E3 2019 Final Review: Easy Allies x Kinda Funny - Kinda Funny Gamescast Ep. 225

What's up guys welcome to the E3 2019 in review kind of funny easy allies cross over spectacular go the exes Oh everybody let's go Brandon Jones on to get his one cool So video games right now the group man given friend Mary Bella a run for best hair in the business Don't say things you can't take back. Oh, oh, you're Red you know, it's not a snake. You have such good hair. I don't know what does that mean?

I was a hairstyle for like four years. No What could I do better? I don't see it run like man. I need to hear cut You like do you see like just the colors?

Easy We're here at the easy allies studio do you call it the studio? She's not part of it. I mean she's basically Frank she's waiting too far in the supposed to be back there taking her burrito now We just have the universal studios with the easy eyes studios back lot to her I want to have a man that goes down the hallway Comes out here's our one sink. Yeah, so it's Friday right now as we're recording this We just get the Friday after we three we saw the conferences we went down to you guys what the judges week before this then We just did all our appointments like you host the a play that was crazy We can show this we've all played a million different games of points and stuff then we came here and did your guys a show We're on that you can find that on youtube.com slash easy allies right there.

That should be fun But this I just kind of want to do like a wrap up overall. What did we think of this year's week, right Brad? I think this was my 6 e3 and I had a lot of fun It had a weird vibe though going into it because there's less big people on the floor I remember my first e3 was the hallway the Xbox the the PlayStation it was super epic Nintendo And now we're like there's so much just like small random like little businesses in there Like I can't like play a video game like okay There's just like a big open space or I'm just like kind of sad because there's nothing there But there's some extremely good video games at this e3 What were the top things that you saw probably seven do maternal right my top two man Talk about do but I don't think that we really on any of our shows got into that one the reason I have the switch right It's a doom eternal was still going. I got serious.

I gotta go Yeah Love doom 2016 then they just came back with doom eternal literally improving upon every single thing in the first game Yeah, the movement like dooms a game all about speed and movement in this game just takes that idea just runs crazy with it You could dash in the air now. You're going even faster. You're swinging around. You're not stopping You're like not something in this game.

So what I really liked about the stuff They show that the conference is it reminded me of a 3d first person Celeste in a lot of ways with the platform Yeah, a lot of like air gas is a lot of improving this constantly moving and that's insane. It works It feels really good super control You know first person yes, it's a platform for years is like yeah Well, I eat doom nails it perfectly really loved the grappling hook shotgun right shoot across you use it to shoot a Grabbing hook shot attached the demon pull yourself over that immediately shoot him with the shot awesome Yeah, I love it Just the game gives you so many fun tools to play with and all of them are super useful You don't like play doom and be like oh, I'm just gonna stick with this one gun the whole time I like this kind of doom. No, you're switching around you use everything in every situation awesome. I think about that He said yeah, I'm sorry seven is probably my favorite game of all time the original This game is the dream kind of like that.

This is like what Final Fantasy seven should look like to me This is what I'm saying should be in a modern day I love the term base battle But I think what they're doing with the bow system this game is exactly what it needed to be it felt great It's still tactical and just mid-guard it looks it looks perfect. Yeah, I was just blown away. I'm always like yeah I'm like worried about this game kind of you know It's multi-part that's a little worrying, but then I just see it and I see what they're doing with the characters and everything It's just it's just nailing it for me. It's getting people I think involved in the game like Brandon Brandon's a perfect example of someone who didn't really like Final Fantasy seven and he's in I'm liking remake or not liking seven really It was not liking seven not like seven but then it's him is sold beyond this remake as well The moment I think the moment when I went to slow mo's like The thing is the bow system the more I think about I was talking to Ben a little bit earlier about it And it's just so crazy having nailed it being an action game But like at the end of the day that the combat is not about mashing square No, it's not Kingdom Hearts or anything like that It's not and it's like you're kind of you go in and mash square to like do your sword strikes But the reason you're doing that is just to build up your your ATV games Which then allows you to use your magic and use your skills and that's where it's at It's like all of the slash slash that's not gonna take a like down That is totally not what the strategy is It's like you need to just use that to get your games up.

It's pretty quick It's like really fast and then it goes into slow mo and you can like change choose your your next moves So it's similar to bleeding edge right where we have like a basic attack But really you're doing it to build up your special Yes, it's like that But instead of it being like super fast-paced like platinum game style it turns from Kingdom Hearts style like slash slash into more of like a Traditional Final Fantasy, but it doesn't have that sense of like it's my turn it's my turn It's it's definitely like moments a moment you got to go and playing the demo a lot of enemies were really easy once you have the boss Though I was like there's tactics involved with this There was a lot more I saw a ton of people around us losing like they were dying at the boss and I was like that's cool that I it's It's not that familiar to play, you know, but then immediately it's like you wrap your head around and get the I didn't think about this but I was a big fan of our traveler Oh, yeah, and I just think I think that's one of those games where kind of like these gone words like I enjoyed this the sequel could be Oh, yeah, great And one thing that I think I was about that traveler did really well And I wonder if this also has a pay off in five- I've seen is this idea like you're saying of like mash mash mash mash save save save Something happens to the boss. We're like, oh, I'm weak for a second and then you know, just everyone do the biggest thing Well, that's the cool thing is I feel like I mean a wise how only having two ETV gauges, so it's like you can't stop off a whole bunch It's like at any moment you can only have two per character Yeah, and we the demo we did was buried in concert to care You can switch on the fly between them So if you do stock up you have the potential to use for special moves back to back and that was really satisfying really cool But eventually it's gonna be tifa added or whoever asked it In the meantime, you're building a great to the whole time. Yeah, so you got that to worry about and there's also the demo We saw they showed off a different like attack or like a mode you could put them in Yeah, I think clouds like punishment or something like that We had like he was doing more damage when he was attacking slower and you can also auto attack He got hit but if he got hit by a range attack he didn't knocked out of it There's a lot of strategy I was surprised how much strategy there was for again that seems like on the surface like a very just action Your slash it looks like it looks like that to you actually play where you just like sit there because I was playing and I was like Oh, I could probably just hockey everything and just get through this really quick and I have to actually cause it Then when I started playing I was like, oh, let me stop the thing for a second Oh, this is really great. I think they did a really good job Like it looks more like in a part.

Yes, but what it actually is is it's on the surface is that the moment you go a little deeper It feels like kind of the best of Augusty 13 and 15 Of course, I mean, you've been the staggering all that stuff and it's just like it I feel like all those games have to die so that this one can get it You know what I mean? It's like those games like I love aspects of them I feel like this one's gonna bring it all together and have the look in world in style of seven and that's gonna be Yeah, spectacular. Well, you're a big fan of Abbott children and Dirty service like the whole Just services like not a great game. It's not but I had fun playing it.

I like crisis core I like I'm so insane, but I love it I know Jones love me. I really enjoy it until actually yeah, I like watch it with a man I tell it was like okay, you're like a really quick 15 minutes. Yeah, because I got obsessed when I did the Fantasy Retro game trailers I was like okay I wasn't attracted to this purely because of style and it was so different from six that I kind of was like maybe I'll try I'm sure something else like some of our PGs that I miss that are more in line with what's six did but then like when I Kind of force myself to absorb all of it. It's like that soundtrack is killer.

