The State of Gaming - Game news from February - 2022

00:00:00All right, let's say hello and welcome to State of Gaming episode 3 and it's only episode 3. It should be more. It should be so much more. We are so much more. We are better than this. But the fact remains, it is only episode 3. Actually, we had a brief conversation before we started today and we tried to look up when we did an episode of this. the last time and it was actually in september of last year so this is more a quarterly thing it's a quarter yeah it's a state quarterly gaming issue but we we you know we can always uh blame life life got in the way yes yes of course it did so we could have had like a really easy time of it and just said like yeah let's do five months and just cherry pick the very best stuff but

00:00:57we are hardcore game hardcore to the max as they say um well you know anyway so we'll get kind of on the good days so we'll actually just stick to the games of february of 2022 we should say because the last time wasn't even this year yeah it's like so uh before we start we should probably recap very briefly what this uh show is about so the state of gaming is basically us having a look at the last month and looking at the highlights in the gaming world and talking about that. So if you are a native Swedish speaker and follow our weekly news shows, you will hear a lot of stuff that you've already heard. But we might put an extra spin on it, you know. We might bring the A-game. Or say something totally opposite. Yeah, I might just break stuff up. And, yeah, so, you know, it's...

00:01:53an international flavor but we we still have the news that we have so unless we start by making one news up every month yeah that would be interesting just because you just call it fake news oh no let's not do that maybe have it we'll have a spin on it like have one really good news every month the best news every month is when we make up feel good news the feel good news yeah i like that so um before we start we should probably you know kick off the show in an official capacity so let's try out the new mic oh okay yeah that was a good oomph yeah good i'm glad what do we have uh this beer is called how to highlight ipa nice and it's from a uh a swedish brewery from the from up north up the north where is it is it yellow and blue and black yeah it is i think okay cool and it's very fizzy like yeah a lot of things going on on this yeah so what are we talking about like taste-wise do you know is it scrumptious it's like a mediocre to good ipa

00:03:23Okay, so I mean, fair enough. It had a good can, you know. It really did. And it says, beer moment number one, the 5 p.m. beer. That's a sensible viewpoint. 5 p.m. is official beer hour. It is. Okay, Oskar, do you have something good still? No, it's just water today. but it's the best water yes put it short and say it was a party night yes last night okay it's one of those the day after the day kind of thing yeah kind of i am rocking uh coca-cola with some with with the plus option yeah upgrade it or downgrade it depending on your stance on alcohol it's a slight hint of pepsi in it okay that would have been disturbing you know what i don't i don't think i've ever done that like pepsi and coca-cola in 50 50. no you're right you'd rather go with with like rather go with the swip swap yeah yeah and it doesn't sound right so you know really maybe on a like a really wild and crazy experimentation session i might do that

00:04:48But I don't know. I can't guarantee that the world will survive. No, exactly. It feels crazy. It feels crazy. So anyway, before we start off with our deep dives and our beautiful reflections, let's maybe real quick just run through the list so that people can get a recap on what the games that have been released actually are. How about that? We have Life is Strange Remastered Collection. I'm guessing that's the old games. Yes. So not the new ones. And I mean, they're good. So now they're out on everything. Basically everything. Unless there's like a really weird little console somewhere. Then you're probably out of luck. But otherwise, it's there. We got Waylanders. Dying Light 2. Stay Human. Olly Olly World.

00:05:42Sifu, Crossfire X, which is weirdly enough one word. I didn't know that. Know by Heart, Lost Ark, Dinosaur Warriors 9 Empires, Assassin's Creed, the Ezio Collection. So that's... I'm not really into the Assassin's Creed games enough to know how many games that would be. But seeing as it's a collection, I would say more than two. Otherwise it would be like a duo, I think. And then we have the King of Fighters... 15? Yeah. Yeah, I'll just leave it at that. It's a King of Fighters game. But I don't even know what's special about it. Or if there is anything special about it. It's the King of Fighters. And then we have Total War Warhammer 3. Bigger and better than ever, I think. Rise of the Forbidden West. Destiny 2. The Witch Queen. And Monarch. And Martha is Dead. Never Alone. Elden Ring. Grid Legends. And Blood Bowl 3. Yeah.

