I lost brain cells listening to Colin and Dustin discuss the legality of emulation. The short version is: Emulation is legal, Piracy is not. Nintendo has a studio dedicated to emulation (NERD). Those NSO games don't run natively on Switch. They're emulated.
Its not as simple as that, a lot of emulation of modern hardware requires you to do something illegal to get the emulator to work. The mechanic is put in place SPECIFICALLY to make it illegal. There is a difference between emulating NES, and a Nintendo Switch - one requires you to break encryption on licensed material, which does not fall under the safety of the previous case law that allowed Emulators to be considered legal. But if you disagree, go open your torrent and keep some Switch cryptographic keys constantly seeding, then advertise it, document, it, stream it, put it online, and @ Nintendo with all that. Cheers!
@@mangaas I was just trying to keep it short, but yes you are correct. I also encourage everyone to look into the SEGA v. Accolade and Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. v. Connectix Corp. cases to learn a little more about the legality of emulation. Many people (including Dustin it seems) are under the impression that Nintendo is the only one who wants to curb emulation, but history shows that Sony and SEGA's recklessness in the courtroom is what established the precedents that protect emulation today. I'd even argue that Sony's hesitance to go after emulation is the result of their previous legal blunders, but that's just my opinion. Cheers yourself!
I wonder if it has to do with the ubiquity of social media. Comment sections are a lax environment and I notice most people fail to use proper grammar and punctuation. People spend way more time on their phones reading and writing, maybe being a contributing factor? Other than that, our school systems are failing our youth. That’s all I can think of.
So wait a goddamn second. A HUMAN can shit on your property but its just a situation but a dog peeing on your lawn is an affront to God😂what the hell logic is this
There’s not much to update. The post has reached over 16K people in my area and no one came to clean up the poop. I shoveled it up this past weekend while I finished my landscaping.
@@MichaelMashpotato lmao I meant a follow up from Colin for justifying human poop over dog pee. Nice to have an update from you though. Sorry your hands are forever unclean. Stay strong ✊
@ lmao if someone left a dog turd on his lawn, he would make a custom yard sign and place it out front of his house with a photo of the dog and the owner on it 😂. I’m shocked he even read my write in and thanks dude. We have to keep on keeping on. Cleaning the poop was a pleasure compared to the 18 bags of leaves I had to fill. 😭
Horizon’s melee is pretty bland. Also, I think Colin’s putting too much faith in Sony by assuming Horizon Online is being designed with single players in mind too. He’s right that it’s an obvious thing to do given that Horizon’s fanbase is single-players. But I don’t hold my breath for Sony to do anything obvious lately.
If they're smart they'll have made it something like Genshin Impact, at least in terms of how the multiplayer works. Where, the game can be 99.5% played Solo, but can nearly all be played COOP, eith benefits are reasons to playing both ways.
My knee jerk reaction to a multiplayer Horizon game is no fucking way am I going to play it. I’ve beat both Horizon games, but almost out of spite. I only bought the second game because Sony has so few first party releases. I had fun with it, but I’m not a hardcore fan by any means. I can’t even justify the Zero Dawn $10 upgrade. So no, I’m not excited for this live service Horizon. I would have preferred the Last of Us multiplayer game. Edit: I still have some faith in Sony, but not as much as I did when this generation started.
Colin its ridiculous that you couldn't just hook up the pro to give us some feelings on the biggest playstation podcast in the world. I know yall are all aboutplay what you want and all but c'mon dude. On the other hand i appreciate you always picking up the slack from you cohosts when it comes to things more business oriented like the financials. Anyways still a great episode overall like always.
@BenRender I wouldn't jump to that conclusion just because he hasn't run to hook it up like a kid on Christmas morning. I'm like Colin in this regard, pretty much with every new piece of hardware. I have my PS5 Pro and I haven't hooked up for some of the reasons Colin has given and other reasons, except unlike Colin I have a backlog that includes PS5 Pro enhanced games. To be clear; when I bought my BASE PS5 I didn't instantly hook up. I can see into the future and I won't be instantly hooking up my PS6 either. It doesn't necessarily mean I'm not excited.
50:36 tells you how disconnected Colin is from even the average enthusiast gamer. Could anyone of you who would buy or bought the ps5 pro at the increased asking price, wouldn’t have had a arrival day plan on how they would get it set up and what games they would first test? I like Colin’s takes but not having played his ps5 pro yet and having no enthusiasm to do it really comes off as odd to me. Like why did you get it then?
