00:01:30
Clutch Commander
I'm doing good.
00:01:32
johncat
That's good. It's better than the alternative.
00:01:35
Clutch Commander
Yeah, I was able to finish all my errands and get in before it started pouring so.
00:01:39
johncat
Yeah, it's it's pissing it's pissing rain here in the old Maryland. We'll launch right into segment one. I'm your huckleberry. Just my game. ah What have you been up to?
00:01:58
Clutch Commander
Uh, I have not been up to much. I, um, started playing, uh, dungeon born and reading the Darth Bane trilogy.
00:02:10
johncat
so you picked up dungeon born the but but yeah but well on steam like I'm a console boy but yet so how do you like it um psycho ghost had some some fun things to say about it
00:02:12
Clutch Commander
Yes, it's free. So yes.
00:02:16
Clutch Commander
Yes.
00:02:24
Clutch Commander
Uh, it is definitely a fun game. Um, my USB ports are starting to go bad. So I get, uh, kicked and re it's a pain in the ass and I die a lot to my USB ports going bad more so than me playing bad.
00:02:43
johncat
I believe, well, I think that's just, I mean, I have the same pro, I have, I have basically one, one of three, that's a guarantee, permanent work for USB ports at this point. And I just have a fucking, a USB extender plugged into that one port. So that one port's just working overtime.
00:03:03
Clutch Commander
Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna have to look at an adapter or
Game Mechanics and Strategies
00:03:08
Clutch Commander
something for it.
00:03:08
johncat
Yeah. well
00:03:09
Clutch Commander
But ah it's a fun game.
00:03:09
johncat
and to
00:03:13
johncat
yeah Yeah.
00:03:14
Clutch Commander
um It's different than the other games I've played. I mean, even Hunt, it's more fantasy and much more, ah I want to say, melee focused.
00:03:29
johncat
Melee and like, there is magic and shit in there, but it is a lot of like, it's basically like a game if everybody played a rogue class from like Skyrim.
00:03:32
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:03:38
Clutch Commander
Yes, which I play the rogue.
00:03:40
johncat
Of course, I mean, it's the fun. It's one of the funner classes to play.
00:03:45
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:03:47
johncat
That's fucking nice. I didn't know you picked that one up.
00:03:50
Clutch Commander
Yeah, ah the starting over and losing everything when you die isn't as bad because each class has starting equipment you can just run in with.
00:04:01
johncat
That's good.
00:04:02
Clutch Commander
So it's not like you lose everything and you have to buy everything.
00:04:05
johncat
Yeah.
00:04:07
Clutch Commander
It's no, here's some basic shit. Now go get good shit.
00:04:10
johncat
Yeah, go find your shit.
00:04:13
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:04:15
johncat
Hmm. Nice.
00:04:17
Clutch Commander
um Yeah, it's fun.
00:04:18
johncat
Still no sign on when which fire will make the jump to fucking PlayStation.
00:04:22
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:04:24
johncat
Uh, I'm still hedging my bets on that thing.
00:04:28
johncat
But no, I didn't, I didn't know you picked up dungeon born.
00:04:31
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:04:32
johncat
Nice.
00:04:35
Clutch Commander
Yeah, picked it up, it's fun.
00:04:35
johncat
Um, Yeah, I mean, every video I've seen, it looks it looks great.
00:04:43
Clutch Commander
Yeah, the biggest issue is that there is so Hunt has a very good shadow lighting system, so there's light, shadow the shadow fades into pure darkness.
00:04:54
johncat
Yes.
00:05:00
Clutch Commander
dungeon-borne right now it's either lit up but or not there is no medium
00:05:06
johncat
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. you're You're not playing a dark elf. if You don't have dark vision. Either you're seeing
Family Losses and Funeral Planning
00:05:12
johncat
it or you ain't seeing shit.
00:05:14
Clutch Commander
yes which is a pain in the ass when half the enemies are waist-high and you have to go you have to crouch in order to make sure you hit them um so just slight pain in the ass but it's still fun
00:05:21
johncat
Yeah.
