I guess these guys aren’t aware, but the new Dynasty Warrirors is actually looking to be a deeper take on the franchise. The combat is a lot more in depth and the developer said they took heavy inspiration from the Nioh games, which leads to some spectacular looking 1v1 boss battles. It’s possible that it’s a game that surprises a lot of people.
y'all are minor heroes for keeping it together and posting during this, thank you i am not in california, but i hope fans listening who are displaced can have some peace of mind while they check their sanity with this podcast
ryu ga gotoku studio actually did release 6 original games in the yakuza mold from when skull & bones was announced to its release. fist of the north star lost paradise, judgment, yakuza like a dragon (7), lost judgment, like a dragon gaiden the man who erased his name, like a dragon infinite wealth.
Get well soon huber and gabby! And stay safe from the fires everyone being from australia know all about fires but this 1 is crazy evacuate dont stay behind things can be rebought u cant.
I really enjoyed Damiani's conciliatory language when he was talking about upcoming games. As someone passionate about games and whose sensibilities are often most with gameplay systems that the mainstream doesn't like, it goes a long way with me when people use language that considers that everyone plays games for different reasons and what one person thinks is a "evolution" another person may think is a devolution. And what may "modernize" for some people may "ruin" for others.
Graces has one of my favorite RPG casts. They are just a great group of dorks. Everyone always says the story is bad too, but I also argue that while yes the PLOT isn't really great, it's a good STORY because it's so personal to the characters.
1:35:41 - RGG put in more enemies to fight since 5 (one fight is Kiryu’s 1 vs 100/Tojo Clan and Kiwami 2 had another 1 vs 100 mission.) As for Dynasty Warriors Origins, it’s already different from before just by looking at the game. 1:38:24 - Yakuza games are generally yearly, but they’ve increased steadily and they’re working on VF and a new IP now. 1:39:03 - This is a spin-off that takes place after Yakuza 8 and will include returning characters and likely talk about what happened before, because the plot is that he has amnesia and is trying to remember what happened. Also, none of the recent games are really stand-alone (7 builds up from the whole series, 8 has Kiryu reminiscing about the past, Gaiden is a tie-in for 6-8, and this one is after 8.) Lost Judgement and 8 are also connected because of an event in 7 and other stuff.
Can you revisit Trackmania Turbo one day ? It as an amazing, but hard solo campaign and a 4 players split screen local multiplayer mod It would be cool to see you replay this game together
Good run down but two other March releases I'm looking forward to are Beyond the Ice Palace 2 (same day as Bionic Bay) and AI LIMIT (same day as The First Berserker: Khazan).
Worst part about these fires is, this isn't the end, this is just the new norm, it'll happen again next year. The part about climate change people aren't realising is it's gradual, these fires got as bad cause instead of raining like it normally does in Jan it's windy. Here, which here is just some shithole in the U.K named Sunderland, Summer when we were kids was June, June-August was summer, stupidly hot, September kicked off Autumn/Fall, November was winter. Now, for the past 5-6 years everyone has noticed it doesn't start getting hot until late July, Mid August. November, instead of snow, we get tons of rain and wind. Snow starts in Jan now. The seasons are gradually shifting, to the point of, give it 20 years and we may legit have to redo the seasons, personally feel like we need too now, so sick of people saying when it's freezing cold in June "Summer has begun" no, still Srping, the seasons have shifted. So all that to say, L.A, prepare for next year cause chances are the lack of rain and the unprecedented winds are your new norm so this will happen again next year too. If you're in a position to move, do so, cause if you escape it this year, doesn't mean you will next year.
We got a tornado here last year and those normally happen way further west but because the delay and change in weather patterns that's just my new normal i guess, thanks like 5 corporations.
It's curious hearing an accusation of a game being "fake intellectual" from someone who said that Disco Elysium was incomprehensible to him based upon his personal limitations. On what basis is he judging the games as falsely intellectual, and how does he discern fake from genuine intellectualism? Why would there be an assumption that this new game is falsely intellectual in the same manner as the other two? Maybe I'm not familiar with an established shorthand this particular panelist has with the audience with regard to the intellectualism of writing, in the same vein as the established trust on the matter of which shotgun is the awesomest. I'm happy to see critique and encourage it, and I've never played any iteration of Nier -- I just like to understand the guiding principles behind these type of polemics. I'm here for thoughtful commentary from the pros!
"Fake intellectual" makes me think they don't have a deep understanding of philosophy or psychology. They truly did not understand the game and its underlying meanings.
Unfortunately everyone in eza hated or didnt enjoy nier automata except Ben. I watched some of Damianis playthrough of Nier automata and it was painful
2:17:57 To be fair, GPUs very rarely consume the amount of power they are capable of consuming, and 1000W PSU recommendation is there to also accommodate power-hungry CPUs. Also, you’ll be getting a lot of frames per second with 5090, so the “cost of a frame” would be not high at all.
