Series X&S. Wait, that says among us.
Among us. Damn, that was seven years ago.

(06:35):
That's crazy. Fucking yeah.
Well. It didn't get popular right
away. It was years after like it.
Took a minute. Wasn't it a mobile game first?
Yeah. Yeah, I.
Think. So yeah.
Yeah, it had to be like two or three years after.
Kathy Fox, that's pretty accurate.
What happened? He said.
My liquor cabinet, yeah, there'sa lot of things there.
Oh, yeah, There's a lot of shit over there.
I've got a full bar over here now.
Stocked. Stocked.

(06:56):
We got to start drinking wine onthe podcast because we have so
many bottles over there. Are we trying to keep it classy?
Yeah, we got we should have a classy podcast.
Wine isn't bad. Pinky up.
Picky up? You got wine glasses?
Nah, I'm too. I'm too sleazy.
For that. All right, so we're going to
drink it at Red Solo Club. OK, But yeah, Among Us was super
fun game. I didn't do it.
Yeah, exactly, exactly. You try and find out who the

(07:17):
imposter is and you try and sussthem out and eventually you end
up getting rid of the wrong people.
This is a fun game. That sticks to happen to you,
right? Like everyone thought that.
Oh, that was great ganging up. On you like you were the
freaking killer. I said I saw him, I saw him
murder someone. And they they got rid.
Of you. And they said, Nah, you're

(07:38):
lying. I said, oh, I saw the death
lies. I saw him do it.
And it was me. And then?
It that's when it was me who killed the guy in front of.
Him. Mt Summit, Yeah.
Shout out to Mt Summit. We were playing with them.
That was a fun time. That was me who killed who Jay
saw me kill. That was funny.
It's always funny watching this shit happen.
It's like, oh, that was grimy ashell.

(07:59):
This happened so fast. He's just like, but when you do
it, I I can't help but to fucking laugh when I kill
someone. That's like funny, man.
I think it was like maybe in thesecond playthrough I was roaming
with chalk and you were like, and we were just talking
something, something, something.I'm like, yeah, I don't know
where the fuck? Kill chalk in seconds.
Like it was like the grimiest, like piece of shit thing to do,

(08:20):
but but it's, it's fun. It made me go on my I went on my
training day rant when everybodywas accusing me.
I think you could do this to me.But it turned out they were
correct. Have you locked up in Pelican
Bay? Lockdown 24/7.

(08:40):
King Kong ain't got nothing. Is there are there any more
roles besides the imposter? I think they added some some
other ones but. I don't do that but.
They added a lot of, yeah, they added like a freaking VRVR.
There's like a a roamer or some,some shit like that.
They're like, wow, yeah, they added all kinds of stuff, man.
All I know is when you're not the killer, it's terrifying.

(09:01):
It's legit terrifying. I don't trust nobody.
Like no one. Everyone's a liar.
It's one of the greatest premises, yeah, around.
Yeah, simple. And they did it.
They had a they had like a stronghold on my online gaming
for a long time. Yeah, every.
Streamer was every popular streamer was streaming it pretty
much, and they were doing it together too, which was pretty

(09:21):
cool. The hardest thing to do is get a
bunch of people to play it at one time.
Yeah, that was the that was the most difficult thing.
And properly record it 'cause someone has to edit that.
I remember when I was editing it, it was a nightmare.
That was a nightmare. I still have like maybe 2 videos
I didn't do 'cause I'm like, this takes so fucking long.
That was a lot, man. That was a lot.
But it was fun. It was extremely fun.
I wish I gave it a little bit more run.
Dude I want to play the VR1 but it's like I don't want to play.

(09:44):
The video that's too intense, I don't want to do intense, that's
too intense, I don't want to do the VR.
One the guy someone kills. You, I don't want to know what
that probably red screen. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like it's going to scare the shit out of you, 'cause you
see? Oh my God.
Yo, what up, Gizmo? What's going on, Gizmo?
No, he said. Someone made a fighter based off
among us. A fighter.
A fighting game of oh wow, he said.

(10:05):
It's so good that people actually have tournaments with
it. That's actually pretty crazy.
Wow, I got to look this up. That's, that's pretty hilarious.
I got to look. That up?
Never looked it up. I've never seen it.
And then Vampire Survivor you you can play as Among Us
characters with DLC. That's all Word.
Yeah, we haven't. You know what played that?
There's a while. There's I was just thinking
about, I mean this will be a side tangent, but like I was
thinking about a bunch of games.I'm like, yo, we didn't do the

(10:25):
Co-op like on a bunch of these games.
There's a lot of co-ops that we haven't gotten together with
because it's multiple people online, different houses and all
that. We play couch Co-op mostly.
Yeah. So that's why it's been oh.
Shit, this is it. Mass produced was good.
What up man? Is this the is this the game?
Yo this is hilarious. Look at look at yo.

(10:49):
It was twerking. Damn.
Wow, that's a move. Let's twerk.
Yo. My God, that's wild.
Damn. That look like Capcom versus a
gay or whatever. I had no clue.
Man that is funny. Man, what a spin off.
What a spin off. But anyway, Among Us definitely
does get that official level 857.
Seal of quality let's. Go.

(11:12):
Unity, Unitary Unity is it is anaddicting game.
Actually, once you play one round, it's kind of like Marvel
Rivals, how you like you play. One rabble wobble play.
Another Rob, Rob Rob Robble. You have to.
Play another. You can't just do one round, you
have to play multiple. But the one thing though,
before, before we move on, It's like when you are the imposter,

(11:33):
you know exactly and you're playing with your friends, you
know exactly who your first target is too.
Yep. You're like, Oh yeah, I'm
killing him. I'm just gonna follow him.
I'll kill him. You're like your mind is
made-up. Which one of your friends you're
gonna. Kill Yeah.
Immediately you know it's soon to.
Kill me because everyone's gonnacome and get get me for being
alive. You're like, yo, you had to kill
him. I never go after Jay first.
He always goes after B first 'cause he knows the reaction's

(11:53):
gonna be. Chocolate first is always 10 out
of 10. Yeah, it's always a great
reaction. You got to kill Chuck first.
So yeah. What?
I'm asking for news, yo. I got a question for the chat.
Speaking of which, what multiplayer game that's popular
today that we haven't played on a channel that you guys want to

(12:15):
see us try and get on the channel?
Say Mecca break. Oh, is that that Mecca break?
I mean, we have, we have a bunch, yeah.
We should give the games that wehave.
Well, I mean, there was just, I don't know.
I just want to know what they want to see that they haven't
seen on the channel. Maybe you have it or not,
people. 'S.
Opinion because I know there's alot of four player games that we
haven't that been super popular that we haven't even looked

(12:38):
into. We should do a we should take
like we looked at games that we have first for multiplayers.
We should take a bunch, yeah, like 4 and get people and do a
poll. Yeah, we should do a poll.
That's what. That's what, that's what.
And if there's something that wedid not see, let us know.
That's what I was going on. That's what I was.
Going on, I've seen a lot of four player like online games
that have that have gotten superpopular and we haven't touched.

(13:00):
Well, we have. I have.
I could tell you right now I have 5 freaking games that we
have not just. Installed.
I mean things that are getting like but people watching.
So I just want to know if they want to see us play it.
And don't say Bulls Gate 3 because I'm not playing.
No, no, no. That's not the, that's not the
online. That's not the type of online.
Yeah. Oh boy.
Now that's all we're going to request now.

(13:21):
Yeah. How did you say that?
I have it. I do have it but.
You open the floodgates. Yeah, don't.
Want to play it online? Damn, it is fucking hot down
here. Shit, it's getting extremely
hot. I got.
I got to fix that fan. Again, things I'm like missing.
Dom it can go to 100, let it go to 100.
Jesus, this guy. Listen, you live in a rain bars.

(13:43):
We do not. A rain bars.
Turbo's the Lizard stays. On, yes, it's hitting a little
bit better, but I don't know, it's probably going to go back
up better. Yeah, it works.
Yes, yes, yes. It's not a problem, let's Pussy
said. Ghostbusters.
Spirits unleashed. Ghostbusters. 4 versus 1.

(14:06):
Yeah, So Ghostbusters a while ago online, I think Joel played
it. They liked it a bit, but it got
a little repetitive when I was it.
Sounds like. Is that the?
Same one. I think there's like.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was definitely.
That's a good suggestion. Gran Turismo 7.
No mess. We're not playing.
That's not. That's definitely not Gran
Turismo. Racing SIM.

(14:26):
That's definitely not what. You know, we got some beardy
love. What up, Beardy?
Beardy what's yo? Dude, I can't even shout the
name out anymore. He said.
Can't believe I was the fight tothis one.
Shame. Well, we could.
Use your input because there's alot of these games that we
didn't play, so we're going to rely on the chat, yeah, to vote

(14:48):
for us. Yes.
So Speaking of which, it's a long list for tier list, so we
might as well start it now, right?
Yeah, before we see state trolling.
Before we get started, though, let's go over the actual tier
list so everybody knows what we're talking about.
No, not a mercy. Go ahead, man.
So at the bottom, we have never played that means we haven't

(15:10):
played it. Above that we have trash, which
means that we played it and it was garbage.
Above that we have OK played it,had an OK time with it.
Good means, you know, game's good, great.
We had a great time with this game.
We would recommend it to others and at the top is essential,
which means that if you don't play this game, you're stupid.

(15:33):
It just means. Like hold.
Yourself a gamer if you haven't played this and you love this
genre. I mean, honestly, yeah.
It's it's a game that we all highly recommend you play.
And you know, it's worth, it's worth the journey.
I did not look at the list of games on here.
Well, and, and I don't think, I mean, I could be wrong, but I
don't think anything's gonna make it to trash.
Well, just another thing to add.Wait, crackdowns?

(15:55):
I'm on the list. Fuck around and find out.
I guess everything's on the list.
No, but I just wanted to add that this is franchises.
So there's many games in a franchise.
It's not just one game. So it's the franchise as a
whole, as a whole. Exactly.
I mean all the games, even if you played one game out of the
out of the all the games that were released of the franchise,
whatever it is, it still counts.You can still give your input.
What if this game in particularly had like 2 good

(16:17):
ones and the 8 bad ones? Well, that's going to count.
Oh yeah. Especially if you played it so
among everybody, would everybodyhere played?
It's going to be based off of what you played of all of us,
Yes. And we're going to collectively
go through it. We are going to ask the chat if
we haven't played it, Yeah, if you guys have a particular tier
that should go in, yeah, becausethere may be a bunch that we

(16:37):
have not played through. I could tell you right now there
is probably going to be about 3 or 4 that none of us have played
that looks good. I mean it's honestly not bad,
but let's start it up again. I'm curious I'm curious 'cause I
have not even looked at this. Let's fire all right.
So let's start it up the one with the most games franchise

(17:00):
with the most games open world. Open world yes here we go AAA
franchise too. Oh, and I forgot to mention,
because it's a franchise, LA Noire does not count.
Even though it's open world and it's a AAA franchise.
It's not a franchise. It's only one game.
That was another. That was those three other games

(17:22):
I forgot. But yeah, they weren't added on
the list because they are not franchised.
Oh Sleeping Dogs is the other one I just remembered and there
was one other one. I'm only going by what's on the
list though. But yeah, dogs.
And active cats. Holy crap.
Oh, that actually sounds good. Combined.
It works because it works because he takes all of the

(17:45):
fucking buttons. It works together.
We've got to do that more often.All right, so without further
ado, y'all. First game franchise.
Assassin's Creed debuted November 13th, 2007.
Total mainline titles 13 plus. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal

(18:05):
and various Ubisoft studios. Published by Ubisoft.
Available on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Stadia, Switch and mobile.
Assassin's Creed, y'all? By the way, Kathy Box, my voice
is not horse. It's just my voice.
Unfortunately, that's what it isright now.
So Assassin's Creed. Yes.

(18:26):
And it's cool, Jay, you could ride a lot of horses.
Stop it, Assassin's Creed. Assassin's Creed.
Stop. Oh, shit.
I'm starting. Unless you Unless you want to
start with the turbo. I'm passing the turbo because I
need time. All right, Good turbo.
What do you say, man? The series itself, where does it
stick? Where does it stick?
I definitely played it so it doesn't go down there.

(18:46):
It's not bad at all. How many of how many of the
Assassin's Creed games have you played?
Did you play him? I.
Played just about all of them except for like, you know, the
Altier adventures on I don't know what console that was, but
that was not a mainline console.I played just about all of them
except for Valhalla and Shadows.I have not played those yet.

(19:06):
I played Assassin's Creed Chronicles.
Game and Mirage you didn't play either.
I didn't play Mirage but I didn't play Mirage, but I played
most of them and I'm trying to figure out there haven't been
too many mediocre ones. They hit high most of the time.
Well, I say it's an essential series is an essential is an
essential. I feel that Odyssey's got a lot

(19:28):
of fluff. A lot of them have a lot of
fluff, but they're great. Let's go good, great.
Right now I'm going to give a great.
Overall, overall great I'm. Going to say great, it's not
good. It is a great a lot of the real
good ones are bangers. You know when they when it hits,
it hits hard and a lot of the games, some of the games can go
in essential, but I think as consistency rating across the

(19:50):
series great. So there's more great than good.
Get pretty high marks, but not necessarily essential.
Some hit essential, not all of them.
Some more great than good, non essential.
Yeah, it's not good, not good. Like it's just.
Like it's great. Yeah, like Black Flag hits.
Assassin's Creed 2 Brotherhood they hit.
Like the team was. Even great they don't, that

(20:11):
doesn't get enough props. That was great.
The three was good. It was it was good.
The great like, yeah, it's, it'ssolid, great, solid great.
All right, ow, just thinking youturn turbo up at all.
Yes, Oh my God. We don't want to hear him
though. Yeah, yeah, we don't really want
to hear him. Yeah, it's going to be louder.
Thank you. Just to give you a heads up, I

(20:32):
can raise his voice, but it's going to overpower our.
What we're hearing. Let us know in the chat if he
sounds good now, yeah? That's great.
How about sound? Did we have to hear?
Him. I did, yes.
Al, you want me to go next? Yeah.
All right. All right.
I'm actually. Yeah.
So I'm not putting this in. Good.

(20:53):
That's too low. I played one.
I've played all the twos. I've played three.
I played Black Flag. I played Unity.
I played Mirage. I played the one where you're
riding carriages. But I What's with the brother
and the sister? Which one was that?
That was Assassin's Creed syndicate.

(21:13):
Syndicate. Syndicate.
Syndicate, syndicate. Yeah, played syndicate.
Also played few of the other ones that were actually pretty
dope. Played Odyssey.
Wasn't Assassin's Creed to me. Great game, but wasn't
Assassin's Creed to me. Like Origins.

(21:33):
Did not care about Valhalla. I thought they went out of that
direction. Did you play it a low?
Did you play Valhalla low? No, I didn't.
I did not. I had zero interest.
However, I think I might agree with Turbo with the great
assessment because I think it's,I think if I it's messed up
because I want to play Shadow sobad.

(21:55):
And from what I hear, I hear it's incredible.
And that probably would lift me to go to essential for the
series. But because of Odyssey's
nonsense, because that was just 300 the.
Game I see is a lot of bloat. A lot of bloat.
Yeah, it's a 300 the game and then Valhalla, I thought that
was the the way they played would just they fell out of what

(22:18):
Assassin's Creed truly is and Mirage brought it back because
that was a great time. I think if I played Shadows, I
would probably go to essential, but I think right now the series
is great because Mirage brought it brought it back.
And from what everyone said about Shadows, it's probably the
best one in the series from whatI hear, so I'm going great.

(22:40):
Sure. Even if it's essential, well,
it's like it's tough for that one essential game to pull the
whole entire series along with it.
But I think it would average, I think it would average it out.
I think, I think, I think shadows would average it out
because there were a lot of bangers.
What is a lot of? Assassins.
Well, what what were the what were the Assassin's creeds that
that take a Don a peg. Even though Odyssey was a great
game, it took it down to pay because it's not Assassin's

(23:01):
Creed. Got you.
But from I didn't play Valhalla,but that's I could look at it.
That's that's not that's not Assassin.
I refuse to play that because it's not yeah, it's not
Assassin's Creed. Yeah.
That those were pretty weak. I like Origins a lot.
I like Origins, but it was a different play mechanic that I
was kind of like, I'm not crazy about the the new style.
Unity to me, I never got that game with glitches.

(23:23):
So for me that's my favorite in the series.
I love Unity. Unity.
Unity is my favorite in the series.
Black Flag was dope. 3 was dope.Started off slow.
That's the only bad thing about 3 to me is it started slow.
But the story was pretty cool, the setting was cool, the shit
you could do was cool. All part twos were awesome.
All of them were awesome. 1 was a yeah. 1 was a great start to

(23:46):
the series. So there was a lot of mostly
great games in Assassin's Creed lore, but there was some fuckery
going on. And did.
You play Assassin's Creed Rogue.No, I did not.
And he played Freedom Cry, whichwas a DLC for a Black Flag
starring at a Wally who is I think, I think a shipmate for

(24:12):
your your the main character in four.
That was great. Started off as DLC and they kind
of had its own individual mini game.
Great game. Yeah, they're.
Good quality. They're good quality games.
They're all very good quality. Games.
It's Ubisoft. What's up?
But it's Ubisoft. Yeah, but yeah, but it's
Ubisoft, so we give it a trash. No, I'm kidding, but.
It's Ubisoft. Yeah, I'll give it a great.
I'll give it a great. All right, Sticks.

(24:35):
Yeah, I go with y'all because I didn't play any Assassin's
creeds ever. What I think that's the great, I
think. I think it's.
I was just about to say, I don'tthink he's ever played any of
them really, no. I'm saying it's going oh, and I
have no have no say. You got it.
Never played gotcha. That is crazy.
You've never played one all thistime.
I think I played the beginning of three or when you were a kid

(24:57):
or something. Yeah, that's three.
Oh, that was I. Was born to see.
It's an hour and a half of dude.I, I I couldn't get into it
because of the same for the samereason.
That is the only bad thing of the game.
That takes so fucking long to start, but it's when it's it
starts, it's fucking dope. So I have no say on it although.
Great story. APUVP Listen all shorts, the
Internet thinks we hate Assassin's Creed so.
Yeah, because everyone just takes one word that we say and

(25:19):
they just like, take it. It was so bad.
Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, Beardy.
Sometimes it's funny, some of these tier lists like we'll have
something that like is is takes a lot of words at the beginning
and it's like, hopefully the next three aren't like.
This because we're going to be here a long time, no.
We're number one to talk becauselike I said, I have no say in
it. I really enjoyed the Assassin's

(25:39):
Creed play. I can't speak English.
I really enjoyed the Assassin's Creed games that I played.
I played the the first first onethe the the Ezio trilogy, third
one Black Flag, Odyssey and origins.
The only thing I didn't like about Origins and Odyssey were
the level locking. It's like bullshit.
It's bullshit. It's dumb.

(26:00):
Because if I shoot a dude in in the eye with an arrow because
I'm on level 40 and he's on level 50, he stays alive.
That should be taken out of every single game that.
Make it makes sense. That's very.
Strong make it makes very strongshot in the eye with it with a
flaming arrow. All he does is work now and.
He just and he was just like. He blinks a lot.
No, when I when I heard, when I heard that the there was level

(26:21):
locking in that, I was like, no,I'm not playing it.
I refuse to play it. Yeah, some of the quests are
level locked and that's, that's annoying.
That's why I say Unity was peak Unity was peak Assassin's Creed
to me. That's why I said it's Ubisoft.
But yeah, it's. So what do you give?
It's it's no, I'm going to give it a great.
The series on overall for me is still great.
Unity was super fun. And the only Co-op one.

(26:44):
Yeah. And that cult was fucking fun.
Yeah, that cult was fun. I.
Remember playing I remember playing that Co-op a couple
times. I didn't play I just played it
randomly online and people wouldjust run through and just murder
and everyone like chaos everywhere.
Such a fun. Day, they got to bring that back
because that's where it's at. Yeah, that was no the Unity
multiplayer Co-op that it's those missions with dope.

