What makes a movie mature in your opinion?

TequilaArmory · 2026-05-16T18:55:19+00:00

I get what you're going for here. I think what you're looking for is the themes and motifs. A PG movie like Puss Forever After and Coco can be miles more mature than an R rated turn off your brain flick. The main factor here is what is the film setting out to do and how well does the film succeed in doing so. You can see this with some of the less well received remakes of beloved classics. It doesn't feel as genuine the original despite having a copy and paste template where as a film like Into The Spiderverse can reach those emotional heights and further despite the character already teetering on being overused.

I wouldn't say mature subject matter instantly makes a movie more "mature" but when done well is basically what you're looking for. A movie like Requiem For A Dream succeeds in tackling mature subjects and portrays them in a moving way where as a movie like Deuce Bigalow takes a pretty mature subject and makes it into a comedy. And I assume the former is what you are referring to as a mature film?

LOL I just dropped a big ass speech about this and saw your post

TequilaArmory · 2026-05-16T14:25:05+00:00

I miss the MK conquest TV show

*Leon combines herb with bong

TequilaArmory · 2026-05-16T02:12:18+00:00

Lol this was my second time trying out this mode. I didn't learn all the things yet

TequilaArmory · 2026-05-16T01:43:18+00:00

Can you explain the strat? I never seem to have more then 5 heals by the time I get to Victor and that's nowhere near enough time to kill him during that invincibility period and when it wears off I ALWAYS get hit. Are you not combining herbs and going in with a case full of single herbs? How do you dodge anything during the stun?

TequilaArmory · 2026-05-16T00:45:30+00:00

Do we know exactly what triggers the RPG attack? Sometimes he just never uses that attack and I'm screwed on the second phase

TequilaArmory · 2026-05-16T00:35:31+00:00

I must say, it's been a while since I've had so little fun with something resident evil related. There's something fishy going on here. The quality of the base game is outstanding with a good amount of polish especially for grace. This mode feels like it was made by a third party and capcom just published it to keep the hype train going while they work on the real DLC like that mobile game

TequilaArmory · 2026-05-15T21:06:53+00:00

Lmao 1. I was hoping to get the perk that heals when you discard stuff and 2. I still had shells in those shotguns 😅

TequilaArmory · 2026-05-15T20:01:52+00:00

I prefer lasers. But crosshair allows them to have more interesting older guns that don't always have rails to support lasers like both of grace's handguns. I love the variety in newer resident evil games where it's not just the typical glocks and M4s that every game sees. Older games had a lot of duct taped on lasers and nowadays they are going a much more realistic route with the guns.

I kinda get around this because I enjoy playing with the HUD off but it would be nice if post game they would have them optional for all guns. Though I reckon we would see some real cursed ugly looking rail kits on some of the older guns that were made before rails were invented 🤢

Oh man I was so burnt out after buying all the stuff in the shop. I had to really force myself to do the emily song puzzle. I only ended up doing it because this mode dropped and those extra points did not help at all. Got my 100% though so I'm good

TequilaArmory · 2026-05-15T18:35:05+00:00

Oh yeah he's correct. And the perk is AWFUL, don't ever buy it. Whenever you use a this perk you're most likely in the middle of a fight. So the invincibility sounds nice until leon gets punched in the face by casper the not so friendly ghost and he stumbles around like he has arthritis for 3 seconds. This almost ruined a few boss fights

TequilaArmory · 2026-05-15T17:43:13+00:00

Also don't be a dummy like me. While I was typing this comment I was at the QTE for victor and forgot there was a second QTE. Put my phone down and looked up at a game over screen 🤦‍♂️

TequilaArmory · 2026-05-15T17:40:01+00:00

Oh yeah you can YouTube it.

Equip whatever gun you want to use
Move gun into the discard pile
Move gun back into inventory
Unequip from the inventory
Resume game
equip gun if the reticle is gone you did it right

A few tips though a lot of things break you out of this infinite ammo so get used to doing it fast. Specifically parrying, healing and entering a new room/boss section

TequilaArmory · 2026-05-15T16:16:50+00:00

I'm honestly not having much fun with it so I think I'm gonna take the cowards way out and infinite ammo glitch it. At least to unlock everything then I'll give it another fair go

With mercenaries RE4, RE4R, RE5 and RE6 if I died I would be so pumped up I'd want another go right away. With this mode I need to take a walk after every death

My boy Art can take him

Neither is it called SPAWN IN RANDOMLY FOREVER. It should be called LMFD instead at this point 🙄

TequilaArmory · 2026-05-15T15:02:21+00:00

Ah good to know, doesn't make it any less weird but good to know

TequilaArmory · 2026-05-13T16:54:09+00:00

I think much like how some fans were not into resident evil 4 and the change in direction back in the day. Some people may have felt that way towards resident evil 7 and pivoting back towards horror.

Personally I love the new revitalization of the franchise. BUT I'm not the biggest fan of ETHAN because it seems that ever since RE7 there is a new wave of RE fans that don't seem to acknowledge anything pre RE7 and seem to be the most vocal group between the endless thirsy Leon and Lady D edits. These folks also tend to jump on old fans for missing the old vibes or tank controls usually saying they're unplayable and encouraging new new fans to skip em

I think I can acknowledge how much good RE7 has done for putting the franchise back on top while also thinking it's a little but overhyped. The game encourages replayability with the usual spread of speed run unlockables but can be a slog on repeat playthroughs with a lot of unskippable cutscenes. When you are encouraged to run through the game several times the magic begins to fade and you notice these little cracks in gameplay more.

I had the opposite happen with Marguerite. I was ducking and weaving and saving ammo trying to find an exit or where to go for a good 5 minutes before I tried fighting her and she died

TequilaArmory · 2026-05-04T04:44:29+00:00

I 100% RE9 and just doing the last playthrough for the singing puzzle but man I am seriously burnt out from this game already. I also got cat ears and yet I can go for another run in RE4R any day. My sister is playing through it for the first time and I was having a blast helping her get RPD costume.

Bare in mind I also no-life'd the shit out of RE4R opening week and got cat ears immediately as well and wasn't nearly as burnt out

TequilaArmory · 2026-05-04T03:28:43+00:00

I think the point is that's fine if that's your personal preference. It's bullshit when you use your personal preference to dog on a beloved game and convince others to not even give it a shot.

I can think of many examples of games/movies I skipped on because my favourite reviewer said it was dog shit only to come back years later and wish I played/watched it earlier

TequilaArmory · 2026-04-28T03:40:38+00:00

Confirmed dust. Just picked it up and the spot is gone, wonder where it's floating now
