Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Are We in a Golden Age of Gaming?”.
All I ask is no spoilers in chat. You might just want to not reach out for a bit, because people are going to hear that and then purposely try to spoil I’m going to close chat yeah. So there’s no point doing it because I’m not going to see it yeah both my chats are closed. Boom you’re done yep um, okay.
So then what can we say? Because I am one of those people who I I am obsessive about, knowing absolutely nothing about a piece of media that I know I’m going to consume I’ve. I read one article about sea of stars. It went on my two playlist um. I think the notes that are in the dock right now are fine. Okay, I’ll read through it yeah sea of stars released this week for uh to a great deal of excitement, given its visual in thematic similarity to jrpgs of jrpg Classics of the past.
Like Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger reviews have praised its Maps word building. I think it’s World building. I like word building, though it’s probably true enough uh World building, Combat Characters, music and story, and then there’s just discussion, questions wow, there’s not much more than that. All the notes, I’m like a big part of the motivation for me to finally pick up chained Echoes – was that I’ve had this list of these.
You know classic jrpg inspired games to play. That’S been kind of building up, as some of them have come out here. I got ta, I got ta check. What’S on my list now, are we entering a better era of gaming and dang tootin? It seems like it.
I think we maybe have been here for a little bit and it took me until pretty much now to accept it and realize it uh, because I was traumatized from games for years um but yeah. I think things are good. I think things are good right now, like the amount of bangers coming out is actually like crazy in no particular order. Here are some of the games that are on my I I absolutely must play um Destroy All Humans.
Dragon Quest 11. play that Chinese game. That’S basically breath of the wild. That’S hilarious, genjin.
I wrote this a lot down a long time ago. I probably won’t based on that. I didn’t like breath of the wild too, or rather that it didn’t suck me in um uh play fantasian, which I made it a lot of the way through until I reached like kind of some Mobile gaming stupid like QC issues or like I shouldn’t call them Quality control he did crash a fair bit on my Apple TV, but um more like um QA, like like game testing, uh game testing issues, uh project triangle thing on switch uh Bravely Default 2, which I have checked off. It takes two TIE fighter total conversion. Sea of stars, so sea of stars has been on here since, before rise of the third power arafel Titanfall 2 single player risk of rain, two uh stray. Oh I’ve played that cool frame. Two did you play Risk of Rain one? No, I don’t know if you’re gon na care about risk of rain, too Barrington recommended that I play it with you, so I don’t know me make of that what you will yeah um reach the future Final Fantasy Tactics, mod. That sounds cool.
I’Ve totally forgotten about that that Final Fantasy game for Android – oh, oh, this is super cool. I found an article about this on somewhere and they were like hey, remember that Final Fantasy game, that absolutely nobody ever talked about and was basically the very end of good mobile games. It’S called Final Fantasy Dimensions. It’S heavily inspired by Final Fantasy V is like uh, like a Sprite, pixel art style, Final Fantasy game, no microtransaction crap, you just like buy it for 14 or whatever it is.
You play it on your Android device and um and then microtransaction hell happened, and that was it that was like. That was like the end, but it’s still out there. You can still get it yeah. It was 3.6 Stars, it’s very true to the older games.
There’S some quality of life stuff but apparent I haven’t, played it yet, but apparently it’s like very old style and maybe not everyone, maybe not everyone, would like that Dimensions. Yeah. I searched Final Fantasy Dimensions. The first thing that came up was Final, Fantasy b-e-w-o-t-v.
I have no idea. The next thing is Final: Fantasy Dimensions. I don’t know why it’s second and it’s rated, much more highly yeah. What’S what’s the star rating uh 4.3 yeah, okay for a mobile app is like that’s great um local co-op game grounded Max Payne. I still haven’t played a single Max Payne game, uh pixel Cup Soccer, Max Payne’s, good chained Echoes. Oh I’m gon na check that off I’m on the final dungeon. I’Ve played enough of that um 8-bit Adventures, the Forgotten journey and sequel octopath traveler, I still haven’t, played octopath path traveler.
