Absolutely. 10:44.41 Mat Wow what a life. What an exquisite life and ah Leonard is here with us hello Leonard. 10:49.52 Leonard Hi my pee organ is full to bursting. 10:55.18 Cameron Um I was taking a sip of water letters cabinet it? Yeah yeah that that one's a translation issue. 10:57.53 Leonard Well I'm literally getting it out of the way immediately. 10:59.30 Mat Listen it had to happen eventually. Um there you you have to you have to. 10:59.52 Dave Ah. 11:11.25 Mat Yeah, ah, but yeah, ah today we are talking about the neo whiz game. The lies of p that has just been released for like everything. Um, yeah, last generation consoles this generation consoles pc. 11:11.40 Leonard But. 11:20.46 Cameron Yes, yes. 11:27.26 Mat Um, that ah had a demo that came out a while ago that a lot of people played some people got hyped some people who are upset about it. Um, and then kind of the developers took that back and worked on it and came out with this game that. Um I have heard over and over and over people calling Bloodborne two which I don't know how I feel about that. Um, but hey listen, we're not going to get a bloodborn too. Um, at least not in the next little while I'm sorry listen they didn't port it to pc I I kind of think they're done with it for a while. So. 11:56.93 Cameron Don't hurt me like this. Yeah. 12:03.16 Mat Um, as far as souls likes I've played ah since you know, ah you know non mainstream titles but blah blah um this one's like it's doing it I'm enjoying it. Um, yeah. 12:07.52 Cameron Um. 12:14.81 Cameron Yeah, yeah I did oh god. 12:17.13 Leonard Yeah, we could have gotten a lords of the fallen situation with as a game that I somehow managed to Platinum because I played through it twice hoping that I was just missing something and that it might have actually been good, but no it in fact, was not. 12:20.54 Mat Oh my God Please no. 12:27.32 Mat This is it. 12:27.63 Cameron Wow. 12:35.74 Cameron So. 12:36.56 Mat You didn't like screaming tattooed face man. 12:37.45 Leonard Um, ah, but now not really. 12:39.17 Dave Look every it's There's always time for a vow of defiance. 12:43.33 Cameron But God yeah like of all the non from software souls like titles. This is like I would say the best personally but I will in a more wide raning statement say really up there. 12:58.85 Leonard Yes. 13:01.84 Cameron It's it's kind of ridiculously good in comparison to a lot of the other stuff in the field. But. 13:05.70 Dave Um, it's the most polished I think yeah. 13:11.50 Mat Yeah, for sure. Yeah I mean we've been ah, ah, really active in our Discord talking about this game. It's been a lot of fun playing along with you guys? Um, but ah. 13:14.23 Leonard Um, like it. 13:20.79 Cameron Yes. 13:24.83 Mat What makes it a souls like for me I think I wrote earlier um is that whenever I die I feel like it's my fault most of the time um other than like the the sens fortress here comes an electric ball nightmare zone. 13:34.19 Cameron Like 90% 13:41.59 Cameron Oh god. 13:43.39 Mat Trash. Um, but yeah, it's it's because I have not leveled myself up to learn the systems enough to do it and then once you can do that you can get through things and um, that's usually my rating system for souls likes and this one is is passing so far. 13:48.48 Cameron Button 4 14:00.19 Cameron So yeah, yeah, um I know it's a soul's like because there's a woman in a dress who gives you more power in exchange for some sort of tenuous uncertain control. Yeah at least at least she only has 1 line most of the time. 14:06.97 Mat Seek last lasts seek list. 14:13.93 Leonard Yeah I'll use my power to have to help you. 14:16.66 Mat Um, yeah. 14:17.81 Cameron I'll lend you my power. Yeah yeah, that's the one. So. 14:21.34 Mat But yeah, the having to go back to Majula to level up um is ah I was just like oh we're doing this again all right? cool. 14:30.61 Cameron So ah, they do. 14:30.79 Leonard And I love it because they fake you out because she's like ah she's like hey I'll I'll allow you to level up here at the very first star gazezr and I'm like oh great I can level up at bonfires and then I'd try to level up at every other one. It's like nope. 14:41.60 Mat Ah. 14:48.70 Leonard Just this one sucker you have to come see me This is fair. 14:51.12 Mat Yeah. 14:51.53 Cameron Yeah, well you see the power. Yeah, the power is only temporary the levels only last a couple of hours from that point clearly. Ah. 14:51.79 Dave She did say it only works for limited time. 15:04.35 Cameron But it's it's almost a shame because you can do literally everything else from the stargazer Really not everything else. Oh yeah, no yeah, yeah, um, you can you can do almost everything else from the star gazez. No. 15:06.94 Leonard Yes. 15:07.54 Dave No, there's 1 thing you can't do but we'll talk about that later the thing that drives me so very upset. Yeah. 15:09.91 Mat Um, yeah. 15:12.55 Leonard And this is. 15:12.74 Mat Oh yeah, can't become a real boy. 15:24.18 Cameron Which is pretty great. Um I do like that like a lot of the time like I have to go back to the hotel and I go to the Star Guys And'm like no, that's the thing I need to do right there. Thank you and then you have to go back to the hotel anyway. But you should because you can listen to some music and hang out. 15:41.62 Mat Yeah, some very strangely contemporary music. 15:41.77 Cameron Which is nice and. 15:45.83 Cameron So. 15:49.33 Leonard Hey it's a city of the future. It's like ah it's like Columbia from bioshock infinite they're open I'm sure they're using ergoed or ah open rip holes in other dimensions and steal their music. 15:52.33 Cameron Yeah. 15:59.31 Mat Oh I had a joke for you guys. What do you call a puppet that wields absolute power. 16:00.84 Cameron I. 16:04.86 Dave Okay. 16:11.80 Cameron Um. 16:14.20 Mat An autocrot. 16:15.81 Dave Thick, oh okay, As't say the king of puppets i. 16:16.32 Leonard Um, Mussolini ah. 16:16.41 Cameron Oh God yeah. 16:23.37 Mat All right? That's been our episode folks. Um, see you here next week yep yeah off. Ah. 16:25.80 Cameron Autocrat Good luck quality quality podcasting. Um. 16:30.57 Leonard Um. 16:35.20 Mat Yeah, ah should we just like dive in and get started here or do we want to go over the demo first. 16:39.59 Dave Um, yeah, so well. Well, we're not going to go over the demo but we'll go over like the reception of it and I think of those of us who played it like how we felt about that. 16:42.69 Cameron M. 16:51.88 Cameron So. 16:52.50 Dave Going into it and then maybe if that if any of those thoughts changed. Um as this game came out. 16:55.82 Mat Sure I'll let you guys take the lead on this because I think I'm the only one here who didn't play the demo. Unfortunately I know right. 17:00.60 Cameron No no, it's all in the game. 17:03.48 Dave Um, it I mean you're not missing anything. Um, it's in the game. Yeah, it's it's all there. Um and polished ah Cameron go ahead. 17:07.24 Mat Yeah. 17:11.28 Cameron Yeah I quite liked the demo I didn't actually finish it partly because I was really busy at the time. But yeah, it made me I think cautiously optimistic would be the best term here I went with the strength build in the demo which. Did in Jail with me so well and then now I'm doing a dex build much better or pardon me I've got the petrification disease Apparently ah, it just felt a little unpolished. But the the core idea and especially the core aesthetic was all there and I really liked it So As like they're doing a demo normally nothing changes between a demo and release. So If it's like this on release I'll still get it. But I won't be as invested but what they've done is they've. Significantly improved since the Demo. So I'm having a great time. 18:13.68 Dave Yeah, and there was this there was several months in but it was like 4 four or five months yeah so there was there was ample time if that's something they had considered to do which I imagine was the case because they gave it that big of a window. Um. 18:17.70 Cameron Um, yeah, it was early in the year 18:25.17 Cameron Yeah. 18:30.40 Dave And all that time to get plenty of feedback internationally not not just ugly because this is a south korean studio um Leonard how about you. 18:32.17 Cameron Yeah. 18:38.98 Leonard Ah, yeah, so um, hey it's it was. It's it's it looks like blood born. It's it's it's weird and foppish and has it's not even really gothic. It's more of a rococo aesthetic ah which I'm also totally cool with um. 18:51.22 Cameron Yeah, it's bell apart. 18:56.44 Leonard Yeah, um, ah I played the demo I went with the dex build um and ah was not happy about the dodge in the demo whatsoever felt like there were a lot of lingering hit boxes. 19:07.72 Cameron Mm. 19:12.68 Leonard Felt like there was a lack of invincibility frames um wasn't jelling with the fact that like you couldn't just rely on the dodge that you did have to sprinkle in the um ah the block ah mechanic. Um. 19:27.40 Cameron And. 19:30.90 Leonard Which is something that I've like kind of bounced off of even on the full release. But I have recently gotten better with it. Ah, but I I was like yep, this is this is exactly the kind of dumb nonsense that I'm going to want to spend my time playing when it releases because. 19:48.60 Cameron So. 19:50.25 Leonard It's like blood born and I love that game. So um I guess I'm just going to wait and see if they polish it up and and then they did and then I was happy. 20:00.61 Cameron Yeah, yeah, yeah. 20:07.55 Dave Yeah, and so in particular the aestheticwise the architecture the the costuming all of that all of the set dressing um is ah La Bell epoch the the beautiful epoch so that's the art. Um. 20:13.87 Cameron M. 20:24.44 Dave Style in the age. Um in french belgian and european history from 1871 to 1880 and so it's everything bright prior to world war one and it's it's specific to France. Um. 20:25.52 Leonard And I. 20:26.78 Cameron M. 20:36.39 Cameron Yeah. 20:42.95 Dave It deals in so it's relevant in the game because ah in in France that era the end the end of that um was prior to the world fair in 100 in Paris and that's something that we see that the. 20:56.58 Cameron Button. 21:01.47 Dave Grand um, exhibition is is occurring but postponed in crot in the game setting. So they're taking ah 90% of their. 21:02.96 Cameron So. 21:09.87 Cameron Yeah. 21:20.25 Dave Inspiration from the original ah pinocchio story adventures of Pinocchio and the rest of it is is historical dressing so it's it's yeah, they're grounding it in things that are realistic. So it's not. 21:26.98 Cameron Yeah, they're franifying it. 21:27.47 Leonard Yes. 21:36.80 Cameron So. 21:40.80 Dave Um, something that feels so say with like the general dark souls kind of games. Those are not like in our world like I mean this isn't either but this is more anchored. 21:49.96 Cameron No no, if yeah it it feels like you know there. But for a twist of technological understanding. Yeah. 21:55.38 Leonard Yes. 22:02.22 Dave Ah, yeah, like an alternate history kind of feeling. 22:07.85 Cameron There but for and an unrealistic power source. But. 22:10.56 Leonard With Britain. 22:12.70 Dave Yeah I mean there's you know it's it's it's doing its own thing. Ah, but that's I think part of the draw is that you can look at this and you can in they clearly they don't having to like come up from scratch like they have architectural designs. They have. 22:12.76 Mat Um, that's always the case. Yeah. 22:14.12 Cameron Yeah. 22:30.20 Dave Ah, whole aesthetic to pull from and and then it's it's a strong visual one and I think it's It's just doing all the favors. Um, as far as like the background setting is concerned. 22:31.59 Cameron Yes, very strong. 22:41.48 Leonard Yes. 22:41.68 Cameron So yeah. 22:44.59 Mat Yep. Well Great, really. 22:49.47 Cameron I. 22:49.60 Dave But yeah, they um they tightened up a lot of the things and they primarily the difference is ah, there's no difference in general ah game story like it's what you play in the demo is what you're going to be. 23:00.71 Cameron Button. 23:05.55 Dave Experiencing the in the full game primarily what they've done is they've they've kind of extended the invincibility frames from when you're dodging. They've made I think the movement may be a little bit more fluid probably tightened up some of the attack animations. 23:05.80 Cameron Button. 23:14.60 Cameron Yes. 23:20.21 Cameron So. 23:22.40 Dave Ah, and then made sure your actual dodge movement. Um I think is a little faster. 23:28.60 Cameron So yeah, definitely it was really slow in the demo. 23:32.30 Dave So yeah, and that's that's 1 thing I will say is when I played the demo I didn't I had no reservations about it like I was like oh in in its state I would I would be fully willing to play play this. 23:43.30 Cameron Um. 23:46.47 Cameron Oh yeah, yeah, oh. 23:49.32 Dave Like I didn't see that there was a big problem with it and there seemed to be a lot of pushback in the general um Souls community or and gamers at large ah that people weren't happy with um how the game. 23:57.41 Cameron Who. 24:07.46 Dave Handled like how that how the movement and everything felt they wanted it to be a little bit more like the things that it is taking clear inspiration from and I think that that's doing that would be doing it more of a disservice simply because it's not. 24:16.22 Cameron Button up. 24:26.25 Dave Ah, it's it's paying homage to things and taking clear inspiration from certain games. But it's doing it's doing its own thing. It's not. It's not those games. It's not that company and they're. 24:44.17 Dave Able to kind of like express that in a way that I didn't think was detrimental or broken. So ah, a lot of I think the negativity surrounding it. 24:47.33 Cameron So. 24:58.93 Dave Wasn't because of the game on its own merits. It was more like because this isn't um, things are pretending to be like something we love. But it's not that thing so therefore it's fake and it's bad is the feeling I was getting from like the reactions. 