Sacred Symbols+, Episode 215 | Did I Just Record That Mailbag With My Freaking Mind?
Added 2022-08-13 16:00:09 +0000 UTCChris Ray Gun is back with another mailbag for Sacred Symbols+! What is a standout demo from his childhood? Peanut butter or jelly? Does Chris just not like a lot of PlayStation first party games? Does he watch e-sports at all? Despite the clever title of the episode, Chris did record this with his voice, and you should listen right now.

I think RE2 remake is a perfect mix of good gameplay and cinematic. And it respects my time by only being 10-15 hours. Every PlayStation game being super long and open world is really dragging.

2022-08-20 14:49:37 +0000 UTCWhat's odd about munching out on Olives. Don't think that's considered odd at all in the UK or Europe. Also let's all acknowledge Chris referred to George Romero as Cesear Romero who played the Joker in the old Batman show.

2022-08-19 09:45:39 +0000 UTCI really like these episodes, and I gotta say Chris was so right about E3. The new structure we've been left is dry.

2022-08-16 15:41:39 +0000 UTCI remember getting discs with like 50 demos on them for my birthday. I played Spider-Man demo endlessly.

2022-08-16 07:48:02 +0000 UTCI have more faith in Peter Gould than Vince Gilligan at this point tbh. IMO Better Call Saul is better than Breaking bad, and that’s something I never thought I’d say ever.

2022-08-15 18:28:49 +0000 UTCI’m with Chris on the PS3 era and beyond of Sony. They rely so heavily on how “cinematic “ the games are but they rarely have gameplay that I even remember at all. Gameplay to me truly is king and in that department, Sony is not very concerned with a variety at all. Nintendo and Xbox give you really great selections in titles and they aren’t afraid to give its audience something new. Xbox really doesn’t get credit for it’s diversity and get labeled as a shooter box. Yes Halo and Gears are shooters (that feel like nothing else on the market) but they have simulation, Tactical, Strategy, Western RPGs, Narrative Games. Sony just doesn’t do new things and it’s audience and the media laud them for that but personally the PS1 Sony shits on todays Sony. I want games to be games, not movies.

2022-08-15 16:33:45 +0000 UTCThe story was great but the gameplay was kind of more of the same. I'm gonna do a ng+ soon and do more side stuff and see if my opinion changes. But yeah loved the story didn't really care for the rest

2022-08-14 21:53:38 +0000 UTCThe first demo that came to mind is Fight Night Round 3. I remember being amazed by those graphics. I had the same reaction to the BioShock demo as you did Chris. But the hype around it pushed me to keep going. Wild take on sandwiches. 😄

2022-08-14 02:21:18 +0000 UTCChris saying Caesar Romero instead of George Romero made me laugh.

2022-08-13 19:14:21 +0000 UTCWe don’t fall in line on games much (I barely ever replay games and I enjoy the cinematic approach a lot of Sony games have), but it’s always interesting hearing out your takes to understand other perspectives more fully. Thanks for taking the time.

2022-08-13 18:53:24 +0000 UTCAhah, downloaded to listen later, but already chuckling with the title. Btw, going back to the recent SS regular episode: one of the first things I noticed with the original Forspoken trailer was the cringiness of the dialogue, in particular that line. I imagine a lot of people felt that way. Regardless, Chris’ genius expressed it in a whole new level, congrats :) Between this and the Lara Croft cockney I feel we’re on a sure way to stardom :)
