look the part so you are just more formal than i this is just how i dress i should just better so today i want to talk about games are playing we haven't seen each other for a while you got out of pocket step and also just some games i'm excited about that coming out soon and i want to most frustrating metal gear game i've ever played i'm a big fan of the series and it's not what i expected so what makes it weird because i definitely don't understand how it can be you know difficult at times but what's the weird part you think well it's this it's this dichotomy i think between this perfect distillation i think of what is kind of been striving towards in terms of stealth and this game that still really really wants to be a narrative game but it can't be because it's an open world game so it just kind of doesn't necessarily work on on a story level you know you're like in these sections you're like well i'm just going to go and do a bunch of stuff for hours if i want to yeah sure and then oh yeah wait what was the story again so and it's weird because it has these points in the game that are sort of like narrative chokeholds  a sort of takes back the camera if you will and it's like ok now you're going to play this very linear section for a long section of time yeah and it's just kind of like it goes against everything else of the game is trying to be so it's very contradictory yeah and you fulton everything because that is definitely a fun part i do i felt in everything last show of this show actually i found out the full thing is a real thing it is yeah well it was it was a sub doing it in  the ninety six i think so many people probably does yeah yeah actually well i don't know according to wikipedia it says only one person in the entire history of the program died that's not possible to lie you know so you're playing metal gear that's fun it's a little weird i agree with somebodies base like a you know like the dark souls type situation and just feel like well i'm going to i'm going to take all your stuff yeah yeah i want to try that that's one thing that i haven't done with that yet it's cool it's fun it's a lot fun yeah what's the game you said  the other game is the nathan drake collection oh right hearted trilogy i'm excited to try i mean like we have played these games but it is fun to go back is there anything new at all at all there's not anything new per se but this collection so they they know what they're doing there and yeah very very good hands they have basically made the games look like they're they're pretty much brand new which is really impressive especially with drake's fortune because that came out two thousand and seven games almost ten years old that's crazy to think and it looks really really good in terms of the rhythms of combat and stuff it's a little wonky now because it's like oh well now you dog seemingly didn't quite have the the resources that they needed to kind of pull off what they wanted to do so it's not quite as with it as snappy as uncharted two and three but it's still it's still good they kept it a rating on it right and they just got better you know then you go back and like they could have done it in now yeah so it and it's a kind of game where i mean i love my dog and i think there are some the best storytellers in the business but drinks fortune i feel like is the uncharted that you play really just for the story because the gameplay isn't quite there yet yeah but it's a fun thing to go back again we're getting reminiscent because the new ones coming out and you can see the guys yeah that was the big thing out of there like he had his chest hair crazy well that's going to actually go actually pick that up because i do want to kind of get back into that world before the new one comes out which the new one comes out next year sometime in march i think ok that no it actually might be april march or april it float around so much and i don't know but ok but earlyish march so believe me we've planned fall out for all that time for until from november till then i don't even know what i'm going to get a chance to play fall still haven't played the which are like it's either or at this point you're in no way my first episode on this show i talked about how i need to take a break from that which are three yeah i'm going to go back just like lost or never for me so that sounds about right you can't do that all figured out i mean you will i i don't play that many games anyway like i just kind of pick and choose so i'm ok just playing one game for a really long time  yeah actually one of the one of my favorite games last year and we know isolation actually my favorite game last year your favorite was and i spent like fifty hours on it because i wasn't really slow as you want to just i didn't see you don't even don't even just go ahead sure go ahead i'm playing the concrete jungle i've heard of this i haven't it is a sim city deck building game ok which seems weird and cool from the beginning a lot of these games on steam if it has a good trailer it really is the way to pull me in this had the art style like ren and stimpy ok and very big chance funny cartoon guys and girls and just like different weird voices and it was just fun and simple i was like hey come on and help us out and build a city it's not a sim city game though you're not building a city and then watching it do its thing you are playing this game it's almost like tetris so you literally have these land boxes and squares and you have their own rows and so each row you want to clear so by clearing it how you clear it is you put these other houses down and then you buff them in a way so you put like a school next to it and the school gives the house  point and then if you put a shopping center near there and that kind of adjacent buff touches the house it gets another point you're pretty much trying to get two or three points or whatever the point total is for your row when you get it destroys it and i mean does it look like you know it blows up or anything but you remove that that section and that's what you want to do if you want to keep getting rid of these rows to get to the end of some sort of goal so basically tell you that city planning means building a bunch of things and then destroying them so that new developers can come in and give you more money but then eventually they'll get destroyed you know just and that's that's just like that's brilliant i didn't think of that metaphor that's it that's exactly what they're doing there is only some tongue in cheek stuff there that's what i originally got it for i was hoping that that was you know peppered in the game and it kind of is i mean the little tutorial of the woman who's don't tell you that she is that kind of cartoony character and has that kind of fun flair and so i'm hoping that as you get further in for the campaign to get more of  that but there's also multiplayer which i haven't even touched but i think that would be really fun yeah check it out it's concrete jungle and it's i think super cheap like fifteen bucks to me that's cheap it's very cheap cheap you know i mean you know it's average average price for steam it seems weird because it can go back you can get like fight our games yeah but i think is it worth it like fifteen bucks and it's super