00:06:41those were the the games that came out this month or the like last month we're at the very very beginning of march but yeah that was the february schedule it was pretty pretty packed it's a it's an extensive list yeah it's a lot of games to kick off the year with but we will of course not go through all of them because we only have uh we shouldn't mention that but this this show is usually around 45 minutes and if we went through all of these we would be here for like two or three hours easily so how about this let's each pick a game from the list and we'll do those first and if we have any more time after that we'll do something else does that sound like a good take on it yeah sure okay so um by choice of invisible dice

00:07:33I say Linda, you're first. All right. Well, I guess you would be able to guess which one that I am going to choose from these games. Yeah, have a hunch. I really love Martha is Dead. I think it's fantastic in the game, and it's so beautiful. It is. It is. It's crazy how beautiful it is. And also, we talked about this in our Swedish news program a little bit. But you mentioned very briefly that, oh, this game is actually censored on the PS platform. So Sony. Yes. I actually looked into what they had censored. Did you know what exactly it was? Yeah. It's pretty gnarly. Those are really gnarly. Like when there's a scene where she cuts the face of a dead person. She peels off the face. Yeah. With like, I think.

00:08:30Jewelry. A piece of jewelry. And that was too icky for Japan. Weirdly enough. Because, you know, Japan. No, you wouldn't think anything would be too icky for them. But this evidently is. And there's also a lot of really brutal scenes in this one. But it is actually a very cozy story behind this. Believe it or not. But the ickiness and yuckiness aside, it's a pretty strong story. We should mention that if you actually want to have this story uncensored, if you like, you can play it on the Xbox and on PC, because they haven't done any censoring as of yet. No, maybe they will. Maybe, perhaps. But on the other hand, maybe you want to try out your new PS5 if you manage to get one. because uh yeah i think this game would probably look pretty good on the ps5 yeah but and also i guess for really sensible players like this is it's not something you really want to see no so we should also like because we've talked about this game for a couple of minutes now but we haven't actually said what it is it's a horror game based in 1945 europe and it's about two twin sisters yes where one of where one of them dies and the other one assumes her identity yes

00:09:57And tries to live with that and also try to figure out who actually killed her. Yeah. So it's like a horror mystery thing. Yes. And also switched identities thrown into the mix to spice things up. And she's getting crazy along the way. As one does. Well, as she does. I'd assume you would be a little crazy. It's a weird situation. So she's kind of excused for being a little twisted. Yes, and since a little detail in this is also that the sister that died, she's deaf. Yes. So the sister who survived will have to pretend to be deaf. But the repercussions for taking over that identity, it's pretty huge. Yes. From now on, I'm deaf as well. Yeah. That would be like super hard to fake. I think so, yeah. Maybe that's why she's gone loopy.

00:10:56The concentration alone made her amazing. Well, I think that's part of it. I mean, it's not easy. Anyway, it's cool, right? But there's a story being revealed here, and she has some repressed memories from her childhood, and it's also a story about her experiencing and getting to know who she actually was and what happened to herself also. It's a cool mix. of a lot of things. But would you say that it is, in essence, a horror game or a mystery game? It is... Well, it is more a mystery game, like, time-wise. It's spent more on the mystery, but it also has these really nice, scary horror game moments where you're actually really scared. Yeah. I haven't looked at... too many videos of this because i'm thinking about playing it so i don't want to you know ruin the horror but is it jump scary or is it just you know scary because of the setting and slow build up it is uh it's a few jump scares as well i mean a few of those that's not bad but no but the build up is really good and the environment is really beautiful it's sat on a an estate in