00:05:24
johncat
but Yeah. Yeah, no. I mean, if the game is fun, the pain in the ass is worth it. The juice is worth the squeeze if it's it's a huge pain in the ass.
00:05:33
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:05:35
Clutch Commander
No, it's definitely worth it. i'm I'm not upset from what I have played, which is not a whole lot, but it's it's fun.
00:05:37
johncat
Nice.
00:05:44
Clutch Commander
It's entertaining.
00:05:46
johncat
Perfect.
00:05:47
johncat
Well, i've had a I've had a doozy of a week.
00:05:48
Clutch Commander
What about you?
00:05:51
johncat
So we we'll have a we' have a brief moment of silence as John Katz Sr. has as disconnected from the server.
00:05:51
Clutch Commander
I've i heard
00:06:02
johncat
he is My father is not with us any longer. I got, I got the call Monday night. So we'll have a brief moment of silence. Hopefully a truncate silence doesn't get rid of this, but a moment of silence.
00:06:16
johncat
la
00:06:20
johncat
oh
00:06:23
johncat
That's good enough. Um, yeah, tough week, tough week. Yeah.
00:06:31
Clutch Commander
yeah
00:06:31
johncat
Yeah, he he checks out. ah He he passed away, I think the six. And then when we look at the grand scheme of things, he went on Monday, the six. My mom passed away on the eighth.
00:06:49
johncat
Back in twenty seventeen and my birthday is the ninth. So basically next year from the first to the 10th, I'm just locking myself in a fucking room because this week is cursed.
00:07:00
johncat
I don't want anybody talking to me, and if anybody comes in here to try to yank me out of here, it's just going straight fucking... You better square up, Jack. Uh, but yeah.
00:07:15
Clutch Commander
I didn't realize your whole August is just not great.
00:07:18
johncat
Fucked.
00:07:19
Clutch Commander
Yeah, fuck.
00:07:20
johncat
Fucked.
00:07:21
johncat
Yeah. And now I'm in like a tight jam because, uh, the whole thing revolves around, um, He had a bunch of fucking medical problems, one of which was he had cancer on his fucking face. So when it came time to decide what to do with the body, I was like, don't nobody want to look at that at a funeral. And in addition, I don't nobody want to look at that at the funeral. um If I was him, I'd want that vessel fucking nuked. I don't want that thing living in perpetuity in the ground. So we were like, cremation would be the best thing, probably, and then we'll bury the urn.
00:07:21
Clutch Commander
Shit.
00:07:58
johncat
and the veteran cemetery. Well, we don't get that earn. We haven't been cremated. We'll get the ashes back in like two weeks.
00:08:08
Clutch Commander
Jesus.
00:08:08
johncat
Yeah, so I have two weeks before I can make any kind of plans for a funeral. I have two weeks before I get any kind of death certificates from him, which means all of his financial affairs, all of that kind of shit.
00:08:24
johncat
That's all, i I just have to sit and live with that for two weeks. And then in addition to that, him and my mother made wills that we don't know where they are. And in Maryland, you don't have to fucking give the register of wills shit until they die. So that means they had wills made. We don't know where they are. And technically they didn't have to turn them into anybody. So like they're in his house somewhere, but his house is like a huge food shithole.
00:08:57
Clutch Commander
Uh, I mean, does it matter if you don't find it?
00:08:59
johncat
So it's one thing after another. it does it does it No, it doesn't matter at all. based Basically, like I know the finer points of like what what my parents wanted, like as far as divvying up like house, house, and money and stuff.
00:09:15
johncat
so like
00:09:16
Clutch Commander
Okay.
00:09:17
johncat
When it comes time to do that, I have a, I have a fairly good grasp, but I'm making the right choices. But, um, I mean, I'm still looking because it would be a hell of a thing just to find the will.
00:09:22
Clutch Commander
okay
00:09:27
johncat
And then my fucking hands are clean for making any kind of decisions.
00:09:30
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:09:33
johncat
ah Yeah, no more.
