3:54
flies with you to tell me
3:56
what unicorn Overlord is. Unicorn
3:59
Overlord if a tactical strategy game from
4:01
the folks at the Nello aired the
4:03
most recently published Thirteen Sentinels, a game
4:06
I loved. but did I love Unicorn
4:08
Overlord? I don't know. We'll have to
4:10
find out. Wow. I love
4:12
Spence! Will find out right after the break.
4:18
This. Is a weird one. Is. A weird
4:20
one? Your weird one. Is. Aware
4:22
one I've been practicing like in my head.
4:25
how to talk about. Like. What
4:27
this game does and accomplices
4:29
as a as a sort
4:31
of like tactics. Games. That
4:33
another I've ever really seen anything do with
4:35
it when it has been. Man, may I
4:38
a very briefly before you move on the
4:40
skirt describe my experience in Corner of Work
4:42
as I have a different guy who are.
4:45
And the day in your corner of
4:47
already turned on and looks really ills
4:49
loose. Cool. Incredible as before
4:52
and then. You.
4:54
Start the game such as it is. And.
4:57
Then they start having
4:59
these incredibly. Visually.
5:02
Dense fights, That.
5:04
Were so many different numbers in a sex
5:06
and all kinds of things are popping up
5:08
but you're not really doing any of it,
5:10
you're just cow watson it as is it
5:13
that's about. that's a couple hours and then
5:15
I message group as I am ah. Yes,
5:18
Disease I have to imagine. For Justin it
5:20
was like touching a hot pan out of
5:23
the weather. There were it. The response was
5:25
that fab I'd try to go the of
5:27
mind as almost instantly. Yeah. I
5:29
had to buy my my first two thoughts
5:31
when playing this game is one this pretty
5:34
cool and to just as got fucking hate
5:36
this time and I can I try and
5:38
sort of like set up what what the
5:40
game does sort of get the i think
5:42
I think justin reach into the oven and
5:44
then just tried to eat the pan itself.
5:46
yeah I think that is probably are you
5:48
reach ten where the glove and you try
5:51
to eat the meal. So yeah I think
5:53
that yes ah played maybe about ten hours
5:55
effingham rounding the end of the the first
5:57
sort of arc of of the game. ah.
5:59
This. Is a. Tactics
6:01
game. Ah, but it is not in
6:03
the style of a good In that
6:06
at least mechanically. it's not in the
6:08
style of a Fire Emblem where you're
6:10
moving units around a grid based map
6:12
and and sort of smash and I'm
6:14
into each other. It's not like you
6:16
know, Final Fantasy Tactics, which is somewhat
6:18
of a similar system. The big thing
6:20
about this game is that there is
6:22
an over world map and of his
6:24
design gone so it is huge. Ah,
6:26
and all the stuff you do between
6:28
bowels takes place on this over world
6:30
map. You'll go. Around annual you know
6:32
goodwill for and you know maybe recruit some
6:35
new allies there or you'll find someone who
6:37
needs some help and then we'll do a
6:39
little battle for them and then you'll maybe
6:42
recruit the maybe not. Ah, the over world
6:44
map is also the like battle map. When
6:46
it switches into battle mode it's the same
6:48
map and that is a very very cool
6:51
trick. Ah that the fact that you are
6:53
running around this world looking for you know
6:55
secrets and allies and battles and stuff like
6:58
that. and then when it's battle time is
7:00
just like now now. all. The sadness
7:02
you spawn points pop up on this
7:04
big a world map and then you
7:06
go. The Fi suggested alluded to earlier
7:08
take place between units and the units
7:11
are customizable. like fully I, you can
7:13
place up to five sort of characters
7:15
in any given unit ah, across two
7:17
different like rows of three. In the
7:19
way that you arrange them really matters
7:21
like you want. put your super defensive
7:23
unit up in the front row and
7:26
your weaker you know, maybe you're a
7:28
wizard or whatever in the back route
7:30
to be protected and. There's so many
7:32
different like formations and strategies in the
7:34
game. Does a really I think good
7:36
if not somewhat overwhelming job of like
7:38
selling you anytime you unlock new unit
7:41
like okay you. To sum up to
7:43
Griffin writer. You can
7:45
team them up with a hop light is put
7:47
them in the back row. You get all the
7:49
movement benefit to the Griffin writer and youth. X
7:51
Y Z right arm and so like that is.
7:53
The main crux of the game is that you
7:56
move these units around this over world map whenever
7:58
a fight is happening and then. They
8:00
encounter another unit, then this pretty
8:02
much automated battle takes place. Every
8:04
like character in your unit has
8:06
like active abilities that they will
8:08
automatically execute wants the battle starts
8:10
and impassive abilities which are like.
8:13
Reactions. Ah and so
8:15
when two units meet in order everyone does
8:17
their activities and triggers their passive reaction abilities
8:20
and then you know if your if your
8:22
team wins then you'll either knock out the
8:24
enemy, the opponent or your in a week.
8:26
M C concern of finish him off with
8:28
a out with a bit of a follow
8:31
up attack on but the main thing that
8:33
this game does that it that is very
8:35
very cool is this like it's just one.
8:38
Big. Fucking map and everything takes place
8:40
on this one big map. Ah and that
8:42
really helps it feel like of really cohesive.
8:44
saying it's not like you know and Fire
8:47
emblem like it. With each new chapter there's
8:49
a new battle map and some of them
8:51
are like. Outrageously.
8:53
Huge and it takes forever to get
8:55
through and like fights and his game
8:58
move in a pretty good clip which
9:00
I I'm very much appreciate the the
9:02
trade offer that is the lap of
9:04
like. Super. Granular,
9:07
Control. While like the
9:09
fight is happening right. You. Don't get
9:11
as much psych. Okay, well I'm in
9:13
a flank them with this aren't sure
