Sacred Symbols, Episode 190: The Bright Side (Video)

LOL.

Colin Moriarty

We'll take it from here...should be new LSM slogan.

Jeff

Oh of course it’s why I would never pay for it. Just meant if you were for say traveling a lot or camping or something without it. Apple likes thinking everyone has free money to just toss around lol. And yes I own apple products it’s just a general thought

easelgames

I'm fine with wi-fi.

Colin Moriarty

It's a bummer it wasn't more on-the-go, but it was a little early.

I think the reason ipads have 4G or whatever is pretty simple. They are treated like laptops, both in price and function. And while you can just hotspot.. keep in mind if all you have is your phone, that even with unlimited data plans you still have pretty limited hotspot data. (think 3-10GBs) So hotspotting netflix on your phone to your ipad would be a bad idea .

I actually had the 3G Vita as well, and I actually used it a fair bit. I mostly just used it for Twitter, Foursquare, Near, and for syncing the Hotshots Golf daily tournaments. You didn't need to have AT&T as a provider for any other devices, it was just $20-25 a month for Vita online service. It was incredibly limited though, it was only for syncing games, and for downloading very small games, I think limited to 20 or 200 megabytes, can't remember which. I actually took it with me to some conventions and used it for taking pictures to post to twitter. On the plus side, I modded the 3G vita, and installed an internal SD card for it in the 3G slot, so that's the only system I have that can use an SD card and a Vita game card at the same time.

Dustin saying "They got me" when it came to the Blue Clues movie was just hilarious great show guys.

Kbr Sports

Oh, see, I totally disagree. Looking forward to talking about it.

Colin Moriarty

Right, but the math still doesn't add up. Trust me.

Colin Moriarty

I bought it at the ps5 price.. but I have mixed thoughts about the game itself. I think Guerilla has not yet mastered the open world genre. The game has great combat and lore. But the open world design imo is poor. The towns are still very dull and stilted like the first game. I expected a bigger leap forward in this regard. I think AC origins and Ghost of Tsuishima does open worlds better.

On the price discussion, yes, while games are getting more expensive to make, they are also selling more than ever. GOW 2018 sold more than every previous GOW combined, same with Uncharted 4. Still, I don't mind paying $10 extra for a quality game if it means they'll continue to make them. But games like 2k and Fifa increasing their price does not make any sense because of the amount of mtx they are selling.

Joe

Also, big fan of trees myself, if you catch my drift (can’t find a wink emoji that doesn’t look like I’m hitting on you, so just imagine it)

Nygile Oliver

Unfortunate you guys aren’t getting into Sifu, it’s early in the year and I already know it’s going to be in my game of the year conversations with how perfectly crafted for my love of Kung fu movies it is, but with Horizon on the horizon, I can hardly blame you. 16 hours in, and THAT game is PHENOMENAL

Nygile Oliver

Glad you're happy with your purchase. =)

Colin Moriarty

You'd think they'd wanna move product.

Colin Moriarty

Could be like the TV edit or something, but yes. Good point.

Colin Moriarty

=)

Colin Moriarty

Yes, Rapture is BioShock. The game.

Colin Moriarty

I'm fake vaping.

Colin Moriarty

=)

Colin Moriarty

Tomorrow!

Colin Moriarty

This sorta happened in dark knight rises when they reworked banes voice because people said they couldn't understand him and they made it more audible because of complaints.

Piston Pants

It doesn't really justify Sony's decisions with Horizon, but I was planning on getting the PS5 version to avoid any nonsense with the upgrade. I got the $80 special edition and it came with the steelbook and a really high quality art book are more than worth the extra $20 I paid compared to the PS4 version and I'm really happy with it. I know comparing digital to physical is kinda apples and oranges but just throwing in my two cents.

Andrew Gambill

Dustin, I had a similar experience when I purchased my Vita. The guy at gamestop tried to talk me out of it because it was “dead”. This was around the same time you got yours. I had a similar experience when I got my Wii U (fair).

Jacob Childers

Isn’t it interesting how the difficulty conversation always demands game developers to include an easy mode but you never hear this in other mediums? Imagine demanding Christopher Nolan release an "easy cut" for dummies like me which laid the plot out in chronological order. Or demanding Dostoyevsky rewrite Crime and Punishment at an 8th grade reading level so I don’t have to think so hard. Too much entitlement and not enough respect for a vision.

Dan P

I don't know wutch your talking about -Dusting

Dustin Furman

Amazing work on this thumbnail, the font hurts my brain the longer I look at it and try to figure out the Photoshop process but beautifully done

Chris Nelson

It literally drives me insane how dusting pronounces watch like “wutch”🤣🤣🤣

Brian Comstock

Col, I know you’re a big USA guy, but even I didn’t expect you to put Columbia above Rapture. Rapture IS BioShock. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it in the new game as well.

NeO JD

Great show as always. One question, what is Colin vaping in every show and why is there never a hint of exhaled Vapor? Are you simply absorbing it into your cells?

