Is there literally anyone on Earth who still cares about the intergame story. I barely cared to begin with and once the Desmond storyline closed I checked out entirely. Just stick to the story in the historical setting and give up on the modern day garbage nobody cares about.

I do. In fact the interconnected story is part of the reason why I got into the series, so when it became much less of a focus until recently I started losing interest (though part of that is just burnout in general on the series).

At least until the RE3 remake comes out.

I'm kinda scared of that game, because I love Jill. And like, even though I didn't lose my mind over Claire's new look in RE2, it is...decidedly worse than how she used to look.

But aside from that an RE3 remake is likely gonna be freaking fantastic. The city looked great in the RE2 remake and we'll get to see a lot more of it in an RE3 one.

That's a good question. I really love ReMake and RE2Re. I don't know if it's nostalgia goggles that keeps REMake in such high regard. I mean I know it's GOOD but RE2Re good? Idk.

I'd argue REmake is the better one since it improved on the first game without removing or sacrificing anything (...apart from the cheesy voice acting). Though REmake 2 is great because it plays wonderfully and looks amazing. It's just they sacrificed the big selling point of RE2 with the story and sequence of events changing depending on which character order you picked, which nearly offered four unique playthroughs of the game.

They shouldn't have bothered with remaking Bowser's Inside Story to begin with. Paper Jam was going in the wrong direction for the series, though, as it went for the stale NSMB/post-Super Paper Mario Paper Mario style with generic settings and no OCs.

Yeah, given Mario & Luigi's penchant for more in-depth stories and OC villains, I was expecting the game to throw in a brand new villain to stop...but no. It ended with fighting Bowser, having to rescue Peach. ...No mystery at all. And felt like one of the shortest games in the series. Paper Jam felt like a big disappointment in what was supposed to be a pretty cool crossover.

Jesus. How does a Mario title sell THAT poorly?

It came out right at the end of the 3DS's life, and was a remake of a game that didn't need a remake and was backwards compatible with the 3DS already.

Yeah, both situations made for a really bad combo. Anyone who hasn't had a DS and wanted to play Bowser's Inside Story has likely already played it on the 3DS. Superstar Saga at least made sense even though it was another game that didn't need remaking, since you couldn't normally play it on a 3DS (I believe it was an ambassador title?).

Well shit. I honestly liked the Mario & Luigi series over the Paper Mario series. M&L with Yoko Shimomura had way better music too.

I'd honestly agree with you there on the music. Only Paper Mario game that I truly love the music for is 64. TTYD and Super had an odd style, Sticker Star had a specific style some may not like (jazz), and Color Splash was more...generic-ish?

I think that kind of thing is honestly scary. The police watching citizen internet use closely enough to come over and visit because you watched a (completely legal, I'm assuming) Youtube video is deeply disturbing. Also, not to start the whole debate up again, I happen to find it ridiculous that the UK considers even very offensive drawn porn (not based on real people, of course) to be illegal in the first place. A complete waste of police time and an affront to civil liberties.

To be fair though, he was in a public area using WiFi, more specifically a library (so he might've been using a public computer), so this is a cautionary tale for all to watch what you view in public places.

Im surprised the show is still going on. Ive never seen any of the Rosanne revival. Does the show pick up right after the 2018 show, or are there continuity shenanigans?

So there's an episode of the revival season where it's revealed that Roseanne is addicted to pain medication. Jump to the beginning of The Connors, they have a perfect spot to say that she died from ODing. And...that's basically it.

The first game is weird, kinda janky, yet has an overall charm to it.

Second game is more polished but also isn't as weird or charming. Probably because Shinji Mikami wasn't head of that game. Also weirdly doesn't follow up on the first game (where you think it would, anyway) and instead focuses on fleshing out the main character's backstory that you only got a touch of in the first game.

Both games are pretty good though, I think. It's just the two definitely feel different from each other. On the plus side EW2 recently had a first-person mode patch, so you can play it like an FPS if you want to.

This was my understanding of it. Its more like a blend of the first two? If it has missions and stuff, thats gonna suck.

Yeah, I seem to recall the developers saying they took Dark Moon's reception and made 3 more like the first game, even down to having unique boss ghosts similar to the Portrait Ghosts.

Mission-based structure with levels and different mansions like what Dark Moon had, rather than just one mansion that you explore freely.

That same sentiment applies to Batwoman, her highest-profile leading role.

But there's obviously plenty of shows for people like that. Theres plenty of shows for white old men.
