Howdy Wii-DVD loving cohorts, What era of gaming in your lifetime did you pay attention to the least? Was there ever a period you didn't really play games or didn't have the time or just didn't have the latest system and missed out of an era of games? For me, it was any PC gaming of the early 2000s, since I had no PC. I totally missed games that defined this era like Half Life 1, the Civilization series, Runescape, Everquest and WoooooooooooooW. Thanks Bob

Hello, Ben and friends! I love single-player, story-driven superhero action games. Both Neversoft and Insomniac's Spider-Men, and almost all the Arkham games are 100% my jam. The trailers for Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad look pretty cool and it's nice to see something that's at least Batman-adjacent, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't secretly wish for developers to pick a more obscure property and elevate it for games the way Marvel elevated Guardians of the Galaxy for movies. Are there any unexplored or under-explored superheroes you'd like to see in video game form? I'd personally love to see a game based on The Maxx, where tapping a button would switch between the outback and the real world, or a game based on Moon Knight that incorporated the character's split personalities and conflicting alter egos.

If you’re anything like me, and I know I am, you love the Batman Arkham games. I was late to the series and the first one I played was Origins on the Wii U. Then I played City on the Wii U - which is objectively the best version of the game. I bought a PS4 to play Arkham Knight when it came out in 2015. When Rocksteady released their Return to Arkham Remaster edition a couple years ago, I finally played through the original Arkham Asylum. I love them all and consider them 10/10 games. I always hear people say that Asylum is their favorite, while Origins has always been mine. I think that is because I played Origins first and I have the foundest memories of being blown away by the game play and combat system. Do you think the order in which we play games of a popular series influences the affinity we hold for each game?

Helllllooooo Ben and the cohorts, In regard to the previous conversation about mascots, the only one I can think of as new and for this generation is Astro Bot for Playstation 4 and now the PS5. Outside of that my question is, why aren't there more games that have a section to re-watch in game cinematics? Nioh 2 is the most recent that comes to mind, but not much else. There are times when i want to rewatch the cinematics for different reasons, missed some dialouge, want to rewatch for a detail or to catch up after not playing for a while. You can't always find these cinematics on youtube, especially some of the non-popular games, and it would great to see this option more than we do. Keep up the great work!

Hello gents. What is the most expensive game you own, or have owned ? I was a proud owner of the CD-i Zelda games when I was 9. I do very much regret my parents selling them for probably the price of a croissant. Cheers.

Deep Space Trace

In the spirit of this past weekend's superhero extravaganza, which superhero would you like to see get their very first standalone game? I think a Magneto or Wonder Woman game would be dope.

Noah D.

Hi MinnMax crew! I've been playing a ton of psvr lately and I realized VR isn't something that is discussed a lot on the show. So I'm wondering, are any of you currently playing any VR titles, if so, which ones? All the best, Noah D- Los Angeles

Michael Moran

Do you have a favorite skateboarding documentary? My favorites are Dogtown and Z Boys, Bones Brigade, and Minding The Gap. The first two are directed by Stacy Peralta (of THUG fame) and give his autobiographical account of two major skateboarding eras. Minding The Gap is very different, a hard look into the life of some friends who happen to skateboard, it received an Oscar nom in 2019.

Jay Purrington

Hey Cohorts (who love computers), I just wanna say that I think Gotham Knights had one of the best presentations of any game we've seen this year. I saw way more emphasis on world-building and story than possible 'games of service' pitfalls, and at a scale that rivals Spider-Man PS4 (looking at the Electro zapping the city in the distance). One of the most interesting things that caught my attention was how the game scales. In the Dev vlog version, they state that you can tackle sub-arcs at any level, and depending on when you do the big baddie can come at you with not only stat buffs, but entirely new mechanics which I think alone can help replayability. So I have a question: What are your favorite ways a game has up'd the challenge outside of stat changes? Keep up the good work and good luck with the move!

