Not this game again? Well, today will probably be, so today will probably be the last day that we played this game a lot. Yeah, thank goodness, this game's dick. Everybody, everybody hates this game. Is that it? Is it that bad? What game? What do you mean? Let me see. Okay, let me go find somebody to go kill. Let's see. This guy is level 29. Maybe I can go fight him, but let's go over here. Yeah, let's go kill. this bitch right here that's easy yeah all these are really easy let's go do these these are all 29s and stuff okay uh where is it 3,000 meters away play the ysukee simulator i might play the ysukee simulator tomorrow i haven't decided where to go oh it's over there i see it okay um okay give me a minute i got to get out of the uh the hostile area

okay can wait for kazan yeah yeah uh kazan is gonna be tomorrow right? I think it is. I think it comes out on the 23rd, if I remember it correctly. Is that, is that right? 27. What comes out on 23? 27th. Okay. Yeah, what releases early on the 23rd or 24th? Okay, so then we'll play Yusuke Simulator tomorrow then. Okay, let's go kill this guy. We'll finish this off stream. I probably will because it seems like it's a pretty long game. But like my opinions on the game, I pretty much made pretty clear. Like, I think they, game is uh I think it's a solid six or a seven right I mean that that's that's my opinion on the game I don't think it's amazing or like this great super awesome game I don't think it's awful and

the terrible failure of a game either I just think it's kind of a midgame where it's okay but that's about all it is okay assassinate the concubine okay Why is she, why is she attacking? Why am I getting attacked? There we go. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Jesus. These guys are just getting destroyed. All right. Fuck yeah. Okay, that was fucking easy. What does this loser want? See what happens. Fucking got them.

Okay. Um, so, dead. All right, next. Let's go find where this bitch is. 6,000 meters away. Wakasa. What the fuck is Wakasa? Oh, I got to go all the way over there.

Holy fuck. Okay, is there any way I can get kind of close to that? Yeah, I can get over to here. That's not so bad. Hardest difficulty? Yes, it is. What's up with the hate about this game? I'm a casual, big audience.

Players understand it. It looks good. The game, as I said, I think that for the amount of money and time that was spent on this game, it should be better than Blackmuth Wukong. And it's not. It really, like, I'm enjoying it? No, no, no.

If, like, I'm enjoying playing the game, sure. But, like, me enjoying playing the game, that doesn't necessarily mean the game is, like, perfect or, like, super good, right? Like, the reality is, like, I am a video game enjoyer. I enjoy playing video games. So, as long as the game isn't, like, punitive. or annoying to play, I'll probably come and play the game. Like, I spend pretty much all of my free time playing video games.

I really like playing video games. I just really enjoy it. And so, let me make sure, where do I go? I go down this pathway right here. Okay, actually, let me just go do this. I'm going to just put it right there. And there's two other quests I can do on over there, too. Yeah, so that's the reality, right?

I just like playing games. and so um I think I'm going the right way aren't I it says Pathfinder on where's Pathfinder Okay I see now I get it There we go You need a better mount

I don't know about that Oops You're gonna play the PUE next patch I have a lot of other games I want to play instead I don't know if I will or not If I do I'm gonna play a warrior I'm just gonna try my best to to make it work

to run a rowman A ronit? Why is this guy hitting me? This one carried a letter. Hmm. So we're being hunted by Mitsuhidaz running. Oh. I will have to be careful on the roads.

Oh. All right. Let's go this way. Still playing? Yeah, I know. I'm still playing this. I feel like after farming it for so many hours for content, I kind of have to. I should have played veil guard more.

Yeah, and dude. And also, you know what I'm doing? I'm building up, I'm building up for the ghost of Toshima stream. You know? Because like after a few of these games come out, I think like, you know, maybe mid-April, I'm not going to have a lot going on with other games. And like, then I just go and I do that. Yeah, we're building.

Yeah, exactly, right? Let's see if it's any good. You're building up the hate for this game as all? I don't think I'm building up the hate. I think that I'm probably the only person that's giving it a fair shake. As usual, by the way. uh every all that's just always how it is i'm the only person that's fair and everybody else is biased and wrong but you know that's just what happens i don't really take it personally and most

humble there's another one so what happens if i kill these guys like did they give me anything for killing them let me see if i can get anything good from this guy oh it's only 15 experience that's nothing okay yeah fuck this i'm not going to do that again at all See how this is a better stealth, but uh, combat? Royal game point? Yeah, I don't know. Wait, oh shit. These guys are bullies. It's okay, I'm gonna save you, sir.

