I've been meaning to see last night's group stream again, shouldn't it be uploaded by now on the plays channel?

I'm bored, does anyone want to argue about EZA's finances? Or which allies secretly don't get along? Down for whatever

I wish they had the direct reactions camera setup last night for the group stream, their reactions to all the mario party going ons were great but the camera was sooooo small you could barely see them

I know it'll never get in on the Allies' conversation, but Astro Bot is up there for me in terms of GOTYs, right alongside Spider-man and God of War in the category of "Games I Couldn't Stop Thinking About When I Wasn't Playing Them And Brought Me Immense Joy When I Was." Monster Hunter World and Hollow Knight would probably round out my top 5, with RDR2 possibly looking to steal a spot if it turns out like I hope it does. I too am enjoying AC Odyssey more than I ever expected to (dug Origins but got bored after about 15 hours, so that may also happen with Odyssey) so who knows if that'll be a part of it. Doubtful.

If anything, though, Astro Bot HAS to be in the Best Music conversation. Right??

We have the same top three games. I feel like astro bot reviewed really well but nobodys really talking about it on the podcasts I listen to.

What is the ratio of appearances of allies across Frame Trap, EZA podcast and Friend Code excluding corresponding hosts. Which allies are under represented, who is over represented and is the balance good enough. These are crucial questions that need to be answered, the future of the allies hinges on the findings of this report.

This spreadsheet was great but it seems to not have been updated since last year.

Blood's working on his Forza review so streams probably won't get uploaded until he's done. That's how it usually goes.

Latest Friend Code was brilliant. Never been a particular fan of that show but this episode was a fantastic idea.
Kyle's "we should try to do some of these" would also make a great show. The Allies Achievements.

Just listened to friend code, I want that game Kyle proposed.
This sounds like a good time.

Best soundtrack is always interesting.

wonder if octopath will get a mention.
Haven't played VC4 but I have it on steam. Wonder how good its ost is.

I think GOW, RDR2, Monster Hunter, and Spider-Man are guaranteed nominees for EZA, maybe Smash 5 and DQ11 as well. Unless RDR2 is some crazy masterpiece, I think this year's GOTY could really go to any of the first three.
Smash won't be mentioned lol

eza isn't as into smash as zelda or mario.
and 2 (Ian and Jones) actively dislike it.

forgot about Torna for ost.

It should definitely be a contender.
But only Ben played it so it won't

Jones has warmed up to Smash. Ian still really dislikes smash for some reason.
Jones seems to really likes the concept of smash, the representation, trailers, marketing, etc.
and I think he likes to pop it in to play with friends.
but both he and ian don't really grasp the basics of movement, recovery, and attacking (+performing a smash attack.)

and when you don't understand a game and aren't very good, it makes sense to not like it as much as other games. So it's not a slight or anything.
though Ian does criticize the controls and mechanics of the game at times if he gets frustrated, which is off base.

Ian feels like Smash is unresponsive, but he does admit that this might be attributed to the fact he doesn't really know what he's doing when he picks up a pad.

From the impression I've gotten from podcasts, impressions, etc, both Brandon and Ian are intending to give Ultimate a solid go.

The Friend Code podcast was a lot more entertaining than I was anticipating this week. Finally got around to watching it last night. Glad 'achievements' won the poll.

Tbh they aren't big on Nintendo games aside from Zelda and Mario games. Or at least half the group isn't.
I don't get that impression tbh. Smash, Animal Crossing and Metroid are three of their most anticipated games, and they give more love to Tropical Freeze than any other outlet I've seen.

Not sure I'd agree with that.
most of them play stuff like AC, FE, Kirby, Smash, Luigi's Mansion, mario spinoffs, Pokemon, Star Fox, etc.

edit: forgot Metroid somehow
I include Mario spinoffs with Mario games. But I dunno, maybe because they aren't as outspoken about it. Kirby is like Blood, Ben, Kyle. FE is Kyle, Ben, Damiani. Pokemon is Kyle and Ben, with some Jones. But yeah didn't think about AC or Metroid.
Edit: Just to note, I don't have any issue with this or anything. Just my inner thoughts.

did you mean specifically when it comes to GOTY voting?

as I said, I think they have interests in a lot of the Nintendo Franchises. More than any other game company.
but for GOTY I think it would likely be a Mario Zelda or Metroid to actually win.

The Podcast Rogue's Gallery is actually insanely powerful. Imagine being able to see into the future and then sending that damage sponge wherever you need to. Could completely halt the party's progress.

No I meant in general. I dunno it's just the impression I've got.

I mean, if you look at the current Hall of Greats inductions list so far (a list which is intended to be the Allies list of the greatest games of all time, whether that is actually true or not is another conversation) 9 of the current 14 inductees are Nintendo Exclusive titles, with 3 of the other 5 having Nintendo Console versions and/or ports.

But, I think I might agree that when it comes to current games, more of the Allies are more excited by stuff coming out for PS4 than Switch, aside from the Switche's flagship titles.

Yes exacty, I couldn't really find what I wanted to say. But I meant in regards to current games. Like they have lots of nostalgia for older Nintendo games that's obvious.

Just watched the last group stream, that was sooo goood, might be the best one they have ever done. Not only looked the game amazingly fun to play but their match specifically was hysterical, really sold the game for me and will definitely pick it up down the line.

8.5/10.

Fun episode. The various characters going through their motivations is really bringing back things together after a long, long period of stagnation. Huber dropped all of Pomper's lovable quirks and characteristics for the longest time and he felt mightily underdeveloped (which honestly is really true for most of the characters this season). This episode felt like a course correction of sorts.

Almost all of the new characters were developed in interesting ways. The new cobalt's arc seems to be picking up after a lackluster introduction. And Brad's new accent is downright hilarious. It's this weird take on what I can say is an Australian accent. I hope he sticks with it. Ben has also done a masterful job of voicing something like 7 different characters with their own unique accents and delivery so props to him.

The villains in this season are still awful though and I really can't relate to why this crew is after Tataka. Like do they have something against Gods? Or would they be cool with Tataka if he just got rid of the monster hordes? And quite frankly, it doesn't make sense for Tataka to keep Ramos around if he is bringing about so much death, especially if Tataka's point is to make everyone happy. Like the whole party + villain motivation is muddle and convoluted. Hopefully Ben ties it all together better moving forward.

Top 3 group stream all time for me, lol. I wish they'd put this one on the main channel for max views.
.
I can't wait for them to upload it, I missed it the other night. It was Mario party right?

I hope they do some sort of fight against them eventually, it'd be cool to have some event type thing.

What?? This is completley wrong, if the allies are one thing, that thing is big Nintendo fans. They all love a franchise and if HoG is an indication for something is how nostalgic the Allies are for Nintendo.

Ironically the ally who is the least hyped about Nintendo is probably Huber. I mean he'll say Zelda or Mario are 10/10 games but you can tell he doesn't have the same passion for it as for other series.

I don't need to do the math, the answer is easy: Not Enough Don

Edit: and now I'm thinking of Don
