Breakout

Jesse joins KC and Marty on Breakout this week as they discuss everything Konami.

Adventure is Nigh Season 2 has started and with Nick out of town, Jack is here to spill the beans on some behind the scenes fun for the new season. Plus, we'll talk about Square Enix and their sale of their Western development studios to Embracer.

Live service games have become a big thing in the games industry, with countless examples of projects that failed because they didn't do it right. But what about the games that did?

With so many games to complete these days, a lot of people have been asking - how do you push yourself to actually complete them, and manage that massive backlog you've been building? We also discuss the recent Star Wars / Marvel gaming news, plus some updates on how Nick is feeling about the Halo show.

With the big gaming lull finally here, Nick has been checking out Cyberpunk 2077 again after waiting patiently for the next-gen updates. Marty's still finding weird things in Kirby and KC has been enjoying LEGO Star Wars.

Sony has revealed their the new PlayStation Plus model with updated tiers to compete with Microsoft's Game Pass, but we're wondering if they're making a mistake to not include their first party games at launch on the service through any tier. Oh, and the sequel to Breath of the Wild 2 got delayed again, so we'll talk about that.

We've seen the first two episodes of Halo on Paramount+ and it's weird. We've also been playing Ghostwire: Tokyo and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and have full impressions for you.

We've gotten some hands-on time with Ghostwire: Tokyo and Marty is pretty jazzed about it.

Xbox ended 2021 on a strong note with a lot of momentum, but due to troubles with Halo Infinite's multiplayer, and a lack of updates on new games three months into the new year, a lot of that momentum has slowed down. What's going on?

This week on Breakout we discuss Elden Ring, our continued impressions from it and whether or not it's a good starting place for newcomers to the Soulslike genre.
