2:55Because no sane person would do that. I mean, are you trying to drink them at 10 a.m.? I mean, I usually wait until, like, later in the day before I even... Oh, really? Yeah, because, like... It's a good kickstart. This isn't part of the yeah, by the way. I'm just like, like, come on, Tim. Like, you know. I mean, listen, if you want to go back there and take a five-hour energy to start the game. Go rummage to his desk. Also, shout out to Tim. Another not-sponsored thing. Went on a trip on Thursday to go play a game somewhere. i was like tim can i borrow them x-real glasses for the flight oh he said sure thing oh let me the x-real glasses and now the y button does work sticky sticky glasses have a little sticky man it's yeah it changed the game really and it's unfortunate you know what i mean like how much are these x-real they're five they're 500 oh i don't know if i'm down well maybe i borrow them and see because 500 that's like the price point where i'm like steam deck it's gotta be life-changing for 500 for me steam deck in my lap not having to do the fucking you know oh yeah it's so nice dude so nice hear that me on a plane with that and hades 2 forget about it forget about it i'm gonna go to tim's house do the little like is it chloroform with the white yeah with the rag yeah knock him out take his glasses and he's like they're in your bag the whole time watch you have them we gotta talk about steam next fest okay of course steam next fest comes around six times a year twice a year is it really only twice a year twice a year no way yes it's twice a year this is this has to be at least the fifth steam next fest in the last we've been over this it's because you open steam every time and it's like rpg fest where they sell rpg games on sale and then the next one would be like here's a party game uh bundle pack party or whatever and all the party games are on sale and then it's like a roguelite romania fest or whatever but those are all just sales for existing games steam next fest is twice a year and it's always for games let me tell you nobody loves fests that are not out yet nobody loves fests more than steam and the republican candidate for mayor in new york like this one that's that's a reference to the debate he was they're talking about parades oh forget about it that was hilarious it was like it dominated my feed and i had to watch every single fucking clip of like mom donnie just being like you know given always giving the straightforward answer like he's he's the smart dude in the room obviously you cut to cuomo who just copies the last answer and then cut to sleep i'm gonna be at every parade at the same time he's like i want to go to every fucking parade like who is this guy i made a joke comparing saliva to chikorita picking my pokemon this weekend yeah because like it was between total dial and uh tepik the whole time it was just like who's it gonna be and And Chikorita's just over there in the corner being like, excuse me, I thought this was a three-person debate.

5:42I thought, you know, why am I not getting this a year? Can someone photoshop the Sliwa hat onto Chikorita? Oh, that's so perfect. You see the clip where he was like, they were like asking him like, oh yeah, a lot of people don't like the hat. And he was like, well, I wear the hat in honor of like people who died like, you know, in the 80s or whatever. But if y 'all vote for me, I'll take off the hat. I was like, this motherfucker has fucking no honor. um but steam next fest happened yes i assume every steam next fest i always assume that you're checking out the games you're playing stuff my the hierarchy of my most anticipated game for the rest of the year has changed because of steam next fest when i tell you luminous arise is fucking different yeah luminous arise i was streaming it yesterday i was streaming a bunch of steam next fest games when i started playing luminous arise i went non-verbal for about 30 minutes yep it was hard to stream that game yeah hard to talk hard to talk and i just lost myself and i'd be like every 10 minutes i'd have to go i'm supposed to be entertaining you all but i'm just like i'm just i'm just mesmerized yeah it's it's incredible i tetris effect i fucking love it i think we all play tetris effect right and like that game obviously does a lot of the same things as far as what it's doing with visuals and sound and bringing all that together and like creating something that's as much of an engaging puzzle game as it is like just a work of art and experience that you're going through i feel like luminous arise takes what tetris effect did and like levels it up even further which i wasn't expecting i thought it was just gonna be more tetris effect but this is almost like better tetris effect not saying that luminous is better than tetris but you get what i mean as far as like the visuals and all that stuff the club bit was great though and thank you jumps it um was just trying to find any way to entertain so while the loud music was playing i was just like so where are you from it does feel like that yeah it feels like a rave Music is pumping.

