Ep 9 (T) - JRPGs: Anime, Swords, and Commentary About Society
Warning: Foul language. Listeners 18+ recommended.In this episode, I go crazy for JRPGs, since so many have been coming out lately that I just gotta get my hands on! This episode is quite topical, as I discuss all of the franchises that I really like from this genre and why I like them. I also list out what are the 7 qualities I think a game needs to even be considered a JRPG, so if you're curious what those are, go ahead and give this episode a listen!Beginning and Ending Links:Beg: https://youtu.be/__CRWE-L45k - Symbolism - Electro-LightEnd: https://youtu.be/V42iRj0Toq0 - Running - Sekai Follow me on social media, or support me on my Patreon - my Patreon posts are all free transcripts of my episodes, so go check it out if you need that accessibility option!Twitter: https://twitter.com/VideoGameTiradeEmail: videogametirade@gmail.com Support the Show.
Ep 8 (S) - BotW: AoC - Time Travel Ruins Things
In this episode, I take you through the plot of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, but mostly I explain why I think it's a calamity of a game. *badum-tss* Check out the episode to hear what exactly I think of this game and what good things from it I talk about! ...If there are any!Ending and Beginning links: Beg: https://youtu.be/x_OwcYTNbHs - Jim Yosef - FireflyEnd: https://youtu.be/1-0-4HqyvXE - Tobu & Itro - SunburstFollow me on social media, or support me on my Patreon - my Patreon posts are all free transcripts of my episodes, so go check it out if you need that accessibility option!Twitter: https://twitter.com/VideoGameTiradeEmail: videogametirade@gmail.com Support the Show.
Ep 7 (S) - XBC2 - We DON'T Kill God in This JRPG!
Warning: LONG BOY. Grab your drinks and popcorn and settle in, folks!In this episode, I thoroughly summarize Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and discuss what I think are the most annoying parts of an otherwise extremely enjoyable replayable story-based game. I love this game, not the least of which reason why is how involved and awesome the story is AND how it combines with Xenoblade Chronicles 1. (EVEN THOUGH it was supposed to have nothing to do with XBC1!!) I like this game, I like these characters, I like this story, I talk about it for nearly 2 hours. Enjoy~!Ending and Beginning links: Beg: https://youtu.be/v8FckEqIo1Q - Tantal Day Theme - ACE (I'm using this link as the YT poster links directly to where to buy the OST and explicitly names all 4 composers in the description)End: https://youtu.be/TV0uYFPEkks - Elysium in the Dream - Yasunori Mitsuda (same as above)Follow me on social media, or support me on my Patreon - my Patreon posts are all free transcripts of my episodes, so go check it out if you need that accessibility option!Twitter: https://twitter.com/VideoGameTiradeEmail: videogametirade@gmail.comSupport the Show.
Ep 6 (S) - Yakuza 0 - The Birth of a Legend
Warning: Foul language and discussion of mature topics. 18+ recommended.In this episode, I thoroughly summarize Yakuza 0, which is arguably a masterwork of a thriller plot, the game that literally saved the Yakuza franchise, and the perfect starting point to understand all of the rules of the Yakuza series, both in terms of in-universe rules and how to play the game itself. Fantastic game, on XBox Gamepass - play it, watch it, enjoy it!Ending and Beginning links: Beg: https://youtu.be/EP625xQIGzs - Hope (NCS Release) - TobuEnd: https://youtu.be/xshEZzpS4CQ - Force (NCS Release) - Alan WalkerFollow me on social media, or support me on my Patreon - my Patreon posts are all free transcripts of my episodes, so go check it out if you need that accessibility option!Twitter: https://twitter.com/VideoGameTiradeEmail: videogametirade@gmail.com Support the Show.
Ep 5 (S) - Kena: Bridge of Spirits - The Story of Grief & Its Poisonous Consequences When Turned
In this episode, I thoroughly summarize Kena: Bridge of Spirits, and discuss a lot of the theming and general components of gaming that I adore from this game! And also the one thing that I am quite bitter about, as it just makes no sense.Ending and Beginning links: Beg: https://youtu.be/OJhqsUnKUWw - Humanity (NCS Release) - Max BrhonEnd: https://youtu.be/r75cTpUS7tM - Bugs & Daff - Duft PankFollow me on social media, or support me on my Patreon - my Patreon posts are all free transcripts of my episodes, so go check it out if you need that accessibility option!Twitter: https://twitter.com/VideoGameTiradeEmail: videogametirade@gmail.com Support the Show.
Ep 4 (T) - Death Stranding - Games for Charity and Viewer Entertainment
Warning: This episode contains mature language. 18+ strongly recommended. In this episode, I discuss a smidge of Death Stranding but, more importantly, watching gaming over the internet as its own entertainment thing and how that can affect our heads and positively affect the world. This is something I find very dear to me, particularly all of the things I watch for my own entertainment, and I would love to hear some similar stories from you guys! Hmu on Twitter or in my email for that, if you're interested. : )Beginning and Ending links:Beg: https://youtu.be/lOayfi7GhQw - Ellis - Clear My HeadEnd: https://youtu.be/yJg-Y5byMMw - Mortals (NCS Release) - WarriyoFollow me on social media, or support me on my Patreon - my Patreon posts are all free transcripts of my episodes, so go check it out if you need that accessibility option!Twitter: https://twitter.com/VideoGameTiradeEmail: videogametirade@gmail.com Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/videogametirade)Support the Show.
Ep 3 (S) - Jurassic World Evolution - Dinos! Boring Except for That Sweet 100%
Warning: This episode contains mature language. 18+ strongly recommended. In this episode, I discuss 2018's hit sandbox simulator, Jurassic World Evolution! I have... some pretty harsh things to say about it. But that sweet, sweet 100%, though...This episode is highly reliant on my own opinion - all opinions are respected!

Ep. 2 (R) - Reacting to the Sept 23 2021 Direct!
Warning: This episode contains mature language. 18+ strongly recommended. In this episode, I discuss the Direct from now last week! There were some strong titles, and also some things that I personally would never be interested in. With these kinds of large mishmash announcements, that will always happen. What things are YOU excited for??? Let me know using #VGTDirect21 !This episode is highly reliant on my own opinion - I am not stating anything regarding the "goodness" or "badness" of any game or person as fact. Any claims I make regarding actual people are all alleged and based on my own opinion only.(Also, I'm aware that a lot of the things I say in this episode aren't exactly 100% correct - I have the corrections in the comments of the transcript over on my Patreon!)Beginning and Ending links:Beg: https://youtu.be/bafd5CsNk0M - ROY KNOX Lost in Sound (Magic Release)End: https://youtu.be/Ar50xVQ08Qw - Yusuf Alev Yoros (Magic Release)Follow me on social media, or support me on my Patreon - my Patreon posts are all free transcripts of my episodes, so go check it out if you need that accessibility option!Twitter: https://twitter.com/VideoGameTiradeEmail: videogametirade@gmail.com Support the Show.
Ep. 1 (T) - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - Where Did One Anime Trope Start?
Warning: This episode contains mature language and discussions of mature themes and topics. 18+ strongly recommended.(Also parts of the audio are strange due to needing to re-record due to microphone error!)In this episode, I talk about a little bit about Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and one aspect of the animation style in the game that's also quite uncomfortably prevalent in modern anime: women and their large... torsos.
