My husband and I attended the Fallout/Elder Scrolls concert several years ago and were blown away. We were in the balcony and I looked down and saw Rob and Hollie right below us, sadly didn’t get a chance to say hello!
I like to think that you had a random sighting of Rob and the stars in Sovngarde aligned in that same moment so Skyrim naturally started playing in the background.
I've put 80 hours into Rise of the Ronin and absolutely loved it. Got the platinum. I've just started my FF7 journey with Remake, and I've got Rebirth, Stellar Blade and Black Myth Wukong to look forward to this year. So many games, so little time.
Absolutely love hearing Rob talk about Final Fantasy Rebirth, can't wait to watch Dave finish playing the OG for many Mondays to come.
damn how many mondays do you think ?
Helldivers 2 and Dave the Diver have been a lot of fun for me! They would be my games of the year
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for me Kupo 🥰
FFVII Rebirth is my personal favorite. I love Helldivers 2 and I probably play it more than I play Rebirth but HD2 is more of a Candycrush like game, it’s fun to pick up and play but you won’t remember much of it since the craziness kinda wears off.
Rebirth is that game you’ll remember playing for a long time, filled with wonderful characters, music and gameplay, it’s really like a LotR book.
Rebirth, persona 3 reload, like a dragon infinite wealth, stellar blade and Helldivers 2.
Are my top games. Probably with ff7 on top. But persona 3 is also one of my all time favourite games.
But so is rebirth.
For real, so much gaming goodness!
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. My favourite game in the last decade.
Loved hearing about the video game music concerts.
I'm going to see "Video Games Music in Concert" at the end of the month with my boyfriend in Glasgow, conducted by Eímear Noone. So looking forward to it!
Hey Access, I'm pursuing a career in classical music myself, and I just want to say a massive thank you for your shout out to that genre and experience. It's good to know that people still do think it's special and a worth while experience. Much love and thanks!
3:29 rebirth needs something like that. Best vidro game music.
There is a Rebirth one in London at Royal albert hall in October
They're currently doing a world tour for Rebirth.
I love the way Dave looks at Rosie when she is gushing over games
If you forced my hand right now I would say my GOTY list includes (in no particular order): Helldivers 2, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, Tales of Kenzera: Zau, Stellar Blade, Dragons Dogma and Rise of the Ronin.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is my GOTY. I am going to watch the Orchestra concert in September, can't wait!
I’m going in August, so excited!
My ticket is for November!
Me too!! See u in Singapore!
I believe the "sicko swimsuit" that Rosie is trying to describe is the notorious "Banana Hammock" 😂
Wish I'd known about the Elden Ring Symphonic Adventure! ... I would have loved to have been there
Im getting a slight vibe that Rob liked FF7 Rebirth…
Are you sure about that? I don’t know, Rob just seems so nonplussed about the game? 😜
Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth is the top game for me this year, the emotional attachment i've had for the past 18 years with that franchise came full circle and i loved it, i sure am going to miss Kiryu dearly (my favourite game franchise of all time)
the game releases have been incredible so far this year. Very tough choice between FF7 Rebirth and Stellar Blade, loved them both.
You’ve caught me being distracted by Robs massive calves. Well done.
My top 3 so far are Prince of Persia the Lost Crown, Stellar Blade and Animal Well
I really wanna get around to Rebirth but just haven't found the time, maybe in the summer
stellar blade is hands down my personal goty. close second is dragon's dogma 2
FF7 Rebirth for me too, but it is the only 2024 game I've played so it's an easy pick. Maybe the FF7 streams could continue after Dave's finished the OG 😉
Also have to agree about the video game concerts. Went to Distant Worlds a couple years ago and it was incredible! Live orchestral music really is really special ❤
Stellar Blade 🔥🔥
Helldivers 2 is my GOTY so far, haven't had that much fun with a multiplayer game in years!
