Super Gamekast

On this shortie episode, we talk primarily about our brief first moments with Starfield. And it is not pretty.

It's Labor Day Weekend, so we're kicking back and taking it easy! Bronson's playing World of Warcraft and Aaron's playing some World of Warcraft, so the first hour is mostly about WoW and FFXIV, but not before Jesse gives us some brief thoughts on the first four hours of Starfield! Beyond that, we talk about how people have been receiving Starfield's early reviews, Playstation Plus' partial price...

EA, master of good business decisions, saw Baldur's Gate 3's massive success and decided to fire 50 of their employees, including writers partially responsible for the writing of the original Baldur's Gate games.

The Xbox 360 store is going away for reasons that aren't clear and will leave a number of digital-only Xbox games unable to be purchased ever again.

The big conversation on gaming Twitter this week is about Baldur's Gate 3 and gamers' expectations of AAA games, and the hits and misfires that made up the discourse. We also talk about Overwatch 2's declining numbers, Disney Plus speedrunning becoming too expensive, Street Fighter 6 TMNT costumes costing WAAAY too much, and more!

Final Fantasy XIV has announced their new expansion Dawntrail!

We also cover Insomn...

The footage of Baldur's Gate 3 showing off sex with a (druid) bear went across the gaming internet, and resulted in an amazing number of pre-orders! Also, Xbox's fight with the FTC is finally over, and the Xbox/Activision deal is a go! We talk about Xbox's hopes for success with Starfield and Indiana Jones exclusive to Xbox and PC, Call of Duty being guaranteed to continuing being sold on Playstat...

Have you ever wished for sweet consensual sex with a bear? Baldur's Gate 3 has you covered! The gang also talks about the juicy leaked Sega PDF from the mid 90s, Street Fighter 6 making bank, and Capcom setting their sights on the next franchises to continue their scorching hot run, namely Onimusha and Mega Man!

The FTC is talking with both Xbox and Playstation regarding the Activision deal, and we get a whole slew statements from a number of people that help flesh out the state of things between the console giants. And we're going over all of it. Here's a taste: Xbox turned down the rights to Spider-Man for...not great reasons.

What are the top 100 games of all time? We decided to ask our community, as well as our friend communities, and see what we came up with! The results are...well, you'll just have to listen to find out. Off topic, but did you know people love Zelda? It's true!

Oh, and there's more, but this is the star of the show

BIG news this week as Redfall scores super low scores and Phil Spencer gives an interview to face the music and tell some big truths for Xbox. We talk both about our experiences with Redfall and Phil's comments and what they mean for the future of Xbox, as well as part 2 of Kotaku's latest drama, and more!

Waypoint got smoked last week, so we had a good chance to talk about the state of games journalism, if there's much left at this point. On a related point, we talk about Kotaku's approach in these times, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and the status of their PC release, the Microsoft and Activision/Blizzard deal getting shut down over cloud gaming of all things, and much more!

The Mario movie was fun! Sony's trying some weird stuff and unhappy about some Xbox stuff! Activision got sued AGAIN. Xbox and Halo are having their own problems! So is Amazon's Game Division!
