For the Love of Gaming Podcast

 

It has been awhile since the 4LOG crew has been able to meet, but the stars have aligned and the podcast is back.

God of War might have come out a while ago, but that doesn’t stop the crew from giving the opinions and if they agree with the “game of the generation” reputation it is getting.

Cory played Detroit: Become Human and didn’t agree with the critics that it is David Cage’s best game. In fact, he called it his worst by far.

While Sea of Thieves has some good ideas, the crew agreed there wasn’t enough there for this game to launch.

Cory described State of Decay 2 as a pain simulator. Which might sound like a bad thing, but he actually meant it as a compliment.

Cory was about to pull his hair our over Crash Bandicoot N’Sane trilogy due to the controls, and it turns out he’s not completely crazy.

Cross play for the PS4 with Xbox One and Nintendo Switch is in the news, and it seems that the crew is confused why people are getting so bent out of shape.

PlayStation 5 has a lot of talk surrounding the release date and a bet was made that it will hit in either 2019 or 2020.

This month features Dynasty Warriors 9, Celeste, Moss and Drunkn Bar Fight. And rumors of the PlayStation 5 dev kits going out to third-party developers.

This month’s show features Cory and Basher talking about just how broken Dynasty Warriors 9 is.

Chris tried to conquer Celeste on the Nintendo Switch.

Cory and Chris played some Moss and Drunkn Barfight on PSVR. And believe it or not…Chris liked his time in VR!

Dragon Ball Fighterz comes up in conversation and the crew is split so far on the mechanics. But they all seem to be in love with the hand-drawn art and animations.

PlayStation 5 dev kits appear to be going out, and the crew talks about how they think it is too soon for Next Gen. As well as what this means for the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X

Call of Duty Black Ops IIII was also confirmed by Activision. Confusion of tally marks ensues.

Battlefield 5 appears to be going to World War II which is kind of boring in the crew’s opinion.

Finally, The Division 2 was confirmed and Cory and Basher debate what they want to see out of a sequel and why the original failed to stick the landing in many ways.

Microsoft announced that Xbox Game Pass will now feature all first-party titles going forward, starting with Sea of Thieves. The 4LOG crew discusses how this changes the gaming landscape.

 

2017 has come and gone and that means it is time for our annual Top Ten Episode.

Each 4LOG crew member is going to give their top ten games for the year, but remember this is their favorite games not necessarily the best games.

Then its time to be a little sad with the biggest disappointments for 2017 and there are some surprises you might not see coming in this category.

After that its time for the best moment and what game each member is looking forward to most in 2018.

Thanks to everyone who has listened over these past years. We love you all!

Assassins Creed Origins gets some love as well as Cory and Basher debate on what makes the series good and why Origins is a good but flawed entry into the series.

Cuphead has finally released after a 4 year wait. Did it live up to the hype? We think so.

Smite Tactics: Hand of the Gods is in beta on consoles, and Chris has become addicted to it. Basher disapproves of any card game apparently.

Metroid: Samus Returns hit the 3DS, and it is a very solid Metroid game and a welcome return to form.

Chris picked up Golf Story on the Switch and he is really liking this golf RPG.

Law Breakers made some big changes that sounded good on paper, but in practice made the game feel even worse.

Gaming season 2017 has begun! That means there are games galore and not a lot, if any, news to talk to about.

Destiny 2 released and the 4LOG crew has been playing the latest game from Bungee. Does Destiny 2 finally fix the issues that the first game couldn’t?

Lawbreakers released on PS4 and PC, and even with its’ budget price, Cory and Basher talk about how they have already sort of forgotten about this title from Cliffy B.

Mario +Rabbids: Kingdom Battle came out exclusively for Nintendo Switch, and somehow Ubisoft managed to make a real cool and fun XCOM style game with Nintendo flavor.

Uncharted: Lost Legacy hit the PS4 and Cory talks about how he enjoyed it far more than Uncharted 4 and how stupidly beautiful that game is.

Cory reviewed Ark: Survival Evolved and basically called it false advertising.

Summer 2017 is wrapping up. As always not a lot of new games have come out, but Splatoon 2 did hit the Nintendo Switch. Cory picked it up along with Chris who now owns a Neon Nintendo Switch!

Sonic Mania released just a few days before we recorded this episode, and Sonic Mania is believe it or not, a great Sonic game.

Diablo 3: Rise of the Necromancer hit PC and Consoles, and Cory talks about how it’s one of the best characters in the Diablo 3 roster.

Titanfall 2 received a new titan, which Cory couldn’t remember the name of, and Basher spent some time dropping Titans as well.

Overwatch Summer event thing started, and of course that means a discussion about Overwatch breaks out.

The Xbox One X: Project Scorpio Edition pre orders go up soon, but Crackdown 3 was pushed to 2018 leaving Microsoft with only Forza 7 for their first party output in holiday 2017. So as always, a discussion breaks out about the future of Microsoft and how Sony is staying on top of the gaming landscape. Is the Playstation 5 just around the corner to combat the Xbox One X?

 

Thank you for sticking with us as we made the move to the P4 Network. For the Love of Gaming Podcast will continue on!

Prey came out from Arkane Studios and Cory finished it, but wasn’t as impressed as a lot of other gamers were.

Injustice 2 grabbed Cory with its’ loot system, and Chris finished the story mode and was pleased overall.

Project Scorpio has finally been revealed as Xbox One X. It will be coming on November 7th 2017 for $499. A dicussion breaks out obviously about this console as well as the PS4 Pro, and the confusion of 4K gaming.

God of War, well new God of War, is coming to the PS4 in early 2018. The 4LOG crew talks about why they aren’t nearly as excited.

Super Mario Odyssey seems to of had the strongest showing at E3 2017, and Cory as a Switch owner is very excited to play it.

Problem is…Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus comes out the same day as Mario, and that game is easily Game of the Show for E3 2017 in Cory’s opinion.
