 Hello everyone and welcome back to you for the Minions episode 41, the weekly show where we track some of the games that can possibly replace Paragon somewhat, replicate the experience at least. I am your host, TheMangus, joining me as always is the illustrious Mandy Mal. How you doin' Mandy? I am just as illustrious as ever. I'm doing good, I'm really excited to introduce our guest host this week, Mr. Foolish Blood Hunter. How are you? Hello. Hello. Hello. So we usually start by asking our guest host their favorite hero to play in Paragon, how they got started with Paragon, all that kind of stuff, so do tell us all the juicy details. Well first my last favorite hero is Polari and maybe Greystone, but my history is that I started on PS4 when it first came out, played legacy, played all this, played the beta and then the early access and open whatever, but I like legacy a lot better. I started, you know, getting to know how to play, it's my first MOBA. It's just, you know, you don't like top down moves and this tree cube, nobody wants to teach you anything basically. I had to learn it all on my own, play solo, but without it. Yeah, there's a lot of people's first MOBA in Paragon. Yeah, it was my first as well. And yeah, we've discussed that before, there needs to be better training in these games. I feel that at least they're in legacy, people are a little more open to teaching each other instead of yelling at each other, but yeah, any MOBA you get into instead of people instead of informing like, hey, that's maybe not the lane you want to take that hero or something like that, they'll be like, yo dumbass, why the fuck you playing that over there? And he's like, which of course makes you mad because they're being so aggressive. Just stand there and tell me if anybody's coming. I've never had that, but that's funny. Run the jungle and sit in the corner. But let's go move on to the news and updates for this week starting with ethereal. Before we get into ethereal, I want to let you guys know that their new website is up and running. This was announced after we recorded, so we'll talk more about it next week. Be sure to check it out to find out all sorts of new information about ethereal like class passives, a tropos and a ton of lore. They dropped some more voice lines whenever they played the Lea voice lines last week. So I'm going to go ahead and play those this week, but we're also going to go ahead and take a look at Kallia's voice lines, which we will do right now. When I awoke, my lands have been desolated, each pure heart is a seed that will blossom anew. The forest is a strange way of revealing your true intentions, anger, joy, sadness. It is all laid bare for me to see. Alright cool, really loving their voice lines, really digging them, really digging the voice acting especially. Mandy, what did you think of Kallia's voice lines? She sounded like, again, a perfect fit of voice to character. The voice actress did incredible, very childlike and precocious, and I especially liked the ooh, a butterfly and hi Marina, it's your best friend. She just sounded like a little girl, like a little fun loving foxy spirit type that she was like, what are they called Kitsune? There we go. See I listen to you sometimes, but yeah, she sounded good, she sounded amazing. What would you think? Oh, she made me feel young, young again, like yay, I remember this, this was the fun days when you're young, you're 16, you don't know anything, you're just like in an airhead sometimes, but it's okay, I'm just young. I like to look over, I like her look since I hadn't seen it before, but it's just, I was just listening earlier to some of the voice lines and I was like, these are kind of cute. Yeah. You know, it's just, I'm not really into young girls, but I'm like, it's just to remember that you were that age again and exciting for me. Yeah, well that's one of the things too that I wanted to bring up, like she replaced the Kaika, well I shouldn't say that, she was originally slated for the original 14 that they want to have on their roster for their Alpha, but they had to completely rework her and that's when they brought Chief of Kaika in. They were going to go and reverse that, Chief of Kaika is going out, Kali is coming back into the original 14 and if you've ever seen Kali's original artwork, she was basically in her underwear and I think they're really trying to avoid portraying her as a loli. We were discussing that term earlier, which Mandy had never heard before. So they put some more clothes on her, I think she looks a lot better with more clothes and it's more fitting for her voice because she does sound like, I mean she's supposed to be thousands of years old, but she does look and sound like a precocious, I think was a great word for it Mandy, just a precocious child that's on an adventure, not like in a life or death situation. She's just more about going out and climbing some trees and having some fun. So I think that was a good call on their part to completely rework her character model to make it fit a little better with her voice lines and her attitude. Yeah, I agree 100%. That was good either way. Either put more clothes on to