Dave The Diver and probably Helldivers 2
I love you guys!! Great podcast as always.
ooo wow! thanks for the "Another Crab's Treasure" shoutout! it looks good! i'll give it a go!
AWESOME PODCAST. Love these three!
REBIRTH & stellar blade.
I was never interested in orchestral music until Evanescence released Synthesis, which is some of their biggest songs rerecorded for an orchestra and now I love listening to the Final Fantasy VII Remake sound track. My favourite game of 2024 so far is either Final Fantasy VII Rebirth or Persona 3 Reload. I was able to get the platinum in the latter but attempting the platinum for Rebirth has me convinced I'll never get it.
Stellar blade; sandLand, FF7, rise of the ronin are up there. Took my parents and brother to "video games live" concert when the wii was launched. They didnt know what they got themselves into. Coming out they absolutely loved it, even not knowing the games/songs
I’ve also seen Gustavo live at the Game Awards Concert and can confirm it’s every bit as special as Rob says
Madison vr is awesome
For me Yakuza infinite wealth
and Helldivers 2 are my favourite this year
Apparently I'm a Rob, because these two would have been my exact #1 and #2 too. What a year it has already been!
i love how Rosie asked what happened when Dave talked about it as if she wasn't there
Love the pod and the gang for another top Ep.
Another great pod!
Always a nice treat to crack a bevvy to on a warm morning🍺 cheers for these!
Rebirth hands down no question
0:43 Havent tried tekken 8 and stellar blade yet, helldivers is decent with friends. Thus far rebirth takes the cake for me.
My game of the year so far is Persona 3 Reload. Currently playing P4G. Thinking about getting SMT3 this weekend.
To the guys the LONGEST yakuza games will have you bumping towards 100 hours. But the shorter ones can be be done in 25-30 on a basic playthrough. I started with 0 in August of 2022 and I was done with the entire series to that point by the end of November.. And yes I was working at the same time 😂 obviously I didn't 100% them
Haven't played every game I would like to so far this year (haven't played FFVII Rebirth, Rise of the Ronin and Dragon's Dogma 2), but so far I've really enjoyed Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Animal Well and Senua's Saga: Hellblade II. Well, plus loads of retro PS1 stuff. :P
Edit: And Rosie, if you liked Crow Country, you should check out Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. It's not on PS yet, but it's amazing. The puzzles are pretty hard, but very rewarding. Pen and paper a must.
The Lost Crown is wonderful!
Loving everybody vibing in their summer gear
So far? It’s gotta be Dragons Dogma 2
Mine is between ff7R and dragons dogma 2
Stellar Blade😮
Everything about Persona seems great I just wish they would make the characters college age or something because I'm not into romancing children or being a child romancing his teacher
DAVE!!
Next new video series: Dave plays Like A Dragon with Rosichiban!
I can't wait to finally go to the Sonic Symphony. I heard that 'Escape From The City' was an encore
I'd love to see a video game music concert. However, just like with other concerts I would only want to go if it's something I really am a fan of. Like, I wouldn't go to see a band that I only know and like a few songs of - I really have to be into them to actually enjoy a whole concert. And the same for video games - it can't just be anything I happen to have played.
I’m such a nerd and went to a Doctor Who concert! That was unbelievable! I would LOVE to go to a video game concert! I love so much of the music in video games! One game of recent time is BG3! Honestly I must look into some!
What a fun time that was.
Ff7 rebirth and Helldivers 2!!
So glad you mentioned FF7 Rebirth Rob - I mean, it was presumed!
Always enjoy you talking about the FF series.
EDIT: Also, best of luck with Hard Mode!
I haven’t really been into podcasts but this one was very engaging to listen to. I love to hear people’s takes on GOTY.
Rob you'll be glad to know there's already a chocobo racing game on ps1!
What boots is Rosie wearing?
I, too, would love to know this. They look so cool!!
