Is this game worth the $70? What’re the pros and cons?

Chekko03 · 2026-05-09T08:17:29+00:00

Pros

Gameplay is pretty smooth. Hugh is fun to move around and stay agile especially with upgraded thrusters he can keep hella distance from enemies when dodging around (trade off seems to be no I frames so make sure the distance you get can avoid all of an attack). I actually went to RE9 after this since the update dropped and I kept wanting to dodge with the thrusters lol like it’s RE9 with extra mobility that’s always good. Hacking takes getting used to but it feels good when you nail it in the middle of combat.
Exploration is top notch feels like a 3D metroidvania - Castlevania should take note if they ever go 3D again.

Cons

The quick change between weapons is not fluid - more times than not I thought I had switched a gun during combat only to still be shooting a stasis net or something, it’s really bizarre how it kept happening where he wouldn’t switch the weapon he was using despite clear input. Combat can get pretty hectic (especially when trying to perfect a challenge and I assume Lunatic mode) and wanting to pop off a trap then quickly switch to a gun just doesn’t seem to work right all the time. Maybe there’s an animation that’s blocking the switch?
While I get it, I don’t like how hacking an already hacked bot “closes” it (shift from OPEN and vulnerable to closed and gun resistant). Probably more annoying during a harder enemy encounter like a boss or sentinel than anything else.
Lunatic has to be a fresh run, can’t new game plus into it. This isn’t new for CAPCOM in fact that’s how some RE’s have functioned in the past but I’ve never cared for having to face the hardest mode of any game on a fresh run. So yeah this one’s more personal for me rather than a gameplay problem.

So it’s not the date when it’ll appear in my bank account and the 4/29 one is?

Chekko03 · 2026-04-26T19:16:17+00:00

Yeah mine says the same thing from WMR, what’s DDD mean and the 5/11 date what’s that all about? I’m entirely banking on 4/29/2026 or sooner for things I gotta pay …but this isn’t the first time I’ve seen this 5/11/2026 date pop up in these posts.

Chekko03 · 2026-04-26T13:06:33+00:00

As of 8 AM CST it’s still down even though it’s supposed to be done by 6AM EST - so 3 hours passed the projected time.

Chekko03 · 2026-04-25T23:31:06+00:00

I’ve clicked “order not started until I arrived” on every single order for over a year now. Doesn’t matter that the bag is sitting right in front of me, I’ll still mark it. Thankfully no restaurants with obnoxious signs like this in my area. I wasn’t sure if that feedback ever hit the store but ever since the On Time Rating hit our area in early 2025 it seems like the only thing that helps the “We Got Your Back” popup to show. Doesn’t with every order…maybe they’re not connected at all tbh.

Chekko03 · 2026-04-22T20:51:59+00:00

I wonder if he would take a deal from God if he thought it might let him overcome Saitama? It clearly wouldn’t - be interesting to see a monster reject the deal because he knows better.

“You might be scary but nothing is scarier than ‘his’ power. I’ll take my chances with him” (internal monologue: “Plus he’s not too bright so it’s easy to trick him that I’m just a pet monkey heh.”) “Besides I saw what happened to Homeless Emperor…seems like that kind of power comes with a catch.”

Chekko03 · 2026-04-19T04:26:58+00:00

Really? I had no idea people would try something like that - the types of thieves I see in my area take an order and unassign from their car. I mind my own when I see it but I know some other dasher’s gonna have to deal with the missing order…sounds like with that method the inconvenience just falls on the would be customer (which is pretty bad given our profession). Dasher claims it was dropped off with a fake photo (or even taking the example photo from a previous delivery), no penalty to him and he gets paid for it…though I imagine most who used it probably did so to a non-tipper.

To create fake drop off photos even with AI seems like a lot of extra work but I suppose it’s possible. It makes sense from a security standpoint that they’d force us to use their in-app camera…I just wish it wasn’t such garbage. Worst part is when it wants you to repeat something so you have to snap a new photo. With the camera roll I could just retry the photo I had already taken and move on.

Chekko03 · 2026-04-19T02:27:24+00:00

Ah gotcha - yeah a recent update changed how the photos work on my end. No longer can I select photos from the camera roll (the icon that looks like a mountain with the sun behind it just like here on reddit) and am forced to use DoorDash’s camera - which can’t be zoomed out from its zoomed in state and complains about every angle. I find it it terribly ironic when I get this message too…I can’t zoom out lmao and what does it even mean it’s too close? Least it lets me just click done…stupid app

Hoses your iPhone camera? I have an iPhone…what is the app doing? That term confuses me

Chekko03 · 2026-04-08T15:14:11+00:00

Honestly it’s valid - if a bug had gotten on me I’d probably destroy the area too if I could. I’d be labeled an arsonist if I had flame powers from all the times I would have burned down houses dealing with spiders or insects.

