Developed by Fury You Published by X Seed Games.
Available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4,
PlayStation Five, and Microsoft Windows.
(02:49):
That is Trinity Trigger. Trinity Trigger.
We got to get back into this game.
I missed it. Oh yeah.
Yes. Yes, I got secret amount of
vibes. Very.
Strong, very strong secret amount of vibes in this game.
Tighter combat. Tighter combat than the secret.
I was about to say Streets of Rage.
Whoa, tighter combat. Bubbles getting to you.
(03:11):
Yeah, this shit is rage. Now this was dope, man.
I like how all the three characters have different
weapons, but they could switch between that and the the arrows
and stuff like that. Shit was so dope.
That's kind of combat's so awesome.
Looks like a A. Really, It looks like the best
Super Nintendo game ever made. Or it could be a Saturn game.
Yeah, that's. Just shit but a very clean
(03:32):
Saturn game. Really.
No, bro. Don't be.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. See.
We'll see. I I already don't like you
bringing up the Saturn, and now you're going to insult the
Saturn at the same time, You know the rules You're not
allowed to talk about, Sir. Not allowed to talk about that.
Yeah, yes. Alright, cool.
Six knows that he's not allowed to talk about certain system.
Play Dragon Force. That I did not know.
(03:54):
OK, you got me. You got me there.
OK, But about this though, one thing I didn't.
The only thing I didn't like wasthat you have to and this is the
secret amount of thing too. You have to get the the person
in your party. Yes, before you can add a second
player or third. Player that always annoys me in
games. And it's like a good three hours
in. To get both right.
Yeah, man, really. Besides that point, I mean I, I
(04:15):
guess I mean give me a shadow until then or something, I don't
know. Something something where or
like a little healer or something you.
Know you'd be mad if it. Was a shadow.
I'd be very pissed off. It's like, just have them
available during the beginning. But the game's awesome, man.
We got to run that back. We got to finish that game
because the story was called. Combat was very dope.
Bosses were good, yeah. I like for fun.
(04:36):
I I like how we kind of figured out at the end of the stream how
you know when we equip those certain things, they change your
combo. Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Yes, yes. It was just like, we're just
like, what the heck is all this?I'm like, oh, every time we swap
these woody stones or something,we're swapping.
Like you can customize like yourcombo that you do and they all
have different properties and it's just like it's, it's deep.
It has a really deep system I think.
(04:57):
It was that part of the game where it was like, no fucking
way, yeah, you could do this. Oh no, it's.
It's it's, and I like the special.
Like you get like a specialist, something like that when you
fill up a gauge. It's really it's that I like the
game so far. We have to really get back into.
How far did you guys get throughthe game?
We didn't beat it, not yet, but we do have to get back to it
like. What, 2 hours in from when you
(05:18):
streamed? That was it probably.
No, I played more. Because Jay played, oh, you
played more on the side, you know, well, because he had to
unlock the guys. Oh OK, after the three hours and
change he did, we did probably like another three.
Three after that, I think, yeah.OK.
Guys like. Yeah.
All right, awesome game. Very, very awesome.
All right, so Trinity Trigger. Yes, yes.
(05:38):
Yes, if you like Secret Amana, let me check it out.
Trinity Trigger. And if you're angry that Trials
of Mana wasn't more than one player, even though the remake
looks beautiful and Trinity Trigger is definitely something
that would be up your alley. Definitely strong vibes.
I think even people, some employees of XC games were made
the original Mana I think. So really, that's really, that's
(06:00):
always a plus. They came from that.
You'd think so. No, I'm pretty.
I think about. Sealer quality man.
Y'all can Fact Check me lately but I'm pretty.
Sure. So they get that sealer quality.
Oh yes, absolutely. So hold on one second before we.
Move. Into the to the main topic here
I got y'all some gifts. Oh gosh.
So it's right under your chair. Oh, if you have it on the on the
(06:23):
table, actually in this bag. Got some some gifts here.

course this is one of the best Ithink symbols make.
(07:27):
You should have You should have hit him in a hard to find place.
Yeah, and it's cool because I saw, I just watched the the Mega
Man episode of Secret. Level Oh, did you catch that
trailer? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was mad. Me too.
Oh my. God this is dope.
Oh my God, it's so too short. It's crazy because I haven't
had. It was like 5 minutes.
Alcohol to drink, I feel. That was it.
Was it better than the Mega Man X anime they had?
(07:50):
Before that was dope. It was dope.
It could have been dope, right? They even had the music.
I was like, Oh my gosh, I'm playing like a remix of music
and it said credits. I said, dude, what?
Wow, he. Said I had Mega Man.
Let's. Put it the energy tank for Mega
Man. This is a great shot glass.
I think that's everybody's qualms with the secret.
Life. Thank you man.
Really, it's too short. I'm glad you guys like it.
(08:10):
Some of them look good, Very. Thoughtful.
They're all short, but some of them look good.
Much better than others. Yeah, the first.
Some of them aren't the. Very first episode was the the
Jinjin Dragons one or yeah, thatwas that was fire.
I like that. One yeah, Oh my gosh.

Unreal Tournament. Yeah, that was my favorite.
Wow, the story that they told was pretty dope.
Pac-Man was horrifying. Well, Pac-Man, they kind of
spoiled with the. Trick.
Yo that was weird man. They spoiled it with the game
that was weird from the Game Awards, but I saw what I don't
like. Oh.
I know. Oh, I smelled.
I know where it is. What a odd take on Pac-Man.
(08:56):
That's what you're saying it is,man.
It smells like it. Not chartreuse.
Oh really? OK, it smells like a bottle.
But that's no short truce. No truce.

(10:22):
Whiskey's great man. You're getting a lot for a shot
for me. Actually, the fine thing is this
is an actual shot. Yeah, I was.
I thought I was pouring too much.
I'm like, no, this is actually the right, the right dose.
It's actually perfect. Well, if you haven't noticed, I
got my voice back for us. But second.
Our Resident Evil bartender. Huge.
I should have gave you chartreuse, it probably would
have helped with your. Yeah.
(10:44):
Oh, hey guys. I forgot to mention for
everybody out there, we have a new sound effect.
I just set it up yesterday. It's a here we go ready.
That works in so many. There you go.
Yes, so many ways. Oh yeah, I said it.
Last week I was like why don't we have a toilet flush sound
effect? That's crazy.
Y'all just hear that Kev left just he's a, he's a, he's a like
(11:08):
fucking Red skull freak. All right, now you got to do
sound bite. Yeah, there you go.
Yeah, big things coming for nextyear, but Oh yeah, let's get in
on the podcast topic. That's right, we're going to be
talking about all the multiplayer games we streamed
(11:30):
this year. Oh yeah.
Oh, there was a lot of them. This is a multiplayer channel,
yes? Bizarre said the toilet sound
did not play for them. Oh, damn, I'm sorry.
So that means you got to go to the bathroom?
Yeah, just go to. Let me real quick, let me get
the real sound effect. You know what I'm saying?
(11:52):
Oh. That's why it didn't work.
All right, Gauntlet was that. Damn, I want to play Gauntlet.
Actually, I've I've been cravingthat.
What was it? The PS4?
Yeah, PS4. That one's awesome.
You should do another Streets ofRage four run through.
Yeah, I haven't played since theupdate.
Like the big update they had damn little extra combos and
stuff. Yeah.
Future Rage 4 you could throw any day.
(12:12):
Hold up you guys. Let me know if you hear this
sound effect, because if that wasn't working, I don't know if
this was working. That's a long song.
If you guys heard that, I just played the sound effect.
I'm not going to tell you what it was, but if you heard it,
tell me what it was in the chat,please.
(12:34):
We know what it is because we heard it, but I don't know if
you guys heard it real. Yeah, before we go forward.
Yeah, that chartreuse is not sitting.
Because I see this, it's warmingup my entire body right now.
So unnecessary. Yeah, man.
So usually that's my reaction, yeah.
Just nice and pretty. It hits like so many nerves and
like it just does so much shit to you.
(12:56):
I'm like, oh. Felt like a throat punch this
time. Yeah, they're gonna do that for
like, colonoscopy prep. You know they gonna have you do
short shoes. What?
Dude, what are you talking? About to clean you out.
Okay, we weren't even. They didn't hear it.
Okay, I see what the problem is.Yeah, I got to go through each
sound effect. Really.
Oh God. We ain't got to do that live.
No, sorry, I I said that out loud.
(13:17):
Sorry. I was supposed to be in my head.
It's freaking drinks, man. I mean.
No, we got a tier list. Yeah, we don't have to worry
about the sound effects. I'll do them live.

Tommy off they Yeah, let me knowif you guys heard that because I
was playing it before. No, I guess nobody heard it.
No, because all of them are we. Shout out anyway, they hear.
Us. I like it.
I love it how that is like the official sound effect for
people. It just makes me laugh, the fact
(13:58):
that that's actually a thing. I love how people, what people
learn, where it's from. It's amazing where they find out
what it's from. They're like, really, wow.
DD. It's it's fucking amazing.
Nah, so we're about that was an inside joke.
Inside joke for. Years for years.
And now it's like part of the podcast.
Yeah, fucking amazing. All right, so we're kicking off
with this tier, Yeah. Let's jump in.
(14:18):
Let's jump in. Let's jump in.
We. Got a lot, so let's.
Jump in. Y'all ready?
Chalk, you ready? No.
Oh, OK. All right.
Go. Ahead, go ahead.
See, there goes the sound effect.
All right. So the figure.
The first one we got is. 30 XX. Released August 9th, 2023.
Developed and published by Battery Staple Games Platformed
(14:42):
on. Windows switch.
It didn't. It's on Windows and Nintendo
Switch. I don't know why I said
platformed. You know what?
It's a shark. Truth kicking in, baby.
Let it take over. I thought it was on steam as
well. I thought it was on steam for
the longest I guess. Huh, got it.
Crazy. A very important announcement.
Emerald Blizzard is now in the chat that he has.
(15:03):
Emerald Wizard. He has beaten Shadow of Mordor
very. Cool.
That's a real 1. You know what that game is about
if you haven't played. A shame.
On you that's. All turbo, I'm sorry I'm waiting
for the 60 frame patch. It's already been out.
Stop. All right, SO30XX.
Right, okay, 30 XX. Yeah, it's better than 20 XX.
(15:25):
Oh, it's way better than 20 XX oh shit you know what I like we
forgot to go over our new tier list My bad.
Because yeah, we have an updatedtier list.
We we had to change the categories with each tier
because. For this particular.
One the other ones wouldn't fit for this one.
So let's go over let's go over each tier.
(15:46):
So anybody would like to read that out?
All right, I'll read it. At the top of the chain of the
food chain is the. Goat.
The goats. In 2nd place comes great.
Great. 3rd place is very. Good, Very good. 4th place is.
Good, good. 5th place is. OK, OK, OK.
(16:10):
And in six. What up, Benny Joyce?
What up Benny? Joyce, what's the deal?
All right. Well, thank you for joining.
Us. So since was it just two of us
who have played 30XX? Yeah, pretty much.
Turbo you should start I guess. I like the no.
The action was much better. I think the art was a little bit
(16:33):
more pixelated than it was. It was kind of smooth in the
first one and we're more pixelated.
Look for this one. Two player Mega Man X like.
Yeah, online coop. I'm trying to figure out.
The first one had online coop. I don't think so.
Probably not, but the second onedefinitely did.
The music was. Dumb.
I like the combining the weaponsto get a new weapon mechanic was
really cool. And that was last bosses Jesus.
(16:55):
They were tough difficulties up there.
You know, and it gives people what they want when they're
trying to look for a, if they ever imagine Mega Man X being
two players, which X7 was supposed to be.
I don't know what happened here.The game is right now.
What would you give it? I'm trying to figure out.
Well, it's, it's to to add to that, it was very ambitious with
the the the weapons and, and each boss that you beat each
(17:17):
character, the 0 character and the Mega Man X character do
different shit that the boss that you just beat do that is
very pretty, pretty awesome. The one thing that stood out
more than anything is this soundtrack.
Oh, soundtrack. Holy shit.
If this was a Mega Man game, people would say it's the best
soundtrack in the series. That's how good the soundtrack
was. That blew me away.
(17:39):
Not to say 20 XX had bad music, had good music, but this one
was, you know, when you just stop when you're playing a stage
and you're like, what the fuck? What is this?
I'm listening to? It's fuck crazy.
So yeah, if you're a Mega Man fan and you want to play a
Co-op, this is definitely fucking up there.
Definitely better than the last one.
Much was much improved sequel let me.
Take a peek at that tier list just to see where I think it
(18:01):
would go. Definitely.
I wouldn't give it the goat. I would say, you know what I
would mirror, I would put in MayI put no, it's definitely not
May. It's definitely not OK and it's
definitely not good. So it's between great and very
good. So very good, yeah.
I'm tilting towards very good also.
(18:23):
Yeah, let's go with very good onthat.
So it's very good. It's very good, very good game.
OK. All right, let's one of my main
gripes though, is all the the things that you get, they follow
you and it's so much shit that follows you, it looks like an
enemy. Yeah.
Some. So here we go.
Very good. Tough to see what's coming at
you but the boss fights are fun and stuff and the upgrades are
great. It's a very good.
(18:44):
Game, it's a good it's a great running, running gun game.
You know, it's, it's pretty smooth, alright.
Just what do we have next? Bear with me y'all, 'cause I'm a
little buzzed. How about things?
You must be feeling it because you haven't had a drink in a
minute. I'm, I'm like, I'm like
struggling right now. Just taking my time.
Just do it very slow. Yeah.
No, I'm taking my turn, taking my time.
So I apologize for the delay. But like Usher, Yeah.
(19:10):
Getting my bearings straight here.
We have faith in you. Do we get my bearings straight?
Absolutely. Hold on.
Check out this gambit on my shoulder.
Oh my God, that is a fire ass. So there we go, little switch
technical. Camera ugly Christmas sweater.
Where did you get it from? That shit is dope.
I want to say it out loud because it's not paying us.
You only see I. I like that.
Word. That's true.
That's true. No, you're right though.
You're. Right, I just sent I sent the
(19:31):
Instagram page to. Bizarre though.
Yo, dude, I like the turn. Look at your arm.
Hold on. Let's see if you could show your
arm. Oh, the the the pixelated, the
pixel art on the gamble. That looks dope.
That looks like a Mega Man version, right?
That's dope. That's fire as fuck.
I like it. Yeah.
Woo, I'm about to make a name for myself our chair.
I think I got hold on a second. Here we go.
(19:51):
I think I got it now ready. Yes, Sir, here we go.
That's still 30X. Abathor, released June 29th,
2023, Developed by PAL. Pixel Games, published by Jan
Dusoft, available on. PS5, Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox
One, Microsoft Windows, Xbox Series X&S.
(20:14):
Yeah, Avatar, Avatar, and we allplay at Avatar.
Hell yeah, man. I.
Did not chalk, did not play it, no.
All players rostan like. Here it is, man.
Well, it's definitely better than Rostan, yeah.
Yeah, that's not even like, I mean, come on, They took
influences from a altar beasts, Rostan, all the great
(20:36):
platformers. Surprisingly, none of them were
ever four players. Yeah, until now, Yeah.
No, this game, we died horrible there.
You saw that? Yeah, that was me who just died.
That was that was embarrassing. I mean, it was a lot of this
stage was fucked up. You know what, this is a tough
one because I think, I think I know where I'm going to put it,
but not to interrupt you out. No, no, no, go ahead, because I
I need some time to think. All right, so the fact that it's
(20:59):
four players, awesome. The fact that all four
characters do their own different shit, awesome.
The fact that the soundtrack, yeah, that's the sleeper part
that to me put it over for me. Soundtrack, yeah, there's some
fuckery later on that's unnecessary in the game.
There's there's like towards theend, I'm like, there's a lot of
nonsense going on, but I would say probably 75 to 80% of the
(21:22):
game. Awesome.
Very, very awesome. I like the the they throw in a
little variety of stages, like the dolphin stage.
Yeah. And yeah, there's a lot of cool
Sega esque type shit in there. Yeah, it feels like Sega.
And it gives you gives you a little bit of a gauntlet feel
too, when you could buy items for yourself and stuff like
(21:42):
that. It's very awesome.
Little Altered beast things going on in there too.
When you could change your form.Don't worry about me falling in
that platform, but jumped into the idea that there was some
breakdown. This is one of the stages I had
a breakdown, but there's many stages.
I really enjoy the fuck out of this game.
I never thought you could do a four player Rostan that actually
works. So I'm going to say.
(22:03):
I like that you could play like everybody's different.
Yeah, that's that's that's a bigif everyone was exactly the
same, I would probably give thisa good right, But this this I
think this was a great experience for me.
I'm gonna give this as a multiplayer game.
I think this was a great game for me.
It was to me. It's on the cusp of very good
and great, but I'm gonna give ita great because the soundtrack,
(22:23):
the four player is seamless and difficulties there.
I'm a you know, there was there was fuckery on the later stages
that I didn't think makes sense that I jot it down from being
the GOAT, but I give it a give it a great, you know what?
I would, yeah. As a four player, I'd give
great, but it's close. It's like, it's like very good.
It's right there dude, that's why I said it.
(22:45):
It tilts over it because of the four player being seamless and
the music. I played it.
If I played it one player, it would be in the good category.
Yeah, right. But it's a four player.
I agree. The way they pulled it off and
this stage is where you had to do other things and rather than
just, Yep, hack and slash through it, I had some other
thing like time stages and stufflike that.
Yeah, I had a great time with it.
So yeah, I would agree with thatone.
(23:07):
Yeah, yeah. I'll go great.
I'll go great. I agree with everything I heard
so far. I can't.
Yeah, I'm like I'm you know what?
I'm gonna say very good cuz the thing that got me was the
hazards that would just randomlylike usually when you're playing
a like a platform game or an action game.
You mean the boulder that randomly dispel?
Dude, that was just one amazing.I mean, that was just one part
(23:29):
that was hilarious. But there was a lot of things
like that that just randomly happened that usually they
Telegraph before it, before it falls.
No, then they didn't really do it.
Then you bring. Up a good point.
No, there was because I'm starting to think of the gear
that was turning and that was messing up things.
But I don't want to jot it down because I'm on the I was
originally. That's the reason I needed time
(23:49):
to think and that's why I let you go first was because I was
already going to put it on the very good.
But I'm like I I want to hear what you want to say.
Like would you have to say firstto counter that I did the reason
why I gave a great because I think I feel the same way.
Sticks doesn't you do because it's teetering on very good and
great. Yeah, that's teetering.
But I think and it makes me I say to myself, was there more
(24:09):
great things or more very good things?
