Defining Duke, Episode 20: Let The Era Of Bethesda Exclusives Begin
Added 2021-05-20 16:00:09 +0000 UTCThis week in news that's kind of, sort of not news, we talk a ton of Starfield! Just as Head Of Xbox Phil Spencer had said, it will indeed be an Xbox and PC exclusive. This brings forward two major questions. First, what is occurring in the industry where widely known news is news? Second, what does this mean for IP such as Fallout, Elder Scrolls, DOOM, Dishonored, and more? We re-visit and discuss! Plus, new Day One Game Pass additions in the name of Dungeons & Dragons Dark Alliance, Knockout City, and The Wild At Heart! Has Xbox Game Pass reached a point where consumers aren't as excited by the addition of day one launches through the service? Oh, and an advice show. Yes. Really.

“I would take a dump in my front seat before I would go into the casino and take a shit.” “Maybe you have some motion and some lotion…” 😄 Karak was on fire this week. Really enjoyed the end of the podcast with you guys just shooting the shit. Would be nice to get more of that. Probably my favorite talk I’ve heard from you guys yet.

2021-05-26 06:53:29 +0000 UTCFeels pretty unnecessary to post this. It's intentionally try to demean what I'm saying and especially so when all of my reports consisted of a possible 2022. That's not a panic or convincing. It's what I said, feel free to check the content, but it was the smallest part of our Starfield discussion. Be constructive. Patronizing accomplishes nothing and blatant ignorance certainly doesn't.

2021-05-26 04:20:10 +0000 UTCMatty's been on a panic spree, trying to convince everyone he's been reporting 2022 for Starfield all along. Guess they're not a creature of habit after all. Crazy part is that it's looking like a 2023 game 😂 ACG is the only true one, respect 👊

2021-05-22 13:57:08 +0000 UTCListening to the end of the podcast, you guys brought up a really important point that I want to highlight with a comment. When someone else is feeling sad, as humans, we have a desire to cheer them up but what they need from you in that moment is silence and head nods. Don’t make your uncomfortableness with their sadness the point of the conversation. Their feelings are the point of the conversation. Not to change their feelings, but to help them know that feelings are normal and you are still sitting next to them during a time of suffering.

2021-05-21 17:58:41 +0000 UTCJust got chills thinking about ACG talking about voice commands in RPGs for console. That sounds so cool for immersion!

2021-05-21 03:43:41 +0000 UTCLove when you guys talk about stuff outside of Xbox as well. Great episode boys.

2021-05-21 02:33:17 +0000 UTC25 min in and they are still complaining about different people. I often feel lost when they describe all these horrible divisive opinionated people. I’ve been on the discord for both acg and last stand and I’ve never encountered what’s usually described in this podcasts when referring to “people” who do this and do that. I wonder if that’s just the unfortunate reality of being a YouTuber , and maybe it’s why I don’t hear it on the sacred symbols podcast. It tends to be a much more positive show. Hopefully this is seen as constructive opinion. I could be wrong. I don’t want acg to double down on me.

2021-05-20 21:51:00 +0000 UTCYou know damn Well why everyone expects Xbox to put Bethesda games everywhere, Matty. I still believe that

2021-05-20 18:20:48 +0000 UTCHey MrMatty and ACG, Thanks for reading my question and giving some expert advice. My son and I have already had a conversation about putting a cease and desist on the weird crap. I called Maury today so hopefully my wife and I can be a part of one of those paternity test episodes soon...
