General Random Thoughts: Biohazard/Resident Evil edition

Yeah, Mert. Capcom missed the mark with the RE2 remake, and probably will to some extent with RE3 too, but I just enjoy them as something to play for a spell, before I move on and play something better. To be honest, I haven't gone back to RE2 at all in like a year. It just didn't seem all that memorable to me, but they still did a good job in other ways. Although as you said, they cut a lot of corners and failed to deliver in many ways.

Might be an unpopular opinion but, I don't like how there are two different sets of scenarios in RE2make.
I wish we had just a definitive set of scenarios that covered everything. It seems so redundant and exhausting running both sets.

It's my turn now, Bitch!
It's a fucking nightmare. The city is dead and the borders are closed! The only thing that's missing are undead walking around. ? Also nice meme
I agree. RE2make was okay but certain parts, I loathed.
1. I didn't like the underground lab part as it was way too short and too modern for my tastes. I kinda wished it would like more like from a 80's Sci-fi movie (or cassette futurism, as it is called) as it did in the original.
2. NEST Lol Looks like they took HIVE from the movies and used a synonym for it. Underground Laboratory just worked fine, imo.
3. Claire annoyed the hell out of me with her tough-girl I-got-bigger-balls-than-you shtick. She definitely lost her charm she used to have. Leon, on the other hand, I liked. He was a down-to-earth guy.

This is a bit shite, but I may not be able to buy the digital version of RE3 until 7 April. While that's a bit meh, it is only 4 days. That's not too bad. 
I also don't know what's up with my headset; I bought an older PS4. It's the chunky type. My headset isn't working at all. I don't know why.

Second scenarios in Remake 2 just have gameplay changes and no story elements. I am all for new alternate campaigns with changed gameplay elements to increase replay value. They feel to me like advance mode from Director's cut.
You would think Capcom would delay RE3, due to its subject matter. Any mention of viruses right now doesn't feel right, unfortunately!
I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I've never really liked the merchant in general, because he's not a very realistic character. He's funny, sure. But there was merchants in Days Gone as well, but they were not able to magically be in multiple places at any giving time, as you had different ones in the various camps that remained where they were.
Unfortunately, no merchant made it into RE5, but that was originally planned.
RE5 is a great action game, as is RE4, but none of these games feel much like RE games. It also sucks that Wesker died how he did. He felt like a loony in RE5 as opposed to the snake in the grass the other games portrayed him as.
Now RE has nothing but one dimensional villains. They were even releasing shirts of Jack Baker before RE7 got released. Not that I dislike the Bakers, but RE7 doesn't feel like a RE game. ?

A little analogy I made up on the fly.
RE’s lore started out as a simple smoothie. As the years went by, they kept adding different fruits and blended them together. It got to the point where they added so much to their beloved smoothie, that no one knew what flavor it was anymore. It had no distinct taste and lost its appeal.
So now they are playing it safe and starting a brand new smoothie, with a different blender, and so far they haven’t added anything.
So they tried to be smooth, eh? Not happening! ?
I think they are inspired by Fortnite now. Before that, it was Call of Duty, and no doubt P.T. as well. I think the series was at its best when games like Alone in the Dark were still a thing.

Except even Fortnite has done cosmetics justice.. what has RE3 done again? Has like 2 costumes lol ;p

The Last of Us Part II, got announced in December of 2016, and is due out in 2020, maybe.
Resident Evil 3, was announced in December of 2019, and came out in April 2020.
Yep! More work comes from Naughty Dog. Every crumb in that game boasts of realism.

There's a lot of people who feel like the blue Umbrella thing was tacked on. I'd like to see this explored in depth in the next game. Unfortunately, the hearsay concerning RE8 already makes the game sound like it's going to be another 'in name only' sequel. Here's hoping they address what's going on. Giving that the game actually started off as a spin off, it just gives me the vibes that maybe that's what it will actually be like.
