Defining Duke, Episode 232 | The $80 Xbox Games Have ARRIVED...
🕑 Added 2025-06-12 16:00:15 +0000 UTCThe fallout of any Xbox showcase is always our favorite episodes to record as a duo! It gets us all involved and allows to pick with greater detail at whatever is on the community's mind as consuming so many trailers. Well, there's mostly one thing on Xbox fan's minds at the moment and it's if Outer Worlds 2 should be the second ever $80 game. There's no doubt about it that there are more to come, but should Call Of Duty have taken the fall? Is this price tag going to prevent The Outer Worlds 2 from reaching its peak popularity? We have many thoughts on this touchy subject, but also on the future of Windows combining itself with Xbox. With Xbox Play Anywhere, things are changing. However, many fans are noticing that most of their library CAN'T play anywhere. Will Xbox ameliorate this and, if so, how quickly? Plus more on Cog's incredible Shinobi story, MindsEye first impressions, the future of Halo's story as a multi-platform title, when we'll get Persona 6, and plenty more!

Cog’s joke about “belonging to the streets” and Matty calling out Cog about people’s little switch cartridges had me laughing while mowing the lawn. Thanks fellas

Shout out to Phone Booth. My Switch 2 preorder process was super easy also. Wario said Walmart had it. I checked the page on a whim and bought it after seeing Xbox raising prices fearing Nintendo might follow suit. Only crazy thing was they delivered it to me at 6AM and left it on my door. Had to run out of work to get it. They threw in 2 free little Cokes. Jealous of people that got Pringles. 😅 Wasn’t a fan of The Outer Worlds but I liked Avowed so I’m curious how TOW 2 will turn out. No doubt Xbox seems to be in complete remaster mode. Gears is the first one up then next year it’ll be Halo 1 remaster. Wouldn’t be surprised if they make completely new stories for Gears 4 and Halo 4 though. Glad Cog got to play Shinobi in the end. #DDWanderingEyes

Strongly disagree with Cog saying that Obsidian is refined. I love KOTOR 2, New Vegas and Alpha Protocol, but they’re filled with jank

MS is kneecapping the hell out of Outer Worlds 2. $70 at the highest. This will be a discount purchase for me personally. Also, I’m sorry, Outer Worlds is not Mario Kart.

Outer Worlds 2 is a $50-$60 game at best. Microsoft set the price to try and funnel more people into Gamepass

#DDWanderingEyes I wish we had more Xbox Ally talk. It was the biggest thing talked about this past week.
