Thank you. <3

Colin Moriarty

Gotta say, the titles of the episodes each and every week are always on point!

Dion Collier

Yeah, that's true. On a one-off basis, it must be relatively simple.

Colin Moriarty

You're gonna love it!

DICE's engine is the reason they are alive.

Colin Moriarty

I would assume they'd figure it out, but I don't know.

Colin Moriarty

I'm surprised by how many people are coming to its defense! But I digress.

As for the reselling of PS5's, its not as annoying as it's been made out to be from that question. Many people sell them in person off FB marketplaces, craiglist, etc. Basically a PS5 costs about $500 and can easily be resold within a day at $750-$800... So thats an extremely low effort sale with no additional expenses, taxes, etc

I was intrigued with Far Cry 6 but you’ve sold me on it, Colin. Loved 3, wasn’t a big fan of 4 and never played 5.

I feel for BioWare… They seem to be a shell of what they once were and it can only be true that EA should take a large chunk of the blame. That said, it looks like ruining BioWare isn’t enough for EA. No, it seems like they’re intent on destroying one of their flagship studios (that’s been with them since 2005 IIRC): DICE. DICE was an absolutely beloved FPS studio and while they’ve always had rocky launches, the DNA of a great game was there. In recent years, we’ve seen key pieces of the DICE team leave at both leadership levels and below. We’ve seen disasters like the Battlefront 2 launch, the marketing disaster that was the Battlefield V launch, and now the disastrous launch of Battlefield 2042. 2042 is completely lacking when it comes to identity and it fails to maintain the parts that were done right in their most recent titles. One can only chalk this up to an utter lack of leadership and a lack of understanding of what makes a great Battlefield game. As a lifelong Battlefield fan (since playing 1942 on my parents’ PC back in the day), EA’s handling of DICE pisses me off to no end.

Also you're right, dragon age origins sucks ass

As a longtime bioware/mass effect fan to the point that I have mass effect tattoos (and plan to get more), I'm so disappointed with the state of bioware after that legendary trilogy. With all the people that have left, theres no way they can capture the magic of either sequels they're making and honestly I'd rather they just put both series' out to pasture rather than gruesomely killing them in front of us like andromeda leads me to believe. Even more unfortunate is that, I doubt they can get the support for a new IP, so as I see it, their choices are tarnish their reputation further with more soulless sequels or die a slow death by the hands of EA. It's real grim over here as a bioware fan smh

Nygile Oliver

That may be true, but does Joe Public know this?

Kid-Organic

Possibly, but the PS5 technically has more space than the PS4, when you consider the truncation in game size.

Colin Moriarty

Not a bad idea. =)

Colin Moriarty

I’m wondering if why we’re seeing more physical purchases on PS5 and Switch is due to the systems’ native storage solutions and in how they’re fairly limited in space, or with Sony’s console, the initial inability to upgrade the storage capacity.

Kid-Organic

Can "Doing space stuff!" be a new merch line please? 🙏

Lee Bull

Yikes.

Colin Moriarty

CrayGunstilin , you're welcome.

Great episode! I am genuinely curious about where you heard Wheel of Time was getting a bad reception though. You’d be hard-pressed to find bigger lovers of the book series than my family and I, and we all love it and think it looks pretty great, with maybe some iffy shots here and there. Getting good reviews as well from what I’ve seen from major outlets. Also, terrible to hear what Andy’s family is going through. Hoping he can continue to find joy in the podcast.

Ronny Barrier

The enthusiasts playing these old games aren't going to play those new games in any great number. There is no opportunity cost.

Colin Moriarty

LOL.

Colin Moriarty

This isn't what I've heard.

Colin Moriarty

Or better yet, if they stayed independent. =)

Colin Moriarty

People playing WipEout HD on PS3 aren't playing the Omega Collection on PS4. People busy with Warhawk aren't gonna be playing Deviation's game. People playing Killzone 2 might not care for Guerilla's next game. People crunch boosting Freedom Wars right now can't be playing Ghost of Tsushima: Legends. Doesn't hurt Sony my dick. Too much competition, but keep telling me Firewalk's game isn't competing with Factions 2. What is it you keep saying about opportunity cost?

NickBLeaveIt

I love Chris' flopover hair in this!

Eebo85

This. I was just listening to the episode and thought the same

I am making the next BioShock game in my basement. I am here to confirm it is a 2D open world anime dancing game in the style of Persona 3 Dancing in Moonlight.

Danny Akenson

Sorry to hear about your twin brother, Andy. My thoughts are with you and your family. I know how hard it is to have a family member stolen from you like that, so you have my sincere condolences. You don't know me but if I you see this and want to talk then I'll happily talk to you if you want.

Liam Mcnulty

BioWare honestly was killed off when the mass exodus began following the launch of Mass Effect 3. I like the ship of Theseus comparison. They were pretty much a totally different company by 2016. If only a publisher like Sony bought them instead of EA
