My thoughts on Capcom believing Resident Evil remake trilogy superior to the classic versions

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I recently found out about a rather interesting statement from Capcom. It was during an interview with GOG. When Capcom stated Resident Evil remake trilogy to be superior. This upset a lot of Resident Evil fans. Possibly made some of them question to get Resident Evil Requiem or not.

I felt both Resident Evil trilogies has their strengths. Resident Evil 3 remake was simply cut down way too much. It had enough content to easily been an huge RE2 remake DLC. We don't even get The Mercenaries mini game at all!!! There's a few changes I did like. Sadly none of it was from the game play. I will be honest when I fully played RE3 classic through GOG.

I was really surprised how vastly different the two versions were. They removed a lot of what helped RE3 stand out. Like you get quick time decisions that impacts many things. An in depth creating later creating enhance variation of ammo. Several locations weren't used in the newer version at all. Even the police station now playing as Carlos was even shorter.

A lot of enemies gotten removed as well. We were lucky to get Drain Deimos in a particular section of the game. Originally you also had to deal with Brain Suckers!!! Nearly every insect enemy gone in the newer version. They even removed at some spots randomized what could be there. For example, it could be zombies to zombie dogs to crows even Nemesis himself.

Majority of the uniqueness RE3 classic had gone!!! Brad shows up a few times in the campaign. His final appearance being the missing RE2 remake zombie appearance. Although in this particular case it made more sense to do that. We actually get to see how Marvin gotten bitten. You could kill off Zombie Brad but you don't get gain anything this time though.

I also felt the newer version removal of Grave Digger played heavily into it's repetitive design. Majority of the bosses was Nemesis with the only possible exception. If you could call it one was Nicholai at the very end of the campaign. You got to time firing your shot then the game is over. This sucks compared to how he could've gotten killed in the original version.

He also had an optional helicopter boss fight. Which was kinda unique for it's time. Sure it's a huge pain to deal with. You also gotta realize they pulled this off on PlayStation 1. A little after Metal Gear Solid and Syphon Filter. Bosses like this were difficult to animate during this era of gaming. All those games are in 3D making it rather impressive.

I actually prefer the later Nemesis appearances in the classic version more. The version without armor with his tentacles exposed I loved that!!! Then among devouring some of a deceased Tyrant, Nemesis mutates. I always found this final form a bit weird. I do like both of his brains are showcased. You gotta fight him off while pushing stuff in to help with the rail gun.

Among defeating him you get two choices Nemesis dies regardless. Either you leave him behind to get nukem or directly finish him off in a rather sick cut scene. I wasn't a fan of the later appearances of Nemesis in the newer version. Suddenly, he became a huge monster that quickly runs away. Easily make long distance jumps reminding me of a few Metal Gear boss fights.

If anyone wondering which MG boss fights? Peace Walker had some AI weapons with some similar animations. I do prefer the final form of Nemesis in the newer version. Although it was pretty cool to use the rail gun. I felt some aspects of this boss fight was a bit too easy. Not to mention, Nemesis was a little too easy to predict what he's going to do.

Unless it's the harder difficulties that suddenly broken. Yeah I really gotta mention something about the difficulty. RE3 classic is a little funny regarding it's difficulty. Expect to die a lot there's plenty of ways you can easily die. But eventually you'll get a bit better at the game. It's more forgiving than the two hardest difficulties in the newer version!!!

Neither version going to be a cake walk let's be honest. RE3 classic has additional stuff that helps you a bit more. RE3 remake does have buying DLCs including all the unlockables. I know a lot of people hated some RE games does that. Even those doesn't help much against the final Nemesis boss fight on those difficulties!!!

The newer version felt shorter than the original version. In RE3 remake you could more easily run pass enemies. Much fewer puzzles compared to the original game. Which heavily impacted everything in the long run. I do get the newer versions they wanted to more directly tie in events of the later entries. Despite having slightly more hidden weapons than the original version.

Let's be honest you really aren't missing much here. I highly recommend you play RE3 classic instead. It's simply way more of a complete RE experience. Now I always respected Resident Evil 1 and 2 remakes for many years. I think I'll say it best with several aspects were done better in the classic versions. Other aspects were surprisingly done a little better in the newer versions.

Resident Evil 1 remake greatly expanded what the classic version had. You get more locations with actual story to tie in everything. I do enjoy majority of the locations in both versions. I confess I do prefer the remake versions of those shared locations a bit more. Not to say those same locations didn't feel complete or anything.

I know stuff like this can differ with the RE fans. The newer locations I actually found quite interesting. They even made the location with infected sharks stand out more. I also prefer how you find the elevator that leads into the underground laboratory a bit more. Soundtracks can differ to a degree. Director's Cut DualShock Edition had the worst lol.

I will say the other two soundtracks holds up amazingly well. It's highly debatable which soundtrack is slightly better. You could easily argue some versions of the songs being better. Both versions has amazing sound effects for their time. Unlike most RE remakes, none of the enemies were cut. They even made the later Yawn boss fight a bit more interesting.

Sure the newer version was more heavily puzzle usage. A lot of RE fans actually loved that about the newer version. Controls is one of those it depends on whoever playing the game prefers more thing. I personally grew up with the classic tank controls. Which isn't as close as bad as a lot of people make it out to be.

I felt the controls are really close in all honestly. It's more about the mechanics than anything else. The newer version has secondary defense weapons with one being shared by the protagonists. This is great when you gotta run through areas while being low on ammo. Suddenly enemies that attack you gets prevented while your character automatically use those weapons.

Unless you switch that off otherwise it's a great idea. I do felt the original version as well as the first Director's Cut version. Sadly I never gotten to play but I seen people played it a few ways. The cut scene before the main menu always sticked with me. I actually prefer the character selection screen a bit more.

I will give credit to the newer version's intro it's quite good. There's just something unique as well as special about the original version's intro. Which can differ depending on versions of the game. You clearly see it's inspired by Romero's Dead series especially the older zombie movies. To me, regardless of which version that intro simply came off being scarier.

I love along with the endings, those sections were done in live action. Sure, in both versions the endings plays out very similar. I slightly do prefer the classic versions of those endings more. Voice acting wise, I do like both version's a lot for different reasons. In the newer version, you can tell they care about the game.

It's among the best usage of a voice cast in an RE game I felt. At the same time, we had such rememberable, cheesy voice overs. Not to mention, lines you couldn't make up today lol. In a sense, among hearing those lines to the newer versions. It kinda takes away from them a little bit. I do felt the enemies were done slightly better in the newer version too.

Now you gotta either blow off zombie's heads or use a particular item with an lighter to burn their corpses. Otherwise, they will transform into Crimson Heads. Imagine more aggressive faster zombies in a nut shell. Suddenly zombies are scarier with that mechanic in play. Some of the death animations was a little better in the classic version.

One of my favorites was your head gets decapitated by a hunter with a lot of blood. What also helped was the famous game over screen with such a painful scream. I don't think the newer version is a blow out like Capcom claims to be. Both versions has their strengths. In fact, I highly recommend playing both versions.

Also expect to die a lot until you figure out a lot of the campaigns. There's some notable differences between the two protagonists. I also prefer the classic Tyrant attacks Wesker a bit more cut scene. I have nothing against the newer version. Where the Tyrant instantly goes for an impale claw attack to Wesker. Keep in mind, the creature still inside it's tank while doing this.

I do see how that could scare people. But seeing the Tyrant go from about to attack you regardless who you're playing as. Suddenly going to attack Wesker was genius!!! I may also prefer Wesker's death animation a little more. By the way, it was confirmed a few ways yes Wesker did die. Even moments like Enrico gets killed was a little better in the classic version.

I will give the newer version credit making some aspects of that moment a little more interesting. I felt moments like those was a little better in the classic version. I do prefer some newer version of the boss fights. Mostly the later Yawn boss fight and Plant-42 respectively. Majority of them remains the same with the newer version having a few more bosses.

My favorite among those bosses by far was Crimson Head Prototype aka George Trevor. This Crimson Head locked inside a coffin hanged up by chains. Each death mask correctly places loosen an chain holding that coffin up. I especially love how this creature gets up from the coffin. Easily among the scariest bosses in Resident Evil remake series.

Obviously, the map is a little easier to memorize in the classic version. Some might prefer it for that reason. A major thing I liked about the classic version more. Later into the newer version, you got to fill this capsule up. However you can't get attacked or run for too long. Otherwise you'll explode making things intense.

Sure you could kill the enemies directly in that path to make it a bit easier. I'm glad I don't have to do this in the classic version. I do prefer some classic puzzles more over some of the newer ones. Majority of the puzzles are great testing your wits during game play. If I had to give a particular example. Both has you needing a particular key to unlock the door.

Inside this long room has paintings for a puzzle. Originally you had to correct select each stage of a person's life span. Which was a rather cool theme for such an puzzle. They changed it to being this somewhat interesting jewelry color puzzle. The big twist is among pressing the buttons alters the color revealing their true colors.

This puzzle is notably easier as well as shorter than the original puzzle. I also particular some key item usage a little more in the classic version. A perfect example is you'll need four crests to unlock more of the outside locations. They changed the key item to unlock the same door in the newer version. Which also gets used to unlock a different location later on with another of the same key item.

As for the crests, there's a small graveyard area with crows. You have to find one of the crests. Don't worry the rest of the crests already nearby. Correctly placing them all gives you one of the magnums in the game. It sucks they now became optional for a great firearm. I also slightly prefer the first hunter cut scene.

