While you're here, the use of assets from the Resident Evil 4 Remake is fan art, satire/parody, and part of a review. All three fair use airhorns.

i included lots of awful aiming footage for you to grit your teeth to
Lmao. I was playing earlier and kept dying at the opening Village because it'd been awhile since I'd played 💀
Honestly that's fair, the opening village feels like a trial by fire! I think the only reason I didn't die is I spent so much time running away haha
@reallylatereviews the best strategy I've found for the village is to go into this one building. Funny enough I had played so much of the remake I got confused because some windows and things weren't present in the original RE4 lmao
@@Neros_lightThat's completely understandable haha! I've since seen more of the remake, and the village really turned me around. For the original, I completely missed going in that building the first time around, with all the windows you can block. I just ran around outside rofl
@@reallylatereviews I actually used the building across from the one where you can find the shotgun hanging on the wall
This is genuinely, one of the most entertaining videos I've seen on RUclips in a while. Loved every second, every joke, and the fact you enjoyed this so much. Awesome video
Ayy Julius! Thank you for coming back! I really did love this game and making the video haha, so I'm so glad you enjoyed it! (I worry about my jokes landing so this is especially nice to hear)
I know I repeat myself, but thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave such kind words, and for watching as well! I really do appreciate it!
@@reallylatereviews how could I not, some of the most enjoyable time on RUclips talking about games I love to death, easiest decision to come back!! I absolutely look forward to your take on the remake, I'll refrain from giving my thoughts so that you go in fresh and build your own opinion.
@@JuliusCaesar103Thank you holy smokes! It might be a while before I tackle the remake, and a friend has streamed some of it for me after I made this so don't fret too much about holding back haha. I'm always grateful to hear thoughts!
@@reallylatereviews that's fine, I look forward to looking whatever you make next. If it's anywhere close to being half as good as this video, I'm sure it'll be a blast.
You guys are awesome!
I really love your use of star trek references in all these review.
Haha thank you dude! I try to get some Star Trek in whenever it feels appropriate. I'm a big fan
I want to followup and thank you again for watching my videos and stopping to leave a nice comment. I really appreciate! Thank you!
Im am so jealous of anyone who plays OG re4 for the 1st time. Such a masterpiece of a game. Great review with superb editing and writing as per usual but is always appreciated and never taken for granted. GOAT game and a GOAT review.
Maaaan thank you! I tell ya, I get what you're saying completely. This is one of those games that you're swept up in the first time with it's own learning curve, something a lot of modern games lack. It really is a masterpiece.
Thank you again for watching! And taking the time out of your day to stop and leave kind words. I really do appreciate it, thank you!
You are one of the most high-effort creators I've seen in a while. Criminally underrated as well.
Holy smokes thank you! That is such a lovely thing to say. I enjoy making videos and making people laugh. If I can do this, and showcase some great games, it's worth the effort!
Thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to watch my video. I really do appreciate it, thank you!
Just when I thought this day couldn't get any better you uploaded. Let's go!
Holy smokes ayyy thank you for coming back Ore! The best part of making videos is knowing someone wants to come back and watch, so all I can say is thank you and I hope ya enjoy it! Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Incredible work as always mate loved every second of it. Here’s a comment for the good old algorithm ✊
Can’t wait to see what you’ve got in store for us next!!!
Ayy Looney I missed this the other day I'm sorry about that, youtube is making it harder to keep up. Thanks for the other comment as well bless you my dude! Glad you liked it I really am :D
@@reallylatereviews No problem at all mate 😁
Just beat the remake and 20 minutes later you upload this, have a pre-emptive thumbs-up and thank you for your cool vids
Haha holy smokes that's timing! I won't lie, I make a couple of fun pokes at the remake, but I have heard nothing but good things about it and it looks like a lot of fun!
And honestly, thank you! For watching, commenting and liking, I hope the video earns your thumbs up! Thank you!
Your editing and humour are so up my alley, I love it!
And Dragon's Dogma clips are always the icing on the cake 😌
Holy smokes, thank you! I'm just glad it's well received haha! I can't get away from Dragon's Dogma so I may as well bring it with me too :D
Thank you so much for watching, and again for commenting kind words. It helps me want to make more videos, so I really do appreciate it! Thank you!