Yeah, and I say it's there was more great things in the game
than very good. Yeah.
OK. Artificial difficulty near the
end though, and it does that. It does hinder.
Bring it down a slight bit because it was perfect until
then, right? And then it was like, OK, you
added this weird jump in here and you can't see off the screen
and some stuff is. Especially some things that I
was like, especially that that stage where we had that, that
(24:32):
floating platform where we all had to freaking like that was
there was some difficulty crazy.I call it difficulty nonsense.
So it's weighed me a little. Too.
Yeah, no, you're right. It's.
When you have to, when you when you would rather just stay dead
and let one person out of the four players freaking go through
the stage. That's that's the one that's
usually kind of like that's where I'm like, you know what,
that's a that's something that they should.
So this game is high, very good or low grade.
(24:54):
That's that's where it is. I'm I'm going with a high very
good. You say high, very good.
I'm still going to say low grading.
It's teetering turbo. You still low grade.
No, I'm going to. I'm I'm changing the very good.
You change Al. Al brings up a good.
Point. I'm not going to fight that
because it's right there. Yeah, it's, it's it's.
It's on the. Cost.
(25:15):
Thank you, Chuck. It's not good.
It's very good. It's very good.
It's definitely great, but they it does have those things.
Which there was some nonsense, right?
I will agree. I will not fight on that.
Maybe they'll maybe they can patch it with with a update or
something. But yeah, yeah, give me wings.
I don't. Know take take away some
nonsense, just take away some shit that shouldn't have been
(25:35):
there, but yeah. There was some.
That boss, I remember the thing that was flipping around around
and we were like, we're gonna stay down here.
I'm like, yeah, that's kind of. A No.
Yeah no platform I I I get that I get that all right let's throw
that to very good Another very good, which is not it's a high
very good. That's not very good as you go
put this ahead of 30 XX yeah, I was I would put there yeah yeah
(25:56):
yeah good thing we changed the category names yeah right,
because we would have been fighting like what the fuck
dude. This is a good game.
This is a great game yo this. Chartreuse and Champagne is
hitting. Yeah, it's a fucked up
combination. Yeah, dude, it is a bad.
Yeah, like right off the jump. You know, that's also a drink
too. A little bit of truce and
champagne something. Really.
That's a drink I might experiment.
And that's a. Drink.
(26:16):
And that is a drink. It's sharp.
Oh my. Sharp pain.
Thank you. It's called sharp pain.
I like that. I like.
It we ain't getting through thistoo.
Yeah, for real, man. We're gonna do it.
We're gonna do it. Would you like to try some sharp
pain? Sounds great.
What do we have up next? Next we have.
(26:37):
Origami 2 released September 17th, 2021, Developed by
Lintzworks, Published by Lintzworks and merge games.
PS Available on PS5, Nintendo 6PS4, Xbox One, Windows, Xbox
Series X and SIM. Slightly bugged.
I love it. I love.
It no for real though, I didn't know this game was 2021 though,
(26:59):
that's crazy. That's how long we've been
playing it. We've been playing it for like 4
years. We were playing.
For a long, At least that long, yeah.
With all right, me, Kev or al, who goes first on this?
You know what I'd like to go first on this one because I'm
going to say I'm going to off the jump.
I'm going to give this a great only because I've been waiting
(27:21):
for A10 shoe game for you know since the PS2, you know since
the you know when it came out when they re released it on what
was it Xbox 360 and PS3 that whatever version that was that
was trash, that was garbage and to me the best tenshu was on PS2
and this not only does it give me the same feeling of tenshu,
(27:45):
but it builds upon that by having multiplayer three player
Co-op. They could have done 4 but three
player Co-op it, which is like far beyond, you know, the first
tension origami. I was going to say tension
origami won the first one had the two player Co-op, but for
(28:06):
the for the sequel to have threeplayer Co-op, that's already
that's already goaded right there.
It's it's good. And they pulled it off flawless.
And they they pulled it off flawless.
It's it's sad that the studios is no longer around, but yeah,
but that tension property, like,they, they really, they nailed
(28:27):
it, man. They nailed it like the stealth
and everything and they, they freaking nailed it, man.
You really feel like a ninja. Yeah, they have mystical powers
and upgrades and stuff like that.
The customization is freaking awesome.
Yeah. And the only thing I didn't care
about was the story. But besides that.
But it's like, I'm being honest,man.
The only thing I I didn't care about the story.
One I don't think any of us, so I don't know what the fuck.
(28:49):
But the but it didn't matter because the gameplay was So the
gameplay, the gameplay is so solid that it's like you don't
even care. Like you just want to get
straight to the action. You want to get to the game.
It's dope. It's dope.
Explain how. You sabotage them.
Oh God, oh man. Well.
What was the thing? It it, it, it demands
coordination between with, you know, with your partners and
(29:11):
stuff like that. But then when you're working
like a well oiled machine, it's like poetry in motion, the way
you can pull off. How many times have we pull off
synchronous a freaking assassination That's.
Beautiful, synchronized. Synchronized.
I can't, you know, synchronous proneness, you know, but.
Now it feels it's so satisfying when when everything goes
(29:32):
together. When things go together, it goes
it's, it's amazing. There's a lot, the game has a
lot of content on. The customization options are
great. It's crazy.
The upgrades, the progression, the pace, the progress, the
pacing of the progression is fine.
You know, you beat like 2 stages, you get extra point, you
can upgrade the skills you get. We both could like do skills we
don't each do and we you know, we have our own roles and stuff.
(29:55):
I'm like it's one of the best. It's the easily one of the best
ninja games that they probably ever made.
Yes, you know, it's like. Stealth ninja.
Game it. It kills the.
First one. Yeah, it kills the first one,
yes, Yeah, a great. I would give it a great it it
belongs in great, it gets that. Also the old and even even the
gripes that I have with the game, like that one stage that
you had, you could we had trouble with.
(30:16):
There was literally the whole fucking stream that we were
streaming because we couldn't kill anybody.
Like damn, whenever you wheneveryou're restrained from doing
something that you like, that's part of a gameplay mechanic.
It it always sucks. Man, it is, yeah.
But that still doesn't take awayfrom the game at all.
No, it still doesn't take away. It's literally it's just one
stage, thankfully, but the only other gripe that I would have
(30:38):
and it's not even much It doesn't take away from the my my
saying that it's a great is the the way like the town, whatever
the the hometown, whatever the hub area.
Yeah, like super confusing, super confused.
Like I wish it was more streamlined.
Yeah, I know. They kind of made it so that it
was like an open world type of hub, like a.
(30:58):
Village, you know, it's like. I get it, I get it.
They made it. It's more stylized, but it was
fucking confusing man, after a while.
So but that doesn't take away from it though.
For, for, for me, there was a lot of so ninja stuff is done.
Florida State, you guys are talking about the the skills and
(31:19):
all that stuff is pretty, prettyawesome.
Especially playing a Co-op. You don't know which team member
is going to pick what first. You're not, you know, it's not
like I'm going to pick the mesmerized first and you're
going to pick this 1st. And it also helps with strategy.
So that's always pretty dope. 10shoe, you know, it's the 10 shoe
successor. So yeah, yeah, the if anything,
(31:40):
I would have liked a little bit more.
I would have wanted more personality in life.
But as a sequel, this is a perfect sequel.
Yeah, Yeah. It just demolishes Part 1 in
every way. I don't even feel like you
shouldn't. You shouldn't even own right,
But you shouldn't even touch Part 1 ever again.
There's no reason to with this game.
Yeah, and the fact that, I mean,I want to say it's a bad thing,
(32:01):
but, you know, to have 51 fucking missions, you know what
I mean? I don't want to say it's a bad
thing. No, it's not that.
But it shows that the game is good.
The fact that we're still playing it.
Yeah, but the game kind of just dragged on.
And I I, you know, I've been like, I fuck this game.
It's too many missions, right? It's fun, but it's it's a fun
game. If you know, Mike Wright would
be more personality more, you know, there's more life to it
(32:24):
would have been great. You know, the main hub area, it
looks good, but it's like you don't really give a shit about
anything that's going on there. Yeah, same thing with the story.
But you know, pulling off some some moves in this game is
actually feels great. So yeah, I will you know, I
can't argue the the great rating.
So I will say it was it was it'sgreat.
It's a great game. Sweet.
It's a great Co-op game. Yeah.
(32:44):
What up ho? Ho, I heard you were having some
trouble lately. Hope not.
Allow me to reintroduce myself. Where are we?
Where are we putting this here? Great, great, great.
Oh dude, I don't know why I'm fucking.
I don't know why I misrape. Oh my God.
Damn, this shit. No, no, it's going in very.
I was just like, wait, man, why did I he's somehow rule all you
(33:07):
motherfuckers, dude, I had a fucking brain fart, dude.
It's up to me. This alcohol.
This alcohol is strange, man. Dude, I put a little truce in
mind. I don't know what's going to
happen after. I'm going to get the ratchet.
I got to focus. I got to focus.
Here we go. All right, so the next game is.
Army of Two The 40th Day released January 8th of 2010.
(33:32):
Old School, developed by EA Montreal.
Throwback. Zynga.
Eugene Sorry. Published by Electronic Arts
available on PSP, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Shout out to Truck for holding his composure.
Yeah, just shouting for real, man, throughout that whole shit,
like derail his shit. Sorry.
Secondly, Oh man, let's do it. I think my mind's made-up
(33:55):
already, but if you want to go first, I will.
Turbo, you played this too? So you I played it too.
Oh, you played it too? I still.
Have I still have the actual disc?
I can go first if you want, but if you get out if I played it
OK, because I'm I'm a newcomer to this game.
I I beat the we actually we played me and style played the
first game together. Remember we beat we beat that
(34:15):
game. Awesome experience, awesome.
And this one I never played. I never actually got around to
getting to this game and being somebody that's the first time
playing it. I got to say it's fucking tough,
man. This is tough as hell.
I was like, yo, this is a it's like it's freaking tough.
You gotta get used to this to say about the fucking murder.
(34:37):
Yo, remember we had to change our strategy like three times,
dude. We had like we were doing, we
do, we had to talk. We had to yeah, we're like hold
up. All right, hold up, hold up.
We literally, we literally did achapter, a stream.
That's all we got to was 1 chapter.
That was it. Like basically that's all we got
to was 1 chapter because it's sotough.
It's like you really have to strategize when you're playing
(34:59):
with someone else, when you mention this game, when you
like, if people in the chat remember CAG was in the chat.
Yeah, because he played it. When people have played this,
they. When you know, you know, yeah,
this game is something not special.
This is something special. Yeah.
This is this is really, really good.
And it and the fact, here's the thing, I I want to give this
already off the bat, I'm thinking great.
(35:21):
But the fact that you can't evenget this game digitally
anywhere, it's delisted everywhere, that's insane.
And if you don't have the the physical copy you're asked out,
you can't play it and you need an original 360 or PS3 to play
this shit. That's a shame.
So it's like, you know, unless you go in the emulation, that's
the only other way you can play this shit.
(35:41):
But they're not getting the original experience.
EA Games, it's not for sale. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's not for sale. It's not for sale.
But I got to say, you know what?I'm going to give it a I want to
give it more than the great the goat.
But yeah, fuck it. I say it's it gets a goat, it
(36:02):
gets a goat. It gets a goat, it gets a goat.
It's a must play. It's a must.
Play. Is it a because?
The thing is you can't the the thing about it is you can't play
it unless you have the physical disk or you have a fucking, you
know, like something to emulate it.
All right, I'm a piggyback off of that.
So this game, I played this withTurbo way back and I remember
(36:23):
being completely blown away by this game.
Fucking love it, obsessed with it.
I gave it one bad thing in the game that's just a little
annoying between going into the shop.
Oh, this the way you go into theshop, you have to, but I can't
deduct the point for that. Yeah, that's 'cause you could do
that at the beginning of the stage, right?
And whatever. It's just a weird way of doing
it. The game makes you get good and
the shootouts are so dope, and you kind of figure out with your
(36:46):
partner what strategy works and what gun works for you.
And the customizations are also dope.
This is probably top three thirdperson shooters I've ever
played. This is in the GOAT status,
right? I can't even, I can't even
hesitate to give this us something under GOAT status.
This is fucking phenomenal. This game.
Yeah, phenomenal. I remember the AI being vicious
(37:08):
and just completely. Dying on normal, on normal, on
fucking normal. Normal, you know.
The thing this game to get the attention.
Yeah, the aggro, I always love that.
Yes, you have to. I love it.
You have, yeah. It makes you have to use the
game mechanics in order to progress, Yeah.
You know, you can't be like, hey, I'm gonna go out there and
shoot. No, you're gonna get wrecked.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you played it one player, do
you have a computer? Yeah, to help you out, Yeah, AI
(37:31):
companion, yeah. And I think if I remember
corrupt, I thought you could switch between characters if if
you were playing one player, butmaybe not.
But it's a it's a definitely a fun game and I would put it in
the great because I haven't played it in a while.
I would have to play it again like to get a more recent.
You know, a remaster. That's why you know what The
(37:51):
funny thing is? If I didn't play it with Al
recently I probably would say great.
But it made me remember what this game is about.
I said Oh my fucking God no. This is one of the best I've
ever played. I want to play it now cuz I was
watching. I remember watching you guys
play. It's like every shootout is like
an action flip. It's intense.
The. Last one, it's so intense, you
know the building falling and that shit.
That's the best stage. That's one of the best stage.
(38:13):
I've played the 3rd, that was crazy.
Bullets flying from all angles like oh God.
I had great like set pieces and events in the game.
It was, I remember this was 40thday.
It's like this is definitely, no, it's definitely one of the
best third person shooters, definitely.
What do you give it? Oh man.
Because that's something like like, you know, Gears of War is
(38:33):
a little ahead, but you know, 40th day it's I I would give it
a great. I would I would argue the the
Gears of War really common. I would, I would, yeah, I would.
Cause the only way you get closeGears of War, it's.
Better in Gears? It's better than Gears of War 4.
Like everything is better and here's the war.
It isn't a bad game. No, it's not a bad but compared
(38:55):
to the goat. Like I was about to say, how
doesn't it go? Slow your roll.
Yeah, like, let's not get twisted, Gears of War.
It's a good game. Yeah, it's a really good. 5 just
destroys and three is better. That's fair. 5 and 3 is better.
1-2 or three are great. Here's like the I, I, you know.
Four would be better than one. Right, but as a shooter Co-op
experience, the stance is? Like this is this is one of the
(39:18):
greatest ever made does and it'sa.
Cover shooter, I'm not mad at this.
I'm I'm I'm leaning great, but I'm not mad at the GOAT because
it's definitely in the top. Yeah, I can see the top three or
top. Five and just availability for
me Yeah, availability of this game it just it's a must play
and and if you never play even finish the game, right.
(39:39):
Which if he's saying that he doesn't finish the game, that
means it has a really big impression.
Like if someone asked me I need a third person cover shooter,
This is what I would recommend. If you can get your hands on
one. Yeah.
If you can get your hands on a copy, it's like I recommend it.
But the fact that it's hard to hard to get, you know, it's
yeah. It's like a good multiplayer win
(39:59):
back. Wow leaf wow leaf wow take take
take 5 minutes take take 5 minutes let's take 5 minute
break. That's all that's all we're
asking is a 5 minute break that's.
All all right, fine. I'll be back.
Yeah, this game forces you to toto really get involved with the
mechanics and make it work like Gears 4.
(40:20):
You can play it by yourself and not have to worry about your
teammates and. See, good that for that reason
this game, yeah, right. You have to that.
That's the must. With your with.
Your, it's a must. That's why I give it the edge
cause gears, you could just go in blindly and just start
shooting. Yes, this is like we got a hat
strategize. We're outnumbered.
You can go rogue and, and we're beyond outnumbered.
We have to strategize how to take these people out.
(40:43):
They strategically made it that way too.
They, they purposely made it so you have to work together.
I love that. And you you have to figure out a
way to to. Get through.
What do you give it? I get.
I give it a go. I'll give it a go.
I give it a go. I've got a great and the great,
so that's not. Doesn't help go.
To this shit. I like, I do like the fact that
decision making, you know, when you come across AI guess a
prisoner or whatever, it's like you.
(41:04):
That's awesome. That was pretty cool.
It's like there's different outcomes for each and it's that
that was kind of. Cool.
But wait, we're we're tied rightnow.
So unless Jay didn't play it though.
Oh. Man, remember.
If I played it but it's go wow. Yeah, Jay.
Yeah, Jay, but. What I see?
Help put it over. Help put it over man.
I, I mean, I can't break the tienow, but from what I've seen
(41:26):
it's, it's up there. Is there anyone who played it in
the chat want to say whether it's great or goat?
Yeah, man. Help us, let the chat go.
Ahead, help us put it over the edge.
We got 2 greats and two goats. It's like.
It's I didn't even say shoot. I think, I think you would
change your mind if you played it recently, maybe because
that's why I was at, I was at great before I play.
It doesn't have a chainsaw gun though.
(41:47):
You need to get shot in the face.
Wow, shot in the face. I also like the fact that.
Bizarre said it's a goat. Oh, it is.
Alright, let's do it. It's a goat.
Is a goat alright? It's bizarre.
That's why. That's why he's the intern, the
first he knows. And you know, I'm not, I'm not.
(42:07):
I'm not opposed to that. That's what I'm saying.
I'm like I'm talking. A man a recent memory of it so.
Army of two the 40th day gets the go to y'all.
I but I wouldn't put it any, I wouldn't pull, I wouldn't put it
below anything, anything other than very good.
You know what I mean? Like.
It'd be it'd be impossible. No, I someone that.
Game is not just OK. You would get slapped in the
face if you said some dumb shit like.
(42:27):
That is aggressive so. The next game, only two of us
played this game. What is it?
What is it? Man, you're going to see what it
is right now. Mario Versus Donkey Kong
released on February 16th of 2024, developed and published by
Nintendo, available on Nintendo Switch, Game Boy Advance, Wii U
and Nintendo 3DS. Just switch fake on the other.
(42:53):
Side wow Sir, so. That's the old version.
That's so me, and that's a good point.
That's a good point. It's but you kind of got to give
respect to the originals at the same time, so it's OK.
You can't kind of play all the well, you got a point to the two
player mode is only exclusive tothe Switch version, so yeah.
He said y'all virgins. What was that?
Wow. He said it's only exclusive to
(43:13):
y'all virgins. You fucking mumbling?
Best I'm curious to know what Turbo has.
To say about get. It together.
This game was better than I expected, to be honest, you
know? And it's like the puzzles.
The puzzles are real. Yeah, it's just like.
No, there was, there was. Yeah.
It was like they add an extra freaking key to the whole
(43:35):
situation. You do have to do a lot of
strategize. We had to redo this with this.
