GXG Season 4:3 Gaming News Update and D&D Extended Episode Tease
We are the Gen X Gamers Podcast
We cover weekly gaming news that is worth knowing that came out recently. In our Gaming Update episode we share a few current events for a minute each, and cover a couple larger news items with some commentary. Then we tease the upcoming extended podcast show on a specific topic related to gaming.
This week we cover the Bethesda (ZeniMax) acquisition by Xbox which is now finalized and immediately brought 20 Bethesda games to Xbox Game Pass and it was announced that we can expect Xbox/PC exclusives to come. There is a new hit that become a cult classic Supraland with its cartoony puzzles mixed with fantasy and a heatlhy dose of shooter and action. The world has missed Tiger Woods golf games, but with his rebound back into the spotlight he has just signed an exclusive game deal with 2K studios to bring his golf game franchise back to all systems. Alien the RPG (Role-Playing Game) has won a lot of awards and offers a unique pen and paper or virtual tabletop experience that manages to capture H. R. Giger's space horror feeling and a new Colonial Marine Operations Manual is just coming out. Germany is revamping its 20-year-old Youth Protection Act and considered banning loot boxes as a form of gambling or making games which include them 18+ only, but they went back on that and will probably require games to more clearly spell out that loot boxes and in-game purchases are included.
We also talk a little bit longer about the massive rise of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), which had its best year in 2020 by far in its 47 year history. Everybody is playing online amid the COVID-19 pandemic, whether by Roll20 or some other form. There are celebrities both new and old streaming their games with mass followings, and there are 3 new AAA games coming up including Dark Alliance which is set in Forgotten Realms and features Drizzt Do'urden and other R. A. Salvatore heroes in a 17+ action hack and slash adventure with no lack of gore. We are Generation X 40-something gamers who have been obsessed with gaming since childhood, but hopefully viewers of all ages will dig this program including Generation Y, Generation Z, Millenials, and even Boomers.
