Hello everyone this is what's the buttons this is Rhys Lengden and with me I
have the Prince among men ash howdy as you might have heard I sound a bit a bit
fucking lackluster it's the end of the week it's been a long week and it's been
fucking hot again with a little bit of thunderstorms what the fuck was that
what was that someone's ringing me brilliant fantastic I'll put my phone on
silent as well Jesus Christ we'll jump straight into it I am going to start
things off with cult of the lamb we spoke about it last week what a fun
fucking game that is oh my god yeah did you enjoy it you're liking it I am
enjoying it I know I know that you won't have looked at anything for it but I see
a couple of not spoilers but I just saw how long the game time is well I won't
tell you so if anything that spurred me on a little bit to play a bit more
because I know I haven't got to invest 60 plus hours into it spoiler but I know
it's about 20 hours or something yeah I think it's around that but it is it's
fun man I've named everyone you're in it Connors Connor was in it Martin's in it
and there's there's obviously there's all of my my family are in it and yeah
Connor was the first person just to the side and try and throw a little mutiny
and rather than have him murdered in his sleep I ascended him to a higher being
so I was somewhat nice to him but it got rid of the problem and everyone
everyone shut up and got back in line but I have unlocked the ability to kill
people in their sleep and I'm looking to use it soon
this game's fucking mental I've fed people poo I've done all of that it's just fun man it's
just simple in it you know I mean you got a build build your little shit in
your camp like your mines and your your your lumber mill and all that and you
just go out and kill things in a dungeon and come back with more people and you
do rituals and set things on fire what's a decent little game mindset nothing on
fire are you not done I'm every danced around oh yeah dance around yeah yeah
pretty much and you get to see it is so strange because it makes it so cute with
the little animals all your followers are different animals like donkeys and
fucking rabbits and hedgehogs and all this different shit with cute little
colors and more out fucking bollocks so it looks lovely and then next thing you
know you're drinking someone's blood and fucking force-feeding them shit I saw a
view that said that the only reason they get away with it is because it's cute
little animals because if they were humans it'd be real fucking weird no the
game wouldn't exist in all the countries probably yeah because it is very very
sadistic I'm not that far in I think I'm about I'm about six or seven hours have
you killed any bosses yeah I think I've killed the first two bosses I think
I've done the first two as well maybe not the second one actually I don't
think I could second I think I've got like one more run till I get to the
second boss think I've got to run through the dungeon four times yeah yeah
and it tell I like how it it gives you the so you so the the dungeons are
multi-floored and it tell it gives you an option of what directions you want to
take and it tells you which so you might go you might go left or right or go
forwards and it will have say left will give you resources so logs and rocks and
shit like that going forward might mean that you get another follower going
right will be a question mark so you don't know what the fuck you're gonna
get and I like that it's a very common rogue like trope that that map so if
you played other rogue lights that wouldn't be such a shock to you but this
is my first one yeah well we've you liking this you probably would like the
bond of Isaac won't you go platinum it I might do is that is it the same sort of
yeah I mean it's very similar in without the sadistic farmville thing you just
keep on this one's about a child that's been neglected by his mother there's not
really a story gets thrown into a cellar and he shoots tears out of his eyes I
like that but yes there's that's like real synergy so you you know you just
shoot tears out your eyes and you can get power-ups and stuff like that but
you can get things that completely change you get abilities to fly you can
get but things synergize in terms of like you might get a you might pick up
an item that makes your tears into a circle so it will just fire circles
across the screen but then you might pick up another item which makes your
tears like home in so then all of a sudden you've got a circle that homes in
on enemies and then you might get another effect that every time you kill
an enemy it blows up the whole screen and the synergies in that game are nuts
there's not more synergies in any game than the bond of Isaac it's this probably
the best roguelike game ever made so and they do have that sort of that ability
style in cult of the lamb because you can get different abilities when you go
into the dungeons yeah no way near the levels of binding of Isaac like it's
very light in that respect I was hoping for more more synergies that like
through the tarot cards I was hoping for a bit more but we aren't that far in
because I don't know if you've got it but I unlocked a thing where it it gave
me I think it was like another six different tarot cards that can pop up on
the I've watched other people's reviews and they said the same basically they
wanted more synergies and things like that but it has got a roadmap part on
the yeah I see that and on their Twitter they've said that there'll be many
content and updates and all sorts of things so the future for that game could
be pretty mad you know it could be a case of you know the binding of Isaac
started as a flash game yeah it's like it's had about seven expansions yeah and
now it's like seven expansions and it's like it's just insane what it is now if
you went back and watch videos of it when it first came out so the same could
be said with cult the lamb and whilst it's a techie subject I suppose I'm more
for I won't pay DLC because that means they'll put more into it yeah so I'm
all for free stuff but if you want the meaty stuff where they're adding like
you know big things in yeah whatever it is if it's decent and it's worth it
because as far as I know I did a little Google because with games like this I
tend to lose enjoyment in them if I know like you said it's 20 hours and then I'm
