Which do you prefer?



I'm finally getting around to Remake. I bought it in the winter Steam sale and like everything you buy in a Steam sale, I ignored it for several months before installing it. It's pretty good! It looks amazing! Mr. X in route 1 isn't that bad!

I haven't beaten it yet (at the sewers in Claire A) so I can't say for sure which I prefer, but I think I still prefer the original? We'll see if that changes as it goes.

Both fantastic but probably prefer 98 for reasons I can't really explain with where you are in the game

Remake is definitely scarier though.

Is it? I think the shift to a behind-the-back camera makes it less scary as I have more control. Even though RE2 is more of an action game, and surprisingly colourful at times, the fixed camera angles just drip with fear and dread. It's hard to compare this to my experience playing RE2 on the N64 as a 13 year-old though.

x gonna give it to ya memes are what the internet was made for

RE2 was a favourite game of mine growing up despite being someone who always shies away from anything horror related

but REmake2 really broke the mould with this meme. i can't get enough of it.

Original, mainly because hey, I unabashedly love RE lore and even in the original's mess of scenarios told the story way better than the remake's serious lack of making anything try to connect or fit together in any way.

pretty surprised by the gap here! RE2R plays really well, but man... the original is so good.

wrapped up Claire A last night, gonna give it a week or so before I tackle Leon B. might mess around with ghost survivors in the meantime.

why is Capcom allergic to giving us mercs

hmm

my top 10 before was something like...

anodyne 2
apex legends
baba is you
control
devotion
disco elysium
eliza
judgment
remnant from the ashes
super mario maker 2

I could probably drop eliza for it but I don't think it goes any higher than 10 for me

If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?

Leon's route is definitely better than Claire's! You should have started with his for sure. The B scenario is shorter and people say it cuts out too much, but uhhh, really I think it just cuts out some slow beginning stuff? So you should be fine experiencing his route in the B scenario.

Eh, I went with the order I usually go when I replay it.

And yeah Leon B starts just outside the police station where you meet Claire after the helicopter crashes.

I can't imagine not playing the B side immediately.

And then doing the reverse order.

I didn't like RE7 much, but it's some people's favorite.
