Game Older Podcast

• Episode 48 - The WORST Gaming Genres | AI drama Again & Multiplayer vs Solo Gaming | Quiz + More!

  🎙️ Join Heather, Tom, Stu, Leon, and TommyT in this chaotic new episode of Game Older — the worst genres. From repetitive shooters to overcomplicated RPGs, debating which categories deserve to disappear and which still have hidden potential. Plus, Leon hosts this week’s quiz (yes, he actually remembered this time).🎮 What we’ve been playing: • Leon finished Ghost of Yōtai — calling it even better than Ghost of Tsushima — and shares a painful betrayal story from Arc Raiders. He also jumped into Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, describing it as a “Souls-like Scottish ghost-hunting RPG,”. • Stu has been juggling Battlefield 6, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and Outer Worlds 2, comparing their campaigns, skill-based matchmaking, and overall vibes — with plenty of rants along the way. He’s also loving indie hit Ball X Pit, calling it “Vampire Survivors meets brick breaker.” • TommyT wrapped up Luigi’s Mansion 3, got addicted to Stardew Valley co-op, and dived into Vampire Survivors Online. He’s also praising Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown as “Ubisoft’s best game since Black Flag,” spent hours on Kingdom Come 2: Legacy of the Forge DLC, and fell in love with the decision-based adventure Dispatch, featuring voice talent from Aaron Paul, Laura Bailey, and Jeffrey Wright. • Tom picked up Dead Rising 1 & 2 for a retro fix, then tested Where Winds Meet (a free-to-play Chinese RPG), the surprisingly addictive Racoin (a roguelike coin pusher), and the bullet-hell Bird Cage. He’s also slowly working through Final Fantasy VII Remake while planning to jump into Rebirth. • Heather has been deep into Arc Raiders, joined by Leon and theGebs on stream — loving the mix of tension and teamwork. She’s also explored The Simpsons map in Fortnite and picked up Final Vendetta Collector’s Edition at Game & Gear in North Wales.📦 Retro & hardware news:Heather’s pre-ordered the A1200 Mini, a full-sized Amiga remake with HDMI, USB, and 25 built-in classics — a dream come true for retro fans. Tom’s also waiting on another mystery box from Japan full of Mega Drive goodies.📰 In gaming news: • Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 sparks controversy for AI-generated artwork, catching the attention of U.S. politicians calling for AI regulation. • Players slam its always-online campaign — no checkpoints, multiplayer only and weird ass story ). • Leon leads a debate on single-player vs. multiplayer: surveys show 65% of U.S. gamers and 58% of U.K. gamers still prefer solo experiences. • Battlefield 6 continues to win fans, while Outer Worlds 2 and Call of Duty struggle with identity crises.💾 Full of betrayals, retro nostalgia, and heated takes on gaming genresStay till the end and play along with our gaming quiz — how many will you get correct?Timestamps:00:00:00 - Intro & what we've been playing00:41:48 - Gaming News 🗞️01:09:16 - New Games & Questions from Discord ⁉️01:20:17 - Main Topic : Worst Genre’s 🙈02:13:28 - Gaming quiz time!02:22:51 - Shoutouts and goodbye 👋Find all of our links here:Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/gameolder2024⁠⁠⁠Discord:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/VzmAnSA7xaTwitter/X: https://x.com/GameOlderPodYoutube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@GameOlder2024Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/game_older_podcast__/⁠⁠⁠Contact us: ⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠Discount codes and shout-outs:Bitmap Books 5% off all purchases: OLDER5⁠bitmapbooks.com⁠Extra Life Gaming Lounge, Sheffield:Quote "Game Older Podcast" for 5% off all items!Please don't forget to rate and review us wherever you listen, along with hitting the follow/subscribe button!
