42
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,720

43
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:06,000
people to notice it how we're quirky and we mmm we're not your average gaming

broadcast I'm ill as if I haven't didn't tell you you can tell good good we got

55
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:18,800
war zone yeah you want to talk about war zone and DMZ so I took the day off

56
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:24,680
Thursday booked annually well didn't pull a sticky much like I did with God of War

57
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,520
last week as well so I'm taking this podcast seriously I'm getting it in nice

58
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:33,200
ready for the content nice plus a lot playing computer games hmm so it's easy

59
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:40,880
way to deal with yeah so war zone came out I was skeptical you're skeptical I

60
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,360
was skeptical oh you was yeah just because there's a lot of changes what

61
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,920
you was or still are no I was hmm there's a lot of changes gameplay the

62
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:57,020
systems in place there's just a lot to it but I'm proud to announce it's fucking

63
00:05:57,020 --> 00:06:01,320
amazing yeah so much better than war zone one and all your little bedroom

64
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:08,440
streamers bitching and moaning mmm fuck off we don't like stream why any little

65
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:15,200
shit it's all about them man and if war zone now gets changed because of the

66
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,480
verts a little bit back to how it was then then it's just there's no point

67
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,960
because that right now as I'm pretty sure we spoke about this last week the

68
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:30,520
problem with war zone is for casual gamers casual Barry there's got a

69
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,840
full-time job and plays two hours on a Sunday mm-hmm you can't play war zone

70
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:38,840
but you can't play it because you're gonna jump on and you're just gonna get

71
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:42,840
bunny hopped on slide canceled they're gonna be jumping off the walls shooting

72
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:45,160
you in the face you're like this is crap mm-hmm

73
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:52,480
whereas now much more PUBG yeah as it fucking should be it's a big map yeah

74
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,120
you've got a backpack you pick items up you store them you can store more than

75
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:02,480
one of whatever you want in your backpack there's not so many conflicts

76
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,760
and when you do get into a fight with other players it is a battle of

77
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:13,160
positioning and gun skill it's not who's on PC and can press more buttons than me

78
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,880
and who's got scuff controller so I can jump around corners there's proximity

79
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,560
chat now as well as proximity chat is that always on or is that something that

80
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:26,080
you can turn off no I mean you can just mute your mic and we just go on a

81
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:31,160
fucking awesome I'll what you don't use a proximity chat no because the reason

82
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:36,960
why is because when I'm when I'm playing I'm playing with my pals and we're just

83
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:42,200
talking about stuff like I'll talk about you know what been up to I don't want to

84
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,680
be looking out a window in a building talking about my family and someone's

85
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,800
just sitting in a bush listening I literally it's just weird and it's

86
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:55,280
creepy I've seen some funny clips oh it's gonna be it's gonna be mental it is

87
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:01,760
gonna be mental like you can recruit you can recruit enemies to your team hmm so

88
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,680
I don't know if it's a specific mode we was playing trios me worse than Clarkie

89
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:10,840
and I downed a man and you can interrogate you can hold square

90
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,800
interrogate them and when the bars finished going up so risk obviously

91
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,720
you'll ping where they're put their teammates on the map which is pretty cool

92
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,480
you can also open your emote wheel and you can recruit them to your team and if

93
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,880
they accept then they'll become a teammate if they don't then they won't

94
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,880
what and they can start killing their own team yeah so you can like literally

95
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,920
convert I don't know how it works in time I don't know if you could have a

96
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:37,000
very 40 team man team or whatever the whole point I think mainly for the

97
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,480
proximity chat is one for the clips and two for the gulag now the gulag in war

98
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,920
zone one was a very simple case you died other people died around the map you

99
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,160
would be put in a 1v1 room whatever weapon was given to you and you would

100
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:56,360
just have a quick 1v1 whoever won got put back into the war zone now I don't

101
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,760
know if you're aware it's now 2v2 hmm you're put in there with another random

102
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,520
enemy who's died on the map but for this time you have to work together

103
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:12,680
hmm to try and get out but in the middle of the in the middle of the map after I

104
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:17,880
don't know 15 20 seconds a jailer will appear hmm if you kill the jailer you

105
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,320
take the key and you'll get to leave but to do that you will have to work together

106
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,440
not not kill each other over so proximity chat be like hey hey guys

107
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,200
you want to work together yeah yeah absolutely yeah I would be killing

108
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:35,280
exactly 100% trust nobody trust nobody but all these things are making it I

109
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,760
didn't think that would be a good system I really enjoy it and and if you die if

110
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,920
it's squad wipes at the same time sometimes you're in there with your

111
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,680
mate yeah it's rough edges rough launch as it always is trying to get into a

112
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:50,120
game is a pain in the ass it's a lot of service game if if Activision can't

113
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,320
sort it out no one's gonna be able to sort out no live service game is ever gonna get

114
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,960
mustered it's just impossible it's just it's normally just how it is especially

115
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,200
when it's with the big games because you get a lot of more because you say you

116
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,600
have a million people playing war zone war zone 2 you're gonna have one and a

117
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,560
half million because of the hype surrounding it exactly so you're always

118
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:11,960
gonna have way more people than what your servers are built for because it's

119
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,400
you just can't expect it and though you anticipate a rough launch and you know

120
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,040
it's gonna be annoying doesn't make it any less annoying no yeah still

121
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:25,960
frustrated and you're like I understand why this is happening but what I can say

122
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:31,680
is it is phenomenal but as I said back to my previous point streamers and stuff

123
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:36,640
have been moaning like crazy and they're saying their reasons for mainly

124
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:41,680
complaining is saying there's no skill gap no skill gap the skill gap is there

125
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:46,240
the skill gap is there more than ever because of it's now based on positioning

126
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,080
you need to get into a good position you need to read a map you need to look at the map and

127
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,440
go right we're moving here and then here and we're gonna get this higher ground

128
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,040
or we're gonna hold this building we're gonna lock this down instead of I slid

129
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,120
around a corner really fast yeah my frame rates quicker than yours I've seen a lot of

130
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:06,920
streamers on tik-tok I spent a lot of time on tik-tok and seeing a lot of

131
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:12,600
people complaining about about skill issues and things like that that's what

132
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,680
they're talking about and most of the clips you're seeing are these people

133
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:21,320
running through an open area zigzagging and then being beat down in a matter of

134
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:26,960
seconds no cover and getting angry that they that they've died and you sort of

135
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,480
think well what the fuck do you think is gonna happen you're running around in in

136
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:35,560
the open you go on PUBG you run around the open you're dead 100% that is like

137
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:39,760
number one rule of a battle royale or any any first-person shooter you do not

138
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,640
stand in the open simple as that so it's very annoying when you keep seeing all

139
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,480
these streamers and they might not even be streamers I might just be people who

140
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,160
just get a couple clips but people whinge in that there's an issue with the

141
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:59,320
game itself when you're dying because you're standing in the open what do you

142
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,720
think is going to happen it's so fucking annoying I'm with you if they change

143
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,320
start changing shit because streamers are complaining about it

144
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,720
dr. disrespects cart stops fucking whinging to me the tap man starts

145
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,040
whinging about some other shit you know I mean and then they start changing

146
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,480
things to accommodate them it's not fair because that sort of shit's happened

147
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,760
before you're not stupid for thinking that that could happen because it's

148
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,400
already happened many many many times in the past and that's fine but the way I

149
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:32,400
the way I see it and I spoke to Clark about earlier I think that I think this

150
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,400
is the way warzone was designed the way the multiplayer played a lot slower and

151
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,480
they're trying to move away maybe from that arcade II nature and arcade feel

152
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,800
because people now want escape from Tarkov kind of games they want military

153
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,880
simulators they don't just want arcade cool duty you know the multiplayer you

154
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,760
can go play like that if you really want to there's different modes different

155
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,480
maps where you can play that fast-paced multiplayer but there's a massive market

156
00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:00,680
now for more serious military simulations and it's whilst it's still

157
00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:08,480
very arcade II is so much slower and much more enjoyable for it because I've

158
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,560
always said if pub G was more polished I would be playing that all the time 100

159
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:16,200
and I joined that far too late so the skill gap is massive for me

160
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,400
pub G's fucking sick I love that yeah so do I but then I'm always getting killed

161
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,840
by level 100 whatever the highest rank and and it's just it's probably too late

162
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:29,120
to get good yeah me and Mark joined it quite early on and we got quite decent

163
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:34,400
very good at PUBG but it's that is the kind of game I think a lot of people

164
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:39,680
like and really set obviously the battle royale market off so I think I think

165
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:44,720
what they've done is fantastic but as I said to Clarky earlier hopefully if they

166
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:50,320
do stick with their guns and stay stay true to what they've made because it's

167
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:55,120
their vision should do then they've got something decent yeah then these other

168
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,960
streamers alive are suck it up and get on with it because I don't know what else

169
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,920
they're gonna move on to and if they and if they don't and they move on to other

170
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,120
things well the people in the market is still there for warzone 2 there'll be

171
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,200
another there'll be more streamers that are nobodies now coming up yeah people

172
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,840
will they'll grow because people want to watch warzone 2 no obviously because

173
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,640
I don't play it so my knowledge is limited but I see I've been seeing a

174
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,160
hell of a lot on this game but am I right in saying that people are

175
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:29,600
purposely throwing games to be put into bot lobbies to level shit up a lot easier

176
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,720
because of the skill based matchmaking system so to the point where the game

177
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,800
makes so they join a game and apparently just run around there was one video I

178
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,000
saw a tutorial on how to set up your controller so that you wouldn't have to

179
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,440
touch it and you'd always be running around in circles so that you would get

180
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:51,320
no kills and eventually be put into bot lobbies because you're just as far as

181
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:56,440
the games concerned that bad and then you can level up your guns and all that

182
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,160
sort of type of shit I've seen that been said before but it wasn't for leveling

183
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,920
up weapons it was so so the plan was I don't know they they done the analytics

184
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:10,200
and the metrics something like if you had a really bad KD or your KD was judged

185
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,480
over the course of say 10 games so if you went like hugely negative for 10

186
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:20,640
games then your 11th game would be in like a low rank lobby so then you'd

187
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:28,360
absolutely fry and frag out and then they'd post that on youtubers I don't