9:15
and take the high road here and
9:17
then you know I'll use his attacks like
9:19
pin down this guy like a lot
9:22
of that stuff happens in the in, the
9:24
kind of like automated battles. Which isn't
9:26
to say that there's not strategy taking
9:28
place, but like a lot of it is.
9:31
A. Lot of it is set up an italian like
9:33
arrange your units and spawn them and and stuff.
9:35
It took me a beat to realize that.
9:38
The when you are watching the battle
9:40
that you are no longer watching the
9:42
game that the game actually happened before.
9:45
The battle end. The framework that
9:47
I'm weirdly help me what is
9:49
Did ya The Pine wood derby?
9:51
When. You were and yeah sure yeah when you're share
9:54
Power Derby For people who don't know, this is
9:56
it was. I can. Boy. Scouts in
9:58
Girl Scouts and Stats in General. I
10:00
got a little block of wood and then
10:02
you carve a car out of it and
10:04
you put like weights on it you put
10:06
different types of wheels on it and the
10:08
race like you're making a good plan would
10:11
derby car is all done and how you
10:13
craft it because when you actually race the
10:15
car you put it on a little track
10:17
me and knock it down it and it
10:19
goes down the ramp and you see how
10:21
the way that you built the shape of
10:23
the car in the weights and everything else
10:26
how it performs but like. Your
10:28
success as a Pine Wood Derby
10:30
driver is and how you build
10:32
the car. That is the same
10:34
thing here in the tinkering with your
10:36
units and building out the strategy
10:38
that is the game. and then there's
10:41
an option, just not watch the
10:43
battles. You should still do it because
10:45
it will give you an idea
10:47
of. What to tinker with next
10:49
time? I'm but the battles? You can tap
10:51
a button and you to skip right to
10:53
the end. Or yeah, I think if to
10:56
load my bowels. You mean like school? When
10:58
to two units? Been on a map of
11:00
their little swimmers? As you can skip you
11:02
could ask your entire life a tire encounter?
11:04
Yeah yeah yeah. You realize that the when
11:06
you zoom and to see your character's going
11:09
up against their characters that that is effectively
11:11
an animation nine that is not a good
11:13
that you are involved. That's a kind of
11:15
reminds me a little bit of Final Fantasy
11:17
Twelve in. the like gambit system about
11:19
had set up where. Are you
11:21
go into a fight and and for
11:24
the most part like your characters are
11:26
going to execute commands based on how
11:28
you sort of set them up are
11:30
dismissed as a sort of similar thing
11:32
with the with the sort of combination
11:34
of active abilities and like reactive abilities.
11:36
Ah I'm I, I, I am Very.
11:38
I found myself very into. That.
11:40
Element of the game. Ah,
11:43
you. Like. I said you can
11:45
have up to five like characters in a
11:47
unit but like you have to spend this
11:49
resource to like expanded each. each unit started
11:51
just two characters they can go and apps
11:53
on and so like You have to be
11:55
very decisive about like. Okay, be two
11:57
characters work really well together. So I'm gonna build.
12:00
Unit sort of around them and like okay
12:02
so I'm missing a bit of like magical
12:04
damage on this. one of these to run
12:06
into any heavily armored fell like they are
12:08
thought so maybe I back them up or
12:10
maybe I just make one unit that just
12:13
go is just nukes like armored folks with
12:15
magical damage and and if I need them
12:17
I can you know try and move them
12:19
forward to the front of that that the
12:21
frontlines of the battle. I'm finding that element
12:23
of the game like really very very compelling
12:26
and it's what kind of like has powered
12:28
me along because you will constantly unlock. New
12:30
characters, new classes ah and
12:32
and sort of new folds
12:35
to the to the games.
12:37
ah. I don't I
12:39
don't know if it is
12:41
as compelling to me. As
12:44
the sort of like. You.
12:46
A Fire Emblem style micro management are on
12:48
a character level of like oh shit if
12:50
I can get they're both skills up to
12:53
a be I can upgrade damn this one
12:55
character to this thing and then they'll be
12:57
able do this or Final Fantasy Tactics like
12:59
okay I just got enough a p on
13:01
his character to like upgrade this one skill
13:03
which will unlock the same class and like.
13:06
As as far as I have gotten
13:08
in the game like that has not
13:10
so much been. The concert in has
13:12
been much more about how do you
13:14
build a a little fighting unit of
13:17
up to five characters on and that's
13:19
very cool. I've never played a game
13:21
like this before. Ah, A
13:23
it's it's just like I have had the
13:25
thought a few times. like air be nice
13:27
if I'd you know maybe could focus in
13:29
on a few. A few few where characters
13:31
and like really get granular about like how
13:34
they individually are set up and how I
13:36
use them individually and have. It's just like
13:38
not what this game is, not what this
13:40
game is built for. The. Sims
13:42
A really good litmus test
13:44
for why you play video
13:47
games and. I. Think for
13:49
like some our listeners who really
13:51
lot of strategy games in which
13:53
we talked about strategy games more
13:55
often. This reveals why I personally
13:57
struggled to get into strategy games.
13:59
I admire the hell this game.
14:01
I am so glad it exists.
14:03
I. I. Do not play
14:05
games for the tinkering I buy play
14:07
them to like escape into worlds and
14:10
yeah does not this this is war
14:12
as when you're playing Dmd and you're
14:14
the person is like I love min
14:16
maxing my character. I love the math
14:18
of at all I love the combat
14:20
I the good old really like this
14:22
game if you're the person who when