To me, even seen both versions of the same cut scene. I felt the classic version was a bit scarier. I slightly prefer the enemies' sounds more as well. I actually prefer the newer version weapon sound effects a bit more. Although I still prefer blowing an zombie's head off sound effect more in the classic version.

Let's be honest, both versions with both characters isn't much longer either. Some may consider the newer version being a little longer. Mostly due to how much they changed from the classic version. Very little stays the same if you played the classic version first. Honestly if you could mod either version with exactly how the other version does better.

This could be as close to a true definitive RE1 experience possible. End of the day, it's not by much which version ends up being superior. It's easy to prefer either version over the other for many reasons. Where it stands I do prefer the newer version a bit more. However this isn't a clear blow out. Two legendary survival horror games that held up incredibly well to time.

Ultimately it comes down to which aspects of both versions you like more. As for Resident Evil 2, I always been a huge fan of both versions for a long time. It meant so much to me to finally play RE2 classic again. Just like RE1 side of the topic I personally felt both versions does things. Just a little better not being a clear blow out either.

Both The Fourth Survivor and The Tofu Survivor I really prefer in the newer version. I wasn't a fan of how they originally went about those mini games myself. Depending on versions, RE2 classic could also have Extreme Battle mode or not. Obviously I gotta compare this to The Ghost Survivors. Both mini games has their strengths as well as weaknesses.

The Ghost Survivors are non canon what if scenarios. All the playable characters originally died during the campaign. Three of the four scenarios is get from point a to point b. But there's an exclusive enemy that's a huge obstacle for each character. The sheriff gets kill all the enemies inside a store. Which does include the three exclusive enemies from those scenarios.

My big issue is these were more meant for hardcore RE players. There's a lot that could go wrong in all those scenarios. I do like how greatly each of the scenarios differs from each other. Extreme Battle mode has Leon, Claire, Ada and surprisingly Claire's brother Chris respectively. This is broken up into a few stages.

Majority of them is simply get to point a to point b. The final stage throws a huge curve ball. You must collect all the anti-virus bombs. Among collected the last one just leave that location to end the run. This felt more arcade style in comparison. There's slightly more difficulty levels than The Ghost Survivors. You also could run into G4 William as well.

I felt Extreme Battle mode is better balanced difficulty wise. I won't sugar coat this any further I prefer it over The Ghost Survivors. I do respect the intention of that mini game. I just felt parts of it could've been done a bit differently. There's more customization in the newer version. You easily can swap em out on the fly.

This is way better than you must get to the police station yes difficulty matters. If you do so without picking up any ammo. Go down the stairs to see if Zombie Brad there or not. If he is, you can now pick up ammo. He's among the strongest zombies in the game. But killing him gives you a particular key to a closet.

What's inside differs for the two protagonists. For Leon, he gets a choice of two additional outfits to wear. For Claire, she gets one additional outfit with a gun. Revolver Ocelot much? LOL it's the same gun how could I not make that joke come on? There's slightly more hidden weapons in the newer version.

I prefer the classic version of the shared hidden weapons a bit more. Some enemies were removed from the newer version. Not to mention, there's multiple G-Types that's only in the sewer. Originally you face one as the first boss in either character's 1st campaigns. Yes both versions has two versions of each character's campaigns respectively.

Among a closer look I gotta agree the classic version of the later scenarios was done better. In the newer version now called 2nd Run. Majority of the stuff in the police station done already. You can leave the police station way sooner. Beyond that, almost the remind of those campaigns is the same. The only remaining big difference is now you gotta face an additional true final boss.

G5 William whose remotely about the same. I felt the newer version tanks more damage. Both versions of that final boss fight differs. The classic camera view you remotely could see the distance between you and the monster. In the newer version, now in this unique third person camera style. You can directly look at G5 William now.

Personally I felt not being fully able to see him was much scarier. There also was more notable interaction between the two protagonist than in the newer version. Although, they added in a quick flirt cut scene. Scenario B was a vastly different beast for both characters. If you haven't played those versions of the campaign.

You may struggle a bit with learning everything again. It was essentially four RE games in one done right not sorry RE6 lol. This also affects Ben and Chief Irons' death cut scenes as well. Scenario B does change up the boss lineup to a degree as well. No question I greatly prefer Scenario B over 2nd Run versions of those campaigns.

Another notable difference is particular stuff only Leon could do. In comparison to stuff only Claire could do. I will agree this was a rather unique concept. Sure it could be considered taking some stuff away from the overall experience. Originally, both the protagonists can get all four keys that's card suite theme.

They changed to Leon gets the Clover Key while Claire gets the Heart Key. Suddenly, a few locations as either character you can't go originally makes more sense. Leon faces both the Alligator and Super Tyrant bosses in his campaigns. In vice versa, Claire gets to face G4 William instead. Which is kinda interesting because originally there was no campaigns.

You could face all William forms prior to this. Claire's 2nd Run version is the only RE2 campaign you can face every form of William in a single run!!! Clearly this was the newer version's attempt to differ things between the campaigns. I just felt the classic version differs way more in comparison. I do respect the newer version has two soundtrack including the classic RE2 soundtrack.

I do like the newer RE2 soundtrack myself. I simply prefer the classic RE2 soundtrack a bit more. I also agree both has some truly amazing sound effects. I always prefer RE2 classic's a bit more. Especially when you blow zombies apart I love that!!! Of course, a few spots you can fire directly at the camera. I personally love that sound effect too.

I'll be honest I do slightly prefer the classic enemy sounds more. I will say I do prefer the boss fights more in the newer version. Although not by much some of those I do prefer in the classic version more. A good example being G2 William. I simply love we go outside this vehicle used for a huge moving platform.

Then suddenly we get to see William transform then jumps down. This occurs in both character's Scenario As respectively. There's a later William encounter he attempts to claw ya from above. Now that was way scarier than anything the newer version does!!! Some characters I felt were notably done in the newer version.

I also prefer the Tyrant's appearance with a hat more. I kinda felt how they went about the tyrant outside his boss fight vastly different. Originally, he only appears in either character's Scenario B campaigns. Now in the newer version, the Tyrant appears in every version of the campaign. Also he was automatically show up at several locations.

I felt majority of those was done well for it's time. They changed this to now he pursues either character mostly in the police station. There's a few exceptions with a rather cool cut scene. Tyrant attempts to get Claire and Sherry. Out of no where he gets one shot by William. I absolutely loved this moment a lot. William always been among my favorite RE monsters.

As for Sherry/Ada portions of the campaigns. Originally with a few minor differences. You quickly do a crate puzzle to get the Clover Key. Then head back to where you gotten separated from whoever's campaign you're playing. They threw over the key they just picked up then leaves. They later are briefly playable in the sewers.

This is the most both these secondary playable characters differs. Sherry simply picks up one of your next key items. Ada explores a little bit in the sewers. Vastly different experiences in the newer version. Sherry gets this chasing/stealth section now. You run away from Chief Irons during it. Ada gets a more interesting section with a death puzzle to survive.

They even put one of her gadgets to use as well. Scenario B does affect some moments with them as well. For Ada, in Scenario A she gets shot to fall off the rails. But in Scenario B, she pisses off the Tyrant to supposedly die upsetting Leon. She mysteriously comes back with a rocket launcher. Which she also does for Claire no joke despite never officially met her.

Both versions of the Super Tyrant boss fights is vastly different as well. Originally, he's quite similar to Tyrant-103 in the original Resident Evil. Both ends with a rocket launcher shot. Although you still have to use the rocket launcher to end the boss fight. Super Tyrant has a few more attacks including an instant death attack.

A vastly different look for that transformation. I actually prefer the classic look way more. I just couldn't get into the newer version of the same form. I do prefer the newer version of the Alligator boss fight. But I prefer the fast kill method in the classic version more. You simply go to this button to press. It drops an tank simply wait for the Alligator to put the tank in it's mouth.

Fire a shot to blow it's fricking head off!!! This was such a sick animation for it's time I love it!!! I also like some versions of RE2 classic has a code for infinite ammo. Although in the newer version, if you maintain to meet the requirement for limiting your shots. As The Sheriff in The Ghost Survivors, you'll get cat ears that does the same thing.

It's safe to say give me that code!!! I know some versions of RE2 were on two discs. Honestly it was a clever design decision. Majority of everything else on both discs. The only real difference between who you play as in the campaigns. I confess I do like either PS1 version disc designs I had both of them. Let's put it this way doing this with Devil May Cry 2 made no sense!!!

People often forget for multiple disc PS1 games. You can easily open up the disc tray to swap out discs. Each campaign being a few hours long quickly made this not an issue. I also prefer the reveal of Marvin turned into a zombie in the classic version more. You finally meet up with him to suddenly see his appearance changed in a cut scene.

I also prefer Marvin's cut scene in either Scenario As. Marvin fills you in what's going on. Which ends with him forcing you to leave with a gun pointed at ya. In the newer version, he quickly saves you from a zombie. Marvin had more voice overs in the newer version. This is one of those aspects parts from both versions would've made it way better thing.

Either you get those cut scenes or you hear more dialogue from Marvin? I do love the police station in both versions. I slightly prefer the classic version a bit more. It's nothing personal against the newer version either. The sewers I do get more in the newer version. For me, either version regardless of campaigns felt among the shorter sections of those RE games.

Of course, we gotta talk about the final location being a well hidden underground laboratory. I actually felt they made it a bit too short in the newer version. I also prefer the actual look of the laboratory as a whole more in the classic version. I just felt all the stuff that happens being more interesting in the classic version.

Again I'm not saying it's boring at all in the newer version. It's a bit tricky to explain unless you played both versions. One notable change is William after getting hit with acid attacks Annette in the newer version. Suddenly, you realize how much of a threat that creature is. I will give credit for making Ivys actually scary!!!