7:34I was like, no, no, no, no. I review video games. You come here often? No, I don't play FIFA. I don't play FIFA. You know, it's just like a lot of that, you know. But yeah, the game is fantastic. Shout out to Wasper and the homie for telling me like, hey, play the demo. This thing's amazing. And because I had just played the demo for Re-Animal. I did that too. Which, fucking awesome. Yeah. Really, really good. Scary as shit. uneasy unsettling looks like it's going to be a scarier sequel to inside from the play dead devs that we never got a sequel for you know what i mean like whatever happened it was awesome i really enjoyed that experience and then was looking for uh another demo to hop on a hop onto and for the video watchers this is re-animal right here from the devs who made little nightmares one and two yep re-animal their brand new uh co-op or single player little spooky experience really really

8:30Blessing Adeoye Jr.:good looking really good looking game and also i like how dynamic the camera angles are in this game i know that's such a specific compliment to give it but i did the preview event for little nightmares 3 and that was my first time playing a little nightmares game and i thought it was really cool but you can tell that when you're playing re-animal that this is a team that's worked on the first two little nightmares and they're learning and doing things that are pushing that forward right like it doesn't feel like a it doesn't feel like a 2d platformer right right Like it feels like it is this puzzle adventure horror thing that you're going through.

9:05And so, yeah, did Skate Story as well. Oh, nice. Skate Story was cool. Skate Story, though, I had ups and downs with it where I it doesn't play the exact way I thought it was going to play, which I think is just going to make it an adjustment for me learning the game. Because you would look at this game and think that it plays like skate, I guess, as far as the control scheme. The control scheme is not like skate. You're not using the right analog stick for your ollies and tricks and stuff. instead you like hold circle to jump you like use r1 and like your shoulder buttons for modifiers for chicks and stuff and it's a weird learning curve that i couldn't i couldn't all the way get there i'm sure once i play the full game and spend more time with it i'm sure i'll get there but the compliment that i'll give this game is it does feel like what if the devs that made tetris effect made a skate game where it is so much about the audio experience the visuals like guiding you through this really curated oh we're making you feel feels just by visuals and audio and there's like story there too that gets into weird abstract shit but this is a really cool demo to experience as well this one looks fantastic need this one to hit for fantasy critic for me oh this is on your fantasy critic you know what else you need to hit for you demon school picked up demon school oh you did very threatened to take away this parking spot so i had to wow yeah wow i had to do it is uh is ninja guiding four out today i haven't seen any uh type of reviews on it good news for you all we will be reviewing it live on the gamescast today at 4 p.m because that's the embargo and we were like should we wait to review it till the next day no let's just push gamescast to 4 p.m because today's a bit of a you know we're kind of reshuffling the day yeah it's it's a more you know i'm sure y 'all are gonna pop into the kind of funny uh podcast live feed today and go where's games cast at it's at 4 p.m remember that we're gonna say it multiple times throughout the course of this episode we're gonna get questions from people in chat and i need y 'all to answer the other people in chat that came in late yes maybe pin the message but uh yeah we all you me and roger have all played and i believe beat ninja guy in four yeah i believe so yeah i know me and roger have yeah i beat it oh yeah well it's gonna

12:34Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Let's begin with what is and forever will be the Roper Report. It's time for some news. We have six stories today.

12:47A Baker's dozen. I also have a very important story to tell that I will be telling on the stream today. Oh, I'm really nervous about this story. Yeah. Yeah. I, in a rare moment, you know, Andy doesn't often take care of Lulu, but in a rare moment of need, we were out for a majority of the day on Saturday. And I was like, Hey, around five, can you take Lulu out to the backyard so she can go potty and then feed her? And that's all you need to do. We'll be back a little bit later, but we come home and he's like, I have a little adventure to tell you, but I'm going to save it for content. And I was like, Why not just tell me now?

