I wish I still had Panzer Dragoon Saga. I had to sell it off years ago in order to keep afloat. Ended up selling Panzer Dragoon, Zwei and Saga as a bundle to pay some bills.

As for games I didn't have before. I would love a PCB of Haunted Castle. Always wanted to get my hands on one and frame it up in a shadow box.

Onimusha: Warlords for the PS2 has one of my favorite opening pre-rendered cutscenes. Keeping in mind it was the year 2001, the CGI was unbelievable, and frankly I think still looks fantastic today. The beautiful symphonic score is what really does it for me though, it's too bad they changed the music for the PS3 remaster.

They did? That's a bummer. Glad I still have it for PS2 then.

I've talked about this subject before with friends, pertaining to films and thought it might be an interesting topic of conversation to drill down to a specific cutscene in a game.

If you could rewatch a single cutscene again as if it were the first time, which would it be?

I saw that Tony Hawk announcement. Held off on it, but might have to get it for Switch.

In other news I decided to search Brown Sauce for a laugh and found an old thread asking about what VGC was like when it was new ( https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,9355.0.html ), didn't want to necro that thread. But def want to say thanks again for everyone who makes this place feel Alive. Feels good, man.

Oh good call, I never really thought of Zelda having that item requirement exploration as a Metroidvania game, since there's so much other world exploration and such.

But I can totally see it now.

My bias is showing. But I have to say that you can't go wrong with Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Or even any of the DS Castlevania games, especially Order of Ecclesia.

Or Aria of Sorrow on GBA.

I really appreciated the messages. After I started taking a step back and eventually disappeared, I had a hard time coming back because I felt like I let people down.

But it makes me very happy to see this place thriving and how tight knit the community still is.

Made my ol grumpy grinch heart grow 3 sizes.

So, I should probably clean up my collection listings. So so very out of date.

haha, any time.

I've been deep into board games over the last few years, and seem to play them more than I play video games. Also, I Kickstarted Rail Raiders: Infinite and work with Ninja Division as a painting competition judge at GenCon.