Thing it reminded me of Jesus Christ.
There's some remind me a little of Gyromite, remind me a little
bit of freaking Donkey Kong Junior and Donkey Kong a little
bit if. You had a robot Donkey Kong
dropping stuff. That would be crazy.
I was, yeah. Yeah.
I was fascinated at the fact that they were able to, like,
(43:56):
modernize this type of gameplay,which was really, really good.
Yeah, it was. And after you beat the game,
there's a whole another mode where you have to, like, do
puzzles with the Mario toys on every stage.
Yeah. I was just like, Oh no, we're
not doing. That thank God we didn't do that
one. You know, be a crazy boss for
this. They actually made Donkey Kong a
donkey if he transformed into a donkey.
(44:18):
No, thank you. Imagine.
And that's why you don't make video games.
It would explain his. Name.
You know what I as dumb as that comment was, he makes a good
point. Why is he called Donkey Kong?
I forgot what? There is a reason why they
called him Donkey Kong Kong. Right?
But why donkey? I forgot why he's not a fucking
(44:40):
donkey. I remember seeing something that
was an explanation of why they called it Donkey Kong.
I can't remember. Transforming into.
AI never thought that in my entire life and I just
questioned everything in video games just now because of that.
Well, when you hear Kong, you automatically, you think because
it's the end of the name, you think, Oh my God, a king giant
ape. Not donkey Donkey Kong Kong, but
(45:00):
he's a donkey and a fucking ape.I don't freaking know.
I'm sorry. Jesus.
And. You said my comment was bad.
It was. It was a bad comment, but it
made sense at the same. Time, I would say what I'm
leaning for as far as my rating,I would say it's good.
It's a good game. Well, I say it's right.
I had a good time with it. I didn't.
I recommend it if you love puzzle games.
OK. Platformer it's good I.
(45:21):
Just found out why he's called Donkey.
Why? Why is he called?
Miyamoto used donkey to convey stubborn in English.
Oh wow, stubborn ape. Bad translation.
Stubborn as a donkey? There you go.
He's an ass. So that makes sense.
He's an ass. He's an ass.
That's right. That's funny.
For that chalk. So his name.
I knew there was an answer. Fantastic.
His name was Ass Kong I got. Bro oh man dude.
(45:44):
Dude. Bro all kinds of wrong wait.
Rate the game, let's move on. What do?
You wait, wait, wait. Diddy Kong.
Hold on. Oh, with the baby you.
Hold on a second. The baby will never finish this.
Wait a minute. Wait, finishing yo 1/5 Diddy
Kong? The whole conspiracy Diddy Kong
racing. He's freaking not.
Baby oil like let's let's. All right.
(46:06):
That's that's not the derailment.
Yeah. Alright, good, good, good.
I give it a good. I thought I was drunk.
I'm gonna say the same. Done.
Now you know you're drunk. I can't say very good.
I'm gonna give it the same the same even though I bought it.
Yeah, at full price, God damn it.
I bought it at lunch. It's.
Not a bad game, it's I. Bought it so it's a good game.
It's a good game. I like the I played originally
(46:28):
played the DS version. It was awesome on the DS.
I was one of my favorite puzzle games on the on the handheld and
when I when I heard that they were remastering it for the
Switch, I was like, oh, this is a day one purchase now.
I did. I enjoy myself.
Yeah, the game is awesome. It is awesome.
Did it blow me away? I'm like, I'm not it blowing
away, but it's a solid, tight game.
(46:48):
They they added that the Co-op element, which is dope yeah,
which wasn't in the the handheldversion of the DS version, which
is good yeah. So for that and and also they
added the new game plus with theyeah, what was it the with the
extra toys and shit? Yeah, crazy.
It was a lot of a lot of content.
A lot of content. A lot of content.
But do I am I motivated to play it like?
(47:10):
After what? We've not really no good.
Good is the rating you give a game when you beat it.
Like that was fun. I don't really want to play it
again right. Good.
Good is a solid yeah, like I I already beat the game on the DSI
beat it again on on the on the switch.
And yeah, the extra content is good, but I'm not motivated to
like go back and play. That's that's how I feel.
But you're saying this is more of a Ubisoft Mario than a
Nintendo? Oh man, damn.
(47:32):
Shots. Fired shots, fired.
Mario Rabbits was a stellar game.
Stellar, Stellar game all. Right, so we give it a good.
That's give it a good. It's getting a good man.
I should have ate more, Dude. I'm getting kind of fucked up
right now. I put it, I put it, I put a tad.
Truth. We got we got a lot OK you.
Don't want to know? Don't worry, it's 27 games
(47:52):
total. We got to be here all night.
It's the most. Games.
What's the next? Go run through them.
Quick, Yeah. What's the next?
One hold on a second, I have to set up.
We don't want to rush out because he's been drinking too.
Yes, I have. Been all right, so the next one
is. Oh.
Contra. Operation Galuga, released
February 21st, 2024, Developed by Way Forward, Published by
(48:16):
Konami. Available on PS5, Nintendo
Switch, PS4, Xbox One, Windows, Xbox Series X&S.
First off, shout out to Way Forward and shout out to Konami
for coming back. To the game, absolutely.
Sir, so thank you for. That, absolutely.
Four player Contra. Yes, old player.
I love this fucking game, dude. This game is dope.
I love this game so much. I'm so mad that I I want to get
(48:39):
it but like, I'm the Switch, youknow?
30 frames. 30 frames. There's only. 30 frames.
So I'm like, you know, we playedit on the 60 frames and Oh my
God, like. This didn't come out.
This was like, this was like, I don't think this got enough
credit. This was like a seam seamless 4
player experience. I thought this was going to be
a. Hot mess who was running around
in the flames? Well, I mean.
You thought I we all thought thesame thing.
(49:00):
We're I was cautiously optimistic because of the last
Contra game that came out. Before the fake Contra.
Yeah, the fake with the panda and the cybernetic panda Panda
panda, yeah, but no, this game tweaking right there.
This game is a. This game is awesome man.
This game is for people who lovetheir original Contra.
Yeah, super. And you know what, they they
really threw in the lore too. And I and I love the fact that
(49:23):
they threw the lore and they're like, not there is a story,
motherfuckers. Y'all gonna pay attention to
this story. And when you beat the game,
there's some story from the older games that you play too.
Just so you know, there's a fucking thing coming up.
They got the robots from the European, yo, and they had had
to have robots instead of people, yo.
That's crazy. That's a hard story.
This is all lore so much lower than that makes you pay
(49:43):
attention to the story and I never cared in.
Contract. And from Genesis too, right?
Yep. Genesis is all up in there.
Yes, it is. Yeah, and you can unlock those
Genesis characters after you beat the game and you gonna pay
the coins and whatever and they have the fucking Cal Sylvania
soundtrack up in this bitch too.Yo they Oh my God I I'm
conflicted with with from the character giving us a rating a.
(50:05):
Lot of love what it? Is this is I, you know what I
will say I, I, I, I know what I want to give it.
I'm close to two different ratings and I I might need help
with this. I am too, because the the music,
I don't, I don't remember the music.
The music was remix. The old school.
Music. Old school remix.
It was old school remix, yeah, but.
I mean, if you don't remember the new music they had, the old
music, you probably. Couldn't hear it 'cause it was a
(50:25):
lot of Yeah, I don't, I don't have a memory of the of the
soundtrack. I might have to to give it a
listen again that. Castlevania.
But no, this was but as far as the gameplay, I say they they
added a lot of lore from the from just the Contra series and
a lot of throwbacks. And look at, look at the clip
you're player, look at the. Characters play different, yeah.
So it's like. And look at the clip you're
(50:47):
showing right now, right? There's no issues for player,
right? And there's a nice gun system
where you can have two of the same and it powers it up and you
could use a special move. I especially like the fact that
with the four players, like if one person gets left behind that
they just you know, it, it doesn't hinder the just move the
person ahead right, right there.It doesn't hinder the
performance of everyone else. No, it it doesn't lag everyone
(51:08):
else behind you just. And it's still tough.
Yeah, yeah. So there.
OK, but. You can.
You can find out you know where you are.
There's a lot going on, but you still know where you are.
Boss battles variety very good. Yeah, stage has their own like
unique boss battle which is dope.
I don't remember any unnecessarydifficulty.
I remember. I remember that stage with the
crystal where everything was turning upside down.
(51:30):
You know, it's crazy. And I figured out, and I figured
out that was easy. Really.
It was just a perception. Oh, I was having a no, no, it's
actually very easy. Really.
Yeah. I didn't know 'cause I was
having a hard time. I was having a freaking hard
time. It's definitely.
Different but threw my brain on,But when it comes to those
games, that's what you have to do for it, change it.
So I like that, no. I've done anything like that.
What's up they've never done? Anything.
No, no, no, no, no. Reflections and how you.
(51:51):
It was. It was cool though.
It was cool, too much of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, alright.
Who was brave enough to give it a rating?
Because I'm not brave enough, neither mine.
I'm teetering. I'm you're in between 22.
Two, somebody still this. I put it in great.
OK, I'll put it in great. As four players like this and
how perfect it was before players and the perfect Contra
experience. I couldn't ask for more.
Why? Why not a?
(52:12):
Why not a goat in your opinion? Because there's a little bit I
can ask. No, no, why not GOAT?
Because I think they could improve on.
There were some things that theythey could have made.
More Polish that they could do Polish wise.
Like it doesn't seem like some people were saying it's a budget
title or whatever. I I wouldn't agree with that.
(52:34):
I wouldn't agree with disagree. With people who looked at it
just for what it was, it was like, ah, it looks like when
they first said it was like a Boo Boo game over some bull.
But it's definitely not. They did things the way they did
for a. Reason.
So what would you what you say? He said.
Great, but but they could Polishit more.
I think it could. I could play a better version of
it so. Well, I haven't.
We haven't played it recently sowe don't know if they patched
(52:55):
any of the issues or. Switch definitely is not.
Well, switches are young. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But but the other systems definitely gets a higher mark.
But I'd say, I would say great. You know what easily I think I I
can, I can go next because I, I,I made my decision.
I made-up my mind and the only reason why it's it's it is the
best Contra. But I.
(53:16):
Can you dispute that? No.
Super Contra is dope but it's. Not this is this is I love
Contra 3. This is better than Contra.
This is the best Contra. I love Contra.
And because, like, you could saythat, yeah, in the franchise,
it's the GOAT of Contras. You put in goat, OK.
Yeah, got a goat and a great. I knew it would come down to
this. No, I have to because I knew it
would too, just because of that stipulate.
That's why I didn't want to go for best Contra turbo.
(53:38):
I can't think of any better Contra that's true.
That metric makes Contra. I'm you know it, I was moved by
this game. I know I I'm kind of feeling
like sticks a little bit. I'm like I it deserves a go, but
this? Is one of the toughest ones I.
Feel. I feel like there can be an
improvement in this model that they've done.
(53:59):
I think they're off to a great, fantastic start with rebooting
Contra. I think they can put more money.
Watch some drop. Watch some drop of DLC tomorrow.
Yeah, change everybody's, really.
Bad. Even the secret characters,
they're all different and they all play different and it's
really, really cool. I like the two gun system.
I like you know, using special and wasting the freaking using a
(54:21):
special on each gun and. Save your weapon if you get
killed. Yeah, save it if you get killed
in the customization option. I just realized something that
was annoying. To me, but I feel great.
This is where I got to go with it, you know?
I feel like, yeah, I feel that. Yeah, well, you know what?
I just thought of the storyline thing, the way they did the the
dialogue. Yeah, even though it's not on
(54:43):
the tier list. Iron Meat.
Yeah, Pause. I played that game.
Damn, I played that game. That's awesome.
And that's an awesome. It's a Contra light game.
It's an awesome game. But one thing I liked about Iron
Meat Pause was the fact that thestoryline was told without
(55:04):
dialogue and it was easy to understand.
And Contra did it with dialogue and it kind of throws, it kind
of throws off the pacing of the action, but they do.
Have years you? Have to wait through the cut,
cut scenes to go, you know what I mean?
Like if you played, if you played the other game, you know
what I'm talking about because it's hard to describe it.
But they gotta do is say aliens.Shoot, I think it's more of a a
(55:26):
personal thing that you like better.
Because I wouldn't, I wouldn't want Contra told like that.
And I never cared about Contra'sstory, right?
But I actually cared this time. Everything is something like
Metal Slug. They also didn't have words to
just see what's going on. Yeah.
But it's like a personal it's a personal part.
I prefer that storytelling in anaction game versus a a
full-fledged like dialogue. But I still keep, I still keep
(55:49):
it in the IT doesn't take it doesn't take from the damn game.
What would you give it? I said good.
I said originally goat. Goat.
OK. Yeah, OK.
OK, all right, so I would. All right, Yeah, obviously best
Contra game. That's not even debatable.
It made the story, the the action cutscenes maybe actually
give a damn and maybe try to remember old lore, extra stuff
(56:14):
at the end of the game, awesome boss fights, dope music, amazing
4 player experience, amazing newthings that they added to the
mechanics in terms of the weapons, amazing.
The takeaways or the nitpicks that I can have don't sway me
enough to say that you know no, I give this one of the best
(56:36):
Co-op experiences I've had for the year.
It gets a goat. OK, it gets a goat.
I'm not mad at yeah. That's the thing I'm not mad at.
Either 'cause it took it took Contra and made it more than
Contra. Yeah, for me, exceeded
expectations. It's definitely a.
Revival, I would have never guessed Contra four players
could work. Yeah.
In a million years. I would be like, no, that's just
ambitious thinking. No, they made it work.
They made that shit work and made it better.
(56:57):
And I I yeah, that was yeah, I'mpissed I didn't play it again.
That's that's how it makes me. Feel.
Yeah, so. And yeah, this game could only
teeter between goat and great. Yeah, Yeah.
But I give it a goat because I can't find anything wrong.
Yeah, I can't find anything wrong that I was upset about.
They took things from other Contra games and they added it
(57:18):
to it. So.
So far, So far in the goat tier involves guns.
Wow. No, No, But it's tied.
It's tied, right. It's, I think Coco.
Great. Great.
Yeah, Shark never played it right, so we need to chat.
Okay, we need to chat. Goat or great.
Yeah. Come on.
Or great. Who?
Who's played Contra Galuga? Contra Galuga?
(57:42):
Yeah, it's Galuga Kev, not Galaga.
You love saying it's Contra Galaga.
Galaga be fucking up that I remember when who was it Steve
Steve was a was that was that his name the the developer.
For what? Contract for.
Contract no for OK for what? No, no, no.
Developer was Tom. That was Tom.
Yeah. Tom.
OK, my bad for messing up the man.
I remember he kept correcting Charles.
(58:03):
Tom, he's like, it's Kaluga, man.
Yeah, yeah, you are buzzed. I was like, yeah.
I was like Tom. He's like you're.
Not to break it, it's I, I'm notarguing with it being if that's
where it's got to go, I don't mind it being there because it
is the greatest Contra that's been made.
Yeah, OK. He said flip a coin.
No, for that, for that reason. That's the only reason why I say
(58:25):
that, because I can't think of abetter Contra.
So that's the only reason why I put it.
And and anything that I think about negatively about that
game, it doesn't hold up. Yeah, those my those comments
wouldn't hold up in terms of knocking it down a peg.
So yeah, I gotta give it a go. All right.
OK, so we're going to give it a go.
Are we OK with that? I'm OK with it.
(58:46):
And after I after I put this goat status up.
Oh yeah. Just to let you guys know.
Oh. I should go in front.
Yes, I. I don't know you know what I I
don't know about that. I I kind of put it put it behind
for real. Yeah, no, I like it.
I like it behind just for now. Just for now, because I was
looking at it like, wait, just for now it's.
(59:07):
Fine, it's up there. It's up for now.
It's up there. Wow.
All right, the shooters so far, shooters are there.
Yeah, Speaking of shooters, man,we got that shooting.
You know, Marvel Rivals, that's coming up.
It's one of the most players we played this year.
So Speaking of that. But yeah, that's one of those
games, right? Yeah, man.
Yeah. You have a watch out for Marvel
Rivals, too. So, Stallion, I know this last
(59:27):
game we were playing Marvel Rivals.
Hawkeye was on point. Yes, yes, Marvel.
The reason why I love Marvel Rivals so much is because the
importance of the cohesive team that you put together and the
focus it takes to use Hawkeye. It's it's, it's awesome,
especially when you play very, very well with that character.
Speaking of focus, have you tried that magic mind yet?
(59:50):
Yes I have, I'm glad you asked about it.
I tried it out. I wasn't sure what to think
about at first but a lot of people know that I do part 10
and I recently switched jobs andwhen you part 10 you have to
learn. A lot of the ingredients in
cocktails and when you're transitioning between two jobs,
you can kind of mix up the cocktails.
But for me personally, I'm more of a trial by fire.
(01:00:14):
I got to get thrown to the wolves to learn cocktails a lot
quicker at the new place. They didn't like that.
They wanted me to learn, you know, tell me what's in this.
Tell me what's in this drink. How many ounces?
And that's not really how I learned.
When I start taking this stuff by like the second day of
training, I start picking it up a lot quicker.
There's like 12 or 13 cocktails I had to learn and I picked up,
picked up pretty, pretty fast. And I was like, wow, I don't
(01:00:36):
really need to get thrown to thewolves, even though I did the
day after I got thrown to the wolves when we got very busy at
the job. But I was a lot more quicker and
the manager was a lot more shocked like, oh, day one and
day 2 are completely different. So the stuff works.
I like it a lot. I'm gonna continue to use it.
I know Al had a an experience aswell.
I remember you saying in the group chat, you're like, I don't
(01:00:56):
know what's going on, but I don't know why I'm in a good
mood today. I was more talkative.
I was more, I don't sometimes I'm not in the mood to talk to.
You got me intrigued. I was like, yo, what the hell?
He's like, I don't know what's going on.
I'm like, and I'm like, is that because you were taking the
magic mind? And then I started taking it and
then I started noticing the effects.
I play Tetris competitively, so you have to get in a focus state
(01:01:19):
when you're playing that game. And it's like, I found myself
like I you, you're not getting angry as much, you know, I'm
just like, whatever, I'll get inthe next round, you know, like
before I was just like, Oh my God, man, you get you get heated
angry, you want to take control in.
But definitely notice a difference, especially when I
stopped taking it, that's when Ireally noticed the difference.
(01:01:42):
I'm like, wow, this really does change your mood.
It really does. And it's a, it's not like a,
like a, like a energy drink typeof energy.
It's like a, it's a calm energy.Yeah, they say calm energy.
And I'm like, what? What is calm energy?
