Where you and your homies are walking around, but you're so locked into the story, and you could show that in a video and make it go like, wow, that could be me and my friends.

But that's not going to be the case.

You know, even in something like Destiny, when the cutscene is playing, you know, you're usually just fucking around and, like, making jokes or whatever.

And I...

I think I got kind of pumped up for hearing about what the end game of this is, where there will be moments where there is some puzzle solving and there is some sort of raid mechanics, but not quite there.

I would say more like, you know, I'm not trying to say expect a Destiny raid, but I love the idea of them getting more creative with the world and kind of making the most out of it.

Because I don't... At the end of the day, it's still like...

alright, I'm going to get third-partied by some random squad, and I'm going to get annoyed, and then that one robot that I was fighting is going to be shooting me too, and I'm just going to be like, fuck this.

The frustration sets in there.

So this is something I want to try out, and I will be playing.

I just don't think I'll be playing it for that much.

Do you think the world's going to play it?

I...

I think that... I think Ark Raiders has really opened up people to the idea of this being a genre that's here to stay.

I think that the timing's also pretty decent.

I think Ark Raiders is still hot, but you may...

if you release the month after arc Raiders releases and it's the hottest thing on the planet, awful idea.

I think if I'm looking at this from the optimist perspective, you've had some time where, you know, our credit is still coming out with content, but there may still be things that the community goes, man, they never fixed this, or this is still broken.

What the hell, you know, like there may be some frustration there, uh,

And that's me looking at it from the most optimistic standpoint, because I still think Ark Raiders will dominate this game in terms of numbers.
