Episode 68 - Stalker II Game of the Year?


Listen Later

Good morning Coin Droppers!

Today we're talking about the left overs from PAX 2024, specifically Stalker 2 as well as some new footage of Dragon Age Veilguard shown off by IGN, and Phil Spencer admits he's made some pretty awful decisions.

STALKER II

The long awaited sequel to the cult classic game is finally upon us and I for one think its CLEAR contender if not a absolute winner for Game of the Year. Stalker II is an amazing game and if you're at all a fan of FPS I promise you will not be disappointed by this one. I wanna quickly say thank you to the team for taking the time to talk with me about development after the demo at PAX 24.

Dragon Age Veilguard

We've talked about this game a few times but with the recent release of an extra 22 minutes of combat and gameplay I figured it was worth bringing back into our line up. Gameplay wise it looks great I just cant get passed the awful snap chat filter they applied to the Qunari's faces. That shit will haunt my nightmares.

Phil Spencer

CEO of Xbox Phil Spencer was actually at PAX this year though I didn't make time to go to his panel. He apparently admitted that he's passed on some pretty big games that could have otherwise been exclusive to the Xbox ecosphere but doesn't regret the decisions. We understand the sentiment but at least LEARN from those bad calls please Phil?
