Delicious in Dungeon is just amazing. I've finished all 24 episodes now. The show is about cooking and is funny but the story is also serious and very mature. Plenty of gore and death. Great animation and English dub is fantastic.
@@hihosilver1234 hmm... good question. If you have zero affinity for the anime art style or you cringe at the sight of anime in general, maybe not. It's just so fascinating the way they cook up every monster they kill. Very unique.
I can't even put into words how horrible the idea of mixing Banjo with other Xbox franchises is. The reason people are nostalgic for the franchise is its charm, which primarily comes from its art style and music. You can't just mix in other franchises without affecting those two aspects. The idea of turning it into a co-op game where the second player controls Kazooie is just as bad. It's a single-player game, and you already control both characters. That's the whole point of the franchise. Seriously, when I hear Xbox fans talking about Banjo-Kazooie, I just hope Microsoft never ever revives the franchise. If you don't understand why a franchise is beloved to begin with, please don't even try to bring it back.
THIS. Every time Rand brings up that idea, I just think "'Noooooooo!" xD Imagine if Sony bought Halo and made a new game and said, "Hello fellow Halo fans, look at what we did! We brought back Halo and you play as Master Chief. You know, that dude with the helmet that we all love so much. We had this genius idea that instead of exploring alien worlds, human colonies, and space stations, you can now go to the world of Jak and Daxter or Horizon Zero Dawn. Isn't that awesome?" I gave Nuts & Bolts the benefit of the doubt, but it was a massive disappointment. Many years have passed since then, and I don't think they have a single studio now that could make a new game. The only thing that could potentially work is a 1:1 remake.

In relation to the write in about switching from console to PC. I couldn't agree more with that guy. His comments about being able to just sit down and play is so accurate and the "Faff" about pc gaming being more complicated is fully blown out of proportion. I made the switch from Xbox to pc back in February. I play on the sofa with a TV connected to the pc. Once the pc is booted, I hold the Xbox buttons down on my series pro controller and Steam big picture mode boots straight away and then I just play. The complications of PC gaming is something I just have only ever heard about and not experienced in the last year of playing and it's a little frustrating seeing this tech barrier to entry always being pushed when it's just not the case these days.
It's kind of refreshing that Blooper admits it's made "sh*tty games" and believes that they are done making them. Instead of the usual capping or blaming reviews or gamers or whatever. Sometimes it just takes the right partner and/or project to get on the right track.
I think the PS7 (or PS8 gen if they really push against it) wil be a PC custom device. Microsoft should really be working on ways to make windows more friendly as a custom OS for those devices that could use compatibility with Windows (to prevent something like Linux from becoming more used because of Steam devices). Imit doesn't really matter to me if it was on Linux but Microsoft as a company should be paying close attention to that or risk a partial shift in the future.
A banjo game outsourced to Nintendo or Playtonic.. releasing on Nintendo's platforms and Xbox/PC at same time, would at least get massive hype online. There's a lot of Nintendo fans that aren't banjo boys per se, but would absolutely play it.
As soon as the Steam Deck was acceptable with how it works with games and settings it opened the flood gates of acceptability of settings tweaking. This will be the approach to Xbox Hybrid approach.
I hope we get a new Banjo game and it releases on Switch and Xbox and PC and sells 8+ million copies so I can come back here and laugh at Rand cor ever doubting Banjo.
Rand if you're going to do low carb please make sure you include a good amount of animal fats. It's essential to a healthy keto lifestyle. Dr. Ken Berry here on UA-cam is a great source of information on the topic.
Shawn Layden needs to get off the internet there's tons of creativity in Game Pass there's tons of double-a games in Game Pass there's tons of Indie Games in game pass this guy is having a meltdown because he's not in the industry anymore he needs to get off the internet he has no clue what the f*** he's talking about Game Pass breeds creativity we clearly see that and I even see still creativity in AAA games constantly
I am pretty sure the whole banjo and kazooie thing came about when ps5 released rachet and clank rift apart. I think what people really want is that AAA pixar like experience with amazing voice acting. A simple platformer action game for kids that also dads can play. People thought that xbox could use the banjo and kazooie ip to deliver that experience along with a bit of nostalgia. I doubt a mere banjo and kazooie remake is what people want. or there is only a very niche of people that really want that.
The Starfield wrap sold well and sold out as will this one.. cloud is fine for the Cod campaign ..cloud is fine for zombies ..and you can play multiplayer on the cloud it's just not as Snappy
@@hihosilver1234 Competition for what? The Playstation? The PS5 is almost as bad and they're struggling as well. The industry as a whole does not care about Microsoft nor are they a relevant competitor anymore. Xbox could quit the market tomorrow and nothing would change. Other players in the industry would just buy the studios and keep releasing the games on all platforms just like Microsoft does already.
Some UA-camrs prior to release of Stalker 2, will say game of the year, once it releases, they'll play for an hour, realise it's too hard, then never touch again.
Avoweds 3rd person mode isnt complete.. thats why it got delayed. They arnt going to force it out with only 1st person mode because they wont sell nearly as many copys.
Astro bot didnt change anything yall gotta stop giving ps credit for nothing. 3d platformers never went away they justmeed more of them that are big names
@@ronburgundy3023 link? I remember it coming in second but that was the uk and fell off fast plus ps not giving out numbers which they normally do when a game is doing well and the media keeps comparing it to other games that didn't sell well.
Souls games are not hard when it's not from software they aren't really hard... I think people just use that excuse not to play a game cuz they're lazy
What exactly has Craig Duncan done to be running all of Xbox game studios???? When he took over Rare he literally gave an interview with eurogamer stating that Rare is pretty much going to be a service based studio from now on. He’s literally had the studio working on Sea of Thieves for YEARS!!!!!! sure the game became a big success for them but they haven’t done anything afterwards. Everwild been in development hell for several years now.

Where’s the timestamp guy

Fired?
According to Mat Piscatella Astrobot was #2 for September and the 25th best selling game of 2024.
The question about Forza Motorsport is a complete LIE, it is way better now, certainly needs more updates but to say it’s trash is complete nonsense.

If it's pc/console hybrid needs to work like a console. Playing games without any errors! Without having to do anything.
As val best gun in cod!
Jez, u got me stoked about Stalker man. Its now my number one anticipated game. Thanks for the pod guys, its literally the only thing i can listen to.

You realize Xbox failing is a bad thing for the industry right? No competition is bad, plain and simple.

There is no PVP in Souls extractions games they are PVE only people need to learn that as well... those games are not PVP
No PVP in dark souls?
Astro bot didnt change anything yall gotta stop giving ps credit for nothing. 3d platformers never went away they justmeed more of them that are big names
Astrobot after all the hype, when it released did nothing, if it had sold well, PlayStation would shout out the numbers, they always do.
It fell off the charts pretty fast.
It topped charts in a very busy month of September and it's the highest rated game of the year.
