Off Topic Discussion Megathread

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.

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.

I actually miss playing that game a lot, I played it in Beta and for a pretty long while after that.
Think I only played the first expansion tho.

Malgus was a really cool villain it was a very fun MMO probably my favorite Star Wars game tbh.
Not sure why I even quit tbh I only have fond memories of it.

SWTOR is free to play. So you can play it peu à peu. I have it still installed and play it very causally.

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.

Oh gosh, now that you said it, what if the countdown does reveal a new outbreak title or maybe a remake?! That would be a very welcome suprise!

They might as well do it at some point. They keep shoehorning side games into the main games but I really do think that an authentic remaster of the Outbreak games would work out very well for Capcom. Especially if it was updated over time. Apparently there was meant to be a third game in the series but we only got the first and second.

I wouldn't say no to a new Breath of Fire game, either. Assuming Capcom still own the rights for it.

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.

hmm I wonder if I'm in the minority for keeping RE reboots, specifically RE1 types as its classic theme and gameplay but just with updated graphics.
The controls were actually a great part of the horror haha

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.

I look forward to this as well.
I wasn't even in existence when System Shock came out, but I've heard older peers talk about it.
Tried to play the first iteration but those graphics did not age well lol

No I actually wish they had done the same with RE2R and RE3R as they did in RE1R.
I still loved RE2R and I think it's a great game, but I mean it's also pretty generic and typical as far as gameplay goes.
I think it would've been great to have gotten a top view game like RE1R with the same quality as RE2R.

The gameplay actually holds up surprisingly well too imo.
