really though, there is no shame in being very bad at games and preferring a less stressful experience. if a video game frustrates you, who needs that hassle? it isn't like overcoming such a challenge constitutes an actual achievement. lower the difficulty setting or find a different game you actually enjoy instead.

As someone who kinda liked RE6 I'm baffled at how many apologists it has, since it's kinda not great and the decision to split its narrative up to offer a different Resident Evil to different Resident Evil fans served to just kinda make everything feel really watered-down and half-assed, and I'm not sure it even worked as intended? Like my favorite Resident Evil is the REmake, and in 6 I was left with the impression that Leon's campaign was the "classic RE style~" option, so you'd think I'd gravitate toward that, but the only campaign I found myself truly enjoying was Chris and Piers Also Chris is the best character for REmake because he's cool and good, Jill is for baby losers who hate fun Also also Revelations 2 is really fun? So far anyway, me and my girlfriend are trucking through it in split-screen and it's a riot - in a lot of ways I feel like Rev2 is arguably designed to match experienced RE players with their SOs or younger siblings or whatever, because I honestly cannot imagine being Moira myself, I'd get bored and try to crowbar my way through a crowd of bad guys instead of dutifully shining that light... but she eats that poo poo up and seems to enjoy having fewer "shoot the mans" responsibilities, since she's normally not into console shooting games at all

Policenaut posted:Two new World of Resident Evil 7 videos are out. They're doing a terrible job at showing how this game actually plays. Vids like this would've been fine early on, to show us "Hey, you can craft things!" or "This is what fighting enemies looks like", but we're months after the announcement and the pacing of the game is still kind of a mystery. They showed us one trailer that was a couple minutes long, but it didn't have any combat in it and you were hiding from one person, so unless the entire game is like that, I still can't tell you if it looks any good or not. I want to like this game, but they just aren't doing a very good job convincing me it isn't just gonna be aping off other series.

I thought Chris/Piers and Jake/Sherry were fine when it was mostly fighting but I could have definitely done without the driving segments and the quasi-stealth escape sequence that Jake/Sherry have to go through. And I feel like I have to say this every time I'm saying that I had fun playing RE6 but I was most definitely playing in co-op and no I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much if I was playing it alone. guts and bolts posted:Also also Revelations 2 is really fun?

I actually like RE6, it gets a lot better when you realize you only use your gun to set up melee attacks.

So I'm playing Revelations 1 (PS3 Version). I just cleared the end of chapter 2, but apparently I missed an upgrade or something in the very last room before ending the chapter and saving over my file. Am I screwed out of it now?

I got to admit I uninstalled BF5 last night for just this reason. I used to be ungodly good at the series in the halcyon days of BF2, but I've gotten progressively worse as I get older, slower, and have less time to spend on games. After my zillionth time spawning, running forward a few steps, and then instantly getting sniped through four or five trees by a guy I couldn't even see, I decided that whether the game was fair or not, it just wasn't fun anymore. "It's not fun for me" is a perfectly legitimate reason to dislike a game.

In other words, there are plenty of better upgrades along the way. I'm liking Rev 1 so far but it does feel a bit stiff after playing through RE6. I suppose that should be expected from a port of a 3DS game.

