Somehow this is not Will Forte
Somehow this is not Will Forte
Thought I did a pretty thorough exploration in my first time but kept discovering new areas and secrets on playthrough #2.
Did playthrough #2 of RE9 this past week and yeah, feeling confident in this placement. What a game.
miss you kid
Monk is still the best way to play D3 imo but this is a close second
Iβve melted every major boss in less than 5 seconds since I got it. Itβs so much fun.
Finally did a Wizard playthrough in Diablo 3 (the only class I hadn't played yet over the year). And my god, the Disintegrate spell
Today I Will Look The Burrito Man In The Eye and other stories of manifesting success
Devil May Cry 2?
It was very impressiveβ¦fourβ¦.fourteen years ago somehow
I know itβs been ported to every system under the sun at high visual fidelity and performance now but Iβm still in awe of RE: Revelations being a *3DS* game youtu.be/InwHh5XqYLo?...
Capcom still doesnβt seem to know what to do with Claire narrative/arc-wise tho.
Revisiting Revelations 2. I know RE7 gets credit as the start of the comeback tour but I think this one doesnβt get the love it deserves. Great Manhunt/Saw atmosphere with some clever AI partner mechanics that are enjoyable when they easily could have been annoying.
The light switch-obsessed zombie became my personal nemesis more than anyone else in that game lol. I lost so much health to him early on while figuring out how to play as grace.
Rented D(e)ad, the new supernatural-tinged dramedy featuring some of the Dropout crew. Extremely funny and moving. youtu.be/4dOqK_XcPY4?...
Meticulously creating that whole vibe and going SIKE is dumb even if your goal to poke the audience.
I fully believe thereβs supernatural things at the edge of season 1 at the very least. Any attempts by the show itself to deny it feels very The Lady Doth Protest Too Much imo
FWIW, felt the same way initially but the payoff was worth it and made the arc even more enjoyable on rewatch.
Only real gripe with RE9 is none of Leonβs cheesy one-liners top this one
Itβs definitely the one that bravely commits to the bit the most, friction and all. Love it for that
Thatβs fair. Maybe if I had spent more time with NG+ I would have found the fun
Feels like parrying has βreplacedβ that but agreed. Itβd be nice to have another mobility option as a quick escape.
My issue with it isnβt that it isnβt like RE2. I donβt begrudge sequels doing something else by any means but I found it be the opposite of the thrill ride I think itβs trying to be. The action is dull and the few puzzles there are pretty uninteresting.
People rag on 6 but at least that game is constantly swinging for the fences in bizarrely entertaining ways
RE3 Remake is probably the only Resident Evil (of the ones I've played) I'd consider a "bad" game in that its virtues are so heavily outweighed by its flaws, it's hard for me to recommend to anyone. I've played it twice and was so deeply bored each time.
That's RE9 wrapped. Incredible game. Guessing it fits here for me:
RE2R
RE4/RE4R
RE9
RER
RE7
RERev 1+2
RE8
RE5
RE6
RE3R
I love RE9 for a lot of reasons. One of them is that it proves that the conceit of 6 - that you can have both the scary bits and the action bits live alongside each other - wasnβt a mistake. Just needed a more considered and faithful execution.
All Iβve done today is play Diablo 2 and RE9 while eating pizza and guzzling coffee. Not a minute misspent.
As is, this is just reason to be concerned for the adaptation or ammo to dislike it if you're someone who's already made up their mind to do so.