her or make her sound older. Or make her sound older. It was like you could do either. I don't feel dirty when I play her. Yes, yes, that's that sums up exactly what I was looking for. They had to rework her so you didn't feel dirty when you were playing her. So well said, well put, well put. And then the other thing with them, the community Q and A's, I've mentioned that before that they just kind of come out of nowhere, but they do have a method for their madness. I didn't I wasn't aware of that this till this week. But whenever they do drop voice lines, that's when they're going to be doing these Q and A's where everybody can go in and interact with the developers and the development team. So yeah, if you're so say if you're sub sub sub if you're subscribed to their YouTube channel, whenever you get a notification, just go ahead head over to their Discord and there will probably be in there. And you can ask them a question, drop them a compliment. Just say, hey, whatever you want to do, you can just go ahead and interact with the developers over at Undying Games. What do you guys think? What do you guys think of that? I think it's so cool. I really used to enjoy the community corners that Epic would put out for Paragon. And I just think this is a way better version of that because it's immediate one on one. So that's like just so cool that they would take the time out to do that. And it shows that they care what the community is thinking and what they have to say and they want to answer as many questions as they can. So I think it's really cool. What's got. I'm with her. I like the community corners on Paragon. It was just something fun for somebody that was new. Yeah, I'd watch those all the damn time. Sometimes I'd watch them twice. What were they saying about this? It actually the only thing I was able to learn. And then when they finally introduced a little bit of onboarding, you know, teaching me a little. OK, but I learned that part. Give me some more dance. Because I it took me months to learn like, oh, you're supposed to hit these at the end at the last. OK, last thing. Now I was like, God, that's what last hitting. Yeah, you hear the words, but you don't really equate it to what you're supposed to be doing unless somebody tells you that's what you're supposed to be doing. Yeah, people used to yell at me all the time, push this lane or, you know, freeze that lane. I don't know what we mean. I'm not playing a war. I can't freeze this lane. Yeah, right. So almost what I said one time. But then I finally I learned. And then when I learned they it was. Model lift came out. I was like, now I got to learn different timings. Yes. It's like, oh, wait, this is actually easier now. And then I just got tired of them changing. I want these new ones to exceed because I want to play that third person mobig. But I also just got tired of them changing their core formula on paragons. Like you went from this map, people let and then you went to a smaller that all this and you went this and then you did this. And then they changed the card system the third time. I was like, give it a chance, but no. That's what broke the new car system. Yeah, that's why I was wanting these people. I was actually digging some of the core stuff and they even predecessor. But my real favorite is serial. I've always liked that since the beginning. Yeah, it's a really cool step up from from a typical mobile. Way better in smite. And it's a we've definitely seen the fruits of interacting with the community. Definitely from Omeda as well, which we're going to head into now. Smokey's always been very open and willing to field questions from the community during his streams. And it really shows in the final product. They really they take a lot of that into consideration. They don't let the community make the final decision and they make that final decision themselves. But they do allow the community to influence those decisions, which is always good to see because if you like, if you're if you're if you're creating a product, you don't want to committee tell it, you know, creating that product. You want one person to have the final say on how that product gets created. So it's good to have that community feedback, but you do need somebody to keep directing and steering steering the the game towards its final product. So. But for for Omeda for their for their news, they're going to start using the Amazon GameLift. I think it's called for servers. I'm not sure if that's the correct name for it. But anyway, they're going to be using Amazon to host their servers whenever the alpha comes back online, which is great news because during the alpha gameplay, they would often have to bring the servers down when a lot of people wanted to play simply because none of them were going to be there to monitor the servers. With this way, they could just walk away and it takes another thing off their plate. They can stay more focused on bug fixing and and testing the game themselves and not have to worry about servers. So I think that's really great news, far more important than it may look on the surface. So good for them. But did you get you get a chance to take a look at the