From Westeros to Walmart Bargain Bins

This week on Good2Game Radio, Tony and Jaime dive headfirst into chaos—where medieval drama meets zombie panic and somehow still finds time to argue about TV budgets like two dads at Best Buy. The duo breaks down the latest Game of Thrones spinoff twists, including surprise endings, budget-friendly filmmaking (aka “we found spare change, let’s make a show”), and why modern TV seasons take longer than a George R.R. Martin book.

Then it’s all about Resident Evil 9, where Jaime proudly “wears the pink ribbon” after caving to digital, while Tony clings to physical copies like they’re collector’s gold. Expect horror stories about stalker enemies, broken light bulbs, and pure gamer panic.

Finally, they tackle Marathon vs. Arc Raiders, debating steep learning curves, neon overload, and whether gamers today have the patience of a goldfish. Spoiler: they don’t.

It’s insightful, ridiculous, and exactly the kind of gaming therapy you didn’t know you needed.

Tony Sisk
Hi folks, welcome back to Good2GameRadio. I'm your host Tony speaking and I'm here with Jaime. Vance is off tonight. Jaime, what's going on?

00:09.50
Jaime G
Man, everything. Everything from zombies chasing me to good friends who have decided to not buy a game because they can't find a physical copy to being accused of being wrong on Game of Thrones.

00:25.34
Jaime G
a too Too many things going on.

00:29.66
Tony Sisk
Right. Yeah. ah We, the, we just had the ah episode drop where we talked about game of Thrones and, and what was it that you were wrong about?

00:40.87
Tony Sisk
Oh yeah. About the whole night thing.

00:42.51
Jaime G
Well, no, I don't think I was wrong about anything. but

00:48.25
Tony Sisk
Yeah. I mean, ah you know, episode six has come and gone since that episode, since we last talked about that show yeah, They've already been awarded a season two, so looking forward to that.

00:57.34
Jaime G
By the way, by the way, did you see that ending coming? the funny The funny part of the ending.

01:08.57
Tony Sisk
The credit scene?

01:10.17
Jaime G
Yeah.

01:12.31
Tony Sisk
No, I did not see that coming. ah Because supposedly in the books, now I'm not a book reader, of the series, um

01:25.14
Tony Sisk
apparently... uh, Makar had agreed with Dunk to allow the egg to go with him to be a squire, apparently in the books, but in the show, in the credit scene you're talking about, um, they show Makar going, where is egg?

01:36.70
Jaime G
Right, yeah. ah heat and

01:45.47
Tony Sisk
You know, like he's, just he's disappeared after egg is shown up to Dunk.

01:46.33
Jaime G
Right? It disappeared again.

01:50.43
Tony Sisk
And says, my father says I should be your squire. Right. So it's like, Oh, he lied. um So a departure from the books. However, from what understand, there is a theory out there that says because it would look, it wouldn't look good for a

02:16.47
Tony Sisk
Targaryen to be squired to a hedge knight. So Makar came up with this fake, oh, Egg disappeared again.

02:26.90
Tony Sisk
and he made such a display of it as they were leaving that it told everybody that, oh, Egg ran off again, like he always does. And he you know, so it's a way of getting Makar off the hook.

02:40.41
Jaime G
here we go again.

02:41.66
Tony Sisk
Yeah. So another theory. Yeah.

02:47.54
Jaime G
Yeah. Well, I was, I was watching the show and, you know, was serious, whatever it knows. And I just started laughing where my family's like, what's happening? I'm like, Oh, you, you have to see it to kind of, it you can't tell this and people be like, immediately be like, Oh yeah, that is funny.

03:05.62
Tony Sisk
It was a funny show. It was funny. it's about You know, when Duncan is underneath the tree recovering from his wounds and the Lionel Baratheon comes and he's like, hey, why don't you come to my place?

03:14.74
Jaime G
Yeah.

03:20.82
Tony Sisk
We'd be a great team. And then Duncan's like, you know, moping and stuff. And he says something about, oh, don't make fun of...

03:33.30
Tony Sisk
Baelor because he died. You know, he was, he, he, he fought for me, whatever. And then Lionel was like, I fought for you. The other two guys fought for you.

03:46.20
Tony Sisk
Apple boy fought for you.

03:49.05
Jaime G
That was hilarious.

03:50.90
Tony Sisk
Right.

03:51.61
Jaime G
Apple boy.

03:51.58
Tony Sisk
what That guy is a great character.

03:52.25
Jaime G
yeah He is, man. He's likable. Like he's, he like ever since he was introduced at first, I was like, this guy's trouble. But little did I know was like trouble and like, and like, he's the party guy.

04:07.29
Tony Sisk
Yeah. Yeah, that was, I mean, it was a slower episode, you know, kind of around, ah just everything kind of being put in place for the next season. Typical Game of Thrones type stuff. um So, yeah, looking forward to season two. And they said that ah unlike House of Dragons, where there is a year in between seasons, that this one will be done for next for next year.

04:34.65
Tony Sisk
So we don't have to wait in an entire year. in like nine months, the next season will be available.

04:38.44
Jaime G
Well, it goes back to my observation. This show is like much, much like smaller budget. I've said it was cheap.

04:49.98
Jaime G
the way that the things that they're doing to like cut corners, like the whole season is in the same spot, same actors, same extras. They were like, hey, we we're spending all our money in House of Dragons, so let's let's let's do something here that costs conscientious.

05:07.74
Tony Sisk
Yeah, it's like, they oh, we had some change left over. Let's make this other show.

05:11.29
Jaime G
right

05:12.12
Tony Sisk
um But, you know, that's how they used to make television. They didn't. they They had modest budgets, you know, but they still were able to put out seasons of television that were, you know,

05:24.12
Jaime G
No. to Okay. Okay. I've been meaning to go on this rant for a while and and I've just never had like the right opening, but what in the world is up with seasons not being every year like good old television was?