25:06.57 Cameron Yeah. 25:10.82 Mat Yeah, however, both. 25:15.18 Cameron If if. 25:16.86 Dave Yeah, ah ah seems theatic. Um, so yeah, that was the general consensus for that. However, the the game itself has released to um, fair fair reviews like they're they're on the higher end. 25:19.81 Mat Yeah. 25:32.42 Cameron Yeah, it's getting a lot of praise which is good. 25:34.33 Dave Um, it is weirdly the European magazines are giving it lower scores and it could be that and um, who knows. 25:36.54 Mat Now. 25:43.16 Cameron They just hate the french. 25:44.95 Mat Yeah, it's good. Be it. 25:48.00 Leonard Um, yeah. 25:52.76 Dave But yeah, there's definitely like several points lower in the The The European Centric review magazines. But ah, but overall um, everyone's been pretty positive on it anyone that's decided to play it. 25:54.57 Cameron Button. 25:58.32 Mat Interesting. 25:59.29 Cameron The. 26:08.68 Dave And more people are because of the word of mouth and how I guess it's fun. Um, how how the game plays um people that took the plunge and bought the game are able to go hey guys is actually this is pretty good. 26:16.30 Cameron You you. 26:24.43 Cameron Yeah, yeah. 26:26.97 Leonard Deaths. 26:27.30 Mat Yeah, yeah for like for a company I'd never I've never heard of Neo Wiz before um like I would think that's like a yeah mobile phone company or something like that. Yeah. 26:33.60 Cameron Um, I think this is their first. Yeah, their first game like this. 26:35.14 Dave Um, they have a pretty pretty big um backlog of ah backlog but um games that they've done. Yeah. 26:43.75 Cameron Okay, there. 26:45.39 Mat Yeah I don't doubt it. This is a very competently made game I Just never. It's never crossed my radar before but ah everything I don't know if it's just because I'm talking to you guys about it online or texting people about it or whatever. But every ad I get ah it's. 26:55.52 Cameron And. 27:02.43 Mat It's like 1 in 4 is for lies of p um, all the Youtube Brex are for lies of PAh just it's everywhere I have coworkers asking me what this game is ah because it's really really pushing it for for like ah again, a studio I'd never heard of before. 27:03.32 Cameron Wow! what. 27:13.30 Cameron Yeah, yeah. 27:13.33 Dave Um, the algorithm is pushing it. Um, yeah. 27:15.90 Leonard Ah, yeah. 27:19.26 Cameron M. 27:20.99 Mat Um, the the marketing blitz is just it's really pushing. It's on game pass right now. Um, so yeah, yeah. 27:24.10 Dave Um, yeah, yeah, it's big ah starfield like in any in any other alternate universe like it would not have gone this way I think. 27:27.40 Cameron Mm yeah, if you got an Xbox here. You lie fuck. 27:38.46 Cameron M. 27:38.48 Mat Yeah. 27:41.38 Dave Had had Starfield met up to like what it was announced to be I mean it didn't obviously do that ah and then releasing at the same time as like a big supposedly system seller game ah would have put. 27:47.65 Cameron Yeah, yeah, yeah. 27:48.57 Mat Yeah. 28:00.68 Dave This game on like the wrong foot particularly given how the demo had been received. But that's not what happened? no this is doing I think really? well. 28:02.70 Cameron And yeah, yeah, so just good to see. It's nice to not rely entirely on Fromoft for one of my favorite gaming hits. 28:05.50 Mat Ah. 28:07.86 Mat No yeah. 28:21.00 Cameron At least as far as style goes. 28:21.56 Mat Yeah. 28:23.66 Leonard Yeah, ah, especially because this one is competently made ones I mentioned it earlier in the green room I believe but man this could have been a Lord's of the fallen. 28:25.94 Mat Yeah. 28:28.50 Cameron Um, mm. 28:35.37 Leonard Situation which would have been ultimately tragic honestly. 28:37.40 Cameron Ah, yeah, yeah I. 28:38.85 Mat Yeah, yeah. 28:43.10 Dave Yeah, no I think this this sits ah if it's with smaller developers. Um frogtomp I think is the company that did immortal and chained um that that's probably 1 of my favorite. 28:49.42 Cameron Yeah, yeah. 28:53.75 Mat Yes. 28:59.41 Leonard And a. 28:59.56 Cameron Button. Yeah. 28:59.98 Dave In the genre. Um by a small developer this one I think has some more money behind it. Um, yeah, and what's nice is the extra layer of polish isn't just. 29:06.82 Mat And yeah. 29:06.92 Cameron It definitely feels like it. It's got that extra layer of polish. 29:08.78 Leonard Yes. 29:18.30 Dave Ah, like a varnish on something like it's it's there. It's a competent thing and then it just looks good. Also. 29:20.30 Cameron No, no, it's genuine quality. Ah man. Yeah, like we're not going to cover the area but when you first see the actual Cathedral God That's a great shot. 29:33.47 Mat Yeah, fantastic, Fantastic shot that. 29:33.52 Leonard And. 29:38.50 Dave Yeah, there's there's some good. Um, there's some good set dressing some good ah just visual. Ah I guess they're not really a skybox because it feels like you get to see I mean it is a skybox. 29:51.57 Cameron So yeah, M yeah yes, yeah. 29:53.80 Dave You get to see a lot of the world like all at once and like that's a that's just fun and going. Oh I've been there. Oh oh I'm going there you know and that's that's always nice. It's nice to see. 29:53.94 Leonard You get those vistas. 29:54.67 Mat Yeah. 30:01.52 Mat Yep, definitely. 30:06.10 Mat Yeah. 30:07.83 Cameron Yeah, you can sort of pick out the exact street you walked on from up high and you go wow they like they did it. They're doing that moment where you look down from an Orlando and see the unde berg. 30:18.57 Dave Yeah. 30:18.61 Mat Um, yeah, that's tough. 30:22.50 Leonard Yeah, this is like clearly a really good use of unreal engine because it is It is very hit or miss. Um, you know there's occasional texture pop in but it's nothing. Yeah, and once again, but that also happens in from software games as well. Um. 30:28.36 Cameron Mm. 30:33.52 Cameron Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 30:37.89 Mat Yeah. 30:40.34 Leonard But yeah, no, it's It's really nice looking. It's like clearly a very talented like art design team worked on this um like enemy like the puppets look really good. They're animated incredibly well. Um. 30:51.70 Cameron Ah, yeah. 30:56.40 Cameron Yes, yes. 30:59.00 Leonard It's it. It is really just kind like even even like you even have like depending on direction like your dash animation changes. Um, which is also just a really nice detail. 31:08.65 Cameron M. 31:09.37 Mat Yeah. 31:17.30 Dave Um, yeah. 31:17.67 Mat There are some cracks like um, there are there are a few things like um, some sound design stuff doesn't land totally like when you roll through like a bunch of boxes or a cart and makes the same sound effect that is very quiet I'm like this. 31:27.40 Leonard Me. 31:31.17 Mat And I feel like when you roll through stuff in dark souls. It makes like a a huge mess and a ton of noise which is probably unnecessary but it's a ton of fun. Um, yeah, like sometimes text will pop on the screen for an item description that is a nice large block of text that I'm about to read and it disappears in a second and like well now I got to go dig for that. 31:33.39 Cameron Yeah, no, yeah, they know why it's there. 31:46.97 Leonard So yep. 31:48.94 Cameron Yep. 31:50.88 Mat And ah, that facial animations when people are talking aren't particularly synced up with anything um which you know whatever it's yeah which I thought oh this is telling me someone's a puppet and someone's not but no, not at all. Um, yeah, so there are like little tiny things. 31:57.12 Cameron Anna. No. 31:58.65 Dave Um, it's hit or miss if their mouth moves. 32:03.62 Leonard This is. 32:03.71 Dave No no and that's that's okay because that that's something that Souls does as well where sometimes they don't talk. That's that's just a conceit of the game. Yes. 32:04.51 Cameron No, it's a yeah oh yeah, every single doxyl's one Npc just stands there and telepathically communicates with you. 32:10.73 Mat Ah, yeah, oh yeah, totally. 32:20.28 Mat Right? All all I all I need is the enemy and boss tells every other animation you can keep it's fine. Yeah, it's totally fine. Yeah sure do. 32:23.38 Dave And giggles. 32:27.25 Dave Yeah, because their clothes should look nice. The textures on everything is fantastic. They put a lot of effort into like just the cloth. 32:29.33 Leonard Um. 32:31.33 Cameron Wet Mm got it. The fashion is outstanding. 32:37.30 Leonard Yes. 32:37.78 Mat The yeah the clock in the lobby works. You can watch the gears like actually turn that big planetary gear in the center. It's cool stuff. There's cool stuff going on. 32:39.44 Cameron Select. Yes. 32:53.80 Dave Yeah, so let's take a look at um, kind of the stats. The things that you yeah how it works but then what it's giving you to make yourself more competent. 32:57.32 Cameron How the game do it. 33:08.97 Cameron Yes. 33:10.38 Dave Um, as far as like your your build wise so when you start the game out, you're able to pick from 3 different like so starting loadouts. 33:15.47 Mat Ah. 33:24.48 Mat Yeah. 33:26.83 Dave And ah, way of the cricket way of the sweeper and way of the bosted. Yeah. 33:28.28 Cameron In way of the bastard the bath that. 33:29.47 Mat The bastard man 50 33:38.85 Dave That guy. Yeah, so the way of the cricket is a balance build. It's equal um basically strength and dexterity. Not nothing like it's kind of even across the board. 33:39.73 Cameron Ah, yes. 33:48.10 Cameron Yeah, yeah. 33:55.87 Dave I Think a little yeah I don't remember what it, um, nothing's yeah, nothing's high. Ah and then when you do sweeper is the the strength build. 33:57.40 Cameron Nothing starts with good advantages. 34:08.86 Cameron So. 34:11.97 Dave So that one will have higher I guess we'll we'll go over these so your your default abilities. There are vitality which is your Hp There's vigor and that's going to be your Stamina capacity is your carrying capacity slash like your weight limit. 34:14.33 Cameron The real terms. Yes, the. 34:28.13 Cameron Button. 34:31.30 Dave Ah, Motivity is your strength technique is your dexterity and advance is your kind of intelligence magics that wisdom. Yeah. 34:38.16 Mat Intelligence. Yeah I'd say that. Yeah. 34:38.65 Cameron Special Alchemy intelligence. Yeah, it's it's yeah, it's It's the it's the mental stat or all the all the in and faith combined stuff from ah from a regular souls game. 34:47.90 Mat Ah. 34:53.57 Dave Yeah, and so I'm throwing this out like theyre terms. Everyone's just going to know so your vitality is going like you The what that's going to determine is the amount of hit points you have and the amount of guard regain you get so when you're. 35:02.58 Mat Ah. 35:12.35 Dave You're blocking things or you're getting Parries. You're able to block a certain amount of the damage and a certain amount is going to be potentially ah refilled ah your life as long as you're hitting the enemy. In ah, a window of time like your health bar will have like a little darker area. Yeah. 35:29.87 Cameron So yeah. 35:32.14 Mat Right? Which was way more generous than yeah way more generous than Bloodborne was with it. Um, yeah, the rally system in Bloodborne was you know it was good but this like I think this perfected it. Um I feel like i. 35:36.69 Cameron Yeah, you get more time. Yeah. 35:45.48 Dave Yeah, this makes more sense. It's tied into more things. 35:47.89 Cameron Um. 35:49.27 Mat Yeah, it makes more sense. It works fast the windows longer and I see myself using it way more than I did in. Ah I mean you have to use it in Bloodborne but um, it didn't feel like such a like oh my god oh my god oh my god like you're not rushing to do it. 35:56.67 Cameron So. 36:05.17 Cameron Yeah, yeah. 36:08.63 Dave Yeah, so vigor is your Stamina That's going to determine when you attack or when you're dodging or running that's eating up. Ah your your points and those refill when you're standing. Still. 36:19.76 Cameron Yes. 36:25.19 Dave Ah, that's I think self-exlanatory, um your capacity is going to be your weight limit. So that's your equipment that you put on your weapons and your armor. Um, they weigh something and they they make you heavier at certain percentages. 36:38.60 Cameron Yeah. 36:44.92 Dave You're going to be so if you quip like a huge giant wrench. Let's say and that's going to be heavier. So you're going to eventually start moving slower if your capacity is not up to par and you're not, You're overloaded. 36:52.56 Cameron Ah, but. 36:58.49 Mat Yeah I think 60% capacity is when you start midrolling and after 70% is when you're fat rolling. Yep. 36:58.69 Cameron Yes. 37:04.20 Dave Yeah, it's it. Yeah, it says slightly heavy, heavy and then probably very heavy or income overencumbered or something I don't know I've never seen those things pop up. So. 37:04.28 Cameron M. 37:09.74 Cameron Yeah, no, 1 ne's willing to go to 80% 37:14.62 Mat Yeah, well. 37:17.51 Cameron Yeah I wouldn't know I'm doing the lightest bill possible. 37:19.50 Leonard Um. 37:22.32 Dave Yeah, we have motility which is it translates to strength. So basically your motivity is going to be a generally heavier weapons. 