Xbox Game Passengers 040 — As Dusk Falls

by Derek Kraneveldt

Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.

After a bit of a much-needed break from the show, we’re excited to be back with a brand-new episode.

Derek and Dougie jumped into As Dusk Falls hoping to relive the Telltale Games there-are-no-good-choices glory days (well, at least Derek was) with As Dusk Falls. How did things turn out? Listen on to find out!

Now, we hope to be back very soon with regular episodes, but we don’t quite know what that looks like yet. You’ll hear it in the show itself, but Derek has been having a hard time enjoying games at all as of late (hence the long break), and being forced to play some potentially bad games doesn’t seem like the best way to overcome that. There are plenty of things that he’s missed (and plenty of those things on Xbox Game Pass), so he’s going to focus on playing some titles that are hopefully enjoyable, and craft some episodes from there!

As Dusk Falls is an original interactive drama from INTERIOR/NIGHT that explores the entangled lives of two families across thirty years. Starting in 1998 with a robbery-gone-wrong in small town Arizona, the choices you make have a powerful impact on the characters’ lives in this uncompromising story of betrayal, sacrifice and resilience.

Replay the story again and again to uncover vastly different outcomes for the characters and explore hidden nuances behind every decision. Will your characters survive unscathed? What kind of people will they ultimately become?

Xbox Game Passengers 039 – ‘Bugsnax’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.

Once a month, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service, which was chosen for them (usually) at random.

Whether the game is a magical or a horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what’s coming up on the next adventure.

From Octodad creators Young Horses comes Bugsnax, a nigh-indescribable adventure with cutesy graphics, adult humour, and an astoundingly unique assortment of half bug half snack creatures. Dougie returns to the show to chat all about this unique experience.

Bugsnax takes you on a journey to Snaktooth Island, home of the legendary half-bug half-snack creatures, Bugsnax. Invited by intrepid explorer Elizabert Megafig, you arrive to discover your host nowhere to be found, her camp in shambles, and her followers scattered across the island alone… and hungry! It’s up to you to solve the mysteries of Snaktooth Island: What happened to Lizbert? What are Bugsnax and where do they come from? But most of all, why do they taste SO GOOD?

Xbox Game Passengers 038 – ‘The Forgotten City’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.

Once a month, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service, which was chosen for them (usually) at random.

Whether the game is a magical or a horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what’s coming up on the next adventure.

This month, it’s time for a time-looping mystery with Skyrim mod turned full game The Forgotten City, and for the first time in quite some time, Derek is joined by a brand-new guest!

The Forgotten City is a mystery adventure game of exploration and deduction, and a re-imagining of the critically acclaimed mod that won a national Writers’ Guild award and racked up over 3 million downloads.

Combat is an option, but violence will only get you so far. Only by questioning an intertwined community of colourful characters, cleverly exploiting the time loop, and making difficult moral choices can you hope to solve this epic mystery. Here, your decisions matter. The fate of the city is in your hands.

Xbox Game Passengers 035 – ‘Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.

Once a month, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service, which was chosen for them (usually) at random.

Whether the game is a magical or a horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what’s coming up on the next adventure.

Somehow we made it this long without longtime friend and Geekscapist (not to mention Geekscape Games regular) Josh Jackson coming on the show. We’re super happy to finally be changing that, and we’re super happy that he’s here to talk about Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.

Hope’s Peak Academy is home to Japan’s best and brightest high school students—the beacons of hope for the future. But that hope suddenly dies when Makoto Naegi and his classmates find themselves imprisoned in the school, cut off from the outside world and subject to the whims of a strange, murderous little bear named Monokuma. He pits the students against each other, promising freedom to anyone who can murder a fellow classmate and get away with it.

It’s up to you to find out who Monokuma really is, and why you’ve been taken from the world you once knew. But be careful what you wish for—sometimes there’s nothing more deadly than the truth…

Xbox Game Passengers 034 – ‘Sea Of Solitude’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.

At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what’s coming up on the next adventure.

We’re (finally) back to some female representation as Mikaela re-joins the show to chat about 2019’s very pretty sadness simulator, Sea of Solitude. Will Mikaela cry before the end of the episode? You’ll have to listen to find out, but damn this game was depressing.

When humans get too lonely, they turn into monsters…

Sea of Solitude takes you on a personal journey of a young woman’s loneliness. Set sail across a beautiful and evolving world, where nothing is quite what it seems. Meet fantastical creatures and monsters, learn their stories, and solve challenges. Explore a flooded city, either by boat, on foot, or by swimming through the water itself. Dare to look what lies beneath the surface, in a haunting struggle of darkness and light, and discover what it truly means to be human.

