Tony Sisk
Hi folks, welcome back to Good Game Radio, this is Tony, your host speaking, and tonight I'm here with Vance. Jaime is, I don't know where he's at. Something about work.

So Vance, what's going on?

00:00:24.11
Sentfrmheaven
Yeah. Man, nothing much. Nothing much. ah Man, trying to stay warm in these November flurries that we're getting.

00:00:34.52
Tony Sisk
Yeah, it was like 27 degrees this morning or something. There was a couple of flurries out there. Not too bad. I mean, I stayed in the house. I didn't get out.

00:00:47.94
Sentfrmheaven
Oh yeah, oh yeah, snug as a bug I bet.

00:00:48.26
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

00:00:51.78
Tony Sisk
Yeah. And did you paint your background? is It looks yellow. Has it always been yellow?

00:00:59.55
Sentfrmheaven
So, I'm glad you noticed. So I actually switched my camera around because so usually like um my camera's looking at like my gamer monitor. for when I stream, but it's like, so when we do the podcast, it's like, I'm looking straight, but it's like, you know, I'm looking at you, and Jaime, and so it's like the side you, so I switched it tonight, so I'm like, now, when I'm looking at you, I'm looking at the camera, so it's, yeah, so this is a different wall than what y'all, what you usually see, yeah, yeah, yeah,

00:01:11.00
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

00:01:28.39
Tony Sisk
Okay. Okay. You just changed the the direction of the camera. Okay.

00:01:32.70
Sentfrmheaven
yeah yeah i'd say

00:01:33.50
Tony Sisk
I thought, wow, he painted the background. Fancy. and I see you got your sound buffering stuff up there.

00:01:39.60
Sentfrmheaven
Yes, yes, yes, yes. Cut down on the noise pocket.

00:01:41.91
Tony Sisk
yeah give you good give the audience good quality sound awesome that's what we're here for

00:01:47.45
Sentfrmheaven
And you know, we try to, we try to, you know, yeah, yeah, you know, bring the audience the best. We try.

00:01:53.52
Tony Sisk
so uh you texted me this weekend you uh you picked up battlefield or battlefield 6 or are you playing like is there like a free version of their uh battle royale how's that working

00:02:10.57
Sentfrmheaven
Uh, yes, um, because I heard that there was a rumor that they were doing a, uh, like a battle royale to, um, so, you know, rival war zone, uh, so they, uh, but they released it 18 days after initial release, so it was something that, you know, you had to wait for, because, you know, of course, you know, they want people to get the full experience of,

00:02:36.84
Sentfrmheaven
the actual game before they, you know, do like a little side thing sort of like that. But yeah, so it's called Red Set. So if you look on ah Xbox, PlayStation or PC, it's called Battlefield Red Set. And it's a free version of Battle Royale.

00:02:52.01
Tony Sisk
Okay, so do you download the free version?

00:02:56.99
Sentfrmheaven
Yes, yes. Download the free version. And um so like you have the options of, you know, like the multiplayer and other things like that. But, you know, when you try to click on those things, it's going to ask you to download the full version of the game.

00:03:10.61
Sentfrmheaven
You know, they're going ask you to pay that $70, you know.

00:03:10.71
Tony Sisk
Right.

00:03:14.24
Sentfrmheaven
um But, yeah, so, ah you know, yeah, Red Sick is just a free battle royale. And I think right now it's only 2v2s and quads.

00:03:25.31
Sentfrmheaven
Duos and quads are the only a options right now.

00:03:25.61
Tony Sisk
Okay.

00:03:29.44
Tony Sisk
So yeah, that dropped when they started season one. that It has been a couple weeks since that season one dropped and the battle pass and everything like that. that And I was having all kinds of issues trying to figure out exactly how the battle pass worked.

00:03:47.91
Tony Sisk
It doesn't, ah it's just it' not as clear as what would find on Call Duty, I don't think. And ah the progression seems a lot slower too, as far as far as the battle pass goes.

00:03:59.19
Sentfrmheaven
yeah

00:04:00.96
Tony Sisk
But I also have not played Battle Royale. But I haven't played a lot of Battle Royale in a while. So I quit playing that on Call Duty for a couple of years. So a I couldn't tell you what the comparison is now. So what is the comparison? I'm just...

00:04:22.10
Sentfrmheaven
Oh, man. I'm glad you asked. So with the battle pass, yeah, um I'm definitely confused about it too because I see that I'm getting leveled, but I don't know if I have the battle pass. I don't know if I got to buy it. So yeah, I'm definitely confused with that.

00:04:36.12
Sentfrmheaven
um For the people that have ah gone away from the battle royale, this is probably he like one of the the best time to get back in because battlefield as you know is a slower pace but it's not in a sense of slower game if that makes sense like you know you might see people wars on down there sliding and doing all these shenanigans whatever like that and like it gets faster pace as you know like the circle gets smaller but the the big differences to me is that it's not really like gas as the um out of barrels it's more like a fire

00:05:14.00
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

00:05:14.03
Sentfrmheaven
And if you get hit by the fire, then you die instantly. So it's not like Call of Duty where people can sit in the gas and they're stimming up and they gas masks and they can, you know, do all these shenanigans in the gas. It's like, no, it um it's very, like, life-like, you know. So that's that one of the things that I like about

00:05:36.42
Sentfrmheaven
Now, what I have to get used to is the sniping on Battlefield because with, you know, Call of Duty, it's like some of the guns, you know, you can just, they're semi-automatic. But with Battlefield, it's, you know, shot, reload, shot, reload.

00:05:51.37
Sentfrmheaven
And I got to remember to drop my scope before reload, you know.

00:05:53.99
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

00:05:55.73
Sentfrmheaven
but um But, yeah, but Battle Royale is ah slower paced, but you have to be more, How can I say? Like, Battlefield isn't as forgiving as Call of Duty.

00:06:07.45
Sentfrmheaven
So, if you see me in Call of Duty and you start putting shots on me, I can hit the little my little stem needle and I can run away. It gives me, like, the health boost and the speed boost for a short amount of time.

00:06:16.92
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

00:06:18.33
Sentfrmheaven
For Battlefield, since you do move slower, if they see you more than likely, you're probably going to die. If they put enough shots on you, you know, so it's like...

00:06:23.28
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

00:06:25.37
Sentfrmheaven
um You have to be, you have to move with a purpose and as a team. Like, if you're playing duos, stick with duos. If you're playing quads, stick with your quads. Like, that solo stuff that, that ah you know, people are used to, no, it's very team-based, you know. and um And, man, you know, ah when, ah I like the vehicles.

00:06:45.89
Sentfrmheaven
I love vehicles in Battlefield, you know, because, you know, and Now, if you do play Battle Royale and don't get in the golf carts, you can run faster than the golf cart. oh But it makes sense.

00:06:58.56
Sentfrmheaven
You know, you got four grown men or four grown people weighted down with armor, plates, ladders, guns. and Like, yeah, the golf cart will move a little slow, so everybody's, you know, running around.

