succeed in the game. You know, it's like there's no
waste of techniques that they give everything got to.
Learn patterns, got to learn your dodging, stuff like that,
but they give you enough power to do it.
Everything has a purpose in thatgame.
Yeah. You get beat down when you first
see it though. Oh, no.
When you. Yeah, when you don't have
anything at the beginning of thegame, it's like, please, I need

(03:05):
a dodge. I need a dodge, please.
Oh, good. They gave me this.
Oh, you gave me this. OK.
I feel powerful. It's actually that's the cool
part about the game. We actually started feeling
strong. Yeah.
And like whooping people's ass who like those little shits over
there that deserve like two hitsrad and four hits.
You can see it on our play through where we get destroyed
when we came back to play and was like oh what's happening?
And then we got powerful and destroyed them.

(03:28):
What up now? How to play and this game
actually released on the Xbox today.
Oh, it did. Nice.
Yeah, 'cause it was just on Steam, I believe.
Is it, is it today or is the 16th?
Oh, it's on Xbox? No, that's that's the shit.
I thought it was the 16th. Or the 15th.
Either 15th or 16th. Let's find out, you know.
What? Well, boy I.
Don't wanna give out false information but I'll Fact Check
to myself. You should, but if you like

(03:49):
Metroid Veins and if you like sci-fi and if you like Aeon
Flux, because this is hard work.Very much inspired by Yeah, I
think you'll see it right here. Yep, released on Xbox May 14th
14th. Oh shoot look at that.
Yes, Xbox today. Very.
Nice. And it's and even though it's
not the indie game of the week, it does get our level 857

(04:10):
approval. You'll see it down the line,
don't worry about that. It'll it'll definitely appear.
Yeah, definitely. Fun time though.
I liked it and I liked how the the ending was, you know, no
words or anything and we were like trying.
To. I was hoping that we figured it
out. And then we figured it out.
I was like, oh, I know what happened.
Hey, should ask the developers if we were right.
Yeah, I know, right? They're like, that's up for

(04:31):
interpretation, you guys. I like that.
So I like that when games do that, I want the music.
No, I want the music of the gamebecause.
Well, when enemies hit the screen, the music music turns
up. And the more enemies that are on
the screen, it turns up higher, like more instruments to that
track. So it's a dynamic atmosphere or
whatever. Background.
Well, it's atmospheric music when there's no enemies, right?

(04:52):
So it's very like open. But it's dynamic, so meaning
like when more enemies change, the music changes and yes, gets
more intense and makes your heart fucking beat.
You're like oh shit, oh God, over surrounded.
It's just like the music gets more intense.
They did that with the like the like.
Tron inspired type music like like, I love that.
Stuff I love cyber. What is it?
The freaking I forgot the cyber music.

(05:14):
No, the type of music. What the hell is that genre?
Cyber Sync. Yeah, Synth wave.
There we go. Synth wave music similar.
I love that. I love that.
Feel the bass pump when all the enemies come out, it's crazy.
Tell you dope game highly relic a club yeah, that's the oh shit
here come that who's the ghost sticks idiom fight them off

(05:35):
fighting them off a close sticksyeah imagine.
Well, that is a lightsaber. Right.
Yeah. Dude.
Imagine close as you go to rave.Go to a rave.
It's a favorite. Night.
It's like you're about to be attacked.
You hear it in the background faintly.
It's like I would shake up the enemies, take the glow sticks

(05:55):
out. You know they're coming through
now. I was going to say, the Dead
Space remake was had the dynamicthing.
So the music would intensify andthroughout the entire game you
can hear your heartbeat, like there was a heartbeat sound and
it would get faster and faster whenever there was like a new
enemy or whatever. It's intense.
Fuck that game. Only problem is damn you want to

(06:16):
hear the music all the time. Yeah, but it's it's, it's
properly placed though, because I do like the atmospheric music,
you know, the the ambiance and the.
Except when you get lost for a bit.
Oh, their map is crazy. They really maximize the fuck
out of this area. Like they maximize this map.
Really. Yeah, they really do.
Like you have to backtrack like crazy and like you have to

(06:37):
really understand. And there are different
sections. It looks there's a lot that can
look the same, but there are different sections in the.
Map yeah, but it does feel like like it's a really dope area.
It's really a cool. The backgrounds are dope, the
arts dope. I I like everything about this
game. It's very, very impressed.
Yeah, OK. It's not super long, it's like
maybe what, 7 hours to beat this?

(06:58):
Yeah, we were at 7:00 when we started the last playthrough, so
it's like close. To 1010?
Really. Probably like 8 to 10.
The last playthrough you guys had was like the, I think it was
the shortest. Yeah, well, two hours.
Yeah, it's about two hours, two hours.
And so it's like a little under 10 hours that we did in total.
Not bad, yeah, not bad, man. Solid, solid, solid, solid game.
Yes. So you recommend it?

(07:19):
Hell yeah. You recommend?
It especially as a multiplayer. Another multiplayer game that we
played was Marvel Rivals. Wobble, wobble, wobble, wobble.
Wobble wobles Cafe Foxes were playing wobble wobbles.
Yeah, man, wobble, wobble. Now this was this was a good
stream We got, we got our asses handed to us in the in the

(07:40):
beginning, Sure did. But we we came through at the
towards the end we came through.We had some WS and Adam Warlock
though, yeah. Man, yeah, mad aggressive for
Adam. Warlock, dude, I think I was the
you got MVP. I was the only healer for that
that that match. I was running around healing,
shooting someone. Oh God, I'm gonna heal.
I was flying everywhere. Fucking I changed to Scarlet

(08:02):
Witch and I started with what you call it Punisher, but I was
whack of Punisher. Yeah, when you're not, when
you're not feeling with someone time.
That's why it's always good to learn multiple characters
because it's like if you're not doing well with like Hawkeye or
Punishers, like, all right, let me switch to somebody else
because maybe I'll be playing better.

(08:22):
Plus, almost every team that we've matched up with had a
Punisher. Almost every almost almost every
round. I think there's maybe one round
there's no Punisher. Now we just have to have Turbo
learn how to use a healer and have to have sticks play the
game, yeah. Turbo's the most selfish bastard
in the. World I was using cloak and
dagger, all right. I was using cloak and dagger.
I did the best I could. Did they Did they hint at the

(08:44):
next character? Next character is going to be
Ultron. End of the month, right?
I think so. Oh.
That's going to be. That's going to be interesting.
It's. Going to.
Be a boy's voice for. Me.
Oh, that'd be great. I wish it was James Wade.
James Wade. He.
Cracks me up. His Ultron man, what was that?
What was that thing he said in the movie where he Hulk jumped
up in the the the helicopter andhe threw him up, threw him out,

(09:06):
he said. Oh.
For gods sake, yeah. For heavens.
So goodness. For like, Oh yeah, I was
attacking people. I was the most aggressive
healer. Yeah, seriously, you.
Were in a super aggressive healer.
I'm like bro. That's leading.
The charge What possessed this man?
He's. Very angry.
Oh, you shoot the energy at him.Yeah, yeah, it's fun to charge

(09:28):
that shit up. He's, I really do like Adam
Warlock. He.
Was a lot of fun. I like the scarlet.
I went on a tear with Scarlet Witch man.
Oh, you had like 30 kills? In that machine gun magic thing,
man. Yo, that's you aim it, you
charge it and you aim it correctly.
If you could do damage and wipe somebody out.
I killed 5 people in one shot. What I'm saying.

(09:48):
Oh, there was who was The Who was the one I hated?
It was Doctor Strange. Oh, that motherfucker pissing me
off. All all strange.
Yeah, actually, yes, that fuck in the.
Background. Yo fuck you 2 characters, Doctor
Strange and freaking Iron fist Oh my God annoying.
You notice there was no healing in that clip?
No it. Was all it was straight

(10:09):
violence? And beginning that game, if you
want to hear someone crash out, this guy's style over here,
yeah, is infamous for crashing out on that game.
Oh no, I won't. But not like profanities left
and right. You won't.
You won't believe it. If I hate, who is it usually?
Itself, either if you kill someone or you get killed.
It doesn't matter. No, no, no.

(10:29):
It's very true, yeah. I don't, I really don't talk.
I while out. It's the same thing either way
back. If I go on a streak of killing
people, I'm I'm yelling. He's on the Last of Us revenge
mission if he gets killed. Yeah.
Won't stop. Kill that bitch.
Yeah. Where's that bitch stop?
I was like, how do you got this on?
This is not gonna be on YouTube.You gotta put this post up.

(10:55):
You pick Captain America on this.
I don't remember you. I probably picked them once or
twice. Oh yeah, I was gonna say I don't
remember. You Joe, that was messed up in
the middle of a choke slam. That's now.
I ignored it completely. Like it's like it, like it never
happened. What was that round?
There was one round where I was like, I couldn't stay alive for
more than 10 seconds. Wow.
Well, seriously, I kept dying. Like, was that the round?

(11:16):
I just saw your legs dangling, Ithink, yeah, I I just popped
into a room and you just got shot across like in the
corridor. I couldn't get out of the
freaking. Every time I go dead, I'm like
what the What am I doing? What's going?
On there was maybe like 2 matches.
I felt like we were running intoa wood chipper.
Oh yeah, yeah, we were just out there.
Yeah, yeah. It felt like fucking Squid
Games. That one, that one round that

(11:36):
you were Captain America and I was Winter Soldier and we were
doing that team up move, bro. Oh, actually it was dope.
Yes, yes. I didn't even know that was a
thing. I was like, yeah, oh, let's do
it in the cluster of people there.
I was like, Oh yeah, I think we did it.
Yep. That's fantasy.
Fucking team moves are dope mad fun.
And Hakio from multiverses, indefinite plays the game.
That's the shit. And he's like yo, let me know
I'll get down. I said yeah, there we go.

(11:57):
We got our well, if sticks played then we'd have our 6th
play. Don't worry about that.
I was about to say we got our 6th play.
Nevermind. Nope.
Sixth thing. You gonna do it?
Cafe Fox is down for it. Raikkon's been in there before.
We got we got we. Got a cabin crunch I got.
Cam we got a. Crunch also.
We got our level heads that pop in, yeah.
Man. Yeah, man.
Raikkon always pops in. If you got a, if you got a

Peanut sticks. A.
Picture of sticks with. A They know I'm not on it.

(12:42):
They know I'm not, that it's fine.
It's fine. Gray it out like in the fighting
game, just Gray out as a face. How many times you play that
game? Once, yeah.
One time, yeah. About the same goal.
That's it. I played about the same as old,
but I bought a watch and I sold that shit right away.
Damn, I mean they made a lot of changes to the game.
It's not the same game. It's always fun.
It's always fun. I never not have fun playing

(13:02):
that game. It's hysterical.
But I stubborn. I need to learn how to play.
Wolverine. When you don't imagine
character, it's like. And they changed Wolverine at
all. I mean, they made they made
adjustments to his, his, his energy and stuff like that.
But I just. Don't.
There's a strategy, then you have a healing.
Well, there's a strategy to him.He's a complicated character and
I didn't know. That so I got I got to be on.

(13:23):
Point I got to know the the how to place myself in the battles
and get in, get out, kill, run. You know, I don't know how to do
that correctly. Team moves are also cool, man.
And whenever that's probably thecoolest thing of the game.
When Kev picked Hulk and I was Wolverine, I'm like, yeah, throw
me, you know, throw me over there.
He'll just throw me into some bullshit.
I'm like dude. That's the worst of luck.
Terrible. I'm not.
I, I I did a good throw last time, yeah.

(13:45):
He's like in there. Die.
Stop, man. We'll.
Take out a flyer, we'll take outa flyer.
If there's a flyer on the on thestage, we'll do it.
Oh Jake. I fucking hate him.
I love he's getting me mad thinking about him.
I hate, I hate that shark. Oh, Jeff.
I call him Jake. Jake.
Jake from State Farm. You like Jake?

(14:05):
Actually, yeah. He is annoying also man.
Jeff the land shark. Yeah, he's the most annoying
cat. I don't.
I haven't played. I haven't used him once.
Where's he from? He's from from the game.
No, he's what? Comic.
Though no, he's. No, he was Squirrel Girl.
No, not Squirrel. I forgot where he's from, but
he's definitely he's been aroundsince like the 20 tens.
Jeez, Yeah. It'll actually make sense.

(14:27):
I stopped reading comics back. Then yeah, I don't.
Yeah, I stopped reading way before I thought they just made
that motherfucker up. Yeah, I didn't.
Yeah, I never heard that Luna snow.
I was like, who's that? Yeah.
And then the dude that's right. Now I don't know who that is
either. Luna Snow.
Let's see here, Turbo and style guys.
You guys played multiverses? Yes, we did.

(14:48):
Yeah, man, how'd that go? It started off pretty bad.
No, this is yeah. Really, we were getting work,
but we were. There were so many close
matches, but we just weren't finishing.
Yeah, yeah. Like, I mean, we probably won.
I think the Batman Superman won a little bit at the beginning,
but we were just still getting beat down.
What happened to the chat and what happened to the chat on
the, on the Oh, no, I, I took itoff because the they, there was

(15:12):
a thing that popped up that saiddisabled for some, some this
stream is disabled chat or some shit like that.
So I just muted it. But but yeah, I mean, we had a
rough time when we got to Aquaman and Agent Smith, they
started bringing it back. Oh, yeah, they were killing
people. Yeah, they.

(15:33):
They brought it. Back so your Agent Smith is like
when you jump up and does that pose or whatever that was
murdering people. Oh yeah, I was catching people
with that shit. Everyone was getting popped
right off the screen with them, yeah.
There, there was bullets flying and dolphins and sharks.
Jumping around everywhere. But after we picked them, we
went back to the old teams, and the old team started getting
wins. Yeah, like Batman, Superman were
massacring people. Aria and Jason, we're doing the

(15:55):
same. Then we went back to Wonder
Woman and Nubia and we're getting wins.
So started off rough because we weren't finishing matches, but
then we, you know, cleaned up. So next time we'll it's, it's
going to be different next time.It's going to be actually, I had
a battle with those guys. Am I jacking them?
Oh yeah, yeah. That was then.
They were getting aid. They were getting killed later.
Yeah, yeah. If it was close and then they
were just, they were getting like as you could see, they're

(16:17):
getting beat down over there. You got found out, yeah.
Because what's? Cheap.
He was just mashing a budget. He was doing the same, same
range. I kept doing the same shit over
and over. I'm like, you're not going to
win. What up man produce?
Mass. That's what's annoying man.
But people spamming moves, yeah,people got what they what they
deserved. Fuck them.
Damn, that's aggressive. Oh sorry, they could be mad.

(16:41):
We go and get them. Did we shout out Cafe box?
I missed it. Yeah, we shout.
Out if not, I'm in a red. I was reading.
I was like, oh, I forgot. Are you just sitting there?
But. Yeah, yeah, everything's good.
Yeah. So far so good.
And then also Styx and I finallyfinished a way out.
We found a way out. We found a way out from a way

(17:03):
out. What did?
You guys think? And I well, it was good.
Very good. I I knew it early.
Yeah, yeah. Compared to the other works, it
was definitely one of the earliest ones.
Really. It's funny because we played bat
like 1st, we started middle. Yeah, we started with It Takes
Two. Yes, we beat that game.
That was amazing. You understand why that got Game

(17:25):
of the Year? That was a huge step up from
this. One.
Oh yeah. If you're just coming from this.
And then followed by Split Fiction, which is also another
one. Amazing.
Better than all. Yeah.
Yeah, Split. Fiction Night.
Day. Yeah, Yeah.
Oh. OK, yes, but night, day, going
back to this one was like, oh man, I can see where it's coming
from, but this is early. Exactly, this is like I we see

(17:48):
it. Was more of a movie.
All the this is like they threw out their ideas for the Co-op
stuff. Yeah.
And this, this is like where they were testing it out and in
other games they fleshed it out perfectly.
As a game, this is more, this ismore cinematic, yes.
So they had the ideas and my dude acting.
Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's. Doing.
The part Joseph, yes, he was doing the part.

(18:09):
Shout out to. Joseph in his face and
everything was in. He's like, oh man, yeah, here it
is. It was hilarious.
It. Is a Joseph Forest game, yeah.
Man, all right, so so far it's split fiction, then it takes 2,
then this goes under them. Yeah, I think so.
It's it's progression. It's just backwards.
So I would I would recommend youguys play it takes 2 next turbo

(18:32):
and style it takes 2 and then and then split fiction last yes.
And you'll understand why when you get through them, you'll be.
You guys going to play brothers?Whatever brothers tale.
Or no, that's not the. Same.
Yeah, that's it's, it's that's like early, early, early game,
man. That was just this was like the
beginning of the the trilogy. That was an idea.

(18:53):
They did. Brothers was it Tail?
Tail Brothers I. Forgot the time man.
I just know what it's called. Brothers, brothers.
But they're white dudes. I knew I was going to go.
I was like, I was actually goingto say a joke again, but I was
like, Nah, let me not, let me not touch that.
And I'm like, Oh well. It's European.
Beaten to it? Yep.

(19:13):
Brothers, A tale of two sons. Tale of two sons.
Yeah, I played it for a little bit, but that was one player I
played as, so I think that was made for 2 plays.
It definitely was. Yeah, but I do the only thing I
wish that they did better. Not just, I'm not going to spoil
anything in the game, but I wishthat they did like the end game
better as you build up towards it.

