His only real problems is that sometimes he is pretty crappy at stuff and he has a habit of repeating himself to try to fill dead air time, but that isn't much of an issue with RE3.

His Siren LP is a loving masterpiece. I considered buying it and decided to watch a video or two to see how it played, and I'm pretty sure I made the right choice in not buying it. His original RE2 LP is really good, too, if you want to revisit that game without actually playing it.

I think that was it. I knew there was at least a couple of things that shuffled things up but, in fairness to myself, it's been a long time and I didn't wear out 3 like I did some of the other entries. I kind of have an itch to pick up RE7 again since I've managed to forget almost everything about it and not being sure what to do is most of the fun for these games. I also forgot just how batshit RE4 managed to get. I'm up to chapter 4 and god drat. I forgot how well the game balances making you feel really powered up and rich - ready to rock - and then putting you in tense situations that test all those upgrades and weapons you bought plus tactics you've learned and I love the way it makes me switch up my weapons and approach. It keeps upping the ante (more wooden shields, parasite heads, face masks, crossbow assholes and whatever those blind wolverine fuckers are) I spent a good 10 minutes and went full tetris suitcase to make room for a 2nd rocket launcher thinking I was being clever and then realized the merchant was sold out so gently caress you, BiggerBoat is what's really up.

SIREN is my favorite survival horror game on PS2. It's just so drat good, you just have to WANT it because it wants to hurt you.

I’m playing through the first Revelations game. The map stinks in this game. I can see how it must have been an awesome 3DS game. Did it come out all at once or were the episodes released over time?

Rev 1 was a single release. Rev 2's episodes released separately, but only like, a week between each.

I do wonder if Rev 1 was originally going to be episodic like Rev 2, what with the 'LAST TIME ON RESIDENT EVIL REVELATIONS' bit before each chapter.

I've started run two as Claire. I was not expecting Mr. X to show up as early as he did. I feel like I'm burning though ammo at a faster rate than Leon too.

What's the general feeling about Revelations 1/2? I started 1 and and it seemed OK at first, but then it seems to have turned into a lame corridor shooter with none of the charm or interesting design of Resident Evil 4/2make/3make. Yet, I see consistently high reviews for it. I'm confused.

I don't really care much for Revelations 1, but I think Revelations 2 is actually one of the best-written games in the entire franchise. The quality of the characterization is off the charts. By the end of the game, you're going to feel like you know more about the antagonist than you know about the villains of every other Resident Evil game put together, in terms of what deep-seated fears and personal issues motivate the character to do what she does.

Revelations 2 is good though I think it’s still a bit awkward since it’s both carrying over some stuff from Rev1 but also putting in some new stuff like co-op, stealth, and some light crafting. If you’re playing it single player - and you probably are because the campaign is local co-op only - switching between the two characters can also be a bit awkward, especially for Barry since his partner can only really find hidden stuff (like the scanner from Rev1) but does so by literally pointing at it. Since you need that stuff a lot of the time you’re switching to his partner and just sweeping around the room with their finger until glowies light up. Claire’s partner can do more active stuff but still plays differently and Claire is the only one with guns so.... Worth playing however, though I also think that about Rev1 and enjoy it a lot too. People who talked about the characters are right. This isn’t some deep characterization but very enjoyable and genuinely funny and heartfelt.

Dr.D-O posted:What's the general feeling about Revelations 1/2? The first Revelations was Capcom's first attempt, in retrospect, to split the difference between the genuine scares of the pre-RE4 games with the camera perspective and gunplay of RE4/RE5. At the time, it was genuinely refreshing, but it's been dramatically outdone since then by virtually every subsequent game. It's also got some goofy enemy design, a couple of really annoying encounters, and Quint.

I enjoyed Revelations 1 a whole lot more than 2. I thought Rev 2 was too brown, had some really boring chapters in boring environments (sewers, really?). I hated the partner gameplay, and the raid mode was worse than Rev 1.

I remember thinking Rev 1 felt a bit small scale when I played it on Wii U, which makes sense considering its origins. I grabbed it for cheap on steam but haven't gotten around to replaying it for a fresh opinion. Rev 2 has consistently been my favorite post-4 game until 7 and the remakes, for a lot of the reasons mentioned earlier. I just wish I'd gotten to play it at some point with local co-op, character switching in single-player is definitely a big thing dragging it down.

I’m giving up on RE 7. I’ll watch a let’s play or listen to the WOFF episode, but the molded are too uninteresting and the combat is totally unfun. Hopefully VIIliage improves on the FPS formula by leaps and bounds, but I’m not sure I’ll pick it up until it’s on sale. Luckily I’ve got RE4 to look forward to.

im going to go against the grain here and say that i find the co-op aspect of Revelations 2 to be totally overstated. it's fun couch co-op but while playing single player i don't feel like you had to really switch all that often during just regular game play. the co-op AI partner only "needs" to do a very very short list of things, which is pointing out an invisible enemy typeor Moira can stun some enemies with the flashlight. also those enemies Moira can stun can overwhelmingly just be immediately killed by Moira with little to no hassle. the rest of it is unlocking secrets you only ever have to unlock once, but also they're secrets for unlocks and in reality you do not have to unlock ever. you can straight up start a new game to go out of your way to get those, they don't need to interact with regular game play loops and if they're disruptive just stop feeling compelled to find them all during a regular play of the game. edit: there are a few puzzles that require character switching but off the top of my head none of them involve combat, or the area can be cleared of danger before you attempt them if you want.

I just wish that Barry's partner in Rev 2 could call out enemy weakpoints without having to manually switch to her every time. Like you aim at an enemy and she shouts out 'left arm' or 'right leg'. Controlling her could still be used to look ahead to see where enemies are before you rush in.

a7m2 posted:The second run is just more difficult I think. I started the second run as Leon and I felt the exact same way. Interestingly now that I've played a bit more I find the difficult parts of the two runs are swapped. The sewer section was real tough when I went through with Leon, but a breeze with Claire thanks to her launcher annihilating those sewer monsters. Got way more ammo now too, but that might be me just being more skilled in avoiding zombies and not getting cornered by Mr. X. Still haven't found the key to the S.T.A.R.S. case.

Having just beaten Revelations 2 I'm confident in saying that the glasps (the invisible flying enemies with an insta-kill) are my least favourite Resident Evil enemy. They're not difficult to deal with but they are frustrating.
