So, so what, what is that, what is that for people that, that aren't aware, what, what is the time mechanic?

So the time i- the way it works is every time you do a, uh, side quest or main quest, or you go to a shrine to, uh, get a new upgrade, your t- time will pass.

So in, like, the top right corner you'll have, like, the time of day.

So it might be morning, and every time you're doing a big action, we'll call it, in the game, it will then make time keep progressing.

Um, and yeah, it is so much fun because it's a game with consequences from the jump.

From the moment you start that game, everything you do has to be calculated, and you have to think about it.

So the example I've been giving to people is I start the game, I need to go and get some medicine for somebody that is sick.

Mm.

Yeah.

Don't pay...

I think the, the white Ally was, like, 500, the, the black Ally, which is the more powerful one, was, like, 800.

They just brought out a 1,200 pound, uh, OLED version.

Okay, why am I buying that then? If y- if you're t- [laughs] if you're adding more, uh, barriers to entry into even using this system more, why would I do this? It makes no sense.

It really does.

It's, it's so frustrating because, like you said before, Xbox, I felt like the PR, PR mountain was they were finally climbing it again.

But this isn't who's playing it.

Right.

We got the CGI trailer, which showed the deer, which then all came out was like, "There, there's not even deers in the game." But, but the, the concept of what State of Decay was was in that trailer, right? I've been excited for that, this game since then.

I wasn't...

I love State of Decay 1.

I became a big fan of it because of your review, um, back in the day.

Um, and then State of Decay 2 comes out, and me and Greg Miller end up playing it together, and it's not quite what I want from a multiplayer perspective.

So a hype of State of Decay 3 for me was it's Xbox now own Undead Labs.

[laughs]

What's up, sir?

Hello, hello, hello.

I'm back.

They brought in...

They brought me back one more time.

This could be it.

This could be...

[laughs]

... your thoughts on Beast of Reincarnation.

Yeah, the combat, the combat system, for me, was what, what impressed me the most.

I...

This was a game that I was, uh, kind of interested in, mainly because it's Game Freak.

I think that was where you sort of go, "Okay." As soon as you hear a studio like that making something that's not Pokemon, you're like, "Okay, I'm gonna pay attention." Um, the combat system, the turn base, reminded me similar of, like, Final Fantasy Remake, for people that have played that.

Come out on Xbox today, if I'm not mistaken.

Um, it, it looked really good, and that's what kinda blew me away the most.

Yeah.
