Haha, thought you would like that. And my only problem with an RE3 remake being next is that it would be too familiar to the RE2 remake. I want something different first and THEN return to Raccoon City with 3. That's just me, though. I'm sure RE3 is definitely next on the remake agenda. And that would be cool.

Yup, it actually is. They said that if there's enough demand for it like there was for RE2, they would remake RE3, so yeah, it's very much in consideration by Capcom.

I mean, if they're going to remix it all up, then it doesn't necessarily have to be too familiar. I don't know, if they say they'll remake RE3, then in terms of game flow, it would certainly have to follow relatively the same beats as the original, just like RE2, that's what people will expect.
But like I keep saying, I'm pretty much considering RE2 '19 to be a new game, I mean, you certainly can't just plop it into the story and say, "Yup, it's the same world, where Code Veronica happens." The tone for Code Veronica and RE0 was already fairly inconsistent with RE 1, 2, and 3, as far as how over the top the villains actually are. But in comparison to this RE2, the difference is even more extreme.
Anyway, point is, it's pretty much a reboot, so for me personally, if they changed RE3 reimagining's setting a bit, or locations, or whatever, to specifically make it not as familiar, I'd be perfectly okay with it. Honestly, I just want to see Jill vs. Nemesis again. Well, I do want to see more post-pandemic Raccoon city. I mean, what we saw in RE2 was cool, but when they said "you get to see a bit more of the destroyed city", I was hoping to see more than we actually got, so to have that be a bit more extensive, would be cool. But either way, I just hope it happens, that there is that demand for it.

King of Paradise
I don't particularly need them to stay with the current story, so a story reboot would be ok with me. I would much prefer if they developed Leon and Ada's story to be more than what it is, because I really liked their story development in this remake. And I like how they were handled in RE6, as well. Yeah, a RE game with both of them as the main characters would be pretty dope. Or, like you said, an RE game where all the main characters from the first three games team up and take down Umbrella HQ as they originally envisioned would be pretty dope too. It's about time Jill gets her time to shine again. I guess we'll just have to wait and see where they go with the franchise next...
Yeah, either that, or, this had occurred to me recently. Leon was talking about stealing the G-Virus to bring proof of Umbrella's nefarious doings to the world. The final nail in the Umbrella coffin could be just that.
Like, maybe someone like Leon or Barry or whoever, goes under cover to steal evidence from Umbrella, but then a virus leak takes place, like maybe they even accidentally end up causing it. So wherever this takes place, ends up wit ha zombie infestation and some BOWs get loose, and maybe the protagonist is even infected. So you have to steal the evidence, and find the antivirus, and, of course, just survive., so the steaks that much higher. Plus that way, the scenario could still be horror based, and you're not going up against armed commandos, nor are you armed to the teeth to begin with.
Hahah, I tell you, if I were to write an RE fanfiction now, that's what I would do.

King of Paradise
Well, good news buddy: I finished Clair's A story, so go on ahead and gush about everything you want to fish about, and I'll join in, haha.

Sweet! It's weird though, hahah, if I had just finished the game for the first time, I'd gush about it like crazy, and just talk about how much I loved everything, but now that I'm on my second playthrough, it almost feels a bit unnecessary, like, we've both experienced it, so just detailing everything that happens and how awesome it is seems kinda pointless. But yeah, man, what a fantastic game. I really love everything they've done with the characters. Even Sherry is very likable, the voice actress did a fantastic job. Actually, all the Birkins were standout performances for me. I really love how cold Annette is, it's somehow makes her character more likable... I dunno, it's weird, it's just, like.... I dunno, I guess it's just good acting, both in terms of voice and animation. Her scenes are just very enjoyable to watch for me.
I also really like all the enemies. Like, I know TS said that he lamented that they dropped the spiders, but I'm happy with the changes. I can live without the spiders and, say, the crows. I mean, trying to shoot the crows with this gameplay style would be a pain in the a**.
And I really like the new Ivy enemies. That they're humans who were taken over by the infected plant. I don't know if the originals were meant to be this way, but they've always struck me as some kinds of bipedal plants without a human basis. And I definitely like this version of the Ivy monsters better. Although the original idea was done in RE Outbreak, where they had humans overgrown with plants.

