EVERYONE leaves this out when talking about World Tendency: black tendency makes it harder, but you also get more souls and better drop rates. When farming for upgrade materials or souls, black is preferred.

[@SubjectiveObserver]

Aren't there two levels of tendency? I vaguely remember a local tendency based on your singleplayer gameplay and a global tendency based on everybody's collective gameplay. I'm afraid all miss out on something if people stop playing by the time I finally get around to it.

[@paolocosejo4202]

@@SubjectiveObserver If I'm not mistaken -- it's been a decade -- when starting a game online, a world's tendency would begin at whatever the average tendency was at the time. Also "global tendency" might refer to how the publisher changed everyone's WT on holidays? Oh those good old days of discovery; I remember adding things to wikidot.

[@philngood5955]

@@SubjectiveObserver in the original, there was black tendency and pure white tendency i believe

If you hit the options button over a game you can select which version, PS4 or PS5, that you want to launch.

PS5 controller is phenomenal. Now we just need either back paddles, or scuff to make a PS5 controller.

[@quentincompson5746]

100% I was surprised by the takes about the adaptive triggers and Hanson preferring the PS4. To each their own, though.

The Oregon Trail documentary was great Ben! It's a shame it has yet to be discovered by a larger audience

[@minnmax]

Hey thanks so much!

[@David-uc6sg]

Grabbed The Pathless the other day from Iam8bit and used your code. Thanks for the savings!

[@minnmax]

Perfect, thanks for doing it right!

That guy in the lower right corner for the first half was really good.

[@DragonLord1103]

I suggest a Deepest Dive of AC Valhalla..would be great to see a discussion about the game and story and so on.

[@LexTreefrog]

It’s weird to think that bluepoint probably used the throwback areas in DS3 as inspiration for how they refreshed the equivalent areas in DeS

58:09 Kameo is an EXCELLENT game and deserves to be remembered as such. Anybody who represents Banjo-Kazooie as a great game (and I have know idea what Suriel's feelings are about Banjo-Kazooie, I'm speaking generally) that holds up today has no business skipping Kameo or giving it flack. So there. I happen to get a little worked up about the way Kameo is represented because it's a game I love, thank you for giving me your time. Oh, and Banjo-Kazooie is a perfectly good game to play today, especially on Rare Replay where the game actually remembers the collectables you've gathered in a stage and doesn't force you to get them all in a single go. Thank you.

[@IanTClark]

I love how you left in the “I haven’t had a baby.” Crash. I thought for sure it would have been lost to the backstage pass.

Hanson's camera is so good he almost looks like he's CG. You would have to convince me he's not a hyper realistic 3D model.

You made me.

Me, my brother and my friend all started playing destiny for the first time last week and the beginning is a little convoluted but once we got to the tower it all clicked and we are all in

[@rickywinterborn]

im an animator and made lots of short films and shit, and that hope before hand of will this pop off/go viral was something that took years to shake. its important to make creative stuff that you just keep thinking about and have to manifest. creating something with the intention/hope that will go viral will almost never work. oregon trail doc was dope tho! id love to see minnmax do more docs.

[@FBuilding]

I checked your website, cool stuff man. A friend of mine was a background artist on that croods show you worked on.

[@swordsandwolves]

Love everything you guys do, cannot agree about take on the Dualsense.

[@residentevilclone]

Piggybacking off the comment of PS5 crashes. I hooked mine up early morning on the 17th. Played Miles Morales for about an hour and got a hard crash during a cutscene. Did not boot me back to the Home Screen- outright full shut down. Couldn’t power back on for about 10-15 minutes. And then i got to watch my favorite screen from last gen, the “your console was not turned off properly” screen. Sat through the rebuild and restart, hopped right back in to the game where I left off. Still concerning.

[@fackos88]

I think I'm about to fight the boss Suriel mentioned at this very moment. If I'm correct about the fire ball guy and his barrels of fun!

[@loutronz4708]

I was looking forward to the Destiny takes. No info on how it runs on PS5 besides the loading. Did it not make the jump to 60fps @ 4k? If so, how is it???

[@jessebluespncr]

I haven’t touched it yet, but how you described Call of Duty sounds similar to Infinite Warfare. A hub with missions you can take in any order.

[@Jerler91]

Yes closing games and putting im rest mode is slightly more laborious (first world problems but still).

[@abrack_]

I guess Ben has bigger hands than me, my pinkies definitely don't wrap around all the way to the ridge on the DualSense, though I see how that could be a little annoying if they did.

[@dandon1968]

1:47:10 what are you talking about? did you play MGS3? Shadow of the Colossus? those games are beautiful on a CRT, better than many early PS3 games on an HDTV. the jump from PS2 to PS3 wasn't as big as you make it to be. also don't forget about UE5 tech demo, those tech are definitely a huge leap forward. it's up to the business people and developers how big of a leap they want to go from the previous generation. i think the huge install base of previous gen is indeed going to hinder that for now.

Since -AC: Origins (2016)- AC: Odyssey (2018), the series has become a bi-annual release. So the next entry (2022) will probably be PS5, Series X|S only. Really nit picky, I'm sorry

[@adamaxelsson7414]

Well, Origins was released 2017 and Odyssey was released 2018 actually.

[@_kaushin1540]

I played the original right before the PS5 version, and Demon's Souls overtook FFVII Remake for my GOTY. Sorry @BenHanson!

[@popblender]

I don't understand why it is such a hard sell to play an open world rpg lrhesw days. Everyone says "I don't think it's possible to play a game like that" or "those types of games just don't work nowadays". But, time is relative. There are only a few reasons why u wouldn't have the time to put into an open world rpg now compared to 4 years ago. If u don't have kids, and u don't have a job where u work 80 hours a week, or a girlfriend, then there is no REAL reason why u can't play a game u really like or want to play. We've been sold a false narrative that we have less time now for some reason. It's only because we buy into it with little or no reason to do so. The media keeps telling us we don't have any time, but in reality, we can make time of we WANT to. I think it's lazy to just say "I don't have time for an open world rpg anymore" if u are single, work from home, and can play whatever u want, whenever u want. Kind of like our hosts here.
