Defining Duke, Episode 66: Game Pass Price Increase + Undead Labs "In Trouble"

I never got to go to an E3, but I’ve been to PAX West twice and it was very special. I always wanted to go as a kid to a big game convention and it was so awesome. Yeah there was some cringe people walking around and some needed deodorant, but I felt “cool” playing games early, met some fellow Big 10 Football fans in jersey’s, and did some tournaments with friends. Definitely a cool experience.

I do want to be clear that I think Xbox should absolutely make more 3rd person action adventure and open world games. I enjoy that genre and so do the majority of gamers. It's a major deficit that needs to be made up for, but I just feel that it isn't the end all be all. Anyway, thanks for replying to my comment that was about the discussion generated by your question. I love to see people actually talking to each other in the Patreon comments.

Another great episode Dukes. Love the stories about E3 and the end was hilarious. Thanks for all you do.

Get back to work.

I would give credit if starfeild , hellblade and others are good. I do agree that we shouldn’t discount Xboxes strengths just because they don’t interest us. Tho I do see certain studios they have that have a lot of potential for Sony fans to like. Namely arcane being 1 on that list

They bought those OG and early 360 games too.

Little weird hearing someone talk about ShopRite while I'm working in one while listening.

In regards to the game pass family plan I imagine it will work like the YouTube red family plan, people link their Microsoft accounts in a way that you can’t access each others accounts and don’t have to use the same username and password, if it was Netflix style I would never use it because I don’t trust people with my account like that, my friends play too much

Yeah I agree with Koepnick that hardcore Sony fans won't give Xbox any credit for Starfield. Not even Fable or Perfect Dark change their mind because those aren't new IP. Honestly, this is a very tiring and annoying subject when plenty of other people can find tons of great games on Xbox that aren't available on PlayStation. Saying Xbox has nothing interesting is like saying PlayStation has zero interesting exclusives if you don't like 3rd person action adventure, open world, JRPGs, etc. It's just incredibly narrow minded. Clearly Xbox has a better line-up of simulation, racing, first person shooters, strategy, online multiplayer options, etc. Just figure out what consoles fit your tastes and move on ffs.

Why would IGN pay over market value? That doesn’t make any sense to me.

Dana Anderson

Yep! Definitely on my list after Weird West.

A response to is not equivalent to equal there's a big difference boys. multiple planes crashed into the twin towers and we bombed the shit out of and occupied Iraq and Afghanistan for years. A response that was greater then the original action. They could have just sanctioned Iraq or done something that was a response but not equal to or greater then the original attack Playstation responded to game pass by making their own version of a subscription service which be realistic they already had they just expanded on it. The response doesn't need to be equal to or greater than to be a response. A response also doesn't need to be a direct competition as long as it's a response

Also we don’t accept or acknowledge Jim Ryan at all Matty. Like I kinda dislike him honestly lol so I didn’t even know he said that about game pass. That’s his problem tho he talk to damn much , and usually out the side of his neck 😂

It’s a fair point to say I can’t just dismiss forza because it isn’t for me. I just need more games like gears of war. If Xbox leans more into arcane , ID software etc. from the 1st person perspective I think they would get more of my attention. Maybe buy a studio or 2 like remedy , they would fill a massive hole for them. A lot of people hated on quantum break but that’s still one game to this day I wish was on PlayStation.

Matty my man on that plant-based milk train!

You can't sleep on Aldi's "Millville" brand cereals. Their generic Frosted Flakes and Cinnamon Toast Crunch legitimately taste better than the real thing. But I agree on PB. Skippy all the way...

The rates IGN are paying might have been passable in 2002 when I first started as a journalist, but in 2022? GTFOH. That’s an insult. I’ve written for outlets in other industries that paid almost $1 a word, and that was a DECADE ago.

Will Hernandez

Sorry I don’t want to win over the PS guy loving to pay $75 for games and will only play sad dad movie games…..He should definitely stay on PlayStation

Shane Geis

Who do you think makes the store food brand's peanut butter? The same people who makes Jif or Peter Pan. It's whoever the grocery store has a contract with.

Professor Chaos

“Max Payne 2: Fall of Man” nice Resistance/Max Payne mashup Matty lol

MarkGrouch

Starfield isn’t going to satiate the “Xbox doesnt produce good games from the ground up” crowd, because it’s not a game that Xbox made. They bought it. A lot of us just need quality exclusives, like OG Xbox & early 360 days. It’s been over a decade with no evidence of home run game development outside of, what? Racing? And that pirate game?

Kenneth Koepnick

Matty you could try out Tunic. Game of the year level quality that no one is talking about.

Flaunty

Matty we’re on the same page about that interview collin did with abandoned director I felt the whole time with very little truth he was lying majority of the time it’s a shame.. collin did a 10/10 interview but that guy I already didn’t give a crap bout the abandon game now I’m out until proven otherwise 30k I never laughed so hard when he said that and collin did the math for him! Haha 😂 legendary great episode so far not done yet but I had to add my .5 cents on that for sure!

Interested in seeing Matty's thoughts on Weird West next week. I'm also a big Dishonored and immersive sim fan and since this came from one of the cofounders of Arkane, I needed to check it out. I gotta say, I go through highs and lows with it. I always go pacifist/stealth in Dishonored and I thought Weird West would respect that playstyle but so far I've found stealth to not be as rewarding. However, I really dig the vibe and atmosphere of the game, and I'm curious to see where the five separate playable character story arcs all intersect at some point.

Looking forward to seeing the comment section on this one 👀
