Episode 99: The Red Dead Spoilercast
We came, we saw, we played through an eight hour epilogue. Jon and Ben discuss their experiences finishing one of the largest video game projects of all time. SPOILERS.
Far Cry 5’s Nihilism Examined
I barely noticed when the credits rolled after completing the final story mission in Far Cry 5. After nonsensically gunning down my former allies and reviving them during the game’s climactic battle, then driving through the flaming hellscape that was formerly Hope County, my next series of inputs was the repeated mashing of the escape key. Joseph Seed talked a good game about delivering his adherents to Eden. But I secured my own deliverance from the psychic apocalypse of the game’s ending by tapping a key while I looked down at my phone.
Episode 98: Red Dead Redemption 2
The game of the year has finally arrived in all of its cow-punching, cigar munching glory.
Episode 97: Rockstar Crunch-tacular
The boys discuss Rockstar crunch, old CRPGs (again), and the quality of life for game developers. Also Red Dead Redemption 2 hype.
Episode 96: Red Dead Bonanza Buck Cards
Red Dead Redemption 2 hype runs high while Ben and Jon discuss modern CRPGs and how accurately Rockstar will model horse testes.