Danny Yorkus

Hello Beni Gabor and the MinnMaxaroonies! My question is not video game related but I was wondering if any of you have paid for live show streams of bands you like during this quarantine. It sounded kind of lame to me at first but one of my favorite bands, Northlane, had a stream this past weekend. It was only 10 dollars, amazing production quality, and I got to support the band while not having to drive into the city, pay 30 dollars for parking, and fight through crowds of sweaty drunk people. On top of all that they had a different band member chatting with the viewers during each stream. Can't get that at a live show! Thanks for all you do!

Derin

Hello MinnMax, It's time for everyone's favorite historical game show... "Did this historical figure appear in Assassin's Creed!" I'm going to give you a name of a famous person from history, and you just have to tell me if that person did or did not appear in a mainline Assassin's Creed game. Bonus points if you can say which specific game that person was in. Alright, here we go! Thomas Jefferson? Yes (Assassin's Creed 3) Blackbeard? Yes (Assassin's Creed Black Flag) Michelangelo? No Charles Darwin? Yes (Assassin's Creed Syndicate) King Tut? No Alexander Hamilton? No Winston Churchhill? Yes (Syndicate, not many people remember that you do get to play in London during World War I in that game.) Nicola Tesla? No Socrates? Yes (AC Odyssey) Niccolo Machiavelli? Yes (AC2) Napoleon Bonaparte? Yes (AC Unity)

ProcyonNumber6

Hey Ben and the CLCs, while playing Sea of Thieves on Gamepass I was trying to figure out why I felt so immersed. Answer: No radar/minimap. I got to thinking how so many games I find myself watching the radar/minimap more what's happening in the game. Easy question, what game do you find yourself so distracted by the radar/HUD that it takes away from your experience?

TommenDotGif

Hi Everyone What's the worst part about your favorite game or series? Thank you! You guys are great!

Hey Howdy Hey Hanson and the ‘Horts, After 5 years of complete and utter silence from one of my favorite game development studios, Rocksteady finally debuted the trailer for its new game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (where is the colon?). After the trailer dropped, all I seem to be hearing from fans is ….. complete and utter silence. What happened? Personally, I am excited for this game, but something about this trailer didn’t “WOW” everyone. I was expecting to watch the trailer and go “WOOOOWWW” (naisly inflection of Owen Wilson), but instead just went, “oh cool! 4 player co-op cool. Two years away though *sigh*” How about you? Were you “wowwwwweeedd” by Rocksteady’s announcement? If not, what do you want? Thanks, Greg “FlaminQueso”

Adam Cohen

Hey MinnMaxers, I've got some bad news. An evil wizard has kidnapped you in order to perform an experiment. He's going to blow up the house of one of your good friends, killing your friend and his family. He is going to give you a chance to save them, however. He is going to send your consciousness into the body of their family dog. You'll have all of your current knowledge, but you can't do anything that a dog physically can't, like use human words, hold a pen, etc... You have two hours to get everyone out of the house safely. How do you go about it? Are you able to save the day?

Dunder

Seeing as how it’s almost September, what day do you predict next-gen console prices and launch lineups will be announced by Microsoft and Sony? Are there any big unannounced launch games that will WOW us?

Zack

Hey Suriel! On MinnFAQs, you mentioned Thems Fightin Herds as a good fighting game for beginners, and I was wondering if you'd be able to talk more about your experience with that game as a whole. I'm someone who backed them on kickstarter and I own the game purely out of fandom for My Little Pony, but I've never actually played it because I'm not into fighting games. I'm interested in hearing the opinion of someone coming in from the complete opposite perspective: someone who likes fighting games but (I assume) has no connection with MLP. Did you watch the Grand Stampede tournament they put on in the wake of EVO being canceled?

Bucket of Jello

What is all of your favorite LAN Party memories?