14:24
you're playing the in the year like
14:26
I like it because I like role
14:29
playing and I like skipping and worlds
14:31
and I like the story that were
14:33
telling. I think this
14:35
game's going to be I cut off
14:37
a tough act for yeah the gap
14:39
attempt to that point like I have
14:41
built a few units that like when
14:43
they go into combat. Ah,
14:46
They wipe out the enemy and end
14:48
up like killing them. that like they
14:50
take no damage, end up like killing
14:52
themselves and so they are able to
14:54
like steamroll. most sort of things best.
14:56
Very satisfying. As very very sad as
14:58
I feel like I have cracked the code,
15:00
I figured something out. Ah and I
15:02
really enjoy that part of a game.
15:04
Like Chris alluded to, this story of
15:07
this game does. Literally nothing
15:09
nothing for me. It is very
15:11
with the like. was the closest.
15:14
Oh gosh, I mean it's very
15:16
a kind of like ha high
15:18
fantasy castle intrigues sort of stuff.
15:21
There's an evil emperor who has
15:23
taken over the world and you
15:25
are leading a band of you
15:27
know resistance fighters against them and.
15:30
That. Seat Up that sort of spins
15:32
a rat like the side stories in
15:35
the characters that you meet. Those are
15:37
those are more interesting than the main
15:39
story but the main story is is
15:41
not is just not gassing to me
15:43
the main story is just like hard
15:45
to follow and it is pretty over
15:48
written and I think some that is
15:50
like the localization goes even further to
15:52
really make it feel like. Silly
15:54
high fantasy and much I don't
15:57
think help it. In
15:59
their in a way of doing that
16:01
I'm not saying that that is actually
16:03
a bat like front of his. he
16:06
tactics I think is legendary for the
16:08
way that like it tells a story
16:10
sort of similar that is also like
16:12
really really deep about the you know
16:14
politics and also like ah you know
16:16
class warfare and like it out of
16:18
stuff to say about a lot of
16:20
different sort of like real world ah
16:22
touch points and I am not getting
16:24
like any of that from yet. There's
16:26
a difference between writing great high fantasy
16:28
which can be a wonderful. Genre in
16:31
writing what sounds like high fantasy
16:33
which can feel like parity. When.
16:35
you start getting into like just the voice
16:37
of it. And that
16:40
is where I struggled by. Do
16:42
agree with Griffin that the more
16:44
you focus on just these funds
16:46
and tons of characters, that's a
16:49
cool storytelling. Like trick. Of
16:51
learning about this world through individual people
16:53
and that's where I think the game
16:55
shines. I'd I just wish it was
16:57
able to spend more time doing that.
17:00
But again like that is me looking
17:02
for the thing that I'm really liking
17:04
games where I'm in. I don't think
17:06
even the craters would say like that
17:08
with their priority. I I know, of
17:10
course not. No, I. Didn't
17:13
seem is I think this game is going to blow a
17:15
lot of people away. I think there's a lot of people
17:17
who are going to be very very into the game. I'm
17:19
into this game either. There's. A lot about this
17:22
him at his ah that is working for
17:24
me ah but they're just a few is
17:26
just a few things about it that I
17:28
wish were a little bit tighter ah as
17:31
and then I feel like I would really
17:33
be able to sink my teeth into at
17:35
i've been playing it on Switch it looks
17:37
oh yeah amazing On switch it runs really
17:40
really well and like it his back see
17:42
fit into my my like day to day
17:44
schedule really well where I can just like
17:47
pick up my switch knockout one or two
17:49
like little side quest missions. Do a couple
17:51
battles real quick on lox, a new characters,
17:53
tweak my units lot of eat, you know?
17:55
run around the open world and look for
17:58
secrets like at that. That stuff is. Really,
18:00
really fine. In like a really
18:02
short term. First, ah, but I'm
18:05
not so much having be. I.
18:07
Gotta keep. Plan is to buy know what
18:09
happens next or I gotta you know I'm this
18:12
close to like getting some new big mechanic
18:14
that's gonna like change things for me or
18:16
is it it hasn't really been out for me
18:18
but I do died genuinely do think they're
18:20
going to be a lot of people for
18:22
whom that will. Ah, You
18:24
know, sort suffice and you know be be
18:26
some really really special for them. I
18:28
do want to just say little bit
18:30
about the Delaware history before we wrap up
18:33
on it because. I'm always impressed
18:35
that they take these. Somewhat
18:37
nice genres and blow them up. Or
18:39
at least that was kind of like
18:41
my thesis before her. I'm reminding myself
18:43
with our history, the on actually do
18:46
that many different genres they do to.
18:48
They do side scrolling beat em ups,
18:50
didn't they do strategy games? They've actually
18:52
done a lot of strategy games and
18:54
it's they they button. Affectively,
18:57
There is a game before this that
18:59
they launched in two thousand and Seven
19:01
with ah Odin Fair which was a
19:03
side scrolling beat him Up Rpg which
19:06
rules and also Grim Graham Worth that.
19:08
just got rereleased Know yeah ass and
19:10
that was like a Bizarre Arts yes
19:12
and they both came out the same
19:14
year. And then they made Grand Nights
19:16
history which was a Psp Tactics tragic
19:19
and I managed to mountain us and
19:21
then thirteen Sentinels while being a visual
19:23
novel. the other half of the game
19:25
was Rts. Surrounding area of
19:27
they are really into. These.
19:30
Like had a strategy game formats and how
19:32
you can. Play with them.
19:34
I'm that said, the only really such
19:36
a game every five. Six.
19:38
Years now so I hope the next
19:41
