BigPleb: Resident Evil 2 (2019)

BigPleb 01.28.19	List is RE games I've played ranked. How are you guys finding this new addition? *Thread may contain SPOILERS*
Dewinged 01.28.19	Wait, no RE7?!
BigPleb 01.28.19	How have I missed that lol. Gimme a sec, it's early.
Dewinged 01.28.19	And first Revelations! Lol
BigPleb 01.28.19	Never played the first one.
BigPleb 01.28.19	It's only the games I've played that I've ranked m/
Dewinged 01.28.19	You got me there. It's good though, you should give it a shot.
BigPleb 01.28.19	The 2nd revelations was pretty fun but I found the controls a bit clunky. Also, they sorta promised a 'return to roots' entry with it and that just wasn't the case at all. The monster designs were cool, though.
Zig 01.28.19	Only played 3, and a bit of original 2. Need to get into this series.
BigPleb 01.28.19	Everything apart from 10 & 11 are all worth your time.
Zig 01.28.19	BigPleb, thanks. Btw, you never played Resident Evil Revelations 1 ?
BigPleb 01.28.19	No and tbh I only played Revelations 2 recently. I fell out of love with the series after RE6 so missed a few entries.
BigPleb 01.28.19	There are plenty worse Silent Hill games compared to RE, the series is more than solid overall.
minty901 01.28.19	The new Resi 2 is amazing. As is Resi 7.
DungeonBoy 01.28.19	Nice! Just finished RE7 this month, definitely the best since 4, but am looking forward to playing the remake of this. It looks incredible.
TheCharmingMan 01.28.19	Code Veronica so underrated. I was looking to get RE2 on N64 but looks like i’m better off getting the remake
DungeonBoy 01.28.19	lol, resident evil 2 was on N64?
rabidfish 01.28.19	shit looks tite, son
DrGonzo1937 01.28.19	resi 2 was on every platform.
DrGonzo1937 01.28.19	dreamcast is the definitive version
protokute 01.28.19	when is that crack coming
botb 01.28.19	Will definitely play this after KH3
BigPleb 01.28.19	I even paid extra for the special costumes lol.
BigPleb 01.28.19	@proto the game was released last Friday, if that's what you're asking?
BigBlob 01.28.19	its too expensive at the moment for what ive heard is a 5 hour game
BigPleb 01.28.19	Well each scenario takes around 5-6 hours I'd say, that's if you're unfamiliar with the original. More like 4-5 hours each otherwise. Then you unlock a different B-side scenario for each character which is another 3-4 hours on top of that. Then you've got Hunk mode. I'd say it's well worth the £45 that's being charged, there's so much in the package.
rabidfish 01.28.19	bitch it's resi2 with REVII graphics' engine. it's worth it.
BigBlob 01.28.19	last time I go on steam forums then XD
Zig 01.28.19	"There are plenty worse Silent Hill games compared to RE, the series is more than solid overall." True, and that says much about Konami.
rabidfish 01.28.19	I'd say RE has a much more consistent output, but when SH was good ooooooh boy was it better than RE.
BigPleb 01.28.19	Resident Evil 4 is a perfect game. Silent Hill 2 gets VERY close.
Dissonant 01.28.19	I've bounced around this series over the years, the only one I've played consistently has been RE5 and bits of RE6. Might buy this one though
SlaveLabor 01.28.19	This is a music website.
DungeonBoy 01.28.19	lol more or less
protokute 01.28.19	@BigPleb Talking about illicit stuff
DrGonzo1937 01.28.19	Pleb, you can’t compare resi 4 to silent hill 2. Lol it’s like comparing wagyu steak (silent hill 2) to Tesco’s finest (resident evil 4). And I love resi 4
DrGonzo1937 01.28.19	Bad analogy aside, sh2 is timeless work of art, whereas re4 is a great reinvention for the series, but it’s a little tacky imo
rabidfish 01.28.19	timeless work of art >>> campy, B-Movie rampage Doesn't mean you can't enjoy the 2nd more than the 1st, but... U wrong.
