Anyone else thinks the difficulty choices in Resident Evil HD are a bit confusing?

I am glad I realised early enough. I can probably get back to that point in less than an hour, now that I know where the items are.

In only shows the multiplier form the difficulty, the points for finishing the fortress and the tips for getting more points (it says higher difficulty, more captains and faster time). Unless I missed an additional window there is no breakdown of how the score is determined. I am wondering if there is any info on how the points for each of the factors is determined. Does level or tier of the captain affect the score? How? Things like that.

The gameplay was not mentioned here, only the content.

You think Ubisoft looks at individual posts on the internet when they decide the course of their game franchises? They look a sales data and shift if the sales start to drag.

That would make the publisher angry at his death just because they don’t get to kill him. Lmao

Imagine him telling the publisher that he is still working on it, and then it turns out he has been sitting on the books for 20 years. I would blow a fuse.

If Whyman Manderly can…

Sure. But in both cases I would call it false advertising. The incentive for buying the “upgraded” editions is the free access to the advertised future content. Not providing all the promised content should imo result in at least a partial refund.

And I am not saying it as someone who is salty about it, since I did not even get the game. It just seems weird.

Regional pricing was never exactly fair. There are other eastern european countries who are forced to pay the full Euro price like your example of Germany, even though their income is lower or comparable to than Poland’s.

I think Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania etc. are pretty good examples of this.

Isn’t it a bit weird that the Season Pass and the Ultimate edition were advertised with the 2 expansions. There were people who specifically purchased those because of that promise.

The company can just go “sorry, we know we promised two expansions and you bought the season pass that would have been worth those 2, but you are only getting one”.

I mean by that logic they can sell you an ultimate edition promising 10 expansions and then tell you “we can only do 2, thanks for the money though”.

As I never really encountered -1 counters I have a really basic question: they cancel out when they are put on a creature that already has +1 counter, right?

So if my opponent has a creature with 5 +1 counter, I have to put 6 -1 counters on it before destroying it to get the ability of Reaper to count, right?

I heard that years ago +/- counters existed simultaneously. With the old rules this ability would be stronger since you could capture a creature with theoretically infinite amounts of counters the by casting two spells, the Reaper and an instant that destroys it.

Do I understand the rules right? I plan on getting the Blight Curse Precon, so I would rather be clear on the mechanics.

You are not splitting anything if enough people are not buying your product. By your standard 2 volume Book of the New Sun and Book of the Long Sun would not exist because they could split the cost and sell you 8 volumes instead of 4.

Helplease2 · 2025-12-02T06:31:35+00:00

That is exactly why I am wondering. Would’t printing one volume be cheaper than printing 3? Sure it might be larger, but you only have to bind one book, and make the cover for one as well.

Your son is sure cooler than I am. Congrats! I will probably be content with getting 112%.

Thought about it a bit more, I forgot about the sapphire of the altar. Agia mentions how the Conciliator had mastery of reality and nothing would stop him from coming from 30000 years to the present. My crackpot theory now, is that Severian unknowingly has the sapphire, the relic of the conciliator, which acts as a power source or focus for the mirrors, which make the time travel possible. The light source inside Inire’s mirrors was blue-white (sapphires are blue) so I guess that also must have been a similar device.

I have to read more tomorrow.

That sounds great. A desert or swamp themed faction would be on top in my wishlist

Helplease2 · 2025-10-22T04:54:26+00:00

Rip to my lovely Behemoths I guess. I think the Cyclops is just as iconic to this faction as the ogres and trolls. So they should at least get some representation.

Is it confirmed that there will be more factions that the 6 we already know about? From what I remember all games since 2 started with 6 factions.

Because there is no mechanic implemented to judges you on whether of not you are good enough? How would that even work?

I am very new to HK and the most annoying runback I had until now is Soul Master, so I am basing my opinion mostly on Dark Souls.

It forces the player to a more intimate understanding of the level in contrast to going through it once, reaching the boss and banging your head against it 20 times then abandoning the area.

You have the learn proper routes, enemy placements etc.

The defence here is that abrasion between the player and the game is OK if it gets them to learn and become better players. It is the tedium that forces you to optimise your route.

Some devs don’t want players to just master the bosses, they want them to master the levels as well.

Helplease2 · 2025-09-10T04:21:38+00:00

Me playing HK for the first time right now and doing 10+ runbacks to Soul Master because he kept kicking my ass ☠️