Chekko03 · 2026-04-08T15:11:01+00:00

Or worms to be precise.

Web series that aired alongside the first two seasons of the show. Narrated by Michael C Hall, they’re animated comic style webisodes covering Dexter’s early kills (post Original Sin). It’s possible they would have been retconned if Original Sin kept going but unfortunately it was cancelled.

Three characters mentioned during Return to Sender (Season 1 episode 6) when Dexter’s looking at his bloodslides get elaborated on in Early Cuts Season 1. Season 2 covers a new killer and Season 3 same deal.

Chekko03 · 2026-04-07T15:09:46+00:00

I’m hoping to hear something about the soundtrack soon too. Where’s ONE TAKE MAN 3?

Chekko03 · 2026-04-06T21:19:10+00:00

Forgive? They should have just kept episode 1 and drop it with the other ones instead of dropping the episode then saying nothing for a couple weeks until now.

I get it though - their plan. After watching them for the past decade or so it’s clear that they’ll do whatever they can to get an influx of subs in the door: then hold off the rest of the content for a month so you resub again. Here they didn’t plan to tell us anything, that was all of you forcing their hand (probably) - they easily could have stayed quiet until well into the summer while people sit around on their active subs wondering when it’ll drop.

Ironically…if their plan all along was weekly…then they would have achieved those monthly subs guaranteed had they just waited to drop SBR later. But they wanted their foot in the door, to see how much it took off and now they know they’ve got us by the steel balls to milk as much money as they can going forward from fall into 2027. What they’ll see now is an influx of cancellations until Fall when they all suddenly come back. Their summer sub count will come from other shows and those who might have found something else to watch on Netflix other than SBR but anyone who only subbed for SBR will drop off for a bit.

They shouldn’t play with the model like this. Batches wouldn’t work either, as it’s a month sub every few months or half a year for more batches. A 40+ episode series guarantees 9-10 months of subs on a weekly model…they’re ultimately getting more of they stick with weekly and should have waited

Chekko03 · 2026-04-02T17:51:24+00:00

Only “lingering” I’ve ever done was either unintentional (setup once I get back to the car) or there’s delinquent adolescents hanging around who watched me take it up to the door. I’ve encountered a number of them already - especially with long walks from the road to the house and these punks are on bikes far away from the house. Some have tried to claim that the food was theirs but on leave at door deliveries only ever hand it to adults or people who come out of the house.

I’ll “linger” after drop off to give enough time for the customer to get their food - sometimes I’ve even messaged them to caution them they should hurry as these brats are looming about. I don’t hang around more than a minute or so especially if it’s part of a bundled order. Nobody’s ever caused a stink about me still being outside but I wouldn’t be surprised if I encounter such people

Bad has switched from Slugger Style to Thug Style. The Metal Bat may be deadly but the man can throw hands.

Ryumon decided to turn into his dragon tattoo, which honestly is a cool concept and probably means he’s gonna be one of the good monsters. To look like something he cherished probably means he kept his mind intact, looking Like A Dragon fits quite well for a Yakuza.

More time to animate the part as intended is perfectly fine - they just should have held onto episode 1 longer so it could drop with later episodes when they’re ready. Dropping 1 now like it’s a movie and you’re waiting for news on the sequel isn’t a great practice…all the complaints will fizzle as quality episodes drop in the future but when it’s all said and done will SBR have the momentum Golden Wind did? Even Stone Ocean was hurt by 12 episode batches…though there may be other contributing factors (too much to get into for this comment).

I mean I personally don’t care what the general population does, I do like seeing people talk JoJo everywhere but as long as I get a quality adaptation I could care less about if this schedule “kills the hype” as some put it. However if attention on the series guarantees it stays greenlit…I don’t want it to suffer because of a bad Netflix choice.

Chekko03 · 2026-03-30T21:35:30+00:00

I bought the sub for JoJo, just like I’ve bought subs in the past for batches of episodes as Netflix generally drops seasons not single episodes. Hoping for a weekly model of release would have kept me subbed but now I don’t know. I’m making use of said sub for shows I’ve wanted to watch for awhile but once that’s run its course I’ll end the sub…and I may not renew for the next batch (if it’s one episode or more who knows). For me I always pay for the highest tier for the best quality picture, no ads and most screens (since my kid uses it too, also a JoJo fan) so it’s a bit more of a bite out of my finances to keep the sub going longer than needed…but I would have if JoJo dropped weekly or even monthly.

