  What's up y'all? And welcome back to Daddy's to
• 0:05
  Talk. I'm your host Robert, and today,
• 0:08
  today I want to highlight a upcoming game called Etern
• 0:12
  Nights. Now this is something that I
• 0:17
  honestly, until a few hours ago, was not really even on my radar.
• 0:23
  I gave the little it to any cares of interest in.
• 0:26
  But sometimes certain things keep coming across your radar,
• 0:31
  whether it be you know, your screen through social media,
• 0:33
  YouTube, whatever. And you keep seeing stuff and
• 0:37
  you're like, I don't know and that's kind of where this was.
• 0:40
  So it turn Nights was originally revealed over a year ago at A at
• 0:45
  a think a position in state of play.
• 0:48
  And of course at the time I'm like whatever, you know, I'm not
• 0:50
  really paying too much attention or whatever.
• 0:53
  Well, to kind of boil it out in a nutshell or whatever.
• 0:55
  So this game is coming out actually earlier than what was
• 0:59
  originally scheduled for. They moved the data up to next
• 1:01
  week, September 12th, and it is kind of described as like a
• 1:05
  mixture between a game with some persona elements, some kind of
• 1:11
  like Devil May Cry slash Bayonetta, fast-paced combat.
• 1:16
  And they are kind of classifying as like a dating action game.
• 1:20
  And so hearing all these different things and looking at
• 1:23
  some gifts and stuff, and I was like, you know what?
• 1:26
  May may maybe I'll give this a a fair shake.
• 1:31
  And so there was a free demo for it on Steam.
• 1:36
  Now unfortunately, my little laptop is not designed for
• 1:43
  gaming. It is a very basic laptop I got
• 1:46
  a couple years ago but this game was pushing my laptop to the
• 1:51
  limits because I was hoping to record some gameplay to show
• 1:54
  y'all, but I'll just kind of play one of these trailers real
• 1:58
  quick while I talk a little bit. But but yeah, so so the game is
• 2:03
  coming out, like I said next week it's going to be on PS4 P,
• 2:06
  S5 timed exclusive and it's also going to be on Steam and Epic on
• 2:10
  PC for the time being. And so one of the things that
• 2:15
  I've really enjoyed about my time playing the game.
• 2:18
  So like I mentioned, it's kind of got some dating SIM type of
• 2:25
  stuff, a little bit like, a little bit of like persona.
• 2:27
  So you're meeting people, you have companions and things like
• 2:33
  that to kind of go with you along on your journey.
• 2:38
  And so it was kind of interesting because honestly,
• 2:42
  immediately the first thing that stood out when I paid the demo,
• 2:45
  when I was playing the demo is that it legit.
• 2:49
  Made me laugh and chuckle a few times.
• 2:52
  Like there was a couple of things that was happening
• 2:55
  because the game kind of, or at least like the demo started out
• 2:57
  with you talking with, I guess. I think I think he's like your
• 3:00
  childhood best friend or whatever.
• 3:02
  He's trying to get you on a dating app and stuff, you know,
• 3:05
  get, you know, talking to some girls and stuff and just some of
• 3:10
  the dialogue and the banter was just really fun.
• 3:15
  And when I got to this moment here where you kind of walk
• 3:23
  around your your apartment or whatever and there's a box of
• 3:26
  tissue on the count on your table and you kind of click on
• 3:29
  whatever and it says at least I have you tissue box.
• 3:33
  I was like, OK, alright game, you got me.
• 3:37
  Maybe I'll see what else you got going on.
• 3:41
  And yeah, so like I mentioned, so basically it seems like
• 3:47
  there's like this some type of apocalyptic situation happening.
• 3:52
  I guess it's the kind of best way to phrase it.
• 3:57
  And you pretty much end up going through kind of like a Persona
• 4:02
  type of game, which to be honest, I've really only ever
• 4:05
  played a little bit of Persona for a Golden back in the day.
• 4:09
  But I know some about the general basics of that series,
• 4:12
  whatever. Basically you're going through
• 4:14
  different dungeons and stuff for the combat sections, as I'm
• 4:19
  showing here on the screen. Like I met just a little bit
• 4:22
  like fastpaced, you know, like Devil May Cry, you know, there
• 4:26
  there's like a a slowdown mechanic to where if you dodge
• 4:29
  at the right time, you know things will slow down.
