ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:After playing both RE2 and RE3 dozens of times I stop and think "just how loving incompetent was the average RPD officer?" when I see all the corpses littered around the station. Leon turns up with a hangover and kills an assortment of mutants and monsters with a high count of zombies splattered for good measure, all while procuring a ridiculous amount of ammunition in the process. The rest of the RPD officers? Too busy being pecked to death by crows, or shooting their evac pilots 25ft in the air instead of the zombies 3ft in front of them. A new high in the standards of incompetence. A lot of theoretically competent or talented people get cutscene-merked by monsters in RE. It's not so much a commentary on them as it is a testament to the lethal power of a plot hammer. The RPD in particular is also having to deal with Chief Irons, who scattered their ammo throughout the building, set up traps in some areas that are only lethal to humans, killed at least one of the cops himself just to be a dick, and if you take the "Desperate Times" scenario in Outbreak into account, spent most of the 29th scrupulously cleaning and replacing the furniture in his secretary's office.

My friend always had a theory that HUNK wasn't an amazing soldier or anything, he just happened to not be poo poo. On that note, does the PS4 version of Revelations have performance issues on some of its battle maps? I remember the PC version's frame rate dropping into single digits when snow got involved.

Chief Irons is probably genuinely the absolute worst person imaginable to have in charge during a zombie outbreak. He's a combination of corrupt, inept and actively malicious that just can't be beat when the dead are rising. if you had even a slightly more sane person in charge Raccoon'd probably have done a lot better.

Articles in re2 and re3 make references to Irons doing whatever he could to minimize police efforts from spreading false info to moving ammo stores. He was a sadistic freak (or did his taxidermy and torture chambers not clue ya in)

Capcom has stated that they want to sell 10 million copies of Resident Evil 7 when all is said and done, which... er, good luck? Source: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2017-05-16-capcom-sets-10-million-target-for-resident-evil-7

Didn't realise that Revelations 2 was 6.99 with all the content. Grabbed it, proceeded to leave single player completely untouched. Something moreish about Raid mode.

If you read the article, it's Capcom saying that, going forward, RE7 will get released, remastered, and rereleased for anything that can possibly run it. Your grandchildren will be inhaling it as a nanotech swarm. They regard it as a potentially evergreen, generationally-appealing title, the same way RE4 is.

The year is 4360. "Welcome to the family, son", I say to my child Capcom Residentevilseven Jacobs, the first human to be born with memories of playing RE7 implanted into their mind. Finally, Capcom has passed 10 million in sales.

Resident Evil 7: Family Matters with Carl Winslow, Harriett, and Steve Urkel. The daughter whose name I forget assists you in place of Zoe. I'd buy and play this in a heartbeat.

Anything that replaces Zoe is fine by me, tbh. Her inconsistent accent aggravates me far more than it should.

It makes me wonder if Zoe was a different kind of character at some point, since in the older versions of the demo she seemed very Ada-ish on the phone.

I've thought more on this and I believe that Urkel is actually Eveline. In the show he was always trying to integrate himself into the Winslow family so that checks out. So that means Theo replaces Lucas. Mostly I just want to be stalked around the house while Reginald Vel Johnson talks about the contents of a Twinkie.

I think Cosby Show would work better in this context. Maniac human biohazard Cliff Huxtable forces you to drink his weird drugs cocktail before hunting you through the house while rambling about pudding pops Also occasionally Denise phones up from College and asks for money, which could act as a save game mechanic

Just beat RE7. Pretty cool game. I just wish the end reveal and boss weren't so underwhelming. I figured out the reveal after the dinner scene, and the final fight was extremely short and scripted. Also, I checked the alternate ending I chose Zoe and if they're going to be so lazy with the alternative endings why even bother? I did enjoy the reveal about Mia's "babysitting" job. And the fact that Lucas weren't under Evelyn's control, even if it made no sense (he still had the regenerative abilities, so apparently the company found a non-lethal partial cure somehow?) The boat felt very much like Revelations, and is actually one of my favorite parts of the game. How's the DLC? Worth it? Seems overpriced.

I enjoyed both dlc titles and thought they were worth it. I'd advise against the season pass since they've made not one peep on what or when it is for several months. Probably scrapped or going to be an absolute turd.

A lot of people seemed to hate it and I don't get it. Nice change of scenery at least. DLC 1 is totally worth it imo. I was pretty luke warm on 2 and find it baffling that it costs more because it's less content that feels lower effort. Don't expect to be blown away by either but they are fun little distractions is you want to extend the game. It is overpriced though probably.

There's even dialogue trees in Bedroom! Really though, I just want a DLC that has Mr X chasing you. Dude would be even loving scarier in first person, lumbering around like Jack. He's still feel my favourite Tyrant in the entire franchise.

There's probably only so much you can do with a 3DS game before you're just putting it into a brand new engine.

I really enjoyed Rev 2. Story was fun and the mechanics were more in line with RE4. It also worked really well as a single player experience. Also spent over 100 hours in Raid mode, it's a lot of fun once you unlock the sword and super dodge moves! Hated the final boss though.

It's just occurred to me that I've made no progress at all in my Revelations playthrough on the hardest difficulty since that post I made here way back when, describing how infuriating a certain bullshit boss is. I'm also only about halfway through the entirety of Raid Mode (all maps on all difficulties), because gently caress that swimming map, gently caress it to hell. Maybe I'm just really bad at Revelations, as some sort of divine punishment for being not-poo poo at every other RE game.
