I was thinking mouse, since I'm used to mouse aiming, but I was wondering how the game would handle it, so knowing that helps. What I think worries me is how the QTEs are mapped to the keyboard, which is why I wondered if a controller would be better. The button mashing QTEs can certainly be annoying on a keyboard but I only remember a couple that might an actual problem re: not being able to mash fast enough. I don’t remember how/it it handles switching between controls. If you you can just pick one at will that would be ideal.

amigolupus posted:- Shooting mooks on the head or shin stuns them and you can run forward to do a special melee move This should be very much emphasized if it's new to you. It took me way too long to realize, but the gameplay is 100% designed around you constantly kneecapping folks and running in to do a melee move that also staggers other enemies for a second. Follow up with knife slashes if you have time. The game is tougher and you'll use a ton more ammo if you use guns too exclusively.

He's got the presence but I really need to hear some lines.  Is the series going full wacky, half, none? It'll be crystal clear for the first Wesker scene, won't it.

Reddick has already played a ridiculous Wesker style villain in The Guest, which is a low-key spoof of the MCU. The director said he thought of it after watching Halloween and The Terminator back to back, but there's a point in the movie where it abruptly cuts from the suburban scene it's been developing to an Evil Corporate Military Base where everything is made of stainless steel, the corporate logo is on every door and wall, and faceless stormtroopers march around doing nothing.

amigolupus posted:I think the reason is that Rebecca was just sensible enough to not spend her entire life fighting the undead and instead chose to pursue a career as a medical researcher and professor. Considering how we've seen Chris getting more and more worn down as the series goes on, I can't say I blame Rebecca for her decision. Oh, I didn't know the stage play was available to watch online. Might have to check that out at some point. - So instead of starting RE4 tonight, I instead tried to play RE Survivor using the patch/hack to restore light gun support. I've never tried it with the regular controls, but the lightgun controls (at least via emulation) don't seem that great. Movement is done by pointing the reticle off the screen and firing: once to walk, again while walking to run, and twice to walk backwards. The way it was mapped for me, the left turn was mapped to the right mouse button, and left turn was mapped to the middle mouse (effectively making them reversed). I might have had an easier time if I knew out how to remap it to the keyboard. I didn't get very far. I got to the prison where you find the shotgun, and then got killed by a Hunter. I had continues, but I decided to give up. Apparently you can load a saved game, but I didn't run across any typewriters (unless the game auto-saves). If you're interested in giving it a shot, you can get the light gun patch here: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/4196/ I'll start RE4 tomorrow, provided my second vaccine shot doesn't knock me out.

Lance Reddick already pretty much has been Wesker as Martin Hatch of Quantum Break so I fully trust that he will be able to pull off that type of character. Wesker is white historically but so what, the Resident Evil games are also good historically so its not like the movies are following their lead to begin with.

I *knew* there was something videogamey I was forgetting, all I could think of was Horizon Zero Dawn, which he's fine in but not bonkers. Also looking that up, I only just now realized we've all been taking about an actual casting choice rather than someone's hypothetical idea

So I played up to the dock in the first chapter RE4 (specifically the dock with the fish trick. You know what I'm talking about.) The game controls pretty well with mouse-and-keyboard, though maybe not as well as I'd like. I remembered to set the aiming to 'Modern', though the 'issue' I have is that Leon's aim shakes a bit, which can cause you to whiff shots (which in turn, makes me think that maybe that was why I missed shots back when I played the Wii version.) Movement is still a bit of an issue for me, though I'm getting the hang of it. Even though you can aim freely, it's still the RE tank controls, which makes trying to aim around corners a little frustrating since you can't strafe. You also can't move and shoot at the same time, but I knew that going in. I've died a few times (though instead of retrying, I just loaded a save). Following the advice I got, I try to go for headshot, run up, and then do a kick. From there, I try to knife the downed enemy to conserve ammo. Against a couple of lone enemies, it works fine, but if there's a big group, it gets sketchy. Sometimes I won't get a headshot, and rush in, where I realize the enemy has already recovered. I try to knife or shoot them in a panic, but in the case of the knife, the distance is sometimes too short, so I get a pitchfork to the face or something. I'm worried about later in the game, when you have to go up against other enemies apart from the villagers. Don't really know how I'm doing in terms of items. It's nice that enemies will drop stuff, though I'm not exactly overflowing with healing items, which makes me think I'm playing poorly. Eggs seems to do pretty good in terms in terms of healing (at least with the starting health pool), and you find a lot of them. Handgun ammo is pretty plentiful, which is nice, since you need it to get some of the out-of-reach treasures. Speaking of I've been referring to a guide so I can try and find the rarer treasures, so I can afford to buy stuff from the shopkeeper. I've bought one upgrade for the pistol (which ended up being pointless, since I did the medallion quest, got the Punisher, and then sold the handgun), the treasure map for the village, the rifle, and the expanded storage box (Attache Case M).

Handgun ammo is pretty plentiful, which is nice, since you need it to get some of the out-of-reach treasures. RE4 is merciful where as long as you have 0-1 healing items, the Merchant will always have two first-aid sprays on stock. So you can buy two sprays, use one to heal up and then buy a replacement.

 Am I doing it right? Also I picked the Red9, since A.) it sounds like it's more powerful in the long run than the Blacktail, and B.) it's the first new pistol you get access to, apart from the Punisher.
