I didn't know who this guy was until today, but I really like him. The business aspect of the gaming industry is incredibly interesting to me so this conversation had me engaged the entire time. Great chat, guys. Thank you
Personally I was very excited to see you guys start talking about Warframe. But, hopefully this doesn’t come off as aggressive as the “other” people you mentioned. But wasn’t a fan of how much Ruri pushed his opinion on its market/weapon system when it’s nearly 12 years out of date. LD was even explaining that’s not how it is anymore, it be ignored and then double down and say POE2 shouldn’t have it like Warframe, when it’s one of the most consumer friendly free to play games out there. But yes I do agree that slots and crafting timers aren’t a healthy thing to have still.
The only thing that I wish dragons dogma 2 had more of was story/meaningful dialogue. The end of the game happened and I had no clue how or why things were happening
same they missed the mark so bad with the story and pacing, seems like the game was rushed out to please investors given the performance and they way the game just ends at what feel like a half way point story wise with none of the plot points coming to any conclusion
@@graemeclark6680 dragon's dogma 2 has an awesome story, it just isn't told through exposition or anything, you just have to pay attention and think about what's happening.
@@Vivi-Sected nah I’m sorry not really, it’s not that I didn’t understand what was happening it’s more that what’s happening didn’t make sense or that the plot points didn’t lead to each other in a way that made any sense either
There's a quote about politics that's interesting and a constant need to remind people. "You might not be interested in politics but politics is very interested in you" there may be more to that that I can't recall. But to me it says while you can ignore, eventually it starts affecting you in ways you can't ignore.
*Warhammer inquisitor martyr* is a pretty solid Diablo clone with couch and online coop. Not sure how it holds for non 40k fan, but the biggest issue for me is too much content. Personally I like all the systems, loot, and player expression that opens up, but I can see it being a drag for some
I used to think Jason Schrier was one of the better games journalists based on his work in the past. But around Dragonage, he revealed he's just another one in the club.
LD calling Metaphor just another Persona game is a really reductive way of looking at the game. It does a lot to differentiate itself from Persona. It’s like calling Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance just another persona game.
Ruri with the genshin stamina...i been playing for two + years 100% every region.and stamina hasnt been an issue for the last year .mainly because your stamina goes up through statues you level up and even now some of the characters just make the stamina system a non issue... but as ruri(not asmon) says...it is what it is (look at the next busted character Mavuika coming out...you ride her motorcycle on water and up cliffs😂
The problem is that the launch experience for Gemshin wasn't that good. I played it for a couple of months when it came out, but I got bored and moved on. And once a game like that loses players, it almost never gets them back. Maybe they'll address it in Genshin 2. And keep in mind I actually play a bunch of gacha games at work, including HSR. So I don't mind that kind of game generally. But Genshin lost me. Also, locking QoL features behind limited characters kind of sucks, and isn't going to encourage a lot of people to jump in.
POE 2 does seem legit I’m tired of Blizzard screwing up the Diablo franchise and maybe this will be a good replacement. I don’t mind spending cash on a F2P game, but I have limits and it’s nowhere near over $400 for a game. I hope it stays true to what I’ve been seeing and hearing people say about the game!
I was terminally online and un-ironically liked d3 when there was real money auctionhouse because it was actually hard nightmare 2 was ass r*pe but that was fun. After they took the autionhouse out they made the game boringly easy.
Yeah if the story was really good it would actually be painted in a way better light because despite popular belief there’s a pretty good size section of people who can put game issues aside for a good narrative, it isn’t always gameplay.
I think he's kind of wrong about the helldivers situation. People knew the Sony linking was coming it was in the news cycle that whole month "the day of" didn't matter when people knew weeks before it was happening I'd say the balance issue was half of it and the Sony linking knocked the wind out of people well in advance because they knew it was coming
No one in my group knew it was happening, that’s a group of 33 people who played it every weekend and are fairly deep in games media. If you knew I’m surprised because I never remember seeing anything about it, if it was a message when opening the game then I missed it because I skip intro videos and messages.
ruri is so wrong about genshin and the stamina system, only dungeons cost stamina and if he means for exploration, he needs to explore to improve it lol, its their progression system
I played Genshin at launch for a couple months, and the fact that any meaningful progression was locked behind stamina was terrible. Especially once you've explored everywhere and had nothing else to do. This is coming from someone who really enjoyed HSR & WuWa, so it's not like I just hate gacha games or HoYo.
Afaik only one review from a french site had an extrnsive critique of Stellar Blade regarding the portrayal of the MC. So I do not see this outrage youre talking about. Game reviewed well, but was overall very derivative. My partner played it (she loves Bayo so you get why), I watched it, it looked okay but it was just a good attempt, nothing amazing. My wife and I are both trans btw, the nebulous "woke" every gamer seems to hate nowadays, just so we're clear where Im coming from. The only people who threw fits about it were grifters and Grummz, who if you still take seriously, I pity you greatly.
I assume most of the outrage they’re referring to was on social media and not official game reviews, and as with everything on social media it’s blown way out of proportion (both the what is being raged about and the outrage itself) and taken too seriously. Fortunately internet shenanigans ≠ real life, for the most part.
@@Don9872 Oh yeah Twitter will throw a fit about everything, that's not an accurate represantation about how people actually feel about the game though and I fear more and more people in this weirdo culture war (especially anti-woke) actually use it as a basis for their reasoning. Being angry is just trendy now. Though I don't wanna put the blame on Rurikhan or LD here.
Twitter purposefully feeds everyone engagement bait and most of the time its rage bait. Ruri is slowly starting to turn into an annoy culture warrior. He is clearly ignoring that the of the vast majority of culture warriors are the antiwoke brigade in the gaming community right now..@Don9872
FFXV is garbage, it wasn't versus xiii like it should have been. It's a half bakes reuse of ideas from another game that had 2 rushed years of development.
@@deadcaptainjames6045 I disagree, it sounds to me like you haven't really listened to his words, maybe some of his fans act like braindead idiots, but if you listen to Zack you'll find he has a lot of good points, watch his latest video on why the video game industry has a clear agenda or don't and we can just agree to disagree. I believe the four of them together would have a lot of interesting things to say about the topic and the gaming industry as a whole.
@Trixie_I asmongold is a drama queen and his main content is thriving for drama only idiots would waste their time watching a drama queen click baitor lol
Either you have no clue how to identify somebody who is obnoxious, have seen less than 20 minutes of LD's content and made an uneducated and incorrect assumption, or more likely, he had an opinion that most of us agree with that you don't agree with and you're using obnoxious as a way to defend your own feelings, lmfao. I feel like it's the last one, why don't you list some examples of LD being obnoxious, and just know I catch most of his live streams and definitely all of his short vids on the gaming industry. So I'll know if you're making stuff up. By pumpkin

