What's up guys welcome to the first ever episode 232 of the kind of funny games cast is always on to get he's joined by one of the coolest dudes in video games Greg Miller Hi, sir Greg Miller. We can you guys I get knitted? Yeah, yeah, they're with himself Exactly, I'm part of the Legion Gary and he's just out there giving him out now making sure that I it's one of them I'm a knight of the Legion of Gary. You're not making moves.

You're saying so goddamn I love it nothing. I love it. We gotta get him on this show. I know I really do just a he's playing a bunch of weird ass games We got here all about him And of course joining us once again at Fran at Bella the third you know I'm from twitch.

I TV slash FM three underscore no one's embarrassed by that at all So not him you can find him on fran fridays. That's right. You can find him on other days to thank you streams But they don't have a little bit of patience All the big streamers are going to make money with any do offer you to move to make a hundred K Just a little more than you pay me here Interesting thing though before we get into the whole world of games guys like do you guys with with ninja going to mix Leaving twitch very big deal like you know what's on some big twitch news before but like this is the biggest one ever What do you think the ramifications are gonna be in the next year? I think more people will be watching on a mixer never before right?

That's that's for sure that's guaranteed I think you will have people then start wondering what the deal was and then how much money is mixer throwing around You know I mean what does a doctor disrespect look like you know I mean he's not committed to these platforms right there I'll just trying to use it to further their brand get wherever so I think if mix are serious about going after tops your Talent like that they're gonna start having some very interesting conversations and making those moves Yeah, I hope that it opens up the exclusivity deals There's a future that I see where a lot of the lower and people the us is of the world That's kind of fun you get to stream wherever the fuck they want because they're gonna be like You don't know games guys you were listener for kind of a games But everybody or not everybody but we can speak to our own contract with twitch right by being a partner on twitch We have an exclusive agreement of only stream there. It is very very rare for any creator to be able to stream if you're a Partner twitch partner you can't see me or else the exceptions are big websites like rooster teeth or IGN that have their own live streaming platforms They worked out right because they have their own side and they also sell into the inventory sometimes and help take care of that stuff As far as I know any big streamer That doesn't have an idea of restitution to whatever can't do that Yeah, you can't as a partner that's just what's interesting is twitch is in the pole position, right? So most of the big streamers are where twitch now on YouTube There's some very big personalities, but they're already big on YouTube But in other words, you do have to choose once you enter in that contract So I do I don't know that many people who are allowed to let's say are a huge youtuber if you're a partner on twitch I think they still even ask you like you can't do both Which is a crazy Yes, right if you're like a really big youtuber and you come over and you're signing your contract You're like what like I'm on YouTube like you want me to do but like one or the other though Yeah, if you want to be a partner and make money, yeah I hope that changes but that's right though Like they do have a lot of features and things like twitch prime that are game changers that that adds so much value to The users and to the creators where it's why would people want to be particular twitch prime that changes the game where it's like It's essentially free money It's money that you're already spending if you are having some problems Then you can then just use it on a twitch level which is very different like a mixer Not to the exclusive game goods and game codes you'll get stuff like that It makes you just like that though Like I don't think that that's really if I was sign up for mixer prime would I get exclusive gear in the division 2? I don't think so checkmate twitch Checkmate checkmate twitch I did quick math on because I thought ninja was in what the 80,000 hundred thousand subs range a lot like those are the I believe the top ends which is just massive subscribers So right at twitch primes if let's assume that most of them are twitch prime and a lot of them are like because it's frankly kids using their parents Which which prime that was like what two or three million dollars a year depending on how it's like so I was like Oh, they're at least paying them.

I estimated like five million dollars You're just to make up for the free money. He's getting from twitch prime So I was like one that the funded but now you know that I'm thinking about I'm like is Microsoft an Xbox starting to think about maybe Games Pass and what if your games fast plus and you get a free mixer sub or yeah I bet you they're moving in that direction and that could be a really big game changer because yeah as a streamer That'd be one thing I'd be like what incentive like how can you get people to help support me other than them? Just like spend five bucks That's the biggest thing is like you figure as a regular streamer not becoming streamer whatever you want to call any of us or something like that It's the idea that cool ninja can go there now He's got to bring his audience and they've got to start getting other people look at it and stick around right because it doesn't make Sense for anyone else to jump over there There's doing normal numbers like our numbers or whatever for the random stuff we do in that it's like okay cool Well, there's not already a built-in audience. They're watching it.

You're not gonna grow the same way. Yeah, yeah I was gonna say I Checked in today this morning when he announced he already had about 20,000 followers. He's up to a hundred thousand followers Whatever it's only three different hours. He hasn't on mixer just a description or those are just followers I'm just following just followers are exposed, but he hasn't even gone live yet So he goes live tomorrow, so I'm very curious to see how that number converts because I think he has like what is it six to?

It's six million plus on twitch might be almost ten or something. It's something insane I think I think it's over six, but I'll check why we should see how pains out I mean it's like it was we talked about here Especially with the rumored guarantee he has for three years or whatever at the end of three years if it hasn't gone legs and nothing's happening We would fuck cares about it to twitch and then it'll be this usually or in three years over the biggest platform Yeah, almost 15 million followers You two gaming for all its faults and stuff like with Stadia coming out who knows with all the stuff And they could offer a similar thing to time like game pass offering free subscription YouTube I knew that stadium could also add some type of I have 50 followers away from 20,000 on twitch So I'm coming I know there's 50 people listening right now everything ages leave a behind that's just that's just going up It's for the rest of the sound is a Will it be a disrespect will it be framed? Gary time will tell time will tell you we won't tell on this show because this is the kind of funny kind of funny I need I need the kind of funny games cast each every week right here on YouTube calm slash kind of funny games We get together time about video games all the things that we love about them What we've been playing all of that stuff patreon supporters at the silver membership or above get to watch the show live as we record it And more importantly they get the pre and post show.

I don't know, but bear Definitely I have an important update on the whole mixer Twix oh Tommy was so yeah from his official Twitter count now just one word mixer and then linked to Mixer comms like Tommy was so there we go. There we go.

I got it. I got it. I'm looking for yeah Yeah, yeah, God you got a little bit Barrett. I want to talk about Wolfenstein young blood Oh, no talk about Wolfenstein young blood so it'd come out like right before the game had come out and stuff like it Definitely a different game from what we have known of the you played a preview build No, no, no, no, you say right before we got our hands on the game and it come out that this isn't your traditional Wolfenstein Yeah, this isn't your mama's Wolfenstein type of game and so I actually thought what yeah I'd actually put off playing it for a little bit cuz you know I was watching my hero academia playing ultimate lines three priorities Priorities and right moves out yeah, and so I finally played it last night And it was one of those interesting things that definitely starts off with like all right Let's get into the story and stuff like that And I love the Wolfenstein kind of world that they're building with the whole reboot that they've had for the last couple years And the story they set up definitely the beginning is really cool of seeing a BJ interact with his daughters that we don't really know Super well this I think takes place.

