Sacred Symbols+, Episode 99: Sacred Symbols x Defining Duke x E3 (Video)

Okay.

Colin Moriarty

There's no reason it can't be done. Add loading screens, there's no ray tracing in the game on PS5 anyway, lock it to 1080p30.

Your comment was well thought out and well written. i agree with pretty much everything you said. i think DD has the opportunity to increase in value proposition with ACG gone. I say that with the utmost respect to ACG, nothing against him personally, but i believe his podcast persona was very abrasive as you said, and he didn't bring much positivity to the show imo. Matty is a very gracious host and one who i feel can play off any number of personas. I know DD will go from strength to strength

Honestly the very idea of a Demon's Souls Remake Demake on PS4 sounds ridiculously silly

Mark ?️

I don't think they're anywhere close to that.

Colin Moriarty

Ryan's a taken man.

Colin Moriarty

Ryan would be a great replacement

Kevin Metzger

When does Xbox swallowing up studios become too many and is they competition laws to stop one company having the majority of studios on their platform alone? Keep up the great work guys!

Zack Fair

I did say that, yes.

Colin Moriarty

Dustin is a golden nugget, alright.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you!

Colin Moriarty

We'll miss Karak, but we're excited to bring on new blood, and are eager to share with you who's next. =)

Colin Moriarty

Time crunch. No hard feelings whatsoever.

Colin Moriarty

Did I mishear? Did Colin say he liked 2016 Ratchet more than Rift Apart? Fascinating and perplexing if true.

Matthew Kohlman

Dustin is a golden nugget. You rarely find people like him in business. I run my own with 30 employees and can tell he’s 1) a lovely guy, nice, kind, 2) offers so much intelligent insight, 3) dares to go against the grain. Dares to challenge, even his boss. That’s a rarity but he’s so nice that people will take advantage of him. Don’t. He’s your best guy. Really, he’s your number one and has changed the game completely for Sacred Symbols. Remember all that surprise at how your subscriber numbers have shot up? It’s no coincidence that’s happened since Dustin has played a bigger part.

Matt Wiles

This was awesome!

Chance McDaniel

Spot on, he ultimately decreased the show's value because he constantly came off as half-assed on virtually everything.

Jordan Falduto

I usually don't give feedback unless it's positive. But I kind of realize now, what's the point in not giving your honest opinion? Is that even really "feedback"? That said, honestly, I think Karak leaving will be a very good thing for DD. This isn't a personal attack on Jeremy. It's just a commentary specifically (and only) on his podcasting style. I love Matty, but as a listener, I personally always felt talked down to by Jeremy. Almost like he felt as though the audience were all dumb, immature "console warriors" who all leave angry, inflammatory youtube comments and don't know enough about "the business" to be talked to on his level, when really, those people are only a very small portion of us. I leave open the possibility that it's just me, but I certainly don't have a penchant for feeling this way about hosts as I listen to a dozen other weekly podcasts and don't feel that way about anyone else. It also honestly struck me as bothersome that he very clearly never, ever did any show prep-- not taking the time to watch trailers that were going to be discussed on the show, or have a pick ready for "game pass pick of the week". Maybe I'm out of line for being bothered by that, but I am paying for this content after all, so I think a well-prepared host to present it isn't too much to ask. I'm not saying he's lazy or anything. I have no doubt it was simply a matter of truly just being too busy. Anyway, I'll be glad to see Matty get a new co-host, and also glad that Jeremy will continue being successful doing his reviews and videos as ACG (which I have been a fan of for years, and will remain so).

Dave Carsley

Ahhh, gotcha. Thanks brosephus.

Ben

He's too busy with moving and having other obligations. He tweeted about it

Tyler Cumerford

Wow that’s a bummer, is there any explanation given why ACG is no longer on Defining Duke? He seemed kinda distracted during their E3 recap... Is there any official statement? I hope it’s on good terms 😕 (but I’d love to know if it wasn’t 😅)

Ben

Indeed.

Colin Moriarty

Yes.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you!

Colin Moriarty

We bring them up on the show all the time.

Colin Moriarty

Sorry.

Colin Moriarty

Any PS owner complaining about exclusivity from Bethesda...we win some and lose some...we've been eating good for years..gotta pass the plate sometimes.

Halph Pint

The Merger

Erk-Prime

Apparently he is leaving, moving into a new studio, kinda explain why he wasn't on now.

RD_21

Apparently he is leaving, make sense now...

RD_21

I thought this was a great show that delved into Xbox's current situation, great work guys

OCEL0T

I was surprised that the Max Payne games weren't mentioned in regards to Remedy. I always thought that was a good exclusive for the original X-Box.

Sony owns the movie rights to Spiderman.

Monta

The conversation got boring

Raul Hernandez

okay this has been irking me because I've heard this both on SS and DD. Both shows use Spiderman as an example of an IP that's its unbelievable that its exclusive to Playstation, but Sony owns the Spiderman IP, back in the day before Disney, Marvel was facing bankruptcy and was selling off their IP in perpetuity. Sony got Spiderman and Fox got Xmen, Fantastic 4 etc. Disney bought up all of Fox's properties except for the news channels and Sony refused to sell Spiderman to Disney. Sorry for the ramble but that's why Spiderman is exclusive, Sony owns it not Disney **edited to fix a typo**

Ricardo Lopez

Maybe Colin could be a guest on DD? Seems like an easy way to do it.

Colin, please do an episode with just you and Karak. So weird that yall haven't been together yet.

Tyler Cumerford

Same! gotta get ACG on next time

Jesse spivey

No Karak? The bearded bastard... I was hoping that disgustingly gorgeous human being would’ve been here 😞. And Colin doesn’t look like my Iraqi cousin anymore, so we’re fresh outta beards on this show.

Ben

No ACG? Bummer.

Walrus4300

Was hoping you would finally be crossing path with ACG.