37:35.41 Cameron First yeah. 37:37.16 Dave Um, they'll they will hit harder they way more and they will benefit more. They get more bonuses with the higher motility stat and. 37:42.26 Cameron Yeah, well importantly, the the stat scaling for weapons isn't based on the blade itself. It's based on the handle isn't it. 37:43.36 Mat Yeah. 37:55.50 Mat The stat scaling is the handle. Yep, okay. 37:57.65 Dave It's based on the handle because you can you change your you can change what stat um is the strongest but then it's going to lower the second best 1 down. 38:05.12 Cameron Yes. 38:09.46 Mat Right? And you can also modify the handles to boost that and lower that even further. 38:09.62 Cameron Yeah, yeah, because. 38:16.58 Leonard Yes. 38:16.76 Cameron Yeah, yeah, because if you want to if you want to strength rap your bill but you don't have any of the boosters you can put the rapier blade on a great sword handle and it'll scale with motivity and it also moved like a great sword which. 38:29.54 Mat It'll move like a great sword but it will scale. Yeah. 38:34.30 Cameron Um, there is a hidden system with that. Um, actually there just as aside, um, it's got stab and slash on the the handle and it'll have either an equal sign or 2 downward pointing arrows if it's an equal sign. The handle is good for that type of damage either slash or stab and if. Down arrow. It reduces the damage by a percentage if you have a blade that does that kind of damage. So the great sort handle is good for slash but bad for stab. So I put my put my rapier blade on a great sword hand on like why is this not doing as much damage and it's. 38:57.33 Mat Ah. 39:09.96 Cameron Because I'm doing slashing moves with a stabbing weapon. Basically yeah, ah so anything can be mixed but there are things that mix better. Basically. 39:12.70 Leonard Here. 39:13.14 Mat Interesting I have to keep that in mind. 39:24.69 Mat Ah. 39:26.88 Dave Yeah, ah so the final Well there's the technique which is your dexterity so it's just the opposite of that. It's the things that are light or fast weapons and then you have advance which is your intelligence magic that kind of thing. Um, you don't have magic what you have is legion. 39:30.31 Cameron Yeah, for the lighter faster weapons. Yeah, so. 39:32.26 Mat Yeah, yeah. 39:40.32 Cameron I. 39:44.30 Dave And legion is energy being converted into your your Robo puppet arm your your left arm is an interchangeable device that you can put other ah cool weapons on and those. 39:52.84 Cameron Yeah, yeah. 39:58.88 Cameron Yeah, yeah, yeah, you've got Um, so. 40:03.95 Dave Those use up the legion ah points in lieu of stamina. 40:08.40 Cameron Yeah, you've got neros um from ah Dmc 5 40:09.76 Leonard Yes. 40:15.95 Mat You got? ah ah, boss's arm from middle gearre solid 5 40:19.90 Cameron Also that yes I is always the fifth game. You know it could be any of those 3 will never know which was the exact inspiration. Um. 40:19.91 Leonard And you've got Secaros arm from sacaro. 40:28.23 Mat Um, it's the same one. It's just been passed down through the ages. 40:34.90 Cameron Ah, you start getting a really cool crossover fighting game going where it's only the characters with mechanical left arms. 40:38.87 Leonard Well then then you have to put in Rad Spencer from bionic commando but his his his robot arm also is his wife so you know. 40:44.26 Cameron Also I am. 40:48.20 Mat Did Drew I'm going to play as a vash from a trigun so I can just level a city if things go wrong? yep. 40:51.72 Cameron I Love my robot arm I mean yeah, but yeah, um, advance also covers Generic elemental damage. So if you have a blade that does fire or shock. 40:54.66 Dave Does they have a planet destroying arm. Yeah, so yeah. 40:56.84 Leonard Oh yeah. 41:09.53 Cameron It'll also boost that as well as your legions abilities. 41:14.17 Dave Um, yeah, you have fire electric. Um and then acid. Yes, so those go ahead. 41:15.42 Cameron And acid. Yeah. 41:20.13 Mat So what I what yeah um what I was I was just gonna say going back to technique for a second. What I really like about this system is there aren't also dependent stats that are hidden like in this system. Um like I love playing a strength build. Oh. 41:31.11 Cameron M. Yes, yes. 41:38.47 Mat I'm all just Hulk Smash in every soul's game. Ah, and ah if you don't level des. You don't get eyeframes with your role. Um and that sucks and that's not the case here. Yeah, they also don't tell you but that's that's not the case here. 41:46.15 Cameron They also don't tell you most of the time. Yeah. 41:57.30 Mat And that's not the case with any of these stats. You're not locked out of how you want to play. Um based on what build you're doing and I think that's a pretty cool. Step forward. 42:01.40 Cameron So. 42:10.27 Dave Yes, unless you want to be using the guard regain system and if you didn't level vitality then you can not make very good use of that. Um, but we'll talk about that in a little bit a little bit. 42:13.17 Leonard The chase is the. 42:13.34 Cameron Yeah, yeah, please please level vitality. This is the same as Eldon ring you need hit points. 42:18.67 Mat Yeah, it's the same. Yeah I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine I'm not fine I'm not fine. 42:23.14 Leonard Um, 50 years 42:27.14 Dave Yeah, so in addition to legion and legion being the thing that like powers your so it's it powers your arm. But initially all you have is a punchy arm and you get like I don't know three punches. Not not very many. 42:29.95 Cameron Ah. 42:39.55 Cameron Yeah, yeah. 42:43.62 Leonard No. 42:47.32 Dave And before it won't let you punch anymore because it's it's using up your legion and you don't start with very much. Um, but as you go um, leveling up advance or capacity. Both of those increase your legion. 42:50.60 Cameron Martin. 42:58.99 Cameron Yes. 43:00.92 Dave Ah, capacity increases your weight limit plus your legion and then advance just increases your legion but ah, actually no surprisingly not so it it scales eventually. So it's every so many levels. 43:06.11 Cameron Up by more. Yeah I think really oh Wow damn mind. Damn. Yeah, okay. 43:19.81 Dave It'll it'll give it a big bump but initially capacity was doing more um legion I found Yeah, so also yeah, um, in addition to your special powers in your left arm. 43:22.78 Mat Ah. 43:26.26 Cameron Well there we go I mean capacity is important So fair. 43:39.17 Dave Ah, you have special powers in all of your weapons you pick up and that's the fable energy so you get I believe he's to start out with 3 I think you begin with 3 life 3 fable slots. Yeah, so each of the weapons takes a. 43:41.23 Cameron So. 43:49.84 Leonard Yes. 43:50.30 Cameron Yes, you begin with three fable slots. Okay. 43:53.38 Mat Um, yeah. 43:57.20 Dave Ah, it has it has ah a skill in its blade and a skill in the hilt and each of those cost a specific amount of fable to activate. Um. 44:10.28 Cameron The button it'll usually be 2 for the handle and 3 for the blade. Yeah. 44:15.55 Dave Yeah, and it's sometimes it's one and 1 it just really depends on what the thing you have um, all the stuff. All the things are different because of the weapon combination system where you can swap handles and blades in between them. You can. 44:17.82 Mat Yeah, yeah, yeah. 44:34.46 Dave You can do a fun little customizations like putting different skills together. Um not everything is disassembbleable so there are special weapons eventually that we won't do here but those you can't swap the um handles on but you can change. 44:37.13 Cameron Oh yeah. 44:42.83 Cameron No no. 44:53.98 Dave I Don't think it does anything but you can change the um Motivity technique and advance because I did that and I don't think it did anything but it it lets you do it so it may have just wasted my parts and money. Um. 45:00.35 Cameron Oh really, you can ah change the Scan That's awesome. That's actually very cool. 45:04.46 Mat Ah. 45:08.16 Cameron I mean I hope it lets you change the scaling because I would really like I would love to see like their boss weapons with alternate scalings. 45:09.88 Leonard Um. 45:10.94 Mat Ah. 45:17.10 Dave Yeah, it adds it adds a um what you what you can do is it. Let me change something blank to the lowest tier so it was like no advance but I could make that a d. 45:27.67 Cameron Okay, as you can add a little extra at least okay, presumably the highest I've seen so far is an a so. 45:34.89 Dave Because the the scaling is D through a or I don't think there's an s maybe who knows? Um, yeah, so that's the general abilities and stats. 45:38.90 Mat Yeah, yeah, yeah. 45:51.72 Cameron Yeah, yeah. 45:53.99 Dave Ah, additionally your fable ah recharges as you strike enemies. Um, that's how you fill it back up. Um, or you have items that can fill up a pip at a time. Yeah, same thing with the legion. Um that that. 45:57.50 Cameron Button. 46:03.63 Cameron So yes I have to remember to use those. 46:06.33 Mat Yeah. 46:12.57 Dave I Don't think it fills up initially or maybe it's very so very little bit. Um, if you're striking enemies. Okay, so yeah I have that as well. But so there's there's things that you can put um in customizable parts that will let you. 46:15.85 Mat So you have to use a quartz. Yeah. 46:16.77 Cameron No, um, you you can get an upgrade which I've gotten because it's very helpful. 46:18.32 Leonard Yeah. 46:29.16 Dave Regain that by striking or I think it's defeating enemies Actually yup so that's by and large most of the stats. Ah the rest are going to be just your your damage reduction that increases. Um. 46:30.54 Leonard Yeah. 46:30.79 Cameron Yeah, yeah, you regain legion per enemy defeated and. 46:31.57 Mat Yeah. 46:48.18 Dave According to armor parts you have equipped um and your general stats when you and you level them up 1 by one it. It increases your defenses like minutely. 46:58.34 Cameron Yeah. 47:04.64 Dave So I think that's all the stats. Ah I don't think I don't think i't see anything. 47:11.50 Cameron No, that that seems about it. 47:12.86 Mat Yeah. 47:16.55 Dave Okay, um, just make a little big little look there to get rid of the fridge sound. Um. 47:25.72 Mat It's Miller time. 47:32.73 Dave It's the least convincing like yeah I don't know. 47:36.92 Cameron Oh man, all right. 47:38.85 Dave Okay, so yeah, that's the stat step out of the way and I don't think there's anything else in the demo or yeah. 47:46.59 Cameron No. 47:52.17 Mat All right? Let's get down to it. 47:54.95 Dave Yeah, we'll just we'll just get down to breast tacks and go through the beginning of the game all right? Ah Leonard lead us on from crat central station plaza. 47:59.22 Mat Yeah, yeah. 47:59.28 Cameron So yeah, yeah. 48:07.84 Leonard Ah, yeah, so ah, you wake up in a train a blue butterfly that sounds like a mysterious dark souls lady is like hey wake up you pick your weapon. Ah. 48:10.75 Cameron M. 48:22.70 Leonard I'm a bastard so that the choice was obvious. Um, oh um, let's ah, just quickly talk about like the perfect guard um mechanic because of the fact that you can break enemy weapons by ah, doing perfect guards with. 48:25.40 Mat Okay. 48:32.52 Cameron Yes, yes. 48:41.63 Leonard Ah, lowers. Their damage is also a very cool mechanic. Um yes. 48:43.56 Cameron Yep, it's really cool. Um I like that that works on certain bosses. You can do it to the parade master which is hilarious. 48:47.33 Mat Yeah, yes, um. 48:56.51 Leonard Ah, yeah, so there are a bunch of dead people. Ah because the puppets all went crazy and apparently every single puppet in the city was ah just given a blunt force weapon like ah the city of Crot was a massive game of clue. 48:59.23 Cameron M. 49:14.10 Cameron Man I Love that because it it all fits because there's the butler ones that have like their little candlesticks and then there's the police pppets with the little stop. Go signs for directing traffic and it's just there's always an excuse for a pup to have a weapon. Yeah. 49:15.62 Leonard Ah, so. 49:23.11 Leonard Yep yep. 49:23.35 Mat Yep. 49:28.30 Mat Um, the Chimney sweeps. Yeah. 49:32.48 Cameron Ah, the ChimneyS with the big wire brushes on like the pole arms and stuff. Yeah, it's great. 49:35.20 Mat Yeah, yeah. 49:36.58 Leonard Yeah, honestly, if this if this game wasn't wasn't as self serious as it as it is just like have like a group of puppets often the vista during the Mary Poppins Chimney Sweep dance on one. The rooftops. 49:52.47 Cameron Yeah, ah well. 49:55.48 Leonard Ah, but yeah, every yes. 49:57.31 Mat I'd like later on there are puppets who use their own arms because there is no their blunt weapon available. So they just pull that bad boy off and use that. 49:58.69 Cameron Yes. 50:06.14 Leonard We have dog puppets which I assume are like work with the police puppets I Guess um. 50:10.92 Cameron Oh yeah, yeah, some poor little French scoundrels getting chased down by an artificial German shepherd. 50:21.96 Leonard Um, ah yeah, yeah, yanks yeah um, yeah, it's real bad in the city and you've got to make your way to hotel Crotz Ah wait is it hotel crunts. 50:22.30 Mat Ah. 50:23.19 Dave There's a lot of pinch points there be careful. 50:23.51 Cameron So yeah. 50:24.50 Mat Yeah. 50:31.76 Cameron Um, the only so space crat. No no s yeah. 50:38.90 Leonard Crack. Ah um, and ah, you go through the city and things are bad. There are a bunch of ah speakers that are like hey don't worry that we're getting things under control and I'm like this. Well this is an automated message. Um. 50:38.28 Dave Crap nap. 50:55.53 Cameron Yeah. 50:57.89 Leonard Should have maybe recorded more than one. Ah um, ah yeah. 51:01.60 Cameron No, we'll only need the one. It'll be fine. 51:03.60 Mat Yeah, the everything okay is is okay, alarm is going off constantly in this place. 