You can be an RE fan without playing the games... and that's okay
RE has always been a movie game franchise
I really wish they'd start banning twitter threads but I know they won't
Imagine judging chess by watching one pro match. It's too short. Only 64 squares. Only 32 pieces. Some pieces are just copies of each other.
Just a new generation of people who don't actually like playing games, but enjoy the social aspect of talking about them. Burn normalfags.
stop posting screenshots from other websites because you are afraid of confrontation and don’t want to say something to that person yourself
>>736533028You think posting a rely on tiwtter is confrontation Your post is more of a weird projection that says more about you than anything else
>Not everyone can afford video games!But vidya is the poor man's hobby.
>>736532554When I was younger and chuddier this would've made me sperg out. These days, it makes me feel like a superior class of human being for being able to talk about the game part of these video games.
>>736534361Based elitist anon. Let the commonfolk watch their moving picture shows.
>resident evil lore and charactersYou've gotta be fucking kidding me
>>736532554Women in the workplace
I used to almost emulate PSX on my Xperia X10 mini pro in 2010/11. It wasn't fast enough for full speed, but flagships like Xperia X10 or Samsung Galaxy S were enough for somewhat consistent full speed.
>>736532554Ofcourse you can be a fan of something in that way, doesn't mean you aren't pathetic for never actually playing it.
>>736532554I feel like if you watched the games in person as a social experience you could legitimately call yourself a fan, but watching it on youtube by yourself not so much.
>>736532554This happens with a lot of games nowadays, and I understand it isn't really about the game itself, but it's still odd to me that it would happen with RE of all things. They're short, easy and accessible games, and they don't have a huge amount to appreciate from just looking at them. It's bizarre seeing people act like they have complex and riveting characters, especially with how half-assed RE9's story felt. Still, I don't think it's actually about the game, but it's still weird for it to happen with RE of all things.
>MOVIE GAME MOVIE GAME MOVIE GAME MOVIE GAME MOVIE GAME MOVIE GAME >AAAAAAAAAAA NO YOU CAN'T WATCH IT LIKE A MOVIE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>736533028 >stop posting screenshots from other websites because you are afraid of confrontation “Confrontation” Bro it’s twitter. You’re not storming Normandy, you’re quote-tweeting a blue check with an anime avi. People post screenshots here because /v/ is for talking shit about vidya discourse without getting dogpiled by tourists and locked accounts. Not everyone wants to farm engagement on a site where saying “play the game” gets you 400 “um actually accessibility” replies. If you want confrontation that bad go argue in her mentions and post the block screenshot for us like a normal anon.
>>736532554if you didn't play the games then why are you a fan? it's like saying you are a fan of dragon ball without watching a single episode
>>736532554Watching others play video games is like watching porn. You will never get the feeling of having a climax over a hard boss that you beat with your own body.
Yknow they must be doing something right at capcom because theyve literally managed to sell their game to non players based on solely hype moments and aura, cuz everyone knows RE story aint that great especially with the "remake timeline" fucking things up
>>736533085>>736537806And you're still too much of a pussy. All of your deflection is just heaping condemnation upon yourself.
>>736537904You also don't need to clean up afterwards and deal with all the other shit around it.
>>736532554>not everyone can afford the hardwareA $100 phone can emulate the PS2 generation. That's half the games in the franchise.You can also cast it to most modern TVs and use an external bluetooth controller.Your phone is a decent little emulation box.
>>736534507That's retarded kpop-stan for schlicking off to Leon.
>>736534507This is the thing that confuses me the most. Who tf enjoys re for the story???Its fun in its own dumb way but the main draw is the gameplay and the horror. This has to be the worst series to be a secondary for.
>>736538114Because it's cope for the real answer. They're fingering their slits to Leon.
>>736532554Makes some sense. You have 40k fans who have never played the tabletop.
>>736538114Women think Leon is hot. That's it. I was in high school when Resident Evil 6 came out and there was a girl in my class who bought it and wouldn't shut up about Leon every single day.At least she played the game though.
>>736532554These people always talk about the lore and the characters and the bullshit. Not ONCE do they talk about gameplay.
>>736532554I wonder if vidya will become like sports, where some play but most just watch.We have e-sports, but I'm thinking on a much larger scale.
>>736532554>you've lived long enough to see a series you've been playing for literal decades get overrun by fujos who want to fuck Leon but don't play the games
>>736538425With streamers it's already a thing. I'm mostly playing my unc Diablo 2 and WoW private servers nowadays, anything new I usually just watch because I know I won't have it in me to go through a story game.
The absolute state of nuRE "fans"
>>736532554Wrong
>>736538512>has time to grind in infinite grindfests>can't complete a game with defined start and endthe fuck is wrong with you?
>>736532554>shegirls tend to be huge "fans" of a franchise without playing a single game.It was always like that.I remember being on Castlevania forums in the 00s and we had females who were saying that you don't have to play the game to be a fan of it.Women usually tend to become fangirls of a franchise if it has good characters. But they don't have to watch/play it.Not surprising such franchises like Castlevania or RE have such "fans".Same about Transformers - a lot of girls like Starscream but they never watched a G1 or Beast wars and not interested in it - they just reading Starscream fanfics/shipping characters
>>736532554If you have time to watch someone else play video games you have time to play them yourself. What a retarded argument.
