I I it's one of the best years for game I I it's one of the best years for game releases but then for me like as a PC releases but then for me like as a PC releases but then for me like as a PC Gamer we also had some like the worst PC Gamer we also had some like the worst PC Gamer we also had some like the worst PC boards history so so it's like yeah but boards history so so it's like yeah but boards history so so it's like yeah but but yeah know in terms of like the but yeah know in terms of like the but yeah know in terms of like the amount of like I guess high-profile amount of like I guess high-profile amount of like I guess high-profile games that we got this is like we're games that we got this is like we're games that we got this is like we're probably never going to have a year like probably never going to have a year like probably never going to have a year like this again for a long time yeah I think this again for a long time yeah I think this again for a long time yeah I think like I remember of course pandemic was like I remember of course pandemic was like I remember of course pandemic was the pandemic there wasn't many like the pandemic there wasn't many like the pandemic there wasn't many like releases then 2020 one was like still releases then 2020 one was like still releases then 2020 one was like still getting out of that pandemic rut but getting out of that pandemic rut but getting out of that pandemic rut but last year and this year were amazing last year and this year were amazing last year and this year were amazing like last year was also very good for me like last year was also very good for me like last year was also very good for me personally I had a lot of games that I personally I had a lot of games that I personally I had a lot of games that I played last year and honestly last year played last year and honestly last year played last year and honestly last year I played more of the game of the year I played more of the game of the year I played more of the game of the year nominees than this year but um last year nominees than this year but um last year nominees than this year but um last year was Elden ring God of War Xenoblade uh was Elden ring God of War Xenoblade uh was Elden ring God of War Xenoblade uh plague tail and Bayonetta and stray and plague tail and Bayonetta and stray and plague tail and Bayonetta and stray and some other games but this year I think some other games but this year I think some other games but this year I think the quality of games is the quality of games is the quality of games is like I with you on that oh my God is so like I with you on that oh my God is so like I with you on that oh my God is so gooday is good I like stray I'm be here gooday is good I like stray I'm be here gooday is good I like stray I'm be here sitting like it's one of the best things sitting like it's one of the best things sitting like it's one of the best things ever made but it was fun I like it I'm a ever made but it was fun I like it I'm a ever made but it was fun I like it I'm a dog person but I also love stray like dog person but I also love stray like dog person but I also love stray like not g of the year but I did like it it not g of the year but I did like it it not g of the year but I did like it it was a game but yeah what what were your was a game but yeah what what were your was a game but yeah what what were your favorites from this year like of course favorites from this year like of course favorites from this year like of course the the ones that are nominated of the the ones that are nominated of the the ones that are nominated of course there's a lot of favorites but course there's a lot of favorites but course there's a lot of favorites but also including the games that were not also including the games that were not also including the games that were not on the list as well um you can go you can go I'm sorry um you can go you can go I'm sorry actually I was going to pick back up

get my hands on Origins cuz I was like I get my hands on Origins cuz I was like I it threw me off I was just like this is it threw me off I was just like this is it threw me off I was just like this is really it looks so different from what really it looks so different from what really it looks so different from what the bayetta 3's lore then Origins the bayetta 3's lore then Origins the bayetta 3's lore then Origins corrects that at the very very very end corrects that at the very very very end corrects that at the very very very end and you're and you're and you're like satisfying for me cuz three was like satisfying for me cuz three was like satisfying for me cuz three was like what are we doing no I had to check like what are we doing no I had to check like what are we doing no I had to check that out then yeah for sure yeah oh for that out then yeah for sure yeah oh for that out then yeah for sure yeah oh for me I basically played a lot of the me I basically played a lot of the me I basically played a lot of the nominations as well like the only ones nominations as well like the only ones nominations as well like the only ones that I haven't played is Alan Wake and that I haven't played is Alan Wake and that I haven't played is Alan Wake and Ballers gate but I also really like them Ballers gate but I also really like them Ballers gate but I also really like them and for the ones that haven't been and for the ones that haven't been and for the ones that haven't been nominated Ryan kod is probably still one nominated Ryan kod is probably still one nominated Ryan kod is probably still one of my favorite releases from this year of my favorite releases from this year of my favorite releases from this year it's a very weird game and it's also I it's a very weird game and it's also I it's a very weird game and it's also I don't necessarily think it even deserves don't necessarily think it even deserves don't necessarily think it even deserves to be like nominated or something it's to be like nominated or something it's to be like nominated or something it's not like it got snubbed or anything not like it got snubbed or anything not like it got snubbed or anything because it has a lot of problems but because it has a lot of problems but because it has a lot of problems but there's something about it that makes it there's something about it that makes it there's something about it that makes it like really memorable and really special like really memorable and really special like really memorable and really special to me from this yeares does it live up to me from this yeares does it live up to me from this yeares does it live up to dangan to dangan to dangan rompa I it's better than the first D rompa I it's better than the first D rompa I it's better than the first D rompa but I don't think it's as good as rompa but I don't think it's as good as rompa but I don't think it's as good as to or V Tre is very polariz some people to or V Tre is very polariz some people to or V Tre is very polariz some people say it's the worst game by far I think say it's the worst game by far I think say it's the worst game by far I think it's the best one and I think rain cold it's the best one and I think rain cold it's the best one and I think rain cold is like slightly below V tree okay I I is like slightly below V tree okay I I is like slightly below V tree okay I I really like rain cold um that's a really really like rain cold um that's a really really like rain cold um that's a really cool thing they did with like it's like cool thing they did with like it's like cool thing they did with like it's like the original developers of dangan Roa the original developers of dangan Roa the original developers of dangan Roa and they just did a new IP right and they just did a new IP right and they just did a new IP right yeah yeah but you feel that still it's yeah yeah but you feel that still it's yeah yeah but you feel that still it's kind of like how they went from with kind of like how they went from with kind of like how they went from with from software from Dark Souls to Elden from software from Dark Souls to Elden from software from Dark Souls to Elden ring it's like you can feel the same DNA

ring it's like you can feel the same DNA ring it's like you can feel the same DNA in it but it's also very different in it but it's also very different in it but it's also very different that's the same way R code like the same that's the same way R code like the same that's the same way R code like the same type of game but you can feel that's type of game but you can feel that's type of game but you can feel that's kind of a dangara seel thing yeah like kind of a dangara seel thing yeah like kind of a dangara seel thing yeah like the spiritual successor I guess is the the spiritual successor I guess is the the spiritual successor I guess is the best like to say that's cool should have best like to say that's cool should have best like to say that's cool should have mentioned armor core oh yeah armor I mentioned armor core oh yeah armor I mentioned armor core oh yeah armor I don't know how many gotten more don't know how many gotten more don't know how many gotten more nominations I I generally that was nominations I I generally that was nominations I I generally that was probably one of the most like like that probably one of the most like like that probably one of the most like like that probably is the best combat game that we probably is the best combat game that we probably is the best combat game that we got probably this year in just terms of got probably this year in just terms of got probably this year in just terms of like the customization and enemy variety like the customization and enemy variety like the customization and enemy variety and stuff man that was a good one so and stuff man that was a good one so and stuff man that was a good one so smooth oh yeah oh man that's a game I smooth oh yeah oh man that's a game I smooth oh yeah oh man that's a game I haven't played yet but I'm really haven't played yet but I'm really haven't played yet but I'm really interested in getting it something interested in getting it something interested in getting it something holding me back originally but since holding me back originally but since holding me back originally but since everyone's praising it so much I do everyone's praising it so much I do everyone's praising it so much I do really want to pick it up at some point really want to pick it up at some point really want to pick it up at some point I feel bad cuz I thought it was going to I feel bad cuz I thought it was going to I feel bad cuz I thought it was going to like not be good I was like oh from like not be good I was like oh from like not be good I was like oh from software is not showing any trailers software is not showing any trailers software is not showing any trailers they're not marketing the game it's not they're not marketing the game it's not they're not marketing the game it's not going to be good it was like the going to be good it was like the going to be good it was like the opposite of how I felt for tears of the opposite of how I felt for tears of the opposite of how I felt for tears of the Kingdom cuz Nintendo was doing that but Kingdom cuz Nintendo was doing that but Kingdom cuz Nintendo was doing that but I was like oh they have something up I was like oh they have something up I was like oh they have something up their sleeve they don't want to show it their sleeve they don't want to show it their sleeve they don't want to show it but it was the opposite for me with the but it was the opposite for me with the but it was the opposite for me with the armored Core I don't know why I was armored Core I don't know why I was armored Core I don't know why I was being so negative about it and then it being so negative about it and then it being so negative about it and then it came out and it was really good I was came out and it was really good I was came out and it was really good I was like okay I think I should give this a like okay I think I should give this a like okay I think I should give this a shot yeah I I'll probably play it next shot yeah I I'll probably play it next shot yeah I I'll probably play it next year on PC I'm looking forward to that year on PC I'm looking forward to that year on PC I'm looking forward to that but for me a game that was I guess snu but for me a game that was I guess snu but for me a game that was I guess snu nubbed and I I'll talk about this a nubbed and I I'll talk about this a nubbed and I I'll talk about this a little later but you guys definitely little later but you guys definitely little later but you guys definitely know this I'm a huge Xenoblade fan the know this I'm a huge Xenoblade fan the know this I'm a huge Xenoblade fan the DLC for Xenoblade 3 this year was

games because it's other Street Fighter games because it's other Street Fighter games because it's there's so many more casual people I can there's so many more casual people I can there's so many more casual people I can hop on right now I have 40 hours in the hop on right now I have 40 hours in the hop on right now I have 40 hours in the game it's and it's a fighting game um game it's and it's a fighting game um game it's and it's a fighting game um but I it's really beginner friendly as but I it's really beginner friendly as but I it's really beginner friendly as well which is nice I can attest to that well which is nice I can attest to that well which is nice I can attest to that yeah that's true it it's it's not it's yeah that's true it it's it's not it's yeah that's true it it's it's not it's not super sweaty it's not going to you

not super sweaty it's not going to you not super sweaty it's not going to you know but because of I want to say know but because of I want to say know but because of I want to say politics but I guess politics of well politics but I guess politics of well politics but I guess politics of well you have your own category because you have your own category because you have your own category because you're going to win best fighting game you're going to win best fighting game you're going to win best fighting game but it's like tears of the Kingdom but it's like tears of the Kingdom but it's like tears of the Kingdom probably would win whatever it's its probably would win whatever it's its probably would win whatever it's its category and it could possibly win game category and it could possibly win game category and it could possibly win game of the year so why you know so that of the year so why you know so that of the year so why you know so that always irks me when they do that to always irks me when they do that to always irks me when they do that to fight games and like I remember smash fight games and like I remember smash fight games and like I remember smash ultimate was like nominated in 2019 cuz ultimate was like nominated in 2019 cuz ultimate was like nominated in 2019 cuz it missed the cut off for 2018 I feel it missed the cut off for 2018 I feel it missed the cut off for 2018 I feel like Street Fighter 6's single player like Street Fighter 6's single player like Street Fighter 6's single player looks better than smash ultimates did looks better than smash ultimates did looks better than smash ultimates did not I mean like I played smash ultimat not I mean like I played smash ultimat not I mean like I played smash ultimat single player and it kind of sucked single player and it kind of sucked single player and it kind of sucked lowkey I didn't I I was not a fan not a lowkey I didn't I I was not a fan not a lowkey I didn't I I was not a fan not a fan of it it just challenges that's all fan of it it just challenges that's all fan of it it just challenges that's all it was CH I I think Smash Bros peaked it it was CH I I think Smash Bros peaked it it was CH I I think Smash Bros peaked it with its single player and brawl and with its single player and brawl and with its single player and brawl and then after that it was just then after that it was just then after that it was just downhill but yeah yeah but yeah um what downhill but yeah yeah but yeah um what downhill but yeah yeah but yeah um what are your guys thoughts on balers Gate 3 are your guys thoughts on balers Gate 3 are your guys thoughts on balers Gate 3 I know like none of you guys have played I know like none of you guys have played I know like none of you guys have played I know arrie Shane you haven't sah and I know arrie Shane you haven't sah and I know arrie Shane you haven't sah and you haven't either right I haven't touch you haven't either right I haven't touch you haven't either right I haven't touch what are your guys' thoughts on the game what are your guys' thoughts on the game what are your guys' thoughts on the game because I I can see the hype for it I because I I can see the hype for it I because I I can see the hype for it I don't know if I get it yet though maybe don't know if I get it yet though maybe don't know if I get it yet though maybe I just have to play the game to get it I just have to play the game to get it I just have to play the game to get it but like what do you guys think about but like what do you guys think about but like what do you guys think about balers Gates balers Gates balers Gates hype it's been hard to say but I do feel hype it's been hard to say but I do feel hype it's been hard to say but I do feel like in like place of deserving to be like in like place of deserving to be like in like place of deserving to be there I feel like it deserves that spot there I feel like it deserves that spot there I feel like it deserves that spot because I don't think I heard anyone because I don't think I heard anyone because I don't think I heard anyone talk about balers gate up until a talk about balers gate up until a talk about balers gate up until a certain day and from that day on every certain day and from that day on every certain day and from that day on every single day on Twitter on YouTube on single day on Twitter on YouTube on single day on Twitter on YouTube on Discord people are talking about it it's

