It's funny to hear people criticize taste then cite RLM. XD XD XD

*shrugs*

In addition to them being entertainers, their tastes tend to align with mine. No different than watching/reading other critics' reviews.

But yeah, the trailers didn't really wow me (partly since I saw the miniseries)

I think most people have nostalgia for the miniseries because "ooh, I watched a scary movie when I was little," but I actually rewatched it with my brother a few years back, and it hasn't held up. In fact, I'd say it was probably never great to begin with. Yeah, Tim Curry is great and all, and I guess John Ritter is there too, but I think the issue stems from the story itself being so long and convoluted that it doesn't really translate well to film. Or I don't know; I guess I just don't get Stephen King. He's way too weird for my tastes.

Also, Metroid Samus Returns drops on Friday. I'm broke but I want the game, and Nintendo games never really drop in price. Therefore, playing the waiting game and hoping for a price drop isn't a viable iption.

Speaking of bad taste <_<

But seriously, I saw the words "MercurySteam" and immediately lost every ounce of hope for the game. I imagine this will be very similar to Mirror of Fate, which was one of the worst Metroidvania's I'd ever played. For that reason, I can't put blind faith in these guys and expect this remake to be competent.

Maybe it'll wind up being fantastic, but honestly, even if that's the case, I'd much rather hunt down AM2R and play that, as it caters to my tastes much more than Samus Returns does.
