Resident Evil Community |OT| Got some rare things on sale, stranger!

Leon sure, but Claire I strongly disagree. It only clearly Claire because who else would it be.
Overall it's a good game, but there are things the Devs tried that just suck, and some things drag on far too long.
Also it not much of a co-op experience compared to RE5, it is notably several steps backwards in that area.
One thing I did hate about RE6 though is the AI partner doesnt pick up any items, when in the caves there was a bunch of valuable drops yet she wouldn't pick em up, I was like; come on.
Sheva was a good girl that way, she picked up everything.

I actually love Chris' campaign in 6,
my only gameplay issue with 6 is the inventory/items.
I hated being set with specific default stuff the entire game, i realy missed the RE4,5 style of either finding better variants or buying them in a shop.

RE6 has cool mechanics but aside from that, it's pretty mediocre. UI/Inventory is a mess, the level design is bad, movement/aiming seems wonky (until you upgrade?), enemy hit reactions are poor (compare RE6 melee to the satisfying ones in RE4/RE5).
I won't say it has no redeeming qualities, but yeah lol. I've tried to play it on 3 different occasions and stopped a couple hours in each time.

This is one point I can't agree with. The melee in RE6 is very satisfying. Whether it's throwing enemies over your head into a crowd of others or countering to do huge amounts of damage.
The melee itself is very satisfying in RE6. I will give you that the setups for contextual melee aren't as easily seen as RE4/RE5 where an enemy over exaggerates when stunned.
These days. You'll mainly see the character interactions, melee, and gameplay mechanics being praised.
The enemy design is one of the best, most diverse among TPS games, and their attacks are very well telegraphed. Considering how many enemy types exist in RE6, it's a miracle how well animated they are; there are games with only 4 enemy types whose attacks are poorly telegraphed. The real-time inventory is more convenient than the one in RE5 and the level design is only a problem when there are too many gun-toting enemies in small rooms. How are the hit reactions poor?
Man, it's been so long since I've played RE6. I need to get it for PS4 next time it's on sale.
Nah, you find a note he left that he left for Umbrella's Europe headquarters before you get there. I doubt he'll show up in the remake.

Only time Chris was in RE2
Speaking of which, the RE7 Chris Actor said we'd see something RE related (I think) in September which I am assuming he is in. Wonder what that could be.

I was thinking if they said they're going to include HUNK and Tofu making Chris playable in a bonus mode doesn't seem to far fetched.
I done did it. This is the second time I've ever completed Resident Evil 3, and the first time on Hard Mode.
I forgot so much of it that it felt super fresh, I was always reluctant to play 3 because of how scared I am of Nemesis. I mostly remembered stuff from my brothers playthroughs I used to watch as a kid but a lot of it was a blur. They picked a lot of different live selections than me.
I saved 24 times because holy fuck I was paranoid Nemesis was gonna wreck me up around every corner. He was EXTREMELY persistent in some areas to the point where I'm surprised I didn't suffer a heart attack.
I don't know if I could do a RE3make... I'd probably die.
At most i'd expect RE7 Chris.
Though thankfully Chris' S.T.A.R.S. outfit would be incredibly easy to assemble for scanning if they wanted to and wouldn't need updating like Leon's.
hey resident evil peeps,
simple question that i glazed over. does remake 2 have tank controls ala re4?

I read one set of impressions, I forget which, that mentioned you could switch to an RE4 style method but I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else so I wouldn't take that as evidence.
Making a post here so I can add this thread to my watch list and go through the pages when I have time. So far I've been posting all my RE thoughts in my "playing the games for the first time" thread but I need more people to gush over REmake 2 with.
I'm playing though 6 again atm for whatever reason and am on the second part of journey following sherry and Jake.
6 is not a good game, Now it has fun mechanics that can be brought forth and used thanks to mercenaries but the pacing of 6 is awful. I just got done with this snow area where if you get shot you slide all the way down, not too mention the crappy speed bike set piece that follows.
And the QTE's...

I can agree on that. He's the best VA in the series and is Chris. It cut me deep when that other dude started talking in re7.
Congrats! I might fire this up on my psp or vita in a bit.
I both agree and disagree. There are levels that are awful, like Sherry chapter 2, where it's gimmick (snow blizzard), after gimmick (snow mobile chase), after gimmick (stealth section). And the whole level is tiresome - I don't remember a single good section in the chapter.
However, there are also levels that actually has nice pacing. In Sherry chapter 1 you are constantly going through a roller coaster of fast combat scenario (either in linear corridors or more open spaces) and slow moments, where the game gives you a time to breath, calm down and fill up resources. My only issue with this chapter is that it throws you in right into chaotic combat at the very beginning, where aside from fighting J'avos, you also have to look out for BSAA helicopters.

You can turn off the Insta-death QTEs and turn on QTE assists if you really don't wanna waffle sticks and such.
that's exciting! hearing about the option of re4 controls.
I'm not a fan of RE6 melee. It's like there isn't any impact or weight behind hits. Also do not like a lot of the attacks aren't even hits and are flips and holds.

