One can only hope that The Coalition and Microsoft listen to the Dukes, and not only in respect to the E-Day plans.

Directional Joy

? Is a song that, as a white guy, I can’t share or sing, publicly, but it always stuck with me, as a shotgun volume message.

Bartevious

Outkast is one of two artists I have basically all the vinyl for. Only missing idlewild. Truly timeless and special duo

Directional Joy

I like both, for certain songs, but to compare the two is blasphemy. BEP is great for motivating and fitness music, in the background… Meanwhile, Outkast is a true thinker. You are welcome to enjoy them, on the casual, but they say so much in there deeper cuts. ❤️ & ✊

Bartevious

Yea, just do it right from the jump this time. MCC has been the best way to experience the original trilogy for years now (halo 2 original Xbox modded to support multiplayer withstanding)

Bartevious

Matty leaning into pause moments is so great. Sure, describing the experience of drinking boba tea is tough to do without pause-worthy language. But to just commit and say “as you suck it down and feel the balls”… a comical lack of effort was given to skirt pause territory 🤣 “why is there meat in my throat” 😭😭😭

Bartevious

I have no problem with Colin saying the name of a Watch The Throne song (obviously). But I do have a problem with cog saying Colin loves hiphop. Dude constantly says OutKast and the black eyed peas are the same, inseparable group. 🤦‍♂️

Pianopower

Agreed. I know it’s well intended, but Americans views on race are so..strange

Bailey Callis

Having Cog as Dom in the thumbnail and NOT Coletrain is criminal 🤣

Matty, as far as Lego games go, you only have one logical conclusion Lego Marvel vs DC If any company can do it, its TT Games, and not to mention that recently, they announced a new comic that has both companies crossing over again, its free money IMHO. Tho, a couple of other good ideas could be Lego Disney, Lego Marvel: The Infinity Saga, Lego James Bond maybe?

Mr. Scott If You're Nasty

Me screaming two piece it's called two piece lol

Casey Cieslikowski

lol you have to be some kind of retard to be offended by someone saying the title of a song.

Dude, nothing is staying put. “Nothing is off the table” The only reason why you would stay with Xbox is if you enjoy GamePass and prefer playing on console vs PC

NeO JD

TH is gonna be a nice pickup for Game Pass Gears 3 really should have MP. That was the best one IMO. But I’m copping that collection either way. Same with Halo. Expedition 33 previews really built up the hype even more. #DriveDD

I hadn't heard constellation this week so I was really shocked to hear a write in that Colin dropped the n bomb in the episode, and I was annoyed to learn that he was saying the name of a song. Is this really where you're at? Saying that Colin is "trying to score points in the culture war" by stating the name of a song is so overtly asinine that I'm surprised you would be interested in long form content for thinking people.

Halo 1 anniversary didn’t have remastered multiplayer when it released. Rather, we got multiplayer maps and game modes in Reach. I remember people being incredibly upset about this (me included). If we are being real, though, Gears multiplayer wouldn’t be worth the investment in today’s multiplayer climate. I can see “9000 concurrent players a month after launch” now.

Not going to lie Gears to Playstation is a deal breaker for me. I get it exposure, more money on old games why not, but Gears is the only reason I've ever owned any Xbox consoles. Hopes to fable is staying put, but Xbox has been frustrating i can't even buy a disc of indiana Jones. Warning: Platinum trophies incoming

Gooch Gobbler

Do the rest of the gears feel less tanky than 1? I want to get into it but damn I felt like I fuckin iceberg in that game when I tried it out a few months ago

Hustle&Motiv8

Facts, I have a feeling one of the games will have a MP component

Francis Bustamante

Correction for next week: The PS Store preorder charts aren't cumulative. Since FH5 just went up for Preorder this week. All this means is that more people are pre-ordering Forza this week than WWE or AC Shadows. Not that Forza has more preorders this week than AC Shadows has had since May 2024. If that makes any sense. We just can't assume total pre-orders by this Store data.

CUMSoftware

Jez said Gears Collection won’t have mp but what about Horde? It takes place on the mp maps but is considered coop. For the record, having horde but not mp isn’t acceptable

ZakBlade

Cog, your Avowed ending “this is not a spoiler” discussion might honestly be the first time I’ve heard a games media person use the phrase “this is not a spoiler”, and then actually not spoil anything. Thank you for talking about your point in an understandable way while actually avoiding spoilers. Keep being awesome!

Shard of Odium

Matty and Lord Crocfeeto, you should have gone with “No games DD,” shove it in their faces!

Macro

Matty thinking Gotham Knights and LEGO Star Wars both came out in 2021, man can't tell years for WB Gamss

Mike Normal

Man I was pretty t'ed off hearing no MP being the case with the collection.. man I really really wanted a straight up MCC collection style. woulda been cool to play them in Gears 2 and or 3 gameplay, but it could've been difficult with literally every single Gears entry feeling different, Gears 1 is the probably the most different feeling Gears out of all them though. More positively speaking, maybe this is because they want to offer further incentives for picking up Gears E Day with the inclusion of Gears 1-3 remastered map Playlist 🤔