And I'm like, oh, I know the calm energy.
I'm like, I know what it is. It's one of those things you
have to, you have to try it to, to understand.
(01:02:04):
But yeah, no, I'm totally happy with it, man.
Speaking of energy drinks, I gotto get up early for my job super
early. I'm not a morning person, so
every day I would get an energy drink and I'm like, yo, I got to
I got to wean myself off this because the crash and the sugar.
Sugar is crazy. Because every day I can't do
that. So when I heard you talking
(01:02:25):
about, you know, magic, man, I was like, that sounds like
something I could do. So I did start.
I did. I did take that.
And you know what it does? I didn't need the energy drink
anymore because it did it. It made me more focused because
in the morning I had like, my mind was cloudy.
I would be like a zombie until like 2:00.
I know that and I'm like. Alright, that's like me in the
(01:02:46):
morning. So I took the shot quick.
You know, it got rid of that completely.
Yeah, it really did. And I, you know, I was
skeptical. I was like this is does this
really do it? I thought the same thing, yeah,
but. As you get through the day, I'm
like, yo, I can really think now.
It did. It did help and it's quick.
Mental clarity, yeah, that's very, very important, especially
doing any job and playing video games.
(01:03:08):
Yeah, mental clarity is very, very and calm energy so you
don't throw your controller especially gone, but yeah.
There was no crash or nothing, it was great.
Might have to try that when I play multiverses.
Yeah, I. Tried it for the whole week.
Right. Yeah, you can gradually tell
easily. Yeah, this is.
No, you notice right away. Yeah, and you notice when you
stop. So I noticed, especially when I
(01:03:30):
when I stopped, I was just like,oh man.
Like it was like all like, like it's just getting in my head,
man. When you're conversating with
people, you're like, yo, I can, I'm actually back and forth for.
This Yeah. It's like I didn't want to talk
to you before. I actually enjoy the
conversation I'm having. With you, you know, yeah.
That's too funny. I definitely need to start a
regimen of this. I'd recommend it.
(01:03:52):
All that sounds very interestingand if anybody would like to
give it a shot, you could check out the link below magicmind.com
slash level 20 and you can give it a shot yourself and let us
know what you think A. Shot, I see what you did, yeah.
That. Was good, but we have more
shots. Yeah, was this the time to pull
up a drink? I'm actually afraid to have
(01:04:15):
this. Oh God, I mean.
It's only going to make the showmore interesting.
Well. Then let's go guys, let me know
if you can hear the sound effects.
I made the adjustments so give me a heads up.
Y'all ready? Sure.
Go ahead. Are you guys not doing the shots
all right? Never mind.
Wait until your sound effect I'm.
(01:04:36):
Playing the. Sound effect.
I'm going to play the sound effect after you do the shots.
I'm sorry, I should have sort ofexplained that.
Drake them and got them guys drink responsibly and.
Cheers everybody. Happy holidays.
Cheers all right, let me know ify'all here.
(01:04:56):
That's going to be, that's goingto be the end.
You heard that. That's going to be the end.
That's the beginning of the end.That's yeah, that's.
All right, so we got through sixgames on the tier list and we
got we got 27 games total. Yeah, we ain't finishing.
No, we need to finish the. Show we'll finish.
We'll finish. We need to talk fast.
So we got to do some rapid, rapid fire freaking the birds.
(01:05:18):
Tupac style. All right, so the next game.
Curse of the Sea Rats Released April 6th, 2023.
Developed by Platoon Studio. Published by P Cube.
Available on PS5, Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, Windows,
Xbox Series X&S. This was the Q.
Wow, I didn't know it was PQ. PQ.
(01:05:41):
Let me say this game is fire. It needed a little bit more time
in the oven. And I saw it four months.
It needed to. Cook it needed a little IK a
little bit more Polish, just Polish, but it was a fun game.
I'm going to go ahead and give it a good.
(01:06:02):
Yeah, like you don't really see too many 4 player Metroidvanias,
but this had good upgrades. Store was pretty decent.
Yeah, there was some points where it was just like, you
know, the collision detection and you're just getting hit by
some random stuff that you can'treally see, which kind of knocks
it down. I would say good.
Yeah, I'm going to give a good. Combat was good, art was great,
(01:06:25):
the gameplay was fine. I would say what brings us down
to a good for me is, like you said, collision detection and
the storyline, the dialogue. The dialogue brings it way down
for me because I wasn't feeling any of the story and any of the
voice acting. I just wanted to skip it all,
which we did, but what we couldn't, I was, I was
(01:06:48):
infuriated. So the game, the game is fun,
both players is great. It looks astounding, but like
you said it should, it needed some time to cook and I wish
that the writing was a bit better.
I just, and I just got to say one more thing just to further
elaborate on the collision detection.
When we say collision detection,if you bump into an enemy and
you get hit. That's their means of attack.
(01:07:10):
That is no bueno. Yeah, that kind.
Of that's like 8 bit days. That's what they did in the 8
bit days. That's Mega Man.
And that, yeah, that shouldn't, that shouldn't.
Mega Man 123. This game potentially could have
been very no, it could have potentially been great or GOAT
status. If those things were fixed like
there were there were so many like like you guys were saying,
a game looks beautiful, looks beautiful.
(01:07:32):
Combat is awesome. I love the combat.
I think combat's very dope. There's some unnecessary
platforming. There's a thing where if you
leave one of your characters offthe screen for a bit, there's a
timer that comes on and when that timer goes off, your
character is dead because he can't get back on the screen.
That is that's a that's a bad thing to have in the game.
(01:07:53):
Also, what you guys brought up with walking in the enemies that
hurts. Also, boss fights were cool.
I enjoyed the the boss fights. The item shops were cool.
The music is good. Could have been better.
More combat music would have been appreciative.
Yeah. The background to me.
Yeah. Yeah, it was.
It was more chill, relaxing whenit could have been.
Yeah. But it was chill.
It it should have had different types of music to kind of when
(01:08:16):
Oh my God combats come in and you hear some epic ass track.
Remember, no boss music or. Anything exactly that's that's
that's that also is a is a problem.
Same thing about what you said about the voice acting and story
could have been awesome. That have been really good.
I think a lot. They try too hard to be funny.
And it left you more angry. Yeah, Yeah.
And I would even go and it's messed up too, because I want to
(01:08:36):
give this a very good. But all those things knock it
down to a good. I really, I really want to give
it a very good. But those things?
Which have been playing it. Yeah, I definitely reckon.
I think it's a fun. It's a fun game.
I give it a man. Let me stop.
I didn't even play it. I didn't play it.
I'm joking. I'm joking.
I like this game a lot. I had a great time with it, but
(01:08:58):
yeah, those things just kind of like.
Light aside, missions we didn't really understand because we
didn't care about this. Exactly, that's that's the thing
and I think needed this and I think a lot of you can agree to
this is when you have a good rhythm of enjoying it.
There was always something that kind of slow it down and that's
that was either the like. Dancing.
Singing. Or no, it would either be the
(01:09:18):
person off the screen killing you or, you know, you get killed
off the timer or walking into somebody or someone throwing a
rock at you, taking away 1/3 of your energy, you know, so yeah,
yeah, yeah. Those little things added up and
it knocked it down a couple of pegs.
I'm telling you, potentially could have been great to close
to goat status, but it gets a good.
(01:09:40):
It gets a good. And unnecessary.
It gets a high good all right. It's.
Necessary platforming. What's I bring too?
Yeah, I agree with that too. Unnecessary.
It gets a high good turbo. You want to add anything so or
you wanted to stare at? No, we're putting this over,
Jeff said. No, no, we put in this behind
her, in front of Mario Vertachi.Jesus.
You can put it in front. You can put it in front.
(01:10:01):
Put it in front you. Can put in front.
Put in front of Mario. Yo, I think Turbo's feeling it.
Real. Real.
I can tell by his eyes. Yo, he's feeling this, Christ,
he's feeling it. No man, I'm good.
No, I got nothing to add but I already said.
Wow. I was the next.
I wasn't. Alright, that was good.
Hold on a second. I think that's properly.
I'm not mad about that. Can I speak Double Dragon guided

Yeah, No. Well, we can still laugh at you.
Yeah. You get props, you get props.
I am lit. So did you guide him?
This is dope. I mean, this is not he.
Said he said this you got. The Dragon Guide.
Wow OK help this man it was a weird.
Title. It was a weird title.
That's the name. Is.
Dragon guidance. I think that all right, I'll
(01:11:07):
start OK, because I might know what you guys are going to say.
When we did the double dragon tier list, this was on the top
this as a double dragon game, this as a rogue light game, this
as a beat em up game is fuck dude like I can't like I can't
(01:11:28):
What do you want me to fucking say?
Like it's just it's so fucking fun.
It's so fun. It took the double dragon IP,
made it so awesome, brought backold characters in the DLC.
The hits feel great, has a lot of nostalgia in there, added new
characters to it. It's just fucking cool.
The music remix. I mean, shit, man, this was way.
(01:11:50):
I you know, the chibi look was my first complaint.
I said all right, it's double dragon, I'll fucking buy it,
whatever. I don't even care anymore about
the chibi shit. I don't even care.
It's the same shit with Battle Toads.
I was like, I don't know about that look.
All right, this game is fired. No, this is fucking goat, man.
I have nothing else to say. Let's see.
OK, I like it a lot. It's a great game, you know,
(01:12:12):
trying to say if it gets a goat,it's it's a high quality beat
them up. It's better than you know, it
should be for a rogue like. But does it go in the goat?
I do return to it often though. Yeah, probably.
OK, Goat. What the shit was that?
(01:12:33):
Kev said. You know what I said, I don't
know, Kev said. Listen, I'm drunk.
I don't know. I don't know if I could give
this a go, but I can't think of a reason not to.
So it's a goat. Yeah, I was going to go very
good, but I'm just like, no, I kind of go to it a lot and it's
just like I'm trying to think ofsomething.
It's like. I'm trying to turn it down a
pic. I'm not trying to.
There's no reason. There's zero reason.
Well, this is like one of the one of the reasons like Rogue
(01:12:54):
light, I don't like, I don't like rogue light.
This is the one game where roguelight is like, oh, this makes
this awesome. I'm jumping.
Back in, there's a few there's afew rogue light games that.
There for me, I don't like the the the premise.
I'm a Rd. Lightning and the cool I don't
like it is. And the cool thing is you.
When you choose the third person, the face, the stage
(01:13:14):
changes. Yeah, that's the so, that's the
so you could. It's different every fucking
time. But it feels like it does feel
like it's different every time. It does.
It's a beat em up and I've neverreally felt that.
And I beat em up. Yeah, yeah.
And when I first saw this, I waslike, I don't know you.
Can play. I'm a double dragon fan.
I'm like what is this? But when I played it, I was
like, it's this is definitely like all the characters, the
(01:13:36):
music, the combos, the juggling,like all of it.
It feels good. It's in the it's perfect.
It's perfectly done. I can't complain about anything
in the game. Yeah, it's like.
Gotten to the whole thing yet because it's still difficult
when you get further in. And The funny thing is, I've
every time we bring this game upright, and I and I feel bad
feeling this way, it's because of the chibi look.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I always feel like knocking it
(01:13:56):
down a peg, but I can't. I can't do it.
Like you think you think you would.
That's so. But I can't.
I can't. It's so.
Fun that you just don't. Want.
That's when you. It's a lot of fun.
It's like you let it go through it as a great combat system.
It's like, it seems simple, but it's deep and it's like every
time you unlock a new character and you get, it's like it's and
it's. Awesome.
(01:14:17):
But I mean, listen, it's funny. It's it's very funny.
If they did redesign them and make them look cooler, I'll be
like oh this is definitely perfect, but it's still perfect.
That's it's alright, fine, go with it.
That's yeah, it's there's no. Choice.
It's still. No, as I beat him up, it's a go
to. Beat up.
I can't sit here and give give this lower than goat status.
Yeah, for a multiplayer. It did perfect.
What we got next doing? That he's.
(01:14:39):
Going Oh boy, here we go. We're going to go.
One second we're. Going real quick, Kev said.
We're going. We're going real quick.
Kev, I don't know if Kev's goingto make a new pocket.
We have elevator action returns as tribute.
You moved it to goat? What?
Yeah, he was. He.
He put it in goat, Yes. So this elevator action returns
S tribute. Yes, Saturn tribute.
(01:15:00):
OK released November 30th, 2022.Developed and published by City
Connection and Taido. Taido available on Nintendo
Switch, PS4, Xbox One, MicrosoftWindows Arcade and Sega Saturn.
That's crazy. That's where all those systems I
did not know. That it's so funny.
I didn't even know Variety. I didn't even know this was a
game. I honestly didn't know.
(01:15:21):
And I looked at a video. I said, oh, this is the thing I
was the one I told you about. Yeah.
I was like, I brought it to you.I brought it to your attention
'cause this was only on the Saturn at at one point and they
ported it to everything else. Yeah, it's like the most power
setting this. Was fun.
It was arcade fun. It was super arcade, man.
It's very arcade. It had the arcade difficulty.
Yeah. If we had quarters, we'd be
broke. Oh, we, we, we would be probably
(01:15:43):
have to spend like $70.00 on this game.
It was cheap. It was arcade cheap, but quick
though. It was fun.
Yeah, it wasn't. We did in the stream.
It was a fun game. It was fun.
Was it better than all the otherelevator?
What other elevator actions? What the fuck are you talking
about? They said all the all the other.
Yeah, they had a Series 1. Like two more before this was
like. There's one more.
(01:16:03):
There wasn't elevator action. I don't really have too much to
say other than it it gave me Sega vibes with the music.
The music was very relaxing. This is Rolling Thunder.
It was Rolling Thunder slash zillion techno cop.
It had it's it had it's old school charm, which I always
appreciate. I always appreciate the old
school term. It's good.
I'll give it a good. I I agree.
(01:16:24):
Give it a good. I agree.
I can't get it. I can't see it getting anything
higher than a good because or lower.
I don't think it's OK because wehad fun.
Yeah, we had fun. It was a fun game.
It was totally fun. It was just it was a it was a
yeah. It was a mindless arcade, 100%
arcade. Yeah.
You know, like through and through.
Like it's a port of the arcade. I would throw it in now and play
(01:16:44):
a stage. You know, like I get thrown in
for a stage. You know, so good.
I would put it in Good. Yeah.
Back in the list. Good.
Entertaining. Yeah, This.
Is fun. I'm intrigued to play it.
It's it's. I recommend you know if you like
the elevator action. By the look of.
It shout out to Boog I know he love him some elevator action
you know like this is good this is fun.
I had a good time with it. They I never knew it.
You could do so much for 10 bucks.
(01:17:05):
Maybe, yeah, maybe 799. Like 8 bucks.
But to think of elevated action,you could do that much with it.
I was pretty surprised and depressed, so that's cool.
Still, still can't figure out ifthe third character's a dude or
a girl, but move on. I don't know.
Either a controversy. It's that drawing the way that
arts. I don't know. 90s chick or bitch
man. Yeah.
(01:17:25):
Yeah. Damn bro.
I don't know sure. Well, that's so that's.
The next. Game all right.

Interactive. Available on Nintendo Switch,
Geoforce Now, and Microsoft Windows.
You can buy games just for Geosoft.
I mean Geosoft Geoforce now. Wow, Geosoft.
I thought it was like a rental thing.
No, it's they have games built in like and they have free games
(01:18:08):
on GeForce now. But it's fun.
This game is super fun man. It it reminds me of Conan Chop
chop again. We were saying before, not a fan
of roguelike games. Really not a fan but.
Show up a lot. Though, but we've played a bunch
for for a roguelike game and a multiplayer rogue like at that,
(01:18:28):
this is pretty damn fun. In fact, I forgot a lot of this
stuff that I'm watching now, watching the gameplay.
I wanna go back and play it. Yeah, I wanna go back and play
it. I've always been pissed that we
didn't. We only played this one time.
Yeah, it's very clean. Extremely clean combat.
Dope. The fact that you could switch
as you unlock the weapons, yes. You know, you could choose bow.
(01:18:51):
A sword was a scythe. Yeah.
Staff. The staff, yeah.
So you could do different strategies with that.
Boss fights were pretty dope too.
Yeah, definitely one of the better, cleaner Rogue light
games that we played. Obviously, I wanted to play more
of this. We didn't have any issues with
the right with playing this. We didn't have any like glitches
or anything like we usually get when we do multiplayer.
(01:19:13):
Yeah. This was pretty seamless.
Yeah, it was pretty seamless. It's just right.
It's just a game that's just right in your face.
It is what it is. This is what the game has.
And yeah, you know, have fun. Pretty much, yeah.
I would give this, even though Ionly play it one time, I give it
a very good. I thought this was a very good
experience. I don't, I think good for me is
too low because it did everything it was supposed to
(01:19:35):
the right way. And I think this was a very good
experience. Potential for hire.
But yeah, off the one playthrough, it was a very good
I it was fun. I can agree with that.
I'd have to play it again to to really get my rating.
I'd say, yeah, this is a very good, very good.
The level of customization, yeah, I would say very good.
Yeah, same, same. As a Zelda fan.
(01:19:58):
As a Zelda fan, that top. Down good, Turbo with the very
good. He's usually here with the
negativity. I am no, because good is just
like it's like, OK, it wasn't like it didn't blow me away, but
I'm not you know, like I'm, you know, I didn't waste my time.
This was not. I like fun.
I like getting the extra freaking weapons and then
getting those weapons going through again, fighting
different mini bosses. Yeah, four players, 60 frames.
(01:20:20):
It looks smooth, very smooth. Yeah, You know, it's just it was
a fun time. So I was like, no, very good.
As I said, to add to that real fast is everyone starts off with
a sword, right? And you play a certain way, but
as you continue to play, someonemight want to do long range.
Yeah, so you get a bow and arrowand then you get more strategy.
Yes. And I like that.
That's why it goes from good to very good today.
And I like the fact that, you know, with for a rogue like
(01:20:42):
game, I like the fact that you get stuff that's permanent that
you carry over to the next game.The next play through.
Which is dope. Hassled.
Stop playing. Yeah, it's it's a piece of
garbage. You don't do that.
Yeah, but otherwise you have to play it from the beginning with
nothing. Definitely very good.
Definitely. I think that's the appropriate
rating for that game. OK, throw it in.
Very good. Throw this in.
(01:21:02):
I've got to play that one I didn't play.
That one. That's good.
You'll like it. You would like Yeah.
Yeah, you would definitely like it.
You like Conan? Chop, chop.
So you. Like this?
So you would like this very similar all.
Right, there we go. What's next?
Next we got and I think we can all talk about this one.
