I 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:06.520 haven't played it yet because I've been playing a five 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.080 dollar cozy game that has overtaken my life, which I 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.400 will also talk about.

This game 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.200 gives us more story background and is of course to 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:40.360 focus on Zelda. Confirmed Zelda can use a sword, and 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.560 I think this looks really really fun and I absolutely 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.920 will be playing. It is hues to the kind of 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:52.440 classic like the original Nintendo and Super Nintendo, top down 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:56.600 visual style of the original Legend of Zel games, and 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.200 this looks like a really fun throwback. 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:02.160 I love puzzle solving, I love combat. This is fun 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:06.240 to play Zelda in a mainline Zelda game, and I think, like, 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.360 you know, we got the automatons to kind of help 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.720 Zelda fight. We got a dark Link type figure, which 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:15.960 I always love those kind of things. Yeah, it's available 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.240 way sooner than expected, at the end of this month, 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:23.520 twenty sixth of Setember on the Nintendo Switch. So yeah, 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:27.200 I am very excited to play that game because I 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.720 love Zelda and I love cute things, and this is both. 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:35.640 Next up for the sweats Call of Duty Black Ops 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:40.280 six Sweatier than Ever coming October twenty fifth and the 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.720 betas out now and folks, there's a new mechanic, new 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:51.000 movement mechanic called omni movement, which allows players who have 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.720 all of their fast twitch ability still intact because they 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:59.480 haven't aged past the age of twenty four to absolutely 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.840 bam boozle you and break your ankles and do all 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.320 sorts of crazy movements in courting, including like sliding and 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:10.560 jumping sideways like a John wu movie.

It's trade. 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.200 I will say, well, it's not. 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.120 For me, but in a time in my life it 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:35.640 would have been for me exactly. 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:39.200 And I will say, look, do I seem like someone 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:40.440 who plays call of duty? 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:40.600 Now? 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:40.720 No? 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:42.760 Have I played call of duty in the past, yes, 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.960 But I will say they do set They did sell 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.280 me because basically the idea of this is one of 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:52.760 my favorite classic action movie setups, which is like Black 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:56.960 Ops Veteran right, Yes, in his team find themselves hunted 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.200 by the military machine that created them, like the up 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.480 for like every great Schwartzenegger action movie. So you know what, 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.720 I know, maybe maybe, but will it really? Because can 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.680 you cook him black ops? Then no, I'm probably not 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.120 gonna play it. But I love that people are excited. 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.600 I'm a very excited to watch videos of other people 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:15.360 playing it looks deranged. 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.039 Next up, George R. Martin takes to his blog not 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.000 a blog and chooses violence. 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:23.640 Oh baby, it was violent? 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:28.400 Oh baby, so George, and full disclosure, I am the 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.039 co host of the official Game of the Roads. How's 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:36.000 the Dragon Pod? George R. Martin, creator of the Song 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:40.560 of Ice and Fire books, writer of those books, creator 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.520 of that world that inspired Game of Thrones and other 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:48.200 h and other projects, including House of the Dragon on HBO. 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:53.320 Max Uh teased about two weeks ago in a blog 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:58.440 that he was not looking forward to writing his next blog, 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.440 and he said his next blog would detail the things 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.760 that he feels the adaptation of his work known as 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.840 House of the Dragon nine h Beyond Max Uh got 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.800 wrong from his source material and then boy did he 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:11.160 do it? 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:11.359 He? 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.400 Then oh he did it? Then he last week took 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.400 to his blog not a blog, and detailed all the 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:20.200 things that he felt that got wrong, including the depiction 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:26.680 of the blood and cheese murder of Prince the young 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:35.279 Prince Jaharis, and other things, including delving into his understanding 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:40.080 of the of Ryan Condall's Season three outright quite shocking, 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:44.080 just quite soiling, really just like spoiling a bunch of 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:49.400 season three stuff. And then this roiled the internet for 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.440 a period of time, and then he took the blog 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.040 post down. So the blogs is down and there have 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.320 been no further developments since that time. 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:01.279 But boy, wow, this was at Wow, that was a 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:02.839 wild couple of hours. 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.800 It was a wild couple of hours. And you know, 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:12.000 it's impossible to like think about this without for me 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:16.800 looking at it through the lens of the fact that 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:23.359 George's books aren't finished, and it feels like he's dealing 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:27.640 with that through this. Yeah, because this is also a 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.720 man who has been writing for television since the early eighties. 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.480 Yeah, I mean, that's why he wrote Game of Ferns, right, 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:36.680 So he wanted to write something that people kept saying, 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:38.719 this is too expensive, you can't make this, you could 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:39.680 never put this to screen. 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:40.840 So he was like, well, I'm going to put it 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:41.640 in a book then. 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.919 So he knows how it works to a large extent 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.920 when you adapt something. And there is no even though 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:52.160 George would in a previous blog pointed to Showgun as 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.200 something that was Hey, they got it right, even though 0:06:55.200 --> 0:07:00.480 they changed, they did change. So muche there is if 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:05.159 you're looking for the adaptation from book to screen, be 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:09.679 that silver screen or television screen that is one hundred 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:11.880 percent faithful to the source of it doesn't exist. It's 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:12.840 never happened. 