Oh 18 years after Wolfenstein 2 and so and then we get that cool little opening and then we cut immediately to a year later B.J. is missing the daughters are looking for him in France twin sisters Yes, and so the first level definitely feels like Wolfenstein 2 from what I remember it's definitely a Little more linear you're going through and they're teaching you like new little things like McCarra's and coins Yeah, Sly mechanics that Andy and Nick did not know that we're in the game, but I see the part in previous iterations I don't know what the And Little things like you get the double John Bavaria like from the beginning of the game and stuff like that and you actually choose What's power up you want before you even start the game? There's the cloaking device and then there's the smash or whatever Yeah, the RAM which is also interesting because I believe in Wolfenstein 2 you don't get those types of upgrades and later into the game And so first level is like alright This is like what I know it's what I'm familiar with you see the little like level of each character Which I saw and I immediately started dreading of like when it actually becomes important because when you start off You're all levels here. It doesn't really matter the game's is teaching you like re re teaching you how to play Wolfenstein Yeah, super basic.

Yeah, and so the first mission was really fun. Yeah, I did play solo last night. I do for certain aspects of this game later on I definitely do want to find someone to squat up with and We we get out of the main first mission and we get immediately kind of put into the kind of open worldy type of stuff of Wolfenstein Youngblood you're dropped in I think like on the other side of the map to get to where your bases and already I was not a fan of how this new Wolfenstein is going to be played out because I already kind of see where they're going with this With this one of going through areas over and over again enemies responding stuff like that And it was also really confusing of there's like a specific place where they wanted you to kind of sneak But I don't think the stealth aspect of the game that they've added is strong enough for that like the one stealth mechanic really is the The cloak thing, but it's very weak And you can't upgrade it you have the crouch yeah and stay crouched. Yes, so if you upgrade you can run It's actually awesome.

Yeah, but if you don't do it actually I played some I don't like it at all I'm gonna upgrade it Yeah And so I wasn't because you have to get to level 10 to get that first upgrade right and so I got to a part where I was like Oh, there's like the I forget the names of all the different machines throughout the game There's so many and I don't know German super well Gundam dog at one point and it's set up to be way higher level like it doesn't even show you the level it shows you like a little skull Yeah, which is per usual for these types of games and but you have to get past it to get where you need to go And it's the game is trying to point you to do more stealth stuff But the layout of what you're doing and the abilities you have at the time weren't really suited for that again I've only played like two hours interesting because I've felt a lot of this I'm gonna let you know yeah And so it there's just like little things like that that I've seen already that are very frustrating and is not Something I would call a good step forward for the Wolfenstein franchise granted. This is like a weird spin-on Yeah, yeah, it's a kind of like old blood in a way where it's not like a main entry of the series and So hopefully if and hopefully when they do Wolfenstein 3 because there's some little story details added even at the very beginning of the game That's he's of what they're gonna do possibly to the follow-up specifically to Wolfenstein 2 that I'm excited for But yeah, like when they announced that arcane was jumping into help Develop this one I was kind of excited I love the dishonored series and I thought of like all the interesting ways that they could add to stealth and level design and all that And I haven't really seen that yet And I think the things that they have added from their development style doesn't help Wolfenstein in any way shape or form And I just know just adding adding the leveling for enemies and areas and whatnot is just it's frustrating I understand their experiment especially because this is a side note for them But already I'm kind of I want to give it a fair shake I want to see what the the story is at the end because what I've heard is there's barely any story between the middle or Between the beginning and the end of the game So I want to see like where these characters end up like what BJ is up to and what not just because I really like the story in the Lore of the entire Wolfenstein series, so I don't know we'll see those are my first like two hours Yeah, it's not not really high for me right now, but I'll push through Do you think that the change of the time of the liking do you think they were made to kind of pat it out to be a larger experience? Or do you think that these are experiments towards seeing if maybe these mechanics might be expanded on in the future? I think it's definitely experiments for now because you know It's only like a two player and from what I understand a lot of it is like repeating like missions and repeating areas and stuff So I don't think this was a big step for them to be like okay This is what we definitely want to do I think this was definitely a test for them to be like what works what doesn't work Do we want to maybe add this to the main Wolfenstein will see hopefully not though Frank was then your experience Yes, interestingly, it sounds like you know We've played similar amount a couple hours.

You know, I did Number one when I would bring up is the co-op verse not co-op your twin sisters when I was going in that was the first thing I was like my brother was playing and I was like, you know, it's like you know, it's like co-op or yeah My brother right half brother actually, but anyway, so I was like is it co-op like dudes need to be and he's like no No, but he's very casual with a lot of stuff. He plays and I'm like, okay cool But I went in and like went to select and like it has you choose your classes, right? And then right away It's like you will be playing with an AI character NPC if you don't play with somebody else right now You can keep a match open you can have people randomly join or whatever like now I'll just play myself because I played Wolfenstein I'm just gonna I don't care what the other character does but I personally very quickly found it is not designed well for the single-player experience now We in the first two hours I was like my ability suck at the NPC AI is not really doing me much favors Like it's not like it was dying all the time But it's not doing anything to help you and this is literally designed that if you and I were playing Barrett, right? When you were at that like Thundercat dog that you're talking about that you would have been like keeping it busy and I would Have gone out back and oh, there's like a tour a laser turn up here I'm gonna put eyes on that but you keep it busy and like your AI character's not gonna do that Mm-hmm, so anyway to skip ahead I tried it for about an hour or so by myself and I was like I'm not really digging this just the pace is a little like what if I told you you know they took Wolfenstein they gave it to a fairly talented Developer they told him you have a limited timeline just reuse what you can add in some new mechanics experiment It just feels like it's a little thin in that respect So it's not like it's a bad game I'm like, I don't know I guess I could play this like on and off and maybe gets better later But you you don't have to upgrade your abilities before it's reasonably fun at all in other words It's like it opens up and you feel like you have these cool new sister abilities and it just felt kind of cliche in that sense an average Whatever after that I teamed up with somebody from a chat.

Thank you Jonah for the help and Jonah Hill Jonah, you Wow Anyway, Jonah Jonah I believe he's our best friend as well so from down and down from down. No, no, no It's from Virginia Um anyway, so we hopped it right away actually it already felt like just much more normal in other words The way that you keep enemies from getting at each other it felt more balanced and I ran into the same thing when I was playing solo I was like I feel like it wants me to sneak around because there's so many enemies to kill them first before I get into this B's nest situation and as I found out playing with another player it felt way more controlled in right away So I would recommend hop in and try it co-op what I will say is something funky with the online I'm playing on PC So before I teamed up with Jonah, I actually had set matchmaking. I was like, oh, yeah, I don't care I'll just hop in anywhere and let's tear stuff up and I don't know how the ability tree works if you hop in later with people I assume you just have what you have but anyway, it just didn't do anything It didn't work nothing happened. I didn't get a match that I tried to match make with him This again on steam and we had a few connection issues.

