Damiani, get your Zelda-loving ass back on Okami and finish it! It's still one of the best action-adventures ever and has one of the greatest finales in the genre!
Man Kyle is such a great host (even though he wasn't the host) great probing questions .. "imagine we don't know what X game is tell us about it" .. engaging conversation ensues
Was hoping for Brad to join Kyle and Jones, still these eps are always great and a highlight of the year. Here hoping for Ben to show up in one of them someday.
To build onto the Screamer hype: Graffiti, the makers of the original, rebranded to Milestone shortly after its release. So the new game is made by the same studio that did the original. This is a passion project if I've ever seen one.
The thing people need to understand about Screamer is that the PC games industry and the console games industry used to be two entirely different things that rarely communicated. They were often sold in entirely different stores, had entirely different magazines and had entirely different heroes and star developers. But occasionally a game would appear on one platform that made the other jealous. For pc gamers, that usually happened when some stellar Japanese game came out in the arcade or on platform and it wasn’t available on PC. In the early 90s, that was Ridge Racer. 3d gaming was just taking off and the PC gamers were jealous of the fancy new 3d graphics in arcades and in home with the likes of PlayStation and Saturn. Enter Screamer, which was the first 3d arcade racing game in the style of a 32 bit console game that was sold for PC. It allowed gamers to finally have something that felt competitive with the new consoles that were ushering in a new page in gaming. So that’s why the reviews sound so hyperbolic in terms of what they are saying about the game. Screamer was like Marathon on Mac or Crash Bandicoot after Mario 64. It felt like striking back.
Bummed Solasta 2 got glossed over, a very nice Indie 5e game. It’s overshadowed by BG3 obviously, but it makes a lot of smart changes to the RPG genre that makes it worth the look
The witcher trailer..the father had a black eye and was bleeding, hinting he tried to stop them from killing her. Also, that one village guy asked Ciri whose coin she took further hinting the father paid ciri to intervene but didnt want the others to find out.
The hate around the game is so annoying. It's a new single-player game from Naughty Dog and all you see on comments sections is "haha bald womman, concord 2". Culture wars are so boring.
@ They definitely haven’t played nd games before, this is simply an introduction/ first glimpse of a new thing (maybe that’s why people didn’t grab on right away) still it has a lot of substance and a ridiculous amount of detail to gush about. I think people would be surprised and astonished when they show the gameplay demo, the potential for a sci-fi game with melee focus by ND is through the roof! They will deliver big time.
@@Uniberryy no, the Naughty Dog we all loved is no longer. This is pretty much a new set of people and they have different goals. This is obvious. I used to get so, so, so excited for naughty dog games, it was a special moment. Now, it just feels dead and overcome with political agendas. I hope I'm wrong, but I understand why people are not as excited.
The problem is, Huber is always so hyperbolic so you can never know if he's being real or not. That's why Kyle called him out on it. No one is questioning his love for the game.
The fact that Turok is made by Saber is enough for me. After Space Marine 2, I trust them to do awesome third person action games like that. That's personally what has me so hyped about it. If it was some random studio, I would be more worried.
I’m with you guys on Turok. When I think of that franchise I think Big AAA state of the art (at the time) cinematic meets old school single player first person shooter. Turok origins just looks like Sabers follow up to World War Z now with dinosaurs. Not the return i was hoping for.
They didn't mention how the Elden Ring trailer contains elements from other Souls games? Like, Nameless King is literally in the trailer. Pretty important detail!
''In 1915, the Japanese issued its “Twenty-One Demands” of China, in which it asked that China recognize its territorial claims, prevent other powers from obtaining new concessions along Imperial Japan was wild. its coast, and take a series of actions designed to benefit the Japanese economically.''
Loved the episode, there's no better way to spend three hours than the podcast when Kyle and Brandon are back. PS - Turok is and always was mid at best😅 if it wasn't for the impressive visuals for the time it would barely be remembered, I love Huber's enthusiasm for so many games though
Huber... Sifu over Elden Ring? Lies of P? RE4 Remake? God of War Ragnarok? FF7 Remake and Rebirth? Like a Dragon 7 and Infinite Wealth? Alan Wake 2? Spiderman 2? Hi-Fi Rush? Rogue Legacy 2? Shredders Revenge? Hades? No shot he actually believes that, lol.
@@aPizzaStainedSlob I'm listing games that Huber likes, not necessarily games that I like. He said literally last week "Lies of P is one of my favorite games ever."
Appreciate Gabby being on the desk too. Always a delight seeing Kyle and Brandon but glad that didnt stop the team from overshadowing other perspectives.
Huber, I don't buy it. Sifu, your favorite game for the last 5 years? All the Resident Evils, Last of Us, Cat Quests? SEKIRO? I don't buy that for 1 sec 😁. (I'm watching along while commenting. Didn't expect Kyle to stay on it for so long lol) I think I gave you flack the last time you hosted when Kyle was on, but you did great as a host. Granted I still think you need someone like Kyle (whose always playing devil's advocate) to bring it out of you. That being said, Capcom has been on a tear (Sega kinda been cooking too) and I'm here for it. Let's go Okami and Onimusha. Gabby, don't let Kyle get away that easily with Palworlds. The way he attacks Metaphor is the way you should attack him and Pokemon 😆.
Intergalactic's branding boiling down to "it's okay when they do it" is so infuriating. It's still a fictional sci-fi story. She's been isolated for 600 years. It's a distant galaxy. It makes as much sense as FFXV. People are giving it more of a pass because it's "realistic" or "cinematic" or "aesthetic" but it's more blatant than XV ever was with Coleman(disregard Cup Noodle, but that was so blatant it was hilarious)
You can like or not like the branding, but in a trailer like that it at least tells us something: it's an alternate future. It's not there just for $$$. XV wasn't based in our world at all and didn't even try to act like it was. I truly think that's different. You also misunderstand, the planet she's going to has been isolated for 600 years. She has not been herself.
@HastyElderHaman She's isolated in another universe/planet. There's no integration of the branding in an isolated setting. They're just showing off collaborative sponsors. The only reason you could say XV was less "based in our world" is because you recognize the brand name.
@@Stealitnot As someone else said, you are mistaken. The conversation between her and her 'agent' or whatever she calls her, is before she gets stranded.
Kyle getting hung up on Huber calling Sifu his favourite game of the last 5 years is exactly the banter I miss from this crew
And then the rest of the group just throwing games that Huber loves from the past 5 years to throw him off his crusade for Sifu 😂
God I miss Brandon and Kyle on the podcast 😢
bring back the golden years !
It's a fair thing to say but we have to respect their situation.
the energy just hit diff
Its such a treat to have them back every year! ❤
Crazy to see Brandon jones completely move on from videogames