Discord people are talking about it it's Discord people are talking about it it's like very like everyone loves the game like very like everyone loves the game like very like everyone loves the game that played it a lot of people that that played it a lot of people that that played it a lot of people that didn't think that they would be didn't think that they would be didn't think that they would be interested in it now sunk like 200 hours interested in it now sunk like 200 hours interested in it now sunk like 200 hours into it and are loving it or still into it and are loving it or still into it and are loving it or still playing it so in that aspect I do see playing it so in that aspect I do see playing it so in that aspect I do see the hype but also because I haven't the hype but also because I haven't the hype but also because I haven't played it it's a bit hard to see at the played it it's a bit hard to see at the played it it's a bit hard to see at the same time it looks very complicated a same time it looks very complicated a same time it looks very complicated a bit niche as well at the same time so I bit niche as well at the same time so I bit niche as well at the same time so I don't know if it would be for me or not don't know if it would be for me or not don't know if it would be for me or not which is also just why I haven't played which is also just why I haven't played which is also just why I haven't played it yet I feel like it's follows a very it yet I feel like it's follows a very it yet I feel like it's follows a very uh similar story to Elden ring kind of uh similar story to Elden ring kind of uh similar story to Elden ring kind of like you know this more I don't want to like you know this more I don't want to like you know this more I don't want to say Niche but you know a more say Niche but you know a more say Niche but you know a more hardcore game and now it's like been hardcore game and now it's like been hardcore game and now it's like been expanded to like so many people so M expanded to like so many people so M expanded to like so many people so M okay okay okay so one of my really good friends I so one of my really good friends I so one of my really good friends I collect him a lot heyo he this is his collect him a lot heyo he this is his collect him a lot heyo he this is his type of game he loves this game so for type of game he loves this game so for type of game he loves this game so for him he he hated Arma cor cuz he thought him he he hated Arma cor cuz he thought him he he hated Arma cor cuz he thought it was too easy I was like what so for it was too easy I was like what so for it was too easy I was like what so for him I like to get his respect on gam so him I like to get his respect on gam so him I like to get his respect on gam so he loved it I have a coworker you know he loved it I have a coworker you know he loved it I have a coworker you know he's like a DI hard like he only plays he's like a DI hard like he only plays he's like a DI hard like he only plays on PC you know in PC Gamers people talk on PC you know in PC Gamers people talk on PC you know in PC Gamers people talk about Playstation Xbox no PC Gamers about Playstation Xbox no PC Gamers about Playstation Xbox no PC Gamers don't buy games like they're like eh you don't buy games like they're like eh you don't buy games like they're like eh you know and he bought it but he's a huge D know and he bought it but he's a huge D know and he bought it but he's a huge D and D fan so I was like okay if he and D fan so I was like okay if he and D fan so I was like okay if he bought a game and I've known this guy bought a game and I've known this guy bought a game and I've known this guy for a while if he bought a game it has for a while if he bought a game it has for a while if he bought a game it has to be good and then then the third thing to be good and then then the third thing to be good and then then the third thing when I went to PAX East last year or when I went to PAX East last year or when I went to PAX East last year or this year in March um I got to play demo this year in March um I got to play demo this year in March um I got to play demo on psvr2 which is basically a d Andes on psvr2 which is basically a d Andes on psvr2 which is basically a d Andes type game and it was just super fun it type game and it was just super fun it type game and it was just super fun it made me want to get a VR headset so I

made me want to get a VR headset so I made me want to get a VR headset so I can play that game and when I talked to can play that game and when I talked to can play that game and when I talked to somebody they was like that's what somebody they was like that's what somebody they was like that's what balers gate is it's just not a VR and balers gate is it's just not a VR and balers gate is it's just not a VR and they have a lot more options and I was they have a lot more options and I was they have a lot more options and I was like interesting I might like this game like interesting I might like this game like interesting I might like this game so I am planning on playing this playing so I am planning on playing this playing so I am planning on playing this playing it co-op with AO I think I'm going buy it co-op with AO I think I'm going buy it co-op with AO I think I'm going buy it whenever it goes on sale next and it whenever it goes on sale next and it whenever it goes on sale next and I'll just buy it and I'm going to play I'll just buy it and I'm going to play I'll just buy it and I'm going to play it and not make a video on just like it and not make a video on just like it and not make a video on just like play it as you something I'll just play it as you something I'll just play it as you something I'll just stream or whatever but um I think that a stream or whatever but um I think that a stream or whatever but um I think that a lot of people like it and they have lot of people like it and they have lot of people like it and they have their reasons for liking it and it is their reasons for liking it and it is their reasons for liking it and it is extremely Niche though because I just extremely Niche though because I just extremely Niche though because I just don't I can't that doesn't mean it can't don't I can't that doesn't mean it can't don't I can't that doesn't mean it can't be game of the year but it is just be game of the year but it is just be game of the year but it is just extremely Niche a turn-based game which extremely Niche a turn-based game which extremely Niche a turn-based game which is totally fine I love turn-based games is totally fine I love turn-based games is totally fine I love turn-based games all these options a d Andes like it's all these options a d Andes like it's all these options a d Andes like it's just so specific and like zeroed in that just so specific and like zeroed in that just so specific and like zeroed in that it's kind of like turns a lot of people it's kind of like turns a lot of people it's kind of like turns a lot of people off but at the same time it sold well it off but at the same time it sold well it off but at the same time it sold well it scored well it deserves to be there I scored well it deserves to be there I scored well it deserves to be there I will try it interesting I I have I do will try it interesting I I have I do will try it interesting I I have I do want to give it a shot sometime next want to give it a shot sometime next want to give it a shot sometime next year when I've cleared up the backlog year when I've cleared up the backlog year when I've cleared up the backlog when I have some time to sink into it when I have some time to sink into it when I have some time to sink into it because it's going to be a very long because it's going to be a very long because it's going to be a very long game some of my friends have been like game some of my friends have been like game some of my friends have been like hey we should do a like a hey we should do a like a hey we should do a like a campaign um in balers gate multiplayer campaign um in balers gate multiplayer campaign um in balers gate multiplayer campaign I haven't fully committed to it campaign I haven't fully committed to it campaign I haven't fully committed to it yet but it is this is a very interesting yet but it is this is a very interesting yet but it is this is a very interesting turn of events with Game of the Year turn of events with Game of the Year turn of events with Game of the Year 2020 3 because I remember at the 2020 3 because I remember at the 2020 3 because I remember at the beginning of the Year everyone was beginning of the Year everyone was beginning of the Year everyone was saying Zelda is going to win Zelda's saying Zelda is going to win Zelda's saying Zelda is going to win Zelda's going to win and like I was like no I going to win and like I was like no I going to win and like I was like no I don't like Zelda is like the only time don't like Zelda is like the only time don't like Zelda is like the only time Zelda was like a lock to win game of the Zelda was like a lock to win game of the Zelda was like a lock to win game of the year was 2017 and that's it that's the

year was 2017 and that's it that's the year was 2017 and that's it that's the only time Zelda's been a lock but then I only time Zelda's been a lock but then I only time Zelda's been a lock but then I I thought personally this is this is I thought personally this is this is I thought personally this is this is going to sound crazy I thought the two going to sound crazy I thought the two going to sound crazy I thought the two upsets for Zelda would have been Final upsets for Zelda would have been Final upsets for Zelda would have been Final Fantasy 16 or Starfield which are not Fantasy 16 or Starfield which are not Fantasy 16 or Starfield which are not even in the Game of the Year nomination even in the Game of the Year nomination even in the Game of the Year nomination and then just came out ofwhere and I'm and then just came out ofwhere and I'm and then just came out ofwhere and I'm like wow I didn't expect it to be this like wow I didn't expect it to be this like wow I didn't expect it to be this game and yeah we speaking of Starfield game and yeah we speaking of Starfield game and yeah we speaking of Starfield like what are you guys's thoughts on like what are you guys's thoughts on like what are you guys's thoughts on like Shane you played the game right so like Shane you played the game right so like Shane you played the game right so yeah like only one nomination yeah like only one nomination yeah like only one nomination so I mean look so I don't I I think for so I mean look so I don't I I think for so I mean look so I don't I I think for Starfield I didn't hate it and I felt Starfield I didn't hate it and I felt Starfield I didn't hate it and I felt like you know there was a lot of hate like you know there was a lot of hate like you know there was a lot of hate towards the game even before like came towards the game even before like came towards the game even before like came out for some reason like I don't know out for some reason like I don't know out for some reason like I don't know why but yeah like after playing it why but yeah like after playing it why but yeah like after playing it yeah like I I I don't know if you guys yeah like I I I don't know if you guys yeah like I I I don't know if you guys were hyped for it or looked at anything were hyped for it or looked at anything were hyped for it or looked at anything about it but you know how on YouTube if about it but you know how on YouTube if about it but you know how on YouTube if you just go and watch like or before a you just go and watch like or before a you just go and watch like or before a game releases you type in The Game's game releases you type in The Game's game releases you type in The Game's name you will see so much like or so name you will see so much like or so name you will see so much like or so many videos of just great content about many videos of just great content about many videos of just great content about it and stuff I just type in Starfield it and stuff I just type in Starfield it and stuff I just type in Starfield it's like Starfield sucks this is the it's like Starfield sucks this is the it's like Starfield sucks this is the worst game ever I hate butda like just worst game ever I hate butda like just worst game ever I hate butda like just constantly yeah it was either like a lot constantly yeah it was either like a lot constantly yeah it was either like a lot of hype for it or like a lot of of hype for it or like a lot of of hype for it or like a lot of negativity for it and I mean it is like negativity for it and I mean it is like negativity for it and I mean it is like I feel sort of sad for Xbox fans because I feel sort of sad for Xbox fans because I feel sort of sad for Xbox fans because like that was their game but I also like like that was their game but I also like like that was their game but I also like kind of happy for Xbox because HiFi Rush kind of happy for Xbox because HiFi Rush kind of happy for Xbox because HiFi Rush got a lot of nominations yeah like I I got a lot of nominations yeah like I I got a lot of nominations yeah like I I don't okay so I agree with high-fi Rush don't okay so I agree with high-fi Rush don't okay so I agree with high-fi Rush whenever they talk about like you know whenever they talk about like you know whenever they talk about like you know that should have been there but that should have been there but that should have been there but Starfield I don't know cuz the thing Starfield I don't know cuz the thing Starfield I don't know cuz the thing okay the weird thing with Starfield is

