WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.080 It's a warm summer's day. There we go. For a 00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:07.299 third time's a charm. It's boiling outside. How 00:00:07.299 --> 00:00:09.000 many intros have we had where we've said it's 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:10.500 boiling, but it's genuinely boiling? I think 00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:12.699 it's like 30, 31 degrees outside. 31 degrees 00:00:12.699 --> 00:00:16.739 on the button. It's tasty. I love it. And we're 00:00:16.739 --> 00:00:19.420 here doing our podcast. Welcome to What's the 00:00:19.420 --> 00:00:22.820 Buttons? Straight off the bat, I'd like to get 00:00:22.820 --> 00:00:27.510 right in amongst it. Let's do it. Talk about 00:00:27.510 --> 00:00:30.289 a subject that I'm extremely excited about and 00:00:30.289 --> 00:00:34.090 very, very passionate about. Hit me. The Last 00:00:34.090 --> 00:00:36.869 of Us Chronological Order. Are you prepared for 00:00:36.869 --> 00:00:43.530 it? You're taking a piss, aren't you? Do you 00:00:43.530 --> 00:00:45.049 know what I'm on about? Yeah, I see it. You're 00:00:45.049 --> 00:00:46.570 taking a piss, are you? Yeah. Yeah, I was going 00:00:46.570 --> 00:00:48.689 to say. Oh, I can't wait. What are they doing? 00:00:48.890 --> 00:00:52.210 You like that. What are they doing? Do you want 00:00:52.210 --> 00:00:55.140 me to explain? how it works i have a theory i've 00:00:55.140 --> 00:00:57.200 not looked into it my theory is that they've 00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:01.500 just swapped parts around so it goes in chronological 00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:03.539 yeah yeah yeah yeah that's exactly what they've 00:01:03.539 --> 00:01:05.060 done well that's why i didn't look into it because 00:01:05.060 --> 00:01:07.780 it kind of told it yeah it's free so that's good 00:01:07.780 --> 00:01:12.519 actually is a decent update i will give i will 00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:16.340 give um credit to that because it is decent um 00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:21.340 What I'm not sure is the whole mantra of telling 00:01:21.340 --> 00:01:24.299 the story how it should have been told. Why wasn't 00:01:24.299 --> 00:01:26.480 that just done in the first place? Why didn't 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:28.519 we do that in the first place? Well, would that 00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:32.060 not give away the twists and turns? I don't know. 00:01:32.060 --> 00:01:34.359 Is it going to be chronological order from the 00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:36.799 rip, or is it an opt -in chronological order? 00:01:36.900 --> 00:01:39.099 I believe it's chronological order from the rip, 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:40.840 so it would be like where... Yeah, you're right. 00:01:40.900 --> 00:01:42.420 They should have just sold it then. They told 00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:44.180 the story the wrong way then. Where you've got, 00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:47.739 say, like... Ellie's in the aquarium. but you 00:01:47.739 --> 00:01:51.319 would then play as Abby when she's in that section 00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:52.659 of the aquarium. So it's kind of like they're 00:01:52.659 --> 00:01:55.640 following each other rather than you play 20 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.120 hours of Ellie and then 20 hours. Okay, okay. 00:01:59.260 --> 00:02:01.859 I believe that's how it's supposed to be. Yeah, 00:02:01.859 --> 00:02:03.859 that's pretty cool, but still, why just drop 00:02:03.859 --> 00:02:07.040 it out? It's just becoming the next fucking Skyrim. 00:02:07.180 --> 00:02:09.800 Yeah, it is, man. And I get that it's free, so 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:11.919 you can't complain and all that bollocks, but 00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.860 you can complain and we will because it's just 00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:19.490 resources. Stop milking the cunt. I've been milking 00:02:19.490 --> 00:02:22.569 that so much. It's good, though. But fuck me. 00:02:22.909 --> 00:02:26.969 You couldn't have given us online. Where's factions, 00:02:27.129 --> 00:02:30.250 man? Factions would have been a nice one to throw 00:02:30.250 --> 00:02:33.629 back in there. No. Here's the story again for 00:02:33.629 --> 00:02:35.870 the 10th time, but we've chopped it up and moved 00:02:35.870 --> 00:02:38.110 it around a little bit. But this is why I never 00:02:38.110 --> 00:02:40.550 understand stuff like this. Who's this for? Anyone 00:02:40.550 --> 00:02:42.409 that wants to play Last of Us surely has played 00:02:42.409 --> 00:02:45.750 it by now. Yes. Surely. Yes. So the best you're 00:02:45.750 --> 00:02:47.530 going to get is a player going back to play it 00:02:47.530 --> 00:02:49.689 again. What benefit is that to you? Don't know. 00:02:50.189 --> 00:02:53.030 I get it. I'm happy and I like the fact that 00:02:53.030 --> 00:02:54.650 they're very passionate about their creation. 00:02:54.830 --> 00:02:58.330 I love that. But you're not telling more story. 00:02:58.490 --> 00:03:00.960 You're just... moving it about I don't know I 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:03.900 don't get it throw a DLC in there yeah they do 00:03:03.900 --> 00:03:07.539 some weird stuff like God of War Ragnarok they 00:03:07.539 --> 00:03:10.620 added like a long time after the fact they added 00:03:10.620 --> 00:03:14.900 the Valhalla DLC or whatever it was called but 00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:18.120 it had an entire game mode it had a reason for 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.060 being there yeah had more story to tell if you 00:03:21.060 --> 00:03:22.879 wanted it still haven't played that you don't 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.580 really need to it's good but it's more God of 00:03:25.580 --> 00:03:29.469 War but without the puzzles yeah it's more It's 00:03:29.469 --> 00:03:31.430 more of that, but it kind of made sense. But 00:03:31.430 --> 00:03:33.810 just if they was like, tell you what, here's 00:03:33.810 --> 00:03:36.229 God of War Ragnarok, but we're going to switch 00:03:36.229 --> 00:03:37.530 the levels around a little bit. You'd be like, 00:03:37.590 --> 00:03:39.189 I'm not done. What's the fucking point of that? 00:03:39.590 --> 00:03:41.590 But that seems kind of what they're doing. Imagine 00:03:41.590 --> 00:03:45.870 that at an expo. You've got a whole arena of 00:03:45.870 --> 00:03:48.129 people and you'll just stand up and you go, we're 00:03:48.129 --> 00:03:49.969 going to do it again, but we're just going to 00:03:49.969 --> 00:03:52.250 twizzle it around a little bit. How excited are 00:03:52.250 --> 00:03:57.580 you? That's what doesn't make any sense. I like 00:03:57.580 --> 00:04:00.800 the fact that they keep going on it, but meaningful 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.939 stuff, please, if you're going to. Yeah, yeah. 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:07.319 Speaking of The Last of Us, I played that with 00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:09.879 Steph. People won't see what I'm pointing out. 00:04:09.939 --> 00:04:11.819 I'm pointing out The Last of Us Escape the Dark. 00:04:11.979 --> 00:04:17.779 I put a post out on our Instagram with the setup 00:04:17.779 --> 00:04:21.759 for it. Very, very fun. We lost our first game. 00:04:22.390 --> 00:04:24.730 first and only game yeah we lost you lost against 00:04:24.730 --> 00:04:27.949 the board yeah cool yeah yeah so you have to 00:04:27.949 --> 00:04:31.689 so the board gets laid out and it's basically 00:04:31.689 --> 00:04:35.430 there's a countdown by days and you have to explore 00:04:35.430 --> 00:04:37.329 different zones and the zones are all connected 00:04:37.329 --> 00:04:41.230 and basically you have to cut your way through 00:04:41.230 --> 00:04:46.350 a path to the final boss before the timer runs 00:04:46.350 --> 00:04:49.199 down And there's all different cards. Obviously, 00:04:49.220 --> 00:04:51.399 you can play all different characters like Joel, 00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:58.860 Ellie, Marlene and all that. But basically, there's 00:04:58.860 --> 00:05:01.019 all these different cards that you get that will 00:05:01.019 --> 00:05:03.959 give you cool shit, different moves that you 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:07.139 can do. There's ones that will take a day away 00:05:07.139 --> 00:05:10.019 from you on the timer and shit like that. So 00:05:10.019 --> 00:05:14.360 it's quite a lot of mechanics going on with it. 00:05:15.039 --> 00:05:17.740 and uh and yeah me and steph we sat down for 00:05:17.740 --> 00:05:21.060 maybe like maybe the best part of an hour setting 00:05:21.060 --> 00:05:24.100 it all up because it's the first time i actually 00:05:24.100 --> 00:05:28.360 had to look it was 2022 november was when i um 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:33.319 obviously uh funded the kickstarter for it so 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:36.680 we've only just played it now in fucking 2025 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:40.459 and when i first opened it up i was like oh my 00:05:40.459 --> 00:05:42.279 god there's fucking low you know when you just 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.120 see something you go i can't begin to wrap my 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:46.959 head around this basically like when we first 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.019 started dnd and you think fuck like how and then 00:05:50.019 --> 00:05:53.339 when you actually sit down and and and do read 00:05:53.339 --> 00:05:55.620 the instructions or steph reads them and then 00:05:55.620 --> 00:05:59.040 relays them back to me um yeah do you sit there 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:03.680 yeah and you this does this and you sit there 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.379 and you think actually it's not that bad and 00:06:05.379 --> 00:06:07.819 yeah we had our first first playthrough of it 00:06:07.819 --> 00:06:09.740 you can actually play it solo as well which is 00:06:09.740 --> 00:06:13.430 quite cool um And yeah, we died, man. We died. 00:06:13.529 --> 00:06:17.029 We made it to the final boss and then just got 00:06:17.029 --> 00:06:19.149 absolutely fucking battered because if one of 00:06:19.149 --> 00:06:21.329 you dies, that's it. It's game over. And you 00:06:21.329 --> 00:06:24.709 can split paths as well. So I can go off to the 00:06:24.709 --> 00:06:27.209 sewers and someone else can go off to the library 00:06:27.209 --> 00:06:30.769 or something like that to cover more bases. But 00:06:30.769 --> 00:06:33.550 yeah, if one of you dies, then you're fucked. 