Game Show Format and Rules Explained
00:03:01
Speaker
episodes. They are a lot of fun. And as the master of games myself, I will be playing. I will be hosting these games. So we have Midnight versus James. Who's going to win?
00:03:12
Speaker
Nobody knows. um The way it's going to work today is we have three different games. So we have ah like it's kind of like a it's kind like a tennis match. we have ah We have like a game one, game two and game three. And like in each one, if you if you win one, you win a set. Basically, it's like tennis for those tennis fans out there. And then game three will need played if, let's say, Midnight wins game one and James wins game two.
00:03:39
Speaker
But we're going to get started right away with the first game, and that is called what we call the Pinpoint Challenge. now Last November, IGN, a very prolific gaming website. Yes, everyone's favorite. You know, the getting criticized for their mouse PI review.
00:03:58
Speaker
Released a list of the top 500 games of all time, according to Mathematics. And now i I did a little research and I found out they they took scores from all different websites. They didn't look at like Metacritic or anything. They just took a bunch of scores. They kind of just made a list of the 500 games based on Mathematics. So I took the top 100 of that list.
00:04:17
Speaker
And I have that list right here in front of me. And what James and Midnight are going to do, they're going to go back and forth. We're going start with Midnight because, you know, why not? We're to start with Midnight. And...
Pinpoint Challenge Begins
00:04:28
Speaker
um they're going to guess games. They're going to guess. And the closer to number 100 they get, the better. So if they get 100th game on the list, they'll get 100 points. If they get the number one game on the list, they'll only get number only at one point. Now, if they go over 100, they get no points. They get what we call an X. If you get five wrong, you're you're out.
00:04:52
Speaker
And we're going to until either get all 100 games or both of you are eliminated. Pretty much. so right Word on the street says, though, that X gonna give it to you.
00:05:04
Speaker
That is true. He's from Yonkers. Did you know he's from Yonkers? No. Yeah, he's from Yonkers, He's still around? wondering What he's doing today? No, DMX is dead, dude. Oh, he passed. That's right. Yeah, it was like three years ago. Rest in peace, DMX. Yeah, know. You're too busy listening to Iceman, right?

00:05:31
Speaker
Thanks to me. You're welcome. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, I'm the coolest guy on earth. I guarantee that student thought you were cooler because you knew that. Trust me Yeah, I'm not really ah not really proud of You don't care about that student's opinion? That student in general? No. Sean, what grade do you teach?
00:05:49
Speaker

00:06:01
Speaker
Oh my God, a new challenger has entered. And that is Don Otaku. He has joined us before. And he is five minutes late. It's fine now. Better late than never, as Drake would say.
00:06:13
Speaker
But never late is better. That's a really old song. Oh my God, that's a Drake song. um But yes, Don is bridge He's going to join the game show. And like I said, we're starting with a pinpoint challenge. Don has joined us before. This is his first time doing a pinpoint challenge. It's actually the first time anyone's done it on this ah on this show. He knows the rules. We explained it to him.
00:06:36
Speaker
And are we ready to go, guys? I'm ready. Yeah. yeah Did you like john let Don do his intro or? Does he have an intro or anything? Don is here. He's the host of many different podcasts. He's on the Weapon Wheel podcast.

Speaker
No, Dual Wheel. Dual Wheel podcast. My bad. Untitled Gaming podcast. I like that one. And he's appeared on ILP many times. um Yes. And most importantly, he's been on GOP like four times, I think.

