It's time for a much-coveted solo episode of Sacred+, this one a mailbag conducted all by myself (it's Colin, by the way). I solicited inquiries and scoured 30 of your responses on a wide range of topics. Thus, join me as we chat about the future of Sacred Symbols and Last Stand, what we might expect from PlayStation 6, the 'right' and 'wrong' ways to Trophy hunt, the health of PSVR2, Sony's second party initiatives, Xbox's purportedly cancelled handheld, the next Resident Evil, when Final Fantasy actually became "good," and so much more. Enjoy!

POV: The podcaster you listen to picks you up and puts you on his lap and lulls you to sleep talking nonsense for two hours

Joe McPartlin

I didn't get through reading the title before my mind started interpreting it in the southern man voice

Ivan Wankinov

I'll admit, that title gave me a good chuckle. Can't wait to sit on papa's lap after finishing SS

start a infection

I love splitgate but absolutely cringed at the fps maga hat

KYisLife

Made the cut! Thanks Colin.

Trent Miller

The title is awesome.

Zac

Colin we all know you want From Software to make a Castlevania game idk why you're trying so hard to avoid saying it

Kelzilla

Thanks for reading my question Colin! Going forward I will try and limit the amount of trailers I watch for games I’m excited for.

Ethan Barcelos

The thumbnail and title is sufficiently unhinged. Good job guys.

FlynnTaggartGuy

What do we gotta do to get Colin to watch Dune

Al Sharpton vs Sharp Alton

Thanks for taking my question. I’ve been playing FF4 since I submitted and I can definitely tell that it’s getting a bit more complex story-wise (which is the reason I like what I’ve played of the series—FFVII, FFX, FFXI, and FFXII). I did have some fun with the first three, but they honestly kinda blend together in my mind in a sort of simple fantasy quest slop way. Still appreciate building up the foundation of knowledge for the series and seeing first appearances of all the series staples—enemies, spells, characters, etc.

Thanks for the great episode Colin

Galactic Survivor

I would like to see Let's Plays make a return.

Tyrone Yhip

Love you daddy Col ❤️

Big Swingin' Rick

Man, shoutout to Blindside, what an awesome band. First band I ever saw live back in 2006. You say you don't trust Europeans but here you are naming your first trophy in twinbreaker "caught a glimpse"

Big titty drinker

A horizon multiplayer is one of the few multiplayer player games I might come outside for. That game has god tier gameplay and enemy design.

Kenneth Koepnick

FWIW, and not in the spirit of having to recreate what was old… but as someone who used to watch C&G Live… I do think a live stream with the chaotic energy of Stelly… 2-3 people, videos, nonsense, with a laidback Colin, maybe a wild Jaffe, & some combination of the rest of the crew would be pretty enticing.

No Diddy.

PS5 is killing cuz Microsoft decided to be retards the last 10 years and now theres no competition. You say Sony is making a killing in 2025 as if thats the product of great games and decision. Is not. They simply got lucky, and if your logic is "well, they dont have to do anything cuz they keep selling out" then I guess Sony amazing run with games ended with the ps4, because they dont have motivation to improve, to impress or to do jackshit, and it will stay like that till a new player comes or something. Such a boring ass timeline

Christ of Nazareth vs the new and improved Ginyu Force

I think I know what he meant, but I couldn't help but have my ears perk up when Colin said SF6 is the biggest fighting game at 5 million units. Sakurai putting numbers on the board, SSBU selling like 6 times that.

CUMSoftware

A debate style show arguing games/movies/shows. Not another Disney/marvel/Star Wars channel lol but two people from LSM duking it out over topics like “does this game actually suck? Or something like that. One argues for, one against. But it has to be like two friends debating not like politicians. You could do game trivia, game soundtrack trivia(basically first person to guess the song playing gets the point. This is fun as hell with people who know game and movie soundtracks. Audience can get involved with topics, voting, etc.

plzsendpie

Let's plays of specifically souls games would be dope. That Bloodborne KF video is legendary stuff 😂

Ham Stroker's Ejacula

It would actually be funny to witness the conflict he would have. Wanting a new Castlevania for so long but it turning out to be a souls game made by From.

Ham Stroker's Ejacula

I'm so glad that Playstation didn't approach Arc to make a dumb Playstation mascot fighting game. That would have been a colossal waste of time, money and talent. Its good to know that Playstation also knows that.

Jeff in NOLA

Colin, not sure if you read these at all anymore but I’m always impressed how open, honest and genuine you come across. It’s why I’ll always be here as long as I keep breathing

Michael

Colin you did not get far enough into Elden Ring to understand why people love it. You beat the second boss and stopped before the game actually opens up and “becomes” Elder Ring

Sixth Gen Console Enjoyer

There is absolutely a western AAA output problem. Colin’s denial is so out of touch

Mr. Scott If You're Nasty

Final Fantasy 16 being better than Expedition 33 is a wild take LoL. One I think most wouldn't agree with.

The Rose Experience

That’s honestly far enough to know, particularly with the context of FROM’s other games. There are an enough similarities there to know if it’s for you or not, the formula isn’t that much different.

BigDumbStupidIdiot

Dragon Age having breast removal scars isn't dumb because it's woke; it's dumb because it's bad world building. There are all kinds of crazy magic in that world but none to change your physical appearance? If they wanted to make a metaphor about hatred towards trans people, they could have made a chunk of the NPCs hostile towards the player if they change their physical appearance at all. BioWare's writers are garbage.

NeO JD

Shout out to Chris S for asking the same question I asked but expounding on it. 😄

Gareth Handa

Loved this episode, so many things I had answered that I’d been wondering myself. Hope you do another soon

Aaron Barstow

I wish Colin would do an entire podcast with his southern voice, and not acknowledge that he was using his southern voice

Bailey Callis

Colin spitting big facts on the double standard with political messaging in games

Eric Golley

Ff16 being better than E33 is WILD.

RIPIT

This community is definitely the most autistic

Dan’s an

I could not disagree more about Sony making a fighting game with their characters.