at the alpha and all that for predecessor? Basically, only when y'all showed it. Yeah, maybe some from British. I watched Brick play it a little bit for a while. I remember, I think, weren't you streaming it once? I don't remember. Was that you streaming it or? I did stream it a little bit, which I wish I would not have. I think when you're both playing it, I think I saw a little bit of each one of them. Yeah. But I kind of liked it. I was like, well, it looks like the timing is way off. That first one I saw when they showed it. They're most like, well, y'all shouldn't have brought this out. You should know how people are. Yeah. After they started calling Anthem up a demo. It didn't do well. Yeah, we'll talk about a little more about that later on. But I don't know. I think there was a lot of fixes. They did make a lot of fixes rather quickly in the alpha. I think if they have somebody else looking after the servers, they'll be able to make those fixes even faster and get them pushed out even more quickly or so. Maybe that's great news. And as far as what they're working on, they're still working on the minions. We I know we've been saying that for like the last couple of weeks. But if you if you watch Smokey's streams, you can see that he's very quick. He's very good at what he does. He can very quickly change things about a hero's kit, how it works, implement bug fixes very quickly. The minions, the minions are kind of getting him. The minions are holding him up. And there is a lot more that goes into the minion AI than I ever thought. Mandy, you got to play a little bit, right, with the with the minions in in predecessor. You got to play test that. Yeah, last week, I think it was they invited me. They needed some people to fill a spot. They invited me to jump in on a couple of test runs, basically just testing out how is the game performing with minions on the field? There there wasn't a lot of AI programmed into them. And he basically told us at the beginning, we know they're dumb. Don't tell us that they're dumb right now. Just we need to know, are you getting any lag? Are you getting any rubber banding? Are you getting anything like that? And actually, everything was great. We we play tested both on an NA server and European server. And it was great. I mean, I thought it was I thought it went as smooth as a baby's bottom. So that was really impressive. And like you said, there's so much that goes into these minions and what they have to interact with. And just I mean, it's it's incredible if you know the nitty gritty of it, which I don't. I barely, you know, have scratched the surface of what it must take to program these minions in their AI. But yeah, it's definitely reasonable that they're going to take a little a little TLC to get them working right. So. Yeah. A lot of things he's trying to do is like the you know, when you pull a minion, it shouldn't chase you all the way across the map. It needs to de agro and then return to its original position and just getting the correct radiuses for that, like how far they should chase you, how far away out of the lane they should go and where they should return to after they de agro. It's a lot of stuff involved that he's really trying to get worked out. Then some other news from a minus three years of predecessor this week. We discovered that sometimes this month, we don't know what day is Smoky's birthday according to the Queen Elvira Smoky's wife. He's going to be a hot piece of 29 year old ass. That is the exact quote. So everybody hit up hit up his streams when you see him get on discord and just tell him congratulations this month on becoming a hot piece of 29 year old ass. Tell him we say yeah. Yeah, make sure you say Mandy and Mongoose and Jeff. It's specifically said to call you. Oh, you're right. Oh, it's been a while since I was a hot piece of 29 year old ass. It's been about what, 20 years? 20? No, that hasn't. 10 years. About 20 for me. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, if we if we were talking about resumes, then we would have 10 more years of experience. That way. We'll look at it that way. Gamers don't age. We level up. It's fine. Nice quote, Mandy. Nice. I totally stole it from the internet somewhere. Got to steal it from somewhere, right? But that's going to be it for Romeda Studios. We got nothing for made about. We got nothing for Phoenix Rising. Let's move on into the poll results. This is another one where people were pretty pissed. The comments were got a little angry, which is which it's good. It just shows that everybody's passionate about the game. Just remember, people, these these polls mean absolutely nothing to anyone ever and never will. So, you know, it was the it was Aurora versus Muriel, who whose ultimate was the most impactful. And it seems like I think people like if they in Aurora one, it was 76 percent to 24 percent. I think people would like vote on Aurora, see that she was winning and be like, cool, and move on. Now, if they wanted Muriel to win, they voted on Muriel, saw that Aurora was blowing Muriel out and like, oh, hell, no. I need to explain to these motherfuckers why Muriel was so much better. And I think