This show is an example where amazing animation, voice acting and production value cannot overcome bad storytelling and a lack of faithfulness to the source material.
The first CV anime started out strong and didn't quite stick the landing. This one just started poorly.
I was such a gigantic Carmen Sandiego fan back in the day. But I can't get behind these recent reboots where Carmen is the hero. It makes no sense to me. The fun of the story was that she was this incredibly brilliant criminal, the best in the world, and it was your challenge to take her down. A lot of modern remakes turn the villains into heroes and vice versa — I know writers are out of ideas but, I can't get into it.
I can't stand multiverse stuff. Having 2 Sonics in these Generations games makes them instant passes for me. I'm sure I'm in the minority on this, but, yea....
And acknowledging Sonic '06 does NOT help the cause!! LOL
Trim the fat on the staff side and the game scope side. Make smaller, less technically demanding, more potent gaming experiences. That's my advance for the entire industry to stay afloat.
The overall timeline connecting ALL the games is utter silliness. However, certain games with explicit connections and how they fit together is important to me.
The game better be connected to Link's Awakening or else I'm gonna be even more miffed that they are reusing that (ugly, imo) art style.
I know I am in the minority on this, but I actually do not like the vibe from RE7 or 8 at all. I adore the franchise, but those 2 games are way too torture pr0n-y and emotionally twisted. I know it's a fine line, but to me, RE always had slick, anime-ish characters who were stuck in a terrible nightmare. RE7 and 8 brought the heroes down to the level of that nightmare and made the world around them even darker.
From the trailer, I don't know why these characters are fighting, I don't know what they're fighting for, I don't know how they got their powers or if that's a usual thing in this universe...... but I know their pronouns and how they would vote.
1. All people should be kind and accepting to all other people. 2. The world is not nearly as bigoted as some people make it out to be — especially when it just so happens to benefit them to say so.

Re: Feature: Where Does 'Echoes Of Wisdom' Fit In The Zelda Timeline? Here Are 3 Theories
The overall timeline connecting ALL the games is utter silliness. However, certain games with explicit connections and how they fit together is important to me.
The game better be connected to Link's Awakening or else I'm gonna be even more miffed that they are reusing that (ugly, imo) art style.
Re: Tales Of Kenzera: Zau Studio Is Reportedly Facing Layoffs
A game company with layoffs after a project is complete and shipped!? Stop the presses!!
Plus, like, the game was mid'n'stuff, so... that's gonna make it harder to stay afloat.
Re: Random: Artist Reimagines Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Scene With TOTK-Inspired Visuals
I wish the game looked like that instead! I actually never liked the Link's Awakening remake style.
Re: Capcom Confirms The Next Resident Evil Game Is Now In Development
I know I am in the minority on this, but I actually do not like the vibe from RE7 or 8 at all. I adore the franchise, but those 2 games are way too torture pr0n-y and emotionally twisted. I know it's a fine line, but to me, RE always had slick, anime-ish characters who were stuck in a terrible nightmare. RE7 and 8 brought the heroes down to the level of that nightmare and made the world around them even darker.
Just my 2 cents.
Re: House Of The Dead 2: Remake Gets Rated For Switch By The ESRB
Put it on a cartridge and I will buy it.
Also, what we really need are HotD 4 and Scarlet Dawn on physical home media.
Re: Random: Coder Creates Super Mario 64 For The GBA, And It's Looking Excellent

This is peak video game storytelling!!!
