backtracking: the game
>>738949727it was fun fuck you
>the franchise*
I find this game's entire design philosophy just really tedious from top to bottom, but I say that with the original as my favourite RE
>>738949727>>738949765This is why 5 is the best game
>>738949758first playthrough was great.currently im on claire b and its literally the same fucking bosses and enemies.absolute cancer that they incentivize you to replay the same fucking levels with slightly different enemy placements just to get an extra 2 hour of scenes to understand sherry's story.its a 7/10 for me.
>>738949727I did leon b on nightmare yesterday, doing leon a on nightmare today , they just give you way too many ink ribbons. its the perfect game so far, and the zombies are the most realistic ever. its the closest thing to zombie movie experience probably.
>>738949727Shitty DEmake, that's all.Chopped down, visually and script-wise butchered, with zero replay value.The OGs are still timeless, way better paced, and fun to replay, over and over again.
re4 > re2both demake and OG wise
>>738949957I fucking HATE the modern "Angry guys with a skin condition" groaner zombies. The OG RE Z'ds were these pitiful meat marionettes, clearly reanimated and moving against their own will, but after 28 Days Later, it's all "GRRR KYAAH OOGABOOGA!!" shit.It also makes zero sense that you can chop off entire limbs with a single 9mm slug, but the same bullets magically bounce off the rotten skulls.
>>738949854This is one of the many reasons why it's a terrible de-make. The 1998 OG had four distinct campaigns with some interaction between Leon's and Claire's routes, that further increased the replay value. It's also pathetic how the demake made Ink Ribbons a Hardcore-only feature.
>>738950269jeebus anon, what do you want them to make the same game forever? I thought it was great its I'd say around up there with 1 and 2, remake is the third best one probably.
>>738949795based
>>738949957I'd probably rate the library scene with the tyrant around the most tense, if you dont know that can move all the trollies together you're fucked took me forever
>>738949727Mediocre timekiller - the game
>>738950734>jeebus anon, what do you want them to make the same game forever?Oh FUCK OFF with that gay ass triple-A fallacy, nigger. If you think even the OG PS1 trilogy is "exactly the same", then you are mentally ill and never played ANY of them.>I thought it was great its I'd say around up there with 1 and 2, remake is the third best one probably.Go chop off your dick with a chainsaw.Every single RE-Engine slop is insulting as hell modern AAA feces, and the RE2 DE-make was a fucking outrage. TWO DECADES we kept asking for THE REmake 1 treatment for RE2 and 3, and what do we get instead?A chopped down over-shoulder garbage #5916, with half the content removed, all the characters and atmosphere ruined, and zero fucking replay value.
>>738949727this and the puzzles ruined the game
>>738949727You people genuinely hate everything
>>738952825>no one is allowed to criticize games
>>738952358No way someone that was old enough to play RE1 and RE2 when they came out can be this angry into old age kek.anyhow ai generated or not I didn't really care about the remake , played it couple times , it was like RE0 okeyish.
>not a SINGLE counter point to the backtracking cancer in re2like why did they do this though? artificially inflate gameplay times? not even re4, biohazard, or village had this much backtracking.running from the sewers back to the police station just for the safes in stars and press room gets pretty tiring at the second run.
I can't handle playthrough 2, having this fucker chasing you THE ENTIRE TIME is ridiculous, you're just hauling ass nonstop with no time to breathe or think. He was great in his limited doses in my first playthrough, but if he's there the entire time it feels less like horror and more just like extreme stress. Also Claire's weapons seem way less interesting and straightforward than Leon's
>>738953013Mr. X dying was one of the highlights of playthrough 2 because it meant i could actually explore the police station.
>>738950269>magically bounce off the rotten skulls.They're not bouncing off. These aren't walking dead zombies, they can still function while missing big chunks of brain matter
>>738949727the only sin of this game is the fact that theres ZERO REPLAY VALUE because the bosses and enemies are all the fucking same in the different routes
>>738950983>if you dont know that can move all the trollies together you're fucked took me foreveroh my god i feel like a fucking retard
>>738949727"Backtracking" is actually a crucial aspect in survival horror; it's just a matter of executing it well.