00:09:34
Clutch Commander
Then no one can blame you.
00:09:35
johncat
Well, I don't think I blame whoever the fuck they want. I'm just going to be in the back of the room.
00:09:41
johncat
Fucking letting them have it.
00:09:43
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:09:44
johncat
But, uh, it's enough of me. Let's get off the pity train. Let's just write in the segment too. How are you not dead? I have no idea. We have been getting taken to the woodshed off and on. It's either we're striking hot fire or we're just getting fucking blasted in the first compound. Uh, do you have any gameplay that's really been standing out for you lately?
00:10:10
Clutch Commander
Well, it's less that we're getting blasted in the first compound. And it just seems like either everyone is spawning closer or everyone appears to be getting to the same point at the same time.
Challenges and Triumphs in 'Hunt: Showdown'
00:10:25
johncat
Yeah.
00:10:25
Clutch Commander
And we are not ah we can play from the back foot if it's one team, one team, one team.
00:10:35
Clutch Commander
We're not always the best at.
00:10:35
johncat
yeah
00:10:39
johncat
Yeah, getting, getting, you know, third and fourth and fifth partied.
00:10:40
Clutch Commander
three or four teams at once and going back and forth. Yeah.
00:10:43
johncat
Yeah. Yeah, I think we've definitely gotten pinched a couple times.
00:10:46
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:10:48
johncat
Like I think there was one time at Blanchett where we were doing OK fighting the team in the boss layer. And then right behind us, we got third teamed. And as we're trying to rotate around to get third teamed, there's people coming in from the water.
00:11:02
johncat
So like we're just we're literally surrounded and we're just trying to deal with the people in the boss layer. And we're just getting fucking jacked up because nobody's fighting each other. Everybody's just fighting us because we're the dickheads running around outside.
00:11:15
Clutch Commander
Yes, we are very good at being in the middle of a fight and just being in the middle of the fight. um We are very good at 90 degrees of handling the situation.
00:11:22
johncat
Yeah. Which. Yeah.
00:11:30
Clutch Commander
Once it gets more than 90, our odds go less and less and less.
00:11:30
johncat
Well. Well, I also feel like we charge. We get to Guinea and we charge, which is usually our downfall because like. um We can use this one for a good example for our gameplay segment. We had the one fight in. Lower to Sal is the one with the with the bar.
00:11:53
Clutch Commander
Yes.
00:11:53
johncat
Upper DeSalle's the courthouse, lower DeSalle's the bar.
00:11:56
Clutch Commander
Yep.
00:11:57
johncat
So we're we're in the saloon and um we're fucking, we're laying people out. like Like teams are coming like one at a time. And then there's people throwing Constantina traps.
00:12:09
johncat
people are People are coming up, they're hitting bear traps. Like we're we're holding tough all the way to the end. And there's a team of It might've been one solo and a duo. It might've been a team of three. They were spread out pretty far on the dark side, but we managed to get them down to one guy left and we charge the one guy, but we're all basically one taps. Cause we've all been put down and picked up so many times. And then it proceeds that like we're charging this guy and all it takes is like hip fire from a winny and all three of us each shit.
00:12:47
johncat
And I'm like, we should have really just, we should have held our ground, kept burning bodies. We'd never should have charged that guy or we should have, chart we should have played from range. We should have made him make the first move, but we all got bloodlust and we're like, no, fuck it. He's going now. And I think like that, that that's kind of our downfall is we get a little bit too, uh, we get a little bit too much bloodlust and we just go charging right into the fray.
00:13:12
johncat
Your thoughts.
00:13:15
Clutch Commander
Yeah, we we definitely i we definitely charge too much, but it's.
00:13:21
johncat
It pays off sometimes, but I'm just saying sometimes we do it and it's very clearly the wrong time.
00:13:29
Clutch Commander
Yes, we're still learning the right and wrong time to charge.
00:13:32
johncat
I need to learn and curve.
00:13:36
Clutch Commander
Yep.
