Dialogue Options-a Video Games Podcast

Greetings listeners!On this week's episode we've got a healthy serving of Quest Log, including Joel talking a little more about his time with Hi-Fi Rush and fills us in about how he's finding Need For Speed: Unbound and Rogue Legacy 2. Meanwhile Kyran has been having a blast playing Fire Emblem Engage to the point where he can look past some of the shortcomings he is finding with story and characters.We round out the show with a short Bonus Round where we speculate (again) about what the future might hold for E3 2023 after a new report dropped from IGN about the big three (Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony) are likely to be absent from the convention's return to having an in-person show.This was a classic Dialogue Options episode in the sense that it's just Joel and Kyran but we also had some technical difficulties with our call whilst we recorded, hopefully most of the major issues are ironed out but you might catch delayed responses occasionally.If you want to reach out to us feel free to hi

Greetings listeners!We are following up last week's episode where we took a list at some of the 'AAA' games releasing between now and June with an episode dedicated entirely to a somewhat curated list of indies that we are excited to see more of (or ideally play more of) in 2023.From our astronomical hype for games such as Sea of Stars, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and Hades 2 to more fresh picks such as Season: A Letter to the Future, Dredge, and Broken Roads. This is only a small list of quality indie games that look set to release in the next 12 months, but there are so many quality titles on the way.

Greetings listeners! We're back with another episode of the podcast and once again we are joined by Jesse to work through our stacked Quest Log. Jesse, Joel, and Kyran all talk about their time with Marvel Snap, an incredibly addictive mobile/PC card game that captured us all with how accessible it is and talk about some our favourite cards and battlefields before touching on what we'd like to see added to the game going forward. Kyran offers his early impressions on a new survival-horror game, Signalis, and talks about its ability to tap into his fond memories of the early days of franchises like Resident Evil and Silent Hill with a bonus dose of his opinion on the Shadow of Rose DLC for Resident Evil Village. Meanwhile Joel has been checking out Bayonetta 3 and tells about the newest instalment in the little franchise that could.

Greetings listeners! We're finally back having survived PAX and gotten ourselves back on schedule, this episode took a bit to get going because we are actually a part of the Story Mode family now so we took some time to make sure our episodes wouldn't double up on content. The result is a glorious jam packed Quest Log episode where Joel and Kyran are joined by Jesse to talk about the list of games they've been playing. Joel has spent some time with Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost and Overwatch 2, whilst Kyran has played through Observation and Tunic in their entirety, and Jesse has sampled Scorn and begun his journey in Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope! We had a great time recording this and urge you to check out Story Mode's range of content (which we are now happy to be a part of) including their new YouTube channel that you should make sure you are subscribed to. As always thanks for listening and we'll catch you all next time. You can get in touch with us using any of the links bel

Greetings listeners! On this week's Quest Log Joel's talks about the new rhythm shooter now available on Game Pass, Metal Hellsinger, and Kyran talks about a cute monochrome photography game, Toem, and Capcom's action horror blockbuster, Resident Evil 5.  Meanwhile in our Bonus Round we try to touch on some of the big stories that have surfaced over the last couple of weeks (and boy has there been a lot). We talk a little about the State of the Play and Nintendo Direct presentations before digging into the Ryu Ga Gotoku Summit where a handful of new Yakuza/Like a Dragon games were announced. Thanks for listening and look forward to a PAX episode (probably one before, during and after) in the coming weeks!

Greetings listeners! We're back with another episode (slightly delayed by a couple of days so we could be joined by our guest!) This week Jesse from Story Mode Gaming joins us to break down Massive Monster's 2022 smash hit, Cult of the Lamb. We talk about the game generally before leaping headfirst into a slightly more spoiler-filled territory, turns out a game about running a cult filled with some cute animal folk, building up a home for them, and slaying ancient Gods ends up being a pretty good time. SOME LIGHT CULT OF THE LAMB SPOILERS START AT 0:29:20 AND END BY 0:53:45 Then we move into a new instalment of Dope or Nope where we break down the recent Ubisoft Forward, touching on topics like Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, Just Dance, and a deluge of Assassin's Creed announcements (some exciting, some perplexing) As always thank you for your support and don't forget to go and check out Story Mode Gaming at the links below (plus use our links if you want to reach out to us as well!)

Greetings listeners, We're back with another episode that we tastefully pushed back a week to cover two massive events! First up we've got a Dope or Nope where Kyran pulls up a list of pretty much every game that showed up in some form in Geoff Keighley's Gamescom Opening Night Live showcase, there's some dopes, there's some nopes, then there's some stuff that Kyran just left out intentionally. We then wrap up the show with a Bonus Round where we talk about the Destiny showcase where Bungie threw back the curtain on Lightfall, the game's forthcoming expansion dropping in early 2023. We also take some time to talk about how exciting some of the changes coming to the game in the future are. As always thank you for listening! We've got a Quest Log in the pipeline where we'll finally talk about Cult of the Lamb, so keep an eye out for that episode in the future. You can hit us up using the links below!