It took a good like five six minutes to like get it to connect Like you had a disconnect then he couldn't see me then I tried again I don't know if it's Bethesda net account thing because it's going through steam and anyway So it was a little frustrating and but eventually we got to play and it was fine Although we did suffer a disconnect at the end of that a game crash or a disconnect that like booted us out I was like alright. I'm done. I gotta go grind on destiny. So anyway, all that being said gotta go back to work guys I'm talking about it.

Yeah, basically. I mean a big big destiny grind But anyway, I really like the last one's that I did only get about halfway through it But I really enjoyed the pace of it overall and just like it's just blazing fast FPS like it's my favorite games this decade And it doesn't have that go in and the one thing like the two big frustrations disconnects I have with it is the one of the reasons why it's my favorite game It's like I think the the shooting and stuff it feels so fun It's to me on par with zoom of just like fast pace get in people's faces Action and then also just like the weird character moments and the weird story that they're telling with this crew on the the ship That you're on and wolfenstein 2 and you don't really get any of that like you've got the sisters and they're fun enough together But just I don't know there's a definitely a disconnect with with that aspect and then the fact they don't capitalize enough on the storytelling sucks Right because you figure I think the game opens so strong to set them up first off them training You know either with bj or with their mom, right? Right coming back together their sisters dropped in Paris And when you go into that first world to fight right and there's a thing like You ready for this? Yeah, right?

They do and they get in there and it goes in the escalation the way it does and then yeah vomit Yeah, like sure I'm horrified at the same time as they try to deal with the fact that you just killed the first person which is super Siding and horrifying like that is like that is awesome more of that So it sucks that everything it is a wasteland of like cuz I like them as protagonists like I love bj is a protagonist Especially when he's monologuing all the time in Wolfenstein 2 of his Dreading of he thinks the entirety of the game pretty much that he's going to die And I think the way they set up these these sisters was really interesting of like these are the daughters of bj motherfucking Palasko is and this is the first person that they're killing and this is like them having to deal with that and go through that And maybe there's a bunch of dialogue throughout missions that they say each other because they kind of casually talk to each other and stuff So maybe there's stuff like that But I haven't really seen that yet and then the other main disconnect I have is just the upgrade system in general from what I remember Wolfenstein 2 the only things that you really upgrade are your weapons and I think that's why this game has a totally different design because now Everything is based around level like what your level is what enemy levels are and then what? Ability upgrades you have whether you're upgrading how Much less than like say what rage offers But it's like mind and you have certain things that would you know intelligence or power Yeah, you have to get your level to upgrade but you also have to earn ability points just by playing the game by shooting enemies with certain guns And getting things done. Um, I wanted to ask a couple things really fast since you are more into story than I am I'm like I do appreciate a story, but I'm never like super like I can't wait I never finished the last time Let's get off that time so in the very beginning of this did you find it? Oh, this isn't a major boy or anything They set up that the very emotional cutscenes in the beginning right like once the girls is out hunting Jess And then soaf's in at home and then when they team up in that first mission She they're like on looking and she's crying remember.

She's like emotional. She's getting nauseous. Are you okay? She's like yeah, it's just you know the first time or whatever Mm-hmm, but then literally 10 seconds later the boss comes in and you know And she's a other and she saves her and blows the guys head like literally like and she gets brain in her mouth And they're laughing like they're like silly teenagers, but it literally jumped and I was like is the whole wall vomiting that was like what just happened That doesn't bother me as much because of what the other games have done to set up these kind of like weird and crazy Like wacky characters of the like kind of weird emotional ride.

Yeah, it makes sense It's I think of the adrenaline spike which I liked about the trains since birth you figured a be-not-the-killers And I actually have to do it and so it's like whoa And that was the one that I was like well I guess like they yeah, they're trained to do this and they forgot that adrenaline rush I think it was the same word it was it was a little weird but the other question I had was oh just escaping Oh on the store Have you read much about microtransactions and if you guys caught up with this or did it show on games? Yeah, yeah, I don't know if I got this totally right because I just caught up on the last night what I understand is when you first We're going into the game and I special on ps4 I think there was some old text and communication that said you can buy you buy gold bars Which you buy vanity items like cool suits and but there's these boosters and by the way Oh, we didn't touch on it And do you agree that the ammo economy in the game is really rough like you need certain types of ammo to take down shields on certain enemies? They show you the type and I was running out constantly granted. Oh, no even when I was playing co-op Did you find the ammo conservation problematic?

Yes? I more and like I definitely had that difficulty in Wolfenstein 2, but that's just because I'm a trippy trigger happy motherfucker So yeah, I felt like was much worse. Yeah, no anyway the the microtransactions I remember that making like a big sink and then like I totally forgot about it until like I was going in the menus for Something else and at the very very bottom of the list is the booster And then I was like oh And I was weird and Greg maybe you got the clarification or if we have to follow up But at first it would appear that you could buy them with like the gold bars You could buy ammo boosters and I was like that's a little strange That's paid a play like it seems like you're baiting into this and there's silver coins all over However, and if you Google, you know Wolfenstein young bud microtransactions, it's like, you know, Wolfenstein young boat bloods microtransaction mess explain that's a polygon article There's me, I was going through it And so it would appear that first that it looked like you could buy it with like just money gold bars But that's not sure you have to pick up the silver coins around the world and eventually you can buy boosters by playing the game Do you have an understanding? You know, I'm handling it right.

This is Ben Kuchare apollagon right here's the original listing from that morning contains gold bars And in game currency used to acquire new power armor and weapon scale skins gear PEP signals and consumables to help you and your friends battle through Nazi occupied Paris But when I looked at the boosters in the in-game menus I noticed that they could only be purchased with in-game currency not gold bars Here's an interesting show what I mean, well, it's the menus it looks like it's part of just you buy with gold The official listing for the premium currency said they could be used to buy boosters But the PC version of the game contradicted the listing while the PS4 version of the game not only let you purchase boosters with gold bars But there were more boosters available to purchase here's another screenshot from this so at launch the PlayStation 4 version of Wolfenstein Did have an XP booster and a silver coin booster that could be purchased with premium currency as well as in game currency And neither of these two boosters existed in the PC version of the game I contacted Bethesda ask about what was going on was told these differences were meant to have been patched out of the game before launch After receiving that email over the weekend We've done a hard boot of each system and restarted the game to make sure any of the patches are installed and checked to make sure The ability to use premium currency to buy boosters was removed the updated thing listing for gold bars has also edited to remove any note about consumables Yeah, so why was it in there? It looks like I'm at the beginning of one one But it looks reactive unfortunately the narrative is that the community saw it why you selling boosters and XP and mobile and it looks reactive Oh, it's not supposed to be there, but it was on one console not the other I actually do believe that they were thinking about it and mistakenly left in that version Imagine you think in this Oops, it's like when we sort of do multi-platform reviews at IGM and you copy something over the PC version You forgot this one thing you know put in the thing you thought you fixed But you didn't fix it in there yeah, yeah copying stuff and it just was all but that has created a narrative That was all I heard when I was streaming it was like, oh man, I don't want to play this the microtransactions are messed up And then I was like I don't think you can do anything other than vanity stuff with the art So yeah, there was another Something else it was to talk you did another article that was like the microtransactions will first on already worth getting mad about Yeah, we'll sign the young was microtransactions aren't even worth getting mad about it Because they're not now that it's fixed and it wasn't intended apparently it's not an issue But the narrative was can't believe they're doing it Which would be true if it was still there so if you heard about it I think it's good point of clarification so that's all I've really heard about the game other than that was it You know I heard about my Of course though not to mention who the fuck cares And I Care if you're you bought this in this co-op game and you're leveling getting more gold than me because you're keeping the experience You may the point which is if that's your prerogative however What about the morality of if it's baiting you into buying something that's the problem is if it appears and by the way the ammo Conservation that right away wait I have no ammo, but I can buy ammo boosters that would be a very bad scenario But I know what you mean which is people get upset and PDE games sometimes It's back to the sassy You buy one time XP booster level, you know, we have five times as fast as ever whatever that was as long as doesn't bait you into that I mean there was slow leveling and I see with slow leveling with XP thing But yeah, anyway, I never did it at the end of the day Wolfenstein young blood didn't mess with any of the microtransactions But besides that I thought I think it's fine so far. I'm fine. I'm completing it I do want to complete it I do want to see where the story because what I imagine it's a lot of doing the open quote unquote open world stuff going through All these missions doing the three raids and then after because of story reasons after doing these three raids the end of the End of the game will have way more to the raids in the game.

