I am your host, Paul, and joining me here today, he literally just got his RTX 3080 Ti, but now he's going to have to start saving because there's an upgrade coming it's michael it's like when you buy a car a month before they announce the next model and the next model is like completely different way beefy i'm looking at the prices i got my 3080 ti for just under 800 which was actually a steal and i'm happy i bought it and i think it was a steal because

the next week you know best a steal because the next week, Best Buy probably knew the next week that they were announcing the 4000 series, the 40 series. But whatever. I made this bet for myself that I'm going to sleep in it or play games in it. Done. Oh, there you go. And also joining me and Michael,

he's calling us from Oxfordshire Jail in the UK because the authorities finally caught up to him for hacking GTA 6. It's Josh. Guys, send bail. Just send bail money. It's hard. I have to convert to euros. They keep feeding me these things called fish and chips, and I don't know what they are. They're not the chips I know of.

You know, after having such a packed week of news, guys, if we're honest, this week is a little bit of a down week. That's why we're going to be spending some of our time talking about the new NVIDIA graphics cards. But we're going to put that off for a little bit. We're going to open up the show first by talking a little bit about the games that we've been playing lately. Josh, I know you are diving into a new game here this weekend. You want to talk a little bit about it? Well, big news is Modern Warfare 2. The open beta is or was this weekend. By the time people are listening, this will be over. But you know, hey, it's Modern Warfare. It's Call of Duty. Like we've mentioned this a few times. Famously, I've only ever played one Call of Duty, which was Cold War. We actually did a deep dive on that. And so I was pretty amped. I was like, hey, guys, I'm going to buy the game

so I can play the open beta or get early access to the beta. I'm going to hop in here. I never played the initial Modern Warfare or Modern Warfare 2. I hear people love it. A lot of people consider it the best multiplayer Call of Duty game. I hop in. I start running around. I'm shooting people. I'm pretty decent at shooters. I'm no sweat or anything, but I'm not terrible either. And this feeling of like, what is different about this game versus the other Call of Duty that I played? Yeah. And it's literally nothing. The answer is nothing, guys. I started whining to you guys instantly.

I said, I don't get it. Why were people hyped about this? I get it's a beta. But the game, as of this recording, is probably less than 30 days away. You know what I mean? There was all kinds of graphical glitches going on the pacing was slow and clunky i you know you have the whole thing where you have to unlock weapons and the attachments and you know all that stuff that doesn't bother but i just i found myself going

like why am i playing this this is the most repetitive just spawn shoot die spawn shoot die spawn if you're lucky get six kills in a row so that you get a cruise missile so that you can then bomb that on the map and kill four people and then just rinse and repeat. I, I've, you know, unabashedly, Paul, you and I have always been Battlefield guys. Michael doesn't really get into the hardcore shooters.

I die. I refunded it. I legitimately refunded the game because yes because for 70 modern warfare 2 is 70 and i don't think i would play this game if it was free to play and i know there's people out there that are rolling over right now going oh i can't believe you josh i love call of duty hey if you Call of Duty, I am super happy for you. But play your old Call of Duties because I can't imagine that this $70 game is any different than what you have been playing already for years and years and years. They've been the same for a decade plus.

This is just Call of Duty these days. You love all of them or you just don't really care. They're all just, yeah. There's nothing new. Even the graphics. I have a very good pc with a 3080 card i've got every graphical setting cranked to max and even then the graphics are nothing special man so it's like what makes this the 2022 call of duty game that everybody's going oh modern, Modern Warfare 2. Yeah. And I'm just going like, this is not fun, man. Yeah. I don't know. I don't get it. Maybe I'm just not a Call of Duty guy. But my very, very initial early impression is I would never pay $70 for this game.