13:30Did she escape and run free in the city? Find out today on the stream. That's the last dog you want to escape. Let me tell you, Lulu is a threat to society. I'm more scared for the world around her. Yeah, no, I'm not scared for Lulu. I'm scared for everybody else. Get out the way, guys. She just knows you're fearful of her, and that's why she bullies you, Bless. I love her. God, I love her. And there's a reason for me to be fearful of her. Here's the thing, Bless. I tried to pet her one time. If you were alone in the house with her, not a defensive growl to be seen or heard. Yeah. She only does that if Barrett or Alyssa are around.

14:07She's protective of us. So if you, like, run into her on the street and you're like, yo, what up, Lulu? With her dog walkers, she's like, I'm cool. But it's only if they're home. Yeah. When she's alone, she's just like, whatever. Chill. Let's me pick her up. You know, fucking. He, like, puts away her friend. friend group a personality goes away yes exactly god story number one xbox boss says ally x handhelds eye-watering$1 ,000 price point was set by asus because this is their hardware this is from tom

14:41Blessing Adeoye Jr.:phillips at ign xbox has addressed the rog ally x handhelds controversial$1 ,000 price point and said it had been hardware maker asus that ultimately decided how much to charge while While released as Xbox-branded devices with access to your Xbox library and Game Pass built in, the$600 ROG Ally and$1 ,000 ROG Ally X are ultimately Asus-made handhelds, and because of this, Asus set the price. That's according to Xbox president Sarah Bond, who told Variety that Asus had used its insights into the market, into the feature set, into what people want, to determine the ultimate prices of the devices, end quote.

15:21Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Despite the price, response to the Ally X in particular has been positive. IGN dubbed the device as the new handheld gaming PC to beat in our Asus ROG Ally X review, though noted that its cost was the elephant in the room. With the handhelds now available, Bond has suggested that sales of the devices, at launch at least, had not been impacted by concerns around its cost. Quote, the reaction was overwhelming demand for the device, Bond said. we sold out on the xbox store we sold really quickly at a number of place a number of other places around the world i feel really good about the value that we're giving gamers for the price based off the reception to the hardware end quote people in chat already saying shift blame mike but shift blames their bond chat the chat that's a don't don't look at me that's their hardware though don't look at their hardware they've been listening to xcast too much you know yeah look at asus blame them that's hilarious um okay so this is kind of a fascinating thing that i wouldn't have expected to hear i would have just expected like hey that's what the market calls for you know it's usually you i'm not saying that sarah bond ever said blame asus i'm saying that she's like well it's their product whatever but you know usually you still want to do the quarterback acting and go well i control all the you know i you know the responsibility lies with me and that's you know also the market that dictates blah blah blah it's kind of weird to say it without saying it and we know what she's saying i think any rational person gets that but kind of odd in a press release like it's not a great quote to see well asu that's asu's price sorry like fuck but it's like okay well you all were also like really really tied into a lot of the marketing and you all were showing this thing off and you know this is like kind of your baby as well ownership there yeah because i do read it as like just a very frank statement of like hey it's their hardware you know like i kind of get that energy especially as xbox where you're you're you're getting hit from all sides as far as pr as far as marketing as far as i'm sick of this yeah yeah i feel like you know it's that thing where so much is your fault then when something happens that's not necessarily your fault you're like hey man fuck you lose them like this one wasn't us This one wasn't us.