It's It's like these like I don't know you have to be certain levels more intense Yeah, it's basically these three guys these three characters have basically the secret of where BJ is You have to take all of them down But so the entire game is basically leveling leveling you up to get there I would have much rather have it be a four or five hour experience where it's the beginning part of the game the Three different missions are just like different levels and at the end we do the final mission of finding BJ at the end But yeah, I'm singing with it. We'll see where I go. Yeah, we're any much better We'll see where I land when I get to the end, but that's my time thing you guys so much for cool Thank you very much Now this next It's brought to you by our patreon producers Tom Bach and James Hastings Now this is a first ever for kind of funny I can't wait for this we have cool Greg joining us on the kind of fun against all this talk about his first ever preview of that That he did where what did you get to see I got to see concrete genie the beautiful game that's gonna be my favorite So what is concrete genie so concrete genie is I know it's a ps4 exclusive and you're basically trying to bring your town back to life Through more or less street art. Okay, so it's ps4 and psbr Do you see both of those yes, they're different games right so the ps VR I think there's two versions of it and it's kind of a more or less like free play and you kind of making your own Like you're in the world rather than in the actual game You're in your own world and there's this world on the wall that you know You can add to and you can change what you can't jump into so I want to get a step back Mm-hmm.

What was the experience like are you going to your first preview of that? Oh man? Let's don't man, so I walked in and instantly I was like amazed about how nice it was kind of been a foster city So when I'm not first place in headquarters. Yeah, when I first walked in there they had like a all the playstations Basically treat like trophies, you know like behind you can't touch them everything.

It's like they have the Vita has I took a picture of one so that was nice, but um Yeah, besides that I saw some best friends also on my way in which is really dope and then Everyone there although the ladies who work there were very generous and very nice and everything that sandwiches and stuff That's cool. Yeah, okay, it's a real nice man. I think I got to the actual game I ran into Dominic and Jeff for the Pixel art designers yet our designer in the creative designer I guess and I recognize them just through from throughout the years watching different commercials and different interviews for this game So that was pretty dope. They recognize me which is pretty dope as well You know cuz I was like oh, you know, I was even like, you know, why would they why they recognize you?

I just I'm so vocally supporting on Twitter. I guess you are the number one concrete Yeah, and so I was allowed to play I already played this game once at E3 2017 18 one of those yeah last and um It was a lot of fun This seems like I played the same level and the first level of the game So I got to play two levels this time and when I replay the level that I've already played I don't know if it was so much it was just better and always like I got through it faster There was like it was just it seemed a lot of funner just jumping in cuz at a E3 I'd never really played a ps4 game. Maybe a little bit of Jason, but that's about it So I was really lost doing it but this time I felt comfortable I knew what to expect I kind of understood how everything was going and I love it It's beautiful like the whole thing it just feels like you're in like this Rudolph kind of world, you know I kind of like clay mission. Yeah, which is cool too They took me behind the scenes where they actually were creating the game and like how it all started So I got to meet some of the artists and the people who actually did the first doodles that inspired them to be like Oh, maybe we should do something that's interacting with the walls And then I got to see it off from the ground up and and how they put the faces on to the characters and everything so cool So when you were playing the ps4 like core version of the game Yeah, like did it did you like the story of it?

Oh man? It was great because so I was gonna be in support of this game no matter what just cuz you know I love you know right now walls and stuff like that I can enjoy that but uh so I've never you know as you can imagine I've drawn as much like as much flowers as you'd expect like through in my whole life You know so this whole thing is like trees and sunsets and things that I use to yes I'm trying to use the rainbows to hit up KF's, you know what I mean stuff like that So it's a lot of fun, but it's just like the town you're in it just makes you feel like it's um It's warm and well thing But it's also really like dirty almost in a way and it makes you feel like something you'd want to paint I'm like you know like it's fitting you know It's not just random graffiti on the walls type thing and yeah the more you more I found out about the characters like okay He used to be like a little tagger's gonna like into that so that that was pretty cool and Yeah, man, it's just about you be from the people and from you right now walls It's pretty cool. How does it compare to the classic the seminal classic mark echoes getting up? Oh, I mean, you know as letters.

I love letters, man You know, so like I can't really compare it to let it play station two to you know, I mean come on man But uh, this is definitely different This is like, you know, that's I would say is like the hip-hop kind of graffiti or whatever This is really just like the art side of writing on stuff and that normally would be a turnoff to you But you seem pretty high on this yeah, cuz a lot of like so I know it's in San Mateo And I got some friends out there in San Mateo that paint made paint weird characters like zombie looking letters and stuff And when I see these characters like all the genies because I don't know if we got to it be you paint genies on the walls As certain spots, so you're not just painting environments and when I'm seeing these genies I'm like okay I see that like that's a character I can get behind it something I would want to design and you know make my own so For making your own then you do the VR stuff which is a bit more free play like free paints just being able to do whatever you want it Yeah, that sounds very up your alley. Yeah, so that was cool Especially because like you're painting at that point you're painting a world rather than a wall That's a world in it, you know So like you can turn around and like some of the characters come over to you and then you can like like like fires for them And they'll go over there and just hang out in the fire or whatever, you know, like I'm on the fire, you know, like um And uh Yeah, but something in the actual game that I liked a lot was there's um, so basically the city's getting kind of taken over He has all these flashbacks to make her trash. He's always flash back when he's really beautiful or whatever but like a little town, but now it's getting kind of taken over by this dark grungy um radioactive looking slime kind of stuff and You know throughout the story you get a huge paint brush It's like magical or whatever it allows you to do all this stuff And if you get some super paint what you get by helping out the genie friends And they kind of give you it if they ask for something or if you play with them or whatever and you can use that to take away It's so it's not only buffing because you're actually painting still but you can take away the dirty stuff with that And then to take over the wall with your art and it's really cool part called painting skating and it's like you just jump on a Act that your brush and you're you're skating all over the town now a roller brush Yeah, there's some of the some of the genies are bad So you're gonna have to attack them and get them out You know and you get to while you're on the on the back of the brush skating around or whatever you can attack them stuff It's such a cool Yeah, every aspect of it was just getting better and better man Did you like the VR stuff more or the core game? Definitely the core game.

