Support my work on Patreon- https://patreon.com/realdavejackson Discord, Socials and more- https://linktr.ee/talesfromthebacklog Join Dave and special guest IdolismJ as they tackle Drakengard (Cavia, Square Enix, 2003). Drakengard has a reputation for being bad, unplayable, interesting and edgelordy to a certain extent, and we can confirm that some, but not all of those, are correct. Drakengard challenges the player in ways that most games don't, driving you crazy alongside the protagonist. Whether the effect is intentional or accidental, Drakengard certainly left an impression on us. Listen in to find out more, and as always, no spoilers for a while!

The console wars of the later '80s and early '90s is the stuff of nostalgia legend. Sega and Nintendo duking it out for video game dominance. While the Genesis/Mega Drive vs the SNES is remembered the most fondly from that era there were other consoles that went head to head as well.... Handheld consoles... But they all had their lunch money stolen by Nintendo still. Womp womp. However, even in losing to Nintendo's Game Boy there is still a lot you can learn and appreciate about the "loser" handhelds of that era. On this episode of Still Loading I am joined by Gen Moonen from the Fun and Games Podcast to talk about the Sega Game Gear. In this episode we dive much deeper than this console's battery life (woof 5 hours on 6 AAs). Gen and I talk about why this system is better than people give it credit for, what it did well and what it (obviously) didn't do well and what there still is to explore on the system.

Die Wunschliste platzt bald aus allen Nähten, der Backlog nimmt langsam ein ganzes Zimmer ein, und die liebsten Klassiker wollen auch mal wieder gespielt werden: Da kann die Wahl, welches Spiel wir als Nächstes zocken wollen, beinahe in Stress ausarten. Wie sollen wir uns da bloß entscheiden?Mittlerweile gibt es schließlich nicht nur unzählige gute Titel, es kommen auch ständig neue dazu. Die Kollegen Carlo Siebenhüner, Matthias Dammes und Viktor Eippert tauschen sich zusammen mit Host Annika Menzel darüber aus, wie sich zum Beispiel die tagesaktuelle Stimmung, der (virtuelle) Stapel an ungespielten Games und Abosysteme wie der Game Pass auf ihre Entscheidungen auswirken.Der PC Games Podcast - der offizielle Videospielpodcast der PC Games - erscheint seit über einem Jahrzehnt regelmäßig und liefert dabei wöchentlich gleich mehrere Talks zum riesigen Thema Videospiele.Unser Moderationsteam, Michi Grünwald und Annika Menzel, deckt dabei etliche Bereiche ab: Review-Gespräche und Previews zu brandaktuellen Games, nostalgische Rückblicke, Reports, Interviews und vieles mehr.

Es ist vermutlich die Frage aller Fragen in der Videospiele-Branche: Was ist denn nun wichtiger - eine interessante Story oder doch besonderes Gameplay? In Folge 205 des PC Games Podcast gehen wir diesem Thema auf den Grund und diskutieren über die Pros und Contras der jeweiligen Meinung. Schnallt euch also an, denn in der aktuellen Ausgabe gibt es die volle Dröhnung von subjektiven Einschätzungen!Wir haben uns für faire Verhältnisse ausgeglichen aufgestellt: Moderator Michi und Tim sind im Team Story, während Stefan und Lars eher gutes Gameplay vorziehen. Ihr habt von Tim und Lars noch nie etwas gehört? Das kann gut sein, deswegen stellen wir euch in der Folge zunächst unsere beiden PCG-Neuzugänge vor.Bevor wir zum Hauptthema der Ausgabe kommen, stellt das Quartett außerdem Crimson Desert ins Rampenlicht. Um das Action-Adventure entbrennen derzeit schließlich etliche Diskussionen. Manche halten das Spiel für ein Meisterwerk, andere schreckt die nicht gerade angenehme Zugänglichkeit direkt ab. Wir verraten euch ausgiebig, was wir vom Titel halten.Beim Höhepunkt des Podcasts rund um das Thema "Story oder Gameplay" bemerkt ihr recht schnell, dass auch wir uns nicht immer einig sind. Die jeweiligen Teams setzen sich für ihre Meinung ein, während die anderen beiden Redakteure versuchen, ihren eigenen Standpunkt klarzumachen. Da bleiben nicht einmal die Blockbuster Elden Ring und Red Dead Redemption 2 verschont.Wie sieht es denn bei euch aus? Ist euch Gameplay wichtiger, oder werdet ihr lieber von einer tollen Story unterhalten? Lasst es uns doch in den Kommentaren wissen. Verratet uns in dem Zusammenhang auch gerne euer Lieblingsspiel, damit wir einen Eindruck davon bekommen. Jetzt wünschen wir euch noch viel Spaß beim Anhören der aktuellen Folge!Der PC Games Podcast - der offizielle Videospielpodcast der PC Games - erscheint seit über einem Jahrzehnt regelmäßig und liefert dabei wöchentlich gleich mehrere Talks zum riesigen Thema Videospiele.Unser Moderationsteam, Michi Grünwald und Annika Menzel, deckt dabei etliche Bereiche ab: Review-Gespräche und Previews zu brandaktuellen Games, nostalgische Rückblicke, Reports, Interviews und vieles mehr.
