Just rolled credits on RE: Requiem. Finished in 6:20 on Hard.Honestly? Best the series has been since RE4. Capcom finally remembered how to cook. The nostalgia pandering actually worked for once—running through the Raccoon City ruins and the Ark felt like a fever dream in 4K. The secret underground office for Dr. Vlad was peak aesthetic, even if the "secret lab" trope is getting dusty.That said, the pacing is a bit schizophrenic. The beginning drags like a zombie with no legs, and the villains are absolute mid-tier trash.What was Capcom thinking with "Xeno"? Blondie looks like a rejected Devil May Cry extra and you don't even get to fight the guy. Total blue balls. Then you have Dr. Vlad, who is just "Generic Russian Antagonist #42." I’ve seen more depth in a puddle of t-Virus.Massive missed opportunity not bringing Wesker back for this. Watching a grizzled, veteran Leon go toe-to-toe with Wesker would have broken the internet. Instead, we got a token Russian and a guy who stands around looking edgy.8/10, would have been a 10 if I could've roundhouse kicked Wesker into a volcano.How long did it take you guys to clear? Or are you all still stuck on the Ark puzzle?
>>73699713212 hours on my first try. But I explored alot and played like a true chickenshit during the Grace sections
>How long did it take you guys to clear?16 hours on normal (modern) and i even picked the wrong finale. I'm doing a second run on normal (classic) now.
just finished it also. good game, i don't think i'd replay it though, i'd rather replay 4 if i was gonna replay one. fun though
pros : graphicsstorygrace is cuteemily is cutegood mix of action/classic re. cons: default fov for grace is unplayable (need mod to fix) big unkillable enemies you have to hide from/manipulate/stealth sections annoying (e.g. the girl, fat guy, nemesis, mr x, re7 family, re8 ladies etc, i just hate those kinds of sections and they feel tedious)
>>736997132>not bringing Wesker back for thisi have no evidence for this but zeno totally looks like wesker and at the end the other guy says to zeno YOURE JUST AN IMITATION so maybe hes implying that zeno is like a clone of wesker or something? wouldnt be out of character for the series
It’s a decent 6/10
>first playtgrough>6:20Bullshitting. Brown. Tranny.
>>736997132How come Claire isn't even mentioned in this when she should suffer the same symptoms as Sherry and Leon?
>>736997132>The nostalgia pandering actually worked for onceNo, it didn't. Raccoon City was a slog to get through, and the game takes a dive at the midway point. How anyone thinks this is anything more than a 7/10 is beyond me.
>>737001789>slognope it was fun
>>736997132I just beat resident evil 4 remake for the first time.
>>737003114grats. i might play it again tbhdesu
>>737003372I mostly played it because the Leon segments of RE9 were good. It's been a long time and I can soften up my grudge against RE4 a bit. I can always have a place in my hatred for the original, after all.
>>736997132Gideon is top 3 Resident Evil villains of all
>>736999926Fat dude can be killed and isn't that hard to do on standard.
>>736997132There was no need for the zoomie, ledditfied post. If you want to discuss RE9, just discuss RE9. Anyway, it's dogshit made to bait old REfags into buying this piece of shit and to try to draw in retarded casual newcomers with Grace. No other major characters are involved in what is supposed to be closing the Racoon City arc except for Leon and a paid DLC that may or may not actually involve Ada. And and still no other game modes such as raid mode or survival so you're stuck with a short campaign you paid a premium for unless you pirate it which i honestly recommend you do in this point in time.
>>73700311423 hours is quite the length even for a first run - am I correct in deducing you faced many challenges that resulted in death?
It was fun and I also think it's the best thing since RE4. Though it's still the kind of game I pirate, play once and never touch it again until years later.

>beat the game on standard (modern)>beat the game on standard (Classic)>beat the game on insanity>beat the game in under 4 hours>beat the game without using healsI hate these types of achievements. Even with cheats, they just feel like a slog
>>737004232>the ultimate lifeform grown to play the guitar
>>737004338There is zero reason to ever play on modern.
There's nothing that can convince me this game's 'story' wasn't spliced together at the last minute from at least three other failed drafts. Nothing makes sense, it contradicts not only its own story but other parts of the series too, leaving you asking even more questions instead of answering a single one.
>>737004808>an RE story is full of plot holes and badSTOP THE PRESSES
>>737004950Yeah but this one is bad even by RE standards
bros what if it's not very realistic you were able to build a massive cathedral underground a major city without anyone noticing that somehow stays operational beneath a ruined city and is totally dust free
>>736997132>>HardYou mean Classic or Insanity? There's no hard mode this time. Also Vlad? You mean Victor? He doesn't even speak with a Russian accent. He was quite disappointing because for the entire game I was expecting a giant snake final form, but it never happened. Xeno? Did you torrent a Duwang subbed version of the game or something?