• 4:31
  You get some extra hits on, kind of like a Witch Time in
• 4:33
  Bayonetta. So that's pretty cool.
• 4:38
  Of course, it seems like you're going to have a handful of
• 4:42
  different girls you can talk to from this.
• 4:45
  I think it's like famous pop out of that.
• 4:47
  You run into a childhood best friend.
• 4:49
  And some of the other ones, there wasn't really too much of
• 4:51
  that in the demo that they had or whatever, but they put out,
• 4:57
  you know, some of it in like the trailers or whatever.
• 4:58
  So it would be kind of interesting to see like how some
• 5:00
  of that stuff kind of plays out and another kind of thing kind
• 5:04
  of like, oh that that that's been running through some of the
• 5:08
  dungeons. But is that kind of like Persona
• 5:13
  and certain games like this, there's also kind of like a time
• 5:17
  limit to things as well. So you're kind of like having to
• 5:20
  joggle your time between, know, doing social things with your
• 5:24
  friends, with your dates and stuff, and then also going out
• 5:27
  and exploring, fighting these infected monsters, demons,
• 5:34
  whatever they are. Well, I know, I know these, like
• 5:37
  some of the ones I saw, they're infected people.
• 5:40
  Like I said some some weird thing went off and kind of like
• 5:45
  I started transforming people or whatever.
• 5:48
  But yeah, but All in all, it it was a pretty, it was a pretty
• 5:52
  fun experience. That the demo was about about 90
• 5:58
  minutes or so from from what I remember or maybe about.
• 6:04
  Yeah, yeah, because I played it a good a good chunk of time,
• 6:07
  whatever. So it may be at least an hour
• 6:09
  and some change, if I'm remembering that correctly.
• 6:12
  But yeah, and like I said it, it was genuinely funny and just
• 6:18
  like my type of humor. Like I said, the game looks very
• 6:22
  beautiful. All I've got to mention, there
• 6:25
  are some like animated cutscenes and stuff in the game for
• 6:30
  certain things. So that's been kind of
• 6:32
  interesting to see in in in the. The animated scenes looked
• 6:36
  really dope and really cool, so I look forward to seeing more of
• 6:40
  those in the game. And so this is the one.
• 6:43
  Like I say it wasn't really on my radar at all before this but
• 6:49
  now it's it's definitely something that I don't know if
• 6:55
  I'm going to get around to it at lunch.
• 6:57
  But this definitely kind of showed me like the potential and
• 7:07
  and this is kind of kind of like a like another good reminder.
• 7:10
  And these are some like some of like the character art for like
• 7:12
  some of like the man cast of characters and stuff.
• 7:15
  But but it it it just kind of just reminded me or just remind
• 7:19
  to all of us to like hey don't judge a book by its cover.
• 7:22
  And sometimes you know what? Maybe step out of like your
• 7:25
  usual comfort zone or the normal things that you play, watch,
• 7:28
  read, whatever, and try out some new stuff.
• 7:32
  Like I said. And those others follow me for a
• 7:34
  while. I do that with a lot of the
• 7:37
  manga, talk about anime, TV shows, etcetera.
• 7:40
  So I hope to continue to do that with, you know, video games and
• 7:43
  stuff as well, to try to bring more things to, y'all's
• 7:47
  attention that, you know, some of the more mainstream or bigger
• 7:53
  sites and channels and stuff might not be talking about.
• 7:57
  But oh, and the voice acting stuff I thought was pretty well
• 8:00
  pretty much from what I saw so far, everybody is fully voiced
• 8:05
  except for your character. You do get the name of your
• 8:09
  character and you know, of course, like when they're
• 8:11
  they're, they'll say the full sentence of stuff and then just
• 8:14
  like have your name and they're like, hey, this is my friend,
• 8:19
  and then I'll just put the name or whatever.
• 8:22
  So yeah, so like I said, it seems like it's going to be a
• 8:24
  nice fun mix of some comedy and fun and humor moments.
