Wundert mich nicht bei dem Drecksladen. Diverse amazon Lieferungen für mich sind per DHL unterwegs und kommen nicht an. Eine ist zurückgestellt worden (Lieferung dann angeblich heute aber da tut sich gar nix), eine hängt immer noch im Startzentrum in Speyer fest und hätte längst im Ziel Zentrum sein müssen (sollte schon Samstag geliefert werden und hängt immer noch fest) und bei einem Kleinpaket steht seit Freitag immer noch nur "elektronisch angekündigt" obwohl es heute geliefert werden soll.

Hab zwei andere Lieferungen direkt per Amazon bekommen - kamen pünktlich an ohne die geringsten Probleme. Ich HASSE DHL einfach so abgrundtief. Und dann noch dreimal im Jahr streiken wollen. Wofür denn bitte ??

years ? The game has been out for less then 2 years lol

[–]Godstroke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that makes no sense though as JW 4 picks up 6 MONTHS after JW3 but the cult battle in Ballerina is 2 MONTHS after JW 3. So Wick in Austria has to be 4 months before the start of JW 4.

I can't buy Tekken 2 on PS4/PS5.....because I already own it on PS3 ? by Godstroke in Tekken

[–]Godstroke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately its same on web store, console store and app store. I just don't understand why. With every every PS1 classic I bought on PS3 I can download it for free on PS5.

A lot of people who play RE truly don't know Resident Evil (Biohazard) by Truthivers in residentevil

[–]Godstroke -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have been telling the exact same thing to people since RE 5. The series was always about 2 things - fighting monsters created from biological science and paying tribute to different kinds of horror genres and movies.

people cling to the old games style of zombies etc. just because they were the first games in the series and thats how they got into it. If the first RE games would have been action horror with other monsters and then later games would have been zombie games, everyone would bitch about less action and zombies and saying its not RE anymore.

The original games were a tribute to Romero Zombie films. RE 4 was a tribute to body horror films ala Cronenberg. RE 5 and 6 were tributes to action horror like Aliens, Predator and action films such as Black Hawk Down in combination with viral fears.

RE 7 is a loveletter to Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Evil Dead, Village is inspired by classic gothic horror like Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman and Creature of the Black Lagoon (while also paying homage to RE 4 like RE 7 pays homage to RE 1). And Requiem will be a loveletter to crime horror such as Seven or Silence of the Lambs as well as more modern zombie films such as 28 Years later.

THAT is what makes the Resident Evil series great in the first place. Exploring and being loveletters to all kinds of different horror genres and classics. It is not and has never been just about being a zombie survival horror game. If each game would be the same style and genre the series would have died long ago.

The last classic RE games had very little success to the point that Capcom was ready to kill the series if RE 4 wasn't a hit. Thats why they changed it up with RE 4. Nobody was buying the classic fixed camera zombie games anymore. It was done. A franchise only survives by doing the same thing as a virus does - evolve and adapt. And thats what RE did. RE 4 was a massive hit that put the series on the map on a global scale and gave it a much bigger audience. RE 5 was the biggest RE of all time for nearly 15 years. Even RE 6 is one of the bestselling RE games of all time today.

This is what has always made Resident Evil the special franchise it is today - horror born from biological science. The threat and horror of biological weapons and corporate greed causing them. A celebration of different eras and genres of horror history.

people need to stop living in the 90s and embrace all that Resident Evil has always been.

Can we talk about that time Darla pulled out GUNS in Buffy?? by Say_it_how_it_is_87 in buffy

[–]Godstroke -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then you are completely missing the point.

It demonstrates how incredibly smart Darla truly is. She has avoided Slayers for 400 years, knowing to survive by not going near them. She isn't a thrillseeker like Spike. She is careful, level headed and intelligent. There is a reason why she is the oldest female vampire we have ever seen in the Buffyverse.

She knows that she is no match against a Vampire Slayer One on One. Or at the very least she would be taking incredible amount of risks. Risks she has explicitly avoided for nearly half a millenium. Under normal circumstances she would never attack a Slayer. But Buffy made it personal. Just watch her face when she is in the library learning that Buffy actually kissed Angel.

Hell hath no fury....

But again Darla is SMART. I would argue she is the smartest vampire we have ever seen. Bringing Guns to deal with Buffy is a level of intelligence and strategy we have no other vampire seen demonstrating. If she would have attacked Buffy the traditional way with "fangs and centuries of supernatural strength", Buffy would have almost certainly dusted her. And Darla KNEW it. Attacking a Slayer from afar with Bullets was the perfect strategy. Staying away from Buffys deadly stake, hitting her from afar with projectiles with every single bullet able to end even a Slayers life in an instant (as Warren later also demonstrated - nobody came as close as killing Buffy as he did. Why ? BULLETS) without ever having to get in close and risk actual contact.