addictive but just so you know if you're going to get it it's not a sim city game like you're not building a sitting and watching it you know it's like you're building a city in the destroyed destroying it but somehow feeling really good about it yeah concrete jungle check it out still playing under tale you know about that right you know we talked about that last episode if you want to check out the last episode  we talked about it actually i didn't really talk about it too much but it's it's very cool it's actually cooler than i thought and it kind of a met a game that let lives underneath it have you played much of it i haven't i haven't played any of it i was at a friend's house the other day and he was playing it so he was in this part where it was like a spider world and there was a bake sale oh that sounds great those two words together isn't great and then because he didn't buy anything at the bake the spiders are mad and then he had to fight the queen spider i guess and it was like a rhythm game yeah most of the all the encounters are the little rhythm the moment sure it's such a cool game changer it was very interesting yeah for sure i di fun fact i was about to talk about this in the pod cast but on the show i was about to by telling out five and then really good friends of mine talked me out of it as they should have yeah i was doing up by that game and for the record if i mention on the bike yes well i got a console's which i didn't know came out so that's true then you're probably right but it works great with the analog it just feels like i was i was you know jones in for this tony hawk experience yeah you kicked flips and all these things and it feels really good so i was really surprised by that and then last thing i'm playing right now i'm playing ali ali on my p s four and i'm also playing project a tony hawk's project eight he member that game yeah i don't remember what system is for though ok so probably p s three x or sixty it was before proving ground which was not good and it was good it was like a priest skate era i believe and were like there making the tricks a little more in depth where it was more about nailing the trick and not just doing a million my friends would sit around the you know we would all sit around the t v and try to beat each other scores yeah that was fun but they got a lot better than i did so i was going to yeah i'm going to play square r p g yeah don't see it i'll be like one hundred hours in here yeah so let's talk about a couple things that are coming out soon sure there's anything on the horizon that you're excited about i have a couple things well transformers just came out true the platinum game i keep forgetting to get that i briefly got to play that nice three seem pretty solid i guess it's the same director who did revenge and which is my second favorite plot and game and now again there's just so many games and i'm ok with a four or six hour experience yet totally do i want it oh actually i did want to mention everybody's going to the rapture love that game ending i haven't played it  then it doesn't even still really run that fast i couldn't tell the difference i thought it was like one of the shoulder buttons it is it's supposed to write to ok but it doesn't really go out much fast can't tell the difference that's ok because it's a beautiful world an awesome world and you should the royal you should should appreciate the time you spend it yeah and i think that i mean literally one of my favorite endings and i had to get to the ending the swear words but i was like you know one hundred in the morning kind of thing or like i should probably put it down but it was so compelled yeah it was so close yeah and i was just it was a cool like mental image in my head that i thought about afterwards so that's a pretty good case scenario i yeah i definitely want to see it's based on the d m d world you must i've heard of it i don't know much about it i saw someone play it today on game spot even more excited the general ideas is it looks like baldur's gate so you know three quarters of you r p g style based on d rules was a coaster totally and you know obviously coasts in the title it's it's cool there's a i think there's a main story thing but the main thing that i'm excited about is you can play multiplayer but you can make your own worlds so you can be centrally set up your own campaigns as a d m ok here's where it gets really i'm sorry i've been doing a lot of camera work i don't do that much i'm sorry i stop right now here's what's really cool you as a d m can go into the world that the dungeon they're in and literally after you've already made the whole world with checkpoints and n p c s and everything and when they get into the combat area you can be a floating d m and just control the monsters or create new zombies all of sudden or create new challenges so it feels like the pen and paper stuff you can actually do a little yeah you can actually like improv and yeah there was all there was a section where they had like he created this rock wall and he said ok you guys go up to  a role for like if you can break down the wall and they all like went up and do like a roach act and that's so cool and then because they were doing voice chat he could like literally just d m and be like well you successfully did it and you got to the rock wall so what stop you from just being a total jerk and be like well now there's like eight more rock walls nothing ok well nothing but good on board yeah yeah you could be like a terrible the embargo and really mean person yeah the fact that they give you that ability as a whole new interesting way to think of multiplayer in that way yeah that's really cool i wonder why no one did that before i don't know seems really obvious in hindsight technology internet speeds some of that stuff you know maybe you know  a laughter well i mean you know the people watching they're laughing at home yeah hopefully hopefully so our coast legends were almost out of time because this is a t v show and it's so fast i think that was it did you have anything else you want to play what are you working on am working on a long form kind of history thing halo oh cool halo five just halo the whole series right by halo five next year is that right now no five this month is this month this month got my facts wrong i think it's october twenty seventh how perfect that you're doing that microsoft will enjoy well that's great though that is perfect at the same thing when metal gear i immediately went to retrospective videos and articles yeah it was like read stuff get my knowledge in my brain metal gear is like a once every couple years things like i just go back and play through either some or all of them yeah but that is great i like that idea of going through and look at all of them and so will check that out where he will find that on well when it's ready that'll be on vice at some point whenever it's done it's going to take a long time whenever it's like dot com awesome website i think that's a i mean that's not my website but you yeah thank you i've made that whole thing see working people find you on the internet people can find me on twitter my twitter handle is afraid to merge all one word he so afraid to merge well i never was because of the whole
