Just thought I’d comment on Gene saying, “imagine starting the series with mgs4” well that’s me! I got the ps3 80 gig bundle with mgs4, never heard of the series then as I was about 12 years old at that time. Decided to play the game since I had nothing else to play and was absolutely completely and understandably lost the entire game but I enjoyed every minute of it and knew it was something special. I eventually went back and played the rest of them and I was still lost. Wasn’t until my adulthood where I was finally able to understand for the most part what was actually happening in these games but I love them to death. I even made mgs4 my 100th platinum to solidify my love for the series as I can never really play that game again after having to go through that experience.

2024-10-04 23:45:43 +0000 UTCGive Ice Climbers to Derek Yu (creator of Spelunky).!!! Keep it digital, keep it indie, and keep the budget low. A nice addition to Nintendo’s Online Service, when the next console releases? 🤔

2024-10-04 22:18:15 +0000 UTCTo the listener question, about a franchise that should return (they mentioned Condemned and The Darkness), my mind went to another older title, The Suffering. It also had a sequel (Ties that Bind, I believe, forgive me if I am wrong… been a loooong time since). Also, shout out to Second Sight. Would have loved a 2nd one of that. The original was flawed, in some areas, but completely worthy of an evolution of it’s formula, as a sequel. 😢

2024-10-04 22:04:55 +0000 UTCThis goes out to Bradley Ellis. I hope you know that the teasing of your grammatical error is lighthearted and in jest. I really hope you aren’t bothered by it. If anybody is being mean about it, F ‘em. But by what I have seen, it has been light ribbing. We all have words that we speak that leave us doubting ourselves, when it comes time to put it to paper. Keep being an awesome addition to the crew, sir. 🫡

2024-10-04 21:48:59 +0000 UTCThank god I played MGS V before this episode. Else I would be furious with the MASSIVE, brutal spoiler Gene just casually dropped. Damn. At least just edit the episodes and record a short "Spoiler incoming!" sound effect.

2024-10-04 12:19:39 +0000 UTCJust wanted to correct Gene a smidge. He said all PS4 games were playable on PS5… most are, absolutely! But, and maybe I am missing something, I cannot play Velocity 2x on PS5. Sony did good with back comp. (Outside PS3), so no slander here, just wish this gem was PS5 comp.

2024-10-01 22:35:42 +0000 UTCI agree with Brad, regarding current 3D Zelda titles… I miss the companion. An impossible task for Nintendo to take, giving your compadre a variety of verbal reactions, related to your gameplay choices, within the rediculous scope of possibilities. 😆 but I still want it!

2024-10-01 22:23:52 +0000 UTCSounds like it would be nice to have ‘Echo Presets’ that you can label, giving you a folder flip kinda navigation. Have a dungeon, battle, and defense preset, for example. Haven’t dived into LoZ: Echoes of Wisdom yet (have it downloaded and ready for my upcoming week vacation). Both Brad and Gene are giving me some spoiler free takes that leave me excited to take the journey (performance withstanding).

2024-10-01 22:05:38 +0000 UTCI understand Nintendo leaving out a Quality/Performance option, that other console’s offer, may be considered a negative, but I welcome the absence. Obviously, Echoes of Wisdom (and Link’s Awakening, before it) needs a bump. But, for the most part, Nintendo does a great job of offering games that play well Day 1. I fear the moment Nintendo adopts other console trends, such as ship day 1 with stockholders in mind and patch later. I appreciate Nintendo’s commitment to polish, at launch, even if they don’t knock it out of the park every time.

2024-10-01 21:56:54 +0000 UTCI am definitely one of those people that spends AT LEAST an hour digging through a character creator. I know some people skip it, and that’s cool. Different strokes… A lesson you only need to learn once is spending time in a character creator, only for your character’s face to be permanently covered by a helmet. Thank you Amalur, for being my 1st encounter with a ‘toggle helmet’ option (though, admittedly, its character creator options left a LOT to be desired).
