2025-01-25 04:50:37 +0000 UTCRegarding the Developer Direct, Ninja Gaiden 4 being announced with it being published by Microsoft everywhere and co-developed by Team Ninja and Platinum Games was a great surprise and looks really good. Not expecting the game to look amazing as both studios are more about the combat and gameplay. Being day one on Game Pass Ultimate is an extra bonus for me this year that I wasn't expecting. Ninja Gaiden II Black being available now on Game Pass is a very pleasant and unexpected surprise. Will definitely play this as I haven't played a Ninja Gaiden game since NES. South of Midnight looks great and I love the art style. The combat and gameplay seems interesting and reminds me of Kena: Bridge of Spirits which for me is a good thing. Story and characters has a ton of promise. Good music too. Expedition 33 looks amazing and if Sandfall Interactive can execute on what they're doing, oh man, this game will be a great new IP this generation. As someone who completed Doom 2016 but dropped Eternal after maybe 30 minutes, im super hyped for The Dark Ages and Id Software giving the user so many gameplay options for difficulty, speed, etc. is what every development studio should do. Give players the option as to how they play the game as opposed to forcing me to play the way that you want me to play which for me personally, doesn't work 9 times out of 10. In general, the first half of 2025 is stacked for me - 1. Ninja Gaiden II Black (remake) 2. Avowed 3. Assassin's Creed Shadows 4. Atomfall 5. South of Midnight 6. Expedition 33 7. Doom: The Dark Ages Super hyped!!! Best of all, Microsoft is finally releasing games in the first half of the year which out of five years, this is only the second year where Microsoft is not ignoring the first half of the year while stacking the second half of the year. Very happy. :)

2025-01-25 00:53:20 +0000 UTCI 100% don't believe that Microsoft was going to shut down Xbox in 2021 because it doesn't make any logical sense. Microsoft goes from acquiring Bethesda legally in March 2021 to nah, we're shutting it down over the next six months to then starting negotiations with ABK in October 2022. 2017 absolutely but in 2021 with them being great that year game wise, no freaking way.

2025-01-24 22:41:08 +0000 UTC100% agree with Matty on Doom. I loved Eternal (the platforming included) more than 2016 actually. Dark Ages looks dope but I did have hesitation with the clips where the slayer was standing still and shooting. Stoked about the game for sure but I also have some hesitation with that aspect.

2025-01-24 16:38:09 +0000 UTCI do find it funny/interesting that the games I'm excited to play most on my PS5 Pro are Microsoft published since Sony is busy wasting money on cancelled games. Crazy times to be a console gamer but I'm for it Ninja Gaiden and Doom are so hype

2025-01-24 11:29:33 +0000 UTCYou guys dropping bars about PlayStation's live service disaster has to be in my top 5 moments of DD. I don't think I've ever nodded in agreement so many times during a segment of this show in the years I've been listening to it.
