00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000
Hello, everyone, evening, Friday, end of the

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.080
week, end of my week. It's not the end of your

00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:08.380
week. It's not the end of my week. Oh, my God.

00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:14.140
Ash is testing out the old, the new microphone

00:00:14.140 --> 00:00:16.260
with the microphone stand, something that we've

00:00:16.260 --> 00:00:20.100
actually been kind of after since the very beginning.

00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:22.600
The dawn of the beginning. We've been three years.

00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.460
I know. We've been prehistorically just holding

00:00:25.460 --> 00:00:28.379
it. Three years we've been doing this. We're

00:00:28.379 --> 00:00:30.879
so good at keeping track of that. Giza said the

00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:32.700
other day about the podcast. Did you still do

00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:34.140
it? I said, yeah, three years the other day.

00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:36.939
He said, what did you do? I said, nothing. Put

00:00:36.939 --> 00:00:39.240
a microphone in a stand. There you go. Well done.

00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:43.899

post on there. All the posts. We're actually

00:01:00.259 --> 00:01:02.200
getting better at the posts, to be fair. I saw

00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.500
you put a clip up the other day of, what was

00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:06.299
that, you ran over a rabbit or some shit? Yeah.

00:01:06.620 --> 00:01:08.980
Yeah, Death Stranding 2, that was funny. Yeah.

00:01:09.540 --> 00:01:15.500
All yours for £5 a month. Fantastic. Enough of

00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:19.459
the advert. Fuck that off. Yep. You sweet? Sweet.

00:01:19.700 --> 00:01:21.920
Gaming, you been melting? Yep, all of that. Fuck

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.040
me. All of that. That's been shit. Real shit.

00:01:25.140 --> 00:01:28.980
Yeah, yeah, really hot. 35 degrees. Me and Steph

00:01:28.980 --> 00:01:30.420
really wanted to play it, so we both looked at

00:01:30.420 --> 00:01:32.340
each other and went, I ain't subjecting the laptop

00:01:32.340 --> 00:01:34.459
to it. I ain't switching that on. I can't be

00:01:34.459 --> 00:01:36.939
arsed. It's too much, man. Far too much. I can't

00:01:36.939 --> 00:01:40.200
breathe in that heat. I feel like I'm inhaling

00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.480
volcanic ashes. It's grim, isn't it? It's gross,

00:01:42.579 --> 00:01:45.159
man. I saw a video the other day of an Australian

00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.439
geezer saying, no, literally, literally guys.

00:01:49.230 --> 00:01:52.349
This heat is different. I'm over here and I'm

00:01:52.349 --> 00:01:54.569
telling you firsthand, it's fucking horrible.

00:01:54.909 --> 00:01:58.049
This is 35 degrees. It's fucking 80 over there.

00:01:58.189 --> 00:02:00.430
This is fucking worse. I think it's to do with

00:02:00.430 --> 00:02:01.950
the humidity. It is the humidity. That's what

00:02:01.950 --> 00:02:04.510
it is. It just makes it... And the fact that

00:02:04.510 --> 00:02:07.209
we have a lack of AC and the buildings are designed

00:02:07.209 --> 00:02:11.349
to keep heating. This house is fucking unbearable.

00:02:11.449 --> 00:02:14.250
It's horrible. Upstairs is genuinely like a sauna.

00:02:14.409 --> 00:02:18.990
It is grim. Grimness. Perfect time to break into

00:02:18.990 --> 00:02:21.009
people's houses if you want to, A, break in and

00:02:21.009 --> 00:02:23.590
steal their stuff, and B, see them naked. Because

00:02:23.590 --> 00:02:25.169
no one's wearing anything when they're sleeping.

00:02:25.389 --> 00:02:27.270
I'd break in just to steal a fan or something.

00:02:27.330 --> 00:02:29.169
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where's your fan? I'm taking

00:02:29.169 --> 00:02:30.889
it. No, you're taking my life before you take

00:02:30.889 --> 00:02:34.330
the fan. It's not happening. Yeah. Yeah, 100%.

00:02:34.330 --> 00:02:39.569
But yeah, game -wise, you've been fucking about.

00:02:39.710 --> 00:02:44.389
I've put 40 hours into an unknown title. Because

00:02:44.389 --> 00:02:45.909
obviously I wasn't here last week because you

00:02:45.909 --> 00:02:49.949
were busy. Friday before I believe I bought it

00:02:49.949 --> 00:02:52.330
and it's called Rematch. Played it? Heard of

00:02:52.330 --> 00:02:55.789
it? Yes, I have. 40 hours I've put into that.

00:02:55.789 --> 00:02:58.189
That is Rocket League but actual football. Yeah,

00:02:58.210 --> 00:03:02.490
so it's actually a game I am and could be really

00:03:02.490 --> 00:03:04.530
fucking good at. This is very interesting because

00:03:04.530 --> 00:03:06.449
I really want to get this and play it because

00:03:06.449 --> 00:03:08.409
I've seen a lot of stuff and I've been interested

00:03:08.409 --> 00:03:10.460
because I used to... Bang, Rocket League. Yeah.

00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:12.340
See, I always liked Rocket League, but I wasn't

00:03:12.340 --> 00:03:14.860
good at it because it's too much for my brain.

00:03:14.860 --> 00:03:16.139
Couldn't get the aerials in. It's too much for

00:03:16.139 --> 00:03:18.840
my brain to contemplate driving a car and trying

00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:21.900
to kick a football because the dynamics of a

00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:24.060
human being aren't there. Yes. I can't see the

00:03:24.060 --> 00:03:26.719
anatomy. It's a fucking car. So the people that

00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:28.120
are talented at Rocket League and I've watched

00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.300
videos are insane. Like, full kudos to them.

00:03:31.379 --> 00:03:35.039
But what I'm seeing with rematch is exposing

00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.180
a lot of American useless cunts. because they

00:03:38.180 --> 00:03:41.020
don't understand football. So you hold R1 and

00:03:41.020 --> 00:03:43.680
you press X and you can do a, I don't know what

00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.319
you'd call it, a flick over, a scorpion flick.

00:03:46.659 --> 00:03:48.419
You know when you get it between your feet and

00:03:48.419 --> 00:03:49.819
you flick it over your head. You can do that.

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:51.000
You just press R1 and X. You can do it. There's

00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.539
no skill involved. It's two buttons. That's all

00:03:53.539 --> 00:03:55.300
they do. They get the ball and they just do that

00:03:55.300 --> 00:03:56.800
over and over again trying to score. You're not

00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.379
the main character here. This is a fucking team

00:03:59.379 --> 00:04:05.500
game. So I've slogged my way from... you know,

00:04:05.539 --> 00:04:07.039
the bottom of the barrel because I was playing

00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:10.379
ranked from bronze all the way. So I've done

00:04:10.379 --> 00:04:14.500
bronze 3 -2 -1, silver 3 -2 -1, gold 3 -2 -1,

00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:18.680
platinum 3, platinum 2. I mean, platinum 2. Yep.

00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.079
And I've done all that solo queuing. And the

00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:22.959
interesting part about it, and the only reason

00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.720
I stuck with it, is I was like, surely people

00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.199
that are good at this game know how to play football.

00:04:29.220 --> 00:04:33.540
Yeah, yeah. Or have an idea of the sport. and

00:04:33.540 --> 00:04:35.560
that it's not just a fucking get the ball and

00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.160
run and look how good I am. Because if you just

00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.120
keep spamming the same thing and trying to take

00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.259
on multiple people over and over again and then

00:04:42.259 --> 00:04:46.199
you finally score, I'm not saying good job, bro.

00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.360
You're annoying me because you're a selfish fucking

00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.019
idiot. That's very much what it's like in Rocket

00:04:53.019 --> 00:04:56.000
League is I've got the ball, let me try and score.

00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:58.360
The thing is with Rocket League is it's like,

00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.339
if I remember because I didn't play it that much.

00:05:00.830 --> 00:05:03.129
But you can't pass the ball. You have to run

00:05:03.129 --> 00:05:05.470
it at people and then move off so the ball carries

00:05:05.470 --> 00:05:07.629
on its trajectory or whatever. Or you can flick

00:05:07.629 --> 00:05:10.769
it or whatever, but there's no actual pass button.

00:05:10.850 --> 00:05:13.209
So you can be forgiven for not passing in Rocket

00:05:13.209 --> 00:05:15.449
League. There's no forgiving in this game. Pass

00:05:15.449 --> 00:05:18.529
the fucking ball, man. Or there's an actual pass

00:05:18.529 --> 00:05:20.129
mechanic. Oh, right, yeah, yeah. There's a pass

00:05:20.129 --> 00:05:23.189
mechanic. You tap square, you do a short pass.

00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:26.680
Hold long hold square, you do a long pass. You

00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.279
hold R1 and square, you chip pass. That makes

00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:33.120
sense. And you press R2 to shoot or hold R2 to

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.459
shoot or whatever it is you want to do. But don't

00:05:36.459 --> 00:05:38.120
get me wrong, it's very difficult. The difficulty

00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:41.079
is everything's manual, whereas FIFA, if a player's

00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.160
standing here and I'm here and I want to pass

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.930
the ball. Here, if I aim the analogue stick here,

00:05:47.069 --> 00:05:48.769
more often than not, it's going to go to the

00:05:48.769 --> 00:05:50.689
person because it auto -helps you, you know?

