It's freaking 2019 afterall That is indeed where I played the demo, haven' t tired it on my x1x The controls are perfectly fine (as in extremely smooth and responsive) and I question how you find them clunky in any way, shape or form. The inventory is a critical part of resource management and puzzle solving, it's not something that needs to be "evolved," especially since it's a goddamn remake. Not every game needs to be homogenized into the fucking ground because it's the current year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played some of RE 2 on Dreamcast but never got very far. REmake or 2 are my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat it in 5 hours and some change. There is a Hardcore mode, and that seems to be the only mode that uses ink ribbons.

The guy was not taking his time and did not get every weapon so it will no doubt be longer for most people, however I doubt it is going to take 10 hours for one play-thru.

RE games are always quite short so I was mainly Larry David-ing the rest of that info anyway. I especially don't mind this one being not terribly long seeing how much fun it was to actually fuck those zombies up. Wouldn't mind playing that several times.

Anzo Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Seeing as how it is supposed to be played at least twice, I’m okay with a shorter length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Didn't they say it would not have multiple story modes like the original, or was that some kind of mistranslation at E3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 REmake is still my favorite. I loved the creepy, claustrophobic atmosphere. 7 was fantastic, too. I was skeptical going into it since it was first person, but I ended up really liking it and it still felt like RE. And I'll always love 4. I played it 3 times, which is super rare for me to do with a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 The old RE’s are longer than people probably remember. People rave about 4’s pacing, but I always felt like they drug 4 out for too long. You can certainly blast through the old ones pretty quickly if you know what you’re doing, but they all had a certain curve of understanding your limitations and then solving the puzzles - which a lot of is just knowing which items to take with you.

I've never seen the issue with that section at all and why it's deemed so utterly horrid myself. All the lab shit there is super creepy and I really like how balls to the wall tense it gets here. Regenerators, or whatever they're called, are also some of my favorite RE enemies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I mean once I knew what I was doing I could easily beat RE7 in under 2 hours, and I think closer to an hour on my faster playthroughs. Someone trying to blast through this game in 5 hours while ignoring stuff isn't surprising at all. The average person actually threatened by the zombies and trying to deal with them without having any foreknowledge about the game will probably easily hit 10 hours. I think my old RE1 playthroughs were well over 10 hours because I found the mansion confusing when I was younger and also the zombies scared the crap out of me as a kid. That cheesy ass reveal of the first zombie haunted me for years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People somehow beat Bloodborne in like 20+ hours and there was a huge drama and it took me fucking 70 because I actually enjoy playing and exploring games.

Bloodporne Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I really hope Mr. X isn't too far up your ass as a stalker type enemy. Based on quite a few reviews I've checked out, it kind of sounds like he's omnipresent after a certain point and even shooting your gun attracts him.

ALIEN-gunner Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 From all the reviews I've seen(no one reads reviews anymore) the Tyrant's AI is braindead and he seems to have been put in the game to prevent the player from taking their time.
