[00:00:07] And with that, ladies and gentlemen, I want to welcome everybody to Crashing Game Night.

[00:00:12] My name is Matt DiOrio, your host as always.

[00:00:16] Joined by our major D.S. services, the man with the couch, the man, the myth, the legend, the lion's mane Jason Bellidio.

[00:00:23] How's it going guys? How's it going on the first one introduced today? That's weird. That's weird, man.

[00:00:30] Might need to go back to the old ways.

[00:00:32] No, we might need to go back to the old ways.

[00:00:34] Like, cause I'm like...

[00:00:35] I'm throwing you off, aren't I?

[00:00:37] You're just weird.

[00:00:39] You're just weird.

[00:00:41] Yeah.

[00:00:42] We got the beanie one.

[00:00:43] We got the beanie one, Gerard Barrera.

[00:00:45] How are we doing all my nerds out there? What's up boys?

[00:00:49] This, uh, uh, uh, same as, uh, every year?

[00:00:53] We're gonna vote some, uh, some games. Awesome. Can't wait.

[00:00:57] It feels weird, doesn't it, Jerry?

[00:00:58] Yeah.

[00:00:59] Alright, yeah, a little bit. It's alright.

[00:01:00] And then, the baby face won Theowalski.

[00:01:02] What's up y'all? I'm gonna keep it short, but we gotta do, uh, since we have a lot going on, but...

[00:01:07] Jerry, yes or no? Did you complete your homework?

[00:01:12] Nope.

[00:01:14] That's a no.

[00:01:15] Alright, moving on. Let's go.

[00:01:18] Damn.

[00:01:19] He still sailed.

[00:01:21] I still can't remember what it is.

[00:01:24] Well, if you watched the episode, you would have found out about it.

[00:01:29] Yeah, I know. I need to.

[00:01:30] Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah.

[00:01:32] Alright. So, Jason, we're gonna start this off strong.

[00:01:34] The reason I went first with you tonight is because it is your time of the month, sir.

[00:01:39] Oh!

[00:01:40] Ooh, even a good game.

[00:01:42] Ooh, even a good game.

[00:01:43] So, these are live as of today, uh, December 3rd.

[00:01:47] Um, so we've got It Takes Two, which, oddly enough, we're, you know, voting for the Game Awards tonight.

[00:01:54] This did win game of the year when it originally came out.

[00:01:57] You've got Aliens, Dark Descent, and then Ten-Ten.

[00:02:00] So, not a bad little, uh...

[00:02:03] Eh, that's a pretty good lineup.

[00:02:04] Yeah.

[00:02:04] I'd say a solid month.

[00:02:05] Yeah, that's a solid lineup.

[00:02:07] Yep.

[00:02:08] And this is, uh, officially today as well.

[00:02:12] That's why I want to kind of get going, because I know we're gonna talk a smidge about this too.

[00:02:15] Is, today is officially PlayStation's 30th anniversary.

[00:02:22] Mm-hmm.

[00:02:22] Mm-hmm.

[00:02:22] Oh, no.

[00:02:23] Um, so, with that, everybody got an update to the PS5s.

[00:02:29] That's right.

[00:02:31] Yeah, the startup and the sound effects.

[00:02:33] We got the OG startup.

[00:02:35] We've got, uh, themes now where it shows the PlayStation, the PS2.

[00:02:41] Ooh, we have themes?

[00:02:42] I do not.

[00:02:42] I do not.

[00:02:43] Themes and sales.

[00:02:44] Oh, my.

[00:02:45] You go up into the gear icon, and you can switch it from PlayStation 30th anniversary into PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4.

[00:02:53] Well, sound effects, yeah.

[00:02:55] No.

[00:02:55] So this is, so you switch the menu theme.

[00:02:58] Look at the menus.

[00:02:58] It's like, so right here at the top, if you're using PlayStation, it puts in the old PS1 right at the top.

[00:03:06] If you're using the PS2, it puts in the old, like, startup and everything, the PS2 background.

[00:03:11] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:03:12] But we don't actually get to use themes, though.

[00:03:15] I thought we could use themes.

[00:03:16] Oh, no.

[00:03:17] No.

[00:03:18] It's just specifically for the anniversary.

[00:03:20] Yeah.

[00:03:21] So you get the PS3 little wave there.

[00:03:25] Yep.

[00:03:25] And then, um, you get the PS4.

[00:03:28] PS4.

[00:03:29] PS4.

[00:03:29] PS4 wave, yeah.

[00:03:30] And then the 30th anniversary.

[00:03:32] Ooh, I like the 30th.

[00:03:41] Start up with the OG Sony Interactive Entertainment startup that we all know and well.

[00:03:51] From PS1.

[00:03:52] Very, very well.

[00:03:52] The startup from PS1.

[00:03:53] Yeah.

[00:03:54] Yep.

[00:03:55] That glorious orange diamond, yes.

[00:03:58] Yep.

[00:03:58] It was awesome.

[00:03:59] What you do is you go into settings system, um, or settings and then basically right there

[00:04:04] at the very, very top.

[00:04:05] Um, now in I wish that Sony would have done this like as a permanent kind of thank you,

[00:04:13] but it's only a limited time.

[00:04:15] Mm-hmm.

[00:04:15] So we're only be able to play around it for a little while and then it's going to go back

[00:04:19] to what we're used to.

