the voice direction in the kh games has always been "challenging" at best after a while you sort of get used to the leaden delivery and halting timing on every line but that just makes it tolerable, not good

The box art is six generic gothy anime characters (i.e. Square characters) and three Disney characters. I feel like the basic concept for the series ("let's cross JRPGs with Disney IP!") would have been better-served by having only one or two of the former and a lot more of the latter. Do the Disney characters up in belts and impractical weapons, sure, that's fine, but they should really be the stars of the show.

In terms of voice acting the Disney characters usually sound okay (even if they don’t always sound like the original voice acting) it’s just the non-Disney guys sound stiff.

The Disney stuff is fine if you buy in. But after you've bought into the premise then you have to follow an absolutely batshit storyline with like 3 Ansems and 4 Xehonorts and Org 13 and etc. Like, it's just bad writing and game design that would be poo poo in anything.

Nomura, Director Of The Series And Absolute Dweeblord posted:If I had to pick, I am a person more on the dark side like Xehanort and co., I harness the burning anger in my heart into what I create,” said Nomura. “Kingdom Hearts III’s current development explodes very much in this sense. Each time, it’s a battle with Sora and co. who are the exact opposite of myself, it’s been over 10 years and yet we haven’t reached a conclusion.

The only reason some guy called Ansem was the bad guy in KH1 was that they thought it would be too simple if Maleficent was the villain from beginning to end. Unfortunately the director then bent over backwards to make this Ansem guy the villain of every story, despite it not being compelling or interesting in any way. I like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure as an antidote because it restarts with a new hero and villain with each installment. What did the author do when he killed off DIO, the time-stopping vampire? He followed up with Yoshikage Kira, the David-Bowie lookalike who explodes people by shaking their hands. He didn't make every part about Jotaro and Dio despite their iconic nature. Resident Evil 2 is out now and the beautiful thing is you don't need to know a single thing about Resident Evil 1, so you can start here. I don't think a single character shows up in both games.

Brad Vickers (chopper pilot) appears as a secret zombie in the original RE2 and there's a poster of him in the same spot in the remake. I've wasted my life.

To be fair, Ada's mission was to secure a sample of the Las Plagas virus, the guy who survived and helped foil another outbreak being there was coincidental and incredibly dangerous for Wesker's ambitions since said survivor was an action comedy movie hero Calaveron has a new favorite as of 21:26 on Feb 4, 2019 |

With the shift to photorealism it's odd to think that the average-looking Chris Redfield seen in RE7 once punched a boulder out of his way into a volcano, or that the pretty-boy rookie-cop Leon would later suplex spanish-zombies. I wonder how they handwave all this wacky-stuff when it's mentioned in the grounded, realistic RE games.

Because if you're implying RE7 is grounded and or realistic, that's the game where you get your hand chainsawed off and then stapled back on and it takes because you're infected with a virus that is turning you into fungus and the first aid sprays are essentially miracle gro. Also you have a chainsaw swordfight with a boss who hours prior chased you around driving your car inside his garage, complimenting your sweet ride the entire time

I really want to play RE6, it sounds like the best kind of bad game and when I mentioned it to my friend they basically responded with "Hell yes I want to coop re6" Speaking of good coop games, lost planet 2 was one of the best coop games I ever played and was pretty much peak capcom, and I eagerly await a remaster or a new one made in the same vein. I know it's a pipe dream but frankly with RE7, Monster hunter world, and now a actual Devil may Cry 5 coming out I feel like I can at least hope.

I started playing Resident Evil 6 co-op and it's great. Full of jank and bullshit deaths and QTEs but even so. Like, they took the melee moves you could previously only do when you shot a zombie in the right spot and now you can just always do it. "Sidekick a zombie" is just a button now. And when you do shoot them then it lets you flip them around or do elbow drops. The only downside so far is that against anything but the basic enemies I have no idea of how much damage I've actually done. How much damage do zombie dogs take? I dunno, apparently "every bullet in this pistol". Those skinless guys? I dunno, it's either three or ten shotgun blasts. This big gasbag? Built like a tank.

One of my problems with RE6 is they had enough ideas for maybe one and a half campaigns of actually good content, but made three and a half campaigns, so each one is 50-65% obnoxious filler of one stripe or another. wait, what thread is this? Uh, Anthem's flight controls feel fun? They nailed that feel even if the moment to moment gunplay is pretty generic. marshmallow creep has a new favorite as of 02:51 on Feb 5, 2019 |

Wargroove has a lot of love and polish that went into it but my favorite touch is that when the dog units take damage during the attack animation they run away instead of having a death poof like humanoid units

On my own I could just never be arsed getting through those.

I got through 3.5 of the 4 RE6 campaigns and then just quit. As much as I love every other game in the series, I couldn't do it. Granted I was playing them all on hard mode without a co-op partner so that MAYBE had something to do with it As for the 2 remake, the sound design really is great. I finally have a proper surround sound setup at home, and hiding out while I listen to Mr.X's footsteps go all over the place above me is tense as hell
