<v Speaker 4>I think it's my Hey, I think.
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, Toby annoyed me.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he was going to betray me.
<v Speaker 14>He also tries to rob you immediately. It's like not
<v Speaker 14>a good first impression. You're good guy, good guy your mine.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he's like like he was the one that was
<v Speaker 5>like secretly actually kind of a good guy the whole time.
<v Speaker 3>And I love that that. You know, it's tropes, but
<v Speaker 3>I really like that stuff.
<v Speaker 7>And he looks after he looks after his girls at
<v Speaker 7>the club.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, after his like he once he decides to like
<v Speaker 5>start taking care of you too. It's like okay, yeah,
<v Speaker 5>you feel.
<v Speaker 12>That warmth when he when he gets patched up by
<v Speaker 12>like the older girl who works at the club, and
<v Speaker 12>then she's just like, oh, he's taking.
<v Speaker 1>Care of me.
<v Speaker 4>He's very progressive proces working.
<v Speaker 1>Exactly, very daddy.
<v Speaker 3>So we're keeping your mind dropping to Masawa and yeah.
<v Speaker 4>Cool, like you know, not as not as impactful.
<v Speaker 12>No, I would say the what's her name from? Uh,
<v Speaker 12>like a dragon who's the head of the Korean gang.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I can't remember me there.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, oh yes, yeah, she's great.
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, we want to have these taken characters face off
<v Speaker 1>against each other.
<v Speaker 8>Look as you're saying it a lot better.
<v Speaker 7>Which one is that I haven't played coffee.
<v Speaker 8>Mill and also dances and kicks ass doesn't like how
<v Speaker 8>much she likes coffee.
<v Speaker 1>I try to hate her. I think it's, you know,
<v Speaker 1>the flatization thing.
<v Speaker 16>Characters get flannerized have so like you know, it's with Flanders, right,
<v Speaker 16>So Flaters was like a little quirky and religious when
<v Speaker 16>they protroduced them, and then you fast forward ten years
<v Speaker 16>and the entire character is just fittly diddly dato, like god, okay, trying.
<v Speaker 11>To say one note, she's one note.
<v Speaker 16>I was just saying, just fast forwards. That's immediately It's
<v Speaker 16>like all it is is coffee. Everything she says is
<v Speaker 16>about coffee. Everything she does about coffee. And I get
<v Speaker 16>why that's funny for something I find it annoying and irritating.
<v Speaker 8>I thought, what Riena is that she's just bland. I
<v Speaker 8>don't think there was anything so exact opposite.
<v Speaker 10>She has been a cultural phenomenon in the FGC day
<v Speaker 10>why just because she's she's the cool new female Michimo.
<v Speaker 1>Character like lost her Yeah, yeah, I guess before the game.
<v Speaker 10>Came out, but yeah, she is the new mel She
<v Speaker 10>does spoilers for the story.
<v Speaker 16>But yes, it is going to be like it goes,
<v Speaker 16>she's like the new villainy before that story about she
<v Speaker 16>was doing the whole like he he, I'm happy to
<v Speaker 16>be here.
<v Speaker 1>You you look strong? Then like do you turn them all?
<v Speaker 10>Be like yes, it's really it's corny by fun just
<v Speaker 10>everyone loves her.
<v Speaker 1>I put her.
<v Speaker 11>I came up with this category.
<v Speaker 10>I wanted to put like her and Heisma on just
<v Speaker 10>because of like how much everyone loves those characters.
<v Speaker 7>I was going to say, I feel like from the conversation, Yeah, yeah.
<v Speaker 2>This is like the long game we've been playing with
<v Speaker 2>metaphor Ice made gets this.
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, this is what we've been alluding to.
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, although I will say I love my girl Helpenberg.
<v Speaker 1>Lots of good characters, I mean stroll Yeah, good boy.
<v Speaker 10>I also put both the four characters on, and I
<v Speaker 10>debated who to include because I want to include everyone
<v Speaker 10>strolls the best like best rank characters.
<v Speaker 7>The best toll, skinny blonde, best friend character, and.
<v Speaker 10>Like all the characters are also kind of trophy in
<v Speaker 10>their own way, but they do fun stuff like Hulkenberg
<v Speaker 10>is a fun mix of a bunch of the tropes
<v Speaker 10>that they've done before, and just all the characters really shine.
<v Speaker 10>I put Gelica on just because I want to talk
<v Speaker 10>about I think she's a fun guide. Morgana could get
<v Speaker 10>a bit annoying, and they played Teddy.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I didn't mind Teddy as much.
<v Speaker 10>Teddy twitch Teddy when he's.
<v Speaker 1>Also a bit problem.
<v Speaker 16>Okay, afore that I hope gets moved that when they
<v Speaker 16>remake that one.
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, but Gallica, you know, she has some sweet moments with.
<v Speaker 1>The potect is actually like an interesting character, That's what
<v Speaker 1>I was getting.
<v Speaker 14>I also like, for a significant early postion of the game,
<v Speaker 14>she just feels that function of being the annoying help
<v Speaker 14>a character for a while.
<v Speaker 11>She does, and she has a growth.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah death on Hi, I wanted to throw in the
<v Speaker 2>protagonist in this category.
<v Speaker 1>I was really happy that it wasn't a purely silent protagonist.
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, I'm a little over that. I don't know if
<v Speaker 16>there was like enough there for me to like really
<v Speaker 16>latch on and like love that character specifically.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's why I didn't. I wound him not putting
<v Speaker 1>the protagonist on.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but like out of all the Atlas RPGs that
<v Speaker 2>I've played, I've wound up like latching onto this protagonist
<v Speaker 2>more so.
<v Speaker 10>Then well, it's the only one who's not supposed to
<v Speaker 10>just be a stand in for yourself. Yeah yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 10>so we can cut the protagonist.
<v Speaker 3>Uh, we can got Terry as well. Terry is cute. Terry. Okay, listen,
<v Speaker 3>I like.
<v Speaker 1>Terry a lot.
<v Speaker 3>He's got fun energy. He he walks around with this
<v Speaker 3>like his arms curled like this.
<v Speaker 5>You know, he's a little kid, and it is like
<v Speaker 5>infectious to the point where now Addie. Whenever she's mad
<v Speaker 5>at me, she does walk into the room like, yeah, exactly, saw.
<v Speaker 1>That on the stream.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I feel like Terry's the one I would like most.
<v Speaker 1>Want to have a beer with Enough literally like a car.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's.
<v Speaker 3>To pick him up.
<v Speaker 10>It's funny you say that because you don't know haiesman.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all right, you can actually drink. I would also
<v Speaker 1>like to get a drink with Big Ron. That he is.
<v Speaker 10>He literally is like, hey, you're you're a little young,
<v Speaker 10>but you can drink. Here's some sock, Like, let's drink
<v Speaker 10>for the first time.
<v Speaker 1>Rough, like, you know, super serious all the time. Guys
<v Speaker 1>so serious.
<v Speaker 4>He's a good guy.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I don't know if he hangs though, it's
<v Speaker 1>probably not.
<v Speaker 8>Remind me Big Ron and Tiny Tom Big.
<v Speaker 7>Big Ron's Big Pies.
<v Speaker 12>Tom's Tiny Pat who's the voice actor for Big John
<v Speaker 12>Blythe used to work with him.
<v Speaker 17>Yeah, oh my gosh, that's why I put him love
<v Speaker 17>him kids.
<v Speaker 1>You just make them a little bigger. That was good God.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, who you take between Big Ron and definitely
<v Speaker 1>the most substance. Okay. I love when like Big Ron's
<v Speaker 1>like it tire shops gets filled with pie and like
<v Speaker 1>burst through the window, and it just seemlessly transitions into
<v Speaker 1>him doing a commercial. But that's good. Who's Matt Matt Barry?
<v Speaker 4>What is he doing the gardener garden?
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, but the problem with Matt Berry is I just
<v Speaker 7>I just I just hear Matt Barry. Yeah, I just
<v Speaker 7>hear Matt Barry.
<v Speaker 4>But I get happy when I hear Matt Barry. Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>I get really happy.
<v Speaker 3>Melina Way and so uh, I think it's so black.
<v Speaker 7>It's a British reference.
<v Speaker 1>So many people, the friends, family at home. Yeah, all
<v Speaker 1>the unnecessary yous.
<v Speaker 4>I heard them.
<v Speaker 1>Spoilers for Hades too.
<v Speaker 9>There reveal that once you beat them enough times, they
<v Speaker 9>write another song because they're so fucking pissed about how
<v Speaker 9>you've so many times because they sing the song. They
<v Speaker 9>sing a song about you fighting through the zone that
<v Speaker 9>they're in. And then you beat them enough times and
<v Speaker 9>then they get She gets mad and she's like, I
<v Speaker 9>write another song and it's about how mad she is
<v Speaker 9>at you.
<v Speaker 4>I think that's good.
<v Speaker 9>Milinoe is great, but I in a weird way, I
<v Speaker 9>need to see what the end of the game is
<v Speaker 9>going to look like before I can.
<v Speaker 1>Write how it works.
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I definitely can be Like, I like Milinay more
<v Speaker 9>than either of these. So, out of these two characters,
<v Speaker 9>Sylla and the Sirens seem more completed.
<v Speaker 1>I would rather go with Silla.
<v Speaker 2>The Sirens also just because as soon as you enter
<v Speaker 2>that second world, you just hear her singing faintly, yes,
<v Speaker 2>throughout the entire years.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just fucking bangs. Yeah, like so good.
<v Speaker 2>It felt so overwhelmed at first, and then just start
<v Speaker 2>cruising through it. I think, yeah, out of the excuse
<v Speaker 2>me too, from Hades.
<v Speaker 1>Silla for sure. Okay, okay, well that's it.
<v Speaker 7>We did, I mean, we have from I was going
<v Speaker 7>to say, Gallic.
<v Speaker 1>The boy we got five?
<v Speaker 5>I can I ask my my crew, are we because
<v Speaker 5>I feel pretty strongly about getting them on there, But
<v Speaker 5>I know you guys have a lot of other favorites.
<v Speaker 1>So I do like him.
<v Speaker 4>I do like him, but I for this, I'm pulling
<v Speaker 4>for a big rong.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>I feel like big deserves. I could see that it
<v Speaker 4>deserves his moment. And also I think, then, goodness, your
<v Speaker 4>head is of this moment.
<v Speaker 5>Right, like, obviously I have a by so obviously we
<v Speaker 5>got to cut more than this. But I would throw uh.
<v Speaker 5>I also thought rain It was kind of bland. I
<v Speaker 5>recognize a lot of people do like her.
<v Speaker 10>She doesn't do a lot for me, and I get that,
<v Speaker 10>but and I know Tam and might know this just
<v Speaker 10>how much people.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah okay, well yes, yeah, okay.
<v Speaker 7>Is the one I'm going.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 11>The thing is like, I definitely want to see Hi's
<v Speaker 11>May go all the way with this.
<v Speaker 16>So, uh was Rain it diminished it because the whole
<v Speaker 16>thing is like, oh, this is the new Hayachi and
<v Speaker 16>then they just kind of brought that character back anyways,
<v Speaker 16>did that kind of diminish Rain at all?
<v Speaker 11>Just makes Hechi look dumb?
<v Speaker 2>And my thing with you May is that in the
<v Speaker 2>first like a Dragon, all those characters introduced were so strong,
<v Speaker 2>and then like you Might, I do like the the
<v Speaker 2>his character arc just doesn't Like I don't find him
<v Speaker 2>to be as sticky as the people in the first game.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I think that's the thing is like this is
<v Speaker 3>a trope. They've done a lot.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there are a lot of this guy.
<v Speaker 10>You were saying to me about Raina. I've only played
<v Speaker 10>the first half of NFA Wealth and you my left zero.
<v Speaker 5>Definitely he hits harder in the second half, but I
<v Speaker 5>don't think it's so much harder that he absolutely has
<v Speaker 5>to be on here.
<v Speaker 4>I'm okay with cutting your mie, Okay, yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, huge.
<v Speaker 3>I then think that the fight is Raina and Scilla.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah that's right.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 11>I did not play Hades too.
<v Speaker 4>So I don't know what.
<v Speaker 9>Here's I don't are mechanics in the boss fight that
<v Speaker 9>the character appears in.
<v Speaker 1>Do that? Does that matter for the character to you?
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I think it does. It's a part
<v Speaker 1>of the character.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, when you so spoilers for Hades too.
<v Speaker 9>When you go into this boss fight, right, it's the
<v Speaker 9>singer and the drummer and there's a guitarist. When you
<v Speaker 9>take out you can't take out the singer first, but
<v Speaker 9>when you take out either the drummer or the guitarist,
<v Speaker 9>it deletes that track from the song. So when you're
<v Speaker 9>listening to the song as it's playing, if you delete
<v Speaker 9>the guitar, if you kill the guitarist first, then the
<v Speaker 9>guitar track is just out and it's just from and vocals.
<v Speaker 1>And then obviously other orientation.
<v Speaker 4>Sounds like a shoe and for best moment, yeah.
<v Speaker 11>That sounds less about so yeah, for sure.
<v Speaker 3>So I'm willing to say goodbye to my girlies.
<v Speaker 1>On this.
<v Speaker 11>Sure like we're talking out more fans.
<v Speaker 1>That's all right, I'm not going to die about it.
<v Speaker 4>You know, she's got the devil Jean.
<v Speaker 2>You know what, Nicky, we could potentially make a case
<v Speaker 2>for Sila next year.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I want to talk.
<v Speaker 10>About that later, not now, But I want to talk
<v Speaker 10>about its not done yet. Game's not out yet at all.
<v Speaker 1>Well you I'm not playing until it's out there.
<v Speaker 8>First of one, I was happy we played a lot
<v Speaker 8>of it.
<v Speaker 4>There's a full ass game.
<v Speaker 3>And then yeah, okay, well that's our three win win.
<v Speaker 1>Let's you want to talk about We talked about a
<v Speaker 1>lot in previous shows.
<v Speaker 16>But to be clear, he is just such a fantastic
<v Speaker 16>character of the way he is introduced, different expectations of
<v Speaker 16>what he's going to be like. He is kind of
<v Speaker 16>a sad dad, but such a good version of that
<v Speaker 16>in that part of him. It doesn't define him entirely,
<v Speaker 16>it's very important. It's who he is and it impacts
<v Speaker 16>him the entire game. It's not something it's like I'm
<v Speaker 16>cured from being a sad dad, but there is interesting
<v Speaker 16>growth there and here's more to him than that.
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, and I think the fact that even Dan and Grubber, like,
<v Speaker 10>wait the way are describing this guy's Actually.
<v Speaker 14>There's only one other RPG character that feels the same,
<v Speaker 14>kind of like.
<v Speaker 4>Mario from Mario Super Mari and it's like a there's.
<v Speaker 14>Something about an animal as like a yeah, it's Frog
<v Speaker 14>from Chrono Trigger.
<v Speaker 4>Yes. Seeing him, I'm like, this is a frog from
<v Speaker 4>Chrono Trigger, and I.
<v Speaker 10>Go a different direction because I get the biggest Barrett
<v Speaker 10>vibes from high It's just kind of.
<v Speaker 4>It's just like frog, frog is a frog is a
<v Speaker 4>nice I feel like whatever you want.
<v Speaker 2>I would occasionally maybe it was just like the line delivery,
<v Speaker 2>but like get Real from Final Fantasy sixteen sid vibes, Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I see that, And.