00:05:50.750 --> 00:05:52.589
Yeah, yeah. Whereas on this, it's all manual

00:05:52.589 --> 00:05:54.930
passing, all manual shooting, so you have to

00:05:54.930 --> 00:05:57.589
actually have some sort of directional awareness

00:05:57.589 --> 00:06:00.250
and stuff, which I'm really good at. I'm actually

00:06:00.250 --> 00:06:02.509
very, very, very, very, very good at this game,

00:06:02.610 --> 00:06:05.110
and it's nice to be good. It's very frustrating

00:06:05.110 --> 00:06:07.889
when your teammates... I don't mind the teammates

00:06:07.889 --> 00:06:10.350
being shit, but when they're just not passing

00:06:10.350 --> 00:06:14.589
the ball, that's really annoying. Wow. But as

00:06:14.589 --> 00:06:16.470
I've gone up the divisions, it's like a different

00:06:16.470 --> 00:06:18.850
ball game, man. Excuse the pun. Everyone's passing,

00:06:19.149 --> 00:06:21.310
playing out from the back, doing little triangles,

00:06:21.610 --> 00:06:24.009
little give and goes. It's great. Such a fun

00:06:24.009 --> 00:06:26.410
thing. But to get through the doldrums of lower

00:06:26.410 --> 00:06:28.649
division, because obviously I'm just solo queuing,

00:06:28.769 --> 00:06:32.870
it was a slog. But the actual game itself, it's

00:06:32.870 --> 00:06:36.850
fantastic. It's got a massive, massive ceiling

00:06:36.850 --> 00:06:39.310
for ability. Like if you could get five players

00:06:39.310 --> 00:06:42.120
in a team. And you were all good. You could take

00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.139
over the universe. Like I say, I see quite a

00:06:44.139 --> 00:06:46.160
lot of it on TikTok and Instagram and stuff like

00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.100
that. And I remember when it got announced and

00:06:49.100 --> 00:06:53.519
I was very intrigued because, like I say, there's

00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:58.600
easily thousands of hours that I've put into

00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:04.160
Rocket League. Easily. And same with Mark. We

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:07.000
put in so many fucking hours into Rocket League

00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:12.100
and loved it. We actually won like a weekly competition

00:07:12.100 --> 00:07:16.579
on one of their ranked things where you play

00:07:16.579 --> 00:07:20.759
for a proper division and shit. And yeah, we

00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.220
haven't played that game for a long time. So

00:07:23.220 --> 00:07:26.060
when I see rematch, I was like, that looks fucking

00:07:26.060 --> 00:07:28.420
cool. That looks really, really cool. And I didn't

00:07:28.420 --> 00:07:29.839
know that it actually released because I didn't

00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:33.720
keep... proper tabs on it and then see it the

00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:35.720
other day and it's only what is it it's only

00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.360
20 quid 20 quid I think 30 dollars or something

00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:40.519
very tempted very very tempted because it just

00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:44.639
it's like you say it's for me looking at it I

00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.060
see it as even though you're saying it's not

00:07:47.060 --> 00:07:50.560
the same and I'm sure it isn't but it's of that

00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:55.430
similar ilk to Rocket League There'd be definite

00:07:55.430 --> 00:07:58.589
transferable skills from Rocket League. Yeah.

00:07:58.750 --> 00:08:00.610
Because you can play off the walls if you want.

00:08:00.689 --> 00:08:03.389
Yeah, because I've seen some people glitching

00:08:03.389 --> 00:08:04.829
out where they're constantly headering against

00:08:04.829 --> 00:08:06.430
the wall and just going higher and higher and

00:08:06.430 --> 00:08:09.370
higher. They're taking that out. Yeah. I would

00:08:09.370 --> 00:08:11.029
imagine so. The developers already said, we're

00:08:11.029 --> 00:08:13.329
taking that out. It's core, it's a football game.

00:08:13.449 --> 00:08:14.870
Yeah, yeah. We don't want any, because there's

00:08:14.870 --> 00:08:16.769
a lot of people, you can also press triangle

00:08:16.769 --> 00:08:20.579
to jump and hit the ball. Yeah, yeah. or square

00:08:20.579 --> 00:08:22.980
to head the ball really if you're shooting or

00:08:22.980 --> 00:08:25.560
passing but if you're trying to just like jump

00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:28.120
in front of a shot or block a shot press triangle

00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.480
to jump but the actual running and jumping animation

00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:34.059
because there's a stamina system was faster than

00:08:34.059 --> 00:08:36.519
like because you double tap L1 to sprint like

00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:38.419
extra effort like the really fast boost you get

00:08:38.419 --> 00:08:41.080
and obviously that runs out but just running

00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:42.960
normally and just spamming triangle over and

00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.470
over again so people just like drunken salmoning

00:08:45.470 --> 00:08:48.110
over and over again was a lot faster than the

00:08:48.110 --> 00:08:51.529
fastest thing. So they were like, we're stopping

00:08:51.529 --> 00:08:53.009
that because... Yeah, that's not happening. No,

00:08:53.049 --> 00:08:55.769
we want it... It's a fun game, but of course

00:08:55.769 --> 00:08:57.309
it's a football game. So we don't want it to

00:08:57.309 --> 00:09:02.649
be stupid. If I were to ask you, is it similar...

00:09:02.649 --> 00:09:04.850
Is it giving similarity to something like FIFA

00:09:04.850 --> 00:09:08.830
Street? I know in its core mechanics it won't

00:09:08.830 --> 00:09:12.990
be, but how it is... I'd say so, but there's

00:09:12.990 --> 00:09:15.090
not really... There's a couple of skills and

00:09:15.090 --> 00:09:17.850
there's like, I say mainly that little flick.

00:09:17.909 --> 00:09:19.590
There's a couple of little, there's a little

00:09:19.590 --> 00:09:21.789
silhouette, a pirouette you can do, but not many

00:09:21.789 --> 00:09:23.149
people know how to do that. And that's simple.

00:09:23.250 --> 00:09:25.169
You just hold L2 and double tap X twice, but

00:09:25.169 --> 00:09:28.250
not many people know that. But the skill comes

00:09:28.250 --> 00:09:33.559
from... Because it looks so stupid and shit and

00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:36.580
simple, but it's so in -depth. So when the ball

00:09:36.580 --> 00:09:38.980
comes, a lot of people don't know you press X

00:09:38.980 --> 00:09:41.240
to trap the ball. Or if you hold a direction

00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.360
when the ball comes and then you press X, it'll

00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:45.279
trap it and then turn in that direction so you

00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:47.659
already get away from a person. There's a lot

00:09:47.659 --> 00:09:49.519
of intricacies that people don't understand with

00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:53.019
that. So I think FIFA Street was more just how

00:09:53.019 --> 00:09:55.600
many step -overs and flick -ups can you do. The

00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:57.240
lower league, yeah, it's all like that because

00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:59.740
everyone's playing for themselves. But a higher

00:09:59.740 --> 00:10:01.960
up division is much more... So it's kind of like

00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.360
when 2042 come out and all the COD players come

00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.700
over to Battlefield and they're like, oh, I can't

00:10:07.700 --> 00:10:10.340
play it like this arcade game that I spent my

00:10:10.340 --> 00:10:13.759
life on. It's slightly different. In all honesty,

00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:17.240
it's probably, as gimmicky as it is from the

00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:19.059
outside looking, it's probably one of the most

00:10:19.059 --> 00:10:20.779
football games I've ever played. Yeah, yeah.

00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:23.769
Because it's like... If you play five -a -side

00:10:23.769 --> 00:10:25.370
with your mates, you're not going to get closer

00:10:25.370 --> 00:10:27.289
to playing real five -a -side than playing rematch

00:10:27.289 --> 00:10:28.929
because that is what it is. You can play three

00:10:28.929 --> 00:10:30.350
-a -side, four -a -side, five -a -side, ranked

00:10:30.350 --> 00:10:32.750
as five. Very, very fucking tempted, you know.

00:10:32.889 --> 00:10:35.210
You're making me very tempted. I'll show you.

00:10:35.210 --> 00:10:36.929
I've scored a goal or two. I've not saved them.

00:10:36.990 --> 00:10:41.129
But the crux of it is I find it much more satisfying

00:10:41.129 --> 00:10:44.529
to run up the pitch. ping a couple of passes

00:10:44.529 --> 00:10:46.289
off a couple of people, all one -touch passes,

00:10:46.409 --> 00:10:49.210
bang you go, bang I go, pass it back, and then

00:10:49.210 --> 00:10:51.889
we get it back and tap it in. Then me doing 100

00:10:51.889 --> 00:10:54.129
stepovers, flicking it up and scoring from 30

00:10:54.129 --> 00:10:56.870
yards, that's not what's fun. Playing as a team

00:10:56.870 --> 00:10:59.830
is much more satisfying. And you're quite good

00:10:59.830 --> 00:11:01.950
at it. I'd say I'm really good at it, to be honest.

00:11:01.970 --> 00:11:04.470
Which is rare. I'm not good at games. It's very

00:11:04.470 --> 00:11:07.629
rare, because obviously you're old as fuck. Bald,

00:11:07.950 --> 00:11:13.139
wrinkly. Nice eyes, nice beard. Thank you. But

00:11:13.139 --> 00:11:18.360
at its core, crusty and decrepit. Fair. Bad back.

00:11:18.580 --> 00:11:22.039
Fair. Quite smelly. Oh. There's a dad bod going

00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:25.240
there, which is fine. It's expected at someone

00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.419
of your age. I get it. You know what I mean?

00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:31.159
There's not that much more time left. So in terms

00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.200
of actually getting good at a game, especially

00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.600
on a competitive level, doesn't really happen.

00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:38.440
You know what I mean? we've heard the Destiny

00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:40.659
struggles the WoW struggles the COD struggles

00:11:40.659 --> 00:11:44.000
I myself am a part of that I ain't doing it first

00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:45.840
person shooters on ranked I ain't touching them

00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:49.899
I can't keep up my old eyes and I'm like a third

00:11:49.899 --> 00:11:53.100
of the age of you so it just doesn't it doesn't

00:11:53.100 --> 00:11:56.519
work so it's just nice to hear that you found

00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:59.419
a game that's decent for you oh yeah and I'm

00:11:59.419 --> 00:12:02.659
enjoying it as well most important thing yeah

00:12:02.659 --> 00:12:05.139
another good thing is everyone has to have a

00:12:05.139 --> 00:12:08.460
go at Doing everything. Yeah. You can go wherever

00:12:08.460 --> 00:12:12.539
you want on the pitch. You're not put into a

00:12:12.539 --> 00:12:15.299
certain position. Yep. Which is also a problem

00:12:15.299 --> 00:12:17.000
in the lower divisions because everyone just

00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:18.740
stays up front and you're like, sick, I'll just

00:12:18.740 --> 00:12:20.279
do the defending then, shall I? There's only

00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:23.159
five of them. Yeah, decent. Who picks goalkeeper?

00:12:23.659 --> 00:12:25.860
That's what I'm saying. So the goalkeeper's picked

00:12:25.860 --> 00:12:28.200
at random at the start, but every time a goal

00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.080
goes in, in your goal or their goal, goal swaps.