>>737005102It's par for the course really, considering the whole premise of the series is the value of uncontrollable zombies versus just having a bomb.
>>737005145Umbrella literally built Racoon City.
>>737004808>no sane person would send a delicate autist like Grace into the field>Grace didn't call in backup the minute she found the "let's talk" key with a picture of herself>despite her value, Gideon (or Zeno) doesn't remove Grace from danger the second zombies and The Girl start chasing her>devs saw fit to provide her with TWO pea shooters for no particular reason>Grace is so helpless and slow that ANYONE would feel some fear in her shoes>rotting idiot zombies can throw objects with razor precision>rotting idiot BSAA zombies can utilize mortars with razor precision>Raccoon city streets are a repetitive slog with nothing interesting to see>reach RPD (something tons of us wanted to see), immediately chased out by jobber Mr. X>there are 28 year old cop zombies in the RPD somehow that survived both protags and a nuke>3 shotguns for Leon for what reason>Grace runs like a geriatric while making sex noises (coomers will defend this)>nothing new in the way of level design or memorable enemies>you are forced to kill Hunk as a minor jobber boss>G-Virus not mentioned at all, it was the T-Virus all alongI could go on and on. Been playing this series forever. The game is a mess with pretty graphics. The only things I found memorable were the talking zombies in Grace's early parts. I can't even get myself through a second round of it.
>>736997132>Or are you all still stuck on the Ark puzzle?what ark puzzle?
>>736997132Awful zoomer taste faggot, it's a shit game that plays it way too save
>>737005862>plot holes>in a Resident Evil gameWow...
>>737006031Plot holes so big you could drive a bus into them. It's like they gave exactly 1/4th of a fuck. So glad I waited for fitboy to release a non-Hypervisor of this one.
>>737006169Yeah, like every RE game dumbass. Because these games aren't about the plot and you're fucking retarded if you ever paid attention to it.
>>737005862The Elpis project variant of T is designed around memory manipulation, so monsters all preserve all their technical memories.
It's bad. It's worse than the 4demake.It's so fucking tiresome chief i want these people out of video games already, move to the next thing please. You retards already killed movies
>>736997132I agree with that one anon that this is clearly AI generated, so it's funny people have to use AI to make posts because they either can't/don't want to actually type out their thoughts. >>737004134What's even creepier is Wesker was like what? In his late 20's or early 30's in RE1? Rebecca was like 18-19? I was wondering how he even got that photo? But since her shirt says R.P.D I'm assuming the police department had some kind of basketball game/team and had official uniforms for the girls, so someone took her photo and Wesker happened to obtain a copy of it. I never denied that Rebecca wasn't hot as fuck, people that do are weird. She was a hot thin tomboy wearing a slutty choker, so you're gay if you look at that and don't want to fuck it.
It's great. It's better than the 4upgrade.It's so fucking awesome chief i want these people to stay in video games. I don't care about movies
If you ignore the remakes and compare it to RE7 and 8, i agree its an improvement on both action and survival horror, but both parts are still inferior to the remakes and the classic games.Grace plays like REmake 2 but worseLeon plays like REmake 4 but worseCare center was by far the best part of the game imo.Also, Wesker has never even met Leon personally. He's Chris rival. They are probably saving him for the next Chris game.
I refuse to believe anyone found this out legit. It had to have been datamined.
>>737006221You're so fucking mad. Look at you. >>737006248>monsters all preserve all their technical memories.Even the old zombies from Raccoon City that sometimes burst from solid concrete to attack you? Those would have been originals with no Elpis involved.
>>737004107Fuck, youre right
>>737006525it was
>>737003549Too bad the final battle with him was a letdown.
>>737006525I feel like people would've found it if it didn't require you to wait for those bodies to fall down. Who tf stands still for 15 minutes in a horror game
>>737004498Ink ribbons are a dumb mechanic. Especially if you can stack them in a storage chest that is conveniently placed right next to the save
>>737006549>You're so fucking mad. Look at you.I'm not the one writing out essays on how betrayed I am by the plot of a game series famously known for not having a real story.
>>737006705What's dumb about it? You have limited saves and have to spend blood, a precious commodity, to make more if you use them all.
>>737006698or flush a toilet 8 times with no prompt of any sort - especially as there is no reason to go back to said toilet once you've nabbed the green herb on the counter.
>>737007143I might lose progress and that is bullshit design.
