Episode 7: The Completionists vs. The Game Hoppers
Welcome to the latest show from the Middle Aged Gaming podcast. The show where we try to give you everything you need to know from the past week without all the huss and fuss. Today we are going to be talking about the iPhone 12,a potential Nintendo Switch Pro, the PS5 breakdown and the Lab Zero firings. Lastly we will be chatting about how people play games, why some people finish them and why other’s don’t.
Not being an iPhone user but loving technology. The iPhone launched dropped right when the show went live so of course we had to talk about. Great screens, good CPU and 5G means the new generation of iPhones are going to be a big challenger in the mobile gaming market.
All pure speculation at the moment but if Nintendo did launch a Switch PRO, what would you want? What kind of features would you like to have? This was talked about on a previous show but Crian goes in depth here.
The PS5 breakdown was huge news last week so Adam being a huge PlayStation fan had to give us the breakdown about what went on in the video. If you don’t want to watch the whole thing. Please listen to this segment to hear the important details.
Lab Zero, the company behind Skullgirls and Indivisible recently fired all its employees. We get to hear what’s going on with the company and why they let go of their employees.
Crian’s Topic
Crian is a game hopper but he never was like that. Growing up his older brother implemented the rule that you could only play one game at one time. Almost 40 he changes games very often until he finds something that really gets his hooks in him. The last game was Mutant Year Zero which was an awesome x-com like game. He finished it a good two months ago and hasn’t finished anything else since.
Adam’s Topic
Adam gives us a comprehensive look at both sides of the coin so that Crian doesn’t have too much to say. Why do people finish games and why do people change games all the time.
