Carlos has pretty common hair. It’s crafted weirdly but it is pretty common

Seems to me that "incredibly stylized and dumb-looking" translates to "doesn't look like something real people wear" pretty much 1:1, but I know better than to keep arguing about it when goons have decided that this is something they want to dig in their heels about.

Uh. Have you ever met real people? Because "incredibly stylized and dumb looking" describes a whole lot of fashion. It's also weird that you are going "GOONS dig in their heels" when that is exactly what you're doing?

I can't believe you're all talking about his loving hair like it's a major point of the game or something  Edit: Holy poo poo I just realised we're going to get a Special Guest Appearance from Barry loving Burton in this new engine. Or the lower half of his face at least.

You're all going to look real silly when he pulls an important item out of his hair during a critical moment in the plot

I actually am bored enough to give Resistence a try but they seem to have pulled it from Steam and the PS store to solve some game connectivity issues, annoying.

Just realized that with this game coming out soon and Half-Life Alyx having just released we're getting two games this year about a biracial action heroine whoopin' rear end in an apocalyptic shithole and coming out on top. Just what the doctor ordered.

My wife and I have been re-playing many an RE game lately and just realized neither of us had touched 6 at any point since the demo years ago. I have it on PS4 because I got some RE bundle at some point so figured okay how bad can this game REALLY be and like, god drat, it's pretty bad. It's just so weirdly brainless compared to other RE games in the main series. And I don't mean that from the emphasis on action and QTEs but like, the way you can't look at lots of stuff in the environment to get little descriptions of things, the lack of files to pick up. We went with Leon's campaign first since I remember people saying that one in general was best but it becomes a weird Left 4 Dead clone 1/3 of the way into it? Like you really can feel how this was multiple teams' stuff getting jammed together. Why is this a dumb action game where you slide and run around a lot to melee hordes of zombies but also if you want to heal yourself you have to, pick up an herb, select the herb, combine it with other herbs, and then transfer it to tablet case, exit that menu, and then press a button solely devoted to using herbs to use it? The damage feels really hard to read because of that unless your health is in the red so it shows up on screen constantly, like in one part of the game it was like anything touched my character at all it was a hard knockdown and I had to wait to get revived no matter how much I healed? They made something way worse than "FINE/CAUTION/DANGER" which was fine as it was. Like why even have health at that point. Just an all around bad job of conveying information. It's just crazy how slick and polished the game seems on the surface vs. how unpolished it feels to actually play and interact with. I know I'm not saying anything new here but folks really weren't exaggerating. The melee moves are a lot of fun but that's like all the game has going for it. To make sure I wasn't crazy I re-started RE5, game I previously considered to be bad, for a little bit after and that game is crazy intense in comparison to 6. Vakal posted:Shoulder-pad enthusiast. Maybe she was just a big fan of Area 51, the arcade game that came out like half a year before Resident Evil 1 and yet............

Andrigaar posted:Jill has an identity beyond "American woman with gun"? There were press releases about the original PSX RE that described Jill as an American of French and Japanese descent. Her mother was a nikkei. That seems to have quietly been abandoned since they decided to use Julia Voth as her face model back in 2001, but "Jill is Eurasian" is one of those bits of obscure, questionable canon that's never quite left the community conversation.

My first play through with RE6 was Leon's campaign as Helena and I got stuck in a room with no ammo kicking zombies as the AI Leon fought the boss. It was real hard to think positive about the game after that. I gave up entirely while lost in the snow while playing as Sherry, i think. I hope we get more Sherry in future games. Maybe she and Moira can partner up. They can have conversations about Claire, and also compare dads.

codo27 posted:Why do the Japanese always make things based in America? Re has been all over the fuckin globe by now but ain't poo poo gone down in Tokyo I mean there are an incredible amount of Japanese games set in Japan. And as far as RE games go the ones set in America are... RE 1-3/Outbreaks (which are all set in the exact same town during the exact same situation) and RE7. RE:CV is France -> Weird Island -> Antarctica RE4 is NotSpain RE5 is Africa RE6 has part of one character's story taking place in America but then moves over to China pretty quickly. Most of the story is elsewhere. Survivor/REv2 are island based REv1 is either on a cruise liner or near a fictional island-city. Raccoon City was chosen because the original RE games were pretty heavily inspired by Romero's films. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 05:02 on Mar 29, 2020 |

codo27 posted:Why do the Japanese always make things based in America? Re has been all over the fuckin globe by now but ain't poo poo gone down in Tokyo With RE in particular, it's because the games are extensively based on American movies. Shinji Mikami is an enormous film geek, so as ImpAtom noted, the first few games are heavily inspired by the original Romero "Dead Trilogy," and RE4 has the same basic cinematography as a Lucio Fulci zombie flick. There's actually a sequence in Code Veronica that's basically a shot-for-shot remake of a scene from Return of the Living Dead III. Later creators on the series have apparently felt real comfortable continuing that legacy of film swipes. The first Revelations couldn't be more obviously inspired by Cameron's The Abyss, the Lucas sequences in RE7 are straight out of the Saw movies, the first hour of RE5 is based heavily off of Black Hawk Down, etc.

I don't have anything to add to this, but it sums up why I can't stand RE6 pretty nicely. it really is just completely mindless. RE has gone through all sorts of changes and iterations over the years, but I've never felt less engaged with the series than RE6.

RE6 is crazy in that it has a pretty detailed story, that you will only find out about if you read the files away from the gameplay.

Japanese-American, but Solid was raised in the US and Liquid in the UK (hence his gloriously hammy voice). They sort of retconned this in MGS4 to fit with the cloning story - they used Big Boss' DNA, the eggs from Para-Medic's assistant (who was Japanese) and Eva was the surrogate mother.
