah, yeah.

00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:02.860
I don't even know how many hours I put into that.

00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:06.220
So were the pelts in the online? Yeah. Oh, see,

00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:07.799
I thought... As far as I remember, yeah, I could

00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:10.240
be completely wrong here, but... I thought the

00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:13.619
pelts were in part of the main campaign. I want

00:17:13.619 --> 00:17:15.279
to see what it is. Yeah, have a look, because

00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:17.720
you know what my memory's like and stuff. Dead

00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:20.500
Redemption 2. I'm just going to type in pelt

00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:25.430
trophy. Pelt. But I remember one of these. Skin

00:17:25.430 --> 00:17:27.750
deep trophies? One of them's like level 50 on

00:17:27.750 --> 00:17:29.950
fighting online and there isn't really a lot

00:17:29.950 --> 00:17:32.230
to do apart from basically like a team death

00:17:32.230 --> 00:17:36.309
match over and over again. Is it? It's not this

00:17:36.309 --> 00:17:38.730
one. Skin every species of animal in story mode.

00:17:39.509 --> 00:17:42.769
That's not that one. No, I didn't even attempt

00:17:42.769 --> 00:17:46.430
that. That was one of the other trophies I had

00:17:46.430 --> 00:17:48.809
to get. That's really long. Because you're looking

00:17:48.809 --> 00:17:51.819
at like 100 species at least. And you're in a

00:17:51.819 --> 00:17:53.480
massive map and trying to find them in these

00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:58.299
areas was just a joke. Pelt trophies. Perfect

00:17:58.299 --> 00:18:02.180
pelts are essential for certain trophies, specifically

00:18:02.180 --> 00:18:11.880
Skin Deep and Zoologist. Let's have a look. I

00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:16.180
don't want to know how to do it. I just want

00:18:16.180 --> 00:18:19.430
to know what that trophy is. Can you only complete

00:18:19.430 --> 00:18:21.009
an alternative during the epilogue? Some of the

00:18:21.009 --> 00:18:23.089
animals won't be easy to alternative. What does

00:18:23.089 --> 00:18:32.230
it say? How to get a perfect... Perfect pelt.

00:18:33.970 --> 00:18:35.130
Fucking hell, I didn't think it would be this

00:18:35.130 --> 00:18:37.609
hard to find a... Well, I'm just going on the

00:18:37.609 --> 00:18:39.049
PlayStation app. I might as well scroll back

00:18:39.049 --> 00:18:40.869
and see what trophies I didn't actually get.

00:18:42.549 --> 00:18:46.589
Perfect pelt weapon guide. Animals over 40 pounds

00:18:46.589 --> 00:18:48.690
or so need to be killed with a rifle for a perfect

00:18:48.690 --> 00:18:50.569
pelt. This is probably the largest category since

00:18:50.569 --> 00:18:56.349
it makes up deers. Yeah, so I mean it probably

00:18:56.349 --> 00:19:00.829
helps if I just type in zoologist trophy. Zoologist.

00:19:02.369 --> 00:19:07.069
Here we go. Oh no, study every animal across

00:19:07.069 --> 00:19:09.130
all states in story mode. So maybe it was the

00:19:09.130 --> 00:19:10.549
one where you just got to skin them but you need

00:19:10.549 --> 00:19:13.640
to get perfect pelts. Yeah, maybe you're right.

00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:17.579
Maybe it was offline. I can't actually remember.

00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.640
Still, very fucking annoying. Yeah, it was ridiculous.

00:19:23.259 --> 00:19:27.380
Because how is that animal... animal list? Here

00:19:27.380 --> 00:19:31.740
we go. Fucking hell. There's over 100, I'm pretty

00:19:31.740 --> 00:19:37.160
sure. Yeah. Jesus. How many fucking... Jesus

00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:42.670
Christ. What was that like? Welcome to all legendary

00:19:42.670 --> 00:19:45.930
animals and legendary fish. Matt, did fish count

00:19:45.930 --> 00:19:48.849
in the... Yeah, I collected all the legendary

00:19:48.849 --> 00:19:56.109
fish. That wasn't too bad, to be fair. 235! Is

00:19:56.109 --> 00:20:00.369
that how much there is, yeah? 235! It's serious,

00:20:00.529 --> 00:20:06.490
man. This is serious. And you have to skin 30

00:20:06.490 --> 00:20:10.819
of the same animal. Animal. Every species. 30

00:20:10.819 --> 00:20:14.839
times. Is that what it is, yeah? Yeah. That's

00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:18.779
what it says. Skin deep. That's what... I thought

00:20:18.779 --> 00:20:21.759
you just had to skin 30 different species. Hold

00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:25.180
on. Skin deep is what it was called. Because

00:20:25.180 --> 00:20:27.619
I'm pretty sure it said there's 200 different

00:20:27.619 --> 00:20:29.940
animals, but obviously some of them are the same

00:20:29.940 --> 00:20:32.059
species, so there's only 30 species on there.

00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:35.279
It says... Oh, this one's just skin every species

00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:38.619
of animal in story mode. That's still a lot though.

00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:40.240
Oh yeah, still a hell of a lot. I don't even

00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:45.319
get close to it. That's still fucking 235 animals.

00:20:46.819 --> 00:20:51.359
Even the different categories. American alligator.

00:20:51.700 --> 00:20:54.779
A small American alligator. A legendary bull

00:20:54.779 --> 00:20:59.700
gator. Black bear. Grizzly bear. Legendary fucking

00:20:59.700 --> 00:21:04.380
grizzly bear. How do you... Fucking hell. Yeah,

00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:07.559
I don't think I even had half. And you've got

00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.579
to skin all of them. Yeah. Jesus Christ. And

00:21:11.579 --> 00:21:13.339
the fish as well. I bet the fish are one of the

00:21:13.339 --> 00:21:15.680
most annoying ones to do. Fishing ain't too bad

00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.140
on the game, to be fair. No? It is quite relaxing.

00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:21.099
I bet the chickens fucking... Fuck me, the chickens.

00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:24.220
Dominique chicken, Java chicken, leghorn chicken,

00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:27.299
leghorn rooster, Java rooster, Dominique rooster.

00:21:27.380 --> 00:21:28.059
They're really easy to kill, but yeah, you've

00:21:28.059 --> 00:21:29.940
just got to find them. Greater prairie chicken.

00:21:30.420 --> 00:21:34.539
Fuck me. They all look exactly the same as well.

