I disagree with Dustin’s point about Helldivers price point. I convinced several friends to buy the games and a large factor came down to its price point.

[@Tatman2TheResQ]

It really does make a difference. Word of mouth works, and it's a lot easier to convince friends to gamble on a cheaper game. We've all been burned by $70 games that turn out to not be good.

[@Youngblaise2]

I bought it and convinced others to buy it because it was so cheap

[@NoNameMnk]

Yeah, Dustin has a really bad take here. Of course with hindsight you could say "Sony wishes they should have charged more" (not exact quote but close enough) but could it be the reason they sold so many to begin with was because it was $40 which led many more people to take a chance on it? I'm sure if it came out at $60-$70 and flopped he would have complained about it being priced too high and only if it had been a more budget title it might have done better.

2:05:30 Colin stop forcing this game onto people, it's really not that deep. The game came out with terrible marketing, awful release window overshadowed by Baldur's Gate 3 and Starfield and ultimately it wasn't a good enough game to garner success. I mean look at Helldivers 2, Sony didn't push this game with a stellar marketing campaign, no beta prior to launch, lots of bugs (😎) and terrible servers... yet people love the game! Why? Cause it's fun.

Hey Dustin, if you read this, congrats to you and your wife on your first child! My wife and I welcomed our first baby back in December and have to say being a dad is so much fun and unlike anything you've ever experienced in life! I know Colin offered you 3 months off and it may seem like too much time. I got 3 months paid time off too and before my daughter was born I thought I would be able to get a lot of stuff done during that time. Speaking from very recent experience, having a baby is way more of an adjustment than I thought (especially with my wife's recovery and the baby's erratic sleep schedule). I ended up staying up with the baby from about 8 PM- 4 AM for the first 2 months just so my wife could sleep. Feeding and changing diapers every 3-4 hours all day was a lot so just saying that you should take up Colin on his 3 months of paid leave offer 😊 Trust me, you won't be bored at all. I used the time at night to play games and clear out my backlog. Plus, hanging out with my daughter without the stress of work was so much fun. Trust me, time will go by so fast so take advantage of all the time you can be with your son!

The idea that you would be bored after a month of home with your newborn is bonkers. Heck depending on how the child is delivered there is recovery time where you have to care for them. My wife couldn't go upstairs more than once a day for a week after our daughter so i was waiting on her heavily, then spending time and bonding with our newborn, making sure the house is taken care of. Its incredibly time consuming.

Chris, do you understand how many movies are made in a year? And then of that, how many are actually superhero movies.

To be fair, GameStop orders games based on the preorder numbers. If it doesn’t get a lot of preorders they don’t see interest. They’ll still get some for walk ins but those go pretty fast.

[@NoNameMnk]

Sometimes it baffles me how they think the world works. Sure it would be great if every store had 20 copies of every new game that came out but if their sales are down they aren't going to keep buying that much stock. They are only going to order what they think they can sell. It ends up being a catch-22 situation. Note: I'm not a GameStop apologist. I don't even think I've been to a GameStop in the past 10 years. But I'm also not going to bash them every chance I get.

To the topic of MTX in Dragon's Dogma: Firstly the reviewers had the information about the MTX, some just didn't read through what they got. The fast travel need two objects, and only one of the two can be brought. Also you can't buy more than one of that object with real money.

[@kkammei]

There’s also no need to even pay for any of it. There’s no store or advertising pushing you to buy them nor is the balancing encouraging you to buy them for “time saving”. Everything is found through natural progression. The conversation around the mtx is a little annoying because some people are just so adamant about things that are completely wrong.

Trust. Dustin is not going to be bored. I became a dad in December 2023 and there is no time for boredom. When you do get time, it is usually in a trade off with sleeping. Honestly, if my employer offered me 3 months I would have snapped it up. In the UK generally most men get 2 weeks. I got 4 weeks and it still felt like it was over in a flash. The blessing for Dustin is that his job is his favourite hobby, but it is going to be interesting to see how his gaming changes and how that will affect his point of view on the show, because it definitely will. From my perspective it's a great thing because Dustin's life will be a little bit like my own in some respect, so I can identify with his gamer dad experiences. I'm so excited for the day that my little boy can hop in the gunner seat of a warthog and I share with him my love of Halo. I bet Dustin has that game he can't wait to play with his son. Being a dad is so cool! Good luck Dustin and Holly, I wish you both well with parenting, it's a wild ride but the most rewarding and heartwarming thing I have ever experienced in my life, I hope it is for you too!

