Triangle Strategy has been sooo good! I usually feel "strategy" or "tactics are generous terms for them. But them game I actually feel like many things I do is important not just hit their back, and block your back

I've been between Elden Ring for the PS4 Pro and Octopath Traveler for the Nintendo Switch. I'm just patiently waiting for TMNT: The Cowabunga Collectionr to release.
Elden Ring is so addictive. I'm 90 hours in on my second playthrough. It's one of the best games I've played in years :).

For sure. The Soulsborne games (the actual trilogy along with DeS and BB) have always been stupidly addictive to me. I have the patience of a hamster but somehow I am very persistent in these games and I love them to bits. Elden Ring is no different. It's beautiful, expansive and a lot of fun to explore and play. Yes, you'll hit some walls but there's so much to do, just go and explore other things and come back later!

You guys are pros. Damn work gets in the way. I love Elden Ring so much also. Definitely my game of the year so far. Love Soulsbourne games. Have fun gaming friends. I am sprinkling in some Triangle Strategy when the wife is playing Elden Ring. It's a great game also.
Love when Rob comes along to talk and even though I probably won't play those games, I'll listen joyfully to your stories and experience.
Pokemon Legends Arceus and Triangle Strategy are really awesome...these are the games I'm playing now...so magnificent...😎
I turned 30 this past week. One of the presents my wife's family got me was Elden ring. I sat there one day and played it for 12+ hours. This is the first game In awhile I fell in love with.
The amount of weirdness and hidden secrets in Elden Ring is mind blowing. All the obscure side quests (that make you stronger, no less) in this absolutely massive world that is FAR from empty is astounding. What a masterpiece, almost unbelievable that this game even exists. From Software is one of the great ones.

I’m actually playing through Doom 3 again for the first time in 17 years but this time on my Nintendo Switch. Such a fun game, it’s a little bit more survival horror than any other game in the series but that’s what I love about it!
Totally agree with the Wonder Boy In Monster Land statements. All my nostalgia is for the Master System version.
So happy to see that yall are still making videos together! I've been following for a WHILLLE!
I have been waiting a physical copy of Triangle Strategy to be available here in my country. Sure, I could have gone digital but I want a physical copy for this one, so I am patiently waiting.

It is definitely worth it.
1. There's a way to make Dark Souls, and Elden Ring for that matter, easy (or at least to reduce the difficult considerably, you still need to learn how to fight bosses and enemies): magic. 2. One way to rank Resident Evil games would be each of you make your own rank. "This is my number 10", "This is mine", "This is my number 9", "This is mine"; it would be fun to find when both of you put the same game in the same rank, and elaborate on your different takes. 3. I've been playing Dark Souls 3, Horizon Chase Turbo, Trails in the Sky, and Kentucky Route Zero (but I think I won't continue on this one; it's not fun, there are very long dialogue scenes that are important to the story, yes, but the story is irrelevant, uninteresting; it's like the devs read a García Márquez book and fell so in love with him--without understanding what Magic Realism actually is). Horizon Chase Turbo is the best racing games I have played in 30 years, since Top Gear 3000 on the SNES. Trails is a good turn-based RPG, there's a reason it's considered a classic.

Elden Ring. This has been the best game I have played in the last 10 years. This is like SkyRim, Oblivion, and Dark Souls wrapped up into one. Love the open world and design is just amazing. Well thought out and executed.