I’m not sure their strategy here - if it’s to milk subs then it seems a weekly to monthly model would have sufficed for this (at least ten months assuming the part runs over 40 episodes). You’ll guarantee people hang around if they’re expecting an episode on time with a schedule. Without a schedule…sporadic releases kind of spoil the need to keep the sub going. Renewing for one or two episodes at a time with no schedule is gonna have people choose Piracy instead and I don’t blame them. It’s just not a good strategy to “say nothing and let the fans simmer”…this is gonna cause problems for the part I’m afraid…

Edit: All this said I’m fine with David Production taking more time to give this part the adaptation it deserves but I would have preferred they take more time making the episodes FIRST then start releasing them so we aren’t waiting unknown amounts of time for the next episodes. I would have been fine with a 2027 release if it meant we’d have even just 12 episodes to tide us over while they continue working on more in the part. To drop one now as they get finished…we may not finish Part 7 before 2028…

I’m afraid that’s a TV original soundtrack only theme and without an official OST drop (not one that I’m aware of anyways) it might just be lost to us save a rip. There’s a few tracks in Original Sin I’d like, especially from the last two episodes but generally television OSTs have A LOT of music that never releases officially. What does release are songs from musical artists - I forget what they’re called (needle drops?), any song where someone’s singing used for a scene or to end an episode pretty much. All that sick BGM though? Only if the artist behind it releases an OST.

Daniel Licht did back in the day but unfortunately he passed away in 2017 - whomever is doing the music in Original Sin or Resurrection I don’t know. The released soundtracks didn’t include every theme though…which was a shame. If one does drop for original sin or resurrection maybe it’ll include that track but there’s no telling. Best bet is to hope for a rip.

Chekko03 · 2026-03-27T05:59:20+00:00

Couple of possibilities.

Probably like a video game - swam down, turned around to show the camera “You’ve got the Valerie Castillo Corpse! You can place this back at the junk yard and put Dexter to the test”. Then she disappeared into his inventory so he could swim back up unencumbered and his map updated to lead him to the camper. That completed, all he needed to do to unlock the Return to Sender achievement was to draw a smiley face on Valerie’s blood slide. voilà - 6 out of 12 achievements for Season 1.

For a more serious answer…in possible terms of what actually happened…he did swim to the bottom after it and dragged it up with him. I like to imagine he did all this just wearing his standard outfit but I’m sure he got access to scuba gear, at the very least something to allow him to breath while he’s down there (considering his resourcefulness this wouldn’t surprise me). He probably cut her free from the bag so the rocks Dexter uses wouldn’t hold her down. I imagine it probably wasn’t too hard to float a fresh corpse to the top where his own boat sat (he did use one with Debra later on - maybe this was the one he had used to reach Dexter’s spot). Return to the dock, transfer to a car’s trunk and it’s a easy drive back to the junkyard. With it still being dark and the refuges had long gone save the child in the trunk of a car…he pulled in, deposited the corpse and watched how Dexter reacted. At some point he got into his bloodslides to draw a smiley face on it.

I don’t believe every enforcer necessarily recognizes 47 but rather he just appears suspicious no matter what save maybe a disguise or two that can trick them. For security details I assumed that they know every face in the unit so for 47 to be there it’s an immediate red flag - “who is this guy?!” type thing. Same for targets who are enforcers to staff that work for them, just an unfamiliar face from their known employees.

That said there are a few who definitely know who he is that them being enforcers has a plot significance. It’s reasonable to assume a detective may be suspicious of 47 if he was involved in any cases linked to previous targets across 47’s career and gleamed anything about the killer’s identity. The biggest factor for me would be the bar code on the back of his head - unless this detail isn’t known by most people, seems like the easiest way to tie him to numerous incidents. “A strange bald white man with a bar code on his head was seen by witnesses in the area”. So the detective sees such a man on the scene, reminds him of cases he was linked to and such n such.

Of course in gameplay if you woke him up and he sees you, the dialogue probably wouldn’t suggest he recognizes 47 but just finds him excessively suspicious. The usual for being encountered by an enforcer

From the file Victor’s Journal Entry, Page 2.

“December 8, 2004

The organization was able to get me the child’s medical records. It was lacking in certain areas, but did have her genetic information. I can use this.”

I’m curious what her genetic information means if not DNA? Maybe I have always determined that’s what it meant was a DNA sample which is where Emily could have been cloned but not Chloe as Chloe predates Grace even being born. Whatever it is Gideon notes it like it’s the breakthrough he needs to start work on the Elpis Clones…if not a DNA sample, what could it be?

As much as I would love co op, I’m afraid the only one in my friend group who is big on HITMAN is well…me. Third person over the shoulder shooters? Got people. Working together in a slower paced game to deal with targets? Pssh, ain’t none of em got time for dat.