one balls and mean sides going beat
19:43
him up Rpgs selfishly just for me.
19:46
Via it for now and I'm
19:48
very happy that Sands there's Honor
19:50
A which frankly they're thirty even
19:52
less than side scrolling. Beat him
19:54
up. Are completely people the hand
19:57
that that ya got something because.
20:00
The and everybody I know who was really
20:02
into this Shaun Wright who has been waiting
20:04
for his Ogre battle Sixty Four I think
20:06
that was yeah Me: no comment on the
20:09
for is is is a ton of Nc
20:11
tactics like yeah I mean are they are
20:13
going to say this is not like this
20:15
This this this combines honestly. Real
20:18
time strategy and turn based strategy in a way
20:21
that I think is is very novel. Mike is
20:23
it. You know the way that you move characters
20:25
around the map feels very much like of you
20:27
know like a of Warcraft or whatever and then.
20:30
Is as we are characters meet them. The
20:32
battle kind of plays out sort of automatically.
20:35
But. Yeah if he if you enjoyed this games
20:37
we would love to hear more about it.
20:39
This is like a great thing I'm the
20:42
Rebels out fan and hop in the comments
20:44
let us know what like really six out
20:46
about this game and in I've I've. We
20:48
both said earlier, there's certain reasons that people
20:50
play video games and it I think it's
20:53
kind of a cool way to learn more
20:55
about what you like and and you're not
20:57
like why do you click with a video
20:59
Yeah was the clicking moment feel like is
21:01
it like good at all Spin and at
21:04
once is that one of those plates spinning
21:06
type things? Are ya a h things working
21:08
in tandem? That very satisfying sometimes yes or
21:10
no. Ah, It doesn't play something
21:12
else and I would love to hear about that actors
21:15
or yeah. okay well let's pause here and then we'll
21:17
com a vector. The. Prom. Okay
21:21
so our zoc bout. Banisters.
21:24
Ghosts of New Eden. Which.
21:27
Is a video game that
21:29
was released ah was see
21:31
last month think. Spin.
21:33
As a recent release, seventy Five.
21:35
When a video game has a
21:37
title that I'm like immediately like
21:40
great video games, Wrangle is a
21:42
good Is a man named Where
21:44
No one would have the guts
21:46
to name a movie that right
21:48
by us. Maybe it maybe a
21:50
Kindle Period Channel novella? I guess
21:52
right now run out of the
21:54
so banisters. Guess new It Eden
21:56
is. Ah, did either you guys
21:58
play vamp here. Yeah.
22:01
Right here. memory banks right is
22:03
the don't nod Vampire was a
22:05
don't nod game where you were
22:07
a vampire doctor. Ah,
22:09
In England kind of like
22:11
and you have a clinic
22:14
and you are balancing like
22:16
fighting crime. Was. Being a
22:18
vampire you're like a vampire doctor to
22:20
had the a bad people to stay
22:22
alive Sarah Sarah I'm very story focused
22:24
but definitely like combat. This is the
22:27
follow up to that that it a
22:29
color. The spiritual successor and don't know
22:31
is mostly known for more stories or
22:33
of and stuff like I feel like
22:35
you know I still think to them
22:38
as the remember me studio because I
22:40
was current video games then I'm which
22:42
was a that was a much more
22:44
action for this game. They. Do
22:46
life is strange as I see their
22:49
biggest like calling card ah but they
22:51
also do these lines of like three.
22:53
The action. Adventure. Game
22:55
so banish. yours is You
22:58
play a pair of. You
23:01
would column I guess. ghost hunters the
23:03
best parallel for banisters probably the Witcher
23:06
where the witcher is hunting down like
23:08
monsters and and at animals are banished
23:10
or you call when there's a a
23:12
possession nord ghost issue that needs solved.
23:15
So ah, there's a lotta set up
23:17
enough in the first part of this,
23:19
but ah it it might seem spoiler
23:22
he but I promise it's nice just
23:24
to set up for the games A
23:26
to ban ushers two are married read
23:29
and Aetna reds like as a Scottish
23:31
klansmen. And Atlas history a little
23:33
bit more isn't really delved into
23:35
his much yet where where I
23:37
am out by. These two are
23:39
married Ah and they come to
23:41
New England because a a fellow
23:44
banish her and their mentor Charles
23:46
called them to help break this
23:48
curse that is like plaguing the
23:50
lamps. When they get their they
23:52
find that Charles has been killed
23:54
by the curse and. One.
23:57
Of the ban, Ushers is also.
24:00
Killed by this threat in
24:02
the in the town. So
24:04
basically. Once the Aetna
24:07
the the wife of this
24:09
husband wife duo is killed,
24:11
She becomes a ghost. And.
24:15
The repercussions of that For people
24:17
who. Their. Job is to
24:19
banish ghosts from the world is
24:22
massive. And. Very
24:24
early on that you are sort
24:26
of pose the question of you
24:29
tube discover that to bring Aetna
24:31
back to life to actually bring
24:33
her back to corporeal form arm
24:36
you're going to have to sacrifice
24:38
a lot of people to do
24:40
a a ritual. That. Will
24:42
bring her back to life. So.
24:46
The. Game is kind of
24:48
split up structurally into cases.
24:51
Where. You are investigating a story
24:53
with in this world. And.
24:56
Typically it culminates in this
24:58
decision of. What?
25:00
Are you gonna do? And the choices are
25:03
different every time, but there's almost always an
25:05
option to. Basically sacrifice the
25:07
wrongdoer in the story rather than
25:09
offering them a chance of retribution.
25:11
And the more people you sacrifice.
25:14
The. Better the chance you have of
25:16
bringing back. Ah your wife
25:18
who is very present in the story
25:20
and is kind of complicit in this
25:23
to and how you handle this. Ah
25:25
ah and how you you make these
25:27
choices is pretty monumental models like I'm
