Unskippable Dialogue

About Unskippable Dialogue

Unskippable Dialogue is an Irish gaming podcast about the games we can’t stop thinking about long after the credits roll. Every week, we break down new releases, revisit cult classics, and argue (politely… mostly) about what works, what doesn’t, and why some games deserve a second chance. Expect honest video game reviews, development stories worth telling, and conversations that drift naturally from indie oddities to blockbuster misfires. We’re big on context, allergic to hype, and not afraid to admit when nostalgia is doing the heavy lifting. If you’re into gaming podcasts that value curiosity over clickbait, and you enjoy a bit of sarcasm with your save files, this is the show for you. No hot-take farming. No influencer energy. Just thoughtful chat, questionable opinions, and the occasional boss fight we absolutely overthought. Plug in. Don’t skip the dialogue. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

   066 - Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Review: 60 Hours, Master Rank, and a Game Nobody’s Playing

   Conor has put 60 hours into Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, the 4v4 Marvel fighting game from Arc System Works (the Dragon Ball FighterZ and Guilty Gear people). He’s reached Master rank; he’s roughly 1,500th in the world, and he thinks it might be one of the best fighting games ever made. He also thinks it’s dying, and this week he takes Pearse through why. We get into how the game actually works (four characters, one shared health bar, and an assist system that turns into a very sweaty active-tag meta at the top), why bronze to silver is miserable, why gold to Vibranium is some of the most fun Conor has ever had in a game, and the Ms Marvel strategy that got him to Master without ever really learning a second character. Plus the Deadpool tell, why everyone in Master plays Doom, Blade, Magik and Spider-Man, and the PSN opponent who thought Conor was teabagging him. Then the sad bit. A broken PC launch, a PSN account requirement locking out whole countries, cross-play that doesn’t hold up, and a 10-year support promise that looks shaky when the Steam player count is in double digits. Conor’s verdict on whether it survives 2027, which DLC he wants (Winter Soldier, Juggernaut, Odin), and the one word he gives it anyway. Also in this episode: the Malfoid art trend taking over Conor’s phone, Kingdom Hearts IV and Star Wars, Splatoon 3 and Ocarina of Time on the way, and some indie dev interviews lined up.

   065 - Little Kitty, Big City: The Cosy Cat Game You Can Beat in an Afternoon

   It's Miss Kitty's first birthday in the house, so this week Pearse takes Conor through Little Kitty, Big City, the cosy open-world cat game from Double Dagger Studio. You're a black cat who tumbles off a high-rise balcony, and all you want is to get home. To do that, you'll need fish, a lot of shinies, and a bit of help from a crow, a mad scientist tanuki and a very stressed dad duck. We get into why it's nothing like Stray (no matter what the internet tells you), the Untitled Goose Game joy of tripping people up and nicking their bagels, 64 hats to collect, nap spots, and how a Valve veteran who worked on Half-Life 2 and Portal 2 ended up making one of the chillest games around. It's a short one, a lovely palate cleanser, and it's still getting free updates two years on. Is it worth the price? Pearse has thoughts. Spoiler warning for the ending, which we absolutely loved. Also in this episode: a Cuphead music box, the AI cat musician that fooled Pearse, the funniest Lionel Hutz moment in The Simpsons, a Hit and Run remake rumour, Conor finishing 13 Sentinels, Longlegs, and our Halloween plans (House of the Dead, anyone?).

   064 - Ocarina of Time Remake, Metroid Ravenous & Final Fantasy VII Revelation: Nintendo Direct and State of Play Reactions | Ep. 64

   It's a news one this week. Pearse and Conor dig into Nintendo's two-day Direct double-header and the latest State of Play, starting with the big one: the Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct and the Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2. Conor is forced to revise his all-time trailer rankings, we debate the new art style (and whether Star Fox's character models deserve the same defence), and lose it a little over the thought of a fully orchestrated soundtrack. Plus: a proper jump button, full camera control, humming into the mic, and why that "Press A to jump" tutorial font has to go. From Wednesday's Direct, Metroid Ravenous steals the show as a follow-up to Dread, and Samus has never looked cooler. We also get into open-world Kirby, Star Fox's new battle mode, Persona 4 Revival and Persona 6 on Switch 2, the Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4 remakes, The Witcher 3 remaster and the return of Professor Layton. Over on State of Play: Zach Cregger's Resident Evil film, whether the PS5 generation has been a bit of a snooze, and a long, loving deep dive into Final Fantasy VII Revelation. An "open planet", a new job system, transmog, and a Knights of the Round fight that was sent back for being too easy. Conor has never been more excited for a game. Pearse still hasn't finished Rebirth. Something has to give. Also in this episode: GTA VI at 30fps, Metal Gear Solid 4 memories, Weapons vs Barbarian, and a framed Final Fantasy VII giveaway on the way. New to the show?
