Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

That's for free on there also, so I'll have to give that a, a t- a try at some point.

The Great Circle.

The new one, even though, like, the graphics on that game kinda weird me out.

I think everybody looks weird in it.

Yeah.

The most, so from like, it must have been w- 2010 or 2013, the Tomb Raider reboots and, uh, and then Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Yeah.

Those, the, so v- v- those two franchises have side quests that involve tombs.

Sideways arrows

...

in the, ex- ex- which is in the tutorial for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Mm.

Well, not just came out, but came out like three years ago now, maybe?

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Yeah.

I mean, I played maybe like an hour or two of that.

Just take that and put it on everything.

But it works here as well.

I didn't feel like Indy, whereas I haven't played The Great Circle yet, but I bet that did a good job of making you feel like Indiana Jones compared to something like this.

I think it's just a good philosophy of game design if you're designing a game around a recognizable character that people particularly like.

Like, I wasn't going in for the James Bond bit.

And, and I do wonder if you need to have that, like, love of James Bond to, like, really, really enjoy this because I, I sort of feel like Indiana Jones, uh, Great Circle, I, I loved that game, and I wouldn't describe myself as a big Indiana Jones guy, but I definitely have more affection for those movies than I do James Bond.

But I felt like that sold me on the fantasy of being Indiana Jones in a way that didn't feel like...

I don't know, maybe just, maybe just the fundamental building brocks of, blocks of what makes Indiana Jones a good character appeal to me more than, than James Bond.

... and I don't feel stressed out about it.

Most recent example, I'm currently going through Indiana Jones and the Great Circle finally.

Oh.

And I have gotten to the Vatican level, which is like the first level that opens up stuff for you.

Right.

[laughs]

Um, but yeah, it, Great Circle is, is, is helping me out in that regard.

With that game, though, like levels like the Vatican or you, um, the, the, the next one or whatever, but, like, it's that feeling of like, "Let me see everything before I move on," 'cause you're kind of aware that you're gonna get level locked.

I mean, I mentioned this in last week's episode.

I was up to a horrible boss on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which is basically this tactic, because it's a blind bastard who chases you round a room and tries to hear where you are and kick the shit out of you.

I have a name

nameHe has a name too, he's called the Geezer Giant.

And that's just like, what? That's like the last of us.

That's like, what game did I just beat the other? Indiana Jones was short.

Yeah.

They're all short.

Indiana Jones was very short.

That's the one we should have been hating.

That one hurt.