00:21:34.700 --> 00:21:41.880
Yeah. Oh, my God. Crab. Fucking crab. Yes, it's

00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:47.579
great, isn't it? A land crab. Do you ever think

00:21:47.579 --> 00:21:49.460
that you will get it done? No, I'm never going

00:21:49.460 --> 00:21:53.700
back to that game. As much as I love it, I've

00:21:53.700 --> 00:21:55.720
got no reason to ever go back and try it. It's

00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:59.519
just done. Completely done. It killed me. I'm

00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:02.359
pretty sure after that game is when I took my

00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:05.599
break from gaming. Because I put a lot of hours

00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:07.420
into it. I think it was, you know. I think it

00:22:07.420 --> 00:22:11.480
was. Yeah. I think it was about 150 hours altogether,

00:22:11.619 --> 00:22:15.960
but I put easily that within a month. You were

00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:18.059
playing that a lot. A lot, yeah. That was a hell

00:22:18.059 --> 00:22:20.660
of a lot. That was fucking wake up, go to work,

00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:23.920
come home, red dead. Yeah. And obviously, you

00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:26.319
know, I've had a good few stints out of the game

00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:27.880
in the last few years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I dip

00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:31.940
in and out. So when I commit, it's all in. You've

00:22:31.940 --> 00:22:35.079
got to skin the fucking poodles as well. It's

00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:38.380
just everything. Rufus. So you've got to kill

00:22:38.380 --> 00:22:40.539
someone's dog. That's great. Siberian husky.

00:22:41.339 --> 00:22:44.140
Literally anything that isn't human and moves.

00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:47.859
Skin it. Yeah. Fucking skin it. But yeah, getting

00:22:47.859 --> 00:22:51.920
them little animal freestyle pelts for... It

00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:54.799
wasn't for that trophy actually. I do remember

00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:57.400
what it is. You have to do like a squirrel statue

00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:00.460
or something for a trophy. Right, okay. And there's...

00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:03.440
I can't remember exactly what they were, but

00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:07.779
there was like a... Squirrel statue, here we

00:23:07.779 --> 00:23:10.500
go. Yeah, have you got it on there? Squirrel

00:23:10.500 --> 00:23:14.279
statue locations. You get the statue as a gift

00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:16.940
for completing all of the hunter requests. That's

00:23:16.940 --> 00:23:20.180
it, the hunter requests. For Ms. Hobbs, you can

00:23:20.180 --> 00:23:24.660
find in a challenge. Yeah. Okay, so... So it's

00:23:24.660 --> 00:23:25.859
basically, you know, like on there, you've got

00:23:25.859 --> 00:23:27.299
like the wanted post and that. It's just basically

00:23:27.299 --> 00:23:29.359
a post on a wall. Of a squirrel? You collect

00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:31.539
it, and then it'll give you a list of animals

00:23:31.539 --> 00:23:33.819
that you've got to go and get perfect pelts for.

00:23:34.220 --> 00:23:37.039
And that was for the trophy? And I did, yeah,

00:23:37.220 --> 00:23:39.220
I did the first few challenges, and then, yeah,

00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:41.220
there was, I can't remember, I think it was a

00:23:41.220 --> 00:23:43.599
squirrel, and you had to get a freestyle pelt,

00:23:43.619 --> 00:23:46.440
and you could only do it with one weapon, and

00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:49.220
it had to be a headshot, and trying to find them

00:23:49.220 --> 00:23:52.220
was just impossible. It's art is the achievement.

00:23:53.619 --> 00:23:57.160
Is that find? Find a permanent home for the squirrel

00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:00.680
statue. That's it, yeah. Yeah, secret. So yeah,

00:24:00.700 --> 00:24:03.819
just to get a squirrel statue, you've got to

00:24:03.819 --> 00:24:06.579
put fucking hours in of just killing. Out of

00:24:06.579 --> 00:24:14.400
14 ,433 tracked gamers, only 2 % have done the

00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:17.859
achievement. Yeah, so the overall platinum is

00:24:17.859 --> 00:24:22.440
0 .1. That's mental. I would love to get one.

00:24:23.190 --> 00:24:26.990
My best is steep, which is 0 .2. Steep's a 0

00:24:26.990 --> 00:24:28.789
.2 on the... Yeah, it's not that hard to do,

00:24:28.829 --> 00:24:37.869
to be fair. Hardest platinum trophy... Yeah,

00:24:38.430 --> 00:24:40.069
you want to look at the lowest rarity, that's

00:24:40.069 --> 00:24:41.990
probably what will show you what the hardest

00:24:41.990 --> 00:24:45.690
ones are. I have, I say, rarest platinum... Because

00:24:45.690 --> 00:24:47.430
another one I was trying to do was Tony Hawk,

00:24:47.569 --> 00:24:51.920
and that's a 0 .1 as well. I got stuck on that

00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:57.119
as well and gave up. PSN profiles. We are the

00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:02.640
PlayStation's rarest trophies. Here we go. Dead

00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:09.079
Nation Apocalypse Edition. Which trophies out

00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:13.259
there are owned by 0 .1 % of players. So that

00:25:13.259 --> 00:25:21.740
one. Don't Starve Platinum. Killzone Shadow Fall.

00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:26.240
Obtain all Killzone Shadow Fall trophies. Is

00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:33.079
in the 0 .1 % Madden NFL 25 Platinum. That might

00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:36.220
be because it's quite new. Yeah. Rayman Legends.

00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:38.700
Rayman does obviously go up and down quite a

00:25:38.700 --> 00:25:40.960
lot. Yeah. But in some games it just does stick

00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:47.440
at 0 .1%. 41 hard PS5 trophy lists. They're fascinating.

00:25:48.529 --> 00:25:53.710
It's just the commitment to be able to do it.

00:25:53.910 --> 00:25:58.250
Because what I really struggle with is kind of

00:25:58.250 --> 00:26:02.049
like once I... I think that's why I get on so

00:26:02.049 --> 00:26:04.369
well with something like WoW is because you just

00:26:04.369 --> 00:26:06.930
can't complete it. So the goalpost is always

00:26:06.930 --> 00:26:11.049
moving. But I feel like any other game, once

00:26:11.049 --> 00:26:13.390
I've finished the main story... Would you not

00:26:13.390 --> 00:26:16.160
feel satisfied? I'm done. Just to fully complete

00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:18.180
a game, to say that you've actually 100 % of

00:26:18.180 --> 00:26:21.200
the game. I'd like to think so, yeah, but at

00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:22.759
the same time, obviously not, because I've never

00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:25.359
done it. Because I get that as well from games,

00:26:25.460 --> 00:26:29.180
that I'm getting the most out of it. Do you know

00:26:29.180 --> 00:26:31.160
what I mean? Like, I've finished the story, but...

00:26:31.500 --> 00:26:33.420
You want more from the gamers. Obviously, games

00:26:33.420 --> 00:26:35.900
bring out DLC and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah.

00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:38.559
Weird, weird brain. Because you miss out. You

00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:40.839
miss out on a lot of stuff. I know, I know. Like

00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:45.099
Expedition 33, latest game that I finished, there's

00:26:45.099 --> 00:26:50.180
a shitload of stuff in the open map that I can

00:26:50.180 --> 00:26:52.940
now explore and shit that's still locked that

00:26:52.940 --> 00:26:55.480
I can't go to yet. So, obviously, what I've got

00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:58.079
to do to unlock it is optional because I've completed

00:26:58.079 --> 00:27:02.240
the campaign. There's a big part of me that's

00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:04.299
like, I still want to go and see all of that

00:27:04.299 --> 00:27:06.240
because I really like the game. There's also

00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:07.960
a massive part of me that's like, oh, thank God

00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:12.079
it's done. The campaign's done. The main part

00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:14.259
of this game is done. Everything else is optional,

00:27:14.339 --> 00:27:15.960
so therefore I don't have to fucking do it. Let

00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:18.049
me move on to the next one. No, I do get it.