@@reallylatereviews When Dragon's Dogma gets you, there is no way back XD
Truuuue rofl
Watching your reviews is always worth my time!
Ayyyy Seiryu thank you for coming back! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I tell you it is not a short video haha! So it means a lot to me to see people come back to watch. Thank you, for watching and your kind words. I do appreciate it! (I say it a lot but I mean it, thank you!)
I've been binge watching all of your reviews, they're so entertaining. I really hope you blow up someday and get the exposure you deserve.
Also, I just wanted to point out that you can instantly kill all the plagas that pops out of enemy heads with a flash grenade, you didn't mention it when you went over the grenades and I didn't see you do it in any of the footage so I'm assuming you didn't know, forgive me if I'm wrong. It's a great mechanic that can make a lot of encounters so much easier. Works in the remake too if you ever get around to playing that.
Anyways keep up the great work, and thank you for letting me take a trip down memory lane with all these classics.
Holy smokes. What can I say but thank you. I really mean it, it means the world to me to know someone wants to watch even one of my videos, let alone all of them. Ya know what blowing up would be nice, but so long as I can make people smile I am happy!
I had NO idea holy shit that is cool! I never pulled a flashbang on a plaga now that I think about it. Thank you for sharing this! I do try to catch everything but I always miss something :D
I will repeat myself and say thank you again for watching and taking the time to leave really kind words, I appreciate it, thank you!
Close enough, welcome back hbomberguy! (All jokes aside, i love your narration and i think you have something really awesome going here, this not having thousands of likes genuinely shocked me. Keep it up!)
Haha first of all please let me say thank you for watching and for your kind words. I do appreciate it, thank you!
I want to also say I'm not too fussed with views or likes. I'd love if more people saw this one as it's my favourite, but I'm happy so long as someone enjoys it, and it's more than enough to receive kind comments like yours. So thank you!
You're late alright, I was about to go to sleep. You're lucky that I really like your reviews. Worth the wait.
As much as I enjoyed the remake I see myself replaying the og more just because it was able to let its hair down & be uninhibited.
Luis: You stay here with Leon he's better with the ladies
It's interesting that the final scenes of Leon and Ashley on a jetski mimics that of Solid Snake and Meryl on a snowmobile in MGS.
Thank you! I've never played the remake, but I've watched a friend stream some and yeah it looked like it took itself more seriously. Apart from that chainsaw kick bit at least. Luis got a bigger role I think so it's got some upsides. I have no idea about MGS but the parallel is neat to know, I'll have to remember that! I am unsure of MGS' availability on PC but I will look into it, I hear they are some fantastic games.
And thank you! For taking the time out of your day to leave such kind words and watch my video. Thank you! (But also my videos can wait haha! Be sure to get some rest when you can! :D )
Re4 is such a classic. I don't like most shooters. I don't enjoy most horror. But I sure love Leon S Kennedy's Spanish vacation.
It really does have that appeal to it I think that even if someone hated horror, they'd enjoy this game. I couldn't agree more, a real classic. A vacation for the ages :D
Thank you as well! For stopping by to comment and for watching my video, thank you!
@@reallylatereviews Just happy to be here, I found your channel a couple weeks ago and have had a lot of fun watching all your videos!
Ayyy then holy smokes thank you again! My videos are not short haha! It's lovely to hear you enjoy them, so thank you!
An incredibly funny review my guy, enjoyed it
Maaan thank you! That is so nice to hear it really is. I think if the video is this long I need to make it fun to watch rofl
Again, thank you! I really appreciate you watching and leaving kind words!
Another excellent, entertaining, and long review. Looking forward to the next.
Constantine! Thank you! It really warms my heart to see people come back and watch my videos especially when they're this long! I just hope I can keep making videos worth your time and not keep ya waiting too long either haha!
Thank you, for watching all my videos and leaving kind words. It means a lot to me!
So funny and pleasant video! You deserve to be much more famous! You are very talented! I hate that, unfortunately, everything is connections - talented people like yourself are not rich or famous because you are not "in the secret club " which is really atrocious!!! Thank you so much from Bulgaria, for providing me with some laughter when I'm so depressed, because of problems!!! Thank you!!!!! You are awesome!!!
