Nevermind get rid of them :(
I didn't like the third mainline entry, Youngblood either, but that's their only bad game. You can't win them all. Platinum has a few duds, yet they're still here too. I am not hardcore Indiana Jones, but I am willing to give them a chance on that.

If Capcom could come back from their 7th- and early 8th-gen games to have the entire Capcom Redemption Arc, and Bloober Team put out a critically acclaimed Silent Hill game, then anything's possible.

You know, I always wondered why MS never tried to break into handheld consoles. Is it because they figured they aren't gonna beat Nintendo?

If so, I don't know why they would try something like this in this day and age

Kind of pointless considering Genesis games are super easy to emulate, and they still have digital games and compilation packs available on consoles. I have the Sega Genesis collection for PS4. They're really only shooting themselves in the foot.

Probably planning a new collection. Or their own store.

Like the Sonic Generations rerelease (which was also preceded by delisting of the old version), where Knuckles no longer makes fun of Sonic's weight and Amy no longer has a crush on Sonic, a bunch of them will have their content changed for BlackRock and friends, in exchange for good ESG score/funding. Mega Drive games will be untouched, because they come in emulators and are more complicated to alter. Besides, removing just the ones that will be altered would make it too obvious. Fans will be ignored because it's not like they bought a product and then it was changed. The old product was already gone.

Last I checked, black rock had nothing to do with that, and that was done internally from Sega. I don't even remember a majority of the cut scenes in the there was always youtube if I wanna see the original versions. While silly, it's not worth crying like a biatch some hardcore fans were doing online. Also, Amy still has a crush. They removed her more stalkerish tendencies. What little was left by that point. That one I don't have a problem with. It's s still implied in the later games, the twitter takeover she has her crush on Sonic.

Sweet summer child.

Strange to think Streets 4 got away with a dominatrix and BDSM dungeon. But that was four years ago and the capture of these giants is swift.

Would you stop that bellyaching! No one really cares. It was Sega themselves and no third party had nothing to do with it. Besides, the Yakuza of franchise is raunchy as hell and ain't bothering that.

Hilariously, while the remake of Dragon Quest 3 changed male and female to body type A and B during your character creation, in the actual game itself (meaning you have to actually play the game to notice this, so this would be missed by anyone who'd complain about the gender options being male and female, as these people don't play videogames) there's tons of gender based gear. Like a dress type body armor will say "this item can only be equipped by women". So the game is maintaining its original normal gender norms that it always had, it literally only changed what it called them during the char creation process. If you pick body type B, you're a woman as far as the equipment is concerned.


Which begs the question, why change this at all if it's just for optics but not mechanics? I dunno, this is giving me the image of a dog chasing its tail into perpetuity. Utterly pointless.

The time for this was before the Switch and Steam Deck, let alone before Microsoft decided to largely ditch console exclusivity.
