What is the main topic of this episode?
Hello, fellow gamers, and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. Today, we will team up in Lords of the Fallen with its seamless co-op, nail gravity-defying flips with fish and tuna hakes underwater, and master chess-inspired souls-like adventures in Stone Machia. But before that, I wouldn't necessarily say he's jumped the shark, but his ability to ollie, kickflip, and grind as a fish tells me it's just a matter of time. It's Ryan.
Say less, man. If you're going to combine skateboarding and fish, what more can you ask for?
That's true. You do love aquariums, don't you?
I do. I got a saltwater aquarium right away. I was like, oh, I know what that fits. Look at this copper pan. Look at that. That's, oh, man.
Oh, man. I didn't even think about that. I was like, oh, yeah, Ryan loves escape, but I totally forgot you love aquariums and fish, too.
Yep.
It's like perfect for you.
I'm stoked, man. Yeah, I'm excited. Everybody listening, you may have noticed a voice intro-ing us today. Our big boy Ace is hitting those reins, and he's going to run this thing, and so I can kick back and just relax.
Yeah, I know. You and Josh get to take a little break. As people may have noticed, he's not here. We're giving him a little break from all the chaos, and honestly, we just can't pull him away from Expedition 33. That's the real issue. We can't get him here. He doesn't want to come.
Chomping on baguettes and waiting for his turn to attack.
Yeah, no. We already know how you feel about Expedition 33, right?
No, I haven't said anything. I've been very, very cautious on my take. We're going to save it for the deep dive.
Okay, we're saving it for the deep dive. Is that it? Just like how John and Josh are saving it for the deep dive. They are not.
They have made it known in our Discord exactly where they stand on this game. Like every three hours, guys, I love this game.
We've got some interesting little topics to go over today. I would say some of them more interesting than the others, in my opinion, but we're going to start with Lords of the Fallen. Have you ever heard of Lords of the Fallen, Ryan?
The name is vaguely familiar. I went and looked at it and stuff. I don't remember seeing anything like this, but I know the name.
This was going to be one of the biggest indie souls likes with a dark fantasy setting. It looked incredible. People were so hyped for it. And when it released, it was just kind of dead on arrival. It was so disappointing, man. Yeah, but we may have a cyberpunk ask redemption story on our hands with Lords of the Fallen as they've gotten a 2.0 update as it would be that went live this April that overhauled the game completely.
Oh, that's good.
Yeah. It added a seamless co-op and progression system and a friend pass, which we may know from games like It Takes Two or Split Fiction, where only one person has to own the game to play with their friends. So we're always on board with something like that. Like, why don't more developers do that?
I was just going to say, dude, props to the devs that do that because that's just one more easier kind of access, you know, point of entry for people who may not have played those games a ton or not super, like, interested in them. But, hey, I'll give it a try with you, buddy. It's free. Exactly.
You are not a Souls-like guy. But if I tell you I have Lords of the Fallen and you could play it with me for free, the very idea of just playing a game with me is enough to get you interested. Yeah.
For sure, yeah, to hop on with your buddy and just play a game and check it out and maybe find something that you otherwise wouldn't have played or don't like that genre. So I do think that's a cool thing they're doing. So with this, like with the big flop where it kind of came out, what were the issues with it? Was it just like bad mechanics?
Yeah, I was just about to get to that. It was janky. It was really janky and it was really unsatisfying to play. The combat did not feel fluid. People just did not enjoy this game and this came out around the same time as like Liza P so people were very heavily comparing the two and Liza P was just a much better Andy Souls like. Lords of the Fallen, however, it fell short, to say the least.