Yooo that would be sick. Always wanted to play those games.
The timing makes sense, they haven't released an RE game this year and it would help fill the gap between now and RE2

It's been like that for a while. Both that RE2 changed to OK in September 2017
Also Resident Evil Outbreak is one of my favourite online games ever, playing them with friends is incredible and I'd scream my little gay heart out if RE Outbreak #1 + #2 HD happened.
I agree that there's some bits to like. Leon escaping tall oaks is ok and Chris fighting the snake was somewhat fun. But there's so much mess and junk in between it.
I do enjoy a lot of the cutscenes because there's just so much fan-service going on and I'm ok with that.
Yeah, I know. I remember on the first go around you couldn't though. I want to say it was patched in or something.
The game really needed some extra time, playtests and a person who could say "hey, fix it or cut that shit out". As someone in the RE6 OT back on NeoGAF said, the game's highs are very high, but the lows are extremely low. It's so uneven.
I still can't believe how something like that car chase in Chris' scenario made it to the final game. That part is ugly, clunky, not funny at all, very frustrating due to how easy it is to fail the chase and it drags for so long. I can't believe there wasn't anyone at the dev team who realized how bad it is.
RE6 had a development staff of 600 people and it showed. It was so bloated with unpolished content.
I got RE 7 on Black Friday and have been working my way through most of the series to catch up. I've played most of the mainline series but I forgot some and skipped others. Within the past 6 months I played:
RE2: Claire A, Leon B. When I originally played this game I did Leon A and no B route at all, I went straight to RE3 afterwards. I remembered absolutely nothing from RE2 and I'm glad I finally went back. Not only is it excellent but now I can appreciate the upcoming remake properly. Small chance I'll do Leon A, Claire B. I'd like to but I've got a stack of other games that require my attention
RE3: Solid, but not great. Definitely the weakest of the 3. Unlike RE2 I did remember this one. Not sure what wrong turn I took but I did not get the Barry ending, dammit!
CVX: Hated most of it. It's not complete trash but man, what a slog. I loved the terrible acting though
RE Gaiden: I had a 6 hour flight so I tried to knock this out. It's not as bad as I was expecting, if I had this game during the GBC days I would have been all about it. I did not manage ammo well enough for the end boss though. If you haven't played it, the way most boss fights work is that you have to shoot the enemy and stagger them backwards. Knife is viable face to face but when they stagger back, you can't reach them anymore. I literally ran out of all types of ammo so I couldn't keep pushing the boss, there was nothing I could do. I went back a save and used a guide to find ammo but it still wasn't enough. I wish I could have beaten it but the game is not good enough to make me want to start over, I watched the last 10 min on youtube instead. I hope this doesn't turn into a white whale years from now.
RE Zero: I just finished this for the first time 2 days ago. I loved it! There are valid complaints, like the inventory system and I thought the game was longer than it needed to be (I would have been good after the lab, no factory) but besides that stuff, I really loved it. Question, I'm really impressed by the mirror and window reflections. I played the PS4 HD Remaster, where those reflections in the original gamecube version?
So that's where I am now. I stagger the RE games with non-RE games to avoid fatigue so I'm off to some other game. When I'm back, it's finally going to be RE7 time! I recently decided to play Umbrella and Darkside Chronicles as well but I'm not sure how to fit them into the lineup from here. Maybe UC. 7, DC? Since they're on rails shooters I don't think I'll need to worry about RE fatigue.
In case you're wondering what happened to the other mainline schedule:
I remember RE 1 and have beaten it twice with Jill. I want to do a Chris run but that's not high on my priority list
I've beaten RE 4 I think 3x. I remember it well
I don't remember 5 other than it being bad. I should play it but I have the PS3 version and my PS3 is busted
I played 6 co-op recently, I remember it

It isn't long at all. Like maybe 3-4 hours your first time through? Maybe even shorter than that.
The entire game is less than maybe 6-7 hours long.

I've just started Resident Evil 7 on PC, exactly how dark is this game supposed to be? I've had a bunch of issues getting HDR to work (and have now disabled it entirely) so I don't know if the lighting in general is just completely messed up on PC but this game seems way too dark even for a horror game. I've got the brightness set like the game says (not visible/barely visible) and if anything I have my TV settings set slightly brighter than normal, so if it was my TV I think I'd be having the opposite problem.
Is this game just generally meant to be really dark or do I need to crank up the brightness?

What is up with the lack of Resident Evil toys? There's the NECA line which is old plus I never liked NECA designs anyway and then there's the Hot Toys line which is too high end. Even some simple gashapon would work fine for my computer desk. I hate Funko Pops but they have alternative lines which aren't bad, like the Pint Size Heroes and Mystery Minis. I know they work with Capcom too because there's Mega Man and Street Fighter Pint Size heroes. Where da Resident Evil ones at?
It's been a total nightmare for me. When I turn it on it changes from full screen to borderless, then tells me that you need to be in fullscreen to use HDR but when I change it back I lose video (can still hear the audio though), so I turn off HDR and set it back to FS, enable HDR again and it just repeats. Thinking this might be a problem with my PC though because the same thing happens (losing video, audio still playing) when I try to use HDR in Hitman.
Still think the game is too dark. I guess it's realistic but I literally can't see what the hell I'm doing in places.
You get the Barry ending when you let Nicholai escape in the helicopter / destroy the helicopter in a boss fight. To do so, you have to jump off the bridge leading to the Dead Factory.
