There was a cool German word for when you get really embarrassed/shamed/guilt-ridden for the actions of someone else even (especially) if they have nothing to do with you. Can't remember what it was but I feel that reaallllllyyy keenly so I won't be watching any game award nonsense

its very funny to me that people in tyool 2016 still argue that the first few re games are good games.

no, they are one step above visual novel puzzlers, they barely have gameplay.

American releases of Japanese games being unbalanced to make them more difficult and punishing as a way of combating rentals by making it harder to play through them in a weekend is one of history's greatest injustices. I can't imagine how much less tedious the original RE would have been if it still had had auto-aim and more save ribbons and less punishing difficulty like the original JP release did.

Everyone, please go and download DoomRL while we still can - it's one of the best roguelikes out there, and captures Doom perfectly.

I guess Bethesda Legal wasn't too happy with how his Kickstarter for Jupiter Hell kept bringing up the fact it's a spiritual successor to DoomRL.

He can just name it BOOMRL and change some names of items and monsters if he wanted to keep it up.

Yeah, I imagine getting actually DOOM-connected people to promote it probably was the final straw.

Edit:
That said, taking down DoomRL with 11 days to go in the kickstarter probably assures the kickstarter's success on spitedollars.

Oddly enough I think Toby Fox would have been content if Nintendo had removed all evidence of his old rear end Earthbound Halloween Hack from the net if he had plastered the fact he created it all over his Kickstarter for Undertale.

not sure if posted yet, but Undertale had a new album released in corroboration with the composer of the MGS series. its pretty fantastic smooth jazzy and I am literally nodding off typing this right now (may also be the alcohol)

I know that these questions can be answered with "just go with it", but uh - why would you send a special agent into a rescue mission with only a handgun and ten bullets?

And why can't he move when he's shooting? Even Harry Mason from Silent Hill could do that!

That would actually be kind of cool - the only pitchfork weapon I know of in games is in the Dark Souls 1 DLC.

Remember this was the transition from fixed camera pre-rendered background RE to modern TPS RE. The game was designed with your inability to strafe in mind!

A dude ambushed me in a shack, I already hate the tank controls - but at least I know where the quick-turn button is, and I've figured out how to open my menu and apply healing items.

This game is pretty cool so far.

set the controls to be only on the left stick with movement switching to aiming when you draw your gun. i was having a hard time with it until i did it and then it became really good feeling and natural. it does not play well imo as a 2 stick game.

RE4 is the last RE game you can play with a controller because after that the controller setup becomes abysmal, so enjoy it.

edit: Or do what I did and play RE4 with mouse/keyboard, which is nice because you're not locked into an arbitrary turn/aim speed.