00:12:20There's always an estate. Yeah, in the middle of the woods with a big lake. To paraphrase, there's always a lighthouse. But in horror, there's always a mansion. Yes. For some reason. Why are all these weird and horrible people always loaded enough to have a mansion? I don't know. I guess they did really horrible things and that's why ghosts are haunting them. Yeah, true enough. Anyway, that is out now on pretty much everything, I think. yes or at least most things maybe not the switch yeah uh no probably if you're on the switch you're out of luck but then you can play a lot of other games you know um oscar do you do you feel like delving into uh i don't know a game or two what have you uh what's on the list that's the what's the hot take on the list for you well

00:13:19without a doubt it's the dying light to stay human i'm still not done yet it's a big old game yeah and i know that the ending should be like interesting something special i love it when you say that's interesting and and so we will see about that but so far i just think that except that it's better in every way than the first game at least. Yeah, I mean, I should do a quick recap on my experience with this game. I haven't played it, but I did look through an entire playthrough and everything I saw up until the end was pretty good. I mean, even if the ending trips you up or makes you disappointed or isn't what you want it to be. um i would still say it's a game worth playing if you like the first one uh we should definitely say that it's as oscar said it's more of the same but done better so if you didn't like parkour and killing zombies and post-apocalypse stuff this is not for you yeah are there people out there who don't like zombies and

00:14:40Yeah. They are these vampire nerds. Yeah, that's true. Oh, one thing from very, very early in the game, so it's not a massive spoiler, but do you remember the party when he met that old guy, like his mentor, and they were drinking beer in the beginning? Mm-hmm. Were those beers, how long have they been out there? For a while, because he said something that it has no... Like no bubbles in it. Yeah. That kind of made... I don't know. For some reason that stuck with me. It's like, oh man, that must have been so nasty. I guess it is. They should at least be like five to ten years or something like that. I didn't know beer could stay fresh that long. But as a reference... for a couple of years ago i went to my parents summer house and i found um soda that was from 1976 and that was still fuzzy when i opened it oh yeah was it did it taste okay yeah i kind of but i guess it's so much sugar in it so it doesn't really get oh that's true that's true yeah

00:16:04So with beer, maybe it's something else. But on the other hand, they find wine that is like, I don't know, 2,000 years maybe. Yeah, but wine, that's how it's supposed to be. Old is better. But I've never heard like, do you want to have this vintage beer? It's been around for 100 years. It's delicious. Yeah, that kind of depends on the beer style, I think. Yeah, maybe they had just the right kind. Yeah, and I think there are prestigious beer sellers, actually, that have really old beer. That's cool. This is a thing I did not know, and Dying Light 2 brought it to my attention. So thank you, game. It's a video game. It is, it is. It teaches you stuff. Still, it's a game worth to pick up and play. Yes, and also, if you are looking to...

00:17:00maximize your bang for buck time this uh the devs of this game promised you 500 solid hours of fun 500 hours you know that's not bad well it might be really bad but it can also be really good it would be really bad if you had to play 500 hours yeah through the game then I'm a little bit interested instead of Delving in those 500 hours, complete the game in normal fashions like, I don't know, 40, 50 hours or whatever it's going to be. And then read the book instead. Yeah. I mean, you could do that. The challenge. Read a book. Or to keep it really meta. But there is a Dying Light novel. Yeah. Read the book from the world. Yeah. Yeah, that would be cool. And I guess that would take me, I don't know.

00:17:53i don't know how thick that one is but i guess it would take me 10 something 12 hours maybe yeah but not 460 hours and that's what i mean i can get more bang for the bucks i could even play it in the first game and still not get into the 500 yeah they they never really went into how you would get to 500 hours they just said like yeah there's there's 500 hours in there yeah You can say that on Super Mario also. Maybe you could just have it on for 500 hours in the menu. They turned it on, the title screen. Yep, 500 hours clock. Nice. If any of the developers are listening to this show, feel free to get back to us and explain what that means. Because we are briefly interested in it. We'll probably forget it in a couple of days. Probably there is all achievements with all the crazy super collective things that takes ages. That is true. Anyway, we'll leave it as I will get back to it probably in the next State of Gaming show. You would probably be done by then. I'll give you like another month. And we can talk about the ending and spoil it for everybody.

