About me: I love Roguelikes and Roguelites, whether they are traditional turn based roguelikes with true permadeath and zero carryover stats, action game roguelites with unlimited deaths and unlockable upgrades that carry over across dungeon runs, or anything in between the two extremes. I love Metroidvanias as well and many of my favorite games combine the two genres of Metroidvania and Roguelike/Roguelite.
I love big budget horror games and their high definition remakes but I'm also big fan of pixel-art. I love what Capcom has done with the Resident Evil series and I'm really enjoying the HD remakes/reboots
But at the same time I think that updated graphics have also ruined one of their trademark series of games as well. For me, games like MvC2 or Street Fighter Alpha or practically any King of Fighters from '94 to 2002, those games are art plain and simple. They are timeless and possess an aesthetic that, like any great work of art, does not age or become dated the way more modern games do. I love that so many indie developers out there feel the same and those are kinds of games that catch my interest way faster than any game that attempts to be as photo realistic as possible. Dead Cells is art. Children of Morta is art. Those games will still look good a hundred years from now while games like Arma III will have been replaced by Arma XXXV or whatever number they get up to by then and the game that once looked so real that news stations showed footage of it thinking it was actual warfare will instead look ridiculously old and unrealistic.
That being said I'm also a big horror fan and I really enjoyed the Resident Evil Remakes which did bring the gameplay and graphics of the originals into the modern age. So sometimes I guess a game that looks pretty and new ain't all bad.
It all really comes down to, is the game fun to play. If that's the case, I don't care if it's in ASCII or if it makes me have to build a new computer to play it. As long as it's fun.

Owned the game briefly before I returned it, after I came to my senses and realized I'd made a mistake. And no matter how low the price of the main game goes, I won't buy it again. I'm not sure I would even activate it for free if given the chance to do so. Because what you get for the 5 bucks, 7 bucks, Zero, whatever sale price might be, you aren't getting a game, you're getting a bill.
Previous versions of the game gave us 30+ characters, extra modes, value for our money. Well that's all over now.
My favorite character costs extra, Lei WuLong who should have been part of the initial release. When I bought consoles in the past I stuck with Sony because of this series. I played Lei as my main for over 20 years. And now just buying the game isn't enough to get to play him.
The only way companies like Namco and Capcom are ever going to stop nickel and diming us is to stop buying these games.

I want to write you something that i couldn't on sg.

You wrote: "You should definitely be on more people's lists."
And i feel that i need to give you the info that this guy are on REALLY much whitelists because he had a description in his GAs (for years) that he will add users to his WL when he can see/enter their GAs (so not only get added to their WL and instead are able to enter GAs for unowned games). And he don't made WL GAs by himself for 2-3 years or more (check his GAs and you see it by yourself). So he exploited the WL stuff for many years.
And it give more shady stuff around him.

Hello, I would like to ask if you trade humble bundle, fanatical cd-keys, even if you do not trade them, I am looking for a few old bundled ones, so you might have a few and I'm ready to offer some games from your wishlist, in case you are interested - accept my friendship, I'm also ready to go first if we find decent trade for both of us, thanks(seen your profile on fanatical group)

Heya. i've read your tekken 7 review, and i agree fully with that, but you could've googled for free tekken DLC's since the DLC's in the game are pre installed and are only behind a paywall which can be bypassed due to bad programming in the unreal engine. if you want more information hit me up.

other than that, have a nice day.
