WHAT THE REBELS ARE PLAYING

Amanda – I’ve actually played a new game this week, woo! I downloaded Fallout 76 for Xbox Game Pass and you know what…it’s not half bad. It’s got the typical fallout bugs, but when you love the franchise as much as I do…I’m just happy to be back in the world TBH. Pick it up if you have Game Pass, I say. Why not?

Stacy – Playing Last of Us 2 still, onto Seattle Day 3 and have had some twists up to this point, but nothing that has changed my opinion on the game at all so far; it’s in my top game of the year list as of now and there’s nothing else close. However, I have not completed it yet and will have done so by the next episode! Promise!

GAMING NEWS

Another Amazon Game Delayed – First, they put Crucible back into closed beta, now New World is being pushed waaaaaaay back. It was due to release August 2020 (so just a couple weeks) but now it’s going to be spring 2021. That’s a shame for those who have already preordered.

Most Expensive Video Game Ever – Would you pay $114k for a game? What about for a sealed copy of Super Mario Bros? Well someone did. There wasn’t just one bidder either. Over 29 people bid on the game in Dallas, Texas to give it this eye-watering total.

UK & USA’s Most Fav Game During Lockdown – It’s so embarrassing. I don’t even want to say it. At least France has a proper shooter. Nope, our most popular game is Roblox. Yep. That game. Maybe the parents are letting it babysit their kids? I’m at a loss for words. We’re all a buncha casuals now.

Quickfire Game Tactics PT2

Last week we did Part 1 of Quickfire Game Tactics, so go back and listen to that if you haven’t. We covered action games, action-adventure games, and RPGs in that episode. This week we finish our list of genres. We talk about how we’d approach a big fight in each of these types of games (generally speaking). Start about halfway through the episode if you want to jump right to the main topic! The categories are:

Simulation games
Strategy games
Sport games
Puzzle games