188
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,640
know if that is the case but that's what rumors are and I spoke last time about

189
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,120
the skill based matchmaking system and how I was all for and everything I

190
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:44,480
wasn't as informed as I am now am I right in saying that so let's say every

191
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:50,560
every nine out of ten games you play you win consistently and then for me every

192
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:56,320
two out of ten games I win so else our skills are there quite a big gap

193
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,680
between us am I right in saying that if I were to join you it's gonna throw me

194
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,920
in your lobbies with all the other people that are getting nine out of ten

195
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:11,680
wins and I'm just gonna get hammered on constantly is that a thing that correct

196
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,440
that is that well that is the assumption that's not fucking fun is it well no

197
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:22,000
it's not fun but my advice to you would be good enough I genuinely think you

198
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:27,640
would like this because it's slow pace and the skill is in the gun play and the

199
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,440
position in which you're good at from playing with apex with you and other

200
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:36,280
shooters you you're surprisingly good so I think surprisingly thank you well yeah

201
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,160
because I don't really play with good people normally I said to you the other

202
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,080
day when you jump on with some of you I'll play games a bit you know you're

203
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:49,120
wife you know me so I think maybe if you had any interest in ever playing it you

204
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,600
start sooner rather than later so the skill gap doesn't come in you're already

205
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,520
there you already hit the curve so you know you're already ready to go

206
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,440
regardless of when you play I do think it's it's much more up your street it's

207
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,240
much more up all our streets because we don't enjoy running around I don't like

208
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:11,780
the running around it got too silly it's why it's why people like myself come

209
00:17:11,780 --> 00:17:16,400
away from games like fortnight as well it just goes too far on the other end of

210
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,960
the scale and just become stupid and call of duty was guilty of that the

211
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,480
slide canceling stuff is such fucking it's such bullshit man I wouldn't mind

212
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,960
that if it was available for everyone and it was a case of getting better at

213
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:33,360
it but the cut the simple matter of fact is unless you're on a PC and a good PC

214
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:41,680
at that for the for the frame rate and FPS to be good enough to be able to

215
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,800
compete or you spend a silly amount of money on a controller for the paddle so

216
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,120
you can do these things with ease yeah that's that's not fair that's that's

217
00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:53,080
that's not skill gap that's a that's a pay gap that's a money gap well yeah as

218
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,720
well it's the same as overwatch 2 when you join me I'm on a PC and you're

219
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:01,360
you're being forced to join what is essentially a PC lobby you're always

220
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:05,720
gonna get absolutely murdered because aim assist is off yeah aim assist is off

221
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:12,200
and from from you see it yourself the movement that you can do on a PC is

222
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:17,280
compared to a PlayStation or an Xbox or any other console is fucking ridiculous

223
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,200
PC will always be on top when it comes to movement because especially if

224
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,440
you've got a mouse like mine which isn't a fucking crazy good mouse but a

225
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:31,320
razor mouse you can adjust the sensitivity on the fly while you're

226
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:36,520
playing so I can spin around ten times quicker than anyone else can and then if

227
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:42,320
I want to spin around slower one button and it's done and I can I can customize

228
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,960
that so yeah you jump like I was turning around on overwatch like I've just seen

229
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:52,520
a unidentified object flying just like shock of war you spun round and it was

230
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,560
like he's having a seizure it's just ridiculous we had a little test on it

231
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,040
and I can't it doesn't matter what sensitivity I put it up to I'm not getting

232
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,520
over near that there's no there's no way that and that and the the crazy thing is

233
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,720
that my highest sensitivity that I have set on my mouse isn't the highest

234
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:12,720
sensitivity that it can go to so when I put it on the highest and I was spinning

235
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:20,480
around like a fucking tornado it goes way way higher so yeah don't really know

236
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:27,080
where that whole point came from anyway warzone is very good the DMZ mode yeah also very

237
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:33,400
enjoyable lot of potential so they've been very smart with it blueprint for

238
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:39,440
the m13 so the m13 is not in the game I see this the m13 is not in the game but

239
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:44,680
it is in DMZ right so how Call of Duty works is you unlock the blueprint then

240
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,960
you unlock it for all the modes multiplayer DMZ warzone and then you can

241
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:55,240
obviously level the gun up to unlock the attachments etc etc now people weren't so

242
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,840
excited about DMZ but when they put a gun in there that you can only earn in

243
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,960
there everyone's all over you got very clever so you know I was gonna try it

244
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,360
anyway but kind of forced their hands so me and Clarky jumped in there the other

245
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:11,080
day so we'll try and get it very cool dropped in just some crappy weapons

246
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,520
whatever we found out where because there's a boss the boss was called the

247
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,520
chemist nice to try and kill the chemist so we drive all the way across the map

248
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:24,480
now I'm used to warzone one the cars handle like arcadey they don't do that

249
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,960
no more they're very slow to get started you can't just jump in the car and go vroom

250
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:33,000
you have to like it builds up speed made it a bit more realer yeah it's a lot

251
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,200
more realistic and we're getting halfway there going along a massive bridge and I

252
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:42,080
looked and I was like we're gonna run out of fuel we run out of fuel on a bridge

253
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,680
and had to book it the rest of the way mm-hmm we got there anyway massive

254
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:52,440
like gas storm where he is in so we had to go buy some gas masks we went in

255
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:58,480
there the bots are they they're somewhere in between like I don't know

256
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,940
they're just staring at walls no idea what's going on or they literally like

257
00:21:01,940 --> 00:21:05,840
Rambo and they just dive in shooting grenade rockets some like there's no in

258
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:10,880
between mmm anyway me and Clarky managed to get through it somehow first ever one

259
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,880
we did managed to kill him I picked up the M13 we booked it down the down the

260
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:21,000
street found an extraction zone set this flare off more AI dropped in we killed

261
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:27,440
them got onto the helicopter lovely got the M13 blueprint but thing is them for

262
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,680
in blueprint obviously you know how it works you whatever you take out of the

263
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,040
DMZ or talk of mode then you get to keep you can take him with you next time if

264
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,840
you lose it lose it but it doesn't give you the blueprint for everybody only

265
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,400
gives it to the person holding it no so you had to go in again so yeah so

266
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:50,440
obviously we had to go in again we've got it first you or I had it but but

267
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:57,880
what I read luckily online was that if you go back into the DMZ drop the M13

268
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,960
for your mate he picked up then extracts our way that's what we did but even then

269
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,360
risky because if we get shot you've lost it I've still got it because I've

270
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:08,960
unlocked the blueprint now you still go back in but then we'd have to do it

271
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,920
again because we've both lost it now so yeah I dropped it for him he's got it so

272
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,320
we've both got the M13 now but it's a very clever way to get people to apply

273
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:21,160
it people are shockingly positive about it when people were very negative

274
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:27,960
before so yeah just another thing to play another really fun mode so overall

275
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:34,720
massive thumbs up from me warzone DMZ it sounds like DMZ's like obviously

276
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:44,680
escape from Tarkov inspired but also the division inspired that's what people

277
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:49,440
compare it to most division black zone or dark zone with the extractions

278
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:55,400
because now the entire game like series that shit was so fun so fucking you took

279
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,360
me there once as a first gaming experience to give up nuts when it I

280
00:22:58,360 --> 00:23:03,640
was thinking about the other day how nervous we both were you was you was as

281
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:11,120
well no you were I could hear it in your voice you were nervous whereas now now

282
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:17,800
we don't play over each other at all we don't even talk about that well I've

283
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,200
gone from bringing you every day talking to you for a good like two hours a day

284
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:27,160
to nothing because otherwise we get Friday and we're just scratching but

285
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:33,920
yeah it's um it sounds very dark Sony and I like that I think that's that gives

286
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:40,400
you something something worth fighting for there's a few things that I'm not a

287
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:49,160
fan of so why it works is you got insurance slots so you can you can build

288
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,000
any weapon you want from guns that you've got and things you've unlocked in

289
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,800
all across all the multiplayer yeah so I built my m4 so love the m4 was using

290
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:04,000
and can ensure it cool you go in you lose it whatever it gives you like a

291
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,080
20-hour cooldown or whatever on the weapon so then you have to take contraband

292
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,680
weapons in which are weapons that you find in DMZ and bring out can't change

293
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:16,120
any attachments they're just they are what they are that's fine I don't mind

294
00:24:16,120 --> 00:24:20,400
that system but then you can add all the grenades smoke grenades stun grenades

295
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,520
yeah frag grenades all sorts stuff like that you can just pick them like you

296
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,120
would normally these things should be found and brought out so you got I'm

297
00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:31,200
gonna take a smoke grenade in this time I've got three of them yeah you shouldn't

298
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,000
just be able to take them as you know yeah but that's about other than that I

299
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,880
just don't feel there's a massive risk to dying where I think that is the

300
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,180
shining light of that sort of genre which I haven't really nailed they did

301
00:24:43,180 --> 00:24:48,560
stick a fat old beta sticker on it oh did they so they've they've got a cover

302
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,320
in covering their arses and this isn't the final product exactly so with that

303
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,560
that beta sticker on it now but that's that's quite clever though because we

304
00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:01,640
have you've got you've got a good the community is is enjoying it so far

305
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:07,160
they're gonna give feedback on it so rather than bringing it out and how it

306
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,360
is now that's it and then saying a couple months time they decide to change

307
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:15,640
a load of shit it's it's clever it's clever it sounds to me like they're

308
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,800
actually giving a fuck about what the community thinks and I like that and

309
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,760
that work that works good for the developers it works good for the people

310
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,600
who actually play in the game it's good for everyone if they actually take note

311
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:32,800
and listen to what people are saying and sort of just come away a bit from little

312
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:38,560
streamers whinging about it the most exciting aspect for me is that

313
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,200
obviously they're trying to implement like storylines into warzone each

314
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,160
season this is happening and you're you're going into be the last one

315
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,260
standing because of this reason none of it really makes any sense it's cool is

316
00:25:50,260 --> 00:25:53,120
a cool cinematic something to throw in there but it doesn't really make any

317
00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:57,160
sense with this mode they really could put some story you know killing this

318
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,520
chemist I don't know who the fuck he is it was cool to go and kill a boss so