Ruri: "I played Veilguard for 99 hours and 100%'d it."
LD: _laughing_ "You poor bastard..."
Awesome interview, hope LD is a guest again sometime!
LD is a fun guy. Also will be cool listening to him talk about MH. I haven't seen him talk about it much, if at all.
I'm sorry for commenting on this private conversation. Great podcast!
I didn't know who this guy was until today, but I really like him. The business aspect of the gaming industry is incredibly interesting to me so this conversation had me engaged the entire time. Great chat, guys. Thank you
Legendary Drops is extremely eloquent and gets the point across like no other.
Love this collab
Such A great talk, love both content creators so much, good to have this surprise today, keep up the great job for both! Thanks for the content!
LD and Ruri! 2 of my favorite content creators together at last! 😂
This will be interesting!
I wonder if LD talks about warframe here as well, his WF videos made me a fan of his stuff

Yeah I love how he says he's not interested in politics but then proceeds to comment on it with a strong political opinion....
One thing of note in regard to helldivers drop off, while requirment stated on june, it was anounced around dragons dogma release date id say
Hope LD comes on again sometime.
As soon as wilds got a release date, i PTO'd the entire first week of march

I enjoyed the game after playing path, felt a bit squishy but was playing technomancer summoner. Story was interesting
I used to think Jason Schrier was one of the better games journalists based on his work in the past. But around Dragonage, he revealed he's just another one in the club.
If you want another fun Pokémon type of experience then try out a game called Nexomon.
People dropped helldivers 2 when the bots were wiped off the map in that big push before the sony account linking
Yeah I think a lot of people felt like they won the game at that point.
@ only for the bots to come back full force a day later it made all that effort feel meaningless
legendary drops is a cool dude

New myself about 2 months in advance id say around dd2 release
legendary slops
It's a shame it seems like Ruri is slowly morphing into a serial complainer. There are so many good games out there right now it's unreal
Strange, wasn't expecting LD on your channel. I guess you're alright Rurikhan. Even if you do whine about LS a lot.
ruri is so wrong about genshin and the stamina system, only dungeons cost stamina and if he means for exploration, he needs to explore to improve it lol, its their progression system
Yeah, I specifically said, for exploration, it was absolutely miserable.
