AggroChat #552 – Games of the Year Show 2025 – Part One

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen
Hey Folks! It is that time again, time to roll over into a new season, and time to record our massive two-part games of the year show.  As we roll into Season 13, we have a minor revision to our lineup and two shows stacked with fifteen games each.  As is our tradition, the list was divided into two parts, and the more votes a title got, the later in the show it appeared. It was a great year for gaming, but also a year where we were constantly getting distracted by the next big thing coming down the pipe.  While we played a lot of games… we did not necessarily FINISH a lot of games.

Topics Discussed:

  • Slormancer
  • Sunderfolk
  • Monster Hunter Wilds
  • Hell Clock
  • Grimshire
  • Mercenaries of Trarthus
  • Final Fantasy Tactics
  • Digimon Story: Time Stranger
  • Soulstone Survivors
  • Ball x Pit
  • Guild Wars 2 Fractal Incursion
  • Xenoblade Chronicles X Def. Edition
  • Dispatch
  • Destiny Rising
  • Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

AggroChat #541 – Seeking Trikora

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Tamrielo, and Thalen
We had a pretty meandering show where we thought we ran out of topics… and then suddenly remembered a few more at the very end.  We start with talking about Grace and Bel’s adventures in All Ikora PVPVE nonsense with Destiny Rising.  From there, Grace talks about the full release of Slime Rancher 2, and Ammo some adventures in Mathematics with the Final Fantasy Tactics remake.  Xbox seems like it is cooked as they continue their trend of raising the price on everything, this time with Game Pass. Bel talks about revisiting the MySpace 1.0 era with an almost one-for-one clone called SpaceHey. Tam shares some thoughts about why Rise of Ronin did not land for him, but Ghost of Yotei absolutely has.  Bel has popped back into New World and was shocked to find some pretty significant updates to the game.  Then things go off the rails a bit, and we eventually talk about Hades 2 and the Electronic Arts sale to the Saudi Public Investment Fund.

Topics Discussed:

  • Destiny Rising Only Ikora Edition
  • Slime Rancher 2 Release
  • Final Fantasy Tactics
  • Xbox Price Hikes
  • SpaceHey
  • Rise of the Ronin
  • Ghost of Yotei
  • New World Aeternum
  • Hades 2
  • Electronic Arts Sale