>>737007143I feel like I have enough ink ribbons to save in between objectives so I’m just playing with one less inventory space as a challenge. And even if I did run out, I would be more concerned about saving so I can go back to irl chores rather than dying and losing progress
>>737007651I was fucking around in there flushing the toilet so I'd imagine someone could have done it (by accident)
mfw trying insane without any bonus items
>>736997132You are a literally a cuck.
>>737004114My first time playing doing all the side stuff took me half of thatwhat the fuck where you guys doing for 12 hours
>>737011060we're not dumb fucking speedfreaks. gotta go fast when you're an autistic retard in love with a hedgehog. Well I'm not. Is there a fucking rush? Does something happen if I don't make it in time? No, it doesn't, because this game isn't Greek Tragedy or TRAG. Not that you'd fucking know what those are. Fucking fruit loser.
>>737011181I didn't rush you absolute fucking retard, I took my time collecting everything an doing every sidequest and killing every enemy. I dont even like sonic
>>736997132But... Gideon isn't Russian... so...
>game gets cracked>100 of these "hey I know I missed the hype completely but I still want to talk about it after just finishing it 2 months late"you're not fooling anyone, I can smell the curry
>game gets cracked>100 of these "hey I know I missed the hype completely but I still want to talk about it after just finishing it 2 months late GUYS PLEASE" threadsyou're not fooling anyone, I can smell the curry
>>737004107kek I was already raising my eyebrow when it mentioned hard difficulty, this shithole website is truly dead
>>737011312You rushed and now you're pathetically trying to convince yourself you didn't ruin the enjoyment of the game by not slowing down and shutting the fuck up for once in your life. Rushing Retard. Speed Slut.
My first playthrough of the game was on classic and I missed only 2 raccoons and 4 files and my final time was 10h29m. How someone takes over 24 hours is beyond me unless they are dying constantly and having to redo sections over and over. It isn't like you lose massive amounts of progress as the autosave system is fairly generous,
>>737013438Well, dumb people commonly have difficulty comprehending basic things.
>Bros how come my time is different from other people's times shouldn't all times be the same times?
>>737013995>born a little too slow>gets madI can smell the curry.
>>737004107And mods wont do shit, because ragebait engagement is the new internet meta and bots are perfect for it.
>>737013438Little too fast. Speedrunners are trannies and that makes you a tranny.
>>736997132The whole point of Xeno is that he's a fake wannabe Wesker, which is pointed by Victor himself.
>>737014467Victor is a fake Spencer fanboy and Zeno is a fake Wesker fanboy.
>>737014673Zeno is not a fanboy and more like wannabe.
>>736997132eh the weakest part was the all the "remember RE2??????" bits of the game. the story would not be any lesser for it, plus the two big flashbacks are from RE2R, depicting events Leon never actually saw in the original continuity of RE2 which just rubs me the wrong way.
>>737014673>>737014793Does he even know who Wesker is, I don't know enough about the whole clone storyline, like he obviously knows he himself isn't normal but that doesn't mean he's trying to copy him beyond using his powers that he naturally has
the sheer amount of "find 2-3 macguffins to proceed" in this game was nauseating.
Literal AI OP you cant make this shit up
The only real bad part of RE Requiem is how much scripted setpiece segments there are to the point there are speedruns on how much you can fuck with stuff like the orphanage segment.
>>737005862you forgot>Leon just so happened to decide to avoid Emily's vitals when she transformed because reasons.>Emily didn't actually become the monster; she was just wearing a monster meatsuit ala AoT.
>>737014992What was with whole finding/doing everything in threes? Three quartz cubes, three levers to open the treatment plant roof, three parts to the detonator.
>>737015180If you try to deliberately shoot Emily's vitals when she's transformed Leon's aim will drift away from it automatically, so it's not THAT much of a contrivance.
>AI generated threadsWhy? Is this why the site has been running like shit the past 2 days?
>>737015301yeah but WHY wuld he bother? it's not like he knew that Elpis was a cure. and if there already was a cure then why does he and Sherry still have zombaids?
>>736997132>running through the Raccoon City ruins and the Ark felt like a fever dream in 4KAre fever dreams usually that boring?
>>737015301Yeah but why would Leon be doing that, he has no reason to believe she can be cured and even if he somehow did he still just leaves her presumably bleeding out, why would he not explain himself afterwards when Grace is upset about it that he didn't kill her, it is very contrived just to have Emily survive
>>737006221> these games aren't about the plotI get it, but the gameplay and level design are not good enough like the older games.
>zoomers now use AI to shitpost instead of thinking about it themselvesMotherfuckers even take the soul out of funposting. What the fuck is wrong with them.
