[SPEAKER_00]: What'd we today?

[SPEAKER_00]: I got my two awesome co-hosts.

[SPEAKER_00]: I got pop in the second seat.

[SPEAKER_00]: What's going on, pop how you're doing?

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm doing good.

[SPEAKER_03]: I had a busy week of adulting as I mentioned last week where, you know, I was like for the next couple of days when we pretty busy, but

[SPEAKER_03]: All of that is squared away, and now I'm just counting down the days to not only my trip to San Diego next month, but to my birthday, which is on its 29th.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not really sure what my family has planned, but they did surprise me with a new throw blanket.

[SPEAKER_03]: Um, I do like my blankets, especially as a one of who's anemic and loves to say warm.

[SPEAKER_03]: I've been practicing speed runs for trying to get some missions together because I honestly just want to have stuff submitted and just relax while I'm in San Diego.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to think about being like, oh, I got to get this video done.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to have time.

[SPEAKER_03]: I just now is just going to be done when submissions open.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to submit.

[SPEAKER_03]: And then when they close, I want to worry about it because I've already submitted.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to take the whole week off, like for Twitch Conner, you're just going to take the ticket easy as much as possible or like what's the plan?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, or is there a plan?

[SPEAKER_03]: So, fun fact, the week that Twitch Conner carries is right in the middle of fall break.

[SPEAKER_03]: So technically the class that I teach would only need when only have one meeting but they they've already gotten accustomed to some weeks we have Zoom lectures and other weeks they just have to review the election notes on their own and they've been doing pretty well about that.

[SPEAKER_03]: I do kind of think it on them to remind them to do the attendance discussion board because some people were just like, sorry I misclassed that day.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just like, I just don't want to like,

[SPEAKER_00]: focus.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, looking.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, be a man, be a man just going to do what you need to do.

[SPEAKER_00]: Just stop and stop talking.

[SPEAKER_03]: I guess just, and it's not even the discussion where it was hard.

[SPEAKER_03]: And it, and I, I guess some of them probably thought, well, I, I had to get this question right.

[SPEAKER_03]: It was just a true and false, a true false question.

[SPEAKER_03]: It doesn't matter.

[SPEAKER_03]: They're right wrong.

[SPEAKER_03]: Just say something.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I know that you were online that I checked the campus to do your assignments.

[SPEAKER_03]: It was done for that day.

[SPEAKER_00]: You're so much like this message just says lizard on the chat.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, there you go.

[SPEAKER_00]: There you go.

[SPEAKER_00]: But that's good.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, but you know what pop?

[SPEAKER_00]: What's up?

[SPEAKER_00]: You know the person who would to eat all of the strawberry and white vanilla inside an appalton leave the chocolate behind?

[SPEAKER_00]: Who?

[SPEAKER_00]: The five star general of the idiot.

[SPEAKER_00]: Biddy, smoothie, can be the I got smoothie in the third seat.

[SPEAKER_00]: What's going on my dude?

[SPEAKER_01]: Chillin' my friend, we went, uh...

[SPEAKER_01]: Luzard also and I went and saw Demon Slayer and Fiddity Castle part one Some of there are some people complaining about the length of it being two and a half hours I would have taken a whole I'd give me more give me more.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm on the opposite end of that But that was two and a half hours.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yes, of course.

[SPEAKER_01]: It was awesome

[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you barely see movies these days that long.

[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, it was great.

[SPEAKER_01]: Again, it's supposed to be three parts.

[SPEAKER_01]: So it makes sense.

[SPEAKER_01]: I know a part two is going to be super juicy as well.

[SPEAKER_01]: This one had me laughing.

[SPEAKER_01]: We cried.

[SPEAKER_01]: We had a great time.

[SPEAKER_01]: It was everything that, you know,

[SPEAKER_01]: having read the manga being able to see it visualize and whatnot was awesome.

[SPEAKER_01]: They had some great the way it was just so it was really cinematic for it for it be like you did just like it so many notes we were in the very back as well little recliner seats we went down to the south point so it was only in select theaters at select times they had the English sub and then they

[SPEAKER_01]: typically I would go some but I figured it'd be easier uh let's be real for both of us if it was just done so.

[SPEAKER_01]: So we went ahead did that but I'll go back when it actually releases and I'll go back and watch see uh

[SPEAKER_01]: the sub as well.

[SPEAKER_01]: But that was awesome.

[SPEAKER_01]: More lands four came out.

[SPEAKER_01]: I've been I've been jumping into that.

[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to be conversing a little bit about that as well here a little later.

[SPEAKER_01]: And then, you know, just being an all around clown bear's fan here.

[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, again, terrible, terrible showing today against the lions, uh, we got our butts whipped.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know what we do at this point in time as a team.

[SPEAKER_01]: We are going to get absolutely demolished by everybody in our division.

[SPEAKER_01]: So, uh, big sad about that, but, uh, you know, we, we out here, we out here, we're doing things, we're doing stuff.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, that makes you feel any better.

[SPEAKER_03]: No team in any sport will have a worse record than Rockies.

[SPEAKER_03]: They're in the lobby.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I love that's me.

[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I actually have a bet that on the white socks not having the worse record of this season.

[SPEAKER_01]: I put it in before the season started.

[SPEAKER_01]: the one side to be the worst record to not be the worst record because they had the year before I think they still got the all-time worst record because they only won 41 games I think last year yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah for to be going through it right now yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it's Rocky's record right now

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't

[SPEAKER_00]: It was one of the 52 for Chicago on the Detroit.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's what I said dude.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they were playing it like the throw is trying to get BCS points.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're trying to get number one for the week and something.

[SPEAKER_01]: Really, they were pissed at the Packers beat them.

[SPEAKER_01]: So they had to come out and show out on us and, you know, we had moments of looking good.

[SPEAKER_01]: But clearly there are a lot of issues, penalties being a major one as well.

[SPEAKER_01]: when you're getting a hundred plus yards in penalties.

[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, but again, this is not surprised.

[SPEAKER_01]: This is supposed to be part of the rebuild.

[SPEAKER_01]: There are some positive to take away, but this is going to be a painful season, especially going against the Packers.

[SPEAKER_01]: I hate you, Gary Jones.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: Because the Michael Parsons trade at the end they're giving them to the packers.

[SPEAKER_01]: What is that?

[SPEAKER_01]: That's really what it is to play it around with Michael Parsons.

[SPEAKER_00]: Cause it could call Chicago, Chicago said, though, we didn't need it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm doing good up, like I am still siphoning over.

[SPEAKER_00]: I got sick on the back end of last week, so I wasn't able to get all the interviews and stuff in, because then it's been going like ham on interviews for, for packs, packs west, and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on

[SPEAKER_00]: And then also you're review for the controller as well, which I by the way, I've been playing with the Victorix controller.

[SPEAKER_01]: I have as well, man.

[SPEAKER_00]: I am like, oh, you haven't flipped or was it like that originally?

[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, this is how this is how that's how it was.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: But I want to change out the the good.

[SPEAKER_01]: I am going to do some changing out here.

[SPEAKER_00]: Just a thing.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm loving the the feel of this is feels good the deep had I'm not surprised about the you pad.

[SPEAKER_01]: I need to change out I am because.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, all I wear is it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I have it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I have it right here.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I want to change out to you this.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, the regular one.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it may be.

[SPEAKER_01]: put a longer a lot because like what I'm finding, and again, this is the first time I'm really using an Xbox controller, it feels small in my hands and it hurts my hands a little bit actually, and I don't know what it is and that.

[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I said something about that in just a wait.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that might be just me being spoiled from the dual sense and how thick and maybe feels, you know, but the controller is great.

[SPEAKER_01]: I like I'm loving, you know, doing doing the customization to trigger messing around with the five stop trigger stuff and whatnot as well.

[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, really putting it to his faces.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think the feel of it it's less bulkier than the the pro revolution I will say but it but it definitely feels good I mean I'm playing I use the revolution for my PS5 but I've been using the the Vick Dricks 1 for my PC and I've been loving it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I've been playing I'm Dragon Ball Gickish in squadra all like exclusively on that on that controller and I've been loving it like it's been really really it's been feeling really good

[SPEAKER_00]: So which by the way, that's why I've been playing I like I haven't even touched rivals yet.