I wanna say thankyou so much for your kind comments both here and on another video, holy smokes, I really appreciate it! Thank you! I'm not worried about being famous I just want to make good videos that make people laugh and have fun doing it! And ya know what if I can make ya smile on those days where you really need a smile, then that is more than I could hope for. That is just lovely. Thank you for watching and commenting! I really do appreciate it!
Love your channel brother wish you great success this year
Ayy thank you! I hope ya have a great year too! And honestly what more can I say but thank you for watching, and stopping by to say kind words. Thank you!
Great vid, lad. Another banger
Ayy Lymarra! Thank you! I'm not gonna lie, really pleased with this one so glad you enjoyed it!
I am gonna add of course, thank you! For coming back to watch and leaving kind words. I always appreciate it, thank you! (Also I did look into lands of lore 3 a little, and I wrote it down so I didn't forget)
Loved this, really good job
Thank you for your kind words holy smokes, and thank you as well for watching! I'm really happy with this video haha so I'm doubly grateful! Thank you!
Awesome review, deserving of waaaay more views.
Ayyyy thank you! You are too kind I am just happy that people are watching it haha! What more can I say, just thank you so much for watching and for your kind words! Thank you!
These reviews are so perfect 👌 😅
Ayy MrSnugz! Thank you so much, honestly it's so lovely to see people come back. RUclips made it basically impossible to check if I recognise names or avatars but I do try my best :D All I can say is thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a lovely comment! Thank you!
@@reallylatereviews np always coming back to see what late review you got next aha and glad you remember meee! 😁🥳 this channel sets you apart from so many others with your humour and editing which is really great, also the length of the video is perfect too, it's so chill kicking back whilst drinking tea or something aha
See youu in the next video 👍
@@mrsnugz1312 Maaaan thank you! Imma try to make more videos for you to chill with tea to holy smokes
U're simply the best!!!😊
"I recognize that voice from somewhere.... ffs the main villain is Raylof from Skyrim" 😂
rofl I love that guy, he voices half the population of skyrim
(I want to quickly add thank you as well! For watching and commenting, I appreciate it! So thank you!)
Way to kick off the year, all right!
Ayyyy Axel! Thank you for coming back to watch my dude after so long and, just thank you honestly! It means a lot to me. I dunno what else to say except I hope you have a great year and hopefully the video wasn't too bad haha!
Thank you!
This was so funny and cool! Are you gonna do a review like this on the older resi games too??? 😍😍😍
Holy smokes first of all, thank you! For your kind words and for taking the time to watch my long video haha!
And ya know what I've been thinking about it, and I probably will. Not right away but I've got my sights set on RE5 at least.
Thank you again!
What a journey of a video this is, throughout the whole of it i was just seeing myself as a young boy again, playing the game for hours on end on the wii, it really was good to remember how impressed i was at it through your own fresh impressions, once in a while or even more often than not tis maybe better to let oneself be carried away and amazed, playing along with the game and what is trying to convey rather than analyze and evaluate from a sort of constructed distance, anyhow, thanks for such a wonderful job and as i said, quite the journey!
Holy smokes thank you! For watching my long video and for your kind words! I really appreciate that, thank you!
It really is an impressive game haha, so I get that completely! It's difficult sometimes to truly enjoy a game while analyzing it, I won't lie. So what I do is wait for keypoints to write down all my notes, except for those moments I absolutely need to talk about :P
Thank you again!
Format health boost, all you need is a green and yellow herb. Red is not mandatory.
Thank you for bringing this up, I missed this and it's gonna bother me haha! I had a hard time gauging just how much the health gauge went up each time, and to tell you the truth I really did think the red herb increased the health boost.
Thank you! Not just for pointing this out but for also watching and commenting, I really do appreciate it!
Eyyyyyyyy always a great day whenever you drop a video mate and one covering everyone’s favourite squeaky voiced midget Napoleon no less as Yahtzee once eloquently put 😂 Awesome job after the direct I shall absolutely be watching this. 🏆✊
Ayyy Looney! Thank you my dude and rofl, I love that guy I really do. Salazar has real character to him, they put so much character into all of roles really. Looking forward to the direct discussion followup as well! (And thank you again as well! :D )
@@reallylatereviews No problem at all mate just finished up with the direct and got me notes all done. Gonna settle into this great video now ✊
Just be sure to get some rest yo! I think I will be haha
Thank you Looney!