done I feel like what's the point in putting all my effort into this but you
can carry on afterwards you can just keep you can just keep going yeah you can
keep going you can keep running the dungeons you can keep your thing going
and and all the little stories that develop with your characters that is
the fun that is all what Reese wants to feed Connor shit why it doesn't like a
cut of his jib you know we had a fun little experience didn't we I can't
remember how it all played out but I did I was keeping you's updated you turn on
me you turn on me you know originally was gonna be between Connor or Clarkie in
the shit but in the end it was you use that you was the villain in this story
and it come out of nowhere because I thought we were pals I gave you
necklaces yeah I had a necklace that was gonna make you live twice as long yeah
you didn't get that necklace because you were a dickhead and the problem was when
you turn on me there was ways around it so you could ascend like you said I could
do with Connor and there was you know you can talk to them and like try and
bring them back I tried that we're Connor first I tried it and it was going
down very slowly so the other option was to put you in jail put you in a stock
but yeah didn't think so that was my plan and I didn't want to let you go so
easily I thought I'm gonna you're coming back round you're coming back around
I'm gonna let Lang doggy dog leave or kill me so I spent as much time as I
could trying to get the prison the moment I unlocked the prison blueprint
yeah that's when it come up saying you'd left and you took my money you were
going straight in jail so you know what I did go on no punished Connor no no
that's wrong I punished Clark Connor's dead you killed him I was gonna say
Connor yeah yeah we've missed out that bit where I sent me a picture of it on
our little group was a video a video he had to pick between it was it was um
either we thought or you could just murder one of us yeah there's two
options obviously you can build different things you get two choices of
what you prefer and yeah it was a I could choose a fighting pit so to speak
and I thought well what way what better way to settle this than just to let them
fight to the death so you fought and then at the moat at the end I didn't
realize there's gonna be a Julius Caesar moment where it's thumbs up thumbs down
does Connor live or does Connor die and sorry Connor you're dead but yeah then
you left you turned on me you turned villainous there's your Joker origin
story you you left you took my money and you know in my blind fit of rage I just
built a prison for you Clark is in jail if I knew if no fault of his own he's
done nothing wrong if anything he's been an upstanding member of the of the cult
he's you know he's going around chopping the trees he's he's mining all the all
the stones and he's tending to the flowers he's picking up shit and putting
them on and and putting the shit on the flowers to make him grow and all of a
sudden I've ripped his life from under his feet and whacked him in jail and
every day I go and feed him poop and that's your fault yeah that's what he
deserves well he doesn't deserve it but there's only you Connor and Clarkie and
Connor's dead you've left how many people have you got I've got about eight
people yeah I stopped naming them because I didn't want to become so
attached to them I've named them all they're all they're all nearest and
dearest to me well they're good there's gonna be a Ling Dog the second and trust
me when I say he's gonna get fucked yeah he's the treatment that he's gonna
receive you know poor Clarkie he's gonna come out hopefully he doesn't hate me
he'll be back you know mining rocks and whatever else he was getting up to but
yeah it's Ling Dog the second he's gonna be I need it I need a scarecrow
because I've got I have a load of crops that keep getting fucked up by them
little seagull things that come one oh yeah I got a scarecrow oh I I one of my gripes
about this game is once you plate you can build your own base and once you
place something you can't move it yes you can yes you can how you just when you
when you go into the build menu you literally just press square or R3 or
whatever it is because I've moved I've moved everything all right maybe you
can't move little plots of vegetables in Michigan because I put I may I put some
plots of veggies down yeah about fucking ten of them and then I put down one of
the the the farm the barn things where you could then assign someone to do
blah blah blah but it's got it's got an area isn't it it's got a square around
it and if you plant things in that and then you have a silo the people
will automatically put fucking they'll replant and look after it well the shit
that I planted was outside of that fucking square so I then had to make
another one inside that so it would have helped if I could have just moved it but
I think I think you can I'll go on it later and I'll take a bit no I'm not
betting man well you are and you just cuz you've lost that you don't want to
take anymore man you are I've got pop figures to prove it you sausage no no
yeah I think it also to throw one point the artwork of this game is really cool
yeah stupendous it's really really nice it's a stupendous confectionary top
quality little bit of artistic work would you like a smartie these are
smarties indeed Americans are not gonna understand the
hardest geezers ever born looking forward to that fight Connor Ben
then you bank junior are they fine yeah I'm not really my sons Connor Ben and
Chris Eubank they they're not already full I saw a video the other day of his
son sitting in the corner and then Chris Eubank jumps in the ring and literally
just stares him for like two minutes and doesn't say anything and then walked out
yeah I don't know what you don't know what you're watching no they're they're
fighting but they're basically calorie and on their father's rivalry so there's
a lot of bad blood because obviously their fathers hated each other yeah well
I think more I think more you bank Ben hated Nigel Ben hated you bank because
you're more because you banks quite laid-back I just can't see you bank
being a scary man you know I mean it's the way to what you're talking about the
dad or the son the dad no that's good though because he's a he's a he's a
