The first saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has come to it's dramatic conclusion in Avengers Endgame! This 22 film epic has become a cultural phenomenon and a major topic of conversation here over the last 10 years. In this edition of 4Player Plus, we take a deep dive into this final chapter and talk about everything from Time Travel to Thors Hammer to... the plot of NBC's new show Manifest?

Despite middling reviews, Nick showed up determined to give a slightly different take on Sony's latest Triple-A Exclusive, Days Gone. Brad gives us the breakdown of SteamWorld Quest and tries to articulate why the game seems underwhelming despite sounding like an excellent idea on paper. In the news, we discuss Valve's new VR headset, the horrifying new Sonic the Hedgehog movie that exists, and we speculate that From Software's next game is in fact a Souls-ian Pirate game called Booty Patrol.

After an unexpected week off, we are back with an episode packed full of impressions and news! While Nick and Krispy have been impressed by Mortal Kombat 11, Brad and Nolan have been hooked on a new indie Metroidvania called Supraland. With Dreams out in Early Access, Brad shares his experiences and struggles like crazy to accurately explain the creator tool set. On top of all that, we also talk Katana Zero, new PS5 details, Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, and a lot more!

Red Dead Redemption 2 was one of last year's best games. It struck a cord with a lot of us here at 4Player and now that the dust has settled, the time has come for us (with help from our Patreon supporters) to take a deep dive into the game! We talk about everything from the underlying themes to Rockstar's mechanical design philosophies to the emergent moments that made it one of the most memorable gaming experiences of the generation!

SPOILER ALERT - While we did not set out to spoil the game from top to bottom, there are quite a few discussions involving major plot points or surprise emergent moments.

Please Note - There were a couple minor technical hiccups involving unstable internet connection that resulted in Krispy sounding like a Robot... I left it in for comedic effect.

We may be talking even more Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice this week but the generosity of a beloved Community member also introduced Krispy to an awesome new Indie game called Pathway. As hype for the upcoming release of Mortal Kombat 11 rises, Nick busted out Mortal Kombat X to reacquaint himself with the franchise. We also talk our hopes and concerns for the impending reveal of Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order this weekend and the rumors circulating about the next new project from Guerilla Games!

This week's show goes to some truly unexpected places. Of course, Brad returns to the couch to finally give his impressions of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice but we also answer some hard-hitting questions about terrible pastries, voluntary "limb" modifications, and the lies that good people tell. We also assess a bunch of Nintendo rumors including new Switch hardware and potential leaks coming out of Best Buy ahead of E3!

After skipping a week in favor of a fun community night, we return to the fold with an episode packed full of impressions and news. Everyone on the couch has spent a decent chunk of time with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Chris Davis finally has his chance to talk about The Division 2 just as Nick starts to get hooked on the first one. Of course, there's also a ton of news to talk about thanks to Google's Stadia, The Cadence of Hyrule, and Gearbox's awkward announcement of Borderlands 3!

In our first bonus podcast of 2019, we ask an important but not entirely serious question: Is Capcom back? After a couple years of achieving impressive critical and financial success (thanks to games like Monster Hunter World and Resident Evil 7), it's time to start asking ourselves whether this is a happy accident or the start of an upward trend for the company. We react and respond to questions and talking points submitted by our paid supporters on Patreon and Twitch in an effort to sort out our feelings on the subject!

Our next episode will be in early April and will be serve as a Spoiler-filled Post Mortem on Red Dead Redemption 2! Check back for your chance to help curate that discussion!

As you all know, we answer the important, life altering questions on our show. For instance, this week we debate whether or not straws have holes and I think we came up with a definitive answer. Perhaps more importantly, we talk about Devil May Cry 5 which has proven to be a very divisive game within our group. Brad introduces Baba is You while Nick and Nolan try their best to convey their disappointment in Resident Evil 6 but only manage to make it sound more appealing.

We are on the cusp of a whirlwind month of high profile game releases... This week however... is rather quiet. That won't stop us though! Nintendo finally announced their introduction to the VR space this week with Nintendo Labo VR and Capcom is on cloud 9 now that early reviews have ensured that Devil May Cry 5, at the very least, will prove to be a substantial critical success! In other news, Nick finally feels the pull of Monster Hunter World and Krispy is loving his time with Slay the Spire!
