What games are the worst offenders with bullet sponges?
Knight Plug replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Surely you already know the answer to this one. π€ π It is the RE2 remake! π§ββοΈ π§ββοΈ π« The zombies in that game are seriously annoying, as they can grab you so easily. This is in spite of how many handgun bullets you may have fired at them. -

Yeah. I'd gone to bed, not knowing. I was thinking, oh man. I stayed up just for this. Then boom. I'm off to bed, sound asleep. This then happens behind my back. LOL. π I used to support Michael Does Life, so we always used to stick it to the fake fans on YouTube and Skype, like during the lockdown. Or at least that's what he called them. Those were fun times. Sadly, he changed, by being too greedy and expecting loads of donations via Super Chat. I don't think the guy is really a huge gamer anyway. He does play them, but I can tell he ain't really daft on games like most people are. So he normally just says the same quotes and stuff. He's good for putting hilarious memes on shirts, I suppose. However, I think RE fans are generally a weird lot anyway. You have like three or four core groups of fans, all because of the time periods these games came out. It has ended up like Star Trek, or something. LOL. People may only like RE4 onwards. Or some people say REs 1 to CV are the real ones, like I guess I do say a lot online. Then we have the RE Engine era remakes, plus RE7 and 8, and now this game. π«’ So as you can imagine, the franchise is just all over the place in the "I'm so confused" department. But the story is understandably hard to follow today, especially since they seem to move on to other things so many times in a trot, without clearing up things they already put in, in previous games, or movies. π

π I always did say that Capcom loves Raccoon City. So much so, they have gone and rebuilt it. π But what's this, I see?

Whenever Alone in the Dark returned, they were usually quite terrible. But did you like the last one? Stay tuned for tomorrow, for potential RE news.

Hideki Kamiya Is Interested In Directing A New Dino Crisis Game

Aye. Have Regina back, looking for Dylan and his daughter. π¦ But, as you know, this is the era of reboots. π«’ -
Are you looking forward to Predator Killer Of Killers?
Knight Plug replied to Heatman's topic in Movies & TV
I thought Predators was a fine return for the series. Those AVP films were so meh. But the first one is an okay watch. I think Sigourney Weaver and Arnie are way too old now to return to their respective roles in either series. There was talk of a crossover or something, that never happened. But in this woke, pedestrian, PG driven era, it would probably just end up being another complete mess anyway. -
Rambo: Last Blood was a rather pointless sequel. It felt more like a Taken movie, or whatever. Stallone could have gave it a different title, but I suppose it would just come across as another direct to VOD kind of film, that has no real appeal or critical acclaim. The fourth movie had 'the perfect ending' to the franchise. John Rambo was persuaded to seek out his family in Arizona, so the way he walks along the road as the credits are rolling, kind of reminds you of the opening to First Blood, which was released in 1982. So that was definitely more like a full circle type finish for Sly's Vietnam veteran character. But then they churned out this gory, vigilante flick, that really doesn't feel like a "Rambo" film. Although admittedly, the last 10 minutes is thrilling while it lasts. No pun intended. "Rambo in name only" certainly applies here!

If Capcom were to remake RE1 again to make it look like the other modern reimaginings we've received, I fear they may mess it up. I mean, RE1 has loads of enemies you can note down, like the big spiders. Recent remakes of RE games have usually left out the spiders, crows, and certain other creatures. But in terms of RE1 in general, some of these things actually kind of impacted the story. After all, Forest the STARS Bravo Team member is found dead on the balcony, in the mansion. His demise came about as crows pecked him to death. But I just feel like since Capcom has altered things in the other remakes, that they'll likely do the same with a second remake of RE1. I mean, some of this stuff is nothing to really moan about it, I guess, as it's considerably subtle. But even so. You may as well at least try to match things up in the right way, or fans will quickly notice the stuff they omit, and feel like it was just left out due to laziness. RE3 was a big let down, sure. But there was certainly still things about RE2 they got wrong. However, in RE3, they decided to remove the ending with Barry. This was particularly lame in my view, since Barry coming to rescue Jill and Carlos in Raccoon City was what completed the dude's redemption arc, after he briefly turned on the STARS unit. Because as you may recall, Albert Wesker threatened his family, so Barry had to reluctantly go along with his orders for a while. But then he sees the light. And so that scene was very important.

According to recent rumours, RE9 may not be expected anytime soon. I hope to see some update about it, as this has been a very dry period for RE news in general. Although if you are a fan of survival horror as a whole, the new Silent Hill movie should be out this fall, as it did receive a distributor. My only concern is that they want to do games about monsters and whatnot, not actually set in Silent Hill. It's like the theme is going to be the same, so you kind of still know it is related. However, in that case, keeping the same name just doesn't feel quite appropriate to me. Because these recent games are about Japanese women dealing with issues, even though the games have nothing but references to Silent Hill. As in, the actual place. That feels like cheating, in a way. But they are set in Japan and Germany. And Silent Hill is located in Maine, I believe. It is in the United States somewhere anyway. I know some other games took place in other areas. So I don't know. Maybe my fussing is just down to a personal preference, or something.

