Funny that multple times as they were going through topics, I would be adding my two cents in my head, then Ryan would actually say exactly the same thoughts that I was thinking about... How Sony added written reviews to their user number, 1-5 reviews, something I have felt like should have been there for ages!! Then Ryan actually mentioned how Sony really needs to also add how long each user has actually played each game... because on Steam, that really helps me decide how much to even value each review. If a player has played less than an hour or something, then I generally don't even read their review/rant. But Ryan is a legit new full time cast member. Stoked on him being on the Spawn Cast so consistently as well doing this podcast as well.
The reason why The PS5 console are not keeping pace with PS4 is due to a lack of a price drop. sales spike when there is a permanent price drop. For PS5 to do as well as it has at its original price point is amazing. A permanent price drop would push PS5 console sales passed PS4, but I assume it would take a hit in revenue. Since PS5 is the default console anyway, Sony has no big reason to drop the price since people automatically play third party games on the console anyway.
Some managers are definitely like that. I worked at a retail store and got in trouble for following the rules. I wouldn't talk to the cashiers because that was a rule and I got in trouble for not talking to the cashiers
On the closing segment I remember back in 2013 I found a guy doing something similar, stumbled upon a playroom wherea dude was doing a full dj set livestream and ofc I do not remember his name. Would love to find their socials because he had some pretty great music choices !!
I agree the way Game Informer was closed was handled terribly. In “Secret Life of Walter Mitty” with Ben Stiller his company that makes Life magazine gets shut down but at least they were able to finish the current issue
54:00 any discussion about pricing and price drops is not going to be prescient unless it takes inflation into account. I'm no defender of Sony's myriad terrible practices but people need to realize that $500 today is NOT the same thing as $500 four years ago.
Even for games, the fact that they're still only charging $70 instead of adjusting for inflation, is why they have to rely on microtransactions, just price the game accordingly so you don't have to keep charging for years to come.
The reason none of the best features of PSVR2 are available on PC is cause they would need to be implemented at a software level. No PC headset has HDR, eye tracking or haptics. Eye tracking is a method of controlling so it would need to be programmed into the game, and the headset can’t add HDR to a game that doesn’t have it. Sony can’t promise those features on PC when none of the software supports it. I would be shocked if Sony doesn’t enable them once the next gen of PCVR units launch. Remember PSVR2 is a generation ahead of the current PC headsets
If Ryan is right and sony paid 3.5 billion to learn a very expensive lesson when it comes to live service, they they will consider it money well spent. They could have spent a lot more in the long run, so this might be the best option so they go back to making single player games, or at least more general multiplayer games like helldivers.
The word live service isn’t the problem. Nobody has time for this style of game aside from kids. We all got 30-40 game backlogs of great games to play.
"3.5 Billion Dollars.... Damn, that could have been (pause to think)... like 17 Last Of Us Part 2's!!" N god damn, with that perspective, Bungie has not only not really added too much value to PlayStation with Destiny being brought in as a first party... But to also have had Bungie be the reason that we are never going to play The Last Of Us Factions Online... What the fuck was Jimmothy Ryan even thinking. "Acquiring Bungie is going to be a much more valuable acquisition than the ABK purchase"...yeah, I dont think there was ever a point in time where even he thought that was even close to being true. (Always felt obvious to me, but being a year plus later, really makes it clear that anyone close to that project would know)
I wish we lived in the timeline where sony buys ready at dawn instead of firewalk and we get the order 2 instead of mega flop concord. Oh what a blessed timeline that must be xD
DAMN John said something that REALLY SUCKS!!! Ever since Concord was finally a known project/game (something more than a jiggly burger)... and we all realized this game jz going to bomb and not what anyone wants... At least personally, I was always hoping that the next game that Firewalk puts out will hopefully be something that is much better or something that actually interests me. But John reminded me how Concord's studio is not going to be moving onto something new anytime soon... shit! That feels like they should already abandon ship and start working on something else ASAP!! LoL
I wish gta 6 online would just be normal. I miss when gta online was just cars and guns. Maybe a tank or jet but that’s it. No flying bikes and futuristic crap, spawning military equipment. It became too much. I just want gta not Battlefield Miami
After having a handful of months go by after Factions being canceled... If Bungie got paid billions of dollars for the advice of, "Oh Naghty Dawg, my dude, you got yourself a pretty killer game here dude... ha hah get it.. Killer!? Haha Sorry, I cant help myself but say every Dad joke that comes to mknd when I am really stoned... haha but ya my guy... You do realize that you are going to have to keep working on this game after you release it right??? " Naughty Dog: "Uhhh yeah Bungie, it's a LIVE SERVICE game... You might wanna lay off the dabs before work if that is the advice you have for us." Bungie: "Woah Guy... You're killing my vibe bro! Sony wanted us to tell you how to make a game like Destiny 2 dude! Sheesh! Just saying Dawg!" Like for real though guys... who the fuck are we really kidding with this BS ass excuse from ND, "We just realized that if we put out Factions, that we would have to continue working on it for years to come. So with that in mind, we want to make other games so we are going to throw 4 years of work in the trash... but dont worry guys, we are going to have more of those single player games that you are love!" Dude you dont work on a game extensively and not realize a game plan for the after release period. Personally I thought part of why the game was taking so damn long was because they were stacking content for the post release period. To think that the thought of having to work on the game after to launch, to make content to continually sell players for years to come... kind of sounds like a No Shit thought. Not something that would get a project that is costing hundred n hundreds of thousands of dollars to just trash the project... I truly dont believe the leadership at ND would be caught completely flat footed on something like that LoL.
And yes Bungie is a stoner who looks and acts very similar to Spicoli... No reason why, just because their advice on GaS games feels to have been pointless and they really aren't showing too much real expertise on GaS games with Destiny 2 even.
Edit: For Visions of mana they were happy with Trials of mana remake before it hit 1 million sold so I guess it's a cheaper game with lower expectations. Can't stand main channel comment section when anything sony related is in the news. Always so toxic.
Sports games are usually the only game that comes to a platform once everyone else moves on. The PS2 lasted so long because it was still getting Madden and Soccer. The last game to be released on PS2 was in 2014. The ps3 kept getting Madden in 2016. So it’s not surprising here
Idc why people act like Sony buying Bungie is the worst thing ever. Are we just going to forget about all the studios Microsoft overpayed for just to shutter later?
With the incline of people getting shorter attention spans, getting games like TOTK and Rebirth where they allow so much at one time turns away so many gamers. Me included. I loved BOTW and Remake but the sequels were just way too much at one given time.
I’m on a different mindset. These two games are one of the best games I have experienced in the past few years. I had no issues putting 200 hours in Zelda and over 80 hours in Rebirth.
Truthfully this combo just does not work guys. Jon is a fantastic reporter on all things Nintendo, but we all know he has had PlayStation mental problems for like a decade so to have someone who genuinely loves PS with Nintendo Jon is just not working imo. Hope Mystic sticks to his own channel, and hope Jon stays in the Nintendo lane.
I recently played SH2 og and man that game is overrated imo. SH1 is much better, im looking forward to see if they fix some issues i have with it. Specifically some of the level designs, the overuse of pyramid head, and the horrible boss fights.