okay the weird thing with Starfield is okay the weird thing with Starfield is like it feels like a game that was like like it feels like a game that was like like it feels like a game that was like it has its game design Roots all the way it has its game design Roots all the way it has its game design Roots all the way like 10 years ago like a lot of games I like 10 years ago like a lot of games I like 10 years ago like a lot of games I feel like they have like rais their bars feel like they have like rais their bars feel like they have like rais their bars in terms of game Design Story setting in terms of game Design Story setting in terms of game Design Story setting just like everything and then just when just like everything and then just when just like everything and then just when you play Starfield you feel like you're you play Starfield you feel like you're you play Starfield you feel like you're playing a game back on the Xbox 360 but playing a game back on the Xbox 360 but playing a game back on the Xbox 360 but not in like a good way in like in a lot not in like a good way in like in a lot not in like a good way in like in a lot of like you know bad ways with like you of like you know bad ways with like you of like you know bad ways with like you know facial animations just the story know facial animations just the story know facial animations just the story beats not hitting um constant loading beats not hitting um constant loading beats not hitting um constant loading screens so it's um you know I don't want screens so it's um you know I don't want screens so it's um you know I don't want to say it's a bad game cuz it's not it to say it's a bad game cuz it's not it to say it's a bad game cuz it's not it was definitely a fun game but I don't was definitely a fun game but I don't was definitely a fun game but I don't think it was anything like crazy crazy think it was anything like crazy crazy think it was anything like crazy crazy you know oh yeah yeah and you know to me you know oh yeah yeah and you know to me you know oh yeah yeah and you know to me it's similar to like how I felt about it's similar to like how I felt about it's similar to like how I felt about Fallout 4 when that came out but Fallout 4 when that came out but Fallout 4 when that came out but probably maybe a little worse just cuz probably maybe a little worse just cuz probably maybe a little worse just cuz like I think I expected a little bit like I think I expected a little bit like I think I expected a little bit more from them you know and I I think more from them you know and I I think more from them you know and I I think the big problem too is that their engine the big problem too is that their engine the big problem too is that their engine is just not is not good enough for these is just not is not good enough for these is just not is not good enough for these games that they want to go for yeah yeah games that they want to go for yeah yeah games that they want to go for yeah yeah yeah I I don't I don't understand why uh yeah I I don't I don't understand why uh yeah I I don't I don't understand why uh Xbox like players want this to be there Xbox like players want this to be there Xbox like players want this to be there when I'm like you have highi rush like when I'm like you have highi rush like when I'm like you have highi rush like this is literally amazing phen I don't this is literally amazing phen I don't this is literally amazing phen I don't know why you need this super unique yeah know why you need this super unique yeah know why you need this super unique yeah because it wasn't that AAA Blockbuster because it wasn't that AAA Blockbuster because it wasn't that AAA Blockbuster and it's like no no no that's not how and it's like no no no that's not how and it's like no no no that's not how games work just here's a good one take games work just here's a good one take games work just here's a good one take the W yeah well certainly better than the W yeah well certainly better than the W yeah well certainly better than redf fall so oh my god oh red fall I redf fall so oh my god oh red fall I redf fall so oh my god oh red fall I completely forgot about that oh my God completely forgot about that oh my God completely forgot about that oh my God how could well I mean you could but how how could well I mean you could but how how could well I mean you could but how could you cuz it that was the Xbox wants could you cuz it that was the Xbox wants could you cuz it that was the Xbox wants you to forget about it it yeah yeah yeah

you to forget about it it yeah yeah yeah you to forget about it it yeah yeah yeah it didn't help that it was like two it didn't help that it was like two it didn't help that it was like two weeks before Zelda redfall was like the weeks before Zelda redfall was like the weeks before Zelda redfall was like the beginning of May and then Zelda was like beginning of May and then Zelda was like beginning of May and then Zelda was like the middle of May and then everyone's the middle of May and then everyone's the middle of May and then everyone's like redfall that happened yeah yeah like redfall that happened yeah yeah like redfall that happened yeah yeah that game stinks Starfield I I I think that game stinks Starfield I I I think that game stinks Starfield I I I think it um I don't know like At first I was it um I don't know like At first I was it um I don't know like At first I was like hyped for it and then like when it like hyped for it and then like when it like hyped for it and then like when it released I was like I don't even care released I was like I don't even care released I was like I don't even care like it's downloaded on my Xbox and on like it's downloaded on my Xbox and on like it's downloaded on my Xbox and on my PC and I just I still haven't booted my PC and I just I still haven't booted my PC and I just I still haven't booted up and I'm just like up and I'm just like up and I'm just like H honestly I think Fallout 4 probably be H honestly I think Fallout 4 probably be H honestly I think Fallout 4 probably be better just cuz like I actually think better just cuz like I actually think better just cuz like I actually think this game's exploration is like the this game's exploration is like the this game's exploration is like the worst I don't like worst I don't like worst I don't like it cuz Ian it's yeah cuz like Fallout it it cuz Ian it's yeah cuz like Fallout it it cuz Ian it's yeah cuz like Fallout it was like you know it's open world right was like you know it's open world right was like you know it's open world right you can just like walk towards your you can just like walk towards your you can just like walk towards your objective but then do stuff in between objective but then do stuff in between objective but then do stuff in between like any other open world game and this like any other open world game and this like any other open world game and this one is just loading screen okay now I'm one is just loading screen okay now I'm one is just loading screen okay now I'm in space loading screen okay now I'm on in space loading screen okay now I'm on in space loading screen okay now I'm on a planet with no content loading screen a planet with no content loading screen a planet with no content loading screen so it just makes you not want to explore so it just makes you not want to explore so it just makes you not want to explore if that makes sense it it's like the I I if that makes sense it it's like the

like a bunch of tiny areas a lot of it with not really much to do all tied it with not really much to do all tied it with not really much to do all tied together so yeah someone told me if I together so yeah someone told me if I together so yeah someone told me if I play it to just play the main story and play it to just play the main story and play it to just play the main story and then I'll like the game and then if I then I'll like the game and then if I then I'll like the game and then if I went back and played the side stuff I went back and played the side stuff I went back and played the side stuff I probably wouldn't like the game as much probably wouldn't like the game as much probably wouldn't like the game as much but if I just went through and just but if I just went through

content I'm planning on taking like a break or whatever for the taking like a break or whatever for the taking like a break or whatever for the holidays but um I think I think that if

holidays but um I think I think that if holidays but um I think I think that if that is your if that's your point like that is your if that's your point like that is your if that's your point like oh just play the main story then it's oh just play the main story then it's oh just play the main story then it's not a good game yeah a lot of what I not a good game yeah a lot of what I not a good game yeah a lot of what I hear from it is also like oh it gets hear from it is also like oh it gets hear from it is also like oh it gets good 20 hours in like the first 10 hours good 20 hours in like the first 10 hours good 20 hours in like the first 10 hours are not good then it gets better then are not good then it gets better then are not good then it gets better then after 20 hours it's good which is just after 20 hours it's good which is just after 20 hours it's good which is just like that does not sound interesting at like that does not sound interesting at like that does not sound interesting at all I don't know if you agree with it or all I don't know if you agree with it or all I don't know if you agree with it or not because you were of course the one not because you were of course the one not because you were of course the one who played it but yeah oh my God man I I who played it but yeah oh my God man I I who played it but yeah oh my God man I I don't know like I it got good for me don't know like I it got good for me don't know like I it got good for me like earlier on but I think that's just like earlier on but I think that's just like earlier on but I think that's just cuz of nostalgia straight up just from cuz of nostalgia straight up just from cuz of nostalgia straight up just from me playing Fallout 4 and other like me playing Fallout 4 and other like me playing Fallout 4 and other like mesda games but you mentioned the main mesda games but you mentioned the main mesda games but you mentioned the main campaign right being good it's actually campaign right being good it's actually campaign right being good it's actually the faction content that I believe is the faction content that I believe is the faction content that I believe is side content that's actually good the side content that's actually good the side content that's actually good the main campaign itself is actually in my main campaign itself is actually in my main campaign itself is actually in my opinion terrible opinion terrible opinion terrible yeah so it it's weird I think people yeah so it it's weird I think people yeah so it it's weird I think people consider the faction stuff to be the consider the faction stuff to be the consider the faction stuff to be the main story stuff anyways but yeah it's main story stuff anyways but yeah it's main story stuff anyways but yeah it's um It's A Hard One to recommend I mean I um It's A Hard One to recommend I mean I um It's A Hard One to recommend I mean I think if you play on Game Pass it's nice think if you play on Game Pass it's nice think if you play on Game Pass it's nice right it's a game it's a good game pass right it's a game it's a good game pass right it's a game it's a good game pass game cuz it's like 100 hour game what game cuz it's like 100 hour game what game cuz it's like 100 hour game what pay $10 and you play it that's good but pay $10 and you play it that's good but pay $10 and you play it that's good but I mean compared to the ones we have on I mean compared to the ones we have on I mean compared to the ones we have on this list no I would put like high-f this list no I would put like high-f this list no I would put like high-f five Rush there in a second how you five Rush there in a second how you five Rush there in a second how you played high five Rush any of you guys played high five Rush any of you guys played high five Rush any of you guys yeah yeah yeah amazing like it is it broke into my top amazing like it is it broke into my top amazing like it is it broke into my top five favorite games of the year and also five favorite games of the year and also five favorite games of the year and also it's just like a personal favorite of it's just like a personal favorite of it's just like a personal favorite of mine cuz I play guitar and I love rock mine cuz I play guitar and I love rock mine cuz I play guitar and I love rock music and all that so I I really really music and all that so I I really really music and all that so I I really really love that game and it's just a very love that game and it's just a very love that game and it's just a very unique like kind of game and it's funny

unique like kind of game and it's funny unique like kind of game and it's funny because before it was even announced I because before it was even announced I because before it was even announced I was like why doesn't like a game do that was like why doesn't like a game do that was like why doesn't like a game do that with rhythm and combat I thought I think with rhythm and combat I thought I think with rhythm and combat I thought I think that would be a really cool thing to do that would be a really cool thing to do that would be a really cool thing to do in a game and then it was announced and in a game and then it was announced and in a game and then it was announced and it was Shadow Dro and I was like this it was Shadow Dro and I was like this it was Shadow Dro and I was like this game is for me I need to play it and I game is for me I need to play it and I game is for me I need to play it and I was always telling Shane cuz like Shane was always telling Shane cuz like Shane was always telling Shane cuz like Shane and like all of our friends they've been and like all of our friends they've been and like all of our friends they've been playing Xbox since like way back in the playing Xbox since like way back in the playing Xbox since like way back in the day and I've not played like Halo or uh day and I've not played like Halo or uh day and I've not played like Halo or uh Gears of War or anything like that so I Gears of War or anything like that so I Gears of War or anything like that so I always tell them highi Rush is my always tell them highi Rush is my always tell them highi Rush is my favorite Microsoft Xbox game because I'm favorite Microsoft Xbox game because I'm favorite Microsoft Xbox game because I'm not like a Halo or Gears of War or not like a Halo or Gears of War or not like a Halo or Gears of War or anything like that fan but yeah I think anything like that fan but yeah I think anything like that fan but yeah I think um and somebody said this and I was like um and somebody said this and I was like um and somebody said this and I was like if high five rushes made my Nintendo if high five rushes made my Nintendo if high five rushes made my Nintendo would it be in in Game of the Year and I would it be in in Game of the Year and I would it be in in Game of the Year and I was like it would and I'm going to say was like it would and I'm going to say was like it would and I'm going to say that as a Nintendo fan and it's not that as a Nintendo fan and it's not that as a Nintendo fan and it's not because of the Xbox tax that was mention because of the Xbox tax that was mention because of the Xbox tax that was mention it's just because I think that there it's just because I think that there it's just because I think that there would have been so many more eyes on it would have been so many more eyes on it would have been so many more eyes on it people generally are more neutral people generally are more neutral people generally are more neutral towards Nintendo it's usually Xbox and towards Nintendo it's usually Xbox and towards Nintendo it's usually Xbox and Playstation going at it so therefore Playstation going at it so therefore Playstation going at it so therefore there were people probably arguing there were people probably arguing there were people probably arguing against this game and picking nitpicking against this game and picking nitpicking against this game and picking nitpicking and stuff but it was a Nintendo game and stuff but it was a Nintendo game and stuff but it was a Nintendo game they be like ah it's a dumb Nintendo they be like ah it's a dumb Nintendo they be like ah it's a dumb Nintendo game and it would have scored an 87 game and it would have scored an 87 game and it would have scored an 87 maybe in a 90 and that would have been maybe in a 90 and that would have been maybe in a 90 and that would have been it and it may have made it into game of it and it may have made it into game of it and it may have made it into game of the year or some more Awards so I I I the year or some more Awards so I I I the year or some more Awards so I I I think that if it was made by Nintendo it think that if it was made by Nintendo it think that if it was made by Nintendo it would have been first of all it would would have been first of all it would would have been first of all it would have been like an amazing game to have have been like an amazing game to have have been like an amazing game to have on the switch on the Go amazing oh yeah on the switch on the Go amazing oh yeah on the switch on the Go amazing oh yeah but yeah I think I think uh speaking of but yeah I think I think uh speaking of but yeah I think I think uh speaking of that that's a very that that's a very that that's a very interesting topic do you like bringing