<v Speaker 3>Now are you probabbica?
<v Speaker 1>Heis fictional bets okay, man, okay? Is this like a
<v Speaker 1>shoot bat size or is this bad.
<v Speaker 7>Human very the size of the child?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, all right.
<v Speaker 4>The best new character goes to heis.
<v Speaker 2>Ma from Metaphor Refund Times and he's playing the long
<v Speaker 2>game Runners Up Raina from ten eight and then Big
<v Speaker 2>Raw Big Run the Big from Goodness You're here.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, damn it.
<v Speaker 8>There's a concerning amount of things happening that make me
<v Speaker 8>kind of okay cool.
<v Speaker 1>Ye, he's good. He's a ninja.
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and he's a trick boss.
<v Speaker 1>You know what.
<v Speaker 4>I think the.
<v Speaker 2>Easiest comparison is that he's like an actually really cool
<v Speaker 2>master Splinter.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I love Swinner is already pretty cool to the whole.
<v Speaker 1>He's kind of like your father thing.
<v Speaker 16>Of course, when there's a fishing mini game, he's the
<v Speaker 16>one who teaches you.
<v Speaker 1>How to finish?
<v Speaker 7>Does he teach you how to shave to?
<v Speaker 1>I love.
<v Speaker 2>The birds and bees talk was very awkward, awkward, but
<v Speaker 2>he did it did a pretty delicate way, and it
<v Speaker 2>makes me feel too skeevy.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, of course, of course. All right.
<v Speaker 2>The next category best compilation or collection. We have Doom
<v Speaker 2>plus Doom Too, Castlevania, Dominans Collection, the Legacy of Kane,
<v Speaker 2>Rocket Knight Adventure Resparked, and then Marvel versus Capcom Fighting
<v Speaker 2>co Election.
<v Speaker 7>I mean, I haven't got a single holes in this space.
<v Speaker 7>I'm just gonna sit back and let you know. I'm
<v Speaker 7>gonna make a coffee.
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna see, like, who dare you make me
<v Speaker 1>try and fuck with Tim on this?
<v Speaker 8>I downloaded a legacy Kane I'm excited to finally play it.
<v Speaker 8>I know Sam loves those games.
<v Speaker 1>Like Who's Gonna focus, Who's gonna fuck with him?
<v Speaker 8>I will say that I love those Castlevania g B
<v Speaker 8>A and DS games, and I've been hoping for a
<v Speaker 8>good way to play the DS games with you know, yeah,
<v Speaker 8>the the easiest to emulate. You can do it, but
<v Speaker 8>like it's not as easy as the GBA stuff. So
<v Speaker 8>like Order of Ecclesia is incredible. That's one of my favorites.
<v Speaker 8>So like just to have them all in a way
<v Speaker 8>that you can actually play, but that's it. I have
<v Speaker 8>not played this collection. The collection is amazing.
<v Speaker 1>They're very good ality of life stuff and you know,
<v Speaker 1>plus they added the original like Archaie version of Haunted Castle,
<v Speaker 1>but that also remade it and made it a much
<v Speaker 1>better game, and it's a very cool bonus. It's a
<v Speaker 1>fantastic selection.
<v Speaker 14>It's fairly good, the best cast Slovania games like in
<v Speaker 14>one package. That is like I feel like it's one
<v Speaker 14>of those games that I would be okay if they
<v Speaker 14>constantly re released it in every every generation going forward, because.
<v Speaker 4>I just want right And now they've done it. They
<v Speaker 4>put it on one screen, so they easily could. Yeah, exactly.
<v Speaker 14>I hope that it's a good enough collection that it
<v Speaker 14>should be like I should have long Jevyes, want I.
<v Speaker 1>Like more this year is that Marvus.
<v Speaker 4>Gosh, that thing.
<v Speaker 16>Everybody just wanted them to port mars cap come to
<v Speaker 16>and they could have just done that, and yes, we
<v Speaker 16>got that in all those other Versus games. Even throw
<v Speaker 16>in the Punisher arcade game for funzies and god, the
<v Speaker 16>neck code is.
<v Speaker 10>Amazing, fantastic rollback neck co which is what you want
<v Speaker 10>side as many people as possible can play it. The
<v Speaker 10>games themselves actually run amazingly. These are the new default
<v Speaker 10>console versions of the game, even though we're dream well
<v Speaker 10>dreamcasts had issues and everything, but people are like, this
<v Speaker 10>is competitive with playing the arcade version. That's how well
<v Speaker 10>these games run. And just the impossibility of it all
<v Speaker 10>where we thought we were never going to get these
<v Speaker 10>games back, like it was going to be tied up
<v Speaker 10>in licensing, hell and everything, and just that was.
<v Speaker 16>Is this the one who has Puzzle Fighter or a no, no,
<v Speaker 16>everyone that's that's been for a long time, okay with
<v Speaker 16>puzzle Fighter, Yeah, yeah, that's definitely.
<v Speaker 1>This is just the Marl Versus Captain fighting games, and
<v Speaker 1>and the X Men, Children of the Adam X, the
<v Speaker 1>Street Fighter and so and so forth. It's fantastic.
<v Speaker 16>I mean, even if I'm not like playing it all
<v Speaker 16>the time, I'm watching videos of it still almost a
<v Speaker 16>few times a week's I just love that, like Marvels
<v Speaker 16>CAPM two is relevant again, and seeing bits from these
<v Speaker 16>other games and maybe didn't.
<v Speaker 10>Play a kind of embodies what these collections should be,
<v Speaker 10>and that they're bringing back these games for a new generation.
<v Speaker 10>We have these incredible new fighting game players, you know who,
<v Speaker 10>like the Sonic Foxes of the world, who are now
<v Speaker 10>discovering things that have never been found in Marvel two
<v Speaker 10>before because we're getting new blood in here and everything.
<v Speaker 10>So it's phenomenal collection.
<v Speaker 2>I want to say that marvel Ver's Capcom Fighting Collection
<v Speaker 2>is a definite lock because it repopularized.
<v Speaker 1>Dapping culture absolutely.
<v Speaker 2>And just like I feel like a little bit of
<v Speaker 2>the world was slightly healed when I saw Reu.
<v Speaker 3>And Psyclops, DAP all over again, Doom and Doom two.
<v Speaker 5>That's a really good collection. That's like the definitive way
<v Speaker 5>to play them. But we've had Yeah, what is it,
<v Speaker 5>it's just the big I think Yeah, Night Dive put
<v Speaker 5>it together and they really just made it so it
<v Speaker 5>like they just agal Doom, Doom, Yeah, Doom and Doom two.
<v Speaker 3>Which that's the that's the thing.
<v Speaker 5>There's been a lot of ways to play these games
<v Speaker 5>in a pretty good state for a very very long time.
<v Speaker 5>There are small improvements in there, but they're their minor.
<v Speaker 5>Although it's it is still the definitive way to play it,
<v Speaker 5>so worth calling.
<v Speaker 10>Now important to note that that's also official now. It's
<v Speaker 10>not like you need to do all this stuff to
<v Speaker 10>a want to make a better version of Doom.
<v Speaker 11>No, this is the official.
<v Speaker 10>You go on Steam if you never owned it, you
<v Speaker 10>buy and this new thing and it's like rated old
<v Speaker 10>people's copies to it on.
<v Speaker 11>Steam and everything.
<v Speaker 1>This is the new definitive one.
<v Speaker 4>That's cool.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>So it's just really good work.
<v Speaker 5>It's Nightdive doing their thing to Doom and Doom too.
<v Speaker 5>But we can cut it because those games have been
<v Speaker 5>the time kind of just is doing.
<v Speaker 16>Rock and I a Venture Resparks on here, largely just
<v Speaker 16>because I really like Rockets.
<v Speaker 1>It's just you, I love those games a lot.
<v Speaker 16>I think more people should play, especially the original, and
<v Speaker 16>you know, these games run very well on there.
<v Speaker 1>There's not a lot of other frills there. It's always
<v Speaker 1>also expensive for that kind of collection.
<v Speaker 16>I forget what the price was, but it was like
<v Speaker 16>forty bucks for basically like three sixteen bit era ROMs.
<v Speaker 16>So you know, it does have to stay here. But
<v Speaker 16>there's one shout because I love Rocket Night.
<v Speaker 5>I did just want to did anyone play Grandia HD
<v Speaker 5>collection this year?
<v Speaker 1>Is that new?
<v Speaker 4>Maybe?
<v Speaker 1>Is it not new?
<v Speaker 10>I think it's just a porpiause I played those games
<v Speaker 10>on PC as an HD version of years like, okay, all.
<v Speaker 5>Right, so maybe it's just an ord. Yes, it was
<v Speaker 5>on the big list of games.
<v Speaker 3>I just wanted to ask.
<v Speaker 1>I could be wrong either way.
<v Speaker 16>It definitely really is a collection on switch recently, but
<v Speaker 16>I thought that might even been last year.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.
<v Speaker 2>I didn't play though, somehow without being talked about. I
<v Speaker 2>think Legacy. If Kane has wound up in the top three, maybe.
<v Speaker 4>It's the luck that was easy. I think it's the luck.
<v Speaker 11>Who are you that one?
<v Speaker 1>I actually just want to know, like, is it a
<v Speaker 1>fath yes?
<v Speaker 14>So like I think even without I can make a
<v Speaker 14>case for it being the winner here because one I
<v Speaker 14>think it's the only one on head that hasn't been
<v Speaker 14>re released in some former of the before.
<v Speaker 1>It's been a minute.
<v Speaker 8>I mean the Casilvania of the DS ones didn't really
<v Speaker 8>get re releases before.
<v Speaker 4>That's true, Yeah, I guess so, yeah, yeah, this game.
<v Speaker 14>Obviously, these games got pulled and they people were like,
<v Speaker 14>why the fucks is happening? And the people, by the way,
<v Speaker 14>were a small amount of people. It felt like a
<v Speaker 14>personal attack on a very small group of people. And
<v Speaker 14>then when we found out, oh, they're remaking it or
<v Speaker 14>they're redoing it and pointed out it was like really
<v Speaker 14>really exciting and obviously nerve wracking. I think why it
<v Speaker 14>deserves to be here is two of the greatest games
<v Speaker 14>of all time that are also undiscovered for a lot
<v Speaker 14>of people.
<v Speaker 4>I feel like there's a lot of.
<v Speaker 14>Value in having a new compilation and collection knowing that
<v Speaker 14>a significant portion of people haven't played it. And it's
<v Speaker 14>the same for like Marves, skapcom and stuff like that.
<v Speaker 14>You know how we've got like finding a players going
<v Speaker 14>back to it. But there's a joy in knowing that
<v Speaker 14>there's definitely going to be new people that are going
<v Speaker 14>to play this and discover that love and it's going
<v Speaker 14>to be in a good way. They did some real
<v Speaker 14>kind of light touches in certain places to not completely
<v Speaker 14>changed the way it felt. I feel like what I
<v Speaker 14>love about it is it's still a bit yanky to play,
<v Speaker 14>but that's kind of like helps this game in particular
<v Speaker 14>because at the time it was so ahead of what
<v Speaker 14>everyone else was doing, so you get to feel like, oh,
<v Speaker 14>this is what I'm playing this. It's slightly yanky, but
<v Speaker 14>it's doing this before any other game ever did want that, yeah, exactly.
<v Speaker 14>So it's like this is the first time they attempt
<v Speaker 14>Someone attempted this, and if someone came in and made
<v Speaker 14>it perfect, you wouldn't have that frame of reference, that
<v Speaker 14>context anymore. You don't know what it was like to
<v Speaker 14>play without a controllable camera. They put a controllable camera
<v Speaker 14>in there, but it's not like free, free flowing controllable camera.
<v Speaker 14>It just gives you a few more angles that you
<v Speaker 14>can work with. It's still a bit annoying at times,
<v Speaker 14>but you get that, oh, yeah, this is how it
<v Speaker 14>used to be. They also, I think it deserves credit
<v Speaker 14>for how they approached it. It was a Chris and
<v Speaker 14>Andamis and aspire, So there's a person called Rainer Audron,
<v Speaker 14>who is a kind of become the de fact leader
<v Speaker 14>of the the legacy of Kine community. Almost she's incredible,
<v Speaker 14>and they based a sole leader.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, exactly, the sole leader.
<v Speaker 1>I don't get it. She's been in a soul reaver.
<v Speaker 1>She's been in the community for years.
<v Speaker 14>Like she's been in the community for years, and that
<v Speaker 14>community is long suffering and it's been an uphill struggle
<v Speaker 14>trying to keep it alive. And she's always been like,
<v Speaker 14>you know, the head of the spear in doing that
<v Speaker 14>and maintaining it. And a spy and Crystal land Amix
<v Speaker 14>got her to direct this project, which is that's really huge.
<v Speaker 1>I know.
<v Speaker 14>The fact is like she spent years and years and
<v Speaker 14>years doing a remake effort or re enhancing it just
<v Speaker 14>on her own, just just because she wanted to make that,
<v Speaker 14>you know, available to people. And the fact that they
<v Speaker 14>brought her in and made it official is amazing. She
<v Speaker 14>knew exactly what everyone wanted and delivered it paragraphics. She
<v Speaker 14>put a little not she but the team together put
<v Speaker 14>a little map in there that doesn't change things too much,
<v Speaker 14>little objective markers. She went in and all the stuff
<v Speaker 14>that was or some of the most of the stuff
<v Speaker 14>that was cut from it made it visible and like
<v Speaker 14>stuff that was unfinished put it back in the game,
<v Speaker 14>but not in the game game. You can just go
<v Speaker 14>to a menu and hit I want to play this
<v Speaker 14>cut level and you just get to move around in
<v Speaker 14>that level and like see what it would have been
<v Speaker 14>like without integrating it back into the actual legacy of
<v Speaker 14>Kane games. So like, the first game is brilliant, like
<v Speaker 14>it holds up so well and it's the perfect version
<v Speaker 14>of it. Same goes for the second one. Like a
<v Speaker 14>lot of people like that, maybe more, but it was
<v Speaker 14>I would describe it as close to as close to
<v Speaker 14>an ideal version of a re release source Legacy of
<v Speaker 14>Kane as they could have been.
<v Speaker 16>It's it's like it's it seems like more work was
<v Speaker 16>put into those individual games any other games on these
<v Speaker 16>other collections, even though they have more games like Thomas
<v Speaker 16>Collection and Finding Collection, they each have like their little
<v Speaker 16>Tree to the Surprise Punish Your Game, the Surprise Hunted
<v Speaker 16>Castle remake.
<v Speaker 10>Right, So yes, it does sound like legacy okine, Yeah,
<v Speaker 10>more work is putting to the individual games, which.
<v Speaker 5>Is what I was wondering because it was like, yeah,
<v Speaker 5>that's what I needed, and it sounds like that's exactly
<v Speaker 5>what I get.
<v Speaker 14>Bringing that those games to modern systems is not easy.
<v Speaker 14>But that thing barely made it onto the PlayStation, like
<v Speaker 14>they they have to cut an ending out of it,
<v Speaker 14>which is and that's another thing now where it's like
<v Speaker 14>originally it ends on a cliffhanger, and it's not a
<v Speaker 14>good ending on a cliffhanger because the moments.
<v Speaker 1>Before it are so.
