¿SON REALMENTE NUESTROS LOS JUEGOS DIGITALES? & MATCHPOINT | SG 84
Episode notes
The episode debates what it means to buy digital video games and how far access rights extend when a platform or publisher removes content. Ubisoft’s case leads into discussion of server closures, online features and the availability of Assassin's Creed Liberation HD, Splinter Cell Blacklist and Space Junkers, as well as Steam’s responsibility and possible Epic Games Store or Uplay exclusives. Several releases and gaming experiences are also discussed. The Quarry is criticized for its decisions, quick-time-event deaths, lack of Steam Cloud and replay options. Guardians of the Galaxy is praised for its story, humor, characters and soundtrack. Matchpoint offers a satisfying, tactical tennis core, but its presentation, depth, animations and content are questioned, with some participants considering it underdeveloped. Starship Troopers is presented as an enjoyable real-time strategy game focused on troop micromanagement and satirical humor. Road of Death is regarded as a simple, inexpensive proposition. The program also reviews Skull & Bones, Hogwarts Legacy, Fable, Bloodlines 2, Elden Ring, Beyond Good and Evil 2, The Division and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
