AggroChat #186 – Games of the Year 2017

May 21, 2019January 7, 2018 by AggroChat

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

After our long holiday break we return to record the 2017 Games of the Year show. This time around we have sixteen games to talk about. When you get six hosts and ask them what their favorite games were for a calendar year… you are going to get a bunch of answers. Traditionally in the past we have split this into two shows, but this year we recorded it in one go for a show that weighs in a little over 2 hours long. It was a great year for gaming and as always we would love to hear what our listeners favorite picks were.

Games Discussed

Horizon: Zero Dawn
Persona 5
FFXIV: Stormblood
Super Mario Odyssey
Destiny 2
The Sexy Brutale
Hollow Knight
Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Mass Effect: Andromeda
Night in the Woods
Okami HD

Through the Ages
Warhammer 40,000 – 8th Edition

Mixed Bag of Honorable Mentions

AggroChat #174 – Old School IPX/SPX

May 21, 2019September 24, 2017 by AggroChat

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Thalen

Tonight we are a bit out of sorts since we are once again down two people… and for the most part have been playing games that will ultimately end up in a game club show. This leads to one of the more meandering shows we have recorded in a really long time where we transition from topic to topic without really announcing the leaps. This was also one of the harder shows to name so I picked one random snippet of obscure discussion from the middle of the show. The show starts with me varying my normal announcing order… and it just sorta continues going awkwardly from there. Enjoy!

Topics Discussed

Through The Ages
Fantasy Strike
Pokken Tournament
Tangle Deep
Old School DOS Gaming
Guild Wars 2 Content Messaging
Games Wasting Our Time
Dragonquest
Warriors Games

AggroChat #173 – Vampire Pirate Dinosaurs

May 21, 2019September 17, 2017 by AggroChat

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, and Kodra

Tonight we are down both a Thalen and a Tam and get off on some meandering topics. We start off with some discussion about the Final Fantasy XIV Rising event that just finished and the introduction of the cheap dungeon. From there Belghast gets pretty deep in the woods talking about infusion mechanics and Destiny 2. We branch off from there into a discussion that is really hard to describe. Functionally we were having a chat about MMOs and whether or not the devs are obligated to provide a uniform experience for all players and all activities in a game. This branches out into a bunch of directions from the PVP/PVE debate to how uneven some of the artifact weapon quests felt in World of Warcraft Legion. Kodra talks a bit about his recent journey into the iOS port of one of his favorite Vlaada Chvatil games… Though the Ages. Ashgar gives us some updates on his experience playing through Monster Hunter Stories and we delve a bit into the new Magic the Gathering expansion Ixalan.
