Re: Resident Evil 2 (2019)

I haven't played it in a really long time I just have a memory of it being a lot shorter than say REmake or CV. Interesting. This type of thing obviously varies from player to player, but based on my own playthroughs, I would say RE3 is actually longer than REmake. Although that's probably because ...

Re: Resident Evil 2 (2019)

I do remember the RPD section being really short which I always mention when people say it will be easy to do a remake as they already have half the assets from the RE2 remake. It's really not true. I haven't played it in a really long time I just have a memory of it being a lot shorter than say RE...

Re: Resident Evil 2 (2019)

So the ideal play-route is Leon A / Claire A then? Just don't wanna waste my time on the "wrong" chapter. Also, in regards to the continuing arguments about difficulty, I'm not going to invoke the spirit of "git gud", because that's not helpful. But playing on Standard, I only ha...

Hey folks, I'm streaming Kingdom Hearts 3 for the next few hours at twitch.tv/PyramidHeadcrab if you wanna tune in and see if it's your jam or not.

Re: Volume Eight

Pilotwings 64 has never been rereleased, we believe due to complex/expired tech licensing issues - so it’s original hardware or emulation. As for Paradroid and its sequel, I do have a C64 and an Amiga here but it’ll be PC emulation for ease and convenience. I’ve not had hands-on with any of the plu...

So uh... You know how a certain big fella makes big clompy footsteps as he stalks you all around? He's killed me three god damn times tonight and I am getting quite, quite, quite fed up with him.

Re: Resident Evil 2 (2019)

I feel like I wound up liking this game more than most of the other users here. I'll need to give some time to mull it over, but RE2make may damn well enter my Top 25 list. It's certainly Top 3 Resident Evil after REmale and *maybe* Code Veronica. If nothing else, it really highlights just how not-h...

Yeah, I was just doing Joint Health and Safety Committee training up in Barrie, and someone on the floor above the classroom started clamping around in nearly the same rhythm, and I damn near shit myself.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Are you boarding up the windows and using sealed rooms effectively? :X Cuz that's the key. Simply being in shelter will not guarantee survival - it'll blast through kerosene way faster if there's an open door or shattered window. Once you get into the flow of things, you should find a good balance t...

Re: Games Completed 2019

Just beat RE2make and all I can say is... WOW. I don't think it's quite as good as REmake for a handful of reasons, but I think it will most likely end up surpassing Code Veronica as my second favourite in the series. It stays close to the original in all the ways that matter, but modernizes everyth...

Re: Games Completed 2019

27th Jan - Captain Toad Treasure Tracker (Switch) I started playing this when it came out on the Switch, but it got put on the back burner due to a million other games coming out. But over the past week I went back to it and polished it off, and I'm so pleased I did. Towards the end of the game my ...

but it wound up being my favourite action scene of the game so far. Little Crash Bandicoot boulder section followed by meat shower? Oof. "Chew on that, you sum'bitch."

Re: Resident Evil 2 (2019)

Played through Claire's over the weekend, and finished a Leon 2nd Run No Damage yesterday. Very conflicting emotions... but I think it is an excellent game in its own right. Original soundtrack option is a shameless cash grab, but nevertheless worth every penny. Edit: Btw, it looks like the "2...

Re: Game suggestions for the podcast

Unsurprisingly that is already on the list. Any show on it is a minimum of two years away however. I detect some Leon-Leon nepotism going on here. Hecc. As a ballpark guess, as a percentage, how many of the previous recommendations will end up being full episodes? I know I did a big ol' list when I...

Re: Gaming Goals for 2019

You say that, but after Left Alive comes out in March, I don't really see anything particularly interesting on the horizon. At least for my personal interests. Maybe Code Vein, if it can deviate enough from the Souls formula to be accessible for me... But otherwise, I'm hoping this will be a big ol'...

Now, come on. I really don't know why you didn't you just say 'I didn't mean mechanics, I don't care about mechanics' in the first instance, instead of obfuscating the discussion for hours with some call to 'subjectivity'. In future, perhaps you would consider simply holding your hands up, acknowle...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

An update for anyone who's curious - RE2make DOES have streaming disabled through the PS4, which is BS. This won't be an issue for anyone using a capture card and splitter to bypass the copyright BS, but running through my capture card means I can't play in HDR and 4k sooooooo... I'll just have to g...