00:13:37
johncat
I mean, sometimes we're all killing, we're all, I mean, Christ, we had that one match. I kept picking you up, which was a change. And I was just smoking dudes left and right, which was very awkward. Cause usually I'm the one sitting there watching your gamer stream with my mic muted, just like fucking.
00:13:59
johncat
that ah go a jo And you know, it's a change when it's the other way and you're like, you got guys to the left and right guys to the left and right.
00:14:13
Clutch Commander
Well, I mean you definitely kept focus and they for some unknown reason could not miss me to save their lives.
00:14:19
johncat
Yeah, yeah, I don't know if it was if I was like hanging out in a bush or what but yeah You you were eating some dirt that that game Yeah,
00:14:27
Clutch Commander
Yeah, man, they could not miss me, but i I was coaching you from the sideline like a champ.
00:14:30
johncat
I think it was another game where we got like third parties real hard there at the end But there was one of it was one of those games were like by the end I'm not a good like I can't solo for shit and by the time we got to the end the kill count was like five or six and I'm like gosh
00:14:34
johncat
yeah i think it was another game where we got like third parties real hard there at the end but there was one of it was one of those games where like by the end i'm not a good like i can't solo for shit and by the time we got to the end the kill count was like five or six and i'm like I look like Clark Griswold when he jumps the car off the, the expressway in the first movie and his son's like, dad, I think that's like 30 feet.
00:14:59
johncat
And he's like trying to correct him until he turns his back to him and he's like, hell yeah, 30 feet.
00:15:04
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:15:04
johncat
And it was, it was the same thing where I'm like fucking six. And then I mute my um headset and I'm like fucking six. It's looking good.
00:15:15
johncat
Oh yeah.
00:15:18
johncat
Great. Now, now your fucking stinger's broken. Here we go. Uh, my rash of stone cold sound clips is now eating up the soundboard.
00:15:28
Clutch Commander
That's fine. They're good.
00:15:30
johncat
Yep. Fucking. With one beer, two beers, three beers, a shadow whiskey, a margarita.
00:15:42
johncat
Yeah. I, I, I got bored one night when I finally fixed it. Just added them. But ah let's go right in into segment three, because we're about 16 minutes.
00:16:00
johncat
All right, on this illustrious ah afternoon, we're about a week out. We're six days away from 1896. It's a new year, new us. Let's go over some shit that we've we've been shown lately, because we really haven't had an episode since we started doing developer updates.
00:16:17
johncat
And since we did our last episode, we've gotten some fucking updates, Jack.
00:16:23
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:16:24
johncat
ah We've seen the map.
00:16:26
Clutch Commander
And it looks beautiful.
00:16:28
johncat
Beautiful. The mines are fucking outrageous. The bats, the fact that they went from birds to bats, it's fucking that's like genius.
00:16:36
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:16:38
johncat
I i wouldn't have thought of that.
00:16:41
Clutch Commander
Um.
00:16:44
Clutch Commander
So with them doing minds, it's the next, what do we put that's in a mind that's not birds because they're not going to mind.
00:16:50
johncat
It is. it Yeah.
00:16:52
Clutch Commander
So it's one of those where it's a great idea. I like the fact that they only put them at the entrances and exit so that, you know, you don't have random bats going below you and you're like, well, what the fuck good does that do me?
00:17:00
johncat
yeah
00:17:04
johncat
Yeah, no, but I the like they could have just put. Crowds of birds are like canaries they could have done something it's a mine. They could have done something with the assets they already have in the fact that they were like no no no. We're gonna put bats that have a different like. they're They're very clearly a different sounding animal they're all screechy instead of horses now we have cows and shit.
00:17:29
Clutch Commander
Yeah, I do hope that in the mines they have Something so that if you're hunting a team in the mines, you can go. Oh, they're that way All for what good that'll do No,
00:17:41
johncat
I think the, but I think, no, I think the bats are, I think they're throughout the mine. I don't think they're at the, uh, I've only seen the videos where it's like Rokta or Vombus, like talking about, I didn't, I didn't watch one with the actual developer.