00:12:31.139 --> 00:12:33.960
Clever, very clever. But if you're in goal and

00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.549
I'm out on pitch, And then a ball comes over

00:12:36.549 --> 00:12:38.190
and you think you can get it. You run out to

00:12:38.190 --> 00:12:41.649
get the ball. But you realise, oh shit, I'm not

00:12:41.649 --> 00:12:44.429
going to make it. If I run in the box, as soon

00:12:44.429 --> 00:12:46.230
as I put in the box that you're not in the box,

00:12:46.330 --> 00:12:48.610
I've got the gloves on. Oh, it immediately swaps

00:12:48.610 --> 00:12:50.860
you over. So I'm just in goal. What a weird mechanic

00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:53.179
that is. It's great because if you get a knob

00:12:53.179 --> 00:12:54.779
that just runs around as a goalkeeper, you just

00:12:54.779 --> 00:12:56.759
go, I'll just fucking go and goal. And that makes

00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:59.299
perfect sense because you would get, you fucking

00:12:59.299 --> 00:13:01.299
would get that. You do. You get people just running,

00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:02.899
I'm a goalkeeper and I'm just going to flick

00:13:02.899 --> 00:13:04.360
the ball up and try and shoot. Yeah, people go,

00:13:04.460 --> 00:13:06.639
I don't want to play goalkeeper so I'll go. But

00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:08.460
goalkeeping's really fun and I'm really good

00:13:08.460 --> 00:13:11.320
at that as well. So it's great. I'm really enjoying

00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:14.799
it. I wonder what the, I'd imagine it's on Steam.

00:13:15.500 --> 00:13:17.799
I'd imagine so. I think people are very positive

00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:21.970
on it. Apart from the players are the problem.

00:13:22.169 --> 00:13:24.850
All I'm seeing on the Reddit, because for some

00:13:24.850 --> 00:13:26.230
reason when you look at something on Reddit,

00:13:26.350 --> 00:13:28.169
all you get is bombarded notifications of that

00:13:28.169 --> 00:13:29.850
subreddit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know why

00:13:29.850 --> 00:13:32.730
it does that. Yeah, I keep getting that. Yeah,

00:13:32.889 --> 00:13:36.330
so all I ever see is rematch is great, but what's

00:13:36.330 --> 00:13:38.769
wrong with all these people, man? Pardon me.

00:13:38.850 --> 00:13:40.289
Everyone just wants to be the main character

00:13:40.289 --> 00:13:44.029
all the time. Because that's what people are

00:13:44.029 --> 00:13:47.740
like. Everyone... Oh, sorry. Made me jump. The

00:13:47.740 --> 00:13:50.500
fucking trailers just kicked in. Mostly positive.

00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:56.559
18 and a half thousand. It done mega numbers

00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:59.559
selling wise, man. And the customization is really

00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:01.340
cool, man. You can customize your own character,

00:14:01.419 --> 00:14:03.320
make them look however you want. Hats on, hats

00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.000
off. I've got a cybernetic arm just because it

00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:10.000
looks cool. Someone said, haven't had this much

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:12.360
fun. They've got 20 hours on record. Haven't

00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.419
had this much fun in a multiplayer game since

00:14:14.419 --> 00:14:16.779
Rocket League. Genuinely feels good to get movement

00:14:16.779 --> 00:14:19.039
down. Server has lagged on me a few times, but

00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:21.279
that's all I've got in terms of complaints. Haven't

00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:23.539
had a night of one more round in a long while,

00:14:23.620 --> 00:14:28.019
but this game keeps me hooked. This game, the

00:14:28.019 --> 00:14:31.399
kind of game I wish I had a middle option for.

00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:34.320
Not good and not bad, but needs a lot of work.

00:14:35.230 --> 00:14:37.769
in its systems and the input lag plus bugs are

00:14:37.769 --> 00:14:40.049
really annoying i also see that it has exactly

00:14:40.049 --> 00:14:42.129
the same problem as rocket league had with the

00:14:42.129 --> 00:14:44.769
community being beyond toxic and with the lowest

00:14:44.769 --> 00:14:47.470
iq average i've seen amongst online multiplayer

00:14:47.470 --> 00:14:51.230
games you know what i'll step in on that because

00:14:51.230 --> 00:14:55.590
through my times playing rocket rocket league

00:14:55.590 --> 00:14:58.269
i would agree that some of those people are the

00:14:58.269 --> 00:15:02.879
most stupid people I have ever had to play with.

00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.139
And I know that most of them are probably like

00:15:05.139 --> 00:15:08.100
six -year -old children having fun on a little

00:15:08.100 --> 00:15:14.379
arcade football car game. But fuck off. Let the

00:15:14.379 --> 00:15:18.200
adults jump in and play it properly. Go and watch

00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:22.100
Bluey or some shit like that. Yeah, just stupid

00:15:22.100 --> 00:15:24.120
people. And there was this event called Heat

00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:27.600
Seeker in Rocket League where you basically have

00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:31.899
three -on -three. And you can't cross the half.

00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:33.580
No, sorry, you could cross the halfway point.

00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.360
But the ball itself, once someone hits it, it

00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.679
would auto lock onto the goal. But based on your

00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.279
trajectory, obviously it would either head directly

00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:48.220
for the goal or hit the sides or whatever. And

00:15:48.220 --> 00:15:50.700
most people, it's where you sort of become a

00:15:50.700 --> 00:15:52.679
really good goalie because the ball was always

00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:54.340
fucking coming at you. But every time you hit

00:15:54.340 --> 00:15:57.029
it, it sped up. And it would change colour and

00:15:57.029 --> 00:16:00.049
it would eventually hit a limit of how fast it

00:16:00.049 --> 00:16:01.450
was. And the thing was like a fucking bullet.

00:16:01.950 --> 00:16:04.509
And that was really good. But you used to get

00:16:04.509 --> 00:16:06.730
the most fucking annoying people. If you boosted

00:16:06.730 --> 00:16:08.470
into someone with enough speed, they'd blow up.

00:16:08.990 --> 00:16:11.850
So you'd get people kick off three on three.

00:16:12.070 --> 00:16:14.529
There'd always be one cunt that would just speed

00:16:14.529 --> 00:16:16.789
towards the opposition, try and blow them up

00:16:16.789 --> 00:16:18.490
or just hit them out of the way rather than just

00:16:18.490 --> 00:16:21.409
playing the actual game. And there were so many

00:16:21.409 --> 00:16:23.529
people calling for just stop people from going

00:16:23.529 --> 00:16:25.590
across the halfway point. keep them in their

00:16:25.590 --> 00:16:27.649
own half so they can't keep doing that because

00:16:27.649 --> 00:16:29.970
it was so fucking annoying. And it never worked

00:16:29.970 --> 00:16:31.990
because you could just jump out of the way. So

00:16:31.990 --> 00:16:34.190
they were just wasting their own time. Yeah,

00:16:34.190 --> 00:16:37.750
much like Rocket League, you've got, I think,

00:16:37.750 --> 00:16:39.909
in Rocket League, you have four. They need to

00:16:39.909 --> 00:16:41.970
change them and add more for sure. But they've

00:16:41.970 --> 00:16:44.389
got four things you can say. So you've got good

00:16:44.389 --> 00:16:49.009
job. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry. We've got this.

00:16:49.529 --> 00:16:53.049
And some other shit I can't remember. But yeah,

00:16:53.110 --> 00:16:57.409
if I'm in goal, And I've saved 14 shots and no

00:16:57.409 --> 00:16:59.690
one's defending. And then I finally concede.

00:16:59.950 --> 00:17:03.190
Everyone just spams, good job, techers. That's

00:17:03.190 --> 00:17:05.589
all it says. Good job, techers. And you're just

00:17:05.589 --> 00:17:08.009
like, mate, you're all up there, bruv. I used

00:17:08.009 --> 00:17:09.730
to be one of those people. It's so annoying.

00:17:10.230 --> 00:17:13.910
But then what I try and do is when people are

00:17:13.910 --> 00:17:15.809
doing that to someone else, I just, instead of

00:17:15.809 --> 00:17:17.630
saying, good job, I just say, we got this. And

00:17:17.630 --> 00:17:19.900
it does a little heart emoji thing. Because I'm

00:17:19.900 --> 00:17:22.140
like, no, no, we can do it. Oh, you're one of

00:17:22.140 --> 00:17:23.539
the positive people. I'm a positive guy, man.

00:17:23.539 --> 00:17:25.960
You boring fuck. No, no, no. Because it's annoying

00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.859
as fuck, mate. It's so annoying. Like, if someone's

00:17:29.859 --> 00:17:34.279
like, I do do a good job. When someone keeps

00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:37.940
hogging the ball, and then you click R3 to call

00:17:37.940 --> 00:17:40.039
the pass, which is really cool. If I'm here,

00:17:40.140 --> 00:17:42.339
and you're here, and you're running, you can't

00:17:42.339 --> 00:17:44.220
see me in your peripheral, if I click R3, it'll

00:17:44.220 --> 00:17:47.619
say, pass the ball. But when I say that, it'll...

00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:50.400
instantly draw like a blue line where I am so

00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:52.160
you could just pass that ball to me straight

00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:53.859
away if you wanted to if you've got the tickers

00:17:53.859 --> 00:17:59.259
but yeah they need to do something like they

00:17:59.259 --> 00:18:01.039
need to add like unlucky and stuff like that

00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:02.319
because there's times where I'm honestly like

00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:04.660
oh man that was brilliant but you can only say

00:18:04.660 --> 00:18:06.660
good job and that's only normally used to just

00:18:06.660 --> 00:18:09.579
be a knob what they need to add is in game voice

00:18:09.579 --> 00:18:11.339
chat no they've got that so why don't everyone

00:18:11.339 --> 00:18:13.160
just use that or you don't fucking like using

00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:14.819
it I don't like talking to strangers man they're

00:18:14.819 --> 00:18:17.339
weird I love giving the old quick Quick chat

00:18:17.339 --> 00:18:19.480
fucking messages. I've heard people think that.

00:18:19.539 --> 00:18:21.259
There's this geezer the other day, and I say

00:18:21.259 --> 00:18:22.819
geezer, he's probably like a 10 -year -old kid.

00:18:23.140 --> 00:18:25.740
He was the most selfish little fucker. He was

00:18:25.740 --> 00:18:29.059
not passing the ball. But then none of the other

00:18:29.059 --> 00:18:31.440
four people in our team were talking. It was

00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:33.500
just him. And he just kept going, pass the ball!

