Oh, I got it. I need to get the super glue for the resale.

3:02Thanks for saying that over here, Kenami. As we get into spooky season, isn't that right? Queen of Screams Madeline Stanley. Hi, Greg. Hi, Andy. How you doing today? Hello. I'm excellent. I'm happy to be hanging out with you. How are you? Are you enjoying the Halloween season? Of course. I got my Jason shirt on. This is not Michael Myers. This is Jason, everyone. I don't know why. Blessing keeps calling Michael Myers Jason. I don't know what it's problem. It's an easy thing to mistake. It is not that easy, actually. It's actually quite. It's quite different. Quite different. Not the same thing at all. But I appreciate you trying to defend it for him. Nitro rifle and the Quattess. I mean, the day that that game was revealed, I was so confused with it. Because in my mind, I was just like, yeah, this already came out. Why is Greg so excited? Why is he excited for fun? Is he just like a different like, did they get the license back? I was so confused about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Different IP completely. Very different IP. But who could have known? I mean, anybody's paying attention to the different stream for 13th and Halloween. You know what I mean? I'm not on you, of course. I came up here. You were streamed with us last week.

4:02Halloween. Have you been playing more? Are you on to other video games? Yeah, actually, I played again last Sunday for my little Sunday scary that I do every week. I had a really good time played with some newbies showed them the ropes. Some of them were way better at being serial killers than I expected. Oh, it's really showing who, you know, how you know your friends, right? Sure. Like, we already knew you were a maniac, Greg. But now I'm finding out other people in my life are also insane. You know, it felt so good to get in there and murder everybody. Because you know, the problem was Mike and you had already played when Halloween. We got to the streams and stuff. So I was very concerned about how much Mike would already know how good he would be. And to be able to go in there and be in really just kill everybody and scream and, you know, talk about the devil and be the devil. I had a great time out there. I love that game. I'm excited for I think October. You'll see us return to streaming there. It's a great way to just unleash for you. Well, I put up a whole I put up a one of my Instagram Reels over there. I was edited by Reese Byron Fattal. Reese's videos are great. Reese did a great job of putting together my flip out freak out of murdering everybody over there.

5:02So go to Instagram.com slash. Game over Greg and watch it there. But this isn't about promoting. No. All right. Your four time game showdown champion.

I already see our Turo, Tron, Robo, bartender in there with comments about the game. Of course, we will be spoiling the blood of Don Walker. So everybody's trapping and getting ready. We'll talk about in a second though before we get into spoilers. Remember, we couldn't do this without our producers over on patreon.com slash kind of funny. So thank you, Omega Buster, Delaney, the sob twining and Michael Pesovento. For now, let's begin with topic of the show. I'm realizing I never gave it a review because I wasn't done with it.

6:02Yeah. Any court test before we go into full spoilers for the blood of Don Walker. This is still spoiler free. Still spoiler free. Give me your review on the kind of funny scale of the blood of Don Walker. The blood of Don Walker. Great story beats. Awesome NPCs. Yeah. Fantastic interactions. Yeah. progression that I don't love, but I think is more than good enough because of how you're talking about everything else. The skills trees progression skill trees abilities combat like I was never in love with those aspects. And if those aspects are kind of. You know, six to seven ish. No way really for me. Okay. And that's right. I'm obviously your review. I'm not trying to say that. Um, if I'm not super in love with those aspects of the video game, the story better be damn good. And the characters better be damn good. And luckily this was way better than I can. And then I could have ever hoped for. Um, I really enjoyed my story and my journey with this.

7:04I would give this an eight five. That's what I like to hear. I think it's like to hear it. I mean, it what a great. Like debut from this studio. Like a man fantastic start. And again, thinking back to just that, wow, you're really calling your shot with this futuristic version of Cohen in that trailer. What a silly thing to do. I mean, I went away for spoilers. I guess, but my god, when they did that, when they fucking did that, like, what are you doing? Don't be like that. It was how many times have we seen all where a bunch of triple A devs coming together to make a quadruple a game? It'll be great. Goes newer. These guys, we put out our first game, where we want to go in the next two sequels. Like what? Yeah, what really stunk is like, we watched that. And then I went to go do the preview. So I already had that a mind of going like, oh, man, I don't know if this game is going to be awesome or not stuff. And that prologue really blew me away. And then the rest of the game, I think, just has so many freaking fantastic side quests and so many optional, missable things that you could choose to not do.

8:04But if you don't, you may be missing out on your favorite side quests of the game. It's just so freaking damn well written with interesting characters and great twists and turns. It did everything I wanted to do. Story was hell yeah. And again, the combat not bad. I know it sounds like I was like kind of shitting on it. We're talking about progression. I felt like more. Yeah, yeah, definitely. I like combat. I like the combat. Yeah, I love the combat. Yeah, I had a good time with it. I just wish, uh, wish it was a, uh, I wish my end game Cohen looked and felt a lot different than my early game Cohen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that I totally vibe with. I think that'll be one of the things they take away for the sequels. Right? It's character customization. I'm not making it look like you've been on a journey and you've gone through something rather than you're the same kid. From the very beginning of the game, uh, Madeline, of course, uh, we are doing a spoiler cast. We're not in spoilers yet for folks who didn't see it. What did you give this on the kind of funny review scale? I gave this a nine out of 10. Um, I really found not a lot to have wrong with this game.

9:07I thought the story was amazing. I too was so incredulous of them shot calling a future game that has nothing to do with this. And I was in fact like, uh, kind of wrote, wrote it off. And then to come back such a comeback for me, this game where I was like, okay, like I love vampires, but, you know, I'm more interested in the future one now. But this one was so good. I loved all the characters. Um, I loved, I really loved the combat, even though I struggled with it at the beginning. And, um, I really felt like I went on this journey with Cohen and it was a my journey. One of the things that's been so fun is watching other people. I know stream this and them having completely different experiences than me. And every person is interacting with the game in such a different way, which I think is so cool. I thought it was really fun when after we did our review and Jordan Middler was still here in the office. I wanted to ask him about a certain NPC and he had no idea what I was talking about. And I was like, damn, that's just a really delightful little NPC exchange that is a multiple chain.

10:09A multiple chain mission or whatever, but for him to have not even been like, not on your note you're talking about. And it being one of my favorites. And it's not this gigantic, you know, consequential side view. But that's the great thing about these awesome side quests is that even when they aren't consequential to the overall story, they still hit in a good way. Because the writing's phenomenal and the acting is great. Yeah, it's just it's so likable. I think that's, you know, one again, I gave it an 8.5 when we reviewed it as well. But I think that conversation with Jordan that I was, you know, a part of listening in on is one of those things that's like. Proof the game so special because playing that I mean, I know there's clearly what the main mission is, right? But we said throughout this that the side missions feel like they're all feeding. There is no side mission. It all feels like it's main objective stuff. So I remember what you're talking about. And it was like when I got that I thought, oh, that's just that you have to do that. You're going to, you have to find that that would be something to eat. You know, you couldn't miss.

11:12And if I you missed it, I think really pretty talk over the game is. Yeah. All right. It's time to move in to spoilers, everybody. So this is your last chance to bail if you have not played this game. Of course, I still think this is one of those you could listen to and say, hey, now, maybe I want to go check out the game now, because there's so much going on. Maybe you're watching way later. If you are, hit me up on BS. That's blue sky and say banana cream pies go far. And that's how I know you're listening to the spoiler cast years from now, because that is, you know, still happens every day. You think it's really going to. You think that quote's going to resonate with you in. No, oh, well right now I get them all the time where people are like, banana pie pumpkin pie. They obviously not like I have no idea what spoiler cast. But I appreciate people still do it. It's a nice to know that they are still finding our content. Maybe it was yelling nonsense at you. Exactly. Yeah, it's not. Andy Madeline. Yeah. There's so many different places to start with this game. So much to talk about. But I do think let's piggyback off what we've already brought up. What a wet fart of a post credit scene to have shown me the fucking post credit scene three months before.

