I like the idea that getting killed by a Tyrant only makes you stronger since it just further proves how much of a worthless gently caress-up Brad Vickers was.

It's funny how Ada has become increasingly smug and superhuman as the games roll by. To the point she killed herself in bizarre effigy.

I'm honestly surprised Ada isn't dead yet. I just kinda figured she'd finally bite it in RE6. How much more can you do "that Ada, she sure is mysterious!"? RE2, RE4, she's always just kinda this Revolver Ocelot type you can't figure out. Well, apart from her crush on Leon. I'm still betting that if Capcom does finally kill her off it's going to be with her sacrificing herself to save Leon. But yeah, I saw this random cutscene of RE6 and it looked...very gritty and dark and super-serious. How do you even work ninja-flipping in high heels and a dress with a grappling hook Ada into such a setting? Seems like there be tone whiplash.

NikkolasKing posted:2. Get this - REZero pioneered the "Use from the Screen" gameplay feature that RE4 later adopted. No more if your inventory is full you can't grab that Herb or First Aid Spray to save your life so you probably end up dying on the way back to the box. Actually, Code Veronica did it first. I really tried to enjoy Resident Evil Zero, but there is just too much crap that weighs it down and it primarily has to do with inventory stuff. Dropping stuff anywhere seems like it would be a good idea, but there are several things that prevent it from being decent. Many of your items take up two spaces, then combining that with ammo, you have half of your inventory slots gone for one character. Also, the game picks some odd times for you to need to go back and use a particular item that takes up two slots. I think I got to the part with the monkeys before I said gently caress it and just cheated to the end of the game.

Only she's been that and nothing else for like 4 games now. It worked great in RE2, then it just sort of kept happening for no reason. Who even loving knows what she does, with who, or why. And who cares at this point.

I really liked the dyanmic Ada and Leon had in RE4. She was a flighty and mysteriously unattainable secret agent who was playing both sides for personal gain. She got really bad in RE6 though. But who the hell knows what was even going on in RE6 really. RE4 was just really good and fun and I liked all the characters in it, even Ashley.

I got nothing against Ashley. You guys ever played Silent Hill 4? I honestly like it more than RE4 in some ways but after you've had to drag around Eileen's dumb rear end for five worlds you begin to appreciate Ashley's ability to duck, hide in dumpsters and get captured so you don't have to babysit her for very long. Plus she did know how to drive that bulldozer thing so she has some skills.Also suplex.

They need to do what Uncharted does and just let you use whatever character model you want when you're playing. People do this on PC all the time because it's awesome it just be a regular option though for console gamers and people who don't know how to mod.

I guess the dumb thing about Resident Evil Zero was that up until that point, the outbreak was a bit of a mystery. Then Zero came and said hey, turns out the leech guy did it the whole time. And then it retcons William Birkin and Wesker to be like, secret best friends. Then nothing in that game is ever referenced again. Other than that, I loved Resident Evil Zero. If they ever remake Resident Evil 2, I hope they add in Wesker just because.

Also Wesker narrates large portions of the game's storyline and has awesome taunts while killing enemies like "Hmph. A small fry." Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 05:16 on May 14, 2014 |

Once again listening to gamers is the dumbest mistake one can make. While REZero began life as an N64 game, Capcom got rid of the item boxes specifically because of the huge gamer outcry about REMake still using item boxes and people wanting to be able to just put stuff down wherever.

It's actually kinda interesting stuff to read and certainly one of the few pieces of RE lore I still enjoy. If you didn't know about Wesker's Report or the tons of other Japanese-only poo poo, don't worry, it's still bad and terrible. It's just that Capcom was clearly trying to tell a deep, multifaceted story but they suck at it. Also "I read the Japanese Biohazard file!" people online are the worst. They think RE has a good plot and writing and at least one of them told me RE4 hosed everything up, presumably by the localization which clearly recognized the game was ridiculous and just ran with it. (I doubt "sucks to be them" is in the original)

I always frustrates me when people think verbatim translation of anything from Japanese is a good idea. The entire important contents of that report is like, four paragraphs in REMake and Umbrella Chronicles.

The problem with Zero is that they cut down on the inventory slots you can carry per character, made a whole bunch of items take up two slots, and poo poo like that. If the main problem was simply having to drop a herb or two, then it wouldn't be that much of a problem. Also, what the hell is wrong with some of you?

This thread seems to be relatively balanced in terms of opinions... I seldom see a lot of RE4 and RE5 fans mixing. I personally never played 5 as I had no interest in it. But for those who have, which is better, Wesker's fights or the Krauser fight? I know there are a couple fights with old Albert so I guess whichever is most comparable to Krauser's. Krauser's fight has always been one of my favorite in the series, mainly for the "cat-and-mouse, hunter-and-hunted part" that leads up to the final bit. The setting was perfect, it has one of my favorite tracks in RE4 and the little banter between Leon and Krauser made it even better. "Run, Leon, run!" Not that the climactic final part wasn't appropriately good as well.

I found Wesker's to be more interesting simply because you can easily trivialize the Krauser fight just by using the knife. The Wesker fight, you have to be a little more cunning, plus its fun to watch Chris just beat the poo poo out of Wesker.

I thought the hangar battle against Wesker was really cool and fun. He throws missiles at you, stalks you slowly in the darkness while teleporting and being smug as gently caress. It is a lot better if you have infinite rockets though because it's easy to gently caress up making him catch the rocket, so you can shoot it and stun him. And then hope you're close enough to get there in about 2 seconds to stab him with the needle.

There has yet to be a more satisfying moment in a Resident Evil game than evading Wesker's attempts to put his hand through your chest and then successively pulling off the counter melee combo.

I think RE4 is the better designed game but RE5's melee system and general combat design is a step above. Half the reason I enjoyed Mercenaries on the 3DS was getting to do RE4 Mercenary levels with more RE5-style mechanics.
