I’m playing stalker 2 on pc with a 4090 and it’s just too rough right now to recommend. Once optimized it would be a great title to play but currently people should probably gauge their expectations on the current polish.

Thank you boys for taking my question 👍🏻

I guess I won’t get stalker on my ROG ally since it might not run well, I’ll wait for ps5

Grateful for Summon Sign and the addition of Brad. Best show on LSM

Cog and Loc are by far the most fun to listen to when it comes to them describing games. You guys are really passionate. Love it.

If you are a Warcraft 3 fan check out Warcraft 2 Chronicles of the second war. It's the entire warcraft 2 orc campaign done in warcraft 3, with fully voiced cutscenes.

I completely disagree with Lock's take on Veilguard. The game is incredibly poorly written and the fact that "no one cares" that every character in Baldur's Gate 3 is romancable is proof that it isn't about the "wokeness" it's about the ATROCIOUS writing. It's also about the complete lack of meaningful choice. And to say that the anti-woke crowds main criticism is that there's a trans person and that's "completely untrue" because they're non-binary is just completely missing the point. The main criticism I see is of the writing. Finding the most fringe people and saying "that's the main criticism" is a strawman. The fact that, as you point out, no one had a problem with the progressivism in the other games is proof that you're strawmaning. That isn't the problem. The writing is the problem, and that is what MOST of the "anti-woke" criticism, as you call it, is about. So no, Veilguard isn't a victim of the culture or whatever Lock wants to blame it on. It's a victim of the creators forcing their ideology into the game at the expense of what made the games good in the first place. And all that so they can talk down to the player while putting themselves on a moral pedestal.

Gen 3 of pokemon is a sweet spot for me. The games are so beautiful to me.

Constellation appeared yesterday on the podcast app I use (Pocket Casts) but Summon Sign still has not! Any ideas?

Tanner Triv

Cog being scared to say Heismays name for spoiler reasons then name dropping an endgame mechanic that you only get 60 hours into the game is super funny to me lmaoo It's without context so i think it's overall okay, was just funny to me

Someone is coping hard on stalker 2. The game is a big mess right now.

I’ve never stopped playing Warcraft 3 since 2003, including the Reforged launch. So for Lock and anyone else, trust me, 2.0 isn’t perfect, but it’s huge and just have a lot of life to my favorite game of all time. The numerous new graphics options are great and the multiplayer is everything I ever wanted.

Dante B

Regarding Lock’s point that BG3 has plenty of LGBT content, so why doesn’t anyone care. That’s not the gotcha, we’re all hypocrites moment he presents it as. The “why not” IS the reason. The writing and how those themes are presented between those two games are miles apart. DA is cringe at best and incredibly condescending at worst. BG3 incorporates that content in a very organic, well written way.

Brad called Blastoise a giant war turtle but the second evolution form is called Wartortle.. 🫡

Been waiting for the Lock Veilguard talk!

Lock’s defense of Veilguard was pretty pathetic. The culture war nonsense was inserted by the devs, not the community. Look at the weirdos they hired to write that piece of shit.

NeO JD

Hell yeah Brad. Mudkip represent. I also went water starters for the first 3. Lock is another Squirtle Squad member too?! LSM represent! So far we’ve got Dagan, Brad, and Lock. 😎 Props to Lock on the Dragon Age discussion. I’m about half-way through the game and it’s just ok. Writing and scenarios can be atrocious at times.

Ethan Barcelos

Just wanna say, Lock? Low-key my favorite guest on the pods. Even though he's European, which says a lot ;)

Breno Bezerra Bluhm

Amazing episode guys! Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker is the greates sci-fi film of all time alongside Interstellar imo. It’s crazy how this masterpiece ended up killing him years later due to radiation.

Derek Alcott

I can't wait for everyone at LSM to be done with Metaphor hahaha. I know it's not a game for me. Just seems like the game will never end lol

Man, Lock's opinion on "controversial" games is always the same "oh the anti-woke don't even play the game and call it shit, I played it and it was OK-ish, good" he did that with suicide squad and doing it now with veilguard, you don't have to disagree with everything people you don't like say. Also the reason that people didn't have a problem with origins for being "progressive" or BG3 for being "woke" is because the games were well written and competently made, meaning people played them and they were judged accordingly. I also dislike people that judge stuff before they come out, but sometimes when it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck then... It's funny how many times it has happened that people have judged a game from the first trailer and it comes out and it is as bad or worse than it was judged.

Snorlax is also my favorite Pokemon! Lock is dead on with the Veilguard criticism. The issues have nothing to do with “woke”.

Luke Oliveto

Wow thanks for spoiling tf out of Metaphor and with zero spoiler warning to boot. God damn. If you're reading this and also playing through Metaphor then I suggest you stop listening at 2:20. Super lame cog
