Yeah, good series. I'm kind of glad it's dead. I'd hate to see how butchered a BoF6 would be with current Capcom handling it.

Oh, I disagree. It may be an entirely new world but it's just so damn fascinating. There's so many little touches, too, so it's not just "underground". Like the main living area the game starts in having the ceiling painted blue, and a conversation occurring about why that is.

Or how you end up going around places like power generators and labs that raise creatures to be used as food. It's all really, really cool.

>DQ seems to peg Ryu and nina as some sort of Rockman-Roll duo.

Naaah. Nina is still absolutely a character central to the plot, even moreso as she's now the entire impetus that kicks off the journey to the surface and the conflict between Ryu's group and everyone standing in their way. Plus flipping the script and having Ryu be the talker and Nina be the mute one leads to a whole new dynamic between the two.

Haven't played IV yet, but I like all the other Worgen.