there's cases to be made for both. But blood, what did you think about Aurora versus Muriel as far as the most impactful ultimate? I think it was a good decision. You know, Aurora is pretty good at, you know, getting in there and just freezing everybody real quick for her ultimate. Muriel, you have to be in danger for hers to ever even work. So that's true. Hers, it's like what is she just going to tell the port user ultimate on someone that doesn't need it when there's no reason. They're not low on health. So her ultimate was only a situation. Well, Aurora, as you could say, it was situational. But you could sometimes use it to get away, you know, sometimes and initiate, sometimes, you know, just because you panic, depressed and happened to freeze people in the air as they were jumping on you, just stuff like that. That's why I voted for Aurora. Yeah, some good points. I ended up, yeah, I ended up voting for Aurora. I do have to say, though, I'm I'm not surprised. Aurora won, but I am surprised at the margin. Yeah, yeah, I figured that Muriel would it would be a closer race than it was. But yeah, I just I kind of. I always fall back on if it's two heroes that I either didn't play much or didn't have a lot of experience playing with. It was like, which character did I get messed up by? Which which all messed me up or, I guess, in Muriel's case, helped me out or FaZe's case when she if is she in it? Is she in the no, she's. Yeah, he's got me down a long time ago. What was that impactful? I mean, it could be. Yeah, but I mean, not she or so was but the ultimate wasn't wasn't not not in the sense that we're speaking for like team fights and everything. But yeah, Aurora, I just remember getting frozen and killed so many times. So I went ahead and voted for Aurora. And I felt like I felt like it was such a strong, such a strong and useful kind of like Blood Hunter said, you could even use it to escape. You could use it to initiate. So so sorry, Muriel mains. I think I was speaking from a silver rank, so called, you know, silver rank, that's where my experience come from. I think I think a lot of it comes down to ease of use. I think Aurora's ultimate was a lot easier for everybody to use. You didn't need to be an Aurora expert to know that, hey, everybody's gathered around a whole group of friendly of enemy minions. It's time to go ahead and ultimate and do as much damage as possible. Whereas Muriel, you really had to know your Muriel. You had to be a very good Muriel player to know the best time to use a reversal of fortune. I mean, it could also be somewhat used as an escape or an engage. I mean, Muriel could ult in on somebody that's, you know, perfectly healthy. They're just they're in there up against another just, you know, one on one. Muriel could quickly turn that into a 2v1 and take them down. Or, of course, you know, if Muriel is in trouble, she could just ult to somebody to get away. But I think the good Muriel player, I think I think reversal of fortune used by a really good Muriel was more impactful than a cryosism used by an Aurora, no matter what her skill level was. However, I think it was a lot easier for everybody to use Aurora. So in the end, I do believe cryosism was the right choice here. I think it was more impactful in the game overall than Muriel. But I don't tell people what to use, what standards to use whenever they they do these vote on these polls. And it's like I said, it doesn't really matter. So it all comes down to to Muriel. You know, she used to have a knock up on her ultimate. And that was it was far more impactful than then later on, especially if you put shockwave on her. If you had Muriel with shockwave and steel with shockwave, you could just keep the entire team bouncing around until they were all dead. Sorry, after the new hard system, I only used grugs with that one move that gives me my one shot kill. Was that death stalker? What was that? It was like, that's something. Yeah, that's the only car I just did that. I didn't care if I win. I was just I just wanted to play with that card. You just wanted to kill the shit out of people. So that's going to close it out for the poll results for this week. Let's get into the highlight reel, speaking of people killing off their target before Muriel could get to him. That's going to be in the highlight. So let's go ahead and check those out now. We've got knocking the streamer here, formerly known as I am gamer. Going into the shadow. Well, he's in legacy. He goes into travel mode and gets immediately bricked out of it. That was the problem with travel mode right there. Rampage T and off of and got the red buff. And now Grim is in the party, gets this placement blast away. He's going to try and sneak around and use his cue. You can hear him saying cue, but they are just dogpiling in on him. He's got his sword up there and the wind up. He gets away with just a sliver of health. You can hear how excited he is to have actually escaped. Once again, it is travel mode. You hear the rampage rock smashing behind him. That is one asshole clincher of a play right there. Good on you for getting away. We've got James Ganko with two clips this week. Starting