Yes. We love having him. We're going have some fun today. And I'd also like to shout out that I am a writer for Lords of Game and.net. So definitely check out the articles and reviews that right over there.
00:07:21
Speaker
Yes, sir. All right. You guys ready to get started? Yes, sir. So here we go. Round one, the pinpoint challenge. The order is going to go. Midnight, James, Don, and then Don James. So we're going to we're going snake it basically. So James, you're always going to be in the middle. So.
00:07:39
Speaker
Let's take a look here. So first up, Midnight URF. Let's see if you can nail the 100th best game of all time, according to IGN. This is tough because there's yeah like it's 100 games. It's a lot. But when you think of how many games there are that have come out, it's really minuscule, right? There's been right tens of thousands, hundreds thousands games, right? But 100 games really stand out.
00:08:00
Speaker
Yeah, so I'm just trying to think. I'm trying to get a high one, but obviously I want something that's definitely on there, I would think. So I just, I don't know how far down the scale, like, you gotta think even like, you gotta to even think like the number 80 game is still gonna be a great game, right? It's not gonna be trash. So thinking can let me just go ahead. Let me just start off with like, I'm gonna say Bioshock Infinite, and let me see how far down that might be. Okay, Bioshock Infinite. I gotta get a feel for the scale, you know? Bioshock Infinite.
00:08:29
Speaker
Midnight. I'm sorry, but Bioshock Infinite is not on the list. That's pretty well. I'm walking out. That's an X. That's an X for Midnight. That's an X for Midnight. He's got an X right now, so we got one strike for Midnight. James, you're up.
00:08:45
Speaker
Give me the Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion. go so we got We're going Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion. that's not on there, this episode's over. because I'm going to do
00:08:58
Speaker
um like i which They could do it without me. yeah Oblivion, I'm sorry to say, this list. Oblivion was actually the 111th game Where was Infinite? Did you find it? Yes, Infinite was the 197th game. the hundred and eleventh game on the list okay okay where was where was infinite did you find it oh yes
Pinpoint Challenge Continues
00:09:15
Speaker
infinite was the hundred and ninety seventh game That's pretty crazy. See, see this is going to be tough because those are those are great games. You're getting a feel for it. We can scale up from there though, right?
00:09:30
Speaker
Yes, you scale up. Think about it. I'm going to say this. I will give you a little hint.
00:09:36
Speaker
Games in those series are on this list. both of those of Well, of course of course. I figured. We know that. all right we don't We don't need any hints from you, sir. Thank you, though. Dawn, you are up.
00:09:48
Speaker
All right. I think I'm going to go with... I have two from this series that I i think might be low hundreds, but... Or, like, in know in the top 100.
00:10:03
Speaker
I'm going to say... going to pick Assassin's Creed 2. who Assassin's Creed 2. Is that on this list? Let me see here. Let me see here. AC2. AC2.
00:10:19
Speaker
do do doooooo-oooooooo do did didter did that-oooo You just control F, Sean. Yeah, I'm not doing that. Sorry. Assassin's Creed 2.
00:10:31
Speaker
Unfortunately is not on the top 100. I'm sorry. and This is why we don't trust IGN. yeah This is why we don't trust IGN. I know Don, you're up again. okay we're sneaking. um Then I could just I gotta I want to just get in the list. So i gotta go a tried and true.
00:10:53
Speaker
gonna say Super
00:10:57
Speaker
Bros.
00:10:59
Speaker
mario bros
00:11:04
Speaker
OG. The original Super Mario Bros. The original Super Mario Bros. It's on here. It's definitely on. Where is the original Super Mario
00:11:17
Speaker
is number 37. So you get 37 points. That's way too high, but okay. Super Mario version. I don't think I would put it that high either. yeah I don't know. all right Maybe for nostalgia, but not 37 points. For impact on on the genre, of course. Yes, for sure. But game quality, nah.
00:11:38
Speaker
All right. So James, you are up. So Don is in the lead now with 37 points with Super Mario Bros. The 37th best game. no longer And all three of us have an X. So it's we're all tied there. Well, James. Well, I mean, Don's in the lead. Yeah, right, right, right.
00:12:00
Speaker
All right, James. your up Yeah. um
00:12:05
Speaker
I guess I don't.
00:12:09
Speaker
I'm going to go ahead and say this, and I think Midnight and I are going to be disappointed at where it ends up. Give me Skyrim. Ooh, I'm looking right at that game because had a feeling you were going to say it. It is the 18th game on the list. James, you have 18 points. It's number 18 on the list. Skyrim, number 18. No, terrible pick. That game's awful.
00:12:32
Speaker
to How dare you? Sean, get out. I hate Skyrim. Oh, wait, you're hosting. Damn it. I hate Skyrim. You didn't play Skyrim. I played for a little bit. If you would have played Skyrim within the window of time that it was out, you would have been like, this amazing. Although you were on PlayStation, though, and it was busted on PlayStation. I would have been like, this game is garbage. I'm done. The their CPU and their RAM system, it...
00:13:00
Speaker
it didn't compute with Sky. I was too busy playing at that time. Sometimes some Tales game and Batman. That was Auxilia two. problem No, Auxilia two came out in 2013. It was Auxilia one. yeah Yeah. Yeah. And then Batman Arkham city as well.
00:13:16
Speaker
Okay. All right. I'm going to go ahead and say it now, James. I'm to play off you. Bioshock one. Okay, Midnight. Bioshock 1 the best game.
00:13:28
Speaker
We've got 16 points. okay right We're on the board, boys. Let's go. We're all on the board. and then Midnight again, right? Yes, Midnight again. 16. Okay, okay. Alright, let's see.
00:13:42
Speaker
a Some pretty good games still left.
00:13:49
Speaker
No, not going to do that.
00:13:56
Speaker
Baldur's Gate 3. Okay, Baldur's Gate 3 is on this list. It is at number 25. Give
00:14:07
Speaker
give me the points, baby. So not you are now at... that's I think it should be higher than that. I think it should be in the top 10, personally. but I haven't played it. But based off of how based how people talked off of Baldur's Gate 3 when it went around, based off the review cycle, I would have expected it to be like top 10.
00:14:27
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, i if you're looking at the Metacritic scores, it would be in the top 10 of all time. but Because it was like 97, think. You played it? you you played it ah Uh, Don?
00:14:40
Speaker
Oh yeah. I played through it couple times. I have some nitpicks with it as a D&D player and also just as a like old school CRPG player, but, uh, it's, it's really good. I do feel like top 25 is perfect for it. It's really good.
00:14:58
Speaker
I definitely recommend it if people are into like RPGs, like narrative RPGs, it's got tons of choice and consequence, like lots of replayability, like you get to weave the story. I also like to say that like Wasteland three was the Baldur's Gate three before Baldur's Gate three and everyone slipped on that game.
00:15:19
Speaker
it had it did everything that Baldur's Gate three did for the genre. It's like AAA quality CRPG. The choices and consequences in that game were crazy. And you had the co-op aspect also, except that the co-op was actually better because you didn't have to stick together, you could all be doing completely different ah quests at the same time.
00:15:43
Speaker
And both characters felt like real characters instead of like, the main character being and like whoever starts the quest is the the main character and then the other guy gets relegated to nothing.
00:15:55
Speaker
But yeah. Play Wasteland 3. I love Wasteland 3 as well. I beat it too. By InXile. And um we're really excited for their next game, Clockwork Revolution. Can't wait for that.
00:16:06
Speaker
Sean, you looking forward to Clockwork Revolution? Yeah, I think it should be good. think it's going to be a good game. I will say, spoiler, Wasteland 3 is not on this list.
Conclusion of Pinpoint Challenge
00:16:16
Speaker
I figured I wasn't going to guess it. It's pretty buggy, and I feel like people slipped on it because of that.
00:16:21
Speaker
it's Yeah, it's it's kind of like a hidden gem. i don't I feel like a lot of people didn't play it. But anyway, James, I think you're up, sir. Yes, James is up. All right.
00:16:34
Speaker
um This is tough. Give me Grand Theft Auto 4. GTA 4 is on this list. And James, that's a great pick. You are at 74 big points, James, right there. 74 points.
00:16:53
Speaker
That is brings your score to a whopping 92,
00:17:00
Speaker
Nice. Wow. I think that's... a yes I'd probably have it in the top 50, but... I wouldn't even have it in my top 100. Worst or gta The worst? smile course The worst GTA Well, at least the 3D ones.
00:17:20
Speaker
oh Surely it's better than three right? Yes. i Yeah. I mean, GTA 3 has the impact, so I'll give it that because it was the first 3D one, but and I like GTA 4 story. I don't like anything else about GTA 4. I don't like how it feels. I don't like the gameplay. I don't like the so blurry world. it it looks so blurry sometimes. Yeah, when you're trying to drive like really quick. When you first start driving, yeah it takes a second for your eyes to adjust to like all the blur and stuff. Yeah.
00:17:54
Speaker
they They were doing too much on those old systems. I was a Saints Row 2 guy. Saints Row 2 was my game. But, alright, my pick.
00:18:07
Speaker
Alright, let's see. Which one do I want to do? I'm going to go with Super Smash Bros. Melee. Super Smash Bros. Melee is on this list. It is...
00:18:22
Speaker
Number 75. right after the 75 game, we got the number 75 game with Melee.
Introduction to Metacritic Draft Game
00:18:27
Speaker
And that is going to bring your score to a whopping 108. So you're at 108 points now, Don. And you have a chance. This will be a good wraparound if you get another great game on your list. That'll be a great wraparound for you.
00:18:40
Speaker
So Melee. Let's Great game. All right. um'm I'm just going to stick with Nintendo because if they're going to I know they're going to have plenty in this list.
00:18:54
Speaker
So with that, i think my next one I'm going to say. Let's
00:19:09
Speaker
Actually, I'm going outside of Nintendo. We're going to trust them. We're going to trust them. Valve. Left 4 Dead 2. Left 4 Dead 2. I think that's a good one.
00:19:22
Speaker
I'm sorry. That's not on this list. Left 4 Dead 2 or 1 is not on this list. I'll give everyone that. How dare they? But I will say there are some Valve games on there. Oh, yeah. I feel like the ones that I want to name would be way too high, though.
00:19:38
Speaker
Yeah. Hey, points are points, though, you know? Yep. All right. Um... Can i have, ah give me Halo 3. Halo 3. Oof. halo three oof Good one. Halo 3 is, oh my gosh, the number 73 game on the list. 73, 74, 75.
00:19:59
Speaker
All right. That's a great pick. I think that's i think it should be way higher than that. Halo 3 is the top 20. I would have expected it to be higher, but didn't make this list. But James, that's a great pick. You are now at highest.
00:20:13
Speaker
It's IGN. 100%. Xbox games are going to be lower. go for the Xbox games. That's a good point. James at 165. 165. Halo 3, what a great pick. What a great game in general.
00:20:27
Speaker
Yeah. Finish the fight. next
00:20:33
Speaker
Fuck, man. I don't know. um Super Mario Brothers 3. Super Mario Brothers 3 is on this list. Thank you.
00:20:45
Speaker
Please be high. It is the number 31 game. It's little bit higher than Super Mario Bros. 1. As it should be. It should be way higher, though. yeah she but yeah and I was shocked when I actually... It should be top 10. But that's 31 points for you. That's not terrible. So you're at 72 points now.
00:21:03
Speaker
Yeah, we take those. I need to do better. You could have a nice wraparound. You could take the lead if you get the 100th best game. hundred be hundredth How far does this go? How many rounds is it? Oh, we're just gonna keep going until until we're out right until you get to all your own.
00:21:19
Speaker
All right. um Mass Effect. Mass Effect. Is that on this list? Mass Effect one? probably yeah but i wouldn't feel like it would be.
00:21:31
Speaker
don't see. Unfortunately, Mass Effect one is not. Thank you. unfortunately That's another X for you. That's not a good X.
00:21:42
Speaker
damn it i have Mass Effect 2? Yes, and that is on this this nice that is the 14th best game. I didn't want to pick 2 because I knew it would be really high. But hey, points are points. Like you said, points are points. True, true. but i know You're at 179 you're at one some down You have a nice nice big lead.
00:22:03
Speaker
But Dawn could catch you here if he gets a nice huge littlet huge game right here. going to stick with the theme. yep i'm gonna i'm gonna stick with the theme Dragon Age Origins.
00:22:15
Speaker
Dragon Age Origins? You think Dragon age Origins is on this list? Yeah, I do too. Top 100? It should be. It's one of the best RPGs of all time. Fuck you, IGN.
00:22:28
Speaker
val Dragon Age Origins is not on this list. that's yes They don't know game. okay Okay, I need a safe pick then. Yeah, you do. um I'm going to with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is on this list, and it is rated at... It is on this list. I know what it is. It is the 72 best. What's up with you guys in the 70s? The 72nd best game. So you are now at 180.
00:23:02
Speaker
80 points total. I'm sorry. What was the game? Mario Kart 8. Yeah. Oh, nice. Yeah. Mario Kart 8. Does it specify whether it's 8 or 8 Deluxe? They did both of them like that. They did both of them like that. Okay.
00:23:16
Speaker
So, yeah. Mario Kart 8 is on this list. It's number 72. So, now the 72, 73, 74, and best game, according to IGN, are off the list. All right. All right.