05:44.34
Tony Sisk
Right, because they're expensive.

05:44.60
Jaime G
I mean, but, but, but man, I mean, I grew up you know in the heyday of you know perfect strangers you know when I was a kid. And then when I was in middle school, Friends, Frasier, Seinfeld to some extent. Then when I was a little bit older, is that 70s show, Scrubs, The Office. there was never It was never acceptable for a TV show to basically be like, all right, the next season lands in three years from now.

06:19.42
Tony Sisk
Right. Well, I mean, look at the office.

06:19.98
Jaime G
I mean...

06:21.26
Tony Sisk
The office is set in one location for the most part, an office.

06:26.62
Jaime G
Yeah.

06:27.38
Tony Sisk
Like,

06:27.67
Jaime G
Yeah.

06:30.01
Tony Sisk
and it's character based show, right? There's not a whole lot of, um, FX going on and stuff like that. It's just jokes and, and funny dialogue and stuff like that. And every once while they would be at a restaurant. So it's like, they're not traveling the world to find locations suitable for their show, which was like in the original game of Thrones. And they were shooting this show in Iceland, Croatia, Malta, Ireland, England,

07:00.73
Tony Sisk
Canada, like they were shooting episodes everywhere. And like, they were like, Oh, and the episode costs like $2 million.

07:10.89
Tony Sisk
dollars And I think house of dragons is like, i don't know, three or $4 million dollars an episode.

07:16.70
Jaime G
Dude, remember Smallville?

07:21.61
Tony Sisk
I never watched that one.

07:23.13
Jaime G
ah Okay, well, it's Clark Kent. It's...

07:26.07
Tony Sisk
Kansas or Smallville.

07:27.74
Jaime G
Right. Right.

07:28.94
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

07:29.02
Jaime G
But eventually, he moves up to, like, Metropolis. and And every time that he's fighting or, you know, things are getting down and they're serious...

07:39.93
Jaime G
It was like there's there was this one season where everything was in the same and the same hall, man. Like you could tell it was like the same set, just like taken from like different camera angles. Because they were like, there were I mean, hey, let's throw some more garbage on this corner this time versus this corner. Like air the set was the same, man.

08:02.64
Jaime G
It's like, really? You're fighting every single bad guy, every episode in the same hall?

08:10.87
Tony Sisk
Yeah, I mean, ah like all the TV shows back then were like that. I'm like, it seems like they were they would reuse old footage too or, you know, hey, this would work great.

08:17.93
Jaime G
OK.

08:21.37
Jaime G
Oh, they would. Yeah.

08:22.34
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

08:23.96
Jaime G
But but but you were you're a fan of that show that I haven't seen, Stranger Things.

08:32.26
Tony Sisk
Mm-hmm.

08:33.37
Jaime G
Don't tell me that there is not like an infinity number of years in between seasons.

08:38.10
Tony Sisk
du There's like three and four years between those seasons.

08:42.23
Jaime G
it that that

08:42.46
Tony Sisk
It's...

08:43.29
Jaime G
That never was acceptable. That meant the show was like dead canceled.

08:45.86
Tony Sisk
Like... Right, and then the actors, if and when you're dealing with child actors, like, they grow up and then they're adults, but they're still trying to play as, like, 12-year-olds.

09:00.22
Jaime G
Yes.

09:00.34
Tony Sisk
Doesn't work. That person looks like they're 25. Ha ha ha.

09:03.41
Jaime G
there were there were There were people in the office where I work at that were like, yeah, there's a couple of things that just kind of got weird.

09:14.84
Tony Sisk
Yeah, I mean, the we need to get back to every year.

09:21.88
Jaime G
Yes.

09:22.42
Tony Sisk
And don't give me six episodes. Disney started this.

09:27.41
Jaime G
Oh, man, yes, that that that is so true.

09:28.80
Tony Sisk
Disney is the one who started this. ah We're only going to give you six episodes because they started rolling out all that Marvel stuff. you know, here's, here's this character storyline.

09:37.94
Jaime G
And you will love it.

09:39.57
Tony Sisk
And well, we're going to give you six episodes of 40 minutes each, and you're going to love it. And it's going to give you all this extra information. And it's not information you need if there's ever a movie, because, you know, we don't want to make, uh, make it a, uh, obstacle to you understanding the movie.

09:56.79
Tony Sisk
And then what do they turn around and do They make movies that require you to have watched the TV shows to make connections to what's going on. So, yeah, I,

10:06.90
Jaime G
Dude, remember when we went to see Multiverse of Madness?

10:11.96
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

10:12.92
Jaime G
I had no context, man. Like the movie like just jumps right in and expects you.

10:17.05
Tony Sisk
Right, because you didn't have Disney.

10:19.67
Jaime G
i hadn't seen like a WandaVision and i'm I'm like there for like the first 10 minutes. Like I clearly must have missed like a movie in between or something.

10:31.12
Tony Sisk
That's a perfect example. Like, you weren't supposed to had to have watched WandaVision. Now, WandaVision was a great show, right? But it was weird.

10:45.14
Tony Sisk
It was like off the the rails for the first four episodes. Like nobody knew what was going on. And then at the end, you know, kind of tie things together. But you shouldn't have to have that foundation to understand what what why Wanda was so crazy in the movie.

10:59.45
Jaime G
I agree.

11:04.41
Tony Sisk
In the Multiverse of Madness.

11:05.37
Jaime G
And you know what? I think some of that was the beginning of the end for like a lot of the MCU.

11:14.20
Tony Sisk
Yeah. Yeah. Well, after after the big the two big finale movies, you know it's been downhill. but

11:22.14
Jaime G
Yeah.