The classic version works for the most part. But in the remake version, Ivys became instant death enemies. Unless you prevent them from killing you. You also have to burn em to kill off. By default you gotta run past hoping you don't get grab. Sometimes you could use one of your firearms. Then keep on firing until they fall down.

I don't recommend doing that since they can be surprisingly tanker than they appear to be. They also have this truly sick newer appearance I love so much!!! I do got to discuss the puzzles. None of them are shared this time around. Although many key items are presented in both versions. I do prefer the chess theme key items has more interesting usage in the newer version.

I felt the newer version had slightly tricky puzzles to solve. I do like you have the option in the classic version. When you find wire you could use it on a few spots to prevent zombies getting inside. You won't be able to prevent all locations. I do love how they changed this in the newer version. Zombies that's outside the building will attempt to break their way inside.

You could find wood to board up the windows or kill off the zombies. Sadly the iconic zombie sections with some of the zombie's arms. Trying to get ya from the classic version not in there. Another missing thing was tone down the gore. There's no question I prefer the classic version's gore more. In the newer version you could blow off zombie heads.

Which is easily it's best usage of gore in that version. Originally you could cut, shoot or blown off pieces of zombies!!! One of my personal favorite classic RE animations is blowing zombies in half. This was such a cool animation for it's time. Often doesn't kill off zombies afterwards. I was hoping slightly more gore in the newer version.

Obviously people going to be funny with the controls. Again it depends on your taste classic tank controls or this rather unique third person shooter style? I highly recommend both versions of this game. For me this is among the hardest to pick a definitive version because they're both that damn great!!! Again I don't think RE2 remake better or not is superior.

I strongly felt just like RE1, both versions has some truly amazing things over each other. The newer version of RE2 you could expand the inventory more than once. Originally if you go the extra route unlock a room. Inside a locker you have the option to take either an submachine or additional inventory slots.

Which simply ups your default inventory slot amount up by two. However whatever's left in that locker in Scenario B is what the other playable character gets. The newer version has more room of an inventory you can use. You even can drop things on the fly too. Also you don't have to worry about finding ink ribbons to save your process.

Let's be honest, this is a rather minor issue for experienced RE players. I just don't like how some of them makes such a thing a big deal when it never was in the first place. I do actually prefer the classic saving system for a great reason. Majority of modes has particular colors. It may take a little time to memorize which color represents what.

This greatly helps you figure out which save you wanna play. I actually wished they would've brought this feature back as well. The newer version was more designed to get speed ran by people. Which means it's actually easier to get around the enemies. For Lickers, walking slow hoping other enemies aren't nearby.

You can easily get around them instead of they automatically know you're there ready to attack ya. You also get some defense weapons to help off some of the enemies as well. They did change some aspects of the story. Mostly the Tyrant himself being the best example. Originally the Tyrant was intended to locate and bring an G-Virus sample.

The little girl unknowingly had the sample. They changed it to the Tyrant acts more like removing people revealing the truth. Which made more sense in comparison. Both versions was working for Umbrella. The later reason just lines up more with the corporation. They did add in another location for Claire's campaigns.

Sherry's portion takes place at the orphanage. Later on, Claire gets to explore there for a little while. This was a nice surprise for Claire's portion of the game. I know I'm going rather in depth with this RE topic. I personally felt I should to help prove an point. With the possible exception of RE3 remake not superior than the classic version.

Most RE fans felt the world needs both versions of the Resident Evil trilogies. It's purely up to debate which each RE fan considers superior? It kills me Capcom themselves didn't see the demand for the classic RE trilogy. They even stated the newer RE trilogy being superior hurts a lot. There's a few factors what this statement could mean.

Either they didn't realize there was a demand for them at all. Which doesn't make any real sense. There's plenty of examples the RE fans went out of their way to express. How much they really wanted those RE games back. They didn't want to go through the trouble of bringing them back fully. Let's be honest, there's several game companies that's been bringing back many classic video games.

They easily could've gotten any of those companies to port those classic RE games to consoles. I know those classic RE games now on PS4/PS5 respectively. Maybe they felt it's easier to get the newer versions working on most platforms. However RE classic trilogy is a lot smaller in data size. Which were all within Megabytes to the newer versions being more Gigabytes.

The newer versions are a lot bigger in data size is the point. GOG done a truly amazing job bringing back the classic RE trilogy. Another possible reason could be Capcom didn't care enough to do it. I felt a lot of Resident Evil fans could side with that reason. For the most part both RE trilogies means a lot to the RE fans!!!

Majority of us wants most of those RE games to play!!! Most of them are truly amazing survival horror games. Now all of a sudden why we didn't get a proper Dino Crisis revival making more sense. We were lucky to get the first two Dino Crisis games on GOG after all. Honestly, it's amazing they didn't even know their own fan base like this.

Resident Evil is among the best selling video game franchises in the world. Already big enough people within Hollywood knows of the franchise. Each newer main installment heavily hyped up by the fans including myself. I do wanna play Resident Evil Requiem soon. I know big game companies aren't perfect either.

I'm thankfully to currently have access to all those Resident Evil games. Sure it would be nice to get more RE games onto GOG in the near future just saying. What do we the fans needs to do for you Capcom to see how much we want something? A lot of us wants Code: Veronica and Dino Crisis to get remakes.

This one statement causes a lot of videos to show up on YouTube. Honestly, the point is Capcom failed to know it's own RE fan base like this!!! I know there's some deeply passionate RE fans within the community. Bringing those classic RE games in some form meant the world to em. I felt I went on long enough Capcom better do their research.

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream follow up

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I didn't plan on revisiting I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. As in the classic horror DOS game. My old review was way back in 2019 a long time now. I guess time has little meaning to these protagonists. Yesterday, GOG updated the game to be the newest version. You know the same version that's on consoles earlier this year?

Here is a link to my old review of this game down below...

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream (2025 version)

Thankfully I didn't have to buy the same game again. I wasn't expecting that to happen with this since it's not an Bethesda video game. Although Nightdive was involved with this newer version. This actually on a different engine from majority of their remastered games on KEX engine. The engine in question was later used on Beat 'Em Up Collection (QUByte Classics).

Not to be confused with Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle. Which so happens to have seven beat em up games as well. A brief summary how this game works. It's based on a story of the same name by Harlan Ellison. Speaking of Ellison, he voices AM an AI that's taken over the world. For it's personal amusement forced five people into simulations representing what some considers to be their personal hell!!!

It's kinda amusing parts of this concept later used in Saints Row IV funny enough. You get five characters to play as. The game actually allows you to do their sections in any order. The endgame will follow shortly among finishing up their sections. I also gotta say there's some decent voice acting. This newer version was designed to work with controllers.

Unfortunately my controller didn't work with the game. Which is just a minor setback since it's a horror point & click game. I love how each of their stories differs so much. At the same time, all of it ties in together because AM torturing them all. It's very sadistic of a concept as inhumanly possible. You also get a decent size inventory system.

I dislike when you are limited how much you could use. I know some prefer it to be more limited. Which does make some of those similar style games more difficult. Sometimes forces in some back tracking. There was some back tracking during my newer playthrough. You might be surprise some of the topics this game covers.

As for achievement/trophy hunting it's easier than expected. You can find plenty of guides to make sure you get them all. It doesn't even include an achievement/trophy for beating the game. Not to mention, Nimdok's section lacks achievements/trophies altogether. To me both of those decisions was rather unusual.

Then again this game is rather unusual to begin with. I kinda hope the same engine gets used on a newer version of Harvester. This wasn't meant to be a scary game. I do see ways it could scare some people though. This is more about some twisted logic than anything else. Maybe not as out there as The Dream Machine.

Another horror point & click game I need to eventually finish. If you wanna see some weird stuff go play that!!! Back to this, it will take you a few hours following an guide to beat the game. It heavily plays off a moral system. If you keep doing good things, it'll help your chances at beating AM later. But you keep doing bad things not so much.

Honestly, a great game that does such an system is Fallout: New Vegas. There's some complexity within it's surprisingly simplify design. Here's a game you could die in if you aren't careful. Thankfully for the most part you can take your sweet time to play the game. I always welcome that for games you have a lot to do before finishing out sections.

Yes this game held up better than I expected. This is a sleeper hit for the genre. There's plenty of YouTubers that covered the game over the years. There's some cool bonus stuff in the newer version. Nothing actually new within the game itself. You can check out some stuff like listening to songs from it's soundtrack.

I will say this game plays a lot better than what I remembered of the DOS version. I also wish I could figure out to make the game's screen smaller. A lot of stuff you gotta do isn't that clear to figure out on your own. Unless you played through the game enough times. Games like this I prefer to play em windowed.

Basically it doesn't cover the entire screen. You could easily look up stuff. To be fair, it works much better than the original version in that area. If you tried to look stuff up while playing DOS games. The screen suddenly becomes smaller. It doesn't fit properly when you make it bigger. Unless you know how to fix it.

Thank god I never had that issue with this newer version. This is quite faithful to the original version. On those grounds the original story this game based on. I think the author who passed away would've enjoyed this version of the game more. This was a great remastered of a forgotten classic. I do recommend more people check this game out soon.

Shriek if You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th (2000) review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, there was another horror parody movie about Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. Which so happened to come out the same year as Scream 3 aas well as the original Scary Movie. It's called Shriek if You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th. I recently watched this on Tubi I'll give you my thoughts over reviewing the movie.

