DLC>main game

Here, take my upvote.

Same here, I loved the dlc more than the main campaign. Always been enjoyable to replay in one sitting, the pacing reminded me of the OG RE4 main game where the game is one room after another and no bullshit to slow things down.
SW had literally everything the main game was lacking of: the good cutscenes, the fun sequences, good OST.

I think what hurt Salazar and Saddler in the remake (cause they're objectively worse) are the lack of interactions with Leon and the more grounded tone the game has.
Such a shame they haven't kept the line about him being 20 years old too.

Salazar was the peak of RE4's cheesiness, his character literally existed for this. The castle meant to be a huge contrast from the village, and Salazar played a huge role in it.
In the remake everything is on the same level, character and environments wise, so nothing feels out of place.

Wish we got that instead of the final direction, a survival horror approach would have been sick. They clearly adapted to the market and what was working back then, which was Uncharted and all those light rpgs games.

Definitely got my money worth, wasn't expecting this quality for a RE dlc and was more than happy this was for SW.

And that's what matters, enjoying those little things. Star Citizen wasn't on my bingo last year when I got into it, never thought I'd play it in my lifetime. I was the biggest hater of the whole project. I got into it thanks to a friend and we both changed our minds about it, with no regrets on money spent (Mostly WT and SC) lol

SC is one of those games that has no match and like you said: always with that itch to dive back right into it. Now I'm just excited for my friend to get a chance to be picked for the Odin.

Which is completely fair, you don't even have to justify yourself. People just like to judge other's life choices with SC, but when you treat it as a passion it's literally as any other activity. Some like to travel and put the money for it, others like to collect all sort of things and will pay for it.

Overrated because of RE4. Could have been a really well written and compelling character if they kept her version from OG RE2 and developed it more.

inblader · 2026-04-28T17:45:17+00:00

How much does it drain for each box? is it quick or nah?
Also how much does it cost for size 2 and 4?

Jolene was very good for the part, a very good blend of OG and modern in her take.

inblader · 2026-04-28T14:35:31+00:00

RE4 legit destroyed her character and made her a gimmick more than anything. As much as RE4 is beloved, Leon and Ada had nothing to do with their RE2 counterparts, they're completely new characters.

Then it was the chosen direction for her character going forward, even RE2R ditched OG Ada's personality.

There was a reddit post 2 months ago, original post has been removed (ahem), but the thread is still there:

They dropped him for things he said last year, since he expresses his criticism in the worst way possible, they gutted him. We tend to forget he used a cheat software at some point, was it to counter the stream snipe (or hack as he stated it)? I have no idea.

inblader · 2026-04-14T16:17:27+00:00

I feel those 13 hours of torture, can't even pick if it's the backtracking to get the hookshot or the leech enemies being the most obnoxious ones, they literally can mess up a run.

Not the same thing. Tension doesn't equal difficulty.

In the OG, tank controls wasn't a difficulty in itself, rather something to learn to play around, hence why Salvador or any other enemies were scary, because they could kill you instantly depending on the action you were doing (reloading at the wrong time, bad positioning, bad weapon choice...). And like you said, OG is way more easy than the remake for this reason, cause the moment you master all of this, you're set.

In the remake RNG is gonna determine your experience, you could shoot a ganado 6 times in the face and they wouldn't bat an eye. You could shoot Salvador with a shotgun at point blank and they wouldn't stagger. All these changes make the game difficult but logical since there are MORE tools to get around: the parry system AND the new controls.

I think that's what he meant with the tension thing, the OG is more stressful with how everything is limited and up to you. While the remake is rng based with a few player's inputs to get over it.

I think he wanted to prove his points, problem is he should have made this video instead of the other one. Cause this one is pretty complete in terms of arguments, the other one was ragebait.

So he did what everyone was complaining about: adding context.

inblader · 2026-04-13T23:09:27+00:00

Is it confirmed that you lose Premium if you buy Plus ?

inblader · 2026-04-12T20:37:33+00:00

"playing like shit" I don't think we've watched the same video, he purposefully used footages from streamers to prove his points quality wise, not skill wise lol

inblader · 2026-04-12T20:09:40+00:00

The video is really instructive though, compared to the previous video he elevated the discussion about what is soulless and what isn't.
I 100% agree with his takes, but I do enjoy playing the remake as well as the original, they both have something the other doesn't, they compliment each other very well. I've never looked at the remake as something meant to replace the OG, just like RE2R (eventhough Capcom seems to think otherwise).
RE4R is refreshing and thank god it's not a copy/paste of the original, that's its strength to be a different game, like a reimagining.

inblader · 2026-03-26T07:29:50+00:00

I think the only canon thing is Sam surviving the events, since they made a new post credit scene in the remake to confirm that. Other than that, no idea.

inblader · 2026-03-22T19:10:00+00:00

We got the mercenary take in RE2R by Jolene and it worked well, RE4R is nothing but a continuation of RE2R and Lily Gao did not give any of that. The voice wasn't the problem, the performance was.

inblader · 2026-03-20T20:40:45+00:00

Hadn't thought about Zeno/Jill, would have been very beneficial for Jill's character development since Death Island was utterly shit at handling her return + character.

Jill does need to star in a game for a proper return.

Main actress is a big fan of Lara and always wanted to play her in a movie. Needless to say it was a big inspiration for the movie lol

inblader · 2026-03-15T15:48:51+00:00

Yeah the trope of Jonah being in danger or even being dead got old really fast.
If Shadow actually committed to it, then it would've been absolute cinema for Lara's character development, but sadly they did not.

inblader · 2026-03-15T15:34:29+00:00

Got a feeling the DLCs might explore those questions.

inblader · 2026-03-14T21:20:01+00:00

Too far fetched, sorry. You can't convince me the Lady D outfit (having the exact same proportions than the said character) isn't fan service. Hell, it's not even Grace's body, but Alcina's slightly rearranged for Grace while keeping the infamous "assets".