11:23.99
Tony Sisk
I mean, we're just waiting for the next Spider-Man, really. Yeah.

11:28.26
Jaime G
I'm waiting for it and i'm I'm excited. i mean I'd like to see where they take the next Avengers movie. I think they're going to try retcon everything that they did with the multiverse.

11:40.97
Jaime G
But by doing that, they eliminate a bunch of things.

11:40.98
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

11:44.31
Jaime G
Did you see? There's a big rumor, Tony, that the movie, ah the next Avengers movie starts with a fight scene between Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine because there's like an incursion.

12:03.61
Jaime G
So they have to like fight apparently. So that's how they're gonna be able to get in this movie, X-Men versus Avengers.

12:15.32
Tony Sisk
So we just can't break free of this multiverse thing, can we?

12:18.78
Jaime G
We can't break free of Hugh Jackman.

12:18.87
Tony Sisk
hey

12:21.62
Tony Sisk
Well, I mean, he's a great actor.

12:22.84
Jaime G
Oh, sure.

12:26.20
Tony Sisk
ah

12:28.02
Jaime G
He is known for one character and one character only.

12:28.12
Tony Sisk
I mean, he's great for singing. He does great musicals.

12:31.38
Jaime G
No, no. the greatest showman, come on.

12:37.43
Tony Sisk
I mean, yeah, I'm with you there. It wasn't that great, but, um, Still, I mean, he's saying for a Marvel character.

12:48.37
Jaime G
He's the one that's for plays played the same character like 100 times.

12:55.83
Tony Sisk
Like Samuel Jackson. Always plays this.

12:58.58
Jaime G
Dude.

12:59.32
Tony Sisk
It's always the same guy.

13:01.53
Jaime G
Well, okay, but but Samuel Jackson is the same character across different movies, not the same franchise, right?

13:07.04
Tony Sisk
Yeah. It's Samuel L. Jackson playing as Samuel o Jackson.

13:11.93
Jaime G
Yeah. And you know who does that too?

13:13.43
Tony Sisk
And that's...

13:13.88
Jaime G
Mark Wahlberg.

13:15.26
Tony Sisk
Yeah, Mark Wahlberg is Mark Wahlberg. Doesn't matter what the movie is.

13:18.23
Jaime G
Yeah. And that that young actress who was in the Twilight movies, she always plays the same way. Kristen Stewart.

13:28.63
Tony Sisk
Yeah. I mean, that's a you can make a career out of that. you know You don't have to be like Tom Hanks or some of the other guys that are like winning Academy Awards and stuff.

13:41.94
Jaime G
Tony, Tony, years ago, I had a really good friend and and we would like have like this, this thing going between us. And we were like, there is no bad Tom Hanks movie.

13:56.38
Jaime G

14:07.72
Tony Sisk
Oh, okay.

14:09.18
Jaime G
There is a bad Tom Hanks movie. and we And we learned that hard.

14:15.70
Tony Sisk
Yeah. I'm like, I'm pretty sure there's probably one or two.

14:20.22
Jaime G
yeah i just gave you the one.

14:22.84
Tony Sisk
Yeah. Now, I mean, one of the very first ones, I can't remember. He played like in a Dungeons and Dragons game. movie early in his career where he was so obsessed with the with dungeons and dragons he just got lost in the game basically like his mental mind his mental state now doesn't mean that he wasn't doing an incredible job acting but the movie pretty much ended with him like you know

14:54.23
Tony Sisk
going off into the woods and, the friends and family, like, you know, just kind of pretending to be characters from Dungeons and Dragons. And just, just because he had his mind had basically gone to the point where it's like everything was Dungeons and Dragons.

15:10.06
Tony Sisk
Um, I didn't care for that movie, but that was a long time ago and I can't remember.

15:15.00

18:59.22
Tony Sisk
It was directed at Whiskey Jack. So, he's... So, Jaime is saying, because i have not picked up Resident Evil and started playing like the entire rest of the world has, that I have refused to wear the pink ribbon, which is representative of Resident Evil 9.

Jaime G
the discussion doesn't stop when the podcast ends, honestly.

20:18.01
Tony Sisk
ah Right.

20:20.57
Jaime G
OK, so anyway, back back to you who have not played Resident Evil.

20:27.64

I'm going to get that physical copy. Then I'll play.

20:35.56
Jaime G
OK, so I... I don't know if I shared this here, but I actually was able to order a physical copy what of the deluxe edition. Amazon decided to send me a nice email like a couple of days before it was supposed to release saying, oh, you know what? Your orders cancel. We didn't know really how many items we're going to get.

20:56.25
Jaime G
ah Tough luck. Bam. Just like that. Just like that. So anyway, on the day of release, I go to GameStop.

21:21.98
Jaime G
i was like, ah okay. I come back home. I remember texting Vance and Tony. Hey, guys, I can't get a physical copy of this. So I finally cave and i and much to my own Much against my own advice, I decided to buy the digital version because I want to wear the pink ribbon.

21:41.37
Jaime G
so So I've been playing Resident Evil. I'm loving in this, Tony. I'm loving this. like I had just finished Village and right away jumped into this.

21:56.98
Jaime G
It's completely a different plot. Ignore everything you're You did the Winter Saga between 7 and 8. We're back to Leon, right? The poster boy.

22:10.10
Jaime G
And this game reaches some monumental highs, in my opinion. Like in the very first, in the tutorial portion, Leon is out in the street.

22:24.06
Jaime G
Ashley is out in the street. And there's rain falling. There's a bunch of zombies going all over the place. Mm-hmm. it's It's brilliant. it It actually made me think like if this whole game were like this, where it's like wide open, there's rain falling on you. The DualSense controller does an amazing job of like you're hear you you feel the the the little tip taps of you know rainfall kind of as they're coming onto you.

