Grand Theft Uh-Oh | Sacred Symbols: A PlayStation Podcast Episode 177

Sometimes, very easy things turn out to be very hard for no apparent reason. Apparently, this mantra rings true for Rockstar, which released its acclaimed PlayStation 2 trilogy of Grand Theft Auto games on PS4 and PS5 in... well... a pretty shocking state. It's a big story (and a damn shame), and we discuss it in-depth. Rockstar ain't the only one hurting, though. Activision isn't only beleaguered from top-to-bottom due to claims of impropriety galore, but because its new Call of Duty game is apparently selling softer than any entry in the series in some 15 years. That, too, is a big story (although less of a damn shame), and we discuss that in-depth, too. Plus: Delays! Six Days in Fallujah, Saints Row, and Pragmata have all been pushed, while WB's crossover fighter MultiVersus is real, and League of Legends goes all-in on expanding its universe on PlayStation. We wrap up, as we always do, with listener inquiries. Will the effects of COVID and the chip shortage extend the PS5 generation? Is it possible that PlayStation's Spider-Man will appear in the new Spiderverse film? How do we feel about detective-style games? Can we instruct a listener on how to properly execute his first kiss?

Tip of the cap for that title 🤗

Uh oh mode the sequel! Those rain physics are harder to look at than that astroworld concert am I right 🧐😶

Turkey can be fine if cooked properly but the answer to the ultimate festive dead bird feast is the classic Victorian avian concoction of goose, turkey, duck and guinea-fowl nested inside of each other. It's wonderful.

Our family stopped eating turkey for Thanksgiving two decades ago. We change it up every year and its awesome, consomé and tacos for this year. When we do have turkey its pavo enchilado, if you know you know 👌🏽

In other news for Battlefield 2042, me and every other person who preordered the game on ps5 when the preorders launched are not able to access or download the game. I have contacted Playstation who sent me to EA who sent me to playstation. Ill update on the next Sacred Symbols thread, what a mess, wonder if it will become a story :-(.

What is Take Two is doing some straight up 4D Chess? And the botched GTA trilogy is a New Coke situation, and they soon announce Rockstar proper is remaking the games? 🤣 #ConspiracyTheoriesAreFun

That's one of the best episode titles for SS.

I recommend saying "my betrothed" for your hypothetical future fiance.

Hi CCD, the Thanksgiving talk got me thinking that in my family only twice we have actually had turkey for Thanksgiving. We usually have ham and chicken, we have had tamales too, posole and ham, pick your dish buffet style. Mostly its just about gathering the family and chilling in my family

1. Don't buy Butterball; buy a brand like Mary's or from a local poultry farm 2. DRY BRINE the turkey yourself, AVOID THE PRE BRINED CRAP. 3. Once it's in the oven, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Do not baste with the drippings. 4. ONLY stuff the turkey with aromatics, like lemon, onion, garlic, apple, cinnamon, etc. Any "stuffing" or dressing in that area is gonna be a salmonella-palooza. Worse, if you cook it long enough such that the stuffing is safe to eat, the bird will be overcooked. 5. Pull the turkey when your thermometer reads 148-155 Fahrenheit - as you let the bird rest under an aluminum foil tent, "carryover cooking", as it's called, will bring the temperature up to the USDA recommended 160-165 Fahrenheit.

I feel very perplexed on the GTA Trilogy and was pretty shocked with the negative consensus on it. I don’t really disagree with anything the guys said. There certainly are some weird glitches that pop up “occasionally”, but I am overall pretty happy with the trilogy thus far. I played them originally, and on the PS4 releases maybe a year ago. GTA III was nearly unplayable. Respectfully, I don’t think a lot of people remember how rough on the edges these games were. I find the new trilogy very playable, nostalgic, and have been having a good time. I hope they fix any issues so everyone can enjoy it as much as I have.

I agree on the PS4 point; I played GTA3 when released as a "PS2 Classic," and it was shocking.

Walker Simmons

I can't believe they released a PS2 GTA remaster that constantly drops below 60fps. So lazy. Why did Mafia 1 remake get 100 times the amount of love and care than GTA?

Zack Fair

Colin,about what you said about mash potato not been reused, that's not true. There is a dish in the uk called bubble and squeak and its really good

KomakiKhaos

I remember when GTA 3 released it blew my mind of what a game can do

Let me tell you the good news about Cornish game hens

Nothing better than a good Turkey sandwich on boxing day.
