CORE - Core Gaming for Core Gamers

Edit: in the most recent podcast Beau whose boomer hands can’t seem to get timing right with slow fingers said about Clair Obscur, “they didn’t think about their game.” This guy rails against corporate AAA games but when it comes to indies he sounds like AAA lover. Seriously, the show would be so much better without him. He’s a dude who acts like a know it all, and it’s lame. ——- Long time listener, but when Beau gets on a subject he repeats himself and interrupts the other hosts. It’s annoying. Just make the point and move on or let the hosts respond. Adding: I had to bounce off this. Podcast. I love Jon and Scott, but Beau brings this podcast down. He goes on and on, spoils games, repeats himself, and in general comes off as a know it all curmudgeon. It’s too bad. I just can’t take Beau anymore.

Leave the politics out of it please

I’ve been listening to Scott’s podcasts since way back during the original Instance podcast. It’s time to part ways, though. First, Beau is painful to listen to. Overruns the other hosts, doesn’t even pay attention to what they’re talking about sometimes, gives spoilers during reviews, and doesn’t even know what he’s talking about half the time. Second, any feedback given to the show on other forums that isn’t “great show!” is met with disdain from the hosts. Now, that may be par for the course elsewhere, but there used to be a community feeling here, and unless you’re someone who types regularly live during the show or is constantly talking in the discord, no matter how long you’ve been around, the general feeling conveyed is “don’t like it, don’t listen.” Even if the feedback is rational and reasonable. Third, the weird perverted discussions have only gotten weirder. I’m not a prude or anything, but I listen for video game discussion, not jokes about male members and bodily fluids. So, okay then. I guess I won’t listen anymore. I do wish Scott and Co. continued success but there’s a limited amount of time in the week and now better things to listen to.

One of the few Frogpants Network shows I am not a fan of. Core is a shell of a show that was originally about Heroes of The Storm (hence the name Core), that has now become a show about “core gaming”… I understand that HotS is down for the count, but this show could use a reboot and a name change. Look elsewhere for your “core” gaming podcast. Do yourself a favor and listen to play retro instead.
