Battlefield 6 is ALREADY Breaking Records - Kinda Funny Games Daily 08.11.25

23:08So we had to mess around.

23:10Blessing Adeoye Jr.:But that wasn't, this is a very short Super Chat. He doesn't need to hit the character limit. They want to see the Battle Royale. You used the number two instead of just saying T-O. And then you said C instead of C. That's what the cool kids do, though. It's not what the cool kids do. They did that in 2005. I'm reading this out loud on a talk show. And then Norman here wrote, still a chance they messed things up, but it's starting to look like they may pull off this big comeback. Mike, what are the key ways that you think they could mess up this new Battlefield? Oh, yeah. There's probably a million of them, but server stability, logging queues, cheaters are all going to be a big thing here come launch day.

23:54And I think we've seen that before with plenty of other multiplayer, really, games at the focus of all this. And it's great that we had a good time at the EA event. It's great that we're having a good time with weekend number one of the free beta. Hopefully have a great week of weekend number two at the beta. But all of this won't matter until day one. When you have to put down your card and buy this game for a full price, it better deliver and it better be ready to rock and roll. And yeah, there's a number of ways this could go horribly wrong. But hopefully, that's why you do these betas. That's why you have the server stress tests.

24:27That's why you prepare for this. So we get there. But we've said that many times with a thousand games. and sometimes it just doesn't work uh speaking of cheaters story number two cheaters are already

24:38Blessing Adeoye Jr.:spotted in battlefield 6's open beta despite secure boot requirement this is vicky blake at ign battlefield 6 isn't even out yet but cheaters have already infiltrated the open beta on pc that's the fight that's despite requiring players to enable secure boot to access the playtest and ea's own anti-cheat system javelin ea has issued a statement acknowledging the cheating occurring in Battlefield 6 and highlighting its efforts to combat it. In the post, the publisher says its existing tech has already prevented 330 ,000 attempts to cheat or tamper with anti-cheat controls. Additionally, players reported 44 ,000 instances of cheating on day one and another 60 ,000 today so far.

25:24Blessing Adeoye Jr.:EA says it'll continue to evolve its efforts to combat cheating and encourages users to continue reporting issues mike cheating in competitive first person shooters it's a tale as old as time week oh it's a week i mean it's a week move like oh yes oh yeah well week what's can you in the in the snow bike mike i guess understanding of cheating in these games can you explain it to me like i'm somebody who's just so foreign to this stuff because i've always known about cheating in this stuff but i think because maybe because i'm a console player or maybe because I don't play I'm not as like hardcore playing all the time kind of thing I don't I don't feel like I've experienced much of it or at least seeing it what's like your take on seeing cheating like this go down in these games I mean that's what kills a lot of these games bless is the frustration that it will give the general audience as they jump into lobbies and are just absolutely destroyed by hackers and cheaters and they're not having a good time right it ruins the fun and the core of these video games.

26:27That is like at step one of all of this. On the cheating side, cheaters are everywhere. Cheating will always happen. It is the revolving door of these multiplayer games that will continue to happen, right? You set up an anti-cheat. People now are encouraged to try to break that anti-cheat, to sell cheats to people, to them to go buy them and then go use them. But like there's never been a game that I can think of. There's been good ones that have done very good, but there's none that have ever like stomped out cheating to zero percent like that it's just an impossible feat that you're always ever evolving and changing and you're always battling against and you're working towards right like that is just something that these teams have to do day in and day out and figure out the answers towards some teams have done really really well with that and you've found games that have kind of squashed that and battled past that a lot of that is seen in free-to-play games where there is that like hey it's free so if i get caught cheating i can just lose that account i'll jump in with my next account and i I can cheat again, or I can just play the game that's meant to be played.

27:28When it's a$70 title, it's usually a little bit less than that when it becomes, hey, I got to pay$70 to cheat and then have all that access taken away and then reset, right? And so we're hoping for a little bit less, but it will always be there. You're never not going to see cheating. It's just a battle of the push and pull of developers creating their anti-cheat, this anti-cheat going deep into your computer software to try to get it to stop, and then evolving from that and working towards that.