00:07:09.07
Tony Sisk
yeah

00:07:10.10
Sentfrmheaven
But but yeah, you definitely have to check it out. therefore take it out i think youll real you'll enjoy it.

00:07:16.00
Tony Sisk
I'll have to check it out. What's the destruction like? Can you destroy buildings and stuff? Like, do walls blow out? and Is that all present?

00:07:26.12
Sentfrmheaven
Uh, yes. Um, so you know how, uh, when you play Call of Duty, you can call in a kill streak and a kill streak. Um, let's say if it's either napalm or, um, if it's like a cluster or precision airstrike, like if you're in the path of it, then only you're going to get hit.

00:07:45.42
Sentfrmheaven
Um, they have like a cluster strike, a variation on Battlefield where it's like, um, you know, it's like one them old time movies where everybody's standing around a little, pipe on like a ground tripod and they i guess they put like a little missile or grenade in and everybody moves and lets it shoot but it's probably like a three foot tube or something like that you know like back yeah okay mortars there you go mortars strike hey that's why tony's man so yeah so when you call a mortar on a building like so if you're on a garage

00:08:06.18
Tony Sisk
Yeah, a mortar.

00:08:17.24
Sentfrmheaven
and you haven't owned the building, it's going to level that building. So when um when the team gets that notification, you'll see everybody parachute off. Like, it's not like Call of Duty where just run inside and hide and wait for it to, you know, be over and I can pop back out.

00:08:29.89
Sentfrmheaven
No, that building is going to come down, you know. So the the destruction environment is very real.

00:08:32.78
Tony Sisk
Right.

00:08:36.41
Sentfrmheaven
They have tanks on the game. So, you know, tanks is leveling everything. So it's like, you know, We was the one builder. was looking out. man, okay, guy, you know, he has a tank. So we popped back in the building.

00:08:47.61
Sentfrmheaven
And then, like, everybody reacts with the same. Oh, it's a tank. So it's like, like you know, the stairs go, the sign of the house is going, and we're running for life.

00:08:56.10
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

00:08:57.00
Sentfrmheaven
Like, that's a tank. So, yeah, so the destruction environment is very, very, very, very real.

00:09:03.90
Tony Sisk
and Okay. Cool. Yeah, I want to play. The last time I played Battlefield was a couple of days ago before weekend started.

00:09:14.61
Tony Sisk
I played some multiplayer stuff. Trying to level up my

00:09:23.40
Tony Sisk
one of my assault rivals. Uh, so yeah. I mean, yeah, the the game is extremely fun. It's, I think it's got the executives over, uh, Activision probably worried because Battlefield is back.

00:09:41.79
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

00:09:41.83
Sentfrmheaven
Yes.

00:09:43.43
Tony Sisk
I don't know what the player count now but is now, but i think at one point it was it sold like, you know, 14 million copies in like a couple of days or something.

00:09:43.45
Sentfrmheaven
Battlefield is back.

00:09:54.76
Tony Sisk
it's Something ridiculous.

00:09:55.04
Sentfrmheaven
Yeah. Yeah, and it's like, I'm glad Battlefield is back. Like, me being a a lifetime, like, Call of Duty player, I appreciate Battlefield because all the it seems like battlefield like they watch call of duty and all the cheesiness that's in call duty they say okay we're gonna get rid of that and we're gonna give you a good product and they did and it's like you see like a lot of people you know that are usually heavy um call of duties like now they're bouncing back and forth because it is you know a good game and um another thing too was like uh

00:10:33.63
Sentfrmheaven
um Another difference is they have redeploy stations for your team, but um it's like a is it's almost on the lines Fortnite.

00:10:38.15
Tony Sisk
Mm-hmm.

00:10:43.50
Sentfrmheaven
So you can redeploy for free. But um the more teammates that you have standing on deploy, the faster the time goes, the countdown. But while you're standing there, you know, like with Fortnite, it like alarms you that somebody is, you know, using the van.

00:11:00.86
Sentfrmheaven
of course the same thing in battlefield like it's like a that that lets you know somebody's reviving somebody or trying to you know bring a team back so it's definitely uh definitely um you know pretty good because mean like sometimes it's tough to find five hundred dollars on call of duty so like man i don't have to spend you know money you know to bring you back and you might be afk or something like that we could have bought a whole load out with that so yeah so battlefields definitely did a good job of countering

00:11:10.02
Tony Sisk
yeah Okay, cool.

00:11:28.56
Sentfrmheaven
you know, the things that was wrong with Warzone. war zone

00:11:34.47
Tony Sisk
Now have to get back out to get in there and check it out. Like I've, When I've played Battlefort, I've played the multiplayer because I'm trying to level up my guy and get new weapons and attachments and stuff like that.

00:11:48.58
Tony Sisk
Which is a lot slower. it's ah it's a very It's definitely a slower progression is as far as trying to like make your character.

00:12:00.70
Tony Sisk
And it's not really it's not that you're making your character better. You're making you know hit the equipment pool better. So you have more options and and you know the weapons are better with the better attachments and stuff like that. Like the base ah assault rifle that you start with if your assault is trash.

00:12:23.00
Tony Sisk
And I still, I was level 50 in Battlefield. And I still use that assault rifle even though it's trash because I ah i unlocked all the attachments.

00:12:37.51
Tony Sisk
And I have gotten it to where it's serviceable, right? So I still use it, even though it's not the greatest. ah But I've tried some different other weapons, and I could definitely see, like, oh, this like my next the next weapon I unlocked was, like, an AK-12 or something.

00:12:58.58
Tony Sisk
and i don't i don't know where they got the specs for these weapons like you know they say like uh we we went we had our developers go and shoot the real weapon uh the will the real weapon in real life you know so they could get a feel and that's uh this is how the gun felt you know and i'm thinking i'm like really an ak-12 shoots like this i'm like

00:13:24.53
Tony Sisk
It's so smooth. ah like you there's like no There's no recoil at all with no attachments. right It's like the base...

00:13:36.41
Tony Sisk
AK. I'm like, this is an AK who shoots like this? I'm like, no way. Because I remember back like when the Ukrainian war started back in 2022 and you know the Russians had kind of got their noses bloodied early in the war, right?

00:13:53.49
Tony Sisk
And they're still getting their noses bloodied. But ah when they were retreating back toward the east and the Ukrainians were recapturing a lot of territory and stuff,

00:13:56.33
Sentfrmheaven
that

00:14:06.45
Tony Sisk
you know, the war is like a lot small scale infantry battles, right? And I remember them saying, oh, the AK-12 or whatever the Russians are using is garbage.

00:14:20.85
Tony Sisk
and so you know i'm here in the in the video game obviously it's a video game and i'm like man this gun shoots really good i'm like it is so accurate and it's there was no recall the only drawback is like your starting clip is only like 20 rounds so more often than not like

00:14:40.42
Sentfrmheaven
Right. Yeah, right. Yeah.

00:14:44.04
Tony Sisk
You couldn't kill the enemy with that clip. You had to reload and that's when you would die, right? Because, yeah oh, I got to reload. And then they would step out and shoot you.

