Speaker
one. I'm your huckleberry Just my game Uh anything to add to the pile this week before you die Oh before I die Sorry Do you want me to pause? Do you want me to give you if you want to hit the elevator music for a few minutes and you can mute? Oh No, i'm good ready to go. Okay. Okay this week
00:02:09
Speaker
Started playing power world Fuck up. You're playing the pal. Yeah, I'm playing with pals How is it? It is very much more survival than Pokemon But I mean the collecting aspect of Pokemon is there yes the battle monsters Part of Pokemon is there
00:02:36
Speaker
You can catch them, you can fight them. You can catch them all, you can fight them all, but it's all real time. There's no terms. Yeah. There is guns. You get guns later. You start off with just like a bow and an axe. You gotta go build your way up to the bigger, cooler shit. Damn. So it's kind of like Ark survival with Pokemon.
00:03:04
Speaker
It is our survival with pals. They're not Pokemon, they're pals. Yeah, they don't earn the rights to that. No. Well, they don't own much when you capture them and make them work in a forced labor camp where satisfaction is in fact a stat you have to worry about.
Game Comparisons and Mechanics
00:03:24
Speaker
So it's kind of like Cult of the Lamb. It's like Cult of the Lamb except they don't come to you and are like, hey,
00:03:33
Speaker
That guy even yeah, they don't they can't leave there you have the ball there's no Descent among the people they just You know, it's like a sweatshop. They just get unhappy and have to deal with it God damn it. I didn't know you're playing power So I just started currently PC and Xbox cannot play together So Keep that in mind everybody
00:04:04
Speaker
You picked you picked it up on PC. Yes Yeah, I didn't I didn't know if you were gonna hit me with the other thing that you've delved into the the forbidden fruit of the Xbox No Not at all. Um God damn it. I did not know you're playing power world. Yeah, I just picked it up. I
00:04:27
Speaker
It's fun. It is much more survival than anything else. You got to keep that mind when you're playing it.
Gaming Aesthetics and Unpredictability
00:04:33
Speaker
That's kind of the thing. Um, before we get into the topic at hand, uh, I wanted, I don't know why I expected animal crossing the one that last one that came out on switch. When you start on your Island, you have like a little tent.
00:04:56
Speaker
I really wanted it to keep that aesthetic of like camping, building a shelter, foraging. Like I wanted it to keep that aesthetic. Not the normal Tom Nookle just pay you to exist on his island thing. Oh, yeah. This, you got to build up everything. Yeah. And like real life camping, fire is a problem. Yeah. Especially when your pals are retarded.
00:05:24
Speaker
and run into the fire and then run into your base. So the raids that they have where everything come and attacks your base, yeah, is less of a threat than your pals. If you put the campfire in a bad spot, the NPCs are less of a threat than your actual fucking friends. Yes. Oh, God, you have to be very careful where you put everything or you're in trouble.
00:05:55
Speaker
Um god damn All right. We're going in segment two because otherwise we're just gonna keep talking about pal world How are you not dead? I have no idea Uh any gameplay you want to go over?
Weapon Preferences and Costs
00:06:10
Speaker
Um We've had a few where um, we all Had great i'm still Traumatized from the last one from from the bomb bomb arrows. Yes. Yeah
00:06:25
Speaker
That's just about all I can remember as far as gameplay. It really shook me more than it probably should have. Instead of nailing it down to one, and now that the event is over, because by the time this comes out, the event will be over, we'll use this to dock out some prompting questions. Are you surprised at the lack of Katana we saw as console players? Not really, because on console there's
00:06:55
Speaker
I mean, there were plenty of katana people, let's not forget the one who teleported right in front of us and wiped us. Yeah, the only one. The only one. We had somebody use the teleport thing, the shadow walk, using it the way we expected it to be used exactly once, and it utterly fucked us up. Scared the shit out of us.
00:07:19
Speaker
Yeah, that was my rage quit moment where that happened. I'm punching this dude in the face as hard as I can. Nothing's going down. And eventually we both die. And I'm like, I think I'm done for the evening. But when the bat dropped, you couldn't get away from the bat. You had people taking two bats. Like the bat was everywhere. And as far like the Katana is getting some love. But for the most part, I'm like, I'm not seeing a lot of Katana. I'm not seeing a lot of drilling hand cannons.
00:07:50
Speaker
So the drilling hand cannon is an odd spot because it's a it's a two slot not a one or three Well, it's um, it's a medium size. It's a you know It's the size of a shorty. So it would be a two slaughter The issue is is for shorties. I think everyone is still on long ammo or precision yeah, or
00:08:20
Speaker
all these new characters they're recruiting come with levering. Yes. Yeah, as far as the Katana. There are some people bringing it but it is by far less than the bat. And I think that has more to do with the fact that
00:08:42
Speaker
You don't get the quick draw trait until later, whereas the bat was always good. I feel like the katana is only worth a shit if you have martial artists. And it's only a two-pip trait. You can get it easy. But I don't like the katana. I think the katana is tolerable with martial artists. I'll never take it without a martial artist. Yeah.
