AggroChat #312 – A Whole New World

August 30, 2020 by Belghast

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

Tonight we are back after having a week off due to scheduling. Bel is super excited to talk about Amazon’s New World, which finally leaves NDA. He goes into a deep dive of his experiences so far with the assorted systems of the game. From there we have a reasonable segue into a discussion about Guild Wars 2 and getting used to the WvW pvp system. We also talk a bit about other games like Final Fantasy XIV and how it handles PVP. We have a random aside where Bel talks about how he tends to avoid using mounts in Open World games, and finally Ash talks about how he has come to peace with the Blue Mage in FFXIV.

Topics Discussed:

Amazon’s New World
- Deep Dive into Systems
Guild Wars 2 WvW System
- Final Fantasy XIV PVP modes
Frog Fractions ???
- When a DLC is a new game
Bel Ignores Mounts in Open World Games
- Ghosts of Tsushima

Making Peace with the Blue Mage
- How Ash Learns to Accept the Systems

AggroChat #301 – Sega is Bad at Launchers

May 31, 2020 by Belghast

Featuring: Ammo, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo and Thalen… also featuring special guest Nephsys

Tonight we welcome our good friend Nephsys along for this ride because she more or less got kidnapped into the podcasting channel. We start the show with some discussion about being back in Final Fantasy XIV and the current event where they bribe us to do unpopular content. One of those content types is Rival Wings, and Bel talks about how it is PVP that he actually enjoys. From there we break into a discussion inspired by a conversation that happened while watching the cutscenes of Praetorium, which is what games would you like to forget so you could experience them fresh again for the very first time? We talk for a bit about the afterglow of watching your friends get into something that you really liked. Finally we nestle into the main topic of the week which is the somewhat awkward North American PC launch of Phantasy Star Online 2.

Topics Discussed

Mogrocks for Mounts in FFXIV
- Rival Wings is Fun
Forgetting a Game to Play it Fresh again
- The Afterglow of Friends Experiencing Games
Phantasy Star Online 2 NA PC Launch
- The systems within systems
- Figuring things out

AggroChat #192 – Essentials of Grind

May 21, 2019February 25, 2018 by AggroChat

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Nephsys and Tamrielo

This week we went a little off course from our normal show. In truth we are all largely playing the same games we have been playing for the last few weeks. Instead Ashgar proposed a topic where we discussed what makes a grind work in a game. This eventually devolves into a discussion of mostly Monster Hunter World because it seems to have a really great grind mechanic. We also discuss traditional JRPG grinding, MMO grinding, and a bit about why the Destiny 2 grind isn’t really working out. Tune in and grind your faces off!

Topics Discussed:

Grinding in Games

AggroChat #177 – Extreme Home Makeover

May 21, 2019October 15, 2017 by AggroChat

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo and Thalen

This is one of those weeks when we seemed to have more topics to discuss than could possibly fit in a single show. We even had to drop one for the sake of time that we will hopefully revisit in a future episode. We start the show off by talking about Shirogane Extreme mode… or the land rush for housing in the newly opened district in Final Fantasy XIV. Ash and Tam took one for the team and sacrificed sleep schedule to get us a brand new house. From there we talk about Guild Wars 2 Path of Fire expansion and some of the things we have noticed so far. Belghast talks a bit about the Iron Banner 2.0 in Destiny, and some miscellaneous discussion about how clans work. Ash and Thalen discuss Dragon Quest Heroes 2 and the Heroes game genre in general. We wrap up with a discussion on Warhammer starting with the brand new stand alone Shadespire game and then talk a bit about Warhammer 40k.