(01:21:23):
Fall Guys Ultimate Knockout released August 4th, 2020,
Developed by Media Tonic, Published by Devolver Digital,
Epic Games, available on Nintendo Switch, PS5PS4, Xbox
Series X&S, Android and Microsoft Windows.
We're just getting out during the pandemic.
Hey, listen, yeah, I just want to say before we even get
started with ratings, we won thegold twice, baby.
(01:21:46):
We won the gold twice. And I think this is the one.
I think this is the one. I think.
Listen, our tactics, yo, that shit translates to today, bitch.
We're fucking grimy, damn it. We're from the 90s.
Remember how we won? We, we did the, we just, I
grabbed onto the Yeah, we just kamikaze one person standing.
We want sacrifices, dude. That shit was amazing.
(01:22:08):
That was, that was the funnest fucking stream, dude, that our
tactics were so sleazy and fucking loving.
It's so grimy, super sleazy, man.
That's. Definitely a reason why Super
Game is as popular as it is. Yeah man, they added a lot of
stuff. Because I played it earlier and
I didn't see any of these games.They added a bunch of stuff.
This was a good time change. Now that's the thing about free
(01:22:29):
to play games, they they evolve over time.
So I'm sure they have tons of new levels and tons of new stuff
man. It's like, it's like a game
show. It's crazy.
I I I thoroughly enjoyed this game.
I'm you know, I'm gonna say thisis great.
This was a fun. This is great.
This is great. I'm not even going front.
It was a fun time. Yeah.
When we got back to we're not gonna get gold again.
(01:22:49):
Then we got gold back. Yeah.
You. Yeah.
The feeling you get. Yeah, it was just like, it was
like just, you know, bunch of old cats playing a modern game
and being like, fuck you guys, we can do this shit.
It was so fun to me, man. I I had a great time with it.
I'd say I'll give it great, man.Yeah.
You wouldn't think we'd get a gold in it.
Yeah, he is. I didn't think it was going to
happen. I remember the last dive I was
(01:23:10):
like, you know, I got. To stay, I got to stay alive.
Yeah, and we did it. That was still it was it was a
fun experience and I want to give it lower than great, but I
can't really give because I had a fun experience with it man.
It reminded me like Nickelodeon like.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was some oh, double dare Yeah, something.
Stupid like. That it was some dumb shit, but
it was fun and it's. Always fun.
(01:23:31):
But it's like, I like how each one of us individually, like,
I'm not having a good round. Yeah.
And yeah, I have to carry this. And each one of us would step
up. And then when it took us to the
finals and then we just did somegrimy shit to get that win.
I fucking love that that to be I'll be 1000% honest, that was
one of my favorite moments of the year.
Yeah. And, and, and oh, that was
(01:23:53):
multiplayer because it was just,I was up there.
I didn't think we would make it to the end.
And the fact that we resorted tothe grimy shit that we resorted
to, I loved it. I just remember that last game
too. It was like over a was it over
in the sky or something? It was like over a pit or
something like that. And Oh yeah.
And I just remember we all fucking dude.
We just, I just grabbed the guy.You did 1 jumped over, you did
(01:24:14):
1. And I did one where I'm like
kamikaze. Hope y'all win.
Yeah, taking this deal with me. Damn.
Yo, that's all we want, man. This is crazy sleazy.
I think it was like Jay was staying on the platform like
stand the platforms. I got this platform, we got it.
Hold on. It was a.
Guaranteed fun time. It was a guaranteed.
Oh man. Yeah, I give it a great.
(01:24:36):
I give it a great. That was that was a fun time.
Yeah, greatest fun, great works.Yeah, I was going to.
Be very good, but I was like. And it was, though that stream
particular bumped it up to a that's.
My all time great it. Was a great.
Game hell yeah and we did 2 golds.
We did two golds bro. That's crazy.
That was dope. I was like, fuck this game,
we're done. Yeah.
(01:24:59):
I mean, we were having a rough time.
It's a high grade. I know we lost a bunch, we have
a rough time we love, but when we we had a clicking, that shit
was awesome. It's like poetry, emotion.
Yeah, I was a fan of a live service game like that.
It'd be like GOAT, but right, you know?
Yeah, I can't jump into live service like.
Nah, Nah, Nah. But the fact that we jumped in
there, got a gold dog. Yeah, two.
Yeah, it was. Fucking.
Crazy. It wasn't back-to-back, was it?
(01:25:22):
No. All right, I think we we got it.
We lost one or two and. Then.
We lost like first round. After that, I think it took us
two more. All right.
What do we got next? Fire Emblem Warriors 3 Hopes,
released June 24th, 2022, developed by Intelligence
Systems and a Mega Force, published by Koei Tecmo and
(01:25:43):
Nintendo. Available on the Nintendo
Switch. Turbo, you want to go first?
You want me to go? Didn't go.
First turbos like I could barelyfall more there.
You go first, so. This game takes everything from
obviously 3 houses makes into a dynasty warriors game.
Does the battles epic? Is this the second Fire Emblem
(01:26:05):
dynasty Warriors? Yeah, yes, second one.
And it kind of changes the storya bit, which is cool.
It changes the story a bit and it actually has people who are
at each other's throats work together, which is actually
cool. Gives you.
It's not candy. Right.
No. I don't think so, No, no, you
would think so. Like I always say that like like
the the the way they change the story in some of these.
Like I think it's. Like ultra universe multiverse
(01:26:28):
or some shit, but done well, remixed music, new music,
battles, a variety of shit you can do.
I didn't even think they would even go this far in terms of a
game like this. Still playing it.
Actually, we, me and Turbo haven't even beat it yet.
Yeah, it's one of those games that's just been going on for a
while, but, you know, not to make this, you know, drawn out
(01:26:50):
long pause. But I would probably, I would
give it a great right now. I'll give it a I'll do it.
It's great. It's a great game.
OK. I would have to probably give it
the same. It is a great game and I look
forward to playing it. And it's it's better than the
first. The first one was really good,
Really, really good. I was impressed the first one a
lot. And you know, they just amped it
(01:27:12):
up a little bit more. They got more combat options and
stuff like that. And it's got the Three Houses
story, which is a great story, but it's a little bit modified
for this. It's it's, it's really good.
It's it's tight. It's a long game.
It's we've been playing this thing for a while, but yeah, I,
I, I can't give it. I was thinking either very good
or great, but it's like it's it's great.
(01:27:33):
It's it's definitely one of the best Warriors games.
I think that's. Coming It's almost like you're
playing Three Houses, but in theform of a Warriors game.
Exactly. It's it's like I feel like it's
going to be a 40 hour game. It's a long game, it's a long
game, but it plays. It plays solid.
I don't have complaints about the game.
It's it's awesome. So it's great.
(01:27:54):
I'll give. It would be great, Yeah, Give it
a great. Let's go to great, you know
you're here. It would be GOAT if it was four
players. I'm like, we're still, I'm like,
wow, it's 2024 and we're still playing this game.
We got to play something that's kind of trash soon.
No, we don't actually. We don't have to play trash
games unless someone gives us a game.
And it's like, but I don't want to put someone's game on blast.
(01:28:14):
So I'd feel, yeah, man, we don'tdo that.
Everything above OK. I'm sorry we took that.
Great games. In there.
Man, that's crazy. What?
Do we have next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade Wrath of
the Mutants released April 23rd,2024, developed by Raw Thrills
and Cradle Games, published by Game Mill Entertainment.
Available on the Nintendo Switch, PS5PS4, Xbox One,
(01:28:38):
Windows, Xbox Series X and SI. Can make this one quick for me.
Oh, go ahead, 6. I'm going to put this and the
OK. OK.
That's where it belongs. Yo.
Hey. Yo.
Do we do we do that also for theturtles tier?
Do we get us OK as well? I.
(01:28:58):
Think this goes right there it. Goes I'll second chase right
quick. I felt this was, it wasn't like,
oh, it's not a bad game or anything like that, but compared
to all the Turtles games I played you.
Know it was OK. If I died and didn't play this
game, I wouldn't say damn, I wish I played meetings OK.
I would. I wouldn't say it.
Dying request. Wow.
(01:29:18):
If I was to play it before, if Iwas on my deathbed, like, you
know, you played every Turtles game but this one and I knew of
the quality of like, you know, it's OK, I can die, it's fine.
Wow, dude. Wow.
But it's like, wow, it wasn't. No, that was die.
He makes a regular rating. You sound so fucked up.
Yeah. I I give it OK.
(01:29:40):
He's like I'm good to die. Yeah, it hurts you like it's it
almost gets a meh, but it's likeit's so no, it's wow, it's not
like we did enjoy. I I enjoyed the four player
playing. I didn't I didn't hate exactly.
We didn't hate playing it. OK, but it just wasn't like, you
know, there's just so many bird turtles games, you know?
So so 2 okays. Cool, would it be?
(01:30:00):
So you got spoiled by shredders Avenge.
Don't need to play. I got spoiled by Hyperstone
Heist. Alright, alright, I got spoiled.
By hold on, let me let me go next.
Go ahead. I'm going to say yeah, I
disagree with that. Yeah.
It sounds like he was giving it the worst rating in the world.
I really did. I totally disagree with that.
Trash it and say it's OK. Yeah, I'm not going to say it's
(01:30:22):
very good, but I'm going to say it's good.
It was a good game because it was a competent game.
There was no glitches or anything like that.
That we don't that we that we could touch memorable.
The only thing that I would say would be OK was the music.
The music wasn't all that. I don't.
In fact, it's not even memorablesound effects.
Sound effects are fine. It's just that.
(01:30:43):
Yeah. Yeah.
But that should have it was I read.
The way I look at it, it's like if it if I have fun with it.
What we played this year, though, what is the ranking?
Wow. Out of what we played, yeah.
So no, no. Out of what we played, yeah.
And out of this, yeah. I think this was on the lowers
here for what we played this year.
I agree with that. Yeah.
It's like it just it's it's. Not can't match with everything
(01:31:05):
else, unfortunately. Yeah, even considering the.
Game. I don't like the art style.
I like the art. Style.
I like the art style. I like the turtles.
I like that cartoon. Yeah.
Well, I'm going to say. Good.
It's good. OK, I'm going to give it a good
because there are other games that we did play this year that
are 4 player multiplayer. Beat them up.
We'll get to them. That, yeah, I'm going to reserve
(01:31:27):
my my judgement for that, but. So good, OK.
Yeah. All right, So what I what I
think of this game, I think of comparing it to Ninja Turtles
the arcade. OK, so and you know, they've
added things in terms of the combat from Turtles in Time, you
know, the slamming and stuff like that.
I've added some things in there,but there was just something
(01:31:48):
about the original arcade that holds up so well.
There's a lot of charm. There's a lot of charm and a lot
of lot of fun. Not saying this game was not
fun. They have a moonwalking boss.
Ohh, and I forgot about the crackhead bebop.
Forgot about the well, well, well, well, I forgot about that.
I just remember I was actually getting that completely forgot
(01:32:10):
until just now. I just like wait a minute.
So when it comes to the source material, you know, like the the
first arcade had it down in spades like that that a lot of
people still think that's the best turtles game ever made even
though shreds revenges but but Turtles the original arcade is
the most iconic yeah, Turtle it's iconic yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah. This did not have the feel of
being iconic. It just felt like I had a good
(01:32:31):
time with it to to say, you know, same.
I had a good time with that if. I saw it at Dave and Buster's.
I'd be like, cool. I would give it AI would give it
a quick run. You know, throw my little
quarter in and play the game. And the first thing I would say
I would, I would throw in the court and start the game.
And the first thing I would say is why the fuck does Bebop look
like? Because that's how he.
Looked. That's the way he looked.
(01:32:53):
In the show. They made him look like a
crackhead in the show. No, it actually affected me.
I said why does he look like Rocksteady?
Looks pretty much so they made that's how he looks like in the
show. Why is he a fucking crackhead?
So, but there wasn't too many memorable moments from the game,
right? I remember, you know, plank
through and beating it, blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, So you know, I, I'm, I wasclose to saying this was.
(01:33:17):
Good. I don't remember anything.
I don't remember anything either.
I don't remember. I mean, the the stage selection
was kind of weird. This is not a bad game by any
means. I'm not going to sit here and
say this game is bad and I'm notgoing to say it's men.
It's actually I had a good time with it, but I will say it's OK.
All right, all right. I'll give it an OK.
In terms of the things that we're that we played this year,
(01:33:37):
I would give it an OK, no. All right, all.
Right, OK, it is the first, the first one in the OK team, first
one I. I would give it a high OK, but
it's an OK. I'm fine with that.
Everything else. It's the only OK so far.
Yeah. Not a bad game.
I will not say it's a bad game. Yeah, it's OK.
What do we have next? Not bad.
(01:33:58):
What if that game was $40? We.
Have Hell Divers 2 release February 8th, 2024 Developed by
Arrowhead Game Studios, published by PlayStation Studios
and Soniac Interactive Entertainment.
Available on PS5 and Microsoft Windows.
Terco can't be stopped. You can't help, but he's
blessed. You just constantly, you just
(01:34:19):
constantly talk over. I'll talk about.
Tell me about it. Let's y'all go first.
Yeah? So he can interrupt.
Yeah, it's not I. Can't believe this is on.
It's not. That's crazy.
It's not so Yeah, it's on Windows PC My.
Friends playing out? It's on Windows.
Yeah, they have it on. That's how Style was playing.
Style was playing it on Windows and I have it on PC.
Oh yes. OK, yeah, it was, Yeah, Funny,
'cause I was, I was watching oneof my friends play it.
I like, I had my Xbox on. I was like, how are you playing?
(01:34:41):
Hell Divers? Yeah, Anyway, no, this game is
fire. This game, this game is fire.
It's it. It's the only thing I that keeps
it from being like the GOAT is the fact that it'll throw you
into situations and not give youdirections on how to advance or
(01:35:02):
you won't have the right tools but you can still accept the
mission. Can I interject?
You got to be locked in. The last the latest update that
they remember how when you when you reload, you waste the whole
clip yes and all your bullets are gone.
They fixed they fixed it doesn'tdo it no more.
Oh, I have a shotgun. It's my my main weapon.
Every time I reload. I still have the clip and it
(01:35:26):
just goes through the bullets within the clip.
So that that's fixed. They fixed a ton of shit.
They added so much stuff, vehicles, new enemies, it's
crazy. It's crazy all free.
They they at the at the game awards.
They they freaking announced it in the trailer and they dropped
it that day. Chuck, what are you rating this?
But yeah, it's. Great, it's great.
(01:35:47):
There's no denying it. It's it's undeniably great.
It's, it's such a fun game and it's, it's hilarious running
away from an army of bugs tryingto get to the to the extraction.
Yeah. Or watching one of your friends
not make it all the plane because they decided to stay
back and fight bugs. It's like what?
Are you doing? There, there's so much old
(01:36:08):
school charm here yeah and and modern fun with this game.
Obviously I played with one stream or two streams, maybe 2
streams, 2 streams. It's a fun game, man.
It really leaves so much on the table of so much possibility in
the future of things to add to it.
But I need, I definitely need this game to be one more player.
(01:36:29):
Definitely need. And you know, I'm not saying
it's not going to happen. It could happen.
You never know. This is a game that's rating
that can change over the years. You know, it's just one of those
things. But it's such a well done game.
So much variety, so much fun, somuch chaos.
Yeah. So in my experience, I'm giving
it a great the friendly fireman.Giving it a great funny moments.
What's the what's the zombie game that is 4 players first
(01:36:52):
person left for left for dead? Yes this reminds me.
It gives me vibes of left for dead but third person.
But that mayhem of trying to getaway and you getting snatched at
the end and stuff like that. That is definitely in the vein
of Left for Dead. I can see that leave without me
that formula is tried and true man.
But the way I mean, listen, thisgame came out of nowhere.
(01:37:15):
Yeah, I never played hell divers, never cared about hell
divers. It was an overhead game.
I was like, whatever. Overhead strategy.
Yeah, I was like whatever, what is this?
And then 2 came out I was like OK, should I even play this?
I don't even know. I even know why I play.
I mean, I think cuz it's four players, right?
And I was like, this game not bad is magic.
Yeah, magic. It's a special.
(01:37:36):
Game. It's just something about it
that grabs me and it's like I get the loop of the gameplay.
You get in there, you do what you need to do, you get out, you
try and survive. There's tons of things going.
You shoot them all like I used to.
Like what was the Earth Defense Force?
Yeah, yeah, it was fun. And that was like low budget,
but it was fun. Yeah.
This is like on a high budget scale of that game.
Yep. Shooting like insects and
(01:37:57):
robots, same type of deal. Multiplayers just threw it over.
And the fact that you're a squad, I wish it was by place.
Oh my God, the whole. Crew could get it.
You never know. Look, I never thought that there
were. I'm saying most people never had
vehicles in the game. Customize your Cape to say level
857 or some shit. But.
Most. People, you can name the ship.
Most people. Don't care because they're not
5. They don't know five people to
(01:38:18):
get in the game. They're like, I don't care as
poor players, right? But for us, yeah, that would be
amazing. If it was everybody.
I I miss going in with the wholecrew to do it.
Yeah, it would be amazing. Like Gears of War, that shit's
fucking amazing. But like Starship Troopers but
better I always. I always feel that this is top
notch. It's one of the best games I
played this year. Yes.
And I wish I gave it more time, but you know, you need all of
(01:38:42):
us. You need all of us to play a
lot. But the fact that they upgraded
it and they they updated everything and they added stuff,
that trailer. It's better now, dude.
There's more. It's better now.
There's a. Different class enemy yeah, car,
yeah like dude, you don't have to run for hours.
Through the whole stage and it'sa two player, two people to a
car, two people to a car, one part, one person on the torrent
on the top of the car and then the other person driving.
(01:39:03):
It's dope. I like.
Making possibilities endless, which is fucking beautiful.
I never thought that was going to happen.
You could drop a nuke. You could drop a nuke.
Yes. Oh and I got the last
playthrough I did what was it 2 nights ago I just got a an air
strike that freaking a laser precision.
It's so much. It just kills everybody.
(01:39:24):
I had so much fun with this gameand it's so much I didn't even
see, which is crazy. Yeah.
No, it's a lot. Yeah, we scratched the surface
on it. It's a lot.
For real, from what they did andwhat they're doing with it, I
would have to give it GOAT status because.
Ghost status. Wow.
Yeah. I switch cuz I don't see a game
like it. Yeah, that does it better.
I don't see a game like it. It does it better, Agreed.
And I think that it it deserves all the acclaim it gets.
(01:39:47):
So, multiplay game, I'll be hereso far.
I agree with that. I give it.
I agree with that because of allthe I guess it's a live, I guess
it's a live service. It's live service.
It's live service accounts as a live service.