Greetings listeners! We're back with a Dope or Nope filled episode of the Dialogue Options Podcast. This week we talk about the recently announced release dates for both God of War: Ragnarok and Bayonetta 3, Elden Ring's incredible sales, EA's Skate game releasing as a free-to-play service game, and much more.

Greetings listeners! We're back with another episode and finally touching upon our Quest Log as the dust of the Summer Game Fest settles around us. Plenty of games come up in this episode, but mostly we talk about TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, Jurassic World Evolution 2's BioSyn expansion, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, Xenoblade Chronicles (1 + 2) and a few other smaller games that come up naturally. We also do a quick lightning round thumbs up or thumbs down for the latest Nintendo Direct Mini that finally confirmed that the Persona series (or at least 3, 4 and 5) are finally coming to Nintendo's platform. News will probably be slim picking for the next few weeks now we are on the road to Gamescom, so expect more Quest Log oriented episodes in the future.

Greetings listeners! We're back with another special Summer (Winter?) Games Fest episode of the show, this time covering the Xbox + Bethesda showcase.  In what looked and felt the most like an E3 presentation of old we were given a long list of games to digest, with Xbox promising that the majority of them should be out within the next 12 months. They had first party stuff to show like Redfall, Forza Motorsport, and Starfield plus a bunch of interesting third party announcements to spice things up like Hollow Knight: Silksong and the first official Xbox release for Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal. Due to it being such a packed show we've put together another Dope or Nope episode to help make the news a bit easier to tackle, but if there's anything we should have given more time to we'd love to hear from you!

Greetings listeners! We're back with a strange mid-week episode of the show to celebrate the newest Keigh-3 (E3 replacement) with 2022's Summer Game Fest kick off. It was a show that some surprises (some ruined by leaks) and plenty of quality Geoff Keighly time. We saw new trailers for Street Fighter 6, Neon White, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, and The Last of Us Part 1, so join us as we attempt to Dope or Nope our way through the show to uncover what we enjoyed about it. We'll have another episode this week covering the Xbox + Bethesda showcase and another next week we'll try to bring the best of the rest into the spotlight.

Greetings listeners, It's time for another episode of the Dialogue Options Podcast and this time we break down the latest State of Play from PlayStation and the official kick off for 2022's Summer (Winter for Australians I guess?) Game Fest. It turns out Sony is getting better at these showcases as this was easily one of their strongest showings. Resident Evil 4 Remake is officially announced, we got confirmation that the Callisto Protocol is releasing this December, Final Fantasy XVI's release has slipped into 2023, plus a bunch of neat smaller announcements. Look forward to hearing from us next week as we sift through the deluge of events that will be going down over the weekend.

Greetings listeners! We're back with a new episode and this time Jesse Munro (from the Story Mode Gaming Podcast) helps Joel and Kyran sift through a pretty packed list of discussion points in a new Dope or Nope. Warner Bros. officially revealed the debut trailer for Multiversus, Microsoft and Bethesda have officially delayed both Starfield and Redfall, Jeff Grubb has heard that the long rumoured Last of Us Remake is potentially dropping this holiday season, plus we've got a healthy dose of the newest Silent Hill rumours that point to potentially three games being in development. We also wrap up with a discussion about the new PlayStation Plus being rolled out next month now that Sony has been generous to provide us with Australian pricing and a list of games that should be available when the service launches later in June. Special thanks to Jesse for joining us for this chaos, we strongly recommend you go and check out Story Mode Gaming if you don't already, you may even find us popping up again

Greetings listeners! We're back with a new episode of the show, which happens to include an absolutely packed grab bag Quest Log segment as Joel talks to us about his time with several different games including Rogue Legacy 1, Loot River, Citizen Sleeper, and completing Elden Ring; meanwhile Kyran has been competing in Destiny 2's Guardian Games and attempting to save everyone's souls in an abandoned Tokyo in Ghostwire Tokyo. Over in the Bonus Round we talk about Square Enix's massive decision to sell off some of their Western studios (Crystal Dynamics and Eidos) to Embracer Group for USD$300 million, plus we find some time to talk about the latset Final Fantasy XVI updates and Xbox / Summer Game Fest locking in their June dates as we head into what we once knew as E3 season.

Greetings listeners, We're back with a new episode of the show! We unfortunately had to delay our latest episode by a week or so as Kyran unfortunately ended up catching the spicy cough and having to isolate for a solid week. The good news is that he finally had some time whilst he was locked up in his room to play some games that aren't Elden Ring. On the Quest Log this week Joel talks a little bit about his progress with Elden Ring (and Kyran tries to keep his contributions to a minimum) as well as reliving his childhood with last year's Hot Wheels racing game, meanwhile Kyran finally gets a chance to talk about Triangle Strategy and the ultimate palette cleanser in the form of Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Over in this week's Dope or Nope we have a lot of stuff to talk about, some of it recent and some of it a few weeks old but still relevant to what we talk about on this show. The oldest news is related to E3 2022 being cancelled in all forms (but really who was surprised about that) and i
