>>737173616America is asleep right now you dope
>>737173693What does that have to do with anything? Assuming that only Americans play this game, does that mean they’ve been sleeping for 30 days?
>>737173616I'm in the first 3 hours and the game is already a disjointed experience that tries to appeal to both fans without reaching a solid medium. The Grace parts are okay but the first person camera feels like an afterthought and Grace herself is the most annoying thing on the planet. Somehow Ethan with his lack of dialogue ends up being more human than Grace comically whimpering and stuttering all the time. Then it gets to Leon and suddenly the game is light RE4, make up your own mind Capcom.
>>737173836It's a single player game, what do you think happens when people beat it, you incredulous retard? RE 4&2 have cult followings. There are thousands of people whose first Resident Evil game was Requiem and want more. Stop being such an intellectually dishonest faggot.
>>737173616It tried to be both 2 and 4, but ended up being neitherIf there were two, separate playthroughs with both grace and leon, that are both fleshed out, there might have been a good gameBut why bother when the name alone sells the game
>>737173852>the first person camera feels like an afterthoughtActual retardation. Grace's environments are clearly designed around a first person perspective just like RE7/8 were and 3rd person feels tacked on if anything.>Grace herself is the most annoying thing on the planet. Somehow Ethan with his lack of dialogue ends up being more human than GraceGrace is not annoying and also comparing her to the biggest gigachad in the franchise isn't really fair. Her voice acting is really good and sells the scared girl in over her head but trying to be brave idea very well.>Then it gets to Leon and suddenly the game is light RE4That's the entire point, it is supposed to build tension during the Grace sections then release that tension with action in the Leon sections. It's like the entire design of the game and explicitly mentioned in any advertising material about the game.
Im having a blast with voices cracked version thoughbeit.
>>737174067>it's like the entire design of the game I'm an indie dev. I understand game design, much better than you. Don't talk down to me again.
>>737173836Anon if we have to explain to you that England is the size of Alabama which is just one of our states that isn't even the biggest in terms of size you might not want to ask about sales in general.
Failure by what metric?
>>737174067>It's like the entire design of the game and explicitly mentioned in any advertising material about the game.Yeah and the design sucks. Capcom plays it way too safe for cheap mass appeal when a sincere attempt like RE7 was anything but safe.
>>737174252>I'm an indie dev. I understand game design>Translation: I wasted money at Full Sail and I'll never finish my project because I rather be on /v/
>>737173616The 2nd half of the game is complete dogshit which ruins any replayability
>>737174320In terms of sacrificing their direction into unlikeable characters.
>>737174005>RE 4&2 have cult followingsThose people all bought Requiem
>>737174423I didn't buy Requiem, you don't speak for me. I have disliked Resident Evil since 7. They're going down the modern Final Fantasy route and I fucking hate it.
I tried playing it today and it feels like RE6 with Outlast sections tacked on. Every game crapcum released since the RE2 demake plays almost exactly the same, it sucks.
>>737174530I don't really see the comparison because 6 atleast have different perspectives and different interactions and playstyles. It reminded me of Sonic Adventure.
>>737174530Grace's gameplay is nothing like Outlast thougheverbeit and this is a poor attempt to engagement farm
>>737173616Doesn’t Re2 and Re4 have different scenarios so the replay ability is higher.
>>737173616GODmake 4 is simply timeless and mogs every RE game ever made including the originals.Numbers don't lie.
>>737174423Great job repeating what I said you fucking moron. Christ, this board.
>>737174676RE4 doesn't
>>737174715>Numbers don't lieThat doesn't even make sense. Just because something sold well doesn't mean it was good. Sonic 06 sold sold 870,000 and was one of the few games that was released during the release of new consoles.Is that a good number? Considering it was out when the PS3 and 360 were brand new it's certainly a miracle. Doesn't mean it wasn't terrible.
>>737174835We're not talking about sales here, a bad game can sell fast but drop off immediately once people figure out it's bad. Meanwhile GODmake 4 has consistently had the highest player count out of all RE games everyday for 3 years. You can't argue against quality that attracts this many people specially for a single player game.
>>737175154Resident Evil was never good until 4 because it stopped being Resident Evil.
>>737174304How does this relate to the population?
The only reason Re4 remake has players right now is because of RE9. Are you people just pretending to be retarded?
>>737175307Well this might shock you but if you think companies are just as concerned in England's sales vs an actual huge power house where most companies get their money from (Because it sure as hell won't be from Russia), I have some news to tell you: England can't keep anything afloat like AAA companies, Americans keep major companies relevant.
>>737175348Bait used to be believable or funny. You are neither.
it's cool game but there's not much reason to keep playing it after you beat it and it's like 6 hour game so it doesn't take months for even the most casual player that plays 1 hour a week to beat
>>737175450Go look at the date for when RE4 player numbers went way up you absolute retard
>>737173616>single player game aimed at gamer dads and journalistsIf I had to guess, people beat it.
>>737175715You mean "went back up".>dur ur a retard.No you're just numbers obsessed but refuse to figure out why franchises that comes out with a sequel, people want to replay or potentially invest in said franchise because it has went back into people subconscious.You know when the best time to try and find old well established franchise items on ebay? When it's not in most people's minds. When a new sequel is released like with super heroes for example, suddenly you have people going online to look for like minded products they were not going to until they were reminded.I understand you 20 something years old have this grand delusion that you were born blessed with the knowledge about everythiing but I think you're just annoying actual people.
