Doomykins posted:The theme of this post is Adagio For Strings. For future reference: if you can ditch Mr. X long enough, aren't afraid of killing Lickers, and care enough about the infinite knife, you can loop back around and get your knife back. Keep going though! S+ is really satisfying once you get it. I managed to finish Claire B with an S+ with just five minutes to spare. I could have saved time if I didn't go for the later two inventory expansions, but I like having the space for some healing items. I also somehow managed to beat Hunk's scenario. They really do give you just enough to get by. I think I was in Danger with a mostly full handgun and a half-empty SMG clip left after getting past the final bunch of zombies. Tofu is a lot of fun to play as, though I haven't quite managed to beat that one yet.

Open Marriage Night posted:There’s a Resident Evil 3 board game on Kickstarter. Same people as the RE2 one, making some minor improvements on the gameplay.

I'll probably end up backing it and getting the extra rewards for backing RE2. Edit: It looks like the RE3 board game is cheaper than the RE2 one. It's still a whopping $82 though.

Nightmare mode in RE3r is great. I greatly prefer its arrangement to the default, except the 2 massive difficulty spikes (the last RPD fight and the end boss.) Getting sandwiched between 2 paleheads on one side and a licker + 3 parasites on the other was absurd. Everyone already talked about the last boss. On attempt 30 or 40 I broke down and tried to cheat with the STARS manual but I'm not sure how much it helped. Generally though, the new encounter designs are more interesting, and getting the magnum right away to help deal with parasites (which are the biggest threat in the game now that their ranged attack does serious damage) is rad. An added benefit is now there's less incentive to replay the hospital as Claire (if you're wondering, the old magnum case has 2 bullets in it now.) So inferno mode S rank requires <6 saves and there's definitely more than 5 areas I have no faith in surviving. 3 saves felt like enough in RE2 because nothing could instantly kill you outside of a few gimmicks, but this will be tough. I'm thinking the first save would have to be after the power station, but every failed attempt would mean having to play the 5-minute intro sequence again which is brutal. I really wish they gave you an auto-save after that part since it's basically a cutscene anyways with only 1 dangerous zombie in the entire thing.

When I did my Inferno S run these were my saves: 1st - First typewriter in the Subway. 2nd - Kendo’s gun shop. 3rd - Jill’s room in the hospital as Carlos. 4th - Hospital basement after the fuse puzzle. 5th - Last typewriter before the final boss.

I'll give CV this, it had an awesome soundtrack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lq0K2mHJTFM I don't like RE as much as I did ten years ago but I still love the music. As for RE4, the fact thy will almost certainly not get any of the original VAs back bugs me. People got over them replacing Claire very quickly cuz RE2R owns bones but RE4 wouldn't be as good as it was without the great cheesy voicework of Paul Mercier. I'll care even if nobody else does.

Honestly that's the biggest thing that bugs me about remaking it, I wish they'd just use the same script and recordings because they're pretty integral. But then that gets going down the road of "what's the point" because then it'd be pretty close to just a reskin.

Cardiovorax posted:I have absolutely no idea what a Dark Souls boardgame would even look like, but I have to admit, I am curious now. serious post for once, I guess. In theory it follows the same principles as the video game (fight your way through some groups of minions, then do a big crazy boss fight, and if you die you respawn and come back), but in practice it's sort of a boring slog. The combat does a poor job emulating its source because all of your attacks and dodges are based on dice rolls, so even if you have perfect positioning and a good strategy, you can just get randomly dunked on (which, despite the meme reputation, is not how Dark Souls works). Death is usually due to bad rolls rather than anything you could've specifically prevented, particularly as the player count increases, because if one person dies, everyone dies. And then after you die and respawn, rules as written say you have to fight everything in the stage all over again, every time you come back (it's popular to houserule that you can run past encounters you've already cleared). An average game for my group usually took three to four hours, and by the end of it we'd just want it to be over. Back on topic, one thing I'd like to see if they remade RE4 would be more variation in the island enemies. The shift from schlubby farmers wielding pitchforks to chanting monks with medieval weapons is a great one and really sets the tone for the castle. Giving the soldier ganados new dialogue, maybe some faux-military chatter or something, would be a great touch, as would giving them more new weapons like the shock stick that some of them use. Machetes, batons, that kind of thing. Maybe even replace the wooden shields with riot shields like you'd expect SWAT to have.

I went and grabbed RE4 for the Wii for $4 because why not? Been a decade since I played it, my 9 year old is really loving the franchise and the reviews were good. Can you use the wii gun control thingy with it?

Also you can use a classic controller or plug in a GC pad if you've got one of the proper Wii models. Real fun is with the wiimote though! Out of interest which RE games have you let your son play? I remember finding RE1 terrifying as a 12 year old although that was back in 1996 when it seemed ultra realistic.

So do people actually like RE3make? I was very unimpressed. If RE2make made Mr. X a legend, RE3make totally ruined Nemesis' mystique. I guess besides that it wasn't terrible but it's nowhere near as good as the RE2 remake. It certainly didn't give me any more reason to have faith in the RE4 remake.

From what I can tell its half people saying its a glorified expansion pack, and half the people saying "I guess I get why you'd say its a glorified expansion pack, BUT..." and I've been wondering if the second half of people aren't just trying to justify a $60 purchase. I've been waiting for either a sale or whenever I decide to get back around to playing Claire's story, to save myself the cash

A rushing playthrough of R3make was a little under 2 hours for me, which isn't that far off RE2. The thing is, where RE2 was an extremely intense couple of hours, RE3 was just kinda boring cause there's not much thinking you have to do in terms of routing. It's just "go forward and shoot good" most of the time.

It's just altogether a fairly mediocre experience when compared to RE2make and RE7. Not terrible, but it's like RE5 was to RE4: you can see where the influences come from, but it isn't as good. RE2make and RE3make were worked on by completely different teams, though, so I'm trying not to be too pessimistic about it.

It's just "go forward and shoot good" most of the time. The first runthroughs blind are what it should be judged off of. In that I enjoyed it, but I enjoyed RE2 more. Once I unlocked everything, an Inferno runthrough took me under an hour. I laughed at that "Leon's 69th playthrough" video until I did literally that to S rank everything in an hour each time. Even unlocking everything in RE2, getting an S+ on Hardcore was a little more anxiety inducing. I think I spent more total time on RE2 than RE3 with all the extra playthroughs.

Resistance is a lot more fun now that everyone knows what they are doing. Still losing as the Survivors most of the time, but when you get a good team, sometimes you can totally roll all over the mastermind.
