Thanks for timestamps
This is why I watch this on CZcams, well, and for the full experience ;)
Get Jackfrags on this pod❤
I don’t think I’ve ever seen JF’s face
@Eskeletor_210 hes a cutie patootie, imo doesn't match the face lol I remember him buzzcut or bald
@@jonathanespinoza4954 huh, he has hair now? I always thought he was just actually bald.
XFACTOR and FRAGS would be dope guests for a ''Squad Up'' Nostalgia Reunion
Jack has even said he listens to the Podcast so it’s totally possible
How do Ubisoft expect us to buy Star Wars Outlaws when we can't even own the game? Remarkable
marketing.....
I guess you won't be playing any digital game then because they are all the same way. When you buy a digital game you buy the license to play it. Usually by downloading the game or playing it you accept the EULA which most games have on their steam page.
51:47 - I believe that is the episode about Vincent Van Gogh from the season that aired in 2010. great episode where the dr and Amy help Vincent try to overcome his depression
If you ever played as an engineer in Barotrauma and enjoyed it, I think you'll have a fun chaotic time in Star Citizen as an engineer. It has a very similar feel to me.
Easy to own everything. Join the pirates!
I hope you realize pirating The Crew would not have done anything different to preserve it. Even a physical copy. Any version of the game is effectively deleted forever. It was always tethered to servers and now that that has been shutdown WITH licenses revoked, there is 0 way to preserve that. Piracy doesn't solve everything in terms of game preservation.
@@Auruchius No idea about that game but I'm sure some genius can make an offline version of it. Everything is possible.
@@Auruchius Mark my words. The Crew will be alive again. Despite the tear down. Enough people get pissed, enough people find a way to bring it back. No need to fear, pirates are not just assholes that "steal". Sometimes they revive.
@@Auruchius youre not wrong but a lot of indie games being annhilated by warner brothers can be preserved for ex
When I was in my mid 20’s/teens this bothered me a lot. Ownership, right? Music, games, software (at the time solidworks). Now? Naaaa. I don’t care. And neither should anyone else. CD’s get scratched, there is an endless supply of new music constantly, games are always coming out, updating, changing. My last two PC’s I built didn’t even have disk drives, because why? I’m completely fine with steam, or epic, ea, Spotify, etc, handling my digital needs. It’s more convenient, I’m getting my time out of them. So value is extracted. If I nuke my hard drive it doesn’t matter. All that stuff is easily retrievable. And in this day and age, if all of that became inaccessible because of an internet outage, well, gaming and music/media is the least of my problems. Of all the things that still concern me about ownership. Games is not one of them. And as fast as tech has always evolved, you almost can’t rely on owning a stand alone copy.
Long story short. This is an area I’m totally fine not owning.
Appreciate your perspective, just sharing my own. Yall have a great weekend and thanks!
Thank you Charlie for this experience.
Vault 76 didn't have an experiment, it was a control vault
if buying your games doesn’t mean you own them then pirating games isn’t stealing either.
The last game I worked on cost $170 mil for a 3-4 year turnaround. They be pricey with spicy consequences
The problem is that we don't require them to be open and transparent about digital rights management. It's buried in a EULA that no one reads nor can most people understand. They need to have a warning when you buy a game if it is online only or has DRM so consumers know what they're getting into.
Wonder how many times he will say star citizen got a massive update. Has to be at least 50 now.
8:16 Pirating has come a long way since the caveman days. These days, we can enjoy all our favorite movies, TV shows, and anime in 1080p, all in one place.
In regards to the crew. Just dont buy ubisoft games until they change their policies on single player games. Cause as it is at the moment is any of their single player games can be taken down by them because it requires internet. Just dont buy ubisoft games, seriously.. save your money. x.x
Planes and combat aircrafts that basically should never go into a dogfight? that is basically 99.9% of all aircraft, including the Air Force main military stealth combat aircraft, the F35.
one game I really wished got preserved was MAG the ps3 planet side sized game. I loved that and I wish we had some modern equivalent.
U can play it now! With PSone multiplayer server emulator, works with ps3 and rspc3
I remember seeing it in a gaming magazine!! I was so disappointed it was only on PS3. That was probs like 15 yrs ago. I got Battlebit now and it fulfilled that itch! Took long enough
On Izonso.. did you guys ever get to play BF1 when they did the back to basics events? "More authentic" type of BF1 experience. Everyone has bolt actions and handguns, I've kinda forgotten what else was different about it but as someone who didn't vibe with BF1 much, I thought B2B was incredible.
