  • What Is So Wrong With An Easy Mode? | For The Players – The PopCulturists’ PlayStation Podcast EP99

    It seems to be a repeating occurrence that whenever a Soulsbourne game (or Souls-Like) is released the internet debates on whether it should have an “Easy Mode”.

    In this weeks episode Josh and Ryan discuss Easy Modes and whether they use them, should they be implemented in Soulsbourne style games like Sekiro, or will you be less of a Gamer for doing so.

    They also discuss PSN name changes, their continued love for The Division 2, and much more

  • Was The PlayStation State of Play That Bad? | For The Players – The PopC PlayStation Podcast EP97

    On a lovely Tuesday morning we were all woken to the first ever PlayStation State of Play Showcase, where they would be sharing new and updated announcements for a handful of PlayStation and PSVR titles.

    However, it appears that many weren’t happy with what was shown. Many calling it lacklustre, slow, and something that didn;t even need to happen.

    But was it really that bad?

    Ryan and Josh break down all of the reveals and see where this PlayStation Direct stands.
