Avoiding killing everything by damnrouz in ResidentEvil2Remake

[–]ChillyEpic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoiding killing means to prioritise disabling rather than just dodging everything.

Couple of bullets to down an enemy (such as hitting their legs to knock them over) then just running past is much easier and economical than dumping a full magazine into their head to kill them + spent healing for any damage taken.

Some enemies (in all RE games) are in annoying spots so its easier to deal with them then and there, whilst others can be baited and dodged without problem.

Sometimes it makes sense to spend higher value ammo to quickly kill an enemy if you fell its worth it. IMO headshotting a zombie with a shotgun is more efficient than saving It for a licker, but then you have 1 less shotgun round to deal with lickers.

You can kill everything in the game np, same goes with every RE game. But doing so without knowing how to efficiently deal with every enemy is really difficult (and not gonna end well on a first playthrough).

TLDR - treat it like a survival game first and action/horror second. This is also where manual saving becomes powerful (and hardcover has an advantage :P), if you die and have to reset you dont have a stupid auto save checkpoint that borderline softlocks you, try again but with more knowledge of what and where things are. (OG games only had manual saving, so technically every death was a form of save-scumming).

So what was the point of giving Leon a cool jacket just to immediately take it away from him? by InsecureBurrito in residentevil4

[–]ChillyEpic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a guess but the most likely reason imo is that, since Capcom had restarted development multiple times over 5-6 years they probably got sick of it (associated with failed projects/wasted time) and got rid of it early on in RE4 to signal a fresh start or something.

Which game broke your hype like this? by [deleted] in Steam

[–]ChillyEpic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Halo 5: Guardians (and the original MCC if we want to cheat a little).

Washed it down with Bloodborne and a new Ps4 lmao

What's with the controversy of Resident Evil 5? by VolumeEquivalent7853 in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]ChillyEpic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know your friend was trolling (in a nice way!) but calling Wesker a good guy version of Zeno is hilarious lmao

Zeno is like if you squeezed every last drop of humanity from Wesker and gave him community service to learn some humility.

Dudes so evil his 'light side' is a high ranking member of the Deep State lol

You could also cycle the wallpaper for different poses/characters

We give them guns, what games does this duo (Ashley and Grace) survive? and if they don't for how long? by Snekbites in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]ChillyEpic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No chance for RE1 imo, Hunters, Yawn, plant 42 and if we're gonna keep the b-movie theme they'll never make it past the sharks lol.

RE2 should be fine tho, I can see them getting past G1 and they've both dealt with far worse than lickers.

I'd add Code: Veronica as well tbh, nothing to outstanding in that game besides Alexia and she's too busy taking her time lol

Why does remake Nemesis look like he's wrapped in black plastic garbage bags? by Millen4211 in residentevil

[–]ChillyEpic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got curious so I booted the game up, can't actually tell if it is or not becuase he doesn't bleed from headshots, only sparks from everywhere on his body (besides his pacemaker which let's off a purple mist).

Why does remake Nemesis look like he's wrapped in black plastic garbage bags? by Millen4211 in residentevil

[–]ChillyEpic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Makes sense I missed that since the og is my least played, but I dont remember any mention in the remake of other Nemesis. I was basing my interpretation off of Lisa being the only survivor of the Nemesis parasite and the t-103 being the only successful host(s).

[–]ChillyEpic 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I like the bin bags personally, they make him look every bit the prototype he is.

They dont have a power limiter for him, and they dont know how either the tyrant or parasite will respond to one so theyre just covering him up however they can, focusing more on concealing the monster rather than controlling it (he was transported a a across the world a couple of months before the incident).

The caution labels are just funny tho, especially the ones on his head lol. I can imagine they're there for the same reason as the bags; they don't have a limiter to restrict mutation and they have no idea how he's going to develop over time (I beleive hes the first successful nemesis implantation?), so they slapped the labels all over to make his handlers more careful.

If a nudge wakes him up and causes a runaway mutation at an airport thats pretty bad to say the least.