00:14:54.42
Sentfrmheaven
yeah right

00:14:57.98
Tony Sisk
So that's why i would I kind of like have stuck with the starting. can't remember. the or something. I don't know. what I can't remember. But you could get like a 30 round magazine.

00:15:07.33
Sentfrmheaven
yeah

00:15:10.51
Tony Sisk
And you can get the attachments where, know, the gun's not spraying all over the place. It's got a little bit tighter spread. And, I mean, 30 rounds is a lot when you're at when you're you're kind of acclimating to a game, right?

00:15:28.10
Tony Sisk
So it's like you need those 30 rounds because you don't your your aim, like,

00:15:30.92
Sentfrmheaven
Right. Right.

00:15:34.74
Tony Sisk
in battlefield it's not like call duty like i can go into call duty and one game in my accuracy it will improve like 100 like two three times right because i remember how to play call duty i've played call duty all the time so even though it's been eight months since the last time i put it in and played

00:15:52.25
Sentfrmheaven
right

00:15:58.12
Tony Sisk
Give me a game or two. I'll be right back where I was. Right? Battlefield? Nope. Uh-uh. Man, I can paint... an outline around somebody, right?

00:16:09.86
Sentfrmheaven
All right.

00:16:10.20
Tony Sisk
With bullet holes and not get one lick, one shot in on them.

00:16:10.53
Sentfrmheaven
i

00:16:14.95
Tony Sisk
Like I can't hit the broad side of the barn. And it took me two weeks before I could get that, that aim down. I was just adjusting like this, the sensitivity, you know, ah to try and dial it in and stuff. I like, man, this is tough.

00:16:32.58
Tony Sisk
And then when I started using the AK, I was like, man, this is like, so much better than that starting weapon but then i realized oh man if i don't kill him with that first clip then i'm i have to reload and reloading is slow in battlefield it's like

00:16:52.13
Sentfrmheaven
Right.

00:16:54.49
Tony Sisk
they really did like

00:16:54.51
Sentfrmheaven
Yeah.

00:16:55.71
Tony Sisk
They really did like simulate like how long it takes to reload a gun.

00:16:56.02
Sentfrmheaven
it ah

00:16:59.99
Tony Sisk
Like, oh, yeah, let me get this new clip out you know and put it in there. you know Let me draw the charging handle back. And they're like, oh, I'm dead.

00:17:11.47
Sentfrmheaven
Right.

00:17:11.79
Tony Sisk
So, yeah.

00:17:11.91
Sentfrmheaven
Exactly. Exactly. Yeah.

00:17:13.51
Tony Sisk
So that's why like everybody I talked to like who started, they were like playing the LMG, the support class.

00:17:13.55
Sentfrmheaven
cause i was trying to

00:17:19.53
Tony Sisk
The LMG has like, you know, 100 rounds, right? That makes a big difference. Because it's like, oh, yeah, I'm getting like, because I was playing, you know, with a couple other guys who started at the same time I did. And like, they're playing support.

00:17:33.06
Tony Sisk
I'm playing assault. And every match, you know, they would have like 12 or 13 kills. And I was like, I'd have like five. I'm like, am I that bad?

00:17:45.52
Tony Sisk
Really? So then I would play support. And then i would have 12 or 13 kills. Right? And then I would go back to Assault and only get like 4.

00:17:54.82
Sentfrmheaven
Right.

00:17:57.30
Tony Sisk
like It's like the weapon made that big a difference because like, oh, I can just, I don't have to worry about the reloading aspect.

00:18:07.90
Sentfrmheaven
right

00:18:08.03
Tony Sisk
So, big difference. Big difference. But yeah, Battlefield's been great this year. I am curious how Call of Duty is going to play, though. So I don't know. I don't have any Game Pass, and I don't know if it's going to be available on Game Pass. I don't ah think they said it's not available on Game Pass.

00:18:25.80
Tony Sisk
ah do You have to buy it. They learned from last year. They lost like $300 million. dollars ah By Including Game Pass So I don't think it's going to be on Game Pass I don't know I'm going to buy it or not Maybe I'll wait, but I don't know We'll see, we'll see what the verdicts Of some of the other Reviewers come ah come and say about it We'll see But

00:18:32.48
Sentfrmheaven
Right.

00:18:48.29
Sentfrmheaven
Yeah. Yeah. Like, look, we're going to charge you $30, but we're going to take one of the biggest titles off, by the way.

00:18:56.31
Tony Sisk
Yeah, yeah. So, yeah. yeah i like I'm enjoying Battlefield. But, and let me tell you about another game that I'm really, really enjoying.

00:19:09.40
Tony Sisk
I tried to get you to play this beta like three weeks ago before it came out.

00:19:09.74
Sentfrmheaven
Nah. I did play the beta. I did play the beta.

00:19:14.10
Tony Sisk
You did play the beta. Okay.

00:19:15.46
Sentfrmheaven
I did play the beta.

00:19:16.80
Tony Sisk
ah So, they gave you a little small taste of of this game. And this game is Ark Raiders.

00:19:22.16
Sentfrmheaven
Yes.

00:19:24.00
Tony Sisk
And this game has knocked... is surging in the steam charts, right? It's like surpassing like even Helldivers. ah it's just It's been a super success.

00:19:38.13
Tony Sisk
i have It's been super smooth and it's been a great experience. Did you pick up a copy? Have you yet?

00:19:46.19
Sentfrmheaven
I have not picked up a copy yet Arc Raiders.

00:19:49.26
Tony Sisk
Okay. ah So you know the concept though, right?

00:19:53.99
Sentfrmheaven
Yes, yes.

00:19:54.12
Tony Sisk
That they they introduced you to. So for the audience, it's in the future. post-apocalyptic world basically taken over by Skynet.

00:20:05.43
Tony Sisk
That's all can think of, right? Terminator, right? ah The Terminator world. And humanity is living underground. And they so they send up raiders to collect resources to bring back to the city so you know they can advance their technology and try and reclaim some civilization.

00:20:29.68
Tony Sisk
So you play as a raider. And you, so the object is you get in like this little subway shoot thing and they, they send you out and you don't know where going open up at.

00:20:43.54
Tony Sisk
So you, drops you to a random starting point on the map. And the very first map is called the dam. um And it's a it's a fairly good sized area.

00:20:57.32
Tony Sisk
ah And it's ah it's a dam complex, a research facility, ah water treatment plant, a power station, and a bunch of different other areas, like an old area where there was a battle.

00:21:13.02
Tony Sisk
There's like a swamp area and stuff like that. Anyway, that's a starting zone. And then the next zone, then there's other zones like and the lot the underground city. no not the underground city There's a city that's in the desert that's kind of like being reclaimed by the desert.

00:21:31.72
Tony Sisk
So you have like mountains of sand that a kind of a like in between all these buildings and stuff.

00:21:34.44
Sentfrmheaven
you

00:21:37.92
Tony Sisk
And then you have the rocket space complex where it's just oh like NASA facility that's got all these you know rockets.