00:18:34.059 --> 00:18:36.200
But every time he got the ball, he wouldn't pass.

00:18:36.420 --> 00:18:39.140
He'd just try and shoot. So I think without anyone

00:18:39.140 --> 00:18:41.519
talking, for the rest of the game, not a single

00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:44.680
person passed the ball to him. Every... 20 seconds,

00:18:44.779 --> 00:18:46.660
he unmuted. He's getting more and more angry.

00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:50.119
Pass the fucking ball! It was hilarious. I was

00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:52.480
cracking up. I've got two goals here that I've

00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.380
scored. Yep. And I'll show you why, what is my

00:18:56.380 --> 00:18:59.359
favourite and why. So this is one of my first

00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:01.900
goals. Yeah. That I thought was... One of the

00:19:01.900 --> 00:19:04.220
very first. You said the pass. Go on. Stand there

00:19:04.220 --> 00:19:05.559
with your hands out. Missed the ball. Ball's

00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:07.819
gone over to him. I'm useless, man. Missed the

00:19:07.819 --> 00:19:10.460
ball. Thought I'd had it. Yeah. Speedy, speedy.

00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:11.880
Yeah, you could lose control if you don't pay

00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:13.480
attention. There's the blue lines he's talking

00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:15.359
about. How do you keep control? Look at that

00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:18.460
little flick up. Little flick! Boss! That was

00:19:18.460 --> 00:19:20.700
cool, to be fair. That's a going off, mate. That

00:19:20.700 --> 00:19:24.579
was cool. Little flick up. Look at that. Zoom!

00:19:25.059 --> 00:19:27.099
Yeah, you get to choose your celebration. Got

00:19:27.099 --> 00:19:29.039
that on now, though. I've grown up. Let's just

00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:30.700
get straight to the point. I've already checked.

00:19:30.779 --> 00:19:33.339
About here, I think it starts. Yeah. Oh, there's

00:19:33.339 --> 00:19:35.599
Death Stranding. Oh, here we go. Oh, here we

00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:39.859
go. 30 seconds in. Yep. Right, here we go. They've

00:19:39.859 --> 00:19:42.359
won the ball. Here I come. I've intercepted it.

00:19:42.420 --> 00:19:44.640
Little give and go to this geezer. He's give

00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:46.460
and go to me. Fucking taking it back. I've give

00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:48.599
a little give and go to him. He's going round.

00:19:48.900 --> 00:19:50.339
He's going to give a little give and go and I'm

00:19:50.339 --> 00:19:53.339
going to push it in. Fucking lay bosh. That is

00:19:53.339 --> 00:19:56.579
fun. Yeah, one, two, three. That is a goal that

00:19:56.579 --> 00:20:00.740
is satisfying to score. Yeah, well earned. That

00:20:00.740 --> 00:20:02.460
was a team goal. Yeah, because we're playing.

00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:05.420
I much prefer scoring that to the little flick

00:20:05.420 --> 00:20:08.779
over volley thing that I did. But unfortunately,

00:20:08.940 --> 00:20:11.180
not in the lower divisions anyway. No one really

00:20:11.180 --> 00:20:13.099
plays like that. Yeah, yeah. Not so selfish.

00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:15.839
Yeah, I reckon that would be me. Yeah. I'll be

00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:19.259
a selfish player. But you want to win or do you

00:20:19.259 --> 00:20:21.180
want to lose? That's up to you. I want goals.

00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:24.859
I want as many goals as possible. I'm just not

00:20:24.859 --> 00:20:28.500
an objective player. I've realised that. Terrible

00:20:28.500 --> 00:20:30.299
with it. Football is, you know, if you want to

00:20:30.299 --> 00:20:32.880
score, you've got to pass, man. That's the way

00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:34.640
it is. You want to score, you've got to pass

00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:36.460
the ball. Not if I can solo it. If I can solo

00:20:36.460 --> 00:20:38.720
one goal, I can solo 100. Well, if you do get

00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:41.599
it, we're never playing then, are we? Just piss

00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:45.099
me off. As I said, I get people losing the ball.

00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:49.859
I get people missing shots and missing passes,

00:20:49.900 --> 00:20:53.839
but not passing at all is unacceptable. It's

00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:55.519
just unacceptable. I don't mind you trying to

00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:57.980
take on a player. as long as in the game you've

00:20:57.980 --> 00:20:59.619
been passing you take on as many players as you

00:20:59.619 --> 00:21:01.380
want but as long as you're passing the ball in

00:21:01.380 --> 00:21:03.440
equal measure it's just when you're just constantly

00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:05.160
never ever pass you're just flicking the ball

00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:07.839
up over and over and over again it's boring man

00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:09.359
when you get the ball how does controlling it

00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:11.779
work because you said you can lose control yeah

00:21:11.779 --> 00:21:14.359
so if you've got the ball it's like a little

00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:16.200
circle that comes around you have to press it

00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:18.359
when it's green to get that perfect control press

00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:20.799
X, and you'll bring it under control. If you

00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:22.940
do that in a direction, it will automatically

00:21:22.940 --> 00:21:25.660
pivot in that direction. So spatial awareness

00:21:25.660 --> 00:21:29.279
is really good. And if you do the double tap

00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:31.119
sprint extra effort while you're running, if

00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:32.980
you're not keeping control of the ball, moving

00:21:32.980 --> 00:21:35.640
with it, you'll lose control and just carry on

00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:36.720
running. And you'll be like, oh shit, I haven't

00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:37.960
got the ball, and you've left it behind. Yeah,

00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:42.799
I've lost the ball. But yeah, it's not difficult,

00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:44.960
but it's a thing that you have to get your head

00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:47.099
around. And yeah, the manual passing system,

00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:49.619
I'm really good. It was probably my best attribute

00:21:49.619 --> 00:21:51.779
in actual football was like long range passing,

00:21:51.859 --> 00:21:55.259
spotting passes rather than anything else. I

00:21:55.259 --> 00:21:57.660
wasn't a great finisher or anything, but I was

00:21:57.660 --> 00:22:00.519
very good at passing the ball in tight angles

00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:05.119
and defending because I'm stubborn and I don't

00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:06.839
ever pull out of a tackle even if I know I'm

00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:09.500
going to really hurt my leg. Yeah, yeah. Or theirs.

00:22:09.900 --> 00:22:12.420
More often than me. I saw someone snap their

00:22:12.420 --> 00:22:16.869
shin. the other day I heard it go yeah it's nice

00:22:16.869 --> 00:22:19.250
it was like ooh yeah it's nice and he screamed

00:22:19.250 --> 00:22:20.930
and he cried and I went into the comments and

00:22:20.930 --> 00:22:24.289
then the first comment was why is he crying fucking

00:22:24.289 --> 00:22:27.490
leg snapped in half mate it's a bit painful remember

00:22:27.490 --> 00:22:29.630
when I broke my wrist that was the most painful

00:22:29.630 --> 00:22:31.410
thing I've ever experienced this day I did my

00:22:31.410 --> 00:22:34.380
collarbone in football I got hacked by someone

00:22:34.380 --> 00:22:36.000
and just went straight on my shoulder and snapped.

00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:38.000
And then they made me take a free kick after

00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:40.519
with my shoulder fucking down like that. I did

00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:42.880
not. I missed the free kick. I won't lie to you.

00:22:42.980 --> 00:22:45.000
I hit the wall. I couldn't do anything with my

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.740
wrist. The bone was all mangled up. Yeah. Yeah,

00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.099
it was a mess. Tasty. Yeah, I went up for a header.

00:22:52.220 --> 00:22:55.119
Both sprinting for the ball. Both jumped for

00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:57.420
the ball. He's got more momentum and was probably

00:22:57.420 --> 00:23:00.019
stronger than me. Hit me in midair and I've spun

00:23:00.019 --> 00:23:02.640
all the way around. Oh, and you landed. I landed

00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:06.440
like that. And I remember, I remember the crack.

00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:08.420
I remember the crunch and I remember the instant

00:23:08.420 --> 00:23:11.819
searing pain. Yeah, that hot pain. Yeah. And

00:23:11.819 --> 00:23:14.710
like that, it's like. pain that's just it's impossible

00:23:14.710 --> 00:23:16.470
to touch you can't touch it it's just there it's

00:23:16.470 --> 00:23:18.730
just unbearable and you're just like i remember

00:23:18.730 --> 00:23:20.509
just laying in the heat and everyone went we're

00:23:20.509 --> 00:23:23.390
fucking diving he's fucking diving yeah then

00:23:23.390 --> 00:23:25.190
someone come over and i just heard him go oh

00:23:25.190 --> 00:23:27.569
and then that was when i knew because i hadn't

00:23:27.569 --> 00:23:28.930
opened my eyes that something had gone wrong

00:23:28.930 --> 00:23:31.809
yeah yeah yeah that's the worst one don't look

00:23:31.809 --> 00:23:34.670
yeah don't look mate yeah yeah it's all right

00:23:34.670 --> 00:23:43.109
it's all right Good stuff, man. But yeah, rematch.

00:23:43.769 --> 00:23:46.150
10 out of 10. Love it. Top notch. Top notch.

00:23:46.309 --> 00:23:48.549
I think it's just a fantastic game. Crack on

00:23:48.549 --> 00:23:52.130
for 20 quidlies. Exactly. And then obviously

00:23:52.130 --> 00:23:54.329
we're going to talk about the big boy, aren't

00:23:54.329 --> 00:23:57.069
we? I had no intention of playing this game.

00:23:57.329 --> 00:23:59.450
I told you how much I hated the first one. I

00:23:59.450 --> 00:24:02.089
don't know why I bought it. You had full intention

00:24:02.089 --> 00:24:03.670
of playing the second game. No, I didn't. You

00:24:03.670 --> 00:24:05.650
fucking did. I hated the first one. I finished

00:24:05.650 --> 00:24:08.440
it out of like... Out of spite? Yeah, because

00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:09.839
I was just like, well, I've paid for it and it's

00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:12.319
Kojima and I love Kojima. What is this shit?

00:24:12.420 --> 00:24:14.039
I see a lot of people and they go, people that

00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:15.640
say that it's a walking simulator, you're all

00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:17.940
NPCs, you don't understand. And then there's

00:24:17.940 --> 00:24:20.500
like a circle jerk of people sitting there and

00:24:20.500 --> 00:24:22.700
they go, they just don't get it. It feels like

00:24:22.700 --> 00:24:25.900
the Final Fantasy Online community. You've just

00:24:25.900 --> 00:24:28.240
got to get past the first 500 hours and then

00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:30.680
that's when it really opens up. Oh, we love it.