00:27:18.089 --> 00:27:20.289
Which is just weird. It's a catch -22 for you,

00:27:20.329 --> 00:27:21.589
isn't it? Because you want to enjoy the game,

00:27:21.650 --> 00:27:23.769
but at the same time, you run a podcast, so you've

00:27:23.769 --> 00:27:25.509
got... I want to move on to the next thing. Yeah,

00:27:25.509 --> 00:27:27.950
you've got to keep up with what's going on. Kind

00:27:27.950 --> 00:27:29.710
of. Because you can't come on here every week

00:27:29.710 --> 00:27:31.410
and talk about the same game over and over again,

00:27:31.529 --> 00:27:34.150
because... Believe me, we can. Well, yeah, you

00:27:34.150 --> 00:27:38.420
fucking do. I'm sick of it. That'll be another

00:27:38.420 --> 00:27:41.380
one of Expedition for 33 when Ash comes back

00:27:41.380 --> 00:27:44.339
before we talk about it being completed. Yeah,

00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:48.799
something like Elden Ring for you. How many times

00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.240
have you completed that game? Six, seven times,

00:27:52.500 --> 00:27:54.400
something like that. That's probably one of the

00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:57.380
only games that's made me go, yeah, no, play

00:27:57.380 --> 00:28:00.460
that again. Because any other game where, because

00:28:00.460 --> 00:28:02.819
Expedition has it where it says New Game Plus.

00:28:02.940 --> 00:28:05.190
I ain't fucking interested. nah I've got it with

00:28:05.190 --> 00:28:06.730
Ghost of Shima it gives you the option I can't

00:28:06.730 --> 00:28:09.509
be arsed I'll finish it off and then that's it

00:28:09.509 --> 00:28:11.130
you go you get to keep all your stuff but do

00:28:11.130 --> 00:28:13.230
it all again but it's harder nah I'm sweet I

00:28:13.230 --> 00:28:15.230
can't be arsed I don't think I've ever done it

00:28:15.230 --> 00:28:18.369
apart from say Last of Us Part 2 because you

00:28:18.369 --> 00:28:20.130
have to do New Game Plus to get the platinum

00:28:20.130 --> 00:28:22.490
that's such a bastard that is yeah you have to

00:28:22.490 --> 00:28:24.150
play through like half the story again that's

00:28:24.150 --> 00:28:27.789
a cunt but yeah Elden Ring was the one and only

00:28:27.789 --> 00:28:30.069
game where I've sat there and gone yeah let me

00:28:30.069 --> 00:28:33.539
let me do that again but I think that was I think

00:28:33.539 --> 00:28:35.759
that was mainly because of how fucking hard the

00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:37.819
bosses were. And I was like, all right, well,

00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:41.839
let me see how hard they are now. And then, because

00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:44.759
like the first, the first playthrough of that,

00:28:44.859 --> 00:28:49.799
I think that took me like 50, 60 hours. Yeah.

00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:52.099
Something like that. Maybe even more. I remember

00:28:52.099 --> 00:28:55.400
them days. And then the second playthrough, six

00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:58.559
hours. Yeah. Took me to do that. Because I just

00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:00.799
beelined the bosses. There was no need for me

00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.900
to go back. I mean, you can go back on New Game

00:29:04.900 --> 00:29:06.839
Plus and get the weapons again. And then that's

00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:10.079
how you get duplicates of certain weapons. But

00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:13.059
there wasn't really a massive need for me to

00:29:13.059 --> 00:29:16.039
do that. But yeah, six times. Because it was

00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:18.119
just getting faster and faster and faster. Because

00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:22.480
it got to a point where I had maxed out everything.

00:29:23.049 --> 00:29:25.490
that was on there, all of my stats. So I was

00:29:25.490 --> 00:29:29.549
free to do whatever the fuck I wanted. So the

00:29:29.549 --> 00:29:34.970
scaling sort of went a bit shit because I was

00:29:34.970 --> 00:29:40.029
like, it can't get any harder or I can't get

00:29:40.029 --> 00:29:43.150
any more powerful than I'm already at. So I'm

00:29:43.150 --> 00:29:44.910
just fucking wailing for everything. Do you not

00:29:44.910 --> 00:29:46.910
think that you're missing out on stuff though?

00:29:47.390 --> 00:29:49.630
What, in Elden Ring? Yeah, say like, because

00:29:49.630 --> 00:29:51.390
obviously like I say, if you go through to 100

00:29:51.390 --> 00:29:54.069
% a game. In any game, really, you always find

00:29:54.069 --> 00:29:57.069
different weapons and stuff like that. Because

00:29:57.069 --> 00:29:58.789
obviously I've never played Elden Ring. I don't

00:29:58.789 --> 00:30:01.289
really know how it all works. Elden Ring's massive.

00:30:01.329 --> 00:30:03.109
There must be loads of weapons out there. There's

00:30:03.109 --> 00:30:05.349
loads. You've never acted. Loads of shit. Loads

00:30:05.349 --> 00:30:08.730
of secrets. I'm pretty sure there's still a secret

00:30:08.730 --> 00:30:11.589
in Elden Ring to this day that hasn't been discovered

00:30:11.589 --> 00:30:14.670
yet. There's still shit that people have. I mean,

00:30:14.690 --> 00:30:17.170
fuck me, there's a door, an invisible wall, where

00:30:17.170 --> 00:30:19.569
you have to hit it a hundred times for it to

00:30:19.569 --> 00:30:22.680
open up. Yeah, I've seen videos of people falling

00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:24.759
from the map and all of a sudden you're in a

00:30:24.759 --> 00:30:27.480
new area. But it doesn't look like anything.

00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:31.660
It's not like you're in a cave and then there's

00:30:31.660 --> 00:30:34.099
just a bit of wood over a section and you think,

00:30:34.140 --> 00:30:36.420
all right, well, that must be a doorway. It's

00:30:36.420 --> 00:30:40.000
just a bog standard room with a bog standard

00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:42.460
wall. Yeah, how the fuck does anyone know to

00:30:42.460 --> 00:30:45.500
hit that? Because you literally just had people

00:30:45.500 --> 00:30:48.779
spending hours just hitting shit because that's

00:30:48.779 --> 00:30:52.900
a... It's weird for me because I entered the

00:30:52.900 --> 00:30:57.259
world of Soulsborne games, first played Bloodborne,

00:30:57.359 --> 00:30:59.839
was shit at it, never completed it. Yeah, I remember

00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:01.500
when you got me to play it, it lasted about 10

00:31:01.500 --> 00:31:05.359
minutes. Not for us. So went away from that.

00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:10.339
So then my actual proper introduction into that

00:31:10.339 --> 00:31:14.059
was Elden Ring. So I'd missed a whole load of

00:31:14.059 --> 00:31:20.079
shit before. So there's lore and... the way the

00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:24.099
games are made and shit that's so intrinsic in

00:31:24.099 --> 00:31:26.339
every single one like iteration of the of the

00:31:26.339 --> 00:31:29.799
genre so there's shit that people know like hitting

00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:32.640
walls because there might be false walls so people

00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:34.720
started playing Elden Ring that were veterans

00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:38.500
in that genre knew to try out certain shit that

00:31:38.500 --> 00:31:40.359
might be working because it's worked in every

00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:43.880
single other game even down to the basics of

00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:47.670
when you roll you're invincible Yeah, but I still

00:31:47.670 --> 00:31:49.329
don't get it though because the maps ain't small.