27:57Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Have you ever cheated in a multiplayer game? No, I've never cheated because I'm not that smart on the computer side to download cheats and do all that. I would blow the computer up before I figured out how to properly do it. But no, I am bad enough to just admit that I suck and just have fun with it. Interesting. A lot of the things of like a lot of ways to combat cheating if you're on the console side of things, a lot of people yell, well on console you can't cheat. You can cheat on a console but it's not as like prevalent as PC gaming. So you turn off cross-play and you play console only. You have a better time.

28:29But there's always going to be a small margin of like there's a chance a cheater could be in your lobby. It's going to happen. And so a lot of people said out of this, and clearly the numbers show, there was a lot of cheating going on somehow.

28:40Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Wild. Would you say if a developer put up, let's say a barrier or a rule set, players should adhere to that. Players should adhere to those standards. Yeah, like Like how us as human beings have like put out the golden rule and we never follow the golden rule. Because like why would I treat others the way that I want to be treated? Because you mentioned like, you know, buying and selling and people kind of colluding together to get around these systems that the, you know, these admins and these. That's true. You know what? These developers. Now that you put it like that, I think about it like if it's between two consenting adults.

29:15Get the fuck out of here. Like if two consenting parties say, I want to have a cheater filled lobby.

29:19Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Rewind the last two minutes and think about Fantasy Critic. Rewind everything that fucking Mike said in the last two to four minutes. I take it all back. I'm down. He's a fucking hypocrite. All right. I'm tired of you. When you cheat, it's not just. It was Roger's fault. It's not just two adults involved, though, when you cheat. Yeah, but that was Roger. He just won my game. I had to help him. Me and you, we don't like cheaters. That's an insane number. 300 oh that's a wild number 330 000 just to roll back right yeah we just celebrated the concurrent player count being 500 000 on steam 300 000 cheaters that's insane number to be adding up yeah accounts being deleted people still playing that's crazy that's nuts um mike we're gonna move on talk a bit about diablo which i know that you're into but before we get there i want to talk to the audience about patreon.com slash kind of funny and youtube.com slash kind of funny games where you can go and get the Kind of Funny membership, which allows you to get shows ad-free.

Diablo general manager and Gears of War veteran Rod Ferguson has left Blizzard. Ferguson confirmed the news on his personal Twitter slash X account. Quote, After five years of driving the Diablo franchise forward with four big launches, it's time for me to step away from Blizzard slash Microsoft, sword in hand, and see what's next, Ferguson wrote. Quote, The teams are set up for success with an exciting slate of releases ahead. I'm incredibly proud of what we've built together and looking forward to what comes next for Diablo and for me.

34:58Blessing Adeoye Jr.:End quote. Blizzard confirmed this news to IGN today as well, but declined to offer further comment as to why Ferguson has left the company or who will run the Diablo franchise going forward. Mike, what's your immediate take on this? First part, congratulations to Rod on a great run with that Diablo team. Thank you to him and that talented, awesome development crew that really put Diablo back on the map. It's great to see Diablo back with Diablo 4 and really thriving and had an awesome run with that game. I love that. I'm so happy that it's back and like in a big way. Shout out to Rod and his team for doing a great job.

35:34Shout out to Rod for hopefully having a really fun time with that crew and part of his knowledge, maybe learning some stuff from that. So congratulations and best of luck wherever you go. It'll be exciting to see where he goes. Yeah. Right. You'd love to look at the camera and be like, Rod, like, come on back to the coalition. Let's make gears again. Right. or if you're Snowbike Mike, you'd be like, hey, why don't you go work on my favorite franchise, Big Dog, Halo, and help that team out, you know what I mean? But this is a talented dude, many years and experience in the industry. It'll be awesome to see where he goes next and what team he works with and helps.

36:08Bear, what's up? I was also, because didn't, wasn't he also one of the people who worked on Bioshock Infinite? Yes. We also just recently got those reports that Bioshock 4's development is kind of a mess right now. Maybe.

36:22Blessing Adeoye Jr.:and he goes back to Balshock. Goes to Balshock. Think about it. Everybody wants it to go back to Infinite. But yeah, this one strikes me as one of those ones where you join a team, you work there for a while, you launch the big game, and you help see the big game through that first year, first couple of years, and now it's like, alright, job is done. Do I want to keep doing, like, you know, figure out what my next project is here, or like, you know, keep ushering towards that, or you want to step away and do something else creative, right? Like, I feel like this is one of those times where in this process of where Diablo's at, it kind of makes sense.