I saved them. Thank you for defending. Yes. If there is anything that you need, I am entirely at your disposal. I am looking for information. Perhaps you can help. Information?

So what happened to the information? He just said nothing. He didn't help me or do anything. What the fuck? Okay. It's on your map? Is it really? I don't know. Miss the epic sex scene? No, actually, that's still on the table, though.

Because I've sent for this one girl, who's apparently the descendant or the ancestor of 18 Japanese emperors. So I'm going to, uh, I'm gonna hook up with her. And that way, Yusuke is of emperor. Like, all emperors are now descendants of Yusuke. According to the game. That's right. I know, it might be surprising, guys, but that's just the way it is.

Yeah. But you're gay? No, I can, I'm bisexual. I'm, what's that, pansexual? I'm gay for anything. Gay for women and gay for men. That's normal. right? Freddy Mercury? Yeah. Yeah, I'm like Freddie Mercury, exactly.

You have sex with pots? Oh, I mean, I don't know. I mean, people... Stranger things have happened. Not with me, just in general. Don't argue with experts. It's historically accurate? Yeah, I could tell that. Yeah, what, what are you? A historical expert? You fucking bigot. What do you mean? What do you mean you don't think it's accurate? In your opinion, who's the sexiest man alive? Henry Cavill. life. Lined up to bring food. Where are they going? So what are all these guys doing? Oh fuck, it's the bell areas. Shit. Who's this cock sucker here? What's everybody doing? I'm out-leveled. I didn't know I was out-leveled in this area. So I just have to do the quest by itself then.

That's fine. I'll just go do that. Finally, expert difficulty? Let me find it. Okay, I just, let me just, I'm going to run in there. I'm just going to fucking kill this guy. Okay? Level 41? I'm going to do it. I'm going to try and go for it.

He must be forcing the people to fuck. I'm running. I'm running. It's fine. We're going to run in and we're going to kill this guy. It's going to be no problem. Even if they ring the bell on me, it won't matter. Okay. Go for it?

I am. I'm going for it. Okay. We have to kill this guy. Did you say a sucking cock? No! An honor to fight you. Okay.

Okay, what can I do? All right, let me think about this. I'm gonna give it one more shot. Endur Rico, a daikon from Kumar's list. I'll give it one more shot. If I can't do it, I'm done. You got a ninja this? No, I don't.

Maybe you have to ninja this. I don't need to ninja shit. Guys. Guys, this isn't working. This is not working. Okay, let's just go and get this fucking viewpoint and then leave. Really? Like, I mean, we're not... We're not...

We're not going anywhere with this. Damn one shot. No, the way the game's designed is that... If you fight against a, like an NPC that's higher level, it just instantly kills you in like one hit. Like there's not even like a, there's not like anything that you can even really do about it. You're just like instantly dead.

That's how it always works. I think that's so dumb. I do. I think that's so stupid. I hate it. I like it whenever you can fight monsters like earlier on if you have worse gear, right? Like an Eldon Ring, if you fight Tree Sentinel right at the beginning.

It just takes longer. Just don't get hit. No, I don't like the damage. scaling. I did the same thing in Dragon's Dogma 1 with attack power too. There's a lot of games that have like they force really contrived scaling systems and I don't like it. I'll just take one each time. No, no. I can't do what I was going to do. We've got to just go up and get this waypoint and then we need to leave because this place is no joke. I thought since there were a bunch of level 30 guys over here it would be okay but I guess not. Because I'm level 29.

