AggroChat #519 – Lord Orca

by
Featuring: Ammosart, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen

Hey Folks! Happy Easter to all of our listeners, since this happens to be dropping on the actual holiday. We talk a bit this week about how we recorded last week on the eleventh anniversary of this show…  without realizing it until far too late to discuss.  We start off the show talking about the second season of Last Epoch and the Tombs of the Erased expansion.  This expansion is largely focused on the endgame, and for the last year, they have apparently been cooking because it is amazing.  After that, Thalen discusses his playthrough of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes and how it reminds him of 7th Guest…  but reasonable.  We wrap up the show with some more discussion of Blue Prince, and that apparently no one has seemingly solved the game yet in the broader community.

Topics Discussed:

  • Last Epoch Tombs of the Erased
    • This Season is amazing
    • Endgame Changes
  • Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
  • Blue Prince is Still Unsolved

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

Hey Folks! We were out last week but, as such, came back with a stacked list of topics to discuss.  We start off talking about Path of Exile II and the bad launch patch for Dawn of the Hunt.  We also talk about the interview between Zizaran and the Devs and the resulting updates.  We then dive into some discussion about an amazing-looking season for Tombs of the Erased in Last Epoch coming next week and all of the new features.  Kodra and Tam share their experiences with Blue Prince, which is a puzzle exploration game that highly suggests you keep track of some real-world notes.  Bel discusses his thoughts on the Minecraft Movie and how it splits the line between brilliance and trash and ends up providing a pretty great time. Ash has restarted Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX, and Thalen talks about the Hugo Award Nominations.  Sudokucon has happened, and Kodra shares how the event went.  We also have a brief revisiting of Xenoblade Chronicles X, which Ammo and Ash are still playing through.

Topics Discussed:

  • Path of Exile II League Issues
  • Last Epoch Tombs of the Erased
  • Blue Prince
  • Minecraft Movie
  • Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX
  • Hugo Award Nominations
  • Sudokucon
  • Xenoblade Chronicles X

by
Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen

Hey Folks! We are down a Grace this week, but push on with several topics.  This week, Path of Exile II revealed the Dawn of the Hunt league, and we talked a bit about how it did not really resolve some of the problems we had with the game.  Bel also talks a bit about pushing up his third level 100 in the Legacy of Phrecia Event.  We then discuss the very last Switch based Nintendo Direct because next week we are getting one announcing the Switch 2.  Bel shares his experience playing the aggressively British fallout-like called Atomfall, Tam shares his initial thoughts about Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and Kodra shares his struggles with more competitive Chess.  Finally, we have a bit of a revisit of Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Topics Discussed:

  • Path of Exile II – Dawn of the Hunt Reveal
  • Bel Gets Third level 100 in Legacy of Phrecia Event
  • Last Switch Nintendo Direct
  • Atomfall
  • Assassin’s Creed Shadows
  • Kodra’s Chess Struggles

AggroChat #516 – Cooperative Design

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

Hey Folks! We were out last week because Bel’s world was burning and all of the smoke was killing his lungs. This week we start off with a discussion about the Eleventh Hour Games and Grinding Gear Games situation as GGG pulls a Blizzard and ambushes the Last Epoch Season 2 launch.  From there we talk about the chill tea shop gameplay of Wanderstop, telling us that sometimes it is a good idea to stop and relax for a bit.  Tam and Kodra played through Wanderstop and talked about how it has evolved the already great co-op gameplay of It Takes Two with a much better story.  Ash and Ammo talk about diving into Xenoblade Chronicles X as it just was re-released on Nintendo Switch.  Bel talks a bit about Gunlocked which attempts to be the Vampire Survivors of Bullethell Shooters…  and fails in interesting ways that will hopefully be addressed in the sequel.  Bel also shares his initial thoughts from the Titans Quest II playtest, and Tam shares his thoughts about what he is seeing about Dune Awakening.

Topics Discussed:

  • The EHG/GGG Situation
    • The ambush scheduling of Path of Exile II
    • The reschedule of Last Epoch Season 2
  • Wanderstop
  • Split Fiction
  • Xenoblade Chronicles X
  • Gunlocked / Boons and Burdens
  • Titan Quest II
  • Dune Awakening
