Disembodied Voices Episode 37: In Which Cameron is Agreeable

theDVcast.com writes:

"It’s a brand new episode with a brand new positive outlook! Zachary, Stephen, and Bryan chat amiably about Xenoblade Chronicles, The Legend of Dead Kel, and classic Rare games of childhood memories while Cameron nods his freakishly non-confrontational agreement the whole way through. Although his zombie-like affability is creepy, it doesn’t hold a candle to the serial-killer-esque mannequin torso Stephen found in his garage. (That has nothing to do with video games; it’s just terrifying.)

On a far less morbid note, still-tentatively-titled-segme nt Delectable Design returns to brighten up everyone’s day with talk of Wind Waker’s Great Sea– which, come to think of it, concludes with a theory about 'Corpse Island,' so the the morbidness kind of continues. But who cares? Listen to Disembodied Voices Episode 37 for all kinds of games, all kinds of fun."

I have bought every game no matter the system. Hopefully the Switch 2 is powerful enough to give this world the detail it deserves

Really looking forward to seeing what they have next

Vithar256d ago

my favorite series of all time now, Xc3 was top tier

Zeldafan64255d ago

I've got about 1500 hours into all 4 Xenoblade games. It's now tied with Zelda as my favorite series. We need a Xenoblade Warriors game.

I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.

Abear21587d ago

Agreed, Same with Metal Gear Solid imo. Came for Bioshock and was not disappointed. Would easily put Burger Time or Space Taxi over tempest. Also, OG Sim City and Oregon Trail. Mario 64 as well. Just too many!

Abear21587d ago

Never played it I gotta get on this one

Double_O_Revan587d ago

Me too. I didn't have a GC until way later and never played it. I've been waiting on Nintendo to release the HD edition on the Switch for forever, but they just won't!

FinalFantasyFanatic587d ago

I never bought a Gamecube, I've always had an urge to play this game, maybe it'll get a remaster in the future.

LoveSpuds587d ago

I played it on WiiU for the first time and it remains my fave Zelda game to date. So much character and a real sense of exploration without the open world bloat.

Petebloodyonion587d ago

Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?

Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.

Said it before but Heart of Darkness is truly a timeless gem.