00:21:49.92
Tony Sisk
and um and there's some others there's like two or three other locations too but your goal is to go up and loot items out of anything you can find cars buildings lockers off dead people off of the enemies which are called ark they're the robots and they're Basically drones, like ah they're everywhere in the sky and they're looking for humans. And when they, they see them, they, they open fire.

00:22:23.74
Tony Sisk
Right. And then you have like round ones that roll on the ground.

00:22:25.24
Sentfrmheaven
Right.

00:22:27.24
Tony Sisk
That blow up when they come up to you. And then you got like big giant spider ones. And tanks. Walking tanks and stuff like that. And they're all out to get you.

00:22:38.32
Tony Sisk
And your objectives. they There's quests in the game. This is like a really. ah It's an RPG. Really. it's it called It's basically an extraction shooter RPG.

00:22:52.35
Tony Sisk
So you go in. a match is like 20 minutes if you have a timer and then there's multiple locations where you can leave the map once you've gotten what you need.

00:23:04.09
Tony Sisk
Uh, but those are close, uh, at various times. So like one will close within five minutes of when you get on the map and then the next one will close within 10 minutes and it goes on like that.

00:23:17.59
Tony Sisk
There's like typically four or five locations that, um, are on a timer and they're basically elevators um that are called to the surface. So when you are ready to leave, you go, you find one of these elevators and you, if if there's still time, you go up and you activate it.

00:23:37.02
Tony Sisk
And all of a sudden these alarms start going off. So it no it alerts every arc within the facility that somebody is trying to extract. So then you wait for the elevator to come up, which takes like, you know, 30 seconds.

00:23:50.96
Tony Sisk
And then you make the run to get onto the elevator and then activate it at the gu computer station before you get killed.

00:24:03.07
Tony Sisk
So fortunately, though, if you do get killed, if you get knocked. So there's two states, right? Uh, if you get take damage exceeding your HP, you get knocked down to your knees, right? So you're wounded, basically. You're severely wounded and you're bleeding out.

00:24:23.94
Tony Sisk
In that state, you can actually wait for the elevator timer to run out and it will take you down. And fortunately... like The robots won't attack you while you're in that state.

00:24:36.31
Tony Sisk
like They'll leave you alone.

00:24:39.02
Sentfrmheaven
Terrible.

00:24:40.10
Tony Sisk
So you can still escape with all your stuff.

00:24:45.30
Tony Sisk
The problem is there are other human players. This is a multiplayer game. So there are other humans. And you have to worry whether not a human is going to come up and knock and finish you off.

00:24:59.88
Tony Sisk
and So he can loot your body. So the first cup, so this game has been like two weeks now.

00:25:03.29
Sentfrmheaven
there

00:25:07.63
Tony Sisk
And well, not I don't think it's been that long that long, maybe a week.

00:25:14.58
Tony Sisk
A lot of early encounters in the game, like the enemies are bad enough. But there's like these tense standoff situations that you constantly get into with other players.

00:25:26.69
Tony Sisk
And um you don't know if they're friendlies or what their intentions are. So early on, like, and it depends on what time of day you're playing too.

00:25:38.15
Tony Sisk
Because like, when you, if you play at night, dude, you get home from work, you want to play some work. You get in there. You go to the damn complex.

00:25:51.95
Tony Sisk
You go to complete a quest. You find a super rare blueprint to a weapon. Right? Oh. Awesome. Let me get this out of here.

00:26:03.12
Tony Sisk
I'm heading to the extraction. You run into extraction. And right before you get to extraction. bam, bam, bam, bam.

00:26:13.94
Tony Sisk
Some dude tears into you with his submachine gun, comes up, finishes you off, takes your blueprint. Right. So there is that.

00:26:26.37
Tony Sisk
I know Jaime. I don't know if I don't know what Jaime would like ah like this or not. I don't think he typically likes that that sort of stuff. However, I will say.

00:26:33.94
Sentfrmheaven
Thank you.

00:26:35.04
Tony Sisk
Again, it's dependent on what time of day you're playing. I think the later at night you're playing, the more of the viciousness comes out. But like in the daytime, ah it's not as bad. And i I feel like it's happened so much to so many people that...

00:26:54.53
Tony Sisk
that

00:26:57.10
Tony Sisk
that they went through a period where they did it to, they just shot first and ask questions later. And then now there's kind of gotten into, there's emotes you can use in the very first email, which is at the top of your D pad, which is controls your emotes is don't shoot.

00:27:19.59
Sentfrmheaven
That's

00:27:20.14
Tony Sisk
So it's like, it's almost like a, if you say don't shoot,

00:27:20.70
Sentfrmheaven
that's one

00:27:26.51
Tony Sisk
it's a declaration that you're not going to shoot either. So, uh, for right now, there's like this uneasy, like etiquette right now that I've encountered. Cause every time I've seen that play out, the don't shoot either one, everybody backs off or two, um, like,

00:27:54.64
Tony Sisk
they don't want to violate some unwritten rule and that they're going to bring bad karma to them. I don't know. But, but yeah, now, now you run across other players and there you run a lot across across a lot of other players.

00:28:02.37
Sentfrmheaven
correct Right, right.

00:28:09.71
Tony Sisk
I mean, they're everywhere. I don't know how many people are on a map at the same time, but they're everywhere. And now it's, you know, you, you, you see somebody in trouble, you know, he's getting overrun by arcs. You know, I don't have a problem.

00:28:24.65
Tony Sisk
jumping in helping them out uh killing those guys off or whatever ah the last game i played today i went into like a ah area with on the map that was the most like a high difficulty area because like they have like easy areas on the map and medium areas and then high difficulty areas right in the high difficulty areas offer better loot so they say uh Though I will attest that I went to this high difficulty area like three times in a row in three different games. And I did come away with some blueprints.

00:29:05.63
Tony Sisk
So I guess it it was worth going to it.

00:29:09.36
Sentfrmheaven
Mm-hmm.

00:29:09.45
Tony Sisk
But I had just gotten like enough money to buy this really good-looking rocket launcher, like grenade launcher weapon.

00:29:24.00
Tony Sisk
And i was like, i want to go test it out. So you can carry a primary and a secondary. So I put the secondary rocket launcher in my secondary slot.

00:29:35.42
Tony Sisk
And I carried an upgraded ah like ah so um handgun that shoots too two bullets at a time.

00:29:46.21
Sentfrmheaven
Nice.

00:29:46.29
Tony Sisk
Now, I went in there. And ah went to the difficult area. I was looking for what ah this one particular UAV drone thing. It's called the Rocketeer.

00:30:02.74
Tony Sisk
It's a massive ship that just floats real slow. And he shoots rockets at anybody sees. Well, to ah I was looking for a specific part that came off of him because when you kill these enemies, you you loot their bodies for, you know, different parts and that you take those parts and you can craft new gear with them.

00:30:31.73
Tony Sisk
So ah the better gear requires getting parts off more difficult enemies.

00:30:31.91
Sentfrmheaven
Mm-hmm.