00:19:10have people we are like have a proper spoiler cast and and we don't even say anything we just jump right into it like dumbledore dies in them yeah yeah i just i just ruined those books i went there i went i went there like 20 years later so hopefully it's okay but that kind of stuff anyway it's um it's a game let's see let's say it's it's a game And it could have been a lot worse. But yeah, I would also be very surprised if they didn't release DLC for this game. It feels like a very... Because 500 hours is not enough. It's not enough. It's not enough. Like, put on a 200-hour DLC. Yeah. Really. I mean, I would say one of the better things about Dying Light is the world in itself. And seeing as you kind of have the entire world, so you could do a lot with it if you wanted to.

00:20:09So that's cool. So another game that I think, or a couple of games that we should probably mention because a lot of people seem to like them. And this is out on the Switch. So let's show the Switch some love. Olly Olly World. It's that weird little skating game. It's hard. Oh, you've tried it? No, but I watched someone that is really good at gaming and he said it was hard. Probably true. One of the things I will say, though, I'm not a big fan of the graphics choice. You're not? No. It looked like... I mean, maybe it's just because I played a lot of Tony Hawk's. Well, yeah, this is going to be a big difference. It's like, nah, this is not Tony Hawk's. And it's like, no, it's not. And Tony Hawk's is really good. Yeah.

00:21:05You know, yeah, I think the only thing they might have in common is the skateboard. Yes So I think that maybe because I hadn't looked into how this game looked I just heard like it's a skating games like yeah, that's what I need The look is like this is not what I need right now this it's not But a lot of people seems to like it though. Well, it is beautiful Yes, I did. I mean, it's just not the type of graphics that I was expecting but it's not a It's not an ugly-looking game in any way. I get some kind of weird feeling that it reminds me of a really early game in my career of gaming that is called California Games Skating. Oh, so another skating game. Maybe they had that as an inspiration or something. Maybe Tony Hawk is the odd one. Don't say that.

00:22:03No, that's a great game. Yeah, it is. Especially the remasters. So good. So good. You know what? Go play those games instead. Hot take. Yeah, do it. Just do it. Because you can get two in one. So why not? Moving on. Sifu. That's a tough game. Oh, man. It was actually too hard. A lot of people really got upset with how hard it was. And in the end, the devs actually had to, well, not retcon it, but they had to bring in new difficulty levels so that people actually could beat the game or go anywhere in the game. So this is basically a Cobra Kai, but game. So it's a lot of martial arts. the the story is way through thin it's like um bad dude shows up kills your dad and you as well but you are so upset so in um the crow style you come back from the dead to kill everybody yes of course you do it's uh it's revenge from yeah it's the revenge and um you beat everything up

00:23:29there's nothing wrong with that well there's a lot of wrong with that but in this game there's nothing wrong with that but when you die again you age so every time you die you get a little bit older and we're talking i think you can get up to like 64 years old or something oh my god yeah yeah that old you get like super old and you're like decrepit and you're not as good anymore but you you yeah so i think the game over like the the official game over kicks in when you die at 64 because then you're too old to fight it's like yeah you're dead and the cool thing is that you actually it's one of those games where you want to perfect every level because you have your age with you so if you can beat the first level 20 then you have a lot more to play with in the later levels but if you like beat the first level at 40.

