The strategy in that room is just to run between enemies so the blind dudes can kill em for you, and when they are only them left it's a cakewalk.

Just because of it I don't really wanna jump into the new game+ on higher difficulty.

We ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space
Man, this is a bad case of Steam Sale FOMO
1. Resident Evil HD Remaster (only old-style controls game you will be playing on this list but it's a classic)
2. RE2 Remake
3. RE3 Remake
4. RE4 2005 (absolutely worth playing the original before you look at this remake)
5. RE7
6. RE8
0 is not a good game, don't play it initially. 5 divisive, 6 almost universally disliked. Code Veronica is not on PC and is a very mixed bag. I would say do the above list and then if you're still thirsty for more, try the others. The RE plot/lore is absolutely nonsense bollocks anyway, you're not missing anything.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
He said PS5 so he's playing the same version as me.
Although he might be playing in performance mode while I'm in Quality/RT mode.
That's the only difference I can think of.
But like I said the rain changes from different strengths, here it's more noticeable

Just need to get through work and I'll have 4 days off with this little beauty. Been slow moving on this one , but having a blast.
Love the stealth aspect of the game . Gives me Evil Within vibes . Did you guys know you can stealth kill the bull head dudes weilding the big hammer ? That's a real ammo saver , got 2 in the villiage so far. Been dying or restarting a fair amount on hardcore but that's just par for the course for me. Professional is going to be borderline insane I can already tell.

They say that the older you get, the more emotional you get. I always shrugged it off and I could never quite put my finger on the case why people would get emotional over videogames.
I was 16 years old when the original of this game released on the Gamecube. I have fond memories of me playing this game a lot with my dad. The man is 67 now and still playing.
Here comes yesterday evening. Starting up the remake and going through the first few enemies. It felt like a blast from the past.
Then comes the first typewriter saving point...
The first piano music hits and my brain took me back to the day I was 16 years old and playing this game with my dad. That nostalgia hit was absolutely devastating.
Here I was, 34 years old, wiping away a few tears over a videogame. This sure took me by surprise and was the very first time I got emotional whilst playing games.
Took me around 3 minutes to laugh about it and venture further in my nostalgia adventure. People always tend to ask why I love videogames. This is just the type of feeling I can not explain if you never grew up with them.

I think people sorely over estimate how much the gaming community as a whole honestly cares about graphics. It’s really only when a game is bugged to absurd levels (Mass Effect Andromeda, Fallout 76, Cyberpunk 2077) that attention is called to the games visuals, and most gamers can get behind.

Replayed OG recently and just used the free Broken Butterfly+all the Magnum rounds saved from the castle on him; worked fine. I was trying not to cheese bosses.
Just beat him in the remake. Tbh the fight was a little more annoying because you have to make sure you time activating the nitrogen right, but I didn’t have a magnum or rocket launcher, and at least to me, it didn’t seem like he took as many rounds (using Stingray and Riot Gun) as the original would’ve taken. Maybe it’s because I’m on Standard idk.

Not entirely true!
I've had one or two bolt drops in the second half of the Castle, IIRC. Could've even been the dual Garrador room or the lead-up to the Verdugo fight, if memory serves me right.

Can confirm this. I had a drop of Bolt x2 yesterday randomly, was really surprised myself.Not entirely true!

Sounds like it is super rare then, I never stored the thrower and had it to on me for the entire game without a single drop for it.Not entirely true!
there's never going to be just the Garradors left, the monks will spawn forever.

You can, the monks eventually stop spawning

No need to hit the sailors at all. What you do need to do, though, is change where you are shooting from.