>>736997132>Honestly?kill yourself faggot
Time will not be kind with this game. It's short and not replayable at allLeon handles worse than in REmake 4 and even OG RE4. Encounters are not well designed and there's not much variety. Replacing the merchant is a cardinal sin, and the weapons aren't really iconic or interesting. Bosses sucked ass this time too, and coming back to raccoon city was such a fucking waste. It should've been like coming back to shadow moses, but 95% of the time you can't even tell it's RC while you gather those generator parts. Only the arrival to the police station was good (VERY good)Grace's section is really good the first time around, and the hospital is well thought out, but again, not very replayableGame's hard carried by nostalgia and Leon being cool and wacky. Gideon's a good villain too, but went away too early. Wesker's clone is also wasted potential
>game is over a month old>/v/ hates it all of a sudden
>>736997132Is this like a double falseflag??? (shitposter pretends to be an astroturfing ai marketer)Impressive
>>736997132Here's a real post from someone that 100% the game:>StoryBorderline nonsensical. So the T-virus survivors are still slowly dying from the virus but it only started decades after Raccoon City? With the protagonists of the series having no symptoms in all of the previous games? How convenient.Yet, Leon is the only character from the franchise that shows up in the whole game? He's the only one dying from it even though Barry/Jill/Chris got infected before he did? Is the T-virus selective now?SPENCER of all things is a good guy at the end of the day and actually had enough conscious to create a vaccine? And somehow he was able to do it ages ago but no one else has been able to do it since with all the newfound knowledge of the viruses? Victor is a talking, cognitive Nemesis? What? Where did such a being come from? How were the other Nemesis all drooling retards if this one is a literal scientist? Oh yea and Xeno exists to bait Weskerfags and so people don't forget le CoNeCtIONs exists.>GameplayThe hospital is fine, the layout is one of the best in the series, Grace is a worthless bitch so she fits perfectly into the survival horror aspect of the series which makes her sections the best in the game imo. But here's the thing, her sections alongside the shitty pointless orphanage sequence makes subsequent playthroughs a complete chore.Leon sections are just bad, the parry is disgustingly overtuned to the point even Insanity mode becomes a joke, stealth kills are way too easy, the weapons on the floor stun any zombie enemy for an insta kill. Raccoon City is just a dull looking area, the Ark is just another sanitized looking lab like all the labs in recent games, none of the areas after the mid section is interesting to be in. And last but not least the weapons in this game outside of the Requiem are all fucking boring af, even the unlockable ones. --------
>>736997132>Honestly? Best the series has been since RE4.AHAHAHHAHA
----->>EnemiesOh boy this is easily the biggest cardinal sin of this game, there's a total of SIX normal enemies in the game, and only "two" of them are new, the shitty plants we kill in a single area and the special ops with guns that we also kill in a single area. The blister heads are straight up just crimson heads and unlike the plagas they never change.80% of this game or more is you shooting at zombie enemies, nonstop only zombie enemies. The fat fucks from RE6 show up like a total of 2 times, the plants one area, lickers 1/2 areas depending on what you do, gun dudes 1 area, the rest of the whole game? Zombie enemies that all do the exact same shit.Now the bosses. Cool fight with a Wesker rip-off? Nah. Pretty much reusing the final boss of RE3R? FUCK YEA!!! Reusing the tyrant boss fight from RE2R, OH HELL YEA!!!This game is the final nail in the coffin for JP games. JP developers capable of making good triple A games are long gone.
>>737015854Honestly the hospital section is very replayable in my opinion because of how much you can route and skip stuff using past knowledge, even being able to skip a door gem before the basement and letting leon clean house before you come back and get it. But yeah the other grace sections are ass.
>>737016586>I have to fight zombies in a zombie game AAAAAA IM GOING INSANEBOWniggers are so fucking annoying. RE's should be 99% zombies.

In fact, im even scared to call it AI because i assume AI would atleast ger the name of the characters right.
>>736997132>tfw you actually beat it in 6:20 on Hard>meanwhile the average redditor is still on the Ark puzzle rotating the statue like it’s a rubik’s cubeHonestly yeah, 6:20 is fast. Most normies are clocking like 8-10 hours because they spend half the game opening empty drawers and “soaking in atmosphere” (aka walking speed simulator).Game pacing is legit bipolar though.>first 2 hours: nothing happens>middle: finally starts cooking>ending: Capcom hits fast forward like the rent’s dueVillains were absolute bargain bin tier.Capcom had the easiest win imaginable:>bring back Wesker>let old man Leon fight him>internet explodesInstead we got Blond Edgelord and Vodka Scientist.8/10 gamewould’ve been 10/10 if I could suplex Wesker into a volcano again.
Well i'm not going to do this again.
