Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.
Anyway, just a quick rundown.
Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.
Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.
Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.
Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing. [Reply]

Beat RE 3 on Normal, a few thoughts:
- It's short, but good, it rests between DLC and a full game so I can see why each side has complaints. I beat it in 5 hours 14 minutes with 7 deaths, took 3 or 4 of those deaths on purpose to restart a section with more ammo after I saw what the game was throwing at me.
- Jill is great, Carlos is done well, they flirt but are more just trying to escape the city. Not really any forced love angle, just two people who lean on each other to survive. It gets annoying eventually that they throw out the F bomb, especially Jill and especially towards the end, so the dialogue could've been delivered with more thought.
- Nemesis is really well done at first, when he evolves into his second form, he becomes a reoccurring boss battle that happens four times overall. He should've been more menacing in certain sections of Jills campaign after the hospital, but it's a nitpick more than anything. The boss battles are different in how you have to defeat him, they were well done.
- The weapons feel great, alot of power in them and you get them at good times during the campaign. The only weapon I wish I would've gotten to use more was the magnum. You get it relatively late in the game, but I had a feeling I would need to save the ammo, and I did, you'll end up saving your ammo for the third fight against Nemesis.
Overall I would recommend it, although $60 is a bit overpriced for not as much material as RE 2 Remake was last year. I get to the point where I unlock everything in an RE game and then put it away for awhile until I come back to dominate again, and this one will be similar. They should've put the missing sections in the game from the original, like the clock tower, like the park, and like the Gravedigger worm fight. There aren't really any puzzles at all which is a shame, nothing even like the statues in RE 2 Remake. Only two or three safes in the game, so I wish they would've added more sections in the game to give it a little more variety and different combinations of enemies. I'm not mad about it, just wanted more after I was finished with the game and wished they would've delayed the game for another 4 to 6 months to implement it.
I would recommend playing on Hard the first time, not necessarily for the challenge, but a Store unlocks at the end of your first playthrough, and you get points to spend towards items in that store. The harder the difficulty, the more points you get. At the end of my first playthrough I got 8660 points but if I want to buy two hip pouches for right off the bat, I need 9600 points, so I have to play the game again just to get items that aren't even top of the line. I don't mind, I want to narrow down my time, but I wish I would've known before my first playthrough.
I concur - just finished the game. Thought ammo was a bit easier to come by this go 'round, as compared to other RE games.
Had a blast though. Graphics are great, action is great.
I think they could have made the Jill hospital and underground parts a little longer and harder (especially more of those pale-white zombies that were a bitch).
would like to see some free DLC though, to justify the 60 bucks.
But all that said, I dont feel ripped off at all, was lots of fun, and I havent even done the multiplayer yet. [Reply]
Been playing RE3 and loving it, which is no surprise because I love almost anything Resident Evil (except for RE6 and those god awful movies). It's not exactly a faithful remake but it's still a damn fine Resident Evil game, much like the last two. I'm just happy the series became great again. I never thought it would recover after 6.

Yeah I took the weekend to pretty much get all the unlockables like the assault rifle, rocket launcher etc. The rocket launcher, as expected, makes the game a cakewalk and lets you feel like a speed runner in some regards. Depending on the difficulty I can beat the game with the rocket launcher in around an hour. I wanted to get this game out of the way to make room for FFVII Remake on Friday. [Reply]

I went ahead and did the digital preorder on that so I could download it early since there was all this talk of how big it is and PS slowing download speeds, internet sucking etc...
Guess where I live that is no dice as it downloaded 100 gigs in an hour like normal. [Reply]
I bought Animal Crossing for my daughter so she could play with her friends and give her something to do while in quarantine. Worked like a charm so far, but I haven't gotten a chance to play it yet unfortunately. [Reply]

I've been losing myself in Kingdom Come Deliverance of late, which I picked up on sale for $15 on Steam. In some ways it's totally amazing, but at the same time perhaps the most frustrating game I've ever played. EVER. The combat is so difficult to figure out that it makes the Witcher games look like Pong. My character is level 10 and I still get beat down in the tournament like I'm a fucking toddler by the guards who cost 50 pounds each. I assume at some point I'll get it, but I'm not there yet. At least I'm finally to the point where I can fight off the average random assailants that jump me when I'm attempting to fast travel.
It makes sense that everything should be difficult for some bumbling illiterate kid, and this game makes no bones about this. You're not Geralt of Rivia or the Dragonborn, or the Vault Dweller who can at least pick up a gun and shoot it correctly with the aid of a Pip Boy. Everything is a pain in the ass in the beginning. Hell, you have to get to level 5 before you can shoot a bow correctly without injuring yourself, and much like in real life, there is no target reticle in the middle of the screen. At this point I've wished death upon the game developers, their families and everyone they've ever met, but I'm still at it. [Reply]

I know I'll hate it but I can't resist at that price. Just the opportunity to sit here, at night, in my house, in which I live alone, and the wind blowing the wrong way scares me....yeah, bring on the goosebumps. :-)