<v Speaker 4>Intense and so like edge of the seat that when
<v Speaker 4>it ends, you're.
<v Speaker 14>Like what, Yeah, but it was a product evolution like
<v Speaker 14>ship this now, and they just could not find the
<v Speaker 14>place for it. But now that you have this collection,
<v Speaker 14>you get to go straight into the next part of it,
<v Speaker 14>whereas mothers.
<v Speaker 4>Like me I have to wait for years to be
<v Speaker 4>like what happens next? So it's ideal cool, you know,
<v Speaker 4>there's a part of me.
<v Speaker 16>Like once a fight more for Donna's collection and mars
<v Speaker 16>Cock was I like those franchises more sure, but like
<v Speaker 16>you know, hearing what Tam says, you know, yeah.
<v Speaker 1>It meats what I mean.
<v Speaker 16>It's all that work playing into it. I have no
<v Speaker 16>problem getting it to legacy of Kane.
<v Speaker 10>I think where I'm coming from is like you know
<v Speaker 10>this is outside of the conversation. I'm not the base
<v Speaker 10>man of the legacy of Kane games. But that's also
<v Speaker 10>now the category is is best compilation collection, and you're
<v Speaker 10>really selling me on how much work they put into it.
<v Speaker 10>When I'm talking about Marvel versus Capcom, I'm looking at
<v Speaker 10>how they have preserved something that has been ethereal in
<v Speaker 10>video games for such a long time. It has been
<v Speaker 10>so hard to play these games, even just single player,
<v Speaker 10>but let alone the fact that it has the best
<v Speaker 10>online multiplayer these games have ever had. They I talked
<v Speaker 10>to Masimos on EVO and he I asked him about
<v Speaker 10>the physical copies.
<v Speaker 1>Of this game.
<v Speaker 11>I was like, did you do this for preservation's sake?
<v Speaker 10>And you know, Transler is sort of like, you know,
<v Speaker 10>working that he's like the translator told me that, oh
<v Speaker 10>yeahs and mosas like a huge fan of physical media
<v Speaker 10>because of that reason, like he wants to have like
<v Speaker 10>stuff on CD and vinyl, and like he likes to
<v Speaker 10>get his games that way sometimes too. For that reason,
<v Speaker 10>that's why like the team want to put a physical
<v Speaker 10>copy so that this game won't go away again, even
<v Speaker 10>if we can't secure the license again or renew it
<v Speaker 10>or whatever, the fact that those copies are out there,
<v Speaker 10>that we made this the best collection it could be,
<v Speaker 10>with the best online it could have.
<v Speaker 1>We want this to be like the definitive way of
<v Speaker 1>play this, and so I think that goes a long way.
<v Speaker 10>But it's also very much just what Capcom is doing
<v Speaker 10>with these collections at this point, and they're doing phenomenal work,
<v Speaker 10>but it sounds like TAM's really selling me on like
<v Speaker 10>the love that was put into making sure that the
<v Speaker 10>Legacy of King collection was the best that those games
<v Speaker 10>could be.
<v Speaker 14>The final thing I'll say just to call it out
<v Speaker 14>as something that is very very like a cool thing
<v Speaker 14>they did is obviously that community has been in a
<v Speaker 14>corner just doing its best to keep each other are going,
<v Speaker 14>and now we have this moment where this game is out.
<v Speaker 14>They bring in kind of one of the key figures
<v Speaker 14>from the community to direct it. They also carry that
<v Speaker 14>community theme into the kind of bonus content. So like
<v Speaker 14>when you go into the bonus content, there's a section
<v Speaker 14>for cosplay for fans and artwork from fans, and that's
<v Speaker 14>I think that's really it was just you're part of this,
<v Speaker 14>you will here the entire time, So we'll include some
<v Speaker 14>of it as well.
<v Speaker 10>That rules as supposed to say, Marvel word, it is
<v Speaker 10>great to see all that, like old Bengal, it's really good, man.
<v Speaker 10>But it is just that stuff that's been around. It's like,
<v Speaker 10>here's a nice collection that sounds even cool.
<v Speaker 3>Doma's collection makes can sip when you work on one screen.
<v Speaker 8>Now, I like, yeah, screen, very very avid exists, and
<v Speaker 8>I will go back and play. But like, yeah, I'm
<v Speaker 8>not gonna argue against legacy game. And as someone who
<v Speaker 8>is not really played Legacy of Game but always been curious,
<v Speaker 8>I am very happy to hear that this good play it.
<v Speaker 1>I might started bring question, guy, go ahead. Is Raziel
<v Speaker 1>Is he vampire adjacent?
<v Speaker 14>He begins as a vampire? Okay, and then becomes a race?
<v Speaker 14>Okay's trade.
<v Speaker 2>For you, Tam, between Blade or Razzio vampires. No, just
<v Speaker 2>like vampire characters. I have to pick one either day
<v Speaker 2>Walker of the Soul Reaver without doubt the.
<v Speaker 1>Soul Okay, that makes volumes.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, Tam, what's going on with the dude's mouth?
<v Speaker 14>So when he was thrown in the Lake of the Dead,
<v Speaker 14>he that Lake of the dead is basically acid to
<v Speaker 14>a vampire.
<v Speaker 4>So on the way down.
<v Speaker 1>The thing.
<v Speaker 14>The character, what he looks like is basically what remains
<v Speaker 14>after being dissolved, so he doesn't have a lower jaw.
<v Speaker 1>He did that, Yeah, it's cool. Yeah.
<v Speaker 14>So he uses like the sash of his clan and
<v Speaker 14>wraps it around his face and holds it when he's
<v Speaker 14>breathing souls.
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty cool.
<v Speaker 4>It's pretty badass. Before he before he dies, he looks
<v Speaker 4>exactly like Saint John.
<v Speaker 3>Damn, you're trying to think of his name that you got. No.
<v Speaker 4>Wow, it's a very famous actor musician.
<v Speaker 7>My brand with the scarff Lenny Kravitz.
<v Speaker 4>I'll explain to you.
<v Speaker 14>I'm gonna do it off Mic because I'm so embarrassed
<v Speaker 14>about this.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it's.
<v Speaker 4>Like you're saying something.
<v Speaker 16>There's one thing about Mars capcom clectionion. It didn't give
<v Speaker 16>us maybe the wow embarrassing.
<v Speaker 7>I'm not gonna put on too late.
<v Speaker 4>I mean, all the white people are upset.
<v Speaker 7>The frame of reference. He just said, the guy the prestige.
<v Speaker 4>No, yeah, I know, David Body, but my brain is Mike.
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna say something about think about Mars couction. It
<v Speaker 1>gave us maybe the greatest key art ever.
<v Speaker 14>Yes, yes, oh yeah, So I want to I want
<v Speaker 14>to do a p s A for people because I
<v Speaker 14>it's so hard to find these moments. The Bengus R
<v Speaker 14>is currently being used for the covers of a bunch
<v Speaker 14>of Marvel comings. Talking about that is the biggest that
<v Speaker 14>Vengus has ever been printed. I think unavailable, So you
<v Speaker 14>should go into I went to my comic book store
<v Speaker 14>and I was like, can you get me all of
<v Speaker 14>these like.
<v Speaker 4>Just on order?
<v Speaker 7>And he was like, yeah, sure, whatever, James, Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>James, yeah, yeah, he's a good dude.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>So if you should go out there and get it
<v Speaker 4>if you love Vengus, and I definitely do.
<v Speaker 2>All right, Best Compilation or Collection winner Legacy of Kine
<v Speaker 2>runners up, Castlevania Dominus Collection and Marvel Versus Capcom Fighting
<v Speaker 2>Collection as runners up. We're blasting tru categories, all right,
<v Speaker 2>Next category, Funniest Game. All right, we got ours, Jewel
<v Speaker 2>of Fairmore as Trobot, Infinite Wealth, Hell Divers to Indiana
<v Speaker 2>Jones and The Great Circle, Rise of the Golden Idol,
<v Speaker 2>Tactical Breed Wizards, Thank goodness you're here, Paper Mario in
<v Speaker 2>the Thousand Year Door, Lethal Company and Content Warning.
<v Speaker 1>I think if I could just speak because I haven't
<v Speaker 1>spoken a lot you just watching hockey highlights. I just
<v Speaker 1>don't understand a lot of these categories. I haven't said.
<v Speaker 1>The game is probably not over, you know. I think
<v Speaker 1>for me, I know what should win here.
<v Speaker 6>I think the interesting part of this category is like
<v Speaker 6>the runners up, Yeah, who does who gets?
<v Speaker 2>Like the opener to the main events stand up act,
<v Speaker 2>Like we're all here to see that band.
<v Speaker 4>But what's the funny game that you think should win it?
<v Speaker 1>It is the one?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, thank goodness you're here, right.
<v Speaker 4>Wine, You know I.
<v Speaker 1>Feel that way pretty strong. Same, I just don't know.
<v Speaker 6>I think everyone finds their own comedy and humor and
<v Speaker 6>a lot of these other ones. And that's going to
<v Speaker 6>be the toughest thing to square.
<v Speaker 8>Crazy, is that there are so many real contenders here,
<v Speaker 8>because I have for the longest time thought the games
<v Speaker 8>are not great at comedy comedy, right they are?
<v Speaker 7>I have a last minute edition.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Detective Duct Detective is really really cute, really really funny.
<v Speaker 8>It's like there's like ten plus twelve whatever genuinely very
<v Speaker 8>very funnymes.
<v Speaker 1>Like all of these are great contenders here.
<v Speaker 3>Funny for Oh they're funny for different reasons.
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, yeah, right, like the thing about Indiana Jones and
<v Speaker 9>like Lethal Company.
<v Speaker 3>Right, it's the comedy you bring to it.
<v Speaker 4>It's the comedy.
<v Speaker 9>You're bringing the comedy to it. The games, there are
<v Speaker 9>jokes and there is like comedy inherent stuff. Situation is
<v Speaker 9>ready to yes to do the jokes on top.
<v Speaker 4>Right, That's how.
<v Speaker 1>That all for sure.
<v Speaker 6>So with that said, I don't know if I would
<v Speaker 6>like I don't know if like funny is even in
<v Speaker 6>the top like four adjectives that I would describe Astrobot as.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, it's joyful, it's a music. Yeah say, Astrobot's
<v Speaker 1>more whimsy than funny.
<v Speaker 5>There's times where I'd go, uh, I can't believe they're
<v Speaker 5>doing this, and then maybe laugh to myself.
<v Speaker 7>It's more like sensible chuckles.
<v Speaker 4>It's no, it's just not.
<v Speaker 16>Let me say this about paper Mario thousand and your door,
<v Speaker 16>and I'm usually you know, I'm always a remix count
<v Speaker 16>and makes count.
<v Speaker 1>The script is basically the same original, right.
<v Speaker 9>It continues to be funny, but I do not feel
<v Speaker 9>good about putting it.
<v Speaker 1>I don't need to get yes very funny games though.
<v Speaker 3>Vibert, Mario and Astrobot found dead in Miami I.
<v Speaker 7>Don't think, to God, I don't think Rise of the
<v Speaker 7>gold Ninils it's funny.
<v Speaker 8>Scenarios are kind of funny.
<v Speaker 7>This guy's on fire, and but I wouldn't describe it
<v Speaker 7>as Yeah.
<v Speaker 14>I agree, Infinite Wealth is a funny game in many ways,
<v Speaker 14>but I don't think it's a new kind of humor
<v Speaker 14>for sure. Yeah, for you and like that human hits
<v Speaker 14>from me one of the time, but it's because I'm
<v Speaker 14>very familiar with it and I know it, and it's
<v Speaker 14>like it works or anything.
<v Speaker 1>In that vein then, well, not really in that vein.
<v Speaker 4>I don't know why I said that.
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, out in the vein.
<v Speaker 9>Mechanical comedy, Yeah, I think we have Hell Divers has
<v Speaker 9>to go up against tactical breach wizards.
<v Speaker 7>Tactical preachers.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it'sscript.
<v Speaker 1>There's goofy huge okay, wizards like working like.
<v Speaker 8>At a seventies.
<v Speaker 5>I was just thinking about pushing about the windows, like
<v Speaker 5>that's the funny parts to be Okay, it's very fun okay, cool.
<v Speaker 3>So then is it Hell Divers versus Lethal Company?
<v Speaker 8>I think has content and Indiana Jones, Well, I thought
<v Speaker 8>it was like Hell Divers to Lethal Company content warning
<v Speaker 8>going off what Nikki said about how it puts it's
<v Speaker 8>like a platform for humor. I think the thing that
<v Speaker 8>puts hell Divers above it is it does have those
<v Speaker 8>like situational comedic moments with you and your crew, but
<v Speaker 8>it also has like writing and tone and even the descriptions.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah exactly, Yeah, I.
<v Speaker 4>Don't I don't know.
<v Speaker 5>This doesn't work for me because I just when I
<v Speaker 5>think of the funniest moments I had with games this year,
<v Speaker 5>it was like Lethal Company and Content Warning. I actually
<v Speaker 5>left way harder when we were playing Lethal Company than
<v Speaker 5>any of the jokes.
<v Speaker 10>And thank goodness year here, and I was gonna say
<v Speaker 10>with content Warning, Content Warning gave Nikki the ability to
<v Speaker 10>be hilarious on camera and they just ran with it.
<v Speaker 5>That's an incredible stream. It's so funny and it's not
<v Speaker 5>like best comedy game. It is funniest game.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, sure, do your rs whatever you need to say.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I want to be clear, I'm a huge that
<v Speaker 1>like the number. I think.
<v Speaker 16>Really hard, this is the one I like that the most.
<v Speaker 16>So our Z was just people looking at those awful
<v Speaker 16>cd ISLA games like, let's just make one of those,
<v Speaker 16>and I'm sorry, Mike, oh no, that's Okay, I still
<v Speaker 16>love you, daddy.
<v Speaker 1>To fantastic. I didn't even flinch when he said it.
<v Speaker 16>And they did such a good job of replicating that
<v Speaker 16>and like both just being.
<v Speaker 1>That thing but satirizing it.
<v Speaker 16>And they're wrapping up in a game that feels like
<v Speaker 16>that but actually plays well and is mechanically still funny
<v Speaker 16>because it has all of that Jake and all that
<v Speaker 16>weird ui and the just absolute bizarre animation, strange choices.
<v Speaker 1>So the time was incredible.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and the animation you really can't like because it's
<v Speaker 5>like so unhinged. They never like look like they're tracing.
<v Speaker 1>Over the last It was originally done by like some outsources,
<v Speaker 1>some weird Russian animation studio original like this, like it's
<v Speaker 1>it's not something that you see anywhere else, replicating that.
<v Speaker 10>It's insane that it's simultaneously a parody and a really
<v Speaker 10>good version of that concept.
<v Speaker 1>It's so cool. Like my favorite thing.
<v Speaker 2>About our is that is I have no real fondness
<v Speaker 2>or memory of the Zelda CD I game, and seeing
<v Speaker 2>this is like watching animation studio.
<v Speaker 1>Break all of cinema rules.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and like every rule is when it comes to
<v Speaker 2>like a traditional entertainment I just I'm just haunted by
<v Speaker 2>the image of the wolf, just like kind of like
<v Speaker 2>cringing and howling to himself.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's just like it was so good.