Shriek if You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th (2000)

Just like the original Scary Movie. Despite all the movies they parodied. It mostly was parodying the original Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer respectively. This actually came out last in the year of 2000. I strongly felt this is ripping off the original Scary Movie more than anything. Some of the same scenes gotten parodied.

Simply done differently to the point they were made to be incredibly stupid. Not even five minutes into the movie hiding it's a horror parody movie. This is much less focus than Scary Movie. I even felt Scary Movie 2 that parodied a lot more movies was done better!!! Originally the killer wore a hockey mask.

The killer stupidly caught his mask on fire. Which melted to look like an huge Ghostface mask. Honestly I prefer that later mask more. This movie barely takes itself seriously. Even when you expect it should at times. I also gotta mention the late rapper Coolio in the movie. It's a bit better of a performance than his role in Dracula 3000.

This movie is all over the place like a lot of newer parody movies. Nothing truly comes together at all. Currently the worst Ghostface horror movie I ever seen!!! None of the characters were remotely likeable. The closest characters I liked so happened to be played by Tom Arnold. I didn't expect Arnold to be in this movie!!!

There's some rather loose horror references. Like this kid dressed up like Chucky. Then says the famous Good Guys line. Honestly, Stan Helsing was a more entertaining movie than this!!! This high school has so many classes that couldn't be in real high schools. A lot of these jokes hit missing with little to none gets a little laugh.

The movie itself is kinda lackluster at best. Even the kills weren't anything worth writing home again. They don't even connect I Know What You Did Last Summer plot to everything. It's sorta in your face just never properly finishes. Even The Simpsons with Treehouse of Horror 10's I Know What You Diddily-Iddily-Did story better.

Scary Movie series had some dumb characters. Somehow the characters in this made them look like geniuses!!! There was one weird special effect usage with Coolio's character's death. It was very out of place with everything else in the movie. You can tell this had a smaller budget than Scary Movie 1.

Don't expect very much while watching this movie. Especially don't compare it to Scream series. Even Scream 3 way better than this!!! Honestly, this was better than many parody movies I seen. It felt like a huge waste of time. There's little to no real reason to watch this. Clearly 2000 had better Ghostface movies you could watch.

The main target was the new student. Which by itself doesn't make much sense. I figured to reveal who was the killer trust me it's kinda stupid. The killer was an evil twin cousin of the main security guy I'm not kidding. If you seen Scooby-Doo and the Boo Brothers movie. A similar twist involving this one character being the sheriff's twin brother.

Therefore, this cousin twist comes off being uninspired. It's almost like they couldn't think of a way to make the identity reveal interesting. The killer wore so many masks before getting fully unmasked. Arnold also in a cameo for Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare. A movie I found more entertaining than this!!!

Ultimately the good Arnold character was going to let his cousin go. Not long after that, shot him a few times. As I previously stated this entire movie doesn't make any sense. The best death in the movie was accidental that caused an explosion. Honestly, how they parodied the Scream scenes were all done horribly.

I felt the jokes went on too long. Not to mention, somehow they made such iconic moments. Into some of the stupidest, terrible variations of them. It virtually screams being a rip off of Scary Movie 1. At least Scary Movie fully came together with some great jokes. The only small positive is somehow it's slightly better than Scary Movie 5.

Let's be brutally honest, that's not really saying much. Scary Movie 4 had the famous Dr. Phil and Shaq scene. A few rememberable moments following that. It's safe to say that's better than this too. Scary Movie 3 despite not being done by the Wayan brothers was a lot funnier!!! Let's not compare this to the first three Scary Movie films.

It's amazing they made Ghostface such a lackluster slash villain here. I also gotta mention the later portions took place on Friday the 13th. You know the famous bad luck days of the year? Just like how they used I Know What You Did Last Summer. This also never truly came together at all. Honestly, I recommend watching Scream series as well as the original Scary Movie.

Those Ghostface movies are way better than this garbage!!! You could easily get confuse with the weird pacing. You also get a lot of random stuff you try to see. Sometimes you might need to rewind a little bit then pause. Just to see what you miss isn't fun at all. This movie felt like a cheap excuse of making their own Ghostface movie.

Considering it's budget of $5 million dollars. I seen some amazing lower budget horror movies!!! I don't think it's about how much money you have. It's more about how well you use your money. Even Popeye's Revenge had more going for it than this!!! Let's not even compare this to Screamboat a much better lower budget horror movie!!!

Thankfully you could watch this for free on Tubi. Easily the only way I recommend watching this. Seriously whose going to buy this movie on any services? Virtually nothing works with the deaths being far less interesting than expected. Just imagine a version of Scream that's low budget filled with bad jokes you'll get this!!!

My Favorite Villains theme Death Battle episodes

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, some of my absolute favorite Death Battle episodes. Actually were more villain theme that ended up being more interesting than expected. I know this might be a little early since the new season approaching it's end. We don't know if any remaining unconfirmed match up episodes going to be villain theme or not.

I know Gru vs Megamind going to happen soon. But they were villains that ended up becoming heroes. I'm not sure if I could work with that for this blog entry. If I had chosen to wait on doing this or not. I will say this though I'm very sure it's going to be a great episode. I just felt bad for Megamind fans last year with not great stuff for Megamind franchise.

Joker vs Sweet Tooth

I actually have a personal connection on a few fronts with this match up. This was one of my most wanted child hood matches. I even gotten my original Death Battle prediction blog on ScrewAttack's front page. Back when it was ScrewAttack a long time ago. I always been a huge fan of both these evil clown characters.

My prediction came true Joker did indeed won. Sadly this might be the only time they'll do Twisted Metal on the show. At the same time, this was a rather fair match up for both characters. Right now people wants Joker to face Green Goblin!!! Yeah no thank you that's going to suck. Especially compared to this episode it's no contest.

I loved this starts as a car combat scenario. At one point, Joker gets inside his ice cream truck. The animation for the fight was amazing. Most of the episode still holds up incredibly well. Despite Season 3 being one of my least favorite seasons. This was a great one to do in 3D animation. It really lived up to my expectations.

Shredder vs Silver Samurai

I know some might be a little confusing. Not about including the solo match up with an TMNT villain character. More on the fact both of them has traits of samurais and ninjas. If you know the actual history of ninjas. They had personal dislike to how governments at that time being ran. Originally started with farmers funny enough that stood a stand against em.

Both of them has a recurring capable mutant enemy. Obviously in most TMNT franchise, Shredder is the turtles' arch enemy. Silver Samurai is one of Wolverine's greatest enemies. Considering Wolverine has hundreds of years worth of experience that's saying something. It's a rather unique take on the concept of ninja vs samurai.

Silver Samurai had superior armor with his mutant powers increases his sword's cuts. Not a lot of people knows main TMNT comic version of Shredder. Actually mastered most fighting styles like Wolverine. I'm very surprised they didn't use that in their long list of arguments. I was quite happy to see Shredder on the show.

Carnage vs Lucy

This was a rather unexpected one for it's time. Literately no one knew this was coming when it gotten announced. In fact, at the time most DB viewers didn't even know who Lucy was. Of course I did since I seen the show. I later fully read the manga series as well. This is more of an antihero taking on an villain.

Lucy is essentially a neutral character. She also suffers from multiple personalities. One of her newer personalities is such a sweet person. As the events went on, she ended up doing some good things. It doesn't change the fact she murdered a lot of people. She has some form of humanity while Carnage virtually none at all.

I am a huge fan of both these characters. I really was expected they went for Carnage!!! Easily, among the most evil of Spider-Man's enemies. Then we have this chick of a nearly extinct species. Who has many invisible, longer arms. Capable of easily ripping humans apart with ease. This sounds like a great one to do for an Halloween episode right?

Ultron vs Sigma

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite took away some of it's appeal. I really glad they didn't do Ultron vs Brainiac. Which in recent years I kept finding to be a bit boring. Especially compared to this one what a great idea!!! Two computer viruses with some strong connections. Sigma was originally meant to fight against Mavericks.

He ended becoming the worst of them through a weird fuse infection thing. He was designed to not get infected by the Maverick Virus. Ultron is usually fighting the Avengers. It's not often he fights anyone alone either. This AI was so dangerous, they even attempted to prevent his creation. Obviously they couldn't stop that from happening like Skynet lol.

Oh come on you knew that Terminator joke was coming lol. I also love they went for a war theme. At the time, we needed a better example than Eggman vs Wily. Someone had to say it oh okay!!! I simply love everything about this episode. I would even dare to say these two are virtually the same character.

Ganondorf vs Dracula

Easily among my most personal favorites. I always disliked Ganon's original episode. No I didn't want him to die because he killed Bowser either. It just came off as a rather unfair match up that's rigged. Bowser had no real way to put Ganon down for good. Despite how ridiculous he truly was with magic. Not to mention both these matches could be recreated in Super Smash Brothers series now.

Now putting Ganon against Dracula was pure genius!!! Not only this made more sense than his last episode. You also could argue they virtually are the same character as well. Even bringing in their original game's release dates. Ganon came first by couple months in 1986. Although the United States gotten the original Castlevania first by a few months the following year.

Two dark lords with rather impressive feats. Who wouldn't wanna see these two go at it? Even death is a small thing they always come back. Both widely known for impressive magic usage. A lot of big named villains under their command. A truly sick 3D animation fight. This is one of my absolute favorite Halloween Death Battle episodes to date.

Venom vs Crona

This would be a spiritual successor to Carnage vs Lucy. Which does get referenced in the actual episode. I simply love the concept of this match up. It's essentially two on two with both duos having a rather unique connection. Both had a parasitic partner that's more ready to fight. At times must deal with their human hosts in many situations.

