Podquisition Episode 180: Harold & Kumar Go To White Kratos
It's almost all God of War, but we throttle some Harry Potter in there somewhere.
Harry Potter And The Crock Of Shit (The Jimquisition)
Wow, you really do pay Warner Bros. or otherwise watch a helpless child get strangled. That's pretty much the perfect symbol for modern games.Let's see what one of the worst entertainment companies in the world has done with Harry Potter this time.
Why We Need Middle Shelf Games (The Jimquisition)
Nowadays it seems "AAA" publishers are giving us fewer games, and consequently fewer options. That's because they are.In today's all-or-nothing industry, the "middle shelf" game, the kind of game that has a budget but isn't mega mainstream, is a dying art.
The Good Life [Demo] - SWERY's Latest Silliness (Jimpressions)
Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/476090608/the-good-lifeSwery's photography-flavored murder mystery now has a demo, courtesy of its Kickstarter page. I really hope I get to see this game finished.
Come In Here (The Loose Boys)
Oh dear. A couple of boys get loose and don't talk about videogames.
Podquisition Episode 179: Welcome To POD
Jim Sterling sings the theme tune to make up for being unable to do the rest of the show.Laura and Gav therefore host POD, all of the podding without the 'quisitioning.
A Movie Boy Delay & Apology
Hi gang,So the Spin-off Doctors will be late again this time around. My recording equipment died on top of a lot of personal bullshit I'm dealing with. On a personal note, sorry for not putting out as many videos as I'm sure you're used to, there are both personal and business reasons for that, which I'll get into on a State of Sterling, though to give you a vague heads up, your ol...
The 100% Objective Review (The Jimquisition Remastered)
One from the vaults! The classic 100% Objective Review for Final Fantasy XIII gets some new clothes.
God Of War - Chill Dad Kratos & The Boy (Jimpressions)
Hanging out with a chill dad in Ye Olde Norse times.
Podquisition Episode 178: UBOS
The gang has to rely on USER GENERATED CONTENT and the Ultimate Book of Spells to make a lean news week into a fun podcast!
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Is A Successful Failure (The Jimquisition)
PUBG might have been a massive hit, but the behavior of the team behind it indicates it's a failure in one very important way.
Radical Heights - XTREEEEEME Early Access! (Jimpressions)
I guess rushing the game out got them a fair bit of commercial success, but creatively it's a dump so far.
Podquisition Episode 177: We're Now A PUBG Clone
We mentioned frying pans too many times, now our podcast copied PUBG!Elsewhere, we chat about Extinction, Gav's Warframe experience, and more Pokemon shenanigans. Also, some silliness about a loose-lipped NIS boss!
Extinction - It Stinks, Son! (Jimpressions)
This is an absolute horror show of a game and I cannot recommend anybody buy it or even accept it for free. Sod this Attack on Titan ripoff.
The Spin-off Doctors: Far Cry 5 - Inside Eden's Gate
Ubisoft does a wank for thirty minutes.
So Are "AAA" Loot Boxes Done? (The Jimquisition)
In 2017, the "AAA" game industry went all-in on loot boxes - microtransactions that emulate gambling to maximize ill-gotten gains.In 2018, new games aren't using them and old games are scrubbing them. Are they done in the mainstream business, or are companies just biding their time?
The State Of Sterling #2
Time for another round of updates and gibberish from your ol' pal Jim Sterling!
Podquisition Episode 176: Nintendo Switch Blight Town
We all know Dark Souls is coming to Nintendo Switch, but we also realized something this week... if Dark Souls is coming to Switch, so too is Blight Town.In addition to that horror, we talk more Far Cry 5, chat about Minit, and give Octopath Traveler some love.Also, Laura played Dark Souls remastered.
Minit - The Seconds Of Zelda (Jimpressions)
You play an off-brand Tamagotchi in an off-brand Zelda game. However, its clever puzzle conceit makes a world of difference.Store page: http://store.steampowered.com/app/609490/Minit/
Ubification (The Jimquisition)
Is Far Cry 5 good? I think so. The problem with Ubisoft games is you can't tell anymore, they're all the same.It's understandable when a sequel iterates on its predecessor, but Ubisoft is one publisher with MANY franchises all building off each other.It's making it hard to care, or at the very least view these games as anything other than fluff.
Podquisition Episode 175: Type O Piss Cassette
The gang gives Far Cry 5 a good going over, and some hot takes threaten to boil the abundant piss.
The Spin-off Doctors: Castlevania
Your movie boys hang out with Dracula on Netflix n' that.
Far Cry 5 - Deep Fried Testicle Festival (Jimpressions)
It's time to visit Hope County and do... pretty much the same thing you do in pretty much every "AAA" Ubisoft game.
Spin-off Doctors running late
Hi folks, I've been having a really bad run of technical difficulties lately, because technology apparently hates me and wishes me to throw things at walls. We'll have our podcast discussion of Castlevania up as soon as we can. Sorry about the delay. Jim.
Ten Worst Types Of DLC In History (The Jimquisition)
Everybody loves lists, especially people who say they don't. The Jimquisition this week roots through history's garbage to find the ten worst types of DLC in videogame history.At least until we think of ten more, then we can do another list. Lists are great!
Podquisition Episode 174: Nintendo's Cardboard Dildo
This week, the gang talks some more Kirby, chats about Sea of Thieves, and dabbles in movie chat.
Kirby Star Allies - Dededelightful (Jimpressions)
The Switch continues a hot streak as Kirby's latest sequel turns out to be good... because it's a Kirby game.
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom - Little King's Kuni (Jimpressions)
Developer: Level-5Publisher: Bandai Namco EntertainmentFormat: PS4Released: March 23, 2018Copy provided by publisherIt's time to check out Ni no Kuni II, a good game that sadly lives in the shadow of its excellent original.At least this one doesn't yell "NEATO!" every two minutes.
Game Not Included (The Jimquisition)
http://www.patreon.com/jimLet's talk about collector's editions, specifically the ones that aren't really collector's editions.You shouldn't be able to call a box of garbage an "edition" of anything, but welcome to the game industry, where Bethesda, EA, and Microsoft have been doing just that.
Podquisition Episode 173: Kirby's Valentines Vomit
Kirby does some loving sick as we discuss Kirby Star Allies, Ghost of a Tale, Ni no Kuni II, and how news media needs to clean up its own act before talking about violent videogames.
