Good Morning CoinDroppers, Today on the podcast we're talking about Ubisoft's insane expectations for Assassins Creed Nexus as well as a growing trend in the industry that needs to change.

Rolling straight from one issue into another we're discussing how bad Embracer group is and what they've done to beloved franchises and dev teams. 

Then we're wrapping up our free side with a pretty damn good 4k upgrade port for hands down one of the best RPGs ever made, Legend of Dragoon. Recently it got a 4k and 60fps facelift during an unofficial port to PC. 

Thanks for listening and we'll see you next time.

Good Morning Coindroppers!

Today on the podcast Tim and I are discussing more Microsoft Bullshit. Shocker. I feel like we talk about them WAY too often so you have my word this is the last time we're talking about them for at least the next four episodes. 

Anyways, Final Fantasy XIV is finally coming to Xbox but you STILL have to have Xbox Live Gold to play it. Which is the reason Square Enix didn't release it there in the first place? 

After that we have shocking news *sarcasm* Helldivers II is amazing (According to Tim and many others). 

Then finishing up our free section of the episode, Disney has purchased a roughly 6.6% stake in EPIC games, what does this mean moving forward for Disney and IPs like Marvel and Star Wars? Time will tell.

Good Morning CoinDroppers! Today Tim and I are actually talking about games today, shocker I know...

To be more specific Tim and I started the night by discussing a new PvPvE game I hesitate to call a "Darker and Darker Clone" but ultimately it's an accurate description though they've put their own spin on it and made it their own with some interesting mechanics that make it look pretty cool.

Next up we discuss Phantom Blade Zero a game that for some unknown reason to me, I remember seeing and then promptly forgot it existed entirely. This new game is from the creators of Ninja Gaiden and looks amazing. I can't wait to check this game out. It's definitely one I want to play. 

Then to wrap up our free side Tim and I discuss the big titles from Sony's State of Play on the 31st of Jan. Stellar Blade, Dragons Dogma 2, Rise of the Ronin, and Death Stranding 2.

Good morning CoinDroppers! Today we've got Tim a little bit more.... lively, than in other episodes, it was his daughter's birthday so he may have had a few too many but it's all fine. 

Today we're talking about Horizon II Forbidden West getting a PC release date just over a month away as well as the upcoming open beta for Skull and Bones.

After that, we're talking about how Microsoft continues to suck and the fact that they laid off 1200 people most of which working at Activision/Blizzard. What does that mean for Diablo IV's expansion and other titles from them? Guess time will tell.

Then we close up the night for our free listeners with a dire warning. FNtastic has threatened their return to game development and has announced they're working on a new project! A mobile game. Hilariously enough they put out a call to "veteran devs" to come work on the project and honestly, I don't think they're gonna get very many. As with the previous topic, I suppose time will tell. 

Hope you enjoy the episode and again thanks so much for your continued support.

Good Morning CoinDroppers!

New week new topics. Today there is a surprising amount of bad decisions being made in the industry. First off, a "legendary" Half-Life 2 YouTube creator named Ross 'Accursed Farms' Scott (never heard of him) is pursuing legal action against publisher Ubisoft over the shutdown of The Crew's servers.

Continuing the trend of bad business choices, Sega has SEEMINGLY decided to lock the new game plus feature of Like and Dragon Infinite Wealth behind the Delux Edition. This means if you buy the base game you apparently will not have access to New Game Plus.  

Then to wrap up the night Tim and I talked about the January game show from Xbox (briefly) unfortunately we ran up against the clock and didn't get to dive as deep into it as we would have liked because we ran up against the clock. 

Thanks again for your continued listenership and for tuning in to the CoinDrop Podcast.

Good Morning CoinDroppers and can you believe I'm on time with the post this week? Been a long weekend for me I hope you all had an enjoyable one. 

Today we're talking about Suicide Squad and we have slightly differing opinions of this game I think but ultimately, maybe let this one cook in the oven a while longer. After that, Tim shares his thoughts on Grand Blue Fantasy following his long play of the demo that was released. You can check out his video on his YouTube channel if you'd like to see more. 

Following that up we're talking about a fun little game made by one man called Esoteric Ebb. A small indie game built on D&D 5e rule set and plays similarly to Disco Elysium which is a phenomenal game if you need something new to play. There's a demo right now for Esoteric Ebb if you'd like to check it out for yourself on Steam. 

That will wrap it up for us guys thanks again for your support and don't forget to tell your friends about us. Have a great week and we'll see you next time.

Good Morning CoinDroppers Tim and Russ talk about Xbox having a game that "was in talks for game of the year" going to competitor consoles. A modder has made a fantastic project called Unreal Virtual Reality or UEVR for short and has basically made all games that run Unreal Engine playable in VR. Over 1100 games are supported by this mod and I for one can't wait to play them! Ending the night Tim and Russ discuss what was great in 2023 and what we have to look forward to in 2024.

Good Morning Coin Droppers I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. As always we appreciate your support in making this podcast happen it means the world to me. 

Today we're talking more in-depth about the Insomniac leak and what was stolen from Insomnaic.

A strange patent Sony filed for a new gaming feature that in some form or another has already existed for a while but with a new and interesting spin.

Then to wrap up the night could Gamepass go free to play with ads? We're calling it Adpass and speculating on how it could work and our thoughts on it. 

If you head over to our Patreon we'll be discussing the announced retirement of Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard as well as a new segment where Tim and I discuss some of the larger or more interesting games coming up in the next few weeks.

Good Morning CoinDroppers

Today Russ is doing a solo show. Tim was out sick so it's a shorter show and unfortunately no exclusive side this week.  Monologuing for 30 minutes was a lot of work and it felt like it was 20 minutes too long. With that said today Russ talks about the Q&A with Enshrouded Devs Keen Games, Updates in the saga of FNTASTIC's shady ass practices, and Insomniac getting hacked. Hope you enjoy the show and we'll see you next week.

Good Morning Coindroppers I appologize for the slightly delayed post but here it is!

Today we're talking about the GTA VI trailer drop and some of the great games we saw at The VGAs. Keep in mind the games we discuss are only a small amount of the games that were announced so if you want to see all of those games make sure you watch the event or read up on the games announced at it.

Moving on from there we're talking about The Day Before and my thoughts on the game, which might surprise you. However, all of that is irrelevant because FNtastic announced their doors were closing only 2 days after recording this. 4 days after the game's release the company reportedly shut down. So that should tell you a thing or two.

Hope you enjoy the podcast and if you want to read the transcript I mentioned for the devs at Keen Games working on Enshrouded you can find that on our Patreon (patreon.com/coindropvets) for free for everyone to read. Consider tossing us a dollar a joining our discord where we discuss all things gaming and ask Tim for a free game.