319
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,640
when like in two three years time whenever what is happening I remember

320
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,280
when we had to go and kill that chemist dude they have a health bar or anything

321
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:14,860
or is it just like zombies but it was cool you know it's a cool mechanic he's

322
00:26:14,860 --> 00:26:19,280
in a little gas zone on his own yeah loads of people and me and Clarkie were

323
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:26,160
like nervous trying to get out like stressing I had zero bullets I had zero

324
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,740
armor plates I'm laying down like Clarkie you've got to shoot these the

325
00:26:29,740 --> 00:26:33,320
helicopters coming down for us to leave I'm like you've got to shoot them I have

326
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,880
no bullets and no armor if I get shot I'm dead that's as simple as that so he

327
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,720
managed to like fight him off and then we got and that was that was the fun

328
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,360
that was the excitement exhilarating it was and it was nerve-racking because we

329
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:48,120
had the M13 to lose my point being if you haven't got that to lose takes it

330
00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:52,320
away a little bit you know whatever yeah yeah cuz you all that's gonna happen is

331
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:59,280
I can't use my gun for 20 hours yeah so so go back to that so you die so you're

332
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:06,400
let's say you're carrying the M13 you're in the DMZ you die that M13 is now

333
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:11,800
locked out for 20 hours across the entire game no no no only in DMZ only in

334
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:16,080
DMZ so how it works is I always have an M4 because it's my favorite gun in Call of Duty

335
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:21,000
so I have the M4 I build it the way I want it it's insured if I want to take

336
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,440
that in I'll take that in if I die or lose it out there then it's locked out

337
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,640
for 20 hours and I can take any of the old crappy contraband weapons I've found

338
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:33,840
but that is pretty much all you lose you'll lose like because you can only put

339
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,800
one armor plate in now we used to put three you can find armor plate bags so

340
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:43,140
you can put two plates in or three plates if you have one of them then you

341
00:27:43,140 --> 00:27:46,440
can take that in with you if you lose it you go back down to one plate so the

342
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,280
contraband gas masks you can take out and put them in you do lose little

343
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:55,180
things but I think like say they need a stash they have no stash those Tarkov

344
00:27:55,180 --> 00:27:58,920
has got a massive stash and a place they got a flea market where you can sell

345
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,960
items to other players all that sort of stuff like an auction house and well

346
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:08,920
they start adding them in later the game is gonna skyrocket potential that's why

347
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:13,680
I think like you said the beta sticker very smart info and get people in yeah

348
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:19,000
it's alright add pepper it yeah it could blow up and then here comes the fucking

349
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,160
microtransactions of buying things to get your gun out of the 20-hour

350
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:29,200
cool down or there'll be events where cooldowns only five hours rather than

351
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:36,560
20 which that in itself wouldn't be so bad because you say say it so they bring

352
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:41,600
something else out in the DMZ that's fucking difficult to get hold of like a

353
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:46,920
way more difficult boss than the chemist and they say for limited time only while

354
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:52,280
this events on cooldown is slashed to two hours rather than 20 to try and get

355
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:57,680
more people to throw themselves in the potential for that is is very cool and

356
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:02,000
they've got is a decent studio and a decent game to be running off of off of

357
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,400
that it's a shame they've built it like this in that I think what they should

358
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:14,800
have done is they give you a first ever game you go in with a fucking AK nothing

359
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:19,840
else just a shitty little AK and you should be scrounging for everything red

360
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,960
dot sights a cog sights yeah sniper scopes everything and then you build

361
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,720
your weapon out that way so then the weapon that you're putting all these

362
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,400
attachments on you're gonna put this I'm gonna put this grip on this I'm gonna

363
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,080
put this stock on this I'm gonna put this scope on this one you've spent the

364
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,280
time to get a weapon you spent the time to get the bits and bobs to put on it

365
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,560
and then when you're on it you're not just if you go in without weapon you're

366
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,320
not just losing your weapon you're losing all the attachments you put on it

367
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,720
to just be able to build any weapon that you like with all the attachments takes

368
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:51,320
away the whole point I think you I think you run into the risk of that of how

369
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,960
many times are you gonna go in and die before you go fuck this I'm not playing

370
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,360
anymore because you keep going in dying losing all your shit because you aren't

371
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:03,040
ensuring it or there will be people that will go fuck that I'll just jump on war

372
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:08,320
zone instead that is the game yeah but people don't like that though do they

373
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:14,720
just because they're liking it now yeah exactly the same mm-hmm yeah but it's if

374
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:20,240
you take everything away from them so essentially a permadeath type thing it

375
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:26,440
it I think you I like I like that idea I prefer that idea to just having a gun

376
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,040
locked out for 20 hours if it's everything's locked out for 20 hours

377
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:34,800
that you had on you I like that but I don't think everyone will enjoy that I

378
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,880
don't want it locked out I want it gone oh so you just gotta get it again yeah

379
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:44,760
you lose that you I've got an AK I've gone in I've managed to find an M4 mm-hmm

380
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:49,520
I've picked up a red dot sight and a silencer I come out okay brilliant I'm

381
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:54,200
gonna put that red dot on my AK I'm gonna put the silence on my M4 go in the M4 I

382
00:30:54,200 --> 00:31:00,280
lose the M4 I've lost the silencer and the M4 mm-hmm so I haven't got an M4 now

383
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:05,760
but I've got the AK with a red dot I suppose you can stack up you're finding red dots so I've got loads of red dots in the stash

384
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:11,520
yeah I suppose that that sort of gives you that replayability because you if if

385
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:18,120
if every now and then you're dying it's not like you play a load of DMZ get

386
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,960
everything that you could possibly want so there's no point in you playing it

387
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:25,760
again whereas if you're losing shit then yeah that gives you that replayability

388
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,720
because you might go in with a with a weapon fully decked out lose it and then

389
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,720
you're like fuck so I've lost all my shit be angry for an hour and then go

390
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:38,900
back into it and regroup and try and get all your shit again or yeah no I like it

391
00:31:38,900 --> 00:31:42,680
I like it what you do is you put in really rare loot you put in dangerous areas

392
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:48,760
yeah there's a there's a completely covered gas area the only way you can

393
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,480
go in there is safely is with a hazmat suit find the bits of a hazmat suit

394
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:58,360
legs I've got the torso I found the hat sick I'm gonna extract get my stuff

395
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,960
ready and I'm gonna go I'm gonna go in I've got my good gun I've got my hazmat

396
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,560
suit on I've gone in of course I found some sick loot rare loot I come out I

397
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:10,440
extract again I sell it on the market for stupid money hmm I'm flossing I buy

398
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,520
what I want from the market but that game cycle that game mechanic is basically

399
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:19,240
what Tarkov does yeah I don't think it's a polish this call duty but it's the same concept

400
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:24,320
of it yeah I think if they did that that that sort of game mode on massive you're

401
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:30,560
talking about building an economy which is that type of shit because dark zone

402
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,800
was close to doing that other than being able to sell your stuff on the black

403
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:40,880
market obviously you could sell it but it wasn't that that cut and dry but yeah

404
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,120
that that that as an idea sounds fucking awesome because you could become like a

405
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:51,000
full-on pirate type fucking fee yeah man that does sound fucking cool mate you

406
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,600
never know maybe they'll they'll think about trying to throw something like

407
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,080
that's what I thought they were going with and with it being a beta I think the

408
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,200
potential is there yeah but the way they've structured at the moment I don't

409
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,240
know if they'll revert from that is my theory I don't know whether they'll take

410
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,520
stuff I think when you try and throw economies like that into games is very

411
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:12,400
very difficult because it's such a fine balance World of Warcraft does it very

412
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:17,120
well obviously with auction houses it has its own economy every server gold is

413
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:23,260
worth a different amount and things are worth different and like a real economy

414
00:33:23,260 --> 00:33:28,280
that shit can crash and that shit can boom and the server itself might not

415
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,720
have enough gold or it's got too much gold and things like that so it can

416
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,200
become a bit tricky but that's sort of where you end up leaving it to your

417
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:41,920
player base to handle but I I like the idea that I think what you would then

418
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:49,680
need is like DMZ specific stuff that you can only get through obviously the the

419
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,720
black market and things like that and then you have warzone specific stuff you

420
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,480
know what I mean so it's not all just you go and DMZ to get a load of shit and you

421
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:04,000
can use all of it in warzone and it doesn't work like that no so you have

422
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,760
all the guns right got all the guns whatever you can use but you can't use

423
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:13,960
m13 until you've unlocked it in DMZ just because you've got an m13 it doesn't

424
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,640
mean you've got one with a red dot so you can use that in warzone now that's

425
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:22,200
not what we're going for it is solely the blueprint so you can build it how

426
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,920
you want in warzone or multiplayer it doesn't matter do you know I'm saying

427
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:32,440
that's the same thing no no because you know what it was annoying is as well in

428
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:37,520
the single player campaign no in the single player campaign there's a bit in

429
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,640
one of the missions where you've got nothing and you're like scavenging

430
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,800
around so you're like this is what DMZ is gonna be like yeah showing you and

431
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,240
you open in like boxes and stuff and you're finding a red dot sight and

432
00:34:47,240 --> 00:34:51,200
you're putting it on your gun and stuff why is that mechanic in there but not in

433
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:55,080
DMZ why are you finding red dot sights and putting them on your weapons they

434
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,640
must have had that in DMZ at some point maybe or maybe there's something that

435
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:03,320
they're gonna maybe maybe it might be a case of they've got the functionality

436
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:11,880
for it to be there however DMZ still being in quotes beta they're testing

437
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:16,160
that out before they start committing to throwing stuff like that in that that

438
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:20,040
that because you don't want to go for the effort of putting that in and making

439
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,520
it so that every person can do that because I'm sure it's quite a lot of

440
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,160
work and then no one fucking like DMZ because then you just wasted your time on

441
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:31,920
it but if you've got the if you've got the blueprint of that there haha then if

442
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:38,280
DMZ takes off like it sounds like it will then you can throw that in there a

443
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:43,280
lot easier if that makes sense yeah I hope you hope that they really press on

444
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,040
with it and they don't just leave it like that but one of the coolest features

445
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,480
of it is you don't know how many players are in the game mm-hmm there's other

446
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,080
players in there as well you can only go in and trios but me and Clark it's a no

447
00:35:54,080 --> 00:36:00,360
squad film when in as a duo yeah but yeah you can only go in in trios and we

448
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:05,080
like going along and we're like is that AI or is that a player? Because you can't really tell

449
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,680
mm-hmm I mean oh yeah of course there's no name plates or anything is there?

