Exciting !!! Diving in

Great line up. This has gone on to be one of Playstations best years in a long time. Honestly, they have ensured to always have something lined up exclusively to fill put holes from first party. Rise of Ronin Stellar Blade Helldivers 2 Pacific Drive Astro Bot Wukong Rebirth And now Silent Hill 2. Damn that's a stacked year, and not even including all the multiple games.

Observer never gets any love or recognition. Only Layers of Fear gets mentioned. Observer is an atmospheric masterpiece, anyone who has played it knew they were going to nail SH2

Gonna be a banger episode. Also the thumbnail is fire!

We do not need nuance in gaming discourse. It is very black and white. There is a clear and obvious reason why the games industry is in its current state, and it all started around 2014. There was a huge push to get non white men into the gaming industry. A push to get more women and minorities in, the problem is, because of that push, you have an industry filled with dispassionate people. People who see it as nothing but another career. They have no passion to create. They have no passion for art. They were not naturally drawn to games. They were mediocre people who were told they could have a career. You are now seeing the fruits of that initiatives labor play out. An overcrowded industry filled with non artists who think a job in the arts gets done on a 9-5 schedule. Many people need to lose their jobs, many studios need to be closed. This industry needs a reset.

Sucking Duck for Quack

Greatly appreciate all the suggestions!! I’ll write in for the next episode and let you know what I decide on.

I really don't understand what Lock's problem is with FF16? It also deals with themes of racism in a serious way and I can absolutely see the parallels to Game of Thrones even though I've only seen the first two seasons. I felt like the story is very grounded and serious and explored the themes in a mature way. I absolutely loved that about it. I think Lock saw "giant magic person" and wrote the game off in the first ten minutes because of his bias against Japanese games or JRPGs in general.

Matty - I disagree that Halo studios is just a rebrand. There seems to have been a very very very high level of turnover at 343i/halo studios since the release of halo and also in the last several months. This feels like the SuperSonics rebranding to the thunder and having a completely new team and culture aside from a few vets. Random ass example if you watch basketball I know you’re a hockey guy.

Lock was being condescending but Starfields faults 100% actually make Fallout 4 a better game now. Fallout 4 feels like a breath of fresh air after dealing with the constant fast travel and skill tree progression of Startield.

Well Matty I have some terrible news regarding the BGS answer to Shattered Space. It seems they are 100% tone deaf indeed. As long as Emil Pagliarulo is not only a part of BGS but an important and influential part of BGS then I’m convinced they are never releasing another good game.

Lunar Tear

Ys X mentioned by Matty. Hell yeah.

Matty, on Starfield, I wouldn’t say it’s a fault of jetpacks or floating but more of just bad map design or gameplay design in general when you add in how poorly the car maneuvers and dips the frame rate. To that influence question: Matty is an influence on Trails. While I don’t like the series, I would’ve never even heard of or tried it if it wasn’t for him. Ben Moore, Michael Huber, and Brad are the reason I tried and got into Yakuza, Persona, and probably FF7 Remake as well. Frame Trap shout out. ❤️
