Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me… you can’t get fooled again.
The Electronic Wireless Showpodcastreturns to one of ourrecent previous messesto discussPayday 3. More specifically, we look at the post-launch changes the devs are making in an effort to improve matchmaking and wait times. Specifically, we use this to think about games that have changed their reputations after a rocky start, what withCyberpunk 2077’s recent 2.0 update. What are the circumstances that allow games to do that? Why are they such outliers? How do we think about reviews in the context of something likeNo Man’s Sky?
We’ve also been playing some big recent games, so tune in for discussions ofAssassin’s Creed Mirage, a call for pirate games, and a hilarious misunderstanding about Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor.
