Defining Duke, Episode 198 | That Was... Something... - Our Reaction To Xbox's 2024 Partner Preview
Added 2024-10-17 21:41:40 +0000 UTCNo, you're not imagining it! We have been getting a LOT of Xbox showcases as of late. Just weeks removed from their Tokyo Game Show panel and they have returned once more with a Partner Preview that ran for almost thirty minutes. Before that was Gamescom and before THAT was their massive summer show. Joining the Dukes are LSM's very own Gene Park and Bradley Ellis to discuss all the announcements and gameplay (or lack thereof) during the Partner Preview. Did it deliver like prior Xbox shows or was it a bit of a nothing burger? Naturally, we get into that. We also discuss Xbox Game Studios' new lead as well as rounding out our latest criticism of Bethesda, Metaphor's impressive sales, Destiny Rising, and the future of Xbox's streaming tech!

2024-10-23 19:14:49 +0000 UTCI just finished the hospital in Silent Hill 2 and the next area is fucking relentless 😂. I’m glad I was able to horde 19 syringes and 28 medicine bottles because I am using them more then ever right now.

2024-10-23 16:48:35 +0000 UTCI’m really behind on episodes because of the Mets. I’ve been listening to NY sports radio for the last few weeks. Shout out the Rico Brogna podcast with Evan Roberts. I’m really bummed the Mets lost but I am hopeful for the future. I wish we would have started Winker over JD games 3-4 but what’s done is done. I don’t think it will take 9 years to make it back to the NLCS again. In 2016 I bought a 15 game season plan and had a hard time making it to games because I live in Pennsylvania now. I was wondering if we could set up a LSM meet up on opening day next year for the Mets. We can celebrate together. I would be even better willing to grab the tickets for us. I’ll touch base about this next spring. But until the LFGM. 🙌

2024-10-23 14:57:55 +0000 UTCI was just excited he was on the episode is all. It would work anyways tbh, DD is alr lowkey the general gaming news show on LSM with an Xbox focus

2024-10-22 19:14:14 +0000 UTCSilent hill stops being scary once I kill all the enemies in a location. Then it’s just running around smacking doors

2024-10-22 14:23:17 +0000 UTCI think it's pretty wild and goofy how Matty thinks it's been a bad year for games. I and many I know have been absolutely overwhelmed with peak all year. Astrobot, rebirth, erdtree and metaphor alone are generational.

2024-10-21 00:28:34 +0000 UTCThat would be a total waste of Brad’s talent. I’m a big fan of Matty and Cog but at this point this podcast is a charity to Xbox because there’s literally NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT.

2024-10-19 15:32:34 +0000 UTCMy favourite part was when he said it was #21 and then said “seeing it in the top 20…” 🤣

2024-10-19 15:31:45 +0000 UTCCringe comment you could do better than that my friend. Like maybe a more logical rebuttal - because there isn’t one. ☝️

2024-10-19 03:23:50 +0000 UTCFuck yeah for Brad on the dukes
Bartevious
2024-10-18 16:43:54 +0000 UTC#DDMilkCarton sums it up nicely. Cog missing on the segment, Metaphor missing sales on Xbox, the Mets about to go missing once the Dodgers kill them.

Guns vs Kittens
2024-10-18 16:04:19 +0000 UTCI think they moved up yakuza honestly to avoid monster hunter and not AC shadows. Wilds is gunna be a nuke

2024-10-18 15:35:35 +0000 UTCI mean there are games that come out on Mac too....you really walking into this argument with the amount of devs skipping or not prioritizing Xbox?

2024-10-18 15:27:48 +0000 UTCCog defending metaphor being number 20 best sellling game on Xbox is hilarious..

2024-10-18 14:19:20 +0000 UTC🙄 If games didn’t sell on Xbox, no developers or publishers would support it. It’s going to be like any other platform: certain games sell well on it, and certain games don’t. Anyone who’s not a Game Pass subscriber on Xbox hasn’t been trained to stop purchasing. They’re still a ‘regular’ consumer.

2024-10-18 12:38:32 +0000 UTCFor real. I was Xbox 360 over PS3 but after Xbox One then Series X their dedication to their own platform when downhill. I’m not a fan of subscriptions or the “play anywhere with a screen” model. I’m a dedicated console player and PlayStation too that ball and ran with it after PS4 so I changed sides and now it’s over with.
The Devmeister
2024-10-18 11:58:51 +0000 UTCSolid show for how they pitched it. But more importantly, good to see the Hog Leg canon abbreviation continues to be used

2024-10-18 07:25:25 +0000 UTC360 was glorious

2024-10-18 02:58:27 +0000 UTCI went back to Xbox recently because of this pod Matty and Cog. I have limited gaming time and my long catalog of games spanning from the 360 days were waiting for me. Thanks for always puttin on such a positive and cool show. We need more content with a good vibe, especially these days

2024-10-18 01:27:20 +0000 UTCI say this because it’s ridiculous that Xbox fans literally refuse to buy games in their platform of choice and support it. Xbox trained its gamers to expect shit for free. On PlayStation if a game comes out day 1 I want I have zero hesitation to buy it full price day 1. It’s garbage on the green side hahahaha

2024-10-17 22:55:30 +0000 UTCXbox is THE box still
Robbie Agnew
2024-10-17 22:43:22 +0000 UTCI instantly thought of Matty and Cog when I saw the Black Ops 6 console wrap. The wrap guy took your joking too seriously lol
