Easy Allies Podcast

[@TheFerris96]

59:34 "When my gun was in my holster I pushed R2 and he shot the ground." Ehrmantraut voice: "Shouldn't have done that."

[@1134calc]

Correction: Mr. Driller is good, the protagonist is the son of the player character of Dig Dug. Love & Respect!

[@ericgg]

practice gun safety, always treat your gun as loaded, don't rest your finger on the R2 unless you really mean to shoot.

[@s.m.a8182]

And don't forget to holster your weapon when you want to greet someone because everyone is armed and you'll get shot.

[@maxpower2448]

This. I really don't get how so many people are having trouble with the controls. Holster them things if your not using them.

[@Cinderkin]

The Orange tint for Halloween was very clever guys.

[@TheWallyruss]

They should keep it this lighting/tint. Looks really nice :)

[@DeviMon1]

Reminded me of 2016 EZA podcasts where the lighting was always like this!

[@ShindlerReal]

Correction. That $100 version of RDR2 doesn't include game itself.

[@phaedrussocrates7636]

So, those particular customers would pay in total 160$ for RDR2 - that makes it that much easier to rake in crazy money!

[@delinquencypunch9905]

Wait. What? I got the Ultimate Edition which cost a $100 and I'm pretty sure it had the game in it. In a nifty steelbook case even. Or is there a different $100 version that I'm unaware of?

[@TiJoHimself]

Delinquency Punch He’s talking about the $100 collectors box which essentially just has a lot of RDR2 knick knacks in in it like playing cards, etc. It’s different from the $100 ultimate edition

Correction (kind of): R2 is the quick draw button which is probably what happened to Ian. You don't need to hit L2 first to shoot.

[@boldlyfumblin]

Oh boy, I was so excited for Kyle to pick my Strudel Bibpum for Recruit Me... then Brad's damning "get LOST, Strudel!". OUCH. Still, it's probably best he's dead. Let's be clear - his Shadow Hearing techniques let him hear anything in 100 metres. That's 328 feet! You would not have been safe with him as your enemy... L&R, and great episode as always boys.

[@shaqsoda7649]

Thanks for bringing such a funny character to recruit me.

[@Acarinn]

Ian is completely wrong about the controls. LT never aims the gun out unless you have it in your hand already. It only focuses the camera / presents contextual options. so if you are running around with your gun in your hand yeah its only a matter of pressing LT and then RT to shoot someone. if you gun is in your holster you either have to press L1 to unholster it, then press LT to aim, then press RT to shoot the dude. Or Press LT to focus, press RT to "draw weapon" and then press RT AGAIN to shoot. how do you perform three button presses accidentally?

[@Acarinn]

it doesnt at ALL matter the distance at which you are from a person when you press LT. the only difference that makes is whether it focuses on them or focuses on nothing / something closer. you can absolutely walk around holding LT without ever aiming your weapon.

[@BigBarkleyValley]

You can holster your gun by tapping L1 and still pull it out again by holding L2. I always make sure my fists are selected so I don't accidently pull out my gun. L1 and right on the right analog stick.

[@ThisAlbino]

Brandon is always so anti-consumer, it's annoying at this point. He loves using the argument that if you can't come up with something better yourself, your complaint is invalid. It's not the consumers responsibility to fix the issue, only to point it out (Mark Rosewater talks about this in his 20 Years, 20 Lessons GDC talk). The initial question was about learning the controls, and the process of tutorialisation, not the controls in general, but the allies seemed to only focus on that.

[@JazGalaxy]

Regarding Toshinden, a lot of gamers don’t know or forget that Battle Arena Toshinden was a system seller for the PS1. It was specifically the counter to Virtua Fighter on the Sega Saturn. It was basically PlayStation’s Altered Beast. A game that sold systems was wasn’t very good in retrospect. Sophia, from Toshinden, was the PlayStation mascot for a while before Crash and all PlayStation kiosks brazenly showed of screenshots from Toshinden as marketing for the system. S big part of thevappeal was the fact that Toshinden was texture mapped when most 3D games weren’t, yet. Virtua Fighter made a “remixed” version with Texture maps just to compete.

[@skinnyluigi]

There's no guarantee Strudel can understand the language of the enemy monsters. He's useless!

[@boldlyfumblin]

Damn, I didn't think of that when I designed him!

[@bluefury]

I won't tolerate a bad word about Mr. Driller!

[@professionalvillains134]

The L2 "talk" and "gun" thing has caused me problems several times. A good game, that has frustrated me several times. But I enjoy my time with it.

