OPTIONAL SIDE QUEST

This week we discuss a genre of movie near and dear to our hearts, Kung Fu! Growing up, martial arts movies were personally some of the most influential, there was nothing more thrilling than watching the likes of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan on screen. We talk about what these movies mean to us, their influence on Hollywood action, and more! This turned out to be a bigger subject than anticipated, with part 2 to come! Enjoy. 

As multiplayer games like Fallout 76 and Anthem, from traditionally single player focused developers, get released to lukewarm critical and fan reactions we ask ourselves, are single player games making a comeback? With God of War, RDR2 and Spiderman only releasing last year, there has always been a market for the huge AAA single player game but with studios like EA and Bethesda wanting to replicate the Fortnite / FIFA ultimate team monetisation model to increased groans from the community, it seems that the demand for games that don’t ask you to invest months and years of your time are on the rise. We unpack this and get philosophical once again as we come up with some (I think) great points of view I hope you will find hard to disagree with. Enjoy!

This week Georgio gives his impressions having completed Sekiro before we get into video game difficulty settings vs accessibility. Should all games be accessible to everyone? Should the artistic vision be compromised? We unpack all this and more!

 

This week we discuss the state of play going into the final season of Game of Thrones. We discuss what might happen, what we’d like to see happen and who we’d like to see make it out of the show alive. Full spoilers for seasons 1-7.

This week we start off with our non spoiler review of Captain Marvel before getting into more spoilery talk about the film as well as what we hope, predict and anticipate for Avengers: Engame which is now less than a month away. Enjoy!

Josh returns to discuss how we feel about Kingdom Hearts 3 now that it has had time to sink in. We also discuss the series as a whole and where we think the series should progress from here to stay relevant, please long time fans, and be more accessible to new players.

 

With the success of the Batman Arkham Series and Spider-Man PS4, it got us thinking… what other licenses do we want to see come to current gen consoles? In this criminally under utilised area we pitch our game ideas for some of the most well known IP and how they could breath new life into this loot box and micro transaction filled gaming space we seem to find ourselves in.
