Resident Evil 2 Remake

nothings perfect ~

I wish there was an extra difficulty setting. Hardcore feels a little too, well, hardcore- at least for a first playthrough I mean. But autosave just sounds so fucking wrong in this type of Resident Evil, so I stubbornly refuse to lower the difficulty. I'd love for there to be some kind of middle ground difficulty between "standard" and "hardcore".

Why not just force yourself to reload from your last typewriter save when you die? That's what I've been doing and it feels like a good compromise.

So in the B scenarios it seems like each character gets a "better" handgun. The ammo drops around the place is tailored for the new handgun but the old handgun upgrades don't apply to it. You also can't make the new handgun's ammo by mixing gunpowder, you'll only make the old one instead. So as a heads-up, you may never want to mix two generic gunpowders together or you'll pretty much waste them, always combine with the high grade.

YES!! Absolute PERFECTION:

You'll call me crazy but I always preferred Claire over Ada.

 

[aweigh]

I can't stop staring at new Ada's face. I'm in luv. Want to marry 2d waifu!!!

You'll call me crazy but I always preferred Claire over Ada.

I preferred her in the previous games as well, but in this new game, she is so derpy.

Playing the game with the original soundtrack is so much better in my opinion.

I haven't played the game yet, but I've watched some gameplay both with the new music, and the original. And the old gives the game much more atmosphere. In new games developers have the habit of only playing ambient sounds and slow, silent music. The old one is much creepier.
This short clip is the perfect example for that. In the new one there is barely any music playing in the save room, which evokes no emotion. Compared to that, when you walk into a save room with the old music, you can hear that save music and feel a relief, you are at a safe space.

btw, that list of "features" by Swigen is the gayest shit I ever seen. please tell me he was being sarcastic

This is true. I don't know why they went the route they did, horror and music work off one another very well as films have proven. Having some dynamic music fluctuate between tense and suspenseful when exploring a new section, to dreadful when things seem too calm, to heart racing when shit begins popping would have been way better. Not to mention RE2's OST was really good to begin with, so most of the homework was already done for you.

Yep, I did one playthrough with the new music and then switched to classic.

I wish they had copied the RE Remake style. Take the original pieces and expand them.

Is this normal or not?

Spoiler

What the fuck happened here, they run out of money and couldn't create a proper background scene or is it a bug?

EDIT: I checked on Youtube and it's indeed a bug. What the fuck.
EDIT 2: Apparently there are issues with cutscenes for some users, here's the fix https://steamcommunity.com/gid/103582791462560251/announcements/detail/1714084842269403550

all the story/cutscene changes look lame, but the engine/gameplay itself looks very fun. im more interested in the raid DLC mode

'Better' is a strong way of putting it. Claire's SSA is kinda useful against single zombies, but their tankiness still applies and they'll occasionally still take just as many rounds to kill as if you'd shot them with the regular pistol, but whereas the generic pistols can carry at least eight shots and upgrades more than triple that, the SSA will only ever fire six, and you've gotta empty each spent shell manually and reload each cylinder manually. It's agonizingly slow reload means it's also pretty much useless if you're facing more than one zombie. If anything I was pretty annoyed to learn that its ammo pickups replaced all the generic pistole ones, because Claire gets a pistol later that makes her able to shoot while moving far more accurately, which was way more useful an ability, in my view.

RE2Remake is a more difficult game than the original.

Doesn't mean too much since the original was extremely easy.

In scenario B you get both 9mm rounds (by mixing gunpowder) and 45cal rounds (by exploring).

This way you can use both pistols: Leon have an incentive to use upgraded Mathilda for crowd control, while Claire can use her SLS revolver during bossfights (thanks to powerful alternative ammo).

In case of Leon you'd better mix meh gunpowder with meh gunpowder for 9mm rounds, high-grade gunpowder with high-grade gunpowder for magnum ammo, and ignore crafting shotgun shells.

And thus, a new generation of Red9 vs. Blacktail was born.

 

[Wunderbar]

Red9 is better, there is no competition.
Better damage per shot, sexy reloading, and 22 rounds capacity is more than enough.

Not to mention that Red9 is an antique Mauser, while Blacktail is some shitty plastic glock.

It's funny because he shat all over the demo.

He would shit over the original too. He doesn't like games that don't have "good" mouse and keyboard controls