Dude, it's so funny. Whenever you randomly cross my mind and i go check your channel, there's a fresh new video! (I don't use notifications, sorry)
Gonna watch the video later. But for now i'll leave a like, because i know it'll be good :)
Ayyy Doodson! Thank you for coming back! And ya know what I don't blame you, I've never used them for youtube haha! I just appreciate you going through the trouble of coming back, that's amazing to hear so thank you! I hope ya enjoy the video I really do :D
Trouble of coming back?! You're mental! I love your videos! There's no trouble at all :D
Wish you all the best! let me know if i can help! :D
Haha holy shit, thank you! And I tell ya just knowing they're worth seeing and given someone a smile really is enough for me! Thank you my dude!
Excited for the Elden ring review in 20 years!
Ayyy I've thought about it rofl. I worry I'll just be repeating what others have said cause that game is great.
Gonna also add here, thank you! For watching my long ass video and commenting too! Thank you!
Love how this dude gushes over the game 😊
Ayyyyy I love this game so I gotta gush haha! I really do think it just hits every note, one of the best games I've ever played.
I want to say thank you so much for watching, and for taking the time out of your day to comment. I do appreciate it, so thank you!
I don’t leave comments often,so your welcome😀👍
Really fun reviews, first time commenting (I think?) but checked out a couple before (sin episodes, dark messiah, dragon's dogma)
Replaying RE4 myself for the Nth time (lost count), BTW, you said you used re4 tweaks, and it has a lot of cool stuff constantly added to it (using version 1.9 from the github, HD project comes with an older version I think), I find it making RE4 play almost like a modern 3rd person shooter with the mouse tweaks (still tank turning in a way, but much more tolerable, camera does at times still recenter, you can disable some recentering), fov tweaks let alone all the other fixes & stuff.
... Oh, and though it's not in the GUI yet (maybe beta feature, it does look "janky" in gameplay), the trainer ini file inside the re4 tweaks folder lets you assign buttons to swapping out weapons in real time! (a simple line to switch to true) Number key 1 cycles through handguns, 2 shotguns, 3 rifles (&TMP), 4 rocket & mine launcher, 5 throwables, all without ever entering your inventory.
Ayyy well first off thank you! For watching my videos and taking the time to comment, I really appreciate that, thank you! Aw the weapon swap sounds great! I had no idea, I wish I had investigated further but I won't lie I didn't want to go too far past the HD project. I should have done though. re4tweaks really is such a great addition I agree. It definitely made the mouse aiming sharper and as someone who enjoyed the tank experience haha, I can only see the modern movement scheme being a great way to get people playing. Anti-tank movement I wish I had thought of that joke. Oh gosh and the FOV!
Let me say thank you again, it's always lovely to hear someone's enjoyed my videos. I just hope I can keep making videos you enjoy. Thank you!
5 minutes in and this is a classic
Maaaaan thank you. I don't know what else to say but thank you for watching my long ass video, and taking the time to leave kind words. If you stop watching after 5 minutes I promise it'll stay a classic haha. For real, I appreciate it, thank you!
Legitimately hilarious script for this video.
Haha thank you! I always worry about the scripts being alright, so it's lovely to hear. I really appreciate ya coming back to watch SomeoneBritish (I am sure you're returning but youtube has made it impossible for me to double check so please forgive me if my memory is just bad) So thank you, for watching and leaving a nice comment!
Like the video dudes, I had to wait a day to watch this and and idk how but the vid is barely over 400 views and at 60~ likes. Looks like youtube is burying it, this should be getting way more eyes imo.
Holy smokes all I can say is thank you for saying this because it's so nice to hear but the truth is this is pretty normal for my videos! I'm not too worried or fussed about big views haha, I'm just hopeful they're enjoyed and that's enough for me :D
But I won't lie, I really appreciate you leaving kind words and taking the time to watch my long ass video haha! Thank you, it means a lot to me!
You deserve 1 million subscribers.
Maaaaaaaan thank you! I don't know if I could handle that many subscribers! I am grateful for all my current subscribers and everyone watching. And thankful to you, for taking the time out of your day to leave kind words, and to watch my long video as well haha!
Thank you, I really do appreciate it!
38:18 This is definitely a plus for me, Leon’s ass is my favorite channel on the television
I knew to appeal to the Leon enjoyers as much as possible. And I'm glad he's getting screentime on your TV :D
Thank you! For stopping to watch and comment on my video, I do appreciate it! So thanks!
