Arc Raiders Deep Dive, Steam Machine, Black Ops 7 | Ft. AaronShack64

We dive deep into the latest in gaming and tech with special guest AaronShack64. First up, we unpack the fascinating world of Arc Raiders, the new extraction shooter from Embark. We analyze its unique player culture, where solo players are often friendly, and explore the incredibly advanced, terrifying AI of the Arcs. Plus, we cover the massive success of its community events, the quick feedback loop from the developers, and the addition of a new Duos mode. We even explore the compelling audio design and why players are embracing the Player-vs-Environment (PvE) mentality in a game that offers Player-vs-Player (PvP). Next, we move to a major discussion about the new Steam Machine, Steam Controller, and VR Headset announcement. Is this the accessible bridge PC gamers have been waiting for, and what does it mean for the future of consoles like Xbox and PlayStation? We also weigh in on the best upgrade path for your PC when you're looking to balance cost and performance. Finally, we discuss the current state of Destiny and what could happen with the upcoming Renegades expansion, especially considering the controversy around sunsetting content. We wrap up with our initial thoughts on Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and why the PC (Steam) version seems to perform better than the Xbox App version.