interesting topic do you like bringing interesting topic do you like bringing that idea into like Zelda do you think that idea into like Zelda do you think that idea into like Zelda do you think Zelda's praise and Zelda's hype and Zelda's praise and Zelda's hype and Zelda's praise and Zelda's hype and Zelda's Game of the Year push and Zelda's Game of the Year push and Zelda's Game of the Year push and nomination is partly because it's a nomination is partly because it's a nomination is partly because it's a Zelda game and a Nintendo game because I Zelda game and a Nintendo game because I Zelda game and a Nintendo game because I asked someone this once I was like oh um asked someone this once I was like oh um asked someone this once I was like oh um do you think this this person is also do you think this this person is also do you think this this person is also like really big into like PlayStation like really big into like PlayStation like really big into like PlayStation Horizon all that and they're like oh Horizon all that and they're like oh Horizon all that and they're like oh breath of the wild is good I enjoyed breath of the wild is good I enjoyed breath of the wild is good I enjoyed breath of the wild but I think the breath of the wild but I think the breath of the wild but I think the reason breath of the wild and teers of reason breath of the wild and teers of reason breath of the wild and teers of the kingdom are selling so much and the kingdom are selling so much and the kingdom are selling so much and reviewing so high is because they're reviewing so high is because they're reviewing so high is because they're Zelda and I was like no Ultra hand so Zelda and I was like no Ultra hand so Zelda and I was like no Ultra hand so like what are what are your what are like what are what are your what are like what are what are your what are your guys' thoughts on that like bring your guys' thoughts on that like bring your guys' thoughts on that like bring it back to Zelda cuz all of us was a it back to Zelda cuz all of us was a it back to Zelda cuz all of us was a played Zelda here so I mean I think I played Zelda here so I mean I think I played Zelda here so I mean I think I think there's two parts of that I think think there's two parts of that I think think there's two parts of that I think because it's such a story franchise I because it's such a story franchise I because it's such a story franchise I think the people who said was 120 think the people who said was 120 think the people who said was 120 reviews I think they sat in that room reviews I think they sat in that room reviews I think they sat in that room and some and somebody said you can't not and some and somebody said you can't not and some and somebody said you can't not have zeld on the list and every's like have zeld on the list and every's like have zeld on the list and every's like yeah you know they put on the list like yeah you know they put on the list like yeah you know they put on the list like I think I think that happened but I also I think I think that happened but I also I think I think that happened but I also think the game deserves to be there think the game deserves to be there think the game deserves to be there because I mean tears of the Kingdom to because I mean tears of the Kingdom to because I mean tears of the Kingdom to be a sequel and I know people had issues be a sequel and I know people had issues be a sequel and I know people had issues with the story whatever yeah I thought with the story whatever yeah I thought with the story whatever yeah I thought the story is phenomenal I loved it um the story is phenomenal I loved it um the story is phenomenal I loved it um I'm just very nitpicky as a like a I'm just very nitpicky as a like a I'm just very nitpicky as a like a hardcore Zelda hardcore Zelda hardcore Zelda fan as a Zeno blade fan of course fan as a Zeno blade fan of course fan as a Zeno blade fan of course yeah the story was great I enjoyed it yeah the story was great I enjoyed it yeah the story was great I enjoyed it and normally I I genely don't pay and normally I I genely don't pay and normally I I genely don't pay attention to the story I kind of like attention to the story I kind of like attention to the story I kind of like just skip I don't skip through I like just skip I don't skip through I like just skip I don't skip through I like have the gist but I think that its name

have the gist but I think that its name have the gist but I think that its name in it being a Nintendo game it has in it being a Nintendo game it has in it being a Nintendo game it has something to do with it but it still something to do with it but it still something to do with it but it still deserves it I mean clearly I like deserves it I mean clearly I like deserves it I mean clearly I like Nintendo hello oh yeah so you know stuff Nintendo hello oh yeah so you know stuff Nintendo hello oh yeah so you know stuff there but um I I think it's both but if there but um I I think it's both but if there but um I I think it's both but if XBox would have made breath of the wild XBox would have made breath of the wild XBox would have made breath of the wild tears of the Kingdom if PlayStation tears of the Kingdom if PlayStation tears of the Kingdom if PlayStation would have made it I don't know would have made it I don't know would have made it I don't know interesting as a new IP not as a as like interesting as a new IP not as a as like interesting as a new IP not as a as like Zelda just has a new IP I don't know if Zelda just has a new IP I don't know if Zelda just has a new IP I don't know if he even I don't know if it scores but it he even I don't know if it scores but it he even I don't know if it scores but it being hey because because when you look being hey because because when you look being hey because because when you look at and review Zelda you also think of at and review Zelda you also think of at and review Zelda you also think of Minish Cap you think of all these Zelda Minish Cap you think of all these Zelda Minish Cap you think of all these Zelda way back and how it compares to those way back and how it compares to those way back and how it compares to those and there there's just more there more and there there's just more there more and there there's just more there more history there and so you kind of like history there and so you kind of like history there and so you kind of like lean into that score a little bit more I lean into that score a little bit more I lean into that score a little bit more I think interesting yeah what do you guys think interesting yeah what do you guys think interesting yeah what do you guys think think think because it is kind of like what he said because it is kind of like what he said because it is kind of like what he said with like if it would be a new IP maybe with like if it would be a new IP maybe with like if it would be a new IP maybe it wouldn't be as massive because this it wouldn't be as massive because this it wouldn't be as massive because this is like oh it's the new Zelda game like is like oh it's the new Zelda game like is like oh it's the new Zelda game like everyone knows about everyone's playing everyone knows about everyone's playing everyone knows about everyone's playing it because it is the new Zelda game but it because it is the new Zelda game but it because it is the new Zelda game but that's also like I also think it's that's also like I also think it's that's also like I also think it's really good it's not necessarily my type really good it's not necessarily my type really good it's not necessarily my type of game but I can still see that it's a of game but I can still see that it's a of game but I can still see that it's a phenomenal game and it deserves to be phenomenal game and it deserves to be phenomenal game and it deserves to be here and stuff but I do also think that here and stuff but I do also think that here and stuff but I do also think that a lot of eyes are on it because it is a lot of eyes are on it because it is a lot of eyes are on it because it is just the new Big Zelda game which is the just the new Big Zelda game which is the just the new Big Zelda game which is the iconic franchise that's has been going iconic franchise that's has been going iconic franchise that's has been going for years and years so yeah yeah no I I for years and years so yeah yeah no I I for years and years so yeah yeah no I I agree I think I think there has there's agree I think I think there has there's agree I think I think there has there's something there that you know it is something there that you know it is something there that you know it is Zelda and you know like come on like it Zelda and you know like come on like it Zelda and you know like come on like it has to be there you know it's like such has to be there you know it's like such has to be there you know it's like such a big name but also I you know I can't a big name but also I you know I can't a big name but also I you know I can't really argue with that because the game really argue with that because the game really argue with that because the game was phenomenal too you know it would be was phenomenal too you know it would be was phenomenal too you know it would be a different story if it wasn't good but a different story if it wasn't good but a different story if it wasn't good but it was amazing in like so many different

it was amazing in like so many different it was amazing in like so many different ways and especially in like just design ways and especially in like just design ways and especially in like just design so yeah I think um tears is a kingdom so yeah I think um tears is a kingdom so yeah I think um tears is a kingdom for me of course I was seeing it as a for me of course I was seeing it as a for me of course I was seeing it as a longtime Zelda fan but I was also seeing longtime Zelda fan but I was also seeing longtime Zelda fan but I was also seeing it as like someone who was not it as like someone who was not it as like someone who was not interested in breath of the wild interested in breath of the wild interested in breath of the wild initially like when breath of the wild initially like when breath of the wild initially like when breath of the wild was like in its marketing stages as was like in its marketing stages as was like in its marketing stages as Zelda Wii U and all that I was like dude Zelda Wii U and all that I was like dude Zelda Wii U and all that I was like dude this isn't Zelda this is like so dumb this isn't Zelda this is like so dumb this isn't Zelda this is like so dumb why are they making it open world and why are they making it open world and why are they making it open world and then I played the game and I enjoyed it then I played the game and I enjoyed it then I played the game and I enjoyed it so going into tears of the Kingdom my so going into tears of the Kingdom my so going into tears of the Kingdom my most like anticipated thing was like most like anticipated thing was like most like anticipated thing was like what are they doing with the world and what are they doing with the world and what are they doing with the world and the changes and the sky and the the changes and the sky and the the changes and the sky and the underground and the arm abilities and underground and the arm abilities and underground and the arm abilities and that was what blew me away with the game that was what blew me away with the game that was what blew me away with the game all the interactions and the arm all the interactions and the arm all the interactions and the arm abilities it just was breath of the wild abilities it just was breath of the wild abilities it just was breath of the wild but like so much more and to me that's but like so much more and to me that's but like so much more and to me that's what made the game like Leaps and Bounds what made the game like Leaps and Bounds what made the game like Leaps and Bounds above so many other open world games but above so many other open world games but above so many other open world games but I also feel like if there's like another I also feel like if there's like another I also feel like if there's like another like long running franchise like I think like long running franchise like I think like long running franchise like I think um there was like a Fallout 76 or um there was like a Fallout 76 or um there was like a Fallout 76 or something that was like the Fallout game something that was like the Fallout game something that was like the Fallout game that everyone hated or something right that everyone hated or something right that everyone hated or something right yeah cuz like all the other Fallout yeah cuz like all the other Fallout yeah cuz like all the other Fallout games were like really good and then games were like really good and then games were like really good and then that came out and that was like heavily that came out and that was like heavily that came out and that was like heavily criticized so I think if CH the kingdom criticized so I think if CH the kingdom criticized so I think if CH the kingdom actually did suck if the arm abilities actually did suck if the arm abilities actually did suck if the arm abilities weren't good if it was actually like not weren't good if it was actually like not weren't good if it was actually like not well implemented I think that would also well implemented I think that would also well implemented I think that would also have taken uh effect on the reception have taken uh effect on the reception have taken uh effect on the reception the reviews The Game of the Year the reviews The Game of the Year the reviews The Game of the Year discussion and all that but yeah discussion and all that but yeah discussion and all that but yeah otherwise think about Mario wonder what