This game has some high highs, and very low lows.
Finding it to be very inconsistent on almost every level. From design to visuals to gameplay.
One section i'm in an intense, expertly crafted hide and seek game with a blind wolverine dude. I loved that entire section. And it was dripping in atmosphere.
The next im running around a castle praying this incompetent ass girl doesn't get blown to bits by a giant ogre that does nothing but spam craters at me for half hour. Wish they would have updated some design choices over the 2005 release. I know they did a lot, but some of the stuff in here still feels like its 2005.
And just like in TLOU Part 1... I wish they upgraded the melee combat. This mofo can jump from great heights, do barrel rolls out of windows, and is a well trained fighter in cutscenes. . But in gameplay all I can do is kick? Let me murder some of these enemies with that badassery I see in cutscenes using my bare hands.
Also the visuals, some parts it looks really great and impressive. Some parts it looks completely unfinished. One section will have moody, atmospheric lighting, but right down the hallway... the textures don't load. Death animations, I love the brutality, but it loses the Wow factor Calisto Protocol had because some of them are literally unfinished animations. Leon will make sound effects/scream, but his face is stagnant and doesn't move at all. I thought it was a glitch at first until I went to YouTube and saw it was the same for everybody else.
On chapter 9 now. Had to run back to the merchant mid mission because I ran out of ammo entirely and I had to provide cover to Ashley <_<
So far i'm giving it a solid 7/10. I appreciate its legacy and what it did for the genre. Loving the atmosphere, But I wish the remake was much more polished than it is.

well, it seems I didn't have the patience to wait, that room is a drag in the original and a drag in the Remake, I always carried a rocket to not deal with it and will do exactly that in ng+

Ashley looks phenomenal in this game. Especially with hair strands.
It's a shame how basic the character development and storytelling is in these remakes because i honestly think that the voice acting, mocap, cutscene direction and tech is top notch and definitely can afford to tell a more intimate story without becoming something super serious like TLOU.
My favorite parts were when Ashley and Leon are super kind to each other. There might even be a hint of romance. Shouldve had more scenes like that. i think Uncharted 1-3 did a far better job of maintaining the campy feel while also having good character moments. Remakes storytelling do a great job with the action and moving the plot foward but the charcters feel thin by todays standards.

Just beat it yesterday, incredible game. I genuinely enjoyed it more than the original game namely for the better characterization, better files, much more enjoyable combat and things to do.
I do miss some things they left out but I think this remake did a better job than the other two recent ones at keeping the essence there and giving you enough new things to make you feel okay with the omissions.

Yeah their relationship in this is just so much better. Really had big brother and little sister vibes.

That spider thing that takes control of the victims is gnarly . Fave enemies (non boss/mini boss) so far

Not true, there's only 3 waves of monks I believe, I mauled them while distracting the garradors with the bells, and then simply proceeded to stealth killing them afterwards.

Yes, it does. Even better (I forget if the original did this), they have the Merchant appear shortly after the first house so you can grab any bonus weapons or such you unlocked.

Just has Ashley kidnapped by Salazar and I've now fully upgraded the Red 9. Blam Blam Blam I am death.
Had to sale my Magnum to do it but I was out of Mag rounds anyway. Plus I found the assault rifle... so eh.

Started my playthrough last night on Series X. The Controls definitely feels very laggy in terms of response time. Did they discuss about fixing this?

Rain still doesnt look good most of the time, but it was seriously bad looking right after the Del Lago fight, when you begin exploring the lake
It's a terrible filter that follows Leon around. Really distracting.
I was playing performance mode with RT. Turned off RT, same thing.
The game is great, but its the worse looking rain that I've seen in a game in quite a while

No spoilers please because maybe what I'm about to bring up is confirmed in the game (I'm on chapter 12). Luis is from the Village though huh? There's a journal entry and a guy talks about taking in a young boy following the death of his daughter. He mentions the child is incredibly smart and has a fondness for Don Quixote tales....
I'll just leave it at that but I feel like Luis is that child mentioned in the files.
Just wanted to mention it.

sure, need to reposition a lot as well. All I'm saying is it's easier to get an S on some stages when hitting sailors to make up for penalty with a much better time score

Oh you just reached Ashley, it's gonna get worse then
But I'm not getting that (filter that follows Leon around) impression from it, it looks independent and dynamic to me.
Although I'd imagine when it's heavy it can appear that way.

Leon is on an elevator with an open view to Krauser on a boat with Ashley in tow. I shot Krauser with my rifle, but nothing happened. Wouldve thought they'd have accounted for it

Either you shoot him and he goes "ugh" and drives off, or you shoot him, he dies, and then the credits roll, effectively breaking the game when it comes to speedrunning to get S+ ranks.

Not the case. I did what GymWolf described. Garradors took out most of the monks for me. At the end, it was just Leon v Garradors

Just made it to the castle, haven't beaten it since it first came out on GameCube so I remember almost none of it, absolutely spectacular so far. Playing on PC (5800x3d, 3080 10gb) getting between 100-120 fps 95% of the time. Looks and runs fantastic.
