E43 - We Need to Talk About Mass Effect 3’s DLCs
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week on The Kaito and Red Show, we dive into the latest gaming news and video game discussions, including why players choose consoles over PC and why full-price games are becoming harder to sell in today’s industry.
We also talk about the surprise Star Fox Direct and discuss whether a 20-hour campaign could hurt 007 First Light.
On the games front, Red needs to have a serious word with Kaito about the Mass Effect 3 DLCs after a listener email revealed he had no idea what he was actually playing. We’re finally nearing the end of Mass Effect 3 and will wrap up the journey next episode. Meanwhile, Kaito finished Fire Emblem Engage and unexpectedly jumped into Mario & Luigi: Brothership, a game Red never touched.
For this week’s Question of the Week, we discuss our favorite video game controllers and what really matters in controller design. Kaito’s answer left Red a bit speechless.