[@clockstomper]

I thought Jones was a bit too quick to dismiss any RDR2 complaint, he acted like Ian and others were dumb. But there are obtuse and odd control schemes in the game that take getting used to (trade off being the amount of interaction you get, which is awesome.) Especially holding L2 to pull up menus of context actions, it's tough to deprogram your brain because that's now become the universal "aim gun" button. Have a little tolerance, everyone. Don't be one of those drones who lives to defend a company (you know the types, they're all over youtube, easy allies is beloved because it's a shelter from that storm. IMHO, at least.)

[@verkligheten9345]

If you go into the L1 menu and go to fist equip you never pull out or shoot your gun on mistake. Just a lil tip

[@clockstomper]

@@verkligheten9345 Thanks. I still think it's a bizarre button choice, going with L2, R1/RB would have been a better button for selecting interactions.

[@Ayoul]

@@clockstomper It would make even less sense to have 2 "aiming" buttons. One of them behind on the right is even less intuitive too.

Correction of a correction: The character creator in SoulCalibur 3 is actually called Create-a-Soul (edit: probably wrong, misleading wiki entry) Math correction: Kyle stated DQ11 must have sold half as many copies as DQ9 due to the price being double. Since we know it made more than double the dollar amount, that means it sold at least the same number of copies (at double the price).

[@KyleBosman]

correction of a correction: prove it. Math correction: valid

[@abrack_]

I don't own SoulCalibur III so I can't exactly take a screenshot, hope the SC wiki is valid enough proof soulcalibur.fandom.com/wiki/Character_Creation "Create-A-Soul (Soulcalibur III), Character Creation (Soulcalibur IV) or simply Creation(Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, Soulcalibur V) is a mode in the Soul series where players can create their own characters."

[@abrack_]

Correction to my correction of a correction: Probably wrong, shouldn't have trusted the wiki! This video shows them going into the mode and it's just called Custom Character Creation. Sorry Kyle! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWO2c5ePop2NjqM

[@Jambobist]

It wasn't even double the price, DQ9 sold for $35.

[@skyedogg]

I understand Ian's frustration but with Jones on this one. If your gun went off it's because it was in your hand. That's on you for walking around town with a gun in your hand.

[@DarshUK1]

Tbh i wouldn’t mind the realism push in RDR2 but I’ve had so many dumb things happen, like patting a dog had such a tedious animation that someone else walked up, had a problem with me standing in their way, and started attacking me as soon as I was done patting a dog. Haven’t patted another dog since :/ I know it sounds dumb but that’s 1 of many random tedious things that I wasn’t expecting from a pretty unanimous ‘10/10’ game lol

[@Ayoul]

10/10 doesn't mean the game is perfect and reads your mind to decide what the systems in place should do. I find it awesome that you've had this random interaction and I haven't.

[@dc2akira]

This is why you don’t give a game a 10/10. You now have to stand up for any issues that pop up and defend them.

[@frisbeejames]

I am very excited for next week's "Pokemon or real animal" segment

[@charoleawood]

[@VGJunky]

I have a lot of nostalgia for Mr Driller, sick game

[@chrisp2588]

I'm 20 hours or so into RDR2 and I still find the controls to be problematic. It has not gone away. I'm enjoying the game in spite of it, but I don't think you should discount the problems if after 60 hours you might not care as much as you did in the first 10. Shooting, for example, is still as underwhelming as it has been from the get go. The story and other immersion has become more compelling, but the flaws have remained the same.

[@jackflash8567]

Chris Phillips I find the shooting really fun and satisfying on foot, especially if it’s part of a mission. But I feel that might be because I’m “prepared” for a shootout. When a random encounter or ambush breaks out I find I’m so thrown for a loop that I don’t know what to do and then the controls suddenly become really difficult.

[@skyedogg]

@@jackflash8567 L1 is your friend. Practically pauses time and lets you asses the situation and pick the right tool for the job. At least, that's how I use it.

[@burgershot56]

you should adjust control settings if you didn't. Setting dead zone to zero fixed most of the control problems for me.

[@NileSings]

It's weird that people won't admit the controls are more convoluted than the average comparable game. It's just true.