[SPEAKER_00]: The new season of rivals yet because I've just been going ham in this game, which by the way, I will say this is the well it just irritates me because like I don't know what

[SPEAKER_00]: Like Bandai Namco is doing when they cut like I didn't know what their expectations was for this game because like the server the servers are Such I would like for day one.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's been so bad.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's the worst.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how many games I've gotten kicked kicked out of lost SR because I was kicked from it or like somebody else, you know, it just freezes like due to it's it's

[SPEAKER_00]: Have you heard about it?

[SPEAKER_00]: Have you heard about the pop?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because this is really bad like like okay so basically like so so you can get there's several that we'll at the day one was though it was probably other's worse because day one you could get in the match.

[SPEAKER_00]: then you could do the whole match.

[SPEAKER_00]: You could play the them whole round.

[SPEAKER_00]: You win.

[SPEAKER_00]: You go to try to get to the next page.

[SPEAKER_00]: It kicks you out because there's a network air code 1 through 1,330 or something or 1,1.

[SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember.

[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, and then when it does that, you lose, you lose points from it regardless because it's technically a disconnect and then what's what's weird is that like so what I think the worst one is when you're in the middle of the match then the server these sinks from your from your controllers so everyone goes one direction they keep on going straight until it gets disconnected.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's a it kicks everyone out of the game both sides completely kicks everyone out of the game But you can't get back in the game until the batch itself times out and then the timeout timer for that is 15 to 20 minutes So yeah, it is it like these are the goals happening on PlayStation.

[SPEAKER_01]: Can I'm playing on PlayStation?

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not even playing it on PC.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, I'm playing on PC.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's the exact same things

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's it's just it's terrible.

[SPEAKER_00]: That was just like, wow, how are you like I want to put money in on this, but you're telling by like, because of how bad this is like how annoying the issues are, which is worse, which is even

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so like I don't understand it and and I like and to be honest with you, like this is the it's really limiting my faith in it, but like but think but one but if you do play a game of it, it's just so fun, it's fun to play.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's really fun to play.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, maybe just start it.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I've been going ham.

[SPEAKER_00]: I've been lab-working all the characters just to say just to see how they all work.

[SPEAKER_00]: And it's really, really interesting.

[SPEAKER_00]: So no, I mean, yeah, I'm going to mess around with it some more before I go back into rivals and need to, before I start getting sweaty in that.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then just go.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm going to mess around with it some more, before I go back into rivals and need to, of course,

[SPEAKER_00]: experience this hopefully uh uh the new season i think this i guess you would consider this to be season zero in this they don't really call it anything but like but if they just uh they said that the new season starts in nine days or something so i'm sorry i told that yeah exactly exactly yeah so yeah

[SPEAKER_00]: Do I've been going ham do like I've been like messing around with it and then like and then like I figured out who the character that like who the character that I don't like Yeah, like the good counters the good the card system.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'll figure out how the card system's work, which is like really Like the good the best combos for certain deals.

[SPEAKER_00]: I like I've been going I'm going pretty good on all of that.

[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah

[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I have a conversation because I don't know exactly how I'm getting them.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's killing some of the people that the NBC's that come in and like, you know, the importance of that.

[SPEAKER_01]: But like, I've also had people with grief and just like sit at the, at the beginning and not do anything, and you sit there and get beat up.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's so annoying.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's all the time.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then the worst part of the feeders, the ones that just keep on going in, they don't learn to lessen.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then the ones, so they're like super like three, three levels up.

[SPEAKER_01]: You're basically pointless in this game now because everybody's gonna smash you

[SPEAKER_00]: And everyone's going to die because of your stupidity in your face.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, like, you've gotten everyone killed.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly.

[SPEAKER_00]: So no, but now I love in the game.

[SPEAKER_00]: Um, definitely going to, um, that's still going to be playing now.

[SPEAKER_00]: Probably going to play that from down here.

[SPEAKER_00]: But we'll see how this is going to go.

[SPEAKER_00]: But we got, we got that now.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, though.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to talk about who my favorite Dragon Ball Z character is.

[SPEAKER_00]: Because we all clearly know it's oob.

[SPEAKER_00]: So let's get there.

[SPEAKER_00]: Let's, let's get to the noble rigor role that we like to, uh, that we like to talk about each and every week.

[SPEAKER_00]: So each of us choose the topic or discussion in the world of video games, the topic would or could be a game itself or something that happened in the gaming industry.

[SPEAKER_00]: And we do that want to talk about it in amongst ourselves who wants you the listeners on Twitch on YouTube.

[SPEAKER_00]: to be a part of the conversation as always.

[SPEAKER_00]: So if there's something you're wanting to type in or something wanting to add to whatever we talk about by all means type it inside the chat.

[SPEAKER_00]: We will go and talk with you and go from there.

[SPEAKER_00]: So

[SPEAKER_00]: Smitty, even though I didn't tell you what you break into the table by Friday.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the talk about it.

[SPEAKER_01]: A meaty, meaty Nintendo direct drop this past Friday.

[SPEAKER_01]: It was interesting.

[SPEAKER_01]: Number one, this was before the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Brothers.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I figured out there would be something about it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I was hoping that there would be a 3D Mario game announcement.

[SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, we did not get that.

[SPEAKER_01]: However, we did figure out that both Mario Galaxy's will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 along with a Super Mario Galaxy movie.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, essentially the second yeah Super Mario Brothers movie Chris Pratt the whole gang Back I'm not familiar with I never played galaxy or any of that so like knowing that this movie is coming out which is tentatively April 3rd 2026 You know, I think I might try to grind through I think I might have galaxy at least the first one

[SPEAKER_00]: It kind of puts me off with that though, and you think about it.

[SPEAKER_00]: What do you think?

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: So like, how long ago was it?

[SPEAKER_00]: I was going to say to you, pop out.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think you know either.

[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, like, you remember like recently they did the recently didn't they do a re-release of the 3D Mario's Mario Sunshine Mario Galaxy and Mario.

[SPEAKER_00]: There was like, it was a it was a three pack.

[SPEAKER_00]: Mario 64.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, so I'm pretty sure I have that do you have that?

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so do you have the game?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, wasn't Galaxy is one it wasn't Galaxy one of the games was I think it was and then so like that that's what kind of obsessed me it's kind of like so what then then they they said that they they stopped selling that and now the re-releasing it as a re-release But they're packaging it with with Mario Mario Galaxy too.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean that that's I mean it's kind of

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's kind of annoying.

[SPEAKER_00]: I love the fact that it's coming to the peer to the switch to, I think it's a great thing, but my God, dude, that's almost like, what's called last of us levels.

[SPEAKER_00]: That is last of us levels, essentially.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, essentially you're getting there if they did you a a re re release of super royale It was able in the freaking Nintendo switch on line library.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if it's there or not I'm gonna take it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it is.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it is I'm so there then Yeah, I'm on the it's crazy

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm sorry to kind of get kind of got through it.

[SPEAKER_01]: No, you're fine.

[SPEAKER_01]: I just expected a little more, you know, outside of that.

[SPEAKER_01]: We got to see Metroid Prime for that look great.

[SPEAKER_01]: Motorcycles, Sam is being a badass.

[SPEAKER_01]: I know people are ready for that.

[SPEAKER_01]: So that looked fantastic.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a little worried about that one too.

[SPEAKER_01]: Are you?

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: It feels a little weird to me.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, well, have you played any of the other Metroids before?

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, any of them?

[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I played like the old school Metroids.

[SPEAKER_01]: I have to do what I want to put.

[SPEAKER_00]: But that's fine.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so like prime, like Metroids feel is not open world.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I personally, I mean, maybe it's just me being like, you know, the old school or the OG when it comes this kind of thing, but like,

[SPEAKER_00]: Medroids thing is like you're kind of in a claustrophobic kind of little like a small area kind of deals like a lot of random stuff stuff is coming at you and stuff I don't think Medroids feels like that that same kind of mechanic works when you have open world in the way of like how you know

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm don't get me wrong, the bike looks sick as fuck, but the land and stuff going in the desert, if it's traversal, if it's just traversal, fine, but if it's just more open-world moving like that, I don't know if I'm down with it.

[SPEAKER_00]: But then also the world itself seemed pretty plain.