otherwise think about Mario wonder what otherwise think about Mario wonder what about that one you know I feel like that about that one you know I feel like that about that one you know I feel like that one just has so much history and stuff one just has so much history and stuff one just has so much history and stuff behind it too and probably why it's on behind it too and probably why it's on behind it too and probably why it's on that list as well I think Mario wonder that list as well I think Mario wonder that list as well I think Mario wonder is a good example because the the new is a good example because the the new is a good example because the the new Super Mario Bros games were heavily Super Mario Bros games were heavily Super Mario Bros games were heavily criticized for being like just yeah the criticized for being like just yeah the criticized for being like just yeah the same thing and Mario Wonder was like same thing and Mario Wonder was like same thing and Mario Wonder was like really really good I still need to play really really good I still need to play really really good I still need to play Mario Wonder Mario Wonder Mario Wonder yeah yeah bring it over to my house yeah yeah bring it over to my house yeah yeah bring it over to my house Shane will play co-op with wonder I I Shane will play co-op with wonder I I Shane will play co-op with wonder I I liked it but I wouldn't have been mad if liked it but I wouldn't have been mad if liked it but I wouldn't have been mad if it wasn't in the category if if if high it wasn't in the category if if if high it wasn't in the category if if if high five Rush was there or something like five Rush was there or something like five Rush was there or something like that I would have been okay with that I that I would have been okay with that I that I would have been okay with that I didn't I didn't expect I knew Wonder was didn't I didn't expect I knew Wonder was didn't I didn't expect I knew Wonder was going to score high um I didn't expect going to score high um I didn't expect going to score high um I didn't expect to be like 92 game the I thought Super to be like 92 game the I thought Super to be like 92 game the I thought Super Mario RPG was going to be higher than it Mario RPG was going to be higher than it Mario RPG was going to be higher than it was I thought that game is so awesome was I thought that game is so awesome was I thought that game is so awesome man yeah I haven't played it I haven't man yeah I haven't played it I haven't man yeah I haven't played it I haven't started I'm going to review it this week started I'm going to review it this week started I'm going to review it this week I got to start it like after I finished I got to start it like after I finished I got to start it like after I finished my PlayStation Porter video um but I my PlayStation Porter video um but I my PlayStation Porter video um but I thought that was going to be really high thought that was going to be really high thought that was going to be really high and wonder was going to be high but not and wonder was going to be high but not and wonder was going to be high but not like game of the year high I know Super like game of the year high I know Super like game of the year high I know Super Mario RPG would have made the cut off Mario RPG would have made the cut off Mario RPG would have made the cut off but that's what I just thought and so it but that's what I just thought and so it but that's what I just thought and so it being there I was like two Nintendo being there I was like two Nintendo being there I was like two Nintendo titles in in Game of the Year I mean titles in in Game of the Year I mean titles in in Game of the Year I mean let's go yeah but yeah um I actually uh let's go yeah but yeah um I actually uh let's go yeah but yeah um I actually uh I was going to say super RPG that would I was going to say super RPG that would I was going to say super RPG that would be actually good one to put in that like be actually good one to put in that like be actually good one to put in that like list that should have been there cuz list that should have been there cuz list that should have been there cuz that one is I mean it's a obviously it's that one is I mean it's a obviously it's that one is I mean it's a obviously it's a remastered or and not really remake a remastered or and not really remake a remastered or and not really remake but remastered but that one was it's so but remastered but that one was it's so but remastered but that one was it's so good man that game is absolutely

good man that game is absolutely good man that game is absolutely phenomenal I I think they need to add a phenomenal I I think they need to add a phenomenal I I think they need to add a remaster and remake category because remaster and remake category because remaster and remake category because then like Dead Space would have gotten then like Dead Space would have gotten then like Dead Space would have gotten more love Resident Evil would have more love Resident Evil would have more love Resident Evil would have gotten more love Mario RPG if it had not gotten more love Mario RPG if it had not gotten more love Mario RPG if it had not missed the cut off it would have gotten missed the cut off it would have gotten missed the cut off it would have gotten in and there was a lot of other ocean oh in and there was a lot of other ocean oh in and there was a lot of other ocean oh Star Ocean yeah Star Ocean like what we Star Ocean yeah Star Ocean like what we Star Ocean yeah Star Ocean like what we done yeah what other there was I feel done yeah what other there was I feel done yeah what other there was I feel like there was other remaster remakes like there was other remaster remakes like there was other remaster remakes that came out this year but I can't that came out this year but I can't that came out this year but I can't remember right now but it was the remember right now but it was the remember right now but it was the Metroid one yeah Metroid Metroid one yeah Metroid Metroid one yeah Metroid Prime Metal Gear Sol Prime Metal Gear Sol Prime Metal Gear Sol collection a rem just poor collection a rem just poor collection a rem just poor Metro Prime has a 94 on Metacritic one Metro Prime has a 94 on Metacritic one Metro Prime has a 94 on Metacritic one of the highest rated games of the year of the highest rated games of the year of the highest rated games of the year 100 100 reviews 94 that's Co oh wow yeah 100 100 reviews 94 that's Co oh wow yeah 100 100 reviews 94 that's Co oh wow yeah and I I also think a DLC category would and I I also think a DLC category would and I I also think a DLC category would have been nice because expansion one for have been nice because expansion one for have been nice because expansion one for the like bigger ones cyber Punk got the like bigger ones cyber Punk got the like bigger ones cyber Punk got nominated so many times oh my God yeah nominated so many times oh my God yeah nominated so many times oh my God yeah cyber Punk like Ed like what was it cyber Punk like Ed like what was it cyber Punk like Ed like what was it called a phantom Liberty right it got so called a phantom Liberty right it got so called a phantom Liberty right it got so many com minations and I'm like but many com minations and I'm like but many com minations and I'm like but that's just a DLC but like I don't know that's just a DLC but like I don't know that's just a DLC but like I don't know Phantom Liberty future redeemed um Phantom Liberty future redeemed um Phantom Liberty future redeemed um what's that um separate ways for what's that um separate ways for what's that um separate ways for Resident Evil Resident Evil Resident Evil 4 Tales of arise here's my 4 Tales of arise here's my 4 Tales of arise here's my question is Xenoblade future redeem is question is Xenoblade future redeem is question is Xenoblade future redeem is that not DLC it is an so it is wave four that not DLC it is an so it is wave four that not DLC it is an so it is wave four of the expansion pass and so you know

of the expansion pass and so you know of the expansion pass and so you know how Toro the Golden Country was sold how Toro the Golden Country was sold how Toro the Golden Country was sold separately as a physical future redeemed separately as a physical future redeemed separately as a physical future redeemed wasn't so TOA the Golden Country you wasn't so TOA the Golden Country you wasn't so TOA the Golden Country you could play it like without buying Xeno 2 could play it like without buying Xeno 2 could play it like without buying Xeno 2 you couldn't do that for future redeem you couldn't do that for future redeem you couldn't do that for future redeem yeah yeah but yeah it that made it more yeah yeah but yeah it that made it more yeah yeah but yeah it that made it more of a traditional DLC but I still feel of a traditional DLC but I still feel of a traditional DLC but I still feel like like at playing the game it felt like like at playing the game it felt like like at playing the game it felt like its own separate release but just like its own separate release but just like its own separate release but just like kind of play foul from Xeno Blade 3 like kind of play foul from Xeno Blade 3 like kind of play foul from Xeno Blade 3 to play it huh you should what did you to play it huh you should what did you to play it huh you should what did you need a save foul from Xenoblade 3 to need a save foul from Xenoblade 3 to need a save foul from Xenoblade 3 to play it no I don't think so so if you play it no I don't think so so if you play it no I don't think so so if you bought like Xenoblade 3 plus the bought like Xenoblade 3 plus the bought like Xenoblade 3 plus the expansion pass you could theoretically expansion pass you could theoretically expansion pass you could theoretically start with feature redeemed I think yeah start with feature redeemed I think yeah start with feature redeemed I think yeah you could yeah yeah cuz tells R you you could yeah yeah cuz tells R you you could yeah yeah cuz tells R you couldn't tells well I think you I no you couldn't tells well I think you I no you couldn't tells well I think you I no you could like like you can but they could like like you can but they could like like you can but they recommend it to you yeah he likees you recommend it to you yeah he likees you recommend it to you yeah he likees you level 65 and throws you into it and like level 65 and throws you into it and like level 65 and throws you into it and like tells you the basics over again yeah but tells you the basics over again yeah but tells you the basics over again yeah but it also is the rest of the story it's it also is the rest of the story it's it also is the rest of the story it's the direct sequel yeah yeah it's like an the direct sequel yeah yeah it's like an the direct sequel yeah yeah it's like an epilog so yeah yeah yeah futureed is epilog so yeah yeah yeah futureed is epilog so yeah yeah yeah futureed is prolog prolog prolog but it has a lot of like story stuff but it has a lot of like story stuff but it has a lot of like story stuff that is like kind of gives context in that is like kind of gives context in that is like kind of gives context in three so if you play Future redeemed three so if you play Future redeemed three so if you play Future redeemed first it's kind of like you won't really first it's kind of like you won't really first it's kind of like you won't really understand what's happening but not like understand what's happening but not like understand what's happening but not like TOA cuz TOA you could technically played TOA cuz TOA you could technically played TOA cuz TOA you could technically played before two but I also don't suggest before two but I also don't suggest before two but I also don't suggest doing that but yeah I I just wish future doing that but yeah I I just wish future doing that but yeah I I just wish future redeem got a physical version that would redeem got a physical version that would redeem got a physical version that would have been so awesome but I just realiz have been so awesome but I just realiz have been so awesome but I just realiz you said blade

you said blade you said blade too yeah Auto attacking huh yeah is is too yeah Auto attacking huh yeah is is too yeah Auto attacking huh yeah is is auto attack in the Xeno Blade 3 I auto attack in the Xeno Blade 3 I auto attack in the Xeno Blade 3 I promise you it is in all of them yeah I promise you it is in all of them yeah I promise you it is in all of them yeah I want it I don't want it hey but you're want it I don't want it hey but you're want it I don't want it hey but you're using your Arts more often I'll tell you using your Arts more often I'll tell you using your Arts more often I'll tell you that you you probably didn't use narip that you you probably didn't use narip that you you probably didn't use narip jelly in Xenoblade 2 you probably didn't jelly in Xenoblade 2 you probably didn't jelly in Xenoblade 2 you probably didn't stutter step in Xenoblade stutter step in Xenoblade stutter step in Xenoblade 2 yeah I hated the combat and I was like 2 yeah I hated the combat and I was like 2 yeah I hated the combat and I was like I heard this game is good I'm going to I heard this game is good I'm going to I heard this game is good I'm going to keep going and then I got to the you keep going and then I got to the you keep going and then I got to the you don't have the map thing like you it don't have the map thing like you it don't have the map thing like you it doesn't where to go the navigation does doesn't where to go the navigation does doesn't where to go the navigation does suck our arree is experiencing right now suck our arree is experiencing right now suck our arree is experiencing right now how do you like the navigation I haven't how do you like the navigation I haven't how do you like the navigation I haven't had any problems with it I kind of the had any problems with it I kind of the had any problems with it I kind of the the compass is a bit weird like I just the compass is a bit weird like I just the compass is a bit weird like I just got to in the beginning of chapter two got to in the beginning of chapter two got to in the beginning of chapter two you're like in The Big Field you have to you're like in The Big Field you have to you're like in The Big Field you have to go to that first city yeah and it was a go to that first city yeah and it was a go to that first city yeah and it was a bit weird like I just knew that I had to bit weird like I just knew that I had to bit weird like I just knew that I had to go to the city because in the cut scene go to the city because in the cut scene go to the city because in the cut scene they tell you to go there but if I they tell you to go there but if I they tell you to go there but if I literally only had the compass I might literally only had the compass I might literally only had the compass I might have been a bit confused but I've only have been a bit confused but I've only have been a bit confused but I've only way too early in the game to really give way too early in the game to really give way too early in the game to really give my opinion on that just wa chapter three my opinion on that just wa chapter three my opinion on that just wa chapter three chapter 3 has a part where the compass chapter 3 has a part where the compass chapter 3 has a part where the compass like actively goes against you and like actively goes against you and like actively goes against you and you're you're you're [Music] [Music] [Music] like yeah no but I noticed that I was like yeah no but I noticed that I was like yeah no but I noticed that I was like I noticed that I was like looking like I noticed that I was like looking like I noticed that I was like looking at the city and the compass was like at the city and the compass was like at the city and the compass was like yeah it's right in front of you but then yeah it's right in front of you but then yeah it's right in front of you but then I would turn to the right and the I would turn to the right and the I would turn to the right and the compass would still be like yeah it's in compass would still be like yeah it's in compass would still be like yeah it's in front of you it's but it wasn't it's front of you it's but it wasn't it's front of you it's but it wasn't it's weird maybe later on it'll give me some weird maybe later on it'll give me some weird maybe later on it'll give me some problems now you know a lot of things in

