Sacred Symbols+, Episode 334 | Sacred x Duke: The Great Xbox Leaks Summit

As we gather once more for an episode of Sacred Symbols x Defining Duke here on Sacred+, we do so with a brief agenda. Top on the list is going over our respective thoughts on the recent FTC-related Xbox leaks, which is something our audience has asked us to do as a single unit. We like to give you what you want, so that's up-top. But deeper in the show, you'll find an array of topics to complement our up-front story. Where have all the PlayStation exclusives gone? And does it even matter, anyway? Will Sony find success in the games-as-a-service space? What's our gaming roadmap for the rest of the year? All of that -- and more! -- on the other side of play.

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 334 | Sacred x Duke: The Great Xbox Leaks Summit

Doom is not a very good game

Robbie Cooper

Wow, there' so much great content, I can't keep up! It feels like my games backlog ;)

Gareth Handa

Cog thinks Hellblade 2 is gonna be as big or bigger than Starfield? Lol WHAT!??

Grant MacNamara

“Crossover!” 😄 Matty nailed how I feel about Starfield after almost doing everything in it. Although, I disagree with the Terrormorph mission being horror-esque. Nothing is scary in Starfield when you’re just OP.

What was the big laugh about at the end of the AIDS joking? I didn't hear what was mumbled.

Question on the Xbox series S being majority of Xbox console sale - I've had 2 experiences with this, and most recent was the release of baldurs gate 3 when I was round at my cousin's house (he has a Xbox series S) whilst discussing the drama surrounding it being delayed on Xbox, he was completely unaware that the Xbox series S is a less powerful console and looked pretty annoyed. Do you think that parents or less tech savvy people are buying the Xbox series S and believing it's the series X equivalent without the disc drive like the ps5? I know my experience is totally anecdotal but i bet the number is definitely not 0 and potentially high? Thoughts? Love the cross overs Regards AJ

You guys didn’t need to bleep out the AC3 spoiler at the end, it’s an 11 year old bad game.

Tbf, it seems Colin typically brings up the topic when new things come to light, in this case the leak and the chart that was brought up online. It's a huge part of the video game news cycle right now and I actually find it all quite interesting. And relax about the hostage situation lmao. These guys are getting paid to talk about videogames.

Mitch Orobko

Big fan of the Brady Bunch-styled goodbye at the end

When are we getting a Punching Up cross-over?

MetroidIsBetterIn2D

How could u possibly know how well Halo is doing? Steam charts? How about Xbox and the windows store that has no charts?.. if you have an agenda than just say that it’s less words but makes the same point

Waka vodka

Crossover episodes are some of my favorite, thanks to all of the crew for their time

Joshua Brungardt

No reason for PlayStation to talk about games until ready so they can just take time

Issac Woosley

Also Colin, you’re waaaaaaaaay too caught up on this dude. Who cares man, we don’t need to be so paranoid about this. It’s starting to feel like you intentionally ruin things you may enjoy for yourself just to cope with them not being on your platform of choice. In my mind I couldn’t care less if the industry follows suit with Xbox, but this isn’t my entire life as I understand it is yours with LSM and your hobbies. Not everything needs to be JUST LIKE PlayStation. That’s what makes them unique. Let Xbox, Xbox and let PlayStation be PlayStation. BuT wHaT iF tHeY aDopt XbOx tEnDenCies?!? If we’re so worried about this than isn’t PlayStation a lot weaker than you lead them on to be? It sure seems that way if they’re folding to the losers constantly. I love the shows and everything you guys do but SHEESH…. Matty and Chris spoke pure facts in this tho.

What’s Chris’s metric for Halo doing well now? ~3000 people on infinite during peak hours doesn’t seem “well” or “resurgent”. (The game still has all the same gameplay issues as launch day) RESURGENT

I really think Colin needs his own dedicated show that allows him to ramble on about MS/Xbox doom and gloom. It's creeping Into EVERY SS / SS+ episode CONSISTENTLY. I'm 55 minutes into this episode (which i realize this is about) but it's just Colin going on and on about his game pass concerns again. Why are Chris and Dustin even on this episode? It feels like a hostage situation with Cog and Matty and neither of them seem interested in engaging in the conversation. It really feels more like a "I want people to challenge my opinions" with 5 people in the lobby more than a SS x DD.

Eric Golley

“Why not just buy Starfield and unsubscribe from Game Pass?” Colin, you say this (or something similar) pretty often and I think you maybe don’t realize that many people (maybe even most people) don’t subscribe for one game. I don’t subscribe to Game Pass just to play one game. I don’t subscribe to Netflix for just one show. I’m not constantly subbing and unsubbing from catalogs solely based on what’s new. I subscribe to services that I get consistent use out of. I cancel a subscription if I’m not not using the service. It’s pretty simple. I use Game Pass almost every day. Even if I bought Starfield, I wouldn’t have a good reason to unsubscribe from Game Pass

Zeke the Plumber

Love these crossovers. It's good to exchange ideas and opinions. I recently learned of the FTC Microsoft leak. I was disgusted of the emails regarding Nintendo and valve

Ding Dong

I'm into space and feel that's why I didn't like it

Issac Woosley

No. Halo is more satisfying on a moment-to-moment gameplay level, while Starfield has a lot of factors that slows down the momentum of the player. Halo games are like Mario games: you pick up the controller and it immediately feels great to move around your character and engage with the environment. I'm saying this as someone who is currently enjoying Starfield for what it is.

MetroidIsBetterIn2D

I played Halo Infinite and loved it. I played Starfield and bounced off it. Is something wrong with me?

Michael

Anyone else having a long delay for these episodes to show up on Spotify? Not long ago, it was just a couple minutes

UTSeminole

My favorite crossover

Namistai25

I’m glad Cog is okay. And yeah I noticed that beeping during ILP was different. Love these SS X DD crossovers

Hustle&Motiv8

That thumbnail is fire. Sure the episode is too.

Michael Welter

Ohhhhh this is going to be tasty

Cormac

Yeeeeeeeah boi

Adam Razak