I'm pretty sure level 41 is crazy I didn't even know it went up that high actually I think somewhere it said the level 60 was the high oh no oh no okay look let's just let me just fucking pussy out man I'm gonna just pussy out we're just gonna use it we're gonna we're gonna play the girl yeah we'll play the girl I'm sorry guys holy fuck that's a big one this is a ass fucking castle. Get up there, bitch. What are you doing? Okay, what level is this area? So this area is also level 41. What the fuck is this? I'm just going to go up there and do it. It's the easiest game of my life, by the one. See that? That's how winners play the game. Wow. Wow. Use the credit card, katana. This should actually

make something like that that would be a good idea play some more monster you guys want me to play monster hunter again uh I really want to like I've I've done everything in the game I want to get my next weapon ready my Ardian weapon for for great sword what's this flag for oh hey hey um okay let's run I'm good I'm good I'm good game on my life, by the way. Okay, we're good. Why am I not getting my health back? Okay, now I am. All right, let me look again. Okay, so we can't kill this cock sucker at all. What about the hedonist? Can I kill this guy? This is a little 28 area. I think I can kill this guy. Yeah, I think we can get his ass. Okay, give me a minute. Let me put a marker down nearby.

Pathfinder. Fucking trees. Is the Yasuke hip-hop music in the game? Dude, in the last boss trailer, or the last boss fight, the music that's played, I can't even say what the music is. No, I can't. I'm gonna get in trouble. I can't even say what it sounds like. I, I'm gonna, I'm gonna get, yeah, not gonna happen.

Sorry. Suss music? Yeah. We've seen it? It's just, it's just ridiculous. It's like you think about like an amalgamation of hip hop, like Asian, like folk music and like rap. And you put all that together.

It's, yeah, trap music, yeah. It's so bad. Careful what you're saying? Yeah, sure. Chinese rap? I don't know. I don't know what Chinese rap even is. I've never heard of that.

So is the game really good? No. No. It's a 1 out of 10 game. It's a 6 or a 7. I think that the game has some positives and it also has negatives. Like the fact that you can't kill the deer is a negative. It's stupid.

Why can't you kill the deer? You can pet a dog, but you can't kill the deer. What do you think people that want to play games where you kill people want to do more? Pet dogs or kill deer. Definitely kill deer. You should be able to kill deer and salvage their body parts for rations. It's stupid that you can't. Like sex now, I'm just being honest, right? You could be for it.

It's like I hate this pussy. Like any game where you can't kill animals, I immediately assume it's a pussy game. I do. Look at all these assholes here. Holy fuck. Good assumption? Yeah, true. You can hunt in a previous Assassin's Creed games? Yeah, now, well, instead of that now, now you can draw a picture of them. Ooh, horseback riding. I'm going to do this. Do I have to be Yusukee for this? Let me see. Okay, it's for, it's for Gigachads only.

Give me a second. Assassin's Creed everything, you hunt Tone and Runny? Yeah, it's a good idea. Yeah, I know what this is. Yeah, I know how this is. What? Okay, so I got to hit six targets. Let's do it.

What? I'm gonna catch up. Wait, I'm out of arrows. Focus. Ignore restrictions. I didn't know you could run out. Shut up. If you want to improve, come back for more place. Shut up.

I didn't know that, I didn't know it was going to be like that. Yes. Okay. I will not miss. Let me guess. I had to kill both of them with the, it's over. It's over. Okay, I did get six.

To be fair, I got six. I didn't know I'd run out of arrows so fast. What the fuck? Do not pluck the bull. You have the makings of a good archer. Shut up. Do you want to... Yes.

Listen. Okay. Only with the target painted on him? Okay. I'm doing it exactly how you guys want me to do it, okay? Shut up, shut up. Shut up. You have the makings of a good archer.

Keep practicing. Do you? Yes. I can do this. I am a legendary samurai warrior. That one doesn't have one on it, right? Fucking got him. Fucking got him with an arrow to spare.

Alright. See guys? I told you I could do it. Yes. You could stand among legends one day. I know. I know. Okay. Where's my dog? There it is.

First try? Yeah, I know. It's crazy, right? Wow. I think this is the right way. I'm not sure. But yeah, anyway, you know, for me, I just like playing games. And so, like, if a game is, like, fun to play and it's relaxing and I can just show out in game, then I'm going to do it. And I think that games like that are totally fine. Like, I generally, um, one thing that really makes me bounce off of games really fast is, like, negative progress.