36:57Blessing Adeoye Jr.:You know, if you wanted to leave to, like, make this the timing that you do it. It's a really interesting one, especially with, like, Rod Ferguson and some of these, like, older game developers who have been in the game for a long time, right? Of, like, hey, they've cut their teeth on X, Y, and Z development squad where they stayed for a long time. Now they kind of have the option and the flexibility to go, hey, I helped this team. We launched this game. It was a lot of fun. I want to move on to something different and keep jumping over and over, which is kind of cool to see. Yeah. Story number four, a Far Cry TV show is reportedly in development at FX.

37:27Blessing Adeoye Jr.:This is Vicky Blake at Eurogamer. A TV show based on Ubisoft's Far Cry franchise is allegedly in development at FX. Confirmation came not via a leak, but apparently from Ubisoft itself, which posted about the show on its own site before quickly redirecting it back to the main page again, albeit not quite quickly enough to have escaped the notice of Reddit. it those who managed to access the page before it was removed report rob mac formerly known as rob yeah from it's always sunny in philadelphia mythic quest welcome to rexam and holly uh from fargo and alien earth are the far cry series co-creators holly will also reportedly serve as showrunner while mac is set to star in the show oh the series will be executive produced by mac holly and jackie Khan for more better productions Michael Garcia for 26 keys productions Nick Frankel for three arts and Ubisoft's Gerard Guillemot Margaret Boykin and Austin Dill well this collaboration is really an embarrassment of riches Boykin who serves as Ubisoft film and television head of film and television content quote Far Cry is a psychological tailspin that doesn't shy away from the darkest and most absurd parts of humanity which aligns perfectly with FX's bold and fearless storytelling style end quote it's thought the show will be an anthology drama where each season will be set in a new world with a different with with a different cast of characters following the video game franchise's signature standalone storytelling format mike a far cry anthology tv series you into it when i read this at 9 0 5 a.m with you this morning i was not into it Then at about 9.45 After checking out some of the reviews For Alien Earth I was like you know what FX They're kind of cooking over there Maybe I'm into it And now that you read Rob Mack is on the squad I'm really into this Bless This is one that I would smash I wouldn't pass I'm not cutting this one Bless I'm keeping this one You had me at Rob Mack Because I mean to him Bear you love Myth of Quest 2 oh yeah yes um mike did you watch mythic quest i did i watched all of it oh okay yeah we're all lovers here right mythic quest such a good fucking show and it saddened me that it was canceled but also i was like yeah i could have seen the company like that felt like it was gonna happen at some point uh the fact that they got so many episodes that it did i'm very happy about um but rob mac worked on that series as well started it and who did he collaborate for with for that series ubisoft ubisoft had a big hand in mythic quest and like a lot of the game assets i believe maybe if not all the game assets uh in that show were partnered and developed by ubisoft um and so to see rob mac and ubisoft continue to shake hands and work together i think honestly rob mac might be one of the best things ub has going for it right now so let's fast forward now it's been green lit we're setting it all up we're ready to rock and roll season one where does season one of a far cry tv show have to take place boss it has to it's got to be on an island it's got to be on an island I think you have to have, I mean, you get the same actor that played Vos in the game.

40:33Blessing Adeoye Jr.:He's so good. He's great. He plays Scorpion, doesn't he? Well, that's not why we say he's also in Better Call Saul. He was like one of the best characters. But for reference, he's that guy, right? Yeah, he is also Scorpion. We'll see how that happens. From Homecoming. Yeah. Remember those five seconds? For those five seconds. But yeah, you have him. He's an actor. He's doing live action as well. And I would love to see him reprise that role. i think you get rob mac yeah in the main character seat that see the thing i wonder about this is the part where i'm like i'm really fascinated to see because they talk about it right they say far cry is a psychological tailspin that doesn't shy away from the darkest and most absurd parts of humanity which aligns perfectly with fx rob mac i believe is best when he's being a goofball i think he's best when he's being funny i like him as a comedic actor and if this show tries to be serious and earnest, I don't know.