450
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:13,080
Right and then Clark's I'm sure even in in warzone because they removed the AI from

451
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,960
warzone like they had in the beta and now they just hang around strongholds

452
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,120
mm-hmm because we don't really know where the strongholds are we get confused

453
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,840
I've been shot I've been shot and you're like ducking down you're like that's just a

454
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:28,520
bot bro but you don't know it's a bit more excitement you know especially in

455
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,920
DMZ where you know nothing you don't know if it's a player or a bot yeah it's

456
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,640
exciting when you see someone cuz you're like it's good it's good fun anyway we've

457
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,920
spent far too much time on that but massive thumbs up and I really think

458
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,560
you should download it and give it a go. Is that done? This is basically this is

459
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:51,840
basically my part it is anyway next one vampire survivors I don't know what to say

460
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,720
about this game I don't know what this is I saw a picture of it and it looked

461
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:59,960
wanky. Every now and again there's a little Twitter game where everybody

462
00:36:59,960 --> 00:37:05,840
that I follow like reputable people yeah start going on about this new game and

463
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:10,440
at the moment is vampire survivors we've had others on there like fall guys and

464
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,640
stuff like that that really took off on there mm-hmm among us yeah among us all

465
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:20,200
them sort of one vampire survivors is the latest and it recently came out so I'm

466
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,880
getting out breath that's how ill I am hold on

467
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:31,040
it's cuz you've been talking for the last 37 minutes yeah so vampire survivors

468
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:35,320
came out on game pass I'm just googling it now so I figured I'll give it a go I'll turn

469
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:40,400
the old Xbox on that's definitely not a waste of money had about 400 updates to

470
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:44,600
do look you knew why you bought that and that that game hasn't come out yet no it

471
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,240
wasn't supposed to that was in quite a few of the categories for game of the

472
00:37:47,240 --> 00:37:51,400
year shit by the way which was vampire spores no not vampire survivors

473
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:56,680
starfield how it's not even out how can be gaming here it was on like two or

474
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,160
three different you made most anticipated game that will be was

475
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,880
definitely on that one yeah it will be them ones not because no one knows

476
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:09,640
nothing about it anyway yeah it came out and game boss I'll give it a quick

477
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:14,280
download I think it was about three megabytes large I mean this game could

478
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:19,200
have come out on the NES yeah you know I mean it could have come out on one of

479
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,320
the oldest systems known to man yeah I mean it's about as graphically advanced

480
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:28,280
as pong yeah it literally is this is something that could be run on a fucking

481
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:35,200
toaster it literally is like got about eight pixels in it yeah but anyway

482
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:41,360
that's that's a disservice it's fucking amazing it really is what do you do you

483
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:46,960
just move right right okay you don't even need to I'm looking I'm pressing

484
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:52,120
all the buttons what button does nothing just move so you start off you pick a

485
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:58,760
character you go into a the first level is a jungle forest you start off and

486
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,240
you character we've got whatever weapon the character starts with just starts

487
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:05,840
using it so I like character with a whip hmm so as soon as you start it's just a

488
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:12,960
character and he's just going every like I'm watching I'm watching a video I see

489
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,880
what you mean he's using the whip yeah every like one and a half second he's

490
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,840
just gonna just whip in yeah like spiders or those they're bats so every time yeah

491
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,640
that's first level so every time you kill an enemy or nine times out of ten

492
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,720
they'll drop a little a little thing that looks like a rupee from the legend

493
00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:32,840
of Zelda right you pick that up gives you a little bit of level you level up

494
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:37,840
he's level up yeah you level up just level yeah you pick of a tree of items

495
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,280
yeah and they all do different things they'll have an augment the ability you

496
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,320
already have will give you a new one yeah you can carry eight of them at a

497
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:50,720
time I believe and you just rinse and repeat and you can and it it sounds it

498
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:56,180
sounds fun it looks fun I know it is fucking I can see exactly why people are

499
00:39:56,180 --> 00:40:00,280
enjoying this because it's just a fucking just chill out and just just go

500
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:04,960
for it man it is so addictive it looks it you're

501
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:12,880
leveling up but what I'm saying is it seems so simple but it's so deep it is so deep I think one man

502
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:17,840
made this one man I believe and he just did it as like a little pet project it's

503
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:22,720
massive now no it's full-time job so yeah you just you're just picking up

504
00:40:22,720 --> 00:40:26,040
you're leveling up you're picking different augments and but then what

505
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,640
happens is what I didn't realize for a long time was that once you've leveled

506
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:34,600
these up to however many in a run other items that you've that you can pick up

507
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:40,640
will evolve the item so say you can pick up a heart that gives you more health if

508
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:45,400
then on your next level up ability the garlic item is there it will say

509
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:50,040
evolution with the heart yeah so when you've leveled that up that if you pick

510
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:54,040
that item up then it will give you like a mega ability right and that and that

511
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,720
goes for pretty much every item in the game but then past that which I've just

512
00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:02,560
discovered now is you can now like get like evolved versions of each weapon and

513
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,560
then merge like the mega versions it's just I don't know where it ends and then

514
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:10,440
it each run can last up to 30 minutes and then death turns up and just

515
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:14,160
insta kills you but I found a way where I think you can kill death now death

516
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:19,880
himself room the levels are like mental is that you get to the end and you think

517
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,560
this is the last mission you do last mission there's like oh no this one is

518
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,560
a lot now there's there's permanent unlocks when you pick up the gold you

519
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:30,240
can go and level up your ability so each you start with more speed more health

520
00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:35,440
then there's a thing that you can buy called a golden egg from a merchant

521
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,440
which apparently increases stats on a certain character there's loads of

522
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:45,600
characters to unlock it is so deep and so addictive and I am fucking obsessed

523
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:50,760
with it gems looking at it she's telling me how are you doing this because

524
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:55,880
there's monsters everywhere the screen is filled and I'm like ducking and

525
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,120
weaving and I've got whips going off all over the place I've got bombs going off

526
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:03,120
birds flying around dropping shit oh shit yeah like that no you can't see

527
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:08,600
that yeah no it gets much 100 times 1000 times worse than that that's small time

528
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:14,440
yeah it is insane the game is phenomenal one of the first comments having crushed

529
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:18,680
through every achievement in this game it has been a complete blast to play the

530
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:25,240
most fun I've had for a in ages on Steam is currently at 10,000 reviews at 99%

531
00:42:25,240 --> 00:42:30,120
positive you know you're in for a treat that was nine months ago yes it'll be

532
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:35,440
even more there's me being all gassed there is free how much is it it's 499

533
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,800
and and there's me leaving out a section on that comment saying that it was three

534
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:46,600
dollars because it I thought it was free so 10 out of 10 on steam 127,000 and a half

535
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:53,840
reviews it's just obviously it came out it came out 17 for December 2021 on on

536
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:58,560
steam and it's just come out on console games like that they get that they have

537
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:04,180
a way of being real decent other because they aren't asking you aren't asking a

538
00:43:04,180 --> 00:43:09,200
lot of the game the game isn't asking a lot of you and I think the it's games

539
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:13,680
like that can be so simple but like you said so deep at the same time the

540
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:18,840
gameplay itself looks like a piece of piss it looks enjoyable but it doesn't

541
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:23,960
you're not fucking it's not damaging your brain to figure out how to play it and

542
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:29,840
and those types of games sometimes well evidently people just want to chill out

543
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:35,680
and play an easy an easier game that's still fun as hell and that looks like

544
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:42,560
one of those games obviously okay and it's just a different ability this is

545
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,360
very reminiscent of cult of the lamb and we were saying all the fucking

546
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:53,920
followers and everything shout out punk who is the developer of vampire

549
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:08,400
following now and it's all right I'm just swallowing breath and burps and all

550
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:14,720
sorts yeah it's swallowed up my life yeah be honest and it's exactly what I

551
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:18,200
needed after you know what we're gonna get to so we better speed up to do this

552
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:23,520
well so shout out vampire survivors huge congratulations to pongal great game

553
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:28,280
love it absolutely fantastic I can't wait to play tonight moving on we have

554
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,800
Pokemon this is your section because I didn't know what I was only a quick

555
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,920
little section there's nothing crazy I'm not really a massive fan of Pokemon

556
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,600
love it only come about because I was I was seriously considering getting a

557
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,600
switch and getting the new Pokemon you say that I took my switch on the other

558
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,480
day and I've done loads of downloads because I was gonna vibe with mine as

559
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:51,360
well mm-hmm and I decided not to because it was either that or the steam deck and

560
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:56,880
I thought you know what I want to direct money if I'm I want to save my money at

561
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:03,120
the same time if I'm gonna have a have an expense for my own benefit I want to

562
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:07,520
throw that money into the podcast so I held off and I think I made the smart

563
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:12,920
decision to do so I've been seeing a lot of videos on the new Pokemon it's

564
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:23,680
Pokemon scarlet and violet it looks so shit I like Pokemon games but it's a lot

565
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:30,200
of apparently the launch was really rough it looks laggy as fuck now there

566
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,560
has been an update and a lot of people are saying that once you do the update

567
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:38,360
it fixes a lot of the issues but by the by the looks of it I think everyone was

568
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:42,920
hoping for them to really ramp up the graphics and make it look decent and it

569
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:49,880
just looks rough man it's I mean it's been labeled as the open world Pokemon

570
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:56,200
game that everyone wanted but didn't receive in that and and and I think that

571
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:00,480
that statement is true in that everyone would love an open world Pokemon game I

572
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:05,640
certainly would but they just can't seem to nail it man they just can't seem to

573
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:11,640
do it this fucking dead world nothing in it laggy as shit frames all over the

574
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:16,160
place it keeps crashing it just looks a bit of a mess and that was my section

575
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:21,920
done let's hope it improves I love Pokemon one thing I know about Pokemon and