51:08.98 Cameron But my everything is okay, alarm is answering a lot of questions that don't need to be asked. 51:18.59 Leonard Ah, you travel through through the streets and over the rooftops and into buildings. It's very cool. Ah very reminiscent of Central Yarnnam and blood worn Obviously um until you make it to. Ah. 51:24.56 Cameron Yeah, yeah. 51:34.57 Leonard Funny area where there's a guy with bandages all over his face and a bunch of wooden displays that's like Harry here was a here was a circus we got parade everything totally totally nothing bad could could could come this and. 51:46.30 Cameron Yeah, yeah. 51:51.48 Cameron Says what are you buying steals you thermite. 51:53.58 Leonard Walk through a door. Yeah, exactly ah nothing I'm not I'm certainly not buying those disposable ah ah, ah, electricity papers that you've got. 51:56.47 Mat If you see. 52:05.84 Cameron No no, we don't need those. 52:07.21 Mat He. 52:11.00 Leonard Ah, we ah encounter the parade master which has murdered everyone and stuffed their bodies into a cage on its back. Ah, and I love it because even when this thing was like it's a puppet but. 52:19.90 Cameron He ah man. 52:26.12 Cameron Yeah, yeah. 52:28.64 Leonard It's hard to change unless it its face doesn't emote or articulate and it is horrifying looking just. 52:38.36 Cameron It is so in line with some of the original illustrations for Pinocchio of um fire eater that it first off I love how deeply they're drawing in on the source material for this but that was a disturbing set of drawings. They really brought them to life really? well. 52:41.95 Mat Yeah, yeah. 52:52.78 Leonard Um, yes. 52:55.88 Cameron Um, and you get ah you get a great bit of foreshadowing because around a corner next to the bossroom. There's a little note like introducing our new parade master puppet complete with 16 jolly songs the strength to carry 6 men on his back and all this stuff. 50 fty-four greetings for the children. 53:05.12 Leonard Yes, and her horrific clawed fingers. 53:14.29 Cameron Or whatever. Yeah big claws for some reason. 53:17.41 Mat Yeah, have you guys ever seen? Yeah, all the ah the Ninja turtles movie the original Ninja Turtles movie um have you seen the props from that movie today. Okay so. 53:24.20 Leonard Yes. 53:24.58 Dave Yes. 53:26.50 Cameron Um, yes, yeah, no, are they bad. 53:28.60 Leonard Um, yes, they're real bad. Yeah. 53:33.22 Mat The latex is rotting on them. Ah, there's this great picture of a Donna tellohead if you I urge everyone out there to Google this um and this is what happens to puppets. Ah when they age or stay in the sun for too long or lose their gloves or whatever else. 53:40.90 Cameron I'll I'll look that up. Yeah yeah. 53:47.97 Cameron Yeah, yeah. 53:50.95 Mat So when I saw this parade master I was like oh this probably did look like the little picture in the here's the Parade master at some point. Ah, but yeah, but like that Latex has melted off of his face His gloves are missing So you just see mechanical fingers like all that stuff is gone. 53:56.47 Cameron Big and jolly with a round face. Yeah. 54:06.71 Cameron Yeah man. Yeah yeah, rot running atimatronics is always a good aesthetic as proved by the fact that fried knights or Freddy still exist. Yeah. 54:10.73 Mat And ah just just nightmare city. So like it's it's It's a real world analog Um, it's really good. Yeah yeah. 54:24.64 Leonard Um, yeah, and in in line with the the the rotting donateo head Um, also the the sad state that Hoggle from labyrinth was found in in a airport like room. 54:32.70 Cameron Oh man that poor guy. 54:39.89 Leonard Was real bad too. Also just gen generally bad luck. Um, but yeah, the parade master has murdered a bunch of people and stuffed their bodies in a cage and yeah wants to murder little ah Timothy Clement um ah 54:43.38 Cameron 5 yeah. 54:56.56 Cameron Jesus Christ Jesus Christ thank you I guess ah we see here a mummified ninja turtle. 54:59.86 Mat It to put it in the chat I'm sorry um hey yeah Cameron real quick please describe. Ah the horrors they're unfolding. Ah for you right now I just posted this picture. 55:03.32 Leonard Ah. 55:12.90 Cameron His desiccated lips drawn back to reveal his enormous human teeth as the side of his cradium slowly cracks away. He looks like he's been run over by a bus. 55:23.79 Mat He's got one eye completely open and one half lidded. 55:28.16 Cameron Yeah Jesus Harpet horror that's what we're here for. Ah. 55:29.70 Leonard Yeah, it's a bad time. Ah, um, yeah, he's a big brute.. He's got.. He's got a charge Attack. He's got a double arm swipe ah that in the demo. Even though I dash forward and around would always hit me in the end I'm glad that with the introduction of more iframes. Ah that no longer occurred making this fight significantly easier for me than in the Demo. Ah. 55:55.74 Cameron Oh yeah, he's got a big body slam where he just falls on you which I love yeah. 56:05.52 Mat Yeah, big toddler energy. 56:06.84 Leonard Yes, he I like I yeah I like I like that even though this is a giant puppet like his his body slam is like actually kind of slow ah like what he flops It's like. 56:22.98 Cameron Um. 56:25.82 Leonard Just like just enough time to give you to dash out of the way you get them down to half health and ah as um, all ah crazy mechanical things. Do he pulls the last giant and rips. Ah the the his face mask. 56:29.62 Cameron Yeah, ah man. 56:42.80 Cameron Yeah, so he's got a big stove Pi Pad and he uses it as a mace and underneath is a terminator skull wreaths in flames. 56:43.42 Mat By his stovepipe hat. Yeah. 56:44.15 Leonard Off yes. 56:51.50 Leonard Yes. 56:51.18 Mat Yeah. 56:55.10 Cameron Like this is what's under all the puppets Pinocchio presumably looks something like that under his very delicate face timothy chalaome pulls his mask away to reveal the metalwork andneath. 57:01.40 Leonard It's. 57:06.18 Leonard Um, ah. 57:07.38 Dave It's just yeah. 57:07.59 Mat Everyone's just ghost ridering constantly underneath their their latex masks. 57:08.51 Cameron Ah, yeah, oh man. Yep. 57:10.93 Leonard Um, ah and and and then you kill it? Ah ah oh by the way they are also constantly speaking to it, especially the the the boss puppets are constantly speaking to you in a language that you can't understand. 57:20.93 Cameron Yeah, they're doing the near thing. 57:22.21 Mat M. 57:27.42 Cameron Hi Yep yeah. 57:30.94 Leonard Um, and then ah you make it to the hotel and the mysterious voice tells you that ah as mos law exists here and that you will have to lie to get in. But you're very special. Yeah. 57:45.26 Cameron Yeah, they added a fourth one? Yeah, you can't you can't harm anyone you got to listen to what they do. Ah you can't inadvertently let people come harm and also no lying be truthful. Yeah. 57:53.96 Leonard Yes, yes, but you're a special puppet that has the ability to lie and therefore lie lie to gain entry. Um. 58:04.38 Dave Well, it's not just the ability to lie. You're not beholden to any of those commandments you're murdering so many people. 58:04.41 Cameron And then get sudden chest pains. Oh yeah, you murder a bunch of people in this game Admittedly self-defense I don't think I've ever deliberately started a fight with a human so far. 58:09.23 Leonard This is also true. 58:10.85 Mat Yeah, we like straight up kill people. Yeah. 58:18.53 Leonard Yes, um. 58:24.70 Cameron But yeah, he's that he's that Rogue puppet. That's just yeah I do what I want it's it's I Robot he's He's ah the one The one robot I Forget the name is every someone name. Yeah sure. 58:32.63 Mat Great. 58:33.73 Leonard Yes, he is he is David Hyde Pierce ah I think no I think David Hyde Pierce was like the voice of the robot in I robot. Um. 58:41.67 Cameron Can a puppet write a Symphony Well there you go. But yeah, you are you lie to get in and you have sudden chest pains as your Springs react which is interesting you like you are internally. 58:51.20 Leonard Ah. 58:55.38 Leonard Yes. 59:01.89 Cameron Disturbed and shifting potentially growing as you break these covenants. They also make the sound theyre they're grand covenants of puppet law or whatever they make them sound cool and 1800 see ah 59:09.92 Mat Right. 59:17.50 Leonard Um I did yeah. 59:18.54 Mat Listen as a machinist I have made a lot of Springs in my life I have made a lot of things that need Springs inside them I've never found a spring that reacts to lying. Um, so. 59:28.79 Cameron He who knows? yeah. 59:32.89 Dave Well I mean that just means they were telling you the truth the whole time. 59:33.23 Mat Um, get be interested to see where this goes oh right? yes. 59:37.40 Leonard Right? Um, because of all the broken ah puppets out front I thought that there was like some kind of security system. So I told the truth because I was fully expecting like a bunch of guns to just pop out the. 59:47.13 Cameron Yeah, yeah. Yeah Antionia just appears with a rifle. Yeah I guess the pub is like beat themselves to pieces on the door or whatever just lusting after human blood. 59:55.17 Leonard Door and blow me away. Ah, but now it just denies you entry. 01:00:05.98 Leonard Right? Um, you gain in you gain entry and you meet Sophia who is clearly the blue fairy analog and she's like hey. 01:00:15.84 Cameron Nay. She she's blue. 01:00:21.85 Leonard Ah, only you can save only you can save the city. You are very important allow me to level you up whenever you have the mysterious ergo The substance that all the puppets run on Um, but. 01:00:35.85 Cameron But it's it's just radiation. It's nothing weird or supernatural. Don't talk about the fact that occasionally you get a pop up that says the ergo is whispering I got that and. 01:00:41.84 Leonard Yep. 01:00:45.25 Leonard Yes. 01:00:46.90 Mat Right? Radiation is fake. You picked up a rock and got sick get real come on. 01:00:52.89 Dave Well everyone craves it. It's it's their barter system. 01:00:57.47 Cameron Its delicious. Yeah delicious uranium. 01:00:58.21 Mat Um, yeah, and isn't it just like Latin for therefore yeah. 01:01:01.92 Leonard Um, so. 01:01:02.41 Cameron Yeah I think Ego I am that but God I swear to God if someone says that later in the game I'm going to be so mad. 01:01:07.37 Leonard Um, yes, um oh it's. 01:01:12.90 Mat Now it's got to happen but with a fun italian accent. Well who like he vacillates wildly between italian and spanish his accent. It just takes a tour across Europe. 01:01:17.15 Cameron Ah, well no that these are French puppets where yeah we where there's one Italian character. He's the he's the outsider. So. 01:01:24.20 Leonard Um. 01:01:30.32 Mat It's It's amazing. 01:01:30.50 Cameron It's important that he's not French That's the most important part of him. 01:01:34.12 Leonard That that because he's he's so refined that he he he's trapped. He's so well traveled that he just picks up accents wherever he goes. Um. 01:01:41.30 Mat Um I believe it. 01:01:43.83 Cameron The great vanini. Yeah, ah. 01:01:46.55 Leonard I Did forget to mention that we get ah the the most important change and really the only change that isn't as Nonmech mechanicalical from the ah demo is we get a little ah introduction Cinematic Ah, ah. 01:01:51.85 Cameron Button. 01:01:59.85 Dave Not yeah. 01:02:00.65 Mat Yeah. 01:02:01.70 Cameron Yes, oh I love this cinematic so much. It's big sort of um, end of resin evilval 4 vibes. It is so good. 01:02:04.69 Leonard Um, yes, ah, which I adore we see so people sailing to Krat We see them discovering a totally benign mysterious blue crystal and examining it. 01:02:05.78 Mat The. 01:02:18.69 Cameron But. 01:02:21.55 Leonard Then they're shoving it into puppets and apparently yeah, you know just like humans would do Oh well you know it's a power set exactly. But. 01:02:27.50 Cameron Yeah, we would yeah we got nuclear powered machines. We are not above scrutiny. Yeah, we got to displace all these laborers. Oh man. 01:02:31.82 Mat Ah. 01:02:32.61 Dave Look We have a city of the future and we need to to run it. 01:02:37.14 Leonard Right. 01:02:38.13 Mat Right? by making hot Puppet Piano teachers. That's what we have to do. 01:02:41.75 Leonard Um, yes, yes. 01:02:46.38 Cameron God that that that was something. 01:02:51.50 Leonard I'm like at ah literally Cameron they are still the puppets are still in your job. Um. 01:02:54.36 Cameron They are stealing my job. My job is the 1 job that I thought might be partially immune to automation just because they haven't built a robot delicate enough to adjust a child's wrist without snapping their hand off but here they are stealing my job. 01:03:11.62 Mat The child needs to learn to perfect block. That's what he needs to do That's his fault. 01:03:12.94 Leonard Um, um. 01:03:16.60 Cameron I Perfect guard until I complete my concerto. 01:03:24.10 Leonard Um, yeah, everything seems to be going great until they all immediately freak out. Why like it's the Anna matrix and. 01:03:29.36 Cameron Ah, yeah, every puppet at once. 01:03:37.90 Leonard Murder every one they come across every single human they come across and it's It's really good. It's a really yeah. 01:03:39.67 Cameron Yeah, there is. It's beautiful. 