41:32Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I don't know if Rob Mack is the guy to sell me on that. But you had some moments in Mythic Quest where you bought into his character, you bought into his story. He had some down-to-earth heartwarming stories and heartbreaking stories in that. But all in an over-the-top way. I get it, but put it in there of you'll still have the comedy, you'll still have the fun, but now with a little bit of you know a little bit more darkness and that's what i hope they that they're leaning into when they say most absurd parts of humanity i hope that is them being like hey we want to combine what our talents are right you have a rob mac that can be absurd that can be funny that can be all this but we also want to make it fucked up because far cry is also great when it's being fucked up and so if you can combine those two dark things and have like even if it's not the the boss actor if you can have if rob mac is in this protagonist role if you can have the antagonist be something that be somebody that is uh willing to match that energy but on like a dark and fucked up side where rob mac is like fuck i'm trapped on this island and then the antagonist is like we're gonna fucking kill you like i think that is um a recipe for what could be gold um that then leads me to be very interested in this anthology part of it i think that's what that's the part where i'm like okay that's true to the series but also i think that's a tough sell for me a little bit oh if like the connective tissue between the anthology tv series of far cry is the fact that all right you're always trapped in either an island or a a wilderness or like some kind of like you're trapped with a narcissist who's trying to kill you like is that what every season is going to be i'm just fascinated to see what that ends up being yeah i let's see let's get to season one you know what i mean sure like sure you got to get through season one without this being canceled but yeah you are right blessed like how do you do that and i think the exciting part is as far cry fans you love that of like every far cry is different but at the same time the same so you know what you're getting into and i would love to have different stories being told what's the we see that in a lot of series right now with different hbo shows as well doing something similar what's the connective tissue you would say between the far cry games like story-wise not because gameplay wise first person shooter yeah you're doing some hunting open world exploring batshit antagonists batshit antagonists is like the one thing where I'm like okay this is what they all have in common are you using are you truly using the same characters from the game no like are you really bringing Vos into this well Vos I think yes I think Vos is a smart way to like start it off and I think from there maybe you do some original stuff you're not going Far Cry 4 guy on him maybe you do well Far Cry 6 you had you had our guy john carlo john carlo there's that's why i was thinking that during the ad during the ad break mike was trying to remember a name of a person we played magic with and he said gene carlo and we're like that's not his name i'm thinking of him that's not his name at all um but yeah john carlo like that's my thing is i i i think the main characters you don't really need to be true to because like i don't i feel like it's the villains that really stand out and that are important you don't remember the far cry three main characters name i remember the far cry theme main character sucking i remember people i remember people not liking the far cry three main character that much so yeah just i mean rob mack honestly is a great choice to replace that yeah yeah i can't wait i i really want to see how this comes together also why not bring in the family from far cry 5 and great time to do it oh for sure oh yeah that's my thing yeah That religious cult in the middle of America?

45:03Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I guess that is how... I guess, you know what? I've now been sold on the anthology thing. Because, like, yeah, if you just base it around, like, every season is a different Far Cry villain, then you got something. Because, yeah, you have Vos, you have Troy Baker in 4, you have the family from 5, you have Giancarlo Esposito from 6. Yeah. What if they do Far Cry Primal? Far Cry 5, underrated. Far Cry... Here's the thing. Far Cry Primal, I think he... Maybe. I'm not coming it out because here's the thing. I can see them doing Blood Dragon. I think they're specials. I don't think they're full seasons.

45:37Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I think these are like in between a season. You do an episode. You do a Blood Dragon episode. If you did a Blood Dragon episode, I'd be there. I'd be so fucking there. Okay. And a Far Cry Primal one. Yeah, dude. What was the other one? Didn't they have one after five twins? Yeah, it was. That was the one that Nick played. And it's like kind of. New Dawn. Yeah. It's kind of a sequel to Far Cry 5. Yeah. because things happen at the end of that yeah things happen at the end of far cry 5 which like fucking heavy man it was crazy like crazy ending of a game um somebody puts breaking in here and i don't know if i want to talk about this oh okay

46:21Blessing Adeoye Jr.:it's an instagram post from a shirtless greg miller with the championship the kind of funny world championship and then also he's holding a new trophy uh he writes in the instagram caption happy monday for the man who led team blue to its third straight championship and as of friday won the nick scarpino game showdown invitational tournament honestly the most dominant run in kind of funny game showdown history and there's no sign of it stopping anytime soon wow any hashtags hashtag kind of funny which i don't think you need a hashtag that hashtag game showdown again i don't know if those hashtags are helping uh hashtag tim sucks and then hashtag gary gary Wittable Wit.