<v Speaker 16>Just yeah, so many little like things burn into my
<v Speaker 16>memory of these characters, that the weirdo in the bar
<v Speaker 16>in terms of just games in general that had a
<v Speaker 16>specific mission statement and then trying to nail it are
<v Speaker 16>it's such a good job. It's so impressive to me.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I think Technical Breech Wizards is funny, but I
<v Speaker 8>feel like the passion is not.
<v Speaker 2>I think I don't know if it's gonna Yeah, you know, yes,
<v Speaker 2>I think Technical Breech Wizards is probably on my top
<v Speaker 2>ten and it was really funny game, but I think
<v Speaker 2>a lot of that is in the combat and like
<v Speaker 2>a couple of the missions, they're more better written.
<v Speaker 14>Than I think all the games on this This Tactical
<v Speaker 14>Breach was it is probably the best combining the humor
<v Speaker 14>of the writing with the humor of the gameplay.
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I get it, it's not It's also not
<v Speaker 2>gonna be for everyone. It's a very text heavy game
<v Speaker 2>as well. You can just skip all of that.
<v Speaker 16>I haven't got to play any of Jones yet, and
<v Speaker 16>I'm interested to see it here because, like any of
<v Speaker 16>it can't be funny, like it's it's it's.
<v Speaker 6>Funny, but like I think it's a testament to how
<v Speaker 6>well it captures the vibe of all.
<v Speaker 4>Of those films, like funnier than any of the movies.
<v Speaker 6>Yes, it's funnier because it's a video game exactly, But
<v Speaker 6>I would argue that, like the humor that we all
<v Speaker 6>find in it about throwing a hammer at a corpse
<v Speaker 6>at its butt, just watching it bounce off its butt,
<v Speaker 6>just sort of laugh at that, I.
<v Speaker 1>Learned a lot about you.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, That's what I've been doing. I mean, like I
<v Speaker 4>thought that was really funny. He was, he was laughing. Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>I feel like that.
<v Speaker 1>Again.
<v Speaker 6>It's maybe a similar thing Danshabat, where it's like I
<v Speaker 6>don't look to that, it's like, oh, that's a funny
<v Speaker 6>ass game.
<v Speaker 5>Right now, I'm sitting it's surprisingly funny here, and I
<v Speaker 5>cannot wait to get home and play that game again.
<v Speaker 4>But I'm not.
<v Speaker 1>It's not because I want to laugh, No, I want
<v Speaker 1>to run.
<v Speaker 9>Also, I would also go so far as to say
<v Speaker 9>that it is funny in the same ways that Wolfenstein
<v Speaker 9>is funny, Right, so it is not new in it
<v Speaker 9>like for them in what it's doing.
<v Speaker 4>It's like it is funny in the way the machine
<v Speaker 4>games are funny.
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, And I was going to say that, like as
<v Speaker 10>someone who hasn't had a chance to play this yet,
<v Speaker 10>it feels like every other game that we're talking about.
<v Speaker 11>For this humor is very much one of the focal
<v Speaker 11>points on the game.
<v Speaker 10>Whereas India Jones is almost incidentally funny. Like I know,
<v Speaker 10>it sets you up in some ways, and you know,
<v Speaker 10>but it's almost you can kind of do them.
<v Speaker 11>Most games you get also very good.
<v Speaker 9>You could also play Indiana Jones and have it not
<v Speaker 9>be funny. Right, there are people for whom they would
<v Speaker 9>play that game and it would not be as funny
<v Speaker 9>as they.
<v Speaker 4>Make it, especially the people that we like in this
<v Speaker 4>room the way we play it.
<v Speaker 1>And then so I'm what we do is we find
<v Speaker 1>the company.
<v Speaker 8>I am picturing someone who like plays it like the
<v Speaker 8>first person shooter and like uses the gun. We do
<v Speaker 8>probably just like a really good like adventure for you know,
<v Speaker 8>like we're just like.
<v Speaker 4>I'm still not shot a gun. Yeah, I don't don't
<v Speaker 4>to get to I am not shooting guns.
<v Speaker 1>I do on occasion.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but wait, would you say like the laughs that
<v Speaker 2>you get in Indiana Jones and worl.
<v Speaker 4>Like a yeah.
<v Speaker 1>In the Dick to Death?
<v Speaker 14>Have you?
<v Speaker 1>Okay, seems like the best hidden type of thing there. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>we are now down to six.
<v Speaker 2>But I think the battles between Hell Divers, Lethal Company
<v Speaker 2>and Content Warning Content Warning, Wait, thank goodness you're here.
<v Speaker 7>Then there was of a similar ilk.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 10>I think we have to pick between Lethal Company and
<v Speaker 10>content work.
<v Speaker 3>That one really did set us up with the cameras
<v Speaker 3>and stuff like that.
<v Speaker 7>And I haven't seen or played Content Warning.
<v Speaker 1>It's just someone. It's it's a lethal company.
<v Speaker 3>Like you you are, you go, you start at this house,
<v Speaker 3>you all wake up.
<v Speaker 9>You've got these huge like camera faces with emoticons as
<v Speaker 9>you can make yourself so you can.
<v Speaker 3>Make you pick which you're yeh, pick what they are.
<v Speaker 9>And then you get a camcorder and you get in
<v Speaker 9>this big elevator and you go to Hell and the
<v Speaker 9>goal is to create a video that gets as many
<v Speaker 9>views as possible on this thing called spook Tube. And
<v Speaker 9>you go down and you record videos of the monster
<v Speaker 9>and people in your party running away from the monster,
<v Speaker 9>and then you go back upstairs and you pull the
<v Speaker 9>DVD out of the camera and you put it in
<v Speaker 9>the computer and then you sit and you watch the
<v Speaker 9>video that you just created just with all of the
<v Speaker 9>video and the audio. And it's because you can drop
<v Speaker 9>the camera, you can have different perspectives. There's zoom and
<v Speaker 9>that you can turn to do selfie mode.
<v Speaker 4>Like there's so much.
<v Speaker 5>Stuff and it's it's literearly cut so as the person's
<v Speaker 5>like holding the button, if they like actually let.
<v Speaker 4>Go of it.
<v Speaker 1>There's weird cuts YouTube editing.
<v Speaker 10>It's a video game that'st us just give Nikki a
<v Speaker 10>cam corder and then we had funny moments where like
<v Speaker 10>a grub got stuck in this like Iron Maiden.
<v Speaker 11>Then Mike had to.
<v Speaker 4>Like to show to unlock and it was so far.
<v Speaker 11>And it has audio too in the videos that you watch.
<v Speaker 3>To buy the microphone so someone could be you can
<v Speaker 3>still hear them.
<v Speaker 10>Only like positional audio stuff that Lethal company has well,
<v Speaker 10>we have like boomcs and stuff that we buy and
<v Speaker 10>me like bump into face and stuff, and it all
<v Speaker 10>works as you think it would.
<v Speaker 8>You're like making bits in the game and then you're
<v Speaker 8>watching it like being like Junior High with the camera.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, soft, we're just playing on the TV. See what happens.
<v Speaker 2>The thing that it does it is like one of
<v Speaker 2>my favorite bits of like when you accidentally keep recording
<v Speaker 2>but you're pointing at the wrong the wrong thing, and
<v Speaker 2>it's like there'll just be a clip of like either
<v Speaker 2>Nikki or someone else that picked up the camera just
<v Speaker 2>like quietly whispering to themselves as like.
<v Speaker 1>They're walking and it's like, oh, okay.
<v Speaker 10>And I know we're not getting too external here, but
<v Speaker 10>just like broadly speaking, the way I've heard our friends
<v Speaker 10>throughout the industry talk about doing their streams of it
<v Speaker 10>and hearing their hilarious moments, I'm like, I didn't even
<v Speaker 10>think to.
<v Speaker 2>Do that, But that sounds as funny as us, though
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't, like it's not just us, that's exactly.
<v Speaker 11>That's why it's like just in terms of funniest game Boy.
<v Speaker 1>That game company came out last year, all right there.
<v Speaker 8>It's so smart too that the video you watch after
<v Speaker 8>you put the DVD in it just a saves it
<v Speaker 8>your heart.
<v Speaker 4>That's a good idea.
<v Speaker 8>That's the most sharable thing.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Uh does content warning go over hell divers?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?
<v Speaker 4>I think so.
<v Speaker 3>I want to say, I think I think content warning
<v Speaker 3>a lot, but.
<v Speaker 4>Hell there was kind many is like fine, but it's
<v Speaker 4>just Starship true.
<v Speaker 7>I think his name also came out this year.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure.
<v Speaker 2>I think the trouble with hell Divers too is that
<v Speaker 2>there's an obscene amount of that audience that does not
<v Speaker 2>actually understand the humor.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, actual problem, right, that's a human I mean it
<v Speaker 8>is just the tone of Starship. Yeah, like they're doing
<v Speaker 8>a great job when a lot of things have tried
<v Speaker 8>to do that, like satire military stuff, but like this nails.
<v Speaker 12>And yeah, duck detective, oh it's good by the missing salami,
<v Speaker 12>it's really that's a good stub.
<v Speaker 7>It's well, it's stolen.
<v Speaker 12>And you're a private duck detective and you are like
<v Speaker 12>a grim noir guy, but you're a duck, so you
<v Speaker 12>speak like, oh.
<v Speaker 7>My ex, she took the she took the bread, you know,
<v Speaker 7>all that.
<v Speaker 4>Kind of ship.
<v Speaker 7>It's pretty funny.
<v Speaker 4>And then you go to a like a.
<v Speaker 12>Regular office and oh no, it's a bus depot and
<v Speaker 12>you it's like the office of the bus depot, and
<v Speaker 12>someone is still in a salami and then you have
<v Speaker 12>to unravel the case.
<v Speaker 1>It's really cute.
<v Speaker 8>It's like a golden idol le like yeah, yeah, yeah.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but you have to, like, you have to grill
<v Speaker 4>other characters.
<v Speaker 7>Grill character.
<v Speaker 4>Detective.
<v Speaker 1>Are the other characters people? No?
<v Speaker 4>Different animals? Does the duck have a hat? Yes, black
<v Speaker 4>and white?
<v Speaker 7>No, his name is like hang on?
<v Speaker 4>Is his name on? Like a frosted door?
<v Speaker 7>Nobody has a run smoke?
<v Speaker 4>He's got a Rundown apartment? Does he smoke?
<v Speaker 1>Don't see Bob Hoskins and Roger Rabbit the secret?
<v Speaker 4>Sorry you are?
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah on?
<v Speaker 12>Wait wait sure you also haven't covered the fact that
<v Speaker 12>the way to solve crimes is called you use your
<v Speaker 12>powers of de Duck.
<v Speaker 4>Okay, that's pretty good. Yeah wait wait what's his name again?
<v Speaker 7>It's so good? Got a return of the Oberdin.
<v Speaker 4>He's not as gritty as I wanted him to be.
<v Speaker 1>Cute.
<v Speaker 4>He's cute, but that's the that's what makes it funny.
<v Speaker 4>He's everything is cute, but.
<v Speaker 14>He's acting like he's in the most like dire circumstance
<v Speaker 14>in life.
<v Speaker 4>And I'm going to start doing that, guys.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm going to just be a noir detective.
<v Speaker 4>But here also, there's a lot of comedy in seeing
<v Speaker 4>a duck detective, like.
<v Speaker 6>Like these weird conversations she suppised, like he was like
<v Speaker 6>unshaven a little bit max paying three.
<v Speaker 4>What does it hang?
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it hangs compared, I.
<v Speaker 4>Don't think it does either.
<v Speaker 7>But why is it so bloody difficult to find this
<v Speaker 7>character's name? Because it made me laugh?
<v Speaker 1>We can circle back.
<v Speaker 4>It's getting It's Gene mcquacklin. That's it.
<v Speaker 1>Crumbs, beauty, beauty, beauty.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm good for to go, but more people should play.
<v Speaker 4>Just announce a sequel and it's like three hours long. Okay,
<v Speaker 4>I'll put it.
<v Speaker 14>It's a very yeah, it's very good, like sit in
<v Speaker 14>bed and have a nice time going to play this. Yeah,
<v Speaker 14>it's really nice with the kids.
<v Speaker 4>Like it?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, I'll do yeah.
<v Speaker 1>And then I can't wait for the gimmicks to be
<v Speaker 1>like a little noir should do Batty and Maddie like
<v Speaker 1>as the kids do you.
<v Speaker 3>Mash our kids names together?
<v Speaker 4>Cousion dances on.
<v Speaker 1>This so dangerous because it only let kids to get
<v Speaker 1>obsessed with ducks.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they really do like detective stories. I read them
<v Speaker 5>a lot of children's novels.
<v Speaker 1>Have they seen Detective Pikachu.
<v Speaker 4>Yet I think I maybe I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>If I did try to show it to my will,
<v Speaker 1>they thought I was mad. Like everyone, all right, thank
<v Speaker 1>goodness you're here wins.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah right, I don't make that face yet. I'm just
<v Speaker 4>saying for like confirmation.
<v Speaker 1>I like that game so much.
<v Speaker 16>I don't have any big problems it, But boy, that
<v Speaker 16>ourz that make me laugh more. Yeah, it's I was
<v Speaker 16>pretty targeted by that because I've been fascinated with those
<v Speaker 16>CDI Zelda games.
<v Speaker 1>Sure, like since the CD I came out.
<v Speaker 16>I remember going to Best Buy and they had a
<v Speaker 16>demo station and we played it there.
<v Speaker 1>Sure be like what the hell is this? And having
<v Speaker 1>that stuck in my brain.
<v Speaker 16>My entire life, and then having this come out as
<v Speaker 16>this sort of validation.
<v Speaker 4>Made by people who had the same thing.
<v Speaker 1>Sure it was just the most gratifying the same thing.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, content warning, maybe laugh more.
<v Speaker 4>But let's say.
<v Speaker 12>What I was gonna say is that what Mike had
<v Speaker 12>for I had for growing up in Northern English.
<v Speaker 3>I think that was a duck.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 14>One key difference I would highlight here is it is
<v Speaker 14>funny for evoking a time when games were dumb and
<v Speaker 14>funny and bad and content warning is funny, but it
<v Speaker 14>also is circumstances and like you make your own fun.
<v Speaker 14>The thing that I think really elevates Thank Goodness here
<v Speaker 14>is like it's it's bridged a cultural divide in a ways.
<v Speaker 14>There's British humor is very very very specific, unique, and
<v Speaker 14>most people you can turn on a TV unless you're
<v Speaker 14>like wired to get it. Like Backlot watches a lot
<v Speaker 14>of British comedy stuff, you probably would just look at
<v Speaker 14>it and be like, what the fuck is this?
<v Speaker 4>I don't really.
<v Speaker 14>Understand it, Whereas Thank Goodness your Hair is quintessential peak
<v Speaker 14>British comedy, but it hits with so many different kinds
<v Speaker 14>of people because of the medium as well the.
<v Speaker 4>Way you interact with it, the physicality of it.
<v Speaker 14>Like it's hard to like see the humor and slapstick
<v Speaker 14>even when it's like culturally removed to another place.
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's like I don't really get it.
<v Speaker 14>But when you're actively participating it and there's a cause
<v Speaker 14>and effect of the of the actual comedy, it's like
<v Speaker 14>you get it more and you're kind of like, I
<v Speaker 14>don't I feel like if you had watched a show
<v Speaker 14>in which a man's stuff sausages through a whole. You know,
<v Speaker 14>in British you probably would be like I don't really
<v Speaker 14>get this. But because you're there and you're partaking it,
<v Speaker 14>and it's like you get you've had a little of
<v Speaker 14>lead up to it, and you're in the moment of it.
