Retro Game Fix Video Game Podcasts

Let's talk real TV capabilities.

This week I discuss my impressions of the PS4 Back Button Controller Attachment, Sony games heading to PC, quantity of consoles sold being an outdated metric, and Microsoft's backward and forward compatibility stance.

This episode I discuss how absolutely ridiculous the "console wars" really are. From click bait headlines, to arguing over logos, to not understanding the "specs", to not researching what hardware is actually in the plastic box you are buying. The big box gaming media sites are not doing anyone any favors as they seem just as uninformed and are trying to capitalize on click bait.

This week an analyst got people hopes up for a 4k “Switch Pro.” Let’s talk realistically about what would be needed to make that happen.

On today’s episode I am going to explore reviewing games as a Fan vs. Critic, why I think game reviews are broken, and I provide some examples by converting Metacritic score to Rotten tomato’s.

Talking the Xbox Series X announcement and gamer's ridiculous reactions to everything. sdfsdf

Stadia is insane, how haven't they solved the internet infrastructure problems in the world. I'm bringing back reviews and have already written most of my Luigi's Mansion 3 review. Bethesda is taking advantage of me with a Fallout 76 subscription model. Blizzard needs to be reprimanded even after we cancelled them after they layoffs they had earlier this year.
