Monster Hunter Changes, Ubisoft Under Pressure and Anime Roster Wars
In this episode, Antonius DaGamer and Super SSS Rank revisit the nostalgic challenge of classic Monster Hunter, debate whether Assassin’s Creed Shadows can live up to the legacy of Ghost of Tsushima, and explore gaming trends—from comparing new titles to established giants and the impact of female protagonists, to the rising appeal of cozy experiences versus intense gameplay, and what truly makes an anime game stand out. Note: Technical difficulties led to an abrupt ending, but the conversation remains packed with thoughtful commentary.
