  • I have no idea how Capcom managed to re-capture the x-factor that made Resident Evil 2 such an incredible game, but they've totally done it here. What a game.

      Im gonna wait to get it simply due to the fact that the OG RE2 when finished gave you reasons to go back like finish the game in under 2hrs and no save or use health sprays to get special weapons. Play as hunk to retrieve the virus or play as tofu......look it up. Wondering if all this will be in game or dlc

      Same with me dude, I had only played RE6 the arguably worst entry in the series with one of my friends since it's supposed to be this so bad it's good coop experience. But I hadn't even seen a trailer for it that's how little I cared, up until a month before release. I saw the first 5 min of Indeimaus' RE4 video and decided to get it myself, then played and beat it. Then I remembered a new RE game was coming out and lo and behold... GOTY.

    I’m glad someone else appreciates the usage of nicely implemented backtracking. I hate that a game having it has become a negative thing to most gamers today.
    To me it’s what made Dark Souls 1 so great. I love becoming intimate with a map and remembering every nook and cranny and gradually being able to learn the fastest route to specific points throughout the map. It’s why I’m so fond of metroidvania level design.

    Really like the "timer" analogy used here and really appreciate you trying to avoid spoilers of any kind. Thats a huge problem nowdays specially when the freaking spoiler is so often on the thumbnail itself and its being shoved on your face by youtube, almost being unavoidable. It almost makes you question if you should watch a review before or after playing the game, which in my opinion, defeats its purpose. So again, kudos on that and a really good review.

    First off thank you for another fantastic review. I really appreciate the passion you put into each of your videos. Your love for games and the culture surrounding them is unmistakable and I get so stoked each time another notification shows up for your channel.
    I have never been a huge survival horror fan with the exception of Dead Space, but RE2 has completely won me over. The one thing I was really disappointed in however was how much of the B scenario play through felt unaffected by the A run. I would have really loved to see a similar system as in Prey Mooncrash where the choice to take or leave behind loot adds another strategic level to the gameplay. It was a bit immersion breaking to have the same locks and safes unopened for Claire when I just played through with Leon and busted into everything I could. Overall its a small gripe, but I would have loved to see what the experience would have been like with that added bit of difficulty.

    Backtracking is especially good if the space evolves to advance the story. If you just keep getting fetch-quested to the same place to do the same thing with the same enemies and items, that seems like lazy short-cutting.
    But if each time you go back, the space has evolved in a way that reacts to your earlier presence in a way that makes sense to the story, then that's only going to immerse you further.

    Another quality review that does proper service and respect to the community. Why the actual hell many other reviewers and content creators (still) do not understand that they are peoviding a service to a community and, as such, need to hold themselves to a higher standard...is beyond me.
    One thing I have learned over the years about YT video game content creators is this: most of them are just here to make a quick buck and do so without any regard or care to actually learning how to and subsequently become a professional at it. And the area that you pass with flying colors has been and still remains “consistency in quality.”
    When you stop making video reviews, I’ll stop showing up on YT for reviews. Thanks again for your time and respect; regarding the handling of spoilers while still being able to articulate your points. Cheers, mate!

    I'll tell you why Vice City was better than GTA3. It had personality with a big P. The character you played; Tommy Vercetti was voiced by Ray friggin' Liotta who also starred in the movie "Goodfellas". Whenever Tommy extorted someone it felt real as hell compared to the silent protagonist in GTA3. You also had William Ficthner portraying your lawyer. Philip Michael Thomas from "Miami Vice" voicing your partner. On top of that you had Burt Reynolds, Dennis Hopper, Tom Sizemore, Robert Davi, Luiz Gusmán, Danny Trejo, Lee Majors, Kevin McKidd, Danny Dyer and Gary Busey. An amazing 5 star cast set in a lively 80's setting with one of the best handpicked soundtracks in gaming history. I was so hyped for it that I made sure to have my tonsillectomy around it's release in hopes of getting 2 weeks off from school. It worked even better. I got 3.

    As far as backtracking goes in video games... Red Dead Redemption 2 beats all other games. No other game have I spent so much time in towns or beautiful mountain vistas either to see a sunset or experience the world and atmosphere as I have RDR2. Whether it's hunting, exploring and seeking a new adventure, the more I spend time in the beautiful world of RDR2, the more I fall in love with it. I've never felt this way about any other game.

In all other games, including open world, they got repetitive going back where you've already been. In RDR2, I've spent well over 200 hours in the game and I have yet to feel like it's tiresome.

    True Story: I defeated the final boss in RE4 with my last bullet in my last gun. I literally said "f*** it" aimed and shot with my handgun's last bullet. Well the sucker died. CAPCOM 4life. Long live the RE series. Can't wait for Nemesis...

    100% "spoiler free".... shows video of the later areas of the game... i mean RE, veterans like myself already know about those, but maybe new people do care

    Why do people who rave about cinematics always leave subtitles on? It totally kills any cinematic effect for me. If you are hard of hearing, I understand, otherwise, why use them?

      takes like half a sec to skim unless you suck at reading. also sometimes characters are quiet, or sound effects are too loud. so, subs.

      @@ignisbarron6981 would you want closed captions in a movie theater? Or wouldn't you agree that it would disconnect you from the experience. Today so many games are properly praised for implementing minimal hud elements for the same reason. Why go through all that effort to have subtitles on by default. I know I can just turn them off. To each their own I guess. If I can't hear, I just turn it up.

    I saw some gameplay and there was a cinimatic that actually brought tears to my eyes. I have an idea of other scenes that will do the same and I am hopeful they will be brutal. I cant bloody wait to play this game. All reviews so far are giving very high marks.

    Thanks for another good review. I haven’t watched you for a long time due to your bias towards Warframe, but your last two have been back to what you were. Bravo