17:44The other ones, though. Those were us, but this one, this one right here, this is on Asus. Look at the other ROG ally. That's expensive, too. Why are we mad about that? Go buy a Legion Go. That shit's$1 ,400 or whatever. I get it. You're totally right. And it is still kind of weird to see it worded that way. And I think maybe it wasn't even worded that way necessarily. It's just the way that this quote looks on paper feels a bit of like, that's their shit. I don't know. like don't get you know you know it's not like you're totally our logo on it yeah like it's it's you know it does have our logo that we gave them permission that we like and we debuted it yeah we we you know we had it in the xbox showcase and we kind of tied it with one of the biggest indie uh games coming out this year even though it that was a really weird thing to do we had it at the press thing at pax for people to play in our microsoft headquarters yeah you know what i get it and i think at that i think at that point i would have just said you know that's the that's the that's what the hardware goes for these days that that's kind of when we talk about terrorists when we talk about processors and chipsets and all that stuff that's kind of where the price needs to be for the power that you're getting is would have been my statement but i'm not br

19:01Blessing Adeoye Jr.:and she also does close in in the final part to the statement in the article at least right uh she talks about how the when you go by the sales of the device right like it's doing well saying it outsold on uh the xbox store and they're all and she's also saying here that when you look at another number of other places around the world like the it's flying off shelves apparently um and i look at that i'm like all right cool well then maybe you did set the price point where it needs to be right like i think there's a level of from the manufacturer side hey what are our expectations for this thing i remember going back and forth with i think tim talking about how much do we expect the asus rog xbox ally x to actually sell i think i nailed that you crushed it bro how much do we actually expect that to sell to sell and i'm over here like i don't expect it to sell got to sell that much like i i'm looking at this as a conservative hey it's a partnership with us in a very particular pc manufacturer like at the end of the day this is a pc handheld with xbox branding on it what is the audience for that and how much of these are we actually going to make i look at this and i go okay well they probably like they probably set their expectations in the right place i'm very fascinated to see what the numbers are at the end of the day of how much this thing sold uh i want to bring in some super chats for you kyle aboof says writes in and says bold of you to assume that people consuming gaming news and media are rational andy i mean yeah so true that's you always kind of have to start off with that you know you have to preface every statement with that yeah it's why you always want to like whenever i talk about everything i always wish that i just had floating lower thirds everywhere oh every statement that i'm making you know like if i'm talking about difficulty in games to get people to not make fun of me and be like hey you know oh you suck again you know like just have a floating third beat sword sainishin in 12 tries yeah like you know like i always need just info so the outer context of where you're coming from i want i want gamer stats just always in front and i want it to be like watchdogs where i look at andy and then the gamer stats pop up yeah yeah yeah so like andy that stuff pops up and then blessing talks about something is like i played x amount of sonic games yeah exactly exactly or like i would it'll be x amount of sonic games i'm this my exact rank in tekken and like i don't know i need a speed run sekiro so i gonna add that as a stat because i want to do that someday hovers over and like my little like character avatar and it says uh has a cool story about what happened this weekend on the kind of funny stream oh it's a cool story pokemon it's crazy are you on are you on kfpod no oh no okay i'm really nervous about this story um let's see here more super chats we got one from raymond k hessel who says i just started yote and i don't get why uh the reviewers are hating on it which i'm gonna get back to you uh ghost was a steak dinner and people are complaining that we got another steak dinner come on y 'all learn to appreciate shit what before before you do anything before you do anything because they say reviewers are hating on it um where well that's my exact question where bear has brought up the metacritic i'm where reviewers are hating on it the lowest that i think i've seen is an eight out of ten euro gamer with a three out of five is probably the lowest that I've seen.

22:22Oh, yeah, I guess so. But that's not even hating. I'm pretty sure that's probably okay to good on their scale, which I'm not hating on anybody for saying okay to good for Ghost of Yote. Raymond, thank you for the$10 super chat. If you were a content creator like us, you would also be looking in the comments and focusing on the two negative comments. Yeah, yeah. You know, like I get it. I understand the mentality. So, you know, sometimes it just gets to you and you go, what, you know, I saw a couple of negative tweets about it or whatever, but very very largely you know widely loved video game i would say yeah i will say the street shadow chat says i think he's talking mainly about the skill up review to which i watched the skill up review i think skill up had a very fantastic review of ghost of yote here's my thing be okay with people having different fucking opinions than you you know what i mean like if you really think video games are art then you should also think it's okay for people to have their own interpretations of that art.