00:31:50.269 --> 00:31:51.650
Nah. Do you know what I mean? It's like you're

00:31:51.650 --> 00:31:54.329
going in an open world and just hitting a tree.

00:31:54.490 --> 00:31:55.970
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It doesn't make any sense.

00:31:55.970 --> 00:31:57.710
That is literally what it is. The map's fucking

00:31:57.710 --> 00:32:00.210
huge. Because obviously you can have different

00:32:00.210 --> 00:32:04.190
emotes and shit like that where you've got your

00:32:04.190 --> 00:32:06.089
basic ones and then you can find loads of other

00:32:06.089 --> 00:32:08.589
ones that just make you do like a slew or fucking

00:32:08.589 --> 00:32:13.609
whatever. T -pose. There's like statues and shit.

00:32:13.930 --> 00:32:16.630
where you have to do a specific emote in front

00:32:16.630 --> 00:32:18.430
of it and then it'll open up a door or it'll

00:32:18.430 --> 00:32:21.329
give you something or whatever. It's very clever.

00:32:21.490 --> 00:32:25.369
There's so much shit. Or even like the quest

00:32:25.369 --> 00:32:27.670
because there's not traditional quests where

00:32:27.670 --> 00:32:29.470
someone fucking asks you to do something and

00:32:29.470 --> 00:32:31.150
then boom, it pops up in your quest log and this

00:32:31.150 --> 00:32:33.910
is your objective, blah, blah, blah. It's literally,

00:32:34.009 --> 00:32:37.250
here's a dialogue. They've given you something

00:32:37.250 --> 00:32:40.640
or asked you to get something. Go away. yeah

00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:43.259
and then try and then just try and piece it together

00:32:43.259 --> 00:32:49.200
what's going on and i think for me where where

00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:52.559
elden ring was so fucking mainstream when it

00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:55.140
come out it was like mental and i know you're

00:32:55.140 --> 00:32:59.500
not on it but tiktok was fucking mega for elden

00:32:59.500 --> 00:33:02.059
ring edits and and anything to do with elden

00:33:02.059 --> 00:33:04.640
ring it was just flooded for weeks with just

00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:09.559
elden ring so i was playing the game massively

00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:12.220
enjoying it doing the shit that i was wanting

00:33:12.220 --> 00:33:15.619
to do and finding my own things out but also

00:33:15.619 --> 00:33:18.680
through tiktok i was seeing a lot of shit yeah

00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:20.400
it ruins it a little bit doesn't it a little

00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:23.460
bit i was i was avoiding a lot of spoilers um

00:33:23.460 --> 00:33:28.980
but the the secret stuff was and i found some

00:33:28.980 --> 00:33:32.119
secret stuff on my own or not secret but stuff

00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:35.539
that i wouldn't have found without having to

00:33:35.539 --> 00:33:40.930
look it up So everything else, I don't really

00:33:40.930 --> 00:33:43.890
feel like I missed out because I'd seen it through

00:33:43.890 --> 00:33:46.809
someone else doing it, whether it be a streamer

00:33:46.809 --> 00:33:49.430
or whatever. Yeah, see, that's weird to me. I'd

00:33:49.430 --> 00:33:51.710
like to do it myself. Yeah. There is obviously

00:33:51.710 --> 00:33:53.569
trophies and stuff like that you have to look

00:33:53.569 --> 00:33:55.069
up because you think, like, fucking Eldritch

00:33:55.069 --> 00:33:57.369
is taking me forever. But the thing is, I think

00:33:57.369 --> 00:33:59.569
when you're playing a game like Elden Ring, it's...

00:33:59.569 --> 00:34:03.309
If you die, it's just such a fucker. It's so

00:34:03.309 --> 00:34:05.779
annoying. You lose all your fucking souls, like

00:34:05.779 --> 00:34:08.440
your currency to level up. You've got to go and

00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:11.380
get that back. All the enemies respawn. It's

00:34:11.380 --> 00:34:14.360
just fucking, it's a pain in the ass. And especially

00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:16.559
when you're just starting out, it's such a slog

00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:19.739
to get. Some of the clips I've got where, well,

00:34:19.780 --> 00:34:22.099
like my health bar's minuscule. Now, if I log

00:34:22.099 --> 00:34:23.760
into it, the health bar's from one end of the

00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:25.820
screen to the fucking other. It's just huge.

00:34:25.980 --> 00:34:29.119
Whereas when you first start, it's nothing. And

00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:31.480
you're hitting people for fuck all. And there's

00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:36.340
a clip of me where, I was in like a castle and

00:34:36.340 --> 00:34:38.739
I was struggling to get through a load of these

00:34:38.739 --> 00:34:42.219
people. And then I eventually made it through

00:34:42.219 --> 00:34:44.539
everyone. And it was the furthest that I'd got

00:34:44.539 --> 00:34:46.659
in this castle. I stepped out of like a hole

00:34:46.659 --> 00:34:51.300
in a wall to like a walkway. And then some geezer

00:34:51.300 --> 00:34:53.340
just fucking dropped down on me, hit me and knocked

00:34:53.340 --> 00:34:55.920
me off and I died. and I was fuming that's why

00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:58.099
I can't play them games I was absolutely fuming

00:34:58.099 --> 00:35:00.280
because then obviously everything that I've just

00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:02.340
battled through has all come back I was like

00:35:02.340 --> 00:35:06.699
oh fuck you know it's just when you're when you're

00:35:06.699 --> 00:35:08.900
trying to play a game like that it's so completely

00:35:08.900 --> 00:35:11.519
different to any other game that you will ever

00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:15.099
play because it isn't like you can't just hack

00:35:15.099 --> 00:35:16.760
and slash everything especially not at the beginning

00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:18.960
because you're going to get fucked even now if

00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:21.940
I was to go on it now being as powerful as I

00:35:21.940 --> 00:35:25.269
am You can still get fucked up by a dog that's

00:35:25.269 --> 00:35:28.630
just walking past. Yeah, so I remember that dog

00:35:28.630 --> 00:35:30.630
at the start of Bloodborne. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:35:30.630 --> 00:35:33.769
They'll just fuck you up. And it's the worst

00:35:33.769 --> 00:35:36.590
enemies out of all of them that, for me, in Elden

00:35:36.590 --> 00:35:39.929
Ring, were these fucking eagles, these harpy

00:35:39.929 --> 00:35:43.969
things. And they were eagles, and they had these

00:35:43.969 --> 00:35:48.389
sharp metal talons. And it was their moveset

00:35:48.389 --> 00:35:51.250
was so fucking annoying. Because it was sort

00:35:51.250 --> 00:35:53.389
of like they would swoop down and go to attack

00:35:53.389 --> 00:35:56.469
you. And if you clocked them first, you were

00:35:56.469 --> 00:35:59.150
sweet. You'd be able to stun them and then kill

00:35:59.150 --> 00:36:00.230
them because they didn't have that much health.