00:09:12
Speaker
Yeah, it's just one of those things where it's like it. It's not a bad weapon, but it could have been better.
00:09:21
Speaker
I think it's fine where it's at. I think it's perfectly fine to have a weapon. The strike pattern is what it is. If you backstep, you get a swipe. But for the most part, it's the thrust. It's perfectly fine to have a unique pattern of attacks with a melee weapon. I don't have a problem with that.
00:09:43
Speaker
But like you said, I do think it's mainly a if I want a bladed melee weapon, I'll go machete or saber. I feel more comfortable with the machete and the saber. I actually really like taking the combat axe, but for the most part, if you're taking melee, I'm just going to take the bat. Absolutely.
00:10:05
Speaker
And as far as the drilling hand cannon goes I agree with you with People are taking a lot of long ammo and precision, but I think it's also the price Yeah, the price is stopping a lot of guns from being taken more when there are yeah as good or better options for half the price yeah, and well half the price but also like it's what it's like for it's like for something for the
00:10:33
Speaker
drilling hand cannon, which is fine. It's new. It should be a little expensive. I think it's almost less money for you to take an Obraez. Yeah. And an Obraez is tried and true. Yes. We're kind of getting into segment three, so.
00:11:00
Speaker
All right, segment three, topic of the day.
Gaming Mistakes and Victories
00:11:03
Speaker
Bad hunt habits. We all got them. We've all done them. What are some of the bad habits that not necessarily that you've seen? Because like I said, we don't like to keep it negative. We don't want to dunk on people. But like stuff you've done, stuff that's been done while we're playing, like what's some of the bad habits you feel like you have? What are your bad habits in hunt?
00:11:29
Speaker
For getting my throwables Yeah, I've done that I have on many occasions Forgotten. Oh, hey, I can just throw dynamite or a frag to give myself, you know Yeah, some time to get behind cover Yeah, um, I guess we can go tip for tat I feel like I don't utilize cover when I should I
00:11:57
Speaker
Okay, another thing People we do is if we see someone in a window Everyone throws something in the window Even though after the first one they have moved. Yeah another window. I
00:12:18
Speaker
Yeah, well, you know, half of that's just the fun of it where it's, you know, somebody throws a frag bomb in the window and then you're like, and take this while you're at it. And then you just, you throw a, you throw a hellfire up there just for shits and giggles. Yes. Yeah. No, I do. I do agree that it is a, it is a bad, bad.
00:12:38
Speaker
Um, I forget I have a gun sometimes I'll start chasing a dude down and i'll just pull my knuckles out I'm like wait till you turn around i'm gonna punch you right between the eyes And then halfway through the chase i'm like I could have literally shot you four times by now if I had a gun out You know, I would agree with you. However, there was the one game um where
00:13:00
Speaker
you got into a melee fight with a katana and punched him to death and saved the game because the two of us were dead you were the live third and you pulled it out of your ass
00:13:14
Speaker
Yeah. Does the uppercut hurt around the world? It sure was, man. It sure was. Yeah. Well, that's running from, there's a big difference. There's a big difference. There's running from somebody there behind you and you want to turn around almost like you're trying to get a dude in a clothesline.
00:13:35
Speaker
Like if you want to have somebody chasing you and you cut them off on a corner And then when they come around you fucking sock them in the face I I feel like that's not a bad habit. That's just good Strategy like even in this event if you had berserker or something like that
00:13:51
Speaker
That's your whole strategy is just sucking dudes in the face doing double damage. My problem is I will be the aggressor. I will be the chaser. So I'll have my fist charged, which now means I run slower, which now means once I swing my fist, if I miss, I'm SOL. I hope I can hit it with a backup snap jab or something. It's just that that's one habit that really bothers me that I do.
00:14:22
Speaker
I can understand that. That's just something you gotta work on. I mean, yeah, that's a that's a neat thing. Window peaking, window peaking is another bad idea. Yeah, that's we have a strong tendency of there's only two windows. We're in a barn and it's only two windows. We will stand around that window taking turns peaking it, even though
00:14:50
Speaker
one of us, typically me, have already died in the window. And I typically go to the other side and peek the window and die again.
00:15:01
Speaker
Or I, who have no business, because I have no, like, I'm in there packing a shotgun and a new army, I'm like, where's the guy at that you're looking at through the window? I'm like, I have nothing that'll hit this guy. If I hit him with a new army from all the way up here, he's just gonna be laughing at me. So it's like, yeah, no, yeah, we all crowd around the window, like it's three stooges, like you're just expecting to see all three heads pop out one over top of the other. Yes, we do it a lot.
00:15:30
Speaker
Uh-huh. Any other bad habits you could think of? Other bad habits. Repeaking, forgetting you have guns, forgetting you have throwables. Not clearing. So I think over clearing the compound can be an issue. Yes. Where if you'd have kept some stuff alive, you'd have some alarms. A little buffer, yeah. Yeah, you'd have something between you and them.
00:16:00
Speaker
Yeah. Which I tend to
Gameplay Strategies and Tools
00:16:02
Speaker
clear out pretty well before we go in. Yeah. Or while me and the, like, I'll go into the boss lair, the third guy will take up a recon position and you'll start clearing stuff out. Yeah. I'll double tap onto your over clearing. I think shooting every dog kennel is a bad habit.
