291: Ghost of Tsushima Legends, Star Wars Squadrons and Difficulty in Games

Ghost of Tsushima Legends is the new DLC from Sucker Punch for the single-player, open-world game. It now allows you and a friend carry out story missions and then up to 3 friends play survival missions against waves of enemies. It's a surprisingly deep experience that got all of us playing late into the night.  We also dive into Star Wars Squadrons and play through some of the single player experience there.

In our news, we talk about the finally revealed user interfaces for both PS5 and Xbox Series X. We also look at Cyberpunk's latest Night Wire revealing the cars in the game as well as fashion. We also look at what's coming for Marvel's Avengers as well as some delays that are a result of the buggy launch. We also dive into WoW and what it looks like for the future as the next expansion comes out.

Our discussion this week revolves around how YouTube and Twitch are changing the way we look at difficulty. Have they taken away our ability to be challenged or are we simply adapting to something else?
