When push comes to shove,
you gotta do what you love.
Even if it's not a good idea.

I've never listened to 3 people with such a poor understanding of what a reboot is before. :p
Just because a sequel changes up the gameplay, doesn't make it a reboot.

QotW: More sound clips. I always loved those in the TalkRadar days.

Whenever a Strive trailer plays, the audience must sing "bullshit blazing".

QotW: No wait! Space Sims!
I miss the days when Wing Commander and X-Wing/TIE Fighter was a popular genre.

QotW: I wish Stealth games lke Thief and Deus Ex were a lot more common.
We occasionally get, like, a Dishonored, but it's not enough.

QotW: I don't care about remasters. But I love a fully fleshed out remake that really turns the original into an entirely new, but still great, game. Like Resident Evil 2 remake or the FF7 Remakes.

QotW:
Hardware looks good.
Games look good.
Pricing is nuts.
Charging for the system demo game is nuts.
I hope Smash Ultimate gets a Switch 2 Edition with more Fighters.

QotW: The best games are the ones that let you do both. Where you decide what gear you're actually equipped with, but you can choose what you're gear looks like based on anything you've collected.

I pronounced it "Gay-den" instead of "Guy-den" as a kid. Which is wrong.

QotW: Faxanadu. Back in the day, I pronounced it "facks-ann-ah-doo".
But then I found out it's called Faxanadu because it was the FAmicom port of the game Xanadu. So now, now, I don't know HOW it's meant to be pronounced. I just know the last part is "zann-ah-doo".

QotW: Can I take to the high spaces instead? I wanna be a pirate in Star Wars.
Like Skeleton Crew, only without the kids.

Nah, it rules. Every charge character that becomes a motion character is made better for it.

QotW: Both Know One Lives Forever games.
They're kinda considered GoG's white whale in terms of classing PC games they don't have yet. But they basically can't figure out who actually owns the series so they haven't been able to get the rights to rerelease it.

Newer version. Swapped out a character and removed a couple of the lower quality images.

Also, Chris, Steet Fighter Alpha is technically an interquel, not a prequel. Since it takes place between SF1 and SF2.

QOTW: Mine is probably Dragon Quest 3. I don't want to get too spoilery since the remake just came out, but particularly the way the final section of the game ties into DQ1.

Hmm, I guess the "First Appearance:" section in Marvel Database only counts comics.

QotW: I strongly associate Frog's Theme from Chrono Trigger with Everquest.
I was playing Everquest the first time I learned to run an MP3 player in the background, and I remember playing Frog's Theme as I would run around the Eastern Commonlands for hours. It made the game feel 10x more epic.

I can tell Chris didn't watch all of Ash vs. Evil Dead. Because the whole "Ash gets transported to the future" twist comes up again there.

QotW: Thief. For sure. That kind of fantasy rogue simulator with an atmospheric story and setting is probably my favorite type of game of all time. And the only other franchise that really does that is Dishonored.

Unfortunately, I don't remember where all of them are from, because I've been collecting them from the internet for years. But I do know a lot of them came from Deviantart users "sabockee" and "RieyTails".

I refuse to accept that Mike, the African-American boxer kicked out of professional boxing for excessive violence, and Mike Bison, the African-American boxer kicked out of professional boxing for excessive violence, are two separate characters.

Alternatively, you could stick Alex with Luke. They're both American and have that Military-chic sense of style. They're also both the "new face" of their respective SF games.
That leaves Joe and Remy stuck together. Team Leftovers.

Yes he will. Because he's secretly a SiRN Copy Fighter.

They're victims of not having anyone better to team up with. Hugo+Poison is a must-have team. Haggar+Zangief is also pretty obvious.
The only real connection between Remy and Alex is they fought in 3S and didn't hate each other afterwards. It's an "I need a teammate, and I know you" situation.
comment in response to

Thanks! Pretty much all of them have at least SOME connection/something in common. Probably the most tenuous is Alex+Remy. Whose only real connection is "met in 3S".
Also Luke+Joe. Where Luke is just like, "He looks like my dad." :p

That's not irrational at all. That's just practical.

It was weird hearing you guys say the Budokai games are the direction fighting games could have taken, because they absolutely did. They're called Arena Fighters and most shonen anime games are this kind of game. All those Naruto games. Most Dragon Ball games. Also the the FF Dissidia games.

QotW: Maarek Stele. Protagonist of TIE Fighter.
Just a no-nonsense working class TIE Fighter pilot trying to bring peace and order to the galaxy, and protect the people from those pesky Rebel terrorists.