machine I think it's because of his the way that he speaks and his accent you'd
think he had an antique shop yeah in them wouldn't yeah proper posh but in
reality it just smack you and all your mates up yeah yeah yeah yeah you eat
them yeah I just can't I just can't say that in him would you like a toothy
decking you're on the floor anyway that's a bit off-subject yeah the funny
enough binding of Isaac one of the massive expansions that they had is
actually called a wrath of the lamb that's why I kept saying wrath of the
lamb wrath of the lamb but yeah cult of the lamb fantastic I hope they hope they
I know they've done really well they they tweet the other day that over a
million sold yeah for an indie title is very good very very good yeah would have
been 1 million and 5 if you'd give us a review code because we 100% we've had
five people buy it yep but they didn't did they because we're not fucking
influencers enough we don't influence enough to do that we'll get we'll get
there but yeah what what what a good little game what great little idea I'm
excited what future holds I hope to finish it because it's the sort of game
that I'm like yeah I love it and then I just never played yeah I took it's the
base building that gets me always gets me as base building but the thing is
that the way the game structured is fantastic because you you're always
unlocking saying and it's a game that you're kind of always in the tutorial
because even like you say I'm probably around the same sort of level as you 10
hours in whatever is and even at that point you're constantly being told why
don't you try this yeah do that oh this is just unlocked and even then there's
there's what three four different unlock trees you know and and once you've maxed
all them out I imagine as you can carry on the game you can probably unlock more
stuff I have found it easy I've died once and that was because I kept going
in the dungeon rather than fight the boss I can't remember how I did it but
there's a way to just keep going and I don't know how where it ends but the
enemies get harder and harder and harder and you know I kick my ass but I unlock
the ability to when I die I can sacrifice one of my followers to give me
health back yeah yeah depending how loyal they are it depends how many
hearts it gives you yeah but yeah what an interesting thought for a game when
interesting design and implemented stupendously and it's only 20 pounds it's
very cheap and very small yeah it's not gonna break the bank and it was one point
eight gig he's looking at you was I was like 200 gig yeah this game was one point
eight gig I downloaded it and I think it was about 30 seconds yeah literally
you're in this nutty yeah it's decent for for the quality of game you're
getting 20 pounds more than happy to pay that 100% I can see why they've sold a
million because I would like to see those figures if it was something like a
40 50 pound game I don't think that'd be as high as they are which is the
benefit of an indie game is that they normally don't charge that for the
future is bright the future is wrath of the lamb
cult of the lamb sorry I'm gonna I'm gonna look at their you carry on talking
I'll have a look at their Twitter and see what we'll see what they're saying
they did tweet something about DLC and I was like mmm moist and that was it mmm
you get to name your camp as well and I quite like that what did you call it I
just called it the stinky cult I couldn't I couldn't really think of
anything else and I've named all of my followers are like I said earlier Ash
Steph Connor who's no longer with with my cult and then my family are all on
there and it's just I saw someone with a cult of the lamb plushie and I want it
there's a cult of the lamb yeah I saw someone with the other day and I'm like I
need that because this is a cute little thing they they said that the lamb has
blessed 1 million players in our first week we are eternally grateful for your
devotion our team is committed to improving the game with tweaks fixes and
free major content updates this is only the beginning as there's so much room
for this cult to grow I also saw this little clip the other day someone's got
a hundred followers in their cult so I'm just gonna a hundred I'm just gonna
unmute what that sounds like oh my god let me see that obviously no one else
can see this that looks fucking like pandemonium what is going on there
there's no sound playing from that anymore yeah I know I don't know where
either way yeah I don't know how you're I don't know how you're supposed to
understand what is going on that looks incredible though is you know I mean
you don't don't sleep on it because I don't talk to my geezers yeah no I only
speak to the ones that they got a quest on yeah well they got something to say
but nine times out of ten I get there you know I pick some shit up repair some
beds yeah I did make it it's very regimented where I laid all the beds
that's where I put the graves so if you cross me you sleep next to the pod the
body yeah yeah yeah so if you fuck with me because there's only one body in there
and that one just died of natural causes I imagine the eight shit yeah because
they have ages didn't they and they get ill and stuff and they when they get old
have you seen an old person on there I think the oldest I've got is like 40
something when they're when they're old man it's a bit tear-jerking man they get
all wrinkly they get little walking stick and they like their fuck yeah
they're old bryce it's not really cute and then they die and yeah just stick
them in a pit yeah but you can also forgot that I'm over two people die or
three you know one you killed the other one died of right whatever disease it
had I think it had I don't know what had something it died so I put him in the
pit now another one just dropped dead while I was just like gardening mmm and
everyone was like oh my god Jeff's dead so I went over to him and I chopped him
up and fed him to everyone do you not feed these people yeah I fed them I
fed them Jeff that is so satanic yeah well that's the cult of the Vader isn't
it I love it he's dark white I've only got two graves and they're right in the
corner I was being next to the beds no next to the beds no my my beds are
somewhere in the middle and they're all square I need I've got I've got ten beds