00:30:38.07
Tony Sisk
So I was like, okay, I didn't want to take this guy on with the weapons I had before because i had seen the outcome of attacking it.

00:30:49.10
Tony Sisk
both I attacked it one time before and like, okay. Fortunately, I survived because I was inside a building. He couldn't get to me, but I didn't do any damage to him.

00:31:01.76
Tony Sisk
so But this time, I had you know this upgraded weapon that I paid 30,000 credits for, which is a lot. had ah I had, you know, grenade. It was a grenade launcher that's supposed to attach grenades to the enemy and then explode.

00:31:19.84
Tony Sisk
So I was hunting this guy. So I find him and I shoot him and one of the grenades sticks to him, blows up. He just turns around and looks at me.

00:31:31.87
Tony Sisk
Oh, what is this? Shoots a rocket at me. I dive out of the way and I'm like, Oh, crap. And then as soon as that happened, two or three of the other little dudes come out of the trees.

00:31:48.07
Tony Sisk
So I run for my life, right?

00:31:52.51
Tony Sisk
I dive into this building and I'm having a standoff between this rocketeer and like two or three of these other drones and I'm shooting out and he's and he's shooting into the building and and he takes my, like, I have a shield.

00:32:08.93
Tony Sisk
He takes my shield and my life down to like four points. Like almost kills me.

00:32:15.13
Sentfrmheaven
man

00:32:15.35
Tony Sisk
Right? So while I'm trying to get, I'm like almost out of ammunition

00:32:25.10
Tony Sisk
and out of like ah regions for my shield and regions for my health. I'm like, oh man, I'm in bad shape here. Right? Because these guys got me surrounded out here. Well, all of a sudden, I hear some gunfire.

00:32:41.15
Tony Sisk
It's another raider. Had decided to jump into the fight.

00:32:45.67
Sentfrmheaven
y'all right.

00:32:45.66
Tony Sisk
Okay. All right. All right. I look out. at I kill one of the drones that's right outside the door. ah shoot another rocket at the ah grenade at the ah big rocketeer guy. I hit him again.

00:33:00.01
Tony Sisk
He goes up, disappears over the top of the building. I'm looking. There's smoke everywhere, you know, from all the crashed drones i that I killed and sort of parts laying everywhere.

00:33:14.10
Tony Sisk
And then I still hear firing. then out of the smoke, I see this guy low crawling to the door. He gets into the doorway and he's like bleeding out.

00:33:31.07
Tony Sisk
And I'm like, ah. I said, you and it's got proximity chat. So I'm like, dude, I'm sorry, man.

00:33:37.38
Sentfrmheaven
A

00:33:40.58
Tony Sisk
ain't got nothing to get you back up. right And he just goes, he just goes, dies right in front of me.

00:33:44.24
Sentfrmheaven
moment of silence for the helper.

00:33:50.20
Tony Sisk
I'm like, I'm like, I waited a second.

00:33:52.36
Sentfrmheaven
There it was.

00:33:57.47
Tony Sisk
I counted to like five. Then I looted his body.

00:34:03.80
Tony Sisk
yeah

00:34:03.95
Sentfrmheaven
ah moment of silence for a helper

00:34:05.32
Tony Sisk
Gave him a moment of silence. I looted his body. i got ah i yeah He had all the ammunition I needed. He had some health supplies, some shield regens. I'm like, thank you, dude.

00:34:17.22
Tony Sisk
i don't know if you did that on purpose, but hey, good deal, right?

00:34:17.41
Sentfrmheaven
Man.

00:34:22.69
Sentfrmheaven
Man, yeah.

00:34:22.91
Tony Sisk
And you can pick you can revive other people, but you have to have a defibrillator. And um i did not I didn't have a defibrillator.

00:34:29.87
Sentfrmheaven
You didn't have one.

00:34:32.20
Tony Sisk
I had just used one in the previous game like to to get a guy to revive a guy who had died right before the ah extraction.

00:34:35.76
Sentfrmheaven
ah

00:34:44.16
Tony Sisk
And i get there is like I had run up to the... There was a guy that needed help, and I jumped in into the fight. And he was fighting this giant spider monster thing. I jumped into the fight, and then we both ran into...

00:34:58.64
Tony Sisk
The extraction elevator and then this other dude was crawling where he'd been hit and another guy come running up He's like come on man, you can make it you can make it and i was like He's gonna die before he makes it so I ran back out revived him right we got on the elevator Extracted so back to where I i just alluded that this dude And I was like, oh man, sorry, man.

00:35:27.77
Tony Sisk
I don't have a revive. just used it in the previous game.

00:35:30.54
Sentfrmheaven
ah but

00:35:32.00
Tony Sisk
So i look I stick my head out. I don't see the Rocketeer. I don't see any more UAVs. I'm like, well, I look at the time. I'm down to like eight minutes before extraction. I'm like, I need to head back to the extraction, right?

00:35:45.66
Tony Sisk
With the Luda, what little Luda I have.

00:35:48.59
Sentfrmheaven
Right. Yeah.

00:35:48.99
Tony Sisk
So I head over to the next building and I run into another guy. right because i'm i'm like let me jump in here and let me loot some of these containers in here and this other guy pops up and he was like don't shoot i'm like because i was staying over in like the corner ah he never even saw me standing there and i said i used my emote that says hi he's like my character goes hey there this guy goes don't shoot

00:36:06.99
Sentfrmheaven
right yeah

00:36:20.13
Sentfrmheaven
but

00:36:20.79
Tony Sisk
I'm like, I go to shoot. And, uh, then he goes out the door. And then, so I leave and I find this container box on the ground and there's these things called trials.

00:36:36.20
Tony Sisk
Uh, and if you do like specific actions in the matches, you get credit for them and they, it's a ranking system, a ladder system. So, um,

00:36:49.99
Tony Sisk
one of the things was one of the trials was to carry this container box and deliver it to this like a drop-off box and i just had just passed the drop off drop off box in the side building so i'll be grab this container and i'll take it back and as i'm walking back i see the uavs come back and they converge in the area that i i had been that earlier where i caught the dude by surprise and said hey there

00:37:13.03
Sentfrmheaven
but

00:37:20.04
Sentfrmheaven
great

00:37:20.12
Tony Sisk
So they're all hovering. I hear i hear a lot of gunfire, a lot of shooting. and So I'm like, oh man, they must've got that guy in in a corner.

00:37:29.76
Sentfrmheaven
ah

00:37:30.70
Tony Sisk
So I put the container, I get ah walk into the little side building and put the container in the and the thing that's looking for, you know, you to put it in so you could get ah loot from it.

00:37:43.87
Tony Sisk
And as I'm getting loot from this container, I look out the so the door, of the building I'm in and I see all the smoke and here comes that dude low crawling.

00:37:59.20
Tony Sisk
don't know. He, and he, and he dies right there and the doorstep. i was like, I waited a second.

00:38:07.02
Tony Sisk
Then I looted him.

00:38:09.92
Sentfrmheaven
Oh, man.