>>738953163PT is a great example of this
>>738949854I just bought the game last sale and I had a similar experience.>aiming is fucking retarded on purpose, bullets don't go where they should unless you're completely stationary, and zombies wont die unless you shotgun them to the head so they're pretty worthless>lickers are the deadliest enemy in the game, worse than bosses, worse than everything, randomly they'll just fall out of the ceiling and take half my health even if I'm quiet>mr x is just an annoyance that just waits outside of save room doors/ item locations stalling the game>movement is terrible, leon swings around leans in different directions even after you stop putting any in any inputs>hardcore is absolutely miserable because of the needless save limits and the immortal zombies and 9000mph lickers>the bosses in this game all fucking suck>bonus modes just spam enemies that you aren't equipped properly to kill, just trial and error and not funHow'd this game get an overwhelmingly positive rating?
>>738953163RE2make does not.>hurr durr the explosion knocked over the shelf now you have to walk all the way around hahainb4>you can stop it from falling by standing in the wayI'm using it as an example of the pathetic design and intent from the devs
>>738953227all i'm reading are skill issues
>>738953449I've beaten actual hard games with 0.1% steam player achievement rates. This isn't hard it's just tedious.
>>738953449YOU MADE A BAD GAMETHE GAMER DON'T LIE
Insane how they butchered this dude, made Jill an annoying cunt and Carlos a fuckin geek.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgmFDjA8lxU
>>738953227>aiming is fucking retarded on purpose, bullets don't go where they should unless you're completely stationaryBecause you're meant to be completely stationary you idiot. The original games didn't even let you move when shooting.Lickers are supposed to be hard, zombies are supposed to be tough to kill and Mr. X was awesome. I don't care if you still beat the game the fact you had problems with these things makes you sound like a massive bitch.
i miss the laser sights from 4 so much... every RE game should have them
I le heckin love it when I need to pick up a mandatory puzzle piece but I cant because my inventory is full so I have to run all the way back to a save area.>>738953681>Because you're meant to be completely stationary you idiot.RE4 original was my first resident evil game. The lack of movement when aiming was offset by the fact that Leon didn't sway and lean like he was drunk like RE2re
>>738953342>hurr durr the explosion knocked over the shelf now you have to walk all the way around hahaOr just lift it? It only exists to help force the player to interact with the Licker.
>>738953681I didn't have problems. I even beat hardcore without the magnum. The game is just bad.
>>738953013he stops being stressful and becomes annoying almost immediately. I don't understand this obsession with stalker enemies in every RE game, at best they are a lazy way to re-use level design without actually changing anything.
>>738953914> I even beat hardcore without the magnumNigger did you not read?>don't care if you still beat the game Are you not only a massive bitch but also a massive bitch that can't respond accordingly?
>>738954003holy fuck you're just like those retarded nomralfaggots crying on the crowbcat video kill yourself subhuman
>>738954053>no argument
>>738954098>implying you ever had one
>>738953973Why do people keep saying "re-use level design" and backtracking for what's basically an open-level design? Are people really trying to spin having an actually interesting level with everything interconnected as a bad thing?
>>738953776>RE4 original was my first resident evil game.kek
>>73895026928 days later style agressive and super viral zombies made more sense for post apocalyptic settings because slow zombies would just be easily contained.
