Listen "AggroChat #522 - What Makes a Crossover?"
Episode Synopsis
Featuring: AmmosArt, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers out there who might be listening to our show. We are down an Ash and a Grace and have an under-the-weather Kodra, but push on. We start off with Bel asking the question: What is the bare minimum required for something to be called a crossover in a game? Kodra shares his thoughts about his playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 and how it gives the impression of time pressure, but that there really is not any. This branches off into a whole discussion about imaginary time pressure and actual hard clocks in games. Weirdly, this also then branches off into a discussion about how "sexytime" is handled in games. In a more pure gaming experience, Tam shares his thoughts about the wildly successful Burrows and Badgets. Bel talks about rolling a Gauntlet character in the Sir Gog led Path of Exile league and hitting a hard stop in Act 8. Finally, we talk a bit about Dune Awakening and then attempt to explain the Dune universe to Kodra. Topics Discussed: What Constitutes a Crossover in a Video Game? Diablo IV x Berserk Collaboration Cyberpunk 2077 and the implication of time pressure. Actual Time Pressure vs Imagined Sexytime in Gaming Burrows and Badgers Sir Gog's Soft Gauntlet in Path of Exile Dune: Awakening Beta Hopes Explaining Dune to Kodra