problems now you know a lot of things in problems now you know a lot of things in Xeno Blade 2 I forgive and you know why Xeno Blade 2 I forgive and you know why Xeno Blade 2 I forgive and you know why is because that game like that massive is because that game like that massive is because that game like that massive game Xeno Blade 2 was made by like a game Xeno Blade 2 was made by like a game Xeno Blade 2 was made by like a team of 50 people it was like most of team of 50 people it was like most of team of 50 people it was like most of modelis soft was already working on a modelis soft was already working on a modelis soft was already working on a Definitive Edition in three at that Definitive Edition in three at that Definitive Edition in three at that point and then they're like oh yeah the point and then they're like oh yeah the point and then they're like oh yeah the small group of people and then some small group of people and then some small group of people and then some outsourced people will just yeah just outsourced people will just yeah just outsourced people will just yeah just throw together blade to please yeah throw together blade to please yeah throw together blade to please yeah what's the part of the game where what's the part of the game where what's the part of the game where grandpa turns into a hey that's like the grandpa turns into a hey that's like the grandpa turns into a hey that's like the that's the very beginning yeah that's that's the very beginning yeah that's that's the very beginning yeah that's like you sto no no I'm trying to think like you sto no no I'm trying to think like you sto no no I'm trying to think cuz then I met somebody I met a girl cuz then I met somebody I met a girl cuz then I met somebody I met a girl yeah and like a tiger I think yes yes yeah and like a tiger I think yes yes yeah and like a tiger I think yes yes neon that's the last I remember but I neon that's the last I remember but I neon that's the last I remember but I I'm pretty sure because it's like a I'm pretty sure because it's like a I'm pretty sure because it's like a forest area I'm pretty sure that's forest area I'm pretty sure that's forest area I'm pretty sure that's basically where arri is yeah like a basically where arri is yeah like a basically where arri is yeah like a little bit than that little bit than that little bit than that yeah that's fine cut it was chiso Blade yeah that's fine cut it was chiso Blade yeah that's fine cut it was chiso Blade 2 2 2 it I was like yeah it I was like yeah it I was like yeah yeah but that's how far I remember yeah but that's how far I remember yeah but that's how far I remember making but this was like making but this was like making but this was like 2019 think 2020 2019 think 2020 2019 think 2020 yeah so it's a it's a weird combat yeah so it's a it's a weird combat yeah so it's a it's a weird combat system it is that that that's a whole system it is that that that's a whole system it is that that that's a whole another discussion for another time another discussion for another time another discussion for another time because like Zen Blade 2 is a it is because like Zen Blade 2 is a it is because like Zen Blade 2 is a it is indeed a video game but the are yeah that that's what got it to 3

nominated for this category last year oh nominated for this category last year oh my my my God yeah it was weird yeah but um I bet God yeah it was weird yeah but um I bet God yeah it was weird yeah but um I bet that like oh thanks oh we're a fighting that like oh thanks oh we're a fighting that like oh thanks oh we're a fighting game now I guess thanks yeah but um I game now I guess thanks yeah but um I game now I guess thanks yeah but um I sort of felt the same way with action sort of felt the same way with action sort of felt the same way with action game because I personally think that game because I personally think that game because I personally think that lies of p and Final Fantasy 16 would lies of p and Final Fantasy 16 would lies of p and Final Fantasy 16 would have fit better in action and that would have fit better in action and that would have fit better in action and that would have freed up space for octop path 2 in have freed up space for octop path 2 in have freed up space for octop path 2 in best RPG because that was insanely best RPG because that was insanely best RPG because that was insanely massively snubbed and then some other massively snubbed and then some other massively snubbed and then some other game that they could have put in I don't game that they could have put in I don't game that they could have put in I don't know like if they cared enough to put know like if they cared enough to put know like if they cared enough to put Xeno Blade they could have put it in Xeno Blade they could have put it in Xeno Blade they could have put it in there but I don't know but um um I think there but I don't know but um um I think there but I don't know but um um I think yeah I think Liza I was assuming Li of P yeah I think Liza I was assuming Li of P yeah I think Liza I was assuming Li of P would have been an action game instead would have been an action game instead would have been an action game instead of RPG because like what was there it of RPG because like what was there it of RPG because like what was there it was like Remnant 2 and action game has was like Remnant 2 and action game has was like Remnant 2 and action game has the big stand out to me this year it's the big stand out to me this year it's the big stand out to me this year it's like Dead Island 2 yeah because I like Dead Island 2 yeah because I like Dead Island 2 yeah because I remember that game coming out and remember that game coming out and remember that game coming out and everyone was like it's it's okay it was everyone was like it's it's okay it was everyone was like it's it's okay it was it was it was fun like I liked it but it it was it was fun like I liked it but it it was it was fun like I liked it but it wasn't like I know I wasn't there like wasn't like I know I wasn't there like wasn't like I know I wasn't there like oh yeah this is like game of the year oh yeah this is like game of the year oh yeah this is like game of the year like everyone need play no it was more like everyone need play no it was more like everyone need play no it was more like oh yeah like if if you like zombie like oh yeah like if if you like zombie like oh yeah like if if you like zombie games you'll like this yeah yeah I do games you'll like this yeah yeah I do games you'll like this yeah yeah I do feel like feel like feel like final I can't blame you anymore there's final I can't blame you anymore there's final I can't blame you anymore there's too many of them it's too many of them it's too many of them it's oversaturated anybody play Ghost Runner oversaturated anybody play Ghost Runner oversaturated anybody play Ghost Runner to I didn't even know that released this to I didn't even know that released this to I didn't even know that released this I saw the markting for it but I didn't I saw the markting for it but I didn't I saw the markting for it but I didn't see the I saw one trailer that's I see the I saw one trailer that's I see the I saw one trailer that's I played the first game so I just knew played the first game so I just knew played the first game so I just knew that it was a thing but I didn't even

that it was a thing but I didn't even that it was a thing but I didn't even know it came out already if you like the know it came out already if you like the know it came out already if you like the first game the second game is basically first game the second game is basically first game the second game is basically better in every way it just expands on better in every way it just expands on better in every way it just expands on that and just it's just good it's just that and just it's just good it's just that and just it's just good it's just good I played the first game but that good I played the first game but that good I played the first game but that wasn't the biggest fan of it so that's wasn't the biggest fan of it so that's wasn't the biggest fan of it so that's why I wasn't really following too well why I wasn't really following too well why I wasn't really following too well either it it's more it's basically like either it it's more it's basically like either it it's more it's basically like you know just basically let's take the you know just basically let's take the you know just basically let's take the same thing and just make everything same thing and just make everything same thing and just make everything slightly better and had a cool ass slightly better and had a cool ass slightly better and had a cool ass motorcycle motorcycle motorcycle and but um that was good I want to talk and but um that was good I want to talk and but um that was good I want to talk about action adventure real quick about action adventure real quick about action adventure real quick because one game we somehow have not because one game we somehow have not because one game we somehow have not talked about we talked about basically talked about we talked about basically talked about we talked about basically every single game but we haven't talked every single game but we haven't talked every single game but we haven't talked about Spider-Man I know all four of us about Spider-Man I know all four of us about Spider-Man I know all four of us have played Spider-Man and all four of have played Spider-Man and all four of have played Spider-Man and all four of us loved it so like yeah I think um I us loved it so like yeah I think um I us loved it so like yeah I think um I think for action adventure I think tears think for action adventure I think tears think for action adventure I think tears of the kingdom is taking it but of the kingdom is taking it but of the kingdom is taking it but Spider-Man has a really good shot Spider-Man has a really good shot Spider-Man has a really good shot because like personally like Spider-Man because like personally like Spider-Man because like personally like Spider-Man had a lot of recycled stuff from the had a lot of recycled stuff from the had a lot of recycled stuff from the first game same world same kind of first game same world same kind of first game same world same kind of combat stuff like same swinging Styles combat stuff like same swinging Styles combat stuff like same swinging Styles but the story was amazing and the things but the story was amazing and the things but the story was amazing and the things that they like added gameplay-wise and that they like added gameplay-wise and that they like added gameplay-wise and progression wise was actually really progression wise was actually really progression wise was actually really cool and like the P I think this is like cool and like the P I think this is like cool and like the P I think this is like the PS5 Showcase with the Fast Travel the PS5 Showcase with the Fast Travel the PS5 Showcase with the Fast Travel and everything so like what are your and everything so like what are your and everything so like what are your what are your guys' thoughts on what are your guys' thoughts on what are your guys' thoughts on Spider-Man I used Fast Trav for the Spider-Man I used Fast Trav for the Spider-Man I used Fast Trav for the first time first time first time today I was like wow this is fast yeah I today I was like wow this is fast yeah I today I was like wow this is fast yeah I don't think I use a single time but I don't think I use a single time but I don't think I use a single time but I really [ __ ] love that game it's really [ __ ] love that game it's really [ __ ] love that game it's really good it's crazy that they added really good it's crazy that they added really good it's crazy that they added that but like you don't want to fast

coming out in February February 2nd coming out in February February 2nd persona persona 3 this year was Persona persona persona 3 this year was Persona persona persona 3 this year was Persona yeah that was a port of the PSP yeah that was a port of the PSP yeah that was a port of the PSP [Music] [Music] [Music] game remake yeah confused I play I play Persona 5 I yeah confused I play I play Persona 5 I like Persona 5 a like Persona 5 a like Persona 5 a lot someone told me it was 100 hours and lot someone told me it was 100 hours and lot someone told me it was 100 hours and I stopped playing it I was like Persona I stopped playing it I was like Persona I stopped playing it I was like Persona tree should only be like 50 to 60 if tree should only be like 50 to 60 if tree should only be like 50 to 60 if they stick around the same time of the they stick around the same time of the they stick around the same time of the original so that's better but I really original so that's better but I really original so that's better but I really like Persona F combat like Persona F combat like Persona F combat yes thing with the Persona tree remake yes thing with the Persona tree remake yes thing with the Persona tree remake because the original Persona tree had because the original Persona tree had because the original Persona tree had turn based combat but you couldn't turn based combat but you couldn't turn based combat but you couldn't control your party members so you could control your party members so you could control your party members so you could only control yourself and then you could only control yourself and then you could only control yourself and then you could like set the other character to oh you like set the other character to oh you like set the other character to oh you do support uh spells you do offensive do support uh spells you do offensive do support uh spells you do offensive spells but a lot of people of course spells but a lot of people of course spells but a lot of people of course don't like that the game hasn't aged don't like that the game hasn't aged don't like that the game hasn't aged that well so now they're remaking it that well so now they're remaking it that well so now they're remaking it with the combat from five basically but with the combat from five basically but with the combat from five basically but they're also adding a lot of stuff to it they're also adding a lot of stuff to it they're also adding a lot of stuff to it because a lot of people say that five is because a lot of people say that five is because a lot of people say that five is too easy and that you have like the too easy and that you have like the too easy and that you have like the showtime attacks that they're really showtime attacks that they're really showtime attacks that they're really broken and stuff and tree kind of tones broken and stuff and tree kind of tones broken and stuff and tree kind of tones it down I guess to be more balanced and it down I guess to be more balanced and it down I guess to be more balanced and stuff yeah AR played the game at stuff yeah AR played the game at stuff yeah AR played the game at Gamescom true I did play the game yeah Gamescom true I did play the game yeah Gamescom true I did play the game yeah yeah I liked it it was good have a small yeah I liked it it was good have a small yeah I liked it it was good have a small video on it but it's basically just it video on it but it's basically just it video on it but it's basically just it plays like Persona 5 and that's about it plays like Persona 5 and that's about it plays like Persona 5 and that's about it I'm super hyp what you wanted is that I'm super hyp what you wanted is that I'm super hyp what you wanted is that what you wanted basically is like a more