00:38:10.16
Tony Sisk
But it was funny. He had a lot of stuff too.

00:38:10.83
Sentfrmheaven
That's terrible.

00:38:12.33
Tony Sisk
It was great. And I got a, what's called a feet, which is like basically a challenge. And the feat was loot the bodies of fallen raiders.

00:38:23.95
Tony Sisk
I needed two of them.

00:38:24.15
Sentfrmheaven
Terrible.

00:38:26.39
Tony Sisk
was like, okay.

00:38:27.11
Sentfrmheaven
Yeah. Right.

00:38:28.45
Tony Sisk
Whoa, wow. Two of these guys right here. Okay. So I looted their bodies and gave me the feat. And then i I got out of dodge and extracted. But, you know, the and the details of this game are so cool.

00:38:42.37
Tony Sisk
Like, I'm running. Like, And there's like a flock of birds that like are laying in the grass and they go flying up, you know, and it's like,

00:38:56.62
Tony Sisk
give ah they give away your position, right? But it's like the realistic aspect of these flock of birds, you know, that behave just like you would think a flock of birds would if you came running up on them in a field.

00:39:12.19
Sentfrmheaven
Right.

00:39:12.85
Tony Sisk
But, so you have stamina, so... I'm running. i'm I'm loaded down with all this loot that I've got off the two dead guys.

00:39:22.35
Tony Sisk
My stamina runs out and my character, I have to stop for a second to catch my breath. And my character, my character is like,

00:39:32.18
Tony Sisk
I'm like, I love it. they were I'm like, the only thing that better is be like, they made him put his hands on his on his hips and go ah man

00:39:44.10
Sentfrmheaven
Right.

00:39:45.79
Tony Sisk
I need to lose some weight. yeah So the details of the game are great. I mean, it's, it's the one drawback to the game is there's so much loot that you're, you're picking up and you're using for crafting and stuff like that. We're selling to get more money.

00:40:07.12
Tony Sisk
There's so much of it. It's like you spend a lot of time like managing your inventory Fortunately, you can expand your inventory.

00:40:17.47
Tony Sisk
And my and my inventory right now is like 124 slots in my stash.

00:40:23.19
Sentfrmheaven
Oh, nice.

00:40:26.77
Tony Sisk
And that's still not enough. ah So it's like, because there's always something that needs some obscure thing. So it's like, oh, let me save this because I don't know when I might need this.

00:40:38.16
Sentfrmheaven
Right, right. Yeah, so, because I was going to ask you earlier, with the ah ability of, you know, like running into other players and stuff like that, now, do you feel like,

00:40:40.02
Tony Sisk
But.

00:40:50.23
Sentfrmheaven
the um the play areas like just the right size or do you wish like they made it like a little bigger or how do you feel about like um like like you said like the amount of times you run into other players?

00:41:02.16
Tony Sisk
I think it's about the right size. I think it's right. um Because it adds the the tension. um It does add tension to the to to each encounter.

00:41:13.12
Tony Sisk
But for the most part, I mean, the fact that I've been killed by people outright, like, maybe two times. Right? And I looked at my stats today.

00:41:22.38
Sentfrmheaven
Right. You're right.

00:41:25.20
Tony Sisk
i have 12 hours of raiding time. Right? 12 hours I've been on the surface looking for loot. I've only been killed by another player two times.

00:41:38.60
Tony Sisk
right

00:41:39.87
Sentfrmheaven
right

00:41:39.88
Tony Sisk
I have encountered dozens and dozens of people and the encounters have all been pretty good, right? It's like, uh, it's been, you know, Hey, do you need any help? Or can you help me?

00:41:57.74
Tony Sisk
or, you know, just kind of like this neutral thing, like, well, we can cover the same spot and you just do loot over there and I'll loot over here and that sort of stuff. So it's like, it's very congenial.

00:42:12.02
Tony Sisk
So it's been, and, Have I had anybody revive me I haven't had anybody revive me. But the act of reviving, unless you go into a squad, so you can go in as a squad of three, and it's going to, the match will only consist of squads of three, right?

00:42:30.29
Tony Sisk
Or you can go in solo. And I mainly play a solo. um But, you know There's no reason. like If I was on a squad, then I would have a defibrillator with me, right?

00:42:41.87
Tony Sisk
But since I'm solo, my my luotte my my backpack space is so tight that it's it's a conscious thing so being to bring a defibrillator.

00:42:42.53
Sentfrmheaven
Right.

00:42:55.64
Tony Sisk
Like, okay, I'm bringing this. and Just in case somebody needs it. So you're sacrificing a spot for that. It's like, the only reason ah I had brought the defibrillator the one time today when I used it was because did I have a, I didn't have a quest to do it, but I'm pretty sure there was something that i saw that I needed to do it.

00:43:21.43
Tony Sisk
And i had this and I wanted, and I, my question was like, how did it work? So i wanted to see how it worked. And, um, so I've been kind of like testing like different aspects of, you know, how things worked in the game and stuff.

00:43:35.64
Sentfrmheaven
Right.

00:43:36.45
Tony Sisk
ah But again, like I've gotten like, it takes work to get your gear and it might, your gear better. Right. And your gear typically consists of your weapons, your, your backpack,

00:43:46.93
Sentfrmheaven
right

00:43:52.58
Tony Sisk
Now, your backpack can be like a tactical backpack or a looting backpack. And a tactical backpack allows you to carry a better shield attachment, right? So it gives you ah slightly better shield.

00:44:11.20
Tony Sisk
That weighs more, but it does help. Or the looting backpack. The looting backpack provides a lot more slots to put stuff. You can put a whole lot more stuff in it, but it doesn't give you as good a protection shield-wise.

00:44:28.75
Tony Sisk
Because you can go down pretty quick. It doesn't take much to kill you. And if you go down, there's no way that you can revive yourself. The only thing you hope for is like if you is to go down near an elevator.

00:44:43.78
Tony Sisk
or extraction point. That way you can hopefully crawl into it. Because you can still, they still made it where you can activate the buttons if you're down.

00:44:54.01
Sentfrmheaven
Okay. You got him.

00:44:54.37
Tony Sisk
Right? So that's good.

00:44:56.13
Sentfrmheaven
yeah

00:44:56.39
Tony Sisk
ah So i've I've been fortunate a couple of times where I've i managed to escape. Though you bleed out fairly quickly. So you have to be fairly close to the extraction.

00:45:08.38
Tony Sisk
They also have what are called raider hatches, which are uh individual extraction points where you have to have a key for ah to open them and you can leave that way that way you're not competing don't have to worry about encountering other players if you're worried about that like say you go like today i went into an area that was dangerous right and man i found some great loot i found like

00:45:34.95
Sentfrmheaven
you

00:45:41.04
Tony Sisk
I think it was Like right now when you start the game Like most of the loot is white Or grey And then the next level up is green Which pretty standard in RPGs Like green And the next level up Above that is blue Which I think is probably rare And then the next level above that is like Magenta right And I'm just now like getting some magenta stuff. Like that grenade launcher I got is magenta. my

00:46:14.18
Tony Sisk
I had what I was running with was a blue lever action rifle and a blue handgun, which worked amazingly well together.

