Assassin’s Creed… The Board Game？! (Do We Really Need This？) - Error Code Show

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.280
You're gonna have to be a stupid board game.

00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:06.980
Why? Why? Explain it to me, okay? The example

00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:09.119
of this that we're gonna bring our folks today,

00:00:09.380 --> 00:00:11.380
and I love Assassin's Creed. Everybody who knows

00:00:11.380 --> 00:00:15.320
me knows I love me some Assassin's Creed. I do,

00:00:16.019 --> 00:00:23.320
okay? It's a great, great franchise. But, but

00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:32.369
look, okay? What? Okay. It's just, it's a board

00:00:32.369 --> 00:00:40.130
game. Immersive board game? No, I'm sorry. Wait,

00:00:40.850 --> 00:00:43.630
where, where on this board? Where on this board

00:00:43.630 --> 00:00:46.509
am I infiltrating historic settings? Show me.

00:00:46.829 --> 00:00:54.619
Right now. Where? Where? No, I'm not. I'm not.

00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:56.920
You'll infiltrate. It's he's got he's missing

00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.200
an arm. Look at this. You'll infiltrate breathtaking

00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.579
historical. I bet it won't look like that on

00:01:02.579 --> 00:01:06.420
the board game and stalk your target. No. No,

00:01:06.459 --> 00:01:08.640
I bet you I'm not going to. Brings their own

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:13.299
time. Location. OK. Enemies. I'm sure there is

00:01:13.299 --> 00:01:15.920
a card to jump into chat. Thank you for an exciting

00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.780
experience with decisions to make. No missions

00:01:19.780 --> 00:01:24.140
and endless replayability. Assassin's Creed Animus

00:01:24.140 --> 00:01:27.299
is more than a board game. It's your gateway

00:01:27.299 --> 00:01:32.799
to a world of stealth and adventure. Why? Look,

00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.000
I like board games. I really do. They're cool,

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:42.879
right? They're super fun. Super fun. Why do we

00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:50.829
have to make everything a board game? This really

00:01:50.829 --> 00:01:57.370
does not make any sense at all. Like anyone that

00:01:57.370 --> 00:02:01.689
would be anyone that's a fan of Assassin's Creed

00:02:01.689 --> 00:02:06.370
is going to be playing Assassin's Creed the video

00:02:06.370 --> 00:02:10.669
game and not the board game. It doesn't it does

00:02:10.669 --> 00:02:20.259
not make sense. I like board games, right? And

00:02:20.259 --> 00:02:24.780
to answer somebody in the chat, right? Somebody

00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:26.240
said, didn't we move beyond board games and video

00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:28.740
games? No, board games are still extremely popular.

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:33.719
They are a very, very popular piece of entertainment.

00:02:33.939 --> 00:02:36.639
And I love board games. I have some board games

00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.240
downstairs that I absolutely adore, okay? And

00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:41.860
experiences and stuff that you can do with board

00:02:41.860 --> 00:02:44.400
games that you can't do in video games, okay?

00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:46.840
And board games absolutely have their place.

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:56.240
Again love them I I don't under we don't need

00:02:56.240 --> 00:03:01.500
to license everything to a board game Okay Excuse

00:03:01.500 --> 00:03:05.500
me This Kickstarter is actually not doing great

00:03:05.500 --> 00:03:09.099
for such a big franchise. It's only at a hundred

00:03:09.099 --> 00:03:13.599
and eighty three thousand With fourteen hundred

00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:17.419
sixty six backers, that's not huge because no

00:03:17.419 --> 00:03:24.060
one wants it i i i don't understand what we're

00:03:24.060 --> 00:03:40.020
doing there's a solo mood mode what i just don't

00:03:40.020 --> 00:03:43.840
again i don't understand what we're attempting

00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:50.960
here This has to be someone's like, I don't know,

00:03:51.259 --> 00:03:55.780
high school marketing project or something that

00:03:55.780 --> 00:03:57.680
they're not going to get a good grade on. Somebody

00:03:57.680 --> 00:03:59.259
sitting there going money, money, money in the

00:03:59.259 --> 00:04:01.060
chat. And here's the thing. It's not it hasn't

00:04:01.060 --> 00:04:03.979
raised that much for I'm telling you, for a Kickstarter,

00:04:04.340 --> 00:04:07.599
one hundred and forty three thousand is not is

00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:09.860
not especially again with a licensed IP like

00:04:09.860 --> 00:04:17.449
this. That is not a big number. With only night

00:04:17.449 --> 00:04:20.250
they'll get some last minutes so they'll get

00:04:20.250 --> 00:04:23.509
some they'll get some jumps, but yeah, that's

00:04:23.509 --> 00:04:32.170
not a great number Yeah, I just I Don't get it

00:04:32.170 --> 00:04:34.050
right and this kind of brings us back to our

00:04:34.050 --> 00:04:36.449
last segment, right? Magic does all the universes

00:04:36.449 --> 00:04:39.009
be on set. So we license everything into magic

00:04:39.009 --> 00:04:42.870
and added into magic. Oh Which I almost feel

00:04:42.870 --> 00:04:44.850
is less ridiculous than trying to make a board

00:04:44.850 --> 00:04:48.920
game out of Assassin's Creed Right. Actually,

00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:51.579
so here's here's your question. What ridiculous

00:04:51.579 --> 00:04:56.000
IP would you make into a board game into a terrible

00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:03.439
board game, Jay? I would do. What is it? Is it

00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:07.899
called the war room from the X -Men? There you

00:05:07.899 --> 00:05:13.379
go. Yeah, VT pilot, tell me what tell me what

00:05:13.379 --> 00:05:15.360
name that is that you just kickstarted that you

00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.100
said. Because I actually want to compare that

00:05:18.100 --> 00:05:26.939
And actually this is a good This is a good point

00:05:26.939 --> 00:05:29.439
So I'm gonna go back here. We're gonna look at

00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.139
the Assassin's Creed one. It's raised 183 thousand

00:05:32.139 --> 00:05:35.300
dollars Right, we're gonna go in and we're gonna

00:05:35.300 --> 00:05:39.560
look at this other one right this is one that's

00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.139
not a licensed IP small indie one and this is

00:05:43.139 --> 00:05:50.040
why I say it's not it's got two hours left and

00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:56.519
it's a 290 ,000 right it's a mech board game

00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.620
right but it's raised more money than an assassin's

00:05:59.620 --> 00:06:03.379
creed one by a considerable margin with less

00:06:03.379 --> 00:06:08.480
backers right I had the Star Trek next -generation

00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:12.500
VCR board game. So did I and that thing was awesome

00:06:12.500 --> 00:06:16.459
And it felt dating simulator, thank you YouTube

00:06:16.459 --> 00:06:19.860
chat, okay, yeah So yeah, which one would you

00:06:19.860 --> 00:06:24.199
make sorry like what ridiculous one? The X -Men

00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.720
like the the battle the war room or whatever.

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.879
Oh, there you go. The danger room the danger

00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.259
room. There you go. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I

00:06:32.259 --> 00:06:37.170
would do stupid We don't need to license everything

00:06:37.170 --> 00:06:39.670
into a board game Okay, there's certain places

00:06:39.670 --> 00:06:42.389
where the IP should just not cross over right

00:06:42.389 --> 00:06:44.949
some places IP crossover makes a lot of sense,

00:06:44.949 --> 00:06:52.370
right? This is this is not one of them. So Stop

00:06:52.370 --> 00:06:55.350
it just stop, please