I've been playing Sly Cooper 3 from the Sly Cooper collection. I finished Sly Cooper 1 and Sly Cooper 2 earlier this year already. Going back and enjoying these old school platform games has been a blast for me. I'm definitely going to get Elden Ring, Horizon Forbidden West, and Triangle Strategy.
Always awesome to see Rob!
Beat 3 of the 4 endings in Triangle Strategy. I like it even more than FF tactics. The storyline is straight up better than ff tactics imo. Tactics had such a convoluted story line. Triangle Strat is FF tactics kinda meets Radiant Historia. I think T Strat will creep up the lists and find a place in Johny's Heart over time. I think Elden Ring.... Well, I'd even rather be playing Elden ring buuuuuut, I'm on the Ps5 waitlist.
Great to see you both together again.
Great episode!!! Always love a Rob episode. I felt like a gatekeeper but you guys brought me back down to Earth Lol. Fantastic talk of new and old games!
So glad I rediscovered this channel!
You guys are funny calling yourselves old. I’m 65. Still gaming just fine!🤠💕
Just beat A Plague Tale: Innocence, it was very enjoyable and I was very invested in the story and characters by the end of the game, definitely looking forward to the sequel.
Its always a treat seeing Rob come back for a chat :)
I always would love to finish a game, but always end up bouncing around....glad to find comfort in knowing so many others do 👍🍻
Currently playing MONARK. At first I got it for the SMT devs aspect, but after 60 hours I am loving it for it doing its own thing and the story is pretty engaging. I know the game won't be talked about a whole lot but it is certainly a hidden gem for me.
I'm actually playing Beat Saber (I absolutely love OST 5 and the new notes, such a blast) the game is just so fun that i can't stop myself from playing :) [Camellia's music is so good too]
Love these vids! Please never stop
Love you guys.
Nothing like a Sunday morning episode!
I've been jumping back and forth between Horizon: Forbidden West, and Triangle Strategy. Both are phenomenal games and a blast to play. Today I'm picking up a Wii U kiosk from a seller locally, so I'll be playing some Captain Toad: Tresure Tracker hopefully very soon!
Always a good day when see a new video with Robman. Love the metal gear hoodie.
Awesome to see robman! Great video guys!😊💪👌
First there was Lost Sphere, then there was Triangle Strategy. Finally Rectangle Fantasy
I am also playing Infernax at the moment! It’s so good. One of the best games I’ve played in a long time!
I trust your and Rob’s opinions on games over anyone, you’re the Tarantino of gaming curation and if anyone is going to put preconceptions aside and give RE6 a fair shake, it’s you two. Can’t freaking wait for that RE ranking video!

Been playing grindstone and crown trick. Love them!!
Thanks for telling me about Infernax!
Brilliant one!
Great video! You’re videos of reminiscing are my favorite. Would like a total review of Elden Ring when you’re done please! As for the RE list, go 45 minutes if you have to but do all the games old and new versions and your own lists each. Don’t worry about length of the videos because you’re my favorite channel and content creator. More is always great with you!
11:28 -- When "Project Triangle Strategy" was first announced, I knew that's what they'd do with the name because they did the same thing with Octopath Traveler (announced as Project Octopath Traveler)
I have to respectfully disagree with Johnny about Triangle Strategy. I find it to be FAR superior to Final Fantasy Tactics. Everything is faster and much more streamlined. I also personally find the story and characters more interesting.
Finally started my venture into the world of Xenoblade ahead of 3 and oh my god I‘m already blown away. The grand world, exploration and music. Hard to put the controller down. Also just a great showcase for why the hybrid idea works so well. Catching up with quests on handheld, main story on big screen. Also what I really appreciate so far is that you just get to play the game, dialogue and cutscenes are very much out of the way. Can‘t wait to eventually get to 2 and then the new one.

80 hours into Elden Ring, and it is a 10/10 masterpiece. One of the greatest of all time for sure. Grab the Greatsword and cosplay as Guts.
13:40-13:50 I love how Rob says "FRONT Mission is coming BACK?" multiple times and Johnny just refuses to acknowledge it. :)
The most exciting thing was hearing that Guardian Heroes background music!
I am an absolute idiot for just finding this but the two of you gentlemen brought light to my soul. Please PLEASE keep up the good fight

