Sacred Symbols, Episode 247 | Do You Remember Swinging Around in September? (Video)

Just because twitter.com still works doesn't mean that the people that got laid off weren't critical for the operation. That's an extremely narrow perspective.

Bring back socom!!!

Similar to the "no pause" during cutscenes ridiculousness is "no skip" to songs in games. The new need for speed came out and there was no way to skip songs which drove me crazy. It got patched 4 or 5 months later I believe.

No ps 5 version of starfield and redfall cool then something was up and the delays were due to Xbox knowing that these games have so much more pressure because if the games bomb what else do they have. I feel Arkane is stuck.

re: immersive gaming and distractions, for years my phone has been set to all social notifications off. full stop. the only notifications i get on my phone are for texts, phone calls, and email. email is set to only show me the badge notifications. banners are disabled. and much like colin my phone is usually on so not disturb anyway, which is a bad habit i got into with ios 12 because on that os you would still get banner and badge notifications if your phone screen was on while in do not disturb, so if i opened my phone i could still see text badges on dnd. but now dnd is the same as sleep mode. 🫤

i'm *super* stoked for the horizon dlc, and i'll be in on day 1. i ran through the campaign of forbidden west in 4 days because i wanted to be completely done with it for elden ring, so i'm wanting to actually take my time with this and savor it and enjoy it. i think horizon is the best ip sony has at the moment, so i'm very excited.

Keith Huntington

You're correct. Deviation Games (ex-Treyarch devs) and Firewalk (ex-Bungie and Guerrilla Games) announced partnerships with Sony. Both studios are working on shooters.

Colin, I've only played a few JRPGs. I started Chained Echoes but didn't absolutely love it (story seemed cool though). Do you think I would like Octopath more? Which one do you prefer? I was pissed I let the first one slip off gamepass before I could play it

Gooch Gobbler

As far as a Sony shooter, anyone remember all those new studios formed about a year or two ago that mentioned they were working with Sony? many didn't have much to show outside of to say "we are making a shooter". Think it's about time we saw a trailer or two for some of them at the next big playstation show. I think there were at least 2 or 3 devs/games announced. I'm excited to see what they've got

Mandalorian episode 3 a few weeks back had an actress named Katy O’Brian. Look her up…especially her IG. there’s your Abby.

Colin: who would they cast as Abby? Me: Begins to google female bodybuilders

God, what the hell is this thumbnail?!

It felt so good to hear Dustin validate my feelings about the Hitman episodic releases. I was actually disappointed when they announced that all the Locations for Hitman 2 would be released all at the same time. The episodic releases allowed me to really savor and master each location.

This thumbnail is disturbing af.

Echos93

Socom was big before cod came..Sony could bring it back they just don't wanna invest.

Lucas180

I was so confused on what that disturbing thing in the bottom right of the thumbnail was lmao

Dylan Michael

I think if Xbox does get call of duty, it’ll be dead in 10 years. No one I know will switch to Xbox just to play CoD.

Michael

I think we'd all agree that MGSV: Ground Zeroes isn't AAA, due to quality and legnth

Cash

The AAA discussion is interesting. I still think it boils down to how you define "AAA". Does AAA status rely on budget and cost of marketing? In that case it's hard to definitively say which games are and aren't as we very rarely get the numbers spent. It's often estimations. Does AAA statue require a minimum run time? Would a 4 hour slice of God of War Ragnarok still be considered AAA? Does AAA mean that we have full production values, voice acting, top tier animations etc. That would certainly rule out Zelda and a lot of Nintendo games in general. Is AAA just a game released by a Major Publisher at 60/70 bucks? I don't know the answers to any of this but I think a lot of clashing comes from people having a different idea of what exactly AAA is. Interesting to ponder though. Great episode 👏

OTTAPPS

"Horizon dlc comes out on March 19th, the day before 420 bros" Clearly too much 420 for you Colin 😂😂

Greg Dawson

This thumbnail jesus christ.

Michael Welter

Ok that thumbnail scared me 🤣 whoever did that get help

shouty33

If Sony hadnt said they couldnt develop a COD competitor months ago (while their making zero efforts to), then Microsoft wouldnt have said 10 years is long enough to do it. I feel like this show is taking what Microsoft is saying too seriously considering both sides are just saying whatever will benefit them, and we all know it.

Joe B

When is the live show popping up on patreon, Dustin said it would but not seeing anything

Zack Fair

I don't really know about Destiny, but I feels like Lance Reddick is way harder to replace in Horizon. The character was his face, his voice. He was integral to the whole thing, the plot and everything. And Sylens was almost written out by the end of Horizon Forbidden West, so I guess they could say he had a change of mind, but still it sucks.

RD_21

I’m super happy to hear Colin enjoying Octopath 2. I finished all 8 stories on Wednesday at the 72 hour mark. Ochette was my favorite character. It’s my GOTY so far. What an incredible game. Combat, characters, stories and the fucking music is just beautiful.

Michael Mashpotato

Wtf is that thumbnail?

Just throwing this out there, a Knockback episode of SpongeBob Season 1-3 would be hot.

Tyran Batten

Wait who is this dude on the right side of the thumbnail?

Josh Tarpley

"They shouldn't have destroyed Hitler's bunker" "I feel like emotions were a little high" Holy FUUUUUUUUCK that is the hardest I've laughed in quite a while.

Guns vs Kittens

Nothing irrational about love for Aldi. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
