Easy Allies Podcast #140 - 11/28/18

Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony are not hardware makers. They are, but that's not the point. Sony doesn't say what are published in blu ray because on that side they are just manufacturers, Playstation is like Netflix or HBO, it's a platform. The platform needs a hardware, but the point is, they are a platform. PC manufacturers are like dvd makers, but Steam is a platform. GOG is a platform.

Miguel Pires Ramos

My first month as a podcast producer and i got hosed! Never giving you guys money again! Jk lolz, I just thought I would kindly mention that you forgot to add them in. No biggie

Jack Cullen

Not a correction or anything but the TMNT were just in a WB game - Injustice 2 - so Rocksteady could totally use them.

Derrick DesRoches

Hey Allies. I'm 80 hours into Fallout 76. I don't understand the hate many people seem to express for this game. I have run into some game bugs but most of them have been merely annoying. They don't detract much from my enjoyment of the game. I've only had one quest I couldn't complete and it didn't really bother me to set it aside for later. This game plays and feels very much like Fallout 4 to me. The most critical aspect, the exploration, is simply phenomenal.

Thorfkin

Yeah, I love the Oracle games, so happy to see someone defend them. I think Kyle is completely wrong about them being the point Zelda became "formulaic" with all the creative characters, dungeons, plot, items, and puzzles unique to the games. Sure, there's some overlap with past Zelda games, but there's also new things unique to the Oracle games, and linking the games together for a true final boss is pretty sweet.

MBUN

Seems you have a naturally high luck stat irl then, because hearing most others report being unable to finish quests and other annoying bugs on top of the other gripes I've heard, such as the world feeling really empty without nonrobotic NPCs. Even the people who seem to enjoy the game tend to share these complaints from what I've seen, but I haven't played 76 myself and don't plan to, so I can't speak personally on any of it one way or the other. Ben is working on a review, so maybe that'll shed some light for you when he's finished with that.

MBUN

Good episode, but the Oracles and Link's Awakening are the 3 best 2D Zeldas by a significant margin :) They leave the rest in the dust and its not even close.

Evan Pappas

I wanted to hear the rest of Damiani's Zelda talk. Great show. Thank you for making it!

PlainShane

Time for my joke no one cares about : Soneedlessly censors what Nintendon't! ha ha ha ha.

Raven Perez

On the censorship issue: please be aware that if games get changed for American markets this also affect us in continental Europe where we have a much more liberal culture especially in terms of sexuality. The Extreme Volleyball series is rated 12+ in countries here or rather was as because of American sensibilities these games will no longer be released in Europe. edit: have you guys already forgotten Bioshock? There you could kill children

erni

Really disappointed to see all the hate on 76. I understand people not liking it, but after 20 hours of play I think I may have encountered only one glitch, where an enemy was not walking but kind of gliding. Lol. Other than that no issues whatsoever. I am enjoying this game thoroughly and I don’t think I have ever been this immersed in a fall out world. I haven’t played too many new games this year but it is definitely in my GOTY pick and all I will get is people laughing at me. :(

Why aren't people calling for a Wonder Woman game? Just Wonder Woman, no other characters to play as, just her. She is tailor made for video games and I really hope that is what Rocksteady is working on. Wishful thinking, I know.

omg the ending killed me

Chris Georgaras

For Red Dead 2 Online, they explained clearly how it was released : - Tuesday : collector's edition - Wednesday : Launch day players - Thursday : 1st weekend players - Friday : everyone I don't see the problem in all of that, they gave advantage to people who played it the sooner.

Térence Caron

Just reply to the Love & Respect post Kyle makes each week

Cash

How do I submit characters?

Blood BROUGHT it this week! L&R!!

Shawn Doom

I hear in Franpan they make games where they drown children IN softening gel. How dastardly.

MBUN

the last 45 seconds of this week's podcast: ONE OF THE GREATS

jif52

I'm excited, but my expectations are in check. I need a Superman game though.

Mac

Need more bloodworth in shows

John

Baby, you gotta stick around to the VERY end

Samuel Cardwell

CORRECTION? Did the OR Wars end? I did not hear that All American Rejects song.

Because WB owns Movie and Video Game rights i'm pretty sure.

Xeltos

Elder scrolls and Star field will not look gorgeous. They are confirmed to run on the same engine as fallout 76.

Tom Smith

The Turtles WERE in Injustice 2 DLC, though, and that’s a WB game.