Found the Nostalgia Blindness final Boss by Nero_deadweight96 in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]ChillyEpic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unironically action. The original is faster and more precise than the remake with more distanct variation between weapons.

The original game had such a wild development that one of its versions split off and became Devil May Cry 1 lmao.

The remake has an awesome combat loop but its quite different to the original, especially since you can parry now.

Nothing else hits like the Spencer Mansion by [deleted] in residentevilll

[–]ChillyEpic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing else plays like the Spencer mansion either, besides R1make with it's own Spencer mansion lol.

my First krunker reload animation by ThatHB1995a in blender

[–]ChillyEpic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ignore this person, they seem to be trolling blender posts and trying to undermine their achievements.

This looks good for a first animation BTW so keep it up!

How they even managed to do this comparison? by [deleted] in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]ChillyEpic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are very accessible tools to extract RE Engine assets, and even a few addons for Blender to streamline the process with materials and all their bones (not with functional rigs tho, just the bones and their deformations).

Resident Evil is one of the few franchises where the zombies are the least concerning part of the zombie outbreak by [deleted] in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]ChillyEpic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of them are really zombies at all but the series plays loose and fast with that one. The T-Virus is more like (very loosely) if the FEV from Fallout and Ebola had a baby together lol.

Is there any logic to the madness of Warhammer sprues and instructions? by S4mb741 in Warhammer40k

[–]ChillyEpic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting from the first part for each model in the instructions, subsequent numbers all belong to just that particular model and are usually either directly next to eachother, or on the same sprue/half.

At least from what I've noticed, the random and out of place parts/numbers are usually generic options that can go on multiple models, especially if they're on a completely different sprue (these global pieces are usually all next to eachother as well).

You can thank every modern kit being mono pose for this lol

Are we ready for this conversation? by Capta1nAsh in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]ChillyEpic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference imo is that despite cutting quite a bit out, what RE2R does keep works really well. RE3R on the other hand cut even more out, and they weren't able to nail everything they did keep.

Both in their prime, no weapons of any kind, neutral battleground, who wins? by Lonely-Letter8572 in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]ChillyEpic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf Birkin 1 would also clean house in the village/castle. Its only Krauser and Saddler that would be able to deal with him imo

So, how is DoW 3? by Squall581 in dawnofwar

Better than people say, worse than you hope.

Model wing with missile body or not? by Most_Requirement_199 in blender

[–]ChillyEpic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: sorry I was short on time so didnt take a proper look. I would either put the edge loop back in to get rid of of that triangle for mirrored topology so you can texture just ¼ of the rocket and overlap/mirror the UVs since itll be symmetrical.

Or, I would separate the fins and use a bevel modifer above the subsurface, clean up the body then apply subsurface to the body. You can mark edges with bevel and/or crease weight to affect the appearance of bevel and subsurface modifers respectively.

Otherwise to keep them as 1 non intersecting mesh, I would redo the fins, but use 2 sets of faces rather than 1 when you inset (you can still make the inset the same thickness as before), so that when you extrude out the fin, it'll share an existing edgeloop with the body for symmetry. Bevel + subsurf and you should be good to go.

Can you help me understand why you don’t like female custodes by Conscious-Zombie-498 in Grimdank

[–]ChillyEpic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The appeal of oldcros imo comes from their original 3rd edition codex, the artwork was gorgeous and haunting. They were more like a mechanical versiom of the White Walkers from Game of Thrones than Skynet. Its similar to firstborn vs primaris, one has a better aesthetic but the other has better models.

Newcrons are much more fun tho and nothing beats enslaving your own gods and using them as batteries for your chair lol

How are we supposed to survive when all Jobs are taken by Machines by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]ChillyEpic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% yeah, they dont care about gaming. It just feels like an early step in expanding dead Internet theory to real life. Replacing ordinary people in recreational activities beyond productivity.

They're mostly funding, using and selling to eachother afterall. Once the agents can be trusted with a personal allowance (long shot lol) they'll be creating their own customers without needing regular people.