Great conversation!
Also. Those PSP god of war games absolutely slap. Some of my favourite of the whole franchise
ClickR3 made it to ClickE5

Hair plugs hair plugs
Love clickr3 good podcast best game UA-camrs keep it up

We got “last of us part 2s” as a unit of measure before GTA 6

The whole bungie situation is crazy. Hope those that got laid off are able to bounce back.
The pun tho 😂

People that don't get that it's software implementation are not very bright.

Just bought Order 1886 on Ebay for $6 and it was worth every penny. But for $60 I would of been PISSED
Love this
You should try to end the show with one of the system start up sounds
I need more!!
R3 #5 🥳🎉🎆🌊✌️
1:45:01 did John just swear
May I have the whole Destiny Campaign in one continuous offline game?

Oh yeah
I’ve tried to get into destiny 2. Picked up the expansions for free or super cheap, I had fun sometimes and I want to like it but I’m so confused lol
Hey don't sleep on Twisted Metal! It will suprise you. It's hilarious and definitely entertaining
I’m interested in silent hill 2 just not at 70. I rarely buy a game day 1 now that game prices have gotten so high.
timestamps guys, wdf. U both have these.
I wish we lived in the timeline where sony buys ready at dawn instead of firewalk and we get the order 2 instead of mega flop concord. Oh what a blessed timeline that must be xD
Like. Sure. The order has its issues. But I'd take a thousand The order 1886 over a single concord any day of the week.
As far as console sales goes, The Old Man Rich on Digital Foundry makes it seem like Europe is all broke as hell.
Im waiting for the complete collection of FF7 remake lol
DAMN John said something that REALLY SUCKS!!!

Doky doky is a wild game I've never played it but i watched etika play it back in the day wild game
Where TF are the timestamps?
Having TIMESTAMPS last episode was a one time thing huh. Smh
Just watch it all and like it...

Madden 2025 is on PS4.
It's a sports game so not that surprising
Sports games are usually the only game that comes to a platform once everyone else moves on. The PS2 lasted so long because it was still getting Madden and Soccer. The last game to be released on PS2 was in 2014.
The ps3 kept getting Madden in 2016. So it’s not surprising here
This is Jim Ryan's legacy...
The legacy of a profitable business

Why is there so many adds, literally every 5 mins
Probably cuz you don’t have UA-cam premium

Mystic says the ‘B’ word too much.
He almost never says it on his channel so it’s really weird to hear him say it so much hear.
At least his cursing isn’t as obnoxious and tryhard as RGT’s
i see this comment a lot on gaming podcasts, are people being offended by swear words?!
You going to cry about it? 😂
Are you gonna cry and need a diaper change? mystic doesn’t even say it that much
The podcast name doesn't make sense...even in the DualShock controller manual, it says you press L3/R3 (because they're buttons).
Do you remember when E3 was fun ?!
no
