From there Kodra talks about his first major VR game experience with Psychonauts Rhombus of Ruin. We contemplate what the heck a Disco Elysium TV Show might look like.

Tonight we talk about how constructed Kamigawa is a challenge and how effectively there are only so many viable decks that you can build. From there we talk about Vampire Saviors a game that Bel griefed Ashgar with and he has been playing at length. Grace discovers Chronicon, a game that we would consider the perfect diablo clone… if it had reasonable graphics. Finally we dive into a long discussion about our earlier feelings about Horizon Forbidden West, a game that has in large part consumed most of the cast since its release on Friday. There is a weird diatribe about dpads and the importance of a good one as well as a quick blurb about how Psychonauts does not maybe hold up as well from a representation of mental health aspect.

One of the things about AggroChat is we very often rarely get into a game when it is new, which leads to us putting several titles on our games of the year list that are several years old. This week Belghast finally got around to playing Control and is now trying to hook everyone else on it. From there we talk a bit about the cyberpunk state of Guild Wars 2 End of Dragons and how Cantha is now a high tech kingdom. Keeping the cyberpunk theme going we talk about Kamigawa Neon Dynasty. Ash talks a bit about Trials of Mana and their New Game Plus system that allows you to easily see how the OTHER party would have finished the game. From here we roll into a discussion about the most recent controversy going on with Star Citizen. Then we wrap things up with a few quick topics like how Elden Ring might have a serious security vulnerability. Then Kodra talks for a bit about Kaizo Mario and how maybe things aren’t as difficult as folks seem to think they are. Topics Discussed