Another thing that I personally really appreciated about this game is that a lot of the location changes that were made ended up closer resembling some of the locations that were designed for RE2's original version, you know, RE1.5. Certain parts of the police station, like the far end of the east hallway (right before the room where Elliot gets ripped in half), the layout of the parking garage, and the layout of the roof, with the ladder that breaks when Leon climbs down it, were very reminiscent of the scrapped locations from the original version of the game. The same is true for the part where you first fight Birkin, that whole boiler room looking area is very reminiscent of the warehouse where you first fight Birkin in RE1.5. And also, that elevator that Claire and Sherry get on, the one that Mr. X tries to pry open before he gets ******** up by Birkin, that whole scene is similar to something that happens in RE1.5. So yeah, there were a few parts that took inspiration from that version of the game, and I think that's hella cool.

King of Paradise
Haha, I don't remember that at all. But damn, we really stuck to calling RE4 that game for a long a** time, hahah.
Yeah, no, this was slightly before your time, I think. I haven't seen any posts from you yet, but that never really caught on, I guess I said that, and then I just kept referring to it as RE4.

King of Paradise
Oh wow. Ok. I'll keep that in mind for the when I return to it. Because I'm going to play Leon's B story first. Are you playing his B Story in standard?


Yup, playing it on Standard mode. Like I said, I expected to get through it with relative ease, but I've run out of ammo way more than I expected to. I actually managed to defeat Birkin (1st encounter) without too much trouble, but that was actually due to some very good aiming for his head and his eyeball. I stun locked him quite a few times, so I'm definitely not sucking at the aiming.
But yeah, there have also been times when I'm aiming at zombies with the shotgun almost at point blank range, and I don't know if I miss them, or if the shot just wasn't centered enough to do much damage to them, but I felt like I wasted quite a bit of ammo as a result.
That's really what makes Claire's scenario easier, is that the grenade launcher is a ******** force to be reckoned with. Like, you can pretty much knock anything down with a single shot, and either finish it off or give yourself the opportunity to escape, and because of its explosive nature, it's hard to even miss, if you're aiming in the enemy's general direction, but yeah, the shotgun's accuracy feels much worse, and even when I pump a few shots into a licker, it won't necessarily stumble or fall, so I still got slashed.
So yeah, maybe it's just Leon's arsenal that's causing me to not be as good at it, but like I said, there were some zombie respawns that I really wasn't expecting. I'll have to pay more attention to those patterns in future playthroughs.

Just want to re-iterate that I appreciated your drunk message, haha.

I mean, if it's not already being developed, I'm pretty sure it's locked in. And I agree, but that's even all the more reason to remake Code Veronica and place it in the world of the RE2 Remake. And yeah, I hope they do something different with the RE3 Remake as well. I don't want to return to the police station. I just want it to take place across the entirety of Raccoon City. A school, maybe? Yeah, you really didn't see that much of the destroyed city, honestly.

Haha, that all sounds good to me. As long as there's awesome gameplay and cool monsters to fight, I'm all down.

Yeah man, the game kicked absolute as*. I agree, all the voice actors did a really good job. I decently liked the new Ivy zombies, but I probably would have taken the spiders in their place, haha. However, that sewer monster was fuc*ing awesome! Was that in the original RE2? Because I don't remember it. And yeah, crows would have been annoying, so I'm glad they left them out. I really liked all the bosses as well, except perhaps the the final Mr. X fight with Leon, which was nothing more than just a bullet sponge. Clair definitely had the better end boss fight with Birkin's 4th form. However, I liked that overall Mr. X was more of a presence in Leon's campaign, so I think I preferred his campaign. That, and like I said, I really dug his and Ada's relationship, and I agree: it was bit more challenging without the grenade launcher, heh. I wish they did more with the Alligator "boss" fight, but it was still a pretty cool scene regardless. Umm, I really enjoyed the craziness of Sherry's solo section. Chief Irons was a right scary b*****d. Even more so than the Alligator, haha. The best thing about this game was easily the gore effects, though. Eviscerating zombies with guns and knives was just so God damn satisfying. I mentioned this to TS, but I really wish Mr. X could have chased you into safe zones. I think that would have really upped his terror factor. Umm, I think that's about everything I wanted to say. Fuc*ing awesome game.

Ok, maybe I'll play Clair's B scenario on Hardcore mode, and Leon's B scenario on Standard mode. Worst comes to worst, if I die enough, I can always downgrade to Standard mode, heh.

Man, RE2 was supposed to be my February game of the month, but I'm already done with it (for now), lol. I tried going back to God of War, but the last two side quests are the grind-y kind that I don't like, so I think I'm going to call it quits on that. I guess I can go back to playing Ni No Kuni 2, but I'm not really in the mood for that right now. What to do, what to do...

