86. Helldivers 2 Works & We Love Legacy Games!
This was a fun run. I look forward to what's next.
I too understand being near death.
I understand but I will certainly miss your weekly podcast!
I've got Uprising and willing to travel and play it with you and two other people!
Civ 7 Totally understand. So many nights where I blink and it's 3AM
Crikey Game Informer, that's a blast from the past. I used to love reading their magazines as a kid, back when it was all about the Sega 16 bit! Completely forgot they existed.
There are so many gaming news websites as it is and gaming news RUclips channels... 😋
Yeah I can’t imagine much of anyone but the people who lost their jobs are devastated! Let’s just hope whatever GameStop is cooking up isn’t lame!
Hey Adrian, Appreciate the words! We'd be happy to swing by once we're finally done with this Kickstarter!
Absolutely, whenever you're ready we'll set it up!
Get your lazy tuchus to work Adrian!
That racing plac3 is appointment only iirc ruclips.net/video/IAJLp_FE_9w/видео.htmlsi=vMvndVQCv2W9ASxT
There’s definitely rolling sheep in Elden Ring 😂 also Hollow Knight and dead cells are great experiences and a challenge
My eldest child is a health & safety "officer" for an Ontario LARP if you want a contact
Ooooooooo!!
Sad.
I love this game. 👍
I'm in the minority, but I really dislike Terraforming Mars.
How dare you! Honestly I can see it, it’s a bit cut throat which I like but I don’t think it’s quite as refined as some of the others in the genre.
@dicetopixels part of it is, it's so hard to track where players are in scoring with all the damn cards and the tiny text on them. Also when I was playing it was on the sh*t base player boards that are so easy to mix up you tokens.
Xbox series X has Rock Band Rivals. And I've still got some of the stuff.
Sarah looks like a Karen and acts like a cool Karen!
You really should listen interview of original developer of KSP, this is REAL inside information of current situation - ruclips.net/video/sJFGDSi8R5o/видео.html
SARAH IS AWESOME
Sorry, no Sarah hate here!
You don't talk about Board games because I'm never a guest...
Canadian tables were nearly the last shipped from the first Kickstarter. You need to come over sometime and see mine. I picked a Maple Wargame table. I have it set up and love it, however it's covered in shit for us sorting out the office and such. I did get to play some games on it and had a lot of fun. I'm pretty sure the first kickstarter for the MGT is totally shipped. There was a second and now there's a third iirc.
1. I very rarely play either, but I’ve had better experiences with rogue-lites than with rogue-likes. 2. I never delete a save-you never know when you’ll come back to a game, and it’s nice to have options besides starting completely over. I’ve gone back and finished games with 8-10 years between saves. 3. If it’s a dungeon crawl, sure, bring on player death. I leave it out of games where players have developing narrative arcs.
We may not be a large audience but we are here!
We appreciate it so much! Hopefully streaming will be making a come back in the summer which should be fun for all of us.
Reviews on Drive-Thru RPG have pretty the same opinion regarding the mechanics of Daggarheart.
So far I’ve found a couple things that weren’t directly noted in the patch notes for Stardew.
Love the "Daddy Adrian tells us a story about the good old days" segment!
I would love to teach you guys Kingdom Death: Monster and do a few sessions with you.
That WWI card game is fabulous, I've never won but enjoy the struggle. The number of times we've had only 1 or 2 cards left
I agree, you having time for talking about games is important! 🙂
It's time to admit it. Live Service multiplayer is the future of the videogame medium. The age of single player is over. The time of multiplayer has come.
1.5 billion in Wagyu A5 steaks. Blue please
Am I so fat that I really wanted a video about actual steak 😂
Kudos to Adrian for deciphering “the golden ratio”
I think you unknowingly touched on the reason why PlayStation is focusing most of its resources on Live Service Games now... Single player gamers dont spend money. Too many SP gamers wait for sales while Live Service players love the games they play and will fork down $20 bucks for a new skin.
There are very few games that I have ever paid full price on. Mind you, I'm not a huge gamer. I would rather wait, watch a few videos of other people playing the game and make my decision from there. Those have kind of become my demos. I think the only games that I would even think about paying full price on are Last of Us and Ghost. Even though I know Last of Us will emotionally scar me for ever
There's a very valid argument for streaming/youtube vids becoming the "new demo". Spnosored vieos doubly so!
The reason why studios are pursuing Live Service is twofold. 1. Gamers prefer it. The Live Service market is already larger than the traditional SP market and it's growing while SP has stagnated for years. 2. AAA SP games are getting less and less profitable as costs skyrocket and sales don't. I think you guys are a little blinded by your preferences. The strategy is sound.