[00:04:21] Um, but still it's really cool.

[00:04:24] Um, I actually booted it up, um, and showed my kids.

[00:04:27] I was like, Hey, this is what the original PlayStation sounded like when we started it up 30 years

[00:04:32] ago.

[00:04:33] Oh, wow.

[00:04:34] Yeah.

[00:04:36] So, um, they're doing a big old sale and everything, um, on the PlayStation store.

[00:04:41] Um, so yeah, it is.

[00:04:44] How do you guys feel?

[00:04:45] I mean, we've grown up with PlayStation.

[00:04:50] Feel old cause it's 30th anniversary.

[00:04:53] Yeah.

[00:04:54] Real old.

[00:04:55] That we've been, we've been alive since day one.

[00:04:58] Yeah.

[00:04:58] I was, I remember my first PlayStation.

[00:05:01] Yeah.

[00:05:02] That's the thing.

[00:05:03] I remember my first PlayStation.

[00:05:04] I remember, uh, the lengths I went to get my, my first PlayStation 2.

[00:05:09] Mm-hmm.

[00:05:10] I remember, uh, giving up a whole lot of birthday gifts for PlayStation 3 cause of that damn price

[00:05:16] tag.

[00:05:17] Yep.

[00:05:18] And, uh, I remember, uh, feeling glorious that I could buy the PS4 on my own and that

[00:05:24] it was a reasonable price at launch.

[00:05:28] So that was awesome.

[00:05:29] Yep.

[00:05:29] And then getting my, my, uh, PS4 pro, which I still kind of like miss.

[00:05:36] I actually still wish I had that just as a collector's item.

[00:05:38] It was awesome.

[00:05:40] I, I can remember going to blockbuster and renting a PlayStation one and renting alien trilogy

[00:05:48] and resin.

[00:05:50] Like rent, renting a system.

[00:05:51] Yeah.

[00:05:52] Blockbuster.

[00:05:53] Yeah.

[00:05:54] They rented systems.

[00:05:55] I remember renting, uh, N64 back in the day.

[00:05:58] Oh, that's so cool.

[00:05:59] Yep.

[00:06:00] So they, um, they've got a ton, like I said, they've got a ton on the PlayStation, um, you

[00:06:07] know, PlayStation store.

[00:06:08] Uh, they've also got it grouped into games that were on the PS one, on the PS two, on

[00:06:14] the PS three and the PS four.

[00:06:15] So if you're going to go look at some of those classics, you can just go dive right on into

[00:06:19] it.

[00:06:19] Um, I, you know, just seeing something even just as small as the original.

[00:06:25] The original startup screen kind of just warm my heart and just to think about how, how

[00:06:30] long I've been gaming on both, you know, PlayStation, but Nintendo too.

[00:06:33] But just how many games of my, like how many of my favorite games are actually on PlayStation

[00:06:38] like compared to what what's on Nintendo.

[00:06:40] Right.

[00:06:41] I mean, I love Zelda, Metroid and animal crossing, but it doesn't compare to the games,

[00:06:44] the franchises that I love on PlayStation.

[00:06:46] But it's decades of those, those, those exact franchises that you're talking about

[00:06:50] we're like sony they're a list of a whole bunch of different games and all of us can remember what

[00:06:56] it was like to play crash bandicoot for the first time and that whole startup sequence you know um

[00:07:02] so happy birthday to playstation um you know definitely let's let's see what they come out

[00:07:10] with next you know there's rumors of hand you know avita comeback you know for their next you

[00:07:16] know like a or some sort of handheld yeah coming out yeah so and oh also check out the 30th

[00:07:24] anniversary uh trailer that was out uh you can probably find it easier on ign or something but

[00:08:13] they're using the song dreams um but it's the epic trailer version done by a group a group called

[00:08:20] dream a lot um it is the old school song dreams um that was what was it the cranberries that did it

[00:08:32] the original it's a good question i think so to the google do not remember yes to the google ask

[00:08:44] ask the question to the almighty google uh google says fleetwood mech no that's a different that's a

[00:08:51] different dreams okay okay yeah that's what i went with uncharted 3 so awesome ghost of tushima

[00:09:05] classic yeah it is actually the cranberries that did dreams the original oh nice so yeah just

[00:09:19] you know awesome throughout all the years just yeah even the classics all the throughout the polygons

[00:09:29] yeah right i love it that's awesome you know they even threw in infamous and you've got tony hawk

[00:09:40] and of course there it is oh man oh gee little metal rap of the rapper

[00:09:49] you know sly cooper yeah kill zone what born so great so many games that i also wish could make a

[00:10:03] comeback but you know we'll see that was a nice little like send-off yeah so yeah definitely check

[00:10:14] out the trailer it's very it's very it's really uh it's cool now before we jump in and vote for

[00:10:22] all of our you know categories for game awards um speaking of playstation uh i did drop episode 303

[00:10:32] which is a bonus episode uh today oh nice and it got uploaded to uh the audio platforms that were carried

[00:10:40] on but uh tommy earl jenkins the voice of diehard man in death stranding as well as the marin

[00:11:04] he was on episode 58 58 yeah 58 yeah dude okay so think about this let's put it in context

[00:11:13] that's nearly five years riley was born the week after we recorded that episode