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:14.520 And so. 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:17.920 This read to me, and this. 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:18.520 Is just my. 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:24.600 Armchair psychoanalyzing. I think George wants more, say, and he 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:28.080 knows that he's probably not going to finish his book 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.480 series all the way, and I think he's thinking legacy now. 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:35.560 And I think because he understands Again this is just 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:39.000 my theorizing. He understands how the business works and how 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.240 things change necessarily when you adapt, and I think he 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:46.760 just wants a more I think he wants a seat 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:48.280 at the table in a way that he feels like 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.120 he's not getting and I think he was willing to 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.760 leverage his fan base to try and get it. 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.280 Yeah, that's my agree, and I think he is someone 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.600 who is perennially online. Yeah, and I think that that 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.120 blog post, which only covered the first his problems with 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.040 like the first couple of episodes, and he kind of 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:06.960 talked about how there would be more to come, which 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:08.440 I don't think will be happening. And now he took 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:12.560 the blog down. Also, it felt like he was responding 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.000 to what he had seen online and he'd seen people 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:17.760 critique it, and then he'd gone, yeah, I feel like 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.920 that too, like let me just get this out there. 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:25.000 But it did have the naivety of like somebody who 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.360 maybe didn't really perceive like you are the creator, you 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.880 are the author, but you also, in Jason's words which 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.440 I love this word, you sold it for a tremendous 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.679 amount of money. Yeah, that's I sold that the like 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.680 you sold the adaptation rights. And at some point that 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.040 means that you do give it up and you put 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.160 it out there and you allow somebody else to do 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.080 a version of your story. And this to me seemed 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:55.840 like a shortsighted choice. And I think that the blog 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.079 post being taken down and they're not being any more 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:01.520 conversation kind of speaks to how well it went. 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.920 Yeah, I do think, and I feel for George. I 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:06.800 feel for both of us, but I feel for George 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:11.800 as a guy who, like I've always said that if 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.760 George doesn't finish, he's given us so much already, and 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:20.400 that like as a person who as a creator looking 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:23.040 at his career arc as a guy who was kind 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:26.920 of like scuffling along as a kind of medium sized 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.960 career success both on TV and in his books, to 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:34.520 all of a sudden find like tremendous cultural success like 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.840 later in his career. He if he lost some momentum 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.160 in writing his books because he wanted to enjoy that. 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:45.040 I don't think there's absolutely anything wrong with that. And 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.360 I saw to your point, you know, I saw a 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:52.000 lot of comments that were some version of oh, George said, 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.600 if you ruin my story, I'm going to ruin yours. 0:09:56.040 --> 0:10:01.080 And I get that. I get that instinct and that 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.600 feeling and people who were responding that way, and I 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.520 also think it was his story. And then he did 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:10.360 sell it for a lot of money. And there's no 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:15.600 world in which when you sell something you can say 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:19.240 and leave it just the way I sold it to you, 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:23.480 because the new owners then will do stuff. And that happened. 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:27.800 The changes happened for a variety of reasons, both creative 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.760 and due to the fact that once you go out 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:34.880 of the realm of imagination and pure text fiction, you 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.360 enter a realm in which budgets happen, and they are 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.160 not unlimited, and you have to make choices. 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.480 I think it's an interesting I do think it's I 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.880 think that it may be more of a hangover from 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.120 how Game of Thrones ended when they I think the 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:52.199 cost what was in the books, because actually the show 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:56.080 has been so widely beloved. I feel like there is 0:10:56.240 --> 0:11:00.439 such a huge kind of critical appreciation of House to 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.600 the Dragon and of the choices that it's made. And 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:07.360 I feel like a lot of his kind of discomfort 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:12.040 again armchair psychoanalyzing here. I'm not on you know, friendly 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.360 terms with George or Martin. We don't have any beef. 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.480 But I've ever met him. I met him once actually, 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:18.720 but still, you know what I mean. 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:22.640 He essentially like, I feel like a lot of it 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.560 is that fear, like you said, discomfort of not finishing 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.959 the books the way that Game of Thrones ended, and 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.120 some kind of fear that this will be a similar 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:35.920 situation that he has to rectify merely but it's actually 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.840 not like it's a show that everybody's loving, Like most 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:42.000 people just think it's a really great show. Yeah. I 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.120 did see some funny comments though, where people were like, 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.480 you know what, he didn't critique. He didn't critique Alison 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.160 m Ranier being gay because that shit's just canon. 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.600 And I was like, I'll take that. I was like, 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:53.439 I love that. 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:58.400 Next up and O Tria the last song, follow up, 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.920 it will come up on it Xbox. Then now it 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:06.000 is coming out the after the developers had complained publicly 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.080 that they can't get an email back from Microsoft.