00:06:33.870 --> 00:06:37.029 Very, very fun game. I believe you can get it. 00:06:37.050 --> 00:06:39.319 It's fully released now as well. The Last of 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.220 Us Escape the Dark, if you'd like a little bit 00:06:41.220 --> 00:06:43.600 more of The Last of Us. If the chronological 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:45.860 order isn't cutting it for you, and you want 00:06:45.860 --> 00:06:48.079 the board game version of The Last of Us, then 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.939 fucking 60 quid, you can have it. You lucky bastards. 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.480 That's it. Enough of The Last of Us. Yeah, fuck 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.019 that. How's your space theme going? Good. Good? 00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.939 Yeah, I'm all in. In on? Everything. I've downloaded 00:07:01.939 --> 00:07:03.360 everything. I've got No Man's Sky on the go. 00:07:03.870 --> 00:07:06.529 Space Marine 2 is back downloaded. I played that 00:07:06.529 --> 00:07:08.089 the other day, that Horde mode. I was playing 00:07:08.089 --> 00:07:09.709 Space Marine 2 the other day. I didn't know you 00:07:09.709 --> 00:07:14.290 had it. Yeah. Yeah, I was playing that. What 00:07:14.290 --> 00:07:16.430 else did I download? I downloaded Rogue Trader 00:07:16.430 --> 00:07:19.089 again, which is the Baldur's Gate style. I was 00:07:19.089 --> 00:07:20.990 playing No Man's Sky as well. Yeah, I played 00:07:20.990 --> 00:07:23.410 No Man's Sky on the Friday when I got back. Didn't 00:07:23.410 --> 00:07:27.709 see you there, but I was on. That was a dig. 00:07:28.350 --> 00:07:30.170 No, it was just... That was a dig. It wasn't. 00:07:30.670 --> 00:07:33.519 Because I downloaded it. So did I. And I played 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:36.120 it. I made a new character. I didn't do that. 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:40.220 And then almost instantly remembered the mechanics 00:07:40.220 --> 00:07:43.180 and went, right, I don't need this. So went back 00:07:43.180 --> 00:07:45.920 onto my normal character. I thought I'd put more 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.180 hours in, to be fair, 60 hours. That's still 00:07:48.180 --> 00:07:49.720 a lot. On that character, it is quite a lot. 00:07:51.230 --> 00:07:53.569 and yeah jump back into that well I did the opposite 00:07:53.569 --> 00:07:56.110 I went straight onto my character had no idea 00:07:56.110 --> 00:07:59.110 well overwhelmed because I had what the fuck 00:07:59.110 --> 00:08:00.750 is going on loads of shit yeah how do I change 00:08:00.750 --> 00:08:03.569 how do I change view here what's what yeah what 00:08:03.569 --> 00:08:05.589 button is it and then I kept fucking shooting 00:08:05.589 --> 00:08:08.050 shit I was like fucking hell how do I change 00:08:08.050 --> 00:08:10.850 to the terrain it was just yeah but it's just 00:08:10.850 --> 00:08:14.209 no man's sky and it's good I had because obviously 00:08:14.209 --> 00:08:19.149 I went back into it and then called in my freighter 00:08:19.449 --> 00:08:21.250 And then, obviously, where it's been so long 00:08:21.250 --> 00:08:24.009 since I've been on it, none of my ships were 00:08:24.009 --> 00:08:27.449 on a mission. There's fucking loads of them just 00:08:27.449 --> 00:08:29.670 come flying in like a full -on flight. I got 00:08:29.670 --> 00:08:31.810 this really cool living ship one that I didn't 00:08:31.810 --> 00:08:33.990 even know I had, and it just looked so sick. 00:08:35.350 --> 00:08:38.350 And then, yeah, went into my freighter and then 00:08:38.350 --> 00:08:41.929 went to where you basically receive all the shit 00:08:41.929 --> 00:08:43.950 that you've got from people from sending out 00:08:43.950 --> 00:08:47.980 your ships on missions.

I've mainly just 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.059 been banging the two games I was playing, though. 00:10:02.139 --> 00:10:04.100 All of these are like little side pieces when 00:10:04.100 --> 00:10:06.879 I'm just desperate, but I'm just banging rematch 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.720 and Death Stranding, man. How's Death Stranding 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:12.940 going? Very good. I can't wait to play it it's 00:10:12.940 --> 00:10:15.240 all I think about most of the time yeah it's 00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:17.440 just anything exciting that's happened so far 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:22.179 how far in are you I don't know I think I said 00:10:22.179 --> 00:10:24.279 last time I put about I don't know how long I 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.679 said but now I've just gone like 25 hours yeah 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:29.320 I think I might have overcooked it last time 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:32.399 I put all my hours into rematch but what's the 00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:35.960 craziest thing that you've seen so far unexplainably 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:40.360 just loads of mad shit just big Squid monsters 00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:42.840 and shit. I haven't seen too many of them. They're 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.240 like, they just fucking, it's normally, because 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:47.860 I've done the whole game almost, almost the whole 00:10:47.860 --> 00:10:50.740 game in a truck. Yeah. So I haven't really had 00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:52.679 to do much of the other shit. It's just like, 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.120 this one can't go in water, load it in the pickup. 00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:58.580 Yeah, yeah. Whatever. I've seen a guitar. Yeah, 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:02.200 yeah, that's what the Higgs has got. Yeah. It's 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:04.139 got a guitar. Yeah, that's quite cool. And then 00:11:04.139 --> 00:11:05.759 there was a big baby samurai thing, but I don't 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:07.259 know what that was all about. Big baby samurai. 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:10.059 That's a weird game. It's a weird game. I don't 00:11:10.059 --> 00:11:12.279 know if he is a baby, but he defended me with 00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:14.539 a sword. He was like, who are you? And you went, 00:11:14.700 --> 00:11:17.340 like a baby. And it's just like, what is this? 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:21.000 What is going on? But yes, it's a madness. But 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:25.120 the game is like the fun moments, like yesterday. 00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:27.279 Because obviously I've done the whole game in 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:30.899 a truck, but now I'm at a point where I'm going 00:11:30.899 --> 00:11:32.620 up the snowy mountains and all that bollocks. 00:11:33.340 --> 00:11:36.919 And I didn't realise that snow was also like 00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:39.799 time for snow. I just thought it was pretty snow. 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:41.879 Yeah. Not the snow on the floor, the snow that 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:43.720 comes out of the sky. Oh, it was like time for 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:45.899 it. Yeah. I just thought it was snowing. Yeah. 00:11:45.940 --> 00:11:48.799 So I was like, whatever. So yeah, I've battered. 00:11:49.059 --> 00:11:51.639 Because I will take that truck anywhere. If it 00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:53.320 says you can't, I'll fucking get it up there. 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:55.960 I'm telling you, I've smashed that thing against 00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:58.240 rocks and mountains until it goes, I'll scar 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.139 in that shit up the top of a mountain. Yeah. 00:12:00.179 --> 00:12:02.820 It goes where I go. And that's what I did on 00:12:02.820 --> 00:12:05.580 this mountain. Is it battery operated? Yeah, 00:12:05.580 --> 00:12:06.620 it's battery operated. Do you have to keep charging 00:12:06.620 --> 00:12:09.009 it? I put loads of batteries on it. Right. I 00:12:09.009 --> 00:12:10.970 still put all my upgrades on the batteries. Yeah, 00:12:10.990 --> 00:12:13.970 nice. But then people put generators everywhere. 