46:58Blessing Adeoye Jr.:We had a blue it. Blue. Oh, Gary. No, wit. Gary Wittable. Blue it. I said, I said Gary Wittable Wit. Yeah. You got to capitalize, you know. Intercapped. It's a hashtag thing. It's a hashtag thing. Yeah. I got a slack from Greg saying, feel free to tell them that I said you had to insert it as breaking news. It's just fucked up that they didn't congratulate me in housekeeping. Yeah. See, I didn't know he won. See, whatever happened to not spoiling things, you know. It's past the weekend. It's Monday. It premieres Friday. Is that the hard rule kind of funny? It's been three days. It's a 30-minute episode of Conch.

47:32Every Monday we reset. If you haven't caught up on anything, guess what? Anything that's ever happened, Monday's the day.

47:38Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Here's the exact updated MCU list, all right? Are you guys ready? Number one. Jesus Christ. Story number five. Take-Two Head admits Civ 7 is off to a slow start. This is Joseph Allen at TechRaptor. Take-Two Head Strauss Zelnik has admitted that Civ 7, the latest game in the long-running Civ strategy series, is off to a slow start, but he's confident that 2K and Firaxis can turn the game's fortunes around. Speaking of IGN, Zelnik acknowledged that Civilization VII's beginnings haven't exactly been auspicious, and that the development team has had to, quote, make changes to the game's initial release version.

48:17Blessing Adeoye Jr.:He's likely referring to the fact that when Civ VII launched, it was met with a mixed reception from the series fan base, with common criticisms including its UI and the sweeping changes made to the game's core gameplay. 2K and Firaxis subsequently pledged to address those criticisms and to continue updating and improving the game. Despite Civ 7's slow start, Zelnik remains optimistic about the game's lifetime value, suggesting that the long-term performance of the game will make up for its less-than-ideal beginnings. He says that, quote, consumer uptake is better and better when it comes to Civ 7 and that it will eventually take its place in its Civ pantheon.

48:55Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Zelnik says the series has always been a slow burn, and so the fact that Civilization 7's initial sales have been slow doesn't mean the lifetime sales will be poor as well. Mike, were you into Civ 7 at launch? Yeah, as the Civ newbie that jumped into Civ 7 and had a really good time, when I talked to Civ veterans, that's how this goes. right they always say oh don't worry about it mike we wait till game update one the first dlc they'll fix it all it'll be a better game but everybody says at launch it's never the sieve that they want and there's a bunch of problems with it as the newbie i had a really good time but when i talked to sieve veterans this seems to be the cycle of sieve new sieve game gets announced everybody's excited new sieve game comes out the the diehard fans say it's not good enough We'll wait till the first update.

49:44The updates come out. They proceed to love it again. And it just has a nice long lifespan.

49:50Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Well, Mike, I want to see Civ7 get to the place where the audience is unanimously happy. Because if they do that, that'll be big news. Big news. But if I wanted something smaller, say the tiniest news I needed to know about, where would I go? Plus, I'd take you to our last story, the We News channel, where we cover all the small items you need to know about.

Just a head, though. Bear's not convinced that Diddy Kong is a little guy.

54:05Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I'm not. Because the other thing we were talking about with little guys, because we went all over the place just now, is kind of like that sidekick energy, like sidekick little guy as well. Yeah, little guy's got sidekick energy. Which is Diddy Kong. Diddy Kong's got little guy energy. Like, think Donkey Kong Country. Yeah. Diddy Kong is the little guy of Donkey Kong Country. It's fair.

Make sure you know. Make sure you're aware. Kuma Babam writes in and says, y 'all should watch FX Fargo series. They have an interesting way of doing an anthology series that connects that I think can work for Far Cry. You ever watch Fargo? No. My mom loves Fargo. I know people love Fargo. I watched a couple episodes with it, but I never have.

56:49Fargo season one, like, fucking tops. Yeah, people like that.

56:54Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Maybe I'll watch Fargo. I like what FX be cooking. They cook some good stuff. They cook good stuff. Yeah. Atlanta, Dave, Rami. It's Alien Earth for me. I'm watching Alien. You're watching Alien Earth? Well, when that comes out, yeah, yeah. We're a couple days away. About to go down. Was it on the show that I said King of the Hill, or was that before the show? I think that was before the show. You were watching King of the Hill. I don't know what channel that's on, but I've been watching it on Hulu. And let me tell you. It's not really a channel anymore. Because that was a Fox show. I keep thinking it's Adult Swim, but that's because it was syndicated or whatever.