00:27:24
Speaker
I don't know how I g would rate this, but already did one game in the franchise and this could be higher or lower, but I think it still should be in the top 100. And that is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
00:27:39
Speaker
That is on the list. It is.
00:27:45
Speaker
It is. Where is it? Oh, that's because I spelled it wrong. I'm doing the F5 now, then there just for you. mean, it's smart.
00:27:58
Speaker
It is number 51 on the list. It should be higher than Melee, but I will i'll allow that. Yeah, so number 51 on the list. So you are up to now 231 points. Nice. I get another one? And second voice.
00:28:14
Speaker
Let's see.
00:28:18
Speaker
voice let's see
00:28:28
Speaker
I'm going the game. Yeah. I'm going to go with. Super Metroid just to be safe.
00:28:41
Speaker
Super Metroid is number 20 on the list. I think that is a very appropriate place for Super Metroid. that gives you a wanted I wanted IGN to be like, you know what? Super Metroid isn't really that good. let's Let's put it down, but I guess not.
00:29:01
Speaker
Yeah, so you now have 251. James, you're at Midnight, you're thank you thank you overall

00:29:34
Speaker
Try now. Give me Mario Kart Wii. Mario Kart Wii. is not on this list. Dang. I it would have been, but nope, not on the list. That was going to be my choice, but I had to play a safe with the Mario Kart 8. All right, you both see it now, the doc.
00:29:57
Speaker
Yeah. Is it updating in real time? Yes. Cool, cool. Okay. All right. So I'm up again. I got to get some damn points. Let's see. All right. I mean, this got to be on the list. I just don't know how high, but let's just let's say for all the nerds out there.
00:30:13
Speaker
including me because I did play this for a a little time. World of Warcraft. It is on this list, and it is number 28 on the list.
00:30:22
Speaker
You're up to 198 now. 198. Okay, all right. never put those or take those Unfortunately, Club Penguin is not on this list, unfortunately. Wow. I know. I'm a little disappointed. Okay. All right. Keeping it with the...
00:30:38
Speaker
The um MMO theme. i know everyone loves RuneScape. Let's go RuneScape. IGN did not play RuneScape. I was thinking that, but I was like, there's no way it has reviews, right?
00:30:49
Speaker
Midnight RuneScape is not on there. No, it's not on there. It's a top 100 game of all time. RuneScape is not on there. I think it belongs to the top 100 games of all time, certainly. the but i don't hate him they wouldn't get Who's
00:31:06
Speaker
I don't know. i mean there're This isn't necessarily based on reviews. This is just like... that these are the top one hundred like I can't believe they used data to like compile this list from other aggregate scores and all types of things. so You said there was all kinds of witchcraft. I still can't believe you missed RuneScape. I never even played RuneScape myself. i always thought it looks...
00:31:30
Speaker
i can just for half eighteen man It looks like Roblox. It looks terrible. it's it It was...
00:31:39
Speaker
um Alright, it's me. Don't make a terrible pick like I just did, man. Make a good one. Give me to him come on The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess.
00:31:52
Speaker
That's going to be high. wait list It's no is not on the list. Thank you, IGN. IGN did something great. James, what's going on? do You had one and now you got four. i yeah I just got three in a row. I don't know.
00:32:04
Speaker
Twilight Princess is not on this list. I felt like that was a really safe guess. now Now I'm scared because I had another Legend of Zelda game and I thought that Twilight Princess would be higher than that one Risk it for the biscuit? Risk it, man. Risk it. You're winning.
00:32:20
Speaker
oh We're going to go with... I'm too scared. I just picked RuneScape, bro. You can do it. That might be the worst pick.
00:32:33
Speaker
Somebody had to do it, Sean. all right like Like Trump said. yeah yeah Somebody had to do it The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker.
00:32:44
Speaker
That's what I was thinking. Wind Waker is on this list. It is number 69 on the list. nice Nice. Nice. Nice. So, yeah.
00:32:58
Speaker
nice nice So, like yes see you got... you're up to
00:33:08
Speaker
320 points. not a bad. It's a really good pick. 320 points. And have the wraparound. All right.
00:33:14
Speaker
right
00:33:18
Speaker
They can see I have one that I feel like would be a spikes in the super low and like in the top 100 were really low, but I was so scared. I'm gonna save that for when it's it's safer, but I'm gonna do something I know is going to be on this list, even if it's going to give me a little bit of points. It's going Super Mario World.
00:33:44
Speaker
Yeah, it's the 13th best game, according to the record. That's good wraparound. That was the SNES one, right? Yes. That was fire. Sorry. You're at 333 points. Okay. No. i sorry reading charge you're you're at three hundred and thirty three call shouldwin okay right now playing it safe here. James, please don't get another X, bro. You'll be dead. Don't do it. I know. I know. Give me Breath of the Wild. Play it safe. Play it safe this one. Breath of the Wild, that's number one. I Give me Breath of the Wild. It is number one. It is number one.
00:34:12
Speaker
Really? How'd you know that was number one? One point. Because it's number one on every list. It's the best game I've ever made. I'll be cheating. That's about as safe as you can play it. Yeah. Is that actually number one? Yeah, it is number one. So you're at 251 points now. That was... i figure I figured all of you would know. It's the first top 10 game I've got so far. so All right. Breath of the Wild.
00:34:33
Speaker
Okay. This is a joke. RuneScape 2. No, it's joking. Yes, it's on the list. That is number two. No, for real. Let me think. I need points, man. I'm not losing. Can you recap the scores for for people? Yeah, currently it's midnight, 198. In second place – well, in last place, midnight, 198. Second place, James, 251. And then in first place, Don at 3-3-3.
00:34:56