576
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,560
Nintendo is they always land on their feet and I don't worry about there

577
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:28,320
they'll sort it out of course they will and the player base will remain there's

578
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:32,640
no one that's gonna be turned off a Pokemon just a lot of people complaining

579
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:36,480
like how it was meant to be so much better than its predecessor which was

580
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:44,720
arceus arceus oh yeah however you fucking say it yeah that one you can go

581
00:46:44,720 --> 00:46:48,240
back and play that game though people keep saying oh my god it is so much

582
00:46:48,240 --> 00:46:52,960
work and you can always go back yeah you can that's that section done shut up

583
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:59,120
next section is yours as well fillers fillers oh another filler my my entire

584
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:03,800
week has been taken up with God of War my entire week from when we filmed the

585
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,840
last episode we're not talking about God of War by now no yes but this but this

586
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:12,920
but this scared yeah but this this rolls into it so as many of you may be aware

587
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:18,760
on the 16th of November World of Warcraft went in went into phase two of

588
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:23,000
their pre-patch for Dragonflight which meant that the new class and the new

589
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:28,840
race the dracthea evoker was released for people that have already pre-ordered

590
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:35,080
Dragonflight I am obviously one of those people and the excitement for it was

591
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:40,440
there but God of War took me in a way that I never thought a game would and

592
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:47,680
for once in my life I wasn't excited to I wasn't so excited to play new content

593
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:52,400
on World of Warcraft because I was busy investing all of my time into something

594
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,400
else I just couldn't focus I couldn't do it I played for about an hour I still

595
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,980
haven't done it there's a new Star Zone and everything and I've done like four

596
00:47:59,980 --> 00:48:04,120
quests in it because I jumped on and I went what am I doing I said I turned

597
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:10,400
around to the TV as I got I gotta go back on this I've got to do it so there

598
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:14,520
will be more way more on World of Warcraft next week it's coming because

599
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:21,400
yeah we're I think now is the time where we can move on to God of War Ragnarok

600
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:28,480
because it's not why Marvel snap don't even start with that what's what shut

601
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:33,760
up what's this game that I've got hold on hold your horses I'm holding my horse

602
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:38,200
because Marvel snap is the cut is a Marvel card game you know I am I am

603
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:45,720
correct now where is because I sunk in a lot of time and a lot of money into

604
00:48:45,720 --> 00:48:59,400
this card game is it hearthstone I'll delete it anyway moving on Swift throw

605
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:03,960
down never heard of it you never heard of it no you never heard a throw down

606
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:11,280
no is massive is it Marvel Oh family guy family guy fucking future armor

607
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:18,960
Bob's burgers all of them and it's a card game man oh no all I know is Marvel

608
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,960
snap is another thing much like vampire survives I'm just minding my own

609
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:27,000
business on Twitter and all I'm seeing is vampire survivors gonna get a game of

610
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,360
the year category it's that good blah blah and now I'm all I'm seeing is

611
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:35,840
Marvel snap is the best mobile game time of the year and I'm like I'll check it

612
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:41,960
out man I don't like mobile games well I do now I'm telling you yeah I have told

613
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:50,360
one two three I've told three people yeah try it right I'm one of them as well

614
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:56,280
and well no you're fourth and all three people that I have told are fucking

615
00:49:56,280 --> 00:50:01,240
obsessed with it so much so they're higher levels than me mmm in less time

616
00:50:01,240 --> 00:50:06,600
pretty much something more yeah and I'm playing war zone with Clarkie and Royce

617
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:11,360
and while the games loaded we'll play Marvel snap yeah they brought me back

618
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:16,040
yesterday from the gulag I was dead they brought me back I'm parachuting I'm in

619
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,920
the middle of a Marvel snap game so I just had to hang in the parachute they

620
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:23,080
all I can hear one oh one on me one on me they're all down shooting dead where's

621
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:27,480
ash I'm still floating in the parachute because I'm playing Marvel snap is it

622
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:32,040
is it something similar to Hearthstone it's got that mechanic of you can only

623
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,320
play what your power level and the gems go up each time yeah but that but it's

624
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:42,000
different there's three different zones on the board each one can be many

625
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,400
different things I've played it you've played models now yeah why are you

626
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,600
asking them because it's your show and everyone it's not just me that's fucking

627
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:54,240
listening I played about ten minutes of it well that's not enough to go very

628
00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:59,600
bored very quick how have you judged engaged off of that no because I think

629
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:04,720
I'm fair and saying this what was that what was that you might a game like it

630
00:51:04,720 --> 00:51:09,680
it was very very very similar to throwdown and I sunk in so many hours of

631
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:14,720
throwdown and quite a lot of money that I just wasn't interested in Marvel snap

632
00:51:14,720 --> 00:51:19,480
because I don't play throwdown anymore I I've had my fix of mobile card games

633
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,880
like that I was like no I can't be bothered because it's very very very

634
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:26,440
similar well one of the massive pros to Marvel snap is it's not pay to win you

635
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,920
can't buy anything really yeah no neither was throwdown it was just I'm

636
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:35,240
greedy cool well whatever all I know is there's a welcome pack where you get

637
00:51:35,240 --> 00:51:40,080
like 700 gold and Captain America oh so right yeah I just wanted Captain

638
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:44,280
America you pay for that yeah and then what does Captain America do no it's

639
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,560
just a card you get it's just a different with a different ability and

640
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:53,080
nothing different card face is literally all it is you can't upgrade cards in

641
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,560
any way that makes them more powerful yeah believe me or not I don't know

642
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:02,200
throwdown to be fair you can't on this and I bought a battle pass first ever

643
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:09,040
battle pass it's not paid to win yeah how much money you spent on this is

644
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:15,160
giving me any competitive advantage at all it's impossible there's nothing you

645
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:23,600
are so easy to get your wallet to open up for a game incorrect not incorrect

646
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:27,600
at all when's the last time you played fortnight is Star Wars skins when's the

647
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:31,280
last time you played fortnight and when's the last time you bought a skin

648
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:35,040
for it couple weeks ago because I went up blue

649
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,520
player I want to jump on and play Star Wars characters that's neither in or

650
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:42,280
there I like what I like you put Star Wars skins in anything I'm gonna buy

651
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,520
and you're all over it doesn't matter doesn't matter you send me some right

652
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:49,960
old shit which is a Star Wars stuff because you know I sent you a Star Wars

653
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:54,120
advent calendar that was 40 quid yeah and it would have been cool if they were

654
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,160
cool characters but got Darth Vader dressed up like some elf you don't do

655
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:03,520
Darth dirty like that well there's no mug so you like you like you like Marvel

656
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:09,360
snap I don't like it I fucking love it that's really great one so you know it's

657
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:13,120
never in or there with you like it if you don't you don't all I'm saying is if

658
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,840
you like if you don't like mobile games check it out because it's changed my

659
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:23,360
opinion on mobile games forever nice anyway all I know is I think that you

660
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:28,760
should try to play Marvel snap but more importantly I think you should try and

661
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:33,200
play warzone but

662
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:44,320
what is this what is this those put that right to the mic so it's a bit louder

663
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:53,200
this is your warning God of War spoilers are coming now yeah that's what this is

664
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:57,720
thank you for listening to this episode if you're leaving well we love and

665
00:53:57,720 --> 00:54:05,520
appreciate you see you next week we're about to talk about God of War me and

666
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:10,880
ash have both completed it and we said last week that we will do this segment

667
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:16,600
you can turn it off now I think people get the siren yeah we're gonna talk

668
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:20,080
about God of War there will be spoilers we will talk about quite a lot of it

669
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:25,280
about every spot so yeah if you want don't want to know a thing you just get

670
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:30,440
out this is your warning right now yeah turn the podcast off if you don't want

671
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:35,080
to hear spoilers about God of War we cannot be much more clearer than that

672
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:44,280
now anyway about Kratos dying that's not what happens we'll try and get some sort

673
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,680
of we'll try and get some sort of organization to it so let's work our way

674
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:52,280
through it what you can remember what you like can I just quickly say quite

675
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,960
possibly one of the best games I think I've ever played well I got a message

676
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:59,600
yesterday late last night saying best game ever full stop and that was it yeah

677
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:05,400
and you never put full stops so I know you were serious it was incredible now

678
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:15,400
you did it in 22 hours I did it in 53 no 53 35 and a half hours now this would be

679
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:19,920
quite interesting because we both played it completely differently whereby you

680
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:24,360
did none of the side missions if you didn't have to I did one and I did all

681
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:28,080
of them I did one side mission after the story ended because there was another

682
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:33,040
ending if you go and do it yeah and I and I did all of them so I've got I've

683
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:38,240
got five side missions left four of them you can't track but I know where they

684
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:44,960
are I got one more Raven to get of Odin's Ravens I got one more Draugr

685
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:51,760
Draugr Draugr hole to close up what I'm smelling the platinum it's coming I

686
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:56,560
looked at the trophies just to make sure and I'd say I've got about I've got I

687
00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:02,360
think half the trophies and let's say there's like ten more trophies I need to

688
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:07,640
get six of them I think five or six of them are the side missions that I've got

689
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:11,240
left I don't know although this is a spoiler section please don't spoil the

690
00:56:11,240 --> 00:56:14,280
side missions for me because I haven't done them yet so difficult not to spoil

691
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:20,320
the side can I just say I can appreciate that you've spent your hard-earned money

692
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:24,320
and you will play you are more than entitled to play your games however you

693
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:30,400
see fit and I fully understand that you beeline the story for the spoilers

694
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:34,000
because I won't lie it's taken me a lot longer to complete this game than I

695
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:38,040
thought it would and trying to avoid the spoilers and I almost had certain points

696
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:44,480
spoiled for me multiple times in fact one of them was sort of spoiled for me

697
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:50,120
so I can understand why you did why you played it the way that you did but

698
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:56,080
having been someone who did every single side mission the minute I got it like

699
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,800
when I go into a new zone you'd get like five or six different side missions I'll

700
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:06,280
do them all before I carried on with the main story mental absolutely mental and

701
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:12,000
law law fuck it the law inside of these side missions is just incredible shit

702
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:18,280
that ah I listen to a podcast today and they was talking about God of War and