12:20Yeah, I would have lost my fucking mind. Yeah. If we would have played the blood of Dawn Walker, no idea that they were going to do a future flash forward. And we get to that end credit scene and the FedEx guy shows up and slides over the blood box and Cohen grabs it. And I would have been like, what the fuck this is amazing. It's that you showed that during SGF or PC gamer SGF showcase. And we're all like, what the fuck? Oh, no, the game isn't happening there. But we want to eventually why why'd you ruin that? Boo, boo, rebel wolf. Yeah, you you ruined daddy Cohen for us all great out with like with the gray beer looking all rugged. Yeah. And it's I think it puts it gets me excited for wondering where he's going to be out in the future Madeline because he looks like he's given his all to whatever this, you know, upcoming encounters going to be. He's got this really awesome like attitude about it. He's like, I have fuck I can do this all day. That sort of vibe. Yeah.

13:20But he looks like he's on his final bro like this dude. This dude looks so strong out. He as Greg mentioned for people who haven't seen it. FedEx guy arrives to an apartment and he opens a door and Cohen is there dying like pretty much looking like he's dying of thirst or starvation. Because he's a vampire needs blood and he's telling the FedEx guy, fuck it. Kick the box over here. I just need and he opens the box and there's a blood bag in there and he starts just eating drinking the blood and he looks like, you know, he's gotten maybe a week left. I'm trying to find a kick it over to assets to bear. I can't remember if it was SGF. There's a war IGN. It was SGF. It was SGF. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I see it. I see it. I see it. I see it. I got it. Yeah. There's like a guy levitating out in the window who's like trying to fight him. And obviously they're in a prolonged altercation. And what is all that about? It's very interesting. No. But it would have hit so hard if we hadn't already seen it.

14:20It was so confusing a game wars. Because it was like wait, I thought this game's in the fucking 14th century. 14th century nailed it. And they were like, no, no, yeah. And after the fact they're like, no, no, it is. We just wanted to give you a glimpse in the hint of where his story is going. I'm even fucking know this guy. Yeah. Like again, like this should have been at the post credits. I shouldn't have seen it or this should have been introducing the blood of dawn walker three or you know, or two or wherever we're out to go. But I assume we're going to stay in 14th century on the next one because we have to figure out what's going on with our baby sister. I love that he's still cutting the same hairstyle. I know, right? Seriously. He has not figured out a new hairstyle. Yeah. It's one of those. Maybe when you get bit, you just can't change your hair. You know, he cuts it and he grows right there. But then he does have the beard. So it's kind of weird. What I really needed from him was just a couple of strands of hair coming down near the like near the end. You know what I mean? Like like I always think about how our friend echo Chloe loves rave from uncharted. And how cool he looked when his hair just when he's like at the end of his rope, whatever.

15:22That's why I needed a bit more from Cohen near the end. And also maybe a couple of hair styles. Let me have my hair down again. I think that like let me look like Scott staff from Creed. I think that I think they're going to patch in trans mug because I want to be able to trans mom closes for as much as this stuff matters. And I think the future games that you the next game that'll be like they're one of their big additions. Yeah, you can really customize your coming. Let's talk about customizing our story. Madeline, Andy. Did you kill your mom? No. I did during the preview. Yeah. Yeah. And that blew me away when I started the review of the game because during the preview, I totally did not get the chemistry right for making that little dish. If you're unaware. Yeah. In the beginning of this game, you are sent on your first real fetch quest to make your mom a tier of soup. I forget what she is make make a concoction that'll help her have enough strength to go to church and do the damn thing. But you have to remember the recipe and pay attention to what they're saying.

16:23And it's such a great skill check right off the gate of like, oh, this isn't an RPG. You just click through the dialogue. Yeah. You got to pay attention. You got to remember what you're doing. And so then if you come back, if you fuck it up, yeah, she can die in the church. But it is one of those moments that doesn't really come back at all that sort of mechanic. And I would like to pay attention to. Yeah. And I was hoping it would because there's a very popular or very popular. It's just a mission in the Witcher 3 in a very popular game. The Witcher 3. And never heard of it. You are. Save myself for Witcher Wednesday. You are replacing somebody in a theater play. Yeah. And you are given a script. And I just thought, I'll know, you know, whatever, they're giving me the script, but it'll just pop up. I could just access it. But then the time comes to recite your line on stage. And I'm like, oh, I was supposed to memorize that. Oh, shit. Yeah. And, you know, I failed a couple of those selections or whatever. I love stuff like that. I let you know, so this kept me on my toes at the second time around.

17:23I remembered like, all right, remember the chemistry of it all. And the first time I did this during the preview, I did not remember the exact ingredients for the recipe. And when we got up to that altar, Brent says like, look at this little weak. He's a shit. We coward. And it immediately kills her on that altar. Yeah. Bites into her neck. And if you remember on the preview, I mentioned I was hoping for a bit more of an of an of an emotes in that moment. I was wanting a bit more emotive stuff from from Cohen because your watch your mom get killed on the altar. And he's just kind of like, no. And I need to like, no, like I need something massive. But, but it was cool. The second time around to go like, oh my god, you, you can saver. That's insane. This was one of my trepidations. The emotes, the emotes part. I would say this entire opening where like I had read the game and former cover piece and been like, oh man, this sounds awesome.

18:23I talked to you about it. I was like, oh man, this story sounds great. And playing it. I was feeling like, oh man, some of these scenes aren't hitting like I'm not getting the emotion I need. Nor might get necessarily getting the explanation. Like what the silver mines and the fact that that, you know, he had that Cohen has the silver in his blood from working and breathing. And that's why Brent says, like that was I think is explained in depth in the game and former interview piece. And I was like, that's really cool. And then playing the game. I was like, if I hadn't read that, I don't know if I would understand that this is somehow tied to the mines or whatever. And then I was like, is the whole game going to be like this where it's like, I have to use theater of the mind to fill in gaps or whatever. And I don't think it was. I think we, we get out of that. And I was like, okay, I'm, I'm into the flow of their storytelling. I want to pause right there because. Upon experiencing that and upon finishing, could use of a poem. Thank you. And, and I'll use it a second time and upon completing the game myself. I, I think that was gaming former speculating. Oh, okay. I don't think it was his, because a lot of people were exposed to silver and they're biting them all the time.

19:29Yeah. I, there are a couple of moments in here. Correct me if I'm wrong, Madeline, if you remember, but there's a couple of moments where. It's just the head vampire kind of alludes to. There's something greater within you. That's why. Okay. You're, you're shit hurt me. It wasn't like this. I have, you know, exposure to just being in these silver mines because a lot of people in the silver mines. Chaos killer killer says they mentioned the silver no longer wants in the game. We're silver in the blood. Because I thought what he, what? No, I was going to say I remember and I might be wrong. One of my favorite little pieces and I think we talked about this. Like we alluded to this in our initial review is like you can meet up with Brensis at this area called Shrikes Crag. And that whole scene is awesome if you did, did you both do that? No, which one is when I go to like negotiate with them like to bar. Yeah, I did that with you. So they do talk about it there. Andy. Oh, if that's so crazy that you didn't even do it because it's such like a major part.