what you wanted basically is like a more what you wanted basically is like a more Persona five because Persona 3 is my Persona five because Persona 3 is my Persona five because Persona 3 is my favorite purely Story characters wise favorite purely Story characters wise favorite purely Story characters wise but five is without a doubt better but five is without a doubt better but five is without a doubt better gameplay wise so to have three like the gameplay wise so to have three like the gameplay wise so to have three like the best story best characters but it looks best story best characters but it looks best story best characters but it looks as good if not better than five and it as good if not better than five and it as good if not better than five and it plays also as good if not better because plays also as good if not better because plays also as good if not better because of course it's been a few years so they of course it's been a few years so they of course it's been a few years so they could iron out some of the like small could iron out some of the like small could iron out some of the like small things make us mover so basically all things make us mover so basically all things make us mover so basically all that I wanted they're doing even more that I wanted they're doing even more that I wanted they're doing even more because they're like expanding on the because they're like expanding on the because they're like expanding on the story and giving characters that didn't story and giving characters that didn't story and giving characters that didn't get enough screen time some extra screen get enough screen time some extra screen get enough screen time some extra screen time more backstory so yeah that free time more backstory so yeah that free time more backstory so yeah that free reload looks really good it should have reload looks really good it should have reload looks really good it should have been on this list yeah it should have been on this list yeah it should have been on this list yeah it should have but I guess Jeff key is more hyped for but I guess Jeff key is more hyped for but I guess Jeff key is more hyped for Star Wars Outlaws yeah I I'm hyped for Star Wars Outlaws yeah I I'm hyped for Star Wars Outlaws yeah I I'm hyped for that game that's I mean on Star Wars one that game that's I mean on Star Wars one that game that's I mean on Star Wars one thing about Persona 3 is the reason I thing about Persona 3 is the reason I thing about Persona 3 is the reason I didn't play and I was telling arri about didn't play and I was telling arri about didn't play and I was telling arri about this is there's this thing in that game this is there's this thing in that game this is there's this thing in that game called Tartarus and it's like you have called Tartarus and it's like you have called Tartarus and it's like you have to like climb the floors of Tartarus to like climb the floors of Tartarus to like climb the floors of Tartarus every like few play sessions you have to every like few play sessions you have to every like few play sessions you have to go in there and like continue going up go in there and like continue going up go in there and like continue going up there it's like I don't know how far you there it's like I don't know how far you there it's like I don't know how far you got into Persona 5 San but it's kind of got into Persona 5 San but it's kind of got into Persona 5 San but it's kind of like momentos but it's really long and like momentos but it's really long and like momentos but it's really long and when I saw a let's play of Persona 3 I when I saw a let's play of Persona 3 I when I saw a let's play of Persona 3 I was like I don't want to do this Tarter was like I don't want to do this Tarter was like I don't want to do this Tarter as crap this looks so boring and it as crap this looks so boring and it as crap this looks so boring and it looks actually fun in reload it looks looks actually fun in reload it looks looks actually fun in reload it looks like a lot of fun to just do TS and like a lot of fun to just do TS and like a lot of fun to just do TS and reload so that's what's getting me reload so that's what's getting me reload so that's what's getting me really excited and of course just really excited and of course just really excited and of course just playing Persona 3 for the first time cuz playing Persona 3 for the first time cuz playing Persona 3 for the first time cuz I never played it myself but yeah uh

belongs and I also don't want to devalue belongs and I also don't want to devalue the 2D platformer you know I I am I am the 2D platformer you know I I am I am the 2D platformer you know I I am I am happy to see Mario Bros get the happy to see Mario Bros get the happy to see Mario Bros get the nomination the same way that I was to nomination the same way that I was to nomination the same way that I was to see Metroid dread get the nomination a see Metroid dread get the nomination a see Metroid dread get the nomination a few years back just it's just good to few years back just it's just good to few years back just it's just good to see like a simple 2D game that is more see like a simple 2D game that is more see like a simple 2D game that is more focused on fun than you know big focused on fun than you know big focused on fun than you know big expansive narratives right so I'm just expansive narratives right so I'm just expansive narratives right so I'm just happy to see it here for those reasons happy to see it here for those reasons happy to see it here for those reasons um also I just heard it's a really um also I just heard it's a really um also I just heard it's a really really great game now Allen wake 2 I'm really great game now Allen wake 2 I'm really great game now Allen wake 2 I'm working towards this one I I'm currently working towards this one I I'm currently working towards this one I I'm currently going through control I will play Allen going through control I will play Allen going through control I will play Allen wake 1 and then I'm going to jump into wake 1 and then I'm going to jump into wake 1 and then I'm going to jump into Allen wake 2 and based off of what I've Allen wake 2 and based off of what I've Allen wake 2 and based off of what I've played with control this is very much a played with control this is very much a played with control this is very much a Luna Tunes game this is a game that I Luna Tunes game this is a game that I Luna Tunes game this is a game that I think is really going to speak to me um think is really going to speak to me um think is really going to speak to me um whenever I do get around to it to the whenever I do get around to it to the whenever I do get around to it to the point where I think once I've played it point where I think once I've played it point where I think once I've played it it may very well become my game of the it may very well become my game of the it may very well become my game of the year for 2023 that is yet to be seen but year for 2023 that is yet to be seen but year for 2023 that is yet to be seen but from what I've seen and heard oh my gosh from what I've seen and heard oh my gosh from what I've seen and heard oh my gosh this game looks like it's right up my this game looks like it's right up my this game looks like it's right up my alley so very excited to get to it uh alley so very excited to get to it uh alley so very excited to get to it uh regretful that I've not been able to so regretful that I've not been able to so regretful that I've not been able to so far of the other candidates here um I'll far of the other candidates here um I'll far of the other candidates here um I'll start with balers Gate 3 I have put in start with balers Gate 3 I have put in start with balers Gate 3 I have put in maybe 12 hours to balers Gate 3 along maybe 12 hours to balers Gate 3 along maybe 12 hours to balers Gate 3 along with my wife for playing Split Screen with my wife for playing Split Screen with my wife for playing Split Screen Co-op every step of the way and 12 hours Co-op every step of the way and 12 hours Co-op every step of the way and 12 hours that's just scratching the surface for a that's just scratching the surface for a that's just scratching the surface for a game like balers Gate 3 that is hundreds game like balers Gate 3 that is hundreds game like balers Gate 3 that is hundreds of hours of content you know but um I of hours of content you know but um I of hours of content you know but um I played enough to to form some opinions played enough to to form some opinions played enough to to form some opinions and to see its quality right I think the

and to see its quality right I think the and to see its quality right I think the the biggest thing that people praise it the biggest thing that people praise it the biggest thing that people praise it for is its flexibility it's um ability for is its flexibility it's um ability for is its flexibility it's um ability to instill that feeling that if you can to instill that feeling that if you can to instill that feeling that if you can think it you can do it visually I think think it you can do it visually I think think it you can do it visually I think the game looks really good uh narrative the game looks really good uh narrative the game looks really good uh narrative wise I I'm not deep enough to really wise I I'm not deep enough to really wise I I'm not deep enough to really make a a hard stance on The Narrative make a a hard stance on The Narrative make a a hard stance on The Narrative how good it is um so far it's fine but how good it is um so far it's fine but how good it is um so far it's fine but like I said I'm I'm we're so early early like I said I'm I'm we're so early early like I said I'm I'm we're so early early in as in the grand scheme of things um in as in the grand scheme of things um in as in the grand scheme of things um combat wise it is less turn-based and combat wise it is less turn-based and combat wise it is less turn-based and more tactical style of combat and you more tactical style of combat and you more tactical style of combat and you know High Ground matters um you can take know High Ground matters um you can take know High Ground matters um you can take buff potions um there are so many spells buff potions um there are so many spells buff potions um there are so many spells that do a variety of different things that do a variety of different things that do a variety of different things not just deal damage but you can affect not just deal damage but you can affect not just deal damage but you can affect the environment in ways that maybe you the environment in ways that maybe you the environment in ways that maybe you didn't think you could um but then you didn't think you could um but then you didn't think you could um but then you experiment you test things out and um it experiment you test things out and um it experiment you test things out and um it all works you know you can use uh a all works you know you can use uh a all works you know you can use uh a telekinesis spell to pick up a a a Jar telekinesis spell to pick up a a a Jar telekinesis spell to pick up a a a Jar full of oil you throw it at the enemy full of oil you throw it at the enemy full of oil you throw it at the enemy and then you use a fire spell it ignites and then you use a fire spell it ignites and then you use a fire spell it ignites him all on fire does crazy damage right him all on fire does crazy damage right him all on fire does crazy damage right um little things like that and and um little things like that and and um little things like that and and there's more crazier aspects to it than there's more crazier aspects to it than there's more crazier aspects to it than even that but um that's just one small even that but um that's just one small even that but um that's just one small example my main gripe with the game is example my main gripe with the game is example my main gripe with the game is how long it takes to do everything um how long it takes to do everything um how long it takes to do everything um D the first the first session I sat down D the first the first session I sat down D the first the first session I sat down with my wife hey let's play this new with my wife hey let's play this new with my wife hey let's play this new game and she's excited I'm game and she's excited I'm game and she's excited I'm excited took us two hours just to make excited took us two hours just to make excited took us two hours just to make our characters and when talking to my our characters and when talking to my our characters and when talking to my friends they're like oh two hours that's

friends they're like oh two hours that's friends they're like oh two hours that's that's pretty quick like okay it really that's pretty quick like okay it really that's pretty quick like okay it really does take everything you do in the game does take everything you do in the game does take everything you do in the game from combat to to conversations to just from combat to to conversations to just from combat to to conversations to just deciding what you want to do next takes deciding what you want to do next takes deciding what you want to do next takes a lot of time and and critical thinking a lot of time and and critical thinking a lot of time and and critical thinking and you could play for a couple hours and you could play for a couple hours and you could play for a couple hours and you at least in my opinion I feel and you at least in my opinion I feel and you at least in my opinion I feel like sometimes I didn't really uh like sometimes I didn't really uh like sometimes I didn't really uh progress very far like okay we've been progress very far like okay we've been progress very far like okay we've been playing this for 3 hours and we've done playing this for 3 hours and we've done playing this for 3 hours and we've done like two battles and we we progressed like two battles and we we progressed like two battles and we we progressed the quest one objective you know um it's the quest one objective you know um it's the quest one objective you know um it's it's it's kind of crazy so that's my it's it's kind of crazy so that's my it's it's kind of crazy so that's my main grip is the pacing is really really main grip is the pacing is really really main grip is the pacing is really really slow but if you're into these hardcore slow but if you're into these hardcore slow but if you're into these hardcore Dungeons and Dragons RPG type things Dungeons and Dragons RPG type things Dungeons and Dragons RPG type things then it's right up your alley and again then it's right up your alley and again then it's right up your alley and again I definitely see the quality um I think I definitely see the quality um I think I definitely see the quality um I think it's a game that certainly belongs here it's a game that certainly belongs here it's a game that certainly belongs here Marvel Spider-Man 2 um what really is Marvel Spider-Man 2 um what really is Marvel Spider-Man 2 um what really is there to say about this game uh if there to say about this game uh if there to say about this game uh if you've played Spider-Man 1 or Miles you've played Spider-Man 1 or Miles you've played Spider-Man 1 or Miles Morales you kind of know what you're Morales you kind of know what you're Morales you kind of know what you're getting into and that's a good thing and getting into and that's a good thing and getting into and that's a good thing and a bad thing it's a good thing because a bad thing it's a good thing because a bad thing it's a good thing because those prior games are so high quality those prior games are so high quality those prior games are so high quality and and they're very fun uh the web and and they're very fun uh the web and and they're very fun uh the web swinging the traversal is amazing the swinging the traversal is amazing the swinging the traversal is amazing the combat is Snappy kind of that Arkham um combat is Snappy kind of that Arkham um combat is Snappy kind of that Arkham um style of combat you're reacting up from style of combat you're reacting up from style of combat you're reacting up from from Peter Spider Sense and everything from Peter Spider Sense and everything from Peter Spider Sense and everything that stuff is still here it's still very that stuff is still here it's still very that stuff is still here it's still very good it's been expanded upon a bit uh good it's been expanded upon a bit uh good it's been expanded upon a bit uh enough right it's gotten enough of an enough right it's gotten enough of an enough right it's gotten enough of an expansion to feel like yeah it it expansion to feel like yeah it it expansion to feel like yeah it it deserves its own separate release the deserves its own separate release the deserves its own separate release the narrative I thought was very very good narrative I thought was very very good narrative I thought was very very good and I think is the main thing that's

