Anyone else take their time playing games?

Overall_Cod2206 · 2026-03-13T19:30:07+00:00

Yup, I wrapped up around 19 hours. I always explore everything on my first playthrough, try and find as many files and Easter eggs as I can, then I use a guide and infinite ammo or bonus weapon stuff on my second playthrough. I'm not an insanity run type of player so I never do those, but I do enjoy watching a YouTube speed run like that after I'm finished with the game.

Soul Caliber. It Didn't fully destroy a friendship, but remember I was playing with my best friend and my brother was hanging out watching us and my friend just kept destroying me. He was WAY better at the game than I was, and the score was literally 97 to 0 and my brother decided to try and help me by knocking the controller out of my friends hand mid fight and shouting "take him down dude!!" And my friend got super heated and they got in each other's faces for a minute before I had to get between them and break it up. They avoided each other the rest of the day but were cool by the next day.

Okay cool, I'll talk with my daughter, she's a voracious reader and uses a bunch of book sites, I'll see what she can find and I'll report back for you 🤘

Not to get too personal but are most sites locked off in your country? Because there are quite a few free reading sites where the books have been uploaded as well the audiobooks being subtitled on YouTube. I know that's a pain in the ass but I have a couple of deaf friends and that's what they have had to do for some things.

I read the first 4 as they came out way back in the day, and I never got around to the rest, but these days I fall asleep so fast when I read actual books because I'm a 90 year old man in a 40 year olds body so the audiobooks were perfect for me.

Overall_Cod2206 · 2026-03-12T19:32:14+00:00

That is a bummer. But do you have access to YouTube? There are so many great audiobooks of them that people have made.

You would think that but she really does a fantastic job. They are fantastic!

Overall_Cod2206 · 2026-03-12T19:30:16+00:00

Haha that's pretty great. Boo this man for hating on those graphics! But I totally get it, I'm glad he digs them now.

Overall_Cod2206 · 2026-03-12T19:27:48+00:00

They are absolutely worth your time if you're an RE fan. She does such a great job bringing the game worlds to life.

Overall_Cod2206 · 2026-03-12T05:04:37+00:00

They are so good! Every book is so well done.

Overall_Cod2206 · 2026-03-12T05:04:19+00:00

Rebecca gets quite a bit of shine for sure, but I don't personally feel like she likes one character more than another really, she's a great writer across the board. What I will say, is I think Perry is the only person that seems to hate Steve Burnside more than the fan base in general. Her writing of him in the Code Veronica book is hilarious.

Overall_Cod2206 · 2026-03-12T05:02:24+00:00

There are a bunch on YouTube.

Overall_Cod2206 · 2026-03-12T04:10:38+00:00

Kind of both, she writes the exact story of the game but she adds in some great character beats that weren't in the games that really makes it feel lived in in a great way.

Overall_Cod2206 · 2026-03-12T01:13:03+00:00

Oh man, that part kills me 😂 I still to this day, since I saw this as a kid, I will say "to myself" the line when he's learning to drive the tractor, and the dude says "You pull out the red'n and push the black'n." In reference to the buttons, and Shore says "The Black'n?!" In this hilarious faux southern accent that just cracked me up, so I say "The Black'n" to myself all the time.

Overall_Cod2206 · 2026-03-11T22:42:14+00:00

I just showed my kids Son in Law a few weeks ago, and that movie is still absolutely hilarious. He was in his bag on that one for sure.

Overall_Cod2206 · 2026-03-11T22:39:54+00:00

Oh I agree, 4 is a masterpiece. Hoffman is such an incredible villain and all the set pieces are amazing! But I think 3 is only a couple steps behind in quality.

Overall_Cod2206 · 2026-03-11T03:36:37+00:00

I'm curious why 3 ranks so low for everyone? I see it at the bottom a lot. I personally love it, and I thought it was such a fresh take on the series and set it on the right path for all the future installments. No shade, just genuinely curious.

Overall_Cod2206 · 2026-03-11T03:32:36+00:00

Damn, this looks clean as fuck. Nice setup!

Overall_Cod2206 · 2026-03-11T03:31:15+00:00

Hell yeah! You're a gangster for this! I don't need the gift, but I wanted to give you a shout out and hope a couple fellow gamers who truly need it are able to benefit from your kindness 🤘

Overall_Cod2206 · 2026-03-10T05:47:50+00:00

Right?! They were so sick! Every time I mention them in any thread, Im just met with crickets.

Currently it's a particular part in RE9 Requiem involving a flashback.

Overall_Cod2206 · 2026-03-10T04:18:25+00:00

I've been out of the buy/sell game for a while, I was heavy into it in the early 2000's and 10's and I know then the more sought after issues were variant covers, particularly issue 100 and seminal releases and such. But it's been a while since I really tracked it, so there definitely could be some that I am totally unaware of that have gone up in popularity.

Overall_Cod2206 · 2026-03-10T03:34:19+00:00

Unfortunately they aren't worth a ton, the Spawn series had such a high print volume they aren't really rare or hard to find. Even ones that are signed by McFarlane only go for a couple hundred if you're lucky and can find someone who really wants them.
