03:16:06 Honorable Mentions and looking forward

Video game season is nearly upon us. We spend the first half of this episode covering all the crazy gaming news that has happened in the last month, tell tales of buying new graphics cards, then fight over which roguelite or like or whatever is better - Risk of Rain 2 or Hades, and more!

So uh... we recorded this a couple of days before the Sony show that happened. So we don't know anything about the upcoming PS5 launch/price/dates/games. CLASSIC!

Instead we discuss the Xbox and the surprising Series S price, bad PC ports (aka Horizon), the utter gloriousness of Fall Guys, Risk of Rain 2, and more.

Maybe we'll record a shorter little mini-episode sometimes soon to chat about the PS5 stuff since by the time we next record that thing will be almost out. We'll see. 

We are back after a few months since the last episode, this time with the final two major Sony PS4 titles of the generation. 

00:01:01 The Last of Us Part 2

1:01:39 TLOU2 SPOILERS!!!

2:20:32 Ghost of Tsushima

We are back one again, having just watched the Xbox Game Showcase, we spend an enormous amount of time talking about Halo Infinite and just what in the world Microsoft is up to. After all that, we realized none of us have played much of anything over the past month except the greatest game ever made... Ring Fit Adventure! 

Ok, so this is very late, my bad. It got lost in the shuffle after recording. This was recorded just after the PS5 reveal show a couple of weeks ago. Joe regales us with his experiences of being a shark and a structural engineer (not at the same time, though that would be a heck of a game), Ben's been mining in all sorts of games, and of course... DESTINY!!!

We also chat about The Last of Us 2 and what we expect from it and reviews about it all without having played it as it was only two days away from being out when we discussed it. It's the most relevant conversation we've ever had!

Recorded right after the RIVETING Inside Xbox, we chat about next gen's slow and annoying reveal roll out along with a whole bunch of random games we've been playing while we wait for literally anything to happen!

We are back for another lengthy review discussion of Resident Evil 3 and Final Fantasy 7 Remake. 

We get into some FF7 spoilers near the end, so be aware. As usual, timestamps are below!

Resident Evil 3 - 00:00:55

Final Fantasy 7 Remake - 1:04:33

Final Fantasy 7 SPOILERS - 2:19:00

New game releases are back which means it is time to have focused review discussions about them. Joe and Jamison chat for way longer than expected about DOOM Eternal then Ben joins for nearly 2 hours of Half-Life Alyx chit chat.

There is a spoiler specific discussion of Half-Life Alyx too so watch out! There is ample warning in the audio though so they won't come out of nowhere and the timestamps are below as always. 

Timestamps:

DOOM Eternal - 00:02:37

Half-Life Alyx - 01:11:46

Half-Life Alyx SPOILERS - 02:09:20

The DTH office is closed and we are all forced to work from home to bring you important discussion about video games. Uplifting games that definitely aren't about dystopian nightmare futures. Games like Half-Life, Mass Effect, and The Division 2. We also recorded this immediately after the Sony PS5 tech talk, so there are some hot takes on that. It's a crazy time but the podcasts and the gaming won't stop (unless they do in a month because who knows anymore). 

Stay safe, be good to each other, and play some games!
