Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Marathon Is Consuming Our Lives!
Q: Could Marathon sustain ongoing content updates like Destiny, or is it more like a live service experiment with uncertain longevity?
The hosts believe Marathon has the structural flexibility to sustain updates through new codex entries, enemy variants, maps, and ongoing seasonal content, which is more manageable than a large-scale single-player campaign cadence.
Is The Outer Worlds 2 Underrated?
Q: How do you feel about the current state of Destiny 2?
The overall sentiment is that Destiny 2 is struggling with player count and engagement, leading to fears of it becoming irrelevant.
Is The Outer Worlds 2 Underrated?
Q: Do you think Metroid Prime 4 is getting unnecessary hype given its development history?
There seems to be a lack of marketing and a concerning silence which might indicate hesitance from Nintendo.
Is The Outer Worlds 2 Underrated?
Q: How are you finding the new RPG mechanics in The Outer Worlds 2?
The RPG mechanics felt more impactful, with choices that truly influenced gameplay and character development.
Returning to the Greats Ft. MysticRyan
Q: What is your goatee so far?
By default, it's Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but I also surprisingly enjoyed Astrobot.
