Johnny vs. Astro Bot (AD FREE)
Added 2024-10-12 06:53:49 +0000 UTCGot a couple of new Versus videos on the docket, and first up is Astro Bot! Those that joined me for the Discord recordings already got an idea of what I think, but what about those who think Discord is cringe?

Hearing my shoutout is sorta cathartic but for this video it’s kinda symbolic even though it’s random. I was always on the edge of do I want a ps5 or not. I already have my switch Xbox series X and ps4 and retro consoles I didn’t need much else but honestly after watching this to the end I think I might consider buying a ps5 just to play this and maybe sparking Zero but thats only until I get a space for a pc setup. Seeing this game reminded me of my playthrough of Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 and Jack and Daxter if you could believe it. I had so much fun and I never played JD until about two years ago I wanna say and it’s one of my favorite collect-a-thons of all time

2024-10-13 01:20:58 +0000 UTCI grew up with the Playstation 2 and there was so many waves of nostalgia with certain bots. Especially the Persona, Dante, Metal Gear, and of course the God of War bots. I ended up getting the platinum too and I'm surprised it only took me like 3 attempts to get through the final challenge level (I forgot what it's called)

2024-10-12 22:32:57 +0000 UTCMy favourite part of this video was that little stint about Playstation as a brand, and holy shit this is kinda nostalgic getting so many Vs. videos back to back. Very excited and really enjoyed this video

2024-10-12 18:14:44 +0000 UTCMan, Astro Bot is a fantastic game. I played the hell out of it for weeks and never got tired of it. And the cameo bots just made me fanboy like crazy like Raziel and Kain or seeing the Knight and Maiden in Black. Also, I agree on the music, it's so good. It's one of those games where it has so much charm and love put into it that I was smiling the whole way, minus one Square Button level. And the Grandmaster challenge level was the most fun level I had played.

2024-10-12 12:23:59 +0000 UTCYeah, but that's just the times we live in. Games are getting so dang espensive to make, that they can't possibly recouperate their cost if they don't go multiplat. I mean multiplat is nothing new. Several games on PS2 were also on Xbox and GC, but like many have pointed out, 4 years into the console's lifespan, the PS5 really has no killer apps to its name. Which is also why, while I condemn how people are trying to push console players to go PC with titles like "PC won the console war", I'm not denying that they are right. Like you said, baring some games that Sony pays to have exclusive for x-amount of time, all the PS5 hinges on is brand loyalty. I myself would go PC if I knew where to even start.

2024-10-12 10:45:56 +0000 UTCThat really does bum me out though. With more of their first party games coming to PC, there really is no reason to get a PS5. I think it's great that people have more options to play all the various games, but at the cost of brand loyalty waning. It just sort of makes me sad.

2024-10-12 10:21:48 +0000 UTCMan I'm late thanks to Metaphor. Good game by the way. Either way the "WAAAARP ZONE!" Had me chuckling like crazy man. Good video

2024-10-12 09:16:33 +0000 UTCI'm a proud Patreon member (couldn't be here if I wasn't), as I have followed Johnny for at least a decade and felt it was high time to give back ... but of course if he was a hot gamer gurl I would support with more than I currently do ;-)

2024-10-12 08:42:23 +0000 UTCI got a PS5 at release and I still, 4 years later, tell people who are bumped that they can't afford one, that baring a few cool exclusives like Returnal, there is absolutely no reason to get one if they already have their trusty PS4.

2024-10-12 08:40:46 +0000 UTCI love this game so much. It’s such a joy to play through. Makes me really hope that the IPs represented here can return someday. I know they will.

2024-10-12 07:22:40 +0000 UTCThe discord streams for this game were great fun, and the trip down memory lane this game put me through during my first playthrough was a joy from beginning to end. I definitely agree with it feeling like the PS5 has a less varied lineup of first party titles and I hope this game helps show that there's still a big audience for Sony's games that haven't had the chance to be continued/rereleased.

2024-10-12 07:21:50 +0000 UTCSo it’s 3 in the god damn morning you expect me to watch a vs video at this time?? With the possibility of getting a sly cooper vs video. You son of a bitch I am in.

2024-10-12 07:18:42 +0000 UTCMan I really want to play this, though I picked Dragon Ball as the game I was gonna splurge my money to. Man, I hear ya with the intro regarding losing console interest in favor of PC. That being said, I also found myself seeing how much of a pita it is when going to PC in terms of finding good setting combos and maintenance. Not to mention a loss of some convenience features. Using Xbox’s quick resume feature to switch between games even with turning off the console is something I wish was on PC.

2024-10-12 07:10:36 +0000 UTCI hope maybe Sly Cooper or the Jak games might get a Steam port. It's not like Sony gives a bleep anymore