[00:11:19] jess let's just put it in context so yeah he was born in 2020 okay

[00:11:28] so yeah he's gonna be he'll be five at the end of end of next month so um so guys um

[00:11:37] i'm assuming do we want to do game of the year first or do you want to do that last

[00:11:41] last okay then just start at uh start at the second one and you can just keep going next

[00:11:46] okay yeah all right so we're going to start off with best game direction uh order for outstanding

[00:11:52] creative vision and innovation and game direction design uh astrobot allatro black myth wukong

[00:11:59] elden ring shadow of the earth tree and final fantasy 7 rebirth and go back up to the uh the what

[00:12:06] are they ascending creative vision and innovation and game game direction design astrobot nope nope

[00:12:16] what's your what's your guys's votes go ahead uh i'm actually gonna go rebirth wow i'm gonna go

[00:12:25] i'm gonna say that one i actually am not gonna pick my my future employer

[00:12:34] you're not you're not giving yourself any uh props for getting that job by not i know i know and i

[00:12:39] anyways my uh my my future employer you know like it was great it was amazing but it was not the winner

[00:12:46] it should be elden ring elden ring really yeah just the design aspect like innovation not so much

[00:12:55] i mean like if we want to go that route but are you going by design of like graphics and visuals

[00:13:03] or design of the game itself with like game mechanics and because like visual innovation fluidity

[00:13:11] game direction and design the game direction design and elden elden ring was just so much more better

[00:13:18] and like you know i i haven't i haven't played that one but just the fact of it it there is

[00:13:27] like are we yes it it was still like it had you had the frame set already so i mean creative like

[00:13:36] creative new innovation like not really but there was a lot of fluff like stuff that wasn't necessary

[00:13:43] in it that's that's my concern as much as i it's dlc elden ring is dlc and that is my big problem

[00:13:52] right now is that they're now they're just all of a sudden including dlc in this like they've never

[00:13:57] like automatically exit out of every vote instantly like it's a dq no then well if it qualifies if it

[00:14:07] qualifies for the category i'll certainly consider it but and it does qualify for this category it does

[00:14:12] now they're considering well yeah but to me no but that's what i'm saying i don't know why why a soldier

[00:14:19] on this i like because he has uh he was unavailable tonight i don't think i don't think deals i don't

[00:14:27] think it should have been involved in the game why jason you need some backup here no because because

[00:14:31] it's true like vote in the first place but it is and i think because of lack of uh and variety of of

[00:14:38] thing of uh games that haven't come out yeah uh elden ring made it on there the dlc made it on there

[00:14:46] so i purpose i feel that i'm gonna vote for it if it qualifies for the for the category i think for me

[00:14:57] out of the two like i get elden ring and what it's done but for me astrobot with everything they put

[00:15:05] into that game from level design to the mechanics to everything for me i think the creative vision

[00:15:13] and and you know the design were better and you know are in better in astrobot because elden ring

[00:15:19] is just it's an expansion like they've already to your point jason they've already the mechanics

[00:15:25] the framework which i'm not voting for rebirth like for me it's going to come down to either

[00:15:32] astrobot or elden ring because final fantasy i don't i don't think it was for me it's astrobot or

[00:15:38] wukong oh well i haven't played wukong so i definitely not wukong yeah sorry man primarily

[00:15:47] for the fact that you can't you that you can't parry there's no innovation you can't parry

[00:15:53] you can't parry no innovation that's what i'm saying all right that's my opinion all right

[00:16:02] theo i'm gonna step aside i'm gonna let you be the tiebreaker well the way that we voted it looks

[00:16:07] like we're astrobot you got two for astrobot one for fan final fantasy and one for elden ring yeah

[00:16:14] okay astrobotity is sir astrobot best narrative we have final fan okay so for outstanding storytelling

[00:16:24] and narrative development in a game you've got final fantasy 7 rebirth like a dragon infinite wealth

[00:16:29] metaphor uh refentazio uh suna uh whatever hellblade 2 senua's saga thank you hellblade 2

[00:16:39] and you have silent hill 2 i'll go first i think i know jason's and if and if it doesn't get picked

[00:16:47] i am gonna leave for a second in silence but if you do that i definitely know what he's picking

[00:16:53] hellblade 2 then i don't know what i don't know what you guys want in narration i am as much as i

[00:17:02] mean i haven't played it on xbox or anything like that but i know what that game entails and everything

[00:17:07] much like hellblade 1 jason i'm gonna agree with you on that one yeah if you do not pick it i i swear

[00:17:14] to god like purely purely because i i i agree i don't know the others but i feel like this is like

[00:17:21] a test of our friendship right now out of everything it is but just out of just randomly

[00:17:26] hearing like the uh hearing it through the like rumor sphere uh definitely hellblade because it

[00:17:34] exceeded like yeah i mean everyone was like oh either mentions it was like oh have you checked that out

[00:17:40] like so oh yeah oh i would do hellblade and plus i would just concede to to j-rock because uh the

[00:17:47] other the other ones in the category i don't all right best art direction for outstanding creative

[00:17:53] and or technical achievement in artistic design and animation you've got astrobot black myth

[00:17:58] eldon roll or island ring rather metaphor and uh neva

[00:18:03] i never heard of neva yeah i didn't hear i don't know that one

[00:18:09] go up again so i see that outstanding creative and or technical achievement in artistic design and