00:12:14.210 --> 00:12:15.370 So, you know what I mean? You're always running 00:12:15.370 --> 00:12:18.789 into a generator. Yeah. You keep going. But not 00:12:18.789 --> 00:12:20.889 the routes I take most of the time. No one's 00:12:20.889 --> 00:12:23.889 been there before. So, yeah, I was going up this 00:12:23.889 --> 00:12:26.190 mountain to do a delivery yesterday to connect 00:12:26.190 --> 00:12:28.990 them all to the network. And literally, probably 00:12:28.990 --> 00:12:32.789 like, I don't know, man, 200 meters from where 00:12:32.789 --> 00:12:34.769 I needed to get the battery died. And I was like, 00:12:34.889 --> 00:12:37.669 this has never happened before. So, I was like. 00:12:38.009 --> 00:12:41.049 Well, I guess I'll just wait till the fucking 00:12:41.049 --> 00:12:43.990 battery charges. Oh, they're like solar powered. 00:12:44.129 --> 00:12:47.190 Yeah, solar powered. So I got out and I thought, 00:12:47.210 --> 00:12:49.610 oh, I know if you rest and go to sleep while 00:12:49.610 --> 00:12:51.889 you're resting, so you hold square or whatever 00:12:51.889 --> 00:12:53.809 to rest and sit down on the floor and then you 00:12:53.809 --> 00:12:56.269 can go sleep, it will just charge while you're 00:12:56.269 --> 00:12:58.549 asleep. But it won't let me sleep because it's 00:12:58.549 --> 00:13:00.649 snowing. So I'm not allowed to sleep. You can't 00:13:00.649 --> 00:13:03.309 sleep in the motor. No, no, no. You're not inside 00:13:03.309 --> 00:13:05.769 anyway. You're on top of it, aren't you? I don't 00:13:05.769 --> 00:13:08.409 know. You keep talking about the truck. I haven't 00:13:08.409 --> 00:13:11.490 actually seen what the truck is. It's called 00:13:11.490 --> 00:13:13.789 an off -roader. I think it was in the first one, 00:13:13.850 --> 00:13:17.909 to be honest. Is it called an off -roader? Off 00:13:17.909 --> 00:13:26.389 -road truck. Off -road wheels. Oh, yeah. That 00:13:26.389 --> 00:13:28.370 is not what I was expecting. Yeah, it's very 00:13:28.370 --> 00:13:30.629 cool. That is a cool bit. Oh, yeah, you just, 00:13:30.669 --> 00:13:32.250 like, sit in the front of it. Yeah, and then 00:13:32.250 --> 00:13:34.149 when you get out, it goes... And you get off 00:13:34.149 --> 00:13:35.830 and sit. Yeah, because you had the motorbike 00:13:35.830 --> 00:13:39.269 in... No, you got all that still, yeah. Yeah. 00:13:40.809 --> 00:13:43.850 So, yeah, I got... So I was sitting there. It 00:13:43.850 --> 00:13:45.210 wouldn't let me sleep, so I was like, fuck's 00:13:45.210 --> 00:13:49.309 sake. And I was like, but... There's definitely 00:13:49.309 --> 00:13:51.070 been a pop -up, and I don't want to Google anything 00:13:51.070 --> 00:13:53.210 about the game because I'm so sensitive to spoilers. 00:13:53.289 --> 00:13:56.029 I hate it. But it definitely popped up at one 00:13:56.029 --> 00:13:59.220 point saying that I can charge the truck. Somehow. 00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:01.360 But I can't remember how I was supposed to do 00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:03.639 it. But I've got gloves that are, like, electric. 00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:05.960 So I can, like, charge up an electric punch. 00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:08.840 So I thought, oh, that'll do it. So I charged 00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:11.500 up my electric punch, smashed the car. It just 00:14:11.500 --> 00:14:13.620 fucking zapped the whole car. It was just frying. 00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:17.379 Like, shaking phrases. I was like, oh, no. It 00:14:17.379 --> 00:14:18.500 wouldn't let me touch it. It wouldn't let me 00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:19.919 get on it. It was saying, you can't touch this. 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:22.580 This has been electrocuted. I was like, fucking 00:14:22.580 --> 00:14:24.919 hell. Are you sure that doesn't charge the battery? 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:26.200 No, well, that's what I thought was happening. 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:28.740 I'm not going to tell you, but I'm curious now. 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:32.399 So the car didn't charge, so it was all fucking, 00:14:32.580 --> 00:14:37.139 yeah, it was all just battered, fucking hanging 00:14:37.139 --> 00:14:39.759 by a thread. I was like, I haven't got any option, 00:14:39.820 --> 00:14:41.580 really, because it was pitch black as well, and 00:14:41.580 --> 00:14:43.360 wolves are howling. I don't know if wolves are 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.179 in the game, but there are animals. And I thought, 00:14:46.220 --> 00:14:48.840 oh, shit. So I just had to fucking dig the shit 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:51.419 out of the boot. Yeah. And then just book it 00:14:51.419 --> 00:14:54.720 over this mountain. So I took it out. But it 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.360 was massive. Normally, you would put it on a 00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:58.879 carrier or something, man. You wouldn't just 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:00.600 be lugging this shit on your back. But I didn't 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.259 prep for that, did I? So I just had it on my 00:15:03.259 --> 00:15:06.139 back and trying to go across this mountain to 00:15:06.139 --> 00:15:08.820 get to the delivery station. I made it, delivered 00:15:08.820 --> 00:15:11.639 it. First thing I did was run straight back to 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:13.820 the truck. Well, I went into the room, rested, 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.200 straight back to the truck, and it said the truck 00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:19.259 was, like, about to die from snow timefall or 00:15:19.259 --> 00:15:20.720 something. I was like, oh. Because it's still 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:23.080 got my shit in it. Like, I carry everything in 00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:25.720 it. Oh, does the truck itself get degraded by 00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:28.019 the timefall? Well, I didn't know that. Can you 00:15:28.019 --> 00:15:30.000 repair that? Yeah, but I don't know if you can 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.500 repair it out in the wild. Can you not use the... 00:15:32.500 --> 00:15:35.360 I don't know. Probably. I've never tried it. 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:37.059 I don't carry that shit, because it always goes 00:15:37.059 --> 00:15:39.350 in the boot. I never have to worry about container 00:15:39.350 --> 00:15:42.029 repair spray, ever. I think I sprayed it once. 00:15:43.110 --> 00:15:47.610 So yeah, I got back there, booked it to the thing 00:15:47.610 --> 00:15:49.830 and managed to get it repaired. But that moment 00:15:49.830 --> 00:15:52.649 of getting so close to it and then having to 00:15:52.649 --> 00:15:54.029 think, oh, what can I do? And then trying to 00:15:54.029 --> 00:15:58.090 work your own way out of the situation is really 00:15:58.090 --> 00:16:00.149 cool. But then now I'm on the mountain, I had 00:16:00.149 --> 00:16:01.870 another mission where I actually had to go find 00:16:01.870 --> 00:16:05.509 a geezer that had been stranded somewhere. And 00:16:05.509 --> 00:16:07.429 there was no way I was getting the truck up this 00:16:07.429 --> 00:16:09.610 mountain. It was like fucking... Vertical. Yeah, 00:16:09.610 --> 00:16:12.929 yeah. Just straight up. So for the first time, 00:16:12.950 --> 00:16:15.370 I had to use ladders and fucking... Fuming. ...rappels 00:16:15.370 --> 00:16:18.230 and shit. Fuming. You had to use the game mechanics. 00:16:18.289 --> 00:16:21.269 Yeah, I know. And then I found a geezer, and 00:16:21.269 --> 00:16:23.029 then I had to fucking lug the cunt all the way 00:16:23.029 --> 00:16:25.230 back. But there's been a bit... Well, you had 00:16:25.230 --> 00:16:27.389 to carry him back. Yeah, I had to carry him back. 00:16:27.629 --> 00:16:29.730 What was wrong with him? He was frozen. He was 00:16:29.730 --> 00:16:33.580 like... Oh, he was... But where the mountain 00:16:33.580 --> 00:16:36.980 was, I've come up this side and then I've put 00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:40.679 a ladder up here, climbed across, rappelled down 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:43.379 the other side, put a ladder there, gone a bit 00:16:43.379 --> 00:16:45.519 further, got the geyser. Not realising I could 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.059 just walk around that. That was not an obstacle 00:16:48.059 --> 00:16:50.639 I needed to climb over. I did not need to climb 00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:54.360 over that obstacle. And then I fell a bit down 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:57.980 the mountain and hurt him. So yeah, I'm not very 00:16:57.980 --> 00:17:00.360 good at the normal game mechanics. But no, it's 00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:02.299 just things like that. And the game is just so 00:17:02.299 --> 00:17:04.660 much better. The combat's more fun. There's so 00:17:04.660 --> 00:17:06.740 much enemy variety. They've all got different 00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:11.039 things. I've got so many different weapons. I've 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.900 got a coffin I can fucking... There's a coffin 00:17:15.900 --> 00:17:21.740 that you can hoverboard. It flies on the water, 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:24.359 man. It's fucking rapid. You can put dead bodies 00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:28.700 in it. to transport them or to stop them from 00:17:28.700 --> 00:17:31.680 fucking blowing up for a thing void out you can 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:34.259 climb in it if