(+) Yeah! (+)

Which game do you choose and which changes do you make?

Metal Gear Solid V

I remove that fucking HORRIBLE Big Boss in Metal Gear 1 was actually Venom Snake (AKA a random nobody soldier with Big Bosss face) twist. I make it so Venom Snake never exists and youre just the regular, real Big Boss for the entire game (which means re-writing a large chunk of the game probably, which is fine). I make it so Big Boss talks just as much as he always did in every other game and has his same personality (though I love Kiefer Sutherland, id go back to David Hayter). I make it so the boring ass tapes are either full cutscenes or at least real time Codec conversations like the other games. I remove the shitty re-doing the same missions you already beat in hard mode in order to advance the story thing. I MIGHT just scrap the open world thing altogether as it never really felt necessary, but I might keep it and just make it more interesting and relevant to the story.

I think I would probably choose Yoshi's Island and remove Baby Mario from the game. It would be fine for Yoshi to protect a baby Yoshi, a prince from a far away kingdom, etc. But I think Mario was better when he was someone from Earth trapped in the Mushroom Kingdom instead of someone born into the Mushroom Kingdom.

I suppose Mario canonically being an actor was inevitable. There was no way that they could reconcile him going after apes in construction sites, rescuing princesses from dragons and aliens, go-karting, being a doctor, etc., but I think the basic Alice in Wonderland approach of a person trapped in a fantasy world is a better premise than a baby hero who is fated to grow up to fight the Koopas and seems to be one of about five or six human characters in the entirety of the Mushroom Kingdom.

TLOU2, I have ALL the characters be buff lesbians just to piss off incels more.

Mass Effect 3 I make an ending that isn't utter garbage
