Honestly, I feel for Ashley here. She's obviously freaked out after having had her body jacked from her, and she's already pretty attached to Leon. It makes sense she'd freak out, she's not a trained killing machine!

My favorite thing about the water room was always the infinite dark hole in the ceiling of the lower room that kept spawning new guys. They would just drop god knows how far and somehow NOT break there legs. I'm pretty sure it was right under the water room itself so I have no idea where they kept coming from.

Obviously they went through the same advanced tactical training as Leon S(hins of steel) Kennedy.

I love insanely convoluted rooms of no discernible purpose.

If I ever get rich, I'm making a cut rate Winchester mansion. There may or may not be weird murderous cultists.

Yeah Ashley freaking out after having her body hijacked and nearly shanking her protector is so much better than what happens in the original. She's a much better character in remake it's not even close.

"leon freaked out when he realized he could move and shoot at the same time"
"wouldn't you?"

i would, but not going "holy poo poo i can do this thing" so much as "holy poo poo why couldn't i do this thing before, and why didn't i realize it, what was affecting my mind, what else am i not realizing??"

i may have been reading a lot of SCP stuff lately

I was almost rooting for the Novistador's that were clowning on you. Spray and pray.

When they mentioned a commander-type Plagas, I thought it was just the bosses, but Big Red causing others to headsplode and occasionally stunning you was creative.

The red cultists are a good example of how the plagas are made considerably more nightmarish in the remake, given that the cultists scream and clutch their heads in agony and to all appearances do not at all seem jazzed about having worms explode their domes.

Also - the way I find to stealth this room is to go right, wait for the cultists to turn around, and sneak up the stairs to the catwalk so you can drop the chandelier on people. It can be tricky though, since one of the lady cultists is guarding it.

The intro reminded me of my biggest disappointment in the remake's story redesign, with Salazar Ramón popping in to chat on codec. I know why they cut most of it, but him and Saddler constantly chiming in for witty repartee was one of the big charms to the original.

On the gameplay side, I also don't love the red cultists. The occasional screen filter/stagger move isn't fun, and the setup leans a bit too far into plagas bursters for my taste. But on the other hand, I completely forgot about the chaingun guy in this section of the original, which is also a bit I don't like. So I dunno, maybe the only winning move is not to play :shrug:

Okay so watching this back, I made some comment about being surprised that some cultists were missing. Uhh, nevermind the fact that Argate sniped them before even starting the sequence; all three of us just seemed to have forgotten that :v:

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

It got interrupted by "keep your dogs on a leash" but Ashley yells at you first time you shoot at the dogs while they're still caged. I can't remember his response.

Holy :lol: at that cutscene skip for the bridge lever guy, I hadn't seen that before.

The switch to the Ashley section is a bit weird, it felt like such a natural fit for a revision of the Garrador cage fight, I was really surprised when it just turned into a completely hands-off set of cutscenes. I wonder if that was planned at some point, maybe I'm completely off base though.

The thing about the OG NG+ weapon folks were talking about is that it's not about the gun itself, it's about the outfit and reload animation you get with it :hellyeah:

And yeah, I don't really understand the purpose of the assault rifle in the remake, it just seems fundamentally crippled by using rifle ammo. If it had its own pickup, I'd be happy to play around with it like the TMP, but as it stands, there's no incentive to do anything with it other than shoot it a couple times then sell it off for ptas.

Not pictured: all of the Plagas waiting to burst out of that bubble. Come to think of it, I could swear there's a Simpsons joke about gum filled with spider eggs, and that imagery is coming to mind. Just, you know, Plagas instead of spiders.
