AggroChat #482 - Roguelike Asteroids

AggroChat: Tales of the Aggronaut Podcast

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, and Tamrielo

Hey Folks! We are down essentially half our folks and as a result we have a bit shorter show than our normal fare. We start off with some discussion about Grace’s return to Final Fantasy XIV and how Bel “influenced” them into coming back. From there we talk a bit about Four Job Fiesta and how the White Mage start is REALLY rough. We dive into Nova Drift and talk about its roguelike take on Asteroids or Geometry Wars. Tam talks about his love of arcade racers and talks about playing the 2012 Need for Speed: Most Wanted and then Ash and Bel try and sell him on Forza Horizon. Tam also talks about What the Car… which is also loosely a “car game” but not really. Then we try and wrap up the show and suddenly remember that a Nintendo Direct happened and talk about some of the games showed off.

Topics Discussed:

• Bel Lures Grace back to FFXIV

• Speedrunning a Post Expansion

• Four Job Fiesta in Final Fantasy V

• White Mage Start is Awful

• Nova Drift

• Need for Speed: Most Wanted

• What the Car

• Nintendo Direct