>>736532554>getting mad at literally who twitter fags
>modern RE "fans" are fujos shlicking to tiktok reels of Ada and Leon getting marriedHow the fuck did we even get to this point?
this schizo has had something is his craw about twitter niggers not playing games for weeks now. fuck off back to twitter. stay there.
>>736532554Since the games are pretty shit I imagine that's most fans
>>736538928Poopdickschizo?
>>736532554I hope she gets mugged and violently beaten
>>736538956Original 4 + CV and 0 are good though.5 was the beggining of the end.
>>736538884It seems that it's been this way since at least RE6>>736538230Possibly even earlier.They're just louder now as this behavior is more acceptable.
>>736532554This is advanced warfare to make you forget one thing.The second biggest LARPers of Resident Evil are the powerscaling Spics, ie Chris fans.Chrisfags don't want you to know this.
>>736532554I'd kinda understand it for franchises with interesting lore but opaque/niche gameplay or too long of a playtime but RE is exactly the opposite of that
>>736532554ohhh okay it's all making sense now. a majority of gaming discourse is just done by broke third worlders who watch someone else play the game. what other things are impossible to discuss online because of these people? hmmmm
Why do people care so much about being a fan of something?
>>736538512You are a soulless golem
>>736539073They have to participate in the zeitgeist and they don't want to be left behind.
>>736532554Another example of how women are ruining video games.
>>736538725Time has nothing to do with it when those game are all about gameplay and theory crafting/number crunching to improve efficiency. Completely incomparable to story games where gameplay is now often just something to do between cutscenes.
>>736539073We all like to belong to a tribe. That's why sports fans are so passionate.When I was growing up we had the metal guys and rave guys and you weren't even "allowed" to like both.
>>736536110>Xperia X10 mini probased
RE1 can be beaten in 2 hours even without speed running autism, single RE2 scenario in 3 hours ans RE3 around the same time frame.You can beat the entire RE trilogy in literally one weekend. So much for modern gamers.
>>736539149How do I reconcile my love for the first Gabriel Knight game (made by a woman) with my hatred for female gamers?
>>736539241Because Roberta Williams was cool.
>>736539227I can't afford them let alone the hardware to play them on
>>736539286Just pirate the gog version, dummy.
>>736539316p-p-p-p-p-p-pIRATE????????
>>736539286>I can't afford PS1 gamesAnon, they're like $5 each and even then you can pirate them. If you can't play the games on the hardware you have then how the fuck are you using /v/ since you'd be running a Windows XP SP1 with 512MB of RAM at MAX
>>736532830>banning twitter threadsWhat the fuck would be discuss then? Video games?
>>736539362I'm obviously funposting but you do realize all zoomies only have phones, right?
>>736539286All of them have native PC ports that run on any hardware released in the last 25 years.
>>736539381see>>736538016
>>736538230>>736538884>>736539001I study finance and theres and artfag Fujo studying for a degree that actually earns money, last month some retard was watching RE9 gameplay on the class projector, I jokingly told him to shut it off because I just bought the game and only played the first hours, anyways my boomer teacher asks me if "that one cutie with the miniskirt" (Jill Valentine) still appears in the games (based boomer) to which I said "Yes but she doesn't wear the skirt"To which the artfag responded almost screaming "AND THATS OKAY, NO WOMAN WOULD WALK AROUND THE APOCALYPSE WITH A MINI SKIRT!"Teacher and I looked at each other and laughed it off knowing we cant be cancelled because hes about to retire and I'm about to graduate so who fucking cares lol.Anyways what followed was that the gameplay switched to Leon's gameplay and it showed him opening one of those cabinets and the artfag foid screamed "THATS MY DADDY LEON, HES MY BOYFRIEND!"The foid already has a boyfriend... The class knows him.Teacher and I looked at each other like picrel. Cringiest and most retarded shit I have ever witnessed and I'm a Leonfag.Shouldn't have left class for 2 years, now there's even a tranny in class.
I really like every mainline RE game up until RE5, but not the newer ones.Can I even call myself an RE fan?
>>736539438cute story kid
>>736539438My sister likes Leon and she showed him to all her female coworkers and now they spend hours every day sending Leon Instagram reels to each other.
>>736539464Yes.Post RE4 games are literally not reaident evil games.
Its insane how zoomers always have the shittiest takes on everything
>>736539465Nigga women are THAT performative, artfag women are even worst, and artfag women in gaming are the worst of the worst. Its not that hard to believe.See?>>736539560LmaoI have a friend like this but with Chris, fag is a turboautist that watches anime and reads comics to join their respective powerscaling communities.Nigger called himself a big fan of the franchise while having played 0 games with Leon or Jill when I met him, he only played RE1, RE5 and RE6 (Chris Campaign) everything else he read the wiki entries and watched YouTube essays.He actually had me fooled by repeating the >"RE7 saved le franchise!" Mantra for 7 years, he only played RE7 2 years ago.Resident Evil is filled to the brim with LARPers and I don't know why. Someone should make a study on this.
>>736539775I'm not doubting you.
>>736539465And your bussy is even cuter. Hand it over.
>>736532554No, you can't