He's dedicated to Playstation, he buys ALL of their electronics. He got the Portal and the VR Headset. Why wouldn't he get this? It's like asking a car enthusiast why they have more than 1 car. They're car enthusiasts.... it's what they do. It's not disconnected, it's just that most people aren't enthusiasts on this level, but some are. If I wasn't already into building PCs, I'd probably own PS stuff as well.
The Beatles are music royalty, and made countless innovations. That said, I can’t remember the last time I actually wanted to sit and listen to a Beatles song. I don’t think Yellow Submarine is objectively a good song. I love the band but they have their stinkers.
I'd have to agree with Chris on that one. The Beatles aren't a bad band but most of their songs are incredibly sanitized other than the last 2 albums they made. Very pop but not in a bad way. I certainly wouldn't compare them to modern disney though. That is a whole other story and they do not diserve that comparison.
Love you guys but pretty piss poor PS5 Pro coverage so far. I understand you guys don’t get products or games early but once a new console releases in the wild I would expect all 3 of you to have some opinions on it. Also I know Dustin brought up this games can still see pretty significant frame rate improvements without needing an actual ps5 pro patch. Metaphor runs at a locked 60 on pro but chugs on base ps5. So it makes no sense to leave it in the box. And I know Dustin is waiting on 30th anniversary so I’m not blaming him really just pretty anticlimactic waiting to hear thoughts after it’s been out for a week and this is what we get.
Agree. It’s reasonable to expect hands on impressions from a PlayStation podcast when a new console drops. I get the casual nature of the show. But this seems like a missed opportunity to weigh in while the issue’s still hot.
Im actually impressed to see what seems to be consensus in the comments. Ive felt for a long while that the show was too long because it wastes my time with poop stories and vague american politics for 2 hours before it gets to the genuinly insightful final hour of Playstation coverage. Playstation has had a slew of great diverse releases this year and a brand new console model. Fans are noticing the lack of entusiasm and thoroghness reviewing these products. Dustin is the most consistent playing and describing games. Colin plays the retro inspired JRPGs but waxes nostalgic comparing them to the glory days. Chris plays the shooters but, if its not Bungie, barely has an opinion beyond a brief gameplay/physics overview. Its time for a shift. The show needs to be refocused. More dedication to games discussion. When Colin does put his journo hat on and make some calls its riveting. Still love the show. I just find myself skipping the first half. My assumption is everybody across every show spreads the field too thin. Hope to see a return to form.
The data transfer process for PS5 Pro was super easy for me. Took about 2 hours to move all the games on my SSD, profile settings, and other media I had on my PS5. And then I just moved the additional SSD I had purchased from the old PS5 to the Pro. Had no problems and it was very nice!
Did you lose any save data in the transfer ? Like i did everything you did and for some reason the two current games i was playing back dated to 10/31 instead of 11/8

It’s literally the equivalent of saying “ call of duty is going to be a hit” like no fucking shit, my grandma could have told me College football was gonna be a hit
The show has felt like it’s been on autopilot for the last year or 2 years. Insert Chris’s sleeping habit and being hungry Insert Colin shittin on Xbox ( deserved )and whining about people on Twitter Dustin is doing well as always, but man, it has become painfully obvious Chris does this podcast for the consistent paycheque. I’m curious to hear others opinions, but idk I love this show, but I think criticism is also valid, does anyone else feel this way? I’m genuinely curious.
Brother it’s alright to be sick of listening to the same people for years. You start to overly notice their bad habits and routines. Maybe give it a break and who knows? You might not even miss it.
Also, where is all this creative output he's allegedly working on? Two hours writing? Fam, your last video on your main channel was a year ago, your side channel is just you streaming and your only other gig is you podcasting with your two room temp IQ friends circle jerking about how dumb you think Trump voters are... You're not doing anything.
Yeah he really needs to come up with something else to start the show with. Dude starts every show talking about waking up for what feels like a year straight.
@@DFTNSHEXGRMThank you! Yes and he constantly changes his mind about whether it's a good thing or not. He sounds dumb like he just says whatever sounds good in the conversation.
@@vince2251yeah. I don’t even listen to the entire shows but it seems like he doesn’t add much substance to it. Between the empty rambling, and inserting swears in odd places, to uninformed opinions on certain things, idk….