22:55.99
Jaime G
And then... I'm going to echo, Tony, what you say here is you reach the eventual hallway, right? That's why i at the beginning I was like, this is amazing because it is just literally vibrant, alive. You're in the city.

23:14.32
Jaime G
There's an outbreak in the city.

23:14.67
Tony Sisk
Right.

23:16.38
Jaime G
it It feels great. It feels like, wow, this this could be a thing. Fast forward a few minutes. You're in the hospital.

23:27.54
Jaime G
And there's not a lot of places that you can go to, right?

23:30.78
Tony Sisk
Right.

23:30.87
Jaime G
So I was like, i was like oh, this is what this is what Tony always refers to as the hallway.

23:37.91
Jaime G
So now, again, you start, guess what? Stalker mechanic. And I freak out with these things. You know, there is one thing that was brilliant on this. you Have you seen the trailers where you have like the big big lady that...

23:56.13
Jaime G
can walk into a room, but as soon as she gets burned by the light, she's like dashing out of the room.

24:04.02
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

24:04.18
Jaime G
Or is your or you have you like stayed away from any like promo material?

24:08.55
Tony Sisk
I pretty much stayed away, but I just saw a clip about it about five minutes ago.

24:13.90
Jaime G
OK, so the stalker light doesn't get near the light. And you can go into a room and cut off the lights And she'll go into the room.

24:24.66
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

24:26.23
Jaime G
Then you can like dart around some furniture, turn it on, and she is hurting.

24:32.76
Jaime G
And so it's really well made. Because later, she was chasing me down and I went into a room with light. This time she didn't go into it. She learned. She learned, Tony.

24:45.51
Tony Sisk
Okay. okay

24:46.71
Jaime G
Okay. And now here's something that I thought was brilliant. And again, this first stalker, It's probably maybe 30 minutes worth of it because then you move on to the next area.

25:00.56
Jaime G
There's one area where you go into a room and it's well lit and everything. And in the room, this is not the only one, but there's like lamps, which you can turn on and off. And I was like, why would they have lamps when I can just turn on to like the light switch, right?

25:18.10
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

25:19.26
Jaime G
Well, I don't know if it lightning or something, but the stalker is like chasing you. She's on top of the room. I swear that it's either lightning or she's like pounding on the ceiling until the light bulbs break.

25:38.42
Tony Sisk
yeah

25:39.77
Jaime G
And I was like, that's why there's lamps and there's in these rooms. Because she can alter her. the environment to her advantage. okay As soon as I saw the light bulbs, you know, pop, I'm running out of the room going to the next area.

25:57.82
Tony Sisk
yeah He can't hang out.

26:00.82
Jaime G
No, no, right. I mean, there's like, there it's it's brilliantly done. This is like the very early part of it. And I'm going to admit to this, okay? Because I get like really spooked with this.

26:13.68
Jaime G
I'm even watching like ah a YouTube tutorial of a guy who's like, You have to find a fuse. it There's always a fuse or a screwdriver something you have to find to advance to the next area.

26:25.11
Jaime G
And he's like, put in the video, I see that, you know, you're being chased, but this guy has to move like a cart. And he's moving it in the video the cart just like little by little and then stops.

26:40.63
Jaime G
And then moves the cart little, little, little, stops. and does this several times on heat until he gets the cart to where he needs to be. I'm in panic mode. I've already seen this and I'm like, let me just move the cart to the area that it needs to be.

26:57.50
Jaime G
Well, I'm moving it, Tony. I realized why he did that. There's like some stuff on top of the cart that if you just move it willy nilly, it'll fall, there's a class that breaks and she knows where you're at.

27:07.45
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

27:14.71
Jaime G
but but But the way how it's introduced that she knows where where you're at it's is that there's like this this window and you can just see her hand be like, like like scratching the window. Like, i know I'm coming for you. And you can kind of see her walking around to get to where you're at.

27:34.65
Jaime G
And I'm thinking like, that's why the dude on the YouTube video did it this way.

27:42.68
Jaime G
So far, You know, I've just reached the point where um the two main characters meet, they get separated, and I'm going, like, the playthrough with Ashley, and she's very stealth, like, very low resources, not a lot of ammo.

27:59.00
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

27:59.61
Jaime G
Eventually, from what I've read, is that you get into, like, the Leon, which is now, like, very action-focused, and once you play the action-focused stuff, it'll stay let that way until, like, maybe...

28:11.10
Jaime G
the third or fourth act right before the game ends. um i'm I'm digging it. it's it's a it's it it it It's reached some really good high points for me.

28:25.88
Jaime G
The game looks amazing, much better than anything with with Village. um Village did a good job at freaking me out in that Venavento mansion.

28:37.05
Jaime G
And Lady D also She was good, but no, this one this one's different. Especially that that light bulb thing that I'm that i'm mentioned mentioning to you. I'm like, it took away that feeling of like I'm in a safe spot.

28:51.96
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

28:52.44
Jaime G
And it made me say, get out of this room fast.

28:59.35
Jaime G
um No, it's it's great, man. I really am going to recommend this. And there's one thing I'm also going to say. In your playthrough between 7 and Village or 7 and 8, did you at any point say like, man, Ethan Winters is is a believable character. He's like somebody that I'm rooting for.

29:23.38
Jaime G
Or were you just like, okay, he he can take ah really some really good punches and keep on going?

29:29.75
Tony Sisk
I mean, I, I was rooting for Ethan for sure. i mean, he seemed like a good character. Unbelievable with the whole hand thing that we talked about, you know, where he just put the hand back on, uh, he could definitely take some punishment, but you know, you know why?