20:30And that's one of the things I love about like RPGs right and having options and stuff, which is that he talks about like when he put his nail into or his tooth into. Cohen, that's like what turns you into the vampire. But yeah, that the silver already inside of him is does affect the the vampire nail differently. And they're not turning like they can drink anybody, but it's the it's the tooth into the body that changes it. And they're not putting their teeth into all of these people. They're just drinking them. Gotcha. Okay. Okay. That makes sense because I don't know there's there is that moment when he immediately reacts to the biting of Cohen. And he says, what are you? Yeah. And that kind of sucks that it's just well, he has silver. But I was hoping it was like you've got some. Over here in the chat out of time dad says the lacra says that the dawn walkers don't blood doesn't taste good. So maybe there's just. I wonder if the combination of the of yeah, there's something about him and the silver fucked with him.

21:30I don't know. Yeah. So it's interesting you bring up the parlay with Brences. I want to know your first playthrough for each of you. How did you beat the game? Like what what like what was your path defining him? I and I did not meet up at that spot. I knew that I wanted to. I wanted to create the sword. Yeah. You know, um, and that was like super important to like no, I really, really want to do this. I beat it with like two days left. Nice. I thought it would be about six days or so, but I kept on, you know, finding one more thing or whatever. Um, and yeah, I killed him in the, uh, I'm blanking on the name, but like in the nightmare world. Yeah, the empire world. Yeah. That's I think you end up there no matter what. Okay. Three endings I've done like they're different up into a point. That's so you get into the fight with him and then you would have an empire world to kill. Yeah, I beat his ass there. Hell yeah. Okay. What was your avenue to Brences Madeline? Yeah. So I met up with him because I wanted to see what he said.

22:30And I'm so glad I did because I feel like we talked about I thought he was so interesting. And I feel like I know nothing about him. And that little chunk at Shrek's crag was the most time we got with him. And I was wrapped. I was like listening to his every single word about why he did what he did, why he took over the town, like his motivations. Like he was still a very evil man. But I was like, okay, I love getting some insights on to why things ended up the way that they did. Um, but obviously did not side with him because he is very evil. I ended up, uh, going with Craig. I went with his whole thing. So I met up with him. We had a little romance going on. And then we stormed the castle and we did that together. And, um, I really liked that. The funny thing is that I did not know. So I completely missed Lacka all of her stuff. Somehow, somehow when I met her, I must have dialogueed my way of like fuck you lady or something.

23:30I never saw her again after I first encountered. I didn't do anything with her. And so I literally went back to I had saved every single day. So I have like day one day. I would say for every day of my play. So I went back to try to find before I had interacted with her. So I could see some of her stuff because, um, she's really interesting. And I didn't even know until the end of the game. Seeing other people play that we could spend more time with her. And then she has a whole ending as well. Yeah. And then I was like, I'm not going to be a comedian. Like, I be lined the second that I get the rumor of another. You're a rumor. There's a there's a woman here in the city. I'm like, Oh, shit. That sounds so fascinating. Yeah. Same with Vichot. There's another rack here. Oh, shit. I got to figure out this dude. Like, I love it. It's so compelling. Yeah. Yeah. For me, I did the crake ending as well. I didn't romance him. I was uncle all the way or whatever. Did you do the dirty with a Madeline? Yeah. Both. Hell yeah. I love that. I love that. It was me and Anka.

24:30Yeah. Um, and then she was like, we can't. Yeah. You know, come on. You're your vampire. Yeah. You're on the center. You know, so it's like, all right, I'm booty call, but that's okay. I'll accept that. That's one of those moments. I'm not going to forget. I'm just busting out laughing in headphones at my desk. And blessed looks at me. And I'm like, I'm having a graphic sexy right now in the office. Like, I have the way we go at it. And then I immediately flip her around. I'm like, it's so holy shit. All right. This is happening right now. Uh, and then I had real bloody sex with lacquer. Oh, yeah. I don't know. You could. So, sorry. We're going to have to. Oh, yeah. I did. Crazy. I rolled with craic because I'm my, in my head when I was roleplaying this, I was like, I'm here to get my family. So I want to, I want to be as strong as possible and get them out as quickly as possible. Early on, I had done the quest with, uh, or walked into my house. I walked into my accident with father Florian. They gave me the back door. Okay. He's like, Hey, you can go here and you can talk to this guy and he'll let you in. It was like, cool.

25:30And like, I was so early. I was on like 20 days on the clock. And I was like, you know what? I'm about to go to bed. I'm sure I'm going to get my head kicked in. What if I do it? And I went in the back door and I got my fucking face kicked in. It was the first time, like the monster flying dude dropped down my, what the fuck is this thing? Fucked me up in two seconds. Um, so one of them when I went and actually played, it was craic's storyline that ended first and gave me the army. And I went and did it. And I wasn't satisfied with it. I had already beaten all the, you know, the satellite vampires, all the, you know, Brances' court got in there. You know, you come in with this douchebag king who's just an asshole or whatever he is. You know, Jay Lannister type or whatever. I did not deal with Florian at all. Oh, this isn't Florian anymore. Oh, this is, so when you do the craic thing and you team up with the rebels, you basically open the back, back door to the kingdom and let in the, uh, the other kingdom that had been driven out. Gotcha. So now their royalties going to take over and they send in some guy who's immediately an ass like, uh, this is a bad fucking call this sucks. The argument like Brances makes of like, am I worse than the guys you're letting in that are just going to be boot on the neck of everybody else.

26:33Yeah. And anyway, so we did the whole thing and beat them. Obviously, we all end up at the same place right of Muka, a little zombie monster or whatever. And I was like, damn, and I was like, I wouldn't have done it this way if I had, you know, more, if I wasn't role playing. I tried to play a video game and even that though was that I think I was in the middle of that ending and I'm killing everybody and somebody made a reference to, uh, lacra and I was like, oh, right. I started that thing and it was one of those come back in the day and I forgot all about it. So I hadn't even gone and met granddaddy vampire. I hadn't done any of this shit. That shit was awesome. It was I, I came back out and did a run where I went back and did that and talked to him and did because that was awesome meeting the vampire that, you know, made obviously, Brances that then made us and it was our grandfather and then the fact that he tortured, I'm with you, Natalie, we talked a little bit about the review and now we can talk way more about it, right. The idea that like, Brances is so interesting and it's that problem we've seen so many movies and stories of, here he is at the beginning, fucking hours without him.

27:37And then here he is at the end and you, if you want to engage with these ending stories, you can get there, but I wanted him peppered throughout. I hope they do that in the next one, some regard. When you get those like, you know, missives of like, when your notoriety level goes up of like what the different underlings are saying about you, because I also would have liked to have more interactions with them as well of just like, what are they thinking? What are they doing? I think the sort of notoriety notes of like, Cohen's fucking our lives up, you see notes from different missions that you get right. They're like, oh, Cohen's fucking up all the slug farms or the leach farms, we got to get him. But it's like, I would have liked to interact with them a little bit more or seen more of them because I feel like by the time you go to kill them, you're like, oh, I've heard of you, but I don't really know anything about you. And I'm going to kill you in 30 seconds. Yeah, I mentioned, I guess I mentioned on the review that I wish that they, and what I would assume is if they had more budget, they would have loved to have done stuff like that because I would have loved the ghost of Yote approach.