Sephiroth is a character thing Really fascinating the world is really cool. Obviously. It's just got you know coolness everywhere It was a very stylized With a lot of intense and even though I just like it because it was so different from six It is very different from six. I could imagine people because I didn't play one through five I think I like knew of one and probably saw played but was not a fan of the idea Yes, we're six is so different too So I could see people who had lived in breeds that especially Japan, you know for one two three four five six They were like oh, yeah, this is a whole dead thing.

I kind of like it obviously I love that I'm just gonna came out just cuz I was like oh my god Yeah, see this is the real fancy And it's just there's what but I got saus beers with an audio I think you saw it I did not do theater I was in the Midwest with the Midwest I got X-Men vibes from the F and children because at the end when it's like the hommie pops up They're like all right we gotta take them out. Oh, yeah, I was like This is why I can't get this animated X-Men movie where it's not always just like one be one one one I know I want a group like I want you know You know, Galactus or like eight sentals to pop up and in the distance. I want to see Wolverine But they probably with the fun for some compilation stuff like reflecting now I feel like they really made cloud is just like emo hot topic kind of like oh wait And I love seeing this game not do that. Yeah, this is the jerk cloud that really cares about himself and no one else And they're doing a really good job at the dialogue with him and Barry Building characters expanding on who they were in seven as opposed to what they became.

Yeah, they don't like each other right now Yeah, which is awesome. Yeah, that's great. Do you think I'll finish it? Do you think I'm gonna eventually get all the fantasy seven out this is something Tim was talking about all the parts?

Yeah, I mean we got three 13 games. So yeah, yeah I think it's possible after that I was saying that was for that. Do you remember when 13 to it was like how it felt like a neighborhood full-scale? It was just like you know you do not know what yeah, I think it could be a long time It will be a long time.

Yeah, I think just waiting for those sales and then I think when those numbers start rolling in That's gonna be like green light. There's no way that might not have been given that much approval. There's no way This doesn't become the number one. I saw so how long is this first one gonna be they said is long like there's some as much content in this game It's like a normal fantasy.

So I probably 45 to 60 hours for it. Oh, yeah, I mean it's too blue rate is so it's gonna be massive Yeah, it's gonna be awesome It's interesting because like we've had so many amazing remakes even like reboot's a team-reader like which has been so many awesome opportunities this gen I was kind of on the gen is over one of the back it just like always franchise they came back Really fascinating. Yeah, it was a monster But that I've never really been interested in that franchise what was one Tails tails of a rise. Oh It looks really good in your argument here in your retrospective your building would you include God of War?

Oh totally. Yeah, yeah, because all of these things there's not a blueprint, you know So like they they chose to keep as much as they wanted and change as much as they wanted kind of like this You still get some people are like living it's not your name So it's like you're naturally gonna have that and there's no you know like right way to do this It's just interesting to see something like reasonable to man like I'm playing that just like I don't believe it like I did not My expectations were people know this I'm such a broken what they would change how good it looks the fact that it's like re7 and re1 remake And more than that's what I'm saying is like the 13 and 15 kind of die for this It's the same thing which is like this game feels like the re2 of Final Fantasy 7 where I think that they're trying to make a modern game and not remake 7 It's not just like doing it again So trying to take what made that one special expanding on it. They're not So my high-fruited the show is not not only just 7 which again didn't play but I'm familiar with you know So many aspects of it But just what this means for the whole concept of remaking something of this size I see them kind of blazing a trail here for you know Other than seven I mean obviously cyberpunk was just was just insane It was interesting because I don't know if it was fatigue or whatever but whatever like you know an ally would come by I'm like oh hey, it's even nice to meet you like what are you big fan of like I was just drunk like I'd be like man I don't know a lot of times like then I definitely do a turn all but like you know the two of yours Who excited for two maternal like it's been really fun like seeing these other big projects because like to be honest All I can think about right now is drink was supposed to analyze because they're so close Yeah, and so like we I can talk about breathable while to you I can talk about cyberpunk but like the moment like you know the dopamine kicks in and I kind of start to get hyped It's like yeah, I just pass cuz it's like where you can do it's like all those go six Right we enjoy ultimate lines seems like it's not really doing anything crazy. I'm like I know I want that right now Yeah, it's just another wrong way that's just junk food of beating things up and crates and seeing miles when I'm over In but that's good enough for me right now.

That's all I want to get to so so so the easy answer is fine I'm going to make cyberpunk like those two were the two games. I mean they were undeniably the games of the show Yeah, yeah, we bought one or one or one or one or one because it's weird like do maternal. I'm not surprised You know like from playing what I have of 2016 was very recent actually was like ten bucks on a black Monday in December And I'm like, okay, it's time and so impressed so different, you know again old and new everything wonderful and so it turned I came out like I bet this is gonna be great even able crossing I didn't know what they were going to do but I know I'm gonna play it I know they're probably gonna pull it off this way. They've just been done such a good job all other individual franchise I'm sure they're gonna bigger better, you know across the board But severing making cyberpunk I was like how can they improve upon the stuff that we've already seen like I was a little bit skeptical Just because there's so many different ways to go sure and it was me coming up But I was like wow you're the angel Especially I can't believe that I said the two almost hour long demos of that game of both of them just yeah Yeah, so different so like and it's fine talking to Ian because they brought up like the skill tree And he just like leads over to me and he's just like like I'm just like leave back to him.

I'm just like, you know like oh, and like he's gonna go street kid and I'm like corporate I'm going corporate baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Everyone's gonna go street kid. I'm gonna go like I'm gonna roll play the fuck out of that This game I really it's gonna be I mean every great RPG has those moments But I really am excited to jump ahead to you know whatever when we all beat in having this thing and sitting there and having that What did you do? You build it what did you do this situation you mean see that situation was it's not how we're talking about To briefly on your content right where we I didn't talk about that on the show But like really talk about like there's pivotal choices in that the drastically change it right and so the demo We saw we basically like do you want to switch these water pumps on yes or no somebody's long to you don't know who yeah Well, they switched on the water pumps there They drained this city and then it was a city full of new classes and things to go do well But I got any questions like well, yeah, like if I what the other way didn't drain the city is do I get that world?

He's like no you would never seen all this stuff that everyone smells like In a in cyberpunk what are the three different classes that you can choose Your point allocation it'll like average it and you're like you're a kind of just based on the points that you Yeah, but you know what what were the three backstories there was street kid no Matt That's what it was which is the main character we're seeing the protagonists we've seen about those trailers isn't no I think the when they had a two one or two characters is like an image of what that would look like he was the no man I'm not like Jumped in and I was like cool leads to assassinations and sniper rifles right and then it was like a body was had shotguns Oh my gosh, I see what you're doing and how this is gonna spiral out to what I actually want the front-run trail going to the person Things you want even just that time we all had different favorite moments Like my moment that was so funny and I thought was just a great job because like you know when like they're doing presentations And they try to like put a joke in there and you're like But like slow pain Well one gameplay bit was like a flat out loud when I saw the demos he switched over to the People care to get strength. Yeah, and he was like so now we don't have to hack this area That's to me like that's a good MMO when you're like oh, I'm gonna be like any MMO I'm gonna be a ranger if it's stealth and bow and arrows and I know that's me But you get a party and you see someone else and you're like oh, that's cool armor You're constantly like yeah grass so it's greener. I'm so satisfied with my experience, but oh that's so cool like that You know I really feel to be the first RPG in a long time that I have legitimately role play that I feel like I'm pretty star g's on making characters. I'm usually making Taylor Swift or I'm usually making kella Yeah, both of them are just good people gonna do the right things I feel like cyberpunk already is such a great area You're already starting from such a street punk street butter kid thing that is already putting you in a place where I'm gonna be the corporate Guy you try to make the right decisions the right decisions.