00:17:49
Clutch Commander
I heard they were just at the entrances and exits and
00:17:57
Clutch Commander
Mm hmm.
00:18:00
johncat
Um, I think the altitude changes are nice for sniping.
00:18:05
Clutch Commander
Yes.
00:18:06
johncat
Not that we snipe a lot, but I, it's like, I,
00:18:09
Clutch Commander
Well, there was that one game where I got the sparks with the scope
Excitement for New Maps and Updates
00:18:14
johncat
Yeah. Pretty good. Yeah.
00:18:14
Clutch Commander
and it worked out really well for us until I needed a shotgun and nobody had shotguns for some reason.
00:18:22
johncat
Yeah. But, but even then, like, I like playing against the sniper. I like moving from cover to cover. I like the opportunity of getting in close. I like, I like throwing up a bunch of, uh, fire out of a, you know, a fucking, uh, Nagant officer. I like throw just spam in the fire button for cover while you run it. Like, I like that.
00:18:43
johncat
that that gameplay of trying to outwit a sniper.
00:18:48
Clutch Commander
Yeah, i I think with the way the sniping spots are and how it is kind of open in between cover, but there is still a lot of cover. I think constant Tina bombs will become bigger because you can't shoot through those.
00:19:04
johncat
I think Constantine and I also think um choke bombs would, too, because with the smoke pattern, it does make it difficult to like getting an exact read on what you're aiming at.
00:19:17
Clutch Commander
Yes, and I think they might, I think because flash bombs have become so weak, I think they may do a like five or 10 second smoke bomb where you just throw a smoke bomb and it doesn't stop any fires, but it does just five seconds, 10 seconds of this area where you can't see through it.
00:19:18
johncat
Like it gives you a little bit of cover.
00:19:26
johncat
Yeah.
00:19:45
johncat
I mean, they could just do that with the with the flash bomb, too.
00:19:50
Clutch Commander
The flash bomb is more ranged, like they would increase.
00:19:50
johncat
They could make.
00:19:53
Clutch Commander
I want something where a sniper, two compounds away, can't see me.
00:19:59
johncat
Yeah, I'm sure they got something coming. um people People are going to be ripping this game. People are going to be ripping this map apart like. within the first, like once the couple hot fixes are in and we're actually playing good games and we're not bitching about the bugs, like people are going to rip this and we only have this map for a month.
00:20:18
Clutch Commander
well we
00:20:18
johncat
Well, not what this is.
00:20:19
Clutch Commander
have this map for a month and it's only this map.
00:20:22
johncat
That that's what I meant. Not that we only have the map for a month, but that we have only this map for a month.
00:20:29
Clutch Commander
Yes, and I'm very happy that it's the first month is just the new map, so everyone has time to get used to it like they are in the other maps.
00:20:30
johncat
Yeah.
00:20:39
johncat
Yeah. Yeah. And we're all going to be on the same footing. Nobody's going to have like a one to one where they, they know exactly everything up front. Like it's going to be fucking huge.
00:20:51
Clutch Commander
Mm hmm.
00:20:52
johncat
Um, uh, we got the new boss coming fucking hell born new roaming boss.
00:20:56
Clutch Commander
New roaming boss. Yeah, he's Roman.
00:20:59
johncat
Uh, I think, I, I think they're using roaming ball. Like, I think he's just going to be like a tankier meathead.
00:21:07
Clutch Commander
Yes, but he's like the crocodile. He's a roaming boss.
00:21:09
johncat
Yes. Yes. Yeah. and Yeah. I know what you're saying. Yeah. And we get it. We get the one clue when we banish him and stuff.
00:21:13
Clutch Commander
Mm hmm.
00:21:16
johncat
Um, I'm surprised nobody said in the video whether or not a couple choke, a couple choke errors is going to shut this motherfucker down or not.
