Our Avowed Review Is HERE - Did It Deliver?! | Defining Duke, Episode 215

After a long build up, the boys have played and finished Avowed! Joining the Dukes is Gene Park where we discuss everything from our combined experience with Avowed, to a preview with South Of Midnight, and even Sony's recent State Of Play. While there are few subjects to tackle, each of them have a lot of meat on their bones. So, let's not delay any further. Is Obsidian's latest RPG worth the dive?

Yall could get back in the bag a bit more with the thumbnails imo, this one feels a touch milquetoast

Bartevious

Touché. Maybe I’m wanting “Like show, like thumbnail” because I know the fellas won’t leave me dissatisfied 👀😶

Please don’t take this the wrong way, because this is not meant as any criticism towards LSM’s other show hosts, but… Whether it is because Gene has had a particularly good day, health/mood wise, or perhaps he is just simply thrilled to hang with the Dukes, Gene is energized in a way that I feel like I haven’t seen, in a while. The chemistry, within the crew, is on point. I ❤️ this threesome!

Gene Park

yeah i was actually excited to chat with them. it’s been a while so it felt fun and energetic. thanks for listening man

I"m just gonna check out Avowed on Gamepass. Matty's takes are always interesting to hear, but I just think that someone who has not played millions of hours of RPGs will prob react a lot differently, and that's not a dig against matty or anything. Its impossible to put ourselves in the shoes of a gamer who maybe has not palyed a million of these western RPGs at this point.

With Halo Infinite, Avowed, Starfield, Redfall and Hellblade 2 etc all being dissapointing I can't look forward to south of midnight or fable the quality has been so hit or miss this gen

Enjoyed the tag line in your wapo review Gene, and looks like it will scratch the skyrim itch, even if the dialogue is meh.

Shout out to alien vs predator! Used to play it at the bowling alley arcade while my dad bowled. Great memories watching the older kids get further in the game. My $2 stipend in quarters got used up pretty quick with those quarter munchers as a 9 yr old 😂

Gene has great synergy with the Dukes. Fun episode to listen to.

Hello Dukes, this may seem like an odd request but I have been listening to the podcast for around 2 years now and loved everything you guys have had to say about Xbox providing (in my opinion) the most unbiased news on all Xbox-related topics. I have finally subscribed to the Patreon to show my support for the dukes but also i need some help. I am a senior in college and doing a research paper on Xbox game studios specifically about acquisitions. I was wondering which episodes you guys best recommend I listen to hear your best coverage of the ABK deal and others. As well as if there are any other articles and such you think I should check out. Thank you dukes and sorry for the long comment.