[00:18:15] animation do you want me to start again because yeah go for it i feel like we're going to pick the

[00:18:23] same one again and i am you are the maitre d of services yep i will lead the way because i know

[00:18:29] this one actually should be and that is it should be astrobot oh i disagree

[00:18:37] really what are you going with deal so my reasoning with not astrobot is even though it

[00:18:44] could like essentially completely goes against my entire being is that uh the the art direction

[00:18:51] with astrobot i feel like is um funko pop sony edition because it's it's the same it's the same

[00:19:00] shape with different looks so that that's why that's why i go against astrobot um best art direction uh

[00:19:09] i'm pulling up some some pictures of neva i do like the artwork but i think it's rather simplistic

[00:19:15] uh if you want the artwork then if you're going pure artwork metaphor metaphor would be yeah yeah

[00:19:24] i might actually just because i did play it and i do like how beautiful it is and how

[00:19:30] how they went with it i'm gonna go wukong jerry category again this is for

[00:19:42] best art direction art direction uh yeah and i hate to go against design and yeah i lean more towards uh

[00:19:51] uh theo's theory i'll go wukong i i hate to go against my second employer atlas you know but uh

[00:19:59] i will like i want to vote for him later trust me trust me later but we'll go vote for what they're known for

[00:20:07] yeah we'll go with black myth um as much as i love the art direction on on astrobot i think theo you're right

[00:20:16] it's you know simplistic okay best score in music outstanding music inclusive score original song and or

[00:20:23] licensed soundtrack astrobot final fantasy metaphor silent hill 2 and stellar blade uh i'm gonna i'll

[00:20:29] probably have to concede to you guys because uh i would i'm gonna say final fantasy because that's all

[00:20:35] i know nope i'm i'm going astrobot in this one oh yeah i love the music

[00:20:41] yes okay this then this this includes like uh ambient music too or no yeah background music

[00:20:48] everything just everything is so playful and cute just how they did it and it's like even just the

[00:20:54] the main screen astrobot song it's just i love that shit

[00:21:01] yeah i love it when i love it when they uh include like the theme of the you got they gave

[00:21:08] us a franchise characters yeah ragnarok they gave us horizon i mean yeah you're you're you're you're

[00:21:14] preaching to all the the sony people right here so i mean that's fine but i want to put out there

[00:21:20] my vote if it includes the ambient music and everything like that is actually supposed to be

[00:21:25] silent hill 2 okay okay interesting but yeah i know i'll vote on this one on this one okay best

[00:21:34] audio design recognizing best in-game audio and sound design astrobot call of duty black ops 6

[00:21:39] wild fantasy 7 rebirth senoa saga hellblade 2 and silent hill 2 jason i'm going to have to agree with

[00:21:48] you um this particular one with silent hill 2 yeah i was gonna go silent hill 2 as well okay it's a

[00:21:56] toss-up it is very close between because this is in-game audio hell yeah yeah it is very close no i'm

[00:22:04] talking no i remember yeah yeah and i remember silent hill like the the creaks and the footsteps i i remember

[00:22:10] those games yeah yeah so those two it's very always awesome like senoa hope gets it like my heart

[00:22:17] wants it to win but i know my mind knows that all right oh best performance awarded to an individual

[00:22:24] for voiceover acting motion and performance we have not had this many women in this category before

[00:22:31] nice so we've got brown and white for final fantasy 7 rebirth on a telly for life is strange double

[00:22:38] exposure humberly gonzalez for star wars outlaws luke roberts silent hill 2 and league of jurgens for

[00:22:45] senoa saga hellblade 2 brie baby brie boom brie yep i i'm going melina yep i'm going melina too

[00:22:55] i will yield because you want to split it in the middle don't you you want to say so damn like

[00:23:06] brie so here's my thing is brie like i played the game so i i know all of the dialogue i have not done

[00:23:12] life is strange jerry's the only one that's done star wars outlaws so he's the only one i can speak

[00:23:17] to humberly's performance i haven't played silent hill 2 so i can't speak to luke roberts performance

[00:23:22] in that um however i've seen enough of senoa saga yeah that i think melina kind of deserves the edge in

[00:23:33] that it's hellblade too i think she deserves i think she deserves the edge that i saw so i saw some

[00:23:39] some of the cinemas too in there is just i think i i personally think the thing that gave her the edge

[00:23:46] was the freedom and the direction in that game versus rebirth all right yeah so we've got innovation

[00:23:54] and accessibility recognizing software and or hardware that is pushing the medium forward by

[00:23:58] adding features technology and content to help games be played and enjoyed by an even wider audience

[00:24:03] you have call of duty black ops 6 diablo 4 dragon age of veil guard prince of persia lost crown and star

[00:24:09] wars outlaw hmm i do not know the accessibility options on any of these well i can speak to outlaws

[00:24:16] i didn't know about lost crown really outlaws uh gives you a lot of uh uh uh options but uh i think

[00:24:25] i also heard that dragon age gave you quite a few options on how to play too if anybody played it

[00:24:30] yeah but that's also i don't um i know black ops put a lot of it in there too um but i'm gonna get

[00:24:39] honestly from jerry what you've talked about from accessibility and stuff even when we've talked

