Defining Duke, Episode 34: Halo Infinite Gets a Release Date & Xbox’s Questionable Gamescom Ft. Jez Corden
Added 2021-08-26 16:00:10 +0000 UTCIt's another juicy episode and there's no one better to have alongside us to break everything down than Jez Corden of Windows Central Gaming. After a week of announcements across QuakeCon and Gamescom, we gather to break it all down. From Halo Infinite's long anticipated release date all the way to updates on titles such as Forza Horizon 5, Age Of Empires IV, The Gunk, and major new Game Pass editions. Bethesda also had a loud week as they are planning to sell us Skyrim again along with a host of new content on top of Fallout Worlds showing up in September. Beyond that, they dipped further into the nostalgia bag with Quake Remastered!

2021-09-03 16:05:58 +0000 UTCFan of the show. Whenever y'all talk/chatter over each other it sounds like a mess, and you guys do it more than any other podcast I've listened to since I started listening to podcasts.

2021-08-27 10:51:13 +0000 UTCThe intro music to defining Duke is waaaaay better than SS so much better. Especially on headphones. But nothing will beat the knockback long version, it's like a lost level of Mega Man.

2021-08-27 06:10:18 +0000 UTCYo, Jez Corden was depressingly hilarious. 😂 "Halo was the first Lego game" and look at Bungie now. In all seriousness I thought he was a great guest we need more forward speaking people, no pussy footing.

2021-08-27 02:11:52 +0000 UTCCan I be honest about my thoughts on your podcast? Remove me, whatever you want, but I’m going to predict a downfall in listeners because of these reasons: 1). COG. I’m sorry, he a a lovely guy, has some good opinions, but it’s slightly frustrating to hear the constant ‘uh um’ and agreements. It’s a bit cheesy. Constant interruptions with ‘umm, yes’ etc. Then generally tone and voice just not right for this podcast. Just too…. American. 2) the intro music is far too long. Look, no one dares to say these things because you ban them, but all feedback is good feedback. Banning people because they disagree with your approach is not right. I’m just giving you feedback. Colin is a 10/10, but here’s why I think numbers will or have dropped.