It’s weird to me that Colin can understand how putting Xbox exclusives on PlayStation hurts and devalues Xbox but when it comes to PlayStation bringing games to switch or other platforms he says he has no problem with it. I know it’s a slightly different type of gamer and if it’s older games it’s a little different but it will still have a deleterious effect over time. And with Xbox gone who do you think will be there direct competition? Nintendo. I think if you care about the overall long term health of PlayStation as a console manufacturer you should not want them putting games on other systems.
I’m (still) hoping for a complete re-recording of St Anger, to clean up the sound and edit the tracks (trim the fat) That would be their best record post Black Album
Playstation have to play carefully ? You mean careful like a 400 million dollar blackhole like concord, the money wasted on bungie or last of us online? 😅
Vanilla. Is. Not. Plain. You can get what is functionally plain ice cream from say Cold Stone as “sweet cream”. There’s vanilla yogurt and plain yogurt. Vanilla is a flavor; it’s just that it’s so expensive that when they finally invented artificial vanilla they put it in EVERYTHING and it’s become synonymous with no flavor cause it’s often the default or base flavor of things. But it’s definitely not plain by any reasonable definition
Colin’s explanation over the validity of circumventing timed paywalls makes zero sense. You’re stealing content you ain’t supposed to have at that moment Colin, just as the guys leaking Switch games early on the internet.
I agree completely that the PS2 and PS4 (also PS4 Pro) are beautifully designed, and that the Series X is as well. For Nintendo, I really love the designs of the Gamecube, Wii, Game Boy Pocket, GBA, and GBA SP.
Yeah, I feel like the Series X doesn't get enough love. On paper a Black Rectangle sounds plain, but in person it just feels like it melts into the back ground into a really cool way?
I didn´t really love de original PS2 because it looked massive to me. But the PS2 slim was beautiful and impressive. I know it won´t happen but I´d still like to see a mid generation redesign as extensive and efficient as that one.
Colin still having his PS5 pro in the box is outrageous and very on brand lol. Also , metaphor does benefit majorly - it now runs at a locked (or close to it) 60 frames and looks sharper.
Does that matter for a game like that? I personally could care less to have 60fps for a turn-based game that tells its narrative mostly thru still image type dialogues I love the game. I dont think I’ll love it anymore for having higher framers and sharper image if it’ll cost $800 to get those minor improvements
@ different people will have different priorities. A turn-based rpg in which majority of narrative is told via still images with texts and anime fmvs js not a game in which fps matters all that much to me. I care much more that the dungeon design and environmental puzzle design of Metaphor can be so dull and tedious. That should have bn better And the game’s graphics can be an eyesore at times But overall an amazing fantastic game. Its really weird imp to care about frames for a game like Metaphor
Call it what you want Colin but you are stealing because you're supposed to be paying for something currently. Saying it'll be free eventually is a morally made decision. It sounds like when he tried to explain how he did not glitch his way through Dead space lol
I absolutely ADORE Xenosaga! I still feel it was well ahead of its time in terms of overall scope (world building, character depth and dialogue, massive intriguing environments, hours of cutscenes, etc.) for a game released in early 2002! It still impresses me going back to play it. A huge budget, modernized remake would be INSANE!
I would pay ALL the money to get the original planned six episode series made with updated everything... Except the standard turn based combat. I don't want no xenoblade 2 nonsense all up in my saga.
I think what gets lost when people chime in on how they buy/spend on games. Is how many people are just frugal gamers. Whats hilarious is how Colin buys a PS5 Pro and had yet to open it. hahaha Im sure Sony loves it though. Fun episode sacred crew!
He's just a contrarian for the sake of it. It's a shtick that gets annoying after a while. I would love to hear honest, real opinions from Chris, but I don't think he's ever shared one.
I haven't heard many, if any people say they like the design of the PS5. Certainly most people who comment on the aesthetic say it is ugly. Sony had a chance with the slim redesign and again with the pro design to go away from what people hate, but the decided to double down
1:24:02 "Helldivers 2 can't be played alone, really, I mean you can, but it's not easy, and you're not gonna be and to play on a higher level than like 4 or 5, which is baby Helldivers." Oh my sweet, summer child. This gives me the impression that you're suffering from a skill issue.
I’m the listener who did the trade in at Main Level Games that was mentioned right at the very end.. Fantastic store and location, and a great guy running the place! I anticipated a greater interest in the Vita than what actually happened. Cleared out some inventory to pay for the Pro and the 30th Anniversary items.