Yeah the core game something I can jump on to the VR stuff I can see it just being fun playing with friends or whatever just like chilling back and I keep you guys doing something But that's just more like you want to really create, you know It's coming out October 8th and there's gonna be two versions of it the regular version It's just 2099 and the special edition with all the art downloads and stuff like that is gonna be $39.99 You're gonna do that little whole lot of game shit. Oh definitely definitely that's what I'm worried about too It's because usually when I'm doing a lot of games shit I kind of like their PS2 games a little easier and stuff this like I might get stuck in some places and spend like hours like What the hell am I? I was playing this game and then I got to apart and I really was out to ask the lady who I was working with like Yo, what am I supposed to do here? But then I press pause and it's like a map and I'm like so I'm playing enough PS4 games stuff like that So I didn't even think about like oh, there's probably something telling me like a little hints and stuff So that was really cool because yeah, that's the one thing I know the VR well from doing it at that G or not after GC right the last day Yeah, which was based on the it was on the heels of say the play the first day play I haven't played the single player stuff So is it you're like getting on your brush meet will skate all over Mm-hmm Is it like a giant open environment you can go anywhere and take up tasks or is it like pretty much telling you to go from here to there?

Like the other area small you're playing it well Now the part that I play with the skate you were trying to like beat one of the badgings Gotcha. Okay, so I was just for that and then when you're in your town You're already kind of like it's free winching go wherever you want But then eventually the roofs are too high for you to jump to got you know Just out of reach gotcha cool. I'm sorry. I can't wait any other thoughts By a supported man.

Yeah last time I was like I'll play a little bit while we watch you for it I'm like well no it needs my full attention to that. Yeah, I went back and I had a fight doer mom move You're gonna go But yeah, yes, I guess what we've been this let me tell you guys about our ads Doesn't really work when we were caught up Fire them you have not played yet. I really want to play it.

It's just another one of those say I want to play Mario maker I want to play fire and I'm like Greg said it's the time number one And if I don't have the time I sort of question if I want to spend the money on it in other words I don't I got both wolf and Stein cuz I was like you know what this will be an important conversation I'm on the show I knew Barrett was playing it so that's why dove in and check that out on but no like serious I got so much on my plate with other games. She's monitoring well, but fire and one's right at my alley Mm-hmm. It sounds like Joey's gonna gonna tell us all about it It's Joey. This is your first fire in one game ever.

Yes Oh a couple hours now Yeah, I've made it like three or four battles and maybe something like that and what are your thoughts? I really like it It does kind of I like the school aspect of it And you do run around and like I've talked people and do sign quests and stuff like that So it does feel very like schedule wise like persona. It's totally a different feel otherwise in that Yeah, and the battle system is totally different it reminds me of fantasy football and the fact of like I don't know stats for fantasy football I don't really know how like that part works But if you break it down to just like looking at the individual matchups when you're on the battlefield It's like relatively easy to figure out like who you should attack with who and something like that So I really like it. I like the characters.

There's a lot of them and there's way too many names to remember What house did you choose? I chose the black Eagles Because the girl looks super badass. She's the one with the record. Yeah, that's what I'm gonna with you And Petra with like the cool hair braid and like a little pink thing under her eye.

She's my girl Yeah, and I but why is why are the black Eagles when all the rest of them have colors that like I don't know cuz it should be Right or like crimson or something. Yeah, that is a weird or weird call Well, keep in mind that like small bill crows. Yeah, they were a black crow and a red manor for the small bill crows and small So am I be playing on that's probably small I'm being honest. I don't really More of a story person I think it's gonna get you the other things where I feel like you're in that We're you're just like oh, there's no way I'll remember these characters exactly but it starts to become more and more clear Like that's something I've always appreciated about the final games is it always seems very daunting in the beginning and then about a third in you realize like Oh, I'm super invested in this and actually care and like the whole part are you playing with casual mode or a permanent?

Okay, I feel like I'm playing inside you want it But I really feel like the games designed around the permadeath feature because you get so tied to the character Yeah, I don't want them to die because you want to see where their story goes and they guys are just done And it's like that's such a fascinating side to like Extreme jump I was like my first fireman game. I feel like I'm just gonna play not easy and I'm a lot of games on you think I'm just wondering it I just wonder how much that changes the experience of what makes it fireman You know interesting everyone says that it's a very replayable game to go through and play with different houses and like assemble your teams So I wouldn't be against doing that after the first one but I know that wouldn't be as a time in there Because it's like it's still kind of the you have different characters on your team Yeah, I also know that so it's like I still think that you have these connections people It's like I will never forget Jill my plaid in from Fire Emblem 9 back in the day Like I was so attached her the moment she died It was so weird where I was doing a mission that probably took me like an hour and 20 minutes till I get through it I came down to like the last final place I'm facing off against the boss and the boss killed Jill and I was just like Just some random I was so invested so upset and so invested and Anytime I would have died before like lost people I cared about I'd reset the game or whatever but I was late enough in the game That I was like, you know what? Do you ever like for this? This is what happened It's like that made the story like dumb head can of mine sure yeah so much better for the game like cool shit man Yeah, the thing that I need to work on that I didn't really have for half or it was easier in person Which is my real only like comparison is leveling characters Because I feel like I have two characters that are super high-leveled and the rest are like pretty baseline and I feel like I have to be more Thoughtful of how I use them to even out my team and stuff like that another thing that's I think fine with us very well is a very gradual Well-paced sense of progression when it comes to characters like you're leveling up what it does differently than a lot of like RPGs I'm just I you start level one It's pretty easy to get to level five and then it just turns into this like grind to what you get to 100 Yeah, fire limits the system where it goes into level 10 and then you get a new class and that class goes up Yeah, it's always exciting your character dresses different and like each like depending on what class you are You only have a certain amount of things that allow people master class for stuff And like it allows you to really customize your team and again it is about not necessarily the story But it's about the the characters interactions with each other and your interactions with the characters So you really kind of want to form your team of what you have your favorites And then there's the disposable pods where you're like Yeah, I don't really give a shit about you I do like that you can recruit people from other houses as long as you do it smartly and correctly Which I think is fun because there's some other people that I'm like oh, I like you I like you But I wanted to be in Magic House Yeah, I'm curious Is this the first game like this that you played with game play mechanics like that with the swears Turn based in your floors or any and yeah, like what do you think of that from like do you like the feeling of those battles or do they feel slow or How deep or slow definitely compared to Anything else that I've played like well I guess not even really because the person I would go through and like match up the elements to make sure that you're combating and using But all that kind of the right person is but I do like it because it is very like it's laid out really well And it's not hard to understand like I might ask it in the first one I figured it out.