Like any game where you have and you can make like large amounts of negative progress, I usually end up quitting that game because it's just like it makes me feel like I'm wasting my time a lot. And I'm like, okay, well, what am I really doing this for? Like, why am I doing this? And then before you know it, like I'm just kind of, you know, I'm like over it, you know? What if I was negative progress? Like losing experience when you die. Like it would be the same as like imagine if you lose a certain amount of. souls every time you die on a boss in Dark Souls rather than you only can lose the souls one time. So like I'm okay with there being a punishment for death, but like if if I get, if I have to like

repeat behavior and like repeat my actions every time that I die, then I usually get tired of it because it feels boring. P.O.E. Yeah, I've quit POE because of the death penalty a lot, actually. I just don't like games to do that. It makes me feel like I'm getting my time wasted intentionally. I know like maybe that might not make sense to everybody, but like that's the way it makes me feel. And so when I play a game like that, I just kind of lose interest really quickly. It's tough. Yeah, yeah, I just don't find it fun. Oh, actually, let me do this.

I forgot I have my other weapon. Okay, here we go. What an idiot! What a dumb idiot! Wow! Oh, we're getting everybody now. Okay. Let's do it.

What's he parrying for? I just keep hitting them. It's a big deal. Oh, right. Dude, look at all these guys. Oh my god. What the fuck out of here? Get the fuck out of here. What you doing? Health on hit. Oh, that's big dick. Can I replace engravings, by the way? Bro, the beat goes hard. Yeah, your goddamn right. What's this? Oh, okay. What's in here? Nothing. Okay, great. And these are civilians. I'm not allowed to kill them. I can kill this one though. Oh god, I love this. Okay. Um, all right. Yeah, he's a fucking savage man. Okay, I've got to do this castle. Okay, how do I get in there?

I guess we can go in through here. Wait, what level is this castle actually? Okay, I can actually do this castle. this one. That's a shock. Where's the guys? There's one. There's one right there. Let's go after him. Right now. Why? Get up there, Fatty. Jesus. These guys just getting destroyed. You want to do a little bit of that? All right, let's do it. Okay. That was easy. What's this white thing over here? What the fuck are you doing? Fuck. That was a mistake. Oh, he's over there. He's over there. Okay, we gotta go after him. Come on fat boy. Come on. There you go. There you go. Let me kill this guy real quick.

This recovers health whenever I deal damage with it. Makes it extremely good. What? Oh, what the hell is he doing over there? Got him. Oh! Oh! Get out of my life! Okay, that was fucking easy. I'm just gonna ignore that. It doesn't even matter. Okay.

Mix bag, it's okay? Yeah, I mean, there's some things about it that are good, some that are bad. It's just one of those things. Okay, now we've gotta go up there. Well, that's gonna be hard. Okay. Wait, why? Wait, you mean I can't break the door down?

Why not? What the fuck? Okay, so because I'm fat Oh, this is going to cause me a lot of problems Okay, I have to go up to here, right? I can't. I actually can't do it. He's...

I'm soft locked. Yeah, he's too fat. I can't even do it. Give me a minute. Let me go around. Okay. I'm going to go outside real quick. We're just going to kill him. everybody here. It's not a deal. Okay. I gotta hide from this guy. He doesn't know where I am.

What the fuck? Where's this guy coming from? Okay. Where do these guys keep coming? This is crazy. Okay, now? Am I good now? Yes. Okay, I have to, I have to play as the girl, guys. I'm sorry. There's nothing else I can do. Let's go. Uh, how do I get over there? Okay. To be fair, like, the way that she moves is, like, never mind. Never mind. Yeah, this is O-P as fuck. Wait, I can swing.

Wait, I have to swing? What? Just go up there. Just go up the castle. What are you doing? There, finally. Okay. Now we got it.

I don't know what the hell that was. The shit game. I'll give a minute. Easy. Easy. Wow Wow What an easy game

First try? Yeah, I know Okay, who else do I have to kill? Okay, objectos And there should be one more of these guys, right? Okay, not this guy Oh, no, it's just this guy Okay, good, all right, let me go back over and look at him

In Doombo, Tussombo Okay, let's go ahead and do this. Where is he? He's 8,000 miles away. He's in the level 35 area, man. I don't know if that's the right decision. I'm afraid that if I go and I do that, he's going to get me. Level 50?

Oh my God. Okay, let's do this one. Damn. I'll do the main quest. This is one of the main quests. Wait, can you buy experience in this game too? It'll be less trouble if I stay out of sight. I'm good. I'm good.

