I still have the footage I just never uploaded it, I think what happened is that I didn't cut the parts the way I usually do so I saw the project, saw that it more or less fit with what was at the beginning of part 9 and thought "well then I must've uploaded this". I'll probably do some really rudimentary editing and get them uploaded ASAP.

edit: Yeah it's just one episode I forgot to upload, I suppose this week you're technically getting two whole episodes!!

You wonder in the previous video how the character is supposed to know, in-game, to push the four stones off the platform where you fight Lisa. The answer would seem to be in the not-quite-lost episode, in the one note you actually stop to read. The note doesn't outright say how the stones are stopping Lisa from getting to her mother's body, but I'm pretty sure Jill could intuit what to do from that.

I don't understand the "in-universe" mechanic for those four stones opening the coffin/sarcophagus/stone box with spooky scary skeleton inside. Loose chains break and it slides open... what? How? I know it's not really something I should think about so much, but that's what happens when you play a game several dozen times; you start questioning poo poo that even the developers probably didn't think through entirely before throwing them into the game.

(I know there are also all those other puzzles with stuff that makes no sense but I'll get to those later or something.)

Very sorry uploading's slowed again, life's still kicking my rear end. To make up for it there's something of a bonus video coming down the pipeline today (which I probably won't link here due to how off topic it is) and, with RE7 beginning hour hitting steam, I will be streaming it today, Monday the 19th, at some point around 7 to 8 pm est (or later; I'll make a post when I'm about to go live)!

So I know about the whole "run and blow up" thing but was it the shooting that caused that explosion? Or the slight movement backward the shotgun causes? Or maybe just shooting too often? Not being able to run is mean enough.

From that thread, http://i.imgur.com/r6H1wCf.jpg is apparently from the official guide. If it's correct, firing any weapon that isn't the handgun can explode you.

Agreed. The handgun just doesn't have the stopping power that would prevent the chimeras from hitting you that the other weapons do. This is fake difficulty, no doubt.

Man there is this huge gap in my memory between entering the Dormitory and where the last video left off. I feel like somehow I completely missed the Aqua Ring even though I've watched every update.

Anywho. Carrying the nitroglycerine "fuel supply capsule" is probably one of the only actual problems I have with the REmake, the other being just how goddamned unforgiving the game is in general. I won't go off about it again since I already did several pages back but the only other thing that really bothers me about REmake is the Crimson Head/fuel canteen mechanic, if only because for some reason zombies are a lot harder for me to dodge in REmake/Zero as opposed to the classic games.

I've found that, in general, the Aqua Ring in REMake is almost like a memory black hole. The middle act of the game is paced really weirdly where I pretty much never remember anything between the Dorm and the underground Umbrella lab, it's almost like it moves too quick to stick in your brain.

I think I prefer the 'Aqua Block' from the original. Not visually, I mean it looks loving awful as far as that goes, but it's not held up by that dumb oil pressure thing which breaks the flow of things once you've figured it out the first time.

Anyway, as for the Explodomatic Fuel Capsule... it's something I hate about REmake. Okay they wanted to make it different from the original and that's fair enough but holy poo poo it's a tedious segment. You kill everything then walk... very... slowly... to... power... up... the... generator. Really I think it could have just been another regular item without some arbitrary KABOOM! mechanic to punish you for having the audacity to run through some empty corridors.

It almost feels like an MMO escort quest. You're forced to walk instead of moving at full speed because you'll outpace the NPC. gently caress you if it's your first time through the game and you didn't clear the path before picking the drat thing up. Which, assuming you were playing with basic survival horror common sense, you would have evaded anything that could be dodged to conserve ammo. gently caress you too if you didn't know shotgun recoil could set off the capsule, apparently. I sure didn't know until this update.

This isn't exactly on topic but I suppose that's sort of in the spirit of the last video. Picked up RE: Origins collection last week and holy poo poo 0 is even worse than I remember it. I thought it was just the Xbone's control scheme but apparently the PS4's is also rear end backwards on standard and classic and there seemed to be extremely little variation between the types. Instead of taking the traditional mapping of ◻=run, X=action, O=Menu, Δ=map, they flip-flopped it so now O/B is run (+RT/R2 is loving reload. In a classic RE game. With menu reloading.) ◻/X is now menu and X/A remains action. Δ/Y is partner swap. I can't even count how many goddamn times I went to run and opened the menu instead. To say nothing of the gameplay. I forgot Rebecca was the only one who could mix herbs. Or that the goddamn shotgun took up two inventory spaces.

Some of these achievements are sheer lunacy too. Beat the game without healing once? That's about a million times worse than beating the game without using FAS's for A rank. Even tanking poo poo with Billy that'll be a chore. Why don't I just solve world hunger while I'm at it?

Naga I can't wait until you get to 0 so the rest of the goons can see what a wet fart the gameplay is.

I did all the RE0 achievements. It wasn't too hard to do the no healing one if you've A-ranked the Leech Hunter mode first. Also, you could probably use Wesker Mode to make it even easier.

Oh you can do that? I figured they'd block achievements if you tried to do it that way. I'm not even sure I can do the former though. I never could on the Gamecube.

They don't block them on the Steam version. I had played through the game about 3 times in succession before attempting the no heal run, so I knew the route and the key areas with big monsters and dangerous ambushes, not to mention tricks like leaving the room when certain enemies will explode and going back in safe and sound. Plus, I saved after every big encounter, which meant if I got touched, I could reload. The main special weapon does make the game a hell of a lot easier, and unlike RE2 won't penalise you on your final rank.

Maybe I have a masochist streak but I enjoy the challenge some of the achievements offer, that and some that are put in just for fun (such as finding out what happens if you try to push something heavy with Rebecca)

As far as I can tell, it's Twitter drama. Apparently Lowtax made it through the last fifteen years without anyone telling him what is and isn't considered a slur against transgendered people.

There's more to it, but everyone's being so goddamn vague that I have no idea what actually happened.