Just want to re-iterate that I appreciated your drunk message, haha.
Haha, thanks. Yes, it was a fantastic party, but the late stayers passed out just a tad sooner than I would have liked, so I ended up chatting with my friend from out of town for an hour... Which, I can't remember if I woke him up, or it he was being a night owl, haha. But yeah, I was hurting for a bit more nerdy conversation, so I was like, "I wonder if Chase is awake," and Facebook is dumb enough that if nobody messages you, it forgets to list you as being offline. (not just you specifically, but in general, lol).

King of Paradise
I mean, if it's not already being developed, I'm pretty sure it's locked in. And I agree, but that's even all the more reason to remake Code Veronica and place it in the world of the RE2 Remake. And yeah, I hope they do something different with the RE3 Remake as well. I don't want to return to the police station. I just want it to take place across the entirety of Raccoon City. A school, maybe? Yeah, you really didn't see that much of the destroyed city, honestly.

Well, like I said, I just want to see Jill and Nemesis. Nothing would make me happier.

A school like in RE Apocalypse? Haha. Honestly, when I heard about the orphanage in RE2, I was kind of hoping to have some children zombies, but I guess they didn't want people whining that you're killing children (even though they'd be already dead). Allowing the character to impose violence on child-shaped avatars is still not a line video games dared to cross... That I can think of. Maybe aside from something like Postal.

King of Paradise
However, that sewer monster was fuc*ing awesome! Was that in the original RE2? Because I don't remember it.
Yup, they're the somewhat redesigned G-Virus embryo monsters, like the one that popped out of Irons' chest, that's what they grow into.
In the original RE2, there was just one, and it was a boss fight:
https://youtu.be/e6TIHOdM8yM?t=5066

1:24:25 is the time code, if the link doesn't open properly.

But yeah, I really love the new design, like I said, I love how grotesque this game is, and how creatures and all that, are really gross and gory, that's what RE is about, that's what the best monsters in the franchise were like, and why I didn't like the monster designs in RE4, because I really didn't think they were all that scary with how... 'designed' they were. Anyway, different conversation for a different time (that's actually in the past), haha.

King of Paradise

And yeah, crows would have been annoying, so I'm glad they left them out. I really liked all the bosses as well, except perhaps the the final Mr. X fight with Leon, which was nothing more than just a bullet sponge. Clair definitely had the better end boss fight with Birkin's 4th form.
I'm gonna test that fight out, and see if it's possible to beat it just by biding your time, like, the way you could in RE1/Remake if you just run around at the end, Brad will be sure to drop the rocket launcher eventually regardless. It just happens a bit quicker if you do shoot him a bunch.
But I love my classic RE, and I love my Tyrants, so I liked seeing this new somewhat redesigned Tyrant.

King of Paradise
However, I liked that overall Mr. X was more of a presence in Leon's campaign, so I think I preferred his campaign. That, and like I said, I really dug his and Ada's relationship, and I agree: it was bit more challenging without the grenade launcher, heh. I wish they did more with the Alligator "boss" fight, but it was still a pretty cool scene regardless.
Honestly, I loved the Alligator segment. I was kind of hoping there would be a few more of these "run away from stuff" segments, but yeah, I certainly wouldn't have wanted to replace any of the currently existing boss fights with stuff like that exclusively.

King of Paradise
Umm, I really enjoyed the craziness of Sherry's solo section. Chief Irons was a right scary b*****d. Even more so than the Alligator, haha.
Yeah, I was a tad disappointed that there wasn't at least a brief segment where Chief Irons at least PRETENDS to be a well adjusted human being, but at the same time, I guess in a situation like Raccoon City, it would make sense that he'd drop all pretenses and embrace his dark passenger.

King of Paradise
I mentioned this to TS, but I really wish Mr. X could have chased you into safe zones. I think that would have really upped his terror factor.
Yeah, no, ******** that. If the whole time was, like, constant tension with no release, that would have gotten way too exhausting and annoying way too fast.
I mean, unless, what I think I would have preferred is that no room was out of bounds for Mr. X, so he could chase you down almost anywhere, but if you keep running away, you'd actually lose him for good, like, without having to worry about him catching up. That way, you could at least have a little respite in certain other rooms where you need to solve a puzzle or something. And then encounter him again randomly and the chase begins again, you know? But there would have to be some leeway in terms of letting you catch your breath.

