Mr. X argues Elden Ring's DLC shouldn't be Game of the Year because it's an expansion.

This episode is the season three finale of the Otaku Jump Podcast, hosted by Soul with regular crew members Mr. X, Omega Trunks, and Eisen. They review nominees for The Game Awards 2024 and discuss recent entertainment news. The hosts provide their personal picks across various Game Awards categories, predicting winners like *Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree* for Game of the Year and *Grand Theft Auto VI* for Most Anticipated Game. They also cover the performance of *Black Myth: Wukong*, the inclusion of *Stellar Blade* for best score, and debate categories like best ongoing game between *Destiny 2* and *Final Fantasy XIV*. The conversation shifts to the film *Gladiator 2*, which Soul rates as a six out of ten, feeling it couldn't match the original's stakes. They discuss Denzel Washington confirming a role in the unannounced *Black Panther 3*, with the crew speculating on the film's success without Chadwick Boseman. News includes *Virtua Fighter 5* finally coming to Steam and reports that Sony is facing difficulties attempting to purchase From Software's parent company. The director of the upcoming *Kraven the Hunter* film is quoted pleading with fans to give the movie a chance following Sony's Spider-Man Universe missteps like *Morbius*. A surprising claim is that the *Splinter Cell* movie starring Tom Hardy, in development since 2012, has been officially canceled by a producer who called it "one of the ones that got away." The hosts examine the 2024 worldwide box office rankings, noting *Inside Out 2* in first place and expressing shock at *Kung Fu Panda 4* and *Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire*'s high performance. Memorable moments include Trunks inventing a "stand ability" for Soul involving algorithm control and the group joking that a nominated content creator could be a 40-year-old man in a basement. The tone is casual and conversational, filled with inside jokes and candid, often humorous opinions on games and movies. Listeners who enjoy informal group discussions predicting award show outcomes and reviewing pop culture news will appreciate this episode. Those seeking deeply researched analysis or a structured, serious critique of the industry might find it less engaging.