00:36:23
Speaker
Thank you. I bet I did. Did they limit... Wait, did they limit how many games per franchise? Okay, I didn't think so. Give me Tears of the Kingdom. That is on this list. that's a really That's actually a really good pick. It's the 60th best game, according to them. Oh, hell Wait, why didn't I pick that? How is there 50 How is there...
00:36:43
Speaker
yeah i mean how is there I feel like that and Breath of the Wild shouldn't be that far apart. That's why. So you're at 311 now, James. Nice.
00:36:54

00:40:00
Speaker
Loser alert. um Loser. Playing it safe, right? Give me Red Dead Redemption 2. Yes, Red Dead Redemption 2 is on this list. It is the number 15 best game. So now you're up to 329.
00:40:16
Speaker
I'm down by like 200. 180 right now. You're down all right. This one is safe and should be super high on the list. of Portal 2. It is 24th best game, according to IGN. So that gives you 24th, and you are now up to 535.
00:40:34
Speaker
RIP Kobe. And I got to keep playing it safe.
00:40:39
Speaker
ah You need points, man. You're down by like 200. I can't be too aggressive because if I get one more x I'm out. you're right you're right I can't be throwing out RuneScape. Don't listen to me. i mean look at Look at my scores, bro. I can risk an X here. I'm going to risk an X. Wait, Don. James up is up. If there's any RuneScape fans, ah please defend me in the chat. In the comments. Um...
00:41:06
Speaker
and those comments um
00:41:13
Speaker
Man, I don't know. They quit Nintendo. and of The big ones, though.
00:41:24
Speaker
I have a weird you guys will not get the number two game. I don't know why. so Give me Super Mario 64. That is on this list. That is number six. Number six. yeah Yeah.
00:41:35
Speaker
Why? What the hell? It's the most revolutionary 3D game of all time. See, you're you too young. James doesn't like James doesn't like Like, hey, as an old head, let me tell you, that game was revolutionary and breathtaking. Yeah, I was like, we've never seen anything like that. A breathtaking game is brutal. I get that.
00:41:56
Speaker
to impact. There's a lot of things that holds you know No, i just didn't note Super Mario 64 is still one of the best 3D platformers because most 3D platformers kind of suck outside of Mario.
00:42:09
Speaker
That's true. I'll give you that. I don't know about that. Banjo sucks. Oh, Banjo sucks. Crash sucks. Oh, whoa! Crash does not suck.
00:42:20
Speaker
I think Spyro's great. I think Crash is great. It's not that much about the 3D platform and versus like Crash. Crash isn't even a 3D platformer. That's why I hate Crash Bandicoot. It's 2D platformer, but you go straight instead of left and right. Unless you play Crash of Insanity, which is an open world game.
00:42:41
Speaker
ah Sorry, tangent. Let's see. We're... We're going to stick with... You currently have it exactly a 200-point lead.
00:42:54
Speaker
great I'm going to risk it. i don't know which one they would pick, but I feel like one of these games in this franchise may be on this list.
00:43:07
Speaker
I'm going to go fire Emblem Awakening. I was going to guess Fire Emblem 2. I'm sorry. There there are no Fire Emblem games on this list. How dare they? oh I fucking hate IGN so Don, you are now eliminated. So, James, you need to make up 200 points. Wait, I'm a little. I thought I had four. Oh, are you only a four? For him. Yeah, that was four. Oh, never mind then. Okay. So, never mind. Yeah, it's still it's still me.
00:43:32
Speaker
yeah still Yeah, I still got this. I still got this. um So you shouldn't have said there was no Fire Emblems. I don't care. because He might have picked three houses or something. He's not picking three houses.
00:43:45
Speaker
um I feel like this is risky, but I'm going give me...
00:43:56
Speaker
I don't think this is going to be on there, but I'm going to say it. Red Dead Redemption 1. It is on the list. Hang on one second. My computer is like frozen real quick. I don't know why. All right. There we go. Okay. Sorry.
00:44:12
Speaker
i'm still I'm still here, right? Yeah, you're here. Okay. i don't know why my computer just like, like re that didn't reboot, but it went black and then came back. Red Dead Redemption is on this list. Red Dead Redemption 1, if I can spell it correctly.
00:44:25
Speaker
I just wrote Red Redemption. That's why. Red Dead Redemption 1. is the number 35 game.
00:44:33
Speaker
Not too bad, making up some ground. So you are now at 370. That's higher than I thought Red Dead Redemption would have been the first one. I think Red Dead Redemption 1 is better than 2. Thanks.
00:44:47
Speaker
oh I know most people wouldn't take that though because they love the cinema. They have the greatest video game website. Cinema with terrible controls. All right. good
00:45:02
Speaker
I'm going to go with one that super safe and should definitely be on here. Naruto. I'm just kidding. Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2. No, I'm just kidding.
00:45:17
Speaker
Love that game though. um
00:45:23
Speaker
No, that's too risky. Okay. Everyone and now I forgot it. Shout out to Naruto though. Hell yeah. Okay. had one and it disappeared from my mind and now I'm kind of upset.
00:45:38
Speaker
Crap. but I thought it was really Now I got to pivot. Oh, OK. This has to be on here, but should be low.
00:45:50
Speaker
her The Last of Us Part 2. It is. It is number 59 on the list.
00:46:00
Speaker
It should be higher T-L-O-U-1. It should be, but it's not. I don't know about that. I like one better. um So that is, that's going to bring your score 594. I've we got some safe ones that I'm ready for. All right.
00:46:20
Speaker
Grand Theft Auto 5. GTA 5 is on this list. It's number 12. So you're not really...
00:46:33
Speaker
Wait, did we say Final Fantasy X was not on here? Correct. guess he yeah that That was my strikeout. Okay, Final Fantasy IX. Unfortunately, Final Fantasy IX not on this list. Dawn, you are out. so um James, you need to make up You are currently at 382, and Dawn is at 594. So you got you got your you know yeah your ways to go right now.
00:46:59
Speaker
But hey, you can just start knocking off some safe games. 212, yeah. Give me Claire Obscure Expedition 33. That is this list, and that is a great pick. That is number two. Oh, what a joke that that's in the top 100 of all time. Yeah, that's some of them.
00:47:15
Speaker
Overrated ass shit. Alright, that makes up a huge leave, a huge round for you. That's going to bring you to 465. I didn't expect that to be so high up there.
00:47:31
Speaker
um It shouldn't have been in the top 100 at all, but anyway, I digress. I'm a hater. I'm with Midnight. I like the game, but I hate how overrated it is. I just need a few good ones. Like a few safe...
00:47:45
Speaker
oh One bad pick and you're done. yeah Give me Half-Life 2. Half-Life 2 is on this list. It is number 4.
00:47:57
Speaker
You're at 469 now. Wow, Midnight. Your score looking worse and worse each game, each time. I know, I suck. um Jesus.
00:48:09
Speaker
I'm not very good at these guessing games, apparently. That's okay. Find a game I'm good at, Sean. yeah
00:48:22
Speaker
