DISCLAIMER: We apologize in advance for the audio sounding a tad weird in places this week. Had a bit of technical difficulty with DJ's mic this week and Marcus did his best to salvage it.

This week in "What We've Been Playing": Marcus used the $15 PSN voucher to re-download Dragon Age Inqusition; Jordan used his to check out Battlefield 5 until he jumped back into Assassin's Creed: Odyssey for some demi-god goodness; and then DJ & Marcus share more wild stories (and gripes) from the Wild West of Red Dead Redemption 2 while Jordan looks down from his post game castle.

In gaming news: We talk about Shenmue 3 crowdfunding closing at over 7 million dollars; the new "discs-less" Xbox One; Super Smash Ultimate making pre-sale history; Rappers wanting Epic to run them pockets over the ongoing Fortnite dance scandal; and Crackdown 3's zero micro-transaction promise.

Instead of a culture topic, we talk about the travesty that is Fallout 76.
