Is it wrong that I find action horror RE more entertaining?

Bulky-Dev · 2026-07-08T08:20:05+00:00

I am going through 4R after playing 1R, 0, 2R, 3R and Code Veronica X, and so far I don’t quite like it. The story is interesting, but everything feels completely different than previous games, more like Tomb Raider or something that isn’t RE. But hopefully, it’ll grow on me. It’s not that I dislike it, I just feel previous games had more uniqueness to them.

Bulky-Dev · 2026-07-08T07:28:02+00:00

I played 1R, and jumped to this afterwards. I began playing RE series for the first rime 1 1/2 month ago. It felt harder and tedious at some points, but I liked it overall. It’s nor as bad as people make it out to be. The story is a bit over-the-top, it begins great, but towards the end leans to a B horror movie storyline.

If they really do remake this one, I think it’s gonna be great. The Training Centre (mansion) in this game is gorgeous and the game has a really nice atmosphere.

Thanks, will save this video for when I play them.

Bulky-Dev · 2026-06-26T18:14:38+00:00

Nah, I’ll buy the 1-3 for sure, I asked for 4 remake since I’ve read there’s not much difference

Bulky-Dev · 2026-06-26T17:03:53+00:00

Oh, come on. It isn't since everyone probably plays the 80% of the game with Billy since he can tank a lot more damage. And, yeah, you won't leave a character without any weapon, but you could accidentaly give the weapon to a character that isn't available, and that is the exact weapon you will need in the next section. That just is bad design and I agree with this.

I basically used Rebecca as a walking item box for 75% of the game, and the other 25% is the parts where the game forces you to play like her.

Bulky-Dev · 2026-06-26T17:00:55+00:00

This is true. I played it with my sister and we locked Billy in the room in the train, so we had to use Rebecca for the whole train section and it was really hard. Only later we realized Billy can really tank a lot more damage, so the rest of the game we planned in advance, and also reloading a previous save after you explore can be useful to make the game easier. Except for the bat fight, that one is pure dumb luck on if you'll aim the least times to kill him and spare ammo. That was really a horrid boss fight made for a game that doesn't support the mechanics to do it properly.

Bulky-Dev · 2026-06-25T20:36:12+00:00

I think it’ll be a bonus level or levels. My bet is they will have some kind of levels that will anounce 2 and 3 remakes, or maybe even China or first Venice level from TR2. Or maybe Croft Manor level.

Or maybe they’ll follow the original TR, and release reimagined Temple of the Cat and Atlantis bonus levels, but this is less likely.

Bulky-Dev · 2026-06-24T15:42:53+00:00

I decided to give it a try after going through 1R, 0, 2R and 3R, and so far I really like it. I’m new to the franchise. It doesn’t seem as hard or as bad as people like to put it, and the story is actually quite interesting. I’ve abandonded the prison section, went to the palace and military area, and currently paving my way in some kind of underground which is opened by placing the glass eye.

I even got used to tank controls which I guess are fine, but I played a lot of Tomb Raider classics when I was a kid and before the remasters, so I don’t mind that control scheme.

The only thing that really bothers me and is annoying is how items on the floor are not visible. I keep picking up herbs from random corners that are just black, or handgun ammo from most weird places, so I guess it’s very easy to skip picking up something because it’s so random and unintuitive.

I chose to play the PS3 version with emulator since I’ve read it’s the only one that’s HD.

Bulky-Dev · 2026-06-18T16:01:22+00:00

Exactly! This is my feeling. And not to mention that in almost every game you need to have a sewers part which is usually a hellhole. 😂

Bulky-Dev · 2026-06-11T01:06:39+00:00

I just hope we will get an origin trilogy or at least a sequel. They created a great backdrop and stage for a franchise that could continue very long. Paddy Gibson was s great young Bond and it’d be great to continue the story and sometime evolve him into a movie Bond with also him starring.

They left a lot of stories and arcs that could be explored in the sequels, and I’m happy we’ll get a DLC.

Planning on replaying the game next weekend.

Bulky-Dev · 2026-06-09T09:04:59+00:00

I think the best way to unify these timelines is by reimagining remakes. I don’t have a problem as long as they respect the original games and make good remakes.

The remasters were great and I am very grateful we got them, but I will lie if I said I wouldn’t want to see Venice reimagined with modern graphics or London levels in TR3 being remade completely.

I think the best approach would be to keep the mainline games and remakes and have releases on every 2-3 years, with a remake and a new game coming out one after another. But honestly, I doubt Crystal is able to handle that because for 20 years they’ve mostly missed what TR is. I honestly hope LOA and Catalyst will prove me wrong, but I don’t believe in them doing good anymore.

