Aggronaut #445 – Mushroom Go Boom

August 6, 2023 by Belghast

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, and Tamrielo

We have a pretty small group this week as we are down a Kodra, Ammo, and Thalen for various assorted reasons. We start off the show with Tam talking about Viewfinder a bit which winds its way to Bel talking about the coin pusher indie Clockwork Owl. Grace has been playing a lot of XVI and we talk about the Giant Kaiju Battles that take place when two Eikons fight. Bel got into the Palia beta this week and he talks a bit about what feels like Stardew Valley the MMO. Many of us stopped playing whatever we were playing this week with the launch of Baldur’s Gate III, so we spend a bit talking about that game in largely general terms. This leads to a discussion of JRPGs and CRPGs and how they are generally telling stories in very different ways. We close out with a few topics and Bel shares that he no longer has concerns about Path of Exile II.

Topics Discussed

Viewfinder
Clockwork Owl
FFXVI Giant Kaiju Battles
Palia Beta
Baldurs Gate III
JRPGs vs CRPGS/WRPGS
Path of Exile II Updates

We start off the show with Ash talking about playing through Wandersong. From there Thalen talks about his experience with Lost Words, and Tam dives into a discussion about how Far Cry does a shockingly good job with its cultural experience. From there we talk about Final Fantasy XIV Fan Fest and the announcement for the Dawntrail Expansion. Then we talk a bit about the news coming out of ExileCon with Path of Exile II. We also discuss the changes coming to the first game with 3.22 and the Trail of the Ancestors League. Finally, we wrap things up with a discussion about Dave the Diver again and how it is this weird showcase for how to make an excellent mobile game… even though it isn’t one.
