It's still anecdotal but I don't think you need to look much further than the steam thread to understand there's a huge part of the market that isn't interested in a game as much as the potential of being able to play that game some day. If you go ahead and get that playing out of the way with a demo, why buy it, you're already basically done with it by just trying it.

Steam's refund policy makes it pretty moot anyways.

On the other hand, RE2 Remake was kind of like "Hey guys, you might normally overlook this because our previous entries have been kinda lovely, but this is actually insanely good! See for yourself!" and then everyone bought it

It does help that Darkwood is an excellent game, though.

Yeah, I'm not exactly surprised that it didn't make an impression when the trailer is extremely bad and the game has an obnoxious CRT border effect that doesn't seem to fit the game at all and makes it really hard to look at even beyond its other shortcomings. And on top of that it's a low-budget entry into an absurdly overcrowded genre.

The final stages that are all about speed and not hard puzzles were really enjoyable, like Tetris Attack levels of fun. Kurushi/Intelligent Qube is like a PSX predicessor to Catherine

Cardiovorax posted:No, that was RE7. By RE2make, people already knew that Capcom was good again. To be honest I thought RE7 sucked. It's one of those games that I just don't understand why people like it. Perhaps if I played it in VR I would feel differently. To me it felt very "video-gamey" and it was impossible to suspend my disbelief in any way. SolidSnakesBandana fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Jan 16, 2020 |

Recore was fine and fun enough. One thing I'd say: if you stop having fun, feel free to stop rather than pushing through to the end. There's no payoff whatsoever. The ending just sets up a sequel that will never come. Edit: also IMO blue core guy in the dog body has the best special attack. Eventually he blasts that laser in a full 360 degree arc that does huge damage to everything.

I'm on a Soulslike kick and it's currently at 60% off. The game play looks fun, but thin It also looks horny as gently caress in a cheesy, Jim Wynorski kind of way, which is usually a sign of a poo poo game, so I'm still kind of iffy on it.

I think many felt it was a good return to B-movie horror of classic RE after the unfocused mess of RE6, with a fresh take to boot with the new perspective. But the RE series was always quite "video-gamey" imo, with magic healing herbs and weird convoluted locks blocking progression and giant animals and stuff. And then before you knew it you were suplexing Spaniard peasants in the 1800s as Leon "2kool4skool" kennedy in what is considered a legit masterpiece.

I'm not doing a good job of explaining why I didn't like it. Just that for some reason I like pretty much every RE game except 6 and 7.

I'm in a weird spot where I know I liked 7 a lot while I was playing it but I've also forgotten most of what happens during the game and have no desire to play it again (when I usually want to play my favorite RE games a million times). I wasn't even like hosed up while I was playing through it or anything, it's just, outside of a few segments (first boss fight in the garage, the birthday party) it's completely slipped out of my mind. I think I enjoyed it but not really for the same reasons I enjoyed any other RE games.

I always wondered if RE7 started life without the mold guys- all of the places where it shines involve the Redneck Mr. X Family, and I think it'd go a long way towards tightening up the experience if it was just, like, four 2-hour mazes with a single family member patrolling each area while you sneaked around and sacrificed resources when they trapped you in a dead-end or crap.

I don't like RE7 either, and it's mostly due to it trying to not be campy. There's still absurdity there, but rather than embracing it, RE7 tries too hard to play it straight. They listened to the fans too much and tried to make a serious horror game, but those are loving boring. Resident Evil always pretended to be horror, but slowly abandoned that veneer over the course of each game until it became absolutely hilarious.

A "serious horror game" in which one of the insane rednecks gets into the a car and starts trying to ram you while still in the garage. If that's not embracing ridiculousness, then I don't know what is.

Not that early RE doesn't have some absurdity but it definitely went more straight-laced than not in the early days.

RE7 is great. Especially for how authentic the level designers made the "old house filled with junk" feel. I've visited houses like that myself, minus the mold zombies and death traps.

Uh no, they don't play 7 dead straight because Jack Baker is intentionally hilarious while still being intimidating. Like I don't know how you can not recognize that 7 just revels in its camp. "NICE CAR, ETHAN!"

I loved 7 because of how ridiculous it got. But having played 1 a 2 remake and 7, I don't enjoy leaving the starting levels. For me RE games are the best when you run around the starting locations (police station or house).

It's weird how in my head the entirety of RE2 takes place in the police station, even though that's like barely half the game.

I think what jars people is that the tone in RE7 isn't consistent. There are extended stretches where nothing is funny or goofy and you are expected to be engaging seriously with the characters.

RE7 also has a DLC where you punch mold monsters, throw spears at alligators and suplex a swap monster. It absolutely is camp.