703
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:22,280
they said the same they said a lot of side missions give you so much

704
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:25,280
information you're not you you know if you go back and do him because a lot

705
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:30,280
of people play it same as me yeah and normally in any other situation I

706
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,160
wouldn't play like this I'll do what you do if I feel like doing so I just go do

707
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:36,960
the side missions I'm a completionist in that respect I don't like leaving areas

708
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:42,400
unfinished so I'll try and do it but in this one I like sales petrified and I

709
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:46,880
didn't want it ruined if I didn't have a family I would have just booked like

710
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,640
the notion of the week off and I'd have just blow for it the way I would

711
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:53,040
normally play doing everything but unfortunately this is the position I'm

712
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:59,960
in I just think it's that they're so in-depth and you talk about a lot with

713
00:57:59,960 --> 00:58:04,920
Witcher and that how the side missions feel so much like the main story you

714
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:09,080
can't even tell the difference and it was very much like this very very much I

715
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:11,360
don't think there was a single side mission where I thought what's the

716
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:16,840
fucking point in me doing this they all had a relevance to something and yeah

717
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:21,280
I'd say the majority of them probably like 70 80 percent of the myths side

718
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:28,520
missions you do give you a piece of law that you've never heard of before and

719
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:33,760
when you do complete the game or as you begin as you start coming towards the

720
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:38,640
end of the game those bits of law that you've learned along the way start to

721
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:42,360
fall in to their little their little sections and you think fucking hell

722
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:45,240
that's why that's like that and that's why I'm blah blah blah

723
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:49,040
weren't really paying attention to the shit that you get I've got some cool art

724
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:54,680
like the armor that I'm using is armor that you only get from side missions and

725
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:59,720
some of the abilities you get for like oh pardon me for like the blades of

726
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:04,360
chaos and shit you only get from side missions so I don't really know it'll be

727
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:07,600
quite interesting to see like our games next to each other to see what you've

728
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,720
got and what I've got because I'd imagine it'll be quite different I just

729
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:17,120
got normal bog standard shit I've got I think yeah I think I've got pretty much

730
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:23,880
everything the only things where I just I thought no fuck this I'm not touching

731
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:28,640
them until the end of the game is the berserkers don't know if you've run into

732
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:34,960
one yet I think so basically the Valkyrie replacements this game's Valkyries the

733
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:39,320
big fucking night dude yeah green things yeah I killed one of them and then it

734
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,960
popped up with the side mission because obviously it starts a mission one out of

735
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:48,080
twelve yeah I went twelve and the little fucking worm dude yeah yeah I went there's fucking

736
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:52,440
twelve of these what the fuck it'll be interesting to see how they've designed

737
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:56,200
these quests because I imagine there's back and forth between Kratos and Atreus

738
00:59:56,200 --> 01:00:01,320
there's back I think yeah there's back and forth so what's gonna happen when I

739
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:08,560
go there with Freya and interesting with obviously no Brock because obviously

740
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:13,000
Brock's dead the ending that you're talking about is it Brock's funeral yeah

741
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:17,320
yeah yeah very sad very very sad gut wrenching to me I didn't like Brock

742
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:23,000
until he died and I was like oh no I really liked him and Sindri did very nearly make me cry because

743
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:27,400
of seeing the the anger in his eyes and the fact that they made it made his

744
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:31,360
eyes red I was like that I didn't even notice I was like that gaze is broken I was like

745
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:37,440
he is fucked and when when Kratos as like obviously Brock goes off in the boat

746
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:43,960
cool to have a Viking funeral as well very cool when he goes to grab Sindri

747
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:48,080
and he's like Brock was and then he just shrugs him off and just looks at me like

748
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:53,640
and then just disappears I was like fuck the way he disappeared I think it's the

749
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:57,760
it's the fact that I don't know you might have not paid attention to the

750
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:03,160
dialogue because to be fair I didn't it was Steph that that told me obviously

751
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:10,520
where Brock died first and Sindri brought him back and he doesn't have an

752
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:15,240
afterlife where he's died again obviously he doesn't ever laugh like and that shit

753
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:19,680
killed me man because I was like Sindri couldn't handle Brock dying the

754
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:27,960
first time so much so that he went and got his soul back and now him doing that

755
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:31,960
has meant that now he's died again he does not have an afterlife and Sindri

756
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:35,000
is gonna have to live with that for the rest of his life in that he's ruined

757
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:39,720
like Brock just he's gone forever there's no there's no meeting him again

758
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:44,600
because there's no afterlife and I thought that was so sad it really was

759
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:49,440
speaking of Brock's death what was your reaction to oh I'm not here by the way

760
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:53,720
I'm Odin fucking me well where's here then normally see these twists coming

761
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:57,320
that didn't say that at all so here must be dead then he must have actually been

762
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:03,200
killed is gone as well yeah I found that crazy because this whole time I didn't

763
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:06,640
like to hear no I didn't I was like this guy's kept saying to self I was like this

764
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:10,120
geezer is the god of war it's just annoying I was like he is he is the

765
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:16,440
pinnacle of of war well he's Kratos in the Norse world basically and and he's

766
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:20,260
doing fuck all he's making soup and running away from enemies I was like this

767
01:02:20,260 --> 01:02:23,680
guy is wet I've had enough of him and then yeah when he turned to Odin I was

768
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:27,480
like what the fuck I love Odin's character by the way yeah I didn't make

769
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:31,680
the start towards the end I was like yeah now I really liked him I really

770
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:37,400
really really enjoyed the balance between like not comedy but the the sort of

771
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:43,800
non-serious lines thrown in with the serious situations and Odin did that so

772
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:48,160
well it's just calm demeanor no matter what yeah yeah just he never raises

773
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:51,800
voices and the fact that he just lets Atreus leave as God on everyone she's

774
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:55,080
like you know a prisoner here because I know you're gonna be back so clever

775
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:59,400
because then you start to think hold on is Odin all right yeah yeah of a knob

776
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:04,280
yeah are we gonna be the bad guys mmm they made me think that a little bit it

777
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:10,200
was such a such a journey man I think the way that they ended it I was

778
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,860
expecting so we've gone completely off of what I said and started from the

779
01:03:13,860 --> 01:03:18,960
beginning we started at the end fuck it I think that there's so much shit to

780
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:23,800
cover that if you went for it would be a for I think that the way that they've

781
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:28,040
ended it because I was worried for you in that I was like when he finishes

782
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:32,920
this because natural I don't know if you're you're the same but if I finish

783
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:37,760
the campaign the chances of me wanting to go back and do the side stuff unless

784
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:41,680
I'm really wanting to like get a platinum or something so slim because

785
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:45,640
it's sort of like well I'm done now what's the point but the way that they

786
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:50,000
ended that where the credits rolled up as you were walking down the pathway and

787
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,280
then boom they disappeared and it was like okay cool you can carry on now I

788
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:57,120
really like that transition because it wasn't so cut and dry as straight back

789
01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:01,600
to the main menu continue exactly the same as God of War 2018 was it the same

790
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,360
when they walk back down the mountain after throwing the ashes in the Notch

791
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:11,520
yeah of course it is of course it is yeah I just really liked it and I did

792
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:15,440
think to myself I was like maybe I won't return to it but I definitely will I

793
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,840
definitely will because I want that platinum I feel like this is the game

794
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:22,880
this should be mine at my first platinum of actually given worthy of it for sure

795
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:27,600
100% and it's easily obtainable where did you think the story was going because

796
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:32,920
I was I had loads of different times where I'd like bold moments and I was

797
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:36,000
gonna write them down I didn't and I wish I had as I thought all these

798
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,360
different theories of what was gonna happen at the end hmm there's times

799
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:42,040
when I because obviously I play with headphones on obviously you don't cause

800
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:46,760
deaths in there but when you're moving with Kratos he breathes heavy yeah he's

801
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:51,880
like hmm so I thought he's just dying anyway dying of old age or whatever and

802
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:56,360
then at the end in the tent before you go to Asgard he's telling him the story

803
01:04:56,360 --> 01:05:00,600
about the farmer that can't carry on no more and when death comes I thought that's a

804
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:04,000
metaphor for him yeah he's just given up so he's just gonna that is what it was

805
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:09,480
he's just given up and he's ready to die now so yeah I thought he was just gonna

806
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:13,440
die of old age regardless by the way one of the coolest lines in the history of

807
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:18,120
anything is death can have me have me when it earns me I'll fucking love that

808
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:24,120
death can have me when it earns me so fucking cool it was so cool he'd killed

809
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:28,680
death you know I mean it depends what mood is in the case is nuts I think the

810
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:37,240
the raw emotion that you saw from Kratos was so unnatural but natural at the same

811
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:41,000
time because even to the point where quite a few scenes his lip was quivering

812
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:44,280
yeah I was getting upset his lips quivering and I was half expecting to

813
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:47,160
see a tear come down his eye that you never saw but I think you could sort of

814
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:50,880
see like him welling up a bit and like in the tent when he's telling that story

815
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:55,920
and he cuts off because obviously Atreus is asleep and you can hear the emotion

816
01:05:55,920 --> 01:06:01,040
in his voice that that that person was ready to to break down at that point he

817
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:06,680
sounded very very upset and I felt so attached to him and I think off the back

818
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:10,320
of you know that you're never gonna see Kratos again but this is it they're not

819
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:16,320
doing any more this storylines done as far as I'm aware that's false I thought

820
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:18,320
they say they come out and said they're not gonna do it anymore

821
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:21,480
they're not the Norse story is done I thought they said they're done with the

822
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:25,160
Kratos side of it they're done with Norse they're doing this Norse in two

823
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:28,920
series they just said that's all they've said they've they're doing two games to

824
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:32,840
wrap Norse up so that's why everyone thinks he's gonna jump to another

825
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:38,000
mythology yeah that would make sense because there's high there's a lot of

826
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:41,440
rumors about him going to Egypt and there's a lot of rumors about him going

827
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:49,040
to Japan I suppose especially with the with the opening of the Modumma call it

828
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:52,920
he's worshiped as a god yeah on the other side you see the shock on him he's

829
01:06:52,920 --> 01:07:02,920
like I made it it's very cool he they can go in any way they want now you can