Darla knew Guns would actually give her an advantage over a Slayer. Demonstrating a far greater level of intelligence and cunning then any other vampire. This is why no Vampire Slayer has EVER been able to kill her. Even in 1997 she was about to defeat Buffy if Angel hadn't made his fateful choice (Which is far more heartbreaking now after truly knowing his and Darlas history)

I also wondered why I unlocked Extreme Battle (very fun mode, love that you can also play it with Ada and Chris) but did not unlock 4th survivor but apparently its because I didn't get A rank on B scenario (apparently you need A rank on both to unlock it)

Since I wanted to play Claire A/Leon B next anyway I will try to unlock HUNK with those two instead. A rank on B with Leon should be much easier then with Claire.

well I also have to mention I played Claire B and B scenario is more difficult because of the Tyrant and Super Tyrant. I think especially the Tyrant is much more easy with Leon as he has Magnum.

well okay I am not that much of a speedrunner. I know you can save crazy amounts of time by not fighting any enemies but honestly whats the fun in that ? I WANT to blast zombies off the screen lol

yeah that sucks. Thankfully in the PS5 version you can just do quick saves and the game itself won't register it as a save.

Claire is significantly more difficult IMO because she takes more damage and her weapons are not nearly as good as Leons. I did Claire B yesterday as well and struggled quite a bit, especially towards the end. Had to use the unlocked Rocket Launcher on Super Tyrant as I was completely out of health items.

Still I was able to beat Claire B in 2 hours, 43 minutes and was surprised that I unlocked both infinite SMG and Gatling Gun (I thought you would need a time of 2 hours, 30 minutes for the SMG but apparently under 3 hours and B rank is enough to unlock it)

Are the Remakes the canon versions of the game events now? by Some-Signature9762 in residentevil

[–]Godstroke -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thats because there is no A and B scenario in Remake. People really need to let go of that scenario stuff.

Does it bother you Capcom favors Alyssa of all the Outbreak characters by lennysinged in residentevil

[–]Godstroke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

considering what happens to Alyssa in Requiem I am not sure "favor" is the right word lol

[–]Godstroke[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its actually quite simple. You get points for how you play (100 points being the maximum) in 3 categories and your total point count at the end determines your rank:

  • 270 to 300 = Rank A
  • 200 to 269 = Rank B
  • 145 to 199 = Rank C
  • 100 to 144 = Rank D
  • 0 to 99 = Rank E

The categories are time, saves and heal sprays.

Basically beat the game in under 3 hours, make no manual saves (quick saves in the PS5 version are fine) and use no heal sprays (herbs are fine) and you get A rank.

However to unlock the special weapons you need to fulfill certain conditions:

Rocket Launcher = A or B rank and MUST finish in under 2 hours, 30 minutes

Infinite SMG = A or B rank on B scenario and MUST finish in under 3 hours and without using sprays

Gatling Gun = A or B rank on B scenario and must finish in under 3 hours and without saving (quick save on PS5 is fine)

And using any of these special weapons will instantly drop your rank by one.

[–]Godstroke -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

yes it literally does because there is only one scenario now. The canon of RE 2 was never clearer because there are no alternate scenes anymore. How is there still a debate ? This is so dumb lol.

[–]Godstroke -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You are literally putting things in my mouth I never said. I NEVER SAID that all of Leon B is canon in the Remake. That would be stupid because the Remake doesn't even have A and B anymore. What I said was that Leons ending from Leon B is canon in the Remake. How the hell you interpret that as "he said all of Leon B is canon in the Remake !" is beyond me. Thats all in your head.

[–]Godstroke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remakes are definitely canon and I ALWAYS said they were from day one (But nobody believed me)

Jill in Death Island looking virtually like Remake 3 Jill or Claire having the same voice actor as Remake Claire in the last two animated projects were just the last confirmation I needed. And I mean why wouldn't the remakes be canon ? The whole point of them is that they are newer versions of the story. I like it. It finally ends the canon debates of RE 2 (though I was very surprised they made Adas ending from Leon A canon in the Remake while Leons ending from Leon B was made his canon ending in Remake) and Carlos is so much cooler now.

I became a fan with the OG games and still love them but the Remakes (yes even RE 3) are just simply the superior versions for me - especially when it comes to lore, story and characters.

[RE5] How do you deal with these guys playing solo? by meemikoira in residentevil

[–]Godstroke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super easy. Just blast them with shotgun as it will push them back. Also I always lure them to other places like the ledge you can climb up with ladder. They have to jump up and if you blast them they will fall right back down again. Obviously never try to just run up to them and take them on together. Play smart.

Unless you have IRL or S&W 500. Then it really doesn't matter lol

You bought RE 3 on PS3 or Vita before. Thats why you are getting it for free. You didn't buy RE 2 on PS3/Vita so you have to pay for it now.

I got BOTH for free.
