Rand(Nerds) Episode 275 - Genesis Alpha One

Welcome to Episode 275This podcast starts off a bit differently, with Skazz asking a question to Ram; Why do we play games?After discuss what sort of games we enjoy and why, we also talk about our gripes with modern gaming, spilling over into discuss about film series and what breaks our immersion.This then nicely moves on to what Ram has been playing; Genesis Alpha One (Deluxe Edition). Hoping it would scratch the same itch as Empyrion Galactic survival, unfortunately the game play is a bland and nondescript as the title with not much to keep his engagement We also discuss replaying the old theft games and if they still hold up today, our roles on a heist team, how aliens view us and Russia's most genius spy teamNotesStill one of the best space survival games, Empyrion Galactic survivalIf you want to make a film, make a film, don't create a game instead like the Callisto protocolWalk round a lot of boring brown rooms and corridors and try to escape in OutlastPossibly one of the worst name games of recent times, Genesis Alpha OneLooks like the next James Bond film will be set in Great Yarmouth We look forward to seeing you all on the next podcast live steam on the 25th September 2025, at 18:30 GMT+1.