(27:05):
I'm I'm not playing. It seems good.
It's fun. I guess I haven't played.
I'm leaving it on. Great.
OK. Of the games that were
Assassin's Creed, I started withtwo, never played one, started
with two, then played Brotherhood, then I played and I
stopped part three. I stopped because it was
freaking boring. So I skipped that one, never

(27:28):
played Black Flag, then I went to Unity.
Unity played that one, played Syndicate, Mirage, Mirage.
And then I also played the what was that shit?
The the side scrolling one the China I think it was.
That's not a world. China.
Yeah. China, but it's part of the
French. It's China.

(27:50):
Yeah, that was the first one, yeah, which is pretty good.
Anyone's good too. I haven't beaten the Russian
one. What do you give it?
I'm going to agree and keep it on.
I want to, I want to say essential though, because they
they kind of the series or the franchises have been kind of
like going down after Odyssey roller coaster.

(28:13):
And it's it hasn't been like forthe what was it the three games,
Valhalla Odyssey and what's the origins?
Those three games are not Assassin's Creed in my eyes,
they're not Assassin's Creed. So when with with those games, I
can see how it could take it down a peg to to great.
But I'm going to say essential only because I know, even though

(28:35):
I haven't played it, Assassin's Creed shadows got rave reviews,
right? And I know whatever game that
come up with the next Assassin'sCreed most likely will follow
that, you know, the try to true form of how it started, you
know, with the with the stealth and the all.
Right. So overall, it's getting the
great. But yeah, now it's getting a.

(28:58):
Sensational. It's funny how it sounds like
your voice now. It's just not sensational.
Wow. So yeah, sensational.
It's not sensational. It's going in the great, right?
It's going on the great, Yeah, Cool.
I had a feeling as soon as I sawAssassin Creed, I'm like, it's
going to take a minute. To be honest though, after
making like 10 of the same game,the fact that they changed it

(29:21):
completely, it doesn't surprise me that they did do the ones
with different lore completely because people were tired at the
time. They said you got to do
something different. Yeah, because there's been so
many of the same things. Well, they were releasing it
yearly. Yeah, no, it's like, it's like
Mega Man, right? They bring out so many Mega
Man's. It's like, all right, this is
the same game. Yeah, you gotta do something
different. You do have the chance.
Different people put that pissedand then you know, but that's

(29:42):
why they did. I understand why.
I'll give them credit though, even when they switch it up, the
games are still quality games. Yeah.
They're not bad games, it's justnot Assassin's.
That's why they made it so different.
I understand. It's just too much bloat like
Origins. I I like Origins.
They're very and honestly very good games.
There's just there's a lot of bloat.
There's a lot of bloat. Fillers work.
They play for a long time, right?

(30:02):
They do. They play like it's the only
game that's ever gonna come out.Yeah, there's 13 people in the
chat. I want to people speak up.
It's OK, Don't be shy. Hit that like button.
Y'all hit that like button? Blow that hit like that's all.
Right, make the like button blowup.
We're going to get to the secondgame now, though.
Lights up. That's the craziest part.
This is not an Assassin's Creed podcast.
Yeah, yeah, the same in the Assassin's Creed podcast.

(30:24):
You might make it these we. Might as well, but this is going
to be, this is going to be tough.
Just going to let you guys know.See what you got.
So the next game we got. Batman Arkham debuted August
25th, 2009. Four mainline titles developed
by Rocksteady Studios and WB Games Montreal.

(30:46):
Published by Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment.
Available on PS, Xbox, PC, Wii U, Cloud and mobile.
I can switch, I can, I can. I think this is one of the
easiest ones. This is for me.
I can, I can. I can go first.
This is essential, OK? This is There's no other.
There's no other way to think about it.
I think all the games are essential.

(31:08):
Every single one of them. I had the combat's too dope.
You are Batman. Like that is how Batman should
play in a. Game.
Like from the gadgets to the combat.
Also the side characters have the stage layouts.
The you could play stealth if you want or you could just
fucking balls to the wall just attack everybody.
Like everything, the story, voice acting, everything is peak

(31:32):
gaming. If you've been alive during this
time, consider yourself very fortunate.
This is one of the greatest series in the history of gaming.
Period. Essential.
Essential. No other.
No other answer. No other answers.
So better than Batman for Genesis?
Batman for Genesis, what the youtalk about the movie You're

(31:54):
talking about Batman Arkham franchise Bat.
Batman the movie for Genesis is essential.
You say something stupid, you get a stupid response.
But there is nothing that could be disputed about this series.
If it goes lower than essential,that person should be drug
tested as soon as fucking possible.

(32:16):
Except for the VR, that doesn't count, but a lot of people love
that still open world, a lot of people love that will love it.
A lot of people going to say that in Blackgate also.
Is is 1 of the time. It's all right.
It was all right. To Get Me Out the way quick, I
agree essential. These games are amazing even
though it took a little different take on like the last

(32:39):
one which was was the last one they did Arkham.
Arkham. Arkham Knight.
Knight. Arkham.
Yeah, that one took a little bitlower than the others, but.
Still wow, but the cool thing about it, everyone has that
preference which their favorite is in the series is, but they're
all. Essential.
They're all essential. Even with that, overall it's.
Essential. Yeah, that's that's how you
know, you got the the epitome ofgaming.

(33:00):
Yeah, superhero gaming, regular gaming.
I don't give a fuck what you call it.
It's essential. OK, I can't name anything they
did wrong. Even the side scrolling
Blackgate the Batman Arkham origins blackgate.
I heard that was good too. That was good, I heard.
It was good though. I mean it's not the it's like a
watered down version of the Arkham games but it's still
good. Dude when you play these fucking

(33:21):
clips it makes me want to stop what I'm playing and go back
into the series. Like that's how awesome it is.
Because the combat is actually 3D but the the traversal is side
scrolling but it's still 3D. It's like 2.5.
He just stabbed himself. It's good now.
This was good. I played it for a bit.
I didn't get through it. The whole thing, the whole way.
I beat Catwoman, I think. Played it on the beard.

(33:42):
We're going to put you. We're going to put you in time
out right now for saying it was bad.
Wow. Chuck, what you got, man?
I got essential. That game was every game was
super fun Origins, Arkham, Arkham Asylum, Arkham City,
Arkham Knight. And even though Arkham Knight
was super predictable, like the minute I saw the Arkham Knight I

(34:03):
was like oh so I know who this is 0.
Yeah, but I was. Like, but I was like, you know
what? I'm here for it this.
Yeah, hell yeah. That game was super.
Interesting. It's so fun.
Man here for all. Of it it had it had a lot of it
had a couple of twists and turns, but like the only thing,
the only thing I didn't like about that game was the fact
that you didn't get it get to dohand to hand against death.
True, but. And the bosses were kind of made

(34:24):
in. That at night.
Yeah, but Arkham City. Oh, boss fights.
Woo. Yeah.
Well, Origins. Even Origins steps up higher
than. It even Origins Origins has some
of the best sports origins. Is very underrated.
It's funny about Origins. I played, I had to play it
twice. The first time I played I had a
horrible experience because I played on the PS3, had tons of
issues, glitches, all that shit.It's been fixed though.

(34:45):
Years later, I think it was what, two years ago, I think it
was I played or last year. So it holds.
Up. I forgot it now, though played
the PC version up updated, you know everything was smooth and
holy shit, man, that was that was I'm glad I did that love
that game. I'm glad I did that.
I love that. Game.
So yeah, there's a reason why people want Rocksteady to only
make Batman. Right, right.

(35:05):
You don't want them. To do anything else, yeah,
except maybe a Justice League. Make make every type of Batman
game possible. If it ain't broke, don't fix it
or make a Robin game. They broke it.
Or how about a Batman and Robin game?
Yeah, come on man. Or just do it Robin if you don't
want better. Just not a sword, that's why.
Would you, would you say turbo? No, I heard there was a rumor

(35:25):
that they were. I think it was a scrapped idea
where they were going to make Damian Wayne take up the mantle.
I heard that. Batman.
I heard no, fuck that. A ways, brother.
I heard this. I'm not.
I'm not about Damian Wayne. I'm not about that shit. yo-yo,
what's up? Not Sir.
What up, Sir? Damon Wayne that'll.
Be dope, the Wayne brothers bad.Now we got to move on from that

(35:49):
turbo. What's your what's your, what's
your consensus turbo? Predictably, yes, it's it's has
to be essential. There's been four games in this
franchise so far and even the weakest game is like, you know,
it's still a top tier. The series always fires on all
cylinders when it comes to voiceacting, production, umm, story.

(36:11):
The story. Like if you're if you're like a
Batman freak who's into like thelore, if you like the comic
books, if you like the animated series that used to come on.
There's Easter eggs all throughout the Arkham games and
they just do a great job. Even from Origins, they that
gets a lot of Flack. I think it's underrated.
I think it's presentation is awesome.
I think it has some enhancementsfrom City.

(36:33):
But yeah, essential has to be this is this is the model for
superhero games in the modern, the modern era of gaming.
And people, people always forgetthat in the original Ark of
Asylum for the Xbox 360, back when you could plug in your iPod
and play all your choice, you play the music of your choice.
I would play the 1989 Batman Mike Keaton theme song.

(36:57):
With throughout with the costume.
Right, the costume was in the ITwasn't fortunate it was in it
was only a night only a night, but I'm pretty sure there's a
way you can play that song in there.
There's AI think you could got PC?
I'm sure on PC they got more than or some games allows you to
log into Spotify while you're playing.
I did that with state of decay and I was able to play Walking
Dead type shit. But like, that's a different

(37:18):
experience. Oh yeah, it's a.
Different. I missed that feature that was.
I know man. It's definitely an essential
game everybody should play. Absolutely.
Regardless, if you like the openworld at all, you have to play
this game. Word and Al, we probably know
your answer. I mean, Jesus, I already said
it. Yeah, that's it's nothing.
I mean we're it's it's essential.
I just have to say that like, like it says a lot when you play

(37:39):
a game years ago and you had a crappy experience because it was
glitches and stuff, and then I played it years later.
That game. Ages and it was like blew my
mind man, if anyone. Here age is perfect.
Oh no, if anyone here said it was lower than essential they
they need to get slapped and if anyone in the chat said that
they would have to get blocked. Gotham Knights, even.
I was gonna. Say you want to remake Gotham.
Knights, even the weakest game in the franchise, which in my

(38:02):
opinion would be better than most the VR that in my opinion,
that would be like the weakest game and also yeah, and I what I
still would say that I won't accept that Gotham nights
slander. First of all, I won't accept
that from especially from someone who has not played the
game and what do you mean not you talking about Sam man,
someone's not playing the game and and Gotham nights.

(38:23):
What are you talking to? You just said Gotham Nights
though. I heard you.
That's not by. That's not even by them.
It's a joke. I don't want to hear it.
It's not by. I won't take, I won't take the
slander. Stop by bro.
Listen, I won't take the slanderfirst.
It's not a franchise. Brothers Montreal, I think, Who
did a, you know, origins so. Two player Co-op Gotham Knights
doesn't count because it's not it.
Doesn't lift the Arkham. It's not, it's not Arkham.

(38:44):
You know, let him talk. I'm saying it doesn't hold a
candle to Arkham, you know? That you didn't play it well,
the franchise guys is. Did that hold the candle?
It does Co-op, first of all, it's the Arkham franchise first
of all, so if it doesn't have Arkham in the title, it's not
part of the franchise. There you go, That's all I
wanted to say. So it's an essential.

(39:06):
Of course, obviously it's it's an essential guys, it's an
essential. So we got one essential the
Arkham series. I don't think anything's going
to get the trash. I just don't think it's going to
be anything. I hope something does because
it's always fun. I mean, I pre let me look at
that. Imagine if somebody made a trash
franchise. Like damn, it's a franchise.
In this trash like, yeah. Bad games I.
Got one. I got one for.

(39:27):
You you have fun. Well, hopefully we didn't play
it. Hopefully it's not on the list.
I'm looking at the list right now and I'm what's next?
Yeah, I don't know if I don't know if there's any trash.
Well, let's see if this is the next one.
So so the next one. Borderlands debuted October
20th, 2009. Three mainline titles with a

(39:51):
bunch of spin offs like Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and Tales
from the Borderlands. Developed by Gearbox Software,
published by 2K Games. Available on PlayStation, Xbox,
PC and Switch and Beta. Didn't they go to four?
They're they're up to three, huh?
Not up to 4 yet. 4 is not out yet.
Yeah, they just announced 4. According to the Internet, this
is trash. Is it?

(40:12):
Now. Really.
Yeah. Oh, I have.
No, I have no idea. Dude, they don't like whatever
they say about four. It's crazy.
It's crazy. I don't know if the.
Movie Well, they didn't they didn't like the movie.
I'm saying the. Movie was that bad that it
killed this? Like this was a popular
franchise. Yeah, like Borderlands was super
popular, but according to the Internet now it's like they
can't do anything, right? Well all I know is I have never

(40:32):
played these games so just leaveme out of it.
I never played it either. That's 2.
I played all right. I played the first one and the
third one. You did?
Yeah. I had fun.
Really. Those games were fun.
It's like a gun collection thing, right Looter?
Shooter, it's like a looter shooter, but it's I know the
third one was multiplayer. Y'all done?
The third one was multiplayer. Yeah, I had.

(40:57):
I had a lot of fun playing thesegames.
Yeah, I'm sorry that that that that movie ruined it for
everyone. It really did.
It really did. I didn't see it.
I kind of now I kind of want to see it, I think.
Nobody actually, I think no one actually saw it.
I think no one actually saw it, yeah, but it just soured the
franchise. Crazy.
When they put they released it in theaters and like I think
like. Two days later.

(41:17):
Was that well it? Was like less than a month
They've released it in streaming.
Yeah. Like that's not bad at.
Trying to trying streaming. That's crazy.
As far as the series go, even though I didn't play all of
them, I would I would give it a good.
I had a good time playing these games man.
If you like first person shooters you'll you'll probably
enjoy Borderlands. Multiplayer too though.
What a great and doesn't doesn'tget to a grave for your chalk.

(41:40):
No, the the third one you like each individual character you
had had individual stats and everything and individual
abilities. So it was, it was cool how you
could level up your character and, you know, turn them into
either a tank or like a healing machine or like superpower, you
know what I mean? Like so yeah, I'm going to leave

(42:02):
it at good though. Somebody was surprised.
It was good. What does the What does the chat
think? Does the chat agree?
Somebody was surprised that the movie was bad.
That's funny. I think, I think I could take
that like as a grain of salt, but you know, it's funny.
I only played Tales of Borderlands or Tales from
Borderlands. The Telltale Games.

(42:22):
Yeah, I've only played that. I never played Borderlands ever,
but it was hilarious. That game was hilarious.
But yeah, never was a fan of thelooter shooter type aspect of
it. And damn sure I wasn't like
hyped to change my guns. Like I was not a fan of like
just making the gun of my dreams.
I don't care. So I never played Borderlands

(42:44):
but it seemed decent, but I can't we're just playing Tales
of Borderlands. I can't give a rating on this on
the franchise rating, but it washilarious, I'll give it that.
And you never. Played it right?
Nah, I never played. Too, Al, you never played it.
I never played the series. All I know is that the bad guys
name is Handsome Jack. Yes.
In the first one or the second? One, that's all I know that.

(43:04):
Might be the second no? Handsome Jack, that's his name,
that's all. I didn't play the second one, so
we throw that shit in. Good.
He was in tales. So it's going in the good.
I think it was good man. Chad agrees.
We're going with good. I trust Chalk's analysis.
Don't let chalk get away with it.
What did you talk? I just legit said I trust chalk.

(43:25):
F said. Don't.
Let chalk get away with. It let chalk get AW.
I'm surprised. Being four players, I'm
surprised we never played. It.
What's first person? Y'all barely wanted to play Halo
when it almost came out. The way through the way too
long. I'm not a fan, you know, It's
crazy. If it's third person, I will. 9
times out of 10. I'll probably play.
Oh yeah, 9 times out of 10. But I'm not into looter shooters

(43:48):
either, so that's the selling point.
That goes in good. What's the What's next?
The next one is. Crackdown debuted February 20,
2007. Three mainline games developed
by Real Time World Roofing Games.
Sumo Digital, published by Microsoft Studios, available on

(44:10):
Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Why don't they give away this
goddamn French? Because it's the same game they
released three times. There is a crackdown on Genesis.
Does that count? Because I played that.
I did play that. It's it's different.
It's not. It's not, it's not.
I never played this. I can't say it.
I'm pretty sure Turbo never played this.
I'm pretty sure Jay never playedthis.

(44:31):
I'm pretty sure Al never played this.
And no Chalk played it. Chalk you get 2 in a row.
Chalk two in a row. What is the rating on this one?
Right. Chalk is winning right now.
Come down to chalk. Go take it down a peg.
OK. OK.
So Crackdown is very interestingbecause it's the best.
It's a good two out of three. The first game was super fun

(44:56):
because it was like the concept was new.
It was very destructive. Why do we have a black screen
right now? We're on still OK.
Yeah, we're still live. So yeah, Crackdown one was fun
and just you could throw cars and just throw people around.
It was fun game. Crackdown 2 was the same game

(45:18):
with more enemies, Yes, and yeah, it was.
It was essentially the same gamewith more enemies.
And depending what skills you use in all three, across all
three games, you increase your driving stat, your shooting
stat, your strength stat. I heard crackdown was good after
you're powered up beyond belief.When you're powered up beyond

(45:38):
belief, it is stupid fun becauseyou could just, you could
literally run around carrying a car and throwing it at people.
Like, it's like you're the Incredible Hulk but you're a
cop, Collect. Orbs.
Yeah, and and the orb collectinggot addicting.
And what about 3, which is what you're seeing here?

(45:58):
Crackdown 3 is arguably the bestlooking of the three you.
Didn't like the cloud gaming aspect of it.
The. It was.
The weakest of the three. Come on, I know you want to say
it. Dude, it was just, it was bland.
It was but the cloud process. It was bland and it wasn't what

(46:19):
they promised. They promised fully a fully
destructible city. None of that God damn city was
destructible. None of none of it.
What was destructible was the rating.
Yeah, you destroyed the franchise.
Destroyed the game, everything. 'S destructible, all right, So
the first two were cool, yes. The third one was like bro.

(46:42):
Terry Crews, though. So 2 out of 3.
Two out of three. I'm going to put this in the OK.
I can't put it in good now. I can't.
I can't I? Can't.
I can't. In good confidence, put that
like 'cause people respect our opinion and like trust.
US. To give A to no, to give them,
to give them like solid advice. So I'm going to say.

(47:04):
Chad says Terry Crews deserves good at least.
I'm going to say put, I'm going to say play this at your own
risk. I had a good.
Time playing. No one's playing Crackdown.
But it's it's gotta go into the OK category.
I appreciate that assessment. Sure, because you gave you gave
a disclaimer, you gave a warning, yes, and you played
very, but you were very honest with your experience.

(47:25):
'Cause it's not utter trash. So it can't, it can't go into
the trash category, but it's notjust above trash.
It's not really good. I think we know trash.
Like, we could look at trash, but when you play something and
you have some sort of, you know,entertainment.
Yeah, some aspect. I feel like trash is like you
can't recommend the game broke at all.
I can't recommend, can't play it.

(47:46):
I wouldn't recommend trash. Cafe Fox, you don't trust us
entirely. It was just listen if it was
just three though. If it was just three, I'd have
to go in. Trash.
Hey here here folks. And we'll leave it at that.
Yeah, if it was just three, it would have to go in the trash.
We. Call it an average, right.
We're doing averages, Yeah, that's it, I mean.
That's what it is. It's the average based on this.

(48:08):
I will I will give 3 did have the the most fun gadgets you had
like a flight pack that you could glide with.
I was like yo, you can glide across the city with that shit.
It's. Hell, divers all.
Day, but yeah. Pilot Wings.
No, not pilot wings, but anyways.
But yeah, yeah, it's OK. Man, it's OK, all right?

(48:28):
It's going in OK. Put it in OK.
There we go. So far, yeah, we got one in
like, OK. Yeah, because.
Spread it out. Pause.
I forgot to do the the side listfor Chuck to keep track of the
what's on the tier list. So I'm just going to keep
repeating it. Every time we do the tier list,
I'm going to repeat what's in the what's in the list so that
way we don't have to keep recapping it.

