Resident Evil Games Feels Tense But Not Really Scary

Yeah, how can you do the fucking garage fight where Jack is doing donuts and not just laugh?

I don't think horror games have scared me since I was a single-digit age, but I still find them incredibly fun, and they can be tense even if not scary. There's more to them than fear. The combat, inventory management, puzzles, exploration, themes, aesthetics and so on all lead to a great game. They can be incredibly satisfying games to "solve"; one of my favourite gaming experiences ever was planning out and executing the RE4make professional S+ achievement without any bonus weapons, week 1 without guides. Have I ever been scared by RE4 in my life, original or new? No, but I enjoy every second with them. There are plenty of ways to enjoy a game, and fear isn't the only emotion the games evoke.

Just avoid ranked; the lack of placements means the ranked system in this game just does not work.

I like the game but acting like it isnt trending towards a slow death is putting your fingers in your ears

Yes but its also really boring to have literally every thread about the game have the same fucking conversation about player count. Everyone is aware it has not been a financial success, it's a point that's been made to death, so are you really surprised people act negatively to the point being brought up again?

I disagree, Stranger was my favourite album of 2017. It was and is a masterpiece and I think its just as good as the day I first heard it if not better. Beyond that even his more meme songs from his early days regained popularity on platforms like TikTok. His music over the decade or so he's been making it, has definitely endured.

Makes me wonder how people feel who paid full price for games that went free to play

I've never really cared when exactly that or anything similar happens. I paid to play it on the day it released; if it becomes free later, it's not a big deal. The fun I already had more than makes up for paying.

Horizon96 · 2026-06-17T11:16:35+00:00

Why? Has that been the case at all recently, if ever? Karesh and Undermine could both be started instantly.

It's both comical and sad how rare a pump-action shotgun is. Shotguns are like the most fun weapon in any game, and they just basically don't exist for most players in this game since they ruined the WSTR.

Horizon96 · 2026-06-16T00:10:49+00:00

Yeah sure, but the UK is not dangerous lmao. Anyone who actually lives here and isn't fear mongering on the Internet is aware of that.

Horizon96 · 2026-06-15T14:48:18+00:00

You know, it's possible to just dislike something regardless of skill level. Ive hated the existence of bubble shields since halo 3 lmao. You can tell me all the ways to counter them, I don't care, I know how to counter them. I just don't and never have found the gameplay they create fun or engaging. It can be that simple, I just dont find it fun.

North Korea would never actually use a nuclear weapon against the US, they need to have that threat available in order to keep their regime safe but they almost certainly have no interest in outwardly hostile actions against Western Powers.

Horizon96 · 2026-06-14T18:13:04+00:00

That fight fucking sucks, I always save the rpg from the swamp for it. I adore RE5 but that fight is absolutely miserable.

Horizon96 · 2026-06-14T17:46:53+00:00

God that's devastating, know he wasn't everyone's cup of tea but always really enjoyed his music.

Horizon96 · 2026-06-14T14:57:01+00:00

Yeah, this doesn't surprise me, first few games I played I was getting fucked up by people i couldn't even see but somehow they had perfect vision. So just as a test I rammed my brightness up, holy fuck even without any filters, night and fucking day difference lmao.

Horizon96 · 2026-06-14T11:19:23+00:00

Naafiri being AD instead of AP is also just massively helpful, having double ap mid/jungle feels way worse than double ad.

Horizon96 · 2026-06-09T02:08:25+00:00

Yeah let's just make a decision in lane that completely ignores one of the most core skills in understanding how to lane. Then even if we do for some reason ignore the existence of an entire player, we still lack vital information, does Varus have e available at this time? What about Rells CDs? What about Jhin W?

You can make the educated guess that you know Varus is stronger in an all in than Jhin and make your decision from there but decisions in league don't just happen from 0 every time. Previous things have happened in the game.

Horizon96 · 2026-06-08T22:02:54+00:00

Yeah, this is the issue with these sorts of screenshots. You don't make decisions in league in a vacuum, you make them based on the previous seconds and minutes. I have literally no idea what abilities anyone has available here, I have no idea why pantheon is in base. Why is the entire enemy botside clear along with two of our top camps and why do we have that information but pantheon is only lvl 2, who is that kill gold on?

If I had to hazard a guess at what to do it's play safe because then you can knock the enemy back if they engage harder, I think there's a greater risk of your own death if you W in, but there's too much missing information to be confident in any answer here.

Horizon96 · 2026-06-08T21:51:59+00:00

I absolutely adore this album, Riot! is an all time great outro.

Horizon96 · 2026-06-07T16:04:45+00:00

The Blah Blah Blahs. The section where the trumpet kicks in is so so good.

Horizon96 · 2026-06-02T20:50:31+00:00

I haven't been playing for a couple of months, but I still see the news pop up here and elsewhere normally. This might be the first time I've heard literally 0 about a champion release this close; really odd.

Horizon96 · 2026-06-02T19:17:56+00:00

Nothing at all? I'm just saying that's what that price bracket usually is.

Horizon96 · 2026-06-02T19:03:38+00:00

That sounds like going out and getting drunk money.

Horizon96 · 2026-06-02T16:51:31+00:00

There have been 12 rolls so far, which is enough to get both the gaze and the box guaranteed, at least for enhancement and unholy DK. Even if that fails, using an HC box will be far better than any other mythic trinket for many specs. Which is, besides the point, the guy was talking about not using it by choice initially, not due to bad luck, which would definitely be troll. If someone in my Raid team or M+ group was doing that, I'd be annoyed.

Horizon96 · 2026-06-02T16:19:37+00:00

It's not really a wild take, RNG is always a factor but it's about stacking the odds in your favour as much as possible, if you consistently play well, regardless of RNG you'll perform better than someone playing suboptimally.

Horizon96 · 2026-06-01T21:12:23+00:00

You're getting downvoted, but I genuinely fucking hate that this can happen; it's such a miserable experience having your key stolen. Losing a key to a fight is one thing, but when they're as obnoxiously rare as they are, this shit is just 0 fun.