I'm gonna have to screw over somebody somewhere I do everything you guys put your three yeah, okay Yeah, there's like kind of that in which you can see like where it's being built up especially from like two Which is like one of two or like huge leaps and three's the hugest leaf and just how crazy Sarah look and how much stuff you can do like they're just going from like three to ten and like how much you can Yeah, I saw that skill tree and I was like good guy. Yeah, holy shit I just can't believe how the world seems to be so living and breathing. It's like that to me is next gen game I didn't believe them when they said that last year. I was like no, this is not current gen I'm like, I don't believe you because I don't believe you.

Yeah, I don't believe you They're like, oh, April or something else but one of my favorite part in this demo was they they walked into this like concert venue And then there was like a DJ performing and like there was a ton of NPCs like dancing around and stuff and the way that your character moved The crowd but people would move I believed it and I'm like they all look like different people They're not just rescanes over and over and it's like oh man And then you can leave and I'm like I believe that that concert still happened Yeah, like that's crazy, you know, I love you Yeah, when you walk in right and they're giving the speech and you see it translating words about people's heads Right because you know, sweet language you have the mod they're like, you know, you can not have that mod You can not understand any of this like I thought that was cool where it wasn't just like the stuff I was on the screen. Yeah, it was like kind of attached to the game So you would walk into a room and know everyone is what they're talking to each other But like if you hear it muffled out you would hear it in the room or like distant but being able to read and see it turns out like It's just so stylish and like every single decision It feels like it is to enhance the game and to enhance the experience of the user and it feels like every gameplay Like control option that you have is based on the augments that you have in character in the world It's like me and I hope to feel too like this grand because I just I Doral the world games and it feels like so is this a huge gap between the world and you like love horizon But you don't get this sense like no one is like a loy know everyone I want you to watch it like you're definitely like an outcast a weirdo and even something like GTA We're like you kind of blend in like my character models a lot better than these other characters and like they're just kind of wandering around Every GTA can ever play it like goes around the park in the middle of the night There's like ten people like what you would be here It's like it just it's it's the world is set up almost perfectly for me, but when I look out I don't get a sense of these other people right here And even if it's just like five seconds when I kind of hold out of that world like I remember this moment So that's where I get a sense of okay Here's how we could approve this like an X-Gen and like both of those demos it's for cyberpunk It's like you're a person that's just you are no more important than anybody else in this world If anything like you're caught like that concert and when you're like getting into the butcher You know like meeting that guy or you're going to people's offices There's a sense of like I do not belong here. Yeah, I'm not a lot on me right now And it's always like a little bit and I think that's been an interesting theme of these kind of games in the C3 where when you jump over to watch Dogs one of the things I talk about but it was most interesting was this idea of you know you're You're this team 20 there's three different classes everybody It's three perks but there's way more perks, but you have to figure out what she makes a match and they were talking about that I was like oh I have old team of enforcers, but they all have different perks and they're like yes, and that's exactly what we're trying to do here Like they said this game there is no savior for the same there is no one person that can do everything and make sure it has to be a team effort It's all it's a world right that's building into itself So you need multiple people different scale different else kind of do this yeah, you know And it's I got GTA 5 vibes from watch a legion like when they cut the hell in that demo She's just leaning on like the river looking out. Yeah, like oh You would switch Michael yeah, you have a park somewhere and so it's like love that when you see like sleeping dogs Maly like you'd have a game.

We'll come around it just nail one thing Yeah, and you see another developer like Okay, some point spider-man like I can't I would imagine the team working on ventures is like You know it's a little bit about how they handle those characters how they change stuff up based on a Seems impressions of it actually my name. Oh my god Oh my god, I'm so off track. Yeah, it's interesting bringing up cyberpunk and watch stocks together It's cool. We've never really seen that means before where it is like you're just you're not like I'm a character Like they're a little bit tight.

You are a little bit of people cool and with with cyberpunk it's crazy me where we've now seen two hour long demos that were totally different and I don't know that the final game is gonna be like this the entire time But I'm willing to bet it is because so far every single time I'm like I don't know It is yeah, but like it everything you do feels weirdly inconsequential like everything they're doing doesn't feel like it's part of this giant narrative That's a story, but it all seems interesting and it's like it seems like this game can I just have so many side quests I just quest everywhere. Yeah, they're gonna be a side question Yeah, the end of this latest demo finally got into like oh, okay. This is a big deal Yeah, now my character stuff getting The you know going into the There's more beyond the frontiers of this digital world. Yeah, yeah, yeah Main NPC we're dealing with It's fun.

That's that's like what I was looking for trailers demos and everything where it's like a clear understanding enough for me to know Where this project is at and then those couple little teases Man you're killing me with that extra stuff like again like with the ventures like that hand pen moment. They thought was that That was any other games that you played that we haven't talked about tones I mean, we played so much I think the one thing I haven't brought out is Catherine full body They should go over there and screw that I like to Catherine a lot back in the day off PlayStation 3 And I think one of the most exciting things is that they're trying to in a good way dumb this game down as much as possible It was happening with me as I was playing Catherine I was having a great time I was every familiar Catholic Yeah, moving blocks trying to get out of you know these dreams sequence you're a Horrible life where you keep on your girlfriend and she's pregnant and now this new girl won't leave you one now They're adding a third girl that makes you this week. All right game Anyways, I played it for you know the entire week We had it then went away for a week to some show came back and went back to it and couldn't remember the basics of moving the blocks It was one of those like I'm not sure we started to start this game So I never did I was excited about it to get another shot at a period But then on top of this they've added in two different there's easy mode and then easy difficulty I should say and then the other one is called safety and what both of these do is that if you get stuff by a puzzle You can turn on a play and do it like granted it would block out of a trophy But it is that thing of like just do it You can say actually you know what I want to do it I'm really Tender totally I do like it because it would have saved me so much time it would have also shown me like oh right That's how you do this That's how you learn the different skills that you're going to take next level And that was our whole thing I will teach you the tornado method all these different things about to move the blocks appropriately to get you this one spot So I was like you know it looks better obviously I wrote a question that's the you know the new in engine cutscenes because they're telling you now a backstory to Vincent and Catherine his girlfriend Catherine Telling a backstory of how they fell in love and what their relationship used to be like to give them more context for why I do this matters They should one of those it seems super cool. Oh, there's 13 endings now 500 puzzles.

They're adding in online multiplayer There's 50% more story like it seems like a really well done version of a game I think that was really good I love that listen to everyone's like just me persona. Yeah, exactly. What is this weird? Yeah, what is this weird relationship puzzle game?

