You Can't Stop Entropy, So Why Even Try? | Sacred Symbols, Episode 311
It's getting crazy out there. Fresh off of E3 Lite comes a slew of new game announcements, more than we could possibly cover, nonetheless play. And this brings up a good point, one we burrow down on: Who's gonna be able to buy and play all of this stuff in an ecosystem dominated by vacuum-like powerhouses that leave little room for competition? Are we nearing a breaking point, where there are simply too many games seeking too few players spending too few dollars, even as the industry grows? Well, we're about to find out. The news this week is otherwise copious: Horizon LEGO Adventures is coming to PS5 and PC... and Nintendo Switch?! Mark Cerny gives a rare interview and provides some insight into PlayStation's thought processes. Black Ops 6, Slitterhead, Civilization VII, The Thing Remastered, Doom: The Dark Ages, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and so much more were announced. Sea of Thieves dominates the PlayStation Network, foretelling an obvious continuing migration of Xbox games to PS5. And much more! Then: Listener inquiries. Is Astro's Playroom teasing upcoming PlayStation announcements? How come publishers and developers are keeping specific release dates so close to their vests? Could anything get us excited about Assassin's Creed Shadows? Is Colin accidentally inhaling mind-altering chemicals while he cleans the shower?

If there's one thing that the Xbox Showcase taught us, it's that Xbox has a lot ready to release soon. Perhaps, even, too many! As Cog aptly puts it, Xbox has an abundance of riches and we're keen on seeing how they spread the wealth. Will Xbox go all in with a line up of Shattered Space, Black Ops 6, Avowed, Indy, and Starfield DLC? It's hard to tell as the team seems to be playing a wait and ...

    Colin thinks Elden Ring is inaccessible? It's probably the easiest Souls game to play, especially with the amount of "easy mode" mode builds you can make that trivialise bosses + coop + spirit summons. Also, not sure why he feels so strongly about the DLC having no trophies, why does it matter that much? It's probably from his perspective of being a trophy hunter but it felt like he played it off as something that everyone cares about.

You're appealing to a special pleading fallacy, because it is not happening to you. And an appeal to nature fallacy, because it can happen in nature. Plenty of bad things are harmful that are natural, even if it is lesser than a nuclear explosion, like a mass unaliving.

    Dagan......lol. I need to fill you in on something. Regarding people on the right not being stupid, but being “mis informed” or whatever you guys tried to say..... Most of the country who is on the right, are actually quite informed. And they are looking at the political left and saying YOU GUYS are mislead and misinformed. Think about it. Here’s some of what the political left thinks: Trump is some evil hitler (he’s not. And the guy loves the country, you can see countless examples going all the way back to the 80s. He’s not some horrible villain) Soft on crime, soft on border (seeing the effects on that. Blue cities with businesses being robbed out of existence, and Just this week in Maryland, a mother of 5 killed by an illegal who came in 2023 who was also a criminal from El Salvador) Little boys can become little girls (they can’t) Little kids should be taught lgbt in school (they shouldn’t. Kids aren’t sexual) Men can compete in woman’s sports (they shouldn’t) America is racist (it’s not, and white supremacy isn’t even a thing anymore. Racism exists on all sides and it’s the individuals. Look up the whole “stop Asian hate” Once we saw who was actually perpetrating that hate, all we heard was crickets) There’s plenty more examples. Do more research man. I know you said you can’t stomach news from the right, but Trump and the people he had, were ten times better than the people now. Looking at the past few years, how can this even be arguable lol. Check out other non cable news political stuff coming from the right.

      Exxon Valdez grounding site 30 years later. Lush forests, 19 of 24 impacted species recovered... oil is still just centimeters below the surface. Crude isn't the boogeyman people make it out to be. Of course, when birds land in it and some fluffy creatures swim through it, it messes with their feathers and fur negatively affecting thermal regulation. Dawn does the same thing in the opposite direction. The other concern is drinking it.