Yes? Oh my god. How do you have a single player game that you can buy experience in? Shouldn't there just be like, it's just, it's so stupid. It's a booster. That's so dumb. I built a house in my, my encampment that's supposed to like make me do that faster. Actually, give me my answer's bathroom. Okay. Greed? Yeah, true.

It's buying mats for housing? yeah, they have that as well. Look at her, she's ugly? She's not ugly? I don't think Noway's unattractive. I don't think either of the characters are unattractive, honestly. I mean, they should have given her bigger boobs, for sure. Like 100%.

But, like, I don't think she's unattractive. Yeah, she's cute. Yeah, yeah, she's fine. Okay. What the fuck? Uh, um, um, uh, Okay. Alright, no, we're good, we're good.

Okay, I'll go turn this on. Son of a bitch. Jesus. Fucking piece of shit. Okay, let's go to this guy. I think this is the right way. It's gotta be, right? Yeah.

That's dumb. You can't even kill birds. Yeah, I know. It's like this weird, like, uh, I don't even know, like, uh, I don't even know, like, it's just weird. It's like, wow did the same thing. Where it was like, you had to do quests, but it was like saving the birds instead of killing them. I was like, what the fuck?

What the hell is that? I got 30 keys. Nice. Okay. Please give this to someone who needs it more, son. Oh. I am too weak. Which is why you must eat.

You have to stay strong. Hmm. Who was that woman? A survivor of the massacre at Anjolson. The only family she had left was her grandson. And now he's gone too. Did you find anything useful in Hirayama? The lead was solid.

We found the ox's battle plans for Miki Castle. Hirayama was once Hideyoshi's base of operations. It makes sense the ox would have repurposed the camp. Some of the ox's soldiers run young. To Besho Harumasa, anyone willing to pick up a sword and march under his banner. So we got to kill kids? Damn. He's like Joseph Coney.

Are just peasants lured in by his talks of justice. His enemies will hesitate to kill them. Not all his men believe in his cause. I heard of one who went against him and nearly lost his life before escaping. Perhaps he could convince his fellow conscripts to step aside. Show me those plans you found.

They might have a clue on how to proceed. Ah, Miki Castle is nearly impregnable. Nothing goes in or out without Harumasa's permission. What about his supplies? Surely he doesn't know the exact details of every shipment that gets delivered to the castle. A man called the Hiromichi oversees these. He has no loyalty to the ox, to anyone but his own wealth, really. Can Hiromichi be trusted?

No, he cannot. But we are short to. of options. Damn. You will need to strike down the ox where he stands. Disarm the ox, then slip a knife past his guard. That's how we kill him and his movement. When you are ready, seek me out at my safe house in Mickeyar Castle Town.

Okay. We will plan the final assault from there. The decoration is hard to miss. My way of hiding in plain view of the ox is a man. Oh. Let me see here. Where the fuck is this? Do I still have to talk to that guy?

Let me see if I do or not. Fuck, I do. Shit. Okay. So I have to kill all the rest of these too. And these are the ones that I still haven't done yet. There's a lot of these guys to fucking kill, man. Yeah, it's a whole lot.

What about this one? Where's this one? Well, I can actually go do that. Okay, let me go do this one. Gamsus NewsFest. I would say that... Okay, so... You know, obviously I played it a lot on stream. I think that people are, you know, kind of like...

Everybody kind of knows what the game is at this point. But my thoughts on the game, I can give kind of, like... I've been playing it a little bit offstream and, like, just, you know, like leveling up and doing a few, like, side missions and everything. I think that like I think the game is like it does some things that don't matter very well and it does some things that do matter not very well so like for example

I think it does a very good job with like the graphics and the like the level design I think the level design and the graphics are decent but the problem though however is that a lot of the like for example like a lot of the castles, like every castle pretty much plays the same. And this is like, this has been a big issue with a lot of games, is that like, a lot of games have like pretty much the same paradigm and the same end game loop, or sorry, sorry, the same game loop at like level 15, let's say, uh, that it does at

level 50, where it's basically like you doing the same stuff over and over. And that, I think, is kind of boring. It's very boring, in my opinion. You're the level, designer on a better game. Well, I think that like the world design is really good. But like, for example, the level design for the castles is pretty, it's pretty one-dimensional, right? Because like every castle is you kill the elites and then you open the box. That's it. That's it. That's the whole game. You kill the elites and you open the box. And that's not really like super exciting. Let me just go ahead and put it right there. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, that's really just not very super exciting. And I think to me, that matters a lot because... Am I going to right way, then? Okay, I think... Yeah, I am. Almost every modern Assassin's Creed is rinse and repeat. Well, that's fine. I mean, if you want to say it's all rinse and repeat, that's okay. But my opinion is still going to be the same. So why is still playing it?

it's boring. So you might be asking that. The reason why is because I play a lot of video, like, in order to understand why I'm still playing the game, you have to understand why I play games. I don't really play games for, like, in a lot of cases, the story or anything. I usually play video games as, like, a form of relaxation.

