Defining Duke, Episode 77: Xbox's Long Wait Begins - Is There Enough In 2022?
Added 2022-06-23 16:01:04 +0000 UTCWith some space between us and the showcase, news has slowed down and the dust has settled. It's now that we can take our best look at the road ahead and answer a crucial question: is there enough for Xbox in 2022? Between their new "console launch exclusive" strategy and the investment in Game Pass for Day 1 releases, there are many questions for us to answer. One such question is could Xbox potentially deploying a tactic from the Nintendo playbook in 2023 to stagger the staggering amount of games in the pipeline so they don't cannibalize one another? The Dukes sound off, but there's much more to talk about in an otherwise relatively quiet week. The Activision Blizzard chopping block claims another victim in the name of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 + 4 remake and Forza Motorsport is (begrudgingly) spoken about in a positive light! Plus more on the "Piss Gate," Final Fantasy 7's eluding of Xbox, and much more!

2022-06-26 05:22:55 +0000 UTCI don't watch the videos, but looking at the last DDU, Matty is a lot closer to the mic because he's sitting down vs standing in this one, but I don't know if that would be enough to cause it.

2022-06-24 16:10:03 +0000 UTCYeah they can be a bit annoying with that, toxic fans are annoying regardless of their platform. I do understand we’re all biased in one way or another but that shouldn’t stop us from trying not to be.

2022-06-24 14:46:05 +0000 UTC100% how I feel and I get it’s hard to not be biased. We all have our preferences. I feel the same way about their attitude towards Sony fanboys on Twitter. Like I get it they are super freaking annoying but I don’t find them any more annoying then the guys writing “put it on Gamepass” under Nintendo owned exclusives.

2022-06-24 00:59:56 +0000 UTCI’m all for acquisitions if the company needs it no matter who gets them but I do wonder if cog/Xbox fans are more pro acquisitions since their platform is unrivalled in money.

2022-06-24 00:36:11 +0000 UTCIf Jamie reads this comment section. You're not jaded, but if you think that's all modern gaming currently has to offer I feel like you're probably avoiding indie games. Indies are often delivering more fun and meaningful experience than even half the AAA studios these days. Cog is 💯💯

2022-06-23 21:39:50 +0000 UTCI'll be playing P5R the moment it drops in October. I only ever got through the first palace on PlayStation and I don't have a PlayStation anymore so I'm really excited.

2022-06-23 21:32:26 +0000 UTCWe gotta bend the knee to Sony when it comes to Final Fantasy unfortunately. They've got this franchise locked up at the height of its power. Atlus games like Persona and Soul Hackers tho it's time to support and buy.

2022-06-23 21:30:36 +0000 UTCThanks for answering the question, Dukes. After hearing you opinions, I actually like staggered release too. I sub to Xbox and PS on Youtube. When it finally comes to the other platform I see the trailer again and maybe think “Oh yeah, I forgot about that and wanted to check it out.” At the halfway point of the year Neon White is my GOTY. So freaking good!

2022-06-23 19:03:58 +0000 UTCOkay.. First off I love the show and you guys obviously..NO ONE IS SITTING AND PEEING IN PUBLIC PLACES LIKE THE FUCKIN AIRPORT! But when you’re at home and it’s late and you’re gonna take a piss it’s totally fine to sit down to avoid a Tired overspray! Do you mean to tell me you guys don’t piss at all when you’re taking a shit?!? Gtfo. At home I sit and pee whenever possible your stream is also closer to the curvature of the toilet and you urinate against that to eliminate any splash back (that’s by design) . Whenever you stand and hover your piss above the toilet the distance from your waistline to the toilet itself causes excessive splashback and leaves dry piss crystals everywhere. And you can always keep the toilet seat down to keep the lady happy.. Otherwise great work.. I appreciate the show.