and I think is the main thing that's and I think is the main thing that's going to differentiate itself from the going to differentiate itself from the going to differentiate itself from the prior two games now Resident Evil 4 prior two games now Resident Evil 4 prior two games now Resident Evil 4 remake this is the one game on this list remake this is the one game on this list remake this is the one game on this list that I feel that I feel that I feel like has an argument to be swapped out like has an argument to be swapped out like has an argument to be swapped out with something else simply because it is with something else simply because it is with something else simply because it is a remake has nothing to do with the a remake has nothing to do with the a remake has nothing to do with the quality of the game it it's it's a quality of the game it it's it's a quality of the game it it's it's a fantastic game probably my second fantastic game probably my second fantastic game probably my second favorite of the year so far um and it's favorite of the year so far um and it's favorite of the year so far um and it's not an easy remake either you know it's not an easy remake either you know it's not an easy remake either you know it's it's one that has had a significant it's one that has had a significant it's one that has had a significant amount of work done to it I just think amount of work done to it I just think amount of work done to it I just think and i' I've said this you know on on and i' I've said this you know on on and i' I've said this you know on on social media and everything if there was social media and everything if there was social media and everything if there was ever a year to to keep a remake out of ever a year to to keep a remake out of ever a year to to keep a remake out of the game of the year nominations this the game of the year nominations this the game of the year nominations this would be the Year this 2023 is chock would be the Year this 2023 is chock would be the Year this 2023 is chock full of so many new games new IPS new ID full of so many new games new IPS new ID full of so many new games new IPS new ID is as fantastic as Resident Evil 4 is as fantastic as Resident Evil 4 is as fantastic as Resident Evil 4 remake is this is the one game that I remake is this is the one game that I remake is this is the one game that I feel like you could probably swap it out feel like you could probably swap it out feel like you could probably swap it out for a final fantasy 16 uh Star Wars Jedi for a final fantasy 16 uh Star Wars Jedi for a final fantasy 16 uh Star Wars Jedi Survivor even though he was buggy at Survivor even though he was buggy at Survivor even though he was buggy at launch I still freaking love that game launch I still freaking love that game launch I still freaking love that game um heck even even a Starfield you know um heck even even a Starfield you know um heck even even a Starfield you know uh give Starfield some love and that's uh give Starfield some love and that's uh give Starfield some love and that's kind of the only real negative thing I kind of the only real negative thing I kind of the only real negative thing I guess I'd have to say about re4 remake guess I'd have to say about re4 remake guess I'd have to say about re4 remake being here is that it is at the end of being here is that it is at the end of being here is that it is at the end of the day a remake a lot of the set pieces the day a remake a lot of the set pieces the day a remake a lot of the set pieces a lot of the environments the story all a lot of the environments the story all a lot of the environments the story all of those elements were already there at of those elements were already there at of those elements were already there at the beginning of development and the beginning of development and the beginning of development and therefore yeah it's going to make it a therefore yeah it's going to make it a therefore yeah it's going to make it a bit easier than making a fresh new game bit easier than making a fresh new game bit easier than making a fresh new game or a fresh new IP but as far as the or a fresh new IP but as far as the or a fresh new IP but as far as the quality of the game as I said it's

quality of the game as I said it's quality of the game as I said it's remarkable uh I love the original remarkable uh I love the original remarkable uh I love the original Resident Evil 4 I think this becomes Resident Evil 4 I think this becomes Resident Evil 4 I think this becomes kind of the definitive way to play kind of the definitive way to play kind of the definitive way to play Resident Evil 4 I I still think if you Resident Evil 4 I I still think if you Resident Evil 4 I I still think if you haven't played the original go back and haven't played the original go back and haven't played the original go back and play it but I think the Remake did do play it but I think the Remake did do play it but I think the Remake did do its job as far as staying true to it um its job as far as staying true to it um its job as far as staying true to it um staying faithful to the original and staying faithful to the original and staying faithful to the original and improving where they could and adding improving where they could and adding improving where they could and adding some content here and there as well they some content here and there as well they some content here and there as well they they definitely added the horror element they definitely added the horror element they definitely added the horror element into this more so than in than in the into this more so than in than in the into this more so than in than in the original um Darkness you know segments original um Darkness you know segments original um Darkness you know segments where your flashlight is the only thing where your flashlight is the only thing where your flashlight is the only thing Illuminating what's in front of you you Illuminating what's in front of you you Illuminating what's in front of you you have no idea what's lurking in the have no idea what's lurking in the have no idea what's lurking in the darkness um stuff like that the the darkness um stuff like that the the darkness um stuff like that the the creatures are more grotesque than ever creatures are more grotesque than ever creatures are more grotesque than ever they've added some enemies characters they've added some enemies characters they've added some enemies characters have new dialogue there's some have new dialogue there's some have new dialogue there's some directions in the story that slightly directions in the story that slightly directions in the story that slightly deviate from the original but I think deviate from the original but I think deviate from the original but I think for the better in any other year I think for the better in any other year I think for the better in any other year I think it would it should definitely be on this it would it should definitely be on this it would it should definitely be on this nominations list but for 2023 nominations list but for 2023 nominations list but for 2023 specifically I feel like leave the specifically I feel like leave the specifically I feel like leave the Remake out and put in a final fantasy 16 Remake out and put in a final fantasy 16 Remake out and put in a final fantasy 16 um that's just my opinion I I still um that's just my opinion I I still um that's just my opinion I I still think it's a great game that like I said think it's a great game that like I said think it's a great game that like I said any other year it could win the whole any other year it could win the whole any other year it could win the whole thing so and lastly The Legend of Zelda thing so and lastly The Legend of Zelda thing so and lastly The Legend of Zelda tears of the Kingdom tears of the Kingdom tears of the Kingdom you may know I've been on Nish Quick's you may know I've been on Nish Quick's you may know I've been on Nish Quick's channel uh in the past talking about channel uh in the past talking about channel uh in the past talking about this game you may know I'm actually not this game you may know I'm actually not this game you may know I'm actually not a fan of this game and and that comes a fan of this game and and that comes a fan of this game and and that comes from before it was cool to hate on teers from before it was cool to hate on teers from before it was cool to hate on teers of the Kingdom okay I think as the the of the Kingdom okay I think as the the of the Kingdom okay I think as the the further away we've gotten from tiers um

further away we've gotten from tiers um further away we've gotten from tiers um the more negative conversation that's the more negative conversation that's the more negative conversation that's kind of come about the game for whatever kind of come about the game for whatever kind of come about the game for whatever reason but I want to I want to make a reason but I want to I want to make a reason but I want to I want to make a point I was one of the originals okay I point I was one of the originals okay I point I was one of the originals okay I was one of the original haters but no I was one of the original haters but no I was one of the original haters but no I put 50 plus hours into tears of the put 50 plus hours into tears of the put 50 plus hours into tears of the kingdom and it had had its high moments kingdom and it had had its high moments kingdom and it had had its high moments it had its low moments ultimately the it had its low moments ultimately the it had its low moments ultimately the pacing for me is kind of what what drug pacing for me is kind of what what drug pacing for me is kind of what what drug me out of it um but that said I am very me out of it um but that said I am very me out of it um but that said I am very well aware that it is a quality well aware that it is a quality well aware that it is a quality experience the the ideas that they experience the the ideas that they experience the the ideas that they incorporated into this open world game incorporated into this open world game incorporated into this open world game are um Next Level revolutionary uh do I are um Next Level revolutionary uh do I are um Next Level revolutionary uh do I dare to say revolutionary that's a dare to say revolutionary that's a dare to say revolutionary that's a that's a strong word but all of the that's a strong word but all of the that's a strong word but all of the different arm abilities um Ultra hand different arm abilities um Ultra hand different arm abilities um Ultra hand fuse send I loved Ascend was probably my fuse send I loved Ascend was probably my fuse send I loved Ascend was probably my favorite if I'm being honest with you uh favorite if I'm being honest with you uh favorite if I'm being honest with you uh these are Concepts that no other these are Concepts that no other these are Concepts that no other developers dared to really try to put developers dared to really try to put developers dared to really try to put into a AAA experience the way that the into a AAA experience the way that the into a AAA experience the way that the Zelda team did here and it is remarkable Zelda team did here and it is remarkable Zelda team did here and it is remarkable I think it deserves its spot um despite I think it deserves its spot um despite I think it deserves its spot um despite some of the plot holes or some of the plot holes or some of the plot holes or inconsistencies if you will I do still inconsistencies if you will I do still inconsistencies if you will I do still think the story had a really solid punch think the story had a really solid punch think the story had a really solid punch had some really cool set pieces um I'm had some really cool set pieces um I'm had some really cool set pieces um I'm going to avoid spoilers I suppose but going to avoid spoilers I suppose but going to avoid spoilers I suppose but but I will say it's it's a game that but I will say it's it's a game that but I will say it's it's a game that that didn't mesh for me it wasn't for me that didn't mesh for me it wasn't for me that didn't mesh for me it wasn't for me but I can certainly see its quality and but I can certainly see its quality and but I can certainly see its quality and I think of this list here who's going to I think of this list here who's going to I think of this list here who's going to actually win it who's in the legitimate actually win it who's in the legitimate actually win it who's in the legitimate running um I think it's going to be running um I think it's going to be running um I think it's going to be between balers Gate 3 and The Legend of

between balers Gate 3 and The Legend of between balers Gate 3 and The Legend of Zelda tear of the Kingdom Allan Wake 2 Zelda tear of the Kingdom Allan Wake 2 Zelda tear of the Kingdom Allan Wake 2 despite myself not having played it the despite myself not having played it the despite myself not having played it the fact that it has gotten so many fact that it has gotten so many fact that it has gotten so many nominations throughout the the variety nominations throughout the the variety nominations throughout the the variety of categories it tells me that the of categories it tells me that the of categories it tells me that the the the panel clearly enjoyed Allen wake the the panel clearly enjoyed Allen wake the the panel clearly enjoyed Allen wake 2 a lot a lot a lot 2 a lot a lot a lot 2 a lot a lot a lot so I think that's kind of the Dark Horse so I think that's kind of the Dark Horse so I think that's kind of the Dark Horse that if Alan Allan Wake 2 could do it that if Alan Allan Wake 2 could do it that if Alan Allan Wake 2 could do it maybe but I mean that just comes down to maybe but I mean that just comes down to maybe but I mean that just comes down to the panel at the end of the day you know the panel at the end of the day you know the panel at the end of the day you know that's not necessarily the audience's that's not necessarily the audience's that's not necessarily the audience's audience's pick the average gamer if you audience's pick the average gamer if you audience's pick the average gamer if you will um I keep an eye on Allen wake too will um I keep an eye on Allen wake too will um I keep an eye on Allen wake too it got a lot of nominations so they it got a lot of nominations so they it got a lot of nominations so they clearly loved it um but I think balers clearly loved it um but I think balers clearly loved it um but I think balers Gate 3 tears of the Kingdom uh I think Gate 3 tears of the Kingdom uh I think Gate 3 tears of the Kingdom uh I think it's going to come down to those two and it's going to come down to those two and it's going to come down to those two and I'm going to probably give it to balers I'm going to probably give it to balers I'm going to probably give it to balers Gate 3 simply due to the impact uh it Gate 3 simply due to the impact uh it Gate 3 simply due to the impact uh it had during its release uh I had during its release uh I had during its release uh I think you know this shook the world this think you know this shook the world this think you know this shook the world this shook tears of the Kingdom shook the shook tears of the Kingdom shook the shook tears of the Kingdom shook the world balers Gate 3 shook the world when world balers Gate 3 shook the world when world balers Gate 3 shook the world when it came out um so much positive praise it came out um so much positive praise it came out um so much positive praise and Buzz and it was exciting to see a and Buzz and it was exciting to see a and Buzz and it was exciting to see a studio like larion have such a out of studio like larion have such a out of studio like larion have such a out of nowhere hit that that balers Gate 3 nowhere hit that that balers Gate 3 nowhere hit that that balers Gate 3 ended up becoming um Zelda I think we ended up becoming um Zelda I think we ended up becoming um Zelda I think we all knew it was going to be good and all knew it was going to be good and all knew it was going to be good and when we saw the gameplay reveals and the when we saw the gameplay reveals and the when we saw the gameplay reveals and the different mechanics we were all blown different mechanics we were all blown different mechanics we were all blown away and impressed and excited to put away and impressed and excited to put away and impressed and excited to put those to the test and people certainly