[SPEAKER_00]: There was virtually nothing in that video.

[SPEAKER_00]: It was like out there in it myself.

[SPEAKER_00]: But when you saw the thing that she was attacking,

[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, you know, this is, this is what I was looking for, this is what I was was was expecting more for in for prime, but yeah, so I'm a little worried to see kind of where there's goes because when then when you think about it, this game has been in like, been in the making for seven years, seven to eight years, the in the middle of the process, they had to redo it.

[SPEAKER_00]: remember that they were like yeah yeah they said they scrapped the original idea and they had to start from scratch again and I was just like okay well that's not good so yeah I that that's why I'm kind of scared but but maybe I'm just maybe being paranoid

[SPEAKER_01]: No, I think that's fair.

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's kind of, I feel like that's kind of, I feel about the, because Donkey Kong bananza, they unveiled a pay DLC.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of like a rogue like, and it's like, that's what you guys decide to do, like, just like,

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, some reason it just kind of wrote to me the wrong way.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, definitely wrong way.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it feels very cash-grabby and like, instead of giving like more story or, you know, I mean whatever, like something like this and like, I don't even know how much it costs, but like, I was like, man, I was like, whatever, I'm not, you know, like whatever.

[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, a big one, Pokemon, I'm going to tell you a book is Poco Pia, Poco Pia.

[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

[SPEAKER_01]: cozy gamers are gonna gobble that in that universe like I was like I'm sure that is you know that is absolutely huge news in terms of that.

[SPEAKER_01]: There are some of the ones I love seeing Dynasty Warriors Origins and they've got a DLC that's gonna be coming out as well.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's like, you know, she's gonna get some flower or get their flowers here.

[SPEAKER_01]: To be honest, when I was watching the thing, I totally missed that.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how I missed it, but I missed it.

[SPEAKER_00]: When you mean you like missed the trailer or you missed it?

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yes, the whole of everything.

[SPEAKER_01]: I completely missed that.

[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_01]: That announcement, I don't know how.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's funny.

[SPEAKER_01]: The virtual boy thing, get at it here.

[SPEAKER_01]: It was unsuccessful back in a day.

[SPEAKER_01]: What are you doing?

[SPEAKER_01]: Please, I don't even have to say this, I don't think.

[SPEAKER_01]: But people are talking about once again, buy it.

[SPEAKER_01]: Why?

[SPEAKER_01]: They're not going to do it.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to do it.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to sound like.

[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think people will do it?

[SPEAKER_00]: No, they're going to do it.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're absolutely going to do it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Are you kidding me?

[SPEAKER_00]: Somebody, this company sold cardboard.

[SPEAKER_00]: And it's all to the market card.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is no way that there's no way that that that that that is not going to sell especially for all these Nintendo collectors Like you know it I like what I saw that first off.

[SPEAKER_00]: I was like thinking to myself Oh, yeah, when they said oh, they're going to release the 14 games on the virtual boys like wait Wasn't our only 14 games on the virtual boy and they're like out of the 14 they were like two There were really good.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be like what like Would like you're really gonna I'm mind boggled on have you ever played virtual boy pop

[SPEAKER_03]: I have not, but I've definitely seen people play it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: So here's the thing about virtual boy.

[SPEAKER_00]: First off, I have one.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have the original one.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have an original one and the original one, like there is a disclaimer and it's still probably they're gonna be the standard of the day.

[SPEAKER_00]: to this disclaimer is that you can only play 15 minutes at the time because it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's

[SPEAKER_00]: on like, you know, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you

[SPEAKER_01]: That's so people cardboard.

[SPEAKER_00]: So people bought it.

[SPEAKER_01]: That was insane.

[SPEAKER_00]: They did it.

[SPEAKER_01]: It was crazy.

[SPEAKER_01]: So these did it.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I got away with it too.

[SPEAKER_00]: They did.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's what you know how fast they were in it out.

[SPEAKER_00]: They were like, they were like, they were like, what the hell is that?

[SPEAKER_00]: It literally was like a month it was like here's the starter pack here's all the different kinds of accessories and at the next month They're like, I don't know what you're talking about.

[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't sell car, but we're a video game company.

[SPEAKER_00]: Who the hell do you think you are?

[SPEAKER_01]: It's hilarious

[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't get home from Mario tennis fever, I did, I was a, I was a fan of Mario tennis, so like seeing this, seeing a new generation of it, that will be a day one pick up for me as well, because I was a fan of that.

[SPEAKER_01]: It looked great.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's going to be super cool.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm still like the high, high rule warriors, like,

[SPEAKER_00]: That's where the first one.

[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't played any of them.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, come on.

[SPEAKER_00]: I hate them.

[SPEAKER_01]: Jari, Jari is wow.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm so serious.

[SPEAKER_03]: Please, it's part of this is because I like what he was game, but Nintendo does weird thing where they add some kind of weird gimmick in one of them.

[SPEAKER_03]: You have to control it.

[SPEAKER_03]: This is the one that came out after Breath of the Wild, but you have to control the Divine B. So whatever, and I'm like, I don't like this.

[SPEAKER_03]: This slows the pace.

[SPEAKER_03]: of how a warrior's game is supposed to feel.

[SPEAKER_03]: And honestly, if he just me for not liking the hero warrior games, I don't care if you like them.

[SPEAKER_03]: Cool, it's just I as someone who's played many of warrior games, I do not like it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I mean, if you're thinking, yeah, warfare, the moose, so I don't think that, yeah, I mean, if it was between high rural warriors or, um, dynasty warriors, the one that you, the ones you played, I would go with go dinosaurs, because this is, it's made by the same company.

[SPEAKER_00]: The only difference that they got the IP, but the, but dinosaurs is more, feels not as, like, locked up, I would say.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, but it's always felt like super locked up for me and I don't know if it's because, you know, Nintendo's like, here's what you can and can't do.

[SPEAKER_03]: I just don't like the additional things that I'm pretty sure Nintendo had to say and the additional things they make you do in higher warriors because I'm just like nothing about controlling this giant machine screams moose.

[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

[SPEAKER_01]: Now I knew there was a reason that I had never really messed around with it.

[SPEAKER_01]: Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: That looks pretty cool.

[SPEAKER_01]: That is going to be.

[SPEAKER_03]: I was almost going to get a switch to you until I saw that it was coming to other platforms.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's no, there's no.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's no.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's no.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's no.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's no.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's no.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's no.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's no.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's no.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of funny because I have a love hate relationship with Dragon Quest 7 because Dragon Quest 7 was the game was the reason why I never I haven't played any Dragon Quest for a long time.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because there's there's system had a their battle system had a ratio or no had a percentage like system which if you if you grind like I do

[SPEAKER_00]: then it is virtually impossible to beat the bosses at one point in time because you don't have strong enough weapons to take them out, which is which was what happened twice when I didn't even mean to the second time.

[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, okay, I'm done.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'll boy the try it again, though.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I mean, the the remake, this remake would be good.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it does look pretty good.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the remake would be good.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, really good.

[SPEAKER_01]: And like, and maybe that like, I know of Dragon Quest, but like, do they fall like you have to like play them?

[SPEAKER_01]: No.

[SPEAKER_03]: No.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's a difference for me to see time.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they don't know what they're doing together.

[SPEAKER_01]: Interesting.

[SPEAKER_01]: I've never played any of the Dragon Quest.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, it's, yeah, you can start in any of them.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'll take that back because two and three do, two, three and, uh, was it five?

[SPEAKER_00]: No.

[SPEAKER_00]: No.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, two and three do do, do connect with each other.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's why they release Dragon Quest 3D 2D remake and then they're going to be releasing another Dragon Quest one that comes out soon and then that's going to those two connect and then Dragon Quest 1 and 2 are just staying the looms so that they're going to come out together.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that's all right.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, right.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that's how that works.

[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, but for the most part, you don't have to start at the very beginning.

[SPEAKER_03]: And then I know I know four to six are kind of like it's own saga.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's all weird, but it's yeah, you don't need to you only play all of them side to side like, yeah, you know.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, uh, linked banner of the spark looked interesting.

[SPEAKER_01]: It was kind of like, uh, like, uh, uh, linked banner of the spark.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, uh, it's a rogue.