(19:34):
I don't see what happens or anything, but in a in a way out
I wish that they had a differentclimactic area.
A better way out. Yeah, a different, different
thing. But yeah, other than that, I did
like, I did like what they did. I like the story.
Too. But I mean, this was years.
This was years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can imagine if I played it like, what, 1213 years?

(19:57):
Like how long? I don't remember when this came
out, but it was a long over a decade ago.
Yeah, it's definitely over. I would say maybe 2012, 2013
maybe. It's probably, it's probably
like a little over a decade. It's crazy.
Time is. Flossing.
Nothing. Yeah.
That's insane. It is insane.
But oh real quick about this, when I first got this right I

(20:20):
have it was an issue with my EA account because I haven't used
it since the 360. Reset the password.
I have. Well I did.
I reset the password right? But guess what the e-mail that I
had is an old ass e-mail that's not even working anymore so I
can't even change it. It's locked into the EA account.
So I went to EAI actually sent acomplaint to EA like emailed

(20:43):
them. They haven't gotten back to me.
I can't get my it's like locked it's gone.
So I'd have to make like a new account because I was originally
planning to play this game with a Co worker who wanted to play
EA and. We didn't change the e-mail.
I can't get this thing. I couldn't get it to work.
And it's like, this is not the, the, you know, it's not Haze
Light Studio's fault. It's EA's fault because they

(21:06):
require you to have that fuckingaccount.
It's excite female. Oh my God.
It's that they felt they fella. No, it was a Hotmail.
Actually it's a Hotmail account.It's a.
Hotmail, Yeah, was it's live nowit.
Was a Hotmail. Policy.
I mean, no stop. You still have a Hotmail account
though. I think it is, but the one that
I had is, it's been gone for years.
I've never used it. Chuck.

(21:26):
I'm glad someone heard that. Yeah.
No, no, we, I'm not glad. I heard it.
We heard it. We just ignored it.
I'll had a Hotmail, Paul. Hotmail.
Get it? Yeah.
All right. What else we got, all righty?

(21:47):
Oh yeah. We did try and we did try and
stream that and. Oh yes, we we tried.
To stream it kind of messed thatone up.
Yeah, we did. We streamed it, but we would
have once watched it. Actually.
Yeah. I mean, it was in the middle of
a our redesign of the show and everything in our streaming
setup. So that was like in the early
stages of it. So I wasn't really 100% done.

(22:08):
So it was kind of like we. Didn't have a backup recording,
so you guys didn't see that. Yeah, unfortunately, yeah.
We did some cool stuff though, yeah.
Like do a a waterfall backwards on our raft.
I know that stage. Couldn't even see what's going
on. We passed it.
Or that part. I should say that would have
been nice to have on tape. True, but.
It is what it. Is but it was a fun game.

(22:30):
Highly recommended. All right, I actually had some
time to play some games myself because I know it's been it's
been a while since I had time toplay anything since I and I
played and finished completed this game that I've had for a
minute called Gory Cuddly Carnage.
What? Yes, now explaining this game,

(22:52):
let me just start off by saying you play as a cat who rides a
hoverboard that is a talking like AI hoverboard.
So he talks to you. The cat doesn't say anything.
He just meows and purrs and stuff and the and the the the
hoverboard does all the talking.So the way I could explain this
game, the combat is with the hoverboard you get you get like

(23:14):
moves and stuff. It's like a SSX and conquers bad
for a day put together. So there's a lot of cursing in
this game. So there's like you fighting.
Are you fighting these demonic unicorns?
It's weird. Like everything that's cute.
They just make it like gory and like fucking.
It's crazy. I want you to explain this like

(23:34):
all day. It's really something.
I mean, there's like a, you know, not, it's not spoiling
anything because it's in the trailer.
There's a freaking the fuck is going on?
There's like a yeah, there you go, The Unicorn, the cutest
companion. But then he turns.
Then he turns evil. Watch, they're all going to
turn. They're all psych.
They're all psychic and evil. Well, so much for the cutest.
Ugly carnage? What's?

(23:55):
Like a zombie Unicorn. Yeah, they're all zombie.
Yeah, and they have different enemies, too.
It's freaking hilarious. Ugly corn.
The ugly corn. Yeah, they have stupid intros
like that. Tons of funny characters, dude,
and it's like Conker's Bad Fur Day and that it's uncensored.
Like they this guy curse is likecrazy funny man, and the boss is
cursed. What the Yeah, they're like,
yeah, bitch, you like that? I was like what is the boss?

(24:18):
But it got terminated. Wow.
Dude, it's crazy. You power like you.
You can also level up your your hoverboard.
You get, you get like a projectile, like a bazooka
projectile type of thing. Yeah, yeah, it's freaking cool,
man. It's like Lollipop Chainsaw.
It's very yeah. But graphically it's it's
amazing. The music actually surprisingly

(24:38):
very, very, very good. I downloaded the soundtrack
right after beating this game. It's really good.
It's like a mix of depending on the stage and the the story is
nonsensical. It's really, really funny, man.
You're looking for your, your, your owner.
And it's like the sign, this female, like, scientists who,

(24:59):
like, designed this thing to, tosave her pets or whatever.
Yeah, it's a weird story, but you don't play the game for
that. Yeah.
But yeah, it's pretty funny, man.
Drove though it looks. Actually, I like the lights.
Everything's trying to kill you and.
What's the name of it? Cuddly carnage.
Gory, gory gory is the name of the cat.

(25:21):
Gory GORI. Cuddly Carnage.
Wow. Yep, that's funny.
It's a dope ass game, all right.I recommend it Looks cool.
It's like a Astrobot kinda jet set ready.
There's parts of it like that. Yeah, no, there's actually parts
like that too. Yeah, it's.
Just for you. Platforming, dude, it's almost

(25:43):
like a Devil May Cry, kind of like it's like an arena.
Like you go into one area, you're fighting a bunch of
people and then you go to the next area, fight a bunch of
people. Wow.
But then you have like some someplatforming areas or whatever,
but it's pretty linear. It's pretty it's good.
Nice. And the other game I didn't beat
this game yet, but this game is another one, a weird one to

(26:07):
describe. So this is a rogue light beat em
up game called Kyborg. So you're this, you're a
prisoner, A futuristic prisoner.I did see footage of this.
Yeah, you're a futuristic prisoner that go that has to
battle, right? That's tell is being televised
throughout the Galaxy and you have to in order to get your

(26:29):
freedom, you have to fight your way out of prison and every
every level you get you get likeupgrades and just like a
roguelike game you get you know you get you get money when you
when you die, whatever you get points to some of the upgrades
you can keep some of them you get you get like better stats
and you. Get to keep what you get.

(26:51):
For the most part, yeah. Or at the very least, you can
get like, like the chances of finding it again.
Like, you can up. You can up your chances by,
like, putting more money and buying more stuff.
But you get weapons, You get freaking armors.
Like, you can upgrade your arms,like each arm, the left or the
right or both feet, or you're like the back armor and stuff.
And they actually unlock like, new moves and stuff.

(27:13):
This game got very addictive. I'm not a big fan of roguelike
games in general, but this one you know if it has a good
hooking point and it's not too rogue like where you don't have
any abilities when you die. This one is awesome.
I see right here you can see youchoose your your weapon or
whatever and it looks like I think.
I said it before, it looks like a thrill kill to beat him up.
Yeah, no, it's it's got a little, a little Arkham, a

(27:36):
little bit as far as a battle, alittle a little influences of a
lot of different you. Do actually get thug in Arkham
game? Yeah.
But it's the. Side mission that they do.
My only and this is a this is one of those budget titles.
It's an energy game, but I thinkit's like for 30 bucks on PS5
and and Xbox. But my only gripe with this game

(28:02):
is the music is pretty. It's yeah, it's like lackluster.
It's not, it didn't really hook me the music and it hasn't
really changed, but I don't knowif it's because I'm only I've
only gotten to the second stage,the 2nd floor I.
See. So I probably can get.
So maybe it changes? These dynamic music, yeah.

(28:22):
Yeah, right. But for the most part it's, it's
pretty cool, man. You have AI, don't know if you
guys saw there was like a littleBLOB like alien character on the
side. He he narrates your, your
playthrough. Yeah, 'cause he's like a host of
a, of a game show or whatever where you, you know, you tell,
you tell like. So it was like Mojo from the
X-Men. It's Clayface, yes.
It is Clayface. Perfect example.

(28:43):
Yes, it's like a mojo from the X-Men.
Interesting. No, it looks good.
This is where you this is where you start off right here.
So this is where you would that that machine straight ahead.
That's where you have your, yourskill tree and you, you use your
money to buy different skills and stuff and upgrade your shit.
Nice. It's.
Basically, what a remake of Warriors.

(29:04):
Warriors, yeah, they they do need to remake that.
Never thought of that. It's like Warriors kind of the
ultimate. Warrior.
Game though I'm debating whethercuz I know tomorrow or actually
tonight cuz I have a pre downloaded doom.
The Dark Ages releases tonight, yeah.
And pre downloaded too, but I probably won't even get.

(29:26):
To play, I know Chalk said. He's not gonna be available for
Fighter Friday, so I'm like. Shoot a Friday.
Play Yeah. Shoot a Friday, yeah.
Just, well, it's, it's May Lange.
It's. Fire Friday.
You're fighting demons. It's still a fight, just.
Hit that, let's play bro. Just.
Hit that you got. You know, I was thinking, I was
debating whether to play this game, Kyborg or Doom the Dark.
Ages you guys want to see doom of?

(29:47):
Course, I'm all right. Good.
Dark ages, Yeah. Dark buddy.
Dark Ages Doom. Yeah, Doom.
Dark Ages. They say it plays very
different. As they are like.
Which I like. It's first person, there's like
fatalities. You have a Rygar sword.
A sword? Rygar shield.
That's the wrong game, Sir, I say.

(30:07):
Wait, what? It's the first person, Rygar,
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It looks a little like it though.
It looks cool. Throw this shit like Captain
America comes back nice. And shreds somebody's head off.
Beautiful. Oh man, I was watching some of
Victoria Lucas's playthrough. How does he like?
It pretty good, yeah. He's having a blast man.

(30:28):
Nice. What else we got?
That's all I played, but the next we got 3 fighter Fridays to
talk about. Here we go.
Starting with Fatal Fury, City of the Wolves.
Yo this game is dope. I was playing through the
tutorial a bit right? You played the tutorial was

(30:50):
kicking your ass it. Was tutorial was open me up,
bro, because the inputs are different from like it feels
different from Street Fighter. The time is a little bit
different. So, but yeah, so I, I went
through most of the tutorial andthen I decided to go online and
play and it was like, oh, you have a choice.
You could be like easy intermediate or like expert.
I'm like, you know, I'll play fighting games.

(31:13):
I. Know what to do here, expert?
I put it on intermediate and I started matching up with people
stomped to the ground looking like a scrub it.
Looks like Street Fighter. But Nah, it's you know, failure,
Fury, City of the Wolves, it's asolid, it's a solid game.

(31:34):
I started playing through the story mode and you know, I'm
learning more about the game at that point.
It's this game is fun, dude. It's just that my only my only
gripe with it is that my other two characters that I'm familiar
with are DLC. Andy and Joe.
Yep. Man, Andy's my Andy and Joe.

(31:55):
Andy's my dude. That make no sense.
How are they DLC really? Yeah, they were in the original
game. That's but you know, it is what
it is. But the good thing is I I bought
the I guess the day one edition and it was 40 bucks and you get
the season one DLC with it. Oh, so alright, I can't complain

(32:16):
too much. They're season 1 DLCI guess
right. Yeah, they're both season.
One. I hope so.
Oh, we don't know yet. Wow.
I guess when is Ken and Chung Liis there right off the bat?
Or is that no? They're not in the game yet.
They're not in the game yet. I.
Don't know when. I think that part is season 1.
Yeah, it was good though. I like, I like the aesthetic.
Yeah, no, this game looks great and it and it plays very well
too. Like once you get used to the

(32:38):
mechanics, it it plays it plays dope.
Are you OK? No, definitely not.
OK, so you look. Then you played the following
Fighter Fridays. You had played Super Smash
Brothers. Brah, what can I say about Smash

(32:59):
Ultimate man? Oh, this was a great one, yes.
This was a great one. That was, that was my warm up.
That was the Oh yeah, yeah, thatwas one of the challenges.
I just used to get used to attacking everything that's
moving. What was your?
What was the highlight of the stream if you remember?
I stole, I stole, I stole a couple of matches, I'm pretty
sure. But dominated.

(33:20):
I had no, I didn't dominate anything.
I I know I stole a match from somebody.
I just forgot who. And that's, that's hard boy Dan.
Oh, that's Sam. Dance classes?
He hasn't me. That's just up as Diddy.
Yeah, it kills me. Wow.
Yeah, man, the Diddler. The Diddler.
Take that. The Diddler was getting wins,

(33:41):
too. Take that, take that.
It's crazy. That's not a good sentence.
I had some good kills. I had some good kills.
I should have. I whiffed on that last second
hit. He should have been dead.
Got you that baby oil. I stole.
Yeah, man, I stole I. Slippery, Slippery.
I stole a couple of ones that night and I'm, you know, I'm OK
with that. I still wins and smash.
Not bad, you know. So overall it was a success.

(34:03):
Yeah, it's always a success. Everyone had fun.
Took that, that's all that matters.
Yeah. Everyone had a good time, don't
mess with me. Get.
That baby oil. No.
No more baby. Oil and then of course, Street
Fighter Six this this week, right?
I'm washed you. Said I'm washed.

(34:27):
No, no, I just. Yeah, I just was not at at my, I
was not. I'm not at my best in that game.
No, I wasn't all of It's just that I haven't played the game
in months. And it's like because I've been
addicted to wobble wobble. Wobble, wobble, wobble.
And I and and I have I got to say I have a a a a mild dislike

(34:50):
for people who use modern the modern button layout.
Why is it mild, man? Just say you hate it I.
Just say you hate it. Like it's.
Not fair, dude. Like I know you're trying.
I know you're trying to like expand the attraction to the
game or whatever, but like, I hate when I'm playing against
people that don't have to input stuff.

(35:10):
I know that that their move set is limited, right?
But like I hate the fact that they don't have to input
anything to do like flashy combos.
And I'm just like, yeah, and I'mand then I'm losing to people.
I'm like, yo, you like, do you know how to play the game?
Can I use that in rank mode? Yeah, really.
Yeah. That's not right.
It is. That's not.
Right, unless you you should turn that off, on and off.

(35:31):
You should be able to turn that off.
To turn it off because. It's certain like combo strings
and stuff that you can't do withmodern.
Yeah, there's definitely stuff that you can't do with modern,
but it's like the stuff that youcan pull off and I'm just like.
So you get your ass whipped differently.
I'm I'm, I'm losing 1/4 of my energy because this dude hit
three buttons. Come on man.
That's like Tekken 8. Well, Tekken 8.
Tekken 8 at least. Happy energy because somebody

(35:53):
hit the top button. Yeah, but at at least in Tekken
8, when you whenever somebody does that, it shows up on the
screen. You, you.
Oh. Yeah, nice, different.
They basically air out that you're using the fucking easy
mode. Exactly.
They air it out. So I think that's a good.
I think that's a good like. They busted that game anyway.
It's coming back later. Yeah, they're gonna, they're
gonna have to do a lot of stuff 3.
New updates coming over to summer, so Yep.

(36:13):
Hopefully don't fix it, yeah, and then I'll play it again.
Latest two weeks, right? June 5th.
Yeah. Oh, she's coming out the same
day as Switch to all right. And the switch to version is
coming out too, yeah. True, Yeah, man.
So, yeah, Now Street Fighter Six, you're going to see more of
that on the channel. I need to get better.
That was a fun time. Need to get back into top form.

(36:33):
So do you think they'll announceseason 3 starting on the game
Summer Game Fest? It has to.
Right. I hope so.
I'm. Sure, they will have to, I'm
sure. I love it's line love, right?
They got brilliant, thank God. And I think, yeah, I forgot.
I forgot when I said they were going to release the God I, I
forgot if he was, if I said it was going to be the first DLC
for season 3 at the last. But I'll forget, he said the
last. Bob Sagat.

(36:55):
Stop. That's his first name, Sir.
Or Sagat X. Stop.
I like. That.
One stop, Sir, Stop. Next RIPRIP.
That's all I got to say. Show some respect for the
deceased man. That was a fun time.
Yes, RIPRIPSI dot X. He's still around.
What are you? Doing.

(37:18):
I'm sorry, Bob Saget. What the hell, he's still alive
dude. I swear to God if something
happened. To him, he's this.
Guy. Man, I forgot Bob Saget.
I'm sorry. Wow.
I was doing two things at once. What?
What thinking? Yes.

(37:40):
I was thinking. I was going to be like walking
and chewing bubble gumming hard.Come on, when's the last time
you heard Sadak? He could have.
Been. Dead.
All right, man. Sir, let's move on.
Sir. Jesus, you guys making you guys
making nothing. Unfortunately, it's your time to
talk about Xenoblade. Xenoblade Chronicles.

(38:00):
Gordo. Love Gordo.
Gordo St. Hi, what up Gordo Xenoblade
Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed. It's finally beaten.
It's done. I just one day I just blacked
out and I was just like, I need to finish this now.
I need to finish it. And a lot of my characters, a
lot of abilities need to be unlocked.
And you don't do it with normal,you know, leveling progression

(38:23):
as you do in the main game. You actually have to find items
that unlock certain accessories,certain gems, certain arts, and
I just have to do that for everysingle character.
Then, you know, I got to the last.
I think my characters were at 50by the time I was able to beat
the game. 50 something. Close to 60.
They said DLC is 20. I beat this at like 50.

