I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

Well yeah, that was deliberately obfuscated by Capcom. Because Mike Tyson was in prison for rape at the time.

But they couldn’t do something sensible and just give the character another name, they had to play musical chairs with the names and confuse people for the rest of time.
I just feel like I should've figured it out earlier. I mean, it rhymes so obviously and it's about as subtle as a soft drink named Boca-Bola.

Vega always made more sense for the Spanish fighter, considering it's an actual Spanish word/name.

lol at the FGC purists who say "Boxer," "Claw," and "Dictator"

They're doing more than they let on for some reason

Seems pretty much exactly what they said they were going to do. Shine it up but barely change anything. 99% of this stuff is graphics changes. She even said they weren't going to fix the inventory issues in ME1. No pinnacle station. (which is dumb, but whatever) No ME3 multiplayer. So a worse version of the trilogy that looks nicer than what is currently available.

This is SM3dAS level laziness.

my understanding was that it wasn't some purism thing, it was so that japanese and non-japanese players could talk to each other without being confused over who is who

I’m going to laugh if the new version of ME1 still has the giant, slow elevator.

On the PS5 at least, I assume it will be a fast elevator? But still a weird giant elevator in a bizarre and central place.

Same elevator but now there is a button to skip if you want.

Final boss of cyber shadow kinda sucks. he has 2 brain dead simple forms and then the last form would be brain dead simple too except you have to rely on randomly spawning platforms that can completely gently caress you if they are placed poorly. you have to wait for them to respawn in a better position while you dodge a million things cause the boss is out of your reach. real let down of design after the whole game.

Yeah basically M. Bison was potentially a lawsuit name on a character reminiscent of Mike Tyson, and instead of just renaming that one character, the localization team rearranged the names of the three new characters in that version, forever ensuring confusion

according to wikipedia they thought Vega wasn't a scary enough name for the final boss, it would work better for the matador guy, and also the mike tyson thing thrown in afterwards

a Baneling from starcraft!
a wyvern/wind rider from WoW!
a creeper from minecraft!
a Rathalos from monster hunter!
Shagbark, a courier from Dota2!
Ganymede from overwatch!
a Lapras! which is a pokemon!
a Bazelgeuse from monster hunter!
Rammus from League of Legends!
a Spycrab from TF2!
Alpha from FFXIV!
a pokeball!
Amaura, a pokemon!
Lord Shaxx from Destiny 2!

a San Diego Comic Con 2014 exclusive Nether Faerie Dragon from WoW!
Kirby! a cat!



wow, there's more. do Neopets count? of course they do. we got a Cybunny, a Babaa (actually a petpet, which is a pet for your neopet), an Aisha, and a Scorchio.

BONUS!



it's Octodad! i missed him in the first picture cause he had fallen down behind a pillow.

and a zergling! but where did it come from? well that Baneling plushie from the first pic is actually one of the ones that you can flip inside out to change its form! it can switch between zergling and baneling! it's super cool!

Maybe they should switch the names of two future Street Fighter characters around, just for old times sake.

That sounds like an actual funny gag so instead Capcom are introducing guest fighter Frank West and it's also the version from Dead Rising 4 that everyone loves.

This is a hot take but they’re right imho, M. Bison is a sick final boss name even if it makes no loving sense (maybe because of that?) but it would feel kinda underwhelming on the black boxer cause then it’s just a Tyson reference.

Mass Effect 3 is my favourite of the series and I never once played the multiplayer.

I am very excited to show Lady VG my favourite video game trilogy too :D

Trying to think of other good game trilogies (that only have 3 games) and I am coming up a bit of a blank.

Max Payne is one. I think modern Hitman is another. Post your favourite video game trilogies!

Probably a cheat, but I love the three Rocksteady Arkham games.

Dark Souls' three entries are pretty rad, too.

Oh, the Witcher, and the Tomb Raider reboots!

Resident Evil's a good distinct name, Biohazard might be more accurate but holy hell is it generic.

Resident Evil is one of the only video game series names my mum remembers which let's be honest, is one of the most important aspects for a big video game series.

King's Field
Turok
X-COM Ufo Defense/Terror from the Deep/Apocalypse
TimeSplitters
Do the Phoenix Wright games count? Yeah they made sequels but the first 3 tied together well enough and Apollo Justice was trying to move on to something else before going back to stuff like Spirit of Justice
Probably Shining Force 3 or whatever it was that was 3 games where actions in one changed stuff in the other
Soul Blazer/Illusion of Gaia/Terranigma
.hack//G.U.
Mother/Earthbound/Mother 3
UFO Aftershock/Aftermath/Afterlight
Avernum is split into 2 trilogies and they're both good
Shadow Hearts
Alien vs Predator
Dragon Quest 1-3 and 4-6 are both trilogies set in their own universe I think
Can probably toss in SaGa 1-3 as well aka Final Fantasy Legend 1-3 before they got more experimental with SaGa stuff
Spyro
Big Bumpin/Sneak King/Pocketbike Racer
Sly Cooper
Crash Bandicoot
Team ICO stuff
Ninja Gaiden
Duke Nukem Trilogy (Critical Mass, Chain Reaction, Proving Grounds)
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Streets of Rage
Jill of the Jungle
Magical Quest starring Mickey Mouse, or whatever the trilogy was where you could play co-op with a friend and one of the games had playable Mickey and Donald but Donald kept getting lovely knockoff versions of Mickey's special outfits
