Reviews for ORC are all over the place. Most of the mainstream ones I've seen are panning the poo poo out of it (5/10 or below) but there's tons of amateur hour blogs and websites giving it top reviews. I don't know what to believe.

So uh anyone know what the deal is with the patch update on PS3? Popped the game in and now its making me download a 159MB "Downloadable Content" update. I thought all this stuff was on disc to begin with!

I haven't played it enough yet to form an opinion on it, but I just noticed that one of the generic US Spec Ops voice actors is Bender from Futurama. So now I get really sad when I kill some soldiers because I hear Bender dying.

It's a complete piece of poo poo, I cant believe how little I enjoyed the multiplayer (could barely tell whats going on) and the single player was awful as well (though I wasn't expecting much to begin with). I'm a huge RE fan and I couldn't play more than four hours without just giving up on it in frustration. I've already put my copy up on SA mart

Ugh. I preordered this from Capcom because a friend wanted to play it co-op but if it's really that bad... Can you return stuff to them if its unopened? I'm waiting for a few more impressions and maybe a Giantbomb quicklook but it's sounding pretty dire.

Wait, Operation Raccoon City is out?? I've heard so little about it recently that I thought it wasn't hitting for a while. Ugh sad to hear that it sucks, though I'm really not surprised after seeing the trailers. Between that, Resident Evil Revelations, the Silent Hill: HD collection and SH: Downpour all that awesome survival horror goodness I thought we were getting has just turned out to be a huge loving pile of poo poo.

Wow, uh, the AI in this game is loving garbage. I reached the part where Nicholai is loving around in the City Hall and during the sequence running away from Lickers my team ran into walls, triggered mines, and shot at each other. So I ran to the exit, only to turn around and find one running against a wall, another attacking me as a zombie, and the other dead. drat it, the online better be decent. homeless snail posted:What's wrong with the Silent Hill collection?

Played the PS3 version at a friends house, finished it to, had to do it online with randoms because it doesn't have local co-op, sweet job on that one that Capcom.  Its a little ugly, movement is very stilted and janky, soundtrack is spot on at least then again most RE games have good tunes. The gameplay itself can get quite hectic if a bit frustrating, zombies come at you in masse and, you got the regular ones alongside crimson reds, lickers and hunters pop up sometimes. There's a few good set-pieces here and there but any battle against human A.I opponents is astonishingly frustrating, they have pin point accuracy and will destroy you in melee combat, there's one particular section where some dude is sniping at you and he'll you from wherever, its a huge pain. The final battle has the strangest transition I have ever seen. You choose if you want to defend Leon or execute him, you are then transported to an arena where you face off against the people that choose to defend him, no dialogue, no nothing, just a weird transition and shoot each other time, its incredibly weird. Leon is also a huge bullet sponge and will utterly destroy you. Also if you had any intention of playing this for single player, don't, the game is structured entirely for online, even the single player uses a lobby system, its very reminiscent of Lost Planet 2 in that regard. The A.I is predictably horrible and will hinder you more than your hurt you. The online is really fun, the horde style mode gets completely and utterly insane and even regular deathmatches go crazy when you have an A.I nemesis running around. Its an ok game, won't set the world on fire but good for a few weeks, it honestly comes off as a Resident Evil game for the CoD crowd.

Completely and utterly forgettable. homeless snail posted:What's wrong with the Silent Hill collection? I was looking forward to that The changed the script, voice acting, music (if I remember correctly) and they washed out the screen completely. They got rid of the noise and other visual effects and cranked up the gamma so instead of being dark and moody everything is now really plain and gray and it looks way worse than the PC ports of all of those games that were released years ago. It's a complete mess.

An odd duck of a game indeed. It sounds like it would be a lot better as a "pick it up for cheap in a few months" game but since it's online focused there's a good chance it would basically be unplayable in a few months. Welp.

Forgot to post my biggest gripe with the game, reviving people sucks, you'll get near their body and if theirs a weapon nearby you'll end up picking it up like 20 times before you managed to revive your teammate, they really should have mapped that to another button. There isn't even an animation for when you revive someone, you stand over them and they sorta teleport back to their feet.

I played a couple of the campaign missions, and a few rounds of team attack, but I am not sure how I feel yet. I will say that playing the campaign solo is probably the wrong choice. I kind of like the multiplay so far, but it does seem really team-play heavy. It's easy to get sideswiped if you aren't around a teammate or two who are covering other directions. It also takes a bit of getting used to - you have to be able to quickly tell if a moving body is a player or a zombie, but I don't find that too hard. Some rounds I barely noticed the AI zombies, and some rounds you would have hunters or lickers or some poo poo all over you. I kind of like the hectic nature of it so far. I do have a couple of issues so far though. If someone melee attacks you, you are more often then not going to be stunlocked unless someone helps you or they miss a swing. I also feel like the Umbrella guys, being dressed in mostly black, are harder to see than the Spec Ops guys who are wearing green/tan. This only seemed to matter much on the levels that take place outside, and then only in certain areas, so not as huge of deal as it may sound. While personally I am generally not a fan of 'grenade buttons' in games, the grenades in this game don't seem to be too strong, but a well-placed one can still gently caress people up. I also heard someone complaining about how you run out of ammo very quickly - I think it helps keep the game moving. You have to move around to pick up ammo boxes or new weapons, because the AI monsters drain your ammo. I think it also helps make the different weapons more interesting - shotguns own but you can only care a handful of shells, and I've had a lot of success using the heavy machine gun. I think the game has its flaws, but I do find myself wanting to play more, at least for now. Basically, the campaign is silly because the AI soldiers chip you down way too quickly and easily. It's definitely versus-mode focused. Also, I don't play too many games on Xbox Live, but for whatever reason people in this game love to strafe about 1/2 their width back and forth, which makes it look like they are dodging around but it really doesn't do anything for them.

