Sacred Symbols+, Episode 285 | Slow Times Demand A Call-In Show
Added 2023-04-11 16:00:05 +0000 UTCAs we desperately await any word whatsoever of an upcoming PlayStation showcase -- likely aiming for this May -- we're left to pick through the carcass of a slow time in news. That's when we thought: Why not go to the audience? So we did just that, taking eight calls from our listeners on a range of topics, from how publishers actually work and the wisdom of a Metal Gear Solid 3 remake to the role 100-hour games play in our lives and why developers need to rethink downloadable content. Thank you, as always, for your thoughtful inquiries, and for taking the time to speak with us.

2023-04-14 18:08:21 +0000 UTCMan the first time I beat Cyberpunk was a moment man...what a game. I've been playing it again lately especially with the new path tracing update. (which is gorgeous)

2023-04-13 17:09:53 +0000 UTCI think you totally misunderstood my entire comment. I'm not saying I don't understand the difference. I'm asking what the problem is? What is the problem for Xbox worthy of criticism thats been a direct result of that difference?

2023-04-13 00:26:04 +0000 UTCMan, it's that time of year for 'you people' isn't it.

2023-04-13 00:25:38 +0000 UTCI don't really know how else to explain this, respectfully. If there are two entities, and one largely created, matured, and sustained its product with consistent internal performance, and the other simply buys bits and bobs to do the same thing... I think it's weird that you'd think there's no difference. If Matt Booty and Phil Spencer aren't responsible for Xbox's lack of games, then who is?

2023-04-13 00:25:29 +0000 UTCThat's why I just pay whatever they tell me and just be done with it. Like, fuck off. Scary assholes they are!

2023-04-13 00:23:36 +0000 UTCMe too.

2023-04-13 00:23:16 +0000 UTCThe call in show was great, we need more of these. As it’s sets a different tone for conversation. It gives that good ol’ radio chat show itch.

2023-04-12 02:18:39 +0000 UTCExcited to give this a full listen! I'm quite confused on the purpose of the first call-in though and would love some further explanation from someone. They talk about respecting certain gaming companies (ps, nintendo) and not others (xbox) for their development and business strategies. They also refer to Xbox strategy as a problem and frame comments as "criticisms". My question is, what is the problem? What is the problem that we're criticizing? Is it the purchasing of studios to make games for the platform? What is the problem with that strategy versus purchasing studios that you worked with from A-Z to make games for the platform? Trying to understand what exactly it is we don't respect Xbox for or dismiss them / give "Valid Critisism" (Dustin) for? Thanks!! ***would also like to point out that the caller WILDLY misconstrued the Matt Booty / Psyoddysey event and then Colin doubled down by saying the buck should stop with someone over... what?***

2023-04-12 01:39:27 +0000 UTCI hate taxes so much. I just paid the first quarter of 2023 and still dealing with the city for the year of 2021. It’s been a disaster for 195 dollars. It’s the most minuet amount of money too. I’m giving the treasury fifty times that amount every quarter. It’s so complicated and absurd.