00:24:31.619 --> 00:24:35.140
I apologise, I was not part of the crew on either

00:24:35.140 --> 00:24:37.829
side there. Final Fantasy or Death Stranding.

00:24:38.369 --> 00:24:44.210
Yeah. How's it going? It's fucking great. Carry

00:24:44.210 --> 00:24:47.609
on. Yeah. I don't know why because I didn't like

00:24:47.609 --> 00:24:49.529
the first one. Yeah. It's not any different.

00:24:49.769 --> 00:24:53.529
Yeah. It's basically the same. Baby's grown up.

00:24:53.869 --> 00:24:58.890
Yeah. Fucking B8, BB. BB. BB. Oh, Lou. Yeah.

00:24:59.269 --> 00:25:02.670
Yeah. The baby's grown up a bit. Obviously, I'm

00:25:02.670 --> 00:25:04.089
not going to talk about spoilers and stuff like

00:25:04.089 --> 00:25:07.069
that. stuff happens but yeah it's inherently

00:25:07.069 --> 00:25:09.789
the same game although I didn't play the same

00:25:09.789 --> 00:25:11.630
game that you played because I played Death Stranding

00:25:11.630 --> 00:25:15.049
OG PS4 on the PS4 so it was never going to be

00:25:15.049 --> 00:25:17.549
as fun on the PS5 Director's Cut you played they

00:25:17.549 --> 00:25:19.630
added so much stuff in that like stuff that I'd

00:25:19.630 --> 00:25:21.750
never seen or experienced or had like the tools

00:25:21.750 --> 00:25:25.329
to use so a lot of the stuff is in it I mean

00:25:25.329 --> 00:25:28.210
90 % of the game so far I've been in a car bro

00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:31.220
So I haven't even really been trudging. I have,

00:25:31.339 --> 00:25:33.759
but nowhere near as much as I had to in the first

00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:36.500
one. But everything's just like fluid and I know

00:25:36.500 --> 00:25:39.640
what I'm doing and I'm building stuff. I'm helping

00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:44.079
with shit. The combat is fucking great. I love

00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:47.460
the combat. I love fighting. I love sneaking

00:25:47.460 --> 00:25:51.420
around. It's just great. There's more guns involved

00:25:51.420 --> 00:25:53.980
this time around. Loads of guns, loads of swords

00:25:53.980 --> 00:25:57.880
and weapons and that. Like cars. I've got a car

00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:00.039
at the moment. I've fitted like a fucking auto

00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:02.359
-looter on it. So if I drive past a package,

00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:05.140
it just fucking goes... Picks it out, sticks

00:26:05.140 --> 00:26:08.140
it inside. It's got a gun on it. It automatically

00:26:08.140 --> 00:26:12.799
fires at shit. Yeah, man. And I've been playing

00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:14.279
on the hardest difficulty. And I've done like

00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:17.279
30 hours on that as well. What made you do that?

00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:19.859
Just because I thought, I'm just going to fucking...

00:26:19.859 --> 00:26:21.660
I'm having it. I'm going to have it. Because

00:26:21.660 --> 00:26:23.299
I normally play games on the hardest setting.

00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:26.220
But... It depends on the game. If I know I'm

00:26:26.220 --> 00:26:28.059
going to get pissed off and frustrated, I won't.

00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:30.579
But also the option to always turn it down if

00:26:30.579 --> 00:26:33.700
it is too hard. So there is that option. But

00:26:33.700 --> 00:26:35.559
I haven't come across a thing where I'm like,

00:26:35.619 --> 00:26:38.180
this is ridiculous. I've only died a couple of

00:26:38.180 --> 00:26:42.099
times. Yeah, and the BTs haven't really been

00:26:42.099 --> 00:26:43.720
too much of a problem. I've barely seen them.

00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:46.220
I've skirted around a lot of them. Yeah. One

00:26:46.220 --> 00:26:49.680
time I did just drive into one by accident and

00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:52.599
I had no idea. I was just driving along. And

00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:54.279
then the car just stopped, and I was like, what

00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:56.160
the fuck's going on? And then all this tar came

00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:58.980
up, and I was like, oh, fucking hell. And then,

00:26:59.019 --> 00:27:02.799
yeah, I was fighting some fucking beast. But

00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:05.279
the boss fights, man, it's so much better in

00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:08.119
this. I don't know if it was just the PS4, bro,

00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:11.019
but it was shit on the first one. Now I can dodge

00:27:11.019 --> 00:27:14.299
stuff. I haven't got to stand on a fucking platform

00:27:14.299 --> 00:27:17.500
all the time to try and shoot. Yeah, it's really

00:27:17.500 --> 00:27:19.440
fucking good. And something that I didn't know,

00:27:19.579 --> 00:27:22.910
which was true of the first one as well, is that

00:27:22.910 --> 00:27:29.970
the timefall only damages the container. So if

00:27:29.970 --> 00:27:32.730
you get 100 % of the container damaged, it will

00:27:32.730 --> 00:27:35.470
do zero damage to the actual product inside it.

00:27:35.589 --> 00:27:38.130
I always thought that the timefall would just

00:27:38.130 --> 00:27:40.849
continuously damage it, man. Wish I knew that.

00:27:41.130 --> 00:27:43.089
So what's the point in the damage on the fucking

00:27:43.089 --> 00:27:44.069
container then? Well, because then if you fall

00:27:44.069 --> 00:27:45.569
over or something, you're going to damage it.

00:27:45.630 --> 00:27:49.380
So it's better to keep it, like, you know. oh

00:27:49.380 --> 00:27:52.440
what if you if you were to say throw that box

00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:54.700
throw that container that would then damage the

00:27:54.700 --> 00:27:57.119
contents yeah or if you're just if you stumble

00:27:57.119 --> 00:27:58.920
and trip because you know if you're carrying

00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:00.920
loads of shit all that time I was fucking wasting

00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.759
repairing containers sitting there fucking spraying

00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:05.920
myself because I was like I don't want to hand

00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:08.079
it in if it's damaged same yeah what a fucking

00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:10.279
waste of time yeah you didn't know either no

00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:12.500
Nah. It's annoying, isn't it? Do you know how

00:28:12.500 --> 00:28:14.359
much, do you know how much time, do you know

00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:16.140
how long it took me to work out that I could

00:28:16.140 --> 00:28:18.559
just get the spray out and spray all over rather

00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:21.400
than dropping everything and then individually

00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:23.920
spraying shit? Yes, that's why it was such a

00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:26.000
cunt. Yeah, I didn't realise you could do that.

00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:28.779
So I was, literally, I would have a mountain

00:28:28.779 --> 00:28:33.000
of gear take it all off because at the time I

00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:34.660
couldn't work out how to take off individual

00:28:34.660 --> 00:28:37.180
bits either. So I would just literally just drop

00:28:37.180 --> 00:28:39.819
everything, damage it in the process. Brilliant.

00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:44.180
And then sit there aiming, spraying certain bits

00:28:44.180 --> 00:28:47.539
and then putting it all back on without realising

00:28:47.539 --> 00:28:50.059
you can just go... Yeah, just turn it around.

00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:52.680
I mean, graphically, this game is probably the

00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:53.700
best looking game I've ever seen. I've seen some

00:28:53.700 --> 00:28:55.640
crazy shit, man. The best looking game I've ever

00:28:55.640 --> 00:29:00.099
seen by a distance as well. It's insane. But

00:29:00.099 --> 00:29:01.500
yeah, just mechanically, everything's better.

00:29:01.660 --> 00:29:03.819
Everything's more fun. Everything's fluid. The

00:29:03.819 --> 00:29:06.119
game itself is just fun. I'm always unlocking

00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:08.609
something. Like something new is happening. every

00:29:08.609 --> 00:29:11.190
time I'm doing something. So I've always gone,

00:29:11.250 --> 00:29:13.130
oh, I can try this now. I've just unlocked the

00:29:13.130 --> 00:29:14.890
floating carrier level two. I haven't even used

00:29:14.890 --> 00:29:16.089
the first one now because I've just been using

00:29:16.089 --> 00:29:19.109
a truck that I've customised and put my own stickers

00:29:19.109 --> 00:29:23.230
and colours on and stuff. It's just a very fun,

00:29:23.369 --> 00:29:27.549
good game and I can 100 % see why people don't

00:29:27.549 --> 00:29:30.490
like it or that game, the first one, second one,

00:29:30.529 --> 00:29:33.329
whatever it is. But then I can 100 % see why

00:29:33.329 --> 00:29:35.410
people love it because it's also very like...

00:29:35.930 --> 00:29:38.410
It's just satisfying, man. I feel like it's a

00:29:38.410 --> 00:29:40.769
game that you've really got to lock into. You've

00:29:40.769 --> 00:29:43.230
got to enjoy that. It isn't a game that you can

00:29:43.230 --> 00:29:47.190
just pick up and scroll on your phone whilst

00:29:47.190 --> 00:29:50.529
there's cutscenes going on and not really pay

00:29:50.529 --> 00:29:52.990
attention to what's going on. I feel like it

00:29:52.990 --> 00:29:55.190
is one of those where you need to be fucking

00:29:55.190 --> 00:29:58.390
zoned in on this game to really experience what

00:29:58.390 --> 00:30:02.029
the fuck is happening. I saw a clip of Norman

00:30:02.029 --> 00:30:06.839
Reedus talking about... obviously filming for

00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:10.759
the cut scenes and all that stuff where he's

00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:12.599
like cry and he's like there's time for and then

00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:15.859
oh look a whale he's like what am I supposed

00:30:15.859 --> 00:30:18.180
to do I don't know what you're talking about

00:30:18.180 --> 00:30:21.680
but I trust you yeah I've got no idea how I'm

00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:23.259
supposed to cry but I will cry because you're

00:30:23.259 --> 00:30:25.900
telling me to I love that I absolutely love it

00:30:27.549 --> 00:30:30.210
Hideo Kojima's brain is just so fucking... He's

00:30:30.210 --> 00:30:32.230
a genius, though. I don't understand. And I feel

00:30:32.230 --> 00:30:34.009
like that's what it is, is the geezer's just

00:30:34.009 --> 00:30:35.970
a genius. There's so many people that just don't

00:30:35.970 --> 00:30:37.750
understand him. You just go, he's just not on

00:30:37.750 --> 00:30:42.849
the same level that he's on because how his brain

00:30:42.849 --> 00:30:47.789
is able to... I thought control was confusing.

