Jesse DeRosaHOST
So a couple of things I want to talk about.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
So I'm still playing The Ascent.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
I'm working through it.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
I'm about halfway through the game.
10 MINS LATER
Jesse DeRosaHOST
So September, October, November, I had three trips planned back to back to back for better or for worse.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
I really don't like flying, but I got three trips planned.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
So uh originally i was like i'm gonna save splatoon because i feel like splatoon raiders will be such a perfect game to play on a flight or an airport so i i held on to i stopped playing about halfway through it and i and i was reserving it but then in the past couple weeks i've been like you know what dude i fucking love the xbox rock ally i want to travel with it i want to experience what it's like to take some of that xbox experience on the go so i went on amazon i found like a cheap like whatever made in china 17 carrying case for the xbox ally and i picked it up and i'm gonna try you know see what it's like traveling with the xbox ally let's let's figure it out so i got sprawl zero pre-loaded i got hot wheels uh infinite rush pre-loaded i got some other games on there i still got the ascent i got a bunch of games loaded up on my xbox ally and i'm gonna be hitting the road with that thing and seeing how that goes you know playing it every night in a hotel room playing in the airports things like that So I'm very excited to take it on the road and see what that's like.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
But because I made that decision, I was like, well, I guess that means I can go back to Splatoon Raiders.
DaveyHOST
So yeah, it's...
DaveyHOST
It look-- It definitely looks like The Ascent, uh, which is a game that me and Spence played a few hours into, and we didn't go back to actually for some reason.
Philip HoyHOST
Oh, yeah.
DaveyHOST
It does look just like The Ascent, uh, which is what IGN are putting their writeup on this actually, and it does.
DaveyHOST
Yeah, I like this.
DaveyHOST
I think it looks cool.
DaveyHOST
I think the problem is for me, is that I haven't gone back to The Ascent.
DaveyHOST
So even though I was enjoying it, like we put a couple of nights into The Ascent and, and we got, we got few hours.
JoeHOST
And
JakeHOST
it's by the Ascent devs.
JakeHOST
Yes.
JakeHOST
And we believe it's set in the same world.
BradHOST
yeah well
JoeHOST
it seems like
BradHOST
there's a few different sort of like paths you can take which is okay which is cool i think it looks really nice um my biggest concern is how how i want to say poorly optimized the ascent was because it didn't run the best even years later um it was fine but it crashed a lot for us and there was quite a few bits of slowdown like three years after it came out this game looks even more
JoeHOST
it looks so optimistic technical yeah i do wonder if this is a free roam game or a linear game as well because it wasn't really clear
Shams JorjaniHOST
They
Fernando RizzoHOST
made The Ascent, which is very good.
Fernando RizzoHOST
The Ascent.
Fernando RizzoHOST
very
Shams JorjaniHOST
good, very beautiful, very strong visual direction, art direction and good gameplay.
DaveHOST
Um, so I would, I would quite like that maybe.
DaveHOST
Uh, and it's, So interestingly enough, it's made by the devs who made The Ascent, which I really enjoyed.
DaveHOST
I like The Ascent.
DaveHOST
I think it had a little bit of a mixed reception.
DaveHOST
I
DaveHOST
was a very good game.
DaveHOST
I had a good time with it just as a sort of reasonably traditional RPG, but combined with some twin stick shooter action.
DaveHOST
Did either of you guys play The Ascent?
Jesse DeRosaHOST
So I'm not going to really get into that, but...
Jesse DeRosaHOST
The main thing here, let's talk about the number one game I've been playing, which is actually the Ascent.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
So I am very excited.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
This is what are they called? Neon Giant, Neon Fish, Neon.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
What are they called? The Ascent game.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
There's so many fucking neon something developers out there.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
You know, they think they're all so cute.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
And then I just said, I'll come back to this someday and then never came back to it.
James FarleyHOST
Also, I like the look of No Law as well.
James FarleyHOST
This is from the developers of The Ascent and it's an open world.
James FarleyHOST
It looks like cyberpunk.
James FarleyHOST
It really looks like cyberpunk because it is a cyberpunk game.
James FarleyHOST
It's a
Sean BellHOST
tricky one because I really liked The Ascent but it did have a lot of problems.
Sean BellHOST
It's one of those where it's like, oh man, if the devs Just do this again, but refine it.
Sean BellHOST
That'll be fucking awesome.
BradHOST
the more that I see it.
BradHOST
I did not know this was made by the same folks that made that Xbox arcade game The Ascent a couple years ago, which is that top-down cyberpunk shooter.
MicahHOST