23:16Not everybody needs to be on the same page as far as how they take in something. Damn. 100%. Why are you watching reviews if you're mad when people review something in a different way than you would, with different opinions than you would have? Grow up. Grow up.

23:31Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Thank you for your super chat. Thank you for the money. Grow up. But thank you for the money. ZekeSpeak says, is it a slow news day because I have off-topic recs for you? It's kind of a slow news day. What's funny is that uh we news is popping i can't wait to get to we news because there's some popping shit in we news but they're mad they're mad at us exciting um calvin perez with a five dollars who suggested last week i said i had a dream and he was arrested for murder and tim said and he didn't have it in him i i saw him shoot an innocent raider live stream okay that was that was a tough one um the uh we'll get to you know arc raiders talk later on in today's show because we have some arc reader stuff to talk about but you know i'm not proud about what happened this weekend oh no a lot of stories from this weekend a lot of stories this week story number two resident evil zero remake casting seemingly found as lead actor refers to project chamber in his resume this from chris scolian at video games chronicle reports that a resident evil zero remake is in the works have been given more weight following the discovery of a possible reference to the project in an actor's resume last year dusk golem who has a history of reporting on the resident evil series claimed that remakes of resident evil zero and resident evil code veronica were in development something vgc also understands be the case now mp first has found further evidence which appears to confirm who confirm who will play one of the leads in the resident evil zero remake under the voice section in the online resume of actor john mclaren who played star lord in the video game version of marvel's guardians of the galaxy oh that dude rules mclaren refers to project chamber which he says is an upcoming triple a video game in which he'll be playing the lead role resident evil zero's main protagonist is rebecca chambers and mclaren bears a resemblance to its other playable character convict billy cohen making it possible that mclaren is playing the character in the resident evil zero remake lending further likelihood to this is mclaren's confirmation that his project chamber work was done at beyond capture studios a casting and capturing studio which specializes in video games beyond capture studios previously undertook casting performance capture and motion capture work for the resident evil 4 remake and its separate ways dlc making it likely that capcom would be using its services again for future resident evil remakes I feel like we're doing a little bit of reaching, but I believe it.

26:03I mean, it's not like Capcom doesn't have a resume for remaking their old classics. Exactly. Resident Evil is one that I am extremely unfamiliar with. Was that like a GameCube exclusive, I believe? Ooh. Resident Evil Zero. I can look it up. because I just don't quite recall the...

26:28Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I think you're right. It originally, I believe, came out on GameCube, but then later on came to PS4 and other things. I have it listed here on PS3s. Yeah, chat says yes for GameCube. Yeah, the trailer I was showing was when it launched. Was that part of the Capcom 5 chat? It was the Capcom 5, right? Wasn't that like five exclusive games coming to GameCube? Did they take on the Yotei 6? there's yotei 6 the copcom 5 the elite 4 the big 3 that's good uh the fucking uh i got nothing for you terrible twos terrible twos there's terrible twos and the one dynamic duo says someone in the chat dynamic duo that's a good one no but you need the number you can't just say duo yeah and i feel like you need to have like who is the dynamic duo you know what i mean like all those that i listed are referring to specific things and the one is the movie with uh jet lee oh that's good i like that i like that I'm looking up the Capcom 5.

27:23Number one, two is not a number, three nobody remembers. Remember that one? No. You don't remember that song? No. I am number one, two is not a number, three nobody remembers. Oh. Nelly? Oh. Wait, maybe I do. You don't sound like Nelly. He's doing it very okay. Yeah. He's not doing it justice. When you say Nelly, now I can hear it. Okay, like what? You want me to fucking try to... I get animated. Try to... You know, Nelly's not that chill. Because that's that one song. Nelly's not that chill. Yeah, Nelly's like, you know, he gets up there. Thank you, Guitar By Jensen. I thought Andy nailed it.

