Transcript
00:00Battlefield 3 was hard.
00:02What do you think is an underrated game?
00:05Battlefield 3. Because of the COD hype.
00:08COD made it sort of fly under the radar, but Battlefield 3 was hard.
00:12For me, it was one storytelling, two immersion.
00:15I know COD had the hype and it had all the glitz and glamour,
00:18and all my friends were on COD, but yeah, for me, Battlefield 3.
00:21And PES, actually, I would say. Remember PES 8?
00:23Listen, people don't realise PES was better than FIFA at a point.
00:26People don't know. PES was the one over FIFA.
00:30It was. And you know when Adriano, you just put that full shot power,
00:34he would always score, so yeah.
00:35A few years ago, I saw my sister's boyfriend playing Grand Theft Auto again,
00:40and it was a reintroduction to the game.
00:42And I guess it's come a long way.
00:43I mean, I know video games in general have come a long way,
00:45like the graphics are insane now, but I saw the entire city come alive,
00:50and that was insane to watch.
00:52And I don't know if people don't talk about it enough,
00:54or I'm saying if it is underrated, it shouldn't be,
00:56because I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
00:58Specific streets that I have driven down, I'm like,
01:00this is all here in the game, and you're seeing it happen in real time,
01:04as a player is maneuvering its way through the city.
01:06So that was something that I thought was very impressive when I saw it after many years.
01:09I'll give you two.
01:10There's a game from Capcom called Path of the Goddess,
01:14and I thought it was such a unique game on Japanese culture.
01:18It's turn-based, but also action incorporated in it.
01:22Also, I'm kind of the champion for Midnight Suns.
01:27Card-based, turn-based, really love that game.
01:29I love Jake Solomon.
01:30He made XCOM, which I mentioned earlier.
01:32So yeah, I would say those two games were kind of like my sleeper gems that I always kind of
01:37promote,
01:37and also games like atmospheric games that are like, they don't tell you to hold your hand.
01:42So I come from like the out of the swirls, the insides.
01:45Planet Alana kind of represents that, that's out right now.
01:48So those type of games with those kind of nice little art styles,
01:51and the atmospheric non-storytelling.
01:52All right.
01:53Let's go.
01:53Let's go.