    • @VariantAEC
      @VariantAEC 6 годин тому

      What's really sad is Infinite has solid gameplay mechanics and a tried and tested gameplay loop. Yet Xbox didn't add new levels, enemies, co-op (which was *PROMISED* years before launch) and only recently added custom lobbies after saying the game's seasons are retired. 343i just fixed some of the graphics issues and squashed loads of bugs, patching some exploits, too and then said, 'That's all we're doing for our 10 year Halo live service game!' Which Xbox abandoned just after the games 2nd birthday. Yet this showcase is putting PS in its place second to Xbox or third to Nintendo (if these fans have a particular axe to grind against PS)... yet real gamers who see comments coming from Xbox fans and are telling them to chill. It's just all too fishy that there are so many hangers on for one below average showcase. This E3 season was really poor. Nintendo's conference is less than 15 hours away, while I don't expect it to change the current seasons' press conference standings. To say Xbox is the new market leader because of a single D- showcase (graded based on how this is expected to affect Xbox as a brand - even as a gamer I'd not even give this show a C, its D+ at best), which ultimately still only just showed us some stuff (most wasn't gameplay). I mean, that's totally unbelievable, and we all look stupid to not call out the fanboys.

      I watched it. The Xbox Showcase was mid. Lots of stuff not coming this year most not exclusive to Xbox consoles. Most of the stuff exclusive to Xbox, I (and most gamers) won't miss at all... How does this turn Xbox's fortunes around? It doesn't, and anyone who can parse this out sees how that is. If you think "Play it day one on Game Pass" will save Xbox... did you know I can play Xbox games on my phone via cloud streaming? No PC, and no Xbox required. This conference was mid for me and for most people. Loads of known Xbox fanboys. I've run into other my time on YT are in this comment section. I don't know all of them, you could be one for all I know. I'm clearly not a blind PS fanboy considering my real criticisms of the last PS SoP Astro Bot was literally the only game that caught my interest at all and that I will preorder on disc (closer to launch) and that didn't even bring that event out of a well-deserved F grade; it was a very poor showing. The Xbox Showcase was supposed to hype gamers up to play on Xbox and to entice gamers to switch to the Xbox brand. This did not do that for basically anyone, even for most of the people saying the Xbox Showcase was "great." That includes well-known Xbots. When the die-hard bots aren't even saying this,'Please breed me Xbox!' level conference isn't enough for them to suggest at least giving the console a shot... what does that tell you? It tells me they know they're lying. But when they do suggest that real gamers are telling them to calm down and basically suggesting this conference wasn't that good not even B tier.

      Yeah, that was me. I also gave the last SoP an F, but you ignored that. Funny how that works. This Xbox presser was mid. Most games are not coming this year or even next year and of the ones set to release this year the only one that looks like it's mainstream is Stalker 2. I didn't mention Indiana Jones because that doesn't have a date yet, Xbox just keeps saying 'this year.' Beyond that, there's MSFS which no one is even talking about (much hype there) Age of Mythology (a 20 year old game with new visuals in a genre that generally doesn't perform well sales wise on console - the real reason RTS games aren't on consoles), another CoD and Avowed (which most have stopped talking about showcasing how mid that game looks). Everyone is talking about the games like Expedition 33 (which no one knows anything about), Perfect Dark (which looks fine despite probably not being genuine gameplay; I suspect CGI made to look like gameplay), and of course Gears of War: E-day which was neither gameplay nor had a release window not even an expected year of release. This is yet another hurry-up and wait presser, but somehow, it's different and so much better? Explain why.

      You might have also noticed 3rd party and non-Xbox exclusives were not mentioned. Most of the showcase covered games going to PS (some might go to Switch too and I'm still ignoring PC, mostly, but I'll touch on that). Also, I remember people being upset and acting like PS is dead because a PC port of an existing PS5 game was shown. Meanwhile WoW's PC exclusive DLC being shown in the Xbox presser garnered absolutely zero fuss. Imagine that. It's also funny how the most recent SoP was bashed for not showing VR games when the prior SoP focused on VR games. "Gamers" making comments here obviously have their priorities all messed up. But I don't think they're even genuine gamers.