You always wonder if they charge $70 because they knew that it wasn't going to have a lot of staying power. A lot of games that don't sell well... We look at... What was that game? The Cult of the Lambs didn't sell a huge opening weekend, but after that word of mouth made it huge. It's the opposite effect with this Call of Duty where they're like, Hey, we need to bump the entry price up by $10 because this game is not going to sell after opening weekend because everybody's going to have the same thing. You almost wonder if they have that kind of insight and they know people pay $70 to start out and most aren't going to refund it like you did. That's crazy. Well, and at the clip that they released new Call of Duties, it's just not enough time to

revolutionize anything. A lot of it's just a quick cash grab. I mean, it just, that's the nature of Call of Duty. We were actually planning out our schedule through the end of the year, which I said I was so proud of us because we have a long history of like we already recorded the last deep dive and we still don't know what we're gonna play next and at first we plugged in modern warfare 2 we're like yeah we gotta cover it it's another call of duty and then after you played for a little bit you were like uh if you guys just want to pivot yeah i'm okay with that i don't know that like as much as like i said call of duty fans power to you but we talked about it and i was like there's just we could literally

just re-release the cold war episode dub over every time we say cold war to modern warfare 2 and it would be the episode yeah legitimately you know we'd have to even cut out the single player campaign portion i think does modernfare 2 even come with a single-player? It doesn't matter, because I can guarantee you it's not worth $70. Yeah, and the campaigns are so short for those anyway. Yeah. It's a bummer. What about you, Michael?

What have you been playing lately? I have been playing the most expensive video game ever made via crowdfunding. I've just been, you, Cyberpunk 2077, I've been playing pretty much all day yesterday and a couple hours a night each week. But I did play a bit of Star Citizen again this week. I got a few hours in there. I like it so far. There's a lot of comparisons, obviously, to Elite Dangerous. The barrier to entry is a little bit easier, though. It's not quite as hard to figure out and so forth, probably because

there's just not as much to do. It's not as much of a space simulator, but I am very happy so far with the shooter aspect of it. You get these missions where this station on a moon has been taken over by essentially space pirates

or whatever. You got to go liberate it and so forth. They come in waves. There's a lot of variety to it um very polished for um surprisingly polished for um i mean a shooter game that also has space simulator in it it's not like they haven't been working on this game for 15 years now it's not like they haven't put a little bit of money into it so but it's good i've been having a good time with it so that's about all i can say really for now it's just it's worth a shot if you're someone that likes those maybe no man's sky players or elite dangerous players uh but it does have a bit of a barrier to entry it's a little bit you know where there's a lot of commands on your keyboard and stuff but honestly it's not nearly as long as hard to get into a dangerous

at the risk of sounding stupid especially for being a co-host for a gaming podcast you have to buy star citizen kind of so you do have to buy one ship to start out so that's the crowdsourcing uh the ship that i bought was like 35 dollars um pretty much everything else in the game you can get um in game with in-game cash like you know some people do still spend money there are people that spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on this game or whatever for super ships and so forth. And then there's also an in-game economy where

you can buy ships with real money if you want to, but those aren't on sale all the time. So then if you buy one for the money, you can sell it to another player for in-game credits. So you got to spend a little bit on it, but not much. And honestly, you can probably play it for like 15 bucks. Okay, so you don't have to another player for in-game credits. So you got to spend a little bit on it, but not much.

And honestly, you can probably play it for like 15 bucks. Okay, so you don't have to buy the game. You just have to buy... You can download the game, but to play, you have to buy a ship. Just buy a ship. Okay, I got you.

Any ship. It sounds like you guys have been playing some boring games because I'm going to get my trombone on. Oh, boy. Somehow, this game, trombone on oh boy this somehow this game trombone champ kind of took the whole internet by storm this last week the last time i remember this happening was keep talking and everybody explodes where i would hop onto reddit and on the main page i'm seeing posts of people playing everybody keep. And this week,

I kept seeing Trombone Champ pop up, and I'd watch these little short 70-second clips of somebody playing a song with a horrible-sounding trombone, and it seemed kind of funny. And then I saw that the game was $15, and I kept seeing more and more posts. I think even PC Gamer jokingly said it's clearly the game of the year because it's the most fun game to play. So I picked it up for $15 to give it a shot myself. And I have not had this much fun playing a game in quite some time. Are you serious? It is so freaking funny.