>>7389498375 in coop was amazing
>>738949854yep i dropped the game after leon b first birkin fight, don't know how the fuck this game is praisedplayed re2og after a month of me dropping the remake and did both runs and had fun in themi'm not saying the hate towards re3r isn't justifiable but re2r should've gotten more hate just like 3 for making the b run so bad
>>738954390re2 got a pass because popular streamers made vidoes screaming running from mr.x and those dogshit x gone give it to you memesthat's literally the key to having a popular franchise with normgroids, streamers soifacing on camera
>>738954243"You're supposed to stand still to aim" was an argument, so was everything else I said that the anon failed to respond to.Anon's problem is that he relied far too much on "but I beat the game!" as some great defence for his bitching. Look at how he even prepared some faggy achievement screenshot. So the second I denied that as an actual argument he 404'd because that was the only defense he planned on having. Instead of actually responding to what I said.
>>738954596I posted the achievement screenshot as proof that I've beaten it played through it a few times. You just proceeded to crime and call me a casual even though I've completed more of the game than 70% of players.
if re2remake was released in 2026, crowbcat would be shitting all over it.
>>738954809there was actually a big re2r hate video but the creator was a girl i think and got a lot of hate after a streamer reacted to it and deleted it + begged everyone who reuploaded to delete it too
>>738954697And you're doing it again kek, complete case of only having a hammer and only seeing nails.Questions for you, why can't you actually respond to what's been said to you? Why is "but I beat the game" the only argument you know?
>>738954887https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFGDvXnrTSI
>>738954246There's nothing wrong with backtracking if every time you move through areas there's something new to think about, slapping an annoying stalker who just makes you run through it is the laziest way to alter your experience of the map.
>>738954938You called me a bitch out of seethe that I insulted your streamer's favorite game. There's not really any argument there.
Reminder that Demake 2 lovers are gay little sissies>DLC releases a month after the game and makes the game actually difficult >To even unlock the fourth Ghost Survivor requires you to beat some of the games only difficult content>Only 6% of players have this achievementDemake 2 lovers confirmed for fucking casuals. Zoomers can't handle slurs, but can they handle a casualized remake?Oh wait no, they can't handle this either.Demake 2 lovers are honest to god the fucking worst fake video game fans in the history of video games, and I'm including Earthbound and Undertale fanboys in this. Putting Mr. X in A scenario is a sign of the dumbing down of our times because people can't anticipate and wait for the cool thing to happen. They need the cool thing to happen NOW, not later when they could appreciate the differences, but RIGHT FUCKING NOW.
>>738949727Then go play Dying Light or some shit, you invasive faggot, and quit trying to claim ownership over my franchise.I’m so sick of you miserable cunts trying to come into a space where you are neither needed nor wanted, and turn Resident Evil into something that it isn’t. At the end of the day, you just want to be part of something popular, but are incapable of being stimulated if you aren’t constantly shooting something in the face. The solution: shit it up for everyone who was already here.
>>738955000Yeah I get they weren't nails so you already forgot about them. Here you go.>Because you're meant to be completely stationary you idiot. The original games didn't even let you move when shooting.>Lickers are supposed to be hard, zombies are supposed to be tough to kill and Mr. X was awesomeI'll even substantiate what I said about Mr. X a bit more and point out you're literally wrong about him dwelling outside safe rooms, he fucks off pretty quickly when you're in one.
>>738955187>Lickers are supposed to be hard, zombies are supposed to be tough to kill and Mr. X was awesomeLickers are fucking retarded. On my first hardcore playthough where the lickers drop from the ceiling in the Umbrella lounge one just instantly started running at me and lunged despite being quite, I lost all of my health and had to shoot in then got swarmed by the second and died. The element of randomness and leon's sluggish movement ruins the game. Also on the subject of randomness, killing too many enemies or going too long without being hit makes artificial difficulty turn on, which gives enemies more health and this is what causes the memes about zombies taking 20 headshots to kill, which makes it even funnier when the main cast kill zombies with one headshot in every cutscene. Mr. X is retarded dogshit and you can't do anything without him walking up on you, not scary just tedious.