01:03:48.92 Mat It's brutal. It's the kids. It's the pets. It's everybody. It's yeah yeah. 01:03:52.55 Cameron Oh yeah, every living thing. Um there the my favorite shot of that is the guy on top of the carriage as the puppets are clawing up at him and a made up it busts out of a window like on on the building next. So I'm like it's. 01:03:57.54 Leonard Yeah. 01:04:01.20 Mat Ah, yeah. 01:04:04.91 Leonard Yep. 01:04:08.47 Cameron No safe space. Yeah we we feel that with a legion of hyper strong robots. What could go wrong. 01:04:08.90 Dave No well, they're everywhere and they're it. Yeah well the safe space is like maybe inside your apartment. Maybe if you don't run a puppet so I don't know how much of a pull it is. 01:04:15.40 Mat Yeah. 01:04:20.11 Cameron If you don't own a puppet if you think. 01:04:21.67 Leonard You're right leave. 01:04:26.83 Cameron Button. 01:04:28.51 Dave But I would say ah totally aesthetic thematically if you like what this is doing. Um, there is a an anime that came out in 2006 called ergo proxy and it's like it's. 01:04:32.77 Cameron Yeah. 01:04:41.73 Mat Yes, it's so good. 01:04:44.15 Cameron I've heard of that. Yeah. 01:04:47.61 Dave 10 gently related. There's things going on in there with a society that's run ah with the help of like Ai basically puppets and the puppets start to be are the Ai. Um. 01:04:59.65 Cameron Okay, that's cool. 01:05:07.50 Dave Servitors start to become self-aware and it starts to break down society because they decide they don't want to be servants. They want to do their own thing. Um, so it's similar in that way. Ah, however I will say that the show itself particularly in the latter half of it. 01:05:12.39 Cameron Yeah, so. 01:05:26.50 Dave Deals very specifically um in ah philosophy and religion and if you're not like kind of versed in some of that then it it becomes harder to follow. 01:05:33.16 Mat And her. 01:05:45.14 Mat It has 2 amazing things going for it I mean other than you know all that other stuff. Um, it was written by Dacyo or die Sato the screenwriter for cowboy bebop so it's got pretty solid characters and stuff like that. And it's ending credit song they license paranoid Android from Radiohead and and and you just like it rules it every time you listen to it every time. It's amazing. It's got like ah aon flux kind of vibes. Um, everything is really unsettling and weird. 01:06:04.96 Dave Um, yeah. 01:06:13.70 Dave Um, yeah. 01:06:19.62 Mat Ah,, there's like an amazing scene where they come to this town that everyone's dead but all the automation's still happening So The wands are being mowed and the flowers are being watered and like you know, Ah, the festivals are being like there's decoration happening for a festival that no one will attend and ah. Yeah, it's It's really good. 01:06:42.18 Dave Yeah, that's ah, it's a show that I would have covered on one of the other podcasts. However, it came out outside of the window of time that I was discussing and it's like it's check it out. 01:06:59.56 Mat Deb. 01:07:00.48 Dave Like if you like what lizapes doing um I I can recommend that as a like ah just a something similar but in ah in ah, a quicker form since it's an animated thing that only has 23 episodes 01:07:07.38 Cameron So yeah. 01:07:15.17 Cameron So new say. 01:07:16.13 Leonard Yes, as ah, as ah as opposed to a multi hour interact piece of Interactive entertainment. Ah. 01:07:21.94 Cameron Yes, so. 01:07:24.70 Mat Ah. 01:07:24.49 Dave Yeah, ah yeah, that was my one little aside so yeah, ah the hotel is also ah, right guess aside from um Sophia there is Polinda or Polandina I'm sorry the concierge puppet. 01:07:37.72 Cameron Yes, he's not crazy One of very few. 01:07:43.86 Dave No, he's not crazy. Yeah, and there is Antonia who is the I guess the owner of the hotel. Yes, name name dropping out the gate. 01:07:44.90 Leonard He's not. 01:07:45.42 Mat Um, yeah. 01:07:47.41 Leonard Up. 01:07:52.21 Cameron Yeah, and an old friend of geppetto's. 01:07:52.71 Leonard Yes. 01:07:53.60 Mat Yes, so Antonia gives you yeah she gives you an outfit and a gesture to show off your clothes. It's a schoolboys outfit. So if you put this outfit on and you do the gesture to show off the clothes in front of her. 01:08:02.47 Cameron Gives you a schoolboy's outfit. 01:08:12.10 Mat She says you look just like Geppetto's son and gives you something she gives you some vibrant ergo or something like that just kind of like you know? Ah, ah so a soul item. But yeah, exactly. 01:08:14.92 Cameron So. 01:08:21.47 Dave Yeah, here's here's here's some here's a quarter go by some gum. 01:08:21.58 Cameron Yeah, and yeah, and um your Springs react again. Don't they. 01:08:25.34 Leonard Yeah. 01:08:31.27 Mat They sure do yeah um so this is kind of telling you that ah learning gestures and wearing outfits in specific areas is going to trigger specific things because in this game there isn't armor traditionally like you kind of change your internal parts to be stronger. 01:08:33.40 Dave Yep. 01:08:47.98 Cameron Yeah, a costume. 01:08:49.97 Mat And everything external is is just cost to me. It's just fashion souls. Um. 01:08:52.51 Dave Yeah, it's it's aesthetic, but a lot of the things have something to they're significant in 1 way or another to the npcs. 01:08:52.57 Leonard Yes. 01:09:00.89 Leonard Yes. 01:09:02.49 Cameron So yes, yeah, yeah, oh you? Um, yeah, you start the game with a gesture where you tap on the ground just in front of you. 01:09:02.82 Mat Right? Yeah and so are the gestures. So yeah, it's ah it's going to be interesting to see the things that get uncovered as we go through here with the outfits and gestures. 01:09:19.61 Cameron And ah, apparently this is a reference to a Korean saying where even you should tap even stone bridges before stepping on them I wonder because there's a bunch of planks that break in all the zones when you walk on them I Wonder if you can actually use the gesture to test footing. Yeah. 01:09:19.95 Mat Ah. 01:09:30.20 Mat Oh. 01:09:30.95 Leonard Um, ah. 01:09:34.10 Dave Oh if I'd seen a break it? Well, that's that's easy enough to do in a later zone. 01:09:39.17 Cameron Ah, wonder if that's a thing. Yeah I'll give that a go later. 01:09:39.34 Leonard Yeah. 01:09:41.21 Mat Yeah, interesting. Interesting. 01:09:47.20 Leonard Although I will say this I think it's complete BS that enemies can walk over those breakable bridges and nothing happens and I'm like wait wait I'm the heavier puppet really? Okay, yeah. 01:09:51.35 Cameron Oh yeah. 01:09:57.60 Cameron Yeah, and I goes super dancee and strong eggbo. 01:10:00.95 Mat Pinocchio is a dense boy. Yeah, his his his heart is heavy with lies. Yeah. 01:10:01.68 Dave Look I've got like 5 pieces armor on yes, his heart was heavy with lies. Oh I got to write that down. 01:10:05.00 Leonard Right? yeah. 01:10:06.83 Cameron Filled to bursting with ergo. 01:10:09.97 Mat His pee Organs all filled with lies you guys. 01:10:12.40 Leonard Ah, yeah. 01:10:15.68 Cameron Ergo is stored in the Pe organ. Yeah, ah yeah, that is a little. There's a little ruo to the developers. But how. 01:10:26.34 Mat Yeah, so because it's just fashion souls Twenty Four seven um my character is dressed like an absolute dingus the entire time I have this little pointy yellow hat I got a little victorian rough I've got curly shoes. Um, and yeah. 01:10:26.49 Leonard Ah. 01:10:35.42 Cameron Yes, ah man like original pinocchio. 01:10:38.73 Leonard Oh you mean you dress like Pinocchio. 01:10:41.92 Mat Yeah, no, but like with a giant sword. So it's like just like this I'm I'm crazier than the parade master. That's my goal. 01:10:42.47 Dave The j. 01:10:51.17 Dave You've dressed like the um Roberto benini version the frightening one where it's a grown man drunk 40 year old man being pinocchio. 01:10:51.19 Leonard Um, yes, yes, yes. 01:10:52.45 Cameron Yeah, yeah. 01:10:53.39 Mat Yes. 01:11:03.67 Cameron Um, I'm going around in India ah, the blue blood tail coat and the mouse mask which I look ready for the ball I'm good. 01:11:05.98 Mat Oh very nice. 01:11:10.33 Dave I Have the Owl Hunter or Owl doctor outfit. 01:11:15.49 Cameron Oh. 01:11:17.55 Leonard Ah, yes, and I am wearing Venini's outfit with the parade Masters head. Oh yes I I refuse to because it makes cut scenes hilarious. 01:11:21.35 Cameron Yeah, he's still rocking that hell yeah yeah. 01:11:22.76 Mat Nice, nice, nice. 01:11:30.47 Cameron Oh yeah, you look just like geppetto who the big scowling face with the dreads in the stoke pipe hat. Oh I ah. 01:11:35.22 Leonard Um, yeah, exactly? Yeah yeah, yeah. 01:11:39.10 Dave Um, ah and that frizzled mustache. 01:11:44.44 Mat Ah, it's like 1 of those shitty novelty rata hats. That's got the hair connected to the hat. It's just just looks like shit man. Ah. 01:11:46.49 Leonard Yes. 01:11:46.81 Cameron Yeah, it really is oh. 01:11:52.12 Leonard I Love it I Love going down elevators with and watching that hair So fly up. 01:11:59.43 Cameron Ah, oh man, that's that's great I Love that so much. The fashion is excellent. It's excellent. 01:12:01.74 Dave Oh goodness. Yeah. 01:12:01.77 Leonard Yeah, it's very good. The the fashion Souls is very I was so happy when I was like oh man this is exactly what I'm doing for the rest of this game. 01:12:02.74 Mat Wonderful! Wonderful! yes. 01:12:16.26 Cameron Yeah, it's yeah, it's it's taking that thing where because in ah when Bloodba came out. Everyone's like oh the the the armor barely weighs anything why would they do that and it's because you can wear whatever you want like some stats are better or whatever but it was primarily. 01:12:17.13 Leonard I'm so glad that I got it so early too. 01:12:28.68 Leonard Yes. 01:12:29.62 Mat Yeah. 01:12:33.89 Cameron Be fashionable in Bloodborne because it's the gothic one and they went even further with this and said the armor is a separate item that you put on under the clothes wear anything and it's really good I really appreciate it. 01:12:43.19 Leonard Um, yes, ah. 01:12:43.94 Mat Yeah, lot of stylish curvats. It's very nice. 01:12:48.93 Cameron Nothing like a good cravat. 01:12:53.81 Dave Yeah, so in Antonia is in the hotel. She's in like ah it's like library basically and there is a few I think it's just one actually? um. 01:13:01.60 Leonard Yes. 01:13:01.95 Cameron Yeah, yeah, yeah. 01:13:02.58 Mat Yeah, she's staring at a giant portrait of herself. 01:13:09.34 Cameron When she was young and beautiful. 01:13:10.76 Dave Yeah, which is weird. But yeah, so there is an interactable book that you can like click on and that is the story of Pinocchio inside the game of pinocchio. 01:13:17.60 Cameron Yes. 01:13:23.31 Mat Yeah, so what? I I think is happening here is like the whole Pinocchio like thing or whatever I think he was built a long time ago and he was just put away. 01:13:25.48 Cameron Yeah, yeah, it's a little. It's a little futzy. Um. 01:13:38.71 Dave Yeah. 01:13:40.60 Mat And Geetto was having him bust in for the but what? what is it? the Grand exhibition I Ah yeah, just as like as something to show not something that to be alive anymore. 01:13:47.29 Leonard And. 01:13:47.30 Dave Yeah, because that that train was brought into the city. 01:13:48.32 Cameron Um, oh yeah, that would make sense and you yeah yeah, because you you wake up in a chair like the one that ah lets you alter the Pea organ. 01:13:57.67 Mat And she woke him back up. 01:14:05.22 Cameron Later just without all the extra apparatus like a puppet holding chair basically um puddle. So someone protected you because the door behind the chair is barricaded and if you get a weapon I found this out by accident and go back. You can break that barricade and there's a door behind it. 01:14:05.89 Mat Ah. 01:14:07.48 Leonard No. 01:14:08.47 Mat Yeah. 01:14:25.00 Cameron You can't open I Wonder if you go back in like the endgame that's a secret ending or something Bella Yes I was yes I'm very bad at it just ting ting ding. Maybe if you lie more? Oh maybe. 01:14:27.66 Mat Interesting. Didn't you guys play the piano. Yeah, do you think it gets better with the more records you find or yeah. 01:14:29.29 Leonard Um, yeah. 01:14:33.90 Leonard I I Too am very bad at it. 01:14:44.79 Cameron Did you guys listen to the first record all the way through to have your springs react because he's feeling something listening to a song. 01:14:49.62 Mat Yes. 01:14:49.69 Dave No. 01:14:51.98 Leonard I I missed I missed the first record because I told that old lady the cold hard truth and got nothing for it. 01:15:00.40 Cameron Um, oh man Yeah, got to lie all the time for the good shit. 01:15:02.39 Dave Um, that's that's the like the theme song for the game. 01:15:04.29 Mat Um, yeah. 01:15:05.26 Leonard Yeah I know I found that out later I was I was so upset I was like ok, fine. You know what? if this is how it's going to be I'm just going to lie to everyone for for the rest of the game because I got screwed by being honest. And this is why Pinocchio is bullshit. Um, yeah, you go to Alysian Boulevard because ah, you might find geppetto there and he's been missing for a while ah you encounter. Ah yeah, yeah, you fleetingly see. 01:15:34.12 Cameron Yeah. 01:15:41.14 Leonard Ah, one of the black rabbit brotherhood. Ah before they spider man away um over the rooftops. Um, yeah, you kill more puppets you you do some more running around the city. 01:15:43.50 Cameron Button. 01:15:57.85 Leonard Yeah, meet another guy I thought this guy another merchant I thought this guy was going to turn into patches because he's immediately like hey by the way even though all these people are dead I Just found this stuff I didn't steal it I'm like all right. 