<v Speaker 14>I feel like it's really really important for actually making
<v Speaker 14>British humor and exporting it in a way that other
<v Speaker 14>people's can at least understand it or experience it in
<v Speaker 14>a like a microcolonic I.
<v Speaker 5>Think with this game, what really probably does put it
<v Speaker 5>over top is if this was the best comedy game category,
<v Speaker 5>there's no.
<v Speaker 4>Doubt this wins. This is the best comedy game of
<v Speaker 4>a year, without a doubt.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think so.
<v Speaker 8>About the hot tug part, It's.
<v Speaker 7>Just like I was just thinking about that, we play games.
<v Speaker 8>We're just conditioned like if something happens in the games,
<v Speaker 8>like well, this shiny thing has to be here for
<v Speaker 8>a reason, or they wouldn't put that ladder their for
<v Speaker 8>no reason, and so your condition like, Okay, something's happening
<v Speaker 8>over here, I'll go buy this hole and he just
<v Speaker 8>keeps putting hot dogs out, all right, am I just
<v Speaker 8>gonna wait here it's just gonna keep happening. It's just
<v Speaker 8>like there to be funny.
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I mean if you don't about funny moments, because
<v Speaker 12>the thing about Thank Goodness you hear theiry love is
<v Speaker 12>that they'll have a joke and then you come back
<v Speaker 12>to it builds on it. It builds on it, the
<v Speaker 12>coming down the chimney.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Ohn.
<v Speaker 7>Shaking, He's just shaking really good stuff.
<v Speaker 8>Like the funniest game ever played.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think it's the nosest comedy game.
<v Speaker 14>But another game, so I just have the episode is
<v Speaker 14>like above and beyond, like well you have to go
<v Speaker 14>shopping for the sick lad.
<v Speaker 4>Hand is like.
<v Speaker 7>When you're in the cat.
<v Speaker 3>There's so many good jokes.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all right, funniest game.
<v Speaker 2>We have, Thank Goodness you're here with our Jewel of
<v Speaker 2>Faramore and Content Warning as our runners up. We're going
<v Speaker 2>to take a quick breaking break because we have three
<v Speaker 2>more categories to go. I'm surprised we haven't had a
<v Speaker 2>surprise category pop up.
<v Speaker 5>Say, content Warning was number two there, that's the only
<v Speaker 5>one that Yes, yeah, okay, sorry.
<v Speaker 2>Mike, bye, and we are back and getting a little cozier.
<v Speaker 2>Day three is getting a little bit more intimate we've
<v Speaker 2>decided to bust out the blankies. Take the shoes off,
<v Speaker 2>might take the shoes off.
<v Speaker 11>Oh please, don't, please.
<v Speaker 1>Don't everyone else.
<v Speaker 4>I almost hugged his fot pillow earlier.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I said your life. I did.
<v Speaker 7>I'll never forget appreciate, thank you.
<v Speaker 4>I think if I want to, I can leave my friends.
<v Speaker 2>We have already crowned winners of three different categories, and
<v Speaker 2>we have three more categories to go. Starting off the
<v Speaker 2>second half of day three with Horizon presents Game That's
<v Speaker 2>Most Not for Us. The nominees are hell Blade two,
<v Speaker 2>Send You a Sacrifice one thousand X, Resist Metaphor, Refontasio,
<v Speaker 2>Star Wars, Outlaws, Funk Confusion, The Plucky Squire, Final Fantasy
<v Speaker 2>seven Rebirth, Dragon's Dogma two, Stalker two, Lego Horizon Ventures,
<v Speaker 2>and Dragon Age.
<v Speaker 1>The Veil Guard. Do we want some easy cuts here?
<v Speaker 3>Right, let's take a crack at make it.
<v Speaker 4>Should we explain what's happening here?
<v Speaker 1>You explain this category?
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.
<v Speaker 5>Basically it's like when we do ours, me and Mike,
<v Speaker 5>we do one. It's like game that we at least got,
<v Speaker 5>and it's like that everyone else seemed to love. Basically,
<v Speaker 5>going for that the game that everyone else seems to
<v Speaker 5>get that that we don't, but we're doing it collectively.
<v Speaker 4>So as Jackson or I was going to say, if.
<v Speaker 7>It's everyone needs, everyone seems to love, then like it's funk.
<v Speaker 1>Of just out of there. Definitely, Yeah, I love it.
<v Speaker 8>Why because No, I don't think really like game not
<v Speaker 8>for anyone.
<v Speaker 4>Oh, that's not for anyone.
<v Speaker 12>It's it's like you know Dragon Age got Time Game
<v Speaker 12>of the Year or something, right, Yeah, that's nine of us.
<v Speaker 4>It's just that's what I'm saying.
<v Speaker 8>It's gonna be hard. There's gonna need that people are
<v Speaker 8>like metaphor for example, as much as it's not for me,
<v Speaker 8>they're definitely are people and say it's going.
<v Speaker 1>But I think with how much it's not for you right,
<v Speaker 1>that bounces. We've had something.
<v Speaker 5>So like just imagining our heads two sides, and we're
<v Speaker 5>going to wait one thrusts for someone else will try
<v Speaker 5>to figure it out. I think I know the one.
<v Speaker 5>Like I just did a quick mentality. I want to
<v Speaker 5>say we think the winner is because we kind of are.
<v Speaker 1>I think it's Helple.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, does anyone really there's one?
<v Speaker 7>How many times it long listed?
<v Speaker 14>It bafter too firstly, like it's yeah, the disc or
<v Speaker 14>like the qualifications for that are the orders one weren't
<v Speaker 14>specifically for how it played. It is the audio romans,
<v Speaker 14>which understandable, and the Baptist stuff is like it's a
<v Speaker 14>British game, so there's like a that doesn't mean that.
<v Speaker 4>It's like there's a literally a lot of people like it.
<v Speaker 1>No.
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, I definitely feel like there are a lot of
<v Speaker 14>people that were into it whatever that's because they feel
<v Speaker 14>it's the quality of the game. There's also that continue
<v Speaker 14>of people that are going to back it because it's
<v Speaker 14>you know, Xbox exclusive or you know that kind of
<v Speaker 14>stuff Microsoft exclusive.
<v Speaker 4>But there's I feel like there's enough of it bend
<v Speaker 4>them around it.
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, and you can't really argue against like for West
<v Speaker 10>trying to do at least it is a very well
<v Speaker 10>made game, and so you can't see.
<v Speaker 11>What I'm getting at. Dan is like those components are
<v Speaker 11>well made.
<v Speaker 1>We just didn't like them.
<v Speaker 11>So that's why it's.
<v Speaker 1>It's not fun.
<v Speaker 4>I'll say this like I feel like I I think
<v Speaker 4>I would like this game if I played it. Help me,
<v Speaker 4>I don't think you would.
<v Speaker 1>I don't think.
<v Speaker 4>There's take it back.
<v Speaker 1>You're walking in sand, so much playing and you don't
<v Speaker 1>have to about the beach.
<v Speaker 10>It has one of the slowest openings of anger all time.
<v Speaker 10>Literally you have to hold forward actually like trudges for
<v Speaker 10>or for like ten minutes if you.
<v Speaker 8>Like walk and talk like Gears Batman.
<v Speaker 4>You know, just.
<v Speaker 14>Because it just it feels like a game designed around
<v Speaker 14>its strength, which is the visuals. What I mean by
<v Speaker 14>that is everything else is designed to make sure that
<v Speaker 14>the emphasis is on the visuals, which means you move slowly,
<v Speaker 14>you have to look around. There's so many environments where
<v Speaker 14>you're just walking. It's pad yeah, the beginning, middle, and end.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 8>The combat is very much like built around not it
<v Speaker 8>being fun to do combat, but like, oh this is
<v Speaker 8>resument on the face.
<v Speaker 1>It's just you know, it's not about the.
<v Speaker 2>Actually the problem is like those combat sequences are so
<v Speaker 2>drawn out that like you're repeating the sequences when the
<v Speaker 2>first time you do them they're supposed to be so impactful,
<v Speaker 2>and then you have the same sword clash guys.
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, and then like it's a very within the second account,
<v Speaker 14>you realize there's no depth to it. Like it's it's
<v Speaker 14>not satisfying, and it's like doing this Okay, I love.
<v Speaker 1>How like you're like my like gaming barometer, Like you're
<v Speaker 1>I trust you so much with that.
<v Speaker 4>Thank you? Okay, Mike, are we good to take metaphor off?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?
<v Speaker 5>Star Wars Outlaws. I don't know why that's on here.
<v Speaker 5>I mean it's it's for me. I love some people
<v Speaker 5>like it, but I know it's not for a lot
<v Speaker 5>of people like it. Fine, it's in the middle.
<v Speaker 4>It's fine.
<v Speaker 1>I think it's mid not like repulsive.
<v Speaker 8>I don't know if the amount of hype I've heard
<v Speaker 8>about a thousand times resists from some people. I feel
<v Speaker 8>like most of it I've heard has been from outside
<v Speaker 8>this group. Is anyone here super into those I.
<v Speaker 1>Loved?
<v Speaker 11>I played for the I only got a few hours.
<v Speaker 2>I would like the story, but the actual like getting
<v Speaker 2>there is just like it's long and a reading.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's been a.
<v Speaker 2>Game that I've played that you will be surprised that
<v Speaker 2>I like Atomic Heart No, actually, no.
<v Speaker 1>Shot like I want to be all right, we don't
<v Speaker 1>have to do that.
<v Speaker 4>That's another Maybe that's another KA recommend Jeff Games.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, like what I played without Exorcist, the like ten
<v Speaker 5>minutes of it.
<v Speaker 3>I played like maybe a half hour. I was like,
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure this.
<v Speaker 5>Game is fine, and I'm not like hating what I'm
<v Speaker 5>playing here. I do think it's probably not for me
<v Speaker 5>when I actually get down to it, but I'm also
<v Speaker 5>not repulse by it or anything.
<v Speaker 8>I think I am repulsed by the idea of it
<v Speaker 8>in the way that I haven't since like disco Elysium,
<v Speaker 8>where it's like I would fucking hate this the way people.
<v Speaker 14>Thought disco Elysium slander. You know, you know it's called
<v Speaker 14>a new vision of voice acting.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's fine.
<v Speaker 11>I don't.
<v Speaker 1>And he can't handle it.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, that's fine.
<v Speaker 8>Did you know I wasn't thinking about the dice.
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know the dice now extra super? So what
<v Speaker 1>is it then?
<v Speaker 8>Just that I heard super duper just talking ready?
<v Speaker 5>I think actually the pretentious, right, which is like they
<v Speaker 5>do what they do, they do that on purpose, they're
<v Speaker 5>good with it, but whatever, we don't know.
<v Speaker 2>I think there's parts of a thousand extrasists may come
<v Speaker 2>off as a little bit pretentious.
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what immediately drives me away from Let's.
<v Speaker 4>Keep it around for now.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, Dragon's Dogma two is very huge.
<v Speaker 11>Yeah.
<v Speaker 14>Weirdly I love dragons Dogma, but there's something about this one.
<v Speaker 14>I was just like, too, Yeah, I didn't. I enjoyed
<v Speaker 14>what I played, but I just fell off of it
<v Speaker 14>very quickly.
<v Speaker 4>Maybe I wanted to go back to it and I didn't.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this might be one that could.
<v Speaker 1>Hang on here.
<v Speaker 7>This game refuse so well and like, hang on, you
<v Speaker 7>onto that Griffin.
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly right, which is no very well.
<v Speaker 16>I was never that into it, but even the people
<v Speaker 16>were into it suddenly got very quiet when Game of
<v Speaker 16>the Year.
<v Speaker 1>Time people beating it multiple times. Also, I guess Warmans
<v Speaker 1>was so bad.
<v Speaker 16>There just wasn't quite enough depth there in terms of
<v Speaker 16>like the RPG mechanics. There's definitely meats up there, like
<v Speaker 16>you know, like with your Little Buddy guy.
<v Speaker 4>And I liked the battle.
<v Speaker 16>Mechanics in the way you can climb things, but it
<v Speaker 16>just didn't really come together for I feel like this
<v Speaker 16>sort going.
<v Speaker 12>And I was gonna say the thing I enjoyed most
<v Speaker 12>about it was the Monster Factory episodes did so.
<v Speaker 14>Like, I feel like there's enough interest in going back
<v Speaker 14>to it that kind of disqualifies it from this because
<v Speaker 14>like it's not for us. We're not clearly saying it's
<v Speaker 14>not for us, it's like we want to go back.
<v Speaker 4>But I think this kind of said that it's just
<v Speaker 4>not for me.
<v Speaker 11>No, I'm I put this on list because this is
<v Speaker 11>a hard not for me.
<v Speaker 10>I tried my best, like ten hours in and I
<v Speaker 10>like what even some of the devzon's game do elsewhere,
<v Speaker 10>but just I felt it was it doesn't hold your
<v Speaker 10>hand enough, which is weird to say about gaming twenty
<v Speaker 10>twenty four, but it was of more guidance those game
<v Speaker 10>It felt like they want to be here's our big
<v Speaker 10>sandbox that you can play and go figure out some
<v Speaker 10>fun to have in this medieval world, and I just
<v Speaker 10>didn't have nearly enough guidance to even figure out some
<v Speaker 10>of the mechanics of it.
<v Speaker 14>Being obtuse can be used as an advantage, as from does,
<v Speaker 14>but I feel like this is obtuse to a full
<v Speaker 14>exam most people. I also feel like I had this
<v Speaker 14>moment where the magic was kind of undone for me,
<v Speaker 14>where they had that you know, they were like, oh,
<v Speaker 14>I look at this, how you can take out this
<v Speaker 14>oga and it folds and like grabs on and that
<v Speaker 14>kind of stuff.
<v Speaker 4>And I went on and people like, look at this.
<v Speaker 14>Moment I had and it was the exact same moment
<v Speaker 14>from like five different.
<v Speaker 4>People, and that's when I was like, hmm, that's kind
<v Speaker 4>of weird.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that one can hang for a bit.
<v Speaker 16>I'm curious about phisy seven rebirth because i feel like
<v Speaker 16>I'm the only one in the group who loves that.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and this is one why I'm like, more I
<v Speaker 3>think about it. I'm sitting here looking at the list.
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, yeah, when I was playing that, we did
<v Speaker 5>that stream and I got to the big snake boss
<v Speaker 5>fight and I'm like, Okay, I think I'm having an
<v Speaker 5>okay time. And then also then I'll type to all
<v Speaker 5>I hear is and then there's so many mini games
<v Speaker 5>and all the stuff to do, and it just keeps
<v Speaker 5>going on forever, and even the people who like it
<v Speaker 5>are like, man, this thing just keeps on going.
<v Speaker 4>And I'm like, this doesn't sound like for me.
<v Speaker 8>It's actually Ring liked it for you know, a long, long,
<v Speaker 8>long time. And it's like once you've kind of gotten
<v Speaker 8>to the mini games, the combat, you know, you get
<v Speaker 8>to a point where you've gotten most of the upgrades
<v Speaker 8>and stuff, and then I just I think it might
<v Speaker 8>have been Take told me that, like the back I don't.
<v Speaker 1>Is good.