(48:49):
What's next? So on the top is essential.
Now what's next? All right, OK, I see what we're
doing here. I see what's going on.
Yeah, he said. OK, here I try to speak and

(49:10):
can't hear it myself because, like, what's that?
I hear someone else talking. Anyways, AL's reaction was
amazing. He said OK, all right, so in
Essential we have the Batman Arkham franchise.
In great, we have Assassin's Creed, Good.
We have Borderlands and OK is Crackdown.

(49:31):
That's what we got so far, y'all.
Crack. OK, Joe Crack.
And the next game we have on thelist.
Don't play that game. Don't play that game.
Darksiders debuted January 5th, 2010.
Four mainline games developed byVigil Games, Gunfire Games,
Airship and Syndicate. Sorry, published by THQ and THQ

(49:53):
Nordic. Available on PlayStation, Xbox,
PC and the Switch. You know what's crazy?
I think it's Part 2. That's actually two player Co-op
turbo split screen. Yeah, I've seen it many times
and people have been raving about it, and the fact that we
haven't played it makes me upset.
Yeah, I've known about the series for a while.
Yeah, and. Yeah, very Zelda.

(50:13):
Isometric one. Yeah, Zelda.
Zelda Boulder's Gate type shit. So let me ask everybody here,
who here has played any of thesegames?
Not I. But it's funny, it's negative,
you know, it's funny through thefree games, like, you know, the
PlayStation Plus and all that. I think I have 123 and that
weird 4th 1. Really.

(50:33):
Yeah, never played. It I only played the first game.
It looks interesting. I only played the first game,
beat the first game. It's Joe Maddart, right?
It's Joe Maddart. I was going to.
Explain Joe Maddart. Yes, go ahead.
Joe Matarerera, the comic book artist, is the guy who produced.
He has a video game studio and this was his first game.

(50:55):
That's what made me interested in playing it, yeah, but I
never. Had beardy says so good.
Wish they'd continue this story so bad.
Third was a little boring but good. 4th changed everything up.
How about two? I know 2 got a lot of this is a
lot of good things about it. Was three nights.
I was going to play it. I don't remember to be.
I didn't know there was a three and four-game.
I was going to talk about my experience.
I was going to say before you guys go to everyone else, no, I

(51:18):
was going to say that this is very, very much plays like
Zelda, but what was dope is it'slike a it's like a dark version
of Zelda. That's much cooler.
And I love the the, you know, the, the boss battles and the,
the items and stuff. I like the puzzles in the game
too. Always wanted to play the second
one. Never got a chance to play it.

(51:40):
Yeah, I keep it's been it was been on my backlog for a while
and Beardy says 2 was their peak.
Really. Yeah, so shit.
And that's the I don't know if the other one's a Co-op, but I
know that too is and I was kind of upset that I never got a
chance to play it, but who knows.
It's never too late. It's never too late.
Man, this is not everyone's backlog basically.
Yeah, but I'm gonna I'm gonna put this one as far as my vote

(52:00):
on where I would put this. I've only played the first game,
but I had a wonderful time like I would recommend you got it'll
probably be good now it holds the test of time like you see in
the gameplay here. Does it look bad?
Not barcode, not at all. What's up Barcode?
It still holds up. Barcode.
Not always look like it held up,I just never had time to play it

(52:21):
for. Some reason I will put this, you
know what The thing is, it's hard to it's hard because I only
played one game out of the series.
So it's I can only judge it fromwhat I played.
So if I'm going to put, I'm going to say great for the first
one, for the And you know what? That's the only game I played.
And we'll see how the chat matches up with that assessment.

(52:41):
Yeah, chat for people who playedthis series.
Let us know what you think. Where does this belong on the
tier list? Barco Barco Teacup. 1/2 are
great, yeah, and. Three says everyone says 3 is is
OK. So I would say we'll probably
round out about good then. Beardy, Beardy.
Well, if you got 2 greats against, well, no, no.
They're talking about individualgames.

(53:02):
So Beardy, what do you assess the whole series?
Barcode, same thing. Anybody else who Beardy says
this belongs in. Great.
OK, so. OK.
OK, so he thinks the series. All right.
What about Barcode and anyone else who's played the series?
I think this belongs in Battle Chasers.
Battle chasers, that's. All I got to.
Say such a self RPG. I'm also a comic that never

(53:22):
ended. That game was like.
Nine books, that's it. 10 maybe?I'll chase.
The game is tough. I have 10 bucks all right.
So great or good? Hope says great or good.
Beardy says great. I think it might be going in
great. There's a fourth one.
That changed Barcode. Barcode says he leans to great

(53:43):
overall mass produce says good. So we have a great a great or
good, a great and a good and I say I say great.
So I think it's great it's greatyeah, I said great.
So yeah, there it is going in the great.
Thank you, Chad. Appreciate it.
That's. Making me now want to play the
series. We got to rock with.
Too Resident Zelda fan has neverplayed freaking.
Because it's not Zelda. So just to recap.

(54:04):
It's not Zelda. There's no Link in there.
Just to recap real quick, central Batman Arkham series
great is now Assassin's Creed and Darksiders, Sliders, good is
Borderlands and OK is crackdown.How many games we got?
By 87. That was 2027 games.
Oh, we don't have to do a recap after everyone, because we're

(54:24):

next. What do we got?
I still want to play Darksiders though.
I I would love to play. I would love to play.
No, I recommend it. I would definitely I recommend
holds up. All right, let's see here.
Is the 4th 1 multiplayer Chad? Let me let me know.

(54:45):
I know it's different. We have Dead Rising debuted
August 8th, 2006, four mainline titles developed by Capcom and
Blue Castle Games published by Capcom on Xbox, PlayStation, PC,
and the Wii. Oh yeah, I played one for like a
couple of seconds. Yeah, doesn't count, so I never

(55:07):
played it. Yeah, Get Me Out of this one.
I played one and I thought it was boring as hell yo.
Next I played two for. Damn, that was mean.
I played two for like an hour soI can't really count that
either. Wasn't my type of game.
I played one, wasn't. I played one.
Got up to the second boss and yeah the same thing was like.
Didn't like it, I just. Didn't click with me.

(55:29):
Yeah, didn't click with. Me what?
About you, Turbo. I've never played any of these.
They're open world. Yes, yeah, yes.
Kind of disorder, I guess. OK.
It's open mode, never play them.It's Night of the Living Dead,
basically, and you're in the mall and you're just surviving.
Surviving from a zombie get. The Mega Man suits you things.
It's weird, but yeah, I don't. I never put.

(55:51):
Like a Easter egg Mega Man arm cannon and stuff.
No, I haven't played it. Chad, where you want to put
this? I want to put it in trash.
Ohh, Whoa, whoa. I mean, whoa.
Didn't beat the game. We haven't, we haven't we
haven't played it enough. I didn't.
Like it? We we haven't played it enough
to even even make that assessment I got for the second
boss. That was it.
I thought it was trash. I mean, I didn't play it.
We can't put it in trash. So we got you got it's not.

(56:13):
Going to go I actually. We got to play through.
The game? I asked.
Chat. You know what I'm saying, Jack
I. Mean said, according to me.
You can't put your hate upon thechat, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, You influence the chat saying hey.
This is if I hate a game it's going in trash but I'm asking
chat. Stop being such a hate on those
things. You can't help it man.

(56:35):
He's drinking that hater juice right there.
Damn. Check that bottle bro.
Check that bottle. Episode 370. 370 I've had enough
of these. See.
Oh yeah, the spirit, he said. I hated it.
The game timer. I have anxiety.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the timer.
Man, that was another thing. Yeah, that's stupid.
I forgot about the timer. Yes, that was annoying.

(56:56):
There's nothing good about. This hope the gamer said below
good. Cafe Fox said trash.
Wow, we got a trash and a below good so that would be an okay
and a trash actually never played it so we can't use it.
Anyone who's played the game, can you give us a vote on what
you guys think? Because if not, we'll just throw
it in. Never played.
Yeah, can't believe it's got so many.

(57:17):
I got a lot. I never was interested and I
love zombie shit 'cause I put the state of the state of the
case is peak. That's peak zombie shit.
But this is like the thing that baffles me.
To me, it was always clowny. It's like the thing that sold it
to me was the fact that it was azombie game.
And I'm like, oh OK, Beardy said.
These are just OK. Defa has some random fun killing
zombies and just time to ruin this experience.
So he how? About Did you even play this?

(57:38):
I've never played these, no. Never never played them, not
even like on Dreamcast. OK, now the only time I played
Dead Rising was when they appeared in Project Cross Zone.
That's the only time I played isthat character.
That doesn't count. So we got one.
OK Anybody else? Anybody else?
Everybody said it was bad, but we got an OK.

(58:02):
Do you want to put in OK or you want something in trash?
Well, only only if someone's played it.
I can't put something. Yeah, if no one's played it,
that's unacceptable. 5 minutes does not count.
Because if that was the case, then we could all.
We got below good, so that's OK.Below good is OK and Beardy said
OK, so we'll throw it in. OK So it's going in OK OK All
right, OK. Could have been the 1st and

(58:24):
lesbian people just said no but yeah if.
Any franchise that's close to being in trash.
Yeah. All right.
That's open world brilliant. Listen, I love Capcom.
Who cares? All right.
Should I put it ahead of crackdown or OK, I don't think
because I don't know, I don't think, I don't think anyone
cares. Sorry, not care.

(58:45):
Shot got fun playing crackdown do.
Not that's a good. Point.
That's a good point. I'll put it.
I'll put it behind Crackdown. All right, good point.
There you go. Crack, crack, crack.
All right, here we go. I'd be shocked if any of us
played. This Destroy All Humans debuted
June 21st, 2005. Four mainline titles plus

(59:06):
remakes of one and two and spin off Path of the Furon, developed
by Pandemic Studios for the originals Black Forest Games for
the remakes published by THQ andTHQ Nordic.
Available on PlayStation, Xbox, PC and the Switch.
I can start. I never played.
Dude, did the remake come out during the pandemic?
That would be irony. And we came out during the

(59:29):
pandemic. Pandemic studios if we came out
during the pandemic during the remake, that'll be pretty Oh
that's that's marketing right there exactly branding my
boyfriend. I never played this.
I heard the. Beardy said this has four games.
That's what I said. Yo, for real?
Yeah, that's what I said. I said what?
The dude. I heard great things about the
game, I just never played it. I never played it either.
Is this like a budget title? No.

(59:51):
No. No.
It's one of the. It's one of the because I'm
like, how the heck did? This get in the but it is a AAA.
Right, it's one of the better like open world games.
I just never played it. This is silly.
I've never had a desire play. I've never because Dead Rising
is silly. Well, that's but but silly.
But it's silly also, is it? Is it fun to play?
I haven't played this, so I can't.

(01:00:12):
I can't have a rating at this atall.
I don't. Same here.
Yeah, this is the game right here.
Oh, this looks kind of cool. Rack, Rack.
I'm telling you. So you're an alien flyer.
I'm just killing. It's done very well.
I like the concept. I like the concept of you're an
alien. Like it's silly.
Like he likes. Another title that we haven't
talked about yet, so I'm not gonna say right, but it's silly
like that type. Of game, that's the.

(01:00:33):
Joke, but you know it's fun to play.
Act I. Just haven't played it though
so. Yeah, I never played so.
Either we leave this up to the chat or it goes on and never
played. Never played.
Has anyone in the chat played it?
'Cause I'm let's turbo played it, I'm pretty sure.
Turbo did not. Yeah.
Imagine he's like goes the best thing.
What? You played all four?
I. Played all four of them and I

(01:00:54):
love. Them and then he googles the
information on. Yeah.
I was reading the what was that game?
He shot a lie on the podcast. He's like, yeah, put that game
on there. You lie and ask, you ain't never
played a fucking. Game.
It was that wack bean him up. I forgot some justice lost just.
I never. Heard that game was trash.

(01:01:15):
Never heard of that game. He looked like a homeless Cody.
Get the fuck out of here. Table's gonna be like yo, I
heard that the aliens openness, it's fun to play as the alien.
It's fun to play. As the alien barcode says.
It's just silly. Fun OK or good OK?
Paul said. It's goofy and dumb, dumb AF
kind of fun. Some of the side content can be

(01:01:35):
annoying it looks. That sounds like OK to me it.
Sounds like OK. Sounds like an OK guys.
Not unless someone disagree. Yeah, we'll give.
You unless somebody wants to sayit's.
Good. Seconds, Paul C said.
Paul C said it was. I would say it's good, I love
it, but you have to really want to play that kind of humor to
enjoy it. Kind of like Saints Row and Hove
the Gamer talk about it again. Hove the Gamer says meh.

(01:01:56):
What translates as a OK? All right.
I think it's going in OK. I think it's going OK, all
right, OK. We know OK when we see them,
which. One of these titles is so bad no
one's ever played it. Yeah, imagine I don't.
Know, man, I don't know. What we got next?
Next game. Oh man, this one I wish I
played. Dying Light debut January 27th,

(01:02:19):
2015. Two main line titles, Dying
Light and Dying Light Dying Light Human, developed and
published by Tech Land, available on PlayStation, Xbox,
PC, Switch and I guess that's the cloud version.
Yeah. Loud.
It's a turbo interrupting. Always almost have to do it
almost had me spitting out my beard.
Read the Room. Dude.

(01:02:40):
You interrupt the shark. Shark.
Shark is reading the damn. Title.
I didn't say nothing. You mute.
What it's time? Light dude, I got to mute your
mic. What I say?
What I say you said, you said Dying Light.
I was talking about. Oh yeah, I did.
Say that. Wow, he said.
What I say. What are you?
What are you, Rick James? I didn't say nothing.

(01:03:01):
Oh yeah? What the fuck?
Wow. Yeah, he's drunk.
That's why he's drunk. Turbo is drunk as hell.
Let's make this one quick. Never played it.
First person never played it. Never played it.
Never played. I want to play the series but I
never got a chance to play. It's on my backlog.
Turbo didn't play this shit at all.
I thought you guys said Guiding Light, that soap opera from the
80s, but no, I. Wow, wait, wait.

(01:03:22):
A date yourself, all right. Guiding like Jesus.
Oh boy, no. I've been wanting to play this
man. Beast looks good, the new one
they got delayed a little bit. That looks dope.
Still first person though, so it's it's off the list for me.
Anything that's first person is always off the list for me.
I'm intrigued by the parkour andthe just the zombies man.

(01:03:44):
I think it'd be fine. I'm not playing anything.
It looks fun. Parkour, Parkour.
Parkour, Parkour. Yeah, Chad, you played this.
Has anyone played this Dying light dying?
Could be the first one going in and never played because none of
us touched this game. Actually surprised that this is
the first one that's on. I always get it mixed up with
another zombie game which is similar title and I'm sure it's

(01:04:06):
probably on the list also, so I'm not going to say, but yeah.
If I'm if I'm going to just throw something out there real
quick, I think that Chartreuse kind of made you sound a little
bit more clear. I'm just throwing it out there
Sticks. Wow, I'm just trying.
To Beauty said Dying Light is a nerve wracking zombie game.
The parkour feels good. Night time is horrifying.
Honestly, it's not bad. OK, doesn't look bad.

(01:04:29):
It doesn't look bad. So you're saying it's OK or?
Good, OK or great even? Is it even?
Is it great? Is it great?
We got that more than one vote though.
We have one vote, then it's going to go in inevitably.
Is it going to go in good? Never played.
Never played. Let's go to never play.
Let's put it never. Played all right, Go to.

(01:04:50):
Never played. Interesting, looks good but
never played. Yeah.
No one said that. Yeah.
Oh, that's one of my favorite buttons.
Next. They said demonetization.
That's exactly what it is. Don't hit the button too early.

(01:05:10):
The 1st 5 minutes it's gone. Welcome to the podcast.
Oh shit, that we. Ruined everything.
All right. Next game.
Oh. Boy.
Next game. The Elder Scrolls debuted March
25th, 1994 The Elder Scrolls arena 5 main line games with
test 6IN development elder stoodElder Scrolls six test 6 anyways

(01:05:37):
developed and published by by Bethesda game studios and
Bethesda software available on. Food.
Let the guy read man come. On available on PC, Xbox
Foundation and mobile. Terrible, said Bethesda.
You could you? Had man.
You can count me out of this, I never played.

(01:05:58):
Yo I was looking at the box and I said this is some gauntlet
shit I never see. Elder The Elder Scrolls is
everywhere. Okay, Elder Scrolls.
That I've never played, so I've never played.
Either we'll leave this up to Turbo because he played
multiple, I played which one, I played Oblivion.
I played Oblivion. I loved Oblivion.
Could not get into it. I did love that game, but it's
like I didn't play through it. I put, I put about 15 hours into

(01:06:21):
oblivion and I could not get into it.
Oh, this is this is going to be an interesting vote because I
was. Encumbered and I you've been
encumbered, encumbered. So I would, I'm not going to say
the game is bad, but I'm going to say it's just not for me.
It doesn't grab you. Go to Elder Scrolls, something
grab you. What did you say about this?
We'll leave it up to you. I would say I played Oblivion in

(01:06:43):
Skyrim to death. I played a lot of the for
Oblivion, I played the Fighters Guild.
I think it's if I have it right,the Fighters Guild storyline
that was very in depth, very deep and even I played the whole
game in 3rd choppy third person nice for Oblivion and I loved

(01:07:04):
it. I loved it and the the series
had me hooked. Once you like kill somebody and
you take off yeah, you steal their clothes, their sword,
their shield, you take everything and I'm like, oh wow,
I'm just wearing what this dude was freaking trying to kill me
with this is crazy. Did you play it off the I didn't
play the remake yet. I haven't downloaded, but I did
not play it yet. But I do have I have a lot of

(01:07:25):
things downloaded. I haven't played.
I got to stop that, but it's a top I I would play Oblivion and
Skyrim and they're both top tierfreaking open world games.
So I'm gonna say essential. I'm looking forward to the 6th 1
and I'm gonna nab that. That's gonna be like a day one.
So I'm. Not mad at that.
I think that agrees with, I think with Beardy and Barcode,

(01:07:48):
yeah, they both said, they both said essential.
Anyone who played an Elvis game?Paul and Paul C said it's the
essential open world kind of game, so.
Oh, sorry. I guess that's essential.
Yeah, that's essential. That.
That it got me into that like itwas the first type of medieval
open world game where I just like wanted to go in every cave.
I just wanted to just keep walking.
And it was just the systems and the crafting.

(01:08:11):
It was just it was it was reallygot me into that type of and I
every time I and after I played Oblivion, I was like, they
should do a Zelda like this. That was Oblivion.
And when it happened to Skyrim, I was just like, oh, they got a
when they evolve Zelda, they gotto do it.
And they deal with Breath of theWild.
So yeah, I, I it's central. And I and I do agree with
Beardy. We do need help.

(01:08:32):
Oblivion Oblivion maybe want to play it even though it was first
person so that goes to show you something.
And the characters were all uglyas hell.
Oh, they're hideous. I can't tell the men from the
women. I'll say the still like, wow.
I say the voice acting is hilarious.
Neither could this. That's the one thing I enjoyed.
I enjoyed the voice acting. I'm like, did you see the real
man jawline? I don't know who that.
Is the game was hilarious. There was so many glitches.

(01:08:54):
Hilarious but like funny glitches.
Is that amazing Norman? Like this guy?
Like this? I don't lizard this guy.
Scary. A lizard man.
Scary. The remake.
The remake looks a lot better, yeah.
But yeah, as far as open world, that's one of the essentials.
Livian is going in the central, definitely not ahead of Batman,
but yeah, yeah, I didn't put it ahead of Batman.
How about I say don't do that? I didn't know that's a rena.

(01:09:16):
That's ow. Don't do it.
I didn't even do it. That's weird.
Arena doesn't even go in there. But you know what?
I haven't played the first threelike Marilyn was like I.
Think that was no one was talking about those.
Livian, but they look so old I don't think I can get into them
now. Yeah, I.
Know what's talking about those?Yeah, we just put it on the on
the list, so all right. So we're not going to 2D
overhead games, no. Damn, oh, hate is real here.