I don't know. I think this is... I know Mario Kart Wii is not on there, but give me Mario Kart 64, and that might not be out. Oh, that is definitely not on there. Yeah. Nope. not on here. So, Dawn, you are the winner at 594.
00:48:39
Speaker
Congrats, Don. All right. i will start I will tell you this. I'm going to give you guys a couple little caveats. The number 100 game, Allen Week 2. ah Really?
00:48:50
Speaker
Allen Week 2. I don't think anyone would have guessed that. I'm sorry. I think I would have guessed that. would have guessed that. Persona 4 was on there? Persona 4 was not on there. I was going to guess that. night it's not open out wow Okay, Resident Evil 2 was the one I was trying to, I thought about, but it disappeared from my mind. right man I didn't even think about Resident Evil. 2 is not on the list.
00:49:12
Speaker
What? Resident Evil 4 is number 8. Resident Evil 1 is number 90. No! Portal 1. Portal 1? is number ninety no about port one order one
00:49:24
Speaker
is not on the list. Portal, the number 50 game was StarCraft. What about Half-Life 1? Half-Life 1 was number 53.
00:49:36
Speaker
Oh, man. I was between that and whatever I said they got me wrong. I am shocked none of you guys said Fortnite. That was number 65. I hate Fortnite. I wouldn't have expected it. I would have put that in the same group as Roomscape. I would have been too scared to even guess that one.
00:49:52
Speaker
No one guessed. I'm surprised nobody guessed an Uncharted game. and That'd be too high. and i started to was number 39. is there Is there more Metroid on there? I would expect Metroid Prime. Yes, Metroid Prime is top 10.
00:50:07
Speaker
Number 40. 41 is 40? Yep. That's why went with Super Metroid. Two and three are not on there? be number two and three and I am shocked. um None of you guys guessed Pokemon Red or Blue.
00:50:18
Speaker
That was number 44. I didn't think about Pokemon. Con 4 was number 34. Oh, yeah, Con. oh yeah car I'm so trashed now that I just don't ever think about it.
00:50:30
Speaker
Well, there's so many games that I feel like are very revolutionary. No Gears of War. No Gears of War. Damn. Any Forza? No. What about Halo 1? Halo 1, Halo 2. Halo 2 was number 92, and Halo 1 was number 30.
00:50:41
Speaker
halo ha on halo two halo two was number ninety two and halo one was number thirty Huh. Nobody guessed Mario Galaxy, which was 60. Wait, did you just say Halo 2 was 92? Yep.
00:50:57
Speaker
Yeah. They had Halo 1 higher than Halo 2? They did. That seems odd to me, too. No, no, no. I feel like that's pretty, like, impact-wise, but also I think Halo 1's campaign definitely is better than Halo 2. You guys kept bringing up GTA, and no one brought GTA 3, which was 57. Yeah. Because if Vice City isn't on there, 3 shouldn't be on next. Yeah, Vice City is way better. God of War 2018 was on this list. I haven't even played 3. What am I talking about? It didn't even register to me to guess anything other than the really, really obvious ones after like 2010.
00:51:31
Speaker
Bloodborne, 26. twenty six What? Come on. Shadow of the Colossus, 23. Chrono Trigger, 23. The Elden Ring? The Elden Ring was on here. was number 7. What do you think the number 2 game was?
00:51:45
Speaker
operate at time no i agree on time to three No, I had that one. Number two was definitely going to be Super Mario Odyssey. Tetris. Odyssey was 61. What? Where's Galaxy? What about Sunshine?
00:51:57
Speaker
what where's galaxy what about sunshine Sunshine not on the list. Galaxy was 66. Raked! Okay, as long as Galaxy is after... Far Cry 3. No Far Cry. there I'm sure. um all right One game I knew no one would get, Ms. Pac-Man was Ms. Pac-Man was 70.
00:52:18
Speaker
I feel like Ubisoft got snubbed this whole list because they hate the Ubisoft. Assassin's Creed and Far Cry. No, no AC. No Far surprised nobody gets hollow.
00:52:31
Speaker
I don't think any of the Assassin's Creed games have reviewed incredibly well, though. I know that people really i people love 2. Impact, though. Impact. Yeah, and... but i don't know. I think Brotherhood's better than 2. We can move on.
00:52:45
Speaker
Yes, we can move on now. Alright, moving on to Sean. Okay, so Dawn, you won. Yeah, Suns Creek 2 was a 90 on Metacritic. You won round 1. You won round 1. Okay? So now if Dawn wins round 2, the game is over.
00:53:02
Speaker
We're all being sent home. Wait, what if you said you have 3 rounds planned? Unless Dawn wins round 1 and we're on 2. but i guess what is two or three What if we each of us win a round then?
00:53:15
Speaker
well no the person like Let's say you win this round. Midnight's eliminated. We're changing okay okay okay okay i see oh yeah no the order. is changing The order is changing. We're doing something different now. okay all I so four put a new chart up. You see it?
00:53:28
Speaker
Yes. Yeah, I see it. All right. For round two, again, we are going to be snaking. So it's going to go James, Midnight, Dawn. um This is – we've fool done this before. It is a ah Metacritic draft where I have categories, and you were going to try to name a game that fits the category, and you get i like the amount of points for that Metacritic score. oh sorry. This fun. I'm going to get up on Metacritic right now.
00:53:51
Speaker
You were on Metacritic? I just looked at the Assassin's Creed 2s. I have specific categories with these things. These are pretty straightforward. I'm not tell the category until we get to that. But everyone has the same category for each pick. I'm going to just say, for integrity sake, the only browsers that I have open is Zencaster and Google Docs, and that's it.
00:54:17
Speaker
so I have some D&D Beyond tabs. that's fine and yeah no No list. He's got the IGN top 500 list. Yeah, just the IGN 500 list. Nothing too crazy. yeah ah But I'm going to go ahead and close out my other tabs for now. All right, so the winner of this game will be... um If you get an X, you just don't get points that round. um The winner will be whoever has the highest accumulated score at the end.
00:54:48
Speaker
Can I just say really quick, this is very important. Shout out to everybody who's off work on Monday. We all off work? Three-day weekend? No. Schools aren't open. You gotta work?
00:54:58
Speaker
Gotta work. Wait, you have to work, Sean? No, schools aren't open. Come on. Exactly. I figured you'd be off. Are you off, James? It's a holiday, right? So it's a holiday. So I just started a new job two months ago. I work from home, but my wife doesn't work. My wife works at a bank, so she's off that day. So I'm just going kind not work until they ask me things.
00:55:24
Speaker
I actually have, i actually have one set off as well because, um, I have a person if, you so we get 17 sick days that carry over. So if they, if you, well, you only get 11, but the longer you work there, you get more sick days. So I get 17 that carry over here, but you get, you get two personal days and if you don't use them, you lose them.
00:55:42
Speaker
So I have to use, so I'm using one Wednesday. So I had to put that in like a month ago though. And it just got approved. So It's that time of year. I'm excited, man. Three-day weekend.