[00:24:44] about before for me i'm gonna go with outlaws cool because i know ubi's put a lot of it but i can't

[00:24:49] and yeah and they have put a lot of focus ubi has put a lot of focus on yeah ubi does ubi does

[00:24:55] try to take care of the player like yeah yep games for impact we have a thought-provoking game

[00:25:00] with a pro social meaning or message we have closer the distance uh indica neva life is strange

[00:25:07] seno saga hellblade 2 and we have tales of ken zero um you're not my vote you're not i think it's

[00:25:18] restrained or hellblade i think i'm going i feel like there's only two that we have any knowledge

[00:25:23] of yeah yeah i'll go to hellblade no i mean like hellblade man like let's do it again when you have

[00:25:30] deals with doctors yeah in psychology working on the game correct now like all right best ongoing

[00:25:38] we all know what this is so mine's gonna be hard destiny 2 diablo 4 final fantasy 14 fortnite and

[00:25:45] held divers don't don't don't you give that face jerry don't don't you do it don't you do it sorry

[00:25:52] i want destiny i do do but i think fortnite i think fortnite's gonna win it yeah for what reason

[00:25:59] all right i i want to hear the reason i want to hear this well i mean it hasn't lost hype it continues

[00:26:07] growing destiny you know is on its like kind of uh hurrah last hurrah tour it's kind of been going

[00:26:15] you know further down in in like players it's like it's it's finishing up its its its whole like run

[00:26:23] uh fortnite's is just continuing going and like every chapter it just gets bigger and bigger so

[00:26:30] that's the only reason we know i love this going i think yeah i'm going destiny because they they put

[00:26:36] in a good amount for what they have done for the past 10 years um whereas i where i feel like fortnite

[00:26:42] like it may have a following for ongoing but i still feel like that like it's going to be another

[00:26:47] funko it's it's it's the same they just added lego and they're just adding to it they're just

[00:26:54] adding a different it's another skin once again i'm just reading the terrain i just i think i don't

[00:27:01] care whatever people's vote is is the fortnite that's what i just i'm just telling you jerry like and i

[00:27:09] know this is why you're thinking this way one of these games is completely free so just remember

[00:27:16] that right yeah no but i think um with the newest stuff with final fantasy i will yield

[00:27:24] to destiny 2 because final fantasy 14 lately just do destiny 2 it's it's trying to rebuild again

[00:27:33] so it's going to be interesting however okay best community support recognizing a game for

[00:27:37] outstanding community support transparency and responsiveness inclusive of social media activity

[00:27:42] and game updates patches baldur's gate 3 ff14 fortnite helldivers 2 and no man's sky

[00:27:50] see this is something i would i would think destiny would be on because they listen to their

[00:27:55] no but it's also and it's it's how they're supporting the community and responding to the

[00:28:02] community which destiny i hate to say it does not just been that's because they've been like

[00:28:07] handicapped with with the amount of layoffs and everything like well and then

[00:28:11] the community like the head of uh community left for iron galaxy yep went to work with adam voice

[00:28:18] so then i'll probably have to get i'll say fortnite then i

[00:28:26] one of these games jerry is completely free i honestly because i've because i've seen them on

[00:28:34] social media active my votes are gonna my vote would actually be either baldur's gate 3 or norman's

[00:28:39] or no man's sky interesting okay baldur's gate 3 on the other end they've been extremely responsive

[00:28:47] on social to all the comments being posted and stuff like that your your thoughts theo uh i i kind of

[00:28:54] would have gone with either helldivers 2 or fortnite to be honest uh with held the only reason i i mean

[00:29:03] obviously it's kind of strange that i didn't say helldivers because i've played it and i loved it but

[00:29:09] uh yes they listened to the players but they were very slow at doing anything about it

[00:29:16] but they're still a very small studio there's not that much to do also true yeah but also um there

[00:29:23] was a lot of suggestions on how to kind of ramp up the action a little bit and a lot of fans were

[00:29:31] agreeing upon a lot of these changes and uh they they're now just barely doing it where they've already

[00:29:39] lost their their initial uh yeah i think if i'm really going with you're a little my vote is

[00:29:47] my vote is still like my primary vote would be baldur's gate 3 yeah i didn't even realize they

[00:29:52] were still doing more stuff because i thought yes they are they were just okay which which we are

[00:29:57] gonna i wanna also vote with matt on that but just for me i'm down if yeah if held divers too if

[00:30:05] all the hoopla from held divers was later in the year and they were still on top of everything i

[00:30:11] would say how many orders oh oh yeah it was too easy all right but the fact that they just lost so

[00:30:16] many people because they lost a lot of momentum and yeah they they reacted to it best independent

[00:30:22] game outside of creative technical achievement a game made outside the traditional publisher system

[00:30:27] you've got animal well bellatro lorelei and the laser eyes neva and ufo 50 easy blotro okay okay

[00:30:37] easy like all right best debut indie game for the best debut game created by a new independent studio

[00:30:46] animal well bellatro manor lord for two drive lucky squire i recently i recently picked up

[00:30:54] plucky squire i i am going like that game really i'm going but it is very innovative for a debut is

[00:31:02] it's really shitty and 3d indie okay like yeah that's one that i'm gonna pick up when it's rain but

[00:31:10] okay yeah all right jason this is your uh your cup of tea best mobile game yep you've got afk journey