25:29
sure for the end game but like
25:31
as you're playing like you will still
25:33
be around these characters. So I got
25:36
banned as some ladies has been a
25:38
we call it banishing pitcher. in this
25:40
case you're really just killing them to
25:42
take their spirit or what have you
25:44
and this lady or I kill Her
25:47
husband was the blacksmith. And
25:49
then sees a blacksmith. Caesar City
25:51
Plex sister doesn't sound as a
25:53
bad have access to. I gotta
25:56
say guys hates my fucking gets.
25:58
Can't blame or yeah, The little thing
26:01
on our side says you as
26:03
see, he's your fucking gutsy serves
26:05
you twice as much as he
26:07
thinks he stink. Ah, a. Combat
26:10
wise Like gameplay wise or it's
26:12
really cool read: his uses obvious
26:14
who had corporeal weapons. He's got
26:16
a sword and a rifle that
26:19
he uses. But the more
26:21
that you use read and combat you
26:23
build up was called the spirit meter
26:25
and you can switch. On. The
26:27
fly to Atlanta has.
26:30
Ah, Like ghost spectral powers
26:32
and there are certain enemies where it's
26:34
better to fight them. like with the
26:37
spectral. Their. Energies and there's other
26:39
Emmys. It's better to use the corporeal
26:41
weapons and the to kind of like
26:43
tag team together so they're combo you
26:45
can get were read, does three attacks
26:47
them and nipples in a finisher feebler
26:50
at the exact right second. There's also
26:52
like banishment where you can. Do
26:55
stronger attacks once you've built up with these
26:57
to her meters. and also you're like.
27:01
You know, increasing her skills she
27:03
gets different powers are sort of
27:06
like spectral powers that you can
27:08
use. Ah, but that is the
27:10
basics. That's the basic pitch. It's
27:12
really looks great and it's like.
27:16
I. Mean it feels like a be
27:18
game. I would say in a in
27:20
a kind of way like vamp Vamp
27:23
Vampire does it and the Elia that
27:25
it's it's it's better Vampires a little
27:27
chunky this is This feels a lot
27:29
better. I think it looks very like
27:32
God of War and Videos Yeah it's
27:34
at the complexity it and and like
27:36
the smoothness of the gameplay is not
27:39
there like that that the variety I
27:41
would say is and is not the
27:43
same arm it is. It is pleasurable.
27:46
It is fun to do. It
27:49
but it is not like
27:51
super taxing right? is is
27:53
ah. Not more of a focused
27:55
in the story stuff. I would say
27:57
it's it's pretty like on par. I'm so.
28:00
Now the deepest on on the combat front
28:02
but like it's it is a just the
28:04
right amount of like. I'm.
28:08
Complexity for for my taste and for
28:10
the kind of game it as others
28:12
have a lot of in the open
28:14
world you know that tastefully puzzles and
28:16
you know stuff. You have teaser special
28:18
powers to access areas you and before
28:21
arm and a it's really well performed.
28:23
It's really like at at. It.
28:25
Is very rare I think in
28:27
video games to see a married
28:30
couple lines, period, right? Yes, they're
28:32
certainly not at the at the.
28:36
Heart of a game. And
28:38
the love between the two characters is
28:40
like with all the other things going
28:42
on. The to carry the love between
28:44
the two characters is never in question
28:47
like it's it's it's genuinely like really
28:49
romantic. That's not where the tension comes
28:51
from. Know the tension is not between
28:53
the two of by it's it's what
28:55
the two of them are willing to
28:57
do to be together. Arm
28:59
and the it is it's
29:01
seeing her. Like. You are
29:04
be york with them as they are
29:06
adjusting to their new normal As a
29:08
couple Like just very very like. first
29:10
couple minutes he read goes in and
29:12
starts a fire and says okay this
29:14
should. Keep. Helps keep
29:16
us warm and then immediately cracks himself
29:18
woke. Me: Me: Warm
29:21
wet. You can rest at fire
29:23
at camp fires. Did you know
29:26
it's not. Souls.
29:28
Level but there is a yet. Fire
29:30
Mechanics are eager. rest a camp fires
29:32
and you watch him sleep. While.
29:34
See why you see her in like
29:36
superspeed? Dislike. Hovering around him,
29:39
lingering watching him lying next to
29:41
him, Like. As sped up time
29:43
lapse because awake the whole time while he's
29:45
slim but I guess there's a lot of
29:47
old hatches like that that heard of. It
29:49
is so fucking boring I know right likes
29:51
to and yes I am do stuff for
29:53
the corporate like maybe go outlook for resources
29:55
by cause you go as you go, get
29:58
some or you know I'm asleep. You.
30:00
Don't need to see good the some or. Honey.
30:02
Wow, yeah an arm as it's
30:04
be a great like. The acting
30:06
is really really good. Their long
30:08
cut scenes that don't feel long
30:10
as they're really well written and
30:12
directed Him: Yeah, Armed Arm. Is
30:15
modest. I love it. Nazaire
30:17
Yeah. make and stuff like
30:19
yeah. I love this. I
30:21
hear make and stuff like this. I wish
30:23
that them in spend a little bit more
30:25
time and money on marketing. Detail.
30:27
Rise the know that isn't I'm
30:30
up. in like six months that
30:32
they've released a really solid game
30:34
that like. Most people have
30:36
not heard about. Yeah. In that
30:38
guy that's not great like number him, you're
30:40
mature doing the hard part. You're making them
30:42
really good games. You made you sont. You.
30:45
Made this. And then like
30:47
I I should not go to your steam
30:49
page for banisters. A game that. Just
30:51
and you you are really enjoy and
30:53
the in the polygons a polygon recommends
30:56
to and it has fourteen hundred reviews
30:58
that's not that's a great I sounded
31:00
like I just found it on the
31:02
Playstation store page. You. Know I got
31:04
yeah that was like oh hey good that's not
31:06