00:30:48.789 --> 00:30:52.630
And to be fair, towards the end of Claire Obscure...

00:30:52.809 --> 00:30:55.329
You think, fucking hell, it's hurting my brain

00:30:55.329 --> 00:30:57.529
to work out what is happening here. But Death

00:30:57.529 --> 00:30:59.369
Stranding, I feel like, is just on a whole other

00:30:59.369 --> 00:31:01.509
level where you just go, what the actual fuck

00:31:01.509 --> 00:31:04.750
is going on here? Like, I don't get this. So

00:31:04.750 --> 00:31:06.809
I've done, on the main menu, there's a recap

00:31:06.809 --> 00:31:09.069
thing, which is handy. Yeah, that's cool. I also

00:31:09.069 --> 00:31:11.289
watched, the reason I actually bought Death Stranding

00:31:11.289 --> 00:31:13.910
2 is because I watched a Death Stranding 1 from

00:31:13.910 --> 00:31:17.829
years ago, like why I find it a masterpiece now

00:31:17.829 --> 00:31:20.619
when I first played it. So I watched that and

00:31:20.619 --> 00:31:22.740
I was like, okay, I understand this geezer because

00:31:22.740 --> 00:31:24.640
he's had a similar journey to what I did. I was

00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:26.019
like, I don't really like it, but I'm going to

00:31:26.019 --> 00:31:28.680
finish it. But he went back to it when the director's

00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:30.680
cut come out and I didn't. So he had a completely

00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:35.400
different experience than me. So yeah, that got

00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:38.259
me like invested in it. But when I watched the

00:31:38.259 --> 00:31:40.440
story and him explain it and then I watched the

00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:42.440
recap and stuff, I was like, okay, when you take

00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:45.079
out all the weird shit, I get what's going on

00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:48.900
now. And then the second one is like, it's following

00:31:48.900 --> 00:31:52.759
on from that but i actually i actually i'm actually

00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:54.519
keeping up with what's going on i actually understand

00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:57.460
what's going on now whereas in the first one

00:31:57.460 --> 00:31:59.839
i was like why is that what the fuck is going

00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:02.279
on and i never understood it i finished it and

00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:04.140
i still didn't know what was going on now i actually

00:32:04.140 --> 00:32:06.819
understand what bt is what beach is like what

00:32:06.819 --> 00:32:09.039
why they're here what happened but i know all

00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:11.279
of that shit i've learned it yeah yeah i mean

00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:14.420
i turned to reddit to work out but even when

00:32:14.420 --> 00:32:16.380
you read that shit it's still confusing right

00:32:16.380 --> 00:32:19.460
yeah when you read a couple of paragraphs of

00:32:19.460 --> 00:32:22.740
it and then and then yeah like finding out like

00:32:22.740 --> 00:32:25.480
a if someone dies and then they're not burnt

00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:29.680
to a fucking crisp within 24 hours they decompose

00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:32.339
and turn into a BT which then fucking ends up

00:32:32.339 --> 00:32:35.819
on the beach like all the buzzwords that you

00:32:35.819 --> 00:32:37.099
just said and you're reading it and you're going

00:32:37.099 --> 00:32:39.680
well You end up down a rabbit hole because someone

00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:42.660
mentions BT but doesn't say what a BT is. So

00:32:42.660 --> 00:32:45.359
you go, right, well, what's a BT? And then someone

00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:48.140
tells you what a BT is, and a BT is there because

00:32:48.140 --> 00:32:50.359
X, Y, and Z's happen, but they don't explain

00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:53.480
what X, Y, and Z is. So you go, right, I need

00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:58.480
to find out why that turns that into a BT. Why

00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:01.019
is there a whale above my head? The floor is

00:33:01.019 --> 00:33:03.039
black. What's happened? That all makes sense

00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:04.880
now. I actually understand it all. Yeah. So it's

00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:07.450
great. And I feel like I was... After reading

00:33:07.450 --> 00:33:10.829
quite a bit, it was all clicking a bit, but then

00:33:10.829 --> 00:33:14.309
it would throw something new at you that completely

00:33:14.309 --> 00:33:16.690
fucking knocks everything out and you go, well,

00:33:16.690 --> 00:33:18.849
fucking hell, I need to work this out as well.

00:33:19.089 --> 00:33:21.150
I think that was probably one of my biggest problems

00:33:21.150 --> 00:33:24.470
is I just couldn't work out what was happening.

00:33:24.769 --> 00:33:26.250
Told you you wouldn't finish that game, bro.

00:33:26.390 --> 00:33:28.430
It's tough, really tough. It's really tough.

00:33:28.470 --> 00:33:30.230
You've done more than I thought you would. Yeah.

00:33:30.250 --> 00:33:35.130
A lot more. I think the... It's one of those

00:33:35.130 --> 00:33:39.339
where... I know there'll be a lot of people that

00:33:39.339 --> 00:33:41.119
could just go into something like Death Stranding

00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:44.359
blind and then play it all the way through and

00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:47.359
go, yeah, no, that was crazy. But at the same

00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:49.059
time, I think there's a lot of people that will

00:33:49.059 --> 00:33:52.440
play it and would enjoy it, but they need to

00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:56.039
get a briefing of what's going on and like a

00:33:56.039 --> 00:34:00.160
thing for beginners before their first playthrough

00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:03.859
sort of thing to see. to make the game just that

00:34:03.859 --> 00:34:06.420
little bit more manageable and i feel like i

00:34:06.420 --> 00:34:09.300
am one of those people like with the repair spray

00:34:09.300 --> 00:34:11.659
and now you can just spin it around and all the

00:34:11.659 --> 00:34:16.840
little quirks and that that just help um but

00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:20.920
yeah yeah weird very weird one it's very good

00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:24.280
it's very good uh i'll definitely finish it it's

00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:28.289
i'm having a lot of fun with it um And, yeah,

00:34:28.369 --> 00:34:30.150
I'm actually understanding what's going on. The

00:34:30.150 --> 00:34:31.989
characters and that, they're cool as fuck. There's

00:34:31.989 --> 00:34:35.110
loads of new characters that are cool. What the

00:34:35.110 --> 00:34:37.170
fuck? Can you say what the setting is without

00:34:37.170 --> 00:34:40.909
it being a spoiler? What do you mean? Where is

00:34:40.909 --> 00:34:45.710
he? He's in America. Still in... Well, you do

00:34:45.710 --> 00:34:47.369
go somewhere else, but that would be a spoiler.

00:34:47.670 --> 00:34:49.949
That would be a spoiler? I'd say so. I don't

00:34:49.949 --> 00:34:54.859
know, because I never followed the review. the

00:34:54.859 --> 00:34:56.739
leading up to it. So I don't know what was marketed.

00:34:56.960 --> 00:34:58.800
I don't know if it was marketed that he was going

00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:00.320
to go somewhere else. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or if

00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:03.360
it was just things. I won't say how he gets there

00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:04.780
or why he gets there. I think I know where he's

00:35:04.780 --> 00:35:06.980
gone. I think I've seen the clip where he gives

00:35:06.980 --> 00:35:09.820
it away. So yeah, you go loads of places, man.

00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:15.079
Like scenic and unscenic stuff. There's things

00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:17.099
to see and there's not things to see. That's

00:35:17.099 --> 00:35:19.360
what he sees. I got a boomerang though. It's

00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:21.820
sick. You got a boomerang? A blood boomerang.

00:35:22.269 --> 00:35:23.989
Go on, then. Let's explain some of the weapons.

00:35:24.030 --> 00:35:27.050
Because in Death Stranding 1, there was a gun.

00:35:28.090 --> 00:35:31.190
That was about it. A little fucking taser thing.

00:35:31.369 --> 00:35:34.570
You do get more guns in Death Stranding 1. I've

00:35:34.570 --> 00:35:37.050
got an AR. I've got a sniper rifle. I've got

00:35:37.050 --> 00:35:38.909
a grenade launcher. I've got a fucking electrocution

00:35:38.909 --> 00:35:42.110
gun. I've got a bowler gun. I've got a grenade

00:35:42.110 --> 00:35:46.030
pistol. I've got a normal pistol. So what's a

00:35:46.030 --> 00:35:47.570
blood boomerang? What does that do? I've got

00:35:47.570 --> 00:35:49.679
a blood boomerang, yeah. You just... throw it

00:35:49.679 --> 00:35:51.900
like a boomerang but you hold the button and

00:35:51.900 --> 00:35:53.280
then the more you hold it the more blood you

00:35:53.280 --> 00:35:58.500
put in it yeah yeah the more damage it does yeah

00:35:58.500 --> 00:36:00.559
you got it obviously you're using your own life

00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:02.619
force in your blood and you have to replenish

00:36:02.619 --> 00:36:04.039
that blood and then you have to go and find the

00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:07.340
blood bags I can't remember how it was in Death

00:36:07.340 --> 00:36:09.380
Stranding 1 but if I've got four blood bags in

00:36:09.380 --> 00:36:12.300
my pockets once one's used it automatically just

00:36:12.300 --> 00:36:13.739
starts using the next one I haven't got like

00:36:13.739 --> 00:36:15.360
a quip it or nothing but then what happens when

00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:17.599
you run out of blood bags Then you just eat them

00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:20.300
little maggot things, cryptobites. And what do

00:36:20.300 --> 00:36:24.559
they do? Give you health back. And then, what?

00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:27.500
And then it refills the bags? No, it's just another

00:36:27.500 --> 00:36:29.980
way to get health. If you need more blood bags,

00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:33.679
just fabricate them in the little terminals.

00:36:34.199 --> 00:36:37.019
Make them. That's what the bugs were for? Yeah,

00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:41.019
they give you health and stamina. Oh, God. Didn't

00:36:41.019 --> 00:36:42.840
do that either, no? No, it's all squeezing me

00:36:42.840 --> 00:36:44.420
in the head. You've got electrobites as well,

00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:47.420
which give you, believe it or not, Battery for

00:36:47.420 --> 00:36:50.739
your electric stuff. Yeah. Is the car electric?

