We hurt the ones we love.  This week we realize while talking about Zelda that when we talk about games on AggroChat we tend to often times dwell on the negative aspects.  This has been true with FFXIV and World of Warcraft, and apparently also extremely true with Zelda.  Last week I was the only one who had spent any time in Hyrule and this week both Kodra and Tam have as well.  We get off on some odd tangents during the night, like a discussion at the start of the show about Gas Station Food.  Largely however we talk Zelda, the Switch, and Amiibos.  We also have some final thoughts discussion about Horizon Zero Dawn and Final Fantasy XV in a non-spoilery manner.  We talk a bit about the upcoming Mass Effect Andromeda and our experiences with the limited time trial version of the game.

Topics Discussed: Gas Station Food – Zelda Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch – Nintendo Wii U – Amiibos – Horizon Zero Dawn Final Thoughts – Mass Effect Andromeda – Final Fantasy XV Thoughts

It always feels like we have a bunch of stuff to talk about the week after we record a game club show.  This time is no difference given that a bunch of games released in the meantime…  namely Horizon Zero Dawn and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.  Grace has fallen into a deep Horizon shaped hole and various others have been playing it off and on as well.  We talk about how the game is really good at making you feel competent.  Similarly Belghast has been playing Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild… and talks about how that game is coming from a vastly different philosophy and is in turn good at making you feel weak and insignificant.  We talk about our recent indoctrination into the world of Gundam building, and finish off the show with some Mario Maker discussion and namely Kaizo style level design.

Topics Discussed: Mass Effect: Andromeda – Horizon Zero Dawn – Zelda Breath of the Wild – Competing Philosophy of Both Games – Building Gundams – Mario Maker – Kaizo Mario

AggroChat #81 – Secrets of Grindea Show

aggrochat81

 

This month marks our ninth AggroChat game club title, and we have officially gone full circle looping back around to Belghast.  He chose a deeply nostalgic title that draws in the feelings of Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Secrets of Mana and wraps them up in a modern package.  Secrets of Grindea is a charming early access title, and it marks quite possibly one of the more positively reviewed games we have done in this time.  The only real complaints that we had… was that there wasn’t more of it yet.  So join us as we talk through out thoughts about the game, and also queue up the November/December game of the month…  Fallout 4