(38:45):
It was like, yeah, it was between.
It was between 40 and 50. It might be like 45 or
something. I got to check, but it's between
40 and 50. Why?
I finally beat the game and it'sgreat.
It was a great ending. I thought it was really cool.
Now I'm ready for us. You know Blade Chronicles X but
I'm waiting for that 60 frame patch because you know it's
coming to the switch to. What part are you on?

(39:06):
An elder e-mail. I am where I know, and you know
what, because I actually just played that 2 days ago and I
haven't played it for a minute because I was playing Xenoblade.
Now I I was blacking out playingthat game.
But eldering I'm trying to figure out I'm up to this boss
that starts out as like a he's, I don't know, he's like a this

(39:27):
wild thing coming at you and then you kill him and then the
night comes after I forgot it's it's two bosses.
You're fighting 2 bosses and that guy keeps killing me and I
keep trying to do different stuff.
The cool thing about that game though, is that if someone kills
you, you just kind of walk to some other area, try to explore
that, build yourself, build yourself up.
I found a cool place where I'm killing these enemies and I'm

(39:49):
just picking up. What was the stuff that you pick
up that you level up with afterwards?
It's kind of like their their way of doing so it's kind of
like souls. Yeah.
It's like it's like you spend it, you spend it to level up or
whatever. But these guys give a lot and I
was able to do some pretty good levels up.
I think I'm up 50 something or whatever.
Like that's my. Level farming spot.

(40:10):
Yeah, I pulled up some crazy sword.
It's just, it's still good, but I gotta get back into it 'cause
I'm locked. I need to get this key to open
this door which opens up like the other part of the world.
It's unblocked by a door. I tried to go around and stuff
and I'm like, yo, I'm really legit blocked off from this area
and I just figured out where that key was.

(40:30):
So I got to go pick up that key and then do it so.
How about Shinmu 3? Where you at in that?
Look, man, all right? Make it quick.
Make it quick. We'll be here for an hour.
He will never beat that game. All the games that Turbo
started. I'm in the village, all right,
and it's that same village I wasin since the beginning of the
game. So I can't open it, I have to.
Make a I'm going to give you homework, man.

(40:52):
You got to write down a list of all the games you started.
Oh no, I'm still playing, dude. I'm playing.
I'm. Still exactly.
I got Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I'm I'm far in that.
Is it under 10? What hours?
10 No 10 games that you started but you haven't finished.
Now it might be about no, I think it's about 10 games.
I'm probably, I'm probably playing about 10 games right

(41:13):
now. That's who they'll.
Be, you know, lucky, switch to his backwards compatible.
Yeah, it's man. You're going cross generation
man. Yes, seriously.
No, I got. Movie your saves.
Now I have AI, have a Sony backlog, I have a Xbox backlog
and a Switch backlog. So what about the Jaguar
backlog? The.
Game look I have a backlog also but I don't start 10 games.
It depends. It depends on how I feel.

(41:35):
No, Eric, you know what? Know what game I started playing
for the last two games? Tales of Vesperia.
I was sick. Is it the?
Is it the the the better one? Yeah, it's a definitive version,
Yeah, 'cause I'm like, you know what?
There's content in here I don't know about so.
And I'm like the game. 60 hour game.
It holds up. It still holds up to.
The ball sheet not certain it still.

(41:56):
Holds up. What up?
What up? What a great game.
What a great game. But those, yeah.
So many hours. I'll eventually get to Unicorn
Overlord on free. Wow, wow.
Wow, he's nuts. I'm eventually, but yeah, it's
like it's. Actually you have the you have

(42:16):
the button there too. Yeah, he stopped the whole the
man's whole train of thought. No, no, no.
You have the sound effect for itby the.
Way. Why would you say eventually?
No, that's no, that's no, that'snot what I'm going to get to
this game. I just downloaded Order 33,
wasn't it? Whatever, I'm going to try that
by next week. All right, so that transitions

(42:36):
into. Yeah, perfect timing.
I'm glad you said that. Jesus, I've been playing Claire
Obscure exhibition 33. What a name.
What a game dude. Claire what Pucksable.
I hate that you just ruined my whole spot process some Cosby
joke. It's.

(42:57):
So bad, I said. Claire.
What? What was it?
Claire? What?
Obscure. OK.
All right, so it's on Game Pass,right?
So I was like, yeah, I've been anticipating this game.
Certain trailers get me like it's it was happened with Stella
Blade happened everything. Like when you see a trailer,
you're like, your dad is a game I'm going to play.
A lot of people are like discredited too, like, oh, we
never even heard of this, blah, blah, blah.

(43:18):
What is this? Because it's new and when
something new comes out, people are questionable until we hear
reviews on it. And when it came out and got
like high 90s and like yo, this game could be the best in the
world and everybody's like you see, I mean, listen, credit due.
It's getting the name recognition it needs.
Everyone is talking about this game for good reason.
It's a role player that is a term based role player like back

(43:41):
in the day, which Square has ranaway from for some reason.
But it's a fun battle system andit's like reflex based.
There's like. So it's timing.
Yes OK also pretty like rhythm game also cuz you gotta listen
to the sounds sometimes to dodgebut you either can dodge or you

(44:02):
can parry every move in the game.
So you can fight the hardest boss in the game and not get hit
if you're good enough. Gotcha.
But there's also many bosses that I walked up to one hit
smashed my whole party. I'm like, ah, come on, man, I
can't I can't fight this guy right now.
So I would go and I I have played this all week and last

(44:23):
week I was like, don't worry, I'm just going to be playing
this right now. Just.
Grinding. And like, like I have a backlog
of games that we all have. When a new game comes out, it
has to do something special to take over my time.
And something that's very powerful in doing that is music.
So if I start your game and you have phenomenal music, I will

(44:45):
most likely give you a shot overeverything I'm playing.
And this game has some astounding music.
It's very, there's like French music and stuff like that.
It's very orchestral, but it's done so good.
And like, I got to new areas. I'm like, yo, I don't even want,
I don't even need to be here. But this music though, I'm going

(45:06):
to go search. I'm going to go run around this
area because this music is crazy.
But yeah, the soundtrack alone, we're picking up this game, but
I've gotten far. Like I said, I've gone in the
wrong areas, got my ass kicked. I I tried to hold my own.
I was, I was fighting. I was like repelling parry in

(45:26):
every move for like I was like, don't take it off.
No energy. But I will be here for a while.
I can't miss this button. I can't miss this.
But I did that thing until they had like 10% energy left.
I missed once party gone, I was like, come on, I did that like
50 times. I did my timing perfect and he
couldn't reward me with nothing but a game over.

(45:48):
Come on. So I left that area.
What's? What's impressive is just
looking at this game, it's like,well, it's crazy that it's
indie. Yeah, right.
Well, it doesn't look like an indie game.
Listen, I saw like a mini documentary of this.
It's like maybe like 16 minutes or so, but it was what was it
called? That looks like a monster from
Stranger Things. Yeah, looks so the the graphics

(46:10):
in this are crazy, but the the thing on YouTube, it's called
wild six years development cycle.
It's called Claire Obscure Exhibition 33 is a wild six year
development cycle. So it goes into what, these 30
people, yeah, 30 people made this.

(46:31):
Game. That's the team. 30 freaking
people. Yeah, and.
About not. Not hundreds.
About. Five years.
Damn, that's. Crazy.
And it started with two ex employees of Ubisoft Wow because
they said they wanted to make anawesome game and if they asked
Ubisoft they would have said no.So they did.
So they left them, made their own.
That's talent over. And if you see they started on
like Unreal Engine 4 look like asci-fi game, like the graphics

(46:54):
are totally different. But you could see that the game
was there and then they started getting people.
They went on, I want to ruin thewhole 60 minutes on there, but
they had, they went on on Redditand asked people for help and
they got some, they got some of the squad from there.
Wow. The documentary actually made me
tear up, Made me tear up really,because they were talking about

(47:16):
this could get something like like nominated game of the year
or could be game of the year andthey were talking about they
made this game because they lovegames.
And that hit me like yo, IE it'sthe passion, love, the passion
that they put into something like this and they get
recognized with a team that small and they come out with
something that's like Final Fantasy level looking is insane.

(47:37):
And that's all from the love of games.
That's why they, I'm sure that'swhy they got in the industry.
It's because they love. Games and it wasn't.
They skipped over everybody, he said.
We don't need no middle men trying to get money from us.
We don't need this, this and this.
We did this or gamers to love the game.
And it's not. And you notice they didn't say
anything about money. No, it's all about no making

(47:59):
good games that people like to play.
And it's a solid game. That's great.
Solid. Awesome $80.00 No Yeah.
How much is the game I? Think it's 50?
It's on game pass. There you go, 50 bucks brand
new. Yeah, that's.
Awesome. They solidify themselves with
Game Pass years ago, he said. All right, we got to get our
name out there with this. We're going to do this.
This and this they got and now they even got a movie plan.

(48:20):
They said damn, they can get a movie.
Who knows that we could that's to get done.
But they said we got that, we got this and they got so many
more offers now. Well, if it gets game of the
Year, definitely there's going to be, I'm sure. 100% saying
that I was like how come people forgot about split fiction so
fast because that's my still game of the year.
Yeah. But if you don't have two
players, I can understand how you might not have played it

(48:41):
right. So this might leapfrog it as a
single player experience, but overall I still say split
picture should get game of the year.
I think this should be nominated.
I haven't been there yet, so I can't say.
I mean, GTA is out of the picture, so these games got, you
know, they got a chance. Dude the split picture team
already won game of the. Year, that's true, yeah.

(49:01):
You got to give it to the littleguy, yeah.
I agree, get it over them. I'll be like, yo applause.
Hell yeah, yes. If, if even if I'm sure it's
even gonna get nominated. Split fiction, I'm sure.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd be mad if it wasn't.
Even no, it should definitely bethere.
Fucking mad. If it came out too early and
they forget, I mean I'm not watching the show.
Oh, if it's not even on that, Ohmy God.
Indiana Jones ain't gonna be there.

(49:22):
Watch that. Came out way too early.
Damn. Your word foul, What was the
last year? Came out the very end, yeah.
Foul. I just stopped watching the
awards part of that. Just watch the trailers.
Game Trailers. Awards aren't important.
Then I'm going. To I just like the live
speeches. When they fuck up, I just look
for that and then and the trailers.
That's it. But now I can't recommend this

(49:44):
enough. It's on game pass.
It looks beautiful. Play obscure.
Check it out it. Looks awesome.
Wow, it's awesome. And I'm happy to announce I'm
not the only one that's played this game, Assassin's Creed
Mirage, that somehow everybody forgot about.
It's almost like the game doesn't exist.

(50:04):
It really. I've never seen a disrespect for
an Assassin's Creed game in my life.
You know, like the reboot of Part 1.
Right. It's it's pretty much Part 1
redone. It's everything that you could
ask for in an Assassin's Creed. Like if like the purists, the
ones that like Assassin. People were asking for it, like
to go back to the roots. It's like they asked for it and
then when it comes out they don't talk about.
It not at all. It's crazy.
Because there was, there was nothing there.

(50:26):
They were talking about shadows so much.
Yeah, yeah, Shadows kind of liketook over.
I'm like. But it was something bad to say.
Fucking good. Even though those are both good,
these are both good games. I I got probably seven, 7 1/2
hours into this game. This game is fucking dope.
Really fucking awesome. Awesome game.
I like how the area's like condensed but it feels like very

(50:47):
large balls but. Why?
Talking about the game, it's gotta come from my tracks.
It's aw, wow, shut up. It felt large.
But it brought back the assassinpart of being in in the series.
Where's your hood at though? This is the training.
Yeah, he's the training. Get out of here troll.

(51:08):
Doesn't I need an explanation? Get out of here troll.
This is the Star Wars. Game.
Actually, when you when you're becoming an assassin, it feels
like how Christian Bale became Batman and Batman Begins like
that area when he was training as a ninja.
That's exactly how it felt when you're becoming an assassin,
like the training that you have to do, you have to fight your
master a few times. You lose to your master you have
to be in months pass by. It's really the story is

(51:32):
actually very dope cuz I usuallydon't really pay too much
attention to the story. I still.
Do future stuff in that game. I'm only 7 hours in so I won't
know. I can't say anything, but so far
so good. The one thing I wanted to know
is when you go to assassinate somebody, can you embarrass the

(51:52):
shit out of them? Like, can you do it in a funny
way? And I got my answer very quick.
Yeah, because, you know, you hadthe Phantom blades in Unity.
You have daggers where you couldthrow it in someone's head.
It's like syndicate. I guess I I forget syndicate
even though I enjoyed it, but I forget.
They have diagrams, yeah, they they throw.
Down but there was 1 mission where like you have to do like a

(52:12):
bunch of little small missions to to uncover the main guy that
you have to kill. And when I went to the main area
he was at, they were like, you have to like kind of cause a
commotion to get him to come outon the balcony.
And, you know, I did a couple oflittle things, you know, made,
you know, some noise or whatever, but I was still hidden
and the the guy was like this. Fat.
Merchant just comes out and he'slike, oh, is everyone here for

(52:34):
my you know, my, my, you know mymerchandise and this this and
that starts talking mad shit andthat and I'm like right below
him and I'm like, I wonder if I could throw a dagger in his
head, you know, because you never know of what you can do
when you have like, you know, the introduction to an enemy you
have to kill usually have to do this stupid thing just to go get
to him. And I just throw the shit right
in his head and he falls like right on top of the balcony

(52:55):
railing and he says he's mid sentence and he.
Just I. Was fucking dying I.
Was like, Nah, did you see you do it?
They said Oh my God, and everyone's like, oh crazy.
It's the reaction of the crowd. It's almost like AGTA kinda
'cause you could pickpocket everybody and it's unlimited.
You could pick up anybody. Some people notice though.
If you do it wrong, you know, you know when the shadow of

(53:17):
Mordor, when you're the you haveto time it correctly.
Yeah, it's the same thing with the pickpocket.
Yeah. So you fucked it up.
Yeah, I've not it up yet, thoughI fucked it up a few times.
But like thief, it's like, I don't know what you got to do
about bitch stop right there. Then you're in a but I love that
that they heavily because I think the last three games they
kind of veered away from the stuff and it was all heavily on

(53:40):
combat. This. 1.
This one is like, I'm going to say 75% of itself.
Yeah, there is action, but it's like they they don't reward you
for fighting. Yeah.
It's like if you're surrounded by three people, you might be
able to Polish them off. But if it's four to five, get
the fuck out of it. Exactly.
Because it's real, right. And, you know, I think they have

(54:01):
like, a parry. If you, you know, time it right,
it leads into a death kill of them.
And that actually feels dope. I love this.
But yeah, looking at it, no, I Ilove, I love this.
It's just they brought back the simplicity of it on how easy it
is to kill people. But at the same time, when
you're caught, you're in danger,you're in legit danger.

(54:21):
So you got to really like Turbo wouldn't be good at this game
because he's not he's not a step.
We saw him. You're very impatient.
I beat you in the. All right, I've beaten it.
I've beaten you in the. Now these are.
This is fun man. How's the combat?
How's the fight? That's good.
It is good. Does it feel?
Simple. Does it feel like you and me?
Does it feel like Syndicate doesn't feel like?

(54:42):
Yeah, it's its own thing, but itdoesn't really feel like any of
them. Yeah, it's its own thing.
It's its own thing. Yeah, if you're fighting more
than two people or actually, yeah, two or three people, it's
like, yeah, don't even, they don't even think about it.
They did that something from Odyssey, like the first thing I
unlocked just because it's just a funny thing to have in the
game is the Spartan kick so. Like that's still in it.

(55:04):
If I'm on a roof and I parry I could hit Y right after and I
boot them and they go flying offthe building.
I mean that's beautiful. Never get boring.
They'll have. One of the best moves in the US.
Actually my favorite thing to doin this game is kill someone on
the roof and you throw him off the roof in front of a crowd of
people. Yep.
And seeing how everyone's like, Oh my God, what the fuck?
The body just laying there like this, you know, I like murdering

(55:27):
innocent people and then gettinglike running like in GTA,
running away from the cops. See, that's the dagger.
That's what I'd basically do. And I didn't.
See that I would usually save before doing it and just go see
how we see how we she's throwingthe dagger here.
That's how I caught the dude in the head while he was on the
balcony. Oh man, it was like.
All I got to say is wait till you upgrade your your moves and

(55:51):
you get new abilities and then also you upgrade your your
weapons and stuff like that. Man it's I just want to go back
to Co-op man. That's the only thing missing
from this game. That's the only thing missing
turbos Like if it had Co-op likein like in unity or or just in
general if they added it that this then people maybe would be
talking about turbos. Like I hope they get rid of the
stealth. No, I want I want the stealth.

(56:13):
No, Odyssey is tough to get through because of its lack of
focus on stealth. You could try to stealth
something. They catch you so quickly, they
catch you so easily. This is Assassin's Creed.
Look at that. This is Assassin's Creed.
What's up, Wilmer? Wilmer, what's going?
On but yeah, I love that game, though.
So far, so good. Seven at 7 1/2 hours in.
I just want to find the the pathetic people and just kill

(56:36):
them. The enemies are so pathetic.
There's that one target I told you about.
Oh yeah, I'm when you get to that.
Oh my God, it's epic. I laugh so freaking hard, man, I
can't wait. But yeah, that is it, man.
That's three weeks of games played, man.
And I actually played a new game.
I had to put a hold on IUD in Chronicles.
Where? Just too much.

