I always forget where the "Save RIGHT HERE" parts of the game are and wind up getting wrecked, especially if I've been doing well to that point.

Randallteal posted:The main thing I'm picking up from watching pieces of this Carcinogen RE4 run is there was way more treasure than I ever knew about hanging on ceilings in that game. I knew about the gas lanterns under the village and most of the bird's nests, but drat they hid a lot of treasure right above your head in that game. I think I missed 99 percent of it the first time I played it. Can confirm having recently been playing the Wii version. There's poo poo all over the place in that game.

Yeah, don't play RE6. If memory serves, it's the only RE game I just quit on and never finished. *checks memory* Yes, this was indeed my experience. I forget where I said "gently caress this trash" but I'm pretty sure I was in a sewer. That game flushed everything great about the series right down the toilet and ignored anything having to with the Survival Horror game play I enjoy and was expecting. I didn't like it and do not recommend it.

RealFoxy posted:It wasn't just that, it was super linear and the re-playability was stripped from it too. In 2 if you wanted to unlock everything it wasn't a big deal to play it 5, 6 more times to unlock the other costumes/infinite weapons/S Ranks because it was so fun and you could learn different/better routes or more creative ways of avoiding zombies. It was this. Well put. ANd I liked the game it just wasn't addictive like RE2 was. You never got that sense of being lost, short on ammo or compelled to explore much at all. And on replays, there was precious little "gonna do THIS this time, boy" beyond "use these items I unlocked".

Bout to fire up RE7 again for the first time in a while which will be fun because I don't remember much about it and my kid likes watching me play these games. Last time we played RE7 though, he legit peed his pants when Mia first showed up so we're gonna try again.

Yeah, he's not into it because there's no zombie shooting like he's used to. But he DID just come up with a really cool idea for a new RE game. At least I liked it. It takes place in a prison and you start out in solitary confinement or something, at the bottom of the jail, while the outbreak takes over the facility. So all the guards, the other prisoners and the SWAT team or whatever that's sent in to quell the outbreak all get zombied out and and you have to fight and kill your way out, unlocking doors and cell blocks and finding weapons to work your way through, floor by floor and level by level. The resource management and maze like level design this would offer, along with all the locked doors, key cards, weapons, medical areas and secret passages basically write themselves and fit in perfectly with the formula. Finding enough weapons to shoot your way past zombie prison guards and zombie inmates would be fun. Maybe have the opening cinematic set up let you meet certain rear end in a top hat guards, nasty inmates, cheesy lawyers, the corrupt judge that sent you down and a whole bunch of dick heads that make your journey into solitary a living hell and then you meet them all in zombie form on your way out that make them really fun to kill. I dig it. There was an old survival horror game on PS2 that took place in a jail but I forget the name of it and it had a different tone to what my kid just came up with.

Max Wilco posted:Well, I've made some considerable progress in RE1: Director's Cut. The guardhouse portion was a little nervewracking at first, but I really started enjoying it. I am finding, though, that I do need to clear out enemies in most of the rooms, because trying to dodge past them isn't really viable because of how little space there is. Even in the rec room, which is relatively large, I ended up getting cornered behind the pool table by the giant spiders, and had to shoot my way out. Still, it seemed like I was relatively flush with ammo, healing items, and ink ribbons. tbh this sounds like a typical 1st run of RE1, assuming you're going in blind. Only thing I'd say is always combine the herbs. There's zero reason not to unless it's green and green and sometimes even then.

rabidsquid posted:i have no idea why you would expect this to be any different than RE7 I guess because 7 was so different from previous entries so maybe people weren't sure if the idea moving forward was to keep changing it up a little? I wasn't certain what to expect. I recently went back to replay RE7 and, for some reason, didn't like it as much the second time around even though I loved it when it was released. 8 looks cool as hell but I'm not buying a new console anytime soon so I'll be back in 5 years with my review. Hopefully the castle is designed to echo the maze like structure of the mansion in RE1 but we'll see I guess. Meanwhile, if I want a decent scare, I just grabbed Alien:Isolation for Xbone and plan on trying Dead Space 2 after that.

The Silent Hill games are pretty great and did a wonderful job of freaking me right the gently caress out. Probably more so than the RE series if we're just talking about simply being scared and feeling weird about poo poo. I love scary games and have to give it to the SH series more than RE for just making me feel uneasy. I love both series but SH is way more unsettling and spooky.

I liked RE3 and the remake but it's biggest problem is simply the lack of an addiction factor. I enjoyed feeling more powerful and having environmental things to use in 3 but it just doesn't call to you to replay it the way 2 did. When 2 came out, I couldn't wait to get home from work and fire that bitch up. When I completed a run, I couldn't wait to immediately start a new one. With 3, I think I played it twice and then never really got back to it. All RE3make had to do was create a few alternate routes, add some crossover with Jill and Carlos in terms of items and weapons, maybe randomize some item placement and have it jam you up a little with a maze like structure to block progress in ways that made you plan. It's been said to death but it really IS too linear and all it offers for replays are items and weapons that just speed up the EXACT SAME run. There's no real thought given to how you can change up your strategy on a replay in terms of what to do first, carry/drop or what to avoid to save ammo since ammo is everywhere. The shop is interesting and I had fun loving poo poo up on run #2 but after that, the only thing baiting you to play again is just more poo poo from the store. You're still looking at basically the same path minus the areas that need the bolt cutters and lockpick. Conversely, with RE2 I did two complete A/B, B/A runs with each character (so that's 8 runs, not counting the DLC) and really felt like I was learning more every time I played.