you climb in the coffin yeah to 00:17:34.259 --> 00:17:36.319 hide from an enemy you get in it and it just 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:39.630 goes sucks under the tar and disappears and then 00:17:39.630 --> 00:17:41.490 when an enemy comes you can jump out and grab 00:17:41.490 --> 00:17:43.910 them and shit so many things like that that's 00:17:43.910 --> 00:17:46.609 so weird like rocket you've got like full on 00:17:46.609 --> 00:17:49.109 mortar rockets you can fire packages and stuff 00:17:49.109 --> 00:17:51.650 you can put grenades in packages and fuzz them 00:17:51.650 --> 00:17:54.410 at people it's like I imagine if you actually 00:17:54.410 --> 00:17:56.170 sat there and watched all the crazy shit people 00:17:56.170 --> 00:17:58.829 could come up with it's kind of like a here's 00:17:58.829 --> 00:18:00.970 the mechanics go have fun and play and see what 00:18:00.970 --> 00:18:02.950 you can do yeah it's breath of the wild kind 00:18:02.950 --> 00:18:04.710 of thing there's so many different things put 00:18:04.710 --> 00:18:06.230 them together and see what crazy shit you can 00:18:06.230 --> 00:18:08.559 do Whereas I'm just very basic. Give me an AR. 00:18:08.980 --> 00:18:10.519 Let me shoot people in the head. Yeah, I've got 00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:12.680 an AR. I've got a grenade pistol. Yeah, and a 00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:14.880 letter. Find me the letterbox and I'll shoot 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:16.900 whatever's on the way. Something really cool 00:18:16.900 --> 00:18:20.079 was that... Once again, I don't want to spoil 00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:22.519 it. It's not really anything spoilery. But if 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:24.160 you're sensitive, don't listen. But there's a 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:27.319 pizza man. I think he's in the first one. You 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:30.440 deliver pizza to him. And this pizza guy wanted 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:34.309 pizza. So I delivered it. Fine. And then I was 00:18:34.309 --> 00:18:35.769 going through my inventory at some point and 00:18:35.769 --> 00:18:38.750 it was like I found a pizza pendant or something. 00:18:38.869 --> 00:18:41.109 I don't know what the fuck it was. So I tried 00:18:41.109 --> 00:18:44.490 to like entrust the cargo to another porter because 00:18:44.490 --> 00:18:46.230 I just, whatever you do, it wouldn't let me. 00:18:46.569 --> 00:18:48.289 And I looked at it and it said, oh, this gives 00:18:48.289 --> 00:18:51.490 access to the pizza man's door. I was like, weird. 00:18:52.170 --> 00:18:54.170 So I thought, fuck it, I'm intrigued. You've 00:18:54.170 --> 00:18:57.369 piqued my interest. So I fucking hossed it all 00:18:57.369 --> 00:19:01.160 the way back miles to the pizza man's door. And 00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:03.099 lo and behold, the fucking door opened, man. 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:05.259 Yeah. Couldn't believe it. I've never been in 00:19:05.259 --> 00:19:06.759 one of these little compounds before. And what 00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:09.000 was behind the pizza door? Pizza man making pizza. 00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:11.619 Yeah. And loads of fucking deadly robot samurais. 00:19:11.859 --> 00:19:14.539 I had to kill them. Deadly robot samurais? Yeah. 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:16.799 Making pizza? No, they weren't making pizza. 00:19:16.940 --> 00:19:18.279 They were just deadly robot samurais. Why were 00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:20.220 they? I don't really know. That's a bit weird. 00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:25.720 So it's a pizza hut. And you've gone in. And 00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:28.420 there's a geezer making pizza. Yep. Behind the 00:19:28.420 --> 00:19:31.680 counter. And then surrounded by deadly samurai 00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.619 robots. No, no. Okay. I've gone down the stairs 00:19:34.619 --> 00:19:36.900 into a room. There's deadly robot samurais. Yep. 00:19:37.180 --> 00:19:38.759 And then I've killed them and I've walked into 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:40.380 the next room and then there's a man making pizza. 00:19:40.940 --> 00:19:43.380 Okay. And then he turns around. Then we fight. 00:19:44.019 --> 00:19:46.400 But a quite comical fight where he's like throwing 00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:48.500 dough at me and I'm blocking it and stuff. Yeah. 00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:50.579 This is a cinematic, not me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:19:50.619 --> 00:19:52.519 But then it gets to the point where you're like... 00:19:52.829 --> 00:19:54.609 he's doing all these kung fu moves the fight 00:19:54.609 --> 00:19:56.650 goes on for ages cinematic it's like you will 00:19:56.650 --> 00:19:58.670 most people probably will never find this shit 00:19:58.670 --> 00:20:01.190 yeah but there's attention to detail and this 00:20:01.190 --> 00:20:03.769 is mad and then uh yeah it gets to the point 00:20:03.769 --> 00:20:06.470 where you're like ah and then he he accidentally 00:20:06.470 --> 00:20:08.450 like pulls a pizza out and it lands on your hand 00:20:08.450 --> 00:20:11.309 and then he's like oh sprinkle some stuff on 00:20:11.309 --> 00:20:13.250 the pizza then you eat it and it's just weird 00:20:13.250 --> 00:20:15.630 great but nevertheless the point i'm making is 00:20:15.630 --> 00:20:17.930 that happened very cool and then he messages 00:20:17.930 --> 00:20:21.049 you and he's like oh Here's a free pizza for 00:20:21.049 --> 00:20:23.789 you. Go into your weapons menu, hold L2, R2 and 00:20:23.789 --> 00:20:26.549 circle together for free pizza. I was like, what 00:20:26.549 --> 00:20:28.869 the fuck is going on? Went into the pizza menu, 00:20:29.109 --> 00:20:34.029 into the weapons menu, held L2, R2, held circle. 00:20:34.269 --> 00:20:36.970 The fucking little circle goes round like in 00:20:36.970 --> 00:20:39.950 a pizza shape. And then once the circle's like 00:20:39.950 --> 00:20:44.839 completed itself, turns all weapons deadly. all 00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.359 weapons full kill mode so it all goes red and 00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:50.920 these are all live ammo now it's just like that's 00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:54.359 how you learn how you can just kill people by 00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:56.480 the pizza man what do you mean it makes it all 00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:59.079 go live well because you don't fire guns do you 00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:01.380 you fire like blood or something yeah you can't 00:21:01.380 --> 00:21:03.940 shoot someone and kill them because you haven't 00:21:03.940 --> 00:21:05.960 got live rounds they're like whatever they are 00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:07.980 it was the same in the first one but there's 00:21:07.980 --> 00:21:11.839 a way to make them like make them live yeah but 00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:13.539 I don't know what their way was in the first 00:21:13.539 --> 00:21:15.119 one. I think you used to use that bowler gun 00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:17.480 all the time and shit, but in this one, yeah, 00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:19.900 you've got all sorts of guns, but none of them, 00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:22.059 they all just fire MP bullets, whatever the fuck 00:21:22.059 --> 00:21:25.960 that is. Non -deadly stuff, whatever. But yeah, 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:27.660 you hold that and the circle goes round and everything 00:21:27.660 --> 00:21:29.500 goes red and now you can just fire. I wonder 00:21:29.500 --> 00:21:31.259 if you have to have that interaction before you 00:21:31.259 --> 00:21:32.539 can make them deadly. Yeah, I doubt it. It's 00:21:32.539 --> 00:21:34.700 Kojima, man. He's weird, bro. He does some crazy 00:21:34.700 --> 00:21:37.740 stuff. Genius. So strange. I want to see the 00:21:37.740 --> 00:21:42.130 pizza, man. Pizza, man. Yeah, sick. Pizza. Oh, 00:21:42.170 --> 00:21:51.009 Pizza Chef. The Pizza Chef secret code. No? Probably 00:21:51.009 --> 00:21:54.289 is that, yeah. The Pizza Chef will send you an 00:21:54.289 --> 00:22:01.269 SSS telling you to press L2R2 plus circle. At 00:22:01.269 --> 00:22:04.329 the same time, doing this will unlock the live 00:22:04.329 --> 00:22:06.890 fire mode for any weapon you own. And by pressing 00:22:06.890 --> 00:22:09.289 these buttons again, you can go back to MP mode. 00:22:11.260 --> 00:22:13.359 Correct. It's just the game helping you when 00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:15.380 you actually focus on the details and listen 00:22:15.380 --> 00:22:27.240 to the people. Clever. Very cool. I don't know 00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:29.180 why it's like that, but it's cool, and I've never 00:22:29.180 --> 00:22:31.400 shot anyone with it, but once I've finished the 00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:33.460 game, I'll be killing everyone I see. The graphics 00:22:33.460 --> 00:22:34.799 in this game are fucking... The graphics are 00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:37.180 by far the best I've ever seen. Like, for example... 00:22:37.180 --> 00:22:39.140 They're mental, aren't they? When I was up there, 00:22:39.140 --> 00:22:41.599 that snow, the snow in that mountain is insane. 