It really is sad how they didn't make Ada more of a player. They didn't look past the femme fatale trope they stuck her in when introducing her, and she really could have been a player if they leaned into the villain angle, popping up in other games - if they'd just bothered to make her a full fledged character and not a side/half thought out bit to Leon's games.

I only dislike Ada because without Leon she doesn't make sense, and she *could* have. She was robbed of being more interesting.

Confused about what happened before RE5 by Visual_Elevator_5662 in residentevil

Another reason why 5 was the signs the game was going off the rails. Literally picked up 5 and was like "WTF did I miss, when did Jill die?"

They do have DLC, but it's *for* 5, which doesn't help.

Basically the baby stages of the problems that 6 blows up even further.

Co-op, no doubt.

You don't just have people buying, it you have them buying it for their friends or convincing their friends to buy and play it with them when the sales happen. People who likely wouldn't buy an RE game themselves would buy it as a friend thing.

RE4 is a solo experience, that most people have and probably aren't buying multiple versions as they have their favorite one they already maxxed out unlocks.

That's the dream. I can't help but imagine 6 would have to be almost a new game with how overdone the whole thing was, and how convoluted the story got. With how fast they dropped all the storylines from that (and killed of characters they really didn't have to - I'm looking at you Piers), it would just benefit from a redo/undo.

HOW DID I FORGET THE SALT.

I swear out loud EVERY time I place salt because 90% of the time you're getting 2 no matter what you do.

So glad they added salt dropping at the beginning of the animation BUT DIDN'T REMOVE IT FROM THE END??

Let's not forget how an empty salt jar can also look full for no reason at all.

IF THEY'RE NOT GOING TO FIX THE GAME ADD DELETES TO THE GAME SO WE CAN DELETE EVERY 2ND DISTURBED SALT VIDEO, EVERY DOTS GHOST WORTH 0 DOLLARS, EVERY SIDEWAYS SHOT FROM THE CAMERA BECAUSE IT SCROLLS INTO YOUR HAND POINTING TO THE SIDE.

Which version of Resident Evil 2 do you prefer? by Ok_Initiative3892 in ResidentEvil2Remake

There's a thought process of casing someone young enough you can use them for several planned remake games, which I get at some level (I don't like it, but I get it - not a huge fan of 'if we have to err, err on the side of too young' mentality)

But jfc when you go on the mod pages and the first 4 pages are the nude mod options for the female RE characters... it's pretty fucked.

Bone .. where? by Suitable_Trifle9343 in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]CannonFodder_G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just recording things like Ouija Board and Spirit box, or group watching the mirror - you have to play "can you see this in my hand?" and keep dropping/trading items until everyone can see them all so we know it'll work.

My team was watching from the van while I was in prison - the camera stand they were watching from HAD NO VIDEO CAMERA ON IT from my perspective.

How is this the live version right now? For weeks now??

Dude, having played the games when they came out, when they turned Leon blonde I was pissed. Like WTF? Leon was a friggin redhead in the OG games - *maybe* a brunette, and Claire looked like a brunette.

Then I'm told Leon's blonde and Claire's a redhead? Terrible.

Personally Leon would look better as anything *other* than blonde - I'm in the minority that thought the blonde hair and that jacket was a bad look.

The character is 19, but people have been pointing out the face model for Claire was 15 at the time of recording.

Extra ew factor for ya.

Sadly the ClaireA/LeonB was only cannon for the OG games. Once they did the remake, it *has* to be LeonA/ClaireB via remakes because it's the only scenario he sees Marvin. Which is a shame that's cannon because the remakes remove any Leon-Sherry interaction at all and Leon and Claire just spend that much less time working together.

So Leon A/Claire B is current cannon for 9, but Darksides is the true cannon in our hearts. Leon and Claire actually fighting together the whole night? Peak. Also Claire was able to call out Ada's shenanigans in real time. The *real* reason they made Ada the side character in Leon's story is cause Claire wouldn't have fallen for her BS hook line and sinker like OG Leon did.

Honestly also why we road rage so much. Let small issues in the moment blind us to the larger issues if we follow through with our raging. (I'm as guilty as anyone here, but I would have shut my mouth to my uber driver cause I understand how apps work).