at the moment and I think seven of them are huts I put little teepees over them
100% the God that you worship is gonna end up you're gonna end up fighting him
in you you know the one that's like oh well done little lamb here's a little
treat for you oh definitely definitely that's good but if anyone's obviously
there'll be people listening that have no idea we're on about you are a lamb
and you get killed and the devil brings you back essentially and says look I
brought you back run this fucking cult for me I'll make you a mortal you just
got a crack on and get as many followers as possible so every time you die if you
do die he just brings you back and he literally goes don't stress about that
you're a mortal here's a little treat for you and it it's gonna mmm I'm telling
you I reckon yeah you'll be fighting him because who are those two little things
that are next to him as well yeah he's little little minions yeah you're gonna
fight them first and you got he's chained up the devil was chained up by
four separate chains and the premise of the of the game so far is that you have
to go into these dungeons and every time you kill one of the bosses in these
dungeons it breaks the chain so breaking his chains I never noticed yeah there's
change breaking but I don't really know what yeah next time you go and see it
breaks his chain so you're releasing him effectively and I would like there to be
some form of twist as to when he's released if he'll be like look we won't
fight and I'll give you X Y & Z or we can have it out and then you can have
the chance of having everything and then become the devil himself you know I mean
yeah I think I'll be quiet that'll be interesting and hopefully by next week
well definitely by next week I will have found out exactly what goes on and then
knowing me I'll find out exactly what goes on and I'll uninstall the game and
never touch it again no that's normally what happens I'm excited to see what the
future holds for Colt the lamb but I was gonna say something which you've made me
forget sorry we're talking about the devil and yeah oh yeah I really like the
the soundtrack and the little noise yeah yeah no one speaks English
spider that kids you want this one yeah yeah they don't speak they don't speak
any languages it's just really fucking weird and yeah the little tune in the
background yeah it's very whimsical considering you're cutting someone's
head off and fucking dark and it you can't go that dark and be realistic
that's bad news bears but yeah no fantastic game here are what's the
buttons I think we decided our review score is gonna be based on like an s a
we've gone no man's sky with our reviews s a b and c d that's five so if you do
one out of five I'm in no man's sky doesn't have a day yeah it doesn't matter
we're not a man's sky we are what's the button why were you saying that it is
then I'm gonna say I didn't think about that I'm saying it's an a yeah I'm not
going s oh yeah I'd say could we be like yeah let's be a little cheeky with it
not be so boring I'm gonna go a plus a plus you can have an a minus you can
have an a plus for our American listeners a plus and a minus we don't
have that over it do we not no I never done my exams I don't think so no GCSE
isn't shit no they don't know no no they don't no all right we agree to
disagree we're gonna say a plus it's not perfect there's some bugs and there's
I think that needs more of like a synergy thing but I do think it could
push itself up to like an s it's an indie title so it deserves a little bit
more leeway and respect so for the limited budget I imagine they had he's
getting an a minimum and that budget ain't fucking limited anymore though is
it exactly so I think yeah I'm gonna give it an a Langdol's give it an a so
shout out wrath of the lamb cult of the lamb for fuck's sake cult of the lamb
cult of the lamb cult of the PS5 because that's the what I've reviewed it on yeah
and you and we haven't finished it but at the moment it's gonna get a tidy a plus
yeah and I think it will probably stay there I don't think I'll push it up to
an s but it will stay in the a plus mark yeah well congrats on being our first
ever review yeah it's a fantastic little game you should all be very proud of
yourselves yeah if you're not fucking with cult of the lamb yet you should
it's very fun cult of the Vader as mine is known but there we are hmm we digress
moving on you're in charge of this part what's right straight straight straight
straight we're not late to the party I actually played it on release and
completed it very shortly after it's just we forgot to well I forgot to talk
about it yeah last week I just didn't pop it on the list so we'll quickly talk
about it today you might as well do a review on that they're very fun very fun
this is Langdonk and what's the buttons review of stray it was tear joking at
the end I won't lie all the little talk you had okay I never played it so I have
very little to say about I reckon I don't spoil it for people I'm not gonna
spoil it but I reckon it would get you as well because it is good and it the
fact it's got a trophy on it where you can for you to complete it in under two
hours tells you how long the game is you know I mean it I did it in five and a
half hours and it was a good five and a half hours I didn't do everything like
collectible wise but I definitely did what I was happy to do I played it with
Steph she sat next to me and we ran for it she she loves cats so I thought this
is the perfect fucking game so she chilled with me while we played it and
we thoroughly enjoyed it it's the the so much personality from a cat doesn't
speak or anything nothing speaks it's all robots and again mechanical sympathy
kicks in very hard with with some of your robot friends and the puzzles are
cool the the the graphics were very fucking good all right well I've never
played it and I've watched about 12 seconds of video of it sell it to me
what what what is it what are you doing what's the game other than wandering
around as a cat that's all I know is it open world is there levels is if you is
there combat there has been an apocalyptic happening right and the
humans made robots they made intelligent AI to make their lives better so these
AI they used to cleaning and cooking and all that shit right so there's no humans