00:36:51.260 --> 00:36:52.840
Obviously. Yeah, yeah. Everything's electric.

00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:56.340
Everything's electric. I've got a little tricycle

00:36:56.340 --> 00:36:58.760
motorbike thing. Can you get ladders back yet?

00:36:59.099 --> 00:37:00.519
Yeah, I've got ladders. I've got loads of ladders.

00:37:00.579 --> 00:37:02.599
Yeah, but can you get them back once you've placed

00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:05.039
them? I don't know. I've never placed one. I

00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:07.019
just climb other people's. Oh, you never did

00:37:07.019 --> 00:37:09.380
that in Death Stranding 1? Yeah, I put them down

00:37:09.380 --> 00:37:11.659
in Death Stranding 1, but I don't know. You couldn't

00:37:11.659 --> 00:37:13.039
pick them up, could you? I don't think you could

00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:14.619
pick them up, no. I think you could just dismantle

00:37:14.619 --> 00:37:15.880
them and that was it. You could just get rid

00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:18.530
of them. No, I don't know. I don't think I've

00:37:18.530 --> 00:37:20.889
placed one in Death Stranding 2. You're just

00:37:20.889 --> 00:37:22.570
using everyone else's. That's fair enough. No,

00:37:22.610 --> 00:37:24.070
that's fair enough. I'm just driving, man. Well,

00:37:24.110 --> 00:37:27.909
I didn't know if I'd missed a mechanic. It's

00:37:27.909 --> 00:37:29.210
the same with the ropes. Wasn't it basically

00:37:29.210 --> 00:37:31.110
anything that you put down, you couldn't really

00:37:31.110 --> 00:37:33.670
get it back up? It's cool, though, because I've

00:37:33.670 --> 00:37:37.369
built a road, man. I found a road that was being

00:37:37.369 --> 00:37:41.170
built. Sounds like a hippie for the end of the

00:37:41.170 --> 00:37:43.409
world. There's a road I've built, man. You've

00:37:43.409 --> 00:37:46.550
got to come with me. I built, like, someone had

00:37:46.550 --> 00:37:48.130
already started building a road. Obviously, it

00:37:48.130 --> 00:37:50.010
gets to a certain point where it's just finished.

00:37:50.210 --> 00:37:52.329
It hasn't been done. I had loads of material,

00:37:52.429 --> 00:37:53.849
so I was just, like, fucking back and forth,

00:37:53.889 --> 00:37:55.769
back and forth, back and forth. I built, like,

00:37:55.789 --> 00:37:58.230
four or five parts of this road, man, and I connected

00:37:58.230 --> 00:38:00.070
it all the way up to the fucking next thing.

00:38:00.449 --> 00:38:03.090
I was so gassed. Because every time someone drives

00:38:03.090 --> 00:38:04.809
on it, it's like, do this, use your road, do

00:38:04.809 --> 00:38:06.610
this, use your road. And I'm like, yeah, man.

00:38:06.610 --> 00:38:08.489
So how, what is that, like, tarmac or something,

00:38:08.630 --> 00:38:12.250
or were you just digging a path in? No, so it's

00:38:12.250 --> 00:38:14.329
like, you... Like you and all the other porters.

00:38:14.349 --> 00:38:18.829
Like a bridge. Connect. Yeah, so you start building

00:38:18.829 --> 00:38:21.269
a road and then it will leave like a terminal

00:38:21.269 --> 00:38:25.750
where the next part of road would join if you

00:38:25.750 --> 00:38:28.289
had the sufficient materials. Oh, so it's not

00:38:28.289 --> 00:38:32.190
like you're not placing the road yourself. It's

00:38:32.190 --> 00:38:34.869
a predetermined thing that needs X amount of

00:38:34.869 --> 00:38:37.809
material. Yeah. Well, I don't know if they predetermined

00:38:37.809 --> 00:38:39.949
place it and then it builds it automatically

00:38:39.949 --> 00:38:43.059
from there or if... there's certain places you

00:38:43.059 --> 00:38:45.340
can put the road. I'm not sure on that. Yeah,

00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:47.340
because I think a bridge you can put wherever

00:38:47.340 --> 00:38:49.139
you want. Yeah, bridges you can. Because I built

00:38:49.139 --> 00:38:53.360
a bridge yesterday for the first time. And yeah,

00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:55.199
I built that. And I'm excited to see how many

00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:56.780
people have gone over it today. Yeah, because

00:38:56.780 --> 00:38:59.019
when you go up to stuff like that, it tells you

00:38:59.019 --> 00:39:00.579
how many people have liked it and shit like that.

00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:03.019
Yeah, and I'm excited to see that. How many people

00:39:03.019 --> 00:39:05.000
have used my road today and how many people have

00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:05.980
used my bridge. What do you get for that? Is

00:39:05.980 --> 00:39:07.800
it just currency? It's just likes, man. It's

00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:09.699
just likes. But it's just fun to see how many

00:39:09.699 --> 00:39:12.010
people have gone over it and shit. be like oh

00:39:12.010 --> 00:39:14.429
yeah that bridge was used it was helpful that

00:39:14.429 --> 00:39:16.630
was a good that was a good old bridge and it's

00:39:16.630 --> 00:39:18.550
nice when people pick up packages you've lost

00:39:18.550 --> 00:39:21.010
or you pick up theirs it tells you oh such has

00:39:21.010 --> 00:39:22.909
delivered your package for you and it's like

00:39:22.909 --> 00:39:25.030
oh cool man do you get anything back for that

00:39:25.030 --> 00:39:27.250
likes it's all likes what do you do with the

00:39:27.250 --> 00:39:30.900
likes nothing nothing it's just likes just Social

00:39:30.900 --> 00:39:33.280
media is the whole theme of the game, isn't it?

00:39:33.340 --> 00:39:35.159
The whole theme of the game, like the strand

00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:37.739
system, with everyone being stranded together

00:39:37.739 --> 00:39:40.900
and so far away but still connected. It's the

00:39:40.900 --> 00:39:44.099
whole theme of the game. So I remember when you

00:39:44.099 --> 00:39:46.980
could pick up parcels and then leave them in

00:39:46.980 --> 00:39:50.059
a... Was it a postbox? Was it called a postbox?

00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:55.519
You can put them in postboxes, yeah. So say someone...

00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:58.820
I come across a postbox and someone else has

00:39:58.820 --> 00:40:01.639
left parcels in there. I can just go in there

00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:03.980
and take them and then deliver them myself and

00:40:03.980 --> 00:40:06.880
get all the moolahs for them. Yeah, you can,

00:40:06.980 --> 00:40:10.900
someone can post them in places and it will say,

00:40:11.039 --> 00:40:15.480
entrust to other porters. Yeah, yeah. So yeah,

00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:17.519
you can, because that's what I do a lot. I go

00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:19.940
out, when I'm doing whatever I'm doing, I'll

00:40:19.940 --> 00:40:21.800
pick up loads of shit in the car, I'll just automatically

00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:23.900
pick it up and then when I get to whatever it

00:40:23.900 --> 00:40:25.659
was I was delivering, I'll hand the stuff in

00:40:25.659 --> 00:40:28.139
that I was supposed to deliver and then anything

00:40:28.139 --> 00:40:30.869
else I might have found. that was supposed to

00:40:30.869 --> 00:40:33.510
be delivered there. Anything that's fucking miles

00:40:33.510 --> 00:40:37.250
away, I'll just entrust to other reporters. And

00:40:37.250 --> 00:40:39.309
do they pick it up from the area? I don't know.

00:40:39.409 --> 00:40:41.989
I'm not sure about that part. Probably, but I'm

00:40:41.989 --> 00:40:45.010
not sure. There's loads of other ways, man. You

00:40:45.010 --> 00:40:47.769
can fast travel in a cool way that actually makes

00:40:47.769 --> 00:40:50.590
sense. Can't tell me because of spoilers? Yeah,

00:40:50.590 --> 00:40:53.210
yeah. Well, not really. I mean, it doesn't really

00:40:53.210 --> 00:40:55.849
matter, but yeah, kind of. But it's kind of like

00:40:55.849 --> 00:40:59.949
a spaceship -y kind of thing. And then there's

00:40:59.949 --> 00:41:02.690
a whole monorail system now that you can ride.

00:41:03.110 --> 00:41:06.030
And you can rebuild that like a road. There's

00:41:06.030 --> 00:41:08.769
loads of systems, man. The amount of systems

00:41:08.769 --> 00:41:10.969
in this game and the way they all intertwine

00:41:10.969 --> 00:41:13.489
is mental. The first one, I was like, this game's

00:41:13.489 --> 00:41:15.449
weird, bro. What are you going with? Because

00:41:15.449 --> 00:41:16.829
you went from Metal Gear Solid, which is one

00:41:16.829 --> 00:41:19.630
of the greatest series of all time, to this weird

00:41:19.630 --> 00:41:23.170
delivery simulator thing. Now the second one,

00:41:23.210 --> 00:41:25.480
I'm like, okay. picking up what you're putting

00:41:25.480 --> 00:41:27.880
down now. I'm getting it. Because the systems,

00:41:28.059 --> 00:41:30.260
and the technology itself, the PS5 is much more

00:41:30.260 --> 00:41:33.139
powerful. So it runs smoothly. It feels good.

00:41:33.380 --> 00:41:35.980
Do you think you could go back to Death Stranding

00:41:35.980 --> 00:41:38.500
1 and then get a better understanding since you're

00:41:38.500 --> 00:41:40.500
now playing Death Stranding 2? I could, but I

00:41:40.500 --> 00:41:42.219
won't. No, yeah. I'm not saying that you would.

00:41:42.219 --> 00:41:45.019
But yeah, if I did, I would. But I could see

00:41:45.019 --> 00:41:47.099
myself playing Death Stranding 2 and just fancy

00:41:47.099 --> 00:41:48.960
just going on there and just doing a couple of

00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:50.699
deliveries because there's something so peaceful

00:41:50.699 --> 00:41:53.099
about it. I don't know what it is, man. You know

00:41:53.099 --> 00:41:55.909
what? I get you. I do get you. It's weird, isn't

00:41:55.909 --> 00:41:57.869
it? Yeah, because that was the thing that I picked

00:41:57.869 --> 00:42:02.989
up on straight away, was I was like, I enjoy

00:42:02.989 --> 00:42:06.889
this, and there's something odd and simple about

00:42:06.889 --> 00:42:11.230
it. It's like, I think that's the buzz with playing

00:42:11.230 --> 00:42:13.789
a simulator type game. I know that Death Stranding

00:42:13.789 --> 00:42:17.610
isn't a simulator, but let's fucking harp with

00:42:17.610 --> 00:42:21.130
the rest of what people say and go, it is a walking

00:42:21.130 --> 00:42:25.610
delivery simulator. And there's something weird

00:42:25.610 --> 00:42:29.050
about playing something like that, which you

00:42:29.050 --> 00:42:31.230
can do in normal days. It's like farming simulator.

