SG 158 | Rise of the Ronin + ¿Xbox con Steam y Epic Store? & Actualidad
Episode notes
The episode opens with progress in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and a mission bug attributed to patch 1.02. The team then discusses the launch of Dragon's Dogma 2, its criticism over performance and optimization, and returns to its microtransactions, its initial single-save limitation, and the announced patches. The news section covers the possibility of future Xbox consoles opening up to Steam and Epic Games Store, along with a possible cheaper all-digital Xbox Series X and the debate over the console's identity.
They also review Alan Wake 2's exclusivity on Epic Games Store, the decline of physical video game shops, and news about Marvel Rivals, Screenbound, Gearbox, Mass Effect 4, Stellar Blade, CD Projekt Red, and the possible delay of Grand Theft Auto VI. The main segment is devoted to Rise of the Ronin: its district-based open world, historical setting, choices, combat with weapons and styles, stealth, loot, and customization are detailed. The assessment highlights its fluidity, art, and combat, but questions its 1080p resolution and conservative visual presentation. The recommendation is positive, especially for players looking for samurai themes and demanding combat, although waiting for a discount is suggested.