Conclusion of Metacritic Draft Game
00:56:35
Speaker
you want. No. No, it's fine. Okay. All right, James, you were up with the first pick, and the game is, the category is, a game where you can play is Luigi, but it was released after the year 2000. Pretty easy. Super Mario Galaxy.
00:56:53
Speaker
ah mario galaxy And you're trying to get the lowest score? No, you're trying get the highest score. Oh, right. yeah It's Metacritic. right for we um You have got 97 points there. Yeah, that's super high.
00:57:07
Speaker
I totally forgot that Gal 2 you can play as Luigi. That's not bad. The L is real. Wait, he guessed Galaxy? Yes, he guessed Galaxy and he got 97 points. You can play ah in the postgame. You do the whole thing again as Luigi. and they call it like and it is They say it's like another game.
00:57:24
Speaker
ma' Okay. Alright, Midnight Heroes. Yeah, see, this is where my not playing Nintendo stuff really hurts me, but I'll just go ahead and guess Luigi's Mansion. Alright, Luigi. that's this Wait, first one? Did that one rate high? I know the third one did. I want the third one. now You want the third one? Yeah. Alright, I mean, I guess we'll give it to you. We'll give that. pleasure You got 86 points there.
00:57:51
Speaker
Thanks, Doug. What was the rating of the first one? 74. Okay. Appreciate it Don. No problem. I'll say this later. So I'm going to go with Super Mario 3D World. Oh, gee, not Bowser Fury. Okay, 3D World.
00:58:07
Speaker
Got... I should probably type in Super Mario 3D World. That would probably help. Huh?
00:58:14
Speaker
Super Mario 3D World. It has to be high. Yeah, got 93. Yeah, my second choice was going to... Wait, we're done with that category, right? Correct. hit Yeah, my second choice was going to be Super Mario Galaxy 2.
00:58:26
Speaker
Yeah, which would have got you... I think they're the same score, so... I could have went with that. oh I'm so dumb. Yeah, Galaxy 2 also has a 97. I should have done it with Galaxy 2. What was I thinking? I actually didn't know if he was in 2 or not. After one round, James 97, Dawn 93, Midnight 86.
00:58:48
Speaker
right so We're going to go right back. it's um Dawn's going to go again. We're just going to go backwards now. okay so The next category is name a game where you name you give a name to the main character released after the year 2010.
00:59:10
Speaker
two thousand and ten You give a name a character released after 2010. Yeah, it's like the character you play as. says But it eliminates all the good Legend of Zelda games.
00:59:26
Speaker
Thank you. Thank you for that. um She's a bad one. You give a name a character...
00:59:37
Speaker
This is actually pretty hard. After 2010. Is it
00:59:53
Speaker
is it can can it be a creative character? Yeah. Or is it? Yeah. OK, if it's a creative character. Elden Ring. Elden Ring. Do you name your character in Elden Ring?
01:00:06
Speaker
you name your church yeah no you don't just You don't just create a character and not name him. No, no, i think I don't think you put a name. I'm lying. That's an asset. You certainly do.
01:00:19
Speaker
Here, I'll look it up. Do you name a character? I'm not sure. I don't remember. You certainly. Yes. so ah course it Google says ah when you When you load a save, it says your character's name on there. All right. Well, that's 96 points for you. Yeah, yeah, you do. Good job, Don. So that's going to go 189 now. you're I was thinking that it has to be like ah a a character like a job and then you have to like put your name put the name so Elden Ring was my first guess too but I wasn't positive if you named him but the one that I'm thinking of well da well but yeah minute you're yeah yeah is going to be Gate and yes you create your character
01:01:03
Speaker
yes that's definitely up there i yes you name it Baldur's D3. Guys, I'm so dumb. ah I know what game I'm picking. 96. said after 2010? After So midnight. So you are now up to one eighty two yes so Y'all were saying Elden Ring. I thought y'all were saying... I thought y'all were talking about Skyrim.
01:01:34
Speaker
I'm going to go Skyrim. it Skyrim has a 96. So you are now up to... one we all got the 96. 83.
01:01:48
Speaker
So not bad. that round basically doesn't count. So we got all the same score. Yeah.
01:01:56
Speaker
Oh, sorry, Midnight. You're at 172. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so the score after two rounds, Don 189, James 183, Midnight he should be at if Who, should be at do some math john ninety six of features i should be at one ninety three What's 100 plus 86 and then subtract four, Sean? Oh, yeah, you're right. Sorry. sorry All right, Don, you're at 199. Sorry.
01:02:28
Speaker
I took 10 points off everyone. My bad. He should be at 189.
01:02:36
Speaker
That's 199. Oh, no, no, 189. Yeah, I'm at 189. And Knight's at 182. And James is at? James is at 193. Yeah, 183. Sorry, hi dad my bad. My bad.
01:02:47

