The original 2005 version of RE4 is the best, I had another play through of it recently and it never gets tired. I loved Village & Biohazard, but something about those earlier games was so much more exciting to me. I did really love RE: Revelations 1 & 2 though, they felt like good classic Resi games. Anything in particular you prefer about the 2005 version of RE4? I personally love both the original and the remake, but I gotta say I miss the raunchy jokes and overall tone present in the 2005 version! Haven't gotten to Revelations yet, but now I'll be looking forward to them!

Something about the remake lacked any real scares for me. A lot of that is down to the polished look, but the less linear structure of the remake made it less scary for me overall too. Still, I did love the remake and the slightly different take on RE4, but for me it was very much a case of "if it's not broke, don't fix it". Plus, the original save method of only being able to save at a typewriter, is much more true to how a survival horror game should be played. 1

However, I think RE4R does let you have that "only save at typewriters" experience on the highest difficulty setting though? I'm not sure. Also, what I really miss from the original game is the muddy color palette, which is strange cause I usually hate those in games, but it really worked well for RE4! 1
Radical Pessimism Posted October 14 Posted October 14 I started playing Silent Hill 2 this week. It's so good! 1

I might give it another play through on the higher difficulty - it is the time of year for it I suppose! 1
West Coast Posted October 15 Posted October 15 just finished burial at sea and currently playing the original bioshock and whew it's EXCELLENT 3
commander Posted October 15 Posted October 15 I'm currently replaying BOTW for the second time. It's such a massive game, I'm already exhausted 5 hours in. I don't know I garnered the mental strength to beat it the first time
Musicmajor Posted October 16 Posted October 16 I have been playing darkest dungeon 2 for the switch for weeks and months now, so good. When Dragon age the veilgaurd comes out, i will be in that world for the foreseeable future.
Virtuesque Posted October 16 Posted October 16 I just finished Wukong. For as simple as it appears, the joy was in the nuances. It took me 160 hours to beat, because I'm just a casual gamer and it was difficult. It was fun! Currently playing and streaming the story for Dragon Ball Sparking Zero. Ape Vegeta beat me up, 🤕. As for online games, I play Overwatch.
Suilen Posted October 18 Posted October 18 Forgive Me Father is pretty great. I love that you can play an old school shooter as a woman.

I don't know I garnered the mental strength to beat it the first time so real i couldn't even get halfway through when it first came out. tried again this summer and at first enjoyed it a lot but then i reached a point where i just couldn't be bothered anymore so never picked it up again. it's exhausting 1
Axel. Posted October 18 Posted October 18 I'm currently playing Metaphor ReFantazio and I'm blown away 2
Curaga Posted October 20 Posted October 20 I beat WitchSpring R already nnn; it was so much fun that I could hardly put it down! I loved a lot of the mechanics (I kept farming for magic-up ingredients and had ∼2800 magic by the end ) and I loved all of the characters, even if the story was a little half-baked. The pets were so cool, especially this little hunty I also started and beat Europa today. It was very pretty, but not quite as fluid-feeling as I was hoping. Might go back and try to find all the emeralds
Heldenzeit Posted October 20 Posted October 20 Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred Not sure how I feel about it tbh.

Reginald Posted October 20 Posted October 20 @me ready to jump into my next 100 hour masterpiece RPG (Metaphor: ReFantazio) after taking 6 months and 155 hours to finish the last one (FF7 Rebirth) 3 1
Rigalo Posted October 21 Posted October 21 I've beaten a few games so far this month! first was Mega Man and then a few days later Mega Man 2 from the Legacy Collection on Switch. I enjoyed them way more than I thought I would have, tho I do admit I was watching videos of people playing the levels before I attempted them that coupled with the save state and rewind features in the collection made them enjoyable, I honestly might not play these games without them Then I finished Firewatch. I played it all in one sitting and overall was a good experience. I was SO engrossed for the first 2-3 hours and then during the last hour my high opinion soured a bit, but it was a cool game. I wasn't at all expecting how creepy or unsettling the game would get so that was a great surprise, but then the story didn't quite have the payoff I was hoping for. Just today I finished a game on Vita called Patchwork Heroes (developed by Aquire in 2010 who recently worked on games like Octopath and Mario & Luigi: Brothership). Another super cool title for PSP, I had never heard of it until I was checking out threads on a gaming forum about Vita games to pick up before its shop closes. Each stage of the game is a flying ship that you have to chop pieces off of until it's gone and you've won. Everytime I lost a level I was instantly hitting the replay button, the gameplay is kind of addictive but can also get a little frustrating. Next I'm hoping to get some spooky games in before the end of the month! I've been playing thru Bioshock (for like the 5th time, a LEGENDARY game) and I've got Little Nightmares, Luigi's Mansion, and Night in the Woods on my docket to start 2

I think I'll put that on the list for the weekend. 1
Musicmajor Posted October 25 Posted October 25 I think I will sign up for xbox gamepass again today, so I can play the new call of duty.

poki Posted October 30 Posted October 30 Secret Agent Clank (PS5). Still so unbelievably fresh, put HD visuals on it and I'd believe you if you told me it came out today. 1