00:46:24.74
Tony Sisk
I'm just saying.

00:46:27.52
Tony Sisk
So ah I wanted to try out that magenta grenade launcher.

00:46:27.74
Sentfrmheaven
Right.

00:46:32.62
Tony Sisk
Did not work as well as I thought it would. But I happened to be in the dangerous area deep inside this building. I almost died, right? Because I got jumped by a bunch of these f freaking robots that jumped out me in the darkness and got ambushed by turrets.

00:46:54.58
Tony Sisk
I used up all my resources again. and I still had enough where i like I'm down to like 26 bullets and ah One shield, like just a shield that I had, no recharges, no bandages to heal myself or any way of healing myself.

00:47:12.33
Tony Sisk
And I'm like, okay, I got a yellow item. Like the first yellow item I've seen. And it's like epic or whatever, maybe a legendary, I don't know, but yellow.

00:47:25.61
Tony Sisk
And then I got a magenta item, like two magenta items. So I'm like, man, this is some great loot. And I have a tactical backpack. So my tactical backpack affords me one safe spot.

00:47:43.93
Tony Sisk
So I can put anything in that safe, that spot. And if I die and get looted, I won't lose that item. So I can, you know, so I put the yellow item in the safe spot, but that that left me two magenta items.

00:47:51.18
Sentfrmheaven
Right. Absolutely.

00:47:57.68
Tony Sisk
I'm like, man, I really want to get out of this situation so i can get all this great loot back to extraction

00:48:03.78
Sentfrmheaven
right absolutely

00:48:07.31
Tony Sisk
So it was a lot of me like maneuvering very carefully, trying to stay away from other players. I saw other players, I would go the opposite direction. I'm like, okay, just get to the elevator, hide out to the very last second, and then make a run for it.

00:48:30.18
Tony Sisk
and

00:48:30.82
Sentfrmheaven
Right.

00:48:32.45
Tony Sisk
Because yeah that's where the tension comes in. But it's... a you know The pacing of the game is fantastic. It's like, it's a perfect game as far as like just doing your own thing, taking your time, being strategic. Like, like you look at the map and you're going to say, okay, I'm going to do this and this is how I'm going to handle it. And this is the gear I'm going to bring that,

00:48:59.35
Tony Sisk
I think it's going to help me in any encounters for this, or you're going to be hunting specific like arc enemies and you're going to need to bring specific weapons and and gear with you.

00:49:12.33
Tony Sisk
So you can plan all this out and then you're going to go in and you're going to try and make it work. And then, get out and then it's like you you see the progressive improvement of your character there's a battle pass system kind of like helldivers system where you know you unlock the pages and then as you play you get ah tokens to unlock you know better cosmetics right it's all cosmetic stuff and well there's stuff that you can get in the battle pass that helps you in the game like you know helldivers you get with you unlock weapons right

00:49:48.62
Tony Sisk
I haven't seen any weapons that you can unlock in the battle pass in this particular game.

00:49:49.22
Sentfrmheaven
Right.

00:49:52.33
Tony Sisk
Everything is like cosmetic items or like a little loots, like grenades and stuff, like one time use stuff.

00:50:01.85
Tony Sisk
But, you know,

00:50:04.68
Tony Sisk
it's it's cool. I mean, I really like it. I'm really enjoying the the the pacing of it, like I said, because it's just, it's not the run and gun of a Call of a Battlefield, you know, or anything else.

00:50:15.52
Sentfrmheaven
right

00:50:18.20
Tony Sisk
Like, and like Marvel Rivals or anything like that. It's even Helldivers. Like that is a pure, a drilling, you know, it's a game, right? It's like, you're going to go in and you're just going to guns blazing.

00:50:34.22
Tony Sisk
That's Helldivers.

00:50:34.61
Sentfrmheaven
Right.

00:50:35.47
Tony Sisk
This is like, you know you you're like the one-man army going in to deal with it and you know you can't take on everybody but you you're slip in and slip out and you know you get better and like if anybody tries to take me down like i'm hoping my gear is better than your gear and

00:50:59.07
Sentfrmheaven
Right. Right.

00:51:02.42
Sentfrmheaven
Absolutely. Now, um so if people wanted to, ah let's say, a senior request on there, is your um is your PSN name the same as your player or is like Call of Duty where you have a different like Activision name or something like a

00:51:15.77
Tony Sisk
It's the same as my PSN. It's Whiskeyjack. Whiskey, JJ, A-C-K. Whiskeyjack. you know It's like the same on every game.

00:51:25.83
Tony Sisk
like It's crazy.

00:51:26.52
Sentfrmheaven
that? Yeah, yeah.

00:51:26.79
Tony Sisk
you know Except for Battlefield where they add stupid numbers to the end stuff. But I think somebody did find me on there by just looking up Whiskeyjack.

00:51:35.67
Sentfrmheaven
Okay.

00:51:36.45
Tony Sisk
Yeah, so on on Battlefield.

00:51:36.81
Sentfrmheaven
Yeah, yeah,

00:51:39.00
Tony Sisk
so It's been rare to you know have a game that Like you couldn't find me because my name is the same Xbox. It's the same as my PlayStation. And I think, yeah.

00:51:51.00
Sentfrmheaven
yeah.

00:51:52.97
Tony Sisk
So.

00:51:53.23
Sentfrmheaven
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, audience, you know, if y'all don't play a whiskey jack, remember, he ain't got no defibrillator. He gonna give you a moment of silence.

00:52:02.10
Tony Sisk
Hey, I don't see anybody else out there running around with defibrillators either. I'm just saying. I do have ah do have one recorded revive on my ah battle record.

00:52:14.20
Sentfrmheaven
There you go. There you go.

00:52:15.35
Tony Sisk
That guy was lucky I was there.

00:52:15.76
Sentfrmheaven
All right.

00:52:18.06
Tony Sisk
Not only was I there, i ran I ran back out there and got him.

00:52:23.19
Sentfrmheaven
Oh, man, what a saint. What a saint. Saint whiskey, Jack. Oh, yeah.

00:52:29.54
Tony Sisk
Yeah. so

00:52:32.09
Sentfrmheaven
Oh, yeah.

00:52:32.35
Tony Sisk
It's a fun game.

00:52:32.45
Sentfrmheaven
Oh, yeah. yeah

00:52:33.47
Tony Sisk
I'm trying to get but more people to play it. too

00:52:37.14
Sentfrmheaven
yeah the gaming is on the ah Yeah, there were a few games that dropped that's pretty good, and I know gaming is on the expensive side. So, yeah, so if y'all look out, Black Friday deals, you see it on there.

00:52:49.56
Sentfrmheaven
Make sure you get it. I'm definitely going to be looking forward to, you know, and pick up.

00:52:55.18
Tony Sisk
Yeah, an Ark Raiders is $39.99.

