#124 Do we like hype cycles more than games?

This was recorded in a world before Silksong, so please excuse Chris' dunks on the Silksong community. He has since played 8 hours of it and thinks it's good. However, for years before it's release every gaming show would have the same meme. Where's Silksong? We've seen this with other games over time as well. Where's Half-Life 3? Where's Shenmue 3? What's Randy Pitchford doing on that bathroom floor? Sometimes we have to wonder, are we excited about the actual games, or are we just excited about being excited about games? Also in this episode, Moriarty tells us what PAX was like this year. MORE PLACES TO FIND USCrubscribe ► https://bit.ly/CrubcastGet the show early and get exclusive content at our Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/crubOur Crubcasts are recorded LIVE at https://www.twitch.tv/crub_official every Tuesday at 7pm Eastern, with EXCLUSIVE Pre- and Post-ShowsJoin our Discord ► https://crub.org/joinBlueSky ► https://bsky.app/profile/crub.orgCome join our Steam group ► https://steamcommunity.com/groups/crubclubPodcasts are available on Apple, Google, Spotify, and other platforms are available at ► https://crub.orgSHOW NOTESHere's the Pax Autocratica game that Moriarty mentions around 25:45 in:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1067360/Pax_Autocratica/TODAY'S CRUBCAST HOSTSChris: https://www.youtube.com/@MykonosFanMoriarty: https://www.youtube.com/@reallycoolTrav: https://www.youtube.com/@ThatTravGuyCHAPTERS00:00 We've kept you waiting...04:17 We may actually be close to Half-Life 3?16:31 Do we value hype cycles more than the games themselves?27:39 Moriarty wreaks havoc at Gearbox PAX booth (not clickbait)30:42 Gamers, we've gotta do better...hygiene it up!37:41 Overinvesting to play a game before it comes out soon after..39:58 You don't miss E3.