[SPEAKER_01]: It has like the rogue like, like, feel, but like, uh, I think there's like survival elements to it as well.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's yeah, yeah, it seemed pretty interesting.

[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't have one.

[SPEAKER_01]: I remember caught my eye for sure You know some of the other things that that we all knew about but I wanted to see what you guys thought of it If there was anything that you know, maybe I didn't mention that really caught your guys eye There was a lot there and it was an hour long

[SPEAKER_01]: You know, direct, which, you know, they're, they're direct are pretty concise and and they're not, they're not typically long store.

[SPEAKER_01]: So like I knew that there was just going to be a ton of announcements and news and things of that nature.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, like, I wasn't expecting a new fire emblem, but yeah, I was right attention was the reaction afterwards where people were just like, oh, he has locks.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sold.

[SPEAKER_03]: So now like other people who probably wouldn't have played fire emblem before this particular game are probably going to be interested in the series, just a little bit because the protagonist isn't your typical, doesn't have your typical look.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, I mean, like they, I mean, the dragon, I mean, dragon fire emblem FE was had it didn't have a typical look, either with a weird like Colgate hair style with the red in the blue.

[SPEAKER_00]: And this is like half red half.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_03]: When I say not a typical look, I just mean this this pro tag has dark skin.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think the look the I think the set up on this one is a lot better than they've had in the last one they tried.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what they were thinking with that, but yeah, but this one absolutely looks it looks good in instance.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I really want to try three houses because everyone tells me three houses is the best is one of the is one of the good ones.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I need to mess with that one, but

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, overall I was a little disappointed and this is my own personal take on it because of a couple of things.

[SPEAKER_00]: So one, I think the fact that these like, friends, these remasters that they're doing like, I mean,

[SPEAKER_00]: Super Mario wonder great game.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now there's a switch to version and then the thing that they're adding to it is going to be like a new mode That is just going to be like a for team of a teammate and then they're going to just drive this price up for that game is Now I can see my friends in 360p buddy.

[SPEAKER_01]: Are exactly like what

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's scummy, man.

[SPEAKER_00]: It just reminds me of what's called Mario Party and then the one, the, the, the ad on the Jambrees.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, like, that, that, like, you pay $2,000.

[SPEAKER_00]: You pay $2,000.

[SPEAKER_00]: You pay $2,000.

[SPEAKER_00]: You pay $2,000.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: So it was some purchase.

[SPEAKER_00]: It was Garbage, man.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then on top of that, there was also DLC that was announced for a game that's not even out yet, which was Pokemon ZEA.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then they decided to say, oh, we're going to be releasing the, uh,

[SPEAKER_00]: that's going to be coming out soon.

[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't give a time of when that's going to come out, but they know that ZAs coming out in October 10th, but then yet they announced that there's going to be paid DLC for it.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm just like, what do you all do in here, man?

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like, it's just kind of like, it's making me kind of worried about like the, uh,

[SPEAKER_00]: the the the place of the direction the Nintendo's going not not not because of this in general, but just just on the direct like for instance, did you know how many like little Chachkees that they were selling like remember the talking flower that that was inside the wonder now you have a physical talking flower that will randomly say things now like you're like like you really need nothing so quick.

[SPEAKER_00]: There is no plug indeed I know right and then like they're selling the selling the story book from Mario Galaxy one or two or whatever that Resario was reading.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like what is like what is happening?

[SPEAKER_00]: I know it's just so weird that like on the direction that they're going and and like like you said the virtual boy Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know if I like I don't know if I like where it's going to cut where it like how this is coming

[SPEAKER_03]: I was a little surprised by this direct because with it being Mario's anniversary, and this isn't me being like, you know, a Sega head or like a final fantasy head.

[SPEAKER_03]: But I've noticed that with the other two companies, when it's time for their anniversary, they not only do a remaster or remake, but they also come up with a new title.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I was really surprised to not see an actual new like mainline.

[SPEAKER_03]: Mario title, uh, at all, just nothing but, uh, remakes.

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, if if you want to count, you know, she has mainline, sure.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not, I have that really buying it, but it was really shocking to me to not see, you know, it's, it's Mario's 40.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's true.

[SPEAKER_03]: And there's no, there's no new title.

[SPEAKER_03]: Another shocking thing was I think Nintendo and Sega actually beefing again because not one Sonic game was not one Announcement.

[SPEAKER_03]: There was no Sonic at this direct.

[SPEAKER_03]: In fact, there have been no Sonic at the previous direct and then none of this one was pretty funny

[SPEAKER_00]: because they're making some across worlds and they're filling threatened for their Mario Kart.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's why that was just what I could think.

[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I don't know, man.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I mean, like, you know, I guess one of the cool things was that Resident Evil, the 789, will be coming to the Switch 2, which is cool.

[SPEAKER_00]: I will say.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that, I mean, for to say that they can hang with the, like, especially getting a day one release on

[SPEAKER_00]: is going to become like it's not that there's not going to be any like six months in between the original version in that come out it's coming out the same exact day as everyone else out pretty impressive I will say Yeah, yeah, so then and then but the one obviously hyped about oddly enough is fatal frame two remake which was which is the best fatal frame in my opinion, so that's going to be a good one to

[SPEAKER_00]: to to check out, but that's not exclusive, so I'm not I'm not really counting that for an intended winner or not, so yeah, but yeah, I mean it like

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, there was no there was really no hype moment.

[SPEAKER_00]: I would say that this that this direct gave me.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I can see that, dude.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it just gave me more worry.

[SPEAKER_00]: Kind of pisses me off like to what pop point.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's surprising that they did 30 minutes of like about Mario's 40th anniversary, but no announcement for anything new that's coming in.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's been when you think about it's been seven years from the last 3D Mario game.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's crazy.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's crazy.

[SPEAKER_01]: I can't believe it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I can't believe they didn't have I can't believe you're right I cannot believe they didn't announce a new like we're on a new generation of Console for them as well and it's like there's still no main like

[SPEAKER_01]: It's Mario Brothers game.

[SPEAKER_03]: Hermione and Donkey Kong have gotten new mainline on this John this county's new gen console for Nintendo.

[SPEAKER_03]: It is just like, oh, have they?

[SPEAKER_01]: He's just going to toss on the side like that.

[SPEAKER_01]: Like what?

[SPEAKER_00]: Not even an announcement, but rather like if you're not announcing it now, then we know we're not gonna get something in 26 So it's gonna be like 27 Yeah, I mean they may be working on something, but maybe they're not in the works of it I like to believe that they do because it may Mario's still the face of Nintendo, but sides like you know the Pokemon companies game paid They're doing they're getting way more, but still it's still

[SPEAKER_00]: Mario is is Nintendo at this point, you know, so like I don't understand like I guess the I mean the good thing is that they are that he's getting his flowers with the new Mario Brothers movie that they announced, but the But the fact of the matter is we're still waiting for Mario a 3D Mario game.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean it's still

[SPEAKER_00]: like people's want a 3D Mario game, they will charge 80 bucks and then people will not begrudgingly say yes to it because they've been it's been so long so who knows man it's uh... yeah so like i said that it was uh... it was a man uh... uh... uh... uh... direct i kind of kind of there was a lot of parts where it kind of pissed me off virtual boy just wow wow i don't even understand

[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, why would you bring that garbage back to that?

[SPEAKER_00]: Is that a part of the Nintendo like you have to be an online member for or can you buy the games like I was selling the games separate separate That's like that's another thing because like if we're going to the home.

[SPEAKER_01]: No, I think because you have to use your switch to right and I think it's part of one of the

[SPEAKER_00]: Is it part of the Nintendo plus or whatever the Nintendo I don't know how my thing is let me see because I got so I was wondering that too because like if you're going to buy hardware for it Like that by hardware for it you have to buy it right like you can't you can't just why would you do it though is my question

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know because I guess terrible, it's terrible then.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but we're only enough to remember it.

[SPEAKER_00]: We've got you got younger people that don't that didn't experience it.

[SPEAKER_01]: But what would be appealing to that, that like thinking about the red is hurting my eyes.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: Thinking about it.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's the way.

[SPEAKER_01]: I guess that's our overload, like what?

[SPEAKER_01]: It's a part of that people don't support that.

[SPEAKER_01]: That is terrible.

[SPEAKER_01]: They should know.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm on Tom's hardware and they say no, this isn't an out of season.