57:24Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Good show. You've been watching the new Always Sunny? No, I don't keep up with new It's Always Sunny. Yeah? Oh, I love It's Always Sunny. Yeah, yeah. I didn't like the Ireland season that they had, which was like the last one of the season before that. Yeah, they went to Ireland. I didn't love that at the end of the day. It was, you know... They had themes. Themes, yeah. Okay. Okay. I don't want to spoil it for you if you start watching. Somebody's wife died? What is going on? But the new season, we're back. We're back to what I want. Dexter Schwarzler says, let me have at it with Greg and take his title with a winky face.

57:59Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Let me have at it. Is that like a UK kind of sentence? Let me have at it. Let me have at it. Let me have at it. Let me have at it. Or is that like, oh, never mind. uh eric myers writes and it says danny mcgride as hirk would go hard futon uh says they're doing far cry 5 and rob is the villain yeah i mean rob mac as the far cry 5 villain that that casting does work yeah unfortunately like i'm not trying to say anything about rob mac could be good but it does make sense but also i don't know i want him to be a fuck i actually know it really works yeah no actually that's good casting yeah it's wild because i i want to go to the island but like yes we probably could just jump right to that yeah okay yeah okay um and then demon hacker says if they had balls they would adapt blood dragon uh there's a tv there's a show about it if you didn't know yeah there's a show made a movie show it's called um captain laser hawk called captain laser hawk a blood dragon remix uh resolute says good anti-cheat used to be as important as rollback netcode man let me tell you i love i love that we're in the area of rollback netcode when you think about rollback netcode that's what people in the multiplayer first person shooter genre think about anti-cheat yeah they want it they need it they deserve it and we got to find a way to make it good but everybody has their own everybody's trying their best we're all trying our best uh they also write in right and say you're a loser if you cheat in games nobody's impressed learn to get better at something mike what's your thoughts about that Yeah, you're a jabroni if you're cheating.

59:34Don't be cheating. You're ruining the experience for others. It's not fun to hop onto your TikTok live and see you cheating and murdering people with no skill or effort whatsoever. I don't know how you think that's fun. I don't think it's fun. Nobody watching you thinks that's fun. Yeah. You better be making a lot of money. If you're cheating, you better make a lot of money. Because you know what? You shouldn't be playing.

59:56Blessing Adeoye Jr.:If I hop into your TikTok live and you're fucking doing what do they call it? Auto aim? The auto scope or whatever? Yeah, Wall Hacks. Wall Hacks. Yeah, the honor way. And, like, you're going on to Discords, and you're talking about, oh, but it's a remake, remaster. Here's an article. And you're doing that so then you can trade for Ninja Gaiden 4. Did you read that at all? That's got to be, like, the most fun. I'm, like, insane Discord channel. Like, all those kids love those games. All those kids are rallied around Fantasy Critic and talking about games and being really, like, for real. And then here comes Mike and Roger.

1:00:29Join the Discord ping. happens like 12 hours ago and our first comments are, man, this shouldn't be, this isn't a remaster, it's a remake. I hate y 'all so much. Don't type anything else in and that's it.

1:00:41Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Todd. Boycott Activision writes in and says, the maps need more verticality. Do you think we need more verticality in Battlefield 6? Yeah, it was surprising and interesting to not see anything past like a two-story to three-story house in Battlefield 6 when you think about like verticality and like really looking up high. That's why I'm saying I think you'll see three more maps that'll be much larger in scope. I think you'll see some more downtown maps that will have people up on top of towers. But for this open beta, I think they nailed the maps that they should be showing. I think when the game comes out, yes, you should have a lot more verticality.

1:01:17There should be more zip lines. This one teases one zip line, but really doesn't have a zip line going on. Or maybe you'll see that soon in the New York map that I got to play next week and you'll see it. But there's clearly zip lines. there should be there should be taller buildings yes when you pulled out the parachute like

1:01:36Blessing Adeoye Jr.:boom on mine i was like they got parachutes in this game yeah you're right there could be more verticality there uh and then i'll bring i'll bring in this one from mick platypus who writes in and says the only thing that could tank battlefield six is an overly aggressive monetization also they need a map like wake island slash parcel storm i mean that was a fun time i i don't think you ever played that, Bless, but they had these really cool, just straight out in the ocean maps where you would jump from naval ship to naval ship. You'd have to whip mini boats or swim across to get onto the next boat.

