She’s out of line but she’s right.
Steve Bitto
To Micah’s Sort it Out, It’s actually even more egregious with those two games (Days Gone and The Order) because those studios were debuting console AAA IPs after coming from handheld. How TF could you not give them a second chance? For a first swing, those were as solid of foundations as you can hope for. Sort it out PlayStation. Thanks, Steve

Too bad random battles infuriate me :( I played the first few hours of Ochettes story and she's super cute but I just can't do it

Shoutout to Cog for the eternal Phantasy Star love, SEGA forever.

100% agree with Brad and would say that everyone in LSM is capable of playing and beating Elden Ring. I consider myself a pretty unskillful player but playing with a magr build in Elden Ring makes the game so much easier it’s actually insane.

Micah’s Delicious Delicacies. Coined. Brad, don’t compare The Order to Hellblade. 1 is a game and the other “an experience”. 😄 I tried Ryse since Cog always talks about it. Hard quit after that first battle. Don’t know what people see in it. 😅

Micah can buy a replacement battery for her GBA SP which I did the same years ago cause the original battery wouldn't keep a charge for very long.
Mama Micah
Mission accomplished!

I think Micah just solved the “what should we call Metroidvanias” mystery. I will now be referring to them as “spaghetti-map” games from here on out.

The theme for Primrose the dancer is a fucking banger. Octopath has some of the best music in gaming.
Jose
Yeah it's still one of my favorites, but that specific gauntlet in Chapter 3 was far worse than I remember it. And the back-tracking later on is highly unnecessary.
Mama Micah
The feet are the key to it all.
Caleb Peacock
Metroid is a spaghetti-like game.
Jimmy G
Same! I got my PS4 in 2017 and bought this for $4.99. A great “play Saturday morning into the afternoon” kind of game.

Prior to the remake, I would’ve said TTYD was one of my favorite games of all time and a must play. Played it a ton as a kid but haven’t played it since. I’m playing through the Remake now, and even with the QoL updates they’ve added, I can totally see without rose tinted glasses what Micah and Dustin have gripes with. There are certain chapters that feel like they’re padding just because, it does grow tiresome at times. The overall charm and fun I have with the battle system (especially now that my adult brain knows how to break it more easily) still keep this game in its good graces in my mind, but yeah it definitely could be tightened up, which is something I would’ve hoped the Remake would do more of in the first place.

Wooo amazing podcast ! Thanks for reading my question - re the greeting you as “poopsmugglers” I just thought of the dumbest greeting I could to make Yall laugh 🙇🏻♂️

Playing the Elden ring DLC and while the game is okay (still nothing amazing) it feels so damn slow. Also the performance and boss design are fucking abysmal for some of these fights… like the Dancing lion boss thing was more about fighting the damn camera and the frame rate than the fucking boss itself. FromSoft REALLY needs to get their shit together on the performance front because some of this shit is just unacceptable for a developer as highly regarded as they are.

Can't say I've ever thought about my feet whenever I've been too hot or too cold in bed before.

Bro I love that Micah is a fan of The Order 1886! I absolutely love that game and no one ever give it its flowers
Harrison Zlomke
I would LOVE A Lockmort Edit/compilation of Micah’s takes. Get all the evidence in one place so it’s easy to show the jury.
Colin Moriarty
Thanks for reading my question, Brad! I should clarify that I rented The Order: 1886 through Gamefly, so I was completely indifferent to the issue with it being $60. I just think it’s better to leave em wanting more rather than wishing you would go.
Noah Friscopp
The Order is my favorite game that I got for 6 dollars. Loved it.
Forrest Hunter
The Order is such a strange beast. By the end of it, I was really jazzed about a sequel fixing all the issues from the first game.