Btw Tales of Arise has a DLC menu showing up everytime you camp. That was absurd. great game though.

That was far more egregious than what Dragon’s Dogma is doing.

2:25:00 probably one of the most clown-tier write-ins on the show. DD2 was my most anticipated game of the year but the degree to which do many legitimate problems with the game, from the lack of innovation over the first game to the lower number of monsters, the paltry enemy and encounter variety, the horrible performance even on my 4090 strix and 13900k and, yes, the boundary-testing microtransactions, have all been handwaved by a crowd of hypebeast "current thing" enthusiasts, who all always want to be part of the latest celebratory cultural consumer moment, and who were all desperate to anoint this game as this year's successor to Elden Ring and BG3, has been as abysmal and pathetic as it has been utterly lacking in self-awareness. I literally watched one of my favorite content creators, Laurence Sonntag, absolutely lose his mind and make an absolute clown out of himself over this game, and it was borderline disheartening after having followed his analysis as a serious person. Other clowns include that fighting cowboy guy and many souls streamers who have all posited this ridiculous assertion that practically all the complaints against the game are just born of a blind hate mob, an assertion that is as childish and ignorant as it is parasocial and arrogant. Absolutely pathetic display of the fact that the real issue with games isn't blind and bad faith negativity, but rather blind, cultish positivity.

@@TheHOOfan1 I’m saying Andor is different from any other Star Wars film or show. He might like it for the dialogue or cinematography. Andor is the best written Star Wars thing of the past 40 years.

@@mattsanders2207 Doesn't matter. It's in the Star Wars Universe, so Colin doesn't want anything to do with it. That's the way Colin thinks. I'm sure he would like Jedi: Fallen Order too, but he's said, he is done with anything that has anything to do with Star Wars.

Whats up with the audio on this episode? Explicitly hearing everyone's inhale on the mic is so distracting. Lol

I cannot wait for what Shinji Mikami does next! He's made 3 of my top 10 games and others I love as well. Feel like he should be considered as great as Kojima or Ken Levine. Chris, it is wild you have not played Bioshock 2, I never got the hate. Also, Dustin, congrats! And be glad you have an employer who will give you paternity leave. My CEO said "Why would I give any paternity leave? I don't want to finance your free golf trips....." Being a parent is probably the most important thing in your life if you choose to do it. Work pales in comparison. Enjoy it!

I would recommend trying the Stellar blade demo. I played most of it, and the game isn't for me personally. It definitely has a Devil May Cry / Bayonetta thing going on. As far as world traversal, interactions etc most of that felt kind of janky. And I didn't care for the way they did the combat overall, I have a feeling Colin won't like the combat.

[@Garoth4582]

I actually was surprised by the game. I enjoyed it but I have enough on my plate to hold off until it's on sale. I think you are right about Colin not liking it though. He talks like he enjoys these types of games but I've never seen him get into 3d ninja Gaiden, dmc, or GoW.

@gregoryjoslin3173 I absolutely love God of War 2018 and Ragnarok. But games like this just don't click for me, I just didn't find it fun. There's no rhyme or reason generally as to whether someone will like a game or not. Just have to play it for yourself and find out.

[@Garoth4582]

@bdre5555 Well, with GoW I meant the originals. That's cool it's not for you dude. There are enough great games for us all to find something.

[@iluvmusicqwe]

I didn't really like it either. I'm a huge fan of action adventure games and souls games but it just felt weird and the world was bland imo.

[@timlanegames]

I’m so asking for the audio version of the live show 😂

Happy 300 boyos!

[@ScaryPeet]

People often forget the case with Shadow of War, a single-player game where the mtx were horrendous and made the game grindy towards the end, to the point where they had to remove them and balance the end-game.

There’s been a pretty good argument that KZbin Premium is actually bad for KZbin creators. If you really want to support the creators you should like and subscribe to increase their potential views with new viewers. It’s also probably a better use of your money to watch the ads or atleast until you can skip them to add to that creator’s participation and support them monetarily with subscriptions or merch purchases.

This podcast only gets worse with time, like everything I guess.

The show was awesome, fellas. Heres to many more🥃