>>737173616Everyone is just playing the Leon games after being introduced to Leon and RE for the first time with Requiem.
theres no replay value whatsoever
>>737173852Oof re4 is the worst re game ever made (including the og)
>>737173616RE4/remake is an extremely replayable game with good pacing. RE9 is not. No other RE game will ever be as replayable or have combat as good as RE4, unless it's another RE4 remake.
>>737176716>>737175450
>>737176809What are you talking about? Resident Evil Revelations does.
>revelations 2>overseerZAMN is she single
>>737174378I don't think the game has great replay value overall but how the hell is Leon's section of the game the less replayable part? It's entirely combat focused and has a lot of weapon options. While Grace is just a lot of trial and error, which is not very interesting on a second playthrough.
>>737174676If you want to count Ada's Separate Ways campaign, technically. It also has mercenaries mode. But RE4 and the remake is also just a very replayable game because it's nonstop gameplay, and you get a lot replay value out of the merchant system, upgrading different weapons and having different loadouts every playthrough.
>>737173616>>737173836You accepted defeat the moment you tried to hide stats that proved your seething wrong.No better than a reddit or Twitter post trying to push a narrative.
>>737174835Nigger you're acting like sales and player count is the only thing people are considering and not the fact that RE4 is just one of the best games of all time. The OG did not sell particularly well even if you combine the GC and PS2 sales, but they ported it to so many consoles and its popularity only grew over the years, to the point that eventually it sold a lot overall.
>>737177207I'm not OP but if you think this is as deep as "twisting narratives" and some other tin foil hat nonsense, I think you take video games a bit too seriously.
>>737177232This is going to shock you but you'll never convince me no matter how many sales or other people like it. That doesn't mean I'll suddenly enjoy it. That's some hivemind shit (or las plagas? See what I did there?)
>>737176916Literally no one talks about or praises Revelations, wtf are you talking about? And I say that as someone who bought it on release on the 3DS. Solid but forgettable game, I couldn't even remember who the villain or the final boss was. The sense of progression sucks with inventory system and constant switching episodes, and it feels like you're playing a regular shooter.
>>737177472I literally just mentioned Revelations anon.>No one talks about that!Probably because most of you are casuals and don't actually play many games or even have much fandom in your blood to want to stick with a franchise.
>>737177472>and it feels like you're playing a regular shooter.Which is what Resident Evil became once it started to lose it's identity.
>$80lolI'll wait till it's $10 or $20 like I have for all the recent RE releases. They get sliced down by 75% usually inside of a year, what's the point?You also buy at it's absolute worst, before bug fixes, with all the content they ripped out of it to drip back in as DLC, it's just a generally bad idea.
>>737177690>I'll wait till it's $10 or $20 like I have for all the recent RE releases. They get sliced down by 75% usually inside of a year, what's the point?>You also buy at it's absolute worst, before bug fixes, with all the content they ripped out of it to drip back in as DLC, it's just a generally bad idea.It's shocking the amount of people lack the ability to wait. It's like those people who line up for new consoles just to buy it at it's peak pricing just to have the honor of beta testing for the company.
>>737177741I can half understand for specific titles, or multiplayer-centric games, because if you wait for them you're behind and at a distinct disadvantage. Not that I play many MP games, but those I can at least wrap my head around.But single player games? There's no real reason, I guess maybe to be involved in discussion at it's highest? But that's a pretty lame reasoning.
>>737177615There's still nothing that plays quite like an RE game. The resource management, inventory, and finer details of the combat set it apart from a generic shooter. Revelations felt generic because it just felt like you were playing levels and your resources are constantly reset. There's little survival involved.
>>737177815I agree about the multiplayer part. But with single player games It's basically like a social fomo to some people I guess.I never talk to anyone else in real life about my video games because most people I know don't give a shit about my hobbies because I don't feel the need to tell anyone that personal stuff.My sisters fiance has to play only games his buddy plays and doesn't care about anything else.
>>737177851So I guess you never heard of Dead Space before or something?Is it casual hour on here or something? Do you play video games?
>>737177851Silent Hill? Never heard of that one either kid?
>>737177851Dino Crisis
>>737173616>Game tries to please everyone with Grace and Leon sections>Even then, you get stopped by playing the little girl sections for plot>Tries hard the fanservice and lives in the shadow of the previous games>Not enough variety in Leon gameplay sections so it feels like RE4 on a diet on top of it being too short>Retcons Oslwald E. Spencer into a misunderstood guy
It will pick up once merc mode drops in may.
>I will make a thread where I try to claim that the most successful game in the series by a large margin is a failureWhat was OPs objective here exactly?
>>737173836Because America is one of only 10 countries on planet earth that actually matter
>>737173616It'll be above both next month with new content drop and then in September with the expansion. Cope
>>737177279>twisting narratives" and some other tin foil hat nonsense, I think you take video games a bit too seriously.>He says in a steam chart thread.
>>737178701so?
>>737176871It is>big villian umbrella>killed off screen>removed fixed camera angles>removed zombiesRe4 is a great game, but like everyone else says, its not resident evil
>>737173616The people who played Requiem are now moving on to RE4 for a similar fix.
>>737173616Game was mediocre with one of the worse stories ever
>>737177962Played the demo on the 360 because everyone was saying it was like RE4, some even saying it's better. It was shit, and no still very different in the setting and mechanically.
>>737173616Too expensive for a 10 hour long game.
>>737173852Grace's half is fantastic and easily holds its own against RE 1 and 2. It's only Leon's half that doesn't feel great, and even then it's still alright. Grace = 10/10 RE1+2 experienceLeon = 7/10 RE4 experience