I was like oh no, I understand how this works But I do like the thoughtfulness that you have to put into it like you do you have to be really strategic I mean, it's it's not chess or anything, but it's like it's like how many squares. Yeah, how many squares? What do you where you know who do you have next to each other so that they can yeah? Yeah, that was cool.

You like in other words I find I feel like when people watch trailers and stuff they probably see something like I don't know you know So different yeah, this game is alright since you tried it. I need to really Access the most exactly and I'm a fan of you know that Fire Emblem Advance Wars all that I like this But if you never played I just curious if it stood out is like well It's okay, but it sounds like you like it It just takes that first few you know trials to get used to it when I first thought I was like I don't even Play it that's like not really my kind of getting it But I feel like I'm more and more open to trying new things because I feel like I the more things I play Like oh that wasn't my thing, but it is now yeah I'm so it's just like getting a better hold on how all of these work I think it does a really good job of onboarding you and like teaching you how to do it I am not much farther than I was last time I talked about it because there's been a lot going on Yeah, but something that I with where I'm at now I really like how the game you know some of the other final games It would be much more a paradigm like even the game people ones where give you one where it's like you do the mission It's like the actual battle and then after the battle is just a menus of having like these conversations I forget what they call them But you can go in and like have different characters talk and it would just be text with the characters picture I'm just gonna get the background stories and whatever and then every time you would do the conversations then your experience would Go up or their experience to go up or their Relationship with go up or whatever But it was very menu based and it was cool and that worked and I thought that I preferred that over the other styles Because it's like cool. I just want to get to the next mission I think three houses does a good job of having the walking around the school stuff doing the schedule stuff and Still having the support conversations, but then getting to the actual gameplay. I'm never Feeling like I'm waiting to get to the next thing kind of push through something to get to the fun part Yeah, each thing is balanced well enough that it's like oh, this is fun too.

That's fun too And it's not just menus. Yeah, which again, I thought I would prefer it so yeah And I feel like I was used to that because it's very much how person is when you're managing your schedules and stuff like that I do like that you get to do the teaching aspect in this which I didn't think I was gonna like But it is balancing and prioritizing what were you do all those things and cuz they all are important and build no different parts of it Well exciting stuff. Thank you very much. Okay.

No, I'll be you know what I'm gonna go to Fran here Yeah, I'm going to skip in one thing. I want to bring up real quick is you go dual links I was laying laying in bed I know what I'm done with king of a dueling I want a game that can just be like a fun mobile game that I go back to every once in a while And I opened up the app and just clicked on games and you go is there and I'm like, you know what? I think it's time to do it. You know, I did you know me.

Oh, you know, I mean exactly and I downloaded this game It first came out like two years ago I think it was and it was a little buggy and very network focused So it was kind of slow look really framey and I was just like this is not like it felt like a subpar experience Um and now two years later, I was looking at the reviews and they seem very positive for it So I was like, oh, you know, I'm gonna give another shot a lot of updates to it And I'm having a great time with it is it is the udo card game like the original card game But mobile I love it You can play with one hand because it's it's vertical design and it they just really do a good job of transferring the experience I'm playing the game to a mobile phone and I haven't done any marketing sections I'm sure that you can but like you get experience enough you get the booster pass It's super fun to open them see what cards you get and definitely nostalgia trip for me where I've been playing the year ago Card game since high school so it's been a long time But right back to it where I'm playing I'm just like god There's just something so dope about this system with the life points and everything trap cards all the stuff I think you guys will old video but it was the superior card game passable. Do you play your go? No, no, I don't know about you too old for Games man like what kind of narrative we are selling people I mean you know is coming out is very aware of it. I just wasn't interested in it But no, I was like it was you know it was coming out like that was a post-pokim on like yeah I mean I feel like I almost had to review something around it once I personally wasn't like I'm just messing with you Yeah, but I had a great time with it It's just like it's a damn fun game.

It's a great card game that makes a lot of sense And I think that the the mobile game does a good job. I think it's free to I'm not so paid for years ago And I just still have it but I'm a great time with it So I'm gonna keep pushing through that and grind it here and there but it's been mobile games right? Yes sky Yes, so from the creators of Journey that game company and flower and perfect segue there So sky those children we call them fransitions. Oh, yeah, it's a fransation.

I heard because I said Greg way Yes, so much everybody on reddit. Did we just that can do you know that Craig? Where can you bring it up Craig Harris everybody I believe used to do a Craig way well, I know Scott Bromley's to do a Craig way for Craig Yeah, oh wait Scott came over this got it was for Craig Everything I did it I'm a great dog for all my friend's vision and so Journey and you asked for it. You got it journey and flower.

I feel like sky is almost a child of it For lack of a better way to put it It's a little bit of the feeling of both games a flowiness the beauty of flower of like gliding around other journey didn't have the sliding And but you also slide in the game down these like sandy hills, but it's very it feels a little like flower from a vibrant world perspective But again, it has this character that's like journey. It's really interesting in a way You'd almost be like huh? I would have thought you would have tried something all brand new But you took these two worlds and in a way it feels like they merged the gameplay aspects that they really like on top of that Though the really big thing about it that I think is surprising if you don't play as many mobile games I don't play a lot of mobile So maybe this is happening in more spaces, but it's a social game experience So you know it may start as you start walking around these sandy environments and you're trying to gain your wings of light So you can float up in the air and start floating You don't stay up in the air to go so far go so high eventually you learn to fly and you start doing that on your You think well This is what the game is about clearly based on past games But as it turns out you get the areas and what you have are like candles and like light and so you need to have light to progress through Areas and so it becomes almost like a you know like a raid experience or a co-op experience where like wait I need you guys there to get to this next area because it'll start like raining or there's like darkness or enemies or whatever And you have to have enough light to progress and because it's social There's just people walking around and so that was the part that I didn't really keep up with going in I think I was sort of lightly aware of it, but then I start by like wait is this an NPC? No, this is like this is like Joey's playing right now apparently but meaning not just your friends But anybody in the world it's really cool in any game like that when you just see people walking around the world Yes, you know I'm a big destiny fan and when just first launched like that was kind of cool in a shooter that you just see people walking around in the Environment doing their own thing how does it cool so I mean your swipe on the phone in terms of touch controls and It is a completely horizontal game.

