We also talk about Divinity: Original Sin 2, the term “souls-like”, why couldn’t Fallout 4 be a “game as a service”, and games we didn’t finish.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us here at the We Played Some Games podcast.

025: Mario’s Nipples

025-Mario's

To be honest, we chose the title of this episode in an attempt to ride the wave of this controversial topic. This week our friend, Brian George, joins the conversation. Dennis and Brian spoil and are spoiled by Nier: Automata. Michael and Brian set up overwatch on the Chosen in XCOM 2. Shawn plays Spiel des Jahres nominated board game Imhotep. Michael is loving Divinity 2 and we chip in to buy Brian a copy. Dennis defends the frontier from a wave of new titans. Brian says Pyre is a slam dunk.

020: Tournament Podium

Dennis gets all his “old” games out of the way (Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption, and Fallout 4) so Michael can tell us about “Fat Rolling”.

Yeah, not so much any more.