I feel like you're trolling us, Paul. We had a conversation on Discord about this, because you sent me a gameplay footage, because I was like, wait, is this real? Why are people... Because I saw the same thing, and then you sent me a clip, and I literally wrote back, and I said,

oh, okay, so I get it. It's a joke. Kind of. It is incredibly fun to play, and it just makes you laugh the entire time. So the whole idea behind this is it's exactly like Rock Band or Guitar Hero, except you play it with a mouse, and it is just based on you move your mouse up or down to match the pitch and then you have to press any button on the keyboard to blow through your trombone and so as you're playing these very

famous songs like take me out to the ball game or playing like auld lang syne because these are all like royalty free songs that you can play right and inevitably you, you're sounding like a fifth grader who has just picked up a trombone and you're trying to play with the orchestra. So maybe I can add a little clip that way people know what we're talking about. but the funny thing about the game is that your mouse is inverted that's what makes the game so hard so it's not as simple as just moving your mouse up or down it's it's inverted and these songs start to play quickly so even some of the old classical songs are like modern remixes and you are frantically moving this mouse with inverted controls trying to not sound like a complete idiot on the trombone um but it's actually pretty well made for 15 and i highly recommend everybody check it out

i i will make you this guarantee paul i will never buy this game last i saw it's a 97 on steam everybody loves this to me the video that's why i said this game seems like it's the biggest joke or like troll i had to check the counter i'm like is it april fools like what is going on how is it any different than ddr it's exactly the same i know but i didn't like ddr either it's just trombone does not scream i'm a super exciting instrument like you know like dance dance revolution you're dancing guitar hero it's a guitar hello rock band all of it trombone seriously when i heard this when you were talking about this earlier this week i was like man supporters of capitalism must be thrilled because people will buy anything it's like this does not make sense to me it's a trombone why an inverted mouse just

because they wanted to make it harder is there anything about a trombone that makes you think that should be inverted? I know the answer to this, because as you move your mouse up, it's extending the slide on the trombone. And when you pull your mouse down, it's like you're pulling the slide of the trombone back. So they tried to mimic the actual motion of playing a trombone. It's so crazy. Yeah, it's a game that I would not have even glanced at, except for the fact that clearly everyone who has picked it up loves it. So it sounds dumb. But as soon as you start watching the gameplay and see people laughing and playing along with it, I mean, the game itself totally gets this. They make fun of trombones in the entire game. Every time you

load up a song, it gives you fake facts about trombones and so it says things like the world record for the person who owns the most trombone trombones is two or it'll say people who play the trombone are called tromboners tromboners tromboners if you line up every trombone on earth it'll wrap around the solar system four times so like the game is intentionally made to be very funny uh i highly recommend checking it out for 15 it's so cheap i guarantee you 15 in trombone champ is better than putting 70 toward modern warfare that is probably i can agree with you right yeah oh and shockingly it has a card system you are i i forgot about this i saw the video on this they actually mix like a bunch of different like popular game mechanics

together yeah which i did make me chuckle oh it's it's kind of funny so basically you earn currency based on how many notes you hit when you play a game. And then you spend that on a deck of cards. And then they give you four cards. And it's just like famous composers. It serves no purpose to the game. It's just part of the humor. But what happens is you can end up with multiple of the same card. And if you don't want them, you can turn your card into turds.

That's what it says. Like, turn it into turds. And then you get turd currency and then you pay with turds to unlock other cards that you do want. So it's just a goofy, silly game. These developers were intoxicated when they made this game. Although it's funny. One dude,

by the way. Yeah. With a card system and all this stuff, though, all I'm hearing, Paul, this is my thoughts on it. I can play it in a house. I can play it with a mouse. If I get all the cards, I have a full house. I do not like Trombone Champ.

I do not like it, Sam. I am. You got to watch some clips, guys. You're totally missing out, because it's hitting the front page of Reddit for a reason. It really is. It is taking the world by storm, and I'm not sure I like it. Yeah, 97% on Steam, I did double check.

Oh my goodness. All right, well, we're going to take a short break, and we'll be right back with some multiplayer gaming podcast. This is an ad from BetterHelp Online Therapy.

All right, guys, moving on to some other news here for this week. We got a little bit of a short GTA 6 update.

So last week we talked all about the 90 videos that had been leaked by a hacker. And this week we found out that a person has been arrested and suspected of this hack. It is not Josh, even though we said it was. We know it can't be Josh. Yeah, I didn't think he was traveling to the UK this week. That's why I was surprised, you know? Yeah, and the hacker is a 17-year-old. And we know that Josh is much, much older than 17.

