Random Encounter 358 – Stupid (Decisions by EA) Never Die

Random Encounter 358 - characters from Stupid Never Dies and Tales of Eternia

On this episode of Random Encounter, we’re taking a trip back in time for a game that is from the 2000s and a game that is inspired by the 2000s!

First up, Stupid Never Dies is an action RPG from some former Capcom devs. Hmmmm… zombies in a mall? Checks out! With sick visuals, a dope soundtrack, and wack gameplay (I THINK this is how we used to talk back in the 2000s…), Stupid Never Dies certainly delivers a memorable experience. Does Mark enjoy the retro style or does he wish it was best left in the early naughts?

And then Audra is here with a remastered classic RPG from the era, Tales of Eternia Remastered! Originally released as Tales of Destiny II for the PSX (not to be confused with the actual Tales of Destiny 2 for the PS2), this was a much-loved entry of the Tales series in its day. Does it still live up to those fond 2000s memories?

And finally, EA breaks countless hearts by closing BioWare. Just a spectacular decision, EA. Boy, that’s how you win the hearts and minds of video game fans. So, anyway, let’s use the absolutely terrible news to chat about some of our favourite BioWare games!