29:49.83
Tony Sisk
Because they explained it at the, that he was, why that was, was,

29:53.27
Jaime G
yeahp

29:56.92
Tony Sisk
oh

29:59.48
Tony Sisk
Yeah, I mean,

30:03.58
Tony Sisk
playing the game, I was sympathetic to him as a character. I don't understand why he even existed as a character other than to get to the daughter, right?

30:16.60
Tony Sisk
ah Like, they literally created this relationship between him and, was it Mia? And everything that played, the wife, so they could get to rows

30:23.92
Jaime G
That's the wife.

30:29.40
Jaime G
Right?

30:30.33
Tony Sisk
As a character and I don't know if Rose shows up in this game or not, but I'm assuming that she's going to be a character that's going to up appear in the future.

30:35.72
Jaime G
No. No. Let's get together one afternoon and play the deal's the the Winters expansion, because I have it, which ends the saga of eight, because you can play the daughter.

30:52.42
Jaime G
But back to this.

30:52.63
Tony Sisk
Okay.

30:55.03
Jaime G
Ashley Ashcroft, in a way, kind of reminds me a lot of Bruce Willis in Die Hard, where, like, she doesn't want to be in this.

31:07.22
Tony Sisk
Right.

31:07.34
Jaime G
She's just caught in the middle of, like, I mean, Bruce Willis is caught in the middle like, terrorists. And he's like, okay, now I have to step up. But he like he clearly is like, I just want to be home having to be here, kind of.

31:20.28
Tony Sisk
right

31:20.57
Jaime G
um And she's like, I don't know why this is happening to me. She's like, she's not a character like Leon shows up and you know that he can do cartwheels and kick five zombies with one pinky and kill them.

31:36.45
Jaime G
She's like freaking out. She's like having like stress attacks. She's She makes you feel like this is a character, like, okay, this is where how a lot of people who actually would respond.

31:51.38
Tony Sisk
Right.

31:52.82
Jaime G
Leo's like, I've only got one bullet in the chamber. Let's go.

32:00.63
Tony Sisk
Yeah. I mean, he was, I mean, was it in a four where he's, he is rescuing the president's daughter, right?

32:02.46
Jaime G
so

32:11.99
Jaime G
Yeah, that's it.

32:13.34
Tony Sisk
And like, and literally the whole time, it's just, she's standing there and he's doing all the potty and like, and she like literally does nothing.

32:19.73
Jaime G
Right.

32:22.58
Tony Sisk
So, you know, Hey, it's a Leon.

32:26.04
Jaime G
Yeah, right.

32:26.26
Tony Sisk
That's why, that's why he's like the fan favorite.

32:26.60
Jaime G
So he is.

32:28.22
Tony Sisk
Right.

32:31.10
Jaime G
But Ashley is the complete polar opposite. I mean, she'll get stuff done, but she doesn't want to.

32:38.17
Tony Sisk
What did in the movies, what, Resident Evil movies. The character that is played by... What's her name? The actress.

32:50.10
Tony Sisk
Djokovic. but cute what

32:51.95
Jaime G
Mila.

32:53.53
Tony Sisk
What character is that? that Jill Valentine?

32:56.28
Jaime G
No, she plays Alice. And she's like, she is not canon.

33:00.82
Tony Sisk
Okay.

33:03.65
Jaime G
She's like, in one of the movies, she she has like hundreds of clones. In another movie, she can like make people's heads explode, but just giving them the stink eye.

33:10.14
Tony Sisk
Okay.

33:13.72
Tony Sisk
Wasn't there a movie with Jill, like Jill Valentine in it? Who is that?

33:18.14
Jaime G
Yeah, there was a movie with Jill Valentine. There's a movie with, I mean... Leon Claire Redfield, Chris Redfield is in it.

33:28.57
Tony Sisk
Is that the one that was on Netflix like two years ago?

33:28.70
Jaime G
Yeah.

33:31.35
Jaime G
Now that was the welcome to raccoon city. That was like the the revival and they introduced brand new actors. They went back to resident evil one slash two.

33:43.35
Tony Sisk
Okay. I think this the reason, another reason why I get confused with the whole Resident Evil thing is because they have this parallel movie thing going on and then it it also makes no sense.

33:44.34
Jaime G
and in that one,

33:58.52
Jaime G
But you know something, though? There is another... There's another four movies that are CGI movies that... These are Chris, Claire, Jill, Leon, the same character models that are in the game.

34:19.77
Jaime G
And Copcom has come out and said that those movies are canon. Like...

34:25.69
Tony Sisk
Okay.

34:26.58
Jaime G
they do happen in the same universe as the video games happen.

34:31.58
Tony Sisk
Really, you'll to get the names of those.

34:36.69
Tony Sisk
Not right now, but yeah.

34:37.23
Jaime G
They're on Netflix.

34:39.83
Tony Sisk
Okay.

34:40.95
Jaime G
But but they they legit have said that those movies are part of the things that happen. And you know, it kind of makes sense because on one of them, you know how in Resident Evil 4, Leon was infected with the Los Ganados virus?

34:54.49
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

34:55.74
Jaime G
There's one movie where a character that shows up, he gets infected with it too. And Leon and leona is like, well, there's only when there's only one way that I can cure you.

35:06.23
Jaime G
And they're all like, how did you know? He's like, let's say I've gone through this before. And I'm gonna spoil i'm not going to spoil the ending for you, but you're like, whoa.

35:20.76
Jaime G
Yes.

35:22.70
Tony Sisk
OK.

35:24.03
Jaime G
So, so far, no, I'm i'm like, and and I told you earlier, like 10% into the game because you can see your progress bar.

35:24.73
Tony Sisk
Have you finished the game?