(01:09:40):
I think Skyrim's enough to put it in Essential alone.
Yeah, all right. Next game.
Oh. Man.
Fallout debuted October 10th, 1997.
Five mainline titles developed by Interplay Entertainment,
Bethesda Game Studios and Obsidian Entertainment,
published by Interplan. Bethesda Softworks Platforms are

(01:10:00):
PC, PlayStation and Xbox. Count me out of this.
Never played. Never played.
I like the show. Never played.
Never played. I played Fallout 3 and I didn't
beat the game. I was the best one.
I really liked the way it started, the way the game starts

(01:10:21):
off, like in the intro, and everything was very, very dope.
It was very immersive and I liked the combat in the game.
But I, I was playing another game at the time and I just
remember putting it down and then I forgot about it.
And when the show came out, I remember I was like, oh shit,
that's right. Yeah, I played.
I have to go back to this game, so it's on my backlog.

(01:10:42):
So unfortunately I didn't, I didn't get a full playthrough.
But from what I did play, and I only played about, I want to say
like maybe like 3 hours, 3 or 4 hours of it.
I enjoyed it a lot. I enjoyed it a lot.
But I did get stuck 'cause I didsomething stupid and and I was
like in a mall or something likethat and I I died in the mall.

(01:11:02):
So when I respawned, I came up in the same spot.
So I kept dying in the same free, no backup.
Yeah, there was no backup. I yeah, I did it the wrong way,
but yeah. But from what I played, I really
like the immersion. The immersion of the game.
Like you feel like you're in theworld and all the crazy
characters are pretty funny. They're pretty good.
I heard three and three in New Vegas were top of the line like

(01:11:25):
best in class. I heard 4 was great to a certain
extent. And obviously one in two occurs,
right? We're not talking about those,
but I've never ever played a Fallout, not even started the
game. I even I got I think I have New
Vegas and four. You don't have 3 at all.
No, it was like $2.00 for the other one.
So I bought them and then it waslike $10 and I was like, not

(01:11:48):
yet. I'm not gonna play.
I'm gonna wait till it drops like $2.00.
But unfortunately I don't have time to play them.
But the show is the show is dopeand the season 2 is coming.

Who has a vote? I'm not voting.
I'm leave it to. Chat, I mean, I I haven't played
enough to give a a vote. I can't vote, all right?
I see. Wouldn't even count, Paul C and
Barcode said Essential. Whoa.
So did. So did.
They already said essential also.
OK, that's that's a lot, man. So I mean it has to.

(01:12:32):
Go wow. Yeah, it's not surprising.
I know where it goes. I mean, I from what I played,
it's it was great. Yeah, I had a good time.
So I. Can't they get high praise?
OK, All right. So it's going an essential man.
Yeah. I can't put it there, but I know
it goes there. Yeah, yeah.
That's. What it is, damn, I can't put it
there either, but. I like the Fall Out Boys as a
band but I never played the series.
What's the next time? What's the?

(01:12:53):
Next game. What's the next franchise take a
piss because of that? That's such a bad joke.
It was forced and it was. It kind of sucked the energy
out. Terrible.
How does he suck the energy out the room?
He's not even in the. Room, I know that's the power
that takes a lot, man. Turbo power.
We don't have enough sound effects to help us out.

(01:13:15):
So what's? The exactly mute him exactly.
I know right? Thank you Word.
We need a mute button for a turbo at all.
Time What's the next game? I'm I'm intrigued by the Fallout
series now I I. You ain't playing one Fallout
GameStop it you are not playing shit.
But it's essential, so I feel like I should.
Have Paul C said, Al, can you start muting Turbo?

(01:13:37):
I can't. I can't.
Yo, that's two votes of the chance to start muting turbo.
I love it. It's a little hard to to mute
him, but yeah. What's What's the next
franchise? I want to wait for sticks to get
back, so fox sticks. He'll be fine.
Wow. Well.
He probably didn't play the. Season What's the best game in
the Fallout series? For those who think it's
essential, what's what's the best?

(01:13:58):
It's a good question. Essential game in the series.
Good question yo Cafe. Don't encourage him, man.
What are you doing? Maybe, maybe Fallout 4.
I'm I'm gonna assume you're. Gonna have to put cafe in.
Timeout. Yeah, yeah.
Put cafe in timeout. Put cafe in timeout.
Cafe has a good fox has a good freaking sense of humor, man.
Now he has a autocorrect. Autocorrect.
He has a questionable sense. There's something going on over

(01:14:19):
there, Something's going on withhis keyboard.
Yeah, so I broke his keyboard. All right, next game, this game.
All right, next game is. Far Cry debuted March 23rd,
2004. Six main line titles developed

(01:14:40):
by Crytek, Ubisoft Montreal 2 through 6 and other Ubisoft
studios published by Ubisoft, available on PlayStation, Xbox,
PC and Stadia. Oh yeah, ho of the gamer.
We're going to put him in time out also.
Oh man. Never play.
Bad jokes go in essential no they.
Oh man. They go in trash, they go in

(01:15:04):
trash. Turbo and all of his followers
go right. We had Turbo's like icon to
trash, yes. No, that's great.
Put his face. Put his face in trash.
I'll put it in the toilet. Put it in the toilet.
Yes. I've never played.
This series steal my material. That's the thing where material.
There's no material turbo answerthis question.

(01:15:24):
Have you played any game in the front in the Far Cry series?
Franchise. No, it's Nope.
All right, so I'm muting you now.
So you. Have.
So you have no say. You have no say.
Damn. That's foul.
Oh, so you should be silent, man.
Far Cry's another first person game, so you know what I'm going
to say. You love it?

(01:15:45):
Never. Never touched any of them,
although I did want to play. What was the dragon spin off?
I don't see it on there, but it's.
Blood Dragon. Blood Dragon was awful.
I did want to play that because it looks silly.
I'll say this, out of this whole, out of the Far Cry
franchise, I've only played two games.
OK? Blood Dragon is one of them.

(01:16:07):
Nice. And then the second one was Far
Cry 2. Two.
Yes, that's a. Lot I played just the I just
played like the first like half hour of the of Part 3 and then I
stopped never I don't even know why why I stopped because it was
a really good intro like the wayit started.
It was like. I've seen a lot of the game,
I've seen a lot of people play it online, streaming, I've seen

(01:16:28):
endings. I've seen like things you could
do in it. What I like about the game never
played like in in most action games, you, you, you know, you
shoot somebody or whatever and then when they when they're on
the ground, you could take theirweapon and use their weapon,
right? You could take their gun or
whatever. But what was dope about it was
that they had their your gun hadstats.

(01:16:48):
So if somebody, if you didn't take care of your gun, it would
just like misfire, or if you like, you try to use it and if
you didn't take care of it, it would just, like, mess up like a
real gun. Yeah.
So it's very immersive and realistic in that way.
And I kind of liked it because it was, you know, it kept you on
your toes. Like you always have to like
make sure that your weapon was. It was like the first jungle

(01:17:11):
based game, right? Like I thought crisis I was.
Going to say Crisis was, but yeah, Far Cry was.
I don't know if it was the same engine or anything, but.
It's about the same time. 2/2 was the first game I started
with and yeah, I got hooked on that.
Man, that was that was a fun fun, fun.
I know they put movie stars in as the villains.
One of the first titles, actually.
Yeah. Mix Hollywood with it.

(01:17:32):
Yeah, they went all too far as of Yeah, Yeah.
But from what I saw, it's prettygood, so I wouldn't mind.
I kind of know where it goes, but I'm not going to vote on it
because I didn't play any of these games.
Paul C said next to your list. Instead of trash tier, just put
Turbo's face at the tier. I'm about that.
I like that, I think. That's a good idea.
That's a great idea. I think I had one more zinger

(01:17:54):
planned before the end of the pocket.
Just no, no, no zinger. Zinger goes in the drive.
Zinger also all. Right.
What's the vote? What's the vote?
Who's playing? Never played.
Never. Played never.
Played never. Played Far Cry.
I'm going to say great, OK, whatis what's the chat say?
I saw a couple of I saw a bunch of opinions, actually.
Said no law, no lower than greatpalsy.
Said I'm. Going to say great how?

(01:18:16):
Great, it looks like. I'm going to give it a great
with the. Chat.
Wow, I kind of missed I saw a couple of people vote on the
entire series. This is great series honestly.
345 and bloody carry for sure. Not surprising.
It looks like everyone's kind oftilting towards great.
Not surprising. OK, we like it.
It's a very popular series. Yeah.

(01:18:38):
What I saw it looks crazy. You can shoot chickens.
Yeah, that's why I would play it.
That's. Why it's great.
You could. You could shoot chickens.
Let's go. That's why so that's.
Essential What the fuck? You could sit at a table for 1/2
hour and get an ending. It's pretty good.
Pretty. Good, it's a table for 1/2 hour
and getting. Anything.
Yeah, right at the beginning, hesaid just wait for me.
If you wait for him, you get an ending.
Really. Yes.
Fuck. Right at the beginning of the
game. All right, so let's go.

(01:18:59):
Let's put in the great. It's going on great, Far Cry a
lot of people. Saying great, great.
Going on the great. Dude, Cafe 5 No Turbo's not
charging up any joke. Like a charge.
No. Charging up a toilet turd.
Dude I think that's the first time I've seen kami ami highs
that were written down. You never.
You never saw it written. No, I'm not a dragon.

(01:19:19):
You never seen it written down before?
Huh, I've seen it written. I'll read Dragon Ball all right.
Next game we got y'all. Ghost Recon debuted November
13th, 2001. 10 plus main line games developed by Red Wow God.
Damn it kept. Turn what the?

(01:19:40):
Come on man. Dude, I'm sorry.
Dude this is literally like you got to stop.
Developed by Red Storm Entertainment, Ubisoft Paris,
Ubisoft Milan and published by Ubisoft.
Available on PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Stadia.
I never played it. I never played.

(01:20:01):
I never played. I forgot which one of this
series. I know one of them.
I don't know if all of them are,but there was one in particular
I saw it was third person. I like the future one.
And there was one in particular that was like 4 players online
Co-op. The last one.
It looked fucking dope and I waslike, and I was watching this
channel strategically do their mission and I said why aren't we

(01:20:22):
playing this? I think it's the last one that
came out. It's been out for like 10 years.
Yeah, it's been Yeah for a hot minute.
It looked so dope. Is this why we're not playing
it? Because Turbo would go rogue and
ruin the whole. Mission that is, that's actually
very every time. Turbo is always going rogue.
You don't want him in your army,man.
He doesn't want to. He doesn't want to follow
orders. He just like, fuck it man.
Yeah, there was one for 360 I wanted to play that was in the

(01:20:42):
future with. Somebody, I think there was a 1.
You know what? I don't remember.
I remember playing one on the PSP.
Jeez. And I don't, I remember, I don't
remember what I don't. I don't even remember.
I remember playing it, but I don't remember.
I think they're doing a new one back in first person for some
reason. Oh come on.
Really. Yeah, I think I heard like

(01:21:03):
recently, they're going to make this.
Look stoked though. Which one is?
This Is that's. Good.
Wildlands. Ghost Recon Wildlands.
Listen, I never played. I played them at some point, but
I can't play it enough to say I'm voting for it.
Yeah, I can't. I just watch videos and it looks
fucking dope. I can't vote on.
I have nothing. Never played, Never played.
Yeah. Tom Clancy, man, I never was a

(01:21:23):
big fan of all the Tom Clancy games, but what we saw was like
in their stride when they were doing Tom Clancy games.
Not search. Said Essential.
Essential. Essential, I think, hope, the
gamer said. Essential.
Wow. Beardy never played Hope, said
Central. Also.
Oh wow, that means that we need to play this.
It looks fucking great. We need to play this.
From what I saw I was like that looks fun.

(01:21:45):
We need to be on the same page. Paul, you know how hard it is.
Paul said easy, great for me. Wow.
Made or essential huh? So he got well not Sir, is
definitely saying essential. How many essentials do we have?
I saw it too. I saw it too.
No, not Sir. Twice he.
Says the gamer said. Too.
Yeah, not Sir, Cove said. Essential, I think, Paul C said.

(01:22:06):
Great. So what's this going in?
Essential, I think. It's essential.
I think it's essential at the moment.
Essential look great y'all. We got to let the let the the.
Turbo, where'd you go, man? 10 more seconds.
Your camera's off. We could hear you though.
Yeah. We don't need to see you.
We only. We all need to.

(01:22:27):
We all need to see you. Bitches need to see.
Damn bro. Wow.
Hold on a second. No, no, no.
Stay there. You're good.
You're good. Did you did you sign off or
something out of the call? I didn't sign off.
Nothing. You must have gotten kicked out
because that, that's why it was like how to select your.
I think it was the bad. I think it was the bad joke.
Yeah. Oh shit, you got to chill with
the jokes man. They just cut them off like I.

(01:22:49):
Did oh you're back? You're back.
No I had him he was on. But I guess it usually happens
when your camera glitches or gets disconnected or something.
All. Right, so couldn't it?
What happened? They can't hear turbo.
They can't hear you right now. What the hell?
Because we can hear him. They can't hear me.
Damn it. Let's see, I definitely don't
have it on. Music, You know Turbo's drunk
hitting the. Wrong button.

(01:23:09):
You can hear it now that we. Can.
Oh no. No, he can hear it.
We can hear you. We can hear you now, OK?
We can hear you, dumbass. So calling the chat this is
getting essential I guess. Yeah, Essential, Essential it is
Wow. And we have to put that one game
on the channel, man. I mean, all these games in
Essential have to get played. Everything.
It's on game pass. I think it's on game pass though
and. I think of the if you buy the

(01:23:30):
game, it's like quite cheap. It's like 20 bucks or less.
Quite cheap. That's who you saw.
You know me, I definitely buy. Price 7 bucks PC cross pack I
don't know. All right, so we got quite a few
games, man. Leading the pack is essential.
They say there is a delay they can hear on wow turboside or
outside, not sure. Yeah, who's who's getting
delayed? Let us know in the chat, we'll

(01:23:51):
get. Down.
I think it's just purities connection.
Yeah, it might be. It might be.
Turbo's bad jokes, all right. Oh God.
Next game is. Next game is.
Grand Theft Auto debuted November 28th.

(01:24:13):
Jesus Christ. I'm sorry.
Oh my. God, Grand Theft Auto shut the
shut. Up.
Just shut the fuck up. Shut the.
Fuck. All right, you get.
You're muting you, dude. That's it.
I muted him. Grand Theft Auto debut November

(01:24:36):
28th, 1997. Seven main line titles developed
by DMA Design for one and two Rockstar N ever since published
by Rockstar. Games available on PlayStation,
Xbox, PC and mobile. Jesus, thank you.
All right. Now I can unmute this guy.
Holy shit, man. Dude, come on, man.

(01:24:56):
But to talk, you got to work with us here.
They spark emotion. They all all these, all these
titles. Keep it inside.
Keep. It in foremost.
Is there anyone who's not putting this in essential?
Just come on, son. Come on man.
It's grab them. It's grab them.
They're good to me, they're good.
The game's the. I would.
I'm not putting him in the essential, to be honest.

(01:25:18):
Really. Yeah, OK.
I'm not putting him in essential.
That would be 1. Just for me personally.
I'm open world game. Yeah, no, I'm not.
For me personally, I'm not. I'm not putting in essential.
Just just be. I'm just based off my
experience, no one else's. What?
Yeah, no, yeah, no one else's. I played three.
I played four. Loved 4, I played five, had my

(01:25:40):
issues with five, but I did likefive overall.
And that's that's my experience with the with the series.
But if anyone, I mean, does it belong in essential?
Probably, yeah, I'll probably say it belongs there.
But my personal experience, theywere they were awesome games,
but like they were just all right. 3/3 in particular was

(01:26:02):
fun, but it didn't. There wasn't anything in that
game. Hush, I didn't know it was your
turn. Sorry, I was supposed to be
muted. No, you're not supposed to be
muted. You're supposed to just let me
talk. I muted myself.
Sorry. Go ahead.
Go. Oh my God, you've fallen apart
over there. Stop drinking.
Three, there was nothing. Three, I just spent the entire

(01:26:24):
time chasing, you know, having the cops chase me, right?
I had no desire to do anything else in the game but have the
cops chase me. Four, I completed the entire
thing. I thought as a complete game,
that was fucking awesome. I really loved four.
Had a nice narrative. The shooting mechanics were way
better. I like the main character like
Nico. Great time.

(01:26:44):
I could even say part 4 was essential for me because I
thought that was great. Five, there was just so much
shit and a lot of people think of, you know, when you have that
much shit, it's the perfect game.
But me, I thought it was just sodistracting from a lot of
different stuff. Like I I thought the characters
were intriguing, but sometimes there was like fluff in the game
where you have me doing a stupidjob where I'm picking up these

(01:27:05):
tankers that are taking up 15 to20 minutes and I'm like, all
right, I'm taken out of what's going on in the game.
I don't even know what I'm supposed to be fucking doing.
And plus, I'm not even doing thejob correctly.
You. Really don't like.
That so I was like, to me it's it's just, it just slowed shit
down. So I was like, overall the game
was awesome. I thought 5 was an awesome game,

(01:27:28):
but I could think of so many other open world games that I
would play in a second over anything.
I give it a great. I give the Grand Theft Auto
Series A great in terms of what they do for open world.
I know it sets the president foreverything but me personally, I
will play Batman in a second over any Grand Theft Auto game

(01:27:51):
in a second but it but no, no, it's great.
It's great. I will not know.
Good's foul, Good's foul. Great.
It's a great series. It's a great series.
That's all for. Me.
This is the epitome of open world.
You could do anything. It killed Crazy Taxi for me
because it's in the game already.
Killed Crazy Taxi. Yeah, it definitely did.

(01:28:13):
There's so many things in the game that you can play it your
own way. Like that's open world, Like
there's no, like you said, playing against the cops.
That's a whole game if you. Want.
Yeah, that's the if you just do that, it's if you want it to.
Be the game that could be the game it.
Can it can yeah, you. Don't even have to play the
missions and it's still the one of the funnest games that ever
have been made. Absolutely.
I played 123 Ice San Andreas and.

(01:28:37):
It's I wanted to play the bike 1though I heard that one was
pretty good. No, the bike.
The bike one of the the. Motorcycle gang.
The Four. Oh, the loss in the dam.
Yeah, I heard that was pretty awesome.
Yeah, that from part 4 I played all all to DLC.
Those are great. You know what's funny though?
Besides one and two, obviously 4was my least favorite.
Really. I love.

(01:28:58):
Yeah, that's my that was actually.
And no one here messed with one and two, right?
Because now I played one, I played one and.
Two, I played one, but I never finished it.
But I played one you. Know what's funny about two?
The soundtrack. Dude, the soundtrack is
hilarious. Ever 2.
It's all jokes. Never played 2 jokes.
That was the first one that had joke songs.
Oh. So that was the first one that
did the parody songs of everything.
I mean maybe a part one too, butPart 2 had like the funny ass

(01:29:18):
songs in it. But obviously radio stations
music crazy. It's it's.
Yeah, those are always great. It's funny.
And part three, I did not know that those songs were from
Scarface. I did not know until I saw
Scarface way later. I didn't say I I saw scarf.
I should have watched it more tobe honest because I can't
reference. That soundtrack isn't 3 like
that, They just stole it completely.

(01:29:39):
Yeah, I don't know what they putin when Star when Scarface came
out of the game, but four I didn't like as much because the
car physics were off. They were off.
I didn't. That killed the game for me
because obviously you're in the car for a lot of the game on the
PC. They fixed those physics to be
more like the other games. That's why I bought it on the PC
because obviously the story is cool, but I didn't like the it's

(01:30:02):
we have to protect somebody and bring them because they always
jump in. The way I think that mission
sucks in every game. I hate escort missions.
When you have to protect somebody, escort missions are
the worst. They are the worst.
They are the game. It's like.
That game for me, I was like, man.
Just tedious man. And.
Keep jumping in the way. Yeah.
So I'm not saying it's a bad game.
That's still listen overall, like I said, as a as a

(01:30:23):
franchise, open world in this game is essential for me, OK,
because that's that's like the open world game.
Question though real quick, justfor you personally, do you think
1 and 2 are essential? At the time.
No, I mean like, do you think that like now I'm just asking
that? No, not now, No, no, those
games. Are not.

