AggroChat #505 – One Portal Woes

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

Hey Folks! We are back this week and only actually down one person which seems great for the holiday season.  This week we start off talking about Toad’s Item Factory which is a multiperson minigame in Super Mario Party Jamboree and Kodra talks about his experiences playing it with his kiddo.  From there Tam shares his experiences with Nine Sols, which is in theory a game he should like but is not quite there. Several of us have made it to the Path of Exile II Endgame and as such we discuss some of the issues with it, the most glaring being the whole One Portal Problem.  Kodra has started playing Warhammer 40,000 Martyr which is honestly prompting Bel to reinstall and check it out again.  Finally, Tam talks a bit about the major changes that have gone into Star Citizen with the opening of a whole other star system with the Pyro update.

Topics Discussed:

  • Super Mario Party Jamboree
    • Toad’s Item Factory
  • Nine Sols
  • Path of Exile II Endgame
    • Our Issues
  • Warhammer 40k Martyr
  • Star Citizen 4.0: Pyro

AggroChat #504 – You Know, For Kids

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

This week we start off with some discussion of the Video Game Trailer show…  which really should just call itself that because the “Awards” thing feels like an afterthought at this point.  Bel is excited for Witcher 4 and Dispatch, and Ash’s favorite game of all time is finally getting a Sequel.  We also are curious what sort of game Intergalactic is going to end up being and sure hope it is not a soulslike. From there Bel talks about softening his thoughts about Path of Exile II as he is probably a day out of getting to maps.  Kodra and Tam however have become significantly less charitable than last week. We also talk a bit about Caves of Qud which has actually launched now.  Then Ammo and Tam share their glowing praise of the new Indiana Jones game from Machine Games.  While it technically is a stealth game, it is also a fascist punching simulator with quirky oneliners which is also great.

Topics Discussed:

  • The Game Awards 2024
    • Lots of Trailers, Few Awards
    • The Death of ESports
  • Path of Exile II – One Week In
  • Caves of Qud
  • Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