35:31.89
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

35:34.55
Jaime G
Yeah, i I struggled a lot with the first chapter trying to get away from that that tall lady. Now, I finally reached the point where I'm in the hallway with a bunch of zombies and stuff. So that's that that's more my my game. my game

35:48.37
Tony Sisk
OK.

35:52.09
Jaime G
You need to get that pink ribbon.

35:55.80
Tony Sisk
I'll get it.

35:59.00
Tony Sisk
I'll give it another week. If I don't get the physical copy in another week, then I'll just go ahead and do the digital.

36:06.49
Jaime G
Okay, so I'm going to tell you this. I'm reading an article that was cut that was posted on IGN three hours ago, and it says Resident Evil Requiem is still almost inside entirely sold out online with physical copies only available at select retailers. Amazon is the only retailer in stock, sorry, with stock available for PlayStation 5.

36:32.31
Tony Sisk
crazy mean

36:37.98
Tony Sisk
obviously they want you to go digital it's obvious but you know man for a major release you know like to not have hardly enough to hardly have any copies

36:41.57
Jaime G
Of course. it's It's more money for them.

36:47.45
Jaime G
Yeah.

36:55.72
Tony Sisk
That's pretty crazy. I can understand games that are like don't have the fan following, but Resident Evil has a huge following.

37:03.63
Jaime G
Yeah.

37:06.65
Jaime G
I mean, I told you, I've i've argued this for years. Physical is cheaper. See this game right here? See this game? Stellar Blade. Still.

37:15.18
Tony Sisk
Oh, when did you get that?

37:17.27
Jaime G
I got it a couple weeks ago for $20. Because Walmart wanted to get rid of them.

37:28.15
Jaime G
You cannot get this game even digital for $20.

37:32.09
Tony Sisk
Right. It's always $59. Always.

37:34.65
Jaime G
Right. because Because of why? Because of the model.

37:39.22
Tony Sisk
it it Yeah. You said you get that at Walmart, huh? I'm looking right now.

37:45.53
Jaime G
I got it at Walmart. No, it was in-store only.

37:51.63
Tony Sisk
Oh, they didn't post it on their digital website?

37:53.34
Jaime G
No. No, I actually posted this on Discord, and I said, hey, guys, I thought this was sus. I heard that it's $20 in-store. I can confirm it. I was able to get it for $20. Yeah.

38:07.63
Tony Sisk
All right. Well, yeah. Okay. I've been looking. up You should have told me. Text me. ah

38:16.06
Jaime G
It's on Discord. Yeah.

38:18.65
Tony Sisk
ah um Okay. um

38:27.83
Tony Sisk
Yeah. when ah Whenever I get my hands on it, I'll finish the resident evil thingy but you know right now you asked me earlier like whoa what am i playing arc raiders i think i got like 400 hours i saw some guy on like uh youtube talking about know he's got a channel where he's basically a rat and that's that's his deal like oh well watch me do this you know

38:59.42
Tony Sisk
And he's got, I've got 400 and something hours in this game. And I'm like, man, I'm pretty sure I have that same amount of like I have a lot of hours in Ark Raiders.

39:10.42
Tony Sisk
and um But I had stopped long enough to play Marathon and the Server Slam that happened a week or so ago.

39:16.93
Jaime G
Yeah.

39:21.66
Tony Sisk
ah PlayStation's new extraction shooter. Did you play any of it?

39:28.28
Jaime G
No, dead on arrival, my friend.

39:31.29
Tony Sisk
For Jaime, it was dead on arrival.

39:33.46
Jaime G
Yes.

39:33.85
Tony Sisk
um So it's out for retail now. It's like $49. Is it $49 or $39? It's $39. $39.99. So played it in the server slam. And really, really

39:43.67
Tony Sisk
thirty nine ninety nine

39:45.17
Jaime G
If it's more than $1, it's too much.

39:47.54
Tony Sisk
yeah so i played it in the serversla and

39:55.61
Tony Sisk
i really really you know, was hoping to like the game. And I'm not saying I don't like the game. I'm saying that there is a lot to overcome in this game.

40:05.88
Jaime G
Sure it sounds like it.

40:13.78
Tony Sisk
Like, one, it's very it's very hard to understand what's going on. The learning curve is steep.

40:26.20
Tony Sisk
right so and the menu systems and the the the icons that they're using and stuff are too small i can't read anything i'm literally having to squint at the screen um the movement is it's floaty but kind of like my last like a slow too it's weird uh

40:55.54
Tony Sisk
And I'm like, ah, the the visual like theme of it, it's like this funky

41:05.35
Tony Sisk
retro future look going on with like really bright colors and just weird designs. And then like even in the in the menu when you're waiting for the game to load in, it's got like these weird background videos of like moths and just weird stuff going on.

41:23.32
Tony Sisk
It's like, man, i don't know The look that they're going for is just out there.

41:26.10
Jaime G
is it Is it just mirrors or is like everything neon pink and neon yellow?

41:30.68
Tony Sisk
Yes. Everything.

41:31.86
Jaime G
Yeah.

41:31.96
Tony Sisk
It's just, it's the, the color palette is different. The draw distance is like, not that great. Like I can't see ah on the map. Like there's like this fog and I don't know if that's intentional or not.

41:47.63
Tony Sisk
I'm thinking it's intentional, uh, based on just the starting map. Like literally I was on the starting map and I'm thinking that's just how that map looks. Cause you're kind of like in like the ravine and it's raining, I think.

42:01.98
Tony Sisk
Uh, so I think it's just part of the the weather effects and stuff like that. But

42:09.66
Tony Sisk
I can see where if you stick with this game and you actually learn what everything means and how everything works and stuff like that, that there would be a level of satisfaction of a from this game.

