DanielCross posted:The absolute scariest thing about RE5 is that scientist note that mentions Licker Betas being able to breed. That is horrifying on so many levels, the biggest of which being that just a few Lickers escaping is now an epidemic rather than just a threat. Humour me a moment for wearing my science man hat while talking about a series of games where boss monsters grow at rates where they're literally creating matter out of nothing, but I'm pretty sure Kijuju's climate is among the worst possible for a Licker. They'd shrivel up into dessicated sandy husks in no time under those weather conditions, thanks in no small part to being skinless with an exposed brain. Come to think of it, why the gently caress do they still have an exposed brain anyway? It's the outer-heart thing all over again (although at least in that respect the T-001 and T-002 were more like glorified prototypes than full-on mass-production models). Isn't the Licker-B supposed to be a deliberate creation ready for production on an almost industrial scale? The skin loss, sure, that's just an unpleasant and tolerable side-effect of the extra muscle mass bursting through (which seems to affect most T-Virus subjects in due time), but having your new monster prowling around with its loving grey matter on display just seems like the research team was a bit too relaxed in adapting what was formerly just an accidental mutation. No eyes and an exposed brain on a monster "ready" for mass-production. Jesus, I hope that guy was fired before he was invaribly eviscerated by his crummy idea.

Re: Madhouse run. Do not give four-legged molded a single chance. One jump slash + ankle swipe and you are definitely a goner. They are by far the most frustrating thing about Madhouse runs.

The block in RE7 is something that just visually never feels like it should be working (Especially during the Mia fight, since moments before Ethan's drat hand does get cut off by the same chainsaw) even though yeah mechanically it works fine.

It also makes zero sense that you can do that. Among the most feared, dangerous enemies in RE are chainsaw guys and you stay the gently caress away from them. They did this in RE6 too, to be mildly fair. During Jake & Sherry Ch4, when fighting the Ubistvo on the river, if you ever get hit by him, you have a few seconds to mash X and resist for your partner to save you. You will die if they don't, but you don't outright die from the hit. Because reasons.

I'm glad RE2 is next on the docket because poo poo got really out of control in RE6, suddenly everyone was a mutant/clone/superhuman/monster that could grow tentacles 10x their size but still retract them. In terms of modern controls+classic atmosphere I have a feeling RE2 is going to set a new benchmark.

I'm happy to say I bought the pc port of remake, the sales of which capcom was reportedly happy with. Remember the hullabaloo of re7 not making enough money even though it was hugely popular or some poo poo though? I hope the suits dont gently caress this up.

I was browsing the RE wiki and reading about a bunch of dumb poo poo that happened in the storyline, which was pretty entertaining but then I found that the dumbest poo poo on there didn't have anything to do with the games but with the community. I guess that tends to be the case with fan wikis in general. Apparently one of the admins is some massive Glorious Nihon turbonerd, so nothing in the localizations is good enough for the wiki. Lore stuff that was changed for the English translation? Nah, we'll use the original Japanese because that's what the creators intended. Established spellings for character names? gently caress you, Hunnigan from RE4 is now Hannigan because it's written as ハニガン ("Hanigan", pronounced like Hunnigan which is conveniently ignored) in the original Japanese, no matter what the  I think I'll just go back to playing RE2.

"Insufferable weeb sperglords" subtopic aside for a moment, I'd just like to express my disappointment in the fact that there hasn't been a Saiga-12 shotgun in any of the main entries (including Revelations). We've got super-fictional triple-barrelled break-action shotguns (I do admittedly adore the Hydra in RE5 and RE6 for different reasons) but outside of the M1100 (at least when Chris is using it) all the shotguns are pretty slow while the Saiga-12 is treated like a leper. Given that raw power was always down to whatever magnum(s) a game featured, would a full-auto shotgun really be a game-breaker? Probably, but then I blame the scenario designers for making shotgun ammo so common  EDIT: God drat, I forgot there was even a block mechanic in RE7. Shows how little it's even required until the end. Blocking a chainsaw with your arms... ZogrimAteMyHamster fucked around with this message at 14:13 on Jul 10, 2018 |

I think it's more so that the idea of what a shotgun is and what one does is very specific in a lot of people's minds (whether or not that idea fits reality) and a fully automatic one like the Saiga-12 breaks that.

Make it something found close to the endgame and (relatively) awkward to obtain then, like the RL in RE3. Pay attention to the files/surroundings and be rewarded, that sort of jazz. Just seems like a missed opportunity amidst all the bizzare weapons and stupidly powerful attachments that we already got over the years. Like a 10" barrel modification to a Desert Eagle. Because we really needed that gun to be even more of a Doomcannon. EDIT: Forgot to mention "fair enough" regarding general expectations in a videogame shotgun.

Vikar Jerome posted:circumcision? give me cliff notes, sounds hilarious. Found the archived saga: https://archive.is/X0gkm Short version: A mod got too big for his own britches, and was editing some of the pages, particularly the ‘Walter Sullivan’ page to suggest he had become a mass murderer tormenting the protagonist and haunting his apartment because Walter had been circumcised as a child. Anybody who argued with him that it wasn’t relevant to the plot and should be removed, hoo boy did he get mad. ‘Mutilating babies’ penises’ was used multiple times unironically. http://silenthill.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:49806?useskin=oasis This page quotes a few of AlexShepard’s insane rants http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3373665/3373665/ LadyPictureShow fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Jul 10, 2018 |

And that he needed to ritualistically murder 21 people to reunite with his ‘mother’. ‘Thank God I still have my foreskin’ Henry muttered, shaking his head. ‘Or that could have been me, Eileen.’

Played quite a bit of REmake yesterday. I've died two times and both of them were traps. Rest should be smooth sailing since I'm in the labs with over 10 shotgun shells, 12 magnums and around 30 handgun bullets. At this point I can just shoot my way through the rest of the game without worrying about crimsons. The puzzles haven't really aged well since most of them are really simple and mostly involve pushing things. RE tradition I guess. The game is suprisingly generous with supplies on Hard mode but I guess they carefully estimated how much an average blind run needs health and ammo. I've never tried the Real Survivor mode but I might just have to since that requires you to be extra careful with your resources if you want to avoid backtracking

I told of how I got killed after a long span before, I made up for that and started playing again the other night. Then I got to the loving moving wall/statue puzzle and managed to get myself squished. I'm not even sure if my save is before or after 42. That's the worst thing about playing on easy, feel like its god mode and think you cant die.

Turns out though, detonating an exploding barrel when you're right next to it still kills you despite that. I was in the Dead Factory and never saved. Welp.

RE: RE3, when I was a kid my cousin and I dragged a little 11" TV out to the barn/garage at our family cottage and we played RE3 in the dark in the middle of the woods. it was great. I got scared and went outside to pee and saw a bear. I was still more scared of Nemesis. I vaguely remember having a lighter with no oil in it, and finding a rope soaked in oil, and the game saying I couldn't light it without oil, and that confusing me for way too long (misunderstanding that they meant oil for the lighter). or maybe I am misremembering because I am old and it has been like a decade. I don't remember too much about RE3 besides a maze of alleyways, a gate opening after you put some colorful gems in a compass or clock, and how scared I was the first time Nemesis followed me ~*~through a loading screen (door)~*~ it blew my goddamn mind

The prerendered FMVs on the PSone RE games certainly didn't age well. I especially like how the zombie in the cop car in RE2's intro (which scared the poo poo out of me when I saw it as a kid) just has Leon's head model.