The fight animation was amazing stuff. It's a match up as soon as I seen. I already knew which duo going to win. This was a great one for Halloween as well. What surprised me was their actual connections thank you Death Battle wiki. I was happy Soul Eater finally gotten onto the show. More recently with Maka vs Ruby another great episode as well.

I also love how unexpected of a match up this was for it's time. Crona's gender I don't think ever gotten revealed. It didn't affect things much though. These two duos were vastly different in many ways. I actually wish the fight was a little bit longer. I'm quite happy with what we were given as well. It was a great introduction for Soul Eater on the show.

Lex Luthor vs Doctor Doom

I know hard to believe any Marvel vs DC match up made the lineup here. Let's be honest these two has a rather impressive list of feats. I'm a bigger fan of Doctor Doom myself. This was a little closer than what I was expecting honestly. The fight song I absolutely love it!!! This was both characters' second episode on the show.

I actually felt for Doctor Doom it truly was his best to date. I kept going between both of Luthor's episodes honestly. I seriously love both those episodes a lot as well. I knew Doctor Doom had some critical advantages. If anyone had a great chance lasting a long time it's Luthor. To be fair, on both his episodes they kept mentioning kryptonite weaponry isn't the best.

I would be more terrified of the man who easily steal deity's powers with a device. I simply love everything about this episode. Both of them are heavily massive pain in the buttocks for everyone. I was really happy with the actual episode. I couldn't even change a single thing either. Honestly, it's a great episode representing villains on the show.

Goku Black vs Reverse-Flash

Hell yeah I really love this episode!!! Two broken time theme evil doppelganger villains going at it. Goku and The Flash with some notable changes. Reverse-Flash actually has more crazier abilities from his good counterpart. Goku Black also differs in a few ways from how Goku fights as well. Considering this was added in towards an end of a season it's great!!!

Both couldn't stay dead regarding different time related factors. Let's put it this way if neither had a solid way to put the other down. This actually would've been a fight with no end. I love time travel gotten used in the actual fight. They even tie it in with another Flash episode. I got a lot of respect for Reverse-Flash from The Flash show on The CW.

I personally do not like Goku Black at all!!! In fact, when he's about to die the first time. I really lit up with such joy god I must be a horrible person lol. I also love how they differ from their hero counterparts. At the same time, this ended up being more unique and exciting. This episode does a great job with it's creativity.

DIO vs Alucard

Another personal favorite among their Halloween episodes. Two unusual manga/anime villains going at it. Alucard had a few million souls with a rather long list of abilities. DIO has two Stands with The World capable of stopping time. Vampires is one of several types among demons for those didn't know. However in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, vampires aren't demons there.

Two vastly different vampire characters. Alucard started as a villain that ended up becoming an antihero. DIO was the main antagonist of two Parts in the original JoJo universe. Parts 1 and 3 for anyone curious there you go. I really love every aspect of the entire episode. The fight song is among my favorites for an Halloween episode.

It's crazy we get a vastly different portrayal of Dracula from the Castlevania version. This was a weird yet unique vampire episode. You may never see anything like it ever again!!! I'm actually a huge fan of both these characters being more of an Alucard fan truthfully. I'm glad another vampire won on the show.

Black Adam vs Apocalypse

This was a rather huge deal for me. Back when an friend's private chat on Facebook had four people. Majority of the group sided with Black Adam. I was the odd one out choosing Apocalypse. Then Apocalypse won on their show surprised all three of them. I also previously done a few fight predictions on this match up.

I do agree this had to get done on the show. Back when there's a few possibilities left for Marvel vs DC episodes. I'm a huge fan of both these characters being more of an Apocalypse fan. I'm more of an X-Men fan in that regard it shouldn't that much of a surprise. I absolutely loved almost everything about the episode.

I personally wish they would've changed some of Apocalypse's voice overs. It was a bit trickery to understand some of the stuff he's saying. I know both has an Egyptian background. I actually meant how his voice over said some lines was a bit difficult to make out among hearing it. Other than that, the fight song is among my favorites as well.

Sauron vs Lich King

I actually predicted in a old video. Sauron was going to face Lich King from Warcraft. My other main guess was Voldemort from Harry Potter. Personally hell yeah they went with the more bad match up!!! These two are strikingly similar even with major differences. A lot of DB viewers didn't properly understand The Lord of the Rings franchise especially Sauron.

I knew Sauron was going to easily win this fight. Some could view it a bit rigged due to how Sauron gotten defeated in the canon of the stories. I like both represent the opposite environments. Sauron has this sick darker, lava possibly hellish theme. Lich King was more of the colder, ice environments. This by itself gotten me very interested.

The 3D animation alone was among my favorites to date. Sauron's 3D model was truly amazing!!! It's no secret I really love this episode with a huge passion. I do like medieval stuff to a degree see what I did there? LOL on a more serious note they nailed it perfectly. I would love more of either franchise on the show in the near future.

Frieza vs Megatron

I gotta give this one credit right out the gate. For a match up I didn't want, it quickly gotten me sold. Among first seeing the full fight animation. Some question some aspects of their research. Who truly is more powerful no longer matters because Frieza found a faster training method. Even if Megatron had the stats, Frieza wasn't far behind.

I simply love we put an powerful alien against an powerful giant robot on the show. This shouldn't work at all honestly. Somehow it works incredibly well!!! I really enjoyed the entire episode as a whole. I never considered this match up prior to it's announcement. Possibly due to not even knowing it was a thing either.

Thanks to Death Battle wiki pointing out their connections. These two were more similar than I even realized!!! I will confess I was rooting for Frieza there I said it. I don't think any version of Megatron boring either. I just knew their otaku bias was going to show up again. For such a weird mess up, it earned my respect.

Galactus vs Unicron

Now here's a rather epic match up I wanted for a long time. In fact, most of the viewers on this show as well. Two of the biggest characters they ever done!!! Both being multiversal beings with some strong similarities. Just imaging a lot of planets getting blown up gotten me excited for this. Even not having Torrian animating this 3D fight.

OMG it was truly mind blowing stuff!!! It was simply unbelievable how damn great the animation turned out to be. I absolutely loved everything about this episode. This was one of those original big requests they had for a long time to do. I had several versions of predicting this match up. My finalized prediction actually in a post I made for my YouTube account.

I ended up siding with Galactus. This was a rather complex match up at it's core. I love they really went the distance with this one. It even blew the newest version of Goku vs Superman episode away!!! Easily among my favorite season finales to date. They really done justice to both these tyrants. I personally couldn't ask for anything else.

Bowser vs Eggman

Prior to actually happening, this was one of my biggest requests to date. I know some people might get tired of Mario vs Sonic. I felt this was a rather necessary one to do on the show. Two legendary video game villains with a long list of connections. At their core, they heavily played off of magic vs science theme.

Let's be honest, this easily blew Wily vs Eggman away!!! This was both characters' second episodes. Easily they're best one on the show. There's so many crazy possibilities to consider. I loved they went for a war theme fight animation. Personally one on one could've been too short. Not to mention, it wouldn't help people understand why Bowser wins against him either.

By doing a war with their armies. You truly see how these two tyrants differ in how they do things. I confess I'm a bigger Eggman fan myself. After doing research, I quickly went for Bowser. I'll give Eggman credit he put up quite a fight indeed. This was way better than Bowser vs Ganon it's not even close!!!

Shigaraki vs Mahito (current season)

It's been a few months since they done Shigaraki vs Mahito on the show. I figured it deserved a spot in the lineup as well. I love they heavily play off don't get touch by either villain character. They had some strong similarities since Mahito was inspired by Shigaraki. We get two unique villain characters going at it.

Shigaraki showcase how he was Deku's greatest enemy. In vice versa, Mahito was lucky Shigaraki didn't kill him on the spot. I knew from my research Shigaraki going to easily win this fight. I personally do not like Mahito either. Seeing him die the fact he does actually made me quite happy. We get two vastly different written villains.

Shigaraki had a lot of tragedies in his life. Mahito was simply born out of people's inner ugliness. Shigaraki had plenty of not pleasant stuff to become an villain. Mahito was never going to be good being an pure evil cursed spirit. The fight animation was rather impressive. I simply loved everything about the episode myself.

Some of my Favorite Animals Mess Up Edition

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, Halloween is a few weeks away. I just gotten a rather unique, unexpected idea for a blog. One that perfectly plays into so many things at once. Not only I'll reveal some of my favorite animals. I'm sure most of them going to be quite scary to people. I also felt this gives you a better idea how I view so many things as well.

1. Hammerhead Sharks

Believe it or not, I do like some breeds among sharks. My personal favorite always been Hammerhead Sharks. Of course, other breeds like Great White Sharks among my favorites. I think we all can agree Hammerhead Sharks easily stands out. Such an unique head appearance. You could never confuse it with any other shark breeds.

Some franchises had rather interesting usage of this shark breed. Let's take the cartoon show Street Sharks for an example. The four brothers gotten mutated by Dr. Paradigm. Each became an humanoid shark creature with Jab being mixed with Hammerhead Shark. I simply love the appearance so much of this shark.

2. Piranhas

One of my personal favorite fishes in the world. So happens to be one of the most vicious in groups. Piranhas are actually worst to be swarmed by in the water than most shark breeds. I also thought their actual appearance was interesting. They easily stand out from most fish breeds. David Copperfield once done a water tank magic trick with them.

By now this should give you an idea which dangerous creatures I think interesting. Piranhas should get their own signs. Don't go into the water because of piranhas are in there thing. Although they easily could've close off those locations to save em the trouble. Piranhas are as basic and primate as fishy possible.