When I've talked Resident Evil in the past with friends I'm always this contrarian dude to them because I think RE5 is really good and that RE4 is middling and inconsistent, but I actually generally like Resident Evil games and don't like getting into the cyclical pessimism that seems to arise with every new game announced ("New game!" -> "Maybe it'll be good?" -> "Nevermind, <thing> looks wrong/boring/bad, gently caress RE games for life") So I'm tentatively excited for Resident Evil 7? It looks like it might be pretty neat-o if executed properly so that's cool, and I like the idea of a more intimate story with more immediately personal consequences RE1 and REmake work so effectively for me because the whole conspiracy angle is there, and you can find out about Umbrella and their dastardly ways and blah blah, but ultimately you get the impression that even the characters themselves don't care about that poo poo (yet) and are solely focused on survival - it makes the stakes feel more real, so when even non-characters like Richard die you feel a little something, as every dead STARS member reduces your own chances of making it RE6 makes the stakes feel less consequential even as, like, planes crash and buildings blow up and poo poo, because it feels like the heroes just are too used to their circumstances or ultimately don't care about that truck full of Chinese people who just died RE and RE2 are about regular people put in extraordinarily bad situations and forced to overcome this horrible poo poo, and the conspiracy nonsense adds a surreal element to the proceedings instead of being the focal point ("why does a police station have traps in it???"); REs 5 and 6 especially seem to focus on the ~overarching plot~ which is super hamhanded and repetitive and I don't really care about it at all What I'm saying is that I'm hoping RE7 just stays personal and smaller-scale

ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:It's a good game, but I know what you mean. Thankfully it becomes nowhere near as hectic as RE6 or even RE5 so the stiffness doesn't become too much of an issue, although one boss in particular had me literally chewing my loving controller up on Infernal. I still haven't passed that fight on that difficulty; I can't use that loving evade manouevre for poo poo If it were just him I could deal with it, but he brought like five infinitely respawning friends to the fight. Doesn't help that Jill's running speed in this game feels equivalent to her walking speed in REmake. EDIT: Found the sniper rifle and then beat him on the next try. The time honored tradition of winning at video games right after complaining about them helps yet another goon.

Speaking of RE 6 I just bought it on PS4 thanks to the halloween sale so I have a few questions for you guys. I remember a chapter order that allowed you to play the story more or less in chronological order. My google-fu powers dug this up: Prelude Chapter Chris Chapter 1 Chris Chapter 2 Jake Chapter 1 Jake Chapter 2 Leon Chapter 1 Leon Chapter 2 Leon Chapter 3 Jake Chapter 3 Chris Chapter 3 Jake Chapter 4 Leon Chapter 4 Chris Chapter 4 Jake Chapter 5 Chris Chapter 5 Leon Chapter 5 Ada Campaign Does this seem coherent to you guys and is it more interesting to play the campaign in that order ? - I remember reading in this thread that the control scheme was actually a lot more complex than it looked and allowed for a lot of cool hidden stuff, especially with melee combat. Is there a guide that sums that up by any chance ? - I also remember some people advising playing certain characters for certain campaigns for solo play, like Chris rather than Piers I think. Is that correct ? Thanks in advance !

Off the top of my head, there are a couple of bits in Chris's campaign where if you're playing solo, you may have an easier time as Piers. He has a better sniper rifle available from the start and is occasionally called upon to use it. The biggest problem with a chronological run through RE6's levels in order is that by doing it, you're going to play the same level twice, since both Jake and Chris's games have the same boss fight at one point. It also becomes a largely academic distinction as the games converge in China. I don't think you gain anything from a chronological run.

Rev 1 continues to be a weirdass game. Previous RE games ripped off famous horror movies and games and were all the better for it, and Rev 1 rips off Dan Brown's Inferno. Dunno what the thought process was there, exactly.

I never liked chronological runs of RE6 partly because of the tedium, as above, but mostly because the scenarios are laid out with plot setups and payoffs that get kinda ruined when you play outside of whole campaign run-throughs.

I've so far spent Rev 1 chasing after a strange masked terrorist who makes cryptic viral videos about Dante as a part of his plan to unleash a manufactured virus onto the planet. You made me go and look. Revelations was initially released on the 3DS in January of 2012. Inferno was released in May of 2013.

Thanks for the replies guys. Guess I'll give up on the chronological playthrough. I remembered someone doing an awesome LP of RE6 but couldn't find them because they changed their av, turns out it was Lunethex. A bit of digging helped me find the rest of what I was looking for. So if anyone else is looking for the same kind of info, just dig up Lunethex's posts in this thread, real goldmine. edit: link to the LP in question : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2gg5K4U_Yc Sassy Sasquatch fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Oct 28, 2016 |
