They apparently even roped some of the original VAs into the project. Even if the whole thing turns out to be an unremarkable shitpost, I'm just kind of amazed somebody actually put the money and effort into making it happen.

It's too bad the cutscenes cannot quite match the original CDI Zeldas for weirdly smooth squiddly awfulness, but I guess that would be impossible since the original russian mspaint animation studio is long gone

Can the Special Edition of Skyrim play with all the mods and stuff that are current, or is the Anniversary Edition needed to play them now?

I finished Skyrim back in 2012 (still have my DVD copy but no DVD reader in my 2021 computer). I’m not sure if I care enough about the “new” stuff/expansions included in the Anniversary Edition to buy it right this instant. Mainly, I want to be able to try out some of the current modded-in stuff. I also know if I want later I can “upgrade” to the AE (right?).

The thing is, I have a limited monthly budget for entertainment. If I only get the SE I have just enough for Elden Ring on sale. I do know that From games very rarely go on sale, and I simply can’t afford both ER + Skyrim AE while the $12 difference in versions means I can afford both ER + Skyrim SE this month and play around with mods on Skyrim at leisure while I get the upgrade to the AE in some future month. The main thing is if the current mods work with the Special Edition I’d be perfectly happy with it and Elden Ring (which I probably won’t get to in my backlog for a couple of weeks anyway). If current-version mods on Skyrim SE don’t work, I’ll just get Elden Ring and wait for another sale for Skyrim’s AE in the future. It goes on deep sale much more often than From games ever do!

Fake edit:
I’m not, like, skimping on food/rent to buy vidya. I put a certain budget per month on a prepaid debit card for internet-related entertainment is all and I’m really strict on my budget…even if I’m willing to spend it down to the penny every month :bang: 😬

I'm glad I don't have to worry about whether the ship Obra Dinn in the game Obra Dinn is too woke or if Dave the Diver is part of the leftist trans agenda trying to censor conservatives, it makes it so much easier to just play my little games.

It's not like both sides don't engage in this kind of nonsense behavior. Just look at the drama around Hogwarts Legacy. There's multiple places on the internet that treat the very name of the game as a curse word and refer to only as "that wizard game" and that's just absolutely ridiculous. Not saying Hogwarts Legacy is a good game or anything, it's exceptionally mediocre, but treating it as some sort of ultimate enemy is silly.

they weren't MS Paint by the end either, for that cancelled Warcraft game they actually drew with actual pencils and ink. it ended up looking like a lot of 90s animation, like Nelvana cartoons

You JUST said you liked that you didn't have to worry about the politics of a game, but you do. At least don't go all double standards on things. You may not have to worry if a game is "too woke" but you worry if it's "too un-woke" or whatever. You're doing the same thing from the opposite side.

To be fair, there is really nothing to defend, your take is really wrong. It's a Steam forums level take, that should be enough explanation for why you shouldn't have it.

The difference being that I don't actually sit here obsessing that a game might not be ideologically pure. I can parse fiction from reality, and also just roll my eyes and carry on at stuff that's not Perfect And Good as long as it's not trying to bludgeon me. It's pretty normal to go over Warhammer 40k's issues but it's still drat popular here, and GW is at least offering mealy-mouthed centrism at worst instead of actively enjoying people being hurt, and so a lot of us clearly just fuckin' deal.

The balking is at an IP whose owner is happily hostile and wouldn't mind seeing people hurt, plus the game itself has issues from its plot dovetailing right into anti-Semitic poo poo Rowling put in the setting. Neither of those is "insufficiently ideologically pure," those are "wow this is pretty awful." Meanwhile a lot of us also exist with "what about straight pride month?" month from the right-wing, who spent the whole time losing their minds at rainbow marketing and wanting to punish the acknowledgement that gay and trans people exist.

So, y'know...

SNES JP with the ability to save added is an actual good zelda game with weird 3D FPS segments


SNES JP2: The Chaos Continues is a pretty good 2 player coop contra


Gen/MD Lost World is a good overhead Chaos Engine/Commando like with weird 3D segments


The rest are mediocre but you get 3 good games out of it, I think the 8-bit versions were just demakes of the 16-bit games though, so probably nothing notable there
Gen/MD JP was pretty well-regarded as a platformer of the era (and also having the gimmick of playing as either Dr. Grant or a velociraptor), developed by BlueSky Software who'd later do the Vectorman games, though opinions aren't universal there. The follow-up game, Rampage Edition, is basically more of the same, though the action is more geared to fighting.

...But that's irrelevant for this collection since it's only the Nintendo system games. NES/GB Jurassic Park, SNES Jurassic Park, SNES and GB Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues.
At a guess they only got the Ocean game rights.

Well 2 good games then, not bad.

The Gen/MD JP and Rampage Edition were bad and are bad to this day, but there is a lot of nostalgia for them so I agree they would have included them if they could have.
