You're allowed to splice in camp in your horror. The juxtaposition can help sell horror later down the line, or keep things from being overly awful.

God drat you loving SteamLink. After last month's update you started randomly desyncing with the network, and then last week's update caused you to randomly degrade in video quality, and as of this morning's update you can't even load video.

Edit: Oh, fixed by switching out of beta. Didn't even realize I was on that. :v:

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

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.
I mean, I wouldn't disagree with that? This isn't actually wrong. On the other hand, if that bothers someone, maybe Resident Evil as a series just isn't for them, because horror interspersed with occasional moments of levity and humor is just what Resident Evil does. At first more unintentionally, maybe, but then very definitely by design.

Anyone else have fond memories of playing Motocross Madness and Motocross Madness 2? Especially the second one.. doing checkpoint races or crazy stunts to rack up points. The games are around 20 years old now.. it's a shame that they never got any newer sequels. As well as Monster Truck Madness 2...

The word camp doesnt mean much these days.... but my understanding of it involved exaggerated, over the top reactions which RE doesnt have, RE is more people mostly downplaying the seriousness/craziness of what's going on (the claire Leon interactions in RE2Remake being my best example).

"Hey, it's that dog" being an example of RE4 humor. Or the galleon room in general.

Minimally less. Like, the Jill Sandwich like is still in the game, just with less broken English.

If "secret weapon time" and "chew on that, you overgrown son of a bitch" aren't campy, I'm not really sure I know what the word means. RE2make is incredibly cheesy.

There was a sequel on the Xbox 360. I vaguely remember it being fun but the framerate may have had problems or something.

Cool. I'm not worried then. Although I assume this delay is because of the late push for multiplayer. Which is actually good. Should mean the core game is fine and good to go.

I'm fine with the delay. I'm excited, yes, but CDPR is a stable enough entity that I doubt there's anything to worry about.

Delays are almost never the cause of or related to a game being bad if it ends up bad, don't worry about it.

E: To clarify, because goons, most games that are bad - especially at a CDPR/EA/Ubi/whomever level of dev - are bad from the bottom up. A delay can be good for tech or to add content but if the game design is rotten that isn't going to change.

The 2020 release schedule is absolutely desolate, or am I just uninformed? Is Humankind supposed to come out this year? That, Cyberpunk, a game freed from exclusivity (Outer Wilds), and a port of a 2019 game (Death Stranding) are all I have on my 2020 radar.

Just things in general that people are probably excited for;

Nioh 2, DOOM Eternal, FF7 Remake, Last of Us 2, Bravely Default II, Crusader Kings 3, Elden Ring, Dying Light 2, Hollow Knight: Silksong, VTM:B 2.



That said, I definitely bought the least new releases of a year in years last year (christ what a sentence) and I'll likely do the same here. Hard to say if it's a declining interest, though I don't think so or just a weirdly skint couple of years.

Did you already play it on PS4? It was a goddamn blast, I really enjoyed it. Shooting bits off of robots was so satisfying. It was like Monster Hunter but fun.
