“And things of that nature” -Barret Courtney 2023

[@jonbotwesley]

Barrett “Things of that Nature” Courtney 🙌

[@kennybutterman]

That’s why they call him Barrett “and things of that nature” Courtney

[@TobyRawal]

Can’t wait to play Jedi Survivor and things of that nature

[@realrobrose]

Its that thing where I like Barrett and things of that nature.

[@AAAJ93]

Barret “and things of that nature” Courtney

[@NathanNeilsen]

Before I watched this preview I was always wondering what nature the things would be of. Not anymore! Thanks heaps 😂💙

[@NathanNeilsen]

Keen to give Jedi: Side Adventures a crack!

[@TrimblyWimbly]

Love that Barrett got to do this preview. I am so hyped for Survivor

[@lebraunnewkirk2765]

He likes doing previews and things of that nature.

[@aoe41015]

Honestly the best person to preview a Star Wars game.

[@furrybproductions]

Just the person for the job

[@graememowat2322]

I don't really check the comments before starting the video, but at around 42 minutes I decided to check and see if anyone else had picked up on the 'things of that nature'... My god I was not disappointed!

[@Jaws1015]

Same!! I'm at minute 43 I had to stop and check as well. I believe Barrett has set a record, might even beat Greg "You know what I mean" Miller!!

[@matthewwalsh1468]

Things of That Nature Counter: 26 (this podcast is 55 mins. & 31 secs., so that's an average of 2.1153846154 "Things of That Nature's" per min.) - Side Note": At 25:04 we get 1: "Things of That...", at 37:32 we get 1: "Or Anything of That Nature", and at 51:46, we get one more: "Or Anything of That Nature". Lastly, we get 1: "Things Like That" at 51:52 😂

[@matthewwalsh1468]

And I hope Barrett knows that we're just busting his balls...it was a great ep. & a fantastic preview of the new SW game 😊

[@terranncegilmore]

I know I'm piling on here... But I walked away for a day and came back and holy shit with the Things of that Nature.

[@olischues]

Man I won’t have the time to put into this game, especially with TotK coming less than a month after it releases. I’m happy that Barrett was able to preview this! Maybe I’ll catch it later this year. Alongside TotK and Spider-Man 2, this is one of my most anticipated games.

[@DemonKrem726]

Oh god I can tell this is going to be way more nerdy Star Wars information preview than I need

[@sherpawhale]

Good preview from Barrett. Cautious optimism and hope from him as someone who really loved the first.

[@mojotheclown82]

Really enjoyed this, great job Barrett!

[@hoaaaaaaaaable]

The stance with the lightsaber and blaster sounds awesome

[@SnakesRevenge-rj2fs]

This game sounds great and you guys helped raise my hype level. Can’t wait!

[@coreycasciano3255]

Finally customization is better, a full beard is gonna be my go to 🔥🔥🔥 My excitement just went up even more, mad hyped now

[@Kmaitland89]

Great preview! So excited for this game!

[@meegrob]

KF drinking game; take a shot every time Barret says “things of that nature”

[@davidjakeemery4187]

I'm smashed 15 minutes in

[@Mayorofsexytown1303]

Love the Bioshock backdrop! Very excited for this game!

[@mc_dgames]

5:10 Greg Trying To sneak in Jeezy Creasey in his everyday vocabulary is HILARIOUS Been listening since 2017 This Is Probably his 2nd Time Saying it EVER (if you know you know)

[@Prandur79]

Good summary. Nice job Barrett!

[@Itszerge]

Perfect time. Just now making my coffee and about to walk my dog

[@thepews1511]

Just got on to my job site. Love it when it all lines up.

[@telephones3]

Sounds like a good day

[@SciFlyZ]

Fantastic cast and info, Thank you

[@dominicorlando190]

great work Barrett, thanks for the preview!

[@jhavelochjones]

Perfect timing 😎

[@SaiyanABlazeNinja]

Nick needs to do a playthrough of this just for the Mullet!

[@joelou]

My Star Wars game is Squadrons on PS4. Playing that in a cockpit with HOTAS and PSVR will always be one of my favorite gaming experiences ever. I wish they would port it to PSVR2.

