Summary

This week, join Max Scoville, Jada Griffin, Josh Du and Mitchell Saltzman as they chat Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which is an excellent game despite its widespread technical issues and bugs at launch. We debate which lightsaber stance is superior, Crossguard or Dual Wield? What hairstyle is least stupid? Plus, Cal Kestis doesn’t exactly follow the Jedi Code, but maybe Survivor’s lack of morality system is why it’s so much fun. In other news, Mitchell interviewed FromSoftware devs about Armored Core 6, and we ponder how it’ll resonate with Dark Souls and Elden Ring fans. If you need a giant robot/mech game to keep you busy until Fires of Rubicon release date (August 25th) also recommend a pile of other giant mech games to help pass the time till Fires of Rubicon’s release date, like Titanfall 2. Jada and Mitchell went hands-on with Street Fighter 6 and have a lot of great things to say about the new beat-’em-up, story-based World Tour mode. Is it a Streetroidvania? Finally, we asked an AI to design Bloodborne 2’s boxart and tell us what it’s about, and it definitely sounds… interesting?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Galaxie Far Far away. We're going to be talking a little bit about Jedi survivor today.

0:42.1

It's a big, huge, massive game that just came out. We've all been kind of

0:45.2

dabbling with it. Some of us have played it all the way through. Some of us have

0:48.6

played a little bit of it and some of us are somewhere in the middle. But

0:51.4

there's plenty to talk about. They're planning to unpack. Also, want to sort of

talk a little bit about armored core six Street Fighter six. And then, I don't

0:59.6

know, maybe some of the crazy car related video game adaptations and the works. Maybe a

1:03.9

fun surprise involving Bloodborne. Who knows? Let's see what we can get to. But first,

1:18.6

what did you, what was your read on it? What do you think? You did all the preview. I mean,

1:21.1

I would say I would say it's a dang good Star Wars game. You know, I think the big conversation

1:27.8

about it is really the performance issues that a lot of people have been having, which yeah,

1:33.6

like it's a bummer. It definitely feels like it should be running better than it does. But,

1:39.3

you know, it's God. Respond is so good at creating like these, these singular scripted moments

1:46.6

of just like absolute insanity where you're running on walls, you're doing double jumps,

that I literally put down the controller when it was over, went into our Slack channel. It said,