00:22:41.819 --> 00:22:44.059 The details on the fucking pizza in the cutscene, 00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:46.380 I'm looking at it now. Fucking hell. It's a joke. 00:22:46.539 --> 00:22:50.539 Jesus Christ. There's... Yeah, like, the details 00:22:50.539 --> 00:22:52.420 in the snow is insane. I'm going up the fucking 00:22:52.420 --> 00:22:56.299 mountain and, like... Quite often in this game 00:22:56.299 --> 00:22:58.000 you get random earthquakes. They're called, like, 00:22:58.059 --> 00:23:00.440 G -quakes or something. And it will, like, shake 00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:02.559 the whole earth and you have to hold on and fucking 00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:05.359 comes up. Oh, that was four on the G -scale or 00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:07.200 whatever. Fucking started happening up the mountain 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:10.480 yesterday. Nice. And these happen all the time, 00:23:10.500 --> 00:23:12.900 like, randomly. Not, like, perceived events. 00:23:14.329 --> 00:23:17.029 literally the fucking snow and shit started falling 00:23:17.029 --> 00:23:20.009 down the mountain like i've never seen like like 00:23:20.009 --> 00:23:23.309 uh what's the word fucking not dynamics but i 00:23:23.309 --> 00:23:26.329 don't know maybe a dynamic event that is so dynamic 00:23:26.329 --> 00:23:28.509 that it looks like it should be scripted because 00:23:28.509 --> 00:23:31.210 it was just insane like the way that snow comes 00:23:31.210 --> 00:23:34.279 down and I didn't get hit by it, luckily. It 00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:36.319 says, in Death Stranding 2 on the beach, earthquakes 00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:39.079 are a recurring natural disaster that will impact 00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:41.059 the landscape and force players to adapt their 00:23:41.059 --> 00:23:43.940 travel routes. The game features dynamic weather 00:23:43.940 --> 00:23:46.859 and terrain changes, including earthquakes, floods 00:23:46.859 --> 00:23:49.680 and bushfires. And sandstorms. Which can damage 00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:51.680 structures and alter the environment. Players 00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:54.039 will need to navigate these challenges and potentially 00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:57.160 rebuild infrastructure like roads and bridges. 00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:00.319 I've made another bridge in such a perfect place. 00:24:00.380 --> 00:24:02.579 Loads of people are using it. it just i don't 00:24:02.579 --> 00:24:05.240 know man it's just this game has got it's got 00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:07.900 some weird sauce bro and i'm drinking it and 00:24:07.900 --> 00:24:10.559 i want it in me and i'll keep drinking it and 00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:13.720 yeah i don't know i don't know i don't want to 00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:17.819 say anything but i'm gonna say it i'm gonna say 00:24:17.819 --> 00:24:20.200 it no you don't know what i'm gonna say i know 00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:22.660 exactly what you're gonna hit me you're either 00:24:22.660 --> 00:24:24.460 there's two things that you're gonna say here 00:24:24.460 --> 00:24:28.680 yeah either one of them begins with a g okay 00:24:29.420 --> 00:24:33.279 As in G -O -A -T. Okay, yeah. And the other one 00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:38.839 is going to be G -O -T -Y. Yeah, second one. 00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:41.140 Yeah, I figured, yeah. Well, no, because I don't 00:24:41.140 --> 00:24:43.660 know. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, I thought nailed 00:24:43.660 --> 00:24:45.039 it. I didn't think it was going to get topped. 00:24:45.339 --> 00:24:47.180 I don't know what else has been out this year. 00:24:47.220 --> 00:24:48.839 Let me have a look. Hit me with some names, because 00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:51.039 I know there's been some fucking mad games. Oh, 00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:54.759 Expedition 33. Game of the Year contenders. Probably 00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:58.039 will win it, but not for me. So here is the front 00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:03.079 runners. Click on that, please. We have... Would 00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:09.240 you fuck off? We have... Game of the Year front 00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:13.680 runners. Claire Obscure Expedition 33. Deserved. 00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:16.200 Why it could win. A critically acclaimed role 00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:18.299 -playing game, strong storytelling and performance, 00:25:18.539 --> 00:25:21.200 thematically resonant but also fun with slick 00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:24.740 production values and shiny graphics. Weaknesses. 00:25:24.740 --> 00:25:27.880 While it's a minor hit, enough people need to 00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:30.019 play Expedition 33, especially among the critical 00:25:30.019 --> 00:25:31.779 community, to keep it in the conversation for 00:25:31.779 --> 00:25:33.640 more than six months. Game Pass will help, but 00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:36.299 is it really big enough to win? Death Stranding 00:25:36.299 --> 00:25:40.410 2 on the beach. Why it could win. Hideo Kojima's 00:25:40.410 --> 00:25:45.569 sequel to his diverse, pathetic 2019 sci -fi 00:25:45.569 --> 00:25:48.049 epic about hiking across the barren wasteland 00:25:48.049 --> 00:25:50.609 between bunkers of civilization is both grander 00:25:50.609 --> 00:25:53.930 and more palatable than the original. A technically 00:25:53.930 --> 00:25:59.910 astounding, absorbing, ambitious dad game. What 00:25:59.910 --> 00:26:01.230 else is there? Don't worry about weaknesses. 00:26:01.369 --> 00:26:04.019 Hit me with the rest. Split fiction. Oh, you 00:26:04.019 --> 00:26:05.319 played that, didn't you? Split Fiction was very 00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:06.920 good. Did you finish it? I did, of course. I 00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:08.420 heard good things. Giza at work played that. 00:26:08.460 --> 00:26:12.700 Split Fiction was very good. Blueprints. Oh, 00:26:12.740 --> 00:26:14.799 yeah, that's a roguelike puzzle game. Everyone 00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:17.059 was going mad about that. Kingdom Come Deliverance 00:26:17.059 --> 00:26:20.839 2 was on there. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. 00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:23.299 That won't be winning. No. That won't be winning. 00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:26.319 Wouldn't have thought so. Dark Horses. Never 00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:28.880 heard of it. Obsidian Games traditional fantasy 00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:32.740 RPG. Had a slightly soft critical reception. 00:26:33.980 --> 00:26:39.559 Looked really fucking weird. Oh, sorry. No, sorry. 00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:42.460 I'm reading it like an idiot. Dark Horses is 00:26:42.460 --> 00:26:45.299 in the Dark Horses category. What a fucking idiot. 00:26:48.019 --> 00:26:52.500 Avowed is under that. And then Assassin's Creed 00:26:52.500 --> 00:26:59.180 Shadows. Despilote. Never heard of it. Ecuadorian 00:26:59.180 --> 00:27:02.779 slice of life indie game about soccer and childhood. 00:27:03.819 --> 00:27:09.339 Monster Hunter Wilds. The Altars. Upcoming titles. 00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:12.160 Which would be a cool one. So Metroid Prime 4 00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:15.680 Beyond. People will love that. Hades 2. Already 00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:20.500 got it. Hade it. Keeper. Never heard of it. We 00:27:20.500 --> 00:27:23.460 know next to nothing about Double Fine's next 00:27:23.460 --> 00:27:27.369 game during October. Ghost of Yotai. Donkey Kong 00:27:27.369 --> 00:27:34.849 Bonanza. And that is it for that list. Very intriguing. 00:27:35.190 --> 00:27:37.849 Well, right now for me, it's Death Stranding 00:27:37.849 --> 00:27:40.410 and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. And I don't think 00:27:40.410 --> 00:27:42.410 I could separate them regardless because Kingdom 00:27:42.410 --> 00:27:46.529 Come Deliverance 2 is probably the game of the 00:27:46.529 --> 00:27:48.490 year for me. How weird, isn't it? So if you think 00:27:48.490 --> 00:27:51.529 about it, so I've played Claire Obscure Expedition 00:27:51.529 --> 00:27:55.769 33. I know you have. You've played... And are 00:27:55.769 --> 00:27:58.170 playing Death Stranding 2. I've played Split 00:27:58.170 --> 00:28:01.569 Fiction. Neither of us have touched Blueprints. 00:28:01.910 --> 00:28:03.809 And you've played Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. 