31:09
all your as well it is a folk I
31:11

So. Is that helps to like sure I
31:18
was added of actually her dad the first
31:21
words out on my mouse to the Been
31:23
focused published this game and I think that
31:25
like contextualize his allies stuff. To be clear
31:27
it is not. Ah,
31:30
Economize the a prince of Persia. In
31:33
that is extremely solid. And.
31:35
If you like that sort of game, it
31:37
is extremely. Like. Pleasurable and
31:40
like a great like you
31:42
just safe choice. It's not
31:44
like necessarily. One.
31:46
Of those like everybody has to come get
31:48
their eyes on this because it's so wild.
31:50
It's not like that level of. Of
31:53
game but I give you like action games
31:55
that brings like a lot of story at
31:57
like to like things like which are God
31:59
of War. This is like is such a
32:01
slammed up. Author: Of us into
32:03

Throw our home living at home The entirety
32:30
of Sherlock Holmes? Can. Add ah.
32:33
Try Mania arena is is is

32:38
a bigoted birds our chances are.
32:41
Ah, Oh okay. while really.
32:43
Yeah, let's see, let's open up the mailbag. I'm
32:46
excited to talk about. This verse is first class.
32:49
One's. Pretty
32:51
big ninety minutes. So oh no
32:53
no not I was opening. It
32:55
is just a big not okay
32:57
I've opened its arms. This one's
32:59
from been. Either
33:02
best ease with a very sad news
33:04
of a curatorial must passing. I was
33:06
wondering if there was any games that
33:08
Tory Alma worked on or with influence.
33:10
There is many works there were special
33:12
to any of the four of you
33:14
and maybe could you share a fond
33:16
memory of any those games on your
33:18
next episode? For people who am I
33:21
not know your with Tory Alma I
33:23
see is responsible for the character designs
33:25
and Dragon Quest ah things like Crunch
33:27
Sugar Blue Dragon and a bunch of
33:29
other games including Sand Land which. Comes
33:31
out. I think next month
33:33
name for it. Pounds.
33:36
Great Yeah, so did move any of these to
33:38
have a big impact on you. I
33:40
mean. Kroner triggers that.
33:43
Is. A goat and ends.
33:45
Ah, I mean that game
33:48
is. I think the more time
33:50
it passes since that game comes out the
33:52
more sort of like miraculous have a. Saying.
33:55
It is just the like Dream
33:57
team came together to make Kroner
33:59
Trigger. And just how timeless the
34:01
sort of like, designs and and storytelling
34:03
of it is. I think like I
34:05
am a somewhat of a latecomer to
34:07
the Dragon Quest series. Ah, but I
34:09
spent the last like couple of years.
34:12
Sort of like. Going through
34:14
the the whole series
34:16
because I really really
34:18
liked Dragon Quest Eleven.
34:20
Ah, and it's it
34:22
is absolutely remarkable. How
34:25
much? the kind of like. Artistic,
34:28
I. Ah, And
34:30
sort of singular and that
34:32
design ability that this dude
34:34
had was able to define
34:37
like an entire. Series
34:39
of Games ah and. Is
34:42
is. He continues as a
34:44
as the Theory sort of made the
34:46
jump into three d Like how those
34:48
designs were able to make that jump
34:50
sort of effortlessly. Ah, I
34:53
I I think they're probably
34:55
few like designers in video
34:57
games that care for does
34:59
designers are designers who have
35:01
had such. Like. Outrageous Impact.
35:03
Ah, on on, you know I
35:06
John Ryan. Certainly a series itself
35:08
than curatorial. My yeah, I would
35:10
go so far as the same
35:12
tire mediums. I mean, can you
35:15
imagine you responsible for a Dragon
35:17
Ball and Dragon Quest? Like.
35:19
It as I mean the to
35:22
defining works of of the entire
35:24
mediums I'm it's incredible I minutes
35:26
or this in the news letter
35:28
to but our body Mike Mcwhirter
35:30
over at Polygon wrote a piece
35:32
on the Dragon Quest line. And
35:35
how it is the perfect character
35:37
design and could not agree more
35:39
a it is worthy of a
35:41
room and the Moma and I
35:43
say that like in all sincerity
35:46
it is it is truly perfect.
35:48
Yeah yeah I really favor Sandman
35:50
to I think I think back
35:52
game looks really really neat. Yeah.
35:55
I'm I'm really, really hoping
35:57
it lands. And because he
35:59
likes. And in the manga for
36:01
it is really cool to have anybody
36:03
is just like in front of company
36:05
to read right now. Ah let's see
36:07
what else do. We. Got a you
36:09
you? I grab one of voters. Just.
36:12
Kind of alluded to this but is it
36:14
time to start just referring to Rogue like
36:17
Deck Builders Aspire likes. It's a for five
36:19
years since the one point to release the
36:21
game as seems to still be impossible discuss
36:23
his honor without name dropping. It's as someone
36:26
who has played roughly two thousand hours of
36:28
the game is parcel them biased but it
36:30
just seems like the vision choice to savour.
36:32
from saying it's a slave bespoke. it's like
36:35
slay the spire value from the I Andrea.
36:38
I. I. Mean, I struggle with it
36:40
because it is a. Okay,
36:43
Slave. Aspire to me is when
36:46
I say is like slay the spire
36:48
I mean two things. The. First
36:50
thing I mean is that it is a.
36:53
Deck. Like. Though. I
36:55
as a a a deck building game
36:57
where you're building a deck it in
36:59
a run. The. Other thing
37:01
I'm thinking of is the like
37:04
branching pathways where you are choosing.
37:06
What? The flow of that looks like
37:08
and I feel like there's other games
37:11
that do. That.
37:13
Have done those separate components previously and
37:15
and sorry Anna. note: sometimes games have
37:17
one of those, but not the other
37:19
one. and I still think about slay
37:21
the spire like I don't know. It's
37:23
like those two components are sort of
37:26
like the the pillars. Yeah.
37:28
I mean there, but at the same time,
37:30
there's so many games that have apes that.
37:33
Like. As a to to
37:35
varying degrees of success it also feels
37:37
like Slade Aspire is like on. A.
37:40
Gene Rot in in of it's that
37:42
like it establishes a genre in a
37:44
way yeah that it like doesn't when
37:46
you know. I
37:48
think like. A monster train
37:50
on a great exam monster to kind of does
37:52
a lot of the same stuff as Slave Aspire
37:54
but the kind of like core mechanic of the
37:56
game is is that was and so that's what's
37:59
tricky for me right? Give you think
38:01
about Griffith lands right? That's a
38:03
game where you are building a
38:05
deck. And it is run base and
38:07
you're building a deck. But. You don't have
38:09
the same branching structure, it's more open
38:11
fluid. My quest pay structure like is
38:13
that like slay the Spire I don't
38:15
know I What I will say is
38:17
if you go on the app store
38:19
bharara a blue million like to play
38:21
that say the Spire likes right on
38:23
their I I would be hesitant to
38:26
apply that same. Sort. Of
38:28
logic to like another game just because
38:30
it is a rogue like with like
38:32
branching pathways and. Ah, you
38:34
know. Maybe some but
38:37
relics that you that you'll and I mean this
38:39
is so tricky. the writers like Griff lands I
38:41
wouldn't say is likely this fire like I wouldn't
38:43
I wouldn't draw that the connection between the two
38:46
of them on an hour Now I mean it.
38:48
yeah I wouldn't say that about inscription either. A
38:50
Even though inscription at some of the same cia
38:52
their i'm in. He. Can we
38:54
do herbal medicines? Yeah. Yeah,
38:57
what else are you enjoying? this? Ah,
39:00
I've been watching I shogun. On
39:03
at the Fx channel. Ah,
39:05
Well, I've been watching it on Hulu, I don't even
39:07
know what how I could find. On
39:09
Power defined. As exit
39:12
my della visits Ah it
39:14