We'd be very interested in your source for "gamers prefer it". The sentiment market (awards, reviews, etc) in general definitely does not bare that out. They make more money, but that doesn't equate to a bulk of gamers preferring them. Going by dollars alone, mobile is the category to beat by a wide margin. Also keep in mind that Chad and Adrian have both logged more hours (by miles and miles) in live service games than any other type. We don't dislike them at all (well, Sarah does a bit!)
@@dicetopixels If you look at the top 20 most played games on PlayStation each month, roughly 17 of them are multiplayer Live Service. This is doubly impressive when you realize the industry has historically spent significantly more time and money making SP games. I think PlayStation leadership saw a market imbalance (not enough Live Service games) and is going to do really well over the next few years on their Live Service games. Helldivers 2 already looks like a smash hit. I just think Live Service generally fixes a lot of the problems that have plagued traditional priced games for decades.
@@dicetopixels Investment doesn't pursue accolades...it pursues revenue. The Live Service segment of the market is already larger than the traditional segment of the market but it's also still growing whereas the traditional model has plateaued for years. If you look at PlayStations top 20 most played games each month, roughly 17 of them are multiplayer Live Service. I think if anything the market is underserved at the moment. Just look at Helldivers 2. It's now the biggest AA PS5 exclusive in existence. They're having trouble keeping servers up due to load. I think it's quite clear at this point that Live Service still has lots of room to grow, whereas the traditional model has plateaued for years. Great show!
You're absolutely right about the money -- live service has a much bigger potential there, it'll be interested to see if this year's awards/reviews/etc favour the live service side of things. Though mobile will probably continue to outstrip it in revenue, just because... well... mobile.
@@dicetopixels I tend to think old media prefers traditional style, single player games. Who's giving out GotY awards? Mostly old gaming media. That being said, I don't think Arrowhead Studios would trade all the success they're seeing now for Housemarques (Returnal) acclaim. The ultimate goal is to make money, not win cheesy awards.
Are game reviewers allowed to have negative opinions? That could cost the company money.
Hahaha pretty sure they're each allowed to dislike one game each year :)
I fall into the pit of turning Skyrim into a farming game.
Supposedly the certification process is different for Steam versus MS and the developers are blaming the MS issues on that.
"i don't want to meet new people, but you should" 😂
Especially ones that choose nominees based on race and sex quotas
At least with board games I own a physical copy
Paying as you play is like a more sophisticated arcade, lol
I respectfully reject the premise. The defence calls Hazelight’s “It Takes Two” to the stand. Take away its third dimension and, I challenge, you take away the soul of its platforming, to say nothing of the joy.
I will absolutely put it on the list to try out! Perhaps Chad and I (Adrian) can even stream it.
@@dicetopixels Please do, I'm confident you won't regret it. Hazelight is a studio to watch. A friend and I played it couch co-op , and we both remarked afterward that it had been since our childhood that we'd had such fun with a platformer. I think a 2D version would struggle, especially with (slight gameplay spoiler) the asynchronous genre shifts.
Sarah and I played it when it first came out. Gameplay was fine, we just couldn’t get over how shitty the parents were. Lol
@@RiffMachine No arguments there, they certainly won't be winning any parenting awards.
This is partially why I feel no need to get new gaming systems. I am content with playing the old ones. Even my kids love the NES and SNES games.
I haven't played d&d since the ogl & Lizards of the Coast has continuously show themselves to be a reprehensible corporation. There're so many creators making interesting games so why are you continuing to buy content from WOTC? They just laid off a huge percentage of their creative employees then gave the executives huge bonuses. The people who actually made the game you like got shit on right before Christmas, do you not care?
It won’t be voice actors being hired to coach the AI, it’ll be voice directors-who formerly were coaching the voice actors. I see nothing hopeful about the situation, I’m afraid.
Nicely put. This is probably the most balanced take I’ve come across. And to the newscaster’s credit, she said herself she was speaking as a mom. Her comments were good-natured and it’s a shame to see her lumped in with pundits who espouse vitriolic anti-gaming positions.
Black flag is nothing but a mone grab, half ass, 14 year old turnng in his homebrew crap, stacke don top of the ACUTLA work of WOTC.. its horrible and an obivous rip off. i didnt like WOTcs Dbag attempt to protec thtier IP the wya they did but that being said, all of the vultures who jumped as soon as WOTC put 5e in the Creative Commons jsut proves WOTC wa sjsitfied in doing so. Worse all of the internet zombies who think Paizop , Kobold etc are some innocentsaviors of the game are so gullbile. these companies ar edoing it for the same reaosn as WOTC... GREED.