28:40After so many missions, you cut to dude and he's like, they did what? You know, he's like, you know, I want to see him being a jerk to all of his like underlings or whatever. Not Princess, but all. Yeah, boom, boom, I'm hanging on the do with the long hair. Pretty boy. Yeah, here remind me of Ambrus Ambrus. Yeah, I wish we got a bit more opportunities to see their personality because they they had a lot of personality. Yeah, exactly. That was the thing I think, you know, using them almost as caricatures, right? Where Ambrus looks so much like a list at from interview with the vampire, the TV show right now that I was like, I don't need much more. I can already know who you are. The characters at the show being like, you know, I can send you a gift. All right, you're some crazy fucking witch. And then of course, back here. I'm like, all right, your like, gingers calling right, hand man. Kind of vibe. Get it. I got it. You know, you know, me. Yeah. And that worked for me for them. But Princess, I felt was just like so interesting and again, the argument he makes in each ending for why he's doing what he's doing.

29:41I thought we're cool like oh. to like keep them with you or exile them into like the Netherrealm. What did you both pick? I left them all there. Nobody's getting in here, all right, Madeline? Oh, okay. So I invited them on to my head. So you do kind of get more context for them because they're talking to you the entire rest of the game. So like any time you're... That's insane. What is that? How does that work? Anytime you're doing anything, one of them will be like, oh, I don't think that's a good idea. Or they'll be like, hmm, I think you said something. You fed on children like, I don't want to have the edge of my head. Or they'll be like, I think there's something dangerous up there. You got to watch out Cohen. And they kind of become like your little like... Wow. Which angel devil on your shoulder. That's awesome. And like some of them become, I think Ambrose ends up being like a little bit more nice to you. He's just like a little sassy whereas like the Genghis Khan guy is just like pretty bloodthirsty. He's just like, kill that dude. I think we should kill everyone.

30:42It's very interesting to have them throughout the game. So it's like, that's what made me want even more of them because I was like, well, I killed you so quickly and now you're here in my head. I wish I had gotten a little bit more idea of your personality, but you do get more of it if you invite them into you. Damn, that's cool. Yeah, I didn't want any of that. I didn't want, again, for Cohen. I was like, my Cohen, if you wouldn't do that. Yeah. When we're talking about like just awesome side quests, the side quests with the Eulian, I think was one that really, really like was awesome. I don't know. That's not jumping off the page. Eulian's a dude. Eulian's a dude who works for Ambrose. And he's like, hey, you want to kill Ambrose? Yes. I want him gone too. And granted, a lot of them have an underling who doesn't want them there anymore. But Eulian's like, what I recommend we do is, I recommend that, because here's what Ambrose does. He has an advisor that he, like a blood boy.

31:46Yeah. And he just sucks on that dude's blood constantly. That's like, that's his dude. And it's really demeaning what he does to this guy. So we got a poison this guy. So that when Ambrose drinks his blood, it's going to fuck him up. And then you can go in for the kill. And Cohen's like, poison is a person? Yeah. So there's an option to be like, all right, sounds good. And then fuck the other option is poison. I don't want to just poison innocent person or that's murder. And he's and Eulian replies with like, hey, you've killed a lot of people that are, they're underlings that are working for them. Why not? And he's very much like, is it really, is he really innocent? Yeah. You know what I mean? He's saying he was most angry. And sound like, hey, that's, that's true. You're actually right. So let's do this. And you go on this quest to look for this poison to find the lady who could craft the poison for Eulian. He'll be can poison this dude. And we find out that this lady's been killed. She was out trying to find different ingredients. And she was like, she had everything she needed to do the poison.

32:49But then she could go fight if this one monster is a gland would make it work. Well, we don't realize that yet. We don't realize that. I thought we did this point, but okay. Because Eulian then, when he's looking at this woman's dead body, he goes, I'm the blood boy. I'm the guy who Ambrose feeds on. And I want you to poison me because I want to die. And I want to take him out with me. And we're like, why the fuck would you want to think? Well, the reason she died was she was trying to get this gland from a big lizard monster. And that gland would make it so that I don't die. I would still, we would really fuck up Ambrose, but it would not kill me. And he's like, and I told her not to do that because I want to die. I really don't want this. I don't want to do this anymore. You're like, shit. So I went out to go help him go through this ritual or whatever. And I went to go fight that lizard. And I got that lizard's gland. And then you get the opportunity to put the lizard gland in the poison. Because you're like, ugh, do I. Do I save this man's life?

33:50Because it's the, I think it's the right thing to do. Or let him die because he wants to die. And so I'm mixing this poison or whatever. And he's like, yeah, you know, if I can do the thing, you know, let's get this thing started. And there's a moment where like I selected, put the lizard gland in there. And he puts the lizard gland in there and he looks back at Yulean and he's like, I'm not going to let you die. You know. And so we give Yulean the poison and he gets off, you know, fucked up or whatever. And he goes through his ritual, but he's like, all right, I'm ready to go. And when Ambrose bites me, I'm going to die. And hopefully that's when you can go in for the kill. Yeah. You go down to this boss fight. Ambrose bites Yulean as his blood boy before the fight starts to come over here. You know, let me let me let me let me die. He dies the whole thing. And I'm sure it was the same for you right? I was doing this before fight. Why does you drink with me? Oh, yeah. Amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Big sweat drop of like, yeah. Because you kind of make eye contact with Yulean as he's with Ambrose and he's like, you know what? You take a drink first says Ambrose to Cohen and Cohen.

34:52And I declined and I was like, well, how would I trust you? I went with the option of, you're offering a drink to me. I thought you're this high in mighty. I'm just a poor little fucker. And here you are like, how embarrassing for you to do this? And he's like, you know what, whatever. It was just a gesture. So he bites into Yulean. Yeah, it's all fucked up. Yeah. Makes the fight easier for me because he's constantly getting staggered. And Yulean at the end of it is like, I didn't die. Why the fuck didn't I die? And my Cohen is, I respond, I was like, that's crazy. That's weird. Crazy. That's the most Andy respond. That's crazy. Yulean, that's right. You should have died. How did that happen? That's crazy. We should go like do something or whatever. And he goes, you're going to pee. No, no, no, no, no. Did you put the lizard land in the poison? And I admitted and I said, yeah, I wasn't going to let you lose your life over this. Like, and Yulean looks at me and he's like, I bet you feel so fucking good that you're Mr. Hero and you saved my life.

35:52I wanted to die. You went against my wishes. I never want to see you again. Yeah. And I was like, damn. Yeah. That shit is baller, dude. It was so good. It is so fucking good. Yeah, see, I did, I did. I let him, I was like, he wants to die. He gets to die. I didn't do that. And what I, what stands out, I mean, like, I love all the permutations of that. Like, we're talking about. Yeah. Where initially when he came up, it was like, fuck you. Like, why would I trust you? You know what I mean? He's just a trap. I might get jumped by a bunch of ghosts and just see if I go do this or that. But I went and I did it and you get to that point. You get the reveal and I was like, I'm not going to put the gland in. But what I loved about it then was obviously the end of, hey, drink with me. Don't drink with me. Whatever. But then the actual ritual itself where he was like, hey, I'm going to say a lot of shit. Don't listen to it. Oh, yeah. It's going to be bad and I'm going to beg you to stop. Don't let me stop or everything. All right. Cool. How back it'd be. And then like the way he's screaming, we're back to like the acting of it, right? It's like holy shit. Like the end of this ritual going, kill me, call and kill me. And I selected the option of like, no, you got this.

36:52You could do this. Yeah. And finally, he's like, thank you for not killing me. I know. I said a lot of things. I said a lot of things. I said a lot of things. It's a crazy shit. But that's like, that was one of those cyclists. I'm like, oh my god. Yeah. That what a great moment that is. And there's like at least five or six others of them that are of similar calibrate.