Xbox Game Passengers 033 – ‘Halo Infinite’

At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what’s coming up on the next adventure.

It’d be hard to keep the show going without talking about one of 2021’s biggest (and last) releases: Halo Infinite. Pretty much co-host at this point and major Halo lover (like mentioned it in his wedding vows) Dougie returns to talk all about if Halo Infinite can save the series, how good Tactical Slayer is, his thoughts on the Battle Pass, and so much more.

Note: Derek’s audio is a little crispy this episode. Sorry about that.

When all hope is lost and humanity’s fate hangs in the balance, the Master Chief is ready to confront the most ruthless foe he’s ever faced. Step inside the armor of humanity’s greatest hero to experience an epic adventure and explore the massive scale of the Halo ring.

Xbox Game Passengers 030 – ‘Hades’

At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what’s coming up on the next adventure.

This month… is not so random. Over the month of August, Derek, along with past guests Dougie and Evan, all became organically enamoured with Supergiant’s celebrated roguelike, Hades. This does happen too often, so Derek figured that he should get the three of them together to chat about their experience.

There are a ton of spoilers for the game in this episode, but in short, everyone freaking loves this game (which is not news since that was the case with the Switch version like more than a year ago).

Recipient of more than 50 Game of the Year awards! In this rogue-like dungeon crawler, you’ll wield the powers and mythic weapons of Olympus to break free from the clutches of the god of the dead himself, while growing stronger and unraveling more of the story with each unique escape attempt.

Xbox Game Passengers 028 – ‘Perfect Dark’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.

Once a month, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service, which was chosen for them (usually) completely at random.

At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what’s coming up on the next adventure.

This month, Mike Duddy returns to talk about playing the Xbox 360 remake of the lauded N64 classic Perfect Dark. Mike was a big fan of the series growing up, and Derek had never played it before (and was pretty certain that this episode was just going to be a massive argument). Was it? Listen on to find out!

The remaster to the Nintendo 64 classic puts players in the role of Joanna Dark, an agent for Carrington Institute. In Perfect Dark, players battle across 17 action-packed levels, utilizing a range of high-tech weaponry and gadgets to take down the dataDyne corporation. Compete with others in the “Combat Simulator” or take the fight online in a co-operative mode that lets you take on enemies with a friend. Relive a classic with updated graphics in this high-definition take on Perfect Dark for Xbox 360.

Xbox Game Passengers 027 – ‘Titanfall 2’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.

Once a month, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service, which was chosen for them (usually) completely at random.

Whether the game is a magical or a horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what’s coming up on the next adventure.

This time around, John joins Derek to break down Respawn Entertainment’s lauded robot-centric FPS… and to see whether or not John has played Flight Simulator yet (he hasn’t… but has watched hours and hours of additional videos since our special E3 episode).

Call down your Titan and get ready for an exhilarating first-person shooter experience in Titanfall® 2! The sequel introduces a new single player campaign that explores the bond between Pilot and Titan. Or blast your way through an even more innovative and intense multiplayer experience – featuring 6 new Titans, deadly new Pilot abilities, expanded customization, new maps, modes, and much more.

Xbox Game Passengers: The Microsoft / Bethesda E3 2021 Special!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Holy crap.

Since Microsoft’s last E3 outing, a lot has happened. The company launched two spectacular new consoles, acquired companies like freakin’ Bethesda, and doubled down on the future with huge (finally released) moves in cloud streaming.

A couple of days back, Satya Nadella and Phil Spencer sat down to discuss why Microsoft is all-in on gaming, and also revealed that the the company is working on dedicated Xbox streaming sticks, and that soon you’ll be able to stream Xbox games directly to your smart TV.

https://youtu.be/1YnVzOA2wNs

With reveals like that trickling in prior to their actual presentation, we were pretty sure that the show was going to be a big one. From Starfield‘s release date to Halo Infinite multiplayer going free to play, to Forza Horizon 5‘s insane cacti, to Jack Sparrow in Sea of Thieves, previous guest John returns to Xbox Game Passengers host Derek to break down all the news.

Xbox Game Passengers 026 – ‘Yakuza 6: The Song Of Life’

by Derek Kraneveldt

At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what’s coming up on the next adventure.

Derek downloaded Yakuza 6 thinking it would be an open world GTA clone. He’s possibly never been more wrong. Join Derek and returning guest Shane as they for some reason start with the sixth mainline entry into the series, and don’t really understand what’s going on! A huge apology to Geekscape Games’ Josh and Carlos as we butcher discussing a series that they love.

