Resident Evil 2 REmake (January 25, 2019)

[LoweGear]

The zombies are quite durable yes, it took several shots from a handgun to put one down. Even then, unless you completely destroy their heads they have a good likelihood of catching you off guard by suddenly coming back up later. It's easier to simply kneecap the zombies to cripple their mobility.

30 minutes was way too short for the demo, spent most of the time trying to figure out the solutions to the second floor puzzle as it ended.

Got an RE2 code by purchasing a Radeon. 7 hour marathon and I finished the Leon A scenario.

I measured my blood pressure afterwards, and all kinds of red lights went off.

Great remake, the RE7 engine is doing wonders to it.

One thing I can say about this game, as someone who loves to take his time exploring:

Fuck Tyrant.

Finished Leon A today as my first run. 6 hours. Standard mode.

That was 30 minutes ago. My hands are still shaking...

Playing on Hardcore New Game, and jeez this game is pretty unforgiving, 1 bite = Danger status.
Autosaves arent a thing either, so you have to think about when and where to save.

But so far Im having fun!

[MeoTwister5]

Finished Leon and Claire A scenarios Normal Mode today.

I think I'll take a break before I go do the B scenarios, preferably after I get some KH3 in my system to flush out the goddamned stress of this game before I get an a heart condition...

So tried out 4th Survivor Mode.... and if it tells me something, it's that I can't dodge zombies to literally save my life

This one's interesting since the details on the game via BTS reveal-like article after Yoshiaki Hirabayashi (Producer) went on record that the discussion was secretly taped.

It was on sale for Halloween so I finally got around to playing it. Got RE3 to.

It was a great remake, but it feels like it could have been much more. They actually didn't make very big changes gameplay wise. Switched to a shoulder camera which means you can now actually aim and that's about it. The gameplay felt pretty stiff, avoiding enemy attacks (especially lickers) is super awkward, and you can never sprint despite being chased by a scary big guy who can end you in two blows. Running at a light jog pace the entire game was super weird.

Another big missed opportunity is not making Leon and Claire's campaigns fit together. There are still plenty of inconsistencies. IMO it would have been better to keep the original campaign for Leon and have Claire go through a mostly different one. As in, having her explore another building than the police station but still end up in the NEST in the end.

I still ended up having a lot of fun when I wasn't shitting myself, but it's a bit of shame they didn't make bolder choices. Oh, and I didn't remember RE2 being this hard. Zombies just wouldn't die. So far RE3 is story mode compared to this.

Yeah, RE2 remake doesn't really want you killing the enemies, and you definitely can't on nightmare difficulty. There are good and bad places for planks, also some enemies you can outright avoid instead of fighting, otherwise you just get a headshot for a quick flinch before you run past, or two on the legs for a certain escape. As long as you know your route, it's much easier to plan ahead and save up enough ammo for all the bosses and stuff.

I need to start RE3, I'd bought it last year and didn't get a chance to play it for this halloween...

You should give it a try, it's only 5 or so hours long. I know people weren't too pleased with it but I thought it was a very fun action game. It looks gorgeous too, I thought it actually quite an improvement over RE2 visually.

[Kafriel]

I finished it. Started out not too hot, but I ended up liking it a lot. Hospital was super scary, the game's very fun to play once you figure it out and the replays are probably the most fun I've had in a LONG time. It makes the challenges actually feasible without being too hardcore, I'll definitely do no healing, no item box and all difficulties. Minimum score: 6.5/10.

Having never played the original, the remake was my first experience with 2. Gotta say the visuals kinda made Leon's face model look more shocked when compared to the 3D from the PSONE version. Probably the weirdest thing for me is Leon and Ada's relationship. I mean, for some reason Capcom wants them to use them together (even in Damnation and a crossover game) but it's definitely not a healthy relationship.

It has honestly never been a healthy one, ever. At all.
