Why couldn’t we get this pinned to the wall

[@darthmarth87]

I am 100% guilty of being the "i was gonna say" guy and I've never felt more called out it my life 🙃

[@MJSHappy]

Right? This is going to haunt me forever

[@austinkeller7171]

It depends how you use it. Maybe more accurate would be to use. "I was waiting to tell someone"

[@Ayoul]

I was gonna say "darthmarth87 is the I was gonna say guy".

[@idrago01]

same here

[@plufim]

OH NO I MIGHT ALSO BE THE GUY

[@joshuacameron5333]

The line about Returnal being risky and the headline is the Playstation empire have problems because of not wanting to take risks, “it’s cool that they can do both” got an audible laugh. Great work.

[@LEGIT_ELITE]

The bonus segments are becoming their own videos at this point.

[@pseudoleviathan]

AcidTrip69: "How come you don't do bonus bits at the end of your show no more" Bosman: "C'mon kid nobody cares about those." AcidTrip69: "Yeah, but you do don't you?" 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@InnerRise]

@@pseudoleviathan oh my god

[@LetsChat]

(SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON WE'RE ALL HERE.)

[@of-Rivia]

I was gonna say, they are pretty long segments.

[@LEGIT_ELITE]

@@of-Rivia not complaining

[@maquinadotempo1955]

I’ve been wanting a Final Bosman type of show since forever and Delayed Input has that feel while being something entirely new and fresh! Please Kyle, never stop creating and putting your ideas to the world!

[@chuckwhite7941]

I think it's so funny in one of his final bosman episodes he removes the background music for five seconds to show how weird it is, and now his entire new series is like that 😆

[@maquinadotempo1955]

I remember that haha! But he got rhythm in his speech now so no bg music is required!

[@danielmichaelgarcia]

Is Kyle actively going for the “80s family photo shoot” with that backdrop and his continued fashion choices? If so, it’s working a treat.

[@d2wud266]

I was gunna say that looks like a ‘old school’ photoshoot…hahe heha

[@InnerRise]

I dont think it's intentional 😞

[@The_RedVIII]

Yeah, I love that Kyle is back and what he does here, but to be honest, that background is ugly. XD

[@Jeff__Taylor]

LOL.. I graduated high school in 1983 and pretty sure that was the background on my Senior Pictures

[@LE0NSKA]

@@d2wud266 see what you did there

[@rickywinterborn]

there's a shitload of gamer youtubers, you manage to be unique, good job

[@roastpork5437]

You don't know this guy? Lol...

[@LE0NSKA]

always has been. I don't think he's even trying.I truly believe that's just mostly how he is

[@mr_sweez]

Thank god... I thought the sweater warning was going to be that Kyle wasn't wearing a sweater. All is right in the world

[@mikhail2736]

I am guilty of just saying the words "I was gonna say..." And then following it up with absolutely nothing because I realized that it is pointless to say what I was gonna say.

[@fabiofabiobio]

No Shrek reference this week. I'm ogreflowing with rage.

[@TheKavernacle]

Kyle - Tetris 99 is a successful Battle Royale! I know you are a Tetris purist but I feel this deserves some recognition :D (es tut mir leid)

[@Kango234]

See this is why I loved the Final Bosman. I can't think of any other gaming channel that will take a look at something they dismissed and actually go back and do research on how it got there. One if my favorite episodes of the Easy Allies podcast is when he went to look at the history of Spyro instead of writing it off as a Mario clone like so many others.

[@kirion111]

Returnal is gonna win the game award of the year 2021 i really don't see any other games coming out better than this

[@billybadass7718]

A sweater warning? 😂 I just discovered this guy. He’s fantastic. It’s like finding a diamond in a hill made of shit.

[@Dashx64]

he had an aweome show back in the day, so happy hes back

[@LE0NSKA]

The Final Bosman, if you wanna more. it's old, but it's not dated I think. (some topics probably are, naturally, but not all)

[@acuity1980]

Also: Box peek

[@UnfinishedWorkz]

I love reading comments like these of new people finding Kyle. This dude has been something else since even the gametrailers days. Excited to see he’s back.

[@rowegardner9673]

He’s heating up! The comedy is on point. Love the confidence and energy in this episode. Great editing also. Keep it up, dude.

[@PEHfinale]

I was gonna say . . . The game title you're looking for is Materfall. *pats self on back*

[@adam_roman]

How does Kyle know I watch this weekly in bed with the lights off while my lover isn't paying attention? Is Kaitlyn spying on us???