Anonymous Robot posted:The reason I was thinking it might be an open campaign was because some of the earliest leaked materials were, if I remember correctly, a map of Raccoon City that implied that you could plot your own route. That would have added a lot. The (remake) game needs something like that. A Buttery Pastry posted:RE3 would have been the perfect game for that kind of gameplay too, since the story is centered around Jill and Nemesis, not any location more specific than Raccoon City itself. Like, any game set in the city with Nemesis chasing Jill would be an RE3 in my book, even if the only commonality between them otherwise was the game starting in/around Jill's apartment. ^^^What that dude said^^^

And this is coming from someone who liked it.

I don't remember what everyone really hated about CV. I recall having fun with it but it's been forever and only thing I remember from it is the spider under the ice. Beyond that, I don't remember a god damned thing about that game except for having fun with it at the time. Could also be that I was one of the few dummies who bought a Sega Saturn and was just psyched to have a new game to play that wasn't Virtual FIghter, NFL 2k or Crazy Taxi.

So do we know for sure one way or the other if RE8 is coming to PS4 or Xbone? I've heard different things both ways. I can't imagine we're living in a world where the new consoles will fly off the shelves since most everyone I know is broke as poo poo but what to do I know? People still camp out at midnight to buy new iphones every year. But I'd think that Capcom would want to move as many copies as possible and the current gen has a lot of systems out there.

Man, I really hope RE8 comes out on Xbone/PS4. Kind of jonesing for a new horror game and, of course, love the series. I fired up Alien: Isolation to get a good scare and got my son hooked on it and am about to replay EW2, which I only played once and remember loving to death since he's curious about that too. What I'd really like is a new Fatal Frame game. Apparently there's one for the Wii, which seems like it'd be fun with that control scheme but I can't find it on Amazon. What's the best of the on rails Wii RE shooter games? I see 2.

So holy poo poo I fired up EW2 for the first time in 4 years and honestly had forgotten everything about it beyond remembering it was awesome. And I can confirm that it is in fact awesome. I only beat it the one time and had a NG+ option but my kid wanted to see it so I just started a fresh game. I LOVE the open world town part of it and wish that RE3 had taken a page out of this approach. OPen world games are usually too time consuming and overwhelming for me but this game is masterful at creating the illusion of open world but cleverly restricting your map. Really glad I loaded this one back up but honestly forgot some of the more graphic and intense parts so I'm a little hesitant to expose my 10 year old son to some of it. The mother force feeding his dead kid spooked him pretty good (me as well) so we'll have to see if I'm brushing up too close age appropriateness here.

Holy poo poo, Evil Within 2 kicks rear end. I forgot how great it was and after loving around on a brand new game through around Chapter 3 I loaded up NG+ and got some satisfaction finally wrecking some motherfuckers instead of hiding all the time. I LOVE the open game approach that's not linear but just the right size. It never feels overwhelming and manages to come off free and open even though it's really not. I'd forgotten just enough about it after 3 or 4 years to make it fun again Also, I don't think I've ever seen a good RE movie.

RE3make was good and fun. It just lacked that addictive quality that made RE2 so compelling and, like everyone has said, was way too linear. I think I ran through it 2x and started a 3rd then that was enough but RE2 just kept pulling me back in. Every replay of RE3 was exactly the same it felt, only with more items. RE3 also never had me panicking to find ammo or health so it was less survival horror and more of an action game, which was a fun and a little cathartic being able to actually gently caress poo poo up after 20 hours of shooting zombies in the knees, running and memorizing routes in RE2 but the game just doesn't call out to you to play it more after the first run. I recently fired up EW2 again and that's been hitting the sweet spot for me, reminding me of how much better re3 would have been with slightly more varied open city parts and different ways to do things.

site posted:Umbrella chronicles is the good one OK, so I took your advice and grabbed this sucker along with the gun controller thingy and it's good fun but playing on easy I think and.... Jesus Christ. How the gently caress do I kill this scorpion motherfucker only 10 minutes in? None of the dodge prompts seem to work with any consistency, especially the wave the wii one, and gently caress me if I can throw a grenade even though (I think) the game is telling me I have 4 of them. Good lord with this boss fight. If the whole game is this flaky and hard it can get right hosed. EDIT: OK tossed some grenades but the dodge controls are still a bit...well, dodgy.

4 years removed from my first play through and RE7 owns. I can't believe I never figured out how to load enhanced ammo, use the psycho stimulants and BLOCK though. The latter made that nasty loving Jack body bag boss fight so much easier. I must have died 15 times there the first time I played it.