28:04Yeah, exactly.

28:05Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I'm looking at the Capcom 5 here. But when I click in Capcom 5, I only see four games for all the Capcom 5 stuff. Did the fifth game never come out, Chad? But I see Beautiful Joe. Pretty sure they made a Resident Evil 4. Killer 7 Product number PN03 is that one of them I've never heard of that game And then Beautiful Joe 2 is that the Capcom 5 One got cancelled Okay one of them got cancelled Dead Venus never cancelled Hero of Time said something really funny in chat Just created on accuracy not musical ability You know what fair Okay back to the story What story were we on Capcom Oh Resident Evil Zero Resident Evil Zero.

28:50Does that excite you? If you see Resident Evil Zero remake get announced? The only reason I would say yes is because of where that software is tied to and stuck on and held back by. You know what I mean? I will say I do believe that there have been remasters. You can play it on PS4, which means you can play it on PS5. Oh, shit. Word. Okay. I didn't know that. Yeah, it's been ported, I guess. Okay. Well, damn. but also like i here's my thing is that is that why the footage was looking so damn clear i was like damn this is like a pc yeah that was the ps4 like somebody like you know fucking pirated on pc or something like what i will say is that capcom hasn't really missed with the resident evil remix like i feel like the only one that i'll kind of call a miss but also i wouldn't even say it's a miss is a resident evil remake three or resident evil three i mean yeah and that's like i think that's just them doing what they could with what they had that felt like a side project they're like hey we have a free weekend you know what I mean yeah but but quality wise obviously the visually looks stunning it was it added the dodge which is really really nice like I that's one that I haven't fully played through but I yeah I think we also just maybe think that because Resident Evil 3 is a shorter game in scale and it's not quite as grandiose as 2 or 4 is it's kind of like the little awkward uh middle child you know um but yeah i think a zero remake i think any of these remakes with what capcom can do quality wise knowing that capcom seal of approval like it's a pretty high bar for what these remakes are yeah i think it could be really really awesome to see those characters reimagined and how they would look nowadays yeah you know i'm i'm i'm pro remake in general i'm gonna go my presidential run 2026 okay all right we're doing it early 2026 i think will be the year of me evangelizing remix and preaching the good gospel about remix okay i thought 2026 was uh what was tactical tactical yeah but then you know the more i say i'm not a voter i'm not yeah i can have multiple platforms here yeah if mom donnie can do it yeah yeah yeah we're running out on everything we're running on everything i think that could be really really neat um but i i also do really like the voice actor who was john mclaren who was star lord i thought he had an awesome performance so that could be a really cool little combination there also i mean i guess that means new vo which is exciting i know i'm sure i assume that's not a new thing for these capcom remakes but no yeah but like that signifies that it's more than just like a remaster or anything right you're going in and you're actually making this align with what your other remakes look like which i think is exciting yeah but zero was also in the like zero was still a similar to three and two like a fixed camera right oh probably i'm pretty sure so yeah that i mean to get the massive shift to third person would be awesome like i think that's a massive dub to see it get the same treatment that two and well four didn't get it but the same treatment that two and three got could be really cool you know what else is a massive dub subscribing

36:25Blessing Adeoye Jr.:no i don't remember that thinking about her thinking about me oh that's a nelly song yeah It came out later though Was it in his country era? Yes It was like 08 That's where he lost me It was only just a dream Middle school was Middle school was like Nelly Creed and Jay-Z I was very diverse My music tastes Blink-182 as well You know You're like Underground king over here Like I With arms wide open Hit necks on the track And it'd be fucking Andele, andele Mama Yeah, yeah Oh, oh What's Oh, no, no That was a song right there. Very, very diverse thoughts. Story number three. Ark Raiders is already the biggest extraction shooter ever on Steam, and it's not even out yet.

