Skyrim

It is an MMO but it is a looter shooter and Fallout is more of an MMORPG. Anthem didn't feel like a lot of things because it was dreadful 😂 - I mean it has broken every single bad record Fallout 76 had and that takes some doing.

I know right? The jokes are absolutely horrible from the delivery to the actual jokes themselves.

I'm not sure what you mean because both games are MMOs but with Dragon Age Live Service set to launch sometime this year or early next year, Anthem will be taken off life support around October - November.

Lol, That sounds like me - I have a Nintendo 3ds at home here - never touched or anything. I bought it for my cousin's birthday and he didn't even want it.

Avengers assemb...Oh wait! wrong script -_-

Do you know what the irony of this situation is? Anthem is probably going to die off way before Fallout 76 does - EA always breaking new records for the wrong reasons.

My point exactly.

As @DylanC said, gaming brings about fantasies which would otherwise be impossible in RL. Gaming oddly enough gives me time to reflect on an issue I am having at the moment and I come up with a solution while gaming.

Except that with games especially from AAA companies (COD for example), the DLCs usually cost almost as much as the original game and the DLC itself doesn't add that much content. Yes, Resident Evil is an exception to the rule by giving us free DLCs but it's weird that the standard nowadays is that you pay for a game, end up with having to pay for DLCs when you already spent $60 dollars on the game. GTA online also give free DLCs but it requires spending upwards of $200 dollars to acquire most of the stuff that comes in the DLC. Yes, you could do heists and other stuff repeatedly but all it turns into is a massive grind that'll take maybe 2-3 months to get half of the stuff in a DLC. I am using the current industry practices of EA and the bigger corporations as they are the ones that set the trends in the gaming industry.

The difference is those were optional - You could still complete the original game without buying the remakes. Most of the games nowadays purposely give you an incomplete game which forces you to buy the DLCs. I agree that selling many re-releases of older games is a horrible practice (one of the many that are quite overlooked in the gaming industry) but the DLCs of most modern games cost even more than the original game itself and that is quite disturbing.

I remember most games being at $35 to $40 dollars - I'm not sure about $60 dollars. On top of that, you have to purchase DLC packs for modern games which takes the price way over $60 dollars and then add to that the microtransaction systems in-game take the amount of money spent on one game to astronomical levels.

I miss the amazing stories in older video games as well as the games were practically bug-free and completed instead of this day-1 patch nonsense. On top of that, older video games were way more affordable.

Great job with this podcast and I do agree with your thoughts on the PS5. I was wondering if you guys could touch more on the patent Sony filed for an emulation system which would theoretically make the upcoming PS5 be backwards compatible with PS4 and earlier generations?