00:36:00.570 --> 00:36:02.730
But if they managed to land an attack on you,

00:36:02.809 --> 00:36:06.230
it was just a flurry of fucking attacks that

00:36:06.230 --> 00:36:09.309
would sort of stun you a little bit. So trying

00:36:09.309 --> 00:36:12.510
to avoid them. And it was never one. It was always

00:36:12.510 --> 00:36:14.170
like three or four of the fucking things. And

00:36:14.170 --> 00:36:16.309
they're just fucking at you constantly. I hated

00:36:16.309 --> 00:36:18.670
them. All the things. That's the thing as well,

00:36:18.670 --> 00:36:20.230
though. Everything kills you on the game. Everything.

00:36:20.570 --> 00:36:23.190
I hate that. You can't enjoy it. There's no moment

00:36:23.190 --> 00:36:25.789
to enjoy the game. No. Anything and everything

00:36:25.789 --> 00:36:28.210
will kill you. But I also feel like that's the

00:36:28.210 --> 00:36:34.550
thing that makes it so, so good. Yeah, it's got

00:36:34.550 --> 00:36:38.630
to be satisfying. Yeah. That clip of me killing

00:36:38.630 --> 00:36:44.449
that boss, Melania, which was an optional boss,

00:36:44.630 --> 00:36:48.130
was nothing to do with the campaign at all. And

00:36:48.130 --> 00:36:52.179
you had to traverse through this. fucking hive

00:36:52.179 --> 00:36:55.059
of enemies and i actually watched her because

00:36:55.059 --> 00:36:56.739
i'd finished the campaign and i was like i need

00:36:56.739 --> 00:36:58.780
to go and fucking kill her because it's all i

00:36:58.780 --> 00:37:01.059
was seeing was she's the hardest boss in the

00:37:01.059 --> 00:37:04.820
in the game um and i actually got a youtube video

00:37:04.820 --> 00:37:09.199
up first found where she was like the area tried

00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:13.280
to get through this fucking maze of just enemies

00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:17.019
and different levels of of whatever the fuck

00:37:17.019 --> 00:37:20.840
it was And I couldn't. And then I watched a YouTube

00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:22.860
video and it was just a geezer that had found

00:37:22.860 --> 00:37:25.460
the most direct route where you could just run

00:37:25.460 --> 00:37:27.719
and skip everything. And I just did that. I was

00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:31.800
like, just get me to this fucking boss. And yeah,

00:37:31.860 --> 00:37:35.000
when I beat her, that was fucking... There's

00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:37.619
a clip of me just screaming. Just going mental.

00:37:37.940 --> 00:37:40.840
Just fucking... It is satisfying because obviously

00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:43.530
the closest I've got is Blackmuth Wukong. Yeah,

00:37:43.610 --> 00:37:45.510
yeah, yeah. I don't know why I picked it up.

00:37:45.690 --> 00:37:46.829
Yeah, Black Myth Wukong would be... Because I've

00:37:46.829 --> 00:37:48.570
never had any interest in any of that sort of

00:37:48.570 --> 00:37:51.550
games. Is that technically a Soulsborne? People

00:37:51.550 --> 00:37:55.250
could obviously make the list of what's hard

00:37:55.250 --> 00:37:56.730
and that, don't they? And they say that Black

00:37:56.730 --> 00:37:59.110
Myth Wukong's a piece of piss compared to Souls

00:37:59.110 --> 00:38:02.150
-like games. But obviously for me, it's fucking

00:38:02.150 --> 00:38:04.929
impossible. It says, why are so many people saying

00:38:04.929 --> 00:38:07.050
Black Myth Wukong is not a Souls -like when it

00:38:07.050 --> 00:38:11.900
so clearly is? Dev said it isn't a Souls -like.

00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:14.059
They don't want to be compared to Souls -like.

00:38:14.619 --> 00:38:16.980
Someone said just because the dev said that doesn't

00:38:16.980 --> 00:38:22.159
mean it's true. Souls -like is a vague term of

00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:26.559
a growing and relatively new sub -genre. Bonfires,

00:38:26.599 --> 00:38:28.619
which you level up and heal at, which resets

00:38:28.619 --> 00:38:33.980
enemies. Black Myth's enemies don't reset. No.

00:38:34.019 --> 00:38:37.039
They didn't reset, no? No. No, because a lot

00:38:37.039 --> 00:38:39.559
of the time, well, obviously you can die to anything

00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:42.420
as well, but the main time you die is on the

00:38:42.420 --> 00:38:44.679
boss. So when you die, you just respawn and you're

00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:46.280
at the boss. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're not

00:38:46.280 --> 00:38:48.619
really coming up against anything. They're pretty

00:38:48.619 --> 00:38:50.800
generous with the checkpoints, in all fairness.

00:38:51.019 --> 00:38:53.539
Yeah, maybe it isn't a Souls -like, but it's

00:38:53.539 --> 00:38:55.760
similar. It's similar to that. It's definitely

00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:57.179
fucking hard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't care

00:38:57.179 --> 00:38:59.019
what anyone says. I've played games for a long

00:38:59.019 --> 00:39:01.420
time and I'm not in the Souls -like world, but

00:39:01.420 --> 00:39:04.059
it's a difficult game. And I still haven't finished

00:39:04.059 --> 00:39:09.269
it. Let's see what, so what were the votes? So

00:39:09.269 --> 00:39:13.289
it had effortless so far, comfortably challenging,

00:39:13.610 --> 00:39:16.650
moderately tough, very difficult punching, just

00:39:16.650 --> 00:39:19.389
here for the results. And then it got voted overall

00:39:19.389 --> 00:39:22.730
moderately tough. Some challenges along the way,

00:39:22.769 --> 00:39:26.070
a few bosses required 10 to 20 attempts. Yeah,

00:39:26.110 --> 00:39:28.309
which is pretty standard. I don't think, minus

00:39:28.309 --> 00:39:31.289
one or two, I think the bulk of what I killed

00:39:31.289 --> 00:39:34.860
was between one and 10. So it's probably not

00:39:34.860 --> 00:39:37.239
that bad, but yeah, there is just some bosses

00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:39.559
on there that just drove me to the edge of smashing

00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:42.019
it up. Yeah, those are the good ones, though,

00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:46.079
when you finally get them. Yeah. I reckon I spent

00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:49.699
three or four hours on some of them. Yeah. It's

00:39:49.699 --> 00:39:54.900
the madness of it where I feel like we are probably

00:39:54.900 --> 00:39:59.079
the same with that type of stuff. I might be

00:39:59.079 --> 00:40:02.659
a little bit more stupid with it in that if something's

00:40:02.659 --> 00:40:06.019
hard, but doable, I'm just going to fucking keep

00:40:06.019 --> 00:40:08.099
doing it. I'm going to keep going and going and

00:40:08.099 --> 00:40:10.019
going. Yeah, see, I get like that and then I

00:40:10.019 --> 00:40:12.639
get to the edge with it and I'm just like, I'm

00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:15.019
done with it. Yeah, I just don't hit the edge.