• 8:30
  Like I said, like I mentioned while I go with that that one
• 8:33
  part with you know you talking to the tissue box and then there
• 8:37
  was like some moments to where you're talking to your best
• 8:39
  friend and be like, yeah man, you remember that time we we
• 8:42
  stole some some dirty magazines from your grandpa's house and
• 8:46
  just little stuff like that. You know like I said like like
• 8:50
  like the kind of like jokes with like the online dating apps and
• 8:52
  different stuff like that. I'm I'm just very excited like I
• 8:56
  said to to kind of get into it and like the with the dialogue
• 9:00
  and stuff as well. There was like this kind of like
• 9:03
  some like interesting things to where depending on how you
• 9:07
  responded to certain questions and stuff sometimes it would you
• 9:14
  know be like you know plus one confidence or plus you know to
• 9:21
  this or +3 that or whatever. So it's kind of neat to just
• 9:24
  see, like how your dialogue choices will of course affect
• 9:27
  your relationship with different, different characters.
• 9:30
  And I'm not sure how that might play out in the combat and
• 9:33
  stuff, because like I said, with the combat and the demo so far,
• 9:38
  it was really just you're just the main character, the guy that
• 9:43
  you played as or whatever. But as you see from the
• 9:45
  screenshots and from the trailers, whatever, that a lot
• 9:47
  more of the cast seemingly get involved in stuff in the combat.
• 9:52
  So yeah, so I'm I'm, I'm very interested to see more of this.
• 9:58
  Like I said, I I truly wish that my poor little laptop was strong
• 10:03
  enough for me to capture my gameplay from the demo.
• 10:07
  But like I said, hey if if you have a pretty decent PCI, highly
• 10:11
  recommend going on Steam and download the free demo and
• 10:16
  checking it out for yourself and then let me know what you think.
• 10:20
  It is very strange though that there is no demo on freaking PS5
• 10:26
  because it seems like Sony and PlayStation have like a
• 10:30
  marketing deal. Well, obviously because it's
• 10:32
  going to be time to exclusive on the system, but it feels like a
• 10:35
  missed opportunity to have this really cool demo not be on your
• 10:40
  platform. And so because okay, you're
• 10:42
  going through all this marketing and money deals and stuff,
• 10:46
  whatever to get it as an exclusive.
• 10:48
  Whatever was like hey go that extra mile because when I
• 10:51
  searched for it on a lot or whatever it was like Reddit post
• 10:53
  and Twitter post and all the stuff people have been like yo
• 10:57
  PS5 demo win position demo win or whatever and little to no
• 11:02
  response on social media from from the devs and stuff which
• 11:05
  which is unfortunate but like I said hey that is why I want to
• 11:09
  do my part to to maybe put this on somebody else's writer out
• 11:15
  there. Like I said if if you like like
• 11:18
  I say games kind of like persona ask with some like like some
• 11:22
  like a fast-paced action and like some dating SIM stuff and
• 11:27
  kind of a race against the clock so to speak whatever.
• 11:31
  Then this might be 1 worth checking out.
• 11:34
  Like I mentioned the game is coming out next week.
• 11:36
  It's going to be for 30 bucks but I think they have like a
• 11:40
  slight like day one discount where it's going to be like 26
• 11:43
  whatever. It's like a few bucks off like
• 11:46
  so it's going to be PS4, PS Five Steam and Epic game store.
• 11:50
  So yeah so but who knows I'm I'm I might end up I might end up
• 11:57
  pulling out some coins for this one because like I said it's
• 11:59
  just something very different from what I normally play and
• 12:04
  you know I I I I like to try to you know continue to brighten my
• 12:08
  horizons about the stuff I talk about and sharing stuff.
• 12:11
  So but with that being said, thank you so much for watching.
• 12:17
  As always, make sure you're following and subscribes.
• 12:20
  You can find me everywhere at Danny's to talk and who knows,
• 12:24
  maybe I might. If I do finally get to pick up
• 12:26
  the game on my PS5, maybe I'll finally get to post a little bit
• 12:30
  of a game play, whatever. But this would probably be one I
• 12:35
  would definitely record offline because like I said there's some
• 12:39
  some kind of some some some risque moments or whatever and
• 12:43
  seemingly might be more with what they kind of tease and some
• 12:46
  of the marketing stuff. So, so but we'll see my new
• 12:51
  thank God once again for watching and let me know if
• 12:54
  you're interested in the game and if you've if you've checked
• 12:56
  the demo or if you're looking forward to playing the game when
• 12:59
  it comes out next week. And as always, I'll catch on the
• 13:03
  next one. Peace.