(01:30:43):
Do you think 4 is essential? Yes, besides the car, the games.
But you didn't like you didn't like 4.
I said a car. He said that was.
His he didn't like the driving in four yeah, but he he liked
everything else was good he saidOK, he said the driving was
fixed and it's. The dating and all that stuff,
Yeah, OK. Like and the eating in San
Andreas, like, you get that. So it's like a, it's really like

(01:31:03):
a nitpick basically just the driving that's.
Why? I didn't like 4 as much as the
rest, right? That's saying it's a bad game.
The stuff in the game that's great, right?
You can go bowling. And nobody wanted to do that.
It's a lot of shit you could do.I bought it was 5 but yes,
essential for you, essential forme.
Essential for me. Sticks nailed it.

(01:31:24):
It's is the epitome of an open world experience.
You can do everything and anything can go to the strip
club. You can spend the entire game in
the strip club. Dude, I robbed the bank and I
went to a top of a mountain and that coyote bit me in the ass
and killed me. Yep, after I robbed the bank in
super slow motion I fell down the mouth.
Dude, the game is. That's a lot.
Yeah, Beardy's funny, he said. A game about driving.

(01:31:46):
I didn't like the driving. It's essential.
OK. And you know what?
The funny thing about that? I didn't even read.
I heard it. I heard you say it.
Yeah, I heard in your. I heard your voice.
I heard in your voice while I read that.
Because I know how he said that too.
That's how much I know. Mirror.
It's a game about heist and crime all right now about

(01:32:06):
driving. Yeah, it's essential for sure.
All right, two essentials are great.
I'm also going to give it a central again, we again, we're
judging this by as a franchise as a whole.
Franchise. Franchise as a Whole 1.
Game can't tear down. Exactly, even though I love, I
love 4A ton, I love 5A ton 3. Great, great.

(01:32:31):
Got me into the whole open world. 3 was such a revelation.
Yeah. And that came out.
It was. Insane everybody like non games
from. Two to three, dude.
That was the first actually. Fun fact, my older brother
stopped playing video games after the Sega Genesis because
it was too many buttons. And yeah, I know it's a stupid
reason, but. As did.

(01:32:51):
Many, yeah, but I remember playing Grand Theft Auto 3.
Yeah, playing Grand Theft Auto 3and my brother walking in and he
was interested in playing the game of course, and it got him
to actually play. Then he do whatever he want.
He played for like 5 minutes though because it's too many
buttons on the control, but he it got him interested because he
was like oh what is this? What are you doing?

(01:33:11):
Dude, I heard people play this game and follow the rules, like
stop and repay the law. Yeah, do everything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You look.
Online. Yes, there's cops.
Yes, like you. Could play it your own way.
Yes, I mean, I, I mean what I dois I always right before I'm
about to stop playing the game, like if I have to do something
ramping, I save and then I go take all my weapons and
everything and I just go on a rooftop and start shooting

(01:33:33):
everybody. Yo, it's fun man.
You could play 30 hours of that.Yeah, yeah, You don't have to do
any missions or anything. You just do that and it's fun as
shit. Running away from cops.
Fun as hell. Yeah.
So yeah, you hit, you hit it on the head, man.
Essential Essential turbo. Let's see, I played a lot of
Grand Theft Oil 3, and then I stopped somewhere around this

(01:33:55):
mission where you had to throw like grenades at a truck or
something, and I just never finished it.
I played a couple of hours of Vice City.
I liked. My favorite one is 4.
I played a lot of four, but I didn't beat 4.
And it's just, yeah, I just, thegames, they never drove me to
finish them, you know? No, you got ADD with the cops.

(01:34:16):
Yeah, focus on the missions. It's crazy.
He's got ADD with the cops man anytime I see you playing.
Three, I like the shotgun you get when you climb into the the
cop car. That was always fun.
And I yeah, I messed around withthe cops a lot and it was a lot
of fun. But as a series, I understand
why people love it when they clicked with.
They say it's essential. It's never clicked with me.
So I'm gonna give it. I'm gonna give it a good.

(01:34:38):
Good, you dropped a. Good.
It's just like, and you know what comes out?
I'm not excited. I don't go.
It doesn't drive me. I don't own the games, you know.
You know, all right, so this is one of the few times that I will
piggyback off of what Turbo justI will.
I will not even condemn him for that for that, because you're
not gonna down from great. No, no, no, no, I'm still going

(01:35:01):
with great. I'm still going great.
But but the fact that he said good, I'm not gonna I'm not
gonna speak that because when it's 6, I don't really care
about 6. I don't, I don't own a Grand
Theft and I don't want to buy a Grand Theft that that's just for
because it does. It's just a game that does you
could do whatever you want and that is and that is the and that
is the epitome of what open world is.
So when someone says essential, I'm not going to argue that.

(01:35:23):
Why would I argue that? It's just a personal preference
that to me, it's just too much distracting shit.
I never finish. I never finish it.
That's why that's why that's why4 is my favorite because it's
more direct. It's a direct game and the the
the shooting mechanics are awesome, but it's so much get to
do that. I'm like, it's like, it's so
much stuff to do that. I'm like I there's nothing that

(01:35:45):
makes me be like, I need to Grand Theft.
Well, I've never seen, you know,play this game in my life.
I have, and all he did was run from the cops every single time.
So much to not to, not one mission.
It's just so much stuff that it's like, all right, I don't
care to do all of that. I don't need to do all that to
enjoy the game. Like like I have like I have

(01:36:06):
Batman, right? I know what the fuck I'm doing.
I have a whole open world. But I'm Batman and I enjoy this
thoroughly. But who am I and who am I in
part 5? Some balding dude who has
issues, some other guy who is rich that has family issues, and
I have this other guy who's trying to be a hit man that is
failing miserably. I don't care about either three

(01:36:26):
of these motherfuckers. So why am I going to care about
finishing their story? You know what I'm saying?
So it's like so, so that's the that's the thing with me
personally. I don't care about the
characters per SE in Grand Theft, so I don't need to own
those games. That's.
Fair. I think there's a different
connection if you had PlayStation when it came out.
Though no, because. You guys weren't PlayStation

(01:36:47):
guys. No, just I just don't care for
the game. How you guys think about it
though at the time when it firstpopped off?
Yeah, like if it came out on Saturn and it was on.
No, I'll tell you right now. No, because I just don't.
I played 345. I don't care on that level.
I'm a character driven person. As you see when I play RPGs, if

(01:37:08):
a character, if I don't like themain character who I'm going to
be, I'm not going to play it. And so it's that so.
It's what 3 essential, great and.
No, it's going in essential. I mean, it's and I will never
argue that, but for me personally, I'll go.
They're great games. They're great games.
There's nothing. There's nothing they do bad.
They don't do anything bad. No one's arguing.

(01:37:30):
Yeah, I'm just saying they don'tdo anything bad.
It's just they don't keep my attention.
That's. What I'm saying I respect.
And that's fine, except when I fucking go rogue and just start.
Killing. Everybody, well, a lot of people
put in codes to be the tank and just go crazy.
Yeah, that's fun. What?
Do you just get every gun in there?
That could be a whole world, that could be a whole game for
somebody that's fun. A lot of a lot of stress relief.
All right, so let's get this on.That's what I said you was going

(01:37:52):
on. Essentially, Yeah.
Don't you dare put that in frontof that man.
Hell yeah. I'm putting it in front of.
I will stab you in the throat. You got 3 essentials, Batman
didn't get them. I was about.
I just wanted to see you go squirm.
Listen, it's all in essential. It doesn't matter to.
Me. All right, what's?
Next Next game franchise. Horizon debuted February 28th,

(01:38:13):
2017. Two mainline games developed by
Gorilla Games published by Sony,available on PlayStation and PC.
Who's first? I'll go first.
Dinosaur robots bro. This game is amazing.
This game is fucking amazing. My man showed all of his teeth.

(01:38:36):
I love this game. I I love this franchise, the
story I love. I love the the the weapons and
how you can and how you can customize them.
This game is this franchise is dope.
It really is. It really is I.
Love the main character, no. The supporting characters are

(01:38:57):
cool too. Robot dinosaurs, guys.
I'm putting in the central. OK, OK.
All right, I can go next. You played one, not 2.
I played one. I did not play Lego.
No Lego. We don't count Lego Horizon
Adventures. We're not counting Lego World.

(01:39:17):
It's Co-op, man. It's Co-op.
Let me stop. It's not open world.
It's not open world. It's not a world.
Nope. Hell, come on man.
Lego Games. It's a Lego game, man.
It's. Like exactly Now listen, I only
played Part 1. I bought Part 2 with intentions
to play it. I know it's great.
I'm gonna leave it at great. I played two.
I could have a better, you know,better representation of it.
But as far as what I played fromPart 1, great game don't hold an

(01:39:40):
essential. But maybe others who played both
can tell me otherwise. But I go with great.
One more thing, I need to add Dino robots.
And. Again.
And, and you can use your staff to, to, to, to hack them and
they can be on your side. You can have a giant robot tiger

(01:40:01):
on your side. That's that's true this.
Is essential. You can hack, yeah.
It's a good gameplay loop. It is a great gameplay loop.
Yes, I'm going with great. Turbo you play these or no?
I have not played any of these. No, you should be ashamed of
yourself. I was not playing Wow.
That's. The only guy that's that's crazy
you have not played these games.That's pretty fucked up.
I have. Not played the Horizons yet.
It's got to be at gunpoint to play this game.
Yeah, seriously. It's because it's not.

(01:40:23):
But the Vertical Horizon was a good band all.
Right, we're putting you in you for a while.
OW have you played? Have you played?
I've only played the first game and if it was just that game
alone, 100% essential. Essential for you. 1000%
essential. It's the first game.
OK, I'm it's on my backlog. I'm I'm.

(01:40:43):
It's a beautiful. Game waiting to play the second
one 'cause I'm dying to play thesecond one.
I just got to find time where I have like, you know?
Hours. Yeah.
Yeah, it's it's. Yeah, it's, I got to dedicate
some time. I originally, I, I originally
had a A rating before everyone starts speaking, but then I
changed it. That's what you got.

(01:41:05):
So just the way the series has progressed from 1:00 to 2:00,
You play both. I play both.
Yeah. I played thoroughly through one
and two. And to see how 2 was an
evolution of 1 and how it, it wasn't just like just a fluff,
like, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 'cause the, the, the
Part 1, my issues with Part 1. And even though it was just the,

(01:41:27):
you know, the first entry to theseries, I thought that like some
of the characters, I don't really care.
I didn't care too much about thecharacters. 1-2 shot it through
a fucking roof, OK, They shot through a roof and I didn't and,
and Ayloy, I thought was very wooden in one and I they shot
her through the roof. So the enemies, I thought the
enemies were, were really incredible.
The pacing, the weapons, the battles 2 did I I will say to

(01:41:52):
the end of days 2 did a a sick job as a sequel.
Today I proved everything. Yeah, it like I like, if I was
just going off of 1, I would saygreat.
Two makes it essential, 2 makes it essential.
I have to say 2 makes it essential because I whenever I
beat a game and I love it and I want to go back into it, I'm

(01:42:13):
like, that's an essential game. Yeah, that's a giveaway.
I'm like, I I think I fucked up by not doing almost everything.
I wanted to do everything. That's how you know, and and,
and I had glitches in the fucking game.
I would jump off the fucking mountain and then the textures
would pop in. This is what the glitches and I
still feel this way. So I I think they got something

(01:42:34):
special with horizon as a new franchise, new character, new
world, like Chuck said, the fucking Dino robots and shit
like that. That's it's great when you see a
big massive beast of a enemy come at you.
Oh yeah, how do I take this shit?
There's multiple ways you could and the strategy that you think

(01:42:54):
of and the the weapons that you got, everyone's going to play
differently. So I think to me that that
screams out essential to me because just talking about it,
I'm like, yeah, that that that was fucking fun.
And there's things I left on thetable before I beat the game.
So wait a minute, You were, you were gonna, you said you'd
change your mind while I was. It was gonna be great.
Oh, wow. But then Chuck brought up some

(01:43:15):
points and I'm like, no man, 2 was, 2 was good.
He said Robo dinosaur. Yeah, yeah, No, 22 I, you know,
when you beat a game a long timeago and you like, you forget and
I'm like, Nah, man, that was a special game. 2 was really.
I mean, 1 was awesome, but two was special.
It's been one of the top things in my backlog and I really need

(01:43:35):
to get to it. And I need every everyone
remember how I fucking was bitching about Asheville chain?
Everyone needs to play play thisgame like 2 was so good man it.
Was good time into it though. That's no, it is.
You have to be immersed in just that, in that, nothing else.
Just that. And and trust me, you will be
rewarded. It's fucking incredible.
All right? Essential for me.
So we got 3 essentials, 1 great,terrible.

(01:43:58):
You can play it right. Terrible in play.
So. I haven't played these
unfortunately, I'm sorry. Another it's going Essential.
I support Essential. I support the fuck out of the
series. Yeah man, I love this series.
Yeah, my one Greg, was the characterization, but you said
they improved that on 2. Yeah, they were bland in Part 1.
I ain't got Front. They were kind of like 2.
I'm like, oh, even though the first game is the only one I
played, I love the way the story.

(01:44:19):
I just love this. I love the story and the way
they told it. Yep.
Especially the. I'm not gonna spoil anything,
but yeah. What about the VR 1 though?
You know you're not putting thatinto the.
That counts as nothing. Well, yeah.
Never play. We're gonna.
That goes to the never play. All right, so is that That was
open world. I.
Don't know the VR right the VR 1was.
Not I can see that being boring,man.

(01:44:40):
Open world, you're like. Nah, there's no there's no
linear world through VR. It'll be lost forever.
That's what I'm saying. What those freaking that sounds
boring lost you? Would I get lost in real life?
Man imagine that freaking VR be like what?
The hell. No, I love that series man.
And if they come out with thirds, I'm about it.
They come out 1000. Percent and it'll.
Get snubbed again in the game, Game of War, another Zelda, or a

(01:45:03):
God of War. Another Zelda.
Another. God of War.
Elder ring, Elder ring all the same year.
Next Elder Ring of Zelda has definitely come out.
Wind Horizon. Yeah, they're waiting.
They're waiting. When do they think they're going
to come out? OK, let's kill them.
They're going to stop releasing.Blame it though, they could
blame that. They don't care where they end
up. They're like, yo, we got to come
out when they do. And they release that shit in
like the early in the year. So I remember it was like around
February. Fuck up every time dude it.

(01:45:24):
Comes out like November. They get snubbed on everything,
but I support them. They're fucking awesome.
Yeah, those games are amazing. All right, essential horizon
goes in the central. No Lego don't count.
I would play it though that's. Why it goes down the grade?
Stop it, stop it. Games we got left. 15 shit, we
got to make them quick speed run, speed run through this

(01:45:47):
shit. What happened that we haven't
played with? So here we go y'all, next game.
Infamous debuted May 26th, 2009.Three mainline games developed
by Sucker Punch Productions, published by Sony, available on
PlayStation, PS3 and PS4. Did I play this?
I never played it. I played second son.
I played the second son also andlast light DLC first light first

(01:46:09):
light. Did I?
Did I play the first one? I don't think so, no.
No. As for PS2.
No, All right, put me down. It's never played.
Yeah, I'm putting this in. So all right, Second son only
played it got a little repetitive.
A lot repetitive, actually. Game was cool.
I'm leaving it in the good. I think good is where it

(01:46:31):
belongs, because it did get repetitive and the powers
weren't the greatest. Some of them were cool though.
First light I'll say because I was as a standalone title that
was like. AI played the spin off a little
bit I didn't get. Through it, I thoroughly enjoyed
the spin like that was really, really good.
The powers are different. 100% in second son almost got 100% if
not really very close, yes. I didn't.

(01:46:53):
I didn't get 100% on the 2nd. Son, but Side Story thing like
you could be good or bad. I think you could do that.
All of them. But I I like the character in
Second Son and I really like thecharacter in First Light.
It was really good. Chad has a lot to say about this
one. But I never played infamous one
and two, never got, never got, yeah, never got around to

(01:47:14):
playing those. So yeah.
Probably would have been one of the greatest ones on the system
if I did play it. But you know, obviously I've
heard about it, I've watched it.But yeah, I didn't play those.
Off of just those two games, I would say, you know what, they
were good. It was good.
You going good? I'm going to go Good, yeah.
OK, yeah, I went good too because.

(01:47:35):
Even even watching gameplay footage here, I'm like.
Terrible. You didn't play right.
I haven't played these. Unfortunately I haven't played.
A lot of the Chad is saying that's crazy.
What's up? Chad is saying essential.
Really. Barco Teacup says it was great.
Somebody I love says something. Let me see who else makes.

(01:47:57):
I feel like this was like a forgotten franchise though,
because you have. I mean, other things have taken
it over, so nobody wants to really see them go back to them
unless you were really a fan of this character.
It is infamous. Mass says Mass says essential.
Kevin Fox says he wants a continuation of series.
OK. Hope says St. went black twice

(01:48:17):
for him. Wow.
Hopefully it's back, yeah. But yeah, it's back.
So you got great, you got good two goods, you got an essential
and never played. You know what I'm going to
change My, my, I'm going to change it.
Put in Great. Yeah, I'm going to change it to
grey because I really enjoyed. First Light was really good,

(01:48:39):
man. It was a good continuation of
the of Second Sun. I think it was a great superhero
game, but it's been evolved on, like a lot.
Yeah, but as a franchise for what it is, like it.
Did things. Yeah, it did.
Things it would be cool if they came out with another one, and
if they did, I'd be I'd be I'd be excited for it.
I see a lot of great. In the now it's going in great,

(01:48:59):
OK. Let's throw it in.
Great. Throwing it in, great y'all.
So it's definitely going in great as a whole.
Infamous. Going in the grid.
I didn't experience the whole franchise though as far as.
That same same great only playedtwo games out of the French out
of the whole thing, so. People like cold.
What do we got? All right.
Next 2014 was the last release. Jeez.

(01:49:19):
Wow, that was yeah. That was around 11 years ago.
PS4 like early early PS4. Time goes too fast.
Wow. Too fast.
Wow, wow. All right, next game.
Just Cause debuted November 22nd, 2006.
Four main line titles developed by Avalanche Studios, published
by Edos and Square Enix. Idos.

(01:49:42):
Idos available on PlayStation, Xbox and PC.
Hollow. It's a terrible cover.
That's the first one. That's the first one.
It almost made me. It almost made me feel like I
never played this series. That's the first game.
Dude, no one played the first. Game.
I never played the first game. Yeah, doesn't count.
I can go quick. Yeah.

(01:50:03):
DB Hathaway. I'm saying essential because it
is nonsensical fun, and I've seen a lot of it.
I played some of two, maybe not much of three.
I saw you play through all of them, and it is nonsense.
And the comrades, comrades, it'sterrible.
Instead of comrades, she goes comrades, Yeah.

(01:50:24):
What? It's a terrible way to
pronounce. It bad at bad accent.
Wow. Oh, it's the accent.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what you're saying.
Gum raids. Right.
Wow. The random, just the randomness
of that, he said. Gum raids.
I leave that question right there.

(01:50:46):
Gum raids. Gum raids.
Yes. Yes the game is nonsense, but
it's hysterical fun. And jetpack and the freaking
parachute. Best things in a game essential.
It's just fun. It's one of the best, most fun
open world games I've ever seen.I wish I played.
This is like one of those games.It's like I just never played
it. Yeah, never got.
No, no reason for not playing it.

(01:51:07):
It's just fun. It's never got to run a play in
it. That's I know.
They're good though. That's that is the best story,
It's the best voice acting. It's not meant for that.
Saying it's the best anything but it's the best explosions
that is the most fun. The best explosions with the
comrade. That that word the.
Word. They definitely knew that they

(01:51:27):
you know what they had let me tell you something about Part 2.
Part 2 might be one of the best games I've ever played really
just two. It's just really because I was
able to add soundtracks to this game, so I would add in so many
playlist for Part 2. It was it was an experience and
I have. In Part 2, could you put a can

(01:51:49):
you put things on the zip line to shoot?
Like can you put things on and shoot it away?
What was that 3? It might have been three because
The thing is, I, I mashed them up, right?
So like, it's been so long that I mashed.
Them up. I don't know much about four.
Three, unfortunately, yeah, you could tether so many things
together, like. Shoot them to a missile.
This is things like a car on a missile.
You shoot it. That's crazy.