So I'm excited to see that another shot at it. Yeah, yeah, one of the game that I played that we didn't talk about yesterday was Ghost Retime, oh, yes, I'm curious to get you're because you and I had a A Demo and what did you hear? We listening in when we talk about that? No, that was hands down the lupious impressions.

We've done any three Oh, you're playing here. So yeah, we were just it was hilarious I recall last night actually you do because we just rolled in one clip of B roll and I actually like download the clip from twitch put B roll when we were talking about something exactly the shot. Oh, yeah, cuz I mean we're just running down We get back. Yeah, I throw the hard drive the guys and run on the stage to talk about it But yeah, lots of crazy ups and downs It was one of those things was tough to communicate like what we did in the demo versus how I think I'm gonna play the game when it comes out Yeah, the demo was very we did a four-player situation was co-op there's working Characters you like my better names and like the guy leaving the demo like I was best silly the sniper Right, it's like I'm going through the game seems needlessly complicated Like it's do a lot in the day.

We do a lot now. It's what we talked about it's like we were like you were screaming Do you think I just wanted to take a break? Going and go and the guy the main leader would be like oh well I didn't finish that right away well and then you would just move to that say teleport to my position on the map But we get there and he was immediately rushing I'm like what do I do? I was really weird There's a lot of been game-based I was there trying to show off and like it maybe it was just like a bad demo I was I was showing it because like I didn't get the the grasp of any of it And I felt like the controls were weird where you'd have to hold L1 to kind of cycle through a little commercial like it's just where there's like a wheel that has your weapons and your items on the same wheel Okay, but then you need to hold on one and then no And then you start don't because it's just your inventory Yeah, and then you use the right stick to kind of like go wherever you want Then you have to hit our one to like select it as your The thing that you're trying to do then you have to get out of that and then you have to hold our one to go through the Animation of doing whatever weapon or syringe or bandit or whatever And it's like it's trying to be realistic.

It's trying to be like oh Like you know whatever it's like to equip the rocket launcher. It's not just hit why and it's like gun change, you know it is It's just enacted and it takes forever. I mean if you accidentally let go of our one He stops there It stops then you got the other gun equipped the rocket launcher's gonna do it again to pull it out And like that stuff was really really weird. There was one mission There was a lot of fun though where we went out it was the four of us and there was like this high-tech tank There was like deploying drones everywhere and we all have rocket launchers equipped And we needed to get like four different corners and surround this tank and like three two one go shoot shoot Like started rocket launching the hell out of it and it felt so good to see this thing explode and all of us I kind of be around but it felt very contrived in the way where I'm like I don't think that that moment would ever happen in real life Yeah, like I don't think that any group of friends are gonna be that coordinated casually to be able to make that moment feel that cool See that was my problem with the rich world that there's with wildlands where we went to that E3 demo And we all run comms and we're being met by red leader Whoever was and we were a sink and it was great.

This is really cool And then we got it at the office and did the party mode it was all right Everybody just shot a goat. Oh, they heard it. No, this is how I got all right But what's going on? Like I played single player 100% the whole thing Yeah, I think I like you know played you know just to check it out I did one stream with you And I might have jumped on to try like the else you're something else But this reminded me what we're reminded me of a lot was the I Expected a bit more of a jump from wildlands.

I feel like this is a side step If not even a little bit worse than what you're gonna play with wildlands where you know We had a sassen screen origins and then it went to a sassen screen honestly and it's like it seems like everyone's like oh my god Odyssey is huge step up from from origins. I wish that was true a lot of people are Yeah, but thinking back to like the older sassen Street games, right? Yeah, where it's like someone's like a legion's coming out It's like which one was that one? I don't know it's like this feels like the sassen community of ghost recon I want the Odyssey you want to show it just like it was weird John Berg all school but like was he dog me?

Not we didn't see his dog did not see I was confused that you stuff was dog us cute dog adorable dog But was he just like hey guys couldn't find a dog center? I think it's like an emotional support. Yeah Really? I don't know who dropped that.

I forgot we said that to know somebody was in it I'm an Ian and said he worked on some commercial shoot or something for walking dead when the first Season happens and he showed up the event he had two dogs and he was like he had two dogs at the time But yeah, he's like his spirit You can tell also from like you know as people I don't know how my dogs a little it's also smaller But a little bit taller a little bit more of a cable getting in trouble the portty is sure that No way could I bring Sophie out on a crowd like screaming like that like so when you see a dog that's like I'm good He can do whatever and I will be right at his legs. That's not just like yeah my pet that's That's awesome. I wish I would when we came out of it. I was like oh the dog's in the game and then we watched the footage I was no dog in this game.

Yeah, yeah, I was definitely a weird demo and I didn't leave impressed From from that one and honestly like I feel like the way the demo was done I was like this is bizarre. I was like many people you don't want to be here right now. Yeah, it was weird I yeah a lot of things was funny for me because we got it and it was like just a crazy month And I remember like you do this and like no And I'm like I'm probably gonna finish this game and then I like I played a little bit more I was like you know could review it I don't know I might stream it never streamed it But then play the entire thing because I just I kept like wanting a little bit more and I loved the systems of how you like took this drug Heart tell them that was really satisfying like I don't know if you played fucker five Like when you would finish one of those like three areas like you just didn't feel the satisfaction like it would conclude in an arc You're like well I care just dumb like I'm just not I was never intimidated by them and like that final boss fight with them It's like whatever and while I tell about it does enough them And so it was the same kind of like impact but there were so many of them that they were different enough that it really felt good Like I am you know you could get a sense that the other people that were still live were pissed Yeah, I do it was a team Ghost are just wrecking us. Yeah, and so I like to when I first saw the trailer They set up like really focusing on the villain.

It's like I bet it's pretty fun to like hear him over the radio I'm like, yeah, you're like, I took out your commander. Yeah, so none of that was in there Like that vibe just wasn't in it and so many tools even like a campsite. Oh, neat And I'm like looking through the menus and he's like, okay, let's go like I love to just have time And so it's it's tough again back to this name of like what do you show what you're you bringing? Yeah, how do you how do you isolate it and like you know on one hand?

It was kind of frustrating it just like you know like I try to wrangle this host and you'll follow him around it Yeah, but at the same time if you are that person representing the company like when you want to show as much as you can Well, think about it's for people who've never played the game before what if there's the one person who doesn't want to Look through their menus, right? You have a frame here by look once you for 40 minutes I feel like the other thing I like least about was like how realistic it was trying to be because I feel like that's not Fun for this type of game where it's like it's so cool to come up on a camp You're like how are you gonna do this what I mean? I see those guys over there. There's borders over there.

We're gonna take down. Let's go but like it reminds me a lot of like Just cause I'm like just like just cause awesome. It's like it's fun. It's crazy It's the same idea but like it's really not the windows.

It's more fun Yeah, and I feel like this like has elements where I'm like the rocket launcher stuff It's like that is cool as hell, but it's like it shouldn't feel this like You know, you know in division Greg when you go out when you clear your life to say I know when a room ends in division You're like we smoked that like they didn't stand a chance like that's ghost reconferement You know, it's like when you finish one of those missions like yeah like that It took a little more setup than we had than the time we had in that demo Yeah, whether you talk about yourself and you just literally pop the drone target every single person get through an entire base without anyone Seeing you there. Oh, it's like I took an hour 15 minutes, but that was great And yeah, just not demo that way. Well, the business really come across initial reports are putting bam bam It's just one of John's three rescue people. Oh, okay Move on to hear more about the lore bam bam.

