Fall to your knees and weep. As you exit your corporeal form due to crushing despair over the loss of narrative-driven video games, the Reaper dabs in triumph. It's a week of bad looks at 2v1, with EA closing Visceral Games and any hope of a promising single player focused Star Wars game with it. Activision/Blizzard wants you to covet the game-winning items of Marquee Players and Xbox reveals its delusion. Also discussed: Middle Earth: Shadow of War, Steamworld Dig 2, Rocket League, Cuphead, Alienation, Mario + Rabbids Outro from Steamworld Dig 2 OST: https://imageform.bandcamp.com/releases 2v1podcast.com Send your questions, qomments or qoncerns to: feedback@2v1podcast.com Youtube: bit.ly/2mU2cZs Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

Everyone hates loot crates. Well, some people. And it depends on the game. And what if you can buy them with in-game currency? But is it gambling?! What we're trying to say is loot crates are divisive. Middle Earth: Shadow of War dominates this episode as the follow up to a game Nick & Josh (and some dude named Cody who joins again) greatly enjoyed. There's much to discuss outside of loot crates including new gameplay twists, updates to the Nemesis system, breaking Lord of the Rings universe and a more interesting world to explore. 2v1podcast.com Send your questions, qomments or qoncerns to: feedback@2v1podcast.com Youtube: bit.ly/2mU2cZs Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

The streak of guests continues this week with friend of the show, Lindsey! The Star Wars Battlefront II beta opens up to the public and it appears to be an improvement for the revived series. Fortnite Battle Royale is still fun and Cuphead is a must-buy. 2v1 covers a lot of games this week: Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Metroid: Samus Returns, Persona 5, Last Guardian, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, Undertale & Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain.

It turns out 2v1 is having a blast with Fortnite Battle Royale - but how does it compare to the 2017 classic PUBG? Another week dissolves into history as 2v1 welcomes back their friend Cody to help Nick discuss the depth of Divinity Original Sin 2 as well as the mythical, hardcore, 1930's action game, Cuphead. The gang discusses the future of Battle Royale games, Zelda's Master Trials, the Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer, Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain & more.

Metroid is back. While the return of a favorite series is exciting news, the launch is marred by pre-order delivery woes for Alex and Nick. But that didn't stop Nick from diving back into the hunt for space suit abilities and missile upgrades. 2v1 wraps up their limited opinions of Destiny 2, Josh revisits Dishonored 2 with the new standalone title: Death of the Outsider, Mario + Rabbids continues to entertain and the Nintendo Direct was a wealth of information. 2v1podcast.com Send your questions, qomments or qoncerns to: feedback@2v1podcast.com Youtube: bit.ly/2mU2cZs Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

Destiny 2 has finally been unleashed upon the gaming community and it seems to be more of the same...but better? 2v1 spends some time discussing some of Destiny 2's quality of life improvements and whether or not consumable shaders are a step too far. Alex finds enjoyment in the broken Friday the 13th and Fortnite's tutorial is too long. Nick is entrenched in tactical RPGs with Xcom 2 & Mario + Rabbids. Josh loved What Remains of Edith Finch. Also discussed: TellTale's Batman, Outlast 2, Hitman 2v1podcast.com Send your questions, qomments or qoncerns to: feedback@2v1podcast.com Youtube: bit.ly/2mU2cZs Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

Things: Hollow Knight, Nidhogg 2, Xbox One X is apparently desired, Xcom 2, Killer Instinct, Street Fighter V, Playstation 5??, Rivals of Aether, Ratchet & Clank, Enter the Gungeon, Half Life 2 Episode 3 (sort of), and why is Venmo a thing?

There's nothing better than a walk through the woods to clear your head. Pro tip: be sure to wear your solar powered backpack so you can keep your Nintendo Switch charged as you bask in Nature's glory. Though be warned: every movement you make is being recorded by a network of drones synced to an AI for 'your safety' and everyone will know when a bear catches you off guard as you frantically attempt to shoot a few more drops of ink in Splatoon 2. This week, 2v1 is joined by regular-guest Cody to talk about customer service woes, Destiny 2 hype, Battlegrounds fatigue and multitasking. Josh still loves Pyre and Nick gets voyeuristic in Tacoma. Also discussed: Street Fighter V, Splatoon 2, SNES cancellations and TellTale 2v1podcast.com Send your questions, qomments or qoncerns to: feedback@2v1podcast.com Youtube: bit.ly/2mU2cZs Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

Nintendo has made a questionable call with Metroid: Samus Returns & its Amiibo figures. 2v1 attempts to determine whether they've crossed the line of withholding content or if it really is a non-issue. LawBreakers is back in beta as it nears final release, Overwatch's new character, Doomfist, isn't great according to Josh. Alex gets to play with his New Nintendo 2DS XL and continue loving the Castlevania series. Nick is mad at The End is Nigh (again). Josh adores Pyre. Also discussed: Gamestop & its lack of games, Splatoon 2, Battlegrounds, Tell Tale games and Berserk. 2v1podcast.com Send your questions, qomments or qoncerns to: feedback@2v1podcast.com Youtube: bit.ly/2mU2cZs Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

The beta for Destiny 2 has arrived and it is almost exactly what everyone expected. 2v1 spends some time discussing impressions of the slim offering and wondering if maybe the magic (light?) has faded. Nick has a bone to pick with Nintendo and their online experience but Splatoon 2 is still delightful. Alex jumps back to the ancient times of Xbox One's launch. Josh is frustrating to play against in Guilty Gear. Also discussed: Evo 2017, End is Nigh, Uncharted, Castlevania 2v1podcast.com Send your questions, qomments or qoncerns to: feedback@2v1podcast.com Youtube: bit.ly/2mU2cZs Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

Josh returns to talk final thoughts on Horizon: Zero Dawn (semi-spoilers from about 4:00-13:00). Alex can't believe Uncharted 4's visual fidelity. Nick has unfounded concern with the End Is Nigh. Also discussed: Guilty Gear Xrd, Killing Floor 2, Rocket League, Slain, Castlevania and Zelda Outro from End Is Nigh soundtrack by Ridiculon: https://ridiculon.bandcamp.com/album/the-end-is-nigh-ost 2v1podcast.com Send your questions, qomments or qoncerns to: feedback@2v1podcast.com Youtube: bit.ly/2mU2cZs Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

With Josh away, 2v1 is joined by The Average One, AJ, to back up Nick on the fighting game craze and to gush about Dark Souls (which lucky for you, listener, some of the discussion was lost in the Abyss). Alex has time to wrap up some games with final thoughts on Mass Effect: Andromeda, Dead Rising 4 and Chrono Trigger, leading to a lengthy discussion of pacing and momentum in games such as Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Evil Within, Darkest Dungeon & more.
