I don't know if Ben updated his PS5 before this discussion, but it sounds like his problem with Astrobot graphics is due to the recent firmware update. Same glitch is apparently happening in other games.
Just to add a correction. Overwatch was $60 physically on console but $40 digitally. I got the digital because at that difference how could I not. Great show as usual guys!!!
Same here; I intentionally wait years to play great games. I'm currently replaying the og Gears of War trilogy for the first time in 10 years and it's crazy how much feels new despite having played these repeatedly back in the day.
Absolutely loving astro bot, it's exactly what I wanted from a full-sized Astro game. Every moment is filled with joy, fantastic platforming and gaming interactions. Always something new to see and interact with. Some of the mechanics in this game are absolutely brilliant, like becoming a sponge and growing by absorbing water. Game of the Year without a doubt!
Bouncing between campaign and co op when the story called for it was a fun way of experiencing it. I think a lot of people went through one and then the other from the sound of it.
I wrote in about a possible PS5 Pro specialized console this week and the compatibility issues the disc drive would have. Well, one got announced today. Thankfully PlayStation is including a gray cover for the disc drive you already bought.
Ben i appreciate you stepping out of the shadows once in a while to do a show. I know you are busy making sure this shit show doesnt fall apart! Haha I would love to know how relieved you were to NOT be the mayor anymore after a certain event took place in your town lol... Did you ever talk about it? Was it on a constellation i missed maybe?
What we need is a Space Marine styled game in the Fantasy Battle universe. I play Warhammer Fantasy Battle and The Old World. The Old World is incredibly popular now, but 40k is still the sales juggernaut
I got a "save corrupt" back on the gamecube while almost at the end of tales of symphonia- drove me nuts. had to replay the whole game. BUT it made me realize- hey dummy, stop using ONLY 1 save file for jrpgs.
Nah I gotta push back here, WTF are guys talking about with 60fps? Up to the PS3/360 era it was commonplace for most twitch-ish (shooters, racersgames) and a wealth of other games aside. It was the advent of HD that stopped that, and rather than getting back to it as the gen went on or the next gen came, devs continued to push graphics over gameplay in attempts to market and sell their game. That continues now, and it's to their detriment as we see the stats and know what gamers prioritise. If they keep it up, regardless of resource 'limitations' (pfft, mediocre devs more like), then it'll only alienate people and probably start to cost them sales.
I've also gotten used to 60 FPS this generation, on ps5. The first time I saw an open world game running at 60 fps, I just couldn't go back to 30. 30 feels like an underwater flip book in comparison. It's an absolute joke that most of the Xbox first party games still run at 30. And another example of why Xbox is in the toilet compared to ps5.
I definitly recommend Rogue Trader to get your feet wet on warhammer 40k lores after Space Marine. You do not play as a space marine or any superhuman, but you play as someone that's rich and powerful in the 40k world, traveling to different world, dealing with politic and wars, talking to different races and faction. The game go indepth to explain a lot of the lore, and it is great way to learn about the world and how "average joe" survives or die horribiliy in the cruel world of 40k. The only con I would say is that there are too many reading, and most of the dialogs are not voiced. Also the bugs.
I’m probably in the minority, but anyone prefer 30fps vs 60? I almost get a “cinematic” feel in the 30 fps vs a “soap opera tv show” feel from the 60fps.
Which part though? To be honest 40K wasn't the 1st one on its own especially when Warhammer pulled from some other series like DnD, Conan the Barbarian, and Judge Dredd. Yeah Gears has some 40K inspiration to a degree while most of the Gears inspiration is off of Unreal Tournament, which UT's inspiration was Doom.
0 chance GTA 6 will be nerfed on every piece of hardware but the PS5 Pro. Rockstar has absolutely no incentive to have their new flagship title only excel on a 1 premium platform. How would it make any sense for them to lock the game at 30FPS for all Xbox players, original PS5 owners, and mid range PC owners? They've put too much money into this massive property for it to NOT run exceptionally well on ALL current generation platforms.
Also wild to assume the next Nintendo console could cost $500. Nintendo isn't competing with Sony at all, and they know who their audience is (spoiler: it's not people who would ever pay $500+ for a gaming console 😂)
I usually give him the benefit of the doubt but i think Cog subconsciously has a fanboy tinged view on ANYTHING Sony related. Case in point: he started laughing when Brad said that Astro Bot was taking “even MORE inspiration from Mario” because he assumed Brad was making a dig at AB by saying this but in reality Brad said that as a positive.
I can’t understand this complaining about the lack of a disc drive. In my opinion, it’s a smart way to KEEP COSTS DOWN while also providing the OPTION for those that want it. Why force everyone to spend more money if they don’t need the drive?
Astro Bot rocks, nuff said. Space Marine 2 is so overrated. It’s not a bad game, just has way too much hype. Me and a friend completed the campaign and all the Ops. It’s a solid 6.5 or 7, nothing more.
The honeymoon phase has most certainly worn off for me. My rant: The devs are unbelievably incompetent. Their new update screwed up some of the perks and stopped them from working correctly. The difficulty spikes are still too punishing. The slow/uncancelable animations that get you killed are BAD GAME DESIGN!!! WE DON’T WANT DARK-SOULS!!!! THERE’S NO FUCKING EXCUSE!!! There’s too many attacks/incoming damage to block/parry/mitigate. There’s no way to reliably get your health back to maintain the ranged/melee combat. Once again…BAD FUCKING GAME DESIGN!!! The matchmaking/loading is still fucked. The inability to use the same class is BAD FUCKING GAME DESIGN! Unusable weapons/perks/equipment/etc are BAD GAME DESIGN!!! The memory leak problems STILL exist on ALL platforms. The code is so broken, that player characters are starting to be randomly frozen in place like a statue during missions, with unresponsive controls. …bro… They cut a tremendous amount of the game out to try to piece mail it back to us as DLCs for a premium (once again - game files). They make excuses about “adding assets” in the game when the game files ALSO already speak to their existence. I want to LOVE this game, but the empty platitudes and obvious excuses from the developers are very telling. They use GW as a scapegoat for their own laziness on one hand, and then say they (GW) are not to blame for some of the decisions they previously tried to blame on GW. They can’t have their cake and eat it too. When the AOS version of this game comes out, they’ll abandon SP2 and blame the player-base. Screen cap this comment. Unfortunately, you’ll all see in time… (I truly wish I was wrong about this. 😔)

