TerryLennox posted:I'm just finishing the last campaign in RE 6, Ada's. I think I've figured why I dislike the experience I'm having with the game. The one thing that has been pissing me off infinitely, is that they have replaced difficulty with Trial and Error gameplay. Missed a .5 second QTE? Die. Camera angles tricked into running the wrong way and the stage killed you? Idiot. You shot an RPG rocket which explodes and should take out both zombies aiming at you but instead you needed to shoot an almost invisible explosive barrel? Die. The game is basically designed so that you have to go through most sequences at least once so you know what is coming. Thats not difficulty, that is rote memorization. This is retarded and completely detracts from the fun aspect of the game. All I want is shoot zombies, fight a tough boss or two, see the cheesy B-movie plot and fanservice and thats it. I don't want to play Call of Duty/Dance Dance Revolution/Driver in Resident Evil. Also, I hate the skill system. I would have preferred a few abilities that each character would have that are unique to that character so you need to play to a character's strengths. Like Chris is a tank. He should ignore knockback and have strong melee attacks. Leon instead should be able to dual wield most guns and has faster melee but lighter attacks. Sherry has little health but she regenerates if you give her enough time. Jake has wrought iron testicles which he can use to block gunfire. The combat is decent enough, although the controls could be a little tighter. Once you buy Field Medic Lv 2, you are basically set. Seriously? I'm poo poo at video games and I've been playing it on veteran (or whatever the level above normal and before stupid hard is) with a buddy of mine and it's been a pretty standard difficulty level for us. Maybe co-op isn't scaled, but there haven't been many big surprises. Sometimes the QTE or die stuff is a problem, but it's nowhere near as bad as it was in RE5, and we only failed one driving segment a couple times at the end of Chris' campaign. Is Ada's that much worse, or have you been having these troubles the whole way through?

I just beat Jake's campaign in Resident Evil 6 with a buddy of mine, after we've played through Chris and Leon's respective campaigns. Having a boss fight pretty much just be a game of Punch Out! was inspired, as was the boss fight where you get to play as the drill thing from Total Recall. God drat that game is all kinds of silly.

My favorite thing about ORC was reviving your teammates after they'd been dismembered severely and were just a limbless torso. "Get up you pillow of flesh, there are zombies to shoot!"

Klaus Kinski posted:As someone that has spent way too many dollars on steam buying anything labeled "co-op", this is false. There are many games that are not fun with friends, even with lots of alcohol involved. Aliens: Colonial Marines was too lovely to have fun with, even in co-op. RE5 and 6 were ridiculously fun when I played them co-op with a buddy.

Playing through RE6 with a buddy has been one of the most fun gaming experiences I've had in recent years. The game's incredibly silly, has some really stupid big setpieces, and while there are a few parts of the game that do suck, for the most part we've had a ton of fun with it. And chalk me up as a fan of RE 4+5+6. I've only played Umbrella Chronicles and RE1 aside from those three, but RE1's tanky controls trip me up a lot since I didn't play it when it came out.

ORC just felt ugly to me. I didn't like any of the characters, and while it had some cool ideas, they weren't enough to make me really like it that much. It felt like I was playing through bad Resident Evil fan fiction for most of it, and in a franchise where one of the biggest strengths is the plethora of ridiculous characters, it felt comparatively dull to just play as bitter grumpy Umbrella guys.

These Loving Eyes posted:Is it just me or is Revelations actually a bit hard even on normal? I'm trying to S rank my way through the episodes, and now that I'm near the end of episode 7, I've been getting my rear end handed down to me. I'm always either running low on ammo, or, when I try run past ooze monsters, I get attacked so often I run out of herbs too early. Compared to other contemporary action games, the episodes actually take a few tries to get through. While I've enjoyed the game quite much, I hate how stiff the combat feels. The enemies stagger only randomly and the prompted melee attacks are rarely a viable option. Added to that, the dodge mechanic is a bit dodgy (no pun intended), so it is hard to try to conserve bullets and run past monsters. I died probably four times in the entire game, and they were all against bosses or boss-like characters with instant kill attacks. I used grenades judiciously and scanned everything everywhere all the time. It might be harder than a lot of run and gun games, but it's not that difficult. Similarly, I beat Resident Evil 4 twice when it came out on Gamecube without dying once, and playing it now I've died twice in the same area. I feel like I've ruined my spotless record or something.

Anonymous Robot posted:Man, I have a decent PC, but for some reason RE4 HD runs like poo poo. I have to set it to 30FPS lock or I get super slowdown. I just put together a really kickass PC and it's been running smooth as butter, until today. I was doing the shooting gallery and a bunch of doves started flying out and my game slowed to a crawl before jumping back up to a smooth framerate. They just looked like animated textures and not 3D models so I don't know what the gently caress.

Anonymous Robot posted:Early in Leon's campaign is pretty much a sample of what we could have had with a remake of RE2 (hopefully without all the QTEs and heavily scripted segments though). The section with the other survivors was really cool and could have been amazing if it were more dynamic. Imagine what an incentive to play well it would be if you could get everyone out alive!

I just played through RE4 HD. I hadn't played it since it first dropped on the Gamecube, and while I remember liking it a lot, I don't remember it being THIS good. I'd have to say it's easily in my top 10 games of all time now that I've really gotten to play it again. It's just so well designed and it plays so well. I also played through Assignment Ada and Separate Ways - what are the general opinions of those? Separate Ways was pretty good, aside from a few moments of frustration here and there, although it never felt quite as good as RE4's main campaign. It was just really obvious they were reusing environments (which I don't fault Capcom for, it's just a side story) and it gave me more money than I knew what to do with. I found Assignment Ada to be a (mercifully short) slog though. I don't know if it just wasn't as well designed or I was just really getting tired of the same environments, but I really didn't have much fun with it. It was really predictable (enter room, kill 2 guys, grab Thing, 10 guys with shields come in and one minigun guy) and 99% of it was just me spraying everything with the TMP. I wasn't thrilled to fight Krauser again either. I like Ada and her persistent smugness too, I just didn't enjoy the sidestories as much as the main game. RE4 still absolutely rules though.