(56:57):
It's too much, too much, too much, man.
It's too much. It's a lot of I'll get back to
it, but it's just too much. All righty.
So in that case, we are ready toannounce the Indie Game of the
Week. Oh shit, here we go.
And the indie game of the week is.
Sniper Clips released March 3rd,2017.

(57:21):
Developed by SFB Games, published by Nintendo.
Available on the Nintendo Switch.
Yeah, I like them. Sniper clip.
She's one of the earliest Nintendo games we played.
Yeah, on the Switch. Is this a launch title?
Around there. It was very close.
It's very close. To not launch it was very close.

(57:41):
I know they had plus afterwards,which was just like an extended
version. This is a funny game, man.
Interesting. It's a funny game.
It's like a it's the weirdest puzzle game I've ever played.
Co-op puzzle game. Well, you wouldn't think it was
Nintendo. Yeah, all the looks of it.
Yeah. But then again, they have some
weird stuff. Look at that, I forgot about
this. You have to like figure out the

(58:04):
objective basis. This was new though.
This is on plus. This is a new shit, yeah.
This was normal stuff actually. That's new too.
Wait. That's the oh, I have this plus.
Oh, I have the plus. Yeah, yeah.
I thought this was. I didn't know there was that
many. Barriers.
This is an extended cut. I mean, listen, it's the better
version. They look the same.
Yeah, it's the same graphic. Yeah, but anyway, this game is

(58:26):
dope. Yeah, it's one of the first
Co-op games you put on the Switch to.
Yeah. Look at that.
Yeah, it's so. Funny, I Remember Remember the
basketball 1. You have this.
It's a different thought process.
You had to cut like a scoop or whatever in the Yeah, those are
the other levels, I guess. About to say 12 players no.
I guess we're showing different levels.

(58:47):
What 4 players? No, I forgot this was this four
players. I didn't know that this was four
players. I.
Think the new version was yeah. Oh shoot, my brain would.
Hurt. Well, you got.
Let's say the scoop on the top. That's just hilarious.
This this game, I want to actually play it again now.
Dude, I didn't know this was four players man.
For real. Yeah, they got a lot of stuff in
it too. Might have to do it.

(59:08):
Oh shit, they got hockey in it too.
Wow. And four player hockey, 4 player
hockey. Look at that, you cut each
other, yo. The basketball was fun.
But this gets more points for usnow because.
Yeah, no it. Had that mode.
Dude, I didn't even know they had that well.
We played it multiplayer, two players and it was fine then,

(59:29):
but just thinking 4 players is kind of wow.
All right, Seriously. Yeah, if you like, if you like
puzzle games, definitely check it out.
If you have a friend or three other friends apparently,

Is that a new one? Pollo pollo Tetris too.
It's not the new one. It's basically a port.
But you're collecting. Yeah, I'm collecting Tetris, so
yeah. You have no choice.
Yeah, you have no choice. And he hates 40 bucks added in

(01:03:03):
there though. How much?
They didn't have the point of poll in there.
I don't. You can play it without you.
Can play it without it. Yeah, you can play without it.
I didn't know how much I didn't like Pollo Pollo until late in
the game. Then that that version has a
which is crazy to play a Tetris game that has a storyline.
No, like a whole story mode, like a like an elaborate story.
Yeah, it's nonsense, but it's it's hilarious to play a Tetris

(01:03:25):
game where you're like, what? For real A.
Whole Tetris storyline. But anyway, we are back and I
think we're ready. Is it?
I think it's time is. It time yet guys.

Oh God. Yes, it is.
Oh. God, man, is it.
Yes, yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is time for the.
News. I hate that that the cut short

(01:04:16):
because of my voice. You can't even hear it in the
song. You know what's the worst?
That's just. Kev's stupid face, he makes me.
Right out. Just like this it's.
Not out of my face, guys. Know what I want?
I want a water. Balloon Warrior wears my
warrior. Wears water balloon or pie.
That's midway third. Isn't it?
Boom boom boom something. It's I think it's a moth, I

(01:04:36):
think. Well, he's trying to ruin the
news. He's trying to ruin the news.
The news? All right, what do we got here?
Let's get it started. What we got, what we got.
PS Plus, Xbox Game Pass, they'renot the future of gaming, says
someone. Listen, I don't like giving the
analysts any credit because damn, listen, I can look at the

(01:04:59):
past and based the feature on the past.
I could look at numbers and based the feature on numbers.
That's basically what we do. But that's their title.
They're an episode. They're an.
Analyst based on what I'm seeinghere I can try and guess the
future. OK but what they're saying is
that PS plus and Xbox game pass aren't the future of gaming

(01:05:22):
according to Xbox. I think they beg to differ
because they have put all their like everything in one basket
and it's all Game Pass. And I mean, if you're looking at
the past, yeah, you can say thatit won't be the end all be all
of what the gaming industry is. It'll be a choice.

(01:05:44):
I mean, as much as they want to make it only rental, I I can see
a future where that happens. It's not a good one, and
hopefully it's not a success because I don't want that to
happen. But you can't stop the
inevitable. Just like, oh, I want C DS, I
want tapes. I want this, that, that.
Like, it might not happen that way, but a choice is a choice

(01:06:06):
based on money. Yeah, you need games because you
need games for these things to work.
And Xbox seems to be hitting outthe park right now with the
games they're getting because ittook them long enough to build
this up and it takes a long timeto make good games be available
in this and the like monthly. If you look at what's coming up
for the Xbox, it's kind of astonishing what they have in

(01:06:29):
Xbox Game Pass now, PlayStation Plus, they did choose to do it a
different way. And their first party titles are
still for sale and not in their PlayStation Plus bracket, which
is probably why they're making more money that way, because you
still got to buy those games before they hit the PS Plus.
And those prices are going up and up and up.

(01:06:50):
So that's probably why it's not sustainable because they're just
going to keep charging more, butthe more games they add to it,
they do. Discount it when you when you
have the. Well, no.
PS Plus the game, yes. I'm saying if you're going to,
if you plan on buying the game and you have PS Plus, you do get
discounts on the. Same with Game Pass.
You get discounts, yeah, but whotakes advantage of that?
Really. Some people do, people do.
But The thing is, if PlayStationadded those first party games to

(01:07:13):
it, I don't know how much would hurt their sales, especially if
they're charging 80 bucks they. Are against that they're against
that day one release stuff on their.
Yeah, that might be the going plan if that works better, which
I'm not against, but yeah, if I'm just if I just have
PlayStation Plus, then I'm against it because I just want
to buy their new stuff when it comes out.

(01:07:35):
But you know, I haven't followedthe actual money making process
of what Game Pass have been doing lately.
I just know they boosted like itcost more.
Oh yeah, they raise the price ofeverything.
Yeah, they raise the price everytwo months now.
Yeah. And it's probably going to go up
higher. Yeah, yeah.
I mean, when they get more studios and shoot more games
added to the service, of course they're going to.

(01:07:56):
Get you a year now, right? Get your two years now if you
can. Right.
Seriously. But yeah, even the discounts you
used to be able to find, you can't get those no more.
That's what's so. They want to control it, they
want to control it. And the only thing that sucks
about those services and why I'magainst it being the end all be
all of how the gaming industry is run is because you don't own
any of it. Yep.

(01:08:16):
But we'll talk more about that later, yeah.
But one particular point that the analyst was trying to make.
I'm the analyst now. One of the reasons why I said
that the streaming services don't seem like they're going to
be the future is because the years after 2020-2021 growth has

(01:08:38):
been flat as far as you know, adding new subscribers to the
service. Listen, Game Pass saw a little
bit of a growth in a quarter four thanks to Call of Duty, but
it's pretty much been flat and people still like buying.
Talk about it since Call of Duty.
Don't talk about from 2021 because there were no games.
No, the years after that, four years, but whatever.

(01:08:59):
No games. So my after pandemic, there were
no games. There was three games on Game
Pass that people cared about. No, that doesn't count.
Well, let me doesn't count. Let.
Me see what he says about. Now.
True. Talk about after they bought.
Actors. He's an analyst.
No, but PS plus. No but check it out though.
PS plus yeah it's remained flat also as well as game pass.

(01:09:21):
They both. Are there flat no question about
PS plus because they don't give new games?
Well, that, yeah, well, that, that I guess that highlights a
limitation with this subscription services.
That's the different place, yeah.
But even when there is, even within Game Passes, you know
Game Passes case where you put anew game on day one available,
their growth numbers haven't really been that big of a deal.

(01:09:43):
PlayStation hardware numbers, their hardware numbers have been
the same as Play S4. It's been successful.
It's still going the same route exactly as PS4 right now.
So you don't hear PlayStation talking about PS Plus No,
they're still selling hard. They.
Don't give a shit about. Xbox is talking about game pass
because they don't care about the hardware.
Everything's an Xbox. They plan on getting more people
by adding PC to the mix and thathasn't happened yet.

(01:10:05):
So these analysts are looking atthe past where that didn't
happen. We have an Xbox representative
here. Chocolate.
No, we don't. Please.
What's the point? Would you like to comment?
What do you analyze on the Xbox Sir?
I analyze that the Xbox will no longer have first party games
because they're giving all theirshit away to PlayStation.
So I'm. Gears of War coming to
PlayStation. It has happened, y'all, It's

(01:10:26):
happened. Shut up, it's been announced.
Exclusive intro from Xbox Insider Man, I'm.
Not tell version on PlayStation not.
Not Xbox, no Microsoft. This is next articles.
What a segue, love. No, it's great.
What's this next? It's like, I don't like this.

(01:10:47):
I'm not liking this subject. No, no, it's just really
frustrating because I used to belike, like, you know how
exclusives breed competition, and now we no longer have
exclusives like we have Halo. But when we get in the next Halo
game and when is it going to be released fully?
Is it going to have the multiple?
You know what I mean? Jlo say what?
It's infinite. So that's the last one.
It's going to keep on going forever.

(01:11:08):
Stop it live service, stop it live, stop it for the live
service is next. And it'll be for everything.
It won't be an exclusive. Oh yeah, and Forza Horizons on
on PlayStation as well. It's like.
Yeah, that's right. That's actually perfect.
That's actually perfect. It's so.
Annoying, that's. What's going on in Chuck's head?

(01:11:30):
It's like, yeah, it's like, yeah, like, honestly, like
PlayStation did not need Forza Horizon because they had Gran
Turismo. I mean granted Forza Horizon 5
is is like. It's totally different.
It's more, it's more arcady driving, but it's like we're all
like. That's an Xbox game.
It was an Xbox. Game before we right before we
move into the next movies. What's funny is, and I was like,

(01:11:51):
I'm glad I kept my Xbox because all these Game Pass games, I
needed to play that on and I waslike clear Expedition 33.
I was like, I needed to play that.
I was playing on Xbox. And then I was like, let me
check it out on my PC and I downloaded it on the PC and I
played it on ultra wide screen on my PC.
And I was like, I didn't. I didn't really need my series

(01:12:11):
for this. You know what else is good about
that? They raised the price of all
their hardware. But we got told.
I mean, I'm just saying like, yes.
So if you want to, you know, make some money, man I.
Thought that certain games, I mean I'm sure they are certain
games, are only on the on the Xbox series but I have yet to
find one that's all there. Yeah, what's this next article?

(01:12:32):
All right, next article. Hell, Divers 2 CEO says you'll
your pants over what's coming down the.
Pipe, you'll shit your pants, I beeped.
Myself. For a.
Reason. Nah, we don't do that here.
Because it's beep there. Now we don't do that.
Listen, what is it, 6 players? Now listen, Number stop.

(01:12:55):
I don't know what they're going to add.
Imagine. Better be that.
'D be awesome. He said they're gearing up for
some news. The new update I believe is the
end of this month. The exact date, I think I heard
the 20th, but I don't know the exact date.
But end of this month, they're gearing up for something that
apparently will make you shit your pants.
That's fucking cool. Hopefully it's out of excitement

(01:13:16):
and not being scared. Yes.
Well, they don't really tell youwhat that actually is, but they
say that we have a good way of seeing how live service is and
they wanna implement new things to it and they this stuff out
obviously, and they think that it's going to be great.
I hope that, I really hope they start adding like, more than
four players, man. Yeah, you think it's time?

(01:13:37):
You need more than 4. I mean, if they can add time, if
they can add more players or at least one or at least one new
player or two. If they had a, if they made it a
solid 6 player, I think 6 is a solid.
That'll be interesting. Solid number.
That would be awesome. If they figured that out, that
would be interesting. We can play with a guest.
But then again, if they did thatthey would probably battle
royal. Oh no, that would change the

(01:13:58):
game dude. Exactly, that would change the
game. Please don't let this new ground
breaking thing be battle Royale.Imagine if that's Oh my God,
players and then like you, you could actually like unlock a
mech where you all control yes, yes, like you're the you're the
right gun on the left gun someone.
You know, it's like almost like Voltron or some shit.
That would that be fucking incredible.
I'm like, what was that? Catastronauts where we have to

(01:14:19):
go like they have something likethat where you have to control
the ship and you know, and then tell divers how they have like
the the stupid things they have to do, like the the up, up,
down, down, right. That'd.
Be awesome, their production director said.
The more we figure out how to thrive in a live environment, we
still have a way to go to figureout a lot of things around that,

(01:14:41):
but the more that we can let thecreativity loose on the new
systems that we would have neverthought about a year ago when we
released. Let me see, he told IGN, I've
worked on live games before, andit's where you feel like you're
having something you can figure out.
What if I can do this cool thingI've never seen in other games
adapted to our sauce that makes it true to ourselves?

(01:15:04):
So. And he said he's looking forward
to the moment. I mean, those are big words, so
I hope it's like. I hope they're not hyping it up
and it's some I. Hope it's not like oh you get a
new suit. Yeah, like a skin.
Yeah, yeah. I was like, we have ninja suits
now. Remember when?
Remember when Sega hyped up thatone that one time and it was
what humankind kind? I was.

(01:15:26):
Like dude. What I mean, listen, Sega always
did. Oh, when they have Game Gear,
yeah. Yeah, they have a.
Game of your mini. I was the one of the worst.
Can't even see. Yeah, well, you got a magnifying
glass of people. Yeah, Yeah.
Would you have to buy? It's PS five, you know, worthy
type skill. That's how big it is.
With the console. Fucking guy.
But they have me, they have me intrigued on what it might be.

(01:15:47):
I really hope that it's that we added additional players.
They said we couldn't think of the scope when we first came
out, so maybe they figured out how to add new people.
I hope so man, please. It'll be dope.
Crossing my fingers, I hope theydo figure this out.
Or maybe some like story narrative or something that just
pulls the game together more. I'm all for that.
Well, bizarre, says more players.

(01:16:09):
And Star Wars collapsed. But see, that would be amazing.
You know what that would actually maybe have like some
stormtrooper outfits and shit like that.
Mandalorian outfits easily. Easily.
I just hope that the announcement isn't outfits.
Yeah. Oh God, me too.
Or collab if that's it, I don't want to collab.
Yeah. Wait, do they have jet packs in
the game or no? Yes, Yeah they do.
Yes, jet packs, yeah, yeah, I did it.

(01:16:30):
I shot and died. They.
Got jet packs when you went up and just.
Yes, I did it. Bet I did.
It's a one time and I just malfunctioned and died.
They got mixed too. Like real life.
Like real life, if you got a jetpack you would just die.
Well, you remember the commercial he has the guy
getting tangled in the power line.
That's exactly what fucking happened.
Man was going in a suit going, the word got.

(01:16:51):
Tangled best. Commercial 10 seconds that.
Was GEICO right? Think so?
Yeah, this. Shit was amazing.
The best commercial all the time.
Yeah, so you'll check it. I got there.
I'll see you later. I'm going to work.
OK, You cooked. Yeah, I hope.
I hope. Yeah, be Mandalorian.
I'd be pretty dope if they. Yeah, that'd be all right.
Dope, Dope collab. This is the way The.

(01:17:14):
Collabo. Would you shit your pants
though? I mean.
If they make it more than four players, yeah, probably, yeah.
Yeah, I would also, yeah. If it meant that we had
multiplayer like that, I would shit my pants.
I would. I would clean up.
I'd have to have you. Guys, got your shitting.
Pants though, Well they said youhad to play the game.
Shitty pants. To play with shitty pants.

(01:17:36):
And that's one of the new skins,the new skins.
Shit pants you got around with. Diapers.
Come on man. That'll be up.
Oh, if it was April, oh man, I'dbe like, dude, that would be the
foulest. April first.
Oh. Man.
Run around with diapers on you. Shit your pants.
It'd be great if they shadow dropped it also.

(01:17:59):
They shitty dropped it. Well, they dropped some shit.
They dropped the. Shit, let's drop some shit.
Shit. Drop.
Oh man. Anyway, damn, anything else to
say about this? No, no, we're.
The next All right. We can't top that.
Can't top. Shitting pants.
Can't top that shit. Some nice can't top that shit.