00:40:15.099 --> 00:40:17.760
I know if I put it down and give it a couple

00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:19.480
of hours or the next day, I'll come back fresh.

00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:22.400
And it works. I don't know why, but it works.

00:40:22.460 --> 00:40:24.960
I just can't fucking... That level head just

00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:28.159
coming in, it just works. I think it's because

00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:31.159
I just get so wound up with it, so... so incredibly

00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:34.860
annoyed the DLC for what was that like Prime

00:40:34.860 --> 00:40:38.900
Consort Radan like 5 days or something yeah yeah

00:40:38.900 --> 00:40:41.739
5 days you were a miserable fucker then man 5

00:40:41.739 --> 00:40:44.460
days on one boss you were obsessed though like

00:40:44.460 --> 00:40:46.679
I'm obsessed I've never seen anything like it

00:40:46.679 --> 00:40:49.099
I cried when I killed him yeah that's gay one

00:40:49.099 --> 00:40:52.190
little tear that's gay one little tear I was

00:40:52.190 --> 00:40:54.610
so exhausted I was like it's done but that's

00:40:54.610 --> 00:40:56.389
all you spoke about at work that was literally

00:40:56.389 --> 00:40:59.150
what was on your mind from the minute you woke

00:40:59.150 --> 00:41:01.969
up till you went to sleep it was strange yeah

00:41:01.969 --> 00:41:06.710
that boss was yeah the thing that drove you to

00:41:06.710 --> 00:41:09.389
finish it was Ash doing it Ash doing it which

00:41:09.389 --> 00:41:11.530
is mental yeah I know you'd be the same if I'd

00:41:11.530 --> 00:41:13.550
do something it's pure jealousy yeah I got out

00:41:13.550 --> 00:41:15.690
of bed I was like and I think what got me more

00:41:15.690 --> 00:41:18.530
is that because it doesn't matter at all because

00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:21.619
completely different play styles completely different

00:41:21.619 --> 00:41:26.739
so like Ash struggled with with some bosses that

00:41:26.739 --> 00:41:29.300
I just fucking one banged and then vice versa

00:41:29.300 --> 00:41:31.659
there was somewhere I really struggled on Wukong

00:41:31.659 --> 00:41:34.260
in the community there was like people obviously

00:41:34.260 --> 00:41:35.800
when they finished it listed the hardest bosses

00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:38.599
and nine out of ten of their top ten I completed

00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:41.760
in like one or two attempts which is really weird

00:41:41.760 --> 00:41:43.539
because and I had the exact same thing where

00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:47.679
with Elden Ring seeing certain bosses from the

00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:49.980
base game and from the DLC and like everyone

00:41:49.980 --> 00:41:51.719
saying yeah this one's really fucking hard this

00:41:51.719 --> 00:41:53.659
one's really hard I was like oh fuck me and you

00:41:53.659 --> 00:41:55.900
only like catch a glimpse of them and then actually

00:41:55.900 --> 00:41:58.519
making it to those bosses in game and thinking

00:41:58.519 --> 00:42:01.679
oh shit like I know I know what I'm in for here

00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:04.159
and then just for a couple of hours of hell and

00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:05.739
then just walking through like well what the

00:42:05.739 --> 00:42:07.400
fuck is everyone whinging for and then there's

00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:10.559
and then there's just there's there's one boss

00:42:10.559 --> 00:42:14.409
on there which was the last boss that I beat,

00:42:14.510 --> 00:42:17.309
and then I switched it off. I was done. There's

00:42:17.309 --> 00:42:19.409
still bosses on the DLC that I haven't done.

00:42:19.789 --> 00:42:22.789
Will you ever go back? No. No, no chance. No.

00:42:23.250 --> 00:42:25.969
No, no, no. Optional bosses are left over. The

00:42:25.969 --> 00:42:28.269
last one I've done is called Commander Gaius.

00:42:29.130 --> 00:42:33.250
Weird name. G -A -I -U -S, I think. You read

00:42:33.250 --> 00:42:35.090
some of that, didn't you? A little bit of Gaius.

00:42:35.230 --> 00:42:39.949
And it's just a fucking... My mum. It's just...

00:42:42.259 --> 00:42:47.679
Shout out Jackie. It's just, it's a geezer. It's

00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:50.579
like a knight riding this massive boar thing.

00:42:51.579 --> 00:42:55.539
And I did kill him in the end. But that was probably

00:42:55.539 --> 00:42:58.880
the hardest boss out of the entire thing. And

00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:01.139
it was like a secret boss where you had to do

00:43:01.139 --> 00:43:03.260
a load of shit beforehand that no one would really

00:43:03.260 --> 00:43:05.340
know how to do. I had to watch a YouTube guide

00:43:05.340 --> 00:43:09.059
to actually find how to fucking get to him. And

00:43:09.059 --> 00:43:10.800
he was just a fucker because when you'd enter

00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:14.639
the boss room, you'd always have like maybe a

00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:18.179
couple of seconds to sort your shit out and then

00:43:18.179 --> 00:43:20.840
boom, let's crack on. But it was the minute you'd

00:43:20.840 --> 00:43:23.539
go through this gate, this fucking pig would

00:43:23.539 --> 00:43:25.920
just full sprint at you and then just knock you

00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:29.719
into the air and then you're fucked. And it was

00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:34.119
such an arsehole of a fight. Arsehole, I hated

00:43:34.119 --> 00:43:37.710
it. And that was... That was basically me straight

00:43:37.710 --> 00:43:41.489
after I'd done Radan. So I was already worn out

00:43:41.489 --> 00:43:45.190
and I killed this fucking boss after a couple

00:43:45.190 --> 00:43:47.989
of hours and I was like, I'm done. Yeah. It's

00:43:47.989 --> 00:43:50.090
like, I'm fucking, I'm done. Fully drained of

00:43:50.090 --> 00:43:51.570
it. Yeah. I was like, I've done exactly what

00:43:51.570 --> 00:43:53.269
I need. I've done the campaign. I've done exactly

00:43:53.269 --> 00:43:55.550
what I needed to do. I've done the fucking additional

00:43:55.550 --> 00:43:59.489
hardest boss. I'm done. No more of this. Switched

00:43:59.489 --> 00:44:00.710
it off. I was like, good night. See you later.

00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:02.820
Yeah, it's weird, isn't it? You're never going

00:44:02.820 --> 00:44:04.679
to pick it up again. Never going to touch it

00:44:04.679 --> 00:44:06.659
again. It was great. The worst part about it

00:44:06.659 --> 00:44:09.179
was obviously no one had really played Elden

00:44:09.179 --> 00:44:13.039
Ring for a while when the DLC come out. So everyone

00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:15.460
was rusty as fuck. Well, didn't you and Ash jump

00:44:15.460 --> 00:44:17.980
back on? Jump back on it just to fucking... Freshen

00:44:17.980 --> 00:44:19.860
up again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, because none

00:44:19.860 --> 00:44:22.119
of this... I mean, there was... I feel bad for

00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:25.320
the people because in order to get to the DLC,

00:44:25.380 --> 00:44:28.920
there was another optional boss called Moog.