01:16:08.71 Cameron Yeah, it was pretty good. You don't Yeah, you don't have to keep saying it man. We know. 01:16:10.50 Mat That got funnier every time I got back to him. He's like I didn't steal any of this that was it that was just as that's his whole dialogue. Yeah is he a puppet or not. 01:16:16.50 Leonard Ah, yeah. 01:16:19.63 Leonard Um, but but I didn't though no I I think he has the petrification disease. 01:16:23.28 Dave Joe this stuff's legit I know. 01:16:28.97 Cameron Yeah, it was all bandaged up. 01:16:30.66 Dave Yeah, that's why he's bandaged up. Yeah. 01:16:31.11 Mat Oh that's what's going on all right that makes more So yeah because you're in the quarantine zone for this petrification disease that swept through Crot Ah like right after things got mechanized. 01:16:34.82 Leonard Yes. 01:16:42.41 Leonard Yeah. 01:16:43.20 Cameron Ah, man. Yeah, it's weird. We got all these puppets in every house in the city and then suddenly every human in the city started getting a disease that turns them into stone. 01:16:49.87 Mat The earth. 01:16:53.80 Leonard Ah, man we started drinking this elder God blood and then all of a sudden people started turning into werewolves. It's wacky. Ah yep. 01:17:00.15 Cameron But father Lawrence says the blood is good for you. It can't possibly be the blood if those outsiders turning us into werewolves. Yeah, there's a lot of parallels to draw here with blood born. 01:17:10.10 Mat Um I blame the schools. 01:17:11.67 Leonard Ah. 01:17:15.55 Leonard Yes, like immediately. 01:17:18.69 Cameron And like immediately we'll get as we get further into the game. The ah the the parallels will become more parallel and the lines are converging closer and closer but never touching. They're eventually flattening out to be a parallel. They're not the exact same product. 01:17:27.68 Leonard Um. 01:17:28.95 Mat Ah. 01:17:31.70 Leonard Um, invisible. 01:17:36.46 Leonard Yeah, exactly. 01:17:36.95 Dave I'm not touching you. 01:17:37.18 Cameron Um. 01:17:41.95 Dave I So said come to the annoying younger brother. 01:17:42.27 Leonard Um, it. 01:17:42.36 Cameron Bad I Nam go this studio is touching our work. No I'm not ah um, but yeah, you go through all that an amazing Boulevard and you come to a bridge. With a ah with a man who for a moment I thought was full beasted out but he's just wearing a donkey mask right? Oh yes, sorry petroen. Yes, Yess please. 01:18:03.27 Leonard Um, yep. 01:18:05.50 Mat Oh no, we ah can we can we talk about the npc we we go by here. Yeah, there's 2 There's toma is the little boy right? and did we get the woman's name. No yes. 01:18:06.19 Dave Yeah roll roll back. There's two nbcs. 01:18:09.18 Leonard Um, oh yes. 01:18:13.46 Dave Um, yeah I. 01:18:13.97 Leonard Yes, now. 01:18:15.12 Cameron Yes, no, she's just sick. But. 01:18:22.29 Mat Get a crying woman asking for a baby and she says my family sent me here because I have the petrification disease and my baby is at City Hall Please go get my baby even though I can barely see my eyes are being covered in scales. Um, and so you agree to do that and then right next to her. 01:18:29.27 Cameron So. 01:18:38.10 Cameron Yep. 01:18:41.64 Mat Ah, is like a kind of early um skill gate. Um in the form of this watchman this mechanical watchman. Ah, who is just lightning fast. Ah and he can combo his moves together. Um. 01:18:45.89 Leonard The yes. 01:18:46.30 Cameron Yeah. Yeah, yeah. 01:19:01.50 Mat So you really need to know all of his tells you need to be watching those shoulders. You need to know when those arms are moving this guy just wiped the floor with me for a while because in early game. The strength build is extremely slow. Um, so there was just no way around it So I had to get good and get around this guy. Um. 01:19:02.60 Cameron Yeah. 01:19:12.40 Cameron Yeah. 01:19:20.28 Mat And it took a while but then yes oh for sure. Ah, but um, and then Toma is a little boy who ah his dialogue made me laugh so bad. Um. 01:19:22.84 Cameron Tougher than the first two bosses honestly. 01:19:34.20 Cameron M so. 01:19:37.51 Mat Because it was just like how much he loves the police and specifically ah the one point yes, specifically the 1 police puppet which the children have named Murphy ah wonderful robocop reference Leonard called it immediately in the chat when he got to it. 01:19:40.60 Cameron Hey hey the 1 police puppet. Yeah. 01:19:41.90 Leonard Gow. 01:19:41.55 Dave Well, the puppet police. 01:19:50.12 Leonard Um, yeah, yes, and. 01:19:51.14 Cameron Yeah, yeah, yes, ah it. 01:19:56.68 Mat Um, and and ah yeah, ah, but he apparently was malfunctioning um, didn't do things correctly had ah like an overcharge problem or something like that. There's some lower notes about it. 01:20:06.19 Cameron Yeah, his his battery was too powerful and so when they turned him on he literally started exploding and didn't stop until his exoskeleton was all beat to shit. 01:20:16.99 Mat Yep. 01:20:17.30 Leonard Um. 01:20:19.49 Mat Damn. 01:20:21.25 Cameron And they went well he doesn't look like a policeman now and the kid's eye but we still love him. But okay, we'll leave him out back of City Hall for the kids to play with. 01:20:26.43 Leonard Um, yep, Yes, ah. 01:20:28.20 Mat He's that 1 robot from Futurama that if he gets too excited. He blows up. He's a malfunctioning Eddie yeah, ah yeah, so ah, these 2 characters start. Ah. 01:20:32.33 Cameron Yeah, yeah, ah. 01:20:43.30 Mat With like you know, insol's games especially in Bloodborne ah you talk to people through a window. You see their hand or hear their coughing or whatever and they're like you know do this little task for me. Um, but the cool thing is ah if you get their quest item when you go to the stargazer which allows you to teleport between. 01:20:43.87 Cameron Oh yeah. 01:20:46.30 Leonard You make. 01:20:49.10 Cameron M. 01:21:02.23 Cameron Oh oh, that's cool. That's me. 01:21:02.34 Mat Bonfire locations. Um, it will show the quest item you need to use at the stargazer so you know once you have it So you know that there is an activity to be done in a previous area which I've heard some people cavet about a little bit because yeah. 01:21:06.64 Dave Once you have it. 01:21:13.68 Leonard Yes. 01:21:17.81 Cameron That's very cool. 01:21:20.90 Dave I didn't like it. Ah I wanted to find it out organically. 01:21:22.11 Leonard Um. 01:21:22.31 Mat Because like it takes away the exactly the mystery of figuring it out yourself. But for I don't know I get the fomo and I hate having to look up things that I miss and be like well I just had to go back with the like music box and play it for this and you know whatever. 01:21:23.62 Cameron Oh. 01:21:32.89 Cameron Ah. 01:21:36.80 Dave Um. 01:21:38.70 Cameron Yeah I don't. 01:21:40.16 Dave I Felt they did a good enough job in the item descriptions to tell to tell you what was going on provided you talk to the npcs. 01:21:42.40 Mat Yeah. 01:21:45.57 Mat Yeah, and so far there've only been two and where else could this stuff go honestly. 01:21:48.68 Leonard Right. 01:21:49.60 Cameron Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I mean yeah I don't have the the fear of missing Out. It's more that the second I pick an item up I Forget it Exists. So I Read the disputes and go oh cool that sounds like it's related to them and then I go and I turn a corner and fight one one puppet and my brain has forgotten that the item or the Npc exists. So. It's very helpful for me. Yeah, ah. 01:22:15.27 Leonard Um. 01:22:15.42 Dave Um, I'm constantly like looking through my inventory because I'm like I picked up stuff I got to go see and I so I always double check and then I've been reading the notes over and over again I'll have to read I I did too. 01:22:16.12 Mat Um, yeah. 01:22:24.60 Cameron And I actually ah I bought and I I bought a quest item recently I should check in the Apple yeah should check in and see if that goes anyway at some point. 01:22:24.95 Mat Dave loves to read Dave loves to read the yeah me too. Yeah. 01:22:31.65 Dave Probably the same one. 01:22:34.20 Leonard Um, the app. 01:22:38.14 Dave Yeah, so yeah, we have the we we picked up. Well you will pick up the items so those are the 2 npcs it's a ah lady looking for her baby and then um Toma who's just. 01:22:45.70 Cameron 3 yeah. 01:22:46.42 Mat Yeah. 01:22:53.14 Cameron And Mrs Murphy yeah 01:22:54.93 Mat Yeah, yeah, man he like lists a list of kids that he used to play with and like man all those kids are dead. Yeah, whole boy. 01:22:56.12 Dave He misses Murphy and his friends. He just wants to someone to play with. 01:23:03.62 Dave Yeah, yeah, so you kind of get the the checkpoint is you get out of the quarantine zone and you're onto the main bridge leading to City hall. 01:23:03.84 Cameron Oh yeah. 01:23:05.50 Leonard Yep. 01:23:17.67 Cameron Yeah, yeah, and this this is where we meet Donkey mask man who is beating on a door. It's grave vista. Yeah they they. 01:23:18.73 Mat What a good vista This is the puppet strung up. 01:23:28.62 Dave So in the in the promotional material before they did the demo the sign on the puppet that's strung up said um ah a a I put yeah all puppets are bad. 01:23:33.43 Leonard Yep. 01:23:39.87 Cameron Aab. 01:23:42.65 Leonard No, it did? Yeah yeah, yes. 01:23:43.93 Mat Ah, no way. Ah. 01:23:43.98 Cameron You really did they took that away and now it says purge puppets instead which I think is a coward move like especially in this zone where your primary enemy is police puppets it kind of feels appropriate almost but you know. 01:23:44.11 Dave They they? yeah they they they took that down. Um, yeah. 01:23:51.35 Mat Um, man. 01:23:57.80 Mat And yeah. 01:24:02.26 Cameron Real word kind real word con controversy dring into your fantasies I Guess not but they yeah I like that when it was shown.

So I don't think so yeah. 01:24:20.55 Cameron Yeah, yeah. 01:24:22.73 Mat Yeah I suppose so a lot of marketing people had to say yes to that huh. 01:24:22.98 Leonard Yeah,, That's ah like an in game asset. Yeah yeah I think that I don't know. Ah I don't know for a fact but I feel like there was like some rumblings about like. People not liking that when that first trailer. Yeah. 01:24:41.34 Dave Someone had to push back. Yeah, they're they're not going to take the time to make up that marketing bit and then just like reverse it. But anyway that was a bit of trivia. Ah yeah, so this the. 01:24:41.46 Cameron And yeah, 2 01:24:44.30 Mat Ah. 01:24:48.73 Leonard Um. 01:24:48.80 Mat Yeah, yeah, yeah. 01:24:49.17 Cameron Yeah, yeah. 01:24:58.46 Dave The guy in the donkey mask is because this is Pinocchio like oh this is obviously one of those like the kids the lost boys.

Oh the puppet string. Yeah. 01:27:14.22 Mat Yeah. 01:27:17.89 Leonard Um. 01:27:24.26 Mat I broke his weapon in half almost immediately and I was just like all this guy's doomed it just just made hamburger out of him.

This is gonna be fun. 01:27:24.37 Leonard Are. 01:27:26.84 Cameron All nice. 01:27:41.46 Cameron Yeah I mean it sort of illustrates the point like he's not. He's not difficult. He can He can beat you if you like get a little sloppy and you let him hit you a bunch but he goes down pretty easy. Well. 01:27:51.96 Mat Yeah, yeah, he's got a gigantic weapon. So the tell is super easy. You can tell when it's coming for you. Perfect blocks are super easy I Want this weapon I Hope you can get this weapon later. 01:27:55.49 Dave Just a couple good puppet punches take care of that. 01:28:04.48 Cameron So and you you can get that weapon. Yeah. 01:28:09.20 Leonard Ah, you can. 01:28:10.79 Mat Oh man I'm coming for you. 01:28:13.47 Dave I don't know so so in regards to the combat the hit boxes on the weapons is pretty accurate when you're doing like side to side swings which means if you hit a wall. 01:28:29.80 Cameron Yeah, only overheads inside for this weapon. 01:28:31.11 Leonard Um, yeah. 01:28:31.71 Dave It will stop the weapon like all the time. Yes. 01:28:33.30 Mat Yep, So when I'm in closed quarters I switch hilts. So I'm doing thrusting attacks and then when I'm out in the open I switch so I do my my big sweeps. Ah it it sucks but it works. 01:28:44.30 Cameron So here. 01:28:48.29 Dave I Yeah I've never changed any of the hilts or anything so far. 01:28:48.85 Cameron Right? yeah. 01:28:52.19 Leonard I have also done 0 weapon modification during my entire playthrough. 01:28:59.32 Dave Well because I put all my points into advance like when I went to change anything it dropped all the damage like horrendously so there was no good like um handle that was and. 01:29:05.52 Cameron Yeah, you you need an advance help.

They went from nothing to a d Dave I'm starting to think it's you. 01:29:18.37 Dave I did and I used it on I used it on my special weapon. Yes, but I mean it was already really strong so I was like maybe it'll buff it extra I don't know I didn't see any. It didn't do any bonus in the damages it just. 01:29:24.19 Cameron Ah, oh boy. Yeah. 01:29:27.76 Leonard Um, ah. 01:29:32.45 Mat Ah. 01:29:32.93 Cameron M. 01:29:36.92 Mat Oh. 01:29:37.65 Dave Gave it a letter but let me do it. So obviously maybe some where down the road. It'll power up I don't know. Um, yeah, so geppetto is freed from his his carriage. He was like holed up in and he's like here's. 01:29:37.69 Cameron So yeah. 01:29:43.65 Cameron Yeah, maybe yeah. 01:29:44.80 Mat Could be. 01:29:52.57 Cameron Yeah. 01:29:57.14 Dave Ah, key you need I am going to go back to the hotel because this is not safe for me out here I am very squishy and then puppets be swinging and the Donkeys and the cats and. 01:30:00.61 Leonard Um, yep. 01:30:01.50 Mat Yep, and. 01:30:01.86 Cameron I am an old man.