(01:18:21):
Some good Ubisoft news for once.There's no such things there.
Wow. Ubisoft fires half the staff,
not no. That's not the fucking news.
That's Microsoft. It's only 3%.
Audio listeners like. What?
No, Ubisoft drops heavy hints ofa Prince of Persia, the Lost

(01:18:42):
Crown sequel. That's that would be very, very
beneficial because that game wasincredible.
Wow. Yes, I got a few.
They put up a post that said 2 billion players and they
congratulated them and they soldan extraordinary 1.3 million
copies. Nice.
I'm glad something did well. And actually, you know, there's
talk of a sequel for once. Yes, now that there's no studio

(01:19:04):
to actually collect on the moneymade from the sales they want,
they want to shout it out because Ubisoft gets all of the
money. Damn I don't know how that works
actually. Hopefully they get paid from.
Yeah, right. How's that work?
Like, oh, Fire Studio, but the game keeps selling, so we're
going to take that. Yeah.
Takes very take that, take that very highly rated, very fun game
that should it get nominated foralmost.
It got nominated for something. I it had to have gotten like

(01:19:26):
almost game of the year or. Something like I mentioned in
like 2 or 3 categories. That's great.
This game is fucking great. I'm sure other award shows had
it in the category for Game of the Year, but it was one of
those games and I played throughthis.
It was. One of those top five Metro
Avenio all time. I remember looking through
looking through Steam the other day and I was just looking at
the the reviews of this game andit's like it's crazy.

(01:19:49):
A lot of people were like so good.
This is the top. This is like in my top 10
Metrovania easily. Like this is in my top 10.
Top 10 or top five? A lot of people were saying the
same shit. But I mean, they said from the
post, it said you revive the legend.
And on you we saw on social media it said the Prince is
back. And believe us, he's just

(01:20:09):
warming up. So what?
Not that. Wow.
Formerly known as Yeah. But no, the symbol yes, imagine
if that was a skin Jesus. It's a symbol running that every
Prince, every Prince of Persia skin in the game though.
Basically I sound off the old original 1, the classic one with

(01:20:30):
the the. That the rogue one with the
purple face which is weird. Yeah, yeah, they had that and
they had. The other that was.
Good, like Prince. No, I mean like on the on that
as a costume in this game lookedweird.
Oh, I bet, I bet, Yeah. But that's the.
One with the turbine. I want to see that in this game.
The old the old school ones thatjust MC Hammer pants.

(01:20:51):
Yeah, I don't think I saw that, so I don't know if it's in
there, but that game's awesome. Do you think they were talking
about this game in particular orthey just talking Prince of
Persia? Because they're doing the Sands
of Time remake still, and I don't know how long that still
has. I think it's this.
It has to be this. This is the like the best thing
they made. It's their most successful
Prince of. Persia, it will be something.
Is it? And they won three.

(01:21:12):
Well, so like lately. Some more than Mega Man.
Not didn't, no, but it's close. Lately.
Lately, it's like their most successful property.
Well, it's their most praised. Yeah, it's their most praised
because Ubisoke gets a lot of hate.
Yeah. You know, is it worth it?
You know, I don't know if those other games are worth the hate,
but I mean, this one got rave reviews and then they killed it

(01:21:32):
because it was 2D and it didn't sell right away.
So good. But then they dropped the price
to like $15.00, so of course it sold.
Yeah, everybody bought this after the.
Fact. I blame Ubisoft connect, that's
what killed it for Steam for me personally.
I blame Ubisoft for dropping theprice so low and you knew they
were going to do it. They do.
Yeah, I remember. Yeah.
We're like, I'll just wait. It's going to drop to 20.

(01:21:53):
Yeah, I said Black Friday. It's going to be 20 or less, so
I'll wait till then. I was part of problem.
I mean you're not alone. I bought this shit physical for
20. Yeah, we all bought it 25.
We all bought it after the fact.Right.
Well, it started. 30-40 bucks it.
Was 40. It was 40.
Wow. It was up there.
And of course it's. Worth. 40 bucks easily right?
But I. I want it for 20, though.

(01:22:14):
But we knew it was going to dropand it was like, I don't want to
wait for something to fail before I buy it, right?
But unfortunately, it was they they, they did it such a short
time. It was crazy.
Yeah, they should have at least waited.
It was like wasn't even before Black Friday when it.
I don't even know. I don't know.
Because it wasn't 20 of Black Friday, so it might have been
before then. I don't remember that's.

(01:22:35):
That's yeah. But yeah, everybody finally saw
and gave it his props. After the fact, so.
Good back man. Characters are dope.
So I don't know, Hopefully somebody gets that team back and
they make an actual sequel to this because they did a
phenomenal job. That's great what they had.
Yeah, did. You ever what if the the team
that made no, I mean, did you play it?

(01:22:56):
Yeah, I played like 5 hours. That's it.
That's it. Yeah.
You know, when it gets too tough, he doesn't play.
Anything, like I said, he's got,he's got 10 / 10 games as he
started. He'd never.
Been there. He's a messenger.
He can't do that. No.
So I beat. The Messenger before you and I
played that like years. Later.
It's not a difficult thing. I can't find those.
Notes Cyber Shadow. I beat that.
Yeah, I looked that shit up, dude.
That's what I did. I couldn't find the notes

(01:23:17):
either. I fucking looked that shit.
Up Hollow Knight. First, there was definitely one
note in the message I needed to find.
I was like that man. We.
We going online for this? I got no time to waste.
Yeah, all right, on to the next.But yeah, I don't know.
I don't know if that's going to be Prince of Persia since the
time or not, but we'll see. Hope so.
Yeah, let's see. We shouldn't be surprised GTA 6

(01:23:38):
was delayed. Yeah, Rockstar has a long
history of doing just that. I wasn't surprised at all.
Yeah, same. As I was gonna ask, were you
surprised? I was actually more relieved.
I have a Co worker who just plays these games.
He likes he likes, you know, theRed Dead Redemption.
Same. And he was like, I I like this
is before it was delayed. He was like, I can't wait.
It's coming out. Well, I said, dude, it's gonna

(01:24:00):
be delayed. He's like, what makes you say
that? I'm like, because I know I just
have a feeling it's Grand Theft.And then I see him at work the
other day I said, how you feeling?
He's like, don't fucking talk. Oh, you.
Have to understand. I'm like, I didn't delay it.
Yeah, people, people have been waiting for this game since the
PS3. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's almost PS
Six times. Yeah.

(01:24:20):
Unfortunately. Ten years in development.
That's insane. I don't know if it was the
development percent, but it was.It's over a decade before the
last game came. You know, messed up not to cut
you off, but they, they showed atrailer and they deleted.
It's like. Yeah, they.
Show. Like came out the day after.
Yeah, the day after the day justto just to twist the knife in
the back. Like damn, just to twist the

(01:24:41):
knife? They tried to change it from
the. This is the bad news.
Now we got some good news. Here's what it looks like.
Yeah but they still didn't show like in game gameplay.
But you think gameplay, you think remember the what was it 2
years ago when that remember that leak that happened?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You think you think that had to
do with it? Maybe I.
Didn't see anything of it. No, no, I don't think I had
anything to do with it. I would delay games on purpose
if it gets if stuff like that gets I mean.

(01:25:03):
I. Mean just to be petty.
Spider Man and Wolverine, that'sanother story.
Maybe because those games are actually a playable right and on
the PC like hacked to death so who knows what they changed
there. But this hype for this game is
crazy dude. It's on another scale, dude.
I saw a post where the guy said he had a picture of his baby
with the background with with part 5 with part 5 and then he's

(01:25:26):
pointing at his daughter like yoI've been waiting.
His daughter was a teenager bro.My God.
I've been waiting for this game and they delayed it.
She's going to be graduating. Not for real.
It's crazy. I also have a Co worker that's
upset. Like an infant.
New kid. Yes.

(01:25:47):
Yeah, anyone born I got. A High School graduate before I
got GTA6. Crazy but but let me tell you
this though, I'd rather them like they always delay it.
They've never had a game come out on time when it comes to
this this scale. I'd rather they don't come out
with the game with massive bugs because that will destroy your

(01:26:10):
they'll. Destroy that shit.
And they can't wait to destroy agame that has massive bugs in
it. No matter what it is, if there's
one screen of a person with no face, anything is over.
Yeah, it's over. It's.
Scrutinized. I wonder how long the credits
are going to be when it's beaten.
Dude, this credit's going to be it's.
Going to be 3 hours dude. It's going to be a credit's
going to be part. Seven, I remember.

(01:26:32):
What was it back in 2015 around there?
I remember reading an article, just a random freaking article
online about a casting call for voice actors for the next GTA
game. Oh yeah, yeah, I never forgot
that, man. And then I never could find that
shit again. Like what?
I just forgot to bookmark it. I could, I could.

(01:26:53):
I was acting for that. There's no old it.
Was crazy. They were having an old dude
somewhere. They were holding it up.
They were holding the auditions in Manhattan, in the city.
I I missed my opportunity. Imagine the old dude in the
strip club. That's that's the role I could
play. I pretty well knows it on my
lap. I have $100 bill.
OK. Right.
Man, what the hell? Jesus, very convincing thank.

(01:27:16):
You so right into right into character.
We think that's what you soundedlike in the strip club now.
It's me in a strip club. Hail pretty, but do you
understand that GTA5, the ones that we've been seeing for all
these years, was on PS3? It's crazy.
Like that's where the graphics were.
Obviously they enhanced it, but it's still based on PS debris.
It's 60 frames now in the newer systems, right?

(01:27:39):
So people, it's 120 frames way past that.
But listen, people are people saw the trailer and they were
like, I don't even believe that's real.
There's so many people who are like, I think that those are
fake shots because they look toogood and they like you're basing
it off of what you saw in Five and Saints Row, Like these games

(01:28:02):
aren't the same caliber, but as what you're looking at right
now. But that's over 3 generations of
development, you know what I mean?
And that's why it looks so cinematic.
That's why it looks so goddamn good.
I mean, is it hard to believe? Yes.
But it's not. It's not hard.
It's not questionable like I andthat's what it looks like.
That's what it. Looks like and they said the

(01:28:23):
entire trailer was done in in game. 5 Not even PS Pro.
That was PS Five, Yeah. And everybody's like, it's going
to be 30 frames. Whatever, look how good the God
damn game looks. Kev's like I'm not.
Touching it. But he said, but Pro Pro might
run it over PC later. We'll run it at 60, whatever.
Probably run it 60. I think it's come.
Out thousands of dollars to do that.

(01:28:43):
But he said APS Pro plays it at 60 and nothing else does.
That's going to be a lot of sales for the PlayStation Pro.
A lot of sales, so. I think it'll be 60 on the XI.
Think it'll? Be 60.
You think that the game industryis going to fail now because
Gtas are coming out this year like some people swear?
Or do you think that these companies are happy that it's

(01:29:03):
not coming out? Or you think that they're mad
because they delayed their game to come out later because of it?
Nah. Man, it's hard to tell they're
salivating. Man.
It's coming. Salivating.
Whoa, are they going to come outwith stuff early and unfinished?
Because this is not out yet. Well, yeah, whoever's releasing
this year is happy. Whoever's got something still
cooking and they can't release this year, they're like, fuck.

(01:29:23):
Well, there's rumors that GTA that Rockstar's coming out with
GTA4 remake this year. They're. 4 remake, yeah.
Wow. 4 Remake. Because this is pushed back
bruh. But yeah.
I was astounded by the trailer trailers though.
Yeah, it looks ridiculous. It's like a movie.
Yeah, the game's going to be a cinematic masterpiece.

(01:29:45):
It's just hard to believe the world, not the character.
It's hard to believe the world behind them.
Like they sell bubbles in the soda.
It was crazy. And question when when did the?
When is the new release date? May of 2026. 2026 May 26/20/20.
Six, yeah, we got one more summer left, Y'all?
We got one more summer left, yeah?
We can be. Human beings.

(01:30:05):
Another question about this game, do you think that they're
going to charge a ridiculous amount for the game?
$100. I think you think so.
Absolutely, yeah. I'll tell you why I don't
believe so, yeah. No one cares.
Wow, rude, rude, I will tell you.
I will tell you, I don't think it'll be $100, not not the

(01:30:27):
standard version. I think there'll be multiple
versions and if it comes with whatever Shark bucks or whatever
they got or an online component,maybe they that will be 100 as
an extra thing. But there's standard game
that'll get you to the online thing I believe will be standard
price. Whether that be if it's 607080,
who knows. Yeah, whatever the industry

(01:30:49):
standard price is, I can kind ofagree with that $120.00.
Yeah. No, no, no.
Why? I think this is the Trojan
horse. Listen how GTA worked was it's a
game that was a Trojan horse to get you to buy things monthly in
the game online. That's how they tested out the
waters with the GTA Online, yeah.
GTA. 5,000,000 a day with that, they're not trying to get people
not buying the game to begin with.

(01:31:10):
They'll still buy it for $100. No, I'm not saying that, but I'm
saying the majority to get everyone to play it.
I don't think they're going to charge the most price right
away. I think they're going to charge
a price so you can get into it. I think they could still get
away with charging a lot becausethey could, but they don't have
a they don't have a history. Rockstar doesn't have a history
of over greedy, overcharging people.

(01:31:30):
They they all their games, they're normal.
They always, in the words of industry, standing in the words
of Yoda, they will they. Can they?
Will I mean they can. They can.
They will they. Can.
But I don't think it's to their best interest to a. 100 bucks
yeah, I'll say this I'll say this.
I don't think they'll do it, butif they did, I wouldn't be
surprised. I wouldn't be surprised and I'd

(01:31:52):
probably buy it anyway. That's that's that's the it'll.
Be 6999 when it comes out. Listen, the Game 55 has been in
the top ten since it came out, yeah.
And now it's in the top 10 now, yeah.
I have a Co worker. You know.
I like 4 better than 5. I didn't.
Oh I love 4/4 I think was. Very I love 5.
People hate on I don't know, 5. 5 is awesome, but to me there

(01:32:13):
was a lot of dead spots and I'm like, I want to turn this shit
off right now. I play.
I mean, what's fun? Yeah.
Just like I'm like driving. There was a couple of spots I
was like you making me do these stupid ass jobs.
I liked 4A lot and I think, I think what and I'm sure Rockstar
was experimenting the the DLC for four.
I beat all all the the two extraDLCS.

(01:32:34):
It's basically what they wanted to do with five before they did
5, because you're playing as three different characters.
Yeah, with the DLCS. So Part 5 is basically the is
that, but it's broken up. You know, it's you swap out, you
know, from character to character as in four.
It's like a whole separate game.You know, you have the main game

(01:32:56):
with Nico, whatever, and then you have the other two games.
Are you ready for? I feel like we're gonna.
Have a backlash? I feel like we're gonna have a
Grand Theft. As a realist, No, As a as a
topic. Oh, yeah.
Oh. Yeah, yeah, as.
A He's just gonna, I'm just gonna stay off social media when
it comes out and died of it. Well, social media isn't real.
Yeah, I think everybody's gonna be playing the game.

(01:33:18):
Not not being. I don't think the summer will be
shut down for it though. But like when they said, oh,
when it comes out other games better watch out.
I'm like, dude, we're going to play this for a week and then
there's going to be other games.People don't just play one game
anymore and let some people do. Attention spans are very low.
Yeah, it's not going to shut down the summer.
Other other games can come out. Yeah, like the same day.

(01:33:39):
It'll be fine. They'll just buy both.
I mean, I don't know, imagine you have a imagine having a game
released the same day. Oh no, that was.
A big problem? I don't know man.
No, it was a big. Problem I don't know.
That's why it was scary. If I was a developer and I was
releasing my game and then come to find out that shit's coming.
Out dude. The only game that can compete
is a Zelda Mario. That's it true.
That's it. True.

(01:34:00):
Saints Row. Saints Row.
That's true. Wow.
Yeah, that. I would be scared if there was a
Saints Row that comes out the same day.
Just that shit. Then you're done.
Ruined Saints. Row I used to love.
Saints Row, I wasn't, but that'swhat they they don't want that
to happen with this. If they came out with a buggy
ass game like Saints Row and it's GTA 6, I was like, dude,
fail big time. Like the like the remakes, yeah,

(01:34:21):
when it first came out, I know that wasn't Rockstar.
Yeah, but if it came out like that dude with long arms on the
bike, like, Nope. No, no, that game, that game
needs to be flawless when it drops.
I have. Not one.
Glue. The more time the better, but
not another 10 years please. I have faith in Rockstar that
they're going to come out, release the game polished
because they don't have a track record of.

(01:34:42):
No games. What is the only game from them?
Yeah, exactly. No, but everything that even
that freaking What was it? That ping pong table tennis
game? Yeah, and it was by Rockstar
that I had for Xbox 360. That's good.
Even that was good. And it was polished.
Yeah. You wouldn't think a freaking
ping pong game would be much fun.
They made a ping pong game that's hilarious.
I'll wait for red Dead mode in GTA6.

(01:35:05):
You just buy the hat and the whole game changes.
The whole game changes. It's a freaking DLC.
Yeah, right there. A whole new Red Dead within the
game. What we got?
That'll be 120 bucks. Yeah, one more news.
One more article here 1. More.
Thing. One more thing.
It's very fast, yes. So Sega has announced Gandalf

(01:35:26):
will be in virtual fight. Gandalf, how does that work?
That's my main. Bro well dude, that.
Doesn't even work. They announce what his name is.
Wolf Hawk. Wolf Hawk.
Kevy's joking, yeah. Please.
Gandalf is like you, it looks like.
Just look at his face. He looks like Gandalf, Yeah, a

(01:35:48):
lot like him. Like a very hyper realistic.
He wouldn't look like this on Nintendo.
I like the new I like the new design of Wolf.
Virtual fighter upgrade He's thewrestler from.
He was very just bland. His design was very bland.
As were most characters in virtual, yeah.
They were all very bland. Look at that entrance spell.
So they're all getting a nice little remake, which is dope.