[@Ayoul]

@@NileSings It's weird to me that people aren't adapting to them. There's a TON of interactions sure, but they're all very consistent. Fishing uses the same buttons as shooting. Shooting on foot is the same as on horse (some games have to switch buttons around for shooting while in vehicles cars because people expect to accelerate and brake with triggers). I got used to them after my first sitting of a couple hours. The only thing more convoluted than most games is the left trigger to focus on people when you don't have a gun out. That's literally it when you think about it. The rest is pretty par for the course so the fact that one button is causing all these issues to people is really funny to me.

[@bluefury]

Oh, I'm probably 25-30h into RDR2 and still do not enjoy the clunky controls/mechanics. The game is awesome in so many way, but there's just a ton of small annoyances there for me that keeps me from really enjoying it.

[@Zimisnumber1]

Ben at 23:45 trying so hard to convince Kyle of Puzzle Fighter’s goodness is too wholesome. I can’t handle it.

[@TotemoGaijin]

3+ hours just to get used to controls seems insane to me. It's a good thing my hands are already full with all the games I haven't been able to get to this year.

[@Ayoul]

Seems insane for a game like Mario. Makes sense for a game with many more interactions aimed at a more mature audience.

[@xtradressn2895]

just replayed Red Dead 2 and it still controls just as good as it did at launch, all the complaints were baloney

[@MaxJahner]

The one thing I wish that Red Dead 2 did, unless it already has it and I missed it, is a log of the info that pops up in the upper left hand corner. Doesn't have to be from the beginning of the game, just the last 10 or so tips. There have been several times where I glanced up there to catch the tail end of something that I probably wanted to know about. Ended up saving a clip on PS4 and leaving the game quickly to watch it which just... It's not the best. Maybe an extra tab in that left on D-pad set of menus (that I should probably be consulting more, come to think of it). I definitely had some troubles with doing things I didn't want, even once or twice well out of the first 15 hours, but I generally like the scheme now. It's very strange coming to it from just about any non-Rockstar game, but at this point, without about 50% completion on my save file, I like it.

[@Ayoul]

In the start menu, there's a help button. It shows pretty much every mechanic in the game. Not sure if that's what you're talking about.

[@JustinGreene0224]

RE: PS Classic is an insane missed opportunity. You will never get consensus on what games should be on this thing, but if they had dropped a 512GB SD Card into the mini-console, they could have added PS Store support to buy PS1 games for it. It would have satisfied people for all those games they wanted for it, and would have made it expandable that neither the NES or SNES classic are. I have no reason for this when my Vita can play more PS1 games.

[@nahimnotreal2544]

It’s not really for you tho. It’s for people who played ps1 and are like oh damn this thing I remember some of these games! And then buys it. Not everyone has the means or knowledge to emulate and install a bunch of third party stuff on their consoles.

[@JustinGreene0224]

@@nahimnotreal2544 I'd buy that argument if it wasn't $99 and we weren't talking about adding plain PS Store support, not emulation.

[@nahimnotreal2544]

Justin Greene well gee you just proved why it’s not for you. If people wanted ps1 games from the store they already would have them. The amount of those social media pages that covered this thing was huge. Those Snapchat story pages and those short now this type videos were shared a gajillion times over and tons of people now know about this. It’s for people who don’t want to even have the choice they just want the cool thing that looks like the console they used to play. My brother has already asked me where to buy one.

[@cmpblguy]

Correction: If Dragon Quest XI has more than twice the revenue of Dragon Quest 9, that means it sold at least as many copies as DQ9, not half as many.

[@alexanderchilton911]

... No we don't know that for sure because DS games were cheaper. But it will probably end up selling as much if not more with discounts etc. Kyle asks if it is enough for a game with a much bigger budget than anything they have made in the past. Square still hasn't said "we are satisfied with the sales"... which would also be stupid since there is a Switch version coming in 2019.

[@The_RedVIII]

There is one thing about Red Dead 2s control that frustrate the hell out of me (and I can't believe no one else is mentioning this). I was convinced that by now they would change that, but they did it again: Your character will only walk very slowly UNLESS you hold the X (or A on Xbox) button. WHAT? I mean, we are at an age of analog sticks that can register how far you push the stick into a specific direction. Every other game I can think of makes it so, that if you just slighty push the analog stick your character walks, if you push it all the way, the character will run. And guess what, even Red Dead 2 does it right, but only if you switch to first person mode! There it suddenly works. Why not in third person? Having the need to hold another button to run feels like I'm playing a PS2 game. My only guess on why they are doing it is, they really, really want us to walk instead of running. Maybe to make it look more realistic. And I kinda get that, because I'm one of those people who often walks through a town, instead of running, just because it feels more realistic. But I could do that by just slightly pushing the stick, if the game would let me. I don't get it.

