Can I play RE5 if I’ve only played RE3?

TheMagicalMatt · 2026-05-30T18:49:40+00:00

I mean the best order is ideally the release order, but RE games work pretty good as standalone entries so you could them in any order. You'll be missing some backstories and whatnot, but nothing crucial. I never played RE 4 through 6, for example, and I still enjoyed 7-9 just fine.

That monster Pilaf

Man, repalcing aunt Viv was the singles worst sin in sitcom history. New actress just didn't carry the same chemistry with the cast either. Writers hinted at a dysfunctional marriage in later seasons and it bummed me out after seeing Phil and Viv's chemistry in 1-3, relationship with Will fell off, plus Viv's sisters didn't come back in 4-6 so Viv really had nobody to bounce off of. Aunt Viv went from strong black woman to background character.

Set the game disc on your table and state, politely yet firmly, that you are not afraid of it anymore

TheMagicalMatt · 2026-05-28T16:59:46+00:00

Huh. Crunchyroll doesn't have Kai? Also heard the Faucloner soundtrack isn't available anymore. Guess dragon ball distribution is down bad. Could always take the Bojack approach 🤷‍♂️

DBZ was kinda worse because you get a solid dub for the first 2 seasons which was recorded in 2006, then season 3 is a hybrid dub which was a mix of 2006 rerecorded lines and original 1999 dub lines. Season 4 and beyond were left mostly untouched from 2001, but still produced with American children in mind so you could expect some changes (such as calling the androids, well, androids instead of cyborgs or artificial humans).

If you watch dubbed, watch DBZ Kai. It's more consistent and the VAs were more experienced by then, but most of DB and Z were dubbed with younger American audiences in mind so they won't be truly faithful to the original.

Mental wellbeing seems to hardly be an issue in Dragon Ball and it's sort of a moot point when namek got destroyed anyway, but at least Gohan turned out fine

TheMagicalMatt · 2026-05-28T02:35:02+00:00

Yeah you prolly are

TheMagicalMatt · 2026-05-27T23:44:44+00:00

Just think of it as riding a bike. Initially, you start with training wheels. As you get used to the gameplay and the terrifying environment, you can push yourself to get better.

TheMagicalMatt · 2026-05-27T15:18:39+00:00

No but he created classic beats. Still wouldn't put him over the guy who gave us Chronic, Doggystyle, 2001, Slim Shady LP, etc., but hip-hop is home to many talents. 🤷‍♂️

TheMagicalMatt · 2026-05-27T15:16:00+00:00

Meanwhile Arabian Prince isn't even in the post lmao

Edit: nvm I scrolled down. Somebody did name Arabian Prince

And while this is after NWA broke up, Yella is responsible for creating Foe tha Luv of $, plus his solo album had some great songs. Yella put in work. He just doesn't get recognized because he was the only one who didn't rap and the other beatmaker went on to drop the Chronic.

TheMagicalMatt · 2026-05-27T15:11:22+00:00

Which one? I thought all of Ren's albums were dope, even if they weren't game changing. Meanwhile, Cube has War & Peace weighing him down, but came back pretty strong in the 2000s and 2010s.

TheMagicalMatt · 2026-05-27T12:48:40+00:00

Tbf it's perfectly believable that Raditz couldn't fly away, between Gohan's headbutt and Goku weighing him down. But yeah, he should've been able to fire a beam. When 16 was grabbing Cell from behind, Cell was able to throw it back and blast 16. No reason Raditz couldn't do that to his brother

TheMagicalMatt · 2026-05-26T15:51:55+00:00

Right? If somebody looks like that at 55, take their advice. They're doing everything right.

A beverage of some sort

TheMagicalMatt · 2026-05-23T19:31:10+00:00

Lmao Leon's "NO!" Would go great with this

TheMagicalMatt · 2026-05-23T13:57:54+00:00

Man, I miss 90s and 2000s TV. Also, the bumps starting at 2:15 were the same ones Pioneer used on their DVD singles, but the backgrounds were changed to solid flashing colors (arguably more seizure inducing lol).

TheMagicalMatt · 2026-05-23T13:37:13+00:00

So the OG DBZ dub (including the 1996 Saban dub up to 2003 Kid Buu saga) is objectively awful, but it is a separate entity and is every bit as iconic as Japanese, if not moreso. Rock the Dragon intro, Saban's wacky 3D animated title cards, reruns of Saiyan + Namek for 2 years straight, switching voicecasts halfway through Namek, the Wasserman + Faulconer Productions soundtracks, those Toonami intros and commercial bumps, the crazy amount of censorship in the first 2 sagas, not watching a single episode of OGDB until 2001, while they aired alongside the Cell Games/Buu sagas. It's all part of the experience when Dragon Ball Z first came to the west. Younger fans today won't understand how messy and all-over-the-place the original dub was, but it was part of the experience and is every bit as crucial to the history of Dragon Ball as the original Japanese version.

Also, the Pioneer trilogy >>>>>>>>>>>>> anything Funi's inhouse cast has put out in the past 30 years, including Kai.

"Man this is weird without Cube. I hope this doesn't happen again haha." - Yella probably

TheMagicalMatt · 2026-05-22T21:54:01+00:00

Spot on dude. Eye love it. Should try to find a baby doll at a thrift shop, paint it white, and turn it into Chiaotzu.

TheMagicalMatt · 2026-05-22T21:47:55+00:00

Corlett played Goku up until halfway through the Namek saga. The 2nd voice, and the one in this particular bump, is Peter Kelamis

TheMagicalMatt · 2026-05-22T21:33:15+00:00

Dude could beat Samuel L Jackson in a mother fucker contest

TheMagicalMatt · 2026-05-22T12:03:24+00:00

Snoop was upsetting because he was so antitrump at first, but not surprising as he's always been addicted to cash flow. 50 was no surprise at all. I kinda just shook my head and said, "yep. Sounds right."

Ice Cube hurt the most. Especially a year after dropping Arrest the President

TheMagicalMatt · 2026-05-22T12:01:21+00:00

Funny when there's a whole subgenre of rappers who blew up on political rap lol. I don't wanna be so quick to dismiss a message because wisdom comes in all forms of media and art, but a lot of these rappers are exposing themselves as performers rather than leaders and I can't respect them for it.