00:28:04.390 --> 00:28:09.529 So. Kind of have a decent. Knowledge. High of 00:28:09.529 --> 00:28:12.630 mind. As to what. If I had to pick between Claire 00:28:12.630 --> 00:28:15.230 Obscura and Split Fiction 2. That is really fucking 00:28:15.230 --> 00:28:19.369 tough. If I'm honest. I think. I'd probably give 00:28:19.369 --> 00:28:22.609 it to. clear obscure I think that's winning regardless 00:28:22.609 --> 00:28:24.789 I don't think anything happens is going to change 00:28:24.789 --> 00:28:26.329 that I think it's just a small team that was 00:28:26.329 --> 00:28:28.730 behind it and that's why they will win and I'm 00:28:28.730 --> 00:28:30.630 not saying they don't deserve it I'm just saying 00:28:30.630 --> 00:28:33.450 I feel like more should be looked at like what 00:28:33.450 --> 00:28:36.269 what War Horse which was also an indie studio 00:28:36.269 --> 00:28:38.609 probably still is considered I don't know what 00:28:38.609 --> 00:28:41.750 they're considered anymore but they kickstarted 00:28:41.750 --> 00:28:44.430 for Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 that was a kickstart 00:28:44.430 --> 00:28:47.289 game and what they've now created from KCD 1 00:28:47.289 --> 00:28:50.259 to KCD 2 is insane the mechanics and the way 00:28:50.259 --> 00:28:52.539 everything melds together the things you can 00:28:52.539 --> 00:28:54.900 do the length of that game the decisions the 00:28:54.900 --> 00:28:58.299 choices the consequence is it's probably like 00:28:58.299 --> 00:29:00.900 the most shocking game for that i've ever seen 00:29:00.900 --> 00:29:03.339 i've never experienced the weight of choices 00:29:03.339 --> 00:29:06.000 like you're getting that because there's no fantasy 00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:09.319 it's just real life people that you get to like 00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:11.299 actually care for and they're they're always 00:29:11.299 --> 00:29:13.720 in the world you can always go see them walking 00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:15.259 around doing whatever it is they're doing they're 00:29:15.259 --> 00:29:16.940 not just disappearing behind cut scenes they're 00:29:16.940 --> 00:29:19.339 always about You can rob them. You can do whatever. 00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:25.799 It's mental. There are IMDB lists where they 00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:29.599 set, I think, separate categories here where 00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:33.259 people are naming what they would expect to be 00:29:33.259 --> 00:29:38.579 in the nominees. Oh, these are for all the different 00:29:38.579 --> 00:29:43.759 categories. Game Awards 2025 nominees early predictions 00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:49.630 list updated from June 29th. 2025 so modified 00:29:49.630 --> 00:29:53.710 a week ago and then yeah game of the year is 00:29:53.710 --> 00:29:55.890 the games that we just listed there and then 00:29:55.890 --> 00:29:58.089 in brackets it's got the winner for Claire Obscure 00:29:58.089 --> 00:30:02.230 best RPG it's got all the different categories 00:30:02.230 --> 00:30:05.269 best action adventure game they reckon Death 00:30:05.269 --> 00:30:09.990 Stranding 2 will win that sound fucking probably 00:30:09.990 --> 00:30:15.930 Ninja Gaiden for best action game It's a long 00:30:15.930 --> 00:30:17.670 old list if we were going to fucking go through 00:30:17.670 --> 00:30:22.349 it all. I reckon Claire Obscure will get it just 00:30:22.349 --> 00:30:25.589 because of that indie flavour. And they'll deserve 00:30:25.589 --> 00:30:29.089 it if they do. My personal take would be KCD 00:30:29.089 --> 00:30:32.369 or DS too. For now. Unless something changes. 00:30:32.750 --> 00:30:34.809 I didn't expect to like Death Stranding 2 like 00:30:34.809 --> 00:30:36.529 this. I bought it kind of on a whim because as 00:30:36.529 --> 00:30:38.549 I said to you before, the first one was alright 00:30:38.549 --> 00:30:41.660 and I just got to the end because... i feel like 00:30:41.660 --> 00:30:44.460 i had to it was kojima was like growing up was 00:30:44.460 --> 00:30:47.759 one of my favorite people um just because of 00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:50.000 metal gear solid like are those ones where you 00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:52.380 think like i'll get it because it's it's kojima 00:30:52.380 --> 00:30:54.359 man yeah he hasn't done anything since milk is 00:30:54.359 --> 00:30:57.180 solid what and he's he's crazy clever man he's 00:30:57.180 --> 00:31:00.480 a genius uh so i'm surprised i've never thrown 00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:02.599 out a documentary for the man oh they were like 00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:05.220 just behind they will like get inside his fucking 00:31:05.220 --> 00:31:08.809 head But, yeah, so, and I was just like, it's 00:31:08.809 --> 00:31:10.470 all right, man, but I feel like you're trying 00:31:10.470 --> 00:31:12.809 too hard, like, trying to create your own genre 00:31:12.809 --> 00:31:15.670 and all this stuff. It was like... What, who? 00:31:15.890 --> 00:31:18.569 What, Kojima? Yeah, because that was what he 00:31:18.569 --> 00:31:20.009 was doing. He was trying to create a whole new 00:31:20.009 --> 00:31:22.750 genre of games, like the Strand system, connectivity. 00:31:23.289 --> 00:31:25.549 I don't even know what you would class that as. 00:31:25.750 --> 00:31:29.190 Strand game, he calls it. Strand game. Yeah, 00:31:29.230 --> 00:31:31.369 because it's all connected to people, connecting 00:31:31.369 --> 00:31:33.849 to them, whilst you're connecting to other people 00:31:33.849 --> 00:31:36.079 in other worlds. It's all... I don't know. I 00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:37.519 don't know what he's doing. But it's a delivery 00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:39.779 game, isn't it? So it's a weird thing. It's like 00:31:39.779 --> 00:31:43.019 delivering pizzas, but you're not. And, you know, 00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:44.980 combat was very limited. But the second one, 00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.099 it's basically done what KCD 2 did to 1. It's 00:31:48.099 --> 00:31:51.599 just cranked everything up by tenfold, made everything 00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:55.299 tighter, more fluid, more enjoyable to do. And 00:31:55.299 --> 00:31:59.279 it's just such a better experience for it. And 00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:01.059 I'm actually following the story this time, whereas 00:32:01.059 --> 00:32:03.000 the first one, I didn't have a fucking clue what 00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:05.410 was going on. I have a clue. I actually know 00:32:05.410 --> 00:32:07.450 where I'm at in the story. And there's twists 00:32:07.450 --> 00:32:09.690 and turns and traitors and fucking all sorts 00:32:09.690 --> 00:32:12.750 of shit. And I'm invested, man. It's cool, bro. 00:32:12.890 --> 00:32:17.029 I've got a Reddit post. And to get this Reddit 00:32:17.029 --> 00:32:20.369 post, I typed in, how would you explain Death 00:32:20.369 --> 00:32:23.109 Stranding to someone that doesn't play Death 00:32:23.109 --> 00:32:27.000 Stranding? It says, basically, you play as a 00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:29.579 mailman in a post -apocalyptic sci -fi setting 00:32:29.579 --> 00:32:31.880 where civilization fell due to the connection 00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:35.019 between the world of the living and the world 00:32:35.019 --> 00:32:37.279 of the dead, which brought... with it new forms 00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:40.200 of matter and spectral creatures that cause atomic 00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:42.640 explosions at the slightest contact with living 00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:45.039 beings to reach your destination you have to 00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:46.799 plan your route and the equipment you will carry 00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:49.420 to overcome the obstacles and dangers along the 00:32:49.420 --> 00:32:51.680 way as you progress unlock many new tools of 00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:54.019 all kinds to optimize your deliveries and there 00:32:54.019 --> 00:33:00.099 is also a also an async Asynchronous multiplayer 00:33:00.099 --> 00:33:02.920 feature where you can collaborate with other 00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:05.299 players through shared buildings, signalling 00:33:05.299 --> 00:33:08.519 dangers and points of interest, material donations 00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:11.359 and other indirect interaction. Still doesn't 00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:13.180 explain what the fuck it does because then a 00:33:13.180 --> 00:33:17.000 whale comes and here's these hands dragging you 00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:20.839 from the fucking ground. For example, right, 00:33:20.940 --> 00:33:22.480 this is the last thing I'm going to say on it 00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:23.440 because I don't want to talk about it anymore 00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:26.780 because people probably want to play this. But 00:33:26.780 --> 00:33:29.180 yesterday, just by doing the delivery, you know 00:33:29.180 --> 00:33:31.519 you can do like extra deliveries and then your 00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:33.140 star rating goes up and then they give you new 00:33:33.140 --> 00:33:35.619 stuff. Yeah. Yesterday I got given an EX grenade. 00:33:35.940 --> 00:33:37.819 I was like, what the fuck is that? I'll tell 00:33:37.819 --> 00:33:40.940 you what it is. You can throw them at the BTs, 00:33:40.940 --> 00:33:44.819 like the big fucking ones, catch them, and then 00:33:44.819 --> 00:33:48.440 use them like Pokemon. Oh, cool. I haven't done 00:33:48.440 --> 00:33:49.880 it yet. That's very cool. That's what I've got. 00:33:50.250 --> 00:33:52.130 It's just like, the game just constantly gives 00:33:52.130 --> 00:33:54.329 you shit like that. EX ball. Yeah, it just gives 00:33:54.329 --> 00:33:56.130 you stuff constantly like that. Who's that BT? 00:33:57.029 --> 00:34:02.529 That's a massive whale. Now cry. Anyway, sick 00:34:02.529 --> 00:34:06.029 game. Can't wait to play it later. Still banging 00:34:06.029 --> 00:34:09.489 out rematch. Yep. I'm one division, oh, I'm a 00:34:09.489 --> 00:34:13.590 couple of wins away from diamond rank now. So, 00:34:13.670 --> 00:34:17.550 since last week, I was just in platinum. It's 00:34:17.550 --> 00:34:19.570 been a bit more of a slog trying to get up to 00:34:19.570 --> 00:34:22.409 the diamond. But I'm getting there. And then 00:34:22.409 --> 00:34:24.449 when I hit diamonds, just Masters is left. And 00:34:24.449 --> 00:34:26.630 that's like the best of the best. Top, top boy. 00:34:27.969 --> 00:34:34.690 Are you excited for the brand new limited edition 00:34:34.690 --> 00:34:38.809 PS5s that are coming? I didn't know they existed. 