    We have yet another slower news week as there is not much to talk about but that lets us delve a bit deeper into any subject I bring up! As always I thank you for taking the time. Stellar Blade is out and reviews are pretty good but it seems the narrative is rather weak. Eiyuden Chronicles is out too. No Rest for the Wicked and Hades 2 are getting some early testing via early access for No Rest and a tech test for Hades 2 which will be quickly followed by early access for the game. Fallout as a franchise is gaining more popularity due to the show's success. And much more to discuss but if I may divert from the description a bit it feels so quiet out there I wonder if we are due for a major news story soon or not. Who knows but anyways thank you for stopping by and I will see you next week!

    Well we have some catching up to do so let's get into it. Dragon’s Dogma 2 has taken over the gaming sphere and I want to give my thoughts on my pretty deep experience with the game. Unfortunately there will be no Baldur’s Gate 3 DLC and that breaks my heart. Some new looks at Marvel 1943 and Dragon Ball Sparking Zero. Apple is being sued to break up their Apple Market. Assassin’s Creed Jade has been delayed a year although I am not sure if anyone even cares. Toys for Bob has been let go with an agreement with Microsoft. A small look at the all digital Xbox Series X. And for the main show let's talk about Gearbox breaking out of Embracer and Connie Booth has found a new working spot at EA. As always we end with Date Updates and What’s Queued Up. That is all for this week and I will be getting back to more Dragon’s Dogma and my life in general, thank you so much for watching and gifting your time and until next week!

  • Sweet Baby inc., Why Can't Anyone Report this Fairly? | Easy Achievers Ep.178

    Sweet Baby inc., Why Can't Anyone Report this Fairly? | Easy Achievers Ep.178
    Mar 15 2024
    Well that just happened *cue audience laughter*, forgive me as it has been a rather tense week as we will be discussing the Sweet Baby inc. Steam Page situation as many are dupping this event as if it's a sequel to a movie from a certain well known vastly overrated “culture” collision that happened prior so it is important to take the necessary time to talk about this. Now as this I am sure is sensitive to many out there I ask you enter this with an open mind and try to check your assumptions at the door so we can try and talk kindly and thoughtful about this. Although I do not think this will be a problem with anyone interacting with this video as I have only had incredible experiences with you, the achievers, I think it should be said as this video could go out to people who do not regularly listen. Honestly the news was relatively light and I wanted the majority of the video discussing Sweet Baby inc. so apologies if you were looking for a break from the “discourse”, I will see you next week (lol). Anyways I wanted to come at this with an open mind and hopefully I was able to coherently display both sides and clearly explain the situation. If you have any issues with my portrayal let me know in the comments and we will have a talk about it! As always and it's important for this subject matter I do not give out my thoughts expecting no feedback or recourse let me know your thoughts in the comments or tweet at me. Talk to you next week! TimeStamps 00:00:00 - Intro 00:02:37 - Remembering Akira Toryiama 00:04:19 - Star Wars Battlefront Collection is a mess 00:05:44 - Saber Interactive gets bought from a co-founder 00:07:34- Stellar Blade demo accidentally went live 00:08:35 - Episode Aigis will not be available to bought seperately 00:10:12 - Deviation Games closes 00:11:05 - What have you been playing? 00:15:55 - Rumor Roundup/Spiderman multiplayer leak 00:17:46 - Let's break down the Sweet Baby inc.

    Rooster Teeth Shutters | Easy Achievers Ep.177
    Mar 11 2024
    Well then, We have a slower news week than usual however I think this gives us a chance to dig a little deeper into the topics that stand before us. Some news on Remedy gaining the rights to Control. EA games canceled the long reported Star Wars FPS game coming from Respawn. Some light rumors this week but nothing too insane. As for the main show, Rooster Teeth has shuttered as Warner Bros. shut down the 21 year studio after many years of not running profits. We do a roundup on Xbox’s Third Party showcase and then end the show on a light date update and then whats queued up. I hope you enjoy the episode and let me know what you think about the show, my thoughts on the topics, and anything else in the comments or tweet at me. See you next week!

    PlayStation has a Spending Problem! | Easy Achievers Podcast Ep.176
    Feb 17 2024
    Emmett joins me again this week to discuss a HEAVY episode. We have some Sony financials to discuss, the Xbox business update, and a lot more. Hiroki Totoki, interim Head of PlayStation, has some straightforward and clear messaging about what he thinks about the PlayStation division. Xbox tells us how they are justifying going to a third party. And Switch 2 may have been delayed past this year. Finally we have some deep conversations around these topics like overspending in the games industry to the point many high profile games are afraid to start original and instead go for an adaption to help spike the initial sells and interest. Its funny I have barely touched on what is in the episode so I will leave you to watch and think about. Make sure, if you have the time and inclination, to leave a comment or talk to me on Twitter about your thoughts on the show and any disagreements you may have. Thank you for your time today and I will see you next week!
