Indiana Jones is an absolute banger, and Geoff Fest aka the Game Awards were pretty great too! We break it all down, from The Witcher 4 to Intergalactic and everything in between.
James explains Balatro to limited effect, but apparently it is very, very good in a way that belies the fact it is, in fact, just poker. Sort of.
Yeah, that was a break. But we're back! With games! Silent Hill 2, Astro Bot, Mario & Luigi Brotherhood, and more!
Echoes of Wisdom is out and about! It's a Zelda game, kind of.
We talk about Xbox's "strategy", Sun Wukong, and Elden Ring DLC!
It's a midsummer mish mash of games!
Hooooooo doggy Microsoft really stepped in it here - we really go deep on the yikes.
Erdtree! It's out! It's hard, unless you're a turtle.
All things Xbox and Ubisoft and Summer Games Fest, which had some pretty good stuff. Metal Gear Solid Delta, Star Wars Outlaws, Doom The Dark Ages, and more. But was it the best show ever like the internet is saying? No. Not by a long shot.
We dunk on State of Play, because it was sooooo weak. Destiny 2: The Final Shape seems cool though, and Guerilla Collection is the bees kness
Stellar Blade demo, Princess Peach Showtime, and, again, more Chadley hate (or love?).
Everybody's finally into Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, so there's a lot to talk about there. Mainly, there's quite the controversy about Chadley.
Outlast Trials is cool, South Park Snowday is not, and there's a ton of other stuff in between. Like pulsating ninjas.
Dune 2 popcorn bucket - we're talking about it. Also video games like Unicorn Overlord and yes, still Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
Madame Web is worth seeing for under $5, but make no mistake: it's baaaaad. We also talk about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth now that the public can play it.
An embargo lifted, so we talk about how Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth fits into the broader mythos of the series. Also, Helldivers 2 is still a great time AND breaking servers.
The magical Xbox reveal revealed precisely nothing we haven't been saying on this podcast for YEARS, and James mysteriously teases the content of our next episode. Meanwhile, Rhett couldn't find Colt 45 (the beverage) at the store and that's wildly unacceptable.
It's mostly tangents, as usual, but also mostly impressions of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Is the title a misnomer? Probably not. James also gets into the ... pitfalls? of VR based ... entertainment.
HA! We win, Google SEO. Chinese food near me is ACTUALLY a podcast episode about video games like Death Stranding 2, Foamstars, Judas, and more. Subscribe now on Spotify: http://link.pressx.space/spotify & Apple: http://link.pressx.space/apple
Lucky season 7 of the cast kicks off with a look forward. What does 2024 hold? Probably fewer amazing banger games than in '23, honestly, but there are definitely signs of life. We talk about it all!
What's to know? We argue about the best games of the year and come up with a DEFINITIVE top ten list. What wins? Does Gollum top the list? Maybe.
The Game Awards garnered serious heat this year, for hardly any of the right reasons. We talk about the highs and lows, but also a bunch of great games: Baldur's Gate 3, Alan Wake 2, Super Mario Wonder, and more!
Spider-Man 2! We talk about it. It's great. AC Mirage? Not so much. Elsewhere, Forza Motorsport is right around a seven on our patented 3 point scale.
We talk about some things that are happening like Starfield maybe not being QUITE as expansive as we thought, Cyberpunk 2077 finally getting to the state it should have launched in, Baten Kaitos for some reason, and October. 2023 has been ridiculous, and October isn't slowing down. Pray for us and our eyeballs.
It's all stars this time out, with extensive discussion of Starfield and Sea of Stars. Starfield is mid AF but still addictive and fun for RPG fans, while Sea of Stars is a brilliant example of making what's old new again.
Rhett continues to berate James until he gets Baldur's Gate 3 on PC. Meanwhile, James played Immortals of Aveum (it rips) and The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood (also rips), and Paul 'played' Fort Solis (it does not rip).
James fondly reminisces about classy purple bags that can hold golf balls, cash, and occasionally adult beverages. Rhett likes Baldur's Gate a whole bunch. Paul and James can't talk about their games, but think FF XVI is swell and Starfield damn well better be.
