Hakkesshu posted:Ethan having absolutely terrible one liners is the best thing about him. Yeah, I get that it's intentional and I do like that about Ethan but there's a little something he's missing in his performance to match up against the Lords. The closest he got was taunting Moreau about stealing the jar from him.

You really have to juggle between characters to take advantage of combos and expose weaknesses. I just put Rev2 on my list of games I finally have to get around to playing lol, totally missed the whole Revelations arc.

Here is a drive folder of mine some of you may be interested in: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1t-dbM4jmvyDO6WAmriwl4Kg36EOVO2A5?usp=sharing I've been tracking down/cleaning up some archives of PS1 era horror games, mostly RE with DC2 and PE2 thrown in. There are mediafire links out on the web with associated headaches, but this is my local backup I'll share here. These are the ripped backgrounds from those games, and in some cases like REmake I used other ID data to name the room files to make browsing easier. I was curious to compare some of them: https://twitter.com/hatersgonnahate/status/1400629216325029894 ...and also to try and make comprehensive maps that incorporate the actual images (posted an alt version before) but didn't like how it was turning out: https://twitter.com/hatersgonnahate/status/1373296120533823488 ...anyway, download and peruse if that's your thing. Don't have upscaled REmake BGs, not all of RE0 is in there, and I've yet to come across RE1.5 rips although the game is out there.

It’s too bad that RE4 on Switch omitted adding gyroscopic controls (even though it was added to 5 and 6??) My girlfriend has difficulty using dual analogue controls, but after playing Breath of the Wild she’s pretty comfortable with gyro aiming.

Hakkesshu posted:Ethan having absolutely terrible one liners is the best thing about him. I genuinely enjoy "that's not groovy!" from RE7, because it sounds exactly like what a terrified person would say in that situation and circles back round to being funny. Like, people in real life say some dumb poo poo during fights and emergencies.

I was complaining about how the gameplay felt in RE8 in here and went back for my almost-yearly replay of RE4 shooting the Ganados in the foot to make them pratfall when they're running and be stuck on the ground for a few seconds or sweeping like 3 of them away with one kick feels almost unfair compared to the hyper-aggressive lycans bobbing and weaving their way right into your drat face while randomly also deciding to shrug off headshots

I love Ethan being your average Joey Bagofdonuts. If he hammed it up like the other characters it would have felt TOO close to RE4, I feel. It's pretty refreshing to just play as a normal dude for once, and his terrible one liners are SO bad I'm 100% convinced it was intentional. "You're the one who's cursed!  ""Eat poo poo!  ""Caught myself a big one!  "Just absolute dipshit energy and it's great. I'm sure we're going back to your regular schedule RE larger than life protagonist programming with the next games.

His "Eat poo poo" after the Hammer Lycan is special to me, because he said it about a half second after I did. I've never felt more in-tune with a video game protagonist than I do with Ethan Winters.

Halloween Jack posted:[Marguerite turns into a bug monster] Hard to say for me if that one or "That is NOT groovy" is my favorite Ethan line. But really though, in an industry full of Dadtagonists like Kratos and Joel, Ethan is a breath of fresh air to me. If I gotta play as a dude like this in a game can he just be a well meaning Wife Guy instead some emotionally constipated psychopath? Every time Kratos opens his mouth and every cutscene with Joel and Ellie I'm just like uuuuuuuuuuuugh PLEASEE can the creative director of this poo poo go to therapy. Meanwhile with RE8 I'm just like ETHAN LOVES HIS DAUGHTER SO MUCH

His "You BASTARD" to a zombie still standing after a headshot with the same intonation as if somebody cropdusted the cereal aisle he was standing in.  The worst bit of hand trauma in RE8 is mere minutes after getting his ring finger, pinky, and a chunk of his palm bitten off, Ethan slams said fist into the wall after escaping Luiza's house. Doesn't even flinch. Bro be careful.....

I have found my people. Ethan is one of my favorite video game protagonists in years and it's partially because of how well he's integrated into the world. Every single character is in some way related to Ethan and his struggles, the whole game has this loving wild symbiotic relationship with him, Mia, and Rose. Nearly every single character is a father who's lost his daughter, a daughter trying to save her father, a wife who lost her husband, a mother whose child is her puppet. Even the concept art reflects this with things like Heisenberg's big stupid engine block guy who lost both of his hands in the propeller blades originally designed to be his biological father. I love how even the visual identities of the other characters reflect Ethan's family, stuff like Miranda's halo having golden roses and the transformed Miranda's shaded face and halo having golden feathers around the shoulders a la his coat. Clearly Capcom appreciate the dude and want you to appreciate him too.

A RE4 remake should include an Assignment: Merchant mode that is the Merchant needing to stay one step ahead of Leon and solving puzzles that would have normally unlocked weapons in old games himself so he can sell them. Include setting up the targets for the Punisher and some kind of joke about the Magnum that Leon can get himself.

If we're talking mundane one-liners, I loved Claire's constant "What the hell"s and "What is with you"s in RE2make. It's a shame she never got to team up with Ethan so they can just drop F bombs and exasperatedly yell at everything constantly.

That gag ending from the MGS3 theater where Snake causes all kinds of time paradoxes, but in the RE-verse. How does the merchant get around? Meta-humor, that's how. The Duke is (possibly) a trickster god, he can attest.

The topic of RE1make in first person came up and while I'm sure it's been posted before I don't recall ever seeing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81GNt0LHLf8 It's about 20 minutes or so of a fan made first person Spencer Mansion and I really wish Capcom would do a whole game. You'd have to jank the AI a little so that zombies don't just stand there and react to body shots like RE2make but I think it looks cool.

Andrigaar posted:I held down M1 a lot. I wish there was more to it, but the game offered little to no feedback if I was damaging him or hitting a bulletproof section because it looked like the same particle effect to me, and causing the glowing parts to explode seemed to mainly be about interrupting his charges. The particle effect you're looking for is like a stream of sparks. When your shots are ineffective, they just cause random sparks. When you're landing hits on the weakpoints, the sparks come out like a steady stream. It looks sort of like a concentrated fountain of sparks shooting off in one direction. Like what you see when you watch someone welding something. clockworx posted:I'm stuck on Heisenberg VoS as well. I watched some YouTubes of people beating him and feel like I'm literally playing a different game. I'll hit him with a rocket once, then he'll immediately get two consecutive hits on me in a row before the rocket reloads, so I'm pretty hosed right out of the gate. I can't seem to keep distance at all the way the people are in Youtube videos. Use the rocket as he approaches very close. It pushes him all the way back to wall behind him. Use this to reset the distance instead of damage. Besides that, you just need to land your hits on his weakpoints. The more weakpoints you can destroy, the more he'll flinch, and the more time it buys your cannon to reload. That's really it unfortunately.

An interesting piece of news, especially for such a classic game: https://www.polygon.com/22519568/resident-evil-4-copyright-infringement-lawsuit-capcom My initial thought was some crank who claims someone stole their story, but no, this is a professional photographer and designer and some overworked Capcom employees/managers did a naughty and didn't license her work properly. And what she's asking for isn't that high. This will probably be quietly settled.