It's not a vertical game at all right away You got to turn and they also say put your headphones in because it's very sound oral experience our experience Carl Carl Carl I'm trying to explain that to them on a live show and Andrew Lincoln had no fucking idea what I was talking about yeah No, I'm not in the eye of comic-con once I was like wait is what you did? I was like how do you guys feel about the me the coral meme and a chain the ring started laughing and she's like what do you mean? I'm like that you know You get out the whiteboard all right. So anyway, the controls are literally just left stick and jump and you tap to jump or you can Think it's hold or something like eventually you use all your wings to like start flying and then you're like just using you know The stick to like hover like the feel good.

Yeah feels good But you're also on a phone so the reason I hesitate is I just say right now I sort of you know I'm just don't play phone enough that it feels natural I know that there are people out there playing freaking fortnight with like multi tap pinch controls and one hand is the Stick and like you definitely can adapt especially play an iPad or whatever, but even on the phone like it feels It feels smooth and it feels good overall, but I have some trouble You know spinning the camera around occasionally and on the phone I really am looking forward to it coming to other platforms because it's not exclusive on iOS forever It is on iOS only right now, but eventually we don't have the dates. I don't think it'll come to say PlayStation 4 or Android Whatever. So when that happens, I'm looking forward to like using a controller I don't think it has controller support on the phone is it coming up? Yeah, it's not I looked in at this too because I thought Apple And we should have I read into it and no, it's just a period of time They don't there's no clarity on like how long game is good versions for other platforms are in development?

Yes, it's free so get sky children wise free. I should have prefaced with this It's free game. So if you're listening right now, you have an Apple iOS device Just download it put your headphones in and give it a shot It's totally free the way that the micro transactions or money comes in you can buy a season pass which you can get access to some objectives and you also can buy vanity out so you emote and sort of show off your character But you can do things and I this is where I haven't got too deep But you can buy candle lights and other things to like basically help other players So it's actually really cool I mean it's one of those for me that I like to lay down in bed and put the headphones in it's very serene quiet Like flower man, it's very hard to describe flower to people I think I always told people the same thing like crank the volume put the headphones up play it in like a room without like Blaring in your eyes from the Sun is very experiential and sky hasn't going forward with this new social I'm in it's cool when you get to new area like it's actually kind of tricky because you're trying to get to areas And you need the help in fact that you're going to get to areas where it's just too hard interesting if people aren't helping So definitely worth checking out and I would support a company like that game company out the gate But seems like did a really good job of this. I'm looking forward to just playing more I think because it's more longevity So play it now because I wonder if the social side is dying down or if it's how long will stay around so it's been out a Couple weeks or something like that.

I think so it's definitely it weird that came out to no fanfare Yeah, I thought that the marketing was odd my guess is because that came coming as soon as a huge marketing budget And again, weren't they working with Apple on all this? Yeah, I think Apple the only marketing Apple does that you normally see as they put it on a Store and like that's all I guess they need I think it wasn't there You know top musty games or whatever that they do but like there just wasn't a lot of shows and you know great to your point And this is why I've run up on the show. It's just as the traditional press I don't think we do a good job of coverage or like per the example guys It's free, you know, just play it just play it, you know and like to us It's like well, I got a lot of other games and I don't know. It's a phone game I mean do you feel that no absolutely yeah, so because it's that you have this like I'm not really a phone game guy And I'm really not maybe a card game.

I actually played Fire Emblem on a phone That was a really good match for me, but I hardly play anything else on there and this one It actually is really nice on the phone, but I again I gotta be like lying in bed. I tried to play it on like the train you need a connection That's another thing. Yeah, you can't lose your connection as far as I've seen it just like nothing happens because it's it's social Um, and also because of the sound it's like you want it to be like a quiet serene experience At least I did so but give it a shot It's free really beautiful game that game company is just honestly really consistent with what they do if you like their games I'm confident you're really gonna like this and curious to hear what people think about it I'm curious here. You guys have to say about Division two.

Oh, right Hey, buddy. How you doing sorry that I you lost me for a second I had a page for the switch I'm having a moment here What's going on? This is on ladies and here we go I have gotten my advanced code for DC Universe online on the Nintendo switch And I need to make sure I secure the username Taylor Swift because I'll be damn everyone com from gaming former's gonna go over there Well, no, I don't think the codes are like they watch your life. You know how we're in this He's always over there doing it You're a little behind slack by you some time with this no cuz I'm getting air every star is just I don't think the codes I think they might have a lot of key information.

It's all summer themed right Yeah, new sunglasses with Chinese on the front American flag pants and I'm rocking that old first responder sweatshirt for that was like One of the first things we got but I like kind of like you know It's like thing where we've been at the beach all day and we were having a time then we went back to the house and it's now right It's just exactly so you're sweatshirt. We still your swam trucks ready for it. I'm wearing a new red shit sneaks to The next big update for the division came obviously episode one of their free content that they're putting out throughout the year and with it Why it came with the expedition mode where you go after this new college You know a mission over in the zoo and then a mission over at basically their camp David Yes, so I've done all of them I still have to complete the last part of the expedition thing because I started it I was like one I was exhausted It's a while I think I did it It's one of those like okay around the research Yeah, I know you come back to this that expedition was different I mean it's funny because I played it.

I'm still grasping like did I do this right so you're you're more in an open big Science like whatever and you're going from room to room you have to unlock each room by You also have to like yeah, you'll follow some wires To where you come back at a different drop in the secret room every day I said it expands and their stuff to find it. It was like a little different. It's just like it's not drastically different No, it's new environments, which is cool. We're the same missions all the time.

I'm not in the Jefferson Morale again Yeah, so that's where I asked what do you think of so there's two new missions? I mean famously if you haven't been keeping up with the vision they had like the space museum the Really cool and with like the Vietnam exhibit and that's an American American Museum and the air space museum are such cool design So when I was coming in I was like I don't know DLC. What did you think? How's it match up with the original missions?

I think that these are big expansive. I like I like that the camp. It's not came to be on the cue call I can't David I like the camp David Is like hey, here's what the division would be like if it was in the woods because you're like running through trees and using Cuddling stuff like really cool I was not disappointed but I wanted more out of the zoo because like when it was like oh we're gonna have a mission to do I was like cool. I really hope we get to use the animals as like they're attacking things You know, I mean like they're more of a part of this right like there'd be like a threat of you see Crockettiles briefly the crocodiles, but yeah, you know what they're gone like you know They do it with that's what you see the monkey of a table He's gone like even if it was just like you want to kill that monkey I'm saying to be cool if like even if it was just like can think of them grabbing like the bad one bad guy You like throw a monkey at one of them and it's like I want the monkey I just want more interaction with the environment on that way in the same way I know two little things like in the air history museum.

Hi, how the space shuttle falls right? Yes, I Crash through the roof of whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah crash through the roof. I know what you mean like there's the aquarium area Which is beautiful when it may cool the glass out the water was The thing that you expect you can't really swim in division that I'm aware yeah, but number one I was like wow is really big missions.