[@DavidAniki]

How many sweaters does Kyle own? Let's find out! Episode 1 - Black cable knit sweater Episode 2 - Cream colored sweater Episode 3 - Red sweater Episode 4 - Red and dark grey color block sweater with black and grey stripes Episode 5 - VERY White Sweater

[@sergiodbd]

Good to see you again 🤝🤝 Totally didn’t search for this comment 👀😂😂

[@svenvanlathem7003]

Absolutely ADORED Returnal. The Housemarque gameplay is finetuned to perfection

[@RickGenis]

I was gonna say Returnal is good!

[@dereka415]

I am really enjoying Returnal too. The atmosphere and movement is so good. Wish I had more time and didn't share the PS5 with someone.

[@skyedogg]

My "I was gonna say" is I knew Returnal was going to be excellent from their first reveal of it. Everyone else was like meh. But I knew!!

[@Hedgeyy]

The shivers you got from the gameplay reveal. I got you. (for posterity returnal is on my fantasy critic team)

[@skyedogg]

@@Hedgeyy Thank you bro!

[@pse2020]

seeing as returnal is almost alien nation but in 3rdperson AAA version of it... i also saw it was going to be good.

[@MikeZeroX]

*I was gonna say Kyle, you're a really nice guy and I appreciate your existence.*

[@JazGalaxy]

You don’t really know that. I mean, I’m not saying he’s not. I’m just saying, if you only know what we know as Internet people, you can’t really know that.

[@DrWiley-fm3ik]

Love this show more than anything else out right now

[@RESRetro]

Loving this new series and format Kyle, your original style has always been an inspiration to me, and has motivated me to try more experimental ideas and not just follow popular creative trends keep up the great work!

[@knleonhart]

Me: Damn!! You mean I gotta change the name of my game, BigBoyFall? You: I was gonna say, big boy slip is a popular catchphrase in the Easy Allies community.

[@quiet451]

I was gonna say, Returnal IS definitely one of the more prominent games.

[@joshtate477]

I was gonna say, Returnal looks pretty good.

[@GrownManPat]

LOL

[@printw7307]

I totally agree. Housemarque knocked it out of the park. I love the show Bosman! Thank you man!

[@DARKDEATHKILLER]

Returnal was going to be my "I'll play it while I wait for RE8" game, but I ended up liking it WAY more than RE8 and it's now my GOTY contender. Such a unique and unapologetic game. I have very high hopes for Housemarques next game.

[@MagicCheezeBunnz]

Outro song is an absolute banger every single time 🤟🤟🤟

[@RickGenis]

I was gonna say that's a good song!

[@guithegood87]

I not in bed but my lover is watching some tv show here, so thats is accurate.

[@sh4rky70]

If you look at Hi-Rez studios and their game history, they are the epitome of "I was gonna say." They even jumped into the MOBA market late.

[@Ahlgreenz]

Sadly yeah. I loved their first game, Global Agenda, which was a very original MMO

[@lystic9392]

Man, their Tribes:Ascend game was awesome. Number 1 CTF game. I hope they get their heads back together.

[@strawman3030]

I actually thought paladins was the superior game to overwatch simple because of the card ability system which allowed you to really customise each character depending on your taste and the map.

[@mi2-c035]

Paladins is massively underrated, it does so many things better than Overwatch while being F2P but the industry was too quick on calling it a clone.

[@moshhammer666]

First true next gen expierience with Returnal. Such a fantastic game and i hope they go bigger and more metroid-vania with a sequel.

[@TorQueMoD]

God, I love having you back on a regular basis Kyle. I know you were on twitch, but I can't always catch your streams, so it's nice to have something I can watch on my own time!

[@hsapin]

This is just brilliant content. Kyle is a genius.

[@d_shuffles]

Why is this becoming my favorite KZbin video to look forward to each week now?

[@Grogeous_Maximus]

... Because they're really good videos?

[@clausewitzianwar]

PS4->PS5 $60->$70 That's 25% more PS for only 16% more $, what a bargain!

[@GameNGain]

So glad you are making videos again ❤️

[@KingDonWahed]

Man I love this format. Crazy I just have found this channel. I was a fan of him on Easy Allies and I always have figured he is the mind and creativity of EA. Subbed

[@timmyp53]

Returnal is Metroid-souls-arcade-shooter perfection. Sony needs to buy housemarquee as their team is almost 100 people. They could be a huge grab.

[@lew_reed]

i was gonna say... thats a bright ol sweater

[@guidohywuler9916]

Love the episodes, Kyle. You're getting really good at this. Thanks man.

[@FLARE0415]

Kyle you inspired me to learn the magic of improv. Thank you for all that you do man. Your perspective on the videogame industry is unique, funny, and compelling!

[@drunkinmonk1991]

I'm looking forward to you unboxing that box in a year.

[@WesleyFiles]

The beginning is calling out Damiani for sure.

[@tuliobednarczukpecinemisko5606]

Returnal is a game I'm very hyped for!

