The Nextlander Podcast 263: Open-World Inflation (Patreon)

Other podcasts talk about Grand Theft Auto VI, but we bring in Video Games Chronicle's Jordan Middler to talk about Metal Gear Solid 6 (and also GTA 6). And also Onimusha: Way of the Sword, The Blood of Dawnwalker, annualized Silent Hill, the furloughing of the Star Wars Zero Company team, and the lunacy of 96-course, eight-player Mario Kart on a single TV.