I was honestly surprised there first time through I was like this is taking me a while I just ran a matchmaking but still it took a while to get through them I mean I feel like it was a good like 30 minutes. Yeah, really really mean I thought they wouldn't be that much I'm last to explore last to go off I put up one screen shot on Twitter that I liked it that I can't David like obviously made past over here And there's a little wrench and you go up there There's a picnic table with a knife in it somebody carved no fate into the table like terminator to really that'd be Wait that isn't there yeah, really? I didn't say that all this. Well, thanks for following us work.

We have no favor What is it we we make no people what we make dyson? She's gonna kill dyson. Hmm. Thanks for a long Anyway, I thought the missions were a solid update expedition mode verdicts a lot of need to play more but like I'm having to have it Perhaps one of the biggest improvements which I don't think we have tried as you can now match make right in right for easy mode Right the friendly rate.

Yeah, so you won't get the same level rewards But you can play the raid and you can match make and I'm curious just how that goes I still gotta do it I mean we should just get out there and try to beat the rate man Yeah, but here's my whole problem with it is that all this is great I'm glad I did it but like I'm not left I didn't both got pop old trophies and I was like cool shut it and walked away And not even the trophy and stuff me but like why is the gear score not updated? Why do they not raise that threshold like I just what am I chasing in the division right now? If I keep playing night after night moment for moment like your sets a little bit better damage on my weapon when I know that eventually They're going to up the gears going I'm gonna come in and get better way better drops. Yeah, it's fine I'm trying to remember the patch notes.

They didn't I didn't they didn't update the gears No, but your source knob they did update like your skills now are much stronger like 25 30% stronger So it's there's really more interesting builds happening, but I didn't get to like go deep down because yeah So you're the missions and that's the branch of like the gamer it's hardcore it's a hardcore gamers game And that's the thing is I'm a hard-core gamer in many ways. I'm not in I don't care about my skill power in my damage thing I'm there to get the next I'm on the gear treadmill for this. Yeah, and since there's just nothing to grind I don't want to come back for the miniscule things are built up to do this thing I want to get better equipment if that was dropping I feel like I'd be back on every night playing but since it's not It's like welcome back when you do and that's where I'm with the raid to yeah I'm friendly baby mode rate and then I'm gonna baby. Yeah, I'm trying your mode rate It's like cool.

I don't want that I want the better gear to make the rate regular rate easier So like when that gear square drops I'll come back and I'll do the right the regular way gotcha Yeah, um, I think it's a good way to put it is that there's they've given you more to do It's a solid update in that respect some really big missions expedition mode. There's more do it's a solid, you know More to see expansion right there's some new exotics not like a crazy amount. It's like forget how many exactly I should take it But there's a handful of them to get um, but you're definitely as much we've played. I mean we've played a hundred hundred fifty two Hundred hours.

I don't know so it's a lot like unless you're really into the vision of this point Yeah, like I don't feel like a chase. I think I agree with that even if the gear score was higher I mostly just want the new exotics and I honestly want a better build I mean I am more on that side where I'm like I have a really high skill power build and I started messing with it And it was actually you definitely can do some new stuff So I think it's fun on that front like I was using the incinerator capsules And they were already pretty powerful but like I have a build where like I have quite a few of them and I was like tearing stuff up with Oh, this is cool because I built it to do this and it just wasn't that powerful before so they've adjusted some stuff that might be Worth going back to you for that but from a oh explore this whole new corner of DC and I'm not that's anyone I want like our need I just need the reason to keep coming back if they just raise the power Yeah, I want to be on the chase thing Yeah, cuz I'd be on I want to be on the chase like we were and I want to be able to go into the rain Just kick fucking ass you know, I mean right now. It's all about like precision timing Look at this thing. Yeah, yeah, I knew weapons of exotics.

This is from Forbes We're getting the diamond back exotic rifle and the black tusk Black tusk loves some new normal weapons the carbine 8 and the stoner LMG Yeah, those are I think we're just regular weapons at so yeah, it's too new exotics I think in there, but there's stuff to chase if you're division fan You probably know this but um it was a cool content But I mean like it just it strikes me off This is why with the division one when I wanted to plan to my took so much time off and then drop back in right? Oh, look at all this new shit to do at once whereas this is like the drip feed of it But it's not enough to make me turn it on every week now or turn, you know come back every day Yeah, I know that I'm great game again, but I'm I put more than a hundred hours into it like I've got my money's worth out of it Yeah, yeah, oh easily So it's worth it on that front but yeah I mean it's an interesting contrast because I often mention I play a lot of destiny destiny had struggled to get to where it is today And have enough to do and like somehow they've so much content in the game a lot of it's worth getting PDP mode It's pretty strong overall even though it needs a lot of improvements and like I do find myself going back to destiny It's just more enjoyable. There's more to do it's a very different type of game Because first of all those other elements but in other words division needs some learnings from that still but I'm still very up on division I like division a lot, but yeah, like I didn't feel like man You've got to go back and play this this update but um it's worth it if you have it and you got this season pass definitely check it out Well, there you go Ladies and gentlemen, this has been the kind of funny games cast for this beautiful week first day of August great Heck yeah, I'm this year. I'll tell you I'm that kind of guy I'm sorry, but like August first great get the fuck out of my way.

Let's get no I was doing video game stuff. Let's get to last week August get me control Let's get to September 13th give me borderlands. Mm-hmm. You know I mean because I was thinking even playing wolf in center of the weekend I was like yeah, I'd rather be putting this division.

I mean I'd rather be grinding boardlands right now. Oh, yeah There's another level. There's another thing. I'm gonna like that so many guns.

Yeah, I'm so happy that did we mention the destiny I don't know we mentioned the free show, but that's he's delayed by two weeks that's October 1st now That's huge so in great much more lands. I'm like so relieved Yeah, and you should be to if you're gonna play both games because you have a few weeks to grind through borderlands before destiny is gonna hit Oh, the raid is gonna hit on a Saturday. So I don't know if Andrew is back next week maybe talk about it more about them very excited I wish that's right. I'm ready.

I'm ready. I'm gonna wait That's right. Yeah, I really hope I hope I hope I hope it's As good as FGS 5 and there's a semi decent story. I mean, okay, but will it be I don't know what do you think it will be It's super fucking weird game.

I think it's gonna be a weird one where you like I don't know you're I'm going off of a trailer where normally Team game to me. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know like a weird shit though. See, why are you excited about control?

No, see I think control I'm gonna be more into than that's right. See the control Like I said last time I was like optimizing or love for a list like it looks like it's not fun to control Where's like no, it's all at five is so fun to control. It's not a review. They wanted to hear control is not fun It looks like it looks like it's him yet ease go.

I'm trying to get some kind of They've done cool stuff with their controls, but it's weird to look at so I'm excited about control. Wait, what are you excited about? Yes, right. That's mentioned.

Yeah Big trip play prestige titles like that. I want to like play through that's definitely my life unless that in a Follow-up. Yeah, I say Jennifer. Oh, oh fall in order.

Yeah, I'll fall in order for you He's the one where I'm hoping it's fantastic, but it definitely could not be and we'll let see I'm ready for now They've ever seen so far away when you do play it where can people go to get your view?
