Episode notes

The episode opens with several game impressions: returning to Void Bastards ahead of Wild Bastards, Nexon’s free-to-play THE FIRST DESCENDANT, the demo for Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, and the closed beta for Battle Aces. Regarding Nexon’s game, they highlight its third-person combat, grappling-hook mobility, cooperation, progression, and MMO structure; they also point out technical issues, imbalances between characters, and monetization they perceive as aggressive.

The central debate focuses on trade-in plans for consoles, games, and controllers. They value the discounts and product reuse, but question whether some hardware upgrades are worthwhile. The conversation moves on to DualSense drift, the declining importance of physical media, and digital licenses.

In the news segment, they discuss Microsoft layoffs and a service outage that reopens the debate around license verification. They also cover the Assassin’s Creed Shadows controversy, a leak concerning Activision Blizzard classics on Game Pass, Star Wars Outlaws reaching Gold status, the Watch Dogs film, speculation around Elden Ring, the new Crazy Taxi, and Quest update 67.