All right, it's gonna seem like I'm just telling you facts I'm already getting to interesting side It may not shock you to find out that his love for animals is genetic John Bernthal's father is the chairman of the board of the Humane Society of United States who he is part of without PSA against animal cruelty Well in addition to his HS us the 40 year old actor has become one of the many faces of the majority project a nonprofit animal farm Foundation the goal of this campaign is to shine a light on the breed with positive images from others while Bernthal likes to focus on peaceful side of these animals he himself has gotten physical over them in an interview the actor admitted that in 2009 he knocked a guy out cold once the bent his dog boss the guy was drunk and had followed the pair after being Worn not to touch the pitbull of the encounter ended with the Bernthal handcuffs and while he's not proud of the fight It's clear nobody should try to mess with this man I'm gonna lie Sean wait You want to like Like I'm you know I live in the you know Southern California like West side LA like so many people don't leash their dogs. Okay, and then dogs like what's going on? And I'm like hey, so he's not cool on the leash. Yeah, I'm gonna be fine.

I'm telling you she's not I'm her owner You don't know her maybe listen to me before he forces there. Okay. All right. All right I'll be walking in people's dogs are coming at me.

I'll move or pick them up and they'll be like oh my dogs nice They go mine is not yeah, mine is asshole. Yeah, like you see you know porting is like yeah This is an angel yeah, I'm a being but it just in some situations I know the pooches, I don't know the pooches. I don't know the pooches. What were your favorite dogs any three?

That the one it goes wire that was your heart though the she Dog with a leash because I'm so morbid man. Like I think of the most creepy dark scary stuff sometimes Because it's fun and like I'll be walking Sophie and I'll walk her at night like right before I go to bed and I'll always have that Like hey with I get hit by a car. I get mugged or something happens like my neighborhood It's pretty chill, but I just I have this idea of just like a man here embarking and like their so few Some happens so that hit me rent a field But it implies everybody that woman who fakes like having a heart attack or whatever where she's walking her dog on the track and collapses But she's filming in collapses and the dog just keeps on going I imagine that's what porting the door and porties eating your face I thought you were gonna say watch dogs Fishing I Oh I was trying to find the name of this game I still can't fight it So some of the comments of sure will be able to help in the indie section of the three where I play kill a queen black Sure, there was this game with an amazing art style like cartoon look hand-drawn and it was about dogs You are the good boy and like it's adorable looking dogs and that I was just watching someone play but it looks kind of like if the battle system of South Park fracture but whole and like a tower defense game kind of had a baby and You're just like there's a bunch of dogs that were like on this like wall and like enemies were coming towards the wall And you need to like use south park style gameplay to stop them from getting there without being overwhelmed It just it looked awesome your dogs and the type ones you are the good boy. That sounds really awesome I wish I wrote the name down because it looked really good, but some I thought I thought that's what's so funny about the showcase in the PC gaming show was we finished and literally they would just End we'd be like, okay.

All right. That's like okay first game is this That's not so far clear, but that's why we decided to have a be a YouTube video We're like we know if you just remember that there wasn't even just always go back and pause and like say you're Twitter feeds on it. Yeah, but that's always always sorry. So I guess me that actually press conferences What do we think overall what the best ones or how were they overall?

I think Nintendo was my favorite. Yeah, I'm That breath of wow reveal at the end. Yeah, that's what that's like what we always want from a press conference It's just genuine surprise. Yeah, that's pretty good.

So a lot of gameplay I I really get annoyed when we see games and we don't know we don't learn anything about it But I like what you guys did because you did talk about the game was which is great And I feel like Nintendo showed that I know like they didn't give us like enough ammo crossing Jones and stuff like that I need to do the treehouse, but I wish there was more in it But sure I thought there was more and I still got what I wanted. Yeah, premise I knew They always do the pat on the back moments about themselves for like 10 minutes about how rad they are and it's just like Stop it. It's not Todd. It's okay.

I'm just getting all your system But then they show me like hell yeah, we're getting a lot of shit for being as positive as we are about But does it's fine? I mean it's fine, and I think that like the thing that we stand by You deserve really so The addition of two new IPs with that loop and The Things I love like there's some good stuff in there, but they're just stuff they do So what I just I do remind me of hitting every red light, you know And like you're so close to home and you just hit every red Well, I'm on and you can see all the greats great green and you hit one red and they all turn right down the road Which is speed bumps, you know just like hi on the person from this game applause where we have this idea that we want to do For this game more applause and then we thanks to our community more okay more They just like to pick one thing to apply show the table For this one so swears conference I thought had really really high highs and had a lot of really bizarre Interval drag quest builders trailer literally clocked in over five minutes Dude, I love that trailer though because it talks so much about the game That's not like that's dry across Bell that It should be so guy going crazy about drag was builders man You're a minute though I talk about builders I talk about builders I don't see it I don't see it You're half a little insane from the sister Yeah, when we ended the conference we were talking about I'm hyped out of my mind about my fantasy little let down by But I'm not so at least there was like lots of talk about and it was me ending great to watch it And like I was obviously way higher than they were because of Final Fantasy 7 yeah, but there was so much JRPG stuff in the middle so many for so many remasters so many like things that like it was overwhelming was like I didn't understand most of them, but then it's a promise the AIDS finally being a master That's insane and I got out of me. It's a matter of them So I feel like I was higher on the conference as a whole where they're kind of like yeah Yeah, what'd you think about the middle because I feel like you I'm trying to learn how big they announced the monocollection I think which is really cool I'm actually just like games like that are kind of like obviously eight like it's finally happening Yeah, and it didn't look just like an up-res So here's how square went Final Fantasy 7 remake life is strange crystal chronicles octopath last remnant remastered Dragon Quest Builders 2, Boom and Mary. Oh no this Dragon Quest 11 Then the Square X collective stuff Italian 1944 whatever That was weird Square X music King of Hearts whatever Final Fantasy 7 this is my note So I'm actually 14 Shadow Ringers dying like to romancing solo 2 and saga Scarlet Saga Final Fantasy Brave Exist and War of the Visions Outriders people can fly Oni and Naki and Final Fantasy 8 and Avengers Outriders have weird showing It was a new idea though at least like I think that's exciting The thing I liked about it is it was like a book and kind of started out real hype You know what hype thing you ended with something everyone was hyped to see it didn't go the way everyone wanted it I think that was like a wise decision to like have the two big ones at the end I love the middle I like just like the smaller games and a lot of them are just like It's out now it's coming out real soon just a little stuff like that But it is hard to like be really into it if you're not into the games Yeah, wait your other second I don't really care about the game Yeah, it's like I totally understand that It's weird because it's like how many fucking Final Fantasy you get into Final Fantasy?

