My attention wandered for a second and I heard Rob say "Im going to stream one handed" and I suddenly feared that Nikki had taken a turn to THAT kind of anime game

This franchise is known for going onto almost Kojima-level off-tangents. Without spoilers, here are some themes the previous two games dealt with within their stories - copyright infringement, bullying, class division, ACAB, colonialism, child soldiers, human trafficking, illegal human experimentation, effectiveness of propaganda, long-term effects of psychological trauma, political coups, civil wars, ethnic cleansing, religious fascism, world wars, genocide, existential nihilism, Asimov's laws of robotics, fermi paradox. So far, game's grind is just about finding and crafting outfits for the styling battles (with Sovereigns basically being pokemon gym leaders), which is barely connected to most of the content overall.

I enjoyed the game quite a bit and have beaten the current main story without spending any money with very little friction. I did spend five bucks or so on an outfit (not from the gacha mechanic). Exploring and taking vacation pictures everywhere is genuinely fun. The dialogue while sometimes funny (the story goes some weird places) can be incredibly longwinded unfortunately, and the styling competitions are terrible. There is no thought involved, you just need to select your highest value outfits without taking any other stat into account, so all you can do is grinding for upgrade materials. And you spend way too much time navigating menus to cash in you various awards (there are so many things to click to get rewards, all the time). The game also does a terrible job explaining the systems - I found new rewards systems literally dozens of hours in. And now after 40 hours I'm at a point where I need 3 pieces to finish a gacha outfit and the last 30 attempts have netted nothing. I get NO satisfaction from that nonsense, so I won't be playing more before there is a major update. But in the end I had 30+ hours of genuine fun without feeling any pressure to spend real money to progress, so I can't complain too much. However, you should NOT allow your kids to get anywhere close to the gacha system. It's not needed to progress, but they make it very easy for you to waste ridiculous amounts of cash, and there should be a child safety mode that disables that nonsense. If you can ignore all the gacha/paid battle pass stuff, it's a pretty relaxing game if you enjoy the exploration, dressing up Nikki in pretty outfits and sharing screenshots.

01:20:20 might be the single most intense hit of "video game nostalgia" I've ever had. Haven't listened to that startup in decades.

I just finished the A ending of the game… I think it may be the hardest thing I’ve ever done in a game. Not sure. Maybe the Melania fight is up there. Once you guys finish getting this ending, you should find a way to at least try the last world of that path. It’s insane.

CHAOS

thank god Patrick made it

So much cool stuff happens at the end of this game.

FOR THE EMPEROR!

46:40 break ends

just FYI, the menus and all that stuff, it's more or less "claim all" and that's it, it's very overwhelming at the beginning :D

We need more fashion action games

Apart from the obvious gacha stuff (this is pretty much Genshin Impact but dresses), the menus in this game are sick. Watching Patrick figure out a gacha game was so amusing.

*Youth pastor turrns the chair around* "Let me tell you about the original platformer.... Super Mario." Patrick mentioned the voting audience and I think when you consider it being a lot of adults who grew up through the PlayStation era, many of whom now have kids and not a lot of free time, Astro Bot makes a lot of sense as a final pick. Strong nominees all around, though.

I played Okami two or three years ago and loved it. It's definitely long - it keeps extending when you think it might be done - but I played it about once a week and that was a great way to do it. It justifies the length, but I think if you're playing it non-stop the gameplay might get a bit tiresome.

Aaaa yes, Cado talking with their mouth full, a Remap stream tradition. 😩

it was all worth it to hear that orchestral rendition of the balatro music

01:22:49 CADO LMAOOOOO you are so real for sharing that 🤣

Communist Manifesto Coin is neck and neck with Squid Games the game show in terms of spinoffs in conflict with the original text.

RUMHAAAAM!!

3:09:41 "the suffering of generations must be endured to achieve our divine end" is so ominously zionist my skin actually tried to crawl away from me. how...how can they not see it?

Are the zoomies in game or was that a bug

The energy in the last 30 mins of this were WILD

look, who among us would not pay money to have the muppets come make fun of us.

Patrik's kid dragging him followed immediately by Rob making savage CEO murder jokes is why I love Remap.

How have the muppets been funny for decades? It's impressive tbh. Also, Fumito Ueda might actually get me to sign up for the epic game store. He has the power.

Rob out here high on drugs talkin’ about Final Fantasy soundtracks like they aren’t still nonstop full of bangers. Masayoshi Soken DON’T MISS

Holy shit, five star runtime!

Even the Okami tutorial draaaaags. I love parts of the game but it's too drawn out for its own good.

Metaphor has 3-4 good tracks and the rest is repetitive, forgettable garbage. Rebirth has literally hundreds of bangers, including completely original pieces. Anyone who voted for Metaphor for "Best narrative" need to read a book and take a break from anime. I've read deeper narratives written by 8th-graders. I was honestly shocked how on the nose and shallow the game was when I finally played it.

...everyone knew Astrobot was winning.

Statler and Waldorf were great hosts!

Sven's sentiments are very endearing and the aspirations for the rest of the industry are admirable, but it is very funny that Astro Bot proceeds to win the award, a game precision engineered to appeal to brand nostalgia and elbow in on an underserved demographic

Honestly that show was sick overall. Great bits. Very promising games.

Yeah, we're proud of you Astro Bot, a first party Sony game. Even the little guys can win!

Happy for the Astrobot guys, giving them a pass on the music because they're French, but that song makes me want to pull my head off and throw it in the toilet

Real glad someone brought up Derail Valley. Such a banger game. Ive put so much time just cruising thru their fake eastern europe.

1:15 JR East Train Simulator 21:06 we make it past the menus 59:48 Railfan for the PS3 trailer 01:02:32 Indiana Jones and the Great Circle 01:18:12 Rob is finally satisfied with the settings 01:27:38 Face reveal! 01:29:20 DLSS ON (the gameplay gets way smoother) 01:51:32 Title card 02:00:03 A new Rob sound clip 02:28:32 Violin bow takedown 02:35:55 Mandolin takedown (get his ass)

I would play a whole game that's just Indiana Jones putting everything in the museum back in its place

Congratulations to Mina for being one year cancer free!

Rob The ASMR Train Conductor

I can feel the PS2 energy radiating off JR East Train Sim, the vibes are delightful.

Yall can pretend you're here for the Indy game, but I *know* it's for the trains.

Cado, why the hell did you leave your mic open as you unpacked and ate your meal???

Rob going “I’ve barely started, but we’ve been playing so long…” made me hold my face in my hands. So glad they don’t do longer playthroughs generally

taylor swift sailor moon shirt.... slay

I thought Patrick was wearing a Sailor Moon shirt.

I think there is an actual explanation for why Bella's narration in the Twilight books is so wierd, I think it's that she writes all of them an after becoming a vampire, looking back through a lens of inhumanity upon her mortal life

I love diva Rob