What was what was his programming before before I'm just like the kids are like sliding issues of zoo books into like whatever slot he's in. 01:38:20.96 Mat I know. 01:38:30.67 Cameron No, he's like he's like a super cop to chase people who are trying to run under the under the trackway so he swings along the bottom of the train tracks like a giant Orangutan The long arms are for grabbing people. 01:38:41.70 Mat Yeah, catches Fair Jumpers She and ah yeahp terrifying I mean everything about giant mechanical cop is terrifying and um, we should learn real world lessons about not building mechanical. 01:38:44.40 Leonard Um, ah. 01:38:47.19 Dave That's that's frightening actually. 01:38:48.70 Leonard Yeah. 01:38:50.16 Cameron Yeah, you. 01:38:56.47 Cameron M. 01:38:59.56 Mat But police state items anyway phase 2 um he like completely overloads. Um and is just electrified. Um, and this is when we start to deal with ah the first status that the game gives us electric blitz. Um. 01:39:02.00 Leonard Um. 01:39:17.19 Mat Where if we get Blitz we're more likely to we take more damage right? And if you blitz an enemy there. It's easier to yeah, it's a damage over time and if you blitz an enemy. They're easier to stagger. Obviously you can't blitz this enemy even though the vendor right before here is selling you all sorts of electrical stuff. 01:39:23.21 Dave Um, yeah, it's just it's a damage over time. 01:39:29.53 Cameron Button 3 01:39:36.93 Mat That not going to work on him. Um, but he'll do his same attack patterns and attacks. But we'll leave a charged like landmine on the ground. Ah that explodes after like a second or so so before the first days of this boss. You barely have to move you can stand still and just do your. 01:39:37.20 Leonard Yep. 01:39:37.51 Cameron No. 01:39:55.74 Mat Blocks You're fine, but this forces you to start using the dodge and it teaches you you know you got you got to start moving. Um, which I didn't learn that lesson fast enough I I had to go up against this guy a couple more times that I actually wanted to but by the end of it I really felt like I had mastered it so but. 01:40:04.70 Cameron So yeah. 01:40:13.60 Dave Um I was running the whole time. 01:40:15.35 Mat That the mark of a good boss. Oh I was standing dead still because I was super heavy so I was like Nope I'm just going to stand here and tank this. 01:40:15.46 Cameron That's cool. Yeah, you don't have the energy to run man. 01:40:19.85 Dave Um, yeah I was running because if he hit me I would die like that's that's also why so I know that there's like the unblockable attack I can never I don't have like like if I miss that. 01:40:25.19 Leonard Right. 01:40:37.51 Cameron Yeah, yeah, don't even try? Yeah yeah. 01:40:38.28 Mat Yeah. 01:40:39.19 Dave It's instant death. So I don't want to like like it's not something I feel like learning because I can't make a mistake. 01:40:45.42 Mat Yep! Dave's playing a glass cannon run but the cannon is like an old timey dueling pistol that takes five and a half minutes to reload. 01:40:52.39 Leonard Yes. 01:40:53.16 Dave Yeah. 01:40:56.70 Cameron And the um, the unblockable attacks are also undodgable If you're in the area. You don't have eyeframes on your dodge for those so you have to physically move out of space. Yeah, so. 01:40:59.70 Mat Yeah, yep. 01:41:00.80 Leonard Yep. 01:41:04.36 Dave Yeah I have to just be I have to be across the screen like if anyone's turning if they're glowing orange I just run away or I I run away just a little bit because that usually stuns themself. 01:41:07.52 Mat Yeah, you have to break lock and run. 01:41:13.58 Cameron The. 01:41:16.11 Mat Ah. 01:41:19.99 Cameron So yes, they have a few seconds cool down. Yeah. 01:41:21.36 Mat Yeah, yeah, no. 01:41:21.85 Dave For a moment and I can get a charged attack in yeah, so another thing that this a concession that this game makes this is ah it's single player. It's it's offline um a concession. It makes for the players is that there are Npc summinable. 01:41:22.74 Leonard Right. 01:41:30.60 Cameron E. 01:41:41.29 Dave Um, a characters that will come in and help you only for the boss white like they they don't run around on the levels. It's only for the boss flight. There's a little um I think it's called like the ah the Cracked vase or something. It's a it's a it's a fountain. 01:41:46.75 Cameron Yeah. 01:41:54.98 Mat Yeah. 01:41:55.80 Cameron Yeah, it's a bird. It's a bird bath. 01:42:00.35 Dave Yeah, the little birdbath outside of each of the boss doors. Um, and you can spend star fragments there. There are little items you pick up or they're dropped by puppets. Um, and each of those gives you like 1 summon chance. 01:42:00.88 Mat A font. 01:42:01.37 Leonard Um. 01:42:02.73 Cameron So. 01:42:15.69 Cameron Yeah. 01:42:17.64 Dave So it's ah it's a limited item as far as like you don't you can't just infinitely keep something unless you collect go collect more of the star fragments. Um, but you you probably have about 7 to 9 I think at this point. Yeah. 01:42:23.16 Mat Right. 01:42:23.72 Cameron So. 01:42:30.74 Cameron Yeah, they drop relatively frequently and there's a few set ones around. 01:42:36.75 Dave You? yeah yeah I think you just pick up. You probably pick up I think 5 or so um, but that gives you a second person when you're doing the boss battles to kind of maybe pull some of the boss's attention doesn't always often work. The Ai is limited and loves to just like run in and. 01:42:38.58 Mat Ah. 01:42:47.28 Cameron Yeah, yeah. 01:42:56.77 Dave Um, attacks and that's all they're going to do. They don't block. They don't really dodge a whole lot. They're very squishy. Yeah, ah but it's still some extra damage and some attention away from you. 01:42:56.98 Cameron Yeah, works well on murphy. 01:43:02.80 Mat Yeah, yeah. 01:43:07.32 Cameron Yeah. 01:43:08.47 Mat Yeah, usually what I just use them for is just a little the smallest window to praca status before I just start in on the boss. So later on you get legion arms that can do electric Blitz and flame damage and acid damage and whatever else you want to do. 01:43:16.48 Cameron M. 01:43:18.52 Dave Are. 01:43:24.72 Dave Now. 01:43:26.12 Cameron Yeah. 01:43:28.80 Mat Um, so the specter just kind of keeps them distracted for 10 seconds at minimum so you can proc that and then they just get grounded to dust. 01:43:35.99 Dave Yeah, oh the other system that we forgot to mention is that the the developers of this also must love Monster Hunter because they decided to give you a weapon grinder. Your weapon has a durability like in dark souls or in Monster hunter. 01:43:49.25 Cameron Yeah. 01:43:49.74 Mat Oh my God yep. 01:43:55.44 Dave And ah over time becomes less effective like it's the damage decreases over time. Ah, not each weapon has its own durability rating. So the the bigger weapons have a smaller durability and they'll they'll start to get like dollar sooner. 01:44:00.59 Cameron And. 01:44:05.84 Cameron Yeah, so. 01:44:12.61 Cameron Really yeah. 01:44:14.74 Dave And you use your grinder and you have it's unlimited. But basically you have to stand in place while you sharpen your weapon. 01:44:18.35 Mat Um, it really because like I don't have to sharpen that opt and and I'm using a huge weapon. Um, yeah. 01:44:21.20 Cameron Yeah. 01:44:26.40 Dave Really I have to cheveron all the time. 01:44:30.61 Cameron So might just be the particular one you use Dave has a load durability. Yeah yeah, that works. Yeah, um, I actually really like this because. 01:44:32.10 Dave Yeah I mean it's it's depends on your weapon like for sure. Yeah, because each weapon has its own. There's it's a value. 01:44:34.72 Mat Yeah, and you sharpen a club. 01:44:46.60 Cameron It's more like in dark souls. The durability stuff is just an annoyance like the weapon gets worn down and every now and again, there's an enemytomy that can instantly break it with acid or whatever but it's mostly just okay I need to go to a checkpoint and spend currency to keep the weapon working or whatever. 01:44:52.33 Mat Ah, here. 01:45:06.22 Cameron Um, in monster hunter. It's annoying because the monster is usually running away from you and you're like I got a sharpen and then I have to chase this thing down for another 5 minutes before I can actually fight it in this. It's in the level you just sharpen in between fights that's fine in a boss if the boss fight has gone on long enough. 01:45:10.25 Mat Yes. 01:45:11.99 Leonard Um. 01:45:25.73 Cameron It adds that extra bit of tension of if I want to keep my damage up I need to find that just just a moment even if you don't sharpen it all the way back up just sharpen it a bit more to get you through the rest of the fight and it adds that little extra tension if they break they break. 01:45:36.80 Mat Yeah, because if they break Yeah, if they break. Yeah, and if you don't have a backup already equipped. You need to menu and there is no pausing. So yeah. 01:45:48.85 Dave Now Yeah I've never had anything break I've always kept on sharp. But um, yeah, well I mean that's good to know ah in in addition, you can buy um, different sharpening stones or grinding stones that will. 01:45:48.98 Cameron Yeah, yeah, um, yeah I've avoided that as well. But I know I've yeah. 01:46:05.61 Cameron And. 01:46:08.13 Dave Add a weapon effect. Um 1 time like it's a 1 ne-time use item you can get multiple of them. But you you can only use. However, many, you have ah. 01:46:14.61 Mat Right. 01:46:15.37 Cameron So yeah, you can also um, later on set in to the actual grinder itself a special grindstone that you can use once per rest. Yeah and reset if you are. 01:46:23.75 Dave Yeah, an element that you can use once yeah 10 and that makes a lot of difference on some of the fights for sure. 01:46:25.82 Mat Yeah, once. 01:46:32.33 Cameron Yeah, yeah, yeah, being able to grind and get a fire status effect has been very helpful. Oh it's great. 01:46:40.82 Dave And the animation is fun too now the regular grinding animations kind of so the the grinder is in um Pinocchio's mechanical arm on his elbow and he just like runs the. 01:46:45.86 Mat Ah. 01:46:49.10 Cameron Pointed Elbow yeah. 01:46:53.82 Dave Blade or whatever Sometimes it's a wrench against his elbow to sharpen it. 01:46:54.59 Mat Yeah, it should be in the in the crook of his arm and not on the bottom of his elbow I know it should be on the inside like a knife sharpener like that would make sense and would look badass. 01:46:54.85 Cameron Yeah. 01:46:56.46 Leonard Um, yeah. 01:47:02.64 Cameron Oh yeah. 01:47:02.84 Dave It's on the outside. So it's weird. 01:47:05.42 Leonard Um, right. 01:47:08.75 Cameron Oh yeah. 01:47:10.60 Dave Yeah, because it's it would be the same animation as you are not animation but the same movement you would see in like a chamb butra ah like a sword fighting samminai film. Yeah, where they use the sleeve when the in inside arm to wipe it. 01:47:18.45 Mat Yeah, cleaning the blood off your sword. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 01:47:18.97 Cameron Yeah I guess it's it's probably a concession to the fact that some of these swords are bigger than his body and it would look a little weird to wedge that into your crook of your elbow first. 01:47:28.46 Leonard Right? The Texas good. 01:47:30.93 Mat Yeah, probably yeah. 01:47:32.40 Dave Um, yeah, easier to touch it to your elbow than put it inside your the folder arm. 01:47:34.56 Leonard Um. 01:47:36.19 Cameron Yeah, yeah. 01:47:43.39 Dave But yeah, that's um, that's the first bit. Um I think that's all the systems that you kind of run into so after the boss we won't go any further into the the game really. 01:47:49.10 Mat Yeah, yeah. 01:47:58.40 Dave But you do you? You find a whistle and a little police doll I think it drops from the Murphy from from the Murphy from the murf. Ah, and as Matthew mentioned when you look at your um Stargazer map. 01:48:02.55 Cameron Yeah, yeah, he drops that all from the mouth. 01:48:06.67 Mat Yeah, yep. 01:48:18.31 Dave Ah, your your teleport location thing. It shows you ah the little police dollhead or whatever on the Elysium Boulevard area. So You know oh wait I need to do something with the things I have. Ah. The earlier one being the doll that you return to the the lady and this one you have a doll and you have a whistle so when you go back to toma you you can like I don't think you can indirect with them Anymore. He might just say repeat his dialogue. 01:48:52.13 Cameron So. 01:48:52.64 Leonard Um, yeah. 01:48:52.91 Mat Okay. 01:48:54.39 Dave But if you go into your menu and then look at the whistle item you can click you can like interact with it and then Pinocchio will like blow the whistle. Um, as like an emot as an emot and Toma was like oh. 01:49:08.16 Cameron M. 01:49:11.70 Mat Ah. 01:49:12.18 Dave That sounds like Murphy Murphy are you out there I can't see you and you do think you just give him the little old all yeah, he's he's petrified. He can't come up like though it's I mean it's obviously sad end. But. 01:49:18.37 Mat He says he's too sick to come play. Yeah yeah. 01:49:21.20 Cameron Yeah, it's yeah. 01:49:30.83 Dave Um, you get some I think you get ergo from it. Yeah. 01:49:31.64 Mat Um, yeah, yeah. 01:49:31.83 Leonard Yeah, he gets you. He gives you some uranium for your troubles to make you feel better. 01:49:31.93 Cameron Yeah, pulls a fresh uranium fruit off his slowly petrifying body. Yeah. 01:49:40.60 Dave Oh yeah, little but little bud. 01:49:42.65 Leonard Um, yeah, ah. 01:49:44.29 Mat Oh. 01:49:46.68 Dave I Mean where else are they getting it from. It's got to be fruiting bodies there just must be plucking them off. 01:49:48.63 Cameron I've met an Npc who's talking about trees and fruit and I'm worried. 01:49:51.10 Mat Yeah I mean it's cool that there's Npc quest lines but I wish that they're either I mean I know it's it's It's early days. Still um, but maybe a couple more steps and maybe make the reward more than just. 01:50:00.41 Cameron Yeah, yeah. 01:50:07.64 Mat 200 souls or whatever the kid gives you it just it. It doesn't feel like why? Why am I doing this this is like 2 puppets. But. 01:50:11.77 Dave Yeah, some of the later ones I'm like you just gave me like an ampule like what the like I could have Okay, yeah yeah I think there's other stuff going on. But yeah, some of some of the rewards are like well I mean. 01:50:16.16 Leonard Yeah. 01:50:18.80 Mat Yeah, you really gave me nothing Yeah, like ah yeah, we'll get to it in the cathedral but like yeah. 01:50:20.71 Cameron Work with me here. Man. 01:50:31.33 Dave Ah, the reward I guess is the the journey itself and the lore that you're learning things about the world. 