We get the government we deserve.

Enjoy your bread and circus.

Having a little time to think on this game, its definitely a middle of the pack game. I can appreciate the premise of two separate resident evil styles being blended together, but I think the high point was the hospital. Wish they could have kept the pacing a little more even with exploration versus action. Grace was left with very little to do on the back end and her role ultimately didn't feel super consequential for me. You could have had a lucky guess to come up with 'hope' by reviewing some of Spencer's journals/musings in his final years.

I'm still laughing at 'not Wesker' being there simply to throw up a little fanservice until he gets unceremoniously decapitated. I figure he was just there to get people used to the idea of Wesker clones so they can find a way to resurrect Albert. Another fun theory I read is that since he was affiliated with the Connections, he could potentially have mold powers that elpis would not have cured and could potentially be 'saved' since mold monsters are damn near unkillable. Time will tell.
“Nah bruh, sales figures don’t mean anything. Microsoft is setting up for the kill shot!” - just a MS shill, probably.
In the grand scheme I wont miss ha I no access to most of their exclusives.

I would have liked to get a hold of Saros at some point, but oh well.

What's left to remake? Code Veronica, 5, 6, zero and maybe 1?

The list is running low. :lol: I am not opposed to any of these being done. Never played code veronica. 6 would be a challenge to "save" after the poor reception of it's original counterpart. selfishly, I wouldn't mind an over the shoulder action oriented remake of 1 but it really doesn't need it.

If anything, they ought to make an apology remake for 3 and give it away for free to anyone who bought that cash grab that they released initially. So much potential pissed away.

I dipped my toe into Insanity.

I am glad that I got the infinity ink ribbon already because the first large Grace area where you collect the quartz crystals is a fricking slog. I am progressing bit by bit and save scumming my way through it.

I have an infinite rocket launcher for the Leon sections, but I unfortunately did not have enough credits to get the universal infinite ammo unlock. Insanity zombies are stout and Freya's needle just pisses ammo away.

Evidently the puzzle has been solved.

I was skimming so sorry if it’s an elaborate hoax.

Alleged Solution

I played through my under 4 hour run in third person.

I was getting agitated with the amount of times Grace would eat shite while running from a threat. Early on, she fell flat on her face running to the fuse switch to open the gate while Marie was in pursuit. What a spaz. :lol:

I just got through a sub 4 hour speedrun without using heals or gathering any blood for crafting. That was rough. Props to my infinity knife. The real MVP.

It seemed odd to introduce a Wesker clone who was a high level member of the Connections only to barely scratch the surface of his character and then unceremoniously kill him off.

I assume that the Umbrella Commander was Hunk?

And I really don't buy Spencer's face turn. Seems like a bizarre retcon. He was talking about being 'a god' up until Wesker murdered him in 5. I guess maybe he was retconned into trying to posture in front of Wesker in order to appear strong? stupid, but whatever.

I don't really care much for the plot, but the gameplay was great. I really enjoyed the care center as an environment. The RPD section and the boss fight that immediately followed it were great.

The ARK was okay, but I was disappointed by the big 'elpis' reveal and the boss at the end felt kinda meh. Gideon and Zeno's plan seemed fricking retarded once all the cards were dealt.

Since the original thread exists, we could turn this into a spoiler thread.

It’s not a particularly long game. I’ve beaten my first playthrough.

I’ve got some thoughts, both good and bad.
Have a copy on steam. Waiting for preload.

Capcom has been on a mostly positive run since RE7 and I am expecting another good entry.
At this point, I am just enjoying the slow implosion.

They literally ruin everything they touch.

The only thing they’ve put out that generated hype and created positive media buzz was hi fi rush and they immediately shitcanned that studio.

360 capitalized on Sony’s ps3 pricing blunder.

Time has shown that was a one off stroke of luck that will not be repeated.

Sony owns the segment of console gaming that Xbox tried to compete in. We have had 10+ years of people building digital libraries. Nobody is switching back over to the Xbox ecosystem after jumping ship during the Xbox one era.
Figured we would have at least gotten a bloodborne remake out of them, but oh well.
I look forward to the movements coming out of schwarma booty
been playing around with some randos and leveling a warlock.

I've noticed that the fire mages are far and away the highest damage dealers. at least initially.

I had started off as a summoner/eldrich build. After being dead weight for about 25 levels or so, I used a respec to copy the fire mage builds I was noticing. I quickly surged to mid 40's. I've recently added some summon skills and I have started binding high level unique enemies. the bound summons seem much more helpful (offensively and defensively) than the initial options that you can generate at will.

Overall, after some tweaks, I'm enjoying the new class.
Yeah, I am close to wrapping up now.

It was decent but nothing really tops first area, imo.
Just got through the third area.

Once I locked in, it hasn’t been too bad difficulty curve wise.

Hope the fourth area is longer than the third.