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I will say I with Mikey on this one, though,
<v Speaker 10>Like I said in our review cast, I think it's
<v Speaker 10>a nine. I think it's a fantastic game. It's just
<v Speaker 10>I have some very specific issues with it. But I
<v Speaker 10>like that the game lets you bypass a.
<v Speaker 1>Lot of it.
<v Speaker 11>For the most part.
<v Speaker 1>It's a good game.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, exactly. And so if it's actually gonna yeah, I
<v Speaker 4>still love it.
<v Speaker 11>Doesn't feel good.
<v Speaker 4>Characterization is very, very very I.
<v Speaker 3>Think it's enough for us.
<v Speaker 11>It just has some issues.
<v Speaker 4>I'll promote systems. Main issues are pacing, like, yeah, there's
<v Speaker 4>a lot of.
<v Speaker 2>Pockets of that game that I enjoy Plucky Squire though
<v Speaker 2>Plucky Square.
<v Speaker 5>I know, and there's gonna be like a lot of
<v Speaker 5>people do, which is why I'm like.
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to like it.
<v Speaker 1>It seems like a game like I was when I
<v Speaker 1>saw it.
<v Speaker 14>I was because we had and everyone was going to
<v Speaker 14>fall in love with this game because I saw it
<v Speaker 14>playing it and it was like, this is such a
<v Speaker 14>charming little game, and.
<v Speaker 4>People just didn't seem to give a shit. And I
<v Speaker 4>don't know if that's because they genuinely didn't work for them,
<v Speaker 4>or if because they couldn't read it. Yeah, I mean I.
<v Speaker 14>Thought it was like adorable and so in like creative
<v Speaker 14>and ingenuity in there, and the way it kind of
<v Speaker 14>like inside the storybook outside the storybook.
<v Speaker 4>I thought it was I thought it was like one
<v Speaker 4>of my favorite games of the year. Yes, and people
<v Speaker 4>just were like, I.
<v Speaker 3>Just didn't enjoy anything things I was doing.
<v Speaker 8>I just feel like there wasn't a lot of depth
<v Speaker 8>to like there were ideas there that like I love
<v Speaker 8>the two D three D stuff. I love the idea
<v Speaker 8>of like, oh, we can do this thing where we
<v Speaker 8>grab this word and throw it, and then I feel
<v Speaker 8>like it never really it felt it was just very like, okay, yeah,
<v Speaker 8>the most by the hand, the camera is going to show.
<v Speaker 1>Exactly where to go. Yeah, everything moves kind of slow.
<v Speaker 8>There's more talking than you'd expect. I thought this was
<v Speaker 8>going to be like a Zelda type with some challenge
<v Speaker 8>and twists and puzzles, but everything like, oh, well, here's
<v Speaker 8>clearly what you do, and I feel like I'm just
<v Speaker 8>painting color by numbers, you know.
<v Speaker 1>That was just kind of bored.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.
<v Speaker 14>I think I went into it not expecting a like
<v Speaker 14>Nintendo level kind of Zelda style game or a Mario
<v Speaker 14>style game. I just went in there thinking I was
<v Speaker 14>going to be a charming little storybook thing all running
<v Speaker 14>around and.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that would have helped.
<v Speaker 5>I definitely thought this game was going to be for me,
<v Speaker 5>and it's maybe this year maybe the game that was
<v Speaker 5>surprising that it was the most not for me.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, me too. It was going to be very
<v Speaker 1>for me.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think we can cut stock her too, because
<v Speaker 2>I have a lot of interest in eventually checking.
<v Speaker 3>It's not for me, it's my kind of bullshit, so
<v Speaker 3>I'm like ready for it.
<v Speaker 12>It's just I'm just not interested in the jank. Wasn't
<v Speaker 12>having I'm going to wait really fun time playing it.
<v Speaker 12>I wasn't even it was a bit buggy for me.
<v Speaker 12>It wasn't that buggy, but it was just like, I
<v Speaker 12>don't know, I I think I would get too. I
<v Speaker 12>was getting too distracted because it's so slow and it's arduous,
<v Speaker 12>and I think it's not me because I'm not in
<v Speaker 12>a place right now where I want that.
<v Speaker 7>I need something that's going to be more engaging, and
<v Speaker 7>so it's not for me.
<v Speaker 8>I feel like that's setting of just that kind of
<v Speaker 8>like you know, Metro style apocalypse, Like I just find
<v Speaker 8>that you have.
<v Speaker 4>To have a high tolerance for games that are trying
<v Speaker 4>to push you away.
<v Speaker 3>And that's what that game that's my patient, like a
<v Speaker 3>game back on it.
<v Speaker 4>It's an uphill struggle.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's like the opposite of an astro we missed.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the most impressive. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so it's staying.
<v Speaker 8>Seem like people have interested in it, so I think
<v Speaker 8>we take it, yeah.
<v Speaker 4>Lose it.
<v Speaker 2>I think we can also cut Lego Horizon Adventures, mostly
<v Speaker 2>because I also don't know.
<v Speaker 1>Who it is for right, It's like it.
<v Speaker 7>Taste game of the year is not that game?
<v Speaker 1>What's the game of the year? Did did a list?
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you guys know this.
<v Speaker 4>Wrote an entire list. There's I think there's not a right.
<v Speaker 7>Giant free line assignment. You gave him a free lens assignment.
<v Speaker 4>You know, he was he wanted to do it, and
<v Speaker 4>he said he's like I can type it up.
<v Speaker 18>It sounds like he's on the puff to wanting to
<v Speaker 18>be a game journalist. He's not, you know, criminal only insane.
<v Speaker 18>But no, it's on that list, but it's not his best.
<v Speaker 3>Walk a game of the We could drop Lego then
<v Speaker 3>probably Okay, Uh, some of did.
<v Speaker 1>Some of us like Dragon Age the Veil Guard sign with.
<v Speaker 9>It, only I haven't played it because I'm waiting for
<v Speaker 9>to have time to play it.
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I finished it.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, this might be a mood.
<v Speaker 12>I think it's I was going to say, I think
<v Speaker 12>the one I was surprised at some of the schools.
<v Speaker 7>I was very surprised at the Game of the Year thing.
<v Speaker 7>So that's why I put it on the list. I
<v Speaker 7>think it's it's appointing.
<v Speaker 1>I think my expectations for.
<v Speaker 4>And it was like, I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>I was a little shocked in some of the directions
<v Speaker 1>they went. It's the scope of it.
<v Speaker 3>I heard good things and then now I'm hearing mid previly.
<v Speaker 4>Well it starts.
<v Speaker 14>It starts very strong, yes, okay, and then I think
<v Speaker 14>the issue is that you're always waiting for yourself to
<v Speaker 14>build that bio or attachment and it never comes, but
<v Speaker 14>you're constantly you feel like it's almost there.
<v Speaker 4>It's one of the most frustrating.
<v Speaker 14>Games because you talk to a character and you have
<v Speaker 14>a conversation, You're like, you almost said something meaningful there,
<v Speaker 14>but I didn't do.
<v Speaker 16>It's not a great cast, right, It's not like the
<v Speaker 16>best set of companions. That's something that helps metaphor out
<v Speaker 16>so much is how the opinions are.
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean I also the development of it rough
<v Speaker 7>free period.
<v Speaker 12>You can tell there are ideas that are not fully realized,
<v Speaker 12>and there are certainly characters that are not fully like
<v Speaker 12>Lucanis has a demon inside him.
<v Speaker 4>And that that never goes anymore does it.
<v Speaker 9>Are there points of it that feel like vestiges of
<v Speaker 9>the previous game that they the previous version of the
<v Speaker 9>game that they were like the.
<v Speaker 4>Lot Economy, Yeah, chunks of it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 12>So it was meant to be a live service game,
<v Speaker 12>and it has so many things of armor. I have
<v Speaker 12>so many weapons, different colors, you can like change the
<v Speaker 12>appearance and color and everything. I'm just like this is
<v Speaker 12>too much, too over and like the skill point, the
<v Speaker 12>skill tree, it's so weird. Yeah, it's like that's where
<v Speaker 12>so much of the investment has gone because the actual.
<v Speaker 7>Role playing in it is not there.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I feel like like you are I'm paraphrasing Ralph
<v Speaker 12>from Skill up here, but it's You're not Paragne Renegade
<v Speaker 12>Middle of the Road. You are three versions of the
<v Speaker 12>same Quippi guy.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.
<v Speaker 7>Even even the mean responses are not mean.
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, this is going to be like a very sound
<v Speaker 14>like a really backhanded compliment, but I genuinely mean it.
<v Speaker 4>I think it's a very good restitching job, if you
<v Speaker 4>know what I mean. There's pieces of that game it
<v Speaker 4>clearly fell apart.
<v Speaker 14>Many times when I think about that and see the
<v Speaker 14>game in front of me, I find it very impressive
<v Speaker 14>that they were able to take those pieces and put
<v Speaker 14>together a game that looks really nice functions in a
<v Speaker 14>lot of ways. I guarantee that that must have been
<v Speaker 14>a nightmare for that studio, and the thing that came
<v Speaker 14>out of it from a development, design and execution perspective
<v Speaker 14>is very impressive. It's just the thing itself is not.
<v Speaker 14>It doesn't have the heart and soul. That's because it's
<v Speaker 14>a camera of different things. There's no one soul in it.
<v Speaker 5>This category kind of is the spiritual successor the most disappointing.
<v Speaker 5>Do we want to kind of keep this on here.
<v Speaker 3>For that reason or.
<v Speaker 12>I think it's fine to go because I think a
<v Speaker 12>lot of people did really like it. But then there
<v Speaker 12>was this swell of the game came out and all
<v Speaker 12>the hardcore Dragon Age fans like, don't go on the
<v Speaker 12>sub Breddit because oh god, yeah.
<v Speaker 4>Maybe preview so well, yeah, it previews.
<v Speaker 14>So I gave it a very positive preview because the
<v Speaker 14>areas we played were and it's a classic preview thing.
<v Speaker 14>It always happens when you play different slices of a game.
<v Speaker 14>And I played different three different slices of the game,
<v Speaker 14>and I previewed it and I was like, oh, this
<v Speaker 14>has got it's got the potential to do.
<v Speaker 4>What's going on behind me? No, I'm trying to understand, Mike.
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry me, What did I do?
<v Speaker 4>Nothing? You're beautiful boy.
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.
<v Speaker 14>It priving really well and I had high hopes for it,
<v Speaker 14>which is why I'm like quite disappointed about what it became.
<v Speaker 14>But again, like it's it's not a major disappointment for
<v Speaker 14>a boy's winning game of sounds.
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a very pretty game.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, I think I, like a lot of a
<v Speaker 2>thousand extra resists that we can cut it, yeah, because
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it resonates with me on.
<v Speaker 1>Two people like Lucky Squire.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean I like it enough.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Yeah, I feel I think I'm a growth cutting
<v Speaker 5>one that was resists because I think it's not for me.
<v Speaker 3>And yet when I was playing I'm like, I think
<v Speaker 3>I might be fine with this.
<v Speaker 10>Actually, I feels like there's enough appreciation for the game.
<v Speaker 4>At least I enjoyed it. I am eager to play more.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and I feel like that said the quote from
<v Speaker 8>giant Bomb on the review page on the team is
<v Speaker 8>not from Giant Bomb.
<v Speaker 1>They just lied about that.
<v Speaker 4>Really.
<v Speaker 8>Giant Bomb says a thing that was from not any
<v Speaker 8>of our lists. I will look into that little stuff.
<v Speaker 4>Ok, that's a good top three.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it seems like two is the one that didn't
<v Speaker 1>have any defenders. Yeah, I went back and beat the game.
<v Speaker 1>Why he did the nine nine nine thing come on?
<v Speaker 1>Like problems? Yes, I get it.
<v Speaker 2>Uh, And just because I was thinking, like, there's so
<v Speaker 2>many people talking about and there's been so much hype
<v Speaker 2>leading up to this that like there has to be
<v Speaker 2>something at the very end of it. And just yeah,
<v Speaker 2>you were just repeating the same thing. You all remember
<v Speaker 2>that one iPad like medieval.
<v Speaker 4>Game like yeah.
<v Speaker 3>Video everyone, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it felt like that.
<v Speaker 4>Like phone memories of playing.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, this is the type of game that will like
<v Speaker 8>really impress people who don't play games.
<v Speaker 1>It's just because wow, it looks really cool.
<v Speaker 8>It's a video game that's talking about mental health and
<v Speaker 8>stuff and doesn't really know how to actually talk about
<v Speaker 8>video games.
<v Speaker 4>And ado game for television.
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, I tried so hard to I was not enjoying
<v Speaker 14>it so much that I tried to recontextualize how I
<v Speaker 14>was playing it to see if it works. Like I
<v Speaker 14>started playing it on streaming via Xbox on a laptop
<v Speaker 14>while I was watching TV, to be like, maybe I.
<v Speaker 4>Can have fun this way. And it was annoying. Even
<v Speaker 4>though I wasn't paying any attention to it, it was
<v Speaker 4>pissing me off. Just crazy. It's like every scenario played
<v Speaker 4>it and I was like frustrated by it.
<v Speaker 3>I think I was like climbing up those rocks and I.
<v Speaker 5>Thought it was a cut scene because I was like, oh,
<v Speaker 5>it's a cut scene.
<v Speaker 4>I let go and then she stopped moving and I.
<v Speaker 1>Was like, what the fuck.
<v Speaker 4>Is not for me?
<v Speaker 14>Like matching symbols, mechanics, like it's cute. It was cute
<v Speaker 14>the first time. That is like, it's the most offensive
<v Speaker 14>way to put gameplay into a game. It's like, how
<v Speaker 14>do we make this feel like a game? Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 14>it's got movement, but we need something game just to
<v Speaker 14>get it over into the game category and it's like
<v Speaker 14>match these symbols and.
<v Speaker 1>Stuff when they do that over and over again. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>so frustrating puzzle. Yeah. The audio design it's cool.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.
<v Speaker 14>Also I'm getting to a point of like being kind
<v Speaker 14>of unkind to it. But I just want to say
<v Speaker 14>it that that studio I don't I really.
<v Speaker 4>Don't like that. This is the game, this is how
<v Speaker 4>it's it's what it's like. Nature theory is like love, Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Love and I they may and are if they may
<v Speaker 1>in are DMC.
<v Speaker 4>Like you want rest and enslave to. I have to
<v Speaker 4>believe that there was some hands tied to make this
<v Speaker 4>game happen because it's.
<v Speaker 7>Just because it's their performance capture tech.
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, exactly, the real which is incredible. And I worry
<v Speaker 14>about that studio because I went there a few times.
<v Speaker 14>I spoke to a bunch of people a few times,
<v Speaker 14>and the thing I always took away from them, the
<v Speaker 14>heart and soul of that studio, was they.
<v Speaker 4>Would take.
<v Speaker 14>No no, no, no no, they take They take the
<v Speaker 14>meager equipment that they have and makes incredible things happen.
<v Speaker 1>Like hew blay.
<v Speaker 14>The first game was an achievement because they didn't have
<v Speaker 14>any of the specialist technology that people used to do
<v Speaker 14>that stuff. They just rigged cameras and Molina was like
<v Speaker 14>a video editor that they used as a an actor,
<v Speaker 14>and that was like, that is the soul of their games.
<v Speaker 14>And now they're backed by a billion dollar corporation and
<v Speaker 14>I'm just like, I don't do this even.
