My name is Jonny. (0:00:35) Kev: And my name is Kevin. (0:00:37) Jonnie: And we’re here today to talk about… Cottagecore games! (0:00:40) Kev: Are– no, or– well, is Dave Cottagecore? (0:00:43) Kev: I don’t know. (0:00:45) Kev: Maybe? (0:00:45) Jonnie: I’m pretty sure it’s Cottagecore. Like, it’s very… It’s very Cottagecore. (0:00:49) Kev: Yeah. (0:00:50) Kev: It’s Vibes, right? (0:00:51) Jonnie: Yeah, I think… Yeah, yeah. (0:00:53) Jonnie: I think this is gonna end up being episode 3 in Dave the Diver month, because, you know, I caused a bit of chaos for Al and… (0:01:00) Jonnie: We shuffled the episodes! (0:01:04) Jonnie: As always, transcripts are available… Transcripts are available in the show notes and on the website. (0:01:08) Jonnie: But today, the topic that we’re going to be talking about is the Dredge DLC. (0:01:14) Jonnie: Kiv, we’re a year on for when we first covered Dredge as a part of fishing month, which was this time last year. (0:01:17) Kev: Jeez, I guess it has been a year. (0:01:23) Jonnie: Dredge, definitely not Cottagecore. Dave the Diver, more Cottagecore than Dredge. (0:01:27) Jonnie: That’s what I’m going to say, even with the Dredge elements thrown in. (0:01:28) Kev: Yep, you know what, there is farming in Dave, so close enough. (0:01:30) Jonnie: So, as always, no news for this episode. There will be a bit of a catch-up in a couple of weeks (0:01:45) Jonnie: when we’re all back to recording at… Just a little bit ahead of when the episodes are released, (0:01:51) Jonnie: instead of a lot ahead of when the episodes are released. But what have we been up to? (0:01:55) Jonnie: Kiv, what have you been up to? (0:01:56) Kev: Um, so actually just this week, I actually hit credits on Dave the Diver, the whole thing. (0:02:03) Kev: Um, so I guess, you know, I’ll say that for a second when we get to the main topic, but (0:02:09) Kev: um, I spent a lot of time doing that, but other than that, um, the big one, have you (0:02:14) Kev: heard of Zenless Zone Zero? (0:02:16) Jonnie: I have not. (0:02:16) Kev: Okay. (0:02:17) Kev: Have you heard of miHoYo? (0:02:19) Kev: I sure hope you have. (0:02:21) Jonnie: No. (0:02:22) Kev: Okay. (0:02:23) Kev: Okay, um, have you heard of genshi? (0:02:23) Jonnie: I don’t know any of these words. (0:02:26) Kev: It may not work. (0:02:28) Jonnie: Yes, that’s like the… (0:02:30) Jonnie: That’s like the… (0:02:30) Kev: That may not work. (0:02:32) Jonnie: The big titty… (0:02:34) Jonnie: Gacha game, right? (0:02:38) Kev: That’s correct. Well, that descriptor might not be narrow enough, but yes, you’re on the right track. (0:02:44) Jonnie: Okay. (0:02:44) Jonnie: It’s the really popular big titty. (0:02:46) Kev: Yeah, the really popular one. Yeah, that one. It’s not nike. (0:02:52) Kev: So, miHoYo is the company/developer. (0:02:56) Kev: We’re behind Genshin Impact. (0:02:58) Kev: They have, since Genshin published a few other, released a few games. (0:03:04) Kev: One of them called Honkai Star Rail, which is very similar to Genshin, but that one’s turn-based while Genshin is a Breath of the Wild style game. (0:03:14) Kev: And then, just, I think at the start of July, they released a game called Zenless Zone Zero, which again, very similar. (0:03:23) Kev: Similar which has gotcha mechanics (0:03:26) Kev: Animes style type thing (0:03:28) Kev: the genre this time is more of a (0:03:32) Kev: Character action game for lack of a better word of putting it and think near automata that will make fry (0:03:38) Kev: The mash buttons and get hit lots of enemies basically (0:03:42) Kev: The game is free. I got it on my playstation, but you could even get it on mobile (0:03:49) Kev: It is terrifying how excellent the game is (0:03:55) Kev: the actual (0:03:56) Kev: combat portion is (0:03:59) Kev: simple compared to other games, but it is a (0:04:02) Kev: Very it feels good. It controls very well (0:04:06) Kev: the visual presentation is (0:04:09) Kev: Beyond stellar the it has a very it very strong aesthetic like a urban cyberpunk ish kind of thing (0:04:19) Kev: The the other colors are bright the music is (0:04:23) Kev: Phenomenal, even the UI feels Persona. (0:04:27) Kev: Very, very nice. (0:04:30) Kev: It is, as with the other ones, it does have the gacha mechanic for different characters you can play as. (0:04:37) Kev: But here’s the great thing, right? I don’t really care about most of the characters, so I’m okay. (0:04:44) Kev:...