This is a JRPG company right here so we're all hyped about it right It gets weird though because Square I feel more than any of the other developers Definitely people that do the press conferences don't have the identity problem of the western side versus the Japanese side Where it's like for years anytime they've been talking about Tomb Raider or Day of Sex or whatever I would be like where's Kingdom Hearts? Yeah, where's Final Fantasy? Square is like sometimes loose in that like I think they've gotten better over time But they've definitely had missteps where they're just like If you don't really care about it's like okay, I guess like Day of Sex is really cool and I like Tomb Raider But it's like it's not like your main core audience But see that's the weird thing about this conference is it is what happened there And it's like but you can't please everyone because there's such different groups That's why you just gotta be who you gotta be And that was the thing at the end of it. It wasn't even so much I felt like it is an it isn't it is right?

We always try to separate. Hey, what are we fans of and what are we trying to critically analyze? I thought it was just like these things that we went through they were long and confusing Outside of not being necessarily a fan or having a scholarship or That's what Amy I think we're talking about in terms of like a droopy midsection Like I you swear is just the JRPG company and they are like, you know, meaning on that Totally beat yourself do these things. I just think again like Dragon Quest thing There's a better way to present that.

The confusing message on some of the remasters There's a better way to present that. Sure. Japanese marketing in general especially when it comes to like DLC or projects that you're already familiar with Seems to almost be catered like straight to people who love it. Yeah, you know and that's something where I'm always Totally kind of criticized or this again might just be you know, different so major Just kind of me like with the big inception wall Like the trailers that were working were used to in states.

Yeah, so Kingdom Hearts 3 DLC. Yeah, we mine Right. What did that do for you? Because honestly, it turned me off a lot So it seemed like just different perspectives of the story and I was like, okay, that's like cool I guess but I kind of like I hope there's more to it than that.

Yeah, but it was the same trailer We saw the night before pretty much I was like, oh why they do this? Yes, I didn't watch the fantasy 7 or in the hearts of it Okay, I was like I'm just gonna watch them in the thing Like the Kingdom Hearts thing happened and I'm like how is there still no sound effects in this trailer? I don't know why they do that. It's so bizarre.

I don't know if it's so bizarre. It's like a memorial call or something but like it's so weird. The song is more popular than ever. But they even had the song to this one.

Yeah, I thought that was really weird. I'm not that excited to go back to it if that's what they're showing it. It was happening fast and we were kind of talking stuff. I didn't even really realize what was new.

You were playing as much of different characters. There was some new cutscenes. Yeah, but the cutscenes I recognized but like the gameplay I was like, yeah, we did that. I was like, oh, you play this different character.

I don't know why I need to do that though. Sure. Yeah, that's where like to me this is for like the Di-hard crowd. The DLC fans playing as Roxas and stuff like that's like I'm a big fan camera.

It's like that's exciting to me but I totally get like people in the outside. Who cares? Yeah. Like people like I think people just want to say like new Disney world.

That's where people get high. Like Star Wars or something like that. That would get people to pop off. I'm a fan of Kingdom Hearts.

I'm not a hardcore fan of Kingdom Hearts. I would even take something that is the Kingdom Hearts crazy organization with 13 stories. But like give me that. Don't give me like a weird side part of this.

Hopefully there's more to it. I don't need a reminder that I just played. You're great. You're so excited.

I just I think there wasn't a you know it was felt like a miss was gears. Not not what they brought it to show. We were on stage with Mary a game spot. That was our game.

So it's like I know that there's just a skate play. Yeah, yeah. And I'm a budget that's really dug in that game. That was what we need.

Weird trailer. I imagine that's a that's a mode that probably scales really well. Difficulty wise. I got a few cranks gave up to the top.

That's pretty hard counting. Like we see in a green smoke and just having like any time about it. I know where but just sold stuff really weird that Barry Friend trailer was so weird. So weird.

Like and the we'd smoke going in the stage to say tune in later. Yeah. That's like testiles. Just be like.

It just was just weird. And the talk about. Like why do we waste time? The lowest I got in Square was just this isn't for me.

Whereas like gears kind of get below that a little bit of like what's going on. It should be for me. And it goes back to what we were talking on the easy out of the show about like the production value of press conferences. And the moment that you have these big stages of like people coming out and things happening.

You're raising a standard for how you can present stuff. And when the camera spun and went into the stage and there was the smoke. I was like this is fucking cool. Who's under there?

What's about to happen? Like are they are they are they revealing? Not Keanu Reeves. But like that type of moment where it's like who's in gears that we don't know about?

Or it needs to be a person. Like what is happening here that's going to be cool. And it was just a wonderful TV. Oh and there was a goofy Terminator tease at the end.

Which I don't like. What the hell is this? It's just like I think what? What?

Gang, gang. Very bizarre. Any other favorites from the press conferences? No I just I just said it like to me it almost evolved kind of perfectly throughout the weekend.

They're just kept getting like better and better and better. Mm-hmm. You'd start you know super low with the a play really knowing host very few amount of games. Yeah.

And then you finish up with Nintendo like just properly packed and tightly. And that was really great. If you guys had to rate the conferences what do you think about your deal? Like a letter grade?

I can't know. I mean like Nintendo was my favorite and I think square after that then I like that your guys is a lot I like the PC one Then it was like I think I think Microsoft weren't the best though. Yeah, but yeah, it's like Microsoft just kind of boned me out gears Like I've been I've played all the years. Oh my K You've got really got to sell me on years five right here like it doesn't say I'm not like super just didn't like this is your chance to show me like what's really rad about years five And they did like a goofy CG trailer.

Yeah, dude. What yeah, I think it goes Nintendo square. I'm gonna pretty big drop But that's the Microsoft you saw Presented very well everything else was like I mean that's why I'm always just gonna I'm gonna just damn you all the time with random ass showcase questions So fascinating to me to have this idea of when you have that thing packaged when you do a rehearsal and you walk out It's like like that. I imagine that's got to be near impossible to know Oh, like this is gonna land really well.

This is gonna hit Like a solid like a shoe For me, I actually get a little standoffish with celebrities We're like when I play like when I play like the telltale game of thrones and like door opens like It's you but not and especially if it's like celebrity here MPC there and make up your mind like you want all the other And so I could you know potentially see people kind of turned off We're like wait, I don't need celebrities in this game. I really love it If you come out and kill it on the stage of person Yeah showing true excitement in there one of the interviews that's gone up recently I saw today foot around was like maybe he's legitimately in love with this project and yeah I was expecting you know what this means and he knows what games are already knows how cool this game could be Like that mean that was so much further than like I don't know I'm trying to a shit, but like when we did Final Fantasy uncovered right and like we had he was there like it was very much like Looking at the thing like the both points. We just find a book But they also be very clear like crystals are I've always been very important to fight I get the crystals or some how sometimes in Final Fantasy, but would you ever associate crystals in Final Fantasy? I mean to me, but I wouldn't like present that The crystals are the main stream actor and the universal means Yeah, obviously there's a tie of course but the prodigals the 13 trilogy sure I don't like that you would like to know what not to name drop because I know he's good friend here But I tended great job during Xbox like if he comes out and it's tough because you want to make the jokes God, what was the the difference between NPCs and RPGs at stadia?

You know, it's like hello fellow gamers like just I respect you wanted to try it It's such a difficult thing to do and I love him coming out being like hey if you need to make a Halo crap Because that's what everyone's thinking. He's addressing the elephant room, which is oh no What are they gonna make now? You know, and it's like you know, if you like broken age or not Even if you know where it's second on Spain or not because my deepest life or Delafine was way back You know, so it's neat to just kind of make a joke that okay, yeah We talked about a little on your show we didn't get to this point the funniest thing about Tim Shafer is he started our Showcase. Yeah, and we did the joke thing about the pretentious opening What Wednesday or no Tuesday or Monday something like that.