Hey Ben & CLCs, I actually have a computer related question for you guys this week. I'm currently planning and gathering the parts for my next PC which will include one of the new Nvidia 3000 series graphics cards that will be announced on September 1st. My question is, do any of you get excited about new PC hardware and enjoy building/upgrading your own PCs? Do you personally think new PC hardware can be as exciting or more exciting than a new console release? And finally, to RGB or not to RGB? Thanks!

Mark Ramirez

Hey Ben & the CLC’s With the 3 weekends of the Avengers beta wrapped up, I am excited for this game. I know a majority of people like to dunk on it, but like with the launch of Destiny 1&2, there is a base level of fun there that I am hopeful Crystal Dynamics builds/tweaks on to improve as this game continues. A lot of people are frustrated by others who enjoy a game that isn’t up to their standards, which raised a question for me. Are people allowed to be excited about an 8 out of 10 game?

Joe Stone

Hey Ben and the gang, After finishing Ghost of Tsushima and with a bit of a wait until any big titles which particularly grab me, I decided to play through a few of the smaller indie games in my backlog that I'd heard were good and had been meaning to get around to for ages. I played Inside, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and What Remains of Edith Finch, and HOLY JEEZ! Despite having heard nothing but praise for all of these titles in both the press and from my friends and being excited about playing all of them, each one of them still blew me away with how much better they were than I was expecting — especially Inside, which has shot into my favourites of all time.  What are some games that exceeded your already high expectations, whether that's from positive press or just your own general hype? Thanks! Joe

Zack

A lot of games with light rpg elements like to claim that you can tailor your character to match the playstyle you want, or that the world will react to the choices you make. Many open world games claim that you can go anywhere and do anything within their sandbox environments. Whenever I hear anything along these lines in a game's marketing, I always think the exact same thing, regardless of setting or context: I want to be Batgirl. I don't care that it doesn't make sense for Barbara Gordon to be running around Tamriel Shouting at dragons, you bet your bottom I'm gonna make my Skyrim character a redhead that relies on nonlethal stealth and fisticuffs to the fullest extent that those systems allow for. Surprisingly few games actually have satisfying options for this kind of thing, but I'm cautiously optimistic for both Watch Dogs Legion and Cyberpunk 2077, and needless to say I'm very excited about Gotham Knights as the first ever "real" Batgirl game. So, question for y'all, what is the most specific niche thing you've tried to roleplay in a game that clearly wasn't designed for it?

DylanDuranged

Hey Everyone, I was wondering what your favorite INSTANT DEATHS in a video game are? Deaths where you are at FULL health one second and then ZERO health the next second. Deaths that you may not see coming. My example: Chainsaw Decapitation in Resident Evil 4.

Thom Blackburn

Hi everybody, With Obsidian setting Avowed in the same universe as their pillars of eternity games, what other genres would you like to see in their existing locations? From memory: New vegas The outer worlds' worlds South park + canada Grounded backyard Kotor 2 places Maybe others?

Lots of people are annoyed at the new AAA co-op trend, seemingly worried everything is being turned into a Destiny clone, with endless relatively repetitive content. With Avengers this criticism seems fair. But the recently announced Suicide Squad and Gotham Knights games seem to be more like Far Cry - open world campaigns with OPTIONAL co-op and seemingly focused on a specific story. There are already enough relatively formulaic single player open world games in my backlog to last 12 lifetimes. Why not mix up that formula a bit and offer more play options?

DangerZone

Howdy y’all I started Link’s Awakening on my Switch and I’m predominately playing in handheld. This made me realize that I mainly associate The Legend of Zelda with handhelds as I’ve only played the DS Zelda games and most of Breath of the Wild in handheld as well. So my question is this: What games and/or franchises do you think will be associated with alternate platforms in the future? For instance, many young gamers may already associate Minecraft and Fortnite with touch screens and tables rather than keyboards and even controllers. Keep up the great work!!! Jacob

Intermedium

Hey Ben and the boys, In many games these days, it's trivially easy to kill people. Even without melee weapons or firearms, protagonists can snap necks with ease. Assuming a game allows you to kill someone (Unlike Spider-Man or the Arkham games), in which game is it hardest to snuff someone out?