Thanks Robman for talking about some old style games I've never heard of.
My copy of Triangle Strategy arrived as I was watching this and I also beat SMTV today. I hope you review TS, Johnny! Love the game chats!
I've been blasting through the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series, and having an incredible time! I can finally say now, I have beaten Final Fantasy II for the first time, which was always a bucket list game for me, seeing as the game mechanics always turned me off before lol. But I studied and totally understand it now, and finally conquered it....yet the final boss took me about 2 minutes, I think I was wayyyyyy too powered up, hahaha. Glad to see you both doing well, and have fun with RE6, I myself have it as well and never even played it, I really should though at some point lol.
I've been playing Persona 5 Royal. I had the original version and played it a few hours but it didn't grab me. I got the Royal edition on sale awhile back and started it up last week and I am HOOKED. Such a cool, stylish game and fantastic music too.
Did one playthrough of Infernax so far, really fun game! Also been chipping away at Horizon when I can. So many great games out there!
Friend and I just late last year, we did the exact same thing haha we both love Resident Evil series soooo much. But we both skipped 6. It's crazy how similar our stories are. We ended up playing through it for the same reasons you did. Just wanted a definitive conversation about a Resident Evil ranking system. I was blown away by how long the game was haha good luck finishing it in a weekend. It will be a push but I'm keen to see you guys discuss it.
Love me some Rob Man videos
Oh, the Guardian Heroes soundtrack brings me a lot of memories... so nostalgic... 😌
Elden Ring is amazing. Never had so many jump scares in a game, always on edge.
my 8th grade son played it and loved it and he's not a souls fan and are playing it side by side it's been fantastic def easier to get into
Resident Evil 6 Mercenaries mode was actually a lot of fun back then when I originally played it on the Xbox 360. I’ll never forget my best friend and I spending hours perfecting our teamwork and going up the leaderboards in mercenaries. The story mode was okay though lol.
Nice to hear Guardian heroes, playing in the background.
While I'm playing Gran Turismo 7 I just got started playing Elden ring just started playing back Fist of the North Star Lost Paradise and been playing few other things on my Nintendo switch as well so hope you and Rob are safe and have a great one
I'm 52 hours into Elden Ring and having the best time, I'm playing it like a snail and have only really cleared out Limgrave. Game of the year! Aside from that I'm playing Paper Mario Thousand Year Door, I'm on the fourth chapter and it's without a doubt my favorite Mario game lol.
Definitely looking forward to that Resident Evil series ranking. I’ve also never played RE6, I think I may give it a go along with you both.

Never clicked faster. Elden Ring AND Rob?! EDIT: As for me, I've been playing Elden Ring and the Trails series (The Legend of Heroes)
I'm really enjoying Triangle Strategy! Is that Hobgoblin on Rob's shirt?
Like many others, Elden Ring has consumed my life right now. Almost 90hrs in and I’ve only done the second demigod. I’m exploring every nook and cranny and constantly getting sidetracked. My jaw has dropped to the ground so many times when I stumble upon some crazy underground locale or cool boss encounter. I suspect many many more hours of fun ahead. One of the best games I’ve played in quite a while 😅
We need to see a bit of this RE6 playthrough!
For pass few months I’ve been finishing games I never got around to beat for years. Just finished Yakuza 7 few weeks ago, and now playing Tales of Vesperia on the Switch. That is one game I didn’t finish around 14 years ago when it was a 360 exclusive.
Glad to see Rob back for a visit and some quality gaming. Question Rob, is that your cane behind you leaned up against Link's shield? If it is excellent choice on the Alien head handle, very nice. Also is it a sword cane? If its not, Johnny did you get and Alien headed sword cane for game room because that is equally awesome.
I’m a Retro guy so i have been playing Doom 64 on Switch and Ultima Exodus on NES, and when i get the time, some Breath of the wild on Master mode.
Been playing Triangle Strategy (love it), Deus Ex (PS2), and Konami Pixel Puzzle on iphone.
I played a little bit of RE 6. It’s actually quite fun. There is a mode that feels like an RPG where you can unlock weapons. I like that part.
Playing Fire Emblem Awakening, Phantom Hourglass, Number Battles (DSi) and Aero Porter. Trying to soak up that 3DS as much as possible!
Playing Forbidden West a bit but I'm really into Sakura Wars. Beautiful graphics and probably best looking anime style action combat video game since Front Mission. Love the cut scenes!
I'd play Rectangle Fantasy by CircleSoft! BTW, if you miss the OLD OLD turn based Style JRPGs, Kemco still releases new ones fairly often. I know they're released as collection for consoles and individually on Steam.
Man kudos to Rob for being able to see that despite that the game isn't for him, the team doesn't need to change it to suit him. I respect that a lot.
