I went back and played RE4 and boy I totally forgot about all the QTEs and the Krauser fight. The Krauser fight with the QTE was loving stupid and I seriously hoped they fixed that in the next series. I still have 5 and 6 to play but they both seem like fun.

5 is actually a pretty awesome co-op experience and 6 is... eh. I only had fun in the Leon campaign; Everything else either was boring poo poo or wasn't Resident Evil. But that's just my opinion.

Well, in Resident Evil 6 they patched in an option that just lets you skip QTEs altogether. I haven't experimented with it. I think that's really cool of Capcom though

The death animations really are impressive for the time. The ones involving the lake monster are pretty brutal, they're pretty brutal all around.

Wait are you serious? How could you get killed by acid? I've played the game a few times and I never remember dying like that, or even fighting an enemy with acid attacks.

Also I was really bummed when the chainsaw death animations were censored in every game after 4. Resident Evil 4's chainsaw death animation is still one of the most brutal things I've seen in a game, or at least it was for the time.

I think they're referring to letting the invisible bug creatures Novistadors (I only remember the name because it was obvious they wanted to use invisible but that word is almost identical so they went with bastard Spanish for "no see" to make it sound more foreign) kill you via their acid spit grab attack.

Oh yeah I remember those guys, you fight a ton of them in the sewer area. They weren't really that tough so I must have never got killed by one. I kind of want to replay the game and let myself just get killed by stuff just to see the death animations. I remember doing that for Dead Space at one point.

There were flying enemies that would grab your face and spray acid on it, if you gave them long enough. Leon would fall over and his face would start melting and he'd die. Can't remember if it was an instakill move or if they'd only do it when you were on really low health, though.

They're pathetically easy, drop tons of cash, are only in two areas, and if I remember right you have to be low on health for it to trigger or they just kick off you during the grab so its not something a lot of players saw.

Blowing up their nest and drowning in loot always felt great though.

It actually didn't do too much damage but if it killed you you got the unique death.

But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.
The best death in RE4 is U-3 cutting Leon in half, just because it's so unceremonious. On Pro Mode, if you get hit by U-3's pincer with pretty much anything less than full health, Leon says goodbye to his legs.

I'm still surprised that RE4 got a BBFC 15 rating in the UK, compared to RE5's 18 rating. RE4's death animations are way more brutal.

Does anyone know of the PS1 version of Resi 2 is any good on the Vita? I'm very aware that some games suffer from a lack of L2 and R2 buttons, and it's been so long since i've played it that I can't remember. I don't want to buy and download it, only to find that it's borderline unplayable is all.

Edit: I type good.

I'm surprised they haven't done something like this yet -- a Mercenaries DLC pack that allows you to 'play' through all of RE1, only RE4/5/6 style, so you're going full gattle and boulder-fist on every weak rear end zombie, kicking down every locked door, just bullrushing from the start to the labs in under 5 minutes.

Probably because whatever video compression they used to fit it on the GC discs made it look like rear end.

That actually looks surprisingly good and I'd forgotten how bad the original game's graphics actually were.

It's kind of weird that they went with that name anyway since you only fight the ones that can cloak a single time, and you'll probably kill more of the flying ones which don't have that gimmick.

I just put together a really kickass PC and it's been running smooth as butter, until today. I was doing the shooting gallery and a bunch of doves started flying out and my game slowed to a crawl before jumping back up to a smooth framerate. They just looked like animated textures and not 3D models so I don't know what the gently caress.

I'd play the gently caress out of a Poker Night at the Inventory style poker game starring Chris, Jill, Leon, and Wesker. Add Claire as DLC after Revelations 2 being really pissed off at being pulled into all this bullshit after 15 years.

I've been playing a lot of Resident Evil 2 again. There's bullshit rookie arrange mode where you start out with infinite ammo, easy, and normal mode.

Is there anyway to unlock a hard mode, or an arrange game mode without infinite ammo weapons? I can just not use the stuff you start out with, but the question still stands.

E: I think the REmake spoiled me with the unlockable hard mode, One Dangerous Zombie, and invisible enemies.

You have to buy the Dreamcast version. (Possibly the PC version as well.) That one has Nightmare Mode. I'm not sure if there are other differences besides that but basically enemies are a lot faster, take more hits and deal more damage...there might be more of them too, I don't know.

The N64 version has a mode where all the ammunition pickups and such get randomized.

I think the game only likes running at 30 or 60fps. So if you're running it on 60fps mode and not quite getting 60, it runs like crap. Unless of course you mean that your PC should be able to more than handle it at 60fps, in which case I don't know what to tell you.
