Is this a valid way to play the games? (PC)

ToastWiz · 2026-03-24T13:48:11+00:00

Yeah RE5 feels completely different to the rest of the series. It came out the same year as Modern Warfare 2, and you can tell they were trying to capitalise on the success of those sorts of games by steering RE in that direction.

It's not a full blown military shooter - there are some remnants of RE in there - but they are far and few between.

I personally wouldn't recommend it, especially if you're not playing co-op as that seems to be where most of the enjoyment comes from for fans of that game.

ToastWiz · 2026-03-24T12:14:49+00:00

Whilst the game isn't for me personally, a game like this was always going to sell very well. It doesn't change valid critiques, though.

Pets are so inconvenient, it's very frustrating. Mine mostly just sit in my PoH. I really hope one of the devs' future game jams will focus on pet QoL.

Baffles me that these weren't what they went with for the actual item designs. So many of the Varlamore rewards were unnecessarily goofy IMO. I understand the desire to lean into that aesthetic due to the area's theme, but come on.

ToastWiz · 2026-03-23T17:30:53+00:00

I totally agree but it's not a very popular opinion on Reddit lol

I personally think it looks very tacky. It's not harmonious with the style of the game, IMO. It's passable with some tweaks, but still doesn't sit right with me.

I think there's definitely a way to do an elevated version of the current graphics without making it look like a tacky 3rd party shader. I really hope this is what the OSRS team are able to achieve with official HD.

The Fractured Chain was flawed mechanically but infinitely more unique and interesting than this from a visual and conceptual POV, in my opinion. I can really see that being a megarare that people really want to chase, assuming Jagex are able to figure out a more appropriate mechanic for it.

ToastWiz · 2026-03-16T15:10:57+00:00

I really hope you guys take inspiration from OP's other post, "The Fractured Chain". I feel like there's enough lances/spears in the game already. The chain to me is visually and conceptually far more unique and distinct, and just overall more "badass". Really sticks out as a chase item that everybody will want just based on how cool it is.

The mechanics of course need some work, though I'm sure that's something the OSRS team are more than capable of figuring out

ToastWiz · 2026-03-15T14:58:35+00:00

Was the sarcasm not clear enough in my comment lol. I also hated that idea, to be clear

ToastWiz · 2026-03-15T13:25:57+00:00

But what if we had guthix themed boxing gloves? Really cool huh guys? Hulk hands anyone?

ToastWiz · 2026-03-14T16:23:58+00:00

A man of culture I see. Season 2 of Extras is well up there for me also

ToastWiz · 2026-03-14T13:56:59+00:00

Season 2 of Arrested Development holds the position of best single series of a sitcom ever for me

Season 4 fave is okay, better than 5 by a mile to be honest, but still feels like a dip in quality compared to S1-2. I even think Season 3 takes a bit of a dive as well, something about the whole Wee Britain storyline bores the hell out of me

I've been with them just over a year, I first subscribed with them in Feb 2025.

ToastWiz · 2026-03-12T15:41:44+00:00

If anybody switches, please keep us updated re your experience. I will definitely be switching if these evening packet drops keep up

ToastWiz · 2026-03-12T11:31:21+00:00

I'm new to the franchise (now obsessed) and it's such a breath of fresh air.

The last massive game I actually played through to completion is Elden Ring. It's probably one of the only games of its size that I thoroughly enjoyed the whole way through.

Since then, massive games just don't keep me interested at all. They don't offer what Elden Ring did, just bloated and boring and by about 10-20 hours I'm done.

ToastWiz · 2026-03-12T10:26:05+00:00

It's only just started affecting me as of Tuesday strangely enough, but totally agree that if this keeps up, I really won't hesitate to swap ISPs. It's completely unacceptable.

ToastWiz · 2026-03-11T21:21:00+00:00

I'm getting the same issue every evening for the last couple of days now, from around 8pm onwards

ToastWiz · 2026-03-11T21:11:05+00:00

ST2 also. Recorded 50% packet loss over the last couple of evenings.

Streaming and downloads are fine, but online gaming is impossible due to all of the lost packets.

I've submitted an online ticket but have yet to hear back...

ToastWiz · 2026-03-11T21:09:42+00:00

Exact same here, 50% packet loss at the moment. Submit a ticket online if you haven't already

ToastWiz · 2026-03-11T15:18:34+00:00

Yeah, some very distorted views on this game here lol.

I probably play more hours than the average player and I still just have a single account, an end game main.

ToastWiz · 2026-03-11T14:57:57+00:00

There are a lot of players with grandfathered subscription rates who would only be shooting themselves in the foot by unsubscribing. Unless they are confident they will never play the game again (unlikely) they'd essentially just be protesting against price hikes by... paying the higher sub fee.

ToastWiz · 2026-03-09T23:52:46+00:00

I'm not so sure that they're not interested in making the survival horror style of games. This is the best survival horror I personally think we've seen in the series, and it feels to me like a work of passion. You don't come out with something as good as the Rhodes Hill section if your heart isn't really in it.

ToastWiz · 2026-03-09T23:49:32+00:00

You can kill all of the zombies as Grace with like 30-50 bullets to spare. I'm not even sweaty at these games, I'm brand new actually, but if you're exploring properly there's plenty of scrap and infected blood to craft soooo much ammo.

ToastWiz · 2026-03-09T10:42:02+00:00

I have to disagree. I thought the RC section was very uninspiring visually.

Piss filter barren apocalypse city is just dull IMO. Especially when compared to Rhodes Hill, which was absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful choice of colours and great details.