This is an interesting little. So that’s my list, that’s my list of stuff that I will play darn. It Final Fantasy Dimensions, 4.3 Stars, Final, Fantasy Dimensions, two 2.6 Stars. Well yeah. I should just you know what I should do is I should just let the community like order, my games, I’m not gon na.
Let them pick games because they probably will have a hard time picking games that I would actually get into and enjoy um. But if I just like took my game order and they were just like yeah just play them in this order, then I could just just always not think about it, because, honestly, Choice, paralysis is a huge problem for me. Oh that’s probably me. I’M back on my old note, nine and I think dude.
It’S also contributing to the interference this time, Oh shoot. No, that was on the list. I just didn’t say it, because you already knew that one you said order, though oh was it on the list. Yeah, did I say it? Okay, I thought I skipped it.
Sorry, um fart, muncher, 69 420 asks. Have you tried Final Fantasy VI. There are some things I worry about with you. I can’t tell if you’re memeing or not where I like I’ve, been trying to get him to watch one particular movie for like actually like 13 years or something yeah and my sister’s been trying to get me to watch. Um uh Fanboys you’ve also been trying to get me to watch hackers, which I I intend to watch them. I really do I just yeah, except it’s been 13 years time to consume media. The problem is at this point when he finally watches it, it’s gon na be impossible for it to live up to whatever hype. This is, I don’t consider your recommendation that hype and then fall Titanfall 2, I’m kidding I’m kidding, Titanfall 2 is like I I just.
I don’t it’s a fantastic single player, shooter game, but we’ve been talking about it for years now. So like I’ll I’ll enjoy it, don’t even don’t even worry. I don’t know if it’s anywhere near as good as fear, then I’ll enjoy the crap out of it and it probably is very different game, but it doesn’t have like good gun play yeah and any interesting mechanics. Yes, then I’ll be fine, all right, yeah yeah, I’m not that I’m not actually that picky um, it’s just you know what the big challenge is.
Is that it’s really hard? I mean you watch it at my computer. If you watch Blackberry before Pirates of Silicon Valley, I’m actually gon na be pissed, what’s Blackberry, good, what that’s? What I’m saying am I supposed to know what Blackberry is not particularly? Oh, my goodness it’s my phone for sure, Blackberry movie. I’Ve watched The Social Network. I watched that before Pirates of Silicon Valley you, like that no it’s a silent one, but I farted. No, I saw you do the lips. Someone said Blackberry is good yeah and you know what it it like takes: a lot of inspiration from Pirates of soccer Valley. Oh, my God, anyways sorry, oh, is the is the is the name of the stream on float plane, wrong bias, Debbie roon Kyle’s day. You might need uh, you might need to refresh oh okay.
Maybe I’ve had it open since, before the oh yeah, there we go. Okay, good job Dan um cool there we go yeah that was uh. That was a stream we ran today um every time someone bought a stubby screwdriver, it would make a noise in Kyle’s office and then we had a live stream running of his office um.
That was float plane exclusive. Apparently they did some q a and stuff on it as well. That’S cool! So that’s yeah, that’s pretty cool! It was inspired by Puget systems.
When we did the tour there, they have uh like a Gong that goes off in their warehouse. Every time someone buys a computer which I imagine you know when you’re selling, you know three for ten thousand dollar computers. They do a lot of really high-end workstations and stuff. There uh probably doesn’t go off that often for a you know, still very sustainable. You know profitable company or whatever, whereas when you’re talking like a sixty dollar screwdriver on launch day, it was going off basically continuously for quite a while there uh, apparently Kyle, did not get any work done today according to float plane chat, that’s amazing! That makes sense. That’S okay.
His work was to entertain you guys. I have watched antitrust by the way, uh good for you, I know come on, I’m messing with him a lot today. It’S been a lot, I’m like actually kind of that’s a long weekend. I’M feeling spicy I’m feeling spicy today.
