    Greetings listeners!

    Joel also joins Kyran in talking about cracking packs in Pokémon TCG Pocket as we both lament our terrible RNG when it comes to collecting these digital cards.

    Meanwhile in the Bonus Round we talk about our time at PAX Australia 2024 including plenty of praise for Massive Monster and Devolver Digital's Cult of the Lamb and some of the panels we attended.

  • Dialogue Options Podcast Episode 274: Livin' as Outlaws in Star Wars
    Oct 7 2024

    Greetings listeners!

    We're back after an unintentional and unexpected month off, Joel's been busy with shows and Kyran's body has been trying to get sick before PAX again but both of us are back and ready to go on a new episode.

    In the Quest Log Kyran tells Joel about just how much the Persona DNA is noticeable in the early stages of Metaphor: ReFantazio thanks to a recently released demo and offers some impressions of the charming indie hit, Plucky Squire. Meanwhile Joel's been living his best outlaw life in Star Wars: Outlaws and serves up some of his early opinions on Ubisoft's latest game.

    Then in the Bonus Round we talk briefly about the recent news that 343 Studios is changing their name to just Halo Studios and the shift away from the Slipspace Engine and moving future Halo games to the Unreal Engine. We also finally find time to break down Sony's most recent State of Play and congratulate them on doing a good one at last.

  • Dialogue Options Podcast Episode 272: Thank Goodnes You're Here, Gamescom
    Aug 26 2024

    Greetings listeners!

    We're back with another episode after an unexpected delay.

    In the Quest Log this week Kyran gets a little nostalgic about the recently re-released Timesplitters trilogy as it arrives on PlayStation and Joel has fulfilled his promise from the last episode and completed Thank Goodness You're Here and attempts to tell Kyran what he loved about it without giving away too much of the good stuff.

    Meanwhile in the Bonus Round we work through some of the biggest headlines from Geoff Keighley's Gamescom Opening Night Live and talk about some of the stuff that got us hyped and some things that really didn't.

  • Dialogue Options Podcast Episode 270: Spiralling with Alan Wake in Night Springs
    Jul 7 2024

    Greetings listeners!

    On this week's episode of the show we have recruited Jesse (from The Falcon: A Footy Podcast) to help us take a bit of a dive into our love of Alan Wake 2 plus really going in on the recently released Night Springs DLC. Tread lightly if you haven't played yet, we do touch on some spoilers related to the content of those episodes. If you want to be cautious we move beyond spoilers and get read to move on at around 1:07:05

    Later in the show we shift gears and congratulate Jesse on completing Elden Ring (2022's GOTY) and Kyran talks about his early impressions for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

  • Dialogue Options Podcast Episode 269: Metroid Prime 4 is Back!
    Jun 22 2024

    Greetings listeners!

    We're back with our second episode from Joel's new set up (so that might explain if we sound a bit different, he's still getting everything set up) and boy is it one that we've been waiting a long time to do.

    First up we've got a Quest Log where Joel touches on a couple of games he checked out from Steam Next Fest, including I Am Your Best and Dungeon Clawler, before Kyran breaks down how his enjoyment of Destiny 2 has been revitalised with the release of The Final Shape.

    SPOILERS FOR FINAL SHAPE'S FINAL MISSION FROM 0:32:23 TO 0:37:18

    Meanwhile in Dope or Nope we have a new Nintendo Direct to work our way through and it just so happens to be the one we've been waiting for. Metroid Prime 4 officially resurfaced with a fancy new subtitle 'Beyond', as well as a new Mario & Luigi game (Brothership) and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (finally Zelda is playable). Needless to say that we were shocked after how much Nintendo was playing down the Direct when they said it had no Switch 2 announcements, turns out it never even needed it!