Like, I play video games to relax, and so a lot of, kind of, like, mid... And that's the reason why, like, I don't mind playing some mid-games is because, like, I can just play them and just chill out and not really give a fuck. And that's a big reason why I've been okay playing, like, kind of, like, gotcha games doing, like, completion of some stuff in a gotcha game or whatever. But, like, you know, for example, like, the visuals, like, this is a really, really great-looking visual. Like, I would say this is a 10 out of 10 visual. Like, it's unironically, like, this is state-of-the-art. Like, there are other games that do it this well, but very few games.

Basically, no games do it better. And so, like, there are good things about the game. It's not like they're all bad. But at the same time, there's a lot to be desired. And I think that also a lot of the gameplay loops and everything are very similar to each other. And whenever I go through and I'm playing at a higher level, I'm not really doing a whole lot different than when I'm, whenever I was at a lower level.

And I think that one of the big weaknesses that a lot of games have is that they don't really feel dynamic in a way that you level up and become more powerful and better over time. And then that gives you the opportunity to take on new challenges that are different and unique. Whereas I think this game basically just gives you the same challenges that you do. And like, for example, like, well, like Blackmeth Wukong is a great example of like you getting new weapons

and new tools in order to solve new problems. And I think there's other examples like, you know, Legend of Zelda, usually you use different tools and weapons in order to fight bosses and usually, like, get the weapon in there. Avowed take all over again? Uh, yeah, no, actually Avowed had a very similar problem. I will come back. Oh, fuck, it's at night? Ah, shit.

Okay. Let me at least do one more. So, yeah. that hallo lets you skip time it's formulaic so corporas can can divide the work yeah like I'll give you an example of like kind of what I mean by that

let me just actually I'm gonna get off my mount I just want to show like kind of some of my because I'm gonna take a break I have some other things I need to do today so like I didn't really plan on playing for a very long time because I've been streaming like kind of late

for a number of days and there's some other things they need to take care of but I did want to give like some thoughts about the game and talk about it because we've got like maybe 10 minutes or so five minutes

so I think that the I'm going to just move this down too. I think that the like leveling system and everything is the fact that the monsters that are higher level instantly kill you and they have like level scaling to where like your damage and also

their damage is like scaled to where like they just insta kill you if you're going in a too high of a level zone. I find that to be like a very boring form of difficulty and it's not interesting or fun at all. It just sucks. I don't. don't like that. I think that the weapons here, the, it's interesting because I think that these

perks, these engravings, are really good buffs. And each buff here, I think, is actually relatively interesting, especially whenever you get into the blue and the legendary weapons and the buffs that they can provide. I think that that's really good. But the weapon DPS and posture DPS and ability damage and crippled damage, none of these numbers really matter other than really weapon DPS. And so whenever I look at something like this, it doesn't really feel like it's adding anything really into the game, and it just seems like it's numbers for the sake of

numbers. And, you know, like, the weapons are all pretty much the same. You also get a bunch of different random weapons. I think that you should be able to like disenchant the weapons into materials, because I do think that getting materials for your hideout is a little bit too annoying to do. You have to, like, go and do it on your own. And I feel like the reason why that's the case is because they want to

entice you into buying them on the store, which I think is the most cringe, annoying shit. You can. Well, I mean, I have to do it somewhere else, right? Yeah, I'm just trying to, I'm trying to understand it. You have to do it the blacksmith, right? Yeah, or something else. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. No, I'm saying like you could just do it from your inventory, right?