there's no humans so there's something's white the humans and what happened and
what made the robots the humans have made the robots but the robots have
stayed because obviously so the humans are all dead the humans are dead they
made robots to help them do mundane tasks the humans are dead the robots
lived the robot the robots of stage ruled by robots the world isn't ruled by
robots what's happened is the humans built built a pit right they built a
pit and they put all the poor people down in this pit or the the the the
shitty robots they put them in this pit and they left them and forgot about them
obviously up top they've all fucking died so in this pit it's very very very
deep there's a big old fucking metal roof on it that's shut so these robots
are essentially trapped and because you're a cat you weren't put in this
little fucking hole because you're a cat so you end up in this hole by accident
because you're playing around with your cat friends at the beginning of the
game and what you fall down a hole is it you fall down a hole into this into
somehow into this pit I think through the sewers or something and the the
idea of the game is to get this fucking pit open and set these robots free
there's these little orange globs I think they're called gurks or mercs or
something like that and they're they're like ticks that's the only way I could
describe them like little ticks and that's the enemy essentially and they're
a genetic mutation which I won't spoil it because it is part of the storyline
and you you fight them on your little travel how do you find you can slash them
with your claws you find this this will be easy for everyone to understand you
find this what's the thing what's the things in destiny called the fucking
fly is that on the mic it was it's been bugging me all fucking days so I've
eaten it now nice you know the the um I didn't eat a fly well it's been so long the things in
destiny your little robot friends ghosts your ghosts you basically end up with
one of them you find one of them does Peter Dinklage voice it there is no
voices well I'm not in them there's no voice acting it's the same premise as
cult of the lamb and you you find one of them and that that is your translator
between yourself as a cat to the robots because obviously the robots have their
own language and with this ghost you can find memories for the ghost again
there's a storyline there that I don't want to spoil for anyone who hasn't
played it because it is a big spoiler but that's part of the collectible side
of it and this ghost essentially just helps you traverse this pit because it
is just basically like it's it's like an entire city just with a roof on it so
there's skyscrapers and all sorts of shit and it's not a big world but it's
just it's just fun man yeah the premise is to get these robots out to get this
bunker open and that's basically it there's police robot police so what's
the robots reaction to a cat bowl in about now what they're not what the fuck
they freak out at the beginning yeah yeah they freak out because they know
that you aren't from where they are you're from outside so they got a fucking
hell and eventually you win them round and do they know you're a cat or do they
just think yeah no yeah they know you're okay they're smart they what's what's
kind of sweet about these robots is they they have gained their sentient so
they're not just AI they have thoughts and they have feelings and and they they
mimic their human counterparts so they'll all be walking around wearing
fucking clothes they all that they cook they clean they listen to music and
things like that and there's there's a there's a sweet little old lady robot
that's playing the guitar and you can run around and find her sheet music
there's ten different sheet musics that you find and you can sit next to her and
fucking per while she playing this music sat there for a good five minutes
because I didn't realize that it doesn't just stop once you lay down you just
stay laying down until you decide to move the controller so I literally sat
there thinking this song will be over soon it just went on for five minutes but
it was nice it was peaceful and yeah the robots say how they miss their human
counterparts and it's a good game man they miss them even though they
condemned them in a hole yeah listen cuz it cuz it was it was the rich it was
the rich that condemned them along with the poor people as well oh there was
poor people in there as well I believe there was or there was something to do
with with poor people and and it's it's for a game that cost 25 quid it it was
good and I think a lot of other people enjoyed it as well yeah 25 quid would we
say that the value is on par with cult of the lamb or similar yes yeah easily
because the story is good the story is good I won't lie to you the story is fun
is it just is it just like it's not levels is it so you just go in along and
then I imagine you were like so they'll hide the levels in terms of you know you
might fall down a slope and now you're in the sewers and there's chapters it does it in
chapters so it will say it would say like chapter 2 whatever and then obviously
we've done that chapter 3 and so on and there was yeah I think there was 10
chapters or 8 and it yeah that's it okay well I'm not too fond of cats I prefer
dogs so I won't plan it we'll just imagine it was a dog I think someone
modded it yeah probably but no it's just not for me I've seen enough and I've
heard enough like you can tell me what happens at the end and that will be
sufficient enough for me or I'll just watch a playthrough on YouTube actually
that'll be just as fun it's one of them games I think I prefer to watch them
then play someone modded it and change the cat to CJ from GTA San Andreas and I
find that hilarious someone's modded the spider-man on PC with Stan Lee spinning
around on the web and they've also made it the kingpin so you've got the kingpin
fighting the kingpin which is also very funny but yeah shout out Stan Lee legend
right so obviously I've got no say in this so what what's your scale review
for stray I put it I put it an a-minus still gonna ease a minus is not on s it's
not on s at all but it's it and it's not on a plus the the story is very good
it's very short the jumping mechanic was somewhat clunky that's another thing can
make you your cat meow on command of course you can it's just pressing