>>738955360>On my first hardcore playthough where the lickers drop from the ceiling in the Umbrella lounge one just instantly started running at me and lunged despite being quite, I lost all of my health and had to shoot in then got swarmed by the second and died.Yeah travelling through a corridor isn't supposed to be risk-free. You're supposed to weigh the risk when you're taking a route with filled with them.>Mr. X is retarded dogshit and you can't do anything without him walking up on you, not scary just tedious.I love it. Easily the most fun I had from the remake, the idea of something constantly after you is just really exciting. And it as a constant real-time element instead of everything politely waiting for you to come near to be a threat.. Seriously criticising Mr. X is a one-way ticket to having your opinion be deemed worthless in my eyes.
>>738955950mr.x is scary for the first 5 minutes and then just an annoyance, it's the truth
>>738949957also I alawys have the original soundtrack and effects on, maybe even put some horror movies ost on like dawn of the dead
>>738949727I quit the game when I noticed that I couldn't kill Mr. X.The fun ended at that point. I realized the developers' intention and was annoyed.
>>738953153You're for that taking you forever not that typing
>>738949727I'd like to backtrack to the day you were born and strangle you with your own umbilical cord.
>>738949727this franchise fucking sucks, the only good ones are Resident Evil 4, 5 and 6 everything else is fucking shit. God Requiem was so fucking mid I didn't even beat it. Bring back Lost Planet, now that's a fucking golden franchise. God I hate this overrated piece of shit franchise so much.
>>7389578585 and 6 are awful, 5 especially. Ive played basically every RE game since 4 and I never really liked the series till I played RE2R.
>>738957992I'm real sorry for your retardation
STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP
Out of all the things to complain about, I didn't see one mention of the retarded dynamic difficulty bullshit or the terrible negative acceleration on mouse movement, both which require 3rd party mods to patch out.Also the retards that think re5 or anything after that is good, shame on you and fuck you for being a normie faggot who ruined the franchise.
>>738958634>terrible negative acceleration on mouse movementnobody here is retarded enough to play an RE game on a keyboard.
>>738950130>The OGs are still timelessThis was never true. I remember people couldn't wait until the RE2 remake after REmake blew everyone's minds.
>>738950348>The 1998 OG had four distinct campaignsLmao, at the end of the day, all four campaigns ended the same way.
>>738957992Resident Evil 6 has the best GAMEPLAY in the series, and anyone who doesn't agree didn't get the sloppy from the jiraffe on the logo. I did, several times.
>>738949727Ran on my 950m laptop.Did an update never worked again
>>738953007>running from the sewers back to the police station just for the safes in stars and press room gets pretty tiring at the second run.this is optional, no?
>>738959967yeah but it was paired with the worst game in the series, none of the levels synergise with any of the advanced mechanics.
>>738959967Maybe, but the campaigns (where you'll spend your first dozen hours) are utter dogshit where you're constantly hitting QTEs and running through scripted setpieces. You won't experience the pure gameplay until you start playing the bonus game modes. Also it controls way differently from 4 and 5, so while you may see that as a good thing, I hate how it barely builds off of the solid foundation those two games had.It's like if DMC6's campaign was riddled with unskippable dialogue and squeezing through crevices but it plays like an enhanced version of God Hand. It would definitely be a lot of fun to play, but you'd only be able to enjoy it in Bloody Palace, and it wouldn't really be DMC anymore.
>>738949727backtracking isn't a bad thing when the level design is good
>>738961278backtracking is bad when the guy playing your game already did it three times and now your asking him to do it another four for the sherry ending.
>>738961278>good level design>re2 sewers LOL
>>738949727>Even a modern remake still gets complaints about it having back trackingDo you niggas just want the game to play by itself, how impatient are you fags
>>738949727Backtracking isn't inherently a bad thing, honestly the excessive parts end up more like a punishment for those that don't know what they're doing til they get better at routing these games, and an optional treat regularly for those that remember where to go for specific things they passed by before. And if you're not playing on easier difficulties, you're probably not clearing out every single enemy, so every unnecessary backtrack becomes another potential risk.