(01:52:09):
That's fine. There's a cow on it.
I don't know what anybody, if anyone else played this, played
this series. I played 2-3 and what they did
4, right? They did four.
Yeah, I did 4 also, which was a little yeah, 4 had some things,
4 had some things. But I was disappointed with the
completely disappointed with theend of it because they I there

(01:52:29):
was they were working up to something and I'm like, I want
to do that. And they didn't allow me to do
it. And I was very.
Upset it was a movie they. Did yeah, it was bullshit and
I'm like you, they fucked it up for me.
This series is is extremely fun.So fun.
It's almost too. Fun.
Yeah, that should do too much. It's almost too fun 'cause the,

(01:52:50):
the parachute, the gliding, the tethers, the, the grappling
hooks, the, the, the, the, the weapons, the explosions, the
things that you could blow up, It's, it's out of control.
It's really out of control. I've had too much fun with this
game. Too much.
I don't. It's on.

(01:53:10):
It's in between two tiers for mebecause I'm when I say 4 was a
let down, it was a let down. Compared to 2 and 3.
Yeah, yeah, the the end to me was let down, It really was.
And I was the wind was taken outof my sails like to the point of
where like I don't know if I should get excited if they
announce a new one, but with the.
Stuff they do in this. You think it was a budget title
because it looks. It's just so silly.

(01:53:30):
It, it's, it's, I mean story. I don't care about the story.
I can't even tell you what it is.
I don't play this for the story.I do not care.
It is complete chaos. It's fun to watch.
Though it's one of the funnest games I've ever played, which is
why I'm having a tough time giving this a rating because
it's like, no dude, if you thinkthat's what it's just too much.

(01:53:54):
Not like the way they jump, justfly up.
Complete nonsense. Attach Attach that guy onto
something that flies away and building.
And blows up. All right, I'm going to give it
fuck. I'm gonna give it a great.
I'm gonna give it a great. I'm.
I'm almost. I swear if they gave me what I
wanted in four I would have easily said it.

(01:54:16):
As an open world game, yeah. So wait, So what?
What? What's stopping it from getting
essential? I can't reveal the ending of
four. Oh, OK.
But the way it fizzled for me because they built up to
something and I wanted somethingto happen.
And I was fantasizing about something and then it went into
a fucking cinema. And I said, Oh no, damn, really?

(01:54:38):
No. Did I know the down overall It
it really? Dropped it for me.
I I was very upset. The ending was that but there,
but there was a. Lot of stuff you did in the.
Game. It's it's it's it hurts me so
much. And when I say it's teetering on
essential and great, it's legit,legit teetering on that.
And that was which game 4, So 4 had the the ending was the thing

(01:54:58):
that threw you all. It was the end sequence, like
what's going on the last mission, all that.
OK, so that's just one game. What about the other games?
Two and three are. 2 is obviously essential.
Way up. Two is obviously essential.
OK, three. Oh my God, I, I blurred the
lines. I blurred the lines.
You know, that's what I say. You have a it's hard to do, man.

(01:55:18):
So as a whole, you said great, right.
So if you if you take two 10's and put it with an 8, what do
you get? Well, if you can.
I get a nine. If you're counting one, which we
didn't really go. For I never played, no.
Which was nonsense 2. Two to me is essential.
Two and three is essential. Three's pretty much. 4 is great.
4 is like. Teeter around, great, almost
essential. Yeah, that's it's.

(01:55:39):
So, so, you know, we're gonna have to ask.
I don't know if Chad played it because you guys didn't play
this, right? Nope.
I didn't know. Turbo, you play this right.
Nope. Nope.
Essential an essential or great Chad you got to break into.
You got to break into. Paul C was asking if it was the
comrades. The comrades were essential.
I mean, that's just cause 5 comrades.

(01:56:02):
That's essential. Imagine that, Paul, you know,
you know, you know, you know, you know.
All right, all right, I'll make my decision.
I'll make my decision. And this is just something off
of Part 2 that you can do. And it was, it was like you get
like this little mini jet that you could just pop up and ride
the jet to wherever you want. And the fact that I was able to
play that with Long Way Down by Goo Goo Dolls, I'm raising that

(01:56:25):
to essentially. Surprise.
That's the blimp at the top too,right?
Like the rich people at the blimp?
They could. They could blow that up.
Might. Have been 3 that three this guy
just jumped off of this but jumped off this guy it.
Sounds like a great. No, The thing is there's so much
you can do on shit like like thefact that I I was just hating on
4, right? 4 has so much.

(01:56:46):
Crazy shit you can do. It's just the ending that it's
just, it just bothers me. But two and three are just so
incredible. So I'm throwing an essential.
I'm changing my mind. And fight alone, but alone.
It's one of the funnest series I've ever played, it's really.
Are they doing a 5 or no? They should, but I I don't think

(01:57:07):
it's happening. I don't think I think if if they
did a 5 they could. What if they like took all the
great stuff from like 2:00 and 3:00?
I don't think it made. Them and maybe 4, to be honest.
The new Spider man 2, they took that gliding mechanic from the
last Oh, it's the same. Yeah, the gliding.
Yeah, that wasn't in two and three.
They took that. The tether and then flying.

(01:57:28):
Yeah, they took that. So look at that, that that's
where they got. That kind of tore it down a
little for me though when they added that because I like the I
like the parachute, but when they added flying everywhere it
kind of changed the game give. You too much power.
Yeah, I give you. But I enjoyed it.
I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it.
All right, so I'm essential for you.
What is, what does the chat say?It's just too fun.
I don't know if the chat this. It's just too fun.

(01:57:50):
The series is too fun. And Paul say there's no Terry
Crews. I know it brings it down too
fun. The series is, too.
Fun just cause a crackdown. I was I was I was thinking of
that game. I was thinking of of just cause
the other day. I'm like, dude, watch.
Him, it's hilarious and you could just snap.
Remember, I wouldn't like Siphon.
Look at this. Shock the hell out of people.
Parachuting over a mountain? Dude, you could strap a rocket

(01:58:11):
to a corpse and just shoot it. Yeah, that's crazy.
Or someone who's living it. Like you could do nonsense.
That is crazy, man. Or or or or take a tether, put
it to the back of your car to someone who's shooting at you.
Just drag them. Yes, well, like this.
It's just nonsense. Or.
You can attach a car to a jet and fly that.
One, fly it into a tanker and blow it up like you can do

(01:58:33):
things that you can't even thinkof.
Yeah, No, you know, essential. I'm not even upset about that.
Essential, it's too much. It's too much chaos.
Highly recommended. Essential.
It is too much. Chaos.
It's one of the best. Throw it in there.
Yeah, throw it wherever. I mean, as long as it's just.
Like running from the cops and grant theft but that's but you
do more explosion. Yeah, that's yeah, yeah, yeah.

(01:58:53):
All right. Next game on the list is.
The Legend of Zelda debuted August 22nd, 1987.
Twenty plus mainline games they love by Nintendo.
Published by Nintendo, availableon Nintendo from the Nintendo
from the NES to the Switch. Holla, let's let Turbo go first.

(01:59:14):
Yeah, we got. It's on the game and watch also
before that before. The turbo, Go ahead.
Come on. Look at that smile on his face.
Yeah, man. Come on man OG action adventure.
Open world. It was open world before the
term open world even came out. Let me guess, You're gonna say
OK? You're gonna say it's OK.
There's only two open worlds. No, it's essential.

(01:59:35):
It's. Essential even when you have the
worst, even when you have the worst.
Legend of Zealous, my least favorite.
I'm not gonna necessarily say the worst, but even when you
have my least favorites, which is Wind Waker and Majora's Mask,
there's somebody's favorites. There are people who within the
Zelda fandom who sing the praises of Majora's Mask and
wouldn't Waker to this day, evenwhen Waker HD is held up, at

(01:59:56):
least with the way it looks, even though I fall asleep when I
play it. But the games I tried, I tried
to, I, I, I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it even with the
Wii U. It was perfectly suited for the
Wii U at the time too. And I just, I couldn't get
through the rest of the whole game.
But oh, the best games in the series though.
You know, you got tears the Kingthat you got Breath of the Wild,
you got Scott Woods Sword got Twilight Princess.

(02:00:18):
Of time a link to the past the bangers come on like when they
fire on all cylinders. They no the series freaking
quality man is always top tier. Essential has to go.
Essential. Alright.
Good or great, he said. Good or great?
What? Are you giving him was a whole
the whole franchise? Essential man Essential.

(02:00:42):
I'll, I'll, I'll go next. I mean, to be, I mean, if I
haven't mentioned it before, Zelda was what got me into video
games for, for Zelda. I haven't played all of them.
You know, I played 1-2 link to the past.
I played breath of the wild, didn't play like skyward sword
or tears of the Kingdom or any of that.
I'm very Moody when it comes to Zelda games.

(02:01:03):
But no, they're, they're the cream of the crop.
I mean, that's, that's I thoughtbreath of the wild was one of
the crazier game experiences I've had.
I thought that I was blown away by Breath of the Wild, but yeah,
I mean, those games are pretty, pretty awesome.
I can't really go, go, go too much further on it.
I'm going to put it in. Yeah, essential.

(02:01:25):
Paul C said I fall asleep when Iplay in quotes.
That's a positive review if I ever heard one.
Definitely essential in my turn.I fought serious Majora's Mask
and wouldn't like I fell asleep playing those games.
Listen, it's true. Zelda's never been my thing.
It's getting a good for me dog. He said it's getting a good for

(02:01:46):
me dog, I'm. Gonna leave it at that, I know.
Chad, he's never, he's never gotinto.
The internet's going to be bad. It's never been my thing.
I only played Zelda one and two at A at a.
How many games that they've released?
I like Zelda 2. I feel, I almost feel like I
don't deserve to to comment on this when I'm put it in the
trash. I'm kidding.

(02:02:07):
Even if I play, yeah, it counts.Even if you play one game all.
Right, so. Doesn't deserve to have an
opinion on. That yo-yo Turbo went to attack.
Turbo is attacking anybody else.If you play one game in the
franchise, it counts. I'll.
Put it. I'll leave it at good.
I'll leave it at good. Actually Zelda 3 is top 10 for

(02:02:28):
me. That's top essential for me.
That might that might be one of my favorite Zelda.
Games, but besides that as a franchise I can't get into
Zelda. Beauty said.
This is honestly insane. Yeah, not Sirk.
Never played a Zelda game. Yeah, I'm, yeah, I'm leaving it
a good. That's two goods.
Wow. Yo.

(02:02:49):
Way 2 goods and. Two, it's about to go up again.
2222 goods and two essentials. Yo, this is this is, this is I'm
not this is controversial. I am not a Zelda guy either.
I am not a Zelda guy either. But everything I've played of
the of the few Zelda games I've played, I can't give it

(02:03:10):
essential because I I did like the games.
I did like all the games. He already said, I'm out.
Don't invite me back. I'm not a Zelda guy, but I have
to say good. I have to say good.
Yo, Al just got to say good, said good.
That's. Three good teams going into

(02:03:32):
good. Zelda's going in good according
to cream. Wait, wait, wait.
As as a gamer, I think as a podcast we should be ashamed of
ourselves right now. How?
No, no, no, I'm just I'm just, I'm just going to say we should
be ashamed of ourselves for whatjust happened here.

(02:03:54):
We should no, we we should we should we should we should have
a right these people have. We should legit be ashamed 2.
Games. To call I can explain how if you
want to know how as level 857 the best video game podcast

(02:04:16):
online that is doing a tier liston open world games right.
We're putting Zelda one like like the GOAT, like the
originator and just good. That shit is fucked up and
something is wrong there. There is something wrong.

(02:04:37):
There's something wrong and absurd.
They played one game. Hold on.
Yeah, Beardy said. Beardy just said I'm screaming.
Hold on, there's something. Listen, listen.
There's personal opinions, but then there's some crazy shit
that's through the crack that isgot to crazy.
Got to do the math though, man. And I got A and I and I got a
challenge. Give me one second.

(02:04:58):
I got a challenge. The three others who said good
because this. Is great.
Give me one second. I, I I Chuck, give.
Me one second, Chuck. Because no, because this goes
back to the crackdown thing. As a a video game podcast that's
responsible and people trust us for our opinions.

(02:05:19):
I personally find Zelda to be good 'cause I only played the
first two, but it is and I'm changing my vote to essential.
Wait for public. Opinions.
No, no, no, no, no, no, not, noteven for public opinion, but.
I mean, that's what you're basically.
Doing stop talking. Let the let the man talk, Let
the man talk all. Right, so Zelda 20 plus games,

(02:05:44):
they got to be doing something right, right.
It has to be, I mean, 'cause I, I like I, I was never, I, I was
never a Nintendo dude, you know what I mean?
So that's why I never played allthe Zeldas.
But for it to go on for this long, to have this many games,
it's doing something right. It's, it's etched its way into

(02:06:08):
gaming history. So it has to be essential.
And and and to add to the chat. Bizarre said.
Unsubscribe, Mass produce said. Mass produce said Zelda is peak,
Beardy said. I'm screaming.
I'm vomiting as a responsibilityto video game lovers in the

(02:06:30):
world. And listen, I no, no, no, wait,
I didn't finish like I said withGrand Theft Auto, right?
I gave my opinion. It is not essential for me, but
it's essential in the tier list.And I knew everyone else was
going to vote essential. I but just for me personally,
I'm like, you know what I don't need?
I don't even need to own a Zeldagame.
I'll even say that I don't need to own 1.

(02:06:50):
I don't really purchase Zelda games, but I know with the
experience I had that is essential as far as open world.
But I'm not going to sit on thispodcast and claim this is the
best podcast online today and say it's good.
Yeah, no, I cannot. Because because here's the
thing, go back to the tier list real quick.
I can and I did. Wait, please Al, go back to the.

(02:07:12):
Tier logistics, you know, it's crazy.
Go back to the tier. List Al, can you go back to the
tier list for a second? Because if we say Zelda is just
good, that puts it one level above crackdown and I can't
allow. That actually you're that is.
I can't. Actually, that is fucking crazy.
That's it. Good point I.
Can't let that sit. Which is why the podcast is a
screeching halt right now. Because that isn't an injustice.
Can. You believe that he.

(02:07:33):
Put it in essential. He believes.
People in the chat. Though.
We'll just put it in great. Lift it to essential.
Can you believe Zelda got a good?
Like that is that's crazy. That's.
Crazy. Well Jay.
Jay should be exactly played like Zelda.
I only played three Zelda. $100 on Zelda JJ.

(02:07:54):
I played two, no. The amount of money you spend on
Zelda doesn't make make sure you're qualified to talk about.
Hey, guys, just so you know, just.
Thought maybe I have one plan. Just so you guys know, this is
our tier list. You got to take it with a grain
of salt, dude. We didn't like not one of us
have played every single Zelda title.
That's fair, but I think these but if you say there's a series,

(02:08:16):
but it's my all right, so there's a series that has 20
plus and you played two. And if you have someone who's
played twenty, I'm not gonna saythe series or you played only a
couple or you haven't beat the game.
I played all. There's kind of like, you know,
like like if I played. No, if you haven't played every
Zelda every made. Stop it.
You haven't played every Zelda every made.
Stop. It we have Lord Chababa.

(02:08:37):
You haven't played 20 plus Zelda.
You haven't played 20. You just got to Now let me talk.
I played all of. Them.
I played all of them and I bought a hell of a lot of them.
That doesn't mean anything and let me talk.
Doesn't mean anything. You spend money on whatever it.
Doesn't mean anything talk, justsaying.
I let him finish his. Point.
I let you talk. I bought them all, played them

(02:08:59):
all, regardless of what you think.
Even the fucking train tracks 1.I did not like any of them to
beat them. I didn't say I beat them all.
I said I played them all and didnot like them enough to beat
them. I beat Zelda three.
I beat the Boston in Zelda 1 and2, played through all of them
and stupid saves didn't. Say, but if we have not beaten

(02:09:20):
them, does that qualify you as? Talk about the game, what I did
about them. I know, but I'm saying does that
qualify you as an opinion if youhave not beat the games?
Dude, if I didn't like it enoughto beat it.
No, I'm saying if we haven't beaten.
The game series. If you haven't beaten.
The game series. If you haven't.
Beaten the games. I would talk over you.
If you haven't beaten the games.He's he's.
He is. He's giving his opinion based on

(02:09:41):
his experience with the games he's played and he played.
Most of them, and also that. According to.
That sorry to cut you off Turbo.I just want to say again, like I
said before, you have to take this list with a grain of salt
because look not every every franchise on these lists here,
every one of us haven't played every single title in the in the
franchise. Now we're just giving our

(02:10:01):
personal opinions, but The thingis we're collectively joining,
like doing an average of all of our opinions together.
For the gaming community itself,it's essential.
Yeah, I'm not going to dispute that shit.
But for me personally, I'm goingto say it's good.
Of the few games that I played in the franchise, I'm going to
say it's good. Quick, real quick.

(02:10:22):
I could even say it's great. I missed it, but go ahead.
Oh, I'm so sorry I missed you. Hold on.
Let me give me a second one, OK?But yeah, going back to that,
let me just finish. We have 13 games left, dude.
We have a lot of games that we run.
Zelda's very important. But yeah, I get it, I get it.
The. One thing, I'm not saying Zelda

(02:10:42):
isn't one of the top tier franchises in history.
To the chat, yeah I don't. I don't disregard it as being
one of the best titles ever madefor people who enjoy the Legend
of Zelda franchise. Watched the cartoon, played all
the games, did not care enough to beat any of the games besides
a few because I was disinterested in them as I

(02:11:05):
played along in them. Which means it's not a franchise
for me, which is why I give it agood from me.
But it's not like I don't recognize it as a great to
essential title and the categoryfrom which it stands.
That's all I'm saying. The chat must go well.
Wait, hold on. Dude.

(02:11:27):
I legitimately just put in an essential because I can't let it
stay one level above crackdown that's in.
That's insane. There's also great essentially.
Yeah, there's also great choke. Changed it to Essential, Turbo
said Essential. So we got, I said.
Essential. I changed mine to great so so it
goes into essentials. So I got bullied into
essentials. I didn't get bullied into
essential but. No, Jed.
Bullied him into. Essential, but no, I didn't get.

(02:11:49):
No, no choke left some great points.
Great points. Play 2 of.
Them I did not. Which he admits.
Bruh I didn't get bullied into essential but make it make
sense. Make it make sense.
You go put that game one level above crackdown.
Dude. You got to put that franchise
one level above Crackdown. Again, I'm I'm going to talk on
that and Al, I know what you're going to say.
It's our opinion. I get that.

(02:12:10):
I no, no, no, I get that. I wasn't going to say that.
What I was going to say is he only played two games in the
franchise. I only played three games in the
franchise. How many games did you play in
the franchise? 12345, maybe six.
OK, So you played, you and Turboprobably played the most and
Sticks you played all of them, right?
I played all of them. For an hour, pretty much I.