830
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:07,040
now they can leave Kratos and you can go and play as Atreus

831
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:15,800
she's a fruit fruit yeah who's that fruit um fours daughter oh yeah I forgot

832
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:20,720
about I was thinking of Agraboda Agraboda yeah she was cool there's loads of

833
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:26,760
different shit I've got one disappointment go on and I'm sure you're

834
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:33,640
gonna share it one criticism not once did you get to wield Thor's hammer no

835
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:38,000
yeah yeah they sold it in a click-session I'm thinking there's no way

836
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:41,560
you don't go through this game you can throw it you can pull it back there's no

837
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,640
way well there's the same way you grab hold of it and stop it from moving I

838
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:49,800
thought that was cool I wanted to hold it he stops it he stops it from moving

839
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:54,920
the hammers in motion both arms he just grabs it and just goes no I thought I

840
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:59,320
thought I was gonna have a so powerful when we got really close to the end I

841
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:07,240
thought that Thor was what I thought the story was gonna end right at the end

842
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:13,840
was I don't think Kratos was gonna die but I thought that the girl you just

843
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:20,040
said Agraboda oh fruit she was gonna go with Atreus mm-hmm and that you're gonna

844
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:25,240
play as Atreus or whatever and she was gonna give you Thor's hammer so Loki was

845
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:28,120
gonna have Thor's hammer and his bow because you haven't really got melee

846
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:31,400
weapon you're running around hitting people with a bow mm-hmm that's sort of

847
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:35,880
just flies around Ingrid it's cool but I like that that Ingrid I want a weapon

848
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:40,280
Ingrid didn't actually belong like wasn't here was the Freya's Freya's

849
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:47,840
Freya and Freya that's confusing yeah no yeah I would have really liked to have

850
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:56,320
have had a little bit more incorporation with with Thor's hammer Milnur Milnur it

851
01:08:56,320 --> 01:09:03,400
would have been very cool but I suppose you you can't if that if that's the only

852
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:07,120
thing that you have a gripe without the entire game it's just yes you know I

853
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:10,240
mean choose one with the scene that we spoke about where we come up with but

854
01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:13,400
where it would be like if they both hit each other and then the camera panned

855
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:16,680
round and then you were suddenly for attacking Kratos I think that would have

856
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:20,640
been really cool but given how you how the stories panned out I don't really

857
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:27,680
see how that would have worked the trick they missed was that first fight with

858
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:31,880
Thor and Kratos and they threw the hammer and he threw the axe they hit

859
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:36,320
each other and then they walked around each other what should have happened

860
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:40,800
should have swapped to Thor no no they should have thrown a hammer throwing the

861
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:45,800
axe they're talking and they're walking and fucking Kratos gets the hammer and

862
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:50,680
he gets the axe and they go at each other yeah you've got that it's mad but yeah

863
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:54,280
that that's one of the coolest scenes in the game there and every time you go

864
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:59,920
back to Midgard and you see that frozen thunderbolt yeah that you caused when

865
01:09:59,920 --> 01:10:09,560
you yeah there's there's there's lore that you find out surrounding Thor Milnur

866
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:14,480
the Leviathan axe itself and things like that that I I don't think you would have

867
01:10:14,480 --> 01:10:18,960
come across it because I think it's part of a side story mission no I will do it

868
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:25,320
but when when whenever you do do it you'll know what I'm on about when it

869
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:33,000
happens but nothing theatrical but message me when you find when when you

870
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:36,800
come across it because it for me it was very much like a fucking hell really

871
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:41,320
like wow that's very cool and even like the characters in the game was shocked

872
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:46,040
by so is little things like that peppered in just like I can't even

873
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:50,800
remember the side mission it was where I've received this law from it was at

874
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:56,280
the end of a quest chain but yeah I'm just obsessed with those side missions

875
01:10:56,280 --> 01:11:02,040
man I think I think you're in for a treat playing them again I can't see I'm

876
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:05,520
interested to see how they pan out now that the Trius isn't there that's what I'm

877
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:11,480
confused about but obviously Santa Monica being Santa Monica they won't

878
01:11:11,480 --> 01:11:16,000
have made it so that you can go back and do them all and it like not work like a

879
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:19,320
try isn't gonna pop up out of nowhere they've obviously thought of this one

880
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:27,560
whether you just do it with Freya or whatever yeah it's I feel like there's

881
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:32,320
so much to talk about but that first switch when you start it because you

882
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:37,520
you're listening to Kratos talking to Mamiya and and then Sinjri comes around

883
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:43,040
and he's like couldn't sleep and you make a trash jump and then you when you

884
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:45,840
were a Trius yeah but you like crawl along and you see Brock and he ducks

885
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:48,880
down and then I thought what's this awkward pause for because they're just

886
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:55,560
like I was like move down looks to move forward I was like what the fuck I'm playing as a Trius what the hell

887
01:11:55,560 --> 01:12:00,480
I thought it was the cutscene still and they made it very very made him very

888
01:12:00,480 --> 01:12:04,560
playable because I don't know if you noticed but they they scaled down the

889
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:09,200
enemies for when you play as a Trius so you kill them a lot quicker your attacks

890
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:14,160
feel a lot a lot heavier as they should they didn't make it as difficult as the

891
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:18,840
shit that you were fighting as Kratos he's just feels so much more nimble he's

892
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:22,600
like why more nimble diving around where's Curtis he's like slow and

893
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:27,440
deliberate I'm gonna be wrong I prefer playing Kratos I think what what did you

894
01:12:27,440 --> 01:12:32,160
use weapon wise more consistently everyone has a favor I started off with

895
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:38,240
the axe and then moved on to the blades it I think the blades are mainly just

896
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:41,680
for when these large groups people to try and keep some groups off here

897
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:45,760
because you can get overwhelmed I played on normal bro and I'm ashamed to say how

898
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:50,080
many times I died that game is hard I died a lot there's some times where I'm

899
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:55,440
like surely it's not this hard then then berserkers on give me god of war mode I

900
01:12:55,440 --> 01:12:59,040
don't know how the fuck anyone's supposed to do them because that yeah

901
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:02,120
those enemies are difficult all the other enemies were difficult I died

902
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:06,320
countless times thank fuck for that resurrection stone yeah because I used

903
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:12,040
that a hell of a lot but I superior resurrect yeah yo yeah I used the blades

904
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:17,640
chaos the most I love the blood out of everything drop near spear very very

905
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:24,120
cool yeah very cool weapon I didn't really get along with the mechanics of

906
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:31,320
using it but I killed Odin with that spear I don't know why I just seemed to

907
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:36,760
do the most amount of damage and was the easiest thing to use yeah I weren't

908
01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:41,000
expecting that as a weapon if I'm honest I really weren't Heimdall was very good

909
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:46,040
as well yeah he's acting was oh yeah when he fucking when he lands that punch

910
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:49,680
on him that's the bit that was spoiled for me because I was I wasn't anywhere

911
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:55,440
near as God yet but try us hadn't even entered as God and I was scrolling

912
01:13:55,440 --> 01:14:00,680
through tick-tock and a video come up of them fighting of Heimdall and Kratos

913
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:03,880
fighting and I quickly scrolled past it and I was a bit like fucking hell

914
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:09,160
because obviously that like the gates has already been introduced but I wasn't

915
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:12,480
expecting a fight like that I thought that was fucking cool when he obviously

916
01:14:12,480 --> 01:14:17,120
when he hit his braces and I thought he's landed a hit and then the next bit

917
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:22,080
you fucking crack his cheekbone open I was like what the fuck this guy's is

918
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:26,360
nuts and nothing can stop this man and then you fucking beat the shit out of

919
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:31,200
him and then when you kill it kill him I was like what the fuck he lost it so

920
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:35,400
obviously he's not supposed to I was like no now that also now see Ragnarok's

921
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:39,880
about the fucking beginning you've done it Ragnarok himself that was nuts yeah

922
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:44,400
that's crazy fucking Valkyrie you have to fight up there man oh well as you

923
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:48,520
struggle with them yeah they're fucking pain in the ass man blades of chaos man I'm telling you I

924
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:54,320
leveled up all my shit I was fucking wailing on him that that that area alone

925
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:58,200
when you walk out of the cave and then it's just like space I was like this

926
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:01,040
place is gorgeous like this looks this is incredible

927
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:04,880
yeah he's crazy oh yeah he wasn't a nice guy like Ragnarok he's a bit of a weirdo

928
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:08,600
they sort of didn't really close up on that what they did but they didn't

929
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:13,040
obviously Freya Freya Freya I really don't know how you say it without

930
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:18,120
talking about the other Freya obviously he's died from the Freya

931
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:22,920
brother Freya from Ragnarok which I suppose does clear up what really

932
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:28,200
happened to Ragnarok but it does it doesn't really it doesn't it doesn't

933
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:33,640
Freya brother Freya gives you the flying boat yeah you don't use it again you

934
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:41,680
have used it I used it I used it one other time to cross to traverse over a

935
01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:46,360
certain part of the map and that was it haven't used it again since whether

936
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:52,840
there's other parts but I but no didn't didn't really bother that was cool I

937
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:56,960
like that yeah weren't expecting it was very cool one moment that does stand out

938
01:15:56,960 --> 01:16:00,720
to me that you probably didn't pay much attention to it did make me laugh was

939
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:04,320
you where you get on like a little train ride thing and you're going up mmm and

940
01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:09,360
the train stops and there's a fucking no no they're all jumping in all these

941
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:13,040
monsters and you're trying to pull the brake then the brake snaps then the

942
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:16,800
fucking train just burst open and there's a fucking humongous troll in

943
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:22,480
there he grabs you and yeah crows up you know boss fight now crows just chops his

944
01:16:22,480 --> 01:16:26,600
head off yeah then you fight them in the in the goal you came before this time

945
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:30,480
he's just like no I'm not fucking yeah I'm not dealing with your shit it just chops him up

946
01:16:30,480 --> 01:16:34,200
yeah them trolls went down a lot easier this time around than in the last game

947
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:40,520
100% I think there was there's still you I don't know if you would have noticed

948
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:45,400
it at the very beginning obviously you have the chests where you have to hit

949
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:48,400
the rooms don't you and there's ones where you have to hit them and there's