3. Anacondas

Me and my wife are huge fans of snakes in general. I easily could've went with several venomous snake breeds. The one snake breed I always found the most interesting was Anacondas. The largest snake breed in the entire world. These snakes can easily eat full grown people. It's no surprise there's movies about them attacking people.

It's true some smaller snake breeds is worst when it comes to getting bite. Some of the most venomous snakes differ in the amount of venom they give out. To me, getting suddenly crushed by an Anaconda worst than that. It's difficult to imagine the actual size of them too. Anacondas are such amazing snakes in what they do.

4. Colossal Squids

Squids are largely similar to each other. Which is similar to octopuses with some notable differences. Then we have Colossal Squids. Easily among the biggest sea creatures of it's type in the world. These squids are quite massive in size. Just like Anacondas, it's difficult to imagine. Unless you actually seen one which I never had myself.

Thankfully they appear in deeper sections of the ocean. Similar depths requires deep ocean machinery to explore due to intense water pressure. Which gets stronger the deeper you go. This by itself makes it truly terrifying to run into any Colossal Squid. Your life already in danger before that happens already makes such an creature scary to encounter.

5. Giant Centipedes

I confess I always found the actual appearance of centipedes very interesting. Most of their breed has a long body with a lot of legs. It's hard to believe notably bigger centipedes exists!!! They hunt a notable variety of animals. Not to mention, they are also venomous making them quite scary. They are essentially insect variation of snakes if you wanna be technical about it.

Centipedes in many ways was used in manga/anime franchise Tokyo Ghoul. Some aspects were used for the protagonist's powers. This further makes any centipedes even scary if you seen or read that franchise. Especially the famous torture scene with an centipede. Now stuff like that is nightmare fuel!!!

6. Japanese Spider Crabs

Being a life long Otaku along with my wife. I also ate a lot of crabs in my life time. I even had a rather expensive crab cake meal for an Christmas Eve dinner a couple years ago. It shouldn't be a surprise Japanese Spider Crabs I find quite interesting. Just look them up it'll surprise you. It looks like a greatly exaggerate drawn crab on paper I'm not kidding.

The actual appearance of this crab is ridiculous!!! Just look at the length of their claw limbs. It looks sorta like some spiders than an actual crab. Can you imagine any chef attempting to get all the meat out of this crab? I'm sure Chef Ramsay could easily do it with his amazing track record. I think this creature speaks for itself.

7. Humpback Anglerfishes

When you got deep enough in the ocean. Where it's mostly dark several fish breeds are found there. My personal favorite among them was Humpback Anglerfish. Such an scary appearance for a fish right? This fish has an additional part attached to their heads to light up. A more wtf Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer direction.

They often use this light to trick their prey getting too close to devour em. I gotta mention look at those vicious teeth!!! Clearly they never been to an dentist lol. On a more serious note, they don't go beyond the darker sections of the ocean. Again you may need machinery to go down that far. I always found this among the most unique looking fishes I ever seen!!!

8. Poison Dart Frogs

I know this was a rather odd choice. People are more familiar with the lesser shiny appearance frog breeds. Thankfully those breeds aren't poisonous. You could get warts from touching em though. Now Poison Dart Frogs are notably somewhat colorful, shiny in comparison. They are often smaller than you expect them to be.

The reason for their actual appearances is what they usual eats triggers it. Basically they eat not safe stuff that makes em poisonous. The bigger issue is they love to attempt splitting poison at their preys. Sometimes you can't tell when they are about to do that. I just find this particular frog breed so interesting in the many ways it stands out.

Conclusion

I gotta be honest this turned out to be more fun to write. Maybe next year depending on things. I could do a follow up entry to this. I'll try to be a bit more creative with that. I also confess the most recent of these creatures I liked was Japanese Spider Crabs. I also left off creatures I always felt more God has an amazing sense of humor lol.

If this made you felt somewhat uncomfortable. Then I done my job since it's meant to play off that aspects. Regarding Halloween is literately around the corner now. Again this was an random idea I chosen to run with. Just to see where it could go. There's also a possibility I could do a safer animals variation of the concept as well.

Animals that's not dangerous or doesn't often attack humans. Which could be a fun topic on it's own honestly. I would say this should give you a lot of ideas. How out there I view such dangerous creatures. If you encounter any of these. I hope you came prepared especially the poisonous ones I listed.

More thoughts on Garry's Mod

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I been wanting to do a follow up entry on Garry's Mod. I already reviewed the game back in 2020. Don't worry I'll make sure to link that review down below. More recently I had an YouTuber named Broken Controller Club react to three of my favorite games. Of course, I had to throw out Garry's Mod among them.

Here's a link to my Garry's Mod review

Here's a link to that YouTube video and thanks again to Broken Controller Club

Just in case anyone was wondering I also selected Cultic and Saints Row IV.

On and off, I really wanted to add more of my thoughts on Garry's Mod. Let's be honest, a lot been more possible in that game since my review. If you wanna consider this as a follow up review you could. This is more of me expressing my huge passion for the game. Still among the most creative video games I ever played!!!

I found out about some rather ambitious mods you can get. There's a mod capable of fully recreating video game maps. We are talking some Grand Theft Auto game maps. There's a famous video showcasing GTA: San Andreas map in Garry's Mod. I recalled that quickly blew my mind!!! There's an even crazier scale mod to potentially recreate an universe.

I am not an expert in any categories regarding space neither the universe. I just know an universe is ridiculously massive in size. You got a lot of planets with a ridiculous amount of stars. Somehow a modder pulled this off is truly impressive stuff. There's an insane amount of character mods. I don't even think the game has a real limit how many you could have installed either.

I do gotta point out some mods won't work unless you have a few other mods. Some of the truly ambitious, bigger scale mods might require a better computer to more properly run em. Stuff like this is only the beginning what could possibly follow afterwards. Just imagine the day, someone found a way to recreate the multiverse within an video game.

For those that doesn't know what an multiverse is. Imagine a lot of universes but each one simply parallel to the universe you're from. All of them part of a lineup within an multiverse. Yes the concept can go even crazier with omniverse. Which is essentially that except it's all multiverses instead. I highly doubt that's possible even in Garry's Mod and I dare the craziest modders to attempt this!!!

You could have enough weapons equipped. To the point you keep pressing down to surprisingly find more weapons. Which I never seen outside of Garry's Mod. You easily could have enough weapons to be an one man army more so than John Rambo!!! Some mods slightly or notably improve several aspects. Including some of the features you could use in the game.

Now some of these are quite impressive. Some of them are just mind blowing they suddenly made Garry's Mod way better!!! In nearly every possible aspect you could mod. Garry's Mod is easily among the most moddable video games I ever experienced in my entire life!!! Even smaller stuff like walking can easily become the stuff of legends!!!

Garry's Mod has a huge community. A lot of locations from pop culture to shows been fully recreated. One of my personal favorite levels someone made was based on Courage the Cowardly Dog. I previously stated that to be my favorite Cartoon Network show. They also a few months ago in an update.

Added more stuff to your default selection among the characters you could use. Pulled from Half-Life 2 Episode 1 and 2 respectively. You could spam a lot of characters at a fast rate. If they aren't moving, it won't affect things much. If they are going to move like you chosen enemies to spawn. At a point you may experience a little to an insane amount of lag.

Lag could cause situations to suddenly become worst in this game. Garry's Mod also has an option before you get started. You can activate invincible which is great for truly insane mods. Any decent nuclear weapon mods being a great example. A decent nuke mod can instantly kill every enemy on the map!!!

Occasionally you'll find poorly programmed mods. Some of those surprisingly works while others not at all. Majority of the mods is very decent from what I experienced. If you could find the best of them though. Just an handful of those you'll be playing Garry's Mod for a long time. We're talking about a game all about creativity after all.

A lot of your fantasies could be recreated. I didn't say they were all good ones either lol. So many franchises recreated in Garry's Mod. I probably have such a long list to showcase them all. This list would've easily made this blog entry a lot longer by itself I'm not kidding. This is a very popular Steam game I deeply enjoyed.

It's also great if you wanna get some rage out. Personally, I find some sick weapon mods. A lot of times it's directly pulled from classic FPS games. At times, I try to be a bit more creative with my selection. Just to spice things up for the upcoming madness sections. What's even crazier is just like the first two Doom game mods.

People actually were creative enough to recreate several game play styles in this as well. If you plan on doing multiplayer sections you'll need to cut back a lot on mods. There's a lot of people creating multiplayer modes for this!!! One of my favorite mods that's a little difficult to find. There's a particular weapon crate mod that quickly gives ammo for any selected weapon at a faster rate.

You can quickly refill to max ammo being 9,999 for every weapon with ammo. A couple months ago, I seen Dino Crisis 2 with increasing ammo capability for an shotgun with that much ammo!!! Also that includes every firearm in the same game. Just to confirm it's not often I seen guns with that much ammo in video games.

G-Man is perfect to test out weapons on. A lot of weapons, he just stands there to take the punishment. It's actually possible to fully run out of ammo doing this to him. What's hilarious about this is there exists weapon mods that can quickly or instantly kill him. G-Man either immune to some weapons or has an insane amount of health.

Considering the unique nature of Half-Life. Garry's Mod was originally an Half-Life 2 mod. I wouldn't be surprise if it was possibly both in this case. So you know when weapon mods are great. If G-Man gets downed by them. Thousands of enemies quickly fall in record time to those weapon mods. Garry's Mod was never about balance.