[@arijan-itanmuratovic7495]

If you go and watch Sormdivers gameplay you can see that Returnal uses the a lot of elements from that project. So i have to be thankful in a way that they decided to mess with the battle royal formula because that led to Returnal being made.

[@pablofmc]

Keep on doing this, kyle, you're amazing. Btw been following your content since the playstation do's and don'ts back in GT

[@silk3sm00th]

Hard agree on all the things. I always thought Housemarque talents were wasted in the 2d space - really fuckin loving the result of them breaking out of it for a change.

[@Richie_Godsil]

_Baby, I don't want to talk about this_ is the final form of _Well, you're the one who started this conversation!!!_

[@HereForTheComments]

Jesus how I watched this religiously in the early to mid 2010s. Bosman, Pach-Attack, other stuff on GameTrailers, all part of a balanced E3 hype.

[@PixelPusher1]

'Returnal' is also the title of my favorite Oneohtrix Point Never album! Trippy Juno synth arpeggiations, a genre called kosmische which means *cosmic,* it actually suits the game!

[@fysean]

I love how many little references to things they put in. So much love and care and passion for art and games and music.

[@duncanself5111]

I love the Dark Sci-fi aesthetics of Returnal. The gameplay looks tight and fun and the audio design seems really immersive. With this, Rachet and Clank and now Horizon Forbidden West I'm really excited about getting my hands on a dualsense and firing up a my new PS5 in the near future

[@itsameyoshio]

I'm on about 80 hours in Returnal, it's just amazing... I don't particularly like hard games either. But the way they weaved the narrative into the genre and how it sparks debate about what is happening... it's just a masterpiece imo. I hope the sales reflect that.

[@chuckwhite7941]

I vote you change the show name to "Delayed input fall"

[@ozy667]

100% agree about the roguelikes, in the end the progress that you do keep can be necessary through balancing in the difficulty, like skul or dead cells.

[@CompleteAnimation]

Baby I Don't Want To Talk About This is an amazing segment.

[@HylianTicipated]

Arcade was never dead! I've been team Roguelike day 0, baybee. Kyle Bosman when are you hitting up the Improv Store. You know, I was gonna say... Stellar show, man.

[@avisian8063]

Arcade was dead because producers were sold on the idea that it was dead. So finding cash was hard af. In the 2010s it all clammed up cos all the investors were 200% convinced that the next gen of games consoles would crash and burn cos people all had phones now.

[@tipoomaster]

Gonna make a video game named Bosmanfall

[@darthmarth87]

Call it BosFall and it be an endless boss rush game, might just work actually

[@syferz]

Tetris and pacman 99 are well received battle royal games

[@emmanuelatti86]

I've played Outland, Dead Nation, Resogun, Alienation, Nex Machina and Matter Fall so I expected Returnal to be good but I never expected it to be this good. I'm over 80hrs of playtime and I have unlocked the secret ending already but I just can't stop playing it. I hope the game gets a DLC with new areas, enemies and weapons.

[@vinzig5036]

Great video! So happy returnal exists

[@rinaldus4512]

Holy shit. As someone who plays his PlayStation Vita every other night in bed while my fiance is falling asleep and am super conscious of the brightness of my handheld's screen, the first 20 seconds of this video really spoke to me.

[@donthecrab]

you magical wizard man

[@GeorgeNoiseless]

You can't just go "I'm NOT going to quibble about Like vs Lite" and drop Fall Guys and Tetris 99 out of the Battle Royale conversation, Kyle :) Good talk!

[@Stormcrownn]

Thank you for the sweater warning.

[@julespleeswoah859]

I was going to say that. :/

[@emperorznb]

Proud to give myself a pat on the back for remembering Matterfall before Kyle could find the name

[@ScarfKat]

i gotta award Housemarque with the greatest honor: Best in the Biz

[@ProGamingN00b]

I do watch these in bed, with the lights off, my boyfriend not paying attention. But today I'm visiting home and in my own bed. White sweaters welcome!

[@sator_project]

Returnal is when someone announces they're leaving facebook, and you learn years later that somehow led to them marrying a gorgeous millionaire.

[@AmirGameShow]

This is kyle at its peak! oh no... he is just starting! BOOM!

[@Bynoe]

On the subject of the conversation we don't wanna have... so next gen games have bumped up from $60 to $70, that sucks. They have gone from £40-45 ($56-63) to £70 ($99). That is a steep assed increase up to what I think is an unreasonable price point. I am actually really interested in Returnal but I'm having a hard time bringing myself to buy it, not because I don't have the money, but because it feels wrong spending that much money on one game on principal, and I don't want to accept that £70 is going to be the new standard... but it seems next-gen games are selling just fine here despite that price hike so it's a pill I'm probably gonna have to swallow sooner or later.