circle and you can scratch the floors up and all that shit but the
jumping I found quite annoying because where you have to press X but it gives
you a prompt on something that you can jump on I see that but you can't can't
jump willingly you can only jump to platforms that are allowed to jump yeah
and sometimes it was a bit because there's so much shit to jump on
sometimes there were certain things where it would get caught and you
couldn't it weren't prompting so you'd be you'd have to fiddle around and
sometimes it got weird annoying it happened a little more often than I'd
like and yeah it's just it it was decent but it wasn't it wasn't full no I mean
it was a good game I like the story but it was very much once you're done with
it that's it done and if you wanted to you could really just fucking blitz
for it I reckon I could go on it now and I could get it done in on two hours
yeah so but well done well mileage may vary it's not for me it's not for
everyone like every game isn't for everyone but I'll give that one a pass
but yeah I was happy to spend the money on it if it was more than 25 quid I
probably wouldn't have bothered I'm glad you enjoyed it yeah a-minus good so
that's our review for stray what's your thoughts on Game of Thrones I like Game
of Thrones right okay well don't need to hear any more than that good I've got a
bad well a good feeling I guess I'm gonna be playing Elden Ring again soon
well well they were not they've done a big patch the other day so a lot of the
stuff has changed the multiplayer has gone a bit nutty the they've nerfed
rivers of blood they've nerfed that bloodhound step yeah everyone was spamming
they've done all your stuff I'm just hearing very good things about that but
in regards to Elden Ring and the reason I think I'll be playing it again soon is
because the new Game of Thrones comes out Monday or Sunday night for Americans
I believe so House of Dragons first episode airs Monday it's got I saw a
review for it earlier it got an 8 out of 10 very good very exciting nice looks
very good and it's got dragons in it it's redemption arc it's got swords in
it it's very it's made by in George RR Martin it's just gonna make me go mmm I'd
like to play Elden Ring again I just know that's how my mind works so there's a
good chance I'll be playing that again will you be watching House of Dragons
yeah well done I love Game of Thrones I was lucky enough that I caught Game of
Thrones when Game of Thrones was finished so I was able to watch it all
as one I binged it because that ending was wank well it's not miss not spoil
it but you know I'm not gonna spoil anything but if I had to wait for that
like everyone else did and it was a long wait I'll be fucking fuming as well so I
sit on the other side of the fence when it comes to Game of Thrones I thought it
was very good through and through because I didn't have to wait see the
thing is with the ending or the I suppose there's kind of multiple endings
to that because there's a couple of stories I was just lazy writing I've
started so let me finish thank you there's multiple endings because there's
loads of stories that get tied up now I when I watched it I watched it with a
smile on my face and I was like mm-hmm okay wasn't I wasn't exactly excited I
don't know what I was expecting we all had our theories but they are I believe
that I got swept up in the misery because I was like no it's alright yeah
and because everyone hated it so much I felt like yeah yeah me too well you know
kind of joined in with the but I actually didn't mind it that much it
what don't get me wrong it could have done better but as I said about the last
of us two and the abuse that the developers got for that game people were
saying I don't like this because you're not telling the story that I want to
hear yeah but that doesn't make sense yeah you don't fucking make it though do
you dickhead you're the story is what they've told yeah whether you like it or
not you're basing the story on you know the story you know don't get annoyed
because they haven't done what you wanted them to do because then that's
your story but surely that means that the story was good if you've then got
annoyed because it hasn't gone the way that you wanted it means that you were
invested which then means that it was a good story to begin with I thought it's
a fantastic story I the only problem with it was that it ended abruptly which
I agree with and but I don't see how that could have ended because there's
thousands of stories in there well like I say I don't think the end
fucking buzzing phones it I don't think the ending was bad I just think I just I
can understand why people got annoyed because they would have had to wait for
how because the wait was long it was over six months on it yeah but that's
nothing I mean the walking dead still going have you watched the walking dead
I stopped yeah exactly season yeah I gave up about season 10 or whatever it
was and it's just like don't get me wrong yeah it's very repetitive and
there's people I know that still watch it now and I know it's coming to an end
finally but they're watching it because they feel they have to because they've
watched so much of it and I just thought I don't think Game of Thrones would have
ever got to that for me but I can see why they might have got itchy feet and
we need we need to pack this up I also think that the wages started going a bit
nuts and they wanted a lot of money and stuff and yeah it's not fucking friends
yeah so I think it just got very expensive very quickly so I imagine the
same will happen with house of dragons because obviously I don't know the
actors in there but I imagine a lot of them are plucked from obscurity and
given an opportunity to shine in the limelight so maybe that might happen for
them I don't know there might be really famous people in there haven't looked and
it will be overshadowed by Lord of the Rings no I don't think so I don't think
so I think I think I think Drogo would kill Balrog no yeah no you're mental no
you're mental you're John Snow would kill Gandalf ah yeah he's just a twat with a
sword he's got nothing special about him he's literally just got a sword that's
it he's not a twat he's got a sword and long luscious hair he's a bastard yeah
but he doesn't have anything does he he come back doesn't matter Gandalf's got