Dan P

Goddammit right "most popular in the world"!!!!!

Ro_Shambo

Great episode guys. Colin can’t wait to watch that big Sacred Symbols+ you were talking about!

Shawn

I don't really get what you're saying.

Colin Moriarty

Unclear.

Colin Moriarty

Victimized.

Colin Moriarty

I do find it funny when Xbox beats Sony in sales it’s lack of hardware available for Sony , but when it beats the switch it’s no mention of lack of units On Switch and Xbox.

Hose A Contra Razz

What sort of disciplinary actions do you guys have planned for Chris’s absence?

Michael Miller

Damn I got fooled by the horizon ps5 situation. Pre-ordered on my ps5 last week and didn't realize there was a ps4 upgrade path :/ Silly chickens

Mike Sage

Indeed.

Colin Moriarty

Goofy.

Colin Moriarty

That's probably what we'll get.

Colin Moriarty

Nah, I stopped before Black Flag.

Colin Moriarty

Could happen!

Colin Moriarty

I loved Sifu it was one of the most challenging but rewarding platinums I've gotten it really demands that you master the combat or "git gud" you could say

Walker Simmons

Dustin, it’s Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Scarlet that was censored on the PS4 but not on the Nintendo Switch. The PS4 does not include some items that add to the lewdness of the game (softening gel, golden fan, etc).

Xtian

I would guess the Bioshock movie would be the fall of rapture

Angel Of The Past

It's strange. What I'd like to know is what their thought process is.

Colin Moriarty

Yeah man, that's a good combo.

Colin Moriarty

It's so good.

Colin Moriarty

I'd rather die. =D

Colin Moriarty

I recommend adding a little ranch dressing to your chicken maruchan ramen. I grew up poor and ate maruchan ramen every day. I learned ways to spruce it up. Lol

Derrick Gott

Colin, gotta say I'd be in the same position as yourself, if my fiancee made bread like Micah makes for you everyday, as for some reason bread is a guilty pleasure of mine and can easily devour a loaf a day if I didn't check myself

Zack Fair

Chicken ramen is the nectar of the Gods. And it’s gotta be maruchan. I recommend making a grilled cheese and dipping it into the juice. It’s like $3 meal that I could eat for the rest of my life.

Colton McKinney

Wait, hat in time runs at 60fps on next gen? I gotta try it again on series x

RK128

The censorship Sony is doing lately is really concerning, I don't need Sony telling me what I'm allowed to see as an adult. I'm a hugh PlayStation fan, but I've definitely been playing my Xbox more this generation so far, and I'll be buying the Xbox version of Martha is Dead, even though I'm all in on the trophies ecosystem. But I won't support censorship. Also I got a refund on the PS5 version of Horizon and bought the PS4 version. The PS5 version took minutes to download with my speeds so the pre loading wasn't a factor for me. I put that 10 Gil refund into Cyberpunk, after the next gen version launched.

Liam Mcnulty

Dude, A Hat in Time is incredible. Check out New Super Lucky’s Tale as well, both having recent 60 fps patches.

Brandon Soto

Just finished this episode. Hey Colin, have you tried Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag? Imo, it's one of the best AC games and it's still one of the most unique among the series. It might be difficult to go back to an almost 10 year old game, but there's just a lot to love in Black Flag. Keep on keeping on man!

Robby Deadman

As a bedroom music producer and aspiring video game composer, I would love to hear a conversation with someone in this field. Maybe an idea for a SS+ episode? I appreciate all the work you guys do!

Ryan Rumsey

"Rent" seems totally antiquated to me, but that's my take.

Colin Moriarty

Interesting.

Colin Moriarty

In regards to scoring, I love the organic way things are done here. In regards to other content creators, I like how ACG does it where it’s a simple “buy rent, wait for sale or don’t touch” I’ve been saving this question for when you do a call in show, but I would love to see an episode where you theorize how the industry would change if no one provided review scores and meta critic didn’t exist. I feel like it would change mainstream game development a lot as they wouldn’t have to worry so much about hitting a 90 etc. hell, we would have gotten a days gone 2.

Kenneth Oms

Thank you for answering my question! Great episode as always and if you was wondering, you can actually link your Wii U and 3ds accounts to Switch but I don’t know if many even did that.

RK128

I went to Alberta in 1995. Beautiful. =)

Colin Moriarty

About the Last of Us tv series. Supposedly they are currently filming in Canmore Alberta, which is in Banff National Park. From being there two summers ago that town has some stunning scenery plus it is currently winter. As an Albertan I'm exited to see how the show will look!

Wyatt the Riot

Awesome! =)

Colin Moriarty

<3

Colin Moriarty

The maelstrom Colin is perfect . Great episode as always!

Zachery Bergeron

Checking it out now. -Dustin

Dustin Furman

Hyped!! Full disclosure I just reached level 25 in HZD (1). Can not wait to finish and get the new game.

gnawtyFOX

Some timestamps around the 1 hour are in the wrong position again lol. I'm NOT complaining just letting you know. Thanks for the great content :)