<v Speaker 1>I want to say this.
<v Speaker 11>It feels like joker too. I thought that was.
<v Speaker 3>Did you see that too? Yes, I bet my phone
<v Speaker 3>to watch on the.
<v Speaker 1>I really want to say, like, I like musicals and
<v Speaker 1>it is not one of those.
<v Speaker 4>See Coogan is a joker too. What is your not
<v Speaker 4>come going or something? Thanks? I just do want to say,
<v Speaker 4>like I said a lot of negative things.
<v Speaker 1>I still have fleting at that studio.
<v Speaker 4>I believe. I think the meme left.
<v Speaker 14>But there's a whole bunch of people that I know
<v Speaker 14>there have spoken to that know how to make games,
<v Speaker 14>love how love making games, and love playing games, and.
<v Speaker 4>I hope that they get to be who they are again.
<v Speaker 6>What is Andy Circus's involvement in that studio in the Imaginarium, Yeah,
<v Speaker 6>he was the guy enslaved as all.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah he was.
<v Speaker 12>I think he maybe performance directed it, but he definitely
<v Speaker 12>was played monkey performance captured him.
<v Speaker 7>Alex Goland wrote that one, Yeah, I don't think he
<v Speaker 7>was involved in hel Blade.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would love to see them on deshackled from ye.
<v Speaker 4>I really hope that this is the I mean, you're
<v Speaker 4>a bad game expect. I really hope that helped Blade
<v Speaker 4>goes away.
<v Speaker 1>There are a lot of people out there that do
<v Speaker 1>enjoy Hillblay too. Oh yeah, there very many are. Again,
<v Speaker 1>do we know anyone?
<v Speaker 11>Later?
<v Speaker 2>The Horizon presents game that's most not for us winner
<v Speaker 2>hell Blay two sending was Sacrifice, the Pluck Is Choir
<v Speaker 2>and Dragon's Dog, but two as the runner ups Runners Ups,
<v Speaker 2>Runners Runners, Enters, Up Ups Runners.
<v Speaker 4>Now we have the.
<v Speaker 2>Second last category of the day, hit Man presents game
<v Speaker 2>that's most for us.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah tough.
<v Speaker 4>I always not involved in this in any capacity. I
<v Speaker 4>mean like, I mean like they're not endorsing this awarder
<v Speaker 4>those Horizon did endorse the.
<v Speaker 1>Goose. We really like the leaf Blower. You have to
<v Speaker 1>put leg Horizon in.
<v Speaker 2>The nominees are Nintendo World Championships, Astrobot Point, Nova Yards, Revenge,
<v Speaker 2>Mini Shoot Adventures, Balatro, Pokemon TCGP, Indiana Jones In the
<v Speaker 2>Great Circle, Rise of the Golden Idol, I'm sure there's
<v Speaker 2>more titles.
<v Speaker 4>That may not lower line. Yeah. Yeah.
<v Speaker 8>I want to make a note here that if Nintendo
<v Speaker 8>World Championships had been the game we expected it would be,
<v Speaker 8>then a lot of people on like like four or
<v Speaker 8>five of us.
<v Speaker 1>I know for sure it's super up our.
<v Speaker 8>Early and why don't we still have fun with it?
<v Speaker 5>So if it was that game, it would be, it
<v Speaker 5>would winning awards, it would be in the Game of
<v Speaker 5>the Year category, it would like absolutely so I still
<v Speaker 5>had a ton of fun with it, played a lot
<v Speaker 5>of a lot of it.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so I think it's still.
<v Speaker 1>Very much for me.
<v Speaker 8>I mean, it's that leaderword thing is such a stupid
<v Speaker 8>move that, like, I don't I liked it, But I don't.
<v Speaker 1>Say, oh, this is super for me.
<v Speaker 16>If they think that, yeah, it's a little disappoint it's
<v Speaker 16>not very disappointing. I still enjoyed the game, had a
<v Speaker 16>lot of fun with it, but disapplying enough. Plus there's
<v Speaker 16>enough people here who also don't care at all. I
<v Speaker 16>think about that scramble. Yeah, I understandably, and I.
<v Speaker 5>Probably would try to get on the top three without
<v Speaker 5>you guys, there's no chance.
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, let's cut it, Okay, I'm going to have
<v Speaker 3>you fifty.
<v Speaker 1>But I know it's not for everyone here. But there's
<v Speaker 1>a freaking games. Yeah, there's there's two games. I really
<v Speaker 1>like Party Party, Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>Mortal Mortal.
<v Speaker 1>I's one of the v just jumping up constantly like
<v Speaker 1>something griss like Belgress. It's like good goodle jump yep, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>good doodles, right, okay, a doodle jump on you.
<v Speaker 4>I'm kind of trying to figure out, like is this
<v Speaker 4>for how much it is for us as a team
<v Speaker 4>or how much it is for a team like individual people.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, like coming I would be like, yeah, that
<v Speaker 3>sounds like a game the crew of.
<v Speaker 4>A giant bomb would like, yeah, the.
<v Speaker 1>Most it's not going to be yeah yeah.
<v Speaker 14>Because my I was gonna point like there is no
<v Speaker 14>game that's more for me than Solar either, like right,
<v Speaker 14>you know what I mean? Like it it feels like
<v Speaker 14>it's crazy because I've been bitching and moaning for the lost,
<v Speaker 14>I think.
<v Speaker 11>That it's valid to put on them.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I also added.
<v Speaker 2>Content warning yeah yeah, I go call yeah, just because
<v Speaker 2>other than being like a fantastic game to stream, I
<v Speaker 2>feel like it's uniquely geared towards us being like dumb.
<v Speaker 8>How many people were anywhere near my enthusiasm for many shoots, and.
<v Speaker 5>I really wanted to get it'll be on my time.
<v Speaker 1>There's so many that's like me grew up in. I know.
<v Speaker 1>I wonder why that's weird. We have some similar tastes.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's also a very good game. It was great.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, So I wonder if that's not if it's just
<v Speaker 8>three of us that care about it.
<v Speaker 11>I think that doesn't.
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it makes yeah, but.
<v Speaker 3>Then again, this is when I feel very strong.
<v Speaker 1>It'll be like yeah, but.
<v Speaker 4>I guess sorry, Yeah, what istro it's Joker.
<v Speaker 7>It's more like poker too.
<v Speaker 4>I do you want to lock in the winner first?
<v Speaker 7>In John Jones astro, Well, is there a game that.
<v Speaker 1>Didn't that's that's gonna be like that? And that's for everybody.
<v Speaker 7>So I don't, but I mean that his hit mine
<v Speaker 7>presents Indian Jones.
<v Speaker 8>If there's any game on this list that every one
<v Speaker 8>of us raises our hand for as far as being
<v Speaker 8>like at least like this would be an eight plus
<v Speaker 8>for us, you.
<v Speaker 1>Know, Okay, and.
<v Speaker 5>The repeat of Game of the Year, it's all yeah, yeah, Afterrobot,
<v Speaker 5>that's actually unanimous that everyone.
<v Speaker 14>Because it's like it hits as a game, it's good,
<v Speaker 14>but also it leverages years of a nostalgia and familiarity.
<v Speaker 4>It's like it is individually hitting each one of us.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so many like bots that popped each of us
<v Speaker 2>individually exactly in a different way.
<v Speaker 11>I mean, let me say this, let me put it
<v Speaker 11>this way.
<v Speaker 10>I thought Blatro is like a clear and instant winner
<v Speaker 10>because that's people associate that game with us even.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and like because I'm like ambling problem, Yeah, that's
<v Speaker 2>unique to us.
<v Speaker 14>Like the only way astrobot could be more like us
<v Speaker 14>is if they put a blotro.
<v Speaker 4>That's the limit where.
<v Speaker 1>It's put us in. Blatro bought of me but as
<v Speaker 1>a cake there.
<v Speaker 10>That's one where I was trying to get at though,
<v Speaker 10>Like astrobis so yeah, everyone loves as everyone, whereas Blatro
<v Speaker 10>may actually not hit with some people.
<v Speaker 1>All of us.
<v Speaker 16>Are probably both locks and they probably need to figure
<v Speaker 16>out Like right, yeah that one, no doubt it's going
<v Speaker 16>to be for me.
<v Speaker 11>I just let's maybe cut some more.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah yours, Yes, that was very much for me.
<v Speaker 5>And I'm like, when if it this category was just
<v Speaker 5>me picking one, I'd be like that was kind of
<v Speaker 5>my ship in a really surprising way.
<v Speaker 2>But like if yours revenge is so much like all
<v Speaker 2>consuming of you grub but it's yeah.
<v Speaker 5>It's not like I never really I like yours revenge,
<v Speaker 5>but yours rising is not.
<v Speaker 4>Going to make this list.
<v Speaker 8>Ideally, we have three up top that are literally unanimous,
<v Speaker 8>and I can just say straight up that Pokemon is
<v Speaker 8>not my thing at all.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I get that.
<v Speaker 2>There's also not enough in Pokemon, like the actually battling
<v Speaker 2>for describing that as a game is kind of rich.
<v Speaker 8>Similarly, I would say UF fifty, Nikki, I know at
<v Speaker 8>least you were not.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, mothers were not. Okay, I liked it. I think
<v Speaker 1>it's great, but I know Nicky was a sprinter that's
<v Speaker 1>already not you know you.
<v Speaker 7>I was going to say Rise of the Golden Idol
<v Speaker 7>like don you and I would.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that, yes, yeah, forever.
<v Speaker 16>Let's let's cut UFO, let's cut rise. Now we're trying
<v Speaker 16>to cut I'm sorry added something, but Prince of Person.
<v Speaker 1>I think it's between blantro and that that was so okay, fantastic.
<v Speaker 10>We did that podcast where we were all there actually
<v Speaker 10>and we were all just gushing about that.
<v Speaker 1>Actually, that might be the.
<v Speaker 8>Three yeah, legacy very interested, not gonna.
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, I'm going to cut it because obviously it's just
<v Speaker 14>very specifically.
<v Speaker 2>It was like, right, I think as a team. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>content Warning got its flowers.
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, yeah, this is true, Laura.
<v Speaker 1>I think it's really cool, but it was just a
<v Speaker 1>bit much for me.
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, and that was just not for me.
<v Speaker 16>So yeah, I like that Go Point Nova quite a bit,
<v Speaker 16>you know, not something I'm thinking about constantly.
<v Speaker 1>Personal.
<v Speaker 8>Same same when I played BUM, but it doesn't stick
<v Speaker 8>with me.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is a hard.
<v Speaker 2>So Okay, I'm one of the people that have not
<v Speaker 2>played Indiana Jones in.
<v Speaker 1>The Great Circle.
<v Speaker 2>But everything I've heard you'll say, I feel I can
<v Speaker 2>be up my alley because I love punching people.
<v Speaker 5>I played all these games. I really like all these games.
<v Speaker 5>I think there's a strong chance all of them end
<v Speaker 5>up at my top ten, which I have not finalized yet.
<v Speaker 5>Got say that a lot of games are all high.
<v Speaker 5>I would feel the most comfortable cutting Indy.
<v Speaker 11>Play.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, plad Indiana Jones.
<v Speaker 8>Well, a lot of people hear oh you're saying.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I think I haven't played.
<v Speaker 5>Even even if it was just up to me, that's
<v Speaker 5>the one I would cut. So yeah, okay, okay, yeah,
<v Speaker 5>then yeah, I think that's.
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, okay, oh boysia really yes.
<v Speaker 5>It's like this is the category like Astrobots for everybody
<v Speaker 5>is like like nominated for the game Award, Like this
<v Speaker 5>is where it gets its flowers.
<v Speaker 3>It's not going to get it anywhere else.
<v Speaker 14>I feel like if I was asked to champion one
<v Speaker 14>of these games, I would go Prince of Pleasure.
<v Speaker 8>Everyone loves like outside of this, but like we are
<v Speaker 8>really championing this thing.
<v Speaker 2>Is that this is for us, Like hey, remember this
<v Speaker 2>game exists, and I feel like this site has a
<v Speaker 2>fascination with Metroid Vanas and this is like the best Venia.
<v Speaker 16>It kind of came out of nowhere, like oh that's cute,
<v Speaker 16>you're gonna make prints of Persia Metro Venion whatever.
<v Speaker 1>Then it's like one of the best. Yeah, I remember
<v Speaker 1>was it SUF last year?
<v Speaker 11>Some of you all got to check.
<v Speaker 3>And I was like Rock, Mike, were you playing with me? Topic?
<v Speaker 5>And we were all like racing against each other like immediately,
<v Speaker 5>and even like like I know you.
<v Speaker 4>Don't play you love this one?
<v Speaker 1>What I said about it?
<v Speaker 16>Then, I think it's kind of my go to for
<v Speaker 16>explaining why it's good is that it's a triple threat
<v Speaker 16>for me, Vanas It's got the combat, it's got the traversal,
<v Speaker 16>and it's got the exploration. Three things that you want working,
<v Speaker 16>and some of them sort of favor more than others.
<v Speaker 16>This one's got all of those working, so well.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it wins.
<v Speaker 1>It wins, so glad I remember to put it on congratulation?
<v Speaker 1>Did so weird?
<v Speaker 4>How easy that wanted to be?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's the right answer. When you like something you like,
<v Speaker 1>so's the answer is correct. It feels Yeah, it fits.
<v Speaker 1>We found the Crown? Yeah, all of us?
<v Speaker 2>All right, man presents game that's most for us, Principerge
<v Speaker 2>of the Lost Crown Taken the Crown, followed by Astrobot
<v Speaker 2>and blocktro all right, folks, we're moving at a steady pace.
<v Speaker 3>Uh.
<v Speaker 1>Leaf blow over the Year.
<v Speaker 2>Another surprise category nominees are the one at the studio
<v Speaker 2>we did SGF at dance and then the one back
<v Speaker 2>of our saw outside the fig this morning.
<v Speaker 1>MIC's ass on a pillow. I think.
<v Speaker 4>It counts as a leaf blower.
<v Speaker 1>It counts. It's not a blue sometimes. I don't know
<v Speaker 1>if I've ever ruffled a leaf of my ass.
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, the gust of wind from when Bacala with that
<v Speaker 12>high five.
<v Speaker 8>Leaves in the studio would be a tornado.
<v Speaker 1>It was like a little typhoon.
<v Speaker 4>It was wicked tornado this morning.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, my mind's good. That's really good. It was cheap
<v Speaker 8>and it charges and it's electric, so I just go
<v Speaker 8>out there. It's wireless. It's got like a lock, so
<v Speaker 8>it's like I pulled the trigger. I turned the lock
<v Speaker 8>on and then I don't have to hold the trigger.
<v Speaker 4>I can just Yeah, this is a little basic functionality.
<v Speaker 8>Actually no, I used the SGF one too.
<v Speaker 1>But can you use a leaf blower in the woodpeckers?
<v Speaker 2>That feels like a federal Okay, they have wings.
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.
<v Speaker 14>I don't think what she feels like if the woodpecker
<v Speaker 14>isn't surviving.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't think it was problem about Harley Quinn.
<v Speaker 1>Her girlfriend is right, Yeah, yeah, brother, Oh my god,
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty good.
<v Speaker 4>God, it's pretty good guessing. I want to guess. I
<v Speaker 4>want to guess.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, does she know someone named leaf no poison ivy. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>the blowing part.