[00:31:33] no no and you have to you have to only on mobile solely on mobile yeah yeah i don't think it's worth

[00:31:42] i don't think it's worthy because you have to open pack up packs up daily till you can up your levels to

[00:31:49] where you can start doing the training and the battling stuff and actually but that is the point of a

[00:31:53] game yeah that's why you gotta train you gotta be patient it's gonna win and quick you start

[00:31:59] battling within the first 10 minutes category but however it's gonna pokemon is gonna win

[00:32:05] pokemon yep all right for best pop i don't think for best mobile game yeah exactly exactly

[00:32:12] oh this is this one's even true but because of the amount of votes it's probably gonna get

[00:32:18] pokemon well um vr ar arizona sunshine remake asgard's wrath 2 batman arkham shadow that game is metal

[00:32:27] hellslinger vr and i don't have any vr so i don't know um i have heard nothing but amazing things about

[00:32:34] arkham shadow and how it feels like you're playing the actual arkham games in the suit that would be

[00:32:40] interesting and still not up to vr but i mean i just want to like grapple all over the place

[00:32:45] yeah if i were playing that game where's spider-man vr yeah for me my my boat's arkham

[00:32:53] at least you went humble and went with the spider-man whoop for the grappling like i would i would do a

[00:33:00] pelvic thrust every time i did it he's like all right okay all right here we go best action game

[00:33:08] black myth wukong call of duty black ops 6 held diverse to stellar blade warhammer 40 000 space marine 2

[00:33:49] of zelda echoes of wisdom i'm pretty sure matt knows what i'm picking matt knows what i'm picking

[00:34:48] all right best rpg we have and this is best game design or bet for the best game designed with rich

[00:34:56] player character customization and progression including massively multiplayer experiences oh

[00:35:13] reputazio jason but there's a jr best rpg correct best rpg elden ring yep no shut up it doesn't even

[00:35:22] have to be jrpg it's just rpg rpg rpg there's one thing that this one company does the best and that is atlas

[00:35:29] they do the best rpg it so it's going to be either like a dragon but metaphor re-fantazero is

[00:35:37] i i've seen one i've seen gameplay of metaphor and it looks fantastic i have not so yeah okay i'm gonna go

[00:35:47] metaphor for me i'm going metaphor atlas let's go metaphor atlas is they they make the best rpgs all right

[00:35:55] best fighting game we have dragon balls marking zero grand blue fantasy versus rising marvel

[00:36:02] versus capcom fighting collection arcade classics multiverses and tekken 8 i'm gonna go with

[00:36:11] marvel versus capcom just because the fact is it has street fighter versus x-men x-men

[00:36:18] for street fighter as much as i want to do marvel versus capcom i only i still say we vote for it but

[00:36:25] i only object to it because it is re-released content exactly i am with you on that one theo okay

[00:36:35] which is why i'm gonna my second choice would be sparking my second my second choice is tekken

[00:36:41] tekken yeah my second second choice is dragon ball all right i don't know dragon ball

[00:36:47] so wait wait as much as dragon ball i go i'll go to the whole literally the entire dragon ball cast

[00:36:55] okay gameplay as you've seen oh god this is a lot of uh best high-level family best family

[00:37:02] astrobot princess peach showtime super mario party jamboree legend of zelda echoes of wisdom and the

[00:37:07] plucky squire hmm my vote as the one person in this room that has a family family astrobot

[00:37:20] okay yeah astrobot i'm good with that because they are constantly playing that game they have

[00:37:26] not put it down they've started they started playing echoes and they set it aside and kept going back to

[00:37:32] astrobot that game cool it it just all around it's great i think as much as i i enjoy echoes of wisdom

[00:37:41] some of the the mechanics to you know actually build stuff

[00:37:46] can be over a littler family one's head but when my four-year-old is rocking astrobot levels like no

[00:37:56] other that's where i have to go with that one that's fair okay i could also see like families

[00:38:03] trying to solve echoes of wisdom stuff kind of like yeah butting heads so yeah all right astro's good

[00:38:09] best sim or strategy best game focused on real time or turn-based simulation or strategy uh strategy

[00:38:15] gameplay uh you've got age of mythology retold frost punk 2 uh kenitsugami manor lords and unicorn overlord

[00:38:23] i the only one i've even seen anything on or heard anything on is unicorn overlord and everybody

[00:38:28] raves about it yet another atlas game yeah i've never heard was frost punk too but i'm good for

[00:38:34] yeah yeah yep unicorn overload cool my second my second employer you know atlas all right best sports

[00:38:42] or racing we've got f124 ea sports fc25 nba 2k25 topspin 2k25 and wwe 2k24

[00:38:51] um if i'm gonna throw a dart at a board i'm gonna go nba or topspin i haven't played uh i was i would

[00:38:59] think either nba or f1 actually racing's gotten racing's gotten really popular lately yeah but

[00:39:08] i'd go nba it's probably nba okay it's solid all right best multiplayer

[00:39:15] processing online multiplayer game and design including co-op and uh massively multiplayer

[00:39:21] experiences perspective of game genre or platform uh black ops 6 hell divers 2 super mario party

[00:39:28] jamboree tech in 8 and warhammer warhammer this one is actually should be held diverse i believe yeah

