Sacred Symbols+, Episode 252 | Colin Is Listening
Added 2022-12-20 17:00:03 +0000 UTCIt's time for another call-in episode of Sacred Symbols+, conducted (as always) via the Last Stand Discord. We went to six individual callers today, all with their own topic, which we of course didn't know beforehand. One person wanted to discuss the seeming fall of turn-based gaming, while another was curious if Jak & Daxter will ever have a future. One listener inquired about Last Stand's future, while another was inquisitive about content creation generally. Plus: Is Factions going to be free-to-play? Will PlayStation 6 finally eschew a disc drive? Naturally, we've much to discuss.

Playing it as we speak. =)

2022-12-26 19:28:17 +0000 UTCI totally understanding trading your games in. It's just that -- very obviously -- this is a small minority of people.

2022-12-26 19:28:12 +0000 UTCGood correction, though I don't remember the context.
Colin Moriarty
2022-12-26 19:27:51 +0000 UTCJust an editing problem.

2022-12-26 19:27:43 +0000 UTCRe: turn-based games. I'm sure you've heard this already a bunch of times but look into Chained Echoes. It's been years since I've played a turn-based rpg but this one has seriously grabbed me!

2022-12-26 14:38:24 +0000 UTCThe second caller, you should maybe use dalle 2 to generate thumbnails, I know people are doing that. Good luck!

2022-12-26 05:27:42 +0000 UTCThat was my thought! I was like “holy shit, they’re gonna fight!”

2022-12-24 17:33:33 +0000 UTCI laughed so hard when I heard it. The timing made it so funny to me. It was near the end of Colin’s rant about pricing of games in the industry. There seemed to be some slight disagreement between Colin and Dustin on the topic so it sounded like Dustin got tired of hearing Colin’s rant and just decided “fuck this I’m going to the next caller” lol. Had to rewind and listen to it again to confirm it was an audio mistake.

2022-12-23 06:25:46 +0000 UTCGotta disagree with Colin on the physical games topic. I'm now older and in my older 30s and make a decent living, and for the most part, I can purchase new games at my leisure. And I now also almost exclusively buy games digitally. But when I was younger and had less money to go around- I absolutely would be at Gamestop trading in games I didn't want anymore for newer and older games I hadn't played yet. Without that extra discount I wouldn't have been able to play nearly as many games as I have. Some of my favorite games are games I obtained through trade-in credit. I don't think it's right to metaphorically knock down the ladder behind me. Resale and barter of property and goods is a very healthy market dynamic that absolutely should be used when it offers advantage. Video games may be the only multimedia product that is actively traded for monetary value- but that's because they are inherently more valuable in the first place. Long live Ebay!

2022-12-23 06:24:46 +0000 UTCHate to be "that guy" but 505Games is an Italian company, not American. Also Sacred Sales Saga and Sacred League are great

2022-12-22 14:00:02 +0000 UTCI just got that. Thought I was losing my mind.
Aaron
2022-12-22 13:18:50 +0000 UTCWas there some crazy audio glitch where Dustin started talking to a caller over Colin?

2022-12-21 18:27:55 +0000 UTCLOL. Just a bad edit.
Colin Moriarty
2022-12-21 18:27:49 +0000 UTCMy condolences to the Austin who lost his game collection about ten years ago. I feel for him since the same thing happened to me 12 years ago.

2022-12-21 14:04:48 +0000 UTCI thought Dustin was just bulldozing over Colin at 55:35 for a second 😂😂😂😂

2022-12-21 10:10:30 +0000 UTCSolo is good, you can meet likeminded folks. =)
Colin Moriarty
2022-12-21 01:30:06 +0000 UTCIt makes a lot of sense, when you think about it.
Colin Moriarty
2022-12-21 01:29:53 +0000 UTCThank you!
Colin Moriarty
2022-12-21 01:29:46 +0000 UTCThat level of disorganization would drive me insane.
Colin Moriarty
2022-12-21 01:29:40 +0000 UTCIt's doubly impressive that Nintendo sells so many copies of their games considering how well they retain their value. Money printer.
Colin Moriarty
2022-12-21 01:29:29 +0000 UTCThanks, we will!
Colin Moriarty
2022-12-21 01:29:04 +0000 UTCOptions are good, for sure. I've always been surprised by how quickly books go on sale.
Colin Moriarty
2022-12-21 01:28:49 +0000 UTCThank you.
Colin Moriarty
2022-12-21 01:28:31 +0000 UTCHaha, Colin, you crack me up. That first caller. I’ll see you in the U.K. when you get over here. I’ll be solo. None of my friends are remotely interested in this stuff (none of them are nerds). Matt.
Matt Wiles
2022-12-21 01:27:48 +0000 UTCThe fact that Colin would call into AM radio political shows as a child is just so funny to me

2022-12-20 22:44:54 +0000 UTCJust wanted to amplify the first callers comments about the Show. Completely agree with him. LSM has been a joy at work, driving, doing dishes, or in the shower. Thank you guys 💪

2022-12-20 20:42:16 +0000 UTCI buy both physical & digital I don't care either way. For example this month I purchased the last of us part 1 for $50 +tax (digital) then I run to the store to buy pokemon (physical) $60 +tax. I am also guilty of buying fortnite skins for my son so 😅
Jesse spivey
2022-12-20 20:35:02 +0000 UTCColin & Dustin, I loved the conversation you guys had about game prices following my call-in. It's certainly interesting! I'm a big fan of the "Stinky Switch," and actually have purchased many games at $60 years after launch. I think Nintendo gets away with it because their whole first-party lineup retains MSRP. I'd be curious to see what would happen if Sony suddenly decided to hold all of its titles at $70 MSRP for extended periods.

2022-12-20 18:47:46 +0000 UTCI had to pay the full god damn price last week for It takes two; almost 2 years after it released. This sucks ass and why I can’t stand the “ no more physical games” thing. But that’s the beauty of having options. Don’t take away options and everyone is happy imo. Also- books, BLUrays, etc. all go on sale after time passes. Games have to as well no?
