Boblee reacted to Knight Plug in I finally conceded, and have giving up on Resident Evil...
Long rant ahead...
*WARNING*
I basically decided to stop caring about the franchise due to online trolls, and overall, Capcom's mismanagement of certain games and characters. And, well, personal issues has made me just not care any longer, since life is short.
For a number of years, I feel like Capcom hasn't been fully honest with their fans. For instance, they stole art work for the games, and were legally threatened. And by the way, they ripped off a bunch of movies and games, for RE7 especially, which didn't really feel like a RE game anyway. The Molded look so basic, because Capcom just wanted a new creature design that was plain easy to make on the screen. They just wanted to copy Outlast type games as well, and probably due to the fact that Silent Hills was cancelled into the bargain, they wanted to change over to the first person perspective. Yet everybody praised it. Although personally, it was strictly okay to me, but nothing like the classic games. Even RE6 (which I know many fans dislike) is more of a RE game than 7 is, because it had zombies, and many returning characters were featured. Perhaps a critical failure, but more in line with what RE used to provide than with 7, and especially 8. Plus, the C-Virus makes you think of the T and G-Viruses, because of the name. But yep. It could also remind you of COVID-19, so oops.
RE8 (aka Village) is not necessarily so crap, I would not recommend it. But it's very underwhelming as a RE game. Feels mostly like an action game with Chris at least looking like Chris (instead of that lame new actor they got for the ending scene and DLC in RE7), but now he is making dumb, headstrong decisions and concealing info from Ethan Winters (the faceless new "face" of RE) just to pad out the story, and the bosses are laughable, even for RE standards. Like, a mutant baby, vampires, a robot, and a living doll are your antagonists this time around. Like, yeah, okay. RE4 had ogres and a pirate midget, and there was also a statue based on the pirate that somehow activates, and you have to run away, and the two games are similar, because of a village, a castle and a merchant being present.
Now in my opinion, new RE Games are simply not terrifying. RE entries 1, 2, 3, 0, CV and the early spin offs had atmosphere and a good story. The new games hardly have any music or that same feeling of dread and eeriness. The game practically has a shopping system in it so you can go all Rambo on everything. So that's not even scary. If you have enough cash at hand, it's a breeze to survive, when all you need to do is find the Duke or the Merchant, and flog them treasures.
And nostalgia often hurts this series; I honestly don't know how many times Capcom has revisited Raccoon City and the year 1998. Even that upcoming movie is going back to that year, as if Capcom does not have the balls to move to another era. Like, come on. Move things ahead, and stop doing remakes that suck, because you leave out enemies like the spiders and the crows, half bake it, and rush them out. And I cannot say a RE4 remake even interests me, because that game wrecked the survival horror genre to a degree, and if they remake it, people will soon notice all the missing stuff, because I know Capcom will change up the whole game, potentially ruining it. But I'm not really a guy who can proclaim to loving RE4, but it's still an impressive enough game. It's just nothing like the older ones. But Candy Stick has failed to persuade people otherwise...
Now for the RE2 and 3 remakes, the story should have been identical to the older games, and the 2002 remake was way more faithful. Why leave out Barry, for example? Wasn't he supposed to save Jill and Carlos!? 😞
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is a noted rip off of The Last of Us, because of the first Bloater fight. You even leave via a window after it ends. Except that huge hulking thing is called a Vulcanblubber, that launches fire rather than fungal spores. But it's just the same boss battle, really. And they also copied the father-daughter theme, and there's a winter section where you shoot rabbits. So um, yeah. Nobody can deny that Capcom did not copy Naughty Dog's ideas. That's just stupid, and suggests they lack any originality anymore. However, this kind of rant normally falls on deaf eyes on places like GameFAQs, and they'll come at people all guns blazing if you say s*** about games they appreciate.
My mouse is wonky.

Boblee reacted to Heatman in Does anyone else find configuring brightness for games confusing?
We are in an era where technology is the best at its apex now and as such video games companies should be at their very best when it comes to their graphics upgrades.

Wow, that looks awesome. The jump and spin driving trick my Mario in the trailer in slow motion is unbelievably incredible.

You can't write off what you have to feel with your decisions in Spec Ops : The Line having to burn innocent people and children with white Phosphorus.

It's nice hearing that you haven't experienced any kind of bugs in the game yet. I'm definitely working on getting the game sooner.

Boblee reacted to The Blackangel in If you fail to complete a task many, many times in a game, do you want the game to offer you to skip it?
Reviews are always completely biased, which is why I always skip them. If I had listened to them, I would have missed out on several of my favorite games. Many of which were made by LJN. So as far as I'm concerned, fuck reviews.

They all run pretty smooth. COD Vanguard’s spawn-killing can be pretty wild, though!

Boblee got a reaction from Heatman in PC game to play in free time at work?
Looks like a space ship shooting game. It looks weird if you ask me. I never liked that kind of game.

Boblee got a reaction from Heatman in Moments in games when you don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't really think that there's been any games that are made which could possibly make me to cry. I might feel sad but not really cry.

Boblee got a reaction from Heatman in Pro Controllers
For a hardware (Pro Controller) that I purchased that costly, it's definitely supposed to give everything which I craved for to purchase the controllers.

Boblee got a reaction from Heatman in What deals are you hoping for this Black Friday/Cyber Monday?
I was actually shocked hearing that someone is saying that Amazon doesn't do any Black Friday deals because I believe that most online selling platform offers Black Friday deals to their customers.

Boblee got a reaction from Heatman in Why do old PS1/PS2 controllers have gross analog sticks?
Personally I'm very well satisfied with the way the console controller of PlayStation 5 is built till today because it makes the usage very easy for gamers.

Boblee got a reaction from Heatman in Your favourite game series?
I think I came across a thread in the forum where the admin advertised about or started a contest of giving the game to someone that wins the contest.

Boblee reacted to Shagger in PC game to play in free time at work?
I remember @Crazycrab posting about this game. Something that loads into an empty webpage when the internet is down. Of course, that would have to be somewhat limited, right?
Well, Opera GX now have thier own equivalent and, em, let's just say it's more ambitious...
You can try it out here.

Boblee reacted to StaceyPowers in Liminal spaces in games
It's hard to think of specifics--I don't think I have anything as cool as @Reality vs Adventure's reply. But maybe standing at the docks at the Citadel in Mass Effect 3, looking out the window at the Normandy.

North Point Mall in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is one those supermarkets you could have easily sworn that you have visited in real life based on how it's presented in the game.

Alright mate. I will definitely be looking forward to it sooner rather than later. Good playing mate.

Boblee got a reaction from Family sedan in What is the most games you ever played in a year?
It kinda helps you to know and monitor how you get addicted to playing a particular game and control it the sooner the better before it goes out of hands.

Boblee got a reaction from Family sedan in Can you play till old age?
Age is nothing but numbers in my opinion. I believe it's one's health that comes to play when it it comes how long one can play.

Mortal Kombat 1 is definitely a good one we played as kids. I still relish on the game's memory.