<v Speaker 4>Of it's a stretch.
<v Speaker 3>It's a stretch.
<v Speaker 19>But bye, Lucy, Harley quinnen and poison every now and
<v Speaker 19>then I think the category actually goes to the one
<v Speaker 19>at the studio.
<v Speaker 1>We did it really started the movement. They're rid of mine.
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of crap.
<v Speaker 1>Be okay, did you know that? I think Backlar has
<v Speaker 1>missed high five. I've been reading Second Yes, I read
<v Speaker 1>a lot of Bad Man, but I haven't seen them
<v Speaker 1>like you do, and.
<v Speaker 4>Stuff reading Harley quin and Ivy the series that they
<v Speaker 4>have to go their own.
<v Speaker 16>It's their own season five starting TV show the cartoon
<v Speaker 16>Harley Quinn.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I want to watch that. It's on Max Watch bunch. Uh.
<v Speaker 16>I got so much joy out of watching everybody slowly realize.
<v Speaker 1>What I was.
<v Speaker 4>I still don't get.
<v Speaker 1>It. I got the one outside there this morning.
<v Speaker 4>Cool, it was cool.
<v Speaker 1>It was legit.
<v Speaker 4>I know what the electric one.
<v Speaker 14>But like you, I feel like Dan confidently and excitedly
<v Speaker 14>using a leaf blower is a unique thing. Yeah, And
<v Speaker 14>the fact that he has such familiarity and expertise with
<v Speaker 14>that leaf blower means that it's probably pretty good.
<v Speaker 4>And this other being him, Yeah, it's just funny to
<v Speaker 4>me that you were like, this is the thing I
<v Speaker 4>need to do like a leaf.
<v Speaker 8>I feel like that kind of leaves that fall on
<v Speaker 8>the of the deck.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, good for you.
<v Speaker 8>I have the landscape recu the front because it's too big,
<v Speaker 8>but I can do the deck.
<v Speaker 1>Well. Also, you don't want them to die on it,
<v Speaker 1>and that would probably be like a liability.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, okay, all right. Leaf Blower of the Year,
<v Speaker 2>the one at the studio we did SGFF.
<v Speaker 8>Which one there were two, the big one, both of them,
<v Speaker 8>there were two, big.
<v Speaker 2>Boy, Yeah, yeah, boy, okay, Backlars.
<v Speaker 1>Miss Tie five and Dance. All right, fantastic.
<v Speaker 4>I believe this is the last category of.
<v Speaker 1>Day three, folks.
<v Speaker 2>We have Mini Game of the Year. Nominees are Don
<v Speaker 2>Doco Island. Sorry, well, well that's you know. That was
<v Speaker 2>a somersaulted Blood. Oh no, Queen's Blood from Final Fantasy
<v Speaker 2>seven Rebirth, Prime Cut, the state game for Mario, Party,
<v Speaker 2>Crazy Taxi Pizza from Infinite Wealth, June On Parade from
<v Speaker 2>Final Fantasy seven Rebirth, as well as The Pirate Shooting
<v Speaker 2>Gallery and Fort Condo Or as well as to Ken
<v Speaker 2>Ball from to Ken eight and Sabak from Star Wars
<v Speaker 2>out Laws.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it was a good year for many games.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, okay. The one I wonder about here is like,
<v Speaker 8>I love Don Doko Island I played the ship out
<v Speaker 8>of it, but that almost feels like two big games.
<v Speaker 4>How many is it hours? A long?
<v Speaker 3>But relative the rest of the game, it is a
<v Speaker 3>mini game inside of it. But do we want to
<v Speaker 3>like call it something else.
<v Speaker 4>It's also like a core part of the game. Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 4>you have to do it for a while.
<v Speaker 5>Yes, yeah, you have to do a lot of the
<v Speaker 5>mini games like the Crazy Taxi Pizza.
<v Speaker 1>At least it's.
<v Speaker 14>Beyond like I feel like with Queens but might be right.
<v Speaker 14>It's an introduction. You have a small segment where you
<v Speaker 14>have to do it, and then you move on. You
<v Speaker 14>can never play Queens Blood again.
<v Speaker 3>Doko.
<v Speaker 4>You have to do for well for a while, and
<v Speaker 4>if there's hours.
<v Speaker 14>Maybe there's times where you have to go back and
<v Speaker 14>do it if you need money and that kind of stuff.
<v Speaker 14>So it feels a little more compulsory than all of
<v Speaker 14>the others on hen I feel like.
<v Speaker 8>Don Doko they could have released it as like a
<v Speaker 8>fifteen dollars standalone download game, and yeah, it's like a
<v Speaker 8>full game in its own right.
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, it's just like it's such a technical Kelly,
<v Speaker 5>it's kind of a bad reason to get rid of it.
<v Speaker 1>But I love it.
<v Speaker 10>I would argue that you do mini games within Don
<v Speaker 10>Doco Island.
<v Speaker 2>That's over right, there's media games, Okay, all right, it's
<v Speaker 2>like a KFC double desk.
<v Speaker 4>I'm surprised there's nothing from UFO fifty.
<v Speaker 1>It's like fifty games. Those are all.
<v Speaker 4>Actually I didn't play it.
<v Speaker 1>I know I'm supposed to.
<v Speaker 14>I feel like I want to advocate for Queen's Blood
<v Speaker 14>and Queen's Blood is is incredible.
<v Speaker 1>Queen's Blood blood a lot? Is it just the best?
<v Speaker 11>Like card game and that's just amazing.
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, because they had such a hill to overcome there,
<v Speaker 16>because every every time you do a new mini game,
<v Speaker 16>let alone card game of foun Fantasy, the fun Fantasy
<v Speaker 16>fans will be like, well, why didn't they just do
<v Speaker 16>triple tryad It's here they did something new and everyone
<v Speaker 16>was actually like, oh, this is better.
<v Speaker 1>Rule is great.
<v Speaker 10>Like so many people have said I want physical Queen's Blood,
<v Speaker 10>yet they have it one exhibit.
<v Speaker 1>They like that quest line like goes kind of weird
<v Speaker 1>fun fases.
<v Speaker 8>That course line involves like the dog being a person
<v Speaker 8>and stuff.
<v Speaker 1>There's a there's that part on the boat and then
<v Speaker 1>there's geckos.
<v Speaker 8>And other Michael Jackson dance or something.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it looks like that. Excuse me is good though, I'm.
<v Speaker 3>Gonna get a T shirt with cheddar Chet.
<v Speaker 2>There's so much hype with Queen's Blood. I really did
<v Speaker 2>not like any of these other mini games in Rebirth.
<v Speaker 8>No, that was my favorite bart of Rebirth. With the
<v Speaker 8>mini games, I'm.
<v Speaker 16>A minigame defender if I'm fifty seven. Like, even when
<v Speaker 16>they're dumb, I think that adds to the experience.
<v Speaker 11>But it's part of Final Fantasy seven.
<v Speaker 1>But none of them as good as Queen's Blood.
<v Speaker 16>Absolutely, But you know, the june On Parade is just
<v Speaker 16>so silly and a fun twist on a rhythm game.
<v Speaker 16>It's really stupid how they just all suddenly know these
<v Speaker 16>very like things.
<v Speaker 1>That they have to do.
<v Speaker 11>It's just a fun way to meet people in an
<v Speaker 11>open world.
<v Speaker 4>Like I didn't.
<v Speaker 10>I didn't love the open world of Rebirth, but it
<v Speaker 10>was a fun excuse for me to go to places
<v Speaker 10>I ain't gone to you because I was like, I
<v Speaker 10>want to see who I am challenge here, and you
<v Speaker 10>need to wile this character.
<v Speaker 8>Every time I got to a new area and I
<v Speaker 8>would see that icon and the queens, it was the
<v Speaker 8>first thing I did in every town in the area.
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go beat everyone here. Our shooting gallery
<v Speaker 1>is fun but kind of simple.
<v Speaker 16>It can go for condor it's will that they just
<v Speaker 16>you know, put in a clash royal or whatever and
<v Speaker 16>there you know, it's it's pretty good.
<v Speaker 11>It's also not unique to rebirth though.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, what's tech and ball?
<v Speaker 10>Oh tell you a volleyball, but you hit it because you're.
<v Speaker 1>A tech in person roundhouse kicking a beach ball.
<v Speaker 3>And sometimes it's also not unique to take an age.
<v Speaker 10>But what's cool about is that's an old one that
<v Speaker 10>people are from way back.
<v Speaker 11>Gut tacking three. I really brought back it made it
<v Speaker 11>even better, Okay.
<v Speaker 10>And it has sometimes like funny physics where it will
<v Speaker 10>sort of be like hitting a balloon. Sometimes it's like
<v Speaker 10>I'm gonna do this really strong move, It's like, no,
<v Speaker 10>the programmed so that move actually doesn't hit it?
<v Speaker 11>Okay, how do you think it will? It's it's very fun.
<v Speaker 1>That's cool. Is great. I thought it was fun. Is fun.
<v Speaker 3>It's not as good as Queen's Blood.
<v Speaker 1>It's a different vibe though, sure, poor casino game less
<v Speaker 1>you know, collectible card game.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, fair, Yes, yeah, I listen. I would love to
<v Speaker 5>maybe seeing.
<v Speaker 1>They could hang out, okay, And I love I do
<v Speaker 1>love that vibe.
<v Speaker 16>I like this even in the Red Dead Redemptions of
<v Speaker 16>like actually sitting at a table some other you know,
<v Speaker 16>random weirdos that I don't know, we're all actually you know,
<v Speaker 16>staying like I'm really playing this game with them. The
<v Speaker 16>vibes of it are a lot of fun. We hear
<v Speaker 16>about Sabach and the shows all the time and the movies.
<v Speaker 1>That's like got the millennium falcons right, and.
<v Speaker 5>It's it's it's like often different in all the extended media.
<v Speaker 5>So but they do a pretty good job of like
<v Speaker 5>keeping most of the like what what you read about
<v Speaker 5>or what you've seen in some of the media in
<v Speaker 5>this version of the game.
<v Speaker 16>And they work in the whole scoundrel thing because you
<v Speaker 16>can use your little pet to help cheat for you
<v Speaker 16>little it's actually some of the coolest risk of Award things.
<v Speaker 16>There's also quest lines to help you find the high
<v Speaker 16>Stakes table.
<v Speaker 1>And stuff like that.
<v Speaker 4>So they incorporated into the game in a really smart way.
<v Speaker 4>It makes it feel like part of the world in
<v Speaker 4>the strong that's way.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we had a last minute edition elevator death trivia
<v Speaker 2>from Silent Hill too.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, wasn't that nuts?
<v Speaker 1>That was wild? Isn't that the most nutty? I don't
<v Speaker 1>remember that being in the originals. I can't remember.
<v Speaker 4>I think it was.
<v Speaker 1>It was.
<v Speaker 4>It's so out, it's so weird. Yeah, you're like, why
<v Speaker 4>is this happening?
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't make sense or fall in line with anything
<v Speaker 1>else that's going tonally. It's just so like total whiplash.
<v Speaker 4>It's it's it's absolutely whiplash.
<v Speaker 6>You hear the trivia questions and then like the elevator
<v Speaker 6>opens and it doesn't even like direct you to like
<v Speaker 6>where you can answer those things. You have to then
<v Speaker 6>find this weird ornate bejeweled, the cash register box that's
<v Speaker 6>in some fucking room that you were already in. It
<v Speaker 6>just appears right because I think the first time you're
<v Speaker 6>in that room, it's not there. And then you have
<v Speaker 6>to like, you know, enter, you know numbers and stuff.
<v Speaker 1>I you know, I didn't. I didn't like get it
<v Speaker 1>right or do anything because the questions are impossible.
<v Speaker 4>I just say scum debt.
<v Speaker 1>I'm a bad person. I say scum dit I'm bad.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, okay, I think I got it right in the
<v Speaker 2>original run. I don't remember getting it right in.
<v Speaker 1>Remakes such a weird, strange thing.
<v Speaker 6>I think, Yeah, I actually think I found the box
<v Speaker 6>and didn't realize it was the way to answer the
<v Speaker 6>elevator trivia right away. I was just sort of like,
<v Speaker 6>Q one, what are all these things? Anyway? I just
<v Speaker 6>wanted to talk about it for a second.
<v Speaker 1>It's really neat, No, it was definitely a very memorable
<v Speaker 1>moment there.
<v Speaker 8>I think Prime Cut is just such a mini game
<v Speaker 8>ass minigame, and it's not my favorite Mario Party Jimberree,
<v Speaker 8>but that is the one that from when we play
<v Speaker 8>to the packs, and also if it pops up when'm
<v Speaker 8>playing with friends and stuff, as soon as you realize,
<v Speaker 8>like oh the concept is so easy to explain and
<v Speaker 8>such a good TV two somebody game.
<v Speaker 1>It's the best TV two.
<v Speaker 12>It's also the most incredible thing Tom and I have
<v Speaker 12>seen in real life with Ben stock into appointment at
<v Speaker 12>packs and you got pat up with someone they got
<v Speaker 12>fifty percent three times in a row.
<v Speaker 7>Before people, even the people looking into were freaking out.
<v Speaker 1>God rules. I love when Nintendo does like that really
<v Speaker 1>high quality looking.
<v Speaker 8>That's so good, like undulates as you're sewing they got
<v Speaker 8>good food in a bunch of games.
<v Speaker 4>But that meat looks really good.
<v Speaker 1>I think you think that meat comes from a bullet bill.
<v Speaker 1>No torpedo tad, what are the.
<v Speaker 7>Big cows on charm?
<v Speaker 1>It's a good point.
<v Speaker 16>I usually don't look forward to usually don't look forward
<v Speaker 16>to to V two G usual kind of speaker.
<v Speaker 1>It's one fun to.
<v Speaker 8>Yes is the best one in jamburey.
<v Speaker 1>I don't like crazy eats. I don't like crazy.
<v Speaker 4>I don't like crazy eats.
<v Speaker 1>I like it. I like how it incorporate.
<v Speaker 8>It's like weird, like, oh, you're just going to ride
<v Speaker 8>all the way up this building and do like a
<v Speaker 8>cute yeah exactly.
<v Speaker 11>I think the idea is better than the execution.
<v Speaker 7>I did it, did it once.
<v Speaker 3>I was like, yeah, it's the crazy Taxi and yeah.
<v Speaker 4>Like the Pikas and yeah there was no offspring, so
<v Speaker 4>I was like it's.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, that was pretty good.
<v Speaker 1>The best thing is it reminds you of a better game.
<v Speaker 7>Yes, you know, what about the all the stuff they
<v Speaker 7>put in Fortnite, like does the lego?
<v Speaker 1>I think those are just games. Those are too big.
<v Speaker 4>They have their own dedicated teams, they have their own. Yeah, yeah, Like.
<v Speaker 8>I do like teching Ball a lot, but it's not
<v Speaker 8>like wildly different than the three. It's like back, I'm glad.
<v Speaker 10>I was going to say if that ends up being
<v Speaker 10>like our number four in a.
<v Speaker 1>Way, like.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I feel the same way. Seconds always been great
<v Speaker 8>of that stuff. I love you know, techn Force, it
<v Speaker 8>doesn't revolution.
<v Speaker 1>I had a lot of fun with tech and Ball
<v Speaker 1>for the time that you play.
<v Speaker 11>It's fun.