00:42:31.949 --> 00:42:34.809
You go, this is nice. This is hard, but this

00:42:34.809 --> 00:42:37.530
is nice. I'm doing a job, but not doing a job.

00:42:37.630 --> 00:42:40.789
Or fucking like HGV simulator or some shit like

00:42:40.789 --> 00:42:42.889
that. There was something weird about delivering

00:42:42.889 --> 00:42:46.489
parcels. Going like, I've done my job. I've done

00:42:46.489 --> 00:42:48.389
what I needed to do. Now let me go and get the

00:42:48.389 --> 00:42:51.519
next parcel. Well, did you know that... The actual

00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:53.380
porter system from Death Stranding is actually

00:42:53.380 --> 00:42:55.559
based on a real -life profession. And they're

00:42:55.559 --> 00:42:58.900
called bockers. Bockers. Or step cargo porters.

00:42:58.900 --> 00:43:00.960
And they carry over 100 kilograms of packages

00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:03.619
up and down harsh Japanese mountain trails where

00:43:03.619 --> 00:43:06.179
vehicles can't go. Some European countries, like

00:43:06.179 --> 00:43:08.619
Slovakia, also have them to this day. And here

00:43:08.619 --> 00:43:12.320
is some pictures of them. Oh, they look exactly

00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:15.719
like fucking Norman Reedus. How mental is that?

00:43:16.730 --> 00:43:18.429
They've actually got the backpack on. They're

00:43:18.429 --> 00:43:21.969
sitting down with it on their back. You look

00:43:21.969 --> 00:43:23.590
at the Australian and think, you look ridiculous.

00:43:23.690 --> 00:43:26.429
I mean, he's walking down a path that's been

00:43:26.429 --> 00:43:30.210
put in place by a vehicle. No, that's not. It

00:43:30.210 --> 00:43:33.309
looks like it, but it's not. I think it is. No,

00:43:33.309 --> 00:43:35.570
look, there it is. Planks. Yeah, I feel like

00:43:35.570 --> 00:43:38.449
you could get a motorbike down that. Or a very

00:43:38.449 --> 00:43:41.849
narrow car. Maybe, but then I imagine they're

00:43:41.849 --> 00:43:43.929
going up mountains. Yeah, but how many people

00:43:43.929 --> 00:43:45.849
are up in the fucking mountain that needed an

00:43:45.849 --> 00:43:48.849
Amazon? Well, the man needs their apples, bro.

00:43:49.630 --> 00:43:51.650
I mean, these apples ain't going to deliver themselves.

00:43:51.730 --> 00:43:53.429
I don't know what they're doing, but I found

00:43:53.429 --> 00:43:55.590
it fascinating that people actually do that shit.

00:43:56.050 --> 00:43:57.730
Obviously, you're not carrying around fucking

00:43:57.730 --> 00:44:00.210
bridge babies and whatever else you fucking got

00:44:00.210 --> 00:44:04.050
in your pockets. Blood grenades and shit. Fucking...

00:44:04.050 --> 00:44:08.349
They do hot lunch deliveries in India. They're

00:44:08.349 --> 00:44:10.880
called dabberwallas. are the people that deliver

00:44:10.880 --> 00:44:12.900
them and they're in metal tins and they go on

00:44:12.900 --> 00:44:15.239
trains and shit like that with massive crates

00:44:15.239 --> 00:44:17.940
full of these little individual metal tins and

00:44:17.940 --> 00:44:19.360
they go and deliver them to office buildings

00:44:19.360 --> 00:44:21.519
and stuff and they have it's something like a

00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:24.699
98 % success rate of delivering lunches that's

00:44:24.699 --> 00:44:27.119
very cool it's very cool I only know that because

00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:28.599
Top Gear did an episode on it where they thought

00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:30.559
they could do better and they did not I love

00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:32.860
Top Gear they spilled a lot of the lunches I

00:44:32.860 --> 00:44:37.219
am surprised yeah But yeah, man, I know you're

00:44:37.219 --> 00:44:38.599
not going to finish Death Stranding 1, but...

00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:42.400
How far in are you? About 30 hours, man. I feel

00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:44.440
like I'm really far, but I also feel like I'm

00:44:44.440 --> 00:44:46.840
nowhere near anywhere. I feel like once you get

00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:49.059
over the 20 -hour threshold, that's a good enough

00:44:49.059 --> 00:44:51.539
amount of hours to give a decent opinion on what's

00:44:51.539 --> 00:44:54.019
going on. Yeah, mate, it might be actually like

00:44:54.019 --> 00:44:58.059
20 hours, but it's very, like... No, don't do

00:44:58.059 --> 00:45:00.139
it. I know what you're going to do, and I don't

00:45:00.139 --> 00:45:03.150
want you to do it. Just leave it out. I'm having

00:45:03.150 --> 00:45:05.070
a great time and that's all that matters. Yeah,

00:45:05.090 --> 00:45:06.510
but I'm not going to tell you. No, but you said

00:45:06.510 --> 00:45:08.510
this last time and then you did. No, I didn't.

00:45:08.510 --> 00:45:10.130
You did. No, I definitely didn't. You definitely

00:45:10.130 --> 00:45:13.369
did. I can't remember what it was, but I think

00:45:13.369 --> 00:45:15.750
it was clear obscurity. No. It was something

00:45:15.750 --> 00:45:18.090
like that. But regardless... No, because you

00:45:18.090 --> 00:45:20.730
fucking tell me not to do it because you don't

00:45:20.730 --> 00:45:22.630
want to know and I do it and then you go, well,

00:45:22.650 --> 00:45:24.829
don't tell me and then you start asking me...

00:45:24.829 --> 00:45:26.829
No, I definitely don't. You start asking me the

00:45:26.829 --> 00:45:29.269
bullshit. No bullshit to be bullshit. That's

00:45:29.269 --> 00:45:30.550
right, I've already pressed the button to have

00:45:30.550 --> 00:45:32.949
a look. Okay, yeah, no, fair enough. I understand,

00:45:33.250 --> 00:45:36.429
you're done. It's a very good game. Well, you'll

00:45:36.429 --> 00:45:39.550
finish it in five hours. Okay, brilliant. It's

00:45:39.550 --> 00:45:42.949
a very good game. I highly recommend it. Obviously,

00:45:42.969 --> 00:45:45.309
I know you're not going to play it, but if you

00:45:45.309 --> 00:45:49.329
ever do in fucking years to come, it's a massive

00:45:49.329 --> 00:45:53.809
step up in everything. If I end up playing Death

00:45:53.809 --> 00:45:56.539
Stranding 1... and then going into Death Stranding

00:45:56.539 --> 00:45:59.340
2 if I ever get Death Stranding 1 what I will

00:45:59.340 --> 00:46:03.039
tell you is that I won't be airing it live that

00:46:03.039 --> 00:46:05.219
I will be playing Death Stranding 1 you will

00:46:05.219 --> 00:46:07.280
just have to catch me playing it because I don't

00:46:07.280 --> 00:46:10.280
want to have the embarrassment as I did with

00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:12.860
the last time by saying I will get this done

00:46:12.860 --> 00:46:15.280
I don't want to deal with it I'll treat it like

00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:17.420
I did when I quit smoking just not going to tell

00:46:17.420 --> 00:46:19.539
anyone because then I don't feel the pressure

00:46:19.539 --> 00:46:22.019
of it because right now I can sit here going

00:46:22.019 --> 00:46:25.880
we're talking about it one man to another and

00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:28.619
I feel excited about it and I'm like I want to

00:46:28.619 --> 00:46:31.539
go back over there download it with my super

00:46:31.539 --> 00:46:33.079
fast internet it will take me about 20 minutes

00:46:33.079 --> 00:46:35.699
to download it and then start playing it again

00:46:35.699 --> 00:46:38.920
but at the same time I don't want to then hype

00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:41.239
everyone up going he's playing it again because

00:46:41.239 --> 00:46:43.719
if I let you all down then I feel terrible for

00:46:43.719 --> 00:46:46.860
it I might play it I might not I probably will

00:46:46.860 --> 00:46:49.320
I probably won't that's the attitude man who

00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:52.500
knows I might jump on it I might do it I might

00:46:52.500 --> 00:46:55.769
not That's just how it is. All I'm saying is,

00:46:55.869 --> 00:46:57.889
from when I played Death Stranding 1, this is

00:46:57.889 --> 00:47:00.570
like, this is the same game, but amped up in

00:47:00.570 --> 00:47:02.789
every possible way, better in every possible

00:47:02.789 --> 00:47:05.250
way. The story's actually digestible and I understand

00:47:05.250 --> 00:47:07.570
what's going on. The characters are better. Just

00:47:07.570 --> 00:47:09.389
everything's great. Everything's got purpose.

00:47:09.809 --> 00:47:12.570
Everything's streamlined to be better than it

00:47:12.570 --> 00:47:14.730
was. It felt very fidgety when I played it. Now

00:47:14.730 --> 00:47:16.289
it's very like, oh, I know how to do that. It's

00:47:16.289 --> 00:47:19.349
easy. I know how to do that. So there you go

00:47:19.349 --> 00:47:22.750
then. That is, that's the... That's a very informative

00:47:22.750 --> 00:47:26.050
podcast right there. Rematch. Decent game. 20

00:47:26.050 --> 00:47:28.610
quid. Fun football game. Buy that shit, man.

00:47:28.769 --> 00:47:33.489
Death Stranding 2. Fucking DPD. Have it out.

00:47:33.750 --> 00:47:37.190
FedEx. UPS. Norman Reedus. Royal Mail. Bitch.

00:47:37.329 --> 00:47:40.170
Have it. See you later, everyone. Ooroo. Ooroo.
