RE: Apocalypse is an awful movie, sure. But it's fun. Same goes for all of them.

Different subject: A friend just pointed out to me that the RE6 logo looks like a woman blowing a giraffe. I will never be able to unsee it now. It's like 2012 olympics logo all over again.

Hate to be the guy who needs it spelled out for him, but...how? I mean, I can see the "giraffe with a backwards head" bit, but where is someone blowing it?

Does anyone know if there was a thread for RE4 when it first came out? A link would be awesome, I've had no luck finding it.

Any good recommendations for a good RE3 LP?

This but with RE2. And if anyone’s wondering the best RE4 LP is Freelance Astronauts all the way.

Edit: the RE4 speed run by LetsGetPitted is good too

What happened to the Freelance Astronauts anyway? Did they just grow up and get jobs? I'm not a fan of LPs at all but I enjoyed them a lot back in the day.

They were how I found SA, their old GTA: Vice City video. And I guess so, I think a few members of the old Doc Roosevelt gang still stream occasionally. It must be weird to grave gotten out of the LP thing just before it went mainstream

While we’re talking about it, the RunButton LP of 7 is...fine

Basically they all moved away from each other and Life made getting together to record a pain.

And speaking of the Roosevelt Crew, I got in touch with Rirse to see about uploading all the old Harry Potter LP stuff. I hope that will happen soon but in the meantime, in case you didn't know, he has a lot of their old content on his channel like Mafia, BloodRayne, True Crime, etc.:
https://www.youtube.com/user/RirseDeBlood

It's so weird to look back at some of these videos, ten years old at the most, and to realize how much things have changed. You won't see an LP nowadays that liberally uses the R-Word, F-word or even the N-bomb at times. It was truly a different era, sorta the Wild West of LP'ing.

Wow I haven’t seen most of that stuff in ages! And I mean you will if you watch a PewDiePie video, heyooooo

RE4 probably doesn’t need a remake, for a game that’s just had its 14th (holy poo poo) birthday, it holds up incredibly well. The graphics could probably use a little help but from what I remember the PS4 release looks pretty solid.

Finally beat Assisted mode for Leon A, just under 6 hours (I am a clown man) and now I’m ready for Claire B. Then I’m gonna do the whole thing again with retro music/costumes.

So far the most satisfying thing is getting the odd head explosion with the first shot from the pistol. On that note, between this and RDR2 I’m happy to see gory destroyable bodies make their return, it’s been too long.

I wish Ada didn't still wear high heels though - in the original when she was posing as the girlfriend of one of the researchers, it made a bit of sense to be dressed up. But posing as an FBI agent attempting to investigate Umbrella? Wear some sensible footwear!

To be fair she’s wearing red-bottoms, they are bloody shoes.

As soon as I got the 9mm from the cop car I left both revolvers in the box. Plus 45 ammunition is super scarce whereas with crafting I have more than enough 9mm since I only use the high powered powder for the Uzi, which has become my primary gun. You all weren’t lying, it absolutely melts legs.

45 ammo replaces all 9mm ammo in the B route, are you talking about Claire's "high powered" (.357 magnum) revolver ammo?

There’s the 357 magnum rounds, the 45 rounds for the Single Action, and the 9mm ammunition that goes in the JMB HP3, though the ammunition might only be available with gunpowder.

Right, but the 45 ammo replaces all of the 9mm pickups in the game, its hardly scarce.

For me it was, instead of picking up 10-20 bullets at a time I was only getting 5-10 bullets if that. Once I got to the point of having twice as much 9mm ammo it just made sense to switch. Especially now that Mr X will no longer be giving it to me, I’m not worried about getting loud :getin:

I have to say, while frustrated with the gunplay, I'm most disappointed in the PG nature of the deaths. poo poo bag just face palmed me to death, show that poo poo. Make it a bonafide Fatality

Nothing so far beats the acid to the face and chainsaw decapitation from RE4 imo, but a chomp from a plant zombie is pretty gruesome

Why would this piss anyone off? No one cared when they changed Claire and Leon's outfits.

She’s dressed in a miniskirt and a tube top, it’s Lara Croft levels of fan service. Remember when the reboot came out and they gave her a more realistic breast size? The dweebs were pissed.

What do you mean "more realistic breast size?" Jill's never been stacked and I don't recall anyone ever moaning about her appearance in REmake, and if anything they made it worse since they introduced boob jiggle in that game and based her looks off an actual model.

That part was about Lara Croft

CJacobs posted:

Leon's suit of RPD Gundam armor stands out in a not good way to me even in the original because he is the only police officer in the entire game who wears it, but can you imagine the rioting that would have happened if he hadn't been wearing it in the remake and instead just had a normal RPD uniform?

It's not that unrealistic for riot gear, it's just a uniform with a thermal underneath, a bulletproof vest, and knee/elbow pads.

I do like that he starts off in 90s-appropriate street clothes.

Did not realize until a scattered rewatch today just HOW MUCH that Resident Evil 2 drew inspiration from Terminator 2, and how well

I would have said the first Terminator more than anything. It’s interesting how much Japanese developers lift wholesale from Hollywood movies when making games set in America (see: the school in Silent Hill being copied from Kindergarten Cop)

Am I crazy or after surviving the lycan attack most of the hand animations give way to the whole coating key in the door thing? It makes it feel a little cheap, honestly. Still enjoying the game though. Definitely one I could see replaying more than 7, which I love but the molded are like my least favorite enemies to fight. Mowing down lycans etc with an infinite upgraded pistol/shotgun is a good time.

I play resident evil games on assisted because I like feeling overpowered.

Except 4, I play that on standard because I’ve played it so many times before.