I still got my original ps2 copy from target when it came out thanks mom love this game
That is lovely holy smokes. Bless your mom for getting it! Hold onto that somewhere safe my dude!
Please let me say thank you for watching my video and for commenting as well, I appreciate it! Thank you!
I play the vr version, it is like modern resident evil game. I was able to shoot while moving.
That sounds fantastic, I had no idea there was a VR version. I did try VR but it was also the first time in my life I had motion sickness rofl. If the day comes I can use it without feeling ill, I'll try this in VR 100%
Sorry for rambling, let me say thank you! For watching and commenting on my video! I appreciate that and the headsup about the VR version! Thank you!
Played RE4 for the first time a couple years ago. I played games with tank controls before but never in combination with over-the-shoulder view, my brain kinda short circuited from that setup and initially I had difficulty even with going through the doors💀
I have too much class, never discovered THE NUT SHOT x)
Leon is so pretty (❀❛ ֊ ❛ )♡ But Ramon was best boy for me, smol campy childish cutiepie x) Maybe he's still fun in the remake (didn't play it yet), but I can't get over how they massacred his looks and took away his lil tricorn hat ಥ ヮ ಥ💔
I liked Ashley, not everybody can be Ada Wong and I think she manages okay for the type of character she is. I know I would be so much worse in this circumstances. Probably will refuse to leave a safety of the dumpster or something🗿
Great video, really fun watch! ˗ˏˋ ♡ ˎˊ˗
I think that is completely fair haha! I lucked out with the tank controls, I think having played another tank controls game a while back helped me out. I respect the class as well but I always check for nut shots :D
And I tell you do not worry, there is zero shame in hiding in the dumpster! I'd be popping in there myself because when the axes and chainsaws come out that's when I go home rofl. But I have a lot of respect for Ashley, she's the average person making the best of the situation. Also I know some big Leon fans haha so I tried to cater to them a bit :P but holy smokes they completely changed Ramon's look in the remake
Lastly I want to say thank you! For taking the time to watch my long video and to leave a lovely comment, I appreciate it! So thank you!
@@reallylatereviews "Also I know some big Leon fans haha so I tried to cater to them a bit :P"
As you should ˗ˏˋ💪₍⸍⸌̣ʷ̣̫⸍̣⸌₎
"but holy smokes they completely changed Ramon's look in the remake"
Yeah, he's got the short(lol) end of the stick in that regard for sure. Well, at least Luis got even more olala~ and the girlies look great.
Thank YOU for making feature length quality vids like this!
@@secretsecret6381 I haven't played the remake but I've seen some of it. And Luis getting more to do as well, that's what I'm talking about he's great :D
There is a lot I love about this channel and your work, but one thing I do really HATE.
Which is the fact that it takes you centuries to drop a new video. I am hatching a plan how to get you fired from your job, so that you have more time to make these😊
Haha aw I just wish there was more time for everything honestly! But that is a lovely thing to read, thank you, genuinely.
The truth is these take so long mostly because recording my voiceover is a nightmare. And in the winter I have to find days when I don't sound awful on a mic haha!
Let me also say thank you for watching, for commenting and coming back to watch! I really do appreciate it (I say that a lot but I do), thank you!
❤❤
I just wanna reply to say thank you for watching and commenting! :D Thank you! I appreciate it!
Once you beat the game and can put Ashley in the knights armor she is the best weapon and armor in the game. Lol put her in between you and the enemies and tell her "wait here" then back of and shoot them as they fail to damage or carry her lol
Haha! Aw that's genius. I had heard about the knights armor but I've not played with it, and that's genius to let Ashley tank rofl, perfect. I bet she can make it through the catapult bit that way too!
Thank you! For watching my long video and stopping by to comment! I really do appreciate that, so thank you!
@reallylatereviews yeah nothing can hurt her. For the catapult portion just have her wait under that first bridge you go under by the stairs. One more enemy will come from behind to grab her but once you kill him she's good. Then clear out the hut and have her wait there. But yeah in the armor she is invincible. I think once you beat the game you can unlock the special wardrobes
New video🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ayyy Vulture! Hope ya doing good! Thank you so much I swear, getting to see people come back makes these videos worth the aggro. I just really hope you enjoy the video. Thank you (ya know I appreciate it)!
