I'm one of the people who didn't get into RE until 4. I don't disagree that RE4 was a lot more action-oriented and gonzo, maybe too much so, but being able to aim your gun and do stuff besides shoot was just so much more engaging. But I didn't keep playing RE games after that because RE5's mandatory buddy system turned me all the way off.

I liked the weapon crafting in Outbreak, but I'd like to see a game where it's a fundamental component and not one character's gimmick.

As someone whose favourite thing about RE4 gameplay was the contextual melee stuff, should I play RE6?

The thing is, while Mercenaries mode was fun for awhile, I'm not big into Time Attack stuff. I have a terrible sense of direction in real life and in games, and I'm more the "Insist on killing every enemy in the level as efficiently as possible" type.

The sidestories in RE4 were interesting if only because it showed you how much poo poo she was doing behind the scenes.

That's a bad gimmick anyway. Between Reborn, Rebirth, Revelation, Revolution, Revenge, and Reloaded, they have plenty of stock subtitles to use.

I'm fine with game remakes in a way that I'm not with films and other things; I think there's a much stronger argument that newer technology makes it worth doing. I don't have a problem with film remakes per se; the problem is that they rarely remake, like, a poorly-executed film with a great premise.

I've never been a RE superfan, but I got really into the 4th one. Then I didn't play any of them until RE7, which I'm playing right now. (I'm in the ruined ship.) There are never enough shotgun shells, and the flamethrower doesn't seem to be very useful outside of the Old House. I'll probably play RE6 at some point because I like that style of gameplay relative to the older games.

That was always my main takeaway from Umbrella Chronicles. Why are they squandering this amazing technology to create Tyrants? They're using an amazing thing to make a lovely thing. The real question is: what would you even do with the money after you sell a bioweapon that's going to collapse global civilization and make money valueless?

Sanctum posted:Yeah, either I've lost interest in the genre or this game just ain't tickling my fancy. I carefully replayed some sections avoiding any damage and only going for headshots, and it really wasn't necessary. The only thing you should be stingy with is shotgun shells since it's the most effective weapon in the game and a headshot will take down standard Molded.

All you need to "magically" appear anywhere in the Salazar domain is the ability to hop a meter-tall fence and walk around. It's not like any of the ganados move fast enough to chase down someone lazily walking their dog.

The science in RE is ridiculous, of course, but this is the kind of stuff I get hung up on when I read the Lore. Wesker is a prodigy who earned his doctorate at 17, joined the US Army at 31, and left as soon as his contract was up to join a special private security force operating under the supervision of the police department of a mid-sized city in ¿Missouri? I can kinda buy it, but at the very least, the other members of STARS should have known that their unit was incredibly shady and spooked up.

Flesnolk posted:I like how the vampire daughters will yell at you to stop blocking if you keep tanking their attacks. "Put your hands down!!!" like a kid angry he's losing at a fighting game lol I like how RE7 made me use the block command at the end, which I had like never used up to that point. By the way, why is every rival organization in this series called something like "The Organization" or "The Connections?" They couldn't even come up with something as generic-specific as "Umbrella Corporation?" Halloween Jack fucked around with this message at 14:35 on May 21, 2021 |

PantsBandit posted:The concept of blocking in RE7 and 8 never seemed intuitive to me bc I don't understand how taking a scythe to the arm is a more effective tact than running the f away. I played Silent Hill 1-3 back when people were still arguing over whether RE4 ruined the series and wasn't horror. I thought that SH2 had the best story, SH3 had the best gameplay, and SH1 had such bad gameplay it kinda ruined it for me. Friends who disagreed with me sometimes said flat-out that good gameplay isn't compatible with horror. What's the right balance? Or, like, the right way to do it? I agree that RE7's first-person perspective and basically normal protagonist make it much more of a horror game than RE4-6. At the same time, while I'm not asking for taekwondo and pro wrestling moves, it would feel more real if you could, like, grab Jack by the collar and stab him repeatedly. Looking back, I think the most satisfying boss fights were the fights with Jack in the garage and the killing floor.

Doomykins posted:1) How powerful is the player? A lot of people stop having fear as soon as they get a weapon and view the enemy as defeatable. RE8 does really nicely for a long time in making ammo feel scarce. RE2 wasn't terribly complicated to overpower directly with the ammo offered but Mr X became legend(he's a pretty rote ammo dump when you're experienced) and Birkin might be the scariest single monster in the series. RE3 technically let you defeat everything you saw smoothly if you could dodge well enough but Nemesis might be the most well known meme(and fear) in the series. Even RE4 had sheer intimidation factor a lot of the time. With RE4, the predictability of the RE formula actually made it more effective. Yes, there are random ammo drops, but I was always anticipating another long meatgrinder sequence that would chew up a lot of ammo. Kite Pride Worldwide posted:Blocking is actually an incredibly simple and binary "are your arms up? If so take ~50-70% less damage". I think the real problem is more with the presentation of it; the way Ethan timidly raises his hands up doesn't really give the impression that it's a meaningful defensive mechanic. If he did like, a more confident crossed-arms sort of stance, I think it would come off a lot more convincingly.

BiggerBoat posted:- Harsh but not overwhelming odds with fair gameplay (EW1 and its instakills can gently caress off) Are EW1/2 worth playing? They look like the kind of stealth action horror gameplay I like. But just having watched clips of it, it seems like they don't do much with the virtual reality setting. It's just an excuse to have weird Silent Hill enemies without explaining why mad scientists would wrap a psychiatric ward patient in barbed wire and give them a chainsaw. Control Volume posted:Blocking felt necessary for the first daughter fight and I thought it was meant to be the practical tutorial showing that you can block knives with your powerful RE-protagonist arms. Now I do it automatically when trying to strafe around attacks since it doesnt slow me down anyways.