I was kind of confused to have to 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.120 say though, even though I am an entertainment journalist, I 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.359 didn't realize how many different parts. 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.719 The Emmys have. Like I feel like a lot of these, you. 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.640 Know, Nesta Carbonell winning Best Guest Actor in a Drama. 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.000 He was fantastic, by the way, But like I feel 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:34.800 like a lot of these I would have watched them, 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.120 Like they could have streamed this, they could have televised this. 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.319 I want to celebrate Shogun's wins, obviously, I'm very excited 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:44.000 to see if you know, Tad Nobosano or Hiroyuki Sonada 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.320 are gonna win when they do the televised Emmis. But 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:48.119 Creative Arts Emes, I would. 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:48.960 Be interested in watching this. 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:52.120 I feel like we have enough streaming services enough YouTube 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:54.720 type platforms now that it would be nice if we 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:58.240 could watch these below the line and also sometimes above 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:03.760 the line creatives get their you know, flowers on stage, 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.880 So I would like to see that become a possibility. 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:08.240 But love to see this for Shogun. 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.400 I'd love to see it for Bluey Samurai, which won 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.280 multiple awards as well. 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:18.360 And next up, Tim Burton's Beetlejuice sequel, the New Beetlejuice 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:26.680 Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Remember Don't Stay, He Will Appear is experiencing 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:30.120 a very very nice box office hall with over one 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.680 hundred and forty five million in global that in. 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.120 One hundred and ten domestically. 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:41.440 You love to see it, uh. Tim Burton famously doesn't 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:44.960 like casting non white actors in his films, but it 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:48.160 hasn't hurt him yet and this film looks like it 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:49.359 will be a success. 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:55.200 Jenna Ortega, he's trying to move in these on that one, 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.600 but yeah, I haven't seen it yet. I have to say, 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:02.760 as Jason, tim Burton's previous comments and has moved towards 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:06.200 like kind of nightmarish CG in his later career has 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.200 turned me off. I was a huge Timburton fan as 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.760 a kid, no surprise because I was a goth. But 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.320 I do love Jenna Otaga, I do love Catherine O'Hara, 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:15.880 I do love Winona Ryder. 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.040 And from what I have heard, it. 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:22.480 Is a very practical movie that has moved him back 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:26.920 to that production design that made Batman Batman returns Edwards 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.680 Sizahans and the original beat or just so special. 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.120 So I will be going to see it for five 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:32.960 dollars on Tuesday. 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.480 They also will be going to see it for a 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:40.080 discounted price. Here are Tim Burton's comments from a few 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.760 years back. I think a Bustle interview quote. I remember 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:44.400 back when I was a child watching The Brady Bunch 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:46.640 and they started getting all politically correct, like, okay, let's 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.880 have an Asian child and a black child. I grew 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.720 up watching blaxploitation movies, right, and I said, that's great. 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:53.960 I didn't go like, there should be more white people 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:55.720 in these movies. There's lots of. 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.760 White people in black exploitation movies, sir, and most of 0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.040 them were made by white people. 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:04.200 So according to Burton, that's when the Pretty Bunch started 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:07.120 go downhill. Is not the Brady Munch going woke. 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:12.960 Jason got Now, well, you know what, maybe if he 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.520 gets a third beat Le Juice movie, which I'm sure, 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.400 maybe I'll throw us at by once again. Or maybe 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.840 General or Tager will be telling him off and teaching 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:24.600 him how to be a better person. Not that that 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:26.680 should be on the young people, but she has been 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:28.920 wonderful on this Beat or Juice press tour. She's been 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.600 wearing fantastic Beat or Juice inspired outfits and in a 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.920 moment that went viral that I absolutely loved, she told 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:39.920 Winona Ryder to not listen to leave. You don't have 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:43.080 to take those sunglasses. I felt like that was a 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:47.000 greatly healing moment when we're Knowna's career was just absolutely 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.360 decimated by the evils of the paparazzi. So good on you, 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:51.040 jenneral O Tager. 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:51.520 I love you. 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:53.720 I hope you've got a sick back end deal and 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:56.040 that some of this box office money is coming your way. 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.160 We're about to make some money because coming up next, 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.800 we're going to jump out and talk about Star Wars Outlaws. 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:21.560 After these messages and we're back to talk about Star 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:25.639 Wars Outlaws recently released. It came out August thirtieth on Windows, 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:30.119 PS five, Xbox Series X and S published by Ubisoft. 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:35.040 Third Person Star Wars open world game set between the 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.520 events of Empire Strikes Back in Return of the Jedi. 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:40.680 You're not playing it, Rosie. 