42:22.65
Tony Sisk
But you actually have to really put in the time and effort to reach that level. And I don't know if enough people would be willing to do that.

42:31.40
Jaime G
that's That's the initial problem I have with this game is that when the server slam was going on, i was talking with some people and like some reading some posts and people were like, this is not a game that you can just like grab and hop on and play and know what's happening.

42:50.21
Jaime G
There just isn't. And it's like, you only have a limited time window. to make this game count, you want as many people as you can playing it and having a good time versus trying to figure it out.

43:04.09
Tony Sisk
Right. Where, you know, like I said, it's an extraction shooter um like Ark Raiders. And Ark Raiders is super simple to figure out. Hey, you're going to go up here ah into the zone.

43:18.13
Tony Sisk
You're going to collect a bunch of stuff and then you're going to come back and hopefully you don't die and lose all your stuff.

43:24.60
Jaime G
Yeah. Yeah.

43:25.09
Tony Sisk
Right.

43:25.69
Jaime G
yeah

43:25.85
Tony Sisk
Pretty simple concept. The maps are pretty wide open. You can see which is you know, you would think that would be just ah an assumed thing with any game.

43:36.94
Tony Sisk
Like, Oh, I can see what's going on. Um, apparently not that that's not in a design of um a lot of certain games.

43:47.13
Tony Sisk
Um, like in marathon, I literally had a difficulty determining what a door was like, where are the doors? Like, ah like,

43:55.22
Jaime G
Dude, there you go. Like, that's...

43:59.03
Tony Sisk
And not to say like, oh, ah you figure it out within like, you know, a few seconds. But the fact that I actually had to stop for a second, even to just just determine if something was a door or not, like kind of like leads to like, man, your design is not that great.

44:19.70
Tony Sisk
Like if I can't even determine that as like something natural, right?

44:24.70
Jaime G
Yeah, right.

44:25.11
Tony Sisk
If I walk into a house, I shouldn't have a problem with anybody's living space knowing where a door is. How maddening that would be if you had to go through that every time you went somewhere?

44:38.39
Tony Sisk
now

44:41.56
Tony Sisk
that that is off-putting i don't know of ah enough people are just i don't know the longevity of a game that's going to make it that difficult on its player base where they have to put that much time and effort into it there will be players that will love that uh but we know like in the in the industry it's like man people are moving on to the next game fairly quickly

44:53.12
Jaime G
Yeah.

45:04.70
Jaime G
I mean, you you have a very limited attention span nowadays.

45:09.53
Tony Sisk
Right. Like a year, like a year, if you're successful for a year, like you're you're pushing half a million players, man, at the end of the year, if you have a hundred thousand players, then you've done something.

45:24.47
Tony Sisk
Right. Like most games lose players and I'm actually surprised. Like the game has, been out for since last friday i think it's monday now so it's been out three or four days you know it's concurrent players is what is about 148 000 or something like that which is a way bigger number than i anticipated so right um

45:46.60
Jaime G
I'm surprised.

45:52.09
Tony Sisk
and the difference another thing is like word of mouth like You can tell when a property is going to be really bigger than, you know, a success is when people are just talking about it on, you know, and sharing it, sharing it at the water cooler and stuff.

46:11.58
Tony Sisk
I don't know if I've gotten that. I've not heard anybody. I've heard one person talk about marathon. um But um outside of that, you know, have not heard anybody else. So,

46:25.19
Tony Sisk
I'm not seeing a lot on, you know, just popping up on my YouTube or on my other social media stuff. You can tell like when stuff is like blowing up, you, your feeds are usually loaded with it.

46:35.37
Jaime G
Let me ask a different question. this The stuff that is showing up, is it generally positive or negative?

46:47.61
Tony Sisk
I have more, like I said, I haven't actually seen anything negative since its release. But I haven't heard people just raving about either. like I've seen clips of people moving and shooting and stuff like that that are very like, oh, this that looks like Destiny.

47:06.94
Tony Sisk
right Which we said this game was like, it's made by Bungie. It's a Destiny. you know It's got Destiny DNA in it. um And people are like, the people that have figured out the game are moving like experienced players, right?

47:24.98
Tony Sisk
they They make it look like they're doing something that I did not experience in my playthrough when I played it.

47:25.71
Jaime G
Yeah.

47:32.44
Tony Sisk
But again, i only played it for three days. So you have to work your way up to those levels of skill. So if you're willing to put the time and effort, then maybe it's a game worth worth it. for yeah I just don't know the longevity of it.

47:48.44
Tony Sisk
The player base has to go up, right? It needs to go up. So, like, you it's it's hit its release. There should be, like, you know, at some point, like, ah an explosion of new players because word of mouth is so good. And then a plateau and then kind of slow descent back down.

48:09.30
Tony Sisk
Like, but we're only, we're starting at what, the only, the number I saw was, like, 148,000. This was like, on Saturday night. so

48:19.83
Tony Sisk
Which is way better than I thought. We're not talking like High Guard here, which, you know, High Guard had like 4,000 players or something ridiculous, like 10,000 max, you know, something like that ah concurrent.

48:25.69
Jaime G
That is dead.

48:35.15
Tony Sisk
And that game is being shut down. And that game was awful. ah um

48:39.83
Jaime G
Yeah.

48:42.17
Tony Sisk
But I don't know. I'm like, I feel like I want to give it another chance. But also, I don't want to put that much work into it when I'm having such a, like, I'm having more enjoyment out of Raiders. And these games fit the same category, right? They're both extraction shooters. Where I do think Marathon is more of a Destiny shooter, right? You're going to have, like, when you see somebody, you're shooting them.

49:11.45
Jaime G
Right. ah jerry

49:12.25
Tony Sisk
Yeah, it's like, oh, I'm not, we're not, you know, having a party in the lift, you know?

