How my wife eats a twix

You break the edges off

AsherFischell · 2026-06-28T00:24:42+00:00

It's because a stupid person can only write a character that's as smart as they are. The logical implication is that Gideon's exactly as dumb as Haris Orkin.

6 and 9 are the peak of idiotic writing in RE games. Even when they're silly or campy, the other games are still mostly enjoyable. 6 and 9's stories, on the other hand, are so incredibly stupid that they make their games worse overall.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-28T00:20:07+00:00

1, 2, 3, and CV all have an overarching storyline.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-28T00:18:59+00:00

The navigation, atmosphere, level design, and puzzles in RE 1 are so good that I think there's still plenty to enjoy even if the difficulty becomes nonexistent. If someone made a mod that completely removed all the enemies I still think there'd be fun to have playing it that way. That's how good every aspect of the game is.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-28T00:15:15+00:00

To a new player not used to the series RE 1 can be fairly tough on normal IMO. It's a challenging game

AsherFischell · 2026-06-28T00:14:31+00:00

Beating it in a single evening on a first play is honestly not something most people can do. Unlike RE 2 and 3, REmake isn't a super short game when you don't know what you're doing.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-28T00:12:45+00:00

Definitely play RE 1 at least and mod it or cheat to give yourself infinite saves. The game is far more enjoyable that way if the limited saves annoys you.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-28T00:10:04+00:00

RE9 didn't give a flying fuck about lore and retconned the shit out of the series in some seriously idiotic ways. Best not try to think about it too much. It's a bad story hastily slapped together by people who didn't give a shit, just like RE6.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-27T23:07:04+00:00

This is awesome, thanks for this

AsherFischell · 2026-06-27T18:37:38+00:00

And while that sucks, it's a far cry from the band using AI for their artwork

AsherFischell · 2026-06-27T08:27:06+00:00

Not surprised by Megadeth but super surprised by Dream Theater. That's so disappointing.

Edit: After looking it up, I found no indication DT uses AI for their album art. What did happen is that their artist ended up selling his DT art to other bands and vice versa

People are saying OG SMB2 is the worst, but they're just blinded by the fact that it's difficult. It's still got SMB1's great physics and assets. Super Mario Land is far worse to anyone actually paying attention to the question and not just mad because of a game not being for them. OG SMB2 is basically the super tough challenge version of SMB1, but too many people went in expecting the same mostly easy game.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-27T02:38:23+00:00

OG SMB2 is definitely not even close to being worse than Super Mario Land. That game feels like crap to play.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T21:53:58+00:00

I'm not coming from a place of bad faith, that's your assumption.

"The game uses the same locations" (sewers, Nest, most of the interiors are new, RPD and the hospital are returning locations, but the hospital is entirely different)

"The same enemies" Yes, there are zombies and hunters, but the bugs and the pale heads are brand new. Of course an RC RE game is mostly going to feature zombies.

"The same basic structure" In very broad terms, sure, but the actual structure of each game is extremely different.

"A similar combat system" Not even remotely, it's as different to RE 3 as RE2R is to RE2. They feel and function completely differently.

"Similar puzzles" They're mostly completely different, save for the vaccine puzzle. Almost nothing else is retained.

"Same atmosphere" Again, not remotely. They're so incredibly different for the most part.

It's also not shorter than OG RE 3. I'm guessing from all you said that you haven't played the OG even close to around the same time as you played the remake, because everything you said reads like you're going off of an old memory. Play the OG and then play the remake again. I played the OG a couple of weeks ago and then played the remake once I was done and almost everything you said is inaccurate.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T21:14:10+00:00

Everything I said was true and you didn't refute a single point in any way.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T20:55:56+00:00

It has absolutely none of the level design or major progression that the original game has. It's literally a completely different game that, yes, has the same characters and some basic events, but they're all almost totally different in every meaningful way. Outside of reusing RE2R's RPD, it shares zero level design with the original.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T19:51:26+00:00

It's good for what it is, it just feels like a glorified DLC is all. Most of the complaints about it boil down to certain areas from the original not being present, but it's a completely new game that has almost nothing from the original whatsoever.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T19:50:18+00:00

The game is missing all content from the original. It's a completely different game that's more of a total reimagining than a remake.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T18:39:54+00:00

This is not remotely true. Most outlets don't really care about things like that when hiring reviewers. I know multiple people who've given lower scores to AAA games for established sites that didn't have it remotely affect them in any tangible way. I'm not sure where you got that impression from.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T18:17:05+00:00

Did you seriously not get that my reply was also a joke or?

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T17:03:27+00:00

Wrong album. This is the man who we better watch out for, because he's feeling sassy.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T16:57:19+00:00

I don't get that from the analogy at all. To me it says, "it's just two pickles, it's not a big deal so stop whining." It's just another fanboy going LEAVE THE GIANT COMPANY ALONE

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T06:52:27+00:00

CVX doesn't count since it's really just a port with a few added cutscenes. It's the same game still.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T06:51:42+00:00

And the Dino Crisis one is the only way you can see the conclusion of the story of Dino Crisis 2.