No
@@DonnyKanone chu mean no
@@foogod1838 oN!
Yeah, Kyle not participating in at least one weekly podcast is a loss for us all.
@@timogulso true. He has a unique outlook and his theatrics and antics are so missed on the easy allies pod. I’m just glad we get delayed input.
Kyle survived the squid games!
Huber, Jones, Bosman. Put them together on anything and I'll watch it.
It’s amazing how good the chemistry is with the OG allies and even Gabi giving Kyke shit works so well.
Completely agree
Shoutout Don for all the behind the scenes stuff to make this work so well.
I say it every time it happens; I could listen to a 6 hour long podcast whenever these two are involved
Okami 2 was the best sequel announcement I never asked for. What a wholesome surprise
Great job hosting Huber.
KYLE AND BRANDON??!! I miss y'all together so much
So glad this is happening, thanks everyone involved
Miss Kyle, Ben, Brad, and Brandon.
A lot of great people that made this group what it is
Don going bone in over boneless just reaffirms his legend status
The Last Guardian is still great
YES! I would love an update with improved frame rate, Trico AI, and camera.
@@naumchomsky8840
and better image contrast, it's so hard to see anything in Last Guardian!
It's amazing. No mistakes were made that year for Easy Allies GOTY.
we may be few but okami is the big one of the show for me
clover heads are the best kinda loyal.
"you.didnt feel any empathy for them" "NO" never change Kyle
I want Kyle and Brandon back!
love jones and kyle on the podcast.
you guys should do this every week

"Become hard" -Kyle Bosman, 2024
To build onto the Screamer hype: Graffiti, the makers of the original, rebranded to Milestone shortly after its release. So the new game is made by the same studio that did the original. This is a passion project if I've ever seen one.
I’m gonna need Huber to list the 100 games he played where he was a space bounty hunter so I can work on playing them all immediately
It probably wouldn’t be too hard to get there. You get a pretty significant boost from there being like 15 Metroid games.
I see Kyle and Brandon and I am jumping straight into this!
The thing people need to understand about Screamer is that the PC games industry and the console games industry used to be two entirely different things that rarely communicated.

Screamer was like Marathon on Mac or Crash Bandicoot after Mario 64. It felt like striking back.
These three together are my happy place
How come no betting special for the Game Awards fellas?
Made me miss Kyle and Huber betting specials 😔
Bummed Solasta 2 got glossed over, a very nice Indie 5e game. It’s overshadowed by BG3 obviously, but it makes a lot of smart changes to the RPG genre that makes it worth the look
love the game awards but i love getting the gang back together even more :D
Shoutout to Don for the Chobits drop! One of my wife and mine's favorite anime when we started dating
The secret level episode suggests Shadow Labyrinth is a rogue like
The witcher trailer..the father had a black eye and was bleeding, hinting he tried to stop them from killing her. Also, that one village guy asked Ciri whose coin she took further hinting the father paid ciri to intervene but didnt want the others to find out.
Just count the shows: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024. 10th anniversary in 2024, but 2024 was the 11th show.

@@hass9510 what’s political about it though it’s a game set in a very distant future it’s all speculative and fictitious.
I respect Huber's bold SIFU take. Sometimes a game just connects. For me, it's Darkest Dungeon II.
The problem is, Huber is always so hyperbolic so you can never know if he's being real or not. That's why Kyle called him out on it. No one is questioning his love for the game.
Best game last 5 five years?
for me it's Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the First Sin and The Surge 1 --- i think they are better than any game made in the last fifteen years