37:09Blessing Adeoye Jr.:This is Wesley Yenpool at IGN. Ark Raiders has ended its Server Slam playtest with a big peak concurrent player number on Steam, suggesting a strong launch is ahead. The open Server Slam ran over the weekend on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PS5, and Xbox Series X and S. It offered the final chance to play Embark Studios' extraction shooter ahead of its October 30th release date. On Steam, Arc Raiders hit a peak concurrent player count of 189 ,668, making it one of the most played games on Valve's platform over the weekend. That's enough to make Arc Raiders the biggest extraction shooter ever on Steam.

37:47Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Escape from Tarkov might have something to say about that when it finally launches on Steam in November, however. Arc Raiders' true peak concurrent player number across all platforms will be higher than the Steam figure, but neither epic sony nor microsoft make their numbers public still 190 000 on steam for an open beta is very strong not battlefield 6 strong it's open beta peaked with more than half a million players in august but certainly strong enough to suggest arc raiders has a decent chance of making an impression on the gaming landscape at the end of the month massive so escape from tarkov isn't on Steam?

38:25Escape from Tarkov requires their own launcher. Oh, I didn't know that. It's one of them special games. Gotcha. If you... You may have been headphones on during the drama of them trying to purchase the game. Where... Wait, Valve? No, no, no. I'm sorry. Nick and Mike. Sorry. Oh, gotcha. When Nick and Mike were going to stream the game, there was a lot of... going to the website, signing up, waiting for an email confirmation, you know, sending of money. Like, it's a weird kind of concept. Sending of money? Yeah, you know, it's one of those kind of fascinating games, similar to, I'm trying to think of any other company that, like, similar to when Dark and Darker was taken off of Steam and required you to go to their website and kind of, like, download their own launcher, download their own executable file.

39:20He took kind of an obscure example they were talking about. I found it even more obscure. Obscure example to share with me. It's kind of like a dark and darker situation. Oh, yes, I know all about it. I know all about dark and dark. They got taken off of Steam. But, yeah, you basically just get emailed an.exe file by some random dude in Russia or something. That's crazy. Yeah. Somebody in chat says, like, Minecraft. Oh, yeah, Minecraft is a much better. I feel like back in the day, like, when I. Much better example. i wanted to play minecraft one time and it just got weird i was like what are we doing here let me just play the game why am i doing all these different weird things yeah buying it from the windows store and all this sort of stuff but um yeah this is i mean this is like really really big news for something like the amount of enthusiasm i've seen on not only just social media but from a lot of people who were able to play this most recent server slam along with cross play ready to rock with everybody on console playing as well it just felt like a like oh shit there's some there's a groundswell of enthusiasm and hype for this and momentum yeah and holy shit you gotta are we gotta be worried if you're a bungee dev right now are we entering into the extraction era i know we're kind of already there because everybody's trying to make an extraction shooter or whatever but i feel like it's always kind of been dominated by tarkov in a few games well i'd say it's only really been i i think because of the player unfriendliness of the genre it can feel that way now i think that um i think embark studios has kind of found some really cool happy mediums for how to we did it we did a sponsored interview with them um last week me and greg and uh talked about some really happy mediums that they found so that players don't feel like complete shit when you lose your your gear or whatever if you go out for a run but i i think the game is just i think it's really solid and and fun so far and the amount of you know running away from people communicating with people in the world getting scared i think it's like i think it's opening up a new genre for a lot of people that haven't really hopped into a genre like this especially on the console side of things yeah for people on console to go i'm just used to battle royales and the whole you know try to be the last one standing and this is a the risk reward of we gotta leave now we have no gear if we get into a fight we will lose but we have a couple of cool things that i really want to bring back for this mission we need to extract the right the hell now because the robots are going crazy and they're off on a fight right now quick now's our time to bail like there's just so many dynamic situations that happen in this video game and um and i'm just really really pumped up that more and more people kind of were awakened to it this
