I remember Spyro, but I don't know how often I really played it growing up. 

I still haven't rebought Shovel Knight on PS4 because it's still at $15, which was its brand new price. So I hear you. Someone pointed out to me I can play my Steam version using my PS4 controller too, soooo ....

Yeah, new GG (Xrd) has animated cutscenes before fights, as do the Blazblue games, but in GGXrd you can skip those scenes completely and in BlazBlue you can skip some but just get others to speed up the dialogue. The Story modes I'm talking about are different from Arcade mode in that you're not actually playing; they're literally just low-rent anime movies using the in-game engines and not a whole lot of animation/too much dialogue. I'm interested in the game's lore, but the fact Arc Systems Works games literally have in-game libraries if you want to catch up is ... a bit much.

Yup, big kids with cash and a desire to relive parts of their youth. One of my professors in grad school would always say if you want a reference for how adult social interactions work, visit a playground. The only thing that changes is peoples' "professional" act in public. Ha! That's why I think the show Recess was kind of brilliant.

Well, I tend to believe what Cary says, so ... I guess go for it. Although I don't necessarily want to support buying multiple copies of things. lol I would suggest just buying games like that on PS4, since you don't run into the IT crap you might with computers and how varied they can get vs. what kind of system the game was made for. That and prohobitive initial cost is what keeps me from mainlining PC gaming.

You mean bass track, "Anasthesia (Pulling Teeth)." 

That's actually Cliff Burton's bass guitar hooked up to a wah pedal. lol

I actually might do that. I do have a good rapport with John.

Not so much Power Rangers, but Super Sentai, which is where the action footage used in PR is from. 

I don't understand your love of mobile games, but I wish I did. Seems like a cheaper alternative to console gaming. lol

Looks a lot more spacious on my laptop than on my phone though.

I knew there had to be something along the lines of my idea already. 

As I was told in grad school, "whenever you think you have a completely original thought, either you're a genius or you haven't looked hard enough to find previous research/examples about the same thing ... it's usually the latter." 

As I suspected

I remember this. I kind of want to watch these in order now. 

You could interact with the environment as far as finding things that reveal the character of other townspeople, and maybe you could open up new towns as you went along, but the crux of the game would be social interactions. 

I guess if you wanted, you could help other people with tasks, but the point is to make a game that basically resembles the first part of an RPG, but there is no "quest" aside from building social relationships. No big bad or good vs. evil storyline, and any ending to the game would just be you solidifying who you are and are not friends with. 

I actually think game grumps did a playthrough of that when jontron was still on the show.