(01:36:10):
I mean, this is all they showed.Yeah, they're.
Real though, he does look like a.
Bit Oh, he is. That is him.
That shit looks just like added.That's that's freaking
hilarious. Oh no, he's dope.
He's dope looking now. Yo, it's Canada, but.
Everybody wishes that they showed a little more, a little
more. People want what they want.
A little more of the game, but they announced more for Virtual

(01:36:32):
Fighter Five that that's coming out for every.
System I feel like the new virtual fighter is just going to
be like be quiet. You're not going to hear shit
for maybe. 2. Probably two more years.
Most. Likely a year or two at.
Least yeah, cuz that what they're trying to do from that
little clip that they showed of the fighting, if that's what
they're trying to do. Most of that.
Yeah, if they're trying to do something around that area, it's

(01:36:52):
going to take some time and it'sgonna be fucking worth it.
Yeah, cuz it's gonna change. It's gonna change fighting games
forever. I'm hoping it'll be Oh yeah.
Otherwise it'll just be virtual.Butterfly.
Well, it has to evolve a. Pretty looking virtual.
Butterfly. It has to evolve.
I know they're testing the online with virtual butterfly
and all that stuff, so that'll be perfect hopefully.
But yeah, I'm looking forward to, I like where they're going

(01:37:15):
with what it looks like in the designs.
They got a lot more characters to show, so I think this is
good. Like at least a year off.
Come on, Sega, come on. Yeah.
We need to come back. We need to.
Put all your other. People, it's going to it's going
to drop the same day as GTA6. Yo, they reveal.
Yes. People like no.
Not again. It's a fight again.

(01:37:36):
It could compete. It's fine.
Yeah, it could, because there's no crossover there, exactly.
Yeah, what? This was the Smash Brothers
though. What and it?
Wasn't virtual fight, it was a smash brothers screen and it was
weird and it was it discussed new.
Graphics. Yeah, that'd be ridiculous.
He pulls the sword out. He'll be on X fight anyway.

(01:37:58):
He'll be on X. Fight how?
Wow, that was terrible. Like, Yep, we breathe new life
back into the Xbox. Microsoft has bought Nintendo.
Huh, weird. Man.
Nah, it's virtual fighter. We'll see what it we'll see what
it's. Hopefully they stay on track
because they got the shinobi thing that looks fucking
amazing. They got all the games they need
to announce that creates taxi needs to be shot out the at the
cannon. You got to get that Shinobi's

(01:38:18):
coming in the summer, in the summer, right, And I got a new
trailer for that. I think of gameplay.
I think they just had that. Up.
Oh, maybe we'll maybe, just maybe, we'll start to see some
Golden Axe footage. For that word.
No. They showed that what, 5 seconds
like. That sheets a rage 3D remake
they got. Yeah, nothing.
So they got a lot of games before this virtual fighter.
None of them look like this virtual fighter.

(01:38:39):
Yeah, that'd be weird. This is like Sega doesn't do
stuff like this so looking forward to it.
I want to say Sonic like that. It's a nice change, I do not
want to see that. We saw him in the movie.
No, the the ugly, the ugly ass. That's a fighter.
Yes. Like a fucking furry, like a

(01:38:59):
human in the in the costume. With real legs.
That would be hilarious. Skinny ass legs with.
Real legs. And red shoes with.
Socks. With.
Socks, bro, I would love that. That's that's really Sega.
They would do that. That would be wild.
Oh my God that would be hilarious.
That would be wild. That was late.

(01:39:21):
That's it, guys. That's it.
Yeah, man. Wait, we have a topic.
Yeah, we do. We do.
Yeah. I should.
Is gaming too expensive? Now that is the.
Best topic, It's getting there. Podcast over Yes, the answer is
yes. Well, we all know there's
tariffs going on, and I think the only system in America that

(01:39:44):
pushed their prices up America was Microsoft so far.
So far. Sony's legs, yeah, yeah, Sony's
rubbing their hands. Legs like, Birdman's like.
Birdman, look, they're like you.Know wait for.
It I'm very surprised Sony hasn't like done it yet.
Same. I know they've done it in other
countries beforehand. Before the tariffs they upped
their prices secretly. Have you ever seen a generation

(01:40:08):
of systems besides the switch that has never lowered the price
over the years? That's a new thing you said
besides the switch. Besides the switch, because
that's the first time I've ever seen a system have a eight-year
lifespan without dropping the price to a not, not a sale
price. I mean like the natural retail

(01:40:29):
price drop of like 50 to $100. First time I've ever not seen
that happen. It's trended upward.
I cannot believe that it's trended upward.
Well, think of this. Also, there's something else to
consider. In the last, what, 6 years?
Yeah, and maybe longer, maybe more they've released like

(01:40:51):
upgrade systems. What have been?
Upgraded so they got the PS4 Pro.
But they would lower the price of the previous system.
They yeah, they do. But that I mean that that kind
of throws a weird thing in the in the mix too, like because you
got pro versions of this, you got the Switch Pro, you got.
It is different tech or and they're not, they're not trying
to sell those pro systems as their main system.

(01:41:11):
They weren't right now, I don't know, but they used to have
system be like 200 bucks, 300 bucks, then it'll be 200 bucks,
then it'll be 100 bucks. When the other systems come out
with a newer system comes out, they would drop it to 100 bucks
or 150 bucks and that would sellto everyone who was waiting
didn't have the money to buy that system.
That's why you see some like a PlayStation Two at 150 million,

(01:41:35):
which is crazy that the Switch is up to 150 million.
It's crazy. What's that regular price?
What's where is it at? Did it?
They didn't get the record yet. Right.
No, they sold 2,000,000 more. I think they need about 7 to
8,000,000 more to get to 160. Jesus, man.
But if they drop the price, theywould beat it tomorrow and.
Yeah, well, that's the reason why is because of the price man.
And they can't drop the price now, which is unfortunate

(01:41:57):
because they're going to have toraise the price because the tax
is on the tariffs. Yep, it's like now is a bad time
to lower anything. So Nintendo kicked us off.
Who would have thought that Nintendo would be the barriers
of the bad news? The price.
It's Bowser. Is the yes.
So they would have wanted to kick off the 80?
Well, no, actually, they would have wanted to kick off the $70

(01:42:18):
price tag and they release Zelda.
Which I'm I'm against. And I said this is the new price
of our top AAA game. 152 million.
Yeah, I said it need April but and it's coming soon, they'll do
it. But they were the ones to break
the 70 and then they didn't evenrelease another game, another

(01:42:40):
AAA title until they said 80 with the Switch too.
And then? 80 is egregious.
Man, Mario Kart just said. $80.00 and they jumped the gun
fast with that. It wasn't even like normal to be
$70 yet and they're like 80. Let's go for Mario Kart.
And I wonder. She was like, I don't see why
Mario Kart's worth $80.00. Like, what do you want?

(01:43:03):
What did you expect them to do to make it $80.00?
What'd you expect to see on thattrailer that would say that's
worth $80.00? I don't know.
I'll tell you, I mean well, all right.
See myself, I'll talk car, you look.
At you look at development costsright to make a game yes and
they say that the price reflectsthat right so they can pay the

(01:43:25):
people that made the game and all that registry that's how
they advertise it right. So I understand that and then
you have manufacturing costs right to make the physical game.
But what I don't get is why do they have the same price?
For digital, for the digital game, Yeah it.
Doesn't make any sense. Well, that's why we're going to
have our Nintendo representativelet us know right now.

(01:43:46):
Turbo, you, can you tell us please?
They see their content as. That was seamless damage
controller they. See their content as premium
regardless, regardless of the format.
It's premium price, but premium.Digital A digital version,
though I. Do want to say one thing about

(01:44:07):
the the $80.00 price games? It's like if you look at the
other $80.00 price games currently available for the
Switch to we're talking about none.
Mario Party Superstars Jamboree Plus TV.
Jamboree TV we're talking about no.
There's no other game. No, no, no, it's it's this Kirby
and the Forgotten Land plus expansion.

(01:44:28):
This. Damn, I'm getting to that.
Yeah, that's eight now. That's 80 bucks 'cause they're
giving a little bit of extra. So I'm thinking they're trying
to do this with Mario Kart Worldbecause they're gonna come out
with some DLC down the line, andI think it's going to be free.
With membership. I think it's going to be free
membership. Listen to this Nintendo shill
over. Here I think I don't.

(01:44:49):
Think it's going to be. I don't think it's going to
necessarily be with with our membership.
I don't know. Tell those got their hands on
his ass. I think there's going to be
there's going to be some free content they're going to throw
along with that price. People people get mad when
someone says that games were waymore expensive back in the day

(01:45:10):
it. Looks awesome there were.
We had $90.00. Games, but people write it off
and say oh, that's inflation, blah, blah, blah, who cares
about that? Do you understand that?
That's not with inflation, yes, it was 85 to $100 or a lot of
Super Nintendo games in the 90s.Yeah, you know, and minimum.
Yeah, there was a. Few, there's a few Virginis,
maybe two or three, but there was a lot.

(01:45:30):
Even Nintendo itself, but NES. But those games were average for
Super Nintendo, 64 dollars and that was on a budget.
Minimum wage was maybe 450 back then.
Minimum wage that you made hourly was $4.50 and those games
were $64 and that was normal price.

(01:45:53):
There was no tariff. Crazy stuff going on.
But the problem is. That the Nintendo's see a little
approval, but the. Problem is the wages right?
With inflation over time the wages never caught up.
Ships has just got more expensive over time.
The wages never moved this in the same direction.
This is the problem. The price of the games never
went up when the when the amountof money that we made went up

(01:46:15):
and they're doing it all very fast now and it seems like it's
so crazy what they should have done when PS2 came out.
Listen, I'm not against, I'm against high price of games.
Obviously you don't want to pay more for games, but to
understand the gaming industry and how much it costs to make
games. Now the fact that we sat on $50
games to $60.00 games for the past 25 years to 30 years or

(01:46:37):
more, even Atari games for $50, like we'd never jumped past that
as a normal for gaming. And that's the only thing like a
movie is like $30. Now if you want $20 or whatever,
unless you're old. But the ticket, the ticket for
movies, if you go out and get a popcorn and soda, $30 just for a
2 hour movie and you're talking about 100 hour games.

(01:47:00):
Most. Most of.
The times I get that, but I get that.
They should have raised the price $5 per each console
generation. Then we would have been up to
$80.00 and we were like OK, it was gradual.
This makes sense to that insteadof jumping from 60 to 71 week
and then 80 another week and we were used to like the special
editions $100 hundred 2300 whatever they jumped stupid

(01:47:22):
price for statue like come on. But we were used to the special
editions being more also. But the fact that we're moving
to no physical games, do you know they want to go there?
They're moving to no physical, they want all digital and
they're still charging more. That's my issue.
That's messed up. That's like, oh, you want the
iPhone? It's so much more money for the

(01:47:44):
recycled thing with no headphones, no charger, no
nothing in your box, and you getthis, this crappy cardboard and
you're paying way more for it. Like you're trying to save the
planet but you're giving me garbage now and you're charging
me more. Well, you made a statement that
it's more expensive to make games, right?

(01:48:05):
But how does that explain like indie games, Like the game
you're playing now, Exposition 33 that was made by 30 guys,
right? They charge 50.
What is it 50 bucks for the game?
Top. Price, it's already on the like.
People are talking about it being game of the year.
Top prices for AAA games of what?
A skyrocketing budget? That's what I'm talking about.
But I'm saying. They're saying gaming over

(01:48:26):
because of pricing. That's not that's not the case
because of indie games. But the the question I was going
to propose was, is it like development cost?
Is it too much like they're paidlike it surpassed Hollywood?
Like why is it costing $400 million to make a freaking
Concord or whatever and then it flops?
They expect to make $1,000,000 aday with the process they're

(01:48:47):
doing or more. It's not a.
Good. Something they should.
They need to. They need to do like Expedition
33. Make good games and it would.
It'll sell no matter what you sell the shit for, but make good
games first. No, that's what it should be.
But they could get people who are making these games are in
charge of the. Game the business, the
businessmen, right, are who think, no, I get it.
The publishers, the businessmen are like, throw money at it and

(01:49:10):
you're going to get something good.
And that's not the case. Yeah.
You hold these. Suits.
Yeah, it's the suits. The suits ruin.
It's the same in the movie industry.
Yeah, it's the same in the musicindustry.
It's the same shit. That's why these systems can't
go cheaper in price, because they want to see profit margins
every year go up if it doesn't go up.
Numbers, numbers, Numbers. No, you know what?
Another thing too that pisses meoff is like they talking about,

(01:49:34):
Oh yeah, it's costing too much to make this game and everything
like that, right? They don't lower the price, but
then they fire like fucking hundreds of people.
I'm just saying like, yeah I know, but it's just shitty.
The process of making a game doesn't require the developers
anymore. It's different.
Sucks. I don't understand.
I'm not there. Keep.
Keep the suits out of it, but. The fact that they do fire a

(01:49:55):
whole studio and they can't makeany more games, right?
Yeah, that's another story. Yeah, But the fact that these
companies want to make money over anything, and it doesn't
matter if the game is is popular, it doesn't matter if
the game is fun. It matters on if they can trick
you into spending more money over time on it.
And that's what's important now.That's why mobile games, they

(01:50:19):
wanted to invest so much in the mobile games because they have
the trick to get you to pay moreand more and more.
They call it forever. Games.
And you want to transfer that into the games that we play on
console, right? And now they want to get rid of
console because they don't care about that.
They just want you to have an ever living game on your TV that
you can just pay for monthly. They want money monthly.

(01:50:40):
They don't care about if you're paying $80.00 for a game anyway.
That's why he said we can overprice the shit out of these
games because we don't want themto buy the game to begin with.
Xbox is like, yo, we will raise the price on our systems even
though we're not selling systemsbecause we don't care if you buy
the system, this will make you get Game Pass.
It's not. It's not.
It's not. Yeah.
Perfect sound effect, Yep. Yeah, that's that's how the

(01:51:01):
thought process goes it. Doesn't.
Yeah, not wrong. It doesn't take a genius to see
that that they wanted to go intoI want to pay monthly and they
raised the price of the monthly right when they did that.
Agreed. Would you rather pay?
Are you going to? Pay $750 for a system or are you
going to pay 150 a year? When they when they announced
the what was it, the PS5 Pro? Yeah, I saw the price tag.

(01:51:24):
I was like sticker shock. Like what the?
Yeah. 7. 100,000. Man, and it sold out in seconds,
right? Yeah, because it was the first,
well, it was the first early adopters.
First shipment is going to sell our regard.
Yeah, early adopters they alwaysgo after.
It but usually they would bring that out since it's been what,
4? It came out four years in.
Four years in, yeah. So they would release that for
the same price as the top tier retail version, right, And

(01:51:46):
reduce the price of the retail version?
Because that makes sense. That's how it would work.
Yeah. That makes sense.
I'll sell that system, get the new one, I'll spend $150.00 more
and get that whatever. Yep, doesn't work that way
anymore. No.
And people think, oh, the industry is going to crash
because we know the industry is going to crash because the AAA
games are costing too much. That's it.
The cost of development and the problem.

(01:52:07):
The fact that they can make something like let's go to Final
Fantasy route or the Tomb Raiderroute.
You make a game polished, super budget, super like you're,
you're marking this thing out toeverybody.
Your money's just falling out. Your screws are dug backwards.
You're losing everything out of your freaking way.
Like everything is going and yousell 10 million copies.

(01:52:29):
That's a huge success. When you think at 60 to 70 to
$80.00 a game, you sell 10 million times that.
You think, oh, we got something great, right?
Right. Because of the budget and the
forecast that they have to make on those games.
That $10 million, that 10 million sales, not without

(01:52:50):
dollars sales on the game is a failure, is a undersell and they
have to fire everyone because you didn't sell more than 10
million, dude, a high success for a game at 2 million.
It's like you haven't made it but big games.
But here's a question. Fans would be like, yo, we sold

(01:53:11):
4 million in two months. Here's the question failed.
Here's a question. That's the problem.
What about Nintendo and Mario Kart?
Do you really think it cost likelet's say what are the other AAA
games are charging $100 million?You want the answer to make the
game. You want the answer to.
That I know the answer the answer but I'm just saying like.

(01:53:31):
What's the top selling game on the Switch?
What's the top selling? Game on the Switch?
Yeah. Mario Kart 8?
Animal Crossing. Oh yeah, yeah.
Mario Kart 8? Mario Kart 8 is a port from Wii
U. Exactly.
They didn't even make one for the Wii.
Yes, that's crazy. And that's the top selling game.
So why wouldn't you sell it for $80?
Because this is not this is not the Trojan horse that GTA has to

(01:53:54):
be. This is just you're going to buy
it. You're.
Going to buy it you're. Going to buy it.
Well, the smartest thing they did was make that I'm not buying
part of the bundle. That's that's.
The fact that they made it 50 bucks with the bundle, yeah,
that's part of the plan. That's a.
Smart way to get people like it's 80 but it's cheaper with
the system. It's like I'm going to own Mario
karts, so I guess. I might as well get the bundle.
So I'm going to own it maybe sometime next year.

