Xbox's Big Bet On Black Ops 6 - Did It Deliver?! | Defining Duke, Episode 200

The annual Call Of Duty release is here and it's a remarkable improvement from Modern Warfare 3! From the blockbuster campaign crafted by the underrated hands at Raven Software to its multiplayer and zombies that the Dukes have some mild concerns with. It's also the week that, for many, can define a lot of Xbox's big business decisions moving forward as well! With Game Pass subscribers stagnating a bit, many have looked to this Call Of Duty as the shot in the arm it needs to keep its stellar offering going. Keep in mind, the Game Pass tiers saw a major shift ahead of this release with some feeling like day one Game Pass releases may soon be off the table if this bet doesn't pan out. While the numbers aren't in yet, things are looking solid and the Dukes has much to talk about in this area! Plus more with Indiana Jones' framerate, updates on the tone of the next Mass Effect, Concord being shut down, and so much more!

So Happy to see you back in action Matty!!

Joe Rowland

Congrats on 200 Eps of DD ❤️

Matty, I commented on Summon Sign with a tone of doubt and dissent. I stepped back from that perspective in a reply to that comment. Just wanted to say, as someone who was quick to be emotionally responsive, I am rooting for you. I should have simply not commented my thoughts until I understood more about the situation. And, y’all are right. Upon some reflection - No, I don’t give a fuck about an NDA.

Miguel Siguenza

A play by play would have been cool for us who aren’t chronically online… still don’t know what happened

Avery

Just prestige last night 😝 blops 6 has me and the boys locked in, cross play goated

Jordan Falduto

i'm gonna try to keep this succinct and above the belt. -one of matty's editors leaked Dragon Age footage prior to the embargo lifting -someone close to that editor reposted the footage has said or said hateful comments (racist/transphobic) about the game -this dragon age entry is potentially contentious because of it's inclusion of trans options in the character creator and more. so the mob tells you, if you don't like this game you must be a transphobe. even after enjoying the preview and hoping bioware would be great this time around, matty did not like the game. -people who are rooting for the game to succeed attempted to connect the dots saying matty is actually the hateful person and he purposefully leaked the content because he's a bigot and a transphobe and wants the game to fail -many people ganged up on matty prior to his response and personal investigation. -matty later broke down what happened in a full twitter post that is still up there now

Eric Smith

Love ya, Matty! Glad to see you looking at the positives in the situation. Stay Sexy!

Avery

Matty Terminus (zombies map) was made for OG zombies players; you would love it. Liberty Balls however, was made for zoomers that will quit the game if they can't pack a punch at round 5 cause it TaKeS ToO LoNg 😂 Please play Terminus and let us know your thoughts next week 🙏🏿!!!

Bartevious

Not trying to stoke the flames here, nor am I insinuating that this is who Matty is talking about at 6:00 - however - fightincowboy and Jaffe lost my respect for the way they contributed to the conversation. No hate to anyone but I won’t be consuming either of those creators content as I view them as disingenuous people who won’t stand up for what’s right. On a more positive note, Congrats on 200 episodes fellas. Happy to say I haven’t missed a week since Cog took over Karak’s chair.

Jordan Wray

Jaffes first statement was poor, his second one was fine, all he could vouch for was how much of a great time he'd personally had with Matty as an individual. I agree though, his first one irked me a lot too.

Bartevious

It wasn’t as bad as fightincowboy. My problem is, why contribute to the conversation at all with statements like that first one. What’s the motive? Is it for clout or to appeal to the mob? It didn’t say anything meaningful about what was going on.

Bartevious

I actually only redownloaded twitter to check in on the situation - I no longer have it on my phone either and don’t want to fuck up a paraphrase from memory. But you should be able to find it if you google “fightincowboy Mrmattyplays x(dot)com”

Kyle Fokma

Thank you for providing the details. I had no idea this happened and really couldn’t find anything

CobraCodex

While I don't always agree with Matty, it's clear he has a genuine passion for games and the industry so it's a shame to see him targeted in this way. Not really tuned into social media but based on what I've heard and the emotionality of the intro I'm just happy he's taking it in stride as much as possible.

Danio

All the love to Matty, but I think that big "controversy" topic was a little mishandled on the podcast... A little explanation as to WTF actually happened in the beginning would be nice. Most people don't have twitter.

fugjug

Based on that intro you could tell me that Matty has been accused of sexually assaulting a disabled minor while repeatedly yelling the n-word and I'd have to believe you.

Héctor Gámez (Konoba7)

Thanks for the context. People have too much free time to do this nonsense, or the pay for bait engagement on twitter must be really good to be worth it.

Héctor Gámez (Konoba7)

Yep, that gave levels of a YouTube apology without explaining anything at all, LOL. If you guys are reading we love you, and we understand the situation must be tiring but at the same time, just like Danio, we are here because we don't want to engage on Twitter. This is where we get the news and stuff.

Largent Brewer

Great episode Matty, Cog! Matty I’ve been following you for 10 years and you have grown a lot since the early days. However, I have never questioned your integrity or intentions. You’re a good dude and you didn’t deserve the BS this week. Love you bro.

BigBotz One

I'm playing Dragon age as I'm watching this and I am having a blast playing it. I almost didn't play Star wars outlaws because of your review and would have missed out on one of my most memorable experiences I've had playing a game in 30 years. Now with this game I'm seeing a completely different game then you. Still love your content but I guess I don't have the same taste in games anymore. Looking forward to hearing about how Cog feels about the game when he plays it. Peace

Joseph Gedgaudas

Basically he said things weren't looking good for Matty and retweeted someone saying Matty was running the racist account himself. Then when the truth came out, instead of apologizing, just said he had an obligation as a content creator to comment on the situation.

Electric Soup

So glad you're calling out COD for it's "elimination" stat Matty. Can't stand it when games try to hide the truth so they don't hurt players' feelings with their K/D. It's "everyone gets a trophy" nonsense

Pan Ic

Did Matty say a gamer word or what happened?