If Colin had set up the pro he immediately would have a topic to rant about since some games (including Alan Wake 2) have shimmering issues still or even worse on pro
I'm definitely thrilled to not have wasted a penny on the PS5 pro. The PS5 still gives me everything I need, and that may partially be just from the games that I play. All the games that I love run at 60fps, it's not like this is the Xbox series where the majority of their first party games run with an embarrassing 30FPS cap. Plus I would need the drive and the stand, which would put it at around $900. And absolute joke, for such a tiny increase in visual fidelity.
2:07:42 I’m pretty sure he means he has never gone to the school library to sit down there and read a book, in the school library. I’m sure he has sat down and read a book, just not gone to the library to sit down there a read one, which he does make his character do… I know I did go to the school library to read a book at some stage, but I also was in high school in the early 90s.
Nothing wrong with some "plain" foods. Gimme dat Glazed Donut or Plain bagel with cream cheese, it's really the only one I want, the other styles and flavors are just a bonus.
Moved the NVME ssd i bought for base 5 to pro and everything was ready instantly. Strangely i didnt have to download any saves, either, just start a game and it loaded up the latest save. Easiest upgrade ever, just had to install NVME SSD and plug in external PS4 SSD.
Transferring data from PS5 to PS5 is very easy and doesn't take that long. Was also able to easily put my extra SSD in and my disc drive, took 30 minutes. Metaphor will still benefit quite a bit from the Pro's power.
Can’t say I’ve ever considered gaming a luxury hobby, either. Games are expensive, sure, but in the context of luxury, I’d say they’re practically free.
The write in about COD’s visual identity and tone is the same thing i’ve been thinking for years. I wish COD would let you uninstall all the cosmetics and replace it with ‘mil-sim’ style skins like the early COD games, it would also save drive space. Some of the early games did it well by giving your character a specific skin based on one of your perks.
If you have an additional ssd in your ps5 you can copy all your games to it, install it in the pro and as long as you log in with the same psn account they just work. Quickest and easiest way to transfer games over
I had never heard of the film Across the Universe and just had a listen to some of the covers... I can't even communicate how badly they butchered every Beatles song they attempted.
Master Chief Collection is pretty much the only Halo game I don't expect to go to Playstation at this point (it'd likely be a nightmare to port and they are done supporting it/are remaking CE).
That's a good point 🤔 but on the other hand it's also the one that makes the most sense to go to PS. Plus, they've made it work on PC at this point anyway, and the PS5 and Series Consoles are both pretty close to PCs now.
I legitimately enjoyed Anthem. I always wish it had gotten a 60fps update on consoles, and more support. The flying controls and the combat felt great.
2:58:10 Andrew Wilson is also destroying Respawn & Apex right now. Over-monetizing Apex instead of putting resources behind making long-term fixes for the game people have asked for. He's likely the reason EA decided to focus on Apex & NOT do a Titanfall 3. Andrew Wilson is a cancer & needs to go. He's a lot like former playstation exec Jim Ryan who wasn't a gamer but a business guy & it showed when he had takes like "nobody wants to play old games" & him making decisions like throwing all those resources behind games as a service, producing flops like Concord & future flops like fairgames & possibly even Marathon. Jim Ryan did enough damage to Sony that they got rid of him. EA is doing the same to Wilson.

Insert Colin shittin on Xbox ( deserved )and whining about people on Twitter
Dustin is doing well as always, but man, it has become painfully obvious Chris does this podcast for the consistent paycheque.
I’m curious to hear others opinions, but idk I love this show, but I think criticism is also valid, does anyone else feel this way? I’m genuinely curious.
Brother it’s alright to be sick of listening to the same people for years. You start to overly notice their bad habits and routines. Maybe give it a break and who knows? You might not even miss it.
I'm sorry but I super don't care about Chris' sleeping habits or whether he's enjoying or not enjoying waking up early.
Also, where is all this creative output he's allegedly working on? Two hours writing? Fam, your last video on your main channel was a year ago, your side channel is just you streaming and your only other gig is you podcasting with your two room temp IQ friends circle jerking about how dumb you think Trump voters are... You're not doing anything.
Yeah he really needs to come up with something else to start the show with. Dude starts every show talking about waking up for what feels like a year straight.