[00:39:34] as much as the people have dropped off it the experience it should but i think the momentum

[00:39:42] it's gonna go with warhammer i i think but i agree with you jason i think it should be

[00:39:48] hell i vote hell divers yeah like the because of the mechanics yeah okay i'm down i mean it is

[00:39:54] it is three-man team has matchmaking i mean that's fair yeah it's very hard to play in his four

[00:47:37] we have a collective yeah you do we have one collective so uh put me in for silent hill 2 okay

[00:47:45] um um i'm gonna say i'm gonna toss my collective my hat in the pat you know um out of all this

[00:47:56] i would say hell divers out of what's left out of what's left out of what's left i would say uh elden

[00:48:05] ring yeah i was kind of go all the ring yeah okay i'll i'll concede cool all right last one game of the

[00:48:14] year yep go view all categories view all categories uh in the middle in the middle oh there we go

[00:48:27] all right game of the year all right wait what you gotta explain what it says first recognizing a game

[00:48:36] that delivers only the name doesn't do it enough no because like no because because elden rings in

[00:48:42] there it's a dlc anyways recognizing a game that delivers the absolute best experience across all

[00:48:48] creative and technical fields we have astrobot balatro black myth elden ring shadow of the earth tree

[00:48:54] final fantasy 7 rebirth and metaphor astro astro how dare you guys jason how

[00:49:05] what's your pick is it elden it is okay yeah astro for me it for me it's astro yeah so it's astro

[00:49:15] wow as it said as it said across all uh technical and creativities so you got to include the family

[00:49:23] aspect too man best experience and when you look at the family side too man when you look at astrobot

[00:49:30] there's so much in there including some of the level designs that you have to be spot on to

[00:49:35] to do them like it incorporates the the dual sense so well i mean like apparently i'm three to one so

[00:49:44] it's okay but i'm just saying i just can't okay jason here's my thing is how can you you want me to

[00:49:50] unanimously vote it because it's not i'd rather go elden ring then after that would be balatro

[00:49:57] and then after a lot okay here's here's my problem is that for this being game of the year night this

[00:50:02] goes exactly to the argument that there wasn't enough this year and they decided to throw in a dlc

[00:50:10] like how many final fantasy 7 expansion or final fantasy 14 expansions deserve to be considered for

[00:50:17] game of the year if they were considering dlc if that they're one there is no dlc for for final

[00:50:25] fantasy they are expansions of the base game correct that's what elden reach out of the entry is

[00:50:31] individual games that you but you have differently there's still one game but it is an individual game and in

[00:50:40] order to get to the next game you have to buy the next game and it's a continuation of the next which is

[00:50:46] what's interesting you have to have elden ring in order to play shadow of the earth tree

[00:50:54] so so so let's let's let me put this in your guys's head for just a second so let let let me compare

[00:51:03] elden ring and elden ring shadow of the earth tree okay to spider-man and spider-man miles morales

[00:51:14] spider-man spider-man 2 miles morales wasn't necessarily a dlc

[00:51:17] final fantasy remake but it was half a game it was half a game okay still yeah well i don't know i

[00:51:24] mean i really know there's a game in my point in my final fantasy remake final fantasy rebirth

[00:51:29] literally is the same game and it's getting two halves game of the year two halves

[00:51:35] i don't think rebirth i don't think rebirth deserves it either yeah but i mean like elden ring

[00:51:40] it's still in there and you guys aren't complaining about that one so because it's a standalone because

[00:51:45] you're not picking rebirth like whatever the last but but also your your argument is is the fact that

[00:51:51] that's going to be game of the year as well okay so hold on hold on so is your argument that lord of

[00:51:56] the rings fellowship of the ring and two towers they don't deserve to be uh uh movies of the year

[00:52:02] considered for oscars it's their parts that yes because that's part of the because you don't

[00:52:09] but it's cut up in parts you don't need the other ring shadow it's a dlc it's a continuation yes you

[00:52:15] do remake to play rebirth no you don't no in order to understand the story okay to understand the story

[00:52:23] yes but rebirth itself is a completely 100 you can start the game and end it correct

[00:52:31] elden ring shadow of the earth tree you cannot play it without elden owning elden ring you have to own

[00:52:38] it and you have to do something very very specific to trigger said dlc that's where i have a problem

[00:52:45] with it so it makes every every expansion expansion pack

[00:52:52] null and void from being ever being game of the year no i don't think that's the argument because i

[00:52:58] that is the argument well but i think i think that's what elden i think the shadow of of earth tree

[00:53:05] opens up this argument like we're at that point where now we have to discuss whether or not

[00:53:10] they need to be included or not but like think about it in this case if you have an award for a category

[00:53:18] for that's what i'm that's what i'm saying they have a category or should they be included in game of the year

[00:53:23] okay so i think this year is just very tough because one because this is the first year that is included

[00:53:31] in it and it's tough to differentiate you know whether or not it deserves to be in the category or not

[00:53:38] but i i will i will i will support jason and jerry you made this point too that any sequel yes that doesn't

[00:53:47] nullify them from being in game of the year as long as it's a full game not a dlc i'm sorry elden ring

[00:53:55] shadow of earth tree is a dlc it should not be game of the year shadow of the earth tree if i go into

[00:54:00] playstation store which i just did through the app i have to go to the elden ring page itself and go to

