Random Encounter 334 – A Swing and a Hit, A Swing and a Miss

On this week’s Random Encounter, we are looking at sequels both past and present!

First up, Zach is here with his thoughts about the Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake. While DQ I could have done with a few fewer “enhancements,” it sounds like the new expanded story and features have made DQ II into one of the best Dragon Quest games ever!

And next, Zek is here to share his disappointment about the highly anticipated sequel to 2019’s The Outer Worlds. While The Outer Worlds 2 does have a bigger budget and scope, it sounds like it failed to capitalize on the potential of the first game. And in the world of The Outer Worlds, failing to monopolize is a capital offence!

Oh, and a quick note to all of our Canadian listeners: We recorded this on Wednesday evening, long before Game 7 of the World Series, so please forgive my bright-eyed optimism and will to live, and take them with the spirit intended at the time!