[SPEAKER_00]: April Fool's Day joke.

[SPEAKER_00]: The infamous virtual board titles are coming to Nintendo Switch online with a dedicated virtual boy accessory for Switch to.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, seriously, this is real and coming February 17th on 2026.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you don't want to stump up for the full virtual boy accessory, there will be a cardboard alternative which I suspect will be significantly cheaper.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's the one I'm saying.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's going to be cardboard version.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's going to be a labo version of it.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's what it's going to be a labo version.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, essentially.

[SPEAKER_00]: Dude, now everyone's gonna buy a physical virtual boy looking console for this because that that is easily going to be 150 bucks

[SPEAKER_00]: easily.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's insane.

[SPEAKER_00]: Even though there's no like in standers.

[SPEAKER_01]: No way they can get away with this.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, they're going to get away with them.

[SPEAKER_01]: No way.

[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to get away with this.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're selling the car.

[SPEAKER_01]: For again, if you're going to buy it, come on.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to break it.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to be like, hey, we're going to be missing out some decades on this nonsense.

[SPEAKER_00]: So there you go.

[SPEAKER_00]: sold out, I'm going to you.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be sold out.

[SPEAKER_04]: Watch it.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's crazy.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's crazy.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's a time before, too, where I Davis Green is saying that they're the virtual boy, Nintendo Classic is going to sell out because people are going to people are just going to buy because it's an intent of rolling.

[SPEAKER_01]: And people are idiots.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yep, I can't believe it.

[SPEAKER_01]: Don't.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's why the test run added test run already.

[SPEAKER_01]: They're like, Oh, yeah, you can get this, but you don't need to get this super exclusive hardware.

[SPEAKER_01]: You can get Labo.

[SPEAKER_01]: Look at this sticker.

[SPEAKER_01]: Look at that stickers and tendo, okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: You can use that.

[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, so it's too in there.

[SPEAKER_01]: It also run Final Fantasy intergrade.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't write, oh, that'll be free hilarious.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I need to tend to, they turned into, you know, the villain, they clearly did.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, good way to segue to my topic.

[SPEAKER_00]: I will say this because then I too have something to talk about with Nintendo and if you don't know, so Nintendo is already currently suing Power World because of copyright infringement stuff.

[SPEAKER_00]: Ironically enough, those copyrights were made.

[SPEAKER_00]: a year after the game was released and then they're they're fighting in court for it.

[SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully Power World will win this.

[SPEAKER_00]: I hope they're not going to settle so hang in their power.

[SPEAKER_00]: But in the mean time Nintendo has been busy bees about this and then they are plant the they opened up they applied for broad patents

[SPEAKER_00]: In the United States as long as about two years ago at the latest till now that we're just now recently approved and some of these patents are so they are pretty vague, but yet they are pretty specific for The some people were surprised that this even went through so the patents specifically that Nintendo went with is that the long story short

[SPEAKER_00]: The patent was for game in-game characters to be summoning others to battle.

[SPEAKER_00]: So they're using this as a leverage or stepping stone to kind of keep to keep anyone in check, let alone power world in check for any future future games itself.

[SPEAKER_00]: These patents were approved in the U.S., so mind you, these isn't that they are applying for it, they did, and they were successful about it.

[SPEAKER_00]: So a lot of people are worried about it,

[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't blame them at this point not like the not like a big AAA studio, but rather for indies indies studios per se So like I like some of these companies like companies that made games like like cassette beast or or like even like freaking what's called I don't I want to say slime rancher But it's not I don't think that's right

[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, but anyway some of these smaller small studios who do not have the army of lawyers that like, you know, some of these conglomerates do They don't want to be in the same hemisphere towards all of this.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now even though it's specific There are certain things that they need to reach before it's going to be considered to be a breach of the Nintendo's copyright

[SPEAKER_00]: And there's seven points that they have to go through.

[SPEAKER_00]: The seven points were that there must be a PC console or other company computing device, and the game is stored on a driver's similar storage medium.

[SPEAKER_00]: You can grow a character in a virtual space.

[SPEAKER_00]: You must be able to summon the character that call it a sub character by which they mean it's not the player character, but for example, like a little monster, or like a Pokemon itself, like the Pokemon itself,

[SPEAKER_00]: then the law then it branches out with items four and five but being mutually exclusive scenarios before reeniting again into item six.

[SPEAKER_00]: So combining itself with a combining items together to get to the next item but slot which is

[SPEAKER_00]: really weird while you would go that way, but then also something the sub character in a place where they're already is another character that it will and then fight.

[SPEAKER_00]: So like a Pokemon battle or a battle itself,

[SPEAKER_00]: if you use you summon the character it comes out like what they've out of a ball or whatever that's that's the pattern for the Nintendo itself.

[SPEAKER_00]: Then this alternative scenario is about summoning the sub character at the position where there is no other character to fight immediately so that this final step

[SPEAKER_00]: is about sending the subcharacter in a direction and then letting an automatic battle ensue with another character.

[SPEAKER_00]: It is not clear that in itself is not clear because what that's basically saying is that if you tell your subcharacter or your Pokemon, let's say let's call him Pokemon.

[SPEAKER_00]: I hate calling, say calling it subchargers, but let's say you tell that Pokemon to go fight.

[SPEAKER_00]: a character, like you command it to go attack something else and then it starts a new battle.

[SPEAKER_00]: That is also part of that copyright as well, so like Nino Kuni was like that, that was essentially like that too, in a way, you could either fight with your main character and go attack with it or you could use your, I forgot what they called the, the beats that you, that you capture.

[SPEAKER_00]: and then instigate in the tech for it.

[SPEAKER_00]: So like there's so many different specific steps, even though these steps have to be all in that one deal, it just feels like it's still like to say that it's still a mechanic.

[SPEAKER_00]: that wasn't created by Nintendo, but rather that Nintendo is saying you can't do it this way because we, this is what we've been doing for the past 30 years and stuff.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just insane to me that this was approved.

[SPEAKER_00]: And what's funny here about it though, too, that there's a link somewhere from the Nintendo life, they were said that the Pokemon's former chief legal officer believes

[SPEAKER_00]: Which is hilarious to me.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like you go through all that trouble.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I was like, I don't believe you But I think all that trouble To do it, but like yeah, but but there's a lot of people.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of people from law the law firms are saying that they only understand how this was even passed In right when they came to this kind of deal.

[SPEAKER_00]: So like I just wanted to get you all to take what you all thought about this because like I was like, wow, this is this is

[SPEAKER_00]: This is too much man.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is it.

[SPEAKER_01]: How do you?

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, how do you even like, how do you patent?

[SPEAKER_01]: Like a mechanic like that.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't understand like,

[SPEAKER_01]: And then like if you allow something like this to go through, then people can go nuts on the breaking down elements and what can be patented and what you don't mean like it's this is too much now that but this affects there's so many games that this you know just the how big it is there's so many games that this would fall under and there's no way to help those people are going to allow this.

[SPEAKER_01]: to just sit, you know, and be a thing.

[SPEAKER_01]: But the fact, the way I see it, it's almost like, like, you know, when it comes to replay and like, you know, you have to have to be enough evidence to be able to overturn what the original call is.

[SPEAKER_01]: So the fact that it's already been passed is like, and again, I don't know how if that's how that works and law

[SPEAKER_01]: That's just what I kind of think about when I think of a situation like this and it's just like the empty like you kind of already put out that message like all right, you know, this is this is legal and it's like whoa somebody's got to push back on this because this doesn't like that's no that can't be it that can't be in so it's crazy to me.

[SPEAKER_01]: I am I am it's shocking.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it is shocking.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, what about, what about you, pop, what do you think?

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, well, and for those wondering, you could find the patent online, the full case of it.

[SPEAKER_03]: I looked at it and I don't know, I'm kind of at this point where Nintendo's doing it, but also like, huge themselves in the foot because the patent can.

[SPEAKER_03]: is easily disputable, especially if one of the OGs who came up with the whole concept before Pokemon came into existence decide to come out with another game and they're just like, oh, you know what?