@@DFTNSHEXGRMThank you! Yes and he constantly changes his mind about whether it's a good thing or not. He sounds dumb like he just says whatever sounds good in the conversation.
@@vince2251yeah. I don’t even listen to the entire shows but it seems like he doesn’t add much substance to it. Between the empty rambling, and inserting swears in odd places, to uninformed opinions on certain things, idk….
@@RFNY315when he starts talking I ⏩
Seriously, pretty much no PS5 Pro impressions a week after launch... so unprofessional lol.
It’s weird to me that Colin can understand how putting Xbox exclusives on PlayStation hurts and devalues Xbox but when it comes to PlayStation bringing games to switch or other platforms he says he has no problem with it. I know it’s a slightly different type of gamer and if it’s older games it’s a little different but it will still have a deleterious effect over time. And with Xbox gone who do you think will be there direct competition? Nintendo.
I think if you care about the overall long term health of PlayStation as a console manufacturer you should not want them putting games on other systems.
It's a little different because ps has the mindshare of the people. And ps/Nintendo are different enough that they won't cannibalize each other.
Colin showing off the random Mega Man merch is one of the main reasons why i love this show.
When I was a teenager listening to St.Anger in the car. I couldn't take that drum anymore and chucked the cd out the window.
I was 25 when it released and it's what we call the trashcan album
@@deathproof8732 As a drummer I have no idea what they were thinking mixing the drums like that.
I’m (still) hoping for a complete re-recording of St Anger, to clean up the sound and edit the tracks (trim the fat)
That would be their best record post Black Album
I’m still baffled that WB haven’t made a Mortal Kombat Arkham-like game. That company are making all the wrong decisions
Highest viewed Sacred Symbols podcast are those where Xbox is the topic.😂
Timestamps after "what are we playing" are a little wonky
Gosh I love Colin And Dustin..but I literally can’t listen to this podcast anymore because of Chris. Probably a me problem but damn it’s a bummer.
Playstation have to play carefully ? You mean careful like a 400 million dollar blackhole like concord, the money wasted on bungie or last of us online? 😅
peanuts 🥜
They didn’t spend that much money on Concord, that was incorrect.
Vanilla. Is. Not. Plain. You can get what is functionally plain ice cream from say Cold Stone as “sweet cream”. There’s vanilla yogurt and plain yogurt. Vanilla is a flavor; it’s just that it’s so expensive that when they finally invented artificial vanilla they put it in EVERYTHING and it’s become synonymous with no flavor cause it’s often the default or base flavor of things. But it’s definitely not plain by any reasonable definition
Okay, will “basic” or “default” do?
Colin’s explanation over the validity of circumventing timed paywalls makes zero sense. You’re stealing content you ain’t supposed to have at that moment Colin, just as the guys leaking Switch games early on the internet.
Terrible Beatles take by Chris lol
Sacred cows
I agree completely that the PS2 and PS4 (also PS4 Pro) are beautifully designed, and that the Series X is as well.
For Nintendo, I really love the designs of the Gamecube, Wii, Game Boy Pocket, GBA, and GBA SP.
Yeah, I feel like the Series X doesn't get enough love. On paper a Black Rectangle sounds plain, but in person it just feels like it melts into the back ground into a really cool way?
@@alexlyster3459 I like the vent on top, looks cool
I didn´t really love de original PS2 because it looked massive to me. But the PS2 slim was beautiful and impressive. I know it won´t happen but I´d still like to see a mid generation redesign as extensive and efficient as that one.
Xbox One X takes the crown
Colin still having his PS5 pro in the box is outrageous and very on brand lol. Also , metaphor does benefit majorly - it now runs at a locked (or close to it) 60 frames and looks sharper.
Does that matter for a game like that? I personally could care less to have 60fps for a turn-based game that tells its narrative mostly thru still image type dialogues
I love the game. I dont think I’ll love it anymore for having higher framers and sharper image if it’ll cost $800 to get those minor improvements
@@solidkwonit doesn’t at all these dudes just like to shut down logic and consume next product.
@@solidkwon I don't care what game it is, anything lower than locked 60 fps is objectively terrible and we shouldn't be compromising in the year 2024.
@ different people will have different priorities. A turn-based rpg in which majority of narrative is told via still images with texts and anime fmvs js not a game in which fps matters all that much to me.
I care much more that the dungeon design and environmental puzzle design of Metaphor can be so dull and tedious.