King of Paradise

I guess I can go back to playing Ni No Kuni 2, but I'm not really in the mood for that right now. What to do, what to do...

Well, one of the perks for beating the game, Scenario A, then B, is unlocking Hunk's game, which was also why I recommended beating the game this way. I tried it out for the first time last night, and it's pretty difficult. I mean, as expected. I actually almost made it to the end of the minigame, but yeah, it's a gauntlet and a half. So I do want to keep trying to beat it. But yeah, I myself am about ready to give this game a bit of a break. Catch up on a couple of other things, and maybe replay some classic RE games, since it really put me in the mood.

Ahhh, gotcha. Yeah, unfortunately I crashed pretty early that day, so I couldn't engage in any late night nerd convos, haha.

Agreed. And yes, that's exactly what I was thinking, haha. And yeah, it's kind of crazy that video games still won't cross that line. Like... why? Especially in the case of zombie children.

Ohhh, I see now. Yeah, I definitely forgot about that creature in the original, but it's way more memorable in the remake, that's for sure. There's a few monsters in RE4 that terrified me with their design, or that I thought were grotesque, but that's neither here nor there, haha.

Not shooting him sounds even more boring than shooting him, so I don't think I'll be joining you on that test, haha.

Same, but not at the cost of sacrificing any other boss fights, that's for sure.

Yeah, I don't remember him being immediately crazy in the original game, but I definitely preferred this psycho version, haha. So I take it that corpse on the table was his daughter that we'll be playing as in one of the dlcs?

To each their own, but that's exactly why I loved Alien: Isolation - there was never any moment of respite. No matter what, you had to constantly stay on your toes, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I hope they do that for Nemesis, at least.

That's ok, because Hunk's game (as well as that Tofu game) is another thing I wanted to save 'til the end, so that's just even more reason for me to get excited about returning to it soon.

That's good. I caved and sold off God of War (got 14 bucks for it) and picked up the Spyro Re-Ignited Trilogy, so I'm sure that will occupy me for the rest of February. Then in March it's Spider-Man time, babyyyyy.

No worries, bro. But yeah, it was a fun party. I had, like, 14 people over. My cousin bought a big sushi tray, and I ordered pizza, it was a blast. And my friends brought some instruments and we did an acoustic performance of The Spirit Carries On, haha. It was honestly one of the best birthday parties I've ever had, which is why your presence from it was sorely missing.

King of Paradise
Agreed. And yes, that's exactly what I was thinking, haha. And yeah, it's kind of crazy that video games still won't cross that line. Like... why? Especially in the case of zombie children.

I'm not that surprised. I mean, you know how people get so offended by every little thing these days. Although you do get to tranq little kids in MGS5, hahahaha.
You know, I have to say, that's the other thing that occurred to me when playing RE2. They really upped the ante when it comes to making the game darker (in tone) and having it be serious, especially in how the characters are portrayed, and they did a fantastic job at it. And how MGS5 completely failed at it. Kojima wanted to make MGS more 'serious' and he said that's why he didn't rehire David Hayter, but, I mean, we all know that that was a bullshit excuse, but yeah, the point is that beyond the stellar mechanics and the great visuals, the story is as much over the top schlocky drivel as it has been in the worst of MGS moments. So yeah, it was just amusing to see that Capcom finally did something it set out to do better than MGS, considering how many years all those crappy RE games tried so hard to be more like MGS.

That's another very ironic twist of fate that I didn't see coming, actually, you know, reading those old forums. Like, while I was all discenchanted with RE, I kept saying, "At least I have Silent Hill, at least Konami is still an amazing company, and Kojima is amazing," etc. etc. Oh, how things have changed, hahaha. I never would have imagined back then that Konami would be a borderline dead company (in the gaming industry), after they, together with Kojima would ruin MGS, and Silent Hill would become nonexistent, while Resident Evil would make a new game that brings it back to its glorious roots.

King of Paradise
Not shooting him sounds even more boring than shooting him, so I don't think I'll be joining you on that test, haha.
Hahaha, hey, to be fair, when you shoot him, you can make him stagger, so it's not like it has no effect on him whatsoever. And unless you're playing the B scenario, you have no reason to conserve your ammo at that point anyway, so you may as well just unload on him.
Actually, that's the other thing I have yet to test. In the original RE2, if you have no ammo during that last train battle, you can just wait until Blob Birkin approaches you, and it'll actually die by itself. Now THERE's a battle that's a total sham, haha. So I need to test if the same is true in this game, but there were some things that make me think that's not the case.