And we're back streaming on peacock may I present to you the award winning staff of the Toledo truth teller slightly just something loose. Yes, I like that the certified fresh series returns your boss always like that. So our is just not only this is bad oysters everybody.

41:01There's a certain satisfaction on your work with someone like we could be a family. The paper new season streaming September 9 only on peacock this show gives me a reason to laugh. I'm not giving up. I am showing the building. The final season of FX is the bear restaurant is flooded. Everything's either going to be okay. No, we're not. We are outgunned and we are out manned but we have each other. FX is the bear the final season all episodes now streaming on Disney plus. Baby we're back. One of the things in interesting conversation and chat obviously pop off if you know the answer to this. But here or back here I'm probably pronouncing it wrong. But you know it was a similar thing of oh I finally get I've pissed him off enough that I can you know fight him.

42:01His little guy shows up and is like hey if you want to fight him the only way to get him alone is going to be done in this fighting tournament and do the goddamn thing that way. You're slimy and shitty and I don't like you at all and I had talked to Jordan middler throughout this review and he had been talking to me about what for him and Zanth and I hope I'm pronouncing that right. Zanthie. Zanthie. Zanthie. Middler had been like man I just bumped into her and killed her without doing anything. She was just out in the world doing her thing and I was like oh that's interesting. And so with back here I was like okay cool I don't like your entry quest. I told that guy to shove it and I'm like I'm going to see if I can run into you later and I never could and I even did the thing where I started the quest at one point. It led me to his castle the thing pops off. I was like okay hold on quit loaded the old thing went took it to nighttime went back to the castle hoping he would just be there doing it. He wasn't I was like huh I wonder if there's a way to find him or flush him out or if this is the only avenue to actually get to him. I only I wasn't surprised about Middler mentioning that he.

43:05Pots anti because she's in the big castle. Look at the usual. She's in that big cathedral and I remember that from the early footage of the game. Yeah. And so like she's in there and that's big you know they're like you could find her here and they show off like just a little combat situation. So I knew that that was possible but I don't think you could run into anybody else at any other point in the. Yeah. And so it was just her. Fair enough and I wonder if it was just very story specific but I did all that back here the Bacchia stuff with the the tournament. Oh I did too. Yeah. Yeah. I was I was going to clear the whole court before I went in there. I was like you know my mind as Cohen I'm like I want my first chance to get in there where I can stand a chance and that was to go eliminate everybody. And I love that you know when you're doing the final run. I've done multiple endings but like whenever you're running through the building you get to the parts where it is like. St. He's going but I was still here like like you I would have fought Zanth here if I would have left her alive I would have fought her in this room right now. Oh God. Those people coming in are like oh man even though he's going we're still going to do that.

44:06Oh that's cool. I like that you can see where it would have been. That is something since you didn't invite them into your mind. Um actually the ending where you go into the other plane and you fight Brensis they help you fight him. No she didn't fight was extremely easy for me because I invited all three of them into my mind and they all three used their like op special powers to like that. In the other realm. So that that ending ended up being very easy because they were both not there in the real world and then they were all there in the other well other world and they all were getting up on him so that was very fun. Well. I didn't invite any of them into my mind but I made a truce with Zanthee. Yeah because she does the whole thing don't kill me and I can help you do the thing and so what does she do exactly because I was I even have the screenshot of like fuck you. She just shows up. She tells you I can help you get I can give you more information about what Brensis is doing underground. I can give you like more info whatever just you know don't kill my daughter don't you know and so I let her live.

45:14And then when you meet her at the castle that final sort of siege. She just they're waiting for you and lacra for me am I play through lacras with me and she's like. Damn all right cone you you know you got a little like kind of evil side to you for letting her live like I'm surprised that you let her live like shout out to you you know because lacras always doing the most shady shit out there. Oh my god she was always up. I was being a to a good two shoes of everything. Yeah. Yeah so fucking care where vampires. Yeah so and it was funny they make mention of it when we're fighting these random people in one of the rooms. Lacker goes. Damn yeah this one is sucked like we're having to fight. Zanthee's like homies or whatever but we didn't have to experience any that because you made friends with her whatever so yeah there's a lot of like cool little touches here and there. So obviously you can just watch it all but do a replay and I know just today the news is broken from some Polish YouTube video. In the interview they were doing where they have confirmed a new game plus is coming so nice eventually they weren't ready to talk anything about it but it has been confirmed.

46:17Because I still want to do a playthrough where I go in it is. Every time it says give into the hunger I give into the hunger. Just see what that would look like how would that play out if I did that you know any me and also you know fully invested vampire powers which I was all sort of sort of. Mastery sword mastery whatever they call them yeah stick with that go that way and really see how that would flush out that way. I want to talk about Volk. This is this this for me and this is one of the one you're talking about yeah I was talking to middle about this and he had no idea who was talking about. Volk of course is the blind man who it turns out as you play through worked or was a soldier alongside your father we didn't know our father well it turns out he had quite the past beforehand and Volk is this old man telling you stories of your father. And this was an early on side quest for me where I kept coming back every day to get a new thing and get a new thing and then it pays off with just great stories obviously the whole the you know he caught the pope in a sexual affair and the pope gave him a gift you find the thing you're like damn this actually is from the fucking pope yeah.

47:17I the thing I love the most about is like it. It gives us such a good background to your dad who's such a dickhead to you your dad's just always been this shut off. Asshole right and it seems like there's never been a great connection there between Cohen and his father and to. The way the mission starts off is you talking to a random NPC and he's like oh yeah I got beers delivery yeah we've been doing like beer deliveries out there and he's like my dad doesn't drink why the fuck. And he's like it can't be for my dad he's like no it's for your dad and you know who knows what he's doing out there like kind of alluded to like your dad's probably cheating on your mom or whatever probably horror out there and you go to that spot and you find out it's a dude with no eyeballs. Who and your dad's just been going to take care of him and he's an old friend of your dad's and. He's living in a cabin and he can't see so he needs help and your dad's going there to let me kind of spruce up the yard let me you know deliver food or whatever it's like damn that's such a sweet little intro and then for it to continue to evolve and for him to be probably one of my this is one of those like inconsequential NPC like side story beats where it doesn't lead into anything fan it's just great storytelling see I agree.

48:39A thousand percent but for me it was like the encapsulization of what they do here because it's a great story I was interested I was having fun and then at the end you get your dad's chest and for where I was in the game there was a great two to armor. Oh man all the quests feed into the world nothing and I get a payoff at the end that matters now of course when you start knocking off princesses guards you start getting dope ass armor so it's like then it doesn't really cheapens everything in the world but at that moment in time the way I was talking oh this is great. Yeah it's it's one of those that I would say and you know as I'm going through red dead redemption two and as I went through the Witcher 3 and the hot most hardcore hardcore fans would be in the chat and they would say you know it's like obviously I have to do missions ABC and D What else are there what other missions are there out there that aren't necessarily story important but are just really damn good to experience and this would be one of those this does it lead you to kill in a guy who's

49:42It's not one of those things. It's just really damn good story telling with fantastic writing and an awesome character Telling you stories that after again like you mentioned half the time I'm like I don't know how many how much of this story is true at all and that that one with the Pope is so damn good I'm saying yeah, I got this the Pope gave me this knife and you're like, I'm not sure I believe that is yeah I caught him cheating and and he gave me this and I've looked you there's a little writing on the on the knife there You could see and Cohen Reesie is like holy shit. You're right. Yeah, I thought you were fucking around the whole time It's just a really really great endearing side quest, I would say yeah I think too and it brings a variety to kind of the tone and pace of the game I felt like it was a very good like pace breaker when so many things are like so serious and so life or death and then you got this like Kind of nasty old man This is a little bit of a curve Telling you like the old college stories of your dad and you're like my dad was like what like that's not the person who I know And then going through that whole storyline and kind of realizing that your dad did a bunch of shitty things

