I LEARNED'D something today!

[MinisterofDOOM]

I frankly couldn't be any LESS excited about RE5. I hate RE games so much. They just get WORSE with time, which is pretty bad considering how broken the first one was. At least it had it's charms, though. RE4 did not. RE5 will not. And the idea of controlling two characters really seems frustrating, unappealing, and potentially extremely tedious.

The Wii game is called "Fragile."

[krimsonviper]

I'm probably a fanboi, but explain yourself please.

[Dattebayo]

Hey, quit ignoring me, I am bored! I am sorry I don't have tits (not really), but pay some goddamn attention!!!

morning kv, morning mod.

[Dattebayo]

I just realized puddin pops are brown.

[krimsonviper]

I'm tired and want to go home and enjoy my new game.

[numbnuts240]

well, pudding is brown, so i'm a little confused by your statement

[frapjap]

hes trying to tell you that he likes to lick frozen turds.

on the other hand, its been forever since I've had a pudding pop.

Morning!

Hey tito, come down this weekend.

[numbnuts240]

no can do, i'm all booked up this weekend. friend's b-day tonight, boxing match tomorrow, recovery on sunday.

pudding pops are gross, but if you really want a frozen turd, i can tell you where the shovel is and you can go on a scavenger hunt in my yard for some.

[frapjap]

I know where my shovel is. Its against the support pole in your garage. haha.

Has Mark told you about his drunken Nico smash-a-thon he's been putting together?

[numbnuts240]

no, please enlighten me, this sounds promising already.

Which part?

I hated RE4 for one simple reason: no strafing.I can't sidestep half an inch. No, instead I have to rotate 90 degrees, walk forward, then rotate BACK to the way I was facing before. By which time mister monster-hiding-behind-the-door-frame has out-mobilitied me (note that Mr. M is a ZOMBIE) and is joyfully chewing on my neck.

The Wii version improved things a big, making knife implementation very slick.

But I simply can't tolerate a game in which your Secret Service trained protagonist gets outmaneuvered by mindless zombies due to incredibly crappy controls. At least RE1 had an excuse for crappy controls: it was an early 3D game and a ripoff of an earlier 3D game (from which it inherited it's crappy controls). RE4 happened TEN YEARS LATER and they STILL haven't discovered that in order for a game to be fun, you need controls to be clean, intuitive, and functional. RE4's controls are none of those 3. I expect no improvement in RE5. Ad on top of that the tedium of keeping a second character alive (one of the best recipes for fantastic SUCK in the history of videogame design) and you've got one hell of a controller-chucking game. I play games to RELAX, not to acquire a need for a blood pressure medication.

[numbnuts240]

idk what it is about rpg's, but they just don't entertain me. i like games that have a mission, so to speak, but at the same time, i could just goof off without interfering with the main game play.

I've played the game on both settings and it's not hard to out manuever those ganados, or any other baddies. I don't understand how you're being defeated by them.

I do agree though, they had the option to dodge in RE3, but it was only available against Nemesis. Why they didn't keep it with their new games and improve it, I don't know and it was a bad decision.

The knife is useless, unless you have the guy on the ground and he's the only one around you.

A game like RE isn't ment for just running around either though. You're suppose to listen to your surrounding and be cautious. The fun in the game isn't just its gameplay, it's its story and ability to make you become the character.

Another game I just found was "Dead Space." It looks pretty interesting. I might rent it before I buy it, since it's 2nd to RE5 and there used versions of it wont be cheap just yet.

It's probably their repetitiveness. All RPGs require you to continually do the samething: search for baddies, kill baddies, upgrade, repeat countless times, then continue with story about 30 mins of repetitiveness.

I like the side jobs. Gives me something extra to do.

[marlin29311]

Psh - you want real zombie killing? Here...

Lol, I saw it on ebgames the other day and was like, WTF?

Anywho, morning folks! It's friday!

[MinisterofDOOM]

The problem is not that I'm being defeated by them. It's that the control scheme is preventing me from doing it as easily and effortlessly as I SHOULD be able to. Doesn't matter if I win or loose the fight; the fact is the controls are in the way, and game controls should NEVER feel in the way. RE4's controls never stop getting in the way.

something along those lines lol

morning lou, how's the weekend looking?

[tiger-SE-R]

I know where my shovel is. Its against the support pole in your garage. haha.

Has Mark told you about his drunken Nico smash-a-thon he's been putting together?

no, please enlighten me, this sounds promising already.

It involves multiple cases of beer. Each NICOnaught armed with a hammer, and the destruction of a barn. and just for Ray, prolly a fire

[marlin29311]

Cold. Screw this weather. That, and I need new tires already - 12.5k and the stockers are shot - POS tires....

Other than that, just hanging out with the g/f, trying to get some sleep in. You?

[krimsonviper]

Thanks! and top of the morning to ya there' buddy!

I don't mind the controls at all. Not complicated. I hate having to get used to controls in the first few days of gameplay. I usually go back and do it better.

That's one thing I hate about new games and why my library is so small. I don't like having to press 3+ buttons and direction to get one thing done/completed. Like you said

I play games to RELAX, not to acquire a need for a blood pressure medication.

I want to press 1 or 2. Must be the reason why I like RPGs/FPS' so much more than anything out there.

did yours come stock with Potenzas?

I got those off as soon as I could. Switched to BF Goodrich Gforce for the warm weather. and Toyo observe snow tires for the winter.

i'm in and i'm bringing my sledge hammer. i would bring the axe too, but we don't need any drunken trips to the emergency room.

bar tonight for a buddy's b-day, work and fight night tomorrow, sunday i'll probably get my tv on the wall after sleeping in and either hit the mountain or catch a flick, haven't decided yet.

[drksolest]

hay guis! i'm so excited it's friday!!!!!!!

[MinisterofDOOM]

I don't know why it's so hard for me to explain this point. This is how all conversations about RE4 go for me.

The controls aren't COMPLICATED, they're INADEQUATE.

hay guis! i'm so excited it's friday!!!!!!!

Me to!!!!!!!!!!

I'm off in a bit to crawl in the mud (it's been raining for almost 24 hours straight) at pick-n-pull for Q parts now that Friday is finally here.

[numbnuts240]

[DrifterXRPS13]

It's so ironic that you guys are talking about resident evil, i just found my copy of resident evil:directors cut, dual shock edition...and i've been playing it...the only thing that sucks is i dont' have a ps1 memory card so i can't save it...just playing through from memory from about 10+ years ago.

[drksolest]

naow that sounds like fun! I might go to pull a part this weekend but i'm pretty sure the car i need shiz from is already raped n' dismembered.

whatcha gettin there?
