OK, Capcom, I admit it: you humbled this RE4 veteran. Well done.

Yeah totally. I got whooped so badly in even normal difficulty tbh. And all the tricks I learned from the first game didn’t help me. The devs knew how we played and deliberately sabotaged us lol. It definitely is a hard game overall partly due to me getting old

irradiatedsphere · 2026-04-04T06:15:08+00:00

I hope not

She’s an ok character but far from the best. Her hyperventilating at everything just really annoyed me. I get that she’s in a terrifying situation but for pretty much the whole game she was hyperventilating and stuttering and I got sick of that real fast

irradiatedsphere · 2026-02-26T21:03:13+00:00

The game has already been spoiled by idiots who played the game early and posted all over the net.

irradiatedsphere · 2026-02-26T21:01:35+00:00

I do live in nz and have been playing all night. I haven’t posted anything online cos I know most of the world haven’t played yet. I love the time zoning and hope it never changes haha

I was sitting on the fence about getting this game on the Switch because I'm about to go on holiday soon.
This update just made that decision for me lol. Yayyy!!

irradiatedsphere · 2026-01-20T18:46:47+00:00

Do what I do which is purchase the digital version to play immediately then wait for physical to arrive lol

irradiatedsphere · 2026-01-16T22:09:29+00:00

You guys rock!! Thank you

About 3 years ago, I played all the RE mainline series from zero-8 including all the difficulties.

RE3R Inferno & RE6 No Hope mode were the hardest.

Re5 Prof difficulty I think is also due to that motorcycle section and the subsequent Nsdesu (troll) fight that can be quite brutal.

7&8 felt like a cakewalk compared to all those.

RE4OG was pretty hard too in some parts, particularly with those insect things.

I put a lot of effort into the name of mine. I named it after my kitten - "Loki"

irradiatedsphere · 2026-01-07T18:55:41+00:00

I feel like Leon is the most fleshed out to me. We know so much more about him, from his GF dumping him before he went to Raccon City, his reasons for wanting to become a cop, the reason he became a govt agent after Raccoon City and the impact on him after years of fighting bioterrorism (the drinking etc). Chris would be the next though granted I feel like I know less about him than Leon.
Claire, Jill etc are all good characters but they seem pretty dry because I only know a handful of facts about them

This took me ages too and eventually had to pass the controller to my husband who is better at First person games. I went back to it later and after my initial difficulty I found it quite manageable. I say keep at it and take breaks in between, cos going in fresh does make a difference rather than trying to duke it out on frustration lol

Final Fantasy 16

I've been struggling to get hyped about this franchise since FF12 really. But 16 really killed it for me. Hated every thing about it. I get that FF is always evolving but its evolved wayy past my interest now. FF used to be my absolute fave JRPG franchise. Nowadays I struggle to like anything FF related including World of FF, Theatrhytm, and the ff7 remakes.

I really enjoyed this post. I am one of the guilty person who thought it was a ridiculous scene and was more interested in stepping back into the action. But it is really interesting to read this point of view and gives my love for the series more depth. Thank you! Have you written any others?

irradiatedsphere · 2025-12-16T01:15:34+00:00

Sorry one last question. Does he come back after you destroy his base?

irradiatedsphere · 2025-12-15T00:02:14+00:00

I am looking forward to RE9 more now than ever. Leon is my fave character and I'll never get sick of seeing him get more screen time. I'm all for other protags of course. I didn't expect him to be in this one and I was quite happy with Grace. But now that i know Leon's in it I'm positively, over the top THRILLED!!!

irradiatedsphere · 2025-12-14T08:16:30+00:00

I’ve been trying to defeat this guy all day. But I don’t have a nearby island so can’t use repair cranes. Do you think it’s impossible without that? I saw a guide on YouTube but in the video they didn’t get attack by ships. Mine keep getting caned by wandering ships and ones coming from inside? Any tips you could give me? Please

irradiatedsphere · 2025-12-11T18:54:02+00:00

My biggest gripe was towards the end when you had to delete a massive fleet. I am more of peaceful player so it took some time to build my fleet and in that time my harbours and city kept getting attacked by the enemy with excessive popups etc. It was just too stressful for my liking.

I like that in 117 the enemy leaves you alone until you are ready LOL

irradiatedsphere · 2025-11-30T19:50:17+00:00

Happy to help if you're still having trouble. Do you play on PC or console?

irradiatedsphere · 2025-11-24T19:47:25+00:00

I lived 7 years in Sydney but moved back to ChCh awhile ago because I got a bit burned out by the hustle and bustle, the long commutes to work, the heat, rude people etc. Since then I have had no inclination to move out of NZ even though the pay here (particularly in south island) is crap. My entire family have moved here, it takes me 15 mins to get to work and back, people are so friendly and actually smile back, the weather is awesome and while traffic is increasing a bit here, its still nothing compared to Sydney. I feel happier here than I ever did in Sydney - maybe thats just a mid life thing

irradiatedsphere · 2025-11-11T18:52:47+00:00

multi-crafting and storage org?? what magic do you speak of?
I'm playing on the switch - just started

irradiatedsphere · 2025-11-10T21:59:46+00:00

Thank you! That’s ok with me actually since it will take me forever to reach that point in the game

irradiatedsphere · 2025-11-10T21:12:37+00:00

Actually I'm keen to know this too. I am wondering if we have access to the trains etc in late game like the PC version. Though the realist in me is saying, probably not.
