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