1:02:10It was pretty cool, so shout out to that idea. The heavy monetization, that'll be a tough one to blend right there. I think we're just in the day and age of everyone's going to put a storefront up, everyone's going to charge you$5 to$15 for skins and gun charms and gun skin so like it's just gonna happen right i think it's more on the side of like they got to have new maps and game modes or just continuing to ensure that the players have something fun and fulfilling to play i don't think the heavy monetization plays a factor into killing the audience or killing the game the audience just simply won't buy it right that's all kindoffunny.com

1:02:48Blessing Adeoye Jr.:slash you're wrong is where you can write in let us know what we got wrong as we got it wrong so you can correct it for those watching later on youtube and listening later on podcast services around the globe. We have one in here from DarkTagger who writes in and says, Mythic Quest used game cutscenes and assets from other games outside of Ubisoft titles. For example, Elder Scrolls Online had some cutscenes used in Mythic Quest. That's a good one. I don't think I realized or I didn't remember that there were games that weren't Mythic Quest represented in there. But I was thinking of the original Mythic Quest assets that they had.

1:03:19Yeah, they would sometimes use, I recognize Assassin's Creed Odyssey is like some of the like transition shots from like scene to scene and stuff which i always thought was funny yeah yeah i loved whenever they would cut to a game and you try to figure out what it was if you've never seen it before it's always fun uh and then i'll try to figure out what's

1:03:36Blessing Adeoye Jr.:going on with the um 404 era that error that kebabs was mentioning because at least that one came in oh but that was the only one that came in did you block kebabs i don't even know how to Well, no, I see the 404 on my end. And here's the thing. I don't want to throw stones. Right. Because I'll fully read this slack. See, I was on Kebabs' side until Kebabs threw me under the bus. Damn. I saw that comment, Kebabs. Damn. I was on your side, Kebabs. I was riding for you. She knows how to, like, create a love-hate relationship. Where it's like, I love that Kebabs is there every day. I love how active Kebabs is in the community, right?

1:04:14Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Kebabs, like, I can always rely on her to be there. But then kebabs will put in some bullshit Fucking hit your wrong I will say that I don't know when that you're wrong came in But at 10.34 when I was getting slacks from Greg to Put in that Instagram as breaking news He did say at one point actually LOL I'll submit it to you're wrong and I said You sure I already put it in the doc and he said Oh go for it so I do wonder if Maybe Greg somehow bricked you wrong Oh that might be it I could see that Blessing really quick before we on the show while I was sick and I was at home. When I'm sick, I usually don't like to play games or do anything.

1:04:53I just lay down and just try to get off the screen, right? But I finally, as I started making the turn to 97%, you know, better, I started playing Warcraft 3, my comfort game. I just wanted to send a call out to the audience out there. If you are good at Warcraft 3 or if you like RTS games, please get with me because I would love to play more Warcraft 3. Played it for like five days straight, bless. Yeah. Wow. And the crazy part about that is very old game, reforged, really kind of split the community. People weren't really pleased with the remake, jumping onto something new, you know what I mean?

1:05:27And here's the issue. Every time I queue up for the game, it's either the same eight names that I know, or it's like a couple sprinkled in new names. And the moment we jump in, either one team will immediately quit out, and then we have to quit out and rematch make, or like one out of 10 games will finally get a good game.

1:05:45Blessing Adeoye Jr.:so if you like warcraft 3 come play with me yeah hit up mike that game we're gonna hit you up blue sky twitter instagram just find me just find him just find him and play some warcraft with mike of course this has been kind of funny games daily each and every week that we run you through the nerdy news you need to know about live on youtube twitch and on podcast services around the globe if you love what we do support us with the kind of funny membership on patreon or youtube to get all of our shows ad free watch record them live and get a daily exclusive show enjoy the games cast next where me and Tim are going to chat about what's going on with the Street Fighter movie and then kind of funny podcast after that and then the stream after that but until next time Game Daily This episode is brought to you by ChatGPT Hey, it's Bill Simmons from the Bill Simmons Podcast.
