[General Discussion] Do you like Crossdressing?

I voted yes not because I particularly like the cross-overs being done now, but in theory I love the idea of being able to mix & match. For example, here are some variations I think might be enjoyable that are either a combination of settings, characters, developers, etc.:

-Gordon Freeman as the main character in Fallout 3
-Duke Nukem as the main character in a Resident Evil game, with all his weapons crossing over and pig-cop zombies
-Might and Magic 10 running on the Oblivion engine, complete with the circus, flying spell, and up to 50 enemies on-screen with map-obliterating end-spells (let's see those castle flatfoots deal with Armageddon!)
-Jak & Daxter in a 3d Mario game
-A cross between Blood, Doom, and Silent Hill (you figure out a typical non-sequiter stupid puzzle to open the door only to find a 3-story high cacodaemon, but you turn it to dust with your voodoo doll!)
-Shadow Hearts 4 + Persona 4 = Shadow Persona.
-Rhythm game + Zombie game = must pummel zombies rhythmically to destroy them! Beats Typing of the Dead!

I could probably think of more, but I think you get the general idea. I basically have no interest in seeing Star Wars characters in a Soul Caliber game or things of that nature.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I won't argue with ya. For me, the notion of a crossover is exactly the opposite of the above posts. It should do something that makes no sense just for the heck of it. Hence, I see cross-overs like enabling cheats & mods on a PC game. Does break the standard gameplay, but it's nice to change things up for a bit. Otherwise, I would just keep playing the same games with the same characters and settings in them per their worlds. A cross-over by definition for me breaks continuity, so that throws suspended disbelief out the window for me.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