00:52:58.54
Sentfrmheaven
Oh, yeah, see, that's not bad.

00:52:58.64
Tony Sisk
So not bad.

00:52:59.52
Sentfrmheaven
That's not bad at all.

00:53:01.18
Tony Sisk
Yeah. Yeah. So hopefully we'll see you on there. Yeah.

00:53:07.98
Sentfrmheaven
Oh, hey, absolutely. And I, sent from heaven, will be having a defubilator.

00:53:15.30
Sentfrmheaven
But no, but you did cover my my my other question I had about, because during the beta, there was, ah you know, like items that you could, you know, like you say, put in a safe spot. So if you did, um you know, get looted or whatever like that, like, know, it wouldn't, um it wouldn't, uh,

00:53:32.61
Sentfrmheaven
you know, be looted now with the defubilators. Now, can you find them in game and can you buy them inside of the city or, um,

00:53:41.66
Tony Sisk
So I think one of the vendors does sell the Fibrillator.

00:53:47.93
Tony Sisk
Most of the stuff I think though from the vendors are on timers. So if you buy buy their supply, and won't be restocked for I don't know how long.

00:53:59.93
Tony Sisk
Like I bought something today.

00:54:01.79
Sentfrmheaven
yeah.

00:54:02.74
Tony Sisk
I needed to upgrade one of my weapons, medium gun parts or something. He had three in stock. I bought the three.

00:54:14.27
Tony Sisk
And then the last time I checked, it was like several hours later, like signed by Calon. Like that was in the morning when I played, came back in the afternoon, went back and checked to see if he had any more in stock.

00:54:28.72
Tony Sisk
He was still out of stock. So the timer, maybe it's the 24 hour timer. I don't know, but So yeah, you can buy a certain time. I'm pretty sure you can buy the fibrillator from one of the vendors. so i'm So I'm sure, but I'm sure it's going to be on a timer, but you can also craft.

00:54:44.75
Tony Sisk
So in back into your home base in the city, you have, they give you like a room and in the room you put all these works, work benches and stuff.

00:54:56.31
Tony Sisk
And you can craft a lot of the gear that you need if you have to find the parts and from your raiding or adventures. you know You bring back the parts and you and you find the blueprints for new weapons and stuff like that. Then you can start building them on your own.

00:55:14.37
Tony Sisk
But I have the the ability to um to build my own. so So yeah, it just depends if you if you unlock that.

00:55:25.23
Sentfrmheaven
Okay, okay. Yeah. yeah

00:55:28.60
Tony Sisk
But yeah, there's it's a really good progression. so It's almost like...

00:55:35.33
Tony Sisk
if it's a grind There's a grindy aspect to of it. like It's like Destiny, but the crafting aspect of it is is surpasses whatever Destiny ever achieved with theirs.

00:55:46.81
Tony Sisk
right yeah So the grindiness works with the ah crafting well. And then they send you, like there's these events that pop up that rotate on the map through the different locations you can go to.

00:56:07.14
Tony Sisk
Like they can have night, like that you have like the daytime you can go to the location. Or with then they have what are called night raids. So, and these are only available when the window opens automatically.

00:56:22.60
Tony Sisk
for the night raid and you go into the same map but now it's it's dark but there's more enemies less extraction areas but supposedly better loot so yeah yeah

00:56:37.18
Sentfrmheaven
Right, right. Okay, okay. Yeah, man, definitely, definitely sounds like an action-packed game, you know, but but like you said, at a and a slower pace, you're a place, you know, if you feel like like you got the gears and the weapon, you can head on, you know.

00:56:53.37
Sentfrmheaven
Somebody say don't shoot.

00:56:54.85
Tony Sisk
Yeah, I feel like I have basically played my entire time on the starting location. Like I have played a couple of the different maps, but I have dedicated almost my entire play time to learning the first map as well.

00:57:15.05
Tony Sisk
But yeah, i'm I'm still learning like, because there's so many different areas that you've, that you come across and it's like, Oh, where's this lead to? And then like, you're crawling through a sewer and then it opens up to something else. And it's like, okay. I didn't know this was here.

00:57:28.11
Tony Sisk
So it's like the, there's a really good exploration thing going on. Um, man, right now. so like right now, uh, I am looking for the prospector.

00:57:40.12
Tony Sisk
It's like this arc enemy that he, you know, I don't know the surveyor.

00:57:40.45
Sentfrmheaven
Okay.

00:57:48.14
Tony Sisk
And I think it's a surveyor, not the prospector, but I don't know what he does, but he's, he supposedly, he takes off running if you take a shot out of a shot at him. So he's very elusive.

00:58:00.16
Sentfrmheaven
right

00:58:00.45
Tony Sisk
So you have to figure out how to prevent him from running and then take him down. ah So it's a quest. So it's like, okay, well, how do I even find this guy? And then I'm looking through my codex and I see, oh the surveyor guy and it shows a picture of him and then it shows like this beam of blue light that's coming up off the top of him and was like i've seen that blue light before on the map i'm like okay so that's what that blue light is so now i'm hunting for that guy so that's that's basically my that's what i'm doing now i'm hunting for this surveyor robot i've i've so my loadout

00:58:40.79
Tony Sisk
is jolt mines, which stun enemies. So have jolt grenades and jolt mines. So I'm going to try and stun this guy first and then take him down.

00:58:57.56
Tony Sisk
Oh, you've you muted yourself.

00:59:00.95
Sentfrmheaven
Oh, there it is. Yeah, so yeah as long as you have a plan, you should be all right. Definitely go there with a plan.

00:59:08.12
Tony Sisk
Yeah, so I have a plan. i have a plan. So let's see how every time I go in with a plan, though, something some happens like, you know. the the thing spawns me like in the furthest part of the map away from where he is.

00:59:21.79
Tony Sisk
And and it's like, Oh, he only gives me like eight minutes in the map or whatever.

00:59:23.24
Sentfrmheaven
Right.

00:59:26.66
Tony Sisk
Or I run across something else going on. And like, ah, I'm gonna find that guy. So when I go on, like when we get off tonight, I'm going to go back on there.

00:59:32.74
Sentfrmheaven
Right.

00:59:35.77
Tony Sisk
And that's what I'm looking. I'm hunting this guy down.

00:59:38.69
Sentfrmheaven
You gonna hunt him down? Yeah, and then you know what? And then the moment, like, you be like, you know what? I'll just, I'll do it tomorrow. And, you know, you're not prepared. As soon as you land in, he's going be so close to you. we're like, oh, I'm not prepared.

00:59:53.58
Tony Sisk
Oh, that's happened a lot. That's happened a lot. That's some of the other quests.

00:59:57.64
Sentfrmheaven
ah

00:59:59.45
Tony Sisk
Like, oh, kill this particular enemy. I'm like, I never see that enemy. Next thing you know, first game in. There he is, right in front of me. like, oh, I didn't bring the thing I needed.

01:00:10.13
Sentfrmheaven
Right? Right. You there like David Goliath. Like, you need a M16 and you got a slingshot, you know?

01:00:17.89