950
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:52,720
ones we have to set on fire there's other ones right at the beginning there's

951
01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:57,520
one there and it's it's nothing it's little stones with like blue light

952
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:02,000
flashing on them I don't know how you do them because I haven't got I still

953
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:05,320
haven't unlocked anything to do them and I haven't googled it

954
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:10,280
you're not just the runic arrows no no tried them there's a good couple it

955
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:12,920
might be I might just be doing it wrong but there's a good couple of chests I've

956
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:16,800
come across where it's like no can't do them can't touch any of that there's a

957
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:20,960
there's quite a few little bits where because I think I've probably explored

958
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:29,760
I'm gonna say 90% of the game of what it has to offer me so there's really not a

959
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:35,160
lot left but there's definitely bits that I have visited but couldn't quite

960
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:42,080
get through because I hadn't unlocked the spear yet or the bow so that I just

961
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:47,640
haven't returned to yet but yeah there's definitely shit that that I'm excited to

962
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:51,720
go back to I think this game's just incredible I think when I first started

963
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:55,800
playing I was really conflicted as to whether this would get game of the year

964
01:17:55,800 --> 01:18:01,440
or Elden Ring and I think having finished God of War I think God of War

965
01:18:01,440 --> 01:18:06,960
will take it because the story alone it's just incredible it's gut-wrenching

966
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:11,280
really properly gut-wrenching you go back to Kratos in the first one and how

967
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:16,640
he is at the start with I'll try as to how he is now and he's like it's just

968
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:20,800
complete arc with him in him within himself yeah well he becomes a father

969
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:27,040
I think it's the well like one of the very last scenes with him and Atreus

970
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:31,480
together where he's he apologizes and he's like I was wrong don't close your

971
01:18:31,480 --> 01:18:35,680
heart he's like open it open it to everything around you that the world see

972
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:41,680
it and he's like cuz that's who who you are and I think towards the end Kratos

973
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:49,080
finally like lets Faye deal with it all the things that Faye told him and he's

974
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:54,440
sort of ignored and gone that Spartan way with with bringing up Atreus and it

975
01:18:54,440 --> 01:18:58,200
was nice to see at the end that he sort of abandons that and he's like no

976
01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:05,000
Atreus you you're your own man you do your own thing you are you are who Faye

977
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:11,240
taught you to be so be it very cool Faye was a very cool character yeah played

978
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:15,680
by Deborah Anne from Daredevil very cool looks like that as well very

979
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:23,800
cool I really enjoyed fighting the wolf in Hillheim yeah Garm that was fucking

980
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:27,600
that was so cool this is how I know how much I really like this game because I

981
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:31,800
never remember names and I remember a good fucking 80% of the names here Garm

982
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:36,000
and then when you turn him into Fenrir I weren't expecting that I was like how

983
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:40,520
fucking cool was that oh no I was expecting that I also knew as soon as

984
01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:47,080
you put that soul into this snake that that was gonna be Jorg Munda yeah I knew

985
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:49,880
that was gonna be the world serpent but the world so this is what I don't

986
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:53,280
understand because the world serpent was already there it's Ragnarok it loops

987
01:19:53,280 --> 01:20:00,600
time loops because Jorg Munda is supposed to be Loki's son oh yeah yeah

988
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:04,000
didn't think of it that way Ragnarok's supposed to happen and then the world like loops round again

989
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:08,800
yeah yeah yeah so yeah that was so yeah and that's such a head fuck so you got the first God

990
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:14,480
2018 God of War the world serpents there but and you're a kid as Atreus but you

991
01:20:14,480 --> 01:20:18,720
it's actually you that is the reason why the world serpents there yeah I don't

992
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:21,400
know if that's the law they're going with in this in this game but that's how

993
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:25,480
it's pretty sure in Norse mythology that's how I think that sort of them I

994
01:20:25,480 --> 01:20:28,320
think that is the law they went with because when you have the final battle

995
01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:34,440
obviously you see for fighting the world serpent such and and Atreus does go ah

996
01:20:34,440 --> 01:20:40,360
that's that was me so he's aware that that is the the snake's quite as easy

997
01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:47,400
looks different yeah very very fucking cool very cool and then even when they

998
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:52,400
put Odin into one of those orbs and Sindri just comes out of nowhere and

999
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:59,640
he's like what does he say that's what that's what you expect or something like

1000
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:04,920
that he says one final line straightaway this bit yeah just gone yeah

1001
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:09,280
fucking about Sindri's you broken man he's done it he turns up at the end for

1002
01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:13,320
Ragnarok then he opens a door fucks off opens door fucks off he turns up for the

1003
01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:21,120
funeral and then fucks off very quickly he's very upset man very sad but very

1004
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:26,600
good game very good game exceeded my expectations plus s plus it's plus plus

1005
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:32,440
it is one of the very fine it's one of the very few games where it has surpassed

1006
01:21:32,440 --> 01:21:36,760
the hype that was around it and a lot of games like this you get such big hype

1007
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:44,080
for it and it just falls short and from the first five minutes of playing God of

1008
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:47,960
War Ragnarok you knew that this was living up to the hype and it was going

1009
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:53,920
further than that hype I've it's been a long long time since I've played a game

1010
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:58,360
like this and been so invested with the story and so excited to come back and

1011
01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:01,560
play it and never know what's gonna happen do you know and I played it with

1012
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:06,560
Steph again like the last of us part two I sat there in my chair in front of the

1013
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:11,360
telly angled off to the side so that Steph could actually see partly of what

1014
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:16,640
was going on and she experienced a lot of it with me and and and it just a

1015
01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:21,040
fucking awesome game and that is the type of game that will go down in history

1016
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:26,360
100% I'll never forget it never never and I'm so happy that I'm not rubbing it

1017
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:29,160
in but I'm so happy that I have something like the collector's edition

1018
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:35,200
to remember that game by because such a fucking good game I haven't bought that

1019
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:38,280
because you would never be able to get it again you'll be able to sell it for

1020
01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:45,400
loads of money I've got that because I felt that Santa Monica studios deserved

1021
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:50,040
that money from me for the effort they've put into this game and I'm so

1022
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:55,080
happy that I've got that memorabilia of this game because it's just fucking nuts

1023
01:22:55,080 --> 01:23:01,520
it will win game of the year I think it should this but it's also that recency

1024
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:05,600
bias I mentioned before because at the time Elden Ring was just something else

1025
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:09,680
and that will still come back to Elden Ring still is fucking something yeah it's

1026
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:13,960
still it's still up there like it's in its own category of absolute nuts that

1027
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:16,560
will go down in history as well it's hard because you can't compare them

1028
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:20,400
they're different games completely different great that God of War is it's just

1029
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:30,360
phenomenal story and combat but the only thing I could do is the is the puzzles

1030
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:34,720
right but you need them to break it up yeah but they weren't even they weren't

1031
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:37,800
even that bad it's not bad I just get a bit I'm not another one we've got

1032
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:41,280
fucking push a block around or whatever it's there was there was a couple with

1033
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:45,280
like the runic arrows and the fire linking up there was a couple that a

1034
01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:50,960
bit like fucking hell this is really difficult but overall yeah it was

1035
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:56,680
decent I don't think there's anything in Ragnarok where I wouldn't want to see it

1036
01:23:56,680 --> 01:24:03,280
or I think I'd be better off without it I think overall fantastic oh 100% the

1037
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:09,200
but Agrabod is on here as well the big oh yeah that was well she was a big

1038
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:13,840
motherfucker running around feeling like a little ant in her massive cups and

1039
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:18,200
bowls and shit like that yeah she was cool the whole the whole story of it I

1040
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:25,640
would like to see more of Agraboda's world yeah obviously she's a giant I

1041
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:29,120
would I would like to explore that I would like to see more Freya now that

1042
01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:34,120
she's a Valkyrie I think that would be very cool and I'd like to see Frodo's a

1043
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:39,440
Valkyrie as well because obviously her mum I can't remember her name Sif Sif is

1044
01:24:39,440 --> 01:24:45,160
like I want you to be a Valkyrie but not under Odin so it'll be cool to see that

1045
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:48,960
I'm sort of trying to wrap it up a bit because I really need a piss yeah so

1046
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:54,400
right before we go it's your favorite moment you stand out my favorite moment

1047
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:59,240
the whole game in the whole game I know there's millions and this is just if you

1048
01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:07,280
had to pick one killing Heimdall fighting him being the one to land land

1049
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:14,160
the only person ever to land a hit on Heimdall and then to kill him you know

1050
01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:17,960
I mean this geezer thinks that he's top of the world he is number one no one

1051
01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:21,640
can fucking touch him and then Kratos comes out of nowhere and just fucks him

1052
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:28,640
up with quite ease and I thought that that to me it was a turning point in the

1053
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:32,520
whole war factor of it that was when Ragnarok was set in stone I was like

1054
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:36,240
right well this is the path we're now going down he didn't want to do it but

1055
01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:41,040
that that God of War in him come out blows the whole other very last minute I

1056
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:44,400
said to Steph I was like if you had that horn you would be tempted to just give

1057
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:47,720
it a little little see how much of a blow it really needs to set things off

1058
01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:51,280
because if it's just like a little gust of wind to go through it and that sets

1059
01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:58,560
off Ragnarok but yeah that was my favorite my favorite part yours it'd

1060
01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:02,720
probably be what we discussed last week where you think you've failed the

1061
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:06,720
quick time event and yeah I was like no I say when we're done and brings you

1062
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:09,400
back to life yeah one of my favorite things to do at the moment is to watch

1063
01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:14,480
YouTube videos of people react into it because it is hilarious everyone's like

1064
01:26:14,480 --> 01:26:17,200
ah yeah I thought I was dead as well as I was like fuck I was like I was definitely

1065
01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:20,520
mashing circle what's going on I didn't want to tap it that I don't play my controller

1066
01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:25,360
it's like no it's forced decision very cool I really like the way Odin takes

1067
01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:29,640
you in Ravens yeah it's very cool I love everything but it's a fantastic game

1068
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:32,760
fantastic game I think it might be one of the only single-player games where I

1069
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:35,880
could probably play it again s plus plus plus the highest possible

1070
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:40,480