Yeah, right before it and it starts with what is you know It's Tim Shafer talking. We didn't know about the Microsoft thing and then when he comes out on stage We're just like well, I guess you're not I just think yeah, there's no I don't think there's a sure thing. I think there's any way you can set up a conference like that I know 100% which is my direction. You know, where they Is it good like directs the last one to do it sometimes directs?

Well, I guess I have a menu we'll be like oh coming up next thing and so that works sometimes it kind of kills the The anticipation that stuff coming later, but again, it's that expectations, right? I think that's the biggest thing when you talk about what we did with the showcase It was the idea of messaging it early on that we are doing an indie showcase because most AAA and double-a have somewhere to go Or have their own food and it was like this is what it needed to be and we needed everyone to understand from the get that We weren't going to have a tell us how walking that announcement that we weren't going to have something exclusive from judgment this time around And we would have loved to have that stuff, you know, I dropped all these indies like a bad half With it it raises the value of every total right like I think that's really cool I hope that we can do the showcase and be able to have moments that are genuine surprises But at the same time still have everybody understand, you know, what we're trying to do We're faster you guys do the showcase the less time people have to complain about it Exactly, yeah, because they're just like I think they spent a new game. What's that? Yeah, well, that's what you're talking about the jokes like Tim Schaeffer on stage It's like that's something we take really seriously where you know We do all the like interstitial stuff to kind of segue between the montage of the trailers And that's a big focus for us We're like we cannot be on camera for more than 15 seconds and everything we're saying if we're making jokes that's fine at their inside jokes That's fine if they're jokes whatever everything we're saying has to have a point for what we're using It's like right the joke needs to be over interviews and puzzle games It needs to be about puzzle games to understand the jokes about games that are coming out today We need to like set that up and it's like everything needs to have a purpose That's not just we're trying to make you laugh.

Yeah, the moment I do that you're not gonna make people laugh the my number one rule with press conferences that every time it happens I like it's just furious scream at the screen is just like all right now everybody doing it It's like never actually I can't answer the question. Yeah. What are you West? Yeah?

Yeah? Yeah, just like that. I just feel less but that's it. How many fall out fans we got out there just like just No, I want to say because like we did the show case but great also mostly EA play and It's a fan of it.

That's like a totally different. It is a benefit But there's still people at home watching it and when great comes out and he's like what's up everybody? Hey, you're like who's the star was better? You're I'm like people at home.

It can come across weird because it's like why is we're screaming so much before the normals? It's like there's a group of people at the audience of potentially hundreds of people in front of him But he's engaging with and that might not be coming across the live stream Right, but it's like that energy's necessary That is the best way to do this and like that's hard to get across when you're not seeing audience with the audiences it might correctly like that's the Sure, our first anniversary show that we did people like out mad at the audience because they're like cheer louder now It's like we're Mike's yeah, like and that's why we talk to the live shows We always like the other words for EA play for any of these things that I do with a live audience It's always a comp check. Oh, man. The crowd's dead and it's like no you're there and they're awesome It's just that that's not how there's such a difference between the production side that people are trying to put out and then the hosting side of what you're trying To get because it is that if the energy in the room sucks the content on stage will suck I will get in the head of whoever's up there And so you need to have that balance and try to find it But then it is that once you're screaming and it's like well I'm trying to get them hype so that this continues to be high because when you're into the EA play hour two and a half and nobody's Every single hands and nobody cares like that gets reflected in the content Everything and just divide just feels that way at every moment stuff when you're on stage starts to feel like an eternity No, we just like it's like that awkward conversation whereas if we're having fun It's that it's different the best thing I've ever learned from you is hosting panels great comes out given secrets I've found but every single panel break house You'll come out and be like who here's better to a panel before people start raising their hands and he yells at them all It's just like no you've been to bad panels.

I want to hear you Who here's been doing? It's like that sets the tenor for what the show's gonna be and I feel like that really does like help and have a But I can understand if you're watching that from home you see like this guy's a douche nozzle I'm not sometimes happens behind the scenes, which is nice. Yeah panels different I have to do in the moment Yeah, but for EA play they let me go early. There's the same thing.

Oh, yeah That's why like there's a great twitch clip that somebody broke out where I've forgotten exactly what it is But I basically I'm like oh I got a little kid I like that and it's because in the live section before he was one of the kids I called out because I was like I'm crazy in the kids just like I'm like you have to go crazy You know the context of something I like this little boy That's pretty good. That's so fun But I think one of the important things Greg and I mean this is really you are kind of a douche nozzle in that you do have this air of like And that's that's what I think is interesting about you Greg It's you're kind of like there's just so many qualities to you like you do have this sense of professionalism You do have this issue you do have the knowledge but you are a goof You know like it's kind of everything all at once like this kind of disarming of like like you know If you're not into you know what I mean if you don't believe that I'm excited for it Let's just still be excited because we're here And I understand for as long as I've been a little host or whatever I you've seen it you we've all seen a host who is clearly Faking it yeah, and doesn't go to talking about it doesn't really care like that's the thing where with me I just growing like fungus you know I hate me when they see me but then over time like he's not Faking you know what I'm favorite my favorite great mother host moments was the premier of Batman telltale sure at comcon and You come out and you're in the blue suit and you they were running on PC It did work and you're like this is why they need to know it's like you think about that It's like wow this is what like here's this guy in this thing I mean you imagine the horror you know just the you start sweating you know Damn it we have all these fans at comicon and like all these Batman nerds are in this room It's not working and then you're like I'm gonna take this even further like questioning your planning for this event in the first place But it's like that's kind of what I want people to lean into like that's that's what you should do in that moment It shows like levity do you want human? Yes? Hey, I'm in the same position.

You are on piss isn't working I want to see this anything it's making content comes back around to positivity where we're all we because you start to feel this Uncertainty uncomfortableness like where's this coming from it's coming from the fact that you want it to go well And so why yeah, but it's not what are we gonna do? Let's just move on like make it cool. Yeah, you freeze up That's the worst thing you can do that's why people keep ironing me It's again like all the lights you go off everything that happened I'm gonna be a rock for two hours by came to light and it could be entertaining I can feel time or something Oh I'm never told is they had me when I was out there doing all stuff They had me eventually they have one more thing for you to do and it was a piece of paper They handed me it was just an audio read that case it all went down. I'm gonna say went down They could hit this button and it would just be me like the Like we're having some sort of streams on down right?