[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to sue you and then their patting gets revoked.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like, patents are always getting like past and then revoked.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think what's what I find interesting is that I think because Nintendo has so much of a microscope on them right now with every, I don't want to say questionable, but every side eyeing decision that they've made within the past couple of years, I see people

[SPEAKER_03]: with all the like doom and gloom where people be like oh what's going to happen with final fantasy and blah blah blah they bigger companies are going to be fine like if they do something and Nintendo tries to come for them Nintendo might go bankrupt because it's just a terrible decision and like what David says with the smaller companies they don't have the you know the strong arm of lawyers

[SPEAKER_03]: But I do hope that they find someone who is creative enough to be like, here, the UI is just Pokemon based and whatever they add to the game, they have enough to dispute.

[SPEAKER_03]: Honestly, I think it'll be funny if an indie company comes out with a game and then they end up disputing the pattern and then it gets a rope from Nintendo.

[SPEAKER_03]: That would be the funniest clap back of all time.

[SPEAKER_03]: Instead of one of the bigger companies doing the clap back and getting it revoked, I would really love to see an indie company like, take a huge W. I would make an indie game itself that they just call it Pokemon and then see it.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, just to see, I mean, good night.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, you know, it's, it's weird.

[SPEAKER_00]: Because you know, we were already kind of salty about the, the Nemesis system.

[SPEAKER_00]: uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

[SPEAKER_00]: establish things that was like, it's like common sense on what you're trying to do and then these are just outside elements.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of like when you bought, when you get a source of resource, like a resource from somewhere else and then say, hey, this would work perfectly in when I'm building, but then later on, you're saying, I'm going to copyright that said resource to for me to do that specifically.

[SPEAKER_00]: You didn't create it, but you used it.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then, and now you're

[SPEAKER_00]: which is crazy to me.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I just don't understand why they feel so threatened about this.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, they saw the numbers of power.

[SPEAKER_00]: They probably were like, oh, well, that guess that means we actually have to work for Pokemon because we haven't been treating Pokemon with the respect that it needs, even though it's a pillar of our

[SPEAKER_00]: like of our gaming side in general but and now and it's like okay so it's either we have to work harder or we'll just make it really hard for the of our uh... for competition to compete with it and they're they decided say okay let's just do be which is going which will which i will not be like originally i was going to get pokemon z a but i decided not to not because of this but just because the system itself isn't pokemon it's more like uh...

[SPEAKER_00]: RCS, which I don't have any actually with RCS, but I just wanted to play a Pokemon game, so we'll get any of that.

[SPEAKER_00]: So the it's just I just felt like this is such a cop-out.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like when you think about like when you think about Nintendo, especially when the Nintendo the week grew up on, we saw so much different kind of innovation, so much different kinds of things that they were just like even though they were very exclusive, even though they still are very exclusive, they didn't

[SPEAKER_00]: Like they didn't care.

[SPEAKER_00]: They were like we I've always said and I've always mentioned when Nintendo was saying that they would they go on the beat of their own drum But now that now that they're doing this just seems like it it seems like they're they're worried for for no apparent reason which is so odd to me and I don't

[SPEAKER_00]: It just disappoints me on where they're going, where this is going, where this is leading.

[SPEAKER_00]: The Nintendo Direct was already a hit on me on me, because it didn't really hype me up.

[SPEAKER_00]: The only thing that really hype me up on the Nintendo Direct was the Fire Emblem and the Mario Tennis.

[SPEAKER_00]: That was it.

[SPEAKER_00]: But like everything else.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, so it just hurts.

[SPEAKER_00]: It just hurts to see this and I just hope that I hope that they like like like we were saying earlier that companies just covered start playing making games that that or were already established that uses something close to the system that they copyrighted and then have that and then have have the force Nintendo to fight them and court for it.

[SPEAKER_00]: But we'll just see hey hey monster answers back that after 30 years is finally it's coming back.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, oh, no, it's like where you're going to do, what's the thing to do?

[SPEAKER_00]: Dragon Quest monsters, man.

[SPEAKER_00]: We have to see the Dragon Quest monsters in such a long time, like let alone that style.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that'd be great, you know?

[SPEAKER_00]: That's just like so many of these every game.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, Kudi 3, even though 2 was not that good, but you know, Kudi 3, we'll just do it, just like just bring it, just bring all different versions of it, and then just so we have a chance for

[SPEAKER_00]: them to try and stop this nonsense this ridiculous this you know yeah it's but anyways it's it sucks it sucks is here it sucks to check out but anyways but then but it was pop won't you close this out when you bring into the table have another ridiculous moment um so

[SPEAKER_03]: And in Spidey might start the punch and air as I go through this, but Borderlands 4 came up this week and there have been plenty of plenty of steam reviews and other comments across social media platforms and in reddit forums about the optimization for the game, especially on PC.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's an optimization.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think you're going to find out, you're going to find out.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, sorry.

[SPEAKER_03]: He, for those that don't know who Randy Pitchford is, CEO of Gearbox, so basically CEO of Whirland's itself.

[SPEAKER_03]: Um, puts out a tweet.

[SPEAKER_03]: The initial tweet is fine where, you know, he's just like, we've had, uh,

[SPEAKER_03]: I had some work done for players to tweak settings in order to get the knowledge that players may need from their hardware, we're working on optimization.

[SPEAKER_03]: You don't have to wait for a patch to get a nice frame rate, but we'll give some tips and guidance along the way.

[SPEAKER_03]: So it starts all pretty strong, where he's just like, you know, if you're running Windows 10, try this setting.

[SPEAKER_03]: And then the first red flag is Windows 10 is not optimized for gaming on modern hardware.

[SPEAKER_03]: So at this point, it's just like, what is he considering modern?

[SPEAKER_03]: And then as it continues on, it gets worse where he has one comment, it was just like, you know, if you have DLSS as an option, especially if you're running at a higher resolution than 1080p, the input latency is negligible.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm kind of scratching my head there because I'm just like, what the heck does DLSS have to do with input latency?

[SPEAKER_03]: Like, they're not really connected.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's strictly frame rate.

[SPEAKER_03]: Last but not least was the, in this part of this is right, but it, it's kind of clashing with who's making the complaints because a lot of the complaints are coming from people who have higher in PCs, but higher in specs like my own set of is on the higher in.

[SPEAKER_03]: So people who have like a 50 series RTX, I may be one of the higher in AMD, graphics card as well as current

[SPEAKER_03]: So he proceeds to say, I know a lot of you are dead set on playing at 4K with ultimax settings and using two or three year old hardware.

[SPEAKER_03]: And this is where I had to pause because I'm just like two to three years ago, you're reaching like 40 series territory.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's still good enough to do 4K gaming as well as the previous gen of AMD and Intel CPUs.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so later on, he responds to someone else.

[SPEAKER_03]: He was just like the specs that I available on Steam.

[SPEAKER_03]: And when I was checking earlier, I was telling this video.

[SPEAKER_03]: I was just like so far, the minimum recommended specs.

[SPEAKER_03]: are an i7 9th gen and r7 2700x 16 gigabytes of RAM for memory at RTX 2070 and the radion rx 5700x t.

[SPEAKER_03]: The recommended requirements are an i7, 12th gen, an RS7, 5800x, 32 gigabytes of RAM, an RTX 3080, and the radion RX 6600, 6800xD.

[SPEAKER_03]: I had to go back and look at the dates, and I'm just like, you're saying that

[SPEAKER_03]: people who are playing on hardware that is as old as the recommended settings this morning for k but i don't know about y'all but all of my friends that game one for k have 4k gear they're not they have the modern gear and even though yeah you know you can't look at people setups but there are sites who are gathering the status of things i saw once we were someone grabbed

[SPEAKER_03]: a screenshot of how 50 90s were performing and apparently the average frame rate for 50 90 is at 36 of PS.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, not for a K. Oh, unfortunately, okay, I can see that.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, for a K, for a K, yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: Some other specs, 50 90 at 1080p.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't even want to say it, but the average is like 52 of PS.

[SPEAKER_03]: Can't even hit 60 at 1080p.

[SPEAKER_03]: What a 50 90.

[SPEAKER_03]: On a 50 90 at 1080?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's that's actually very concerning.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's what Jesus.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: I just want to ask you a bunch of you all.

[SPEAKER_03]: So it's because like we talk about optimization all the time where you know you have some people who just who think their PC is God said it can do whatever even though it's like five years old.

[SPEAKER_03]: But.