01:03:00
Speaker
Here we go. The next category is a multiplayer only game released between the years 2005 and 2005 to only. game. So does that mean, okay, if you can play, if you can play by yourself.
01:03:27
Speaker
But you're playing online, yes, that counts. Okay. Okay. 2005 and 2010? Yes. and What if I say a game that might not even be in that range and I'm not sure? Then you get an X. Okay. Well, what you mean multiplayer only, so if it has a campaign, it doesn't count? Correct. If there's a single player offline mode, if there's an offline mode, you are in- Even if even if the game is primarily known for multiplayer? ask y'all when a game came out?
01:03:52
Speaker
No. yeah No. I think this is too early. Give me World of Warcraft. That's 2004. That's an X for you. no you get no point just get Not an You just get no points that round.
01:04:09
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Zero. Whatever. I'll just put an X. That's a zero. It's a four. um I guess I could just put zero. Okay. um All right. well I don't know the answer either because i was I was thinking Call of Duty, right? But Call Duty has a campaign, so that's not going to count. So we're screwed. was thinking Left 4 Dead 2, but you can play it by yourself offline.
01:04:29
Speaker
Yeah, so multiplayer only, Sean, you bastard. Let me think. And this is in 2005 to 2010, an era that wasn't super online. There's a lot of them. Yeah, they're still, they're not, the ones I'm thinking of are not high rated, but there was lot.
01:04:47
Speaker
Better than zero. Yeah.
01:04:52
Speaker
Dude, I'm really struggling. Fuck. um
01:04:59
Speaker
And a lot of the ones I'm thinking of, i don't even know if they have a Metacritic score. this is a great. couple of good ones.
01:05:08
Speaker
It's a PS3 game I'm thinking of. It's Midnight's turn? Yes. Right? Okay. Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't know. i'm there You're right. Fuck.
01:05:19
Speaker
Fuck. right. All right. I don't know if it has a score, but ah it's definitely an online only game that came out after 2005. I'll go with RuneScape. That did not come out after 2005. RuneScape 1 came out in 2000. I think 2001. RuneScape 2 came out, and which is now called RuneScape. I didn't mean it.
01:05:39
Speaker
Nope. I thought RuneScape came out after World of Warcraft. Nope. So midnight, you get a zero. right. I'm sorry. ah feel like I set you up. That's all right.
01:05:51
Speaker
OK, my timeline is is off then. OK. I'm just going to go. With.
01:06:08
Speaker
have two PS three ones that I'm not sure if either of these. but don't know which one has the higher score, but I'm going to go play my side to. What is it?
01:06:18
Speaker
PlanetSide 2, which is a 100-player MMO first-person shooter. That came out in sorry.
01:06:30
Speaker
Oh, that had an 84 as well. That would have been a good... doubt it What? An 80... That game was ass. yeah So, it came to you guys, how did none of you guys pick Mag? Massive. that's so That was the other one. Yeah, that came on in 2010. That one definitely had a lower score. Yeah, it's 76, but came in 2010. 76? I was thinking like 60. Yeah, Mag.
01:06:50
Speaker
Do you have other examples? should a woman man What other examples? You're like, oh, this is so common. one I mentioned earlier Club Penguin. Nobody's thinking of Club Penguin, Sean. I was thinking of MMOs. I was thinking of like Perfect
Guessing Wii Games Without Key Titles
01:07:03
Speaker
World. didn't know when no one came out.
01:07:05
Speaker
Was Guild Wars in that? Guild Wars maybe. wars I should have. One versus 100 maybe. Guild Wars? But it had 89? No, one versus 100. It came out after. versus 100 was definitely after.
01:07:20
Speaker
i should have picked Guild Wars. thing One versus 100. came out in 2008. did we came on two thousand and eight Oh, indeed? So it would have kept... Did we all get zero no? Yeah, you all got zeros. All right, that we're good at least. All right. No harm, no foul. Let's go. All right, are we ready for the next category? Yep.

01:07:54
Speaker
No Wii Sports, no Wii Play. I got it. i got it yeah i already got mine. um maybe'll quick It's going to be... I think this should be a high... The Conduit 2.

01:08:34
Speaker
It didn't score as high as you think it did. It was a great game, though. The first one was really great, and I didn't like the second one. Okay, I think this should be the one of the highest scoring games.
01:08:49
Speaker
ah that isn't in this. Xenoblade Chronicles. Oh. Xenoblade Chronicles. For the Wii, I mean, for yes, for the Wii has...
01:09:03

01:09:15
Speaker
Wii! It might not have a Metacritic score. It has to. There's no way it doesn't. Yeah, it's like 2010. Definitely has one. I'm looking right now. so you may It may be like with another version of Xenoblade Chronicles. It might have been lumped in with the Definitive Edition.
01:09:33
Speaker
No, no, it should be with like the 3DS. Yes, I got the Wii 1. I got the Wii 1 right here. It's a 92. It's a That's not bad. Not bad. Nice pick. So now, Don, you are up to 272.