50:43He killed a bunch of people and he kind of had a a Conscience of faith later on in life and that led him to where he is now and he went in with the church and was like I'm gonna put all this money that I did by killing people back into God and faith and everything and I thought that was a really fun conclusion to that as well. I love full Suspense to it What a stupid fucking Why would you give the money to church and I It's like all right you're being a little harsh here, but he's like You're a family who needs yeah help like that money could have helped you and the kids know what voluble And you're like You're making a pretty goddamn good point. Did you did you continue to Did you give money to the church later? Yeah, I did okay. Yeah, so did I what I remember the what just later on the all the way to the Yeah, later on you're you're able to continue to fund the church and he's like it's one my dad would have wanted Yeah, I forget if I ever did it or not. I can't remember very cute very cute another side one. I love please please

51:45You know I never did it What great if memory serves yeah, this is the one I talked a little bit about in the review and code where I was like there's one mission That I've pissed off all of the town now So every time it's like go back at night and I don't know where I'm going so I get there to like oh there And I'm like fucking 900 guards are attacking me. I'm like well and I'm fucking killing him no problem I'm like I can't get to the door. I can't find the door to open the door. I had to give up on it I had a hilarious moment in the town where I'm talking to NPCs I'm talking to an NPC and guards are going crazy attacking me from outside of the bar It's just like this wasn't thought out fully. Yeah, well, you know So let me just read the little please not to see your beecho the owner of a curious shop in Svartrao Isn't an ordinary man. He's a vrakir But very different than the rest of them. He's he's deeply religious cares about human friends and abstains from drinking human blood But even so I think he hates who he is or at least struggles with it

52:46You're used to get directly involved in my fight against brenses But I've heard some help nonetheless and I hope that is last and I hope that isn't his last word on the matter. So Vichot Has a really awesome side quest where He has there's some friends of his that have been killed. Okay, and he's like Cohen I've been so blood thirsty. I think it was me and I'm scared I'm really really terrified that I lost control and maybe killed them I was I was eating dinner with them one night and like Fuck I'm just really really I feel I would you know, this is just dreadful to even think about so you go and you do a lot of investigation and um you end up Getting enough evidence or whatever to find out that okay, these These people were killed by like an outside group or whatever yeah um And so you're able to this doctor. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. His oh man his doctor. Shit. Oh my god

53:50Dude holy fuck madland. Thank you for saying that Of course his doctor his dentist's doctor's whack. Okay, his dentist Vichot feels so bad about who he is. Yeah, so Vichot Um Asks his dentist to pull all of his teeth out Because he just doesn't want to be a vampire anymore. Yeah, yeah, it was dentist Very very fascinated with all of the vrachir shit. Yeah His dentist ends up putting one of his teeth into his chest. Yeah, they become a vrachir But it's one of those that doesn't go well. He doesn't become a vrachir He becomes just like one of those monstrosity. I can't. I'm not even thinking or whatever. Yeah, yeah You kill him and then you're able to go to Vichot and be like he he he was working doing experiments But the it's a fault put your tooth in his chest and he's like fuck I let him. Oh my god. I'm an idiot He put the tooth in his chest. Dude if he yeah, he probably went crazy and killed him and he just like oh my god Thank god. I fuck I I can't even I already hate myself now. I can't imagine I would have tried to live myself knowing that I killed my friends

54:53Like thank you so much for telling me this and then you find a note later on and This note that you read basically a loose of the fact that No, Vichot definitely killed them. Yeah, and you just don't break the use of it You find all these other dead bodies and they're like writing a note about oh, why wait How could you have done this to us and it's crazy? Oh, that's not even the one that I got. Oh really? I read another note that was just Them saying you have Vichot he can kind of go crazy, but he's he's coming over to dinner or whatever And it's the doctor warning It's before the doctor even turned The doctor is writing to this family or the dentist doctor whatever. Yeah I mean, that's a dog. Yeah, he's it's a letter from him to the family saying Really, I didn't know that he would he seems like such an up an upstanding man They never say the name Vichot, but in this letter. They're like I'm really really sorry to hear that you know that happened He seems like such a nice guy would have never expected that out of him

55:57And so like Vichot definitely went crazy and killed his friends and you just don't tell him You just don't break the news to him Yeah, there's more to that quest Andy if you go to the alchemist He'll he's like can you deliver this medicine to these people on this farm outside of town And I'm like sure whatever I have got the time and so I went out and delivered it and everyone at the farm is dead And you find notes that they invited Vichot there and then you're able to I believe compel one of them and it confirms that it's So I go back and I tell him I'm like dude. I know I already told you that it wasn't you I've found further evidence That it might is you actually And he's really upset obviously and you are able to either like kill him or convince him to like not die like don't kill yourself I'm gonna help you. I'm gonna source ethical blood for you and help you out through this like hard time And so that's what I ended up doing so you have to bring him blood like every couple of days or whatever So that he doesn't go crazy in the chat picked a three says that he told him and then sat with him till the sun came up

57:02And then That's crazy That's a midnight mass shit The thing the thing that I loved about my ending of that quest was like it felt very like it felt very twilight zone Feel like oh we're all good. Oh, I didn't kill my friends. Oh, thank god They're dead, but I'm so sad and then to get that note It felt like it felt like shutter island almost the end of shutter island just being like reading the note and going like oh damn it You did kill him, but I I'm not gonna tell you man like I can't break your game with this quest I want to call it I know it's a larger one was me high right? I mean the guy who's buried in the wall with the sword You're on oh mission for the sword you're doing the thing was this the father floreal? I think it was right where you're going down looking for a weapon that could defeat the vampires They even told about and you get there and like oh, there's the sword in the wall and you go to grab it and he burst through the fucking wall And he's crazy screaming about being betrayed. No, that was the one in that we were watching during the new Madeline where I was like What the fuck is this yeah, what fight is this? I Jordan was like, oh, I know what that is at the end

58:04Yeah, he can try he's a dawn walker. I think this is the first time in my gameplay. We heard about Shit what I the anchors the anchors the the fucking vampire Bruhaha the big guy the big guys that at the end what Who oh, he just an ocean, but you know I'm talking about I think so at the very end of the game the guy shows up. He's a dawn walker. Yeah, let me get my fuck. Yes. Yes. Yes Uh, oh, yeah, the augers augers. Thank you. The auger's is what I'm looking for. Yeah. Yeah, I was like I don't know he's like you can trust the augers. They'll tell you. I'm like all right I don't know the fuck you're talking about and then again what I think so many times in video games movies and everything else They Beat you over the head with the thing that's supposed to be the little thing and so the mention of the auger's here And I great that I know that there I saw somebody in the chat talk about the augers being more involved in their ending than they were in mind but the mention here and then for my game nothing else all the way till the other dawn walker shows up in the post credits or the Post finale, I guess right where he comes and meets me at the cave and says there's a way to save my sister

