OT Random Thoughts

I like those series... but only the games that came before those titles in them. To me both the Batman and GoW titles you mentioned felt like spinoffs that didn't need to exist and didn't put enough effort in. Dishonored was pretty good though. Have to beat the sequel but it didn't get me invested so far.
Well yeah the attempt to go 'more cinematic' was dumb and makes the ICA look like idiots. In fact most characters in that feel like they're from another series entirely. The whole thing with the girl and Diana and 47 cutting his barcode was terrible writing especially given how it ends. Some of the stuff in Hitman III with Marcus Gray and 47 wasn't exactly great but it was better at least.
Oh they always reformed or something, or they say it was just one branch of the Agency. It happened twice and if they ever do another one (probably years from now or never) it will have to be the same again. Not exactly a plot heavy series in that regard and there have been many contradictory plot elements and recycled ideas. The game world and design in the newest ones more than make up for it.
It's pretty hard to compare them. If Capcom had looked at RE6 as the misstep then delivered a trilogy of new games all centered on Leon using RE4-5 as a base but improved the whole the technical side... that's what WOA is. Instead there's more remakes than original games and the original ones are more inspired by new First-person horror trends than the old series. Some might say both developers rescued an old series from doom, but they're gone about it in entirely different ways with different levels of success.
Well Resident Evil never suffered the indignity of having a reboot, in the usual sense, though it has some weird offshoots now. Who knows why developers do such weird stuff in the name of a profit margin. Remember when they tried making Bomberman edgy? Or that Bionic Commando redo? Or when Castlevania became a second rate God of War? Was 'Operation Raccoon City' as bad? I guess it's down to taste but it's always the same random cash grab involving incompetent Western devs. Personally changing tone or overall gameplay style is still better than what happened with 'DmC' after DMC4 needed a direct sequel. The fact it finally happened is a miracle.

Meh. I don't use Discord. And Biohaze and Silent Hill Community are my only two go to forums for survival horror talk from here on out, since I got booted from NeoGAF. 
Oh, and despite what James B from Perth says, I wasn't banned on either KHInsider or Cult Labs. Lately, I decided to do some trimming of the fat (as I know he likes calling me fat, by the way) and all I did was ask for certain accounts to be deleted, seeing as how I seldomly received any replies.
But of course, few admins will comply with such a request. I don't know why they stubbornly want to retain your membership when you know what you discussed there has an extremely low chance of being appreciated. It's not like anyone was concerned with my posts anyway.
But yeah. Some people are too particular with their rules.