[@maddoggnick96]

This is KFG Vol. 2, Episode 172 (Episode 424 overall)

[@LukeMiloDesign]

Customization hype! That was one of my biggest gripes with the first game - I just looked so lame throughout the whole game. I hope there are more ninja-esque/ Jedi vibes with like robes or cloaks.

[@17Haru17]

So excited for another 3D metroidvanian game at long last! I wonder if they'll have a few temples again now that Zelda's stopped doing them.

[@mitchkrassin]

I'm totally going to make a Ted Lasso Cal.

[@bvick22]

A Jedi with a mullet... I can die happy now😂🤟

[@mr.irrelevent8956]

I hope at some point in this game you get an outfit like Anakin or Obi wans in episode 3

[@Llouc]

Amazing job reporting this preview Barrett!! You got me so hyped for this game!!

[@tdm281995]

Just preorder my copy of Jedi survivor

[@lebraunnewkirk2765]

Things of that nature?

[@jonbotwesley]

Lmao

[@Steve-ct5xg]

omg thank you lol

[@jonasking3670]

This is how broken my brain is. Anytime someone says the name of the droid my brain yells "B D Wong!"

[@markheath14]

Barrett making me spit my drink not even 5 min in

[@KBABZ]

3:35 It's Star Wars game or Bullshit! Is it a Star Wars game or Bullshit? Barrett's gonna say some stuff and we'll figure if it's a Star Wars game or not. BAR-RET COURT-NEY!

[@jeremyvisser3877]

The only Star Wars games I've play are the KOTOR games, I'm not a traditional Star Wars fan so I was sold on the RPG gameplay and had no idea what was happening but they're still all timers to me.

[@blueapple007]

Diggin the turtle neck look Blessing!

[@oldmanstrolseeyt2121]

Barret gotta work on his phrasing and things of that nature😂😋

[@jonbotwesley]

Probably just a little nervous or something of that nature.

[@oldmanstrolseeyt2121]

@Jonathan Robinson Oh definitely! He's not normally on cam. Good to see him on though!

[@Max-yr7eg]

To be fair, they could all work on their phrasing. Blessing has his "oh man" or "hey man", and Greg has his "yada yada yada".

[@jonbotwesley]

@@Max-yr7eg Yeah like Greg and Blessing constantly say, “That thing of….”, when describing something. If you haven’t noticed watch out for it, it’s constant 😂

[@relaxedinmymind]

​@@oldmanstrolseeyt2121 got the hat off

[@MyLifeIsPaul]

Had the same shirt as Barrett! Rip cause idk what happened to it! Haha

[@danielalonso4662]

Blaster stance looking like Bloodborne inspired, LFG

[@sadboycolor]

Crab Rangoon

[@Overthinka]

The style of gameplay exploration they have here is called wide linear. Noticed they couldn’t find a word for it.

[@StefanRees]

Blessing looking freshhhhhh

[@chriswinslow8969]

Barrett is a good previewer for games like this! Star Wars, Zelda, things of that nature!

[@Delta_D]

He's a fake fan!

[@koefodicusxvii]

Maybe to get blessing to play kinda feudy make one episode wholly community driven

[@teahaze]

I'm slightly disappointed the "squeeze through a crevice in the rocks as a loading screen" gimmick still exists in these modern day sequels years into the ps5/series x era

[@Delta_D]

Colin was right!

[@batboy.8064]

9:55 he says cal and BB 8😭

[@LukeMiloDesign]

Barret is one of my favorite Kinda Funny crew. It’s always nice when he’s on mainline content. I know he’s needed back in the producer chair most of the time, but the more we can have him on camera the better ❤

[@lithographer]

kotor 1 and 2

[@TwistedIrish1]

Star wars straight up stole chocobos 😅😂

[@JTsavage7577]

I really enjoy seeing Barret on the content, especially when it's something he really cares about. Doing a great job!

[@thepews1511]

If Fallen Order is iterative (which I don't see as a bad thing at all) will it receive the same critique as HFW? Imo HFW is exactly what Barrett said about Survivor all the things that I liked about Zero Dawn but bigger and better I'm not asking this to pit the games against each other I just want to know if there's a material difference or if it just comes down to preference (which is fine)

[@NM-sb9co]

horizon usually gets shit beacuse it came out next to elden ring and zelda so you cant really compare unless star wars has a greatest of all time level game next to it.