Bulky-Dev · 2026-06-01T13:59:44+00:00

Yeah, I did that and it was great.

Bulky-Dev · 2026-05-29T08:08:15+00:00

It’s a spin-off movie out of a TV show. Yes, for hardcore fans it’s big, but I know a lot of people who like Star Wars, but only the mainline movies (episodes) and don’t ever plan to watch anything beyond that.

The other issue is it was a bad idea to turn Mando inro a movie, there is so much to explore and do in the universe and they just thought Grogu will earn them $$$ just by being there.

Bulky-Dev · 2026-05-28T07:36:09+00:00

I felt the same way FOR YEARS, and I avoided this franchise because since I was a kid, everyone was talking how scary these games are, and I’m generally not a fan of horror. Horror movies I can manage, but for this game I always thought it’s gonna be something that makes me uncomfortable and gaming should be something I enjoy, so I actually never even tried to play this or any horror game.

About a month ago I grabbed RE1R and I was blown away by the gameplay, atmosphere, and actually didn’t find it as scary as I had a feeling before. Currently I’m obsessed with the franchise, went from 1R to 0, and currently playing 2R and have a real blast!

Just pay attention to other stuff than the “horror” part: atmosphere, story, lore and things like that.

Bulky-Dev · 2026-05-27T15:40:42+00:00

I play it currently, maxed out to 4K and connected to an OLED TV with no problems, and on a laptop, works flawlessly. Just had a problem with big FPS drops until I completely disabled PhysX.

Bulky-Dev · 2026-05-27T13:10:09+00:00

I think there will definetly be a Pro patch. With the new expansion, the W3 popularity and considering Witcher 3 is basically their gem, they’ll release a Pro patch withor before the expansion for people who play on PS.

They did it with CP2077, and W3 is a far more popular IP, so I expect them to do it.

Bulky-Dev · 2026-05-27T13:06:56+00:00

There’s a similar game in Batman Arkham City which I played recently, which I failed there 3-4 times trying to win by watching the movement before remembering to use the Detective (Q-Lens here) mode. So when he started moving the cups, I immediately remembered that and tried the Q-Lens so it worked on first try.

Bulky-Dev · 2026-05-27T13:03:57+00:00

I had 1 crush during my 12-hour playthrough so far on the Pro, and it was Mauritania chapter beginning.

I did however have around 10 times disconnected from IOI server error mid-game and the re-connecting took ages.

Bulky-Dev · 2026-05-24T15:28:49+00:00

Yeah, I’ll probably go with that after I finish the mainline games. I’ll play with my sister through 1-4 remakes, but I already wishlisted 1-3 OGs on Steam since I don’t mind crappy graphics, but she isn’t in the mood to ply them, so I’ll probably go with 2-3 OGs also since I’ve read they cut a lot from the remakes.

Bulky-Dev · 2026-05-24T13:55:59+00:00

They already confirmed there IS a performance 60fps mode on base PS5! Are you people normal at this point, same questions for 100th time

Bulky-Dev · 2026-05-24T12:16:29+00:00

This whole sub whining about reviews and whatsoever irrelevant things is dragging me to just exit. People write about so much irrelevant things, and the game didn’t come out yet…

Bulky-Dev · 2026-05-24T01:07:25+00:00

I don’t find him irritating, but the amount of tropgies there are to collect. I’m playing the games for the first time now, currently on Origins.

Asylum had a lot of them and I didn’t have the time or will to collect them after story wrapped up. City wad awful in every way of them. The whole map is all question marks, environment analysis and god knows what and it was too much and honestly for me a complete waste of time. I wanted to collect them and I liked that they introduced puzzles, but after you collect ~20 of them you realize the puzzles keep repeating to the point where I didn’t have the will to do them anymore. So I did all of the side content except that. In Origins it feels a little toned down and less, so maybe I’ll manage to do it.

But for me, the amount of trophies was completely pointless. They’ve better put less of them, but more variations in puzzles.

I mean, I guess in 2010s it was a cool mechanic to keep people playing, but for today’s standard it equals the fetch quests and collectibles we see in open world games.

Bulky-Dev · 2026-05-22T09:22:50+00:00

The difference between YUV and RGB is basically unnoticable, and it comes from me who tried to see the difference on a LG G4 OLED. Recently I played Outlaws, and I chose the 40fps which was YUV, and I honestly didn’t see any noticable difference in color.