Donnie

Hey friends! So I’m struggling to find a way to convey this but here it goes: This year has been terrible for all the obvious reasons, and so far I’ve struggled to find something that boosts my spirits. Out of the blue this trailer for The Batman hits and I’m excited for something like I haven’t been since before anyone thought about pandemics or the like. Even Cyberpunk, my most anticipated game of the last few years hasn’t gotten me this excited. It was just a weird relief to know I can still feel that good about something coming up despite everything. Have you guys experienced anything like that this year? Or am I crazy?

AnAttackCorgi

Hello CLCs! If you had a gaming superpower what would it be (example, don't need to sleep when playing a videogame; perfect headshot aim; quick reflexes; etc)

Fatt Mish

How do you do, fellow kids? Just wanted to say hello to you all and also "thank you" for all the fun content and making life better for so many people. My question is, what is something you see changing in the future of games and general entertainment, now that our world is a little different than it was last year? Do you guys and gals think there will be a difference with the Chinese market growing as fast as it is? I think it's hard to tell how different gaming and movies will be, but I'm looking forward to new experiences like Neuralink, dream recording, and new simulated worlds from easier creation tools. Thanks for reading my question and thank you so much for all the fun and enlightening podcast episodes!

Doreen Ford

The new Batman trailer was surprisingly interesting. I say surprising because I feel pretty burnt out on Batman at this point. In fact, I'd hazard that's why Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad are both decidedly *not* including B-Man this time around. Where are y'all on Batman these days? Is he overused or is there some hidden potential still left? I'd love to see a more detective themed and brutal version of Batman for a movie, what about y'all?

James Smith

Hey Ben and the Blender Crew, I've been playing a lot of Flight Simulator these past few days, traveling everywhere from the Rub' al Khali desert to the Madagascar, and it has me saying a lot of things like "hey, I'd love to live here!" So if you could live anywhere in the world without any concequences to your career or personal life, where would you live? P.S. You probably don't want to live in the Rub' al Khali... P.P.S. I've done the research and I proclaim the true God's Country is Mont Blanc in the French Alps. That place is other worldly!

LaRay M. Hare

What’s up MinnMax (2 Enns)? LaRay M. Hare aka BluMayhem in the Discord. I have a question about console wars in general. What generation would have been considered the first Console War? Obviously, the first I remember was “Sega does what Nintendon’t.” But were there significant wars before that generation?

MarriottPlayer

Hello MrnMixrs, What is your least favorite entry in your favorite video game franchise? Thanks,

Christopher Reed

Dearest MinnMax, is there a reasonable human equivalent to the public shaming and disgrace that a dog feels wearing an e-collar (AKA the cone of shame)?

Edgar Vazquez

Hey you zodiac lovers! I think it’s time to build our own video game zodiac. After looking at the top 741 games (I used Smash rules), I’ve compiled a list of the top reviewed games, grabbed the first release in their series and ordered them by their month only keeping the first 10 games. Your job, if you wish to accept it, is to decide on a single game to represent each month. We’ll do two months per session. First up, January and February! -- January -- Celeste (Jan 26, 2018) Kentucky Route Zero (Jan 7, 2013) Freedom Force (Jan 9, 2002) Slay the Spire (Jan 23, 2019) Dusk (Jan 10, 2018) --------------------------------------------- Gave up after 5 -- February -- Legend of Zelda (Feb 21, 1986) SimCity (Feb 2, 1989) Demon Souls (Feb 2, 2009) flower (Feb 12, 2009) Siphon Filter (Feb 17, 1999) Pokemon (Feb 27, 1996) Hollow Knight (Feb 24, 2017) Silent Hill (Feb 23, 1999) Intro the Breach (Feb 27, 2018) Stardew Valley (Feb 26, 2016) ----------------------------------------

Sean Burke

Hey guys, Any of you check out SGDQ? What were some of your favorite runs? Baba is You and Batman Arkham City were two of my faves. Hanson should definitely check out the Baba run. Looking forward to the show!

