Sacred Symbols, Episode 132: Divining the Details
Added 2021-01-08 17:00:05 +0000 UTCFor some peculiar reason, Sony simply refuses to officially announce how many PlayStation 5 consoles have been sold, which leaves us only one choice: We've gotta speculate. Really, we can actually do a little bit better than that -- reliable inside sources note PS5 is a meteoric success -- but we're left to wonder why Sony won't say anything itself. Say something, why don't you?! Plus: Cyberpunk 2077 draws its first class-action lawsuit, People Can Fly's Outriders has been delayed, Tenchu may be coming back, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Should Colin be excited about Final Fantasy XVI when he didn't care for XV? Is SEGA about to experience a Capcom-like resurgence? Which 2021 PlayStation exclusive will score highest on Metacritic? If you could flip a coin and either win $50 million or die, would you do it?

2021-01-19 22:06:02 +0000 UTCI'm surprised more people haven't complained about the PS App on mobile. I haven't experienced the PS5 store, but the app has gone from useful to useless for basic functions as well as use of the store.

2021-01-14 02:03:04 +0000 UTCI am more relaxed. Last time I was on video, I was fucking miserable. =D

2021-01-13 20:46:36 +0000 UTCTread carefully, that's all.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-13 20:46:26 +0000 UTCI want them to do their show, and we're gonna do our show. I don't want them to be the same thing, with the same format and whatever.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-13 20:46:17 +0000 UTCIt's been a while since I've seen Colin's face and I have to say you look different but not in a bad way you just look a bit more relaxed

2021-01-12 21:35:26 +0000 UTCI'm horrified that my typo is now forever locked away in an internet time capsule. Thank you for not banning me 🙏

2021-01-11 23:14:03 +0000 UTCHey Colin, im a PlayStation gamer but I've listened to defining Duke, any chance we can get a PlayStation game pick from yourselves to play like your xbox podcast has
Zack Fair
2021-01-11 12:45:02 +0000 UTCOk, my bad. Just thought I remembered you talking about playing it before
Cole Minder
2021-01-11 00:52:58 +0000 UTCMaybe I'll get back to it? I dunno.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-11 00:31:24 +0000 UTCI'll read more!
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-11 00:31:17 +0000 UTCI highly doubt it's "rad" =D
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-11 00:31:11 +0000 UTCNo problem. =)
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-11 00:31:05 +0000 UTCI'm not a rusher of games, so no worries there.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-11 00:30:58 +0000 UTCYeah, I did say that. No? I didn't play it.

Colin Moriarty
2021-01-11 00:30:25 +0000 UTCI'm glad you're enjoying it!
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-11 00:30:08 +0000 UTCI'm listening to P4G's soundtrack on Spotify as we speak. =)
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-11 00:30:02 +0000 UTCWrite into the show. =)
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-11 00:29:07 +0000 UTCI know! =D
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-11 00:28:59 +0000 UTCOh, I already played a bit of it when it came out. I just wanna go back to it.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-11 00:28:55 +0000 UTCNo, it was recorded on Thursday evening.

2021-01-11 00:27:57 +0000 UTCImmortals Fenyx Rising is okay. I’m about 30 hours in and am kinda hitting the point where it’s feeling more like work than play. I had the same experience about halfway through Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, which is made by the same team.

2021-01-10 22:02:54 +0000 UTCHey boys! Just a quick note about Outriders, the developers have stated the game is not a game as a service. Looks like it’s structured like borderlands
Drew Sleezer
2021-01-10 01:11:51 +0000 UTCHaha, yes! I played that game for the first time last year... I was not expecting it to be that good!

2021-01-09 18:15:05 +0000 UTCYakuza 0 is the perfect starting point, Colin. It takes place before the rest of the series. It's fucking rad too!
Miles Williams
2021-01-09 17:22:07 +0000 UTCSaw the video post and thought I'd have to leave the video open to listen, then I realised there was an audio only post as well. Thank you sincerely for doing both!

2021-01-09 13:01:11 +0000 UTCHey Colin glad to hear that you picked up FFXIV, it's by far one of the best FF stories in my opinion, up there with the greats. My advice is to try not to rush through it, take your time and enjoy it. The multiplayer aspects are not too intrusive so hopefully it won't turn you off to one of the best games of the past decade let alone mmo.

Ricardo Chavez
2021-01-08 20:25:47 +0000 UTCComing from a classic Worms fan, Worms Rumble is a blast! They even added some nice dualsense functionality to the ps5 version. Just a comment to the guy saying last months ps plus lineup was weak. Also, I’m really excited to play the new Yakuza game when the ps5 version comes out in March. It will be my first Yakuza game, but I’ve heard that it’s fine as a starting point. The new combat style they introduced just looks so cool!

2021-01-08 19:08:30 +0000 UTCAnyone able to access the persona ost’s on Spotify? I went to check it out after hearing the boys mention it being available and I’m not finding it.
Cory Mitts
2021-01-08 18:51:23 +0000 UTCThe audio is not just exported and uploaded. It’s highly edited compared to the raw video audio. According to my export info, audio meter, and ears the sound is the same volume as previous episodes.
Ben Smith
2021-01-08 18:48:25 +0000 UTCPlayStation 5 update out for Destiny 2. You playing Chris?
Robbie Agnew
2021-01-08 18:47:58 +0000 UTCTim Allen got caught smuggling coke in the 70's. He was facing a life sentence. He snitched to get a reduced sentence. It's a crazy story!

2021-01-08 18:17:14 +0000 UTCPlease don’t put yourself through ultra despair girls....I thought I was going to have a brain aneurysm from the sheer amount of painful repetition.
Zachary Parsley
2021-01-08 17:46:11 +0000 UTCNoticing this ep is much quieter than typical. Wondering if video audio was just exported and left as is. Would really appreciate a boost with just the audio version to match past episodes.

Will Hahn
2021-01-08 17:06:05 +0000 UTCI hope not. Would much rather had an unedited video than wait.