Just a year or two. Yeah, yeah. So this guy's been busted, GTA style. You mean he didn't get away with this? One of the most renowned hacks ever? Yeah, I mean, I think I had read that even his other fellow hackers were doxing him and giving the info. I think even the hacker himself was out there DMing people, offering the source code for money and all kinds of stuff but they've now been arrested and i think what's very funny is that this hacker is pretty young at 17 he was only

eight years old when gta 5 released which i think is very funny do you think he was mad about how long they went without making gta 6 and was finally like i'll show you guys half his lifetime he waited half a lifetime to hack this game and he had so much hacking ahead of him too it's very sad yeah it seems like they were just relying on phishing tactics to get people's login info so it looks like this might be the same person who had hacked uh uber the previous week and they got into some of the rockstar employee accounts so just a little bit of an update there i don't think there's too much more to cover in that regard but we did at least want to let people know about that update yeah don't don't by the way you know every we

there was a it was big big gaming news don't hack things leave people alone yeah don't break the law and don't go to jail yeah if you're gonna break the law don't get caught but don't break the law and don't go to jail yeah if you're gonna break the law don't get caught but don't break the law yeah that's the easiest way to stay out of jail is don't do it yeah don't don't do bad things guys that's just what you do play trombone champ at home just do that you'll be safe i think you're one of the interesting threatened me michael i hey hey you know i think one of the interesting things that came out of this too is that um some people were saying that the leaked footage of gta 6 looked bad like they were panning the graphics and other developers went to support rockstar and started putting out yeah it was cool they started putting out like here's what our game looked like and it came out like god of war

or something they like that was really cool that other developers came to support rockstar on this because nobody likes a hack nobody likes this uh the kid that did it doesn't even like it now because he's going to prison but it's just really cool to see that like coming together like that even though they're competitors it was really neat there there was another the devs of the game control which is a beautiful game uh came forward and said listen all you people that are trolling rockstar for how the game looks like you don't know anything about game development so they actually right posted what their graphics look like prior to that and it looked very very similar so if nothing else we got a glimpse behind the curtain as to what game development actually looks like and the different stages of it and stuff like that so um yeah i mean i didn't this

article doesn't surprise me that this dude is arrested and in jail now either. Yeah. Yeah. It was nice to see other developers come out, even like Forbes and all these different publications said, this game actually looks fantastic, given where they were at in the development process. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, moving on, let's talk a little bit about Steam.

So if you guys have logged in lately, you might have noticed that there is a new stats screen that you can visit. They have decided to add a chart system inside Steam. It'll show you a bunch of stats like how many people are currently playing the top games. So instead of having to check out Steam charts, which we always knew was not necessarily perfectly accurate, Steam now has it built into the actual um service which i think is pretty cool and one of the interesting things is that cyberpunk continues to climb the charts at the top now oh it did it overtake warfare last i looked at number two not for concurrent but for single player it's number one yeah single player it is the number one played game. It is only behind CSGO, Dota 2, Apex, PUBG, Lost Ark, and the Modern Warfare 2 beta. Right.

So it's the number one played single player, and it's the number two overall selling game only behind Modern Warfare 2 pre-orders. And maybe a lot of those are getting refunded. Right. I mean, they're coming back. If you guys think about it, we did announce that we're going to start, we're going to do another deep dive on Cyberpunk a couple weeks ago

and now all the Steam charts. I don't want to say anything, but I'm just saying. It could be the Netflix animated series, but who knows? No, nonsense. Clearly we are influencers. Yeah.

I was a little surprised to see Lost Ark on this list, though, at number five with over a hundred thousand concurrent people playing is that the right word it's free um it's free but like i mean look at all the other games they're free too yeah oh that's very true yeah okay i'll say this you know people might be like how is this big news but one of the beautiful things about Steam is knowing what is gaining hype and traction

as a gamer really, really helps. Valheim came out of nowhere with this. People started saying, all of a sudden, guys, there's like 500,000 people playing Valheim or downloading it. And so the really nice thing about this minor change in Steam is that it really does give us a glimpse as to, is there a game out there that maybe is flying under the radar that's a phenomenal game that people haven't heard of? You know, Cult of the Lamb, right? Nobody heard of Cult of the Lamb. There was one or two articles on it, maybe. But then all of a sudden, you start seeing this thing rising up the Steam charts. As more and more people play it and they like it, they tell their friends, right? And then they go,