(01:54:16):
So it's the thing. This is the thing.
Donkey. Donkey. 70 bucks, right?
Yeah, you think that was one of their AAA titles, right?
No, You think so? I think the reason that they
made Mario Kart World $80.00 is because when they offer with the
system they can say you saved 30instead of you saved 20.

(01:54:37):
It's a marketing. It's a marketing scheme.
That's it. It's a marketing.
Scheme just so it seems like you're saving more.
More money when you. But the problem with that is the
power. You're already seeing it
happening right now in real time.
The problem with that is that they opened up Pandora's box.
Now I know all the other. We haven't seen it yet.
We haven't seen it yet. The tariffs hit.
Looks like everybody moved the price, but that was an excuse

(01:54:58):
because look, if they ever figure out these tariffs.
I mean they had the price beforethe tariffs isn't even a thing.
So I'm saying these prices aren't going to go down.
That's what's crazy. We don't know that yet.
We don't know yet. We don't know yet Well tech.
I mean, right now in this, at this point in time, it looks
like it's not gonna happen. We can't.
We can't predict the future. Dude, they haven't loaded.
We don't, yeah, don't anything. We don't know that.

(01:55:20):
Well, I know. I don't think we don't end those
changing that. No, no.
They had to. They had to release more than
the accessories, not the system.So they have to get their money
back somewhere. Those.
Those you'll see how long that line.
Shitty accessories. Dude, if it was like 150%
tariff, they're not gonna, they're not gonna eat that.
No, they're not. They're not gonna eat that.
No. Well, now it's like 30.
Whatever, whatever happens, we don't know the number.

(01:55:40):
Change. Really don't know.
Number change daily, but you're not gonna see.
Too many people are. 500 bucks. Too many people are complaining.
Well give them more fucking tracks.
Give them more. Tracks Mario Kart.
Well. Free.
Shut them the fuck? Well, that's the thing.
I mean you're paying if you pay,pay 80 bucks for it.
You better get good online. Well, yeah, well, no, the and

(01:56:01):
that's the thing that that part of that production cost is going
to be the servers that they haveto maintain to make the to make
the online decent enough to. There's 24 players.
People are like, why are we paying 80?
I'm like, what do you want? And and, and as an excuse, and
whatever version Mario Kart releases with the Switch to is
not going to be the final version.
They're probably still making more track.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm sure they.
Are no. It's like it's put the whole

(01:56:22):
time. It's more than eight years.
There's no other Mario Kart. Activities that's better be free
though. If they have DLC they marry a
Kart universe. I don't think they.
Think it's going to be free DLC should be better I.
Don't think DLC tracks are goingto be.
Free. I bet you the next better your
game. If you're paying $80.00 for the
fucking game, the shit better befree all the DLC.
Oh, it's definitely down. I would think you should.
Be free. It's definitely not.

(01:56:42):
I don't think it's it's 20. Dollars but explain to me why
Nintendo is charging for the What is that shit called the
fucking? Tech demo to get paid bro.
The the tech demo that they're charging $10.99.
Because they're greedy. They don't make money.
They're not losing money. From that it's a grift.
That's great. Crazy man, they're going to sell
five of those and they'll be fine.
If Reggie if Reggie Feasibi was still president of Nintendo of

(01:57:06):
America, it would be a pack in game with the Switch.
To I think if anybody was the president of Nintendo will be a
packing game besides the one who's there now.
It's true. I'm sorry, Doug Bowser.
I'm sorry. Bowser man.
How about then the US? It's a packet.
Like it's got it's content. But if you preorder the fucking
thing, you get it free dude. You know, like at least at
least. Yeah, it's a preorder.

(01:57:26):
At least something, some kind offreaking bonus, man.
It's. Digital, you can't give out a
code, no bonus, you can't give us a e-mail.
Come on to do. I can't.
I preordered your system. The least, the freaking least
you can do. No bonuses.
Here's the code. We'll give you a freaking coin
at Best Buy, yeah? No, Yeah.
Oh God. Man, that's the, that's the,
that's it that you get is like. It's like for for pre ordering

(01:57:47):
the. Sticker.
With the code. Nah, no code, no just sticker.
Code that's too much money. We'll give you a Mario sticker.
If they charge a dollar, I'd be like, you know what?
I'm not happy that they're even charging anything.
But if it's a dollar, I'm like, you know what?
A dollar. Listen, I would get into the
mini game they have on there. If there's anything fun on
there, it's only 10 bucks still.Whatever if it's not ten.

(01:58:08):
Dollars I'm sure they're gonna be gonna get.
There's gonna be some entertaining mini game.
You're not sure in it. No, there's it.
Works for Nintendo. There's there's gonna be fun
mini games I played. Nintendo Show.
I I played Nintendo games that have mini game collection but
it's just not worth it. It's it's mostly there to inform
you about cool functions and features of the system.
It's a text demo he. Tells exactly what's in it.

(01:58:32):
I'll tell you exactly right now it's about 100 mini games.
Oh my God. Oh my.
Yeah, right. There's a. 100.
Mini games, dude. There's a mouse, there's a mouse
air hockey. There's a Mouse air hockey game
in. There is about it, Mouse air
hockey. There's a lot of cool things you
can do tell you about the system.
I'll tell you what there's. I'll never know because.
I can't wait to never use the mouse.
I can't wait to never use mouse mode.

(01:58:54):
It's no, you're not gonna use mouse.
Mode. Looking forward to never using
mouse. I'm gonna check it out.
No. Unless dude, unless I move it on
my leg to move the cursor on thescreen to hit something.
You know what, No, I'm interested in using mouse mode
for like SRPG's, man, I wanna see yes, taking the cursor and
going like this with it, Yes, I'm I'm thinking about yeah.
What about that wheelchair basketball game?
Well, we'll see that that. Doesn't that use the mouse mode?

(01:59:17):
I'm not interested in that at. All that looks interesting.
It does look interesting. It does look it.
Looks fun. What's the price of that?
The price, they say price for the.
Game. I don't know.
Remember. These $80.
Remember these remarks from Turbo, they will never play
these. He doesn't play all the games he
has now. But back to topic, yes, so all
right, people are complaining about the price of the games.

(01:59:38):
Listen, everybody is content on the regular price of games, and
they're used to buying multiple games a month.
This is gonna slow down what people do with games.
This is gonna slow down the gameindustry because everyone's not
gonna be buying multiple games anymore.
Parents indeed are gonna be likeyou better pick the game you
want until Christmas because this is your birthday.

(02:00:00):
Whatever. They get two games a year if
their birthday is far enough from Christmas.
You know, you know, there's positive.
There's something positive aboutthat, you know.
The AAA game, they need to slow down.
Yeah, it's like there's, there'stoo much games as it is.
So it's like if you get more. If you can only afford a certain
game, you better make that shit count.
You better play the fuck out of that game because if it was a
lot cheaper, you're going to stack your games and you're

(02:00:23):
going to play one or two of themand the others are just going to
collect us as new things come out.
So there is a positive with that.
So plus these games can finally get finished.
Maybe we can get more polished games that aren't buggy as hell.
The backlog, man. Yeah, man.
The backlog. And well, I don't know how to
budget. It's going to be on these games.
They're still going to be high. They're still going to be high.

(02:00:43):
I was going to say maybe they can choke.
They maybe can think about it more and like invest.
That's right, astral chambers are astral chain.
But the question was, is gaming too expensive now?
And to answer that question, I say no.
There are expensive things aboutgames that will price people out
of the industry. And believe me, it was never
cheap. It was never cheap.

(02:01:05):
As a whole, I don't think it's it's expensive.
I just bought 10 games yesterday, well no eight games
yesterday for $10.00, so I can'tsay that the.
And one of them will be played No, no, no, they just go in the
collection I. Bought it because Ori Ori and
Willow whisp was in there Willowand I wanted that one and it was

(02:01:28):
like 28 bucks and I was like I want it on steam deck not steam
deck but on steam. But I don't want to spend
$29.00. I already got it on Xbox for
free, but I wanted it. Yeah.
So I was like, it's part of thiscollection.
Plus it has all these other games that I'm interested in, so
I bought that. Those games were less than a
like a what, $1.25 each? I don't really.

(02:01:48):
Count. I don't count steam games
though. PC.
I'm starting to console games ingeneral.
That's not really PC. Gaming in general, that's part
of gaming now more than ever, Steve.
Is, but I don't put it in the same.
Lump it in the same category as console games.
It's his own console. But you know what though, I
think. It's not really a console, it's
APC. Steam Deck is its own console.
Now make a kiss seem that could be a more appealing or an

(02:02:12):
appealing alternative to the Switch 2 because of the price of
the Switch 2's games. It's a different way of looking
at the industry because there's another way in.
You don't have to buy all these games for $80.
You can buy you can. Get a game you can get.
Indie games. Well, no, no Batman Arkham
collection for $4.50. Like there's, there's, there's
ways to buy these games cheap. They're not new, new games, but

(02:02:35):
you can't get sales. You can do all this other stuff.
So yes, the $80.00 price tag in the in the console prices are
stupid. Those are expensive.
Those are too expensive. Usually if it's a multi platform
game and I see that the PC version's always cheaper, it's
always cheaper. The PC version is always cheaper
than the console. Digital should go.
It's always cheaper. Yes.

(02:02:57):
But The thing is, it's not. Buying physical copies for the
PC. But with PC you can.
They can do that because it's all digital.
And you have to buy the PC to beable to play.
It when was the last time anyonebought a physical PC game?
You can't. But you don't.
But that's how digital should bepriced.
I agree with that, yes. Cheaper whether it's $20 cheaper
than the physical. Usually it's like that on PC.

(02:03:19):
I get that, but yeah, lumping ittogether with console gaming is
it gets confusing. No, it's like as far as console
game the. Question is gaming?
Gaming in general, yes, I agree with you.
Is it is it you know it's is it expensive to expensive?
No, but it's that's but that's if you include Steam, but I
don't even think. About that, will we see an

(02:03:39):
increase on these indie titles? Because it is maybe maybe let's
say, but because if they're $80.00 retail games, right, I'll
physically yeah. Are these fifty dollar $40 PC
games going to jump up 10 dollars $20?
The PC games possible. Traditionally they've always
been cheaper. Yeah, I know, but they haven't
jumped yet. Everything is jumping.

(02:04:00):
Right now, well, if the let's say all the consoles, right and
there's multi platform games, soall the consoles $80.00 or
whatever, right? Yeah, industry standard $80.00
and it's released for PC for 50 or 60.
Dollars, well, yeah, they're just pushing people towards PC,
but you got to have there you goover $1000 PC to play these
games, but if the systems are close to that $1000, you might

(02:04:22):
as well get the PC. And then you can upgrade it.
You could freaking. There's a lot of shit you.
Do yes, if you can get a if you can get a gaming PC for 1000
bucks or you're getting these systems for seven hundred 800
bucks. Hope the game.
Hope, Sup, hope, hope. I can't.
I got it out. You can't do that.
I like put. That so I would say PC gaming.

(02:04:44):
No, it's not expensive. It's actually.
Could be it's but. It's not it.
Could be, but there's different outlooks on it.
There's a lot of difference justevery day there's a fucking sale
day sales, but and there's a lotof you know, there's a lot of
ways to get. New AAA titles if you want to
stay on top of the game. It is expensive if you get a day
one. Yes, without Game Pass, without

(02:05:04):
PS Now. And that's another one, too.
Yeah, like the, the, the. Like, I'm playing these new
games because of Game Pass. Don't get me wrong, I'm not
spending this $90.00 on games, right?
There you go, I'm doing it. I got Game Pass the week before
Claire Scare came out because I was like, my games are coming
out now I'm going to use Game Pass and I'm playing these
games. Freaking what?
Was it a Assassin's Creed Shadows?

(02:05:26):
Yeah. The only reason why I don't
freaking own it is because it's too much money man.
And you don't have. I'm not spending, it'll go down.
I'm not spending $70.60 dollars or whatever the heck.
You got to sign into Ubisoft Online on PC.
Oh. My God.
No, but that's that's the only reason why I don't have the
game. Yeah, yeah, 'cause it's Ubisoft
and they're gonna drop the pricethey're.

(02:05:47):
Gonna drop. Yeah, that too.
That too. They're gonna do.
It's like, just do it already. Yeah, I'm waiting on it.
I'm like, literally I'm like. You know you want to do the
Black Friday. For sure.
Black Friday, for sure. Well.
Usually. Pass by.
I looked this up, I actually didresearch on this.
Ubisoft usually take it takes about 8 months for them to drop
the price on every game that they release.
Or drop the developing. Or drop or drop the.

(02:06:07):
Drop. One or the other.
Yeah, one or the other. Yes, they'll be sold by then.
It's possible. Black Friday sale man China
will. That's what I'm thinking.
China will own them. China will own them. $0.10 it's.
Close. It's close.
Who knows? But yeah, it depends on your
outlook on the game industry andwhether it's that.
But is it good? No, but listen as a counter

(02:06:32):
argument. Yeah, it.
Was perfect. I'll always go to this it.
Was a perfect pause. One, one word to eat.
To eat lunch, a value meal couldcost you anywhere from 12 bucks

(02:06:53):
to 18 bucks or more. God damn yes, dinner can be
over. $20. For a sandwich. $30 my Co worker
spent the other day. On lunch?
On lunch, if you get it delivered, that's even.
Oh, don't. Dare.
That was the reason why. Don't you dare.
Get it delivered. That was the reason why, because
he's got it delivered. You better get a party of people
to order that because if you're alone, you're paying $30.00 for

(02:07:15):
lunch. So when I look at a price of a
game with a $50, I'm like, well I kind of just will get one
burger for 5 bucks and then I'llget this game because that's the
price of the. Game.
You know what else it sucks? Which is weird.
So what you're saying you're sacrificing your health for
video games? Some people might do that, They

(02:07:38):
might do that. A burger is less calories than
the wholemeal. You know what would be real
scary because it, I, I saw this.What was it?
It was on the news the other dayabout like, Uber Eats and like
these delivery services they're offering people, like payment
plans. Yeah.
So like, somebody made a TikTok and they were like, yeah, I just
financed my burrito that I ordered for freaking.

(02:08:00):
Instead of paying $20.00 for thefreaking for my food, I could
pay $2.00 every week or whateverfor, you know, I was like, what
kind of problem? Imagine if they did that shit.
Imagine if they did that to fucking video games, dude.
That would be terrible. No, they did.
In Japan they have you. Really.
You could rent a PlayStation 5 for like a, what is it, 8?
Was it $8 for three days or so or like a week, $8 a week?

(02:08:25):
And if you look at the pricing, that might not be a bad idea if
you're just playing your stuff that year.
Yeah. You don't want to spend $700.00,
you're spending $8. So that's smaller than the
rental we used to pay $5 for three days.
The problem with that is, yeah, is it cheaper in the long run?
Yes. Well, but if you fucking miss a
payment, there you goes. Your fucking.
I know, I know. If you're going to keep it

(02:08:46):
forever, maybe not if you're going to keep for eight years,
but if you're going to play the the new game that year, you want
to play it, you just rent it. Yeah, but if you get multiple
games, you got to keep track of the payments and shit and it,
you know what I mean? Like it's.
I'm sorry about the system. I don't care about the game, the
games you buy the game, whatever.
But they have that they have a payment plan for those.
I'm saying it's not renters centers when you get ripped off.

(02:09:07):
So yeah, that's different. But like I said, the the food
like cost of living is just a big deal now that's it's just
too expensive to live, not just too expensive to gain.
Yeah, you got to find those deals though.
There's bad deals. There's deals everywhere.
Listen, no, there's no discount on breathing bro, No.
Not paying for air just yet. You might have to read it.

(02:09:27):
That's total recall, man Depend.Well, depends on the city you're
in. It's.
Hurt or planet? Planet.
I'm breathing too much. Air, planet, we're on Earth,
man. Listen, it's difficult.
It's it's difficult. And the price of these games
isn't helping your cost of living.
It's just not true. But if I look on Amazon, I'm
like, I owe $50 on Amazon. That doesn't seem too bad.

(02:09:48):
So the games should come with a The game should come with a food
coupon. Happy Meals.
Yeah, yeah, the coupon from likeMcDonald's or something.
Used to get a. They used to do that.
No, no, I used to get a game forgoing to those.
Yeah, yeah, they used to do that.
Help you buy a game they should.Get food Yeah you should get fed
Word. Why the fuck not?
Cross promotion man. Because that's half the price of
the game. They're not going to give you

(02:10:09):
win, win. That's the crazy part though.
It's insane. K Fed Stay fed.
Stop it. Yeah, I'm sorry, folks.
That's the end. Of the show What a.
What a. No, damn the nick I lost.
To the halt, right? There, Jesus.
Yeah, they can't afford to win. Damn, they said the Knicks can't
afford to win. So general consensus from

(02:10:31):
everybody here. I want to know from everyone,
what do you guys think? I.
Think it's I think gaming is getting close to being too
expensive. As of right now, it's not, but
it's going to. It's getting there.
For you personally? For me personally, like I'm
doing alright. I'm doing.
Alright, but I think I but I think the price increases it's

(02:10:51):
going to make me like double like double check and like not
necessarily be so adventurous with what I buy it's.
Going to make you more cautious of your purchase, yeah?
Yeah, that's the word I was looking for.
I bought, I was used to buying deluxe versions like I, I was
used to spending 80 bucks or whatever, but it's not great.
I didn't like it, but it came with extra.
I was like, OK, that seems like it's worth it to play because

(02:11:13):
that's how games work. Like the games that I buy like,
oh, it's season 1, it comes withwhatever.
That's how they work. They try and trick you into
spending that $20 after anyway. So it depends on the value of
the games. Is it good?
I don't. I don't agree with.
I don't. Well, no, I can't say I don't
agree with the price going up because I understand why it's

(02:11:34):
going up. Do I like it?
No, of course not. But I see why and I understand
why. But as long as I can get deals
on other things and every game isn't that.
If every game, if indie games were 60-70 bucks and every game
was, I couldn't get a game under50 bucks.
Just make it an even 100 man. That's the.