I'm talking about these movies back as soon as possible and I have you do like just two years like I can't Want for myself, and I'm like, yeah, I was like, hey everybody I was like, hey, you know what the stream's gone down Oh my God, what are we gonna do? We probably won't we won't use any of these Yeah, it's it's interesting because there's always I feel a three much more than other because we get this like lead in I remember the first each way ever went to a game trailers as we showed up and was like trying to get trailers, you know I'm sorry, I miss this one trailer was out of the trailer like I was at the Microsoft first concert I'm like what you missed your day late You know like they started three a couple days ago. Oh, it's like 2002. It's like got it So the next year we were like ready like a Yeah, you know invites to any of these things, you know really bring your company And so there really is like just kind of three phase process of like we get all the hype going That's its own total thing So I have this whole idea of what Final Fantasy 7 remake is and then I sit down with you and I talk about your impressions Okay, that changes and then the whole thing's done And now your head's just swimming from all of this stuff and then all of a sudden this kind of cream rises to the top You realize like wow, you know, like really was special Like wow, they think like wow you do a turn really good showing like wow it was a lot more surprised by Like to then I expected to be I just kind of wait I'll probably play this I played that island and you know if I play that island I'll play that island I'll play that island and I finished an island Technically I could do anything like I'll probably consume it and so it was interesting having these press conferences kind of Go underwhelming missing so much especially that press movement I last year if I had 20 minutes I'm just like into hard come out again I would do like and because it was short about a time with it before you know like probably have to get the Control somebody else so I would do there was one time I went back and I just won't I didn't do anything I literally just for 15 minutes straight just going and going and really getting actually Brian sat down with me and really Getting like how do I gain speed while I'm going?

Oh, I'm like picking that up And so that was missing and you know that kind of sucked at the same time like I only wish we didn't talk about is the project I'm curious about like did not show well like the demo It does not feel well gun plays not great and like I'm hoping that they turn things around with that game I think it's everything that I saw or played that was the only thing that I came out a little bit disappointed I mean, I'm interested like people were but So it's like disappointed that we didn't get some of the press conferences that we want EA played my mind I'm not frustrating because you gotta travel so much so check it out and like leave the show like I want to be so So packed in there Yeah, I'm gonna devolver across the street But I think you know we can talk about that first half but of the stuff that I saw at the show man And all the things that I just kind of absorb people like doing This gen is gonna wrap up the bag. It's just we're gonna see some really exciting stuff I think like you know really looking at it because every time it was a weirdie for you know It was not a well meeting through you know, it was good. It was good. But it really shows us what we all know Yeah, I mean like Like how good games are like literally where like you think we talked about it right where it's like you look at the Nintendo Direct and you think back and compare that to anything like think about what my sister is like they there's 60 games I'm like right there's all these games in Nintendo and it's like we're just being like man wasn't it I didn't know that was gonna That week yeah the more I think back on the press numbers more all of them most of them I actually really like them a lot more than I think I was on you about this is like it was so hot And I'm just like you know, they see like I was so much more tired than I would want it to be I love reacting to press conferences like I love watching I love like seeing the production same together And it's like this you felt often like if it wasn't because this week three was worse It was just like I feel like I had some personal shit where I was bringing into it was just hot Yeah, I was more tired.

So like I was watching our live reactions to the channel like that's how I reacted to Zelda That's crazy, but that was really really awesome. I love how they did that. I that was all I'd want to see Right now, I don't need to see more right now There's it leaves you with questions One of the things that Keanu one of the things that reason that hit so well with Keanu is T sat down, you know That was like we gotta do this. You're like, oh, I have a little a I've got like it Just there was the second you didn't know and then the second you knew and Zelda was like they started bringing in more people as it went on So like I imagine there was some fan out there like you know, Illinois who literally just saw like a green thing It was like yes, you know, I knew right way I like the rest of it I think it's neat, but I think it's just it's still when you talk about reaction specifically though Oh, it wasn't a young moment different moments like Ben new and then Donnie nodded and then the rest of us knew so that wasn't that because like you can literally hit the Frame where all of us are like what was that like on Keanu?

Sitting at principal seven So I think I would have loved if it was like really mysterious and obtuse and then there you know, there's not good like Oh, it's that animal. Oh, okay, you know, I got that and with the title screen to show the down and on like that is weird like But just showing working play or showing that the game okay, but I enjoyed that now. We know it's like, okay It's a very dark game. It looks just like a while looks like it's the same world is Zelda also playable is there's questions?

I'm happy I don't have the answer to that actually on games. I wish there were more clues and that was office There's tons of clues. They're like they're the hieroglyphics on the wall like there's a lot of stuff to the hand and Like I was well assuming that's going and we don't know you know, that's exciting man. I love that but anyways, anything else We covered about 20% of you I really just miss and all the big boys the big three being in the same hall.

I really missed man I feel like a lot of excitement is just kind of gone I feel like there was like a level excitement I was like far beyond anything when they're all three in the same hall it feels like you're in the middle of their war kind of Going there's nothing like it and I just feel like EA's gone out to just miss everyone being in the same area together Everyone's just spread out and it's just like I know like I don't want to go to Microsoft to walk away Like I wouldn't go to you play unless you need to do it for something like I wouldn't go on my line I just miss them all being married it makes it feel like e3 itself is less special people just trying to do their own thing Which is cool, I don't mind but I just wish e3 everyone would just come back together for this one thing There's also like those are being at the lego thing. Yeah, you know, it's cool It's fun and I talked to some people some fans that were like oh, I saw this game and like you'll never get to be sitting next to me Or what just like coaching me? I love you. I mean, you know, they I mean So but it's I love that vibe to works.

I've been an appointment sometimes and I see people walk in and just be like hey Like we're excited. We're also making RPG and this looks great. Yeah, so it's a bummer to think of everyone so separately We don't get those opportunities to my just each of these steps of step go check it out 10 years ago Was the debut connect and me I'm afraid we're in line waiting to play good and back then like I mean We all know how to turn out, but it was like those exciting technology. We're like oh my god God, but like dance central is happening or whatever and we were waiting along to play and we were about to be next Oh, yeah, cut off.

Huh? Huh me and moto. Yeah, it's just like this is the coolest moment ever. You can watch him do dance central It's so funny, but I love stuff.

Yeah, that is the power So one must wonder with the next gen the resident Alright, oh come back on I think Whether they look at what just happened and they're like we made the right and that's the thing to us We just don't know internally like their calls that we don't think we have that much to show right? You get there and everybody's kind of a little e3 so was it that and then it's I miss Sony it's exactly what I said It's gonna happen right where this e3 didn't deliver people got kind miss Sony But that's the conversation so like we heard you and we're back PSX 2019. Let's talk about PS5 Let's do something nice. Yeah me too, and so like that then just more state of place I don't know I want to see everybody back together.

I love e3 being nothing. Yeah, but I don't know if it can be I'm nervous about that actually play because they show Here we go. I'm so excited about saying to play like I feel like we just need maybe three more of them And I think everyone's gonna understand what these things can be they're not all gonna have honestly something I guess that's the exciting thing is like one day we're gonna say it's like oh my god horizon twos again Yeah, that's gonna be such a moment. Yeah, that's what I see more that versus you seem more Directs I think it's a really good job though of like letting you know ahead.

This is just a Pokemon direct This is this is gonna be ten minutes long The other one felt like they did learn a little bit because didn't they do it the first day of the They did say what they did do the first day of play they said long as well. It's like guy. Okay. Yeah, 12 minutes Here you're the Nexus You can go yeah, you just type in easy I'll answer to it But you know just like kind of funny go to patreon.com such as you want to finish this support us if you're considering possibly taking investments other you know craft on operations No, you know you know you know you're just what yeah, but I mean like you know if you're spending five dollars in one thing Maybe just do a dollar and take those four I'm guys
