Resident Evil 3 Remake came in a day early for me. On my day off too. 

Why are people praising Heideggar in FF7R being serious? (As of what we’ve seen anyway. Tho from the demo, I’ve seen people praising his characterization so I’m assuming they want the serious type applied to him) The whole appeal of his character was his goofiness and hot temper. Making him a super serious generic shinra general isn’t “doing him good”, it’s actively taking the charm away from him. I really don’t want the remake doing away with a lot of those hammy moments, and I’ll never understand the FF fanbases obsession with making things edgy.

The minute-to-minute gameplay of Paper Mario 1/TTYD is "alright". The battle system is rather good, but ends up being a bit unvaried and repetitive when you've got the action commands and stylish moves down to muscle memory, which doesn't take very long to accomplish. Backtracking in the overworld is rife too, which gets annoying because movement is slow and the platforming doesn't control very well. The gameplay is simple 7/10, and everything else brings up the overall quality of the games.
The real joy of Paper Mario comes from its dialogue, characters and worlds. This is why I can still play Super Paper despite it's clunky platforming and excessive menu use to swap characters/Pixls; the gameplay isn't bad and the rest of the package keeps you engaged. And it's also why I just won't bother giving Sticker Star or Color Splash a go. The gameplay looks actively much worse than the older games, whilst the creative worlds characters and stories have also been gutted.

I could buy another entire console for how much some of this VR shit costs. Anyone know a budget option I can get working with Half-Life?