Isla downplaying Blood's fizzle with "well I'm friends with the studio" was kind of lame. Personal bias is such a weak point with game discussion. I guess we'll never get proper impressions with any of the studios games unless its extremely positive.
My Q1 sizzle is Blade Chimera and fizzle is Assassin's Creed Shadows. Ubisoft is probably done as a company if that fails. Besides Rainbow Six, AC is their bread and butter franchise and if AC Shadows bombs their investors are going run for the hills.
Considering AC Valhalla is the best selling entry in the franchise and made Ubisoft a billion in revenue, I think they're gonna be fine with the new one.
Yeah Nintendo just looks silly now not showing Switch2 at this point. And acting like Mario Cart 12 won’t be a launch game. With old tracks available for purchase in packs. Seriously though there has to be a new Contra or something that people have been wanting like Remake Super Metroid or Castelvainia or original Zelda. Games like FF7 remake/rebirth will be old news and won’t push initial sales. And let’s face it, no one wants to buy a Nintendo to play 3rd party ports.
2:15:00 I played the ancient gods, do not play it, watch it on youtube, it is the most boring ass generic slog fest, every fight takes longer than the last, upwards of 30 minutes if memory serves of just doing the loop perfectly until finally you win and if you fail, which our ADHD ass did cause the longer they went on the more bored we got so it caused fail after fail after fail as we just lost all focus. It, is probably the worst DLC we've ever played and the fact we played it around the time of Erdtree, which is by far the fucking best DLC ever, it made it feel even worse. If you do play it, do yourself a favour and drop it to easy AF mode cause it isn't actually hard, just a long ass fucking slog and if you drop it to easy at least there's almost 0 chance of failing due to boredom and it'll drop 5 hours off your DLC run time.
Hope you all get well soon but the coughing and throat clearing was really hard to tolerate. Please mute that stuff, edit it out or replace the folks who are feeling under the weather
Apologies, Huber was muting it in Zoom while we were live, but we also recorded audio separately for the final product and we overlooked that it wouldn't be muted there, since we were already a day late, working outside our normal workflow, and preparing to evacuate. -Bloodworth
Great show, hope everyone is safe over there. I'm baffled by them expecting all these current gen games coming to the switch 2. The Switch 2 isn't going to be as powerful as a ps5/XSX. It's going to be on par with a X1X/ps4. There's no way BG3 could run on a switch 2, it barely runs on a ps5. Indiana Jones uses mandatory RT GI. No way.
Doom Eternal, Ace Combat 5, The Witcher 3, Civ VII, etc. are on the original Switch, and developers have only put more emphasis on multiplatform scaling since the Switch launch, with the lingering PS4 market, Xbox Series S, and Steam Deck. We're definitely going to get current gen cross platform games on Switch 2. MS has already pledged to put COD on there. -Bloodworth
@@EasyAllies Those 'impossible ports' will surely happen. We don't know the exact specs of the switch 2, but some things i just can't see. Depending on the hardware of course, but anything with mandatory ray traced GI like Indiana Jones or Alan Wake 2. I don't think the devs are going to want to rework the game and relight the scene using raster techniques. But again, it depends on what exact the Switch 2 is packing.
@@ryanschindler923 Switch 2 is going to have AI upscaling similar to DLSS with internal resolution of 540p and output resolution of 1080p. So it's very doable to have current-gen games ported to switch if they only have to render at 540p. And 30 FPS is a very likely compromise for the higher fidelity games.
Looks like you don’t understand tech very well. There is a reason why ps5 usually gives better performance although series x is more powerful. Or steam deck is on par with ps4 and still can run all the current gen games. There is a reason why Series S can run Indiana jones with stable 60 fps. Architecture plays a huge role. If the rumours are true, It will run all PS4 generation games without struggle. It will run all the cross gen titles. It will run all current gen games with compromises up to this point. It will run most of the games for rest of the generation with compromises. And it will get some support for the next gen. Just like the original Switch.
@@hododod246 the ps5 usually has better performance because it's the lead platform during development due to a higher install base and thus gets more optimization time and resources. It and the xbox are nearly identical otherwise and they both use the same x86 architecture lol, so maybe you don't know much about tech. And you're just agreeing with me, i said it will probably be around a ps4/pro level of performance. The switch 2 isn't going to be on par with a series s. We already know that, as you said earlier. Indy wouldn't run on a Xbox one or ps4, unless you count 5fps playable. And also like you and me both said, all this is based on rumors, no one knows exactly the specs, so this is all guesses.
This bas been an issue since the MCUs inception, so it's unreasonable to pin it on just this film. But yeah, that bothers me a LOT. Obviously it varies by writer, but there used to be a lot more effort put into the reason why specific heroes had specific abilities and why nobody else could do what they do. But with the MCU, everyone is basically Iron Man, so everyone should be able to do everything and no superhero is unique.
Damn best wishes y’all❤❤ a canceled episode would have been very much understood. Take care out there!
Glad to see everyone safe. Nothing but L&R
Man, Huber looks like he feels terrible! I feel for him!