00:24:23you might actually be better off by starting over. I think that's a very cool mechanic. It's adding a new... Yeah, it's a cool twist. But a lot of people got really enraged because they had a really good run and then they ran into a boss or a tough room and they lost 25 years. Yeah, I guess I have to restart the level now. Or the game, even. a lot of upset people and in the end they kind of threw in like an easy mode so that people could actually see the whole game play through the whole game yeah yeah but i think they the also the character uh looks i think it's it's cool how he changes because once he gets older he gets i don't know yeah old but also Somewhat beautiful. Yeah, I think yeah, it's a cool one. It looks very cool the transformation the graphical choices are I would say once again, not my I Wouldn't pick that style, but it's well made and they have like a very distinct graphical style, but I'm not it's not 100% my choice if I would know Definitely, but at first I thought this game was finished somehow

00:25:48because of the word Sifu. Sifu. It felt finished. And then when you open it up, it's like, okay, this is so not finished. But is it finished? Oh, no, it's not. No, probably not. Anyway, a lot of people, aside from those that were kind of salty for not being able to beat it, actually really like this game. And I think it's, from what I've seen and what I've heard from a lot of people, it is a really good game. But it's... one of those old school games that are yeah it's it's just legitimately tough it's not a like yeah let's sit down and beat sifo over this weekend you might never beat it but is it because we're spoiled nowadays i would definitely say that i would definitely say that and i kind of like it when they bring it back like we we usually talk on our other shows on how how the everything was better back in the days and one of the things that we kind of think

00:26:48was better in a lot of ways, was the challenge in games. I don't mind it. It can be easy, but I would like it if it's also like by default somewhat hard because it gives you a lot more, I would say, accomplishment, like feelings of accomplishment. Exactly. Like I did something. Yeah, I did. I didn't Google this. Yes, exactly. Would you say that you will be helped if you are like a hardcore Yakuza gamer? Ah, maybe. I mean, and I would say that only because you might have the rhythm to it, like you know how to dodge and weave and stuff like that. But this is more a legit fighting game. So maybe if you're like into Tekken or something like that, you might be like, yeah, I know what we're talking about here. So I'm interested in this game. I'll probably try it at some point, but I'm not sure when.

00:27:45It's on the list, but that list is pretty long. Yeah, it's pretty long. So another game that we haven't talked about a lot is the new MMO, Lost Ark from Korea. Yeah. Yep. It's from Korea. What's more to say? Korea is a country nation. Yeah. That was some work. They have K-pop. I'm not sure they have K-pop in this game, but they might. And this is how they might. Because this game has a world consisting of a lot of islands. And that's one of the ways they found to be able to basically lift any theme into the game. Because they just have an island with that theme. Which is kind of cool. I have looked at a lot of videos from this game. And at one island they have, I think, dancing animals or singing animals. Stuff like that.

00:28:44this feels more japanese than korean but you know whatever anyway it's it's been pretty pretty huge uh it's it's been out in korea for i think four or five years so it is by no means a small game they've already done the main campaign of course but also a couple of expansions so an advantage being like a Western player jumping into this game is that you don't have to experience like the early stages of an MMO where you could actually run out of stuff to do. From what I understand, there's a lot of things to do. You could get yourself occupied for more than 500 hours, probably. So take that Dying Light, I guess. Exactly. Yeah. And yeah, also from what I understand, it's free to play, but... It's one of those games that if you pay for stuff, you get some maybe shortcuts, and you get some extra on the side. It's standard MMO stuff, really. And also, all of the characters are viable, which is kind of cool. From what I've heard, you can basically pick whichever one you like, and it'll be okay. It'll be a decent experience. But then again, this is an MMO, so I don't think this game does anything...

00:30:04that other MMOs haven't done before. It's just a good MMO. So if you are tired of World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy XIV, this might be something to try out for a bit until those other games have new expansions. Or you feel the need to have two MMOs in your life. Some people, or a lot of people, actually, are kind of into both World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV. I don't... really get how they have enough time to do that? I guess they just do raids or something fun with the buddies because they are like end gamers but not that hardcore. And then they play FF the rest of the time. You're probably right. They probably do raiding and then they just jump onto the expansions when they come out. But let's start, yeah. If you're into that Korean MMO fare, this might just be what you're looking for. Not sure if there's a crowd.

