General Random Thoughts: Biohazard/Resident Evil edition

The same applies to the remakes of 2 and 3.

Personally, I thought 2 had way too many things cut, altered, ruined, etc. Yet on many websites, the game was branded a modern day classic. 3 is then panned, despite being a similar game with everything from 2 being in it, but with downgraded gore.

Although, yes. The game was the worse of the two. 2 still has way too much that is a blunder.

Yeah. I detest 7 and 8, and a lot of the spin offs. I also hate the movies and the Netflix series, but the animated films are decent. Although some of the Paul Anderson movies had their moments.

What truly annoys me though is how often Capcom goes back to Raccoon City. You would think by now that 1998 wouldn't be particularly important, with the city having been obliterated in the original RE3, etc. Yet they feel the need to rehash it.

I find that is relatively pointless. It is something I wish Capcom would stop, but I suppose we can be in for more of the same sooner or later.

What's peculiar is that games like Days Gone or the more horror themed The Evil Within 2 had actual thought put into them. Now I am not saying RE7 was absolutely crap, but those two games I just brought up were longer and honestly, more enjoyable. But of course, anything that's essentially non Capcom related in the world of gaming, almost always gets panned in the most unfair way.

It's actually one of the reasons I could care less about posting about RE debates on other forums. For I mean, at least 95% of them are devoid of anyone posting. They may post, but normally they just admit to not being a big fan of the series. And while that should be okay, it's all very meh-ish when I feel like people ought to be agreeing with me.

Hell. Even the underrated Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is way better than RE7 and 8 are put together. Yet I feel as if I am amongst the relatively few people who supported that one during 2015.

Well, I reserve the word 'simp' more so for those puppets who pay for ladies to publish wank fodder on their OnlyFans. They know guys are just suckers who will support them if they act all flirty in return. They don't even give a shit about these men as people. I don't do it any more because trying to book them on AW (where asking for real sessions is allowed) is a chore.

Sometimes, I think peope online just hate on RE6 fans because they don't want to go against the crowd. It's like if 95% people hate a game, they don't want to feel roped into the 5% that does like it. So they pick on people who like 6, while probably just trying to sound tough.

I mean, I don't hate RE4, but that's definitely when the series changed. I prefer the creepier, earlier games. But that's just me. I think RE4 got to be so overrated. Although I still think it's the best action based RE game, and the RE4 remake is the best RE Engine remake, while RE 2002 still remains the best remake overall.

I agree RE4 is where the series changed significantly. My favourite game at that point was Code Veronica which I played at launch on the Dreamcast, and is still my preferred version of the game. A close second for me was RE2 and of the classic series I replayed both of those games the most. When I played RE4 I could see that it was different but it felt like a natural evolution of the series. Inevitably the series was going to move into full 3D as hardware improved and game developers had more experience working with 3D, and this opened up new possibilities. The combat improved with things like head shots becoming a real skill to master. Navigation improved, being able to see where you were going and what you were shooting at because the camera actually looked where you were looking. Controls were still very clunky but improved significantly by Rev1 and RE6.

I still miss the classic games, but have thoroughly enjoyed the journey following the series as it has evolved and feel every era has had amazing games that are the reason I am a huge fan of the series.

So RE has the occasional bag egg in the franchise. But in the land of SH, we have this...


Wow, Konami. 😌

On paper, it must have read...

"Ya done bad stuff, so ya gonna get teh monsters coming at da farm!"

Like, seriously. Is that all Silent Hill is now? You screw up, you sin, and you just get creatures finding your whereabouts. 🙄

I don't think Capcom would lease out their franchise if they knew somebody would create something that cringey. But of course, we had ORC and Umbrella Corps.

This thread was funny. It's 13 years old, but still. My name at the time was SynchPedro86.

Please port it. - Resident Evil: Revelations

For Resident Evil: Revelations on the 3DS, a GameFAQs message board topic titled "Please port it." - Page 4.

RE doesn't belong on TVs? EH!? I have always played games on a big or even small TV. 🤣

Of course, it is the GameFAQS forum. Your expectations for an intelligent response has to stay very low. Always.
