Good Morning Folks! This week we had one topic dangling from the previous week so we started out with some discussion about Ravenswatch and their interesting take on the action roguelike genre.  From there Bel and Grace share their thoughts about Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred and how Blizzard largely missed the mark with the story, but that the game is in a pretty good mechanical state otherwise.  From there Tam shares his experiences with the new Rogue Trader CRPG DLC Void Shadows.  Then we wrap things up by talking about UFO 50 a game about a video console from an alternate reality…  and how interesting some of the takes on 8-bit gaming are.  We also talked a bit about the creativity of that era and how it had not really returned until the Indie explosion enabled by Steam.

 

Topics Discussed:

  • Ravenswatch

  • Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred Expansion

    • What they did wrong

    • What they got right

  • Rogue Trade Void Shadows DLC

  • UFO 50

  • Misremembering Games from the 80s

Hey Folks! We start the show with a quick discussion about Path of Exile, and how we are now two months into a League, a position where things would normally be dead…  and that the Currency Exchange is still hopping.  This leads to a secondary discussion about Kodra’s woes as he attempts to do the Merchant Guild thing in the Last Epoch.  From there Bel talks about Witchfire with its Hexen meets Destiny meets Hades PVE extraction shooter gameplay. Bel also got an invite to Soulframe Preludes the next game from Warframe maker Digital Extremes and shares some of his early impressions.  From there we dive into the Magic the Gathering Commander situation with controversial card bannings, death threats, and Wizards of the Coast yoinking control of the format away from the players.  Tam shares his thoughts about playing Yazeba’s Bed and Breakfast and Thalen his early thoughts about playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
