Sacred Symbols, Episode 221 | Appeasement (Video)

Comments

past three gens I had a rather neutral stance on them, a competing company, kind of a normal thing, but since they decided on "microsofting" the passion I hold very close to my heart...yeah, I get mad

Germanos

you sure don't like Xbox

Wyvborn

obviously not important but might as well mention for cleanup purposes no? I'm not just nicpicking grammar here lool

easelgames

But there's so much to discuss.

Germanos

Ah well.

Colin Moriarty

Indeed.

Colin Moriarty

Glad to be available on Steamdeck.

Colin Moriarty

We'll see what they end up doing!

Colin Moriarty

One comment. =)

Colin Moriarty

We'll do another call-in soon.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you. Welcome.

Colin Moriarty

Avoiding paying them is the better idea. Buying used, etc.

Colin Moriarty

LOL.

Minor, Last Timestamp is busted

Props to Dustin making pen & paper notes for his Suikoden playthrough. I find it way more satisfying than digital notes. If you haven't tried it, a cheap notepad and pen are wonderful companions to playing a complex game

Where I live, there's still a number of physical media stores that aren't big box stores. Books, DVD/Blurays, Games, Music, all still available physically here. I'm pretty patient and don't have to play games on release to be happy, so if there's no physical, I'll just buy during deep sales. Sony will probably go from making $50-70 from me per game to $0-20 per game, and I might even just shift to Steamdeck and Switch entirely. I already buy Lillymo games on Steamdeck instead.

Oh, and since I was accused of not liking the show due to complains (my view justified), I really enjoyed the episode and the discussion here. It was great to listen to. Thank you. Hope Chris is fine. He can always move to Poland, we have great internet XD

About no Square releases for Xbox: "Nobody" has bought # SoulHackers2 on Xbox. No NPD record for the game. #CrisisCore is ranked 300+ in the ranking of Xbox products on Amazon (PS5 at 27). #OctopathTraveler goes to GP and does not appear in the TOP 50 MOST PLAYED even once (for now)! Same with new release for #NiNoKuni (for now), which was hyped by Phil Spencer. And #dioFieldChronicle same thing - no appearance on NPD for Xbox. Makes you think when Phil says: "Our gamers want and love Japanese games." XD

Regarding Xbox players not buying games: Hogwart's Legacy is no. 6 on the Amazon top buy list. While they don't even make it to the top 50 on Series X/S. I think this is telling. It's one of the most anticipated games.

Germanos

Thank you for speaking about the moves that happened recently from game-journalism to game-development. Not only Jonathan D. from IGN, but also Andrew Reiner. I spoke about as it happened on Twitter and was overflown with comments "not agreeing" with my take, that it is WEIRD.

re: chasis d news... sept 2022, on the playstation and switch side, outside of very rare specific occurrences, i exclusively play single player games on disc. so much so to the point of if the game isn't on disc, the developer/publisher simply lost me as a customer. on xbox it's different. i have gamepass and use that quite extensively, but i still buy the first party titles on disc though when available. all that being said, the idea of a detachable disc drive may sway me to buy a new ps5 and like 3 or 4 disc drive units just to have on reserve 😊😊

Keith Huntington

I play everything on discs, on my PS5. Even indies Stray, Sifu, Death's Door pre-ordered. And I have a good internet connection, excellent. It's about the ownership, at least for me :) Also the comparison to movies, renting VHS/DVS, buying music albums, and video games, does not work. Apple and oranges. Too long to write, maybe next call-in :P

Germanos

This was the pod that got me to subscribe. Clarity of values. Great work, guys.

There isn’t a finer exception to the rule than pirating games coming from the world’s most inhumane parties, a la Tencent and SNK. Fuck ‘em - pirate everything they put out.

MikeLee

lmao at Colin doing the Goofy impression and Dustin thinking he's calling him an idiot 😂
