What is Marvel Rivals and why are we discussing it?
Hello, fellow duelists. Well, let's be honest. No one plays strategists or vanguards. And welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. We're supposed to be on break for the holidays, but we just can't help ourselves. So we're back early and we're going to be covering the new hotness that is Marvel Rivals. But first, some introductions are in order. I am your host, Josh. And joining me, he Insta-locks Moon Knight, and he's been staring at more cake than a baker. It's Ryan. Oh, God.
Come on now. Come on now. I feel like Martha Stewart with all this cake going on. Oh, the cake shop is open. It is open for business. All are welcome.
They're superheroes, man. Of course they do squats. Absolutely. That's what they're here for. Yeah, exactly. This is just a realistic representation of fictional characters, man. God bless it. Oh, boy. Well, Ryan, here we are. Hopefully the listeners are like, wait a minute. I thought we weren't getting a new episode till 2025. Yeah, right.
Psych. This is just a prerecorded intro. We're going to start the rewind here now.
Yeah.
Just kidding.
No, we're back, dude. We have been playing Marvel Rivals. We know so many people that have been playing this game. It is taking the world by storm. You and I have been playing a good bit together, which has been a blast. We've been playing with Ace of Shame and some of the other listeners. And I mean, honestly, it's just one of those games that lends itself to... If you want to play with us, come play with us. It's just a bunch of fun, man. But we were talking about it, and we said, man, it feels like it's been forever since we recorded a new episode. Yeah, yeah. And Christmas was yesterday. It was. So I think we're in the giving space. And we just said, man, we got to do a Marvel Rivals episode. We got to get on.
We miss the people. We miss talking to everybody. We miss sharing our wealth or lack of wealth of knowledge. But we're probably just overly excited. So we wanted to record. Us? Over excited about video games? That doesn't sound like us at all.
So, you know, here we are. We're going to be covering Marvel Rivals. Don't worry. Our most anticipated games of 2025 episode comes out Thursday. Thursday. We are back, Ryan. We are back, baby. We are back. We are back. We are. Yeah, this is not a one timer. We're back. The show is back on. We've got new episodes. Thanks for everybody that listened to our repeat episodes. Those were good episodes, man. I was just listening to the Pacific Drive one this morning on my way to work. And I was like, I remember why we hated this game so much.
I saw that when I looked and I saw it because I didn't know what episode you were going to throw up. And I saw Pacific Drive and I'm like, he would put that episode up. I'm like, I'm not listening to it. I don't want to bring up those old wounds.
Now, we have always said we are gamers. We're not experts. And I was thinking about what's a game that was disappointing to us? Because we do not do the, oh, every game's great. It has something to be praised kind of thing. We're also not rage baiters. So we're not slamming every game that comes out and talking about how terrible it is and stuff like that. We are just honest to goodness, lifelong gamers. And so not every game is going to resonate with us. And I thought, you know what? I want to play this episode again for people because number one, it came out early in the year. And number two, it was a big disappointment to us. And I wanted to kind of put it out there because it was a game that we were very hyped for. Yeah, yeah.
And it just goes to show you that we're not always going to be right on things that we think are going to be great. And that's just part of being a gamer, man. Sometimes a game's not going to live up to the expectations you have. And I think Pacific Drive more so than like Dragon Age Veil Guard caught us off guard with how disappointed we were. Like we knew with Dragon Age Veil Guard that there was a good chance that that game was going to suck.