all I'm not gonna say you see him when he stands up it wouldn't be the night
king yes but you see him when he stands up and he screams at Bilbo Bilbo Baggins
and the whole fucking room goes dark oh yeah yeah yeah well scary some some old
man shouting at a child say his power for that little little little minute you go
fucking hell this guy's a bit nuts he fought that fucking thing I'm pointing at my
Balrog Funko pop look at it you shall not pass I do believe I'll give you that
the Lord of the Rings I watched that trailer I said that I wouldn't or didn't
and I didn't realize it had like it's like Sauron in it before he becomes
Sauron I guess yeah all the people whinging about that by the way but I
look forward to that it locks him with law that's how he is that's what I want
to see I want to see why he turned yeah that's how he was because he's the eye
any yeah yeah so why is he an eye that's what I want to know yeah well yeah so
yeah I will watch that I'll vibe with that so yeah that's that's House of Dragons
it's your show you do your thing Rose your show this week so what's the next
thing I think it's just what we played just just a heads up 40 minutes in we're
not there in an hour we've decided we can't be bothered to do an hour that's not
true not today we've got things we need to do I've got a cleaner car because I
got an MOT tomorrow and I yeah just just busy busy busy it was either that or
didn't put one out and as soon as that happens I feel like it's a slippery
slope want to keep consistent with it as much as you really possible so we're
trooping on the wheels stop turning on this gravy train and we stopped
receiving all the fucking money that we're getting for this thanks guys we
cannot have that so we just need to keep pumping out a class s-class content and
get it so what we're gonna do is we're now going to talk about what we've played
this week and then we're gonna fuck off and I have played a little bit of no man
sky have you actually it's calmed down a bit you still enjoying it yeah love that
it's calmed down a bit I was listening to last week's podcast in the way today
we want more powers yeah and listen to it yeah I can't remember where I was going with that
so yeah that was good
no I was laughing my head off
laughing at our own jokes is mental I have run out of tritium tritium no I was
listening to the I remember now I was listening to it and I remember you well
I heard you put it in your in your top three you put it as your top three game
yeah and and when you said it again I forgot and I was like wow yeah yeah wow
yeah it still sits there it's very fun I'm I think I've now I've now done the
main story I've now done the other little bit of the main story so now my
only bit on there is something that I can't do really unless I wanted to I
don't know how far you've got but yeah the point is fine the point now Matt
will essentially reset I don't want to be yeah you're gonna chuck you out
somewhere yeah yeah I don't know if it still does that have you checked it it
does and I don't want it because you get to pick what galaxy you want to go to
you get to choose so you can come out of Euclid which is the one that we're
currently in and go to fucking wherever you can still just can you not just
teleport back to your bases still because you can go to a space station
teleport so shouldn't matter too much you keep all of that but it it gets rid
of all of your mods I think mods or your mother for like you on your I think it
gets rid of it all I think it does it does reset it to a point well with your
ship it's like speech you out somewhere because it spat you so fast destroyed
all your equipment yeah I think it breaks everything so you have to rebuild it
again there's no need for that can you not just change galaxies without doing
it I don't know I'd have to a bit but you know yeah yeah without doing it yeah
you can move to a point because I've got a base set up on a different galaxy on a
paradise planet so you're talking about going to the center of the galaxy
mission that's what I speak to you about yeah that was the original ending I
thought they changed it no that's the one because it it asked me if I wanted
to do that and I went I googled it first because I was like I don't want to make
a mistake here so I ruined it for myself and it basically said that yeah you you
keep all your shit but it's broken and it's reset I think and I went up because
I then I googled I said is there any benefit to it and people were like if
you're happy in your current galaxy don't bother so I went all right well I
won't fucking bother them so what I'm doing now is I'm on the Facebook groups
here and all these bases all these mental farms and shit so I'm trying to
go and break them we're gonna go in the mercenary I want to destroy shit your
part and I'm hunting down a nest class freighter at the moment I keep finding a
classes I'm just not interested because I've got the money for an s-class how
much you got 250 odd million change something like that I've got some serious
and that's not even including the shit that's in my freighter I've just got
fucking bucket full of shit that sells for like 10 million here 15 million here
I'm just keeping it just for the sake of it because I can and I love that good
I'm glad you're enjoying it oh yeah I'm very pleased there'll be an update soon
but I can't fucking wait but at the moment my main issue is that I've run
out of tritonium just mine that from I know but I've got such a big fleet
expensive it spends it all so they haven't gone out they haven't gone out
I was a bit pissed off because I got I got a living frigate which I love and
then I found another one didn't realize that the cap for your frigates is 30 I
thought it was 50 but it's 30 I had 27 at the time paid nine and a half million
for this this net this another living frigate didn't rock up on my roster it's
gone but the 9 million ain't come back so I took out a couple of C classes and
now I've got 25 now so I've got five to play with and I'm only having fucking s
classes he's a pirate but stole your money bro but I'm gonna I am gonna start
blind the fuck out of people at the moment I got PvP turned off so I'm gonna
turn it back on this is just one of them games like say just continuously for the
rest of your life you just jump in do a bit and yeah yeah yeah fuck around I'm
