I mean to be honest "is a vampire" isn't particularly less plausible than the actual reason he has superpowers.

Made it to the castle on RE 4. This is significantly further than I got when I messed around with the Wii version. I can understand why this game is thought of as one of the best in the series. I wish I had played 4 when it was new on Gamecube. The tension and creepiness in it are excellent. I miss boxes but at least quest items and treasures don't take up inventory space.

It helps that you can carry more than six things at a time. Leon's biggest attache case could probably fit everything you pick up over the course of a RE1 playthrough all at once.

After playing 7 and the 2, 3, and 1 remakes in succession I am more convinced than ever that inventory tetris is one of the best mechanics in the entire series, and every other game with a 1- or 2-block inventory system suffers for it.

Bonaventure posted:HCF -- could it stand for Hell's Cavalry Force?? It's Hive/Host Capture Force. I finally got to see what problems people had with Final Nemesis in R3make on the higher difficulties. If you don't use shop items, it's basically play perfectly or die. With shop items, if you have two defense coins and the manual, if you get hit by the second of a 3-hit overhead smash combo, you can mash up and heal quickly, but getting hit by the first hit is almost guaranteed death regardless. The tell of those smashes isn't too bad, though - just dodge the moment you see the arm twitch downwards, and don't try to focus-shot after a perfect dodge in the middle of the combo. Far less risky to just take shots during his wide arena sweeps or during the arm-over-arm bashes where his vector is locked in. Only took about half an hour of repeated attempts to figure out the timing. Is it that much worse on Inferno or is it the same fight?

Something I never thought much about - probably due to the fact I'm a total dork who knows nothing about guns - is how magical the RE4 shotgun is. It's like an AOE wave attack that sends rows of enemies flying. I don't think real shotguns work like that. Also I was always confused by the fact Snake and Raiden in MGS run with their gun held down in front of them and at waist-level while Leon holds his gun pointing up and to the side of his head. Billy and Rebecca alternate between these two styles in RE0.

I started my "hardcore" R3R run with infinite assault rifle and cleared the fences before they fell, at which point the scripted guys were back on their feet anyway.  That answers that.

I liked the swimming sections in Revelations. They were pretty tense when enemies were around, even if the pulse grenade cleared them out easily enough, and Jill moved a hell of a lot faster than that light jog she did everywhere else.

fellas I might be late to the party here but I think Nightmare/Inferno Nemesis 3 might not be a very good boss!!! oh well *pitches 100% game into the bin* please don't make Saddler RE4R into a joyless slog, that is my kokoro wish. it was so fun to fight that guy I'd practice doing it with the knife/hand gun, unwittingly training myself for future RE titles in 2020.

I certainly wouldn't play it again if you paid me for it. It's not that the game itself is that bad, even, but opera leeches and having to manually lug all your poo poo everywhere instead of having magical teleport boxes add up towards making it feel worse to play than it really had to be.

I would say 0 is easily the worst of the classic style RE games and edges into "is a bad game" territory myself. If it had classic item boxes then that would singlehandedly push it out of that tier but not having them makes it such a pain in the rear end at certain points. Has a lot of lovely annoying enemies as well. If you're extremely starved for more classic RE then it's worth a go I suppose.

I’ve played all the classic RE games and 0 was by far the most miserable experience of them all. Not having an item box has such a disastrous effect on the game’s quality.

It's funny how being able to drop items wherever was a big and exciting things when 0 was being marketed and it just ended up being worse than the item box system it replaced.

man nurse posted:0 isn’t that bad, it’s a perfectly serviceable classic style RE game, with all the tedium that entails. I’d play it if you’re into that style of game tbh Going to have to disagree with this. All horror RE games have item management baked in to some degree as it’s a core segment of survival horror, but Zero takes it to an absurd level having to manage and control two characters with no item boxes. So all that happens is any safe hub area becomes a dumping ground for all your poo poo, and as the game progresses you have to spend time running back and forth transferring all your items to a newer hub area. It’s stupid and dumb. On top of that:
It’s not all bad though, the train is genuinely very good, Rebecca has a good if totally wasted character arc, and I would say this is the first RE game that actually had genuinely good voice acting and dialogue. Overall though, it’s a bad game and a real shame the very last classic style RE game went out like a wet fart. As for why I wrote so many words on this, this game is memorable for being one of two on the GameCube that were such massive disappointments after a strong showing by their predecessors. The other was Star Wars Rogue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike. Who the gently caress looked at their widely successful space fighter combat game and decided what it really needed was terrible third person on foot combat sections?