[@quagthias]

While I agree, at least there's an option to toggle run instead of holding the button.

[@nahimnotreal2544]

Running is always the most annoying shit in rockstar games Fucking gta taptaptaptaptaptaptap

[@The_RedVIII]

@@hugo59208 that's not what I want either. I want stick sensitive controls, like in any other game. So that I can slightly adjust the walking speed. A run toggle doesn't help with that.

[@sacredarfaid3699]

I think the PS1 classic had more hurdles to consider when choosing its games. It's harder for Sony due to its 1st party games not being its bread and butter. They also have to compete with the redundancy that the classics on PSN and the re-releases bring.

World wide they will have around 200 (!) SKUs.

CORRECTION: The reason for the wording difference for first 3 days/weekend for RDR II, is that GTA V launched on a Tuesday so its 3 days was Tue/Wed/Thur and RDR II launched on a Friday so its 3 days was Fri/Sat/Sun and also counted as a weekend.

[@generalwoofles6240]

The main thing I hate that Rockstar carried over from previous game is mashing X to sprint. It wasn't so bad in GTA 5 but when you have to travel everywhere by horse I have to mash a button for 5 minutes straight just to get anywhere.

[@pedroferreira9234]

you have cinematic mode to cover that up

[@Maztuhmind]

You can change to controls to click on the left analog stick instead for sprinting on foot and the X or A button for crouching. If you time your taps right when sprinting on horse, you won't lose stamina.

[@Maztuhmind]

Hold off on a sale for it.

[@AussieGamer17]

I don’t think I’ll be picking up the PS classic.... maybe down the line on sale if that ever happens.

[@MaxJahner]

Another downside that didn't come up, at least for me, for the PS Classic: the controller just isn't that exciting. Like, it's nice... It *is* different than the PS3 controller. But... It's not that different? Especially when I've got a lot of the PS1 games I love already on my PS3. Part of the charm of buying a NES/SNES classic is getting to play those old games with a controller you may not have held in years. PlayStation evolved their controller, certainly, but it's a much more subtle evolution as far as how it feels.

[@metalmilitia89]

I don't mind the majority of RDR2's controls however I hate the whole having to tap X (A) to run.

[@JazGalaxy]

I’m not surprised at Red Dead’s sales, and I’m even less surprised at the negative response from gamers. When a game gets to a certain size and a certain production level, you get a LOT of sales to a “look-in” audience. They just want to be part of the pop culture event. When you sell to a crown that big, you can’t make everyone happy. I think the buyers who actually knew what they were getting and liked it is closer to what Kyle imagined sales to be pre-release.

39:13. this is noway anything new though and isn't revolutionary. reducing textures the further away they are is called mipmapping. they often use depth of field to hide it in newer games but, as far as i'm aware, most pc games have fullhd textures far away and can be toggled on of off with a mipmapping'like option.

[@Ayoul]

This might be a misunderstanding from Kyle or you about what Kyle meant, but they definitely don't have the highest quality assets for far away things in a lot of games. Most games (especially open world ones) use different LOD's for the same asset depending on distance because you won't see the details anyway so no point in rendering it.

[@andrewizquierdo5944]

01:00:00 Guys! Even if your weapon is in its holster, if you press L2 while your gun is "equipped" , will still result in you pulling out your gun. Just because your weapon is in it's hoster, this does not mean that it is now "un-equipped". In order to make sure you do not have the gun "equipped", you need to hold L1, and the turn your weapon wheel onto a blank slot, or your "fist" slot. I do this EVERY time i know i do not want to pull my gun out accidentally by pressing "L2". I agree with Ian, that it is annoying and kind of ridiculous. but i also agree with Jones because I don't have another solution. Pressing L2 will cause you to "aim", whether it's just aiming your focus or aiming your gun. so you need to be careful and make sure your gun is NOT ONLY in it's holster, but also, it is "unequipped" by opening your weapon wheel and selecting a blank slot or the fist slot. i hope this explains it.

[@7thsaga662]

Ridge Racer Type 4 is fantastic. It STILL looks and handles well. The soundtrack is all killer NO filler. And it's held up as one of the best racers of all time & goes back and worth with only Ridge Racer 5 as "Best Ridge Racer". It definitely belong on this PS1 Classic.