01:50:34.56 Cameron Yeah. 01:50:36.20 Mat Yeah. 01:50:37.30 Leonard And and in the case of like the old woman she does give you like there is the morality checkpoint that you get with that too which I'm sure affects something. So yeah. 01:50:46.57 Cameron Yeah, so. 01:50:47.10 Mat Yeah, it's gonna affect an ending Probably yeah. 01:50:53.27 Dave Um, yeah, so yeah, that's um, that's basically what the demo or the demo stops. Ah. 01:50:59.35 Cameron E Yeah, so. 01:51:02.68 Leonard Yes, it was ah it was a very delicious bite size vertical slice of the game. 01:51:06.24 Cameron Oh yeah, it's it's a great size of demo. Yeah, wish more games did that instead of like the 20 minute here you have like half of half of us building to run through or whatever. 01:51:06.61 Dave It. It's about 5 hours when you're trying to explore everything. 01:51:07.70 Mat Yeah, for yeah. 01:51:16.28 Dave Um, yeah, yeah I will say because they spent the time to um, update and like streamline things. 01:51:28.81 Cameron Written. 01:51:30.98 Dave Ah, this is ah this is an instance where unlike say final fantasy 16 your demo progress of of more than 5 hours carries over to the main game. That's not the case here. So it's it's a separate install. So there's no real. 01:51:39.80 Cameron Death between. Yeah, satisfied na. It's in the game and it's better for it just just play the game hey this is the official endorsement This game's good. 01:51:45.20 Leonard Yeah. 01:51:48.78 Dave Benefit to going back and like playing the Emmo if you didn't if you already own the game. Yeah yeah. 01:51:53.92 Mat Ah. 01:51:58.55 Leonard Yes, it's it. Yep. 01:52:01.30 Cameron If you enjoy souls games go play it. 01:52:03.10 Dave Yeah, or if you were playing the demo and like you were on the fence they addressed rest easy. They addressed the concerns people had or if it feels a little off it. They they fixed it. Um. 01:52:06.50 Cameron M. Yeah, yeah. 01:52:19.20 Dave Said that it was done but it's not so we do go back to the hotel because we have to meet with Jaetto we didn't get to actually talk to him. He talked at us. Um, so we meet him and he he gives a little bit of exposition and then he says he's missing um his his buddy. 01:52:21.54 Cameron Written. Yes. 01:52:26.12 Mat Yeah, yeah. 01:52:27.38 Leonard Ah, yes. 01:52:38.82 Dave Ah, has gone missing yes Senor Venini with the best spectacles because I'm rocking his glasses forever. 01:52:42.58 Mat Vanini the richest man and all of crot. 01:52:44.26 Cameron Venini Lawrenceini venini. 01:52:46.46 Leonard Yes, the the. 01:52:51.22 Cameron It does have great specs. 01:52:55.20 Dave They're good. It's like the smoky. It's the smoky like Quartz lenses. Ah, but so we mentioned the chair a little bit um in Geppetto's very ah, fancy like suite in the hotel. 01:52:56.49 Mat Right. 01:53:10.46 Cameron Yeah, yeah, okay. 01:53:11.47 Mat Yeah. 01:53:13.41 Dave Um, he has um, not only like Diagram like very like the the in game like the rendering of all the stuff on his desk and his like chalkboard. It's all really well done. Um, there's just a lot of like good. 01:53:22.68 Cameron And. 01:53:25.94 Leonard And. 01:53:26.10 Mat Here. 01:53:32.50 Dave Flavor design I don't know what else to call it sat dressing. Um, but he has a ah ah large elaborate chair that Pinocchio can sit in and power himself up. 01:53:33.38 Cameron Yeah, yeah, yeah. 01:53:34.20 Mat Yeah, yeah. 01:53:52.15 Dave Provided you find quartzs that are sprinkled throughout the world. Um, at this point you'll have 2 You should get here with 2 courts and there's not only the regular level up system. There's this. Um. 01:54:01.19 Cameron Yes. 01:54:12.40 Dave Ah P Organ level up system there. It is ah and this is a skill board so there are 3 tiers of ah attributes. 01:54:13.50 Mat There It is. 01:54:15.14 Cameron Um, yeah, yeah. 01:54:31.59 Dave Per skill and then each skill needs 2 quarts to fully activate and the skills are such things as improved like an extra dodge. 01:54:33.54 Cameron Yeah. 01:54:37.81 Leonard Yes. 01:54:39.20 Cameron And. 01:54:48.29 Cameron So yes I love that upgrade Just lets you dodge twice without stopping. It's really helpful. 01:54:53.61 Leonard The hint. 01:54:55.51 Dave Yeah, yeah, it's it attacks. Ah, it's It's weird because it's attacks on a dodge in the middle of your other dodge animation so you can dodge while yeah, you don't have to finish your dodge animation to to dodge again. 01:54:56.91 Mat Yeah I passed on that one. 01:54:59.75 Cameron 5 while you dodge. 01:55:05.85 Mat Right. 01:55:12.99 Dave So it like double jumps you kind of yeah um. 01:55:15.62 Cameron Yeah, yeah, um, you can also unlock more pulse cells which there's one last mechanic we didn't talk about so but pulse cells are like your esthers flask. But if you spend all of them. You can recharge a single one by continuously hitting enemies. Which means if you run out of healing and a boss fight. You're not out of luck if you can yeah you can work towards it you you can always work towards 1 although recharge is slower and slower each time. 01:55:30.64 Mat Yeah, yeah. 01:55:32.57 Dave Um, yeah, you get 1 left where always you always have 1 01:55:44.77 Dave Um, it's It's pretty slow. Yeah. 01:55:44.99 Mat Now. 01:55:47.44 Cameron But it saved my butt a ton of times it really helps give you that little extra push to I I can keep going because if I beat up 1 or 2 more puppets I'll have a heel and that can get me back to the stargazer. 01:55:48.74 Leonard Yes. 01:55:59.96 Mat Yeah, yeah, that it's like a big thing in Soul's game if I'm out of es this I will turn around because I'm like I got too many souls I can't lose this and I'll turn around and go. But now it's like oh no I'll just find some fodder and you know heal up and then I've always got one just in the barrel ready to go. It's It's great. 01:56:07.96 Cameron Written. 01:56:10.22 Dave Um, yeah. 01:56:16.18 Dave Yeah. 01:56:16.78 Cameron And. 01:56:19.41 Mat It's you wouldn't think you'd be able to improve the s to system. It's already pretty good but here we are. 01:56:24.30 Dave Yeah, they they dialed it in you do have also a homeward bone equivalent in the pocket watch. So that's unlimited. You can just warp back to either last stargazer point or the hotel. 01:56:30.13 Leonard Yes. 01:56:30.31 Mat Yeah, yeah, that's crazy. 01:56:30.73 Cameron Yes, Infinite Homeward bone 01:56:41.35 Mat Yeah, which is weird. They also give you your Self-destruct button Um, which it it has a great little bit of lore in it because geppetto was afraid you would frenzy So that's why he put that on you Um, but. 01:56:43.84 Dave That I would never. Yeah. 01:56:46.27 Cameron Um. 01:56:51.17 Cameron I. 01:56:56.81 Mat Yeah, why would you use that if you had unlimited Homeward bone I'm not really sure. Yeah, you lose your ergo. Yeah. 01:57:01.30 Dave Um, because you also lose your at your ergo so I will probably at the next time I play just ergo free. Ah do that because maybe there's an achievement for it. 01:57:14.48 Leonard Um, yeah, ah I was gonna say pants. 01:57:14.85 Mat Oh maybe? yeah. 01:57:17.27 Cameron Wonder if it's like near automata. 01:57:19.60 Dave I Yeah, you're running around with no pants. You're you're for your forever pants list because you just destroyed your pants with the explosion. 01:57:25.36 Mat Ah, here. 01:57:26.19 Cameron Show off that shava may. But yeah mean what else is new. Um, yeah, yeah, but. 01:57:37.30 Dave Yeah I can't think of anything else that we I mean we'll we'll be doing this for a while. So if we miss something. We'll just catch it next episode for sure. 01:57:42.42 Mat And I'm yeah, there's more stuff to unlock and more stuff to talk about? Yeah as we keep going? yeah. 01:57:43.18 Cameron Yeah, yeah, and it's yeah, it's solid like I know I've already said it's a great game but it it is a soulslike game that actually adds. 01:57:46.44 Leonard Yeah, this is only the beginning folks. We're covering the entire thing it is. 01:58:02.71 Cameron Meaningful things to the general formula like the the swapping of the blades and the handles we we didn't go too in depth on but it's so cool that you can swap the reach and move set around between weapons like that. Um, like. 01:58:14.29 Mat Yeah. 01:58:20.16 Cameron I've got the I've got the rapier blade on a dagger handle which means I've got pokes for my light attacks like the basic rapier but my charge attack is just a super quick swipe so to Stagger bosses I can do that as fast as a normal attack. It's it's great. Um. 01:58:34.38 Mat Who. 01:58:37.49 Cameron And you know like you've got your fire ax handle. You're jumping around with whatever weapon head you want and all that kind of stuff. It's really interesting because it lets them keep the blood born style of relatively few actual weapons while still having quite a bit of customizability and variety. 01:58:41.23 Mat Yeah. 01:58:56.22 Mat Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 01:58:56.83 Cameron In our weapon loadouts. It's really cool. 01:58:57.28 Dave Yeah, well I mean it's even more than just doubling the amount of weapons you've like I I don't know the math on that you've made quite a few. Yeah I guess ah the matrix of weapons. 01:59:02.51 Cameron Oh yeah, you do a factorial on it. Yeah. 01:59:09.11 Mat Yeah, it's very funny. You get this huge wrench. A little bit later on and the handle is the move set of this heavy wrench. So even if you put a very light rape your blade on it. You're just like ah. 01:59:24.39 Cameron Um, Bonk Um, yeah, yeah, the weapon heads do affect speed a little bit so like. 01:59:25.67 Mat And you're moving this like little needle around and it's It's very funny to see ah but I'm sure there's a use case for it somewhere so somewhere somebody's loving that. 01:59:35.83 Dave Um, so yeah, does it change the reach because I didn't mess with the new load. Okay. 01:59:40.61 Cameron Yeah, it does it does change reach. It's wild. Yeah, like you you can stick the ah the dagger on the boosterlave handle and have the world's shortest reach sweeps like is the tiny little blade is. 01:59:41.45 Mat It does change the reach. Yeah, that's why I use the fire ax handle. Yeah. 01:59:55.26 Mat Ah, earth. 01:59:58.34 Dave Um, but it's on fire at least. 01:59:59.31 Leonard If. 01:59:59.74 Cameron But it's on fire at least we know that's what Dave wants out of a weapon. So. 02:00:00.89 Mat Ah. 02:00:02.99 Mat Yeah. 02:00:03.18 Dave It needs to either melt Burn or electrify. Yeah, that's like a prerequisite of any weapon I use because all my points are in that. 02:00:10.33 Cameron Without me That's fair that is the cool stuff. 02:00:12.95 Mat Yeah. 02:00:18.58 Cameron Yeah I Wonder if they'll give us re spec option at some point. Yeah. 02:00:20.53 Leonard Um, fifty feet 02:00:20.97 Dave I mean I've adjusted it a little bit. It's It's a little better now. But um, yeah, well. 02:00:23.39 Mat Yeah, yeah I Wonder if there's a respect on the on the chair you sit in to do your courts. There's a second option that says change shape that you think so I I thought you'd be. 02:00:30.74 Dave Yes, so what I'm thinking that's doing is changing the skill board. 02:00:36.47 Cameron Maybe it might be like a full costume change because the the costumes are just closed but you might be able to like dress up as Polllandina or something at some point with it. Yeah. 02:00:38.13 Leonard Um, ah. 02:00:40.45 Mat Piloting different puppet bodies. 02:00:41.36 Dave Are for. 02:00:49.75 Dave Oh like they they they've decided to borrow from like Neo yeah I feel like it changes the skill board though. But I don't know if it's robust enough for that because you're not running across that many chords we'll see. 02:00:52.22 Mat Yeah, um. 02:00:56.14 Cameron Yeah I would hope that that'd be cool and we'll figure out we'll learn eventually. 02:00:58.14 Leonard It might. 02:01:02.52 Mat Yeah, a it could be respect. It could just be respect. Yeah yeah, we'll get there when we get there. Ah do we know like a point where we're recovering next beat week or do you want to cover up to the archbishop or do we want to just go to foocco. 02:01:02.58 Leonard It might it might it might allow for re spec to. 02:01:07.80 Dave Yeah, yeah, well we'll find out. 02:01:20.98 Dave It'll just be too focco. Well yeah, maybe a little maybe a little more. The thing is the the lower stuff's not as dense until later. Ah, and there's there's less. 02:01:21.17 Cameron Ok Venini workshop up Next we'll see. 02:01:21.89 Mat Okay, sounds good. Yeah. 02:01:30.92 Leonard Yeah. 02:01:31.19 Mat Yeah, yeah. 02:01:31.45 Cameron Yeah. 02:01:37.50 Dave Things going on between the city hall and foo like it's a big level but not enough stuff. It'll it'll will will. We'll let everyone know, um prior to the episode releasing like probably like Tuesday or so. 02:01:43.12 Leonard You right? other. 02:01:43.38 Mat Yeah, now that. 02:01:43.46 Cameron So yeah. 02:01:53.68 Cameron I yeah. 02:01:56.79 Dave Because we've already covered it so in in gameme. Anyway, we're we're past that point so we'll we'll decide what the next bit will be I initially wanted to do a by like zone. But I think that that I think that's just going to mean some episodes will be like different length. 02:02:12.45 Leonard Right. 02:02:12.76 Cameron Yeah, all right. 02:02:14.64 Mat Yeah, fair enough. Oh my gosh. Ah, ah yeah, that's it Um, do we want our are we giving out our our ah blue Sky handles. 02:02:15.97 Dave All right Matthew wrap wrap it up for us. 02:02:31.39 Mat Now or are we just going to say go to the website Monster Deer Monster what is it monster dearer dot monster. yeah um yeah I am at the ugly machine blue sky dot social um I'm always posting art and metalworking stuff. 02:02:34.94 Dave Go ahead and do the blue sky one where I think everyone's kind of ported themselves over now at this point. 02:02:37.61 Cameron Don't monster. Yeah, where there what is my blue sky and it'll hold on with this is. 02:02:51.32 Mat Um, knives all that fun stuff.