00:34:38.909 --> 00:34:41.690 Yeah, they're coming. Oh, they're coming. Ghost 00:34:41.690 --> 00:34:47.739 of Yotai editions. And they... You know the gold 00:34:47.739 --> 00:34:59.699 lining from... Jin Sakai's mask? Yeah. I don't 00:34:59.699 --> 00:35:03.480 know how you explain it. It is an art form, a 00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:07.219 thing. Is it Chinese, Japanese? Somewhere in 00:35:07.219 --> 00:35:09.440 Asia, I can't quite remember, where it's like, 00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:12.679 you know, if they smash a plate... And they put 00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:15.099 the plate back together and then hold it back 00:35:15.099 --> 00:35:19.059 together with gold shit. I know exactly what 00:35:19.059 --> 00:35:21.880 you're talking. Mosaic? I don't think that's 00:35:21.880 --> 00:35:23.860 what it's called, though. It's got an actual... 00:35:23.860 --> 00:35:26.780 You know the gold lines I'm on about. They're 00:35:26.780 --> 00:35:28.780 making a PlayStation with them fucking gold lines 00:35:28.780 --> 00:35:30.179 and then they're also making another one with 00:35:30.179 --> 00:35:34.300 black lines instead. But that is a thing where 00:35:34.300 --> 00:35:42.480 it's meant to highlight the... What is it? Highlight 00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:44.920 the defects in something but make it beautiful 00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:48.099 and make them stand out. But I can't remember 00:35:48.099 --> 00:35:51.380 what it's called. Well, a mosaic is a decorative 00:35:51.380 --> 00:35:54.159 artwork or pattern made by arranging small pieces 00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:56.480 of material like stone glass or tiles onto a 00:35:56.480 --> 00:36:04.880 surface. Let's go with that then. Gold leaf art. 00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:14.219 Yes. So that's coming. And then that's about 00:36:14.219 --> 00:36:17.179 it, mate. You know what I mean? I know what you 00:36:17.179 --> 00:36:20.139 mean. That's all I've really got. I've just been 00:36:20.139 --> 00:36:22.719 playing fucking World of Warcraft because the 00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:25.619 new patch comes out. Rinse my feet. Rinse my 00:36:25.619 --> 00:36:29.380 feet. New patch comes out in less than a month. 00:36:29.780 --> 00:36:34.460 So I'll be gone. I've already let Steph know 00:36:34.460 --> 00:36:39.340 that I'm going to play Demon Hunter. Everyone 00:36:39.340 --> 00:36:41.769 who... is in the guild that will listen to this 00:36:41.769 --> 00:36:43.289 will sit there and they'll go are you fucking 00:36:43.289 --> 00:36:45.250 kidding me because the last couple of days have 00:36:45.250 --> 00:36:46.710 been me sitting there going I'm going to play 00:36:46.710 --> 00:36:49.550 this no I'm going to play this no I'm going to 00:36:49.550 --> 00:36:52.369 let chat GPT tell me what I'm going to play I'm 00:36:52.369 --> 00:36:54.050 going to ignore that and I'm going to play what 00:36:54.050 --> 00:36:56.969 you know when you you know when you can't make 00:36:56.969 --> 00:36:59.510 a decision and you have various different answers 00:36:59.510 --> 00:37:01.889 so you say you put them in a spin the wheel or 00:37:01.889 --> 00:37:03.250 something like that or you let someone else pick 00:37:03.250 --> 00:37:06.980 for you But you know what one you want and someone 00:37:06.980 --> 00:37:08.719 picks and it's not the one that you want and 00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:11.420 you go, no. They go, well, why'd you fucking 00:37:11.420 --> 00:37:13.460 ask me to pick for you then? I go, I don't know. 00:37:15.099 --> 00:37:18.940 It's like that kind of bollocks. So yeah, that's 00:37:18.940 --> 00:37:26.679 basically that for me. Like I say, I was jumping 00:37:26.679 --> 00:37:28.940 back into Space Marine 2 because I never finished 00:37:28.940 --> 00:37:33.519 the campaign for that. So I was, well, still 00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:38.179 am. Playing that. It has a way of making you 00:37:38.179 --> 00:37:42.179 feel like such a badass. Just slaughtering waves 00:37:42.179 --> 00:37:44.780 upon waves and enemies upon enemies. I don't 00:37:44.780 --> 00:37:46.340 have PlayStation Plus, so I don't have the online 00:37:46.340 --> 00:37:50.199 aspect of it. And I refuse to pay the seven quid 00:37:50.199 --> 00:37:53.219 just to fucking jump on Space Marines on my own. 00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:55.760 I also played Helldivers 2, I forgot to add. 00:37:56.119 --> 00:37:58.000 They've got swords in that, haven't they? Have 00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:01.059 they? They have. I've got nothing, but everyone 00:38:01.059 --> 00:38:02.440 else has got everything. They've got samurai 00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:05.539 swords. I drop in. and it's like people are calling 00:38:05.539 --> 00:38:08.440 all sorts of crazy shit and i'm just like i've 00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:11.860 just got a machine gun i'm like level seven or 00:38:11.860 --> 00:38:15.019 something how how was it i had a great time yeah 00:38:15.019 --> 00:38:17.000 i like just shooting bugs because bugs at the 00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:20.440 moment and i'll talk about that in the patreon 00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:23.159 so i've got different subject to games but along 00:38:23.159 --> 00:38:25.639 the same line yeah to do with bugs we can roll 00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:29.059 out with that i've been Because I've been seeing 00:38:29.059 --> 00:38:31.539 a lot of clips with Helldivers too. It kind of 00:38:31.539 --> 00:38:33.519 had like a little bit of a resurgence. Oh, it's 00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:35.880 a fantastic game. I see why people fucking play 00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:37.619 that all the time. Yeah, because they had the 00:38:37.619 --> 00:38:40.780 drama with forcing people to have a PSN account. 00:38:41.099 --> 00:38:44.539 And they nerfed stuff, didn't they? Yeah. Yeah, 00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:46.360 I remember when they... Wasn't it like the Flamethrower? 00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:47.920 They massively nerfed and everyone was like, 00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:51.039 why are you nerfing that? And then it was like 00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:53.849 with the invasions where you'd finally... push 00:38:53.849 --> 00:38:55.789 like get to a point where you're you're repelling 00:38:55.789 --> 00:38:57.389 an invasion and then it's like the devs will 00:38:57.389 --> 00:38:59.829 just turn the fucking switch and they go no you're 00:38:59.829 --> 00:39:01.670 not yeah and everyone was like what's the fucking 00:39:01.670 --> 00:39:04.050 point if you're not going to let us win what 00:39:04.050 --> 00:39:06.570 is the point of putting all this effort in but 00:39:06.570 --> 00:39:11.309 i believe like um and it will they they probably 00:39:11.309 --> 00:39:16.059 feel like a like an elite sector of Helldivers 00:39:16.059 --> 00:39:18.119 2 but when all that turmoil was going on and 00:39:18.119 --> 00:39:19.699 people dropping the game and going and doing 00:39:19.699 --> 00:39:21.880 other stuff and going oh fuck this I just know 00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:24.179 that there was a group of people that were just 00:39:24.179 --> 00:39:26.280 holding it down the entire time and they're like 00:39:26.280 --> 00:39:29.440 we were fucking OG we were the vets man for super 00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:31.679 earth you don't understand you left and come 00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:34.340 back we were there we were fucking there the 00:39:34.340 --> 00:39:36.780 whole time what I love about Helldivers 2 is 00:39:36.780 --> 00:39:40.340 that the only FOMO that's there for that game 00:39:40.340 --> 00:39:42.900 is like missing the events where they happen 00:39:42.900 --> 00:39:45.539 like game moments where it's like oh do you remember 00:39:45.539 --> 00:39:48.639 when the fucking robots invaded and we did this 00:39:48.639 --> 00:39:50.880 and that you're missing that like content wise 00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:53.559 you can't miss it because you go back there and 00:39:53.559 --> 00:39:55.559 every like battle pass or whatever you want to 00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:57.579 call it is still available you can always get 00:39:57.579 --> 00:40:00.619 whatever you want anytime that is the way that 00:40:00.619 --> 00:40:03.110 all of it should be because FOMO is the cancer 00:40:03.110 --> 00:40:05.590 of this fucking industry. I wonder what the player 00:40:05.590 --> 00:40:08.610 count is. Pretty high, man. When I was playing 00:40:08.610 --> 00:40:11.070 on PS5 the other day, I was in a sector and I 00:40:11.070 --> 00:40:12.909 was looking, because it tells you how many Helldivers 00:40:12.909 --> 00:40:14.989 are active in different sectors. And the sectors 00:40:14.989 --> 00:40:17.710 I was looking at, one had 40 ,000, one had 60 00:40:17.710 --> 00:40:19.630 ,000. That was just two different sectors I looked 00:40:19.630 --> 00:40:22.170 in. That was just on PlayStation. I don't know 00:40:22.170 --> 00:40:23.949 if it's cross -play or whatnot. I think it is 00:40:23.949 --> 00:40:26.489 now. Steam Charts is always a skewed one, isn't 00:40:26.489 --> 00:40:29.289 it? Because it runs off of Steam. But there was... 00:40:31.139 --> 00:40:34.019 51 ,000 people playing four minutes ago. Yes, 00:40:34.019 --> 00:40:38.019 that's a lot. Yeah, same peak. An all -time peak 00:40:38.019 --> 00:40:41.980 of 458 ,000 people. That's a lot. And considering, 00:40:42.019 --> 00:40:44.000 like I say, the PlayStation and Xbox have got 00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:45.579 to be added into that as well. It's going to 00:40:45.579 --> 00:40:48.260 be a lot of people, man. It had a weird resurgence 00:40:48.260 --> 00:40:52.900 on May. An extra 32 ,500 people. It's just all 00:40:52.900 --> 00:40:54.360 the updates, isn't it? They do a new update. 