That should have bn better
And the game’s graphics can be an eyesore at times
But overall an amazing fantastic game. Its really weird imp to care about frames for a game like Metaphor
@@theycallmeGUN he has anxiety and needs Xanax and weed to take it out and tell you all you should’ve built a PC instead, it’s ok
Call it what you want Colin but you are stealing because you're supposed to be paying for something currently. Saying it'll be free eventually is a morally made decision. It sounds like when he tried to explain how he did not glitch his way through Dead space lol
before 666, there will be a banger 420 episode.
Did Micah say something at 1:26:15?
Yea but I can't figure it out lol
I think she said it sucks
@@ADukesJustice "It sucks" 😂👌
Sacred historians: Is this the fist in-universe mention of Dustin's iconic gun? 30:54
I feel like no but it’s been a while for sure
Nope
This show needs an injection of energy or something new, its getting very tired/repetitive at this point
The thumbnail😂 OMFG🤣🤣🤣
I don't even like The Beatles and I was appalled by Chris' take. Jesus....
Sacred cows
When Chris said Undisputed "looks uhhhhhh… like shit" 😂😂😂
You're wrong about all emulation being illegal Colin. Sorry
I absolutely ADORE Xenosaga! I still feel it was well ahead of its time in terms of overall scope (world building, character depth and dialogue, massive intriguing environments, hours of cutscenes, etc.) for a game released in early 2002! It still impresses me going back to play it. A huge budget, modernized remake would be INSANE!
I would pay ALL the money to get the original planned six episode series made with updated everything... Except the standard turn based combat. I don't want no xenoblade 2 nonsense all up in my saga.
Now Insomniac is going to change Venoms face.
Thumbnail had me confused as hell for a second and then I got it
I think what gets lost when people chime in on how they buy/spend on games. Is how many people are just frugal gamers. Whats hilarious is how Colin buys a PS5 Pro and had yet to open it. hahaha Im sure Sony loves it though. Fun episode sacred crew!
Chris really thought his slight on the Beatles would land 😂
He's just a contrarian for the sake of it. It's a shtick that gets annoying after a while. I would love to hear honest, real opinions from Chris, but I don't think he's ever shared one.
I haven't heard many, if any people say they like the design of the PS5. Certainly most people who comment on the aesthetic say it is ugly. Sony had a chance with the slim redesign and again with the pro design to go away from what people hate, but the decided to double down
Making two different trophy lists for your new game expecting people to play both is really stupid. Just make one “good” trophy list for both
Hello my fellow Xboxes
You’re in the wrong neighborhood XBot.
1:24:02 "Helldivers 2 can't be played alone, really, I mean you can, but it's not easy, and you're not gonna be and to play on a higher level than like 4 or 5, which is baby Helldivers."
Oh my sweet, summer child. This gives me the impression that you're suffering from a skill issue.
The sci fi slop bit gave me the first genuine belly laugh I've had in a long time, thanks guys.
Top tier thumbnail Dustin
Dustin: “…good movie adaptations, like uncharted…”
Chris: 🤔🤐??
I’m the listener who did the trade in at Main Level Games that was mentioned right at the very end.. Fantastic store and location, and a great guy running the place!
I anticipated a greater interest in the Vita than what actually happened. Cleared out some inventory to pay for the Pro and the 30th Anniversary items.
If Colin had set up the pro he immediately would have a topic to rant about since some games (including Alan Wake 2) have shimmering issues still or even worse on pro
Sorry but PlayStation is going 3rd party
1:26:00 Micah coming in for the final approach on the Death Star.
I'm definitely thrilled to not have wasted a penny on the PS5 pro. The PS5 still gives me everything I need, and that may partially be just from the games that I play. All the games that I love run at 60fps, it's not like this is the Xbox series where the majority of their first party games run with an embarrassing 30FPS cap. Plus I would need the drive and the stand, which would put it at around $900. And absolute joke, for such a tiny increase in visual fidelity.
“I like your shirt…not the Evangelion shirt” 😂
If Halo MCC came out on PS with a fully updated physical release, i would definitely buy that
Nothing realer has been said than "As I am showering to get ready for work at 6:50AM-that makes me want to throw up."
No freaking way Chris has that Beatles take
12:24 ok Goku lol
18:37 lol you guys don't read enough of your comments
Let’s see that study by race
37:30 “splash damage” 😂 lmfao
“Welcome to defining duke! A podcast!”