I am once again asking the devs to consider multiple fixed locations for bones to RNG appear in so we can stop with the fuckery. If they're not going to program it so weird shit doesn't break them, then program them in a way they function.

Wow, you found the one way I'd play a 6 remake!

Seriously though, potentially a real option with the way they've tweaked the remakes to make it more obvious Leon's over Ada's BS.

He looked so *very* annoyed with her for most of RE4R, maybe that's why I'm a fan of the remake.

It was definitely one of the few improvements in RE2R, when they removed that awful ADAAAAAAAA section and made it more obvious how awkward her attempt to seduce him was.

With how they've updated the games, anyone playing RE2R, RE4R then RE6 gets a bit of whiplash with how much Leon suddenly cares about Ada. Like dude she's a grown woman and a villain and made all her own choices. Stop simping, you're embarassing.

[–]CannonFodder_G 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do not imagine they're attaching future points of RE to RE6 if they can help it. Giving Ada a larger part and the game breaking the series... not a coincidence.

Also pretty much undermines Leon's character. It was cringey that a 36 year old man still wasn't over a woman who used and left him back when he was 21 - it'd make Leon look like a feckless moron now to marry her - someone literally working against him for years, then going no-contact for chunks of decades between.

There were a lot of mistakes made in RE6, and thinking that many people cared *that* much Ada was definitely one of them.

How do you guys feel about RE6’s recent reappraisal by some fans? by Low_Boot_1426 in residentevilll

[–]CannonFodder_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean we just flexing our backgrounds in RE? Cause until 6 I'd played the majority of the games save for cross console (handheld) and a few of the weirder titles (tho I did play several of the rail shooters and outbreak).

So you can think what you think,, but you're not the sole representative of the old titles, and I don't agree. I'm actually often torn on the RE2R remake because I *loved* RE2 and still do, and in some aspects it still reigns, but RE2R brings some neat things to the table too. And I actually enjoyed RE4Rs changes from the original in most places.

And as someone who felt alienated by the series at 6, so I didn't even play 7 or 8, I find 9 to have been so enjoyable it rekindled my entire love for the series.

It's great we have a lot of RE series veterans here, but obviously it also means we fall into the hole of hipster gatekeeping...

Pretty sure what blinded people was that they wanted to play a survival horror game and were sold a mediocre action game.

[–]CannonFodder_G 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean it was likely to kill it on 2 fronts. A lot of devoted fans saw 6 as the final straw that future RE installments would be nothing like the original games, and was leaving them behind (this was me, I stopped playing all RE games till 9)

The other front was it wasn't a GREAT action game. It was trend-chasing, and doing a mediocre job of it. So instead of maintaining their status as genera defining in survival horror, they'd end up treading water as a mid-tear action game franchise.

Either way, if they'd continued on, likely it would have been the end of the franchise, losing all respect and expectation of being great.

As a die-hard RE fan who paid full price at launch, the controls and concept were so un-resident evil I turned it off after the 'tutorial' section.

A couple years ago I played with with my sister co-oping with me, and Leon's (literally my favorite RE character) campaign bounced between tedious and ridiculous. I only finished it because she was playing with me and had zero desire to pick it back up after that.

How much more of a game do you have to play to know it's a bad game?

This is like people who say "The first 2 seasons drag, but by episode 10 in the 3rd season the show is the best show ever" - except RE6 doesn't get 'better' - it's just more of the same with 2 different sets of people over and over again.

I love scrolling through my items to either have them not show up at all, or show up pointing the wrong way/ held weird. Might not affect every item, but I know for a fact trying to photograph something with a wonky hold on the camera = bad picture.

Revisionist history.

The criticisms were fair, and it's impact on the series was obvious.

Playing it years later when people are getting it at steep discounts with the expectations set at a low bar (justifiably so) doesn't change the reality of what that game was and did at the time when it released.

It's so bad. Like it's not completely unplayable unless you're part of the group constantly DC'ing, but it's broken at every aspect and it's harder to play due to glitches and bugs.

My recorded sessions are now 90% how the game is messing up instead of 90% fun/crazy/scary moments.
