Recent RPG related news stories are very briefly hit upon at the top of the show this week. The 360 release of Monster Hunter and the American release of Persona 3 Portable being the more notable ones.
Before the bigger RPG release of the month is discussed the crew take some time to talk about Sands of Destruction on the DS. “Odd” seems to be the general feeling Jeremy and Kat get from the game, with an apparently broken battle system that is often based on pure luck.
The bulk of the show is taken up by a surprisingly spoiler free segment about Mass Effect 2. There are some minor things here and there. Mostly relating to relationships with characters and some minor events that occur when importing your save from the first game. The discussion mostly focuses on the changes made from the first game and how the decisions you transfer over effect the events in the sequel.
Covered games and topics: Monster Hunter, Persona 3 Portable, Valkyria Chronicles 2, Sands of Destruction, Mass Effect 1 & 2
Jeremy, Kat, Thierry, and Mike Nelson touch briefly on the weirdness of Sands of Destruction before embarking on an hour-long examination of Mass Effect 2. (Spoiler material is limited strictly to incidental, non-plot-related matters, because we love you.)