Colin I have the same exact stomach issues and you're right about even going places because of it. Usually holding it in makes it even worse.
2:07:42 I’m pretty sure he means he has never gone to the school library to sit down there and read a book, in the school library.
I’m sure he has sat down and read a book, just not gone to the library to sit down there a read one, which he does make his character do…
I know I did go to the school library to read a book at some stage, but I also was in high school in the early 90s.
Often frustrates me how the crew read everything as literal as possible.
Currently watching this podcast on an Xbox 💚
Nothing wrong with some "plain" foods. Gimme dat Glazed Donut or Plain bagel with cream cheese, it's really the only one I want, the other styles and flavors are just a bonus.
That Beatles take is…. definitely something lol
Moved the NVME ssd i bought for base 5 to pro and everything was ready instantly. Strangely i didnt have to download any saves, either, just start a game and it loaded up the latest save. Easiest upgrade ever, just had to install NVME SSD and plug in external PS4 SSD.
Yeah, I was also confused how my saves were already there for those games when I did setup data transfer later on
@@SwordANDbored84 @chriscoleman7260 If you have PS+ , your saves Auto-Sync and will just show up on the new console when you open that game up
First season of Jericho was so fucking good!
Yeah, but the dude willingly goes by “Skeet” and I just can’t get past that.
Transferring data from PS5 to PS5 is very easy and doesn't take that long. Was also able to easily put my extra SSD in and my disc drive, took 30 minutes. Metaphor will still benefit quite a bit from the Pro's power.
"Slit flap hugs" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can’t say I’ve ever considered gaming a luxury hobby, either. Games are expensive, sure, but in the context of luxury, I’d say they’re practically free.
Just jumping in here to say best episode name ever! Love you guys!
Chris is spiraling. He’s worse than ever on this show. He might be secretly gay tbh.
Great thumbnail but the intro opened with ‘this is a PlayStation podcast’ what a missed opportunity smh
Shoutout to the fellow Lehigh Valley person who wrote in at the beginning. I thought I was hearing things when I heard WFMZ mentioned . Small world!
That was me 💩
Gotta love 69 news!!
That thumbnail is 🔥
The write in about COD’s visual identity and tone is the same thing i’ve been thinking for years. I wish COD would let you uninstall all the cosmetics and replace it with ‘mil-sim’ style skins like the early COD games, it would also save drive space. Some of the early games did it well by giving your character a specific skin based on one of your perks.
I am an Xbox
If you have an additional ssd in your ps5 you can copy all your games to it, install it in the pro and as long as you log in with the same psn account they just work. Quickest and easiest way to transfer games over
I had never heard of the film Across the Universe and just had a listen to some of the covers... I can't even communicate how badly they butchered every Beatles song they attempted.
3:38:52 the time has surely not passed. All the books in the series aren’t out yet, we have multiple tv shows coming, and a confirmed movie.
Only Xbox would pay Harrison Ford for his likeness then make it an FPS
Am I the only one that puts my system vertically?
Nah , mine was vertical from 2020 till last week when i replaced it with the pro, which is also vertical in my living room right now lol
Never once had my PS5 horizontal lol. Guess it depends on your setup, but vertical is perfect for me
@@Shrewdy1 ok good I’m not the only one 😆
Master Chief Collection is pretty much the only Halo game I don't expect to go to Playstation at this point (it'd likely be a nightmare to port and they are done supporting it/are remaking CE).
That's a good point 🤔 but on the other hand it's also the one that makes the most sense to go to PS. Plus, they've made it work on PC at this point anyway, and the PS5 and Series Consoles are both pretty close to PCs now.
I legitimately enjoyed Anthem. I always wish it had gotten a 60fps update on consoles, and more support. The flying controls and the combat felt great.
2:58:10 Andrew Wilson is also destroying Respawn & Apex right now. Over-monetizing Apex instead of putting resources behind making long-term fixes for the game people have asked for. He's likely the reason EA decided to focus on Apex & NOT do a Titanfall 3. Andrew Wilson is a cancer & needs to go. He's a lot like former playstation exec Jim Ryan who wasn't a gamer but a business guy & it showed when he had takes like "nobody wants to play old games" & him making decisions like throwing all those resources behind games as a service, producing flops like Concord & future flops like fairgames & possibly even Marathon. Jim Ryan did enough damage to Sony that they got rid of him. EA is doing the same to Wilson.
What's Chris' problem with metal slug tactics?
