How did I forget the Ninja Turtles? That's four more.

I dunno why there haven't been more responses to such an easy category. Here's a few:

-Lizardman (Soul Calibur series)

-Raptor (Jurassic park for SNES and Genesis)

-Raptor (Turok Rage Wars)

-Mars People (SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos & Neo Geo Battle Coliseum)

-Shuma Gorath & She-Hulk (MVC series)

-Various orcs (Warcraft series and WoW)

-Kerrigan (Starcraft series)

-Rash, Zitz, and Pimple (Battletoads)

-Gex (namesake series)

-Slippy Toad (Starlink, and possibly others in this game)

-Frog (Chrono Trigger)

-Yoshi (guess which series)

I'm less certain about these ones:

-Gamora (Avengers and/or Guardians)

-Gooigi (Luigi's Mansion series)

-Vector, Bean, and Jet the Hawk (Sonic series)

-Master Chief (Green as far as we know)

Good write up.

I agree with a lot of your sentiments; There's a lot of loose ends, some inconsistent character arcs like Tommy's, and revenge is bad (who knew?).

The new faces in Part II aren't very well fleshed out, and the reason becomes obvious as the game's story-telling becomes more and more heavy handed.

It's almost like someone completely misunderstood the ending of Part I, and wrote the sequel they wanted instead. That's not to say Joel would never experience consequences for his past, but Part II is distinctly missing the heart of the original.

Cool.

Why does Scrooge need our capital for anything, let alone a store where he sells things?

Thanks Jess! A friend of mine had this issue in Monster Hunter World, specifically the Jungle area with the huge tree surrounded by flora and fauna. The visual palette was overwhelming and distracting from the gameplay.

Are those hot takes though? Jess had no issues with the graphical fidelity, moreso the oversaturation that dampened recognizability to the point where there's more than 2 systems leading the player by the nose.

There's not a ton of backstory but Fox/Hans from Bloody Roar 1 might qualify for this list.
