Game Systems And Difficulty Of Game Play

It seems to me with each new game systems that the game
okay gets worse in terms of toughness and here is a major
case of this.

Tomb Raider

The first 5 games had challenge balance and were playable.

But when Tomb Raider VII Legend hit holy bollocks. Total
insanity out of the gate with jumps and what not that
didn't seem like you could make it.

The challenge level was pushing to insanity with each
game in Legend.

Now with Tomb Raider X - XII (Survivor Trilogy) this is
way worse with the drop of the PS 3 and 4.

The point of this being that just because a new system
drops is no excuse to ramp up how hard games should
be.

My playing the Legend Trilogy has proven it.

On another note getting caught up on the
P S 2 era a bit.

My hope in western animation has been restored (yes I know it's old but a lot of animated shows these days just don't seem that funny anymore).

Gary Anthony Williams the voice actor behind Uncle Ruckus once made youtube videos where he cosplayed as Uncle Ruckus and just stayed in character btw.
He was Bebop in Michael Bay's TMNT sequel and also had a small role in the first Harold and Kumar movie.

Teaser for the next Monsterverse film.

To be honest, I'm way more excited and looking forward to Toho's new Godzilla this year, but I'm still interested in how the Monsterverse goes, despite my feelings on GvK and concern for it becoming MCU levels.

Honestly, I'm ready to say goodbye to the Monsterverse after Godzilla vs. Kong, because they are unlikely to get something more hype. Plus, it seems to me that they are moving towards Bey's Transformers rather than the MCU. But at least it is interesting what they will do next.
P.S. In general, it seems to me that after GvK, a modern remake of "King Kong Escapes" suggests itself. The movie of '67 was a Bond-style story of the time + a huge monkey. I'm wondering how something like this could be implemented now.

That's neat. Dunno who the new munky is.

Tomb Raider The Action Adventure

This version cuts out a lot of level game play and has been remade as a game movie
which is interesting.

This version has 21 levels but not sure how close to the game it is or if this is
something on it's own.

Time sure flies, eh?

So I heard Takeshi's castle, or MXC for those who saw the dub of the original, is getting rebooted by Amazon Prime. Saw the trailer and Subaru Kimura who voiced Vice in Kamen Rider Revice and Hayato Tani who was in the original run and was Commander Sugata in Maskman of all people are in it as regulars.

Subaru Kimura is the guy wearing black and Hayato Tani is the guy wearing white. I'm surprised the freaking commander from Maskman was in the original.