out with the Sparrow, the deceptively named 10 year old girl like that. We're going to start a big play here. Moving in on the red team starts the channel. The inner fire is everybody bunches up. Take somebody out immediately, takes down several. Deckard just cruises through, pins him in with the containment fence, but it's not going to be enough. Aurora, I don't know why she stepped up, but she just stepped up through her death. Murdoch steps up into the black hole, gets taken down by Sparrow. Now it's just poor little Decker left. Sparrow is going to charge in and try and take her out. She's taking tons of tower damage. She's going to have to get out. But Deckard stuck between a rock and a hard place and she gets pierced by the Sparrow for the pentakill. Kalari cleaning up the lane here, but there is a massive push from the enemy team coming straight up mid lane. She's going to slink over to the side, enter the shadow realm and see if she can deal some damage and you know she's going to. Starts off big, takes out Iggy and Scorch without breaking a sweat. Starts teeing off on Wraith. He's juicing and jiving. Muriel comes in to save him, but it's a little too late. Takes her down, takes crunch down. He tried to save her too. The death sentence comes out to pick up a fourth kill. Now Muriel is in trouble. She's trying to shield herself, trying to get away and it's not going to happen. Enter the shadow realm. Once again for that big beefy slice through the face for the pentakill. All right, guys, I hope you enjoyed the highlights this week. Now, for the topic of discussion this week, it's not really anything set in stone. We just want to talk about some of the games that we've been playing in the meantime while we're waiting for these other games to come out and just some other general stuff that I wanted to address. But let's start off with talking about some stuff that we've been playing in the interim. Something that Blood just got me into was Destiny. If you don't know, Destiny is a free download right now. I think it's just free period. Some of the other you need to unlock some of the other stuff in it. But if you want to just try Destiny out, it's completely free. I've been trying it out. Been having a lot of fun with it. Mandy, I know you used to play Destiny a lot, right? I used to play the crap out of some Destiny 2. I loved it so much. I'm not caught up. I haven't played since Forsaken. So there's a couple of expansions, DLCs that I haven't played. But I always look forward to jumping back in. And I know Destiny gets a bunch of crap from people, but I don't care. It is one of my all time favorite games and will always be. So I'm very excited that I'm excited when it first was announced that it was coming free to play on PC. I was like, well, what do I care? I have it on PS4. But now I have a chance to play with my friends that maybe only play on PC, like the man goose. So I'm excited. I'm, you know, I'm pretty good at the bow. So yeah, I mean, yeah, there you go. So I can I can get on and carry you goose anytime you want me to. I got bloodhunter to carry me. I don't know what you're going to do. You should get on PC there and play with us. Yeah, one of these days will definitely do that. The way they did it on PC is they the way they did the whole game on the with New Light called New Light is the free version. And they took the original mission that was the best mission before they fired a guy. Destiny, the original Destiny one mission that you had. They put that in the first light so people get that sense of wonder where they wake up. They just don't know what's going on. They put that there, which makes it better. And then they have like, I think they have another mission that leads you into this, too, right away, like the next. And then it leads you to this. You have to learn your that you did lose your powers and you have to learn to get them back kind of like to do in Forsaken. And then after they just put you in the tower and like, here's the tower, here's the hub. And yeah, explore. Now they did it where you don't it's not forcing you to do anything anymore. It's not like you have to finish this campaign. You have to go here. Now it's just like, here, here's all the things you can do. Now go choose. If you want to choose to do the campaign, you can just go to this vendor and start the campaign instead of doing it like it used to be. So they turned it into more of a MMO, basically an action MMO. But I've never liked those because they always low res or kind of top down almost or or a third person. But this one's actually pretty good. It keeps you involved. Yes, definitely. After the story. Yeah, I didn't expect to enjoy it so much, but it is it is pretty fun. Compared to right killer, though, compared to Paragon. Yeah, yeah. But compared to Paragon, like it is like, you know, a hero shooter kind of kind of thing, which is where Paragon was going towards. It was going towards pretty much as being a hero shooter that happened to be on a MOBA map. So, I mean, it is kind of like Paragon in that aspect. You do need to aim and and run around and you have your various class abilities. So that's kind of fun and kind