How far would you go for family? Step into Japan’s criminal underworld with fists swinging in this explosive action brawler starring legendary yakuza, Kazuma Kiryu, who is hellbent on uncovering the truth behind a tragic accident that left his daughter comatose.

Xbox Game Passengers 025 – ‘Call Of The Sea’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.

Once a month, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service, which was chosen for them (usually) completely at random.

Whether the game is a magical or a horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what’s coming up on the next adventure.

It was clear from its very first trailer that the debut title from developer Out of the Blue games, Call of the Sea, would be beautiful to look at (and with cast members like Cissy Jones and Yuri Lowenthal, listen to) — but can it tell a tale worthy of its beautiful presentation? Mikaela returns to the show to share her thoughts.

Call of the Sea is a first-person adventure puzzle game set in the 1930s that tells the story of Norah, a woman on the trail of her missing husband’s expedition. The search takes place on a strange but beautiful island in the South Pacific, filled with secrets waiting to be unearthed. It is an otherworldly tale of mystery, adventure, and self-discovery.

Xbox Game Passengers 023 – ‘Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare / Warzone’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.

Typically, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service, which was chosen for them completely at random.

But these are atypical times, and with the added stress of some certain doom and a sensory overload of bad news, Xbox Game Passengers has found itself in a bit of a hiatus.

Host Derek has spent the past few weeks playing some games that he wanted to play, instead of games that he had to play, and he and guest (and Let’s Play Arcade! cohost John are here to give their thoughts on Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare. Yep, we know — it’s not even on Xbox Game Pass!

John has spent a lot of money to play this game (more than you’d guess), and Derek ended up with an Elite Controller, plus some initial thoughts on Fallout 76: Wastelanders, and more!

The stakes have never been higher as players take on the role of lethal Tier One operators in a heart-racing saga that will affect the global balance of power. Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® engulfs fans in an incredibly raw, gritty, provocative narrative that brings unrivaled intensity and shines a light on the changing nature of modern war. Developed by the studio that started it all, Infinity Ward delivers an epic reimagining of the iconic Modern Warfare® series from the ground up.

In the visceral and dramatic single-player story campaign, COD: Modern Warfare pushes boundaries and breaks rules the way only Modern Warfare® 2019 can. Players will engage in breathtaking covert operations alongside a diverse cast of international special forces throughout iconic European cities and volatile expanses of the Middle East.

Xbox Game Passengers 022 – ‘Untitled Goose Game’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.

Every other Wednesday, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service, which was chosen for them completely at random.

Whether it’s a magical or a horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what’s coming up on the next adventure.

Mikaela and Derek waited in anticipation literal years for Untitled Goose Game to finally release. Once it finally hit the Nintendo Switch and PC back in September… they proceeded to not play it until it later dropped on Xbox Game Pass and was luckily drawn for the show!

Untitled Goose Game is a slapstick-stealth-sandbox, where you are a goose let loose on an unsuspecting village. Make your way around town, from peoples’ back gardens to the high street shops to the village green, setting up pranks, stealing hats, honking a lot, and generally ruining everyone’s day.

Xbox Game Passengers 021 – ‘World War Z’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.

Every other Wednesday, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Game Pass service, which was chosen for them completely at random.

Whether it’s a magical or a horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what’s coming up on the next adventure.

This time around, Mike returns for his second episode in a row to discuss the derivative but compelling multiplayer adventure, World War Z. The pair make far too many comparisons to Left 4 Dead… but what are you going to do about it?

World War Z is a heart-pounding four-player cooperative third-person shooter featuring massive swarms of zombies that recklessly rush their living prey. Focused on fast-paced gameplay — and inspired by the incredibly popular Paramount Pictures property of the same name — World War Z explores new storylines and characters from around the world in tense, overwhelming, and gruesomely exciting missions.

Xbox Game Passengers 020 – ‘Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.

Every other Wednesday, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service, which was chosen for them completely at random.

Whether it’s a magical or a horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show.

In this episode, Mike returns to break down 2017’s lauded adventure title, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. It’s a much different experience than either host expected and… they spend far too much time wondering if the world will ever see a sequel as they recorded this episode just days before Senua’s Saga was revealed.

From the makers of Heavenly Sword, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, and DmC: Devil May Cry, comes a warrior’s brutal journey into myth and madness. Set in the Viking age, a broken Celtic warrior embarks on a haunting vision quest into Viking Hell to fight for the soul of her dead lover. Created in collaboration with neuroscientists and people who experience psychosis, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice will pull you deep into Senua’s mind.
