Welcome to the Shiitake Show!
Hello there, fellow gamers! Welcome back to the Shiitake Show, where we serve up our hot takes on all things gaming. Whether you’re here for the entertainment or just to join in the conversation, we’ve got you covered.
The Xbox Apocalypse: Is the PS5 Pro Worth It?
This week, the gaming world is buzzing with rumors of the imminent downfall of Xbox. Some circles are even speculating that the end is near for our beloved console. But hold on a second, do we really need to panic? I mean, who needs a PS5 Pro anyway?
Despite the base PS5 allegedly entering its final phase of life (already? Seriously?), there are rumors that the PS5 Pro is still on the horizon. But do we really need it? Let’s dive into the world of gaming and find out.
The Streaming Wars and the Impact on Our Favorite Franchises
On this episode, we also explore the ongoing streaming wars and how they affect our beloved franchises like Star Trek and Marvel. With the recent disappearance of Pokemon TV, it’s clear that the battle for streaming dominance is heating up.
But let’s take a moment to ponder something else: when will live-service games hit rock bottom? We’ve seen games like Suicide Squad and Gotham Knights push the boundaries of what these games can offer. Are we reaching a breaking point? Are these games becoming bloated and losing their appeal?
In a world where the gaming market is saturated with big-budget titles, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for games without a clear direction to deliver on their promises. Shiny graphics can only take you so far, after all. But fear not, my friends, there is still plenty of gaming goodness out there if you’re willing to explore!