39:16

39:30

39:34
in the middle of this
39:36

39:45
vying for control after the death
39:48

39:52

40:09

40:12
Ah and it is. Dope
40:14
as hell. it is good as hell.
40:16
Ah, I was not particularly. I didn't
40:19

40:21
on of Shogun by urging school bell

I think came out like. And
40:28

40:35
Everybody in it is absolutely

40:53
first. Best scenes is. Ah
40:55
toward toward Naga who is this is
40:57
that? The lyrics kind of like on

Gene Black from it like draw a
41:03
map of the world as you understand
41:05
it and in doing so like kind
41:07
of learns a lot about like what
41:09
the Portuguese Catholics are actually doing in
41:11
Japan and how he can you that
41:13
to the advantage to like gain a
41:15
foothold in this this battle of these
41:17
five regional lords. Ah it is. It
41:19

You know, coming from two completely different parts of
41:26
the world like realize I'm like hey, we work
41:28

42:25
Rogan every episode point five screen you
42:27
gotta slow it down as he taught
42:30
so fast that ideas rich got a
42:32
lot of and you gotta put the
42:34
crash into the soil and swirling around
42:36
as as as it is he who
42:39
sorry or the arise I give us
42:41
the railroads first oh my eighty real
42:43
Ross beyond my us as already give