It's time for live service. That's.
The fucked up part about it, it is all most live services are
versus games. So to have a Co-op like live
(01:40:08):
service game like this and the way they they.
Execute it every time. Every time.
It's fun. Awesome.
Every time. Awesome.
So we got 2 greats and two goats.
Yeah, Turbo, you're the decidingfactor.
This should be funny. What?
Are you giving? I give it a man right on the
bottom of the list. You know what it's like I gotta
give it a very a great, a great.Yeah.
(01:40:29):
I can't give it a goat right now.
It's like it's still. As more time it feels good, I
can tell. It's A to kind of add into that.
I think I say great. I think potentially this could
be a goat. Yeah, I think, I think it's
going to be a goat eventually. Well, I've seen a lot I.
Think it's on the cusp. Next year it'll be a goat.
I think next year it will probably be a goat.
Yeah, when we rate it again, yeah, it'll probably be a goat.
(01:40:49):
Next year it'll be a goat. Watch, we're gonna add more
players. We're gonna add more vehicles.
Levels of head. I haven't gotten there, but I've
seen what they did. I dodged a nuke.
I jumped out of the way in. The whole screen exploded.
I'm like, dude, I don't have that power yet, but this game is
this is crazy. I was last played through.
I did a quick match with just random people and I did an
expert like that, the held whatever held like the hardest
(01:41:11):
shit just to try it out. But yo, I was obviously I'm the
lowest guy. Remember not to, not to continue
on this, but remember before that rumor, they were, you know,
the rumor of the 8 to 16 playersand a big mech that everyone
kind of, you know, you need eight people to control.
If that should happen, it'll be the greatest all time.
It will. It will go, it will go #1
anything ever made. Yeah, yeah, trolling a fucking
(01:41:33):
Mac fuck out of here. I mean and they do have a Mac
too that you have, no. Fuck robots trying.
To get cooperate. Go the world, water, world
robots. It's ridiculous.
It'll be like Catastronauts, butnext podcast it's going to be
about yeah, yeah, right. We definitely got to play.
So we'll put a grade on the cuspof gold.
Yeah, it's high. High grade.
(01:41:54):
High grade. OK.
You can put it on high grade, You can put the highest grade.
So far, yeah, Highest grade I, Idefinitely will.
Out of nowhere, the high grade like an Orton.
Like an arteo. Like a Orton all.
Right. What do we got next?
Next. We got Orton.
We have Infernax. Oh shit.
Oh. Shit.

dot emu. Available on Nintendo Switch,
PS4, Xbox One, Windows, Xbox Series X&S.
Yes. You want to go first or you want
me to go? I got.
This. Go for it.
Go for it if you like 8 bit and 16 bit Castlevania games and you
(01:42:37):
always dreamed that it being twoplayers, buy this now.
If you're questioning whether you should buy it, buy it now.
This is one of the funniest games, if not the funnest game I
played this year and I don't know why.
Actually, I do know why, becauseit's just.
Everything about it is fun. Just like that left.
Everything just go over there and just.
Go over there and just find out.There's the secret, the secret
(01:42:58):
over there, but I don't know what they did perfect about this
game, but they did it and they did do it perfect.
Because I can't fault this game for anything because there's a
good mode and there's a bad mode.
You mean you can be the bad guy?You can be the bad guy, you can
be evil, or you could be good. We beat the game good and then
we're playing through with evil and you could be like, yo, I'll
(01:43:18):
kill everyone, I will murder everyone, I will flood your
town. I will do everything.
And the game changes like the dialogue changes, the people you
associate yourself with changes like they thought it out.
It's not just like 1/2 ass, Oh my eyes turn red.
Wow. Like it's crazy.
Your weapons change, the whole game changes and we have to get
through it, But it's it's just fun.
It's just fun. So I'm definitely giving this
(01:43:41):
just like, listen, it doesn't look like the the best looking
game in the world, but I'm giving it a goat.
You know the top. You know what's funny?
It's so funny. I, I, I was like, I know what he
was going to say. And I was in my head.
I was like, no, I, I have no fucking issues with this game.
I have zero issues with this game.
This is one of the funnest fucking games, funnest
(01:44:02):
experiences I've had playing a Co-op game.
It's just, it's, I think it's, it's one of those things where I
don't know if any, any people have experienced it.
When you finish playing a game, it's like this might be the
perfect game for what I'm playing.
You know, like for whatever genre that is.
This was executed perfectly. Perfectly and maybe even a
(01:44:23):
little bit better. Yeah, like it's executed
perfectly. If this game I put Nintendo will
be the best. Intended.
No, it's it's it's if you say even if you want me to nitpick,
I can't find a nitpick for this fucking game.
You could choke out the guy you hate.
Oh handsome Hans, fuck him. I love it when he strangled that
piece of shit. Why is he handsome Hans?
(01:44:44):
Handsome Hans choke the shit outof that guy, damn.
If you eat the if you eat the wall meat like you do.
He throws it up. Like in Transylvania, you choke
and you're poisoning, you die. Wow.
It's dumb. It's dumb.
Stuff the Co-op obviously this is not the go one player.
It's not I'm not going to say it's not and I I can agree with
that because I I played it one player and I did not and it's I
(01:45:06):
did not have a it's very difficult, but like it works so
well with Co-op. It is a Co-op game.
This is a Co-op game. Every game I play that I have a
bad experience with that's Co-op.
This was DLC. This was like DLC.
Every game that I play that's that's Co-op and I play it
single player. I never have a good time with
it. It was originally a single
player though. Yep.
Right. And we didn't even play the
(01:45:28):
Contra mode. There's a Contra mode in the
game. There there is.
To be honest, there. I can't think of a lower rating.
There's no reason to give this lower than goat.
I can't. I can't do it.
So you hear it here. It has to go.
Go. It gets to goat.
Wow. It gets the goat.
Oh, what's? Going on, yeah, right.
But. Yeah, it's gone.
It gets the goat. It has to go up there.
(01:45:49):
It's it's, it's the goat. And the next game we got, it's
true. No, it's it's a beautiful game.
Next game. It Takes 2 released March 25th,
2021, Developed by Hazelite Studios, published by Electronic
Arts, Available on Xbox Series X&S, Nintendo Switch, PS5PS4,
Android and Microsoft Windows. I know exactly what you guys are
(01:46:11):
going to say. Take everything I just said and
put it towards this. I was going to say the same
thing. Nothing to explain.
I know I watched you guys play this fucking game.
I've never. There's only one other game that
made me laugh and like was like smile ear to ear like, and that
was a South. Park South.
Park South. Park Stick of Truth and then the
(01:46:33):
the sequel. Like those fucking games had me
die and laughing. It's.
One of the greatest coop games. Both.
This one, it's the reason why this guy, from what I saw, I
said this this could be one of the top ten coop games ever
created. It was.
It's a celebration of video games.
Yeah, They threw every type of genre video game in this game.
(01:46:55):
It's in it and it's in it. You like fighting games?
They have a fighting game section.
It's all in there. You like shooters?
They have a shooter section in there.
You like Gears of War and they got a Gears of War type shit you
like? Cooperative.
You have to do a cooperative. Yeah, that's the difference.
Yeah, the story is awesome, the freaking graphics are beautiful,
and I'm not a graphics whore, but damn it, it looks awesome.
(01:47:16):
You guys like a Pixar game? Series X, Series X PlayStation
We'll. Play, I think it was a Series X
episode. You guys play 60 frames was.
It doesn't matter what you play it, on it.
Wasn't. It doesn't matter what you play
it on because it's it's. All together, play it together.
Yes, 60 frames. We know what you guys are rating
it. Dude, it's the GOAT.
Yeah, yeah, it's no, it's the GOAT.
(01:47:39):
You have to play like I want to.I want your reaction.
The only thing is I didn't play it and I'm like, no, that's
going in GOAT status. If you guys very lower, I'd be
like, what do you guys? No, no, that's one of the best
things I've ever seen. I can't even nip like I can't
even think of that game is ridiculous.
It's it's polished, it's ridiculous.
The story was freaking good, thecharacters are funny.
(01:48:00):
Kudos to them getting game of the year for that year they came
out because that it should have.It deserved it.
It. Deserves it and they might get
another one with the new game that's coming out and you will
see that on the channel as well it's.
Crazy too. So throw that shit up and go,
yeah, man, it has to go it. Takes 2 a lot of go to.
Games on this list, what would have thought right?
I actually thought with someone,but like I can't argue those no,
(01:48:22):
I can't I can't argue the fucking game.
It's an upside down pyramid. Right now we have.
A good taste. We have a good taste.
What could we say? Turtles.
Turtles. I was like, fuck yeah.
But not just playing Call of Duty.
Yeah, next week. Mario Party Superstars released
October 29th, 2021, Developed byNintendo Cube, Published by
Nintendo, Available on the Nintendo Switch.
(01:48:45):
Holla, holla, holla. OK, OK.
I remember the way this ended. I would have made this game a
man. I got screwed over so bad.
I have to get screwed over. If we're judging you by that,
then it's goaded because I won this.
Fuck you then. If we're using that metric, then
yeah, it's goaded. No, no.
(01:49:06):
Who wants to start it? I don't this is a weird one.
This is a I'm on a crossroads. It is a weird one because it
does everything it's supposed todo to 100%.
I thought it was so how do you? Yeah.
Especially great. It was good for me.
It was like, it felt like a a live board game.
Yeah. That's what Mario Party is.
Yeah. Yeah.
So it's like what a Mario Party is like.
And it doesn't, it doesn't do anything wrong.
(01:49:27):
No, but I can't say it's one of the, even though it should be
the one of the greatest. You know, it's weird.
It's a weird thing. It's weird because it's not when
I think of like this list. No, it's not up there for me.
But it's fun and it does everything it's supposed to do.
I haven't played all the Mario Parties to to really.
I only played three Mario Parties.
But the versus games in this, were they classified as the
(01:49:49):
greatest? I thought they were good.
I didn't think they were the greatest versus multiplayer.
Yeah, the the like the the one, what was it?
The one with the tree and you have to hit the other.
Yeah, some are funny. Count to see how many blocks.
Yeah. I'm not a fan of the the games
by like of chance they. Put a lot in it.
Though I like Yeah, you. Didn't see all of it.
I think sounds like it was a good game.
(01:50:10):
I think, to be honest, I think, I think I, I can't give it a
goat. Obviously I can't give it a goat
because I, I don't, I don't justdon't think it, but I think it's
a, it's a great game. It does what it's supposed to
do. I think, yeah, I don't.
Like. It's the other one was.
Better we just no Jamboree's a. Better.
It is a better game. It was better.
Alright, you know, I'm gonna give I would throw this.
I would throw this a very good. I'm gonna give the same.
I'm gonna I'm gonna say very good.
(01:50:31):
I'll give it a very good. Yeah, OK.
Very. Good.
I'm happy with it. That's what it's supposed to do.
Yeah. And it's it's better than just a
regular playing experience. So it gets a very good.
Yeah, they do. Cheat you at the end though, so
it's good for me. You could.
You could. You could.
Switch better you could dude I got screwed at the end, I should
give. This.
You can switch both stars off ifyou want.
No, it's a very good game. It's a very good game.
(01:50:52):
I put it in. I put it in.
Very good. OK all.
Right, all right, so the next one we got.
We have Mayhem Brawler released August 19th 2021, developed and
released by Hero Concept and read our games available on PS5,
Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, Windows, Xbox Series X&S.
(01:51:14):
That's on a lot of stuff. Hell yeah, man.
It's a damn good game. It's a.
Sleeper it's. This is very polished.
First of all, this was more polished than I would have ever
imaged. Honestly, I didn't think this
game was going to be good. I would, I would.
First of all, it's gonna be decent.
Yeah, I thought it was gonna be like, this is I It's I, you know
what I mean? Well, you know, I'll beat them
(01:51:35):
up to go. But this game was.
This was very good. This was a very fucking good
game. The moves that you could do, I
was doing like air combos and I hit people with pile drivers.
It's got jug the. Illegal move.
It's got good art. It's got good art, good little
personality with it's comic. Yeah, their comic stuff, their
(01:51:57):
lore. Enemies are cool.
The different paths you can take.
And I like how it gave you updates like on on their on
their version of Twitter. Yes yeah, I think that was
pretty cool. That was a nice little charm to
it Me personally, I would give this a very good.
I think this was a very good game on the cusp of great it
was. You know, obviously when you
play shoots of rage four, you'respoiled.
Exactly. You're spoiled that that streets
(01:52:18):
of rage 4 is arguably the best beat em I've ever made.
I'll. Go.
Yeah, yeah, but this was a very fucking good game.
My biggest gripe with this game was was that the last boss.
The last boss was not like he had.
You didn't know he was the last boss.
Not memorable because I don't know who it was.
He was like a butcher, He. Was like AI don't know who it
(01:52:39):
was he. Just popped up you beat him
tomorrow out of that he died in the game.
He got murdered in seconds. And like trying to spotlight on
my dude and say I'm the guy. Like do something at the.
End with each path, there shouldhave been somebody that's like,
all right, I know this is the the.
We treated that boss the way cafe.
Fox originally the game mid boss.
I would give it AI would give ita solid.
Very good. Did you guys mention that when
(01:53:00):
it was first released it was only three players?
No, no. That was that was they added it
later, yeah. But when it was launched, it was
three players. Three players, yeah.
Still great calling it's. Still great.
I still it's going into very good.
For me, I like very good. Second one has a demo out right
now that you can play for free. Yeah, so download that.
We need to play it on the channel.

Listen. Will you give it?
Very. Good.
Very good. I I was just about to say the
same thing. Yeah.
Terrible Quiet, would you say? I haven't played I've.
Not oh yo-yo, you haven't playedit, man, so shut the fuck No,
it's it's very. Good though it was.
Great. Very surprising.
I did not think it would be anything.
(01:53:41):
And I it was. I was very.
Impressed. It was surprisingly very good.
The. Only thing I would keep keeps it
from being great for me personally was the the
storytelling, the way they did the I liked it.
I wasn't a fan of the Twitter thing.
That was just me. I keep it from I keep it from
great. From what you just said about
the boss thing. The bosses to me are very
(01:54:02):
important in games. Yeah, bosses are very important
in games. And I didn't care for any of the
bosses that the main boss. I was like who the fuck is it so
Oh yeah very good game. I recommend it as beat em up.
I like the comic book part. I know you didn't like the
Twitter and the comic book together.
I like the comic book by itself.I like Twitter came from.
Like. I like both.
It was different. It made me feel like it could
(01:54:23):
have been happening in real life, you know?
What I mean, it was it was different.
Yeah, it was, it was different. And it was a nice way to throw
more, more. Who's Martin?
Throw. More modern shit in there the
more all. Right, so let's go into.
The fuck is that? Very, very good.
I'm all right. I'm happy.
With that, very, very good. I think we're doing a lot of
these games. SQL probably go out.
(01:54:45):
SQL will probably. They do it right?
Yeah, I don't know yet. We got.
Players. All right, what do we got next?
Y'all? Let's see.
You tell us. We got Multiverse Policeman May
28th, 2024 Developed by Player First Games published by Warner
Brothers. Games available PS5PS4, Xbox
Series X&S, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows.
(01:55:08):
I didn't know. Something is more.
Oh again. I'm gonna let Turbo start on
this. One go ahead man, I gotta think
about. It jumps everywhere, man.
It's jumping everywhere for me. I'm thinking about the combined
experience of, you know how it'sbeen for the whole entire year.
It's been back and forth. Based on the updates all.
Right right now as it's. Right now, right now, I give it
a very good. Last week, would you?
(01:55:30):
I give it no I would before the update I I really love the
addition of Shields and the 1st update after season 3.
Well the debut update was season3.
I did not like the feel of the game and they've made
improvements on it. They added Shields and the game
feels a lot better. So I think it's and it's a
(01:55:54):
solid, you know, it's definitelya solid successor to Smash
Ultimate. It has tremendous potential.
I I want to see it do well. I still play it.
I still desire and I'm drawn to playing the game and I love the
characters and the love that they show the characters in
there. It's really is a solid effort.
It really is solid, so very good.
I'll, I'll go next because I started playing this game.
(01:56:18):
I'm not huge on platform fighters even though I do play
Smash Ultimate every month and get destroyed.
That's why, yeah. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I'm, I'm
more of a, I'm more of a 2D or 3D fighting game player more
than a platform fighter. But the it's the cast that that
attracted me to the game becauseit's got a bunch of DC
characters. So I dove in.
(01:56:39):
It's a fun game. It's a very fun game.
But I have not gone back to it since the latest iteration or
update, however you want to callit.
But I will give it a solid. Good.
It's a good game. I haven't played the latest
iteration, but I'm going to. I'm going to give it a good.
(01:57:00):
I'm going to give it a good. You know what I to 2nd that to
go off the chart because I haven't played the the official
launch and till this day I haven't played it.
I have only played the beta of the game at which I love and
from listening to it style says every week about this game and
all the changes and all the, youknow, the frustrations, but at
(01:57:21):
the end of the day it's a live service game, so it's it's
constantly evolving the. Epitome of live service, huh?
It's the epitome of live service.
Yeah, yeah, it's. Breathing.
Yeah, but because I know that it's a live service that it's
constantly evolving, I know it'sit's only as good as the late
the last update. So I can't really judge like
(01:57:42):
right now because I haven't played the the recent version,
but from the beta that I played I loved it.
And that would be, to me that would be a great, but I can't
really judge it for today's standards since I haven't played
recently. So, well, these guys have played
it. Well, you guys have played it,
so your vote, actually my vote doesn't.
(01:58:04):
I don't consider my to piggybackoff of that, yeah, if it was
beta, I would say great, right? I would yeah, right.
That I would even I would even hesitate.
Yeah, that would be great. That's how I from the ups and
downs, obviously where the game is right now, the way it feels,
I would say there were some problems in in beginning of
season 3. I'm not even gonna lie.
I was like, there's there's somethings they got to fix and as
(01:58:26):
the season went on, they they got to a way where it feels very
close to the beta. It's not quite there in my
opinion, but it's close to the beta and that felt very tight.
And Smash Brothers sets the bar so fucking high.
It sets it so high. And like Smash Brothers is the
epitome of what platform fighters should be in terms
invented it in terms of tight, like tight combat and and hit
(01:58:48):
boxes. Perfection.
That is perfection of platform fighters.
Fight me on that. It's like what Street Fighter
did for Yeah, it's it's that's exactly what it is.
It's at the standard for it is the epitome of how platform
fighters should be, right? It's a blueprint after, you
know, that past season, what theyou know, the way the matches
felt, I was like, it's fucking getting there.
(01:59:09):
It's getting close to that tightness of of combat.
