Finished Resident Evil Requiem, I think this is a potential top 5 RE game, I can at least for sure say I liked it more than 7 and 8, not really much to complain about, it's just a really solid, good game.
Jumping ahead a bit because I wanted to get to this before spoilers inevitably become unavoidable (and I can't imagine the RE4 remake would be necessary for context for the story here that OG RE4 wouldn't cover already)
I'm considering going slightly out of order here, RE4 remake is up next and if the original is any indication that game will be slightly on the longer side and I'd like to get to Requiem before spoilers become unavoidable so I might jump ahead and do RE4R afterwards.
Resident Evil Village done, thought this one was pretty good, at least on par with, if not a better than 7 I would say, at least when it comes to the first playthrough, I get the feeling 7 will probably be a better game to replay.
Saw a YouTube video that genuinely unironically censored the word "sexism" which I think officially takes the cake for the most bizarre and pointless censorship I've ever seen lol.
Only 3 games left, in the final stretch now, after this game I'll have finally played all 4 games I bought when I first got my PS5 (the others being Miles Morales, Rift Apart, and Sackboy), and it only took me nearly 5 years to do so lol

And that's that, I think for the most part, yeah I get the sentiment, this is still very much a good game, but as a remake it's not great and could've been much better, definitely prefer the original in this case.
Well it's finally time to find out if the Resident Evil 3 remake is actually as disappointing as everyone says it was.
And that's the second playthrough done, whether I can say it's better than the original RE2 I don't know but I enjoyed coming back to it just as much if not more now that I've familiarized myself with the series more.
May have just binged the whole first playthrough only taking a few breaks in between, yeah I think it's probably safe to say the game is as good as I remembered.
Anyone else who plays this on a base PS5, don't bother with the ray tracing mode, used it up to when you get to the RPD and turned it off because the trade off in stable performance is not worth the very minor visual improvement you get.
Resident Evil 2 remake is up next, which means I've officially made it to the one game in this series I had actually played start to finish before doing this, I'm curious what my opinion on it now will be after now having the full context for where the series was at this point.
I'm a newcomer who's been going through the series in release order, so far Zero has been the only one I decided to put down and skip to the next one because my first impressions were not great.
I will say this is easily the game in the series that's the most straight up horror, even more so than the original trilogy, I could see that being a positive or a negative depending on who you ask, but I think after 5 and especially 6 it was the right call for this game.
And that's Resident Evil 7 done, wouldn't say this is my favorite game in the series, but it's for sure better than 5 and 6, might even go so far as to place it slightly above RE3.
I'm willing to acknowledge I may very well have just missed a super obvious clue but I genuinely have no idea how I was actually supposed to figure this out without just trying every combination until one works (this was after about 5-10 minutes).
Me when my dad actually comes home from getting milk.
I've officially made it to the current era of Resident Evil, if my memory is correct this was among the first games in the series I picked up but it took me until now to finally get to it (this copy was still sealed until like 30 minutes ago)
And that's Resident Evil Revelations 2 done, mostly positive but somewhat mixed feelings on this one, I'd say this is better than Code Veronica and probably 5 as well, but definitely not as good as Revelations 1, don't really feel like doing the extra episodes honestly.
At the end of the day, I don't want more if they feel like they don't want to do more, I'd rather a show end while it's still good instead of becoming another Simpsons or SpongeBob where it's a shell of its former self and just won't fucking end.
As disappointing as Smiling Friends ending is, we got 3 really good seasons without a single bad or even less than good episode (unless the last two episodes change that which I doubt), and it's nice when a show ends because the creators actually want it to instead of the network just canceling it.
I don't doubt that happens as well, but in my case I know it disappeared because I've gotten in the habit of waiting a minute then sorting by newest and this comment was 100% gone for at least half an hour.
Checked and I guess the comment came back at some point, still I have no idea why shit like this keeps happening to me and I'm also not sure if this is a thing that's been happening to everyone or not.
Or it could just YouTube's spam comment detection is now even more dogshit than it used to be, which actually now that I think about it that's a very real possibility.
I just made a comment on the most recent Scott's Stash upload comparing Metroid Prime 4 to Skyward Sword, which was on topic to the video, not at all spam, there was nothing that should get it deleted, and like a minute later the comment is gone.
I feel like I must've somehow done something to accidentally get shadowbanned on YouTube, because I swear half the comments I make on videos just disappear for no reason and almost all of my replies to comments disappear for no reason, this has been happening for at least a year.
That and it's an excuse to play something on my Switch 2 since it hasn't gotten a ton of use after Metroid Prime 4 and Yooka-Replaylee in December.
I think for my first playthrough I'm going to play it on Switch 2 (eShop because I still refuse to buy a single game key card) because I'm curious to see how that version holds up, then grab a physical copy for PS5 whenever the "gold edition" with all the DLC included inevitably happens.
