Take a shot for every "fly too close to the sun." Die in three minutes.

Saying Starfield is a straight ripoff of Alien in its visual style is wild. Sure, Alien is the gold standard in analog sci-fi, but even Ridley Scott talks about getting most of his inspiration from that from Star Wars. And Starfield takes it further by giving it more of a hopeful feel reminiscent of the space race l that’s honestly rather unique for sci-fi. If one wanted to call it a ripoff of anything, it more closely resembles 2001, and even then, it’s still very unique from it. Matty sounded like those kids you knew in college that took a semester of Film Appreciation as an elective with that take.

Even the companies/studios that are "good" at live service aren't really good at live service... they just got lucky. Right place, right time. No developer really knows until they try, and that's what Sony is doing right now with GaaS. They are trying... because maybe they can get lucky, too.

Benjamin Pope

I'm not a developer, but I think the reason why Sony doesn't just spin off a secondary studio to support TLOU Online(Factions 2) is because those people would have to become intimately familiar with Naughty Dog's game engine. I think that's one of the biggest issues. The people who would take on Factions would have to essentially become Naughty Dog devs in the process. It sucks ass for sure... I'm one of those players who still plays the original Factions. The game is in a bad state with cheaters and exploits ruining the game, but even with that it's still so special. There is something truly unique about Factions. No MP like it.

Dude I would definetly recomend you to try again. The abilities were one of my favorite things in the game and the way you use them to explore the whole map was such an upgrade compared to BOTW imo.

phil mccarthy

Completely agree qith you sir!! There's great chemistry in all the crossover shows and Brad is awesome!! I want to see Jaffe on Summon Sign more too...need that chaos! =)

Bartevious

Id love to see more SSxDD crossovers on summon sign too. Brad with these guys is awesome content too

Bartevious

Yeah I’m poor as fuck but I love games so I made unwise financial decisions to build a pc, buy a PS5, and buy a steam deck to pair with my switch I bought from my first job a whole 7ish years ago now. But at least I can play any game I want while my switch and ps5 collects dust 95 percent of the time

Bartevious

I need to try TOTK again. I got like 15 hours in and sputtered out. Didnt like the abilities as much as BOTW and besides a couple new areas that felt like the only change

Bartevious

It has been consistent since the business update though they have tried to keep quiet in certain areas. They have flipped stances about 7 times this generation.

Wow wow wow... Patriots were a real dynasty Colin. You take that nonsense elsewhere.

Breno Bezerra Bluhm

Really respect your opinion mate, but I can’t say I can relate as TLOU2 is my favorite game of the decade alongside Tears of The Kingdom so far.

Zach

Exactly. As a primary Xbox user this is the truth. They are doing a balancing act with trying to go purely 3rd party without pissing off the people they've been hyping up about exclusivity for the last 10 years. They need to just rip the band aid off already. People are going to be pissed about it no matter how they do it.

Mr. Scott If You're Nasty

TLOU was excellent. Top 3 in my gaming life. TLOU2 .. one of the biggest disappointments in my gaming life.

Mr. Scott If You're Nasty

I think he was referring to his balance issues. He was having vertigo-like symptoms for a while.

StefanSt

Matty mentioned that he has some health issues. Anybody knowing what's going on? I've missed it in case he has been talking about.

Colin getting his holes filled by the dukes isn’t how I expected the podcast to start. Ohhh! My guess is no price drop on PS5 yet, and the Pro launches at $599 digital, forcing people to pay the extra $80 for the disc drive.

Jeffery Carlson

X Box messaging isn’t inconsistent; it just isn’t want the base wants to hear: all games are eventually going over. All their actions and words point to it.

Katana Silver

Judging by how well PlayStation games sell on PC I suspect most PC gamers will complain about making a PSN but then do it anyway to play their games

TVN Nee

Xbox needs to make a gaming phone boom

No expendable income = bum

Derek Hart

I think you're confusing expendable income with being "poor".

Breno Bezerra Bluhm

Insane that Colin thought he was gonna be the only one to give The Last Of Us a 10. That was a game changer and I still think it’s insane that it was a ps3 game. Still remember reading Colin’s review all the way back in 2013.

Rufián

Only poor people care about platform exclusivity. If a $600 console purchase breaks the bank, your priorities are misaligned. Gaming is a privilege. No hobos allowed.
