the lack of variety in the molded was absolutely soul crushing. RE7 didn't need to be an action game but it did need SOME enemy variety, and the two variants of molded didn't count for me. i think it's why a certain section of the game fell so flat for so many people, it just became a combat section with a new gun where you have to shoot the same stupid things you've been shooting for the entire game.

ImpAtom posted:RE7 was fun but not even in my top 5 Res. A big part of that is the enemy variety *sucks*. The molded are cool and I appreciate how reactivate they are in a second play through. The incredible tension of missing a pistol headshot or hitting one at close range and seeing it didn't explode and now its going to reactively lunge for you is an important part of the game. They dodge and weave and have weird attacks that also react to your attacks and are perfectly designed to frustrate your best laid plans, you can take off arms and legs to slow or stun them and the sounds and visual impact of taking off their head with a shotgun blast is one of the best in the series, up their with 4's your head a splode. They also physically show the damage they've taken and the health they have remaining although its a subtle effect and in the darkness of a lot of where you can encounter them can be lost. The lack of variety didn't bother me that much, was also just a big fan of the bosses in general except Marguerite who has some lacking reactions and tends to like to bulldoze over you instead of flinching.

The mines especially was also just way more fun than I remembered it being, playing through the traditional mid campaign character swap and inventory clear and slowly rebuilding an arsenal that let you deal with them and then adding that arsenal to the original characters? Now you're an army and you start effortlessly clearing out dozens of enemies that used to be a source of stress, was a very cathartic experience. The soundtrack for that section helped a lot too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_mur51oU4Q Never liked automatic weapons in re games much but the smg in 7 is good with a controllable recoil and manageable firerate and was worth using at midrange.

Yeah getting all of Mia's items was a big "Hell yeah" moment. The molded aren't bad enemies at all. They were definitely lacking in variety for sure but they weren't poorly-designed or lacking in detail at all. And it was very satisfying to blast through a swarm of the fuckers when at the beginning of the game just one molded felt like a big threat and two at once almost felt unfair.

Oh the amount of time you're dealing with the stalker type variants of jack and marguerite was much smaller than i remembered in my second run too, marge is real easy to avoid and she's only around for a minute or two really, patrolling only 3 rooms. I remember her being a nightmare in my first run but I bet I was just conflating it with her bossfight. I was trying real hard to solid snake past jack after the intro and failed however.

I'm bout to come at you guys with the hottest take ever: A Resident Evil game should have zombies in it. Zombies that make sounds like "ahhghgggghhh" and "blrrrurggh" and try to bite you.

Like ridiculously big teeth that also have a super cool animation if one bites your arm and doesnt let go cause they wiggle around as they chomp. They're also slow and kiteable to avoid if you want similar to re1, although the game throws enough ammo your way on normal its not necessary to run from any fight if you don't waste to much ammo. The big difference is just they have a wider variety of attacks compared to most re enemies, including some that are ranged. Sharkopath fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Apr 10, 2020 |

The enemy I really grew to hate was 6's version of the plagas that you fight in every campaign but leons. Now if you want variety they have it but it just kind of cemented my view that variety alone doesn't make the combat good. I like the one mutation that turns them into stag beetles that chomp you with their entire torso though, if I had to become a zombie mutant monster thats the one I'd want to be.

rabidsquid posted:i liked RE7 more than you did and i think this largely comes down to personal taste in general HOWEVA i will say that people praised RE7 as a "return to form" and "spiritually just like the first game" because they were very desperate to praise it for not being anything like 5/6 I think it was more considered a return to form since, at least the first time you play it, resources feel relatively scarce (at least for me since I suck) and the emphasis is on feeling trapped in a creepy atmosphere and finding the right tools to get out instead of being so much an action game. A lot of times, you really felt that sense of desperation and hoping to find something to help you out of a tough spot. That's my memory of it anyway. I enjoy the tension that the best games in the series create and RE7 felt plenty tense to me. I really loved it and dug how they changed up the formula too, although it could have used some more enemy variation. I started a replay of it a few months back and was digging it all over it again but got sidetracked. When I'm done loving around with RE3, I'll probably get back to it.

The molded would have been great if there was build up to a section where one just followed your rear end around like the Bakers, but it was the only one. When you first run into the molded they'd pretty shocking but then you keep running into them so they aren't interesting anymore and get super boring to deal with.

Now that RE2 and FF7 finally got a remake, Dino Crisis sits with Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve as the games I most want to see a modern remake of. I'm absolutely down for RE8 no matter what direction they decide to go with it, but a new Dino Crisis would definitely get me more hyped right now and the current team at Capcom seems like they would knock it out of the park.

Also, I completely forgot that Dino Crisis had 3D backgrounds, because I think the second Dino Crisis has pre-rendered ones. blackguy32 fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Apr 11, 2020 |

If they wanted to do asymmetrical multiplayer they should just do Dino Crisis with a bonus mode where someone plays individual dinosaurs within the campaign like Perfect Dark's counter-operative mode. I would replay the poo poo out of that. Or hell just make Mercenaries mode with dinosaurs. I don't mind RE games being short at all as long as there are interesting bonus modes to mess around with. Mercenaries is such a good formula that it's crazy they didn't include it here, and even weird stuff like RE0's leech hunting mode or literally "play the game again but as Wesker with superpowers this time" mode can make a short game feel much longer without even requiring much in the way of asset work.

I haven't played it in a long time though. I do want to see Code Veronica remade though. Hopefully, they make Steve less annoying.

It seems if you die and you load your auto save rather than selecting continue, it doesn’t record the death. My last speed run shows 0 deaths when in actuality I hosed up a couple of times.

I think the main reason Mercs isn't in the RE3MAKE is that there's no way to consistently run through the areas. It's several distinct areas and corridors, with cutscenes transporting you from new map to new map. There's no way to walk from the subway station to the sewers, for instance, because you teleport via a vent.
