[rob mafia]

and here i was, reading about demon's souls remake (days after reading about rdr1 remake) and thinking that vidya has officially jumped the shark and gone hollywood, and is just lazily cashing in on remakes/reboots/sequels. i mean, vidya has been bad with sequels for a long time, but now RE games are being simultaneously remade and sequeled... and now with fucking werewolves?

i mean, i don't mind sequels in games based on play that are actually significantly adding to the experience (ie: goldeneye -> perfect dark -> timesplitters -> timesplitters 2 -> timesplitters future perfect [added online play, otherwise 2 was better] ), but most IPs seemed to have hit a wall in that regard. like... shit, red faction had destuctible environments. like 18 years ago or something.

but shit, at least RE has werewolves finally.

God forbid a franchise like Cheesy ass resident evil has WEREWOLVES! Blasphemy!

They were never gonna buy the game lol. They dont even like the series. The whole franchise is filled with B movie cheese...

Then we got people complaining about remakes of cult classics that only a few people played....

"Why are they just remaking games? Why not try to introduce something new?"

"Wow I can't believe they introduced something new to their franchise like werewolves. What idiots!"

Fuck, this made me snort out me tea.

Remaking a cult classic that literally most of the current audiences have never played, seems funny to me.

wat

so you complain about mainstream cheese (that i didn't play since re4) and call souls "cult classic" and that only a few played?

pick one.

...might as well add literally hitler to any game, by this logic. god forbid games try to hold any kind of plot/sense.

btw, i mocked the simultaneous remake/sequel strategy.

keep buying them, though.

Why does adding werewolves to a game make it not make sense?

yeah, i dunno... maybe because it was supposed to be about a t-virus, not lycanthropy?

 

[Dizzy]

The t-virus produced giant frog men.

Lolz

That and the T-Virus hasn't been the focus of Resident Evil for like 20 years.

Yeah I think Code Veronica was the last with the heavy emphasis on the t-virus.

...you guys just argued into a circle, and appear to be criticizing the direction - that's MY side.

Not criticizing anything. It’s an assumption that this is lycanthropy. It’s likely a mutation of a virus. No more ridiculous than a giant frog man.

1. weren't they just giant frogs?
2. same difference, and kinda my point. if the same sentences that look absurd and mockery/criticism to me sound like the basis of a good game to you - well,

Hunters are from a mutation mixed with frog DNA. Something similar could be happening here.

I’m really excited about having werewolves in RE. Bring in the whole classic monster series for all I care. It’s fun. That’s what I play games for.

 

[Hitman81]

I'm happy Resident Evil is back on track as being a solid game series but as an OG fan, damn do I wish to these were a little more like the series I knew and loved. They look great but I didn't find RE7 identifiable at all

Demon Souls is literally the definition of a cult classic.

The souls series only came into the 'mainstream' after Dark Souls. It sold 1.7 million compared the 25 million of DS1. Demon Souls literally was deemed a failure right out the gates, and Sony rejected it before picking it up.

Why would I need to pick between RE being cheesy and DeS being a cult classic? Those things can occur at the same time.

He was never gonna play the game, and hasnt played since RE4. He just likes to hate, thats his shtick.

RE8 is gonna be great, and if the worst RE game theyve released in a long time is an eight out of ten [RE3make], then this is gonna be at least great.

umm... re6 was seemingly universally hated.

Demon Souls is literally the definition of a cult classic.

not only is it not the literal definition (i mean, come on)... it's not even any part of one.

in what world is demon's souls similar to rocky horror or whatever? are there midnight parties every weekend where people cosplay from it and recite lines? no? thanks.

also, you said only a few people played. and then you list launch numbers. you seem to conveniently omit that many played it after dark souls (or when demon's souls was on ps+).

Why would I need to pick between RE being cheesy and DeS being a cult classic? Those things can occur at the same time.

...hence, my point. in your criticism being wonky at best and looking contradictory, at realist.

you're right about one thing, though - i'm sure as shit not buying re8.

 

[jojoRed]

umm... re6 was seemingly universally hated.

Released in 2012.

Since then theyve released REvelation 2, RE7, RE2make, and RE3make, all to critical and commercial success...

Thats definitely a great run of main RE games.....

not only is it not the literal definition (i mean, come on)... it's not even any part of one.

How did I know you were gonna be so pedantic? I knew you were gonna focus on the 'literal' instead of actually acknowledging what I meant [which you do, but hate to admit it]

in what world is demon's souls similar to rocky horror or whatever? are there midnight parties every weekend where people cosplay from it and recite lines? no? thanks.

What does any of that even mean?

also, you said only a few people played. and then you list launch numbers. you seem to conveniently omit that many played it after dark souls (or when demon's souls was on ps+).

Lol if you think 1.7 mill are launch numbers...

Those are figures as of 2015: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souls_(series)#Sales

you seem to conveniently omit that many played it after dark souls (or when demon's souls was on ps+).

Where is your source on that? Im not denying Souls fans didnt go back and play DeS, but you overestimate the audience number that DeS appealed to. Hell compare how many people in your friends list downloaded COD MW or TLOU compared to how many downloaded DeS.

...hence, my point. in your criticism being wonky at best and looking contradictory, at realist.

Just what the hell does this even mean....

you're right about one thing, though - i'm sure as shit not buying re8.

Then why give it any time? You clearly dont value your time since you spend most of it here hating on shit you dont like....
