Tears of Nintendo
Rolled credits. Can't say I like what they've done after the whole castle section and everything around it. I mean, the island it's not bad, but for sure not even close to what they've done before it, cuz the whole survival horror atmosphere is gone completely and what's left is mostly pure actions with a lot of shootouts, immensly annoying and forced "save Ashley sequences" while she's screaming and yelling and there's nothing you can do to make all this shit go faster in New Game or even skip it like you can a few sequences. I also hate those things you can even kill fast enough cuz you can't use the scope needed on any other weapons than rifles which zooms way too much for indoor and coridor-like environments you're in and there's nothing you can do - they could've added googles instead of scope.
Here's quick pros and cons in comparison to original:
Pros
1) Much closer to survival horror than original game ever was, even considering the whole Island location, which is the weakest part of the game
2) Way, waaaay better game/gunplay
3) Superb knife parry mechanic (sadly though, they didn't go further with it - finishers with a cost of half or even the whole durability bar for insta kills, no matter how much HP enemy has - except bosses)
4) Amazing atmosphere and mood up until the Island. Also heavy rain and loud thunder with lighting would've made atmosphere and mood even better in sections with rain and in the castle, instead we've almost complete silence
5) Much better inventory management, although I don't see the point in inventory as I almost never run out of space, which I'm sure will be even more noticeable on a harder difficulty levels with even less resources
6) Pretty much the same story, but way better shown and told via modern take completely free from campy circus of original - at sertain points after a sew a few things, I thought they're goint to do that again, but thank fuck they did it completely differently and in a way I like way more
7) Overall way supperior game in almost every way, even with the stuff I don't like
8) Great Krauser fights using knife (except when he mutates into a monster during the last fight)
9) Much better level design
10) Good puzzles
11) Not without problems, but great PC port.
Cons
1) Way too much visual BS (blood, cloths, yellow/white paints etc.) for blind and stupid people, which you can't turn off in the options (like you can in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, CAPCOM!) - mod can only do so much and can't remove all this shit from the game completely
2) For the most part Ashley and way too much forced sequences where you need to save her, while being put in the most annoying af situations you'll have to redo multiple times to minimize damage / ammo loss - it's not fun at all, it wasn't made that way to add more tention to survival horror elements and it's not effin' survival horror, it's annoying af stuff that hurts the game. You can't even tell Ashely to hide most of the time and where you can it's almost and absolutely pointless. Ugh, fuck, at least that sequence where she's destroying concrete wall is much more tolerable and there's plenty of room for you to move around and there's not unkillable things out there to annoy the fuck out of you
3) The whole Island part of the game
4) Underdeveloped and extremely limited stealth mechanics - they could've gone way further with this, especially cuz of the vertical design of some locations, but instead you can only kill enemies from behind
5) Useless and weak Bolt Thrower for stealth - limited use silencers could've done wonders and helped much more unlike this POS
6) Leon is way too slow when it comes to movement
7) Really bad, super arcady and fast boat controls with very limited camera control
8) Not fully next-gen and it shows.
Why the FUCK can't I:
1) Switch shoulders!? Whyyyyyyyyyyy!!! F! YOU!
2) Climb on certain edges (while in other places I can)!?
3) Attach laser sight to any weapon except shotguns, Killer7 (has it by default), Red9 (could not care less about it)?
4) Use some kind of move for crowd control or roll away to avoid damage/being grabbed etc. (knife can't do everything and its use is limited)?!
5) Store everything I have in the inventory to storage not matter what it is (excluding stuff which is not located in inventory - treasures, key items)? I'm not using Bolt Thrower and SMGs!
I think I haven't missed anything? Well, if I did I'll edit the post later.
Overall, I think it's my 3rd favorite RE game so far after RE1/2 remakes and 3rd being the weakes one just cuz of how much it missing in terms of original content, which was simply cut and not remade / reimagined. I even considering RE3 like a story expansion as a part of RE2 cuz of how short is, I mean, it's good, just not as good as it could've been if they would've remake the whole game and not just some parts of it. RE4 missing some stuff from original as well btw, but here I think they did the right thing, cuz what is missing is absolute pile of dog shit circus (which RE5 is full of top to bottom and RE6 is even more so) and I will never miss any of if in remake.