@@reallylatereviews man, your videos keep getting better and better :'0
Really love your reviews, hope to see more soon :P
Hope ya doing good too¡!
Thank you, just thank you haha! It's so lovely to hear, it really is and I'm gonna do my best to get another one out! Maybe not for a little while though :D
@@reallylatereviews we'll let you cook lol
RE4 was over-praised in my opinion. Yeah, it was the last good game in the Resident Evil Franchise, but I didn't think the game was that great, I actually enjoyed the previous Resident Evil games more than 4. Of course, now every season Capcom has to announce a Resident Evil remake of every game, and sequels that are just getting worse and worse. I don't know why Capcom is committed to making more RE Games when they should stop. I hope RE 9 is their last game, but I have a feeling they are going for 10 so they can get a free ice cream at Baskin Robbins. Unless they make a Resident Evil game where you play as the mysterious masked Mercenary, Hunk. They should stop. I mean, Paul Anderson eventually stopped with those unbelievably bad and vomit-inducing Resident Evil movies. Watching those movies was worse than Chinese water torture. I wish Capcom would make newer original games because they can't rely on Resident Evil forever. This reminds me of way back I think in 2000, 2001, or 2002. Capcom announced they were making a gothic horror dark fantasy action game set in the Middle Ages during the height of the black plague where you play as a knight who would get to fight demons and the undead, and Capcom decided to cancel the project in the end because they must have thought it's too much like Devil May Cry or Onimusha. And I say, what were they thinking. I would have loved to play a game like that. What they were about to do was Dark Souls and Bloodborne. They could have marketed on that before From Software did, and now their refusal to go down with that idea just cost them money in the long run, because From Software got those same ideas years later and they made a lot of bank from it. Maybe some of the developers who worked on Dark Souls and Bloodborne used to work at Capcom, left the company where they decided to continue with their idea somewhere else. The only sequel that I want to see coming from Capcom is Devil May Cry because I love those games, anything else I would them to experiment more on new IPs.
I think if I could add just one line to this review, it would be recognising how vastly different RE4 was to the earlier installments. But I do stand by what I said as I don't view it as a fourth installment, I view it as it's own game just set in the same universe. I will say this, after playing RE4, Village felt more diluted than I remember. I always thought they rushed the strongest aspect of that game, pushing you through the castle as quickly as possible. I felt it even more after RE4.
The other addendum to this is I doubt I'd enjoy the more punishing gameplay of RE1, so my love for RE4 is not borne from any attachment to the franchise, it's just that I really enjoyed it. But I can see why for classic RE fans, it is a departure and not necessarily a good one.
The idea of a Capcom Dark Souls is new to me, I would have liked to have seen what they came up with, gosh what a missed opportunity there. And oh the movies I've never even gone there but yeah, they look awful.
I only hear good things about DMC (well some scuffed bits about one of the PC ports but besides that) I've yet to play one though. Hopefully I'll get around to it, but I'm surprised there hasn't been a sequel announcement. It felt like a massive franchise but I'm not really informed haha
Anyway sorry for long reply, I just wanted to say I get where you're coming from and, well I never try to jump on any bandwagons. It was only after I finished this I looked at other RE4 videos and the word masterpiece got thrown around everywhere and it's like "oh well, now it looks like I just played it safe" rofl. But it's not like that, I don't want no Baskin Robbins ice cream, I just wanted to talk about a game I enjoyed.
But I do want to say thank you for watching and taking the time out of your day to comment, I really do appreciate that, so thank you!
this video shows how the original was so amazing and 10/10 but to me atleast everything that made the original a 10/10 was removed in the remake which makes me dislike it but it was ok and way too realistic than what the original was, so many good things were either cut or replaced in the remake and i hate this new type of aming they are doing, it the remake its just shit and the worst idea they had done, the new leon that ate up his trauma rather than walking it off and focusing on why he was there was removed and i just see the remake leon an emo and the lines he was wasnt cheesy or funny like the original but more eh and wanted to be deaf than hear what he said but "nighty night knights" i kinda liked it
Dragons dogma 2 it's real
It's real my dude! I might eventually get to it, but for now I haven't got time to play it for myself haha :D
It's on the list, I'll get around to it :P And also thank you Legend27 for coming back to comment and watch, I appreciate it I really do!
