In Violent Times, You Shouldn't Have to Sell Your Soul | Sacred Symbols, Episode 355

After years of hard work (and tons of external speculation), Sony-owned developer Bungie has finally revealed gameplay from and tons of details concerning its next project, Marathon. An extraction shooter that will be sold for a mid-range price ($40 seems to be the going guess), reactions to the project have been mixed. Does a large market for a game like this exist? Is the cost of entry too prohibitive? Is it DOA like Concord? Honestly, we feel like a lot of people are overreacting one way or another, but one thing's for sure: For some, any payment is too much. Speaking of cash-money, prices for PlayStation 5 hardware and/or PS+ subscriptions alike are going up in various parts of the world, including Europe, Australia, and Canada. Is Sony trying to inoculate itself from American tariff threats by exploiting safer markets? Or are global currencies and economies really doing that poorly? Amongst other news comes, of course, listener inquiries. As Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 draws ever-nearer, what's our collective gut-check? Could rumors of a Prototype 3 actually be real? Have we gotten to the point where trashing games has become tropey? Are we closer than ever to discovering the identity of the woman who was crying in the bathroom during Sacred 200?

Great job on the relationship advice, very balanced perspectives. Stay strong dating dude. I'm rooting for you.

Kameron mouton

Finally an actual nuanced conversation about marathon , good convo guys!

Kronic

I’m the buddy asking about the lore… ready for the divorce.

I doubt there is any other gaming podcast in the world in which there is such a diverse crew of people that is able to talk about so many types of games so succinctly from such a deep well of knowledge than LSM. Especially Chris' and Dustin's observations and intuitions stand out to me. I also deeply appreciate that there are few interruptions between the hosts and regulars. This is classic radio quality talk.

I think its a huge mistake to charge 40 bucks for Marathon. I'll say the same thing I said when Concord came out. You have to compete with Fortnite, Valorant, Apex, Counter Strike, Overwatch which are all FREE. They are free and have way way more content than Marathon is going to give. I would suggest if they need to charge money for it go for 19.99. That is a way easier price to convince friends to pay if the game is good.

I worry more about his asbestos infested house.

To everyone interested in the baseless monetary system in the U.S. (same here in EU) I highly recommend Robert Kiyosaki. He explains it in simple terms.

Colin if you want some more value out of Max maybe try The Righteous Gemstones

I just wanted to say thanks for answering my timestamps write-in for SS Ep. 354! I'm only just listening to it now, but that's because I listen to every show. I don't benefit from the 3-days-early access but subscribe anyways to support the great content. Thanks for the laughs!

Nothing quite compares to prepping your yard for that first couple of mows each season. Got my shit looking fresh AF bois... And no I'm not talking about my balls...

Make America Grodd Again

Can’t Believe Kingston’s Dad made an appearance on the podcast this week

Dustin the gouvernent printed 1.1 Trillions in the US alone from 2020-2024 globally is unfudamable. It is more then any 4 years spam in history for the US. And the riches .1% make billions also on stock ect. Which it totally fuck .

Proximity chat in an competitive game is dumb. None of the examples Chris mentioned are competitive games, but extraction co-op titles. If anywhere, this could work in Helldivers. In Marathon... nah.

Gooch Gobbler

The Rehearsal and Hacks just came back too! The Pitt is good for a doctor show. Tons of great movies on there. It's not some mid ass sci fi or history show though so Colin probably won't check it out (I'm still salty at wasting my time on For All Mankind)

Issac Woosley

I actually love For All Mankind haha

Born-Blind

I'm completely desensitized to all audible or visual stimuli. Years of working in the IT/AV industry have completely singed my soul to the point where I can literally have a podcast goin, while on hold with tech support, while in the phone with my project manager, while a customer is trying to explain their issue to me. At some point it's just noise.

Born-Blind

Sacred + Episode Idea "Ex Wives of Sacred Symbols" I am down. Make it happen

Jacob Martin

Hey Diddlers, with Ghost of Yotai being announced for October... does this mean Sony got wind of GTA6 delay and locked that date? Is GTA6 news coming soon?