(02:12:31):
Played it off to the masses, allof them.
Stop it, Sir. But yeah, no, look, I'm basing
it off of what I played, right? And that's all I can do is just
give my opinion. But the The thing is with this
list, we we got to go, all of ushave to go.
You know, it's an average of what everybody is to go
collectively. Now, am I saying that the shit

(02:12:51):
is garbage? It's trash.
It's no, I'm not saying that thefucking world loves this game.
It's a it's a franchise that's beloved, right?
But it's unfortunate that, you know, it's, it's it averaged out
to that to, but we also have to do due diligence because if we
do, if all of us did play Grand Theft, let's say, let's say two
of us, let's say we all played it, but we played 1-2, never

(02:13:14):
experienced 3-4 and five. And we gave an opinion on that.
And we're like, you know what, it's kind of okay, we would
probably lose at least 1000 subscribers because of the
nonsense, because that's becauseit's like, but if it's like
another series that's like, you know, like a Borderlands, yeah,
you're not going to have that. You know, it's whatever.
But like, but when you have a Zelda, a Grand Theft, you have
to. There's some things you can't

(02:13:35):
get, you can't get away with some.
Stuff you said that the next Grand Theft you're not
interested in. There's nothing for you,
correct? No, that's 100.
That's that's 100% OK. But I played, I played three.
I played through four. I played through 5 the entire
games. Not, not just an hour, 3-4, not
just an hour, not just an hour. No, the games that I just played

(02:13:56):
is the ones that I beat like, and when we talk about open
world, Breath of the Wild was their big open world game that.
Did nothing before. Me, you played an hour and a
half. I played the entire four days
before an hour and a half. You got lost and got killed.
You got lost and got killed. I mean, that's not really a
portion of the game. The game's like a 60 hour plus.
So the game, so it's an essential let's, let's move on

(02:14:19):
to the next game. We got to do a speed run now.
Shit, there's no more games. This is the podcast.
There we do have to do a speed, we have to do a speed run.
For the rest of the podcast. We could, all right?
For argument's sake, I threw it in the essential.
There you go, It's fine. I'm not.
Everyone's happy. Not arguing I.
Believe that word. I could live, I could breathe.
I could breathe again. Listen, I only did it to piss

(02:14:42):
off Turbo. Oh no, I knew, I knew as soon as
we we got 2 goods. Turbo was about to fuck.
Heel sticks. All right, love it.
Rapid fire. We got to go through the rest of
this list here. Y'all all right?
Mafia debuted August 29th, 2002.Three main line titles developed

(02:15:03):
by Illusion Software and Hangar 13, published by 2K, available
on PlayStation, Xbox and PCI, did not play.
It same here, it never played I.Was going to jump it but it
never played so. I played, what, 2?
I played Part 2 the entire thing.
I played the entire thing. Yeah, I played parts good.
It was awesome. It was really, really good time,
but it was so long ago, so. You don't.
Even remember, right? No, no, I remember having a good

(02:15:24):
time. It was fucking dope.
I just can't really point out key moments because it was over
like probably 10 years ago. But I I, I, I, if I'm going to
go off of memory, I would. And there's no very good
category. So it was dope.
So I don't know where to put that if that, if that's.
New one isn't really. I didn't play one, I didn't play

(02:15:45):
3. Are the new ones not open world
or something like that? So it doesn't.
Go I would actually go with the chat 2 with my opinion because I
play 2 I like 2 a lot it's just I played it such a long time ago
ending was kind of fucked up butit was dope when I played it I.
Always thought it looked good. Yeah, it was a fun time.

(02:16:07):
I just don't really here, he said.
One and two. OK, very linear.
For the open world, it's. Good.
Good. Yeah.
You know what? Put it in good.
Put it in good. Put it in good.
Put in good. Terrible.
You played this. I have not played the mafia.
Definitely not, because The thing is, if it was something
that was great, I would remember.
Gotcha. But I do remember having fun, so
I'm gonna say good. Does does this game play footage
ring any bells? No, a little bit, little bit, a

(02:16:30):
little bit. All right.
Nothing crazy where I could be like, hey, I remember that.
I'm not going. To it looks like looks like
hitman. Yeah, right, it does.
Like Hitman? All right.
All right. On to the next.
So you said good. Yeah, I'll say good.
Yeah. All right.
Mafia is going under. Good.
That's the only second one in there.
Right now, yeah, essentially wasgood.
Right next. To.
Zelda I. Don't know what happened.

(02:16:51):
No, I couldn't let that go. I'm like, no, we can't move
forward with Zelda, and good I can't do.
That if I say great, would it have been?
Great. I could bend all right there.
I could bend with great. But it's essentially I know you
couldn't I changed mine the great but anyway, don't hold on
to the next one. I did.
I changed after. Stay with.

(02:17:11):
Mine after thinking about I knowyou are, I know you are, but all
right, next game. Marvel Spider Man 3 main line
titles developed by Insomniac Games, published by Sony.
Available on PlayStation and PC Essential.
Essential. That's good.
Yeah. Keep it moving.
Yeah. Yeah, I'm.
I'm gonna say something real quick about it.

(02:17:32):
Yeah. Essential.
Essential. Yeah.
Part 1. Fucking incredible. 2 topped it
on every level. Nothing else to say.
What about Miles? Miles.
Incredible. Yeah.
Just the only thing bad about It's too short.
That's it. But it's ADLC to me and it
doesn't lower rating for it. It's essential, right?
Yeah, it's. A sold out of budget price, so
it was appropriately priced. Yeah, it's a whole that's

(02:17:54):
serious. It's essential.
I mean, what the fuck? Sensational.
Cafe almost got put in time out,damn it.
Jay. Cafe.
Hey, yo, Beardy said. Imagine Zelda and Mafia in the
same tier, yo. I couldn't let it happen,
Beardy. I couldn't let it happen.
Borderlands, come on. I couldn't let it happen.
That'd be fucking. Crazy they're.

(02:18:15):
All the Borderlands. They're all popular titles,
yeah. Even Zelda.
Yeah. Borderlands is huge spider man.
We can't. I mean.
You know how many mafia movies are?
Yeah, stop. There's only one Zelda cartoon.
Stop it. All right, Spider man.
Yeah, you can put that right. You can put that right next to
the back. I'll fix it.
I'll fix it later, man. Yeah.
Cool. Spider Man's essentially easy.
Yeah, next. No time needed to talk about

(02:18:36):
that. Metal Gear Solid debuted October
21st, 1998. Five main line titles developed
by Konami Computer EntertainmentJapan, Published by Konami
PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Nintendo.
I'll, I'll start this one great.OK, I can't.

(02:18:57):
Oh, wow. OK, just great.
That's it. I.
Can't really put an opinion on Iplayed like 2 minutes of the
first Metal Gear Solid. That's it.
Wow, wow, wow. Regardless of how I feel about
Wow shit, how about Sam part of.The That's part of the thing,
man. That's part of the thing.
Four and five. I know people love 4 as an

(02:19:18):
argument for five. I like Ground zeroes.
That what the first one? First one was, first part with
five was Ground Zeroes and then.Ground Zeroes is amazing, right?
5 was not great, so I'm putting it overall as a series.
I love one, love three. I think 2 is 2 is 2 is good.

(02:19:42):
Overall I'd say the series is great.
I would have put essential if I cared about 5.
Yep, that's just actually the same thing I I was so even
though I just said great, but yeah, 5.
I'm going to go with great. Overall, I lost interest in five
after. I like that it pushed gaming
into Hollywood status. Yeah.
And what it did cinematically and obviously, I still think 3

(02:20:04):
is the best out of any of them and I can't wait for that read.
Three's awesome. But I'll let you go because I I
did my. Yeah, I don't know if my opinion
matter like I did half two. I played half of 1 and I played
the entirety of two. That's it.
I've never played three, never played four, never played five.
So you never finished one? I just stopped halfway.
Wow. I.
Played two first. Yeah, I played two first, I

(02:20:26):
think, and I played halfway through one.
So I don't play the the GameCube1 you said right?
I don't even know, no. I think it might have been the
original snakes. I think you might have played.
That maybe, I guess maybe I dude, because you.
Didn't have PlayStation. Maybe I played it when it was
over here. I don't really.
Maybe we also had the fake Genesis.
I mean, sorry, the fake Dreamcast 1 you had.

(02:20:47):
Bleem. You had it on.
Bleem. Bleem.
I think it. Was blame me.
I don't know to be honest, I don't I don't remember how I
played one, but I played it up like like halfway, but I played
two played the entirety of two Blast boss pissed me off.
I actually beat him at 6:00 in the morning.
Jeez, because I yeah, scissors. So I can't I, I don't know if I
could just base the entire series with just those two

(02:21:10):
experiences, but. Is that 5 being the only world
game is the good damn it's. The only open world game it's
like technically. But just from those two
experiences, I'll say it was great.
I mean, I love to. I thought it was a great time
and one halfway through that wasa great time.
So I can't I. Mean there's also PSP I can't
forget, but our portable OPS rape them in there.

(02:21:31):
But you know, it does exist. But yeah, Turbo.
Let's see, it's true. The only real open world ones,
Ground Zeroes and fan and paint.But, you know, then you go to
portable OPS, then you go to peace.
Peacemaker was it? Oh.
Peacemaker was dope, yeah, but then.
You got to call the game that was a underrated.

(02:21:51):
Super good. Game I played the HD remake of
that that came out for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
That game is underrated. One of the best Metal Gear
solids. I think this I I played, I think
I played all of them except for the Acid games.
What about the Acid games? I don't know man, what about
Metal Gear Survive? No.

(02:22:14):
That doesn't count, man. Good.
Because of that. Yeah, because of that.
OK, but as a series God. Didn't even happen.
I gotta give it essential, I think the story, the characters
writing, I gotta give it. And this is the thing 5 has some
flaws and it the story was not finished there.
Was some flaws on? The cutting board, but I think

(02:22:37):
with I think ground zeroes was an awesome demo and I think the
phantom pain expanded on all of those systems and it then it
also actually started with with peace peacemaker.
So you know, I got the games areall awesome.
I love the characters essential.Gotta do it, gotta do it.

(02:22:57):
So we got 2 greats, an essentialwhich makes it great going
great. Going great.
Listen, I wouldn't argue if it got essential, I'd be like,
alright, yeah, yeah, it's. It's Metal Gear.
I just want to address We got 17people in the chat and only 11
likes. What the hell?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Only 11 likes.
Oh no dog, they saw the discord about Zelda so they.

(02:23:19):
My bad, my bad. We probably got a bunch of
unheard sounds. But we fixed it.
We. Fixed it though.
Zelda is an essential. Yeah, fixed it.
Zelda is an essential. Like how we voted.
We all voted essential. And.
As motherfucker. Alright, there we go.
We got metal. Gear.
Metal Gear is going under great.All right, what do we got next?
Next game, like in there. Oh God, Oh my God.

(02:23:43):
All right, chalk, as soon as youfinish reading this, I'm going
to give my vote. How many?
How many love Oh? Shit Middle Earth debuted
October 7th, 2014. Two main line titles developed
by Monolith Productions, published by Warner Brothers
Interactive Entertainment on PlayStation, Xbox and PC.

(02:24:03):
OK, this game has to be an essential.
I can't see it any other lower than that essential 100.
Percent what's? What's great about it?
That's all essential. The Nemesis system is such an
underrated freaking system that's locked into this game,

(02:24:29):
and that's what makes it great. It's addictive, just like Grand
Theft Auto when you're running away from cops, you don't have
to do any missions, you don't have to do anything.
You could just get revenge. Wow, wow.
All day. Dude, it's essential.
Dude, I I can't stress that enough if you have not played
this game or any of these games in the series.
And you like Batman. And you like?
Arkham. Yeah, it's it's freaking

(02:24:52):
essential. You must play.
So yeah, that's my vote. You played it, I started it,
then I stopped. Why?
How? How was it possible?
How was it possible? I forgot what I what else I was
playing. Explain yourself, Sir.
I forgot what I was playing. Explain yourself.
No, there's no reason. That's the explanation.
You made this man cry. Yeah, it's OK.

(02:25:12):
It's OK. He'll be all right.
So no way. Yeah, I'm.
I can't give it AI, can't give us a solid opinion on it.
All right. If you.
Asked me this last year. Listen, if you asked me just
last year, I would have been like, I never played it.
Don't get it. Don't nobody doubt it all
whatever, but what do y'all giveit?
But I did play the first game and some of the 2nd and listen,

(02:25:36):
it's an essential y'all. This is going down in the
history of gaming fun as one of the funnest.
Listen, you chop off heads. It's just, it's just fun to chop
off. Sound it makes dude, it's it's
just sound you. Listen.
Imagine if you could just run around and chop people in half.
That's that sounds like fun, right?

(02:25:59):
What's wrong with you? I'm gonna put you away.
The maniacal laugh right after. Yeah.
What the fuck is that? That just went over my head like
a villain dude, like. A blade you stab them in.
The you like. That you dribble the head like a
basketball. Oh my God.
Not that. Listen, the mechanics of the
game I would have never imaginedwould be as fun as it is.

(02:26:20):
You run around. Like I said, I never played
Assassin's Creed. I can imagine part of this is
what Assassin Creed is like. They said yeah, it's amazing.
It's a little bit Arkham and Assassin's Creed.
Mechanics. That's the climbing, at least.
Yeah, the sneaking and the climbing.
And everything I can see is likea child of Assassin's Creed,
which was a child the Prince of Persia.
So I can see where it comes likeand then the line, but you have

(02:26:43):
a sword and you can just run up on people and you sneak up and
it's so fun to sneak. Up and.
They don't make it like, oh, youheard a footstep.
They see, you know, you could run up on everybody.
They'll be standing next to someone and you chop him in
half. Dude didn't see him at all.
You run up next to him, you chophim in half.
And then they, they see each other in heaven.
Like, like, it's hilarious. Look at this, look at this is

(02:27:05):
the Arkham system. You fight like Arkham battle
system. You fight like 30 people at the
same time, you have bosses running up on you while you're
fighting. Oh my God.
And then you fight. I fought 6 sponsors at the same
time, it was ridiculous. If you ever like the.
Same time, yes. And people have ever watched the
the the movie Willow and you ever see the part where Mad
Martigan finds his armor and he and he's in that whole castle by

(02:27:28):
himself fighting everybody. You are mad.
This is exactly what it feels like.
Yes, that's exactly what I picture is a one man army.
Yes, just you can do that. You can't do it.
You don't have to. You could play stealth, but you
can. Just look at the footage.
Yeah, this is this is exactly what it is.
This this game is exactly what it is The the nemesis system
make. This is what separates this from
any all the other open world games.

(02:27:49):
Yeah, this is Assassin's Creed all that this that system
separates it from everything. And The thing is.
I wish didn't have a patent on it.
That's the that's the problem. The thing is that like every
time, and me and Al felt this way for a minute, that anybody
that has not played this game, hey, it gets me mad.
It gets me, it gets me very angry that no one has played
through this. When I see Chuck play Batman

(02:28:12):
Arkham and he fights all these guys and he's doing this for
hours, I'm like, how do you not like this?
Even worse, how do you start playing and then you stop and
and and beardy, that's exactly the.
Context I was. Playing it makes you when you
see it, it makes you want to play it again.
Look at the this is promotions and the it's one of the funnest

(02:28:34):
games and that look at that and the heads on and the fucking
head is on. This is great.
Exactly what I described. How was that?
How was that not bull? That's like, so satisfying, too.
When that happens, you're like, oh, and the heads still rolling.
Yeah. And.
They said I was crazy, he said Iwas crazy.
It's the sound it makes. Yeah, you know, and having all

(02:28:56):
those fucking generals talk thatshit.
Yep. And then you split them in half
and chop their head off. And The thing is, you're doing
it. A corny guy hit you with an
arrow. Yeah.
And then you die. Yeah, yeah, he's the guy.
And then you don't go to bed because that corny motherfucker
just got promoted. Yes.
And that guy cannot get promoted.
And the crazy thing is, Stick says this is essential.
He didn't play through the. Second one.

(02:29:17):
Yet I don't. Know I want to see him lose his
shit after playing the second one cause the second one is Part
1 on steroids. Dude, the fact that I beat Part
1 and then it will be back in the game and I played it for
another two hours and I beat. It dude, it's it's never ending.
It's insane. And I cleared the area.
I was like, yo, I'm killing. And and Turbo, I know you get on
your stupid ass nonsense with your 60 frames bullshit and the

(02:29:39):
fact that you haven't played this, you should be ashamed if
you call yourself a fucking. Game it's gonna come to the
Switch to it's gonna. Shut the fuck you see, That's
what you're waiting. That's why you're a fake ass
gamer, no? Yeah, I play there like 90
frames on APC, easy. Yeah, it's getting essential.
Yeah. Nothing.
I have nothing else about that. This is essential.

(02:29:59):
Don't even don't even ask any further questions, Turbo, which
should be a shame. Jesus Christ.
Yes, if you haven't. I'll eventually play it 160.
No, you won't. Go fuck.
Yeah, that's a lie. That's so angry.
What's the? Next.
Oh God. All right, it's pissing me off.
Those 60 frames. Just have 6 frames up your ass.
Wow. All right, next game up.

(02:30:20):
You want. To see that turbo hold on the
next game up. Red Dead Redemption debuted May
6, 2004. Three mainline titles Rockstar
San Diego Developed by Rockstar San Diego, Published by Rockstar
Games available on PlayStation and Xbox.
I got to say which game is essential.
I agree, essential. PCL even even playing Red Dead

(02:30:43):
Revolver, which was the first game in the series.
No, not part of it, no. Yeah, Red Red Dead Revolver.
I love that game even though it was non open world.
It's more linear like Arcady. And then when Red Dead
Redemption came out, that changed everything.
That was like an open world freaking.

(02:31:04):
It was dope. As a hold up.
As a hold up damn. As a hold up to Gunsmoke.
You stop it with Gunsmoke. Wow, stop to stop that.
It's. Pretty quick Gunsmoke.
Experience was excessive. But that right now it is, yeah.
I'm going to put, I'm going to put Red Dead Redemption in the
central. Agreed.

(02:31:24):
It's unessential because I mean,Red Dead Redemption too, even I
love that game. My only gripe is that there's so
much shit to do. It's like, yeah, a lot of 1
mission is 1% of the freaking lot of the game.
I'm like, you could play that for a year.
Yeah, just played it for the year.
Red Dead is a lifestyle dude. It's it's.
Crazy. There's so much that you could

(02:31:45):
do this with the card game. You could play poker.
You like so much stuff in the get, fishing, fucking like, you
name it. There's so much stuff that you
could do in the game. I know Terrible didn't play this
and I have not. Played them.
You have not played them. You haven't played either one,
and you haven't played. Yeah.
Wow. You should.
You're in timeout. Oh my God.
When the second one comes to theswitch to.

(02:32:05):
Oh God man, you. Got you got to stop spending so
much time. Actually the first one came out
to switch 1. He spends too much time.
You spend too much time on your knees.
Or Nintendo. Too much time on your knees for
Nintendo? The second Nintendo comes out
with knee pads. Yo Nintendo knee pads turbo's
like oh great. Not a mouse pad and knee pad.
There's a birthday idea. Yeah.

(02:32:26):
You gotta get. I'm gonna get you some knee pads
and say Nintendo. All right, Al, you said
essential. Chuck, you said essential
sticks. I understand what it is.
You play one or two. Or I have not played a damn
thing. Really.
I played one of them. I never played any of them.
I started it. I shot a lady sitting on a bench
and ran. Yo ran.
For my life, the wrong button starting a train station or

(02:32:48):
something that shot her and I was like this is the end for me.
That doesn't get an essential Wow, too real.
Too real for you, man I. Understand, I understand it
being an essential. I never played it.
I watched a lot of it though. I've seen streamers play it.
It's crazy what you can do, so I'm gonna leave it to you.
Yeah, that's easy. I mean, it's essential.
I mean, dude, I mean, I love, I love the shit out of one.

(02:33:10):
I love the shit out of one. Then when I play 2 on a gummy
and I was like riding on a horsepaws and I was going through the
forest and it's the way it the way it looked and how the the
shadows were going. I I was just, I didn't even know
where I was going. I was like, this is fucking
credible. I'm just look at this for a long
ass time. Yeah, it's amazing, man.
I fucking love Charlie Mac in the building.
No. Charlie Mac No.
One on essential, nothing else to say.

(02:33:31):
Essential, essential, essential.You're doing yourself the
disservice if you have not played one or two.
Stop it with Gunsmoke gun. Stop it.
Please gun or Gunsmoke. Paul C said he's going to do a
come raid on Best Buy. He's going to.
Do a come. Raid, he's off.
He's going to do a come raid. All right.

(02:33:51):
Next game. Next game on the list.
Ready. Yeah.
Let's Go Saints Row debuted August 29th, 2006.
Five mainline games developed byVolition, published by THQ and
Deep Silver, available on PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Stadia
I never played. I know Stadia doesn't count.
Turbo turbo I know you didn't play only Saints Row.