00:21:25
Clutch Commander
ah I would like it not it could do a bunch of damage like poison clouds But I don't want you know one choke bomb and he's dead Yeah Yeah, I'd be okay with something like that
00:21:32
johncat
that Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no, I imagine it would do the effect of like a choke bomb to or like a poison ah poison cloud to to the butcher.
00:21:48
johncat
ah
00:21:51
johncat
Yeah, the they I mean, all the compounds look great. I love the I mean, the the new map just looks insane.
00:21:57
Clutch Commander
Yeah, the water everything they they definitely went all out on this map So excited, you know Yeah, man you you You you long-range snipers are gonna have to learn to deal with the bullet drop where else was us crossbow We're already used to that drop.
00:22:01
johncat
How about that dead eye crossbow?
00:22:06
johncat
Fucking shop bolts are gonna be ripping left and right.
00:22:19
johncat
yeah Yeah. Yeah, I didn't get bullet drop until I was already a man. And then it was blinding. Yeah, no, I i i think ah there's, I mean, like with everything.
00:22:35
johncat
ah You read Reddit, you read Facebook. People are bitching left and right because there's always a bunch of sour sallies. They're bitching about how Crytek's gonna fuck the game up. I keep it, I try and keep it as positive as I can on this show. This new next gen update, everything they're doing for 1896 has me fucking pumped.
00:22:58
Clutch Commander
Yes, same. i'm I have not been upset at anything I've seen.
00:23:04
johncat
No. I mean, the fact that we're leading into it with with not only an event, but Twitch drops like at the same time. So.
00:23:16
johncat
I'll take some fucking Twitch drops.
00:23:17
johncat
I love some free shit. Event, I love an event. And it'll get us right on track to start the fucking new game off.
00:23:17
Clutch Commander
Right here.
00:23:28
johncat
Yeah, I can't.
00:23:29
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:23:29
johncat
um Yeah, that's I mean, to cut you off, I just can't wait.
00:23:33
Clutch Commander
You're fine. um We're both very excited for it. And it's, you know, a week or so away.
00:23:40
johncat
Yeah, six days, baby. um In closing, is there anything that ah you've seen? Well, no, we could go over real quick the packs for the event.
00:23:53
johncat
I think they're fucking in their ingenious as hell. I love you.
00:23:59
Clutch Commander
I think some of them are better than others.
00:24:02
johncat
I like the changes to surefoot or the the new surefoot one where you can sprint while you're while you have a primed throwable or while you're using first aid.
00:24:05
Clutch Commander
Yes.
00:24:14
johncat
How many times have you been trying to run away while you're wrapping a band-aid getting shot in the ass?
00:24:19
Clutch Commander
Yes. Yes, sure for it definitely seems good. Peacekeeper and Berserker being the same, you know. I get there the popular ones, and you gotta to bring them, but...
00:24:32
johncat
Well, no. Peacekeeper. That's the law. That's the law. Get the lawful pact that gives you you a health chunk when you're. um Yeah, berserker is just a boost of melee damage.
00:24:41
Clutch Commander
Yes. When you looted Dead Hunter.
00:24:45
Clutch Commander
More melee.
00:24:47
johncat
Yeah, there's you mean that they're exactly the same as they were in the last event?
00:24:47
Clutch Commander
Yes. Yes.
00:24:50
johncat
Yes. Yeah. But I mean, I like that plan of we'll give you one new pact. And we'll try out some new shit in the new pact.
00:25:02
Clutch Commander
I get it and I like it too. I wish, you know, unless, unless we keep getting events where we have new traits, I think they should be trying out more than just one thing and seeing how it works.
00:25:17
johncat
Well I think they they're trying some new shit with this one where it's like, um, Vigilant gives you a double the range of Dark Sight.
00:25:27
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:25:28
johncat
Like, I i like the shit out of that. Frontiersman gives you extra pledge marks for the first 30. Like, I like Frontiersman already cause because it gives me extra shit.
00:25:39
johncat
Now it's gonna give me extra pledge marks.
Gameplay Balancing and Preferences
00:25:42
Clutch Commander
Yes, but I don't know. I wish there was a little more to it.