Now this is the 🐐 lineup.
1:31:14 hell mother fkn yes!!!! Brad out here making big moves 🫡
All gameplay DLC for Space Marine 2 is free. The only stuff you gotta pay for is cosmetics
Should have been in the fucking game to begin with.
@@caseyanders1601calm gotten neo American nazi
@@caseyanders1601stop crying. SMH
@@MrWar2050he ain’t wrong but also you right
The pve is amazing for space marine 2. Pvp is just dumb fun.
Which is usually the case with all online games.
But tbf, I am not an online shooter fan.
@@Stonehorn Wouldn't call Siege/Valorant/even OW dumb fun, but I feel ya
Great show guys! 🥂 Lasted my whole First Descendant session and just in time to start the weekend.
When Brad brings back The Desire Index🎉

He did, I'm trying to find the episode
I found it. Concords uphill battle Summon sign 29. Right at the start, I believe this is all he's said on the topic
@@JSilv3r thank you sir
Is that another Jimmy thumbnail? Amazing!
Jesus the Astro Bot spoilers.
Thanks for the heads up.
Summon Sign has never been spoiler free, it's a more casual spoilercast with broader topics.
@@Farowlol very true. I like the format a lot but yeah I need to skip entire sections routinely.

Wipeout VR has good comfort settings. It’s so annoying that it’s not on PSVR2
Zelda echoes of wisdom, metaphore, dragon age veil guard are the games I am excited.

Quantic dream games are amazing. In particular Detroit become human, and heavy rain. Play them Brad!
A Karting game with spaceships and you could use gravity and space anomaly mechanics

I do not think the next-gen base consoles are going to be $700. But I suppose we'll find out in 3-4 years.
You're right, they won't be $700 they will be more.
I think they WILL be $700 unless the economy magically gets much much better.
lol SS brought me back here
Emporer
Witcher 3 , my favorite European game
I agree, Baldurs Gate 3 was a great one last year as well (from Belgium)
3:45 that's awesome wtf
Yeah there's an episode on Easy Allies channel from a few years ago where Huber and Brad hang out with him.
Get on that “Lore”Hammer! Punintentional
Cog needs to realize Gears stole warhammers style and look, not the other way around. Gears is “Babies first 40k”.
Comparing it to a pale imitation.
Which part though? To be honest 40K wasn't the 1st one on its own especially when Warhammer pulled from some other series like DnD, Conan the Barbarian, and Judge Dredd.

Do you expect an Xbox fanboy to really use their brain?
@@chris9206Doom was literally inspired by Warhammer 40k.
@@RagingWolffethat was uncalled for. He’s slightly fanboy-ish but he’s also a good dude and has good analysis
Gears of War is better than any 40k game though

Just don’t get it. There’s no universe where the ps6 will cost the same or more as the ps5 pro. 500 max. 600 if the disc drive is separate
Why not? The PS5 was more than the PS4 Pro (unless you’re digital Chad like me and bought the digital one).
I can’t understand this complaining about the lack of a disc drive. In my opinion, it’s a smart way to KEEP COSTS DOWN while also providing the OPTION for those that want it.

Love the fact Jaffe was on one episode and has never been invited again.
Thank god for that.
We can tell you buy your clothes from Ross
22:29 totally fair comparison, very silly but there is that year apple didn't put any ports on the macbooks and all the press gave them shit for it...
I thought it was a bad comparison because my 2017 MBP only has the 2 Lightning ports. That’s it. lol

They’re making an AOS (Age of Sigmar) version where you play as a stormcast eternal.