BigPleb 01.28.19	I wasn’t comparing them haha, just measuring how good I think they’re respectively.
BigPleb 01.28.19	RE4 tacky? One of the most influential games ever man...
rabidfish 01.28.19	don't know if ''tacky'' is the right word. I'd say it is super, unapologetically CAMPY, if anything.
BigPleb 01.28.19	Oh yeah it’s campy but no other game had AI like it at the time, especially in survival horror.
minty901 01.28.19	There's no way RE2 is a 5 hour game for most people. I love the original and this new one took me 8 hours. It feels longer too because every moment is filled with anxiety. It's a decent length and a phenomenal game. Far exceeded my expectations with this, even after playing the demo.
Dewinged 01.29.19	Just got my copy of RE2 and gonna sink in this week.
Veldin 01.29.19	Yeah I'd say this is more like 7-8 hours for newcomers. #Tofu
J() Alexander 01.29.19	"Everything apart from 10 & 11 are all worth your time." RE 6 > RE 3, Revelations, Revelations 2, Code Veronica. RE 5 is (from what I've heard) only fun with friends.
BigPleb 01.29.19	6 killed the franchise man.
DrGonzo1937 01.29.19	"RE4 tacky? One of the most influential games ever man..." yeah, but next to SH2 it's tacky. I never disputed the importance of the game -- as I say, I played the fucking life out of the thing when it first came out. But it's just a schlocky shooter, whereas SH2 is a fucking outright masterpiece on every conceivable level.
DrGonzo1937 01.29.19	I also love re6..... Chris' campaign is horrible, but the rest of it is great. Coop was decent too
BigPleb 01.29.19	I'd argue that the regenerator level in RE4 is far scarier than anything in SH2, like seriously the atmosphere is unbearable. SH2's strengths lie in its amazing lighting effects and really clever puzzles, also helps that the story is compelling throughout. Such a shame about the remaster of SH2 and SH3 though, both near perfect games ruined...typical Konami huh.
DrGonzo1937 01.29.19	Yeah they were shambles. I don’t mind Troy barker, but he absolutely butchered james’ dialogue. In fact, bugs aside, the redone voicework is shameful
J() Alexander 01.29.19	RE 4 was never scary to me tbh, too much action for me to think that.
DungeonBoy 01.29.19	I think it's universally accepted that is when the series drifted from survival horror to action. That over the shoulder view was paramount though, but a shout out to all the OG's that remember those RE1/2 camera angles. Nothing like being pushed back into a different perspective of the room and blindly shooting at the oncoming zombie horde
J() Alexander 01.30.19	Not really an OG because I wasn't there when those games were released, but man, I much prefer the fixed camera angles. They're so good for a horror game.
Dewinged 01.30.19	Goddamn I played OG RE2 on release. Fuck I'm old lol
Veldin 01.30.19	Beat Leon's campaign last night and it was awesome (6:50 hrs). Gonna play RE2 original on PSP (via psn) bc I've never made it very far in that. Also gonna finally play RE3. However, I just got Kingdom Hearts 3 today, so....
J() Alexander 01.30.19	double post?
rabidfish 01.30.19	nah bitch this fucking RIPPPPS holy fffffuck this remake is GOOD.
MO 01.30.19	Can't wait to get this. Then for the RE 3 remake
DrGonzo1937 01.30.19	the remake's scenario b is a HUGE disappointment
BigPleb 01.30.19	I mean I'd argue this remake is near flawless. @Gonzo Can at least agree the main canon scenarios are god tier.
DrGonzo1937 01.30.19	yeah, main scenario rules. but that b scenario.... its cool af Capcom are releasing free dlc id like to add
BigPleb 01.30.19	Damn, free DLC in this day and age?!
minty901 01.30.19	I started Claire's B scenario but it felt a little flat. Getting into the station with no hype or momentum. Was bound to be an anticlimax after scenario A I guess, but I'd still like a bit more build up to open scenario B.
