Dude is constantly aura farming in this one :lollipop_grinning_sweat:
He is a boring character with his marvel super hero mentality "i have to save everyone" and i find this boring as hell.

Also he saying that didnt shoot any of Emily vitals, when i clearly shoot her with a shotgun 6 times in the heart was the nail in the coffin for me.

And finally he not destroying the G sample in RE2 as soon as he got his hand on it was fucking stupid and that was where i started to hate the guy. He just saw first hand what that shit did to RC and he want to deliver directly to USA gov ? Peak moronic.

I personally prefer chris but i don't exactly hate leon :lollipop_grinning_sweat:

They are all kinda stereotypical good guys at the end of the day.

I doubt anyone could list 5 qualities that distinguish claire from jill or chris from leon, they are not exactly deep characters.

I just started yesterday and I'm loving it so far, I just wish they wouldn't jump back and forth between Grace and Leon so frequently. I feel like just when I'm getting into a groove with one, they swap to the other.

Is there no dodge option with Grace?
 
I fucking love Leon and I'm so glad my GOAT survived the game. Not only that, but he took out Mr. X and a perfected Nemesis? And he turned HUNK into fodder? Holy LMAO he's GOATed.

dude FUCK the beginning of raccoon city, especially with this level of fidelity. Holy fuck

Yeah, this was the scariest part of the game to me due to my phobia. I loved every second, but you better believe I unloaded my Requiem.

Capcom would never put Leon to shoot a main character 6 times in cold blood in front of her hunsband and then proceds to kidnap his daugther, that i guarantee you. Also if Leon is more as a marvel super hero as i said, Chris is more like a DC anti hero imo, dude ll do the job no matter how gray it is.

I guess we're cool already with posting pics of everything? It hasn't even been a fucking week lol

Anyway, I'm one of the few that has enjoyed the entire package. I'm loving this Leon in RC segment (yes, even gathering the detonators). It's just so fucking rad to return to this bombed out, tomb of a city that I could only picture in my head back in the early 00s.

Bonus Wet Haired Leon in the sewers looked fantastic. Great effects.

He took a dark turn in re8 but until 6 he was still kinda of a good, stoic character.

I think that scene in re8 was more for shock factor than real characterization tbh but maybe i'm wrong.

Maybe, but i would love to see bad ending canon, just to see Chris and Jill toghether going after not Wesker. its no all cause i cant stand the guy.

That's that. I did both endings. I was glad i got the option to choose to restart immediately before the choice. Imo the first half of the game is better than the second, but overall I really enjoyed my time with it.

Yeah, there's a reason the remakes have been skirting around those enemies. Bold to use it here. I thought it was awesome, my gf couldn't even watch the fight.
 
On this first playthrough (I'm nearing the end of Leon's detonator parts segment), the distinct changes in gameplay have all been a treat:


Opening with classic RE7-style gameplay and then switching over to RE6-style pure action cinema, and back and forth a few times.

Then we get mini-The Last of Us Part 3/Evil Within 2 with Leon in RC.

I don't know what comes next, and I want to be surprised.


I do wonder how it'll hold up on replays, since part of the joy is being surprised at what comes next, but so far, I really dig what they've done.

I just completed the game and man that was great. My question is how do I start NG+? I don't see it as an option on new game or loading.
 
Just entered
the ARK
, which I suppose is the last segment of the game, given how few locked challenges I have so far.

Unless they absolutely fuck up the landing, this is one of the best RE games I've ever played. I don't think I've ever been so immersed and pumped in a RE game that wasn't a remake. I haven't felt so invested in a new RE game since Code Veronica.

If I have a complaint so far, is that while the bestiary is not as constrained as I thought, lots of interesting enemy types are basically used for 'this one encounter' instead of recurring enemies. I would've loved it if I had encountered
giant spiders and zombie worgs
more often instead of just once.

Oh - and, do we know if that was
actually Mr. X or just a duplicate? The game calls him 'Super Tyrant', but I'm not sure if he's actually Mr. X.

Oh do I have bad news for you.

He died in RE2, this is a different one, they are just weapons to be sold and we even see the price for it in the ARK (120 million I believe)

These are terrible pics from my cell phone on a crap work monitor but is this happening to anyone else? The straps of any gun with one is doing this. It's really annoying on the PS5 Pro version of the game. Haven't seen this on PC so far.

Yeah, keeps happening to me. Super elongated straps. lol

There isn't one. You don't carry over all your stuff. But you can buy weapons. I don't know why they did it like this.
 
Just dropped to say game is terrific. One of those games you can't wait to go back home to play it again.
just severed the hand of The Girl
10 hours in. Classic difficulty. I am slow as shit.
Will post some final thoughts after I wrap it up.

was that actually Hunk tho? They call him The Commander"
 
I just finished the
motorbike highway segment
and HOLY SHIT! I don't think I've ever had this adrenaline surge in RE action horror segments ever before - so fucking good!! And those cinematic shots of
Raccoon City as you jump high on the sky in slow motion?
SO FUCKING GOOD!!

I didn't care for this. I don't really need uncharted set pieces in my resident evil. Also what are these goofy dogs. Their dogs have been goofy looking after RE2.
 
I heard a dude on ree saying that rec 709 looks much better than srgb...

What are you people on oled tv using?

Edit: nevermind, rec709 is only better with old tvs.

I'm almost done with my first playthrough, man what a fantastic game.

For its up there with RE, RE2 and RE4 as my favourite RE game.
 
I wish bad ending was canon, i cant stand Leon.
I have nothing against Leon, but Capcom needs to make a smooth transition of protagonists. He and Chris need to become mentor figures and don't get killed, simple as that. But knowing Capcom, they will keep pushing the old carries until they can't anymore.

I mean when the new characters are charisma vacuum like the protagonist of 7 and 8 or this new chick, there is not much blood to squeeze...
 
First zombie in the game has his head impaled and is still going strong, what would slicing his throat accomplish?
You really think they did that for the sake of the logic 😆. There is less sense alsi to make them vulnerable to some bullets if even their head empaled can't stop them. They surely could handle better the stealth kill mechanics in this game and make it more fun to use. I encountered different moment where you are stuck with many zombies and you can go forward just with trail and error attempts.

You'll only get a headache if you try and make Resident Evil make 100% sense. At some point you gotta let go. I can understand if you're young, but if you're over 30 you gotta take it as it comes.
 
basement
somehow I've lost one of the three joint plugs, but I know I collected them all... I'm a little bit frustrated and confused. Gonna take a break.

ok be careful there is a bug and you can fuck yourself

there is a plug you left back by the second forklift... if you lock yourself out by removing the plug before it, you can't get back to the plug by the forklift... you might have to insert the two plugs at the end to cause this bug... but even if you take them back out, it won't let you put one in to go get the seconf one by the forklift

I had to find a save game, luckily, I had one or I'd be kind of fucked.

O.O I just said the Grace gameplay can be really annoying and frustrating because the stealth mechanic could be handled a lot better. I push my patience to ending such part because the "hide and seek mode" doesn't work very well in some spots.

c'mon Ethan is a good guy, sure he doesnt have a face, but he is far from been those silent protagonists like Dead Space Isaac in the original DS games.

Dude have balls of steel for coming to that place to look for his dead wife and he even become a better character in 8, by the end he even sacrifice himself to save his daughter, dude was the ultimate hero, all this being a fucking civilian, dude was the most human character to ever been a protagonist in a RE game and thats why i like him.

Sorry i didn't liked him other than the amount of damage he take which was pretty funny.

But i don't like re7 and 8 that much so i'm biased.