This is the most ridiculous video game for $9.99 I ever purchased!!! Just when you thought stuff like Decision Legacy Collection being ridiculous for that price. Clearly they never played Garry's Mod before lol. This is essentially the purest form of fan service imaginable. Sure it's not official by any means. At one point, Nintendo requested mods based on their franchises to be removed.

I will confessed I seen a lot of those Nintendo theme mods still in Steam workshop. Garry's Mod going from such a small Half-Life 2 mod to such a mind blowing video game. Last recorded sale numbers were around twenty five million five hundred dollars!!! This is still among the most popular Steam games in existence!!!

So many YouTubers made videos from this game. I'm still happy they kept updating the game. The community itself is exactly why Garry's Mod being such a great video game in the first place. A lot of them further pushed the boundaries what could be done in Garry's Mod. The possibilities are truly endless with this game.

Garry's Mod is much more than a game. It's more of an unique fun experiment at it's core. Some people just crazier than others to go a lot further with their concepts. Which perfectly describes the majority of the mods supported for this game. I really highly recommend anyone to play this game. People just can't even begin to understand exactly what they're truly missing out with this!!!

Killing Time follow up blog

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, today I got more to discuss with Killing Time. As in the unique Doom clone style FPS game. This isn't necessary me rereviewing either version again. This is more of me celebrating before one year anniversary of Killing Time: Resurrected. I already played through between both versions I own three times this month.

Each run was notably different from each other. The first run was in Killing Time: Resurrected. I played through the game on Duncan mode. I confessed it was done on Easy difficulty. This version gets Duncan to constantly come after you almost the entire game. Some people might like this version more. Sometimes you never know where he'll show up.

Yes he does teleport to a degree. He will keep coming back after he's death. I notice the 3DO version takes longer overall in that regard. It can get annoying like you just wanna go up or down stairs. Well any tight space locations you can't get around him. I would say it was a little more challenge that adds a bit more.

To the overall length of the run. Now you can't rush through without Duncan putting you into a rough situation. Considering this is one gigantic map you're exploring. You can bet a lot can happen. The second run was just me replaying the original PC version. I mostly chosen to replay it to compare to the Resurrected version.

I can confirm a lot of sections are identical. Mostly getting to each section remains the same. But majority of them were notably changed in Resurrected version. I still felt this version of Killing Time easily the best within Retro Shooter Rampage Bundle. Sure in a sense it made me wanna play Resurrected version more.

At the same time, I still had some enjoyment playing this version as well. Even with some annoying flaws it has. Such as poor jumping which is required to go and from the light house. It still was a nice revisit of the game I had. Again this was done on Easy I am not sure I had the patience to do Medium. Speaking of that, I ended up going back to Killing Time: Resurrected.

This time I played through again on Medium. I also switched off 3DO version of enemies. I did notice some changes between the enemies. Maids and Clowns has to get even closer to attack you. Any enemy either firing projectiles or wielding guns was more accurate. You don't wanna get surrounded by those enemies.

I also notice regarding the difficulty, enemies takes more ammo to put down. This also affected my weapon animations. During the run it's virtually the same as the original PC version animations. Which was very cool they pulled that off. This felt like a good hybrid version. The map is still Resurrected version to clarify.

Everything wise going back to retro. It was just truly amazing Nightdive pulled that off so well. Of course, you got to deal with the ghosts. The ones that talks explaining aspects of the story differ notably in quality. Some looks a little better or worse than others. I do mostly prefer the 3DO version of enemies.

I also do prefer the newer animation recreating the 3DO version more. Not to mention, the weapon sound effects was more to my likening. All of this before October 17th is insanity. Honestly, Nightdive helped made me a fan of this game!!! Indirectly there was seeing what was going to be Sega Saturn version case in a game store a long time.

For a long time, I had a lot of interest to play that game. Which is quite rare for me even right now. I knew there was something about this game I had to play it. I am well aware both these versions are vastly different from the 3DO version. Which may never fully get rerelease. A large amount of it's content still presented in Resurrected version.

Three full runs across two versions of the same game. You can tell I'm already excited for Halloween!!! Killing Time is among my choices to play close to or on the holiday. Just not among my main choices though. I felt this game deserves more respect than it gets. Honestly, I'm just thankful that curiosity led to all of this.

Killing Time is an unique experience. I later found out a couple months ago. The original PC version actually was made from a particular version of Doom. Atari Jaguar version while using Build editor to make sections of the map. Which were transformed into the proper format that could've work on classic Doom engine.

In fact, one of it's developers worked on the famous 3DO version of Doom. I know what an connection right? Build editor is essentially a level editing program for games like Duke Nukem 3D. People with a lot of patience could make levels free. Now adding in another program to transform the format of that data into WADs essentially is mind blowing.

I'm not expert how to properly explain how complex this process is. All I do know is this clearly took a lot of time to achieve. I previously wondered why either version of Killing Time felt more like Doom than expected. Keep in mind, there is digital actors. Now I'm not sure how they gotten those unique cutscenes style to work like this.

Killing Time is much more than a Doom clone. It's more about the actual story. Majority of the enemies does get explained. If you are willing to listen to these cutscenes. This has a more Egyptian mythology to the Doom formula. Unlike most of them, this was one massive map broken up into multiple sections.

It's rather impressive this game has so many enemies!!! Plenty of secrets you may not realize was there. There's something truly special about this game Nightdive saw it too. Again I was quite hyped leading up to Resurrected version's release. This game was a surprise master piece. Like Hexen, Killing Time does enough to differ itself from Doom.

Of course, some people gets into mysteries. You get to explore an entire island as well as the Conway estate. Which is way more than what the 3DO version does. Originally it sorta plays more like Wolfenstein 3D funny enough. No one truly knows why the original PC version ended up being a vastly different version.

It's more known than another "remastered" version before Resurrected version. Yeah it was exclusive to Zoom, another DRM-Free PC gaming service. Just going off what I do know about this now lost version. You could swap between 3DO and PC soundtracks. This was meant to make the PC version a bit more playable.

Supposedly something not right happened behind scenes. No one knows what truly happened. You no longer can buy this version anymore. I never bought from Zoom altogether. I am assuming this "remastered" version wasn't good enough or wasn't as described. The later being some false information in an attempt to get people to buy.

In order to rip them off at least this could've been the situation or it stopped working who really knows. Assuming this version differs enough there's four versions of Killing Time. Keep in mind, I only played two of them myself. Obviously, Resurrected version is the true definitive Killing Time experience.

You are essentially getting the perfect composite version imaginable. Some truly nice bonus content to look at. They redesigned enough of the map to make it much easier to memorize. The challenge is more forgiving unless you're playing the hardest difficulty. Nightdive truly delivered in properly bringing this classic back from the grave.

Also as a reminder, last year they also remastered Doom & Doom II!!! Yes I still stand by my Games of 2024 ranking. I still think Killing Time: Resurrected to me is better than Doom & Doom II. I know a lot of people going to disagree that's fine. I deeply love as well as respect both remastered FPS games with a huge passion.

I figured I just get it all out. Killing Time is a game the world wasn't ready for. Until Resurrected version happened last year. In terms of being an metroidvania Doom style FPS game. There's not many FPS games I can directly compare it to. Maybe I love the Clowns and Skeletons too lol. Honestly, I have no real major issue with Resurrected version at all.

I still felt my favorite enemy remains to be the Chefs. Especially the 3DO version just works amazingly well. The one thing the PC version does I like a bit more is by saying this voice over line. "Come here!!!" you know what's waiting for you won't be pleasant. I actually like both versions of the Chefs a lot.

The closest issue being when you use no clip code. Parts of the map doesn't properly load up at times. Then again this was an ambitious FPS shooter for it's time. I guess that's to be expected though. Other than that, they truly knocked it out the park with this version. Killing Time is among my favorite Doom clones I ever played!!!

My biggest G4 rant

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, a lot of people may remember G4 as in an TV channel you watch on cable years ago. G4 actually had two major runs that both ended. I could easily add salt to changing the direction of the channel. Altering Filter as in the show that used to be all about ranking video games by votes.

Suddenly Filter started being more about pop culture stuff. Representing then newer direction of the channel. The newer G4 run also had the Completionist, a famous now controversial YouTuber. He gotten caught scamming people long story. Despite all of this, there's something that deeply gotten under my skin.

Something I always wanted to get off my chest for years. When a particular show you used to look forward to watching on TV. I still haven't seen anything like it since then. This was before achievements & trophies were a thing in gaming too. I used to be a huge fan of the show called Cheat! Not to be confused with another show called Cheaters that had reruns on the same channel.

Vastly different concept, Cheaters was exposing people cheating on their boyfriends/girlfriends. Cheat! was more about something I recalled loving growing up. Back when many video games had cheat codes. Some of which actually made em more fun to play. You sorta gotta look for em in newer games now sadly. Honestly, it's better I start from the beginning.

Cheat! used to be sponsored by Pringles yes as in the famous potato chip company. The original host was Cory Rouse that really made it an fun show to watch. You can tell he absolutely love this job. I don't recall any bad episodes with him either. There's some cool themes Rouse done they never done again. One episode was filmed at a paint ball location.

I previously taken my oldest nephew to a paint ball location. Sure it can get dangerous but still a lot of fun. At one point, he was driving an go-kart. Most G4 fans heavily remembers this version of the show. I'm personally calling it the golden Cheat! era. Later into this version's run became known as Cheat, Pringles Gamers' Guides.

Following the merger of a few channels. Cheat went back to it's original name. Following a dispute with Pringles not much is known about it. Eventually Rouse left the show following a particular October episode. I think he knew the direction the channel going in wasn't for him. Keep in mind, we still haven't gotten to what greatly disappointed as well as piss me off yet.