[@ChrisWTube]

The worst thing about RDR2's controls is when you are running and then aim, it drops you to the walk speed instead of the faster aiming movement speed. This makes keeping momentum up very difficult. Also A should be jump+block, X reload+melee and B crouch.

[@Ayoul]

"I want to hit this guy in the face, just let me reload for a sec" is what you're seriously suggesting? Edit: I'm dumb. It's already like that.

Sony owns Jet Moto, Gran Turismo, Wipeout, Alundra, Legend of Dragoon, and PaRappa. I'm surprised none of those games made it. Of course there are MANY absent 3rd party games too (Mega Man Legends, Bushido Blade, Silent Hill, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Dragon Quest 7, Suikoden 1 and 2, Legend of Mana, FF Tactics, Parasite Eve, Harvest Moon, and more mentioned by other Allies). I have to wonder why Sony bothered making this thing if they couldn't lock down the deals beforehand. The classic's list of games seems put together by whoever built the roster for PS Allstars Battle Royale. Would it be a good idea if Sony released a $50 add-on to this thing that came with a Dualshock 1 and 10 more games (Ape Escape, for example)?

The controls in this game haven’t gotten me killed as much as other games have with less button inputs.

Did Sony even develop any of the games on the PlayStation Classic?

Twisted Metal: The salty treat.

The PS1 classic is cash grab following the trend of mini consoles. It is harder for the PS1 to have the best games and for it to still be cost effective, because of licensing issues.. But from a consumer perspective, I don't see the appeal of spending the money. Nostalgia can sometimes be used as a trick

The biggest complaint I've seen about RDR 2 is that people don't like that X or A is held to run and they say that Rockstar should clue in and have had to click L3 to toggle run. The funny thing is that you can change the controls to standard FPS which changes run to L3 and you can switch run from hold to run to toggle to run, so you can just click L3 to run. So they are complaining about something as if it isn't there when it totally is. I personally prefer the standard controls in the context of RDR2, though in a regular shooter I'd probably dislike it.

100 meters is a bit over 328 feet, so the gnome's ability is even more amazing than you saying, Kyle(you said "100 feet" at one point)

Can’t wait to hear you guys talk about Deltarune next week

Dude Ian's skin looks really good 👍

Funny to think in about 30 years they’ll make PS4 classic and it will all be treats lmao PS4 Classic list: Infamous Second Son Knack2 Bloodborne God of War Last of Us 2 Ghost of Tsushima GT Sport Gravity 2 Horizon Zero Dawn Uncharted 4 Spider-Man Persona 5 MLB 20 (Future title) (Surprise reveals)

The collector's box doesn't include the game I believe.

I fully appreciate all of your disbelief regarding cloud computing as there has been a history of over-promising and under-delivering on this topic. However, you are all (Kyle's comments somewhat less so) underappreciating the implications. The implications being, one: drastic reduction in the initial cost of a console. To have a streaming box, all you need is an internet ready device with a controller and AV output, with minimal other computing power. To get a level of graphical fidelity that surpasses the most high-end computers existing right now, you will need minimally expensive hardware, because all the horsepower is on a sever. Of course there will be subscription fees, but the initial cost of a console purchase should drop massively. Second: graphical fidelity. With your (relatively) cheap streaming box, you won't have access to "good" graphics, you will have access to the best graphics. But not just the best, the most modern. On a conventional console, your graphical horsepower is fixed at the date it is built, but when you are using cloud computing, as long as the server side hardware is periodically updated, it will likely be equivalent to running the best PC rig at any given point, but of course, without that massive cost to a gamer of buying a new graphics card or processor. Third: streamlining and optimization. There is a reason Apple products perform so well even in the cases that the Android hardware is superior. The reason is that the software is perfect optimized for the hardware because Apple knows the exact hardware specifications that the software will be used on. The same is true with respect to how good console games can look towards the end of a life cycle. If you are developing PC games, you don't know the specific hardware that an end-user will ... use. With cloud computing, a developer will know exactly what hardware that the cloud server is using and will be able to optimize specifically to perform best on that service. Most gamer's do not have access to the highest end rigs at any one point. They have a snapshot of the best graphical fidelity at a given time, and unless they are investing significant money into staying up to date with new hardware as it is released, they are swimming upstream. With consoles, this is even more salient, as the hardware stays largely the same until a new generation is released. Cloud computing could allow any gamer on the platform to have the highest graphical fidelity feasible at any one point in time. Obviously there are caveats, the most obvious one being connection speed, but yeah, just some thoughts on the massive potential (and inevitable) upsides.
