Got a PS5 or Series X/S for Christmas? Well no need to buy any games at retail price as we let you know the best games to play with your online sub that will have you set for months or even years. We than discuss the new Spider-Man and Matrix movies, if the Nier series is done, and our top most impactful moments in video game history!
Chase, a teacher for game development and creator of "whenslunchgames" (http://www.whenslunchgames.com/) is joining us in this episode to discuss the in and outs of the field. But first we go deep into all the 2022 game releases on all systems and even rank our anticipations on each title.
We began the show with talks of our cilantro of video games, than dive deep into the Game Awards 2021 show, I gush about Halo Infinite's amazing campaign, and we end the show by watching AAA gaming pretending to die.
We first go over all major exclusives of each system in 2021 and see which console had the best. PlayStation has a response to Game Pass with classic games being the biggest point of concern on how they are handled. Big surprises of new additions being added to older games. And finally we give our Game Awards 2021 predictions!
We start off the show trying to figure out where is the love for turkey on thanksgiving! We than go deep in on Halo Infinite and I try to wrap my brain around people reviewing a Beta, League of Legends is starting to release its broader horizons, Kojima opens up a TV/Movie business division, and Nintendo is FINALLY be kind to Melee tournaments. Our main topic is going over our TOP 5 PLAYSTATION EXCLUSIVES from PS1-PS5.
We have 2 guest from MP1st.com, Sean and James, to spend this entire bonus episode discussing the very limited yet incredibly enjoyable Elden Ring Network Test. It's basically a "spoiler cast" for what was about a 10-15 hour experience so we go deep into EVERYTHING it had to offer! The amount of new features that aren't in previous From Software titles is quite the treat and we don't hold any nerdy details back! Please enjoy!
VERY special guest today who's life's work revolves around black hole studies, Mario! If you want to skip ahead to the incredible discussion of black hole study progressions the timestamp is 1:42:14. I was completely blown away by the great knowledge and level of presenting done by Mario and man its probably the best "Main Topic" we had to date! BUT! He first joins me and Rudy on our thoughts of the first year being complete of the new generation, Forza Horizon 5 hitting 10 million players, Switch hardware sales being back on top, the new GTA Trilogy being far from the "definitive" way to play, Xbox's 20th anniversary with the surprise drop of Halo Infinite Multiplayer and 72 new BC titles with many new FPS boost as well (Oblivion at 60fps on console is an amazing site to behold), and more gushing on Marvel's Guardian of the Galaxy!
I PLAYED OVER 10 HOURS OF ELDEN RING! This week is a solo episode with just me, Tim, doing the show as Rudy is on a family vacation. I give many thoughts on my Elden Ring experience but making sure not to give any specific details outside of what was shown on the gameplay showcase. I also go into PS5's and Xbox Series X/S's first year of being released, and to how The Game Awards is coming too soon and screwing over yet another big release.
We discuss a GLORIOUS 19 minute gameplay demonstration of Elden Ring and just more on the game and genre as a whole, will a Skyrim 10 year anniversary somehow change our opinions on the game, Halo doing Battle Pass correctly, Game Pass's biggest month yet is November especially when featuring Forza Horizon 5's 10/10, and more Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy love!
In this week's episode my mind is blown on being able to enjoy new games on old tech that shouldn't be able to run it due to new AI development, we dive into a shallow State of Play yet PlayStation hits yet another big milestone in sales, the complete disaster of Nintendo 64 emulation on Nintendo Switch Online's service, and main topic being our top 5 video game character!
In this very meaty episode we go into very credible Bloodborne port/remake/sequel rumors, Uncharted movie trailer thoughts, God of War coming to PC and thus bringing more credibility that Sony is genuinely serious about porting their games to PC (with Xbox and Sony now onboard is PC is the ultimate place to play now), with very little left of the year we start to break down the GOTY discussion, Elden Ring delayed, upcoming PlayStation State of Play, Assassins Creed Valhalla's Discovery Tour, and last but not least a look at Halo Infinite's PC Port Overview!
We discuss games that shook our core and forced a break from the medium, favorite video games that aren't a part of a series, the huge personal and commercial success of Metroid Dread, Nintendo Switch Online expansion pass not looking too hot, twitch getting hacked, and more Halo Infinite hype surrounding the recent competitive information.
A very special episode discussing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's final character reveal and what could possibly be the end of the "Sakurai Era" for the series.
We go over the history of Super Smash Bros, it's importance both in the industry and in our lives, the legendary Sakurai himself, and where we see the future of the series heading.