Xbox showcased games that we already knew were coming and still showed no actual gameplay for most of them including their most anticipated title for this year... and that's a B rating?

    What is with these idiotic comments?? Colin outright states multiple times that the Xbox showcase was really strong. He isn't knocking it down and acting as a fanboy. He only states that it doesn't change anything for Xbox nor for PS going forward. Xbox is still going multiplat, and PS doesn't need to compete with them. That's it... That's all he's saying.

    You can tell there are people in the comments who don't usually watch Sacred Symbols and just wanted to jump in on the conversation by checking their comment history, all of whom are either always trying to roast him or commenters on Defining Duke. Obviously Colin has biases, why else would he finish Forspoken? That game was pure trash. Anyway, oil spills are always and will always be a bad thing.

    I dont think i have ever seen this much cope in a video. I wouldve taken the L instead of sounding this out of touch, and ill informed (on Xbox at least). They really do live in a playstation fanboy bubble. Was a bit both funny and embarrassing to watch.

    The Xbox conference sucked lol. It was a bunch of games we already know are being made without solid release dates. WTF is there to be hyped about? marketing? People beg video games to market to them and then complain when games haven't come out as fast as they'd like. I'll play Doom, or the Starfield DLC day one because I like both games or franchises but everything else? Sorry, who cares about trailers. After Redfall as no one learned anything? We know Sony doesn't have things to show this year. THEY HAVE SAID SO ALL YEAR. They have said to not expect anything until next year. They've released a crap load in 4 years. Demon's Souls, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Astro's Playroom, Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, The Nioh Collection, Returnal, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, The Last of Us Part 1, Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Horizon call of the Mountain, Helldivers 2, Rise of the Ronin, Stellar Blade, and that's not including a long list of third party timed exclusives or games like Astro Bot that are coming this year. Yes, you can say some of those are remasters but a lot of new people are buying PS5s and remastering a game is going to get it more sales and attention over making it backwards compatible etc.

      Its literally insane that there are so many Xbox fanboys making delusional comments talking about how amazing this very mid showcase was. I'm pretty much convinced most of the comments under this video and many others are paid MS employees logging into their YT, ect. accounts hyping up this event like the second coming. MS had a terrible decade and just a few weeks ago they lied about the state of their entire business but this month they show a couple of CGI trailers and mostly fake gameplay with a couple real games in there announcing like 2 new games that no one knows what to think of and yet... *"XBOX IS SAVED DOWN WITH PLAYSTATION WHAT EVEN IS NINTENDO PCS ARE DEAD! THE GOD PHILLIP 'GAMING GOD GENIUS' SPENCER HAS BROUGHT-ETH THEE ONLY GAMES ANY REAL GAMER WILL EVER NEED AND ALL WILL COME DAY ONE TO GAME PASS! REJOICE, REJOICE! XBOX HAS COME TO SAVE ALL OF GAMING! NAY, ALL OF ENTERTAINMENT, NAY... ALL OF HUMANITY AND THE ENTIRETY OF THE UNIVERSE BOTH KNOWN AND UNKNOWN!!! ALL HAIL LORD SPENCER!!!"*

      Colin is correct, Xbox has no momentum. There are looming questions over Xbox even having a console division moving forward. Hardware sales are terrible. Xbox games trained not to buy games. Colin is right, you’re wrong

    ??? Dragon age origins could be played as a ARPG… it was barely a tactics game as there was no grid. The only tactics was the choice of controlling the player character and companions and positioning them and was completely optional. but the combat was in real time… is this a case of rose tinted nostalgia? Because I played both kotor and dragon age as ARPGs and I’d be absolutely pissed if they changed the game to a tactical turn based rpg like bg3 because that gameplay is an absolute snooze fest for me.

    Dustin is spot on with the Halo Infinite prediction. MCC likely won't happen with the rumored remake (and the fact that the game still has some issues that are often overlooked), but Infinite fits perfectly as the type of game they would maybe want to port over. As a fan of the series, I hope it happens.