I'm not going to say good. I'm not going to say good.
I think good might be a little too low for where it's at right
now. Oh.
Good's low, yeah. I think it's it's low.
I think at the beginning of season 3 it was good.
I think that's a maybe a little bit less, but I think right now
it's very good. I think the game is very good.
(01:59:30):
It's fun. I'm having a good time with it.
My Wonder Woman feels a lot better.
I feel like I have full control over the characters I pick.
Yeah, what happened is Superman is a fucking tragedy.
Fucking tragedy and a travesty, even though I combine both
words. So it's a tragedy and a
travesty. And if they fix that shit, I
would give it a goat. If they fix that shit, I'd give
(01:59:51):
it a fucking goat. But they didn't.
And they're fucking not listening to me every time I
complain about it on Twitter or XI know they're ignoring me.
So. It could be good or.
No, it could. It could on the day.
It could be great or great. It's not great right now.
It's very good, on the cusp. Oh wow.
Of great high. Very good.
Yeah, I'm going off of the off of the initial season 3.
(02:00:13):
So I'm yeah, I get where you go,where you're.
Coming yeah, it's it's it's the the characters that what they do
for the characters are it's phenomenal.
They do an amazing job with their characters every.
Even the characters I give 0 fucks about.
But then they got to balance. Them though, they have to
balance them and keep get get the the shield thing is great
because a lot of the the in cells that like the spam moves
(02:00:34):
they they're dropping off and wedon't want them online.
So this improved it. So that's why I give it a very
good because that's a great move.
OK, OK, all right, so that's very good, very good.
I'm happy. With that, All right, yeah, I
played back. I played the beta so I can't say
anything. Beta was fast, top notch.
It was, it was great combat. Sorry, what do we?
Got give. Superman is throwback.
We're all fucking. I'm down, sorry.
(02:00:55):
All right. Throwback jersey we have Oh
Jesus Christ we have. Pico Park 2 released August

All right part. Two pick up Part 2.
(02:01:17):
This game is hilarious. It's fun.
It's fun. I'm not huge on puzzle games, so
it it tests my patience, but I'mnot gonna lie, I had a good I
had a good time playing it with the with the crew.
So for. A coop puzzle game.
Yeah, this you think baby game? Yeah, but it's not.
It's not my daughter cannot playthis.
(02:01:39):
No, I guarantee she'll probably be like she tried.
She tried. But she was not like some
puzzles. Yeah, but she was just like this
games hard, Dad not. The amount of people for
multiplayer, it's, it's interesting.
Yeah, I think the funny part about this game is so simple.
It's so plain and you get 5 personalities Yup, playing yeah,
(02:01:59):
this game, which is complete fuckery and it's up to 8
players. Yeah, it's it's it does it does
it does a great job. It really does a great job.
I watched by the way. I watched an 8 player stream and
it's crazy the amount of curse words.
That I no longer friends. I wouldn't be able to do it.
I can't do that. I don't know if they're friends
anymore. Man you.
Can only play in eight players one time because you will never
(02:02:21):
know these. People again, Yeah, yeah, you
can cut them out of your life. Who has?
Who has a rating already? I would say.
I'm dancing between 2:00. I am also dancing between.
Two good. Good.
I give it good. Yeah, I agree.
I'm giving it a good. Oh shit.
All right. It's very simple though.
For me, it was in between good and very good.
Yeah, I'm leaning towards very good.
(02:02:43):
Yeah, I was at, I was at very good, to be honest, only because
of the the amount of players that you can have the.
Level that we played, it may be very good.
They also. Players will be bad, yeah.
Yeah. Hey, players will be bad.
Welcome. Comparing it from the first Pico
Park that age, the improvements that they made, one of the
biggest improvements was that the fact that you can play
online and and which locally. Which is very.
(02:03:06):
Much and I like and I like the working together.
I always give that a a a high praise when games make you work
together and communicate. Yeah, and that game forces you
to do that shit. You have no choice.
It's Co-op puzzle. Yeah.
And and it, it does everything it's supposed to do.
That's why I give it a very good.
It reminds me of a box Boy box. Remember we played that Sticks.
(02:03:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It reminds me of that where it's
a cold puzzle platform. No, yeah, because of the amount
of different brains working. Like just grab that, yes.
Why can't you just? Why can't you remember 2 spaces?
Like this right here. We had to do that.
Right here, like this here it iswild, wild.
You just die. You're like, what the hell is
it? Just continues to test your
(02:03:47):
brain. It's almost like Waria wear
kinda where it's like you, you don't know what you're supposed
to be, just committed suicide. But everyone has to think in
their own terms. Yes, Yeah.
And the same thing has to go on.It's almost like a multiplayer
Waria wear kinda. Sorry I'm either so if y'all are
teetering. I'm staying with very good.
I'm I'm on very, I'm on the. It's high tier good.
So I'm on the very good chalk good.
(02:04:10):
Standing good. Kev.
Standing good. Two goods. 2 very goods.
Jay, you're the deciding factor.Bring us home.
Bring us home. Where do you stand?
Sorry. Originally I said good, so I
mean we got three goods. Oh, you say?
Good. Originally, it's good.
Good. OK, So it's good if.
I had to sway it. I'm good with either, hey.
You're good with either. There you go.
(02:04:31):
You said it right there. You said good, but good, good it
is. Yeah, like when I look at the
very goods, I'm like, yeah, PikaPark too is a good.
Kev like, you know what, the graphics didn't like really hold
up too well to me and kind of look like a baby game.
It's not the graphics very. Simple though it is.
What's? Next.
Alright, next. Retro Mania Wrestling released

Biased. We are in the game.
(02:05:13):
Of course, we played this this year.
We there was this. Wow, this.
Is the stream that we played this year.
Yeah, we missed early in the year, early in the year it.
Was like 2 streams they. Played the updates and it was
actually super. That was one of the right after
we had. It was amazing.
That was a lot of fun right after we had Mike on.
Yeah. This game is super.
Fun. Oh man, it's super.
Fun. It's There's a bit of a learning
curve with the moves and stuff, but this game is fun.
(02:05:37):
You get used to the learning like after you get past that
initial learning curve, you do get used to it and it is fun.
It's one of the best wrestling games out, though.
It's like, you know, especially 2D, It's the best 2D wrestling
game that's out, Yeah. I already got my vote, man.
It's coded. I mean, we're in the game
though. Like, yeah, how do you not how
(02:05:58):
do you can't give it a rating, can't give it any other rating,
man, Come on. We're bias.
It's gold. It's like it's very bias.
All right, so you, you guys oppose it.
Just shut up to my curb. Word.
Shout out to war horses. So we're all goading this game.
Oh yeah, man, I'm. I'm going to.
I'm gonna go great. You can go great.
I'm gonna go. I will go great.
(02:06:18):
I'll go great. I was gonna say great.
I'm I'm good either way, whetherit's goaded or or great.
I'm goading. Man, I don't want to seem too
biased because we're in the game.
I got the 10 lbs. Fucking I'm biased.
I got the 10. Pounds and more story to it.
I love the new characters, especially Mr. Hughes.
They're very powerful. The way they execute the
finishes are really, really cool.
Jumping outside the ring. It's, it's got a lot of options,
(02:06:40):
man. It's like.
You know what? Screw it.
Mike Harmon put his heart and soul into this.
Yeah, it's goaded. It's good.
It's good there you. Go.
That's The funny thing is it's like as I think about the game
itself, right? I try to take away the fact that
we're cool with Mike Harmon, thefact that we're in the game.
Yeah, but but then we. Thought yeah, we, it's it's it's
it's a pretty solid grapple system, you know, for the
(02:07:02):
characters that are in it, it's a fun time.
The MOS that are in it, it's a fun time.
It's like, I can't think of anything like, you know, there's
maybe one thing that I could nitpick on is, you know, pinning
someone with a fucking clothesline or, or a punch or a
three piece or a three piece combo, No.
(02:07:22):
One hit. Yeah, yeah.
So, you know, that would be my, you know, but things have been
updated over, you know, since the last time that we've been
played. It's constantly updated.
So like the in terms of arcade multiplayer fun, yeah.
A lot of improvement. Crosses all those boxes, man.
That's fair. He took it in consideration.
(02:07:43):
He went in, fixed a lot of stuff.
No, you got to, you got to give credit where it's you know where
it's where it's still. This is not an action platform
or this is not a shooter. This is a wrestling game.
Wrestling. This is Superstar Arcade
wrestling and as a wrestling game.
Yeah. An arcade wrestling.
I just wish there was a creativeplay, you know?
Yeah, obviously we, we. Do the only thing missing, you
(02:08:04):
know, I mean you're. Rated based on what it.
Has. Yeah, exactly.
I mean, I mean you already have our sprites in the game, but I.
Mean wow. There you go, you.
Have to go. It's like I can't get mad at
going. Come on.
I gave it great, but I can't. Get them with the flatbread.
You know what I'm? Saying give them the flatbread
bro. Golden retro man, it's like.
(02:08:26):
I have nothing to say. What do we have next?

(02:08:47):
Published by Way Forward in Ark System Works at least on
Nintendo Switch, PS5PS4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, Xbox
Series X&S. The funny thing is what what I
was thinking, Turbo said out loud.
That's the exact same thing I was thinking.
I was just like, oh shit. Come.
On shit, let's just hold it in for two seconds and I and I did
and Turbo just let just let it out.
(02:09:09):
Fucking we can make this quick. You have pretty.
Much. I've made Turbo.
Go for it, yeah. We played only one stream of
this, but the the DLC already isfantastic.
It's already fantastic with the moves we could do and we don't
even have half the moves yet. OK, we have half the moves yet
and it's like River City girls 2already was like a perfect
fucking beat them up already. So it's like now you got these
(02:09:32):
characters done perfectly and. It's it's what.
It's what you I want. To say very good so far, but I
know it's going to be goated by the time we get all the
freaking. Moves though right there it's.
Done. It's goated.
Go, go it, go it's. Goaded Go.
They're in there. Let.
Me, get the rest right there it was.
Goaded before the double dragon.When you saw them in the shop?
Wait, wait, wait. Did you hear how Turbo ended
(02:09:53):
that? I did.
But he did. How?
He mumbled his he mumbled off, he mumbled to nothing.
He trailed off in a moment. It's River City Girls.
River City Girls 2 Double Dragons are in it.
It's fucking goaded. Yeah.
I mean, there's nothing really else you can say because you saw
them in the shop in the first game.
Oh God. Wow, wow, wow, wow.
(02:10:18):
You have a show to do. Wow.
All right, wow. But yes.
Rivers they got those two was goaded before double.
Dragging it was great. All right, Yeah, they.
Added the DLC. Which is good.
It's goaded. Which is goaded again.
There's nothing. Yeah, two times.
So. It is 2 at a time, 2 at a time.
Good days, days double goaded. Double goaded, double dragged,
(02:10:41):
That's like the shortest thing we didn't even have to save
overnight. What do you want?
Me to say. Get that on sale.
Get it, Buy it now. The way you pull the knee out,
No. Come on man.
I wasn't. Around we got.
Next we got lots of. We have Super Mario Brothers
Wonder, released October 20th, 2023, developed and published by
Nintendo on the Nintendo Switch.Oh shit, this is another oh man,
(02:11:06):
go all right, I'm a go first, even though turbo did turbo go
to I mean fuck, man. Listen, I got my complaints.
Obviously I do have my complaints.
Obviously the boss battles, right?
You know I wanted more variety with the boss battles.
Same. But fuck man, this as a
multiplayer game, it's so fucking clean.
And I'll tell you one thing because in my mind this was
(02:11:28):
great, right? But like the stage you were
watching right now, those last fucking stages, I said holy
shit, these stages were fucking insane.
Very creative man. This this, this was Mario to me.
And, and like the game, the the the new power ups, the little
(02:11:50):
fucking things with your little jellies and running around the
psychedelics, those things to meoutweigh my negatives with this
game. And as a Co-op experience
wholeheartedly with the open world, going to different
stages, different power ups, different, I have no choice but
to give this a go. I have no choice.
Yeah. As far as the stream, I I have
(02:12:11):
to go with you on that because it's very, very fun streaming
this live with, with, you know, multiplayer, those end stages.
I said God damn. And yeah, my do I want variety
with the, with the boss battles.I always do.
That's my biggest gripe. I've always criticized Mario
games for their boss battles because they've always been
(02:12:31):
lacking as far as a variety is concerned.
But besides that, this one is goaded.
It's very fun. I had I think I.
Think it could have been more. I had gripes.
I had like stage, some stages were literally 30 seconds have
just moved right And I'm like, why did you do that?
It's not a tutorial stage. Why did you?
Even agree with that. And then the bosses like you
(02:12:53):
said, they could have been more like they could have done more
with it. I did get way better near the
end and it did turn you guys votes and pushed it up higher.
I would say it's just it's not go for me.
It is very good. It's very good because I.
Had not great. Not great.
Oh wow, I I actually just ignored that.
(02:13:14):
I thought he said very good dropdown too.
I'm like, wait, not great. Because of the stuff for 70% of
the game, I would say that's whyI I like the 3D four player
Mario better. I did this one.
OK, But yeah, I mean, it's not like my vote's going to matter
right now anyway. But that's what I would give it
because I would. I don't care about playing
(02:13:34):
wonder over regular. Oh well, yeah, for me, I didn't
like some of the power ups were like whatever.
So I didn't, I just used the higher jump or whatever.
That's it. A lot of stuff didn't matter to
me. But yeah, that's just me.
Interesting. And chalk, you never played it.
Didn't play? Oh, you didn't play it all?
It's a platform of trucks like that shit man.
(02:13:55):
I. Guess the go.
That's what I thought about. All right, now those complaints
are actually very valid. No, they're, they're very
extremely. Valid gold if they if they
handled what they didn't just changed all that.
It could be one of the best games ever.
One of the best games. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I like the jellies though.I for me, I rated just on the
the the Co-op experience. That's what I'm listen very
(02:14:17):
clean from the From US streaming.
Yeah. I mean, I don't know if that's.
I've yeah, I did the same thing.I'm I'm going by the experience
we had when we played this and stream this on the channel and
it was fucking fun and there wasa lot created.
There was some funny ass banter between US.
Wait, was was it this game or was it the other game when we
were talking about like, oh, we had maybe it might have been the
(02:14:40):
three D1. Where like oh, she's pregnant
that. Was that was 3D one?
That was 3D one? That was one of the most wild
shorts ever. That's gold.
Yeah, I will agree with you. That's my, I think that's my
favorite. My favorite one is 3D one.
That's my favorite one, but thisis the best 2D1 to me.
It's definitely the best 2D1 to me.
Yeah, especially that last boss.It's one of the best last Bowser
(02:15:01):
boss fights I've. Read.
That was pretty cool. We got four more games left.
Y'all 4 left. We got to make it stretch, make
it good. Here we go.
Exciting. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Splintered Fate released May 4th, 2023 on iOS, then July
17th, 2024 on the Switch, developed by Cradle Games,
published by Game Mill Entertainment, and as we said
(02:15:22):
before, released on Nintendo Switch, Apple Arcade, and
Microsoft Window. This is a tough one.
This is a tough one. This is a tough.
One, this was a better property to publish for Game Mill
Entertainment than Wrath of the Mutants, so I'll give him that
this is a. Tough 1 I think.
I can still put this in the sametea that we did on the turtles
too, but if you didn't see that,we'll discuss.
(02:15:43):
Who's first? Not me.
I'll go first all. Right go.
All right. Since I've been playing, well, I
haven't played this past week, but Hades and I played this
after playing this Turtles splintered fate, I'm going to
say that this they even though it's inspired by Hades, the fact
that it it's a basically a four player Hades without the same
(02:16:08):
type of like because you could you get new weapons and stuff
like that in Hades. And so you don't really you
stick to your weapons in this game.
Yeah, 80s is a lot faster, but it's, again, this is inspired by
it to bring that property to bring to bring that property or
whatever that that style of gameplay to a Turtles game and
(02:16:28):
make it work. This is like the first Turtles
game. You can't really jump.
You don't really. There's no jump button in this.
Turtles can't jump. But it's going to be, you know
what I cuz it it got it. It hooks you in the fact that
makes you want to go back and play again like any good
(02:16:49):
roguelike game does, you know, does, and it gives you the right
amount of power ups that you keep on your next playthrough.
And it actually helps in the next playthrough because you you
need it because there's a lot ofhazards and stuff like that in
the game that that will kill youfast.
(02:17:10):
I'm going to give it. You know what?
Fuck, I'm going to give it a great.
I'm going to say this is great all.
Right. I'm going to give this a great
because it may I still want to go back.
I still want to. I want to.
I want to complete this game man.
Listen, the gameplay loop in this is astounding.
It's it's addictive. It makes you want to play over
and over and over and over again.
(02:17:31):
It works because you can do something better your next
playthrough. You think, in your head at
least, you think that you can. Whether that's true or not,
that's whatever. Yeah, but the fact that they
pulled this off with a road light game like another one,
Yeah, they did it the best way they could possibly do it.
Yeah. And multiplayer too.
It's four players, Yeah. It's not like any other Turtles
(02:17:53):
game you played. Yeah, No, it's not.
But the characters, even the story, it's just cool.
You never know what you're goingto get out of it, though, as far
as enemies. Yeah.
So the replay value is there, the graphics are slick, colors
are cool. Some of the hazards though, the
environmental hazards are kind of annoying.
But you never know what you're going to get.
Like I said, sometimes it can begreat.
(02:18:14):
Sometimes you feel like, all right, next playthrough, right?
That's the thing about rogue like it's it's randomized, so
you don't know what they're going to.
Get. But I would I would put this in
the great. Not goat.
Not yet. Right.
Could be, but I would still I would put it in great.
It's just there. It's one of the best turtles
games without being the arcade version of turtles.
(02:18:37):
So they they they obviously perfected that.
But yeah, they held tons of different turtles games.
This is definitely one of the best ones.
Yeah. The arts awesome, music's not
bad, replay value is great. I'm trying to figure out what I
give this. It's not a GOAT yet.
(02:18:58):
I'm leaning towards a high. Very good, OK, High, very good
right now, you know, it's like it's it's you know, it's
difficult. Doesn't have too many stages
into it, but the stories. Yeah, I do, you know, it's it's
a great time. It definitely.
You just answered. That's all I'm that's sounds.
That's a great time. That's that's what I'm.
(02:19:19):
Saying a high very good. A high.
Very good. That sounds great.
Not quite. Not great yet.
It's a great, it's a great time,but very good while.
You stop. This, this is a great game.
It's great. It's a great game.
It is. I don't really need to add
anything else. It's a great game.
So it goes in the great. It is great, damn it.
