His wrestler style intro and music at the start of every game are the best part about him

I've played RE4make up until finding Ashley, and.... I like it a lot less than the original so far. It's way too loving dark, for one. Can barely see a thing. The aiming's worse, too. Gun wobble is ok, a reticle that's inaccurate until you stand still and focus for a bit is ok, but combined? That's really bad. Makes the shooting ranges a total crapshoot, too. But then the weird gachapon kind of ruins those already. It's still RE4 so it's still great, just less so than what came before.

You can easily ignore the shooting range. I used to do them because I have gamer brain but the bonuses are really minor. Definitely pick up the laser sight for your pistol. This makes the aiming a lot better.

Don't think the laser sight works on the Red9. And yeah, but the shooting ranges in the original were fun! And they gave you extra money. And the bottle caps were cute.

DLC Inc posted:DBD having such a stranglehold is mystifying to me. The game plays and looks like dogshit while I thought Chainsaw Massacre and Evil Dead looked/played so much better. Even Friday the 13th I thought was a better take on that genre. The DBD defender has logged on. As poo poo as it may look, literally no one else can figure out anything better than v complicated freeze tag with buttloads of perks to unlock (made a lot easier and faster these days) Nothing ends up outlasting DBD because it was designed from day 1 for longevity and now they have a massive team (3-400 people) so they churn out new content every 3 months. It's also WIDELY anchored in streaming, and consistently has 20k+ viewers which not many 8+ year old games not named some kind of counterstrike or fortnite do. Its gameplay is easy to explain but takes thousands of hours to master. Its not always on purpose, but everything about DBD works in its favor as far as content, influx of players, skill expression etc in spite of developers which only balance the game around the newbie level of gameplay anyways. There's a reason every asymetrical horror game that comes out gets put on that death door knock meme, and it's because every single one of them thinks they can get by on one gimmick, one brand, etc, but people bore of their game in a few months and their playerbase craters like every other gaas game. This isn't because their gameplay isn't more FUN than DBDs, that's the easy part. Texas Chainsaw Massacre devs straight out said nah this isn't a forever game and people still Pikachu surprise face 200 hrs in when every single trick has been figured out and mechanically mastered and there are no free cosmetics or levels left to unlock. So they go back to DBD, and the bloated corpse goes on.

Looking up DBD for the first time in a while and god help me, The Unknown actually looks like fun to play, so the system works.Old Doggy Bastard posted:I played The Quarry, Man of Medan, and now working on Little Falls. For all their flaws I like these games a lot, but The Curator does nothing for me. He's not bad... just kinda bland.

The Hag in The Quarry is good fun. Her tarot gimmick is a nice touch and her being actually a character in the story so she gets mad when you do things she doesn't like.

Grace Zabriskie is just really, really good at playing that particular kind of character. By which I mean "Twin Peaks: The Return Sarah Palmer"

The remake definitely changed up some of my taurine gun preferences from the original, the Red9 in particular. That was always my goto, but with the way aiming works for it in the remake, I eventually preferred the Blacktail. I think it's less powerful power shot, but it feels so much snappier that I do better with it overall.

Len posted:So this then Nah. It's the skill ceiling and unlockable drip. People don't stay with dbd because of the fallacy, they stay because nothing else offers the above. That's how games like Gundam Battle Operations 2, For Honor, Chivalry 2 etc stick around with tiny but steady playercounts.

Fatal Frame 3 doesn't quite grab me as much as the previous two, but it's close to being great I feel, it just takes a while to start showing its hand and I'm not sure the mechanic of journalistic investigating is coalescing to something interesting.

I thought some of the later in-Rei's-home scares were some of the creepiest in the series, but I do agree that it's overall not quite as good as the first two. The story was interesting overall, and I liked seeing some familiar faces, but it just didn't have the impact that 1 and 2 had.

Fatal Frame 3 has one of the best stories in the series imo, especially if you’ve suffered the loss of a loved one before and can relate to Rei, even if the gameplay does get old much faster than the other games due to excessive backtracking and some annoying moments.

I love Until Dawn and enjoyed The Quarry well enough but have to say that Justice Smith gave one of the worst voice performances I've ever heard In The Quarry. I've seen him in movies before and he's a perfectly fine actor but good lord in The Quarry he was terrible When you start the game the counselors all talk about how hot and cool he is and then he shows up and gives this incredibly flat, mumbly performance. I couldn't take him seriously for the rest of the game even though I think you're supposed to be rooting for him

He's kind of hot right now, but I first noticed him in this game and I have a hard time getting over that utterly dead voice. On the other hand, now that I'm a balding 40-year old, I'm getting used to teenagers speaking like that to me, like "holy poo poo I'd rather do anything right now than talk to you, old corpse"

He's actually one I really liked, especially the exchanges with Dylan. "You told me to cut off your arm!"

heads up that the current diamond bundle on fanatical has all of the dreadx games, along with some good stuff like doom eternal, so horror people may want to look and see if there's anything you'd want to bundle the dreadx collections up with

I must be nearing the end of Little Hope and this is such a drag after playing The Quarry. I'm just not sold on all of these people so quickly taking up that this little girl is important and the center of their pursuit of survival. The skepticism of The Quarry seemed like it was going to go on too long... until it didn't and just kind of nailed it. EDIT: Oooh, that end sucked hard.

Blockhouse posted:alright second worse This is a pretty fair ranking, although I think it's worth noting that Little Hope manages to both fail on it's own merits but also suffers from pulling basically a very similar "lol none of it was real" twist as Man of Medan. Whereas Rush of Blood is at least competent at what it's trying to do.

I never tried Man of Medan because someone spoiled me on the twist. However even if I'd known the twists of The Quarry or House of Ashes beforehand I don't think I would've enjoyed them any less because their twists are fairly minimal and not massively stupid.

I don't think you could even call anything in House of Ashes a twist really, there's nothing that like... recontextualises the rest of the story that's happened up to that point or anything, it's a pretty straight reveal.