59:05But you got to work for the augers like it's such an Avengers moment for a thing I've never even heard about in my playthrough I know people knew more about it than I did, but I was like damn this is really cool I'm glad that it is like leaving me on such a we finished this story, but there's clearly so much more to go and yeah The auger initiative you know, I patch on Even though I was like Cohen how fucking stupid are you think you can't look at his eyes and know that he's a don't yeah Yeah, I was just saying there's there's just such good world building that it does feel like you know that there's a lot of other things happening outside of your valley And I think that that makes me feel so much invested in where the story is gonna go because yeah I don't feel like everything that's happening here is everything that's happening in the world, which I think can sometimes feel rare Yeah, for sure I mean when and I forget the vamp of the dawn walker who shows up in the game But the dawn walker who shows up at the end of the game and being like He's like we want to take care of this eventually like we were on our way to come here and take care of Brensus But you know, it's cool that you did it, but now you need to work back to it of like the powers that be in what's going on in the outside

1:00:06Let alone locker who I didn't get enough time with and I was at sex scene during this holy shit crazy Jesus Christ crazy You you find that we find a little find a little fruit in a cave uh Some it just blooms whenever some special shit happens. He's like man, but this is I don't give a fuck about any of the notes We find this is like this is the shit go ahead take a bite and you take a bite of it and you're just like oh man You just feel like this is this is crack right now like I'm doing drugs. This is amazing and she takes and then and then she's like come over here Take a bite. Uh, you know, go ahead and you bite into her neck and then I played the dumb route But she's like you know I We could do other things right now Cohen and I played like the one other thing she's like sex Cohen It is crazy man. It was awesome good shit Uh, have it all recorded or course you don't want to lay down my screenshots with uncle there's a separate

1:01:08Arturo Tron Robo bartender super chat in earlier like I said and said like Cohen's dad I am a veteran like Cohen I lost my little brother and mother this story hit hard eight out of 10 game 10 out of 10 Experience what a great RPG. I can't wait for the follow up Again talking about all these different things in the threads and what we enjoyed I Was floored when we got to the stuff about Cohen's little brother Yes, that whole mission is crazy with the at the windmill. Did you do this with his brother who falls through the ice? No, Andy. It's so good. It's like yeah, it's one of those right. I'm trying to roll back to We're not me and midler. We're talking about it. Hold on hold on hold on because I know that I have the name in there Oh, like we always knew that like there was that one of them died. I just Wow, yeah, but there's a whole mission that has like a time loop mechanic. Yeah, do you know talking about no hole? Okay, yeah, like there's one. Yeah, where you go back in yeah Home sweet home was the quest Alan was the brother you go and

1:02:13There's all these references that start happening and then yeah you get caught in this time loop Who is it? I forget who puts them under the spell? It's the it's the magic guy who's making all of the flying creatures What's called the The gargoyle yeah, yeah, he puts Sorry going to go ahead and make them and yeah, and he when you try to Reach him to like stop him from making them for Brensus he puts you under this spell that puts you in a time loop and it brings you back to the very beginning of the game Like you're your hometown you're trying to get to your literally coming out of your room and chop the wood and talk to your family And then I'll help is you keep going through it and then you start hearing more and more of this little boys voice And all this other stuff and then yeah you get pulled off to the side and you're Communicating with your dead brother who before I guess he he would have been the second born right before Any of this happened he fell through the ice and you were just a kid Cohen and you ran back to get help, but it was too late and this is why your father's so estranged and weird on top of his veteran stuff It's why you know this is a fucked up family to begin with is you've been carrying all this guilt and like

1:03:16I'm sitting there. I'm looking at it right now. I'm sitting there Tearing up as My brother as a ghost is communicating to me and telling me about like letting letting go. It's not your fault He's like did you mean? Oh you meant to kill me? Of course I mean to kill you Well, then how can you blame yourself? Yes, it was an accident would have been like god It's insane and at the very end I forget he pops back up in some way too that I figured what it was But it caught me off guard of how rolling much I was touched but rolling beacuse as you can stain the dream too Yeah, so if you there you are in a loop and you have to go through the loop I think like two or three times you See your parents get taken over and over and killed and you have to like basically break out of the loop If you can choose not to break out of the loop and then you have the bad ending of like being stuck in this illusion Where your family is like happy, but it's not real and you're stuck in the sort of like fucked up alternate reality So fucking that's so crazy This game chaos killer x7 super chat says this is a nine out of 10 story wrapped in eight out of 10 production budget

1:04:20The main thing I need them to do is very up quest design too many combat slugs in the later half Yeah, I ended up dropping the difficulty just a seam rule to go a little bit faster yeah And I've done that and I noticed myself doing that in a games where I'm like all right Little bullet spongy right here. I'm not dying. It's just I'd like to have a four yeah six-minute encounter to take three minutes or two minutes or whatever So I ended up doing that and I think that's always like a mark of a game that I'm not fully in love with the whole combat of it all And I do wish that um I do wish that they were just like more Abilities on either vampire or witchcraft side like I I wish it wasn't just all swordplay And even though you use claws ever I did use the claws a decent amount. Yeah, I guess like I wish it wasn't just all that directional Perry based stuff sure

1:05:23Because it very much felt like your turn my turn your turn my turn yeah, and I wish The yeah, I saw When I got the powers going and I was like really whipping it around I felt like and I was generating stamina so quickly not stamina You know the little activation charges so quickly. That's when I felt like it opened up and I was like I'm super powered here Yeah, I'm with you of like it's it could be redundant. I was enjoying it the whole way through though I except the dogs I had to find the dogs. I brought up like I wish that there was a A stagger or a posture meter and you know some people you know in the comments are like I he just wants everything to be a soul's like But I I like when Perry's lead to a weakening. Sure Even though the Perry's here can lead to you hitting back stronger immediately I do like all right Well, I'm gonna try to parry this whole chain of attacks And whether there's five attacks in a row if I'm able to do that I can hit that All right, now you're super weak now. Let me go for the big kill and you know if there were maybe some abilities that helped me

1:06:24You know make that critical hit stronger or whatever I would have enjoyed that a bit more, but that's why that's why I kind of fell off it reminds you a lot of my time with um With first berserker Kazan where everything was just so tanky near the end of that game. I was like all right. I'm kind of I'm kind of it's what it's worn out. It's welcome. I would say fair enough Uh Daniel superstash says great game, but I hope the sequel steps further out of the Witcher 3 shadow The music was especially distracting with its similarity Cohen rocks I the amount of times I was playing that I mean I'm like man. I feel like Cohen's a young Gare old Gare old by the way no Fuck one thing I brought up to you was I Will see if Madeline agrees with me I really just wanted to be able to Teleport to a tree and plane shift up there and then drop down on enemies some stealth stuff would be yeah Because you never really have elevation unless you're near a mountain And so you have the kill people from up top and that works when you're in like the one city of spark

1:07:27Or unless you're on like a little roof that's maybe six feet above the ground. Yeah, but there's like I always I love the moments of being able to drop down an enemy take out that dude or at least take out a big chunk of that More tanky class of enemies health for sure and I would have loved to adjust You're I kept on getting the vibes of like man if this were like predator hunting grounds It's just such an old callback. Yeah, let me tell up. Let me like you know zip up to a tree I'll be on the tree then I can jump that and then go up to another tree and I can kind of chain things together But that probably would add another you know 12 months of development time. I think next time I think next time around we're gonna yeah I would have loved a lot more verticality like you're saying only because like you are pretty much just in a field almost the entire game So it's like I think that would have helped you feel a little bit more variety in the combat too I didn't even put any perk points into the death from above thing because I'm like I'm never above anyone we're always I tie like no one is I'm never above you ever yeah If I could go to the trees or if there were more buildings around like there are those towers

