can't believe someone is complaining about better story-telling. How Mr. X is introduced in the remake is way better.

Was the remake soundtrack purposely crap to get people to buy the DLC?

The Ghost Survivor DLC themes are really good (especially Kendos).

They capture the feel of the character scenarios really well.

nu-mr.x also looks noticeably slavic, which is also a cool attention to detail

IIRC the original donor for the Tyrant gene thing was a Russian guy, so it fits.

There's also another Russian Tyrant in one of the games that actually looks fabulous.

lol Super Dummyhop got stuck on the Sherry segment for an hour.
He also somehow still hasn't got bored of it after three whole playthroughs.

Not a bad review but too much decline to be taken seriously, and way too much bias for what the remake did better over the original, but little time for what the original did better than the remake.

What i am amazed is how little he mentions the dumbing down of the b scenario.
Which is puzzling since he did a video about game length and used resident evil 2 and its different scenarios as a basis.

Weighing the differences the remake/reimagining did more things and better than the original which is the point he's getting at.

It's far better to talk about mechanics. level design and better gameplay than certain specific cutscenes or music change.

I played both RE1 and RE2 remakes and 2 is much much easier. The controls are no brainer for this, but also I was frustrated in 1 with the constant backtracking and tighter inventory management. I even played Onimusha remake, fun games.

Just cleared Claire A on HC. I could've done it with one less save but forgot about the typewriter located after going down the clearance 4 elevator in NEST. I will start Leon B on HC soon.

I would say the only thing truly challenging (and irritating) are the Birkin 2-4 boss fights.
Cleared Hardcore Leon B.