But yeah, I guess being able to do it from there is, I guess, kind of good. So, yeah, the weapons, I think, are kind of boring in a way. And the armor, I think, follows pretty much the same paradigm, where the armor doesn't really offer a whole lot of unique gameplay or unique function. It's just kind of like, okay, you have this armor and this armor does this thing. But in a general sense, like, I don't really think it's amazing at all. It's just kind of like whatever. And I same with the numbers, like critical damage, vulnerable damage.

Like everything like these, the reason why it doesn't matter is because you'll never probably like 99% of players will never make a decision based off of anything except for this top number. That's it. Is the green number on the top that gives me more health going to be better? Yes. Okay, well, then I'm going to use it. So it just seems like these other numbers are like cosmetic bonuses and they don't really add a lot of gameplay or anything like that. Then if you look at like the amulets and everything, like again, all of these secondary engravings are interesting, but everything else besides that, like I have a level 11. And then I also have a legendary level 24, and it's only 2% more damage, right? It's like basically nothing in terms of a change. And so the only thing that really matters is your engraving, which I think is kind of boring.

If I look at the masteries, I think the talent trees are relatively okay. I think that for just kind of logistical's sake, I think they should have taken all of these passives and put them on a secondary tree and then they should have allowed you to have your points inside of one talent, inside of each talent tree. Like, you should have unlocked

like weapon skill points and your weapon skill points are unique to each talent tree. So like, for example, your long, like you have 15 weapon skill points in long katana, Nagi Katana and Kanambo, right? Or in Tapo or bow.

And that way you don't have to like respect your character and then change. it back and forth because like that's just it is a there's no barrier to entry with changing your talents one way or another so adding in this barrier where like now it's harder to do it i don't really see the point check the store for content no i already did that the store is stupid it's a waste of time it's awful and so like do you see kind of what my point is here is that like if you're allowing free respects why not allow each weapon talent tree to have

have its own points so players don't feel like they're locked into a weapon because it's just annoying to swap back and forth. It's not a big deal to do it, but it's just annoying. And so that's another example. And then also, like with a lot of the objectives here, I think that it's very misleading and problematic that you have certain objectives that say that they're level 29, whenever you have to kill the monster or like the NPC inside of an area that's level 40. It's a misleading, annoying function and you have things that scale and you have other things that don't scale. So the world scales with you, but at the same time, there are like capstone difficulty challenges that do not scale. And so when you have something that scales to your level and then it's inside of a castle

and everything's 10 levels higher and it just one-shots you instantaneously, like it's just annoying, right? It's annoying because like you go all the way over there and then you can't do anything. And so that's, I think, one thing. Also, like, if I look at the map itself, I think that once you've done one of these, like, castles, let's say, you've pretty much done all of them, where every single castle follows the same paradigm, where every castle requires you to kill a certain amount of elites, and then after you kill those elites, then you have to loot a box, and then you beat the game. That's it. That's the whole thing. And, um, So, and this is the same at level 10, and it seemingly is going to be the same at level 50.

It's the entire game. Finding all the lost pages and doing, like, this is, like, some of this is okay, where, like, you have to do these, like, training things. But you also have the meditation mini-game, which is, like, the, let me see if I can show it. It's this one here. The Kooji Kuri is so annoying. It's one of the most annoying functions in the game. Almost like Modern Assassins'

Creed game are just game padding simulators with fake content. Well, I'm just explaining the things that I like and the things that I don't like. I also think that, like, the world and the environment in the game is actually really good. And the world building is very, I think it's decent as well. Like, the fact that you can travel around and do, like, you know, like, you can go into different areas in the world and, like, talk to vendors and everything. Like, the towns are well done. And the game feels like it's not like a vowed where every NPC is basically just, you know, just place there and like they're rooted to the ground where like a lot of NPCs in this game do

roam around they have conversations etc and so I think that the like the it's one of those examples again more like the thing that doesn't matter is really well done like graphics I don't think really matter beyond like just looking passable and decent and I don't think also like the way that NPCs behave in town is really something that an average player cares about but at the same time It's something that, you know, of course you can compare and look at. And so, yeah, I think that it's, and it's very good in this game. That part of it is very good. I also don't like the wanted system in these castles.

I think it's a completely unnecessary system that doesn't make any sense at all. And it's just, it's just annoying. The hideout system, I think, is not really, I don't really see it adding. I don't really feel like it added anything to the game. And I think that that's like a very common thread in a lot of these instances with the games, is that they don't really add anything to the game. They just kind of exist. You never see you use your hideout?