[SPEAKER_03]: Um, this isn't looking like the case with borderlands is more so looking like people with higher NPCs who are looking forward to the game or just straight up disappointed that they can't do that.

[SPEAKER_00]: It, um, well, I mean, it doesn't matter what what I think pop, you know, but you know who you know who it or do you know who we should check to to see what matters.

[SPEAKER_00]: The number one resource for reviews, which is the steam reviews as always.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I've been looking at up, just to see what's going on.

[SPEAKER_00]: And it's currently sending at mixed reviews, I will say.

[SPEAKER_00]: Which is not bad, but out of 15.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it is bad actually.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's only day three.

[SPEAKER_00]: So 15,000.

[SPEAKER_00]: So far, usually when on the mix, unless they fix it, let's say quickly optimize, which this is going to be a little bit of a stranger case, because this is going to be more on the, they're saying, like, pitch for the same one thing, which is said, said something start at the start of it as like, you know, what you're expecting it.

[SPEAKER_00]: But then he's saying that,

[SPEAKER_00]: people should kind of tolerate what his like should be where he, his, his standard is at, which is impossible to do, let alone the PC world, because I mean, the PC world is so vast, so open that you should, like you should, the rule number one is you optimize, you, you make the game on the, on the potato to a, it works on the potato.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, people are still running Windows 10.

[SPEAKER_00]: like this isn't your first game let alone like the first game that you ever made and then yeah you're telling me that there was no shortcuts on the optimization that this game could have done even on modern-day console or modern-day graphics that you're still hitting 1080 and it's not even hit in 60.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's crazy to me.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like what like that 60 is like a bar first person sure needs to be at the Naviged about 120 needs to be a 120 for FPS on itself and then POS people will be like perfectly fine But due to stage not in 60 Well first off spin the you're the one actually played this before we get into the steam reviews like like how does this game overall look like for you like what's your experience so far?

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it looks great.

[SPEAKER_01]: It has, for me, it has felt actually pretty, pretty good.

[SPEAKER_01]: I have not run into these issues where it just boots me.

[SPEAKER_01]: My, you know, I, I think I, I know, I think I'm running at 60 frames.

[SPEAKER_01]: I have to go and look.

[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't seen like the pump it up or anything like that, but my experience so far has been, uh, has been great.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, sure.

[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, and I got an AMD Ryzen 7, 5800 X. So yeah, I haven't, I've those things.

[SPEAKER_01]: I have not experienced it at all.

[SPEAKER_01]: I am loving it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I just wish my body would let me stay up so I can get a good long session.

[SPEAKER_00]: you need to take care.

[SPEAKER_00]: You need to look at the freight like turn on the frame rate on your when you play to see because that's the real thing.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like especially with all the gun fights that happen.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's probably where the big slowdown is going to be at.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, I mean, it doesn't slow down at all for me.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well, like yeah, but yeah, yeah, because like I, it's really weird because like I'm looking at all these different reviews of it and it seems pretty substantial of like the optimal the biggest issue is optimization so here's a couple of them so this guy named Nick says.

[SPEAKER_00]: The game is great, fun, full of things to do, basically what you would expect for Borderlands when it runs.

[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, that's a sleigh, a slated compliment there, but he says that the game is riddled with a total lack of optimization.

[SPEAKER_00]: They want everyone to use scalars and frame gen to go above 60 frames per second, which is absolutely not acceptable.

[SPEAKER_00]: Crash is free this, stuttering, and the graphics just doesn't justify the incredible hardware requests of this title.

[SPEAKER_00]: Frame Gen and Scalors are our technologies made to improve the performance, not aim to reach the bare minimum at 60 FPS.

[SPEAKER_00]: Unreal 5 is ruining the game along with the incompetent devs.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that in its sense is like if that's what they were relying for this game to run is crazy to me.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like let alone to say that the bar like they're saying to use that to run at 60 is crazy.

[SPEAKER_00]: What?

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I don't like I don't know anything about this and if as many and some of these computers not that old.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, some of these computers kind of look like three years old right it's two three years old.

[SPEAKER_00]: I've switched out components.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but still not up to date.

[SPEAKER_00]: You said you're using a gen as a gen 9.

[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, no, Ryzen 7.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, I mean, but you're rising seven to the dead nine or is it a, uh, like, okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, yeah, I, I don't know, like, but yeah, because you might have an update today version.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, but it's really weird.

[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, so another one, his name is Bromo 1994.

[SPEAKER_00]: He says, like, I can have hours without a crash and then have multiple consecutive crashes in the same area.

[SPEAKER_00]: This game is a broken mess right now, even after the latest update, regardless of the price paid and performance, etc.

[SPEAKER_00]: A game should be playable on releases of bare minimum and this game massively falls short.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, yeah, that that goes without saying definitely.

[SPEAKER_00]: And it says unfortunately the game runs as badly as everyone says it does and I do not have a bad PC.

[SPEAKER_00]: He is running a. Oh, he has a 50 90.

[SPEAKER_00]: He has a 50 90.

[SPEAKER_00]: What they.

[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: What the 9600 X D. Oh, no.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, rising nine.

[SPEAKER_01]: uh... xd wow okay and then he has a hundred twenty eight gigs of ram and he's saying that he's going that's too much ram insane that's insane maybe if you're like a production company and you're like do you like heavy like vf at you know i want to say that they might be like an india maybe they're like working on their own game on the side or something i don't know we don't kinkshake we don't kinkshame here okay

[SPEAKER_03]: I can't tell you, let's tell one, ninety-six gigabytes of RAM, perhaps it's a lot of reason.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's not only that though too, I mean the freaking graphics card alone is at 24 gigs, 24 gigs itself, so like it's crazy.

[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I mean that's wild.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so let's see, I'm gonna try to find a positive.

[SPEAKER_00]: The problem with the, okay, so here's the problem that I have with positives.

[SPEAKER_00]: The problem with positives is that they're looking at the game.

[SPEAKER_00]: try not to be objective right yeah and so let me see there are some let me see like some of these like pretty good so far it's like oh yeah it doesn't help let's see yes there there are performance issues but I don't believe it's as bad as it's made out

[SPEAKER_00]: They are patching it and they made a slight adjustments.

[SPEAKER_00]: More work on the UI is required along with some of the other QOL, which is quality of life.

[SPEAKER_00]: Overall eight and a half and ten so far, overall having a blast.

[SPEAKER_00]: I would agree to disagree with you because here's the problem I have.

[SPEAKER_00]: Two months ago, they made Borderlands 4.

[SPEAKER_00]: There were going to say this game is going to be, there were teasing it to be an $80 game.

[SPEAKER_00]: If, do you know how pissed I would have been at $80 for it to say that this game is not running a full optimization?

[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm sorry.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not sure.

[SPEAKER_03]: Randy's coming a while back about not being able to get an $80 game.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the hubris on that man loan on just that point would drive me.

[SPEAKER_00]: to the brink of insanity, to say that your expectations of me as the consumer, to say that I need this to play your damn game, is ridiculous to me, and then the fact that you were like y'all were teasing that this game is going to be hitting that 80 bucks, and then you knew because of the negative feedback you were getting back because you said something that didn't

[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's that is crazy to say that your optimization is this bad just like I'm already saying like the optimization and Dragon Balls get Gick kitchen squadra is bad and it's a free to play game and I don't even want like and it's not making me want to pay for it.

[SPEAKER_03]: So here's what Randy has to say for that if you discover your system can't run the game well by accident or wishful thinking and or don't want to try to mess with the settings to make things good enough for you Please use the refund feature on steam rather than have a subpar experience So that quote alone is is It was in the wrong way.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is we each never want to buy a game from gearbox again.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be there that that's yeah

[SPEAKER_03]: That's so horrible, like I don't even know what what sucks is like the beginning starts off so well, where it's just like the minimum recommended specs are published.

[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, Berlin's four can't run on a PSPS four, so it can't be expected to run on a two to old PC and this is when he just like, you know, you can't run it on a 10 year old PC, which I'm like, yeah, sure that's how that's how that's how it works that's how new gen stuff works.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but then you he just goes off on this tangent and it ends with that.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, that is not how you want to talk to your customers.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's that's freaking ridiculous.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's crazy.

[SPEAKER_00]: This guy straight up his.

