The new RE engine runs crazy good and looks excellent, even on old hardware. It's ability to render moldy disgusting slimy food is completely unparalleled.

Hah, my dad was one of those RTS turtlers. I remember watching him play protos maps where he would literally just built a line of photon cannons from his base into the enemy base.

I remember doing something similar in a camp lan ffa. Somebody had tons of carriers. Best RTS is online Myth 2. Base building Riftbreakers is indeed pretty good. They are Billions is too shallow (at least when I played it). Am I a bad person for wanting people to find D4 poo poo and to stop buying Blizzard games? I know I'm not because I know them buying mediocre games means less good games get made. Them having fun means I'm having less fun.

This isn't news to me. I know. It is just kind of sad and every once and awhile I'm like "eh gently caress it I'm going to go for it" only to be disappointed. Now should I have known Horizon New Dawn or whatever the first one is called was going to be garbage? Yeah I should have but it didn't stop me. I actually got Company of Heroes 3 and while I enjoy it well enough I suppose (you know for a WW2 boring looking, kind of buggy game) it's just like, gently caress this could have been a good indie title that was cheaper, had a more interesting theme, looked better, and was less buggy. Also it wouldn't matter so much but you kind of need players for multiplayer games and these triple A titles generally hog all of the players.

iirc crash 1 has running into the camera at least once per region. but it's been a while and i only played most of it.

brave fencer musashi has you run into the camera just once. and of its many lovely gameplay segments, that is perhaps the least offensive one. the invincible zombie boss where you have to survive until the sun comes up was smart though

Time for shore leave!!
So the Crash remasters have wonky jumping or something. They used the Crash 3 physics for jumping in 1 and 2 which makes 1 a harder game requiring more precision. "You fall more quickly upon release of the X button than you did in the original game". It was done intentionally as they felt 3 had the best controls. Devs even recommend playing 2 or 3 first as a new player as they're easier apparently.

How the gently caress did Resident Evil go from 4, which is a loving master class in action horror game design, to whatever the hell RE5 is?

I find all of the 3rd person open world carnival-style action games (where it feels like the world is just a grid full of carnival booths of things to do) really bland but Horizon Zero Dawn is one that really truly baffled me when I actually played it.

The combat is okay, it's nothing exceptional and it hinders itself by giving you extremely easy constant access to tools (tear arrows) that absolutely trivialize it by letting you ignore all of the gimmicks it's intended to have (without being fun enough to incentivize not trivializing it with those tools).

The melee combat is I am pretty sure a joke that was added late in the game when they realized they hosed up and said the game would have melee combat in a preview.

It's a game that is ostensibly about fighting robot dinosaurs but the main big-bad antagonists are literally like... walking gun platforms that aren't even vaguely dinosaurish? And you spend a lot of time fighting things like flying robot birds - an enemy type that has been objectively terrible in every game that has ever included them. (edit: except for Duck Hunt)

Then it tries to do this Monster Hunter thing where you're supposed to hunt down robots and shoot off certain parts of them to get the materials you need to upgrade your gear, except like 20 minutes after the intro cutscenes you reach a town that sells all the best equipment in the game for extremely cheap. So you end up hunting down each of the dinosaur types (all what... 6 of them?) once or twice each then you're done and spend the rest of the game walking past them.

And what most fans cite as their favorite and most memorable parts of the game are literally the sections where you hold forward on the stick while watching extremely long walking sim cutscenes of the main character climbing through techno-caves and listening to cliche "whoops we apocalypsed" recordings. Like, you can guess the entire plot of the entire game within the first one of those caves but then you have to go through several more full of big "reveals" that were telegraphed several hours ago.

I think literally the only reason the game became a sensation was because of weird incels arguing that the main character wasn't sexy enough and how easy it was to mock them and be like "no she's cool", but iirc she had essentially zero personality whatsoever in the game other than making annoyed grunts at the things the data log voice recordings were saying and being a stereotypical fearlessly-persistent protagonist.

I also like the implication that hwoever was planning for the end of the world at the hands of robot t-rexes was like "you know, we need to make like, some giant mechanical snakes and sea serpents and poo poo to populate the new world, and we'll make deer robots that eat the grass that the other robots can prey upon for some reason?"

Resident Evil 4 is a game that's aged extremely well and remaking it is one of the dumber things Capcom has done. There was no reason at all to remake it, especially when there are RE games that need the remake treatment way, way more.

On the one hand I agree with you 100%. RE4 is one of those once in a generation games that will never not be just as good now as it was then.
On the other hand Capcom is making a billion dollars from this so I guess we’re the idiots.

Unnecessary but so good to play. RE4 aged well, but it is clunky by today's standards. Just the QOL improvements do a lot for the RE4 gameplay.

Like for example when hunnigan calls, Leon can move and casually left hook punch open crates and pick up poo poo while on the call. Just full of nice little additions on top of the graphics overhaul.

As far as games that could use remakes go RE4 is way higher on the list than a bunch of other games that have gotten remakes like Dead Space, Demon's Souls, and The Last of Us.

And those were all good. And so is RE4. The original is still a good game but it's annoying to play now because of the weird controls and it's definitely showing its age visually. I've bounced off it like 5 times in recent years because I think it feels liek crap to play now. it's nice to be able to play it where it feels good as hell and looks great.

That Fucking Sned
Oct 28, 2010

It’s good that RE4 got a remake since a brand new game wouldn’t have half the crazy poo poo they put in it.

Unlike the first three games, the original is still available on every console and Steam. You’re not losing anything from this being made, unless you’re desperate for RE9.