seeing some really weird ships on the Facebook group that I want to try and
find some proper weird weird looking fucking things and there's one ship I
come after I can't remember what it's called but it's tiny it's like it's like
it looks like a little pod looking thing it's nice a hauler but it's tiny and I
want it because it looks ridiculous and I like that and I gotta get my squadron
up to four man at the moment it's only free there's loads of shit I've got to
do well there's plenty of time so that's pretty that's what I've been playing
and call the lamb I haven't been playing that much this week because it's for some
reason got really fucking hot again so it's just been a bit of me and
Steph are involved with watching killing Eve at the moment which is it's a lot of
fun to watch that nice so that's that's that's my shit pretty much I've been
playing well I haven't been playing that much this week but when I have I've been
playing warzone with the boys yeah I'm still enjoying it I'm getting more and
more hyped for modern warfare 2 obviously I've already pre-ordered the
vault edition I mentioned this on the first one it was a one-er but also the
good the good thing about it now is like I've played I haven't got the latest
core duty I had the black ops one before it and I had the modern warfare one
before that and I actually played both campaigns not many people do I loved it
but what I think they've done the smart this time is if you pre-order it I think
it much be PlayStation for you can play the game early play the game a week
early but having said that part if you pre-order it you can also play the
campaign a week earlier than that mmm so the campaign will be out before the
multiplayer so actually give people people will actually play the campaign
for once because they do such genuinely I know people shit will over call
jeans is called you and to some some extent I do agree but the campaigns are
they are really really campaigns are good I'll give now they're really good
the black ops one even had like choices and decisions to make yeah you know that
that sort of stuff they're like they are good games this is the thing they are
good it's just I think they take the piss with how big they are they just
take the yeah they are at the moment but that's all because they didn't expect
warzone to be as big as it was and they built it on the modern warfare engine
and they've tried to incorporate black ops and vanguard which are built from
entirely different engines and different companies and they've tried to
incorporate so you'll play like black ops and you like this is made by Treyarch
the game feels completely different to modern warfare yeah and then they've
put them guns and then perks into warzone so you're playing on modern
warfare engine so it's playing like modern warfare but you're playing with
back ops guns everything feels completely different warzone 2 I believe
is you're gonna be its own engine his own thing and they'll incorporate how
and that should make things so it should be better and it's supposed to be a
flash in a pan they got lucky in in a roundabout way which is wrong but in a
pandemic you know from a business standpoint they released it in a
pandemic where everyone was at home yeah warzone just went mental blew up and it
kind of got a lot of people through a very tough time so and I don't know man
it's just something about it's just very it's very enjoyable still satisfying
when you get your kill streak yeah well we got a win the other day and you know
Royce he's just there was we were both dead Royce he's just running around like
Rambo thing just just hiding the building bro he's got a bit of luck he's
managed to lay a few people down and then got a bit of lucky and bang we've
got dub and we're like we're cheering on the mic
it's a buzz it's about Royals fear it gives you a different feeling but yeah
modern warfare 2 I'm really looking forward to and I think that comes out in
October so not too long to wait and the warzone 2 release date has been leaked
to be November the 16th I believe and that's come from one of the leakers I
said Tom Henderson I think it was one of the really good reliable leakers near
the God of War release yeah yeah there well we did mention that me and Clarkie
so but yeah but we got enough time we'll get through that but your God of War is
getting plowed through because I don't want spoilers so this is true I just
want just before we go I just want to very quickly touch on did you watch that
video I sent in a while ago or not maybe last week of that guy on TikTok that is
he's filming stuff real-time through unreal engine 5 yeah I see that I'm sure
I've seen that before I'm not sure that's 100% accurate I'm sure I've seen
that clip before no he's got like he's got loads on there it's not just that
one singular clip and he gives a breakdown of what it is that he's running
it on looks mental it looks scary it's so realistic obviously I'm not very
technical so the stuff that he says in the description I don't fully
understand it but from what I can gather he's he's filming stuff with some form
of camera and then running it through unreal engine 5 so that it's real-time
but through the engine so what you're seeing is essentially what what a guy
are the capabilities of that engine and it's so fucking realistic and he's
basically he's like going soon enough people are gonna swap over onto unreal
engine 5 and this will be what games could potentially look like in the next
year or two and that is fucking terrifying if they can throw that into a
VR sense or get too scary man it's gonna be mental be dangerous I mean
because it is people start confusing real life with ordinary reality they have
to be very careful if you haven't if you haven't watched any footage of the
unreal engine 5 in its in its form I beg you go on to YouTube or whatever and
find some clips because I've never seen anything like it it looks ridiculous
unless you're looking hard you'd swear it's real and I just wanted to touch on
that because I think that's very very exciting good point and that's that that
was our little roundup nice one no longer than we plan to go so that's
delicious decent it's a decent one yeah very happy I the prince shall return
next week with Len dog Len dog will see us out yeah see you later everyone
thanks for listening bye bye