[@dps0610]

I think if you go back and listen to them talk about the first game, they had a ton of issues with it. I actually think these franchises are more similar in terms of good but not great - and a ton of really weird problems - than they are to games they’re compared to (especially Horizon with its open world release buddies).

[@thepews1511]

@@NM-sb9co Well the team did a podcast recently about HFW a year later and their complaints about the game proper were along the lines of "Horizon is too bog standard of an Open World game for its own good." Something I heavily disagree with. I wanted to see where (if at all) the team saw Survivor as different or where it might excite them more than Horizon does. Could be as easy as the star wars setting could be more I'm just curious.

[@thepews1511]

@@dps0610 that's kind of what I mean it seems they're very comparable franchises and with Survivor trying to do what Forbidden West did as far as take what works and iterate in an open world setting I want to know their thoughts. I feel like journalist are over open World games as a whole so I'd like to see where the differences between that and this are.

[@dps0610]

@@thepews1511 for sure. Open world is a dirty word for me. So many of them are just check boxes or not rewarding. I’d love to hear more on the differences as well.

[@noonitubes8457]

[@DanGBCB]

Barrett’s haircut is 🔥🔥🔥

[@spencercorpuz]

It doesn't quite sound like the map has changed that much. I was kind of hoping for a complete overhaul. I DNF'd the other one because the map was too much of a clusterfuck, and the map they showed here doesn't look much different.

[@17Haru17]

It's a metroidvanian game like Metroid Prime or Ocarina of Time. You might not enjoy it, but the level design provides a much deeper experience for those who do.

[@spencercorpuz]

@@17Haru17 since when is ocarina of time a metroidvanian?

[@spencercorpuz]

@@17Haru17 and by map I didn't mean the areas you play it (the levels) I meant the mini map you use to navigate

[@captainpackage7]

Very interested to see if Greg's opinion has changed on the first one if he revisits it. Personally I disliked the first game and was so confused by its praise.

[@dps0610]

There was a great game there, but went back and played it again the other day, and it feels a lot worse than I remembered it feeling. I remember having issues, but I did not want to continue my second play through.

[@zorth__]

okay blessing outfit S tier

[@iceman8801]

Things of that nature ..

[@SRTPOWER392]

This isn’t a dig at Barrett by any means but as a games industry, can people say current gen or PS5 and Series X & S consoles at this point? It’s almost been three years since the new consoles were released

[@Kmaitland89]

I've read your comment 4 times now and still don't understand what you are asking.

[@syre1518]

@@Kmaitland89 I think he doesn't want people calling ps5 and series x consoles "next-gen" anymore

[@iansavino]

Throughout the industry this has always been a thing of contention. More and more games are still being released on PS4/Xbox so I would bet it won’t be locked in as current gen fully till next year. Most of my friends still play on PS4 anyway because they can’t afford PS5, so it also depends on the wealth of the community

[@dps0610]

Current gen would be gens supported, and right now there are just too many supported platforms. Next-Gen is still needed when discussing something only on the PS5/Xbox Series consoles.

[@SRTPOWER392]

@@syre1518 That’s exactly what I meant

[@Kyloki87]

Wonder if single Saber stance enhances your force offhand power..? If not, I don't know why you wouldn't want two sabers. After hearing more, I think this continuing trend of comparing everything to Souls is so lazy and is making it meaningless. FYI Bless.

[@mecharobots]

Current gen and one of the first things in the b-roll is a crack to crawl through !

[@wgo523]

It's just part of game design, it's not gonna just disappear

[@Parkesview]

I know for a lot of people the idea of the game being more souls like is a good thing, but its honestly off-putting for me. I hope it doesn't go too far

[@Parkesview]

@dragonsneedtobereal its not necessarily about the combat gameplay, its about the encounter design.

[@Parkesview]

@@dragonsneedtobereal combat mechanics and encounter design are similar fields, but not the same.

[@midoriak1240]

2:13 And this is the why there has been no growth with Kinda funny... Keep that divisive drivel out of your shows and just focus on talking about video games.
