Supplex moves only unlocks when you reach the castle, but you can do it on everybody I think.

naw leon just arbitrarily can't do it on the regular villagers, because when you run into those again during a segment of the castle you're back to kicking people. pretty sure this is how it works in mercenaries too

maybe he's like goku where he doesn't use his strongest moves on the riff-raff

nah RE4 is all about feeling powerful - strong weapons and always being up on ammo, wrassle moves that can explode heads, playing as a cocky son of a bitch who spouts cheesy one-liners

Dead Space is all about feeling powerless - mediocre weapons with limited ammo, stomping downed enemies in a panic, a silent protagonist who only vocalizes when he's being murdered

Dead Space was good though, had its moments

It's only great since it's in the shooter genre but despite that handicap it is remarkably good.

By Dead Space 3 Isaac is too old for this poo poo, is swimming in ammo, and is building his own guns. which is why I'm saying it's the actual re4 successor

DS3 gives up on horror and embraces its action section. Also: The last time I played it multiplayer we found out the Contact Beam drops more universal ammo from enemies than it uses so you have an infinite ammo beam of death on Normal

DS2/DS3 get progressively more action and insane and Isaac stops being a silent protagonist in 2

the guns also get better even though i like 1's arsenal. you should play 2/3.

6 seems like it's recaptured some of the crazy of 4 but it's kept some of the traits of 5

but it has the godawful inventory of revelations. 4 has the perfect UI. bring back my attache case.

also each team (chris', leon's, wesker's kid's, and ada) all have their own HUD which is cool. the timeline intersects for everyone which means jake's is the earliest and overlaps with the most i think

i think a big thing the series lost after 4 (it sort of comes back in revelations?) is being able to examine goddamn everything

i see things sitting around in 5/6 and go "whoa i wanna look at that" and the character's like "nope idc" where leon in 4 would have had a one liner or at least something to say about it

Well, on the PS3, the quick combo is this: Triangle, X, X, X, X, Circle, R3, R3, R3. This opens the inventory, mashes two health items together, puts them in your health-pack slot, closes the inventory and then lets you consume the tablets. Press R3 six times if you've combined a green and a red.

mediocre? tell that to my gun that fires electrified exploding javelins. or my plasma cannon that will freeze enemies in a 360 degree radius around myself. dead space has some loving ridiculous weapons.

I hope that's just a thing Japanese developers say, like every Metal Gear game being Kojima's last.

Hopefully there will be another good Suda51 game at some point, and not just flashy budget games with his name on them.


I like Killer7 because there was no market research and no focus testing, just a whole lot of imagination and creativity. The whole game is a mystery, and there's no simple solution such as the main character just being a representation of the player. There's also no dumb pandering to gamers, just the occasional reference to his previous games, like the hotel Flower, Sun, and Rain.

The on-rails movement is a bit weird, and makes the combat quite frustrating, but at least it lets the game have beautiful, open areas without you having to run in to every nook and cranny to find the next door or key item. It would have been cool if they did give you free movement during the last chapter, considering how much the gameplay was tied into the story. They did make a concession by letting you switch characters at any time during gameplay, when it was suggested that cameras and TVs needed to be involved. Garcian and Harmon are special, and unfortunately I got stuck fighting a child kidnapper dressed as an anime girl in a parking lot while stuck as Garcian, and his gun is terrible.

I am finally playing RE4 for the first time in my life (seriously I been holding off for years) and I love it but I cannot beat the two big ogre guys for poo poo. It's the ones where you can pull a lever and kill one of them by getting him to fall in a vat of lava. But I can't beat the second one for poo poo.

I run out of ammo and using the knife does nothing because you need to hit the octopus thing coming out of his back. How the gently caress do I kill this guy with very little ammo?

They are called "los dos gigantes" and I wasted 9 minutes watching someone play them on Youtube and then losing (why did he upload the video)