[@burningjulynight]

I'm in the same boat. Games industry has a wider audience now and it definitely feels like companies that are doing great are price hiking 10%+ just because. The process to make a game has gotten longer, but so many processes have been simplified as well. When compared to Disney/Marvel debuting hit after box office hit at the usual theatre ticket price, the $70 move boggles my mind. These games are PS5 exclusive on purpose and it still could have been ported to a wider audience on PS4.

[@MattoUchiha]

Yeah, and it's especially jarring since the last few years I've avoided buying most games at release because of bugs and just thinking I might as well wait for updates/dlc while also getting it for cheaper in sales or just natural price drop. So now just having bought a PS5 I'm sitting here with no actual PS5 games because I couldn't bring myself to spend what is NZ$130 for Demon's Souls lol. The first thing I'm actually gonna be buying that's PS5-exclusive will be the FF7R dlc haha.

[@ds90seph]

I did some playtesting for Stormdivers a while back and I have to say - It *really* never had a chance. I knew from the moment I tried it that it would be dead in the water, much like a lot of multiplayer projects that have released in the last decade to little fanfare. As such, Returnal is and was the greatest possible outcome by comparison.

[@FelixWalton]

ive been waiting for you to bring up housemarque and that blog post from 2017 (i remember when y'all were talking about it on the easy allies podcast)

[@ingenuk4266]

Amazing you explained my viewing situation exactly. More evidence of living in a simulation.

[@FrameLoss]

Great video. The evolution of HM is really a cool story.

[@magic3383]

The "I was gonna say" thing is Robin Quivers's whole gimmick.

[@Glux247]

It's 1:30 in the morning right now, the intro was speaking DIRECTLY TO ME.

[@logic_error]

A few years ago I became hyper aware of my habit of doing the "I was gonna say" thing, so this video just hit me like a punch to the face.

[@rudeboyspodcast]

I felt for a long time watching Stormdivers development that Housemarque was making a huge mistake and that game was going to kill their company, which is a damn shame because I believed they could make decent games if they had freedom and some money to roll in. Sony threw them a bone and may have saved their company, but until it comes to PC, I'm stuck unable to play it because I can't get a PS5 :( EDIT: IT'S OUT ON PC AND IT'S FUCKING GREAT

[@RetroLinkF1]

Loved this episode, Kyle :)

[@flembrane5265]

"I was gonna say" means that I was about to say the same thing but you said it way better than I could've.

[@mattb1]

This is a very good episode. Thanks Kyle.

[@franklinbrooksstoppedcomme3267]

I find that 'Arcade is Dead' article title pretty ironic for me, knowing 2017 was probably the time I played the most at actual arcades in the past 5 years.

[@Crusader_0893]

Looks fluffy, but the sleeves are too simple. 8/10

[@aronsch]

I thought the analogy was super funny and spot on. I'm not sure how much of these a scripted but the un-scripted and candid nature of these are so good!

[@TheGuitarus]

So glad you're back brother. Now, please convince Marcus Beer to come back too lol.

[@giga4876]

This is Kyle Freaking Bosman, how is there not a 1 to 1 view-to-like ratio? Lets get our crud together guys!

[@mucknstrunz]

the intro is gold and completley true

[@ztyphoon8982]

“Don’t ever unbox this box.” You mean we can’t even take a peek?

[@Perkustin]

I believe the reason certain people are picky about Roguelike/Roguelite is that Roguelike is a much older term, referring to games that came out around the same time as the original pretty much copying it, one could argue that it's like calling a modern fps a 'doom clone'. I wouldn't argue this, 'doom clone' never had much traction even at the time, by 1996 it was dead. Roguelike is also still a pretty narrow subset already, it's not like it's referring to Streets of Rage and Mario as Sidescrollers.

[@Bones_]

The only time I find myself using "I was gonna say" is as a standalone statement in response to someone realizing something that seemed obvious or is important. Like if somebody goes "wait what am I doing, my appointment is tomorrow" I'll then respond with "good, cause I was gonna say" and that's it. Does this still make me that guy? Oh and Returnal is great. GOTY as of now.

[@saintyoo]

An offering for the youtube algorithm

[@TheBroganBurke]

we have 55" tv, so that warning was spot on -- thank you

[@vypermajik]

Excellent show sir

[@magnusalexander2965]

I genuinely thought "I was gonna say" would be applied to the second, third and fourth run in Roguelikes, like "it was fun the first time, but the same damn thing over and over?", but it went a different way

Gotta be real I couldn't pay attention to any of the Returnal conversation because I was having a small crisis as someone who does occasionally say "I was gonna say"

Man, I wish you'd've done this show with the Allies... Simply because this is you at your best.