Thank you for uploading during this insane week! I’ve been feeling overwhelmed and it helped me calm down. Love you guys! Stay safe 🙏

damn, hoping you all are safe out there.
I love you all, Allies
Really grateful you decided to this at all! I really hope this a comfort for you.
Finland loves you too, Huber. ❤
Get well soon huber and gabby! And stay safe from the fires everyone being from australia know all about fires but this 1 is crazy evacuate dont stay behind things can be rebought u cant.
SWITCH 2!!!! I CANT WAIT REACTION FROM YALL!!!
Man, I hope you all are safe and Brandon too. So many memories in that garage 😢
I may be mistaken but I think I heard them say that Brandon sold that house and doesn't live there anymore.
Glad all of you are safe
Thank you for the feature! 💙
Good to see everyone is safe and well. L&R
Love these videos so much. The new Lonely Mountain game was not on my radar at all before this and I loved the first one. (Also, stay safe yall)
Stay safe, take care of each other, get better Huber.

L&R all! Now more than ever 🙏❤️
donkey kong is available in the arcade archives series on switch
Graces has one of my favorite RPG casts. They are just a great group of dorks.
Everyone always says the story is bad too, but I also argue that while yes the PLOT isn't really great, it's a good STORY because it's so personal to the characters.
Get well soon guys and gals! But also when is Fantasy Game Dev?
Stay safe everybody! ❤ 🙏🏽 L&R
L&R Allies! Keep safe
I like Isla's Fraggle Rock joke even if everyone else ignored it
I didn't catch either Huber's Sizzle nor Don's Fizzle, anyone else?

Welcome to the easy allies coughcast !
Isla saying "ex CROSS illia" reminded me immediately of the old GT bit
Damn Huber. I’ve had the same cough the last week 😢
2:07:34 i swear I heard "Atelier Goonia", and I was like "damm, this franchise is too selfaware about the state of its fanbase"

Did they not even play the new dynasty warriors demo? its completely different than the old formula....
So was 9 (it sucked though). The series hasn't been "normal" in like a decade.
aww poor Huber lol
I played Blade Chimera Demo on steam, it is crazy good
Looking forward to it. Team Ladybug doesn't miss with their games.
Keeping the tradition of bad Nier takes alive.
Huber is right. Nier Automata is pseudo-intellectual garbage
"Fake intellectual" makes me think they don't have a deep understanding of philosophy or psychology. They truly did not understand the game and its underlying meanings.

It's very expensive in general and specifically for what you're getting out of it.

Isla downplaying Blood's fizzle with "well I'm friends with the studio" was kind of lame. Personal bias is such a weak point with game discussion. I guess we'll never get proper impressions with any of the studios games unless its extremely positive.
knowing people at the studio still falls short of general white games media in their 35-45s nostalgia for whatever they played in 1998
you guys don't play or wars properly lool too many answers that shows the positives for the alternate choice haha
King of Fighters is going to tie Final Fantasy with King of Fighters XVI, whenever that happens. Pretty safe bet they will get to XVII before FF, too.
I wish Bloodworth would call himself daddy as many times as Isla calls herself mommy.
That always makes me cringe.
My Q1 sizzle is Blade Chimera and fizzle is Assassin's Creed Shadows. Ubisoft is probably done as a company if that fails. Besides Rainbow Six, AC is their bread and butter franchise and if AC Shadows bombs their investors are going run for the hills.

All these non Nintendo companies showing off the Switch 2 reminds me of John Oliver with Last week tonight and it's team of lawyers. lol
