Tonight we are back with the whole crew. We start off the show talking about how Secrets of Grindea, a game that we did an early gameclub show about…  has FINALLY launched out of Early Access. From there we talk about Last Epoch some more as Kodra was out last week and has much to say about explosions.  We also discussed building different characters and how the game rewards them.  Bel attempts a Tier list but gets shut down as he is the only one who still prefers Path of Exile. Finally, Tam and Ammo share their early thoughts about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

  • Secrets of Grindea Launched
  • Last Epoch
    • Kodra Returns and Has Thoughts
    • The joy of building new characters

AggroChat #459 – An Elegy for Pohx

Featuring: Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen

Hey Folks! We are down basically the front half of the alphabet for this show, but the remaining four of us end up recording a deceptively long episode.  Path of Exile revealed the details of the Affliction League and we had an awful lot to say about that.  We talk through one of the biggest meta-shakeups in the game’s history.  Bel also picks a fight with Kodra apparently when he called Guild Wars 2 more of an ARPG than an MMO.  It all resolves peacefully however as we realize those judgments are based on different points of reference.  We close out the show with Tam talking about some of the interesting choices being forced in Star Citizen.

Topics Discussed:

  • Path of Exile
    • Affliction League
    • Meta Shake-Up
    • Death of Righteous Fire
    • Ultimatum Returns
    • Goodbye Metamorph
  • Guild Wars 2 as ARPG
    • Kodra wants to fight Bel
    • Different points of reference
  • Star Citizen
    • Forcing Interesting Choices

AggroChat #442 – Cute Fish and Eldritch Horror

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, and Tamrielo

Hey Folks! This week we are down a Thalen which bumps a topic that we bumped last week, but whatever we have more! Bel starts off the show with a discussion about Blaugust coming soon and how the changes in the social media landscape are introducing it to more people.  From there we talk about the One of One Ring search being over, which dives into a discussion about whether or not the Sol Ring being an auto-include is good or not. Kodra has been using the SteamDeck as a primary travel computer and this works shockingly well.  We talk about the weird game that is Dave the Diver and then branch off into a discussion about whether or not Pizza Tower is actually good.  Tam shares some nostalgia of revisiting the Battlezone ‘98 Remaster and how it is a type of RTS that never really had its day.  Finally, Kodra and Ash share some of their progress in Four Job Fiesta as it is nearing the end of that event.

Topics Discussed:

  • Blaugust is Coming
  • 2 Million Dollar Card Found
  • Debate about Magic the Gathering “Auto Includes”
  • SteamDeck as a Primary Machine
  • Dave the Diver
  • Pizza Tower is Good?
  • Battlezone ‘98
  • Four Job Fiesta

AggroChat #433 – Nanite Preservationists

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, and Tamrielo

Hey Folks! This week we have Ammo back and talk about Honkai Star Rail or at least our early impressions.  Grace talks a bit about Horizon Forbidden West and the Burning Shores expansion.  We discuss a better FTL in This Means Warp, and that Vampire Survivors has released a DLC.  Kodra and Ash talk about how if everyone dies but the Tank, you can still win with Middara and this leads to some random discussion of MMORPG.  Tam is the only one of us who has experienced any Redfall so we talk a bit about it and the community reactions.  Lastly we sort of slide into a discussion about Guild Wars 2 without really meaning to.

Topics Discussed:

  • Honkai Star Rail
  • Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores
  • This Means Warp
  • Vampire Survivors DLC
  • If Everyone but the Tank is Dead It’s Still a Win.
    • More fun with Middara
