Frog and snacks discuss the success of monster hunter world shortly after launch, while other console MMOs have struggled to maintain player bases and relevance. What these games can learn from MHW and what MHW can learn from them are all brought up
The boys discuss the possibility of a vehicular combat revival in the wake of the news of the new H1Z1 game mode. Many of the games during the genre's heyday are brought up, titles like Twisted Metal, Road Rash, and Cel Damage.
Snacks finally gives the people his assessment of FFXII, specifically the Gambit system and his thoughts on why it didn't mesh with his play style. Frog offers his insights as to the personality types that this system of micromanagement appeals to, and the boys FINALLY mention Dream Daddy on the podcast.
the boys tackle some difficult concepts surrounding the recent slew of racy behavior by a few prominent Twitch and YouTube personalities. What rights do they have? Who is responsible for moderation? What are the motivations for these platforms to censor their creators? Get deep with us in this week's episode!
The boys go over the history of the Dynasty Warriors and the life of the Musou genre, including the myriad spinoffs and reskinned versions. A weird trip down the Omega Force highway on this week's ep, for sure.
Frog and Snacks get into a philosophical dive about getting a game at launch. The benefits of staying behind for a little bit vs. hopping on board right away are discussed, as well as lots of compliments to Frog by his cohost.
Frog and Snacks go over last week's Nintendo Direct, and today's Nintendo announcement regarding Nintendo Labo, which is sort of like the baby box they have in Finland, we think. Either way, the boys are excited.
Frog recounts his trip to MAGFest 2018, described as "the place where you let your freak flag fly", and then the boys go over the following feature on US Gamer (http://www.usgamer.net/articles/the-rise-and-fall-of-ea-sports-big-told-by-the-creator-of-ssx) because of how germane it is to the hosts. Monster Hunter World is coming in hot with an Adopt-A-Hunter program, which the boys endorse.
Frog recounts his experience watching The Last Jedi before going into the 2018 predictions. What will Nintendo release in 2018? PS vs. XBOX revisited, and the state of PC gaming in 2018 are all covered in this week's episode
