Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pragmata with John from Gaming in the Wild
Q: How does the hacking mechanic integrate into combat, and why does it feel accessible?
The hacking is presented as a two‑layer puzzle that slows time briefly and requires simple directional inputs to connect nodes. This design lets players feel clever and in control, while gradually introducing more complex node types and strategic options as they progress.
Pragmata with John from Gaming in the Wild
Q: What does Pragmata do well in its narrative that distinguishes it from other AAA games?
The game opens with an urgent, cinematic premise and lets world‑building unfold through environmental storytelling, journals, and character interactions, which creates intrigue without heavy exposition. It also uses a strong duo dynamic between Hugh and Diana to drive the plot forward naturally.
The Game Awards 2025 Reactions!
Q: Is there any win at The Game Awards that actually means anything besides personal pride?
Only the Game of the Year award really has any impact on reality.
Episode 200!!!
Q: Where do you see AAA gaming in the next five years?
I think there will be a resurgence back to shorter, more dense games similar to what was seen in early 2000s gaming. The trend will likely emphasize smaller, quickly made games rather than vast, expensive projects.
Episode 200!!!
Q: How has your relationship with games changed as you've gotten older?
I've noticed that I get less of that immersive feeling from games as I age, making it rarer to experience something truly captivating. I'm also more willing to try various games, even those I believe I might not enjoy, and I'm more discerning about which ones to pick.
