Gaming

I adore resident evil. Most mainline games in the series hold a special place in my heart, from the originals through all the remakes.

However none hold a more special place to me than re4. I'm obviously not alone in adoring this game but dang, it's really just so fucking good. Every friend I've been able to convince to play in the present day has been shocked at how well it holds up today. Sure the controls are kinda weird (they truly are just the tank controls of the OG's but from an over the shoulder perspective), but it honestly works for the game. With the Re4hd mod that was in the works for many years finally out, the game looks great today too.

Re4 was my favorite game of all time, and while I was excited for the remake, I didn't really think the game had any shot at dethroning the original. But god damn it did. Somehow the remake surpassed my sky high expectations. It's just really damn good. It somehow brings a 2 decade old game that aged majestically into the modern era even better. Don't get me wrong, I still love the original and I still plan on playing it, but the remake is just superb. I couldn't be more happy that I get two ridiculously amazing versions of my all time favorite.

So yeah. Play re4. Game slaps. Also the other games are amazing. Except 6, i know some enjoy it, but it's one of my personal most disliked games

RE5 for couch co-op. It is actually pretty good as an action game, but lacking the atmosphere of a horror game.

The worst part is the unintentional (?) racism. Or the general insensitivity of handling races.

RE4 is great, but the tank controls are difficult to get back to. I haven't tried the remake yet.

Are the residents "evil" though? Seems like the virus turned them and they are just a little nibbly by nature

I’m probably in the minority, but I didn’t enjoy RE4 as much as others when I played it. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a great game. Just not to the standards people hyped it up to.

I think my main issue with it is that it has a masterful opening sequence, but then it never really builds on it after.

First fight in the village was truly ahead of its time. It gives not only the player lots of options, but the enemies have lots of options to counter you. It puts the player into many unpredictable situations. It’s a very dynamic fight and really sets a unique mood for the game.

Then the rest of the game turns more and more into a corridor shooter, especially after the village act. Still a good corridor shooter, but I hoped to see it build more on the open combat we saw in the opening section.

It was a great while ago I played it, but that was the impression I had back then.

Only resident Evil game I have played is RE2 (remake/new one) I loved it got all achievements in it. Currently planning to do RE3 this October because spooky Halloween.

I've only played the VR versions but they are the best VR experiences I've had so far.

i tried to play the original about a decade ago and my partner at the time had to dodge me throwing the controller when the dogs jumped through the window. that’s when i knew i wasn’t cut out for playing horror games. (although i enjoy watching other people play them!)

I liked 4 the best. The original 3 were too difficult for me; I much preferred parasite Eve compared to them.

I've played a bit of the original Resident Evil emulated on ps5. I really like the camp and the atmosphere, but it required a bit to much focus from me to proceed further in the game. I felt it became a bit difficult to know where to go and memorize the locations and puzzles.

I've bought Resident Evil HD on steam, so I'll try it again soon in the remaster.

My co-op buddy and I also just started RE5. I know it was made in another time, but it's quite hilarious how problematic a lot of it is. So we're just laughing at all the obvious stereotypes and enjoying the gameplay. We first tried on hard but it became to frustrating very quickly, so we started again on normal difficulty.

I know this is a games community, but I still feel like I also need to mention the movies. I saw all of them recently with some friends.

Resident Evil -> average B movie, not that special

Resident Evil Apocalypse -> holy shit this is becoming cool and over the top

Resident Evil Extinction -> the absolute best over the top idiotic movie I've seen in my life, I love it so much

Resident Evil Afterlife -> really quite boring and a big step down from the masterpiece that was Extinction

Resident Evil Retribution -> cool action flick, but nothing tremendous really happens in this movie

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter -> beautifully stupid and ridiculous conclusion that desperately tries to invent some overarching plot <3

I love the Resident Evil series, though I think Zero is actually my favorite. It has the best version of Rebecca and my favorite version of Wesker, plus we actually get to see him and W. Birkin interacting and being diabolical together. That, and Wesker Mode is really fun.

Resident Evil 5 is probably my second favorite, because imo that's the best version of Chris (edit to add that it's also my second favorite version of Wesker). I'm not a fan of how he was handled in Village, and I despise that they used the same VA that they used for Carlos in the RE3 remake. Nothing against the VA, it's just every time Chris opened his mouth in Village, my mind kept going, "That's Carlos That's Carlos That's Carlos".

I hope one of Capcom's upcoming remakes is Code: Veronica. I nabbed it on Xbox a while back, but man, I am not made for those old school tank controls, so I never ended up finishing it.

What is the story on all the porn shorts attributed to RE?
