Disc Count

Bet you thought you were rid of us. Much like we thought we were rid of the heat, back it came to bite us. We overcame technical changes, we overcame being down a host, and we brought you an episode all the same.

Hear our thoughts on recent developments in the world of gaming, our own gaming tales from recent weeks, and our thoughts and judgments on the PS Plus titles for September 2024.

Here we emerge, battered and bruised from another season of fighting over games we bought on the cheap. There have been bad weeks. There have been good weeks. There may even have been great weeks, but you'll have to go hunt them down and tell us where they're hiding.

Without a tie break this season, things are much smoother. Come with us as we discuss our Bottom 3's and Top 5's of the season we've just... experienced? Endured? Survived? Before we decide a top winner for each of our fabled categories.

Another series of our monthly fights has come to a close, and the generator has picked an appropriate topic for us to end on - Only right we choose games where we go through all this work, and then start over again like nothing happened!

Come see which of Enter the Gungeon, Returnal and Risk of Rain 2 gets the furthest before starting from the beginning, and also see who takes home the coveted loser crown - Someone wins too, but who cares about that?

Xbox is on fire, media is on fire, everything is on fire - Including us, but in the good way! We soldier on the only way we can, by avoiding our responsibilities to play a bunch of games and pass the benefits onto you!

We personally at Disc Count HQ have been very excited for this one. We obviously love all of our topics equally, like our personal topic children all living their happy lives inside the random genre generator waiting for their day to be chosen. But we can't deny our excitement that a topic as dumb as Fish finally made it out of there. What a great day.

Come along to see which of Maneater, Spiritfarer and Subnautica was the fishiest fish game to ever fish.

Even though E3 is gone (but forever in our hearts), the gaming world still loves to drop a whole bunch of news this time of year. We thought we'd once again awkwardly have it all drop after the May episode was recorded, but a) the last episode was lost to the tech gremlins, and b) the showcases just kept coming so at least one is technically relevant, so we have that going for us.

Hear our thoughts on recent developments in the world of gaming, our own gaming tales from recent weeks, and our thoughts and judgements on the PS Plus titles for June 2024.

We had to go outside for this episode. If that isn't enough to garner your pity and warrant a listen, it's hard to say what is. Rather than our usual topics where we look for something in game, for this episode we had to brave the world, go into second-hand game retailers, and train our eyes to the floor in search of questionable titles. It was a time. You're welcome.

Join us as Far Cry Primal, Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair, and Horizon Zero Dawn fight it out to be the most bottom shelf game in CeX, and in our hearts.

This has been a tough test over in Disc Count for this week as no one likes to sell physical rhythm games... even those that were once popular have been booed offstage making it a very difficult task for the hosts to find good games. So take your seats as three white people all try to justify what rhythm is while they all click, tap and bob out of time with one another; one of them is on the beat though as they pretend they are just the best dancer in the Maharaja.