In my opinion, dating sites and anything about escorts or sex work as a whole, is usually a scam platform. While it isn't always a complete scam site depending on your ratio of success with the features it yields, I think it's usually a case of, "I will do something for the highest price, or if I am attracted to you!" Otherwise, it's like a dog chasing its own tail. As in, it's a waste of time. But to be honest, I think they sugar-coat their pages on purpose. I have visited LINK REMOVED for about 18 years, but you may find you will have better luck with your next weekend lottery ticket, quite frankly. They compose what they do as bait, due to the competition they face from better women lurking in this sector. I actually remember when some of these established ladies were novices. They had set up a few low key platforms to sell crappy fetish stuff. However, their aura was generally okay. But once they started to meet people at conventions, they moved on up gradually to become famous. Then their attitude skills just sank so low. No longer were they the decent gals I once tipped and had a good chat with. They ended up pretty cold and creepy, as well as egotistical. And that was sad to witness. If you read what they claim to offer, it's on first glance, a retina burning text essay that looks enticing enough. However, you can easily catch them out in a message. For if they say PSE is offered and you message them to go into details about what you want to try with them, just to get a disinterested or confused type of response, well there you go. They clearly aren't sincere, and they added that nonsense for the suckers to see. Anyway, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. But I think they really just view lonesome men as being gullible, horny idiots, so therein lies my problem. The fact that they label men as incels, simps and trash in public posts is a clear indication that, yes, they are misandrists stamping on people they just see as a pay check. They likely haven't met any of these so-called "simps" they berate either, so how do they know how they are coping in life? Of course, they'll never admit to that level of bullying when challenged on the subject. I really don't like to look down on all sex workers. They can be good at what they do and come across as politely sympathetic, if you acquire the lady with the right attitude. Which sadly, seldomly occurs in a sea of evil doers. But things like sex sites, acting sites, job sites, romance sites and whatnot, basically exist because humans are daft enough to fall for these stupid pit traps. They know people love to be made to feel important. This is why X and Facebook is also universally pointless, as it's all make believe BS to have you playing out a fake persona.

Do you like brownies with or without walnuts?
Knight Plug replied to melanie_marie27's topic in Forum Games & Fun
I wouldn't mind them, but chocolate chips or chunks are my preference. -
Try dissolving it in a saucepan. Then you'll see why all that isn't good for you. π€€ Even sweeteners aren't especially good for anyone.

Is there a TV series that you regretted watching?
Knight Plug replied to Knight Barida's topic in Movies & TV
I cannot think of any. I usually have a good idea of the ones that are absolutely pish. The Walking Dead isn't exactly crap, but you know. They made it convoluted. I remember the original characters. Even Morgan was kind of an original character, even though he had little to do besides showing Rick the way to go, when Morgan chose to look after his son. But once Rick and all that reached these other places, the villains later surrendered and merged with these other groups, including theirs. Then it became so damn woke. I mean, the show was all over the place with storylines about lesbians and pregnant women, and whatever else. Felt like a huge soap opera, just with the odd zombie invasion so you know what show it's called. The last time I looked, they had like, what? 3 or 4 spin off series about Negan, Rick, Daryl, Carol, Michonne and Maggie. -
I don't know what's in store either. I do have a gut feeling that RE9 news isn't too far away after Capcom recently teased it. My only concern is, with how the series has been dog muck for a while because of silliness like RE8 and the terrible spin off media, I don't have as much faith in Capcom as I did when I was in high school. Eventually, you just kind of know when a company is cranking out stuff for a quick dollar. Being almost 40 years of age, I have coped up with a lot of blandness and controversy from them. I thought most of what they released in the 2010s was quite dreck, to be honest, and unlike other people, I have a hard job laughing it off with memes and all that like they do. I mean, Dusk Golem said this will be a reinvention of the series. So hopefully it will be glorious. But I have to see the goods before I can pass comment on how good or bad it is.

Whatβs a habit you would like to pass on to others?
Knight Plug replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
I may be giving up forums soon. They just aren't that active any longer. I must have said that like a thousand times, but I think the attraction has waned for me. It's just the way of life today with pish like X and Facebook. π There's nothing much more to say on Resident Evil, really, as they've just been churning out the same type of crap for years and making the old games seem like the newer games matter more (which bothers me, a lot). But I think it's kind of pointless how Capcom has been rehashing the same storylines, as every medium about Raccoon City exists to milk the heyday of the series. And nobody cares about indie games, even when they do a better job at rejuvenating the genre in general. Maybe if something gets announced which is worth throwing my two cents in for, I will do so. However, there isn't anything of interest to be covering for now. -
Which filmβs legacy do you think will continue to grow over time?
Knight Plug replied to killamch89's topic in Movies & TV
So... They're definitely going to be milking Resident Evil at Capcom HQ and so on, until the day they decide to finally cut the rope. It's quite stupid how they keep returning to Raccoon City. As I often point out, the entire city was destroyed in the original RE3 as a cover up by the government. That game was released in 1999. So why all this retreading? Now they can return to the year 1998 like nobody's business, but change how the characters look. You could have a Filipino Chris in the next movie for all Capcom cares. Like how Rick Yune from Korea, played Edward Carnby in that lame Alone in the Dark sequel. But does that really make any sense? Chris is an American. Although that's just an example of how ridiculous it already was in Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. π€¨ Oh well. Enjoy your 2.5 rating on IMDb, Hollywood. π€ I actually wonder how a RE4 movie would turn out. That one has me kind of curious. I'm actually surprised they haven't did a movie on RE4 by now with CGI villagers, considering fanboys glaze over that overrated action oriented "horror" game so much. π€€ -