King of Paradise
Yeah, I don't remember him being immediately crazy in the original game, but I definitely preferred this psycho version, haha. So I take it that corpse on the table was his daughter that we'll be playing as in one of the dlcs?
Umm, I guess. In this game, nothing at all indicated that she was actually the mayor's daughter, I don't think, if you're not familiar with the original game. But yeah, I guess for those who have played the original, we can assume that she is the mayor's daughter, so it will probably be her we play as.

King of Paradise
To each their own, but that's exactly why I loved Alien: Isolation - there was never any moment of respite. No matter what, you had to constantly stay on your toes, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I hope they do that for Nemesis, at least.
I hope they don't, that would suck. I'm glad we finally found an RE game that we can both thoroughly love, but that doesn't mean that they need to make the new Nemesis annoying for me just so you can get more of your own enjoyment, hahaha.

But in Isolation, can't you still hide in places, like lockers or whatever? At least that can give you a bit of a breath, and you don't have to worry that you're trying to figure out where to go next and the xenomorph is gonna end up chasing you.

King of Paradise
That's ok, because Hunk's game (as well as that Tofu game) is another thing I wanted to save 'til the end, so that's just even more reason for me to get excited about returning to it soon.

Well, I myself decided to take a break from RE2 for a bit. I started playing a game called "Alone With You", which is a pixel art adventure game with a premise that's a little reminiscent of SOMA. It probably wouldn't be your thing, but yeah, I met the guy who created it, back in October, so I've been meaning to check it out. And of course, see if I can get any of my own inspiration from it for future projects. I'm also using it as a bit of a graphical pallet cleanser, so once I'm done with it, I'll move onto something else that's nice and graphically robust, either Detroit or Hellblade. I'll be sure to let you know.  
PostPosted: Thu Feb 07, 2019 10:37 am
Sushi AND Pizza? Damn, my stomach would have been so happy, haha. And lol, you fuc*ing music nerds! Yeah, that does sound like it was an awesome time, and its touching to hear that my presence was missed, because I totally wish I could have come. But yeah, like I said, no matter what, I'm coming out this year. Sometime in the summer. mrgreen

I guess, but c'mon. It's a video game. Damn people. And yeah, that's pretty ironic. I still don't know how bad MGSV's story is, and I never will. The franchise ended with 4 for me. But yes, how things have changed indeed, lmao. Hopefully Silent Hill will get the resurrection it deserves and make a game that I would be interested in playing, haha. I'm no longer holding my breath for MGS, tho. We'll see how Death Stranding pans out.

Ehhhhh, lol. Every other boss battle in the game was great, tho. Especially Birkin Stages 3 and 4. And ya know, I don't think I ever played a B story in the original RE2, so I wouldn't have known about that. And I guess that means I never dealt with the original Mr. X, either. And I guess when I get around to playing the B story's of Leon and Claire, it will be the first time I battle Birkin Stage 5, so that will be pretty cool! But yeah, test that out for me, because that's another thing that just doesn't sound all that fun, lmao.

Yeah, that's why I assumed it was her daughter, because I remember that from the original game. And ok. I'm down to play as her if it means we get to experience more of crazy Irons, haha.

Hahaha, yes it does, Eric. Yes it does. Ok, how about they add an additional option where the Nemesis can you follow you anywhere? And yes, you can hide in Isolation, but it doesn't guarantee that you are safe. I remember one time I hid in air duct and thought I was safe and when I turned around I saw the Xenomorph crawling towards me and I pretty much shat myself, lmao.

Yeah, I saw you were playing that and was wondering what it was. Now I know, heh. And cool, please do! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Hellblade, but I'm still curious to hear about Detroit as well. At least it's story.

As for me, I've already 100í the first remastered Spyro game. For better or worst, it's a really old school experience. The gameplay is simple and easy yet fun and addictive, and the upgraded visuals and soundtrack are an absolute gem. However, the story is completely non-existent with Spyro not really being a character, and the boss battles have to be the easiest I have ever fought in a 3D platformer ever, so there's definitely a trade-off with sticking so closely to the original formula. However, I've already started Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, and there's more story in the first cutscene than there is in the entirety of the first game, so that seems to be a good sign, haha.

Haha, oh yeah, you better believe it. I didn't even want the cake or any of the desserts, because of how satisfied I was with the other yummies.
Looking forward to hanging with you!

