McTimmy posted:Yeah, like, it's telling how despite the outbreaks being so much more vicious than slow zombies the world just keeps dealing with it and going on. RE lore is cool because while at the ground level its completely loving insane and stupid, the overall wider world is insanely Human and makes sense poo poo like umbrella just dying due to going bankrupt and losing all its stock but that not mattering in the slightest because a corporation isn't some giant evil monolithic entity rules. once raccoon city proved bioweapons are not only viable, but insanely viable, pandora's box opened and every single country on the planet decided they wanted in on that poo poo. the US being the US actively goes out of it's way to cover up and gently caress up anti-bioweapon stuff and gently caress up anti-bioterror organizations to the point of arming and staging terrorist attacks to empower the US's reach because that's what superpowers do even when the US gets a president (leon's best friend) who is anti-bioweapon, he is immediately assassinated by the people under him in a bioterror attack the BSAA are completely shortchanged and hosed and routinely prevent world-ending outbreaks because human greed and all the bad parts of 'humanity' never have any qualms of going hamhocks with bioweapons while chris and company barely make it by their teeth to basically be a bandaid to to world being on a crash course to the apocalypse. because humanity is so focused on just gettin by day to day and governments are actively squashing bioweapons as a 'threat' of that level, the stuff is treated in the same way that people treat bad poo poo goin on when it happens 'somewhere else' as usual, down to NGOs practically having to beg for funding from private investors and the BSAA having to be funded by private investors (who are also developing bioweapons, lmao) because nobody in the public cares enough to support it chris's story in RE5 about how he really can't tell if it's worth fighting anymore is stacked on top of like 11 years of fighting leading to the world objectively being in a worse place than when he started and by the time of re8 poo poo has gotten so bad that he's out here quadruple tapping mia because the redfield bloodline must continue

Suspicious Cook posted:So if the megamycete catalogs everyone who dies and Heisenberg somehow was aware of Chris punching boulders, so the village is aware of RE5's volcano fight, does that mean RE9 can have Mold Wesker back at it again with the complete, global saturation? yes but they would have to have a file or something saying how old wesker came into contact with the mold/megamycete while doing oroborous research or some poo poo. gently caress, how much more incredible would it have been if the spencer file in 8 was wesker in the 70's or something.  that whole thing tho with the umbrella logo just feels like they want to make a medievil game and have a connection to the present day, but we'll see. maybe thats what resident evil apocalypse is, like the final days of rome/something but its some outbreak thing by umbrella logo cult which gets tied into the family stuff from 6 and the connections and hcf Vikar Jerome fucked around with this message at 09:07 on May 22, 2021 |

Jesus was put in a cave and resurrected by a megamycete. The grail as an object of power was his cup infested with spores, which eventually found its way into the cavern systems we see in RE8, where it has been growing ever since. The megamycete of RE8 is Jesus, and it knowingly sacrificed itself so as to not be used in Miranda's plots.

Thanks for the tips on VoS Heisenberg, I was able to get him in a couple tries last night. Once I actually paid attention to the arena and used the metal chunks as shields when the cannon was recharging it went pretty quickly. The Chris section....goddam. I lost count of how many times I had to restart the final part. But now it's done and I got the Rocket Pistol which is the saddest, most pathetic reward I've ever seen in a RE game.

I just finished the game and when I went into Mercenaries mode it got to the level selection but once I chose that it somehow caused my computer to completely reset.

Inspector Gesicht posted:RE7: Is the Albert with its tiny magazine worth a squirt of piss? It does a decent chunk of damage but is quickly eclipsed by the other weapons you get. Not a bad starter pistol, but that's about it. It's kinda nice in the initial fight with Jack in the garage where you can just start blasting without having to get close enough to grab the deputy's gun.

Fereydun posted:RE lore is cool because while at the ground level its completely loving insane and stupid, the overall wider world is insanely Human and makes sense That's part of what's fueled my obsession with it overall. Most other zombie media is apocalypse porn (TWD, Zombieland) and/or splatterpunk (Dead-Alive), but both RE and Dead Rising are unusual if not unique in that the zombies are just bad weather. Since the 1978 Dawn of the Dead, the attraction of the zombie scenario for a lot of creators seems to be that it's a relatively clean way to destroy civilization and force characters' backs to the wall. Therefore, there's this big contrived chain of off-stage coincidences so the systems of civilization somehow aren't resilient enough to survive the attack. In RE's wider world, those systems are present, active, and for the most part, have been able to cope. There have been major losses, and RE7/8 in particular make the greater world look like it's nothing but biohazardous land mines waiting to go off, but society in general is still there. It's weirdly refreshing.

Heisenberg sounds a lot like Officer Dangle from Reno 911site posted:finally getting around to this and it's interesting to see them admit that the game just was straight up not fun to play and apparently the devs didn't seem to notice until it got in the hands of testers "The combat wasn't very good, so we decided that despite having amazing physics technology in our repitoire that allowed for complex damage modeling we totally ignored that and gave the enemies less feedback when being damaged We could have made a big difference in both making the combat feel satisfying and preventing players from wasting ammo by avoiding slow and ambiguous death animations but we forgot how to do that apparently." (NO, I will never get over the fact that they regressed so hard from their gore technology in RE2make I will be bitter forever) Tumble fucked around with this message at 21:01 on May 22, 2021 |

Tumble posted:Heisenberg sounds a lot like Officer Dangle from Reno 911 from the video i think it was that there were like 15 lycans per encounter and they moved faster and they didn't give you enough ammo to deal with it and not that they didn't have pieces fall of their face

BiggerBoat posted:I don't know if it was Capcom was going for making it so hard to navigate, thinking it would add tension, but the mapping in this game is loving horrible. The only thing it really works for is giving me OCD in areas that I swear I cleared but are still red for some reason. Those red rooms had me baffled too, but the map will keep the room red even if theres a treasure you have to shoot down.

I already felt like ammo was really scarce in Village. It was fun though, lots of "Yeah I have no recourse but to shoot things point blank with the sniper rifle, here we go" moments

I had zero issues with ammo for 80% of the game on Normal. Then towards the end I started to realize that The Duke wasn't replenishing his ammo the way I thought he would, so I was down to scraping together ammo from dropped gunpowder and metal. And yeah, sniper ammo seemed the easiest to craft so that was my fallback for like the entirety of the Stronghold.

In stronghold you can run past most of the enemies, which is good because I was looooow by the end Heisenberg. If the RE4 ammo trick didn't work not sure what i'd have done in spots

I got sick of trying to get through when I did my VoS run and just strategically ran, killing only what I needed to. Even with infinite ammo that section can be overwhelming. I wanted to save all my grenades and flash grenades for the final bit and the boss.

StabMasterArson posted:There is though.

Ethan still just tanks an axe swing or whatever with his hands. I was imagining something like timing the block right would cause Ethan to interrupt or internet the attack and punch/kick/shove them away in one fluid animation.

For the section with Chris you can on normal eventually kill so many enemies it stops spawning new waves. I uh, was a little overzelous with the shooty the first time.

I like how this game does a really good job of hiding items and making you want to scour every inch of the playing area. Where's a psycho stimulant when I need one? drat you, still red buildings! About that, is it usually a treasure that I have to shoot down like someone suggested? Because even then I can't usually find that mother fucker.

Usually there's a tiny gem in the ceiling in most cases that's the culprit, or possibly a birdcage hanging up. The birdcages especially can be outta sight and you might not think to try shooting them at first glance.