00:44:29.699 --> 00:44:32.760
And... Big horrible bastard. I actually helped

00:44:32.760 --> 00:44:35.920
Ash kill him because he couldn't do it on his

00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:38.039
own because he just does this horrible move where

00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:41.480
he's got this big star thing and he slams it

00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:44.039
into the ground and then just this blood pours

00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:49.019
out from the sky and it just fucks everyone up.

00:44:49.159 --> 00:44:53.159
It's a cunt. Absolute cunt. And I helped him

00:44:53.159 --> 00:44:58.260
kill him. But you need to have him down. in order

00:44:58.260 --> 00:45:00.780
to access the DLC. And because he's optional,

00:45:01.059 --> 00:45:03.400
there would have been a shitload of people that

00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:05.940
would have got the DLC and just not have been

00:45:05.940 --> 00:45:07.360
able to go straight into it because they would

00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:09.719
have had to do this boss before. Yeah, and this

00:45:09.719 --> 00:45:12.059
boss was an arsehole. That's sadistic, you know.

00:45:12.239 --> 00:45:14.300
You can't just play the DLC and go and kill this

00:45:14.300 --> 00:45:15.260
guy. Yeah, you've got to go and kill a boss.

00:45:15.380 --> 00:45:18.119
A hard boss at that, not a fucking cakewalk of

00:45:18.119 --> 00:45:23.300
a boss. He's quite rough. Yeah, yeah. One of

00:45:23.300 --> 00:45:25.320
the best games I've ever played in my life. I

00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:26.960
might try it one day, but at the same time, I

00:45:26.960 --> 00:45:29.579
don't really want to put myself through it. It's

00:45:29.579 --> 00:45:31.940
just, I remember sitting there. I remember sitting

00:45:31.940 --> 00:45:35.699
there and ringing Ash. And I was like, I'm returning

00:45:35.699 --> 00:45:39.800
it. I'm done. you're bad like that with games

00:45:39.800 --> 00:45:41.539
though after a couple of hours one little thing

00:45:41.539 --> 00:45:44.079
that pisses you off I'm not enjoying this anymore

00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:46.380
fuck this we've played many games over the years

00:45:46.380 --> 00:45:47.880
and you're like well nah this game ain't that

00:45:47.880 --> 00:45:51.679
good it is it's just you've fucking you've died

00:45:51.679 --> 00:45:53.639
or something's pissed you off and you're like

00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:55.800
yeah I don't want to play this anymore it was

00:45:55.800 --> 00:45:58.519
like Wreckfest you just start taking people out

00:45:58.519 --> 00:46:00.719
instead I'm not going to play them I'm not going

00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:01.980
to fucking race anymore I think the last game

00:46:01.980 --> 00:46:05.199
was what was it Outlast Outlast Trials you got

00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:08.570
stuck on that one bit and he was like yeah I'm

00:46:08.570 --> 00:46:10.449
done with this I was sitting on there playing

00:46:10.449 --> 00:46:12.150
it with you and he was like yeah I'm done fuck

00:46:12.150 --> 00:46:14.909
this game deleted it it was done I hated it and

00:46:14.909 --> 00:46:16.650
we had such a laugh on that game Outlaws Trials

00:46:16.650 --> 00:46:18.469
was fantastic and they've done a lot of updates

00:46:18.469 --> 00:46:20.750
to that since as well you're not going back though

00:46:20.750 --> 00:46:23.789
don't fool yourself you're not going back because

00:46:23.789 --> 00:46:26.110
you've got to go back and do that trial and you're

00:46:26.110 --> 00:46:27.949
not going to do it you've got to turn it on get

00:46:27.949 --> 00:46:29.929
pissed off turn it off again me and Mark got

00:46:29.929 --> 00:46:33.969
Outlaws Trials and we're having an absolute blast

00:46:33.969 --> 00:46:38.440
playing that and there's this this level to escape

00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:41.699
the facility that you're in and it was just so

00:46:41.699 --> 00:46:45.980
so low level you gotta stealth it and there's

00:46:45.980 --> 00:46:49.039
just so much shit going on and i'm terrible with

00:46:49.039 --> 00:46:51.590
horror games I'm shit with them it's the funniest

00:46:51.590 --> 00:46:54.409
thing just listening to you scream I am so shit

00:46:54.409 --> 00:46:55.769
with them but playing them with someone else

00:46:55.769 --> 00:46:57.829
I can deal with but on my own I'm just so shit

00:46:57.829 --> 00:47:00.269
and it was exactly that I'm having to play a

00:47:00.269 --> 00:47:02.949
really hard level in a horror game oh yeah because

00:47:02.949 --> 00:47:04.889
obviously it's the only level on it you have

00:47:04.889 --> 00:47:07.849
to do it solo and I was just crumbling and yeah

00:47:07.849 --> 00:47:10.389
I think you's ruined it for me because you did

00:47:10.389 --> 00:47:13.530
it yeah because you started it before me because

00:47:13.530 --> 00:47:15.929
I just sucked all the fucking fun out of it you

00:47:15.929 --> 00:47:17.750
hate when Mark Madison does better than you don't

00:47:17.750 --> 00:47:22.880
you It's not fun anymore. I'm not the best. No.

00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:26.659
Yeah, you fucking smashed through it and I was

00:47:26.659 --> 00:47:29.380
like, I can't do it. What are you doing? It's

00:47:29.380 --> 00:47:30.579
my forte though, isn't it? I can't fucking do

00:47:30.579 --> 00:47:33.659
it. Horror games are my thing. Yeah, man. Yeah.

00:47:33.800 --> 00:47:36.219
That was a fucking fun game. Same with Dead by

00:47:36.219 --> 00:47:39.800
Daylight. Yeah. Another top draw game. I don't

00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:40.719
know why I stopped playing that. I still remember

00:47:40.719 --> 00:47:45.880
sitting there when we just couldn't get a queue.

00:47:47.009 --> 00:47:49.769
Yeah. For so long. Yeah, because back in the

00:47:49.769 --> 00:47:52.829
day, you couldn't join a party. You had to search

00:47:52.829 --> 00:47:54.449
for a game at the same time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:47:54.469 --> 00:47:55.650
And hopefully you got put in the same lobby.

00:47:55.750 --> 00:47:58.110
And back in the day, its player count was so...

00:47:58.110 --> 00:48:00.769
I'm amazed that it's still going. It's still

00:48:00.769 --> 00:48:02.710
very popular as well. Yeah, it's done very well

00:48:02.710 --> 00:48:04.769
now, but at the time when we were playing it,

00:48:04.909 --> 00:48:09.030
you could not... We'd sit in a queue, matchmaking

00:48:09.030 --> 00:48:11.510
for half an hour. Well, you've got to think,

00:48:11.550 --> 00:48:13.760
it had been out on PC for... I don't know how

00:48:13.760 --> 00:48:15.679
many years, say five years, and then it comes

00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:18.780
to PlayStation. So all the players were PC. Yeah,

00:48:18.800 --> 00:48:21.539
yeah. So it was just, you couldn't get, I remember

00:48:21.539 --> 00:48:23.300
showing Steph, I was like, oh yeah, me and Mark

00:48:23.300 --> 00:48:26.300
play Rocket League and we play Dead by Daylight

00:48:26.300 --> 00:48:29.400
all the time. And then trying to show her the

00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:31.199
gameplay and I just couldn't get into a game.

