i miss this lil nigga like u wouldnt believe
>>736573821The old/contemporary kind were a fucking mess to use. The ink was so powdery it would inevitably get on you and it perma stained any clothing I don't miss them.Thankfully modern ink ribbons are really good and consistent too. The old ones would always get a bit too ink heavy as you ran through the ribbon for a reason I don't know. you mean saving in rooms but fuck you I never get to discuss typewriters.
>>736573821it was literally in requiem you stupid fucking NIGGER
RE2 Remake, RE7 (on Madhouse), and RE9 all have them. They're still around.
>>736574013Go drink your prune juice, gramps.
>>736573821they were in the new one actually, and I quite liked the implementation. Shame the whole game wasn't just like the hospital though.
>>736574121Wasnt the RE2 remake super gay about it though? Like you could save at any typewriter, without having to collect the ink ribbons? it's been a while. Games need to normalize rationing saves, it's one of my favorite things I've ever seen.
>>736574017Requiem? I hardly know her!
>>736574359Hardcore has consumable ink ribbons that are required to save, similar to how Requiem has a difficulty option that requires them.
>>736574359You played it on easy mode, which does not require items to save.
>>736574437turns out I'm a pussy. What a disappointing way to find out
>>736574396Why did they call it requiem?
>>736574013i love typewriters so much
>>736574515It is a super cool mechanic though, I agree that more games should use it.
>>736574554One of my favorite gaming memories is using my last save with one of those gremlins looking fuckers right outside of the room, after I'd spent too much time and completed too many puzzles in a row without saving, just holding on to that last ribbon. I kept trying to run by him, fight him, everything I could think, but I just kept getting bodied. Trying to decide whether to redo all of those puzzles or figure out a way around this dude was very difficult. Ended up reverting to the old save. Felt like a failure, but I learned from my mistakes. 10/10
>>736574013I appreciate your niche interest post, anon. Tell me more about typewriters. I grew up 15 minutes from IBM but all my experience with them is that era in the 2000s where hipsters brought typewriters to coffee shops.
>>736574528>Requiem noun: (especially in the Roman Catholic Church) a Mass for the repose of the souls of the dead.the game's main conflict is centered on the ruins of raccoon city, with both protags returning to a place of death that deeply affected them. Grace returns to the hotel, Leon returns to the RPD. both try to honor these deaths by doing what they believe is right
>>736575153Why does this time warrant a requiem? There's like 15 games that go to raccoon city.
>>736575153>requiem noun: (especially in your mother's vaginal canal) a Mass for the repose of the souls of the dead
>>736574528>>736574834It's also meant to be a red herring for Leon's death.
>>736575296Oops, meant for >>736575153
>>736575282>with both protags returning to a place of death that deeply affected themno wonder you are having trouble identifying themes despite the game literally being titled after it, you can't even read one full sentence of a 4chan post
>>736575393Ah you're retarded. Got it.
>>736575032IBM ON YOUR CHEST LMAO
>>736574425>HardcoreYou mean easy/normal from older games
>>736573821Let's be real. You never came close to running out, anyways.
>>736575562>man who can't figure out why the game centered on death, returning to the sites of those deaths and being motivated to stop more death is called Requiem calling anyone else retardedyou can lead a horse to water but you can't make it read
>>736575032The idea that people brought loud-fucking typewriters to coffeeshops to show how /lit/pilled they were is infuriating. I can't imagine a more annoying sound while I'm trying to get a coffee before work.
>>736575680You never need more than 3, if that, in any of the games.
>>736575680for first time players who are bad it's an additional stressor which I think is fine considering the whole deal of the games is item juggling
>>736575770>3rd playthrough>Why does anyone care about the scarcity of this object? Don't they know where they're all found?
>>736575153>>736575393This is graces first game tho.It being a requiem for her isnt super relevant since the visits both happen in the same game.Now if Claire or Jill were there instead it would make more sense.
>>736575830>aiiiee gotta save all the time or i'll piss my pants aieeie
>>736575814If the item chest wasn't a thing, it might have mattered.
>>736575841eh it's a fine enough parallel between Grace and Leon I think. Something like Claire/Leon again it would just be the same exact thing, where Grace lets you compare what confronting that death can be like at first, and Leon being the example of dedicating your life to honoring that death.
>>736575943>3rd playthrough>why does anyone care about saving? Don't they know how to solve all the puzzles?
>>736576243Because of the ever present>oops
>>736575830re3 has 45 saves across 15 collectable ink ribbons, and most of them are either in plain sight next to a typewriter or easy enough to locate on their own. what's the point of putting a limit on saving when the tokens that enable them are so plentiful?
>>736576597RE3 fucking sucks, so I agree with you. Why do that? It makes no sense
>>736574359>Games need to normalize rationing saves, it's one of my favorite things I've ever seen.I got stuff to do unc
>>736576719Get a (non)life, kid. Avoid grass and you'll be fine
CLICK CLACK CLACK CLACK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLACK
if your saves go into the double digits for a series where a casual playthrough runs 3-5 hours im sorry it might be terminalor your DSP
