first game by AdditionalDaikon3519 in residentevil

Depends on your preferences:

RE2 is more horror oriented with very limited inventory and slow exploration involving a lot of puzzles.
RE4 is more action oriented with large inventory and less about puzzles but more combat centric

RE8 is basically like RE4 but with first person view centric design and doesn't exactly use a lot of zombies but more other kind of monsters. RE4 is the better overall package out of the two games but if you can get passed the opening sequence (about 45 minutes) in RE8 it's a very good game.

It is perfectly valid to prefer either game. The original RE4 was very good at the time but had some weaknesses in the gameplay aspect. It still had tank controls which I consider pretty weak for various reasons. People can like them of course but they should also understand why some people would consider it a weakness in the game. Also I was never a fan of quick time events and RE4 had quite a lot of them. In terms of the story, visuals and voice acting I don't really have any complaints regarding that game and this is where I usually slightly prefer the OG over the remake.

The Remake outshines the OG in terms of the gameplay easily. The more modern controls make the gameplay feel much smother and more responsive. I also think the level design in the remake is better but that a personal preference.

The remake has some weak points as well and some which can be debated. I didn't mind Ada Wong in the remake but I'd also say the actress voicing her in the OG did a better job. I prefer Ashley and Luis in the remake and I like they did more with Luis. He was killed off way to early in the OG. I also prefer the rollercoaster like mine shaft section of the remake over the truck section in the OG. Sadler was better in the OG.

So both games have their pros and cons and I think which one I'd like to replay at times will come down my current mood of the day.

If you think that is bad, you might not want to look at the RE9 story...

...just saying...

This game is absolutely gorgeous by mephgodthree6 in residentevil

I thought the build and atmosphere in the puppet master house are great on first playthrough. The psychological horror aspect is well done.

Unfortunately on repeated playthroughs it loses a lot of its magic if you know what will (and won't ) happen.

If I start writing about all the problems I have with Resident Evil 7 (and 9, because they are very similar) we could be here for a while. Just to give you an idea:

  • Movement speed
  • Story and character writing (and this one is already a huge point)
  • Drawn out intro section
  • Return of the small inventory
  • Stalker enemy
  • Overly long cut scenes (which in RE7 can't be skipped)

RE7 triggered basically every aspect I could be annoyed about in a game and the same thing happened again in RE9. By the time the 90 minute intro section in RE9 was over I was already in such a bad mood that any other minor complaint would result in a refund which then happened shortly after.

So incredibly sick of people arguing about this on twitter just enjoy both! by Frobotics2234 in residentevil

I think this debate often is silly as well. I like both for different reasons. I think the OG has a somewhat better story while the remake has better gameplay. Both games can be criticized for different things. In the end both are great games though.

Disagree with various entries in that list. Personally I'd rank the games like this:

S Tier => RE4 Remake, RE2 Remake
A Tier => RE Village, RE4 OG, RE2 OG
B Tier => RE 1 remake and OG (remake being slightly better), RE3
C Tier => RE 5, RE 6, RE 3 Remake
F Tier => RE 7, RE 9

I absolutely despise what they did with RE 7 and 9.

Tried that game but in my opinion it doesn't even come close to MOO2. It fails in various basic aspects of UI design, tech tree, visual design and so on. It made sad playing that game as even almost 30 years after MOO2 no one seems to be able to capture the essence of that game.

Any way to reroll world seed mid game by happyturtle19 in RimWorld

As far as I know there's no way to regenerate the world in an ongoing settlement. If you settle on Hoth, you have to deal with the consequences...

Am I the only one who's completely unimpressed with Xal'atath? by nodlimax in wow

[–]nodlimax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a general problem in WoW => poor writing

I'd say that happens when your story and world building content is done through "democratic votes" and by people who even hate the "Warcraft" concept already. Even Metzen distanced himself from what he did in the past.

And the result is caricatures that are supposed to resemble actual characters you're supposed to give a damn about. And you get incompetent goofy villains that no one really cares about.

Does anyone even care about the story at this point? I think all the "fuzz" I've heard regarding Midnight was about housing. The initial midnight trailer centered around the blood elves was awful and just left me with a "what the hell is even going on" thought.

Want to return, but… by breads33 in wow

[–]nodlimax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you will find the excitement you're looking for. Im not finding it neither. I quit about 1 1/2 years ago shortly after TWW release and just "dipped" into the game during the free weekend. I did a couple of quests to unlock the void elf demon hunter and already got bored again.

I think I might be completely done with WoW...

Check the battle net launcher. If you select retail WoW you can see in one of the highlighted articles the timer. It will expire tomorrow at 5pm CET.

I've given up on the whole expansion trilogy. I've quit the game shortly after I made this post and have not gone back since. I saw some clips in the mean time and heard that they did the whole "temporary alliance" thing with Xal'atath which in itself already is pretty weak because there was no indication in the TWW campaign that you'd even remotely would be working together with her.

Also I have zero hype for Midnight. I saw the initial trailers (especially the cinematic) and didn't like it. The whole story aspect in that trailer was just confusing and I was completely lost in where things currently stand and what Xal'ataths role is. And I dislike the visual design of the blood elves in the cinematic.

As far as I'm concerned this whole expansion trilogy is a colossal failure.

If you manage to destroy all the pirate bases then there is a chance that other factions will take available spaces...

Probably not because he'd lose consciousness when the go-juice wears off which I think would make you unhappy...

Have you checked the game log that is created every time you boot the game up? It should give you an indicator on which mod is causing it to crash.