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.879 I have not played it yet because I do not 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.280 want to spend that much money on a game as 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:49.240 of yet. But I do want to pet the cute 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.000 creature Nicks. At some point. 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:51.959 I will get it. 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.399 Jason, you are playing it, I am. How does it feel? 0:17:54.920 --> 0:18:02.000 Well? Like an absolute dupe and supper for everything that 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:06.760 George Lucas has done since nineteen seventy seven and a 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:11.320 situation that continues to this very day. I paid for 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.080 whatever it was, the Ultra or Elite version of this 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:18.040 game so that I could play it fucking Tuesday night 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:23.199 ahead of day August thirty. They had my number, and 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.639 here is my take on the game. I was originally 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:28.639 quite disappointed it felt for an open world game, it 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:34.200 felt very sparsely populated and by both people and things 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:41.960 to do, and from a like gameplay, story action perspective, 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:43.919 it kind of felt like the pacing was off. Like 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:50.359 that said, having now played for many more days after 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.080 this and gotten into the you know out of the 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:58.080 kind of tutorial section and have been exploring extensively the 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.640 open world section. Having now been able to explore extensively 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:05.560 the open world section and starting to build my relationships 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:11.120 with the various organized crime factions there, here is what 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.440 I'm less disappointed. And here's what I have to say 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:17.360 about Star Wars Outlaws, and really this is the only 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:18.800 thing you need to know about it. If you have 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:21.879 not yet purchased the game. This is a game for 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:28.480 two groups. It is a game for one people who 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:34.480 are fans longtime fans of Star Wars who have not 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:40.760 ever really played video games before, or younger fans of 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:45.640 Star Wars kids who similarly have really not played video 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:53.119 games before. If this is your first open world game, congratulations. 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:55.840 This is the perfect thing for you because it will 0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:59.200 teach you about open world games. And it has enough 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.760 is enough. The fighting is good enough, the stealth is 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:07.000 fun enough. The platforming, the kind of third person uncharted 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:12.119 style platforming is like good and engaging enough, and you know, 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:17.040 there's a fun creature that is your pet, and it's perfect. 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:21.080 It's perfect in that regard. If you have like ever 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:23.760 played a Grand Theft auto game, or have ever played 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:25.960 like a Red Dead Redemption game, You're gonna be like, 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.440 what the fuck is this? This game is not for you. 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:32.720 It is for the same people that other Star Wars 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:37.920 merches for, and that is like kids and nostalgic nostalgic 0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:42.760 oldsters who have not played video games before. So in 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:44.280 that say, it's kind of fun. 0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:46.919 Also just people who want to spend time in like 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:49.600 a Star Wars world, you know, because some people are 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:54.639 not necessarily looking for that like challenging, kind of completely full, 0:20:55.320 --> 0:21:00.800 like you know, task based sit you and some people 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:03.240 just want to be like chillin doing stealth in a 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:06.040 Stall Wars world. And I think that's like definitely in 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:07.800 on Discode, we've seen a lot of people who are 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:12.840 just having fun just like wandering around doing stealth as. 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:15.640 A low stakes game. It's like excellent. I think it's 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:18.880 excellent and it and it is again if you have 0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:22.560 if you have no experience with a third person open 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.480 world game, then this is gonna be a great game 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:28.800 for you. There's lots of stuff to do, there's a 0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:36.040 pretty like everything is like the kind of basic version 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:39.159 of a mechanic that you would find in it, like 0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:42.760 another triple a open world game. The hacking is. The 0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:45.720 hacking is actually pretty interesting. It's based on like a 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:49.239 beat system, like a music system, like It'll be. You 0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:55.320 have to basically match the beat oncative like a rhythm game. 0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:58.760 You have to match the beat like on two to 0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:03.600 three consecutive like this is sorry, the lock picking mechanic 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:07.800 on several consecutive beats in order to open whatever the 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:12.119 package is. The hacking, which they call slicing, is like 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:17.360 wordle in which you select pictograms and it'll tell you 0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:22.040 if either the pictogram is not part of the hacking sequence, 0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:24.159 is part of the hacking sequence but it's in the 0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:27.040 wrong place or is perfectly placed in the right place, 0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:30.920 and then you'll have like a couple of tries based 0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:34.200 on your feedback from your first tries. So that's kind 0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:38.520 of interesting and cool. The stealth is like, you don't 0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:44.000 there's no cover system. There's no like cover fire system. 0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:48.880 You can't really peek like you can in other third 0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:52.040 person games, but like taking cover behind like a box, 0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:56.480 and like shooting at stormtroopers is fun. The action the 0:22:56.720 --> 0:23:00.520 AI is pretty fucking dumb. Like you can sneak right 0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:03.159 by somebody, you can you can tell Nick's to like 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:05.720