This is a great. Goes in the great.
I can't see it anywhere else. I have too much fun with this
(02:19:40):
fucking game. Yeah, no, it's fun.
It's addictive. It's addictive.
It's. The last boss is amazing.
This can go in the. Go.
No, that's what I'm saying. Well, yeah, we don't.
We have to reserve it, obviously, yeah.
I just feel like playing, yeah. All the time I always want to
play this game. Yeah.
It does have that what? Do we have now?
The greatest Co. OP Super Mario Party Jamboree at
(02:20:01):
least October 17th, 2024 developed by Nintendo Cube,
released by Nintendo on the Nintendo Switch.
I think this game was very fair.This is the reason I think this
was perfectly made. I think it it distributes
everything the right way. And I think this is the grace,
the grace, the greatest Mario. I keep combining words.
(02:20:22):
It's the Graces. Mario Party game that was
amazing, I said caught you bitch.
Caught you fast? Bro.
We all had to work together and and the proper person won in the
stream. So this is this is a goat.
No, I'm skating. I take it I take a point off for
them. That's fine.
I give it a very I give it a nota very good.
I give it a great. I get it's a great game.
Yes, this was a great game. I think this is better than the
(02:20:44):
last one. Yeah, I think so too.
We only played one. We played one freaking ball.
I think it's cleaner. That's cleaner.
Should be, it's new. And I like the traps.
Traps is fucking cool man. But I got I got screwed over by
that. That ruined your my momentum and
everything is ruined man. Even though I got lost the whole
game, I still had fun. You actually did you you were
(02:21:05):
screwed over the entire time. But I I have to give it also a
great only because it it gives you that board game competition
that that that that anger that you have in a board game that
you that it they honed it in man.
I like they honed the stage plays more of a part, like with
the water. Yeah.
And the volcano. Oh no.
The. That was good.
(02:21:25):
That was actually very. Good, that's just one.
We just, yeah, we just did one. Board.
I think the new boards are better.
I have 5 unlocks so far, there'stwo more and I think the remakes
of older games. The other two that are left, but
the ones that are part of the core game, there I I feel the
quality better than I. Like the versus games better?
Yeah, yeah. Many games are better.
(02:21:46):
Same. I love the new items.
I think they mix it up. I like the gimmicks with the new
boards and I'm like, yo, I'm like, I give it a great.
Definitely Bowser. There's the evil came.
Out so great. Great.
I give it a great. Great, great, great.
I think it's great. I think it's.
Everybody says great. Alright, the mall like wait till
(02:22:08):
you guys play the rest of. The I want to see how mad Chalk
would get in there. We gotta catch you on one of the
parties. Yeah, bro.
We gotta see how we play board games.
Come on. Yeah, I think you like it.
We we need the anger. Have fun.
Anybody could have fun? Probably win.
It is a fun game, though. It's a it's a it's like anybody
can have fun with this game. Oh yeah, anybody.
It's, it's a board game, man. At the end of the day, we.
(02:22:28):
Got we got 2 left. We got 2 left so. 2.
And you guys know what the last two are, do I?
The first one is. I don't know.
We have Marvel Rivals, released December 6th, developed and
published by Net Ease. Games available on PS5, Xbox
Series X&S, and the PCI. Like that cover art?
(02:22:48):
This game, yeah, I like that art.
This game, dude, I'm I'm whatever dude, I'm throwing this
in gold. No, no, I don't care what y'all
say. You know, to be honest with you,
I'm, I'm also I'm with you on that.
Man, because it was funny. Because this is basically an
Overwatch clone, yes and I used to play Overwatch and I was
(02:23:09):
like, yo, this game ain't reallyfun and then.
This is Marvel's Overwatch. It's it's Marvel's Overwatch
third person dude. This game has personality and
fire. That you care about?
Yes. Did you have Lifetime with
Marvel characters? Exactly the war and yeah, it's
just plus it's. Polished beyond belief.
I'm going to give it just for just like to piggyback off of
(02:23:29):
that, I'm going to have to give it a goat also because for a
live service game to launch withno major issues, yeah, like no
game breaking issues. Yeah, nobody really had any
like, oh, I lost this match because this thing glitched.
Like, no, none of that. What did?
None of that happened. They launched that Wolverine
costume. That was the only thing.
And it was, that is. The only issue I have with the
(02:23:50):
game. Well, they got to make money.
They got to make. Money.
Oh no, that was I know why they that's directly how they made
all their money, right? Now, yeah, so how it just died,
right? Yeah.
So I fell on my face. Damn.
Fucking no. But this, this game, it's a
goat, man. I have to learn how to how to I
have to figure out I have to play more characters to get to
find the character that fits my style of gameplay.
(02:24:11):
But from what I played so far, it's it's dope.
This game is. Great, I applaud them for the
Polish. Yeah, it's it's.
Good. Six on, six on 6.
And that is Disney money. They use something.
They use it for good I. Look forward to the updates, I
want to know what they're gonna add.
Exactly. I know what they gonna learn
(02:24:32):
from this because this is still like a couple of weeks to know.
But the thing. Is who knows what most are gonna
add. They got so much lore they have,
they took so the art is insane, yeah.
The art, art beautiful. The art stuff.
Every screen, Yeah. Every little move you make Cost.
Millions. It's polished.
Yeah, it's polished. It's ridiculous.
Yeah, man, attention to detail. I just want an action game.
(02:24:55):
Just just make it. Just add it.
Damn, just give me a multiplayer.
We make marvelous Avengers. Yeah.
Like this? Make Avengers but with X-Men.
Styles, did you? You didn't chime in yet, did
you? Not yet.
I'm kind of bouncing around because obviously this game has
the the addiction factor to it. I think about this game a lot.
(02:25:16):
I always want to play the game. I always want to get better.
To piggyback what you said, you know, still learning characters,
trying to find out your play style.
You know, I, I gravitated towards Hawkeye, but I'm
Wolverine's my favorite superhero.
I very stubborn trying to learn him but I always end up dying
very quickly. Somebody ill What he?
Want yeah, no, there's people soso I'm very are bumper.
(02:25:38):
I said dude really is that is that device.
That's the worst device I've ever heard.
But like, yeah, it's, you know, learn, it makes you want to
learn characters you're not goodwith.
Yes, you know, it does a lot of things right, but it's still
early into the build. So there's a lot of broken
characters like you just saw on the screen just now.
Yeah. So, you know, that's why I can't
give it GOAT status because, youknow, there's still some things
(02:25:59):
that are, are not right. Like you just, you just take 5
people off the screen. And yeah, or you or I could chop
you up and Scarlet Witch just drains my energy.
And nothing happened to that bitch after I surprised her.
Yeah. And start chopping her up.
Scarlet Witch is a problem also.I don't.
Also, I don't have full control over Captain America's bat
shield bash and Wolverines dive.It kind of goes into a random
(02:26:21):
area sometimes even if I'm facing somebody.
So those little things, I can't give it goat status because of
those things. OK, Does it?
Yeah. By next year, my I'll probably
change my mind. But the allure, the appeal, the
the, the presentation, everything else, the fun that
you could play six of your boys and, you know, fighting
(02:26:44):
everybody else is fucking awesome.
So yeah, I have to give it. I have to give it a great.
OK, that's fair. That's fair.
Yeah, same. I'll give a great obviously.
Didn't play it enough but it doesn't matter because it's
going to get a great regardless so.
I think it for me it's like helldeaf.
It's so close to goat. It's I guarantee he'll change it
(02:27:05):
a couple. Of months it can get.
There, it will change. It can get it could probably
change tomorrow like this. It's so fucking close.
But that's something that just came out.
Yeah, that just came out. It's so good.
It's it's it's they're on something very fucking special.
I'm here for it. Off the jump.
It's polished, yeah. Yeah, Oh.
God, not even in the game yet. Oh God, Silver Surfer.
(02:27:27):
I mean, this is endless. So many, so many characters too.
Endless Ultron, hundreds of characters, hundreds of
characters. Blades through.
He's in the data mine. Yeah, Blades in Fantastic Four
and Blader in the data mine. I'd like to see the new modes
they add too. Man, if they add a mode where
you could actually do like a like a raid and take out a boss
together. Oh.
(02:27:48):
I wish it was raids like they could do it though They could.
Add it they could. They could, they could.
It's their game. They could change it into Lego
Marvels. They got they.
They can. Do it again.
No, I'm I don't play games like this and this I'm beyond they
got you beyond. I was this close to getting that
Wolverine costume, but then I said fuck you, you're not going
(02:28:10):
to get me. Wait till they had the next.
Game and then I'll be like, you got me.
I can care less about Overwatch,but I was like, this was done
very well. I want to get at least decent.
Yeah, You know, it's compared tolike pro players.
I want to get decent, now I need.
No, we need to go pro, go to tournament.
The fuck that man. Go to fucking Evo.
Fucking Vegas. This is the fighting game.
(02:28:31):
Kev fell asleep right there. We go Evo, we go Vegas.
Fighting games. Or whatever, whatever, whatever,
whatever has this. I just say this is great.
It's going to goat. I was going to great.
I gave it a goat. I gave it a great.
I gave it a goat also because it's the closest thing to a
punch. You gave it a great.
You gave it a great. What'd you say, Jay?
I played enough. There you go, you need a
tiebreaker dude. We got 2 goats, 2 grades I.
(02:28:51):
Would say. Great, That's fine.
I. Didn't play today.
Listen, great is not an insult by any means.
Listen, if I played in it made me play constantly over this
last week or whatever, I'll be like, OK, this is.
Good. I solidly disagree with calling
it great, but I'm not going to be bad.
I agree, and you know what? I don't disagree with GOAT
either. Potentially, but goat is.
This is just my own guy. I don't I disagree with great
(02:29:12):
but I'm not mad. Though I will never argue
someone saying goat. That's how they feel.
Presentation is no. Oh no presentation is the best
I've seen in the game, period. That presentation is ridiculous.
Oh my. God title screen.
Why is that not made into a show?
I don't fucking know. Well, we never know.
We never know. Yeah, get rid of what if.
(02:29:32):
Word, man, it's the last season.Calm down.
We don't. Need what if get out of here all
right y'all? The last game on the list.
Hold your freaking speaking man.Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Readers Rewind released December10th, 2024, Developed and
published by Digital Eclipse. Released on PS4PS5, Xbox One,
(02:29:53):
Xbox Series X&S, Nintendo Switchand Windows.
Go go, power branches. Get out of here.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We got that J, that J haters
there. It is, Sir, No.
I'm going to start off all right.
I'm going to start off OK. Game's five players awesome.
(02:30:16):
It's got the Power Rangers lore,awesome.
Combat, it's good. Laggy.
Needs an update. It's coming.
Update is coming, but it's very laggy.
Come on now. Come on now.
I think for PS5 it's here already, but Switch I think it's
coming within a week. OK, but I think the PlayStation
5 and Xbox already have the the fix for the lag and the combat
(02:30:37):
that was very laggy when we played the stages that don't
that you're on bikes and zords or whatever.
Very broken stages. I had a good time within the
first couple seconds and then itturned to be very broken because
there was just shit everywhere and it way too difficult, which
they said is going to be fixing the patch.
So I don't want to take it too seriously.
Also the Zord battles. I like that Zorba.
(02:30:57):
I thought that was a lot of fun.I have no, I have no qualms with
that Zord battle, except that wewere very slow to hit the Y
button. The the combat, it's good.
It's very good. Could be great.
So with all the the issues I have with the game, because it
needs to be patched and I alwayshave an issue with games being
released when they're not ready,it gets a goat.
(02:31:20):
No, I'm kidding. I get I'm joking.
I get I give it a good I give itit's a good game.
It's a good game needs to be fixed potentially could be to
very good, possibly great. If those things are all taken
care of, it could be great and we only played a couple of
stages, but it's a good game. We had fun, we were laughing and
shit like that, but there was a lot of play play issues that was
going on, but that was due to itreleased a little too early.
(02:31:43):
I'll go this game was it's superfun, but they need to release
that patch for the difficulty because there's no reason for a
game to be that difficult on normal.
Yeah, yeah. Where you're like, cuz, not for
nothing, all of us here, all of us sitting on this panel right
now. Yeah, seasoned gamers.
(02:32:04):
Yeah, we've played, we've playedNintendo games where you don't
have any continues right where you, where you can't, where you
got to start over if you die. This game is ruthless.
Yeah. Absolutely ruthless that that
those zord battles. I played it when I played it
during fight or Fridays. I we got stuck at the same part.
Well, the same part. And the funny things in the
(02:32:26):
patch notes, that's what they said.
They said these stages, they're fixed.
Like like, like they, they fix those, they fix the combat.
So, you know the up move you do yeah, you could chain those more
because the delay that the lag was so bad that you can't really
chain it. So like that was the problem.
So those things, all of our complaints that they said in
that we have are all in the patch.
So that's why I don't want to rate this too.
(02:32:48):
I don't want to rate the too critical because those things
should have been there. But I will rate it critical
because it should have been in the release.
As of now, what would you give it?
I'm a give it, I'm giving it a good.
It's still a solid game and I want to go back to it.
I want. Yeah, I want to play it again.
It was a. Good game.
It was a good game. So I got all right.
So rating it as it is right now,regardless of patches which are
(02:33:11):
much needed. The game was broken as we played
a lag was crazy. You can't have one second lag in
a finished game on a beat em up.I've never seen that in years
whether unless it was like a 3D O game like a broken game and a
game especially nowadays with how beat em UPS are they should
be at is like know how to have it.
They can't release it like that.I don't know what happened.
(02:33:33):
Maybe it was a miscalculation. They was bad coding.
Something happened, no one else really complained about it
online. I said who did anyone play this
with Lags like. It's the lag was and it felt
like that like we got like an unfinished copy almost at one
point I thought like and actually sticks.
You could attain it. You thought someone else was
controlling your shit. Yeah, that's how bad the lag
(02:33:54):
was. No lag.
I thought the same shit I want was significant lag.
I thought somebody took my controller like when.
You get your power up though, yeah, game is fine.
It goes normal. How do you get a power up to
make the game? I think that's the funniest
part. You get that, you get that
little power up and it gets rid of the lag.
Give me, don't give me the power.
Up make the. Power up the game.
That's the update they just madethe power.
Why? Like why so?
(02:34:14):
Yeah. And those stages, the the when
you're riding on other stuff, that's it's broken.
Like it's not because we we sucked.
No, the game was hard because itwas broken.
They started those. They just started off the way it
was supposed to, and then it gotweird.
It's something hell. Cause the map the the the screen
was moving to the side. And the pixelated explosions
would block everything that you're doing.
Well, five players, you're on one side.
(02:34:36):
The screen is like, Nah, you gotta go over here.
That's a patch the. Laser just shooting you off the
screen. I'm like yo this is bad.
Yeah, there were some things that were.
Jumps that you had to do during that is nonsense.
You should never put that in in that at all.
The cool thing about that is youdidn't lose energy for falling,
so that's good. Let's.
Take it out if that's the changethey don't even put it there,
but the fact that we couldn't get past that part regardless
(02:34:59):
and the fact that you have a certain amount that continues to
even get through the entire game.
If you run out of that, your game is over you got to start
from scratch. It's broken right now.
Listen, give me the patch fix this damn game.
I'm giving it a meth for as it is right now, we're just.
Giving it the first time we. Couldn't even get through it.
We couldn't even get through thegame.
It's broken. Give me a game that's good.
(02:35:21):
It has potential to be OK, good.All right, so you give it a meh.
It's getting a meh for me right now from you.
Yes, I need the. Update.
All right. What do you think, Kev?
I can't. Well, I I I see where Jay's
coming from with that. It's not, it's it's broken.
It's yeah, it's it's a sounds, it's a sound criticism.
I enjoyed it. I enjoyed what we played of it
so far. It's a little, you know, the
(02:35:43):
input lag is definitely there. Need time.
I give a good. I have a hard time giving.
Them it see the reason not to cut anyone else off, but the
reason I give it a good is because I know this isn't it.
You know what I'm saying? I know this isn't this isn't I
and I want to go back into it like if I didn't want to go back
(02:36:05):
into it, I would be like this shit out of here.
Also, the game I I disagree on saying that it's broken.
Yeah, there's lag. Yes, it was annoying broken, but
it's still playable. We still were able to get
through. If a playable a broken game.
No, the broken game to me, it was playable.
A broken game to me means that you cannot finish the game.
Like there's the levels not done, I can't progress.
(02:36:28):
Or because Scott Pilgrim. Yeah, when we got stuck, that's
kind of that's broke. Yeah, that's completely broken,
A glitch like that. But a lag like we, we made it
through. We couldn't have live.
But we had a game is broken. We had, we have an issue with
the checkpoints like sometimes Icame back in, yeah, we really
didn't know why. I was.
I had one life. Like I didn't get some of the
(02:36:48):
reasons why, yeah, I was able toprogress and the checkpoints are
kind of messed up. It's like, why we why we gotta
start all the way back from thispoint when we all this die?
It was. Like fix that and it's.
That's why I give it a good. It's because the the, the, the,
the, the stuff was there. It's just this like you guys
needed like another month to kind of make sure all these
little nitpick things were cleaned up so we could actually
(02:37:09):
enjoy the full experience because they had everything was
there presentation wise. It was good.
Yeah, You know what I mean? Like we.
Played this year though. That's the bottom of the tier,
right? Now, yeah.
That's the bottom of the tier. Whether it's good or bad, it's
the bottom tier right now until that update comes.
Yeah, I'm giving I. Can't recommend that people
right now. Chuck, what'd you give?
Good, good. Kev, you gave a good Ali.
(02:37:30):
He's going in the good. I I said good, also good.
OK. Jay, he's, he's not giving bad.
You know his criticism is valid.No, no, I won't argue that.
I won't argue what what Jay saidat all.
I mean, those are all very welcome gripes.
We all had it difficult like butwe were enjoying like the messed
up thing is like we had to get used to the lag, right?
That's you. You don't want to ever.
(02:37:51):
You never want to have to get used to the lag, but I was
getting used to it. And that that's, I feel
fortunate for saying that I got used to.
Eventually you do get used to it.
But yeah, but the patch, yeah. But when I looked at the patch
and they said you could actually, because you know, that
upload, that's part of what it'ssupposed to.
Combat's supposed to feel quick and fast.
Realize that there's messed ups.I'm glad that you realize that.
Hey, that needs to be fixed. Yeah.
(02:38:12):
It's something wrong the fun. As soon as I type that shit in,
I said if I do not see somethingthat says there's a patch being
worked on or it's already out, Iwould have been like, dude,
that's fucking crazy. And it's going.
Good for you. But yeah, I I think it's AI
think it's good. I think it's potentially could
