Nintendo 3rd Party Feast and Mouse P.I vs Crimson Desert.

Nintendo are releasing a truck tone of game, March and April is getting packed with competition and Lies of P is still driving StreetRat_Atlas and I bonkers. This and so much more from us in the world of gaming. 0:00:00 - What we are playing. Alien vs Predator, Lies of P, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Nioh 2 1:13:00 - Nintendo Showcase Chat 1:34:20 - (Side note) Obsidian changing course 1:45:15 - The Value of certain DLC (Indian Jones vs Lies of P) 1:50:30 - March and April games, will Mouse P.I survive Crimson Desert 2:34:40 - Interesting Kingdom Hearts chatter.

Its a Genie in a Bottle

StreetRat talks 'RuneScape' and 'Pokémon Legends'. I share my experience with 'Styx - Master of Shadows', Kingdom Come Deliverance and Highguard. Lies of P is also brought up as we are both going through this Beautiful, yet at times frustrating game. With the announcement of Crimson Desert going gold, we highlight our thoughts and concerns on such a large scale open world and whether it will provide the depth of gameplay gamers are searching for. Finally, with the announcement of Googles Genie 3, we ponder on the potential death of creative endeavors. Does such tech provide too easy a solution to consumer entertainment and concept creation or is this another shallow tool with limited novelty.

Once Apon A Fable

Concerns are rising in StreetRat around the viability of triple A titles, specially when the cost of consumer tech is expected to increase exponentially over the next few years due to A.I Growth We debate whether there is a place for such high demanding rendered games when more people are less likely to afford the required computing to run these works of art. StreetRat_Atlas and I share our thoughts on the Microsoft showcase, along with a meaty discussion on our thoughts about the new Fable game from Playground games. I also go into my journey through 'Kingdom Come Deliverance' and StreetRat talks about 'Hytale' and his nostalgia trip in classic 'RuneScape'