00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:33.900
No. Nothing would load. Everyone wanted to be

00:48:33.900 --> 00:48:35.659
the killer as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're

00:48:35.659 --> 00:48:38.019
loading a survivor. No one wants to be a survivor.

00:48:38.019 --> 00:48:40.059
You're just on your own. Yeah. So, and then,

00:48:40.219 --> 00:48:43.280
and then I don't know what happened to it. I

00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:44.820
think it's because they brought out cross -play.

00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:47.280
Because obviously there was a period where me

00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:49.239
and you kept going on and we was only getting

00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:51.860
put with PC players every time. And for some

00:48:51.860 --> 00:48:54.579
reason, they're meant to be the elite and they

00:48:54.579 --> 00:48:57.199
were all so shit. The worst fucking players.

00:48:57.300 --> 00:49:00.059
I'll sit by and say that most times when it's

00:49:00.059 --> 00:49:02.760
cross -play, the PC players are better than the

00:49:02.760 --> 00:49:06.400
console players. But Dead by Daylight, PC, if

00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:09.320
you play Dead by Daylight on PC, I guarantee

00:49:09.320 --> 00:49:11.559
you, you are shitter. than the people that are

00:49:11.559 --> 00:49:13.760
on console. You're fucking useless. Useless.

00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:16.739
Fucking useless. Brain dead idiots. And they're

00:49:16.739 --> 00:49:19.699
not bots, because Dead by Daylight does bots

00:49:19.699 --> 00:49:21.460
now, but it didn't at the time. It does now,

00:49:21.619 --> 00:49:24.159
yeah. But back in the day, it was real players,

00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:29.480
and they were fucking unbearable. Unbearable.

00:49:30.300 --> 00:49:32.260
Useless. I'm pretty sure there was a couple of

00:49:32.260 --> 00:49:33.920
games where I just upped and left. The minute

00:49:33.920 --> 00:49:36.300
I see it on PC, I'm off. It's not a hard game.

00:49:36.599 --> 00:49:39.019
All you've got to do is skill check the jennies,

00:49:39.019 --> 00:49:41.460
and all they do is keep popping them. It's not

00:49:41.460 --> 00:49:43.400
a hard game. Killer comes straight over, game

00:49:43.400 --> 00:49:45.900
over. It's a very fun game. It is a very fun

00:49:45.900 --> 00:49:48.440
game. Broke a headset to that game. I've got

00:49:48.440 --> 00:49:50.340
the clip of that, to be fair. Did you break a

00:49:50.340 --> 00:49:51.820
headset to that game, did you? Yeah, I smashed

00:49:51.820 --> 00:49:53.800
it on the floor. I remember when you did it on

00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:58.019
steep. That was hilarious. That was another one

00:49:58.019 --> 00:50:00.739
because I did it before you or beat your time.

00:50:01.300 --> 00:50:03.699
It's just competitiveness, isn't it? It's just

00:50:03.699 --> 00:50:05.420
being competitive. Yeah, we put too many hours

00:50:05.420 --> 00:50:07.480
into that game. Steep was great. I'd love to

00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:10.340
see my Howe account on Steep. It's surprising.

00:50:10.460 --> 00:50:12.460
It's probably not as much as we think. I wonder

00:50:12.460 --> 00:50:14.900
if you could search it on the app. I don't think

00:50:14.900 --> 00:50:16.579
you can. I think it only shows your hours on

00:50:16.579 --> 00:50:21.719
recently played. Really? I think so. I loved

00:50:21.719 --> 00:50:23.880
Steep, man. And then Riders Republic come out.

00:50:24.170 --> 00:50:26.409
they just weren't as good I just didn't get into

00:50:26.409 --> 00:50:28.849
that at all nah you played a bit didn't you but

00:50:28.849 --> 00:50:31.010
I think I put two three hours in and gave up

00:50:31.010 --> 00:50:34.869
I did play a bit but I just couldn't it just

00:50:34.869 --> 00:50:36.690
weren't the same was it it didn't have that competitive

00:50:36.690 --> 00:50:40.590
edge that we had with Steve nah yeah no it doesn't

00:50:40.590 --> 00:50:42.469
yeah we did we were pretty good at that to be

00:50:42.469 --> 00:50:43.829
fair obviously because me and you used to go

00:50:43.829 --> 00:50:47.309
for the weekly scores worldwide and stuff like

00:50:47.309 --> 00:50:49.449
that yeah yeah yeah we did actually have a few

00:50:49.449 --> 00:50:52.110
of them briefly yeah Yeah, we were like fucking

00:50:52.110 --> 00:50:54.349
world number one and shit like that. I remember

00:50:54.349 --> 00:51:02.449
there was one race on skis. I think you were

00:51:02.449 --> 00:51:06.269
snowboarding and you were number one for a couple,

00:51:06.389 --> 00:51:08.650
I think it was like at least a week. Yeah. A

00:51:08.650 --> 00:51:10.489
week or two and you sat at number one. That was

00:51:10.489 --> 00:51:12.590
quite impressive. Yeah. Yeah, there was some

00:51:12.590 --> 00:51:14.269
cool shit. That's my little claim to fame because

00:51:14.269 --> 00:51:17.809
most games I'm bang average. My claim to fame.

00:51:18.920 --> 00:51:23.300
And a H1Z1. H1Z1. Has to be. Yeah. Has to be.

00:51:23.559 --> 00:51:26.059
I think I was, what was I, top 1%, but yeah.

00:51:26.260 --> 00:51:31.159
I was top 0 .01%. Yeah. I'm just going to put

00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:32.739
it down to the fact that you put my hours in.

00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:37.719
First season, we fucking, we were lethal with

00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:41.079
that game, and now it's gone. Oh yeah, it doesn't

00:51:41.079 --> 00:51:42.480
exist anymore. It doesn't exist, does it? No.

00:51:42.940 --> 00:51:45.440
No, no, no. We switched over to PUBG for a while.

00:51:45.619 --> 00:51:49.429
God, I love PUBG. Such a shit game. That broke

00:51:49.429 --> 00:51:51.909
me, that game. I love... Because they were long

00:51:51.909 --> 00:51:53.969
games, man. 45 minutes. Yeah, 45 minutes. With

00:51:53.969 --> 00:51:57.429
no kills. Seeing absolutely no one and then you

00:51:57.429 --> 00:52:00.570
just get sniped. Done. Yeah. Bosh. Let me play

00:52:00.570 --> 00:52:02.630
that again. Or done in with a frying pan, if

00:52:02.630 --> 00:52:06.210
you may. That was brilliant. I think I've still

00:52:06.210 --> 00:52:07.989
got the clip of when my parachute got stuck and

00:52:07.989 --> 00:52:09.909
I couldn't get out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And

00:52:09.909 --> 00:52:11.530
I'm just floating around while you're chasing

00:52:11.530 --> 00:52:15.809
along with a pan. Yeah! I loved it. It was such

00:52:15.809 --> 00:52:22.219