1:08:29But there's never usually anybody near them like the town a glide man. Let me glide off those towers and other high stuff in the lane This will be an on people Chalk of Fox 9 superchance says did you know you can shadow step in the middle of the fight as a vampire I didn't know till the end of the game when I actually hit my trigger I noticed earlier, but it was still a fun eight eight out of 10. Yeah, that's cool to kind of like you know You pop up behind and the enemies like what the fuck hey freak yeah when I started when I was like oh man I can slow down time I unlock that perk way too late where I was like oh man I love slow down time and fucking people up. I should have done this way earlier. I wish there was a um Like a Wolverine style sent jump and pounce pool get on you know To kind of like close the gap. Yeah, in moments like that I think that would be it would have been a cool Combat ability Gary the third superchances seven out of 10 for me 50 plus crashes I can't I just can't go any higher, but excited to see what the studio does from there Some great quest interweaving truly batshit to show modern stuff. What a fucking mess on PC I played on the raise blade 16 over here. I didn't know and the steam uh, no, sorry the rog ally. I didn't have problems

1:09:33What I mean, I'm not saying that discounts it that sucks for you. I apologize. That sucks. Yeah, no, I had zero issues Uh, how's it going? I'm going says Andy. Can you tell us how the volt quest ended for you? I've had two different endings. Oh, okay. My volt quest was basically him just leaving. Yeah, I came back There was a note being like hey, I gotta go. I'm gonna piece out. Yeah, um, I left you my sword or whatever and yeah Madeline's that how I went for you? Yes, same. I gave the money to the church and then when I came back to tell him he was gone And he was like here's my stuff. Hope it helps. And I guess there had been people from the town who had heard that I was hanging out with him and so I think I don't know if he died or if he left I think we'll see him again with a yeah, I think so too. Maybe I will maybe I don't know every else to cut him left One thing I also loved was uh, just becoming homies with ocha And then anytime I ran into other people to for them to be like oh shit your ocha's guy. Yeah Like come in here whatever. So going up to that settlement that they have up in the mountains for them to be so welcoming

1:10:39Because I know ocha but there's a great comedic beat there Because I did the lacquer ending. Yeah, and I'm adventuring with lacquer to all these places And so you go up into the mountains to sort of Meet them and try to get information about is brand. I think yeah grandfather. Yep You go up to the mountains and she's like all right, you're kind of You know step aside. I know what I'm doing Cohen, you know, I'm old as shit. I've been around for centuries whatever and we get there and they're They immediately walked down and they're like oh your ocha's friend come up. You're good. Yeah, you can say she gotta go Yeah, and then no no he just says and then Cohen just kind of gives her a look like Yeah, I guess I am pretty good either as she's like oh fuck off Really great moment there Did you guys do Similar you were talking about Urashi Urashi did you did you run into the urashi in town that was begging for help with the woman who was a son her body in the night

1:11:41She was yeah, that's oh, check. Oh, wasn't I thought I was all you're right. It is it is it is From that I loved that conversation when it was over and I went with the good guy ending I forget what even what the quatch thing was but I didn't do the bad thing or whatever I blew I blew the stealth I fucked that up. It was one of those I fucked up the whatever magical you do and I came back and told Usha about it and they were they like oh they were they revealed what they were gonna do I like wait were you just gonna take over and be bad too? The new just shrugs like all right I'm rock with you. I see what's up. Yeah, I was just like I wanted to be the drug lord and exactly exactly That's one that I saved scummed because I just wanted to see what happened Yeah, yeah, spell or whatever because when the spell messed up then you go in and you just kill him Yeah, exactly but because I did the spell he You know his fucking head explodes or whatever Um, and he's yelling in just insane pain before he dies and then you go in there and he

1:12:41Ocha comes in and you look at Ocha. You're like He's gonna get messed up in the head like that's what you Look at what happened to him. You know, it's really really funny shit And then and then I told her to um I told her to do what's gonna make her happy Thanks because yeah because she was like you know they want me to go back to my clan But I'm just like I don't know like I love being out here. I love being in the city. I'm just being out I'm a city gal, you know, I love just kind of blazing my own trail. So I said go do that and she said I will I will Final super jack comes from Joshy frog high Madeline high Andy Greg Ghostbusters Roosevelt's I'm well aware today At three at what is it? It's four PM Eastern. So one PM Pacific they're dropping a Roosevelt's Ghostbusters collection It will be hard not to spend Ben's entire college fund because some of the stuff looks pretty cool And that's our spoiler cast Obviously, this is humongous game. We continue to go into a million different ways about it and all the different what I guess Did you all go back and roll different endings or did you do your ending and walk away?

1:13:44No, I had to start up. Other shit. It's like I did the ending where okay. I went in with the guy the Accrake and wiped him out, you know, I felt like we'd done the whole thing and you get there and then yeah, but you know You go find your family and okay cool. They're down here in a dungeon or wherever except the Luka you got to figure out all right and Luka then the one where I did the I come to be the one man army I'm gonna go in there and thrash the place and get in there did all of that and when it was all very similar of like I'm catching everybody off guard and killing them and then it was like well Princess rain downstairs to get something ready and I'm pretty sure this is the one where I go downstairs And it's the entire family at the banquet table There he made them all sit at a banquet table or whatever and he's fucking with them there. I thought that was really cool Then he had the parlay one He brings your dad and like you know fucking you don't fuck me up I'm not gonna fuck up your dad or whatever and then I he ends up fucking up your dad at the end I probably cuz I fall all day after him or some shit like a lot of fun permutations of all that and then of course give me to the end every talk to their mom I assumed and mom's talked everybody. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, that was that was a sweet little moment

1:14:45But that's where I would have killed her. Which is just crazy if she wasn't alive like I know right? You used their dad's like I hate life. Yeah, fucking sucks everybody When your sister at the end Everyone got the cave ending with your sister with Luka and she's a vampire right? Is anybody else in the cave with you? Yeah, it was a Vichot and lacra Oh, no, yes. Yeah, I only I only ever had the other don walk and then the auger showed up. Yeah. Yeah Interesting because yeah, I just had Vichot, but because I missed lacra she wasn't there So and then Greg you didn't have anybody. No, yeah, I was all them Interesting what a game excited for the future excited for updates, you know, we keep talking about Obviously the Witcher 3 being about to drop with this remaster whatever reverb whatever they're calling it I think the Witcher, you know, updated over time for so long I'll be interested how rebel will support this again Today new game plus is confirmed. I'll be interested to see what they add over time. Hopefully we get some DLC But hopefully they get to work on the next game because I want to see where Cohen's stories going the banger

1:15:49Everybody know how old is Anka I don't do. Don't get me started. I'm 20 years older than you coming Yeah, she's like 40 and it's so like what's crazy about all that is like My initial thought was You know, I'm so old going. I'm so old. I'm you know, I'm just an old hagg Yeah, yeah, yeah, and She doesn't look it add some white hair at some white hair to her You know if you want to like, you know fake that age, but throughout all that I go I bet you she's like a thousand year old witch. Yeah, she's doing a lot of that stuff Yeah, because then for the fact of him would be like quit saying you're old. You're not old I thought we were gonna get a big revelation of like no, I've been here for centuries Cohen. Nope. She's just 40 Yeah, I liked all the none stuff with them too. We don't have to get into it But like the not and then I like that. I thought that was such a Okay, cool ending in that or I'm sorry

1:16:50Quest yeah, and then at the ending when it gives you a little like pant you know die ram as it brought it up I was like oh shit. I didn't think about that. My knowns are still torturing these people I didn't handle that situation correctly at all very later on to talk to one of the Really really old ladies in town.