Henry and the game that we downloaded.
42:52
That he absolutely when and over heels for
42:55
was super limonov which I'd never really gotten
42:57
into bad as a cool fucking day would
42:59
help. My seven year old was like obsessed
43:01
with her and we played through all of
43:04
it over the course of like a few
43:06
days and and had a really really great
43:08
yeah. it's got this cat some real moments
43:11
of like where you can physically feel brain
43:13
expansion. my duty I feel your brain trying
43:15
to stretch to the meet the but limits
43:17
on a tree because I thought it may
43:20
have been like above his pay grade a
43:22
little better. Because like a lot of the
43:24
puzzles are very complicated. but it was neat watching
43:26
him. kind of like. Work. To.
43:29
Work. To like figure that stuff and you
43:31
have to be the many police and in
43:33
the three the world. or is he now
43:35
analogous up his he's comfortable with that comes
43:37
with a very private done very proud papa
43:40
feel. This. Really good risks if.
43:42
I should watch Shogun. I don't know if I
43:44
did a very good job selling. I know I'm
43:46
are. I wrote it on my list, but it's
43:48
I just added to my list. As we're talking.
43:51
I'm. Excited why they and if you played neo.
43:54
You'll. Love this one problem here. plant.
43:57
That is. That is why I'm excited to watch
43:59
it because. I'm playing rise the Ronin which
44:01
were going to talk about. Much.
44:04
More it next week or but there
44:06
is a preview embargo that allows me
44:08
to talk a little bit about the
44:10
beginning and that's just to. Hey,
44:13
have you ever wanted Assassin's
44:15
Creed? Odyssey meets Indio means
44:17
dark souls. Because I have.
44:19
And. That game exists
44:21
now in the world and
44:24
it takes place in
44:26
Japan. ah I I think
44:29
centuries after Shogun I. It
44:31
is like as America
44:33
is getting involved in conflicts
44:36
there. And it
44:38
is is wild and I really cannot
44:40
wait to talk more about it. A
44:42
monthly I did want to say about
44:44
Shogun which is is one of my
44:46
favorite stories of Hollywood is a single
44:48
second place. The right one
44:51
of the riders of Shogun is a
44:53
guy named Just and Marks and Just
44:55
and Marx has been riding in Hollywood
44:57
for a very very very long time.
45:00
He. And yet, despite having written for
45:02
a very, very long time, he has
45:05
three film credits. The. First one
45:07
is from Two Thousand and Nine in
45:09
his Street Fighter, The Legend of Suddenly.
45:12
All right Okay sit. this one
45:14
is the jungle book that remake
45:16
ah that they did the We're
45:18
Dance. And. Then most recently he
45:20
did the story on Top Gun Maverick.
45:23
And. Now he has is amazing. Rich,
45:25
dense, awesome show. Mean nuke if he
45:27
is is he crossed something as hard
45:29
as they crushed the story For Maverick,
45:32
I feel like you probably get to
45:34
do whatever you wanna like. Zak? yeah
45:36
most definitely. And I think it's also
45:38
a reminder of when people right things
45:40
that the original script for Street Fighter
45:42
diligently Chun Li is nothing alike the
45:45
movie that got Road In It also
45:47
turns out that when you have you
45:49
know like a part of that. So
45:51
the cast of American Pie doing. Your
45:53
movie Zoc gonna turn out great I'm
45:56
I'm so excited when somebody has just
45:58
been light. Again
46:00
in this for decades and now
46:02
that their career is like finding
46:04
out of that just makes me
46:06
very happy and have like some
46:08
more safe in in the process.
46:11
Ah yeah. I real quick
46:13
I finish Prince of Persia. It's been
46:15
my bike game like I'll play of
46:17
for half hour. It's it's solid as
46:19
where I was in all my mind
46:22
earlier is is solid all the way
46:24
through. The. Story is nonsense I'm
46:26
by if you get pass out like
46:28
track available collectibles and sauce. Ah and
46:31
the way that the powers like Layer
46:33
or as You As You Go I've
46:35
really not had a game as had
46:38
the satisfying the Power Curve. Rear
46:40
for really long time. It's so fun. By
46:42
the end of it you have so many
46:44
different acrobatic abilities that you're really like it
46:46
is. it starts to border. I'm like Tony
46:49
Hawk levels of. Getting. Around the
46:51
world it's it's great. But the main thing
46:53
I want to talk by. I know Griffin
46:55
is going great me on this one. Yet
46:57
if you have ever watched the Tv shows
46:59
Survivor if you have never watched that he
47:01
was her Survivor If there's any part of
47:04
you that feels like maybe syrup. Ya.
47:07
Gotta watch the seasons V or two
47:09
episodes in and they are two of
47:11
the while the survivor episodes of Ever
47:14
See My Entire Life know Hydration every
47:16
minute She is it out. Of.
47:18
Control Or Everybody. Is
47:21
playing like so incredibly
47:23
hard that when one
47:25
person is like slightly
47:27
less. Aggressive. They
47:29
are dead immediately. I've never seen
47:32
anything like get Everyone is doing
47:34
buck wild stuff. No one's playing
47:36
it safe, it is. And they
47:38
have. I mean. Half
47:41
of the people on this show
47:43
are absolutely unhinged. like there's not
47:45
like a little bit a color.
47:47
You know, certain persons, everybody's a
47:49
maniac. It is, ah, supremely entertaining.
47:51
Ah, and Wilds Watch if you're
47:53
a lifelong fan like I am,
47:56
The. past like few years I don't have some
47:58
is to happen with like. Casting.
48:01
Or the weights edited or whatever. But the
48:03
show is so fun it is like yeah
48:05
it is at it's peak. It is not
48:07
jump the shark is like the best survivor
48:09
is ever been. has been the Badger years
48:11
it's it's on a hot streak the likes
48:14
of which I I mean since since two
48:16
thousand season forty cents like posts covered yeah
48:18
it is it is. They've short emerged. Final
48:20
Rb post covered are a little chunky liked
48:22
as they're trying to like react made but
48:24
the past like for five seasons. Really really
48:26
really really. Get the last episode pieces tribal
48:28
Council or somebody has a. Bike.
48:31
Full meltdown in a way that
48:33
I've never really seen before. Oh,
48:35
where they're not light ups like
48:37
super upset. they're just their emotions
48:39
are set to a million. and
48:41
they are. Just. Saying every
48:43
first thought that interest their hair I've
48:45
never seen in a worthy ah it's
48:47
the worst. It's here's how wilde
48:49
the season as it's the worse. Like Tribal
48:51
Council performance I've ever seen in my entire
48:53
life. And I'm including the time when the
48:56
guy gave his idol to the girls that
48:58
promised they would invite him off. Like.
49:00
The worst I've ever seen and he doesn't
49:02
go home it is that it is absolutely
49:04
or the and seasons only two of us
49:06
has please. Last of our early hours of
49:08
the second episode where the person who goes
49:10
home in the first episode was kind of
49:12
a tool and everybody like who wasn't even
49:14
on his tribe could pick up like this
49:16
guy's kind of a tool to the way
49:18
to be like talked before the challenges itself
49:20
when a so op and that guy has
49:22
been sent home and the second episodes the
49:24
other two tribes that on his ass rag
49:26
on his dime ask any other tribes just
49:28
like kind of chuckling it off. I've never
49:30
received Claris and I've never to the are
49:32
able rag on someone who has been sent
49:35
home a way because as guy insisted that
49:37
several months seven. It's
49:42
fucking great. Yeah, forgot I was his watch.

50:19
Award finalist, so it's just. Everybody
50:22
involved in the show so amazingly talented
50:24

50:26
that the names of the things we've
50:28

51:33
Joe Rogan which I personally don't endorse.
51:35
I would wreck and I don't know.
51:37
way only cleared and I don't. I
51:40
don't. I don't think you should listen
