    What happens when you let non-RPG gamers play an RPG. With that said, it was pretty funny and I'm sure he could apply several of his comments to most of the series.

    But he has played Skyrim and The Witcher III in the past and liked them


    Though admittedly, the latter was largely because he got to screw Yennefer

    Then I guess he just needs to play more weird Japanese games then.

    Still, this kind of made me think that while XV has a big chance to win back the crowd, I don't think it's gonna be the mainstream success SE wants it to be. Clearly, people can get alienated

    I think the big problem is they essentially started him in the 30 minute cutscene at the start of the game haha (I'm probably dramatising the length)

    If you give any RPG to someone and turn the audio off it's going to be terrible. Imagine standing on a stage and playing the first 30 minutes of Fallout 3. One minute your a baby crawling around, then your at a kids birthday party and then you're in a classroom. Would seem terribly boring aswell.

    They should of thrown him into a fight with a Behemoth or something. Would of sold the game much better to a mainstream audience.

    I feel that was inevitable. I feel SE should understand that some of their past glory really did come down to just excellent timing on their part and trying to waste time hoping lightning strikes twice for them is a bit of fool's errand at this point.

    Only if you take comedy sketches seriously.

    Do you take the word of a comedian at heart? Will people cancel their pre-orders because Conan thinks it's a blue balls waste of time? Good riddance to those people, I say.

    I want to know if it really does take three real time days to beat the Level 99 Adamantoise boss though. If that's accurate, that is smurfing retarded.

    Humor can be mean even if not taken seriously, though? I love Conan and I love Clueless Gamer, but I know how he reacted to other games, so this just made me realize XV probably doesn't have the mainstream appeal SE thinks it has



    That it just has not enough boobs for Conan :P

    Laughed and cringed at the same time, some parts were funny, but got a large " this is Japanese and anime-ish, so it's weird and let's laugh at it " vibe.


    Especially when there's a guy next to him, that's starred in movies, where it has a almost naked golem obsessed with a ring and speaks to himself and small people with crazy hairy feet.

    Also, no jokes about Cidney, and Conan is a total perv!

    Well, looks like Tabata succeeded in desexualizing her, I guess

    They give him a chance to play the game and they make him play the part where he has to push a car through a desert.

    Talk about tedious padding. And that's a part they hope to highlight? This game is a mess.

    Call him just a comedian and discredit him all you want. He's played plenty of other games before, but this is the first one I can remember where he calls it out of being smurfing ridiculous.

    You're seriously going to judge a game by how it got presented to Conan?

    On a show called "Clueless Gamer"?