(02:11:56):
Problem No, no. Forget it, just make it 100.
The fact that there's no standard now, yeah, that's the
problem, yeah, Nintendo said. We will charge accordingly.
Variable pricing so that. Was the worst.
Accordingly is not cool. Yeah, variable pricing was the
was the IT? Could be the.
Bad phrase that they. It could be disastrous, yeah,
but could you say a role-playinggame?
Like back in the day it was variable like fancy *2.

(02:12:19):
For the most part. 100 bucks. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, fancy start. Yeah.
So 400 hundred bucks for fans. Yeah, Final Fantasies were
expensive. Final Fantasy was like the 80
bucks. Like yeah, OK, that was back
then, but they did it accordingly based on how much
you can get from the game. Who's to say the value of that
game though? That's the problem, right?
Because they say pick them in. I always go to pickman.

(02:12:42):
They say pickman is worth. 80 That is a retail, that is a 80.
I mean, come on, dude. Turbo.
Free if it give me free DLC for the like.
You are not buying that game for$85.
Don't even start that shit rightnow.
I'm not. I'm not.
Don't even start that. I never, I never usually pay
that much for Pig. Come on anyway, Turbo, if you
said, if you said yes to that, I'd be like, my birthday's

(02:13:03):
coming up. Yeah, yeah, I'm expecting it.
Yeah, yeah. That's that's.
My I don't even like Pigman, butI'll I'll have you know with the
to answer your question now, if it's too, I don't think it's too
expensive. I'm a very you know how I buy my
game. I'm a I'm a very old school type
of dude like. Well, you wait for a deal too.
Well, the thing though, not on everything.

(02:13:24):
Like if, if Smash Brothers is out, new Smash Brothers, 80
bucks, I'm getting it day one and there's a new fire.
If that Fire Emblem comes out new 80 bucks, yeah, I'll pay it,
but I won't even blink an eye. I won't even complain about it,
whatever problem. Is and what the person who's
like the big super fans? Yeah, like I, like I find
throughout gaming, I always finda way to get the games that I

(02:13:45):
want and I don't over saturate my library with things I'm never
going to play, you know, like I,you know, I make sure that's why
I'd rather buy than get like a game Pass because I'll just have
50 million games on Game Pass. I'm never touching.
If I if I pay money for it, if Ipay money for it, I'm going to
play that game because I paid, because my money comes, you
know, from my job. I bust my ass and it's for a

(02:14:06):
game and yeah, I'm going to fucking, I can schedule time and
play the fucking game. So I always do that.
So it's never, it's not really doesn't really affect me that
much, you know. And if, if I, if there's a indie
game like a Blasphemous or whatever, yeah, I'll fucking get
it. And it's not going to be 80
bucks, so hell no. So most of the games I play are
fucking indie, you know? Part 3 was 80.
I've I've not, then I will spend80 bucks.

(02:14:28):
Yeah, I'm I'm a fan. Like if I'm a fan of a series, I
will. They're counting on that, yeah,
they're counting on their fans, but they're count.
They should be counting on the people who aren't because
they're the ones who aren't going to buy the system.
You got to go. Yeah the parents or buying
systems for their kids will not buy the switch to for 500 bucks.
Unless it's for. Unless it's for them.
Well, that's the thing. Unless they got straight ASI

(02:14:49):
mean listen. No, unless it's unless it's for
themselves. No, it's for them.
But I'm saying as a give the kid5 year old I want to switch to
I'm sorry. What did you say?
Switch 1. What about?
What about the guy with the kid?You kept.
No, I'll, I'll be honest, hardware has gone up and it's
increasingly going to get more expensive as we go into the

(02:15:12):
future. So it's just like the thing
about games, games are getting more expensive.
If this $80.00 to get lower, if $80.00 becomes no the new
standard for the price games, that's OK because there's so
many games available. You'll always, the Indies will
always sell things at a discountand they're always going to have
sales. There's going to be enough games
available where you'll you're going to be able to get

(02:15:32):
something for way lower than whatever the standard high price
is going to be. But hardware?
Nintendo always did that. That's yeah, They always waited
for the for like the standardized price to drop on
the tech that they were using. So you didn't have to go to the
oh this is the top of the tier even though they're still not
top tier for tech and they're still charging 5. 100 that's the

(02:15:53):
crazy. That's the crazy part.
That is crazy. Because they're like, we're
always the ones that come in andknow our tech and we know how to
get you your savings because we waited.
This is like Apple. They waited until everyone else
tested it. Now we're going to put it out
there, even though they charge like 1400 bucks, whatever, but
they wait and they wait for this, the subsidized pricing of
this tech of these chips. But the fact that none of these

(02:16:16):
chips have dropped chips, but the fact that that hasn't
dropped, they can't do that right now.
And it's not their fault, actually.
They did go Porque though. Yeah, they did go. 120, they
hurt fresh rate, refresh rate, so it's got a lot of
modernization. But they added stuff and they

(02:16:36):
we're paying the price for that.They did a lot of stuff that I
didn't think they would do. We did exactly do it.
We did ask them to do it. We're like everyone like.
Will you give us 10 year old tech please?
Yeah, like what you want? To this is not new new tech.
I didn't mind it. I didn't.
I don't mind the the. Dude, 4K is not.
New, Yeah, no, it's not. It's not new, no, but.
Nintendo was new. A Sony phone had 4K on.

(02:16:57):
It I was just surprised that they even went through.
I if you would have, if I was a betting man, I would have said
no. There's no way in hell
Nintendo's going to fucking put.Portable mold, 484K, all that.
Shit. I knew they shouldn't even come
out with a new switch if it's not going to be 4K.
It's like really like this. No, no, it's 1080P.
But it shouldn't have cost them more now, Yes, it should be the

(02:17:19):
price that they were paying for the switch.
Like, come on. Yeah, less, less impulse buying.
Hell yeah. And also yeah, that that what is
it? The razor blade business model.
Yeah, Yeah, you bought, you know, you sell the OR the
printer. The printer.
That's the GTA model that I was talking about, yeah, yeah.
The printer business model whereyou buy the printer mad sheet
but then you get the refilled ink is like more expensive than

(02:17:39):
the actual printer. Well, these games will be $100
then. Speaking to that point, though,
I was reading an article earlier.
You don't know, actually last yesterday I was reading an
article on the train home where they were saying that Nintendo,
yeah, it's like they might be taking a loss on the system.
And if they're if they're not, they're probably making.
And they were, they were talkingabout pounds, 3 lbs.

(02:18:00):
On a console, that's usually thecase.
That's crazy. Companies would make like less
than $10 on a console, yeah. Yeah, but that's common.
Or losing. That's why you never get a
discount. Even if you work at a store.
You don't get a discount on systems because they don't make
money on the system. Yeah, yeah.
They're on a use system, whatever they're not, they're
not charging anything. They they're just getting it

(02:18:21):
from you. But it's sensational.
There's nothing sensational done.
Nothing. So like people won't be able to
find a way to afford the games, but it's the the gateway
consoles which is going to be a problem.
I will say as far as gaming as awhole, is it too expensive?
No, but I think digital games are too expensive.
I think the. That's my, that's my state.

(02:18:43):
Got to be a difference. I think yeah, there's.
No difference. I think developing a game is too
expensive. That's true.
That's the problem with the gaming industry.
Yeah, that's true. That is too expensive.
Figure it out and figure out stuff we don't need, because if
you're spending four, like no, if you're spending 200 million
on marketing, yeah, stop that, stop that.

(02:19:05):
That's too much because then you're losing.
I don't care how much we know about this game, it's going to
go online. Just just tweet or put X about
it, whatever. You could promote it very easily
without spending money. No, for real, word of mouth
shadow drops. That's word that marketing
works. Word of mouth will save you
hundreds of millions of dollars,especially now nowadays.

(02:19:26):
What's up snowing? Making a good game, man.
What's going on? That's it, Sup.
But yeah, the games should speakfor themselves and the the rush
to try and make everything superlike graphical like the hyper
realism needs to go away if it'scosting that much.
I mean, listen, I'm a graphics whore.

(02:19:48):
Say it again. Ho, we got the sound bite that's
about to say. Finally got it.
Yes. Nice.
Yes, I've. Said this before, this is not
new, I'm a graphic. Yes, I was trying to find it.
I was trying to find it. Listen, keep it quiet.
Get this. Say one more.
I am a graphics whore. You're giving us gold.

(02:20:10):
This is great. You could have said my favorite
pimp. Great, no?
No, no, it's. My favorite episode?
Yeah, that is what's my favorite.
I appreciate it when a game looks crispy and beautiful.
Like my chicken? Beautiful.
Like your chicken. Dude that was a waste of a
comment. It was such a waste.

(02:20:31):
Crispy, You were late. You were late.
So I appreciate the hard work that these companies put in and
the artistic flair that they putinto these games.
I'm wild by it. But if that means that you are
shutting down the the company that made the game and there's
no way you can make your money back for doing that, don't do

(02:20:53):
that. Like that's a business one O 1.
Don't do that if you can't recoup.
How much did it cost to make this game?
I don't know, but it it was madeby very few people like this is
30 people. No, this is the standard of how
they should run the business. Yes, heart.
Yes, heart is how you run the gaming industry and the fact
that this is successful, that's what brought tears to.

(02:21:14):
My no hard throw money, throw money at it throw money.
No. Yes, yes, not only is it the
business, yeah, even the even the the the sale price of the
freaking product yes should be the business model.
Like if you don't see the picture, I'm sorry.
Except for the audio listener. 33 thank you.
But that is the standard on how to make a double edged game,

(02:21:37):
whatever they want to call it. Yeah, because because they
didn't. They make it sound less.
Yeah, They make it sound like it's not good.
It's beautiful. It's a budget title.
It's a greatly. Made game and they want to dumb
it down to build middle. It's not.
It's not AAA, it's not good. Yeah, because AAA deserves all
the 90s and whatever the fact that.

(02:21:57):
They paid for it. They paid for those 90s.
Well, I'm saying this game got mid mid 90s reviews and the fact
that it didn't cost them an arm and a leg to make is what
companies should be striving to do.
But the companies aren't in charge.
They're going to say, if we put this in, if we do this, if we,
if we cross-platform with this and this and it cost us this and

(02:22:20):
we get it in this movie and we put on this billboard, that's
going to cost us and we're goingto make the sales.
But we need to make 20 million sales.
And we got to make these shareholders happy.
And we need to do it on day one,Yes.
If we don't do it in the first week, something's wrong and it's
over and everyone's fired. You can't delay the game either.
You have to release it. It has to come.
Out not finish it when we don't.Care release the game.

(02:22:41):
I'll, I'll start catch it later.Our shareholders want it on this
day if it's not out before. They're pulling out, they're
going to take all their money out, all the.
I don't care what it looks like,I don't care what it looks like,
just make it look good. Make it done.
It's done. Damn, that's a patch.
Me. We'll patch it.
We'll fix it in post. Freaking crazy.
Man, that's the word. Fix it in post.
But yeah, that's the there's a lot of problems with the game

(02:23:04):
industry. Pricing isn't the main problem.
I think variable pricing is and the fact that they could say
today it's 80 and tomorrow it's 100, it's going to be a big
problem. Yesterday's price is not today's
price. Yeah, Pandora's Box is open.
It is, yeah. It's fucked up.
They need to figure out the tariffs, damn it, because that's

(02:23:25):
another problem. That's an extra layer.
And that's something we can't even control.
Dark cloud hanging over everything?
Yep. That's right.
I thought Microsoft was safe. Nope.
They make this stuff in China. They were the first.
Ones to freaking. Do that shit.
They're America too. Yeah, that's just messed up.
That's why I was like, there's no way Microsoft is going to no.
Wait, they didn't open up a factory in Denver?
David, do something. Two companies now got me.

(02:23:49):
Nintendo and Microsoft. Sony is Sony.
Is waiting. Sony's like, yo, we're going to
do it tomorrow. They can't stop.
Us well watch them make an announcement.
Sega is like, well, we might as well come on down.
Yeah, $800 Sega system. Now what?
Sony stay to play tomorrow. Watch.
Yeah. Just random they gonna be like

(02:24:10):
and they'll show DLC for Resident Evil Village.
Hopefully we get a Resident Evil9 and whatever the hell
announcement at least. Where's that start?
The summer thing of games, It's usually summer game fest.
Like in the Midsummer, mid, mid June.
Mid June, OK, so a couple of weeks.
Sony pay the play. Sony play the play.
Listen, state and play. Yeah, pay the play and guy

(02:24:33):
garbage. Wow, but.
Tried. Tried.
No one's ever made that joke before.
Oh man, so like how he says thathe said it twice Yes, like he
invented it. They're.
Currently enforcing that this guy.
Wasn't that? Wasn't that clever?
Was that clever? That was.
Clever. That was clever.
This guy is enforcing it right now.
Oh wait, he's gone. Which guy?

(02:24:54):
This guy right here. Oh oh damn, this.
Guy. This guy started it all.
That face, wow, he was such a good guy.
Damn. That face, you think it was his
idea for the price. Listen, it's Nintendo.
He's the face. He's the face of Nintendo.
That's how it goes on the face. It's the brunt.
Well, actually, you might have apoint, because he was arguing
with Reggie about Wii Sports being the packing for the Wii.

(02:25:17):
Yeah. Dude I would love to I.
Would love to be a you know, in Japan it wasn't.
That's right. In Japan, it was not.
It wasn't. Nope, they made millions of fun.
They discriminate against their own people.
Dude if it wasn't they would have sold.
Wow, wow. Made.
The pay extra. The stretch right there, man.
Gee made them pay extra. No, they switched too.
It's cheaper actually. It's kind of actually.

(02:25:37):
It is. It is.
It kind of averaged not to the same price.
American money. American.
Yeah. Yeah, they got them.
That's another thing the yen isn't.
That I don't get it. Yeah, their economy is not the
They have the deflation problem in Japan.
But hopefully this all settles itself and something happens to
stabilize it all because it's stressful as a gamer.

(02:26:01):
I will continue looking at bundles.
Just play indie games in PC. That's it.
That's. All games.
Or I could wait this out and play my backlog.
Yeah, that's it, backlog. Wait it out y'all.
PC games you got? As I buy my switch too.
Which I'm surprised about it. I'm like.
When I told you that up, I said I will.

(02:26:22):
For Mario Kart. Yeah, Mario Kart's the only game
I own for the Switch. My man played Mario Kart once on
the channel. Because who has my Mario Kart?
You could sit right next to me and play.
We're still on the channel. We did split screen before once
once Once you could play I. Didn't know.
That yeah, we played together before.
I thought I couldn't because I gave you my switch.

(02:26:44):
No, you could play. Whatever, but it doesn't look as
good on here so. It's a whore.
It's such a whore. They split the they split the
screen so you got less already to look.
So I play better with a single. Screen I'll have my Mario switch
world and I can say that. Styles play in your your copy.
Yeah, the whole time it's just been there.

(02:27:04):
I'm like. Well, that's my cop.
I know styles been playing in your cop because I lived on my
Cop more than you. I've had it for eight years,
I've had it for a long time and I still have it.
I don't need the cartridge. You know why I played it
yesterday. That's because when he played it
and he was losing and he said no.
We're. Not doing this.
We're not doing this no more, hesaid.

(02:27:26):
I'm tired of losing. I'm.
Not doing the people online, notyou.
He says fuck Mario Kart, fuck Street Fighter Six, fuck all
these horrible rivals. I need to win, damn it all the
time. Oh, really?
But like I said, switch to when I said I would attempt and if I
didn't get it I wouldn't try to.But it was there.

(02:27:48):
I said it's all my Best Buy car.It's all right, man.
We got the we got the sound bite.
I'm happy. I want that by next week out.
Oh, dude, I'm, I'm gonna work onthat shit tonight.
I'm gonna have that shit ready. So happy.
I was like, wait, what? Listen you guys.
Know me, all you had to do was ask.
No, we gotta get you in the act.Yes, I want to.
I want to. It's got to be authentic.

(02:28:10):
It's got to be. Authentic.
Never denied. It's got to be authentic.
It's got to come from you. I'm a graphics whore.
I can flip that on you. But yes, so like I said, the
pricing is annoying and it just as long as it doesn't skyrocket
too much further. Why at all?

(02:28:32):
Because this is the limit. It's pushing it right now. $800
consoles in the future and the juju and the juju.
The juju. People like assuming the prices
of the future. We don't know.
Yeah, we don't know. We don't know.
We don't know what the 88, six or six. $100 now it must be 902

(02:28:52):
years. We don't.
Know $1000 consoles. All right, so.
Yeah. So let us know below in the
comments how you feel about the pricing of games.
Do you think it's too high or are you OK with it?
Or do you see why it's this highand what do you want them to
change about it? Or we'll wait it out and see

(02:29:13):
what happens. Word.
All right. Let's wait till we get to 8K.
What? Sensation.
All right, forget this. Man.