Why does it take an entire magazine dump to kill one loving zombie??? I had a feeling the game wouldn't live up to my expectations because of Slant Six but I tried to persuade myself it would be awesome. It's only tolerable to me because I'm such a huge RE fan. I'm really glad I didn't get the special edition of this game. Also, not being able to dodge/roll without running is really retarded.

So when did Nicholai go from vague evil mastermind to the loving Joker? No seriously! Another marvel of AI: I heal Lupo after she takes an explosion to the face with my first aid spray, notice that there's a laptop nearby so I maneuver around her to go use it, only for her AI to consider me navigating around her a sign she should get out of my way... directly forward into the laser-armed door and takes another explosion to the face, wasting the healing spray I used on her. This game's AI is like RE5 2.0. Don't play with AI, play with humans.

I liked how ORC sounded on paper but I'm bummed to hear that it's this jankity and hosed. I can't justify paying for it new and buying it used later will be pointless.  Hopefully RE6 turns out well.

If you'd like to try it out, I suggest at least giving it a rental with how fast online communities die out these days. I'm having great fun with it, and I hate to think people are going to miss out on it because of some unfavorable reviews.

citizenlowell posted:I loved it and it got plenty of love around here. I don't think his opinion is the consensus opinion. I got the impression that Revelations was well-received pretty much everywhere, mostly being obscure because nobody owns a loving 3DS. I've been playing it and think it's really the best mainstream RE game since 4 and is a whole lot of fun; Raid mode gives it a very long and cool afterlife, too. I've already sunk more hours into RE:R than RE:5 or a huge majority of other single player centric games - largely because everyone playing Raid mode is level 40/50 and I'm still like level 12, I've not played much multiplayer yet. Contest Winner posted:I played a couple of the campaign missions, and a few rounds of team attack, but I am not sure how I feel yet. I will say that playing the campaign solo is probably the wrong choice. Both my girlfriend and I tried playing for an hour or so after picking it up last night on the hardest difficulty and we couldn't clear the first room in the game. In single player, not co-op, as we didn't get two copies under the impression the game would have split screen given it's co-op focus. I'm half wondering if you're not SUPPOSED to play the hardest difficulty until you level up your characters? I mean Jesus, it throws you into a room that's so dark you can't see what you're shooting at with no vision modes fighting a room full of people who take an entire clip of bullets to die even if you're scoring nothing but head shots as the very first thing you do! I mean holy poo poo, I'm all for dropping you straight into kick your rear end hardcore scenarios right off the bat but really, this is the first room! Could you at least wait until the second room to kick my rear end? Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Mar 20, 2012 |

I just played on normal, and it wasn't very hard. The AI soldiers take a few too many shots to kill, and are far too accurate. Your AI squad is also dumb as poo poo. Honestly I'd either play it public and let other join or just pass and jump right into versus. The one upside seems to be that you make 3-5k EXP a mission, so at least there is some reward. As far as online, I am okay with how tough the zombies are, really. Headshots are key, but maybe they could take a shot or too less to the body to kill. I am also fine with the lickers/hunters taking quite a bit to kill - they actually don't hit TOO hard, but they take some effort to put down. I'd rather them be a real threat than some quick points. I haven't seen anyone use the Field Scientist's ability to take control on a monster yet, either. The way it is set up, I think they could easiler tweak monster health/weapon stats/ability stats, but I hope they actually take the opportunity. Ammo management it up there, and once people learn where the ammo refill boxes are on each level it will be less of an issue, but I still think that you kind of have to come to terms with the fact that, sometimes, you are gonna have to pick a gun up off the ground and use it, even if it's not your preferred type of weapon.

Haha, I just played my first round of Survivor online and it was awesome. The enemy team all had mics and stuck together the whole time, so my team was having a hard time keeping up. When the chopper landed, their whole team bolted and started trying to board at the same time. I dashed in behind them with my Heavy Machinegun and wasted the whole lot of them simultaneously, then climbed on and road away by myself.

Yeah, it's not the smoothest game I've ever played, but I just met three guys that communicated well and we've been having a loving blast in multiplayer. Really does get so much better with good people. Teamwork really is essential.Running off on your own is stupid and will almost always get you killed against players that stick together barring a lucky grenade throw.
