This does only assume by setting you mean “fantasy.” If you just mean Forgotten Realms, there are tons of fantasy turn based tactical RPGs. Owlcat has a bunch of good shit like Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous.
Who the hell is the random psycho just chilling with the main characters? Did they just add the dude from the game covers to the main cast like he’s actually a character?
Hold up… Battle Royale in CRAZY TAXI? GaaS wouldn’t be surprising, but that last bit gives me doubts. Then again… It’s an arcade game. I suppose instead of a high score table, it could be an elimination thing… 🤔
It’s a reboot. They could definitely turn it into a AAA budget production. Maybe make it an open world GTA clone, like the Yakuza series; where 90% of the game is side activities that don’t even involve driving a taxi.
I really don’t care. I’m fine playing genderless shapes (and if PacMan didn’t have “man” in his name nobody would even know he was a he) if the game is fun. Even when finishing the first Metroid back when I was a kid and discovering Samus was a woman didn’t really blow my mind like it did for so many others.
The only time I care is when it actually matters in the game. Such as Fallout 2 and being able to skip fighting the Slavers to rescue Vic but only as a woman, or older FPS games where the smaller frame of a female model came with a smaller hitbox, or even Demon’s Souls where male and females have different armor sets so my gender changes with my build.
Not having an N64 or a copy of that game stops me.
This and the other WWE games on N64 is why I went through so many controllers… A lot of them had you spinning the stick to get out of stuff and it would wear down the springs until the stick was worthlessly flaccid. 😩
“Quit boo-hooin’ 'bout having blue eyes and being strong as fuck. ‘Oh woe is me! My eyes look sick as hell and I can swing a Buick like a butter-knife. Wah wah wah!’ That’s what you sound like!”
