Torrez - Podcast

The podcast is about Starship Troopers and the games it influenced. The game is based on a novel and follows the story of a high school student named Johnny Rico who joins the military to fight alien bugs. The podcast also mentions a new video game called Helldivers 2, which is similar to Starship Troopers but has more content and does not require additional purchases. The host encourages listeners to check out the full breakdown of both games on his YouTube channel. Hello, and welcome. My name is Gregory Torres, and I will be your host today. I will be joined by my brother and co-host, Gabe, in the unedited and unfiltered podcast that is currently uploaded on my YouTube channel, Gregory Sean Torres. Please feel free to like, comment, and subscribe to my podcast. Today's podcast will be covering Starship Troopers and the games that it influenced. To give a little bit of background, the game was influenced by a novel written by Robert A. Heinlein, which covers the story of a young man named Johnny Rico. Johnny is a high school senior and the captain of his football team, but is struggling academically. He is unsure of what he wants to do once he graduates high school, but is influenced by his girlfriend, who intends to join the military and become a citizen of the Federation. But given his low grades, he was a little bit more suited to Vol 1 infantry, which is more of a combat ground force that is said to fight the alien bugs known as the Arachnids. Fast forward to today, and we find that this cult classic now has a new video game called Starship Troopers Extermination, whose gameplay is a little bit similar to Left 4 Dead's, if you happen to know what that is, but on a larger scale. This large-scale MMORPG focuses on horde modes, and the leading game mechanic is the learning AI system that feeds off of player tendencies to make the given maps a little bit more different each round. While it had a decent sales return, it fell somewhat flat due to the bugs that it had, no pun intended, in the game's code. Add on the fact that the player fanbase started to diminish a little bit due to the lack of content, server issues, and things like that, but we find that this promising game has now started to fall off of people's interests. I want to say it was their failures to maintain relevancy, and a new game has stepped up to fill those shoes. This game is called Helldivers 2, and it has everything that you would want and wish for in a game that involves guns, soldiers, robots, and of course, giant alien bugs. The game is somewhat reminiscent of Halo ODSC, and exemplifies what a sci-fi genre game should be. What makes this stand out is the content was already made available to the public, without any need for them to add on additional purchases, season packages, and things like that. Their driving force was to maintain a close relationship with the gaming community. The game boasts a number of modes, customization abilities, stat trackers, and much, much more. So I'd say it's safe to assume that they did what most games fail to do, and they provided a complete game without the need for any additional purchases or things like that. So if you want to hear more about our in-depth analysis, please head on over to my YouTube channel to listen to the full breakdown of the game Starship Troopers Extermination and Helldivers 2. Thank you for joining, and I'm looking forward to you joining me again on my next podcast on YouTube. Thank you, and have a good one.