[00:54:09] add-ons because that's what it is it's an add-on it is an expansion so for me is

[00:54:17] if they had considered prior expansions and i want to pick on ff14 because jason as you've played it

[00:54:25] right you've talked about how many great expansions they've had right well those should have been

[00:54:30] considered those should have absolutely been considered for game of the year then this to me

[00:54:38] is like honestly like black myth deserves it more than elden ring in my opinion and i still for me i

[00:54:47] think all around i think all around i still think astrobot based on the description of the category i

[00:54:55] that's why i like i i'm not that's why i'm not fighting with black myth black myth misses some of

[00:55:00] that some of the stuff that's in the category i uh astrobot hits every every check mark so i'm i'm for

[00:55:09] astrobot i'm out voted so i mean it's getting picked but i'm just saying like it's so jason tell me

[00:55:20] that i understand but it doesn't have to be so cut and dry like this really is okay a tough year

[00:55:26] because this is the first of its kind so jason get forget it's dlc and everything like that why do you

[00:55:32] think shadow of the earth tree deserves game of the year because elden ring won game of the year before

[00:55:37] yeah no seriously i want i'm i want to see jason weigh in on this can he change my opinion no i won't

[00:55:49] be able to change your opinion because you're already locked in on astrobot just because the dlc are like

[00:55:54] i don't but no i believe i believe that dlc aside what did they do in earth tree that

[00:56:04] uh improved on elden ring no i mean like again i haven't played like half of these games you know

[00:56:10] black myth i played for like five minutes of jerry balatro i mean you played five minutes of it for jerry

[00:56:18] oh yeah we're gonna get past that you know beat the game for jay but and then the fifth what was it

[00:56:24] the metaphor uh metaphor metaphor metaphor yeah yeah that one i haven't picked up yet because i still have

[00:56:31] like atlas backlog forever again none of these i've fully played from start to finish except for

[00:56:39] rebirth okay you know and again it's it's all about how do you feel about the game as you're playing it is

[00:56:46] this great is this game amazing would i be able to pick this up again or would i be able to say hey

[00:56:51] you know what i'm gonna drop it for a second and then i come back to it because damn this is a good game

[00:56:56] you know jerry's got red dead 2 matt you got animal crossing you've been picking up and dropping

[00:57:03] picking up and dropping theo mass effect again destiny and belief yeah yeah yeah on and off forever

[00:57:11] are those all good games yes would you pick it up back up again yes yes deserved game of the air jerry

[00:57:17] yeah i did i believe it absolutely mass effect 2 particularly and if i look at all these elden ring

[00:57:25] shadow that urtri again it's because it's so good it has so many like yes it pisses you off moments

[00:57:33] because of the like the difficulty factor being a uh souls game but it just has that that pop you know

[00:57:42] it it you'll you'll be able to put it down like oh man and then you pick it back up oh my god i

[00:57:48] remember this and then you're like oh my god i hate this again but then you're like still playing it

[00:57:52] you're still putting in time it's the game of the year it should be

[00:57:57] you know it it has everything that you want the action the the art direction i mean not as great

[00:58:05] as others but still great art direction great graphics great great gameplay you know i don't

[00:58:13] know what you need more so maybe a good soundtrack i again i don't yeah you die a lot more than you

[00:58:21] so jason to that to that argument right if i take out that it's a dlc there's still the one glaring

[00:58:27] problem with it is that in order to access the content you have to do something specific

[00:58:34] in elden ring just to get to it so it's even in that like the percentage of people do

[00:58:42] beating that boss to get to it is even still difficult

[00:58:48] yeah and i know like it took me five years to beat sekiro you know is that is did i still beat

[00:58:56] it yeah did i push through yeah however let's say let's say another uh expansion came out for sekiro

[00:59:04] midway of that five years would you have bought the expansion midway and have to wait two and a half

[00:59:12] years of playing in order to get to it yeah i would have because the reason why is because

[00:59:16] i know this is a great game i know it's a game that i want to play was i terrible when i first played it

[00:59:23] yes did i eventually get through it yeah like i i have a feeling though like i think it's going to go to

[00:59:31] elder ring it should like like i sure might is my personal game of the year but looking at the grand

[00:59:39] scheme of things right i mean elden ring hits a larger audience than yeah well and again you guys

[00:59:46] i think we're going to get a surprise i still think like i say like i say you guys vote to astrophot

[00:59:51] but i'm just letting you know like that is yeah that is why it's not going to be unanimous on this one

[00:59:56] no three to one and that's fine that's fine we've we've we're fine with that but i'm just putting

[01:00:03] out my my my my 10 cents out there not my two cents my 10 cents out there you're 10 cents you're

[01:00:09] expensive man i know hey you know what like damn inflammation or inflation so i just if we see if we

[01:00:17] see if we see a dlc again i will still consider it like you know based on what the entirety of that dlc

[01:00:25] gave me and it should it should but like i said this year was very difficult because one we had a

[01:00:33] lack of nothing stood out we had a lack of real huge uh games uh to be in that category and once again

[01:00:42] it's the first of its kind to have a dlc nominated so this this was a different year so let's put this

[01:00:48] out there i want to difficult to our listeners head on over to your youtube channel comment on the video

[01:00:53] i want to hear what your opinions are you know of this we'll drop this this episode this weekend um
