Off Topic Discussion Megathread

My middle kitty, Kazzak, named after the Doom Lord in WoW because he was a Doom Lord as a kitten:

My oldest kitty, Khan, named after Shere-Khan in Jungle Book and because I liked the Star Trek reference too:

Sadly most of my family has allergies towards cats so I have never had one as a pet, but we had lots of dogs. It seems Capcom are going to reveal something https://www.capcom-games.com/countdown/ would be nice to have a dragons dogma 2.

Those graphics for the countdown reminds me a lot of Resident Evil.
It might be RE4 Remake it has already been leaked if I remember correctly.

Edit: Another remake I am worried about.
I loved the RE2 remake altho it did miss a lot of stuff from the original but it was still a really great game.
The RE3 remake I felt was too much like a generic action movie, I didn't like how Jill became such a generic '' Hollywood badass '' either ( honestly the forced swearing all the time felt on the nose and a bit cringe imo, you don't go from scared shitless to taunting and acting fearless in two seconds ).
I have a bit of a hard time taking her having a rocket explode next to her and getting flung a long distance then just walking it off seriously too, like the game tried so hard to be serious but then it like adhered to Marvel physics and realism or something.
It wasn't a horrible game or anything but just really disappointing and nowhere near as good as RE2R.

RE4 I am afraid they will make it too serious funnily enough tho, part of RE4's charm was that it was so wacky and video gamey.
It's just not the same game anymore if they try to make it too serious, and it kinda defeats the purpose then imo then they should just make a new game instead.

Yeah its most likely RE4 looking at the thematic of the countdown, I agree with you on RE3 I felt it was let down and hated how they handled Nemesis.

Agree! RE 2 Remake was so good… RE 3 also cut so many things out of the original.

Yeah. It really should have expanded the city segments. Then again, my favourite Resident Evil games are the Outbreak ones. I hope that they get a proper remake someday.

Nemesis was actually scarier in the demo imo.
As soon as you're past the demo area he turned into a joke for me because he begins getting bullied around and Jill goes into action hero mode and starts taunting him.
The '' bitch can't even swim '' thing was where I officially just went '' okay he's a joke now, I can't take it seriously anymore ''.
If Jill isn't scared then why should I be?

Unpopular opinion maybe but I had the same problem with Ethan in RE7, and I feel like they took the framework of '' badass Ethan '' and just copy pasted it unto Jill.
It feels like it belongs in a very cheesy action movie and not a horror game.

I dunno why they tried to do a new one-liner at the end too, it didn't live up to the '' You want stars? '' in the original and it was thrown in really awkwardly when Nemesis is chasing you instead.
It sorta feels like the devs don't know if they want RE to be cheesy and wacky like the old games or if they want them to be serious horror anymore.
RE2R struck the perfect balance imo, it did have some cheesy action hero lines but it never really stood out to me and felt overbearing or like it made the game not scary anymore.

I dunno why they got rid of the dismemberment too in RE3R.

The RE1 Remake was great too tho, I am glad we got some really really incredible remakes for 1 and 2 at least.
I replayed them so much and got really into the speedrunning thing and got perfect scores for all runs.

SWTOR has a new trailer:

It is really great.

Personally, the only remake/remastery/whatever I'm looking forward to is System Shock, whenever it finally gets finished.

Also, I'm utterly disappointed that the upcoming third game will recycle Shodan again. I sure hope they don't try to make it (sym)pathetic. (UGH!!! Now that is a sickening thought.)

Of course it won't matter if neither of them gets finished.

So happy I found out about Mudfish.
I wanted to level DNC a little and wanted to try without Mudfish again.
I couldn't even check my retainers lol, lag was so horrible that I literally couldn't load them.
I could even exit the game because it was still trying to load them and then it just failed, I tried a couple of times and it wouldn't work at all.


Uh....................
There's some nodes on my path to the FFXIV servers that are truly the most horrible nodes in existence I've never experienced it being so bad in any other game before tbh.
Only way to get around it is Mudfish and it makes it buttery smooth.