00:25:45
johncat
I like ghoul I'd like that ghoul's gonna give you ah when you when you fucking heard a boss or a wild target so that means like when you do damage to the hellborn or fucking scrap beak or whatever you're healing like I'm
00:26:04
Clutch Commander
Yep.
00:26:06
johncat
I think that I think they do OK. I feel like now they've gone less like ah we're going to give you goofy shit and we're just going to so throw it in. the We're going to throw spaghetti at the wall, too. I think sure foot is a I could see sure foot sticking around after the event.
00:26:25
johncat
um You know, I'd love it if Berserker stuck around to some extent.
00:26:25
Clutch Commander
Yeah, I could too.
00:26:33
Clutch Commander
um
00:26:34
johncat
That's just because I use the fuck out of me. I'm a melee guy. Usually it's a fucking wind field and a bat wind field, a sword, a fucking Springfield, a katana.
00:26:37
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:26:42
johncat
Like i'm I'm just a melee guy.
00:26:46
Clutch Commander
Yeah, and I get why they would want to.
00:26:50
Clutch Commander
um
00:26:50
johncat
I mean, they they won't. I'm just saying I'd like it if they did.
00:26:53
Clutch Commander
and I get why you would want them to.
00:26:54
johncat
Yeah.
00:26:57
Clutch Commander
I also want them to up the melee damage four against bosses because it's getting to where our bats and knives aren't doing enough against bosses and they're taken they're taking a lot longer than I think they should.
00:27:19
johncat
Yeah, I think there needs to be a little bit of balancing there. I do like that they've become a chore to take down.
00:27:26
Clutch Commander
Like I'm not.
00:27:26
johncat
But now it's becoming a bit more of a chore than it should.
00:27:30
Clutch Commander
Yeah, I get like knuckles, not, you know, the knife and the sword.
00:27:34
johncat
Yeah, throwing axes.
00:27:35
Clutch Commander
But if I'm bringing the bat, the Katana, the anything that takes up a weapon slot should do more to a boss than, you know, my knuckle knife.
00:27:38
johncat
Yeah.
00:27:43
johncat
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:27:47
Clutch Commander
But they're doing ah they're doing close enough to the same words. Kind of upsetting.
00:27:53
johncat
I mean, I feel like they're close. Like it it just needs like one little bouncing tweak and I think they're right where they need to be. But yes, it does feel like I'm kind of, you know, ice skating up hills as Wesley Snipes would say sometimes.
00:28:04
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:28:06
Clutch Commander
Yeah, you shouldn't be hitting it with a bat and I'm punching it with knuckles and we're doing the same amount and it feels that we are.
00:28:11
johncat
Yeah. Yeah, I could dig it.
00:28:16
Clutch Commander
No, other than that, I think they're in a great spot. um I'm more of a bringing a spear and throwing it at people and hoping for the best.
00:28:24
johncat
That's, I mean, that's pretty much been my loadout for the past few weeks since we got the spear.
00:28:30
Clutch Commander
Yeah. it's It's still fun. You still see it all the time on console.
00:28:34
johncat
It's great. Yeah. A PC players, uh, chime in on Instagram, but I'm telling you right now on console, we some spear throwing motherfuckers. They're they're getting thrown.
00:28:45
johncat
We're stabbing each other with them. It's, it's fucking nuts.
00:28:49
Clutch Commander
ah It's the Wild West, but with spears.
00:28:51
johncat
Yeah, it is bananas. Like it's either arrows or spears, but somebody's chucking a hunk of wood through a window.
00:28:57
Clutch Commander
Yep. And sometimes there's poison left over afterwards.
00:28:58
johncat
Um, uh, yeah, we, we'll, we'll, we'll go into that one next episode when we do our finale for season one.
Closing Remarks and Listener Engagement
00:29:10
johncat
Um, is there anything you want to say on the way out? We've, we've kind of hit, hit the big notes about the new, the new map and bosses and stuff.
00:29:19
Clutch Commander