Well, even if you did play it, and did like the story (which I doubt you would), I'm sure you'd still agree that in spite of the more life-like visuals, and some (thematically) darker imagery, the way the dialogue is written and delivered, along with the other stuff, like the characters, doesn't make MGSV's story more 'serious', in any way.

King of Paradise
But yes, how things have changed indeed, lmao. Hopefully Silent Hill will get the resurrection it deserves and make a game that I would be interested in playing, haha. I'm no longer holding my breath for MGS, tho. We'll see how Death Stranding pans out.


Not that I'm holding my breath or anything, but a little while ago, some dude was trying to re-create the Silent Hills P.T. Demo for PC, and when Konami threw a cease and desist letter at him, the guy who was tasked with delivering the C&D told the guy that he was very impressed with the progress of the remake regardless, and as I recall, they hired the guy, and said that his attempt at recreating that demo had reinvigorated their desire to start making games again. So you know, there is a flicker of hope out there, at the very least at Konami Europe, even if not Japan.
Like I said, I'm not holding my breath, but all these issues started when Konami ended up with new people in charge, so with any luck, maybe next time they have a change in management, they'll get someone who's passionate about games and will want to invest in the industry again.
Although, frankly, the more immediate and better option would be for the company to just go under and them or their IPs to get bought out by someone like Sega or even Capcom. Midway going out of business and WB buying out Mortal Kombat was the best thing that happened to the franchise in, like, a decade. If companies aren't interested in investing the kind of time and money into a franchise that it deserves, then that franchise should go to someone who IS interested.

King of Paradise
Yeah, that's why I assumed it was her daughter, because I remember that from the original game. And ok. I'm down to play as her if it means we get to experience more of crazy Irons, haha.
We'll see, but yeah, that would be cool.
Though to be honest, I kinda wish for the third scenario, instead of playing as a HUNK clone, we'd get to play as Ben. He was also so much better written this time around, as this scruffy, older, reporter dude. I wouldn't mind playing as him at all. But hey, it's free DLC, so I'm not gonna b***h about it.

King of Paradise
Hahaha, yes it does, Eric. Yes it does. Ok, how about they add an additional option where the Nemesis can you follow you anywhere? And yes, you can hide in Isolation, but it doesn't guarantee that you are safe.

Sure, maybe that's what can happen in the Hardcore mode, lol. But frankly, how about we actually get a confirmation that the game is in production and being made first, before discussing the intricacies of what it's stalker system should be like, hahahaha.

And yeah, I mean, xenomorphs do crawl through vents, so that's not entirely surprising, haha.

Yeah, I saw you were playing that and was wondering what it was. Now I know, heh. And cool, please do! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Hellblade, but I'm still curious to hear about Detroit as well. At least it's story.

Cool, I'll be sure to give a full report.
So far, I'm enjoying Alone With You quite a bit. It's not a difficult game at all, and is very light on puzzles. It's almost a visual novel, except you get to explore as the character and there are some item finding aspects to it. But yeah, I'm enjoying it a lot, it's almost relaxing, in a way. That's another thing I wanted from it, a rest from the tension of RE2. Something to catch my breath before delving into another more intense game like Hellblade.

As for me, I've already 100í the first remastered Spyro game. For better or worst, it's a really old school experience. The gameplay is simple and easy yet fun and addictive, and the upgraded visuals and soundtrack are an absolute gem. However, the story is completely non-existent with Spyro not really being a character, and the boss battles have to be the easiest I have ever fought in a 3D platformer ever, so there's definitely a trade-off with sticking so closely to the original formula. However, I've already started Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, and there's more story in the first cutscene than there is in the entirety of the first game, so that seems to be a good sign, haha.


Yeah, but it did have a story, right? I mean, I recall it at least having cutscenes and voice overs, no?

But that's awesome, I do look forward to picking it up, along with Crash.

Today, though, I made a couple of other acquisitions. I actually realized that I had a $50 Wal Mart gift card. I wanted to get something gaming related, but everything they had I could get at EB games anyway. Instead, I used it to get a couple of home video acquisitions, and I think you'll be proud of my pick ups.
First, I picked up the first John Wick on Blu-Ray for $10.
Then, I picked up a box set of the first 5 Dragon Ball Z movies on DVD for $20. So it includes basically all the original Pre-Namek movies, plus Cooler's revenge. I haven't seen most of them in a really, really long time, so I look forward to watching them again.
Lastly, you're gonna love this, for $25, I picked up a collection of the first 5 seasons of South Park in their entirety. So yeah, great way to spend the gift card, if you ask me!
