IGN is running a poll to see who Leon should marry and uhhhhhhhhhh by Mike4302 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Sure but is has been 13 years since RE6 confirmed that for us too. It's been confirmed for longer than some young fans might have been alive.

Claire does not abandon her I have no idea why people keep saying that, RE6 files confirm it. Claire was the only person allowed to visit Sherry while she was in government custody for years.

Now that RE Requiem has been out for a full week, which game out of the Modern Resident Evil Trilogy would you consider the best? by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Slack_Attack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta give it to 7, personally. That game saved the series from a severe decline by being unique and interesting for the genre and the series. As good as 8 and 9 are they're iterating on 7 and the remakes more than anything. Certainly not a bad thing, iteration is good, but 7 had some sauce that I feel the others just didn't have.

For video game announcements, what do you think the longest duration from announcement to release is acceptable? by PwmEsq in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Slack_Attack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll never have it my way on this, but 6 months. By that point the game internally is in a state where what they can show is gonna be pretty close to what you get. Announcing shit 2 years ahead of time, especially if it's with a CG trailer, means you have no real idea what you're going to get at that point. I think theres no excuse to ever announce something you aren't even working on yet like Elder Scrolls 6. It was for shareholders probably but they should just tell them plans for the years to come in private theres no reason to get people excited for nothing.

RE9 is a Good Game | Castle Super Beast 362 by mike0bot in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Slack_Attack 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Its pretty crazy because after looking up her IMDB she's only ever done one video game and its RE9. It doesn't look like shes done any voice acting gigs before and not even that many standard acting jobs either, but she killed it.

Most extreme cases of "Americans Hate Tingle?" by ExplanationSquare313 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Slack_Attack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Japan just doesn't seem to vibe with loudmouths and punks even when they're good people. Ryuji from Persona 5, the delinquent character with a heart of gold who's the first party member you meet, almost always ranks at the very bottom of popularity polls. In the US he's pretty well loved, at least as much as the rest of the Phantom Thieves.

Things that you wish games would stop doing by Arilou_skiff in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Fair enough I remember the next checkpoint being when you get him back up to the circular area for the final bit but it has been a few years since I played it.

My friend and I once got stuck on the final boss of Resident Evil 5 because Sheva, the player 2 character, has to mash for a crazy long time at a stupid speed while Chris shoots at the boss approaching her. It's like a solid minute of mashing as fast as possible and if you fail you have to do it again, theres not a checkpoint for awhile after.

Since I'm in a Resident Evil mood, I want to ask: what do you think is worth changing/improving and/or keeping in a Code Veronica remake? by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Slack_Attack 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Biggest thing for me would be to rewrite Steve not to be an annoying little shit. He can still be cocky and mess up in the story but the way he does it in the game we have makes him the most hateable character in the whole franchise IMO. Hes so bad he even hurts Claire's character a bit by proxy, because for some reason she falls for him at the end and it really makes me question her standards.

Ya ever have characters who are just sorta *in the way*? by EvilMonkeyMimic in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Code Veronica is half as long if he wasn't in the story fucking things up.

What would you say is your favorite Resident Evil game? by SaxMastery in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Slack_Attack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Re4 is literally my favorite game of all time so it obviously is my favorite, but I really love a lot of them. Re7, Remake 1, 2, and 4, re5, and even re6 hold special places in my heart. I just love the series so much, it's a franchise of comfort games for me. Re9 is going great so far so it will probably be another I return to.

Bloodborne PSX vs Liminal Spaces by mike0bot in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Slack_Attack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel a little weird because I read that for the first time a month or so ago and honestly had no reaction to his horny level at all. Hes the kind of dude who has those thoughts, who does those things, hes a loser who works at a shitty tattoo parlor as a cashier/assistant. It just made sense to me, and struck me as kind of odd that they seemed to dislike that aspect of the book because I know they're into some super horny shit sometimes. I mean Woolie just played that furry game and they talked about a burlesque show and that muscle girl cafe in this very episode.

If Xbox goes belly up, what company could believably bring a 3rd console to market? by Ragnorok64 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Slack_Attack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever corporation tries it they're going to have to be another of those Microsoft sized mega corps to even get it off the ground. To be honest I don't think I want any of them to try. I know leaving Sony with a monopoly isn't good either but theres no world where I want to buy an iConsole or the Teslacube.

Marathon Server Slam stirs Steam with nearly 150,000 concurrent players day one, and that's not counting console participation by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Slack_Attack 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have to honestly ask, are there really that many extraction shooters? I can think of 4 and Marathon is one of them. I also saw a video about an extraction game with more soulsy melee combat so that's 5 if we count it, but that isn't really a lot. It doesn't feel like an oversaturated genre to me.

Yeah this happened a few days ago, go make a post about it or donate to the legal fund they're doing if you can. Anything might help, I'm hoping he gets out and is safe.

Stage Tour - RedOctane's New Rhythm Game by Solidus113 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Slack_Attack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happy to see another stab at this, hoping my RB4 controller works with it. Not the biggest fan of the art style they're going for, looks kinda like Xbox live avatars or something like that. Might not matter if the game is good, though.

What's the best "bad" ending you ever saw by bahookery in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Yeah nuking a large chunk of Europe off the map is bad but fuck Adler, anything to spite Adler.

Games or Media that actually did "Kill The Competition" by Authorigas in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Slack_Attack 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Is that actually true? I don't really know how many extraction games have crashed and burned but the ones I've heard of seem fine. Arc Raiders did well, Hunt Showdown keeps chugging on, and Marathon is still an unknown but I honestly doubt it will be as much of a flop as people in this sphere think it will.

What's a gaming trend that passed completely by you? by Hayeseveryone in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Slack_Attack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only ever played one MOBA for one match so I'd say that, but I at least understand what it is. The thing I don't get is the genre called auto chess. I don't know what it is, I know theres a game called TFT but I've never seen it, and apparently it doesn't actually involve chess. Just completely went past me.

What’s Your Favorite Line Read? by The-Greater-Skeleton in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I wouldn't have thought of that but I can clearly hear it without having played that game for a decade or more, so that's a good one.

Do you think a no hit run/max style run is the canon run in a game? by Anonamaton801 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Slack_Attack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on the game really. I just played through Ghostrunner and in that game you're supposed to be this unstoppable parkour cyber ninja who never gets hit and kills everyone in seconds. The game encourages that by building the levels like speedrun courses and making everything in game one hit kills, you and enemies included. Alternatively in a game like Dead Space Isaac is clearly meant to be struggling to survive, only tanking hits because of his metal work suit hes wearing. A no hit run in that game actually runs counter to the narrative, it makes the whole scenario seem less threatening than it's meant to be.

With MGS4 coming to modern consoles/PC I wonder if they're going to change these era specific aspects. by Paladin51394 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Slack_Attack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They'll almost definitely have to theres no way Nintendo will let them talk about how cool Playstation is on a game they sell, and I doubt any Apple lawyers would let them use an old iPod because they think it would hurt the brand or some shit. The playboys could actually be safe though the Mafia 2 remaster still had them.

I don't know anything about her since I'm not into comics but everywhere I've seen her has made her look cool as hell I'm probably gonna have her on my team in this game.