00:40:54.440 --> 00:40:56.059 People come back, shoot some bugs, fuck off. 00:40:56.159 --> 00:40:59.019 Same as everything. It is a good one. It is a... 00:40:59.650 --> 00:41:02.170 Battlefront 2 just broke its record again. Where's 00:41:02.170 --> 00:41:04.469 Battlefront 3, man? Do say it. Do say it. Kick 00:41:04.469 --> 00:41:06.469 it. Do say it. It broke it again, did it? Yeah, 00:41:06.530 --> 00:41:08.949 don't stop breaking it, man. That's what a YouTube 00:41:08.949 --> 00:41:11.349 video said to me yesterday, and I said, you know 00:41:11.349 --> 00:41:13.289 what? That's a game I need to install again, 00:41:13.449 --> 00:41:16.030 because I fuck with Battlefront 2. Yeah, Jay 00:41:16.030 --> 00:41:19.110 showed me a clip of someone playing as Vader, 00:41:19.230 --> 00:41:21.750 and they just killed the entire team. They sort 00:41:21.750 --> 00:41:23.809 of ran around this corner, and then there was 00:41:23.809 --> 00:41:27.389 all there, and he just went... Just fucking choked 00:41:27.389 --> 00:41:28.829 them all and then the little scragglers that 00:41:28.829 --> 00:41:33.469 were left over. It looked fucking sick. I was 00:41:33.469 --> 00:41:35.090 bowling around the corner and you're like, oh 00:41:35.090 --> 00:41:40.050 fuck. Instantly. Battlefront 2 has doubled the 00:41:40.050 --> 00:41:42.409 total player count of every single Battlefield 00:41:42.409 --> 00:41:46.610 game combined. Oh yeah, that as well. Fucking 00:41:46.610 --> 00:41:50.130 hell. It's ridiculous. But yet they still consistently 00:41:50.130 --> 00:41:53.929 just churn out Battlefield. What are you doing? 00:41:54.539 --> 00:41:56.039 You know where your money is. Just do it right. 00:41:57.360 --> 00:42:02.119 Yeah. I don't get why. I don't get it, man. I 00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:04.599 know. It's infuriating. It's the most obvious 00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:08.019 answer in the world. Just do that. But no, we 00:42:08.019 --> 00:42:10.099 want to do everything the wrong way. There's 00:42:10.099 --> 00:42:15.400 a different universe where we're still doing 00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:19.920 a podcast and there's just a sector that's in 00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:22.619 charge of all games where they just sit next 00:42:22.619 --> 00:42:25.679 to us. while we do a podcast. And then we just 00:42:25.679 --> 00:42:27.260 look at them every now and then and go, that 00:42:27.260 --> 00:42:30.840 battlefront, do a number three of that. And then 00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:33.099 they'll just scribble it in their notebooks and 00:42:33.099 --> 00:42:34.699 they'll go, we'll get that done. We'll get that 00:42:34.699 --> 00:42:37.400 done. The last of us, stop dealing with that. 00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:39.159 Give us something, Kelsey. Put that down. We'll 00:42:39.159 --> 00:42:42.519 sort that out. New Skyrim, if you want to click 00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:44.980 that over. Fable, if that could come out soon, 00:42:45.059 --> 00:42:47.400 that would be great if we could do that. GTA 00:42:47.400 --> 00:42:50.849 6. If you want to bring that forward, then that 00:42:50.849 --> 00:42:51.989 would be great. And they will just scribble. 00:42:52.010 --> 00:42:54.190 These are great. These are great ideas. Yeah, 00:42:54.190 --> 00:42:56.090 yeah. We'll get that done, boss. Let's do this. 00:42:56.550 --> 00:42:58.989 It makes sense. The nemesis system, if you'd 00:42:58.989 --> 00:43:01.789 like to take the chains off of that so other 00:43:01.789 --> 00:43:05.070 people can have a little look at that. I didn't 00:43:05.070 --> 00:43:07.190 watch that video, but a video popped up yesterday 00:43:07.190 --> 00:43:10.969 and it said how someone used the nemesis system 00:43:10.969 --> 00:43:15.000 to create villains in their D &D campaign. But 00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:17.559 they modded it, if you know what I mean. So the 00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:20.019 villains had reason to be villains because they 00:43:20.019 --> 00:43:21.940 were doing shit. It was crazy. I thought, what 00:43:21.940 --> 00:43:24.199 an amazing system. Guess we'll never get to use 00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:28.139 it. No. Yeah, nice. Thank you so much. Warner 00:43:28.139 --> 00:43:30.980 Bros, you're the best. You're the best, man. 00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:35.380 I am going to buy. And this is a problem. I want 00:43:35.380 --> 00:43:37.739 to finish Death Stranding 2 because there's other 00:43:37.739 --> 00:43:39.320 games I want to do. I want to go back to Rogue 00:43:39.320 --> 00:43:42.730 Trader at some point. but i also want to i want 00:43:42.730 --> 00:43:45.369 to try this more i'm a dark tide man it's good 00:43:45.369 --> 00:43:47.809 yeah they've just brought out a new class aren't 00:43:47.809 --> 00:43:49.829 they because i watched the resurgence that's 00:43:49.829 --> 00:43:53.510 had a no man's sky redemption arc bro the amount 00:43:53.510 --> 00:43:55.849 of updates that's had and how shit it was at 00:43:55.849 --> 00:43:58.769 launch apparently is just like launched into 00:43:58.769 --> 00:44:01.050 stratosphere it wasn't fun when it first come 00:44:01.050 --> 00:44:03.130 out i remember that the redemption arc has been 00:44:03.130 --> 00:44:05.809 real and and this is like two years later whatever 00:44:05.809 --> 00:44:09.150 their first expansion proper expansion and it's 00:44:09.150 --> 00:44:11.960 got like the like the judge dread, basically 00:44:11.960 --> 00:44:15.039 the police, the big fucking enforcers of war, 00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:19.599 basically with its fucking, with their, um, with 00:44:19.599 --> 00:44:22.539 their big robot dog. 23rd of June. The developers 00:44:22.539 --> 00:44:24.539 are psychopaths for releasing a new character 00:44:24.539 --> 00:44:30.059 DLC on a Monday. It's what we do. Best of the 00:44:30.059 --> 00:44:32.519 horde shooter genre in my opinion. Deep melee 00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:35.440 combat with a low skill floor but a very high 00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:37.599 ceiling on the highest difficulty levels. Many 00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:40.079 improvements and additions since release. Completely 00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:42.300 reworked skill trees for all the classes. Many 00:44:42.300 --> 00:44:45.519 new weapons plus crafting systems and maps. Very 00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:48.079 fun co -op game to play with your buddies. Don't 00:44:48.079 --> 00:44:50.139 expect an insane storyline but the world building 00:44:50.139 --> 00:44:52.420 and especially voice acting. I've read this review 00:44:52.420 --> 00:44:56.780 out before when we last spoke about it. I absolutely 00:44:56.780 --> 00:45:01.099 abhor the FOMO, stupid, expensive, cosmetic nonsense, 00:45:01.340 --> 00:45:04.739 but the game itself is fantastic, visceral, exciting, 00:45:05.059 --> 00:45:07.659 and a masterclass in environmental design and 00:45:07.659 --> 00:45:10.559 an absolutely banging soundtrack. That's what 00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:12.300 I mean. So I want to bang Death Stranding out, 00:45:12.380 --> 00:45:13.860 man, because I want to play this shit. And I 00:45:13.860 --> 00:45:16.360 feel like I'm missing out on the resurgence with 00:45:16.360 --> 00:45:18.980 the new class. You know me. I'm going to look 00:45:18.980 --> 00:45:21.079 at it and go, I want the big one with the new 00:45:21.079 --> 00:45:23.199 shit, please. Because it's not even that expensive, 00:45:23.260 --> 00:45:25.179 I think. It's always going on offer. One last 00:45:25.179 --> 00:45:27.619 one. It's a game about an empire with a serious 00:45:27.619 --> 00:45:30.079 are -we -the -baddies vibe that sends a bunch 00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:32.500 of prisoners in teams of four armed with shivs 00:45:32.500 --> 00:45:35.440 and laser guns to fight space zombies. My wife's 00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:37.960 boyfriend just says it's like Left 4 Dead 2, 00:45:38.099 --> 00:45:40.420 but now they can shoot at you. Basically, gun 00:45:40.420 --> 00:45:44.000 go brr, sword go swish, head go chop, psycho 00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:48.360 go boom. That's good. My wife's boyfriend. Oh, 00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:52.380 yeah. I didn't even hear that bit. My wife's 00:45:52.380 --> 00:45:55.619 boyfriend just says it's like Left 4 Dead 2. 00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:01.440 Well, there you go then. There you go. Need a 00:46:01.440 --> 00:46:03.639 poo. Merry Christmas. See you later, everyone. 00:46:03.800 --> 00:46:04.679 Ooroo. Ooroo.
