ATLUS has showed out once again in what has been a phenomenal roll for the company. With a 20+ minute showcase under our belts, Metaphor: ReFantazio is looking absolutely fantastic. More importantly, it's not just fantasy Persona, but aims to be much more and potentially far more complicated. The Dukes dissect this incredible looking JRPG, mull over what it means for Persona 6, as well as overstate the importance of Xbox having the marketing for this will be. Naturally, we continue to conversation on Fallout as we see the franchise continue to hit unbelievable metrics. Perhaps more shocking is that Fallout 76 has seen a tremendous bounceback unto itself with positivity beginning to surround the game for the first time since its Steam launch in 2020. Plus more on Starfield updates, game preservation, Kena: Bridge Of Spirits coming to Xbox, and much more!

    Here out of pocket has always meant that you're broke or you've lost money on something
  • @spacedovahkiin1364
    Man Bethesda needed this homerun with bases loaded, the Fallout love is on a all time high and you love to see it. Hopefully this gives Bethesda some or all the confidence back. Salute to the Dukes!

  • @Tatman2TheResQ
    Matty was absent for the episode before Sonic/GoW release, where the game is discussed. Didn't check elsewhere, but a little sus Matty!
  • @deez8060
    Dukes starting off with MMA Convo?!?! LETS GO
  • @spacechannelfiver
    Bought Jedi Survivor at launch on PC on the strength of the previous one, so it coming to Gamepass when they still haven't fixed it properly is a bit of a slap.

    Actually started to play FO76 on my PS5 after a few years of not touching it. But due to the show, it rekindled my love for Fallout.
  • @jonathantonkin7961
    Xbox showcase seems right for persona 6 not just cause of the colour it's been a long time
  • @poondo
    Luv yew guys! Much love
  • @kjer2540
    Sonic Generations is so damn good. I can’t wait for the remake. Don’t mess it up, SEGA.
  • @DanielJ-00
    In regard to Persona 6 I have a lot of faith. The team behind it is the team behind the Royal content and I’d argue that had higher highs than base P5. I highly doubt we’ll hear about it before Metaphor releases. Possibly TGA? But don’t jinx it guys! Watch there be the blue PlayStation banner right after a trailer full of green lol.

    Breaking News The Embracer Group spinoff Middle Earth & Friends is being further subdivided into two other entities, “Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends” and “Garfield & Friends”

    I think relationship stuff were really good in fire emblem three houses. You need to have strong bonds with your students and on top of that your student's bonds with each other is quite important. And it add lot's of depth to story, characters, lore and world building. You can learn lots of details about relationship and politics between houses from relationship between students. And the relationship stuff were integrated with gameplay loop so perfectly. Also as you increase your relationship with your students you care about them more and you try to keep them alive more. For Persona 5 it is so disconnected. Relationship and dungeon stuff are like two distinct games. Yes you get bonuses from your relationship status but you don't need really them. Persona fusion matters.

    I think once the appointment session had been completely closed and you left with the documents, they would have to ensure you didn't tamper with anything or trade with anyone else. Since you left with previously checked documents after having to reschedule, they'd have to give you a whole new block of time which was already filled. Sorry that happened to you though. When I'm desperately looking for anyone, I try to think of the least likely place after exhausting the most probable places. One time last year I lost my wallet...behind my PC. I thought I was being a spy with great security skills lol. Outsmarted myself.
