Do you think woa trilogy is executed better than re engine games? Re6 is the game that ı view as an end point for the series' storyline and after playing ucorps at the time, ı disliked that game and it made me quite hateful for re engine direction. Playing blood money and watching the cutscenes of the 1st 2 games before comparing them to absolution, ı think the latter is more comparable to ucorps. I used to think absolution was re6 of the series in the sense that ı thought it got unnecessary hate but after playing blood money, my opinions changed and ı cant find myself arguing against absolution's criticisms. In fact now ı think the game is incredibly overrated due to ridiculously insane positive rating for it on steam. Meanwhile re6 on steam catches bloated negativity constantly in regards to reviews. From gameplay to story, the criticisms automatically bother me whenever ı see it no matter what, even if ı would try to ignore them.

It's pretty hard to compare them. If Capcom had looked at RE6 as the misstep then delivered a trilogy of new games all centered on Leon using RE4-5 as a base but improved the whole the technical side... that's what WOA is. Instead there's more remakes than original games and the original ones are more inspired by new First-person horror trends than the old series. Some might say both developers rescued an old series from doom, but they're gone about it in entirely different ways with different levels of success.
Sorry for the late reply. I couldnt come up with something else until recently so ı would like to know your opinion. Do you think resident evil and devil may cry series are comparable? You mentioned the reboot as an example and ı played it once after playing all other dmc games and ı didnt like it. Neither gameplay nor the story. Do you think either dmc2 or the reboot are re6 of the series like ı've seen some stating? I think re6 is more comparable to dmc4 and the only objective reason ı can think of is due to shotaro suga working on the game before moving on to re series. Do you know any other japanese writers from capcom who moved to other series within the company like that? Cause ı cant find any. Suga also seems to work on dmc anime and ı think ı should watch that sometime. I remember checking a few clips and liking it.
Well Resident Evil never suffered the indignity of having a reboot, in the usual sense, though it has some weird offshoots now. Who knows why developers do such weird stuff in the name of a profit margin. Remember when they tried making Bomberman edgy? Or that Bionic Commando redo? Or when Castlevania became a second rate God of War? Was 'Operation Raccoon City' as bad? I guess it's down to taste but it's always the same random cash grab involving incompetent Western devs. Personally changing tone or overall gameplay style is still better than what happened with 'DmC' after DMC4 needed a direct sequel. The fact it finally happened is a miracle.

Idk much about those 3 examples but for reorc, ı dont remember enjoying the gameplay while not disliking the story or its premise. It's a one-off type of game and they made it take place at a different universe right from start. I feel like starting with ucorps and re engine raccoon games, they want to make a sequel to that game but the result is incredibly messy. All of those games utilize aspects from reorc and yasuhiro seto worked at all of those games. He also worked on rerev2 but not re6, which is why ı usually find it strange when ı see people comparing re engine games to re6. They are as distanced from re6 as possible. Do you think re6 needs a direct sequel? The fact that capcom can make revillage and so far, death island, direct sequels to re7 and vendetta pretty much proves that they can follow from anything if they want but for re6, they chose not to. Before those 2 examples, none of the entries were direct sequels to the previous numbered games, they always mixed elements more than being a direct sequel from only one entry.
Still find it strange that umbrella corps isnt a western developer made project but reorc is. Like ı dont think they hired western developers for ucorps but for reorc as well as re engine games, they hire western developers, for the latter category, they even hire western writers from other media to work at the scripts. I hate to say this but ucorps has more the makings from a bio storyline than those examples. As far as ı know, from the games, only reorc was a western developer made project. I still have no idea why people lump re6 and even ucorps with that, despite me disliking the latter to the max.
Meh. I don't use Discord. And Biohaze and Silent Hill Community are my only two go to forums for survival horror talk from here on out, since I got booted from NeoGAF. 
Oh, and despite what James B from Perth says, I wasn't banned on either KHInsider or Cult Labs. Lately, I decided to do some trimming of the fat (as I know he likes calling me fat, by the way) and all I did was ask for certain accounts to be deleted, seeing as how I seldomly received any replies.
But of course, few admins will comply with such a request. I don't know why they stubbornly want to retain your membership when you know what you discussed there has an extremely low chance of being appreciated. It's not like anyone was concerned with my posts anyway.
But yeah. Some people are too particular with their rules.

Does anyone else discuss the series with people in real life? All of my friends who know about the series are people ı've met online, ı dont have any real life friends who know about the series. I feel like most of the negativity about the series are also showcased on internet, ı havent met anyone in real life who showcased negativity about the entries. Maybe some groups online are formed between people who actually know each other in real life? I still prefer playing the games through the formats ı've created by myself rather than discussing that much. I'm one of the most active members here and the messages ı replied in this place are nothing compared to the amount of time ı've spent playing the games as well as experiencing other media. At least from re1 to re6. I suppose ı can include re7 and re2r here too since ı've also spent a good amount playing them. Exceptions might as well be gaiden, survivor 2 and reorc which ı didnt play that much.
I don't.
My older sister doesn't have the time for games any more with having two sons. But it was her who got me into the games when I was in high school. I've played all of the games, and religiously played the original trilogy pretty much every week from 2000 to 2002.
I couldn't play CV until I got a Dreamcast in 2001. I had to save up my pocket money for ages, and I got an allowance from a training course in 2002 that allowed me to get a GameCube, then a PS2.
I think the golden age of horror gaming was from 1996 up to, and perhaps including 2005. It then took years to come back. This is because of third person shooters, and boring indie games. But the genre is certainly thriving again.

I wish I could see the list of members to see if that Australian dummy James B made any alts. He gives me quite a bit of hassle online these days. Signed up under my name on dreamindemon.com not too long ago.
Maybe you should let it go and not give them your mental energy?
As for talking about RE in real life I know a handful of people that still play games and only one is a real fan of the series. But even they've basically stopped caring after RE2:R because that was the big one for them. Games unfortunately don't give anything back and it's hard to consider them over more productive (and less expensive) hobbies, especially when everyone that started in 1996 is getting older and have their own kids to consider.
There were supposedly 16 members floating around earlier. Maybe they're just passing by. Social media has taken over from these kind of sites a long time ago so it's a bit weird.

I hardly ever play the RE games, and mostly talk about them. Now and again though, I like to dig out the second or third game. Those two I really enjoy.
As it is, I'm more excited for other horror games coming out this fall or next year, like the new Silent Hill projects, the sequel to Alan Wake, and Stray Souls.

At the time, yes. But now ı have another one. Still dislike those nitro comments though as well as bots.
I only post here. I don't use Discord.
I may stop posting on dreamindemon.com, as it was really just meant to be a temporary distraction. It's really a crime stories forum. Not my area of interest.