00:31:03they're into that but you know whatever it's a good game probably there is yeah now there is so my uh game of choice from this list is another game i haven't played yeah i i haven't actually played any of these new fangled games from the february list but we have to mention of course horizon forbidden west aloy's return if it had been a star wars game yes yeah because this is a a sequel and she does return yes she does return yeah yes indeed and another hot take but this is not my hot take but a lot of people think that she's kind of she's a little edgy this time around he said she gets some moxie she's uh talking trash and taking names and stuff like that basically because we don't want to spoil this game because it's very new and it's very story centered but

00:32:00if you play the first game um you you do know that Aloy gets information that a lot of well probably no one else in that world has experienced in a long long while at the very end so she knows a lot of stuff that other people don't and in this game she kind of flaunts that information in the face of people because they might have like religious beliefs and they have cults and they have their culture and she's like no that's garbage You know, I've read how it really is. Have you seen this? That's a computer. You're an idiot. That's kind of the new Aloy. I think that's a fun thing. She's been around now. She knows that. I kind of love it. Yeah, okay, retards, listen up. So this is how it is. You know that stuff, the sun god or whatever? Yeah, that's a radio disc. Just, you know, whatever. I can just turn it off by pushing this button here.

00:32:59see i just killed your god okay so let's do this my way now that's kind of the new aloy uh and it's pretty cool like she has really come a long way from the first game i mean she was always a strong character don't get me wrong but now she's like a strong character that knows stuff which is yeah uh we should also say that from everything that i took away from this game and the hunches from a lot of people that played it this feels like very much part two out of three There might even be more, but it's definitely not the last game in the Horizon series. So Aloy will be back, perhaps even more snarky, if possible. Probably. Yeah, because now he's even more experienced, obviously. Anyway, most people gave these glowing reviews, and all the people I've talked to that played this game loved it, and thought it did everything that the first game did, but better. And the first game was pretty well beloved.

00:33:58uh across the board so yeah if you have once again if you have a ps5 because this is the only way you can play this game right now it's one of those exclusive games that i'm not really a fan of because it if you're a gamer it's kind of bums you out that you have to wait for a couple years to play a game a game is good but yeah but that's also what makes it so beautiful and it runs so smoothly it looks spectacular it does it does it um I mean, for a couple of days, people said, like, this game is the most beautiful game ever. And then Elden Ring came out. So now there's two games looking really, really good. But we already knew that before that was going to happen. Yeah, we did. But it's definitely up there, way up there. So if you're into post-apocalypse fantasy-esque worlds with a dash of sci-fi, this might be the game. And even if you're not into that, like, this might still be the game.

00:34:57Because it's a really good adventure action game. And me and Oskar actually tried to beat the first game over one night. Yeah, that was kind of stupid. We were ambitious. I'll give us that. And we tried. We tried, damn it. But I think we didn't get that far. But we had fun. In our defense, we had fun. Do you think you'll try this at some point, Oskar? When it's out on PC, maybe? Yeah. yeah for sure i do let's say put it this way i do kind of liked the first game but it was not that like super hooked that many others were on it no and i don't think it was the game itself it's maybe was just a setting or in the time and place when i played it or whatever but um for sure yeah I can agree with you. When we first tried it out, I was like, yeah, this is a really good game. And then I didn't play it for a year. And then I went back and I was like, oh, wow, this was actually a really good game. Sometimes you just have to pick up a game at the correct time for you to enjoy it. It's kind of weird. We should talk to a gaming psychologist about that. If there's such a profession. There should be.