of cool, and I like that. Overall, enjoyable game. I'm digging Destiny. Mandy always used to talk about it and Blood's been trying to get me to play it forever. Now it's free. I have no reason not to play it. And I tried it out and it's a good time, man. It's a good time. Good stuff. What did you play, Mandy? Did you play Hunter or what? Oh, of course. Of course, I was a Hunter. I always play Hunter. Absolutely. Actually, by my name, a blood hunter. Yeah. So any time you see my characters or my spare or my ghost, everything has a blood hunter kind of look. Yeah, they're really cool looking. You've got your shit tricked out. I'm in this beat up ass shanky ship and crappy spare. And he's like, yeah, I know, I know, I'm just jealous. Another game is speaking of other games that I've played besides Paragon. Well, since Paragon probably was a No Man's Sky got so much better this this year on their Beyond Update. I used to hate No Man's Sky. And then the Noom No Man's Sky. Now they let you pray it's actually a space. And then that first time, if you've never played No Man's Sky, the first time you go from the planet to space and then you're sitting there like, wait, no cutscene, there's no loading. It's just you can go straight up in the space and then they have it in real time. We have to go to another one, another like planet or something. But you can turn around back and just go right back down on that planet and the scale of it being a planet. And then it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger as you're going down and then you land and you can land anywhere. It's just like a game I play to relax. Did you know Paragon was my multiplayer? I was at somebody if she didn't play No Man's Sky. I played it before the update. Gosh, this was a while ago, because this was when I worked at GameStop and you could actually like check out games, basically. And then GameStop, weird flex, but OK. I'm just saying. So yeah, I just checked it out for like three days, played it. I was like, meh, not for me. But I have been watching a couple of my friends stream it not too terribly long ago, back when the big update kind of first hit. And man, I was like, I kind of want to get back into that. Like, I think it would be super fun to play with a group of friends. But also there's so much to do that it would be such a cool thing to do on your own and just go and explore and see what you can find and make your way around. Everybody can jump into like everybody gets a freighter now. Like you see the big stars destroyers in the sky. You can actually own one of those, but it costs a lot. There's a certain place in the game where you'll get one. But I want to say anything about that. But it's like you can have your friends come into your freighter and then you'll like go to the navigation place and you can decide what plant you want to go to. There's there's billions and billions and billions of actual planets you can go to literally. You can get lost in the game if you're. I still haven't finished the story and I've been playing it for a few months. Yeah, really. It's it's it's you can build your own base together. It's just it's almost like a second life if you really get into it. Plus with the beyond update, they released the VR and then they completely read the game for the VR. Which is you never played VR. That's a really good game to play VR. Crazy. That's really cool. I didn't play it. I just I saw all the negative reviews for it at the beginning and then just moved on. Yeah, it did kind of get pooped on there. Yeah, I really haven't been playing anything with any kind of regularity. I just haven't kind of. I just bought my time to one of these games come out. Really? Yeah, same here. I think the thing I've spent the most time with consistently that I tend to bounce back and forth is Red Dead Redemption 2. I was like, oh, my gosh, I was in an absolute funk with gaining. I was like, I don't know, nothing is nothing is paragon. Nothing is like I want to play this all the time. I want I think about this game outside of playing it. I was in a total funk and I don't know why I had never I didn't try Red Dead when it first came out because I'm like such a I don't know. I love cowboys and horses and stuff like that. So it's like right up my alley. But man, just like the story, the online, the game is beautiful. Every time I play it, I like stop and look at the scenery. And I'm like, this game is beautiful. And now they've had they've had a big update. They've added roles now you have different roles you can pursue. It's just it's amazing. It's another one that has had some polarizing opinions. Some people kind of poo poo on Rockstar. But I've had nothing but amazing experiences with it. And it's the the thing that I've been most consistently returning to. But like you said, Goose, I've been hopping around a lot from game to game just kind of seeing, you know, what will what's fun for a little while. So I heard someone call that game racist one because that depicted slaves and stuff like that in it. It's more towards Native Americans. There is it's like right. You know, it's that whole thing of cowboys and Indians, even though that's the