Shawn Mills

Now that Microsoft Flight Simulator has been out for a little while I have to ask, Is it an impossible game to review? You could argue it deserves a very high score for it's ambition and what it was able to accomplish but doing so ignores the technicial limitations and lack of features it currently possesses. How could you even begin to assign a score to something so massive in scope and with so much potential that's arguably not even a game in its current form.

Chris Logan

Ben and Crew, seriously, it's time for JeffM to update his Twitter handle. Here it is: @JeffMM (two M's)

Matt Robinson

Happy tony hawk day to you all and may you all land a Christ air on this most holiest of days. My question has nothing to do with tony hawk though. Are there any games that feature a skatepark in a non skateboarding game that drive you crazy? I think every GTA has had one since San Andreas but i think the most egregious is Sony’s Spider Man. I mean there’s this sick park and I just wanna go rip it up bro!!!!

MickManga

Getting trapped inside a game is a very popular genre of anime right now soooo... With your current skill with video games. If you were trapped inside your favorite genre of video games and retained your skill, would you be able to survive?

Sam Morrow

Hello MinnMax hosts. Hearing you talk About Oregon Trail on last weeks podcast got me thinking: What would a sim game about our lifetime look like 100 years in the future? What are the struggles, the goals, and the gameplay?

Jason Wojnar

Hi Friends, why do you think Microsoft doesn't care about territories outside of North America? I live in Ukraine and Sony pushes PlayStation hard while Microsoft does virtually zero to market their product. Though Xbox ones are on sale, xbox live is not officially supported (and I'm not sure if gamepass even works without a VPN). Nintendo is much the same, with Switches few and far between and expensive.

Fred Dinovo

Howdy folks, On my birthday recently I beat my sister in another game of basketball, a common occurrence. What is an UNcommon thing you all do regularly? Boomshakalaka, Fred

FlaminQueso

Hey howdy hey Hanson and the 'horts, As someone who foolishly decided to not own a PS4 during this gen of consoles, a PS5 is a no-brainier for me. There is only one thing holding me back from getting it. No, it's not the cost. Its the SIZE. I cannot get over how absolutely massive this console is. Where the heck am i supposed to put that system? Its not going to fit in my entertainment center. By estimates the PS5 is almost 16" x 9" . For comparison, the PS4 is 11x12. by itself in pictures, it looks OK, but next to other consoles, i just go "woooowwwww." Where will you put a PS5 if you get one and are you worried about how incredibly chonky this boi is? Thanks, Queso

Rickfromatlanta

Hi all, I was wondering with the sad announcement of the closure of the Gaming Ride Home Podcast would you all be interested in adding a similar show. I personally like hearing a daily quick bite news show to keep me informed and up to date. It can be called the MaxMinute. Thanks

Conor

With the rumored nintendo direct supposedly certainly maybe possibly absolutely potentially going to drop this Friday, what is the most off the wall but relevant to nintendo old franchise that could revived? Earthbound 4? A new actual Star Fox game? Bakugan 2?

Jonathan Dinh

Hey Ben and the CLC's Jon here, I've been replaying Horizon on PC after having played through it on launch and never have played the DLC. I forgot how much I love that in combat you can intentionally take off parts of the machines to either cripple or give you an edge like the heavy guns. It's slightly more involved than just headshot for crit, legshot to make them fall, etc. How would you like to implement more depth in Forbidden West or in a different game entirely? Also, if you were a D&D character, what would your alignment be? The only one I'm sure of is Ben is as Chaotic Good as possible.

Noah D.

Hi MinnMaxers, I just finished Vader Immortal on the psvr and thought it was an amazing experience (despite some bugs). It did a great job bringing the vibe of the movies into an immersive vr experience. What other movie properties do you think would make a cool vr experience? All the best, Noah D- Los Angeles