Helldivers 2 should win best multiplayer game of the year 😍 What a game, what an experience with 4 friends all maxed out, Helldiving on the hardest difficulty (so happens to be Helldive) & when everything is in sync, its jolly co-operation & baddasery 😍🤩💪🔥🔥
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is top for me. I finished it yesterday and it’s just incredible. Persona 3 Reload is my runner-up
haha Rob is right, need to take care for the next 3 or 4 years 😅
I know I've found a good podcast when it makes me wish I had your job(s)!
Rob mentions Metal Gear Solid tally
I love the way Dave says he’ll give Banishers a go.
It’s like he’s just succumbed to being the willing crash test dummy (no offence Dave) for horror. 🤣
Nath & Rob clearly desensitised him over the years.
Definitely Stellar Blade for me🔥🔥
I thought the quiz was going to be a real-time version of the tale of the turtle and the hare, but it was not to be lol
Unicorn Overlord for me
For me so far nothing. Maybe Steam World Heist 2 when it comes out. Other than Another Code Recollection on Switch, been retro or 2022/2023 PS4/Switch. Niche, big games have been eh.
It's funny you mention liking ROTR because it's more approachable, because this it the reason many people who loved Nioh and team ninja don't like it, it's just so scaled down, Nioh's combat is amazing 😔. I do like that new players are loving a team ninja game though, I hope this is their only scaled down game snd they go back to Nioh combat
I'm a dad right, limited rpg time so I'm still on baldur's gate 😬
Helldivers 2 for this year.
For democracy!
FF7 rebirth easy winner atm
Final fantasy 7 Rebirth. Done. Next question?
Animal Well
Are you talking about animal well?
rise of the ronin
VII Rebirth.
Period. Nothing else comes close.
Agreed.
Helldivers 2 is the best game to be released in the past decade.
FF7 Rebirth. Nothing comes close, for me. Waiting another three years for the next part is gonna be torture.
Rebirth without question.
GB FANTASY RELINK
REBIRTH
Stellar blade & helldivr 2.
Rebirth easily, its not even close. Theres been some decent games so far this year, but nothing touches Rebirth. Its in a class of its own
FFVII Rebirth is by far the best game released so far.
I agree with Dave. Helldivers 2 is amazing. I can’t stop playing it and it’s hurt my time with Ronin, Dragons Dogma and Stellar Blade. Every time I sign in I think to myself, “ok only two runs then get back to the other games.” Three hours later, still fighting for democracy.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Not even close. I finished it about 2 months ago and still being euphoric until now.
#podsquad what game for the rest of 2024 are you most exited for
Rob's complete change of personality since Ash has left, don't believe go watch the older pods, he sits there in a strop
Definitely ff 7 rebirth
FFVII Rebirth ... Nothing else comes close.
For me it’s Hades 2. Even if it’s early access, there’s more content in it than in the final version of Hades. It’s so so good.
Rebirth rebirth and rebirth
Easy - it's... Rise of the Ronan. GOTY.
There’s only one correct answer to this question and we all know what it is. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. End of discussion. Podcast Episode Over. We’re Done Here. See You Next Week.
Lol lord no, it's become a dull, tedious sidequest simulator
@@MorrisseyMuse I disagree wholeheartedly.
I couldn’t agree more with you, I’ve never been more addicted to a game than I was with Rebirth.
As much as I agree on a personal level (FF7 R by a mile for me).
I see FF7 as a game that had its cultural moment back in 1997.
However, Helldivers 2 seems to be the game that is having a cultural moment this year.
fully agree. So far, my GoTY.
Stellar Blade , every woman must equal
???
Helldivers 2 End of discussion
why even play a game if you'r not going 4 the plat
Helldivers 2 was fun, but not if you live in one of the 100+ countries it was delisted by Sony.
Only applies if you didn't buy it before that
Was that decision not reversed?
The only truly great, fun game I've played or seen this yes is Dragon's Dogma 2. I feel like it's been a poor year for games overall