incorrect term. But yeah, I mean, I like it. Yeah, I just I kind of grew up that way. And it definitely portrayed the I would say the white man as the enemy. You know, it well, actually, it did a good job of not making either side seem like the enemy. But of course, I I sided with the Native Americans. I'm like down with the white man. It looks just one more thing about that game. It looks so good in 4K. I put I had a 4K TV and I played it on my PlayStation Pro. Oh, and I was like, man, this looks so good. The snow, the aiming, the the very first scene that you're in. It's like, man, this I was sitting there not playing the game. I was looking at the scenery. Oh, I have taken so many screenshots of that game because it's just beautiful. I've only ever watched Mandy play. I've never played it before. Oh, you're missing out. You've got to play it. I'll play the original. The only other game that's good that I think my best experience with gaming just with all the, you know, I have a point system that like it has to have this, this and this and this. I had a game that just had nine out of 10 of the things that I love. And I was obsessed with this game. And that was a PlayStation exclusive. One game of the year last year. God of War, God of War. Even if you didn't like it as a kid, they changed it so much. And then that one camera system that basically keeps you in the action, it never goes to a cut scene. It just camera just kind of scrolls out or it spins around. But then when it's when the cut scenes over, the camera spins back to you and then also you're playing. Sometimes I didn't even know I was supposed to be playing or wasn't playing just because of how good the kind of like Uncharted did a little bit. But this one did it the whole time from the time from the time that it shows you on the title screen. From that moment, it never breaks away from your character or around your character unless you die in the game. Then it has to do a load. Even when you get to the end of the game and the credits start playing, the game still it never fades to black. Wow. Until you get to this one, you figure out the last little tidbit secret that hints of the next game. But I don't want to ruin that for anybody. Yeah, don't. Yeah, that's that's when I haven't touched. And honestly, like people have told me, play it, play it, play it. But I've heard it's really difficult, but there's a lot of. Difficult play on the if you play it on the easiest level, which sometimes you don't want to play on the easiest level. But if you play on the call, give me a story. The combat is still OK for new people. Or if you haven't played a game like that in a while, but that you let you experience the story, which is so good. Yeah, it's especially if you're into mythology and all that. And it's nice that they don't make you feel bad because a lot of times the easiest setting is called like a windy baby diaper boy setting. Yeah, you tell me a story. Yeah, that's that's what you're trying to do. You just want to look at the story. Yeah, being bothered with too much difficulty. I like that. Yeah, the hard, the hard one that keep people keep saying that was hard is people tried to start that game when it first came out. And it's called Give Me a God of War. That's their hardest difficulty. People started on that difficulty. So it's like, no, play the story first. I did not go well for it. Yeah, right. So that's going to close it out for this week. Plugs, foolish blood. Or do you want to plug anything? I got a Twitch channel when I don't have a constant streaming time. But if I just feel like streaming, I'll stream when something new comes out, which is Blood Hunters Legion. A little different from my main name, Twitter. I don't know. It's the same thing. That's about it. I'm all my links are on my profile in your disco. Anybody wants to hang out with me? I'm always here to play, especially Destiny. I'm here if people need help. I haven't played in a while. I haven't leveled up that much because I've been helping, I guess, Mongoose and a couple other people. I was like, it's a I don't I don't think it's a burden. I just like playing with people. Yeah. Mandy, anything to plug? Um, I kind of want to do a special plug for my stream this month because I'm going to be doing all like spooky games and I have special Halloween alerts, so we're going to play nothing but like scary, dark, gritty horror games for the entire month. And you can come scare me with the alerts. So right on. I got nothing to plug this week, so that's going to close it out. Appreciate everybody coming out, especially everybody that seems to join us every single time. I just really appreciate you guys and people that don't have time to join us every time, but you still show up. You still leave those comments. Thank you so much. And even the people that show up and just never comment because, you know, maybe they're maybe they got a little anxiety. They don't want to say anything in chat. I appreciate you too. Just I don't want to leave anybody out. Everybody that watches the show. Thank you so much. But for now, this is the four of the minions crew signing off. You guys have a good one. A man goes.