49:12.38
Jaime G
right

49:18.43
Tony Sisk
and Like in Arc Raiders, you can go games and games and days and days without having without being shot by somebody. Unless you're advanced who gets shot every time. Um...

49:31.06
Tony Sisk
In this in marathon, it's like, oh, yeah, it's a straight up shooter. Like you see somebody, you're shooting. That's what I feel like. there's There is a different tone to it. And I feel like the people that want more of a PVP experience are going to go to a marathon. So maybe that maybe that's the case. Maybe that will actually happen.

49:48.95
Tony Sisk
But I don't know.

49:51.39
Jaime G
I think, though, that this game has got a big uphill battle to to try to be become relevant right now.

50:01.40
Tony Sisk
Yeah, we'll see in a couple weeks what those numbers look like. i I mean, yeah, I probably won't drop the $40 on it because we got a bunch of good games that are going to drop. so And it's not better than Ark Raiders.

50:23.29
Jaime G
Well, there you go. oh seriously. I mean, our creators right now has has a huge player base. So is the value prop in this one enough to pull, what, 50% of those those players into this?

50:42.21
Jaime G
I don't see it.

50:44.76
Tony Sisk
Right. If anything, what I see is like arc raiders seeing some of the things that they they're doing in. um Marathon and implementing it in arc raiders, which I would like to see like marathon has like factions and you can level up, you know, reputation and factions and stuff and get different, you know, it's just like destiny.

51:08.43
Jaime G
Yeah

51:12.54
Tony Sisk
You remember in destiny, you could, get a factions you get rep with.

51:16.18
Jaime G
There was three factions that you could join

51:18.98
Tony Sisk
It works the same. I think it's basically the same thing. I would like that implemented in Arc Raiders because there's not really anything like that. um But yeah, I mean...

51:29.40
Jaime G
I was ah speaking of our creators. I was listening to Michael Pachter. um Apparently, the the people who put out our creators are going on this model of like developing games that aren't like several hundred millions of dollars of games like you know Final Fantasy Rebirth and being able to make them as addictive as they can.

51:57.50
Jaime G
So the finals and Arc Raiders are two examples of the games that they're trying to put. And he's got like a bet going on um with somebody who's funded Arc Raiders that they're going to hit a billion dollars within its first year.

52:16.63
Jaime G
And if they can do that, where the game that was like kind of not as expensive to put together as others that are out there, that's a sustainable model.

52:27.80
Tony Sisk
right yeah i mean if you can do that you have to make a good game yeah you have to make a good game i'm like sony's been trying to do that with like these ah what do you call them um they're not free-to-play models they're um

52:30.42
Jaime G
Because he even the finals was, I think, free to play. Yeah.

52:50.14
Jaime G
Pay to win?

52:50.30
Tony Sisk
marathon pay to win don't know what you want to call it i there's a term for it i can't remember what it is um

52:58.23
Tony Sisk
you know the model where people, you have like a... a Why is my blank and brain going blank? you know The Game Pass, not the Game Pass, but the... ah Like in Call Duty, where you have... a you You pay for the Season Pass.

53:15.05
Jaime G
C's and passes. Right,

53:16.15
Tony Sisk
Yeah, the Season Pass, where you're just dropping money on you know the Pass and then... Like the Battle Royales and stuff like that.

53:25.21
Jaime G
right. right

53:25.69
Tony Sisk
Yeah. Like Sony wanted to like, they had like 11 studios or something working on these type of games instead of making solo single player games, which is is what they were known for because, you know, they look at like Fortnite and Call Duty and, you know, those type of games that just have this, you know, model where they're just bringing in billions of dollars every cycle.

53:50.12
Jaime G
Right.

53:50.71
Tony Sisk
and they're just introducing like little upgrades, right? A little season pass where they're just, you know, putting things in there to keep people paying for it. That's what they were going, wanting to do this, this time around, like this, the PlayStation five was supposed to be like the, the, the, the era of pay to, of,

54:14.20
Tony Sisk
pay to play, pay to win, free to play, whatever. It's just subscription-based season passes where they just can constantly get money out of you versus what they used to be, which is like PS4, PS3, where they single-player one-and-dones with an expansion that you could buy year later.

54:33.46
Jaime G
Dude, remember the days where like, exactly, do where you could buy a game that was a finished product and you didn't have to buy any expansions to like get the the real ending or like, it was just the game.

54:36.15
Tony Sisk
a year later

54:51.42
Tony Sisk
yeah but everybody's trying to do this i mean but not oh not everybody is successful like there's not a hundred different games out there that are successful it's only half a dozen like most of them are failures so uh the the ones that are really successful are those uh with uh the chinese ones ah

55:16.66
Jaime G
Oh, like Stellar Blade?

55:19.61
Tony Sisk
yeah no um

55:23.08
Tony Sisk
uh, Hawkeye stairs.

55:23.38
Jaime G
Hoyo Burst.

55:25.56
Tony Sisk
Was it?

55:26.71
Jaime G
The Hoyo Burst.

55:27.64
Tony Sisk
Yeah. People were dropping like hundreds of dollars on skins and stuff on character models.

55:34.87
Jaime G
oh Oh, man. i

55:36.24
Tony Sisk
Yeah.

55:36.41
Jaime G
i played Sinless Zone Zero like for a long while, and I didn't drop any real-life currency in it.

55:44.78
Tony Sisk
Yeah, well, that's a good thing. It's like you can play those games are not putting anything a into it at all and have a satisfying experience.

55:51.55
Jaime G
Yeah.

55:55.67
Tony Sisk
So anyway, yeah, that's how I played Marathon Arc Raiders. Yeah.

56:05.61
Jaime G