(02:34:16):
Game I played was the first one,never finished it because I
couldn't get into it. More of a GTA guy and then the
other game I played was God of the Hell.
That's complete, complete, absolute garbage.
I got the game for free. That's garbage.
And I deleted that shit like right away.
That's garbage. As as did we all.
Oh my God. I wish that 1-2 and three didn't

(02:34:38):
exist for Saints Row so I can put this in trash.
I know. I can't.
I can't go in trash because I can't.
I can't, because Saints Row was hilarious.
And the first 3, Yeah, I could say the first three.
First three yeah, the the jokes they have in there are so funny
and it's an alternative to GTA with nonsense like the the

(02:35:02):
weapons you get the cars, like the the gang warfare like it's
crazy what they did with it. But because the last Saints Row
that came out, which was God off.
After three they destroyed the. Series And then God in hell was
God off Jesus Christ, and that was another one which I don't
remember, which was not great atall.
No, they just never bought it back after the pimp was chasing

(02:35:23):
you The. Pimp the pimp with the vocoder
was amazing. That was part.
Three, yeah. After that, there's no doing
better than that. So I think they pay themselves
in a corner. Right, they did.
So I'm giving it overall, I'm giving it a good.
I'll leave it. There 20 days I I can't really
argue that because I liked one right?
I liked it. I would give, I would give one a

(02:35:44):
good 3 is essential. I don't give a fuck. 3 is
essential, right? Like I'll play that before any
Grand Theft game, right? Part 3 was incredible to me.
I fucking love 32. I don't, I don't know if I
played two, to be honest. I probably did, but it's
probably kind of more like 1, but a little bit better.
Three was was completely essential.

(02:36:04):
And they were spanning on the gang stuff, yeah.
Until they got there. After that they fell off.
I didn't play the ones after that except for that demo.
That was God awful. I don't even count that.
Didn't even count that as a fucking game.
So I'm gonna, I'm gonna go with six on this.
I'm gonna go with good because Iknow the series had so much.
Trash. Literally half and half.
Yeah, no, it is. That's why it goes a good.
You know I can't if it was 3 alone.
Oh, essential. Easily, But.

(02:36:26):
No, the last goes good at the last one they came out with was
anywhere near good. Then I would kind of, I would
throw the grade, yeah, I would throw it to grade.
It would have moved, but they shit on that one.
Too, That was even worse. And Turbo said he didn't play.
Everyone play that shit. No, OK, all right.
I I would say have. A If I, if I barely, you know,
was into the grand thefts and then Saints Row wasn't gonna
really try, OK? Terrible would have got a good

(02:36:46):
like. Yeah, he would be like.
That's an essential for me. What?
All right, I own the entire series.
Huh. So it goes in the Good, good,
good, good. Yeah, I'll give it a good
because 3 was so dope. I mean, I can't say anything
because I pimp with a vocoder Come on.
I can't say anything because the.
Last parts of it almost made it so bad.
Isn't OK almost. There, it almost knocked it

(02:37:06):
down. Does 3.
You said you would play it today.
Three, absolutely. 3. So it holds up absolutely.
Three incredible. They remade 3.
Yeah. Call it a day.
I mean, as is, if I would like, if you were to record, would you
recommend it for me to play right now?
If you want to play it tomorrow,do it.
No 3 is it's fucking fun. Hilarious.
Absolutely. I'll take you up on that one. 3
is awesome. I'll take it.
How how long was that game? Not too not too bad.

(02:37:27):
It wasn't too bad from whatever it wasn't wasn't where I'm like
spending like 90 hours. They gave you superpowers that's
they got real bad. They had like a Mega Man like
tank. This shit's crazy.
Wow, This shit's crazy. I mean, if that's your thing,
then yeah, it's probably good. But.
What's next? Next game.
Shenmue debuted December 29th, 1999.

(02:37:51):
Three mainland games developed by Sega, AM 2 and Wise Net and
published by Sega and Deep Silver, available on Dreamcast,
Xbox, PlayStation and PC. Oh, let's get let's get Turbo's
opinion first. Go ahead, Turbo.
This is all turbo. Damn man, damn man.
Come on, turd. Because this is the thing this

(02:38:13):
is like the OG open world for like.
Don't do it. Don't do it. 3D one, you know,
it's like all right, Shamu one was it's between for me.
It's like between good and great.
You played all, you played all three.
How about play all? 3.
That's a. Series.
I haven't beat all three, but I beat 2.
I beat one. I beat 2 several times.

(02:38:35):
You will never beat 3. No, I've not beaten 33.
Some of the mechanics is like some mechanics are OK.
Some I I questioned the game design the some of the mechanics
in three. So 3 is a TBD.
That's A to be continued to be determined at a later date. 2
was, you know, I thought that was a great game.
I like, I like the story too. I like where I was going.

(02:38:55):
The fighting. That was a lot better.
I don't know what they did with three.
I think the fighting is just it's different.
It's it's. Dated.
Dated. I don't know if it's dated.
It's not. It's dated, not it's dated I
think. I don't think 2 of 1's fighting
is dated. It plays like virtual fighter,
dude. You act like you know, but 3,
they did something with it that's just not that great.

(02:39:18):
Why? You acting like that because it
doesn't exist. Come on, Terrell.
What's the what's the vote? What's the vote, man?
Between 1-2 and three, What's the vote?
As a series, it's inconsistent, so I got to say I can't say it.
Yeah, it's got to get a good. It's not OK.
As a series, it's not OK, but I would I give it a good.
It's a solid good because of thequality of one and two.

(02:39:39):
And I heard that they're going to make a four.
That's a rumor. If they make a four, I hope they
bring it back to one and two level.
I'm going to try to get through three.
It's not the story's not bad, it's just the setting.
I'm not really gelling with too much and the fighting is just
not that great. And I don't like losing energy
just from walking. So like I have to eat food or

(02:39:59):
else to stand with those. But it's like why?
I don't understand why they did.That we have five more games to
to review. So alright, so I'll go since I
played it also I played through 1, did not play three.
I think I played a little bit oftwo and I think good is a good
assessment because I think what they were doing in the first one
was awesome. It was great.
It was kind of groundbreaking. 2I think was a better extension

(02:40:20):
of 1 and I think 3 is just datedthat that style does not work
anymore. Yep.
So I think they needs to evolve.They evolved with four to some
Yakuza type shit and add in someSifu type shit.
I think that would be it would lift the series up, but I would
think it's good. Definitely.
I don't think it's trash. I don't think it's OK.
I think 3 failed the series, butI think 1 and 2 are strong

(02:40:41):
enough to carry. It's a good OK question.
Same with the same thing that you said with the one and two
yeah, applies for to me also. So I I can see it in yeah, it's
good. It's it's a good series.
It did a lot. The fact that they asked for a
Kickstarter to do 3 to finish the series and got the money and
didn't finish the series as a smack in the face to everyone

(02:41:02):
who supported that game. I think they thought the style
still worked and it doesn't. I think they were out of touch.
I think they were out of touch because I think they thought the
nostalgia would carry it. It kind of did.
But the the mechanics don't worknow, and I think they should
have learned their lesson that it doesn't carry over to today's
standards. Yeah, should update it.
Yeah, they got to update it. It's.
Like they had to just sit in there.

(02:41:22):
They said yo, we need money to put this out and they just, it
was done already. I think that they like that
style, but that style doesn't work anymore, that's the thing.
Question which Shenmue had you fighting like 100 people at the.
End one. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was.
That was a that was a dope end, dope end I.
Was. I'll give it to that mode for a
while. Actually, that was that was

(02:41:44):
awesome, really. Yeah, I like the better ninja
gotten too. We could leave it, I guess we
could leave it in good. All right, go on.
The good, good. Collie Mac thinks the essential
it it deserves its credit because Yakuza came after it in
judgement. I give I give credit for that.
But it the way it now, the quality of the games, I don't
think deserves essential. It's got to evolve, that's all.

(02:42:05):
Evolve, that's all. Listen, nobody was in those
houses. And he makes an appearance in
the new shinobi in the background.
There you have it. It might be back.
Which is essential one which is?Essential.
That new Shinobi is essential. All right, next game.
STALKER debuted March 20th, 2007.
Three mainline games developed by GSC Game World published by

This looks like a resident. Looks like stay in the case.
Yeah, it looks like a survival. It's a first person.
Oh, it's first. OK.
Yeah. It was like, it looks
interesting. Even the chat didn't play this
game. No one's played this and it's a
franchise. It's crazy.
Maybe it's good. I don't know what the heck, just
put it in and never played. Never played.
Not speed run guys, speed run. Yeah, speed run.
We got four more. That's only the second one we've

15th, 2019. Two mainline games develop
Respawn Entertainment, publishedby EA, available on PlayStation,

(02:43:31):
Xbox and PC. Al, what's your vote?
It's essential. Oh, there we go.
Essential. God damn it, you played.
You played both. I played both games in your
freaking essential. I can't wait, Lord of the
Bottles said essential as fuck. Essential.
I play both games, God damn it. If you don't say essential, I'm
gonna slap you trash. I'm gonna throw a shoe at you.

(02:43:53):
Trash do something do. Something.
No, it's essential. Games fire.
Yeah, dude, both games are fire.Yes many mic drop moments in in
both games but the second game had more mic drop moments.
But God damn it man, that is it.Should be a movie.
They should have taken the script of the game and made it a
full-fledged movie. Sticks, damn it.

(02:44:14):
I played it a bit, not enough torate it.
You played the first one right? Yes, I played a couple hours of
four or five hours. It's a great game.
I have not gotten through yet, but I'm not gonna rate it.
I played the first one entirely,played probably 3 hours of the
second one. I mean, it's the second one, so
anything like the first one is essential.

(02:44:34):
So it's really not. I mean, it's just.
You said it was improving on the1st when you.
Played yeah, already like the combat, I already felt the
difference between the light, the lightsaber fighting just
feels more. That just feels better.
And that's the first two hours. So I mean, I, I can't see how
this is not going to be essential.
I don't, you know, judging from your reaction.
So I'm going with. You know, Beardy said.
Cal is the most cardboard Jedi ever.

(02:44:56):
Whoa. But it's.
Good. Oh damn beardy.
He's more cardboard than Anakin.Calm down over there, beardy.
Coming Anakin is like, like he is cardboard.
Like literally. I mean, no, he's actually made
him do. That he's made of sense, but
it's too course in the more. In the more recent Star Wars
series, Anakin got his acting got better, but yeah.
I mean, that's like 20 years later.
Yeah, Turbo, Turbo, You didn't play any of these, right?

(02:45:18):
No, I played. I, I, yeah, I beat the first
one. I'd be falling the yeah, I'd be
falling the water. And I owned Survivor.
I haven't played it yet. Oh my goodness, what?
Do you think, Yeah, I'm playing.It's it's coming up though.
It's coming up soon. What do?
You think, Oh no, it's probably the best 3D lightsaber force
using action action game. So not better.

(02:45:41):
Than the team in the in the StarWars series ever.
So I definitely no, it's qualityis essential.
Yeah, if you're a Star Wars fan especially, you know, it's like,
yeah, this is one of the best Star Wars games ever come out.
And if Survivor is ever from what I've read about it and I'll
play it and sings his praises all the time and it's an
improvement in every way on the first one.

(02:46:01):
So if the first one's essential,then you got to give the series
essential. So better than Star Wars on the
game view? That's not a real question.
Don't even think about the. Question.
No. No.
No, I'm thinking of like Rogue Leader, no.
Man. No, we're moving on next game.
Just ignore. Just ignore him.

(02:46:23):
We just hated you, dude. People like, people like.
Come on price people like you have to throw one.
Fucking caught all caught all upin there.
People do like old squadron. Oh Jesus, what we got next?
Hold on one second. Here we go.
Watchdogs debuted May 27th through 2014.
Three mainline games developed by Ubisoft Montreal with support

(02:46:46):
from other Ubisoft studios. Published by Ubisoft
PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Stadia, Wii.
U OK? Who didn't play it all right?
I played all three. I was.
Like I was going to say something else and I'm like,
that was 2 words come by. He's a bump.
I was going to, I was trying notto stutter because I was going

(02:47:07):
to say something else and you threw me off with that question
and I was like that. That was amazing.
He's the hop hop. My brain stopped.
My brain just stopped. And I'm not sure that wasn't
that. That's my review.
All right, I'll go real quick. I played the first three.
I didn't finish the third one, but.
But it's three, huh? There is.

(02:47:28):
Three. Yeah, I thought there was only.
Three, it was Watchdog's Legion.That's the third.
There's more than three, three of them.
There's more than. Three of them.
There's only three. You said the first three.
There's three. Go ahead.
Sorry, I've played all three games.
OK, but I didn't finish the third one.
These I wanna, I'll put it in. Great, great.
Very fun. The hacking that you can do is

(02:47:50):
very cool. You can control a car with a
hack. It's it's mad fun.
You can do all sorts of funky stuff with.
It's like Grand Theft Auto with hacking and Tasers.
And yeah, dude, it's it's it's fun.
I'm going to leave it in. Great.
I don't think it's essential though.
That I only played the first one, and I will say that it's
competent. I went, I beat the game, I got

(02:48:11):
through the whole thing. It was a little bit of a grind
for me personally, so I'm going to give it an OK for me.
I only played, but I only playedthe first.
I only played the first. I'm going with good because it
was mad to me. It wasn't the greatest after you
play it for a while. The the IT just the magic wore
off for hacking and that particular game.
I did watch you play the second one right, And I thought they

(02:48:34):
did a much better job on that. But I did not play any of the of
the other ones other than one and I thought they just fell off
one that one. So me, if I was given anything
will be good, but I'm not going to count that because obviously
I didn't play all three. I wish I played the third one.
I did not. I keep forgetting the third one
came out. I played.
One here was better. Than one one was good.
I will give one a good. I thought 2 was great, 2 was

(02:48:57):
fucking. Good, I'll tell you.
You probably wouldn't like the third one because you don't have
a central main character. Oh, yeah, there's like all
different. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you can. I thought that was an
interesting thing. That's why I wanted to play it.
It is cool. Yeah, it's interesting.
Grandma Squad. You can.
Yeah, you can. Recruit Grandma.
You can recruit other people, like a bunch of different people

(02:49:18):
for their skill sets, yeah, but you don't have like a central
main character. But I really did dig the story
of 2. Is that like State of Decay
where you could just choose random characters in I'm saying
the three. You didn't play 3.
Kind of yeah. Kind of, yeah.
Between a bunch of people. I gotcha.
I got stealing cars. I'm going to say I'm a go with
good cuz 2 was great, 2 was great, borderline essential.

(02:49:40):
I'd love to, I really love to, but I think 1 was good.
I think this is doing Ubisoft's worst days.
But. 3 came. Out, but these are all they were
quality games. I had a good time with them.
I like the hacking shit to let you really do some crazy shit.
And yeah, if it was just two alone I would definitely throw
it in great. And I remember this one moment

(02:50:01):
in two where they're playing, I think this song called Check the
technique while you're doing some hacking.
Oh wait, that sounds silly. Tone I was.
Like Part 2? Yeah, they're there too.
That sounds familiar. Yeah.
Now, 2 did do like, they did a great job, yeah.
Anyways, 22 is an improvement. Two OK's and A and a good.
That's another, yeah, one's OK. I know, I said great. 2 is

(02:50:23):
great. Well, two, but one great.
Leave it in good two. Good.
Leave it in good. Yeah, Yeah, we gotta.
Go goes in good. Yeah.
All right. F3 was more on another level.
Oh, hold on. Wait, Turbo, did you play?
Let me stop. Turbo didn't play that shit.
Let me stop, man. Trouble didn't play that shit.
We know. Watch folks.
I play watch cats but I've not played no.
Watch and what's next? What's the next game?

(02:50:44):
How many we got 'cause he's got to be we.
Only have two more. OK, we get it done.
What's? Going on the game, we have 8
minutes. Yeah, next game.
The Witcher. It came out October 26th, 2007.
Three games developed by CD Project Red.
Published by CD Project Come on Man.

(02:51:06):
Available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switched.
Never played them. Yeah.
I only played like 20 minutes ofthe first game or the not the
first game. The third game Witcher 3 and I
like the side missions. I'll say that everyone.
Says the best side. Missions.
I like the side missions that that shit was like almost

(02:51:26):
borderline like better than the main story.
But I haven't played enough to to really, you know, vote on
this so. Listen, from what I know, which
of three is, I know it's an essential game.
I did not play it yet. I have it.
I own it. I'm sure the public will say
essential. I have not.
I'm sure they will. I played two for a little bit.
You played two? Really.
Remember I played two and I got killed by these creatures in the

(02:51:48):
sewer and the and the checkpointwas terrible and I said I'm done
and that was it. So I can't say shit.
Yeah, I know Witchat is going toput this.
This is what I'm saying. Yeah, so we'll leave this to the
chat. The chat can can vote on this
one. The turbo is.
A turbo. So we should put in.
I own The Witcher 3. I played a probably good two

(02:52:10):
hours. It hasn't.
I haven't gotten to the point yet where I'm clicking with all
the systems yet, so I cannot. I still.
I'm not qualified to give an opinion on this game yet, but I
know I could feel that it's going to be incredible and I
just haven't given it the time yet, so I can't say.
Let's chalk it up to never played.

(02:52:30):
Yeah, unless someone who's do wehave enough in the chat to say
an essential? Beardy says.
We don't have enough time in thechat, Paul.
Says high, great to essential. Well, we're talking series
though, so we're counting one and two, right?
No one counts one, right? 2 isn't the greatest of all
time. Yeah, 3.
Years put it put it in three is good put in never play and.

(02:52:50):
The series OK. To be safe.
But I say yeah never played counts cuz.
But we know where it goes. None of us beat the game, yeah.
So sorry Witcher, we know where it belongs.
But yeah, yeah, it's going and never played for us.
Never played, which isn't bad. Sorry, Witcher.
It doesn't mean it's bad, it just means we for the games that
we've never played. If you guys make sure you
collectively super chat to make sure we could quit our jobs and

(02:53:14):
have time to play these games. Let's do that now.
Let's see the never go up. I'm sorry.
Wow. Witcher 3 design Witcher 3, but
all right, we on the last. The last game, everybody, and
I'll tell you right now before we even get to it, I did not
play any of these games. Cyberpunk.
Probably me too. That's the Witcher again.
That was my mistake the last game.

(02:53:37):
It's not something. Kuza Like a Dragon December 8th,
22,000 and 5/8 plus mainline games developed by Ryuga Gotoku
Studio. Published by Sega on
PlayStation, Xbox and PC. Never played.
I never played unfortunately. I actually.
Won. Unfortunately I never played it
either. Same turbo.
Turbo played. Something look, I've beaten this

(02:53:58):
no * lost Paradise which is madeby it's it's made in that same.
It's not yakuzu, dude. It's not Yakuzu.
It's look, it's just it's Ken. Shiro is Kiru, I forgot his
name. Bro did you play the fucking
series? Yes, I play.
I'm currently playing zero rightnow, man.

(02:54:18):
That's it, Yeah. The only one I played was Zero.
I play, I put a couple of hours that it's very good.
It's a very, very, very good series and it's very it is an
evolution of how Shenmue should play so.
This is. Why you're never going to beat
Shenmue 3? That's exactly what he's never
going to play the game again. Probably it's like it's, it's
foul. It really is foul because it's

(02:54:39):
like Yakuza plays like an evolved freaking Shenmue.
It even has the arcade games too.
They they even contribute the Sega games in that too, like
Shenmue does. It's foul, yeah.
I can't I can't comment on the series because I've only played
just like one but but and you know, by extension fish so *
Lost Paradise, which plays exactly the same, you know, but

(02:55:00):
Turbo. Turbo, we got to announce this.
Paul C said he's muting you. He paid 5 bucks.

This guy give 10 more. Paid for it, he paid for it.
We got a mute. Comment on the series so far.

(02:55:21):
So far so good. I would give it a good at the
very least. You can't.
Maybe even a great if I play another one can't rate it.
Can't rate you put it man, just play one game.
Exactly, he said. All that to say, he can't read
it. Word where he said mad shit just
say no I can't read it. You can't give me, I can't
really rate the series, but I think it I feel like it's going
to be great. So it never played.
Never played. Yeah.
All right, that that concludes it.

(02:55:43):
All right, let me go through thelist of the games here.
