it came out at a good time with the whole dudebro 360 thing in full effect while being a good coop game and marketed to hell and back. right place, right time.
Pretty much. It was a highly anticipated follow-up to RE4, which is considered by many to be one of the greatest games of all-time, and it promised similar gameplay but with added co-op, better graphics, sound, production values etc.

It still is a great game, in fact some days I prefer it to RE4, but at the time it released Capcom had been trying to outdo itself for several titles in the series, to the point where RE5 barely resembled Resident Evil. Then they completely jumped the shark with RE6.

Not really backwards, theyre all just different weapons. Generally speaking though the grenade launcher is Claires power weapon that should be saved for stronger enemies and bosses. Although she gets a budget magnum as well once you upgrade her revolver and find some magnum ammo. But yeah the grenade launcher is kind of a waste on zombies whereas the shotgun is Leons bread and butter. The SMG suits this role better for Claire (I tend to just destroy the zombies legs with it and run past).

Both Leon and Claire get alternate .45 pistols for their B games. I guess for varietys sake and to make sense of the fact that the other character is picking up all the 9mm laying around so someone has to use a .45 instead. Capcom also took the opportunity to create more tie-ins to the original using those guns.

Anyway Claires Single Action revolver is actually really powerful, far and away the most damaging pistol in the game apart from magnums, just dont fire quickly. Seriously 6 rounds is more than enough to down Mr. X if you focus each shot, IIRC. Even though it has an impressive rate of fire, you typically dont want to make use of it and just take slow headshots. You need to keep it topped up whenever possible since you have to manually eject the spent casings before loading new rounds. Treat it like a shotgun in that sense.

Agreed. One the things I really like about RE games is that, even though they tend to be kind of short and only a few modes to play, they lend themselves really well to speed and challenge runs, so they end up being very replayable.

Im on PS4, sorry

4-player local co-op has been in the game since launch. I heard 4-player was coming to online as well, although I may be mistaken.

Just played my first round of survival with my 3 sons. I was Max and they were all Estel lol (thank goodness for the new palette swaps! Before they used to fight over who gets to be Adam.) It was a lot of fun! Loved seeing the retro enemies/arenas and lots of new weapons. The perks are really neat, almost gives it a Binding of Isaac feel.

Two and a half times. I fly across the country fairly often and I watch movies on the planes entertainment system. But they have the same movies on there for a month or more. I should probably download stuff on Netflix before my flights more often so I have other things to watch.

Anyway, pretty great movie. Great soundtrack, photography and of course Phoenix knocks it out of the park. Loved the tone and moodiness of the film. Some lame writing though.

Its only really a problem if you have a micro-USB cable with a larger/longer connector. In my experience the port on the controller doesnt get damaged but the cable connector might.

The USB ports on the original PS4 are the more egregious design flaw IMO.

Sorry but no. Mass shooters are not shelling out $15-20k for class 3 firearms. TC is being disingenuous, full-auto has been banned since 1986. The only transferable full-autos are ones made before 1986 and are essentially collectors items at this point.

The map definitely is not for everyone. If you have a poor sense of direction I could see it being a struggle, especially in the Forgotten Crossroads. This isnt a git gud thing, some people are just better navigating without a map than others. But it makes for a more immersive experience and its so rewarding to find the paper trail to finally track down Cornifer and be able to buy the map of the area.

Also TC if you die, youre meant to hunt down your Shade and kill it to get your Geo and Soul Vessel restored la Soulsborne games.

And the music is gorgeous, not sure where those criticisms are stemming from.
