The inventory system is a million times more sensible on a controller than it is with a mouse, where you can use the D-Pad to instantly switch to any of the four cardinal directions, and when you have downtime you can pop it open and re-arrange things as you see fit using the pad + either the Y button or Triangle button, depending on your console.

ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:That being said, they actually did up their game significantly with the various ways to die in RE6. There's no instance of a head falling off anyone's shoulders, but there is a whole bunch of creatively gruesome ways to make you feel like some sort of helpless idiot when something kills you. It was pretty tame, but still... uuurgh. Also: this LP is great, and I look forward to seeing all the ways CJacobs can get you both killed in future updates.

Also, I know the end of the main game is still some way off, but are you planning to do any Mercenaries stuff as a bonus after? If it'll sway you into saying "yes", there'll be a whole extra bunch of ways available for CJacobs to screw things up!

I'll talk with Cjacobs about doing some supplementary videos. With RE4 I don't care for the merc missions and have never really played them. Thus I am the bad.

Zain posted:Also I want people to watch the cut version for my pro as hell editing skills! Generally I'm not much for tooting my own horn here but god drat that was like the most perfect edit to ever happen. Honestly all you have to watch is at the 33:11 minute mark. Since I usually just watch the Uncut versions because I like seeing the True LP Experience™, I don't usually get to see things like that. Seriously, if the commentary didn't give it away, I wouldn't have known it was an edit at all.

Regarding Ep 2 comment "Isn't Leon friends with his sister?" I don't actually think Leon and Claire are any special friends aside from "yeah, Raccoon City was a thing". Mostly because Leon is a bitter dick. At least from what I remember in Resident Evil Degeneration? By the way, LP is great so far. The technical issues are hilarious.

The CG Resident Evil films are canon since they take place in the game's universe and were produced by Capcom directly, the live action films are not part of the canon, they are separate, and thank god for that.

There is actually such a thing as a phlebotomist, if that's what you meant to say.  That room in the mine with the crossbow and dynamite guys on the higher ground can be brutal. I think I always made a beeline for the ladders to go up and take them out first. Irving's voice acting is so weird. I mean it's done with such conviction... but yeah it really does sound right out of a Saturday morning cartoon.

That was a really seamless edit last time.  I did one in the... fourth episode of the DS2 LP to cover about 45 seconds I totally forgot to cut out the first time, but there's still a little tell (I blame having a torch on screen, heh).You two do make a pretty good team.... CJacobs posted:"I will distract the man!!" ...well, commentary-wise.  I kind of agree vis a vis the bit about Sheva using rifles ("kind of" because if you look at your own OP, you can see she's using a shotgun ). I think it's because she's just so small compared to everybody else, and I think the gun models are bigger than usual, I guess to make them stand out when the camera's pulled away. Like in the cutscene with the zombie bikers, her M92 (normally about 8" long) is bigger than her forearm. Longarms don't really have that problem.Also amazed you killed the bat boss so quickly; like CJ said, I remember it being a way harder fight. Like, running around in circles for my life dropping mines, not "knock it over twice, empty SMG clip."

For me, Irving is where this game becomes inconsistent with what it wants for a tone. For some reason, Capcom genuinely thought people would treat the goofy Irving as a speed bump and forget about him quickly. The problem is that things like Irving's VA performance really stand out so much that it's impossible to not be knocked out of the serious atmosphere. You have this whole overarching thread of "Jill Valentine is DEEEEEEAAAAADD!" alongside more reserved and serious attitudes from Chris and Sheva. And then Irving introduces himself and decides to be, as you guys said, a Saturday morning cartoon character and harken to some of the sillier parts of the franchise. But, the game wants to smother that silly side and keep barreling down the serious drama path, to the point where you start to ask "Just what exactly did you want for this game's tone, Capcom"?

DO IT TO IT posted:Irving is this game's Salazar, but he sucks because you can tell he's trying to be this game's Salazar. Yeah, Irving is kind of a dud. However, this game's Saddler manages to single-handedly out-ham the entire goddamn series and it's amazing. Like, if he chewed the scenery any harder he would spontaneously turn into Skeletor.

He presents a wide, squat profile (Even though he is a tall dude) and she presents a tall, skinny profile (Even though she's shorter than him). He resembles a pistol or SMG, she resembles a long gun. Check it out, side by side Chris looks like he's three or four times as thick as Sheva:

Batbug is part bat and part bug. The nubs on the rear half were clearly prolegs  Also the dogs were African painted/wild dogs, not dingoes (which are found only in Australia) or Hyenas. Yes I am the type of person that would obsessively try to identify what the source animals were for all the creatures in RE: Revelations

Batbug had booblegs. You can spin tassels around your your nips very easily. Its not a far step to carrying your enormous bugbody on a bunch of tits. Also I agree that was a fantastic transition edit. Mak0rz posted:Batbug is part bat and part bug. The nubs on the rear half were clearly prolegs Oh please do!

He resembles a pistol or SMG, she resembles a long gun. Yeah, good way of putting it. And I was curious after all that, and according to the RE Wiki she's 5'5" to Chris's and Josh's 6' 1", which is about right. The knife takedowns and capoeira make a lot of sense when you have about half the weight going into your strikes than your teammates do. Mak0rz posted:Also the dogs were African painted/wild dogs, not dingoes (which are found only in Australia) or Hyenas. Ooh, thanks for the info. I knew they weren't hyenas either (and man, what a weird animal, it'd figure the closest thing we'd have to a CatDog is this horrifying thing), but it's hard to get a good look at the type of dog they are before, y'know, their skull splits in half and tentacles fly out. What breed is that, smart guy?!

Chris abuses steroids to overcome his trauma and confront Wesker. Leon abuses hair spray to overcome his trauma and confront Ada. Makes sense. Also, Zain won't read this because it's a spoiler, but CJacobs, you better abuse that cattle prod when you unlock it if Zain doesn't.

What breed is that, smart guy?! Here's a neat fact about the dog enemies: In RE5 they are known as "Adjule," which is the name of a north African dog creature of urban legend. This is kind of neat because using the game world to explain real world conspiracy nonsense is well within Assassin's Creed territory and not really something Resident Evil does a lot.

We just finished recording a session and I forgot to do the thing, sorry. So you won't see the thing for at least a few videos.
