AggroChat #502 – One Engrossing Read

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

Hey Folks! We had a show where we were not certain we were going to record… and then suddenly essentially had everyone but Ashgar.  Bel has been revisiting Starfield and talks about what a weirdly offputting game it is.  From there Bel and Grace talk about their experiences with Dungeon Clawler which is essentially Peglin but with a Claw machine instead of Pachinko.  Kodra has ventured forth into Veilguard and finds the pacing and structure a bit odd, so we talk about that and how it contrasts with the only Dragon Age game he has ever played, Origins. Tam talks about all of the stuff that has been going on this year in Star Citizen and how the free-fly event is less spectacular than previous outings.  Tam also shares his experiences with Stars Reach Alpha and how he is not entirely certain what that game is trying to be.

Topics Discussed:

  • Starfield is Offputting
  • Dungeon Clawler
  • Veilguard Structure
  • Star Citizen’s 2024
  • Stars Reach Alpha

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

Hey Folks! We are back after a week off last week due to too many being out. When we do one of those weeks missed we have a truly stupid number of topics to discuss, and this week is no exception.  We start off talking a little bit about Xenoblade Chronicles X getting a Switch release date, and Utopia Must Fall the game that you get when you make Missile Command a Roguelike.  Related we also talk a bit about Nodebuster which is going for a somewhat similar thing.  Bel and Grace talk about their experiences with Wayfinder, a game that completely changed its business model from freemium cash grab to buy the box. Tam talks about an interesting situation of being in a deeply collaborative “competition” and how cool those moments are. Ash shares his thoughts about Windblown the new co-op ARPG from the folks behind Dead Cells.  Tam shares his thoughts about I Am Your Beast and Kodra in a bit more detail about Tactical Breach Wizards.  Bel talks about his recent adventures in Return of Reckoning, a fan-run Warhammer Online server that itself has been up and running for a decade now after the official game closed down in 2013.

Topics Discussed:

  • Xenoblade Chronicles X Switch Announcement
  • Utopia Must Fall
  • Nodebuster
  • Wayfinder
  • Competitions that Aren’t
  • Windblown
  • I Am Your Beast
  • Tactical Breach Wizards