00:36:14That would be an awesome podcast. It really would be a cool thing because I think I've done that numerous times. When I pick a game, it's like, nah. And then I return to it some years later and it's like, this was awesome. Why didn't I like this the first time around? Or what is the point where you start to watch a Let's Play and then you kind of, nah, it's not worth playing it for real anymore. Yeah, I mean, there's... That's definitely a theme for a show. The games that are better as a let's play than as a game for you to play. And there's a lot of those games, I would say. A lot of games that I've really enjoyed watching that I've never played, ever. So that's pretty cool. But that's not what we're here to talk about today. We don't have an abundance of time left, so we probably have to mention Elden Ring.

00:37:11Yeah, for sure. And as we all know, George R.R. Martin has been a big something in this game. I actually looked up what it is that he supposedly did. Okay. World building. Oh, wow, yeah. And what exactly does that mean? Because if you played Souls games, it's not like there is a story in the sense of... how it usually is you find like a lot of lore scattered around in tomes or you have find an item and it has a little description you fight some bosses so maybe he's been into all that this boss has a sword and it says like this sword was owned by sven maybe that's what he did or something i don't know but it's enigmatic yeah it's it's a bit of a mystery but if it turns out that whatever he did made this game as good as this i mean then of course you get some kudos because this game is pretty awesome that would be it would be very interesting to have like a sliding door moment for this game yep to know what it would be like if he was not involved yeah take out his stuff it would be like yeah that that hat is gone now yeah then then be like okay this is what i thought but yeah because yeah i mean if they worked in a lot of lore from him

00:38:34then they've done it in a way that you don't notice it it's very subtle it's cool so anyway small recap this is from software's new game and from software have done all the souls games so if you are at all familiar with those games this is like the epitome of of that brand you could say or or that format so it's a lot larger it's a lot more beautiful It's very much free roaming. And yeah, it's equally as tough as all the other games. So you'll die a lot. A lot. Yes. That's just how it is. But you won't age. No. Well, you will in real life. Yes. That would be very noticeable after a while. And you might die a little on the inside when you face up against some tough bosses. But other than that, I've actually seen a lot of people go through the game once.

00:39:31and immediately start another one because this it's such a big game and you can have different type of characters now and uh yeah a lot of people have said that it's such a variety of ways you can play this game so it's actually you won't get bored playing it back to back and and there's not a lot of games i would do that with it i don't think i've ever done that to be honest be the game and then immediately start it up again no no And maybe not immediately, definitely not. Well, I kind of did when we are, not the first time, but at least when we did the section of like a homage to speed running, for example, for Mega Man X. I mean, speed running is by definition repetition. So that does make sense. But have you ever done, for instance, let's say a Far Cry game, and then when you're just done with it,

00:40:28yeah let's do another one no but i know that we did it several times with super mario 64 because there were more stars to catch true true so if you have some kind of incentive yeah i would say that's british that is true and and that's what they did they they made reasons to play it again so kudos and my hats off to from software i will play this game at some point yes i will i'm not sure when though because it seems to be like a really really big game and yeah that's that's kind of all i have to base that on it's a lot of hours i get other games to play as well yeah it's tough and then just watch the rest i i actually think that this is a game that is fun to watch but it's equally as fun to play i think the experience is very different though exactly you can watch this and then play it and have a totally different experience yeah

00:41:25feeling like it's not almost almost not the same game even yeah i would be so upset if all the other guys were better well yeah well i suck at this game that's how i feel every time i watch it let's play oh that's depressing and on that note we are actually at the very end of this episode three of the state of gaming first of 2022 third overall But we'll get there in the end. Yeah. So usually this is the moment when I pass an object of choice over to Oscar to end off the show. But seeing as that doesn't really translate to English very well, I'll just say take it away. I could just say that it's nice to be back and we will keep up the good work and make sure that this will be monthly now and not like...

00:42:22Long stretch. So I just say take care, be safe, and see you in a month. Bye-bye. Talk to you later. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