[SPEAKER_00]: He says, okay, this guy.

[SPEAKER_00]: What's his day of his name is?

[SPEAKER_00]: This name is Kyle.

[SPEAKER_00]: So guys, it was Kyle says that he's been playing borderlands as a whole for about 15 years now mainly borderlands two with God at least five.

[SPEAKER_00]: with God at least 5,000 hours, maybe over all the platforms, especially on PlayStation.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now I'm starting to see they really were a one hit wonder.

[SPEAKER_00]: The last two games suck ass, the pre sequel was mediocre and the amazing compared to the last two and now this is a mess.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's just negate whatever he just said right there.

[SPEAKER_00]: Don't get me wrong.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's just that's to see doesn't like the story or the mode or the the vision itself.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, fair.

[SPEAKER_00]: This doesn't I'm I'm not in that I'm not saying I don't evaluate if like not not saying that his his feelings doesn't count.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just this is not to the point where we're looking at.

[SPEAKER_00]: But this doesn't look like Borderlands other than its gooey system.

[SPEAKER_00]: This doesn't play like Borderlands feels more like a destiny.

[SPEAKER_00]: And the optimization is the optimization is absurd.

[SPEAKER_00]: This guy has a lot of typos.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to keep up with this gearbox.

[SPEAKER_00]: You've done the impossible and ruined an entire game series.

[SPEAKER_00]: Congrats.

[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry to anyone who paid for this game.

[SPEAKER_00]: And if you haven't played more than two hours refund this mess.

[SPEAKER_00]: And at least get way to black Friday to you by it again.

[SPEAKER_00]: This game's going to be hidden like $10.

[SPEAKER_03]: Under the post, under that last line comment, this was a, this stood up to me because I think this is the part that he's missing, where it was, this, this, to the user says, Randy, this is pure deflection.

[SPEAKER_03]: No one is asking for Borderlands 4 to run perfectly on a 10 year old PC.

[SPEAKER_03]: We're talking about mainstream GPUs like the RTX 3060 and 4060, the most common cards in the market right now per steam.

[SPEAKER_03]: They can obliterate visually richer titles from years ago, yet B.O.4 struggles at 1080p because UE5's pipeline is bloated and inefficient.

[SPEAKER_03]: Your premium game for premium gamers narrative is hollow.

[SPEAKER_03]: Premium hardware should not be required for a sell-shaded shooter that looks similar or worse than a decade old titles.

[SPEAKER_03]: Telling players to use a refund feature if they don't like it as an omission that the product is defective.

[SPEAKER_03]: the card that they that is of at the minimum settings, what is it?

[SPEAKER_03]: The yeah, 27 is outperforms consoles by a long shot.

[SPEAKER_03]: So there's no reason why they should even have issues running it at 1080p, but they are.

[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's that's optimization.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's all optimization.

[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't so I'll be what scary is that so what is is the consoles locked at 30 that has to be locked at 30 if they're having issues at 60.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I don't know I've been I didn't have time to to look at it because that that came across my timeline like last night.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, oh, I got my topic for tomorrow.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I know I'm not, I wasn't really a big board lens fan.

[SPEAKER_00]: I still need a play board lens, too.

[SPEAKER_00]: People tell me I need to play the second one.

[SPEAKER_00]: The second one's great.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's great.

[SPEAKER_00]: Really okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: So like I love to have it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I have it, but I just haven't played yet, but yeah, but

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this is very sad.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I wanted to be successful.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, I always want, I don't, I don't wish any badwill for it, but I just hate lazy and the way triple A develops games is such a God awful mess.

[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like it's, it's, it feels like it's going backwards to what the, the quality of what we had 15, 20 years ago.

[SPEAKER_00]: And it's, I don't know, maybe it's getting worse.

[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe it's just my experience and because I mean, I've done like destiny launches and they're terrible, they, you know what I mean, like I am an experience half this stuff just me personally that these people have experience playing playing the game and I'm having

[SPEAKER_01]: the exact opposite reaction, although I think Randy again is one of those people that is like what would benefit him the most is just shutting the fuck up and he lets his ego and he's got to say all these words and like he doesn't have to do all that.

[SPEAKER_01]: He's just the game speaks for itself.

[SPEAKER_01]: There's always going to be people now that are complaining, but it's crazy to think that somebody would try to compare it to destiny.

[SPEAKER_01]: when curly borderlands came out before destiny.

[SPEAKER_01]: So that's just insane.

[SPEAKER_01]: Even think about it doesn't play like destiny.

[SPEAKER_01]: The gunplay doesn't feel like destiny.

[SPEAKER_01]: They whoever wrote that I will say right now.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm calling shenanigans and maybe that's their opinion.

[SPEAKER_01]: But from what I've experienced and I played them both.

[SPEAKER_01]: It does not feel or play like destiny.

[SPEAKER_00]: And Destiny is the night and day difference comparatively to it because I mean Destiny you have to have live service like a hundred percent on then the thing the Prodigy with that's he was a servers not though not the game itself as a platform right or was right.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so yeah No, the servers and stuff.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so if the servers were like bogged down or messed up because of traffic Which it was at the beginning of Destiny's deal was because there's so many people playing it

[SPEAKER_00]: uh... it wasn't it wasn't optimization that was that was code that was holding destiny back so even just in general that's a bad that's a bad like uh... comparison to what your place in place in this game to be like uh... i don't yeah so i don't know like what they wait when he's getting out with it but he makes it very easy to not like you like not like him because it's just though just the ego that he that he's just pushing out towards everyone that love what that got that person's comment is i hope you got that they got a lot of uh

[SPEAKER_00]: likes on what she what they what they said because that is that is basically like You can't say it any better at this point.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like your base or gaslighting us trying to gaslight us on this at the Essentially it's like yes, we know gaming is hard moving.

[SPEAKER_00]: We yes.

[SPEAKER_00]: We know we know developing in game is very is very difficult to do but at the same time

[SPEAKER_00]: You're like, if you're doing it for free, we won't have a, we don't have a lake to stay on on on, on complaint, but you're telling us to pay $70 for this.

[SPEAKER_00]: And now you're telling us to, like, like, if you don't like it, then get out.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, I mean, what do you want to tell, what are you telling us as a consumer?

[SPEAKER_01]: you're okay so yeah so it's really it's really frustrating it's really annoying that that that that that's a terrible terrible look to as a business as well oh yeah and again he's gonna end up I think he's gonna end up getting them like I'm sure they've got a board that's looking at him sideways uh and you know it just game will probably be

[SPEAKER_01]: successful, relatively successful.

[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, but at some point in time, I feel like his mouth is going to get the better of him.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's definitely going to get him in trouble, especially since at this point, can you really blame on real engine five?

[SPEAKER_03]: Because Sonic Racing Crossworld runs off of that and people have been playing that game on their 1660.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's like, no, it's not.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: You absolutely cannot blame the, uh, the engine.

[SPEAKER_00]: The reason why y'all went that engine was because it was something in that engine that that should decide not to use unity for.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know, dude.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: So whatever, man, it's like they're going, he's digging his grave.

[SPEAKER_00]: I just, it's unfortunate.

[SPEAKER_03]: I hope I don't like my eye on the sales for that game because I feel like if that specific comment gets enough traction if people are just going to start refunding the game out of spite.

[SPEAKER_00]: What's the peak?

[SPEAKER_00]: I just want to see what the peak is for this game.

[SPEAKER_00]: This game has to be pretty big.

[SPEAKER_00]: Steam DB.

[SPEAKER_00]: See what boardlands four was.

[SPEAKER_00]: So boardlands four's peak was 304 thousand.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that's for last three days.

[SPEAKER_00]: So there you go, so it doesn't even be so strong.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's still high up.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh God, yes.

[SPEAKER_00]: So strong is that 375,000.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_00]: OK, so OK, there you go.

[SPEAKER_00]: So unfortunately, OK, well, so let's just see, let's just hope and pray that they're going to fix the stuff fast or whatever, is there something going to be the real question?

[SPEAKER_00]: Besides the optimization needs to be fixed on the modern day

[SPEAKER_00]: Is everyone that doesn't have a modern day PC is basically SOL at this point.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just ridiculous.

[SPEAKER_00]: So It's it's ridiculous.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know man.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's so bad.