Obviously they had to replace Rouse with a new host. Kristen Holts now following her marriage, Kristen Adams. The result was notably mixed by the audience. Some of them including myself felt she didn't properly fill Rouse's shoes. The other half welcomed it simply because she was a beautiful woman.

Not trying to come off sexist either. She wasn't a gamer neither was Adam Sessler. Despite Sessler was a host on X-Play for many years. Later on, Adams continued the format through X-Play. Yeah what used to be it's own show gotten reduced to being part of another show. Adams never took the concept to exciting directions like Rouse previously had.

Rouse brought in real passion as well as creativity to the show. You can tell Adams was simply told what to do that's it. Sure you could blame the shift from using cheat codes to playing without em. In order to earn achievements/trophies being a notable factor in it's decline. Then again, Rouse could've kept the show fun to watch had he stayed.

I always been mixed towards Adams for a long time. She played a huge part in ruining Cheat!'s legacy. A better host would've prevented it becoming part of another show. Then again, this era of G4 already lost it's identity. They started airing non video game stuff daily. People wondered why the channel died out the way it did?

Cheat! was a show that made cheating in games fun. More recently, it brought back memories for older games. This version of the show still meant a lot to people. After Rouse left, the show never truly recovered. I even felt the editing in Rouse's episodes was way better. Not many episodes Adams done going to held up well overtime.

To me, this insane decline for a classic video game show was mind blowing. It went from being one of their finest to "What's that?" Even the MTV 2 version of Celebrity Deathmatch was better than this!!! Rouse was essential to the show surviving the merger. I don't wanna say Adams lacks talent. She previously was on American Idol years ago.

Obviously she should've went for a more musical job than this. You can tell she just didn't work at all. Again they only used her to keep men interested. Such a cheap tactic to use indeed. To be brutally honest, she wasn't that hot to me even back then. It's just sad such an iconic G4 show fell this hard!!! Possibly the worst in history of the entire channel for that matter.

Cheat! brought in a rather unique perceptive to using cheat codes. Not only that, Rouse spicing things up kept things interesting. Pringles or not, he was a major factor in that show's success. You can tell G4 didn't do their research what made Cheat! such a hit with people. Sadly if G4 kept going, Cheat! still would've gotten canned.

Either run of G4 had major issues. I'm glad Cheat! wasn't involved with the newer G4 run. Rouse was ideally the perfect host for the show. Honestly, they should've canceled Cheat! after he left. In that regard, I would've never felt the way I do following Adams hosted the show. Let's put it this way, Drew Carey had major shoes to fill to replace Bob Barker on The Price is Right show.

Carey been a worthy successor to that legacy. In comparison, Adams never came close to Rouse's greatness!!! I think another major reason why Rouse worked better. The way he interacts with the audience. It comes off like he's one of your greatest gamer friends. He wants to make sure you're having fun.

I never once felt that with Adams at all. In fact, I felt she was just doing it to get paid that's it. You can even tell at times how bored she is. I also heavily disliked the look of the show started with her hosting either. I prefer the classic Pringles tie in appearance. To me, it just felt like they had to quickly put something together.

It just didn't look like the same love neither care went into that whatsoever. I know it's been many years since Cheat! quickly discontinued while X-Play went on much longer. X-Play was among G4's longest shows. It felt like to "save Cheat!" they had to make it an session in that. Let's be honest, that further sink everything!!!

Adams had much lesser time to get things ready for those sessions. They started distancing the sessions on that show. You knew something wasn't right!!! Such a disgrace to that legacy Rouse started. I always been this passionate towards the original Cheat! series with Rouse. You just can't recreate such content anymore.

I always heavily disliked the newer version with Adams. Obviously a lot of factors led to it's demise. The beginning was when Rouse left the show. I'm sure Rouse went on to great things following the show. Honestly, I'm so mixed regarding this. I don't even think this going to be enough. For fellow Cheat! fans that felt exactly how I do.

Then you already know nothing was remotely as disappointing on the channel than this!!! Filter didn't last long when it became more pop culture. I know some might consider that a bigger offense. At the same time, even that version of the show kept people voting involved. Let's be more honest, neither were actually those shows anymore!!!

Filter was becoming more anything pop culture slowly moving away ranking things. Cheat! was becoming more of an after thought with Adams. It just never was the same ever again. It's truly disheartening G4 allowed such a downfall to happen. I'm glad G4 gone once again. If you could find any Rouse episodes I highly recommend check em out.

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street) vs Pennywise (It)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I been considering remaking several Death Battle predictions into blog forms. Among those I kept coming back to a perfect one for an future Halloween Death Battle episode. I previously voted for this. I strongly felt they could do a lot with such an unique concept.

Freddy Krueger whose an vengeful spirit that stalks teenagers for the most part. He'll be taking on an entity calling itself Pennywise. Both are experts at exploit people's fears. It's safe to say we're putting two god like beings against each other. Although I already know whose going to win this fight.

Verdict
Pennywise

There's several major factors to consider here. To some degree, these two monsters can warp reality. However Freddy does that in the dream world. Unless a particular crossover comic version that fused with the Necronomicon. The famous book of the dead from Evil Dead franchise.

Where he gets majority of his powers in the real world. Even going with this version of the character. He possibly could scale to being universal at best. Which isn't bad but really pales in comparison to Pennywise. Who existed before an multiverse going with the book canon version.

This by itself presents many critical advantages Pennywise has. Such as he existed before an multiverse time may not matter. But he did go to a particular universe billions of years ago. This really trumps Freddy hard in the experience category. Considering both are experts at exploiting fear within their victims.

A major factor is both can ready their victim's minds to achieve this. Which bags the question who could exploit this first? Unfortunately Pennywise existing before an multiverse means his mind way too complex. Not to mention with his insanely long life span.

Freddy would need a lot more time to do this. Assuming he could actually attack Pennywise's mind. On two occasions, Freddy's mind gotten attacked before. Such as when Alice who was pregnant at the time used. Her unborn child's dream to surprise attack Freddy.

The following movie, Freddy's Dead his own daughter entered his mind by force. Another huge factor is fear itself. Confirmed in Freddy vs. Jason by Freddy himself. He requires enough fear to harm possibly kill people. However Pennywise already has the perfect counter to this.

For several billions of years, he's been manipulating people. He easily could get an entire town forget about Freddy with ease. This would greatly weakened Freddy in the process. Freddy also loses majority of his powers in the real world. People forget through loop holes, Freddy can enter the real world.

Usually by possessing people or at one point his own bones. It's also unclear how many powers Freddy has in the real world. Regardless which method gotten him there. In vice versa, Pennywise obviously the more insanely powerful being. He exists in a way that's similar to several DC's Gods like Darkseid.

Pennywise uses an avatar in that universe. For a long time, he used to hunt full grown humans. It's unclear when he started directly stalking children. Freddy goes after teens while Pennywise goes for even younger children is kinda mess up!!! Some stuff happened that led to Freddy becoming an monster.

Pennywise always was pure evil from the very beginning. Pennywise is an ancient entity after all. This also would limit how Freddy could win. For Freddy to win, he needs to kill the actual entity. The Losers Club thought they killed Pennywise off for good.

The character in this case another avatar of the entity shown up in another universe. Which means if you kill his avatars, the entity still lives!!! Even giving Freddy that book wouldn't help at all. Pennywise could get around Freddy's immortality to end him for good.

This is through using his dead lights. Which does represent Pennywise's true form. A statement about that form is either among seeing it. Possibly could cause insanity or their minds can't accept it at all. It's a tricky situation to attempt explaining. Essentially your mind can't properly imagine that form.

The rest of your body simply doesn't register this. It's exactly why some people float among seeing that form. Plus that's Pennywise causing em to do so. It's safe to assume Pennywise could exploit the solo dream kill method as well. In A Nightmare on Elm Street 4, Alice says parts of a song.

Which caused every soul within Freddy to fight back. Ultimately leading to his demise in that movie. In comparison, Freddy couldn't properly recreate the Losers Club's final win method. More or so that particular winning method was exclusive to them.

Yes I know what some Freddy fans going to say? "Of course Freddy could recreate that!!!" Yes it could but effectively it wouldn't do much to him at all. Simply because Freddy never met em. He likely couldn't attack Pennywise's mind. Therefore he couldn't properly recreate any of them.

Even if he did know what they look like. Again it had to actually be them for that to win. Now how Alice beaten Freddy the first time could've been done by others. Let's be honest, Pennywise easily cause a stalemate in the dream world. Actual proof being before he discovered water scares Jason.

Virtually nothing he was doing stopping him. If Freddy couldn't stop Jason prior to that. Then what chance does he have against Pennywise? Virtually none that's what Pennywise could easily warp the real world. Which would've easily countered Freddy with that book factor.

Sure Freddy could do some truly ridiculous things. Again, Pennywise is too insanely broken of a character for any of that to matter. Basically Freddy has major flaws Pennywise can easily exploit. In comparison, there really isn't much Freddy could work with.

Freddy would be lucky Pennywise doesn't go right for the kill. Even considering the dream world, Freddy could only delay the inevitable for so long!!! Freddy has no solid kill method to the actual entity. Even if he did, Pennywise too insanely powerful anyway.

Pennywise easily has all the major advantages in this fight. Sure this could be seen as a massive stomp. I still think there's other factors that make this such an amazing Halloween Death Battle episode. I'm still quite happy I voted for this. In all honestly, the actual mind blowing conclusion fitting for the show.

Winner
Pennywise (It)