Yeah, there's not really a reason to it. It doesn't make well good use of the open world. Yeah. And I think also like so if you compare it to Kingdom Come Deliverance to or if you compare it to Rise of the Ronan, which are two pretty new. Like one's a samurai game from like last year and Kingdom. Welcome Deliverance 2 is one of the best games that came out this year, right? And if you compare it to those two games, you'll see that the amount of,

like, in Rise of the Ronin, there'll be like little exclamation points, and it'll be like a little bonus event that you can do. And you want to do these bonus events because not only do they give you rewards, and rewards can be very good in a lot of cases, but on top of giving you rewards, they also increase your reputation with the area, which can unlock new like little boxes on the map that it tells you where they're at. And so, like, and then with a kingdom come deliverance too, you know,

whenever you're fast traveling between two points, you can maybe get stopped by a guard or like, you know, these like a bandits and then you'll have to fight the bandits too. Kingdom home's Deliverance too sucks. Well, but having it happens sometimes is okay. Like I think that the new player experience for Kingdom Come Deliverance is really bad, but the game quality is really good. It's one of those games where it's like, it's really hard for you to get into it,

and there's a lot of ways that, like, you can get immediately filtered out of the game. And, like, I got filtered out of the game pretty fast because I just felt like the... It's like, I can't get my health back because I can't sleep, and I can't sleep because I don't have money to buy a bed, and I don't have money to buy a bed

because I can't kill anything, and I can't kill anything because I don't have any health, right? It was really annoying. Like, I really didn't like that at all. And so, like, I actually, uninstalled the game and then I reinstalled it and I played it again and I'm like okay I'm gonna really try and give this an honest try I did I enjoyed the game kingdom come was a fun game but it was frustrating as well you're weak and suck at the beginning yeah it's frustrating

and so like I would say right now um one of the best games are created no no no I reinstalled kingdom come like it's not like I quit the game but I did uninstall it at the beginning because I was so frustrated about it with all the praise you gave the game uh on good points I feel like six to ten score is a bit harsh. No, I think this is a six of ten game. I think it is a better than average game. It has a gameplay loop that is okay. It's not amazing.

It's okay. I think that it has a number of intangibles, like the world building and the graphics and the style of the game and like the different weapons, that I think it goes above a five. That's what takes it above a five. is a lot of those intangibles.

But I don't know if I'd say it's really a seven. Because I feel like I've been playing this, like, basically, like, let's say this is the entire experience of my time. And I'm going to put different colors in here. So, like, in a lot of video, in a good video game, oops, in a good video game, you go from like this. And the colors are random, right? But, like, my point is that, like, the gameplay changes over time. But I think in Assassin's Creed, the gameplay is like this. Does that make sense?

And I feel like after I got through the first beginning experience of the game, I am now just repeating the same activities over and over in a new area. And it's the same problem that Avowed had as well. Where it's like after you do your... But Avowed was like this. That was it. It's a whole game. And so you've never played any other Assassin's Creed game.

There's no point of reference. Yeah, of course. And this is, and you're right. And I think that I should add that in. I've said it multiple times. I have never played an Assassin's Creed game before this game. Never. I have never played one.

So this is my first experience. I'm going into it as a relatively casual player. I played a few games that are kind of like this. So I haven't played Ghost of Tashima. and so I am coming at this from the most casual perspective that you can really have and so like if I'm coming to this conclusion as a casual player I think that you're going to have hardcore players that are going to have an even worse rating so like the same way that I rate this game a you know six or seven out of ten I'd say probably a six

I can see why people would rate it lower and I don't think that that's the wrong rating but I would say that based off of the way that I evaluate games I think I think six is very fair. And that's it. Yeah. It's a very lukewarm game. Yeah, it's a very lukewarm game. That's exactly the way that I feel about it too.

So anyway, gentlemen, I got to go ahead and do some other stuff today. And, you know, I've been doing pretty long streams recently. So I will be back on tomorrow. And tomorrow, we might play a Sukei simulator. I don't know. I think we might do that tomorrow just for fun, just to compare the two games. but we'll decide then. So thanks a lot for watching everybody.

I really appreciate it. And I'll be back on tomorrow and we'll get back to work. So thanks a lot for watching, guys. All right, boys. Peace. See it.
