 Today Claire and Moira break out of prison and then the mysterious voice continues to taunt them with German literature. In the meantime, Claire continues to ignore gigantic super obvious horror cliches despite being in several horror games already, while running away from Pyramid Head.

In regards to the sandwich line, it's also totally something you could see Barry joking about with people. Barry's a goofy old guy and he's great.

CJacobs posted:I think these are some fair complaints. I disagree that it's not as fun as RE4 because while I do think that game is the 'best' in the series, it's extremely annoying to actually play it because of the controls imo. Yeah, I'll agree that not being able to move while aiming - or sidestep - was a bit of a black mark on an otherwise pretty great game. Raid mode looks like it might be fun in this; I haven't tried it yet. I don't know how you manage all the quick aiming in that, though; I think I'm nearing the end of episode three in the campaign and the mouse acceleration is still kicking my arse. It's like... it's hard to come up with a good analogy for this. It's like trying to walk on an icy surface. ... If walking were aiming. Ugh - you see what I mean.

Yeah even me and my friend just started immediately calling them Pyramid Heads. This game pretty openly takes inspiration from Silent Hill in the monster design and a lot of the atmosphere as well as all the ~symbolism~. Even the flashlight stuff. The result is strong yet still distinctly cheesy enough to be Resident Evil.

Unfortunately there's nothing you can do about the real, actual mouse acceleration but there are steps you can take to reduce its strength. If you're playing on PC, turn vsync off IMMEDIATELY. Like holy crap, when I first got the game I played with vsync on and I got exactly what you were talking about. Also, sometimes the game doesn't put the correct hz for your monitor so make sure that's properly set under 'scanlines' as well. Also, turn on the fast aiming/fast camera mode in the options menu. The game puts a maximum speed on your ability to turn while aiming or pointing the camera, which makes snap shots pretty hard to pull off. Turning those options on overrides that speed cap. liquidypoo posted:That's funny, I've been referring to the Ironheads as Budget Pyramid Head Glad I'm not the only one!

Speaking of Silent Hill, here's some fun facts for you: The Overseer is voiced by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (pretty much every Silent Hill vocal track as well as Mary/Maria in the HD version of 2) and Barry is voiced by none other than the psychiatrist in Shattered Memories, Michael McConnohie, aka the motherfucking narrator of Dragonball Z. His mimicking of RE 1 Barry's voice is spot loving on.

I see Pyramid Head has gotten loose from Silent Hill and is now invading other franchises. Where will the madness end?

Plus, Barry finally gets top billing after all these years of being a support character/Mercenaries exclusive. Now if they'd only explain why they decided "Barry at 51 years old" should look like James Lipton.

Yeah the dude who does Barry in this game is a pretty spot-on impersonator of the original guy. Except with less, uh, 90s PS1 Era Voice Acting.man nurse posted:Speaking of Silent Hill, here's some fun facts for you: Oh no way! I didn't know that, that's pretty cool.

A lot of poorly explained options in there. I should have tried disabling v-sync before, but it's not an especially graphically intensive game and it's running at a flat 60 fps without my video card breaking a sweat, so I didn't think of it.

Just finished watching part two of episode 1, and Cjacobs you're killing me here, why would you blow up that rare weapon part with the flamethrowing bust? Clearly you're supposed to turn the bust then turn on the flames.

Atomikus posted:You'll want to pick that bolt apart and let it sit in turpentine for a day or so. There's probably some crap stuck in somewhere. Possibly even in the chamber. Nah, I cleaned out cosmoline from virtually the entire gun and detail stripped the bolt once. The stickiness is totally random and not dependent on specific cartridges in the chamber being weirdly sized (I've used a set of dummy rounds made from emptied surplus ammo to test for that variable); sometimes I can cycle it with no effort and sometimes I need to yank it.

I like how Moira covers her ears when you fire a gun too close to her. That's good attention to detail.

Their facial expressions actually change during dialogue as well, depending on the context, which isn't something readily apparent. There's lots of nice touches despite this being a bit of a budget title.

I have recently made an effort to play through every RE game, and this is my favorite, especially when playing coop. The controls work well with the more aggressive enemies, and it's got a pretty much perfect length. All the characters are really endearing, too.

 Today we return to the company of the man, the myth, the legend. And also fire and spinning blades of death. It seems Barry has come to the island looking for his missing daughter like any good father would; and then he shoots lots and lots of zombies in the brain. Like, uh, any good father would.

Arriving with two powerful, accurate handguns, an assault rifle, and spare ammunition officially makes Barry the single smartest and best prepared Resident Evil PC in the history of the series.

An old grump loaded for bear teamed up with a small child who's somehow involved in this whole zombie thing. I'm just going to go ahead and pretend the Barry parts are actually a Biomega game.

Apparently the reason Barry's revolver looks so blocky now is because they remodeled it to resemble the Smith & Wesson Model 500, specifically the variant from Resident Evil 5. Edit: Also, Natalia's a goddamn badass. She's 10 at the most and she just goes and smashes a zombie's head in with a brick without even flinching. chitoryu12 fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Apr 16, 2015 |

Resident evil 5 or 6? Because the one from six looks like this:  While the one from 5 looks like this:  Either way I rather like the way his magnum looks. It reminds me of the handguns the judges use in the Dredd universe. Lawbringers? Lawgivers? i dunno what they're called.

ALSO I was a little suspicious of how Barry brought an AR-15 to a Russian island and was able to scavenge assault rifle ammo from the environment...until I looked closer at his gun. He's using a KAC SR-47, which uses standard 7.62x39mm AK magazines. IMFDB thinks this is its first ever visual media appearance.

 Barry's trademark magnum has always been a Colt Anaconda (though in the original pre-remakes RE1 it was a Colt Python). The above is from REmake and you can only get it if you kill Barry which nobody should ever do because he's the best sad dad ever. However, in this game it's apparently an S&W Model 500:   Except with a comically oversized Colt Anaconda barrel, for uh, some reason. Everything besides the barrel is yanked from the RE5 version (see IBlameRoadSuess' post) Do note that the gun blending might not actually be an error because the game mentions several times that Barry loves customizing his guns, so maybe he tinkered with it himself somehow.

Yeah man, Barry's Samurai Edge bears posting in HD because look at the drat thing. That is one hell of a frankengun! By the way, don't look at the IMFDB page for this game unless you want lots of story spoilers courtesy of quirky image descriptions. Usually they're great but this time and this time alone they have only served to work against me