oh, you guys should try this. And so this is a very nice, easy, concise way because the Steam database, Steam charts thing was very ugly. It was hard to navigate. You couldn't filter the things that you wanted to see very easily. I mean, you could, but it just wasn't very user-friendly. So this is really nice to see Steam say, hey, this is beneficial for gamers. And so we're going to just make it native to Steam and easy to access and easy to look at. Yeah, I'm very happy with the upgrade. I don't know how often I'll use it, maybe every once in a while,

but it is nice if I'm looking for a new game to play and I'm like, hey, I'm really undecided. Well, this game is being played by a lot of people for a couple of weeks consecutively. Maybe I'll check it out. I'm going to look at the downloads, like which games are actually being downloaded because I feel like Counter-Strike, Global Offensiverike global offensive apex like all these free-to-play

games i feel like are always on the most played list to be honest with you you know like i don't know that that changes yeah exactly so but the which you know hey this is the number one downloaded game or purchase game you know i think that list would be fairly handy to try to find something off of if you're looking for another game that makes sense i also just like seeing them adding new stuff that you can look at like we didn't cover it but i think the week prior xbox had announced that they were going to start adding the estimated time to beat a game on the store marketplace stuff like that is really cool if they start adding more stuff like that into steam i'll be thrilled because then you get to kind of see oh this game is twenty dollars but everyone reports you can beat it in an hour and a half that might inform whether or not i think

it's a good purchase now obviously with xbox they have the benefit of having the game pass uh whereas steam might lose some sales but at the same time i think it would be a really neat feature so i wonder if we'll see them continue to add more stats like this yeah which i think are awesome all right and then our last news story of the week is regarding nvidia we know that the 40 series of cards have been announced they will be priced at a relatively high rate guys the rtx 4090 is gonna set you back 1599 dollars oh my goodness so basically what a 3080 was going for like like six months ago yeah guys it's the future no we're in the 40 series. We're in the future. This is not good news.

I actually have been doing a lot of reading on this. It's like three times better, Josh. No, it's not three times better. Don't buy into the hype, fellas. That's what I don't get. I was reading that. Okay, so my 3080 Ti that I just got, right, which is definitely better than my 1080 was, this and that.

But I know the 1080 to the 3080, it's not a huge jump. It's a big jump. But they're saying that the 3080 Ti is three times inferior to essentially the 4080 Ti or the 4080 16 gigabyte version. I'm not buying that. It's not. I don't see the jump having to be that big. Nvidia would like you to believe that. But if you are techie at all, you can go on to the interwebs. And that's where people communicate and stuff. And there have been a lot money grab basically like there's a lot of people that

are upset at this because this is one of the most expensive cards that nvidia has released at a price point of 1600 crazy but the performance to dollar ratio is one of the lowest that has actually come out and been released by nvidia in quite some time but that's funny because they put in their own release and i put it down as a direct quote they are fantastic value relative to the similarly priced 3080 gpus nope and that does not seem to be the case it is not the case at all and without getting too too nerdy like the new 40 series uses 192 bit bus whereas like i think that to the 20 series and i believe the 30 series all use a 256 bit bus um yes you know they've got more ram but that is not the end all be all

uh these things they're trying to talk about their rasterizer cores and stuff like that but people that are smarter than me in this aspect basically have written these articles things. They're trying to talk about their rasterizer cores and stuff like that. But people that are smarter than me in this aspect basically have written these articles and they break down why this is one of the worst cards that you can actually buy for the money. And that's where the people getting upset are starting to come out because NVIDIA should have said, listen, we don't have this huge upgrade. So we're going to price these accordingly until maybe we get to the next generation. And that's fine. Sometimes technology skips a generation before you get a really big update. That's okay. But don't price your card as twice

as expensive as the previous line when it's only really like 30% better. And then you're trying to sell it with big words and stuff like that, but you're trying to rob people at this point. Well, and it's crazy too, because they're talking about all these things that are somewhat immeasurable. You just used a term on what they're calling their GPU set. They're talking about a lot of ray tracing stuff and things like that. Those are harder to tangibly say. What are the speeds going to be? They're more of a quality upgrade. And I think that's where they're leaning into it a little bit too much. Everyone knows the 1080 to the 2080 was not that big of a jump.