Next category is How many rounds do you have? Sorry. I have one, two, three, four, five. Five more rounds. Five more. Okay, cool. All right.
01:17:24
Speaker
Next round. A Final Fantasy game released. Here we go. Since 2000. Oh, easy money. Yeah, easy.
01:17:36
Speaker
so Super easy money. but i'm not going oh I am going first. You are. Okay. Okay. Wait, this isn't easy money. I'm actually kind scared. Okay, since 2000, it's got to be the highest rated has to be Final Fantasy 10.
01:17:59
Speaker
Thank you for saying that. Final Fantasy 10? Are we sure? I'm so glad you said that and not the one I wanted. Okay. i already lock You're locked in. It's a 92. That's not bad that's not it's not a bad pick. I would have got the same score if I picked my other one, so I'm okay with that.
01:18:17
Speaker
um That is 94. 47.
01:18:23
Speaker
forty seven My pick is our universal game of the year for 2024, Sean. Rebirth. Okay. re i'll take I'll take Remake. has a ninety s Rebirth also has a 92.
01:18:35
Speaker
So Midnight, you were That was going to be my other pick. You are Remake, James. And you want Remake? Remake is a little lower.
01:18:44
Speaker
I actually have to look. But it's better than Fantasy 15 or 13, that's for sure. 16 as well. Remake has an 87. Oh, we don't talk about 16. I forgot that it even existed. 16 wasn't bad. I like 16 a lot. It wasn't a Final Fantasy game. That's all I got to say. 16 was my second or third best game of that game. James, you have, now have, so that's an 87. So you are at 438.
01:19:08
Speaker
Yeah.
01:19:10
Speaker
thirty eight
01:19:14
Speaker
Okay, so not bad. Midnight, you're in the lead by one point over Don. The highest gain you could have got was Final Fantasy IX at a 94. Oh, okay. How far behind I? Came out in 2000, November 13th, 2000.
01:19:28
Speaker
But you still got four rounds, James. You're going to catch up, bro. Four rounds is a lot. That zero in round three is really bugging me. Well, we all got zero. It doesn't matter. Right, but I've been struggling since then. All right. Are we ready the next category?
Guessing Non-Bungie Halo Titles
01:19:46
Speaker
Uh-huh. Yes. All right. Next up, a Halo game not made by Bungie. Let's go. All right, James, you're up.
01:19:58
Speaker
Give me a second. I know the highest rated one.
01:20:15
Speaker
i know The TV show? Okay. The TV show. Master Cheeks.
01:20:21
Speaker
Oh, well, at first I was like, well, there's only like three or four options, but there's actually more options than I thought. am's Halo Wars 2. Halo Wars 2. I would not pick that one, but. that's an interesting I don't know. I have no idea. i have no point of reference. seven God.
01:20:39
Speaker
So you are at now, that's going to bring you to 517. feel like you should have just went with the obvious ones because they all rated high.
01:20:50
Speaker
I'm going to go with the obvious one and that's going to be, I'll just go Halo Infinite. ah so i felt like obvious 27. So that's
01:21:01
Speaker
525. I was originally thinking of like Halo Wars 2, though. I'm not going lie, so I'm glad you went first. But there's not that big of a difference between those scores. There's only eight points between them. so But I'm about to go beyond... you're going Super Saiyan?
01:21:21
Speaker
Yeah. It's going to little bit higher, but Halo Master Chief Collection. Yeah, that's what I feel like the obvious one was. It's going to bring you to... um but What is it? What what is it? Mass Effect Collection has an 85.
01:21:37
Speaker
What? I thought it was a 90. Remember how broken it was when it came out? It didn't work. That's what I was thinking, too. that it It was really rough when it came out. Yeah, really rough. But reviewers don't care about that stuff.
01:21:49
Speaker
That's true. They barely play. I'm going to bring you to 532. So, Midnight, you have a three-point lead. It's currently Midnight, 535. Dawn, 532. James, 517. Wait, Midnight has lead?
01:21:58
Speaker
art mid i has Yeah. Are we sure about that? Yes, I am. and just did the calculations via calculator. Yeah.
01:22:11
Speaker
I don't know, actually. Are we sure about that, Sean? Looks a little off, but... Yeah, I don't think you're right. He should not have the lead. Okay, I'm going to do it right now. 86 plus... I'll do it right now on my phone. Sean is not very good at math, guys. I'm sorry.
01:22:29
Speaker
Here, I'll do Don. I'm doing right now. 86 96. 92, 81, 92, 85. He's got 539. Plus got 535. Sorry.

01:27:47
Speaker
i'm gonna pick
01:27:50
Speaker
2010. I'm going to pick Metal Gear Rising Vengeance. Oh my god. what gear Or Vengeance whatever it's called. Metal Gear Rising. Yeah, Metal Gear Rising. let's see what that has.

01:28:20
Speaker
PlayStation Official Magazine only gave it a 60. How many reviews did it have? oh it has it has 61 critic reviews. Okay, but I feel like it should way higher, but...
01:28:34
Speaker
Yeah, well, I should with my obvious one, which was Master Collection. Yeah. I was wondering how i can was how much was that one? which What was it?
01:28:45
Speaker
Master Collection Volume 1. Yeah, I just looked that up actually. Hang on. Oh, only 74.
01:28:53
Speaker
um so oh only a seventy four oh Oh, I'm glad they didn't go with that one in. You know why? That's because wasn't on that. People like criticized the um something about one of the games. One of them had read that frame rate issues or something.
01:29:16
Speaker
well ah Shout out to your shirt, by the way, Don. What would be the highest... Oh, appreciate it. One of the best Nintendo consoles. What was the highest Konami game? Was it Phantom Pain? I think, it was Phantom Pain. But one of those Pro Evolution soccer games has...
01:29:30
Speaker
Had an 89. Pro Evolution Soccer 2016. I remember I used to be heavy into the PES and then i played um I used to always like dog on my friend who loved FIFA. Like, look at the Metacritic score. What's the difference between in the two games? PES definitely had a better...
01:29:50
Speaker
feel to it as far as like the simulation. But FIFA was just the everyone knew how to play FIFA like you had to relearn BES a little bit and also graphically FIFA look better.
01:30:04
Speaker
Did FIFA like the organization partner with Konami? No, no, no. they They also didn't have a lot of the leagues. So that's why a lot of people just defaulted to FIFA as well. wait could need to Once they moved to the Fox engine on PES, which was the same engine as Phantom Pain.
01:30:21
Speaker
yeah those games were amazing. Because, you know, FIFA is no longer partnered with EA. EA broke free because they didn't want to pay. So the FIFA actual real life organization, they're not partnered with anyone. They're not making a game.
01:30:34
Speaker
Supposedly 2K. Supposedly 2K is working on a soccer game with FIFA. wonder how that will be. We'll see if it comes out. all right. Sorry, Sean. No, it's fine. I'm doing the scores right now because we have one round left. And right now, Dawn has 710. they
01:30:52
Speaker
and they should be higher now. Yeah. For sure.

01:40:27
Speaker
Yeah. This is, so this is for second place because me and Jay, like in the whole game thing, because Don won the first two games, he's on, he's unbeatable and it's me and James are tied right now for this one. So whoever wins, this will be the the second place. The first loser overall.

01:44:36
Speaker
Come on, man. That game is mega popular and has relevance. So I don't... In the top 100?
01:44:43
Speaker
Is it that far-fetched that a game that's that relevant in Netflix could in the top 100? Like 93 or something? If it was any other list, I would feel like it could be in there. i well I thought that he said that they based it off of like review scores. They did. It was calculated review scores. yeah I missed that. I thought he said it was based on voodoo. but I thought he said based on a whole bunch of crap that they just got on. With feeling.
01:45:09
Speaker
Originally, so Dawn swept. He won all three games. That's a sweep. He did. He mopped you guys. He mopped you guys. He did with a Knicks or about to do the Cavs. That's what he did. um um But that was fun game. Originally, i was going to make my list of 100 games and have you guys guess my list.
01:45:29
Speaker
That would have been fun. That would have been a lot. feel like Midnight
Conclusion and Participant Projects
01:45:32
Speaker
would have had a disadvantage there. Oh, no. Midnight would have been like... There would been a lot of JRPGs on there, so... Yeah, I'd have been super weebish. I'd have been like Chronicles 1.