00:16:29
Speaker
You can just keep moving. The thing will shut up in about two minutes. You can, but I also shoot all the dog kennels. I mean, yeah, but like if we're chasing, if like, if I, if I obviously hear there's, you know, somebody's letting off a bunch of shots with a Mosin one camp up.
00:16:48
Speaker
I'm going to run, please, by all means, shoot the dog kennel. If I hear, like, I'm looking at my map and, like, two compounds over, I hear a bunch of fanning fire and some dynamite. Don't bother with dog kennel. They can't hear it. And within two minutes, the dogs will shut up and will probably be right on their heels. Otherwise, we could just keep taking time shooting dog kennels, and they can have more time to move further away and hear us blowing up fire every two feet.
00:17:19
Speaker
You're absolutely right. My only statement to that is. Fucking dog. Yeah. Fucking dog. Shoot them every time. I love two things. America and hot dog. Yes. Yeah. Yes. I look at the dog kennels as our revenge for the dogs out in the world. Yeah. We have dogs out in the world because they put some in cages for us to enjoy them dying.
00:17:47
Speaker
Yeah, the hell. Yeah, this is all the hellhounds fault. If the hellhounds were better, we wouldn't have to do this to you. If they behaved, we would not be in the situation. Exactly. Oh, yeah. I think taking the knuckle knife before you understand the mechanics.
00:18:07
Speaker
Yes, it's something it's something everybody's done nobody's pointing fingers But uh, I mean i've i've kind of uh, I want to take it every now and again and then I remember I'm I feel better off with the knuckles I miss having a stab, but I feel like i'm better off with the knuckles. But yeah taking the knuckle knife and Squaring up with an emulator It's just a bad look yes, um I
00:18:36
Speaker
Do think it's a weapon where you have to either always bring it or never bring it. Otherwise, there's no in between like tab. Yeah. Yeah, there's there's a butter zone. And once you're in the butter zone, you could stay in the butter zone. Once you're out of the butter zone, you're out. Yeah. Yeah. You can believe it's not butter anymore. Absolutely. You've seen how they made it and it is not butter. Um.
00:19:07
Speaker
I guess grouping up too much. God, yeah. I mean, we've fallen victim to ourselves where we're stacked up too much. Like, if we're stacked up like two dudes and one dude flanking, that's one thing.
Traps and Grouping Risks
00:19:24
Speaker
When it's all three of us marching down in a single file and then shit pops off and we can't get out because we're all blocking each other, goddamn it, nothing upsets me more. Yes.
00:19:37
Speaker
But on the same hand, how many times have we thrown dynamite or a frag and heard like two or three deaths? Yeah, it's a two player. It goes both ways. It's a two-bladed sword.
00:19:49
Speaker
Yeah, it's great when it happens in your favor. It's real bad when all three of you are running through the door at the same time and you're all like move. Yeah, well, that's like life is like that. Trapping, trapping in the wrong area, putting a bear trap down in a shitty spot. Yes, we've we've had to enforce the rule because we've had issues of no traps.
00:20:18
Speaker
in the boss layer. They can be outside and around or blocking the actual door, but you can't have it hidden around a corner because we hit it every time. We hit it every time, but also trap your area. If we're defending a boss layer, inevitably somebody's going to take one half of the room, somebody's going to take the other half of the room, somebody's going to be downstairs doing border control, make sure nobody gets in.
00:20:45
Speaker
Trap your part. Don't come down and trap my part and then run away and then expect me while people are circling to remember where the traps are. If you're trapping, that's your area now. Yes. Going along with trapping, looking for traps.
00:21:06
Speaker
We do not look at the floor enough and we have all died two traps that we would have seen if we stopped and took a second. Oh, yeah. Death traps are the worst because you know, the minute the the Constantine hits you first and then you're just sweating because you're like, shit, the poison's coming. Yeah.
00:21:32
Speaker
All right, we're at about 20 minutes. I didn't think we were going to go this long, but I'm surprised. So do you have anything to close out with? Look, before you jump in a room, there's probably a trap there. When you hear that glass, that's your ass. I want to thank our legendary hunters like we do every week.
00:21:54
Speaker
It's NitroNate, the Ponytail Palm, Malcolm Anderson, Manor von Veldt, OGGamer, Rat329, Mitchell Gertz. Hopefully, you guys are the good hunt habits. Yeah.
Closing Remarks and Gratitude
00:22:11
Speaker
Say the last of your goodbyes. Clutch till next week. Good night, and we'll see you again next week at the same hunt time. Hopefully.
00:22:24
Speaker
I had something and I lost it like halfway through. Yeah, that's the flu coming at you. Burn the bodies, let the fire of them bodies keep you warm in these cold months. You're living a three-star life, but God damn it, I hope you have a six-star week. Ladies and gentlemen, have a good evening. Well, bye. God damn it, I did it backwards.
00:22:56
Speaker
looking. Nobody stands a chance against me and people fucking love me. Fucking awesome.