That is what I was hoping for in the original over "every thing is a full auto".
my interpretation of “connected” battlefield becoming one title that continues for much longer with different dlc’s like a portal but with a “battlefield 7” build and then in a year a bunch of new guns and maps and setting release. idk maybe not but that’s my first thought
Mat and level back together
I know nothing about Mat's life, nothing. But I do know whenever he looks to his right he is looking towards his life partner/captor. Blink twice mat if you need help
I think the owning of digital games is interesting. When you buy games you don't own them you only own the right to play it. And in some games depending on the EULA for example, Squad they could revoke your right to play it whenever and not tell you why. But by playing the game and downloading it you accepted the terms of the EULA which most people never actually read. I can see why people are mad about the crew but at the same time it's been like 10 years since the game has came out and all online games shut down eventually.
If you want Quake and Overwatch/TF2 in one Lawbreakers was a ton of fun and it was super depressing when it died. It was too shallow and hardcore at the same time. Needed a campaign or story of some sort to bolster the base.
I love some of IP's ubisoft owns, but they have not made anything good in ages. Think its time they go bankrupt.
Mat bot is starting to break down physically. Time to change him 😂
100% agreed regarding cod's dumb focus on their "characters"
Really hope battlefield doesnt fall for that trap.. but the whole obsession with "Marvel Universes" is to blame for that crap
Facts.
Battlefield was and should always be unnamed soldiers in a massive battle. There's no hero's in war.
You say that as if the Bad Company crew wasn't immensely endearing, I wouldn't mind that kind of dynamic back.
@@ghosthand3737 Bad Company has good personality for sure! They aren't just characters
I think that's exactly what they are going to do and break away from the traditional BF settings. just following cod.
Stretching is great! Ive been hanging more lately and it feels real good!
Resume @24:00
The only way to own most games these days is to pirate them. The only way to own anything digital indefinitely IS piracy.
Im calling Morgan and Morgan... I think we got a class action case and Ill be so happy to sue someone lol
“Morgan and Morgan” sounds like a title on PH
1 minute ago is crazy
Next you’re going to tell me everyone will eventually die.
2m level cap bro 👍🏼
Does Marimi0 still make content?
He's still making content..but on Twitch...
@@Jawazplebs 👍
Based tax evasion
First?
So like, I like, cut out every time you gratuitously used the word “like” and like, this podcast was like, 18 minutes long.
Ubishit.
These 2 do not know anything about the crew itself.
The crew base game is 100% offline has a 20+ hour story mode
The DLC was was online.
Be honest with yourself, you don't give two shits about The Crew. You're just happy to have another "reason" to get outraged at Ubisoft.
This is fake outrage from Ubisoft haters. Go look at the steam charts for The Crew. The peak player count for the LAST 3 YEARS is only 314 players, with less than 50 players a majority of those months. People LOVE to cry about the latest Ubisoft headlines but don't actually even care about the games. Let's look at Outlaws as well. The season pass DLC model is over a decade old. It is nothing more than a DLC pre order. There are two planned expansions for Outlaws, and typically a single player DLC expansion is anywhere from $15-$30. So base game, $70, plus season pass, lets say $40, you get the middle ground edition at $110. It is a DLC pre order. As far as the deluxe edition being $130 with some trash cosmetics thrown in, I see that as a stupid tax. How much are typical cosmetics in any game? You arent getting one for less then $20 these days.
So... lets do the math. Base game = $70, Two DLC story expansions pre order = $40 (please Ubisoft, stop calling this a season pass, gamers aren't smart enough to discern differences from a live service) , 3-5 cosmetics = $20. Do you see where the $110 and $130 editions come from now?
If anyone is stupid enough to think those extra items in the $130 edition add anything to the game experience, then they deserve to lose that money. If someone is simply upset that a single exclusive mission is locked behind the DLC pre order, then go ahead and be upset. I would argue these people were never going to buy the game regardless.
Helldivers 2 humour proves that a Bad Company 3 could work! I doubt EA would approve it tho..