It wasn't a next-gen. The 2080 to 3080 was a little bit more. What's different, though? The 3080, I got a really good one. You've got a good one, Josh. But at the same point, is this really a next-gen card? Like they're saying, it seems like they're just leaning into a lot of hype words and power stances and just trying to trying to sell a gullible public on a on a product that is way overpriced and interestingly did you guys see what amd has recently announced yes i did

they are lowering the price of all of their radians because they are preparing for their new line of products so it's really too bad because I have owned multiple cards by AMD and Nvidia, and maybe it's just bad luck, but my AMD cards have never worked out well. They all overheat. They've given me issues. I've always had to end up getting rid of them before I thought I could, you know, I always thought I'd be able to use them much longer. So it's too bad, but it's a pretty brilliant move because they're lowering the cost of their cards. People are kicking back against this NVIDIA announcement. So we're seeing a little bit of a shift of power going more toward AMD right now. I love what AMD is doing on this because that is exactly what you do is they waited for NVIDIA to

get money hungry and get greedy, to be honest. And then they went, oh, really? Because NVIDIA is getting a ton of pushback from this. Like I said, just go search for it. Most of the articles and YouTube videos out there and stuff are basically saying this sucks. And so AMD looks at that and goes, well, hey, let's take care of people, man. Let's lower the price of our cards. And let's try to gain that market share. And I love it. I mean, honestly, I'm all for it. So I hate to see this because NVIDIA has also come out and said that the days of falling GPU prices, they're almost saying, well, nobody's going to do this because they're more expensive to make now. And then AMD comes out and proves them wrong and says, no, we're going to lower our prices. It was such a bold move on both companies.

Like for NVIDIA to say something like that, first of all, that's balderdash. It's bonkers to say, oh, these days are over. They cost too much. And AMD is like, ha. Nope. And they just do it right in the face of NVIDIA saying, you guys are full of it. Yeah. And the only people saying this, that they're so much three times better,

and they're not going to go down in price, is the people who are selling them. That's it. Everybody else is like, this is bogus. Yeah. Well, you know, nothing works better than voting with your wallet.

So we'll see if people buy it. If people still buy these cards at 1600, then that's going to be the new norm. We're gonna have to wait and see. I hope people don't do it. So that way we can yank these cards back to a reasonable price. But what are you gonna do so we are all done covering the news stories that we thought would be most interesting

this week we do have a little bit of an announcement because normally we would announce what our next uh monday episode would be which is always an hour long plus and it'll be a deep dive we are going to be rolling back our episode on overwatch 2 when we got into that beta because we are taking a little bit more time to play cyberpunk we want to make sure that everyone has enough time even though i've already beaten it twice and have 100 percent at it uh i know michael is playing for the first time we want to give everyone time to fully experience it so that'll give us a better cyberpunk deep dive down the road and hopefully you guys will enjoy hearing our thoughts on overwatch 2 because

that will release here in just a couple days yeah it's a good one too and also it just so happens that it releases the day before overwatch 2 actually releases so for anybody that might have missed that this is going to be a great primer into the actual full release of Overwatch 2. And you can kind of know what to expect from that as well. And it'll be nice to see what's changed because I do know that some things have changed since then. So it's going to be a very good indicator as to what has happened since the beta to the actual release of the game, balance issues, and quality of life stuff and stuff like that as well. Yeah, um us putting this game out this this old review out will be excellent clickbait for those of you that think

it's a new episode oh wait hold on hold on in the notes on here paul is just editing it says do not actually say this just believe it okay don't tell our secrets guys listen to the episode it's gonna be great oh but not a lot has changed we've gotten a lot we've got a couple of minor changes but it's a good refresh if you want to hear our thoughts on Overwatch 2 versus Overwatch 1. Yeah. So as always, we'll have our Quick Take release on Saturday. Monday will be a rewind, but then on a week from today, we'll be back with a normal Twig episode for This Week in Gaming. And that's all that we have for you guys here today. So just as a reminder, go check out MultiplayerSquad.com to see our Patreon page.
