In Episode 3 of the Dual Comm Podcast, we dive into the ultimate holiday gaming guide! From Steam Winter Sale steals like Celeste and Mass Effect Legendary Edition to must-play Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox titles, we've got something for every gamer this season. We also tackle the concept of replay value: What makes a game worth revisiting, and how do we decide when it’s time for another run? Plus, we explore why more gamers are watching content about games rather than playing them and share thoughts on remasters done right (Legacy of Kain, anyone?). Finally, we discuss the collapse of xDefiant and whether free-to-play shooters can ever dethrone the big players. Join us for another chill discussion! Thanks for all your support on this show and have a wonderful holiday and New Year!
